Mother Liu has two sons and one daughter, two of whom have been married for a long time. Only the youngest son became an idiot after a high fever when he was young.
When Liu's mother and husband were strong, it was easy to take care of their youngest son. But after they were buried, what should the younger son do? The daughter-in-law is not easy to get along with, and she cannot tolerate the stupid uncle. This is Liu's mother's heartache, and she has also complained to Lai's mother.
Mother Lai mentioned Mother Liu's silly son: "You haven't planned it? You two can't live for a long time. After a hundred years, he won't even have anywhere to go..."
Mother Liu lowered her head and let out a long sigh.
"...Why don't you buy him a daughter-in-law, and ask your eldest daughter-in-law to take the deed? In order to save herself from trouble, she will also hold onto her younger sister-in-law firmly..." Lai's mother's eyes flickered, and her tone was full of temptation.
Mother Liu's eyes lit up, but she immediately hesitated: "You mean?"
Lai's mother swore, "I'm not doing this all for myself. We old sisters and confidants, half of it was for your sake that I came up with this idea. Think about it, is this good for you?"
Liu's mother was hesitant. She had only seen Chujiu twice, and she knew in her heart that it was Lai's mother's son Lai Wu who was not honest in what he did, which forced Chujiu to resist.
Lai's mother started to cry: "I admit that I have selfish motives. I wanted to take revenge on Chujiu, but things have come to pass. You got a daughter-in-law for nothing. What does it mean to me and Xiaowu?"
After Liu's mother returned home, she tossed about all night, and agreed to Lai's mother the next day.
When I arrived at Songyunju on the ninth day of the lunar month, my life was very different from before. There was only one master living in Songyunju, Zhou Yijing, and he was not often at home. Not to mention the new arrival on the ninth day of the lunar month, there were only the original few servants. Not too busy either.
Wuwei sympathized with Chujiu very much and said hello to the servants in Songyunju, asking them to treat Chujiu better. In this way, Chujiu would be more relaxed.
The original owner was tired and malnourished all day long. Now that the situation has changed, Chujiu's complexion has obviously improved.
When Wuwei saw that Chujiu had been bored in Songyun Ju, he said, "When the prince is away, you don't have to be so honest. If you have little sisters you know well, just go and play with them."
Chujiu understood Wuwei's good intentions, but the original owner was too cowardly and had no good friends at all. She thought about it and went to Anlanyuan.
Haitang visited her a few times, and she took the initiative once.
Haitang was very surprised to see Chujiu and took Chujiu to greet Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou looked at Chujiu carefully and said with a smile: "You are a lot more energetic, and I can see that there is some flesh on your face. It shows that your prince treats you well."
Chujiu smiled and said nothing.
She is now serving Zhou Yijing as a maid, but she only serves tea and water. Zhou Yijing's eyes have never fallen on her, and there is no such thing as "treating you well".
Mrs. Hou said: "I asked you to go to Songyunju because of your wit and courage. Chujiu, please don't let me down. As for the prince, as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded in the future."
These words sounded nondescript. Chujiu didn't quite understand, so he nodded in agreement.
Qiu Shui looked at Chu Jiu's bright face and felt slightly sad. The "good reward" Mrs. Hou said most likely meant that in the future, as long as the prince is willing, Mrs. Hou will make the decision and promote Chu Jiu as his aunt.
This was Qiu Shui's dream, but since Yu Wanniang moved into the Hou Mansion, Qiu Shui had to give up this thought.
Since I can do it in the ninth grade, why can’t I do it myself? Mrs. Hou was able to fall in love with Chujiu simply because Chujiu was so courageous. Qiu Shui thought and made up his mind that if Wan Niang came to trouble her again, she would definitely perform well.
Haitang looked at Chujiu with a smile, and saw that Chujiu's hands were white and tender, very different from before, and she couldn't help but nodded with pleasure.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, I stayed in Anlanyuan for a while and then walked slowly towards Songyunju.
In the past few days, Chujiu became more and more sure that she was going to stay here. In this case, she had to think about the future.
This is a dynasty that does not exist in history, but according to Chujiu's understanding, as a maid who sells herself, there is no bright future.
It was the most common outcome to be married off by the master to a servant in the house, and then the children she gave birth to would also become slaves.
There is another possibility that is not considered by Chujiu at all, and that is to become a concubine.
Chujiu, who came from a society of equality and autonomy, cannot accept giving up dignity under any circumstances.
Chujiu walked slowly, feeling the sunshine and breeze, and suddenly felt confused.
"Sister, sister, come here."
Someone was shouting with a smile. On Chujiu, he followed the sound and saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old sitting on a rockery on the side of the road.
The young man's short and fat finger pointed at Chujiu, and saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth and fell on the hem of his clothes.
Chujiu discovered that this young man seemed to be mentally ill.
Just looking at his face, his facial features are quite straight, but his eyes are staring, and he looks silly when he smiles.
Chujiu looked around.
She has not met all the masters in Quyanghou's mansion, but according to her memory, there are no fools in this mansion, and such a person cannot be a servant.
"Sister, I'm lost, can you take me home?" the young man said innocently.
When Chujiu saw no one around, he walked over and said, "I don't know where your home is. Just wait here and I'll find someone else to help you."
The young man suddenly grabbed Chujiu and said, "I know the way, just follow me."
Chujiu felt vaguely strange that since he knew the way, why he had to help himself.
The young man was fat and had strong hands. Chujiu was very uncomfortable when he was caught, but he patiently said: "Let go of me and I will take you back."
Chujiu thought that maybe he was timid and wanted someone to keep him company.
The boy grabbed Chujiu and stood up unsteadily: "Okay, okay...go home, I want to go home, I will take my sister home, and I will be with my sister."
Chujiu didn't want to argue with an idiot, so she didn't correct the mistakes in his words, but followed him for a few steps.
"Mom, mom, where are you? I caught my sister." The young man danced, looking back at Chujiu as he walked.
Chujiu was dragged and staggered.
The boy shouted: "Sister is good-looking. I want to sleep with her. Let's sleep on the same kang, use the same quilt, and have a baby, hehe."
Chujiu was suddenly startled.
This young man is an idiot with a bad mind. These words sound like he heard them from others, and they are very targeted.
Suddenly, a guess jumped out of Chujiu's mind.
Could it be that this fool was deliberately placed here to wait for him?
Chujiu wanted to take out his hand, but the silly boy grabbed it harder.
The original owner was weak and petite. Compared with the tall and fat silly boy, there was a huge disparity in strength. However, Chujiu came from another world and had some skills that the original owner did not have. She used some clever tricks to transform herself from the silly boy. He broke free from his hand.
The silly boy was startled and screamed: "Take off your clothes quickly, I'm going to take off your clothes!"
Chujiu was now convinced that this was a plot against him.
