Chapter 17 Gan Geyu and silk
When a Ling couple quarrels, they inevitably find Wanhua to do peacemakers.
At least from her impression, every time Li Xunzhuo quarreled with his wife, Cui's mother would make her pretend to cry to divert their attention. The most peaceful day was nothing more than when Shaohua was born. Li Xunzhuo did not blame her for having two daughters in a row. Because Su has never come out, Li Xunzhuo is also a year old. He is also satisfied to see two pink little daughters playing on his knees.
The birth of Jinhua once again ignited the fuse between husband and wife. It can be said that Ling is a woman who is not qualified to be a patriarchal woman, because she is straightforward, small-minded and caring. The most important thing is that she has no means. Su secretly poured down the Wuzi soup and became pregnant with a child. In order to hide it from everyone, she even deliberately made Li Xunzhuo angry and snolded herself. Until two months before the birth, the weather was so hot that I couldn't cover it with clothes, and I couldn't stand closing the door and blocking the house. Finally, I was found.
When Ling knew that Su was secretly pregnant with a child, she was so angry that she ran to Huan Siyuan and slapped Su twice. Normally, it is natural for a wife to be a concubine, but this concubine is the good of the male master. Ling was still angry and smashed her room. When Li Xunzhuo came, he only saw his big belly and crying his pitiful concubine and his fierce wife.
When Shaohua listened to Cui's mother's nagging about her changes in Pu'an and her family over the years, Shaohua was stunned. How can there be such a brain-threwracking mother? No wonder Ling is always bullied by her aunt.
No matter what, even if the one who kneels on the ground is not a favorite concubine, Li Xunzhuo will not stand on Ling's side for the child in her belly.
And this resentment has been entangled until the appearance of the passer-by. When he sent Shaohua to Pu'an, Ling cried for several nights. For Ling, who has no minions, Li Xunzhuo still can't bear it, softened his temper, and has been a loving couple with her for several months. It was not until Simo was born that he finally pulled Li Xunzhuo's heart to the middle of the sky.
In Shaohua's words: Ling deserves to suffer so many years of grievances. It is clear that she pushed her husband out. Who can stop him? Therefore, after Wanhua talked about the way Ling and Li Xunzhuo quarreled, Shaohua was more sure that everything was stoned by Ling himself.
When the sisters rushed to Xiyuan, Ling's eyes were red and staring at Li Xunzhuo. Judging from the bloody eyes, they should have cried fiercely.
"I tell you, she won't want to marry her daughter in her life! If you want to marry, you can only marry the lowest bitch. Ling roared.
"You! Let me tell you, Sanniang is my daughter, and Qi Niang is also my daughter. What kind of dowry dowry do you prepare for Sanniang? You have to prepare the same for Qi Niang in the future. Without the same, I will compensate her for three things!" Li Xunzhuo usually looks kind and talkative, and he is unscrupulous when he gets angry.
"Do you dare?!" Ling was obviously shocked and glucked her teeth with anger, "A common daughter with a lowly life is also worthy of my wife, ah!"
"Who are you talking about, bitch!" Li Xunzhuo drank.
"Who else can be? Even if you are cheap, teach your daughter the same way, but learn to seduce men at a young age!" Ling completely regarded Li Xunzhuo's anger as nothing, and scolded happily with a quick headache in his heart.
"A Niang!"
Wanhua heard his mother's voice early in the yard and rushed in eagerly. Shaohua followed closely and heard Ling's words, he couldn't wait to gag her mouth with a piece of cloth. I don't understand what it means to add fuel to the fire and add insult to the snow. No wonder Li Xunzhuo stays in Huansiyuan all year round.
The maids hiding outside the door were relieved to see the Shaohua sisters coming back and finally saw the savior.
"Mom, Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you quarreling again!" Wanhua motioned Shaohua to help quickly.
Before Shaohua opened his mouth, Ling hugged Wanhua and began to wail in pain. His crying was quite rhythmically, "My son, my third mother, your decent eldest granddaughter of the Li family was actually regarded as a cheap concubine. Our mother and daughter have such no status in the Li family, so it's better to go back to Pu'an. Anyway, no one in this family has regarded me as the right wife, and no one will treat you as a young lady.
Wanhua rubbed his swollen forehead, and Ling Shi would do this as soon as he was sad. Li Xunzhuo regarded the concubine's daughter as his daughter at most, and never treated her as a concubine's daughter, let alone whether others regarded her as the right wife.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard Ling's crying, Li Xunzhuo fell heavily on the last bowl on the table and was about to go out angrily.
Shaohua saw something wrong. He was afraid that Li Xunzhuo would leave and that it would be difficult to persuade him to come back. Without saying a word, he knelt down in front of Li Xunzhuo and just blocked his way. She accidentally crushed the porcelain pieces, which made her frown in pain, but she didn't dare to move. Lifting his little face, tears have filled his eyes. With just a blink of an eye, tears can fall out.
