CHAPTER XXIV

When Shanniang poked her wet head out of her half-human-tall cypress tub, Mother Li was coming over with a towel. Seeing this, he hurriedly put the towel on her head, and said to her, "Didn't the girl say that she only soaked it?" It's naughty again. Look, your hair is wet, beware of freezing! ”

Shanniang smiled and did not answer.

At this time, they were in the living room on the second floor of Chunshen Garden.

Shanniang not only renovated the first floor of her embroidery building, but also renovated the second floor.

The second floor, like the first floor, is also a row of three rooms. From the staircase on the west side, there is a row of front porches with beautiful balustrades. Originally, the doors of the three rooms were all open to the front porch, and Shan Niang asked people to open the inner door in the house, connecting the three rooms from the inside, and then turned the west room into a tea room, and the middle was still used as a bedroom, and the east room in the corner was changed into her living place.

The living room was not large, Shanniang's dressing table was placed under the south window, a soft couch was set up under the east wall, and under the north window, there was a large cypress bathtub that she had painstakingly brought out of the west garden—and at this moment, she was soaking in the large bathtub.

As for the cat fun picture that will be made into a glass screen, Shanniang has already planned to put it in front of this bath bucket in the future.

It's just that at this time, the screen has not yet been made, and Li's mother was afraid that she would freeze her, so she lit several smokers in the living room, and asked Lu'an to move the tea stove in, while warming the room, and cooking tea for Shanniang.

At this moment, Lu'an, who was looking at the tea stove, was driven aside by Wufu, only squeezing his hands and looking at Wufu at a loss.

Wufu had a straight face, fanning the tea stove with unnecessary force, with a look of "ask me why I'm angry".

Sanhe had always been calm, and when he saw that Lu'an was standing there and had no idea, he called her over and taught her how to incense Shanniang's clothes in the smoker cage, and she went over to move another smoker closer to the bath tub so that Li's mother could dry Shanniang's wet hair.

For a while, in addition to the slight "beep" sound of the charcoal fire from time to time in the living room, there was only the sound of the fan in Wufu's hand "hulala".

Shanniang soaked comfortably in the big bathtub, while letting the nurse wipe her wet hair, she closed her eyes and smiled: "Wufu, even the wind of your fan can't here, just listening to the sound of your fan, it makes people feel cold." ”

Wufu's movements froze, and he looked up at Shanniang who was just about to say something, but he was facing the warning eyes of the nurse. She had no choice but to swallow her breath, change her words stiffly, and asked Shanniang: "Girl, do you want tea now?" ”

Li's mother hurriedly said, "Let's wait for the girl to come out and drink it." He said to Shanniang again: "Girl, don't soak, it's only February, the weather is cold, and the girl's hair is wet again, be careful not to catch a cold." ”

"It's out of the way, the water is still hot."

Shanniang sank her shoulders into the water again, but she was secretly planning what she would do tomorrow.

The chaos in the family made her unbearable after being in charge of the house for many years (at least it felt so). And since he decided to reach out, it has become inevitable to face Ma's mother. From Ma's mother's tough eyes, she could see that there was no good situation between him and her...... If it was in her previous life, she might be ruthless, thinking of a way to get rid of people directly, but in this life, she ......

Xu is in the previous life, she is also such a tough person, she doesn't know how to communicate, she only knows how to force others to obey herself, so in this life, in the face of Ma's mother's malice, she can't have much evil in her heart, except for feeling troublesome and impatient...... It was this empathy that made her can't help but wonder what way she could find a way to live peacefully with Mama's mother. At the very least, she should also try to give Mama a chance and try to change her strong ...... Just like herself in her previous life, she has always hoped that someone would give her a chance to make amends......

Of course, the wish is good, but the reality is not. is that she wants to transform Mama, and she has to see if Mama wants to be transformed. Even so, she still needs to be careful to watch out for Mama's mother......

- At that moment, Shanniang didn't realize that sure enough, a person's "nature is difficult to change", she just kept saying that she wanted to change herself, but she still couldn't help but want to change things that she didn't like...... Just like in her previous life......

At this time, Shanniang only silently analyzed her opponent and analyzed all the aspects she was going to face.

