Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

There was a miserable scream at first, and then a burst of chaotic sounds.Pan Jinlian's heart skipped a beat, she got up and was about to go out to see that Chai Wu had already held her down:

"I'll go, you can't be disturbed now that you are pregnant, or there is a room where the wives and concubines are fighting for favor."

"What do you do in the back house as a man, it attracts people's attention. I don't go out. I just let Ying'er go to inquire about the news. It's not a problem."

Pan Jinlian raised the curtain and walked out while talking, Ying'er had already run to the door with her chopsticks in her mouth, patted her chest and yelled in a low voice:

"Young lady, you scared me to death. Don't be haunted by ghosts. That dead ghost saw his man come back and complained!"

With a slight sway in her figure, Pan Jinlian suddenly remembered that today was the day that Yan Hong died for half a month, but she stopped quickly:

"Don't talk nonsense! It's easy to let you hear that it's easy to beat him to death. Forget it, you and Shuangxi have dinner quickly, let him go out quietly through the corner door, and you just locked the courtyard door for me to stay. Don't move!"

What else to ask, there must be a commotion in the yard of the second room.But Chai Wu didn't know what was involved, he just looked at it and didn't speak, and asked carefully when he returned to the house, Pan Jinlian also sighed, even if it's not good, it's human life, if you don't say it, you don't. Yes, even though I used to watch that Gongdou Zhai fighting to death in the TV novels, it is also false, if it is really a living person, I always feel a little bit trembling.

"It's just a matter of fighting for favor in the backyard. It doesn't make sense for you to listen to it. I probably say that you know it. It was difficult for the second house to have heirs. It was hard for a concubine to conceive. The second house and the couple also took good care of them. Who would have thought The concubine died when the Second Young Master left the house, and she didn't even keep the child... They must be sad."

Chai Wu is also a man, so he naturally thinks that the most important thing is to spread his branches and leaves, even if he has earned tens of thousands of wealth, who will he give it to if he has no flesh and blood?So I couldn't help feeling sorry for my second brother:

"That's right. I said that the second brother is very stingy on weekdays. I followed him these days and saw that he was willing to give money to beggars. It turned out that he was thinking of accumulating virtue for his descendants. But I didn't expect such a thing to happen. My wife is right. , it is still inconvenient for us to disturb you at this time."

No matter how much he does good deeds, as long as his wife can't give birth to a child, there probably won't be any concubine who can.Pan Jinlian knew in her heart that Yan Hong's death was strange, presumably she was not the only one, a group of women in the yard could see something, but no one said anything.

The sound outside gradually became quieter, and the gate of the yard rang softly twice. Pan Jinlian watched Ying'er send Shuangxi out from inside, then watched her lock the door, and added fire to the stove herself. The quilt has already been spread, and whoever brought it has finished washing, leaning on the bed and looking at her shadow.

"When you're tired, take a rest and just watch what I do?"

Pan Jinlian turned her head and saw that he was looking stupid, so she couldn't help but said with a smile.Chai Wu felt that the person under the lamp was indescribably beautiful, so he was stunned for a moment.After a while, he said:

"It's my good fortune to marry you."

"What a fool, what are you talking about now? Isn't it my luck to be married?"

Pan Jinlian smiled slightly, and to tell the truth, marrying him back then was also impulsive. At that time, I had just arrived in this era, and with such an identity, the dreams of those princes, princesses, concubines, and emperors' harem disappeared without a trace. How can survive.So what about my own appearance, without Wu Da and Wu Song, I was just bullied after all, so I took advantage of this opportunity to marry myself, and Chai Wu's appearance and conduct looked good, but I will be poorer in the future It's nothing at all, but I didn't expect him to be so caring.

Hearing this, Chai Wu couldn't help laughing foolishly again, thinking that tomorrow he would definitely go to the winery in the countryside, no matter how tired he was, he would earn a fortune for his wife and son.

57 waves

Pan Jinlian watched Chai Wu fall asleep after touching the pillow, with a smile on his lips, and poured hot water to wash himself.It was getting dark early in winter, and there was no nightlife in this world, and she didn't know how to do needlework, so she naturally had no reason to burn oil and wax at night, so she closed the door, blew out the lights, and lay down with him.

A night without dreams.

Early the next morning, Pan Jinlian heard the door knocking in a trance, and then slowly sat up, rubbed her eyes and listened carefully. There were a series of light footsteps in the yard, as well as deliberately suppressed conversations.

"The official and the lady haven't gotten up yet. Why did you come so early? Didn't the gatekeeper ask you?"

It was Ying'er's voice, and Shuangxi followed suit and replied:

"I came in when there was no shift change. I said hello yesterday. My father said that following the officials is no better than being at home, and don't eat and play. So he rushed me here early in the morning."

