Tongzhou Port is still so lively. Whether they are going north or preparing to go south, whether they are traffickers or promoted officials, they all gather here. There seems to be a sense of reaching the same destination through different routes.
Lishu just got off the boat and walked underground, feeling that her feet were on solid ground.
But when she heard someone calling her, she thought she was hallucinating, but Zheng Hao stepped forward and said, "Shu'er, this is my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Three years later, her father was about to return to Beijing to report on his work. Lishu looked back and saw Shulin helping her mother over. Lishu was very excited and ran away immediately. Little Fu also felt like he was dreaming. Yes, he stretched out his hands to catch his daughter.
In front of parents, people of all ages are like children.
Little Mrs. Fu cried: "In the past three years, my mother has missed you and Brother Qi and Brother Shu every day. I didn't expect to actually see you."
"Mom, why are you crying? Isn't it a good thing for us mother and daughter to meet each other?" Lishu felt that her mother had gained weight in recent years and seemed to be more sentimental.
Looking at Shulin again, he had grown so much and was now a big boy. She pulled him and said, "He's a head taller than me."
"Sister." Shulin was very shy.
Lishu said to little Fu: "Our Shulin used to be very naughty, jumping up and down, but now he looks shy."
Mrs. Fu had seen her daughter who had not seen her for several years, but now she was more capable and confident. She knew that a lot of things might have happened to her during her trip to Xingyang, so she suppressed her emotions for the time being.
Li Shu asked Shu Rui again: "Brother Rui is studying at home, and I don't know what's going on? Has mother promised to marry him?"
Little Fu nodded: "Your grandfather said that he had a marriage arranged for him, but the woman is still young. Besides, I think he will have to wait for another two years to take the examination. If he wins in the future, it will be a good story."
"Yes, this is a good thing. I didn't expect Brother Rui to get married so soon. Life goes by so fast. I also brought up Shulin when he was a child, and now he has become a young man." Li Shu always felt that life passed by quickly, like a fleeting moment. She never thought that life would be so easy. In the past, the days in the grassland always felt like they could never be completed, and the days were like years.
Little Mrs. Fu touched her daughter's hair and said a few words affectionately.
Not far away, Zhu Lingxuan had just gotten married and left her parents. Thinking of the scene where she was Cheng Huan's mother, she said to Lin Taoer with envy: "My aunt is so mature in front of us, but she is completely different in front of Mrs. Liu." , I miss my mother too."
Lin Taoer pursed her lips and thought of her mother. Thanks to her, when she got married, the Lin family moved from being an ordinary teacher to Fucheng. That was the farthest place they had ever been. Since she married Cen Shiyan, she has never gone back, and she has long forgotten the days when her parents loved her.
Immediately, Lin Taoer looked around and saw that Grandma Zheng's brother was tall and powerful. He was about forty years older than her mother, but he looked about thirty years old, very young, and his eyes were full of doting. , her father, Mr. Liu, was tall. Although he was talking to Zheng Hao, he lowered his head from time to time and showed great concern for his daughter.
That's great, that's great.
Lin Taoer had received a lot of care from Li Shu along the way, and she thought that she would definitely return this love.
On Lishu's side, seeing that the wind was getting stronger and there were more and more people, she couldn't block the road, so she had no choice but to say: "Let's get in the carriage and go home first, and then go back to our parents' house after our daughter has settled down."
Little Mrs. Fu took her daughter's hand and said, "Just come here with your daughter and son-in-law. Your family will have to buy things when you go back. It will be very troublesome."
"I'm fine. It's just that this time there are clan members coming over, and I have to go back and clean up. It's not as good as when I first got married, and I can run to my parents' house." Lishu was also very regretful.
Little Fu didn't force it. She knew her daughter was telling the truth, but she told her: "You have packed up and come home."
"Don't worry, I'm going to pick you, dad and brothers over to play." Li Shu was very happy.
She only talked to Mr. Fu, and Liu Chengxu was unhappy: "Daughter, daddy wants to eat your pimp eel."
"Okay, okay." Li Shu saw Liu Chengxu. Although his temples were white, he was in good spirits and very energetic.
My father has also reached the age where he knows his destiny, so what if he doesn’t know his grandparents? When these things were lingering in her mind, she waited until she got on the carriage to remember that she had forgotten to ask Yuchan, but it was not a big deal. Her parents also gave her a lot of antiques in dowry.
Everyone parted ways at Tongzhou Pier. Cen Shiyan and Lin Taoer also went back to the nearby coachman first, while Li Shu took her family back with the steward from Beijing.
After three years, the Zheng family left some servants to look after the house. When they came back, the house was already in good order. Lishu first arranged the accommodation for Zheng Miao and his wife and the descendants of the tribe who were accompanying them, and then asked people to pack their luggage, go to Fanlou to order two banquets, and also pack gifts for relatives everywhere. She was very busy. Not open to trade.
When she complained about being busy, Zheng Hao laughed at her: "You are all bored in your hometown and have nothing to do on weekdays. Well, now that your busy feet are off the ground, you are complaining again."
