The first year I came to Kyoto was like this.

Xie Xiuwen and Liu Ruolan didn't miss their hometown much, mainly because they were both busy, so how could they care about thinking about this and that?

But Xie Rongzhao is different.

She is small, and she doesn't have any work assigned to her to do, plus her father and mother are busy and have no time to take care of her, so she begins to miss Cheng Jingzhou, her fourth brother, and her cousins.

Before the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xie Xiuwen basically could only read books for half a day a day, either to accompany his wife and daughter, or to go out to meet friends.

Xie Ronglang took advantage of the fact that he didn't have to write his homework in the past few days, and ran behind Xie Rongzhao every day, just like her little minion, pointing wherever he wanted, and doing whatever he wanted.

Wang's sister-in-law was happy when she saw it, and when she wasn't working, she watched the two little dolls playing on the side.

Liu Ruolan and Xie Xiuwen discussed, Sister-in-law Wang's responsibility now is mainly to take care of the stove, and then to take care of the two children, in fact, the main thing is to take care of the good baby, there is no income in the family at the moment, so she has to work hard first, and when the family is rich, buy a few people to come in.

But then the title of the sister-in-law had to change.

It's not like the countryside where there are few rules, and you have to be careful everywhere.

People who don't know, if they hear them call a subordinate to call their sister-in-law, they think that the main family is poisonous, and they take their relatives to call them.

Of course, there are also people who feel that they do not distinguish between master and servant, and do not follow the rules.

Wang's sister-in-law's real name is Wang Erniu, a countryman, who was not taken seriously in the first place, so she called a name casually.

Wang's sister-in-law is a slave and a widow, and this status can be said to be quite humble.

When she bought someone, the old lady of the Liu family also inquired that Wang's husband was doing things for the main family and suffered hardship, but Wang's in-laws were ruthless and insisted on pushing the responsibility on her, and later wronged her for stealing money and drove her out in a different way.

Originally, everyone in the family was a slave, but when the Wang man was there, he was still decent in the master's family and was a small steward, and later the Wang family was abused, mainly because she had not been able to give birth to a man.

Every time Liu Ruolan saw her, she thought of what she couldn't regenerate, but she gave birth to a daughter, but the Wang family didn't even have a daughter, which was really pitiful.

People like the Wang family, many masters are also reluctant to use it, and they always feel that it is a bit unlucky to use a widow, who knows if it is a personal life?

But Xie Xiuwen and Liu Ruolan don't care about this, if they really care, it will be impossible to pass Xie Ronglang to their names.

Liu Ruolan simply renamed the Wang family Wang Zizhen.

"Your life is your own, your relatives don't value you, but you can't despise yourself, we have to cherish this life, and we can't really treat ourselves as grass and mustard at will."

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Okay, I'll call you Ah Zhen in the future, and you will have to worry more about things in the yard in the future."

"Mrs. Xie, the slave must work hard and never disappoint your kindness."

In this way, the Wang family, who has been called for more than 20 years, is finally a serious name.

Why do you say that Wang Erniu is not called a serious name?

In the countryside, especially the kind of clan where the clans are all in one place, such as Erniu, Sanni, Siya, you can call a large group of people if you call one at random.

It can be seen that he does not pay attention to his daughter's family.

Wang Zizhen also knows that she is now a trustworthy person for the old lady, if the old man is a jinshi again, it will be the master of the official family, and she will definitely recruit servants to buy slaves and maids in the future, then she, who entered the door early, naturally has to be promoted to a liter of stewardship.

Liu Ruolan didn't have many female dependents, although she also went to the Hou Mansion once, but after all, the identity difference was too big, and she was also a little restrained, mainly because she listened and watched more and didn't talk much.

Although Liu Ruolan has also read books for a few years, she feels that she is still far behind the lady of the prince.

In addition to the Hou Mansion, Liu Ruolan walked around more frequently with the Wang family, mainly as a junior, and the daughter of the Wang family treated her very kindly.

However, Liu Ruolan still likes to talk with Wang Jin's wife Xu Ruyi the most.

Xu Ruyi's mother's life is okay, she is a little rich, and her ancestors have also been out of Jinshi, which is similar to Liu Ruolan, she is considered to be from a scholarly family, but she is not particularly rich, so there is not so much estrangement between the two together.

In addition, the husbands of the two are friends, so the two of them often correspond.

Wang Jin is now two sons and one daughter, of which the daughter is a concubine, and the two sons-in-law are from Xu Ruyi's belly.

Liu Ruolan still admires Xu Ruyi very much, she can't be so generous.

"Where is my generosity! That girl was rewarded by the old lady of the Wang family, what can I say? Fortunately, the old lady was gone a few years ago, and I don't have to guard against it anymore. ”

When it comes to family affairs, Xu Ruyi's words are inevitably a little bitter.

Liu Ruolan is not the kind of person who likes to inquire about other people's family affairs, so she changed the topic with a smile.

"I heard that my husband didn't bother your husband when he went out to study, can he tell you when he comes back?"

Xu Ruyi's attention was diverted, and there was a smile on his face again.

Wang Jin's concubine is eight years old this year, and she looks quite attractive, but her temperament is not very good.

Xie Rongzhao played with her a few times, and he didn't like to go to her very much.

Liu Ruolan came back to ask her, and Xie Rongzhao complained: "She speaks strangely, sometimes it sounds like she is praising people, but when I think about it, it looks like she is scolding, anyway, I don't think it's good." ”

Liu Ruolan paid attention: "Then you tell A-Niang, what did you say." ”

Xie Rongzhao didn't hide it, and briefly told her some of the conversations he remembered.

"Anyway, I think she speaks in a weird way, and sometimes I feel like a big sister in the family, which makes people feel uncomfortable. She praised my ear bells for their good looks, but she also said how envious she was, and I felt awkward, obviously their family was richer than ours. ”

Liu Ruolan understood that this daughter of the Xu family was scolding the housemother for treating her harshly.

But when I thought about it carefully, the little girl was not badly dressed, and her face was ruddy, not like she had been rubbed.

Obviously, there is no shortage of her food and clothing, but she arranges her mother-in-law like this in front of outsiders, and such a girl is unreliable.

"That's fine, I won't play with her in the future. The next time I go back, I won't take you with me. ”

Liu Ruolan and Xu Ruyi were good friends, so naturally they still hinted at a few words.

Xu Ruyi didn't take it seriously.

"It's just a concubine, and there are a lot of careful thoughts, but I don't know if she is so capable as herself, or someone has taught her."
