Chapter 222: Shabby Dress
Once, when ironing clothes, she actually forgot the red-hot soldering iron on her clothes, and the clothes were burned out of a hole, so that Zhao Sanjian had to apologize to the guests and have to compensate.
"How did you do it! If this continues, I won't be able to do this job! ”
Zhao Sanjian yelled at her angrily, she simply left the child and ran out to hang out alone.
Her boredom was not without reason. finally had a man she liked beckoning to her, but there was a child, and a poor and old man - Zhao Sanjian tied her hands and feet, it was uncomfortable to walk, and it was uncomfortable to stay, Ding Shujiao felt confused and lost.
After the loss, there is loneliness.
Ding Shujiao often thinks, what will be the end of this loss of life? Despair? Or is it another flame of hope that burns again? Faced with this problem, Ding Shujiao finally chose to remain silent.
This loss also lies in the fact that she met Mrs. Mine on the street by chance.
Small shops.
She hadn't bought a headdress for a long time, she didn't have any decent clothes, and she didn't have a good-looking headdress, which she used to have before, when she was in the Meng family, although it was pitiful, but she still had it, of course, she was basically asked to leave by her father.
After coming out of the Meng family, the limited ones were also forced by her to sell them for money because of life.
She was about to forget, but since she met Liu Yunsheng, she had the desire to wear beautiful clothes and a beautiful headdress. To put it simply, she wants to please him, she wants to be seductive and pursued by him, and she is not very demanding, she doesn't need anyone else, as long as it is him.
The beautiful jade bracelets, pearl chains, and jade hairpins that the shopkeeper posed all attracted her attention, and she seemed to see herself, wearing a swaying pearlescent hairpin in front of Liu Yunsheng.
"I wonder which one you like?" The shopkeeper asked.
"I, oh, I'll think again!"
Ding Shujiao hesitated, estimating the money in her pocket, and hesitated.
A richly dressed lady stood next to her, also looking at the headdresses.
"Do you want this jade step, or don't you want it? If you don't, I'll do it! The woman asked, pointing her finger at the ornament in her hand.
"This?"
"Yo! It's you! Isn't this Ding Shujiao, the young grandmother of the Meng family? ”
Ding Shujiao was stunned for a moment, and after a closer look, the woman who was talking in front of her recognized that it was none other than Mrs. Mine.
Mrs. Mine is still dressed as a graceful and wealthy lady, with a ruddy face, a Danfeng gold step swayed obliquely inserted in her bright hair, jade beads, shining, wearing a brocade red luan pattern robe, everywhere looks extremely luxurious. Compared with her, Ding Shujiao looked much shabby, she just wore a plain old skirt casually, and she didn't apply powder.
"Ah, it's Mrs. Mine! Yes! I haven't seen you in a long time! ”
Looking at Mrs. Mine, she couldn't help lowering her head slightly, and barely squeezed out a smile, at this time, Ding Shujiao couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Mrs. Mine was still so rich, and she was really miserable in front of her. Without contrast, there is no imbalance in the heart. With contrast, the imbalance in the heart is like the waves on the sea, undulating and surging, even magnificent.
A woman's jealousy and psychological imbalance can often be devastating.
"I've been to Meng's house a few times, but I haven't seen you! Are you not in the Meng family? Mrs. Mine looked Ding Shujiao up and down.
"It's long gone!"
"Alas! The second young master of the Meng family died a pitiful death! You also suffer with him! It's okay to leave! Went back to your parents' home? ”
"Not either!"
"So, where are you now? What do you do for a living? ”
"I'm in. . . Run a small business! ”
"Small business? Small business is also good! You can have a living and live
! It's just that you, a young grandmother from a rich family, can endure that kind of suffering? ”
There was a look of surprise in Mrs. Mine's eyes.
"Hmmm! Also, it's okay! ”
Ding Shujiao glanced at Mrs. Mine and whispered.
"What kind of business are you doing?" Mrs. Mine asked.
"It's just.."
Ding Shujiao's eyes wandered, she couldn't go on, how could she say it! said that following an old tailor who made a living by selling coolies would make Mrs. Mine a big joke, and soon the streets and alleys would know that she couldn't afford to lose this person.
Mrs. Mine was a shrewd person, and she had already seen something, and she didn't bother her too much.
What is she doing?
Where to stay?
Mrs. Mine guessed seven or eight points correctly by herself, in her opinion, this Ding Shujiao is not a serious woman, it is estimated that she may be following a wild man! So, she didn't ask more about her situation.
She changed the subject.
"Young grandma, no matter where you go, it's better than staying in Mengfu!"
These words made Ding Shujiao a little stunned.
"What's wrong with the Meng Mansion?"
"Why, you don't know what happened in Mengfu?"
Ding Shujiao shook her head, "Not long after the second young master died, I left!" ”
"Thank you for leaving! This place in Mengfu is unlucky! Later, there were several incidents, but it was scary! Mrs. Mine paused when she said this, "First of all, Qiu Shui'er drugged the second wife's meal, and the good child in her belly was gone!" ”
"Huh? The second wife had a miscarriage again! ”
"Hmmm! Qiu Shui'er knew that she was guilty and hanged herself! ”
"Qiu Shui'er hanged?" The corners of Ding Shujiao's mouth hooked up with an imperceptible smile, "This girl is scheming and has died well!" ”
"The eldest lady is no longer in the Meng family, do you know?"
"Really?"
