Chapter 43: The Complaint
Shang Wanyan didn't stop, and hurriedly returned to Shuchun Courtyard, but did not look for Siniang and Wuniang again, but asked Shuxiang to take the incense plug and send it from yard to yard.
Jin Shu looked worried, a little puzzled: "Why didn't Miss just poke her?" ”
"What about poking her?" Shang Wanyan sighed, "We don't have any evidence." ”
Saying this, Jin Shu was even more worried: "Then what should I do?" Miss can't be bullied by them like this! ”
Yes, you can't be bullied by them like this, it's just the last life, and you can't let others ride on your head in this life anyway.
After thinking about it, Shang Wanyan got up suddenly: "Bring me that red cloak." After putting on the cloak, he continued, "Let's go to the Evergreen Academy." ”
"Going to say hello now?" Jin Shu glanced at the sandalwood used to keep time on the pear blossom wooden table, "It's almost lunch time!" ”
"That's the time to go and say goodbye." Shang Wanyan hooked the corners of her mouth and pulled a sneering smile.
To say that Mrs. Shang, in addition to snooze, one of the biggest characteristics is food protection. She herself came from a small family, and she has followed the old man Shang for so many years, and she has not changed her stinginess in her bones. But whenever I eat, I always like to be extremely luxurious, what is expensive to eat, for fear that after eating this meal, I will eat Guanyin soil again the next meal.
The breakfast and lunch of the Wuwei Hou Mansion are solved in their own small courtyards, and only dinner is eaten by everyone. Old Man Shang is not at home during the day, and a lunch in the Evergreen Courtyard costs one or two taels of silver, which is the consumption of ordinary people for three or four months. In addition to not liking to have children and grandchildren come to say hello in the morning, the most annoying thing for Mrs. Shang is that someone pinched the lunch point to greet her.
The younger generations came to greet them at this time, and if they didn't leave them for dinner, it would seem that their elders were too unkind, so they could be left to eat...... That's a meal of one or two taels of silver, good wine and good food, I haven't eaten enough, let others eat, isn't it distressing!
It's just that this stingy mind can't be said on the surface, and Mrs. Shang only said that she should be an easy-going elder and avoid the morning and afternoon greetings of the daughters-in-law and children. Others don't know that Shang Wanyan, who has lived an extra life, knows everything about Mrs. Shang's thoughts.
The master and servant wrapped their cloaks and hurried to the Evergreen Courtyard, and as soon as they came out of the gate of the Shuchun Courtyard, they saw a little girl with a head poking her head at the corner of the wall, and saw Shang Wanyan looking over here, and turned around sharply and ran in the direction of the garden.
Jin Shu asked, "Miss, do you want to chase it?" ”
Shang Wanyan shook her head and smiled sarcastically: "Let her toss." Then he continued to walk in the direction of the Evergreen Academy.
Seeing that Shang Wanyan didn't chase after her, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief. I thought in my heart that if I let the third lady know that she was discovered by the eldest lady, maybe she would be punished to clean the thatched house, and the left and right eldest ladies didn't care, so it was better to hide it.
Sure enough, when she saw Shang Wanyi, when Shang Wanyu asked, the little girl only said: "After the eldest lady returned to the Spring Courtyard, she talked to Sister Jinshu for a while, and then went out in the direction of the Evergreen Academy." ”
Shang Wan hummed, then gently turned his head and ordered, "Go grab a handful of pine nut candy and give it to her." ”
The little girl was very happy in her heart, and when she took the pine nut candy, she immediately went down to find her little sister to eat candy together. When the little girl left, Shang Wanyu said to Lu Zao behind her: "I just said that the big sister won't doubt us, you don't believe it, and now you always believe it?" ”
Lu Zao was the maid in the green cotton jacket that Shang Wanyan saw running with Shang Wanyu before, and her brows were furrowed at this time, and she was still a little worried: "Miss can't be careless, I can't say that the eldest lady is going to the old lady to sue us for being strong!" ”
Shang Wan pouted: "She just saw that the second sister asked the old lady to say goodbye, and she felt that she had no face, so she rushed over to make up for it, if she really noticed that we were following her, what was the use of going to the old lady, just wait for the father to come back, and ask the father to call the shots." ”
As soon as she said this, Lu Zao's worry in her heart was much lighter, although she didn't follow Shang Wanyu last night, but what happened in Songhetang, Shang Wanyu came back and learned from her. How much Hou Ye protects Aunt Gu's mother and daughter, she also knows it in her heart.
