Two days later, Li Shu took her sons back to her parents' home. As for Zheng Hao, she came to Liu's house in the evening. Li Shu knew about his hard work. In the past two days, the couple came back to visit the homes of his mentor, peers and even many classmates. Once again, there are even many unavoidable favors.
For men, official position seems to be more important than anything else.
The carriage was still walking towards the familiar streets. Lishu always felt that things in the world had changed a lot. In the past, she regarded the Liu family as her family, but even a few years before marrying into the Zheng family, she never regarded herself as a Zheng family. Now the word "hui" has made it clear. everything.
Today's Liu family is more decorated with flowers and brocade than before. Even when Li Shu arrived at the door of Liu's family, the carriages and horses were already lined up around the corner.
Danqing came out specially to pick her up, so Lishu could get in as quickly as possible. Lishu and Danqing laughed and said, "It's really getting more lively."
Danqing asked someone to take the gift box from Lishu, and then said to Lishu: "Yes, even us old ladies and ladies can't finish the banquet. Today, the first aunt and the fifth aunt are back. The old ladies are very happy." I am so happy to be waiting for you at home."
Over the past three years, Mrs. Liu's hair has gained a lot of hoarfrost, and she has become old-looking. Lishu always thought that her grandmother was still the same as before, but the reality is that time can change the appearance. Will one day she will What about the chicken skin and gray hair?
While she was daydreaming, Li Shu had already bowed her head and said, "Grandma."
Mrs. Liu was very happy: "Three girls, get up quickly. I heard your mother said that she met you. Your sisters haven't arrived yet, so you can talk to me."
"Okay, how is grandma's health? How is the family? When I was in Xingyang, I always felt boring and tight, but the days went by so fast. I always thought about grandma, mother and family." Li Shu spoke very affectionately.
Mrs. Liu was startled again when she heard Li Shu's soft and sweet words. She didn't know what she thought of.
At this moment, Xiao Fu and Liwan came over. Lishu stood up and saluted again. Liwan was very affectionate. Lishu looked at her and saw that she had gained a little weight. She must have been living smoothly. I don’t know why. She thought of Aunt Yan, that woman with snow-skinned beauty, and the fight in the back house was so cruel.
Liwan asked about Brother Qi, and Lishu smiled and said: "When I came in just now, I asked Danqing to take him to their uncle. Yes, I heard that my sister delivered a son and a daughter. It's been such a long journey, and I forgot to congratulate them." Sister."
Liwan was undoubtedly the happiest at this time. She had Buddhist beads wrapped around her wrist, and she said she had asked for the child from an eminent monk. She also said that the child was the result of good deeds and good deeds, and she wanted to introduce the eminent monk to Lishu.
Mrs. Liu pointed at Liwan and Lishu and said, "This first sister of yours is now more pious than me in praying for Buddha. She even donated three thousand taels to Gan Nian Temple. The old monks in those temples looked at her as being more pious than anyone else." Hot."
Li Shu also didn't expect that Liwan would actually believe in Buddhism now. She remembered that Liwan didn't believe in it before.
Liwan said: "What a warm relationship, it's just because of my money." She has never believed in Buddhism, but after giving birth to children in these years, her mood has changed. She is least afraid of the underworld's retribution, and most afraid of the consequences of her children. retribution.
The Buddhists say that one can lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. Now, it is enough for her to guard a pair of children.
Everyone laughed so much when they heard what Liwan said was so funny.
Little Mrs. Fu was also laughing, but she was a little unhappy. Lishu noticed it and planned to ask her mother about it later. There were too many people now, so it was not convenient to talk about this.
Li Zhen came with Mrs. Xu, followed by two girls. Li Zhen was dressed in red makeup, dark flowers, gold brocade and brocade trousers, but she didn't have the arrogance she had before, and she walked calmly.
After a closer look, there were two cardamom girls behind them. One was elegant and beautiful, and the other Li Shu looked at her in a daze. Her figure was slender and graceful, very slim, with almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, especially her side face seemed like her own. It's the same when looking in the mirror, but it's different when you get closer and look at it from the front.
