Song female man

Yang Deyi ordered her two maidservants to get into the carriage, and asked the coachman to turn the carriage around and pass by the ox carts parked in the middle of the street.

Of course, before doing so, she talked to Liang Sanlang for a few words, for example, when she saw the stone mill on the bullock cart, she asked him, such a big stone mill was also moved here to sell tofu.

Liang Sanlang told her that he was indeed in the business of tofu business, and that Liang's tofu tasted very good. When the tofu shop opened in the future, he would invite her to patronize it.

So Yang Deyi knew that the tall and handsome young man standing not far under the carriage was surnamed Liang, and he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he didn't know if he had ever married a wife.However, when the carriage stopped at the young gentleman surnamed Liang to talk to him, she didn't see any woman coming out of it, so she guessed that the handsome man she fell in love with as soon as she saw it in front of her was not married.However, she wasn't sure, so after asking the coachman to detour the carriage, she decided to ask her servant girl to come here to buy tofu in a few days, and then she would inquire about everything she wanted to know.

When she lowered the car curtain, she took a deep look at Liang Sanlang and left a meaningful smile.

And Liang Sanlang nodded slightly towards her, with the corners of his lips upturned.

When the carriage left Zaoshu Street, Yang Deyi asked her two maids if they remembered the place just now.

Chun Tao and Bi Liu said in unison that they had remembered, these two maidservants had served Yang Deyi for more than ten years, so they naturally knew what kind of temper their master had.

"Okay." Yang Deyi leaned back, leaned against the wall of the carriage and started to doze off. Although she closed her eyes, the face of that handsome man surnamed Liang just now seemed to appear in front of her eyes again, so the corners of her lips curled up secretly.

The carriage staggered, and after traveling for an unknown amount of time, it finally stopped at the head of Renyi Street, Daxiangguo Temple.

This is an unusually magnificent five-entry mansion, which is the mansion bestowed by the current emperor to Yang Lixun, a member of the Privy Council and the military governor of Tongzhi.

Yang Lixun made great military exploits in his early years, the current emperor treats him very preferentially, his position is even higher than that of a Taiwei, it can be said that his background is not small.

The coachman parked the car outside the Xijiao Gate, then got out of the car, took the car stool and put it under the carriage, and respectfully asked Yang Deyi to get off the car.

Chuntao and Bi Liu got out of the car first, and then supported Yang Deyi to get out of the car, the master and servant entered the back house through the west corner gate.Many servants along the road saluted and greeted Yang Deyi, the most beloved youngest daughter of Yang Lixun and his wife Tan.Although Yang Deyi was married five years ago, she would still go back to her mother's house to stay for a few days every now and then.

And since her husband Di Zan was sick and bedridden two years ago, she spent more time returning to her natal home.

When Yang Deyi went straight to the residence of her parents in the third hospital, she met her two sisters-in-law who were playing Shuanglu with her mother, so she also stood aside and watched.After the round was over, Mrs. Tan washed her hands in the copper basin brought by the maidservant, and took the handkerchief from the maidservant to wipe her hands clean. Then she invited her daughter to sit down on the couch beside her to drink tea and talk.

Tan opened her mouth and asked her daughter how many days she planned to stay after this trip, and said that her husband was ill, so she should take care of her at his house.

This is also a cliché, but Yang Deyi has never heard of it. As for Mrs. Tan, she just talked about it, and never forced her daughter to really serve her husband's house.

When Tan's two daughters-in-law saw that the sister-in-law had returned to her natal home, and the mother-in-law chatted with the sister-in-law again, they voluntarily withdrew.It's not that they are not polite, but that Mrs. Tan doesn't like the two daughters-in-law to wait on her side every time she talks to her little daughter who has returned to her natal home.Probably there are always some private rooms belonging to the mother and daughter who say that they should not listen, so they are allowed to go back to the house to rest by themselves after the daughter returns to her natal home.

Yang Deyi took a few sips of tea, said that her official was dragging her illness so relentlessly, it was really annoying, and complained that he was dragging herself down, making her like a widow who stayed alone in an empty house for the past two years .If he had known earlier that he was a sick man, he should not have married him, or it would have been better to have divorced him before he got sick.