"Bah! It's just that I was afraid that you would be the one to eat alone. Your father can really calculate. Even if the officials said they wanted to eat in our yard, how could you drive people here with an empty stomach like your father? Let's see what time it is now! I still have two meat buns left here, I baked them for you, come with me!"

Pan Jinlian couldn't help laughing secretly, Ying'er became more and more soft-hearted, and she was afraid that she would be a good little wife in the future.At this time, Chai Wu also rolled his eyes, pulled her sleeve and asked

"Why are you in a daze, sitting up without putting on a piece of clothing, what should you do if you are freezing?"

"Don't move, I'm listening to the children talking, Shuangxi is here."

"he?"

Chai Wu also put on his clothes and got up, and said with a smile:

"It's hardworking. Take a rest. I asked Yinger to heat up the leftover meals yesterday. I haven't visited our small wine shop for a long time. I want to take advantage of the fine weather today. If I can It's even better to start making wine."

Seeing what he said, Pan Jinlian was naturally embarrassed to lie on the bed. She got up, put on a coat, went to the stove to get some warm water, and asked him to wash up first, but she got dressed and opened the door. The cold air rushed to the tip of her nose, causing Pan Jinlian to sneez involuntarily.

After hearing this, Ying'er hurriedly came out of her room, and said with a smile:

"My lady is awake, what shall we have for breakfast?"

"Make porridge with yesterday's rice, and add some side dishes."

That Shuangxi didn't dare to leave the house, and just stayed quietly in Ying'er's side room.Pan Jinlian personally followed Ying'er to the small kitchen and asked her to stew porridge on the stove, but she picked out a few pickled side dishes and stewed meat from various jars, and tore up the leftover chicken and ham from yesterday and threw them into the kitchen. In the porridge, water was boiled in a large pot, and the steamed buns during the Chinese New Year were served on top. The whole kitchen was filled with an aroma, which made Ying'er gulp.

"Lady, Shuangxi is here, and she's in my room."

The little girl blinked to hide her greed.Pan Jinlian nodded:

"I heard, we need to make more meals in the future. Since we are people in the yard, we should be in charge of the meals. Come and see with me after dinner to see if there is any green cloth left in the wing room. Take him and make him a new suit, I saw that he has worn it for several years, and there are still joints exposed in the trousers."

It is reasonable to say that the accountants in the shop also have money and dividends, and their lives are much better than ordinary people. How can they treat their children so harshly?Presumably there are hidden secrets in it, but it is not known to outsiders.Pan Jinlian was not interested in inquiring about other people's family affairs. Since Shuangxi followed them now, she always wanted to be clean and tidy, and she would have face when she went out to meet people.

At this time, Ying'er also came alive, and said with wide-eyed eyes:

"The lady is really kind, his old lady doesn't care about him. There are eight children in their family, except for three sisters who are married, and the rest are crowded together. Those brothers are also things that don't grow up. Read a few sentences Shu thinks he is a noble person, and can't help looking down on his own father, but he still doesn't want to go out to earn money to support his family. He only reads and writes at home every day, eats snacks and drinks wine when it's cloudy and rainy, and recites poems. The old man is also thinking strangely, for fear of his son, he only spends money every month to entertain his son who is studying, and he doesn’t care about the rest.”

Seeing her eyes wide open like a frog and her cheeks bulging, Pan Jinlian burst out laughing.Ying'er didn't understand, but she had seen it a lot. What such parents raise is not children, but the dream of glory and wealth. Whenever a son has a good future, they will definitely tremble, as if they are the ones who get rich by becoming an official.

He poked her forehead and pretended to reprimand:

"You can inquire at a young age, and you will be a tongue-twister in the future. Let me tell you, don't talk nonsense about these things in the future. If Shuangxi hears about it, I'm afraid it will make you sad, you understand."

"I just said it to my wife, and I'm not stupid."

Ying'er stuck out her tongue, took the porridge off the stove, and trotted away.Pan Jinlian also picked up the hot dry food from the cauldron to a large plate, covered it with a cotton net, and carried it to the main room. Chai Wu was already fully dressed, and was packing a muslin bag embroidered with green bamboo.

Chai Wu had handed over all the money he got to Pan Jinlian for safekeeping before going to bed yesterday, and what he had packed at this time was just some copper coins and thin account books.Seeing this, Pan Jinlian quickly laughed and said:

"If you said something earlier, I would have prepared it for you. Since you are going to start brewing wine, how can you have no money. Even if you, the new shopkeeper, just arrived there, you should give the guy some rewards."

As he spoke, he opened the cabinet, took out some silver and a few strings of newly-made large coins, stuffed them into Chai Wu's bag, thought for a while, and then said:

"I also need to take the dry food and water on the road, so as to save myself from being hungry when the time comes. I also have freshly dried meat at my place, which has just tasted good, so I just took it with me.
