Early in the morning, breakfast was being served in Tanxiangyuan. Liu Yunniang and Cheng Deqing sat opposite each other. On the table were lily chestnut porridge and almond tea. In the snack box, there were crab dumplings, delicate small noodle fruits with peony patterns, and jujube yam cake. , a few dishes of side dishes.

Cheng Deqing was eating a cage of exquisite crystal steamed dumplings one bite at a time when Cui'er heard that Lu Lu, the eldest girl in the old lady's courtyard, came over to deliver tea cakes.

Liu Yunniang hurriedly stuffed the yam cake into her mouth, her mouth was bulging. Cheng Deqing reached out to wipe away the debris from her mouth and couldn't help but joked;

"A girl is worth your anxiety. Be careful of choking your little mouth."

"Disgusting", whatever words came into Cheng Deqing's mouth, they never sounded serious.

Liu Yunniang glanced at Cheng Deqing, twisted her waist and went out. According to modern habits, it is always considered rude to ask people to wait. In ancient times, this was sometimes brought out unconsciously.

Cheng Deqing took Liu Yunniang's attention and felt tingling in his heart. The young lady is becoming more and more worthy of being a wife now!

The young girl who blushed when he glanced at him and dared not look at him has disappeared. She has been replaced by a young woman with a charming face, seductive eyes, and enchanting figure. At night, she could not get off the bed even if it was stained. She was really like a human being. Stunner.

Cheng Deqing thought of the scene on the bed at night, and couldn't help but feel thirsty. He picked up the almond tea beside Liu Yunniang's table and drank it in one gulp.

What the hell, it’s so sweet and off-putting.

I went into the study to read.

Cui'er has already brewed Wuyishan tea cakes, and Luzhu laughed along with her, "The new ones made this year were sent by the old lady's sister in the next room, called Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang came with her cousin. ".

"The old lady asked you to go over and see her."

Liu Yunniang picked up the tea and looked at it. The tea soup was orange-yellow, clear and bright. She took a sip. It was a little bitter at first, but then she gradually developed saliva and had a long aftertaste.

Liu Yunniang smiled, "It's good tea. Please bring it to me, sister. I'll change my clothes and go over."

Seeing Liu Yunniang's confused look, Luzhu made a good sale and said, "This cousin has lived in our house before, and the old lady likes it too. I came here because I want to stay with my cousin for a while." .

Liu Yunniang frowned. The dewdrop specifically told her that her cousin lived in the house. Could it be that she had an affair with the second master?

Cousins ​​have always been the most adulterous!

Maybe it's true! Just look at him acting like a male fox every day!

Today, Yi'an Courtyard was very lively. Luzhu lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "The second lady is here."

The voice in the main room fell silent, and then the old lady said kindly, "This is our Deqing's wife, called Yun Niang. She is the most considerate and gentle. We Deqing married her, and we have made progress in a down-to-earth manner. It has been a few days." She went out to hang out and studied behind closed doors, which is obviously her contribution.”

All the women in the room pretended to smile kindly. Liu Yunniang smiled and greeted Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang took Liu Yunniang's hand and praised her repeatedly: What a beautiful little lady, Erlang is lucky.

The cousin also stood up and saluted. Liu Yunniang took a rough look and saw that she really looked like her cousin. She looked like a delicate beauty who would fall over in pity.

Aunt Zhang complimented the old lady on the side, "Sister, I am lucky. Both of my daughters-in-law are beautiful. You should be able to choose someone. After a few years, Erlang and Sanlang will be able to study. When they pass the Jinshi exam, they will be promoted to a higher rank." Maybe I can even earn you a life."

Everyone laughed, and the old lady said, "I don't ask for orders, I will feel at ease when they get married and start a business."

The eldest lady's smile was a little unnatural, and she glanced at Aunt Zhang vaguely.

The cousin felt that there were omissions in what her mother said, and she was busy trying to make up for it, "My eldest cousin is doing well. I heard that you are doing well in business with the eldest housekeeper?"

Everyone in the hall suddenly stopped talking. Thinking about how the uncle got drunk and was beaten by the second uncle some time ago, his nose was black and his eyes were swollen. They all bowed their heads and drank tea in silence. The eldest lady's face turned red with shame, "I'm sorry, my cousin, I'm okay. It's okay." good".

When the cousin realized that she had said something wrong, her face turned red with embarrassment.

The old lady changed the subject, "Pei Niang, is your youngest son getting married soon?"

Aunt Zhang hurriedly picked up the conversation, "Yes, the gentleman in the bookstore also said that he has no talent, so his father didn't force him and asked him to learn how to do accounts from the accountant so that he could take over the family business."

"I am not as lucky as my elder sister. My eldest sister left the court a few years ago and is a merchant. Her life is not bad, but now I am the only one in front of me. Because she is beautiful, my heart is higher. If there is no one like me, I will come to Qiantang Old Sister to see if there is a suitable young man and give her a happy ending."

