Chapter 264
The women served a round of meat and seafood, and then another round of vegetables and mushrooms. The combination of meat and vegetables made all the ladies crooked.Everyone ate and chatted, regardless of everyone's demeanor, and a meal lasted for an hour.The women removed all the things, and the maids served thickly brewed black tea to the ladies.Li Shasha greeted everyone to drink this: "We just ate the old meat, and then drink some black tea from our hometown, it can help digestion, and everyone will not be bloated!" Everyone hurriedly picked up their cups of black tea and slowly Drink it slowly.Sure enough, after a while, my stomach didn't feel bloated.

After Zhang Ruixi finished drinking the black tea, she said to everyone: "Sisters, let's come to Sister Sha's house to get together at this time every year from now on. What do you think?" Then there was booing immediately: "That's good, it's just that There is no good wine, I feel a little regretful!" Li Shasha shook her head, these people are still the daughters of everyone, and they still want to drink after eating.

Yan Ziyan also said: "My family's lotus appreciation party this year, Sister Sha didn't make it, she will go to Daxing and stay for a long time. You can't miss the British government's chrysanthemum appreciation party in autumn tomorrow. It's gone." Li Shasha spread her hands together: "I still have to wait for Sister Zhang to give me a post. Without a post, I can't go there!" Zhang Keer, the eldest daughter of the British Crown Prince, immediately stood up and said, "As long as Sister Sha If you are willing to go, the post will be on my sister." Li Shasha hurriedly blessed her: "Then thank you sister Zhang, I will definitely come if I have the post!"

When everyone was spending time on the island, some people still remembered that they had to paddle boats to pick lotus flowers and lotus seeds. Li Shasha asked the painter to take everyone to the waterside pavilion. There were several small boats tied to the waterside pavilion. There is a boat lady and two women who can swim, but the ladies only let in two, so the insurance factor is much higher.When they left later, the big girls who followed the young lady all held more than a dozen lotus flowers in their hands.

Li Shasha saw off the last one, and it was already Youshi.It was really tiring to have a party, Li Shasha only felt that her legs were filled with lead, her throat was smoking, and her bones ached.Li Shasha also felt that she was corrupt. It turned out that although she didn't have to do much work in Lijia Village, she wouldn't say that she was so tired after playing with people for a day. It was at that time that she went up the mountain to pick up fungus, and it was okay to climb such a high mountain. .She didn't say anything, just lay down on the bed and went to rest.

As soon as he lay down, the adults in the family were startled.Mrs. Zheng and Lei Guozhen came to see her, and when Lei Guozhen saw that she couldn't even open her eyes, she said to Mrs. Zheng, "Mother, why don't you invite a doctor for Sister Sha to come and have a look? Isn't it sick?"

Looking at her granddaughter who was jumping up and down on weekdays, Mrs. Zheng became listless and worried.Since the child fell into the stream that time, he has never had a slight cold since he fell seriously ill.She didn't know that it was because Li Shasha often worked in the space, drank the water in the space, and ate the things in the space.Mrs. Zheng felt that it was reasonable when her daughter-in-law said this, so she shouted outside: "Come and ask Butler Zhu to invite a doctor to come over and show the princess!" Qiulan outside responded and left.

Hearing the shout, Li Shasha sat up quickly and said, "Grandma, I'm fine, and calling Lang Zhong will make people laugh." Lei Guozhen patted her head: "It's better if it's fine, let Lang Zhong check it out." , I and your grandma are also at ease." Li Shasha had no choice but to talk with the two of them.Not long after, the doctor invited over, took Li Shasha's pulse, and said that she was fine, but she was a little tired, and no medicine needed to be prescribed.Only then did Zheng Shi and Lei Guozhen feel relieved.

What Li Shasha didn't know was that although she was exhausted this time, her family's banquet was now well-known in Beijing, and those dozen or so young ladies were her volunteer propagandists.Later, many aristocratic families remembered to send a post to Pingnan Hou's family when they had any happy events or gatherings.If Ping Nanhou has anything to do, as long as the post is posted, everyone will actively participate.After Zheng Xianzhi came back, he told Li Shasha about this matter, and praised his sister fiercely, because from then on, his family was integrated into the life of the upper class in Kyoto.

It was a few days later that Li Shasha remembered that the Queen had taken the medicine, but there was no movement at all, and she didn't know whether it was cured or not.However, Li Shasha felt that no movement was good news, indicating that the queen's health should be improving.It's not so fast after thinking about it, so let's wait!In the past few days, she went to Lanxiangfang again. Fortunately, the stock she gave last time was enough, and there was no famine in Shopkeeper Lan's place.But shopkeeper Lan gave her all the money this time, and Li Shasha was still waiting to decline, but shopkeeper Lan said: "Your family's village is so noisy, it might cost you a lot of money, why don't you hurry up and take it." Li Shasha listened Liao felt that what he said was right, so he accepted it with peace of mind.

