A Poisonous Woman from a Good Story

Shen Qiujun slowly recalled the events of his previous life, and before he knew it, he walked outside the Chunhui Garden where his grandmother lived.

At this time, a breeze blew by, bringing a hint of fragrance, refreshing.

Xueliu couldn't help closing her eyes and sniffing deeply, said with a smile, "It's so fragrant, I don't know what kind of flowers are coming out, but I haven't smelled it much before?"

Xue Xiang also smelled it carefully, shook her head and said: "It doesn't seem to be the fragrance of flowers, but it is burning incense."

Xueliu didn't believe it, she smiled and said, "There is no one living in this garden, where does the incense come from?"

Seeing this, Shen Qiujun smiled and said: "It's really not the fragrance of flowers, I'm afraid it's the incense burned in this house. Grandma, an old man, always likes to burn incense. She is particular about when and what kind of incense she burns. Although she is in Ludi now, she is here. Still burning incense every day according to her old man's preference."

Xueliu couldn't help clicking her tongue, and snorted: "It's cheaper for the maids and women who work here. What the old lady likes must be good. This year, it will cost a lot of money for the enjoyment of these people. "

Shen Qiujun also felt that it was too wasteful. In her previous life, she rarely burned incense except in Buddhist halls. In this life, she just picked up some mild incense from the shop to burn because she was interested in it by chance. It was very common for her. She is an ordinary person, who burns that good incense, always sneezes, and always feels like she is burning money, but she dare not say this about her grandmother, after all, it is about filial piety. Going down, outsiders say that they also criticize the mother, and spend money to buy a filial name.

Shen Qiujun smiled and said: "Don't always keep your mouth shut, people like us can't afford to burn some good incense. Let's go in and see what kind of incense is burned."

The three masters and servants entered the hanging flower gate.Pass through the screen door and come to the courtyard. Although there are some flowers and plants in the courtyard, it is obviously not that kind of fragrance.

At this time, there were two little girls in the garden who were pruning flowers and trees, seeing Lord Shen Qiu coming in, they hurriedly put down their work, and came forward to pay respects.

Shen Qiujun smiled and said: "It's quiet here, I came here to find incense, you just go about your own business."

The voice just fell.Then I heard a woman yelling and cursing from inside the room: "It's the hour of Shen, why are you still burning benzoin, it's time to replace it with agarwood."

Shen Qiujun and others were taken aback. At this time, they heard a slap in the face again, and then heard a little girl crying: "I just forgot the time when I was doing my work. Please forgive me, Madam Li. I will never dare to do this again." .”

But the old lady inside still persisted, and scolded again: "Are you all dead? You can't remember such a big thing. The old lady is not here, and you are all turned upside down."

Xuexiang heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Who is in charge here. The third lady is here, hurry up and serve her."

The room immediately fell silent.After a while, an old woman and three little maids came out one after another, and after a while, two or three daughters-in-law came out from the next room.

Shen Qiujun didn't speak, but just looked at one of the little girls with swollen cheeks and messy hair.

Nanny Li hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Grandma Li has seen Miss. The old woman is in charge of the yard now, what orders does Miss have?" At the end she explained: "Just now the little girl didn't work hard, so the old slave taught me a lesson. I said a few words to her, but I didn't expect Miss to be there, what a crime!"

Shen Qiujun saw this person's age.He knew that he must have served grandma, so it's not good to embarrass her too much.Then he laughed and said: "little girls are still young, so they will naturally be inconsiderate in doing things. Just teach them to the person who takes care of them. Why bother yourself. You are also an old man who takes care of your grandmother. You can't be serious with them. .”

Nanny Li hurriedly laughed, said yes repeatedly, and then sighed: "Before the old lady left Beijing, there were three or four maids who were in charge of burning incense alone. Now there are only four girls in the garden. Cleaning inside and out, less people and more work, so I always care about the head and the tail.”

Xuexiang and the others couldn't help but look at Nanny Li coldly. Shen Qiujun didn't expect her always shrewd grandmother to be so ruthless in her subordinates. Now that her grandmother is not in the capital, does she still want to follow the previous example and enjoy it? What a tiger The monkey is not at home and is called the king.

Shen Qiujun looked at Li Nanny coldly, until Li Nanny bowed her head before she went to the main room.

It's also because of my mother's good temper. If it was her, since grandma is not in the capital, she should seal the yard. When grandma comes back, she can just clean it out in advance.

Now there is not a single master in this yard, this Madam Li is living a more comfortable life than the master, the seven or eight people below only serve her, and burn incense every day according to the time of day, even the mother is not as fine as her.

Shen Qiujun entered the house, looked at the almost empty room, and understood the past life a little bit in his heart.

In her previous life, since her grandmother returned to her hometown, she had never set foot in this yard again. She didn't know that there was nothing in this room except for some clumsy household items that could catch people's eyes.

