After coming out of Huixin's place, Shi Chunquin and others went to eat fast with the old lady. Because this blessing was related to the future of the children in the mansion, they had to stay in the nunnery for one night before returning to Chu's house the next day.
Probably because his son was also being prayed for, Xue Jinxiu obviously calmed down a lot this time. He stayed with the old lady throughout the whole process and did not dare to be angry with anyone.
The Lord of Huating County was born into the royal family. He has always believed in gods and Buddhas, and he is also very pious.
Cao Yingchun, who was left in the third room, mingled with a group of aunts. Although they whispered from time to time, they did not dare to make any mistakes.
Only the eldest daughter-in-law of the second room, Qian Ling'er, was sitting alone. She seemed to be isolated by everyone and looked very unhappy.
Shi Chunfen hesitated for a moment, took the initiative to sit next to her, and said, "The results are about to be released, will you be worried about Third Master?"
Qian Ling'er raised her head, not expecting that Shi Chunfen would take the initiative to approach her. She subconsciously glanced at Xue Jinxiu. Seeing that the other party was busy talking to the old lady and had no time to take care of her, she said lightly: "The competition is over. Look.
Third Master looks confident, so there should be nothing to worry about."
"That's true." Shi Chunquin nodded slightly.
Martial arts candidates are different from civil examination candidates. Generally, the results can be known by competing on the spot. In order to avoid each other, Chu Xiu and Chu Quan went to different provincial examination examination rooms. Seeing how confident they were when they came back, it seemed that there would be nothing wrong with them.
question.
The only thing they need to worry about is that they will not be able to avoid it in the spring. Not only the two of them, but also Chu Ling will go to Beijing to take the exam. Only one martial arts champion will be selected among the three. I hope it will not affect their success.
Brotherhood is.
Seeing that she calmed down, Qian Ling'er hesitated for a moment and then took the initiative: "You have been married to the uncle for so long, why is there still no movement in your stomach?"
If someone else asked this question, Shi Chunfen would definitely feel offended, but the other person was Qian Ling'er, a poor woman who had been married to Chu Quan for three years and still hadn't conceived a child, so Shi Chunfen not only didn't feel offended, but also watched it leisurely.
Xiang her, "You haven't been here for a long time, and you still have the mind to care about me?"
Qian Ling'er smiled bitterly and lowered her head, "This time I came to Hongque Temple to pray. I wonder if I can ask the Bodhisattva to give me a son and a half daughter."
Shi Chunfen understood her mood and knew that she just wanted to find someone to talk to, so she took the initiative to ask: "What about the third master? Has he seen the doctor?"
At the mention of this matter, Qian Ling'er raised her head in horror and quickly covered her mouth, "You are crazy, how can you let a man see this kind of thing?"
"Why not?" Shi Chunfen looked confused.
Over the years, Chu Quan has brought one aunt after another to the mansion, but he has never heard of any aunt having any movement in her stomach. This proves that this matter may not be Qian Ling'er's fault alone, so why not let Chu Quan see the doctor?
Qian Ling'er looked at her, so scared that she couldn't speak clearly, "Are you crazy? The third master is the only legitimate son of the second wife, how can anything happen to him?"
Nothing can happen, not nothing will happen.
Shi Chunfen instantly understood what Qian Ling'er meant and looked at her with sympathy, "What if it's true? Are you going to let them put the blame on you for the rest of your life?"
"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Qian Linger smiled bitterly and said: "There is no movement in my stomach. My only role now is their fig leaf. If even this role is gone, can the Chu family still tolerate me?"
Shi Chunfen was speechless and looked at her with some sympathy. She finally understood why Qian Ling'er was obedient to Xue Jinxiu. It turned out that he was just a desperate person.
She was silent for a while and then said proactively: "Have you never thought about making peace with the third master?"
With Qian Ling'er's appearance and family background, if she divorces and starts over anonymously in a place where no one knows her, she should be able to find a good marriage. At least the other party will allow her to realize her wish to be a mother, and she won't have to spend the whole day
He was on tenterhooks, afraid that Chu Quan would cause trouble again.
Probably amused by her matter-of-fact tone, Qian Ling'er looked at her as if she were a fool, "Do you think the third master and my mother-in-law would agree?"
Once they reconcile, Chu Quan will definitely have to marry another woman. No matter whether that woman will keep this secret for him or not, there is no movement in the stomachs of two wives in a row, which will inevitably arouse suspicion from the outside world, so Qian Ling'er will not be released.
Leaving is the most worry-free way.
Shi Chunquin reacted and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I thought of things too simply."
Seeing that she was still sincere, Qian Ling'er snorted coldly and whispered: "Don't blame me for not reminding you that if you want to tie up the man around you, you must either get pregnant early or pretend to be stupid and let him
Go and mess around, otherwise you will be hated by gods and ghosts, and everyone will blame you."
This statement was obviously based on her experience. Although Shi Chunfen didn't agree with it, she still nodded honestly, "I understand."
The two of them chatted for a long time, and someone looked over from time to time, obviously curious about what they were talking about.
Qian Ling'er noticed those glances, her face turned cold, and she sneered: "I didn't expect that we two unpopular people don't even have the right to sit together and talk."
Shi Chunquin was stunned for a moment, and realized what she was referring to, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "That's good, at least no one will bother us."
Seeing that she was still making fun of herself at this time, Qian Ling'er raised her eyebrows and said amusedly: "You are much more interesting than I thought."
Shi Chunfen lowered his head and smiled, and said the same: "You are much more honest than I thought."
She thought Qian Ling'er wouldn't say so many words to her after she sat here, but not only did she say it, she also seemed extremely sincere, which was an unexpected surprise to her.
Hearing this, Qian Ling'er pulled her lips with a wry smile.
Maybe she was too lonely, so she couldn't wait to pour out her feelings whenever someone came near her.
While the two were talking, the vegetarian food was served quickly. The old lady was old and didn't have a very good appetite. She ate some briefly and asked Xue Jinxiu to accompany her back to her room to rest.
The mayor of Huating County couldn't get used to the food here, so he quickly got up and went back to his room.
Suddenly, only Shi Chunfen, Qian Ling'er, Cao Yingchun and a group of aunts were left in the dining hall.
Among the aunts, Aunt Liu was the leader. She glanced at Shi Chunfen and Qian Ling'er and said with a smile: "When did your relationship become so good? It's a bit strange..."
Qian Ling'er glanced at her and said calmly: "We have a good relationship when we sit together? Then I have the best relationship with the master in the temple when I am meditating and chanting sutras."
"Pfft!" Shi Chunfen managed to make her laugh. She never expected that Qian Ling'er would have such a sharp-tongued side when Xue Jinxiu was not around.
