This time, Old Man Lou was really angry, and no one dared to persuade him. Zhu Jinlan finally became the first woman to die in the ancestral hall since the Lou family moved to Sangyu County.

Three months ago, she personally led someone to help Zheng Xian'er choose the big black coffin, but she finally slept in it by herself.

Jin Zhu, Caifeng, Fu'er and others were not worthy of their merits, and they were infamous for betraying their masters, although Zheng Xian'er pleaded, they still couldn't escape the fate of being betrayed in the end.

Although the ending was not good, several of them still came to see Zheng Xian'er before leaving the house, and they were very grateful.

It's just because Zheng Xian'er has already settled their families for them: the slaves have been freed from slavery, the poor have been rewarded with money, the sick have been hired doctors, and the young have entered the school...... At this time, it was for Zheng Xian'er to die, and these people were also willing.

Zheng Xian'er was relieved to watch a large group of maids and little maids being taken away by Ya Po, and she felt very relieved.

Finally, her hard work in the past few days has not been in vain!

Because of Old Man Lou's words, the minions of Shensiyuan have been sold cleanly, and even the girls in Lou Hong's room have not been spared.

The newcomers were all picked by Zheng Xian'er herself. There are always sixteen or seventeen maids and maids, all of whom are honest and steady, and it is best to call them in the yard.

Lou Min was grateful for a thousand thanks, but he couldn't say it in his heart: none of the seven or eight new maids of all sizes were particularly beautiful!

He had the heart to take a few more rooms, but he couldn't do anything when he looked at these faces!

In all the frustration, Lou Min looked at Chen Jingzhen's increasingly cold face, and suddenly felt particularly pleasing to the eye.

So, on the night after Zhu Jinlan's death, Lou Min swaggered into Chen Jingzhen's room.

What the? Miss Chen Si is unwilling?

The new minions of the Meditation Garden are worried that they will not have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in front of their masters! In Shensiyuan, the second master is the sky, who cares whether a concubine is willing or not!

So, on a new day, the sound of a woman crying came from the Garden of Meditation again.

Zheng Xian'er sat in the warm pavilion of Hanxiangzhai and unceremoniously destroyed the pot of green chrysanthemums on the table: "I really don't know what Miss Chen Si thinks!" I gave her such a good opportunity, but instead of refusing to envelop the second son, she pushed people out! ”

"She? The mud can't hold up the wall! Aunt An sneered, looking disdainful.

Zheng Xian'er smiled, not surprised by her attitude: "The Chen family has nothing else, but a lot of money." You're really not going to think about this daughter-in-law? ”

Aunt An lifted the lid of the teapot and looked at it, and when she saw that the color was good, she raised her hand and elegantly poured a bowl in front of Zheng Xian'er.

There was still a mocking smile on his face: "Chen Jingzhen is even more unsuccessful than the Zhu family, I can't even tolerate the Zhu family, how can I tolerate her!" ”

Zheng Xian'er smiled idly and asked, "Then whose girl does my aunt like?" ”

Aunt An poured herself a bowl of tea and drank it, and said with a smile: "Don't be interested in me." I have a number of Min'er's identity and reputation, and he can only marry a talented and virtuous concubine like Zhu for the first time. ”

Zheng Xian'er shook her head and chuckled: "That being said, do you really want to find a random one?" This is not in line with my aunt's temperament! ”

"Oh? What kind of personality am I? Aunt An asked with interest.

Zheng Xian'er thought about it and said seriously: "Sober and wise, able to bend and stretch, ruthless and decisive!" ”

She is said to be sober and sensible because she has always been very clear about her current situation and goals; said that she can bend and stretch because she has been low in front of Mrs. Lou for the past twenty or thirty years; said that she was ruthless and decisive, of course, because she was able to do it to her unborn grandchildren!

Getting such an evaluation, Aunt An was not annoyed: "The same evaluation can be used on your own body!" ”

Zheng Xian'er smiled.

