The husband and wife came out of the upper room, and the delicate ebony painted gold entwined lotus box was held by Qiao Shan.

"The harvest is not small." Zhan Shaoting saw that she liked her so much that his eyebrows were open, and he quipped, but he didn't make fun of her, as if he was happy for her.

Wanzhen pursed her lips and smiled.

Zhan Shaoting came back from the farm, and his performance all the way, needless to say, was begging her, begging her was nothing more than Aunt Ying's business, and Wanzhen affirmed her judgment.

When he arrived at the boundary of the third room, after passing through the study, Zhan Shaoting naturally went back to the study directly, and Wanzhen didn't have time to greet him, so he hurried back to the house to see the baby, and walked straight to the upper room, Qiao Shan followed behind, and the people in the second room were curious about what good things the young lady had gotten, so they whispered to Qiao Shan, and Qiao Shan whispered: "Madame's reward, good things." ”

The next person looked at Qiao Shan holding it carefully, knowing that the things in the Dao must be worth a lot of money, it seems that the lady loves the young lady very much, and she is waiting carefully.

Wanzhen closed the door, locked in the house by herself, a few hairpin rings one by one, she wore it for a few years, especially for jewelry, it is worth a lot of money at a glance, and there are finally a few decent things, not too poor.

"Young lady, are you still on the table for dinner?"

Wanzhen carefully put away the box, went out of the hall house, embroidered chrysanthemum layer by layer to open the food box, and saw that there were seven or eight dishes inside, the dishes were exquisite, and they all had the effect of tonifying the body, Wanzhen sneered, "These things are sent to your second master, don't look like I'm not virtuous." ”

He pointed to the two jars of tonic soup, "These two things are for the two girls, Hongjian and Qiaohui, and they are waiting for the second master." ”

Xiuju personally took the two little girls and sent them to the study, Zhan Shaoting was trying to eat, he left the Wu Mansion first, and took care of Yingniang in the farm for most of the day without drinking a mouthful of water, and went back and forth for more than ten miles, the abdomen was already empty, listening to the room to send things, curious, there was a trace of pride in the bottom of his heart, speculating that Shen Wanzhen had a hard mouth, and he still wanted to reconcile with himself in his heart, it was not easy to say, since she was a little low, he would give her some face, and the husband and wife would be reconciled, and he would take the opportunity to mention Yingniang's matter of taking her back to the house.

opened the food box and saw a few dishes, all of which were great supplements, Zhan Shaoting thought more, Shen Wanzhen must be lonely in the empty room, and it was difficult to speak, so he changed his way to hint at himself, please go back.

Zhan Shaoting was thinking about it, and was proud of it, but saw Xiuju take out two more jars of soup from the food box, "This Angelica Astragalus Black Chicken Soup and White Pigeon Pot Huaishan Soup are for the two girls, and the young lady said that the two girls are working hard to wait for the second master, and they need to be supplemented like the second master." ”

Zhan Shaoting's pride, as this sentence dissipated, it turned out that she didn't deliberately fix it, but took the opportunity to sarcastically mock him, hugged him left and right, and was a little annoyed, and said coldly: "Your young lady is too virtuous, right?" ”

One of the little maids was sincere, thinking that she was praising the young lady, and hurriedly followed the flattery: "My young lady is a rare virtuous person, and if she changes others, she may not know what, and she will pass through the door and sell the original house, and the means are powerful!" The two girls have a good fate, and it is their blessing to meet our young lady, and it is also the blessing of the master. ”

This girl loves to talk, and she doesn't talk with her brain, and her temperament is straight, and she doesn't have so many curves.

The more Zhan Shaoting listened, the more he didn't like to listen, what virtuous he was, he just didn't care, he was like something she couldn't look at, and he appreciated people at will, which hurt her self-esteem.

waved off the people, Zhan Shaoting ate a few bites, and the more he looked at those dishes, the more troublesome he became, and let people serve them, and said that the young lady had rewarded the two rooms.

At night, Zhan Shaoting slept boringly, and there was no kang in the study, so the two personal maids went back to sleep, and they didn't have to be on duty all night, but they were happy.

