It is said that Xianglan slapped Aunt Lu with a latch, and searched out the clothes in public and fell on her face, Aunt Lu was so angry that she jumped in the house, thinking that when Second Uncle Lu came back from an errand, she cried and complained, and was gritting her teeth, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door, and a voice said, "Is there anyone at home?" Miss Chunyan is home! ”

Aunt Lu hurriedly opened the door, only to see her eldest daughter Chunyan standing at the door, wearing a blue phoenix tail chrysanthemum pattern gown, with a red gold drop bead and two agate hairpins on her head, jasper earrings dangling in her ears, and gold and silver twisted silk bracelets on her wrists. There was an old woman standing next to her, and behind her was a little girl of seven or eight years old, holding a burden in her hand.

Aunt Lu was so happy that she scratched her ears and cheeks, clapped her hands and said, "Who else should I be?" It turned out that our family's phoenix is back! "Let's go to the house, and pour tea for the mother-in-law who follows.

Chunyan took out a handful of money from her sleeve and stuffed it into the woman's hand, and said with a reserved look: "Trouble my mother to take the little girl back to the carriage and wait for me, and take the money to buy some wine and eat first." ”

The woman smiled when she got the money, dragged the little girl and left. After closing the door, Aunt Lu said, "Why did you come home in a good way?" You're back just in time, you don't know, there's something to ......"

Who wants Chunyan to cry out with a "wow" first, Aunt Lu Er was startled and asked one after another. Chunyan covered her face with a handkerchief, crying and shaking her head, and Aunt Lu pulled her to the back room and sent the three children out to play. Chunyan wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Brother Parrot, that little prodigal hoof is a month pregnant!" ”

Brother Parrot is also the master of the Lin family, Lin Jinlou, although it is two months later than Chunyan to close the house, but he steps on Chunyan everywhere. Second Aunt Lu was stunned for a moment, and Chunyan said hatefully: "I won't accept it!" Uncle three through the room, in terms of appearance and figure, what point can I not compare to that little hoof? Even my grandmother looked down on me, treated me kinder than they did, and lifted me up in everything. Uncle Yuan also loved me, and gave me a few pieces of jewelry and clothes, but I was fascinated by the little slut and wrapped my legs. That prodigal hoof can just sing a few songs to make the masters happy, and the general obscene color of the powder head, elevating her as an aunt and grandmother will not slap the Lin family's face! ”

Aunt Lu said: "She is pregnant, what did the eldest grandmother say?" ”

Chunyan said with tears on her face: "Grandma has been in the door for four years and has not come out, what can she say?" The old lady's rewards came down, and she sent two old mothers and two daughters-in-law to take care of the little hoof, and two little girls were also sent to take care of the little hooves, and they were almost caught up with the young lady's scenery, and there were also silver and jewelry, and a new red gold head and gold and silver bracelets, and said that as long as the child was born, whether it was a man or a woman, she would be raised as an aunt......" said and leaned over the kang and cried.

Aunt Lu also became anxious when she heard this, Brother Parrot's father and mother were also on an errand in the house, originally it was nothing, since the daughters of the two families were taken in by the uncle, they fought-for-tat, and when they met, they sneered, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and even moved several times, which was simply bitter hatred. If Brother Parrot lifted his aunt first, Aunt Lu also felt that her face was dull, and she was even more shameless than Xianglan hitting her a few more door latches. At the moment, he patted Chunyan on the back and said: "Since that little prostitute has a body, she can't serve the uncle, you hurry up and envelop the uncle's heart, let him stay in your room for a few nights, have a son earlier, and carry the aunt!" ”

Chunyan straightened up, wiped her tears and said, "How can it be so easy." The uncle is always not in the house, he goes to the capital for a while, and he goes to Yangzhou for a while, and it is easy to stay at home for a few days, so he asks the thrush to serve the slut, or he goes to the parrot's house, and he treats me lightly, and even the grandmother does not pay attention to it. These days, the uncle is in the capital, and I heard that the eldest lady has married him a good concubine in the capital, beautiful and gentle. The eldest grandmother was stunned for a long time when she heard this, and took my hand and said: 'Yan'er, although you and I are master and servants, we are like sisters, even those girls who marry are not as good as you, and I have an indescribable fate when I see you. Brother Parrot looked at the fox and said, I don't like her, but now you and I are in the same situation, the uncle doesn't like me, and I have nothing to say, I just hope that the person I am proud of can get the uncle's blue eyes, who thinks you are also a poor person. ’”

As soon as I heard this, I was annoyed, and said to the grandmother: 'Brother parrot's prodigal goods are bullied to the milk**, and the grandmother is a virtuous person, but I can't bear this tone. But the eldest grandmother said with tears: "If you can't bear it, you have to endure it, who told my belly not to be angry, seeing that Jingli married a concubine to the uncle again, I heard that she is still the daughter of a scholar, and she is outstanding, so there is no place for the two of us, and now Brother Parrot is the person in the uncle's heart, you should also avoid her, so as not to kill yourself......"

