Poor Family Chapter 228

  During the Laba Festival in previous years, the emperor would take everyone to the paddock in the suburbs of Beijing for winter hunting. This year the winter hunting was cancelled, and the ice party was held at the Mingtai Ice Rink instead.

   "I heard that this year's Ice Fun is extraordinarily grand, I really want to participate."

  The 15th day of every month is the time for Shi's family to gather for dinner. At the dinner table, Shi Dingxu couldn't help muttering when he remembered the Bingxi that everyone was talking about during this time.

  Shi Dingnan: "Tenth brother, don't think about it, we couldn't go to the paddock in previous years, and Bingxi also didn't have our share."

  The children's voices were not small, and the adults heard them too.

  The old lady Shi looked a little sad, what a glorious opportunity it is to accompany the emperor to participate in the activities, it cannot be obtained without important ministers, powerful ministers and favored ministers, the current Shi family is not qualified enough.

  As soon as the idea fell into place, Shi Dingxuan said, "We can go to the ice party."

  As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Shi Dingxuan.

  Having worked as a servant in the palace for more than a year, now Dingxuan is able to deal with any occasion calmly, even when his family members look at him so earnestly, without changing his face.

  Shi Dingxuan glanced at his younger brother Shi Dinghao.

  Shi Dinghao suddenly patted his head: "Look at my memory." He quickly took out a yellow post from his arms, got up and handed it to Mrs. Shi.

  When the old man opened it, he saw that it was the ticket for the Mingtai Ice Rink and the stand number, and he was overjoyed: "Why do you have this?"

  Shi Dinghao chuckled: "After the winter this year, my brother's bodyguard battalion has started to practice ice running. The top three can get admission tickets, and my brother won the first place."

  Hearing this, Jin Yue'e and Shi Zhenghe immediately looked at Shi Dingxuan, their faces full of pride.

  The rest of the Shi family also looked at Shi Dingxuan with a smile.

  Master Shi smiled and praised: "Wu Lang really gave the family face."

  Shi Dingxuan hurriedly got up and said a few words of humility, and after receiving praise from a circle of elders, he sat down again and continued to eat.

   It is certainly a gratifying thing for the Shi family to be able to participate in the ice play, but there are more than 30 people in the Shi family, including all the masters.

   The number of people that can be accommodated in the stands of the ice rink is limited. Even if you don't care about other people's gazes, you can't accommodate everyone in the family.

   In this way, some people cannot go.

  Of course, Shi Fuxin's family doesn't have this trouble.

   There is no way, Bingxi's entrance ticket was obtained by Shi Dingxuan, if their family can't go, it will be unreasonable.

   "The four younger sisters are a little depressed because they can't go to the ice rink."

  In Lanyue Tower, Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin checked the supply records of Hongyanxiao's branches while talking about homework.

  Shi Fuxin: "There is no way to do this. The family's resources are limited. Of course, we must first take care of our sons and daughters."

  Shi Fuyin nodded: "Even if you don't marry well, you still have to be a regular wife and a concubine for others. Not only will you harm yourself, but you will also harm your children."

   Speaking of this, Shi Fuxin thought of Shi Fuyue: "Is Second Sister doing well in the Seventh Prince's Mansion?"

  Shi Fuyin: "It's okay on the surface, but I don't know it in reality. But now that she is in charge of the No. 2 branch of Hongyanxiao, she can find a chance to come out and breathe."

  Shi Fuxin: "I don't know if the second sister regrets her original decision?"

  Shi Fuyin: "I guess there are some."

   Hongyan smiled and opened a branch, but the married eldest sister and second sister were not left behind.

  During the preparation of the store, she had contact with her eldest sister and second sister several times.

  Both are married women, she can tell from their expressions that the life of the second sister is definitely not as easy as that of the eldest sister.

   "Finding a husband's family can't just look at family status."

   "From the perspective of family status, there is no comparison between the elder sister's husband's house and the seventh prince's house, but the eldest sister lives much more comfortably than the second elder sister."

  Looking at Shi Fuyin who was full of emotion, Shi Fuxin smiled: "Sister, each person has his own way of life, whether life is good or not, it is his own choice."

  Shi Fuyin nodded, stopped talking about this, and talked about other things.

  Mingtai Ice Rink was built by the Yongding River in the south of the outer city. On December 18th, early in the morning, the people of the outer city crowded the three floors outside the Zhengyang Gate with people.

   "What happened?"

   Father Li and Mrs. Li brought their two grandchildren out to buy vegetables. Seeing the crowd rushing in one direction, their faces were full of curiosity.

  Shi Zhengkun bought a few maids for the Li family to take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation, but Mrs. Li felt that the cooking women spent a lot of money, so she had to go out to buy vegetables by herself.

  Papa Li wanted to get familiar with the capital, so he would come out with him every day.

   "Today the emperor is going to Mingtai Ice Rink to watch Bingxi, and everyone is going to Zhengyangmen to watch the emperor." The vegetable seller explained to the two with a smile.

