boudoir

Chapter 153 Move out of the main courtyard!

Originally, every year at three o'clock and four o'clock, the mansion would hold a family banquet in the main courtyard, but this year, due to the enthusiasm of the old lady, each house celebrated it by itself.

In the morning Liuli went to the long room to accompany Aunt Su, and at noon the old man went to the yamen to answer Mao and came back with a basket of fresh lychees, because there were not many, so he didn't send them to each room, but called Liuli to share half of the basket.Liuli asked Rui'er to share three more, one for Aunt Su, one for Guo Xia, and one for herself.At noon, I had dinner with the old man in the main courtyard.

While each house came to say hello to the old lady, Liuli sat in the courtyard and read a book, and Yuegui suddenly said that Chunxiang had come.

Chunxiang came to her to see the ceremony, and said: "Madam and young masters have come to pay their respects to the old lady, and the girls are also here. The old lady invites nine girls to come over for tea."

Liuli then put away the book, washed her hands and put on her make-up, and went to Anxi Hall.

As usual, the group should disperse after the greetings, but when they arrived at the main hall, the Liang family, Qi family, Nie family and the girls were still there. When Huanhua saw Liuli, he beckoned her to come forward, and Liuli congratulated everyone He sat down beside Huanhua.Shuhua said: "Jiu'er hid in the house and went to peel the lychees?" Liu Li said: "How can I? I'm waiting for you to come and eat."

Today Xie's and Ruan's are also present, and Yuhua is teaching Ruimin how to wear beaded flowers. Hearing this, he turns around and smiles.Suhua said: "Since that's the case, we will go to her room later. Whoever taught the old lady to be partial, only give Liuli."

Shuhua heard this, looked at Liuli and said: "It's no wonder the old man, who let Liuli live in the main courtyard?"

Liuli nodded: "That's right, if you are close, the old man will give it to you."

Yuhua straightened up, turned around and sat down, and said: "Speaking of which, at the beginning Liuli lived in the main courtyard because she wanted to serve the old lady, and now the old lady has passed away for almost half a year, and the old lady is often not in the house, which affects Aunt Su's body." It's not very good, it's good for you to have someone to talk with, and I want to chat with you when I have nothing to do, why don't you just move back."

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that many people's nerves were touched, and they all looked this way.Liuli couldn't prevent her from making such a sudden move, and was immediately speechless.Mrs. Qi was silent for a while, then said: "Miss San is very right. Miss Ninth is the head of the family after all, and living alone in the main courtyard is not justified. Besides, you also recognized Aunt Su as your mother. What's the point of living in two places after recognizing my mother? It's better to move back."

Why doesn't Liuli understand Qi's intentions, if she moves out of the main courtyard, then the big Kutong card she holds in her hand will have to be handed over, and the little bit of power she has grasped will be lost. A little bit of prestige turned into mud again!
Another point is that Yuhua asked her to move back, so she must have no good intentions. She lives in Yishouyuan, and it is not so convenient for Yuhua to do something to trick her. As long as she moves back to the long room, then It became her world, wouldn't it be easy to cause her some trouble?Liuli was worried about this, so she made up her mind to stay in the main courtyard, and Qi Shi also saw the way, so she wished that there would be chaos in the long room, so why didn't she take the opportunity to add fuel to the flames?

I can't help but hate her to the bone.He also thought that Yuhua kept showing her favor all the time, so it turned out that it was because of this!I was very frustrated, but there was nothing I could do.The Qi family's reason is too strong, pulling out Aunt Su, how can she resist at this moment.After thinking for a while, he said: "What the third lady said is very true. As a child, you should serve your parents. I have also mentioned this to my mother, but my mother said that I live in the long house and go to Wutongyuan to go to school. If it is inconvenient, it is better to live in the main courtyard, so I will obey her."

She talked and smiled slightly, and no one could blame her. After a while, Mrs. Qi said: "Aunt Su is really worrying too much. Nine girls are not the only ones going to school. Isn't there three girls in the long room?" ? You are even more delicate than the third girl, so you can't walk a few steps?"

While talking, she looked at Yuhua, Yuhua just smiled and said nothing.

But she didn't speak, but it seemed more useful than speaking.Mrs. Liang, who was sitting next to her, who had been silent all this time, also found out some ways at this moment, looking at the two people and then at the old man.The old man has always been slow to respond to housework disputes, and it seems that he has never thought about expressing his position on this matter.Mrs. Qi took silk to seal the corners of her lips, and said, "I'd better ask the old man to make a decision."

Liuli said: "The old master has been in the copybook for the past few days and asked me to study the ink beside him. If I go to the long room, wouldn't it be troublesome to run around?"

Mrs. Qi twitched the corners of her mouth: "What do the servants in the main courtyard do? You need to work for the master's girl to study ink. According to what you say, the whole courtyard can be kicked out."

Liuli knew that Qi's family was full of hope that the long house would not go down, but she was so relentless that it made people very annoyed, it's a pity that Aunt Su is not here, and there is not even anyone who can help turn around at the moment, Yuhua is so bold as to resort to With Qi's evil intentions to achieve her goal, she also knew that she couldn't get around this matter today, so she shut her mouth and said no more.

