Chapter 33: The Dead Lady in Distress (End)
In the early morning of the next day, Shi Lan followed Li Tiezhu to the county government to recognize his relatives. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shi Luan took the cramped and restless Li Tiezhu to the study, while Shi Lan followed her sister-in-law Liu to talk, and before she knew it, it was noon.
After eating, the Liu family wanted to stay with Shi Lan here for a few days, Shi Lan was worried that Li Tiezhu would not be suitable, so he excused himself, had dinner, and made an appointment to come back in a few days, so he went back with Li Tiezhu in a carriage.
After a few days, Shi Luan was worried about his sister-in-law and didn't want her to be too far away, so he bought another house in the county and sent someone to pick up the two of them.
Shi Lan discussed it with Li Tiezhu, although Li Tiezhu was a little reluctant, but when he thought that his daughter-in-law was going to give birth next year, he didn't understand these things at all, and he had to rely on her brother and sister-in-law to take care of him, so he readily agreed.
Two days later, Shi Lan and his wife moved into the Erjin house not far from the county government with their belongings, and at the same time, Li Tiezhu also officially took office, became a servant in the county government, and ate the salary of the imperial court.
Having solved the basic problem of survival, Shi Lan went to Liu's Mansion with an increasingly heavy stomach to visit the Han family.
The Liu family made a lot of friends in the county, so they naturally heard about the county order to find relatives, and in the inner house, the Han family heard that Shi Lan was visiting, and hurriedly swept the couch to greet them.
Shi Lan smiled and chatted with her for a long time, first praising the beautiful scenery of Liu's mansion, the unique shape of flowers and trees, and praising the exquisite and elegant furnishings in the mansion, and the screen ornaments embroidered like living creatures.
Han accompanied the smile and should be harmonious, but his heart was worried.
There are people in this county who support them, and there is no shortage of turbid things such as gold and silver at home, and their Liu Mansion has a small face, and they usually can't find a chance to tie up, so how dare they offend.
Shi Lan, as his own sister, lives in a simple house on weekdays, and usually does not invite her, but today she specially came to Liu's Mansion and praised her in every way, although Han didn't have much knowledge, she also knew that she didn't come just to praise Liu's Mansion.
At first, Han thought that she was here to collect money, but she resolutely refused several times when she said that she wanted to give her objects, and even a small piece of play with gold wire was shirked and refused to accept it.
Han was confused, and he couldn't figure out Shi Lan's true intention at all, until Shi Lan chatted and said that she had lived in Lijiazhuang for some time, and Han had an idea, and felt that he had faintly touched the pulse.
With the idea that the friends of the dead Dao will not die and the poor Dao, the Han family ordered someone to call Li Chunni, who was also from Lijia Village, but he was secretly thinking about it in his heart.
It is said that in a big family like the Liu family, the concubine room should come over every morning and evening to say goodbye, and the Han family used to have this rule, but recently, these little hooves in the house are all restless, and the noise has not stopped every day, and the Han family felt annoyed, so they sent them to stay in their own yard, and they were not allowed to go out if they had nothing to do.
I thought that this must be cheaper for Li Chunni, who is used to pleasing the masters, but I didn't expect that it was Zhang Yinglian who was favored by the troublemaker, Han was a little surprised by this, but he was also happy to see a joke, anyway, Liu Gongzi has no longevity, and he is favored and disgraced, but in the blink of an eye.
However, looking at Shi Lan, who was calmly eating sweet water, Han suddenly couldn't see if she was going to change her attitude towards Li Chunni.
Han's heart turned a thousand times, and the maid at the door came to report, and Aunt Chun came to ask for peace.
Listening to the name reported by Yahuan, Shi Lan almost squirted out a mouthful of sweet water.
Han straightened his back, his face habitually cold, "Let her in." ”
Shi Lan smiled and nodded at her, and turned his gaze to the door.
