After the New Year, everything from the court to the market begins a busy year.
Li Cheng added a few guards to his second brother Li Xu, Yuan Jing took enough silver, and the group headed south.
Then he was so busy that he didn't even have time to harass Lin Zhixiu.
Lin Zhixiu actually wanted to see what Boss Liu had, but when she needed that person, he didn't come! She couldn't help but feel depressed for a while.
Huang's face was healed, but she didn't leave the house, and she didn't even come to say hello to the old lady.
Mrs. Yuan, with a smile that understood everything, managed the house arrogantly.
Boss An sent a message to Lin Zhixiu, saying that Boss Liu's legs were still weak and he hadn't gone out. Huang didn't look for him. Instead, Lin Fang went to look for him several times but couldn't find him.
Lin Hui didn't go to Longtan Temple to investigate. He felt that no matter what he did, he would lose face! He got angry and made a fuss with his father, which annoyed old Mrs. Lin. He scolded the old lady shamelessly.
.
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she didn't eat for a whole day.
Lin Zhixiu has been very low-key at home recently, and she is very polite to the old lady. Occasionally, she will not provoke the old lady if she gives her a bad look.
Every few days, she would go visit her aunt and try to get on well with her in all aspects so that she could go out.
On this day, Xiyu came back and said to Lin Zhixiu, "Miss, Aunt Zhang in the fourth wife's room is going to meet her natal sister-in-law at the second gate today."
Lin Zhixiu said, "What's wrong?"
Xiyu said, "Hey, you haven't seen her. Aunt Zhang is dressed up beautifully and her face is red. I don't know what's going on."
Beifei said, "Xiyu, you're talking nonsense. Aunt Zhang, no matter how you dress up, she won't look pretty!"
Everyone laughed, and Lin Zhixiu said, "Then you two go and see what she is doing?"
So, Xiyu was responsible for attracting others' attention, while Beifei sneaked under the windows behind the two rooms and eavesdropped.
Zhang Xinghua was still waiting for her sister-in-law. After waiting for a while, her sister-in-law came.
"Why did you make me wait for so long!?" She got upset when she came up.
Sister-in-law Zhang was not angry either, "I told you last time, it's not easy for me to come here. I have to do something in the house. How can I come to see you alone!"
You did it on purpose! Zhang Xinghua was very angry, but after all, she was asking for something, so she complained in a low voice, "I want to ask you, that's all you said! How did that happen?"
Sister-in-law Zhang snorted, "How's it going... Your brother happily chatted with people for a long time, but no one found fault with him!"
It turns out that when Brother Zhang heard the news, he was frightened at first, then nervous, and in the end, he was just excited. This matter is going to happen, and the handle of this ugly sister is in his own hands. She gets the fourth room, and I
That’s half the score, right?
Ignoring his wife's splash of cold water, he took a gold hairpin and exchanged it for silver, and happily thought of a way to go.
Sister-in-law Zhang felt that her husband was going out to eat and drink in disguise.
Brother Zhang has a beautiful idea, but it is not easy to implement.
Who are you looking for? How to say it?
First of all, I searched around Zhuangzi and brushed off all the dirty, smelly, old, yellowish, and most importantly, sloppy ones... Then, there were only one or two young people who were sixteen or seventeen years old.
If you have no hair on your mouth, you won't be able to do things well.
He turned his attention back to the Lin Mansion. After some calculations, he suddenly remembered someone.
Liu Cai, that was his friend who had been peeing and making mud. The two of them had peeped at the mother-in-law taking a bath together. It was a friendship in which they knew each other's secrets!
Now I'm cooking in Lin's kitchen. My wife just passed away last year and I have two daughters.
It's not easy for him to renew his string.
If he is too low, he will not look down on him. If he is too high, he has a daughter who is older and not handsome, and no one will like him.
Brother Zhang knew that this man was very perverted, so he asked him to have a drink. After drinking enough, he started talking about past events, and the distance suddenly became closer.
Then, he plucked up the courage to talk about it.
Unexpectedly, the cook curled his lips and said, "How do you think that girl of yours looks like? Your parents don't look like that either! Is it your mother and..."
The eldest brother of the Zhang family gave him a slap in the face, "Hu Hu!"
The man chuckled, "No. With her appearance, it's not worth my risk!"
The eldest brother of the Zhang family said, "You don't even have a son. Even if you do, what can you leave him? Chashao? What else do you have? If this thing is done, your son can inherit the fourth master's legacy."
Everything is ruined. Hehe! When the time comes, you can redeem yourself and become a master! You can’t even think of this, you’re really stupid!”
These words moved Liu Cai.
He thought for a long time, "When did that happen... Well, give me one hundred taels of silver, and I can lend her the seeds. And I only care about this matter. As for how to arrange it, I don't care. Anyway, let her
You see, if something happens, she will die in my head!"
When Sister-in-law Zhang told Zhang Xinghua these words, she screamed, "What? He wants more money? One hundred taels more? What a dream! He is simply crazy! This infatuated man, this bastard..."
Sister-in-law Zhang didn't speak.
Zhang Xinghua scolded me for a long time and said, "Okay! How dare you work together to defraud me of my money?!"
Sister-in-law Zhang said, "I lied to you? Who dares to lie to such a big thing? This is your brother. I thought about it for a long time and invited him to drink twice. I almost spent a lot of money, so I gave him the accurate letter."
