Liu Er's Extra Story (68)
Hearing that Xu Wenchang's younger siblings entered the door before they were married, Jiaojiao couldn't help but said: "Even if you are pregnant, you don't necessarily have to marry as a wife? Li Shi's character is so bad, how can she marry her back home?" Be a good lady." When she is pregnant, she just goes home and becomes a concubine. Although this is a bit unethical, it is the most appropriate way in the long run.
"Xu Wendong didn't like her either, he was tricked by Li Shi." It was obvious that Xu Wendong was not as shrewd as his brother.
Speaking of this, Liu'er couldn't help but shook her head and said: "A barefoot person is not afraid of wearing shoes. Xu Wendong already had a reputation as a scholar at that time, and the Li family threatened him that if he didn't marry the Li family, they would sue him in the Yamen and ruin his reputation."
Jiaojiao was a little puzzled: "Mother, the hired one is a wife and the one who runs away is a concubine. With what the Li family has done, she can only be a concubine even if she sues the yamen. As for the threats from the Li family, is it because they want to threaten the Xu family? Can you be a threat?" The saying that barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes is true. But the problem is, after Xu Wenchang passed the examination, the Xu family and the Li family were no longer at the same level. As long as Xu Wendong publicizes what Li Shi did, and then proposes to take her as a concubine, outsiders will not say anything about him.
"Xu Wendong knew that Mrs. Li was pregnant and wanted to take her as a concubine, but Mrs. Xu was unwilling. She directly invited a matchmaker to Li's family to propose marriage, and the wedding date was set within three days. If Xu Wendong doesn't marry, it won't work." It's gone." Li Shi is easy to deal with, but Mrs. Xu is his own mother. If he doesn't marry the Li family, he will be disobedient and unfilial. Unless Xu Wendong doesn't want his future anymore, he can only pinch his nose and admit it.
Jiaojiao finally understood: "Mother, grandma's guess is too accurate, this old lady Xu is really not a smart person." There is nothing wrong with wanting to kiss and kiss, but the premise is that the other party has a good character! With Li Shi's character, being a concubine is too cold to be a concubine, but Mrs. Xu even wants her to be her daughter-in-law.
Liu'er said with a smile: "Madam Xu probably wants to use this method to help her mother's family."
There are many ways to help her natal family, but Mrs. Xu used the most undesirable one. By doing this, she was cheating Xu Wendong for the rest of her life.
Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "With such a mother-in-law, I won't worry about it in the future."
Liu'er said indifferently: "The old lady of the Chen family is a formidable character, and Chen Xiangxue was brought up by her. With Chen Xiangxue's ability, it should be easy to deal with a country old lady."
"That's true." Chen Xiangxue didn't only know about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is more tactful in dealing with people, and the housekeeper is a good hand.
After gossiping about the Xu family's affairs, Liu'er told Jiaojiao about moving back to the Princess Mansion after the Lantern Festival: "It's time to tidy up your things." Jiaojiao has a lot of things, so they must be tidied up in advance .
Jiaojiao was a little surprised: "Mother, why do you want to move back to the princess mansion all of a sudden?" After living in the Duke's mansion for so many years, she felt a little bit reluctant.
"Silly boy, the Princess Mansion is our home. Even if we don't move now, we will move after Brother Hu and the others get married. There are so many people, and we all live in the Duke's Mansion. She doesn’t care if Auntie is on good terms. But Brother Hu and his daughters-in-law may not have any objections. To avoid this kind of thing, it’s better to move back to the princess mansion earlier.” As for the real reason, there’s no need to tell Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao thought about it, so she didn't say any more.
When going to bed at night, Feng Zhixi said: "It's still the empress who can train people, but after two months, Jiaojiao has become much calmer than before."
"This child is the most obedient to my mother. My mother asked her to learn female celebrities for an hour a day, and she followed suit. After two months of learning, it is no problem to make shoes and socks now." Shoes and socks don't need to be pretty. , just look past it.
Feng Zhixi said with a smile: "My mother is also very good, she can make Jiaojiao submissive." Liu'er can't do it anymore, if Jiaojiao doesn't want to do things like acting coquettishly or crying at her, it won't work in the end. It's over.
Liu'er said with some regret: "I told my mother today that Jiaojiao will go to live in Baihua Garden for a while after the Chinese New Year. It's a pity that my mother didn't agree."
"That's enough for you. The emperor and King You's children,
No one has lived in Baihuayuan for a long time. "Jiaojiao lived the longest time in Baihuayuan.
Liu'er didn't answer, and said: "Mother said that she will go to Yucheng with Dad next year, and she will leave when the spring begins, and she probably won't come back until the end of the year."
Feng Zhixi frowned and said, "The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager are old, isn't it inappropriate to go so far?"
Liu'er said: "My father said to go to Yucheng to take a look while he was still healthy, and said that he would not be able to go if he wanted to go in the future."
As Yunqing got older, he was unable to do many things. Hearing these words, Liu'er felt sore in her heart, and couldn't say any objection.
After the new year, Liu'er took Jiaojiao and moved back to the Princess Mansion. As for Brother Bao and Brother Ying, they stayed in the Duke's Mansion. But when they get married in two years, they will definitely go back to the Princess Mansion. So Liu'er didn't urge her either.
In mid-February, Yuxi and Yunqing set off for Yucheng. Qihao was worried, and asked Qiyou to put down the errands at hand and go with the two of them.
In March, Liu'er said something to Jiaojiao: "The Chen family has issued an invitation to invite us to a wedding."
