There are all kinds of products in the house, and Ruan Huizhen doesn't plan to take things out to make up for them. Since Lu Canwen insisted on taking her and the old lady out, he was naturally responsible for it. Anyway, there will be no food or drink at that time, so I will take the old lady to find Lu Canwen.

At the request of the old lady, Ruan Huizhen really went to find a cat and a dog to come back. They were all wild cats and wild dogs picked up on the road, which were cleaned up by Ruan Huizhen and kept in the yard.

Without worrying about eating and drinking, and being able to raise cats and dogs, Mrs. Lu seems to have returned to the old days. I have a very happy life, and I don't have any other thoughts except for thinking about my son.

Nguyen Hoi Chun did not stay at home.

She is very familiar with the Shanghai of later generations. But this is the first time she has come to Shanghai in this era.

After talking to Mrs. Lu, she went out directly to the street.

At this time, Shanghai also has a bit of an international city feeling. There are a lot of foreigners on the road, most of the pedestrians on the street are still wearing suits and vests, and most of the women are wearing Western clothes, unlike the previous provincial towns or Lujia Town, most of them wear conservative cheongsams with big braids.

Looking at this prosperous scene, Ruan Huizhen couldn't be happy.

The more foreigners there are in Shanghai, the more humiliation the country will suffer. The more prosperous it is, the more it sets off the tragic situation after these prosperity were destroyed by artillery fire in the future.

Thinking about it like this, Ruan Huizhen's mood was very heavy.

Sometimes she also wonders why she came to the Republic of China. This era is too special, the collision of old and new ideas, the division of warlords, and the division of powers. In this era, I am like a grain of sand, and I can't have the slightest impact.

When she came here, she could only watch her country suffer.

For the first time, Nguyen Huizhen felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The business of Greater Shanghai is very prosperous, and all walks of life have developed very well. Ruan Huizhen walked around and found that Shanghai was still dominated by foreign goods.

The unequal treaties signed under the fire of foreigners controlled the country's customs, and foreign goods entered the domestic market unimpeded. Under this trend, domestic industrial products have been suppressed.

Ruan Huizhen felt that maybe she could do something. She didn't believe that she had come to this era, just to be an abandoned little daughter-in-law.

"Huizhen, you're back."

Ruan Huizhen returned to the small courtyard with a heavy heart, and only then entered the far gate, and Mrs. Lu sat on the rattan chair with a smile and called her.

She was holding a black and white kitten in her arms, wearing a clean cheongsam, somewhat like a rich wife in this era. In fact, Mrs. Lu used to be a rich wife.

"Huizhen, Canwen came here just now," Mrs. Lu couldn't stop smiling when she talked about it, "In a few days, Canwen will bring his friends to the house for dinner." ”

Ruan Huizhen was about to enter the house, and when she heard this, she paused and turned around, "Canwen wants to bring a friend to dinner?" ”

"yes, it's the friend who helped us prepare the house." Mrs. Lu was very happy, "After all, people have helped us so much, and it is necessary to have a meal." Fortunately, Canwen also knows that the two of us are not familiar with each other, so we don't need to prepare. ”

Hehe, I didn't give a dime, prepare a fart.

Ruan Huizhen burst into a foul mouth and said, "That's good, I just went around the street, and the prices here are really high." Much higher than the provincial capitals. If we were to prepare a meal, I really didn't know what we could prepare. ”

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she also realized that she had no money in her hand now. The money from the daughter-in-law was also used to open a shop, and it is estimated that there is not much left in her hand. Even if she had, she was too embarrassed to mention it to her daughter-in-law again.

She touched the cat on her lap, "I still have to talk to Canwen, and I'll give us a little living expenses." ”

Ruan Huizhen is not willing to serve Lu Canwen and his 'friend'. So she just listened to this matter and didn't take it to heart.

For two days in a row, she would go to the streets of Shanghai every day after breakfast. First, I am more familiar with this era, and secondly, I also take the opportunity to buy some precious seeds.

Now there are many ginseng planted in her space, and all kinds of qualities are available. And she's found another benefit to space. Because she couldn't buy Ganoderma lucidum strains, she simply bought a small dry Ganoderma lucidum and planted it in the soil. And she also watered a little water in the space, and found that after only one night's work, this Ganoderma lucidum not only lived, but also grew again.

