The fourth wife, Song Lian, was nineteen years old when she was carried into the garden of the Chen family. She was carried into the back door on the west side of the garden by four country bearers in the evening. The servants were washing old wool by the well when they saw the sedan chair quietly coming out Squeezing in through the Moon Gate, a female student in a white dress and black skirt came down.The servants thought it was the eldest lady who was studying in Peiping, but when they went up to meet her, she was a tired and dusty female student.That year, Song Lian had short ear-length hair tied with a sky-blue ribbon. Her face was round and without makeup, but she looked a little pale.Song Lian got out of the sedan chair, stood on the grass and looked around blankly, there was a rattan box under the black skirt.Under the autumn sun, Song Lian's figure was thin and slender, exuding a dull aura like a paper doll.She raised her arm to wipe the sweat from her face, and the servants were impressed by noticing that she wiped it not with a handkerchief but with a sleeve.

Song Lian walked to the well, and she said to Yan'er who was washing wool, "Let me wash my face, I haven't washed my face in three days." Yan'er hung a bucket of water for her, and watched her bury her face in the water In the middle of the day, Song Lian's arched body was being hit by something like a waist drum, and it was shaking.Yan'er said, "Do you want soap?" Song Lian didn't speak, Yan'er said again, "Is the water too cold?" Song Lian still didn't speak.Yan'er winked at the other maids by the well, covered her mouth and smiled.The maids guessed that the visitor was some poor relative of the Chen family.They were able to identify almost all the visitors of the Chen family.It was probably at this time that Song Lian suddenly turned her head, her face showed a more striking chill after washing, her eyebrows were very thin and black, and they were gradually furrowed.Song Lian glanced at Yan'er, she said, "Why are you smirking, why don't you pour the water away?" Yan'er was still smiling, "Who are you, so powerful?" Song Lian rubbed Yan'er, Picking up the rattan box and leaving the well, after walking a few steps, she turned her head and said, "Who am I? You will know sooner or later."

The next day, everyone in the Chen family knew that Mr. Chen Zuoqian had married the Fourth Grandmother, Songlian.Song Lian lived in the south wing of the back garden, next to the residence of the Third Grandma Meishan.Chen Zuoqian made Yan'er, who was in the servant's room, a maidservant for the Si Taitai. When Yan'er went to see Song Lian the next day, she was timid and lowered her head and called out to Mrs. Si, but Song Lian had already forgotten how Yan'er bumped into her, or Song Lian didn't remember who Yan'er was at all.Song Lian changed into a pink silk cheongsam and a pair of embroidered slippers on her feet. Her complexion recovered overnight, and she looked much more amiable. Saqian said that she was not annoying in appearance.Then she said to Yan'er, squat down and let me see your hair.Yan'er squatted down and felt Song Lian's hand picking her hair, inspecting something carefully, and then she heard Song Lian say: "You don't have lice, do you? I'm most afraid of lice." Yan'er bit her lip and said nothing, she thought Song Lian's hand cut her hair like a cold blade, and it hurt a little.Song Lian said, "What's the smell on your hair? It's really bad, go wash your hair with a piece of soap." Yan'er stood up, and she stood there with her hands down.Chen Zuoqian glared at her, "Didn't you hear the Fourth Wife?" Yan'er said, "I just washed my hair yesterday." Chen Zuoqian shouted loudly, "Don't talk nonsense, if you tell me to wash it, you have to wash it, be careful and beat you. "

Yan'er took a basin of water to wash her hair under the crabapple tree, she felt wronged after washing, and the anger and hatred in her heart fell there like a piece of iron.The afternoon sun shines on two crabapple trees, a clothesline is tied to the two trees, and the white dresses and black skirts of the four big eucalyptus sway in the breeze.Yan'er looked around, but there was no one in the back garden. She went to the clothes fly, and spit on Song Lian's white shirt, and then spit on the black dress. Chen Zuoqian happened to be fifty this year.When Chen Zuoqian was fifty years old, he took Songlian as his concubine, and the matter was carried out in a semi-secret state.Until the day before Song Peng came in, Yu Ru, the first wife, still didn't know about it.Chen Zuoqian takes Songlian to see Yuru.Yuru was twisting Buddhist beads and chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall.Chen Zuoqian said, this is the eldest wife.Just as Song Lian was about to go up to salute, the beads in Yu Ru's hand suddenly broke and rolled to the ground. Yu Ru pushed aside the mahogany chair to pick up the beads, muttering, sin, sin.Song Lian helped her to pick it up, but Yu Ru gently pushed her away, she said, sin, sin, she never raised her eyes to look at Song Lian.Song Lian looked at Yu Ru's obese body lying on the wet floor picking up Buddhist beads, covered her mouth and smiled silently, she looked at Chen Zuoqian, and Chen Zuoqian said, okay, let's go.Song Lian stepped out of the threshold of the Buddhist hall, took Chen Zuoqian's arm and said, "She is a hundred years old, isn't she so old?" Chen Zuoqian didn't speak, Song Lian said again, "She believes in Buddhism? Why do you chant scriptures at home? " Chen Zuoqian said, "What do you believe in Buddhism?

