"You said Aunt Jin is pregnant?" Luo Qingrong divided the hand of the colored thread for a moment, and complained, but his grandmother actually knocked his father, "Don't you know in Shuiju?" ”
"Well, Aunt Jin is hiding it tightly, it seems that she just told Qingtaiyuan, and even the third girl doesn't know," Shi Lu looked worried, this wife and concubine are fighting, it is full of tricks, it is better not to affect her own miss.
"This is a good thing," the rich mother stretched out her hand and moved the narcissus in front of Luo Qingrong to the half-human-high flower table by the window, "In this family, there should be more children and more blessings, for you, girl, there are more brothers, and there will be more people who can help in the future, but, alas~" This should be the most child-rearing, but there is no movement at all.
She's going to be sad, right? Luo Qingrong tried not to let herself feel sympathy for Zhang Lan, she was Liang Yuanke's side concubine, and she stupidly thought that she had "loved" with him, so she naturally could understand Zhang Lan's mood after she knew, just like back then, when she knew from Shi Liangzhen that she was pregnant before herself, the only feeling was that she wanted to find Liang Yuanke to cry, that child was like a loud slap that Liang Yuanke gave her, but she believed it again, that child was the result of Shi Liangzhen's careful thinking, even if the child was born, In the future, she and his son will not pose the slightest threat, I believe what Liang Yuanke said, a child is just a compensation for the Shi family, and a child is a comfort to Shi Liangzhen, after all, he and she are not ruthless people, after all, his great cause is inseparable from the support of the Shilin leader Shi Jia~
What will happen to Zhang Lan when she encounters this kind of thing? In the previous life, after Luo Xuyang was born, his father met Lan Ruo, I remember that when my father said that he wanted to welcome Lan Ruo into the door, Zhang Lan found Ning Wangfu and cried, saying that she didn't expect that such a thing would happen, she asked herself, is there no consistent love in the world? At that time, because she and Liang Yuanke had a Shi Liangzhen between them, she also sighed a lot, after all, the person who wanted to take a concubine was her father, Luo Qingrong still comforted Zhang Lan in a good way, hoping that she could turn a blind eye and forgive her father this time.
What will she do in this life? Luo Qingrong didn't dare to think about it, I was afraid that it would make a fuss again, she didn't allow her father to approach the two aunts before, but now that Aunt Jin is pregnant, the nature of the matter is different, Luo Qingrong sighed, just like Zhang Lan said in her previous life, "Men are reliable, sows can go up trees," what do you want to be a couple for a lifetime? It's just boring. But the woman, while calmly saying that men can't believe it, is stupidly trapped, stupidly believing in men's words.
"Steward Xiao's stewardship should be relieved in advance," Luo Qingrong called Shi Lu, Zhang Lan can't stand the double betrayal of her husband and subordinates now, so let Xiao Shan be free for a while.
Zhang Lan lay on the bed in despair, according to her temperament, she would pack her luggage and leave this disgusting rich place as soon as possible, and leave this man who has a set of mouths and a set of backs, love? She sneered, but tears couldn't stop flowing down her cheeks, Zhang Lan only felt that it was pitch black in front of her, just like Su's mother persuaded her, she had no way to go at all, but staying here, watching another woman carrying her husband's child to show off her power in front of her, it was really sadder than killing her.
"Didn't you say that? I don't want to see anyone," Zhang Lan felt in the dark that someone was walking towards her, and her heart was slightly relieved, thinking that Luo Yuanpeng had come to apologize to her.
When Luo Yuanpeng told Zhang Lan, Aunt Jin was pregnant, Zhang Lanzhen felt that she had been slapped hard, thinking of the unusually quiet house these days, she was still happy that Jin Lingyun was dead, who knew that she was waiting for her here? And Luo Yuanpeng, the man who dared to risk the world's disapproval for himself, two years later, he relived the dream of the little concubine in front of him several times, and when he was running around all day to earn a new world for this family, he shamefully betrayed himself! Thinking of Luo Yuanpeng's attitude at that time, Zhang Lan only felt that all thoughts were lost, and no amount of kindness and friendship was worth a piece of meat in the woman's stomach.
"Mother, it's me,"
"Luo Qingrong? What are you here to do? Isn't it ridiculous? Am I now? Zhang Lan got up from the bed violently, "Do you think you won't encounter such a thing in the future?" Jokes, don't be too presumptuous! ”
"Rouge, palm lamp, I'm not used to being dark," Luo Qingrong didn't answer Zhang Lan's words, and waited for Rouge to light the candle and withdraw quietly, before Yingying sat down opposite Zhang Lan.
"What jokes do I have to watch? Mrs. Hou of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an was furious because the concubine at home was pregnant, is this a rumor very good? As for me, no matter who I marry in the future, I will not lose the position of wife, and for the rest, my mother doesn't have to worry about it, at least I won't be like my mother, sad and crying for my husband's concubine, "The experience of two lives has made her see men clearly, how can she be stupid to think that there will be a man who is willing to guard a woman's life?"
