Chapter 607: A very knowledgeable village aunt
Chapter 607 A very knowledgeable village aunt
Di Renjie admires Wu Meiniang very much, otherwise he would not want to marry her sister. But the matter of Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi is a big secret, Wang Ping'an has not told him, although Di Renjie feels that there may be something in it, but he is different from Wang Ping'an after all.
For a Tang Dynasty person, a scholar who received feudal education since childhood, it is basic common sense to be a venerable person, and it must be done. So Wang Ping'an glared at him, and he was not allowed to ask more and say more, so for him, there was no reason to reason, this was the normal mentality of a normal scholar who didn't want to rebel!
He thought that Wu Meiniang was dead, but here he suddenly saw a village girl, a chubby village girl, wearing shabby clothes, standing in this dilapidated courtyard...... If he imagines this village girl as a peerless Wu Meiniang, then he is not Di Renjie, but a great sage, and he can stand side by side with the great sage!
Di Renjie sighed, stunned on the spot, and thought: "This person looks quite similar to Sister Wu!" It's just that the appearance is similar, but the look is too different. And the skin is also a little rougher, the waist is a little thicker, and there is a stupid expression, at first glance, it is a woman who has never seen the world, and she will only circle the pot! ”
Wu Meiniang's heart was beating wildly, and she thought, "Xiao Di recognized me now?" I still thought that I had eaten so much these days, gained so much weight, and pretended to be a village girl, he wouldn't recognize it, and the black ash on my face was less? ”
In order not to let people recognize who she is at a glance, she has carefully put on makeup, of course, it is impossible to transform into another person, and the Tang Dynasty does not have such high makeup skills, let alone plastic surgery, but no matter what, a palace maid and a village girl are also very different. The palace maid belonged to the highest level of society in the Tang Dynasty at that time, and her current appearance is a penniless, pregnant, and suffering from domestic violence, abandoned in a foreign land...... In short, a woman who is so miserable that she is no longer miserable!
Can you still recognize me like that? Wu Meiniang has a great sense of frustration, is it possible that today's chance encounter will encounter difficulties and cause extraneous branches?
Di Renjie looked at Wu Meiniang in a daze, and Wu Meiniang looked at him in shock!
Wu Xiaomei asked strangely, "Di Lang, do you recognize her?" ”
Di Renjie sighed, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, how can I have acquaintances here." It's just that this person looks a little ...... How to say it, déjà vu! After speaking, he didn't say hello to Wu Meiniang, and took Wu Xiaomei to the backyard again.
Wu Xiaomei looked at Wu Meiniang curiously, when she and Wu Meiniang separated, she was still a little girl doll, Wu Meiniang's appearance was already vague, I can't remember what the second sister looks like, even if she grows up sensible, but when I hear others talk about the second sister who is a talented person in the palace, others also say good things, what is as beautiful as a flower, elegant temperament, and so on. In her heart, she has considered the second sister of the deceased to be the most perfect woman in the world!
As for the woman in front of her, she really can't match the side of perfection! Looking at her appearance, she is already in her thirties and almost forty, and she still looks a little stupid, is it possible that this village aunt is still stupid?
The two walked past Wu Meiniang's side, looking at the village aunt with a "dumb" face, Wu Xiaomei suddenly whispered: "Look at her very pitiful." Dillang, do you have any money, give her some! ”
Di Renjie hummed and thought, "Yes, I should give her some money." This woman, how to say it, is a little similar to Sister Wu, just because of this, I should help her. He took out a small money bag from his arms, which contained golden melon seeds, and he has now developed a habit of rewarding others with golden melon seeds if he has nothing to do.
When Wu Meiniang saw him take out the money bag, she said secretly: "This is to reward me, and also to reward gold melon seeds, he really takes Wang Ping'an as an example!" ”
But he saw Di Renjie take the money bag and look at himself, put the money bag back in his arms, and took out another money bag, this money bag is bigger than the one just now!
