"Grandma, why did you beat the fifth girl in public today? After all, she is the daughter of the eldest family and the wife of the Marquis of Guangyang. The eldest lady is very protective of her shortcomings. If you go back to your parents' home, I'm afraid you will be scolded. "Zhulan was very worried.
Compared to Lamei who found it pleasurable to hit her, Zhulan thought more.
Among the maids beside Lishu, Tingxue and Siyu were bought from outside, Shuizhi and Shuiyun were given by the old lady, and they were all released when they reached their age. Shuizhi and Shuiyun are now in charge of the shop and the village, while Tingxue and Siyu have become housekeepers. Especially after Lishu became the housekeeper, their power has greatly increased.
But the general default is that the eldest girl's status is higher than that of the mother in charge. Among them, Zhulan is very trusted by Lishu. She usually manages Lishu's warehouse and is taciturn, but as long as she speaks, she always speaks the truth.
Li Shu said: "If I don't hit her, will she be finished? The most popular news about me hitting her is that she deliberately asked me to play the piano because of the quarrel between the sisters. But if I don't hit her, the princess will What do you think of her? Do you think she and Chi Song have the same nose? Does Cen Shifang still want to hang out in the East Palace? As for the eldest aunt, she can scold her if she wants. I don’t need to explain. Growing up, Li Zhen This temper was also indulged by her. At her husband's house she ruined my grand-in-law's birthday gift out of jealousy, and at home she ruined my piano out of jealousy. She spoke uncontrollably and just for the sake of anger. I had long wanted to beat her."
"Yes, she has purely bad intentions." Zhulan understood what Lishu meant, because Lishu was not afraid of people's words, she wanted results.
Li Zhen burst into tears on the spot and ran home crying to complain. She wanted to take back all the grievances she had suffered today.
Mrs. Xu said in disbelief: "Lishu beat you?"
"Yes, not only that, but they also said everywhere that I plagiarized her poems, and even called me a literary thief in front of the princess. Will my daughter still live in the future..." Li Zhen felt that Li Shu was too vicious.
Mrs. Xu frowned: "Impossible. What good will it do to Lishu if she does this?"
"Since she went there last time on my father-in-law's birthday, she guessed that it would be bad to inquire about my situation, so she was very targeted towards me. She also wanted to step on me with Lin Taoer." Li Zhen could only think of this. .
Mrs. Xu was very angry, and they called Little Fu over again. Little Fu didn't know why. She sat down and listened to Mrs. Xu and Li Zhen talking about each other, but she remained calm all the time.
"Sister-in-law, you have known what my sister-in-law is like for so many years. Every time Wu Yatou targets her, she only responds with one or two words, but she never says anything in front of outsiders. Sister-in-law, don't listen to Wu Yatou's one-sided words. We have to start from the beginning first, Fifth Girl, you don’t need to say anything, let your girl start from the beginning." Little Fu looked at Suyun and Suxin standing behind Lizhen and said.
Mrs. Xu looked at Suxin: "Say."
Su Xin has always been clever and good at Spring and Autumn calligraphy, and she speaks and does things appropriately. Now she is also Li Zhen's right-hand man in the Hou Mansion.
Su Xin said: "Our fifth girl went with Mrs. Lin today. Just when they were standing outside waiting for the princess to receive her, the second girl came. As soon as the second girl came over, she said happily to our second grandma Lin, and We girls said hello. Then after we went in to meet the princess, the crown prince mentioned that the second girl could play the piano. We, the fifth girl, thought that the second girl was a family after all, and also joked that the second girl played the piano well, slave and maid. I swear, it was like this at that time,
After that, the second girl started to curse our girl, and everyone in the hall was dumbfounded. "
No matter who sounds like this, they will know that it is Li Shu's problem? Although Xiao Fu believed in her daughter, she didn't know what really happened.
Therefore, she said: "If that's the case, then I'll call Li Shu to come and ask?"
Mrs. Xu also glanced at Suxin appreciatively. Suxin was still frightened when she had to do business in front of her master. The second girl is a powerful person. She is so courageous that she even dares to beat her own sisters. She is happy, but both the Liu family and the Guangyang Marquis Mansion will target her.
After Li Shu returned home, Zheng Hao was still surprised: "Why did you come back early? You said I would pick you up later."
"Of course it's because something happened." Li Shu explained the matter again.
Zheng Hao held her hand and said, "Did you slap her?"
