After Mrs. Li returned to her house, she didn't feel anything was wrong. After saying a few polite words to Cheng Chun, she turned around and left.
Shaoyao followed Chengchun to sit in her yard for a while.
As the saying goes, even though Zhumen was freezing to death in the stinky streets of wine and meat, and when people were wailing all over the place outside, Chengchun and Shaoyao could still sit there drinking tea and chatting and laughing.
Hongdou has already arrived. She works very quickly and speaks thoughtfully. Shaoyao looks at her with envy: "Master Su is so kind to you. The girls assigned to you are all so smart and sensible!"
"Your girl is also good, she is well-behaved and smart, how nice she is!" Cheng Chun glanced at the maid standing not far away and said with a smile.
Shaoyao looked back at the maid, and finally gave a wry smile: "What a clever and clever person, I'm just showing it to you people. On weekdays, when I'm not here, it's all difficult for me to ask her to pour me a cup of hot tea.
It's difficult. After all, you still look down on me because I was born in Leji. Most of these people are powerful. Even if you are her master now, if you don't have any support behind you, even the lowest girl.
I don’t like you either!”
When Shaoyao said these words, there was a bit of sadness in her words. Chengchun looked at it and then said: "I don't have anything to rely on, nor was I born in a good place. With Hongdou, in the final analysis, it is sincerity for sincerity. She is a
Okay, she never disliked my birth, and she tried her best to take care of me. No matter how difficult it was for me, she never thought of leaving me. He may be more important to me than Su Xubai!"
Shaoyao laughed, and then said: "You, you are really innocent. People like you should not be other people's concubines. In such a big house, it is easy for people to eat you without leaving any bones."
.”
"You always think that I am naive, but what about you? We are all girls. Who has never dreamed of having a husband who treats us sincerely in the future? It's just because of luck, we don't have that kind of luck!" Cheng Chun held his hand.
Shaoyao's hand then lowered her eyes, "I was kidnapped by refugees in Hangzhou before, and it was Su Xubai who saved me!"
"I've heard that you almost died at the hands of those refugees?" Shaoyao nodded, "You must have been very scared at that time!"
Cheng Chun seemed to have remembered something terrible, closed his eyes, and then said somewhat helplessly: "Yeah... At that time, I thought they were simply crazy, but when I arrived in Huizhou, I suddenly
Understood!"
Shaoyao didn't speak, just listened.
"When you came, there were no more coffins on the street, and there were no corpses rolled up with straw mats and thrown casually on the roadside. When I came, there were really hungry people everywhere. Those children were really thin.
There is only a skeleton left, there is no food, no clean water, the plague is raging, and everyone has a terrible despair in their eyes!" Cheng Chun lowered his eyes, "Really, it's so miserable!"
Shaoyao was a little surprised: "Is it... so serious?"
Cheng Chun smiled bitterly: "Yes, when you came, Meng Xiao and Zhang Jun had already settled everyone. He ran around to borrow food, used his identity and family reputation as collateral, and exchanged enough money from surrounding towns.
We provided food to accommodate all the victims and controlled the spread of the plague!"
"This is my first time coming to Huizhou... I came to Huizhou later. I didn't come with you at first. When I came, Huizhou looked desolate, but I didn't see what you call people dying of hunger everywhere!" Shaoyao
He said with some surprise, "Is it really as miserable as you said?"
"We are all from poor backgrounds. Do you need me to explain to you what the situation was like during the disaster years?" Chengchun smiled helplessly, "But having said that, I was just sighing. If I hadn't met
If I go to them, I might have died at the hands of the refugees. How can I sit here so leisurely and have tea and chat with you!"
Shaoyao held the tea cup and didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, Hongdou came over with two bowls of sugar water and put one bowl in front of the two of them: "Madam, this is sent from the kitchen. It was said that Mrs. Li had someone prepare it!"
Before Chengchun could speak, Shaoyao sneered: "How can she have such a good intention? Don't be the one who poisoned us with arsenic!"
"How could that happen?" Chengchun patted the peony, then looked at Hongdou, "Help us go and thank Mrs. Li!"
Hongdou responded.
Shaoyao looked at the bowl of sugar water, but she didn't dare to drink it. Chengchun didn't care. He picked up the sugar water and drank sip after sip: "In broad daylight, she poisoned us to death with the things she sent people. How could she?"
What benefits can be gained?”
"You are really big-hearted. I can't believe her. Every time he sees us, he always acts like a big lady. Just looking at me makes me feel annoyed. If he is really my big lady,
That's fine, after all, she is upright and I am the young one, so I always have to listen to her, but he is not the eldest daughter of my family. Didn't he act like this in front of me just to disgust me?" Shaoyao crossed his arms.
Breasts, a look of dissatisfaction.
Chengchun glanced at Shaoyao and laughed: "Then you have already said that she is not your first wife. It doesn't matter what she does. No matter how she puts on airs in private, she will not return the favor in front of the man.
He has to be obedient and call us "madam"? No matter how arrogant and domineering he is in front of us, when he is in front of his own husband, he still has to be humble and humble. In our opinion, it is a joke! "
Shaoyao raised his eyes and looked at Chengchun: "Do you always think like this?"
Cheng Chun smiled, and then said with some embarrassment: "I don't like her either. She also lied to me at that time, saying that our father was infected with the epidemic, and tricked me out. Later, she didn't let me come back.
I have more reasons to hate her than you, but then I saw her bowing her head and talking to me, and I felt that she was quite pitiful. It was her own mansion, but she couldn't make the decision, and she had to be controlled by her husband.
If you scolded me in front of so many people, I would be very sad!"
"So you are relieved?" Shaoyao looked at Chengchun and suddenly felt that she was really interesting.
"Yeah, I'm happy! I'm not angry anymore!" Cheng Chun said with a smile, "I was happy at that time, and later I learned about her difficulties, and I no longer wanted to waste time arguing with her about these things!"
Shaoyao snorted softly: "You little girl, you are quite reasonable. I just don't like her arrogant look. She has one look in front of others and another in front of others. She is very hypocritical!"
