Chapter 42: Miss Purple
As soon as I walked under the big locust tree, I heard someone talking under the well.
"The Wang family's vacant murder house was bought, and they have all moved in this morning."
"Really? Then this family is really bold, they dare to live here!"
"What kind of family, it is a girl with a few maidservants and mothers-in-law, looking at a good temperament, like a noble lady from the city."
"Wouldn't it? A noble lady from the city? What are we doing in the countryside? Sick in the brain, right?"
"You're really right, I heard that this young lady is really not in good health, and she came to the countryside to recuperate."
"Buy a murderous house to recuperate? That's appropriate, I guess I was fooled. ”
In this group of laundry women, there happened to be Aunt Zhou, who kept her head down and washed her clothes, and she didn't speak.
Shen Yuyan saw her: "Auntie, where is the laundry?"
Hearing the voice, everyone looked up at Shen Yuyu, and Aunt Zhou responded with a smile and walked up the steps with her washed clothes. And everyone at the wellhead suddenly changed the topic and talked about Shen Yuyu.
"You know what? Shen is a fool and is not stupid. ”
"Isn't it? can ride a horse and conduct an autopsy, I heard that Shen Xi was pregnant with a baby in her belly. ”
"Not only that, even this case was investigated by her with Master Zhang, and she helped Ji Cripple overturn the case."
"If you want me to say that she wasn't stupid in the first place, how smart and clever she was when she was a child? Later, Shen Hong was beaten in the head by Mrs. Wang every day when he left as a soldier, and she was stupid, and now that no one beats her, it is estimated that her brain has recovered again. “
"Presumably so, I don't dare to call her a fool in the future."
……
Aunt Zhou came up from the wellhead and saw Shen Yu carrying a basket of apples, and was very strange: "Where can I buy such fresh apples?" It looks like it's just been plucked from a tree. He swallowed as he spoke.
"Auntie, you can taste one and see if it's delicious." Shen Yuyan said and took Aunt Zhou's clothes basin and stuffed the basket into Aunt Zhou's hand, "If it's delicious, Auntie will take it home and give it to Uncle and a few brothers to taste." “
Aunt Zhou took a bite of "click", and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, it's the first time I've eaten such a delicious apple, it's too delicious with a moderate amount of sweet and sour." ”
Before Mrs. Zhou's words fell, a delicate voice answered beside her, "Such delicious apples, are they sold?"
Shen Yuyu couldn't help but follow the voice to look over, the person who came was dressed in a lilac skirt, a tall figure with fair skin, and a delicate and lovely appearance.
Followed by a little girl with a bun, her clothes and temperament looked like a lady from a big family in the city.
She glanced at Shen Yuyu and Aunt Zhou with a gentle smile, and then landed on the basket of apples, looking very greedy.
"Apple doesn't sell." Shen Yuyan smiled, took two out of the basket and handed them to the young lady, "But you can take two to eat." ’
The young lady in purple immediately smiled: "Really? Thank you for that, sister. As he spoke, he took the apple himself, took it under his nose and sniffed it, and said something so fragrant, looking full of emotion.
Shen Yuyu suddenly felt that it seemed quite good to give her the apple.
"This young lady, are you new to Shenjia Village?" Aunt Zhou looked at Miss Ziyi and asked curiously.
"Yes, auntie, my name is Ding Xiaolian, and I ask the neighbors to take care of me." The girl in purple gave a gift, and at first glance she was a lady with temperament and cultivation.
Aunt Zhou also felt that this Miss Lu was very good, polite and cultivated, and she did not dislike the lowly rural people, so she smiled and said: "Miss Lu is polite, the eldest lady's family lives in front, if you need help, just go find me."
"Okay, thank you, auntie." Ding Xiaolian bent her knees and pursed her lips and smiled.
Shen Yuyan also smiled at her, took Aunt Zhou's hand and left.
After they left, Miss Purple threw the apple to the maidservant Hongluan on the side, and looked at the backs of Aunt Zhou and Shen Yuyan with contempt.
"Hillbilly with a big smell of dung, poof~~'
Hongluan also sneered, holding two apples: "Then this apple."
Ding Xiaolian glanced at him with disgust: "How can you eat this kind of thing?" If you eat it, you must have a stomach upset and throw it away. ’
"Yes, miss." Hongluan threw the apple into the rice field, pulling the corners of his mouth and clapping his hands.
"Miss, we've moved to the village, what's next?" Hongluan stared at his master with big clever eyes.
Ding Xiaolian whispered: "Gan Wan remembers to tell people that Miss Ben came to the village to recuperate, if you dare to say anything, you will be asked."
"Miss, don't worry, Hongluan understands."
"If you understand, go and inquire and see where he lives."
"Got it, Miss, the slave will inquire, Miss, go back first." Hongluan said as he prepared to turn around and leave.
"Got it? Know what? Tell me how you're going to ask?" Ding Xiaolian stopped her uneasily, "Do you know if you don't show your face?" I can't let him see what I'm trying to do. '
"Miss, don't worry, the slave maid is also from the countryside, so she is not so stupid." Hongluan's eyes rolled smartly, "The place where country women like to gather is the best, it's best to inquire there, the slave and maid won't let people notice the abnormality, Miss rest assured." ”
Ding Xiaolian nodded with satisfaction: "Smart, hurry up."
"Yes, miss." Hongluan turned around and walked not far when she met a woman in the village and hurriedly asked her, "This lady, where is the well in the village?"
The woman first looked at Hongluan curiously, and asked her if she was new to the move-in.
After getting Hongluan's affirmative answer, he smiled and pointed to the big locust tree: "Where is it, do you see it?" Right under that big locust tree. Laundry and water are all over there. ”
"Okay, thank you, auntie." After Hongluan thanked him, he walked to the well.
At the mouth of the well, everyone washes the laundry, washes the vegetables, and carries the water, which is very lively.
At this time, someone saw Hongluan coming over with a handkerchief in his hand, and hurriedly said, "Look at it, there are new faces in the village." So everyone looked up at Hongluan.
In the end, it was the maid of a big family, Hongluan generously went down to the well, soaked it in water with a handkerchief, and wiped her face.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she beckoned: "My young lady has just moved here from the city to recuperate, and I will ask all the aunts and sisters-in-law to take care of her in the future."
Seeing that Hongluan was so polite, everyone responded with haha, and then someone began to ask Hongluan.
"Where did your young lady call from?"
Hongluan replied, "Lingzhou City."
"So far? How did you think of coming to Shenjia Village to recuperate?"
Hongluan casually wrote: "I heard that there is a good well in the village, the water is particularly delicious, and the air is also very fresh, which is conducive to recuperation, so I came."
"This is the truth, this well in our village is indeed a mouthful of water, and it may really cure diseases if it is warm in winter and cool in summer."
Hongluan smiled and snorted coldly in his heart, the countrymen are really funny and self-righteous.