Aunt An sighed: "How can a grandmother be willing to harm her grandson?" Zhu's child, the doctor has already said that he is destined to be unsaved, rather than letting her keep it for herself, it is better for me to give him a ride with my own hands! ”

Zheng Xian'er nodded in understanding, and then saw the Hu family walking in with Brother Zheng in her arms: "The Han family has already agreed, saying that the date is up to us, and everything is simple." ”

"Okay, that's exactly what I want!" Aunt Ann is overjoyed.

Zheng Xian'er was a little stunned: "The marriage of the second son? So fast? ”

Aunt Ann smiled but did not speak.

Zheng Xian'er suddenly felt a little chill in her heart.

Zhu Jinlan hasn't been buried yet, and the continuation of Lou Min here is ready?

Aunt An's heart is cold enough!

As if guessing Zheng Xian'er's thoughts, Aunt An got up and added some tea to her tea bowl, and said with a smile: "What do you want?" No matter how anxious I am, I can't find a lovely daughter-in-law in one day! You also know the newcomer this time, and you'll know when she enters the door. ”

"I know that too?" Zheng Xian'er's curiosity was aroused.

Aunt An deliberately betrayed Guan Zi, and refused to tell her in detail, only explained: "The Zhu family has been married for two or three years, and I secretly don't know how many storms have been born. Your sister-in-law has endured it again and again, and she has endured all the hardships to save Zheng'er's life. I will live on my son and grandson in the future, how can I let her be willful under my nose! ”

This is a reasonable statement.

Zheng Xian'er also shuddered when she thought of the last incident exposed by Jin Zhu.

Two years ago, the Zhu family had just married into the door, and she had the courage to attack the third young master, what would she not dare to do in the future?

Fortunately, Lou Que has been traveling, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be poisoned by her!

How could there be such a poisonous snake in the house? She died too late!

After leaving Hanxiangzhai, Zheng Xian'er still couldn't calm down for a long time.

This fear stayed with her until she returned to Luotong to rest.

It was already cold at night in early winter. Zheng Xian'er hugged the cold quilt, and her heart turned a thousand times.

She herself knew that "fear" was useless and unnecessary, but ......

It's always inevitable to worry about that person.

It's been almost a month, and I don't know if he's doing well outside? In two or three days, it will be the Halloween Festival, and the capital must be very lively at this time, will he be happy?

Zheng Xian'er never knew that she still had the potential to be a resentful woman, but these days, her deepening thoughts no longer allow her to deceive herself.

But how?

I just wanted to find a pleasing man to relieve my loneliness, how could I fall into it so easily?

This is a very bad sign.

Her identity and her situation don't allow her to take this matter too seriously, but ......

By the time she realized that something was wrong, she could no longer be her master.

For the future, Zheng Xian'er has no hope at all. So at this moment, she can already foresee how tragic her fate will be in the future!

But even so, Zheng Xian'er still didn't have the idea of retreating.

At least until that tragic "future", she had to live very freely to be a loss, didn't she?

There was a dark compartment at the head of the bed, Zheng Xian'er opened it casually, and her face immediately warmed up.

What was in there was something Lou Que left for her on the day she went out.

She'd seen it many, many times these days, and she didn't need to take it out, she could already recreate every detail of it in front of her eyes.

Every time I think about it, the heat on my body increases.

On the other hand, there is a growing emptiness in the heart.

Because of this, she didn't get a good night's sleep during this time.

When tossing and turning, he was in front of him.

Not to mention in his dreams, his shadow was everywhere.

Zheng Xian'er didn't know if every widowed woman was like her. If this is the case, it is indeed worthy of respect.

After all, it's so hard!

It's like poisoning, there is no place on the body that is not sour, no place is not itchy, as if the whole person is empty, and it seems that the whole person is about to burn......

It's painful, but it's unstoppable.

I wonder how others endured this kind of suffering?

Zheng Xian'er couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't find someone to ask, so she was really miserable.

I remember that when I was in the Pillow Fragrance Building in the past, the wicked man once said to her: That kind of taste, once you taste it, you can't let it go for the rest of your life.

But—

Zheng Xian'er closed her eyes and drove the previous thought out of her mind.

