Chapter 9 Substitution into the Shen Mansion
"Mother, I'm back." Li Lian'er entered the house, put the clothes in the wooden basin on the ground, and didn't have time to dry, so she went to report to her mother first.
Li Lian'er's mother is in her forties, and she is busy with farm affairs, so she has to do everything herself, so she looks older. However, from the face shape and contour, it can be seen that when Liu was young, he must have been a beauty. No wonder Li Lian'er is also handsome.
Li Lian'er took Chu Shuyao to see her mother and introduced her mother, "Mother, this is Yao Shu, the family suffered a disaster, and she fled all the way to come to us. The two of us talk speculatively. And I've told her everything I've been going through. She knew what I was struggling with, so she thought of a way for me. ”
Li Lian'er's mother, Liu, suddenly became nervous when she heard Li Lian'er say this. She wanted to reprimand Li Lian'er for saying everything.
This kind of thing spreads out, but it is the crime of bullying the king, and it will be lost in the head.
But because Chu Shuyao was in front of her, she didn't say much.
can only stare at Chu Shuyao tightly, as if she wants to see if she has any other thoughts from her. So as to judge, whether Chu Shuyao will become a threat.
And Chu Shuyao immediately rushed to speak, she first greeted Liu, "Hello aunt"
Then he went straight to the point, "I'm alone, living on the streets, eating the last meal and not the next." The place Lian'er said may not be the best choice for others. But there's no better place for me to go. After all, I am helpless, I am a person who can fight for my life without scruples. ”
Liu looked at Chu Shuyao, her face was solemn, and after a long time, she nodded, "The place left and right is not a good place for Lian'er." A simple child like Lian'er, if he goes to a place where he eats people and doesn't spit out bones, I'm afraid he won't live long. ”
"If the girl is willing to go through that grinding for Lian'er, then our family is grateful to the girl."
Liu's ability to say such a thing surprised Chu Shuyao.
For the people of the world, the palace is the best place to go. Glory and wealth, enjoy inexhaustible.
And how can this woman understand so much that the palace is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones?
Although she had doubts in her heart, she could not show it on the surface. just couldn't help but say, "Thank you aunt for your success, Yao Shu is grateful." ”
Liu suddenly asked her, "Your name, but my fair lady's aunt?" The quiet girl's sister? ”
Chu Shuyao was amazed that this peasant woman was full of poetry and books, and for a while, she didn't know how to ask in detail. can only follow the words, "Yao is the Yao of the female omen, not from the "Guan Ju" article in the "Book of Songs". The word Shu is indeed from Jing Nu Qishu. ”
"Good, good, good." Liu said three good words in succession. Nodding his head in admiration, "It seems that you and your parents are also people who read poetry and books." ”
Chu Shuyao knew that the Liu family was already suspicious of her identity, and similarly, she was also suspicious of the Liu family's identity.
It is much more convenient for two smart people to talk.
Chu Shuyao said unhurriedly, "Aunt is also a learned person. ”
Li Lian'er listened to the conversation between the two and was a little confused. She also sensed that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
At this time, Li Tieniu came back from the field, and as soon as he entered the yard, he opened his throat and shouted, "Mother, is the meal ready?" I'm starving. ”
Liu stood up and responded as he walked towards the kitchen, "The meal has already been prepared, just waiting for you to come back." ”
He also instructed him, "When there is a guest in the house, be careful when you speak." ”
"Guests? What guests? Li Tieniu's voice became louder. He wondered what other guests would come to his poor family.
rushed straight to the main house, and saw Chu Shuyao such a delicate beauty.
was stunned for a moment, then blushed, turned around and ran out.
In his opinion, such a girl sitting at home must be the future daughter-in-law introduced to him.
But he just came back from the field, and he looked disgraced, so he didn't have to frighten people.
Li Tieniu thought like this, and no matter if the weather was still a little cold, a fierce man plunged into the river and went to take a bath.
By the time Li Tieniu came back tremblingly, the food on the table had already been eaten.
Liu seemed to have guessed his son's thoughts, and he didn't give him a good look, but only instructed, "What about the food in the pot?" Let's go eat it! ”
Li Tieniu's eyes were still staring at Chu Shuyao. Liu directly pushed him out.
At night, Chu Shuyao and Li Lian'er were crowded into the same bed, Li Lian'er fell asleep quickly, but Chu Shuyao couldn't fall asleep over and over.
In the dead of night, Liu suddenly came over and knocked on the door, "Miss Yao, are you asleep?" ”
Chu Shuyao knew that Liu had something to say, so she didn't dare to wake up Li Lian'er, so she quickly got out of bed quietly and opened the door before talking.
"Auntie, what are you looking for me?"
