Chapter 989: Honor in Troubled Times 57
An Ning took a few pieces of potatoes and sweet potatoes and took Xiao Yin to raise seedlings.
She explained to Xiao Yin as she walked: "We haven't planted these, we definitely can't plant them all, take two pieces and try them first, if it works, let's plant them again." β
This is the way of Lao Cheng to be steady, and Xiao Yin also felt that what An Ning said was reasonable: "Well, what my mother said is true." β
The couple did not go outside to raise seedlings, but made large pots with soil, and began to plant seedlings in the house.
Xiao Yin also said: "Mother, you can't bask in the sun in the house, plants have to bask in the sun." β
An Ning smiled: "It's okay, let's move it out to dry when the sun is full at noon every day, anyway, it's in a flower pot, it's easy to move." β
This is also true, Xiao Yin felt that An Ning was quite thoughtful, so she didn't say anything.
As soon as the two of them had planted the potatoes and sweet potatoes, they saw a girl named Chunxing who An Ning bought after arriving in Fucheng and entered the door: "Madam, Qingping is asking to see her outside." β
Apple is the girl who An Ning put in the courtyard of West Street to take care of the affairs there, and on the other side of West Street, Apple can be regarded as the housekeeper's lady.
"Let her in. β
An Ning said as she washed her hands.
Chunxing led Apple into the door, and as soon as Apple came in, she knelt down for An Ning: "Mrs. forgive your sins, slave, slave doesn't want to stay on West Street." β
An Ning was stunned for a moment.
She said to Xiao Yin: "I remember that the kitchen just made some dim sum, you go find some for your sister Qingping to taste, if it's good, let her take some back when she leaves." β
Xiao Yin knew that the things here were not suitable for her to listen to, so she smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Qingping, you stay a little longer, and I'll go get you some snacks." β
She went out with a smile, and when she arrived in the courtyard, she saw Xiao Hui hurrying over, Xiao Yin grabbed Xiao Hui: "Mother and Sister Qingping are talking, you can go in later." β
Xiao Hui was stunned for a moment: "Sister Qingping is here, what is she doing here?"
Xiao Yin shook her head and pulled Xiao Hui out of the courtyard: "I don't know, but she doesn't want to stay on West Street." β
Xiao Hui paused.
Xiao Yin asked Xiao Hui: "What is my sister doing looking for her mother?"
Xiao Hui smiled: "I met a person outside, and I wanted to introduce my mother." β
"Who?"
Xiao Yin is quite curious, Xiao Hui is usually not nosy, and she doesn't like to introduce anyone to An Ning or Xiao Yuan, and now that she can say such things, it can be seen that that person must be capable.
"It's Miss Lin Lian. β
When Xiao Hui reported this name, Xiao Yin was surprised: "It turned out to be her." β
Lin Lianshuang is a famous talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, she was born in a family, grew up in the pile of poems and books since she was a child, not only soaked in the fragrance of books, but also full of strategy, and she is also calm and atmospheric.
It's just that she had bad luck and got married since she was a child, but she didn't expect that her fiancΓ© died before she got married, Lin Lianshuang's father was pedantic, and only said that a daughter could not be matched twice, so Lin Lianshuang kept watch over her fiancΓ©.
Later, there were many troubles, Lin Lianshuang was unsatisfactory in her mother-in-law's house, and she didn't want to go back to her parents' house, so she went straight to become a Taoist aunt.
The reputation of this Lin Lianshuang talented woman spread far and wide, Xiao Yin had read her poems, and when Xiao Yin began to read Lin Lianshuang's poems, she thought that it was written by a man with great ambitions, and when she later knew that it was written by a woman, she was really shocked.
At this moment, Xiao Yin was really surprised and delighted when she heard that Lin Lianshuang was coming: "Sister, how did Miss Lin come, isn't she in Jiangnan?
Xiao Hui shook her head: "I don't know, the day before yesterday I went to the street to buy something, just ran into her, she was very depressed, took a jade bracelet to the silver building to exchange some silver taels, called me to bump into, I said a few words for her, and then told her to borrow some silver for her, let her find a place to stay, she is very grateful to me, I want to help people to the end, so I found an inn with her to let her live first, yesterday I went to see her, only to know that she was Lin Lianshuang, I wanted to take her to meet her mother......
Xiao Yin pondered: "Sister, how about you take me to see her first?"
Xiao Hui smiled: "Okay, I'll take you to see her." β
Xiao Hui knew that Xiao Yin sometimes thought that things were different from others, and Xiao Yin couldn't think that the Lin Lianshuang she met was not a real person, I was afraid that she wanted to test a thing or two.
