Song female man

"What? Fifteen months in one month! You are a prodigal, you are a prodigal!" After Mrs. Liu learned of the price of the house she rented in Bianliang City from Shun Niang, she was so shocked that the teacup in her hand almost blew up. Unable to hold back anymore, she shouted loudly towards Shun Niang with her pale face anxiously.

Qi Shi was also shocked when he heard it, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

This price is really scary. Compared with the Xie family's house that the Xie family is renting now, the price for one month is equivalent to [-] times the current rent price. Live in the house that Shun Niang has taken a fancy to in Bianliang City for a month.

In addition, if this money is taken back to Xijiazhuang, it will be enough for Xi's family to buy back the old house and land, and there is still more. It is no wonder that Liu was so shocked, even saying that Shunniang is too prodigal.

Only Xie Erniang listened and said: "Since the official wants to rent the house, she must have a reason."

After speaking, he looked at Shunniang, poured her a bowl of tea with a smile, and asked her to talk about the reason for renting such an expensive house.

Shunniang took Xie Erniang's tea, and after drinking a couple of sips, she explained to Liu and the others that after moving into the city, the first thing to do is to send the seedling students so that they don't have to spend more than two hours on the road. Do something else, such as expanding the seed business and selling more seeds.There is also the charcoal business that she started recently. If she is in the city, she can sell more coal with the extra time.

"Huh? Charcoal business?" Mrs. Liu looked at Shun Niang and asked suspiciously, "How long have you been doing this, how come Wei Niang doesn't know anything about it?"

Shunniang told her that because she was not sure that she could do it well at the beginning, she was afraid of losing money, and the old lady knew that she would worry about it, so she didn't tell her.

Mrs. Liu felt that Shunniang's words made sense, so she asked her how much money she could make a month now that she was done.

Shunniang rubbed her nose, and said: "You have to earn tens of dollars a month, anyway, it's enough to pay the rent, as long as you move into the city, the charcoal will definitely sell more, don't worry, I can't lose Home, you can only make a fortune. Besides, this is going to the city, you, wife, sister-in-law, and Kecheng and Huier, if you want to go shopping, it is convenient to buy fashionable jewelry and clothes. I will give it to you later Equipped with a donkey cart, you can go there whenever you want.”

At this time, Mrs. Qi spoke up, and said that as long as Shunniang made a decision, she would never go wrong, whether it was doing business or renting a house, so the whole family just had to listen to Shunniang.

Shunniang also said that as long as she moved into the city, she was confident that she would buy a second courtyard like the one she was renting in a year later.

This is not bragging, Shunniang has brought her an income of more than [-] guan since September, the same as the charcoal business.She believes that as long as she enters the city and works hard to expand the sales of seeds and charcoal, she will earn more than one hundred guan in a month, and after a year, she should have a surplus of one or two thousand guan.

With money, the first thing she wanted to do was to buy a yard in the city and set up a property, which would not only save the expensive rent, but also increase the value of the property, making her money again and again.And with a property in the city, she has a foundation. After she stabilizes, she can develop her career with peace of mind.

Mrs. Liu and the others asked Shunniang how much it would cost to buy a house in the city, and Shunniang said that it would cost thousands of guan. Believe what Shunniang said about buying a house in the city after one year.

Shunniang smiled and said: "If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Mom, you have to flip through the calendar to see if the fifteenth or the sixteenth day of this month is a good day, and we will move. Now that the date is set, you can move Clean up the house, only bring soft clothes and some small items, but don’t bring bulky furniture, and when you enter the city, there is no need for a landlord to buy it.”

When Mrs. Liu heard Shunniang say that the landlord was in charge of buying the big furniture, she felt that it was not bad, so she agreed to Shunniang, saying that she would leave things like looking through the almanac and packing the clothes at home, and she would start tomorrow with her two daughters-in-law. Get started.

Shunniang said hello, go arrange your own business.

The news that Xi's family was going to move quickly reached the ears of the Liang family and the Xie family next door.

Mrs. Liu told it to Mrs. Ke, and Mrs. Ke told it to Erniang Liang at dinner. Erniang Liang couldn't eat anymore after hearing this, and Sanlang Liang also slowed down his eating. Only Xinghua was very happy. My stomach said: "Xi's family has moved away, and the child in my stomach will probably grow up better. He understands that it is not easy for me to be a mother."

Xinghua took her pulse three days ago and found out that she was pregnant with a child. Since then, her chest has stood out in front of Liang Sanlang, not only in front of Liang Sanlang, but also in front of her other Liang family members. For example, when Ke Shi and Liang Erniang were in front of her, she also felt more confident.

Ever since he married into the Liang family, Liang Sanlang has always been indifferent to her, Liang Erniang is not much better, and her mother-in-law, Ke Shi, is not very enthusiastic.