"Yeah, I've long disliked her. She used to make little fuss, but now she actually says that in front of the Crown Princess and the Princess. Isn't she trying to frame me or what? If I don't scare her like this, she will become more and more unscrupulous in the future. ." Lishu is someone who will never regret what she has done.
Zheng Hao nodded: "You're right. Fortunately, you are quick-witted, but I think you have to go back and talk to your mother-in-law tomorrow."
Li Shu said: "That's not your problem, but my eldest aunt is very protective of my shortcomings, and I'm afraid she might hate me."
"Isn't it unwise to hate you so much?"
"How many people in the world are fair and just? Aren't they all helping relatives but not taking care of children?"
"Lishu, how did you become so careless and have no regrets? Sometimes I envy you." Zheng Hao looked at Lishu with bright eyes.
Li Shu found it funny: "What envy? I will be called a shrew. For such a shrewd woman, people outside may give you a few wives."
Zheng Hao waved his hand quickly: "You know, I have always been the most loyal to you, and whatever you say will be whatever you say."
"Nonsense, why don't you eat carrots when I tell you to eat them? And you are extremely picky about food and like to sit for long periods of time. I have to remind you to soak your feet every day. I asked you to press the acupuncture points on the soles of your feet for you, but you still don't let me. I press." Li Shu felt that he was too pretentious.
Zheng Hao felt a little guilty, but he also knew how to coax Li Shu, so he held her hand and said, "Thanks to you, otherwise I don't know how to live."
"She's very slippery." Li Shu smiled.
On the other side, Chi Song also talked about today's events: "Originally, I wanted to use this matter to expose the Crown Princess, but I didn't know that it was ruined by that Aunt Zheng. She pretended to be crazy..."
She originally wanted to tell Xiao Yun, but she didn't expect that Xiao Yun was already furious as soon as she finished speaking: "Who asked you to talk about this matter?"
Chi Song was startled: "Wouldn't this matter be more of a blow to the East Palace? Is there a better way to drive a wedge between Princess Funing and the Crown Princess? Besides, I brought out this Aunt Zheng because her husband had no official position. It’s so high, it’s okay even if you use it to make a raft.”
"I'm warning you, don't use others as a raft. Now we and Dong Gong are not at odds with each other." Xiao Yun quickly found a reason.
Although Xiao Yun and Chi Song were not close friends before, they still respected each other as guests. Now this situation caught her off guard.
I saw red that night, although it was not big
But Chi Song can no longer go out and can only rest at home. ()

"That Aunt Zheng hit someone in the mouth so hard that my sister-in-law was so angry that she cried. I think this is a bit too much. After all, we are sisters."
Cen Shiyan said: "The Liu family is a famous family, but it does not mean that the famous families are really harmonious. These noble ladies have learned to fight against each other since they were young. Especially Grandma Zheng, I heard that Zheng Shi is a bit henpecked, which is enough to see that She's amazing. Don't be so foolish as to think she's your friend, otherwise you really have nothing, and even I may not be able to save you."
Lin Taoer nodded silently. She grew up in a simple environment. After she came to Guangyang Marquis Mansion, the old Marquis liked Cen Shiyan very much. Cen Shiyan was promising, so she was able to do it with ease. But today she knew that she felt that she was able to do it with ease because of her opponent. It's Li Zhen, not Li Shu.
Today, she finally saw what it means to speak well and write with a clear mind. Moreover, she was arrogant and loud in the front, but she could compliment someone later and then hit someone when she came out.
He has a quick mind, speaks with great energy, and his appearance is as beautiful as if it has its own divine light.
Love is also very loving, and fear is also very scary.
Until the next day, Lishu came back very early. She was taken to see her grandmother. Here were her mother and her eldest aunt. The way the eldest aunt looked at her, she just wanted to eat her.
"Lishu, Lizhen ran back crying yesterday and said that you beat her? What on earth is going on?" Little Fu asked first.
Li Shu sighed: "If I didn't do this, I'm afraid the Crown Princess would have to deal with her. When the Crown Princess saw the Crown Princess coming yesterday, she deliberately instigated me to play the piano, saying that I could attract birds to stop by playing the piano. I came to attack the Crown Princess for her auspiciousness, but the fifth sister agreed to become the prince and princess, forcing me to play the piano. If I played, it would prove that the Crown Princess was fake. How could the Crown Princess let the fifth sister go? ?The fifth brother-in-law is doing things for the East Palace, but his wife is singing along with the Crown Princess Cheng."
"This caused a rift between the sisters. She forced me to play the piano because she was at odds with me. She did not intentionally go against the East Palace. She deliberately went against the Crown Princess. She is fine."
