Chapter 13 Mountain Rain is coming
The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind will fill the building.
In the past few days, my wife officially moved out of the Buddhist hall.
Situ Mansion suddenly became lively. There are a lot of officials and wives who have been sent. There are flowery smiles on their faces - I have never seen my wife treat people so attentively. Sometimes, she also goes out to socialize and takes a few concubines with her - my aunt is so talented that she often takes them with her. This is a scene I can't see in Situ Mansion.
For a long time, the exchange between our Situ Mansion and the large households in Lingyun City has been limited to giving gifts during festivals. There is no relationship between women at all. Our wife is the most innocent person. How can she be willing to spend time on such socializing? But when those official wives and rich wives got together, I found that our wives were not left behind at all. Those people, who scrambled to hold her hand intimately, were not unfamiliar at all. In the past, I took care of the money at home, but no one welcomed me so warmly.
"Mrsitu's complexion is getting better and better." A wife with fat waist laughed. Her father-in-law is a salt merchant, not a local from Lingyun City. He has only settled down in recent years.
"Mrs. Situ was known as the first beauty in Lingyun City before. Compared with Mrs. Situ, what are we? A thin lady covered her mouth and smiled. I took a closer look and found that this was the eldest wife of the Liu family, but the fourth aunt's sister-in-law. The Liu family has ruled Lingyun City for many years and has become a force. The eldest wife of the Liu family also trembled, and this place was going to shock three points. It's sour to say such words.
I went to see the fourth aunt who came with me, but I saw that she looked reluctant. This trace of displeasure is very vague. But she was seen by the burning aunt - I think that she was also an ambitious concubine at home in those years, otherwise how could she marry someone as a concubine as an official lady? What about your concubine? So what if Situ wants to do something? It can't change the fact that her identity has plummeted. In addition, this big event is dangerous, and it is hard to say whether she has a life to enjoy wealth...
In such a thing, it is impossible for the cherished legitimate daughter to come and wade in troubled waters. Just a family needs to sacrifice its daughter for marriage - if not, it can only be the turn of the unfavored daughter.
Therefore, I looked at the fourth aunt who was indifferent but trying to clend her fists, and I only felt funny in my heart - you go high, go high. Do you have the ability to splash in front of Mrs. Liu? Anyway, I feel that this sister-in-law has never asked for anything in front of her sister-in-law, so now that I have met her, I don't even have to ask for a basic greeting. The wife also seemed to be unaware and continued to greet others.
After that, if a few wives want to talk about things, it's not our turn to go in and listen. Like other concubines, we were kicked out and huddled at the bottom of the wall. I took a cursory look and found that there were more than 20 people. The colors are different - the most rare ones are the aunts of the Wang family, who are really ugly, but it seems that I am too red and gorgeous flowers here.
A few aunts got together and wanted to take melon seeds. Instead, Aunt Zhao of the host led us to the mansion, called the maids to get a lot of fruit, and smiled, "I'm wronged sisters. If the ladies want to talk about things, we have to get together for fun.
There is one who is the fastest, and I don't know whose aunt it is. She shouted, "Oh, sister, do you know what the wives are talking about? Bring us here, we don't know anything."
Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "How can we know about the things discussed by the ladies? The old and the young are orderly, and the nobles and the lowly are different. We are just calm. Naturally, we won't go to explore or anything.
What a powerful mouth! The questioning aunt was indeed a little embarrassed, but just covered it up: "Actually, I just heard that the Turks are going to come in. My wife is so sleepless!"
The people in the room immediately became silent, but no one picked up her words.
However, although everyone's look is faint, the sadness between their eyebrows can't be concealed.
So, are the people of the whole city talking about the coming slaughter city...
If Lingyun City becomes a dead city, what about the women who live in the beautiful pile? What about ordinary people?
What about me? And my little red and Xiaocui, the silver I hid under the pillow, and the many beautiful skirts I saved... What should I do?
Even my wife went out to socialize. This scene, whether I want to think about it or not, is always worse than I expected.
"I heard," a man with a similar face to the fifth aunt shouted in a shrill voice, "The Turks are very close to us. I heard what my father said, and my father heard what the pig slaughter father said. He said that he had something to do with leaving the city one day, and the guard of the city would not let him go out. It's not safe for him to go out. What's wrong with the blue sky and day? Father Tu kept his mind. When he kept peeking next to the city gate, he found that there were two Turks spinning not far away..."
The aunt who spoke earlier was immediately excited and found the feeling of her peers: "I'm Aunt Le of Ye Tong's family. Are you Aunt Qing? I have heard that Aunt Qing of the Gao family sings and dances, and I like it very much.
The young aunt shook her head proudly and shook off her face. Sure enough, he is the same person of the fifth aunt...
The wisdom of the working people is infinite. Even Tu's father could guess that the Turk invasion would happen sooner or later, and how many people don't know...
By the way, my aunt often visited Father Tu's meat shop before she left the cabinet. The waist there is very good...
If there is a slaughter of the city one day, where do you want to find these things?
Aunt Le is also not taboo: "Doesn't anyone want to escape? Do you want us to wait to die?"
Aunt Qing, the good aunt who sold pancakes next to the butcher, but went up against the current and tried to dance well, and said rudely, "I said that the old ladies are all. People like us have a low life and don't enjoy much happiness, but they die most easily. What about this person? What are the expectations?
These topics are a little too much. The third aunt snorted contemptuously and looked out of the window.
It is the coldest season, and the outside of the window is mostly desolate. Sometimes, I also think boringly. On such a cold day, if you want to slaughter the city, it's also very troublesome. Why don't you take good care of us and at least wait until spring comes...
No one spoke in the room. Yes, in this case, it may not spread to the ears of the head of the family immediately. It's not the second-to-extreme aunt, and she doesn't want to say such a thing... However, everyone is dying. What are you afraid of?
At that moment, I seemed to understand the psychology of Aunt Le and Aunt Qing.
No one wants to talk. But someone couldn't control it and cried "wow-" Looking carefully, it was an aunt in the corner, wearing a tight waist jacket and lowering her head. I couldn't see her eyes clearly, but I saw someone holding her and comforting her softly.
I turned my head to look at the two people beside me. Only me, the fourth aunt and the third aunt came from Situ's house.
The third aunt was too busy with melon seeds, and the fourth aunt... looked lonely and looked out of the window with an unpredictable face.
