Poor family's favorite wife

Chapter 217 New Year (V)

Wait until tomorrow to visit your grandmother at your grandmother's house.A few days ago, I heard that your grandmother was not in good health, and I didn't have time to see her.You apologize to your grandmother on my behalf. I have asked my servants to prepare the gift, so you just go. " Li's preparations were so thorough, He Songzhu and Duan Zhirui didn't know what to say, they could only say one sentence: "Thank you, grandma. "

"Stay as polite as grandma, you don't need to be polite, as long as you are happy." Li Shi hurriedly let He Songzhu and Duan Zhirui eat steamed buns and drink hot soup, Li Shi felt sorry for Ming Xian.Mingxian's face was already very cold, and of course He Songzhu was not stupid, he had already discussed with Duan Zhirui.Buying gloves, scarves, and leg wraps in the capital, the business is naturally booming. Duan Zhirui doesn't know where He Songzhu's idea came from.

The business is still so good, and now people in the capital are not afraid of winter, but He Songzhu is actually a little helpless.Dilong doesn't really work very well, and I don't know if everyone can afford it.The modern air conditioner is so good, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, but it is a pity that He Songzhu did not have the ability to invent electricity in modern times.Even if someone invented electricity before Edison, they would not be able to manufacture air conditioners, so they had to give up on this idea.

It is conceivable that the business of buying gloves and scarves in the capital is booming.Of course, the store will not open after the winter, and it will not open until the end of the year.But he earned a lot of money, Duan Zhirui handed over all the money he earned to He Songzhu.He Songzhu really felt it was worth it at that moment, and kept it as a dowry for Mingxian in the future.Of course, He Songzhu would buy some better ones first, and keep them for Ming Xian later.

A motherly heart is evident.Duan Zhirui once laughed at He Songzhu, thinking too early.After breakfast, He Songzhu and Duan Zhirui took Mingxian and left.Mrs. Li said worriedly, "Be careful on the road, it's a bit cold, come back earlier at night, remember to send Mingxian to my yard, I'll wait for you to come back. Go!" Originally, He Songzhu planned to let Mingxian accompany you. Looking at the Zhou family, it seems that hope has been lost.

Forget it, let's listen to Mrs. Li!Mrs. Li is getting older now, and she misses Mingxian, so she will bring her back and let Mingxian accompany Mrs. Li, Duan Zhirui and He Songzhu just left, and Mrs. Li asked the maid beside her to invite Marquis Pingyang to come.At this moment, Marquis of Pingyang was having breakfast with Mrs. Xiao, and heard that Mrs. Li invited him.Marquis Pingyang hurried to Mrs. Li's yard. Mrs. Xiao wore a long dress with violet-colored hibiscus drawn at the tail, double-breasted, waist and sleeves.

Smiling slightly, the youthful and ignorant pair of spirit beads are as smooth as pearls and jade, their eyes are as clear as the stream under the ice, not stained with a trace of worldly dirt, their eyelashes are long and thick, they are slightly raised like cattail fans, and they stretch out their hands She has a small nose, a pair of long and white catkins, and the elegant orchids embroidered on the cuffs set off her fingers that look like sliced ​​green onions. The pink lips are shining with a crystal color, and they are gently bent out of a beautiful arc.

There are light blue tassels hanging on Ruyu's earlobe, the tassels are light and can dance slowly with a little wind.He specially prepared this clothes and went to the prime minister's mansion, and heard that the girl Mingxian was sleeping in Li Shi's room, especially Duan Zhirui and He Songzhu accompanied Li Shi to have breakfast.Mrs. Li had already prepared gifts for the two of them, and Mrs. Xiao felt that it was unfair. Those gifts were all Mrs. Li's private property.

Why didn't I see Mrs. Xiao when she returned home, Mrs. Li asked Mrs. Xiao to take her back.It's not fair, and Xiao Shi doesn't know why he treated Li Shi badly, Li Shi treated him so unfairly.It's too much, but Xiao Shi has no place to talk now, if he follows Pingyanghou, it will obviously provoke the relationship between Pingyanghou and Li.Besides, now that Mrs. Li is getting older, the Marquis of Pingyang does not dare to disobey Mrs. Li.

It can be seen that Aunt Wang took Duan Zhiping's family of three to leave Pingyanghou's mansion with Li Shi. Xiao Shi felt uncomfortable because Pingyanghou did not dare to disobey Li Shi's words.He Songzhu, that bitch, just wait and see.Xiao Shi will not let it go, hum!But I didn't expect Pingyang Hou to face Xiao Shi guiltily: "Madam, I'm really sorry, I can't accompany Madam to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Madam please forgive me."

