Chapter 7: Betrayal
In front of Huarong Inn is a fox's mouth, but the east is close to Yanshan, so although it is closer to the south than its hometown Pengzhou, it is much colder than Pengzhou.
Shang Wanyan Rao was tightly wrapped in brocade books, and was swept by the cold wind wrapped in goose feathers and heavy snow, and the ice slag hit, and her pretty face was cold and painful, and it was so red that she couldn't do it.
Shang Wanyan didn't grieve herself, she changed positions with Mama Shen, and Mama Shen gave her a wind shield and snow sword. Jin Shu has learned kung fu with fists and feet, his body is much stronger than that of ordinary women, and he is not afraid of the cold, and he has breakfast and decoction in his hand, and he has not shivered.
It's only bitter for Mama Shen, there is a fire in the kitchen, and the Shang family is willing to give money to the innkeeper, so there is charcoal in the room. Mama Shen deliberately wanted to show off her decency, so she didn't wear much of a thick cotton jacket, thinking that it wouldn't take long to blow the wind outside, so it would be good to go quickly and go to the master's room to serve. Where did you think that Shang Wanyan would pull her to find Jinxiu slowly!
Mama Shen knew how to shiver, Shang Wanyan glanced at her, and suddenly said, "Is Mama Shen cold?" If it freezes out, wouldn't people scold our Shang family for being ruthless, and they wouldn't even give a cold-proof cotton coat to their subordinates! ”
So, Mama Shen didn't even dare to tremble, gritted her teeth and held on, and barely squeezed out a smile: "The old slave is a rough man, he can't be idle, he is hot when he moves, where is the old slave cold, our house treats people generously, and everyone knows it, and others will never use this kind of words to wronged our house!" ”
Mama Shen's words, Shang Wanyan listened to it noncommittally, since she knew about Aunt Gu's conspiracy, she couldn't see that Mama Shen had taken refuge in Aunt Gu's side, so she pulled her hood, and Shang Wanyan walked more slowly.
The slower Shang Wanyan walked, the more anxious Mama Shen became, firstly, she was really a little cold and couldn't stand it, and secondly, Shang Wanyan was determined to detain her to go with her, and she couldn't find a chance to report to Aunt Gu, and Mama Shen was worried that Aunt Gu would blame her afterwards.
Huarong Inn is not small, the backyard on the first floor is a relatively cheap shop, there are five separate rooms next to the shop, because the environment is more messy, so the asking price is much cheaper than the upstairs room.
Aunt Gu is Shang Wanyan's mother's maiden sister, Shang Wanyan's maternal ancestor Gu family was originally a poetry and book heirloom, and as a result, Shang Wanyan's third uncle Gu Yinfeng is a master who doesn't like to read and is used to collecting money, and the Gu family can be said to be very rich. Aunt Gu loves to show off, and she is not short of money in her hands, so she did not let the servants and servants who came with her sleep in the bunk, but wrapped all the five rooms on the first floor and divided them for everyone.
Listening to the brocade book, Jinxiu was locked in the second room on the left side of the shop, guarded by two mothers-in-law who washed the pulp.
The snow on the ground of the open-air patio on the first floor had already been swept away, and this time it was covered with a knuckle-deep layer, and Shang Wanyan didn't mention the hem of her skirt, wrapped the cloak on her body tightly and walked towards Guan Jinxiu's room.
A mother-in-law with a big waist and a round waist passed by with a black and yellow pot, and when she saw Shang Wanyan, she hurriedly curtsied, Shang Wanyan glanced at the mother-in-law, and had no impression, but she was afraid that she had died in the fox's mouth. He nodded, did not speak, and walked past her.
Mama Shen's eyes lit up, and she shouted: "Hu Jiu's family, you are really getting older and older, how can such a dirty thing as the night incense pot be dangled in front of Miss!" It's time to go out and wash up! ”
As she spoke, she winked at Hu Jiujia's eyes and motioned for her to hurry up and report to Aunt Gu.
Shang Wanyan sneered and didn't speak. Shen Mama's strangeness along the way, Jin Shu saw it in her eyes, and she also felt that something was wrong, and seeing that Shang Wanyan's face was not very good-looking, she stopped Hu Jiu's family from going out: "It's strange and cold this day, you put away everyone's night incense pots and pile them together, and take a few dollars to invite others to come to shabu!" ”
Hu Jiu's family can only do heavy work, but their brains are not very bright, listening to what Jinshu said, they really didn't leave, and went to collect the night incense pots in each room.
Shang Wanyan stood in front of Guan Jinxiu's door, Jinshu had something in his hand, it was not easy to push the door, Shang Wanyan had to do it herself. I tried to push it, but the door was not bolted, and I moved my heart and pushed the door open directly, with a little bit of force, and the door made a heavy sound when it hit it.
What caught Shang Wanyan's eyes was three girls and a middle-aged woman who was sitting around the kang and having breakfast, and was startled by the sound of pushing the door, and the chopsticks didn't have time to put down, and they all looked at Shang Wanyan in shock.
