"What's going on?"

Seeing that Meiniang seemed to have something on her mind, Wei Shu asked lightly.

"It's nothing, it's just that when I heard about Miss Ning Xiang, I couldn't help but sigh for myself." Mei Niang lowered her head and looked a little gloomy.

Mei Niang's life is actually more bitter than Ning Xiang, Ning Xiang may be bitter for decades, and it will come to an end, and the child will have grown up by then, and there will always be a little hope for the future.

But Meiniang is different, her husband is dead, and there are only in-laws in the family, and her freedom is still imprisoned.

Even if the clansmen don't sink her in the pond, the rest of her life will only be a long loneliness and suffering.

After a moment of silence, Wei Shu asked Rong'er and Meiniang leisurely, "What's your plan for your future life?" ”

Both of them were a little surprised when they heard this, and then a trace of confusion rose in their hearts.

How do they want to arrange their lives in the future... Are people like them qualified to think about this?

After Mei Niang got rid of her husband's clansmen, she just wanted to live her life like ashes.

And Rong'er, although Wei Shu's arrival was not bad for her, but after all, she once helped her mother poison her sister, and now she is just atoning for her sins.

Every day by my sister's side has to be fearful, how dare you think about the future.

Seeing their hesitation, Wei Shu said again, "Let's get your thoughts out." ”

"Sister... I want to be free one day..."Rong'er hesitated for a moment and said truthfully, and secretly observed Wei Shu's face, afraid that she would be unhappy.

Oh, yes.

Being a slave is a slave, and the word freedom is simply wishful thinking!

But she just wanted it!

was bought into the Wei Mansion at the age of five, and followed her sister, she also accompanied her sister to learn whatever she learned, and even in many aspects she was more proficient than her sister.

But so what?

She's just a slave! Lowly subordinate.

So after confirming that the resurrected sister was not the original person, she decided to promise the mistress to poison Wei Shu.

Because the mistress promised her that once she succeeded, she would be set free!

But now I don't dare to think about anything, I just want to follow my sister to atone for my sins.

"What about you?"

After listening to Rong'er, Wei Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at Meiniang.

Mei Niang lowered her head a little hesitantly, "If you can... I want to go to him—" blushed.

That he naturally refers to the man who was good with Meiniang before.

"And where is he now?"

Wei Shu only roughly knew that the reason why Mei Niang was sunk in the pond was because she was good with one.

As a modern Rao Si, she thinks that it is normal for a woman to look for her after being widowed, and at the same time she respects Mei Niang's own privacy, so she never asks.

But now that she came out on her own, Wei Shu had zero curiosity.

Sure enough, Mei Niang's face turned red, and her demeanor was like a girl who had just fallen in love, and it seemed that she really had a deep affection for that person.

"He is a very elegant person, I know that he intends to be named on the gold list, and he once vowed to ascend to the golden palace... So I took my private money to him to make a plate and go to the imperial capital, and he also promised that I would come back to marry me on the day of the title of the gold list. ”

Looking at Mei Niang's appearance immersed in her sweet memories, Wei Shu sighed slightly.

"So you didn't even give his name when you killed him that day, just for fear that it would affect his future career?"

Mei Niang nodded without denial.

"That's it." Wei Shu raised his hand and twisted his eyebrows and said, "I will tell you today, since you must be absolutely loyal after following me, there is no room for sand in my eyes."

But I can still promise you that as long as you do something for me for five years, I will give you back your freedom, how about it? ”

Hearing this, Rong'er and Meiniang's eyes lit up, and their expressions could not hide their moved.

Because under normal circumstances, a maid or mother-in-law has to save at least twenty years of monthly money to be able to redeem herself.

But the sister promised them that she would return her freedom after five years.

Rong'er and Meiniang knelt down at the same time and bowed to the ground, "Sister Xie's great grace!" ”

Wei Shuwan, "Get up, how do you feel about my sideburns today?" ”

"Yes, sister..."

So until the dead of night, the three masters and servants were still discussing some of the problems they saw in the clothes and sideburns.

Lieru Tong's shopkeeper had obvious dereliction of duty, and the two deputies were also very slack.

Coupled with the low comprehensive level, it is no wonder that these two stores do not die!

Although Wei Shu had already thought about reform, he decided to observe a little more.

But the second one was to let Rong'er personally take some of the manuscripts she drew to the embroidery room...

It's the Dragon Boat Festival in a blink of an eye.

The doctors in Qingcheng all chose to go up the mountain to collect medicine on this day, because the afternoon of May 5 is the time when the yang energy is at its peak, and it is most effective to collect herbs to cure diseases at this time.

In addition, the streets and alleys are full of wormwood, calamus, and no matter how bitter the conditions are, people must also get a bowl of realgar wine and prepare two salted duck eggs to eat.

Not to mention a rich family like the Wei family, although the Wei family is not as good as the four major families in Qingcheng, it is still considered rich.

Early in the morning, the kitchen began to be busy wrapping zongzi and preparing five yellows, the so-called five yellows refer to yellow eel, yellow croaker, cucumber, salted egg yolk and realgar wine.

Wei Jin also came to Yuehua Pavilion very early, and when he saw that Wei Shu was still dressing up, he cheered a little, "Eldest sister, today is a dragon boat race on the Yuan River, and my father allows us to watch it." ”

It turned out that she was here to invite her out together, but Wei Shu originally planned to go to the Yuanjiang River to watch the dragon boat today.

In the last few years of her previous life, she was basically on a mission abroad, and every Dragon Boat Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival could only take a look at the domestic festival atmosphere through the Internet.

"Then go ahead."

Wei Shu had already combed Rong'er's makeup, so she got up and went to change her clothes.

Looking at Wei Jin, who was wearing an orange flowing yarn pleated skirt today, Zhu Dianjiang had lips, and his facial features, which originally belonged to the delicate style, looked a little more delicate.

Wei Shu casually took a dark purple wide-sleeved skirt, the style is simple, without any patterns, wearing it on the body is a little less graceful, but it looks more sassy and capable.

After going out with Wei Jin, he took a sedan chair to the edge of the Yuan River, which was already crowded with people.

The blue sky is clear and cloudless, and the rows of dragon boats by the river are already ready to go.

The singing and dancing girls on the flower boat not far away are graceful, and from time to time there are bursts of sound to the ears.

Although everyone came to witness the festival, the position of the dignitaries and the common people was different.

Along the riverside there is a row of tall buildings, the highest of which can reach several zhang high.

According to different buildings and different heights, the charges are also different, for example, Weishu originally wanted to climb the highest floor.

But after learning that the price was 1,000 taels, he gave up, so he chose a relatively affordable position, but it still cost 200 taels.

"Eldest sister, are you spending a little too much money?"

After waiting upstairs, Wei Jin asked a little worriedly, after all, she also knew that the situation at home was not very optimistic now.

Wei Shu said, "Don't worry, the Wei family will definitely not collapse on the two hundred taels that you and I spent." ”