It's not like she couldn't let go from the start. Wasn't it good for the first half a year?

What she can't let go of is what it feels like, or—that person?

Another sleepless night.

There is still no answer to this question that haunts my mind.

***

The once crowded Pavilion finally ushered in the day of reopening after being closed for renovation for more than half a month.

There are two notices posted at the door, the material is made of fine plain silk, cut into the style of clothes, and the news of cheap brocade jewelry and opening discounts are written in eye-catching colored ink, attracting countless people to stop and watch.

At the door, there were more than 20 energetic officials. They have always been high, but today they all greeted people with smiling faces, causing many people to murmur secretly: Could it be that the guys who adorn the Jin Pavilion are bold and wear official clothes to deceive people?

Of course, thinking about it also knows that it can't be.

Because of the official errand, the passers-by unconsciously had a little awe of the Jin Pavilion.

Zheng Xian'er came out of the back hall, looked at the grand scene outside through a beaded curtain, and smiled.

Today she wore a plain white crepe dress, covered with a bamboo blue gown, and freehand magnolia embroidery embellished on the corners and shoulders of the clothes, setting off her whole person elegantly and refined.

"Boss, you're here!" When the shopkeeper Cheng saw her, he greeted her with a smile on his face.

Zheng Xian'er nodded and walked over to the crowd: "How many times have you said it, just call me by my name as before." ”

Shopkeeper Cheng laughed: "The name 'Tongjun Girl' has been called for three or four years, and it is smooth and cordial, but it is not as close as the word 'owner', right?" Besides, you are now the young grandmother of the Lou family, if we keep calling you 'Miss Tongjun', I am afraid that the old lady of the Lou family will be annoyed! ”

Zheng Xian'er glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "I just said casually, you have a car of words waiting for me!" ”

At this time, there were two noble ladies at the door with their daughters watching the excitement, and they happened to listen to this conversation word for word.

One of the women couldn't help but turn around and looked at Zheng Xian'er in dismay: "Isn't this Lou San's grandmother?" Legend has it that you are the new owner of this pavilion, is it true? ”

Zheng Xian'er recognized the person, and a sincere smile immediately appeared on her face: "Miss Lin? What are you doing here? Fast forward, fast forward, it's very noisy here, let's go straight to the second floor! ”

Miss Lin smiled and pulled a woman next to her over, and introduced with a smile: "This is my mother!" Next to it were my aunt and my cousin! ”

Zheng Xian'er calmly greeted the salute and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Miss Lin for two months in the blink of an eye, I didn't expect to meet here, it can be seen that my Jinge is the right one!" ”

Miss Lin said with a smile: "The Orchid Garden Elegant Gathering is once in ten days and half a month, is it my fault that you can't see me?" It's clear that you're high and don't look down on us wild girls, right? ”

"Wronged, wronged!" Zheng Xian'er laughed, "I want to go in my heart, but my mother-in-law always says that I am not interesting, saying that you are a little girl's family gathering together and lively, why should I be a widow to sweep your fun!" ”

"Well, she remembers being a widow!" The girl next to me, who I don't know, sneered.

Zheng Xian'er saw that the person was dressed ordinarily, and knew that it was not a young lady from a big person's family, so she didn't care about it.

Miss Lin wanted to fight for her, so she asked Zheng Xian'er to pull her back: "That's it, the mouth grows on others, let her say it!" ”

After saying this for a while, Mrs. Lin finally interjected: "This is the third grandmother of the Lou family?" It's better to see than to hear, what a Peugeot character! ”

Zheng Xian'er greeted her generously, and said with a smile: "Madame, don't praise me falsely, no matter how Peugeot I was born, no one will tell me about the matchmaker, it's better not to be Peugeot!" ”

The mother and daughter of the Lin family laughed when they heard this.

