Chapter 35: Eat Alive
The servant woman casually continued: "Even the master's mother does not have such a preference for giving birth to a daughter, this is the master's favor to the girl, and the girl should remember it in her heart." ”
Wei Ji turned his gaze from Yudu back to the servant woman's face, this woman's eyes were ruthless, if it was a domestic servant, it was estimated that she was also one of the people who were sold cheaply after her father's accident in her previous life, she smiled: "Shu Jia Ge is clumsy, dare to ask my aunt if you are the one who teaches the 'Three Ways' and the 'Four Virtues'?"
The servant woman laughed: "The girl has tormented the old maid, how dare the old maid call everyone, but in the past two years, Sister Dai Ruizhu has reminded some ignorant newcomers to understand the rules of the house." ”
Wei Ji glanced at the gold and silver on the servant's head again, and the ayara on her body, seeing that she could move freely, she turned around and walked to the low couch against the wall and sat down, raised her hand to beckon Yudu to continue caressing:" As far as I know, the ancestors of the Wei family did not accumulate permanent property, and my father's annual income was less than 2,000 stones, and most of them were subsidized by him on the brothers who lived and died together in the army, and he did not have those side-by-side skills to make money, but I have seen the use of this house today, and you have food and clothing, and the furniture is excellent, so can you ask my aunt for advice, where does this expensive cost come from?"
The servant woman replied without thinking about it: "It's the master's mother who is virtuous, good at management, and knows how to run a house......
Wei Jian interrupted her: "My stepmother is the daughter of the Yu family, and I insisted on marrying my father as Mrs. Ru back then, because her family did not accompany the rich dowry, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, I really don't know, how did my stepmother do it from scratch?"
The servant's chin retracted little by little, and she stood for a long time before she said, "The mistress is in charge of the fields and shops left by the first lady. ”
Wei Jian made a trance: "It turns out that you are all enjoying the wealth left by my biological mother!"
The servant woman forced a smile and said, "The old maid remembers the kindness of the first lady. ”
Wei Jia nodded: "Yes." He added: "You just said that dinner is not to my liking, and you can make it for me again, but it is already so late, will it feel troublesome?"
The servant woman laughed and said: "What's the trouble, you must know that this is in the busy Linyi City, not the deserted and poor ravine, those rare things that the girls have never heard of can be seen everywhere, besides, there are always chickens, ducks and fish in the house, and you can't satisfy the girl?"
Wei Jian didn't raise his eyelids: "Do you have camel hoof soup?"
"This ......"
Wei Jia glanced at the servant: "No, do you have Wuchang fish?"
"That ......"
Wei Jia glanced at the servant woman again: "Not yet, there should always be a steamed dolphin, right?"
The servant woman snorted: "There is no suckling pig in the house tonight." ”
Wei Ji sneered: "It's all ordinary dishes of 'poor ravines', one or two don't have one, three don't have yet, this is deliberate slackness, right?"
Facing the guards who were suddenly imposing and majestic, far superior to Yu Jiang's, the servant woman was excited, feeling a double trembling, and barely supported it before she knelt down: "How dare the old maid snub the girl." ”
Wei Jian raised his eyebrows slightly: "There is no one in the house, since it can be seen everywhere outside, won't you go out to buy it?"
The servant woman subconsciously turned her head to look out the window: "But this hour......" couldn't go on, and finally fell to her knees with a thud.
Wei Jian stood up again: "Since he claims to teach people rules, if he doesn't understand, he will learn more, at least the etiquette on the surface can be generally passed, otherwise going out like this will make my 'good housekeeper' stepmother laugh at - look what kind of house slaves she has disciplined!" snorted coldly: "Don't say that you are a lowly old maid, it is my father, your lord must be cautious in his words and deeds when he mentions my master, and give me a snack when he speaks in the future!" Walked over from the servant woman who threw herself to the ground: " I know it's late, so I'll get up early in the future, and choose a few lighter ones to send to my sister's room. After a pause before going out, and when Yudu caught up, she said meaningfully: "By the way, I almost forgot to let my aunt know that my cat is big, so I eat rats, and I eat them alive, and the kind of eating ...... that is blurred in flesh and blood."
The servant woman trembled, but she continued to speak, and did not stand up until the guard was far away.
At the same time that the guards went to Yajia's room, the lights in the Wang family's mansion, all the houses and courtyards, were lit, and many people were waiting outside the gate, looking at the street.
After a while, there was the sound of horses stepping on stone slabs mixed with the sound of wheels rolling over and rolling, and among the waiting crowd, a few people with identity leaned forward, and sure enough, they saw the carriage and horses appear on the street, and soon arrived at the door.
The sedan chair headed by the leader stopped, and the man riding on a tall horse next to him, dressed in a dark green brocade robe, with thick eyebrows and a goatee, turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the groom who was already waiting on the side, turned around and walked to the sedan chair, and greeted an old man with white hair and deep eyes.
When everyone saw the old man, they all bowed down to salute the patriarch, yes, this is the old patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Luan, and the man in the dark green brocade robe is Wang Xuan's little uncle Wang Xiang.