Xinghua has a strange feeling that the Liang family treats the Xi family next door far better than her and her natal family.The mother-in-law Ke and the elder sister Liang Erniang are all the same, but her officials are always thinking about what Xie Erniang is, and she often quarrels with Liang Sanlang because of this.Now that Xi's family has moved away and moved into the city, her officials can no longer miss Erniang Xie if she wants to miss her. She also has less worries, less time to quarrel with Liang Sanlang because of Erniang Xie, and less anger. Don't be jealous, isn't it good for the child in the stomach?

After she finished speaking, Liang Sanlang slapped his chopsticks on the table, stood up and left the table without saying a word.

As for Liang Erniang, she looked at Xinghua and said, "Wouldn't it be better to say a word less? It's a strange thing, no wonder Sanlang doesn't like it."

After finishing speaking, she also put down the bowl and chopsticks, said she didn't want to eat, and then left the dining table, leaving Xinghua who was heartbroken, Ke Shi who shook her head and sighed, and Xiu'er who was holding the bowl in a daze.

Liang Erniang went back to the house, remembering that the Qi family would move into the city with Xi's family, and it would not be easy to see each other in the future, so she couldn't help but fidget, paced around the room, thinking about what to do next manage.

Since three months ago, after the Qi family came to tell her that the dispute between the Xi family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been resolved, and that the Xi family was going to move into the city, she impulsively kissed the Qi family, the Qi family has never come to the Liang family again. Yes, occasionally when the two meet on the street, Mrs. Qi lowers her head and avoids walking away.

Liang Erniang had no choice but to take Xiu'er to Xi's house, and on the grounds that her daughter wanted to find Kecheng to play with Xiu'er, she went to Xi's house to meet Qi.

Seeing her coming, Mrs. Qi either hid in the kitchen, ran to look for Xie Erniang, or waited on her mother-in-law, but refused to talk to her alone, which made Liang Erniang very depressed.

She really wanted to ask what Qi Shi meant, whether she didn't like herself at all, or hated what she did to her.

But she really didn't think that Mrs. Qi didn't like her at all, because it was nearly a year since the two of them got to know each other and got along with each other. Although shy, she is still intoxicated, which shows that the Qi family does not reject the intimate relationship between the two women.This is quite rare among women in this era, so Liang Erniang believes that the Qi family definitely has the potential to bend.

But Liang Erniang felt that she hadn't heard Qi's own words, so she wasn't sure if what she was thinking was right or not.

After dragging on for so long, seeing that Xi's family is about to move out in about ten days, Erniang Liang felt that she should quickly find Mrs. Qi and ask what she meant. She wanted to hear Mrs. Qi's affirmation. If Mrs. Qi was willing to say Speak her heart, then leave the rest to her.She is willing to work hard for the Qi family and create conditions for the two to be together.

So the next day, when she was selling tofu in front of her own tofu stand, she watched Mrs. Liu come to visit her home, and after Erniang Xie also went to Xie's house, she handed over the stall to Xinghua, and she led Xiu I went to Xi's house next door to look for Qi's family.

At that time, Mrs. Qi was sitting on the soles of the shoes in the main room, and the two children were playing in front of her. Seeing Erniang Xie coming in, she hurriedly put down her work and went to the backyard. Erniang Liang had to let her daughter Xiuer play with Kecheng and Huier. She chased to the backyard.

Trotting all the way, Mrs. Qi ran into the kitchen in the backyard, and then closed the old wooden door.

Liang Erniang chased after her, reached out and knocked on the door, asking Mrs. Qi to open the door, and she had something to say to her.

Qi put his back against the door, and said in a low voice: "If you have anything, just tell the servant through the door, and leave quickly, if someone sees..."

"I just want to ask you something, do you like me?" Liang Erniang asked eagerly, "Just answer me this."

"..." Mrs. Qi was silent for a while, finally bit her lip, and said "um" lightly from her mouth.

After uttering such a word, she hesitated for a long time before she made up her mind to tell Erniang Liang. Since Erniang Liang kissed her last time, she had thought about it for a long time before she figured it out. It turned out that she liked Erniang Liang. As soon as she saw Liang Erniang, she was overwhelmed by her demeanor.At that time, she didn't understand that it was a blindfold, but she felt that she didn't resist Liang Erniang's approach, and even liked to talk to her and socialize with her.During the past year or so in Yangliu Town, she found that Liang Erniang was the one who spent most of her time with her, because Shunniang had to go out every day to support Xi's family, and only her mother-in-law and her were left at home.As for the mother-in-law, she often goes out to find Mrs. Ke, and chats with some women on this street. She only has a woman like Liang Erniang who can come and go. She can talk to her, talk about some private matters, and listen to her for advice. .

