My wife is frail and sickly

The courtyard where Lianqiu took Shen Xiaolou was quite remote. It faced a pond and the trees covered most of the courtyard.

The yard had only been tidied up hastily, and everything looked desolate.The house is pretty good, with three main rooms and a side room.The thatched mud house she lived in on Zhuangzi was considered a mansion.

Lianqiu followed her and said, "How nice this yard is, with trees providing shade and facing a pond. It's so cool!"

Shen Xiaolou clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the roof. The shade of the trees not only covered the yard, but also the roof.She said expressionlessly: "Well, it's cool in summer, but how cold is winter! Being close to the water, there must be a lot of mosquitoes at night, right?"

"So that the eldest lady knows that winter in Beijing is already cold. In November, charcoal is burned in the house. There are braziers and hand stoves. The soup lady can't freeze. As for mosquitoes in summer, there are tents, eldest lady. Don't worry at all." Lianqiu explained softly.

Shen Xiaolou glanced at her and sneered, "As expected of the people around Madam, she is considerate. However, this courtyard is gloomy and there is not enough yang energy. Women are inherently yin. If they live here for a long time, their health will definitely deteriorate." Big problem. I already lost money on Zhuangzi. This yard is not conducive for me to recuperate my body. Let’s go.”

"Where to go?" Lianqiu asked subconsciously.

"Go and see other courtyards." The Changping Marquis Mansion was so big, she couldn't believe that this was the only ruined courtyard left.

Lianqiu was a little dumbfounded, "Madam arranged for you to live here."

Shen Xiaolou stopped and turned to look at Lianqiu, "Don't you understand what I say? I don't like to live in a place with a strong negative energy."

Lianqiu......

In such a moment of confusion, Shen Xiaolou had already walked far away. She hurriedly chased after him, "Miss, where are you going? Wait, slave."

Shen Xiaolou turned a deaf ear. She was a slave and could not be the master, so she was too lazy to listen to her nonsense. Business was more important.

More than half an hour later, Shen Xiaolou came back, followed by a sweaty Lian Qiu.

Mrs. Lin was slightly surprised to see her coming back, but she quickly asked with a smile: "Have you seen the yard? Are you satisfied, Miss?"

"Not satisfied." Shen Xiaolou said directly: "The Yin energy in that courtyard is too strong, which is not good for me. It suppresses me. Madam, please give me another place to live."

Ms. Lin was startled for a moment, then she laughed dumbly, "Miss, you really know how to joke." He didn't take her words seriously.

"I'm serious." Shen Xiaolou looked serious. "Before I came, the blind man in the village gave me a divination. He said that my destiny was very good and that my trip back home would be smooth. Whoever brought me If they cause trouble or make me feel uncomfortable, it's definitely not my fault, it's the other party's overpowering me. As soon as I entered that yard, I got goosebumps all over my body, it must be that place overcoming me."

"How can you say this? In the village? That blind money man is probably a swindler. Don't let the young lady be deceived by him." Mrs. Lin patiently persuaded.

"No, he is very accurate in divination. The money blind man has never been ostentatious, it is others who ask him for divination with money." Shen Xiaolou argued, looked at Mrs. Lin and asked her: "You said so much, don't you want to Change the yard for me?”

"This is really an injustice to me. Miss, you don't know that there are many people in our house. It's not that I don't want to change it for you. I really don't have any spare yard. Otherwise..."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Qingya barged in, pointed at Shen Xiaolou, and said very angrily, "Mom, who is she? Why does she want to live in my yard?"

"Yaya, please don't be rude." Lin was startled and saw the familiar smile on Shen Xiaolou's face. She somehow had an ominous premonition, "Yaya, this is your eldest sister. She has been living in Zhuangzi. , that’s why you haven’t seen it.”

She gave her daughter a wink to signal her not to cause trouble.

Shen Qingya was so angry that she didn't notice her mother winking at her and saying angrily: "I don't have a sister? Is she worthy? Mother, you don't know that this person came to my yard out of nowhere and said: She came to the yard where I live and wants to rob my yard. Mom, I don’t want to see her, so drive her out.”

"Yaya!" Mrs. Lin's face sank and she stopped her.Shen Qingya was aggrieved, "Mom, my daughter was bullied, and you are still cruel to me!" She was really not like this at ordinary times. Mrs. Lin was very attentive to her teachings. Apart from being a little arrogant, Shen Qingya was also very sensible and polite.But after all, she was still young, and her brothers and sisters in the house were all giving in to her. Shen Xiaolou had never been seen like this. He was so angry after just a few looks and a few words from her.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Lin glanced at Shen Xiaolou and then looked at Lianqiu.