Today I received a letter from Lijia Village, written by Li Xianping. This is the second letter from Li Zongliang and Li Lingling after they returned.The letter just talked about the affairs of the village and the houses of the Li family.The old lady is messing around again, insisting that the third child's family is not at home, so she is entitled to distribute his family's things.Her so-called allocation is to help those two people who are currently in poor conditions. Li Dejiang is drinking heavily now, and the fields have been rented out, so he simply spends all day in the wine tank.Li Zongmiao of Li Dehu's family finally got married, and his daughter-in-law is now pregnant.The old lady wanted more security for her second son who was soaking in the wine tank, and she wanted to give more things to her fourth son, who had only one normal son, and hoped that the fourth son's family would give birth to a grandson who would become a well-established family.The old lady knew that Li Dehai took care of the family affairs for her younger brother, so she forced him to hand over the money, and each family gave 50 taels of silver every year.

Li Dehe accepted the letter, a little dumbfounded.He still has self-knowledge, he has never paid for this family, how can he have the right to dominate.Besides, his elder brother and younger brother, he didn't want to deal with them anymore.They have never regarded themselves as brothers. Although he values ​​brotherhood, he can't stand those two who are trying to put knives on that brother.Li Shasha also felt angry. She knew that grandpa was in trouble. After all, grandpa was the old lady's son. If he refused, the old lady would say he was not filial.In this day and age, a word of filial piety can crush people to death.She already wondered if the old lady had already suffered from dementia, and she didn't think she was such a person when they lived together!

The family sat in the main room of Anle Hall to discuss how to reply to Li Dehai's letter. Zheng said to Li Dehe with some hesitation: "Or according to my mother-in-law, each family will give 50 taels of silver every year. After all, 50 taels of silver is not enough for us." A big number." Li Shasha had a headache, and the grandma's Madonna complex flared up again.Fortunately, Li Dehe slapped the table: "We can't give you this money. Now we need 50 taels of silver for a year. After two years, we should say that 50 taels of silver is not enough to spend." Li Shasha immediately continued: "It's true, Sheng Mien, Dou Michou. If we don't give it to them, we should be resentful." Lei Guozhen is not easy to speak, she is the grandson's wife, so she dare not speak casually.

Zheng Xianzhi took the words and said: "This old lady is easily dizzy after being teased by the second and fourth grandpas over there. I think if the old lady is taken over, she is here, and the two over there What's going on, let's not talk about it, can she know? Besides, Grandpa, you have come to the capital to enjoy the blessings, so you should take her over to enjoy the blessings together!"

Li Zonghui nodded: "That's a good idea. It just so happens that your little uncle sent a letter saying that he will take part in next year's Spring Festival. When the weather is not hot, he will bring your sister-in-law to the capital to prepare for the exam. Or ask him to pick up the old lady. I am also very happy to come to Beijing, and live in our big house in the Pingnanhou Mansion." Mrs. Zheng asked happily after hearing this: "Zong Hui, Yulan and Baoqiang are coming to Beijing, why didn't you Tell us?" Li Zonghui said to his mother respectfully: "Hey, my son just received the letter, anyway, that's what the letter said."

Li Shasha was also happy when she heard that her aunt was coming: "Grandma, my aunt is coming! Why don't we send some money to my aunt? Our family will pay for the old lady's expenses along the way, and only my aunt and uncle will pay for it." The strength is good. It’s not easy for aunt, isn’t it, grandma!” Zheng nodded with a smile and said yes.

Li Zonghui pondered for a while and said to Li Dehe: "Father, why don't you write back a letter to uncle, saying that money is used everywhere in Beijing, and the money in my hometown can't be moved casually. We may have to use that at any time." What about the life-saving money on the side. Then let’s talk about Yulan and Baoqiang’s going to Beijing, and I will give Yulan the money from the uncle, so that the old lady will come to the capital with them to live in the capital for a few years, and it will save us from sending money over here. Li Dehe touched the cat's whiskers under his chin and nodded: "Well, let's do as you said! You can write all the letter Zonghui, and just write it in my tone." Li Zonghui nodded yes.

This incident was like a breeze, and it did not bring much ripple to the Pingnan Hou Mansion.Not long after, Qiu Ju sent a message from Daxing Zhuangzi that Zhuangzi had been completely repaired, and asked all the masters of the Hou Mansion to go to Zhuangzi to have a look.Fortunately, on the third day after receiving the news, it happened to be a ten-day holiday. Both Zheng Xianzhi and Li Zonghui were able to go, so the family decided to go to Zhuangzi on the third day to have a look.Li Shasha was afraid that those materials and labor would exceed the budget, so she also prepared some banknotes with her, and of course she also brought a box of five taels of silver to give everyone a reward.Li Shasha wrote back to Qiu Ju, saying that all the people in the mansion would go there the day after tomorrow, and asked her to prepare lunch for that day.

When it came time to go, everyone in the mansion got up early in the morning, fearing that the sun would be high and the journey would be hot.Li Shasha had asked Steward Zhu to prepare five black-painted flat-topped carriages, one for Li Dehe and Zheng Shi, one for Li Zonghui and Lei Guozhen, one for Da Mao and Ermao, one for Li Shasha and Mother Rong and Dani, and two behind. For the girls and women who followed in the mansion.Old Zheng and Zheng Xianzhi were still leading the team on horseback, and the guards at home surrounded the carriage and went to Zhuangzi.
