37 years old, I became a harem concubine

How amazing that a woman who has long been out of touch with youth can actually have a youthful air.

The circle of noble ladies is so big, Cao Jing naturally also heard that Chen Fangyue's Xu Xian has no heirs, and only raises his concubine's daughter under his knees, and now that daughter has also entered the palace, Shen Huan is really a lonely family.

and……

Cao Jing glanced at the coffin shed. The female family members of the Chen family really didn't have the slightest courtesy, so they asked the old lady to guard here alone, and she didn't know where to hide.

Cao Jing unconsciously softened her complexion, and her voice to comfort Shen Huan was more sincere: "Life and death are determined by God, and nothing can be stopped by manpower. Ma'am, my condolences."

Shen Huan didn't know who she was, but she sensed the sincerity in her words, and politely replied: "Mrs. Xie is concerned."

After saying hello in a low voice, Cao Jing left.

The rules here are like this, if the female relatives who come to express condolences are close to the host's family, they can stay here to watch the coffin together, and those who are far away can leave with a few words of crying.

At the end of the day, Shen Huan's voice became hoarse, and the chilblain, which had finally healed, began to itch faintly again.

Among the three brothers who were kneeling here, only Chen Shi was left. Chen Shi moved his huge body, and said to Shen Huan who was on the stool: "Madam, I think your complexion is not very good, do you want to drink some hot water?" Warm the soup."

Shen Huan, who was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, nodded: "What about you, what are the arrangements for Yan Shi?"

The three brothers can't just grab Chen Shi and bully him alone, right?

Chen Shi looked at Chen Fangyue's body: "My son is fine, he is my father, and it is my duty to send him off for the last time."

"..." Shen Huan didn't know what to say, and said after a while, "Then I'll go talk to Yan Shi and ask someone to bring you some food."

It was close to the kitchen, so Shen Huan simply took Qingzi and Wu to the kitchen to see what to eat.

As soon as he walked into the kitchen, he saw that Mrs. Jia had filled the kitchen with a dozen maids and servants, and on the other side was Qin Zhong and other old people in the kitchen.

Before she could speak, Jia Shi had already seen her: "Oh, why is your wife here? Dad is down here, so deserted. How can we do without you?"

Shen Huan pretended not to hear her words, and asked her, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be three or four more people who will come to express their condolences than today. If you don't make arrangements for food and arrangements, what are you doing here?"

Qin Zhong and other old people whose lungs were about to explode couldn't bear it immediately, and you complained to Shen Huan sentence by sentence.

"Ma'am, the little ones did a good job today, and the eldest grandma led the people to drive the little ones out indiscriminately, saying that the kitchen will be taken care of by the big room from today on."

"The original funeral banquet list was also refuted by the grandma. The pork knuckle was replaced by pork head, and the stewed turtle with longan was replaced by fried three shredded vegetables. This...how can I get it!"

"Madam, hurry up and persuade grandma. If you do things like this, outsiders will think of Chen's house and masters."

There was chatter in the kitchen, and Shen Huan heard what had happened.

He really didn't expect Jia Shi to do such a thing, a pork knuckle for a pig's head?Longan stewed soft-shelled turtle instead of vegetarian three silk?

What is the price of the pork knuckle and the price of the pig's head? The wealthy people have never heard of any pork head meat for banquets. If Chen's house goes up, it will probably become famous in Shengjing.

He looked at Mrs. Jia: "Once the master dies, the Chen family will be the master of your house, and I can't make it up to the old lady to tell you what to do or not to do. It's just that the master is still lying there and can't do it well. Not only my face is dull, but you too."

"Your two sons are still young, give them some way, so they won't go out and make people laugh at them in the future."

Jia's roots are not good, and the two sons he gave birth to are not bad. Please treat him well-behaved and diligent. For the sake of the two grandchildren, Shen Huan said this sentence.

But Mrs. Jia has hated him for many years, and once she gained power, she didn't listen to anything he said. Instead, she felt that there was something in his words, so she pouted and looked at him with blank eyes: "Our old lady is worthy of being a cultured person. What I say is different. But he didn’t take a basin of water to take care of himself, thinking that he was like the snow on the top of the mountain, and he was just like old lady Tao, who supported himself with money from the Chen family.”

"Grandma has been the housekeeper for so many years. I am afraid that grandma knows better than anyone else that I use the money for food, clothing and housing in Minghuitang."

Jia Shi chuckled: "I know, Baocui Building, Nishang Pavilion, and a few Zhuangzi outside the city, but they are not all owned by our eldest house. The old lady has occupied them for so many years, so she should have returned."

"You—" Wu Shi was so disgusted by Jia Shi's ugly face that she almost spat on her face.

Baocui Tower, Nishang Pavilion, and several Zhuangzi outside the city were Shen Huan's dowry, but they actually belonged to what Jia Shi said, and she completely wrote on her face that I will bully you, without concealing it!

Shen Huan grabbed the nanny: "I am in the law, and the dowry of a married woman belongs to the married woman's own finances. Grandma thinks well, but don't think too well."

Jia's family didn't know a single big character, and when he heard that there was such a clause in the imperial decree, he scolded this nonsense decree all over the place.

She raised her head: "I don't know what the law is. Anyway, everything in the Chen Mansion belongs to me, and no one can take it away, otherwise I will fight her desperately."

"Get rid of these irrelevant people, and you will control the kitchen from now on, and you have to show me everything you cook and eat."

