When she went, Shen Qinrou entered the house alone, but when she came out, there were more people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Lu looked up at the ordinary-looking woman, and although she didn't know who she was, she still bowed respectfully and greeted them in the direction of the carriage.

Ji Si has been waiting by the carriage for a long time, he is not a troubled person, yes, he didn't ask much, he bowed his head like Liu Lu.

Mrs. Cai nodded slightly at them, and entered the carriage with Shen Qinrou's support.

The carriage was relatively wide, and Mrs. Cai sat in the middle of it as a matter of course, although she was dressed in simple clothes, but as soon as she sat there, she gave birth to a steady momentum like Mount Tai.

Liu Lu followed Shen Qinrou and saw a little, and this lady with intuition was not an ordinary person, so she acted more respectfully and prudently, for fear of offending the nobles and ruining Shen Qinrou's affairs.

Mrs. Cai's mood was a little disturbed, and she had not been close to anyone for a long time, although she saw the little maid's respectful and cautious attitude, she didn't have the heart to comfort her.

"How long?"

Shen Qinrou skillfully handed her a cup of tea, and said softly: "Madam, wait, it's not far from the outskirts of the city." ”

In the capital area, even if Lu Zhu has been a big girl in Shen Mansion for many years, he still doesn't have the ability to buy a small courtyard in Beijing.

It is not difficult to rent a place to live in Beijing, but the pillar broke the leg, and the family's income was already reduced, and they had to spend money to delay medical treatment.

It costs money to rent a single house, and the environment of renting a large row house is too poor and noisy.

After moving out of the house and becoming a parent, life naturally can't be lived like before, oil, salt, firewood and rice are all money, Luzhu and Zhuziniang summed it up, and finally decided to simply move to the outskirts of Beijing.

The suburbs of Beijing are more partial than those in Beijing, but the cost is less, and when it comes to the environment, it is much quieter than Beijing, which is more suitable for patients to recuperate.

A red-roofed carriage finally arrived at its destination under the whip of the ups and downs of Ji Si.

It was nearly evening.

Wisps of smoke rose from the chimney.

Shen Qinrou stood outside the fence with Mrs. Cai for a long time, but she didn't see Mrs. Cai move her footsteps, Mrs. Cai didn't speak, and Shen Qinrou didn't say much, and stood quietly with her.

Luzhu, who had returned late, was carrying a large basket of pigweed on her back, and as she walked, she saw a carriage parked in front of her house.

The fog was thick in late autumn, and she didn't see what the carriage looked like, but faintly saw a few figures in front of the carriage.

She choked softly in her heart, thinking to herself, I don't know how someone would come to her house at this time, or by carriage.

It wasn't until she got closer that she could see the shape of the carriage.

Isn't this the carriage of the Shen Mansion?

She frowned, not knowing why the people of the Shen family came to her.

I didn't feel that my steps were in a hurry, and my mood was not as brisk as when I went home.

"Girl with Green Beads."

The first person to see people greet was not Shen Qinrou, who was waiting for someone, but Ji Si.

Ji Si and Zhu Zi are both working in the stable, the two have similar temperaments, after the Zhu Zi had an accident and left the house, Ji Si was not far from Zhu Zi's house, greeting and shouting people, naturally revealing a closeness.

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Lu Zhu cast a questioning look at him.

Ji Si shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

Midori frowned and walked to the door worriedly.

Shen Qinrou knew that Lu Zhu was back when she heard Ji Si's shout, and she turned around and saw Lu Zhu.

"Sister Green Bead." She shouted.

When Lu Zhu heard this familiar voice, her brows loosened, and she grinned, "Third Miss, why are you here." ”

"I just happened to be passing by here, so I thought I would stop by to see you." Shen Qinrou looked at her with a grin.

When Lu Zhu saw the veil on her face, her brows tightened again, "What is the third lady doing with the veil?" ”

Shen Qinrou touched her face and smiled, "Isn't this popular nowadays?" ”

Lubi's face sank, guessing that it was the little hoof in the courtyard who bullied her, and her mood was suddenly not very good, she wanted to say two words to Shen Qinrou, but she was afraid that the improper use of words would hurt Shen Qinrou's self-esteem, so she pursed her lips and said: "Miss came over and didn't know if it was for dinner, someone in the village killed the New Year pig in advance today, I went to buy a pig's trotter, I am afraid that it has been stewed, and the food made at home is not as good as that in the house, Miss and taste two bites to see if it suits your appetite." ”

Shen Qinrou nodded, took Mrs. Cai's hand, and invited her to join her.

Lu Zhu noticed Mrs. Cai on the side, and thought that she had a half-conversation with Shen Qinrou, but she didn't even say hello to Mrs. Cai, so she became a little embarrassed.

"Who is this?" She asked.

Shen Qinrou turned back to ask Mrs. Cai.