Miss Lin's aunt looked at Zheng Xian'er for a while, and suddenly asked, "Isn't this satin on Lou San's grandmother the same one that Lu Siniang bought last time?" ”

Zheng Xian'er pulled her sleeves casually and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ming has a good eye!" This is exactly the material that Lu Siniang wore that almost died, it is said that it is a poisonous insect that can't be sold, so I took it to make a dress for myself, I want to see if I can die by myself! ”

Opening the door to do business and recognizing people is a big deal. Zheng Xian'er has nothing to do in the past few days, and she has already inquired about the details of the rich and powerful people in the city. Therefore, as soon as Miss Lin said that she was an aunt, Zheng Xian'er knew that the lady next to her was the lady of Ming Xiucai.

Mrs. Ming saw that the other party accurately called out her identity as soon as she opened her mouth, and her heart immediately added a little liking, and the smile on her face became more sincere: "Those false rumors, only fools believe it!" The county magistrate has already made it clear that the case has already been decided, and now whoever says that the material decorated with the Jinge is poisonous insects, then there is no need to buy clothes and jewelry - how to decorate the pig's head is also a pig's head! ”

Zheng Xian'er couldn't help laughing when she heard her scolding.

She knows who Miss Lin's temperament is, these two old sisters are wonderful people!

Seeing Zheng Xian'er chatting with the two elders, Miss Lin was a little unhappy: "Hey, you are my friend, shouldn't you accompany me more?" ”

Zheng Xian'er chuckled: "Okay, good, accompany you!" Since we are friends, no matter what Miss Lin likes today, how about I give it away for free? ”

Miss Lin was taken aback: "You don't make money anymore?" ”

Zheng Xian'er pulled her to the counter and said with a smile: "Opening the door to do business is just a lively picture, who seriously wants to make money?" Although the Lou family is not rich, they still have a few acres of grange to live on, where does it fall to the point where I need to come out in person to make money? ”

"I was about to ask you," Miss Lin's eyes flashed with curiosity, "How could the Lou family allow you to come out to do business?" Isn't your mother-in-law afraid of a bad reputation? Also, I just heard the shopkeeper call you 'Miss Tongjun', the Miss Tongjun I admire the most should not really be you, right? ”

Zheng Xian'er smiled: "You asked a lot of questions at once, which one should I answer first?" ”

"First of all, let's talk about whether you are a Tongjun girl!" Miss Lin is most concerned about this.

Zheng Xian'er stretched out her hand on her chest and made an old student brushing her beard on the stage: "It's not a secret, it's just down!" ”

"Ahhhh No wonder last time in Orchid Garden, you just chatted and refused to use the needle! As long as you move the needle and thread, I will recognize it at once! You don't know how much I admire you, I've been learning your needlework for three years, and I still can't imitate it! ”

"Praise and praise!" Zheng Xian'er pretended to be humble.

Such a conversation as if no one else was going to inevitably attract the attention of others. A few people chatted lively, but they didn't notice that many people around them had stopped to listen.

At this moment, a woman next to her couldn't help but muttered softly: "It turns out that Miss Tongjun is the third young grandmother of the Lou family?" To put it this way...... I bought that interstitial screen for nothing! It's really unlucky, I bought it to add makeup to my niece, but who knew that it was a widow embroidery! ”

Miss Lin was about to get angry, but the shopkeeper Cheng had already smiled and came to the woman: "Madam, don't be angry, if the interstitial screen in your hand is really our owner's work, the Jin Pavilion is willing to recycle it at twice the price!" ”

"Really?" The woman was overjoyed.

Shopkeeper Cheng laughed loudly: "Naturally, take it seriously! Madame doesn't know yet, does she? The "Hundred Longevity Map" embroidered by our host for today's Holy Longevity Day, a few days ago, gave our Sangyu County a big face, and even the Long Live Lord and the Queen Mother were full of praise! Now the dignitaries and nobles in the capital know that the "Hundred Shou Tu" hanging in the emperor's imperial study is the needlework of our Tongjun girl, and many people are doing everything possible to inquire about it! Your interstitial, we take back 500 taels of silver, and we can sell it for 5,000 taels of silver! It's a pity that our owner doesn't pay much attention to the needlework after getting married, otherwise we can make a lot of money by selling the owner's embroidery! ”

"Get out of the way, you're dreaming!" Zheng Xian'er laughed and scolded.

