Chapter 70: Fighting Back
The next day, Zhao Jun went out early in the morning and was busy until late at night and did not return home.
Another day passed in a blink of an eye, and it was evening again, but Zhao Jun still didn't return home.
The concubine turned around in the courtyard, but she couldn't help but come to Feng Wan's room and whispered, "Madam? ”
"Yes."
"Lord Lang has never returned...... Has this ever been the case before? ”
After a while in the room, Feng Wan's indifferent voice came, "Niang, you have overstepped." ”
You've made an appointment!
A concubine is not qualified to stare at the whereabouts of her husband like this, and she is not qualified to pester her wife to ask about her husband!
The woman was stunned, and her face was green and white.
Biting her lip, the concubine suddenly sneered: "Madam, but I am pregnant, jealous?" ”
The footsteps sounded softly, and the door opened with a "squeak", and Feng Wan, who was dressed with wide sleeves and a light smile, appeared in front of the woman.
Smiling at any time, Feng Wan's eyes were cold. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the familiar carriage coming from outside the mansion, she stared coldly at the woman, staring at her, almost suddenly, Feng Wan raised her right hand and slapped her in the face.
Where did the girl expect her to do it? At the next moment, he screamed, covered his cheeks left and right, angry and frightened, and tears overflowed.
She glared at Feng Wan and screamed, "You dare to hit me? ”
Isn't this lady so quiet that she seems to be non-existent? Didn't you always let people laugh at and make trouble, and didn't even say a few hard words? How could she, how could she beat herself?
The girl was shocked and angry, and screamed: "You hit me? Do you dare to hit me? Don't think you're a lady, you're just a chicken that can't lay eggs, and in the eyes of the husband, it's nothing! ”
Amid the screams, the concubines rushed out one after another.
"Hit you?"
Feng Wan sneered, she took a step forward, and when the concubine was scolding herself, her right hand was raised again, and it was another slap in the face!
"Slap", this slap is really crisp and loud!
didn't expect her to dare to do it, the girl covered her face and screamed.
In her screams of bitter anger, a carriage stopped in the courtyard, and at the same time, Zhao Jun's voice came, "What happened?" ”
The husband is back?
The concubine was overjoyed, she hurriedly turned around, covered her face and rushed to Zhao Jun with tears streaming down her face, and cried: "Husband, husband, you have to give me justice." ”
Calling here, she softened to the ground, clutched her stomach and cried out in pain: "Master, I am so painful, my stomach hurts so much, my child is afraid that it will not be saved."
Can't keep the child?
Zhao Jun was stunned, he stared at the girl and shouted, "What's the matter? “
Seeing that he was in love, the woman was overjoyed, she turned her head with tears in her eyes and pointed towards Feng Wan. "It was Madame, Madame who hit me. She was jealous that I was pregnant with my husband's child, and she deceived me while she was away! “
Wan Niang?
Zhao Jun frowned. He walked up to Feng Wan and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
In the voice, there is politeness and gentleness.
Almost as soon as Zhao Jun's voice came out, the happy woman cried loudly. Her eyes widened with tears wide, and she looked at Zhao Jun in disbelief and looked at Feng Wan.
No, you can. Yes and no. Can. Yes. There is such a thing! Obviously, the husband is extremely happy when he knows that he is pregnant, and the men in the world are very proud and careful at this time.
Zhao Jun's pettiness and the shock of the concubine were all taken into Feng Wan's eyes.
She smiled faintly: "If she hadn't expected Zhao Jun to have this reaction, how could she have swung those two slaps?" This man, just because of his own idea, he has been praised and affirmed by the Fifth Highness, it is when he is happy and proud to be grateful to himself, with his character, how can he offend and disobey himself at this time? ”
Lowering her eyes, Feng Wan was still gentle and quiet, and she asked: "The lady said to me: Don't think that you are a lady, you are the chicken you mean, in the eyes of the husband, it is nothing!" I listened to this and gave her a second slap. ”
As soon as Feng Wan's voice fell, the concubine screamed there: "It wasn't like this at first, what are you talking nonsense?" ”
Feng Wan ignored her screams, and she said to Zhao Jun: "If the husband doesn't believe it, you can ask Meiniang and them." ”
Zhao Jun didn't ask, he turned to the concubine, frowned and said, "Okay, get up, don't cry and make trouble here, what kind of system!" ”
When the concubine heard this, she was sad and angry, and she didn't get up, so she squatted on the ground and covered her stomach and screamed in pain.
