When we came back, we were in such a hurry that we didn't have time to appreciate the passing scenery. Now that we were returning, Lishu was not in such a hurry. She sometimes went out to watch the sunset on the shore, which was very beautiful.
The sunset is beautiful, but it's almost dusk. There is an atmosphere of happiness and sadness. It has been several years since Lishu was reborn. She rarely recalls the events of her previous life, especially after all the obstacles in her previous life have been removed. She is now starting a new life with Zheng Hao and has to meet new people. challenge.
This challenge is Zheng Hao's lifespan. When she was first reborn, she felt that she still had many years left in her forties. Even when she first met Zheng Hao, Zheng Hao was only nineteen years old and very indifferent. Although he was decent, he was different from what she had imagined.
But more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Zheng Hao is fifteen years old this year. Although he still looks charming, they have the same mind and are free. There is only each other between husband and wife. If he only has nine years to live, then she won't She knew how she would live in the future. After all, she was such a strong person and would never die for love, but she didn't want to live alone for the rest of her life.
Tears fell down as I thought about it, and I couldn't even stop them.
She turned her back to everyone, and they didn't know she was crying and didn't dare to come forward. Zheng Hao came here at this time. The couple had been able to sleep in the same room recently, and there were endless intimate things to talk about and do.
But he never expected to see tears stained on Li Shu's fair face, which made him pause for a moment. In his eyes, she was always fearless, never cried, and could handle no matter how difficult or dangerous things happened. What made her like this?
"Shu'er." Zheng Hao didn't know what happened, but he took the lead in hugging her to comfort her.
Li Shu resisted a little at first, but then she threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.
Lamei, who was guarding outside, heard the wailing and thought she had heard it wrong. Then she was a little surprised and said, "Zhulan, why are we girls crying?"
In the eyes of their servants, the eldest grandma is undoubtedly the luckiest girl in the world. Her appearance, family background and talents are all top-notch. Countless young masters and men will like her very much as long as they meet her once. The person she was getting married to was a son of the top family in the capital, and he was also the number one scholar. He was very devoted to her. Even after getting married, there were no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The birth of children went smoothly, and even the two sons were born smart.
How could such a person cry so sadly?
Zhu Lan shook her head: "Sometimes from the outside looking in, everything seems to be good, but everything may not be what you want."
Lamei nodded: "What you are saying is that Grandma Yu is an official's wife. She lives in such a big house and has countless servants, but who would have thought that her obsession is so deep."
Zheng Hao was even more confused when the two girls were so emotional, but he thought that Li Shu must have encountered something very difficult, otherwise it would not be like this.
Lishu was tired from crying. She saw him patting her repeatedly and said with a crying smile: "I'm not a little baby like Brother Shu. Why are you coaxing me like this?"
"Aren't you just a little doll? Outside you are a majestic queen. What's wrong with you at home? I'm the only one who feels bad for her." Zheng Hao didn't know why she was like this, but he felt very distressed.
After finally stopping her tears, Zheng Hao ordered someone to fetch water to cleanse and evenly powder her face. Li Shu cleaned up and did not mention her crying again.
Li Shu thought that this matter was over, but Zheng Hao was very worried about her and had been observing her secretly.
After the boat finally docked, Zheng Hao asked Li Shu to make preparations and take his wife and children off the boat for a trip to relax.
Li Shu was in a good mood. She changed into a set of clothes with less patterns and dressed very elegantly. She wore a few light silk flowers on her head. When she appeared in front of Zheng Hao, she even turned around.
"How is it? Do I look like the shopkeeper?"
"It's not like a flower fairy or a hibiscus."
No matter when, what Zheng Hao said always made Li Shu very happy, as if she would always be the most beautiful in his eyes.
This is not a big place, just a small town. Because water and land are cheap, there are many people traveling from north to south and there are many shops here.
Coming back from the house in Xingzhou, it felt like seeing the light of day again, especially since Brother Shu was still young when he came back, and now he is five years old. Seeing all the excitement, he has long been so happy that he can't find anything to do with it.
The two young brothers were wearing dark green cross-collar robes with red belts in the middle, looking particularly energetic.
But Li Shu said to them: "Don't be photographed by the flower-girls. You must follow your father and mother."
"Mom, can the person who takes pictures of flowers really dig out our eyes and beat us without giving us food to eat?" Qi Ge'er thought it was incredible, how could there be such a bad person in the world.
Li Shu said more cruelly: "That's natural. You don't know. There is something even more cruel. Don't you like to run? They will break your legs. So if you can't eat the food given by outsiders, then you can't eat it." Eat, and don’t run around by yourself, do you hear me?”
The two brothers agreed like chickens pecking at rice.
But I saw people making clay figurines, selling masks, and even a small salesman. His shop also had kites, lanterns, exquisite birdcages, fire sickles, and axes.
Brother Shu saw the gourd and wanted to buy it. Li Shu asked someone to buy a red gourd with snow spots and tie it to him. Brother Shu looked up at Li Shu and said, "Mom, can I put some wine in it?" Huh? My daughter-in-law sees that others use gourds to hold wine."
Li Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Silly boy, wine is for adults, not children. When you get back, I'll fill it with water so you can drink from the gourd. It's also a wonderful thing."
Brother Shu couldn't wait to go back and fill the water immediately, which made everyone laugh. Brother Qi was also speechless at this precious little brother.
