Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Squire
And between the inner and outer rooms of this room, there is a thick curtain with a purple background and a red peony pattern. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because of this curtain, the figures and voices of the people in the inner room are all shadowy, and they cannot see through or hear clearly.
There was still a candle lit in the inner room, and a woman in her mid-thirties in a red bandeau dress was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Her appearance is a little old, her eyes are slender, her lips are thin, and she is smeared with a layer of blood-red lip grease, which looks very mean, without a little tenderness.
At this time, beside her, a girl in pink was snuggling up to her.
The girl in pink was her daughter, though much younger than her.
But her appearance is much more ordinary than hers.
The eyes are getting smaller and more elongated.
"Mother," the pink-clad girl shook her mother constantly, "you should speak, we can't let that little wild seed take advantage." Such a good person, she also deserves it?"
"All right, all right," said the lady, though she was a little impatient with her shakenness, but because she loved her daughter very much, she had to brace herself up to deal with her, "look at you, what has become of you. ”
Her thin, bright red lips pursed tightly.
The expression on her face was very serious, as if she was angry with her daughter's words.
But the doting and smiling in her slender eyes exposed her heart.
"Mother," the girl in pink dragged out her voice and sprinkled coquettishly, it seemed that she had already figured out the lady's temperament, "Mother, did my daughter say something wrong? Daddy doesn't hurt me, doesn't my mother hurt my daughter? That, that, what's the meaning of Luan'er alive? Daddy doesn't hurt, even mother, mother doesn't love anymore." ”
There was some grievance in her voice, as if she was extremely uncomfortable.
When the lady saw her like this, she hurriedly turned to the side and embraced her, and said anxiously and lovingly, "You, you." You little ancestor. Are you going to kill me? Look, look at you, what did you say? Mother is such a daughter as you, you, you are still...".
At the end, the lady's voice was full of tears, and she was really eaten to death by her daughter.
And when this Luan'er saw her mother's expression, she didn't feel the slightest distress and empathy.
There was a smug glint in her elongated eyes.
Luan'er also turned sideways, hugged her mother with her backhand, and buried her head in her arms.
Suddenly there was a warm atmosphere flowing in the room.
It seems to be a mother-daughter relationship.
"Mother," Luan'er said, "Luan'er is talking about playing." How could Luan'er be willing to leave her mother? Luan'er knew that in this world, only her mother was the one who loved Luan'er the most. It's just mother, do we really want that little slut to marry Zhao Gongzi?"
Although Zhao Gongzi was born poor, he was very handsome and very talented.
went to cheap Wu Shuang'er for nothing, but she was really unwilling!
"You kid, why are you so short-sighted. I really didn't learn a single thing about me!"
Naturally, this lady saw her daughter's thoughts, and her eyes were full of hatred.
She stretched out her not-so-white hand, which was so well-maintained that she could still faintly see the pale yellow calluses and fine lines, and tapped her daughter's forehead heavily.
"Mother!" the witch writhed in her arms, crying out in dissatisfaction.
"You're hurting me. ”
"Why is Luan'er short-lived. ”
"You," the lady said, helplessly.
But then she immediately showed a suspicious look, and shouted sternly: "Luan'er, have you taken a fancy to that little white face?" ”
"Mother, I didn't!" Wu Luan'er was a little angry.
She just felt that Wu Shuang'er was not worthy of the surname Zhao, but she didn't say that she liked it.
Just because the surname Zhao is also worthy!
She will marry into a big family in the future.
"It's good if you don't have it. ”
The lady still knew something about her daughter, and when she heard her say this, she understood that she did not like someone she should not like, and did not deserve to be liked.
"Luan'er, then you say, do you think that he shouldn't be that Bai'er's man because the surname Zhao is good and can write a few sour poems?"
This lady has always been dissatisfied with Wu Shuang'er, so she has always been connected with her Bai'er.
It's like calling a dog.
"Hmm. ”
Wu Luan'er's eyes widened and she looked at her mother wetly.
