Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 853 Heating (5)
Women in Dazhou reach the age of 15 and Jiji, which symbolizes the adulthood of a woman. Generally, most married women are over 15 years old. Unless the family can't live on, they will be given to their in-laws as child brides.

When I saw Ji You a few days ago, when it came to getting married, Ji You looked forward to it. Even Qing Li hated marrying. She wished that the border would be settled as soon as possible, and she would be with Demon Chunyu as soon as possible. But it was only for a short moment. After she wakes up, she no longer looks forward to getting married.

Being in the carriage was boring, and because of the snow, the journey was slowed down, an hour later than the scheduled time, and it was not until late at night that I arrived at the Fengyang City mansion.

The coachman knocked on the door of the mansion, alarming the maidservant in the mansion, who got up in an instant, boiling hot water, tidying up, the back kitchen also came to prepare supper for her, even alarmed the boy Xi, who was sleepy. Running to the backyard, seeing her come back, I immediately regained my spirits.

"Little brother, hurry up and go to bed. Fourth sister will send you to school tomorrow morning."

Qingli patted Zixi's head. Every time she saw her younger brother, she felt that something new had changed. Since the last time she showed her face in front of the army in the north of the city, Zixi's personality had also changed a little. She was more lively than before. Also big.

On the second day, Qingli woke up early, it was cold, she wanted to sleep a little longer, but last night she promised her younger brother to send him to school, she couldn't break her promise, so she had to crawl out of the warm blanket.

"Nurse Yu, let Mai Dong take good care of her and don't need her to take care of her recently."

Qingli hastily ordered to let Mai Ya follow along. Along the way, Zixi pulled Qingli to talk about the school. He knew to keep a low profile at a young age, and he didn't spread the news about showing his face at the camp in the north of the city. The teachers and classmates in the school , I only know that his family is rich, but I don't know the background.

"It's better to let Mr. treat everyone equally."

Zixi knew a lot at a young age, and Qingli took it for granted.It is not a good thing to go to the school to study, if you let the master know your identity.Some scholars have lost their character, are used to flattery, treat students with background differently, and flatter others, so my father also considered this at the beginning, and after inquiring about it, he sent Zixi to an old gentleman with a good reputation.

Zixi didn't have a book boy, no servants to wait on him, because he was far away and couldn't go to school by himself, so a carriage was provided from the house, and there was only one coachman to pick him up.

Qingli prepared a pouch for little disciple Xi, which contained some nougat of various flavors, and asked him to distribute it to his classmates, put a cap on him, and watched him enter the school.

Although Fengyang is close to Pingyang, there is not such a strong wind. In this season, there are still many people on both sides of the street, and the shops on both sides are doing good business.

Shen Bingyu left the address for Qingli. The address of Buzhuang is a main street in Pingyang, and the mansion is not too far from her home. It takes less than half an hour by carriage. She is thinking about whether to buy something on the street. The first time you come to the door, you can't empty-handed.

"Mat, what do you think I should buy?"

Qingli and Shen Bingyu have a good relationship. Even if Master Shen is her uncle, although Master Shen was confused before and was deceived by his stepmother, he is also very innocent. My sister also forgave him, and the family was harmonious.

"Here, miss, this servant thinks that some rich people like to be arty, so you just prepare some good tea, fruits and cakes, add some seafood from Kyoto, and prepare a few gifts."

Mai Ya thought about it for a while, and gave advice to her own lady, Qing Li nodded, in this case, it is better to prepare it by herself, it is definitely better than buying it from a shop.As for melons and fruits, apples and pears are easier to preserve. This time I also brought back a box. The tea is produced in the space, so it is rare and expensive. There are only cakes, so just buy some.

Back at the mansion, after a brief tidying up, Qingli prepared eight gifts, so that it would not be considered impolite to visit an official's house in Kyoto. She calculated the time, and it was just after noon before ordering the coachman to set off.

The street where Shen's residence is located is surrounded by rich merchants' families who have been doing business in Pingyang City for several generations, and their families have great businesses.

Qingli stopped the carriage at the side door, and she tightened her ferret cloak. The surrounding courtyard walls were very high. Outside the courtyard walls, she could only see a few big trees and tall eaves in the mansion. Melting snow.

When chatting with Shen Bingyu, she introduced that there are four courtyards in Shen's residence, and the master of the family lives in the third and fourth courtyards.It turned out that she lived in Sijin, and her stepmother lived in Sanjin with her father. Between the three and four gardens, there was a big pond across the garden. In winter, the water in the pond froze. The surface is slippery.

The stepmother was vicious, and learned that she would go to the pond every day after breakfast, so in the middle of the night, she asked the servants of the house to dig ice, and in the morning, a small layer of ice was frozen on it, which was invisible from the outside. Without knowing it, Shen Bingyu fell into the ice hole, and later, it was her mother's maid who dragged her out desperately.

That servant girl has been taking care of her wholeheartedly for more than ten years, and she has never been married. Shen Bingyu decided to let the servant girl marry her father and become the new wife of the Shen family.

Mai Ya went up to call for the door, and it took a long time until the side door opened a gap, a man with the appearance of a servant poked his head out, and seeing only Qingli and Mai Ya, his originally ecstatic eyes slowly dimmed.

"My little brother, my lady is here to ask to see Master Shen."

With a gift box in his hand, Mai Ya took the initiative to talk to the servant with a smile on his face, but when the servant heard this, his face immediately changed and he was about to close the door.

"Hey, what's your attitude!"

Seeing that the other party was evasive, Mai Ya also lost her temper. This is Miss Shen's home, so she had no choice but to endure the unhappiness in her heart, and emphasized again, "Our lady is here to visit Master Shen."

"Our master is not at the house."

The servant's tone was low, he shook his head, and resolutely closed the side door, leaving the master and servant behind closed doors. He was so angry that Mai Ya said loudly at the door, "Is there anyone who treats guests like this? My lady's surname is Mo, and she is on good terms with Miss Shen Bingyu." .”

As soon as Shen Bingyu was mentioned, the servant quickly opened the door, looked at Qingli in surprise, and saw a stunning beauty standing outside the door, wearing a pure white ferret, he knew that his identity was not simple. When gossiping, I seem to have said that my young lady is in the capital, and she seems to be on good terms with General Zhongwu's niece. Does it mean that my master is saved?However, General Zhongwu was fighting in other places, and he could not quench his thirst far away.

"But Qingli?"

A woman in her thirties, with a kind face, her eyes were red, she seemed to have not slept all night, she was a little tired, followed by two servant girls, she heard the voice, walked out from the side door, she was also taken aback when she saw Qingli.

"It's me, ma'am."

Qing Li smiled slightly, the kind lady in front of her was Xiao Yu's stepmother, she heard that she had a very close relationship with Xiao Yu, so it was not surprising to know that she was.
