Chapter 132: Lantern Festival
Tan Wenshi meant to let Du Qiutong pass through the door as soon as possible, so he picked up an auspicious day nearby, which was on the nineteenth day of the first month.
After the date was set, Tan Wenshi immediately told Xue Qianqian and asked Xue Qianqian to prepare for the entry into the back house. Tan Wenshi seemed to be very relieved of Xue Qianqian, and after talking to Xue Qianqian, he generously became the shopkeeper and never asked about the progress again.
Tan Wenshi didn't ask, Xue Qianqian didn't do it.
As Xue Qianqian's bride mother, Xue Qianqian's nurse couldn't help but be a little worried. When she picked up Xue Qianqian's new jewelry and was in a good mood, the nurse asked cautiously: "Mrs., Aunt Du is about to pass through the door, should Mrs. hurry up about the things that the master explained before?" ”
Xue Qianqian smiled and said coldly: "I haven't passed the door yet, it's too early to call Aunt Du." As he spoke, he slammed a pure gold earring on the dresser hatefully, frightening the blue shadow on the side and immediately turning white.
The nurse hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, it shouldn't be called Aunt Du." ”
After the nurse finished speaking, she turned her head and instructed Biying: "Why don't you go and get a candle for your wife, so that your wife can take a closer look at whether the blue glaze of this colorful blue flower is good, if it is not good, take it to the jewelry store to change." "The reason why the nurse sent Biying away was just to prevent Xue Qianqian from losing her temper when she saw Biying, which would only make it more troublesome.
Xue Qianqian turned to pick up a jade hairpin and admired it carefully, and said, "A cheap maid is just going to live in, what do you need me to prepare for her?" Could it be that I still want to build her a golden house and a golden yard? Besides, with her identity, she deserves me to bother for her? She deserves it too? ”
In the end, it is Xue Qianqian's nurse, Xue Qianqian naturally treats her like an ordinary person, and the nurse dares to say a few more words: "That cheap maid is naturally not worthy of letting her wife work for her." But if the wife doesn't do the face-saving thing, it won't be the face of the master. ”
Xue Qianqian snorted coldly: "I just want to lose my lord's face." If he thinks that I am a bully, and that I can tolerate that, will he not have to indulge that to ride on my head in the future? That is not right-minded, if she doesn't give her a dismount, she will get carried away in the future. ”
The nurse sighed and persuaded: "Mrs. wants to give the cheap maid a horse, there is a way, when the cheap maid enters the door, it is okay to fight a few meals and starve a few meals." The wife is right, the cheap maid is small, even if the wife teaches the cheap maid, the cheap maid can only bear it. But my wife can't break her grandfather's face......"
The nurse said while helping Xue Qianqian to clean up: "It was the master who asked the wife to prepare for that cheap maid, if the wife doesn't do it, the master will definitely feel faceless." Mrs. still buys some more, and it doesn't need to be too good, as long as others know that the master is listening to the wife, this is to save the face of the master, and it is also to save the reason for the master to pick his wife. ”
"Picky?" As soon as Xue Qianqian talked about this, she became angry: "Their family still doesn't pick on me?" His old immortal mother wants to go east and west all day long, I didn't buy anything for her, but what about her? I cried with my grandfather for a while last night, saying that I treated her badly, scolded me for not being filial, and caused my grandfather to quarrel with me! I'm not even angry now! ”
The nurse comforted and persuaded: "It is precisely because the old lady always does not go with her wife in everything, that the wife has to grasp the master's heart even more." Now that the old lady is complaining about something, the lord may not be so hearty, but the is a bad heart, if the provokes from it, and the old lady arranges the wife together, the lord is afraid ......"
"I'm afraid of what? Could it be that the master dared to let that cheap concubine kill his wife?! Xue Qianqian was furious, and smashed the jade hairpin in her hand to the ground at once, and with a "bang", it was shattered at the feet of Biying, who was walking towards the dressing table with the candlestick!
Bi Ying, who had been tortured by Xue Qianqian all day long and almost disappeared, was frightened and cried, and his whole leg fell to the side as soon as he was weak, and the candle flame in his hand just burned the corner of the "Flower and Full Moon" scroll!
