Those things about the landlady

Chapter 78

Seeing the carriages of the magistrate and his party walking away, it took half a salary for Yunshan to come back to her senses. She asked in disbelief, "Is this Aunt Liu the one who was kicked out of our mansion back then?"

Shu Ran nodded affirmatively. After all, there are not many women with her charm. It has only been a few months since she left Yao Mansion, so she won't remember the wrong person.

"My maidservant remembers that Aunt Liu didn't look like this back then. Although she was beautiful, she was able to do things well. She shouldn't be as careless as she is today."

Shu Ran didn't find it too difficult to accept, and said indifferently: "After she left our mansion, her life was not very satisfactory, she must have suffered a lot, and finally earned the position of a decent aunt in the backyard of the county magistrate. It’s not too long before the newcomer robbed him of his favor, and there are ups and downs in a short period of time, and there are some faint tricks when the mentality collapses.”

Yun Shan had a look of fear, "The backyard of the officials and eunuchs, the fighting is really fierce. Fortunately, our master knows how to turn back when he lost his way, otherwise our mansion would not be peaceful."

Shu Ran nodded in agreement, "It's a pity that many men still dream of harmony between their wives and concubines, that's all, it has nothing to do with us, Aunt Liu committed suicide by herself, plus what I hinted just now, it is estimated that she will completely fall out of favor. "

Yunshan only cared about her master's safety, and said nonchalantly: "If she is favored, I'm afraid she will find trouble with her wife, it would be safer to fall out of favor."

Shu Ran didn't say anything, maybe Aunt Liu was really moved by Master Yao, otherwise she wouldn't have hated her so much.

It's a pity that she is not a good person, and she has no sympathy for the enemy. No matter who is right or wrong at the beginning, she may have no chance to take revenge now.

Shu Ran only felt happy physically and mentally when things happened here, and the Yao family had indeed lost part of their profits. The accountant hadn't reported the exact amount of the money, but Shu Ran knew it well.

When Master Yao is not in the mansion, maintaining stability is the most correct approach. Obviously Wang Steward and Xie Donglai also think so.

Just after returning to the mansion, Xie Donglai came to look for Shu Ran again, and he said with a gloomy face: "Madam, when the subordinate went down to give money to the living man, the man felt sorry for receiving the favor from our mansion, and secretly followed him I mentioned that the reason why the ship sank was not only related to the wind and waves and the large amount of cargo on board, but the most important thing was that the boss of the ship had been drinking and he didn’t steer properly, which is why such a big accident happened.”

Shu Ran's complexion changed, she slapped her palm heavily on the table, and said coldly: "If there is an accident caused by a strong wind and waves, it is an accident. Our Yao family can take full responsibility for it, but if it is the negligence of the boat boss himself, then he You should pay the price."

Xie Donglai also thought so, and he said with a sullen face: "Not only did the old man not take the initiative to take responsibility, but he just lived a good life, and he has the nerve to take our family's pension money. He is really tired of living. We have to teach him a lesson. .”

Xie Donglai looked at Shu Ran tentatively. In his eyes, although his wife was smart, she might not understand some dirty things behind her back. Women always have limitations.

Shu Ran said with a half-smile: "You don't know what to do, Mr. Xie? The Yao family's property is not all on the surface. Although I don't understand the rules behind it, it must have its meaning." , you just follow the rules, if he doesn't want to take responsibility, he won't have to eat the boat."

Each profession has its own rules, and Shu Ran will not be merciful. Xie Donglai admires his wife's ruthlessness, embraces the command, and hurried out the door. He is worried that the boss of the boat will sneak away after getting the news, and then he will have to work hard. Find someone.

There is no disturbance in Shu Ran's heart. She is long past the age of compassion. She only cares about the gains and losses that can be seen, and she is not afraid of criticism from outsiders. As long as the matter is handled in a righteous way, there is no psychological burden.

When she was free, Shu Ran was also in the mood to play with her children, and ordered Yunshan to bring her sisters over.

Sister Ning was born more and more beautiful now, looking at her rosy face with more delicate features, Shu Ran lost her mind for a moment.

Holding her little hand, she sighed: "It's said that women's big eighteen changes, I haven't seen you for a few days, how did you become more beautiful? You will have to wear a hat when you go out in the future."

After all, a girl who is too beautiful is easy to cause trouble. The Yao family has not yet reached the point of covering the sky with one hand, so it is better for the daughter to hide in the deep boudoir.Sister Ning blushed, and said embarrassedly: "Recently, Nanny Luo has used various beauty remedies for me, and I think they are of some use."

Shu Ran couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch her tender face, and said with a smile: "It's not only useful, it's simply amazing. These prescriptions alone are enough for other wives to compete for."

Sister Ning nodded in agreement, she is not an ignorant little girl, Shu Ran's deliberate suggestion, coupled with Mrs. Luo's hard work in teaching, today's Sister Ning is no worse than those noble girls in the capital.