Everyone was silent after hearing this. Little Fu also glanced at Mrs. Xu, and she smiled and said, "I knew Lishu would not do such a thing for no reason."
Mrs. Liu said: "The devil will suffer when the king of hell fights. You are right to do this. Princess Longchang is not easy to deal with."
Mrs. Xu, however, said calmly: "What you say sounds nice, but who knows if it is true?"
"Auntie, why should I deal with Li Zhen? She can't even deal with Lin Tao'er from the countryside, and she was caught by others. How is her life in Guangyang Marquis Mansion going? I just watch with cold eyes. Cheng, why bother dragging myself into the water? Li Zhen is also often at odds with her outside. When my eldest sister gave birth to her nephew, she and I met outside. She also ridiculed me for not having a baby for so long after we were married, but she In this way, have I ever said anything against her?" Li Shu's mouth was not forgiving.
Mrs. Liu didn't want to hear these grievances. Her face was indifferent. Little Fu listened to Mrs. Xu's yin and yang words and helped Li Shu: "Sister-in-law, it's time for Li Shu to change her temper. You have to know that the Hou Mansion is not like our family, and it involves a fight for the reserve, so the people above us will not treat us as human beings."
So what if Liu Chengzong is a royal guard?
() Now that Liu Chengxu has retired, how many more years can Liu Chengzong continue?
Mrs. Xu whispered in a low voice: "You are black and you can say white, and it was Li Shu who wanted to perform for Princess Longchang Mansion. Now that you are implicated, you are using Li Zhen to block the trouble?"
"Okay, next time if something happens to her, don't say we won't help."
Li Shu didn't want to endure it anymore.
Little Fu pretended to scold her daughter, "Shu'er, don't be rude to your elders."
"Yes." Li Shu didn't really mean to admit her mistake.
Of course Mrs. Xu was angry, but she was no longer the same person she was then. Furthermore, she had to confirm with her daughter what Lishu said.
Li Shu was saying goodbye to little Fu: "I have something to do at home today. I will come back to talk to my mother in a few days."
"Shu'er, is this really over?" Little Fu was still worried.
Li Shu smiled and said: "Is it possible that the Crown Princess is willing to uncover the scars herself? Besides, she may not be able to be a reliable Crown Princess. I think that if the Prince and Crown Princess are like this, they may know about Dong Palace's body, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future. "
Seeing her daughter talking and laughing freely, Mrs. Fu poked Lishu on the forehead: "You are so brave."
Lishu looked determined. At that time, she wanted to marry Zheng Hao to make up for the regrets of her previous life and fulfill her mother's wish. Therefore, she does not regret it now.
What Mrs. Xu said to Li Zhen, and how Mrs. Xu sent generous gifts to the Crown Princess on her birthday to make up for it, is another story for another day.
When all the relatives knew about this, they all had different reactions. Lirou was pregnant again. She said softly to Wu Xuanhe: "My second sister and my fifth sister have never been on good terms. When we were in the boudoir, the fifth sister often Ironically, I don’t like the second sister. The other sisters and I will give in to the fifth sister. After all, she is the youngest, but only the second sister will not let her."
"That's no wonder. Your fifth sister doesn't have a good reputation, but your second sister is also a ruthless person." Wu Xuanhe could only say this.
Li Rou smiled and said, "We can just live our own little life."
"Yes." Wu Xuanhe looked at Lirou's belly and knew that she was a concubine. He had always lived a cautious life and did not want to trouble her with other matters.
But these few things made Zheng Hao realize that he must not let the Crown Prince sit in that position, otherwise it will be like this now, and he doesn't know what will happen in the future.
He had a plan in mind, but he didn't tell anyone about it and kept it secretly in his heart.
This year, because Mr. Zheng is the governor of both sides, Mrs. Zheng wants to pray for her son and is going to Qinglian Temple. Mrs. Zheng is also going to accompany him, so she tells Lishu to take care of the house.
"Don't worry, the doctor said that my sister-in-law's fetus is well raised and she is very careful herself, so don't worry." Li Shu said.
Mrs. Zheng held her daughter-in-law's hand: "It doesn't matter if she gives birth to a son or a daughter. You can also be more relaxed in the future."
"Mother~" Li Shu didn't expect Mrs. Zheng to say this.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "That's what being an eldest daughter-in-law is like, taking care of everything. A eldest sister-in-law is like a mother! If they don't have to worry about you, you can worry less."
"I have never thought about this. Brother Qing is our uncle's brother, and he is not in good health. I treat him as my own brother." No matter how good she is, Li Shu will not reveal that she wants to start her own business. the meaning of.
