Unexpectedly, there was no more commotion at home. Yang and Fang'er actually got along very well, which even Yuezhen found strange. Li Dazhi had a beautiful wife, a virtuous concubine, and a harmonious back house. He was very proud for a while, thinking that he was very charming.
The little dispute before made him feel a little embarrassed, but otherwise, where would he have such a beautiful concubine to accompany him all the time?
After all, Old Man Li didn't use any family tactics against Li Dazhi, he only had a deep talk with Li Dazhi. Even Feng didn't know what he said, but Li Dazhi came out with a sad face and was very honest.
The child was studying hard in the study room where Li Youzhi slept, and even his wife and concubines were rarely seen.
The arrival of a new concubine in the Li family naturally aroused the curiosity of the villagers. Some people who were close friends even came to visit on an excuse. Several families adjacent to the Li family also talked about Qiu Da's gang that day, but the Li family did not respond.
When the news was released that the wife of the county school was going to marry her daughter to Li Youzhi, the villagers did not dare to say anything nonsense.
This year's winter has come extremely late. It's already early December and it hasn't snowed yet. The old farmers in the village are very worried. They all say that "the auspicious snow heralds a good harvest." This makes sense. A heavy snowfall in one winter can freeze you to death.
There are many pests, and there were no insecticides in ancient times. If it doesn’t snow and freeze to death some pests, once spring begins, once the pests overrun, no matter how hard farmers work on the land, they won’t be able to harvest much. If something goes wrong, it will cause a “locust plague”
”, then there will be no harvest, and in the future there will be starvation and corpses everywhere!
The old farmers are very worried, but they still have to live their lives. Every household still kills pigs and sheep to prepare New Year's goods and food for the winter. The children are still very happy to have pigs and vegetables to eat every day, and there are many snacks, etc.
New year cakes, fried fruits, sweet cakes, etc., children who are close to each other will share it with each other. Yuezhen was dragged out by Taohua to eat the food given by her friends. Naturally, she had to share some of the food carefully prepared by Liu with her friends.
them.
In mid-December, God finally opened his eyes to a heavy snowfall. The heavy snow fell for several hours, and the snow on the ground was so thick that Yuezhen's little arms and legs could not step out at all. They were already severely restricted.
He was not allowed to go out of his room, and he only played with his brothers every day, or followed his brothers in tracing red and big characters, so he lived a happy life.
"Hey, a few days ago I was worried that it wouldn't snow. I was afraid that there would be an insect infestation when spring started. But now it's good, the snow is going to stop. It's really cold outside. I was shivering as soon as I opened the door!
"Liu saw that there were not many steamed buns to make today, so she and Li Sanzhi went to the big kitchen to make some steamed buns.
"I told you not to go out a long time ago, but you refused to listen. It's cold now. Come on, get on the kang and warm yourself up. I'll cook!"
"I won't go. You're both in love with each other, so you have to be busy all day long!" Ms. Liu glanced at Li Sanzhi and said, "But it's snowing so hard, so the beams in our house are still stable.
Don't you sleep until midnight?"
"Don't worry, the wood used to raise the beams of our house is all high-quality wood, and it won't collapse so easily. When the snow stops falling, I will sweep the snow off the roof.
What could go wrong,,,"
While Li Sanzhi and his wife were talking, they heard a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Third Madam, it's me!"
"Don't call me madam. I feel uncomfortable when people call me madam. Just call me by my first name! Is there anything wrong?" Mrs. Liu stood up and opened the door. Although she had no good impression of people like Fang'er who ruined families,
But after all, she is the eldest uncle's woman, so it's not too rude. Besides, if you come from a small family, you can call her "ma'am, sir" like someone from a wealthy family, so you won't make people laugh.
"I'm sorry, Hui Niang, the eldest sister has to take care of Sanlang and can't cook. I'm also pregnant with a baby. The little one in my belly has been very noisy recently for some reason. I feel nauseous and vomiting all the time. I really can't do any work. So,,
, can I bring some steamed buns back from your place?" Fang'er stood pretty at the door, wearing a pink rabbit fur cloak. She looked more juicy than Zizhen, not looking like a woman in her twenties.
Her belly had already bulged out before it bulged. She was holding her waist with one hand and holding a bamboo basket in the other. Her little face was pointed and frail.
"This,,,this" Ms. Liu frowned. It's not easy to make steamed buns on a cold day. It's not that she's reluctant to part with that little thing. It's just that if she gives it to her, she will have to make it again, and she won't be punished again.
Well.
"Sorry, I also know that it is not easy for you to make some steamed buns in this cold weather. With my body..." Fang'er felt sick and wanted to vomit before she could finish her words. At this time, Fang'er also felt a little regretful.
, she had never done any menial work. She originally had a maid named Hua'er, but she was originally a concubine. She heard that the mistress didn't even bring a maid with her when she came to the house. She was afraid of being gossiped, so she arranged for Hua'er to be secretly with her.
I didn't bring them to a shop I bought. During the past few days here, Yang ignored everything and only took care of Sanlang, who was said to have a cold. Even Li Dazhi was left aside. Fang'er had to cook, wash and serve the family every day.