Biying reacted immediately, and without thinking about it, she pounced on it and extinguished the small flames.
Xue Qianqian and the nurse heard that the movement was wrong, and when they looked over there, they saw that the scroll had left a black scorch mark in the corner.
The drawings of the scroll were all in good condition, except that a small piece of the lining paper on which the scroll was framed had been burned, forming a small black notch, which looked very glaring, as if there was still a faint smell of burning.
Xue Qianqian immediately became angry: "How did you do things?" It was a scroll given by someone else when my lord and I got married, and it was written 'Flower is full moon', and you actually burned it......"
Before the words fell, I heard Tan Wenshi's impatient questioning outside the door: "My mother has already said that my mouth is not good these days, so I asked you to arrange the kitchen to make some soft food, why did you let the kitchen make mutton ......" Before the words fell, Tan Wenshi had already opened the curtain angrily and came in.
As soon as Xue Qianqian heard that Tan Wenshi was questioning herself again because of her mother-in-law, her face was extremely ugly, but before Xue Qianqian's rebuttal could be spoken, Tan Wenshi, who heard Xue Qianqian's last words, had already rushed to the side of the scroll! Tan Wenshi pointed to the scorch mark: "This...... This ......"
Biying, whose face was so pale that he immediately knelt down in fright: "Yes...... I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to......"
Tan Wenshi was silent for a moment, and suddenly slapped him backhand! He knocked Biying to the ground!
Before Biying could scream, Tan Wenshi had already angrily picked up the window bolt and slapped Biying a few times!
The whole thing happened very quickly, and even Xue Qianqian, who has always been arrogant and domineering and beating people without blinking, was stunned with her mouth open! Xue Qianqian had never seen Tan Wenshi so angry!
Xue Qianqian reacted for a while, took a deep breath and reprimanded: "You beat the maid in my house like this, I think you actually want to hit me in the face, right?" Isn't there something wrong with the old lady's food, and you are so angry? The old lady asked me for mutton to eat, but I didn't give it to her, so she said that I was hungry for her, and gave it to her, and she said that her teeth were not good and she couldn't bite it, can you blame me?! ”
Tan Wenshi also calmed down a little, touched his forehead, his forehead was already full of sweat, he obviously didn't expect his reaction to be so strong, he was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xue Qianqian, who also looked incredulous, and said in a whisper: "This is ...... This is a congratulatory gift for our wedding......"
Xue Qianqian was stunned for a moment, her face was relieved, Tan Wenshi obviously also looked relieved, and continued: "And...... This is a scroll that reads 'Flowers are good and the moon is full', such a scroll with meaning, let this maid who is not long-eyed burn, isn't it equivalent to cursing me ......"
Xue Qianqian sighed, and no longer cared about Tan Wenshi beating Biying in front of her, sat back in front of the dressing table, and said with residual resentment: "If you burn it, burn it, it's just a scroll, just throw it away and replace it with another one." ”
"You...... Don't be angry, you can't lose this, I'll go and reframe it. Tan Wenshi said as he took the scroll off the wall and carefully stacked it.
Seeing his nervous appearance, Xue Qianqian glanced at him from the mirror, Tan Wenshi walked over, and was a little embarrassed and speechless: "This ...... Is this your new piece of jewelry? Nice style......"
Xue Qianqian's mouth was not forgiving at all: "Don't you add some new good-looking jewelry." It is said that I only see the newcomer laughing and not hearing the old person crying, Aunt Du is about to enter the door, and when the master has her, where can I still remember me? I don't have to dress up so that my grandfather can remember to come to see me once a month. ”
Tan Wenshi immediately said: "Isn't it bad for you to say this, you are a wife, and you are jealous with your concubine." ”
Xue Qianqian sneered: "After the surnamed Du enters the door, the master can still remember that there is a wife like me, and I will burn high incense." ”
The tentative meaning in Xue Qianqian's words was obvious, that is, waiting for Tan Wenshi to make a coax, waiting for Tan Wenshi to promise not to snub Xue Qianqian because of Du Qiutong. However, Tan Wenshi, who has always been sweet-mouthed, only said coldly: "I still have something to do, come back later today." With that, he carefully took the burnt scroll and left.
