When news of Mr. Zhu's dismissal reached the capital, Zhu Lingxuan had already given birth and was dyeing silk threads with Li Shu. Dyeing silk thread is a labor-intensive job. To dye yellow locust flowers, you have to boil, dip-dye, rinse and finally turn into cloth. Lishu is also very patient and dyes one color every day very carefully.
Li Shu asked people to dry out her silk threads, and she also used mung bean noodles to clean her hands. Zhu Lingxuan also laughed and joked with Li Shu. Unfortunately, he was stunned for a long time after hearing the news.
"Brother Miao, daughter-in-law, are you okay?" Li Shu asked her calmly.
Zhu Lingxuan forced out a smile: "It's okay."
Li Shu nodded and hoped that she could think clearly. As a woman from the Liu family, it was not easy for her to express goodwill to Zhu Lingxuan.
Zhu Lingxuan didn't dare to say anything, and she didn't dare to go to Mrs. Liu for fear that things would become more complicated. In the Zheng family, although her natal family was in ruins, Zheng Miao was indeed a gentleman. He did not look down upon her at all, nor did he neglect her at all. Instead, he said to her: "In the early years, my parents-in-law did not mind that my parents were both dead and gave you a large dowry." , Now that my parents-in-law are in trouble, I can’t just stand by and watch.”
"I know, but how can you help?" Zhu Lingxuan knew that Zheng Miao was also a human being, but it was great to get his verbal comfort.
Of course, Zheng Miao had also heard about the grievances between the Liu family and the Zhu family. Of course, he would not foolishly ask Zheng Hao to intercede. His face was not that big yet.
So, he said: "You and your aunt have always had a good relationship. I heard that my aunt is also the apple of their eye at home. The elders like her very much. Why don't you try interceding with her?"
Zhu Lingxuan shook his head without thinking: "Guess who told the Liu family about my grandmother? Wasn't it her?"
Zheng Miao was stunned. He lived in the Zheng family, and of course he knew that Li Shu was very kind to them. She was very strict in running the house and was known as a fair person in the family. However, she did not speak harshly and harshly on weekdays, but was very gentle.
I didn't expect that she was the one who said this, but thinking about it, it was no exception. She was the daughter of the Liu family in Jinghu. If she didn't help the Liu family, could it be that she only wanted to care about his face? He didn't have that much face!
The couple can only stay silent and pretend not to know about this matter. This is the way for a big family to survive.
Li Shu was relieved to see Zhu Lingxuan recover, but she did not alienate her.
But later, I heard a letter from the Zhu family, saying that Zhu Lingxuan actually fell ill, and his illness was still unclear.
Lishu sent someone over to visit the patient, and the person who came back said: "I saw a circle of bubbles around Grandma Miao Liu's mouth. She looks anxious, but she doesn't know what she is anxious about."
Zhulan was afraid that Lishu would go to visit the doctor and get over her illness, so she smiled and said: "What else can there be, it's just that the Zhu family asked her to plead for mercy, but Grandma Miaoliu is a sensible person, and she knows the pros and cons. In this case, you can Just wait until she figures it out on her own."
Li Shu nodded: "Okay."
Now that it's autumn, people often cough and have cold. Lishu doesn't go out much these days because she's afraid of getting sick.
The Zhu family is at the end of its rope, Zhu Lingxuan can't make any big waves, Zheng Miao has not yet achieved fame, and Zheng Miao is not a fool, so these have little to do with him.
She paid no attention to this matter, but when Zhu Lingxuan came to greet him again, he was completely empty, and his originally fitting clothes seemed to be a little too big.
Li Shu asked a few questions with concern,
Zhu Lingxuan also kept silent and lied that he was fine, and Li Shu would naturally not mention it casually. Otherwise, she would be in trouble if Zhu Lingxuan begged her for mercy.
Lishu is not very nosy, especially since the Zhu family has fallen and there is nothing she can do to save it. If an official is associated with a rebel, he has almost no future.
Everything is as usual, as if all the pain can go away.
Even when Li Shu heard that her mother had come home, no one mentioned it at home. Mrs. Liu also invited Shu Rui's fiancée and her family to play at home. This was also the first time Li Shu had ever seen her biological sibling.
Little Fu didn't participate in the selection of her daughter-in-law, so she was naturally a little repulsive. It was probably because Mrs. Liu only looked at family status, and the person she chose might not have the right temperament, but as a daughter-in-law, she couldn't resist.
It was Lishu who advised her, "Mom, since you've come, let's take care of you. What if your daughter is rejected by someone else's family?"
Little Fu nodded slightly.
Shurui's fiancée came from the Li family in Longxi, with a small name of Guanyin. She heard that her family worshiped Buddha, so she was named like this. She came with her mother, Mrs. Li. She has a beautiful face and looks like a lady.
Young Mrs. Fu saw that she was gracefully saluting and her face was much prettier. Lishu even said, "She looks like a good girl at first glance."
Mrs. Li had met Li Shu at many banquets in the past, but she didn't know her well. They were just acquaintances. She only knew that Zheng Shilang doted on his wife, never took concubines, and lived devotedly to his wife.
Seeing her friendly attitude now makes me feel happy for my daughter.
Li Guanyin is fourteen this year, the year of the cardamom, and looks very gentle. She also presented some colored silk threads to Li Shujin, and Li Shujin immediately gave her the bracelet she was wearing.
Li Guanyin also took the opportunity to take a look at the future aunts, and she already had some calculations in her mind. She had already heard that the third aunt's wife was her fiancé's biological sister, so she gave them the richest gifts.
Li Guanyin even met Shurui from a distance. Shuruisheng was tall, clear-faced, and extremely intelligent. When Li Guanyin first met his compatriot sister, she was already a beauty that would captivate the entire country. Now that she looks at her fiancé, she is even more... He is so handsome, his heart feels like drinking fine wine.
It's just that she has been determined to marry the most powerful man in the world since she was a child. However, because of her young age, she missed the opportunity to choose the crown princess, allowing her cousin to get the chance first.
"Miss Li." Li Shu called her.
Li Guanyin came back to her senses and shouted quickly: "Mrs. Zheng."
"The wind is blowing fast here, you'd better go inside first." Li Shu could tell that Li Guanyin was gentle on the surface, but quite ambitious on the inside. She only felt happy for a moment when she saw her brother, and then scrutinized him.
Li Guanyin nodded and went in with a smile.
This can be regarded as a meeting, and it will be good to wait until next year. Li Shu asked Xiao Fu: "Are you going to Zhili again this time?"
Little Fu shook her head: "I won't go. Your brother's marriage cannot be arranged overnight. I have to prepare it myself. It is also good to get a wife as soon as possible."
Li Shu smiled and said, "Yes."
It's a pity that Xiao Fu's words were in vain. Because of the national mourning, Emperor Yongchu, who had been in charge of Dalin for many years, finally fell asleep during his nap that day. When the imperial doctor rushed over, he was already dead. The palace announced the death of Emperor Yongchu. !
