Chapter 45: Demand

The sky gradually darkened, and the sky gathered dark clouds at some point, and the cold wind gusted, making the brocade shiver, afraid that it was going to rain, she thought to herself.

Shang Wanyan thought that her voice was very loud, but it was very subtle in the ears of Jinshu and Gui Ni, Jin Shu had good ears, so she heard Shang Wanyan's question clearly, Gui Ni had a ghost in her heart, so she also heard Shang Wanyan's question clearly.

Guinie had been very cold since she was pregnant, so she put almost all her thick clothes on her body, and Rao was like this, and she still shivered in the cold wind.

Hearing Shang Wanyan's question, Gui Ni's face was full of horror and disbelief, and there was a hint of scrutiny hidden in her eyes when she looked at Shang Wanyan. She didn't even reveal this matter to her mother, the eldest lady had only been in the Hou Mansion for two days, how did she know about it?

Gui Ni shuddered and asked, "How does the eldest lady know?" ”

This is to affirm Shang Wanyan's question. Jin Shu frowned, took two steps back to the side, and stretched his neck to check if anyone was passing by.

Shang Wanyan only felt cold in her heart, thinking about the mess caused by Gui Ni's matter in her previous life, her voice was a little dry, and her brain immediately woke up from the chaos.

In the previous life, Gui Ni's pregnancy came out after Zhong Xueying passed the door, and now there are more than 20 days before Zhong Xueying passes the door, and more than 20 days is enough time for her to deal with this matter unknowingly. Thinking like this, Shang Wanyan breathed a sigh of relief, her face was not as ugly as before, and she regained her usual composure.

Shang Wanyan looked down at Gui Ni, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, and her tone was even more light when she spoke: "You don't care how I know, since you have asked me to come here, I will be the master for you, you clean up first, and come with me to see the old lady!" ”

"See the old lady?" Gui Ni was taken aback, "If the old lady knows about this, where will the slave and maid live!" ”

Shang Wanyan's hands in her sleeves were clenched into fists, pinching them tightly, but her face was calm: "I have already decided to call the shots for you, so naturally I won't tell the old lady about this matter." It's just that I am afraid that it will not be possible for you to continue to stay in Wuchengyuan now, I happen to lack a first-class maid by my side, and you are the person who the old lady gave to my father, so I can ask the old lady to come over. ”

Gui Ni had already wiped away her tears, and when she heard Shang Wanyan say this, she finally had a smile on her face, and said: "No matter what the eldest lady asks the maid to do, the maid is willing, as long as the eldest lady is willing to be the master of the maid, the maid is a cow and a horse for the eldest lady!" ”

Shang Wanyan nodded, didn't take Gui Ni's words to heart, nodded to Jinshu again, and walked in the direction of the Evergreen Courtyard. Gui Ni hurriedly stood up, stumbled for a moment, then stabilized her body, and hurriedly chased after Shang Wanyan to follow.

Mrs. Shang was instructing someone to set the meal, and when she heard that Shang Wanyan was coming with a maid, her face turned dark, and she said: "Yuan Niang is afraid that there is something to do with me this time, so I won't set the meal for the time being, let's put it on the stove and simmer it first!" ”

There is an assorted shrimp in today's lunch, only a small plate is as much, the shrimp is brought by a businessman from the southeast, it is very pretty, so a small plate costs Mrs. Shang two taels of silver.

The maids and women beside Mrs. Shang knew her temperament, so they didn't ask much, and just retreated.

was disturbed to eat, Mrs. Shang was in a very bad mood, and said to Mama Yue next to her with a black face: "This has been raised in Pengzhou since childhood, but it is not sensible." Which elder family is as sympathetic to the younger generation as I am, morning and dusk, and I even exempted them from asking for peace in the morning. It's just two clothes, and it's worth sending a maid once, and coming again! ”

Mama Yue smiled cautiously: "Pengzhou is a small place, and people's hearts and eyes are naturally small, but fortunately, the eldest lady is now in Jindu, what does she not understand, and she will rely on the old lady as a grandmother in the future!" ”

When Mrs. Shang heard Mama Yue's words, there was a smile on her face, but she said: "When the Zhong family enters the door, the heavy responsibility of teaching Yuan Niang, Er Niang and San Niang will fall on the Zhong family, where can I be used to guide me!" ”

"The Zhong family is young, where can he compare to the old lady!" Mama Yue continued to flatter, "It's the Zhong family, I can't say that I need the help of the old lady to make a fool of myself!" ”

Old Madam Shang nodded with satisfaction. Mama Yue said: "Since the eldest lady is here at this time, the old lady might as well take what Lu Pozi just said and ask the eldest lady to see what the eldest lady says." ”

While speaking, Shang Wanyan had already taken Gui Ni into the inner room, and Jin Shu was going to give candy to the little girl named Song Xia, so she said to Shang Wanyan and didn't go in with her.

