Chapter 59: Into the Urn
In June, Zhaoyi City is bustling with activity.
There are a lot of people who sell melons and fruits, ice water and sugar water, as well as incense fans and silk lanterns.
After burning incense from Xiangguo Temple, Wei Yiwan and Aunt Mei got into the car.
There are many cars and horses on the street in front of Xiangguoji Temple, so the cars and horses of the Wei family go very slowly.
The coachman led the horse to carefully avoid pedestrians and vehicles, and the fourth lady said that there was no need to worry, then he must not be fast.
Because the fourth lady is now a celebrity in the house, no one dares to offend.
Now that the weather is hot, all the cars have been replaced with gauze curtains, and the flowers are painted on them, so even though they are thin, it is difficult to see the people in the car from the outside.
But when you look out from the inside of the car, you can see it clearly.
The carriage is paved with jade cushions and backrests of Xiangfei bamboo. It makes people feel cool and very comfortable.
Wei Yiwan leaned on the wall of the carriage, with a smile on her face, as if she was always sneering at something, she thought that this would make her look very tall.
She put another pearl shirt on top of the Xiangyun gauze shirt, using Hepu beads of excellent color.
This pearl shirt is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, to say the least, and it was given to her by the old lady of the Shao family.
Pearls are cool and detoxifying, pearl shirts are summer holy products, but the cost is too high, and ordinary people can't afford to wear them.
When Wei Yiwan wore this dress, she could envy the twin daughters of Yiroom and IKEA to death.
Wei Yiwan was not as mean as before, she just smiled slightly, but she couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart, these two concubines don't want to wear such luxurious clothes in their lives.
Aunt Mei followed to burn incense, knelt in the Daxiong Treasure Hall and worshipped again, I don't know what I asked, but I looked very pious.
Maybe she's begging her two daughters to get a good marriage! Wei Yiwan thought contemptuously, but this was obviously impossible.
The carriage moved forward unhurriedly, turning from Xiangguosi Street to Wufu Street, and the surroundings were much quieter.
Wei Yiwan remembered the scene of leaving the mansion this morning, cleared her throat, and asked, "Auntie, what kind of relative is that person in front of the mansion this morning?" ”
Aunt Mei smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's my cousin-in-law, but she just got married when I entered the mansion!" I haven't seen her a few times in total. The fourth lady also knows that I have always been out of the door, and I have already cut off contact with them. ”
The implication was that she didn't want to talk about it.
But Wei Yiwan was very interested, and continued to ask: "The emperor still has three poor relatives, what is there to be ashamed of." But why don't you see your cousin? ”
Aunt Mei's face was a little ugly, but she reluctantly coped: "My cousin is extremely unsuccessful, he only knows how to drink all day long, and he was already drunk to death a few years ago. At that time, I also gave a few taels of silver to burn, so I should pity him. If you don't mention it, it will pollute the girl's ears. ”
"What's this, it's idle anyway," Wei Yiwan smiled: "I didn't expect her to ask you for silver to really treat her daughter, and she actually looked at it." ”
Wei Yiwan felt that she was hiding it well, but in fact, her eyes couldn't help but glow.
Aunt Mei quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't take it too seriously, girl, they are all traveling doctors on the rivers and lakes, and they don't have any real skills." But I happened to catch up, and I didn't know how to treat it randomly. Who would go to a serious person to see a doctor like that! What if it's cured? ”
When Wei Yiwan heard her say this, she didn't ask any more questions.
Aunt Mei obviously didn't want to talk about this matter more, and she couldn't ask anything more.
After returning to the house and seeing her mother, Wei Yiwan went back to her residence to change her clothes, and called the maid Chunlan over and said, "Before dinner, you go out of the house to find the mother and daughter this morning." ”
Chunlan accompanied Wei Yiwan to Xiangguo Temple, so she naturally knew who the mother and daughter she was talking about.
"Girl, but Aunt Mei said that they are all doctors in the rivers and lakes, and they can't be believed." Chunlan felt that this matter was a little uncertain, as the saying goes, medicine is poisonous. In case something happens, she is afraid that she will be affected.
Wei Yiwan glared at her when she heard this, and reprimanded: "Whose maid are you?!" Shall I not move you? When did you listen to Aunt Mei like this? Can she be kind to me? She wished my hair was all gone! Are you doing it for my own good? Fart! She clearly didn't want me to get what I wanted. ”
"Miss, I'm thinking about you too! How can you, a noble person, go to see those traveling doctors? Chunlan said.
"I never knew you were so considerate of me!" Wei Yiwan's voice became more and more sharp: "Tell you, if I recognize something, I must do it!" You'd better be obedient to me, or I'll send you to the pulp washroom!" ”
The work in the pulp washing room was the most tiring and hard, and my hands were soaked in sewage all day long, and in winter I was all frostbitten.
The maids around Wei Yiwan have always been afraid of her, but now that she said this, Chunlan didn't dare to say anything more.
"You also heard from the poor woman, the two of them are now working in the peach blossom alley in the back street, you will definitely find it if you inquire there." Wei Yiwan thought she was smart and said, "Aunt Mei thinks that if she doesn't go down, I can't do anything?" Blind dog thing! ”
"Girl, what about when you find the woman?" Chunlan asked cautiously.
"Nonsense, of course it's to find out where she is seeing a doctor!" Wei Yiwan glared at Chunlan and said, "It's a big deal, give her a few dollars and ask her to take you over." Those dead poor ghosts can support them with a penny or two, so that they can go around. If you can't do that, get me out into the lower class room as soon as possible!" ”
Chunlan hurriedly agreed, saying that she remembered it.
Wei Yiwan rolled her eyes and said, "When you come back, I'll tell you." It must be kept secret, and no one else should know it. If the woman asks you who you are, you must not tell her. Do you hear that? ”
"Why is that?" Chunlan didn't understand.
"You've got a rusty head! How can this be known to anyone casually? If someone has a bad heart, don't I give up all my efforts?! ”
Wei Yiwan didn't want to make a fuss, she wanted to hide it from everyone, and wait until her hair was like a cloud, so that they would be surprised.
"Let's go! It's done, you're my dowry girl! Wei Yiwan generously promised.
This is equivalent to telling Chunlan that she will be the aunt of the Shao family in the future.
Wei Yiwan dared to agree to this matter because she knew her status in the Shao family, and she said that who she wanted to be her aunt's wife was just a matter of one sentence, and she didn't even have to ask for her in-laws' opinions.
For the maids, it's like ascending to the sky.
Chunlan listened, and hurriedly turned around, her face flushed because she was shy, and more because she was happy.