The two sisters walked out as they spoke, and when they arrived at the front yard, Xiao Yin called two attendants to follow.
Don't talk about Xiao Yin, just talk about tranquility.
She told Apple to get up, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
Qingping wiped her tears: "Madam, it's really the old lady and the eldest master are a little different, some time ago, the old lady called the slave over, and wanted to accept the slave as a concubine between words, the slave was unwilling, the old lady also made a cruel word, and the slave hid from the master in the yard, the old lady may have seen that the slave really didn't obey, so he hit the idea on Liuli, but I didn't expect the old lady to say it to the glass, the second master and the fifth master actually looked for Liuli before and after, and wanted to take her into the room. β
Apple said as she peeked at An Ning.
An Ning's face was gloomy: "Go on." β
Qingping lowered her head: "Mrs. also knows Liuli, Liuli and Shumo have long seen each other, I thought that I would ask my wife to be their master in two years, but naturally I don't want to be a concubine, but ...... But the second master and the fifth master threatened Liuli, and the two of them fought for Liuli, and the old lady knew about it, so he wanted to punish Liuli, and asked the family to take Liuli to the front yard to play the board, and the other often looked for slaves, and the slaves couldn't live their lives. β
An Ning couldn't do it anymore, she said coldly: "I know about this, Chunxing, you take Qingping to wash her face and rest, I am in charge of this matter." β
Chun Xing was also angry.
She has a very good relationship with Qingping, they are from a village, they grew up together when they were young, and they were sold to a family when they were sold, and they often helped each other to get to this point, she saw that Qingping was wronged, and she was also uncomfortable for Qingping, and Qingxing was also very angry with the old lady, one by one, they were raised in captivity, and they were not honest, and they hit the girl with their ideas.
When she didn't know, the reason why the old lady wanted to take Apple in the house was nothing more than to watch Apple take care of the things in the courtyard, if Apple followed him, he would not be able to get more benefits, and in addition, he could get some news from outside through Apple, and if he was really angry, he could find a chance to sneak out and find this house.
Called Chunxing said, the wife and the old man are too tolerant of the people in the courtyard, one by one they are full and have nothing to do and know how to make trouble, if he is to directly lock people up in the Zhuangzi, let them farm their own land and be self-sufficient, and see if they can still have leisure to make trouble.
Chunxing took Qingping to the side room to call water to wash up, and re-smeared the fat powder.
An Ning poured a few sips of tea, and then called a small servant to come in: "Go and ask the master where he is now, and tell the master to come back if he is free." β
The little guy said yes and ran out.
An Ning eased up, and saw Wyeth enter the door with Yuan.
Yuan is pregnant, and now she is pregnant, Wyeth and her have come all the way, telling her to be careful from time to time.
An Ning greeted him with a smiling face: "You two have made an appointment here?"
Wyeth smiled: "It's uncomfortable to be bored at home, so I come and sit with my younger siblings." β
An Ning led the two of them into the house, and asked the girl to bring tea and snacks, she and Wyeth drank tea, and gave Yuan Shi white water.
"This is a dim sum made by Yun girl, you two try it. β
Wyeth and Yuan each took a bite of the snack: "Well, this snack tastes very good, and the girl is getting more and more breathing." β
An Ning smiled: "I was about to ask you to say something, but it happened that you came." β
She smiled and told the two concubines what happened on West Street.
Wyeth's eyebrows rose after hearing this: "It's really disrespectful the older you get, look at what this is done." β
Yuan Shi only felt disgusted when he heard it, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth and vomit.
An Ning hurriedly asked someone to serve her and rinse her mouth: "If you feel uncomfortable, go to the back room and lie down." β
Yuan couldn't hear this, she smiled reluctantly: "I'll go to the back room crookedly, and the third sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law will discuss." β
An Ning asked the girl to help Yuan in, and asked her to bring her water, snacks and some dried fruits, and called the girl to talk to her inside.
After settling Yuan's family, An Ning whispered to Wyeth: "Their life is so good, they can even do such a disgusting thing, and wait for ......"
Wyeth gritted his teeth and said: "We are separated from them, there is no reason to be so accustomed to them, I thought that my father and mother arranged for them to serve, and they actually hit the idea on the subordinates, these people are really doing everything, and my father is actually ...... Do you say that my mother knows about this? She can endure this, she can do anything bad for money, and she can eat any and urine. β
Wyeth said this quite politely.
She followed An Ning from the capital to Nanyi, and the things she saw along the way made her change a lot, and she was no longer the gentle and virtuous fourth wife in the Guogong Mansion.
Also, if she didn't learn to be stronger and less spicy, I'm afraid it would be impossible for her to come from the capital to Nanyi.
