Chapter 102: Burnt out
In the past few days, Su Yuyan has been extremely cautious, boiling medicine in the small kitchen in the courtyard, and she doesn't dare to leave a step.
In addition, the weather in June, the rain has been falling for several days and nights, and the bamboo seems to like to cry a little more in the past two days, which makes Su Yuyan anxious.
Besides, what the croppers are most afraid of is encountering strange weather, last year was a drought, and this year it rained so hard, and I don't know what happened to Zhao Linxian at home.
At night, after letting Qiao's drink the medicine, Su Yuyan was coaxing with the bamboo, looking at the rain outside, she couldn't help but chant to a baby.
"Bamboo! When did you say the rain would stop, and I don't know what happened to your father at home, it was raining so hard, and your father was still busy in the fields! Do you think our fields will be flooded by the rain! That's the food we depend on for survival, and if the fields are flooded, the crops won't grow. Although we still have a little food at home, it's a pity that the crops are flooded, right? The most important thing is that your father has a crush on those paddy fields! If it drowns, he must be very sad. ”
Su Yuyan muttered a lot to herself, and the bamboo fell asleep, Su Yuyan felt a little funny, and he couldn't understand what she was doing when she said this to a milk doll.
But she was panicked! Dongzhuang Village is relatively low, and there are many rivers around, so let's get dry! Then the river will dry up, but if it rains, the water will have nowhere to go. She wanted to go back and accompany Zhao Linxian to wait for the rain to pass, but she was not at ease here.
Now that Zhao Linxian is not around, she seems to be missing a backbone, and she doesn't know how she survived without him before.
Qiao's couldn't sleep because of the rain, she was also worried about the Zhao family's paddy fields, Mama Zhang came in and saw that Qiao's was still sighing, so she said, "Madam, why haven't you slept yet!" The eldest lady didn't sleep, and the little young master was talking while holding the bamboo! ”
"Really? What is my concubine talking about? Qiao couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up.
Mama Zhang replied: "The eldest lady is talking about the paddy fields, this year's rain is a little too much, there are floods in many places, just in my hometown village, I have heard that many houses have been flooded." ”
Qiao's heart was even more panicked: "What can I do about this!" I don't know what happened to my son-in-law's field, last year's drought, this year's flood, it's really a peaceful year! ”
Mama Zhang whispered: "It is said that our county master here has done too many bad things, and God is retaliating!" If it weren't for the county lord as a backer for that negative person, the Qiao family's family business would not have all fallen into the hands of the negative person, and the young master back then ...... him."
Qiao's brows furrowed: "I can only say this in front of me, if you let the people in the second room listen to it, you will suffer." ”
Mama Zhang nodded: "I know Madam, I only dare to tell you this." ”
"I don't know when my body will be better, it's not a matter for my grandmother to drag the bamboo here, then Xu's is not a good person, I'm worried that she will attack the bamboo, if the rain stops in a few days, I will quickly let my sister go back to the village."
"Madam, your body has not been good, but the eldest lady has been here for a while, you are better, and it is really the eldest lady who is prosperous with you, I heard that the eldest lady is now said to be a lucky star in Dongzhuang Village, so you let the eldest lady stay for a few more days!" It's good to keep your body strong. ”
Qiao's smiled: "Even you are so superstitious, your concubine is a married daughter after all, she has been in her mother's house for a long time, her mother-in-law will have opinions, not to mention that she still carries bamboo, the child has lost weight recently, and this time it will hurt her mother-in-law." ”
Mama Zhang didn't know what to say.
Su Yuyan fell asleep at night holding the bamboo against the head of the bed, and when she woke up the next day, her head was dizzy, as if she was infected with wind and cold.
Mama Zhang looked at Su Yuyan's face and asked her to rest more, but after a trip, she came back and said: "It has been raining continuously these days, and many dead pigs and dead chickens have drifted down the flowing water, and many people in the city have broken out of typhoid fever recently, and I don't know if it will be a plague." ”
Hearing the word plague, Su Yuyan's heart trembled, she regretted a little that she brought the bamboo, after all, there are many people in the town, and naturally the air in the village is not as good.
Su Yuyan is so sick, this courtyard is even busier, maybe she has to use Tao'er, but Tao'er is Xu's person, how can she use it with confidence, so she asked Mama Zhang if she was close. Pros want to find something to do.
Mama Zhang said that there was a niece and daughter-in-law at home, and her hands and feet were sharp, so Su Yuyan asked Mama Zhang to call her niece and daughter-in-law.
The niece-in-law's name is . Chunlan, who has given birth and raised, has a child who is more than two years old, so she is very experienced in taking care of bamboo, which also makes Su Yuyan a lot easier.
Su Yuyan thought that she still had to send the bamboo back, otherwise she would feel uneasy, so she dragged her sick body to Chen Zihao and asked him to help send a letter to Zhao Linxian.
It just so happened that Chen Zihao still wanted to go to Su Yuyan, saying that there was a problem with the medicine residue, and there would be no problem if he ate a little bit, but if he ate it for a long time, it would drag down the person's body and bones, and people could not see the cause of death.