"Auntie, fifth sister, sixth sister, seventh sister." Li Shu stood up and said.
Mrs. Xu is also getting older. She was a little surprised to see Li Shu: "The third girl is back."
Li Zhen was not as arrogant and full of resentment as in previous years. Instead, she smiled lightly and shouted: "Third Sister." She didn't look angry at all.
Li Shu felt surprised. Could people have changed so much?
They all sat down separately. Little Fu asked about Zheng Hao's errand. Li Shu shook her head: "I just came back, so I don't know. Anyway, he said he has his own business and doesn't need me to worry about it. Let's pray that brother will ask for a job." Teacher, my uncle used to teach me personally, but now I don’t know who to invite.”
Little Fu said: "Your father said that Mr. Zheng is a bachelor and a hard-working person, so there is no need to worry."
"I know." Lishu knew that Zheng Hao was different outside and at home. Outside, he was considered a learned scholar and a good official, so he was not an ordinary person.
Originally, one year of filial piety was enough, but Zheng Hao insisted on three years. Of course, Li Shu knew that this was not just Zheng Hao's pure filial piety, but probably a change in the court or officialdom, but it was hard for her to ask.
Just like when she manages her family, she may have some secretive methods, but Zheng Hao may not always know about them.
The closest couple!
"The third brother-in-law comes from a well-known family, has many official connections, is highly valued by the emperor, and is very filial. Who in Beijing would not praise the Zheng family in Xingyang for his three years of mourning for his grandmother."
Li Shu was very surprised. These words came from Li Zhen's mouth. It really made people feel as if she had been transformed. However, Li Shu didn't show anything on her face and just said a few words.
"Third girl, if you have time, I should teach your seventh sister Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. You are a well-known talent in Beijing. Your piano skills and your calligraphy are praised by countless people to this day. The Buddhist scriptures you copied for me have been praised by countless people. People need to use it to see. Now Qi Niang's decree will be issued soon. You are her sister, so you have to teach her." Mrs. Liu looked at Qi Niang, always feeling a little dissatisfied.
Not to mention that Mrs. Liu thought so, even Mrs. Xu thought so too. She took a look at Lishu first and knew that she was already fifteen years old and had given birth to two children, but she still had a slim waist, eyes like autumn water, and a face Like a peach blossom, no one can ignore her no matter where she sits.
In addition to her outstanding appearance, her demeanor is even more extraordinary. Many people are afraid of her in front of her. She seems to be a natural superior.
If it weren't for her age, Mrs. Xu would bet that the person sent to the palace must be Li Shu, and even the new crown princess could do it. However, in this case, the daughter will have to look at other people's faces for the rest of her life, and she may be depressed to death.
Lishu saw Mrs. Xu looking at her with burning eyes. She didn't know why, so she replied to Mrs. Liu: "If the seventh sister is willing, I will naturally tell you everything I know and give you all my money to teach."
After all, Li Shu also knew that although Dong Gong was frail, he had six wives and concubines who were apparently of high quality. Without skill, beauty would not be possible for a long time.
Everyone asked the seventh girl to sit down next to Lishu, and they all started chatting with each other. The corner of Lishu's clothes was pulled. She looked over and saw that it was the seventh girl. She asked her what was going on with her eyes.
The seventh girl had a hint of defiance in her eyes: "Third sister, all of them said that I am not worthy of entering the palace, but no matter whether I am worthy or not, I am the one who entered the palace after all. I have heard since I was a child, third sister, that you are different from ordinary people. Do you think I Is it worthy?”
Li Shu smiled when she heard this: "Didn't you say you don't care about other people's opinions? If that's the case, why should you care about what I say."
The seventh girl felt that she was already the crown prince's concubine, and would be the concubine in the future. She was superior to all the concubines outside the family. Everyone in the family treated her with respect. Unexpectedly, the third sister was so courageous, behaved freely, and looked above her head. She suddenly felt a little... Scared. She can't even frighten her family members. If she goes to the crown prince's womb in the future, there will be people like the third sister, and she won't be able to resist them at all.
In such a hurry, the seventh girl shed tears, which made Li Shu feel confused. :,,
