Xianglan sat on the soft couch with a bandage in a daze, feeling very aggrieved, and saw that no one quietly wiped her tears. She is helpless in the house, like Hui'er and Huairui, she really can't do it. I was expecting to work hard to gain a foothold, and to be kind to others everywhere, endure humiliation without fighting, but somehow I was bullied and robbed of merit everywhere, and I had no place to stand.

When I was wiping my tears with my sleeve, I suddenly heard someone at the window: "Xianglan, come out and do my wife a favor." ”

Xianglan hurriedly turned around, and saw Mrs. Liu standing outside, waving to her from the window, Xianglan hurriedly blinked back her tears, walked out of the house, and said with a forced smile: "What's the matter with Mother Liu?" ”

Mrs. Liu said: "Go to the tea room and help me pick up." ”

The two entered the small tea room at the back of the house, and Mrs. Liu stared at Xianglan's face for a moment, then sighed and said: "You kid, you are also honest, you even cry secretly behind people's backs when you are angry, no wonder you are bullied by a few of them." ”

Xianglan smiled reluctantly: "It's not that I'm crying, I was blind, and I rubbed my ...... vigorously" When she saw Mrs. Liu's shrewd expression, she stopped her mouth and lowered her head.

Mrs. Liu pulled a small Mazha and sat down, patted the empty Mazha next to her and said, "Girl, sit here." Xianglan sat next to Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are new to the city, and I don't want to say anything, I just look at you coldly as a good person, not like their frivolous girls." But he will only blindly do stupid work, and he has tried to persuade you several times but he has not got a chance. Today, I saw those few people who were clearly squeezing you, my old woman really couldn't stand it, you were a cow and a horse every day, and you stayed up for three days to make a pair of shoes, I knew it, and I saw it in my eyes. ”

Xianglan was comforted in her heart, feeling that half of her grievances were gone.

Mrs. Liu said: "You girl, you are too soft, when you are bullied to death, you will be scolded for being a wreck!" What a good thing that cousin is! Her grandmother is just a cousin of our old lady, because of the dirty decades ago, she will never move around, and now she rushed from Yuzhou to fight the autumn wind, the old lady, the old lady originally thought that her parents died, it was really not easy, even if her grandmother was a little inappropriate, there was nothing wrong with her granddaughter, she was also pleasing with a clever mouth, so she left her. The old lady was a little worried because of her grandmother's bad character, so she ordered the second wife to ask around, and guess what? ”

Xianglan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

As soon as her father died, she and her brother took the dowry of her two sisters and the property of a brother-in-law, and also came up with the idea of marrying her sister to an old and fat salt merchant as a house-filler, and her sister to a white-bearded seven-grade sesame official as a concubine. Because these two people don't want a dowry, they can still give his family a lot of silver! ”

"Huh?" Xianglan was stunned.

"The second lady is a person who doesn't rub sand in her eyes, and she reported this to the old lady immediately. The old lady was fooled by her cousin at first, and asked her to live with Sister Aya, and within two days the two quarreled, and beat Sister Aya, so the old lady let the cousin move out, lived in the farthest and most remote Luo Xuewu, and gave her the most unpopular Huairui in her house. ”

"Huh?" Xianglan was dumbfounded, Huai Rui turned out to be the most unpopular maid in the old lady's house!

"Huairui's father is the steward of the old lady, and he has to send his daughter to the house, in fact, he has made an abaccus to be an aunt, but her daughter is ...... Tsk, which one can you handle with your appearance? is lazy and lazy, and is used to playing slippery, the old lady only tolerated it in the face of the old lady, and stuffed her to her cousin, but I didn't expect them to be like-minded. Mrs. Liu smiled coldly, "I once saw Huairui secretly stuff a piece of silver and two pieces of material to Miss Huan, and Miss Huan accepted it quietly." Hey, it's a big joke, only Miss has rewarded people these years, and now there are girls who give gifts to Miss! ”

Xianglan smiled slightly: "No wonder my cousin didn't send her work, I think it's the credit of that piece of silver and those two pieces of material." ”

Mrs. Liu sighed and said: "But Miss Huan has already entered the house, and it is not so easy to go out again, and now I have to wait for her to marry when she is full of filial piety." In order to get more silver, Miss Huan asked the house to give her more dowry, and the old lady was indifferent to her, she still refused to give up, and the old lady still remembered a little bit of old love for her, so she always asked the old lady to treat her well, and Grandma Lou befriended her, and the two of them didn't know how much silver the Lin family had calculated. ”

