In the early winter of Nanfu, there was a light rain for several days.

After the light rain stopped and was cloudy for a day and then sunny for a day, Lin Zhai hurriedly took out the winter quilt to dry.

Now that Mrs. Guan knows that Su Qingzhi and the prefect's wife have a falling out, she and Su Qingzhi don't have those evasions.

The two families are in close proximity, so they often have contact.

Even though it was a rainy day, because of the close distance between the two families, the two still made an appointment to have afternoon tea a few times from time to time.

Su Qingzhi entered the Guan Mansion for the first time, and the specifications of the two houses were exactly the same, and after she looked at it a few times, she had no curiosity.

Mrs. Guan personally welcomed her into the door, and she said with a smile: "My children are older, and they are not by my side, and my side is much quieter than yours." ”

As soon as her words fell, Su Qingzhi heard the woman's coquettish greeting voice: "Madam, there are guests." ”

Su Qingzhi took a look at Mrs. Guan's obviously cold face, she looked at the young woman in pink who was approaching on the other side of the pavilion, she held a handkerchief and swayed all the way.

Su Qingzhi thought about what she had just said, and she almost guessed the identity of this at once.

Guan Daren's taste is really very down-to-earth, and the woman in pink in front of her is obviously a concubine favored by Guan Daren.

After the young woman in pink approached, Mrs. Guan looked at her with a faint expression and said, "You are idle, you take care of the children in the yard with more care."

Don't have something happen to your child next time, and you insist on climbing on someone else's head. ”

The young woman in pink listened to Mrs. Guan's words, and she looked at Mrs. Guan with an aggrieved expression.

After Su Qingzhi looked at it from the side, she only felt that Mrs. Guan's treatment of Lord Guan's concubine was really too gentle, as people said.

The woman in pink stomped her feet and said, "Madam, you also believe the words of that little slut, in recent days, she has been entangled with the master, and she has not cared about the master's body in the slightest." ”

Su Qingzhi really couldn't stand the pink-clothed woman's style, so she silently avoided Mrs. Guan's back.

After Mrs. Guan turned her head to look at Su Qingzhi, she saw her calm expression, and Mrs. Guan's face was much calmer when she faced her.

Mr. Guan likes this kind of dusty woman, and it has already been spread on the official street, and Mrs. Guan doesn't mind that Su Qingzhi also knows the truth at this time.

After Mrs. Guan frowned and looked at the young woman in pink for a moment, she laughed and said, "How you serve the master, then each of you will act according to your ability.

How you take care of yourselves and the children you have borne, in the future, you should also rely on your abilities.

I'm still waiting here, just to reassure the old people at home.

Once the old people in the family are gone, where the old man is there in the future, you will lift the roof and no longer have anything to do with me. ”

The pink-clothed woman's face changed slightly, and she understood Mrs. Guan's confidence in what she said.

The sisters-in-law of Guan Daren are still promising, and they have participated in the scientific examination one by one to be appointed as officials, and they have never touched the door of Guan Daren.

Those sons-in-law went to other places to become officials, and Mrs. Guan's daughters-in-law married back to their hometowns one by one.

Since then, Mrs. Guan has allowed her concubines to act willfully.

As long as the matter does not provoke Mrs. Guan, she pretends not to know.

In those years, the older concubines, after their sons got married, also went to ask for the kindness of Lord Guan, and lived outside with their sons one by one.

Now in the concubine room of the Guan Mansion, there is really no friendship with Mrs. Guan.

The woman in pink knew in her heart that the lady concerned was there, and everyone would be happy, and someone would press her head, but there would still be no big incident.

The woman in pink secretly heard the old servants mention that the old lady Guan and his wife in their hometown are not in good health, and it is about the past two or three years.

After the woman in pink grew older, she had already seen what kind of person Guan Daren was, and she wanted to rely on Mrs. Guan, but Mrs. Guan had no intention of continuing to operate.

After the woman in pink retreated, Mrs. Guan sighed and said to Su Qingzhi: "Sure enough, the more you want to hide, the more opportunities you have to jump up and reveal your identity." ”

Su Qingzhi smiled very indifferently, Mrs. Guan had already seen and understood the things, so naturally she didn't need anyone to comfort her anymore.

Su Qingzhi entered Mrs. Guan's courtyard, she only felt that this courtyard did not look like the courtyard of a housewife, it was too empty.

Seeing the surprised look on Su Qingzhi's face, Mrs. Guan laughed softly and said, "Most of my dowry was distributed to my children when they got married.

In the future, I will not be gone, and those things will not fall into the hands of irrelevant people.

I have made an appointment with my eldest son and my wife early on, and in the future, when the elders of the family are gone, I will live with them. ”

Su Qingzhi raised her eyes and looked at her and asked, "Where is your family now?"

Mrs. Guan looked at her and smiled slightly, and said, "My sons and daughters and I have always lived with Master Guan in a foreign place.

He told me that his hometown was very strange to him, and he was almost the same to his hometown.

Some thoughts, far away, his heart has some attachment to his hometown.

He has always been worried that after getting too close, the people and things of his hometown will break the dream in his heart.

In this life, he has an old home in his heart, but he is destined to be an official far away from his old home. ”

Those who are outside the city of Urn will one day be able to return to the city of Urn as officials with merit.

Officials in other places, for a day as an official, have to avoid their hometowns.

This is also to exempt the officials from taking care of their relatives and friends, and they can be single-mindedly and impartially on errands when they are in other places.

Su Qingzhi likes the refreshing and refreshing layout in the room, when she was young, she thought it was so neat.

After getting married, in addition to her own liking, Lin Wangshu had the same requirements as her in this regard.

However, she looked at the layout of Mrs. Guan's room, and could only explain it in a very simple way.

A floor-to-ceiling bed, a table, a chair, and a wardrobe for common clothes.

Su Qingzhi just glanced at it, and she could feel that this was a room for a woman who lived alone.

There are no traces of a man's life in this room, even if there was, I am afraid that Mrs. Guan has also smeared the traces clean.

Mrs. Guan's room is also very simple, with a table and a few chairs, and a wide reclining chair than the box where the restaurant serves female guests.

After Mrs. Guan beckoned Su Qingzhi to sit down, she ordered someone to serve tea.

After Su Qingzhi took a sip of tea, her eyes lit up, she looked at Mrs. Guan and said with a smile, "Good tea." ”

Mrs. Guan looked at her and laughed, and said, "Mrs. Lin, this tea has a light taste, and it is most suitable for people like you who don't usually drink tea."

In the future, when you are free, you come and sit down, and I will invite you to taste other teas. ”

Su Qingzhi smiled and nodded lightly and said, "Mrs. Guan, what you said is very true, good tea also needs to meet people who can taste tea." When you meet me, at most it is the conclusion of good tea, and no more. ”
