boudoir

Chapter 144
Guo Xia watched her without moving for a long time.Liuli thought that she was not sincere enough in answering, so she quickly added: "I mean, with the outstanding character and appearance of the third girl, she can marry a noble family at will. Matching him is a perfect match."

The corners of Guo Xia's lips gradually raised, and there was another sound behind the bookshelf.

Liuli turned her head and glanced again, and couldn't help but said: "Sir, is there a rat here? Later, I will ask Qian Changsheng to ask two people to dispense some rat poison. It would be a pity if so many books were bitten."

Guo Xia lowered her head and took a sip of the tea, lowering her eyes and letting out a breath. "It's almost time, you go to class first."

Liuli glanced at Kelou, and sure enough, she had already arrived, so she hurriedly opened the door and came out.

Guo Xia watched her go out before turning back to look at the bookshelf.Du Rui came out from behind the bookshelf with a disheveled face and a look of resentment.

Liuli came out of Guo Xia's study, and the servant in the corridor was still standing there, staring at her like a fool when he saw her, and didn't know how to salute.She didn't expect there to be such unruly people in the mansion, she was curious, and when she was about to go up to ask, she suddenly saw Shuhua waving at her under the wisteria trellis, so she left him and walked over.

Shuhua walked into the classroom side by side with her, and said, "Those two potted flowers grow very well, they don't seem to be local."

Liuli said: "I'm a common man, I'm just arty and not very proficient in flowers and trees. But it is said that I came from Siam."

Shuhua stopped and smiled at her: "You are an ordinary person, but you have amazing calligraphy. I have read the scriptures you copied for the old lady. When will you write two calligraphy for me?"

Liuli said: "If you don't mind, I will write to you tomorrow."

Shuhua smiled and stepped up the steps with her.

Liuli returned to Anxi Hall after school, perhaps because of the continuous autumn rain, the old lady lay in bed most of the time.Seeing Liuli come back, she raised her hand for a long time before touching the back of her hand.Liuli hadn't had an easy time these few days, because finding out the real culprit, Mrs. Yu, would not make up for the damage she suffered from not being able to return to the old lady's body.Although she is quite important in the eyes of others now, when it comes to real power in the mansion, she still has no half.

Wu Yinzhong came here almost every day these days, but every time he came, his brows frowned even deeper.A few days ago, his eldest son had been recommended by the old lady to enter the imperial hospital, perhaps because of this level, he became more cautious about the old lady's body.Liuli sometimes wanted to ask about his old lady's condition, but she dared not ask whenever she got to the point of her mouth, for she was afraid that what she would hear would make her feel even more uncomfortable.

So every day, she can only force herself to talk and laugh in front of the old lady, so as to make her life easier for the rest of her life.

"I went to see Mr. Guo today. He said that the Marquis of Huaining intends to let the third girl be their grandson-in-law. This is another good marriage. Compared with the draft marriage, it is not bad at all. It seems that the fifth girl is getting married After that, the mansion will be lively again soon."

The old lady was eating the yam porridge she fed, and stared at her for a while, "Have you ever thought about what kind of husband-in-law you will have in the future?"

Liuli didn't expect her to ask such a naked question, but she was never the kind of twisted person, she just blushed, and said: "I don't want a wealthy family, as long as he can wholeheartedly treat you in this life. I'll be fine. Just like the old man treats you."

The old lady smiled, her eyes drifted far away, "But your old lady has also taken concubines in this life."

Looking at her face, Liuli always felt that there was infinite sorrow in that smile.Maybe every woman has a wish in her heart to live together as a pair of mandarin ducks and fly together. It is only because of the words "husband is wife" and all kinds of etiquette and boudoir, so she has to feel wronged. A tolerant wife and mother.Even looking at such a loving old lady, at the end of her life, in her heart, she also had the regret that he once took a concubine.

It was cloudy and rainy for several days, maybe it was an auspicious day for Yanhua's wedding, but the sky opened up the next day, and the sun was high early in the morning, very brilliant.

Liuli had helped the old lady get up early in the morning, and remembered the words she had promised to write to Shuhua, so she went back to her room and called Ruier to come in and grind it.

Seeing her spreading the paper, Rui'er remembered something, "When I was going to frame a collection of poems last time, the shopkeeper of Shangpin Study asked me again, asking if my master's calligraphy would be sold."

"Sell it!" Liuli was stunned, then raised her head, "I'm short of money, you go and find out what price he can offer."

"Then I'll go right away." Rui'er said, put Mo down, called Haitang in, and tidied up and went to the back garden.

Liuli had already thought about selling calligraphy to make money, but Zirui'er was not around at that time, so it was difficult to operate, and later she forgot about it when she came back to the mansion because of Yu's matter.Now the shopkeeper can still think of this matter, how can she refuse?

Rui'er moved quickly, Liuli had just finished writing the two words, and she had already turned around. "The shopkeeper said that according to your master's skills, if it is four feet Xuan, it can be sold for two taels of silver a piece, and for six feet Xuan is three taels of silver. If it sells well, the price can be increased in the future."

"so much?"

