Rebirth of the original wife

Chapter 16

It was the old lady who helped her, "Mu Yin, Mama Jiang wants to embroider a screen, so draw a pattern for her!"

Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and left with Liu's arm, her heart ached, Qin Muyin was the only man in the house, and the old lady didn't like to go out, so she entrusted Qin Muyin with everything, including painting and drawing. As a daughter-in-law, what did she do? She didn't share the burden, she dragged Qin Muyin back.

On the way, Mrs. Liu asked her how she was doing in the Hou's mansion, and Li Wan answered absent-mindedly. Mrs. Liu noticed that her expression was not right, so she touched her forehead, "What's the matter, are you still in good health?"

"No, mother, I feel better, but I haven't seen mother for a long time, and I'm thinking too hard!"

Mrs. Liu sighed, "Mother misses you too. You are no better than being at home when you are married. It is also difficult for Mother to meet. By the way, are there other people in the Hou Ye's room?"

Li Wan shook her head, Qin Muyin was very indifferent, how could there be anyone else?After entering the Huaxian courtyard, Li Wan ordered someone to pour tea, Zi Shu stood at the door, hesitating to speak, Li Wan glanced around, guessing that Zi Qing was making a fuss, and Zi Lan needed help.

"Purple Potato, call Zixin to serve you, you go and help Zilan!"

Liu was curious, "What did Zi Lan do?"

Li Wan shook her head, "It's nothing, Master Hou wants to drink chicken soup tonight, and Zilan killed the chicken!"

Liu looked away, and Zixin entered the room. She took the teacup and thought of Ziqing, "Why don't you see Ziqing? I met her on the way to Jing'an Courtyard!"

Li Wan's eyes turned cold, for a moment, she said calmly, "I guess I'm busy, mother, is there something wrong in the house?"

Li Zhongqing served as the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment. A few days ago, several people escaped from prison.

"Have you found the people who escaped from prison?"

This was what Ziqing told her in her previous life. During the Chinese New Year, she went to Yunyin Temple to offer incense and wanted to conceive a child as soon as possible. Ziqing told her that someone escaped from prison two months ago. Yunyin Temple is located in a remote place. It will be miserable.

Li Wan was timid, and she was terribly afraid, not to mention a group of desperate gangsters, and Ziqing's scary words, she immediately stopped thinking about going to Yunyin Temple.

Thinking about it again, what happened two months ago, Ziqing told her only after Chinese New Year that she didn't want her to go to Yunyin Temple to offer incense and beg for a child.

She counted the days, and the prison escape happened in the past few days.

She remembered that the person who escaped from prison was not found, and the emperor punished Li Zhongqing to contemplate at home for three months, during which time his salary was suspended, and her mother was in charge of the money in Li's mansion, and it was almost stretched. She talked about this and wanted to disperse the Liu family Be careful, don't put your mind on Liu Jinyuan.

Mrs. Liu sighed, with a distressed look on her face. If it hadn't been for the escape, she would not have come to the Hou's Mansion. Something happened to the Criminal Department, and the people above were watching closely. , was caught by Yushitai, and his official position could not be kept.

"Hey, your father didn't say anything. He left early and returned late. He probably hasn't found anyone yet. Tell me, after entering the prison, surrounded by officials and servants, why did he escape?" Li Zhongqing didn't talk about the court at home. , and she doesn't know the details.

"Mom, if dad doesn't say anything, he doesn't want you to worry, so don't think too much!"

After the new year, the emperor will punish Li Zhongqing. Now, there are still two months before the new year, just find someone.

"Yes, there is your father, but your father's life is not easy, and he can't sleep all night. I heard from Jin Yuan that the emperor set a time limit for the Ministry of Punishment. If you don't catch him back after the time limit, your father's career will be over. !" Speaking of Li Zhongqing's official career, Liu Shi came to her senses and told her, "You and Master Hou are revealing about this matter. Something really happened. Let Master Hou help your father. He managed to get into this position with great difficulty. easy!"

Li Zhongqing won the election at the age of 30, and went to the county seat to serve as the county magistrate for two years. If it weren't for a prince of the royal family who passed by the county town and received his favor and support, Li Zhongqing might still be a small county magistrate today.

Her father's official position was stopped at Zuo Shilang's place in his previous life, so I don't know if he was implicated by the prison escape incident.

"Wan'er, mother came here to tell you another matter. Listen, see if there is a way!" Liu Shi didn't want to talk about Li Zhongqing anymore, and talked about other things.

Li Wan lowered her head, her expression was unclear, Liu didn't want to wait for her to answer, and said to herself, "Your cousin won the Jinshi, you also know that your uncle's family is supported by your cousin. He studied hard. When you were young I also said that my cousin will be the number one scholar, and now the emperor's official position transfer order has not been issued, fearing that it will change, you can tell Hou Ye, let him think of a way to assign an official position to your cousin, and he will be in Beijing! "

Mrs. Liu's family is in the town, and her family background is average. Mrs. Liu followed Li Zhongqing and got used to the prosperity of the capital. She wanted to bring her family over, but the capital needed money everywhere, and Mrs. Liu bought a house for her family, which was exhausted The way, the livelihood depends on Liu Jinyuan.

Li Wan took a sip of tea. She ate at noon and her stomach was full, and she was still uncomfortably bloated. She knew about the fact that her mother bought a house for her grandfather and uncle's behind her father's back. Just because she knew, she hated Liu Jinyuan even more.

"Mother, I never ask about Lord Hou's affairs. Besides, the emperor didn't give Lord Hou an official position. Lord Hou probably won't be able to help you much. Cousin won a Jinshi, and the official post should be transferred soon. Tell your cousin, hold on!"

Liu Shi was startled, as if she didn't expect Li Wan to reject her.

For a moment, Liu was speechless.

Li Wan changed the subject and asked about other matters in the mansion, and Mrs. Liu responded one by one. When she left, Mama Jiang beside the old lady brought a gift. Li Wan felt awkward, and Mama Jiang took care of her emotions and explained, "Madam Jiang Having said that, there are few people in the mansion, and there are so many bird’s nests and ginseng storehouses that you can’t finish them, so you can give them away, and the in-laws have a large population, so it’s best to help share some of it!”

Among them are cloth, jade and gold hairpins.

When Mrs. Liu got into the carriage, Li Wan turned around and called to Mama Jiang who was walking to the door, "Mama Jiang!"

Mother Jiang paused, turned around, and her face returned to normal, unlike the smile just now.

Li Wan lowered her head, feeling guilty, she forgot what to say, thought for a while, and said, "I learned a few new side dishes, and I made them for Lord Hou at noon, he said they were delicious, so in the evening, I will make them for the old lady? "