Mrs. Zheng was also satisfied.
As for the quarrel between Lishu and her sisters some time ago, Mrs. Zheng was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she stopped interfering.
After her mother-in-law and mother-in-law left, Lishu was finally able to manage the house by herself without any constraints. The first thing she had to emphasize was the issue of night watch at home.
"The women from the second house are drinking and gambling, and some of them are taking advantage of their seniority to do so. Since I have appointed you this time, you have to take good care of them for me. If anyone doesn't listen, he will be dealt with according to the family rules and replaced by one of ours. .()”
≈ldo;?()_[()]?『Come to[]♂see the latest chapter♂complete chapter』()”
"Well, you go ahead, don't betray my cultivation just for a few nice words. I have always made a distinction between public and private matters." Lishu said in a stern tone.
Tingxue and Siyu didn't dare to be careless.
And how to conduct things everywhere, how to report accounts, old and unreasonable routines should be changed, and reasonable ones should continue to be used.
Lishu herself was very energetic, and Qi Geer was now older and no longer needed her to hold him every day. Therefore, the rules from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night made the Zheng family miserable.
They complained at first, but then they gradually got used to it.
Especially after many senior and idle people were replaced, the younger generation became more disciplined.
For example, regarding the door package issue, Li Shu would rather increase the monthly salary of the concierge, but the prerequisite is to abolish the door package system, so that there will be no such bad habits when poor students come to the door, or when officials come to visit. In an instant, everyone who comes to and from the Zheng family feels that the atmosphere has changed drastically.
Some people like this kind of purge and some don't. Like Zheng Hao, I think it's very good because Lishu manages the house in a very orderly manner, and everyone performs their duties and can't mess with the rules. Moreover, the monthly payment is very timely, which is rare. .
The problem of monthly money is not only the Zheng family's, but also the imperial court's salary arrears all year round. The frontline soldiers' salaries may not be paid in time. It is good if they can be paid after half a year.
"Shu'er, you've done an excellent job as a housekeeper, and now everything is in good order."
"I'm very happy to have your support. Even if those people call me the King of Hell behind my back, I'm not afraid. Things must be done. I don't care what happens in the future. Anyway, I will let the capable and the mediocre take the lead for one day, and this family will be transformed." The management is as solid as gold," Li Shu said.
Zheng Hao encouraged: "If there is any inconvenience, just tell me."
"Well, don't worry. After all, I have assisted my mother in housekeeping for a few years. Although I am not as good as my wife in taking charge of the house alone, nothing will go wrong." Li Shu said.
During the birthday banquet of the Crown Princess, many people went into the palace to celebrate. Lishu went into the palace with another colleague from the Hanlin Academy. Because Zheng Hao also held a post in Zhan Shifu, they were the wives of officials in the East Palace.
In public, everyone was just having fun. The Crown Princess was never easy to get along with. After everyone kowtowed here, another married woman came in. Li Shu heard her mother say that her aunt had sent a large gift this time. Let Li Shu sigh with emotion.
It is true that if you raise a child to be a hundred years old, you will have to worry about ninety-nine.
Li Zhen now has lost all her dignity at home and outside. She has lost face, and even the housekeeper has no prestige. What's more, she doesn't have it now
()housekeeper,
Even the servants dare to gossip behind his back.
She even wanted to commit suicide.
But after all, she was afraid of hanging herself, and cutting her wrists would be even more painful, so she couldn't bear to die.
It was so good to be alive. Why did she have to die? It was Lishu who made it impossible for her to survive in the circle of ladies in Shangjing. Why did she want to save her life for revenge?
Thinking of this, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her mother had sent someone to deliver gifts to the East Palace.
A few months later, Tan was about to give birth. It happened that Tan's natal family all went to Beijing to wait for official duties, and they all lived in the Zheng family. Tan had many brothers and sisters, but now there was only one little sister who followed them to Beijing. Stay with Tan.
Tan's younger sister is also fair-skinned and fair-skinned. She is already growing up, but her talents and learning are somewhat better than those of her elder sister.
But the Tan family is very defensive, so Li Shu heard Lamei say: "Second Grandma's place is strictly guarded against deadlocks. I heard that the Tan family wanted Second Grandma to help arrange a good marriage. Second Grandma felt very embarrassed, so she scolded her instead." I gave Mrs. Tan a few words and said she thought she was taller because she was standing on tiptoes."
