Chapter 41: One Change
In the Zhuangzi outside the city, the chickens flew and the dogs jumped, Shang Xiang walked to the stove to see if the quail soup that Aunt Ying wanted to eat was stewed, and saw Zhuangzi getting on the car and taking a few people to catch chickens in the yard.
Mrs. Qu took a few young daughters-in-law with kitchen knives, grabbed one and pressed it on the board, it was a knife, and several women boiled a large pot of hot water, and the chicken feathers were faded, and the white bleached meat was boiling to the eye, not strange, and asked a woman standing on the side who didn't move, "What are you doing with these chickens?" Before the New Year in Zhuangzi, you can eat chicken. â
This woman is the daughter-in-law of the farmer Han Copper Lock, she glanced at her, and smiled, "What do you think, is this chicken for us to eat?" â
"That's the masters of the filial piety mansion?" Shang Xiang understood, but there were still some days before the New Year.
"The girl doesn't know what to do, the Qiaohui girl in the second room of the house has a body, and the lady asks to catch ten old hens, pick the fat ones, and make up for the Qiaohui girl." The copperlock daughter-in-law saw that she didn't understand yet, and explained.
After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly covered his mouth and slapped himself in the mouth, "Look at my mouth, don't tell your master when you go back, turn around and make trouble again." â
Shang Xiang's heart sank to the bottom, this time the master is out of play, the second master's room is pregnant, the young lady is pregnant, the second master may not come in the future, the second master will have a group of children in the future, and the wife and concubine will still think of coming to this pickled place in the countryside?
Bowing her head back to the house, Aunt Ying was waiting, seeing her come in, her face was not good, and the fox asked, "What's wrong with you?" Who bullied you? â
Shang Xiang shook his head, "Then who are you crying and mourning to show me, are you dissatisfied with me, unwilling to serve my outdated aunt, and picked up a high branch?" â
Aunt Ying was depressed in her heart, looking for anger by herself, Zhan Shaoting didn't come for a day, it must be Shen Wanzhen who was pregnant and stumbled.
Shang Xiang didn't want to say it, for fear of stimulating her, seeing that she misunderstood, she had to look forward to Ai Ai, "The second room Qiaohui girl has it." â
"What's there?" Aunt Ying asked casually, and immediately reacted, "With your second master's flesh and blood?" Your second master is really capable, and his wife and concubine are pregnant together, is it the same day. "Out of resentment comes evil.
Shang Xiang didn't dare to squeak, beware of the next, Aunt Ying had a seizure, and she found that one to persuade her, sure enough, Aunt Ying grabbed a copper-plated silver-plated candlestick on the side case and smashed it to the ground, and then everything that could be caught was caught, and it was caught, and the candlestick was smashed at Shang Xiang's feet, Shang Xiang jumped up and was scared out of a cold sweat, this thing was not a joke when she smashed on her feet, the little maid at the door looked at this time differently and went back, her aunt was crazy, and she was so scared that she ran away early, Shang Xiang stayed in the house and panicked, rubbing her steps, and didn't pay attention to Aunt Ying's anger, Slipped out of the wall.
Walking to the door, he almost collided with a person, Shang Xiang was so frightened that he opened his mouth and didn't scream for a long time, Zhan Shaoting heard a lot of movement in the house, needless to say that Yingniang was crazy again, Shang Xiang forgot to open the curtain for a while, Zhan Shaoting lifted the cotton curtain himself and went in, just entered the door, and an object flew over and almost smashed on his body, so he was on guard and hurriedly dodged to the side and dodged.
"What's the wind you're doing here?" Zhan Shaoting scolded loudly.
Aunt Ying saw that it was Zhan Shaoting, tears poured out instantly, and she turned around and sat on the edge of the bed angrily, Shang Xiang listened to the silence in the room, and covered the door with the current affairs.
Zhan Shaoting bypassed a piece of porcelain fragments, frowned, and didn't coax her, just sat on a chair by the window, the horse ran a little hot, his mouth was dry, and when he saw that the table was empty, there was no teapot and tea bowl, and they all fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, remembering the words of his eldest brother: Your aunt should be in charge.
"What are you making a fuss about?" I didn't feel a little cold.
