Chapter 2 Understanding the Situation
86_86270 Shui Ling didn't sit down, stood on the side and roughly introduced the situation at home. Qin Mengdie slowly summed it up in her heart: Now she is also called Qin Mengdie, and the courtyard where she lives is called Xunmengyuan, and she is the eldest daughter of Qin Haichuan, the squire of the military department. The biological mother Zhuang Xiaodie is the father's original match, born in a small businessman, married his father when his father was just a county prince, and the foreign owner's family helped his father a lot financially, and his mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her younger brother six years ago. His younger brother has been in poor health since he was a child, and has been raised in the aunt's courtyard, the old lady looked down on his mother's background back then, so he didn't even look down on himself, because his mother gave birth to his younger brother and died, the eldest aunt and several aunts said that the younger brother killed his mother, so he hated his younger brother very much over the years.
And his personality is becoming more and more withdrawn, he has hardly been out of the yard in the past two years, and he is practicing martial arts all day long, and he was struck by lightning and fell into a coma yesterday in the rain, and he woke up and became his current self. Qin Mengdie digested it for a moment and then asked, "You tell me about the situation in each room." ”
Shui Ling was a little surprised, this young lady has always been deaf to what is going on outside the window, why did she change sex when she was unconscious? But that's fine, you can't live a life in a daze, and you have to marry someone in the future.
began to talk about the situation: "The eldest aunt Wang Xiuya is the niece of the old lady Li, so the old lady and the eldest aunt are the closest, and there is a daughter named Qin Mengxin, who is the same age as the young lady, but two months younger than the young lady. The second lady is a little domineering. The second aunt is gentle and gentle, and she is the cousin of the Ministry of Rites, so her status in this family is relatively high, even the old lady has to give her some face, and now she has no children under her knees, which is her heart disease.
The third aunt Li Qiaorong is nothing special, she is fiddling with flowers and plants all day long, she doesn't know much about it, and she has a daughter, that is, the third lady Qin Menglan is thirteen years old. The fourth aunt, Lin Yaozhi, is a scholarly family, does not ask about the world, worships Buddha all the year round, and has a daughter Qin Mengting who is twelve years old.
The fifth aunt Zhang Wanqing just entered the door last year, she is eighteen years old, the daughter of a young and beautiful merchant, and her dowry is more than that of other aunts. The old man has a younger brother named Qin Haishan, who is in his hometown and came over during the New Year's Festival. is that they are supported by the old man, and the old lady is partial to the second master. But what the slave knows is also on the face. ”
Qin Mengdie's memory except for the Tang and Song dynasties generally did not attach much importance to merchants, so he could also deduce the approximate time, so he asked: "Shui Ling, what is the status of merchants?" And I'm not saying stop calling yourself a slave. She was really not used to this class system, and when she heard about slaves, she felt that she was exploiting underage girls.
mentioned the businessman Shui Ling was a little excited and said: "The country attaches great importance to businessmen, and Ma Gongzi in the capital today is the son of the imperial merchant, and the emperor intends to marry the princess to him, but Ma Gongzi is not a person who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix, so he politely refused." ”
Qin Mengdie was a little curious and said, "You told me about the current political situation of the country, you know." ”
Shui Ling thought for a while and replied: "Miss, I don't understand the political situation, there are four countries on our continent, we are the Great Qian Country, the largest country, there are three countries around us, and the coastal country is by the sea, and they are very rich because they are surrounded by the sea on three sides to provide sea salt to Cangshan Country and Liyuan Country." There is also the country of Cangshan, which is rich in minerals among thousands of mountain peaks. Not far from our original country, they are dominated by grasslands. Shikoku is peaceful, and there has been no war for more than 20 years, so now more value businessmen. "This girl is very receptive, and soon she will stop calling herself a slave, she seems to be a good seedling, not stubborn.
Qin Mengdie's dream when she was a child was to be a general, she originally thought that she could realize this dream after crossing over, who knew that there would be a peaceful and prosperous world, so she could only do some business and make some money, this is an overhead era, so she should be able to play a lot. This family doesn't even treat itself when it's sick.,It doesn't seem to be a good place.,When you have money in the future.,Move out.,But don't all the grievances and hatreds that pass through a little exciting.,Why don't you even have a person to pay attention to? On the contrary, I feel more uneasy, if it is easy to deal with it on the surface, if it is really an opponent in the shadows, I am really a little nervous.