Li Shu said: "Although she has many family members, it is not easy for a big family to survive. They have to take care of themselves. I heard that she even donated five hundred taels of incense money to the temple in order to give birth to a child. This year, she is afraid that it will be cold in the winter, so she will spend more money. With the money, she can buy a fur coat, take regular tonics, and add a few of her favorite dishes, all of which require money."
The family hasn't been separated yet, but when the family is separated and lives alone, Zheng Qing will have to take medicine all year round, and he doesn't know how much it will cost.
Of course, Lishu would not trade in inferior products just to save money. Now Zheng Qing's family is still living a very comfortable life. Even if the Tan family has been the prefect for several terms, they still feel that it is beyond their reach.
Of course Master Tan wanted to be promoted at this age, so Zheng Hao personally took her to the residence of the Minister of Civil Affairs. After all, the two families were related, so she just said hello to Wu Xuanhe. Magistrate Tan couldn't help but be happy that she could enter the residence of the Minister of Civil Affairs. , but Zheng Hao remained calm.
Soon, Mrs. Tan gave birth to a daughter for Zheng Qing, and Mrs. Tan was promoted to the second rank to participate in politics. Mr. Tan was very happy and flattered the Zheng family. He also told Mrs. Tan to be more filial to the elders of the Zheng family and to be respectful to his elder brothers.
Mrs. Tan didn't have anything to say. Even if her sister-in-law's natal father was dismissed from office and became a citizen, she was still respectful and did not dare to say anything.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng nodded secretly, and then said to Zheng Hao: "The Tan family comes from a poor family, but has a big heart. It's the end of participating in politics. In the future, she won't have to worry about her family."
It is a good thing for those who are capable to climb to high positions, but it is a disaster for those who are not capable.
Zheng Hao smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have already given him two masters. Whether this official is good or not depends on the master. Just let Mr. Tan listen to the master's instructions."
"Good idea." Mrs. Zheng approved.
After the mother and son finished speaking, Mrs. Zheng said: "Aren't you going to your wife's natal house today, why don't you go?"
Today, Li Shu and Zheng Hao went back to their parents' home together. Since they had brought the Zeng family over, the Zeng family had observed mourning for two years. Now that they were returning to Beijing, they naturally had to do some walking.
Unfortunately, the second master of the Zeng family also passed away in the year that Mrs. Zeng passed away. The head of Jintan County is only now pregnant, while Liwan is still childless despite her early filial piety.
The female relatives were all sitting together talking, and Lijia was talking to the head of Jintan County: "What a coincidence, you and the Crown Princess are biological sisters, and they got pregnant on the same day. Maybe you will give birth to a son, who can be with your grandson." I’m here to read along.”
Liwan herself is not pregnant and does not like it.
I love hearing news about other people’s pregnancies,
So he pulled Lishu and Lirou and asked, "Why don't you see the fifth sister?"
I haven’t seen my mother-in-law’s family in two years.
Liwan noticed that everyone had changed. Lijia's face had become thinner, her cheekbones had become taller, and the veins on her exposed hands were obvious. However, she was also much more talkative and very sociable than before. Dressed in a light purple shirt, Li Shu seemed to be more calm and beautiful than before, and her eyebrows were a little more decisive. I heard that she was in charge of the entire Zheng family and indeed had a mistress-like air. As for Lirou, she had a smile on her face because she was pregnant.
The only thing I didn't see was Li Zhen, which makes no sense. Li Zhen usually makes the final appearance on such occasions, and is extremely dignified.
But they didn't speak, and Liwan didn't come here. She came here to seek help from her parents, because Zeng Yunxi took over the second room in Yangzhou because her belly was big. If she didn't come in, she would have a baby. But it’s not justified.
How dare Zeng Yunxi dare to do so in the past, but now although Liu Chengzong is still serving as a royal guard in the Liu family, Liu Chengxu has resigned from office to serve the people and is a businessman who values profits. Although the Zeng family has never recovered, Zeng Yunxi's attitude has become subtle because the second wife has taken over the East Palace. .
After the banquet was over, Li Shu changed her clothes and went to Mr. Fu's place. As soon as she entered, she heard Li Wan crying: "It would have been fine if he didn't lead me in, but now he says that he has a big belly outside and wants to get a second wife. That This woman's family runs a big business and she is also a serious young lady. If she comes in, where will I have a foothold? Please help me, madam, to knock on the Zeng family."
Li Shu thought to herself that you were merciless when you tricked the Liu family, and now you have to ask your mother's family to step in. She just doesn't know how the little Fu family will behave?
But don't agree, otherwise the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf will happen. !