"Wuniang, why are you doing this? Get up!" Li Xunzhuo was scared by Shaohua's appearance and bent down to help her up.
"Dad, please let your daughter go back to Pu'an." Shaohua's words made Ling forget to cry and look at her dryly.
In order to make tears cry more realistically, Shaohua secretly pinched his thighs, suddenly burst into tears, and then began to choke: "They all say that I am the disaster star of my family. As long as I go home, I will always feel restless. Dad, let me go back. As long as you don't quarrel with your mother, you can treat me as a daughter, okay?"
Even if he was angry and attacked his heart, he saw that Shaohua was so pitiful and compromised, Li Xunzhuo was also born to swallow his anger.
"Silly girl, what does this have to do with you? We didn't quarrel because of you." Li Xunzhuo was sadd by Shaohua's words.
When he sent his sensible second daughter to Yue's house, she cried so heartbreakingly. But in order to raise a son, he still took care of Shaohua who was crying all the way. Although it has been a long time, in retrospect, Li Xunzhuo always felt that he owed to this daughter.
Ling also rushed over and hugged her, "You are not allowed to say such a thing. Who dares to say that you are a disaster? I tore her mouth!"
"Who chewed his tongue in front of the five ladies!" Li Xunzhuo roared at the door, and no one dared to come out to blame.
"However, they all said that my father, father, and mother were all fine and did not quarrel before." Shaohua cried so hard that his speech trembled, "Is it because I came back and robbed Qi Niang's share, so my father quarreled with my mother. Dad, I can return it to her. I don't want it, as long as my father and mother are fine. While sobbing and talking, Shaohua himself was so tired that he gasped.
Wanhua was trying to comfort her. Seeing Shaohua winking at her, he immediately understood.
Hearing Shaohua's words, Li Xunzhuo and his wife were suddenly stunned and silent.
Although they have always owed Shaohua, after all, they are not around, and it is inevitable that they will always forget her existence. Many things were only prepared for Wanhua and Jinhua. Finally, Ling remembered that she had a little daughter and directly allocated Jinhua's share to Shaohua without thinking about it. And the share of Jinhua is either less, or it is sent together.
Jinhua, who has been accustomed to being on an equal footing with Wanhua since childhood, has reduced his treatment because of the appearance of another sister, and it is inevitable that he will be dissatisfied. After complaining to Li Xunzhuo several times, Li Xunzhuo just comforted her and sent her other things. However, when Su knew the identity of Yichen, he immediately thought that Ling was going to marry Shaohua.
Because Wanhua is the eldest daughter and raised by the Li family, she is often taken out by the Ling family. She is well known to be knowledgeable and reasonable. It must not be difficult to find a happy man, and because Shaohua was raised in the countryside, Ling was afraid that she could not cope with the big scene and did not want her to suffer losses, so marrying the Liu family is the best choice. As for Jinhua, according to the relationship between the Ling family and the Su family, Jinhua was not married to a wild man in a poor and remote mountain village as his daughter-in-law, or given to a rich man of 70s and 80 as the ninth aunt, which is probably the magnanimity of the Ling family.
Su has always regarded Jinhua as her direct daughter, and because of Li Xunzhuo's favor, everything is comparable to Wanhua. But she always knew that Jinhua was a concubine. If Ling deliberately made things difficult, Jinhua would not marry Ruyi Langjun anyway.
But because her relationship with Ling has been an old enemy for many years, even if she is willing to bend down for her daughter, Ling may not be willing to buy her. Therefore, she can only find a way to find a good marriage for her daughter.
And the best candidate is nothing more than Yichen, who is studying in the house.
Especially when Su knew that the Li family had not yet decided on a candidate for in-law, Su was more actively and excited to come up with ideas for her daughter and tried to stuff Jinhua into Yichen's arms in the shortest time, even if she stuffed herself into Li Xunzhuo. It's just that Su forgot that her relationship with Li Xunzhuo was a master and servant. She got along with each other day and night, and was close to the platform. Now Jinhua and Yichen, not to mention the distance relationship, Yichen is only 17 this year, while Jinhua is only 12. Although Jinhua followed Su's appearance and began to look beautiful, he was still much younger.
So when Jinhua pretended to be supportive in front of Yichen, and the weak willow was facing the wind, Yichen only wondered why he met her here.
"What are you talking about? Can you be the same as Qi Niang? The gentleman has only taught the eldest and the young to be orderly, and the direct concubine is different. Qi Niang asked her husband to suspend school at home because of her rules. If you say this stupid thing to let you know, I'm afraid you won't teach you. Wanhua said harshly.
Because Li Xunzhuo has great respect for his father, and Li Ge Lao is very polite to Mother Rong, Li Xunzhuo also pays special attention to Mother Rong. You know, basically, the wife taught by Mummy Rong is the daughter-in-law that many families are scrambling for, so Li Xunzhuo specially softened Ling for Jinhua's sake, so that Jinhua, a concubine, is also qualified to go to Mummy Rong's school.