Shu Ran stroked her hair bun, and carefully instructed: "A girl's beauty is indeed a sharp weapon, but it's not all about beauty, only if you have something in your mind, and with the blessing of beauty, you can go further .”

Sister Ning is now very convinced of her mother's words, she nodded docilely, "Don't worry, mother, I know it all in my heart, and now I still have something to learn from Mother Luo."

The current sister Ning is quite different from before. This is what Shu Ran is willing to see, and she is very pleased. She glanced at the bitter and bitter sister Xin, and asked curiously: "Who messed with me again?" Sister Xin is angry? This small mouth can hold a bottle of oil."

Sister Xin said irritably: "Mother, it's all my father's fault. You asked us to write to him, but I don't even know what to write."

Shu Ran was taken aback, and said amusedly: "Of course you thought of something to say, is it possible that you have to be taught to talk to your father?"

Sister Xin squeezed her fat paw in embarrassment, and sighed helplessly, "When he was at home, he didn't have a good chat with me. I didn't chat, so how could I know how to write it."

It's true, it's only because Master Yao doesn't get along with his daughter too much, Shu Ran suggested with a smile: "Otherwise, you can tell your father some happy things about you, and he will be happy to see it." .”

Sister Xin was overjoyed when she heard the words, "It can be said that I have been very happy recently."

Shu Ran really wanted to say something, you will be unhappy someday, but she kept her mouth shut for fear of making the fat girl cry.

I couldn't help it, and stretched out my hand to pinch her chubby face, and asked maliciously: "Is Miss Xin gaining weight again, this little face is getting rounder."

Sister Ning chuckled, looked at her younger sister's sad eyes, and quickly defended: "Mother misunderstood, our sister Xin is not plump, she just drank a little more water when she slept last night, and she was a little swollen. "

Sister Xin thought the reason was very pleasant, she quickly nodded in agreement, and said solemnly: "Sister is right, mother, don't misunderstand."

Shu Ran choked back her stomachache from laughing, and tried to suppress it, fearing that she would ruin her skills, looked up at Yunshan and saw that she also looked like this, and said with a smile: "Since you know what to write to your father, why don't you write it to your father?" Just write it here with your mother, so I can polish it for you."

Sister Xin nodded hurriedly, and said confidently: "Okay, my handwriting has been getting better recently, and my husband even praised me."

Shu Ran was a little surprised when she heard the words, can the little fat claw write a good handwriting?She felt a little mysterious.

Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are always kept in the main courtyard. Sister Ning's letter has already been written, so there is no need to start writing now. The mother and daughter just watched Sister Xin write.

Sure enough, even if the little cub writes in a serious manner, she is very happy. Although she has gone to school for a few days, in fact, she only knows a few more words. It is too difficult for her to write letters with a pen.

However, Shu Ran didn't help, and asked her to draw pictures instead of the words she couldn't write. The little fat girl immediately found the joy of writing letters. A letter is made up of various pictures and Chinese characters. Anyway, Shu Ran who was watching Sister He Ning didn't see what it meant, so I'll leave it to Master Yao to guess.

As long as the children stay by their side, it seems that they can absorb a steady stream of energy. After accompanying them to eat and send them away, Shu Ran is revived with full blood.

Little Fatty's letter hung out for a long time, and after the ink was dry, she put the letter written by the mother and three together in the envelope. She also sent a message to Brother Zhong, but Brother Zhong didn't bring the letter. Thinking about it, I don't know what to say to my father.

On the second day, the letter was sent away with the caravan going to the capital, and Shu Ran didn't expect a reply. She started to take care of her baby, and there were not many things going on in the house now, so she could lie down for a while.

It has been several months since Shu Ran relaxed like this, and her stomach has also grown from a little bit to a big belly now, and it is difficult to bend down to pick things up.

Fortunately, she pays attention to exercise, and it is not too strenuous. She wakes up early and eats breakfast and then starts to walk. This is a daily rule. Although she has given birth to two children before, who can give birth To put it clearly, it is always right to exercise well.

After walking around, Shu Ran's forehead was covered with thin sweat. Yun Shan supported her and felt distressed, but she herself didn't feel anything wrong, panting slightly and drinking water in small sips.

"Who accompanied uncle to Fucheng to watch the announcement yesterday? I don't have a good memory, so I forgot."

Shu Jun successfully passed the county examination a few years ago. He was still young at that time and there was no publicity.

Shu Ran didn't know much about his studies, and he had heard others praise him, but he hadn't passed the imperial examination, so he was always uncertain whether it was good or bad.

"Don't worry, ma'am, with Steward Xie following along, our uncle will definitely be on the list."

Yunshan was worried that her bad mood would affect the fetus in her womb. After all, her womb is more than seven months old now, and there is a risk of premature delivery if she is not careful. The master has not sent any news back, so the servants in the house are inevitably panicked .

It's even worse for someone like Yunshan to serve her closely. She doesn't worry about anything else, she just hopes that her wife can give birth to her brother smoothly.
