Pan'er stayed in the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and in order not to worry Chu Liang, the Lin family sent a guard to the ruined village to deliver the letter.
Poor Chu Liang braved the wind and snow and returned to Zhuangzi from the camp in the north of the city, just to hold the fragrant and soft little daughter-in-law in his arms, even if Pan'er came to a small day, he couldn't really enjoy it, but being with his daughter-in-law was better than being in the barracks against those rough men.
I didn't think that I had just returned to the small courtyard, Mrs. Qian brought tea up, he took a sip, glanced around, and didn't find the slender figure, his thin lips pursed, and he asked in a low voice:
"Why don't you see Madame?"
"Madame went to the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion at noon, and I don't know when I will come back." As she spoke, Mrs. Qian secretly glanced at the general with her eyes, and found that the man's face was slightly gloomy, so she hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to look more.
Chu Liang held back a fire in his heart, and he couldn't wait to rush to the capital on a horse, and directly kidnap his little daughter-in-law back, seeing that it was about to get dark, it was still snowing outside the house, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, he was really relieved.
Just thinking about it, a guard came from outside the house, was brought into the house, first saluted Chu Liang, and said: "General, Madame will stay in the Hou Mansion tonight, you don't have to worry." ā
Hearing the guard's words, Chu Liang's face distorted, and he quickly returned to normal, but it was a pity that the big palm on his knee was clenched into a fist, and he didn't mean to relax for a while.
It was getting late, and the guards stayed in the abandoned village for the night, and the two mothers-in-law in the kitchen lived for so many years, although the cooking skills did not make much progress, but they were not stupid, and naturally they would not touch the general's moldy head, and they all shrank in the kitchen to do their work, and they did not dare to meet with Chu Liang.
The candle in the room went out, and Chu Liang lay on the bed, tossing and turning, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
After getting used to the darkness in the house, he could faintly see the coat hanging on the wooden frame, which the little daughter-in-law had only worn yesterday, and before he had time to wash it, there was a faint fragrance of roses in the room, although it was not strong, but it was like a feather, and it tickled Chu conscience.
After tossing for more than half an hour, the man's heart became more and more anxious, and Pan'er's face kept appearing in his mind.
Speaking of which, the two have been married for several years, and he is not the kind of hairy boy who doesn't understand people, but his daughter-in-law is not around, his whole heart is empty, and he always feels that something is missing.
Ying Ting's sword eyebrows were furrowed, Chu Liang suddenly turned over and got out of bed, quickly put on his clothes, pushed the door and led the horse out of the small courtyard.
As the man went out, the wolf and the mastiff, who were scurrying in the yard, also saw him, and the two beasts were lying on the haystack, raising their eyelids, but they did not move.
Chu Liang turned over and rode on the horse's back, his long legs clamped the horse's belly, scattered snowflakes fell on his shoulders, and he soon walked away.
The Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has been noble for many years, and the Hou Mansion has been repaired a long time ago, sleeping on the fire kang in winter, and walking the flue inside, it is very hot, Pan'er is only wearing a thin new green silk coat, revealing snow-white arms and tender calves, the brocade is covering the lower abdomen, and a few drops of sweat are hot on the pink cheeks.
Pan'er slept groggy, always felt that she was being stared at in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she suddenly found that there was a dark shadow in front of her, she was startled, as if a basin of cold water was poured on her head, and she woke up in an instant.
As soon as she wanted to scream, her soft lips were covered by a big palm, and her hot breath sprayed in her ears:
"It's me."
People are in the dark, feeling much sharper than usual, Pan'er heard Chu Liang's voice, and immediately stopped struggling, she pulled the man's hand down, the pinna of the ear was crispy and numb, and there was a faint itch.
The little woman's body trembled slightly, the skin and flesh at the root of the ear were already thinner, and there were a lot of itchy flesh on Pan'er's body, the two had been together for so long, Chu Liang was naturally clear about this.
"Don't make a fuss." Pan'er muttered in a low voice, this is the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, not the Chu family, she is the daughter of the Lin family, but coming here is like going to someone else's house, you can't do anything excessive, plus there is a night vigil outside the house, once Chu Liang makes too much noise, if she is heard, how can she have the face to see people?
