Chapter 102: Return to Beijing
Shen Gong's banquet invited people with status, and of course a little girl like Yuwen Yanshu was not qualified, so she could only nest in the Shen family and think with Dugu Auntie about how to run out and enjoy the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. The Shen family's access control is too strict, and they strictly require girls to be "demure and elegant", and they don't open up because they don't have the surname Shen.
It can only be said that the Shen family's family rules are mighty.
"Look, there's a hole here. ”
At this moment, Dugu Ling and Yuwen Yanshu had just sent Dugu Ling to the banquet, and they both held hands to visit the Shen family's garden.
Dugu Cheng brushed away the vines hanging down the rockery, the dense vines you pushed me and hung in front of a cave, if it wasn't for Dugu Aunt's boredom, poking around with a small wooden stick, you wouldn't find it.
Yuwen Yanshu probed and looked inside, the light in the cave was very dim, the ground was damp, and there were several small puddles as far as the eye could see. If you prick up your ears, you can hear the sound of dripping water.
"Go in and have a look?" Dugu Hui's eyes lit up, and her face was eager to try.
Yuwen Yanshu looked at the cave that was crooked and didn't know where to bend, and his head shook like a rattle. Just kidding, the previous encounter in the bamboo shed under the eastward flow bridge is still vivid. Who knows, there will be insects and ants hiding in the shadows or something, and it will be too cost-effective to take a bite.
"I'll go ahead. Dugu Cheng resolutely did not give up her expedition plan, "Let's go, let's go, I'll open the way." As he spoke, he picked up the wooden stick, pounded the ground, and dragged Yuwen Yanshu in.
The zigzag hole was surprisingly clean, as if someone had been cleaning it for a long time.
"There's nothing to see when you come in. Yuwen Yanshu looked left and right, no different from other caves, the uneven mountain walls, touching the hand, feeling cool and slippery.
"Heck, it's the interest that matters. Dugu glanced at her with disgust, did they come in to hunt for treasure, they found that kind of fun, the secluded place of the winding mountain, and the spiritual platform was clear.
The cave was not long, and after a few bends, I saw the light coming in from outside. The exit is very small, and Yuwen Yanshu and Dugu have to bend down to get out. As soon as you go out, there is an octagonal pavilion. The foundation of the pavilion is relatively high, which just blocks the entire entrance to the cave.
Someone is talking from above.
"I heard that she is the daughter of a general, she grew up in the frontier, how does she look? A very high-pitched female voice with a somewhat disdainful sneer.
"Nonsense, her mother was one of the two sisters in the capital back then, how ugly could she be?" another strange girl's voice sounded.
Hearing this, Yuwen Yanshu understood that these people were discussing themselves. Well, it's okay to discuss, who doesn't talk about people behind their backs, and who doesn't talk about people behind their backs. The point is, girls, can you please refrain from talking about her with such malicious words.
Yuwen Yanshu turned his head with black lines on his face and asked Dugu Hui: "Am I ugly?"
Dugu Cheng looked left and right, up and down, and pretended to look at it for a while: "It's okay, it's much better than others." ”
Yuwen Yanshu was speechless, who is this other person? Is it Xi Shi or Wuyan, is it Mengchi or Donggu?
"It's okay, that's it, hey, bring me the jade wheel......"
This voice was familiar to them, and after thinking about it, it was Shen Cike who was dressed up in flowers, and listening to her tone, it was clear that they didn't like her very much. This, I don't seem to have offended her.
Yuwen Yanshu made a "go over and see" mouth shape to Dugu Cheng.
Dugu also replied with a "together?".
Yuwen Yanshu nodded, and the two of them stood up, dusted off their bodies, and straightened their clothes.
"Ahem!" Dugu Cheng cleared his throat vigorously, and the sound of laughter in the pavilion disappeared at once.
The two walked into the pavilion. There were four girls sitting in the pavilion, in addition to the three who had just spoken, and Shen Cijiao who was holding the jade wheel. Everyone had a personal maid by their side, and the maid beside Shen Cijiao lowered her head with an angry face.
Yuwen Yanshu thought about it and understood, just now Shen Cike really asked Shen Cike to bring her something. This thought surprised her, Shen Cike was the serious concubine of the Shen Mansion, and Shen Cike was just a concubine. A concubine actually uses her concubine as a maid, and the elders of the Shen family don't care?
