At four o'clock the next day, Shen Ruolan got up, took Shouya, Dong'er's grandma, and Dong'er to pick persimmons and cucumbers in the shed. They picked the ripe persimmons and grown cucumbers and put them on the ground first.
Not long after, Carpenter Xie came to deliver the goods in person with two carts of simple wooden boxes. Shen Ruolan put the picked persimmons into the boxes again, and directly hired the two carriages to pull her cucumbers. Persimmon (tomato) made a trip to Jizhou.
After more than an hour of picking, the ripe persimmons (tomatoes) and grown cucumbers were picked and loaded on a carriage. Shen Ruolan sat on the shaft of a carriage and told Shouya and Grandma Dong'er No, go north.
In about twenty days, she will come back. There are still many green persimmons on the persimmon seedlings that have not grown up, and the cucumbers are also there. There are still many small cucumber knots on each cucumber seedling, and they are even blooming. I can still pick a few batches in time, and when I come back next time, I can also harvest the peppers and cumin. When I take it to Jizhou, I will definitely sell it for a good price!
The carriage came out of the backing village with a 'da da da', all the way to the north, and when it walked seven or eight miles, I saw a low-key and luxurious carriage parked there. There were several horses around the carriage, and each horse was riding on a horse. A well-built man in black.
Shen Ruolan recognized that it was Lord Qi's person, so she told the uncle who was driving the carriage, jumped off the shaft and walked towards the carriage.
"Miss Shen, the master is waiting for you inside!" Seeing Shen Ruolan coming, Ying Zhan said in a low voice, lifted the curtain of the car, and invited her in.
The coachman put a stool under the car and asked Shen Ruolan to step on it.
When Shen Ruolan got into the car, seeing Chunyuzhen drinking tea leisurely, she smiled and said hello, "Master Qi, good morning!"
Chunyuxuan glanced at her, picked up a purple clay teapot from the small red clay stove beside him, poured her a cup of tea with his own hands, and said, "Biluochun, try it!"
"Thank you, Master Qi!"
Shen Ruolan took the teacup and drank a few sips. Sure enough, the tea was of the highest quality, sweet and elegant, with a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, making people feel endless aftertaste.
After drinking a cup, Chunyuxuan wanted to pour it for her again, Shen Ruolan hurriedly stopped him, and she would probably stay in this car for a whole morning or even longer today, she was afraid that she would pee if she drank too much, it was still spring, and the fields The crops are just a little high, and the grass on the mountain is not high. If there is any place to urinate, it is best to drink as little water as possible.
Seeing that she only drank one cup, Chunyuxuan said: "This Biluochun tastes like the ointment of black jade at first taste, the liquid of clouds and flowers, light in color and fragrant, and it tastes like fine wine after sipping, mellow and sweet. It’s like the taste of Dharma, and all the flavors of life are in it, why, you don’t like it?”
It's not that Shen Ruolan doesn't like it, it's just that she doesn't dare to drink more for fear of peeing, but she can't say this reason, so she can only say, "That said, but I heard that women drink tea, one cup is for taste, two cups are for drinking, and three cups are for drinking. A thirst-quenching fool, no matter how much he drinks an ox or an ass, I'd rather have a drink."
Chunyu Xun was startled slightly, and said, "I didn't expect you to know this!"
He was also afraid that her throat would dry up after telling stories, so he prepared a pot of tea in the car to quench her thirst, but he didn't expect that she knew a little bit about tea ceremony.
Shen Ruolan chuckled, a little ashamed.
How does she know the tea ceremony? That's all I know, I saw it in "A Dream of Red Mansions", but I didn't expect it to come in handy today!
After drinking tea, she took the initiative to tell him without his order...
At this time, Uncle Shen Shen Debao's house
Shen Ruomei stared, and said sharply: "Fart, nonsense, how could a big living person disappear? Could it be that your shopkeeper deliberately hid him because he was afraid that he would marry me? Say?"