"I didn't make a fuss."
The man's eyes burned, and he retorted angrily.
Suddenly put his hand on the back of the little daughter-in-law's neck, all the way from the waste village, even if Chu Liang has a token in his hand and can enter and exit the city gate at will, but it is very cold outside, and the hand holding the reins of the horse has long been frozen like ice, as soon as it touches the warm flesh, Pan'er can't help but scream, and her body trembles.
Chu Liang smiled roughly, unceremoniously got on the kang, hugged the person in his arms, and covered it directly with his big palm through the silk clothes.
Pan'er snorted, and her little face, which was originally pink, turned pale as paper in an instant.
When a woman comes to a small day, her chest is always stuffy and very uncomfortable, and it hurts very much if she doesn't touch it, and now she was hit by Chu Liang's elbow, Pan'er had tears in her eyes, and she couldn't help crying.
The tall man heard the low cry of the little daughter-in-law, his head banged, and he didn't dare to move his hands, so he hurriedly let go of Pan'er, slapped himself mercilessly, lowered his voice and said: "Daughter-in-law, it's all my fault, don't you cry?" If you hurt so badly, IāI'll rub it for you? ā
Hearing this, Pan'er laughed angrily, pushed away the man's hand, lay flat on the couch, and eased for a while.
When she was first hit, her eyes were black in pain, and she really wanted to die, but the pain came and went quickly, and she was just faintly numb at the moment.
Finding that the little daughter-in-law's breathing gradually calmed down, Chu Liang's hanging heart was put down and fell directly to Pan'er's side.
Although the man's hands were cold, his body was still a little hot, and there was a fire in the bedroom, Pan'er eased up a little, and felt a little hot, took Chu Liang's hand, leaned into the man's arms, lowered his eyes, and looked slightly more supple than usual.
"Why did you think you're in town?"
Chu Liang snorted coldly: "My daughter-in-law has run to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, if you don't come over quickly, you heartless finger may not be able to return to Zhuangzi in a few days, even if you don't think about it for me, you don't even care about Xiaobao?" What a ruthless one! ā
Pan'er squinted, lazily lying on the man's chest, and when the cool air on Chu Liang's body was almost gone, she also felt a little tired, turned over and faced the wall, and said in a low voice: "I have only been out for less than half a day, I didn't expect you to have so much resentment in your heart, if the general really thinks that I can't take care of Xiaobao, it is better to take the child to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion together, and I can also be a companion with Xiaoshi......"
There was a squeamish grunt sound of the little daughter-in-law in her ears, Chu Liang gritted her teeth angrily, if she really followed Pan'er's mind and took Xiaobao over, was she going to leave herself alone in Zhuangzi?
The man's shoulders are broad, his long arms are strong and powerful, and when he moves slightly, he puts his slender waist in his arms, fortunately, he still remembers that Pan'er came to Kwai Shui, but he just pressed her and kissed her a few times, and he didn't do too much in the end.
With the little daughter-in-law in his arms, Chu Liang slept very peacefully, and waited until the next morning, the rooster crowed, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and his dark eyes revealed a little vigilance, and when he saw the surrounding environment and the person in his arms, his tense body was slightly relaxed.
Chu Liang didn't wake up Pan'er, and after getting dressed neatly, he retreated directly from the house, and he didn't alarm the people who were waiting in the courtyard, after all, the little daughter-in-law was very thin-skinned, and he entered the boudoir at night.
After sleeping until the end of the hour, Pan'er was woken up by the maid, and after waiting for washing, Pan'er just wanted to go to Lin's when she heard two little maids hiding in the corner and muttering quietly.
"The daughter of the Xu family, she looks really delicate, no wonder she can marry Qi Shilang, they are really a couple when they stand together."
"I think that the facial features of the daughter of the prime minister's house are not as good as Miss Lin, but she is tall and can recite poems against her, so she forced Qi Shilang to divorce Miss Lin and marry her."
When Pan'er heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, the minions of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, why did they mention Xu Qingling, they were full of food?
