…………
A few days after Mrs. Liu San came back, she made such a big fuss, which no one expected. After all, Mrs. Liu San had been housekeeper for so many years. She took action to save the comprador, but failed to save the two kitchen stewards.
.Because Mrs. Liu San moved too fast. Liu Ruosi didn't know if Mrs. Liu regretted it. Mrs. Liu arranged this errand for Mrs. Liu San. She originally planned to trap Mrs. Liu San in these trivial matters.
To give Mrs. Liu San some embarrassment and show her power, Mrs. Liu did not expect that Mrs. Liu San would be so aggressive and so quick. Therefore, Mrs. Liu was on fire.
Although Mrs. Liu San was the one who kicked out Mrs. Liu, she still had not had enough fun. She still resented Mrs. Liu's arrangements, so she was holding her breath in her heart.
The two sisters-in-law are almost at odds with each other, which is why they are so tit-for-tat, even in front of Old Mrs. Liu. Fortunately, the two of them have a consensus. They know that on Old Mrs. Liu's birthday, they cannot
If you make a big deal out of things, no matter what happens, you can't lose your dignity in front of the distinguished guests from outside.
Mrs. Liu Er didn't care about things and had a gentle temper. Therefore, Mrs. Liu, Grandma Liu and Mrs. Liu San all went to complain to her. Liu Ruosi was on the side and listened to some of it.
"The eldest wife and the third wife are naturally at odds with each other," Mrs. Liu's second wife said to Liu Ruosi.
Liu Ruosi did not agree with this statement. If Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu San were not in their current identities and were not in the current environment, even if they could not get along, they would not necessarily be so tit-for-tat. Regarding Mrs. Liu San's actions, Liu Ruosi
Ruosi applauded secretly.
"I'm just too impatient." Liu Ruosi thought to herself. However, there was nothing she could do about it. Mrs. Liu San had such a character.
Several generations of the Liu family have been officials in the capital, so Mrs. Liu's sixtieth birthday was naturally packed with guests. On this day, all the dignitaries in the capital were entertained. Mrs. Liu was getting older. She didn't like to socialize, so she had no choice but to meet her.
Several official family members said they were tired. Mrs. Liu and Grandma Liu invited all the female guests to the Xinuang Pavilion in the back garden to entertain them.
Liu Ruosi stayed with Old Mrs. Liu for a while, then was taken away by Liu Ruoshan to see Mrs. Liu San. Mrs. Liu San was entangled in trivial matters. Fortunately, she had a fierce temper, but she could still be subdued. Liu Ruosi and
Liu Ruoshan and his wife sat with Mrs. Liu San for a while, and then Mrs. Liu San sent them out.
"What are you doing with me? You should go to the old lady and accompany her. Or... go and see where your eldest sister is. There are many female guests here today, so you should go and accompany her." Liu
The third wife had some freshly baked snacks brought up. After watching Liu Ruoshan and Liu Ruoshan eat some, she said to them. She also winked at Liu Ruoshan.
"Third girl, where is your mother? I can't get away from you. I'm going to see your mother. Let you lead your two sisters to meet the guests." Mrs. Liu San said to Liu Ruosi again.
He said, "You are not young anymore, it's time to learn these things."
Liu Ruoshan stood up. Liu Ruoshan saw that Mrs. Liu San was too busy with things and couldn't sit down for long, so she followed Liu Ruoshan out.
"Third sister, where are we going?" Liu Ruoshan asked Liu Ruoshan after coming out of Mrs. Liu San's place.
"It's better to go back to the old lady first." Liu Ruosi said.
Liu Ruoshan nodded, and the two of them went to Old Mrs. Liu's yard. Before they reached Old Mrs. Liu's yard, they saw Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan.
Liu Ruoyuan seemed to be particularly dressed up today. She was wearing a silver-red coat and skirt, and her head was covered with pearls. The most eye-catching thing was the red gold phoenix hairpin with pearls. Liu Ruoyuan followed behind Liu Ruoyuan. Although not as gorgeous as Liu Ruoyuan, she could still tell that she was passing by.