Yuwen Yanshu glanced at Dugu Hui, but she didn't seem to notice it. That's right, she's lived here for more than ten days, and she thinks she's seen it. It seems that this Shen Cike is not simple.
"What a coincidence, I met you here?" Dugu smiled and took the lead in greeting.
Shen Cijiao saw them turn out from behind the rockery, and remembered that the conversation in the pavilion just now might be heard by them. Even if she didn't participate in the discussion, she couldn't help but blush, kneading her clothes and sitting down, not knowing what to say.
However, Shen Cike's face changed a few times, and finally made a look like everything had happened, and said with a smile: "It's Sister Dugu, it's a coincidence, are you and Sister Yuwen coming to visit the garden?"
"Yes, your home is much more exquisite than mine, and the more I look at it, the more I love it. ”
"Then you can stay forever. Shen Cike said with a meaningful smile.
He Wanyu is very satisfied with Dugu Aunt, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and wants her to marry her second son.
Dugu Cheng didn't care, as if she didn't understand the meaning of her words, and said, "But I still prefer my family's chrysanthemum garden." ”
"Heh, our chrysanthemum garden is not bad. ”
"To each his own eye. Dugu lost the interest in talking to her.
This person is quite annoying, knowing that she doesn't want to marry Shen Haoliang, she always seizes the opportunity to make peace, and even says some specious things intentionally or unintentionally in front of some relatives and friends, so that others can misunderstand. She had already had a fire in her heart.
"Ah Jue, right, I heard my aunt say yesterday that you are good at needlework, can you let me see it?" Yuwen Yanshu smiled and pasted it, picked up Shen Cijiao and left.
The two strange women were dissatisfied with their ignorance, and one of them screamed: "Who are you, you don't say hello, you come when you say, you leave when you say, so uneducated." ”
Dugu Cheng also stuck to Shen Cijiao's side and took out a purse: "Ah Jue, my sister's embroidery is also good, this is her embroidered purse, what do you think?"
Although Shen Cijiao is a concubine, because her father Shen Rongyue doesn't like his wife, he doesn't want to see her children. Shen Cijiao and his younger brother Shen Haodong can only see their father at family banquets all year round. The mother was so preoccupied with her brother that she cared little about her.
She had never been taken so seriously, and for a moment she was overwhelmed and flattered by their enthusiasm. blushing and taking Dugu Cheng's hand, I saw a pair of cloud-piercing swallows embroidered on it. The two little swallows are lifelike and vivid, and each feather seems to be in full bloom.
"It's like being alive, my sister is so skillful. Shen Cijiao praised it very honestly.
This purse is obviously the result of the embroidery lady in the palace, Yuwen Yanshu silently embarrassed: "It's just embroidery, thank you for the compliment." ”
"Her craftsmanship is learned from the best embroidery girl in the palace, and the eldest aunt has always felt sorry for her, and everything is the best for her. As he spoke, he pretended to be jealous and glanced at Yuwen Yanshu.
The two of them held Shen Cijiao one on the left and one on the right, and pulled her away semi-coercively. From front to back, he didn't pay attention to the two strange girls in the pavilion, Dugu Cheng also said a few polite words to Shen Cike, and Yuwen Yanshu didn't even give them the corner of his eye. Only when there is no one else in the pavilion.
Shen Cijiao was sandwiched by the two of her and couldn't refuse. panicked in his heart, afraid that Shen Cike would be angry, and didn't dare to look up at her. just left aggrievedly, and the little maid behind her, with a relieved face, happily followed.
The little girl may have been suppressed for a long time, looking at Yuwen Yanshu and Dugu Cheng's eyes, just like looking at the savior.
As the saying goes, ignoring him is like dumping him. This phrase is used regardless of the class, and the higher the rank, the more you care about face.
The two girls who were completely ignored were angry, one was pale and the other was red. One of them wrung the handkerchief in his hand and said hatefully: "What kind of people, isn't there someone who supports them and looks at them frivolously?"
The other was also silvertooth bite: "Hmph, her father was changed by the saint on the spot, wait for the saint to rule, see what kind of smug she is?"
