"Ma'am, what do you want to buy?"
In the embroidery workshop, when a female worker saw Shen Ruolan coming in, she warmly greeted her.
Shen Ruolan smiled and said, "I'm not here to buy things, I'm a friend of Mrs. Duan, is Mrs. Duan here?"
When the female clerk heard that she was looking for Mrs. Duan, her expression changed in vain. She looked around quickly, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she whispered: "Not here, you can go!"
Seeing the female assistant's unusual expression, Shen Ruolan knew that something must have happened to Mrs. Duan. She was just about to ask what happened, what happened, but that female assistant had already avoided the plague, and she didn't want to. Take Shen Ruolan's accent again.
Seeing this, Shen Ruolan didn't bother her any more, she went out of the embroidery workshop and asked Brother Dachun to send her to Duan's house, she wanted to see what was wrong.
Although she hates to look down on Mrs. Duan's indecision, and hates that she is not strong enough, she is reluctant to leave that scumbag for this reason, but hate turns into hatred. If she sees that she is too wronged, she will still help her. Madam treated her well, and if she could help, she would do her best.
When they arrived at Duan's house, Shen Ruolan got out of the car and knocked on the door. After the door opened, an old man who was watching the door opened the door. He leaned out half of his body and looked at Shen Ruolan blankly and said, "Girl, who are you looking for?"
Shen Ruolan said: "I'm your wife's friend, I'm here to see her, please help me to report it!"
The old porter said: "There are several ladies in our house, are you looking for that lady?"
Shen Ruolan said: "It's the wife of your master!"
The old man said again: "Even we have two wives in charge. One is our young master's original wife, and the other is Mrs. Hua, Ping's wife who was brought up recently. I don't know which one are you looking for?"
When Shen Ruolan heard about the new Ping Wife, she immediately felt bad. What is a Ping Wife? It is a wife that a man is not only a regular wife, but also a regular wife. She has the same status as a regular wife, and is also known as the opposite house. The houses are equal, and they can sit on an equal footing with the main wife.
In ancient times, the hierarchy was strict, and the ranks of concubines and concubines were clearly distinguished. Usually, a man would not marry a flat wife, because the existence of a flat wife was a kind of denial and disapproval of his regular wife. It's too unfair, it's a kind of oppression and insult, but any woman with a bit of blood will not ask her man to marry a common wife.
However, once a man marries a flat wife under tremendous pressure, it proves that he loves the flat wife very much, otherwise he would not risk the world to marry this woman. Therefore, in general families with flat wives, this The mistress of the family is basically just a decoration, and this family will probably fall into the hands of the flat wife!
Shen Ruolan sighed in her heart, then took out a small piece of silver and stuffed it into the hand of the old porter, and said: "I want to see my original wife, Mrs. Duan, not that Mrs. Hua, so go in and let me know."
Hearing this, Cangtou looked at the piece of silver reluctantly, handed back the silver that weighed about one penny, and said in a low voice, "Madam is ill and cannot see guests. If you want to see Madam Hua, I can." Pass it on for you, if you want to see Madam, please come back... "
Hearing this, Shen Ruolan took out another piece of silver, put it in the old man's hand, and said: "Since I can't see Mrs. Duan, let me meet the young master and young lady at home, and if it's not worth meeting Duan Madam's confidants are fine too, anyway, please make it easier for me!"
Two pieces of silver with fine silk feet, add up to three or four taels. As the saying goes, black eyes, white silver. Seeing this white and heavy silver, the old janitor couldn't bear to refuse any more. He put it away. Yinzi said carefully: "Then girl, you wait here first, I will let my old lady go in and try it out, if it works, everything will be fine, if not, I will return the silver to you!"
"It's easy to say, easy to talk!" Shen Ruolan didn't care about this little money, as long as he could do things with all his heart, even if he couldn't do it, he could be rewarded with the money, but he couldn't say such things now, lest he take the money and not do things.
The old porter closed the door and went in.
Shen Ruolan stood outside the gate and waited patiently for a while. After about a quarter of an hour, the door opened, and a well-dressed woman came out, followed by two girls, and the old man followed behind them with his head down. He looked submissive, as if he had made a big mistake.