Tan said: "Your official was not chosen by you at the beginning. Your father said that his father was a fifth-rank official and he didn't want you to marry him, but you just fell in love with his outstanding appearance. I have never argued with your father. You, let you marry. Your father can say that Di Zan will not allow you to reconcile with him in one day. He is an official in the court, and he doesn't want to be called by his colleagues that our children are not benevolent..."

Yang Deyi asked disapprovingly after hearing this: "What if my officials go? Do you still want me to be a widow in Di's house?"

Mrs. Tan: "Your official has gone, so you will come home naturally, and your parents will choose a good husband for you to marry. Fortunately, you and your official have no heirs."

Yang Deyi thought of the handsome man surnamed Liang whom he met just now, and said, "Mother, I have my own ideas about future marriages, and I don't need you and father to worry about me."

"You still want to make up your own mind? That's not okay, you see you're not too young now, and it's like this..." Tan quickly waved his hands and said.

Yang Deyi reached out and grabbed her mother's arm and shook Saqiao: "My child will definitely not choose such a useless one in the future. Besides, our married daughter doesn't want anything, isn't it just because I like it, mother, you say yes It's not like this?"

Tan has no choice but to say, "This... is also true. Hey, you are spoiled by us."

Yang Deyi just laughed, and Tan also laughed when she saw her daughter like this.

A few days later, Yang Deyi ordered Chuntao, the maid in front of her, to go to the place where she met Liang Sanlang on Zaoshu Street that day to inquire about news.

Coincidentally, the Liang family's tofu shop opened that day, and Liang Sanlang and his sister Liang Erniang were both selling tofu in the shop.Chuntao squeezed over and bought two pieces of tofu, and then chatted with the women on Zaoshu Street who bought the tofu, and found out a lot about Liang Sanlang, so she went back and reported to Yang Deyi.

Yang Deyi ate the tofu made by the Liang family's siblings bought by Chuntao, and felt that the taste was really good.However, when she heard that Liang Sanlang had married a wife, she couldn't help frowning.However, when Chuntao said that when her wife was pregnant and raised at her mother's home in Yangliu Town, it would be several months before she came to the city after giving birth, she couldn't help but blinked and smiled.

After the beautiful wife Yang Deyi left, Liang Sanlang continued to direct people to move down from the bullock cart to make tofu stone mills, various tools and furniture.

During the period, Gao Dalang walked over and told Liang Sanlang what the boss wanted to pass on to him, Liang Sanlang nodded and said he understood, and Gao Dalang went back.

At dusk, everything was moved in, Liang Sanlang paid the money for renting a bullock cart and hiring someone to move, and then went to the outer courtyard where Xi's family was located.

Qu Dalang and his wife received him and arranged for him to live temporarily in an empty room in the outer courtyard.

Liang Sanlang sees that the Xi family is flourishing now, not only renting a large courtyard with two entrances, but also doing the business of seedlings and charcoal, and the business is doing very well, which makes him extremely envious, and at the same time he feels uncomfortable.He secretly thought that one day he must surpass Xi Erlang and be richer than him, and then he would be the envy of Xie Erniang.

When the Liang family stayed at Xi's house for a few days, Shunniang took Heiwa to Heshan to transport coal, and brought back almost 50 catties of coal at one time.

The charcoal shop on the other side of Mahang Street was also opened and began to sell coal.

As a result, Shun Niang was even busier, basically leaving early and returning late, and there was no day when she was free at home.

Fortunately, Shunniang is basically not at home, and Sister Song Yu has not come to visit again. It is estimated that everyone will be busy doing business to make money after this year. She also knows that Shunniang is busy. coming.This made Erniang Xie breathe a sigh of relief.

The days passed quickly, and it entered February in a blink of an eye. The bandages on Xie Erniang's head were also removed, and there was only a finger-sized scar left on her forehead and hairline.Shunniang ran to find a famous scar removal clinic in the city and bought a bottle of ointment, and asked Xie Erniang to apply the ointment to the scar every morning and evening, and the scar would disappear in a few months.Xie Erniang followed Shunniang's advice to get up early and go to bed late, after washing her face, she would apply this scar-removing ointment.There will be no effect in a short period of time, so if she wants to go out, she still needs to apply some powder, some rouge on her lips, and light makeup, so the scar on her forehead will not be visible easily.

