Daming female local tyrant

Jing Lan got out of the carriage with her half basket of snacks, and what came into her eyes was a tall gatehouse that looked like a phoenix spreading its wings and was called "Wufenglou" by the locals.

On the forehead of the gate tower are engraved with four big characters of "Brilliant High Arch", two feet square.

Standing on both sides of the gatehouse were a few well-dressed boys in green clothes. When they saw Shen Wan getting off the carriage, they hurried forward and bowed to salute.

Shen Wan just raised her hand and walked over, followed by Mother Xia, An Chun and An Dong, and finally Jing Lan and Cui Zhu.

Ever since the green bamboo was moved to the house on the back street of the Confucius Temple, after being treated by a doctor, it was completely healed when she returned to Shen's house with Shen Wan today.She was in a carriage with Jing Lan, An Chun and An Dong.

Among the group, apart from Shen Wan herself, it was Mother Xia and Jing Lan who knew that Shen Wan was going to make up with Xiao Yulang, and no one else knew.Therefore, An Chun and An Dong were naturally wondering why their master wanted to bring Jing Lan and Cui Zhu back to Shen's house, and when these two were removed from Xiao's house, didn't it mean that they were infected with the epidemic?Although they seem to be sick now.

However, it's not many days. If Jinglan and Cuizhu are really infected with the epidemic, will these few days be really good?What if the disease is brought back to the Shen family and the people of the Shen family are infected with the epidemic?

To be honest, Shen Wan asked Jing Lan and Cui Zhu to ride in a carriage with them, they were still a little worried.So after the two got into the car, An Chun asked them if they were both recovering from their illnesses?

Jing Lan said that Cui Zhu was cured, but she was not sick at all.

"Not sick? Cuizhu is infected with the epidemic, you live in the same house with her, and the disease will happen sooner or later. I don't know what the girl thinks, so I brought you back to Shen's house together." An Chun muttered.

"The epidemic? Sister, I don't have the epidemic. The doctor who treated me said that I only vomited and had diarrhea after eating bad food." Cuizhu hurriedly argued.

"..." Now it was An Chun and An Dong's turn to be dumbfounded. They looked at each other, thinking that if what Cui Zhu said was true, then Jing Lan and Cui Zhu were moved out of Xiao's house, probably belonged to their girl mean.It reminds me of the rumors in the Xiao family that Jinglan and Cuizhu would be given to Young Master Sun by the master as housemates, and Young Master Sun returned from Yangzhou in advance.In this way, the girl did this because she didn't want Young Master Sun to touch Jinglan and Cuizhu, so she used Jinglan and Cuizhu's epidemic as an excuse to move them to the girl's house in the back street of the Confucius Temple .

Thinking of this level, the two breathed a sigh of relief, and An Dong earnestly taught them: "You two should be extra careful when you return to the Shen's house, don't talk too much, don't mind your own business, and remember the etiquette we taught. The family is more disciplined, because the Shen family is the head of the famous family in Jinling, and some members of the family are officials in the court, the words and deeds of the Shen family's servants must conform to the Shen family's family rules."

Jing Lan and Cui Zhu nodded as they listened, and finally they both agreed that they must be careful and not foul or cause trouble.

Shen Wan led Jing Lan and the others all the way through the foyer, the screen door, and walked through four or five courtyards in a row, before stopping at a wide courtyard.

There is a beautifully decorated two-story building on the north side of the courtyard. There are a few maidservants dressed in red and green standing at the gate downstairs. When they see Shen Wan, they all come up to salute Shen Wan.

Shen Wan said a few words to them, and two thirteen or fourteen-year-old maidservants came over. They walked up to Jinglan and Cuizhu, and said that their aunt and grandma had ordered them to follow them to the antelope.Only when the eldest aunt saw his wife did she come out and follow the eldest aunt.

Jing Lan and Cui Zhu nodded, followed them to the side room next to the tea room and waited for Shen Wan to see her parents and wait for someone to come out.

While they were sitting and waiting for Shen Wan, a servant girl from the Shen family came in and poured them two glasses of water, and Jing Lan grabbed some dried sweet potatoes from the basket for her to eat.

The maid looks thirteen or fourteen years old, looks upright, and wears a blue cloth bijia.