Wang Luan appeared, nodded to everyone, raised his legs and walked, but after a few steps, he saw the goose-yellow figure falling behind the crowd and under the screen lamp of the gatehouse, Wang Luan slowed down, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter with that woman?"
Wang Xiang, who was walking behind him, hurriedly took two steps forward: "I'll send someone to deal with it immediately." ”
Seeing Wang Luan nodding, Wang Xiang retreated to the side, looked around, found the steward, and raised his hand to beckon him over: "Who released that jewel and let her stand in such an eye-catching place?"
The steward followed Wang Xiang's gaze and looked at Zhuji, the smile on his face stiffened, and then he nodded and said: "She heard that Shiyi Lang will come back tonight, so she came to me and said that she also wanted to come out to greet her, at first I didn't agree, but seeing that she was crying pitifully, I allowed her to walk out of the courtyard, but I didn't expect that she not only walked out of the courtyard, but also ran outside the gate." ”
Wang Xiang scolded sharply: "I have been shrewd for so many years, but I was confused by a few teardrops - this matter caused a storm in the city overnight, everyone knows it, even the patriarch feels a headache, and I don't know how to deal with it, it's good for you to let her out to show off, this is to tell the world that the rumors are true?"
The steward bent lower: "It was my dereliction of duty." ”
"Inform me, before the matter is concluded, whoever lets her take half a step out of the yard will give me no food and leave!"
In that room, Wang Luan walked vigorously, entered the main courtyard, entered the main hall, and after taking a seat, he took a sip of the tea served by the maid: "When will Little Eleven arrive?"
Without waiting for the retinue to reply, he heard the sound of footsteps behind the curtain, and Wang Luan said alertly: "Who?"
"Taigong ......" accompanied by a melodious call, and the young man in Xuan costume lifted the curtain and walked out.
When Wang Luan saw this young man, he was stunned for a moment, then put down the tea bowl and stood up, and stepped forward with a smile: "Eleven, you came back early?"
The descendants of the Wang family, who had come in with Wang Luan before, also came over to surround the young man.
The young man in Xuanfu stood up in the middle of the crowd, and did not answer immediately, and he muttered in a voice that said, "Why are you wearing black clothes?"
Hearing this, Wang Luan's eyes widened, and he carefully looked the young man in Xuanfu in front of him up and down, and said uncertainly: "Ah Xuan?"
The corners of the Xuanfu boy's mouth turned up slightly, he raised his hand to tear off the eye-covered brocade belt, and looked at Wang Luan's scrutinizing gaze: "Long time no see." ”
Staring at the young man's eyes, Wang Luan's face changed: "You ......" Looking at the people on both sides looking at each other, Wang Luan waved his hand and ordered in a dumb voice: "All retreat." ”
Everyone couldn't figure out what was going on, but none of them dared to ask him more, so they lowered their eyebrows and withdrew, and the two people who walked at the end also took the door for them.
It wasn't until he was completely quiet that Wang Luan said in a low voice, "Ah Jue?"
The young man smiled: "Yes, Taigong, I'm back!"
……
This night: The Wang family fell into a solemn atmosphere, and everyone was inexplicably uneasy.
This night: Huan Yu sat in a bumpy car, hurrying non-stop.
This night: Sima Run sat under the lamp, looking at Zhan Lu Jian.
This night: Wei Min wore a well-fitting red wedding dress and admired herself in the mirror.
This night: Yu Jiang was wrapped in a thin quilt and pasted it to Wei Yi's ear, and his eyebrows danced to depict the ideal bright future- After Wei Min marries Sima Run, let Sima Run go up and walk around, and transfer Wei Yi back, the Qiang people don't stop now, it's too dangerous to stay there, and at that time, she will give him a few more sons, which can be regarded as opening up branches for their Wei family; As for their son Wei Yuan, that is the eldest son and grandson of the Wei family, he can't let him go down his father's old path, and if he doesn't lead the troops to fight well, he will lose his life, and the future of the Wei family depends on this child, and he can't be careless, besides, this child has a pure nature, and he doesn't like to dance with knives and guns, and he can't see blood, so he still asked Sima Run to invite the current Hongru and teach him wholeheartedly, with her son's intelligence, in the future, it will be positioned as a great minister, and the ancestors will be glorified......
This night: The Wei sisters, who had not been mentioned by Yu Jiang for half a sentence, were full of food and drink, lying on the same bed with their foreheads against their foreheads, and whispered: "Yajia, what do you want our future home to look like......?"
"Song - It's ...... Home"
Early the next morning, Han Xiang came to report that Wei Yi and Yu Jiang had gone out early because of the moon sacrifice at night, and if their sisters wanted to eat anything, they would give an order and let the kitchen make it.
It wasn't until after lunch that Wei Yi and Yu Jiang returned home.
At that time, Wei Jia was lazily crooked on the soft couch, teasing Yudu and basking in the sun, watching Yajia squatting in the shade of the tree and concentrating on fiddling with the Kong Ming lock that Pei Rang gave her.
"Girl, the lord has sent an old maid to look for you. ”
