Daming female local tyrant

Shen Xian went back to the house angrily, not even looking at the dowry list of his daughter Shen Jiao that his wife Pang showed him.

Shen Jiao will get married in the middle of next month, to Huang Zhigao, the second son of the Huang family, the last of the four famous Jinling families who have a good relationship with the Shen family.

It was less than a month before Shen Jiao got married. Pang had prepared a generous dowry for his daughter. Looking left and right, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. He showed it to Shen Xian, but Shen Xian changed his previous concern about this matter. attitude, walked away impatiently.

He went to the study and asked someone to ask his son Shen Shilian for questioning.

As soon as Shen Shilian saw his father, he asked: "Father, you went to find the old lady, what did she say? There are rumors about Shen Wan in this house..."

Shen Xian blew his beard angrily, and said: "The old lady still thinks it's a rumor, and anyone who spreads the word will be arrested and sold out."

Shen Shilian was taken aback: "Ah? I'm afraid the old lady is confused. Why did she not pay attention to the rumors that spread all over the house? Even when Dad went to see her in person, she wouldn't listen to it. The old lady is not like this usually. .”

Shen Xian said: "I also feel strange, I can't figure it out even after thinking about it."

Shen Shilian lowered his head in thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Father, half an hour ago, the boy got a note from that man, saying that Qiuyun and Qiuwen, the maids in front of the old lady, accompanied Shen Wan out for a while. trip……"

"What?" Shen Xian suddenly raised his voice, frowned and said, "No wonder, I said that the old lady is so different from before, there must be something... related to it."

"The child asks that person to inquire carefully to see what Shen Wan has been doing, so that the old lady can ignore the shameless things she has done."

"Hurry up, my father thinks that what Shen Wan is going out to do may not be easy, otherwise the old lady wouldn't have protected her like this."

"Yes, baby, let's go."

After Shen Shilian withdrew from his father's study, he went back to his own study and wrote a note, folded it, put it in a small porcelain jar, and asked his confidant maid to take it and bury it under the east wall of the garden behind. Under an osmanthus tree.

As dusk fell, someone went to the osmanthus tree and dug out the small porcelain jar, took out the note inside, and looked at it, then crumpled the note into a ball, chewed and swallowed it in his mouth, and finally Put the porcelain jar into the sleeve and wear it back.

At the same time, Shen Wan was lying on the beauty couch in her bedroom, and Xia's mother was sitting on a porcelain plinth next to her, talking to her in a low voice.

"...Girl, I'm sure she's right. She went to the back garden in the afternoon and buried a porcelain pot under the osmanthus tree. Yun'er followed to see it. It said that the girl was accompanied by Qiu Wen and Qiu Yun, the maids of the old lady. Went out for a while, and even opened the warehouse to get things. Yun'er was waiting there, and saw Cuihui, the servant girl in front of the second young master, come to take the jar and left... A quarter of an hour ago, she went out again, and Yun'er followed ... It can be seen that she has really committed a betrayal of the Lord, girl, do you want to catch her and beat her after she comes back, and hand her over to Madam Deng to sell?"

"Don't be too busy." Shen Wan waved her hand, "Don't startle the snake, this time I will definitely catch their father and son and get rid of them."

Fu sighed again: "I really didn't expect that in the end she was just like Cuizhu, I really couldn't think of her..."

Xia's mother seemed to be comforting, but at the same time seemed to be disdainful, she said: "Knowing people's faces but not their hearts, people always change."

Her words touched Shen Wan's mind for no reason, her long brows were furrowed, as if her mind was very heavy.

Seeing Shen Wan like this, Xia's mother seemed to guess what she was thinking, but Xia's mother did not speak to persuade her.

Say what?

Can it be said that Jing Lan will not change? To be honest, as Shen Wan's wet nurse, Mama Xia really can't figure out how her eldest child fell in love with Jing Lan who is also a woman after a trip to Suzhou.

When the old lady found out, she kicked Jing Lan out, and said that if Shen Wan was with Jing Lan again, she would take Jun Pei away and Shen Wan would not be allowed to raise Jun Pei.

As long as the old lady is around, she will definitely not let Shen Wan be with Jing Lan.

Xia's mother knew that Jing Lan had regained her freedom, so she might change after she went out, and her daughter would be in vain...

How can I persuade the girl to stop being confused and stop expecting to be with Jing Lan?

Xia's mother had no idea for a while, she lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

It was night, Shen Wan was sleeping on the same bed with her daughter, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She thought, it will be Qixi Festival soon, and Qixi Festival is the day when Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet, no matter what, she wants to see Jinglan on Qixi Festival.The old lady just used Jun Pei to threaten her not to associate with Jing Lan. As long as she didn't ask Jun Pei to stay in Shen's house, for example, let Jun Pei live in Yu's family, her mother's natal family, even if the old lady knew that she was meeting Jing Lan , there is no way.Or she could bring her weaving workshop into the Shen family and obtain great benefits for the Shen family in exchange. The old lady might be willing to turn a blind eye to make herself and Jing Lan happy.

Of these two methods, Shen Wan prefers the second one, after all, she still wants to see her daughter every day and grow up with her daughter.

Shen Wan decided to go to the old lady in two days and find out what she said.

For Jing Lan, let alone a weaving workshop, she would be willing to spend all of her wealth.

-

Jing Lan was lying on the red sandalwood bed on the ground floor of the embroidery building in the second room of the Lu family, and hadn't fallen asleep for a long time.

