Although this kind of progress was a bit slow, Li Su was much more relaxed.
A few days later, the sisters-in-law Yang and Qin found Li Su. After exchanging pleasantries, Yang asked, "Next month is my grandmother's birthday. She likes to be lively and likes to watch operas and listen to books on weekdays. I don't know my sister. Do you mind..."
Li Su knew what it meant as soon as he heard it, and laughed quickly, "I understand what my cousin means, it doesn't matter. It's just a script, just take it."
Yang and Qin breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, sister."
Li Su suddenly had an idea, "Sister-in-law, is there an opera troupe in our house?"
Mrs. Yang nodded, "Yes, there is a Nanfu theater troupe in the mansion. Does my sister have any ideas?"
Li Su laughed and said, "Why don't we let the theater troupe in the mansion arrange these scriptures into a play, which can act and sing, and if the people in the other mansion like it, they can also borrow the troupe to sing for a few days. Wouldn't it be lively?" If you have a good relationship, you can borrow it. If you have a normal relationship, you can rent it for money if you want to watch a movie. Even if money is not discussed, this is still a favor! However, it is difficult to say these words too straightforwardly. I believe that with the intelligence of Yang and Qin, they can definitely think of them.
The family of Yong'an Hou's family has a big business, and it must be difficult to maintain such a family business. Although Li Su has his own family business and Zhuangzi's shop, he makes a lot of money every year. But their mother and daughter don't pay a penny, and they live and eat in the Hou Mansion. Li Su was also a little embarrassed. Just add some income to the Hou Mansion.
Yang's and Qin's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't they expect it. "Sister, that's a good idea." If the script can really be arranged into a play, there will be too many things that can be manipulated here, and it will also be a benefit to the Hou Mansion.
"Thank you, sister. I'll make arrangements now, and let them arrange a show about the generals of the Yang family." Yang said with a smile.
Li Su nodded, "I don't really understand these things, it's up to the sister-in-laws to decide."
Yang and Qin found Princess Qingshan, and when Princess Qingshan heard about it, she also thought it was a good idea, and immediately asked Yang to arrange it. At the end of the year, when the Empress Dowager's birthday was on, Princess Qingshan presented a play, "Mu Guiying Breaks the Heavenly Gate". The queen mother was very happy after watching the play, and the emperor was also very happy, and rewarded Princess Qingshan and Yong'an Houfu.
And the theater troupe of Yong'an Hou Mansion became famous because of this.
Of course, these are things for later.
It is said that while Li Su was writing the script, the memories belonging to the original owner slowly recovered, and the things he had learned were slowly remembered. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, the things the original owner had learned were slowly restored bit by bit.
On this day, Li Su changed into light yellow clothes, sat in front of a clump of camellias, and played a song Zui Yu Sing Wan. Wang Siqin was fascinated after hearing this. Wang Siqin felt familiar and unfamiliar with this kind of mother.
Now, apart from Wang Siqin's daily reading and literacy, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, Yang has slowly taught her some etiquette and rules. The more she knew, Wang Siqin gradually understood what kind of life her mother had lost.
If there hadn't been that accident, my mother must have been a gentle and elegant family wife like the aunts, who honored her parents-in-law every day, handled housework, educated children, and chatted and wrote in leisure, comfortable and comfortable, elegant and honorable.
But my mother worked as a peasant woman for six years in a place like Shanglin Village, and in the end, she got an extra herself.
The most commendable thing is that in the face of such a big gap, my mother's attitude has always been very calm, never complaining about others, never complaining about myself. Instead, relying on his own efforts, he slowly picked up what was lost.
Wang Siqin felt that her mother was really powerful. She still has a lot to learn.
Wang Siqin is actually an intelligent and sensitive person. From the very beginning, she could detect the kindness of the Yong'an Hou Mansion towards their mother and daughter. But now, this kindness is still there, but there is more sincerity in it.
These sincerity did not come out of thin air, they were bought by my mother through hard work. Wang Siqin felt that she could not let down her mother's hard work and sincerity.
"How is it? Does it sound good?" After playing a song, Li Su only felt comfortable all over. This level, in future generations, is definitely a masterpiece of everyone! I didn't expect that she could also play such sunny and snowy piano music!
"Good! Good as always!" Xiao Zhenshu strolled over, applauding as he walked. "Compared to before, my cousin's piano sound is a little more calm and calm. Very good."
"Second brother!" The original owner had this second cousin in his memory, so Li Su called out without him introducing himself.
Xiao Zhenshu's nature is free and easy, he doesn't want to be restrained by the officialdom, he spends his time with wild cranes, he often travels between the capital and Qiantang, so he often meets the original owner, among cousins, the relationship between the two of them is also the best.
"Cousin!" Xiao Zhenshu looked at Li Su, his eyes fell on Li Su's hands, and there was a flash of distress in his eyes. Other places can maintain moisture and restore the former state. But the calluses on the hands caused by labor could not be eliminated for a while.
His cousin, ten fingers do not touch the spring water, but because of his mistake, suffered so much. He was really ashamed and regretful in his heart. Even if he found his cousin now, he still couldn't make up for the suffering she suffered in the past few years.
"I haven't seen you for many years, and the second brother is still as handsome as ever. When you come back this time, the second brother should not run away. The second brother is not young anymore, and it's time to start a family. The third brother has two sons. Second brother, you can do it Come on!" Li Su laughed.
Xiao Zhenshu saw that there was no gloom between her brows, no different from the last time they met seven years ago, only a little more mature and calm, and his heart became more and more unhappy, "Cousin, how about second brother marrying you?"
Wang Siqin's expression changed drastically.
