An Ziqi's ancient life

Everyone waited for the two old men to come out, while An Ziqi sat silently beside Qin Yi.An Liji couldn't bear the atmosphere long ago, and squatted at the gate.

An Ziqi vaguely heard Li Shi's screams, Mr. An's scolding voice, and his grandma's sneer.The old man who thinks kindness will also become a shrew for his own children, this is love!

"Brother Tian, ​​do you want some dim sum?" An Zihui shyly brought out a plate of dim sum, An Ziqi saw that it was bought by Meimeizhai.

"No, no, no!" Tian Sheng waved his hands again and again, stood up hastily, and hid on the other side of the table.

"Brother Tian, ​​don't get up, come and sit down." An Zihui put the snacks on the table, and chased after Tian Sheng with a handkerchief.

Tian Sheng put his eyes on An Ziqi for help, but An Ziqi directly lowered his head as if he didn't see him.He was very happy with Tian Sheng, who told him to play with his sister?Besides, An Zihui isn't ugly either.

Finally, Tian Sheng still sat down, he couldn't let a little girl pull his clothes!

"Hey, this is Tian Dong's family from the Tianji Incense Shop in the town!" Mrs. Sun also came out with a smile, the fat on her face squeezed her eyes into slits.

"Yes," Tian Sheng shook his face, "Mrs. An."

"Tian Dong's family really has a bright future. They opened such a promising shop at such a young age."

"It's all for the son to inherit his father's business, and the son to inherit his father's business." Tian Sheng cupped his hands.

"You are so humble! Hehehe." Seeing her mother coming, An Zihui quickly hid behind her mother, and shyly opened her bright eyes to look.

Tian Sheng shivered, and felt that the mother and son almost regarded him as a big golden mountain, so they almost pounced on him.

"I don't know if Mr. Tian's family ever got married?" Mrs. Sun shook the handkerchief, bringing a pungent fragrance.

"My father made an appointment for my next marriage before his death." Tian Sheng said with a smile, showing some anticipation and joy appropriately.It's just that he was dismissed later, so Tian Sheng wouldn't say it.

An Zihui's face turned pale all of a sudden, and even Sun's face froze for a moment.

Sun looked at An Zihui hesitantly, and asked bravely, "Didn't the neighbors say that Mr. Tian's family is not married yet?"

"It's my fiancée's mother who passed away. She has to keep her filial piety. If not, it will be delayed." Tian Sheng said "sorry".

An Zihui's face became even uglier. If she was already engaged, wouldn't her behavior be uglier?If others found out that she was hosting foreigners at home, she would not be laughed to death.

An Zihui's footsteps wobbled a bit, she held her mother's arm, and then completely hid herself behind her mother.

"Hey, congratulations to Mr. Tian's family in advance." Mrs. Sun squeezed out a smile.She thought that her daughter could marry into a wealthy family if she could hang a rich husband-in-law, but she didn't expect that if she was engaged, then her daughter could only be a concubine for others, how could that work!Her daughter must be the mistress.

"We won't bother Tian Dong's family anymore." Sun was afraid that Tian Sheng would take a fancy to her daughter and want to hire her back as a concubine, so she pushed An Zihui with her hand, "Damn girl, hurry up and go into the house, the wind in the yard big."

An Zihui was pushed into the room by her mother.

An Zihui glanced at Tian Sheng sadly, but left anyway, she didn't want to be a concubine, how could she be overwhelmed by others on her terms?

As soon as An Zihui returned to the room, she overturned the patterns embroidered on the kang to the ground. "Mother!" An Zihui threw herself on Sun's body and cried bitterly.

"Hey, good daughter, although Dong Tian's family is rich, they are not white men, and they are married, which is not suitable for you. When your brother is admitted to the examination, you can choose those scholars, most of whom are better than Tian. The boss is good." Sun hugged her daughter and comforted her slowly.

"Hmm..." An Zihui cried until her eyes turned red, and she felt so unwilling after thinking about it, that the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn.

She fell in love with Qin Yi before, Qin Yi is a handsome man, he looks like a handsome young man, if she can marry him, that would be great!It's no wonder that the daughters in those boudoirs don't envy her to death.

Who knew that Qin Yi was actually an embroidered pillow that was not useful, and was useless except for being good-looking. He was just a clerk in a incense shop, or the kind of low-level servant who borrowed from someone else's house.Blind that good skin in vain.That's right, what's the big deal for being able to live with those poor ghosts in Sanfang?She should have known, how could she marry a servant?

Isn't An Zihui the kind of woman who is confused by appearance?After crying for a while, An Zihui felt much more comfortable.She also has an older brother, and when her elder brother has achieved fame, she can choose from her classmates, those talented and good-looking scholars.She looked down on Tian Sheng, a businessman covered in money.