Mrs. Cai had already thought of a set of words, "I am a new nurturing grandmother in the mansion, surnamed Cai." ”

Lu Zhu said "oh" and said busily: "Hello Mama Cai." ”

I didn't doubt Mrs. Cai's identity.

Liu Lu, the maid who was brought up later, was a little eye-catching to Lu Zhu, because Lu Zhu only nodded at her slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Except for Chang Si, who stayed to watch the carriage, Shen Qinrou and the three entered the courtyard at the invitation of Lu Zhu.

Mama Cai looked at the courtyard enclosed by a bamboo fence, and her plain hands under the wide sleeves were clenched into fists.

"Why don't you build a wall of earth?" She asked.

Because it was the person brought by Shen Qinrou, Lu Zhu didn't speak so much, she shrugged the back basket on her shoulder with a smile and said: "If you want to build a blockage for money, you want people and silver, and you have spent a lot of money to set up a family, Brother Zhuzi's legs are not good, and the bottom of the family has to be kept, and you can't spend it indiscriminately, and the pigs raised at home will be sold next year, and the chickens raised will be sold, and you will almost be able to enclose the wall." ”

Shen Qinrou took her hand and shook it hard, "Didn't you say that there was any difficulty in leaving the mansion to tell me, why did you forget about it when you left the mansion." ”

Lubi pursed her chapped lips and grinned haha.

Shen Qinrou's situation in the mansion is difficult, she can't help her in the mansion at all, how can she add trouble to her after leaving the mansion.

Besides, she just has less food and clothing these days, although it is harder, it is more comfortable than living in the house.

"What's the difficulty, you see I'm still eating stewed pig's trotters today."

Shen Qinrou touched her rough cutting hand, didn't say anything, and quietly followed her towards the door.

Zhu Ziniang had already heard the sound of talking outside the door, guessing that her daughter-in-law had come back, so she got up from the stove, took off the lampshade of the oil lamp, and took out a flint and flint to "pop" a few times to ignite a spark, the lamp emitted a faint light, she covered the lampshade to block the wind, and the lamp stabilized.

"Green Beads." She called and opened the door.

"Hey, mother." Lu Zhu responded and said with a smile: "Look who is coming." ”

Before Zhuzi moved her family out of the Shen Mansion, Zhuzi Niang was working in the Blowing Snow Courtyard, so she also knew Shen Qinrou, and when she saw someone coming, she smiled, "Why is the third lady here, please come inside." ”

Saying that, Zhu Ziniang held the lamp in one hand and carried the back basket behind the green bead with the other, "I asked you not to go to hunt pigweed at night, why don't you listen to what this kid says, the black light is blind, how good is it if something happens." Zhu Ziniang muttered, thinking of the cold wall of her bald wall, she couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Zhu smiled and put down the basket by himself, "Mother, I'll do these things by myself, I'll carry them home, and the family will be counting on the two newly held piglets next year, how can I be hungry for them." ”

Zhu Ziniang came back to her senses, looked at Shen Qinrou and them, felt that she was a little out of shape, rubbed her hands dryly, put the oil lamp on a wooden table and said to Luzhu: "Don't be busy today, treat the third lady well." ”

"Third Miss, we don't have anything to entertain you, coarse tea and light rice, I hope you don't dislike it."

Shen Qinrou smiled, "Sister-in-law Qin is polite, you should be busy with you first." ”

Zhu Ziniang heard Shen Qinrou say this, turned around and saw that the fire in the stove was about to go out, so she hurriedly turned around and sat in front of the stove.

Lu Zhu scooped water and washed his hands, rubbed his hands on his body, and pulled Shen Qinrou to the hall.

Mrs. Cai quietly followed behind Shen Qinrou and them, without saying a word, but clenched her fists under her sleeves a little more.

There was a rotten pot in the hall, and the pillars were not lit with oil lamps, but some wood scraps were added to the rotten pot for lighting.

The flame of the wood burned much brighter than that of an oil lamp.

The leg injured by the pillar has not been well after being raised for more than half a year, and he can't do heavy work when he goes out, and he can't drive a carriage, so he can only make up some household items at home to earn a little money to supplement the family.

"Brother Zhuzi, didn't you tell you to rest?" Green Bead was the first to enter the house, and moved the pillars and the baskets that had been braided in front of him to the side.

The pillar stopped, looking at the rattan for a long time, his eyes were a little dazzled, he rubbed his eyes and looked at the people who came in, first smiled at the green beads and said, "A dignified man, you can't sit at home and do nothing." ”

Lu Zhu glanced at him with a smile, put a few baskets to the side, touched a few bamboo stools made of pillars and came out to greet Shen Qinrou, "Sit, third miss, you're welcome." ”

The figure of the green bead was in front of him, and the pillar didn't see it clearly, so the green bead moved away, and when he heard her speak again, the pillar saw that there were three other people in the hall.

