Back in the second room, Feng'er stood outside and looked inside, Shen Wanzhen knew who was inside, and she didn't need the maid to lift the curtain to go in.

Zhan Shaoting sat on the chair, watched her come back, and said coldly: "Where did you go?" ”

Seeing that her face was red and bright, and she smelled a smell of wine, she was displeased, "A woman's family, running out all day long, not afraid of people's jokes." ”

Shen Wanzhen took off her cotton clothes from Xiuju and Qiaoshan, walked to the kang by herself, and didn't wait for the maid to wait, she kicked off her embroidered shoes and climbed onto the kang.

Feng'er took the hot tea, and Shen Wanzhen drank it before she spoke, "The second master is still afraid of people's jokes, is there less jokes?" It's not bad for me. ”

As the saying goes, the wealth is generous, in the past, the eyebrows were low, and I didn't dare to speak loudly, but with the strength of the wine, I had a seizure, and my heart said: 50,000 taels, I can't be used for a lifetime, even if you divorce me immediately, I can live a happy life, like suffering from this bird in your home.

Thinking like this, as soon as I relaxed, my expression couldn't help but come out, and I grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the kang table and snorted them.

Zhan Shaoting looked at her, frowned secretly, and asked, "The Zhuangzi you married was sold?" ”

"Sold."

Shen Wanzhen drank the wine, her heart was hot, and she drank hot tea again, she broke out in a hot sweat, her face turned red, and she pointed to the teapot, "Change me a pot of herbal tea, it's weirdly hot, I don't quench my thirst when I drink it, and the more I drink, the hotter it gets." ”

Feng'er saw that the master had drunk too much, so she didn't dare to say more, so she carried the teapot down.

Zhan Shaoting saw that her hibiscus face was as bright as a peach and plum, her eyes were bright, and she was nervous, and she couldn't seriously deal with a drunk person, so she remembered to ask, "What price did it sell?" ”

Shen Wanzhen was on her head, and she smiled, "You can't guess it, it was sold for 50,000 taels of silver." Shen Wanzhen was quite proud.

"Fifty thousand taels." Zhan Shaoting was a little unconvinced.

"Ask them." Shen Wanzhen pointed to embroidered chrysanthemums and a few maids.

Seeing that the maids and mothers-in-law were all elated, with red faces and glowing eyes, Zhan Shaoting believed, "Where is your Zhuangzi?" ”

Since the couple got married, they rarely talked, Zhan Shaoting didn't know how many dowries Shen Wanzhen had, and today he still went to his mother to ask for peace, and his mother said, "Your daughter-in-law went to the suburbs of Beijing and someone wanted to buy a dowry Zhuangzi." Only then did he realize that husband and wife were so strange to each other, Zhan Shaoting had a trace of curiosity about Shen Wanzhen.

"Xishan, twenty miles out of the city."

Zhan Shaoting pondered for a moment, "What kind of Zhuangzi is there, you actually sold it for 50,000 taels, it's really a miracle." Zhan Shaoting was curious for a while, and he didn't mean anything else.

Shen Wanzhen thought, this guy is not good, it is not good, but it is a little good, and I don't care about my daughter-in-law's marriage.

Zhan Shaoting's noble son, he has no concept of money, he was curious to ask for a while, so he didn't ask deeply, and changed the topic, "Aunt Ying's father and mother now know that they are wrong, and they will go back in two days, you and I will have a good life in the future, and when we give birth to a child, you can choose one to raise." ”

Zhan Shaoting thought that her husband had said this, even if it was not rare, he should be content, unexpectedly, Shen Wanzhen pressed down a sip of tea and said lightly, "Your concubine will raise it by herself, just don't be tired of being charged with it." ”

Zhan Shaoting remembered that Shangxiang was blocking himself at the gate at noon, saying that Yingniang was angry that two meals were useless, saying that the house was simple, and the things were not used, and he begged the second master to call the shots, and when he came back, the important things fell, and he had to rush out to go out after taking it, so he didn't have time to ask more, and said perfunctorily that he would wait for the time to tell her housewife that when he returned to the house in the evening, he went to his mother's place to ask An to come back, thinking of this, he came to Shen Wanzhen's room, and caught up with Shen Wanzhen's absence.

"There is one thing I almost forgot, Aunt Ying's house is simple, see if you can change it, Aunt Ying loves to be clean, whether the furniture in the house is replaced with a new one."