Ever since her injury recovered, Erniang Xie wanted to go to the Feng family to visit Feng Zhen, and thanked her by the way.

However, due to Shunniang's resistance to Feng Zhen, she hesitated for a long time. It was not until the sixth day of February that she let Xing'er accompany her to buy spring clothes for her family when the spring began. She went to the street and hired a donkey cart. Visit Feng Zhen at the sixth house on Renyi Street near Daxiangguo Temple.

She didn't forget to put on her veil when she went out this time, and she dressed very plainly.

On the sixth day of February, the weather was fine. Xie Erniang, accompanied by Xing'er, left home early in the morning, hired a car, and asked the driver to drive to Renyi Street near Daxiangguo Temple.

When the coachman heard that they were going to Renyi Street, he curiously asked Xie Erniang if she had any relatives who worked as maids or servants in the houses of residents on that street.

Xie Erniang asked him why he said that, and the coachman said that the people living on Renyi Street were either rich or noble, and many high officials lived there.Because it is close to Daxiangguo Temple, the environment is quiet and full of Buddhist atmosphere, it has always been the place where dignitaries live together.

Hearing what the coachman said, Xie Erniang casually said that he was right, she was indeed going to visit a maidservant there.

Saying so, she winked at Xing'er, afraid that she would tell the truth soon.

Xing'er saw Xie Erniang's eyes and closed her mouth tightly.

It wasn't until the sixth house on Renyi Street, that is, the mansion with a big jujube tree at the door, that Xie Erniang got out of the car with Xing'er, paid the fare, and after the driver drove the car away, Xing'er asked Xie Erniang in a low voice why Don't allow yourself to be honest.Because Mrs. Feng is not a maid but a serious master.

Xie Erniang wore a veiled hat, and said to her through the light veil on the veiled hat: "I don't want people to know that I am in contact with Miss Feng. When I come to see Miss Feng today, no one can tell, including my boss, remember. .”

"Okay. I must listen to my wife and don't tell anyone." Although Xing'er couldn't figure out why the lady from the host family came to see Mrs. Feng so mysteriously, the lady from the host family was the best person to her from the Xi family. The words are always to be listened to.

Xie Erniang patted her on the shoulder with satisfaction, then pushed her, and asked her to talk to the servants at the gate of the mansion, and asked them to pass the news for her that she wanted to see their young lady, Feng Zhen.

Xing'er agreed, then walked over, chatted timidly with a few servants at the gate of the mansion, and repeated what Xie Erniang had taught her.

The servant at the gate of the mansion glanced at Xie Erniang who was standing not far away, and asked Xing'er to take her master to the west corner gate, and repeat this to the servant guarding the gate there.If they were lucky enough, that is to say, if their young lady was at home, they might meet her master.

Xing'er thanked the person who showed the way, and when she came back, she said what the person said. The master and the servant walked along the street for a long time before reaching the west corner gate.

In front of the west corner gate stood two young men about fifteen or sixteen years old. When Xing'er went over to say the same thing, one of the young men told them to wait for a while, and he went in to pass on the message.About a quarter of an hour later, the boy who went in to pass the message came out, followed by a woman.

When the woman saw Xie Erniang and Xing'er, she smiled and asked them to follow her in. When she reached the second gate, she handed them over to the woman on the second gate, who took them in and turned around. After a while, it stopped in front of a spacious and rich courtyard.

She told Xie Erniang and Xing'er that her little lady lived here.

After speaking, an ordinary-looking maid came out from the inside and said to Xie Erniang that her young lady invited Xie Erniang in to have tea and talk, while Xing'er was received by other maids.

Xie Erniang followed the maidservant into the main hall of the main house, and Feng Zhen was indeed sitting there. As soon as Feng Zhen saw her, she came up to her, and took her hand enthusiastically to sit down on the chair in the hall.Xing'er followed the other maids to sit in the ear room and eat fruit refreshments.

Feng Zhen was wearing women's clothing that day, a jade-colored beige and a dress, the black hair on her head was only loosely tied into a bun, and she tied her hair with a white jade hairpin. She looked beautiful and lovely.