Everyone laughed tacitly, and the cousin's face turned red from embarrassment, and she pulled Aunt Zhang's sleeves.

Everyone was busy and lively complimenting her, and the old lady left everyone to have lunch together.

After the meal, Liu Yunniang sat and drank tea, smiling and occasionally chatting with her, but her cousin looked up at Liu Yuniang secretly from time to time.

Liu Yunniang drank tea calmly and didn't mind being peeked at. Well, isn't it just for others to look at and envy you if you are beautiful? !

The mother-in-law in the mansion came to ask the old lady for instructions on where to arrange the arrangements for Aunt Zhang and her cousin.

The old lady thought for a while, then smiled and said, let's arrange it at Su Yuexuan next to Yi'an Courtyard. Being so close allows the old sisters to walk around and chat more.

The eldest lady stood up to leave and was busy arranging the household items and arranging for her mother-in-law. Liu Yunniang also took the opportunity to leave.

The two sisters-in-law went out one after the other. The eldest lady deliberately walked a few steps slowly, and they walked side by side in the garden.

The eldest lady saw that there was no one around and the girls were far away, so she took Liu Yunniang's hand and whispered, "Yunniang, you don't know something. This cousin and our second father were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. , the elders on both sides hope that the two families will get closer."

"But who would have thought that the second master would go out for a trip and come back clamoring to marry you? Aunt Zhang also said, maybe he was fascinated by the vixen. It seems that you came so suddenly." After saying this, the eldest lady pursed her lips and smiled again.

"Of course, our Yun Niang is more beautiful. She outperformed that cousin and made the second master give up his cousin and take you. It hurts like a heart~"

Liu Yunniang rolled her eyes inwardly. The eye drops were too obvious. In the mouth of the eldest lady, Cheng Deqing was the unfaithful person who took advantage of her lust, while Liu Yunniang became the third party who intervened.

Hey~ Since she doesn’t want to see them doing well, then she has to show off and show off~

Liu Yunniang smiled sweetly, "Who made me naturally beautiful? How can we be sure about marriage? The two families have not made a small decision. Whoever the second master marries is a matchmaker, and he is fair and aboveboard. Sister-in-law, don't you think so?"

"Our second master, if nothing else, is a serious man. He swore that he would only be with me in his life. He studied hard behind closed doors for the past few days. The gentlemen in the school all praised our second master for his bright future."

"I don't want to think about anything else. I'm just waiting for the second master to take me to be a noble lady. I have always wanted a big-sleeved shirt like the one worn by the county magistrate's wife. It is elegant and romantic. My father asked the master when he was a child. Give me instructions and say that I am destined to be a noble lady."

snort! The merchant girl only thinks about good things, wears a big-sleeved shirt, and waits for the second master to pass the exam first before dreaming!

The eldest lady's face was twisted with jealousy. She tried her best to squeeze out a smile and said dryly, "These days are so long. My brothers and sisters are so lucky. One day it will come true."

Liu Yunniang also felt bored when she said it. She was living a good life and it was none of other people's business. Why bother to show off her quick words? What's more, some people's psychology is dark. The more they compare, the more distorted they become. Why bother looking for trouble.

The family didn't look up and down, and there was no need to look cross-eyed. The eldest lady just said a few sour words, secretly hoping that they would have a good life, and did not do anything extraordinary.

I heard that the uncle went to Yihua Building all day long to fool around, but the eldest lady still wanted to keep up the facade. Poor people too.

Forget it, look away, she's already having a bad life, why bother arguing with her, just be nice and nice on the surface.

Thinking of this, Liu Yunniang took the eldest lady's hand and said softly, "This woman can't rely solely on men to live her life. If a man treats us well, then we should repay him. If a man treats us badly, shouldn't we?" You can’t live without complaining all day long? Why bother!”

"Let's live a good life by ourselves. We have someone to rely on and take good care of the children. The man is just a decoration. He has money to spend, a house to live in, and people to talk to. This is also a good life. My sister-in-law is also a capable person. She is responsible for running the house. A good hand, do you think what I said is right?"

The eldest lady had never heard of such words. She was so shocked that her eyes bulged out. She pointed at Liu Yunniang and was speechless.

Liu Yunniang didn't expect that she, an ancient woman who strictly abides by the ancient motto "Follow your father at home, obey your husband and your son in death", could suddenly turn around.

Ancient boudoir instruction books require women to abide by etiquette and be loyal and unswerving, but they are very cruel to women. Women have completely become men's appendages, without thoughts and souls, spending their entire lives caring for their husbands and raising children.

She is the core of modern people. Cheng Deqing does not abuse her or treat her harshly. She can accept living tied up with Cheng Deqing physically, but her spirit is free. She wants to do things that make her happy and comfortable. matter.

The two said goodbye at the door of Tingtao Courtyard. The eldest lady's heart was still in turmoil, so Liu Yunniang smiled lightly, waved her sleeves, and left.
