When they found out that the brother in charge of the Huang Mansion had sent someone, they immediately called for someone to come in and told Liu Xiaolan to pour tea for the guests.
This kind of thing, usually had nothing to do with the Liu Dao Xiang sisters.
"Got it, sister, don't worry. I'll sneak out to the back of the house and eavesdrop."
Mrs Liu was so happy that her mouth couldn't even close as she replied with a smile, "Thank you for your blessings. If my four sons were to enter high school in the future, Manager Zhou would have to give him a thin mask and come for a cup of water and wine."
Steward Zhou naturally agreed to come and touch the happiness.
Logically speaking, the next step would be for Manager Zhou to present the gift slip.
Liu Qi wanted to urge him to hand it over as soon as possible, but when he saw the red silk bundles piled up in the yard, his heart was on fire.
Chief Steward Zhou naturally understood when he saw this, but when he thought of the other things he had yet to say, he pondered for a moment. Seeing that Liu Qi didn't ask about his eldest son, he could only bite the bullet and said, "Old madam, I almost forgot to mention one more thing. It's your eldest son, Account room Liu, who asked me to bring a letter."
Mrs Liu Qi was stunned for a moment. She was really unfamiliar with the term "Account room Liu", but then she realised that wasn't her eldest son Mr. Account room?
"Didn't he send a message back?"
Hearing this, she felt displeasure in her heart. She guessed that it couldn't be that her eldest daughter-in-law found it hard to leave and wasn't willing to come back, right? This pillow wind is too sharp.
Therefore, she thought to herself that when her eldest son's family returned, she would find an opportunity to teach his wife a lesson so that she could be reminded of the one in charge.
Since Mrs Liu Qi was able to be Huang Da Nang's concubine, she naturally recognized the characters and received the letter home with a smile.
Seeing the familiar pen and ink on the envelope, Mrs. Liu Qi was already burning with anger. Fortunately, she still knew that there was a customer here, so she suppressed the anger in her heart and asked with a gentle smile, "Sigh, this kid doesn't know if he's eaten well outside, has slept well, and doesn't know how his body is anymore. Every time he writes a letter, he only reports his joy and worries."
One must know that the ancient people valued filial piety greatly. If they could come back, they would have to return home to live a clear life. In ancient times, it was a very important day to live a clear life.
Even if she was beaten to death, she wouldn't say that her son wasn't coming back to hang on the mountain. If this news spread out, it would affect her son's reputation.
Naturally, Supervisor Zhou couldn't help but comfort her with a few words.
He then heard her ask: "Sigh, I left Huang Mansion in the blink of an eye, and have been for dozens of years. Now that my son has gone to work, and I don't know how things are in the city, it's a pity that I couldn't get out of it before, if I could, I would have gone to the capital to meet Eldest Young Madam.
Liu Dao Xiang, who was eavesdropping at the back of the house, could not help but twitch in disdain.
Steward Zhou was naturally an intelligent person, he immediately replied that when he returned to his residence, he would definitely bring her mind to Huang Da Nang.
Oh, at that time, the Huang Da Nang had already risen in rank to Mrs Huang, and also had a title with him.
"How have you been lately?" I presume everyone's life is going smoothly. " Liu Qi's parents had left a long time ago, leaving only his brothers to work there.
Steward Zhou thought that she was still praising the lords of the Zhou Mansion, so he replied, "Everything is fine in the mansion, the young masters have gone to school, the young ladies have been invited to the west wing to teach, the madams and grandmothers are still well, the lords have all left to attend to their duties, the mansion is not urgent normally."
Her son had written three pages of his letter saying that the house was particularly busy this year. He also said that the house was filled with many girls' films, as well as many mansions. He had been busy planning his life every day, and really couldn't pull himself out of it.
Furthermore, it had rained heavily this year, and it was hard to walk on the road. The mansion was also busy with farming in the spring, and as the Account room, he had been busy with the business of money entering and leaving everyday.
"I remember that meeting at the mansion when the old mistress was in charge. It seems that she was also busy farming in the spring. Now that she is in charge of the house, she is probably too busy to touch the ground."
"Of course not, those are under the management of the manor. The eldest young mistress is just using her mouth. Besides, there are old examples of farming every year, so it's fine as long as you act according to the rules." Supervisor Zhou really knew what to say.
Unexpectedly, Mrs Liu Qi had already gnashed her teeth in hatred. Since the mansion was not busy at all, why didn't she come back to visit her father and mother?