Aunt Ying saw that Zhan Shaoting was not as sad as in the past, and came up to coax her, she was even more aggrieved, and said angrily: "Master still cares if I live or die, who am I?" "Aunt Ying has always spoken with him like a serious couple, you and I say, usually when it is good, Zhan Shaoting listens to it, but at this time, he is a little disgusted, even his wife Shen did not speak in this tone, let alone his ex-wife, he respects him in everything and treats him as his husband.
"You're not a person, why do you live in the Shen family's Zhuangzi?" Zhan Shaoting had the heart to poke her sharpness.
Aunt Ying listened to the second master's tone, but she thought about it, now this man has a wife and concubines and children, and he cooled himself aside, thinking that he was in the way, thinking that he would end up like this, she couldn't help crying, crying and complaining, "The second master is now accompanied by a beautiful wife and concubine, and it is not uncommon for the slave family, what did the second master say at the beginning, have you forgotten everything?" The second master swore when he was good with me, the slave family is also the daughter of a good family, regardless of the face of the girl's family, followed the second master without a name and no point, it was the slave family's infatuation, and now the second master has changed his mind, I still have the face to live? It's better to be dead and clean. â
The more he talked, the more sad he became, he suddenly stood up, and saw a pair of scissors lying in a sewing basket on the kang at a glance, quickly grabbed it in his hand, held it tightly, and was about to stab it in the neck, Zhan Shaoting watched her get up, staring at the scissors in the needlework basket, he was on guard, he had already stood up, approached her, and saw that the moment she raised the scissors, an arrow rushed up, grabbed her hand, snatched the scissors in her hand, fell to the ground, and said angrily: "What are you doing well, looking for death and life?" â
"The second master now has a wife and a room, and even has children, so there is still Yingniang in his heart?" Say it, cry loudly, this time she really has the mind to die, it's not a temporary fake show.
Zhan Shaoting was even frightened, stood upright, and didn't coax her, he couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart, seeing Aunt Ying crying so badly, she didn't have the docile and lovely person she used to be, she was like an ignorant shrew in the countryside, and she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.
Aunt Ying cried fiercely, Zhan Shaoting couldn't let go of her after all, so she stepped forward and sat down next to her, "What are you making trouble?" Is it that you know that Dao Qiaohui has it, and you feel uncomfortable? â
Zhan Shaoting's words confirmed that Qiaohui was pregnant, she originally had a glimmer of hope that the next person made a mistake, but at this moment, all thoughts were lost, crying so much that her liver and intestines were broken, "The second master forgot the slave, and the slave said that the second master would never come, it turned out that he was fighting with the whole house, and the slave family was infatuated, looking forward to the second master every day, looking forward to the stars and the moon." â
Zhan Shaoting heard her crying, and couldn't help but soften, and hugged her to coax, "How can I be with other women, Qiaohui is rewarded by my mother, and there are only one or two in total, just for the occasion, who knew that she was pregnant." â
"I didn't see what the second master said, now that the second master has been charmed by the Shen family, he has moved back to the upper room, and he is still fooling me, the second master is eager to stay with her, so he still cares about me?"
Aunt Ying sobbed and cried while drilling into Zhan Shaoting's arms, rubbing Zhan Shaoting so much that he lost his temper and itched, and his words were not tough, "Don't think about it, I stay in the study every day, how have I ever been to the upper room?" The two of us have nothing to do with each other, you can live here with peace of mind, and one day I will take you back to your home with beautiful scenery. â
Aunt Ying raised her teary eyes, pitiful, "Husband can't break his word." Arching towards Zhan Shaoting, his hand gently stimulated Zhan Shaoting's body through his clothes. Under the matter, Zhan Shaoting held back the evil fire, pressed her under him violently, and peeled her. Naked clothes, straight in, straight to the heart of the flower, Aunt Ying has not been happy for a long time, and she has long been unable to live in peace, if the person who has been in drought for a long time does not care about shame at all, and shouts higher than one another.
Zhan Shaoting finally poured out in her jâĄj, crawled down from her, Aunt Ying was insatiable, and after Zhan Shaoting breathed a sigh of relief, she climbed up naked and teased him, Zhan Shaoting asked her again for the second time.
Stopped, the two of them exchanged shares and lay down, Aunt Ying curled up in Zhan Shaoting's arms like a cat, and whispered, "Husband, don't forget the old man if you have a new person." â
Zhan Shaoting put his hand on Aunt Ying's smooth and white bare buttocks, half confused, and said in a vague voice, "Aren't I here?" It also brings you the good things of the new year....... â
Let's say, the person fell asleep, but Aunt Ying opened her eyes widely, it was dusk at this moment, the room was dimly lit, and it was a mess in the blur, her heart ached, and the years were fleeting, even if she gave up her face, she could get this man to look back a few times.
