New widow

Seeing this, the matchmaker hurriedly pulled the housekeeper's wife and said, "Let's go, lest she curse me again."

The housekeeper's wife was dragged away by the matchmaker, but her expression clearly showed dissatisfaction. When they were quarreling, neighbors who heard the noise came over to watch the commotion. Then they saw the housekeeper walking away in despair. Only then did Sister-in-law Bao dare to step forward: "This matter, this is the housekeeper of the Wang family, and I will offend their family. I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Nanny Wu asked back, and Sister-in-law Bao looked a little hesitant: "The old Shangshu of the Shangshu Mansion is very doting on that lady. When the time comes, if you really want it, for people like you, just I'm afraid, really, really..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Mother Wu knew she couldn't tell Sister Bao the truth, so she could only tell her this. Sister-in-law Bao looked more and more hesitant and said hesitantly: "I know that Zhen'er's father is a nobleman in the capital, but now her father is gone. I just heard that Yingying Chuochuo was kicked out of the capital. There is no one to support her. How is her life? Get over it."

"Since I dare to scold, I dare to take responsibility." Grandma Wu could only promise this. Sister-in-law Bao wanted to ask again, but she heard Little Sister Song calling: "Aunt Wu, I call you."

"Come here." Mother Wu put the broom aside and hurried inside.

Sister-in-law Bao was still sighing. Manager Wu thought about it and said to Sister-in-law Bao: "It's okay, this is frustrating. Besides, if you are even afraid of such a playboy, then what's the point of living too much?"

This dude was no ordinary dude. Sister-in-law Bao was worried about Song Zhen, but Nanny Wu had already arrived in front of Su Qiao. Su Qiao looked at Nanny Wu and said, "This is so scolding."

Are you happy? "

"Madam, if her family hadn't run so fast, I would have scolded her even more happily." Aunt Wu said honestly, and Su Qiao smiled again: "I still have to do this serious thing."

"I know." After saying this, Mother Wu said, "What if his family really wants to use its power to suppress others?"

"What are you afraid of?" Su Qiao asked back. Aunt Wu hesitated, and Su Qiao smiled faintly: "Besides, it's just other things. If the Song family really wants to marry Zhen'er to that dude, the Song family will give it a try."

Su Qiao's tone was very calm, but Grandma Wu felt a chill run down her spine and said respectfully to Su Qiao, "Yes."

Suqiao saw Aunt Wu being so respectful and smiled: "I didn't think carefully. I originally thought that when I returned here, I could live a stable life in anonymity, but I forgot that word of mouth always spreads quickly."

I'm afraid that now, everyone knows his identity, and the thought of Su Qiao gives him a headache. The more he wants to distance himself from the relationship with the Duke of Guo's Mansion, the more unclear he is, who wants to be related to the Duke of Guo's Mansion.

"Actually, this is the dignity you deserve." Aunt Wu's words made Su Qiao smile: "That's all, I'm afraid this door won't be clean in the future. Please tell Old Wu to watch the door more closely."

"Yes!" Mother Wu could only respond. Xia Yun stood in the door and listened, then said to Song Zhen: "Don't worry."

"I didn't think carefully." Hearing what Song Zhen said, Xia Yun couldn't help but laugh: "You and the lady said the same thing."

"I originally thought that this was the place where I lived and grew up, and the people around me were naturally the same as before, but I forgot that I went to the capital, and in the eyes of everyone, I was different from before." Song Zhenchang

With a sigh, Xia Yun looked at her: "It's okay, we can change places."

"Where should we go?" Su Qiao's voice sounded, but Xia Yun did not stand up: "Just go to a place where no one knows who we are."

"Idiot, it's not hard to find places like this, but after a while, these places become different again." Su Qiao sighed softly, and Song Zhen let out a long sigh: "If you want to live a pure life, why are you so... It’s difficult.”

"It's always cleaner than life in the capital." Suqiao thought of the days in the capital. Those who only had to mix firewood, rice, oil and salt had a headache, and there were also social activities. There were hundreds of people in the Duke's mansion, and the servants had all kinds of thoughts. , there are those who do things seriously, and there are also those who want to make profits from it. All these things make Suqiao have trouble sleeping.

"Yes, when I come back here, I sleep well every day." Song Zhen smiled again, and Su Qiao pinched her face: "You are in the capital, can't you sleep well every day?"

"It's not that I can't sleep well, but I'm always worried." Song Zhen shook her head as she spoke: "I didn't expect that when I returned to my hometown, I would be targeted."

"If I don't promise you out, no one can marry you." Su Qiao said calmly, and Song Zhen had already nodded: "I know you are the best, Aunt Kuang."

Suqiao patted Song Zhen on the back. It seemed that the prince had to find a way to teach him a lesson.

Prince Wang heard that Su Qiao didn't even let him in this time, and he burst into tears and made a fuss. Mrs. Du coaxed him for a long time before coaxing him. When his son stopped crying, Mrs. Du asked someone to send him back. He said to the housekeeper's wife: "Tell me how that family scolded me."

The housekeeper's wife was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and said, "I don't dare, little one."

Say it. "

"You said I won't punish you." Mrs. Du said coldly. The housekeeper's wife should have said: "The young one originally wanted to talk nicely, but who knows, who knows, her family said that it was just a thing bought with a few taels of silver, and she should be regarded as a person."

With a snap, the housekeeper received a slap on the face, and she screamed: "Madam, madam, I didn't say these words."

"I know." Mrs. Du took a deep breath and forced a smile to the housekeeper: "This is really because I don't show off my power. She treats me like a sick cat."

After saying this, Mrs. Du pondered for a moment: "Ask the kitchen to bring the ginseng soup, and I will deliver it to the master."

The housekeeper must have said so and hurriedly went to the kitchen to pass the ginseng soup. Mrs. Du took this moment to tidy herself up. She was almost forty, so naturally it was hard for her to paint her features. However, she also knew that Wang Shangshu liked her to dress solemnly, so she only put a touch of red on her eyelids and changed her clothes. A solemn dress, the maid had already arrived with ginseng soup, and Mrs. Du took the maid to the garden.

Wang Shangshu was old and liked purity. He specially carved a place in the garden and built a quiet room. He named it Banbu Temple, which means that there is only half a step inside, which is used for cleaning.

Of course, this quiet room has three rooms. There are two dignified and beautiful maids serving Wang Shangshu. Wang Shangshu meditates in this quiet room every day, reads and practices calligraphy, and never cares about those things.

Mrs. Du took the maid into the quiet room and saw Wang Shangshu practicing calligraphy there. Mrs. Du hurriedly stepped forward and held the paper for Wang Shangshu instead of the maid. Wang Shangshu only glanced at Mrs. Du and continued writing. When the words were finished, Mrs. Du was convinced

The attendant Wang Shangshu cleaned his hands and brought the ginseng soup.

Wang Shangshu took a sip of the ginseng soup before saying to Mrs. Du: "Didn't I tell you that you are busy with housework every day, so you don't need to come here every day."