Ruan Huizhen even felt that this Lingzhi seemed to have mutated, the size of a palm. And there is a tendency to continue to grow.

Now she found that the space water was too against the sky. Not only can it cure diseases, but it can also make dead trees grow a second time in spring.

In addition to cultivating precious medicinal herbs, Ruan Huizhen also planted some rare varieties of plants, flowers, and fruits on the market.

I don't know which of these plants are working, but the water in the puddle is getting bigger and bigger, and even the original puddle is automatically getting bigger. Ruan Huizhen tried it, and the taste of the water seemed to change a little. In the past, there was only the fragrance of ginseng, but now it is mixed with the taste of various plants, which is very exciting. It is also very sweet in the mouth.

What's more, Ruan Huizhen found that after drinking this spring water, her skin became whiter and whiter. The original small particles of freckles on the face before have become lighter and lighter, and even faded. Even Mrs. Lu praised Shanghai's good water and soil and raised people beautifully.

"Huizhen, you should also make a good dress to wear. People rely on clothes, you are becoming more and more beautiful now, and after wearing good clothes, you must be more peaceful. Canwen will like it when the time comes. ”

Mrs. Lu persuaded.

Although Ruan Huizhen did not have the idea of dressing up for Lu Canwen at all. But in the end, there is also some love of beauty. She now wears some old clothes left by the original owner every day, and she has an old-fashioned bun on her head, and even if she has a seven-point appearance, it has become three points.

I was busy making a living before, and I didn't want to arouse the old lady's suspicion, so I didn't care about my appearance. Now that the old lady has spoken, she is also a little moved. But she wasn't in a hurry about it, she sighed, "I don't know how much it costs to make a dress." ”

When the old lady heard this, she was very moved, her daughter-in-law is really diligent and thrifty. She was going to wait for her son to come to dinner tomorrow and find an opportunity to mention it to him. No matter how hard life is, I have to take some money out to make one or two sets of decent clothes for my daughter-in-law, and I will not lose my dignity when I go out to meet guests in the future.

The second day was Lu Canwen's vacation. It was also the day that was scheduled for a treat.

Although Mrs. Lu didn't need to prepare anything, she also attached great importance to the first visitor, and took Ruan Huizhen to clean the house inside and out, and transplanted some plants and flowers that were not precious, but sold well.

The small courtyard also adds a bit of elegance.

Lu Canwen came here in the morning, and there was also a beauty wearing a cheongsam with an outstanding temperament.

When Mrs. Lu saw it, she was almost dazzled. Although this woman's dress is not luxurious, it is exquisite from top to bottom. At first glance, he is a very tasteful and very particular person.

Of course, what surprised her even more was that this woman turned out to be the 'friend' who had a very good relationship in her son's mouth.

"Mother, this is Xiuran, she also works in the school."

"Hello, auntie." Lin Xiuran greeted Mrs. Lu very decently, and took out the prepared gift. It is a precious silk scarf.

Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Why be so polite, today we are treating you to thank you, how can you still give gifts." ”

"Aunt is polite, it's my honor to be able to come to dinner today, how can I come empty-handed."

Lu Canwen was very happy to see his mother and lover talking happily, "Mother, let's go into the house and sit down." ”

"Hey, look at my foolishness." Mrs. Lu hurriedly invited Lin Xiuran into the house.

Let Ruan Huizhen watch the tea while walking.

Lin Xiuran glanced at the woman pouring tea. She knew that this was the 'gift'. As Canwen said, at first glance, she is a woman who was born in the countryside and has no knowledge.

Seeing her like this, Lin Xiuran's heart relaxed slightly. It's a bit ridiculous to feel like you're facing the enemy before.

After sitting down, Mrs. Lu pulled Ruan Huizhen to her side and sat down. While thanking Lin Xiuran for her help. At the same time, he introduced Ruan Huizhen to his son's 'friend'.