Shen Wanzhen squinted at him, and said in her heart, I said that the weasel worships the chicken, and it is not good, but it is better to seek justice for the tip of your heart.

So, he said lukewarmly: "I think the house is not good, she thinks it's good, I'm good in the room, she is in the picture, otherwise I will move to her place tomorrow, she will move to my house, and the husband can make it?" ”

"I don't think things are good, it's not new, antique calligraphy and paintings, the older it is, the more valuable it is, it's really a village girl, I haven't seen anything."

Shen Wanzhen said a little meanly, and she knew that Aunt Lu Daoying was not troublesome, and as soon as she entered the mansion, she adjusted her mind and lowered her tongue in front of Zhan Shaoting.

Zhan Shaoting saw his wife's contemptuous attitude, and obviously looked down on her, thinking that this Aunt Ying was really slapping her face, and she was disgraced, and her husband was sluggish, and she was blocked by a few words, and she didn't have much to say.

So he sneered, "You are the mother of a house, think carefully about everything, so as not to be wronged by the concubine's room, and you don't dare to say it." ”

Shen Wanzhen sneered, "I don't dare to say this, I will sue my husband, I don't dare to say it, it is the concubine who does not dare to snub your concubine." ”

Shen Wanzhen saw that Zhan Shaoting's face was dark, so she lowered her eyelids, pretended to be aggrieved, and her tone softened, "Isn't the concubine telling the truth?" The concubine in the second room is now living, and the east side courtyard is given to Qiaohui to live, and the concubine thinks that she is both pregnant, and I am not worried about Qiaohui's personality, but Aunt Ying is not jealous, and the concubine wants to be separated, so let her have a yard with the red note, otherwise the east and west wings of the west side courtyard will be lived in with her, and the rest will be lived in by the red note, and when Aunt Ying enters the position, another arrangement will be made. ”

Seeing that Zhan Shaoting's face softened, he said again: "Otherwise, I will let Qiaohui move out, and Aunt Ying will live in the East Side Courtyard." ”

Zhan Shaoting was originally dissatisfied, and listened to her words, only saying that she was hardworking, thinking that Aunt Ying was full of vinegar, and it was really inappropriate to have a yard with Qiaohui, so let Qiaohui move out, and her mother couldn't say it, so she said: "Don't toss, just live first, it's very appropriate for you to arrange it like this." ”

Two days later is the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Zhan Mansion is busy, the big kitchen drawer after drawer steamed buns, frozen in the vat, to be eaten and put on the stove to heat a hot, as soft as the new pot, save a lot of things under the festival, a row of a few large pots but boiled meat, stewed pig's trotters, stewed fat chicken and duck, there are many people in the house, the kitchen is not manpowered, some things are made first, and it is not bad in winter.

Aunt Ying has been on fire these days, her mouth is full of bubbles, her father and mother see that her matter is settled, and seeing that the New Year is over, she plans to go back, and before leaving, she went into the house to see her, and returned to her mother, Shen Wanzhen, Shen Wanzhen is good at talking, and let people come over and say, "Miss Ying's father and mother came into the house to talk, and stayed for lunch and left." ”

Aunt Ying's father and mother led her into the house, went to Aunt Ying's house, when the mother's heart was careful, looked carefully inside and outside the house, and couldn't help but feel sad, "Girl, now that you are older, you have an idea, things have come to this point, I won't say anything, just look at the heart of the uncomfortable, you live in the house with the window facing east, the sun is basking in the summer, the wind is blowing in the winter, the spring and autumn are neither hot nor cold, there is no sun, how can there be a good home?" The family is not in poverty, and the main house is living in the Qingtang Washhouse, and two or three maids are calling, and they have been aggrieved for a while. ”

After all, her father understood better than her mother, and stopped her mother-in-law's nagging, "What are you doing with this?" Girl, let's go, you have to pay attention to your body, you really can't live in this house, just go back to your parents' house, and if you have a bite to eat, you won't be hungry. ”

Aunt Ying tearfully agreed, leaving her father and mother to eat and leave, and instructed Shang Xiang, "You go to the big kitchen, tell me to add a few dishes, and say that there are guests in my house." ”

Shang Xiang walked to the big kitchen, and when he looked at the door, it was very busy inside, the kitchen manager was Han Gui's family, who was shouting and looking at the pot, Shang Xiang smelled the fragrance and hit his nose, and the worms in his stomach hooked out.

