Chapter 11 Exposure of Nature
After taking the knowledge of Si Yan and Yichen, he asked about the girls' homework. Because Siyan has been sticking around, Liu didn't ask about the homework of several girls, but only symbolically told them a few words, "Mr. is a knowledgeable person, don't let it down." Then he watched several young people laughing and joking, and the afternoon's time was quickly worn away.
Pang is also rare to be so happy. When the sun shines in the west, his face is already tired, but he still hasn't moved for a long time.
Ling thought that her husband would come to eat tonight, and happily took her two daughters to leave first. Liu wanted to keep them down for dinner, but after asking why, he was no longer reluctant. Pang was also about to leave, and Liu was puzzled: "Why don't the third sister stay and have fun together? The garden is too lonely."
Pang shook his head and refused, "I have always been used to being quiet, and today is also blessed by my sister-in-law to have so much fun. Besides, there are guests in Xuyuan, how can I bother you again? No matter how much Liu persuaded her, she insisted on leaving.
Liu had no choice but to agree, "Chenlang and Yan Niang are not guests, just their nephews. Since you insist, I'm not reluctant, but it's time for Erlang to come back. No matter what you say, it's his mother. There is no reason not to serve his mother. Pang's eyes were slightly light, but he didn't say anything, just nodded and said goodbye.
Calculations, Xuyuan and Xiyuan are not far apart. Compared with Biwuxuan's garden, they are close to each other. Therefore, when Pang came out of Xuyuan, Ling's mother and daughter, who had left earlier, had already sat firmly in their hall.
Along the way, Wanhua told Ling what happened in class, and naturally, it was inevitable that Jinhua was taught by Mother Rong.
Shaohua didn't dare to interrupt. He quietly listened to Wanhua finish his words and thought he would be scolded.
Unexpectedly, Ling only sighed deeply. I knew that your grandfather loved you in the palm of his hand, and everything was up to you, so I didn't take the words of the Ling family seriously. But I didn't expect the Ling family to let you be so lazy. Fortunately, they brought you back in time and met such a knowledgeable female gentleman.
Looking at Shaohua's innocent face, Ling Shi was helpless: "Well, since your husband has said so, you will learn carefully in the future and don't leave others behind." Ling's "others" refers to Yan Sui and Jinhua.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and Shaohua suddenly became happy. He didn't expect it to be so easy to pass today. He hurriedly agreed, "My daughter will never let grandma down!"
Wanhua was dissatisfied with his sister's joy and anger and said in a low voice, "Don't say too much. You just looked at the red daughter of the Liu family. The needle and thread is about to catch up with the embroidery of Hongxiufang. Although Qi Niang is young, she is also doing a good job. You are my sister and the direct one. You can't send her away. From tomorrow, I will personally urge you to work hard.
Hongxiufang is a famous embroidery village in the capital, specializing in official business. Because the embroidery products are outstanding, exquisite and gorgeous, and there are various changes. Even if it is more expensive, the dignitaries are scrambling to buy them first. If a woman's embroidery can be sold to Hongxiufang, it is a great honor. Unfortunately, Hongxiufang receives very little and the requirements are extremely strict.
Shaohua listened and immediately collapsed his little face. It seemed that the needlework could not escape. Thinking of the braised duck he once embroidered, Shaohua lowered his head and looked down at his open hand. I was annoyed that since I got this body, why couldn't I get the ability of the original owner? How painful it would be if this white and tender finger was poked by a needle.
In Wanhua's eyes, Shaohua's divine travel is a profound and enlightened state of child's love to learn. Compared with Jinhua's disobedience to her, Shaohua undoubtedly gave her a sense of achievement. As soon as he was relieved, he did not scold Shaohua again.