Old Madam Shang glanced at Shang Wanyan and said, "I will naturally ask." ”

After saying goodbye, Mrs. Shang casually pointed to the **** pestle and asked Shang Wanyan to sit down, and then without waiting for Shang Wanyan to speak, she asked, "What did you do when you went out today?" ”

When Shang Wanyan heard this, a trace of shame flashed on her face: "I bought a few books and a few incense sticks, but I want to buy something else, but ...... Let's go out and buy it after a while! ”

She said it vaguely, but everyone could see that the eldest lady of the Shang family was crying poor!

Frowning, Old Madam Shang looked down on her appearance that she couldn't get on the stage, and said in her mouth: "The little lady in the boudoir, she always goes out to do something for no reason, that is, an enlightened person like us will not detain you." Although our family uses more for our brothers and sisters than others, Jindu is not Pengzhou, and the price is much higher. ”

Shang Wanyan was extremely disgusted by the high-sounding appearance of Mrs. Shang saying these words, but she had to have a teachable look on her face: "It's still the old lady's grandmother who is right!" ”

Seeing that Shang Wanyan was small, Mrs. Shang felt a little more comfortable, and then asked again: "I heard that there is a young Taoist pestering you in the old bookstore today?" What's going on? ”

I'm afraid that Mrs. Lu is still Mrs. Shang's person. Shang Wanyan thought to herself.

"I had a relationship at Huarong Inn that day, but I never thought that I would meet Jindu again. The name of that person is called Changxie, but I don't know how many there are. ”

As she said this, Old Madam Shang and Mama Yue both stared at her blatantly, looked at her expression, and saw that her words did not seem to be fake, so they nodded.

Shang Wanyan took the opportunity to say: "Auntie said yesterday that each of our sisters has two first-class maids, two second-class maids, and four third-class maids. Erniang's maid ran away, I was worried that the things in her room would not be busy, but fortunately, the first-class maid Jinxiu next to me was very close to Erniang's room, so I gave Jinxiu to Erniang's call. Grandmother, now I don't have a first-class maid by my side. ”

As soon as these words came out, a trace of shrewdness flashed in Mama Yue's eyes, and she thought to herself, that Jinxiu is afraid that she is already the second lady's person, and the eldest lady does this, but she has a little bit of Miss Hou's demeanor, and she seems to be generous, and she clears the eyeliner around her.

Old Madam Shang also thought of this, her expression was a little complicated, and she snorted, and said, "Your sisters are harmonious and friendly, which is naturally excellent. When your aunt is done, she will naturally take the maid to pick it for you. There's no need to rush. ”

Shang Wanyan pursed her lips, pointed at Gui Ni, and deliberately smiled: "I just met this sister outside, grandmother, can I choose her to be my first-class maid?" She's so good-looking! ”

When Mrs. Shang heard this, she slapped Shang Wanyan's hand away and frowned, "What do you say?" When I saw a good-looking maid in the house, I came to talk to me, you are not a seven or eight-year-old child, why do you have no brains in doing things? ”

Shang Wanyan was a little aggrieved: "Grandmother, I saw Sister Gui Ni wandering in the garden, and when I asked, I realized that she had very few things on weekdays, so I started to ask for her." When I was in Pengzhou before, Aunt Gu said what I wanted and told her that as long as she had it, she could give it to me, so I thought it was the same in Jindu. That's when I came to ask my grandmother for someone. ”

Only then did Mrs. Shang see clearly who the maid Shang Wanyan was asking for, and when she heard Shang Wanyan's words, she choked in her throat and felt her heart congested. No wonder Yuan Niang said that she was good-looking, wasn't this the woman she sent to serve her eldest son!

Just as she was about to reprimand Shang Wanyan, Mama Yue suddenly spoke: "The first-class maids are all close to the masters, and the first-class maids around the ladies naturally can't be bought from outside. ”

Old Madam Shang was silent for a while, then waved her hand and said, "I'll talk about this in two days." Yuan Niang, you go back first, the tailor who makes the clothes is here, I will let you know that you will come back. Guinie stayed. ”

Shang Wanyan didn't dwell on it, she wrung her fingers at the old lady Shang's gaze, and squeezed Gui Ni's eyes in front of the old lady, and then retreated.

After going out, I saw Jinshu standing in the corridor talking to a little girl who was tightly holding a bag of pine nut candy in her hand. Seeing Shang Wanyan come out, Jin Shu hurriedly said goodbye to Song Xia with a smile, and then strode towards Shang Wanyan's side.

Shang Wanyan said lightly: "It's weirdly cold, it's raining again, let's go back." ”

Jin Shu responded, straightened the hood of Li Shang Wanyan's cloak, and wrapped the person more tightly.
