Not married?

What's the use of a woman not marrying?

Master Zhou glared.

Their Zhou family doesn't want useless people.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and held the wine glass to him.

"She's like this, what kind of good family can she find." She said, "I lost my mother and my family, and I have been stupid for many years, and now I just got an immortal prescription that I don't know where to cure my disease, but it still looks different from ordinary people, who can look at those good people." ”

She accentuated her tone on the three words of a good person, and Master Zhou understood.

The so-called good people are naturally useful people to the Zhou family.

Master Zhou took a sip of wine and didn't speak.

"It's better to stay at home, with you and me, she eats and drinks well, even if you and I are gone, and the children also treat her as an aunt to support, isn't it better than going to someone else's house to be angry?" Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, "Besides, she still has a dowry, wouldn't it be more comfortable to live?" ”

Master Zhou suddenly nodded again and again.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly how it should be." He said, "It's still thoughtful, worthy of your aunt." ”

"I'm just fair." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile.

"Come, Madame, pluck your husband to pour wine for you." Master Zhou smiled, took the wine jug, and poured wine for Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and picked it up, and in the winter night room, the old husband and wife were also happy.

At three o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Zhou had already changed her clothes and sat down to eat tea slowly.

"Mother, I don't ride in a car with her anyway." One woman said, a little unhappy, "It's uncomfortable to look at her." ”

"Then don't go." Mrs. Zhou said.

"No, the lady of the Qiao family has a good tea art, so it's easy to meet her. I don't want it. The woman said. While pulling on his mother's sleeve. "Mother, bring another car, let her sit by herself, it seems that we value her even more."

As she was talking, there were footsteps outside the door, and Mrs. Zhou glared at her, motioning for her to sit down, and she was busy with a kind smile.

but the servant women entered.

"Ma'am. Cheng Niangzi her, she said, don't go. She knelt down and bowed, and said in a trembling voice.

The smile on Mrs. Zhou's face faded.

Look, look, she'll know! Just know the way!

Madame Zhou sat down in her niece's hall once more, in order to invite her out with her.

As long as this thought flashed, Mrs. Zhou, who sat down, wanted to get up and throw her sleeves away.

As an aunt to do this kind of work, she is the only one in the world, right?

But she had to grit her teeth and sit down.

"Why don't you go? How can you not believe what you have said? She said. looked at the woman in front of her.

The woman in front of her was eating slowly.

A woman who is always in the morning and dusk. What a system!

"When did I say I was going out?" Cheng Jianniang raised her head and asked.

"Didn't you say it yourself, to diagnose people?" Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth and said, the smile on her face was a little stiff, if it weren't for decades of experience as a wife and mother, she really couldn't control her temper.

The corners of Cheng Jianniang's mouth curved, lowered her head and took a bite.

"Madam, my lady said that she could diagnose a patient, not go out." The maidservant on the side said.

"Madame and lady talking, what do you interject." The servant woman behind Mrs. Zhou immediately said.

"Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, madam, it's not that the little maid doesn't know the rules." The maidservant girl said with a smile, "My lady is sneering and can't say much, so I, who is a maidservant, have to speak for my lady." ”

So?

This Cheng Jiaoniang really rarely speaks, it turns out that she can't speak.

So how can any fool really be like a normal person all of a sudden, that's not really weird.

The servant woman didn't know what to say, and Mrs. Zhou let out a sigh.

"If you don't go out, how can you diagnose a doctor?" She said softly.

"Madame doesn't know, my lady has two rules for healing." The handmaid laughed.

From beginning to end, Cheng Jianniang was eating with her head down, and Mrs. Zhou had to look at this maid.

"One of them is not to come to the doctor." The maidservant said, "Just waiting." ”

What a rule!

"That Chen Xianggong's family...."Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but say.

The maid interrupted her with a slight smile.

"Of course, if it's like Chen Xianggong's family, it's a different matter." She said.

Like Chen Xianggong's family?

Mrs. Zhou was stunned.

What do you want her to say like this? How can you say?

Say that you are not as good as Chen Xianggong, so you are not qualified to please?

She's crazy and still doesn't want to mix in the capital!

"Jiaojiao, don't mess around, you didn't set this rule yourself?" She took a deep breath and said.

Cheng Jianniang shook her head.

"Since it's decided, it can't be changed, how can you not believe it?" She said.

Mrs. Zhou choked again.

"Besides, if the rules are broken, I won't be able to see it." Cheng Jianniang said.

If the rules are broken, you can't see it? Is this a threat?

If you don't follow her rules, won't you watch it?

Mrs. Zhou looked at the woman in front of her who was still eating indifferently, gritted her teeth and got up and left.

After dinner, it was the time for the children of the Zhou family to greet their parents, and Liuliulang came a little late, and there was only one sister sitting in the house when he entered the door.

The atmosphere in the room was a little dreary.

"You too, if you don't go, you won't go, just follow the rules, what's there to be angry about?" Master Zhou said.

Only then did Liu Lang see that Mrs. Zhou's eyes were slightly red.

"Mother, what's the matter?" He asked hurriedly.

"It's fine." Mrs. Zhou squeezed out a smile and comforted her son.

"What else can I do, it's all that Jiangzhou idiot." My sister spoke on the side, with a little anger, "I blow out the big words and good words, turn my face and deny it, let my mother be a villain, and today I am outside, my mother is ridiculed!" ”

"Qi Niang, shut up." Mrs. Zhou said, "You can rest and go." ”

"According to me, it's my father and mother who are too used to her!" Zhou Qiniang said, got up to leave, and saw Liuliulang again, flicking his sleeves, "And you!" ”

Zhou Qiniang left, and Liuliulang was still sitting still, looking at his mother and sighing. With a bit of whimsy.