Dressed up carefully.
"Eldest sister, second sister," Liu Ruoshan and Liu Ruoyuan didn't want to deal with each other, but when they saw Liu Ruoyuan, they greeted her first, "Where are you going?"
Looking at Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan, they didn't look like they were going to Mrs. Liu's yard. Instead, they looked like they were going to the garden.
Liu Ruoyuan had seen Liu Ruosi and Liu Ruoshan a long time ago, and she didn't want to pay attention to it, but Liu Ruoshan was like this, Liu Ruoyuan had to stop, and looked up and down Liu Ruoshan and Liu Ruoshan with her eyes. She quickly changed from wearing light clothes to
He looked away from Liu Ruoshan and paid more attention to Liu Ruoshan.
Liu Ruoshan also wore a silver-red coat and skirt, the same style as Liu Ruoyuan, except for the embroidery. Looking at Liu Ruoshan's dress and jewelry, they are also gorgeous and brilliant. Mr. Liu San has been away from home for many years and has a lot of money. Mrs. Liu San
She was also willing to dress up Liu Ruoshan. Liu Ruoyuan's face looked a little ugly.
Not only did Liu Ruoshan wear matching clothes with her, but she also dressed better than her. This was something Liu Ruoyuan couldn't bear.
Liu Ruoshan returned to Liu Mansion and was really close to Liu Ruosi. Liu Ruoshan kindly reminded her twice, but Liu Ruoshan was young and had a fierce temper, so she didn't take these things seriously at all. Instead, she wanted to compete with Liu Ruoyuan everywhere, insisting on
You can’t compare to Liu Ruoyuan.
Liu Ruosi watched Liu Ruoyuan's expression change, but she didn't have an attack.
"Third sister, fourth sister, where have you been?" Liu Ruoyuan did not answer Liu Ruoshan's words, but asked, "The old lady is looking for you to do something. You go quickly."
Liu Ruosi felt that Liu Ruoyuan seemed to have something going on, and she didn't want her and Liu Ruoshan to be around, so she wanted to send them to Old Mrs. Liu.
"Sister, if the old lady has a eldest sister with her, what can happen to us?" Liu Ruoshan also saw it, so she said again, "Sister, dressed like this, where are you going? What's the matter?
It's a good thing, please take me and my third sister with you."
Liu Ruoyuan squinted at Liu Ruoshan, seeming to think that Liu Ruoshan was quite thick-skinned.
"I have business. Go and accompany the old lady. Otherwise, the old lady will blame you later, but don't blame me for not telling you." After Liu Ruoyuan said this, she ignored Liu Ruosi and Liu Ruoshan and took Liu Ruojuan there.
Went to the garden.
"Third sister, where are we going now?" Liu Ruoshan looked at Liu Ruoyuan's back, turned around and asked Liu Ruoshan with a smile.
"Where do you want to go, Fourth Sister?" Liu Ruosi couldn't help but laugh.
"Eldest sister must be in trouble." Thinking of Mrs. Liu San's hint just now, Liu Ruoshan said, "Third sister, I don't think the old lady might call us. We might as well follow eldest sister to have a look."
"It's up to you." Liu Ruosi said.
Liu Ruoshan sent a little girl to investigate. After a while, the little girl came back and reported that Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan had gone to Xinuang Pavilion.
"Let's go too." Liu Ruoshan said.
Liu Ruosi thought for a moment and then sent off on the fifth day of the lunar month to find Mrs. Liu Er. When she came back on the fifth day of the lunar month, she said that Mrs. Liu Er had been assigned an errand by Mrs. Liu and could not be distracted.
