Chapter 21 On the Full Moon
After eating Qiao Guo, making wishes to the white and soft moon, the family chatted together for a few more times, and the Li family’s Qiqiao Festival passed just like that.
On the contrary, Mother Li followed Li Sanniang on her way back to her room with Luzhu'er. In the small courtyard where Li Sanniang lived, she quietly asked Li Sanniang if she really didn't plan to get married again.
Li Sanniang sighed in her heart, "If you raise a child for a hundred years, you will have to worry for ninety-nine." Li's mother didn't think it was bad for Li Sanniang to get divorced, nor did she think it was bad to bring Lu Zhu'er back home. She just felt that if Li Sanniang spent the rest of her life... It is not good to be alone, no one knows whether it is hot or cold, and no one can rely on Li Sanniang.
“Aniang, Luzhu’er is not yet three years old, so I don’t have that thought for the time being. If I really want to stay with another family later, I’ll tell Aniang first.”
< br>
"It's all thanks to me and you, Aye, I shouldn't have chosen such a heartless man for you in the first place!"
"Aniang, I really don't want to leave another family at this time. I have Aye at home." My mother loves her very much, my elder brothers and sisters-in-law, my second brother and my sister-in-law also take good care of me, and even my nephews are very fond of my little aunt. My son also has Lu Zhuer, what regrets do I have in raising Lu Zhuer in the future? Isn’t it a good thing for her to marry a good family?”
“What about after marrying Pearl?”
“A-niang? , why worry about what will happen in the future? Maybe I will meet the right husband in the future, or maybe I will just stay with Luzhu'er in the future.
I can still sit in court like Aye. Wouldn't it be great to find a female disciple for this skill? If Lu Zhu'er likes it, I can teach it to Lu Zhu'er.
No matter how bad it is, one of my five nephews will always be jealous of their little aunt. I will give my money to whoever will provide for me in my old age. "
"You, you, I can't speak to you. Okay, let's take Luzhu'er back to the room to rest. ”
Although Li’s mother was blocked by Li Sanniang, Li’s mother still wanted to let Li Sanniang have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
Those and Li Sanniang There are very few people who bring their wives back home without remarrying.
There are rumors that there are many good-looking men coming and going in Princess Cheng'an's palace.
Of course, Li Sanniang has no intention of finding a man. Let alone Princess Chengan, how many women in modern times can find a man to fall in love after divorce?
Hmph, men not only influence me to raise Zaizai, but also influence me to upgrade the system and shine in the Tang Dynasty!
In a few days, Kogoro will be one month old!
Mother Li, Sister-in-law Li, Li Sanniang and Lu Zhuer gathered in Sister-in-law Li’s house to discuss how to host the full moon banquet.
After listening to what Li Sanniang said, Mother Li decided to do double confinement for Sister-in-law Li. She was not a harsh family, and Mother Li didn’t think that her son would not want her after he got married and had a wife. , unlike some families where the mother-in-law hates seeing her son-in-law have a good relationship, as if the daughter-in-law has robbed her son.
So Li's mother made a direct decision. Sister-in-law Li had committed a serious crime by giving birth to Kogoro, and the family could afford it, so she would do double confinement!
Sister-in-law Li didn't have any objections. After all, she was there to help second sister-in-law Li when she gave birth. After seeing that scene, I really didn't think there was anything wrong with being a double confinement woman.
If she really had any thoughts, she would not have had Li Erlang for more than ten years, nor would a third child have been born.
Yes, she and Brother Li took the initiative to use birth control. They felt that two sons were enough and they did not want a third child. This is indeed a rare idea nowadays, but Li's father and Li's mother did not interfere. And, whatever you think is good.
Li Er's sister-in-law was naturally grateful and not unhappy about this. At this moment, Li Er's sister-in-law was holding Xiao Wulang and burping her baby. She turned directly to Li's mother and said: "Auntie, Wu Lang is not The eldest son and grandson can just invite a few people from my natal family and my sister-in-law’s natal family to the full moon banquet. He is such a small person, there is no need for such ostentation.”