Su Yuyan clenched her fists, this must have been done by someone in the second room, so deliberately wanting Qiao's death, but she didn't dare to poison her, but she just wanted to clear up the relationship.
It seems that Tao'er can't stay, without Tao'er to help in the yard, Xu's is not so convenient to persecute.
Su Yuyan thanked her and prepared to leave, Chen Zihao didn't know what the situation was, and didn't forget to say: "Sister-in-law, don't forget to find me a daughter-in-law." ”
Su Yuyan still had the heart to talk about finding a daughter-in-law for him, and hurriedly returned home.
Chen Zihao saw that the situation was a little wrong, so it was better to go to Dongzhuang Village first.
After Su Yuyan returned home, she kept staring at Tao'er, which made Tao'er panic: "Miss, is Tao'er doing something bad?" ”
Su Yuyan shook her head: "No, I thought that you have been serving in the courtyard of our big house for many years, and you should also find a good place for you." ”
Tao'er immediately knelt down: "Miss, Tao'er doesn't want a good place to go, I just want to stay in the house to take care of Mrs.!" ”
She is still waiting for the Xu family to fulfill her promise and let her be the young master's concubine, so she doesn't want to marry a poor boy casually.
"Don't you want to get married?" Su Yuyan asked patiently.
Tao'er shook her head: "The slave doesn't want to." ”
Su Yuyan approached Tao'er and looked at her with fine skin and tender meat, she really didn't look like a slave! Let's talk about the hair ornament on this head, which is not something that a little slave can afford. "Then do you want to be a young grandmother!"
Tao'er's heart was about to jump out: "Miss, the slave doesn't have this blessing." ”
"I see that you have, you don't look like you're going to be a maid! Maybe the young master will take a fancy to it. Su Yuyan said with a smile inside.
Tao'er didn't know if Su Yuyan found out, or if she just thought she was a young grandmother.
Seeing that Su Yuyan's face became kinder, Tao'er thought that it was the latter, and she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, saying that people have a face and can see wealth at a glance, which is called destined.
Tao'er is even more sure that she will be able to be Su Zhimao's concubine.
Mama Zhang and Chunlan watched from the sidelines, not understanding what the situation was.
However, Mama Zhang warned Chunlan: "People, you must know what your identity is, and always think about your master, so that you can be a good errand!" ”
Chunlan is also a solid one, nodding in response.
After Tao'er was praised by Su Yuyan, she dressed up even more fancy, and Cui'er, who lived in the same room with her, couldn't stand it: "You forgot what the second lady said, don't dress up so charmingly, otherwise you will be whipped!" ”
If Tao'er was afraid before, but now Tao'er won't be afraid of the second lady at all, after all, she is a person who is born with a good life.
She also knows about Su Yuyan, married to Dongzhuang Village and became Fuxing, last year's drought, rice was planted in her paddy field, what Fuxing said, can it not be true?
"I can't compare with you, but your rough skin and thick flesh, even if you dress up, it doesn't look good!" Momo's face was smug.
Cui'er glanced at Tao'er, and didn't think she was so good-looking, wearing the flower on her head, like a dirt bun: "If you don't listen, forget it, why do you still bury us, just say that you carry these things to make it easier to work?" ”
Momo also wiped a little blush on her face, feeling very satisfied: "I won't have to work soon." ”
Cui'er knew that she wanted to hook up with Su Zhimao, but she didn't think she could do it, but she had said a lot of this kind of thing before, but what about the result! It's not like everyone, doing the work of a rough maid.
Tao'er is an old man in the house, stay for a long time, and understand some of Su Zhimao's living habits, such as in the afternoon, Su Zhimao will definitely eat snacks at home, this rain is so heavy, where can Su Zhimao go if he is not at home!
So he took the initiative to go to the kitchen, and the kitchen girls who spoke skillfully were happy, so he handed Su Zhimao's snacks to her.
Su Zhimao has been depressed since he married the fifth lady of the Li family, who wants to live a lifetime in front of an ugly and stupid woman, according to his words, he would rather marry a pig, and the pig is still in vain!
And recently, in order to marry the fifth miss of the Li family, he couldn't go anywhere, and his mother asked him to pretend to be a scholar at home.
He has hated reading since he was a child, this must have followed Xu's genes, and he couldn't help it! It's annoying to see those books, it's not as fun as fighting crickets.
At this time, Tao'er came in with a snack, Su Zhimao saw it, and thought it was very good-looking, maybe he hadn't seen a beautiful woman for too long. "Yo, it's Peach! Why are you serving snacks to Young Master Ben today? ”
Tao'er secretly sent Qiu Bo and brought the dim sum over with a coquettish face: "Young master, the slave knows that you have been studying hard recently, so she specially brought dim sum for you." ”
Su Zhimao grabbed Tao'er's hand with emotion: "In this whole house, only Tao'er, you still think about this young master!" ”
Tao'er blushed and twitched her hand, Su Zhimao just grabbed it: "Tao'er, you look so good today!" ”
