Chapter 145 Mother-daughter quarrel, the storm is gradually brewing
Originally, Grandma Li brought her daughter to Jinyangjing and has been living in the Duke of Wei. Even Su Ke got married to the Li family, and she did not plan to move out. Later, because of her repeated provocations, the Li family, who was still a little gentle and gentle, quickly became domineering. The eldest princess couldn't stand it and bought a two-way house. "Invited" Grandma Li to settle down and gave Grandma Li two shops. Although she was not good at management, she could also rent it out, and the rental money was enough to maintain her food and clothing.
This pair of widowed mothers and orphan daughters originally came to Jinyang because they were helpless. They didn't want to marry into a rich family. Grandma Li's family somehow got the news, and people kept coming to "recognize their relatives" one after another.
What seven aunts, eight aunts, and uncles in a separate room are cheap nephews one after another all year round.
Grandma Li is a shrewd person. Naturally, she will not let people take advantage of her for nothing. Most of them were rejected by her. Only one cousin, who was separated by 3,000 miles, was coaxing Grandma Li to recognize her adopted son and camp in Jinyang Jingli.
At present, the marriage that Grandma Li mentioned to the second mother is the "consom friend" that the adopted son made.
"Although that family is a businessman, it is really rich. I have been to his house once. Although it is not as good as the state government, the furnishings in the family, whether gold or jade, are more brilliant than these nobles. You haven't seen that a plum tree in the old grandmother's yard somehow died a few years ago. Grandma missed the past and said that her married daughter planted it herself and was reluctant to remove it, so she let her son beat thousands of gold leaves and filled a whole plum tree!"
When Grandma Li said this, she seemed to see the rocking gold tree again, and her eyes emitted a golden light: "Your brother has made it clear. Although his family only has more than a dozen shops in Kyoto, I also said that it is incomplete in Huguang, southern Zhejiang, Longxi, horizontal and vertical places. In short, from silk jewelry to wine There are hundreds of industries in the teahouse, which are really rich and not fake at all! The most important thing is that this family has only one male grandson at present. At first glance, he is a blessed child with a fat head and big ears. Although Er Niang is a few years old, there is a saying that there is a female junior holding gold bricks. They don't mind that the second mother comes from a noble background. Although the family is rich, she has to hold her like a mother. You will never be idle. Where can you find such a suitable marriage!"
Grandma Li clapped her legs and swung her palms. After a long talk, she took a break and drank a large cup of tea. Only then did she notice that her daughter collapsed a few miles and looked at her weakly. She was not ecstatic as she thought. Grandma Li was worried about the opposition of the eldest princess and Su Ke, and patted her chest: "Uncle If that's not an angry word, my mother-in-law will have to teach him a lesson. Although the second mother is his daughter, how can she fall to the ground without you in October? It is said that marriage follows the order of her parents. Without you, the mother, you can't be the master, and only let your grandmother make a decision. The government is a famous family, and the mother-in-law is still a princess of a country. The common people understands the reason. Is she confused? Don't be afraid, there is still me. As long as I have one day, I have to fight for your mother and daughter.
said that he was going to slide down the kang. This time, Li didn't stop him and said with a smile, "My mother, if you want to toss around, just go, it's your own idea. Don't wrap me around."
Grandma Li just tasted something wrong. She stood on the ground and looked at the Li family with a crooked eye and shouted suspiciously, "Listen, do you still dislike this marriage?"
"I have a bad life and devoted myself to civilian families, but the second mother is a fake daughter. Even if she has a mother like me, my grandmother is the eldest princess, the only daughter of Gaozu, and the eldest uncle is the Duke of Wei. No matter how bad my father is at present, he is also a five-grade official of the court. Aunt, you can replace your granddaughter. The marriage, the grandson of the merchant's family, and the fat ears... You can argue with your mother-in-law and see if you can step into the gate of the duchy in the future!"
Grandma Li rarely "does not know what's good or wrong" and was stunned on the ground for a moment: "What's the use of just being a noble status! I still regret that I didn't know the place at that time, and I didn't have any experience. I just thought that the government was the most prosperous person in the world and let you get married. Originally, I wanted to eat and drink spicy food. As a result, what do you have now? What's good for me? You can't even clean up a concubine's room, so I guarded two dilapidated shops and rely on rent for food. There are only 20 rooms in the front and back of that house, and the two yards have been strolled in less than 100 steps. It can be regarded as marrying a daughter for nothing, so I sent me away.
"It turned out that my mother was planning to sell women, but she still felt that she didn't sell me at a good price? And I don't think that we were helpless at the beginning. If it hadn't been for my parents-in-heartily, I wouldn't even have a place to settle down. I didn't say that I didn't know anything. There were nobles everywhere in Kyoto, and there were palaces not far away. You could still sell me to the heavenly family! That is, my parents-in-law still remembered my grandfather's kindness and accepted us. At present, I plan to sell my granddaughter. The second mother is not as unreliable as I am. You'd better calm down and don't think about it. If the second mother is not from a noble background, but just a poor background, the rich chamber of commerce will marry her only son and give you a place to settle down for your grandmother?
