When it comes to Li Shu going to the palace to teach piano, the happiest person is Shu Geer. Even in front of so many people, he is still around Li Shu, "Mother, can we go to the palace together? My son will be in the palace in the future. Can I also see my mother?"
"I've only been to the palace three times in ten years, and the professor's schedule is uncertain, so naturally I can't see me every day. However, my mother will personally teach you how to play the piano, and will also see if you study well in the palace." Li Shu hugged Brother Shu and was also very happy.
Looking up again, she saw Brother Qi again. Ever since he went to the academy, this child had behaved like a young adult. He didn't have the energy to be naughty and mischievous as a child. Lishu saw that his eyes were yearning for her younger brother, but she showed disdain. Look, don't be awkward. This look made Li Shu feel a little stinging.
With two sons, it is easy for a bowl of water to be uneven.
Just like the Zheng family, if Zheng Qing wasn't just in poor health, Zheng Hao might not be upset because Mrs. Zheng had shown such care to Zheng Qing all year round.
"Brother Qi, come here to talk. Why are you so scared?" Li Shu waved to him.
Brother Qi slowly came over. Lishu took his hand and asked about his recent situation. Brother Shu also joined in the fun. Lishu was relieved to see Brother Qi become lively.
Not far away, Mr. Fu saw this situation and couldn't help but glance at his two sons Shurui and Shulin. She doesn't have this kind of trouble, because among the three children, her daughter is the one she loves most.
Shurui is getting married and will take the imperial examination next year, so he is already an adult.
He is different from Li Shu. His temperament is very similar to that of Mr. Fu. He is silent and gentle, but has a lot of troubles in his chest. Unlike Li Shu and Liu Chengxu, they look like tigers and their methods are all on the surface.
Shu Rui and Zheng Miao can talk together very well. They are both descendants of aristocratic families and have quite similar temperaments.
Talking about her sister, Shu Rui also smiled and said: "My sister has been as good as men in poetry, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. Now, thanks to God's grace, she can enter the palace to teach the eldest son of the emperor. It is really something that I dare not even think about. As the saying goes, those who have ambitions Things work out, the world often says that women should obey the three virtues and the four virtues, and it is virtue for women not to have talent, but I say that women should study more."
Zheng Miao said with a smile: "That's right, my aunt has also set up a women's clan school in our clan. All the girls in our clan can study, and the Zheng family girls are now famous far and wide."
"Marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations, but marrying a virtuous wife will last three generations." Shu Rui sighed with emotion.
The sound of "babble" on the stage became smaller and smaller, almost non-existent. Li Shu also asked people to prepare fine wine, delicacies, and fresh fruits, which were specially set up in a pavilion. The men chatted and the women also talked. .
Li Shu is very generous. When she first got married, her dowry was not as generous as Li Zhen's. Now after several years of taking care of it, she has become more and more handy and has taken charge of the family business. She is not extravagant on weekdays, but she is not stingy.
She was the only female member of the Zheng family, and she couldn't wear all the fashionable jewelry, silk flowers, and clothes. Naturally, she brought out some brand-new ones to give away. She also said: "This is a colleague of our uncle who is an official in Yangzhou Mansion. Come to our house to give them to others." I brought a lot of Pu silk here. It is said that these became famous during the Chunxi period of the Southern Song Dynasty. I think these colors are very beautiful. I can’t wear them all myself, so I will share some with you."
Now that Lirou has been trained, she is no longer the same. Seeing Lishu's sincerity, she smiled and said, "Then I want two blue ones. I like to wear blue."
"Okay, the fourth sister is the most beautiful girl in our family. This light blue color
, it makes people very quiet. If there is another layer of gauze on the outside, it would be so beautiful. "Lishu touched her palms.
Lirou's family was actually not short of money. The Wu family was very wealthy back then, and they were not lenient when they divided the family and gave it to their younger son. Mrs. Wu also gave them a lot of her private house, but the sisters just wanted to have fun together.
Li Zhen originally didn't want to lower her status, but when she heard Li Shu praise Li Rou, she quickly grabbed two red horses: "I like these two red horses."
Everyone else gave way to Li Zhen, but Li Shu never gave way to her. She just said with a half-smile, "That's fine."
Liwan and Lirou on the side covered their mouths and laughed. This was also a rare time of harmony between sisters.
After dinner, it was already dark. She personally sent her relatives home, but she was extremely tired.
She will enter the palace tomorrow and everything will go well, Li Shu said in her heart.
The palace had already been prepared. When Li Shu entered the palace, she first went to see Concubine Liu Shu. Although Concubine Liu Shu was a little out of tune, not to mention that she was a little afraid of Li Shu, but finally an acquaintance came into the palace to talk, and Concubine Liu Shu could finally feel more relaxed.
"Third sister, last time we were at the Empress, we didn't have a good conversation."
"Yes, thanks to the grace of the Emperor, I have come to the palace to teach the eldest prince how to play the piano. I am really grateful that you and I can meet each other. How is your health? It has been very cold in winter recently. You must take care of yourself." Li Shu said.
Concubine Liu Shu felt warm in her heart and said quickly: "Now that I am a concubine, my life is going quite well. Third sister, don't worry."
Li Shu said: "Everyone in the family is thinking about your Majesty! I just happened to have brought some gifts to give to your Majesty, and I hope your Majesty will accept them."
Li Shu was very polite in terms of etiquette, and she also knew that Liu Shu Fei was young and liked bright clothes, but she couldn't wear them during the mourning period, and Li Shu couldn't send cloth to those who came in, so she prepared a few beautiful clothes. The thing is a pair of melon-shaped orange-red glass lamps, the color is warm and very cute, and there is also a pair of small plum-red gold lantern cages.
There is also a set of water floats. The so-called water floats are made of yellow wax and placed in the water to play with swallows, mandarin ducks and turtles.
Sure enough, Concubine Liu Shu was very happy with everything. When she was in her boudoir, she was extremely lonely. People would pick on her if she couldn't do needlework or study well every day. She followed Aunt Zhou and didn't dare to say anything. Sometimes She was also controlled by the wet nurses, and no one cared about what she was doing.
"They are all folk gadgets. I thought you could play with them in your free time in the palace, but they are just a little vulgar."
Concubine Liu Shu shook her head: "Third sister, I like these very much. When you enter the palace in the future, don't bring those expensive things with you. They are just decorations here, not as interesting as these."
Li Shu looked at her with a hint of sympathy. The huge palace was magnificent, but it was like a golden cage, and the people inside could only be trapped here forever.
In any case, after sighing, Li Shu felt relieved when she saw that Liu Shufei liked the gadgets she gave her.
As a gift, Concubine Liu Shu sent the chief eunuch of her palace to take Lishu to the study. The emperor showed his respect for his master and was here with the eldest prince. When he saw Concubine Liu's chief eunuch bringing Lishu over, he was very confused. When did Concubine Shu become so understanding of the world? !
