Chapter 101 Thirty Years in the River West and East River
Chapter 101 Thirty Years in Hexi and Hedong
In the morning, I was saying greetings in the old lady's house. A relative from the Shen family, where Lin Zhifang was going to marry, came from out of town to attend the wedding. When he came, he pulled a cart of Xiuyan jade, and Shen Jing gave a large piece to the Lin family.
Mrs. Yuan was showing off this matter: "She is an aunt of the Shen family. Now her husband is in a high position and has a good family background. She specially asked her son to attend the wedding. Such a big stone, how heavy is it! It was pulled thousands of miles away. The flowers on this road are more expensive than the stones! Tsk tsk. Mother, take it to the courtyard in a moment and take a look. If you want to carve something, find a good craftsman to do it. You said that this kid Shen Jing does things very well. ah!"
Old Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Zhifang with a smile. Her clothes have become much brighter recently, and her jewelry has become more expensive. She is almost a newlywed! At this moment, her face is slightly red, with a smile, and she is generous. Old lady He secretly praised and nodded, "Shen Jing is indeed a good person! Look, Lin Ge is doing well with him. Turning around, he asked Lin Chang to follow him more and listen to his opinions. Before Lin Chang gets married, it is better to find someone Let’s go to another place! Have a better reputation!”
Yuan glanced at Huang and said, "Mother, Uncle Lin Chang is so awesome! Wouldn't it be better to let Mr. Huang find a position for him?!"
Mrs. Huang felt disgusted, wondering why she was involved. Seeing Mrs. Yuan's pride, "Mother, I do have a plan. Don't worry!"
Yuan's mouth curled up.
Old Mrs. Lin said, "Zhifang is doing well as she is now! Next, don't eat, and don't use things you haven't used before. Get a good night's sleep, drink plenty of water, and just stay in good condition."
Lin Zhifang blushed even more and nodded, "Yes, grandma!"
Lin Zhirong lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lin Zhixiu saw that they had talked about everything, so he said to the old lady, "Grandma, my granddaughter has something to do."
Mrs. Lin frowned slightly unconsciously and asked, "What's the matter with you?" Her voice was unpleasant.
Lin Zhixiu pretended not to hear it and said, "In our hometown, there is a Mrs. Li who was young and widowed with a son. Her son enlisted in the army and went to the northwest. A few days ago, Mrs. Li just came to the capital alone. It may be her son. She is coming back from the northwest. Her uncle rented a small courtyard for her to stay temporarily. When her mother was still alive, she also helped Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li was grateful. So after she settled in, she mentioned to her uncle that she wanted to come to the house to see you. You see..."
Old Mrs. Lin: "Your surname is Li? Who is your family?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "The Li family was originally a wealthy family in Huizhou. Mrs. Li's father-in-law seemed to have offended someone. The family property was lost and the man died. Later, Mr. Li moved to Yongjiang and got married. Mrs. Li is the daughter of a farmer. , gave birth to a son named Li Feng. When Li Feng was seven years old, Master Li also died. Mrs. Li became a widow and took Li Feng with her. This is probably what happened."
The old lady gave her a disgusted look.
The daughter of a farmer and the son of a soldier whose family fortune was ruined and his life was ruined.
You are really thinking about it, and you don’t care about it!
She wanted to "visit" me just because she wanted to climb a high tree and give her son a walk! Oh, she has ideas, but I also have to have this leisure time?!
So he said calmly, "You don't need to be so polite when you talk to her back! There are a lot of things at home right now. Let's talk about it later when we are free."
Yuan was dissatisfied with Lin Zhixiu, and then the old lady said, "Xiu girl, you are really good! In a few days, your eldest sister will get married! Now the family is so busy that there is no time to see each other." Outsider? You don’t go out much these days! The carriage at home goes out several times a day! Don’t cause trouble with trivial things!”
Lin Zhixiu was so angry that I had only gone out a few times. And when I went out recently, either the Liu family came to pick me up or my uncle came to pick him up. When will you get out of the carriage? Just that broken carriage, do I care about it? If not... I would buy it
Three cars!
But before she could speak, Lin Zhirong said softly, "Third sister, now that you have returned to the capital, what you hear and see must be consistent with your identity. Don't say that the eldest sister is getting married, and grandma is busy with things. That's it.
