Wu Yulian's house is behind the upper room, the yard is not big, but she lives alone, the house of Wu Mansion is spacious, and the population is simple, several concubines live separately, not crowded in a courtyard, although the capital of Wu Shilang's Mansion is not big, but only he lives in this branch, but it is also peaceful.

Wu Yulian's house is not facing well, facing west, almost winter, the north wind blows in through the gap in the window lattice, a little chilly.

"This year, the new carbon has not yet been issued, and it is cold at night in the house, so I have to cover several quilts." Wu Yulian pointed to a few futons on the kang and said, her expression was a little bleak.

Wanzhen sat on the bed with her, and Wu Yulian's maid hurriedly brought a hand stove for her girl and Shen Wanzhen to cover.

Wanzhen's body is not cold when she eats wine, and her hands are cold in winter, and she warms up after a while with a small hand stove.

"What is my sister going to say?" Wanzhen watched the little maid go down to make tea and asked quietly.

"My mother-in-law wants to marry me to a merchant as a second room, and the merchant has a big wife, and I heard that it is a tigress." Wu Yulian was unhappy.

"Uncle is such a family matter, how can he give his daughter a merchant, not an official body, and no future, is it for money." Speaking of the worst, Shen Wanzhen looked at no one outside, if she was heard, it was not a joke.

"It's not just for money, it's no different from selling their daughters to small families, it's just that the selling price is high and decent.

"What are you going to do?" Shen Wanzhen knew that it was also a vain question to ask, what can Wu Yulian's lifelong self do.

"If they want to push me into the fire pit, I won't let them have a good time." Wu Yulian said fiercely, her tone and demeanor couldn't help but stir Shen Wanzhen's spirit, and the undisguised resentment in her eyes made Wanzhen shiver.

I couldn't help but worry, "My sister can't do foolish things and ruin herself like that." Wan Zhen knew that she couldn't persuade anything in a few words, but she couldn't see that if Wu Yulian was confused that day, she would ruin her life.

"Will it be good to marry into a merchant family?" Wu Yulian sneered.

Shen Xuanzhen knew that the merchants did not pay much attention to the rules, if they married the official family as a concubine, they would have to scruple about some decency, but the merchants were different, most of them had no serious rules, the big wife was fierce, and Wu Yulian's tortured days were ahead.

"Let your aunt beg your uncle, your aunt has been waiting for your uncle for many years, and there is always some affection." Wanzhen said that she didn't feel much hope, but she didn't break it for a while.

Wu Yulian snorted coldly, "My aunt has already begged, my father and mother-in-law have made it clear, the family matter has been decided, and I will be hired after the New Year." ”

Wanzhen was stunned, "So urgent." She was a little surprised.

"I'm in a hurry to exchange me for money, such a good business." Wu Yulian smiled bitterly.

Wanzhen is sad for her, and she can't help, if she has a good relationship with Zhan Shaoting, she may be able to do something, but now she can't protect herself.

The two chatted, and when it got dark, "Why did my cousin leave first, when will he pick you up, you can't go back to your mother-in-law's house alone the first time you go back to the door." Wu Yulian has been talking about her own affairs, and only now did she think of her affairs.

"Second young lady, second young lady." Qiao Shan searched all the way.

"Let the slave maid be easy to find, the second master is waiting for the young lady in the flower hall." Wanzhen's heart was relieved, and he finally didn't come back, if he insisted on staying with Aunt Ying and didn't care about anything, it would be really difficult for him to do it.

Hurriedly said goodbye to Wu Yulian, Wu Yulian reluctantly took her hand, as if she didn't say countless words, Wanzhen was afraid that she would delay for a long time and go back to the Bofu to let her mother-in-law take care of it, so she shook her fingertips hard, "My sister must tell me if she has something." She still has hidden worries about Wu Yulian, has been abused for a long time, and has a certain degree of paranoia in her personality.

Seeing Zhan Shaoting, Wanzhen said, "I'm back." "I don't just ask.

