Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh old acquaintance
Gu Liniang was sitting in the room embroidering a handkerchief, which she had embroidered for Zhang Chengwang.
Naturally, the Zhang family's family background is incomparable to that of the Xi family. Zhang Xinghua is a lazy person who is unwilling to help the bottle when it's poured out. She can't be expected to do housework at all. Gu Liniang doesn't want to do housework herself, so she can only pay for it herself.
She hired a maid named Song to do housework, while she usually embroidered handkerchiefs, made purses, or polished ink for Zhang Chengwang.
To talk about the psychological gap, there must be one. When she was with Xi Mubai, the last thing she wore was silk, but here, she could only keep all her good fabrics and wear a cotton skirt.
Not to mention, the Zhang family can only guarantee that there are meat dishes for every meal, and this dish is made by the Song family. Song’s cooking skills are average, and the food he makes is barely edible, and it cannot be compared with the deliciousness.
Bian. Just asking Gu Liniang to spend more money to buy another cook, she was reluctant to do so.
A good cook costs at least twenty taels of silver, plus the monthly payment, which is quite a lot of expenses.
And she only told Cheng Wang that she had two hundred taels in her hand, and carefully put away the rest. She didn't dare to expose her mistakes because of her extravagant spending. Normally, Cheng Wang only gave her four hundred taels of silver every month for household expenses, which was still five dollars for the whole family.
Population expenses.
She could only console herself that Cheng Wang would end up next year. After he passed the exam, the wealthy households in Guangning County would definitely send money, and then her life would be easier. That Su Yuewei was simply disgusting, after being abandoned
, actually took the land deeds away with them. Cheng Wang wanted to show off, and those fields were all recorded in Su Yuewei’s name, so he couldn’t get them back even if he wanted to.
"Is Mrs. Gu here?"
Gu Liniang looked at the door. Mrs. Song was mopping the floor in the room, so she had to go over and open the door.
Gu Liniang had a good memory and recognized that this was the Du family from the same street, "Why is Auntie here?"
She smiled brightly and said, "Come in and have a sip of tea, it's hot outside."
She saw Mrs. Du holding a basket with two courgettes in it, which was obviously for their family.
Gu Liniang didn't like to eat courgettes, but her neighbor was kind enough to bring food to her, so she naturally had to show kindness. She once abandoned Zhang Chengwang and left. After Zhang Chengwang became a scholar, she came back in despair and drove away Su Yuewei. This fell into the eyes of many people.
, became a stain on her, so she had to behave kindly and kindly.
Gu Liniang also knew that many people in the neighborhood talked about her behind her back, but as long as they didn't talk about it in front of her, she could only pretend not to know. The only thing that made her happy was that Cheng Wang still treated her as gently and considerately as before.
Du Shi shook her head, "No, I'm just here to deliver some vegetables. My family picked too many courgettes today and couldn't finish them. I thought of your family, so I sent them over."
She deliberately raised her voice and said, "By the way, in our street, a wealthy family from the capital has moved in. Did you know that? The Xi family is really not ordinary rich. They entered the house three times a thousand taels and said
Just buy it.”
How much land can one thousand taels of silver buy? If they had this money, they would not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.
Gu Liniang naturally knew that a wealthy family had moved into this street, but she didn't know that the family was not only from the capital, but also had a surname of Xi. This coincidence reminded her of Xi Mubai, whom she once served.
Although Xi Mubai was not wholeheartedly devoted to her, the days she spent waiting by his side were actually the most comfortable times she had lived in these years.
It's a pity that she has been abandoned by him and cannot return to him.
Du Shi continued, "And the mistress of the Xi family is still an old acquaintance of ours."
She didn't directly mention the wife of the Xi family, just because she felt that Su Yuewei was remarried, so the Xi family seemed to be an unusual family, and Su Yuewei was definitely not the official wife. But so what if she was an aunt, look at her wearing gold and silver now,
I don't know how easy my life is. Compared with before, it can be said that it is completely different.
Gu Liniang felt disgusted with the fact that every time these nuns and six women gossiped, they only told half the truth, but her curiosity was indeed piqued by Du Shi, "Who is it?"
Du Shi's eyes were filled with the light of watching a good show, and her voice became more and more excited, "That's Su Yuewei! Zhang Xiucai's ex-wife."
"She is like a different person now, much more beautiful than before. If she hadn't called me out loud, I wouldn't have believed it was her."
"She really climbed up a high branch this time. The rubies she wore on her head were the size of quail eggs and were the same as pigeon blood. People say that a gemstone hairpin like that costs a hundred taels. You think this is so valuable.
I am willing to buy such expensive jewelry because of my money.”
"Her man really loves her. There are several maids serving her. It shows that this person's fate is really uncertain."
Gu Liniang was stunned. In the past few months, Su Yuewei had completely disappeared from people, so she gradually forgot about her existence. In her heart, Su Yuewei was just a defeated general and was of no concern. But she actually came back and got married.
Got so well.
And she tried her best but could only become a scholar. If she hadn't had some money in her hands, her life would have been much harder.
Gu Liniang was confused. She was more beautiful than Su Yuewei and knew how to handle men better than Su Yuewei. Why couldn't she meet a rich man?
Because she was so shocked by the news, she didn't even notice that Du Shi had left.
Because Du Shi deliberately did not control her volume when speaking, and the Zhang family was not big, everyone in the Zhang family heard Du Shi's words.
Zhang Chengwang's expression immediately turned cold and his hands clenched into fists.
Zhang Chengwang naturally has no conjugal feelings for Su Yuewei in his heart - otherwise he would not have designed Su Yuewei like this. But after all, Su Yuewei had been married to him for a few years, and even if she was divorced, it still belonged to him. She should guard her body for him for the rest of her life.
As a result, Su Yuewei was only divorced by him for half a year, but she found a new wife so quickly, and even married a rich man who could spend a lot of money.
This was like a slap in the face, which made stars shine in his eyes. I don't know how many people will laugh at him behind his back. Isn't it just to humiliate him that Du Shi came to deliver melons to his door today?
"She is indeed a watery woman!"
Zhang Chengwang gritted his teeth. Zhang Xinghua next to him looked in disbelief, "Is it fake? How is it possible?"
"She's not good-looking, and she's still in ruins. How can anyone like her?"
She was a yellow-flowered girl, but no one cared about her, and she has not been able to marry into a wealthy family. This strong contrast made Zhang Xinghua, who hated marrying more and more, angrier. Zhang Xinghua was so stimulated that she put down her hand.
Needle and thread, rushed out.
The person Su Yuewei married must have been deceived by her illusion. She must let him know her true face!