It's just that the group of people didn't dare to buy snacks to eat outside. They were probably afraid of being acclimatized. If you get diarrhea after eating, vomiting and diarrhea on the boat can be a torturous disease. It's okay for adults, especially children with weak spleen and stomach. This is not the case. .
Zheng Hao originally thought that Li Shu liked to eat these snacks, but seeing how cautious she was, he couldn't help but said: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you like snacks very much in Beijing in the past? I heard that the local noodles are even better."
Li Shu said: "No matter where this person goes, it's not that the local food is not delicious, but it is easy for him to become acclimatized. In Beijing, the soil and water are the same. Besides, there are doctors who can treat him, but not on a ship."
"That's fine." Zheng Hao agreed.
Li Shu looked at him again: "Actually, I'm also worried about you. Although that incident has been in the past for so long, who knows if the poison from Chuan Wu is still there."
It turned out that he was worried about himself, and Zheng Hao felt very sweet in his heart.
When the four of them returned, they met their acquaintances Cen Shiyan and Lin Taoer. It turned out that they were returning to Beijing to report on their work, but they did not expect to pass through this town on the way. Lin Taoer couldn't bear it anymore, so she took her son out to eat. Now she had vomiting and diarrhea. The house leaked and it rained all night. Their boat leaked again halfway through the trip.
Cen Shiyan was an upright official. When they separated, they took a small shop and a house in the countryside and drove them out. Mrs. Cen had a son, Cen Shifang, who came back to support him after winning the battle. Even though Cen Shiyan was a Jinshi, she was not afraid.
In terms of patriarchal etiquette, she was the elder. As an official, Cen Shiyan had to respect his aunt.
When he was an official outside, he did not accept bribes, so he was not wealthy. Fortunately, there is Lin Taoer who can take care of the family business, but it can only turn around, and she is not enough to manage the whole business. She is not familiar with officialdom. Now the boat is leaking and she has to rent a boat. At this time, she met Li Shu and his group.
Lin Taoer seemed to have seen a savior: "Mr. Zheng, those are Mr. Zheng and Aunt Zheng. I'll go up and ask. Aunt Zheng is a very good person."
Cen Shiyan immediately stepped forward to greet Zheng Hao: "The student has met his mentor."
"Get up, no need to be polite." Zheng Hao was not surprised to see Cen Shiyan. Even Cen Shiyan's boat leaked just right. It was no coincidence.
The men got into the boat first. Only then did Li Shu find out that Zheng Hao turned out to be Cen Shiyan's junior master. Why did Dali Temple find out the case so quickly in his previous life? It was probably Zheng Hao who helped him. He was really the best person in this world, no matter in his previous life or in this life. They are all very nice people to her.
After coming back to her senses, Li Shu said: "Ask the doctor to prescribe the medicine. If it works, we can leave. You don't have to worry."
Lin Taoer said happily: "Okay, I really don't know how to thank you."
"Whatever it is, you should help out when you go out. I'll ask someone to clean up a few cabins and you can live in peace. If there is anything missing, just ask my maid Zhulan." Li Shu added. Zhulan pointed it out to her.
Lin Taoer saw that Zhulan was just a girl, but her behavior was elegant and graceful. She looked like the head of a family. Moreover, this girl Zhulan became more and more outstanding and dressed up very well. Everyone knew that the mistress of the family was taboo about beautiful maids. Lin Taoer had seen a lot of nasty things when she was in the Cen family, and her fifth sister was like that.
Fortunately, Lin Taoer has never experienced this kind of pain. Seeing Lishu like this, she will definitely live a comfortable life.
After all, the two had a close friendship, and Li Shu couldn't ask any more questions. In short, Cen Shifang came back from other places. He was the prince's son. Since the mourning period of Queen Chi passed, the prince married another daughter of a high official, and his status was very high. firm. Cen Shifang had been the crown prince for a long time, so he naturally rose to prominence. Li Zhen had been having children recently, and her uncle and father were both high officials in the court, so she was able to survive.
She had already avenged the grudge between Li Shu and Li Zhen. Now that she was living a good life, Li Shu did not feel any resentment.
Lin Taoer, on the other hand, waited for her son to take the medicine and when Lishu came to visit, and then said: "I was young in the past, and I always felt that I was different from the people in the house. They all seemed to be made from the same mold, and their words expressed different meanings. , and those countless etiquettes, which I find very boring. But now, I am gradually becoming like them, but I am not good enough. I can’t raise a son well, and the boats I rent now are all broken. ”
Li Shu didn't expect that a spiritual girl like her would become depressed because of daily necessities. She couldn't see it, so she said: "These are just small things. In fact, sometimes I despise the cumbersome etiquette, but who in the world doesn't?" We are bound, but these things can restrain our bodies, but they cannot restrain our hearts."
When Lin Taoer was disgraced by the housework, she felt that she was socializing like officials and wives, and was forced to talk to people she didn't like. She had to find ways to make money for the servants and staff. Sometimes she almost got laughed at because of the clothes she wore. Her husband was poor and did not live in the same society, so the couple was ostracized, which made her feel sad. Thinking about it now, she felt that the boring life she lived in Guangyang Marquis Mansion at that time was the most comfortable.
But after hearing Li Shu's words, she knew that she had not been assimilated, that her heart did not really regard life as a piece of grass, numb and rigid. She was still the same Lin Taoer who yearned for freedom. :,,