Song Lian received warm courtesy from the second wife Zhuo Yun.Zhuo Yun asked the maid to entertain Songlian with watermelon seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and various candied fruit.After they sat down, Zhuo Yun's first thing was to talk about melon seeds, there are no good melon seeds here, and all the melon seeds I ate were bought from Suzhou by someone.Song Lian had been eating melon seeds at Zhuo Yun's for a long time, and she was a little bored. She didn't like these snacks, and she didn't like to show it. Stay for a while, turn a blind eye to Song Lian's eyes.From this, Song Lian judged that Chen Zuoqian loved Zhuo Yun, so her eyes couldn't help but stay on Zhuo Yun's face and body.Zhuo Yun's appearance has a kind of gentle and delicate, even the slight wrinkles and slightly sagging skin can't hide it, and there is a ladylike demeanor in every gesture.Song Lian thought, a woman like Zhuo Yun is easy to please men, and women won't hate her too much.Song Lian quickly called Sister Zhuo Yun.

Among the three wives in the Chen family, Mei Shan was the closest to Song Lian, but she was the last one she saw.Song Lian had long heard of Mei Shan's stunning appearance, and wanted to see her wholeheartedly, but Chen Zuoqian refused to take her there.He said, so close, you go by yourself.Song Lian said, I've been there, but the maid said she was sick and blocked the door to let me in.Chen Zuoqian snorted loudly, calling her sick whenever she was upset.She also said that she wanted to climb on my head.Songlian said, do you let her climb?Chen Zuoqian waved his hand and said, don't even think about it, a woman will never be able to climb on top of a man.

Song Lian walked through the north wing, and saw that Meishan's window was hung with pink muslin curtains, and there was a scent of grass and flowers in the room.Song Lian stood in front of the window for a while, and suddenly couldn't help the desire to peep in her heart. She held her breath and gently opened the curtain. This move almost scared Song Lian out of her body. Mei Shan behind the curtain was also watching Her eyes collided with each other, and Song Lian ran away in a panic. At night, Chen Zuoqian came to Songlian's room to spend the night.Song Lian took off his clothes for him and put on pajamas, Chen Zuoqian said, I don't wear pajamas, I like to sleep naked.Song Lian looked away and said, whatever you want, but it's better to wear pajamas, because you will catch cold.Chen Zuoqian laughed, you are not afraid that I will catch a cold, but you are afraid of seeing my bare butt.Song Lian said, I am not afraid.Her cheeks were already flushed when she turned her face away.This was the first time she saw Chen Zuoqian's body clearly. Chen Zuoqian was shaped like a crane, thin and slender, and his genitals were stretched like a bow.Song Lian was a little breathless, she said, why are you so thin?Chen Zuoqian climbed onto the bed, got into the silk quilt and said, let them dig it out.

Song Lian turned to turn off the light, but was stopped by Chen Zuoqian. Chen Zuoqian said, don't turn it off, I want to see you. Turn off the light and you won't be able to see anything.Song Lian touched his face and said, whatever you want, I don't understand anything anyway, so listen to you. Song Lian seemed to fall from a high place into a dark valley, pain and dizziness accompanied by a sense of relief.The strange thing is that Mei Shan's face keeps appearing in his consciousness.That beautiful face was also lost in the darkness.Song Lian said, she is really weird.Who are you talking about?Miss San, she was looking at me from behind the curtain.Chen Zuoqian moved his hand from Song Lian's breasts to his lips, don't speak, don't speak now.It was at this time that the door was knocked lightly twice.Both of them were startled, Chen Zuoqian shook his head towards Songlian, and turned off the light.After a while, there was another knock on the door. .Chen Zuogan jumped up and shouted angrily, who knocked on the door?A timid girl's voice sounded outside the door. The third wife was ill and called the master.Ji Zuoqian said, lie, lie again, go back and tell her that I fell asleep.The girl outside the door said, the third wife has a sudden illness, so you must go.She said she was dying.Chen Zuoqian sat on the bed and thought for a while, then said to himself what tricks she was playing.Seeing his dilemma, Song Lian gave him a push, and you go, it's hard to say if you're really dead.