She answered, smiled and sat down to talk to the two of them. She said that her name was Liu Er, she was the third-class maid at the wife's place, and she usually took care of several large teapots on the stove in the pantry.When she saw Jinglan and Cuizhu coming with her aunt, she knew that they were serving her aunt.

Liu Er said that the two of them had met each other, and asked if they were the maidservants of the Xiao family, and this time they went back to their mother's house with the eldest aunt to visit relatives.

Cui Zhu spoke quickly, she said: "Sister An Lan and I are not the maidservants of the Xiao family, we used to be in the other courtyard of the Shen family."

Liu'er groaned, and asked which Shen family courtyard they were from, because there are many Shen family courtyards.

"It's Qixia Mountain." Jing Lan told her.

Liu'er said it's not far there.

Jing Lan was about to ask about the situation of the Shen family, and wanted to have a general understanding of the Shen family. There was someone named Liu Er in the tea room next door.

Liu'er agreed with a crisp voice, and hurriedly stood up and walked out, not even having time to say hello to Cui Zhu and Jing Lan that she was gone.

After Liu'er opened the curtain and walked out, Cui Zhu told Jing Lan that this time she followed her master to the Shen family to see the world again, and just looking from the gatehouse outside, she knew that the Shen family was richer and more powerful than the Xiao family.

Now she is very envious of these servant girls of the Shen family, and really hopes that the master can stay in the Shen family for a few more days, if only she doesn't go back to the Xiao family.

Jing Lan couldn't help sighing: "You, you're just a person who doesn't want to change, I hope you don't step on the low and praise the high in the future."

Cuizhu curled her lips, dissatisfied with Jinglan talking about herself like this, she asked Jinglan: "Could it be that you don't like the Shen family?"

There is no savage Xiao Ruyu, no lecherous Xiao Yulang, nor the flirtatious and vicious Tang Duanshu here, of course Jing Lan likes it here.

I don't know why, when she got out of the carriage just now and saw the grand and solemn gatehouse of the Shen family, she liked it here, and felt that there was a sense of family here.

More importantly, Shen Wan told her that she would not go back to Xiao's house in the future and would always live in Shen's house, so it was only natural that Shen Wan was here and she was here too.

"I like it too, but it's not the kind of liking you like." Jing Lan said with a slight smile.

"And what do you like?"

"Don't tell you, hey!"

……

In the west room of Ronghui Hall in Shen's parents' room, Shen Wan's mother-in-law, Mrs. Yu, took her hand and asked her to sit with her on a red sandalwood Arhat couch, and said with a smile: "Since the new year is over, when we arrive Today, I haven't seen you for more than three months. Today is good. You come back to see me as your mother. It's just that if you want to come back, don't ask a servant to send a letter saying that you want to go back to your mother's house. It's good to be your mother. Ask the cook to prepare some of your favorite dishes."

Shen Wan didn't answer the question, but instead asked about her father.

Yu said: "I accepted the post today and went to swim the lake with some of his so-called famous people. I won't be back until dark."

Shen Wan asked her younger brother Shi Si again.

"Naturally, he is in school at this time. When he comes out of school later, I will send someone to pass him over. Let's have dinner together at night."

"Oh……"

Shen Wan raised her head and looked at a room full of servants serving her mother, she said to them: "Go down first, I have something to say to my mother."

After finishing speaking, she said to Mother Xia and An Chun An Dong behind her, "You guys go out too."

Yu Shi was not surprised or dazed at all, she picked up the teacup, gently blown away the floating tea, and took a couple of sips of tea. When she put down the teacup, all the maids and women in the room had already left, except for her. With my daughter, no one else.

"I knew you had something to do when you came back without sending someone to say anything. Just now you asked your father and your brother again, but they were all looking for something to do. I really guessed it right." Yu leaned over. Going to get closer to Shen Wan, he smiled and asked her, "Speaking of which, what's the matter?"

"Mother, he came back from Yangzhou yesterday."

"How long has Yulang been to Yangzhou? Could it be that he brought some Yangzhou skinny horses back?"

