Zhu Lian is still dreaming of becoming a high official with the support of the Minister of Civil Affairs, but Mrs. Zhu is planning to let her son resign and return to his hometown. How can Zhu Lian agree? Since ancient times, a man cannot be without power for a day.
"Mom, from now on it will be as if we don't have the Liu family, wouldn't it? We've been like this for so many years, and the Liu family hasn't done anything to us." Zhu Lian didn't think there would be anything. Anyway, now he and As long as the Zheng family has a good relationship, it will be fine. As for the Zheng family not helping, he can still use money to open the way, just like in previous years.
At most, he couldn't go any further. It was natural to be promoted from prefect to prefect, but he didn't know that the imperial court had sent someone else here.
Mrs. Zhu looked at him and said: "You have been an official for so long, don't you know how powerful Jin Yiwei is? You can guarantee that your official career will be flawless. If we don't know each other, son, you know what it means to have nothing to do." No."
If people want to retaliate against you, then they will retaliate against you. Will they still choose the day?
Zhu Lian felt that his mother was a woman after all and was making a fuss out of a molehill. In any case, the current Zhu family is related to the Chi family and the Zheng family. He has been in contact with Zheng Hao. He is like a spring breeze and is by no means a ruthless person. Therefore, he has a fluke mentality.
…
More than a month
When Lishu heard that the Zhu family was going to serve as governor of Dezhou, he sighed slightly. The Zhu family really did not believe in evil and was too greedy. Now that Mrs. Liu has warned, it is time to restrain herself, especially Mrs. Liu's brother who died young and had no descendants. However, the Zhu family has been making good marriages under the banner of the Jinghu Liu family, even this time. I still don’t believe in evil, I still run a good place, I think I have nothing to do, and I can still hide the truth.
Shaking his head, he looked at the sun again. It was already glowing like a fire.
There was the sound of footsteps outside. It turned out that Brother Shu was back, and Lishu's place became lively. Those twisting handkerchiefs, those preparing snacks, and those holding plates and cups of tea all walked among them.
"Son, I wish my mother well."
"Get up."
Li Shu hugged her son, handed him a handkerchief to wipe his hands and wash his face, and asked with a smile: "How are you today?"
Brother Shu nodded: "Today, my son is learning archery with the emperor's grandson. My son's hands are hurting."
It was said that younger sons would compete for favor, and as expected, Lishu had paid great attention to serving water to her two sons. However, the younger son grew up and became more and more coquettish, and he was very good at coquettishly coquettishly.
The eldest son is very much like her. He is afraid of all disgusting things, doesn't like to listen to other people's coquettish words, and always looks very sharp.
But Li Shu would not resent her youngest son acting coquettishly towards her. She said, "What do you think of the emperor's eldest grandson? Is he powerful?"
"It seems that the emperor's eldest grandson was frightened last time he rode on horseback. He only shot a few arrows hastily. Instead, his son shot there." Brother Shu sometimes feels that although the status of the prince and grandson is high, when it comes to civil and military talents, he is not necessarily as good as him. They are ordinary people strong.
Li Shu laughed when she heard this and said: "Silly boy, everyone in this palace is a human being. If you are good, don't show too much. If you really like archery, practice it in our garden."
"My son knows that my mother has told her son before that he must be humble in the palace. No matter how proud he is, he can only come back and tell his parents." Brother Shu smiled.
Li Shu gave a thumbs up: "That's it. I can rest assured that you can listen and don't force me. Sometimes being too pushy may not be a good thing."
If the emperor's eldest grandson really exists
In the future, that son will be the person that the future new emperor trusts most. If so, why should he steal the limelight from the emperor's eldest grandson?
The eldest son and the second son have different paths to take. The eldest son plans to take the imperial examination and become an official, so it doesn't matter if he is as sharp as himself. It would be better if the second son is more easy-going and likes to act coquettishly, but has his own concerns.