"She." He opened his mouth to speak. Master Zhou also happened to open his mouth. Saturday Lang stopped.

"She didn't mean to mess around with this." Master Zhou said, stroking his beard, "In the past few days, I have vaguely heard that she can cure diseases by relying on the immortal prescription left by an immortal." ”

"Father." Liuliulang couldn't help but shout.

How can such nonsense be believed! It is also used to comfort the mother, but it is too false.

"Or maybe it's not an immortal, it should be a wandering Taoist priest or a scattered person or something." Master Zhou laughed. There was still a bit of alcohol on his face.

Unlike his wife, who was sneered at by women when he went out to socialize, men have a long-term view and don't care about the bad times, so he is very comfortable outside these days, one has climbed a figure like Chen Xianggong, and the other is that there is a master who can come back to life at home.

"This stupid... Jiao Niang can be good, most of it is the credit of this master, but unfortunately, it has been stupid for many years. It's still not easy to make here. Master Zhou stretched out his finger and said with a smile. So, she can't remember, and she can't say it herself. ”

Mrs. Zhou and Liuliulang were a little stunned when they heard this.

"Where did you hear about these things?" Mrs. Zhou asked.

The protagonist who is the protagonist of the conversation lives in their house, why don't they know about these things?

"Where can it come from?" Master Zhou said, "Chen Xianggong's family." ”

Because Chen Shao's father's illness has improved and his status is stable, there are bustling cars and horses in front of Chen's house during the Chinese New Year this year.

The concierge was full of people, as lively as a restaurant and tea shop, although the tea served by the Chen family's concierge was slightly inferior, and according to Chen Shao's habits, these people basically did not receive them, but this did not stop the visitors who came one after another.

In fact, they didn't want to see Chen Shao, but it was just officialdom, showing that when people arrived, their hearts arrived.

Most of the officials in the concierge were familiar with each other, smiling and greeting each other, and they had nothing to do in winter, sitting down to drink tea and gossip.

"....The master that the lady of the Cheng family met is said to be the divine doctor Bian Que...."

“… Pull it down, she is in the Taoist temple, and it should naturally be Li Zhenren who is riding a bull...."

In the noisy laughter, such words occasionally came out, and I don't know which person started on which day, and when discussing Old Lady Chen's illness, the topic shifted to this Jiangzhou lady who cured the patient.

Even talking about the rise, arguing endlessly, some people will pull the door to ask.

"Which immortal did you say Jiangzhou lady encountered?"

Let the men who add tea and pour water cry and laugh.

"Don't talk nonsense, how can there be such a thing." They had to speak, but they couldn't stop the flow of the words.

In the hall of Old Lady Chen, Chen Shao was also a little crying and laughing.

"Father, what are these words?" He said.

Old Lady Chen put down the scroll in his hand.

"Didn't you say that?" He asked with a serious look of confusion.

"Father!" Chen Shao smiled bitterly, "I'm talking about a master, not an immortal." ”

"Isn't that kind of master who can cure stupidity and resurrect the dead like an immortal." Old Lady Chen said with a smile.

Chen Shao was helpless, knowing that his father deliberately muddyed it.

"Father, spread this word," he said.

"I didn't send it out." Old lady Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm just chatting and laughing with the old servant, who knows who has passed the word, I am recuperating, but I didn't say it." ”

Chen Shao smiled.

If you hadn't instructed you, who would have dared to say it.

"Zi said that he was silent, and he was confused, I don't know if I don't say or ask." Old lady Chen waved her hand, with a bit of solemnity, "I only know that Mrs. Cheng is my savior." ”

Confucian disciples don't talk about it, but there are so many people in the world who are not Confucian disciples, especially this kind of miraculous thing, it is conceivable that with this New Year's Festival, Cheng Niangzi will definitely be full of life in the capital.

"Father, this way, is it good for Mrs. Cheng?" He asked, hesitantly.

"Cheng Niangzi is better when she meets an immortal than when someone else meets an immortal." Old Lady Chen smiled as if she didn't care, "There are many people waiting to pick up good luck in this world, but why is this good luck so easy to pick up." ”

As Master Zhou said, although the women who came and went to communicate were sour, they still stopped coming to the door of Zhou's house without doing so.

There were more carriages and horses in front of Zhou's house, and the originally wide front of the door was narrow and chaotic.

But no one was angry about this, and the men ran around with a little joy and a little pride to direct the parking of the carriage, and when the neighbors were watching the approach, they occasionally wiped their sweat with a little helplessness, and said a word of overt complaint and covert showing off such as being tired for the New Year.

Mrs. Zhou's living room was also full of people, and the laughter was loud through the door, and the topic was mostly around Cheng Jianniang.

“… Was he really stupid when he was a child? ”

"Yes, yes, I was originally good with Ge Niang when I was a child, and when I returned to Beijing a few years after I got married, she specially asked me to sit down." A lady sighed softly.

The children of the Zhou family love to name with weapons, and the women are no exception, Cheng Jianniang's mother is named Ge, ranking fifth in the clan, and people are either called Wu Niang, or called Ge Niang.

"Later, I gave birth to this child, and I was never seen again, and my daily letters were gone." The lady continued, with a bit of amazement.