"You don't need Second Aunt to lead us, why don't we go by ourselves?" Liu Ruoshan said.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Liu Ruosi thought for a while and nodded, while she and Liu Ruoshan walked towards the garden. As soon as they reached the entrance of the garden, they saw two people walking in the diagonal path, and stopped beside Liu Ruosi.
"Third sister." Liu Yuhai saluted Liu Ruosi.
"Third sister." Next to Liu Yuhai, there was a tall young man in brocade robes, who also smiled and said to Liu Ruosi.
"Cousin Zhang." Liu Ruosi was slightly startled, but she returned the courtesy. The visitor was Feng Jianzhang, the nephew of Madam Liu's Feng family. This time she came to Beijing on behalf of the Feng family to wish Madam Liu her birthday. Feng Jianzhang had been here for a few days.
He lived in the guest courtyard of the Liu family. Because he was Feng's nephew, he often walked around the back house.
"Where are the two sisters going?" Feng Jianzhang asked with a smile. A pair of eyes only lingered on Liu Ruosi's face. Feng Jianzhang is eighteen years old this year. He has a fair complexion, long eyebrows, and slender eyes. He looks like Liu Ruosi.
The wife is somewhat similar. She is a handsome young man. He is the legitimate son of Feng's family. It is said that he is both civil and military. Now he has passed the examination and has become a scholar, and his future is unlimited.
Liu Ruosi didn't want to see Feng Jianzhang, and she had tried her best to avoid the two meeting. However, a chance encounter like this could not be avoided.
"We were about to go to the Xinuang Pavilion. The old lady asked us to chat with the guests." Although she was reluctant, Liu Ruosi still replied, "Where are you going, cousin Zhang? Are you coming with us?"
Feng Jianzhang laughed and looked at Liu Ruosi with twinkling eyes. The people in Xinuang Pavilion were all female relatives, but he couldn't go. Now he was going to the entrance of the garden. If Liu Yuhai hadn't been with him, he shouldn't have been here.
of.
"Third sister is joking. Hai Di and I are going to go ahead to find our eldest cousin. Third sister, fourth sister, have you seen your eldest cousin?" Feng Jianzhang asked.
Liu Ruoshan and Liu Ruoshan both shook their heads.
"Then I won't disturb the two sisters." Feng Jianzhang said, stepping aside and letting Liu Ruoshan and Liu Ruoshan go first.
Liu Ruoshan nodded and followed Liu Ruoshan into the garden.
Liu Ruosi had walked so far away that her back could hardly be seen. Feng Jianzhang sighed and withdrew his gaze.
"Haidi, have you ever felt that your third sister doesn't seem to like me very much?"
…
Liu Ruosi and Liu Ruoshan had already arrived in front of the Xinuan Pavilion. They walked inside without letting anyone know. As soon as they reached the door, they heard Mrs. Liu talking and laughing inside.
"... She is seventeen, which is an imaginary age, and she has a small birthday. At that time, our old man was ill, so this girl fasted and chanted Buddha's name, saying that she would wait until her grandfather recovered from the illness before discussing the matter. As a result, the old man still went
Sorry for the delay. Now, the old lady's filial piety period has passed, and the girl is still thinking about it and won't let me talk about it. I just said that she doesn't have this reason, and she doesn't agree with etiquette.
. Even if God knows, the old man will not agree..."
"It's really touching that a big girl can be so pure and filial."
"I'm not saying that, our eldest daughter is really rare. Needless to say, filial piety is the first thing. Our old lady loves her as much as her eyes. She is the eldest daughter of the family, no better than others. It's also us.
Madam, I don’t pamper her. All female celebrities are taught by the best mothers... The housekeeper also takes our eldest daughter with him. Now in this family, if my wife and I don’t care, our eldest daughter will be
A girl can take charge..."
"If you are looking for a match for a girl with such talent and beauty, your family's door will probably be broken down by those young talents."
Liu Ruoshan heard this so clearly that she burst into laughter.
"Third sister, did you hear me? It turns out that the eldest sister wants a son-in-law!"
