While Zhu Ping'an was listening to the naughty child showing off his fat face and saying that the turtle is thin, the second lady's boudoir in the backyard of the Hou Mansion was full of orioles and colorful flowers. Li Shu and several young ladies from the Hou Mansion who had not yet left the cabinet were inviting the old lady.
After the rest, we got together and talked about some topics about our daughter's home.
Most of the topics were about how prominent their chosen husband's family was, how high an official his father was in the court, and how much power he held. Then they talked overtly and covertly about how Li Shu's husband was just a mere
They were from a farmer's family and had no power. They finally got a bad number in the civil examination. At the end, they pretended to comfort Li Shu and said that Zhu Ping'an was unlucky and got a bad number this time. Maybe next time
If there is a chance, it doesn't matter even if they don't pass the exam. They also said that their husbands and sons-in-law will be asked to help with activities and help Zhu Ping'an fill the gap.
Anyway, the main goal is to compare with my future husband and then find some sense of accomplishment from Li Shu.
Li Shu was very disdainful of the behavior of her sisters. Her daughter's family married her husband, not her husband's father. What's the use of her future husband? Does it mean that your future happiness will depend on your husband?
Give it! Talk about your future married life, don’t talk about your own husband, what are you doing around your future husband-in-law!
Li Shu's disdain, in the eyes of the other sisters, was that she was compared with them, and she felt disappointed.
So they chatted more happily.
Then they talked about the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Hou family, their eldest sister. ↖The eldest daughter of the Hou family is the apple of the eye of the second master’s family. She just got married last year to the eldest son of the founding father. She looked envious, and then expressed regret.
He comforted Li Shu with his words.
As we continued chatting, we started talking about rouge, gouache, and hair soap. These were the topics in the girl’s boudoir, including makeup, beauty, clothes and accessories, as well as fantasies about a better life in the future, and maybe some gossip. The door.
They don't go out much, so they don't have much to talk about.
How is your marriage? Family status is important, but the most important person is the person. If you don’t understand your husband, how can you expect a happy marriage in the future? What a bunch of wretches. It doesn’t matter how beautiful your hair is after washing your hair with soap locust. Don’t think that you can just be a couple.
Like glue, if your husband is not good, you will only be entangled in him.
Have you never heard of the legend from ancient times? Lin Jun, the leader of the Ba people, led his fleet to the west of the Qingjiang River and fell in love with the beautiful goddess of salt water in the salt pond. Lin Jun gave a lock of his hair to the goddess and said: "Tie her.
.I want to live and die with you." But Lin Jun was unwilling to stop his march to the west. The goddess reluctantly turned into a flying insect and blocked his way to save him. Lin Jun shot him to death with an arrow on the Yangshi.
Goddess, the hair he gave her was still wrapped around her neck when she died...
You don't know if your husband-in-law will be Lin Jun in the future, but I know that that stinky toad will definitely not be.
The concubine is wearing her hair for the first time, and there is a show in front of the door. The man rides a bamboo horse and goes around the bed to make green plums. After so many years of bamboo horses and green plums, I know that smelly toad very well.
Li Shu looked at her sisters with disdain.
After coming out of Miss Hou Fuer's boudoir, Li Shu told the little maid Baozi who was accompanying her to pack a few red envelopes and send a message to the inn where Zhu Ping'an stayed and tell the shopkeeper.
There are also innkeepers. If anyone goes to the inn to find Zhu Ping'an, ask them to come to the Marquis Mansion, including announcing the good news.
The Marquis Mansion also needs happy events, doesn't it?
Li Shu curled her lips. Surrounded by the old lady and the little maid, she returned to the courtyard where she lived. She lay lazily on the embroidered bed. She took out a volume of books that she had casually placed under her pillow last night and looked at the book.
The font left by the smelly toad was on the screen. The corner of his mouth was curved.
"Okay, I'm tired and need to take a rest. You all can go down."
Li Shu put down the book, glanced around the maids waiting in the room, and waved her hands with a tired look on her face.
"Yes, miss."
The maid and the old woman who were waiting in the room all responded. The little maid who left at the end even closed the door thoughtfully to prevent any noise from outside from disturbing the young lady's rest.
After Li Shu heard the footsteps outside, she put on a fox fur cloak, opened the silk quilt, and got out of bed with a book in hand.
When she came to the desk, Li Shu placed the volume with the word "stinky toad" on it, and then spread a piece of pink paper on it. She took a brush with her delicate hand and dipped the tip in the ink.
, looked at the handwriting on the book for a moment, and then put pen to paper.
"Li Shu, my heart is full of joy for you, but I only wish that: I can have a broad agreement between life and death, and I can talk to you; I can hold your hand and grow old together with you."
The signature is "Xiahe Zhu Ping'an".
If Li Shu wasn't holding a brush, but if you look at the font, the words on this pink paper are exactly the same as the fonts in the book Li Shu put on the desk. It really looks like it was written by Zhu Pingan.
After Li Shu finished writing, when the ink was slightly dry, she clamped the pink paper in the book like a thief. Then, holding the book in her slender hand, she walked quickly on tiptoes to the embroidery bed and placed the book under the pillow.
He lay half-lying on the embroidery bed again.
a few seconds later
Still in this room
On the embroidered couch, a beautiful lady was lying half-way. A wild goose hairpin with gold dots and emerald inlaid with pearls was stuck on her temples. The half-undressed cloud servant girl was flying lazily like a crow's wings, as if she had just woken up, slender and delicate.
Jade Hand took out a volume from under the pillow and opened it gently.
Then, a piece of pink paper accidentally fell inside.
Yuren'er's little mouth frowned slightly, as if she was a little surprised when she saw this kind of pink paper for the first time. She picked up the pink paper, opened it, and read the contents inside: Li Shu, I am pleased with you.
, I only wish: I have a broad agreement between life and death, and I can talk to my son; I can hold my hand and grow old together with my son. I can go down to the river safely.
"OK."
The beauty's starry eyes were flowing, her smile was as bright as a flower, and she was full of charm. Her lips were slightly opened and she spoke two words briskly.
Then a person held an embroidered pillow and had fun for a long time.
"Stinky toad, I'm going to stew you and eat you."
After a long time, the beauty muttered something and reluctantly threw the pink paper into the brazier on the side.
Not long after Yurener burned the pink paper, there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside.
"Miss, I'm back."
The next second, the voice of the little maid Baozi sounded at the door, and then the voice of the little maid blocking the door, as if telling the little maid Baozi that the lady was sleeping, etc. Soon the voice of the little maid Baozi sounded regretful,
I regret that I was so loud just now. It would be bad if it disturbed the young lady's rest.
"Come in."
The beauty in the room looked at the pink paper in the brazier that had turned to ashes, then she opened her red lips and called out to the door. (To be continued...)
