Mr. Liu rarely thinks about things in his youth. The reason why he has been in the capital for many years is because of the Liu family's descendants. Unexpectedly, he was asked this question by his granddaughter. His granddaughter had no one to cultivate her political talents. Otherwise, if she were really a man, he would probably be no worse than her father.
But the girl is too bold, which may not be a good thing, as now she dares to ask anything.
"You kid don't dare to ask anything."
Li Shu smiled and said: "I'm just asking casually. Speaking of which, I envy you and my grandmother. It's not easy for a husband and wife to stay together until old age. If Zheng Hao and I can continue as before, I don't know how happy I would be."
People of Mr. Liu's age rarely talk about love, and are even ashamed to mention it. But when his granddaughter mentioned it like this, he also thought of the scene when he met A Zeng in the early years. She was lively and bright. Just standing in front of him so cutely, saying that he was like an ice cube.
Indeed, his wife likes to be lively, and he likes to be quiet.
The two of them were actually unrelated, but it was this person who entered his heart.
He couldn't study at that time and only took military positions, but she never disliked him. Sometimes when he came home smelly and sweaty, she would prepare a bowl of secretly fragrant soup for him.
In a blink of an eye, it has been so many years.
Seeing that Mrs. Liu was deep in thought, Li Shu couldn't stay here any longer. When she came out, Li Shu went to talk to Zeng Yingxiu. Now that the second brother and the second sister-in-law are away, my mother has followed my father to Zhili. Originally, my mother had not planned to go, but Zhili is close and can be returned in one day, so she followed my father to take up the post.
Zeng Yingxiu is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she is currently the housekeeper of the family. Therefore, people come and go in her place. But when Li Shu came over, he specially ordered his servants to open a small tea room for the two of them to chat.
Li Shu smiled and said: "You are so busy, so I will go back first and not disturb you. Anyway, when can we talk?"
"It's nothing big. It's just trivial matters at home. I really want to find someone to talk to me. In the past, when the second younger brother and sister were here, we could talk a few words about home. But now that the second younger brother and sister haven't come in, I can't even talk to each other. Everyone is gone." Zeng Yingxiu said.
Seeing how pitiful Zeng Yingxiu said, Li Shu sat down and chatted with her. Zeng Yingxiu didn't say that her family was poor, but just asked her: "I heard that Commander Luan's wife is particularly good-looking, right? It's a pity that I don't have time, so she didn't Go. Tell me, does it look good? How does it compare to you?"
This Zeng Yingxiu still looks like a gossip. Li Shu pointed at her face and said: "I am already in my twenties, and Mrs. Luan looks only sixteen or seventeen years old. How can I compare to her? You and I Born into such a family, it is very clear that appearance is just the icing on the cake, and it still depends on the woman's family background. And this Mrs. Luan can make such a young talent like Commander Luan desperately seek marriage, which shows that she is definitely much more attractive than me. "
Zeng Yingxiu covered her mouth and laughed: "I don't believe this. Even if you were born into a noble family, if you were born into a poor family, you can still change your family with your intelligence and beauty. In my life, I have never seen a more beautiful woman than you."
"Thank you for praising me so much." Li Shu shook her head as she listened.
When she returned to Zheng's house, Zheng Hao happened to be at home, and Li Shu said, "I didn't expect everyone to be so curious about Mrs. Luan. Does it mean that a good-looking person would attract attention?"
Zheng Hao shook his head: "I never pay attention to other women, so I don't know about this problem."
Even if Lishu knew what he was telling lies, she felt that it was a bit exaggerated: what people asked you () was completely different from what you answered. I mean, do good-looking people attract attention? "
Zheng Hao knew the answer well, especially to Li Shu. He looked at her: "It will be like this, but it doesn't matter if I don't glance too much. You are the only one who can attract me anytime and anywhere, especially when I see your At first glance, I thought this little girl’s hair was really well-grown and she looked ice-cold and smart.”
For someone like Li Shu, if you only praise her for her beauty, that would be too superficial. What she loves more is intelligence.
Sure enough, when Lishu heard this, she felt funny and said: "Actually, when I knew that Mrs. Luan had no financial background, I was thinking that if I were not Liu Chengxu's daughter, we might never see each other again in our lives. .”
In fact, Li Shu still envies the kind of pure emotion, without any interests mixed in, she just likes it if she likes it.
Just like she couldn't win over Princess Funing in her previous life, even this marriage was arranged by her mother for her. If she had let nature take its course, she might never be with Zheng Hao in her whole life.
Therefore, without the blessing of her family background for her appearance and all her abilities, she might not be able to meet the True Dragon Emperor.
Even though Lishu is often careless, she is familiar with poetry and books and has a very sensitive and delicate mind.
When faced with such a problem, Zheng Hao was very honest: "At first, my father thought that you were the daughter of uncle Liu's family, so we had this marriage. Just because it is you, I like you, so I always want to be good to you."
"That's because you are a nice person. If she were another lady, you would treat her the same way." Lishu didn't know why she said this, but she wanted to say it. She hopes that there is someone who is good to her alone, not to everyone. Alas, it is difficult for everyone to relax when they encounter love.
