Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 356 Ancient Frontier Town (2)
Wanqing was taken aback when she heard that, but the Fourth Young Mistress didn't say a word of politeness, she spoke straight and bluntly, without turning a corner at all.

"Sister-in-law is right, but marry a chicken and follow the chicken. There is no one in our daughter's family who doesn't want to be with the husband. There is not only the eldest son in the house, but also several sister-in-laws." The second old lady has only one grandson. , the fourth young master came to Beijiang to take up his post, and the fourth young grandma, as the only granddaughter-in-law, didn't say that she would stay in the capital to fulfill her filial piety in front of the second old lady, so why should she say herself.

The Fourth Young Mistress was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "I'm not used to my old lady. If I stay in Beijing, I will only make her unhappy. Why don't I come here with your fourth brother? The old lady is in Beijing." Live a little more comfortably.”

Wanqing was stunned by the words of the Fourth Young Mistress, and it took her a long time to recover. Unexpectedly, the Fourth Young Mistress was a wonderful person, so forthright and cute, she smiled in her eyes: "Sisao, how can you?" It's so straightforward, I like this temperament, the second old lady is your real grandmother, you are not used to her, so I don't need to say, the mother-in-law came later, and I am even more uncomfortable, so I had to come with my husband-in-law gone."

The Fourth Young Mistress finally had a smile on her plain face, and she seemed to like Wanqing's straight-talking tone. Once she clapped her hands, she asked her mother-in-law to come up with two big bags of things: "You are just here! , I originally wanted to clean up the dust for you, but Brother Li has not returned, so I will put this matter on hold for now, and I will do it when Brother Li comes back. I will not give away those yellow and white things, but I will give you two Let's pack realgar."

Wanqing was overjoyed to hear that realgar is a drug used to repel snakes. There are too many weeds in the yard. Although they have been cut down, there are still many snakes, rats, insects and ants. Although Wanqing asked her servants to boil two large pots to repel insects The medicine was sprinkled around the house, but the effect is probably not very good. With realgar, it will be much better, at least the snake will not come again.

"Thank you Sisao, realgar is much more useful than yellow and white things, Sisao sent it too timely."

"There is one more thing I have to tell you. I found a big house for you in Dongzhen, not far from the Dudu's Mansion. You can go with me to see if you like it. If you like it, You can buy it or rent it, this is not a place for people to live in, you have to move there." The Fourth Young Mistress heard Wanqing's sincere thanks, without nodding her head, and said again.

"Ah, move out? Don't you live in the Dudu's Mansion?" Wanqing was shocked when she heard that.

"Are you just paying for the yard? There are not many soldiers in the town, and now the barbarians come to disturb the city from time to time. You can't always let the soldiers guard your yard in the future." The fourth young lady's tone was still flat, a little turbulent nor.

"But..." But what is this Dudu Mansion built for, isn't it a waste?Moreover, it is also far away from Shangguan Yeli. It is inconvenient for Shangguan Yeli to run around after finishing his business, but... it is really not suitable for people to live here...

"Sister-in-law, do you also live in the house you rented?" Wanqing asked strangely.

"That's not true. I live in the Tongpan Mansion, and there is a house behind the Yamen." Fourth Young Mistress said naturally.

"I won't go to see that house for now. The fourth sister-in-law came just in time. I want to visit the former governor. I heard that he also rented a house in the east of the town. They are going to move anyway, so I will rent it from them." The house." Wanqing said and got up.

The Fourth Young Mistress seemed to raise her eyes to look at Wanqing seriously, her eyes lighted slightly, she got up and said: "Okay, it happens that Mrs. Qian hasn't left Beijing yet, so I should talk to her again."

Wanqing didn't expect the Fourth Young Mistress to be so forthright, she happily watched Yu Xinyou walking out together, the Fourth Young Mistress didn't recognize Yu Xinyou, seeing that she was dressed as a woman, but she didn't look like a servant, she couldn't help being stunned, Wanqing then Glancing at Yu Xinyou, Yu Xinyou shook her head at her. When she was on the road earlier, Yu Xinyou said that when she arrived in Longjing Town, she didn't want to show her identity as an aunt. it is good.

Wanqing knows that Yu Xinyou is somewhat resistant to the identity of aunt now. When people are young, they always have some desires and longings for things that they never had, looking at glamorous things, and they often want to get them at a price. , and when you really get it, you realize that what you get is far less precious than what you lost.

Yu Xinyou's current mentality is like this, although she can't change the status quo temporarily, but she has a strong self-esteem and doesn't want to see the disdain and contempt in others' eyes, so Wanqing has no choice but to let her go.

"Sister-in-law Si is familiar with Mrs. Qian, I wonder how long she has lived in Longjing Town?" Wanqing didn't know how to introduce Yu Xinyou, so she simply changed the subject.

"Of course I took up the post together with Mr. Qian. I've met a few times and I'm not very familiar with them, but they are all from the same town in Beijing, so I still have some face." Fourth Young Mistress was straightforward as always.

The master said that Dudu Qian didn't bring his family, so it was all a lie, he probably didn't know about the relationship between Fourth Young Master and Shangguan Yeli, wouldn't he be afraid of being exposed for such a clumsy lie?

As soon as they went out, the Fourth Young Mistress and Wanqing got into the same carriage, and Yu Xinyou also sat in the same carriage. The Fourth Young Mistress just gave Yu Xinyou an indifferent look and didn't say anything.

When Wanqing came here yesterday, because she was too tired, she didn't pay much attention to the customs of Longjing Town. Now that she followed the Fourth Young Mistress out of the house, she lifted the curtain and looked on the street. Sure enough, she saw that the houses here were all green The houses are built with bricks and blue tiles, and the houses are very low and rough. Most of the Hu people on the street wear very simple sheepskin jackets and big sheepskin hats. Wearing animal skins of various colors, nondescript, they look like primitive people. Near winter, there are almost no people who only wear cotton jackets.

There are many shops, but many of them are closed. There are many barbarians setting up street stalls on both sides of the street, displaying newly hunted game, and some are hanging the bloody skins of wolves, tigers, and foxes that have just been cut off. On the rope, hawking there, it looks really embarrassing.

Those barbarians basically have high noses and deep eyes, and their appearance is very rough. Their speech is the same as that of the Central Plains, but their accents are a little different. Almost every one of them has a machete on their waist, and their expressions are fierce. The Han people on the road are not Not many. Occasionally, some people pass by and are stopped by barbarians and insist on buying their things. The Han people in Longjing Town seem to be very afraid of barbarians. Hu people are not allowed to counter-offer after asking the price. If Han people talk a few words, they will be beaten and scolded by Hu people. Those who are stopped and have no money will be directly stripped of clothes and jewelry by Hu people.