Seeing that Lu Zao stopped talking, Shang Wanyu bent her eyebrows and eyes, and smiled with a smile: "Sister Lu Zao is relieved now?" Don't worry, let's go see Aunt Gu! ”
Lu had already responded, and walked with Shang Wanyu to the place where Aunt Gu lived.
Because Shang Zhizhang had no other people around him, for convenience, after living in the Wuwei Hou Mansion, Aunt Yue did not have her own courtyard, and only lived temporarily in the wing room next to the main house. In this way, with Aunt Yue's precedent, Aunt Gu had no choice but to choose a side room to live in the main courtyard.
The Wucheng Courtyard where Shang Zhizhang lives and the Evergreen Courtyard where Mrs. Shang lives are completely in two different directions, and Shang Wanyu is not afraid of meeting Shang Wanyan, so he pulls Lu Zao in the direction of Wuchengyuan with a happy face.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of Wucheng Courtyard, I saw Shang Xizhou coming out of Wucheng Courtyard with a frosty face, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised, Shang Zhizhang was not at home, there were only two aunts in Wucheng Courtyard, what was Shang Xizhou going to do?
Lu Zao whispered a few words to Shang Wanyi, Shang Wanyu raised his head and greeted him with a smile on his face, slightly surprised, and greeted softly: "Why is my brother here?" ”
Shang Xizhou paused, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, his right hand was clenched into a fist and pinned slightly behind him, as if he was hiding something, his tone was dry, and he said, "Where is the third sister?" But he didn't answer Shang Wanyi's question.
Shang Wan pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I'm afraid that my aunt will be bored, so I'll go and talk to my aunt." Did my brother also go to see his aunt? ”
Shang Xizhou's expression was tense, and he said with a straight face: "There is something else." It's cold outside, you go inside, I have something to do. ”
Then without waiting for Shang Wanyu to answer, he raised his feet and left. Midori stared at Shang Xizhou's hand deadly, but unfortunately there was a sleeve to cover it, and he didn't see anything.
Shang Wanyi looked a little disappointed, and sighed at Lu Zao: "Let's go!" ”
didn't take two steps, stopped again, turned his head to look at Shang Xizhou's back, and his face was full of resentment: "I heard that my brother gave my eldest sister thirty taels of silver today?" My brother's monthly allowance is only fifteen taels of silver, and he walks around with friends on weekdays, and the expenses are large, and I don't know how long I have saved these thirty taels of silver! ”
Shang Wanyu remembered yesterday's incense again, she donated an ever-bright lamp, five taels of silver a month for lamp oil, donated for half a year at once, spent all the money in her hand, and wanted to buy a grease to wipe her face on the way back, Shang Xizhou refused to pay for her.
When she was in the northwest, she obviously wanted something, so Shang Xizhou bought it for her!
"It's all to blame on that bowl spirit!" Shang Wanyu remembered Aunt Gu's title for Shang Wanyan, and said angrily, "I am a concubine, and even the monthly silver is two taels less than hers, why should she rob my brother from me!" ”
Lu Zao's face was calm, from yesterday to today, she had heard similar words many times, even so, her mouth still persuaded: "The love between the young lady and the eldest young master for more than ten years, where can she compare?" Bear with it, after a while, the eldest young master will know who she is, and he will naturally get tired of her. ”
Shang Wanyi's temperament was thoroughly touched by Lu Zao, and only a few words of persuasion made her regain her calm mood. When she arrived at the door of the wing, Shang Wan straightened her dress, revealing a well-behaved and cowardly appearance, and then turned her head and instructed Lu Zao: "I'll go in and tell Aunt Gu that you are waiting for me outside." ”
As he spoke, he automatically opened the cotton curtain and walked in. Lu Zao watched Shang Wanyu enter the door, grabbed a little girl guarding the door, and said: "I have some discomfort in my stomach, you are guarding here, if the third lady comes out and I haven't come out yet, you will say that I went to the thatched house." ”
The little girl responded with a smile, and Lu Zao hurriedly walked away.
The eldest young master was behaving strangely just now, and he didn't know what he had done in Wucheng Courtyard, so he had to talk to that person.
