Chapter Seventy-Five: Private Meeting
An hour later, Shen Moyun and Guo Jia were finally full, and the two of them felt their round bellies and lay down on the Xiangfei couch to rest.
Yao Huang and the cold-faced maid were being called up at this moment, and continued to "clean up" the table of "leftovers and cold burning".
Although it was "leftovers", the table full of almost untouched delicacies still made the two stunned.
I don't want to, the cold-faced maid's face is even colder, and it can even be said that her face is pale, and even her voice is a little awe-inspiring: "Miss, you didn't feel at ease when you said it, master?" You're doing such nonsense, this time the slave won't cover it up for you anymore! You'd better go to the lord as soon as possible and take the initiative to receive the punishment, so as not to make it difficult for the slave to do it! β
Shen Moyun was confused when he heard this, and said in his heart that the General's Mansion was humble and strict, how could a maid dare to point fingers at her own young lady in front of the guests?
I don't want to, then Guo Jia jumped up in anger in an instant, "You dead girl, don't use my father to press me!" Don't think that my aunt and grandmother don't know, you **** follow me, you are spying on me, and report to my father as soon as there is a little trouble! Are you my man or my dad's man? β
The cold-faced maid didn't even raise her eyelids, and said coldly: "The slave maid is naturally a young lady!" The young lady knows that the slave maid has always helped but not the relatives. If the lady does something wrong, she should be punished! β
"Haha! Then you are doomed to be disappointed today! Today's meal, it is General Cui who is the east, and Miss Ben is just in charge of ordering! β
"Then it's even more punishable! The general charged into battle on the battlefield, and the military merit money earned by the bloody battle was not so squandered by the young lady! β
"You-you white-eyed wolf!" Guo Jia was choked for a while, and looked at Shen Moyun with a look of help.
It turns out that this Guo Jia has always been cool and good food, but in the northern military camp, **** is a big pot stove, a meal for 100 people, coarse rice and rough soup, how can there be a little food, and occasionally a game, it is only enough to stuff a gap.
Even the usual garrison of the towns. Most of them are also cooked meat and mutton soup, which is half a point of delicate and delicious, delicious food with color and flavor.
So, on the way back to Beijing from Guo Jia, he went to the capital for a few days. She began a vindictive search for food. I have eaten all the famous food taverns along the road from the north to the south, not to mention, and even the large and small restaurants and taverns around the capital of Shuntianfu have been eaten, and this Miss Guo is afraid that any food will be missed, and every time she makes a move, it is a big table of dishes, and she can't finish it. Even the maid and coachman around him were scared.
Such extravagance and waste not only damaged the prestige of the General's Mansion, but also damaged the reputation of Guo Jia's daughter's family. Her father **** was so angry this time, this girl is thirteen, she is already the age of marriage, but she is still doing such nonsense, who will dare to marry her in the future?
So, five days ago, **** called all the girls and mothers-in-law who served her daughter and the coachman to lecture them alone, and I don't know what to say, anyway, these people have been talking to **** all over the place since then. They followed her like a thief, and they didn't allow her to eat or drink at will.
At this moment, receiving Guo Jia's frequent signals for help, Shen Moyun had no choice but to get up and smile: "What is this sister called?" β
The slave smiled.
ββ¦β¦β
Shen Moyun was obviously stunned when he heard this, such a cold-faced person who said little talk was actually called a joke?
Seeing Guo Jia laughing out loud, even Yao Huang, who has always been cautious, is holding back a smile at the moment, no need to guess, this name must be given by her unreliable master.
After glancing at Guo Jia fiercely, Shen Moyun smiled again: "My sister Guo is too jumpy, and there is a joke around her that a loyal girl like you looks very good." Although I had only known her for a few days, I knew that she was a stubborn one. You have been so strict with her that you will be able to keep her from many evils. Come, this is my reward for your faithful protector of the Lord. Hello look at her. If she comes again in the future, you come to me, and Shen Moyun will be rewarded! β
As he spoke, Shen Moyun took off a red gold ring from his finger and stuffed it into Xiao Yan's hand. In fact, she is quite unaccustomed to Guo Jia's generosity today, and this table of delicacies is worth a year's expenses of a medium-sized family. This kind of extravagance is unbearable for her silent clouds.
"Hey! Silent clouds. Are you helping me or cheating on me? β
Shen Moyun also ignored Guo Jia, and smiled at the maid like a spring breeze, "Today, Sister Guo wants to entertain me, and when she is happy, she orders a few more dishes, presumably General Cui will not blame Sister Guo." Sister Xiaoyan is generous, don't worry about Sister Guo today! β
The smile **** followed Guo Jia, and he already knew what Cui Yiheng and Shen Moyun were, and when she heard her say this, she was more sure of her thoughts. What does the general have to do with paying for the woman he likes? The face of this quasi-"general's wife" still has to be given! After hearing this, she loosened her tense face and nodded.
Shen Moyun called the maid again, packed a few snacks on the table that had not moved, and stuffed them into Guo Jia's hands.
The girl retracted her hand and refused to take it, "It's not delicious!" I don't want it! β
Shen Moyun knocked on her head and said angrily, "Aren't you going to send me home?" It's kind to bring some gifts! β
β¦β¦
When Shen Moyun returned to the Shen Mansion with Guo Jia, it was almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as she entered the second door, she saw Lan Xin, who was in a hurry and stumbling back and forth like ants in a hot pot.