Shen Qinrou knew him, thinking of the injury on his leg, he sighed, pulled down his head and smiled, "Why did the third young lady come to us, sit down." ”

He also greeted people with green beads.

Shen Qinrou sat down as she said and turned back to Mrs. Cai.

Mrs. Cai's face is not so good-looking.

It is possible that Luzhu is her daughter, and a mother can't be happy to see her long-suffering daughter living such a life now.

Liu Lu stood quietly aside with Dongben in her arms, but this seemingly hard day attracted her envy.

may think of his family who no longer knows where he has fallen, and his face is a little gloomy for a while.

"Sit down." Lu Zhu greeted people with a smile, turned his back and grabbed a pinch of tea leaves into the clay pot and put it in a clay cup, lifted the pot to make tea, "There is nothing good to entertain, it's cold, drink a cup of tea to warm up." ”

Shen Qinrou took it, she looked back at Mrs. Cai, Mrs. Cai didn't speak, she really took the pottery cup like a nurturing grandmother.

The water vapor hazy Mrs. Cai's eyes were a little moist.

Liu Lu was still immersed in her own imagination, Lu Zhu shouted at her a few times, she came back to her senses, looked at the things she was holding with her hands, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Shen Qinrou casually put the pottery cup on a bamboo low table and smiled, "Brother Zhuzi's weaving things are so fine that they are worth the things sold outside." ”

In the face of the sudden compliment, the pillar only scratched his head and smirked.

Lubi smiled and slapped the pillar on the shoulder.

"Brother Zhuzi tinkers with some things that can only be used at home, how can you take them outside, Miss, you like to take a few things back when you go back, Brother Zhuzi also carved some bamboo tubes, which are not as fine as the house, just want to be elegant."

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Shen Qinrou stood up with a smile, pointed to the pile of things that Liu Lu was holding and smiled, "I went out and asked Liu Lu to pack some things, I don't know what is valuable, a few of them are old clothes, you see if you can wear them, there are some medicinal herbs, let's go inside." As if she had thought of something, Shen Qinrou pulled the green bead into the inner room.

"Brother Zhuzi, our girl's family says something private, you can't come in and eavesdrop." Approaching the door, Shen Qinrou said to the pillar like a joke.

The pillar could only smile back.

The green beads are much more clear than when they first left the house, their faces are sharper, they are darker, and their hands are thicker.

Women all love beauty, Shen Qinrou not only brought some clothes and fabrics, but also brought some rouge gouache and grease.

Lu Zhu quickly discussed those issues with Shen Qinrou.

At the beginning, the green beads were disobedient when they were sold to the hook bar, and they suffered a lot of whips on their bodies, and some whip marks were not raised well for many years, and I heard that Shen Qinrou took the elixir of scar removal in the palace, and said with great interest that she wanted to try it.

Lu Zhu is not the kind of person who twists, there are only a few women in the room, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about, so she immediately closed the curtain and undressed, revealing her back, and her back was full of staggered whip marks.

Liu Lu couldn't bear to look at it, so don't turn your face.

Mrs. Cai looked at her back, her eyes fell on the red spot as red as a red flower on her Tianzong acupoint, and she gritted her teeth fiercely.

"I'll rub the medicine for Miss Green Bead." She said.

Because Mrs. Cai was brought by Shen Qinrou, Lu Zhu didn't have much thought, so she nodded.

At the same time, Shen Qinrou pulled Liu Lu and said to Lu Zhu: "There are still some things in the carriage that have not been unloaded, so Liu Lu will accompany me out for a trip." ”

Seeing that Shen Qinrou deliberately left space with Mrs. Cai and Luzhu, she was a little curious, but she still obediently walked out of the house with Shen Qinrou.

Mrs. Cai's index finger dipped some fragrant grease and applied it to her back hand, and her hand belly was gently rubbed in circles, but her face trembled.

"It hurts." She said.

Luzhu smiled and said: "It's been so long, it hurt at the time, but I can't remember it well after too long, at that time, fortunately, Miss wanted to pick me up, otherwise I wouldn't even know the pain now." ”

Mrs. Cai's hand paused, "She saved you." ”

Lu Zhu smiled, his tone was a little cold, "Yes, I was thrown from the hook bar, and I was dying, and I felt like I was going to die in a trance." ”

"She's such a crybaby, she cries all the time, and my aunt really can't do anything with her, so she has to take me back with her."

"No wonder you treat her differently."

Midori let out a long sigh, "She's a poor child too. ”

Mrs. Cai was silent for a while, and the movements of her hands did not stop.

"Mama, can I ask you something?"

Mrs. Cai was stunned for a moment, and said with her eyes narrowed: "You say." ”

"You take good care of her in the house, Miss has a hard time, it's very hard."

Mrs. Cai smiled, "With you saying this for her, it was worth it for her to save your life at the beginning." ”

Luzhu shook her head, "I owe Miss too much, you don't understand." ”
