New widow

"Can't do it?" Aunt Du had already looked at Mrs. Du: "If you can't do it, I'm telling you, don't even want to do this business of yours."

"If you dig into the coffin privately, you will be beheaded." Mrs. Du said bravely. Aunt Du sneered: "I am here, what are you afraid of?"

It's because of you that I'm afraid, but Mrs. Du didn't dare to say it out loud, so she could only smile apologetically at Aunt Du: "We can't compare to you, Mrs. Du, we are just..."

"What are you talking about? Don't you just want silver?" Aunt Du opened a box and took out some broken silver and threw it in front of Mrs. Du: "I'll reward you with these first."

Mrs. Du's eyes lit up when she saw that there were large pieces of silver, some of which were half of the five taels of gold ingots.

"Why, you still think the money is too little?" Seeing Mrs. Du standing there motionless, Aunt Du said this again. Mrs. Du put her hands straight: "I don't dare to think it is too little, it's just, just,"

"Then take the silver and go do some work first." Aunt Du said the same thing. Mrs. Du could only squat down to pick up the silver. A few more pieces fell under the table. Mrs. Du simply knelt down and crawled to pick up the few pieces of silver. , when all the money was picked up, Mrs. Du weighed it and felt that there was always three or four taels. She thanked Aunt Du again, then turned and left.

After Mrs. Du left, Aunt Du also frowned very tightly. It was because Wang Shangshu lost his temper and asked people not to call him wife. At this time, not many people listened to what he said. How long would it take? Wang Shangshu was happy, so he could act coquettishly and let himself continue to be his wife.

Mrs. Du took the money and went out

Come, I went to a familiar shop and borrowed a scale. It was three taels, four cents and five cents. Mrs. Du was happy and embarrassed at the same time. The money was good, but she had to do the things Aunt Du asked her to do. , it’s difficult!

"How about you exchange this silver into a big one? It will look good when used as betrothal gifts in the future." Seeing Mrs. Du lingering there, the shopkeeper said with a smile. Mrs. Du hurriedly swept the silver into her arms: "This money is for daily use, where can I exchange it?"

"Who doesn't know, why are you willing to use your money to spend it? Aren't you just using vegetables from the fields? You have to work hard to exchange things with others?" The store owner said this with teasing, and Mrs. Du was about to speak again. , when she saw a group of honor guards passing by, Mrs. Du couldn't help but asked strangely: "Who are these?"

"Isn't he from the Nanyang Marquis Mansion? At this moment, it is said that he is going to the nunnery outside to express his condolences for that Miss Zhou." The store owner's words reminded Mrs. Du of Aunt Du's explanation. She didn't even have time to say a word to the store owner, so she held the silver in her arms. As she hurriedly left, the shopkeeper's brows became more and more frowning. It seemed as if this person was being chased by something.

Mrs. Du hurriedly caught up with Grandma Su's ceremonial guard. Fortunately, there were people coming and going on this official road. As long as Mrs. Du did not go to the ceremonial guard, no one chased her away. Soon she arrived at the nunnery. Mrs. Du also wanted to follow her into the nunnery, but even The ceremonial guards were all parked outside, and it became increasingly difficult for Mrs. Du to get in.

So Mrs. Du simply went outside to talk to those who were guarding the ceremony. Those people were unwilling to pay attention to Mrs. Du. Mrs. Du was bored and could only go to the back of the nunnery. There were two women standing there at the back door.

After speaking, Mrs. Du hurriedly walked forward with a smile: "What kind of noble person is here? How come you can't even burn incense?"

The two women looked at Mrs. Du with a trace of contempt on their faces. Mrs. Du often went in and out of Shangshu's Mansion, and she knew that such a woman would look down on people like herself, so Mrs. Du's smile became even more humble: "That's not true of me. My daughter-in-law has not received any good news so far. I heard that this nunnery is the most popular place for seeking a son. Ling, I'm here today. Who knew that when I came here, I saw that the nunnery was surrounded tightly, and I couldn't even burn incense. I just wanted to find someone to ask."

Mrs. Du spoke so pitifully that one of the ladies curled her lips and said, "Look at how pitiful you are, then I will tell you that this is our eldest grandma who is here. She is a noble person in the capital. Don't even think about it today." It’s time to burn incense.”

"I finally came here. It takes me two or three hours to go back and forth. I can't burn incense today, and I don't know if I will be free tomorrow." Mrs. Du deliberately said to herself, the two When the mother-in-law heard what Mrs. Du said, she ignored her. The two of them just talked about themselves.

Mrs. Du shrank her neck and thought slowly. At this time, a maid ran out of the nunnery and said, "Grandma is leaving. Why don't you go ahead? There are people waiting."

The old woman hurriedly responded and was about to go forward. The old woman who was talking to Mrs. Du turned back and said to Mrs. Du: "Since you want to burn incense, you can go in later. Come back after our grandma has left."

"Thank you very much." Although Mrs. Du said this, as soon as the two ladies left, Mrs. Du came from behind.

Enter the nunnery through the door. The layout of nunneries all over the world is similar, with a kitchen at the back and a small courtyard. When Mrs. Du saw that the door to the small courtyard was tightly closed, she couldn't help but have the idea to go to the courtyard and have a look.

As soon as Mrs. Du walked to the courtyard door, she saw the courtyard door opened from the inside, and Xia Yun walked out. Mrs. Du had met Xia Yun and knew that she was from Suqiao's side. Now she saw Xia Yun walking out, Granny Du was extremely surprised. Xia Yun was holding something in her hand. Seeing Granny Du standing there, Xia Yun shouted: "Who are you and how did you get here?"

"Good girl, I'm here to burn incense. The nunnery was surrounded by people just now. I couldn't get in. I finally got in through the back door, but got lost here." Mrs. Du hurriedly clasped her hands and said to Xia Yun, Xia Yun "Oh, the place for burning incense is in front," she said. Mrs. Du followed the direction pointed by Xia Yun, but still turned her head and looked behind her. Xia Yun had already closed the courtyard door and walked to the kitchen. .

Mrs. Du couldn't help but frown. Why did Xia Yun appear in this nunnery?

"Why are you running around?" Mrs. Du was still thinking there when she heard a scolding in her ears. Mrs. Du looked up and saw a girl standing in front of her. She saw that her hair was only up to her ears and she wasn't even wearing a hat. , but wearing a silk robe, she knew that this must be the disciple of the nunnery master. She was still young, so she had not shaved her hair, so Mrs. Du hurriedly said what she had said to Xia Yun with a smile on her face.

The girl pointed to the front hall and said, "A noble person is coming today. If you want to burn incense, go ahead. But don't disturb the noble person."

Mrs. Du agreed repeatedly and went to

When I went to burn incense in the main hall, Mrs. Du covered herself up and burned incense for a long time. After chanting for a long time, she felt that her legs were numb, but she didn't see anything, so she could only stand up and walk out.