"Let's go! Go to my house and talk about it. ”
After the two of them sat together, Liu went straight to the point, "Ming people don't say secret words." Miss Yao, I can guess that your identity is extraordinary, in short, you definitely did not flee. ”
Chu Shuyao showed a gentle smile, "I won't hide it from you, I do have an identity that can't be said." But don't worry, I won't affect your family. ”
Liu pondered for a long time before nodding heavily, "As the saying goes, there is no doubt in employing people, but not in doubt." I believe in the girl. ”
Chu Shuyao relaxed at this time, and asked jokingly, "Presumably aunt, she is also extraordinary, right?" ”
Liu sighed slightly, "You're right, my life is not good. In the first half of his life, he enjoyed a blessed life. The second half of life is the name of suffering. To tell you the truth, I was also a young lady of the official family in the past, but once the family was convicted, the whole family was implicated. ”
"Am I the best of my cousins? Although he endured hardships and poverty, at least he did not have a concubine room and was rubbed by his mother. did not fall into that dusty place, and could not hold up his head for the rest of his life. ”
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, in my current life situation, or did I plan it with careful calculation?"
"One of my cousins used to be the favorite concubine of the first emperor, but what about the favorite concubine? The companion is like a tiger, and if he says that he will be executed, he will be executed. So I didn't dare to let my daughter go to the tiger and wolf's den again. ”
"Miss Yao is willing to replace, and I have only gratitude in my heart. But there is one thing, no matter what the future of the girl is, I do not expect to get the girl's benefits, only hope that the girl will be in trouble. Don't drag our family into the water. ”
Chu Shuyao immediately made a serious look, "I swear, I will never drag your family into the water." You are my benefactors. ”
Chu Shuyao's attitude was sincere, which made Liu relax a little.
"Okay, I don't care what you want to do when you enter the palace? As long as it has nothing to do with our family, it's done. ”
"The people of the Shen family will come to pick you up the day after tomorrow and go to the Shen Mansion to learn the rules. After all, there are still three months left, and the draft will begin. Three months to learn the rules, the time is also a little tighter. ”
"Where are the daughters born and raised by the farmer who are pampered, let alone learning the rules, they can't even eat a few full meals. So it's hard to learn the rules of that young lady! ”
Chu Shuyao knew that Liu was mentioning her. When learning the rules, you have to deliberately hide it, so as not to make the people of the Shen family suspicious.
I just don't know how Liu saw it. can actually guess that she used to live a pampered life.
During the time she came to Tanglin, she had already given birth to cocoons from her soft jade hands and the roughness of sharpening. Whether it is in the palace or among the people, don't they all use this method to distinguish the origin of a woman?
Chu Shuyao didn't know that her all-encompassing temperament had already betrayed her.
In the past few days living in Li Lian'er's house, Chu Shuyao felt for the first time that such an ordinary life could be so impressive.
On weekdays, Li Tieniu goes to the fields to farm, Liu's takes care of housework, and Li Lian'er will also sit for Liu's work.
For example, going up the mountain to cut pigweed, going to the river to wash clothes.
Chu Shuyao likes to accompany Li Lian'er to feed those chickens and ducklings, which is really interesting.
Although there is no life of fine clothes and fine food, coarse tea and light rice will make people feel comfortable!
Is it any wonder that most of the worldly masters who have retreated to the mountains and forests have lived a long life? Stay away from the land of right and wrong, be in a good mood, and live a long life naturally.
Soon, the Shen family came to pick it up.
The Shen family didn't care which girl the Liu family wanted to send over, their housewife had already instructed them to choose a girl with a better appearance.
Otherwise, if it is sent to the palace in the name of the Shen Mansion, it will not make people laugh, and it will not be easy to discuss the eldest lady.
Seeing that the Liu family pushed Chu Shuyao out, the grandmother who came to pick people nodded with satisfaction. I thought to myself, this peasant woman is sensible and knows how to send a beautiful girl over.
The grandmother was still thinking in her heart, this girl was really beautiful, although she was coarse cloth clothes, her temperament was not reduced at all. This appearance can be compared with the eldest lady in the house.
The Shen Mansion gave the Li family a lot of money, and with this money, the Li family's life would no longer be so miserable. Li Tieniu and Li Lian'er's marriage, marriage, and marriage.
At the time of parting, Chu Shuyao and Li Lian'er were reluctant to give up. In just a few days, the two have established a deep friendship.
Li Lian'er choked up, "Shu'er, you have to be good." ”
Chu Shuyao's face was also full of emotion, "Lian'er, you must be happy." ”
Li Tieniu watched Chu Shuyao get into the Shen family's carriage, and his heart suddenly became empty. Although he knew that he was not worthy of Miss Yao.
Then he thought about it again, people like Miss Yao want to be happy. What do you want to do with this! Let's listen to my mother's words and marry a daughter-in-law and go home to live!
Along the way, the grandmother who came to pick up people taught Chu Shuyao a lesson, and her name was instructed by her wife to inform the girl of some rules in advance. The girl from the province has just entered the house, she doesn't know anything, she is in a hurry, and it makes people laugh.
In this regard, Chu Shuyao naturally guessed that the head of the Shen family wanted to give herself a dismissal.
After all, she is just a peasant girl, and being able to enter the palace for the draft is because she burned high incense in her previous life.
The Shen family wants her to be grateful to Dade, and at the same time, if she becomes rich one day, she must not be able to forget the great kindness of the Shen family.
She thought that although the Shen family was reluctant to let their biological daughter enter the palace, sending her into the palace would cheapen her. The people of the Shen family are naturally unwilling.
Presumably, the three months she spent in the Shen Mansion would not be easy.