When the woman heard this, her face turned red, and she did not know whether it was because of shame or excitement.

Zheng Xian'er glanced at her, still with a smile on her face: "Since Madam thinks my embroidery is unlucky, I will ask my guy to come to the door tomorrow to recycle it at a high price?" By the way, since this pavilion was opened by a widow of mine, it must be unlucky to wear clothes and jewelry on the body, and the lady should not come in the future, so as not to get bad luck! ”

The woman's face was red and white, but the people around her were still coaxing her away, and there were even two women chasing after her for three or five times the price of her interstitial screen—and there was so much noise that it was impossible to tell who said what.

After making trouble for a while, the woman finally came to her senses, blushed and said, "I don't sell interstitials!" I'm not going back! I want to buy your things, I just said that it is inconvenient to use it to add makeup to the newcomer, and I didn't say that I can't usually use it! ”

Zheng Xian'er's smile remained unchanged, and she casually beckoned a guy over: "The visitor is a guest, since this lady is interested, you have to entertain it well!" ”

The guy agreed, and the shopkeeper Cheng came to Zheng Xian'er's side and whispered: "That woman has never bought the embroidery of the owner, she must have come to make trouble!" ”

Zheng Xian'er smiled: "It's strange if no one makes trouble!" You just have to keep your eyes open a little bit, and if you see anyone who seems to be making trouble, just ask the official to throw it out! ”

After Shopkeeper Cheng stepped back, Miss Lin stroked her palms and laughed: "Sister Zheng is so amazing!" ”

Zheng Xian'er smiled and took her hand: "It's true that the smiling face of our business is welcome, but if it is someone with bad intentions, we naturally have the ability to fight - don't talk about this, let's go upstairs!" Since I said that I want to give you something, of course I have to pick the good ones and send them! ”

Miss Lin followed her excitedly, still refusing to stop: "You haven't answered my question yet-you come out to do business, you really don't care in your house?" ”

Zheng Xian'er was frank: "What's there to manage?" I didn't do anything unseemly! Besides, we are all decent ladies and ladies who come to the Jin Pavilion, what is the difference between it and the usual banquet or something? Why can't I come? ”

Although Miss Lin felt that this reason was not sufficient, she couldn't think of anything to refute it for a while.

The two went upstairs, followed by a long line of ladies and ladies. Zheng Xian'er couldn't recognize whose family it was for a while, so she simply pretended not to see it and handed it over to the guys and maids to entertain.

At this time, the lobby downstairs was already full of people, and the sound of scrambling to pay for things was deafening.

On the second floor, the ladies and ladies are naturally much more elegant than the people below, but they are no less enthusiastic about buying things than them.

Rich! Wayward!

Shopkeeper Cheng stood behind the counter, laughing so hard that his cheeks hurt, and he was still reluctant to stop.

It was only at this moment that he truly believed that his new owner had the ability to bring the Pavilion back to life!

Shopkeeper Cheng and the guys admired Zheng Xian'er's tricks so much:

Think about it, what is the reason for the snub in front of the Jinge Pavilion before?

Satin poisonous insects?

- The owner personally wore the satin of the "poisonous insect" on his body, and the rumors were self-defeating!

Adorned the Pavilion offended the official?

- Do you see who's maintaining order outside the door? Those greeting guys with a bright smile on their faces are the official errands!

Women can't run a business?

——The people who enter the store are all decent ladies and misses, our host regards the Jinge Pavilion as an elegant banquet venue, and the old lady of the Lou family certainly does not object! What the? You don't agree? Don't you admit that you are a lady of elegance?

Is it unlucky for a widow to open a shop?

We are not only widows who run shops, but we also sell widows' embroidery! Today, the emperor hangs our owner's embroidery in the imperial study, who dare to say "unlucky"?

……

No wonder Shopkeeper Cheng and the guys couldn't hide the smile in the corner of their eyes - today and today, who else can point to the Jinge Pavilion and make irresponsible remarks?

Behind our Jin Pavilion there are not only officials, county officials, and Lou families, but also the current emperor!

The Pavilion has finally raised its eyebrows!