Chen Zuoqian did not come back that night.Song Lian listened attentively to the movement in the north wing, as if nothing happened.Only the robin sang a few times on the pomegranate tree, leaving a desolate and distant lingering sound.Song Lian couldn't fall asleep, she was in a state of melancholy and sorrow, and when she got up early the next day to do her makeup, she saw a profound change in her face, the circles around her eyes were dark blue.Song Lian already knew what was going on with Mei Shan, but when she saw Chen Zuoqian coming out of the north wing the next day, Song Lian still went up to ask about Mei Shan's condition; did you call for a doctor for the third wife?Chen Zuoqian shook his head in embarrassment, his face was full of tiredness, he didn't bother to say anything, he just squeezed Song Lian's hand softly.

Song Lian married Chen Zuoqian after attending university for a year. The reason was simple. The tea factory run by Song Lian's father had closed down and there was no money to pay her expenses.On the third day after Song Lian dropped out of school and returned home, she heard her family screaming in the kitchen. She ran over and saw her father leaning against the pool, which was full of blood and bubbles.Father cut the vein on his hand and walked on Huangquan Road easily.Song Lian remembered her feeling of despair at that time, she held her father's cold body, and she herself was colder than the corpse.She couldn't cry at all when the disaster came.The pool was not used for several days, and Song Lian still washed her hair in the pool.Song Lian did not have the needless cowardice and fear of ordinary girls.She is practical.Once her father died, she had to take care of herself.By the pool, Song Lian combed and washed her hair again and again, in order to calmly anticipate her future life.So when the stepmother later showed her cards and asked her to choose between working and marrying, she replied calmly, of course marrying.The stepmother asked again, do you want to marry an ordinary family or a rich family?Song Lian said, of course there are rich people, so why not ask? "The stepmother said, that's different. To go to a rich family is to be a child. Songlian said, what is a child? The stepmother thought about it and said, it's just being a concubine, and the status is a bit wronged. Songlian sneered, and the status What is it? Is fame considered by people like me? Anyway, I will sell it to you. If you care about your father's affection, sell me to a good owner.

Chen Zuoqian went to see Songlian for the first time.Song Lian closed the door and didn't see her. She threw a word through the door and went to the western restaurant to meet her.Chen Zuoqian thought that she was a female student after all, so there was always something different about it, so he reserved two places in the restaurant and waited for Song Lian to come.It was raining south that day, and Chen Zuoqian watched the drizzled street outside through the window, feeling novel and warm, which was unprecedented in his previous three marriages.Song Lian came slowly with a fine flowered silk umbrella, and Chen Zuoqian smiled happily.Song Lian was indeed as beautiful and clean as he imagined, and she was so young.Chen Zuoqian remembered that Song Lian sat down opposite him, took out a large handful of small candles from her bag, and she said softly to Chen Zuoqian, please ask me for a box of cakes.Chen Zuoqian asked the waiter to bring the cake, and then he saw Song Lian inserting small candles one by one, a total of nineteen were inserted, and she took the remaining one back into the bag.Chen Zuoqian said, what is this for, is your birthday today?Song Lian just smiled, she lit the candle and watched the candle light up a small flame.Song Lian's face became exquisite and translucent in the candlelight, she said, look how lovely this flame is.Chen Zuoqian said it was cute.After saying that, Song Lian let out a long breath, and blew out the candle with a puff.Chen Zuoqian heard her say, celebrate your birthday early, the nineteenth year is over. Chen Zuoqian felt that there was an aftertaste in Songlian's words, until later he often thought of the scene of Songlian blowing out the candles that day, which made him feel a certain subtle and charming power in Songlian.As a man with rich sexual experience, Chen Zuoqian is more infatuated with Songlian's enthusiasm and alertness in bed.He seemed to have seen all kinds of ecstasy when he first met Song Lian, and it was confirmed later.It's hard to judge whether Song Lian's nature is like this or flattery, but Chen Zuoqian is very satisfied. His love for Song Lian is seen by everyone in the Chen family.