Li Xunzhuo was slightly surprised when he heard Wanhua's words. Did Jinhua suspend school because he was punished? But it was clear that Su said that her husband understood that her foot injury had not healed. Could it be that Jinhua lied to him?
Seeing that her parents calmed down, Wanhua nodded to Shaohua, indicating that she could end the scene, and she was responsible for cleaning up the aftermath. Dad, you sent us to your husband's school to learn the principles of life and the rules of doing things. The gentleman punished Qi Niang for breaking the rules a few days ago. Now his father is going to break the rules for her. I'm afraid he will be unhappy if he knows it.
"Sir, did you teach you to bully your sisters like this?" Li Xunzhuo said coldly.
"How can this be considered a bully!" Wanhua said with a serious face, "Please think about what I have had over the years and what Qi Niang has. Aunt has treated her badly. However, because of this indicubine, she developed her arrogance and beauty and forgot her identity. Now it's just that Wu Niang is back. Everyone is better to Wu Niang, and Qi Niang is not happy. Although she was raised as a legitimate wife in our family, in the eyes of outsiders, she is a common girl. Marrying to be the head wife can't change her identity. If she herself doesn't know this, no matter what kind of person she is promised, it is inevitable that something will happen to happen in the future.
Shaohua secretly gave his eldest sister a thumbs-up. Probably, only Wan Hua dared to say this to Li Xunzhuo. Perhaps because he has been a peacemaker for them all year round, Wanhua has already figured out his father's temperament and knew that his father always let her score three points, so he spoke with confidence.
In fact, Li Xunzhuo and Ling's personalities are quite similar, the same face-loving and the same temperament. As long as Li Xunzhuo is willing to be soft, even if he slightly exceeds the rules, as long as it is reasonable, he will still listen.
His love for Jinhua is because Jinhua is the crystallization of his love with Su, and the other is that Jinhua is smart and knows how to please people. As long as Li Xunzhuo likes it, she will try her best to learn. Knowing that Li Xunzhuo loves face, she will try her best to show her achievements to be praised by others. Looking at the little daughter working so hard but not as well as Wan Hua's image in the eyes of the elders, Li Xunzhuo couldn't help thinking that if Jinhua was not a concubine, she would be a treasure in the hearts of the elders.
So, as soon as he felt guilty, he was better for Jinhua.
Wan Hua saw that his father was a little shaken, gave Shaohua a wink and pulled his father aside and whispered, "Dad, you don't know your mother's temperament. Why can't you get along with her? She is just hot in her mouth. In the future, Qi Niang will go out, and no matter how much she saves, she will not lack her dowry. Besides, why don't you think about Wu Niang? At least Qi Niang has been by your side for so many years, what do you want? If you are more partial to Qi Niang, Wu Niang will go back and go back to Pu'an. If your grandfather knows, things will be even more difficult to deal with.
Li Xunzhuo is first afraid of his father, and the second fear is his father-in-law. After listening to Wanhua's words, he looked back at Shaohua, who was beside Ling's side and sighed helplessly, "That's all, I don't have the same knowledge as you."
Hearing this sentence, Wanhua fell into a big stone in his heart.
On the other side, Shaohua snuggled up to his mother and said softly, "Mom, don't be angry with your father. You are so angry with your father. What a loss you are."
"Go and go!" Ling didn't think about it.
Shao Hua secretly rolled his eyes and said that it would be a difficult task for Ling to get rid of this bad habit. If you can't convince people with reason, it's better to move people with emotion. She immediately lowered her eyelids and lowered her voice: "When I was in Pu'an, I always saw other girls accompanied by my mother and father, but I had nothing..."
Ling's other weakness is that she is soft and afraid of hard. As soon as she heard Shaohua's aggrieved voice, she immediately lost her temper. My good fifth mother, my mother is not angry. My mother is not angry with your father. In the future, my mother and father will be with you.
"Really?" Shaohua asked excitedly. After waiting for Ling's answer, he turned his head to look at Li Xunzhuo, "Dad, mother said that you will eat with me in Xiyuan in the future. Is it true?" Wan Hua's pupils opened slightly, and he couldn't help laughing, thinking that these five women were really exciting.
Li Xunzhuo was stunned and looked at Ling Shi. Seeing that she was also at a loss, he looked at Shaohua slowly turning from excitement to disappointment. Wanhua pulled his clothes. He came to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "It's true. I will stay in Xiyuan to accompany you to eat in the future."
Ling suddenly looked up, looked into her husband's eyes, hesitated for a moment, softened his eyes, and turned to the beginning.
Shaohua clapped his hands and replied with a smile, "That's great. I will also have my mother and father in the future."
Listening to their daughter's words, Li Xunzhuo and Ling's heart was sad, and their eyes looked at each other again were much warmer.