"Oh, my little liver. ”
When the lady saw her like this, she couldn't help but hug her daughter and kiss her, and then she said again: "Luan'er, why don't you want to think about it." Back then, the biological mother of this little slut stole your father's favor and framed your mother. Let your mother fall out of favor in front of your father from then on, and from then on live a life that is worse than death!"
The lady said this, with a look of resentment in her eyes, and the squire had not been to her room since that day.
She's like a dead man.
This wild man doesn't want to think about who it was that made him live this good life in the first place!
She pursed her bright red lips in dissatisfaction, and made a white mark on it, which looked a little funny.
Then she spoke again under her daughter's earnest gaze: "So, your mother won't be so stupid, so good to that Bai'er." It will not be so noble, like those saints who repay grievances with virtue. That Zhao Gongzi. ”
There was a hint of banter in the lady's eyes, and there was some sarcasm in her tone.
She sneered proudly, and then continued in a weird manner: "Then Zhao Gongzi, not to mention his poor family, he has no father since he was a child. It's all about his old lady pulling it up. His mother was an old girl who walked the streets and alleys, and she didn't have much ability. He relied on selling bits and pieces and doing some embroidery work to support him in his education. Because of this, he is especially filial to his old lady. And this old lady has been blind again in recent years, and her temper has become more and more eccentric. It's hard to wait. ”
The lady seemed to be a little thirsty when she said this.
She stopped talking, reached out and took the white-background saffron bowl on the side, put it to her mouth and drank a few big sips.
Seeing this, Wu Luan'er couldn't help but sniffle, and covered her mouth with her slender fingers with some disgust in her eyes.
She seemed to be a little disgusted by her mother's behavior.
It was about half an hour before the lady put down the bowl.
And the bottom of the white bowl was still stained with a layer of sticky grease and a few pieces of finely chopped chicken skin.
And the lip grease on this lady's mouth is not as bright as before, and it is faintly pink, just like the color of the clothes her daughter is wearing.
And at the corner of her mouth, there is some yellow fat and some finely minced chicken.
But the lady didn't care.
She pulled out a handkerchief from her side and wiped her mouth very casually.
After that, she let out a long breath, as if she was extremely enjoying and comfortable, and then put her arms around her daughter again, and continued to speak: "And he himself, because of his dead ghost father, was wrongfully beaten to death by the local county order. So he is on his own, and he is also extremely cynical, with a posture of never going along with the world. Actually, haha, he, just him, what qualifications does he have to make such an appearance. Who can I show it to? With just a few of his poems, can he be a great official? ”
Listening to her mother's words, Wu Luan'er was very excited.
Excited and happy, she grabbed her mother's arm and shook it vigorously.
"Mother," Wu Luan'er said excitedly, "I understand." With a second sister's heart higher than the sky and a life thinner than paper. It is absolutely, absolutely unwilling. She must have a bad life with that Zhao Gongzi!"
Speaking of this, the witch Luan'er also laughed a few times, quite proud.
"Alright. It's not too early, go to sleep. ”
The lady looked at her daughter lovingly, and then immediately looked at the sky, and urged her daughter a few times.
"Ah, it's so late. Mother, I'll go first. ”
Hearing this, this Wu Luan'er also subconsciously looked at the faint sky outside the window.
Seeing that it was not early, he ran away.
"This girl. ”
Seeing Wu Luan'er like this, the lady smiled helplessly and blew out the candle flame in one gulp.
The room was instantly plunged into darkness.
"Hmph, how can you beat me. ”
In the darkness, the lady was still muttering to herself.
At this time, it was already the third watch, and most of the people in the capital had already turned off the lights and went to sleep.
And there is another family, but the lights are still on.
This is an extremely ordinary small courtyard.
It's just two or three rooms, a small backyard, and only some ordinary flowers and plants in between.
It's just roses, wild chrysanthemums, and so on, and most of the common people can buy a pot of cheap flowers and plants to put in the house.