He also thought about how he had said in the letter that he was short on money, and he felt both sorry and regretful. At the same time, he felt that it wasn't easy for him to establish a foothold in the provincial capital, and at the same time, he was angry that he had no parents.
Supervisor Zhou gave her the gift slip and received an oral reply from Liu Qi. When the sky cleared, she would take her daughter to the Western Region to see her little grandnephew.
After that, he went to his room to prepare the three courtesies before returning to the provincial capital with the gifts.
Liu Dao Xiang had doubts in her heart, she felt that if Liu Xigui did not come back to write a letter, the matter would not be so simple.
Most of the time before dusk, Liu Rengui brought his whole family over, full of joy.
"Mother, I heard that the Zhou Mansion has sent someone over?"
The moment Liu Rengui entered the door, he made Liu Qi feel unhappy.
She immediately let go of her face. If the look in her eyes could cut people into bones, then Liu Sun would only be left with a skeleton standing in the courtyard.
"Yo, I thought my own son was raised for someone else!"
Liu Rengui called his mother in embarrassment.
Liu Sun curled his lips at the side, barely able to follow and shout.
After all, he was his own son. When Liu Qi saw that his family had returned, the resentment in his heart calmed down a little. He glanced at Liu Sun out of the corner of his eyes, then looked at her and scolded, "You still have a face? It's not that we don't live well, is it? Why did you come back here? "
Liu Sun pinched Liu Rengui's waist tightly, he immediately understood what she meant, "Mother, what are you saying? We rushed all the way back without even drinking a single mouthful of saliva."
Liu Qi raised his hand, pointed at Liu Sun and scolded, "Noble benevolent, speak clearly for mother. It's clear and bright today. Why did you come back in the afternoon?"
Liu Rengui turned his head to look outside the door. There were people farming in the village, they stretched their necks and looked in his direction. When they saw Liu Rengui greeting him, they followed to shout out.
"That's right, I had something to delay me today. My mother was unhappy and said that she would pinch my ears to come over for stir-fry tonight."
As a servant of the Jiu Family, Liu Rengui had long learnt to be glib tongued.
Hearing this, the other party laughed heartily and teased him a few more times before turning back to his work.
Liu Rengui coaxed Liu Qi, "Mother, look at how blocked the door is. The neighbors know how to gossip, and they thought you weren't easy to deal with."
"I'm not easy to get along with?" Now, the entire village knew that she was a harsh wife. Fortunately, she had already planned for her own daughter to follow that young noble, four sons. Once he became an Elementary Scholar, he would not look favorably upon these mud-limbed girls, and he would definitely ask for a wife for her.
At that time, the people around him would all be jealous of their own homes.
That's right, Mrs Liu never thought of herself as a village woman. She had always thought that since she was born in the Huang Mansion, she was more than one or two times more noble than these mud legs.
Liu Rengui saw that her face was even more unsightly, he did not know what was wrong with what he said, but he knew how to read people's expressions, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said: "Mother, who has the guts to bully you, who will avenge your son?"
Liu Qi felt that his second son didn't forget his mother as soon as he had a wife, so he didn't bring up this issue. "Who dares to bully me?!"
"Mother, please calm down. Let's go back to the house first." Liu Rengui smiled as he reached out to support Liu Qi's arm, then indicated for Liu Sun to support him on the other side.
Then, he let Liu Zhuer who was carrying the ceremony walk in front.
This was a trick. He didn't need to take credit to let Liu Qi see the respect in his hand. In this way, the anger in Liu Qi's heart would naturally be extinguished.
Liu Qi swept the items in Liu Zhuer's hands with her eyelids raised, and her originally unconcerned eyes slightly lit up. Other than the meat and wine, there was also a paper cover.
Liu Qi's expression became a little better as she smiled and said to Liu Rengui, "Quickly come in and sit." Then he shouted to the West Side Room: "Dao Xiang, get your second uncle and the others two bowls of tea."
"Got it." Liu Dao Xiang answered loudly from inside the house.
Liu Rengui's family had just sat down, and Liu Dao Xiang used a wooden tray to bring over a few bowls of tea.
Liu Sun's eyes flashed with a bright light, his gaze landed on the teacup, muttering to himself that his wife was being biased again.
"This is Dao Xiang ah, I haven't seen him for a few months, he has grown quite a bit, and is becoming more hardworking and sensible."
Liu Rengui received the tea, and praised Liu Dao Xiang a little pretending to be him.
If it was a normal child, they would really think that they were as good as his mouth made them think, it was all thanks to Liu Dao Xiang's hard core that she was an adult.
