Chapter 47
"What about you, sister? Were you also assigned to Liao'eyuan?" Shen Jiao asked.
Jin Yu said, "Me? No, I was assigned here by the steward. I was originally serving Du Xiaoniang, but she later died of illness, so I came here."
Then another person named Du showed up.
"Didn't this Miss Du give birth to a son?"
"It would have been nice if she had, but unfortunately she was so unlucky and died before she could give birth."
"That's a shame."
If she had a child, Jin Yu would be taking care of the child now, and Xue Shun would have no chance to do anything.
Shen Jiao said something along the lines of this, but still couldn't tell which of these girls was which, and was too lazy to try.
"Speaking of the young ladies in the village, I suddenly remembered, sister, I saw that the lady also had several gentlemen around her. Who were they?"
"That's the mistress's concubine."
Shen Jiao: It is indeed so!
Speaking of this, she became excited.
"It seems the owner and his wife haven't separated. They're actually willing to do that?"
"Of course I don't want to, so don't say anything when you go out. Those people are just guards to the outside world." Jin Yu warned very seriously.
Shen Jiao nodded: "No wonder I haven't heard any rumors."
Well, no wonder, this Fairy Liuyun Luo Wendi has disappeared from the world since she got married. Outsiders only say that she lives a secluded life, taking care of her husband and children at home. Most men praise her as a role model for women, and women can't help sighing. Who would have thought that she is still living such a carefree and happy life.
Shen Jiao was quite envious, but Jin Yu felt it was a pity: "I heard that the Madam was not like this in the early years. She was married to the owner of the manor for many years but still had no children. The old owner and the old Madam were a little anxious and gave the owner two concubines. The Madam was very unhappy and found two husbands for herself. The owner was reluctant at first, but the Madam wanted to divorce him. The owner was deeply in love with her and naturally did not want to, so it ended up like this.
If the owner hadn't taken in those two concubines in the first place, perhaps things wouldn't have ended like this. They would still be a perfect couple, instead of being in such a mess."
Hearing her say this, Shen Jiao also felt it was a pity: "If Madam had simply divorced the owner of the manor at the beginning, wouldn't she be happier now..."
"Perhaps they still have feelings for each other," Jin Yu said excitedly. "Besides, the owner and his wife are both geniuses of their generation. They are children of the underworld and do what they want without being fussy about trivial matters."
She smiled and winked.
Shen Jiao nodded: "Sister, what you said makes sense."
Do whatever makes you happy. There's nothing wrong with being romantic and amorous. If this kind of thing gets out, I wonder how much joy it will bring to everyone.
The storytellers, opera singers, and writers of vernacular novels have often sung stories about Xue Wuliang's romantic affairs. The stories of Luo Wendi and his suitors have also been rewritten over and over again, and they still sell very well.
What surprised Shen Jiao was, "Looking at the Madam's behavior, she doesn't seem like someone willing to be trapped in the harem. Why hasn't she gone out since getting married? Is it because the owner of the manor forbids it?"
"Of course not," Jin Yu glanced around and whispered, "Madam not only doesn't go out, she also doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the manor. It was fine in the early years, but now, in her pursuit of eternal youth, she's been practicing the art of harmonizing yin and yang, and has become increasingly obsessed with lust. She spends her days drinking and having fun with those young men, leaving all the work to the young masters and their subordinates. She doesn't see anyone unless it's absolutely necessary, or she pushes it onto the manor owner. Haven't you seen how tired the manor owner looks? He could be Madam's father."
No wonder Xue Shun called him old man.
"True love."
"Of course. There are rumors that the next owner of Tongcai Villa might be the madam."
"Who spread this? Is it reliable?"
"It's possible. Many people have suggested it, but no one has ever stopped them. Furthermore, the owner hasn't chosen a young master yet. Instead, he's entrusted the keys to the treasury and the seal of the manor to Madam. When the owner's away, Madam handles all matters of the manor, big or small. What's the difference between this and passing it on to Madam? Just wait and see. It's either Madam or the Sixth Young Master."
She said it with great certainty.
Shen Jiao felt that both were impossible.
If I really have to choose one, my wife is more likely.
The Sixth Young Master is far different from the rumors. Unless Xue Wuliang, who is generous and generous, is also a hypocrite who does not live up to his reputation, why would he hand over the family business to such a person?
The two of them chatted all the way, and Shen Jiao still felt a little reluctant to hear enough, but unfortunately they had already arrived.
Xue Shun is still a patient who needs care, and Shen Jiao can't just sit there and do his job.
After feeding Xuan Xiao's family, he went to boil medicine.
There are fewer people in the yard now, but there is still a lot of work to do. Liangua and Yuge'er have injured their legs and swollen throats, so they can't do any work.
Only Jin Yu, Shen Jiao and Qiong Zhi were busy and somewhat tired. As soon as Jin Yu came back, he went to find a mousetrap, determined to catch those wild mice and settle the score.
Qiongzhi was sweeping the yard.
After Shen Jiao helped Xue Shun drink the medicine, she came out to help her.
I still feel a little awkward, as if the place has suddenly become empty. Although it is quiet, I can't help feeling a little lonely...
"It's time to plant some more flowers and plants."
Shen Jiao had been envious of the flowers and plants in Hechunyuan for a long time, and he kept muttering while sweeping the yard.
Qiongzhi said cheerfully, "Don't worry about it, sister. I'm afraid the young master would rather plant some cabbages. After all, he can make some money by taking them down the mountain."
"Flowers can do that, too. They're even more valuable," Shen Jiao's eyes lit up. "I often see people growing flowers and plants to sell in Huisheng Valley. If they're good varieties, they're worth a lot of money."
"But we don't know how to do that."
Qiongzhi's words were heartbreaking. Shen Jiao said with difficulty, "I can do it. I've planted it before!"
"Hmm..." Qiongzhi hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "I believe you, sister, but let's grow some vegetables. Flower seeds are more expensive than vegetable seeds, so we don't want to waste them."
She clearly doesn't believe it!
Shen Jiao only regretted that she was not in the valley now, otherwise she could go and pick up a pot and show it to her as her own!
By the way, were there any flower seeds in the luggage that her master gave her?
Shen Jiao hadn't looked at the bottles and jars carefully yet, but after a quick glance, it seemed that most of them were medicines.
When everything was almost clean, Shen Jiao walked briskly back to the house and looked around, but found nothing.
The master really didn't understand her.
All they had were some kind of muscle-growing and pain-relieving cream, life-saving purple gold pills, not even a bottle of poison. The only thing that could be used was Xiaoyao Hehuan Powder.
Thank you so much, she will need it when raising pigs in the future.
Reluctantly, he searched again, but there was nothing hidden in the clothes.
There were some beautiful jewelry in the money box, and underneath were three thousand taels of silver and a piece of paper with the words "Be a human being" written on it.
"What do you mean?"
Shen Jiao threw the paper balls aside and studied the jewelry carefully.
"No, still no!"
There's not even a sword in a hairpin, just some very beautiful jewelry.
Shen Jiao picked up a black rope necklace with an amber bead hanging from it and looked at it. She muttered, "This is the only thing that works."
She put the necklace around her neck and put away everything else.
Looking at the sky, it’s time to make medicine and cook.