Zhan Shaoting slept until the middle of the night, there seemed to be something in the quilt, he reached out and touched it, it was smooth, slippery, and a little cold, and Zhan Shaoting woke up suddenly

The tent is half-hidden, the moonlight is a little dim tonight, and it is the middle of the night, not too bright, Zhan Shaoting blinked, and saw his face clearly for a long time, it was through the room Qiaohui J □ J got into his bed, Qiaohui saw that he woke up, and said shyly: "The second master is awake, let the slave wait for the master." The soft body arched into Zhan Shaoting's arms.

Qiaohui was inspired by the red note, relying on her courage, regardless of her shyness, and took off. Just throw yourself into your arms and give you a hug, just waiting for the second master of Chenghuan.

Zhan Shaoting frowned, turned over and sat up, flashing Qiaohui aside, Zhan Shaoting scolded loudly, "Shameless and shameless shitty things, who did you learn from the methods of seducing men?" ”

Qiaohui was ashamed, couldn't help but be aggrieved, whimpered and cried, crying and complaining, to the effect that the second master asked for a red note body, why is he so ruthless to the slave and maid, is the slave and maid not as good as the red note hooves to attract people.

Zhan Shaoting was angry and funny, and said angrily: "What are you crying in the middle of the night?" It seems that the master bullied you. She softened her crying, thinking that the red notes were all received anyway, and there was just a girl on the left, since it was sent to the door, it was included in the bag.

He is not a man like Hui Yanagishita, in the face of women's teasing, it is inevitable that his heart will be moved, not to mention Qiaohui cried and stuck it on him, Zhan Shaoting drank wine, his nerves were excited, his body was restless, and he was in a hurry to get angry, so he grabbed her body, pressed it under him, and made a hard fuss.

Qiaohui's waist seemed to be broken, she wanted to scream and was afraid of alarming people, she whimpered and cried in pain, it was useless to beg, Zhan Shaoting didn't stop, she couldn't help but regret it, she couldn't live happily, but she was sinned, and the pain was heartbreaking, and she was in a cold sweat.

Zhan Shaoting couldn't hold it after being teased by her, so he didn't stop, and tortured Qiaohui to the point that she couldn't cry.

After a long time, Zhan Shaoting had an ancient brainstorm, and it was over, like a red note, ordering her to get out of bed immediately, without any respect.

Qiaohui couldn't say the pain, her legs were blurred with blood under her body, she shrank on the couch outside, and she stayed up until dawn, went back to the house to find a basin to fetch water, and pretended to sleep on the red note.

Zhan Shaoting couldn't sleep after this toss, stared at the carved Chengchen, and regretted it a little, if he didn't move out of the main room and get along with Shen Wanzhen, he didn't touch Shen Wanzhen, Shen Wanzhen didn't care about him, and he could still sleep cleanly.

Wanzhen smiled at the corner of her lips, slept soundly, she dreamed of gold and silver, let her take it, take it away, and live her happy life.

When she woke up in the morning, she sat for a long time, until Xiuju heard the movement in the room, came in, and saw her sitting by herself, "Master, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"I want to see the shop in the dowry." She wanted to find out how many assets she had in her hands, otherwise she wouldn't be at a loss when she was suspended by Zhan Shaoting.

"It's just right, it's not snowing today, and if it snows, the road is slippery." Xiuju said, and went out to prepare hot water.

Shen Xuanzhen replied to Mrs. Zhan and said that she would go to the temple for incense, in ancient times, women were afraid that this was the best excuse to go out, and Mrs. Zhan specially instructed to follow a few more people.

Wanzhen took Xiuju Qiaoshan and accompanied Qian Kuan and his wife, the carriage had already been prepared, she showed the shop drawings of the marriage to the coachman, and ordered to go according to the map.

"Young lady, this is probably it." The return of the car.

Wanzhen got out of the car, I don't know where it is for a while, the surrounding houses are low, there is only one main street, close to the west of the main street, there is such a similar grocery store, the façade is not big, it is very embarrassing, crooked and twisted a plaque: Xu's grocery store, the door is drooping down one shoulder, as if it can fall down at any time, worried about hitting someone.

