Beauty is poisonous

Chapter 3 Human Heart
"Second miss, these are the peaches from the village. They said they were for you and my brother to taste first. They were still jumping on the tree just now. They are so fresh. Even my wife is not as lucky as the second miss to try these peaches first. One bite. Look at how big this peach is, it makes people appetite."

Aunt Chen, the wife in charge of the village, walked in with a pair of peaches with dewdrops on them, smiling.

Tao Zhizhang put down the embroidery work in his hands, looked at the bright peaches, and said with a smile: "This year's harvest is good, and the peaches are as big as the mouth of a bowl."

"That's not what happened." Aunt Chen narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Just now the tenants have weighed the harvest, which is [-]% more than the previous year's harvest. This is a lot of money. It is said that it is the second lady. What a blessing."

Tao Zhijuan pursed her lips noncommittally, she has been here for six years, if she is lucky, she should have had it six years ago, how could she have it today?
This Mrs. Chen is trying to make her happy.

To say that Aunt Chen didn’t treat her like this before, Aunt Chen is the niece of the mother’s niece of Nanny Shen, the nanny next to Tao Zhizhu’s aunt Lian, so she was able to marry the steward of Zhuangzi and become the nanny in charge, living a free and prosperous life day.

When Tao Zhizun first came, Aunt Chen made things difficult for them and made them mean in every possible way, which made them cold-eyed.

Because Taozhizhang's mother-in-law, Fengshi, was actually Tao Juzheng's main wife, and she was demoted to concubine because of her mother's treason and implicated her. Therefore, after Lian married into Tao's family, she hated Fengshi very much, and made Fengshi a concubine. Seen as a thorn in the side!
Although the Feng family was a concubine, she was born in a famous family with a transcendent temperament, and she was charming and enchanting in every way. In addition, her poetry, calligraphy and painting were outstanding, she was the only talented woman at that time.

Regardless of color, talent, and demeanor, Lien's cannot match it.

Taoju is good-looking, even though he demoted Fengshi to a concubine, he still covets Fengshi's appearance, and goes to Fengshi to harass Fengshi from time to time, if Fengshi didn't treat him with flimsy words, Taojuzheng would definitely From then on, I stayed in the gentle hometown and couldn't think of leaving.

Do you think the Lian family can't hate the Feng family to the bone?

Therefore, even though the Feng family and Tao Zhizhuan lived far away in Zhuangzi, the Lian family did not stop persecuting the Feng family.

However, when Taoyuan was one year old, Aunt Chen's only son, Feng Fugui, fell into the water for fun and almost drowned. It was Tao Zhizhi who gave Feng Xiaozi artificial respiration and saved Feng Xiaozi's life.

You must know that even though Tao Zhizhang was young at that time, she was a daughter of a thousand gold after all. If such a deed was spread, it would ruin her reputation. In order to save a life, Tao Zhizun actually condescended to such an extent that she let her How could Mrs. Chen not be moved?

So at that time, Aunt Chen knelt down in front of Tao Zhizhang.From then on, Aunt Chen was grateful to Tao Zhijuan, and she did not hesitate to offend Feng's family to cover Tao Zhijuan, and Tao Zhijuan, mother and daughter, lived a normal life.

"Second Miss, this peach is the reddest, let me eat it for my brother." Aunt Chen picked out the biggest peach among the many peaches.

Tao Zhizhang glanced at it, laughed and said: "This peach weighs a catty, how can I eat it?"

"Hehe, look at my brain, I'm really stupid, not to mention my brother, even my kid can't eat such a big one, but the big one is sweeter, the second lady can cut it smaller for my brother to eat."

"That's true." After Tao Zhizhang took the peach and put it aside, he pulled Jiachang and said, "Aunt Chen, Fugui is seven years old, it's time to be enlightened."

Aunt Chen sighed softly, "Oh, what's the use of being a slave who knows how to read? Isn't he made to be a slave?"

"Ms. Chen can't say that. Although you and Feng Guanshi said you sold yourself to the Hou's mansion, your life is not as good as that of an ordinary county magistrate. How can you not think of the younger generation?"

"To tell you the truth, Miss Er, I do have this idea, but although our family looks rich and honored, we can't get rid of slavery. What's the use of learning to read and write even if we're bastards? It's just a matter of serving people, and we can Can't you pass the exam?"

"That may not be true! You and Shen Momo are relatives, and Shen Momo has no offspring. This means that you can be regarded as Shen Momo's heir if you are close to wealth. It's not too difficult."

Aunt Chen's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Really?"

"Of course." Tao Zhizhang said firmly: "But it's serious to find an enlightened person right now, otherwise even if you get out of slavery, you won't be able to pass the exam!"

"It's easy to handle. Wang Xiucai from the neighboring village has also passed the exam. We can invite him to teach my kid, but if a slave invites Wang Xiucai, I'm afraid Wang Xiucai will be kicked out."

"It's not difficult." Tao Zhizhang said with a light smile, "Just say that you are the enlightenment brother, let Fugui be a book boy, so you can learn together?"

"Second Miss is really smart!" Aunt Chen was overjoyed: "I'll invite Wang Xiucai right away."

"Wait." Tao Zhizhang stopped Aunt Chen and said with a smile: "Look at the aunt who said that the wind is the rain, and it's not at this moment. You can't say anything about asking someone to enlighten your brother, otherwise..."

Speaking of this, he frowned, feeling a little sad.

Aunt Chen's heart skipped a beat, she forgot, how could the Lian family have enlightened her elder brother?Over the years, the Lian family has secretly played tricks on Zhige, and every time it is Zhige'er who escapes.

Later, I don’t know what happened, it was rumored that the elder brother was actually destined to die, Kemu Keji was two years old, which meant that the elder brother would not survive.

Everyone didn't really believe it at first, but thinking that Feng's brother died for no reason at the age of two, and what happened to his brother later came true one by one, so everyone believed this statement.

Only in this way did Lian's continuous persecution be dispelled. Anyway, he has been persecuted so many times without success, and his elder brother will not live to be eighteen, so why should Lian be a villain again?
But if there is no persecution, then there is no persecution, but it is absolutely impossible for Brother Zhi to study!
Lian's heart is very scheming, and she is also afraid of people's ways. She doesn't care whether the rumors are true or not, and she will raise her brother and let her go!A disused bastard is absolutely no threat to her legitimate son.

After thinking for a while, Aunt Chen rolled her eyes and said, "Second Miss, this year's harvest is good, and the accountant's calculations are quite tiring, and Wu's accountant is very old, I'm really afraid that he will be tired."