   Mrs. Li's eyes widened: "Can you see the emperor?"

  The vegetable seller smiled: "The emperor is sitting on a luan chariot, surrounded by guards escorting him. I can't see it, but you can see the emperor's guard of honor."

   After hearing this, Mrs. Li looked at Father Li: "Shall we go and see too?"

  Papa Li agreed without even thinking about it. That is the emperor. When they were at the border, how could they have imagined that one day they would see such a thing as the emperor.

  When Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li brought their two grandchildren to Zhuque Street, both sides of the street were crowded with people, and it was dark and endless.

   "There are too many people in the capital!"

  The four of them were all shocked by this scene.

  There were too many people, and Mrs. Li was a little uncomfortable being squeezed. Seeing that the middle of the street was so wide, but there was no one there, she couldn't help muttering: "The street is so wide, why don't you stand a little outside, it's too crowded?"

  The young man next to him heard it and sneered: "If you are not afraid of losing your head, you can stand on the street."

  Old Li glared at Aunt Li, and quickly said with a smile: "We just came to Beijing, so we don't understand many things, so don't be as knowledgeable as we are."

Seeing that Old Li's words were pleasant to the ears, the young man put away the sneer on his face: "Today the Emperor is going to go to the Mingtai Ice Rink on Zhuque Street, and the road clearing started here yesterday, who dares to rush at the holy car at this time? That's the crime of beheading."

   As he spoke, he pointed to the guards with knives standing on both sides of the street to maintain order.

   "Today, anyone who doesn't abide by the rules and is regarded as an assassin by those guards will be killed directly."

   Mrs. Li shrank her neck, not daring to say any more.

   It didn't take long for everyone to feel the ground shaking, and then there was the sound of dense horseshoes.

   Then, the bright yellow flag appeared in everyone's sight.

  Hundreds of imperial guards rode their horses to clear the way, all majestic and majestic, and the breath of royal majesty rushed over.

  At this moment, Suzaku Street was completely silent.

   Mrs. Li swallowed her saliva, and looked at the emperor's glorious guard of honor with piercing eyes.

  Papa Li also watched attentively.

  However, when the bright yellow luan car got closer and closer, the expressions of both of them changed.

"That is."

   "Saburo?"

  Looking at Shi Dingxuan who was riding a tall horse and walking majestically beside the luan chariot, both Father Li and Old Lady Li looked in disbelief.

  When the guard of honor of Luanyu passed by, everyone started to discuss. Father Li hurriedly asked the young man before him, "Who are those people walking around the emperor's carriage?"

  Young man: "Those are the imperial guards." He said with a look of envy on his face, "I heard that those who can be imperial guards have superb martial arts and can block hundreds with one."

   Mrs. Li couldn't accept it: "It's just some reckless men with well-developed limbs."

  After hearing this, the young man's expression changed drastically: "What are you talking about? Do you think everyone can be an imperial bodyguard? To be able to enter the emperor's side, they are all selected through layers of selection, and they are all excellent."

   Talking, humming.

   "For the sake of your age, I would like to remind you, don't talk nonsense in the capital. If you offend noble people, be careful and lose your life."

  Papa Li's expression tightened, and he thanked the young man with a forced smile, then he pulled Madam Li, took his two grandchildren and left quickly, and slowed down when he got out of Zhuque Street.

   "We must have read it wrong just now, it's not Saburo, it just looks a bit like Saburo."

   Mrs. Li couldn't accept that Li Sanlang had become so good, so she kept denying it.

   "Grandma, that's the third brother."

  Li Dalang couldn't help but make a sound.

   Mrs. Li looked over with a 'shua', her eyes were fierce.

  Li Dalang was taken aback.

   "If I say no, I am not. What kind of guy is Li Sanlang, can I not be clear? What qualifications does he have to serve the emperor?"

  Seeing Mrs. Li yelling in the street, Father Li quickly reprimanded: "Shut up, we'll talk about it when we have something to say."

  Back home, Li Erlang couldn't help but say: "Grandpa, grandma, my eldest brother and I seemed to have seen Qilang just now, and Qilang was also riding behind the emperor's chariot."

  Hearing this, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li looked at each other, one with a dignified expression and the other with a gloomy expression.

   "Next time Zhengkun comes over, let's ask him what the Changsen family is doing."

  Mingtai Ice Rink occupies a large area, and the stands are distributed in an inverted concave shape, with a large ice rink in the middle.

  The stands are divided into single rooms of different sizes. The largest stand in the center must be reserved for the emperor, and then gradually becomes smaller with the emperor as the center.

  The stand assigned by the Shi family was in the middle on the left. The area was neither too big nor too small. After the Shi family sat down, it was a little crowded.

   Shi's family hadn't attended such a grand occasion for a long time, even Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi were a little excited.

  Looking at the gazes from all around, Mr. Shi couldn't help but straighten his waist, and the Shi family came back again.

   "Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother."

  Shi Fuhui, escorted by Uncle Han, came to Shi's house.

