As soon as I walked under the big locust tree, I heard someone talking below the well mouth.
"The Wang family's vacant haunted house was bought by someone, and everyone has moved in this morning."
"Really? This family is so brave, they dare to live here!"
"What kind of family is this? It's just a girl with a few maids and a mother-in-law. She seems to have a good temperament, like a noble lady from the city."
"No way? A noble lady from the city? What are you doing in the countryside? Are you mentally ill?"
"You are indeed right. I heard that this young lady is indeed not in good health and came to the country to recuperate."
"Buying a haunted house to recuperate? That's appropriate. I guess I was deceived."
Among this group of women washing clothes, there happened to be Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou kept her head down while washing clothes and said nothing.
Shen Yuyu saw her: "Auntie, where are you washing your clothes?"
Hearing the sound, everyone looked up at Shen Yuyu, and Aunt Zhou responded with a smile, holding the clean clothes and going up the steps. But everyone at the wellhead suddenly changed the topic and started talking about Shen Yuyu.
"Do you know? Idiot Shen has changed his temper and is no longer stupid."
"Isn't that right? She can ride a horse and do autopsies. I heard that she was the one who found out that Shen Xi was pregnant."
"Not only that, but she led Mr. Zhang to investigate this case, and she helped Ji Laizi overturn the case."
"You want me to say that she was not stupid to begin with. How smart was she when she was a child? After Shen Hong left to join the army, she was hit on the head by Mrs. Wang every day, which knocked her unconscious. Now that no one is hitting her, she probably has recovered her brain."
"That must be the case. I won't dare to call her Shen Fool again in the future."
…
Aunt Zhou came up from the wellhead and saw Shen Yuyu carrying a basket of juicy apples. She was very surprised: "Where can I buy such fresh apples? They look like they were just picked from the tree." She swallowed as she spoke. .
"Auntie, try one and see if it tastes good." Shen Yuyu said, taking the clothes basin from Aunt Zhou and stuffing the basket into Aunt Zhou's hand, "If it tastes good, I'll take it home and give it to my uncle and a few others." Brother, try something new."
Aunt Zhou took a bite and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, this is the first time I've tasted such a delicious apple. It's so delicious with just the right amount of sourness and sweetness."
Before Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, a delicate voice answered from the side, "Can you sell such delicious apples?"
Shen Yuyu couldn't help but follow the voice and look over. The person who came was wearing a lavender skirt, with a tall figure, fair skin, and a pretty and charming appearance.
Next to her was a little maid with a double bun. Her dress and temperament made her look like she belonged to a wealthy family in the city.
She looked at Shen Yuyu and Aunt Zhou with a gentle smile, and then landed on the basket of apples, looking very greedy.
"The apples are not for sale." Shen Yuyu smiled, took two out of the basket and handed them to the lady, "But you can take two to eat."
Miss Ziyi immediately smiled and said: "Really? Thank you sister." After saying that, she took the apple personally, took it to her nose and sniffed it, and said it smells good, looking very touched.
Shen Yuyu suddenly felt that it would be nice to give her the apple.
"Miss, are you newly moved to Shenjia Village?" Aunt Zhou looked at the lady in purple and asked curiously.
"Yes, aunt, my name is Ding Xiaolian, and I would like to ask the neighbors to take care of me." The girl in purple gave her a gift, and she looked like a well-educated lady.
Aunt Zhou also thought that Miss Lu was very good, polite and well-educated, and she didn't dislike the humble rural people. She smiled and said, "Miss Lu is so polite. My aunt's family lives right in front. If you need help, just go and find her." I."
"Okay, thank you ma'am." Ding Xiaolian bent his knees and pursed his lips with a smile.
Shen Yue also smiled at her, took Aunt Zhou's hand and left.
After they left, Miss Ziyi threw the apple to Hong Luan, the maid aside, and looked at the backs of Aunt Zhou and Shen Yuyu with disdain.
"A country bumpkin who smells like shit, pff~~'
Hong Luan also burst out laughing, weighing two apples: "Then these apples.'
Ding Xiaolian glanced at it with disgust: "How can you eat this kind of thing? It will definitely cause stomach upset, so throw it away.'
"Okay, miss." Hong Luan threw the apple into the rice field, twitching the corners of his mouth and clapped his hands.
"Miss, we have moved to the village, what should we do next?" Hong Luan stared at his master with big, clever eyes.
Ding Xiaolian whispered: "Qian Wan, remember to tell people that I came to the village to recuperate. If you dare to tell anyone, I will take it from you.'
"Don't worry, miss, Hongluan understands."
"If you understand, go and find out immediately and see where he lives."
"I understand, miss, I'll ask you about it now. Miss, please go back first." Hong Luan said and was about to turn around and leave.
"Got it? What do you know? Tell me how you are going to find out?" Ding Xiaolian stopped her worriedly, "Do you know if you want to keep it secret? I can't let him see my purpose."
"Don't worry, Miss. I'm from the countryside too, so I'm not that stupid." Hong Luan's eyes turned cleverly, "It's best to inquire about the place where country women like to gather. I won't let anyone notice anything unusual about this slave. Don't worry, Miss." alright."
Ding Xiaolian nodded with satisfaction: "Smart, go quickly."
"Yes, Miss." Hongluan turned around and walked not far when he met a woman in the village and asked her hurriedly: "Madam, where is the wellhead in the village?"
The woman first looked at Hongluan curiously, then asked her nosyly if she had just moved here.
After getting Hong Luan's affirmative answer, he pointed to the big locust tree with a smile: "Over there, do you see it? It's under that big locust tree. The laundry and water are all over there."
"Okay, thank you, ma'am." Hong Luan said her thanks and walked towards the entrance of the well.
At the entrance of the well, people were doing laundry, washing vegetables, and carrying water. It was very lively.
At this time, someone saw Hong Luan coming over here with a handkerchief in his hand, and hurriedly said: "Look, look, there are new faces in the village." So everyone looked up at Hong Luan.
After all, she was a maid from a wealthy family. Hongluan went down to the wellhead generously, soaked her handkerchief in the water, and wiped her face.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, he greeted her: "My young lady has just moved to the city and moved here to recuperate. I ask all the aunts and sisters to take care of her in the future."
Seeing that Hong Luan was so polite, everyone responded with a haha, and then some people began to ask Hong Luan what he was talking about.
"Where did your young lady come from?"
Hongluan replied: "Lingzhou City."
"It's so far away? Why do you want to come to Shenjiacun to stay and recuperate?"
Hong Luan casually made up: "I heard that there is a good well in the village, the water is very delicious, and the air is very fresh, which is good for recovery, so I came here."
"This is true. This well in our village is indeed a magical water. Drinking it warm in winter and cool in summer may really cure diseases.'
Hong Luan smiled and snorted in her heart, country people are so funny and self-righteous.