Li Su still smiled, "Second brother, don't be joking. You and I know very well that we only have brother and sister feelings for each other. What happened back then was just an accident and had nothing to do with second brother. There is no need for second brother to always take it to heart. Now I'm back, unscathed and with a smart daughter. Second brother, you should let go and find your own happiness."
Xiao Zhenshu was just speaking quickly, he also knew that besides the brother-sister relationship, he felt a lot of guilt towards his cousin, but there was absolutely no love between men and women. If he really married his cousin because of guilt, he would have wronged his cousin.
"It's the second brother who is confused. I'm sorry."
"My brothers and sisters don't need to be like this. By the way, second brother, you haven't seen my daughter Siqin yet. Siqin, come, I have met my second uncle." Li Su smiled and embraced Wang Siqin, and said to Xiao Zhenshu.
"Siqin has seen the second uncle, and the second uncle is well!" Because of her recklessness just now, Wang Siqin's attitude towards Xiao Zhenshu was a bit lukewarm. No one can replace her father's position in her heart. She also didn't want to recognize someone else as her father.
Although she had eavesdropped on the conversation between her mother and the princess and knew that her mother had no intention of remarrying, she was still worried.
Xiao Zhenshu also noticed Wang Siqin's estrangement, and was a little embarrassed, because he was the one who was reckless just now. "Siqin is good. This is a gift from my second uncle, let's see if you like it?" Xiao Zhenshu took out a beautiful silver hollow aromatherapy ball from his arms.
Wang Siqin really likes it very much, holding it in his hand and playing with it, "It smells so good."
"I bought the spices in it from merchants in the Western Regions. If you don't like it, you can change it to something else." Xiao Zhenshu said with a smile.
"I like it very much, thank you Second Uncle." Wang Siqin accepted the gift, but stood firmly beside Li Su, refusing to leave.
Li Su was a little helpless, probably because of her childhood experience. This child has never felt safe. As a mother, all she can do is to accompany, pay attention and respond more.
Li Su held his daughter's hand and smiled at her, "Second brother, have you seen your grandmother when you come back? Siqin should go to school, so let's go first."
Xiao Zhenshu took a look at Wang Siqin, he probably knew something about Siqin's temperament from his fourth brother's letter, speaking, she is also a poor person. Naturally, he wouldn't care as much as Siqin. So he nodded, "Okay, you go!"
Li Su took Wang Siqin's hand and sent her to the flower hall. Today she was going to learn how to mix incense with Madam Xu.
Wang Siqin grabbed her hand suddenly. Although she didn't speak, her eyes clearly expressed her meaning.
Li Su couldn't laugh or cry, she should be relieved, shouldn't she? At the very least, Siqin was willing to express his true thoughts to her.
Li Su stroked her hair, "Don't worry, mother won't remarry."
Although it was just a short sentence, it brought a smile on Wang Siqin's face, "Mother, don't marry. When I grow up, I will take good care of my mother and let her live a good life." This is her promise , is also her true inner thoughts. Although this may be unfair to her mother, she really does not want her mother to marry.
Li Su smiled. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, Siqin's thinking was a bit selfish, but she was only six years old after all, and she had such a childhood. She was extremely insecure and afraid of being abandoned again. normal. At least in Li Su's view, it was normal.
It just so happened that she had no intention of remarrying either. Although this body is still very young, but she has a family, a job, food and clothing, and the protection of her uncle's family, so why think about it before marrying, serving the whole family, and depending on people's faces
She's not a masochist!
However, these ideas are too shocking in the present, so it is better not to say them.
"Okay, mother believes in you, you have to work hard!" Li Su laughed.
Wang Siqin nodded and went in with her head held high.
When Li Su returned to Ruizi Hall, Xiao Zhenshu hadn't left yet, and was talking in front of Mrs. Tai, Princess Qingshan, and Mrs. Liu.
Seeing Li Su's return, Mrs. Tai waved to her happily, "Susu, come quickly, your second brother is back."
Li Su came over with a smile, and after saluting, sat down beside Mrs. Tai, "I saw you in the garden just now."
Mrs. Tai looked at Li Su, then at Xiao Zhenshu, and suddenly an idea popped up in her heart. Before she could speak, Li Su laughed and said, "Second brother is not young, so he should get married when he comes back this time? Grandma , you have to give the second brother the palm of your hand!"
As soon as Li Su said this, Mrs. Tai understood what she meant.
Mrs. Tai felt a little pity, what a good couple, but unfortunately, Susu had no intentions of Xiaoshu. Anyway, marriage is a major event and cannot be forced.
Princess Qingshan said with a smile: "Susu is right, Mrs. Tai must give Zhenshu the palm of her hand."
Mrs. Tai smiled, "I'm old, I don't go out much, I really don't know who are the good kids in the capital, let's find out more about it together!"
So the topic turned a corner, and everyone started to discuss heatedly. Xiao Zhenshu sat on pins and needles, and found an excuse to run away after a while.
The author has something to say: When I was writing this chapter, I thought of an issue that Qipa said, if your parents want to marry someone you don’t like, do you want to stop it? That's probably what it means. In fact, regarding this, I think the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom. Among them, what Chen Ming said about Xiao Xiao's childhood experience touched me very much. Xiao Xiao stopped it when he was a child, but when he grew up, he regretted it and thought he shouldn't have stopped it. In fact, children generally choose to prevent their parents from remarrying, because they are still young and their minds are not mature enough. They are afraid of being abandoned, abandoned, and neglected. Maybe they will regret it when they grow up and feel that they shouldn't stop it. But when they were children, they didn't think so much, the pressure of the family, the loneliness of their parents, they didn't think about it. They are simply afraid of being abandoned again.