Son, if you don't want to... I'm still not willing! Go to Zhuangzi, here, your brother has thought of everyone who can think of it. If you don't want to, just pull him down, I'm still busy! Let's go now."
Sister-in-law Zhang left directly.
Zhang Xinghua was so angry that she also returned to the house angrily.
Beifei came back and told Lin Zhixiu. Lin Zhixiu was dumbfounded, "Is there...such a thing?"
Is she crazy?
Bei Fei's face looked disgusting, "It's talking about Liu Cai in the kitchen. I went to see this man with food. I heard that he cooks fish well, and the third master likes it very much. He is very fat and has a greasy face. He is quite old."
.”
Lin Zhixiu thought to herself, this is wrong. What is the old lady trying to do? If something like this happened to the Lin family's back house, and word got out, wouldn't the capital look down on it?
It seems that this old woman is also very crazy.
"You and Xiyu should keep an eye on this matter, and tell me if you have any news."
The next day, Mrs. Li came to the house to see Lin Zhixiu.
The two of them sat down. Lin Zhixiu looked at Old Mrs. Li with a smile, "Aunt Li looks so much younger!"
Mrs. Li is wearing a navy blue dress and jade ornaments, and her mental outlook is completely different from the past.
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Yesterday, I went to talk to your aunt, and I'll talk to you today. Aunt, I'm going to start a blind date for you, Brother Li, and I want to go to his colleague's house first to see if there's anything suitable.
"
Lin Zhixiu said, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin has just gone to the south. It will take two or three months to come back before closing the case... Aunt Li, why don't you wait any longer? Wouldn't it be better to wait until the Li family's case is cleared?"
Mrs. Li said, "Miss Zhixiu... Well, you also know a little about the Li family's affairs. We, His Highness the King, are capable and the Emperor is wise. It will be a matter of time for the Li family to settle the case. I was thinking about the marriage and the Li family's affairs."
Let’s talk about the cases separately.”
Lin Zhixiu said, "Auntie, what Zhixiu means is that if the case of the Li family is clear, and the title promised by the emperor is returned to the family property, then Brother Li Feng, even a noble lady, will be worthy of it! But now, he is a military attache, and his position is
Not high, the Li family doesn't even have a decent place to live! This marriage...isn't easy to talk about!"
Mrs. Li said, "I understand what Miss Zhixiu means. However, this is what I think: Well, my aunt is an illiterate peasant woman. When Li Feng was young, she would beg with me on the street. If it hadn't been for your parents."
Save, if he hadn’t made contributions in the war, he wouldn’t be an ordinary citizen. We are all ladies... I really don’t dare to think about it! I just want to find someone... who is honest and responsible."
Lin Zhixiu didn't like hearing it anymore, "Aunt Li, your conditions are too low! If Brother Li Feng has a title, then in the future, his wife will be Madam Hou, and she will socialize with noble ladies in the capital and enter the palace.
!You can’t do your job honestly!”
Mrs. Li said, "Even if he has a title, we know how good he is. How can others take notice of him? That's how things are in the world, and we don't complain. But we can't climb high, otherwise we will become enemies in the future."
Lin Zhixiu looked at it, feeling depressed. Why couldn't he persuade this old lady?
"Then what do I, brother Li Feng, say?"
Mrs. Li said, "He listens to what I say. Oh, there is one more important thing I haven't mentioned just now. Of the entire Li family, now you are the only one left, Brother Li Feng. The burden on his shoulders is huge."
Qing. If his uncle hadn't risked his life to save his father, how could we be here? Therefore, the son Li Feng gives birth to should preferably be the eldest son, and let him be adopted by his uncle!"
Lin Zhixiu: "Ah?! Is there such a thing?"
Old Mrs. Li said, "Yes! If the wife he marries is unwilling, I will give him a concubine. After adoption, in the future, most of the family's property will be brought to the eldest son by this son. You think, everyone
Lady, who would agree to that? If the status is too high, I can’t handle it, old lady, no?!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Is that so!? My brother Li Feng also agrees!?"
Old Mrs. Li said, "He agreed. This idea was his idea!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "I understand, this is indeed not easy!"
No wonder……
Old Mrs. Li said, "Things in this world are unpredictable. I have to get Li Feng married as soon as possible. To be honest, I have been worried about him day and night for so many years since he went to the northwest. Just fearing that he would have an accident would really destroy the Li family. When the time comes, I will
How to meet Li Feng's father? Now, I just want to find an ordinary person who doesn't have a house, so I rent a yard to get married and give birth to a son as soon as possible. That day, when I found out that your aunt was pregnant, I was so envious of me!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Xiu'er understands your thoughts. My aunt is pregnant, and Xiu'er is really more at ease."
Old Mrs. Li smiled, "So, can you understand what I am thinking? If we put forward such conditions, there will be fewer people to choose from. So, just find someone who is strong and generous!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Then... I'll go talk to Mrs. Liu and ask her to help too?!"
Old Mrs. Li said, "That's great! I, the old lady, can see whether people are strong or not, and how they are... When the time comes, if it's convenient for Miss Zhixiu, please help me take a look. After all, it's for life."
thing!"
Lin Zhixiu looked at this old lady: simple, perseverant, and good-natured.
No wonder I can bring up Brother Li Feng to be so successful.
Thinking of the disgusting Aunt Zhang and the series of people yesterday...
This kind of character is really divided into three levels.