After the woman came out, she looked at Shen Ruolan arrogantly, and asked the old man, "Is that her?"
The old man nodded, not daring to raise his eyes to look at Shen Ruolan.
The woman sneered and said, "Girl, I don't know what you want to do with my wife? My wife is sick now, and the doctor told me to rest and rest. Don't worry about it. Now, Mrs. Hua will take care of everything in the house. If the girl If you have anything to do, you might as well go to Madam Hua to discuss it, you don’t have to dig a door to find Madam, otherwise if you disturb Madam’s recovery, I’m afraid the girl won’t be able to bear it!”
After finishing speaking, Shen Ruolan understood that Mrs. Duan must be under house arrest now, and she will not be free, otherwise 'Mrs. Hua' would not be in charge of the family affairs.
She closed her eyes, struggled in her mind, and finally decided to stay out of trouble.
She is just a little peasant girl, how capable is she to participate in the family affairs of the richest man's family? In the end, don't you have to let him come forward to settle it! And he is no longer King Zhan, nor the general of the Northern Army. If she meddles in other people's business, she will bring him trouble and cause disaster, so forget it...
She sighed, and was about to turn around and leave when an eight or nine-year-old girl ran over, her eyes lit up when she saw Shen Ruolan, and she said, "Sister, are you Miss Shen?"
When the woman saw the little girl, she hurriedly blessed her body, saluted reluctantly, and then said: "The eldest girl is no longer staying with the madam inside, why did she run out? Is the madam cured?" ? Or is it that the eldest girl just cares about her wife’s life because of her playfulness?”
The little girl bit her lip and said aggrievedly: "I didn't play around, and I didn't ignore my mother. It was my mother who heard that the Shen family sister was here, and sent me over to invite the Shen family sister to come in and have a seat."
"That can't be done. Madam is still ill. The doctor told Jing Yang that if this Miss Shen disturbs Madam's recovery, the servants will not be able to bear it!" Words are blocked.
The little girl pursed her lips and said: "My mother said that she was not feeling well, so I don't know it's because she was too lonely on weekdays, but now I finally found a friend who can talk to my mother a few words, who can talk to my mother." Mother talked and broke up for her, but mother Zhou, you didn't let her see my mother, did you not want to call my mother? Or did you take advantage of someone and specifically oppose my mother?"
When Zhou's mother heard this, she immediately put her face down, and said flatly: "Young lady, what you said can really hurt this servant, and this servant is a servant. Are you right? Even if the eldest girl wants to convict the servant, she can't use this crime to suppress the servant?"
The woman spoke with sincerity and fear, but she really had an old monk's calm and infallible expression on her face, she didn't pay attention to the little girl and her mother at first glance.
The little girl squinted her eyes, snorted coldly, and said, "You still know your identity? That's good. Since you know what you are doing, don't stop me. My mother just wants to see Sister Shen. Your last So let Miss Ben get out of the way."
"That can't be done!" Zhou's mother stopped there without moving, "Miss, don't be self-willed. A woman's illness is diagnosed by a doctor. The doctor told the woman to rest. The eldest lady brought a stranger to our back house. If something happens, the servant can't bear it..."
"Go away, dog slave, didn't you just get bribed to bully my mother?" The little girl finally jumped when she saw Mother Zhou's reckless appearance, pointed at her and said angrily, "I Let me tell you, don't think that you can bully us with a new master. No matter what time it is, the master is the master, and the slave is the slave. If you mess up your seniority, you will be punished sooner or later... "
"Oh, who is this? He has such a big temper!" She sighed tenderly and sang, and then a beautiful and gorgeous woman came out, wearing a rose red woven gold twig thong. , below is an apricot-colored horse-face skirt, with a high bun that symbolizes her status, her hair is full of pearls and emeralds, and the rings are jingling. Behind her are four gorgeously dressed maids. At first glance, she looks like a noble lady. like.
When Zhou's mother saw it, she hurriedly blessed her lower body, and said with a flattering face: "Mrs. Hua, why are you out? If there is something to do, I just send the little girl out and tell the slaves, why bother to come out by myself?"