An Zihui adjusted her mentality and went to look at herself in the bronze mirror.My eyes were a little swollen, so I took rouge to cover them up.I opened my own rouge box and applied a little bit, but felt very rough again.An Zihui threw the rouge aside, and remembered Tian Ji's rouge.Erya from that village got a box of Tianji rouge bought by her father, and she even showed it off with a group of little girls.An Zihui was a bit disdainful, and looked down on the pimples on Erya's face, who knew that after using it for a while, the pimples on Erya's face disappeared, and her skin turned white. An Zihui tore a newly embroidered sweater in jealousy. handkerchief.

That rouge cost several taels of silver a box, how could they afford it at home, and that guy Tian Sheng didn't even send a few boxes over.I heard that Tian Sheng also gets the goods from Sanfang, and Sanfang also sells raw materials. Sanfang obviously has such good things, but they don’t send them here!An Zihui's jealous face was contorted.She suddenly remembered that the most beautiful girl in the village was An Ziqin from the third room, which made her teeth itch with hatred.No, she has to talk to his father about what happened today.

……

An Zihui's mother and daughter left, Tian Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Ziqi, you are too mean!" Tian Sheng complained to An Ziqi.

"Anyway, she's a beauty, so you can live with it." An Ziqi said casually.

"Tch, she's just a brat, it's not like you don't know, I..." Tian Sheng couldn't continue because An Ziqi gave him a hard look.

"Yellow-haired girl?" His sister is younger than An Zihui, so how could he be interested?

"No, no, no, I just mean that she is alone, there is no other meaning, absolutely nothing." Tian Sheng repeatedly begged for mercy, looking at An Ziqi eagerly, he must not offend his brother-in-law.

"Promise!" An Ziqi snorted coldly.

"Hey hey." Tian Sheng just smirked.

"Which of you is bullying my mother! Who dares to bully my mother!" A loud roar came, and An Ziqi and the others were taken aback. What's wrong?

"Third brother, are you bullying my mother? White-eyed wolf, useless white-eyed wolf! I will be under the control of your mother-in-law for the rest of my life." An Lizhen came over, and when she heard her third brother came to find fault with her mother, An Lizhen Run right back.Seeing her third brother squatting at the door, An Lizhen scolded him directly.

An Liji frowned and stood up. Mrs. Li could scold An Liji, but An Lizhen, as An Liji's younger sister, shouldn't have said that.

"Lizhen, girls, don't go out or talk nonsense." An Liji reprimanded her.

"Am I wrong? You brought a large group of people to block the door of our house, you rebellious and unfilial white-eyed wolf!" An Lizhen heard that An Liji, who had never dared to reprimand her before, actually preached to her, immediately Not happy.

"I won't quarrel with you, Lizhen, you are not young, do you need me to remind you of these things?" An Liji was also angry.

"Grandma, why did you scold my father as soon as you got home? How dare my father bully my grandma? Don't talk nonsense." An Ziqi walked out slowly, looked at An Lizhen and said.

"Little bastard, no one here wants you to talk!" An Lizhen didn't care about face.

"Grandma, I'm a human, not a beast. Could it be that my grandma can't tell the difference between a human and a beast? Then I have to take a good look at the doctor." An Ziqi was not angry either.

There were more and more people watching, An Lizhen wanted to save face and pushed An Ziqi away and ran to the room.

An Ziqi looked at these villagers who came to watch the gossip, and immediately felt a headache.

"Father, let's go in quickly, grandma, grandpa and grandpa have almost finished talking, let's go in and pick them up." The grievances of the elders have nothing to do with his father.

The onlookers understood now that it turned out that the family of the daughter-in-law of the Sanfang family had come to Xingshi to inquire about her crimes. Anyone in the village who didn't know the situation of their settlement immediately felt that there was gossip.But they still knew that these people still wanted to save face, so they pushed and yelled and dispersed.

An Ziqi dragged his father inside, he was relieved when he saw the crowd dispersed, he didn't like being watched like a monkey at all.

An Lizhen rushed into the upper room, and was scolded by Mrs. Lin. As an elder, Mrs. Lin is of course qualified to scold An Lizhen.

An Lizhen backed out with a pale face, and gave An Ziqi a hard look. An Ziqi looked back at her innocently.An Lizhen was furious.

An Ziqi didn't want to make An Lizhen jump, so he didn't want to visit her.An Lizhen didn't want to see An Ziqi who was an eyesore, so she went to An Zihui.

An Ziqi asked his father to sit down, and found that both Qin Yi and Tian Sheng had disappeared, feeling a little strange.