Seeing that Shen Moyun was still coming, Guo Jia and the others, Lan Xin could only be so anxious that he pulled Shen Moyun aside and muttered.
"Girl, you're back! Something is wrong! β
"Oh! I didn't expect it to reach your ears so quickly. β
"The girl knows everything? How do you know? Why isn't the girl in a hurry, this matter is in the way of the girl's reputation after all! β
"What's the hurry? Am I not coming back? When I see the old lady, I will know what is going on! β
"What did the girl say? It's just ahead! Nalan was so anxious that her two beautiful eyebrows were about to knot.
"What's ahead?"
"The second son of the Chen family! Didn't the girl say she already knew? β
ββ¦β¦β
Looking along Lan Xin's fingertips, in the bamboo forest against the wall not far from the second gate, a light cyan figure was pacing back and forth in place, showing the man's anxious and restless state of mind.
Hum! The place was well chosen, his robe was integrated with the bamboo forest, and people who didn't care about it couldn't notice the horns at all. It seems that he really does this kind of thing!
"He's here to see me?"
"Yes! He is very capable, and he directly got someone to find me, saying that he wanted to see Miss. I told him that the young lady had gone to the General's Mansion. But he said that it didn't matter, he was just waiting for the young lady in the bamboo forest outside the second gate! β
"How did he get into the second door? Didn't anyone stop him? β
"Where do slaves and maids know? Just now, when the slave and maid were waiting, they found that a girl and a woman saw him and turned a deaf ear, but she didn't see it. Come to think of it, everyone in this house is not surprised! β
Yes! How could he and Shen Moqing's fly camp dog Gou Mansion master not know, but he was afraid that they would only let him in again and again with one eye open. The master was silent, and of course the slaves and maids could only pretend not to see it. In the back house of a dignified official, a young man was asked to come and go at will, and her father and grandmother didn't know how to avoid it and be ashamed!
They don't care about it, she'll take care of it later!
"Miss, you don't really want to see him, do you?"
"Go! Why not go? He's been waiting there, isn't that even more talkative? β
"But after all, he still has some ...... with the second girl Now, when the girl meets him in private again, it is inevitable that there will be some unpleasant rumors! It's not that I'm afraid of what the second girl and Aunt Xia have, I'm afraid that the reputation of the main girl is not good! β
Shen Moyun's thoughts, these two girls know that since they learned from Li Dawangfu on the way back to Beijing that Shen Moqing has a personal relationship with Chen Ergongzi, with her temperament, she will not marry Chen Er again even if she dies! Now, this Lan Xin's painstaking persuasion is for the sake of Shen Moyun, and she doesn't want her to have rumors after she dissolves the marriage contract with Chen Er in the future.
"I know! I have to make a break with him after all, and make it clear. But sooner or later! Shen Moyun couldn't help but look around, and asked softly, "What about Shen Moqing and Aunt Xia?" They knew that Chen Junyan was waiting for me here, how could they be so calm? β
"That's what the girl said! Because, neither of them is there. I just asked the mother-in-law who was guarding the door, and she said that at noon, Aunt Xia took the letter and ran out in a hurry, and she has not returned home yet! β
"Oh?" Shen Moyun couldn't help but be secretly happy, he didn't expect Shen Moqing to come back yet, no wonder this mansion was so stopped. Originally, she thought that when she entered the mansion, she would be about to come to the mountains and rains. It seems that today, she has a chance to play a game of "the wicked sue first".
Of course, the premise is to hurry up and deal with Chen Er first; Otherwise, as soon as Shen Moqing's miserable bitter master comes back, coupled with Aunt Xia's side drum, she will lose the opportunity.
"Lan Xin, are you familiar with the gatekeeper?"
Lan Xin looked proud, patted her purse, and pointed to her cherry mouthful, "With these two things, fortunately not disgraced!" β
"Good! You will ask in a moment whose letter it sent to Xia Hongxi! β
"Yes!"
In the past few days, Shen Moyun didn't take Lan Xin with her wherever she went, just because she was lively and good at dealing with people, so Shen Moyun gave her two silver taels and told her to have a good relationship everywhere, get familiar with each room, and find out how many people in this mansion are available to their masters and servants!
Shen Moyun and Lan Xin's conversation did not deliberately avoid Guo Jia, but was only two or three steps away from her. At this moment, Guo Jia naturally listened to the conversation between the two of them thoroughly!
Guo Jia looked at Shen Moyun from head to foot twice, looked unhappy, gritted his teeth and asked, "Sister really wants to see that guy?" β
"Go! He is waiting for me here, if I don't go, won't it be as my second sister wants? Of course, Shen Moyun could see that Guo Jia was unhappy, although she didn't understand why she was gritting her teeth so much, but if Shen Moqing was involved, she would definitely be able to do it!
"That's a good word! However, tea time must come back! No, half a cup of tea! Also, just talk! I'll be waiting there! As she spoke, she pointed to the gazebo in front of her, facing the bamboo forest.
Shen Moyun said yes again and again, but he couldn't help but slander in his heart, this girl is not her own mother and sister, so much care!
As everyone knows, Guo Jia is also slandering Shen Moyun in his belly, he is about to become his boss's woman, and he dares to meet a foreign man in private? In order not to make the boss suffer, he must be loyal and dutiful, keep an eye on these two people, and completely forget that this Chen Junyan is Shen Moyun's righteous fiancΓ©!