That Ma's mother is actually not difficult to deal with for Shanniang. The difficult thing is the person behind Mama's mother. Ma's mother relies on nothing more than the lord and his wife. Mrs. Biwu is unreliable at first glance, so the only thing she can rely on - no, to be exact, Aunt Ma can rely on - is her father, who doesn't know when he will come back.

Even so, she would be stupid to give up this opportunity to give herself the upper hand. The first thing Ming'er did was to persuade her wife to win the right to meddle in family affairs from her. I want to come to my wife's place and wish someone could stand up and take care of things for her, but it shouldn't be difficult. The difficulty is that Shanniang actually doesn't want to get caught up in those tedious family affairs......

In the previous life, she was forced to do so, but in this life she will not be so stupid anymore, for the sake of others, she completely gave up herself, so she has to plan well, how to use the current family qiē, not only to make this messy home smooth, but also to ensure that she has a comfortable life...... Of course, you have to take care of your wife's face, and you can't completely tear your face with Ma's mother...... Also, she had to worry about the reaction that her father might have......

It's a pity that she doesn't know her father for the time being.

In the previous life, Yuan Changqing once said that only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one take the lead......

Suddenly, Shanniang shook a little, so that the water waves in the bathtub rippled with it.

Thinking of Yuan Changqing, she couldn't help but think of the woodware shop that she didn't know about in her previous life. She suddenly felt a creepy feeling-does it mean that in his previous life, Yuan Changqing didn't know as much about their Hou family as he appeared?!

When he was forced by her, he once said that the reason why he chose her was because she was "the most suitable" - does that mean that in fact, before participating in the Spring Appreciation Banquet, Yuan Changqing had already examined her and her sisters in a comprehensive manner? ! Because he knew that she was the most docile, obedient, and well-behaved person in the family, and the least likely to cause trouble, so he chose her?!

Because she ...... "the most suitable" ?!

Shanniang shuddered again.

"Look at it, just say it's going to freeze!" Mother Li, who was helping her wipe her wet hair, felt her trembling, hurriedly put her hand into the water to test the water temperature, and persuaded again, "Girl, just bubble casually, get up." ”

Shanniang didn't answer, but kept her eyes closed.

What she couldn't figure out in her previous life, now after a lifetime, after she faded her mind about that person, she realized that it was not that she couldn't figure it out, but that she didn't want to admit it - that Yuan Changqing had always wanted to "respect each other like guests", but what she wanted was never ......

That's why he said, "Enough is enough," that's why he said, "You're asking too much." ”

……

In the corner, Wufu was still smashing pots and bowls.

Shanniang still didn't pay attention to her, only closed her eyes and asked, "Is it okay to change the new house for you?" ”

Mother Li sighed: "It's not a big deal, but it makes people say that the girl is arrogant......"

Shanniang's brows frowned slightly, Sanhe saw it, and said with a smile: "It's not far from our Chunshen Garden, you can come over as long as you pass through a corner door." Coincidentally, there happened to be four empty rooms over there, and one of us was left behind. This was not in accordance with the rules, but the rooms were not big, and the original could not accommodate a second person, and Fang's mother also said that it should only be a companion, so no one gossiped. ”

Mother Li sighed and said, "Why bother, it's just a matter of putting up with it......"

The word "forbearance" made Shanniang's brows furrow again. It's just that before she could speak, she heard Wufu jump up and shout: "Bear with me, mom is always like this, that is, we can endure it, where are others willing to endure it?!" ”

"Huh?" Shanniang opened her eyes, "What's wrong with her?" ”

"I'm angry!" Wufu said angrily: "I'm angry for the girl!" ”

Now that she opened her mouth, Shanniang stopped teasing her, and asked with a smile, "Okay, you're angry." What are you angry at for me? ”

"Five Blessings!" The nurse couldn't help but force Wufu again.

Wufu pursed his lips and complained: "Mom won't let me say it!" ”

In fact, even if Li's mother didn't let her say it, Shanniang could guess that they must have heard something unpleasant outside.