This is, Mei Niang's voice came, "Oh yes, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Ming Ming just slapped you, why did you hurt so much in your stomach? ”
Juan'er also said on the side: "Yes, Madam is a careless person, she even slapped you twice, and she didn't even leave a mark." You've been doing well, why did the husband come and have a stomachache or something? ”
Amid the sarcasm of the two women, Feng Wan shook her head, and she said gently, "Go and ask the doctor to come." ”
"Yes"
She raised her head, saw Zhao Jun frowning slightly, smiled faintly, and said gently: "The master has been busy for two days, how is the effect?" ”
Her words reminded Zhao Jun, and he was happy at the moment, and said with a smile: "It's very effective." Striding in front of Feng Wan, he took Feng Wan's hand, and whispered as he walked towards the study: "Your Highness values me very much, he took me directly to see Your Majesty." Last night, I stayed in the palace. ”
Speaking of pride, he was really happy in his heart, and he laughed out loud when he had something. While smiling, he looked at Feng Wan and said with emotion: "Fortunately, there is Wan Niang." ”
Zhao Jun's previous words, the women couldn't understand, but the last few words, the girl still understood clearly.
At this time, Feng Wan's voice came softly, "The woman is pregnant with a child for her husband, which is a great joy. But her temperament is too intolerable, and it is not a blessing in the backyard. Husband, you will go to Meiniang and Juan'er's room more often, so that they can also add blessings to the husband. ”
She said it very bluntly.
Her voice is not small, not only can the maiden hear it clearly, but even Meiniang and Juan'er can hear it clearly.
All of a sudden, the three girls looked up at the two of them, only to hear Zhao Jun's smiling voice, "What Madame said is extremely true." ”
Although the tone was casual, she was really agreeing and affirming.
The husband didn't care about himself who had just been hurt!
The concubine only felt that a turbid air rushed, and before she knew it, her face turned white, and she was really soft to the ground.
Sitting on the ground, she didn't even dare to look up. She knew that Mei Niang and the others at this moment must be laughing at herself, looking at Mrs. gratefully, she was the most loyal to her Zuo'er, maybe she also had an idea in her heart.
Also, the world says that mothers are more precious than children, and they finally conceived their husband's children, and they should be cared for and gentle by him, so they can take advantage of this momentum to suppress the prestige of their wife in one fell swoop, forcing Meiniang and others to be submissive to themselves.
But why, is this the result? The husband didn't even care about the child, and only cared about being gentle and pleasing to his wife?
Thinking about it, a wisp of resentment quietly and silently washed the root of the Anle.
After Zhao Jun and Feng Wan stayed in the study for more than half an hour, Zhao Jun resigned from the author's carriage and came out of the door.
As soon as he went out, Feng Wan came out. Almost as soon as he showed up, Meiniang and Juan'er hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Looking at the two women's grateful and happy foreheads, Feng Wan smiled faintly, she glanced at the woman's room, and there was this obvious indifference and dislike in her eyes.
Mei Niang and the others glanced at each other, and thought: Now even the lady dislikes her, and the husband is a lady who listens to the lady. It seems that I don't have to be afraid of that mean woman anymore.
Feng Wan just glanced at it, and withdrew her gaze faintly, she stepped forward and got into the carriage.
As soon as she walked out of the house, she vaguely seemed to hear Mei Niang and others screaming and scolding at the woman.
Reaching out, she rubbed her brow.
She doesn't like this kind of struggle between women. However, she doesn't like to be bullied even more.
Once again, she just wants to stop letting anyone bully her!
The carriage walked steadily towards the western suburbs of Zhoufu.
When Feng Wan arrived, the door of the Zhou Mansion was wide open, and Uncle Zeng was talking to a big man, watching the big man leave, and he saw Feng Wan standing with a smile in a blink of an eye.
"Girl!"
Uncle Zeng walked over with a smile.
"Uncle, how is it?"
"Okay, okay." Uncle Zeng responded happily and said, "It's just that the girl is lonely, and there is no one available around, so Uncle is really worried." ”
Feng Wan was not as good as Fuzhong with him, and said, "Don't worry, I can live well alone." ”
When she came to a quiet place, she stopped, turned her head to look at Uncle Zeng, and Feng Wan said seriously: "Uncle, you go and get sixty gold leaves again, and buy a two-year edible grain and grass, eight horses, and four good cars." By the way, by the way, I bought some weapons for Zeng Xiu and them. ”
"Madame, do you want so much?"
Feng Wan nodded. When she asked all the way just now, sure enough, as she remembered, although the flood destroyed a lot of autumn grain, more grain had been sent to the capital from other places. The price of grain in the capital at this time was not higher than that of the autumn harvest.
However, a big war is coming soon, and when it arrives, the grain and grass will be more than five or six times more than now, and military supplies such as horses and iron tools will not be seen in the market.