"Sanniang is right, but in addition to being a red girl, it is more important for the sake of life. In the future, no matter who marries the Liu family or which husband you marry, you are a serious wife. From the elders of the clan, to the servants and husbands, and the colleagues of the future husband, you all have to be reasonable. It was the first time that Ling told his daughter the way of being a family so seriously. "The old man valued you ladies very much, or he would not have specially sent someone to invite this lady. It is said that all the women she taught were all Shu Xianhui, and two of them went to the palace as women. You must live up to your teacher's teachings and your grandfather's expectations of you.
The two sisters looked at each other and hurriedly answered.
After Ling's addiction to a good wife and mother, she saw Shaohua's sullen face, so she asked, "What's wrong? I was scared." For Wanhua, she has been tired of hearing these words, but perhaps no one has ever mentioned Shaohua, and it is understandable that it is difficult to accept for a while.
Shaohua shook his head, which was not enough to scare her. However, after being reprimanded repeatedly, my heart was a little blocked and I couldn't help asking, "Mother, is it necessary for someone between me and my sister to marry the brother of the Liu family?"
Ling and Wanhua were stunned at the same time. Shaohua decided to risk it and spit it out quickly. "Mother, I heard Cui's mother talk about the marriage between the two families of Liu and Li. Cui's mother also said that this Liu Jialangjun is the in-laws of this generation. Is there such a problem?
Ling nodded, "Liu and Li's marriage has been married for several generations, and each generation has selected the most suitable person in the clan." Although the Liu family didn't say it clearly, they let Yichen live in the Li family like this, which is obviously the first to get to the platform near the water.
Shaohua's mind turned quickly and immediately answered, "But our Li family did not promise to marry any woman." Shaohua's silence is tacit. If it is internalized, Ling should also be clear. "In this case, we might as well not know what to do. My grandfather has extremely high requirements for his descendants. Even our wives require us to read and read, and he must not want us to marry in the mountains and villages. Although Liu Jialangjun is a student, I may not be much better than my fourth brother. If he can go to high school every day, that's great. If he can't, and there is another Ruyi Langjun who comes..."
Shaohua deliberately stopped for a moment, giving Ling a space for imagination, and then sighed, "Mother Cui said that A Niang felt sorry for the third sister and had been looking for the third sister for her. It must be me or Qi Niang who will marry the Liu family... But Qi Niang is a concubine after all. If the brother of the Liu family can't go to high school in the future, then I..."
Shaohua's voice gradually lowered, as if he was choking, which made Ling's heart sad.
"Silly girl, what nonsense do you say? You and San Niang are both daughters of A Niang, and they are equally distressed." When Ling said this, he had no confidence in his heart.
For the eldest daughter, she does have a favorite candidate, but it is not absolute.
And for the marriage of the Liu family, Ling's idea is that the water will not flow to outsiders' fields. Naturally, he doesn't want this good thing to be surpassed by a concubine. But when hearing Shaohua say this, Ling's heart is also a little difficult. She is also her own daughter. Because Wan Hua is raised by her side, she has more thoughts about her lifelong events. Shaohua is two years younger than Wanhua, but she has to worry about marriage.
Wanhua has similar ideas to Ling's, but she is not as burdened as Ling's. She thought that Shaohua was just worried about Yichen's future career, so she said with a straight face, "Wu Niang, this is your right. If you marry the Liu family, there will certainly be no shortage of your glory and wealth. How is the Liu family's official career? In the future, there will be uncles and elder brothers to support you. Will it be a loss?
Shaohua rolled her eyes secretly and slandered: If there is such a good thing, how can she not rush to go by herself?
"The third sister is also a little opposed to Liu Jialangjun." Shaohua refers to Chen's behavior just now, and Wan Hua suddenly stopped talking.
But Shaohua's purpose is to impress the Ling family, not to struggle with Wan Hua about this small problem. "Mother, with the identity of grandfather, uncle, and father, why don't we sisters worry about not find Ruyi Langjun, even ten times better than Liu's brother. Besides, it's not a hard matter now. Even if we don't get married, the Li family is not without a suitable candidate. Instead of guarding one empty and failing in the end, it's better to look at some Langjun. Maybe there is a suitable candidate, but we don't have to be the Liu family.