"Huizhen and Chanwen have also been married for a few years, and they have been taking care of me at home all these years. If I hadn't dragged it down, I would have let her come out with Canwen a long time ago. My daughter-in-law here is good at everything, but she doesn't like to go out on weekdays, and she always guards me. I see that Miss Lin is so outstanding, she understands a lot of nature, and she also asks us to cherish it on weekdays. ”

Lu Canwen glanced at Lin Xiuran worriedly on the side, and said to Mrs. Lu, "Mother, I invited Xiuran to dinner today, what are you talking about." And Xiuran is usually very busy at work, so she doesn't have this time. ”

Mrs. Lu smiled, "That's what I said, look at me I'm really confused, how can I trouble Miss Lin." ”

When Lin Xiuran heard this, she felt bored, bit her lip, and said with a smile, "Aunt is polite, I will teach Zhen in the future." ”

Mrs. Lu smiled, "Thank you so much." He said to Ruan Huizhen again, "Huizhen, Miss Lin is a good friend of Canwen, you are Canwen's wife, and you have to get along with Miss Lin more on weekdays." ”

"Yes, mother." Ruan Huizhen responded obediently, and was already calculating Lin Xiuran's psychological shadow area in her heart.

Wholeheartedly came to please the future mother-in-law, but listened to the mother-in-law keep giving her the original match a sense of zài, which is really heart-wrenching.

Lin Xiuran was obviously also hit. She underestimated the relationship between the old lady and Ruan Huizhen for a long time. Now I don't have the heart to please the old lady. So I only listened to the old lady in the back, and she didn't respond very enthusiastically.

In fact, Lin Xiuran, who feels that she is a woman in the new era, does not have the idea of pleasing her mother-in-law. Love is a matter of two people, and it has nothing to do with parents. Even if the old lady doesn't accept her, it will not affect her and Lu Canwen.

Lunch was ordered and delivered from the restaurant outside.

It was a delicate meal, and except for Ruan Huizhen, everyone else was not very happy.

Especially Lu Canwen, he felt that the atmosphere between his mother and his lover had become very delicate.

After eating, Mrs. Lu made an excuse to leave Lu Canwen, who was going to send Lin Xiuran back.

Seeing Lu Canwen unruly watching Lin Xiuran go out, the corners of Mrs. Lu's mouth pursed tightly.

When Lin Xiuran left, Mrs. Lu asked Ruan Huizhen to close the door and led her son into the hall.

"That Miss Lin, it has nothing to do with you." Mrs. Lu went straight to the point.

As the housewife who has lived in the mansion, Mrs. Lu is naturally not a fool. From the first time she saw that beautiful Miss Lin, she felt that something was wrong.

A girl from a good family will be good friends with a man? Will you come to a man's house alone for dinner?

Obviously, in Mrs. Lu's education, men and women will definitely not have such a simple friendship relationship.

So just now she deliberately pulled her daughter-in-law to her side to make a stand. As expected, this Miss Lin was not a patient person, and her attitude suddenly became cold.

Hmph, still want to fool her? No way!

Lu Canwen wanted to hide it for a while and find a suitable opportunity to bring it up again, but he didn't expect to be seen by his mother now, and he was suddenly a little flustered.

"Mother, Xiuran is a good girl, when I was in trouble, she was with me and never gave up."

Hearing her son admit it, Mrs. Lu shook angrily, "When she accompanies you, does she know that you are married?" ”

"Mother, it's not like this, you know that my marriage is not what I want."

"But you're married! Your daughter-in-law is Huizhen. This woman is your concubine? Or do you do the outer chamber? Canwen, you are a person who has studied abroad, don't you keep saying that you want to learn new ideas, why are you so confused? ”

At this time, Mrs. Lu really hated iron but not steel.

She didn't expect her son, who was looking forward to becoming a talent, to be fascinated by beauty. Even if you want to marry your aunt's wife, you will have to wait until after the age of thirty. Marrying an aunt's wife at such a young age is simply obsessed with women.

"Mother, Xiuran is not a concubine, she is my wife. She and I got married, and we were married in the presence of our friends. ”

"Married?!" Mrs. Lu was so angry that she almost fainted. Her son is married, how did she not know?!

Ruan Huizhen overheard this outside the door and felt that she should come out, "Mother, is it true, is what Canwen said true, that Miss Lin, she, she is Canwen's concubine?" Her eyes were red, and her face looked like she couldn't stand the blow.

Sure enough, haha, that woman is really Lu Canwen's woman.

The key is that he married a concubine, why didn't he drink the tea as an eldest woman. So she cried, "No, no, it's not Canwen's concubine, she didn't get started, it's just an outer room." Mother, Canwen actually raised an outer room! ”
