Chapter 250: Pan Jinlian
In this life, Yuko was reincarnated as a poor and hateful woman, and her name was Pan Jinlian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 When she was 10 years old, there was an accident in her family, she was forced into a sedan chair by the Zhang family's housekeeper, and her father had been beaten and covered in blood and fell to the ground.
The housekeeper asked her father for her mother, and her father said that her mother was dead, and her father was beaten. The day before, she heard her father, mother and uncle whispering something, and the next day her uncle and mother were gone, so the housekeeper couldn't find her mother. The housekeeper was the mother who listened to Zhang Shanren's dispatch to pick up Pan Jinlian, but failed to let Zhang Shanren get his wish, and the person disappeared.
The beating of his father and the disappearance of his mother have a close relationship with this Zhang Shanren, Pan Jinlian's family was ruined, which was designed by Zhang Shanren, and he is Pan Jinlian's enemy in this life.
Pan Jinlian was sent to live with the maids who did rough work, a small room, crammed into four people, each with only one bed to move, there was no light in the house, and the room was dark and damp.
Since Pan Jinlian arrived in Zhangfu, she has never done rough work, being the lady's personal maid, only serving the miss, doing needlework, accompanying the lady to write poems and paintings, and wandering around the garden. Miss plays the piano, she burns incense, Miss writes poems and paintings, she sharpens ink. In the Buddhist hall for three years, it was to chant scriptures, knock on wooden fish, and copy scriptures, her mental burden was heavy, but her body did not suffer.
Now the housekeeper was ordered by Zhang Shanren to torture Pan Jinlian as much as possible, asking her to go to the kitchen to wash vegetables for a while, and asking her to light a fire for a while, and suddenly saying that there was not enough firewood for her to chop wood.
Zhang Shanren is scheming, he has no flesh and blood affection for his daughter at all, but he pretends to be a loving father, and when his daughter dies, he asks Pan Jinlian to go to the Buddhist hall to pray for her. Thinking that Pan Jinlian is young and cardamom, how can she stand that kind of loneliness and rough diet?
It's a pity that his carefully planned plan didn't succeed, and it took him three years of hard work in vain, and now it's changed to physical torture, to see if Pan Jinlian can stand such a subordinate life, if she can't stand it, she will naturally turn back and ask Zhang Shanren to accept her as a concubine.
On the one hand, the housekeeper instructed Pan Jinlian to do heavy work, and on the other hand, the housekeeper often persuaded Pan Jinlian to say: "Jinlian, look at your appearance is a smart person, why are you so stupid? ”
"Can you be so comfortable as a maid? The master said that as long as you agree, and then renew the incense for his Zhang family, then you are older than those aunts and wives, and who in Zhangfu doesn't stammer you? ”
The housekeeper was nagging, Pan Jinlian ignored him, chopping wood, a piece of firewood flew to hit his feet, he was angry: "Good you Pan Jinlian, toast and don't eat and drink, don't chop wood, wash that pile of clothes!"
The housekeeper had already prepared a bunch of clothes, and he didn't know where or who wore them, they were greasy and greasy, and they smelled strange, and they were all stuffed into Pan Jinlian.
Today is a heavy snow in the twenty-four solar terms, according to the usual practice, it will snow sooner or later today, such a cold weather makes Pan Jinlian wash so many clothes, it is clear that he wants to torture Pan Jinlian and force Jinlian to comply, and he deliberately let other workers go to the fire.
"Roast the fire, roast the fire, in such a cold weather, Jin Lian is the life of a maid, let her be the master, she doesn't do it, what are you worried about for her, I can tell you, if you don't finish washing this clothes, you won't eat dinner." ”
Pan Jinlian staggered and picked up the dirty clothes stuffed with two buckets, and went to the well alone, there were snowflakes floating in the sky, Jinlian shed tears, and beat the dirty clothes with a small mallet, and a mallet hit the clothes, and the black sewage flowed down the bluestone slab by the well. Jin Lian cursed Zhang Shanren in her heart, and imagined hitting Zhang Shanren with a hammer. Only then did he slowly relieve his hatred, and finally his feet were red and his hands were cracked, so he washed his clothes and sent them to the room where he dried clothes in winter and put them on bamboo poles to dry.
Jin Lian slowly moved to the kitchen at this time, trying to find some food to satisfy her hunger, she was cold and hungry, and she couldn't walk anymore.
There were still a few people in the kitchen roasting under the kitchen, and a cook didn't say anything, handed Jin Lian a big bowl of hot noodles, and said, "Jin Lian, eat quickly, you're hungry." ”
Jin Lian shed tears, couldn't care about anything, squeezed to the fire and sat down, roasting her numb legs and feet. There are still two poached eggs hidden under the hot noodles, after eating, Jin Lian's body is also warm, and several people around the fire said: "Alas, the orphan is so pitiful, he is bullied, and no one helps, this chick is very tough, but I don't know how long it can be hard, and the snobbish housekeeper has a way to clean her up." ”
The other asked puzzledly: "Jin Lian, are you really stupid or fake stupid?" There are many people in Zhangfu vying to be concubines, and when they become concubines, they are half masters, how can they suffer so much?"
