Juan Wang's Little Lady: Nongmen hunters work hard to plow the fields

Chapter 13

Waking up early in the morning, Su Lian tidied up and put on her makeup in front of the mirror.

The Zhang family didn't even have a mirror, if it wasn't for this stay in the hotel, she wouldn't have had the chance to take a closer look at her own face.

Look carefully, this Su Lian's appearance is somewhat similar to her previous life.

The day before, she had memorized the account books of the Su Mansion by heart, and had already memorized the price information by heart.Before leaving the house, Su Lian handed Zhang Jianshan a piece of silver and said, "Brother Jianshan, I'm going to see a friend in Cheng's mansion, first you take Aji to the street to buy some rice noodles. There is no food at home." I'm afraid he didn't know that the market price was cheated by the merchants, and he said in detail which family's rice and noodles were good, and what the prices were.

"After three days, Lian'er looks a bit like the lady in charge." Zhang Jianshan said with a smile.

Su Lian felt apologetic, and said in a low voice: "I spent a lot of money on staying in the hotel yesterday, plus eating and drinking too much. Brother Jian Shan is right, since we have a family, we should not ask our mother for money anymore, Lian'er I will try my best to make up for it in the future.”

The two agreed to meet at Xinji Rice Shop on Qinghe County Street at noon, and Su Lian hurried out.Yesterday, I asked my mother to send the invitation to Cheng Mansion early this morning, and I don't know if Mrs. Lin received it.

She is used to struggling in the mall, and knows that everything should not be head-to-head.In addition to one's own ability, connections are also extremely important.Nowadays, starting from nothing, as a penniless person, one has to rely on contacts. This is not about clinging, but about resource utilization.

Su Lian asked several people along the way, and finally found the door of Cheng's residence.There was a little maid waiting at the door, and one could tell at a glance that she was waiting for her.

"Miss Lian'er!" The little maid looked very affectionate when she saw Su Lian.

Su Lian didn't know her.

Seeing that Su Lian looked unfamiliar, the little girl rushed up to salute and said, "Miss Lian'er, don't you remember the servant girl? The servant girl is Caiyun who is next to Missy, and she came to Cheng's house with Missy as a dowry."

It turned out to be Lin Shu's dowry maid.Su Lian stepped forward to hold her hand, and said with a slight blessing: "Sister Caiyun, hello. Is it Shu'er who asked you to welcome me here?"

"Exactly. The young mistress knows that Miss Lian'er is coming to see her in the house, so she can't sit still for a moment in the morning, so I'll be here to greet her early! Miss Lian'er come with me."

Caiyun smiled and welcomed Su Lian in.This County Wei's Mansion is very grand, Su Lian followed her all the way through the flowers and across the bridge, the garden was overwhelmed with exotic flowers and plants, rare trees and stones.When I came to an inner courtyard, I saw a young woman standing under the hanging flower door, looking around with a handkerchief on her neck. When she saw her, she waved the handkerchief from a distance.

This is her boudoir friend Lin Shu.

Lin's eldest grandmother in Cheng's mansion has a round face that is amiable, with thin willow eyebrows, red lips and white teeth.Although the facial features are not very attractive, they are better than the crystal clear skin, and those white jade-like arms seem to be able to pinch water.

"Lian'er! My Lian'er!" Lin Shu held her hand tightly, looked at Su Lian with tears in her eyes and said, "Why are you so stupid! My heart is broken to hear you fall into the water! Fortunately, you are safe and sound !"

With such an expression, it seemed that he really felt sorry for her.Su Lian smiled and said, "Aren't I doing well? As soon as I have the strength to jump, I will come to see you, so that you can rest assured."

"Don't worry! Don't worry! How can I not worry about you! Your aunt, and that shameless brother-in-law..."

"Young Mistress." Caiyun interrupted Lin Shu and gave her a wink.

Lin Shu understood, and said, "Let's not stand here, Lian'er, come in quickly."

Lin Shu welcomed Su Lian into the inner room, sent all the servants out, and the two sat facing each other and talked about themselves.

Su Lian asked about Lin Shu's life after marriage to find out about her former friend.Lin Shu's natal family is a prominent local family that has lasted for seven or eight generations, and now there are several uncles and cousins ​​in the family who are officials in the court.Although the family line of Lin Shu's natal family is not well-off and has no children who have become officials, their status in Qinghe County is still quite high.She is the eldest daughter of this lineage, and she is married to the County Weicheng family, and is also a combination of a powerful family and a noble family, and each takes what she needs.

Lin Shu's husband, Cheng Shiyong, is the eldest son of Mrs. Wei Cheng in Qinghe County.Although this Cheng Shiyong was born in the army like his father, he was able to read and write when he was young, and he especially admired girls from scholars.Lin Shu has a good family background, is well-read in poetry and books, and is also pretty in appearance. After she married, she was held in the palm of her husband's hand and loved very much.

Su Lian listened, with a smile on her lips, sincerely happy for her friend.

"That's great. Seeing you living so well, I'm happier than myself getting rich." Su Lian smiled.

"Don't talk about me. Lian'er, how are you doing?" Lin Shu asked with concern while holding Su Lian's hand.

Su Lian sighed, but she didn't shy away from it, and told about the situation of the Zhang family's desolate and impenetrable situation.As Lin Shu listened, she tightly tangled the silk handkerchief in her hand.

"It's all your fault for your black-hearted aunt and cruel-hearted father!" Lin Shu scolded, "This daughter's marriage is the second reincarnation, and they won't give you a way to survive! Lian'er, I know, you were killed by that The one framed by Aunt Zhao is also your brother-in-law, who used to be in your family school, I can see that he has been coveting you!"

Su Lian shrugged her shoulders and said: "It's more than that, my aunt even took the dowry that my mother saved so hard."

"What?! Even your dowry?!" Lin Shu stood up abruptly.

Su Lian pulled her to sit down again, and said patiently: "So, my mother and I are really driven to a desperate situation now. You also know that my mother is used to being a bully, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to be the head of the house." .No matter what, this life has to go on. Seeing that Brother Shan is a good person, but hunting in the mountains is always on and off. If you want to have rice for the pot every day and clothes for the winter, you have to rely on me."

"Rely on you?" Lin Shu looked at her friend, "Lian'er, you can't carry it on your shoulders or hands, do you still want to start from scratch?"

Su Lian raised her head and said: "Why, can't you just look at me? People often say that women are not as good as men."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lin Shu pointed to Su Lian's forehead, then turned around and took out a small bag from her cabinet and stuffed it for Su Lian: "I know you're coming, I've prepared some idle money, don't be brave, Treat it as if I lent it to you. When the situation improves, you will return it to me."

Su Lian weighed the broken silver in her hand, it looked like two liang.The farm family has worked hard all year, but they can't save the money.

She smiled and said, "Shu'er, I'm afraid I can't pay the money."