"What? It's such a big deal, and you really don't have any news at all? The neighborhood spread that Master Meng didn't allow her to stay in Meng's house anymore! ”
Hearing the news, Ding Shujiao was stunned for a long time, until she reacted, and there seemed to be a trace of timidity in her heart in addition to curiosity.
She, too, is today!
"I really don't know!"
"You can't even think of it! The second wife's child has flowed again! The master had the heart to investigate this time, and he really found out that it was the medicine given by the girl in Qiushui'er! The old man was angry, the girl was all recruited, and the medicine was left after the eldest lady drugged the second wife and aborted the first child! Master Meng originally wanted to hand over the eldest lady to the government, but for the sake of the relationship between husband and wife for many years, he coaxed her out of the house! You name it! This kind of thing can happen to a family! It's a wise move for you to leave the Meng family! Alas! Poor Master Meng, the two children are gone! ”
"And where can she go? So old! Ding Shujiao asked.
"I heard that I jumped into the river! I don't have the face to see people again! ”
"Huh? Jumped into the river? ”
"Hmmm! It was found in the river outside the city! Someone crossed the river by boat, and saw that there was algae-like things in the middle of the river slowly floating up from the bottom of the boat, more and more, and if you looked closely, it was a strand of hair, scattered in the water, fluttering, half-covered and half-covered was a woman's face, and everyone was frightened! When I fished it up, I saw that everyone was soaked and deformed! The corpse that the next person went to recognize, Master Meng bought a thin-skinned coffin and let people bury it hastily! ”
"Where are you buried?"
"Mass graves outside the city!" Mrs. Mine glanced at Ding Shujiao, "Why are you asking so clearly?" Are you going to go to her grave? ”
Ding Shujiao suddenly laughed, her forehead and the corners of her mouth were wrinkled with laughter, she shook her head lightly and said, "Maybe!" ”
Mrs. Mine's eyes widened, "I know, she didn't fix you!" You're going to grave her? ”
"Nope! I'm just interested in her dark hair! She tore at my head
Hair, I want her hair too! Her hair is thick and thick, and she can use it! Ding Shujiao said faintly.
Mrs. Mine was stunned.
"What do you say? Why didn't I understand? ”
"Nothing! Just say it! ”
Mrs. Mine let out a long sigh, "I know you're talking angry!" I have been dating your eldest wife for so long, even I didn't expect that she would be so vicious! This will be the end! ”
Ding Shujiao's eyelids raised slightly, and she looked at her motionlessly: "She is already dead!" Sooner or later, she would die! ”
"Forget it! Don't talk about her, how are you? Mrs. Mine accidentally changed the topic back, "You've changed so much!" Are you having a bad time? Why are you dressed so simply? How did your hands become so rough! Women should take care of themselves! ”
Mrs. Mine always speaks very straight, which makes Ding Shujiao very faceless.
"Oh, just a casual walk! It's not elaborate to dress up! ”
"I say! Young grandma wasn't like this before! Every time I see you, you are dressed decently and exquisitely! Well, where do you live now? ”
"Staying.. Stayed with one of my cousins. It's not early, I have something to do and go first, you can watch slowly! ”
"Good!"
Ding Shujiao almost escaped from the small shop.
She gasped for breath and walked several streets in a row before slowing down. There seems to be a chasm between her and Mrs. Mine, a chasm between the poor and the rich. She had a kind of poor man's embarrassment, and the moment she saw a headdress, but had to think carefully about the money in her pocket, Mrs. Mine asked for the headdress without thinking, the loss began to follow her.
Inadvertently living a poor life, she must live on a budget, doing the menial work she used to instruct others to do, cooking around the stove, doing laundry, waiting for the damned old tailor. The more Ding Shujiao thought about it, the more aggrieved she became! Zhao Sanjian is really old, her face is gray, her body is slumped, even her hair is almost bald, her head is shining, and she is wearing a pair of mirrors.
What Ding Shujiao didn't expect was that Mrs. Mine actually followed her quietly.
Mrs. Mine's curiosity is understandable.
She is a frequent visitor to the Meng family, and Mrs. Mine has long heard of the departure of Ding Shujiao, the young grandmother of the Meng family. When they met just now, Ding Shujiao's prevarication aroused Mrs. Mine's curiosity to find out. It wasn't until she walked into Zhao Sanjian's tailor shop that she stopped.
Her cousin?
Who doesn't know Tailor Zhao!
Could it be that Zhao Sanjian is her cousin? Who believes!
Still is..
Mrs. Mine shook her head, no! She wondered, could it be that this dissolute woman had been reduced to the point of messing with a half-hundred-year-old tailor?
met Mrs. Mine, Ding Shujiao's heart can be described as mixed! The eldest wife, who has always made her hateful, is dead! This made her extremely excited, but the excitement was soon replaced by the nameless fire in her heart. As soon as she saw the graceful and luxurious Mrs. Mine, this fire had already risen inexplicably in her heart, and the fire always had to be vented, and the object of venting was undoubtedly Zhao Sanjian, not to mention that he worked poorly all day long, nor did he go to her bed (of course, she was not interested in it by chance), and he couldn't make money.
No, he should have some money! She thought!
The moment the door was closed, Ding Shujiao snuggled up to the door and stayed with her eyes closed for a long time.
In front of Mrs. Mine, she is so shabby, as if it is Zhao Sanjian's fault that she has changed from the young grandmother of the Meng family to the current rough woman, and now she has nothing! This series of grievances turned into anger, reflecting her face flushed.
