Daming female local tyrant

"Girl! Are you alright? Is it because the food you ate at night was unclean, and you feel uncomfortable after eating it?" Jing Lan hurriedly asked when she saw this.

Before Shen Wan could answer Jing Lan, she covered her mouth with one hand and retched a few times.

The green bamboo that had already made the bed heard Jing Lan's words, and also came over. Seeing Shen Wan like this, she went to bring the wooden basin, ready to catch the vomit for Shen Wan.

She said: "It must be that the food that Zhao Siniang went to buy today is not clean, and the girl feels uncomfortable after eating, that's why she wants to vomit."

Seeing their two little maids looking at her nervously, Shen Wan thought it was too early to tell them about her pregnancy.But if they don't say it, they will feel sorry for worrying about themselves.

After thinking about it, she decided to wait for a while and settle down here.

Fortunately, her morning sickness is just retching, which is not serious and passed quickly.

"I'm fine, Cuizhu take the basin away, you and Jinglan haven't washed your face yet."

"Girl, are you really alright?"

"Ah."

Only then did Cui Zhu take the wooden basin away, and she also said that it was okay if she and Jing Lan didn't wash their faces today.

Ever since Jing Lan came to serve Shen Wan, she had never seen Shen Wan retching like this, so she believed that Shen Wan must have had stomach discomfort after eating the food Zhao Siniang bought from a small restaurant in Jinhe Town.

She wiped Shen Wan's feet, put on embroidered shoes for her, helped her stand up, and then said that she would go to the kitchen to watch Zhao Siniang cook tomorrow, and asked her to make the food cleaner.As long as she doesn't eat food outside, Shen Wan will feel better and won't feel sick to her stomach.

Shen Wan listened silently, without making a sound, but her heart was warm.

She found that since she came to the Shen family's old house in Suzhou, Jing Lan seemed to be able to work immediately, taking the initiative to arrange this and that.In the past at Shen's house in Jinling, she had Mama Xia, An Chun and An Dong by her side, so she couldn't show Jing Lan.

Shen Wan has always hoped to train Jing Lan to be her right-hand man.I thought that she needed to be taught step by step slowly, and it would take a long time for Jing Lan to get started.

But now it seems that Jing Lan is far smarter and more capable than she thought.

To be honest, Shen Wan was very happy to see Jing Lan like this.

Also, when we arrived at the old house in Suzhou, the situation here was so bad, she started to have morning sickness again, Jing Lan became capable, and she cared so much for her, Shen Wan inexplicably felt that she wanted to lean on her narrow shoulders.

With this thought, Shen Wan grabbed Jing Lan's hand and didn't let go.

When Jing Lan helped her to sit down on the canopy bed in the bedroom on the west side, she asked Jing Lan to come and accompany her after washing up.

Jing Lan noticed that what she said was to stay with her, not to be on duty at night, meaning she wanted to share the bed with Shen Wan.

Ever since Shen Wan asked her to sleep next to her last time, but Jing Lan refused, Shen Wan never asked for that again.

Jing Lan used to refuse to share the bed with Shen Wan. At that time, she thought that Shen Wan was a married woman and her master. The time they spent together was short, and she was young. You can't get hotheaded and have a relationship with Shen Wan.

Now, she still doesn't want to share the bed with Shen Wan, because she is afraid that the ambiguity between the two will continue to ferment, and something will happen if she can't control it.

But because Shen Wan reconciled with Xiao Yulang, she was exiled by Mrs. Li to such a dilapidated old house in Suzhou, and all her money was confiscated by the Shen family.Jing Lan felt that this must be a major blow to Shen Wan. Although she was calm on the surface, she must still feel sad and helpless in her heart.

Looking around, under the light from the dim oil lamp, there are mottled walls, decayed doors and windows, and apart from the canopy bed against the wall, there are few pieces of furniture.This place is really too shabby and dilapidated, compared with Shen Wan's previous residence, it is as if one is on the ground and the other is in the sky.

She also remembered that when she first saw Shen Wan in the elegant study room of the Shen family's other courtyard, she was astonished and admiring for the first time.

The comparison between the proud young lady in the past and the young lady who is now in distress made it impossible for Jing Lan to say the words of rejection.

She met Shen Wan's earnest gaze, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Then I'll wait for you."

"Ah."

Jing Lan raised the brocade tent, Shen Wan took off her embroidered shoes and went to bed, leaned on the pillow, Jing Lan pulled the brocade quilt over to cover Shen Wan, then put down the tent again, saying that she would come when she went.

She went outside and together with Cuizhu, made Shen Wan wash her face and feet with the remaining water.

Cuizhu said in a long-winded manner: "Tomorrow, I will ask the girl to bring some money out, and I will buy the basins, bathtubs and other things for washing first, and while the old steward Yan and those two boys are still in Jinhe Town If we stay for a day, we can let those two boys go and buy them for us. In addition, the weeds all over the yard have to be pulled out, and we have to buy some realgar and sprinkle it around to repel insects and snakes, and let the mice I couldn’t hide myself either. Just now when I went out to pour water, I saw several mice running around in the grass and a snake, which scared me a lot..."

As she spoke, her eyes widened, she patted her chest with one hand, and said, "I hope these things don't come into the house tonight, or I'll be so scared that I won't be able to sleep."

Jing Lan felt that her expression was a bit exaggerated, and she hadn't recognized the reality.