Han is in the mansion, and the most he spends every day is figuring out people's thoughts, Shi Lan had an unintentional glance, but she interpreted it as a warning, and she hurriedly put away her usual posture as a big woman, with a kind smile on her white and round face.
Li Chunni walked into the house, and after curtsiding according to the rules, she honestly stood aside and bowed her head in silence.
Han glanced at Shi Lan flatteringly, and tried to soften his voice, "Aunt Chun, I heard that you were born in Lijia Village?" ”
Li Chunni pinched a peach-pink handkerchief and replied respectfully, "Yes, madam." ”
Shi Lan picked up a piece of peach cut into palatable pieces and put it in her mouth, squinting slightly and swallowing the sweet and juicy flesh.
The corners of Han's mouth opened, and he nodded in a similar manner, "Mrs. Li also lived in Lijia Village, and when she heard that you were there, she wanted to ask you to come and meet her." Don't go and see Mrs. Li yet! ”
After speaking, Han turned his eyes to Shi Lan, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to find out her attitude.
Shi Lan is clear about these tricks at the mansion gate, and she doesn't care about Han's inquiry, her target is Li Chunni, as long as she sees that this poisonous woman is not doing well, she will be relieved.
Li Chunni listened to Han's order, took a step forward, lowered her eyes, stared at Shi Lan's skirt hanging on the ground, and curtsied, "I've seen Mrs. Li." ”
Shi Lan put down the silver spoon in his hand, turned his head and looked at her playfully, "No courtesy." ”
Li Chunni raised her eyes and saw Shi Lan, a pair of eyes full of charm glared at the boss, Shi Lan looked at her pale face and trembling all around, and her mood instantly improved.
Frowning slightly, she looked Li Chunni up and down, turned her head and said to Han with a smile: "The water and soil in Lijia Village are really good, and the women raised are different from those next to them. ”
Han Shi twitched the corners of her mouth, although Shi Lan was smiling and talking from beginning to end, she just felt that something was wrong.
Shi Lan didn't think she would reply, and said, "Speaking of which, I look familiar with this aunt, but it seems that I rescued the woman by the river in Lijia Village." ”
Li Chunni didn't dare to speak, she only bit her lower lip hard, and lowered her head to hide the pair of bloodshot eyes that were so hateful.
Shi Lan touched her stomach, a soft smile flashed on her face, and then she looked at Li Chunni mockingly, and said, "It's a coincidence, I became pregnant after that day, and I think it's a good person to get a good reward." ”
Shi Lan's words were like a fuse that completely detonated Li Chunni's deeply suppressed unwillingness, resentment, and hatred, she hated Li Tiezhu's ruthlessness, and categorically rejected her affectionate confession, complaining that Shi Lan was not dead, and she was standing Li Tiezhu's wife in vain, and she was also unwilling, why should she watch Shi Lan show off her power in front of her again.
A maid came over with a teacup beside her, and Li Chunni suddenly came from it and stretched out her feet to mix it.
The little maid didn't want someone to make it bad, so she immediately tilted her body and poured straight towards Shi Lan with the hot tea in her hand.
Shi Lan has been cultivating diligently recently, and the sharpness of her five senses has long been far beyond that of ordinary people, as early as the beginning of Li Chunni's movements, Shi Lan had already gotten up and hid far away.
On the contrary, Han, who was sitting not far away, grinned at the hot tea splashing everywhere, and wanted to get angry, but because of Shi Lan's presence, he could only grit his back molars and endure himself, but with her eyes, she couldn't wait to eat Li Chunni alive.
After Shi Lan watched this farce, she was sure that Li Chunni, who had offended the Han family, would only have a worse life, so she rolled up her light sleeves and went home.
Before leaving, she also maliciously reminded the Han family that there were many female dependents in the house, and the wall or something still needed to be repaired, so as not to give Xiaoxiao a chance.
Seeing Han's repeated responses, Shi Lan went to his brother's house to eat satisfied.