As soon as An Lizhen left, Qin Yi and Tian Shengcai pushed me, and I pushed you out slowly from the utility room.

"I was scared to death." Tian Sheng patted his chest exaggeratedly, "I was almost discovered again." Tian Sheng seemed to have escaped death, An Ziqi was speechless.

"Could you just want to avoid my old aunt?" An Ziqi asked with a smile.

"I can't stand one, so don't have another one." Tian Sheng seemed to have lingering fears.

"How can you be so exaggerated?" An Ziqi said angrily, it should be, right?An Ziqi realized that he was not sure, logically speaking, An Lizhen did hate marriage more than An Zihui.

"Be careful! I want to protect my chastity." Tian Sheng exaggerated.

An Ziqi glanced at Qin Yi, Qin Yi was noncommittal, and smiled at An Ziqi.

Hey, not every granddaughter in the An family hates getting married.An Ziqi didn't want to talk to the two of them.

Several people waited for a while, and Mrs. Lin and Mr. Zhao came out contentedly.Mrs. Lin was in a very good mood, and finally let out a mouthful of bad breath for many years, and felt refreshed.

"Let's go, let's go home." Lin stroked An Ziqi's hair, and she became a kind and gentle old lady again.An Ziqi felt that grandma's face-changing skills were very good.

An Ziqi also felt much more comfortable after walking out of the An's old house.

"Don't worry, grandma has saved a lot for your mother this time. I believe she will never dare to embarrass your mother again." Lin said with a smile.An Ziqi nodded quickly. Although it was not easy for Li Shi to make things difficult for Zhao Shi, An Ziqi still felt very happy.

When they returned to the new house, Mrs. Lin took Mrs. Zhao's hand and talked to her about going to the house.Even An Ziqin dragged An Zimin and An Ziqi to talk about it.

Before An Ziqi could speak, An Zimin danced and told An Ziqin how mighty and domineering grandma and grandpa were, and how powerful they were. He literally described grandma as a super warrior who existed in the sky but never existed in the earth. An Ziqi secretly laughed, Let them go.

The family had a happy dinner, and Aunt Zhang packed up a house for the two elderly people to live in.

The second day was a good day for the three baptisms for the two little buns. As usual, the midwife who delivered the Zhao family was invited.The midwife was naturally very happy, and she was also very experienced. She was able to help with everything to be prepared and arranged, and Aunt Zhang felt a lot more relaxed.

An Ziqi didn't know anything, so he went to help knead the noodles and wash the children. They had to eat pasta on this day, and their family made hand-rolled noodles and side dishes.As for the idle men at home, they were dragged to fight against the table and move the chairs.

There are not many guests here, only An Liji's good brother, Li Zheng's family, An's old house is sure to come, and they have to make up a gift.Those who came to wash three times were all close people.

Mr. An brought his whole family here, except An Lizhong and An Libo.An Lizhong had agreed not to come over, but An Libo still stayed in the town and would not come back, saying that the town was busy with business, so he didn't even say hello.

Shopkeeper Ji gave them a gift, their home is still in Fucheng!An Ziqi shook his head, how disregarding their family!

When the two girls from the An family who had scared Tian Sheng and Qin Yi came, they immediately shrank in the front hall and refused to leave.Because the front hall is for male guests, and the inner courtyard is for female guests.

When An Zihui followed her mother into the An family's third-bedroom new house, her jealous eyes burst into flames.She only knew that the third house of the An family made a small fortune and then built a big house.An Zihui only thought it was an ordinary mansion, compared to villagers who like to exaggerate the facts.I didn't expect the three-bedroom house to be so beautifully repaired. How much money would it cost?

An Zihua kept walking with his head down, but An Lizhen looked left and right.

The female guests were received by Aunt Zhang and An Ziqin.Today An Ziqin wore a lotus-colored skirt, a small emerald green waistcoat, a small bun, and a golden silk flower.There are a pair of round pearls hanging on the ears, and a pure gold wreath necklace around the neck.When An Zihui saw An Ziqin, she wanted to swallow her alive.

An Ziqin felt even more ashamed and cute when she saw people, especially when those aunts praised her for being good-looking.An Zihui couldn't believe it at all, the thin and yellow girl who used to be in the upper room was already so good-looking, counting, An Ziqin was 13 years old, An Zihui felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

It must be because An Ziqin wore so many beautiful jewelry and rouge today that she looks so good-looking!An Zihui pulled her handkerchief into a ball.The skirt that day was made of spun yarn from the south, and she only had a silk scarf made of cloth, but An Ziqin actually had a skirt!How could An Ziqin live better than her?

An Zihui quickly concealed the jealousy in her eyes, and then held An Ziqin's hand with a smile, "Sister Ziqin looks even more beautiful."