The old man took a sip of tea, looked at Liuli, "I will follow your third aunt's order, and move it back."

When she came here to have a bowl of tea, she was calculated by others, not to mention how depressed Liuli was, and she didn't have a good face when she returned to Yishou Garden.Rui'er knows that she is arrogant in her heart, and she had to keep her head down in the past two years, but now she has finally defeated Shi Yu, and after a few days of comfortable life, Qi Shi has come to add trouble again, so she inevitably feels aggrieved .For a moment, she didn't know if she had any countermeasures, and she didn't dare to ask Yuegui and the others to pack up, so she just went to the long room and told Aunt Su.

Aunt Su was also silent for a while when she heard the news, and finally came to Yishou Garden with her.

Liuli swayed on the bed for a while, got up and was about to put on her makeup and go to Anxi Hall to accompany the old man for dinner, when she saw Aunt Su coming, she stopped for a while.

Aunt Su said: "It's fine to move back, the matter of the long house must be settled. Yuhua is already sixteen, and no one has come to Huaininghou's mansion today, maybe he has no intention of getting married. .Even if you are not accused of being married to the Qi Mansion, you won't be able to stay in the mansion for long. Before she gets married, there will be a storm. Even if the old lady doesn't let you move back today, she will definitely find a way to let Mrs. Yu come out, because Only when Mrs. Yu is around, will she have backing after she gets married."

Only then did Liuli realize that it was already almost noon and no one came from the Marquis of Huaining. Could it be that the eldest princess really gave up on this idea?But right now is not the time to care about this. Aunt Su's words are very reasonable. It can be said that half of Yuhua's status in the mansion over the past ten years has been supported by Mrs. Yu. The contacts with You Cheng's mansion will also fade away a lot. No matter if she marries into Du's mansion or Qi's mansion, her natal family's connections and status are definitely an advantage for her. She gets it out.

"So what does mother mean to say, let me move back, and just cut off Yuhua's delusion?"

Aunt Su sighed, walked to the window and looked at the plantains in front of the courtyard, "Leave Yuhua aside, let's talk about Mrs Yu. Even if she is imprisoned now, she is always looking for opportunities to come out. Now there is an old man who is suppressing her." She can't help it, if the old lady has a mistake, gets sick or passes away, then our troubles will be even greater. Years later, Yuhua went to Yu's place frequently, and when he suddenly approached you this time, he probably already discussed it Something happened, Yuhua happened to be married at this time, so let her do it first. Even if she fails, there will always be the day when the old man passes away."

Liuli nodded slowly: "After the old man passes away, the family will be separated. After the separation, Ting Yu Tingfang and the others will naturally try their best to keep her out. Besides, the old man doesn't really want to divorce her. It may be expedient to shut her up." It is a plan. Both of us were born as long-term householders, even if the family is separated, we can't avoid this level. When Mrs. Yu becomes the wife of Ducha Censor's Mansion at that time, and then takes over the power of the family, by then, our two The real crisis is here."

Aunt Su sighed out of the window: "So, Mrs Yu's immortality is ultimately a serious problem."

Liuli was silent, not regaining consciousness for a long time.

Ever since, it was a foregone conclusion for Liuli to move back to the long room.After Aunt Su left, Liuli's mood returned to normal, and after sitting for a while, she told Rui'er to start packing in the afternoon.

Finally, no one came to Huaininghou's mansion. Although Liuli judged from the frequency of Du Rui's coming to the mansion, she didn't think it meant that Yuhua might not have a relationship with Du Rui to a certain extent, but many people in the mansion were also quietly paying attention to this matter. According to the news, Rui'er went to the big kitchen once, and heard a lot of discussions, all guessing that Yuhua's abandonment by the Du family was related to Yu's loss of power.

Of course, there is some truth in saying this, after all, a family status like the Huaining Hou's Mansion is all about status, and your degree of dignity just determines your chances of winning.But Du Rui doesn't look like such a person who has no idea, maybe he has his plan, who stipulates that if you want to marry her, you have to hurry up before Marshal Qi returns to court?

Thinking that Du Rui was with Yu Hua, Liu Li felt a little bored.She found that she had paid a lot of attention to the affairs between Yuhua and him recently, even a little deeply, which seemed to have exceeded the scope of concern that a concubine should care about, and she felt a little uneasy.

Shuhua Huanhua knew that Liuli was going to be moved, so she also came to sit with her at night.Huanhua was happy and sad at the same time: "I'm happy that you and the third sister are so close. In the long room, you can play with the third sister and the seventh sister. What worries me is that once you leave, we If I want to find you, I have to go to the long room, I am not so comfortable anymore."

Shuhua was not as outgoing as she was, she just waved her fan and stared at Liuli.Liuli felt uncomfortable being looked at by her, so she said: "Why do you keep looking at me?" She smiled and said, "I see how many layers of skin you have." Said: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Shuhua continued: "If you don't have a few layers of skin, how can you withstand all kinds of beatings?"