Jin Lian lowered her head and didn't say anything, what could she say? Can Jin Lian tell them that Zhang Shanren is the culprit who caused her family to be ruined?
Pan Jinlian returned to the room where four rough maids lived together, and the room was filled with a strange smell, mixed with the smell of sweat. Jin Lian gritted her teeth and stood up, no matter what hardships and dangers, she couldn't let go, and she would never share the bed with the enemy who didn't share the sky.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the butler still did not spare the golden lotus, because there were many dishes to be made, and there were not enough people to burn the fire, and it would be unlucky to miss the time to worship the ancestors. The housekeeper gloated and said, "Jin Lian, I know you can do a good job, go and make a fire, it's quite warm there, better than washing vegetables." ”
Pan Jinlian was in charge of a stir-fry stove and asked for a big fire, so she began to stuff firewood into the stove. The firewood was a little wet, and it was put into the stove, and when the light saw the smoke, there was no flame, and after a while, the golden lotus burst into tears. Jin Lian hurriedly took a blow torch and blew it desperately, but she didn't expect the charcoal ash to blow up, throw it on her face and eyes, Jin Lian wiped her face and eyes with dirty hands, she could imagine that she had become a veritable black charcoal head.
It seems that the dishes are almost fried, I think it's late enough, Pan Jinlian's chores are about to stop, she took out the handkerchief she brought on her body and was about to wipe her face and sweat, when suddenly the housekeeper came to her and said: "The master is waiting for you at the kitchen door, this is the last chance, you have to think clearly." ”
Pan Jinlian arrived at the kitchen door, and Zhang Shanren, who was drunk, said: "Jinlian, this is the last time I ask you, do you promise to be my concubine in the fifth room?"
Pan Jinlian didn't wipe her face, her face was sweat, tears and charcoal, her face was burned red, and with a pair of hateful eyes, she looked terrible. When he heard Jin Lian's answer that he would rather die than obey, Zhang Shanren, who had always been known for his calmness, actually took two steps back, as if he had been scared awake by the wine.
He stared at Pan Jinlian, Jin Lian didn't dodge, he also stared at him, he couldn't take his eyes off, he did too many bad things, and always thought that Jin Lian would really share the bed with him, Zhang Shanren actually avoided Jin Lian's hateful eyes and left silently. The steward, who obeyed the orders of the master, also walked away without interest.
Jin Lian, like several other maids who did rough labor, generally worked, generally ate, and generally rested. Jin Lian felt that this was nothing, she was used to it. And her diet is much better than before, and she is no longer a picky eater, and she can swallow anything.
People are really strange, as long as they make up their minds, it seems that they can endure any hardship, and no matter how bad the conditions are, they can bear it. However, Jin Lian thought to herself, that Zhang Shanren wouldn't let her go like this, would he?
This year, Pan Jinlian was already twenty years old, and she didn't expect to enter Zhang's Mansion at the age of ten, and spent a full ten years here, but how did Jin Lian spend the past ten years? The first six years were young, following Miss, with her protection, and her teaching, Jin Lian learned a lot of things, which is not usually available to Yahuan. The past six years have been a mess, but they are also happy and simple.
After the death of the young lady, Pan Jinlian was already sixteen years old that year, it was a good day for a woman to be in the cardamom years, but she was stuffed into the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures for the young lady, not to mention the difficult living environment, especially unbearable is the kind of loneliness and loneliness, every day is a rigid monotonous, the same, no change in life; early morning recitation, until noon, afternoon is to copy the scriptures. With no friends, not even a person to talk to, Pan Jinlian felt that her youth and life had been consumed like this.
Fortunately, she came out of the Buddha hall alive, but she disobeyed Zhang Shanren and did not listen to his arrangement, and Pan Jinlian's life entered another reincarnation, endless physical torture and analysis of Zhang Shanren's calculations. The spring has passed, and her face is getting old, and she is about to become an old aunt who can't get married.
Zhang Shanren saw Pan Jinlian carrying a basin to the well to wash clothes, and deliberately walked in front of her with square steps, and said to Jinlian: "I am a person who has done my best to be benevolent and righteous to you, so let's treat you as my daughter, and I will marry you on August 15 this year." ”
"I also told you that the porcelain Guanyin in the Buddhist hall is also your dowry, it has been with you for three years, you will definitely be reluctant to give it up, it will bless you with peace and blessing. The Ruyi Langjun I personally picked for you is the most difficult thing in the world to find, and I have found it with great difficulty, and you will definitely be very satisfied, ha!
Zhang Shanren laughed all the way and walked all the way to the car, the wicked man was gone, and Jin Lian could get a moment of peace.
