Chapter 2 Shuxiang Family
"Five and Fifth Lady, you are finally willing to speak."
Cui's mother was a little excited and raised her voice a lot. She was so shocked that the girl guarded the door rushed in. Seeing that Cui's mother walked several times in front of Shaohua's bed, she thought something had happened. In the end, Shaohua couldn't stand their harassment.
"Mom Cui, I'm going to rest. I have to get up early tomorrow to say hi to my mother." Shaohua can't talk about it.
For good, Cui's mother didn't take a closer look. She felt that it was not hard to let the Fifth Lady speak. Lian Sheng responded and wanted a little girl to stay for a vigil, but finally let Shaohua refuse. Cui's mother was a little depressed, but she thought that she could go back to the second lady tomorrow to ask for a lottery, and her face was full of smiles. She repeatedly told her to get up at night and call loudly, so that she didn't have to run out by herself. With Shaohua's impatient face, she left with the girls.
The first-class door was closed, and the shadow outside the door faded away, and Shaohua came out of the quilt again.
After recovering from being able to get out of bed, she has been a mute for more than half a month, listening to Cui's mother's idleness and knowing her new identity. His grandfather Li Xianyang was a cabinet man who had retired from the court a few years ago. Originally, Li Ge was highly valued and had great prestige in the court, but for the sake of his future, he handed over a memorial and begged him to return home. The emperor was reluctant, but Li Liangxun, the eldest son of Li Ge, is currently the secretary of Hongyin Temple. His eldest grandson Li Sijin and the first son Li Si, who invited him to release, and Li Sinian, the heir under the name of the third son, turned out to be a flower lover in the same year as Li Sijin.
That year, the whole capital caused a sensation when the imperial list was posted.
This is not only one family of three scholars, but also the Li family accounts for two in the first three rankings, but also uncles and brothers. For a while, the threshold of the Li family was almost flattened by the matchmaker. Whether it was married to a man, it was a very glorious thing. Even the dignitaries were moved to ask the harem to help set up their daughter and the Li family. The Li family, which had always been low-key, suddenly sang back to a high-profile. First, Li Gelao reported to return to his hometown. Before the emperor's approval, he announced the marriage of his eldest grandson Li Sijin and Xin Zixuan, the eldest daughter of General Dingxi. Everyone couldn't figure out how a cabinet man sitting firmly on the high platform ran to marry the general guarding the northwest.
The people next to him were confused, and the emperor knew that General Dingxi was extremely prestigious in the hearts of the generals and was very talented in marching and fighting. Just because he married a foreign woman and was not close to the people in Beijing, he asked himself to guard the border. It is precisely because General Dingxi is guarding in North Sichuan that he can be stable in the court, but he is as low-key and restrained as Li Ge. If these two people work together, I'm afraid the wind of the court will have to fall to one side.
So the emperor immediately agreed to Li Geran's memorial, and Li Sijin, who had just got married, was invited to be released at the same time. For a moment, the nobles in Beijing had no choice but to turn their eyes to Li Sinian. However, he found that Tanhualang went to Shanxi to recuperate on the grounds that everyone's eyes were focused on Li Sijin.
Just when everyone felt sorry for the Li family's self-destructive behavior, some people pointed out the brilliance of Mr. Li.
Not to mention that Li Ge's old age is high. If he is in office, I'm afraid that Li Sijin and Li Sinian will not be entrusted with heavy responsibilities. There is no reason why all four ancestors and grandchildren have heavy positions. Even if the court did not poke his backbone, the emperor felt uneasy. As soon as Li Ge retired, he found a big backer for his eldest grandson to be his father-in-law. Because General Dingxi was in Beichuan, no matter how high his position was, he could not threaten the courtiers, so he was not a good father-in-law for Li Sijin, who had just started office. More importantly, the emperor has not established a prince so far, and the emperor's eldest son is the same age as the emperor's second son, and his mother's family is equally prominent. In case of standing in the wrong line, his future career will fall in.
As soon as Li Sijin left, but when his term of office expires and he returns to the court to report, the new emperor will naturally be promoted. And Li Sinian's illness is true or false. No one knows. Some people say that Li Sinian pretended to be ill and absconded in order to let Li Sinian have a good plan in the court. Some people say that Li Sinian is really sick, otherwise Li Sijin will ask for release. Why didn't he come back?
Originally, it was a glorious event of three scholars. In the end, they retreated, became ill, and walked away. On the contrary, the career of the Li family was not as good as that of Li Ge when he was in power.
But this is all about the Li family's official career. Many people have forgotten that Li Xianyang's family is in Shanxi, but he is a famous Jin merchant. Shan Li Xianyang, a member of the clan, is an official, and most of the others are local squires and rich businessmen. Even if the whole family leaves the dynasty, they can't starve them.
It's just that Shaohua couldn't laugh or cry that she became her sister-in-law in her last life. Although she accepted the new body and appearance, she still knew who she was. One day, the maid who passed by the door broke her mouth and said that General Dingxi and his wife were visiting the house. Without saying a word, she didn't even wear her coat and wanted to run to the compound like crazy. She hadn't seen her parents for more than two months. They must have thought she was dead and didn't know how sad she should be.
