Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

Well, I was reluctant to let any sister come and suffer. I didn't expect Madam to take pity on me and send me a helper after all, which made me embarrassed. "

With that said, Chunhong has been let into the hall, and Ying'er has been greeted and served with tea.He took her hand and asked her age and hometown with a smile, only to realize that this girl had been the messenger of the Chai family for several lifetimes, and she had some face.

Na Chunhong looked at the half-new and not old main room, the utensils used in it were all rough and half-old, and the tea served was also foam that she usually disdained to drink, not to mention comparing with the things in the wife's room, it was Compared with his own family, he is also a bit inferior, so he dilutes the joy of being a master by a lot.

I also remembered that when I returned home during the Chinese New Year, I heard my mother say that several shopkeepers outside the Chai family wanted to get married, and they were also modest couples. I didn't expect my wife to send me to this poor land to be a concubine. Wouldn't it be a lifetime? No more bright days?

Pan Jinlian saw that the mournful look on her face became more and more apparent, she was secretly happy, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and began to cry:

"My sister also looked at our house. There is only one hall and one room with one entrance and one exit, and two wing rooms next to it. The house is narrow and in disrepair. How can I have the heart to let someone like my sister live in the same room with Yinger? Cold? It would be even more inappropriate to put my sister in the warehouse, where there are many piles of things, no stove, and even such a big mouse."

"Since my wife ordered me to come and serve my wife, I will naturally follow my lady's arrangement, and I will do whatever my wife says is appropriate."

Where did Chunhong go through such suffering, but she dared not utter the intention of retreating because of the face of Mrs. Chai's family.Pan Jinlian heard that she no longer wanted to "serve" her husband with all her heart, so she stopped being intimidating and said her idea:

"Elder sister was sent from Madam's room, how could she suffer with us, but if elder sister came back immediately, it would hurt Madam's face, and it would also damage my reputation and my reputation, so I thought about it." The way. The rear of the courtyard is a side room for the women in charge. The house is spacious, and everything in it is not much different from the house of the master above. It is better to let them separate the house. My sister spends the day with her in the yard I will be your companion, I will go there in the evening, and tell my wife that it is only an expedient measure. I will make proper arrangements after a few days or build a house or move the house. At that time, I will find someone to persuade my wife slowly. When Madam changes her mind, sister will naturally be able to go back."

"It's just that my sister is suffering here, but I moved to that good place. How can I live in my heart?"

Chunhong's heart moved slightly, but she still wanted to say a few words of resignation.He glanced at Ying'er standing at the door again, and felt his face sink. She was also a first-class girl in the madam's house, how could she live in the same room with such a rough girl, and let the old sisters Look at the mouth and don't know how to derogate and spoil it, but it's better to go with the flow, not to mention that the wife didn't expressly say that she wants to make a side house for the fifth master of the Chai family. My wife can't bear it, so naturally she can go outside to find her own results.

Having made up her mind, Chunhong just declined for a moment and then agreed, and said with a smile:

"Although this matter is my sister's pity, I just need my sister to tell my wife in person, otherwise people will think that I can't bear the pain by picking and choosing, which is not good."

Pan Jinlian raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, her heart turned a few times, and she agreed:

"Of course, it was my idea. Of course, I went to tell my wife. It's getting late today. My sister is staying on the small kang in the middle of my house for the time being. I asked Ying'er to bring a new bed over there, but there is no stove in there." Long, I have wronged my sister for the time being."

After finishing speaking, she asked Ying'er to open the wing room and take out the new bedding to dry in the yard, and then personally took out her Tang Pozi and sent it to Chunhong:

"The life at home is tight, and there is nothing extra no matter what. This is what I usually use. If my sister doesn't dislike it, she can use it."

That Chunhong looked at a small bed in the partition, but there were gusts of drafts, and there was nothing to use inside, so she could only grit her teeth and respond:

"Sister, don't worry about it. I think it's fine here. My wife also spends the night in her room on weekdays. I'm used to sleeping."

Seeing her like this, Pan Jinlian smiled to herself, and while she was resting, she went back to the cupboard in her room and picked out a pink embroidered dress, changed it and waited for Chai Wu to come back.

Ever since he found out that he was pregnant, Chai Wu came back to this small courtyard early every day, humming a singer while picking up some food and playthings he got from somewhere, with a rather dandy attitude.

The sun was in the west, and Pan Jinlian was sitting in front of the window watching Ying'er carry the bedding with blue background and white flowers into Chunhong's cubicle, when the door creaked, it turned out that Chai Wu had come back.So he hurriedly got up and greeted him into the house, brought over a bowl of hot tea from the stove, and asked with a smile:

"Why, it's so early today?"