This made Zhan Shaoting a little embarrassed, if Wanzhen made trouble with him, although he was bored, but it was normal, but Wanzhen didn't say a word, he couldn't explain, so he was silent, this time he didn't go first, and when Wanzhen went along, the husband and wife saluted the elders together, and said goodbye and went back.

Out of the gate of Wu's Mansion and walked to the front of the car, Zhan Shaoting didn't go up alone regardless of Wanzhen, but stepped aside, and Wanzhen was not hypocritical, and took Qiaoshan's hand.

After going up, leaning on the wall of the car, as soon as Zhan Shaoting came up, the car moved, and Wan Zhen was ready to hold the railing next to him.

didn't look at Zhan Shaoting, leaning on the wall of the car, his head was slightly lowered, after a while, Zhan Shaoting was worried about promising Yingniang, and wanted to say that he didn't look at him if he didn't have anything to say, and opened his mouth first, "Next time you go back to your parents' house, your mother will stay for a few more days, and the sisters will gather more, and when they are all out of the pavilion and separated, it will be difficult to marry far away and want to see each other."

Wanzhen seemed to be smiling, Zhan Shaoting came back from the farm and whispered to accompany Xiaoyi, and became understanding, she could probably guess that it was nothing more than wanting to take Aunt Ying into the house, but her mother-in-law couldn't agree, so she started from herself, and she didn't give him a chance to speak.

So Wanzhen lowered her head a little, 'um', didn't answer the conversation, and was silent, and there was a faint alienation between the two.

Zhan Shaoting couldn't help but be sneering, the husband and wife slept in separate rooms, they were strangers to each other, and so far Wanzhen was still a daughter, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't say anything about Yingniang, and he felt a little miscalculated about moving out of the main room with his will, if the relationship between husband and wife was harmonious, it would be easier to say.

Wanzhen pretended to be drunk and sleepy, leaning on the wall of the car and pretending to sleep, she couldn't give Zhan Shaoting a chance to speak, if she refused, the relationship between the husband and wife would be even more stiff, she didn't think about agreeing at all, it was to add to her own blockage.

She often thinks about unhappy things for a while and doesn't think about it, why embarrass herself, unhappy for unworthy people, life is short, it's easy to live again, the ancients have a short lifespan, only thirty or fifty years, she wants to live happily.

Wanzhen's thoughts turned to the garden of Wufu, if her own kick of the ball, if it hit that bright moon-like face, don't think about it, that face must be swollen like a pig's head, she is very confident in her foot strength, but unfortunately the person hid, but he knew the current affairs, let that person be ugly, and relieve the hatred in her heart, she pursed her lips and smiled.

Zhan Shaoting's squint eyes actually kept looking at her, seeing that she was smiling at the corners of her lips in her sleep, the curved arc was very beautiful, she was a sleeping beauty, and she couldn't help but be in a trance, she was so wronged that she would wake up crying from a dream if she was like this, but she laughed.

Zhan Shaoting's outstanding appearance and family affairs are proud, most of the women around him revolve around him, trying their best to please him, that is, his wife He is dignified and steady, and it also makes the maid go to invite him to the main room again and again, the meaning is very clear, the eyes are in love with him at a glance, begging him for a trace of pity, but at that time there was Yingniang, his heart could not tolerate others at all, and he looked at nothing in his eyes, thinking about it, he felt a little guilty.

But this cousin of the Shen family is different, I heard my mother say that she married him a virtuous and sensible person, he thought that it was the same as his wife He, but it was very different from what he thought, she didn't stick to him, she was always indifferent to him, let him move out, not only did not say a word, but also sent two people to put him by his side, can be so virtuous, is she cold or, looking at her smile from the heart, it doesn't mean that she doesn't care about him, it doesn't matter to him, clearly tell him that he is not interested in him as a person, which makes him uncomfortable.

Wanzhen stared at her, and in a trance, it seemed that the ball really hit the person's face, and she was very embarrassed, and she couldn't help laughing twice.

