Shuangxi carried a basket of clothes and arrived at the small river behind Shen's house. The weather had warmed up, Shen Mo was not at home, and there was a lot of work at home, so carrying water was a bit troublesome, so Shuangxi decided to come to the small river. do the laundry.
Some of these clothes are Shen Ziyan's, Shen Yan's, and Shen Bingxian's.
Shuangxi secretly came to do the laundry while Shen Ziyan and Shen Yan were not at home.
When they were at home, Shuangxi was not allowed to do this, and Shuangxi was not allowed to do that. Shuangxi felt more and more like a rice bug, and if this continued, he would become useless.
Shuangxi is not a squeamish girl. She can still do things within her power such as washing clothes.
The water of the small river is very clear, and the green water plants in it are swaying slightly in the blue waves, which looks very pleasing to the eye.
At this time, a lot of people had gathered beside the river, including young girls, young wives, or some women. When they saw Shuangxi coming, they seemed a little curious, pointing at Shuangxi and not knowing what to say.
Shuangxi didn't care, they just looked at it with curiosity, and it would get better after a while.
Although there are many profligate people in the village, the folk customs are still simple. It has been some time since the Shen family came to Qingshi Village, and there have been no incidents like other families with shared wives.
In the past, there were families with shared wives in this village. Three brothers married one daughter-in-law.
The family was very poor, and they did a lot of stealing. Just because the three brothers were desperate people, no one dared to argue with them. Their wife was a poor girl from another village. , after getting married, she was gradually transformed into a human being by that brother.
How could a poor, thin, and always depressed little lady, who was already frail and sickly, be able to withstand the pleasures of the three brothers? Not long after, the little lady fell ill in bed and could not get up.
In the end, in order to prevent herself from being ruined again, this little lady even tricked the girl in the village who had always been close to her into visiting her home.
Those three brothers were like hungry wolves, and this girl was harmed in the end. In ancient times, such a thing was shocking. If it were normal, this girl should have hanged herself to show her innocence. .
This girl's parents are also honest people. After knowing about this matter, they could only think of hiding it. If such a thing were to spread, I am afraid that this girl would really not be able to survive.
Most parents in the world still love their children. How can a girl who has just blossomed her life pay for her life for the crimes of the three brothers?
These three brothers were of really bad character and actually threatened the old man. If the old man didn't marry his daughter to them, they would tell the world about it.
After all, it was the girl who went to their house, so it would be feasible to say that the girl had seduced them.
Since ancient times, in those ancient dynasties, except for the rare dictatorship of female emperors, the status of women has been very low. When this incident was revealed, the only one who was hurt was this innocent girl.
In the end, the old man could only take the girl and move away from Qingshi Village.
Although the old man tried his best to conceal this matter, how could there be an airtight wall? The village is so small, even if the east end of the village sneezes, the sound can be heard in the west end of the village. It didn't take long for this matter to spread Already.
If this incident had happened in other villages, they would just laugh when they arrived. However, around us, everyone would be a little more wary of families with shared wives.
Moreover, although I sympathized with the woman who was my co-wife, I still felt disgusted with him. No one could be sure that this woman would do something crazy for him.
But the Shen family seems to be different. People in this village all know that the Shen family has four brothers. It is said that the fourth Shen is a sick and consumptive man, and they don't often see him.
But if he met the eldest son of the Shen family, he would smile gently and say hello respectfully. Although Erlang Shen was a bit cold, he did not offend anyone else.
Finally, there is Shen Sanlang. When he meets someone who smiles at him, he will return a warm smile. For those who look at him with a sarcastic expression, he will directly ignore him coldly. Such a true-hearted young man , there is no scheming in his heart, and naturally he will not be disgusted by others.
As time passed, everyone began to see that the nature of the Shen brothers was different from the family that shared wives in the village, and was different from many families that shared wives.
Although he is poor, he doesn't seem to be poor enough to steal things from other people's homes to make ends meet. Moreover, I heard that Shen Sanlang was sent to the town to study, which ordinary people here cannot afford.
The brothers of the Shen family seem to be very knowledgeable about etiquette. Besides, the Shen family's shared wife, the girl Shuangxi of the An family, was known to everyone when they were in the village. This girl is a bit silly, and this is something that the whole village knows. knew.
But this silly girl actually got better after arriving at the Shen family. Her speech, behavior, and demeanor gave people the impression that she was not a girl from an ordinary family, let alone someone like the An family.