Today, the kitchen is making soft cakes with not much icing sugar, so Lishu feels free to let her children eat more.
Brother Shu loved to eat snacks at home. He was almost finishing a small plate before he asked, "Is my brother really going to go to the academy to study?"
"That's natural. Although your eldest brother is young, he started learning very early. You can't study behind closed doors. Your father also went to an academy to study. They say that going to an academy to study is a good thing. I just can't let go of your eldest brother because of my mother." Li Shu knew that most of the children in the academy were twelve or thirteen years old, and her own child was only nine years old this year.
Brother Shu heard that his mother couldn't let go of his eldest brother, so he couldn't let go either. "Mom, how about letting my brother study at home? Isn't that good? My son wants to be able to play with his brother when he comes back every day."
Li Shu held her chin: "No, your brother's study was arranged by your father, and I can't even get involved."
Originally, at Zheng Hao's age, he got married very late. Men who got married at his age were rare, and many men even had grandchildren by the age of thirty. Zheng Hao is in his thirties, and his son is only nine years old. What if he dies early and his son still fails to support the family? What should the Zheng family do?
In fact, Zheng Hao passed away at the age of forty-four in his previous life. After hearing about his death, Princess Funing became pregnant.
Lishu naturally believed that man could conquer nature, but she was afraid that fate would remain the same. After all, it was difficult to predict how long a person would live. The King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch, how can you stay alive until the fifth watch!
The mother and son had another cup of tea, and Li Shu asked someone to take Brother Shu down first, while she read the letter just sent from her hometown.
Li Shu opened her eyes wide when she first opened the letter.
Seeing that Lishu looked strange, Zhulan quickly asked: "Grandma, what's going on?"
Li Shu shook her head, she really didn't expect that Mrs. Ju Er would end up like this.
Xingyang old house
Mrs. Tan had just returned from school. This year, after her uncle was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, more female disciples came to the attached school, and she gradually became unable to teach them.
But no matter what, there are so many students who receive gifts mercilessly. Although Tan is not greedy for money, her life is extremely comfortable, but she is not pregnant yet. This matter makes her very distressed.
She and Zheng Qing used it together during dinner. Zheng Qing is now in charge of clan studies. In order to live up to Zheng Hao's trust and want to make some achievements, it can be said that Zheng Qing puts a lot of thought into clan studies.
But he knew Mr. Tan better, so he said, "I heard that Mrs. Ju Er came to see you again these days?"
"No, no." Mrs. Tan felt a little guilty. She and Mrs. Ju Er actually talked quite well, especially as they cared about Ling'er a lot and had some contacts.
Zheng Qing couldn't help but said when he saw her like this: "This person is extremely greedy. My sister-in-law didn't punish her back then, so she was already very tolerant of her."
Tan smiled and said, "Of course I know."
"It's good that you know, my mother is already very dissatisfied with her." Zheng Qing revealed something to Tan.
But Mrs. Tan was puzzled: "Why is this? There is no hatred between my mother and Mrs. Gu."
Zheng Qing was speechless: "Just wait."
even now
Zheng Qing has great confidence in Mrs. Zheng, but he doesn't know that Mrs. Zheng's health is not very good, and she is no longer able to make decisions and take action when she was young.
Because Mrs. Zheng fell ill, especially after spring, the illness came like a mountain and fell like a mountain, and the illness went away like a thread.
At this time, something suddenly happened to Mrs. Ju Er. This happened before the Zhu family went to Beijing. Mrs. Ju Er and Brother Qing had a falling out because of their interests.
One thing Brother Qing is better than Mrs. Ju Er is that he knows the current affairs. It was Mrs. Zheng who stepped in to fight with Mrs. Ju Er.
At this time, Mrs. Zheng originally came to mediate, beat Mrs. Ju's second wife, and then brought up the matter of Mrs. Ju's loan sharking. Mrs. Zheng planned to deal with it with both kindness and power.