Yu knows that her daughter has a bad relationship with her husband Xiao Yulang, and Xiao Yulang often goes out, leaving her daughter alone in the vacant room.During the Chinese New Year, Shen Wan came back to her natal family and told her that the elders of the Xiao family were dissatisfied that she had not conceived after three years of marriage and wanted to take concubines for Xiao Yulang.

In Yangzhou, there are young and beautiful women who specialize in training|teaching them piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, cooking, singing and dancing, and selling them to rich officials and eunuchs as concubines, or giving them to dignitaries as playthings.

At that time, people called this kind of woman Yangzhou thin horse.

Therefore, Yu asked this question based on what she had heard and understood.She thought that her daughter was upset because Xiao Yulang bought a few beautiful Yangzhou skinny horses from Yangzhou and prepared to be a concubine, so she went back to her natal family in a fit of anger.

"No, mother, it's not the Yangzhou skinny horse, but yesterday he had a private meeting with his cousin Tang Duanshu in He's tea house as soon as he came back. I heard the servant's report, and I couldn't get angry, so I took the two uncles of the second room to him. Catch it with Tang Duanshu."

"what?"

Yu Shi, who had been very calm before, was not so calm now, her eyes were wide open, and she was quite surprised.

Suddenly, a needle could be heard in the room.

Mrs. Yu, the wife of the patriarch of the clan, was quickly thinking about the impact of this incident, as well as all aspects that would be affected, and what her daughter should do in this incident.

After thinking about it, she first condemned Xiao Yulang and Tang Duanshu as nothing, and said that it was right for her daughter to lead someone to catch the rape. A woman like Tang Duanshu who has no shame and only wants to seduce the men of the famous family to turn over is She should be ruined.

Then, she said that her daughter stayed at her mother's house for a period of time, and let Xiao Yulang know she was wrong, so she went to Shen's house to admit her mistake and apologize, and then went back with him.

"Mother, I won't go back, and I have decided to make peace with Xiao Yulang." Shen Wan said firmly after her mother finished speaking.

"Heli!" Yu said in surprise, and stood up from the Arhat's couch all of a sudden, looking at Shen Wan with an incredulous expression.

She could hear the firmness in her daughter's voice, but she still looked at her daughter unwillingly, hoping to see a trace of hesitation on her face.

Yu Shi was quickly disappointed, she couldn't see what she expected at all.

Shen Wan was her daughter, and everyone said that knowing a daughter is like a mother, she could tell at a glance, her daughter didn't come here just to play.This child has been determined since she was a child, and no one can talk to her about anything she decides, except for her giving up.

Therefore, she was extremely sure that her daughter really decided to make peace with Xiao Yulang.

Yu Shi sat down slowly, put one hand on the small table on the Luohan couch, and rubbed the center of her eyebrows with the other hand, she felt very headache.

To be honest, as a woman, she could fully understand how her daughter felt when she caught Xiao Yulang having an affair with her cousin Tang Duanshu.She thought that if she was a daughter, she would be very painful and very angry, and wanted to leave Xiao Yulang with her.Even, she is worse than her daughter, at least the daughter sitting in front of her at the moment does not have a haggard face, her eyes are not red and swollen from crying, she is far stronger than herself.

However, she still wanted to persuade her daughter not to be so impulsive, because even if her daughter asked to make up with Xiao Yulang, she might not be able to leave.The elders of the Xiao family and the Shen family would not agree to their daughter reconciling with Xiao Yulang, and Xiao Yulang himself probably did not want to either.

Also, even if she made peace with the lustful and immoral Xiao Yulang, would her daughter find a good man in the future?The vast majority of women remarry, and those who marry are older widowers who marry to be their stepmothers.She worried that because her daughter reconciled with Xiao Yulang, her youth would be wasted so much in the future, and she would marry a worse person than Xiao Yulang.

Mrs. Yu told her daughter what she thought of, and she said that she was someone who had experienced it before, so she wanted to persuade her daughter. She said earnestly: "Many men from famous families have three wives and four concubines. You, sooner or later To see your husband with other women. No matter whether you are used to seeing it or not, you have to accept it. You are uncomfortable and angry at the moment, and I, as a mother, can understand it. It is better to be quiet first, Let her family rest for a few days, and wait until the anger subsides. Maybe, after a few days, you won't think so."