Now that I understand about it, I asked, "Are there only three of us in our yard?" ”
Shui Ling replied: "There is also Shan Xing to wash clothes, there is a sister-in-law Li in the small kitchen, Miss doesn't like to go out to eat, so I set up a small kitchen, we almost don't go out much, Miss doesn't like a lot of people, there were two third-class maids before, and Miss was driven out." ”
Qin Mengdie was a little worried: "Are the two of them reliable?" ”
Shui Ling was a little surprised, and then lowered his voice: "Miss, you finally know how to read people's hearts, I have always felt that Sister-in-law Li is unreliable, her man is the eldest aunt's coachman, Sister-in-law Li was sent by the eldest aunt a few years ago, and she began to look at you very strictly, and it seems that you have not changed much recently, so I don't care too much about your situation, and I sneak out to chat with other mothers-in-law when I have time, probably to help my aunt collect intelligence."
There is nothing abnormal about the mountain apricot, but it is not close, and she reads in the room after doing what she should do, she used to be a young lady, and then she became a subordinate in the family road, literate and hyphenated, and still have a clear high in her bones. It's not like the bad guys, though, just too cold. ”
Qin Mengdie nodded: "Who did I learn martial arts from?" ”
Shui Ling said embarrassedly: "Miss, you are self-taught, and you have practiced according to a few old sword books......
Qin Mengdie felt a little cold when she heard this, she thought that she had crossed over to become a heroine, and practiced martial arts through thick and thin, but she was not even a half-ass, but fortunately, her physical fitness was not bad, she was originally a soldier, and she should have the ability to protect herself, but when she thought of the heroes in the TV series, she still felt that she was not confident enough.
She said to Shui Ling: "You don't let anyone know about our conversation today, and don't let others know about my changes, but if you believe me, our good days are coming." ”
Shui Ling looked at her with wide eyes and trust: "Miss, you give me a very down-to-earth feeling now, I believe in you, it must be Mrs. Manifestation, I will listen to you." ”
Qin Mengdie still couldn't help asking: "Why does Leng Qing call me my sister instead, but my mother?" ”
Shui Ling was a little aggrieved and whispered: "This child has been called this since you brought it back, and Miss didn't change her mouth, I said it a few times and it was useless, it has been called for two years, and I am used to it." ”
"Do the others know that no one said anything about the big kid I brought back?"
"Our courtyard is almost isolated from the world, and others can't see it, and besides, they fight openly and secretly all day long, and they don't have time to care about the affairs of our small courtyard, they can't wait for Miss to have any bad rumors, and they will worry about dealing with you." Shui Ling replied.
Qin Mengdie understood almost the same and said: "Call Leng Qing in, what were we like in front of outsiders before, and we are good sisters when the door is closed." ”
Shui Feng looked at Qin Mengdie movingly: "Thank you, Miss, for your trust, in the future, even if it is for Miss, I will go to the knife mountain and the sea of fire." ”
Qin Mengdie pulled Shui Ling's hand: "I still expect you to help me do great things in the future, but don't go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire at every turn, go and call Leng Qing in, don't let the child feel estranged in his heart." ”
Shui Ling went out to bring in Leng Qing, Qin Mengdie knew that this child who was not born by himself was at ease, and hugged Leng Qing with both hands, "Mother, let's see if Leng Qing is heavy." As soon as she was picked up, the little girl giggled, revealing two small dimples.
Qin Mengdie said: "I named Leng Qing a nickname Xiaoxiao, child, it's so good, is it okay to laugh?" ”
Leng Qing hugged Qin Mengdie's neck: "My mother said that it would be good, and I will laugh and laugh in the future." ”
"Miss, you're really different, you couldn't speak ten words a day before, and Miss Xiao and Miss don't like to talk, you see how good it is now." Shui Ling looked very happy.
Qin Mengdie touched her smile and smiled, "Xiaoxiao, in the future, you don't know who asks you anything, except for me and Shui Ling, you can't say anything to whoever asks you, if you can do it, I will take you out to play in the future." ”
Looking at Qin Mengdie innocently with a smile, she nodded fiercely, "Really, mother?" I promise I don't know what people ask me, so when are you going to take me out? ”
Qin Mengdie smiled and touched her smiling head: "It depends on your performance, and I have to wait for my illness to heal." She is still not used to being a mother to such a big child, and she is still adapting.
Xiaoxiao is a child after all, and he ran out to play after being tired of being here for a while, Qin Mengdie said to Shui Ling: "I'll rest for a while, call me at dinner time, and help me prepare a set of men's clothes later." "Shui Ling wants to boil some porridge for Qin Mengdie first, Qin Mengdie will see that it is not too early, it is useless, just eat together in the evening
