Chapter 1 A bowl of rice porridge

"Lady, the medicine has already been boiled, you finally fell asleep, I can't bear to wake you up, hurry, drink it while it's still hot." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Since Mei Xueyansu woke up, Mrs. Chen often saw her in a daze, and she didn't sleep steadily, tossing and turning at night, even if she fell asleep, she quickly woke up with heart palpitations.

Mei Xueyan took the blue and white porcelain bowl and smelled the fragrance of the medicine, which was really bitter and pungent, but in her opinion, it was rare. She has been sick for nearly half a month, and her sister-in-law Shen only thinks she is lazy, and her wife is deaf, and it is difficult to find a medicine, so this bowl of medicine is precious to her, even if it is bitter, it is as sweet as a gluttony, and the bitterness and spicinessness of the medicinal soup stimulates the tip of the tongue to remind herself that she is still alive.

Seeing that Mei Xueyan drank the medicine silently, Mrs. Chen's nose was sour, the lady has always been stoic and sensible, not to mention the bitterness of the medicine, she was beaten and punished, and she was so sick that she couldn't walk, and she didn't cry out in pain.

Mei Xueyan shook her hand and said with a faint smile: "Mother Chen, why are you crying so decently?"

Xu was because of drinking the hot decoction, Mei Xueyan's yellow and thin cheeks rose a little red, and she had a trace of her daughter's delicateness, like a living person.

"I pity the lady, you have been bullied by mermaids since you entered the Lin family, then the Shen family has no humanity when you move your hands, the stick beats and whips, the lady's life is bitter, and the Lin family is full of evil ghosts." Mrs. Chen sobbed and wiped her tears and whispered, "You passed out the day before yesterday and picked up a life, but Mrs. only came to see it and left a sentence, 'Aren't you still out of breath?' ā€

"Madame finally allocated two taels of silver to treat me."

Mei Xueyan was still smiling, more like sarcasm.

Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and said, "That's just to block other people's mouths." It's a pity that San Lang is not in the house, if he is here, you have a place to rely on, and he will definitely not stand by if he is bullied. ā€

The old man of the Lin family died early, with a total of three sons and one daughter, and the Dalang family is away all the year round; Erlang and Shen's husband and wife stayed in the house for a long time; San Lang Lin Yichen, that is, Mei Xueyan's husband, has followed his elders to join the army since he was a child, and has not returned yet; The little daughter of the Lin family will get married sooner or later.

After the eight classics are calculated, the female dependents of the Lin Mansion are left with Mrs., Shen and the child daughter-in-law Mei Xueyan, Mei Xueyan is a child daughter-in-law who has not yet started, and she is not even the flat wife that Ming Media is marrying, and Mrs. does not treat her very well, I am afraid that she will not be able to help her in the future. The Shen family only regarded herself as the only young lady in the Lin Mansion.

Mrs. was in charge of the outside business, so she handed over all the things in the family to the Shen family, she was a housekeeper, and her arrogance was even more rampant.

"What's the use of him even if he's there?"

Mei Xueyan also has no expectations for Lang Jun, who has never met for ten years, she entered the Lin Mansion as a child daughter-in-law, and the Lin family Saburo had already joined the army, and ignored her as a daughter-in-law, but I am afraid that she is also unkind.

"At least he is your husband, and with him, the Shen family will not dare to be so rampant."

Mei Xueyan rubbed the bowl body, and the residual heat of the decoction came from her palm, and she said disapprerovitically: "The Shen family is arrogant, and you don't rely on your wife's connivance?" Can Lin Saburo go against his mother for me? ā€

Shen's ruthlessness and Mrs. Lady's indifference and ruthlessness, she has long been used to being disheartened, but now that she has died once, she has another vision, her mood is different, and she has been relieved of the warmth and coldness of people.

