Chapter 337 Have you ever thought about taking a concubine?
Shen Wan was not a stingy person, and now that she was staying at the young widow's house, she naturally gave her a big bowl.
She added a seasoning packet when stewing the mutton, and the mutton soup tasted even more delicious.
As for the staple food, it is the freshly baked white flour pancakes made by Ranqiu.
I have to say that Ranqiu’s cooking skills are very good.
She put the big pancake wrapped in ghee into the iron pan, and it was baked golden in a short while.
Sprinkle a layer of white sesame seeds on it to make it even more fragrant.
Most of the money Hu Dahai had was used to treat Li's illness, and the food for the prisoners along the way was almost back to the level when they were first exiled.
Now that they had the delicious mutton soup, they naturally ate to their heart's content, their stomachs bulging like big watermelons.
After dinner, Shen Wan went to see Li next door.
Li was seriously injured, but fortunately he received timely treatment and did not suffer any sequelae.
"Thanks to Big Girl Niang, she has been taking care of my food, drink, defecation and urination these days." Li's eyes were red and she choked up, "Honestly, if it weren't for her, I really don't know what I would do."
Shen Wan changed the medicine for her and smiled deliberately: “You should still thank Brother Hu.”
"For you, he has incurred public wrath this time."
Upon hearing this, Li lowered her head.
She is a smart person.
Although the convicts did not say it explicitly, their indifferent attitude was enough to prove their dissatisfaction.
Although the money was given by Shen Wan, if she hadn't broken her leg, Hu Dahai would definitely use the money on them.
Seeing that she was silent, Shen Wan asked, "How did you fall like this?"
Li hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.
"It's all because of Dabao!" Big Girl's mother stood aside and said angrily, "We were staying in a village and everything was fine."
"But Dabao went to steal someone's chicken in the middle of the night and was discovered by the owner."
"Dabao was afraid of being beaten, so he ran away."
"There was no moon that night, and the road was extremely difficult to walk on."
"While looking for him, my fourth sister-in-law fell down the hillside and broke her leg."
Shen Wan couldn’t help but frown slightly after hearing this.
Damn it, it’s been so long and Dabao still hasn’t changed!
"Actually... Dabao has also changed a lot." Li was afraid that Shen Wan would be angry, so she defended herself, "He has been learning calligraphy from Wang Qi recently, and he has recognized a lot more."
Seeing that she was still speaking well of Dabao, Da Niu's mother immediately became angry.
"So many words?" She sneered, "My eldest daughter can recite the Three Character Classic backwards, and Erbao has memorized the Thousand Character Classic as well."
"But Dabao, you still don't even know the first four lines of the Hundred Family Surnames."
Xie Dalang is extremely smart, and Zhao is the most scheming of the four daughters-in-law.
But these two smart people actually gave birth to a child like Dabao whose IQ is questionable.
Shen Wan thought, this is probably what is called a positive plus a negative.
"Don't spoil him too much." She thought for a moment and looked up at Li. "He should be punished when it's due."
"How about this, from now on you'll only be responsible for his daily life and food, and I'll take care of his education!"
Li hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slightly.
She knew clearly that once Dabao fell into Shen Wan's hands, he would definitely have no good days.
But she also knew that if she didn't discipline Dabao strictly, he would be ruined.
"It's getting late, you should rest first." Shen Wan thought for a moment and said, "I live next door, if you have anything, please ask someone to call me."
After hearing this, Big Girl's mother couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, if there is anything, I will come to you first."
"It's getting late, let me take you home."
It was already dark, and the snow on the road was very deep. She was afraid that Shen Wan would fall accidentally.
Chen Wan wanted to refuse, but she couldn't refuse the kindness, so she could only agree reluctantly.
Big Girl's mother held the sheep horn lantern in one hand and supported Shen Wan with the other, and the two walked out.
Rather than saying that Da Niuniang was helping Shen Wan, it would be more accurate to say that Shen Wan was helping her.
However, after taking only two steps, Big Girl's mother slipped and almost fell to the ground.
"Okay, go back quickly!" Shen Wan supported her and said quickly, "If you get hurt too, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
The big girl's mother blushed slightly.
"Then you hold the lantern." She thought for a moment and handed over the sheep-horn lantern in her hand.
Shen Wan shook her head and smiled: "No need."
"It's only a few steps away. I'll be back soon."
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Big Girl's Mother did not insist any more.
Shen Wan said goodbye to Da Niuniang and walked back in the heavy snow.
I have to say, the snow today is really heavy.
The kick went straight to the knee!
No, she must go back to the space and take a hot bath after returning, otherwise she will definitely get cold legs.
After daybreak, we will get out some cotton and cloth. There are many women among the exiles anyway, so we can let them make some cotton clothes for everyone.
If this continues, these people will definitely catch a cold.
However, this village is so poor that the villagers don’t even have yellow mud walls in their houses. They just make a fence with branches.
Whenever the wind blew, the tattered fence began to sway violently.
"Sir, why don't you come into the house?"
Suddenly, a charming female voice came to my ears.
Shen Wan frowned slightly and immediately hid to the side.
By the light of the snow on the ground, she clearly saw Xie Mubai walking out wearing a black cloak.
Needless to say, he was waiting for me.
Xie Mubai didn't say anything.
Seeing his handsome appearance, the young widow's eyes rolled around, and she walked forward with her plump waist twisting: "Who is that young lady from next door to you?"
"My wife." Xie Mubai's voice was obviously a little impatient.
He was not stupid, so he naturally saw the young widow's intention.
But the point has been made clear, so if she knows what's good for her, she should back off.
Upon hearing this, the young widow laughed and said, "Does the young master have a concubine?"
Xie Mubai didn't want to talk.
Seeing that he remained silent, the young widow came forward like a seductive snake and said, "It seems that there is none."
"Since there is none, could you please consider me, sir?"
"I was only twenty-three years old, and my husband died a few days after I got married."
"Don't look at me as a virgin, but I can serve men a hundred times better than those immature girls!"
When these words came out, not to mention Xie Mubai, even Shen Wan almost dropped her jaw in shock.
No way?
We've known each other for less than an hour, and this young widow is already offering herself to him?
In comparison, the original owner's toughness was not even worth mentioning.
Xie Mubai's eyes turned cold, and his face was so gloomy that water could almost be squeezed out of it.
He subconsciously clenched his fists, his pale knuckles clearly visible.
Shen Wan took a look and hurried forward in fright.
This villain is really something. He was seduced because he is handsome, and it is not shameful to tell others about it. Does he need to be so angry?
Besides, they are only staying here for a few days, so why not just ignore her?
"What are you talking about?" She took two steps forward and asked with a smile.
When she saw her, the young widow's smile became even brighter: "They are talking about taking a concubine."
"By the way, Madam, have you ever considered taking a concubine for the young master?"
Such a straightforward request caught the main wife Shen Wan off guard.