How can you ask Xiao to forgive me now? What's going on?You guessed it right, didn't you?Li's slut wants to let the Pingyang Houfu Weiyuan Houfu, isn't it? "Master Hou, what's the matter? Didn't you agree with my concubine to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with my concubine, why can't I go back now?" Xiao Shi can't accept it now, thanks to the fact that he did his best to serve the Marquis of Pingyang last night .

Dare to love Pingyang Hou didn't take it to heart, did he?It's really wronged, "Master Hou, didn't you agree to the concubine's body, why did you suddenly tell the concubine that this is the case, what do you want to do with the concubine?" Xiao stared at Pingyanghou crying, in fact, Pingyanghou also had a headache, " Ma'am, don't cry, I want to go with you too, but my mother has already said so. I haven't visited Weiyuan Hou Mansion for New Year's greetings for more than ten years.

So this year I'm going to Weiyuan Hou Mansion to pay New Year's greetings. I'll pick you up in the afternoon. How about it?Okay, okay, stop crying, I know it's my husband's fault.But what my mother said, there is nothing I can do for my husband. "Pingyanghou coaxed Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth. It was useless to say anything now. Mrs. Li, everyone is Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li is an old man, so don't blame yourself for being rude. Hmph!

In the end, Xiao Shi still didn't understand Pingyanghou, so he just watched Pingyanghou go to Weiyuanhou's mansion.Mrs. Li is just not reconciled to watching Pingyang Hou accompany Xiao's Prime Minister's Mansion every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year.After all, it's filling the house, what's the big deal, what happened to Duan Zhirui's brother back then.Li has no choice but to find out, but he probably knows who it is related to. Anyway, he can't escape with Xiao, so these years, Xiao has not been favored by Li.

Mrs. Li has been coaxing Duan Zhirui, feeling sorry for Duan Zhirui.Also, I feel sorry for Lin Shi, and it is all my fault that he died young.If he hadn't proposed marriage with Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Lin would not have died early.There are also Lin's two children, and Li is blaming himself.It won't let Xiao Shi live comfortably, thinking of Li Shi coldly humming.In the yard to bask in the sun and keep warm, even though he was wearing gloves and a scarf, Mrs. Li felt it was inconvenient after all.

He Songzhu and Duan Zhirui brought Mingxian to Zhou's residence, and Cui Moran had already arrived.But He Songmei didn't come, He Songzhu was a little curious.Cui Moran had already told Zhou Shi and He Songping before that He Songmei was unwell and could not come, please forgive Zhou Shi.He Songzhu couldn't help wondering in his heart: "What's wrong with He Songmei, she can't come." So Duan Zhirui asked Cui Moran.

what happened?Now He Songzhu took Mingxian to talk with Zhou Shi and He Songping.Finally, when Duan Zhirui came, Cui Moran followed Duan Zhirui to the study.Mrs. Zhou felt a little regretful: "Your eldest sister did not come back, but your eldest brother-in-law should not lie to us. I am sure your eldest sister is not in good health. Let your eldest sister take good care of her body." Zhou comforted He Songzhu and He Songping, but in fact they also I am comforting myself.

He Songju and Lin Zian had a good time in the eldest princess's mansion, because the eldest princess loved the child in He Songju's belly even more.That's his grandson, Zhaohua is not stupid, Zhaohua seldom goes to Yuanchen's yard.Thinking about the promise to Yuan Chen, to give Yuan Chen a child, that can't be fulfilled.On the contrary, he often went to the courtyard of the son-in-law Lin Tong, and everyone in the princess's house knew that they should take good care of the princess He Songju.

"Ju'er, are you okay?" Lin Zian asked He Songju softly. He Songju had been three months old and felt a little uncomfortable.If you vomit what you eat, the reaction is more serious.Lin Zian even went to the imperial physician and the eldest princess to ask, what should I do?I remember that the eldest princess laughed at Lin Zian, who was useless.But I feel relieved in my heart, I hope that Lin Zi'an will gradually get better, and it will be fine if he doesn't go out to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble.

The eldest princess didn't have many demands, and as for the fifth princess Lianyun in the palace, she was hastily married by the sage to a small country on the border to get married.After all, Lian Yun has already lost his virginity, so how can he marry in Da Qi.The Holy Majesty had no choice but to marry Lian Yun before the year before.Even if Concubine Xin is unwilling, there is no other way.The Holy Majesty forced him to marry Lian Yun, and Concubine Xin cried and fell down in front of the Holy Majesty, begging the Holy Majesty.