Wu Meiniang thought to herself: "What are you doing, how much do you want to reward me?" Did he recognize who I was, was he pretending to be confused? ”
Di Renjie took out his big money bag, but thought in his heart: "Confused, I was really confused just now." She is such a village girl, if I give her gold melon seeds, how can she spend it, this small place wants to exchange gold, I'm afraid it's not easy, right? Wouldn't it be bad if someone else snatched it and hurt her again. It's better to give her some copper coins, it's easier to spend! ”
He was very kind, very considerate of the village aunt, exchanged the golden melon seeds for copper coins, poured out more than 20 yuan, and said with a smile: "This aunt, this money is for you, buy a pair of shoes to wear, I see that your shoes are broken." ”
Wu Meiniang opened her mouth wide and thought, "It's not pretending to be confused, it's really not recognizing me, and you actually call me aunt!" ”
Looking at the way she opened her mouth wide, Wu Xiaomei and Di Renjie thought at the same time: "It's really stupid, it's really pitiful!" Wu Xiaomei took the money from Di Renjie's hand, stuffed it into Wu Meiniang's hand, and whispered: "Take it!" ”
Wu Meiniang took the copper coin and thought: "You don't recognize me, it seems that my makeup is still good, I have eaten and slept these days, and the effect is remarkable." ”
She looked at Wu Xiaomei, this is her little sister? It's grown so big, and people are also very delicate, but they seem to be a little sick, and their bones are still not very strong, it's really hard for her and her mother these years, I don't know how the stepbrother in the family abused them!
Seeing the closeness in the eyes of the aunt in this village, Wu Xiaomei smiled at her and thought: "It's so good, it feels so good to be a good person, no wonder my uncle always likes to be a good person!" ”
Di Renjie looked at the backyard, snorted, and said, "Don't go in, I see that there is a person inside whose clothes are full of blood, and it looks a little terrifying." ”
As soon as Wu Xiaomei heard that there was blood, she immediately turned her head and said, "The slave family is most afraid of seeing blood, so if you don't go in, you won't go in." Slave ...... Or go back to serve your mother. Actually, she didn't want to leave, she wanted to stay with Di Renjie for a while, but if she couldn't go in to watch the bloody treatment scene, she could only go back, and she couldn't find an excuse to stay longer, and she wouldn't make excuses.
Di Renjie hurriedly said: "Don't ...... Don't be in such a hurry, I look at Mrs. Wu, she seems to be asleep, let's not disturb her. ”
Wu Xiaomei blinked her eyes and said very sincerely: "No, my mother just said that she wanted to soak her feet, and besides, she never slept so early." ”
Di Renjie scratched his head and said, "Then ......" He suddenly caught a glimpse of Wu Meiniang, it is better to use this woman as a topic, I asked her some about the customs of Gyeongju, but she looked a little dumbfounded, I don't know if I can answer, if I have nothing to say, it will be boring.
Isn't it easy to say something, he smiled and asked, "Auntie, have you eaten?" ”
Wu Meiniang was angry and helpless in her heart, angry that Di Renjie couldn't recognize herself, helpless because people were really not familiar with her, and she hadn't met a few times, so it was unrealistic for people to recognize herself directly, but fortunately he didn't recognize himself, otherwise the trouble would be even greater.
Wu Meiniang looked at Wu Xiaomei, her little sister had grown up, her heart was sour, and she was happy, and she was slower to answer Di Renjie's words. When Di Renjie asked again, "This aunt, have you eaten?" ”
At this time, Wu Meiniang wanted to pretend to be poor, so naturally she couldn't say that she had eaten, she shook her head, and said slowly in a slightly Shu tone: "No, there is no food to eat." "Not having food and not having food are two different concepts.
Di Renjie glanced at Wu Xiaomei and thought, "Look, isn't this a topic, she has no food to eat, which means that she is too poor." ”
Wu Xiaomei has been coldly watched and abused by her stepbrother for many years, and she often has insufficient food and clothing, so she empathizes, so she is particularly sympathetic to the poor. She said to Wu Meiniang: "Auntie, are you the landlord's wife?" Doesn't it look like, is that the same as us, a tenant? In the tone of her voice, there was also a Shu sound.
Auntie, my little sister calls me aunt, what should she call me...... Big sister? Wu Meiniang shook her head, stretched out her finger to her lips, and shh ”
Di Renjie wrinkled his nose and thought: "Listening to her accent, it seems that she is from the Bashu area, but with the accent of other places, I can't even tell where she is!" ”
He shook his head and said, "You can't afford to pay for the house, so the landlord naturally wants to evict you, but why haven't you been evicted by him?" "Although the village girl in front of me is very strong and chubby, it won't be impossible to drive away, right? It's strange, since she is a poor village girl, why does she eat so fat, she is much fatter than Wu Xiaomei.