This mind comes from another memory when Mei Xueyan was seriously ill and comatose, let's call it "past life" for the time being, she is also called Mei Xueyan, a graduate of the Chinese Department of Peking University in China on the earth, a lifelong obsession with academic research, without a partner, until her parents in their early thirties were terminally ill, only to find that they were alone, ignoring the feelings of their loved ones, and it was too late to change their past wrongs, and the son wanted to raise but did not wait.

"Like the first half of my life, I was obsessed with it."

This is the reason why Mei Xueyan is often in a daze, from this memory of her previous life, she sees another world and life, and her vision is no longer just Xiaoxiaolin Mansion, and the previous confusion and despair suddenly opened up.

Seeing that the lady was stunned again, Mrs. Chen thought that she was so sick that she didn't even know her brain, so she called her gently, but fortunately, after Mei Xueyan recovered from her illness, her eyes were clear, although her body was still empty, her expression had changed and she was full of vitality, and she was no longer sluggish and dazed in the past, and felt that she was like a new life, rather than a return to the light.

"Mother Chen, I'm hungry."

Mei Xueyan's voice was still a little hoarse, and her strength was insufficient, and she sounded soft and pitiful.

"It's good to be hungry, it's good to know you're hungry, I'll go to the kitchen and bring food, and you can lie down and rest for a while."

Mrs. Chen patted her hands and tucked the quilt for her, Mei Xueyan's heart was also warm, if there is anyone else in this world who can make her feel family affection and people's hearts, that is her own Mrs. Chen, who has followed her since she was a child, she is Mei Xueyan's nurse, and she entered the Lin family together and took good care of her.

If it weren't for Mrs. Chen's protection, she carried the dirty and tiring work, and when she was sick, she sought medical advice everywhere, Mei Xueyan was afraid that she would not even grow up, and she would have been swept away by a bamboo and thrown into a mass grave in the wilderness.

Mei Xueyan looked at the snow outside the window and was a little distracted, this life under the fence was really sad, she had to change her face in the future, whether her life was expensive or cheap, and she would not be bothered by others.

……

Mrs. Chen didn't expect to meet Shen in the kitchen, she was directing the cook Zhang Luo to have lunch today, Shen's guards were very strict, the cook was careful when cooking and serving dishes, Shen was afraid that they would steal food, so he personally came to supervise the work.

"Yo, isn't this Mrs. Chen?"

"Hey, hello young lady."

Mrs. Chen saluted and wanted to pass by, ignoring Shen, but she hit her squarely.

Shen was extremely interested in this "young lady", so that she didn't blame her for bumping into herself.

"Mrs. Chen, how is the sick ghost in your house? I can tell you, if you pick up such a sick ghost, don't let the whole house be infected with the epidemic! ā€

Shen grabbed Mrs. Chen and asked, fanning the wind on the tip of her nose with her onion-like fingers, as if she was afraid of being infected by the illness brought by Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen lowered her waist and simply replied: "Yan Niangzi is much better." ā€

"I'll just say, she's very hard, how many times have she been sick over the years? When I go back, I pretend to be sick and lazy, and I can kill someone if I get cold? It's the first time I've heard it, and it's amazing. You see, she can't die, I said a long time ago that I don't have to spend silver taels to pay her to ask for a doctor, isn't this decent? ā€

"Yes, Yan Niangzi Jiren has her own natural appearance."

Mrs. Chen only said something that was not heavy or itchy, and let Shen's mouth be like a kitchen knife, Mrs. Chen thought that she was scolded here, so she saved Shen from going to find the house, so that Mei Xueyan was angry when she was sick.

Shen scolded for a while, and it was not interesting to catch a silent mother-in-law, and she got out of the way after finishing up her hairpin appearance, she wore a jade gilt step shake today, with pearl earrings hanging in her ears, wearing a green skirt, and the soles of her feet were newly embroidered green lotus mandarin duck shoes, which were placed in the homes of rich and nobles.