And in this room, there are two unusual people standing.
These are two men.
One of them was born with a handsome face.
This man's facial features are deep, with a bit of exoticism, and he even has a little beauty when you look closely.
The other man, on the other hand, was born with an ordinary appearance.
In fact, it is said to be ordinary, but it looks a little ordinary in front of this handsome man.
Although his face was only delicate, in the middle of his forehead, there was a bright red beauty mole, so bright red that it seemed to drip blood.
And it is this beauty mole that adds a bit of purity and enchantment to this man.
also sets off his delicate face, with a somewhat ethereal atmosphere.
"Master. ”
The man spoke respectfully.
His voice was gentle, and there seemed to be a slight Buddha sound mixed with it.
"Found it?"
The man who was called his master spoke lightly.
His voice is just like his face, and his voice is gorgeous and magnetic.
"Yes! ”
The ethereal man smiled a little mysteriously, and then said, "Speaking of which, my subordinates will congratulate their master." Not only did people find it, but there was also an unexpected joy. ”
"Oh?"
The master was obviously a little surprised.
"What kind of surprise? You should just say it, and don't sell it. ”
"Yes. ”
The minion bowed his head respectfully in response.
"Her son is doing well. ”
"Su Ming?"
Hearing this, the master showed a little surprise, but soon, there was a little suddenness.
"He has a good mother. ”
The master muttered.
Then, a look of remembrance appeared on his face.
At the beginning, he was still a prince living in a cold palace, he didn't eat or drink, and he didn't have a few subordinates to call him.
However, he also knows a little bit about the outside world.
Speaking of which, he still has a lot of gratitude for his mother who died early.
Thinking of this, his bewitching face showed a bit of mockery.
He is the son of the guilty slave of the palace, the prince of sin, Dongfang Cheng!
He has lived for so long, so long, on his back.
Dongfang Cheng's slender fingers, which seemed to be more beautiful than a woman, slowly clenched.
And his subordinates were naturally very keenly aware of Dongfang Cheng's somewhat cold aura.
He buried his head in the dead and did not dare to say anything.
But Dongfang Cheng suddenly chuckled and spoke: "I think his mother was also a heroine among women back then." The family has been an official of the Criminal Department for generations. She also learned a bit of a stern temperament. ”
"Yes. ”
The subordinate echoed with some caution.
"When her family was convicted, Huang Shangshu abandoned her and married the little county lord as his wife. Then the Yellow Emperor prayed for the Queen Mother and granted amnesty to the world. The exiled Sue has come back to live. also brought the son who was originally with Huang Shangshusheng, who was previously called Huang Ming, and later changed his surname to Su. Later, when the little lord heard about it, he dressed up very gorgeously, and brought many people to see her. The aura is extremely strong, and she originally wanted to suppress the momentum of the former lady. Who knows...".
At this, both of them began to laugh.
Who knew that as soon as the little county lord saw the resolute Mrs. Su, his momentum was shortened by three points.
Then Mrs. Su only said lightly: "Sister, you are here." ”
The little county lord actually knelt down and gave a big salute to this Mrs. Su.
This is really funny, thinking of the little princess, but the eldest sister of the current emperor, that is, the daughter of the eldest princess, I didn't expect it to be so weak and useless.
Since then, this Mrs. Su has become famous.
And this little county lord was annoyed and angry, in order to cover up this ugly matter, even Huang Shangshu's face refused to take care of it.
insisted on begging the eldest princess to help drive Mrs. Na Su and Su Ming out of the capital.
And with such a domineering behavior, Mrs. Su was not angry at all.
She was the one who surprised everyone again, and calmly packed up.
With her son, who was not yet ten years old, she left the capital again.
And after almost ten years, Su Ming is very capable, very good, and can be called a ghost.
And that Huang Shangshu...
Dongfang Cheng sneered: "It's a pity that God gave him that life." ”
has such a good son, but he doesn't know how to cherish it, so he has to guard his little lord to live.
Woman?