Walking past Han Gui's side, he called carefully, "Aunt Han." That Han Guijia was staring at a few cauldrons, and there was steaming in those cauldrons, and when she heard someone call her, she looked sideways and saw that it was Shang Xiang, and her face was cold, and she said indifferently, "It turned out to be Miss Shang Xiang, not waiting for your aunt in the house, what is the matter with this pickled place?" ”

Shang Xiang saw that she didn't want to take care of it, her master was now a man with her tail between her legs, what confidence did she have, and she whispered to accompany her carefully, "Auntie, my aunt's father and mother stayed to eat, and my aunt asked me to tell me to add a few dishes." ”

"Oh, who am I? It turned out to be your master's father, and now she wants to go back by herself? ”

Shang Xiang heard the ridicule in her words, and she didn't dare to make a temperament, so she lowered her posture, "Auntie, I don't dare to make trouble for my aunt if I have nothing to do, and I beg my aunt to take care of one or two." ”

"Each room has its own rules, if they are like you, how can they be busy?" Han Gui's family does not sell Aunt Ying's face,

The serious masters of the Han family's mansion can't wait, and they are still willing to take care of a person who can't even get on the stage and even loses his aunt's position.

At this time, a crisp voice came from behind, "Aunt Han, Miss Qiao said that her hands and feet have been cold for the past two days, and she wants a mutton pot and a vegetarian soybean sprout for lunch." ”

The Han family immediately put on a smiling face, "Okay, don't worry, girl, make sure you don't miss something, the girl comes in and is walking warmly." ”

"No, Miss Qiao is still waiting for me." With that, the maid walked away happily.

As soon as I walked to the door, I remembered something again, and turned around and instructed, "Miss Qiao said, put less mutton, that thing is weird, put more green vegetables, and ask for green leafy vegetables." ”

"Zhilu said, don't worry, girl, the old slave knows it." The Han family smiled.

Madame and the second young lady both had something to say, telling the kitchen that Miss Qiaohui was eating tightly, and the Han family did not dare to slack off.

Seeing that the other cooks were busy, he personally moved a pot stove that was stewing chicken and busily opened it.

Shang Xiang stood there and said angrily: "Auntie doesn't say that she can't be busy, there is no pot stove, how can Miss Qiaohui be able to eat, but my aunt's can't?" ”

The Han family's head didn't reply, "Miss Qiao was ordered by Mrs. and the second young lady, everything is close to Miss Qiao, who made the piece of meat in Miss Qiao's stomach expensive." ”

"Is she the only one who is pregnant with the second master's species, isn't my aunt pregnant?" Shang Xiang has to argue.

"I didn't say that, the girl said it." The Han family pouted.

Shang Xiang had to turn around and walk out of the big kitchen, and went back angrily.

Aunt Ying saw that her expression was wrong, and she didn't dare to ask in front of her father, so she called her outside under the porch behind her father's back and asked what was going on, Shang Xiang added oil and vinegar to tell the matter, Aunt Ying was so angry that her eyes were dizzy, and she weighed it, the Han family's ordinary flattered the owners of several houses well, and she was a celebrity in the eyes of the master, and she didn't dare to come out to find it.

At noon, the big kitchen brought the food, not only the dishes were not much, but they were not as exquisite as in the past, Aunt Ying couldn't help but ask the mother-in-law who delivered the food, "Why are the dishes here all vegetarian, not even a little meaty." ”

When the mother-in-law came, the Han family specially instructed her, and she had already prepared, and said with a smile: "This Ying girl doesn't know what to do, the old lady said that when the New Year comes, it's not good to eat too much fish and meat, eat some vegetarian, and eat it well for the New Year with an empty stomach." ”

In fact, the dishes of the big kitchen for the master of the house have not been reduced, but the inconsequential people cut corners in their meals, and the kitchen is not busy enough for the New Year.

Aunt Ying had no choice but to send her father and mother to eat hastily, her father and mother were not tasteful, and they did not move a few chopsticks, looking at her daughter's eyes with pity and distress.

After dinner, Aunt Ying's father and mother were going back, and Aunt Ying ordered Shang Xiang to go back to the young lady and said to send her father and mother a ride.

