In the drizzle, on the slightly yellowish sea, a huge sea ship was not far away, and a small boat was undulating with the waves.
On the small boat, Mr. Liu, wrapped in a fox fur, was fishing in the sea with a pole.
Another small boat passing by from the sea ship approached. A thin black man stepped onto the boat of Mr. Liu's family. He knelt down and said: "Miss Li set off at the end of the journey. She used the prince's four-horse cart. At two o'clock at noon,
At this moment, the prince left Linhai Town and headed towards Kunshan County very quickly. He returned to Linhai Town at two o'clock in the morning and went directly to the Customs and Excise Department."
Mr. Liu listened attentively, hummed, and smiled.
Even though I’m so busy, I still have to rush over to meet and give him a ride. Well, that’s good!
………………………………
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, not long after breakfast, a sturdy and elegant green silk cart parked in front of Hong's house.
A little girl of twelve or thirteen years old jumped out of the car first and stood next to the car door. A woman in her fifties pressed the little girl's shoulder, got out of the car, took a few steps forward, and looked at him curiously.
The concierge at the side smiled and said: "Can you please send a message to Second Grandma Li: I came from Pingjiang City on the orders of Second Grandma's sister, Li Si Niang."
When the concierge heard about the second mistress’s sister, he quickly bowed and said, “Wait a moment!”
Their second mistress’s sister is an honored guest that their old man greets with a smile every time!
After a while, the concierge trotted out and bowed to the woman, "Our second grandma invites you in."
"Wait here." The woman ordered the coachman, took the little girl, and followed the concierge in.
Li Yinzhu was sulking with Hong Zhenye, "... Grandma said, it's not good to sit all the time!"
"Auntie!" Hong Zhenye said with a pained look on his face, "No matter how smart she is and no matter how well she understands everything, she can't understand how to conceive and give birth to a child, right? Why did she give birth to me and my sister? This must be the case.
Grandma knows better, right? You have to listen to grandma on this matter, right?"
"We country people all go to work in the fields even when we are pregnant. My mother-in-law gave birth to five of us siblings and she never sat still!" Li Yinzhu immediately retorted.
"Hey, grandma, this is different. Someone is coming. Hey, grandma, don't move!" Hong Zhenye pressed Li Yinzhu down and said, "I'll go, I'll go!"
"This is Grandma San Gu." The woman entered the small courtyard, met Li Yinzhu's gaze, and smiled in greeting.
Li Yinzhu slapped Hong Zhenye away and stood up quickly, "Who are you?"
The concierge said it was someone sent here by Grandma, but she didn’t recognize this person.
"The little woman's surname is Lu. She has been serving in the Royal Medical Bureau for decades. She retired and returned to Pingjiang two years ago. Yesterday, our prince sent a message and asked the little woman to come and attend to the pregnancy and childbirth of the third aunt." p>
Aunt Lu's words were clear, and Li Yinzhu was stunned, but then she realized, "Ah Nan said that you are here so soon, please take a seat."
Hong Zhenye's eyes widened in shock.
"Because I have to serve my third aunt for several months, I brought some clothes and utensils with me. I asked my uncle to ask a few people to carry them in the car." Aunt Lu continued with a smile.
"Okay, okay! You sit down, you sit down! I'll go right away!" Hong Zhenye picked up the front of his gown and ran out.
"Hey, slow down!" Li Yinzhu shouted, "Don't worry, Mommy, let him go to work. Mommy, please sit down." Li Yinzhu smiled and gave way.
Hong Zhenye rushed out, stood at the gate, and directed the porter and several women to unload the luggage and luggage, and ordered them to be moved into his courtyard. He hurriedly asked someone to bring the horse over, got on the horse, and went straight out to find Weng Weng.<
/p>
Mr. Hong and his father, Mr. Hong, go out to have New Year's Eve dinner every day. Today, Mr. Hong went to Magistrate Zhu's New Year's Eve banquet at Xiangyun Tower.