The Holy Majesty also resolutely married off Lian Yun without any compromise.Of course, the Holy Majesty also promised to let Concubine Xin stay in the palace for a few more years, so that Concubine Xin could keep filial piety for the late emperor.In the end Concubine Xin compromised, and watched helplessly as her precious daughter Lian Yun got married and went to a small border country to marry her.The eldest princess also breathed a sigh of relief, as for the queen mother, she was even happier and wanted to find a good son-in-law for Lian Yi.

If you don't find a good son-in-law, you will have to let Concubine Xin watch the excitement. "Okay." He Songju opened the door, and Lin Zian's eyes lit up, wearing blue clothes, a blue pomegranate skirt, and a blue gauze dress outside.There is a cloak made of fine light yellow silk on the shoulders, which is a perfect match for the skirt. The skirt is embroidered with white lilies, and there is a little red in the white, just like the white and ruddy face.

The hair is coiled into a round shape, and several hairpins inlaid with emeralds are inserted.The earrings are also inlaid with emeralds, and the white jade neck, with a necklace of pearls and emeralds, adds a lot of elegance to the jade neck.The pink lips on the fair face looked petite, and the fair face added a lot of charm.He Songju has always been blamed for wearing heavy makeup, and Lin Zian is dumbfounded by the plain He Songju now, but He Songju also knows it.

He Songzhu and He Songmei must have gone to their natal family today, and if they found out, they would definitely scold themselves.So He Songju should keep a low profile and don't let them worry.Especially Lin Zian stared closely at He Songju's lower abdomen, it was their baby, Lin Zian didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.Most people say that it takes three months to show pregnancy, but Lin Zi'an thinks that it took two months for He Songju.

The belly started to grow a little bit, Lin Zian's pleasure every day was to caress He Songju's lower abdomen.Feeling their baby throbbing, of course, touching it now, without really responding at all.But it doesn't matter, Lin Zian already feels very happy, after all, he is the only child.Lin Zian was still looking forward to it, He Songju and Lin Zian hurried to the hall to greet Lin Tong and the eldest princess.

The eldest princess told He Songju to pay attention to those things, and pulled He Songju worriedly.He Songju nodded repeatedly and kept it in mind, while Lin Tong sat and listened carefully.As for Lin Zian, he was also sitting in danger, and finally the eldest princess let He Songju and Lin Zian leave.Zhaohua smiled slightly: "Consort, we also go back to the palace to pay respects to the queen mother." He took Lin Tong into the palace together, and Yuan Chen was furious when he heard the news.

Now the eldest princess pays more and more attention to the son-in-law Lin Tong, all because of the child in He Songju's belly.Of course, if the child in He Songju's womb disappeared, would everything change?Yuan Chen thought coldly, clenched his fists.He Songzhu and Mrs. Zhou had a very happy conversation, and You Mingxian snuggled into Mrs. Zhou's arms.Mrs. Zhou felt very happy, and said excitedly: "Why don't you let Mingxian stay with me today."

Zhou also didn't sleep with Mingxian for a few days, in fact, He Songzhu also wanted to.But Mingxian smiled: "Grandma, I want to go back to accompany great-grandmother, and great-grandmother said to wait for me at night." Although Mingxian is very smart, she is still young, and Zhou is a little disappointed, "Mother, grandma's health is not very good. I have Mingxian to accompany me every day. I feel much better." Seemingly following Zhou's experience, Zhou nodded with a smile.

"I see. I am very satisfied to see Mingxian." Zhou has lowered his requirements and standards, and He Songzhu feels very much.As a mother, Mrs. Zhou still understood herself very well, and sent He Songping and Mingxian away. Mrs. Zhou showed He Songzhu a stack of lists: "Zhu'er, I have always kept your fifth sister's marriage in mind. I really don't know which one to choose when I come to propose a marriage?

Can you help your mother take a look? " Mrs. Zhou handed the list to He Songzhu's side, and He Songzhu searched slowly. There are indeed many families, including high-ranking families, meritorious nobles, merchants' families, and children from poor families. It seems that He Songping is still alive. Really welcomed, He Songzhu watched slowly. After careful review, he finally saw that Liang Xinda, the Duke of Liang, wanted to marry He Songping, isn't it a joke!
He Songzhu handed Liang Xinda's post to Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou said softly, "Mother wants to go with you. Mother is optimistic about this Liang Xinda. Mother has seen him before." Mrs. Zhou stared at He Songzhu mysteriously. He Songzhu was a little surprised: "Mother, where have you seen him?" Could it be that he had other thoughts, "In our Wenxiang Pavilion, he came to our shop to eat buns, and I met him by accident. .”

