Rebirth of the original wife

Chapter 3

The night is as cool as water, and the waning moon is in the sky.

Li Wan woke up suddenly, looked at the top of the tent with a bright red pattern, thought it was another nightmare, her whole body broke out in cold sweat, pinching the corners of the quilt with both hands, wiped the fine thin sweat on her face with the red brocade quilt, and wiped the sweat on her back. The clothes are probably wet.

The lamp on the bed curtain swayed in the wind, and the wick was faintly extinguished.

The drowsiness was gone, Li Wan opened her eyes, recalling the scene in her dream with lingering fear, perhaps, it was not a dream, it was unclear, it was very far, very close.

It was dark outside, and gradually there was a glimmer of light.

Soon, there was a slight sound of footsteps, followed by the creak of the door opening, the servant girl's footsteps were extremely light, a face shrouded in the light that flickered on and off, Li Wan still recognized it at the first sight , Zilan - her dowry maid.

Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and tilted her head to see her shrinking her head, uncovering the lampshade and placing it on the ground, holding a knife in one hand, and gently holding the candlestick with the other, slowly scraping off the remaining wax drops, and putting it behind a new candle Put the lampshade back on.

She really came back to life, closed her eyes, and quickly recalled the events of her previous life in her mind. After thinking about it, her sleepy eyes regained clarity. By the way, today is the day when the old lady came back from burning incense in the temple. Going to pick up the old lady.

Lifting the curtains, Zilan bent over to clean up the wax drops on the floor, and when she was done, she went to open the window.

She seemed to be very attentive, Li Wan got out of bed without hearing her movement, put on her shoes, and walked out gently.

The courtyard she lives in is called Huaxian Courtyard. Before the big wedding, Qin Muyin nominated and hung a plaque. She lives in the main house and the east and west rooms are reserved for future wives and concubines. Now they are still vacant.

All the maids in the yard joined together.

Li Wan was wearing single clothes, and the autumn wind was blowing into her bones, but she didn't feel cold.

Lift your feet and go down to the side courtyard where people live.

There is a kitchen and a bedroom in the side courtyard. The two housekeepers and her nurse live in the east side of the side yard. There is a small kitchen there for the servants. The four maids live in one room in the west, and the remaining two rooms in the side. There are nine servant girls and two gatekeepers.

When Li Wan walked into the side courtyard, they were all busy, burying their heads in each other's work, and the mother in charge put her hands on her waist and yelled to hurry up.

"What are you doing, Miss Zilan is on duty, don't hurry up, be careful, Madam will punish you!"

The wife she was talking about was Li Wan.

She stood in the courtyard, watching them tidy up, busy.

Yue Gui, who just walked out of the kitchen after eating, saw Li Wan coming, her hands trembling, she lowered her head, and forgot to say hello for a while.

"Yuegui, what are you doing with the stick? The wind blew up last night, and a lot of leaves fell in the yard. Don't rush to clean it. Ma'am is about to get up!" Zhang's mother is 40 years old, and she is the son of the Beiyanhou Mansion. When I was young, I helped take care of the young master for a while. In the mansion, everyone gave her a bit of respect. When Li Wan married, there was a mother in charge in the courtyard, so the old lady mentioned her name.

Zhang's mother is fat, wearing a long emerald green dress, with a bun on her round head and three jade hairpins, one red, one green, one yellow and one green.When talking, the flesh at the corners of the eyebrows twitched and twitched, and the flesh at the waist also moved up and down in conjunction with the movements of the body. When talking to her, he couldn't laugh, and always hung his head inexplicably.

Zilan said that it was because of Zhang's mother's high voice, cold eyes, stern face, not angry and pretentious, they would be frightened after watching for a long time, so they dared not look up.

Yuegui's body trembled again, and when she looked up, there were tears in her eyes, and her hand was still pointing in her direction, Li Wan pulled her throat and coughed.

"Yuegui, go clean the yard when you're done, it's gloomy today, it's probably going to rain, just pick up the leaves in the yard!"

Zhang's mother froze for a moment, but when she turned around, she returned to her serious look.Li Wan nodded to her, signaling not to disturb the others.

The day when she was reborn was not coincidental, it happened to be the day when she was angry in her previous life but the old lady protected Xia Qingqing, and she said a few harsh words so angry that the old lady went to live in the temple for a few days and came back. There was a lot of talking about her, and she was angry in her heart, and she beat the other mother in charge because of a trivial matter.

After beating the old lady and leaving, Li Wan stayed behind closed doors, reticent, remembering last night that her mother in charge was still raising her in the house, so she came to have a look.

"Is Mama Li better?"

It was almost four days, and after four days of ignorance, Li Wan finally remembered about Mama Li.

Zhang's mother pursed her lips and did not speak. She took her to a room, opened the door and walked in.

Li Wan saw the furnishings in the room clearly.

There are two beds side by side in the innermost corner of the wall, a tea table is placed on the left and right sides of the bed, and two dressing boxes are placed on it, and a mirror is placed on the box.

There was a table in the middle of the room, with four stools under it, and a kettle and two cups on the table.

Two steps to the left by the door, there are two washstands.

Li Wan walked into the room, the outer bed was tidy and brand new, the inner bed was slightly raised from the quilt, only the back of her head was exposed.

Hearing the movement, Li's mother did not turn over.