Chunyan said as she took the warm tea handed over by Aunt Lu and drank it all, threw aside the wet handkerchief she was crying on, pulled out another one from her sleeve, wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "How many dirty people in the house are waiting to see my jokes, and Brother Parrot is holding his waist and covering his belly in front of my eyes every day!" I either want to eat fish or chicken all day long, and I think the food is salty for a while, and then I say that the soup is light, and I am in a hurry to make this and that in the small kitchen, for fear of being sluggish, I want to have a bowl of other dishes and have to look at my face...... I have to have a smile on my face, and if I don't go home and cry, I won't be able to live......"

The second aunt of Lu is in a hurry, the future of their family is tied to the eldest daughter's nepotism, if the daughter lets others rob the favor, the good life of the Lu family will come to an end, not to mention that Brother Parrot's family and the Lu family are not dealing with each other, if they are pressed by them everywhere, not to mention their daughter, their whole family is difficult to gain a foothold, smacked her lips and said: "Grandma is such a powerful and majestic person, there is no way?" ”

Chunyan raised her eyebrows and said, "What can I do?" Could it be that you can still pull the seed from my parrot's belly into my belly? ”

Second Aunt Lu thought about it, and said with a gloomy face: "Even if you can't get it in your belly, you can't let her give birth to it!" ”

"How?" Chunyan looked at Second Aunt Lu's hideous face and leaned forward slightly.

"You have a third aunt and grandmother who was originally a stable woman in the house, and I followed her for a while when I served in the house in my early years. If you don't want to ask a pregnant woman to give birth to a child, there are many ways, tiger and wolf medicine, abortion injections, and rushing food, adding two or three condiments is enough for the little slut. ”

Chunyan was taken aback, felt that her hairs stood up, and said in a low voice: "What if this is found out......"

Second Aunt Lu snorted and said, "Do it cleanly, who can find out?" Do you think old ladies and wives are clean? The door of the mansion is very dirty, who has not taken a human life in their hands? Saying that, he held Chunyan's hand, and Yin Yin said: "My good daughter, when I was a child, I knew that you were different from your sisters, you were handsome and smart, and now you have entered the mansion to be the uncle's room, and you can become half of the master of the Lin Mansion, and the grandmother will promote you again, this is a godsend!" In the second half of your father's life, your brothers and sisters, and your life's decency, all in the past few years. Your third aunt and grandfather are in charge of a medicinal herb shop, and I will ask him to prepare some small medicine when I go back...... Hmph, give the little slut the same food, and you quietly put it in the uncle's tea bowl, and make sure that he hurts you a few more times at night. ”

Chunyan's face turned pale at first, and then her face turned red when she heard it, and Aunt Lu Erzi pulled her scattered sideburns behind her ears, and said softly: "The first month is the most unstable, and the most easy to slip tires......"

When Chunyan came out of the house, she was refreshed, she combed her hair again, and her face was evenly covered with rouge and gouache, but her eyes were still a little swollen. Xianglan came out with a wooden basin to splash dirty water, and saw Chunyan standing at the gate of the courtyard and turned around to talk to Aunt Lu, so she dodged and hid behind the grape trellis.

She has seen the eldest daughter of the Lu family the least, because she lived in Jingyue Nunnery before, when she jumped off the wall to return to the vulgar, Chunyan had been in the house as a maid for several years. She vaguely remembered that Chunyan was a handsome girl, and she also lamented to Xue's that Aunt Lu's bamboo had grown good bamboo shoots, but Xue said that Aunt Lu was also beautiful back then, but after giving birth, she was as fat as a sow.

Now look at Chunyan, that rich dress, lined a little more pretty than at the beginning, the original delicate and white face is coated with a thick layer of fat powder, adding a bit of charm, the water snake waist twisted, like a big girl who waits in Israel. Xianglan pursed her lips, listening to the gossip of the third aunt and six mothers-in-law, in order to make new and expensive clothes, Chunyan made a beautiful hairpin ring, and used the monthly rules and the master's rewards almost cleanly, and the clothes and jewelry she didn't love were taken home to give to her father, mother, and siblings. Xianglan thought to herself, if she was willing to take more money for her family to live, why would Aunt Lu steal her family's things every day?

Seeing Chunyan go out and get into the carriage, Xianglan shook her head, raised her hand to splash the water in the basin, and turned around and entered the house.