"The second master is here." The little girl was surprised that the second master had gone to the room so late.
Zhan Shaoting came in from outside, Shen Wanzhen sat on the kang with a small face, only owing her body, and said lightly, "The second master is back." Looking at his face, his face was full of jâĄj, and the man was proud after being satisfied, needless to say, he would definitely go to Aunt Ying.
Zhan Shaoting waved his hand, and the people under the house slipped out of the house.
After embroidering chrysanthemum, she glanced at her master with worried eyes, Shen Xuanzhen's eyes signaled that she was fine, and Xiuju gently closed the lattice door.
"Why did I hear rumors that you have a body?" Zhan Shaoting's tone was mocking, with a hint of contempt, and he walked straight to the rose chair and sat down.
Wanzhen listened but didn't lower her head, knowing that the Dao must be the Yingniang's complaint, and said lightly: "Is there a second master who still doesn't know the Dao, and still uses it to ask me?" â
Zhan Shaoting was so choked that he couldn't speak, "The second master came to me to ask this?" Do you want to take me in the wrong place and sink me in the pond? No matter what, you and I can't afford to lose this person. â
Wanzhen's words made Zhan Shaoting feel bored, originally Aunt Ying made trouble with him, saying that Shen was pregnant, he was disgusted, I don't know what Shen meant, deliberately let out the wind and said that she was pregnant, what do you want to do? coerced him to move back to the upper room, the purpose of his coming was to tell her that if he didn't agree to take Yingniang back to the house, he wouldn't agree to move back to the upper house, the husband and wife are in name only, and it's always you Shen Wanzhen who suffers.
But seeing that Shen's attitude didn't look like he had any intentions, he said with a heavy face: "Didn't you release the wind?" You and I are nominally husband and wife, you eat and drink well, and the position of the mother of the second house is occupied, why not be satisfied? â
Shen Wanzhen sneered, but didn't let him, grabbed the tea cup on the kang table, took a sip of warm flower tea, and said lightly, "What's wrong?" The position of the young lady of Bofu, the concubine is very satisfied, why does the princess think there is anything wrong? â
Wanzhen guessed that it must be the maid who went back to tell Aunt Ying, Aunt Ying's heart was unbalanced, noisy, and the Bofu really had rules, the wife of the main house was pregnant, and a nameless concubine was not complimented.
Zhan Shaoting saw that her demeanor was leisurely, it really didn't look like she was looking for trouble, she couldn't help but think that Yingniang must be suspicious, making assumptions out of thin air, slandering the Shen family, Shen Wanzhen never rushed to herself, it didn't seem like she had any thoughts, she thought too much and made a lot of trouble.
When I sat down again, I didn't feel comfortable, so I stood up and regained some face, "You are the mother of the second house, restrain the subordinates, don't chew the root of your tongue all day long." â
Shen Wanzhen pretended not to understand, and deliberately asked, "What did you hear?" It's still the servant woman and the maid's mouth that is broken, and the master in the house is provoked. â
Zhan Shaoting became more and more embarrassed, and he couldn't say it clearly, he complained about Yingniang in his heart, and looked up to Shen Wanzhen a few points, Shen is not such an eventful woman, saving trouble and not letting men worry about it, better than Aunt Ying, her husband snubbed her, and she didn't make trouble, if she was called Yingniang, she didn't know how to make trouble, and gradually understood that her mother's vision was right, and she changed others, and she really took a lot of brains, but at the same time, a woman's clear attitude and position were dispensable, and his man's self-esteem was a little frustrated.
"It's rare for Madame to be so generous." But the tone is not good.
Wanzhen listened to such sour words, and became angry, "What does the husband want to be a concubine, looking for death and life, and making the house restless, so that the husband is satisfied?" â
"Good." Zhan Shaoting was noncommittal and said perfunctorily.