"I don't believe that those people in the main family will like their husbands and concubines, but they can pretend, and this kind of blind marriage and dumb marriage, where is there any relationship to talk about, it can't be sad," Zhang Lan was a little suspicious of Luo Qingrong's origin, which modernly educated woman can withstand this kind of thing?
"They can pretend, why wouldn't you? Which of them is not more noble than you? Even the princess has to pretend, why can't you? Is there no emotion in a blind and dumb marriage? If you haven't seen your husband before marriage, won't you be sad? The lights were thick, Luo Qingrong's apricot eyes narrowed slightly, her face was full of disdain, she was really stupid, after all, she still remembered Zhang Lan's sincerity to herself in the past, and came to persuade her to wake up as soon as possible.
"Because, you don't know why? This is something that melts into my bones, I can't do it with someone to serve a husband," Zhang Lan shouted, tears coming out of her eyes again, "It turns out that you don't understand, you don't understand, naturally you don't know my pain~" She once thanked the sky, not only gave her a chance to be reborn, but also gave her a perfect lover, she once thought that she was a step to the sky, it turned out that the prince and the gray story is really only in fairy tales.
"It's very simple to do it," watching the beloved man go to someone else's room, how could he not have experienced such pain, "If you don't want to see the arrogant concubine, and disdain to compete with those women who can't be on the stage, you can go to live in the village tonight, or go directly to the family temple to live in the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, of course, according to your temperament, you definitely don't want to spend your life like this, so it's best to leave, don't you have a dim sum shop?" Relying on that, plus the dowry when he married into the Luo family, he can also have no worries about food and clothing. ”
Some transformations are accompanied by the pain of peeling skin and scraping bones, but the earlier such a transformation, the better for the Luo family and Zhang Lan.
Relying on his own dowry of 10,000 taels? And the shop on Hongyun Street? mentioned her net worth, Zhang Lan calmed down, from the moment Luo Yuanpeng told her that Jin Lingyun was pregnant and asked her to take good care of her concubine, Zhang Lan was full of thoughts about leaving, she also carefully calculated how she would live after leaving, 10,000 taels of silver are mostly clothing and jewelry, and the current silver is only 2,000, according to Zhang Lan's vision of Mrs. Hou now, this money is nothing at all, and the shop on Hongyun Street, after the New Year, the business is not as good as one day, this West Point, the craft is cumbersome, she invited two masters to come back and teach slowly, Now it's not unsatisfactory, she has to go into battle in person during the New Year, and now as soon as the year is over, sales will plummet, and she also rented two floors to use, and now I find that no one wants to go upstairs to drink drinks and see the scenery, because most of the people who come to buy West Pastries in their shops are domestic slaves from various prefectures.
In this way, can you go out on your own? A lone woman? Zhang Lan couldn't help but hesitate, "Leave, do you think it's easy to leave?" I'm Mrs. Wu'anhou, everyone in this capital knows it, where will your father's face go? ”
Luo Qingrong is no longer the little girl who admired Zhang Lan back then, how could she not hear Zhang Lan's words? To put it bluntly, I still can't bear to be full of prosperity,
"It turns out that it's because of this, you can rest assured of this, let's be honest, everyone is not optimistic about how long you, Mrs. Hou, will be at all, if your father reconciles with you, I'm afraid that the whole capital will take it for granted, no one will say anything, not to mention that you have been married to the Luo family for more than two years, and no son and half daughter have been born, and there is nothing to worry about when you leave."
"You don't want me here like that? What did I do to your hindrance in the Luo family? Zhang Lan stared at Luo Qingrong hatefully, what she said was not at all like what a ten-year-old girl said, "Do you need to be so mean?" ”
"Mother doesn't have to be annoyed," Luo smiled lightly, his eyes full of banter, "Aren't I helping you analyze?" People, the most fearful thing is that they can't see their own position clearly. ”
Zhang Lan seemed to have been slapped hard, her face was flushed, she used to be a junior high school teacher, how many students couldn't lift their heads by her training, but I didn't expect to be choked by a little girl here, "I won't go, I won't do what you want, just like you said, up and down this house, no, up and down in this capital, no one thinks I should be Mrs. Wu'an, then let me tell you, this Mrs. Hou I really sit down!" No one will try to get rid of me! ”
"You don't have a strong family behind you, and you don't have biological children under your knees, if your father wants to divorce you, do you think you can stop you? Don't tell me anything about hanging in front of the Luo family," Luo Qingrong stood up, "Think about what I said, what should you do in the Luo family?" As for what kind of shop you have, how much silver you have earned, and how much of a role this silver can play for the Luo family, you can also calculate it clearly, if there is no signboard of Wu'an Hou Mansion, do you think your shop will be opened? ”
Glancing at Zhang Lan who was sitting on the edge of the bed, Luo Qingrong sighed in his heart, I hope this time I can wake her up, after all, she is the person her father really likes, and she has once again made herself feel the care of her mother, many things are changing in this life, Luo Qingrong hopes that the Luo family can also change earlier, so as to avoid that disaster.