After the two little maids finished speaking, they turned their heads and saw Pan'er, their faces were pale with fright, and they didn't care about the thin layer of snow in the yard, so they fell to their knees with a plop and begged for mercy:
"Please also ask Miss Lin to calm her anger and spare the slaves and maids this time."
Frowning, Pan'er said, "You guys get up first." ā
The little maid with a goose egg face raised her eyes and saw that the general's wife did not look angry, so she stood up in fear.
"Let me ask you, why did you suddenly mention the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
The little maid said hesitantly: "Mrs. Qi came to visit today, and she is sitting in the hall at the moment." ā
Hearing this, Pan'er's face changed, and she waved her hand at the two maids, and quickened her pace to walk in the direction of the hall.
As soon as she walked outside the hall, she heard a woman's delicate voice: "The Zhuangzi in Shilipo was originally my Xu family's property, how could I have thought that by accident, the land deed was stolen by the gangsters, and I heard that the land deed just fell into the hands of Mrs. Hou, so it is better to ...... Returning to its original owner? ā
Hearing Xu Qingling say such shameless words, Pan'er was about to be laughed at.
The reason why Xu Qingling threw out the waste village was to force Pan'er to leave Qi Chuan, as if he was calling Huazi, and sent Lin's mother and daughter, after all, Zhuangzi didn't give birth to an inch of grass, not only did he not make any money every year, but he even had to lose money, and it was also a hot potato in his hands, which was handed over to their mother and daughter, which could be regarded as solving a big problem for Xu Qingling.
It's a pity that Zhuangzi has changed an owner, and it is immediately different from before, the original dry mud land, even the roughest weeds can't grow, but now it can be planted with patches of fruit groves, rouge rice, and a wide variety of vegetables and fruits.
In addition, she didn't like Pan'er, an ugly woman who came out of Shiqiao Village, not only did she not fall down after she left Qi Chuanhe, but she married better than her, the daughter of the prime minister's house, Xu Qingling's heart and eyes are not as big as the tip of the needle, and she has not had a good time these years, how can she be willing?
After trying all kinds of methods, it doesn't matter if you can't conceive a child, that despicable villain in Qi Chuan once got drunk, and even pointed at Xu Qingling's nose and scolded angrily, saying that she was a hen that couldn't lay eggs, far inferior to Lin Paner!
New hatred and old hatred were added together, Xu Qingling held his breath in his heart, and rushed directly to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, preparing to snatch the waste village over and block Lin Paner's slut.
Pan'er didn't know what Xu Qingling thought, but this woman was not good, but she could see it at a glance.
Lianbu moved slightly, Pan'er walked into the hall, first blessed the Lin family, turned his head to look at Xu Qingling, and said with a smile: "Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, Mrs. Qi came over today, what is the matter?" ā
Lin took her daughter's hand and asked Pan'er to sit on the Eight Immortals chair she was working on, just facing Xu Qingling.
Xu Qingling was born beautiful, and she had a beautiful temperament, otherwise she would not be called the first beauty in the capital, but it is a pity that since she married Qi Chuan, she has not had a good day, and the soft temperament on her body has almost been consumed.
Let's not mention that Qi Chuan's official position is not high, and he is incompetent, let's just say that the pair of bad relatives of the Qi family, in addition to Grandma Qi also knows some things, Qi's mother and Qi Mei's mother and daughter are no different from the crazy women on the street. Qi's mother puts out her mother-in-law's score every day, and she just wants to press her, Qi Mei doesn't look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue she is, just her background, she has been raised in the village since she was a child, and she still wants to marry a prince?
Thinking of the mother and daughter, Xu Qingling's stomach was disgusted, his face turned blue in an instant, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"I can't hide it, I came to your mansion today to get back what belonged to our Xu family."
Pan'er pretended not to know: "We don't have Mrs. Qi's things in our hands, aren't you mistaken?" ā
"The ruined village of Shilipo,"
Before Xu Qingling finished speaking, he was interrupted by Pan'er: "The title deed of Zhuangzi has long been taken to the official mansion, and the big seal of the official mansion has been stamped, and now it is already our Lin family, Mrs. Qi asked me for it, is it really unreasonable?" ā
The waste village did not grow an inch of grass at the beginning, it was Pan'er who spent a lot of effort to raise the soil back little by little with spiritual spring water, and now that place is like spiritual soil, what to plant and live, not to mention those ordinary vegetables and fruits, planted in the waste village can be upgraded to a quality, just say that the old man's rare and exotic grasses, raised in the waste village are better than before, whether it is Wenjun listening to the qin, or the hundred-year-old plum tree, no exception.