"The concubine's glory and wealth are due to her husband, and the concubine should be grateful to her husband even if she thinks of this, right? What do you want to do with a concubine? The husband said it clearly. â
Shen Wanzhen's sarcastic words made Zhan Shaoting unable to answer, after all, he didn't want her, and asked her to do something, this is already rare, that is, Yingniang's gentle temperament, she didn't go for a few days, she was no different from a shrew, Shen Wanzhen's upbringing was really extraordinary, he had nothing to say, he couldn't say that she should be less involved with Yingniang, but Shen Wanzhen didn't even go out of the gate of Bobo's mansion, and she didn't take the initiative to find Yingniang, it was Yingniang who found fault, and she was afraid to say the truth, so she let Shen Wanzhen laugh.
Zhan Shaoting looked at her carefully, the orange light made her cheeks bright and beautiful, her eyes flashed, she was smart and could speak, her heart couldn't help but throb, and she didn't think what it would be like to be used by such a beauty at a moment, and threw her heart that was tired of her out of the clouds.
"It's late, it's time for the master to rest, it's okay, the concubine is also tired, so I won't send the master." Let's say, Shen Wanzhen got off the kang, pulled the embroidered shoes and opened the curtain by himself and went to the inner room, and cooled him in the hall, Zhan Shaoting was bored, got up and pushed the door out, Xiuju and Qiaoshan stood at the door, watched him come out, and "Congratulations to the master." â
Zhan Shaoting walked away.
Xiuju and Qiaoshan saw that the second master was gone, and hurriedly went inside, Shen Wanzhen sat in front of the dresser, pulled out the hairpin between her hair, and removed the hairpin ring.
"Slave and maid come." Xiuju hurriedly stepped forward and took the hairpin in Wanzhen's hand.
"The second master was a little sneering when he left, and the master was slow to treat the second master." Xiuju put the hairpin ring into the box and asked by looking at her face.
Wanzhen snorted coldly, this kind of person really has nothing to say, obviously she is snubbing her wife, engaging in three twists and four outside, and she still came to send her, no matter how good her sex is, she can't pretend to be virtuous.
"Master, when the slave and maid saw the second master leaving, her face was not good-looking, what was she for?" Xiuju is also worried.
"What else could it be? He heard in his heart that I was pregnant, and if he didn't follow him, he would send me. "Wanzhen is extremely bored, this is like a man with responsibility.
But Qiao Shan was uncontrollable, and said angrily: "What is her identity? Dare to take care of the affairs of the master mother, and don't weigh it, do you have that qualification? â
"The second master is really confused, and he spoils a concubine to be lawless." Xiuju was also aggrieved, and when she saw that her master's face was cold, she stopped talking.
At this time, Mrs. Qian came in, and when she heard this, she answered: "Aunt Ying will not give up with the idea of entering the house." â
"Has Qiaohui settled there?" Wanzhen asked Mrs. Qian.
"The young lady is really kind-hearted, and I was still thinking about her at this time, so I cleaned up the east side courtyard and let her move over according to the young lady's wishes."
"That's good, tell her that she doesn't have to come up to say goodbye, and other courtesies are waived, and she will come back to me if she has something."
Lady said, is that virtuous? Qiaohui is pregnant, mother-in-law is a big thing, there are heirs in both rooms, the uncle has a son and two daughters, the third master also gave birth to a son, and a concubine, only the second room has no children, and the mother-in-law is worried about the second son without a queen, this time it's okay, the heart is put in the stomach, hindering the mother-in-law's face, I always have to pretend, and if Qiaohui's fetus has a bad pool, Zhan Shaoting will have something to say, and he will be charged with poisoning a woman.
"Mrs. sent two mothers-in-law to call Miss Qiaohui, saying that she would return to Mrs. Wang's house after giving birth, Mrs. said that the young lady and Miss Qiaohui had never given birth, I was afraid that some things would not be understood, and these two mothers-in-law had waited for several masters to give birth." Mrs. Qian's words were as tactful as possible, for fear that the young lady would think too much and add to the blockage herself.
She said in her heart, it is clear that her mother-in-law is in her heart, she values Qiaohui's child, and secretly she has the intention of beware of herself, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not mother and daughter, and she is separated by her belly and heart.
"That's good, what will be saved, we can't tell." Wanzhen punned, what can't be said, is it a Qiaohui child who can't say it if something happens, or a waiting pregnant woman can't say it clearly, several people think about it in their hearts.
As soon as Zhan Shaoting left, Yingniang sat on the kang, she didn't dare to have a seizure with Zhan Shaoting, for fear that Zhan Shaoting's temper would come up, so he would throw her here and ignore her.