It can be said that these few days are the best time to make a move. With this sum, she can advance or retreat for at least two years, and she will not worry about food and clothing, even if she has to move far away, she is also rich.
Seeing that she was so sure, Uncle Zeng immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it." He grinned and said happily: "Xiu'er happened to come back from Jiankang, if he knew that Mrs. had added weapons to them, maybe Mrs. would have to say that Mrs. was benevolent and righteous again." By the way, he said he wanted to meet his wife just now. ”
See me? It must have been for the woman he had escorted all the way to Jiankang.
Feng Wan smiled and said, "No hurry. ”
It's not a hurry, she knows too well what the identity of that woman is.
Uncle nodded.
The master and servant chatted for a while, and Feng Wan left and got into the carriage.
The western suburbs are relatively quiet, and along the way, countless ordinary people with straw and selling their sons and daughters lined up and knelt on both sides of the road.
…… Most of these people were victims of the floods.
When Feng Wan looked over, a pair of hungry and cold eyes became urgent and hot, and they shouted, kept kowtowing, crying and begging Feng Wan.
Feng Wan ignored it.
This kind of scene can be seen almost every day of his life: under the rule of the Hu people, selling children and daughters is just the most common situation for the common people.
Feng Wan returned to the mansion and explained a few words to the driver, nothing more than to ask him to shut up, say nothing, and return to the room.
It was late at night.
Feng Wan woke up in a burst of crying.
She sat up straight, reached for a robe and put it on, and was just about to collapse when she heard a very low, low sound of a snort.
The voice came to the place where the weeping was.
In the silence, a weak reassuring voice came, "Fuer, what's wrong with you?" ”
It's Zuo'er's voice.
Fuer sobbed, she cried too much, her voice was tearful, hoarse. "I, my mother can't do it anymore."
Zuo'er said loudly: "Don't be sad, everyone is like this, they will all die." ”
Fu'er shook his head and swallowed: "The doctor said that my mother's illness, as long as she has money, she is willing to spend money. But my family has no money. ”
There was Yuan Wei in her tone, and when the time came, Zuo'er said as a matter of course: "The poor are like this." They all died when they got sick and didn't get cured because they didn't have money. ”
"My mother is dead, and my father is very sad. He told me that the family's fields were almost sold for his mother's treatment, and they couldn't even eat. ”
Yes, at this time in his previous life, he stretched out his hand to help Fu'er's mother cure his illness, and when he saw that they had no land to cultivate, he thought that good people would do it to the end, so they would all be hired farmers and plant the fields they purchased for Zhao Fu.
At that time, Fu'er's expression of gratitude was still very fond of her. At that time, I thought that I had such a great kindness to Fuer, and looking at his situation, I would definitely be faithful to myself in this life.
Ironically, this is not the case.
Zuo'er was silent.
At this time, Fuer said bitterly: "God is so ruthless, why should she do this to me? Why am I so miserable? The voice was full of unwillingness.
Zuo'er can understand his unwillingness, Fu'er is a person who knows a lot of words, in this era, at least those who can read and write are not bad in the past, and some even have a real aristocratic background.
After a while, Zuo'er said loudly: "No way, we are too poor." ”
After a pause, she muttered, "My fourth sister had an illness when she was three years old, and my family was poor and there was no way to treat her, so she died. Later, the fifth brother also became ill, and my mother sold me to Zhaofu. ”
When she heard this, she suddenly said, "I'm different from you. ”
She hurriedly lowered her voice, but sobbed: "I'm unwilling, unwilling!" ”
There was silence.
After a while, Fuer murmured, "I still wanted to beg Madame, but somehow, when I saw her like that, I didn't dare." ”
Zuo'er said with a sigh: "But, Madame, she is also poor." ”
Fuer shook her head, and she whispered, "Somehow, I just believe that she is not poor. She didn't look like a poor person. Speaking of this, she said bitterly: "However, Madame just doesn't like me and doesn't want to help me." If she helped me, I would be willing to be a cow and a horse. This was said simply, Feng Wan even suspected that she deliberately cried like this in the middle of the night, just to let herself hear and arouse her sympathy.
After a while, Zuo Er said stupidly: "Fu'er, as soon as you open your mouth, you ask Mrs. for so many gold leaves, Mrs. has it, and she doesn't want you to make her a cow and a horse, well, those who are willing to make her a cow and a horse, there are many people on the street, they just want to have a full meal." ”
That's a sharp statement!
Listening to this quietly, Feng Wan was also stunned, for a long time, she sighed secretly, and felt that she was really a little stupid in her last life.