"I'm already busy, but instead of helping others, you still laugh at me, so be careful I hit you." Lishu snorted.
In fact, she was very happy. When she came back this time, there were no elders above her. It was all her own decision. Although she was a little busier, she felt free after all.
Besides, she also has her right-hand assistants, the four stewardesses she trained, and the two girls are very useful.
Then there was Zhu Lingxuan. Li Shu was afraid that the gift she had prepared was inappropriate, so she added a pair of Qishou Changchun white stone bonsai for her. Zhu Lingxuan of course thanked her again and again. She came with Li Shu all the way, especially when she lived in the Zheng family's house in the middle of the capital, only then did she know the luxury of the wealthy family that her mother said. If she hadn't married Zheng Miao, she would not have been able to marry into this family, and there would be no restriction from her mother-in-law.
Although they live in Zheng's house as a couple, it is a separate small courtyard in the west corner gate, and it is also used by their own people, so there is no feeling of being controlled by others.
It's just that Zhu Lingxuan was worried about her aunt's looks on her face, which made her a little unhappy. Although it was difficult to show it in front of Li Shu, she was still a little worried in her own room.
Lishu will not care about these housework matters that belong to them. She always adheres to one point: try not to participate in other people's housework casually. You are not others. If you participate too much, the family will be reconciled, but you will become the chief culprit. The culprit.
Lishu's gifts were sent everywhere, and the Liu family quickly returned the gifts. Danhong still had the bright and cheerful temperament of her youth and said with a smile: "Our first wife said that the peach blossoms are in full bloom in the past two days, so let's You and your uncle will take your two brothers to play."
"Okay, I understand. Danhong, we haven't seen each other for a few years. How are you at home? How is my mother?" Lishu asked.
Danhong had a cheerful personality, and when Lishu asked about it, there was a hint of unbearable on her face.
Li Shu originally just asked tentatively, but now seeing Dan Hong acting like this, she couldn't help but look angry: "What on earth is going on? You have to tell me that you can't hide it from me, especially about my mother."
Danhong shook her head quickly: "It has nothing to do with the first wife. It is the seventh girl of our family, the daughter born to the eldest aunt Hu. I heard that she was selected to be Liangdi in the East Palace."
"Really? Is it because she doesn't want to or something?" Li Shu knew that her uncle had never been able to have children before, and later gave birth to two daughters and two sons in succession, but they were ten years younger than Li Shu. They are not of the same age, so naturally they have a normal relationship.
The sixth girl and the seventh girl were both born as concubines. One of the two sisters was born to Aunt Hu and the other to Aunt Zhou. They were both very beautiful. However, after a few years, what have become of these two people and why are they unwilling.
Only Dan Hong said: "Logically speaking, the sixth girl is the elder sister, and the seventh girl is the younger sister. Aunt Hu is also more favored than Aunt Zhou, but the sixth girl actually has a very good temperament. Unlike her aunt, she is also dignified and dignified. Everyone likes the sixth girl. Unexpectedly, it was the seventh girl who was chosen by the East Palace. Although she was only thirteen years old, the prince was very interested in her. As you know, although the prince married the daughter of an important minister as his stepmother, our Liu family It’s not bad. If that day comes, there’s no telling who will be the queen.”
Li Shu didn't pay much attention to the sisters in Dafang. Now when she heard what Dan Hong said, she said: "You are angry because you think the sixth girl is better, but it turns out that the seventh girl entered the palace, but because the seventh girl gave birth to a more beautiful girl, beautiful?"
"Yes, the seventh girl has an unstable temperament. She is young and is arrogant. She often doesn't know why. Everyone says that the temperament of these two girls is very different from that of their aunt. Now the sixth girl is neglecting the family, and the seventh girl will become the emperor in the future. She is a concubine, and the sisters are as different as each other. The seventh girl is not very good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she does not speak well to the elders. Everyone says that she is lucky." Dan Hong is also the sixth one. The girl complained.
Unexpectedly, the era of myself and my sisters has passed, and the new generation of sisters will be like this. The servants will judge the sisters based on their likes and dislikes. The Liu family only took the sixth girl out at the beginning, just because the sixth girl was stable and the seventh girl Being a frivolous person, survival in the palace depends on walking on thin ice and being cautious. How powerful Princess Longchang was back then, and how powerful Li Shouying, the head of Jinxian County, was playing tricks. Where are they now?
Even the head of Jintan County, who is now implicated, has been accompanying Zeng Yunfang as the county magistrate in a very remote place. Mrs. Zeng San only had this one direct relative on her knees. Her natal Song family was in danger of being destroyed. Her husband died, and now she is relying on her concubine. Live life.
One wrong move, and everything goes wrong.
"When I get home in two days, I'll go see them too," Li Shu said.
Dan Hong said with a smile: "Actually, our first wife is afraid that the seventh girl will harm the Liu family. Originally, with the status of our Liu family, there was no need to send our daughter to the palace. Yes, our first wife originally liked the seventh girl very much. , because her appearance is somewhat similar to yours, how could she know that her temperament would make a wife insensitive."
Li Shu touched her face, shook her head, and went home in two days to take a look. :,,
