Chapter 199 Other Plans
After returning to the room, Liuli asked Rui'er to go to the third room to inquire about Qi's pregnancy. After changing her clothes, Rui'er came back and said, "Dr. Come out, but judging from the mouth of the servant, it should be pregnant."

Liuli thought about it, and asked her to invite Aunt Su over.

Qi's pregnancy is not only a major event for the third bedroom, but also a major event for the mansion.She is mainly in charge of the family and works a lot every day, and now she is pregnant at the advanced age of thirty, which will inevitably have an impact on her body.The Qi family will not disregard the children, so I am afraid that there will be some changes in the share of the rewards in the future.

Rui'er just asked Xiyue to go to the kitchen to have Aunt Su's meals brought to Yishou Garden, and Aunt Su arrived just in time.As soon as Liuli said the matter, she fell silent, obviously feeling a little sudden.

"The Qi family has great power, so they won't let go easily. I guess she will come out to take care of things with a full stomach. However, I don't think the third uncle will agree, so in the end she still has to let go of some power. In this way , the conflict between the second room and the fourth room will become obvious." Liu Li took a sip of tea, rubbed her hands together and said.

Aunt Su looked at her and said, "Even if there is a conflict between the second room and the fourth room, it has nothing to do with our first room."

"It's not completely okay." Liuli put the hand on the smoker cage and said: "Nowadays, it is said that the head of the Shangshu Mansion has fallen, and the third wife is in charge of the house. The third uncle was awarded a bachelor of the Martial Arts Hall a few days ago. Not to mention that this is due to the fact that the Qi family has been traveling a lot in recent years, which has invisibly expanded the contacts of the third uncle. Since the big house took over the Yu family, no one has participated in the donation so far. After all, he is also the eldest son of the old man. Seeing the old man's age It is getting bigger and bigger, and the burden of inheriting the family will be put on the head of the long house, and now the three houses have become powerful, and it will not benefit the long house to split up the family and start a mansion."

Aunt Su thought for a while, and said: "That's the case, and it doesn't have much to do with us. Could it be that after this catastrophe, do you still have any hope for the long house?"

"I don't have any hope for the long house, but you are still living here." Liuli paused, looked at her and said, "If I leave, you will be truly alone, and I am worried about you."

Aunt Su's future is something she has been thinking about. She and her have used each other from the beginning, to being forced to form an ally, and now to relying on each other. This feeling of sympathy and concern has never been experienced before. people may not understand.

She went to the Dingbei Prince's Mansion, so Auntie Su will be left here alone, so there is no need for He Yuli, it is good not to torture her.Although Min Hua came back from time to time, Ma Weiqing came from a poor family and was unable to support Aunt Su.What's more, when Liuli met this man surnamed Ma a few times, he always felt that this man's eyes flickered, and he felt that he was not on the right path.

Although Qi Yunhao is very powerful, it is a pity that he is too powerful. If he wants to protect Aunt Su's dignified status for Liuli's sake, there is no extravagant hope at present.Therefore, Liuli can only think for her first.

"You don't have to worry about it." Aunt Su turned her head away, "I have my own plans. When you get married, I'll... then, I'll go out of the house and go elsewhere. I have plans, you just need to be careful That's it."

Liuli said: "What are your plans? You are his aunt, not a relative who lives here, how can it be so easy to leave the house?"

"Don't worry about this!" Aunt Su stood up and turned her back.

Liuli didn't know whether her excitement was due to reluctance or sadness, but she was a little relieved when she heard that she had plans to leave the house for another life.As long as he is not here, it is not impossible for him to buy her a small house nearby and buy a few maids to serve her.

But there will still be scruples.

"Even if I don't consider you and don't get involved in this matter, Ruan Shi will get involved. This time is different from last time. Now she has been the young mistress of the mansion for several years, and Yu Shi is not here. If Zhong Chiu doesn't If she returns to the long room, she will also become fussy. Now that the power of Zhongfu is in her hands, then the housekeeping power of your long room must also be handed over."

Xie Shangshu was suspected of secretly hiding weapons back then, and the defendant conspired with King Qing to rebel. Although there was insufficient evidence later, the person who made the complaint was beaten down by King Qing for an excuse, but he was shocked after all. A king is like a tiger, so he resigned from the official position and returned to his ancestral home with the whole family.The Xie family was not good at housekeeping, without the help of her natal family, she couldn't speak in the long house. Thanks to He Tingyu who knows how to live and breathe, she is happy to be a husband and parent, but just like this, the Ruan family's momentum has risen.

He Tingyu and his wife are both genuine. When Mrs. Yu was copied by Mrs. Qi in the Buddha Hall to collude with Mr. Yu's family to deal with Mr. He's family, He Tingyu was still very good at maintaining Mr.Although Xie's emotions were very out of control when Liuli fell into Qi's scheme and disturbed Ruixi's three-dynasty banquet, but mother and daughter are connected, this reaction is normal.Later, Liuli's grievances were cleared up, but when Xie was still paying her respects to the old lady, she blessed her, expressing her attitude, and that was enough.