She sighed, looked up at Mother Li and said, "No matter what is said outside, I think you had better sue me first, so that I don't know anything if anyone asks me here in the future." ”

After getting Shanniang's words, Wufu immediately threw the fan away, and said indignantly: "It's the girl who said it, we don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble!" Just when it was my turn to go to the big kitchen with Lu'an for dinner, we heard it in the big kitchen, and I don't know which room the girl was chewing maggots there, saying that the girl bullied the second master and didn't say anything, but she even went to the uncle's yard or something, I was angry when I heard it, and I wanted to pull the girl to theorize, but several people in the kitchen actually helped the girl, and actually let people go! I came back to tell my mother, but my mother told us to endure it, and said that I shouldn't cause trouble outside. Where is this where I am in trouble?! Obviously, I was bullied to the tip of my nose, and if I don't speak again, won't I be treated as a turtle with a shrunken head?! ”

Shanniang looked at Granny Li, couldn't help but raise her hand to support her forehead, and sighed silently.

Her nurse is kind-hearted, but she is too ...... Believe in virtue. believes in the inherent goodness of human nature, and believes that as long as she endures everything, others will follow and retreat gently. But I don't know that when a gentleman is a villain, the more gentleman he is, the more villain he will become......

It is precisely because of the character of the nurse that she met a villain like her husband that she finally encountered those misfortunes...... And it is precisely because of the kindness of the nurse that when she was cornered by her family, she chose to quit for fear of implicating her...... But she thought that the nurse had gone out to enjoy the blessings......

Because of the word "forbearance", the nurse was forced to have no way out, and never thought of asking for help, but passively chose to endure, endure and endure, until there was nowhere to bear, and she was forced to die......

At that time, she still didn't know anything, and gave a very generous gift to the family who had lost her conscience......

The nurse's forbearance not only harmed her life, but also made Shanniang feel guilty for life......

For her previous life, Shanniang has already had a deep introspection, and she knows that she will never go back to the old path, but the nurse does not have such an adventure as her, so she naturally does not know what kind of bad luck her nature will bring to herself, and naturally she cannot have that kind of self-help consciousness......

Thinking about the nurse's family affairs, Shanniang's eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly sneered. In this life, with her protection, the nurse will naturally not suffer such a loss again. But if the nurse never changes her bad temper, I'm afraid that in the place where she can't see, the nurse will still say......

"It's a blessing to suffer."

I only heard the nurse sigh and looked at Wufu Dao, "When you were in the West Garden, your temper didn't look so hot, why did you come back for only two or three days, and it became like this?" It's not a disaster for the girl......"

Shanniang's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly turned over in the bathtub, and asked the nurse on the edge of the bathtub, "Where did Wufu cause trouble for me?" ”

Seeing that her entire arm was exposed, the nurse hurriedly pressed her into the water, shook her head and said, "We just came back, more is better than less." It's not that everyone believes what others say, and justice is in the hearts of the people. ”

"Is justice in the hearts of the people?" Shanniang sneered, "What is justice?" What is the human heart? There are two ways to say anything, as it was yesterday, it seems to us that the little boy is looking for trouble, but why is there such a thing in the kitchen? Moreover, I did beat him, and he did kneel in my yard. People often don't take into account all the facts, but only what they hear. And if we don't argue, others will only know about the little boy being beaten and punished. In this way, the more 'facts' are disseminated, the more people will believe, and naturally the so-called 'people's hearts' will naturally become the so-called 'human hearts'. When people's hearts are turned against their backs, it naturally becomes 'justice'. The so-called 'justice is in the hearts of the people', in fact, to put it bluntly, it can be controlled by people at will. If the nurse is bent on putting the so-called 'justice' on the 'hearts of others', I am afraid that the nurse will be disappointed after all. ”

"That's it!" Wufu nodded again and again, "It's today's matter, if the girl didn't come out and say a word, wouldn't it make the uncle feel wronged?!" That's why I couldn't get angry and made such a ...... in the big kitchen."

"Oh? Are you making trouble? Shanniang turned her head to look at Wufu.

