Chapter 173 Heartfelt words
Chun Niang's question stopped Wen Wan.
If the general was not Shen Yu, she would not hesitate to encourage Chun Niang to strive for the greatest personal interests in accordance with the rules of feudal society.
But...
That person is Shen Yu!
Her ex!
She really can't do anything to encourage other women to get pregnant with their ex's children!
Seeing that Wen Wan remained silent, Chun Niang smiled angrily and slowly let go of Wen Wan's hand.
"It's very late. I went back to the yard to sleep."
Chun Niang put the uneaten melon seeds back into the plate, stood up and walked out.
By the flickering candlelight, Chun Niang's back seemed to be blurred by warm colors.
Like all women in this era who are helpless, she has deeply felt the class gap in practice even though she has never read a book, and she has learned to accept her fate.
"Chun Niang..."
After all, Wen Wan couldn't bear to leave her alone, "I will accompany you to worship the Guanyin Empress."
Hearing this, Chun Niang turned around and immediately smiled.
"Okay."
At that moment, Wen Wan thought randomly that sometimes, like Chun Niang, it would be nice to live a simple life.
*
There were three carriages parked at the entrance of the General's Mansion, surrounded by five or six guards and seven or eight maids.
An old nanny was responsible for arranging everyone's work. The old nanny was the nanny who was married to the general's wife. Her surname was Liu, and she was very trusted by the Zhao family.
Aunt Liu asked her servants to load the offerings into the last carriage, and then said to the concubines waiting at the door:
"I will accompany all my aunts to worship the Guanyin Empress. There is a temple fair at the Guanyin Empress Temple in the past few days, and there are many people. Please don't wander around."
"Even if you aunts are considerate of us slaves, if we bump into each other, we will all have to shed a layer of our skin."
After a pause, Grandma Liu said coldly:
"Also, the last sentence is what Madam asked me to tell you. Our General Shen is also well-known in the court. As a woman in the general's palace, we must be careful in our words and deeds and not cause trouble."
This statement is still very subtle.
Just to let them remember that they are women belonging to the general, and it is a cliché that they cannot have contact with foreign men.
Wen Wan stood at the edge and yawned boredly. After Grandma Liu finished speaking, she followed the other concubines and got into the carriage. The carriage was spacious and could fit four people in one carriage.
Wen Wan naturally got into the same car as Chun Niang, and there were also two concubines who were familiar with Chun Niang, Hua Niang and Xiaorou.
In ordinary times, although the concubines have no worries about food and clothing, they rarely have the opportunity to leave the house.
Now that they had the opportunity to come out, several people seemed very excited. After the carriage entered the main street, they couldn't help but lift a corner of the curtain and look out.
Chun Niang pointed to a stage in the distance, "Xiaowan, look, that troupe seems to be from the south. I can't understand a word of the lyrics."
Wen Wan glanced at her casually and said softly, "Well, it's a begging opera in the south. He sings the story of an old scholar who passed the examination and married a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl."
Chun Niang smiled and said, "Xiao Wan, you are so awesome. Have you heard of this play? But you are not from the south."
Wen Wan was startled and her eyes flashed, "I have been living abroad for more than half a year, and I met a southern opera troupe by chance. I can barely remember a few words."
"Oh." Chun Niang didn't say anything.
The flower lady sitting across from her spoke up, "Speaking of which, Xiaowan must have had a very hard time these days. She finally returned to the General's Mansion this time, so she must cherish her time there."
Wen Wan was so perceptive that he immediately noticed that there was something in her words.
"Flower Girl, do you have anything you want to remind me of?"
The flower girl covered her lips with a brocade handkerchief and smiled softly, "We are all sisters. We don't have to mention what we say. It's just a few words that touch my heart. I just want to tell you."
Wen Wan remained calm and said softly: "Oh, Hua Niang, it doesn't matter, we are sisters, there is no need to interfere." It's just a showmanship, Wen Wan is not incompetent, in the workplace before, this kind of talking to each other. There is plenty of time to talk.
On the surface, they are as close as sisters, but secretly they are not merciless in all kinds of backstabbing. Whoever takes the word "sister" seriously will be in trouble.
The flower girl finally found the opportunity to speak.
"When you returned home a few days ago, you annoyed Madam, and we were all worried about you. Xiaowan, you are the same. You just returned home, how could you think of approaching the general immediately?"
She pretended to be worried and sighed, "Don't even think about it. You have been living outside for such a long time and just returned home. Even if you really get the general's favor and you don't live up to your expectations, forget it. If you live up to your expectations and you really have an heir, then you How can I explain it clearly? Isn’t it causing trouble for myself?”
He spoke sincerely, as if every sentence was considered from a gentle perspective.
But after Wen Wan listened, she really couldn't relax.
She glanced at Chun Niang and Xiaorou, and their expressions were indeed deep in thought.
Sure enough, Hua Niang's idea is, to a certain extent, the current public opinion.
Moreover, if Achai happened to be Shen Yu, wouldn't she have cuckolded the general?
"It's really troublesome."
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
Wen Wan murmured, feeling more and more that she couldn't stay in the back house of the general's mansion for another day.
Can you escape?
If she really did not know General Shen to make a living, she might still have a chance while the general's mansion was not on guard.
Now, after Shen Yu discovers her identity, will he easily let her escape?
I'm afraid not only won't it happen, but even if she escapes by chance, with his power, she will be captured in minutes.
Therefore, we still have to find a way to make him take the initiative to let go, so that we can get over it once and for all.
"Xiao Wan..." Chun Niang thought for a moment and then said, "I think what Hua Niang said makes some sense."
She responded gently and said calmly: "Yes. It makes sense. Don't worry, I have figured it out now and will not get in front of the general again."
Hearing this, Hua Niang and Xiao Rou looked at each other, and both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting along for two or three years, the women in this backyard all know each other's details to some extent.
People like Wen Wan, who have good looks, high emotional intelligence, and are always good at pleasing people, are really their fierce rivals.
In any case, now that there is one less enemy, it is a good thing for them.
Only Chun Niang, after hearing what Wen Wan said, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.
Chun Niang gently held Wen Wan's hand and comforted:
"Xiao Wan, don't be anxious. The general will have a long rest this time. After a few months, you will be able to please the general with your ability."
Wen Wan: "..."
After a few months, she would no longer be in the general's residence.
She thought so in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, just pretending to be sensible and nodding in agreement.
After talking, the atmosphere in the carriage became more relaxed.
Several young girls started chatting about the Guanyin Temple.
"I heard that the Guanyin Goddess in the temple has efficacious effects. In the past few days at temple fairs, many wives of high officials and nobles have come to offer incense."
"I've also heard that there are ladies who are struggling to get the auspicious fragrance every day, even to the point of breaking up."
Two chapters are stably updated every day.
