Chapter 537: Life is a long time, we’ll see!
Jiayin shrank her neck subconsciously. The fact was that she hugged her thigh too actively, which made the daughter-in-law jealous.
Mrs. Wen quickly said, "The princess is also a child, so this is inevitable. From now on, Fu Niu'er will rarely come into the palace and will not meet the princess again. Whether she likes her or not, it doesn't matter."
This is reasonable. Mrs. Li told her granddaughter, "Don't go out and have fun in the future. In the past few days, pick up your sewing and reading. Don't be lazy."
"I know, grandma." Jiayin quickly nodded in agreement, extremely well-behaved.
At this time, Li Laoer walked out of the house. He called Shuiling, handed over the empty teapot, and then said to his mother, "Mom, Fu Niu'er is the princess, and I'm afraid she will have to enter the palace often in the future. Hiding is hiding. Don't go there!
"The palace is not like our family, where people's hearts are too complicated. In my opinion, you can learn the rules carefully, but reading and sewing are more or less enough. After all, the family does not expect Fu Niu'er to take the imperial examination or become an embroiderer.
“But Divine Doctor Zhang wants Fu Niu’er to go there a few more times. It’s good to learn some self-defense skills. We don’t have to worry about Fu Niu’er wherever she goes.”
Although Mrs. Li is the head of the family, her sons have all gotten married and started businesses, and she is willing to listen to their opinions.
What’s more, when my son spoke this time, it was for the sake of his granddaughter!
Think about it carefully, reading and sewing are indeed not as important as the ability to save your life.
So, she responded cheerfully, “Well, from now on, I’ll go to Dr. Zhang in the morning and study and learn needlework in the afternoon.
“In a moment, I’ll invite Divine Doctor Zhang here and say hello first. We’ll see if Fu Niu’er really has this talent, and then we’ll think about becoming a disciple.”
"Okay, mother, I'll go and invite you right away." Li Laoer said to Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng who were in the same room, and then left the yard.
His eagerness surprised Mrs. Li a little, but she soon started setting the table, and her doubts were put aside.
As soon as the food was served, Doctor Zhang came back with Li Laoer, accompanied by the village chief and **** Liu.
I don’t know if the anesthetic that Dr. Zhang worked on was successful, but he looks good.
So, Mrs. Li said that she would send good news to him in the future and study pharmacology seriously with him.
Divine Doctor Zhang immediately agreed, and even made the request unceremoniously, "My shabby thatched cottage is really not what it looks like. Take advantage of your free time to build me a small courtyard with two entrances. Fu Niuer will come and go in the future." It’s more convenient to go out.”
"Okay," Li Laoer said immediately, "there are only two more days until the melons are sold out, and there is still half a month before the autumn harvest. This period of free time will be enough to build a yard."
The village chief uncle also said, "It happens that several families in the village are planning to marry their daughter-in-law in winter. The houses are not enough for them and they need to build wing rooms. It will be cheaper to buy wood and stones together."
Liu Biaotou also said, "Tomorrow afternoon, I will ride to the stone field to ask."
Everyone was talking and eating, which was very lively.
The good news stayed in the palace for most of the day, which was also a waste of energy. After eating and drinking, I felt sleepy.
Mrs. Li just finished eating, so she took her granddaughter back to take a bath and go to bed.
It was not until her granddaughter was snoring that she heard the door to the courtyard, so she opened the window and whispered to her daughter-in-law who had just come in, "Hongying, why are you finishing your work? Jinrou and the others have gone back?"
Tao Hongying smiled and said, "Yes, mother. The second brother, Mr. Liu and Mr. Wen were in a good mood and wanted to have a few drinks. I prepared some side dishes for them, so they were busy for a while."
"I know, you should rest quickly. Men are willing to drink a few drinks if they get together." Mrs. Li told her, closed half of the window, and then lay down next to her granddaughter.
When my granddaughter is older, the grandparents and grandson usually sleep in separate rooms.
But for some reason today, Mrs. Li just feels a little uneasy. Only by staying aside like this can she feel better...
In the front yard, there is a Kang table in Li Laoer's room.
On the Kang table were placed a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of boiled edamame, a plate of cucumbers, and a plate of fried fish.
Li Laoer took the wine pot, filled the glasses for Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen, and the three of them drank it all in one gulp. Before Li Laoer could speak, Mr. Wen said, "Yusheng, do you have anything to do in the palace today? Let's talk about it and let's discuss it."
Li Laoer smiled and asked, "How can you tell, sir, that there is something on my mind?"
Liu Zhiheng picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, grabbing the conversation and saying, "You almost have to show your unhappiness on your face! It's okay to deceive the whole family, but you won't be able to deceive us."
Li Laoer sighed, poured wine for the two of them, and then told the story about Jiayin being bullied in the palace.
Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng treated the good news as their own nieces, and their faces were cold when they heard it.
"The Wu family is getting more and more hopeless! It's so shameless to send a daughter to win over the Marquis, and to take it out on a child!" Mr. Wen cursed angrily.
Liu Zhiheng also sneered and said, "The emperor was suppressed by the Queen Mother and was unable to take charge of the throne. The daughter of the Wu family has become the queen, but the Wu family still runs to please the Queen Mother just to avoid being suppressed. It really has no spine at all.
“I didn’t expect that now, seeing that the Marquis has made great achievements in battle, and cooperates with the emperor both externally and internally, he really has the potential to regain the country, and he wants to take advantage of it.
“One queen is not enough, we need a marquis in the family! The Wu family really has a good appetite, and they are not afraid of stuffing themselves to death.”
After that, they told Li Laoer the details of the Wu family.
Li Laoer heard that he was serious and asked a few more questions.
Mr. Wen hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Yusheng, do you want to vent your anger on Fu Niuer?"
Li Laoer shook his head and laughed sarcastically, "How dare I? She is the queen, and our Li family is just a bunch of people who just had a good life. I'm afraid they don't even take notice of our Li family. We are blocking the car with our arms, so... Of course I won’t do anything stupid, but..."
He raised his hand to drink the wine from the glass, straightened his face, and said, "However, life is too long, and the wind and water are changing, who can predict the future."
Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng looked at each other and nodded.
Mr. Wen said, "As long as you have an idea in your mind, you will see everything later."
Liu Zhiheng also said, "For the time being, Fu Niu'er is not allowed to enter the palace. I think the Wu family will still have to work **** the Marquis so as not to anger Fu Niu'er again."
Li Laoer's eyes flashed, and he turned to talk about the opening of Baiyuan Garden.
Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng both agreed to bring their relatives and friends to support them, and Li Laoer thanked them.
The three of them drank more and more, chatting all over the place, and it wasn't until midnight that they broke up and fell asleep.
Early on the next morning, Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen both hurried back to the city.
Mrs. Wen planned to stay for half a day longer. It would be okay to go home and join in the fun here in Xincun.
As for giving jade melons as gifts, just write the post and give it to Sister-in-law Qiong.
At three o'clock in the morning, Jiayin followed grandma and Mrs. Wen, and was about to go to Huiniang's house to sit and talk about how to learn needlework in the afternoon.
But before he could go out, the team from the palace to deliver rewards arrived.
Perhaps she was reprimanded by the emperor yesterday, and the queen was frightened. She wanted to compensate the Li family and show her virtue, so the reward this time was particularly generous.
There were six carriages, followed by more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs, and a group of 100 imperial guards. They were so powerful that they were afraid that others would not know that the queen had rewarded the Li family and the new village.