"It's the off-season for doing business now, and there are some messy things happening at home, so I just pretend to be in the shop every day, who will seriously sell the goods." Chai Wu took off his big clothes, put his hands on Going to the stove to keep warm, he stared at Pan Jinlian, "Why did you think of taking out this dress today, I remember you don't like red."

Pan Jinlian smiled slightly, rubbed her stomach and said softly:

"People say that scholars die for those who know their confidants, and women are for those who please themselves. I am afraid that no one will care to look at me as a village woman in the future, so I wear the best clothes, so that I will let it go for nothing when the time comes." Pressed under the box to grow mold."

When Chai Wu heard that this was wrong, he hurriedly stood up and said seriously.

"What do you mean by that? Why do you suddenly feel contemptuous and self-deprecating, but is someone bullying you?"

"Of course no one bullies me. On the contrary, my wife loves me very much. Seeing that I am not in good health, I sent a first-class girl from her own house here. Mingli said that she was helping me with housework, but we have everything to eat, drink and live." It’s the family’s supply, where there is need to take care of anything, I’m thinking maybe Madam intends to give you a concubine room.”

Pan Jinlian wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief while talking, crying and laughing,

"It stands to reason that I should be happy. It's just that you and I have been together for so long, and you also know that I will never play tricks on both sides. My heart, this heart is also sour and unbearable..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chai Wu had already come over to help her sit on the chair:

"Why are you bothering? You and I are in harmony, and now we have a child again. I don't have the heart to take any concubines. Besides, how expensive are the maids in the wife's room, even the young ladies of ordinary families are not so pampered." Yes, I can't bear this kind of talent, don't worry, I'll go back to my wife and let her take him back or marry him outside or stay by her side to serve, as long as she doesn't stay in this yard That's all."

Speaking of this, Chai Wu frowned, the wife of the Chai family didn't care about it all these years, even the nanny found a fault and kicked her out of the house when she was five years old, how could she be merciful at this time? On the contrary, it makes people feel dishonest.

Pan Jinlian wiped away the tears that she didn't have, and also felt that it was strange, but just happened to take advantage of this Dongfeng to discuss a public case, so she couldn't help but tugged at Chai Wu's sleeve to change the subject:

"What's the situation outside? You should have thought about who should give this recipe for wine making. I think it's over soon, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Well, I've been thinking about it recently. It's better to leave it to the young master. For one thing, the elder brother is the eldest son of the eldest son, and it's justifiable to take charge of the family business in the future. Why should I make him feel uncomfortable? Besides, the second young master looks at the elegant But I see him as a mean and ungrateful person who actually kicked out an old man who has been in the shop for decades during the Chinese New Year. He will definitely not be able to take advantage of us in the future, and it would be bad if he bites back."

Seeing Pan Jinlian's smiling face, Chai Wu sat down on the chair opposite her in peace, and said slowly while holding the tea.Pan Jinlian didn't know the temperament of the two young masters of the Chai family who had never been masked. Seeing what he said, she also felt that although Chai Wang was mean, she was honest and straightforward, and did not have the kindness of Chai Lin, so she nodded laughed:

"That being said, it's just that you two are working under your command now, and you can't make a bias. It's better to let this matter out of me. Anyway, the prescription is also my dowry. Wouldn't it be better for me to send it out from the back house? "

Chai Wu thought for a long time, and nodded in agreement.

47 Acting

As the two talked, it was time for dinner.

Pan Jinlian raised the curtain to let Ying'er lead Chunhong in and show it to Chai Wu. Seeing that there was no complacency on his face, she couldn't help but nodded inwardly.

That Chunhong also met Chai Wu when she followed Mrs. Chai's family, but they were all in a big room surrounded by maids and daughters-in-law. Today, there are only four people in the main room, and it is very quiet, and there is a faint light in the window. , shone on the chiseled flower ground, reflecting mottled shadows, I couldn't help but jump suddenly, and took a sneak look at Chai Wu, with a hint of shyness and charm between the corners of the eyes and the brows.

Seeing this charming girl lost her composure for a while, before Pan Jinlian could speak, Ying'er had already quietly punched her on the back with an elbow, Chunhong hurriedly came back and said a blessing, and said with a soft smile:

"The slave family has seen the fifth master."

Chai Wu nodded, looked at her a few times, coughed and replied:

"Since she is the girl in Madam's room, she is naturally smart. If you come to me, Madam and I will not treat you badly. It's just that this yard is no worse than Madam's. You just need to remember