Therefore, in comparison, the Ruan family seems to be a bit good at drilling.

While talking, food has been delivered in the big kitchen.Rui'er put the food on the table, served soup for the two of them, and went out.

Aunt Su took a sip of the soup and said, "It's all right, as long as the old lady is here, at least my life will be safe."

Seeing that her face was determined, Liuli had no choice but to keep silent.Sometimes people are not as good as God, and it is really useless to think so much.For example, she thought that she and Du Rui would have a bright future, but in the end, didn't this wish stop in that icy world?
It suddenly occurred to Du Rui that it was not because she couldn't let him go, but that within a few days, Shuhua sent someone a letter, saying that Du Rui had rejected the engagement with Uncle Weiyuan's youngest daughter again.At this time, only Shuhua would tell her the news about Du Rui so bluntly.After reading the letter, Liuli burned it. She didn't have to think about it for a long time like Rui'er and others thought.

One cannot always look backward, but must look forward.It is not easy for her to live, and it is useless to think about these things that do not belong to her.

The little girls all came back to say goodbye to the new year, Shuhua held the child and asked the aunts for New Year's money, Liuli happily gave a big golden lock and a pair of pure gold bracelets.Meanwhile, Mrs. Qi almost fainted during Zhang Luo's family banquet. As a result, the news that she was pregnant spread. While all the people in the house clapped their hands together to congratulate, their eyes flickered as they looked at the next thing in her hand. What should Zhongfei do?

But perhaps it was really unfounded worry, the Qi family still organized the next New Year's banquet in an orderly manner, from the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year, as well as the worship at the ancestral hall, there was no mistake.This made the people who were waiting to see the good show unavoidably feel angry. After the fifteenth day, some of the lower managers couldn't hold back, and some accidents happened every few days.A few leaders were caught by the Qi family and beat up, but they restrained themselves a bit.Just because of this, Mrs. Qi lay on the bed for a few days.

These family affairs Liuli also heard from Ruier, since Aunt Su said that she had plans, Liuli didn't pay much attention to it, one is that there is no need for it, and the other is that there is no time.

She went to Prince Yu's mansion to show her face, and suddenly there were a lot of postings for the mansion, which already made her overwhelmed, and when the spring came, she should also start preparing for the dowry and wedding clothes.The dowry was given by the old lady, so it was easy to handle. Aunt Su went to the warehouse to order some, and there were as many as 64. I think it was planned for her to marry the Huaining Marquis at the beginning. About one hundred, it can also be called Limian.

Now that she is marrying into the Dingbei Prince's Mansion, it needs to be more grand, because the dowry is related to a woman's life, and because the second child of the Qi family married Yuhua, who was born as the eldest daughter, her status is much higher Well, if the dowry doesn't overwhelm her, she will naturally lose her momentum in the future.So Aunt Su added the four-carriage gifts given by the eldest princess back then, plus the allowance from the official business trip, and she added some more from herself, and she just made up a full 120 or [-] pounds for her.

For the wedding dress, Liuli had to make it herself. It was made by the most famous clothing store in Beijing. From top to bottom, it was full of flowers and flowers, and it was very complicated. There were many and meticulous things to embroider. Time is left to specialize in this, but even the time to go to Wutongyuan is much less.

It was her birthday again in April, and the rainy weather suddenly cleared up. Liuli was looking at the birthday gift from Huanhua, when Ren Ran came over suddenly, saying that Guo Xia had invited her to celebrate her birthday.Remembering that I hadn't been there for three or five days, I hurriedly cleaned up and asked Yue Gui to carry a basket of fresh fruits that had just arrived from the south and passed the Indus Courtyard.

On the night when Liuli was imprisoned, Guo Xia rushed to Huaining Hou's mansion in the snow, and she later learned from Huanhua, but Guo Xia still felt guilty for failing to facilitate her marriage with Du Rui.Although she didn't mention him, it was always revealed in her words.After this night, Liuli seemed to get closer to her. In her heart, Guo Xia was no longer just a teacher, but more like her relatives.

Guo Xia set up eight cold tables and twelve hot tables in the small flower hall to the south. Liuli thought there were still people coming, but Guo Xia said, "It's just me and you."

Liuli couldn't sit still, "If you only invite me, wouldn't so many dishes be wasted?" She knew the rule in the mansion, there is a big kitchen in every room to distribute the meals, and this is from the mansion. .But if you need to entertain guests, you have to pay for it yourself.Although Guo Xia is not short of this bit of money, it is a bit too grand after all.

Guo Xia poured wine for her with a smile, and said, "It's your birthday. By this time next year, you'll be busy getting married, and you won't have a chance again."

Liuli hurriedly stretched out her hands to cup it, respected her, and drank the wine first.

She can drink a little bit now, but this wine seems to be particularly delicious, and she is happy, so she can't help but drink a few more glasses.