"Second Sister." An Ziqin was not used to An Zihui's initiative at all, and felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but An Zihui held it firmly.

"This necklace is so pretty." An Zihui looked at An Ziqin's neck.

"Well, it looks good. It's my birthday present from my younger brother." An Ziqin nodded. She always felt that her second sister's eyes were too scary, as if she was going to eat her.If her brother hadn't asked her to dress up well today, she wouldn't have dressed like this!My younger brother said that no one should take their family lightly.

"Really? Fifth Brother has a good eye. This dress is also made of spun yarn, right?" An Zihui and An Ziqin were working together, very close to each other.

"Yes." An Ziqin nodded honestly, "Brother Tian brought this back from the county."

An Zihui's smile became even uglier.

An Ziqin is kind, and she's not a fool. Naturally, she saw An Zihui's jealousy, and quickly tried her best to save her hand, "Second Sister, let me make tea for you."

"Where are you going to use it? Are your servants just decorations?" An Zihui pointed at Aunt Zhang who had been greeting guests.

"Aunt Zhang, she is..." An Ziqin wanted to explain something, but Aunt Zhang was indeed a servant of their family, but An Zihui's tone was too harsh, making An Ziqin very uncomfortable.

"Miss, let me pour tea for Miss An." Xiao Huan was An Ziqin's personal maid, so she poured a cup of tea for her own lady and wanted to pass it to An Zihui.

An Zihui stretched out a hand to pick it up, because Xiao Huan was standing by An Ziqin's side, so Xiao Huan had to pass the tea next to An Ziqin.

An Zihui's fingers just touched the teacup, as if she had been scalded, she shrank her fingers slightly, the cup of tea that Xiao Huan had let go of was about to overturn on An Ziqin's body, when Xiao Huan touched the bottom of the cup with her fingers, However, the cup of tea seemed to be taken by An Zihui's hand, and it seemed that she didn't hold it firmly. She drew an arc and splashed An Zihui all over her body.

"Ah!" An Zihui screamed, "What are you doing, girl, can't even hold a cup of tea?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ms. An, I didn't know that you let go of the connection without securing it. It's all my fault, it's all my fault." Xiao Huan burst into tears, and knelt down to admit her mistake while crying.Xiao Huan was only eight years old, and she was just doing small things by An Ziqin's side, and now she was crying hard.

"Second sister, don't blame a little girl for not serving tea! Look how pitifully that little girl is crying!" said an aunt.

An Zihui was so angry that her face turned green, but she couldn't tell because she was suffering because she spilled the cup of tea in front of everyone.

"Second Sister, don't be angry, Xiao Huan is still young, and she doesn't know how to do things. Don't argue with her, and get punished in the afternoon." An Ziqin said to Xiao Huan.Xiao Huan stuck out her tongue quietly, and ran away quickly, they were all trained by the young master, how could such a trick be hidden from them?

"Second Sister, your clothes are wet, go to my room and change." An Ziqin said again.

An Zihui was so angry that she had no choice but to follow An Zihui to the wing.

Unexpectedly, An Ziqin's wing made An Zihui angry again.The bright glazed mirror, the exquisite dressing table, the shelf full of all kinds of rouge and gouache, and the box next to it are full of jewelry that she wants but can't buy.

An Ziqin's suitcase is not a big box, but an exquisite cabinet.

An Ziqin managed to find a piece of clothing that An Zihui could wear, but An Zihui had no energy left to fiddle with it anymore, she felt that she had been pissed off for the rest of her life today.

An Zihui didn't make trouble, and no one continued to make trouble.

An Lizhen was reprimanded by Mr. An, and now she is very honest.

The baptism of the two little buns went smoothly, and Mr. An and Mrs. Li were supposed to hold the baby, but Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Lin were replaced.Mr. An had no way to protest, and it would be embarrassing for him to say it.

Li Shi also didn't say a word, and when Lin Shi stared at him when he wanted to have an attack, he immediately became honest.An Ziqi said that it would be great if they were like this all the time, they have to be beaten and beaten to be like relatives.

An Ziqi poured clear water into the copper basin that symbolized good fortune, and the midwife said auspicious words to wash the children's bodies. Like the midwife, the children would surely live a long life and enjoy endless blessings.

After washing the children, Aunt Zhang and the midwife carried the crying brothers and sisters back to Mrs. Zhao, and then An Liji announced the opening of the feast.

Only then did everyone talk and laugh. Congratulations to An Liji for his happy birthday to Lin'er. An Liji never stopped smiling.

An Ziqi was also very happy, and Mr. An smiled at the end.I hope that the two daughters-in-law of their family will be happy today and give birth to a fat boy next year.