"Why are you still inviting me?" Normally speaking, girls who have not left the cabinet will not be formally invited. However, if the relationship with the bride-to-be is good, then the bride-to-be will be invited to drink the wedding wine in her own name.
Liu Er shook her head and said, "Your name was not written on the post, but I wanted you to go out for a drink with me." It was said that she would regret that she rejected Xu Wenchang's marriage proposal. He even said that Jiaojiao would blame her for this in the future. So Liu'er wanted these people to know that they would not regret it, and Jiaojiao didn't take Xu Wenchang to heart.
That is to say, people like Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen would not do such boring things. Jiaojiao said: "Mom, if you don't want to be sent a gift, that's fine. Don't take what other people say." She has heard many people say that she will regret it in the future. These words, she was like a gust of wind.
Liu'er touched Jiaojiao's head, said with a smile: "If you don't want to go, don't go, I must go."
Jiaojiao showed doubts.
Liu Er explained: "Your aunt won't go, I will definitely go." The relationship between the Chen family and the Feng family is good, and now the married daughter of the Chen family has invited the Feng family to a banquet. It's a little rude not to go alone without special circumstances.
It is also because the descendants of the Feng family have not yet married, otherwise just let a younger generation go.
Jiaojiao nodded and changed the subject: "Mom, I want to make a dress for Azhang, do you think it's okay?" She felt that her needlework was not bad, so she wanted to show off.
Liu'er smiled and said: "It's better to make a purse for Zhaozhang first, and it won't be too late to make clothes later." The main reason is that it takes too much time to make clothes, unlike a purse, embroidering a few stitches is enough.
It was also Liu'er who was worried that Jiaojiao would not have the patience to make the clothes. If you tell Du Zhaozhang that you want to make clothes for him, then the clothes will be in the foreseeable future, making people happy for nothing.
Jiaojiao thinks about it too.
When it came time for Chen Xiangxue to get married, Liu Er got up and put on her makeup before dawn.
The Chen family married a daughter, like everyone else, there was no disturbance. So after the wedding banquet, Liu'er went home.
After a few days, Jiaojiao got a message and immediately came to look for Liu'er: "Mother, I heard that sister Mimi was sent away by grandfather. Mother, where is sister Mimi sent away?"
Liu Er shook her head and said, "I don't know either."
Jiaojiao asked with some doubts: "How did grandfather know about this?"
Liu'er smiled bitterly and said: "On the day Xu Wenchang got married, Mimi cried and told your aunt that she wanted to become a monk. Of course your aunt didn't want to, but I didn't expect her to go on a hunger strike to force her. This matter is a bit big, your aunt just wanted to hide it I can't hide it anymore."
When Feng Dajun knew about this, he sent Mimi out of the capital in a rage. Qiqi went to plead for mercy, but was scolded by Feng Dajun, saying that she is a loving mother who loses her son.
"Your grandfather sent Mimi away, probably because he wanted to use a special method to wake her up." Mimi has a marriage contract with the Han family, and the wedding date has been fixed. Now that the wedding date hasn't been changed, Liu'er feels that Feng Dajun wants to break Mimi over.
"Hey, the third sister used to be pretty good except for being a bit weak. But since she met Xu Wenchang, she seems to be a different person. Mother, I really can't figure it out. The third sister just met Xu Wenchang, why? It’s about death or life!” It’s completely inexplicable!
Liu'er shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
"Third sister tosses herself into being neither human nor ghost for Xu Wenchang, the saddest thing is Auntie." After finishing speaking, Jiaojiao asked: "Mother, how is Chen Xiangxue living in the Xu family?"
Liu'er was so clear about the Xu family's affairs before, because she had someone bribe the servants brought by the Xu family from their hometown. These two people got a lot of money, so they naturally told everything they knew. Now Liu'er doesn't pay special attention to the Xu family's affairs, so she really doesn't know whether Chen Xiangxue is doing well in the Xu family: "Since Chen Xiangxue married, the Xu family's affairs will no longer be revealed." It can be seen from this that Chen Xiangxue's housekeeper is really powerful.
"That's pretty good." With such a mother-in-law, it's not easy for Xu Wenchang to think about it. It's his blessing to have such a talented and capable wife.
In the days that followed, Liu'er was arranging Jiaojiao's dowry while showing Brother Bao'er a look. As for Jiaojiao, she didn't just stay at home like other girls who were waiting to be married and never went anywhere. She accepted the invitation from her classmates and friends, and would go to the appointment as usual. If you encounter a book meeting you are interested in, you will also participate.
The more you walk around outside, the more news you hear. When she heard that Mrs. Xu scolded Chen Xiangxue for being a hen that doesn't lay eggs, Jiaojiao felt it was incredible.
When she got home, Jiaojiao told Liu'er about it: "This can't be true, can it?"
"It wasn't Mrs. Xu who scolded, but Mrs. Li. I don't know what kind of dispute arose. Mrs. Li scolded Chen Xiangxue as a hen that doesn't lay eggs in front of outsiders." It was because of the presence of outsiders that this incident happened. Passed out.
Jiaojiao widened her eyes and said: "Mother, Chen Xiangxue has only been married to the Xu family for half a year, so how could the Li family say such a thing?" These words were not ordinary.
"That woman originally wanted to marry Xu Wenchang, how could Chen Xiangxue be pleasing to the eye." If the Li family knew shame, she would not have seduced her elder brother and plotted against her younger brother. Such a woman is shameless and can say anything.