Wu Meiniang pretended to be pitiful, bowed her head and said: "I'm pregnant with a child, if he drives me away, I can only die at the door of his house!" ”
"One corpse with two lives! Don't do such a stupid thing! Wu Xiaomei hurriedly said. She took pity on Wu Meiniang's experience, and reached out to pull her sleeve.
Wu Meiniang was very moved, after all, she was her own sister, even if her appearance changed, she couldn't recognize who she was, but this family affection still existed like a broken thread.
She said: "I only said that I would die at the door of his house and hang myself on the door frame of his house, he would not dare to drive me away, I plan to give birth to the child at his house!" ”
Wu Xiaomei sighed, her mouth opened, is this okay?
Di Renjie sighed, thinking: "This method is good, when you are desperate, as long as you are thick-skinned enough and don't leave, then no one can take her." ”
Wu Xiaomei was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Then aren't you afraid that the landlord will report to the official and send a messenger to forcibly drive you away?" ”
Wu Meiniang shook her head and said, "Don't be afraid." The landlord told me the same thing, but I told him that if he went to sue me and let the servants drive me away, then I would go to the yamen and hang myself, and this disaster would be regarded as his breaking out, and the official would definitely clean him up, so he didn't dare to report to the official! ”
This time, Wu Xiaomei's mouth couldn't be closed when she opened her mouth, and she still thought in her heart, is this okay?
Di Renjie said: "This method of yours really has no way to crack it!" If you really run to the door of the yamen to hang yourself, the official must not be scared to death, during the political period, a pregnant woman, Chen corpse screamed, it has to alarm the entire Gyeongju officialdom, even the Chang'an court has to know about it! With such a black stroke on the magistrate's face, the future of the magistrate will be completely ended, and there will be no more future! ”
Thinking that he was going to take over the post of county magistrate of Heshui County, Di Renjie's mouth twitched, it is not easy to be a magistrate, the woman in front of him is simply ...... It's Diao Min!
Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "So the landlord didn't dare to sue me, he was afraid of causing trouble to the official." ”
Wu Xiaomei clapped her hands and said: "Auntie, you are so smart, you can come up with such a good way to come to the white house, my mother and I never thought of it!" ”
When they were in their hometown, Mrs. Yang and Wu Xiaomei were abused by the sons of their two wives and robbed them of their share of property, but their mothers were helpless, they didn't know how to protect themselves, and they never thought of reporting to the police for help. Of course, even if it is useless to report to the official, the brothers of the martial arts family will settle the official master and let them sue if they can't win!
Wu Meiniang's method is that if you force me to be unable to live, then I won't live, I will hang myself at the door of your yamen, I won't die, and you won't be an official!
The politics of the early Tang Dynasty were quite clear, and of course they were not very good in private, but at least on the surface, all the officials were above board, if anyone risked their lives and didn't want to do it, the officials had no choice but to appease, and even paid for it themselves, otherwise wouldn't it be the end of being an official!
Wu Xiaomei thought to herself: "If only I had met this aunt earlier, her trick is definitely good, as long as I make a fuss, I am not afraid that the official master will not give us back the property." But it's a bit embarrassing to do this, she would never do it, she would rather starve to death than do this kind of thing that makes the martial arts family lose face! ”
Here they were talking, and outside ran in a guard with a medicine bag in his hand. The guard smiled at Di Renjie and ran past Wu Meiniang's side!
Wu Xiaomei said: "He took the medicine, did he treat the landlord?" ”
Di Renjie hummed and said, "It should be." If you don't want to see it, then let's go back! Originally, he wanted to talk to the village aunt and take the opportunity to stay with Wu Xiaomei for a while, but as soon as he chatted, he talked about how to deal with the official master, how dare he talk about it again!
Wu Xiaomei nodded obediently and said, "Okay, then let's go back!" Seeing Di Renjie turn around and walk out, she hurriedly followed, took two steps, but turned around and asked Wu Meiniang: "Auntie, the method you think of will be effective against the official master?" ”
Wu Meiniang smiled: "It must be effective, I know them best as officials." As long as you think about how they can keep their official positions and be promoted, you will definitely be able to guess it! ”
Wu Xiaomei snorted, feeling that what she said made sense, but she didn't have any special reaction.
Di Renjie suddenly turned around and looked at Wu Meiniang in amazement, how could this woman understand the mentality of officials so well, this is not the insight that a village aunt should have!
Wu Meiniang lowered her head and counted the copper coins in her hand, and said: "If you eat too much to be an official, what they think, you will naturally guess it!" ”
