"...You really don't want to go back with him?" After sending Li Changhe and others away, Zhen Shiniang turned around and asked Magpie, "It's enough for me to have Qiu Ju to take care of me. You can go back and take care of him for two days."
Seeing Li Changhe's unconcerned expression, any wife who is beaten like this would be distressed.
"I'm not as comfortable as I am here at home. I like to eat the food cooked by the young lady." The magpie chuckled, grinning and causing the wound on his face to ache.
I really don’t know who their master is?
Zhen Shiniang rolled her eyes at her, took off the towel from her face, poured cold water on it and applied it again, "If you don't want to be so stupid again, whoever this slap hits will feel pain, just tell her that I am at home, and she still
Can you eat me?" Magpie said that Chu Xinyi beat her like this because she didn't tell where she was.
Zhen Shiniang was very angry, very angry.
"Miss, you have forgotten that you often beat slaves like this before. It doesn't hurt." Magpie laughed playfully, but suddenly his expression darkened, "Miss should not have offended her. The power of the general's house is in her hands, and the general treated her badly."
I love you so much, and you will leave ready evidence when you go back with such a hurt face..." He looked up at Zhen Shiniang, "Miss promised my slave, you will get along well with the general!"
Staring straight at Zhen Shiniang, she meant: "If you dare to break the contract, I will not support Brother Wen and Brother Wu!"
Zhen Shiniang lamented her miserable life.
"I didn't intend to break the contract." Zhen Shiniang's face was full of sadness, "I just saw Aunt Chu today, she is so beautiful. I have no chance again." She shrugged, "I'll just break the pot and break it."
."
"Miss is prettier than her!" Magpie sat up, "As long as you are willing to put down your posture, the general will be attracted to you sooner or later." After saying it in one breath, he realized that Zhen Shiniang was teasing her, "Miss!"
"Please check the fetal position carefully." Zhen Shiniang supported her, and when she saw her blushing and looking at her, she sighed, "I tell you, Aunt Chu is here to force me to marry the general.
I want to divorce her. My beating her and begging her both have the same result." His eyes narrowed, "It seems that she really can't wait any longer, and she doesn't even intend to let me live a good life even for a few years."
Magpie bit her lip and said, "But if you hit her like this, I'm afraid the general will have no room for negotiation."
"The general's heart is not with me. I have hindered his fame and wealth. Even if I don't beat Aunt Chu, even if I kneel down and kowtow to beg him, he will not have any room for negotiation." Zhen Shiniang shook her head.
"I just wanted to delay the reconciliation for two years. I had no intention of kowtow to beg him."
The general is always willing to accept soft words rather than hard words. Besides begging, is there any other way to get him to agree to delay the divorce for two years?
The magpie raised its head in surprise.
Zhen Shiniang has changed the topic. "...Have you signed for Uncle Yu's house?"
Uncle Yu is the servant of Mr. Zheng Ge. The seventh master of Mr. Zheng Ge's house is going to be sent to Anping as the prefect. He plans to let Uncle Yu's family follow him and leave after the new year. Uncle Yu plans to sell the house.
There are three thatched houses with a large courtyard outside, separated by a wall from Magpie's husband's house. Because the price is very cheap, Zhen Shiniang wants to buy it because she is in a hurry to sell it.
"I came here early in the morning with the intention of telling you about this matter. I forgot all about this trouble." Magpie sat upright, "Originally we agreed to give us one hundred taels of silver, and we were waiting for Uncle Yu's eldest son to come back from Shangjing.
Sign the contract, but Uncle Yu suddenly changed his mind last night, and the one hundred and twenty taels will not be sold for a penny."
"You didn't say why?" Zhen Shiniang frowned.
"Changhe inquired about it and said that Mr. Zhang from the Silver Building on Dongjie secretly raised a baby outside and wanted to buy a house for him. The price was one hundred and twenty taels. Because he thought he would book it with us first, Uncle Yu agreed to it for one hundred and twenty taels. Twenty taels will be sold to us first." He sighed, "Supposedly, the house is worth 160 taels, so it's not a loss to pay 120 taels, but..."
Magpie shook his head, where did they get the money?
"Just one hundred and twenty taels." Zhen Shiniang lowered her head and thought for a while, "Let Chang He sign the contract as soon as possible." To avoid having long nights and dreams and causing trouble again.
"Miss……"
"They all know the basics, and that house is indeed worth it." Zhen Shiniang said with a smile, "Master Xiao rewarded me with a hundred taels of medical fees, and I just sold autumn grain in Jiaqing. I saved more than one hundred and eighty taels of miscellaneous things. Where's the money?" In the past few months, Shen Zhongqing provided rice and grain, and apart from buying medicine, Zhen Shiniang had almost no major expenses.
"It's only the twelfth lunar month, and it will take four or five months after the first lunar month to have fresh vegetables to eat." Magpie firmly disagreed, "Not to mention that Miss has to take medicine, but just as the New Year is approaching, spring plowing will begin, and you have to buy fish fry and We have to buy fertilizer..." That was the real crisis. Magpie pointed at Zhen Shiniang and said, "Also, as soon as spring starts, Brother Wen and Brother Wu will go to school, and they will have to pay half a year's tuition... …”
"This hundred taels of silver is a given, and it has always been the same in previous years." Zhen Shiniang didn't take it seriously. "The ancestral home always belonged to the general. Who knows that one day he would be happy and take it back? Then With such a small courtyard, the three of us also have a place to stay."
The magpie muttered unwillingly: "My mother-in-law has promised to make a room for you."