In the past, she would meet Liang Erniang almost every day, and the two spent an hour or two talking and laughing. After Shunniang and Xie Erniang got married, and after they got married, those days were the most depressing and uncomfortable for her. At that time, it was precisely because of Liang Erniang's company that she felt that her life was not so difficult.

She will never forget those days when Erniang Liang was with her.

If you can't deceive your own heart, you can't deceive Liang Erniang. No matter out of gratitude or in your own heart, Qi still admits her feelings for Liang Erniang.

When Liang Erniang heard this, she was of course very happy, because she believed that only mutual love is the basis for two people to strive for happiness, and the Qi family really liked her as she had guessed.With such a foundation, she can work hard to make the distance between the two of them closer, and even closer.

"Then do you hate my kissing you that day?" Liang Erniang asked immediately, this is what she values ​​very much, after all, liking someone does not mean that she likes to have physical contact with the other party, nor does it mean that she can accept the other party's intimate behaviors.That is to say, being able to accept that the other party has contact with one's body is a further emotion than liking.

Mrs. Qi didn't expect Erniang Liang to ask about what happened that day that made her feel ashamed and frightening in front of her. She was at a loss for words for a while, and she was too embarrassed to face up to this matter, and she was too embarrassed to answer it. .

Therefore, Liang Erniang waited for a long time, and after pressing again and again, she weakly squeezed out the word "no" from her mouth again.

Hearing this word made Liang Erniang even more happy, and she hurriedly asked Qi again: "You mean you like it?"

As soon as these words fell into Qi's ears, her heart jumped up, as if someone had peeped into a secret deeply hidden in her heart, and this secret made her dare not face it squarely and felt ashamed.

So, no matter how Liang Erniang urged her to ask, she didn't speak up.

The strange thing is that after Mrs. Qi kept silent and refused to answer Liang Erniang's question, Erniang Liang smiled. She already thought that the answer was obvious, that is, Mrs. Qi liked it.

"Then why are you avoiding me these days?" Liang Erniang asked again.

She didn't say the latter thing, that is, since Qi Shi likes herself, and even likes to kiss her, why did she choose to escape.

This can be regarded as the main point of the question. When Qi heard it, his heart was beating fast like a balloon that was off the line, and a bullet flew from nowhere.

"boom!"

After the explosion, the broken fragments of the balloon exploded and fell in dismay.

The same is true for Mrs. Qi, she lowered her head dejectedly, her heart began to twitch, and her nose became sour.

Sniffing, she said: "The Nu family will not leave the Xi family, and will not remarry. The Nu family wants to see Kecheng and Hui'er grow up safely in the Xi family. Besides, that is... the Nu family thinks that we two A woman cannot be together like a husband and wife..."

"So it's like this..." After Liang Erniang heard this, her mood suddenly became heavy.

Liang Erniang had heard the reason Qi said before, and she had only heard the latter reason, which completely explained why after she kissed Qi, Qi avoided her and never went there again. The Liang family saw her.

Indeed, in this era, two women, no matter whether they are unmarried and childless, or married and widowed, cannot live together in a fair and honest manner.

Not to mention in the Song Dynasty, even after more than 1000 years, two women want to sleep together and live together under one roof, and the various visions and difficulties they encounter are enough to drink a pot.If the two can't be together, the Qi family will of course want to cut off this relationship.

"I will wait for you until Kecheng and Huier grow up and start a family. In the meantime, can you let me come to the city to visit you, or are you still willing to be my neighbor?" Liang Erniang said earnestly.

When she said this, although her tone was flat, when she heard Qi's ears, it was like a thunder ringing in her ears.

Is this a promise?

In such a promise, Qi could hear Liang Erniang's affection and firmness, what kind of affection must be there to say such words.It will take at least [-] or [-] years for Kecheng and Huier to grow up and start a family. The Qi family can't believe that she can wait for him for so long.In fact, according to Liang Erniang's conditions, she felt that she could marry a good man, unlike herself, who could only live with Xi's family.

Liang Erniang's words were like a ray of light, suddenly illuminating the path of the Qi family who had been groping forward in darkness and loneliness.

She found that she was a little shaken, no longer clinging to the idea that she and Liang Erniang would never have a future. The most important reason why she stayed in Xi's house was to see her two children grow up safely. big.So, if one day, Kecheng and Huier grow up, have a family and a job, she can rest assured and let go, and then she can boldly take that step, leave Xi's house, and be with Liang Erniang.

At that time, she and Liang Erniang could be together as sisters, work together, and live together.

At that time, she was old, and Liang Erniang was also old. I believe that no one would notice what the two old women were doing together anymore. They should treat each other as companions when they were old and lonely.

If this can be done, she is willing to fulfill Liang Erniang's deep affection, and she is also willing to fulfill the only boldness in her life.

