The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 261

"Oh, I never thought that the little concubine named Chuntao turned out to be a lucky one. Not only did she get a reward of 100 taels of silver, but she was also hired by a rich man's family to be a concubine for the rich man. .”

Years ago, Shi Chuying went to the old house to visit Chu Man again, and brought a jar of mountain honey that she mixed with Qiuyungu juice for Chu Man to recover.Once in the old house, it is unavoidable to come to the "Chengxinyuan" to sit and listen to Liu's gossip.

The Jiang family's affairs were not small, and the higher-ups had no intention of controlling the news, so soon, no matter the prince's mansion or the honorable family, they spread this matter as a negative teaching material for getting married and after-dinner conversation. Within two days, Teahouses and restaurants in the capital are full of gossip.

"Tsk tsk, I heard that many people in Beijing are vying to hire Chuntao to be their concubine, and there are also those romantic young masters who want to redeem her, but Chuntao actually ignored them." Give it to the nanny, and let her take it out to bask in the sun, while whispering gossip.

"Sister-in-law even knows this?" Shi Chuying asked in surprise.

"What is this!" Mrs. Liu took a stick and tied a piece of honeydew melon to Shi Chuying, smiled and glanced at Shi Chuying and said: "You don't know, now in our house, whether it's shopping at the vegetable market or driving a car The gatekeeper, there are people who talk to you everywhere you go, and there is nothing you don’t know about these things.”

"Speaking of that Chuntao is benevolent. If she didn't see it, she wanted to take advantage of it and help out. I don't know how long this matter will have to be covered. This is the reward she deserves." Shi Hatsuzakura said while eating honeydew melon.

She remembered that Chuntao had said that day that she would rather have a good time with a wealthy local man than enter into a well-known and well-off family who was glamorous in the open and secretly working in secret.

Thinking of this, Shi Chuying couldn't help laughing: "Then Chuntao has some brains, otherwise, since she has no backing and connections, it sounds nice to be redeemed, but in fact, can she even keep the 100 taels of silver?" It's not a matter of living. If you think this rich man is in the suburbs of Beijing, at any rate, considering Chuntao's reputation at this time, he won't treat her badly."

Mrs. Liu nodded, "That's true. 100 taels of silver is a lot for ordinary people, but even a dilapidated courtyard in Beijing can't be sold. If you live in the suburbs, you can sell a few acres of land and you can't grow it yourself. A young woman who doesn’t know anything about rent collection in Diantian, and still waiting to be slaughtered as a fat sheep? Why don’t you take advantage of the current momentum and pick a good one.”

"I heard that the dowry recovered from 'Yongyi Pavilion' is less than [-]%?"

Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes in the direction of the Buddhist hall, "Just waiting for others, the dowries of the three daughter-in-laws were not less occupied, otherwise the eldest daughter-in-law's natal family would not have hit the door. They didn't get hit, and the old godmother would have I wouldn't think of a way to control people who are addicted to drugs so that they can take over the dowry of their daughter-in-law with peace of mind."

The two sisters-in-law chatted for a while, and Mrs. Liu asked again: "Is your family busy with the New Year's work?"

Shi Chuying sighed, and said, "Where can I finish my work? In the past few days, I suddenly received a lot of posts asking for New Year's wine, but I haven't dealt with them yet. Reason, I just heard that there was an order to reprimand the old lady in the palace yesterday evening, so why don't I find a reason to come here this morning to have a look."

Anyway, they were Chu Xu's grandmothers, they couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb.But it's hard to say clearly that it's for this, otherwise people will still be gloating, watching a joke or something...

Mrs. Liu looked around, leaned closer to Shi Chuying and said, "It was reprimanded for being 'unkind' and 'disrespectful'. When we received the order, we all followed the training, and even the order was accepted, and we should be graded." The crown uniform was confiscated at that time. The old lady really passed out at that time..."

"This is..." Shi Chuying said to herself, she really did it on her own!
This is the worst punishment for an old lady.Without the imperial seal, I would have no face to meet people even when I left the Buddhist hall.All the daughters-in-law and grand-daughters-in-law with titles in the family are more decent than her, and with the reputation of being 'unkind', how can she show off at will?
It is estimated that she may not be willing to let her out now.

"She is considered good. If the old man hadn't personally sent her to the Buddhist hall, and then went to the clan mansion to plead guilty, I'm afraid she would be punished more severely than this." Mrs. Liu snorted.As the eldest daughter-in-law of the second room, she has not been less angry with the old lady for so many years, so she just feels happy at this moment.

"I'm just sorry for Sister Man..."

Shi Chuying patted Liu Shi's hand and said, "Actually, she has survived, just like she said, let's treat it as a new life!"

This year in the old house is destined to not be festive.

But for Shi Chuying and Chu Xu, their first New Year is still worth looking forward to.

A few years ago, Shi Chuying made a special trip to Beishan and caught a lot of frozen frogs. Firstly, it was a new year addition to the food, and this frozen frog is a rare good thing. Second, she promised the "Wanci Medicinal Materials Store" to restock during the New Year. .

Now in the capital, the sales volume of Yurong Ointment and Yuyan Bean has far exceeded that of Jianzhou. The original volume of [-] boxes would not be enough for a day or two in the capital.

Shi Chuying thought about it for a while, and there are indeed many rich and leisurely people in the capital, and there are more ladies and noble ladies, so she promised to make a series of beauty creams after the new year, and was delighted to be greeted repeatedly by the shopkeeper He Da.This is the Goddess of Wealth.

It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, and it's a sunny and bright day.

Chu Xu set up a large case in the main room, covered with gold-stamped red paper, and Shi Chuying and Shi Chuying wrote Spring Festival couplets and blessings together. At the door, besides the servants who posted the pairs, there were also waiting for the master to send them off. With the word "Fu", there are dozens of people crowded together.

"Do you really want to write a hundred blessings?!" Shi Chuying looked at the thick stack of gold-pinned red paper in front of her, and there were still a few girls continuing to cut it.

After studying the inkstone, Chu Xu glanced at Shi Chuying with a smile and said, "Your handwriting is more rhythmic, and the ink seems to be flowing. Of course, it's better for you to write. However, if you are tired, let's change it." It’s okay to change hands. But the pair on the gate of our house and this main courtyard has to be written and pasted first. Come quickly, I’ll lay out the paper for you!”

Chu Xu waved at Shi Chuying, then stretched out his hand to embrace the flat-mouthed Shi Chuying, and said with a smile, "It's the first New Year in our house, and the legends about the wife of the General Fuguo's wife in the marketplace are all published now. It's a sequel, so let's get some good luck, won't we?"