The red sandalwood Babu bed is exquisitely carved, very precious, and the tent is also burning with a good-smelling benzoin. The green bamboo mat under the body, the thin brocade quilt on the body, and the pea green curtain hang down, like water pouring down on the floor tiles in front of the bed. superior.

The room was silent, and the sound of the watchman calling the watch came from a distance.

This is her real home. It stands to reason that when she returns home, her heart should be at peace.

But she didn't think so, someone somewhere in Jinling City was always holding her heart, and she finally began to taste the pain of lovesickness.

"Hey..." Jing Lan sighed softly in the dark night, she thought, Shen Wan might not be able to sleep right now.She should miss herself even more.

Turning sideways, Jing Lan's hand was placed beside the porcelain pillow, which was empty, which made her a little unaccustomed to it. In the past, when she turned sideways, she would always touch that soft and soft person.

But at this moment, it was empty, as if a hole had been dug somewhere in my heart.

Qing Yao, who was on duty overnight on the Arhat couch opposite the rosewood bed where Jing Lan was sleeping, heard the sound of Jing Lan tossing and turning, and asked her if she couldn't sleep because of the choice of bed.

Jing Lan vaguely said yes.

Qingyao then said: "Girl, why don't you try counting, if you can't fall asleep, you will count, and you will fall asleep if you don't reach a hundred."

Jing Lan said: "Then I will count."

As a result, Jing Lan counted a thousand and still didn't fall asleep. She didn't fall asleep until she heard Qing Yao's soft snoring.

When she woke up the next day, because she didn't sleep well last night, Jing Lan was in low spirits and kept yawning.

Qingyao and Qingluo helped her wash, changed her dress and combed her hair. Panqiao, the maid from Qi's side, came over and said that his wife asked Jing Lan to wait in the Tongchun hall first, and that his wife would take Jinglan with her later. Shu Lan went to Qingyuan Hall to greet Yuan Shi.

Jing Lan said she knew, and she was accompanied by Qing Yao and Qing Luo to the front hall of Tongchun Hall. As soon as they arrived, Shu Lan was accompanied by her two maids, Danju and Dangui.

The two sisters met each other, greeted each other, and then stood aside without saying a word.

According to Shulan's temper, when meeting Jinglan, look up to the sky, pretend that Jinglan doesn't exist, let alone say hello.But last night after Jinglan returned to her room, her mother left her and her brother behind and gave them a lecture, telling the two brothers and sisters to be polite to Jinglan in front of everyone, and not let people gossip about them bullying the new big sister .

Without her father and Jinglan in front of her, Shulan would say whatever she wanted, she complained that her mother favored Jinglan, asked her to move the house, and gave her her dress, who is her mother's biological child? daughter.

Before Mrs. Qi could speak, Lu Chengyuan blurted out: "Idiot, you don't care about your own reputation, so why don't you care about your mother's reputation? Mother has her own reasons for doing that. If you move to the second floor, you can save a piece of meat. When the two dresses come out, you don’t have anything to wear? You always care about these things that you shouldn’t care about, and you look extremely stupid.”

"Hmph! You said I was stupid again, how smart do you think you are? You are so smart, why didn't you even pass the childbirth test, but Cheng Ze won the Juren!" Lu Shulan turned back at her brother.

Lu Chengyuan's face turned dark all of a sudden, as if ice arrows shot out of his tiny eyes, trying to shoot through Lu Shulan's body.

Seeing that her son was very angry, Mrs. Qi stood up and walked over to hit Lu Shulan, telling her to apologize to her son immediately, and if she heard her say that again, she would not give her a penny except her monthly allowance.

Lu Shulan felt aggrieved after being beaten by her mother, but she still apologized to Lu Chengyuan according to what her mother said.

Lu Chengyuan looked pale, and then said: "My ambition is not to be an official, but to be in charge of the family. Our Lu family has wealth and power, so why should I look far away."

Mrs. Qi agreed with her son's statement very much, she said: "My son is right. Erfang's family business is so big that those who go out to be officials will not be able to earn it for ten or twenty years. Why bother to go to Qiongjing Haoshou to take the exam?" Scholars go to Juren to go to Jinshi... the whole process of the exam is false, but the money you get is the real thing."

Turning her face away, she reprimanded Shu Lan: "Cheng Yuan will be the head of the second room from now on. If you don't respect him, when you get married and someone from your husband's family bullies you, let's see who will support you!"

After hearing this, Lu Shulan knew that what her mother said was true, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense to her brother anymore. On the contrary, she still smiled and said that she listened to both her brother and her mother.

They asked her to be polite to Jing Lan, and she stopped making troubles about moving the house and dressing Jing Lan.

So when she saw Jing Lan the next day, Lu Shulan reluctantly greeted Jing Lan with a salute.

The two sisters were waiting for Qi Shi to come out, after a while Qi Shi came out with a few maids and women, and they greeted her well.

Qi called them up, and then took them to Qingyuan Hall to greet her mother-in-law Yuan.

Called out, Yuan Shi took their mother and daughter to Fuhai Hall, and together with the elder sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law of the third room, greeted Feng's Daofu.

In the main hall of Fuhai Hall, there was a crowded group of people, all of whom were female relatives of Jing Lan.

Ever since Jing Lan appeared in Fuhai Hall, they all looked at Jing Lan together.
