Chapter 104: Rumors
In the darkness of the night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The rain is misty.
Nanjing's bustling night is the noise of lights.
There is also the rush of traffic, the slender waist of the beauty, and the smell of cigars.
This is Nanjing.
The ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties, the prosperity of the millennium, the history of the country, a huge city that mixes the beauty of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River and the majestic atmosphere of the ancient capital, this ancient city, after the advent of modern times, immediately glows with youthful brilliance!
In this quiet alley covered with moss-covered bluestone slabs and green bricks coiled with creepers.
A white-necked, wind-swaying willow posture, close-fitting and gorgeous cheongsam, stepping on high heels so extraordinarily beautiful long legs, coupled with an antique thin oil-paper umbrella painted with a plum blossom leisurely stepped over......
Jade ink.
Zhao Yumo.
She is as picturesque and mesmerizing as her name.
Just a glimpse of the beauty cut down is enough to make people linger in their sleep for a long time, she is so beautiful and graceful, so beautiful that those who have seen her will imagine in their hearts that she may have a high and unattainable family background, in order to raise such an elegant posture, such an evocative charm......
However, she is not.
No one knew about her past, not even the "best friend" who helped take her out of Shanghai, but they didn't know what she had experienced in those few days.
But she remembered it vividly.
Since that dark night, like a lost dog, she easily escaped from the garden corner gate of Luo's house in Shanghai, and came to Nanjing in a short time.
Sometimes I wake up suddenly, maybe my heart will flash, and the handsome face that spoils me to my bones as soon as I meet, I remember my sincerity that I can't hold back for a while, but it is like a flash of fireworks in the sky, but it was gorgeous and warm at that time, and then she was left alone in the long and cold night in the flower building gritted her teeth and insisted, holding the water vapor overflowing in her eyes.
And after daylight, after she wears light makeup, she is still the brightest silhouette in the people's landscape.
She is Zhao Yumo.
The new head plate of the Jade Building.
Among the women in the Qinhuai River in people's mouths, the most beautiful, the most talented, and the best one......
But when I was quiet, I seemed to hear the voice I heard when I was at Luo's house again-
"Sister Xiaoling! Sister Xiaoling! I heard that Miss Yuetong of the Yu family has come to find the young master again!
"Well, this Miss Yu seems to say that she is going to Nanjing in two days, so she wants to see the young master before leaving!"
"Ah?—But didn't the young master leave Shanghai the day before yesterday? It is said that it was because of business in the capital. ”
"That's right, but no matter how Steward Qi explains, Miss Yu just doesn't listen, saying that the young master just wants to avoid her, and he won't even see her when she leaves......"?
"What, why is the young master hiding from Miss Yu? Our young master didn't do anything to Miss Yu!"
"Shhh Come here, I'll tell you quietly...... I heard that Miss Yu listened to the young master's classmates outside, and the young master brought ...... Brought that person back - that's why Miss Yu ......"
"Ah......?"
"Sister Xiaojing, who entertained Miss Yu at that time, told me that when Steward Qi explained to Miss Yu in a good voice, Miss Yu couldn't help crying angrily for a while, and her tears fell down the ground, saying: 'Nong lied to me! Nong lied to me! Ah Zi is at home! He is at home......! I said (I know) that he brought a Huaishang woman Fei Lailuo (back)! Nong, don't lie to me! He hasn't been going to school for the past few days, he must be avoiding me...... I want to see him! I want to see him!' Steward Qi also deliberately shut everyone's mouths after that, saying that they were not allowed to tell that person......
"This ...... But...... Sister Xiaoling, do you say that this Miss Yu likes our young master? Otherwise, why doesn't Steward Qi allow us to talk about it?"
"If you don't like our young master, Miss Yu is about to go to Nanjing, how can she not be at home, and entertain the guests who came to say goodbye with Minister Yu and Mrs. Yu, but stay in our Luo family to see the young master, and cry!"
"Miss Yu...... Indeed...... Seems to like our young master very much......"
"That's right! When I had a party for my young master's birthday, I heard those young master school classmates who entertained me say that Miss Yu has been staring at our young master since she was in middle school! She also deliberately cut off her hair for the young master -- Miss Yu used to have long hair! I just heard that the young master said that she liked girls with short hair! There are still many girls in the young master's school who like it and have cut their hair!"
"Ahh......h It's a pity, Miss Yu is such a good person-if the young master didn't bring that person back, Miss Yu is such a good person, it's good for us people-"
"Shhhhh
"Hmph, Sister Xiaoling, don't you say? After the young master brought that person back, our Luo family was all bad!-You know, because of that person, the young master lost his temper, and the Qi steward also drove away so many subordinates, and it was also rumored outside that the young master of our Luo family married and married a female branch girl!"