It can only explain one thing, that is, the Shen family is a first-class good family. If this silly girl goes away, she will become smarter. Maybe the Shen brothers are blessed.
Of course, it might be Wangfu, the wife of the Shen family.
In any case, the people in the village no longer have the initial resistance to the Shen brothers and Shuangxi.
At this time, a brave little lady said something to the people around her, picked up her bamboo basket, and walked towards Shuangxi.
This is a ten-year-old girl, with a smile on her face, looking at Double Happiness.
Shuangxi also smiled back, she could feel the kindness of this lady.
"Ms. Shen, can I do the laundry next to you?" the young lady asked, with a hearty tone that sounded open-minded.
This is the wife of the Zhou family. She lives next to the An family and is also very close to Shuangxi's house. She occasionally meets Shuangxi on the road on weekdays, but she has never spoken to Shuangxi.
Shuangxi's clothes were placed on a huge bluestone that was slightly soaked in the water. At this moment, she was squatting on the high ground next to the bluestone, rubbing her clothes. When she heard Mrs. Zhou's words, Shuangxi pulled her clothes slightly to the side. He closed the door and made a place for the Zhou family's wife.
Mrs. Zhou's wife burst into laughter when she saw Shuangxi so happy, and then squatted down next to Shuangxi.
Mrs. Zhou's wife has a delicate appearance, her eyebrows are painted as thin as willow leaves, her face is slightly covered with a thin layer of powder, and her cheeks are sprinkled with pink rouge. She looks very good.
She was also well-dressed, and her hair was styled into a nice bun hanging down the back of her head, with a silver tassel hairpin stuck on it. She seemed to be the most charming among these eldest girls and young wives.
At this time, Mrs. Zhou's wife smiled and spoke: "Ms. Shen's wife, I have been your neighbor for so long and I have never interacted with you. It's my fault."
When Shuangxi heard Mrs. Zhou's words, she quickly said: "I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with this place. I don't dare to take the liberty to look..." Shuangxi glanced at Madam Zhou, she didn't know what the name of the lady in front of her was.
"I'll just ask you. If you don't mind, just call me Sister Xiuxiu." Mrs. Zhou's wife said with a smile. Xiuxiu is her maiden name in her natal family. Telling Shuangxi now is enough to express her closeness.
.
Shuangxi followed the good example and said with a smile: "Sister Xiuxiu, Xi'er is being polite." Shuangxi said this with a bit of teasing.
Mrs. Zhou's wife was immediately amused: "You arrogant little girl." As she said this, she pretended to push Shuangxi. Of course, she didn't really push Shuangxi, it was just a playful gesture.
Although Madam Zhou is already the mother of a baby, no matter how precocious the ancient women were, Madam Zhou is not very old yet, and she carries with her a vitality unique to young women.
"Xi'er, shall I take you to wash clothes over there? The sisters over there all want to get to know you." After chatting for a few words, Mrs. Zhou's wife secretly glanced at the few over there.
The young lady who came was there and said to Shuangxi.
In a village, Shuangxi naturally wanted to get to know more people, but she was still a little scared. She came to ancient times and had little contact with outsiders, and she didn't know what the thoughts of ancient people were like.
Shuangxi looked at Mrs. Zhou's warm face and thought to herself, she couldn't hide all the time, right? Although there were top-notch people like Mrs. An and Mrs. Meng in this village, there were still people as lovely as Granny Wang.
Sooner or later, I have to integrate into this village and into this kind of life.
Shuangxi put the clothes into the bamboo basket, carried them carefully to prevent the spilled water from dripping on her body, and followed the Shen family's wife to where those people were.
The ladies who came here to wash clothes were all married ladies. The oldest one was the Yang family lady, who was now twenty-three years old. When she saw Shuangxi and Zhou family ladies coming over, she smiled and greeted them.
He took two steps and said, "Is she the Shen family's wife?"
Shuangxi nodded quickly and gave a big smile without hesitation.
Shuangxi felt the scrutinizing eyes around her, and was not annoyed or ashamed, and let these ladies look at her openly.
Shuangxi also took the opportunity to look at the ladies around them. These ladies were a little younger, but they didn't wash clothes with those ladies. There were five of them here, one was the lady from the Zhou family, and the other was the lady just now.
The lady who was talking to her, she heard Madam Zhou call her Sister Yang, she should be Madam Yang. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support is