Mrs. Hua lazily touched the tassels on the stroller, and said: "I heard that the young lady didn't follow the doctor's advice and wanted to bring irrelevant people into the mansion to disturb the lady's recovery, so I came here to see what's going on. Son."
It turned out that she was Mrs. Hua who was recently promoted as a flat wife. Shen Ruolan narrowed her eyes and began to look at her as a beauty.
Mrs. Hua's boudoir name is Mei'er, she lives up to her name, she is charming and vulgar, she is charming and dressed like a noble lady, but if you look closely, you will find the difference between her and the noble lady.
Noble lady, as the name suggests, is the wife of a wealthy family. They talk about dignified and decent manners, and you can see elegant manners and strict family upbringing in their actions. But this beautiful lady is beautiful. But it is full of enchanting and charming atmosphere, not like everyone's wife, but like a full-fledged actor.
However, although her demeanor is not dignified enough, it cannot be denied that this woman is extremely beautiful, with a charming charm in every frown and smile, especially those big watery and rippling eyes, which are only so softly touched. A glance is enough to explain what a glimpse is.
Few men could resist such a superb beauty. After seeing her, Shen Ruolan understood why such a shrewd and experienced man as Mr. Duan would do something like doting on his concubine and destroying his wife.
The little girl whom Mrs. Hua called the "big girl" was probably a little afraid of her. After seeing her, she suddenly lost the momentum she had just shown to Zhou's mother, and even flinched a little before saying, "It's my mother." The one who asked me to find Sister Shen, my mother has been ill these days, and has been silent and depressed, I thought, if someone who can talk to her can talk to her, maybe her illness will be cured. That's it!"
"Hehe, what the eldest girl means is that if a person is sick, he doesn't need to ask a doctor to take medicine, as long as he finds someone who is compatible with him, he can be cured, right?" Showing a somewhat mocking look.
The little girl lowered her head mockingly, and murmured: "Taking medicine is for taking medicine. I think if there is another person who can talk to my mother together, she will feel relieved." Wouldn't it be better to relieve it?"
"Big girl, do you mean that Madam can't go anywhere with us? Can't we help Madam relieve her mood? Or is it that Madam is jealous, and she is not happy when she sees us, and she wants her to take us from the outside? Someone come in and talk to her?" Mrs. Hua's tone became sharper, with a slightly aggressive look.
After all, the little girl was still a child, and she couldn't help lowering her head even lower when she was forced to question her like this, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.
Shen Ruolan really disliked the arrogant appearance of Mrs. Hua, especially when she saw her concubine bullying the children in the main room like this, she felt even more angry, so she stepped forward and said to the little girl: "Miss , since Ma'am is inconvenient today, I'll come back another day, or you can go back and tell your Madam, my family lives in Kaoshan Tun'er, Qisong Town, she is in good health, and she can come to me anytime."
At the beginning, Madam Hua saw that Shen Ruolan was dressed decently, but she didn't know who she was, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous. Now she heard Shen Ruolan said that she lived in the village and was just a village girl, so she immediately ignored her up.
It's just a village girl who dares to get so close to the person she wants to deal with, it's just playing against her, she's looking for death.
She rolled her eyes, and suddenly said with a smile: "Since the girl is from the country, it must not be easy to come to the county, right? Well, my wife doesn't think you look like a bad person, so I make an exception and allow you to visit my wife. Don't stay there for too long, so as not to disturb Madam's rest!"
Shen Ruolan saw that her face turned pale for a while, and she knew that she must have no good intentions, but even if she knew that she had no good intentions, she was not afraid, so she went into the backyard with that little girl.
Along the way, the little girl didn't say much, she just kept staring at her big eyes, looking around vigilantly, as if she was afraid of being followed or eavesdropped.
Seeing the child in the main room being bullied like this by a concubine who came into the house, Shen Ruolan felt very sad. She felt sorry for the child, but also hated the scumbag who allowed the concubine to bully his wife and children.
As a woman, what Shen Ruolan hated the most in her life was those scumbags who were desperate for beauty and even cruel to their wives and children. In her last life, she died to punish such a scumbag.
