242 abnormal Song Mother
When Wei Qiwu returned to the Regent's residence, he was indignant and rendered the shameless faces of the Song family's mother and son incisively and vividly in front of Shen Qingru. Shen Qingru was calm, but the black jade on one side was extremely surprised and murmured, "look at the honest and gentle scholar. Why is his heart so cruel?"
"If Miss Mingzhu really marries this person, she will really jump into the fire pit." Wei Qiwu scolded: "the mother and son are not as good as animals. Animals still know how to be grateful. The bastard mother and son treat their fiancee and daughter-in-law who handle housework and serve their mother-in-law, and can be cruel to kill others!"
"Song Qingyun, in particular, is hypocritical and cunning. If such a person becomes an official, he doesn't know how many people will be harmed!" Wei Qiwu is afraid of song Qingyun's cunning. Princess Mingzhu is a bit unruly and domineering, but she is also a kind-hearted girl. How can she fall into the hands of this Zhongshan wolf?
"Miss, please think of a way." Wei Qiwu is so jealous of evil that he wants to kill the vicious and hypocritical mother and son himself. How could Xu Mingzhu, no matter how unruly and domineering and kind-hearted, marry such a person who is inferior to animals?
Mo Yu thought for a moment. Why don't she stab the news in front of the old lady and tell her the true face of song Qingyun?
Shen Qingru thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "it's inappropriate. If you say it directly, I'm afraid it will hurt the old lady's love for Mingzhu. You'd better find another way. “
Mo Yu thought it was true. Xu Mingzhu was very dissatisfied with the blind date. If Xu Mingzhu knew that song Qingyun was such a bastard inferior to animals, I'm afraid she would have a grudge against the old princess. She still had to think of a way to have the best of both worlds,
It's better for him to expose his hypocritical and cunning nature than the coyote himself, so that the old princess can retreat.
”Does that wanniang know what her fiance and mother-in-law did? "Shen Qingru asked.
”I don't know. "Wei Qiwu said angrily, if he knew, how could he let the damned old woman drive him to practice like a slave! He saw with his own eyes wanniang's hard-working, virtuous and virtuous virtue, and his anger at the behavior of the animal mother and son who lost all their conscience and intended to murder her.
"Then tell her and let her know." Shen Qingru said faintly. Wei Qiwu was stunned and asked, "what do you mean..."
"Go tell wanniang, tell her that her fiance and mother-in-law intend to murder her, and see how wanniang will react. It's better for wanniang to expose song Qingyun's ugly face."
Shen Qingru also feels aggrieved for the poor wanniang. Wanniang works tirelessly to serve song's mother and take care of song Qingyun. Over the years, she has tried her best. The beast mother and son are ungrateful and intend to murder her. Wanniang should avenge her.
"But that wanniang is gentle and cowardly... Even if she knows that the servant is afraid of her, she just secretly cries, or makes a small quarrel with song Qingyun, which doesn't work..." Wei Qiwu thinks that wanniang's gentle nature is really deadly.
"Her so-called tenderness and cowardice is just because she loves song Qingyun very much, but once she knows song Qingyun's betrayal, Wan Niang will wake up from this love." Shen Qingru smiled.
The next day, Wan Niang got up early in the morning and wanted to pick up some fresh vegetables on the street of Nancheng vegetable market and buy a few kilograms of fresh ribs for song Qingyun to stew. Qingyun often read late at night in order to prepare for the palace exam. Wan Niang looked very distressed and wanted to buy some delicious things to make song Qingyun healthy.
"Qingyun likes to eat fresh Hericium erinaceus and live fish eyes." Wan Niang plans to turn around for a while and go to the cake shop that is quite a distance from the Nancheng food market. The Longfeng Jintuan crisp in that cake shop is her mother-in-law's favorite, but it's a pity that it was sold out as soon as it came out. She got up early in the morning to grab some Longfeng Jintuan crisp and bring it back to her mother-in-law to eat.
The price that the mother and son like to eat is not cheap, but Wan's mother would rather save herself, and also want song Qingyun and her mother-in-law to eat better.
To Wan Niang's surprise, her mother-in-law, who always slept until the morning, got up early today and smiled at Wan Niang's busy East and West. Wan Niang was annoyed by her kind smile. Her mother-in-law suddenly became much better to herself since yesterday, but this "good" always made Wan Niang feel uneasy. She always felt that her mother-in-law and Qingyun seemed to hide something about herself.
"Mom, what else do you want to eat besides the dragon and Phoenix golden dumpling?" Wan Niang calculated the silver in her hand and thought she could bring back some other cakes, such as pea yellow, mung bean cake and gold and silver cake, which her mother-in-law always likes to eat.
"No, no, good boy, your filial mother took it, and she didn't want to eat any Longfeng Jintuan crisp..." the pastry shop selling Longfeng Jintuan crisp was in Nancheng, and song's mother naturally didn't want Wan Niang to buy vegetables in Nancheng.