Lianqiu gritted her teeth and replied, "To Madam, if you didn't like the eldest lady of the yard you chose, so... I went to the eldest..." She glanced at Shen Qingya and felt worried. They couldn't call both of them eldest ladies. ?But if she changed her name to Second Miss, the original eldest lady would definitely not be happy, so she mumbled, "...and the eldest young master and their yard, talk, talk..." She hesitated, it was really hard to learn what she said, and she was afraid that she would learn it. The wife will blame her for not doing things well.Shen Xiaolou couldn't see her acting like this, so he snorted coldly and said, "You're such a bad girl, you can't even learn a word. I'll tell you for you."

She cleared her throat and turned to look at Mrs. Lin, "I heard that you and my father gave me another sister and three brothers. Is this the sister who is one year younger than me? She is dressed in silk and satin and has a fine skin. Those with tender meat are more blessed than me. But this is what I think. We are both father’s daughters, and no one is inferior to the other. There is no reason for you to live in a good courtyard while I live in a poor one! Madam, I don’t ask too much. Just be the same as them, whether it’s the yard or the furnishings in the house, everyone should be the same.”

"Oh, there is no unused yard, right? Then give me their yard in exchange. I have seen their yards and I like them all. Anyone can change them. Don't be dissatisfied. Who makes me the eldest sister?"

Shen Qingya was furious first, "Why are you robbing my yard?"

"Didn't I tell you? I am the eldest sister." Shen Xiaolou looked caring for mentally retarded children. "Does Kong Rong let Li understand? Grandma said that the government hired a female teacher. How did you learn your homework?"

"Why didn't you let me go?" Shen Qingya was almost furious.

Shen Xiaolou rolled his eyes, "Kong Rong gave the big pear to his brother and sister, and he ate the small one. The small one gave the big pear to show respect."

"It's a sign of courtesy that the big one gives way to the small one."

"Do you know that a eldest sister is like a mother? Your mother didn't teach you well, so I will discipline you for her. Believe it or not, I will slap you!" Shen Xiaolou raised his hand to scare her.

Shen Qingya glared at Shen Xiaolou and immediately stamped her feet to complain to her mother, "Mom, you see she is going to beat me, please drive her out quickly."

"Give one a try!"

"Okay, stop arguing!" Mrs. Lin's face turned livid with anger, "You sisters are all grown up girls, how is it appropriate to make such a noise?"

Shen Xiaolou looked at Shen Qingya leisurely, "What about you, how do you look like you? You don't look like you!"

Shen Qingya was so angry that she wanted to slap her directly, "You..."

"Can you compare with me? You are the pampered daughter of the Marquis's family, well-educated, dignified and generous. But I grew up barbaric in Zhuangzi with no one to control or teach me. Are you embarrassed to compare with me?"

"Okay, please stop saying a few words." Mrs. Lin's face was very ugly, but she couldn't get angry. She had to discuss it with Shen Xiaolou in a nice voice, "Miss, do you think this is okay? You don't like the yard?" There was no sunlight, so I asked my servants to cut down the trees."

Shen Xiaolou disagreed, "Can you fill in the pond too?"

That's definitely not possible. Cutting down trees is already her limit, and she won't mobilize all the troops for this dead girl.

Secretly suppressing her anger, Mrs. Lin added: "They have lived in their courtyard for so many years. It is really troublesome to move it up. You robbed your sister's courtyard when you first returned to the Marquis Mansion. It will not be good for your reputation if word spreads..."

Shen Xiaolou looked at her steadily and said, "I don't mind the trouble, and I don't care about reputation. How come it's a robbery? It's obvious that my younger brothers and sisters sympathized with me for suffering a lot in Zhuangzi and gave it to me. Such a small thing in the house. It can be spread out, madam, your housekeeping skills are not good enough!"

Mrs. Lin's face was particularly ugly. She had never encountered such an unreasonable and troublesome person.

Shen Xiaolou felt that he had been very reasonable, "I have suffered so much and suffered so much, shouldn't I be compensated? Is it too much for me to choose a pleasant courtyard? If not, let's find outsiders to judge. Where can I go? I make sense. Aren't there a lot of noble people in Beijing? Let's find some highly respected people, such as princesses, princesses, and so on, and ask them to tell me whether they can choose the courtyard in my situation."

"Madam, have you decided who will give me the yard? It doesn't matter if you can't change it for a while. Madam, the yard is big and there must be room available. I don't mind making do with it for a few days." I hate you to death.

She really doesn't know how to fight in a house, she is straight forward.

Lin's...