It would be fine if the mother put away some valuable things, but since these people were sent to guard here, it wouldn't be possible to put away even the things that are not worth a few dollars for daily use.

Nanny Li stood behind Shen Qiujun, saw Shen Qiujun's confusion, and said with some pride: "The old lady is a nostalgic person, and she is very particular, so she will move all the things that come in handy before leaving Beijing." gone."

Shen Qiujun sneered secretly in his heart: Being too particular about it is just showing off and being pretentious.

It's no wonder that Shen Qiujun looked down on the old lady of the Shen family in his heart and was unfamiliar with her, Shen Qiujun himself had reasons in his heart.

Among the several granddaughters, Mrs. Shen liked Shen Lijun who was raised by her side the most, and it was the same with Shen Xijun and Shen Qiujun.

Shen Qiujun is not as resentful as Shen Xijun, because she was raised by her mother since she was a child, so she naturally received more maternal love than her two elder sisters. One goes up and down the other. She feels that except for the second sister who is more pitiful, she and the eldest sister both deserve what they deserve , so he doesn't complain about his grandmother, and he is an elder of his own family, so he is naturally filial.

Shen Qiujun doesn't like his grandmother, mainly because she made her mother lose face in front of everyone in her previous life.

The previous quarrel between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, because they are all their elders, Shen Qiujun can't say who is right and who is wrong, but when the second brother got married in the previous life, the grandmother firmly prevented the mother from stepping down, which made her very angry.

It is said that the family ugliness should not be publicized, and the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can be resolved in the courtyard, but the grandmother who has always boasted of being wise and wise put her mother as unfilial as soon as she returned to the capital. The pros and cons of being estranged from grandma.

Shen Qiujun from the previous life has already married to Prince Xian's mansion at this time, she is overwhelmed by various things, she has no time to help her mother, and the second sister is also confinement, so the matter of the second brother's marriage, inside and out The mother is alone.

Grandma suddenly came to the capital nearly half a month earlier, and sent letters to the elders in the capital.

But the mother only got the news a few hours in advance, and when she hurried over, those old servants had already arrived for a long time, and the mother had to say that she was dumb.

When I got back to the Shen Mansion, it was said that the Chunhui Courtyard was in chaos. Those old orders were all from the land of Lu. Although they are all ministers of the Great Qi Dynasty now, they still have some affection for the old master in their hearts. I can't help explaining this. She blamed her mother, but she had no choice but to give up the main courtyard, but even so, she still wore the hat of unfilial piety.

When Shen Qiujun heard about it, he almost exploded with anger, but after all, grandma is an elder, and she can't do anything to her. Besides, grandma once faintly revealed that it was because she robbed the elder sister of everything that she disliked her so much. , It made her unable to stand up and blame her grandmother.

Although things are different in this life, but considering that my mother once set up my grandmother in the second brother's marriage, my grandmother may not be able to pick the bones in the egg, so it is better to take precautions early.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiujun asked Nanny Li a few more words, and with a general idea in mind, he went to talk to his mother.

Mrs. Shen heard from her daughter that she wanted to restore the Chunhui Courtyard to its original state one by one as if her mother-in-law was there, and she couldn't help laughing and said: "It's useless, your grandmother came from a famous family and lived carefully. Everything must be She likes it, and I bought it for her, but she doesn't like it at all, but it was placed in her room again, and it will never be used by her again, so it will only be smashed, which is a pity. Don't think it's empty inside now, when she comes back, all the big and small things will be moved back. Besides, I don't know when she will come back. "

Shen Qiujun hurriedly smiled and said: "My daughter just went for a walk, but she felt that the room was too empty and the things were not good. Even if my daughter thinks so, if an outsider sees it, I don't know what it will think!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen couldn't help being stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "If guests come on weekdays, they will definitely not go to that yard. Outsiders will be invited."

"The elder sister gave birth to Brother Gui safely, and the second elder sister also gave birth to the eldest son. The good news must be on the way. In case grandma is interested, I decided to come and take a look yesterday. I will stay for a while and bring the big and small together. What, what about mother?"

Shen Qiujun saw that his mother still didn't care about it, so he said: "It doesn't have to be expensive, but the style is roughly the same, so that the room doesn't look so empty, everyone looks better, and there is also a courtyard. There are only seven or eight people. I remember that there are seven or eight big girls around my grandmother who are in charge of combing hair, clothes, incense, etc., not including the little girls and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law outside. Today, Nanny Li is still nagging Since my mother can burn incense every day, this money is nothing."

After hearing her daughter's words, Mrs. Shen couldn't help laughing at herself: "Yes, since a large sum of money has been spent, are you afraid of making a complete set? Fortunately, the Shen family has a big business, otherwise, the yard will be provided for nothing. , is enough to make people accept.” (To be continued.