Shouting in his mouth, he stepped forward and grabbed the guy who came to report the news, as if he wanted to fight him desperately.
The guy tugged his clothes back, and said flatly: "The girl is too flattering, the shopkeeper's housework is small, and I never know about it. It seems that the young shopkeeper is not with you. The little shopkeeper Don't bother me, I'll go back and report to the shopkeeper!"
The buddy is quite polite on face, but in fact he already looks down on Shen Ruomei very much in his heart, she is just a shady outsider, and he really takes himself seriously, what did you say, "The shopkeeper is afraid that the young shopkeeper will marry her, so hide the young shopkeeper" I got up. I don't know if she is a fart in the eyes of the shopkeeper and the young shopkeeper? She's just a fan for fun, does the young shopkeeper deserve to play hide and seek for her? What a big face!
"Don't go, don't go!"
Seeing the waiter's indifferent attitude, Shen Ruomei obviously didn't take her as the future proprietress seriously, and said sharply: "You bastard who sees people as inferior, how dare you perfunctory me, tell you quickly, your young shopkeeper Where did you go, or I will let him fire you when he comes back, and tell you to get out of here!"
The man sneered, and said, "Girl, if I knew where the young treasurer was, I wouldn't come to you to look for it. Also, if you want to ask the young shopkeeper to open me, you should try to enter the gate of Ding's house first." Bar!"
After finishing speaking, he flicked his hand bluntly, shook off Shen Ruomei, and walked away swaggeringly.
"Don't go, come back to me..."
Shen Ruomei wanted to chase after her, but Uncle Shen stopped her sharply: "Come back, don't be ashamed!"
Shen Ruomei turned her head and looked at her father's dark face, as if the storm was about to come, and she cried out aggrievedly, "Father, why are you yelling at me? Your son-in-law is gone, so why don't I ask? "
"My son-in-law? I want to recognize him as a son-in-law, but do they recognize you as a daughter-in-law?" Uncle Shen blushed and roared, "Tell me the truth, that guy just said that you should try to enter the gate of Lao Ding's house What does it mean? Is it possible that you have been married for so long, and you haven't entered the door of Lao Ding's house? Also, why didn't he call your aunt to call you a girl? Is it because Lao Ding's family doesn't recognize you?"
Aunt Shen also heard something strange, and said anxiously on the side: "Yes, Meier, this is not a trivial matter, you should tell mother the truth, what is going on?"
Shen Ruomei is a face-saving person, how can she tell them the truth? He bluffed and shouted: "He is talking nonsense, why do you believe him? Do you believe anything?"
"Hmph, how dare a servant lie about such a thing? If you don't tell me, okay, okay, if you don't tell me, I'll go to Lao Ding's house and ask!" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Debao put the cigarette pipe on his waist Once plugged in, get up and leave.
Aunt Shen was not confused this time, she walked up to the old man in two steps, "Come on, I'll go with you, let's go to their old Ding's house and talk about it."
Shen Ruomei stomped her feet anxiously when she saw the two of them like this, "Father, what are you doing? If you go to find someone like this, will his parents still see me?"
"We're not going to fight, but we're going to ask what's going on? What's wrong with his parents? If you're afraid they won't be happy, tell me the truth with your father quickly." Aunt Shen stopped, looked back at her.
For this reason, Shen Ruomei also saw that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she could only stammer and say that she had not entered the gate of Ding's house, and she had been doing the outside room all this time!
Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Shen burst into tears, "Oh, my mother, Lao Ding's family is such a shameless bastard, you are really cheating..."
Uncle Shen was also trembling with anger, and it took him a long time to make a sound, saying: "Stop howling, let's go and reason with their old Ding's family!"
Aunt Shen heard the old man's roar, and sat up from the kang, "Yes, go to them, we must not take advantage of this family's conscience!"