One of her distant cousins married her boyfriend who had been in love for four years in college, but she didn't expect that man to be a complete scumbag. When he was driving a ktv, he got hurt with a waiter in the ktv, and even made his belly big However, not only did this scumbag not know how to repent, he insisted on taking that mistress home to live with. His cousin's mother-in-law, that is, the scumbag's wife, knelt down to him, and it didn't help.
Later, my cousin was forced to accompany Xiaosan to the hospital for an obstetric examination. In the corridor of the hospital, for some reason, my cousin jumped from the eleventh floor. Because there was no surveillance at the place where the accident happened, the scumbag man said that my cousin jumped off the building in anger. However, Shen Ruolan knew that it was impossible for her cousin to jump off a building. There was a nine-year-old nephew and a two-year-old niece at home, so how could she be willing to leave her children behind to jump off a building
She thought it was the scumbag and Xiao San'er who pushed the cousin down together, because the scumbag was not a rich man at all, but in order to live a chic life like a rich man, he persuaded his uncle with sweet words, and put his uncle and uncle together. My aunt mortgaged their pension house to him, and took a loan of more than one million yuan to start a ktv. He also overdrawn my cousin's credit card by more than one million yuan, and he used the money to curry favor with his mistress. , It is said that Xiaosan's friends celebrate their birthdays, and the scumbags generously give 10,000 yuan in red envelopes, and his ktv can't earn that much at all. If I can't get my cousin's bank loan, I have no choice but to kill my cousin. Once it's over, it just happens to fulfill him and that bitch...
After Shen Ruolan deduced this conclusion, she was busy looking for evidence, trying to bring the scumbag and Xiao San'er to justice, but finally found the evidence, and when she took her colleagues to arrest the scumbag, the scumbag was desperate and followed her There was a dead end, which led to her wearing it here...
Therefore, she hates this kind of scumbag more than others. Even if she knows that she has no ability to help Mrs. Duan, she will definitely do her best to help her deal with those two scumbags!
"Sister Shen, you're here!"
In Mrs. Duan's yard, one could smell the smell of soup and medicine as soon as she entered the door. In the inner room filled with the smell of medicine, Mrs. Duan was half lying on the kang sickly. It was only two or three times since Shen Ruolan saw her last time. Within a month, she seemed to be five or six years old. Her face was yellow, her body was thinner, and her hair was dry and burnt. It was not as black and shiny as it used to be. It looked like she was seriously ill. look.
At this time, she was wearing homely clothes and recuperating on the big pillow. When she saw Shen Ruolan coming, she twitched the corners of her mouth and showed a genuine smile. It could be seen that she was very interested in Shen Ruolan's coming. It was a surprise to see her, but also a pleasure!
Shen Ruolan sat down beside her, and said with concern: "Mrs. Duan, how are you doing? Why are you so thin after only a few months?"
Speaking of this, Madam Duan burst into tears immediately, and while wiping her tears she said: "It's not that I was run over by someone, but don't talk about these unpleasant things, let's talk about you, sister, I haven't seen you for so long. What have you been doing all this time?"
Shen Ruolan went to the capital, and met the emperor and queen mother, but this cannot be said outside, if something is wrong, it will cause trouble.
"Where else can I go? Isn't this the autumn harvest at home? I've been busy with the autumn harvest!" Shen Ruolan said perfunctorily.
At this moment, two maids brought refreshments, and Mrs. Duan said to the two maids, "I haven't seen the girl from the Shen family for a long time, and I have something to say to her personally. Go outside and serve her!"
The two girls looked at each other, then lowered their heads and quietly left.
This scene made Shen Ruolan clearly understand that Mrs. Duan is now completely emptied, and even the person she personally waits on is no longer her own. In this way, she really only has an empty name left as Mrs. up.
Shen Ruolan couldn't help sympathizing with her, and wanted to comfort her, or give her advice on how to deal with that Mrs. Hua, but Mrs. Duan didn't say a word about it, and when chatting with her, she asked her about her family How much land, and then asked her family's harvest this year? How many people, how many houses, how many animals are raised, how much money can be saved a year, etc. are all useless nonsense!