On a normal day, there is no reason for my grandmother to meet a commoner woman. Even if my grandmother is kind-hearted and doesn't mind, your Aunt Li... is a commoner. Wouldn't she be embarrassed to see Mrs. Gaoming?"
When civilians receive orders, it is not an exaggeration to kneel down and salute...
Lin Zhixiu nodded with understanding, "Oh. Grandma, that's Xiu'er being reckless. But, grandma, this Li... Aunt, Xiu'er still wants to meet her. At first, her father liked her son Li Feng very much. Xiu'er
During the period of mourning, Mrs. Li also helped with many things at home."
Huang interrupted lightly and said, "You didn't even listen to what your grandmother, eldest aunt and second sister said just now. This little family behavior really needs to change."
Others said it was fine, but Lin Zhixiu couldn't hear Huang's words, "Third aunt, what does it mean to be like a small family? Mrs. Li repays her kindness, and Zhixiu is affectionate and righteous. She won't do it just because she entered the Lin family in the capital.
When the lintel is high, the original people and things are thrown away. According to you, these are the behavior of a small family?! Then you, a noble lady and a noble lady in the capital, tell me about this kind of thing that happened to you,
What to do?"
Huang smiled proudly and said, "I can't encounter such a thing! I can't know such a person either!"
Lin Zhixiu: "You have never encountered anything like this, and you don't know such people... so why are you teaching me?"
Mr. Huang said, "Based on my childhood upbringing. For example, I have known since I was a child that when an elder says something, you should never follow it with a few words! No matter the royal family, a wealthy family, or even an ordinary person, the superiority of elders and juniors is the difference.
First in line.”
Lin Zhixiu said, "Of course Xiu'er knows about these. Xiu'er also knows the saying called kindness above and filial piety below. As an elder, you must first show your attitude! Besides, my grandmother is here! The filial piety to the third aunt,
You have to line up in the back. Besides, Third Uncle is very satisfied with Xiu'er. He said personally that Xiu'er is the most sensible junior in the Lin family! Third Aunt, Xiu'er doesn't understand your denial.
I need to ask Third Uncle for advice!"
When Mr. Huang heard this, he said hello? Didn't he just collect some things from you? That idiot who was jealous of money said, "Mother, what do you think this girl is saying?! Every time she said something to her, she would just say it all back."
.If you do this in front of outsiders, they will tell you what the rules are for discussing the Lin family!"
Old Mrs. Lin was also a little puzzled. This girl seemed to be sharp-tongued whenever she faced someone from the third family's family. "Xiu girl, how can you speak?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Grandma, you just said that the family is currently busy and you don't have time to see Mrs. Li. We will wait until we are free. But you didn't say it was because she was of low status and inappropriate! My eldest aunt was also teaching Zhixiu that things should be prioritized.
. But when the second sister and the third aunt came up, they made sarcastic and sarcastic remarks. Did they think that I was too young to hear them? Or did they think that I was an orphan and could be bullied by others? "
She became excited.
Lin Zhirong curled his lips, he would do this!
Old Mrs. Lin's head hurt. This girl is really a tofu that has fallen into the ashes. She can't blow it... She said angrily, "Okay, okay! There are a lot of things going on at home recently. Don't talk about these useless things."
Already."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Grandma, Xiu'er wants to see Mrs. Li. If you don't have time, just ask her to salute at the door of your courtyard. Just talk in my courtyard. Anyway, it's my eldest sister's business, Xiu'er
I can’t get involved, so I just need to find good things to add makeup to my eldest sister. Okay, grandma? My good grandma, just promise Xiuer..."
She started cheating again.
Lin Zhirong, Mr. Huang, looked at her hatefully, with goosebumps rising all over his body.
Mrs. Huang couldn't understand why the old lady was so tolerant of this dead girl? She obviously didn't like her, but she didn't punish her severely!
Old Mrs. Lin frowned, "If you want her to come, just talk directly in your yard! No need to salute in my yard! If you need to prepare food, just tell your aunt."
The eldest aunt said, "Mom, we don't have to prepare our meals deliberately, just make more." After saying that, she laughed.
The old lady also laughed, "My daughter is about to get married, so you should be cautious..."
