Shuang Lian hurriedly said: "Sister, please don't be angry, I'm also kind to you!"
Zhui Zi took a breath and said, "I don't care whether the father-in-law takes care of my aunt or not.
But even if you accept it, it can’t be me.”
"Why is this?" Shuang Lian was very puzzled.
"What's the reason for this? As a housemaid, do you have to be a concubine for the master of the family?" Zhuangzi asked her, "Is Sister Lingdang okay? It's up to the master and his wife to make the decision to get rid of her slavery and become a real couple.
.
Being able to live an upright life and giving birth to a child who can study and become an official, what is better than that?"
"But what if the wife won't let you go? Since you want to take a concubine, you have to choose a reliable one.
You can't just buy someone from outside and come in without knowing what his temperament is." Shuang Lian said, "Besides, I've already let Sister Lingdang out, should I let you out too?"
"What do you know? Our girl has told me a long time ago that when the time comes, let me be like Sister Lingdang.
She said that after we have served her for so many years, she must find a good home for us."
When Shuang Lian heard what she said, he breathed a sigh of relief and his expression became particularly relaxed, but Zhuangzi didn't notice it.
"Sister Zhuizi, do you have a candidate in mind for your ideal husband?" Shuanglian asked with a giggle, "If you are embarrassed to break the window paper, I can pass the message on your behalf and be a little matchmaker."
"You girl, why are you getting more and more crazy, no matter how big or small!" Zhuangzi's face turned red again, "If you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart."
Shuang Lian smiled and hid while saying: "No, sister. I have good intentions and want to help you.
This girl is very unlikely to stay, so she has to marry off early to save her worries!"
"You are getting more and more nonsense!" Zhui Zi went up to cover her mouth. "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will be really annoyed."
The two of them were making a fuss, and Shuang Lian accidentally knocked the remaining raw chestnuts to the ground, and rolled everywhere.
"Look, you are in trouble! You still have to clean up." Zhuangzi said and went to pick up chestnuts on the ground.
Shuang Lian also smiled while helping her pick them up, and secretly hid some of the chestnuts in her sleeves.
After a while, the two people picked up all the chestnuts scattered on the ground.
Shuang Lian said to Zhui Zi: "Good sister, I won't tease you anymore. Don't get angry again."
"I'm telling you, don't make fun of me anymore." Zhuangzi said, "It's not good for others to hear."
"Sister, let me ask again, is there anyone you like in this house?" Shuang Lian asked in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will never talk nonsense."
"What's wrong with you girl? Again..." Zhuangzi's eyes widened again.
"It's brother Wei Yu, right?" Shuang Lian said.
Huizi's face suddenly turned red, and then his eyes darkened again.
"What's wrong, sister? I said the wrong thing. Damn it, I won't talk nonsense anymore." Shuanglian quickly took the pendant's hand and begged, "Don't take it to heart, it's all my nonsense."
Unexpectedly, Zhuangzi didn't get angry this time. He just sighed and said, "I don't blame you. It's just that the person you mentioned doesn't have me in his heart at all."
Shuang Lian guessed that Wei Yu was because she thought that Zhuangzi was almost eighteen years old but had not yet discussed marriage.
Most likely she did this because she wanted to be an aunt.
And just now Zhuangzi said that she would never make a baby for the father-in-law. Shuanglian felt that she was probably interested in someone in the house, so she had not discussed marriage for a long time.
On the other hand, among the people in this mansion, the first one who is about the same age as Zhuangzi and stands out is Wei Yu.
"How could it be? In my opinion, you two are quite right for each other." Shuang Lian said, "It's just that neither of you has made it clear what your feelings are, so it's hard for him to do anything to you!"
"No," Zhuangzi shook his head firmly and said, "Actually, I have tested him several times. He really doesn't have me in his heart, and I don't want to humiliate myself."
"Who does Brother Wei Yu like?" Shuang Lian was quite curious.
"I don't know who it is. Maybe he doesn't have anyone in mind." Zhuozi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "He is now focused on doing things for this house and doesn't care about himself at all."
"It's a risk, it's a risk. Fortunately, Mother Sang wanted to pair me up with brother Wei Yu, but I rejected her." Shuang Lian patted her chest and said, "Otherwise you will definitely hate me."
"I don't hate you. Because I know Wei Yu can't agree." Zhuizi smiled and said, "Don't tell anyone about me anymore. Even Sang's mother doesn't know.
She is Wei Yu's godmother. If she knew what I was thinking, she would definitely want to match him with me.
That will definitely embarrass Wei Yu, and besides, I don’t want to force it, it won’t be sweet if you force it.”
"Sister, you will definitely find your right husband in the future. Your wife will make the decision for you, and you won't be overwhelmed by the number of marriage proposals." Shuang Lian comforted the pendant and said.
"Fate is determined by fate, just let it go! But don't talk about whether the father-in-law takes concubines or not in the future. Even if the wife is pregnant again, she doesn't necessarily have to take the aunt.
Anyway, I don’t think my father-in-law means anything at all. You’ve seen how much she loves our wife.” Shuangzi said as he gathered up the ashes in the stove and prepared to throw them away.
"Sister, let me do it! You go to the madam's place and take a look. Maybe she will wake up soon." Shuang Lian said.
"That's fine, I've been back for a long time." Zhuizi said, "Don't dump the ashes randomly. Be careful where sparks catch them."
"I know, put them all in the kitchen, and then take them out of the house and dump them." Shuang Lian agreed and walked out.
The pendant then moved to the front, waiting for Jiang Nuan to wake up and go in to serve him.
Shuang Lian walked to the back and poured out the ashes first, then took out a few chestnuts from his sleeves and threw them into the bamboo basket containing the vegetable peels and roots.
By now it was completely dark, and the kitchen steward sent someone to hitch up a cart and pull out the piles of ashes, firewood, ashes and other junk and throw them away.
The driver was very skilled at driving, so he loaded all these things into the car and took them out of the house.
There is a special place in the city for dumping garbage and rags. The driver threw the things out of the car and returned.
Several beggars came over and rummaged around.
The leftovers thrown out by rich families are rare delicacies to them.
Rags and rotten shoes are also good.
One of the beggars touched a few chestnuts among the rotten vegetables and immediately laughed from ear to ear.
Such large chestnuts are sold at a high price in dried fruit shops.
These beggars live in shabby shacks, and because the weather is too cold, they naturally build fires to keep warm.
The beggar put the chestnuts into the fire to cook them and eat them.
Who would have thought that not long after, following several explosions, several beggars surrounding the fire screamed.
Some of their eyes were injured by the explosion, and some of their faces were burned.
No one thought that a few chestnuts could actually hurt someone like this.