Hong Zhenye ran all the way into Xiangyun Tower.
He, Mr. Hong, sat next to Magistrate Zhu, and Mr. Li Shikuan and Mr. Li sat next to him.
Hong Zhenye rushed straight to Mr. Hong, "Weng Weng!"
"Look at you kid, how can you be so unruly!" Mrs. Hong said with a fierce face as she lectured.
"There is an old lady who said she came from the royal palace..."
When Mr. Hong heard the words "Wangfu Biye", he stood up immediately.
"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Yin Zhu, saying it's grandma..." Hong Zhenye quickly explained.
"Did you bully Yinzhu?" Mr. Hong nodded at Hong Zhenye's nose.
"Ah? I bully her? I can't quarrel with her or beat her, so how can I bully her?" Hong Zhenye shouted aggrievedly: "Listen to me, she said she came to attend to the pregnancy and childbirth of the third aunt.
, and I also brought a lot of luggage with me."
Mr. Hong was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Li Shikuan, "In-laws?"
"Oh!" Li Shikuan said with a smile on his face: "It's about this. I heard my wife talk about it years ago, saying that Yinzhu was pregnant. Jinzhu was very worried, saying that he wanted to find some secret recipe used by noble people. In the third year of junior high school
That day, the prince took A-nan to Linhai Town and told her what kind of banquet it was. It was about time that A-nan begged the prince, who was a vigorous and resolute person."
"My grandma is also a neat-tempered person. Look at this child, he can't speak clearly. Go and find your father to see if he's okay, and ask him to go back quickly and arrange a place to live, and ask your mother-in-law to do the same.
Go back, be more careful and thoughtful, and then send someone to tell Jin Zhu." Mr. Hong told Hong Zhenye.
Hong Zhenye agreed and then ran all the way to find his father.
"Aye, this kid, has been blessed since he was a child." The old man of the Zhang family who was diagonally opposite said with admiration and admiration.
"He's a silly boy." Mr. Hong said with a smile.
"Are you saying that Zhenye doesn't plan to end this year? Zhenye's academic articles are already in high demand. This subject will definitely make him a high school student." Magistrate Zhu asked with concern.
"Ah-nan has been staring at A-ye and Xuedong's knowledge and articles. Yinzhu said that A-nan said that A-ye and Xuedong should sink their minds into their knowledge and articles and study them carefully for a few years. If they don't
I'm in a hurry to finish." Mr. Hong turned to look at Li Shikuan with a hint of helplessness, "Xuedong said you won't finish the two or three subjects?"
"I didn't say death. I said when his article made Grandma nod her head, and when it will end." Li Shikuan said with a smile.
"Years ago, I went to Pingjiang City to meet Liu Fuyin, and I heard Liu Fuyin say that Grandma gave advice to the prince?" Magistrate Zhu's question contained a vague atmosphere of gossip.
Old Mrs. Hong laughed and looked at Li Shikuan, "Isn't it because I got to know the prince because I asked for advice?"
"Please tell me about Ge Zhi. My grandmother is also a silly girl. She asked the prince to give it to her now that he has finished practicing. The prince actually gave her a gold lock. He gave her a gold lock in the last class. When her eldest sister knows about it,
, she has saved a lot of gold coins, and scared her eldest sister, so she went to find her uncle with the gold coins." Li Shiqian said with a helpless smile.
"Your Majesty is truly a courteous and virtuous corporal."
"Our grandma is really a talented woman!"
"Your grandmother's knowledge is enough to be recorded in your Li family tree."
"No, it's not easy to be able to give advice to the prince, even if it's not as good as the master. Even though it's a daughter's family, it still needs to be recorded in the family tree!"
……
There was a lot of flattery and flattery all around.
………………………………
The Li clan wants to change the clan rules. Li Jinzhu feels that the several conditions that need to be changed are major matters. In addition, he has to discuss the fine cloth business with the main hall aunt, the second hall aunt, and the other ten or so steward aunts and hall sisters in the clan. Sister Li
My brother’s return to Pingjiang City was postponed from the sixth day to the sixteenth day.