"Children, Dongcheng's food is fresh and cheap. Go to Dongcheng to buy food today." Song's mother said with a smile.
Wan Niang was stunned. The east city was more than 20 miles away from here. Even if she went and came back soon, it was noon when she came back: "Niang, the east city is so far from here..."
Seeing her reluctant appearance, song's mother elongated her face in an instant: "why? You don't listen to me? Is this the courtesy that a daughter-in-law should have? Isn't it because your wings are hard and I, a mother-in-law, can't control you?"
"Niang, I didn't..." Wan Niang's words were very weak in front of the fierce song mother.
"It's just asking you to take a few more steps to buy fresh and cheap dishes. You're reluctant! Do you dislike this family and my son has no money! You're a dead girl who dislikes poverty and loves wealth, get out of my song family as soon as possible!" Mrs. song scolded, sitting on the ground. She practiced the unique skill of crying and scolding in the market well in her early years. Ordinary market women are not her opponent, let alone gentle and virtuous, Honest wanniang?
If Wan Niang was really scolded by her, it would save her the trouble to kill Wan Niang. Song's mother secretly expected Wan Niang to be scolded. She couldn't stand leaving the Song family.
But wan Niang just lowered her head and her eyes were slightly red. She didn't even dare to cry. If she cried out, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would shout herself to curse her death.
"Niang, I'm going to Dongcheng now..." pure Wan Niang didn't know that Dongcheng had become a place with a high incidence of plague in the capital. She meekly agreed to song's mother's powerless request: "it's just Niang, Dongcheng is more than 20 miles away from home. It takes a lot of time this time. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to cook for my Niang..."
Upon hearing Wan Niang's promise, song's mother was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "it's okay, it's okay, I'll deal with it myself. Don't hurry to come back. Stay in the east city for more time, play more for a while, and come back after dinner."
Song's mother really wanted Wan Niang to catch the plague in the east city. She had better never come back.
Wan Niang only felt that her mother-in-law's attitude today was really strange, but she could only get up and leave with a vegetable basket according to her words. Before leaving, she didn't forget to remind song's mother that there were two meat dishes in her small and medium-sized kitchen. Song's mother could eat when she was hot at noon.
She is reluctant to eat meat, but song's mother and song Qingyun are all happy with meat. The family spends a lot of money on eating every month. Although Wan Niang calculated carefully, she could not save any silver in her hand. Song Qingyun is a scholar. He can't do anything except reading. Since Song's mother came to the capital, she regarded herself as an old Fengjun. Wan Niang waited on everything and didn't do any work. In fact, the family didn't make any money. She only earned some copper by embroidery work.
The copper that can be earned is far from enough to spend. Song Qingyun needs the best Langhao pen to write. One is one or two silver. Song Qingyun bought more than a dozen and put them on the pen wash. Rice paper should be made in Huzhou. The price of a thin stack is equal to the embroidery she embroidered all day. Song Qingyun was angry with her twice about the inkstone. She had no choice but to buy it for him. The inkstone was so expensive that it was worth the food money of their family for three months. She couldn't bear it. But song Qingyun couldn't let go of the inkstone and insisted on buying it. Wan Niang also bit her teeth and bought it.
Her mother-in-law is also right. If the dishes in the east city are really cheaper than those in the South City, she would rather go far and save these copper coins.
Wan Niang walked for a long time and walked for two and a half hours before she came to Dongcheng vegetable market street. At this time, the hot sun was in the sky, and it was the hottest time of the day. Wan Niang who came on foot was also sweating. Wan Niang carefully wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve. After walking for so long, her mouth was thirsty. Next to her, there was a big bowl of tea seller, two copper plates and one bowl, which used the tea made by Gaomo leaves to quench the thirst and relieve the summer heat of poor people doing physical work. Wan Niang stood there and looked for a long time. Finally, she was not willing to buy a bowl to moisten her thirsty throat.
Two copper coins, buy a handful of fresh vegetables and add a small piece of meat, which is a meal for the whole family.
Wan Niang left the tea shed and walked to the vegetable market, but she felt more and more strange. The dishes in Dongcheng food market are cheap. There should be a lot of people. Why can't you see anyone in such a big street? There were many beggars lying on both sides of the street. Wan Niang looked intently. All these beggars were sallow and dying. They looked like they had some strange disease. The beggars looked at her with a faint trace of greed. Wanniang subconsciously covered the cotton bag with copper plates in her hand and wanted to leave the place quickly.
Behind her, she was suddenly hugged by a man. Wan Niang stared in horror. The hands stuck on her neck were as thin as firewood. There were maggots and fleas crawling on it, emitting a stench. She was one of the beggars!
"Give me your money!" the beggar's voice was weak, but the chicken claw like hands were stuck on WAN Niang's neck, and WAN Niang was almost out of breath.