As soon as Tan Wenshi stepped out of the door, the more Xue Qianqian thought about it, the more angry she became, and she picked up the colorful blue flower and threw it on the ground! Fortunately, the blue flower was made of gold, otherwise the new jewelry would have been shattered. Xue Qianqian was so angry that she asked the nurse: "Tell me, is he already worried about the cheap maid surnamed Du in his heart?" ”
The nurse hurriedly said: "No, no, there must be only one wife in my heart." ”
Xue Qianqian was about to cry: "If he hadn't remembered it, how could he not even say a perfunctory word to me?" ”
The nurse hurriedly comforted: "Hasn't my lord been busy with business recently, and it is inevitable that he will ignore his wife's feelings." Ye just got so angry uncharacteristically, and it is estimated that he is not in a good mood today. The master is not happy, the wife should comfort a few words, don't come against the master......"
Xue Qianqian became more and more excited: "I have long felt that he has already remembered the cheap maid surnamed Du, otherwise why would he let the cheap maid in advance?" Say it's busy in the summer, so do it early and fart! I don't know him yet, it's obviously an excuse, he just wants the guy surnamed Du to enter the door in advance, and then they can stay and fly together! ”
Xue Qianqian wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and took the case: "He can't even wait for a few months, isn't it because he already remembers that his heart is itching?" These days, he is becoming more and more perfunctory to me, if I want to continue like this, when the surname Du enters the door, will I still have a place? ”
The nurse sighed: "How can there be no place for the wife?" Mrs. is the main room, and the concubine is a slave in front of you, and she has to serve you, how can you be squeezed by the concubine so that there is no place for you? ”
The nurse tactfully persuaded: "You are the main room, your status is stable, and you don't have to worry about whether you will fall out of favor like a concubine." As long as you do what you should do in the main room, the master and others will definitely not be able to find fault with you, even if there is an arrogant concubine, you can only nod in front of you. ”
In fact, what the nurse wants to say is that the relationship between husband and wife is not long-lasting, and the status of the main room is long-lasting. Xue Qianqian is the main room, and she will always be a first-class concubine, as long as Xue Qianqian can be satisfied with this and be a housewife, no matter how many concubines there are, Xue Qianqian's life will not be difficult.
But Xue Qianqian didn't answer, obviously she didn't listen to the nurse's words at all.
There was always a fire burning in Xue Qianqian's heart, and before marrying Tan Wenshi, that fire had been burning, it was only about Tan Wenshi, and that fire completely burned Xue Qianqian's sanity when she was still in her youth.
Xue Qianqian suddenly thought of something: "Did you just say that he will come back later today?" ”
Grandma was stunned, but she didn't expect Xue Qianqian to suddenly ask about this, and after thinking for a while, she replied: "It seems to have said ......."
Xue Qianqian suddenly sneered: "Hmph, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, where is he going if he doesn't go home at night?" ”
"This ......" the nurse guessed, "Maybe there is something on the third master's side, hasn't the third master often called the master to talk recently?" ”
Xue Qianqian's eyes narrowed fiercely and said, "Third master? I want to see if he said he was going to see the third master at every turn, whether he really went to see the third master, or was he tricking me! ”
The nurse was taken aback by Xue Qianqian's expression, and asked carefully, "What does Mrs. want to do?" ”
Xue Qianqian said coldly: "Today is the Lantern Festival, the daughters of each family go out to enjoy the lanterns, and the cheap maid surnamed Du will also come out, maybe it is an appointment with the master for a tryst!" ”
The nurse smiled wryly and said, "No...... That will enter the door in a few days, so I can't wait for a few days......"
"This is not good, if his heart is really hooked by the cheap maid surnamed Du, maybe he really can't wait to have an affair with that cheap maid!" Xue Qianqian clapped her hands and said, "By the way, there is also the matter of the Qian family's antique shop, until now it is still a mess, maybe he is going to find the widow tonight!" ”
Xue Qianqian said fiercely: "I'm going to go out tonight to see if there is a fox spirit hooking him and not going home!" ”
After dark.
Ningxia Zi got rid of everyone and quietly ran to the shop, but was caught by Ah Zheng!