Wufu twisted his mouth, "The girl also underestimates me too much, the four words 'reasonable and modest', but the girl taught it!" I just taught those people a lesson according to the rules of the house. ”

Sanhe smiled: "I also think it's okay for Wufu to make a fuss." As the girl said, there are always two ways of saying things, if you can only hear one statement, doesn't it make your life biased? We must let people listen to what we have to say. ”

The nurse looked at the three masters and servants of the "wolf bèi for the traitor", sighed again, shook her head and said, "I mean you three." But there is one thing, the girl's family should always be humble and docile, otherwise I am afraid that I will be gossiped upon. With that, she called Wufu to continue drying Shanniang's hair for her, and she turned around and went into the bedroom, not knowing what to get.

So Wufu came over and took over, while squeezing his eyebrows at Shanniang. They are all well aware of the nature of the nurse, one is afraid of causing trouble to others, the second is afraid of attracting gossip, and the third is ......

“…… I'm afraid of stepping on ants when I walk. Wufu leaned into Shanniang's ear and whispered: "If Mom knows that the girl beat the ninth master and the tenth master, she won't be scared?" ”

Shanniang smiled and glanced at her.

Wufu said again, "I'm only worried that the ninth master and the tenth master will go back and talk nonsense." ”

"If it were you, would you tell me that you were beaten by a girl? What's more, it's still when you're robbing other people's money. Shanniang smiled.

Wufu was suddenly relieved, smiled at Shanniang, turned his head to look at Li's mother who was still rummaging in the bedroom, and said in a low voice, "I bet with the girl, even if my mother knows that the girl has beaten someone, I am afraid that she will only say that the other party is not." ”

"Yes, and then teach me in private: it is a blessing to suffer."

She learned the tone of the nurse, and didn't want the nurse to come out with a stack of clean towels, but when she heard it, she sighed: "Yes, it is a blessing to suffer." The girl has been wronged, and there is always a wife and master who are in charge, and the girl should not face her aunt by herself. ”

So, Wufu looked at Shanniang and grimaced.

This grimace was also seen by Li's mother, and she reached out and slapped her, reproaching her: "Even if you are dedicated to protecting the Lord, you should have a sense of proportion, why are you still torn up with the people in the kitchen?" but that we may become unreasonable. ”

Wufu was unconvinced: "I didn't tear them up, I'm just talking to them about the rules!" Speaking of which, the rules in the house are really chaotic, if it is in the West Garden, how can people talk about the master's gossip?! I've already tore their mouths! ”

Shanniang stood up from the bathtub, let the nurse wrap her with a big towel, and helped Wufu's hand out of the bathtub, while deliberately singing a duet with the nurse and said to Wufu: "Next time, you can tear their mouths directly." ”

The nurse paused and said, "The girl is still bewitching her!" Be forgiving and forgiving......"

"Why spare?!" Shanniang stretched out her arms, let Sanhe dress her, and smiled at Wufu: "What we want is to be unforgiving." The next time you encounter something like this, when it's not enough to be reasonable, you just have to take it and fight. It's just that what's the problem, I'll carry it for you with your girl! ”

"Hey!" Wufu simply agreed.

Mother Li sighed again, but she was reluctant to accuse Shanniang for half a sentence.

Shanniang looked at her, suddenly reflexively hooked her neck, and said with a smile: "Nurse, I want to persuade you, that is, to be a gentleman, and to see if the other party is a gentleman." If you only care about being a gentleman, and the other party is a villain like me, who is 'unforgiving', that is, if you take one step back, I will forcibly occupy you three steps, how will you be treated? If you retreat step by step, I press step by step, and finally force you to retreat, what will you do? ”

The nurse shook her head helplessly, took the big coat from Lu'an's hand and wrapped it around Shanniang, "The girl is too extreme, but I believe that there is always a justice in this world." Things can always distinguish between right and wrong, that is, if you can't for a while, you can one day. ”

Someday?! Waiting for someone else to give you a chance to clarify yourself?!

Shanniang smiled lazily, hugged the big and said: "To say something desperate, sometimes, the truth is in front of you, as long as it is not in line with your own needs, no one will want to believe it." ”

Therefore, when Hou Shiniang came to "visit" in person the next day, and asked her about punishing Hou Jue in a seemingly unintentional tone, Shanniang only smiled and said secretly in her heart: Sure enough, it was the nurse who was wrong, not her.