Li Jinzhu was busy revising the clan rules. Li Xiaonan followed Li Yuzhu and the lobby aunts to discuss the fine cloth business. Li Xuedong was called by his father-in-law, Mr. Gao, to discuss the expansion of the school.
A Wu and Yu Ting became idlers, so they went out early and came home late to listen to the opera.
I listened for two days in a row. On the third day, just as I was about to go out, I was stopped by Sister Mei. "You two, don't go out, stay home."
"It's so hard to hold it in at home..."
Before Ah Wu could finish his words, he was slapped back by Yu Ting, "What's wrong? Someone said something? What happened?" Yu Ting looked at Sister Mei's face carefully.
Sister Mei’s face is not very good.
"No one said anything, it's not a big deal, it's just annoying, a lazy toad jumped on the instep!" Sister Mei spat in annoyance.
"Who bullied you?" Awu raised his eyebrows.
"Stop talking!" Yuting slapped Awu again, "Who is here? Your sister-in-law?"
"Those nephews of mine!" Sister Mei spat again, "It's been two days in a row, you've all left, and now they're here, circling around me!"
"I won't go to the theater. I didn't want to go yesterday because I was tired from standing." Yuting said with a smile.
"Me too, I'm exhausted from standing here. I'm just here to accompany you. I never like to listen to operas!" Ah Wu said with his hands behind his back, "I'm going to check on our horse. It's time to comb it and braid it."
."
"Let's make some rice dumplings to eat. Grandma mentioned rice dumplings that day, and I want to eat them too." Yuting and Sister Mei laughed.
"Okay." Sister Mei breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuting soaked the rice and dried rice dumpling leaves, took a small stool, and sat next to Sister Mei, washing clothes and talking together.
"Have you told the eldest sister that your brother and sister-in-law asked you to adopt him?" Yuting asked.
"I didn't say that my sister-in-law went to see the eldest sister. The eldest sister told me that this was my business and she shouldn't have to worry about it, so my sister-in-law pestered me."
"You should ask the eldest sister to help you block a gear." Yuting suggested.
"No, I live in my own stall. I'm afraid of making a big fuss and people saying I'm bullying others because of my eldest sister's power. They can't do anything to me, I just think they're too annoying."
Sister Mei sighed.
"Besides, when I was sent back, my eldest brother and sister-in-law took over. That was the most difficult time for me, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law did not save me. Alas."
Sister Mei sighed again.
"As for this desperate situation, if I can help my eldest brother's family, I will definitely help, but they are too greedy. They are in the first year of junior high school and want to be in the fifteenth year. I can't help, and I don't have the ability!"
"There are only a few days in a year. It will be fine when we return to Pingjiang City." Yuting comforted, then suddenly paused, "Sister Mei, they didn't follow you to Pingjiang City, did they?"
"Two or three times, I didn't let them in. Alas!" Sister Mei sighed again.
"Sister Mei." Yuting hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, although I shouldn't say this, in Awu and I's hearts, you are just like our biological sister, so we have to say this even if we shouldn't."
"You say it, you say it, there is nothing we can't say."
"Sister Mei, you have to hold on and don't take a step back. As long as you take a step back, it is not a step, it is retreating all the way, until you retreat to the road of death."
Yu Ting had a serious look on his face, paused in his words, looked around, stretched his head towards Sister Mei, and lowered his voice:
"Our grandma is definitely not simple. Our family will never be rich in the future. If you can't keep it here, either they won't want you, or your brother's family will gain power and something will happen. You old man
He is not a good person."
"Second sister told me the same thing." Sister Mei also lowered her voice.
"Second Sister knows very well. Second Sister is really doing this for your own good." Yu Ting bumped Sister Mei with his shoulder, "From now on, whenever we meet at Li's house, I will accompany you and not leave any time for them."
."
"Okay! I'm not afraid of them, I just find them annoying." Sister Mei smiled.