Zheng Hao couldn't help but look at Li Shu and seemed to realize something: "Li Shu, I only have feelings for you. This feeling cannot be deceived. I am interested in you not because you are Uncle Liu's daughter, but because It's you. Otherwise, if I had married someone else, no matter how high-status or beautiful that person was, he would never be where he is today. You should know that I am only abnormal when it comes to you."
Who would listen to the little girl's advice as soon as they meet her and go to a temple to study for two years?
Li Shu suddenly stopped worrying. Even if Zheng Hao in his previous life met her for the first time, he would have tried his best to help her. Otherwise, she would not have caught Yu Maozhong so quickly.
"Okay, it's all my own random thoughts. Sometimes I always have random thoughts and disturb you from your business." Li Shu held her chin up and apologized to Zheng Hao.
Zheng Hao said without hesitation: "No matter how busy I am, I will still accompany you to have fun. This is what I should do."
Li Shu really felt full of security, but she was soon slapped in the face.
Because Zheng Hao was busy until late at night, she was waiting for him at the intersection with a lantern. The couple were walking on a quiet path, with not many servants following behind them. At this moment, a strong wind blew by, like a ghost whimpering.
Someone shouted "Ghost", and Zheng Hao was so frightened that he ran behind Li Shu.
Li Shu never knew that a grown man like him was so afraid of ghosts. Li Shu had always been very brave. Seeing that Zheng Hao was afraid, she calmly lit the lantern with a fire stick, and then smiled and said: "It's a cuckoo bird, not something else." ghost."
Zheng Hao also breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little embarrassed.
(): "I was often sick when I was young. I couldn't sleep well when I was sick. I always felt like there was a little ghost pulling my legs, so I was always afraid and didn't dare to be alone."
It turned out that Li Shu felt very sorry for Zheng Hao and took his hand back to the room together.
Zheng Hao, who was being pulled by her, smiled in the darkness. He knew Li Shu very well. She was very maternal. She was more willing to take care of others than let others take care of her. Only when others relied on her did she feel safe.
During the day, she was still thinking, "If my family had no power, Zheng Hao would definitely not do anything to me." At night, Li Shu saw Zheng Hao frequently having nightmares, and she hugged him very softly, and couldn't help but think, "He He is so fragile, I want to protect him" in his thoughts.
Therefore, when Zheng Hao got up in the morning, Li Shu made cherry blossom cake for him and said very considerately: "Don't be afraid. I heard that cherries represent cleanliness. You were shocked yesterday, but today Eat some cherry blossom cakes and feel better."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zheng Hao looked very obedient.
Seeing his appearance, Li Shu thought that he still couldn't live without her, which made her feel a little more satisfied.
These days, she has another job, which is to teach Mrs. Luan to play the piano. It can be seen that she likes playing the piano, but she started too late, so she has to spend more time.
However, Li Shu was not the type to fool people casually. She had already said it first: "If you just want to appear in front of others and appear to know how to play, I will teach you a piece of music. If you really learn the real skill, you will not be able to play it." It’s hard to learn in a few years.”
Mrs. Luan, however, had a stubborn temper. She said she wanted to learn her true skills, so Li Shu naturally taught her. From reading music to fingering, it took her a while to learn. She was really meticulous.
Even after returning home, she kept practicing.
Commander Luan came back from the court and saw that she was still in the piano room, so he couldn't help but go in: "Don't you take a rest?"
"This is what Grandma Zheng asked me to practice like this. She said that when she was a child, she spent at least half of her time practicing the piano every day, never stopping. You don't know, every time I hear her playing the piano, I feel like It feels like I'm in a fairyland. And I like her outspokenness the most. When I don't play well, she says I'm like sawing wood, unlike those people who always flatter me against my will." Mrs. Luan liked Li Shu very much.
Commander Luan smiled and said: "Of course she dares to speak out. She is the legitimate daughter of a prominent family from the Liu family in Jinghu. Her father once served as the governor of the river and is now the governor of Zhili. Her husband is the minister of the Ministry of Personnel and is also from the Zheng family in Xingyang. Her grandfather and uncle both served as commanders of the Royal Guards at the same time. They have a distinguished family background and are naturally not as timid as others. Others are afraid of my power, but she is not afraid."
Mrs. Luan was well protected by Commander Luan and rarely went out to socialize. She did not mince words, so she only knew that Li Shu was an official wife, but she did not expect her background to be so big.
She only knew that Grandma Zheng was quite powerful. She heard that her husband was afraid of ghosts, so she bought a Bagua mirror and a mahogany sword in the house. Thinking of this, Mrs. Luan smiled and said, "You don't know that Zheng Shaozai (the honorific title of the Minister of Civil Affairs) is very powerful." Afraid of ghosts and the dark, Grandma Zheng protects him every day. She is truly a hero among women."
Commander Luan was confused. He himself almost monitored the intelligence of the whole country. He had never heard of Zheng Hao being so "weak". This man was in his twenties and was a very popular minister. The city was extremely deep and scheming. The palace was haunted last time. He was the first to come out and scold him. He was so majestic and even praised by the emperor.
Could it be that those are all just pretending? !