"How can that be feasible?
It has been seven or eight years since our last full moon banquet. This time, it should be lively and lively. In addition to your natal family, there is also the eldest daughter-in-law's natal family. You guys? Ye Ke said, you have to invite your eldest uncle, Mr. Zhou's house next door, plus Sun Fangzheng's family
There are also colleagues who are friends with your eldest brother, doctors and pharmacies who are friends with our family. The shopkeepers have to invite each other.
The question now is whether you, Aye Na, or I will invite the Qian family, and whether Lu Zhuer’s Aye family will be invited.”
Li Sanniang really didn’t expect that there would be something of her own here.
"Auntie, the husband of the Qian family means that you can post when you should, but generally only people with gifts will not come to this kind of family."
Sister-in-law Li heard Mother Li's troubles , said directly.
“Aniang, although my son and Wang Erlang have reconciled and separated, Lu Zhuer will always be the daughter of the Wang family, and Wang Erlang is hers, and she cannot change it.
Wang Dalang This person is quite good. Grandma Wang’s displeasure is not important. Wang Dalang is still the one who makes the decision.
So, just invite the Wang family. It doesn’t matter. Not to mention, a few days ago, The Wang family also gave a couple of silver as Lu Zhuer’s child support this month.”
"Then just invite Wang Dalang, and Wang Erlang don't come. I will get angry when I see him. I can't beat him out without a broom."
"Sister-in-law, you have thought of something. Why are you still laughing?" Second Sister-in-law Li was walking with Xiao Wulang in her arms, and when she saw Sister-in-law Li was laughing secretly, she asked curiously.
"Haha, I was thinking, you said, I have been married to our family for fifteen years, and now we have to post posts for people to entertain guests. This post is the one I sent to my husband a few days ago. I bought them at a pen, ink, paper and inkstone shop on the way to school. They are very expensive. Each piece costs several coppers.
Our family is getting better and better. It seems to me that Luzhu'er brought this. , Since Lu Zhuer came home, our family's life has been getting better and better. "Haha, it's true what the elder man's wife said.
< br>
I have all the keys to the yard I bought from Mr. Zhou’s house next door. After Wu Lang’s full moon celebration is completed, I will find someone to open a door to the west yard, which will make it easier to come and go. Let’s go and tidy up the yard. , see how to plan well.
Also, we haven’t visited Sanniang’s yard yet. When we got down, we tidied it up together to see if it would be better for us to use it ourselves or rent it out to Sanniang to collect rent. ”
If Mother Li didn’t say anything, everyone had almost forgotten the property Li Sanniang bought in Blacksmith Alley.
I’ve been really busy lately, and the Li family is busy every day. .
"Well, I will have to trouble the eldest daughter-in-law again. I won't be home all the time when the second eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, and there are already people in the house asking about when I will deliver the baby.
When I am not at home, you two should not wash your clothes by yourself. Although the hot water in the sun is warm in the sun, one of you has to look after Wu Lang well, and the other has to take care of the house. Where can you have time?
I have made an agreement with Granny Sun’s family. She will come to our house on the 5th to collect the clothes, wash them, dry them and then send them back. I will pay her with the money I paid for delivering the baby. ”
“Aniang, how can we use the money provided by Aniang? It’s better for us to pay for it ourselves.” "
" Hee hee, Aniang, take your son and Lu Zhuer's clothes back with you. I'll pay for them myself, but I'm really impatient to wash those clothes. "
"You, you, you have to say, I have already made an agreement with Granny Sun, and all the clothes for the whole family have been purchased. However, for your love of cleanliness, you really should pay part of the copper coins yourself. Your clothes for five days should be worth seven or eight days. ”
"No problem, I'm just worried. It's been hot in the past few days, so I and Lu Zhu'er have changed quite a lot of clothes."
