Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

The two stoves are burning with vigorous charcoal fire.

"Sit down quickly, I don't have anything to entertain here, there are some southern fruits that the second master just brought back, Ning Hong will bring them over."

"Young Madam, you are being polite. I wanted to come over to take a look, but I was afraid of disturbing my recovery. I didn't expect my girl to be so ignorant today. She should have picked up the jewelry of the Young Madam and returned it. She even begged the Young Madam. I came here specially to look at the young lady's illness, and I also thank you."

A little girl dressed in peach red hurriedly took her foot and stepped over. Pan Jinlian sat next to Chai Lin and asked her about her diet and daily life carefully with a smile. Chai Lin also had a plain face and didn't wear makeup. , it was a little more weak, pulled Pan Jinlian to say a few words slowly, and heard her close girl Dicui shout outside:

"Auntie, there are guests in our young lady's room, please don't go in, hey..."

Before she finished speaking, Pan Jinlian saw several women had come in outside, all of them were dressed in red and green, incomparably brilliant.The one at the head, look, this is the concubine of Chai Ming, the second youngest of the Chai family, called Lin Xi'er. He helped the girl in and said loudly with a smile:

"I just came here to see the patient, so I'm still waiting. But this person, oh, isn't this the wife of Chai Wu's family who has just passed through the door? She also came here to join in the fun. If you want to ask for money and things? I want to go to the First Young Madam to please, our second room is in the Qingshui yamen, only the smell of medicine fills the room."

Saying that, she went straight to Chai Lin's and said a deep blessing. The girl behind her also hurriedly put down the stool in her hand and helped Lin Xi'er to sit down. Lin Xi'er didn't wait for the two of them to talk, Then he said again:

"Sister, forgive me. I'm pregnant here. It's the second master who said that he should be careful no matter where he goes. He also specially brought a lot of supplements to my house. He said that my sister is weak. After so many years, I can't bear it." I can't have a child, but I finally got one, and I just need to cultivate well."

"Exactly, since you know it yourself, you should pay attention to it every day. My room is full of sickness, which is not where you came from. Are you girls who follow my aunt dead? See her here Why don't you rush to persuade her to come here, and let her come here, do I have to worry about finding someone to teach me?"

Chai Lin started coughing and gasping for breath, Di Cui and Ning Hong hurriedly patted their backs, and the other came over to serve them with handkerchiefs and a spit box, but Chai Lin just pushed them away, Holding a white silk handkerchief, pointing to Lin Xi'er, she said:

"Come here, send my aunt back to her yard, and then tell the housekeeper and mother-in-law outside the corner gate to give me [-] boards and punish all the girls who came with my aunt today to get a few winks and heartless girls. One month's money."

"Sister, this is too much, I just came to check on your illness..."

Lin Xi'er's face was flushed, and she came here with the courage to hope that she could wipe out the prestige of the Chai Lin family at this time, and then she could have a prosperous life in the Chai family with her mother and son, but she didn't expect that on weekdays Chai Lin, who is weak and weak, is so vicious, but he does everything seamlessly, so that he can't find any mistakes, so he hurriedly tried to persuade him.The girls behind her also fell to their knees and kowtowed, shouting and begging for mercy.

Pan Jinlian was inconvenient to make a sound, and was thinking about how to get away. Chai Lin had already coughed a few more times, took a sip of hot chrysanthemum white pear soup, and said with a sneer with a pretty face:

"You servants also see people ordering dishes. Seeing that my aunt and I are easy to bully, you all neglected it. If it is normal, it's fine, but now my aunt is pregnant, and the second master and I are husband and wife , his child is my child, can I still tolerate you being so presumptuous? Auntie don't care about this matter, it's important to go back to raise the baby, and I will explain it to him when the second master comes back, presumably he I don’t care about these little things.”

Lin Xi'er sobbed for a while, lowered her head and thought for a while, afraid that she would be at a disadvantage if there was a disturbance, so she stopped talking, and just walked out surrounded by girls.The housekeeper's wives and wives had long seen that the girls in each room were not pleasing to the eye, and they refused to let go of the opportunity. When they left the yard, they all pressed and beat each other, crying and screaming for a while, but they left It's too far to pass to the back room.

That Chai Lin slowly regained his composure, drank a few mouthfuls of soup before smiling and said to Pan Jinlian:

"I'm laughing at you. Ever since I got sick, I've been disorganized in this house. My aunt is young and has never seen the world, so she can't help her servants, so I have to earn my own life."

Pan Jinlian saw that her face didn't change color, she was used to it, so she couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive. Thinking about this woman, it was not easy. Her husband took a concubine and was pregnant with a child. With a smiling face, if I had thought of a way to deal with the adulterer and whore, I just shouldn't vent my anger on innocent people.