But before she ran out of her small yard, she was blocked. She cried and shouted to go out to see her parents, but no one paid attention to her. When Ling received the news, she looked at Shaohua with a haggard face and tears in her eyes, and remembered that when she had just been taken to Pu'an, her eyes were sore and she hugged her and cried that she would never leave her again. When Ling saw her talking nonsense, she was afraid of provoking the passer-by again, and invited the Taoist monk to do a water and land dojo for seventy-49 days.
Since then, Shaohua's every move has become the object of attention and completely dispelled her idea of absconding.
Early in the morning, Cui's mother came to dress Shaohua. She was weak after being ill for many days, but she looked a little soft and graceful under Cui's mother's makeup. This was the first time Shaohua stepped out of the yard. She was not only excited, but also Cui's mother was excited.
Maybe she was worried that Shaohua had just recovered from her long illness and was exhausted. As soon as she went out, two strong women waited outside. Shaohua was not used to being served like this, but he thought that his strength was indeed not as good as before, and he was too lazy to argue with Cui's mother. He was carried to Ling's courtyard.
She just came down. Someone had been waiting at the door and saw her running forward excitedly to help.
Shaohua smiled bitterly in his heart. What kind of treatment is this? When she was crowned princess, she had never been so carefully supported. At most, her tone was more respectful. She thought that there were so many rules in a minister's mansion.
In fact, Shaohua didn't know that there were not so many rules on weekdays, but he just understood that she came to say good-in for the first time.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Ling sitting high in the upper position, with smiles on her face and talking happily with the girl beside her. Shaohua raised his step and hesitated for a moment. Cui's mother had already opened her voice at the door, "Second Lady, Third Lady, Fifth Lady Here."
Hearing this, Ling Shi hurriedly looked up and looked at her youngest daughter timidly at the door and dared not enter the door, but her eldest daughter was gentle and soft, and her heart was a little sad. After all, it's not the child who grew up around her. As soon as she came back, she was sick and shocked. In the future, she will definitely have to double compensate her. Come in quickly and let your mother take a good look at you."
Shaohua did not know the complex struggle in Ling's heart. He only wanted to do what to do so as not to make people think that she had had hindiasis again. Thinking that she was a monk and a Taoist priest these days, she recited scriptures and spit around her every day. If she hadn't been weak and weak, she would have driven them away. Run away.
Shaohua's tenacious sense of survival made Ling more convinced that this was all done by divine power.
"A, good luck." With the help of Cui's mother, Shaohua walked to Ling and bowed to her. Looking at the beautiful man with bright eyes and teeth, she also leaned down and nodded slowly, "I've seen the third sister."
It was rare for Shaohua to speak and took the initiative to say hi to her. Ling, who got the news last night, was so excited that he couldn't sleep. Come on, Sanniang, help your sister up quickly.
Wanhua ranked third among Li Xianyang's grandchildren, two years older than Shaohua. When Shaohua was sent to Pu'an Ling's house, she just began to understand.
I just remembered that she had a younger sister, and I met her several times later, but every time she returned home, she always scared the Li family. Gradually, she never saw this sister again. Unexpectedly, after many years, I saw her again as a graceful girl. Between her eyebrows, she was more like the Ling family than her and Li Blang and Li Simo. Especially those eyes are lazy, which makes people feel inexplicably friendly.
"Five sister, get up quickly. We are also the family of our direct relatives. There is no need to do these false salutes." Wanhua looked like the eldest sister, took her hand, sat aside, and asked with concern, "You have scared your mother a lot this time. Your family is worried about you. Fortunately, God bless the good people. You are getting better."
Shaohua was a little uncomfortable and wanted to pull back the hand she held tightly, but Wanhua squeezed it tightly, and she couldn't break away. "I'm worried about my mother and sister."
"Fool, you and San Niang are both daughters of A Niang. How can you not worry? It's all my fault. I really want this disease to be born to me, and you don't have to suffer so much. Ling said, unconsciously pierced the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
Wanhua quickly got up to comfort the Ling family. Shaohua lowered his head and rubbed the small handkerchief, feeling panicked. Although her mother often made up for the rules of the family in the capital before she got married in her last life. At that time, she had already heard it, but at least she married as a Rob family. It is said that the royal family also specially invited her a Rob cook. If she occasionally pretends to be a serious lady, she can still be competent, but if she wants to talk and do things like this every day, she is afraid that she will have to commit "hemia" again in a few days.
"Mom, what are you doing when you say this for no reason? Are you sick and your fifth sister feels good? Now that the fifth sister has gone home and is in good health, we will have a good life in the future. Wanhua quietly stretched out his legs and kicked Shaohua. Seeing her looking up indifferently, he quickly winked at her.
Shaohua came to his senses and quickly comforted him: "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine."
When Ling saw her two daughters snuggling up to her side, she suddenly felt extremely happy, so she burst into tears and smiled: "San Niang said it well, Wu Niang, you are going home now. Don't be restrained in the future. You should know that this is your home."
Can I go out to ride a horse every day without wearing such troublesome clothes? Shaohua meditated in his heart, but said obediently, "I know."
After a burst of mother-daughter friendship, Wanhua suddenly looked out of the door and frowned and said, "Well, Jinhua, why is it so late today? Don't stay in bed! Book, go and see what's going on!"
"Yes." The girl named Shuyu came out, saluted the crowd, turned around and wanted to leave, but heard a cheerful smile from the yard.