  The seats in the stands are limited. With so many officials and their families, it is impossible for everyone to have a seat. As a result, many people can only watch from the stands.

  The family background of the Han family is not obvious, and Uncle Han is only a fourth-class guard, so he is not qualified to watch Bingxi at all. It is thanks to the blessing of the Shi family that he was able to come this time.

  Uncle Han greeted Mrs. Shi respectfully. Seeing that Shi's family is getting better and better, his words and deeds are becoming more and more thoughtful.

   Mrs. Shi Wu looked at Shi Fuhui and his wife, who were talking and laughing with their family members, and thought of the daughter who married into the seventh prince's mansion, so she couldn't help but look out.

   When the old lady saw that the fifth lady stretched her neck and looked in the right direction from time to time, she couldn't help frowning: "Old wife, what are you looking at?"

  Shi Wu hurriedly looked away: "I want to see if sister Yue is here?"

  Bringing up the second granddaughter, Mrs. Shi sighed: "Would you bring the people from Zhengde's room out on such an occasion?"

  Going out to socialize and socialize is the business of the wife, and the concubine is to serve others.

   At that time, the fifth lady was silent, with a gloomy expression on her face.

  This is the sorrow of being a concubine. When you go out to meet guests, it is completely up to the main wife to decide.

  At this moment, Mrs. Shi Wu felt regretful in her heart.

  If she knew that Sister Xin was so powerful, she would be able to make a name for herself by opening any store, and the girls at home would be able to follow suit. She wouldn't worry about not being a good family, so why would she ask her daughter to be a child for others?

  Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.

   "What are you looking at, big sister and big brother-in-law are here, you should go over and say hello."

  Shi Fuyin walked in front of Shi Fuxin who was lying on the edge of the stands, watching the warm-up guards on the ice rink with great interest.

  Shi Fuxin turned her head to look at Shi Fuhui, and said with a smile, "Big Sister and the others are busy chatting with their grandparents, so it won't be too late for me to go over and say hello later."

"Sister, look at the people on the ice rink. Jiulang said, my brother will also participate in skate walking later. I heard that there are more than a thousand people on skates, and everyone is a good player. It must be a spectacular scene. "

  Shi Fuyin is also a brother fan, and said directly: "My brother must be the most powerful among them."

  Shi Fuxin nodded with a smile, but when she saw the Zeng mother and daughter walking towards this side, the smile on her face disappeared immediately.

  When Shi Fuyin saw her, she followed her sister's line of sight and saw Zeng Yuwei bringing Shi Fuzhi and Shi Furan over, her expression also faded.

   No, it should be Li Fuzhi and Li Furan.

  Shi Zhengkun took Li's family to take care of him. People in the Hanlin Academy praised him for his filial piety when they knew about it, and this matter even reached the ears of the emperor.

   When entering the palace to face the saint, the emperor mentioned Shi Zhengkun's surname. After Shi Zhengkun left the palace, he went to Shi's house to look for Mrs. Shi.

   After getting the sentence "You don't need to inform the uncle's house in the future", Shi Zhengkun changed Shi's surname to Li the next day.

   "Greetings to father and mother."

   "Granddaughter sends greetings to grandfather and grandmother."

  Zeng Yuwei brought her two daughters to Shi's viewing room, and did a good job of superficiality, attracting many people to look here.

Mrs. Shi looked at the mother and daughter, and the smile on her face remained unchanged: "I know that your filial piety is commendable, but you don't have to be like this in the future. Since Zheng Kun's biological father and biological mother are here, they should be the people you want to be filial to in the future." .”

   "Although the Shi family raised Zheng Kun for a long time, but now he has changed his surname back to Li. We are two families. You are the daughter-in-law of the Li family, so it's okay if you don't come to pay your respects."

   Mrs. Zeng didn't expect Mrs. Shi to speak so mercilessly, she was taken aback.

   At that time, the old lady did not deliberately lower her voice. After hearing this, the people on both sides smiled and looked at her.

  Zeng said with a strong smile: "The Shi family will always be the home of the husband, and I and the husband will never forget this."

   Mrs. Shi smiled at these words, but did not answer.

  No one from the Shi family came out to smooth things over, which made Zeng very embarrassed.

  In normal times, Mrs. Shi might come forward to say a few words, but Shi Zhengkun, no, after Li Zhengkun took the Li family back to Beijing, there were many more rumors in Beijing.

  Li Zhengkun has been well received. Many people say that he is filial and unmoved by rich and poor.

  But the Shi family suffered a lot of criticism, saying that the Shi family did not allow Li Zhengkun to take back his biological parents, which greatly affected the reputation of the Bofu.

  If we say that at the beginning, Shi's family members felt a little guilty for not being in contact with Li Zhengkun's family, but now that they have been hurt because of Li Zhengkun, their previous feelings have faded.

  Shi Fuxin saw the expressions of Shi's family members in her eyes, and pouted, as long as the pain point fell on her, she could give up all the friendship and care for the overall situation.