"Oh," Mrs. Jia suddenly remembered something, and said loudly, "The old lady and the old lady are deeply in love with each other, and they are heartbroken. I'm afraid I don't have much appetite these days, so I don't need to cook at Minghuitang."

Jia Shi, who has always been a virtuous and virtuous person, showed his true colors, which caught everyone in the kitchen by surprise.

Her servants got the order and pushed Qin Zhong and others out.

Those bastards of hers got her true biography, immediately carried out her order, and said to Shen Huan with spread hands: "Old lady, you heard what Grandma said, unless you can't cook Minghuitang's food these days, you should go back , when you have an appetite, we will make it for you."

Jia Shi was overjoyed at the side, and deliberately walked up to Shen Huan: "Old lady, please take good care of yourself, Minghui Hall is such a spacious place, don't change hands once in a while."

Saying that, she bumped Shen Huan heavily with her shoulder, twisted her body and went out.

Wu Shi and Qingzi turned pale with anger, Shen Huan waved to them and took them out.

Qin Zhong and the others who were kicked out of the kitchen hadn't left yet. When they saw Shen Huan, they came up to them: "Madam, you should think of a way. According to Grandma's method, the Chen family will fall apart in a few years."

Shen Huan looked at the dozen or so people who were with Qin Zhong: "Are you all the children of the Chen family?"

Unexpectedly he would ask this, Qin Zhong was stunned for a moment: "Yes, the young ones are all the children of the Chen family, and they were sold to the Chen family along with the Chen family."

"Then do you want to regain your freedom?"

"..."

"Madam..." Qin Zhong's voice was trembling.

Think, why don't you think, don't look at these people with all hands and feet, but in their own eyes, they are crippled people who lack something.

When you become a slave, not only do you have to be an ox and a horse for others, but your son and daughter are also in the service of others. The master will beat and kill the government and will not care.

Shen Huan said: "Call anyone who you can trust and wants to regain freedom, and come to the main courtyard tomorrow."

"Yes, thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am."

Qin Zhong and the others were full of energy in an instant, and they walked vigorously.

After they left, Shen Huan said to Wu: "Nurse, you can quietly go to Minghui Hall later. On the bottom floor of Duobao Pavilion next to my bed, there is a box with a small copper lock on Ruyi gourd. You can take it out." , to the coffin.”

"Ma'am, what would you like to do?"

Shen Huan looked at the square Chen Mansion, and at the foggy sky with fine snow falling: "Once the Jia family gains power, they will never let Minghui Hall go, I think... I'm afraid it's not good... ..."

"Ma'am!" Wu's heart trembled, "Let's go, take advantage of the chaos in the mansion, run outside and hide first, and make a long-term plan."

"Since she dared to blatantly say those words in front of me, she must have been prepared. I'm afraid we will be arrested before we leave the gate of the Chen residence."

"Besides, Chen Fangyue's body is still not cold, and she ran out just to let her pour dirty water on us casually, and we can't argue against it."

"Then what to do!" Wu Shi has never been so panicked.

Haruko was also bewildered, holding Shen Huan tightly, fearing that he would disappear in the next second.

Shen Huan said: "We want to make the Chen residence a little more chaotic."

Come hungry, leave hungry, Shen Huan's stomach growled as she walked.

And the hungrier the stomach, the colder the body, and the shoes and socks were soaked in the snow water because of the long-term walking, and the heart was cold.

Shen Huan was thinking about Chen Shi, and went to their yard to look for Yan Shi. As soon as she reached the gate of the courtyard, the chubby Yan suddenly stretched out her hand from the door and pulled her in: "Why are your hands so cold? I heard that Jia Shi I went to the kitchen and bumped into you, so I didn’t get hurt anywhere.”

As she spoke, she looked at Shen Huan, her face on her hands and her neck, and she looked around before taking a deep breath.

Haruko held back all the way, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, and began to cry with her mouth covered.

Yan Shi pulled them into the room: "Come in and warm up, Cui Cui, make three bowls of honey lotus root noodles, and heat up the rice and vegetables."

She squeezed Shen Huan's cold hand: "Ma'am, don't blame me for not helping you, it's really... well, my sister-in-law is completely changed now. You were watching the night in the coffin shed last night. I don't know if she came out of the main courtyard. She took people around the mansion and arranged for her own people to replace the original old man, and those who were a bit tougher were tied up and sold by her on the spot."

"I heard that there was a little girl who was given a hairpin by her elder brother because of her good looks, and she had someone... thrown into a well and drowned."

"Actually, that little girl doesn't want to follow the eldest brother at all. She has already made a marriage contract with a young man in the mansion, and she will get married when she is a year old. What a crime."

Yan's heart is soft, and he broke out in a sweat when he heard the people below, so he stayed in the mansion all day today, and did not allow the people in the courtyard to go out and run around.

Cui Cui served lotus root powder with honey, lotus root powder with honey, and then boiled with hot water, it was very sweet.

Shen Huan took a bowl and ate while blowing. Suddenly he called Yan Shi: "Do you have a pen and paper here?"

Yan Shi thought he was going to do something, said: "Yes, but I don't use it often, I don't know if it's okay."

There is no boy in the second room, and Chen Shi doesn't like to read books, so he bought pens and paper just for show.

She quickly fetched it and asked Shen Huan, "What does Madam want to write?"

Shen Huan said, "Write two letters."