Shang Xiang went to the upper room, the upper room was quiet, as soon as she entered, Xiuju stood at the door of the inner room and waved her hand, signaling that the young lady was resting, leading her to the eaves of the porch outside the door, and asked with a cold face: "What is the matter with your master?" ”

Shang Xiang laughed, "If you have something to worry about, my sister, my master's father and mother are going back today, and I want to give them a ride." ”

"I said that the girl should persuade your master to save some trouble, yesterday the second master came to complain, saying that the young lady was mistreated, so what? Could it be that the second master turned his face to her as a concubine, and the young lady turned his face, the matter of the second room was not to listen to the young lady, and this time he was making trouble out of the house, even if he was so willing to go out of the house, he shouldn't have come in at the beginning, he was reluctant to let his father and mother, he should have taken it back, the young lady was busy under the festival, and just rested, the one who dared to speak out, favored her to do a lot of things. ”

Aunt Xiu Ju Qiying stumbled the master in front of the second master, and she had the heart to reprimand her, Shang Xiang listened to her words, and knew that the young lady who complained about the second master yesterday knew that the young lady knew that she was a husband and wife, and if she didn't stay overnight, her master was stupid, and she didn't fall behind, and it made people squeeze out.

I pursed my lips and didn't dare to speak, walked back, and went back to Aunt Ying in 1510.

Aunt Ying held back her sadness and told her father to be careful on the road, her daughter couldn't be filial piety in front of her knees, and she couldn't send it, her father sighed: "Son! You don't have to send it, Dad knows that you have become someone else's concubine, and you can't help yourself, and you can't get out of the house easily. ”

Aunt Ying saw that her father understood in her heart, and became more and more sad, she didn't dare to cry in front of her father, and her father and mother left in tears.

After her father and mother left, Aunt Ying lay on the couch and cried, and Shang Spice couldn't persuade her, so she hid out of the house and went to the next place to eat.

Aunt Ying cried once, sat up, lowered her head and thought, how could she not be reconciled, Zhan Shaoting had not come over for the past few days, and she was a little cold.

Mrs. Han in the big kitchen made the dishes that Qiaohui wanted, and she personally took someone to send them over, learned what Shangxiang said, and added some words, Qiaohui didn't say anything in person, and when Mrs. Han left, her maid Ling'er said angrily: "Aunt Ying just returned home, and she fought with the master, if she gave birth to a man, she might not be arrogant." ”

"Boy?" Qiao Hui sneered.

There is a table of things in Shen Wanzhen's house, which are all taken back to the Shen family under the festival, looking at the big pile, but in fact, there are no serious things, Shen Wanzhen is still in exchange with her mother, and she has prepared a lot for Wu Yulian alone.

Aunt Ying waited for Zhan Shaoting not to come, she had the intention to hook up, and the concubine did not have the support of the master, and even the subordinates were bullied.

As soon as it was dark, Aunt Ying dressed up, carefully picked out a piece of clothes that Zhan Shaoting liked and put them on, and asked Shang Xiang to go to the study to invite the second master over, Shang Xiang was a little hesitant, afraid that the second master would not come, "Auntie, in case the second master doesn't come...... "The following words are not said, if the second master doesn't come, he will be embarrassed again, and it will be even more funny.

Aunt Ying thought about it, took out a half-cut hosta, Shang Xiang took it, saw that the workmanship was exquisite, moist and smooth, and asked, "Auntie, what is the reason for this hairpin?" "Aunt Ying won't take a folded hairpin for no reason.

"This is the first time I have met with your second master, he plucked it from his head, folded it in half, half of it was handed to me, and half of it was in his hand.

Shang Xiang came to the study with a hairpin in her hand, Qiu Shuang was going out with water, and when she saw it, she took the initiative to talk, "Sister Shang Xiang is here to find the second master?" ”

Shang Xiang pouted to Linunu, "Is the second master inside?" Our one told me to find it. ”

Qiushuang understood, "Yes, the second master just came back, no, he is washing his face with water." ”

Shang Xiang asked: "What are you busy with the second master these days, I haven't seen the shadow of the second master." ”

Qiushuang thought to herself, the second master was not very happy since he came back from the young lady's room, but he said, "This is not the second time, the second master has come to the room of the young lady to discuss things." ”

Shang Xiang saw that there was no one left and right, so he grabbed Qiushuang and asked quietly, "Do the second master and the young lady live together?" I heard that there is no round house so far? ”

Qiu Shuang's eyes were shabu, and secretly Shang Xiang couldn't see her expression, and there was a sneer at the corner of Qiu Shuang's mouth, "The matter of the two mouths, outsiders don't know, but the second master always goes to the room to find the young lady at night." ”

Shang Xiang secretly thought, the second master kept swearing to my aunt that he didn't go to the same place with the young lady, so I said that the man could hold on, and put the beautiful wife in the room without moving a finger.