Lin Zhixiucai didn't mind this. "Yes, grandma. Xiu'er listens to you! Auntie, please excuse me."
Lin Zhixiu's hair was straight, and she said delicately, "Grandma, have you heard of this sentence? This... Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. Even though Mrs. Li is just a peasant woman, Li Feng is just a local."
Soldier. But what about the future? What if Brother Li has made military exploits in the northwest, comes back and is appreciated by the emperor, and is made a marquis and a general! And the people who have swallowed his family property are punished, and a large amount of family property is returned... Then, look now
If you don’t go to the Li family, don’t regret it then.” I’ll start with the ugly words!
Mr. Huang sneered, "Even if he becomes a marquis or a general in the future, or even a king with a different surname, we won't be greedy or regret it!"
Lin Zhixiu raised her face and smiled, "This is what you said, third aunt! Grandma, you heard it too. Don't ask me for anything by then. It will be too late."
Lin Zhirong said, "It's never too late."
After coming out of her grandmother's house, Mrs. Yuan was still busy and led her people away.
Fang Qunqun just listened to what Lin Zhixiu said, but she didn't quite believe that this was an ordinary old lady. Otherwise, why would Lin Zhixiu have to let her come to the house? Is there anything good she could do, so she came to ask, "Xiu'er, Li
Where will my wife stay when she comes to the capital?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "My uncle helped rent a small courtyard and settled in it first, and we will wait until her son comes back!"
When Fang Qunqun heard that Uncle An wanted to rent a yard, he probably came from a poor family, and immediately lost interest, "Oh! That's like it!" and stopped talking.
Yao said softly to Lin Zhixiu, "Xiu'er, when Mrs. Li comes...fourth aunt will accompany you to receive her! Mrs. Li is also considered your elder. It is better to have an elder in the family come forward."
Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "Hey! It's better to be the fourth aunt!"
Yao smiled and left.
Fang Qunqun said, "Xiu'er, Aunt Five has something to do that day!" She quickly explained.
Lin Zhixiu is so angry. Do you know that something will happen to her when she comes? You... but you know her virtues and don't bother to care about her.
Lin Zhifang heard this from behind and smiled, which she usually didn't show. This fourth aunt was quite thoughtful!
"Third sister!" she shouted.
As soon as Lin Zhixiu turned around, Lin Zhifang came up to her with a smile, "Third sister, my mother has been so busy these days that she feels a little out of sorts. Just now she had a bad temper and spoke rudely. Don't mind!"
Lin Zhixiu said angrily, "Sister, Xiu'er won't mind. It's just that, eldest sister, please tell your aunt that next time Xiu'er goes out, don't arrange that pony carriage! There are thorns on the stools."
Son, Xiu'er's skirt is all scratched!"
Her voice was soft, and Lin Zhifang didn't take it seriously. She smiled and said, "Okay! I'll give you the best carriage next time!"
"Actually, Xiu'er doesn't have much chance to go out! She just wants to complain to big sister!" Lin Zhixiu said mischievously.
Lin Zhifang said, "You are really naughty. What does Mrs. Li's son do? When will he come back?"
Lin Zhixiu said in her heart that Lin Zhifang was much better than her mother in dealing with people and had more thoughts. No wonder she had such a good life in the previous life. "I haven't seen Mrs. Li, so I really don't know what Brother Li is doing in the northwest."
Here! My uncle has settled her down first, and Brother Li has to take care of her before he comes back."
Lin Zhifang said, "Oh, that's right! Well, that's it...if Mrs. Li comes and the elders don't have time...and you need the eldest sister to accompany you, just ask the girl to call her."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Thank you, eldest sister! However, eldest sister is busy now, so Xiu'er doesn't dare to disturb me. It's time for auntie to scold me later!"
Lin Zhifang said softly, "No! Mother is in charge of the family, so she must have some momentum. But she..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Xiu'er understands that she is joking with my eldest sister!"
Lin Zhifang smiled, "Come to my sister's room to chat when you have time, I'll go back first!"
Lin Zhixiu said yes with a smile, and looked at Lin Zhifang as she walked away gracefully. If he were not sure that she was malicious towards him, how could such a big sister not be convinced?!"