At the same time, he woke up laughing, forgot where for a while, his body moved softly, his eyes were half closed, and he called out: "Qiaoshan." ”

Immediately opened it, there was a glass lamp in the car, glowing with a soft light, Zhan Shaoting saw her smiling innocently, forgot to look away, Wanzhen tilted her head, stunned for a moment, as if she had just remembered something, and sat down busily, and didn't look at him.

At this time, the car stopped, and the subordinate shouted under the car: "Second Master and Young Lady, please get out of the car." ”

Zhan Shaoting naturally went down first, Shen Wanzhen looked down, Qiao Shan and Qian Pozi had already rushed over from the car behind, the car was very high, she grabbed the hands of the two and fell to the ground.

Zhan Shaoting made an exception and waited for her twice, and the two entered the upper room.

Mrs. Zhan was alone in the house, and when she saw her son and daughter-in-law coming back together, the expression on her face seemed to be relieved, probably someone had already reported that the second master had gone out of the city, she thought that she was tripped by the woman, if the two of them couldn't come back together tonight, Shen Wanzhen's face was not good-looking, and her uncle's face was not good-looking, Mrs. Zhan was instantly relieved when she saw the little couple, and she couldn't help but like Shen Wanzhen a little.

The two of them bowed, and Mrs. Zhan hurriedly greeted the maid, "Help the second young lady of your family to get up and sit next to me." ”

Wanzhen walked over and sat next to Mrs. Zhan, who stared at her with her head tilted, and Wanzhen pretended to be shy and lowered her head.

"How is your mother?" Mrs. Zhan asked her sister.

"Okay, let the daughter-in-law bring a good one to her mother-in-law." Shen Wanzhen's voice is small and gentle like water, and she looks well-behaved.

"Okay, I'll take you back another day, where I grew up, and that's also my maiden home." This shortens the distance between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the same mother's family, a little closer than the two daughters-in-law.

"The daughter-in-law deliberately went to the place where her mother-in-law lived, the house was intact, the subordinates cleaned it up, and the daughter-in-law rewarded the cleaner with money before leaving, so that the good student took care of it." When Wanzhen accompanied Wu Yulian to walk all over the Wu Mansion, Wu Yulian told her the house where Mrs. Zhan lived when she was not married, and she specially went in to see the boudoir where the eldest lady of the Wu Mansion lived.

happily patted her hand and said, "It's rare that you have filial piety as a child." Then he said to his son: "You see how good a daughter-in-law your mother has married you, you must treat her well, if you are not good to your daughter-in-law, you are not filial to your mother, but she is your cousin, better than outsiders." ”

Mrs. Zhan didn't mention Aunt Ying in front of Wanzhen, in fact, someone had already returned to her son to see Aunt Ying, and her daughter-in-law didn't mind or didn't know anything at all, after all, she just came to the capital and was not too familiar, who could take this matter as an example.

Zhan Shaoting glanced at Wanzhen, who hung her head and looked supple.

Mrs. Zhan gestured to the maid, the maid held a box, and Mrs. Zhan personally handed it to Wanzhen, "This is what my mother's family accompanied me when I got married, give it to you, I'm old, and I don't like to wear new things, I look like an old goblin, you open it and take a look." ”

When Wanzhen took it, she weighed it lightly, opened it, and was still shocked, several pieces of jewelry were dazzling, and the pearl was so big that she had never seen it, which showed that Wu Fu attached great importance to her daughter.

"Do you like it?" Mrs. Zhan asked softly.

"I like it." Wanzhen raised her head, her smile both shy and joyful.

Mrs. Zhan knew that she was a concubine, and she was meager in marriage, and she must be disappointed in her heart, so she was rewarded with good things, and she was also pitiful for being alone, without parental care, although the three were the same daughter-in-law, but she was always married out of the Wu family, and she was filial to herself, and her stubborn son seemed to be sensible a lot, so he obediently accompanied her back to the door, and the daughter-in-law was much stronger than the previous daughter-in-law, and the former daughter-in-law returned to the door on three days, and the son ran away halfway, and even went to Yue's house.