The two talked, Shang Xiang went in, Zhan Shaoting was crooked on the couch, and saw her come in, "How is your aunt?" ”

"My aunt is not in a good mood, I can't see the second master, my aunt said that the second master is angry with her, and she is sad or something, and she wants to accompany her husband, let the slave stop her, and now my aunt has a body, and she is not easy to get tired."

Zhan Shaoting couldn't let go after all, "You go back and tell her, when you are busy for these two days, I will go over to see her." ”

Shang Xiang asked the master not to move, so he took out the half of the hairpin from his sleeve, "My aunt was in a daze with this hairpin all day long, and the slave asked before she said that it was given by the master back then." ”

Zhan Shaoting recognized it at a glance, was silent, softened his heart, and stood up, "Let's go, watch your aunt go." ”

Shang Xiang carried the sheep's horn wind lantern in front, Zhan Shaoting in the back, and came to the west side courtyard.

When the girl with the red note saw it, she turned around and greeted the master, "Girl, look at the second master going to the west wing." ”

The red note added a hole in the window paper, and looked out, sure enough, Shang Xiang was in front and Zhan Shaoting was in the back.

"This must be the fox hooking up with the master, you didn't see Shang Xiang leading the way in front." The red note straightened up, disdainful, and a little angry on the outside.

"The second master still spoils Aunt Ying, and if it was like that that day, he still went to her house." The maid Xiaozhao said.

"She is pregnant and can't wait for the second master, and she is not a kind-hearted person if she occupies the master." The red note was a little angry.

Aunt Ying heard the sound of the door, heard the sound of light and heavy footsteps, and knew that Zhan Shaoting was here and asked, "Is Shangxiang you?" The second master didn't come, did he? Is the second master angry with me? My heart hurts.......

"Yingniang, what's wrong?" Zhan Shaoting followed the voice and walked in.

Aunt Ying got down from the kang, forgot to wear embroidered shoes, was stunned, and suddenly threw herself into Zhan Shaoting's arms, snorting, "Is the second master you?" Are you coming to see the concubine? Concubines aren't dreaming, are they? ”

Zhan Shaoting felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, Aunt Ying's parents had nothing to do with her, and they snubbed her plainly, so he hugged her and sat on the edge of the kang and wiped the tears from her face for her, "Don't cry, it's not good for the fetus in the womb." ”

Aunt Ying burst into tears and smiled, "The slave is happy, and I like it in my heart." ”

Zhan Shaoting was moved, and looked at the house, "This house is temporarily lived, waiting for you to give birth to the moving place." ”

Looking at the bedding on the bed again, it was new, and nodded, Shen Xuanzhen learned a lot from her mother-in-law, what is on the surface is the face, and it can't be saved, Zhan Shaoting and this little concubine will also sleep, if the bedding is not clean and old, you will be dissatisfied immediately, as for the rest, the face is light, and who knows the inside.

Aunt Ying was full of grievances, and after listening to Zhan Shaoting's words first, it was not good to sue Shen Wanzhen.

It was late, Shang Xiang waited, the two washed and went to bed, Zhan Shaoting hugged Aunt Ying, and wanted the two of them to talk, but Aunt Ying's hands were not honest, teasing Zhan Shaoting, Zhan Shaoting was afraid that she was pregnant, and he didn't dare to touch her, making her uncomfortable and itchy. It was not easy to find a room to solve it every night, so I had to endure it, take away Aunt Ying's little hand on her body, turn over and face outward, and not look at Aunt Ying's almost j□j body, Aunt Ying was lying on his shoulder, still unwilling, and wanted to be affectionate, Zhan Shaoting said lightly, "Sleep!" "I just ignored her, motionless, Aunt Ying was left out in the cold, it was not good to be too active, I was afraid that Zhan Shaoting would be suspicious, so I lay flat, listened to the breathing of the man next to me, calmed down a fire in my heart, and soon, there was a slight breathing sound of Zhan Shaoting, I was asleep,

Aunt Ying was annoyed, pretending to be pregnant should be dealt with as soon as possible, after a long time, she still doesn't show her pregnancy, which makes people suspicious, not to mention that Zhan Shaoting doesn't touch her, when and what month can she really get pregnant.

I wanted to see the opportunity to blame Shen Wanzhen, but Shen Wanzhen didn't let her go to the room to ask for peace, exempted her from all etiquette, and was bored in this small courtyard all day long, what way did she think of to make Shen Wanzhen carry this black cauldron, and she couldn't say it clearly?
