Chapter 243 I Am There
When Li heard this, she didn't look panicked at all, but said, "My hometown did send someone to tell me to go back and take care of the old lady."
Zhang Yunniang became a little worried when she heard this.
But Li changed the subject and said, "My husband loves me, so he just told my family that I can serve and take care of the old lady, but he asked them to send her here from her hometown. In order to prevent the second and third wives from making mistakes again, they should not stay in their hometown and bring trouble to the village, but should also go to Beijing to serve the old lady."
"How could the second and third wives follow the old lady to Beijing? Not only would they be controlled by their elder brother, but they would also be forced to serve the old lady every day. They would never agree to this."
"My husband did not let them do whatever they wanted in their hometown, but wrote a letter to the clan, asking the elders in the clan to come forward and watch whether the second and third wives were taking good care of the old lady."
Now, the most promising person in the entire Sun family is Sun Jiaxing. Naturally, the Sun family dare not neglect his words, so the old lady Sun was left in her hometown.
Li, the eldest sister-in-law, no longer has to be tortured by her mother-in-law. Instead, she can write a letter to reprimand the second and third wives every now and then, urging them to take good care of the old lady with all their heart.
Zhang Yunniang didn't expect things to turn out this way. She whispered, "Now you can finally see the moon after waiting for a long time."
Li's mouth curled up. Now she has two children, her husband loves her, and even her annoying mother-in-law is thousands of miles away. The storybook she wrote was moved into the theater. There is really no better life than this.
She tilted her head and looked at Niuniu who was eating snacks very seriously with a loving expression.
Niuniu noticed her godmother's gaze and reached out to Li to hold the peanuts in her hand: "Godmother, eat these peanuts quickly. Although they are not as good as Shu... my family's, they are also delicious."
Niuniu stroked her chest and thought to herself that it was a close call. She almost let it slip and said Shuying.
Li didn't think much about it. She took the peanuts handed over by Niuniu very graciously.
When she saw the child, she suddenly remembered something and turned to Zhang Yunniang and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something that I would like to ask you for help."
Zhang Yunniang nodded: "With our relationship, if there is anything, just tell me directly."
"It's the wife of my husband's colleague. She gave birth to a daughter a few days ago. I want you to meet her."
Zhang Yunniang was puzzled when she heard this.
People at that time paid attention to social circles. If you were not in that circle, it would be difficult to integrate into it.
Li was the wife of Hanlin. Although she and Zhang Yunniang had a good relationship, their social circles were completely different. Zhang Yunniang was the wife of a juren, and she didn't think she could integrate into it.
"Her situation is somewhat similar to mine, but her situation is worse than mine. If you can get some enlightenment and teach her some ways to keep fit, it would be great."
After listening to Li's explanation, Zhang Yunniang probably understood that she wanted her to teach her some experience in postpartum conditioning.
"Where is your colleague's wife's mother?" Zhang Yunniang asked.
After all, according to common sense, postpartum care is usually passed down from mother to daughter, or there is an old and experienced nanny in a large family.
Li sighed and said, "She is also a poor person. Her mother's family is rich, but her mother died early, and her stepmother didn't pay much attention to her. Although her father gave a large dowry, no one took care of these things for her."
"It's not easy for women, and they are even weaker after giving birth. I think it's a good thing to help."
Zhang Yunniang didn't refuse after hearing this.
While the few people were talking, the play on the stage was about to start, and Sun Jiaxing and Manager Luo also walked in.
Li's eyes were very sharp, and she saw something wrong at a glance: "Xiao Ru and Manager Luo, is this a good thing coming?"
Zhang Yunniang nodded gently.
Li immediately said, "Then I will give her a big red envelope!"
With the sound of a gong, the stage became lively.
The audiences in the audience also quieted down, and everyone stared at the stage intently, even Niuniu was staring at it.
This story is very simple, and it is not complicated if you look at it in detail, but whether it was written by Li at the beginning or polished by Sun Jiaxing later, the words and sentences are very exquisite.
Whenever Cheng He on the stage was unlucky, he would draw cheers from the audience.
In the theater, in addition to the normal fruits and snacks, each table was given a plate of braised food. Although it looked out of place, the overbearing aroma of Gu's braised food made everyone salivate as soon as it entered their noses.
"How do you do things? You only give a plate of food to a table. Are you feeding the birds? I have plenty of money, give me another big plate!" A guest asked the theater waiter.
The waiter explained pitifully, "Sir, we are a theater, we don't sell braised food. These on the table are sent by Fuwang Braised Food Shop. One plate per table, we don't have more."
"Fuwang Braised Food Shop? Isn't this the one on the stage? Is there really such a shop?" the customer asked.
In Guang'an County, the braised food shop was not called this name. Now the name was chosen by a master invited by Shopkeeper Luo.
Businessmen pursue auspicious and good-sounding names, and Shopkeeper Luo likes the word Fuwang very much.
The waiter also received the reward from Shopkeeper Luo in advance, so he naturally knew how to speak: "Fuwang Braised Food Shop now has a store in the north of the city, and will soon open stores in the east, south and west of the city. Where do you live, sir?"
"I live in the east of the city."
"The store on Yuanbao Street in the east of the city will open tomorrow, and the same braised food will be sold there."
The guest was delighted when he heard this: "It's good that it's the same! My family lives next to Yuanbao Street!"
The waiter smiled and said: "If the braised food wasn't so delicious, it wouldn't have attracted the covetousness of villains like in the opera."
The guest became interested again and asked: "The story sung on the stage is actually a true story?"
"Of course, it's just that it didn't happen here, it's an old story from Guanglin Mansion. How could there be such a villain under the feet of the emperor?"
The guest was from Beijing, and he nodded when he heard this: "The atmosphere under the feet of the emperor is naturally good, Guanglin Mansion? I vaguely remember that some wealthy family came from Guanglin Mansion, and I remember it! The Li family came from Guanglin Mansion!"
The Li family is the mother's family of Concubine Li in the palace. Uncle Li is powerful in the court, and the waiter didn't dare to respond.
When the play was finished, the whole hall cheered.
"I'm there!" Niuniu excitedly pulled Li's hand.
Gu Mingda had thought that Niuniu wouldn't be in the play, but he didn't expect that there was an actor squatting down and pretending to be a child.
Li reached out and touched Niuniu's nose: "I can forget anyone, but I can't forget you, my dear."
Old Mrs. Gu said seriously: "The dear on the stage sings well, but he is not as lovable as our own dear."