A small table was placed on the kang, and Shang Wanyan glanced at it, on which were steamed buns, white porridge and two side dishes. This room has no windows, and when the door is closed, it is dark, so an oil lamp is lit.
Shang Wanyan didn't recognize which one was Jinxiu, so she turned her head to look at Jinshu, and Jinshu's eyes widened, obviously in disbelief at the scene in front of her. Didn't you say that Jinxiu was taken care of by Aunt Gu's mother-in-law? Looking at her posture, she is no worse than her master, where does she seem to be punished?
Seeing Shang Wanyan looking back at herself, Jin Shu was afraid that Shang Wanyan would misunderstand that she was in the same group as them, so she made up words to coax her, put the food box in her hand on the ground, took a few steps forward, pointed to a maid with a beauty tip wearing a new red jacket and shouted: "Jinxiu, you say, what's going on?" ”
Then he glared at the middle-aged woman: "Liu Erniang, Aunt Gu asked you to take care of people, are you taking care of it like this?" "Jinshu and Jinxiu grew up together, so naturally they wished that Jinxiu would not be punished, but now when they see Jinxiu sitting here with delicious food and drink, there is a wave of anger in their chests, some of which are for Shang Wanyan, and some of them are for themselves.
Jinxiu and the others were already stupid when they saw Shang Wanyan first, but now that Jinshu made a fuss, they immediately came back to their senses, hurriedly got off the kang, and knelt on the ground to salute Shang Wanyan and apologize. Shang Wanyan stared at Jinxiu and Liu Erniang with fixed eyes, and sure enough, she noticed that they cautiously looked up at Mama Shen.
"You're going to enjoy it!" Shang Wanyan didn't care what kind of demon Mama Shen was behind her, she was not so young lady that she couldn't even suppress a few subordinates, she sneered at the moment, and looked at Jinxiu with eyes like knives, "Our Shang family is really a kind family, and we can enjoy it so much when we are punished!" ”
Shang Wanyan's biological mother Shang Gu was a beautiful lady who played the piano and wrote poetry when she was in her mother's house, a famous talented girl, after marrying into the Shang family, she always remembered that the Shang family was a military general family, so she taught her Shang Wanyi needlework to write poems, calligraphy, chess and paintings at the same time, and also urged them to practice martial arts with the family's nursing home. They are little ladies, so naturally they don't need to go to the battlefield, and it may be good to be healthy.
Because of the martial arts practice since childhood, Shang Wanyan is taller than her peers, standing in front of Jinxiu and looking down, quite condescending, her pretty face is frosted, her eyes are icy, and the whole person is like a blood-drinking sword, which makes people dare not look at it, and there is no mildness in the past.
Jinxiu bit her lip, she was kneeling in a hurry just now, and her knees were a little painful from the cold and hard ground. Seeing Shang Wanyan like this, she was even more scared. Miss is afraid that if she finds out that she has eaten inside and out, what will she do? Sell it? Broken legs? Or do you want to pull it to match the little guy?
Jinxiu thought about it, and shook her head in her heart, who doesn't know that the eldest lady of the Shang family is knowledgeable and generous, and she will never be so ruthless. I have served Miss for so many years, Miss treats herself like a sister on weekdays, and she said that she would not want to herself before, but now she still let Jinshu bring a food box to see her in person! I had to plead and make up a lie, but I was afraid that the young lady would not only not punish her, but also ask her to go back to serve closely! As for Aunt Gu's side, let's wait until this level is over!
So he squeezed out two tears, lowered his head, let the tears fall on the ground in front of him, shook his shoulders, and looked wronged: "Miss, I miss you so much......
Mama Shen nodded with satisfaction, this girl is a clever girl. Jinshu stared at Jinxiu in disbelief, as if he had never recognized this little sister who grew up together.
After Jinxiu finished howling, she raised her head and glanced at Shang Wanyan, and saw that although her face did not ease, she did not interrupt her. I was overjoyed, and I was about to continue, but before the defense was spoken, I saw Jinshu rushing to her like crazy, and raised his hand and gave her a slap, the crisp slap did not show the slightest emotion, and five red finger marks immediately appeared on Jinxiu's stunned face.
Jinxiu was beaten to the side, her brain was buzzing, and she didn't react for a while.
Jinshu pointed at her and scolded: "Miss treats us well, how can you have the face to do such a thing?" Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? ”
Jinshu made a fuss, Shang Wanyan was not so angry, and as soon as she calmed down, she thought of one thing, there was no Jinxiu in her memory, so she betrayed herself, and she shouldn't have been courted by Aunt Gu, or she died in the fox's mouth, or Aunt Gu thought of other ways to deal with her.
Thinking of this, Shang Wanyan not only did not get angry, but pulled out a satisfied smile. Several people present looked at the smile on Shang Wanyan's face, silent, thinking that Shang Wanyan was happy because of Jinshu's slap, and there was only one thought left in their hearts, Jinxiu was afraid that it would be over.