Hong Zhi looked at it from the side, and whispered to Shen: "Young lady, this Mrs. Chen poked things out like crying and mourning the day before yesterday, causing you to almost be punished by your wife, I am unwilling for you to swallow this breath!" ā€

Mrs. Chen was using chopsticks to pick up some leftovers for the servants, and Shen, who had gone out with half a foot, twisted back.

"When the patient is recovering for the first time, he can't eat too greasy, and he can't make up for it."

Shen snatched the bowl from Mrs. Chen's hand, Mrs. Chen was just serving some ordinary side dishes, and the minced meat could be seen sporadically. Mrs. Chen felt that Mei Xueyan needed to replenish her body, so she took the risk of clipping a small piece of steamed carp, but she did not escape Shen's eyes.

"Come, for the sake of my sister, eat some vegetable porridge first, and then eat fish and meat when the spirit is better, the sick ghost can't eat enough, always thinking about eating more and occupying more."

Shen took the initiative to take a bowl and put a bowl of clear porridge, but he still pushed aside the green vegetable leaves and scooped the top layer of rice porridge, which was unharmed with the rice soup. Mrs. Chen held the porridge bowl with both hands, knowing that she couldn't get this meal, so she had a bowl of porridge to fill her stomach, and it was a big deal to open a small stove in the small courtyard, she planted some melons and vegetables, and she couldn't let Yan Niangzi go hungry anymore.

Mrs. Chen lowered her head and walked out of the kitchen holding gruel, but she never thought that Hongzhi would be scolded by her wife that day, and she turned all her hatred to Mei Xueyan's master and servant Shen. As soon as Mrs. Chen took a step, the heel of her shoe was stepped on by Hongzhi, Mrs. Chen lost her center of gravity and fell straight forward, the porridge bowl in her hand was also unstable, and she fell to the ground, and the porcelain bowl was also broken into eight petals.

Shen pulled down his face, his face cold.

"Mrs. Chen! What are you doing in a panic?! I didn't bother with you when I bumped into me before, but now I poured rice porridge and broke my Lin family's bowl, you are a vicious person, you don't want your master to eat, do you really don't need money for rice? My Lin family is a big family, and I can't stand a man-made like you! ā€

Mrs. Chen knelt on the ground and didn't get up, listening to Shen's reprimand, saying that she could only endure it for life, was there less of this kind of thing in the past? The Shen family didn't want to give the master and servant a way to live at all. Mrs. Chen is also a forbearant person, no matter how rampant the Shen family is, she will not say a word.

"Hongzhi, give me twenty sticks!"

Mrs. Chen is nearly fifty years old, and Hongzhi is not soft at all, and the family stick only greets her back, and she sweats out in a few strokes. Shen is like a mirror in his heart, a family stick on the back can't kill people, but the flesh wound is enough to hurt people for a long time.

Shen didn't want to kill her, this woman is quick to do things, she is a good hand, and she is more useful.

None of the girls and mothers-in-law present dared to squeak, and Quan didn't see it, and those who pleaded for Mei Xueyan's master and servant in the past had no good end.

Hongzhi hugged her hands after the execution, and looked at the embarrassed Chen Pozi with a smile in her eyebrows.

"I have always had clear rewards and punishments, Mrs. Chen has committed a crime, and she is not allowed to come to the kitchen to get food for two days!"

Enough of the beating and scolding, Shen avoided the broken bowl, stepped on the mandarin duck shoes and went to lunch with his head held high.

Mrs. Chen patted the soil on her knees, she couldn't straighten her back a little, she hunched over and cleaned up the broken bowls, and she didn't care if her palms were scratched by porcelain pieces, even if she complained, she could only swallow it in her stomach.

Hongzhi took the other girl's hand and said with a smile: "See, right?" Follow the right master's family, our sisters have to give three points of courtesy wherever they go, this Chen Pozi followed a sick man, only blame her for deserving it! ā€

Mrs. Chen didn't get any food, and she thought that the cabbage planted in the small vegetable furrow in the yard had not grown yet, and even the cabbage seedlings were wilting in the cold, so she could only pull it out ruthlessly.
