Chapter 40: Simon's Mansion
On the second day, the autumn was crisp, and it was really a good day, and Ma Rong waited outside Wujiaxiang's shop early with a soft sedan chair. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Jin Lian came out of the house with a yawn, and saw Honglian and Wu Da standing at the door with heavy dark circles under their eyes, and couldn't help but feel warm in their hearts, and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, Sister Honglian, you guys are so early!"
"Jin Lian, they are already waiting outside," Honglian took Jin Lian's hand and walked to the next room, where there were a few side dishes on the table and a bowl of steaming white porridge.
Jin Lian finished washing up in a hurry, then sat down at the table, and saw the two of them following her step by step, "You two also sit down, hurry up and eat, and talk about anything after eating." ”
Wuda Honglian looked at each other for a moment, and they all shook their heads, "We have already eaten, these are reserved for you, you hurry up and eat them." ”
Jin Lian didn't know what they were thinking, sighed lightly, and then ate breakfast without hurrying.
Last night, Jin Lian had already explained everything, so after eating, Jin Lian just said softly, and sat in the soft sedan chair under the reluctant eyes of Honglian and Wu Da.
"Brother Wu, I always feel panicked, Jin Lian will be fine, right?" Honglian muttered in a low voice, in fact, she didn't expect Wu Da to give her any answers, she just felt that she didn't know the bottom of her heart.
"Red Lotus, since Sister Jin Lian has gone, she must have made a perfect plan, we must have confidence in her, she will definitely return safely. Wu Da's tone was categorical, which surprised Honglian, and the worries in her heart disappeared a lot.
Ximen Mansion is located in the east of Yanggu County, where a radius of several miles live are noble and wealthy, Ximen Qing is the number one person in Yanggu County, and his mansion is naturally built magnificently.
Walking from Shatang Street, the distance is not close, the sedan chair is swaying, and Jin Lian almost fell asleep again. It wasn't until the sedan chair stopped that I heard Ma Rong shouting respectfully outside, "Miss Pan, it's here." ”
The voice was not loud, but it sent away her little residual sleepiness, she opened her eyes, was stunned for a while, then lifted the sedan curtain, and walked out slowly.
Today, she is dressed more plainly, with a black hair lightly tied up in a bun, a jasper hairpin is inserted obliquely on it, and the rest of the hair is draped over her shoulders, and her skin is as bright as jade.
She raised her face, and saw that the golden plaque of the three words "Ximen Mansion" was placed above the mahogany gate, and there was a stone lion with a realistic image on each side, at this time the gate was tightly closed, only the side door was open, and a few people dressed as family members at the door were waiting there, each with a tiger on their backs, with a majestic expression, and it didn't look like they were greeting people, but they came to give off the horse.
Ma Rong's face was a little embarrassed, he glared at the person in charge, the man's eyes shrank, but he stood there motionless.
Jin Lian looked at everything in front of her with interest, at this time she hoped that these people could make a bigger fuss and make it out of control, and she also had an excuse not to go in, wouldn't it be happy!
"Sixth, the distinguished guests have arrived, you go and open the door," Ma Rong obviously didn't want to talk to them anymore, and ordered directly. Early this morning, Ximen Qingying made an appointment to go to Zhou Shoubei's mansion, and when he left, he repeatedly instructed himself to bring this woman to the mansion safely.
"Brother Ma, the younger brother also has an order, our wife said, although this woman was invited by a big official, but her status is low, and she has killed people, such a vicious person, I am afraid of colliding with the ancestors, so if she wants to enter the mansion, she must be a pioneer evil. Wang Liu said with a glance, and the fierce and obscene * evil * eyes stared straight at Jin Lian, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, which was disgusting.
"Bastard thing, Miss Pan is a distinguished guest invited by a big official, you do this, but you want to disobey the official's order?" Ma Rong stared at him fiercely, this Wang Liute is not a thing, relying on himself to be Wu Yueniang's godbrother, arrogant and domineering in the mansion, and repeatedly ruined the affairs of the officials, if it weren't for the intercession of the lady, Wang Liu would have been kicked out of the mansion long ago, but he didn't expect that he still didn't recognize who the master of this mansion was at this moment.
Wang Liu snorted coldly, "Brother Ma, it's not that I disobey the official's order, I'm also for the good of the official, the ancestor will have a big birthday in a few days, if this evil woman collides with the blessing, the consequences are not something you and I can bear, besides, I don't want to let her enter the mansion, but I just get rid of the evil qi on her body first, and then let her enter the mansion." ”
"You," Ma Rong was about to say more, but was interrupted by a female voice that suddenly appeared.
"Ma Rong, isn't it just to let her enter the mansion at night, what's the big deal, if the official asks, I will explain. The woman's face is like a silver plate, her eyes are like apricots, the cicada is like a crow, she has a few golden hairpins with unique shapes, and her upper body is wearing a red and gold embroidered short jacket, and a delicate green lantern skirt below, dignified and beautiful, which makes people's eyes shine, and it is actually Wu Yueniang, the wife of Ximen Qing.
She was followed by two maids in turquoise dresses, and the group of three people walked slowly, their eyes falling on Jin Lian, with provocation and disdain in their eyes.
At this time, it was already three o'clock, the autumn sun was shining, with a hint of warmth, and a breeze blew, driving the black silk of the plain-clothed woman, with a faint smile on the flawless face of the white jade.
Ignoring the provocation in their eyes, Jin Lian secretly laughed in her heart, she hadn't entered the mansion yet, this lady was like this, it seemed that the future would not be too peaceful.
Although Wu Yueniang has never seen Jin Lian, she has long regarded her as a fox who seduces officials, as a result, when she sees it today, she only feels that her heart has been hit hard, since she followed Ximen Qing, he has married several ladies in a row, which one is not as beautiful as a flower, of course she is not bad, but compared with the woman in front of her, it seems that there is a lot less charm.
This woman's dress is not even as good as the two maids behind her, and the hair ornament on her head is also very simple, but such a plain face makes her breathe as a woman, and there is a strong jealousy in her heart, how can there be such a beautiful and elegant woman in the world, that kind of confidence and indifference, as if proud of the whole world, there is nothing to put in your eyes.
The more Wu Yueniang looked at it, the more uncomfortable it was in her heart, and what bred it was the hatred of wanting to destroy, she stared at Jin Lian coldly, and suddenly said, "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you bring things over, the master will come back in a while, do you still want him to worry about this heart?"
At this moment, Ma Rong's face was extremely ugly, although he wanted to stop it, but as a slave of Ximen Mansion, he didn't have the courage to stand up to the lady in charge.
He turned around and saw a woman with a calm face, and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since this woman is valued by the master, she naturally has her ability, and it depends on how she deals with it this time!