Isn't it normal to see rats, snakes and insects in the Shen family's old house in Suzhou? It's all at this point, what's the use?

Before wearing it, if Jing Lan saw these things, she would definitely faint from fright, but now, she will no longer be afraid.

Seeing Jing Lan's calm expression, Cui Zhu asked, "By the way, Sister Lan, are you afraid of these things?"

Jing Lan shook her head and said: "I think tomorrow you should go with me to buy wooden pots, barrels and other things, let those two young men pull out the weeds in the courtyard, and clean up the entire courtyard where the Xiulou is located. Those jobs are not easy and time-consuming, let's go run errands and buy things."

"By the way, call Zhao Siniang and let her take us to buy it. You can also negotiate the price and spend less money."

"it is good."

After washing the face and feet, Cuizhu took out the footwashing water for the two of them in a wooden bucket and poured it out, and then came back and bolted the door.

Fortunately, there is a latch on the door of Xiulou, which can lock the door.

The last embroidered building to enter the old Shen family house in Suzhou is five rooms downstairs and five rooms upstairs.

Downstairs, there is a canopy bed in the west tip room and the east tip room. Shen Wan lives in the west tip room, and Jinglan and Cui Zhu live in the east tip room.

When Jing Lan waited for Shen Wan to lie down on the bed in the west tip room, the bed in the east tip room was also paved with green bamboos.

Although Shen Wan was exiled by Mrs. Li to the old house in Suzhou and had no money, the bed was covered with a lot of bunks.This really corresponds to what Shen Wan's mother Yu Shi said at the beginning, if she didn't take the curtains, quilts, clothes, etc. from the houses where Shen Wan lived in Shen Wan's family in Jinling, she might not even be able to clean up the place where she lives.

I thought that Jing Lan would live with me in the East Point Room tonight, but when Jing Lan picked up the oil lamp and walked towards the East Point Room, he told her that he was going to the West Point Room to accompany the eldest lady tonight, not to live with Cuizhu. .

As soon as Cuizhu heard it, she screamed and said, "No, no, I'm afraid, Sister Lan, you can take me to sleep with the eldest lady!"

Jing Lan immediately rejected her request, because she understood Cui Zhu's sleeping appearance very well, and taking her to sleep with Shen Wan would scare the eldest lady.

So she explained the reason why Cuizhu refused to sleep with the eldest lady, and also said that the eldest lady never asked her to go to watch at night, and she probably knew that she would grind her teeth and talk in sleep, making people unable to sleep because of the noise.In addition, Cuizhu needs to make it clear that she is working in the Su family's old house, not in Jinling Shen's house as a maid, if she doesn't quickly grow up her courage, she won't be able to serve and protect the young lady well.In this way, what does the eldest lady want her to do, it is better to sell her and buy a brave maid again.

What Jing Lan said really frightened Cui Zhu, she felt that what Jing Lan said was very reasonable, if she was too timid, what would the eldest miss keep her for?A cowardly maid who just caused trouble to the eldest lady and couldn't even protect herself, the eldest lady must have despised her, and then sold herself out of displeasure.To be honest, she is already familiar with Jing Lan now, and she is used to serving the eldest lady. If she is really sold out and goes to a strange place to serve strange people, then she will cry to death.

"Then, I, I'll sleep here, but, Sister Lan, you leave the oil lamp to me." Cuizhu said weakly.

Jing Lan agreed, and put the oil lamp on an armchair in front of the bed.

Cuizhu asked herself to climb onto the bed and get under the covers, so that Jinglan could leave.

Jing Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she agreed to her. Seeing Cuizhu climbed onto the bed, got into the bed, and put down the curtains under the cotton wadding, she left the East Branch Room and went to the West Branch Room in the dark. .

After entering the Xishao Room, Jing Lan closed the door, went to hold the oil lamp, went to check that the window sash was closed, and when she saw that everything was in order, she went to the bed where Shen Wan was lying, and put the oil lamp on the bed. On the small table in front of the bed, take off your clothes and shoes and go to bed.

After getting into bed, she knelt on the bed, scooped up the hanging part of the curtain, and pressed it under the mattress.

Especially for the tent door, she even took out the needle and thread in her purse to roughly sew the two sides of the tent.

Shen Wan watched her so busy, she couldn't feel curious, especially when she saw her take out the needle and thread in her purse to sew the curtains on both sides of the tent, she couldn't help asking why she did this.

Jing Lan said as she sewed: "The girl also saw that there are rats, snakes, and many insects in this old house. We just moved in, and we didn't use realgar to repel snakes, rats, insects and ants. If you don't sew the curtains up, I'm afraid that those things will get in, and the girl and I are afraid that we won't be able to sleep well."

After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn't help but praise Jing Lan for her carefulness and ability.

Jing Lan pursed her lips and smiled, her hands kept on working. She also said that she had just discussed with Cui Zhu that tomorrow the weeds in the yard will be removed by two servants brought by Mr. Yan. Go with Cuizhu to buy wooden basins, wooden barrels, bath barrels and realgar.

She asked Shen Wan if she made such an arrangement properly.

Of course Shen Wan said yes, and said that she thought about Zhou Xiang, so she would do as she said.

Jing Lan hesitated for a moment, then asked Shen Wan how much money she had, because it was related to how much she could buy, what to buy first, what to buy next, and how to arrange her daily life in the future.