Zhen Shiniang pretended not to hear, "I think the few feet of coarse kudzu cloth you pulled is very good. It is enough to make clothes for a few children. Tomorrow I will ask Qiu Ju to send the two pieces of brocade that Mr. Xiao rewarded to the cloth shop. Buy it, there will be a collection on the 19th of the twelfth lunar month, and the mountain goods given by Mr. Xiao will also be sold."
"Miss!" Looking at Zhen Shiniang's old cotton-padded jackets covered with patches, tears welled up in her eyes.
"By the way..." Not wanting to continue talking about this, Zhen Shiniang changed the subject, "You just said that I used to beat you a lot, is it true?" Originally it was just a casual question, but then she remembered that Chu Xinyi also said she was delicate and pretty. Her temper didn't change at all, and Zhen Shiniang's expression became solemn, "Tell me, what was I like before?"
Because she didn't want to mention Shen Zhongqing, she never asked him about it these years, and Magpie never talked about the past.
"Miss, you used to be very domineering." After a moment's hesitation, Magpie began to speak sweetly, "Second aunt was diagnosed with pregnancy. You asked your slave to deliver a bowl of bird's nest porridge, but you miscarried that night. The general came to confront you. , you even had a huge quarrel with him and refused to admit it even to death... The third aunt was more than two months pregnant, and she didn't even dare to call the doctor for fear of being discovered by you. The maid of the fourth aunt leaked the news, so you made excuses to punish her. Third Yi Niang established the rules for a day, but she had a miscarriage when she returned..." She sighed, "Miss, I don't know, but I was afraid and in pain of you at that time..."
"So that's it." Zhen Shiniang was in a daze, "No wonder the first time I met you, I only spoke in a loud voice, and you were so scared that you trembled." I still remember that when she first came here five years ago, Shen Zhongqing After scolding her and leaving, she asked Magpie, "...Who called him here?" In fact, she wanted to ask at that time, "Who is he?"
Unexpectedly, when the magpie heard this, he knelt down like sifting chaff and repeatedly begged for mercy.
"What did the lady say? What is the first time I met a slave?" Not understanding Zhen Shiniang's words, Magpie raised his head blankly.
"Oh..." Realizing that she had slipped her words, Zhen Shiniang hurriedly interrupted, "So, he didn't abandon me just because he loves the new and hates the old?"
Magpie nodded, "It's because the young lady was too domineering..."
Zhen Shiniang couldn't help but blush for the original owner of her body, and murmured unwillingly, "No matter what, he is such a playboy after bringing back so many aunts from the left room and the right room!"
"Big radish?" The magpie blinked.
"It's just that my heart is too fancy, I like the new and hate the old!" She was in a gloomy mood, and Zhen Shiniang didn't feel angry when she said it.
After that, Zhen Shiniang would often come up with some weird words, and Magpie had long been used to it. She smiled and said, "Actually, when the general brought back so many aunts, except for Aunt Chu, who was his old love, the others were also
I was forced by the lady."
"...How could it be?" Zhen Shiniang was stunned.
"The reason why I married my aunt was because the young lady and the old lady talked back to each other, and even beat the maid next to the old lady. The general asked you to apologize to the old lady, but you refused to die. You said you were right, why should you apologize, and said
How could you, a legitimate daughter of a dignified minister, apologize to a simple village woman? The general immediately turned black and told you word by word that he was the son of a simple country woman. You could just leave if you despised him.
He immediately signed the divorce letter..." Thinking of Shen Zhongqing's rage at that time, Magpie was still frightened. It took a long time before she breathed out from the memories, "The general slept in the study that night, and I, the next day
So I made a betrothal to the eldest aunt's family, and she brought her back half a month later; I married the second aunt because..." Like telling a story, Magpie counted the aunts one by one to Zhen Shiniang on his fingers.
Zhen Shiniang blinked.
Is she that bad?
He is the direct daughter of a dignified Shang Shufu. Even if he is a little younger, he was born in that kind of environment. Why can't he even know the most basic house fighting?
The means of murdering a love rival are so bad!
Even she, a modern and peaceful woman who was born under the red flag and grew up in New China, is not as good as she is. She doesn’t even need the most basic cover-up. She is bound to break her wings if she is unknown. She is so arrogant because she thinks her father is the powerful Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
, can you guarantee that she will be the master of the Shen family for the rest of her life?
Or is there another secret?
It's not that she has to defend the original owner of her body. No matter how she listens to it, Zhen Shiniang finds these things a bit unbelievable.
Just as she was lost in thought, Qiu Ju led Jian Wu and Jianwen in.
"Mom, Aunt Magpie, eat candied haws on a stick..." Jian Wu jumped to the kang in a few steps, holding the candied haws in his hand high and about to climb up the kang.
Jian Wen also rushed over.
"Careful when the sugar is on the kang." Zhen Shiniang stretched out her hand to take the candied haws.
Qiu Ju took a cloth to wipe Jian Wu and Jian Wen's hands, and squatted down to take off their shoes, "...Brother Wen and Brother Wu said they wouldn't stay in the backyard and were clamoring to see Aunt Magpie."
To talk about Shen Zhongqing, Zhen Shiniang took Qiu Ju to the backyard.
"It seems like someone is coming..." Pulling Jianwen onto the kang, Zhen Shiniang heard someone shouting outside, so she looked out through the window lattice.
"My slave, let's go take a look." She carried Jian Wu onto the kang and Qiu Ju turned around and ran out.
It's Li Qi's wife here.
As soon as he walked in, he was all smiles, "...congratulations, Ayou, what a great thing!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