The old snack is drinking lasa, and I have to have a good time with Li Dazhi from time to time in the evening. I have been in trouble recently, and I have really suffered a lot.
"Okay, okay, it's not easy for you either. We don't have much preparation here. You can take some to deal with it first!" Seeing this, Mrs. Liu remembered that she was nauseous, vomiting and sleepy when she was pregnant with several babies, but she
I had to take care of the housework and work in the fields. Thinking about it, it was really hard, otherwise I wouldn't have lost two babies. In any case, the babies in my belly are innocent. It's snowy and the road is slippery. It's cold. Brother
She was someone who didn't feel sorry for her wife and children, so if the busy work came out, she would feel uneasy. There were only a few wotou around, so Mrs. Liu agreed.
"Thank you Hui Niang. I have known for a long time that you are the kindest person in this family. I have a few rulers here and some embroidery work I did in my spare time. If you don't mind, just accept it!" Fang'er thanked her repeatedly and held up her hand.
The bamboo basket was handed over.
"Look, you are a heretic, aren't you? We are all one family, why are you so polite?" Madam Liu was a little surprised. In the Li family, she never got a gift in return for giving anything away, not even those from the fourth room.
The same goes for Mrs. Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang is also poor. Whatever she has on hand, she secretly sends it back to her parents' family. She has many brothers and sisters in her family, and none of her brothers has even married yet!
"This is just a gift I gave to my nieces and nephews. If you don't mind it, just accept it! I had wanted to send it to you for a long time, but I am here as a concubine after all, so I'm afraid you won't look down on me.
, Secondly, I really feel sorry for you all, I have caused my family to lose so much money, and I really don’t have the face to see you, so now,,," he said with tears in his eyes, looking like he regretted it.
"Okay, I'll accept it on their behalf and let them thank you for another day. You should also take care of your health and just say something if anything happens." Mrs. Liu politely took the bamboo basket and said, "Fang'er's
These words made her feel much better. Anyone who paid fifty taels of silver in vain would feel unhappy if he didn't get any good treatment. Now that he was sorry, she felt much closer to him.
"No, no!" Fang'er waved her hands repeatedly.
Mrs. Liu didn't say much, she just went back to the house and put down the things in the bamboo basket, and then put a bamboo basket of steamed buns for Fang'er.
"She is a sensible person, but she shouldn't have become a concubine and ruined a good family!" Mrs. Liu said with emotion after seeing Fang'er leave.
"I heard from my eldest brother that it was not easy for her. Her parents' family was in good condition, but her aunt was unkind, her father-in-law died young, and she met an overbearing and unreasonable cousin. She was committed to her because she admired his talent, but Qiu was Big discovery,,," Li Sanzhi said while steaming steamed buns.
"Hey, she is also a miserable person. I just took a look and she can do embroidery better than me. It's no wonder. She comes from a wealthy family and has a different upbringing. But why doesn't she remarry properly and insists on getting entangled with her elder brother? What?" No matter where in time and space, gossip is a woman's nature.
"That Qiu Da is so arrogant that he won't let her remarry..."
"It is indeed not easy to get into trouble with people like Qiu Da, but no matter what, she should never be so confused. She is also a concubine. Doesn't she understand the pain of being a concubine and not see the difficulties of being a concubine? If she meets a mean-spirited mistress, won't she and the baby in her belly have to suffer the same fate as her mother and daughter?" Mrs. Liu shook her head, feeling that she was very puzzled by Fang'er's behavior. In Mrs. Liu's opinion, With Fang'er's conditions, she can definitely find a poorer family to be her first wife. Although life will be difficult at the beginning, as long as she can live with her husband, life will get better gradually. What Liu doesn't know is that most people don't dare to mess with her at all. When Fang'er went to Fang'er, it was not that Fang'er had never thought about finding a good family to marry into and become his wife. It was also not that there were sons from good families who saw her and came to propose marriage, but Qiu Da secretly dealt with them and changed their minds. She also thought about concubine, but most likely she despised her, and even if she had a casual marriage, she would not want to marry her, and she could barely live with Li Dazhi.
"How can you know clearly about other people's affairs?"
"Let me tell you, there's quite a bit of trouble at my eldest brother's house!"
"Never mind them, let's just live well on our own!"
After the two chatted for a while, they asked the children to eat.
"Mother, the purse made by that woman is so beautiful, and there are still silver nuggets in it!" Yue Zhen raised the purse in her hand and said as soon as she saw Mrs. Liu.
"She is quite willing. When you see her in the future, please don't be so rude to her. When you see this woman or that woman, just call her Aunt Fang!" Ms. Liu's wallet turned out to be half a tael of silver each. He has nine children, and he has big hands. He still makes a profit from the few cornbread provided by his family.
"Uh, okay! But this purse is so beautiful, can I wear it?" Yue Zhen looked at Liu and asked.
"Huh, Mommy and you have made so many purses and it still doesn't look good?" Ms. Liu pretended to be angry.
"No, my mother-in-law made the most beautiful purse. I don't want to wear it and get it dirty." Yue Zhen hugged Ms. Liu's neck and acted coquettishly.