Seeing that her parents were going to Lao Ding's house to make trouble, Shen Ruomei hurriedly ran a few steps to block the door, and shouted: "Father, mother, you can't go, he has already told me, wait for me Let me in after giving birth, if you guys go to make a fuss, what if his parents are annoyed and refuse to let me in?"
Seeing that she was still confused, Uncle Shen was so angry that he spat at her, gritted his teeth and scolded: "You heartless bastard, get the hell out of here, old Shen's face can be regarded as embarrassing!" You are completely lost, you just wait for me, if their Lao Ding's family refuses to accept you in today, I will send you to the Guzi Temple later, so as not to embarrass our family by embarrassing you!"
Shen Ruomei has never been treated so roughly by her father. Even when she knew she was pregnant, her father never spit on her face like now. She couldn't accept it for a while, and cried loudly on her feet. stand up.
"I'm not alive anymore, can I go to die? You parents don't want to see me well. I live a good life. You have to despise me to death and bury me. Don't you just want to force me to death? I'll go Die, you will be satisfied after death..."
After speaking, he covered his face and ran outside.
When Aunt Shen saw that Shen Ruomei had run away, she reflexively wanted to chase her. Uncle Shen yelled like thunder: "Don't chase her, if she wants to die, let her die. If you chase her, don't come back. Die with her!"
Aunt Shen saw that the old man was getting impatient, so she didn't dare to chase him anymore, she turned and lay down on the kang, "I don't care, I'm just worrying about it, I'm not afraid that that wicked thing will be full of mourning for others to see ? If everyone knows about her being a concubine, who are you making fun of? Isn’t it our old Shen’s family? Oh, my poor Jin Cun, you haven’t married a wife yet , if this matter gets out, but whose daughter would still be willing to marry us—"
When Uncle Shen heard this, he was speechless.
In the countryside, family style is the most important thing for every household. Once a dishonest child appears in a family, the rest of the brothers and sisters will be affected. Shen Ruomei's reputation is already very bad. If people know that she is If he went to work as an outer room for others, the reputation of the family is completely ruined, and the marriage of the youngest son will also be difficult!
When Aunt Shen saw him like that, she knew that she had spoken to his heart, she quickly got up again, and ran after him.
This time the Lord God didn't stop me.
How could Shen Ruomei really be willing to die? Let alone death, she would not be happy even if she cried in front of the villagers. She also wanted to create the illusion that she was married into a wealthy family and had a happy marriage, so that everyone would be happy. I envy her.
So as soon as I went out, I ran to the most remote north.
There is only the second uncle's family in the north, and no one can watch what she does like a monkey, so there is no need to be afraid of embarrassment or anything.
Shen Ruomei ran to the back mountain and hid under the north wall of Shen Ruolan's house, secretly listening to the movement behind her, and when she heard her mother's footsteps, she took off her belt and hung it on the tree.
As soon as Aunt Shen chased after her, she immediately saw the scene where her daughter was about to hang herself from the southeast branch. She was so frightened that her soul flew away. She cried and howled and rushed over to hug Shen Ruomei tightly, and shouted, " You are a damn thing, if your parents say a few words to you, you will seek death and live, will you let your mother live?"
Shen Ruomei struggled and shouted, "You are the ones who don't let me live. I'm living a good life. Why do you always say those things to bury me? Is it because you are satisfied when I die? Let go and let me die... .”
"Don't, don't, Mei'er, can't mother stop talking about it later?"
When Aunt Shen saw that her daughter had put the belt on the tree, it seemed that she was really looking for death, she was so frightened that she immediately gave in, "From now on, you can do whatever you want, mother doesn't care about you, right?"
When Shen Ruomei heard this, she struggled less. She turned her head, looked at her mother with teary eyes, and said hesitantly, "Then, are you going to fight with my father at his house?"
"It's terrible, mother is not going, let's go home with mother!" Aunt Shen saw that her daughter did not want to die so strongly, so she hurriedly went back down the slope to persuade her.
Shen Ruomei smoked for a while, and Aunt Shen said half a car of good things before she persuaded her to go home.