Xie Erniang stared at her for a long time, then smiled and said that she could hardly recognize her in such a dress.

Feng Zhen laughed: "That's what I wear at home, and I like to wear men's robes when I go out, for convenience."

Xie Erniang: "You look good dressed like this, just like a fairy in the sky descending to earth. I am like a mud pig relying on a dog in front of you."

"Who said, Miss Xie doesn't think she is a beauty? Let's not talk about it, just say that when I met that Bai Jinyi a few days ago, didn't he straighten his eyes when he saw you? It can be seen that what you said is too modest, you Don't say that... By the way, the injury on your head..." Feng Zhen said so, and moved closer to look at Xie Erniang's forehead.

Xie Erniang told her that her injuries were all healed, but there was a small scar on her forehead near the hairline, and she put some powder on it, so it couldn't be seen unless she looked carefully.

After Feng Zhen heard this, she took a closer look. Xie Erniang could only smell the fresh orchid fragrance, and couldn't help but take a deep sniff, she liked the fragrance very much.

"Sure enough, there is a small scar. I have the imperial medicine for removing scars here. I will get you a bottle later. You can take it back and use it. Otherwise, the scars on San Yue's head will disappear, and you won't need to apply makeup in summer." covered up."

"Is this... royal medicine something I can use?"

"Things that are bestowed by the government are for people to use. This medicine is no better than other things. It can survive. I tell you to use it and you can use it."

As Feng Zhen spoke, she called the maid who served beside her to come over and bring the bottle of imperial medicine for scar removal from the medicine box in her house, and handed it to Erniang Xie.

Xie Erniang still hopes to use the queen's scar removal medicine, because every woman has a heart for beauty, and no one wants to leave a small scar on her face, let alone the size of a thumb, it is the size of a sesame seed. Because on the face, it will also be infinitely magnified in the heart.

So, she took the scar-removing medicine that Feng Zhen gave her, thanked her, and said that she only brought some jujube cakes to Feng Zhen this time, and asked her not to be disgusted.

When Feng Zhen took the basket that Xie Erniang handed her, she took out a piece of red date cake from the basket and ate it, and praised Xie Erniang for making it delicious.

"Why would you dislike it? I wouldn't be surprised if you gave me some dim sum made by those famous dim sum shops in Beijing, but it's the ones made by yourself that are delicious. I like them very much."

"That's good. Then I will come to see you later, and I will bring you the desserts and pastries I made. I learned these crafts from my mother. My mother's family has passed down several dim sum crafts. According to my mother, this craft is from my ancestors. It was handed down from an ancestor who made dim sum in a rich family's house..."

The two chatted and laughed happily, and Feng Zhen said that she didn't know when she could go to Xi's house to eat special dishes.

Xie Erniang said that she would have to wait ten or eight days, because she would go back to her natal home in two days, and when she came back from her natal home, Feng Zhen would be able to go to Xi's house to eat special dishes.However, she learned this special dish from officials, because her officials are very busy and are basically not at home, so she has to cook this dish by herself.However, she asked Feng Zhen to rest assured, because she has also learned a lot about the special dishes that her officials can cook, and they are not much different.

Feng Zhen: "Okay, then I'll wait until you come back from your mother's house to bother me. Today is the sixth day of February. Look at the [-]th of February or the [-]th of February. Which day is better?"

Xie Erniang thought about it and told her: "I will go back to my mother's house on the eighth day of February, probably on the tenth day of February, and I will be back on the eleventh day of February at the latest, so come on the twelfth day of February."

"Okay, then I will come to eat the delicious dishes cooked by Mrs. Xie on February [-]th."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

After talking for another half an hour, Xie Erniang was about to get up and leave, Feng Zhen tried her best to persuade her to have lunch before leaving.

Xie Erniang couldn't say that she came here as an excuse to buy clothes for her family, so she said that she had to rush back to cook, and she couldn't stay, and she was determined to leave.

Seeing this, Feng Zhen couldn't force her to stay, so she had to send her out of the mansion. She was supposed to ask the mansion's carriage to take her off, but Xie Erniang refused to let her go, so she had to give up.