Hearing this, Ling was relieved. Because of the arrival of the Yichen brothers and sisters, Ling's eyes were more or less limited.
It can be said by Shaohua, but it is logical. After all, according to Liu's words, Yichen went to Beijing for Qiu Yan and did not mention his in-laws. It is only because the right time, place and people have to move forward.
Since the clan has not yet made a decision, why did she give up the beautiful young man in the capital because of Yichen's grass?
Thinking about this, Ling suddenly had the impulse to bring his daughter to the door again.
Wanhua blushed beside him, twisted Shaohua's arm and scolded, "You girl, who taught you this whole mind? I can't see that you are young. How can you remember this? And let your mother look at each other. You are really, really... not shy. Speaking of which, the blush on Wanhua's face has been stained to his ears.
Shaohua spread her hands and didn't take it seriously at all. If it hadn't been for the emperor's order, she would have married the person she liked in her last life.
If you don't fight for marriage, who else will fight back the Ruyi Langjun in your heart for you. I'm telling the truth. Why don't you become shy? Don't the third sister want to marry the person she likes? Shaohua's words made Wanhua more embarrassed. He only stamped his feet with a red face and asked his mother for help.
"Wuniang, who taught you this?" Although Ling believes that her daughter is naturally intelligent, she always feels that the 13-year-old girl is so far-reaching and unreliable.
"Grandfather! The old man told me that if he didn't fight for it, he would never get what he wanted. Shaohua silently pleaded guilty to the old man of the Ling family and pretended to replace him again.
From the tone of others, it can be seen that the old man Ling is extremely fond of this granddaughter raised by himself, so it is not too much to be more tolerant and indulgent to her.
Especially knowing that the Ling family rarely set foot in the capital, even during the Spring Festival, they let their eldest grandson come and never leave Pu'an. Although no one knows the reason, Shaohua dared to push everything to the old man Ling, and they would not run to prove it.
Thinking of his confused marriage in those years, Ling suddenly understood what his father said to Shaohua and couldn't help sighing, "Everything must be fought for."
In fact, when the Li family came to propose marriage for Erlang Li Xunzhuo, if Ling himself did not want to, Mr. Ling would not force it. But although she had a grudge in her heart, she still didn't say anything. After listening to her mother's advice, she closed her eyes and got married.
It was not until after Men Ling did he know that Li Xunzhuo had a person in his heart. On the night of the bridal chamber, listening to her husband shouting other women's names, she was angry and kicked him out of the door. When she recovered, her husband had been in the maidservant's room. If it hadn't been for the identity of her aunt, I'm afraid Li Xunzhuo would not have taken the initiative to bow to Ling.
Waiting for her turn, she wanted to show her goodwill with her husband, but she repeatedly broke up because of the discord between the two.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Ling's silence made Shaohua a little uneasy and worried that his nature was exposed too much, which made Ling suspicious.
Ling looked at Shaohua's carefulness and suddenly smiled, "Your grandfather wants to give you to Yanlang. My mother understands that I will consider it."
"No, no, A Niang..." Shaohua was immediately dumbfounded. This Yanlang was a wolf. He had something to do with her.
Without waiting for Shaohua to finish speaking, the little boy beside Li Xunzhuo came in to say hi. Ling's expression condensed, and there was a faint bad feeling in his heart. Sure enough, Qian Chuaner said, "Madam, the master said that he would not come to dinner tonight, so you don't have to wait for him."
Wan Hua listened and was so angry that his face bulged. He looked at Ling's calm face and complained, "Mother, Dad must have been hooked by the fox spirit again. No, you have to ask someone to find him back."
"Come back." Ling called Wanhua and thought for a moment, "Let's see if Hachiro has finished his homework and is ready to eat."
Wanhua complained about his mother's inaction and left angrily. After Shaohua pleaded guilty to Ling, he quickly caught up with Wanhua's footsteps.