Xianglan didn't know what to say, so she silently poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu snorted and said: "Seeing that the old lady Zeng is about to kick her legs, the big house will come back from the capital to run for the funeral, and when the eldest lady comes back, let him fight any demons and monsters back to his original form!" ”

Xianglan said: "Mrs. Dafang is really so powerful? ”

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "If this was twenty years ago, the eldest lady was still here, how could there be such a situation in the house, and then the eldest lord was promoted, and the big house went to the capital, and only Uncle Lou was left by the old lady's side." The second wife is straightforward, not a good hand at the house, and she has been in charge of the house for a few years, so she is a little unpresentable. When Uncle Lou married his wife, Grandma Lou was in charge, and it became more and more undecent. The grandmother of that building only likes to listen to flattery, whoever is loud and respectful, who is more filial, will promote whom, there are few people in the house who work seriously, and they are lazy and slippery, and they make money in their pockets. If you want to say Uncle Lou, there is no one who is not praised, he is handsome and capable, not only took the Xiucai exam, but also took the martial arts champion, helping the family to do big business, and the money he earned can't be spent in a few lifetimes. But Zhen'er really responded to the sentence 'A good man has no good wife', married this thing, and after five years, he couldn't lay an egg, and he didn't let the uncle marry a little wife. ”

Xianglan thought secretly: "Zhao Yuechan is also a yaksha-like character, and she is good friends with Cao Lihuan, and she can be regarded as a gathering of likes. ”

That Mrs. Liu had been aggrieved for a long time, and she gushed endlessly: "When the eldest lady was there, she promoted me to the account room to settle accounts, and it was also beautiful for a while, and I didn't miss every money and silver." Later, the second wife was in charge, although I was not flattering, but I was also useful. As soon as the grandmother on this floor came, she was afraid that she would not be able to do anything about the deficit of money, so she sent me to this place and became a rough mother-in-law...... "I was quite stunned when I said this.

Xianglan comforted: "Mom, don't be discouraged, when Mrs. Dafang comes back, thinking of the old love, she should also arrange another errand for you." ”

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "I'm already this old, and I should go home to care for the elderly in two years, so what errand do I want?" You are different, you are born so well, and you have a pure temperament, you shouldn't follow that slut who is bad to the bone...... Alas, in fact, the cousin girl is also a pitiful, since the little father and mother turned against each other, her father's concubine has five, and the girl who has been trampled is not counted, as long as she is a little better, she will be dragged into the house, and her mother will be driven to Zhuangzi to live, she is also a poor person must have something to hate. ”

Xianglan also sighed: "She used to coax me to work for her wholeheartedly, and when she said that the eldest grandmother gave me good words, and at the same time said that I would not be able to stay in this mansion without her, and designated the eldest grandmother to take her out of the mansion to sell ......"

Mrs. Liu's eyes widened, "What did she say?" Without her, you were kicked out of the house by your grandmother? ”

Xianglan nodded.

Mrs. Liu sneered: "Who does she think she is?" Is it a wife or an old lady? Dare to say such a big thing, and I am not afraid of flashing my tongue! She doesn't have such a deep friendship with her grandmother, you can rest assured that you can stay in the Lin family and care what her cousin is! He sighed and stroked Xianglan's head, "You need to remember that the more capable people are, the more work they do, and others are happy to push the work to you." You are used to doing this, and then you can't do it anymore, but others will chew your tongue and say that you are lazy. Your child's heart is too solid, when it should be smooth in the future, you should be oily, just open a few more eyes! ”

Xianglan smiled: "It's a good thing to be real, if I don't be real, Mother Liu won't think I'm a good one, and I'm here to mention me." ”

Mrs. Liu wanted to say a few more words, but when she saw Xianglan smiling with a cute face, her heart softened and she closed her mouth again.

Although Xianglan smiled innocently on her face, she had another plan in her heart, and said secretly: "This impression of 'heartlessness' and 'stupidity' has fallen, but it is not a bad thing. Anyway, I'm not a calculating person, and I look coarse and stupid compared to those who are desperately trying to show their cleverness, but in the future, I can't let people handle it at will, and I have to think about leaving my cousin. After thinking about it carefully, I inquired with Mrs. Liu about the situation in the Lin Mansion, and I didn't mention it for the time being.