After chatting with her for half a day, Pan Jinlian saw that it was getting late outside, so she hurriedly got up to say goodbye. Mrs. Chai Lin was about to take her medicine, so she didn't stay behind, but she didn't say what she wanted, just took her hand Yin Yin asked her to come here often.Pan Jinlian agreed one by one, and walked out of the yard muttering to herself, the so-called courtship for nothing, rape or robbery, this Chai Lin seems to be not a good person, what does she want?

When he slowly returned to his own yard, the lamps were already lit, and Chai Wu was sitting at the table drinking tea. This man did not consider himself a gentleman, but he absolutely refused to be a cook.Shaking her head, Pan Jinlian went into the yard, closed the door, and went to the small kitchen to have a look. There were still a lot of leftovers in it, which is probably the case for people who are able to pass the new year, so she made an egg soup , scalded the noodles to make small round pancakes, cut the scallions into thin shreds, and heated the remaining meat like eating roast duck, put them in a box, and brought them into the house.Seeing her coming in, Na Chai Wu hurriedly smiled and said:

"Where did you go, I'm worried."

"It's just a stroll in the courtyard, I can't get out of the Chai family. The second young lady's wife is sick, so I have to go and see it. I just watched another play by chance, so I came back late." Pan Jinlian put the box away. Put it on the table, looked back, but didn't see Ying'er, "This girl is getting more and more wild, why hasn't she come back now."

"She came back early, but she was very hungry. She made a bowl of rice in the kitchen, ate it with pickles, and then ran out to find someone to play with. You still care about me. Could it be that I am not as good as that little girl? ?”

Chai Wu pretended to be angry, wrapped Pan Jinlian in his arms, and breathed into her ear:

"But do you know what I did today?"

"It's just for New Year's greetings, it smells like wine."

"That's really wronged me. I rode a horse for half a day before I arrived at the village to settle the accounts with the shopkeeper of the winery. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I signed the contract and took it to the government. We will soon have business man."

Chai Wu was happy with what she said, and Pan Jinlian couldn't help laughing. She pushed his heavy body and slapped her hands. Sleeping with it turned out to be more and more pestering.

"Exactly, my husband has worked hard. Now that you have drunk, go to the back room to rest. When I finish eating, come over and serve you to wash up, okay?"

Even after drinking the wine, Chai Wu knew how to feel sorry for others, so he dragged Pan Jinlian to sit at the table together, seeing her finish eating, he stood up dizzily:

"I'll pour you some tea, where is the teacup?"

Pan Jinlian sighed hastily, helped him to lie down in the inner room, turned around and came back to pack his things, boiled a pot of hot water for him to clean his face and hands, Yinger ran back after playing enough, saw Pan Jinlian hurriedly lowered her head to face her room, her face was ashamed and she didn't dare to look here.Pan Jinlian stared, the little girl stopped immediately, and said with a smile:

"The lady is back?"

"It's not that I'm back, I'm sweeping the couch to greet you, waiting for you to come back, Miss Ying'er. Although it can't be too outrageous during the New Year's Eve, there are so many idle people in the kitchen, and the servants will all join in... ..."

"Miss, I know I was wrong, but today is the birthday of the ugly boy in the kitchen, and he brought me to eat boiled eggs. From now on, I will definitely come back before lighting the lamps. If I don't come back, I will kneel on the porcelain bowl."

Ying'er also saw that Pan Jinlian was only impatient, and immediately raised her head and swore.It's Chinese New Year, Pan Jinlian didn't want to bother with her, seeing what she said, she asked her to take the leftover cakes and vegetables to eat in her room.Seeing that the family was all together, he also locked the door, tightened his coat, went back to the house, and forked the door.

When he went to the back room, Chai Wu was already lying on the bed and was fast asleep. Pan Jinlian took a light step, turned on the light and got on the bed, but she didn't want him to catch him.

"Tell me about what good show you watched today?"

Pan Jinlian was startled, turned around and faced Shang Chai Wuliang's shining eyes, quickly raised her hand to pat him, and said angrily:

"I'm going to die, I'm scared to death. Are you drunk or not?"

Chai Wu just chuckled and didn't answer, just laying down with Pan Jinlian and talking.Pan Jinlian couldn't hold him back, so she had to say a few words about the mess in Chailin's house, and finally sighed:

"It's just men doing evil, women suffering, or only one woman in the family is quiet."

"That's right, it's just that a woman also has a woman's difficulty, for example..." Chai Wu turned over and even pressed the quilt on Pan Jinlian's body, his eyes were crescent-like, "We should also give birth to a child." have a child