"Okay." Through the door, Qi's mood was ups and downs, and there was a cry in her voice. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears that rolled out of her eyes at some point, "...It's just because of you, I'm a useless person ,I am so sorry……"

Liang Erniang's voice was deep: "No, I'm not bitter. Ever since I met you, fell in love with you, saw you every day, could talk to you, and saw you smile, I feel that life is not bitter at all. You too I'm not sorry, I understand your difficulties. In this world, it's not easy to be a woman."

After a pause, she said again: "Don't cry, let's suffer together, and good times will come. From now on, don't you avoid me again? We're still the same as before."

"Okay... woo woo..." How could Qi Shi not hold back her tears, she agreed and cried aloud. She felt that she had met someone who was truly devoted to her, and someone she could count on for the rest of her life. There is a man who has a harbor to dock in a trekking boat.

Liang Erniang pushed the door open and said, "Stop crying, let me come in and see you, okay?"

Mrs. Qi straightened up and took two steps forward, Erniang Liang pushed open the door and squeezed in.

She saw Qi Shi turned his back to her, shrugged his thin shoulders, lowered his head, and was sobbing and wiping away tears.

Immediately there was boundless love and affection in her heart, Liang Erniang stepped forward, hugged her from behind, and softly advised her not to cry, didn't she say that there will be good days waiting for them in the future, why are you still crying.

Qi Shi couldn't stand her tenderness, and cried even harder.

Liang Erniang had no choice but to move her body, took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said while wiping: "If your eyelids are swollen from crying, it will be bad if your mother-in-law sees it..."

These words are more effective than what she said to comfort Qi Shi before, Qi Shi really shivered when he heard it, and stopped crying.

Liang Erniang laughed and said, "Go get some water and wash it off, and I'll rub some rouge on for you, so it won't be visible anymore."

Mrs. Qi raised her eyes and looked at Liang Erniang embarrassedly, agreed, and went to find the wooden basin, washed her face with water, and then walked out of the kitchen behind the smiling Liang Erniang.

The two of them walked into the main room, into Qi's room separated by a screen, she went to take out the powder and rouge from her box, and sat down in front of the mirror.Liang Erniang helped her loosen her hair just as she did her makeup before, then combed her hair with a boxwood comb, put it in a bun, and inserted a silver hairpin.Then help her apply powder, apply rouge, and thrush her eyebrows.

After a while, Qi Shi looked at herself in the mirror, and she couldn't see that she had cried at all, and she also found that her eyes were clearer than ever before.When Liang Erniang behind her bent down and looked at her in the mirror with a smile on her lips, their eyes met, and the flowery faces in the Linghua mirror reflected each other...

Liang Erniang praised Qi's beauty, and this outfit was even more outstanding, Qi said: "My sister-in-law is more beautiful, after getting married, whenever they go out to buy vegetables, the young people on this street will not blink when they see her. "

Liang Erniang answered: "She is beautiful and you are also beautiful. You two beauties are at Xi's house. Xi Erlang is really lucky. Feast your eyes all day long."

There was a bit of a sour taste in the words, Qi couldn't help covering her lips and laughing, saying why Liang Erniang is like this, this kind of talk can't be nonsense, lest some people with ulterior motives listen to it and talk nonsense.

Her words reminded Liang Erniang of Lu Quan who had once pursued the Qi family, and also remembered what Qi family had said to her about Lu Quan's threats to the Qi family, and she felt slightly uncomfortable.

But this discomfort didn't last long. When she saw Qi's smiling face like a flower, her heart immediately began to relax, and she continued to joke with Qi.

Next door to Xie's house, Xie Erniang was joking with her mother, and her tone was quite relaxed. She told her mother about the move.

Knowing that her daughter will move into the city in ten days or so, Wu knows that although she is a bit reluctant, she is still more happy that her daughter and her son-in-law will have a better life and go to the city to rent a house that will cost [-] yuan a month. courtyard.She and her husband have worked hard to buy and sell such a house for half their lives, but they have never lived in it.

Xie Erniang also said to her: "The official said that after moving to the city, the kind of coal and charcoal business can be done bigger. She said that after a year at most, you can buy a car in the city. Now we rent it. She said that a yard like the one she lived in would be worth thousands of dollars!"

Seeing her daughter talking proudly about buying a yard worth thousands of guan, Wu frowned even more, and said repeatedly that she and her husband had chosen the right son-in-law, and she was right about Xi Erlang. Erlang not only loves his daughter dearly, but also makes this business better and better.

But after laughing, she said: "The fly in the ointment is that you have not conceived a baby for Kijiro, otherwise it would be even better. Have you heard that Xinghua in the wall is pregnant. Let me tell you , you have to get pregnant soon, so that your mother-in-law and officials can treat you as a family. Think about it, if you don't give your official life a young man, it will be difficult for you to have such a big family in the future. Can it be done?"