After investing so much effort, the waste village was almost built by Pan'er, how brazen Xu Qingling was, and even ran to the door to beg for it, where is this prime minister's daughter, that is, those businessmen who go south and north, I am afraid that their cheeks are not as thick as this champion lady.
Xu Qingling's background is good, even if she is now abandoning the village and making money, Xu Qingling may not really like those money, the reason why she came to ask for it is largely because she can't see that she is better than her, after all, what kind of goods is the Qi family, Pan'er knows it in her heart, and at this moment, she can't help but laugh secretly when she sees the blue and black color under the eyes of the woman opposite that can't be covered with fat powder.
"Mrs. Chu, you and I are not related to each other, the Zhuangzi of Shilipo was my Xu family's property for the first few decades, why would I give you the title deed for no reason?"
The corners of Pan'er's mouth hooked slightly, and she sneered: "What is the reason, Mrs. Qi doesn't count it in her heart?" Do you want me to tell me all the things that you have privately decided to force you to leave for the rest of your life? Prime Minister Xu Cheng is also a well-known figure in Beijing, how could he teach a daughter like Mrs. Qi, and it is okay to have an affair with a married man, and it is still not good to see people. ā
"Shut up!"
Xu Qingling was trembling with anger, she usually befriended the ladies of various provinces, gathered together to recite poems and listen to the piano and make tea, where had she seen a vulgar woman like Lin Paner? One fornication after another, it's like poking a knife into her heart, Xu Qingling already thinks very highly of herself, how can she stand this?
There were still many maids in the house, and when they heard the words of the general's wife, they all glanced at Xu Qingling, even if their movements were vague, but Xu Qingling was not blind, where could they not see this scene?
The face coated with fat powder suddenly turned the color of pig liver, Xu Qingling slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily:
"A vulgar woman like you, just stay in Shiqiao Village, why do you have to come to the capital, first shamelessly became the nurse of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and married the master with milk, how can there be no pickles, how much better can you be than me?"
Seeing Xu Qingling angry, Pan'er's heart was extremely happy.
Back then, she and the Lin family had just entered the capital, and they had no relatives, Xu Qingling forced her to reconcile with Qi Chuan, and even tried to ruin their mother and son again and again.
"At least I've never done anything evil, compared to Mrs. Qi, I have a clear conscience!"
Xu Qingling's breath stagnated, and she didn't know what to say for a while, she stomped her foot fiercely, her phoenix eyes showed murderous intent, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"Lin Pan'er, don't think that if you marry Chu Liang, you will be able to become the general's wife in peace, the good show is still to come, even if you refuse to call the waste village out, then the Zhuangzi will be mine in the end."
Bowing slightly, Pan'er chuckled and said, "This is not for Mrs. Laoqi to bother." ā
Seeing Xu Qingling brushing her sleeves away, the smile on the woman's face slowly converged, and the little hand hidden in the sleeve clenched into a fist, I don't know if she was thinking too much, she always felt that Xu Qingling's last words had already pointed out, Prime Minister Xu Cheng was today's henchman, could it be that the sage had already set his sights on Chu Liang?
Thinking about it like this, Pan'er's face turned blue and pale, obviously a little scared.
Lin stood up, took his daughter's hand, saw that her face was not good, thought that she was angry with Xu Qing, and said softly:
"You don't have to take it too seriously, Xu Qingling's life in the Qi family is sad, Qi's mother wants to hold her grandson, no matter how high the Xu family's family is, she has been desperately trying to give Qi Chuan a concubine recently, and the rumors have spread throughout the capital, the daughter of the Prime Minister has never been wronged since she was a child, and it is natural for her to be more angry, so she came to the Hou Mansion and wanted to be angry with our mother."