Xie Erniang took Xing'er out of Feng's residence, walked to the end of Renyi Street, rented a donkey cart and went to Shimo Street to shop and buy clothes.

After buying the clothes, it was already past noon, she and Xing'er went to the kitchen to eat something casually, Xing'er went to wait in front of Mrs Liu, replaced Mrs Qi, Mrs Qi went to Xie Erniang's room to look at the newly bought clothes, tried them on. Wear new clothes.

When trying on new clothes, the women always have endless things to say, and it's the same with Mrs. Qi and Erniang Xie.

The two sisters-in-law took turns putting on new dresses, discussing the material, color and price of the dresses, etc. After a while, the sky darkened, and the two went to the kitchen together to cook.

In the evening, Shunniang came back to eat, washed up and went upstairs after eating, but when she hugged Xie Erniang, she smelled a scent of jasmine from her hair that was different from the jasmine fragrance she usually used, so she asked her to add clothes to Shimo Street today Did you also buy a new fragrance powder?

Xie Erniang said she didn't buy it.

Shunniang said that there was a new fragrance on Xie Erniang's hair, which smelled very pleasant, a bit like orchid fragrance.

When Xie Erniang heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She remembered the orchid fragrance that overflowed from her clothes when Feng Zhen came to see Feng Zhen today. She sniffed deeply at that time and thought it smelled good.Unexpectedly, after returning home, the orchid fragrance from Feng Zhen's body touched her body, and Shun Niang smelled it immediately.

So, she stammered and told Shunniang that today she was going to buy new clothes accompanied by Xing'er, squeezed around in those ready-to-wear shops, her body probably smelled of the lavender of those women who bought dresses.

Shunniang didn't think much, and accepted the explanation.

Xie Erniang then changed the subject, saying that she planned to go back to her mother's house on the eighth day of the eighth day, and estimated that she would not be able to come back until the tenth day of the new year. At that time, she would let Shitou take her there, and then let Shitou pick her up.She said it in advance so that Niang Shun could make arrangements.Because Shunniang had to go to the charcoal shop on Mahang Street every day, and she had to take a car when she went out.

Shunniang nodded and said that she had made a note of it, and tomorrow she would go to a good pharmacy in the capital to buy some good herbs, and let the lady bring them back for her father-in-law to eat.In addition, she asked Xie Erniang to ask her parents-in-law if the money in their hands was tight. If it was tight, after a while, she would collect some money and send them some to spend first.

Xie Erniang also said that she remembered it.

The two said a few more words, then hugged each other and went to rest without mentioning it.

Soon on the eighth day of February, Shunniang arranged for Shitou to take his wife back to Yangliu Town. She personally sent Xie Erniang to the car, and put the medicinal materials and tonics for her father-in-law, some tea snacks and seasonal clothes for her mother-in-law. In the car, he then told Xie Erniang to go early and return early, and when the lady agreed, Shitou drove the car away from Zaoshu Street before going back.

After she went back, she changed her clothes and waited for Shitou to send the lady back to Yangliu Town. When she returned to Bianliang City and drove herself out again, she saw the scar removal medicine she bought for the lady on the mirror table.I can't help shaking my head, I feel that my wife is really careless, when I brought back the medicine for removing scars, she told her to use it after washing her face every morning and evening, without interruption.She went to Yangliu Town this time, and it took three days to come back, and she didn't bring any medicine with her. The effect of the medicine will be reduced now, and it may take another period of time before the scar is completely healed.

Sitting on the donkey cart driven by stones, Xie Erniang watched Shunniang prepare the medicinal materials and clothes for her parents, but her heart was complicated.

She thinks that Shunniang is very good, not only for herself, but also for her parents.

If she continued to hide it like that, she would really feel ashamed, so she decided to confess everything to Shunniang after returning to Yangliu Town to visit her parents.

When Shi Shi sent Xie Erniang to the door of Xie's house in Yangliu Town, before the hour of the morning, he stopped the car, jumped out of the car, put a car stool under the car, and helped Xie Erniang get off.

After Xie Erniang came down, she saw a new butcher shop in the place where the Liang family used to have a tofu shop. The shop assistants and owners were all unfamiliar faces, people she had never seen before.