Liuli was a little overjoyed.A four-foot character can be sold for two taels of silver, so if she writes five paintings a day, wouldn't she be able to earn ten taels?As the days go by, the daily expenses can be saved.So he said: "Okay, I'll write two pieces of calligraphy later and you take them with you, and tell him that I promise to give him at least twenty pieces of calligraphy a month. But the money must be paid in cash."

Rui'er nodded, "Shangpin Study Room is one of the largest study rooms in Beijing. It is said that the backstage has a lot of history, and I think the money can be guaranteed."

After solving this matter, Liuli couldn't help feeling more confident, rolled up the two written words and was about to send them to the second room in person, when Hongmei suddenly came in: "Miss Jiu, the third wife and the others are discussing matters in the Begonia courtyard. It's the old lady's current diet, please show me the girl."

Hearing this, Liuli guessed that it must be because of Yu Shi's poisoning incident, these people were afraid of getting dust on it, so they blamed it on her.But it was about the old lady, she had to go, so she simply took the letter and went to Haitang Courtyard.

Now the Begonia Courtyard has become a place where the wives of each house discuss their daily affairs. When Liuli stepped into the threshold, the three of them were drinking tea.Seeing her coming, Mrs. Nie first went to the tea bowl and waved to her: "Miss Jiu, sit down, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." Mrs. Qi said lightly, Mrs. Liang glanced at Mrs. Nie, but smiled at Liuli, and then Let the maids serve tea.

Liuli Yili had seen the three of them, and sat down on the lower right, "I don't know why the ladies called me here?"

Mrs. Qi glanced at Mrs. Liang, Mrs. Liang smiled, and said: "It is for the supplies in the old lady's house. When the eldest lady was there, she was in charge of delivering all the supplies for the old lady. Now that she is gone, The three of us are not familiar with the flowers in Anxitang. After much deliberation, it is better for Nine Girls to do this. First, we can rest assured that you are in charge of this, and second, you are also familiar with the needs of the old lady's house. , We will allocate you a pass card from a large library here, but if you want to order something, you can ask someone to take the pass card to get it yourself, which saves a lot of time. What do you think?"

After listening to the secret passage, Liuli did as she expected, there was a mess in this matter, and now the three of them naturally shirk each other and refuse to deal with it, what is unfamiliar, won't they be familiar after reading the account book a few more times?These three old foxes spoke grandiosely, as if they were true.

She read here silently for a while, then held the tea bowl in her hand, sighed and said: "At my age, I would never dare to interfere in these matters. Da Furen made me really scared this time, you guys Madam actually wants to give me this big Kutong card this time, if something happens again, I will jump into the Yellow River and I won’t be able to wash it off.”

"How could it be?" Liang said straight back: "With this brand, no one can get close to these things except the girl and your own people. How can anyone make trouble from it? Besides, How many people like Da Furen are there in this mansion?"

Liuli glanced at her, hesitated and said nothing.The corner of Nie's mouth twitched and he glanced at Qi, and then said: "Second sister-in-law, don't say that too harshly, you won't, I won't, but there's no guarantee that others won't. Ninth girl is still a half-grown child , It is not easy to escape from death, if anyone wants to borrow her to do something, he will not be sure whether she can wash clean again!"

As soon as she said that, Liuli looked at Qi Shi.Qi's sitting posture remained the same as before, but the gaze she cast on Nie implied cruelty.

Liuli and Aunt Su tried their best to pull Mrs. Yu down, but it was Mrs. Qi who got the most advantage. Although Mrs. Nie's words were suspected of being a villain, judging from her current status, it may not be the same as Mrs. Yu's mood back then. It's different, when there is no full power in the palm of your hand, maybe everyone will feel like a stick in their throat and feel uncomfortable?
But she is different from Mrs. Yu. Changing to Mrs. Yu, she may have turned her face at this moment. Mrs. Qi has always been quiet, but at this moment, she would rather be ruthless in the dark than easily confront her face to face conflict.

"Why are the four younger siblings talking like this?" Seeing that Nie's steadfastness was not changed, Mrs. Liang made a fuss, fearing that Liuli would refuse to agree, and immediately became anxious. I can't forgive you either!"

Liu Li glanced sideways and sneered from the bottom of her heart.When she was really unlucky, she, Mrs. Liang, didn't even have time to watch the excitement, so she couldn't spare the person who hurt her?Since they wanted to hand over the hot potato to her, she might as well stir up the pot of water.She leaned on the armrest and cleared her throat, and said slowly: "Since there are words from the second lady, it would be unreasonable for me not to accept them. Then please ladies, please show me this sign."

Liang Shi felt relieved, glanced at Qi Shi, took out a token from the box on the table, and handed it to Liuli, "This is the token that Daku Ling uses exclusively for Anxi Hall, young lady put it away gone."

Holding the sign in hand, Liu Li suddenly said: "It's almost the end of the year, and when the winter moon arrives, it's time for Zhuangzi to pay the annual offering. I heard that three of the six stewards in Zhuangzi were inserted by the old lady." Yes, I don’t know if this year the central government of the mansion has suddenly changed hands, will those people cause any trouble? Maybe we should mention it to the old man and ask him to replace those people quickly.”