Mother Li couldn't hold it back and saw Li Sanniang climbing along the pole. Then he reached out and tapped her on the forehead.
"Okay, okay, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second son's daughter-in-law don't have to fight with me. I still have the money, otherwise I would be busy outside all day.
Besides, it's also It’s not easy for her to take care of Mrs. Sun’s business and raise two children by herself.
And when the time comes, why don’t you invite Mr. Wang to come and cook a few tables? “I saw that you all ate well.”
In the end, it was unanimously approved, and Mr. Wang was asked to prepare a few tables, keeping the public account.
The ladies were still discussing what kind of clothes would look good on Kogoro that day. Li Gui, the young man, called Li Sanniang several times in the yard, and then brought a man and a woman wearing round clothes. The man wearing the robe and soap boots was waiting in the main hall.
After leaving the house, Li Guicai told Li's mother, Li Sanniang, that it was an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs who came to the house to ask about Li Sanniang and Lu Zhu'er.
Li Sanniang explained to Li’s mother that Li Lingshi probably said that when He Li wanted custody of Lu Zhuer, officials would come to the house to ask how Lu Zhuer was doing. It was not a bad thing. Son.
Sister-in-law Li helped pour the tea, and a man and a woman introduced themselves and greeted each other. She also specially called Lu Zhuer and asked them one by one, like "How much do you eat a day at home?" What do you do for dinner? What are you most happy about these days?
Lu Zhuer didn't understand, and happily led the two officials to see Xiao Huang and Xiao Huang's kennel under the jujube tree. In the end, she insisted on holding Xiao Huang's body and asking the female official to touch it.
Li Sanniang hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege. The female official was good-tempered, and the male officials were also good-tempered. She even teased Luzhu'er and asked, why didn't he also let him pet the little yellow dog? .
Finally, the two of them explained that since Princess Cheng'an brought her daughter to Heli more than ten years ago, many girls have taken their daughters home with Li. The Department of Hubu has summed up a complete set of There is a systematic process to ensure that the divorced girl can live well in her mother-in-law's home. In addition, those who take the girl and remarry for the second time also need to visit frequently to understand, because they are all girls, this Only then did some female officials who were not good enough followed.
This means that the Li family still belongs to the common people. Although Brother Li has entered Jinwu Guard, he has not accumulated many connections, and some news in the officialdom is unknown.
After learning that the Wang family had sent someone to pay one or two silver a time for child support, the male clerk wrote down the process and results of today's visit in his pocket book, and asked Li Sanniang to sign it.
Li Sanniang was very surprised that the charcoal pen used by the male official to write was somewhat similar to the charcoal pen that Brother Li would carry when he went to the countryside to collect medicinal herbs. Brother Li used it to record the medicinal herbs sold by the villagers so that he could settle the copper coins. of.
But the charcoal pens used by the officials are much more refined than those used by Brother Li. They also have cloth pen covers. Even the book is not the rice paper used by Li Sanniang to read the four little ones when practicing calligraphy. It's so good, but it's not as bad as straw paper. It's a little rough, but the charcoal pen with the sharp tip can write on it quite smoothly.
Li Sanniang was very interested, so she asked closely. The male official smiled and said proudly: "Oh, these charcoal pens and notebooks were specially issued to us by the superiors, saying they were from the palace. The craftsman made it by chance. This is the first batch. It will be used by officials like us who often go out. I heard that this is not the best, and the ones used by the officials above are better than this. "
Li Sanniang thought to herself, oh, is this Emperor Wu’s golden finger in engineering?
We already have paper and charcoal, but are cement and blast furnace ironmaking still far behind?
What I'm wearing isn't just a system article that promotes the development of medicine in Datang, right?
Is this a basic novel about a heroine?
Sure enough, I didn’t turn on the air conditioner last night, so I don’t have irritable bowel today!
It seems that I can only blow the fan in the future.