He Songzhu nodded involuntarily, that's good.It doesn't matter on purpose, now He Songzhu's strings are tense, and if there is any disturbance, He Songzhu feels that something is wrong.He Songzhu really thought too much, it really wasn't deliberate. "Mother, then why do you think Liang Guogong married Fifth Sister? He didn't marry Fifth Sister because he liked Fifth Sister?" He Songzhu didn't believe it. Liang Xinda did this because he liked He Songping.

Leaving aside whether He Songping has met Liang Xinda, "Mother, I asked my husband to help me check to see if there is anything special?" Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said, "Zhu'er, I will ask you, mother. Knowing that mother is at home, I don't know how to check, now that you are back, mother is more at ease, mother is now worried about your fifth sister's marriage, and I don't know if your fourth sister will come back today or not?"

It's noon soon, and it's time for lunch, Zhou looked worriedly at the door.Suddenly saw the servant girl coming in front of Mrs. Zhou, "The lord and concubine are here." It seemed that He Songju had come, He Songzhu quickly helped Mrs. Zhou get up and went to the gate, and asked the servant beside Duan Zhirui to inform Duan Zhirui and Cui Moran to come.He Songju was carefully supported by Lin Zian, but he didn't need to be so afraid.

But now Lin Zian completely regards He Songju as a treasure, and He Songju told Lin Zian several times.But there was no other way, and later he followed Lin Zian.As long as Lin Zhian doesn't go too far, Zhou's eyes are moist for some reason.He Songju opened her mouth and shouted: "Mother, Third Sister, Fifth Sister, I'm back." Mrs. Zhou patted He Songju's hand and said softly: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back.

Hurry up and get inside, it's cold outside! "Ms. Zhou helped He Songju into the house distressedly. As for Lin Zian, of course she went to the study with Duan Zhirui and Cui Moran. The three of them went to talk about their affairs. Then I don't have to worry about it. Zhou asked He Songju carefully. There are few topics. He Songzhu can see the smile between He Songju's brows. I think He Songju's life in the eldest princess's mansion is good.

But at this moment, Li Yanran also came from outside.Originally Li Yanran was going to come early in the morning, but Li Rufeng went too far, and had to accompany him to his grandmother's house.Grandfather and grandmother are gone, only uncle and them, Li Yanran doesn't like them anyway.But there is no way, the more people you hate, the more you want to see them, avoiding is not an option, Li Rufeng went back to the house by himself.

Let Li Yanran get off at the gate of He Mansion. She is wrapped in a pale pink dress and covered with white gauze, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbone. There is more than three feet, which makes the gait more graceful and soft. Three thousand blue silks are tied with hair bands, butterfly hairpins are inserted in the head, and a strand of blue silk hangs on the chest.

It creates a kind of pure skin that is as delicate and lovely as petals, and the whole person is like a butterfly fluttering in the wind, and also like clear ice and snow.Li Yanran also shouted: "Aunt Zhou, I'm here." He Songzhu couldn't help but chuckled as he happily played to Zhou Shi's side. It seemed that Li Yanran really liked Zhou Shi.Mrs. Zhou smiled and took Li Yanran's hand and sat beside her, Li Yanran, the daughter of the great general on the day He Songju got married.

He Songju also heard about protecting Mingxian the next day.The Duke of Zhen's mansion is now in decline, and Li Yanran smiled at Cui Moran and the others, wanting to talk to He Songzhu and the Zhou family, but she couldn't do it anymore.Because it will be lunch soon, but there is still a chance after lunch.He Songping and Li Yanran smiled at each other, it can be seen that the relationship between the two of them is very close, He Songzhu observed calmly.

Don't worry about He Songju now, it will be much better, and I will have lunch soon.He Songzhu took the opportunity to pull Duan Zhirui to the side, and asked in a low voice: "My husband, what did the eldest brother-in-law say, what happened to the eldest sister?" Duan Zhirui really didn't know how to follow He Songzhu, and whether it would affect He Songzhu's mood .Seeing Duan Zhirui's hesitation, He Songzhu hurriedly said, "Sir, what's the matter?"