Xiuju took out the key and unlocked it, after buying it, it has been empty, Wan Zhenqiang suppressed disappointment, walked in, black hole, noon sunshine, the light inside is still so dim, the house is disorganized, tattered piles all over the ground, and the palm-sized room is only a dozen pings.

"Young lady, go out, there is a smell of earth in this house." Qiao Shan covered her mouth.

Wanzhen also didn't bother to look at it, and turned to come out.

"Young lady, let's go to another shop to have a look, maybe it's better than this." Qiao Shan was still lucky, and Wanzhen secretly thought that the other shop was no better.

After getting into the car, the two shops were in opposite directions, and they walked around almost half of the capital before finding them in a more remote place.

Wanzhen and Xiuju got off the car to see, this shop is not small, and there is a big yard, Wanzhen looked at it, this place is empty, every household has a big courtyard, probably this is a suburb.

In front of it is a small door, with a window facing outward, a long broken wooden board, and the word tofu written in a black pen, as if tofu was originally sold here.

Walking into the yard, there is a plate of grinding in the middle of the yard, which must be used for tofu business, and there are some tofu making household goods, probably the owner's family does not do this business, and it is still useless here.

There are three main houses, which are not dilapidated, and the houses here are not worth much.

Wanzhen couldn't cry or laugh, her mother is really a talent, how to find this house, it must be a good person, it takes a lot of effort to find here, but also, the price of land in the capital is expensive, the façade is serious, and there is a lot of silver money in the second-rate area, how can the grandmother spend a lot of money to make a dowry for a concubine.

Wanzhen went into the house to see, it was similar to the countryside now, entering the door and stove, the house on both sides, facing south and a kang each, living in a row, Wanzhen thought that this was only afraid of some use, in case that day was taken off by Zhan Shaoting, living here, there is a place anyway, this idea is ridiculous, Zhan Shaoting is not able to do his own marriage, as long as Uncle Changyi and his wife live for a day, he will not be allowed to come.

When I got back to the car, the sun was already in the west, and the sunset was particularly good in this rural place. It seems that I don't have time to look at Zhuangzi today, but there will be no surprises after seeing it, so I can go there.

"The second wife is too mean to the girl, what kind of dowry is this, then make two broken houses prevaricate."

The mother-in-law is very good, even if she marries less, the concubine herself will not say anything, and will help cover it up, if the mother-in-law's family knows how to slap her face, her face will be dull, so that the mother-in-law's family will look down on her.

"What is Mrs., haven't you seen through it a long time ago, and what else is there to complain about."

"Master, the slave maid heard that the wife is looking for a home for the four girls." Qiao Shan's shrewd little eyes shone brightly, and when it came to gossip, she was extremely enthusiastic.

"Oh! What kind of people? "Wanzhen said in her heart, it's not good, most of them are concubines, like Shen Wanyu.

"I heard that since the old lady's birthday banquet, there have been several families in the capital who have come to propose marriage, and the wife has not yet made up her mind and is hesitating." This maid's ears are like a god.

Wanzhen smiled and didn't squeak.

"Why don't you ask who it is, girl?" Qiao Shan was strange, the girl was not curious.

"I don't know how many concubines it is."

"The girl is smart and can guess accurately, they are all well-known families in the capital, some already have a group of concubines in the family, and they have to marry the youngest, and some are about the same age as our masters.

Wanzhen had expected that if it weren't for this, she wouldn't be her mother-in-law.

"The old man entered Beijing after the New Year, and the sixth aunt has already given birth." The father that Wanzhen refers to, the second master Shen, will return to Beijing to report on his work when his term expires, that is, to wait for redistribution.

"If the master enters Beijing, the Shen family will move out of the Wu Mansion, after all, our family has a big mansion in the capital." Qiao Shan said.

The Shen family originally had two houses in the capital, both of which were purchased by her grandfather, and Wanzhen remembered that her father's concubines had a good show, and her mother-in-law didn't seem to be worry-free now.