The word "female branch girl" slammed into the ears of Yumo who passed by by accident behind the door, and then overheard Yumo's ears, and then suddenly exploded around Yumo with a "boom" like an air-dropped bomb, which suddenly made the beauty covered in bruises and blood......
Yumo was stunned behind the door, and after hearing that word, he suddenly felt that his hands and feet were cold, his lips were pale, and he didn't know what to do, and he couldn't do anything...... But the conversation in the ear across the door was still going on—
"It is also rumored outside that the only young master of our Luo family has married a female branch girl! Even the beggars begging on the street and the gangsters in the market can talk about our Luo family -- Sister Xiaoling! Do you say it! Our young master used to be such a high-ranking person, so clean-loving that he couldn't even stand a little dust on his clothes, but he brought back a female branch girl who didn't know how dirty it was!"
I don't know how dirty the female branch girl is...... Is this how he looks in the eyes of the rest of the Luo family......
"Shhhh!!h
"I don't! Sister Xiaoling, the young master, the young master, the young master must have been bewitched and drugged by that person......!
"Alright!!Shut up!Have you forgotten what Steward Qi said?!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence behind the noisy door, quietly and strangely.
What did Steward Qi say? What did Steward Qi say? Yumo's face regained a little blood, and the face of a middle-aged man who did not smile appeared in his mind, that was a person who was strict in every word, the manager of this huge mansion, and handled all the things in the mansion for the owner of this mansion, he was undoubtedly the master's henchman, and the only one who made her feel that she did not hate her existence.
"I know Sister Xiaoling, the young master is the young master, and the young master likes that person, so that person becomes the young master's person - but we can't be the young master's people, so we are us, and the subordinates can't talk about the master, this is the order given by the Qi steward when the Qi steward drove them out, we can't talk about the young master, and the same can't talk about the young master's person...... However, I just don't want our young master to be spread like this outside!"
“…… It's good that you know, who wants their young master to be slandered by such a reputation outside, it's just ...... But what they say is not all rumors...... Let's go...... Don't say it......"
…………
"Steward Qi...... I heard that you ......"
That night, she just bathed, wearing the pearl white silk pajamas prepared for her by Luo Zi, the young master of the Luo family, under the bright yellow bedside lamp, the pearl white pajamas lined her brightly, and her hair was still hanging with undried water stains, and on the summer night, her complexion was as delicate as cool jade, revealing a delicate pink white.
She was not a cowardly person by nature, and at last she mustered up the courage to ask the maid to call the housekeeper of the house-
The biggest housekeeper of this family: Steward Qi.
At that time, she was half-covered with a thin cover, only to see Steward Qi knock on the door and come in, after glancing up, her figure suddenly stopped, but her footsteps stopped at the door, refusing to take another step forward and standing there respectfully, she didn't know why, and asked suspiciously: "Steward Qi, why don't you come in?"
The butler Qi clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, and lowered her head so she couldn't see the housekeeper's eyes clearly, she could only see a slightly rounded chin, and she could only hear a steady voice with a little sharpness, through the thin bed, through the gap to her ears: "This is etiquette, Miss Zhao, 'the servant does not ignore the master's bed'." ”
It was only then that she was reminded that her cheeks were flushed slightly, and she was ashamed—etiquette, which she did not understand, because no one had taught her since she entered the house.
"Oh......"
At this time, I returned to the above sentence: "Steward Qi...... I heard that you ......"
She gritted her teeth and asked this sentence with a hard heart: "I heard that someone has been looking for Young Master Luo recently......"
"Yes, Miss Yu?"
Steward Qi seemed to be surprised to hear her say this title, her body trembled slightly, and her head lowered lower, making it even more difficult for her to see Steward Qi's face clearly, only to hear Steward Qi say, "Is there someone chewing the root of the tongue in Miss Zhao's ear?"
She has always been sharp-eyed, and when she found that Steward Qi's words came out, the maid serving tea beside her was panicked and frightened for a moment, even if her face recovered in the blink of an eye, her hands and feet holding the tea were still trembling slightly, telling her that this was not an illusion.
She was in love with the owner of the house, so she cared about something she didn't need to care about, and when she saw the maid's reaction, she panicked and replied, "No, no! I found it myself!"
Steward Qi raised his head and glanced at her, the meaning was unknown, but then he lowered his head again, and his gaze moved away from her.
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a dry mouth, and then replied weakly: "Because there have been many people in and out of the front hall in the past two days......"
"Miss Zhao, I will help you change to more obedient subordinates. ”
But Steward Qi, who she had always thought was in a "fair and objective" position, interrupted her directly and said bluntly......