It happened that Mrs. Zheng fell ill at this time, and no one made the decision on what Brother Qing was accusing. In the end, it caused a bigger incident. For fear of affecting Zheng Hao's career, Mr. Zheng used thunderous means to suppress it, taking Mrs. Zheng with him. His prestige was also ruined.
The servants all emphasized that when grandma was at home, no one dared to challenge her. Now that Mrs. Zheng is in charge, she is getting worse and worse.
"The matter of Mrs. Gu's loan sharking was fine, but the occupation of land caused the people to become refugees. Now that she is imprisoned in the clan, Mrs. Gu's second wife has given all the property she has accumulated over the years to the refugees." Li Shu Sighed.
Zhulan couldn't help but said: "If my wife is good, she will definitely not allow this to happen."
Li Shu shook her head: "All serious illnesses do not become serious illnesses all at once. They are all accumulated from minor illnesses into serious illnesses. Madam always wants to wait for the opportunity. Indeed, the opportunity is very important, but not every accident must wait until the opportunity. It happens. It is easy to injure the enemy by one thousand and damage yourself by eight hundred. If it is effectively contained, this kind of thing will not happen."
"Then you..."
"When I was in my hometown, my mother-in-law was very dissatisfied with me. In fact, I didn't care whether she had any dissatisfaction with me. I just told everyone in the Zheng family that only I, Liu Lishu, could manage the entire family." Lishu couldn't control her parents-in-law, but she could Let the tribesmen know clearly the purpose of her drastic measures.
After Zhu Lian was sent to Dezhou to know the state, Mr. Liu naturally refused to give up. Their family had a good relationship with Luan Zhao, the new commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Even when Luan Zhao took office, the Luan family specially invited Li Shu to visit once.
Luan Zhao had always been under his uncle. The uncle was very jealous of this person. He thought that he was only twenty-five years old, so he replaced him. It was really hard to underestimate him.
Even when Li Shu and others came over, they were just ready to click and leave.
But she didn't expect that Li Shu would actually get married to Mrs. Luan. It was also the first time that Li Shu met Mrs. Luan. She was actually a peasant girl, but she was not as sweet-tongued and good at gardening as Lin Taoer, and she was not as down-to-earth as she was. Ru Aoxue Hanmei, but under her cold appearance, Li Shu was surprised to find that she was actually not good at words.
Therefore, she maintained the communication between officials and wives and spent a few more words with her. Even when Mrs. Luan played the piano, Li Shu bluntly said that she was not good at playing.
Mrs. Luan was surprised: "Although they all talked to me, they only said flattering words. Why can't they say something like you?"
"I don't know either. I have been so outspoken since I was a child. Everyone knows it." Li Shu smiled.
Madam Luan suddenly smiled, as if the snow-capped mountains were melting: "Then I want to ask Madam for advice on piano skills, how about that?"
Li Shu nodded: "Of course."
Seeing Mrs. Luan smiling happily, Lishu told Mrs. Liu when she returned from Luan's house: "I have often heard that it is not easy for Commander Luan to make his wife smile. Now Commander Luan wants to make her grandpa and uncle smile." The two generations of commanders gave us face, and secondly, when it comes to my and Mrs. Luan’s face, we don’t care.”
Old Mrs. Liu looked at Li Shu: "If you were a man, why would my Liu family worry about not being prosperous?"
"I think it's not bad to be a woman. Grandpa, are you going to deal with the Zhu family next?" Li Shu asked.
Old Mrs. Liu nodded and glanced at Li Shu again: "Don't worry, I won't kill them. I just want them to stay at home and don't go out and make A Zeng feel uncomfortable."
Lishu glanced at Old Mrs. Liu and saw that he was drinking tea, and suddenly asked: "Grandpa, you like grandma very much, don't you?"
Even though Old Master Liu was usually serious and majestic, now he spit out a mouthful of tea. !