Li's ability to say such a thing is thanks to the credit of Si Niang's frequent guidance, and after more than ten years of "noble woman" career, she has more or less increased her knowledge. How can she quarrel with her mother-in-law and husband for this unreliable marriage, but for Grandma Li, she has never Once touched such a big wall in front of her daughter, she squatted on the kang. She was about to cry and complain about Li's unfilial piety, so she put on a posture. Before she could cry, the maid beside Li lifted the curtain inside and reported that Aunt Chen heard that Grandma Li was coming, so she came to greet her.
To say, this aunt Chen was still after the beginning of Mei's family. Grandma Li was worried that her daughter would become spoiled, so she let the beautiful maid who was found by the adopted son outside send her over for "fixed favor". Originally, she had some relationship with her, but it was not abrupt at this time.
So Grandma Li gave up her plan to fool around, took back the handkerchief that had just taken out, sat firmly on the edge of the kang, watched Aunt Chen come in gracefully, and asked for warmth with a smile on her face. The big face of the silver plate seemed to be full of frost, but the rouge was too red to show the coldness, only one His sharp eyes have been staring at Aunt Chen's clenched waist.
Li's rare harmony with Aunt Chen - since Aunt Chen entered the house, not to mention the rules, and the most important thing is that she was completely unpopular with Su Ke. Until this time, she was still a virgin, and Li Shi did not think she was "useless". The two lived peacefully and looked at each other.
But Grandma Li hated Aunt Chen's empty skin. Her daughter had paved the way for her and directly lifted her aunt, but she did not play the slightest role. Although Aunt Chen came to the Duke's mansion every time, Aunt Chen came to do her best, but she could never escape a scolding of Grandma Li.
Today, it is still the same.
Aunt Chen stood aside, holding her breath and scolding next to her, never saying a word.
Grandma Li finally felt bored, so she snorted coldly and said to Li, "What about Mei, you should come to set rules with her."
"She is also a small jasper. I still know this courtesy. I can't pick out her mistake on the surface, and I can't stand her hypocritical appearance, and I'm even more impatient to let her wander in front of my eyes." Li's still leaned, and said this was really reluctant: "It's also God's will. The second master has put all his mind on her. After so many years, there has been no movement in her stomach. I have inquired about it. It turned out that she fell into the water on a snowy day in the boudoir, thinking that she had frozen her body. She deserved it."
"Madam, my concubine is feeling bad about something and wants to tell you." Aunt Chen interrupted at this time, and the smile on her face restrained. She looked at Grandma Li with some trembling.
"What? But what kind of flowers does that Mei have? It is inevitable that Leh will be nervous.
It should be said that Aunt Chen, because she is kind to people, not only gets along well with Li, but also gets along well with the maids below. There are many things in Aunt Mei's yard that she always pay attention to and inquire everywhere, so that the Li can master one or two. It is for this reason that Li not only does not embarras Aunt Chen, but to She is so dependent.
About a month ago, Aunt Mei mentioned that she had a relative in front of Su Ke. Now she is a common acquaintance in Youzhou. She has a legitimate son who is only 17 years old. It is said that she is talented and virtuous, but she is a good match. She persuaded Su Ke to consider marrying her second mother. Su Ke also seriously said that she went to the eldest princess. She was very moved by her words. Knowing that, he was so angry that Su Ke decided not to let Li intervene in Er Niang's marriage. No matter how much Li cried, he was not moved.
Fortunately, the eldest princess also felt that her daughter's marriage could not be interfered by the concubine and refused her son's proposal. Only then did Li sigh long and hated Mei to the bone more. She wanted to teach her a lesson, but Aunt Mei was "infected with cold" again. Su Ke strictly warned Li not to embarrass her.
Today, Lishi doesn't want to make things difficult, just afraid of Su Ke, so he swallowed his anger.
At this time, when she heard Aunt Chen's words, she was not worried.
"My concubine inquired about the monthly letter of Aunt Mei, which seems to be more than half a month late..."
"That's not good!" Grandma Li immediately became furious and slapped hard, making the tea cup jump.
Li's face was also as white as paper, paralyzed on the pillow and couldn't speak for a long time.
So that's it. What caught the wind and cold, lying in bed, and the result is pregnancy! Su Ke must know about this matter and only hide her from the secret! Thanks to her listening to Si Niang's persuasion, she swallowed her anger these days and only thought that if she restrained her temperament, she could make him change his mind!
"After all, I am his wife, and he hides it from me..." Li's eyes turned red and unconsciously choked: "Am I so vicious that will harm his bloodline? I can't ask about my daughter's marriage. Even a concubine is pregnant, and I was hidden in the drum... Has he ever thought I was his wife?"
"Go, let me ask my mother-in-law what's going on!"
Grandma Li finally got what she wanted this time, dragged Li's lower kang and strode away aggressively to the far Yingtang.