Shen Ruolan doesn't think that Mrs. Duan still has the leisure to chat with her about these things. She thinks that the reason why she said these things is useless is probably because she is afraid that someone outside will eavesdrop on the corner and dare not say those Fan Jin's words.
After chatting for a while, Shen Ruolan pretended to stand up and admire the pictures of ladies with hairpin flowers hanging on the wall. When she walked to the window, she glanced out every now and then. As for the words in the room, it can be seen that Mrs. Duan's worries are not unreasonable.
The two chatted for a while, and while they were talking, Madam Duan suddenly took out a beautiful purse from her bosom. Stuffing it into Shen Ruolan's hand, he even winked at her.
Shen Ruolan went in without knowing it. At this moment, Mrs. Duan dipped her finger in the tea and wrote the word "letter" on Kang Yan'er, indicating that there was a letter in her purse, and she would explain everything to her.
In this way, Shen Ruolan felt relieved.
She pretended to stuff the purse into her bosom (actually it was put into the space), sat for a while, and then got up to leave.
Seeing that she was going to leave, the two maids outside sent her out, and the young lady of the Duan family who brought her here, who was the eldest daughter of Mrs. Duan, disappeared after sending her to Mrs. Duan's yard.
The two maids sent her to the gate of Mrs. Duan's yard, and they didn't send her back directly. Obviously they didn't take her seriously, otherwise they would have to send her to the gate
However, Shen Ruolan didn't say anything about the treatment she received. These two girls belonged to Mrs. Hua, and she came to see Mrs. Duan. It would be considered polite if they didn't drive her away.
The Duan family is very large, and Mrs. Duan lived in the back house at the innermost part. Shen Ruolan walked around the house for a long time before reaching the gate. Just as she was about to go out, there was a sudden commotion behind her. The sound of footsteps and shouts: "Stop, grab that village girl who steals!"
Shen Ruolan was stunned, what do you mean
Catch that country girl who stole
Is that the so-called 'country girl who steals things' referring to her? But when did she steal their things
In a daze, Mother Zhou had already trotted up to Shen Ruolan with several burly wives, and the two maids beside Mrs. Duan were also there. As soon as everyone stopped, Mother Zhou rushed to Shen Ruolan aggressively, holding up She slapped Shen Ruolan's face with her hand.
Without even thinking about it, Shen Ruolan raised her hand, clasped Zhou's mother's big hand accurately, and said angrily: "Crazy woman, what are you doing?"
Seeing that Shen Ruolan dared to resist her, Zhou's mother became even more angry, and spat in Shen Ruolan's face: "Bah, little bastard, what did you come to our house in such a good manner? What about your thoughts? You don’t go out to inquire, what kind of family is the Duan family? You dare to steal things from the Duan family, don’t you want to die?”
Shen Ruolan dodged to the side, escaped Zhou's mother's saliva attack, and said angrily: "Who stole? Which eye do you see me stealing? They say catching thieves and catching stolen goods, catching rape and catching doubles, you If you believe that I have stolen something from your house, it will not be too late to find out the stolen goods before spraying shit all over your mouth!"
Zhou's mother sneered and said, "Okay, okay, I think you won't cry when you see the coffin, and you won't look back until you bump into the south wall. Someone, search her body and find the stolen goods for me!"
When Shen Ruolan heard that she was going to be searched, she took a quick step back, pointed at Zhou's mother and said angrily, "What are you? Why are you searching me? If you want to search me, you should go to the government to file for the record. Let's handle the matter in the government. I understand now!"
"Hmph! If you go to the government, you will go to the government. Do you think we are afraid of you? I'm afraid that you won't be able to cry when you get to the government!" Zhou's mother was happy when Shen Ruolan asked to go to the government. The county magistrate in this county has a good relationship with the Duan family, so how could he treat her like a little village girl
At this time, Mrs. Hua came over gracefully, stared at Shen Ruolan and said with a smile: "What's the big deal? What kind of official are you reporting to? This girl is also Madam's guest after all, if she makes a mistake and takes our house Let her return the things that belonged to me, why bother to go to the government to toss? Even if the government is in charge, our wife's face is not good-looking!"
