Chapter 1: The First Arrival in Stone Town (1)
Liu Xing'er woke up from freezing.
She remembers that on her twenty-eighth birthday, she made an appointment with her colleagues to go diving together, but she didn't want to lose contact with everyone halfway, and then her body began to get lighter and lighter, and slowly lost control......
In a daze, she seemed to have a dream, dreaming that she had her own inn in a certain dynasty, Liu Xinger was the marketing planning manager of a high-end hotel in France, and she thought it was an interesting thing.
It's just, why does she feel that her body is getting colder and colder?
She tried to open her eyes, and there was a girl standing in front of her, her face was round and chubby, her eyes were bulging like two beans, her face was yellow and had plateau red, a slanted burgundy top, a long ink-colored skirt, and a jet-black hair with half coiled buns, a little frizzy and dry, which was the dress of an ancient woman.
She has seen many such scenes in costume dramas.
Liu Xinger thought to herself, is she dead or dreaming?
The little girl dropped the wooden basin in her hand and said in horror, "Brother and sister, my father told me to go to the hall, so I will leave first." ”
Siblings?
She is mediocre in appearance and has never even been in love, how did she become someone's younger brother and sister?
Liu Xing'er wanted to ask her well, but the girl ran away, she uncovered the wet quilt with difficulty, and carefully looked at the room where she was staying.
The thick smell of oil smoke filled the room, her throat was hoarse, a few rays of sunlight shone through the cracks in the oil-covered windows on the dusty dresser, and the wooden bed beneath her body made her ache and fill the room with the smell of moisture.
There was a brass candlestick on the maroon wooden cabinet next to it, and she held the fire fold next to it and lit the wick.
She trembled and beat the candlestick, trying to change into a clean dress in the closet, and rummaged through it, and the master's clothes were either faded or had seven or eight patches.
Liu Xing'er shuddered, thinking to herself, the furnishings in this room are really old enough.
Where did you go?
She was so cold that she had nothing to be picky about, so she took a random dress and put it on herself, and when she turned around, she saw herself in the dusty bronze mirror: goose egg face, big eyes, delicate eyebrows, pink face and red lips, petite and delicate, just grizzled and raunchy......
Liu Xing'er was surprised, her face was not so beautiful!
She sighed a few times at the bronze mirror, wiped the mirror vigorously with her sleeve, and then determined that the person in the mirror was really herself, she had some memories in her mind, but she didn't expect that she would appear in the Fulai Inn in Wenchao Stone Town, and her current identity is the daughter-in-law of Su Zhengdi, the son of the shopkeeper of the Fulai Inn Su Zhengdi, "Liu Xing'er".
It turned out that all this was not a dream, she actually died in diving, and then miraculously reborn, becoming Liu Xing'er, who was born in the same month and day and died on the same day and space as her, but this "Liu Xing'er" was only eighteen years old.
With a bang, the door was slammed open.
A fat girl of twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a yellow face and some freckles, wearing a maroon slanted skirt, a purse tied around her waist, and her sleeves were rolled up high and inserted into her waist, staring at Liu Xinger menacingly.
She is Liu Xing'er's eldest sister Su Huagu, and she is also the chef in charge of Fulai Inn, scolding Liu Xing'er loudly.
"Brother and sister! The bowls and chopsticks in the back kitchen are almost piled higher than the mountain, what are you hiding here! ”
She chuckled disdainfully.
"Don't think that my brother can look down on your foxy face, our brother is the worst woman, you are just a miscellaneous one bought by our Fulai Inn, and those who call you a brother and sister really think that they are the master's family, what is there to pay attention to!"
This domineering appearance is not like a sister-in-law who is going to marry out, but more like the hostess of this house.
The little girl Su Sanhua who appeared in her room before was Liu Xing'er's sister-in-law, hiding behind Su Huagu and pulling her sleeve, and whispered: "Sister, or let's forget it!" ”
Memories of the body began to run through her mind.
It turns out that this "Liu Xinger" mother-in-law has an ancestral post station, although it is in a distant town, but because the people of the surrounding villages and towns must pass through this place to enter Beijing, the business has been good in the past, but in recent years, the competition has become more and more fierce, a few people barely make a living before they have a foothold, and the life is poor, she is not only a cow and a horse in this family, but also has to deal with three troubled sisters-in-law.
As the saying goes, three women in one play, and the play of Fulai Inn is not simple.
In Stone Town, Liu Xing'er is a lazy thief, who does not abide by women's morals and seduces guests, but Su Zhengdi can tolerate her by valuing her with affection and righteousness.
And the origin of these rumors, just because Su Zhengdi loves Liu Xing'er a little bit of a married woman, Su Zhengdi's grandmother Mrs. Su passed away, the Fulai Inn is gradually declining, Mrs. Su has a long-term vision, in order to keep the Fulai Inn, I don't want the Su family tree to fall apart, so I made a will, to give my grandson Su Zhengdi seventy percent of the shares, and the other granddaughters can get one percent, since ancient times, women can have family property and profit is unprecedented, even if it is a treasure, a big family work together to finally keep the Fulai Inn.
The three sisters of the Su family have stayed in the Fulai Inn because of this share, not only got rid of the fate of ancient women who had to find someone to spend the rest of their lives when they reached marriageable age, but also each had their own small treasury.
Year after year, as the fourth brother, Su Zhengdi finally reached the age of marriage, the three sisters of the Su family have their own little abacus, afraid that the future daughter-in-law of the Su family will threaten their status in the Fulai Inn, which made the heart buy the cowardly and incompetent Liu Xinger to marry into the Su family, but they didn't think that this Liu Xinger was not rumored to be ugly at all, and even a little bit of beauty, and Su Zhengdi trusted Liu Xinger many times. These three sisters were afraid that Su Zhengdi would one day be obsessed with this weak and somewhat beautiful woman, and the three sisters were impetuous, so they opposed Liu Xing'er everywhere and slandered them everywhere.
The women of the past are not like the women of the new era, who pay attention to the truth in everything, they will only spread the truth one by one, and spread the truth by falsehood, for fear of missing any excitement.
In the face of thousands of rumors in the town, Liu Xing'er was speechless, even if her husband Su Zhengdi insisted on believing Liu Xing'er, Liu Xing'er couldn't resist the pressure of rumors after all, and committed suicide by taking poison.
It's just that the current Liu Xing'er is no longer the Liu Xing'er of the past, and in the face of the eldest sister who didn't leave her the slightest affection, Liu Xing'er said angrily: "Auntie, you still want to think about your own marriage, I married into the Su family, and I can be regarded as a member of the Su family, what about the eldest sister?" It's better to worry about it, you should worry about it. ”
