Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Another Time Traveler
When Jinniang came back from outside, she couldn't help but step forward to congratulate Qin Shuang'er when she saw her: "I think your good fortune is coming soon."
Qin Shuang'er was threading a needle facing the light. Seeing Jinniang like this, she sneered: "You are a person who loves to play tricks. It would be strange if I had good things."
"Of course, Miao Xiaoniang is pregnant. You said she is pregnant, so you have to make those patchwork quilts. Doesn't this mean good things are coming? Last time, Sister Shan said that Miao Xiaoniang is very generous." Jinniang smiled.
The others in the room also asked, "How come we just heard that the Second Madam was pregnant, and now Miao Xiaoniang is also pregnant?"
Jinniang distributed the fruits in her hand and went back into the inner room. While changing her shoes, she said, "Anyway, I only care whether our work will increase. Other things don't matter."
After saying that, she sat on the table and started to paint the pattern of the Three Drunken Hibiscus flowers. The teacher who taught them painting in the girls' school was very good at boneless painting, but she had no money to go out and collect folk songs, so many of her paintings were copied in the school. Mix pink, white and dark green and start painting. After finishing, outline the edges.
While she was painting, the Second Miss's people called Fang Qiao Lian over and said that the white silk skirt that the Second Miss wanted to wear was missing, so they asked her to make another one.
During the Lantern Festival, girls usually wear white clothes, which, under the soft moonlight, have a cool and otherworldly beauty.
But Jinniang didn't expect that the girls' clothes would also disappear.
When she said this, everyone just laughed. Sister Jiang Shan said quickly, "It must be an internal thief who did it. He was on guard against us outsiders. We don't know the ins and outs, so we don't know where to steal."
Most people in this mansion are good, but some of the servants don't do their jobs well and they bully them. Whenever they do something bad, they claim that they were hired from outside and that they have been working in the Zhou family for generations and it is impossible for them to steal.
Jinniang shook her head and continued to finish drawing the patterns. She was busy until lunch time, when Si'er came in with a lunch box and said to her, "Sister Jinniang, Madam Chen said that the fourth young lady wants to make two pairs of bow shoes. Please go after lunch."
Bow shoes are worn by people with bound feet. I heard that the fourth girl would get sick whenever she mentioned bound feet. Now she is eight years old, and her family said that if she doesn't bind her feet, she will be too old. So she bound her feet at the end of last year, and she has hardly gotten out of bed. Jinniang felt very sympathetic, but when she looked at Qin Shuang'er, her face was full of envy and a little disgusted.
After dinner, she came to the fourth girl. The fourth girl's residence was next to the third girl's. The layout of their residences was similar, and the number of servants was the same, but the third girl already looked like a young girl, while the fourth girl was only a year or two younger but still had a child's bun and looked like a little kid.
"I, Jinniang from the sewing room, greet the fourth young lady. I am here to make shoes for her on the orders of Madam Chen."
The fourth girl tilted her head to look at her and smiled again: "You are Jinniang from the sewing room, Wei Jinniang?"
"Yes, it is me." She didn't think she was that famous, so why did the Fourth Young Lady seem a little surprised?
Little did she know that the fourth girl Zhou Susu never expected that she would meet the characters in the book. When she was in college in her previous life, she watched an online drama and started to complain about it on the website. Unexpectedly, the topic became popular and she received advertising quotes for every video she made. She made a fortune before she even graduated. Later, when her inspiration ran out, she read a novel about a domestic intrigue with a female protagonist who was as calm as a chrysanthemum. It was said that the novel was going to be made into a TV series. She was so eager to complain about it, and she knew that the work was popular, so she had prepared all the materials. However, she did not expect that she would immediately travel to the novel. This book is called "Survival Guide for Wife-Filling". The heroine is Wu, the second wife of the Zhou family. When she came into the family, her husband had a deceased wife who was as gentle and lovely as the white moonlight, and a clever concubine. She responded to each other's moves and finally won the praise of everyone in the Zhou family and also won the heart of her husband. But after reading the book, she really disliked the double-standard and hypocritical heroine. She liked the vicious female supporting role of the Black Lotus boss even more. God was kind to her, and she was reborn as the daughter of the vicious female supporting role.
Jinniang was originally an insignificant character in the novel. It was only after many people mentioned it in the comments section that she re-read the chapter content. The name of Jinniang that appears in the text is Wei Xiaoniang, and it is said that she is the second wife secretly married by the arrogant eldest brother Zhou Cunzhi. Although Zhou Cunzhi's wife is a difficult person to get along with, she can take care of herself and secretly instigate discord between the couple. She can be regarded as a version of You Erjie with explosive fighting power.
Not only that, when Zhou Cunzhi offended his superiors and was demoted, his wife took the opportunity to dismiss the concubines. Jinniang was already thirty-five or thirty-six years old at that time, and was favored by a young yamen official. She immediately decided to remarry with her dowry. Although she was a concubine, she was the main wife, and they were very loving.
Her story was also considered unreasonable by readers, who said that she, a 36-year-old beauty, could marry a son of an official family and live happily.
Especially the fourth girl now finds it very strange when she looks at Jinniang. She didn't expect that Wei Jinniang would work in the Zhou family at such a young age. After all, she was not even a supporting role in the book, so there was naturally no need to spend a lot of effort to write about her. Now it seems that she herself has a connection with the Zhou family?
But Zhou Cunzhi was born extremely handsome, free and easy, and in the books he was described as a beautiful woman with high taste and a love for delicate flowers. How could he fall for Wei Jinniang? She looks chubby and has a peach-like face, very mediocre.
However, her top priority now is not Wei Jinniang but her mother Miao Xiaoniang.
But when he looked at his bound feet, he became discouraged. She thought that after traveling through time, even if she could not become someone like Hua Mulan or Liang Hongyu, at least she would be able to live in the Song Dynasty and admire talented women like Li Qingzhao and Zhu Shuzhen. She was determined to make a difference. However, there was no need to talk about the conflicts between legitimate and illegitimate children, or wives and concubines. Just the matter of foot binding was something that her own mother, Miao Xiaoniang, had done for her while she was sleeping. She could not resist at all.
The situations in TV novels where sisters attack each other in front of their biological father and gossip about each other do not exist at all in the Zhou family, because their biological father rarely comes to the backyard except to sleep. When he has time, he will let them write and check it out. He is considered a good father in this era. Even after greeting each other, the sisters would stay in their own rooms and would only visit each other very rarely. Everyone had to write and do needlework on weekdays, so there were not many days for them to get together.
If the elders do not ask the younger generation to reply, they cannot interrupt at all. Even if they do reply, they will be considered unfilial. If they do something wrong, there will be special maids to teach them how to be polite.
…
Jinniang felt that the fourth young lady looked at her strangely. When she was cutting the shoes, she felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Luying came over and said that the second lady was here, and asked the girls to go and talk to the guest. Only then could she leave.