Shang Xiang saw that the master's face was not good, his eyes were dull, his eyes didn't move for a long time, he knew that he was sick, and said tentatively: "If the master wants to go back to the house, it's not that there is no way." â
Aunt Ying was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Tell me, what is the idea?" â
"The master thinks, the second master is not as good as the aunt, if the aunt has it, the second master will only be better, a room is pregnant, the lady is so important, if the aunt has, the lady can not agree to take it back to the house
Ying Niang listened, and was even more deflated, "But who made me unblessed, there is no movement in my stomach at all now, and I have been with the second master for a few years, but I can't conceive, I can use any method, and my life should be like this." â
"The master didn't come this month...... menstrual affairs." Shang Xiang said cautiously, half-swallowing, half-spitting.
"I didn't come, it doesn't mean that I have it, I didn't react at all, I think I can't sleep for a while, and the disorder is not accurate." Yingniang was depressed, couldn't lift her spirits, and knew in her heart that she was not pregnant, and it had only been a day or two.
Shang Xiang's eyes rolled, and she remembered an idea, "It's better for my aunt to pretend to be pregnant, and Mrs. will promise my aunt to go back to the house, Mrs. doesn't want to see her aunt, but she can't ignore the heirs of the Zhan family. â
Ying Niang listened, and thought about it, this is a method, and there is no other better way at present, so she changed her mind again, "But if you can't give birth to a child by then, how can you explain to the second master?" â
"My aunt is smart and confused for a while, so I just find an excuse to say that Lang Zhong misdiagnosed, or simply said that it was lost, and it is difficult to get my aunt out of the house."
Aunt Ying went through this idea a few times in her belly, and she was a little moved by her, hesitating in case she put her face there, Zhan Shaoting would also be angry, not to mention that Shen Wanzhen had a hard time, Shen Wanzhen couldn't be underestimated, it couldn't be fake, and she would make a mistake sooner or later.
Shang Xiang is here enough, this suburban countryside, food and accommodation can not be compared with Bofu, all day long to see are vulgar peasant women, and there is nothing to say, as soon as it gets dark, the cat is in the house, dare not go out, afraid of wild beasts and villains, so he tried his best to encourage Aunt Ying, "If the aunt doesn't want to leave now, there are more and more women in the second master, and she is distracted, and her mind is limited in her mother's mind, and after a long time, how can her aunt be compared with the women in the Bofu in this rural place, the women in the Bofu are pampered, and the ginseng bird's nest is eaten and dressed well all day long, My aunt is in this pickled place, it has been a long time, the flesh is rough, she is old early, and she is still counting on the second master's favor, but I am afraid that the second master has already found a new love. â
Shang Xiang's words, Aunt Ying seemed to see that it was her own tomorrow, and she couldn't help but be afraid, if it was like what she said, her life would be over, and she would never come out.
Gritted his teeth and decided, "It's up to you." â
I couldn't think that I was pregnant, Mrs. Zhan was not a fool, so I listened to her, and the two closed the door and discussed in the house.
On the second day, Shang Xiang went to the town a few miles away from Zhuangzi to find a Jianghu Langzhong named Hu Er, promised silver, and asked him what he thought, this Hu Er specializes in serving the pit and abducting and deceiving, not taking the right road, and specially giving the woman in the courtyard of the deep house a scandal and not wanting to publicize it, and privately getting the side medicine to beat the fetus down, and there is also the perennial infertile wife, looking for him to come up with ideas, he got the side medicine, there is a real cure, pregnant, listen to Shang Xiang to ask for ideas, click the little eyes, "This thing is not difficult, I will prescribe a pair of medicine, eat it according to what I say, and keep the doctor to see, all mistaken for joy, It's just that this medicine can't be taken often, and if you often eat women's menstrual blood regurgitation, it will be messy, and it will be difficult to really get pregnant. â
When Shang Xiang heard this, he was very happy, "It's okay to take care of it for a while, you don't need to eat it often, but if you say it's good, you can't let people see that it's cheating." â
"Don't worry, this girl, no one can see that my medicine is fake." Hu Er was confident, "But the money has to be added more, and it is not easy for me to use this medicine." â
Shang Xiang knew that he wanted to take the opportunity to open his mouth, but he didn't dare to be ambiguous, so he immediately agreed.
As soon as she walked on her front foot, Hu Er squinted and thought, there was something he didn't dare to tell her.