"Don't say it!" Shen Cike's face was not good-looking, but the Shen family's upbringing was relatively strict, and she didn't dare to express her inner dissatisfaction so bluntly, so she had to clench her fists. The long nails are embedded in the palms, if it weren't for the eldest aunt's bent desire to be her daughter-in-law, why would she please her to suffer such anger.
At this time, Yuwen Yanshu and the others had not gone far and vaguely heard their conversation.
"What are they talking about, how do I seem to hear the word "change of handsome". ”
Because his father is a general, Yuwen Yanshu is particularly sensitive to the word "handsome". The prefix of the word "change" made her even more worried.
"I didn't hear clearly. Dugu Cheng shook her head, she and Yuwen Yanshu didn't have the ear power of Qiu Chaoyang, who practiced martial arts. How much Yuwen Yanshu can listen to, naturally she is almost the same.
"The slaves and maids know that they are talking about the change of commanders. Shen Cijiao's personal little maid answered quickly.
"Do'er. Shen Cijiao, who has always been quiet and gentle, changed his previous silence and hurriedly drank to stop the maid.
The little maid also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and lowered her head in fright, no matter what Yuwen Yanshu asked, she didn't answer anymore.
Yuwen Yanshu saw that he couldn't ask anything from Ya Marriage, so he simply said directly to Shen Cijiao: "If you don't let her say it, then you say, if you don't say it, I'll ask my aunt and uncle." ”
Shen Cijiao was timid, and she panicked with fright: "I don't know, I don't know anything." ”
"Then I'll go to my aunt and say that you told me. Yuwen Yanshu shook her off and strode away.
"I said I said. Duo'er stepped forward and rushed in front of Yuwen Yanshu, she couldn't let Yuwen Yanshu go to Mrs. to ask. As soon as she went, Madame would surely know that she had spoken her mind. When the time comes, when Madame is angry, she will have to shed her skin if she does not die.
"Okay, you say, don't worry, I won't sue others for what you said. Yuwen Yanshu looked at the maid's wandering eyes and gave her a reassurance.
Duo'er got a guarantee, and hurriedly told her the news she knew: "The slave doesn't know much, but just now I heard the eldest girl chatting with Miss Zhang Wu and Miss Li Liu, saying that the general of the expedition in the northwest was changed in battle, and the person who was replaced was Miss Zhang's uncle." ”
Zhang Wu's uncle Zhang Wei was originally a general guarding southern Xinjiang, this person was born in a small town by Luoshui, without a background background, and he really started by military achievements. He now lives in the second grade, and he is also a general, the so-called one person has ascended to heaven, and the rest of the Zhang family has also benefited. Miss Zhang's father had a good brain, and he read some books when he was young, and he was one of the few people in the Zhang family who could get on the stage. naturally followed Zhang Wei and entered Zhang Wei's staff group.
When Yuwen Yanshu heard this, he pondered that the general of the Northwest Expedition was not his own father. Since my father went to the northwest, he has only corresponded with his eldest brother, and occasionally mentioned her, and when he mentioned it, don't be naughty, you have to listen to your brother's words and listen to your aunt's words.
Yuwen Zhihong is different from Yuwenyi, Yuwenyi raised her daughter as a boy, and held her in the palm of her hand, if she wants the stars to give the moon, if she wants to fight cocks, she will never be a lackey, and even the major events of the military aircraft will be told to her as a bedside story. So she almost relied on the news from others to piece together the situation of her father when he was away now.
"Don't look at me, I didn't hear any wind when I left. Dugu Cheng saw Yuwen Yanshu's inquisitive gaze fall on him, and hurriedly waved his hand.
When she left the capital, the capital was calm, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Jiangnan so smoothly.
"I'm going back to Beijing. Yuwen Yanshu stomped his feet, turned around, and hurriedly went to say goodbye to Mrs. Shen.
"Hey, wait for me, you wait for my brother to come back, and then we'll talk about it. ”
"I can't wait. ”
The master and servant who were thrown on the spot watched them blankly as they walked away.
"You're in trouble. ”
"Girl, the slave and the maid are also in every way, you have to help the slave and the maid. ”
"What can I do?" Shen Cijiao was extremely helpless. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the www.biquge.info (qidian.com) of Biquge to vote javascript:void(0);
