Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 111 I Underestimated Her

The backyard of the county yamen is not big, only the courtyard of the third entrance, walk along the veranda of the vertical flower gate, and enter the second gate, which is the main house of the main courtyard. A tree with a luxuriant crown, it can be seen that it is quite old.

One is ginkgo and the other is magnolia.

Now the magnolia flowering period has passed, the trees are full of leaves, and the ginkgo trees are also very tall. When a gust of wind blows, countless fan-like leaves rustle in the wind.

There are also two large white porcelain water tanks on both sides of the yard, in which there are water lilies, the lotus leaves are only the size of a palm now, and two red carps are swimming lively in them.

There is a birdcage hanging under the corridor, and a black starling in it is combing its feathers. When it sees someone coming, it tilts its head to look at it, flaps its wings twice, and then opens its mouth and calls: "Thrush, open the curtain, there is a guest." It's-"

There was a faint laughter in the main room.

The stern-faced nanny turned her head to look at Shen Jiayan, and saw that Shen Jiayan's eyes were lowered, only looking at the floor tiles in front of her feet, she didn't look around all the way, she was surprised to see everything.

At this moment, he didn't show any surprise because he saw the starling talking, he stood calmly, his eyebrows seemed to be pleasing to the eye, but in fact he was calm and self-possessed.

Even with a basket on her back and coarse cloth on her back, she is elegant and dignified, she really doesn't look like a country woman.

However, the mother thought for a second that this widow was at least a member of a military officer's family before. Although she was a reborn, she lived a wealthy life for a few days. Although she is down and out now, her demeanor is still there.

Doesn't look embarrassed.

Therefore, I secretly took a high look at Shen Jiayan from the bottom of my heart, and saw that the curtain in the main room moved, and a girl dressed in red and green came out, first spat on the starling on the porch, then turned around and saw the nanny and Shen Jiayan.

Mammy nodded at the girl: "This is the widow of the Mu family, come to see Madam! Go in and let me know."

The girl glanced at Shen Jiayan, but smiled: "So that the guests know that our wife is still in charge, and I asked the nanny to take the guests to the side hall for a cup of tea. After the lady in charge finishes talking, it will not be too late to see the guests again." .”

The nanny didn't say much, and brought Shen Jiayan to the side hall.

The side hall is not big, and the furnishings look ordinary, not gorgeous.

After asking Shen Jiayan to sit down, a little girl brought tea and snacks, and then quietly withdrew.

The nanny sat with her for a while, and a little girl came in and whispered something in her ear. Shen Jiayan had good ears, but she listened a lot. It was the lady over there who called this nanny over to ask her how she was doing. .

The nanny forced a little smile on her face, she only said that there was something else to do, and told Shen Jiayan to just drink tea, and someone would come to call her after a while.

Shen Jiayan nodded with a smile and didn't say much.

After everyone has gone out, she will be left alone, and she will be at ease.

I didn't eat much when I got up in the morning, and I was still a little hungry at the moment. I saw two plates of snacks on the table. Although they were ordinary, they were the same white sugar cake and the same mung bean cake, but the white sugar cake was still steaming, and it smelled delicious.

I just twisted a piece and ate it slowly with tea.

Although she hasn't experienced it personally, don't TV dramas and novels often have such plots?The most classic thing is Grandma Liu's entry into Jia's mansion. I'm afraid the county magistrate's wife must ask about his origin, and then ask the nanny about her own behavior, so that she can judge whether or not to see herself, and how to see herself.

Therefore, I was not in a hurry at all, and slowly ate two plates of snacks, and my stomach was half full.

There was movement outside, the little girl who brought tea just now came to invite her.

The county magistrate's wife did not see her in the main hall, but in the flower hall, the place where she usually meets the lady in charge.

When Shen Jiayan went in, she saw a woman who looked about 30 years old, wearing homely clothes, with only two golden hairpins on her hair, sitting on the head, next to the stern nanny and two maids.

I think this is the county magistrate's wife.

Shen Jiayan greeted the county magistrate's wife, and then sat down among the guests and hosts.

The county magistrate's wife looked kindly, seeing Shen Jiayan so young, she had a look of surprise and sympathy on her face, she probably didn't expect the widow of the Mu family to be so young.

But looking at her face, although she looks delicate and thin, and her complexion is not good, she knows that she is probably not healthy enough, and her complexion is too dark and yellow compared with the female family members of the official family nowadays, so she is not so conspicuous.

First he was relieved.

The smiling one first made a few homely remarks, expressing regret for Shen Jiayan who became a widow at such a young age, and then expressing appreciation for her filial piety for her deceased husband and for treating the three children left behind generously.

Shen Jiayan had been prepared for a long time, anyway, it was thanks, thanks to the county magistrate for saving the family's life, thanking the county magistrate for giving the plaque, thanking the county magistrate for his protection, and giving their family a way out.

Anyway, thank you!grateful to you!Warm the four seasons!
Then he explained the purpose of coming, with three points of gratitude, three points of embarrassment, and four points of caution, he took out the things in the back basket.

The stern nanny and the two maids hurried forward to take them, and placed them on the table one by one.

Here Shen Jiayan is a little embarrassed: "I went up the mountain with the villagers to pick them, dried them in the sun, and picked the sharpest ones with the best quality, so I dare to honor my lord and wife! The farmer has nothing else to take It's a small gesture, please don't dislike it, my lord and madam!"

The stern nanny took it, and saw that the cloth pockets were all bulging, and the mouth was not tied tightly, for fear that the dried mushrooms would be crushed.

The top pack is full of morel mushrooms, with round tops and short handles, all of which are in good condition, and this mammy has never seen such a appearance.

Especially the morels, which are good stuff!In the state capital, one tael of such high-quality morel mushrooms is almost a tael of silver.

As far as these are in front of me, I'm afraid it's enough to pay tribute to the palace!
Looking at the other pockets, there are russula, boletus, and a pack of gallinaceous mushrooms!

The nanny couldn't help being surprised, and couldn't help looking at the county magistrate's wife.

The county magistrate's wife said a few more words to Shen Jiayan calmly, then asked her to have lunch, and asked Shen Jiayan to be taken to the side hall for a table of guests.

Naturally, a little girl took Shen Jiayan out again.

The nanny here just gave the things that Shen Jiayan brought over to the county magistrate's wife: "Ma'am, these things look inconspicuous, but if you really think about it, in our state capital, if you want to buy these things, you have to spend a lot of money." More than a dozen taels of silver, I'm afraid they don't have such a good quality. If this is in the capital, this basket is even more valuable. I'm afraid only those nobles can buy such a quality—"

The county magistrate's wife looked at those pockets one by one, and couldn't help showing surprise: "This widow Shen is honest, I thought it was those country women who took advantage of our master's kindness and shamelessly picked her up." , want to hit the autumn wind! But I underestimated her!"
