Chapter 44: Calling the Shots

Because this room has never been inhabited, the furnishings in the room are very simple. When Shang Wanyu entered, Aunt Gu was taking a handful of flat-foot measuring cloth. There was no one around to help.

There were only two stoves in the room, but the whole room was warm.

Aunt Gu saw Shang Wanyu coming in through the bead curtain, so she put the things in her hand, took two steps forward with a smile, and said with a smile: "Sanniang is here!" ”

Shang Wan pursed her lips reservedly, and then stepped into the inner room like a lotus, and when she passed by the stove, she quietly glanced into the stove, and it turned out to be the best silver frost charcoal!

Although there are a lot of silver frost charcoal in this Wuwei Hou Mansion, most of them are in the hands of Old Lady Shang and Shang Zhizhang, and even in the rooms of several young masters and young ladies, there is no silver frost charcoal burning. Aunt Gu can burn silver frost charcoal in both stoves here, where the silver frost charcoal in her hand came from, you can guess without asking.

Shang Wanyu stepped forward with a calm expression, glanced at the brocade inside the cloth basket, and said with a greeting in his mouth: "Auntie, this is going to make new clothes?" Qiu'er is standing outside guarding the door, why doesn't my aunt let her in to help? ”

Aunt Gu was surrounded by two maids, Zhuxiang and Zhuzhi, and after being taken away by Shang Wanyan, she had no one to call. This Qiu'er is the person called by Aunt Yue, although she is a little younger, she is smart and clever, and yesterday she saw that Aunt Gu didn't even have a person to fetch hot water, so she gave Qiu'er to Aunt Gu for temporary use.

Aunt Gu smiled, with an easy-going face: "Qiu'er is Aunt Yue's person, and she follows the concubine to serve, and that's because Aunt Yue is kind." If the concubine calls her for such a trivial matter, wouldn't she be too ignorant? ”

Shang Wanyu felt a burst of disdain in her heart, you are ignorant to ask her to work, and you are sensible to put people outside the door to blow the cold wind?

Aunt Gu glanced at Shang Wanyu and found that her expression was a little uneasy, she was stunned for a moment, she didn't take it to heart, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you come back so soon?" ”

Regarding Aunt Gu's attitude, Shang Wanyi dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, lowered her eyebrows and said: "I followed her out and went all the way to the used bookstore on Zhengping Street." I watched her enter the bookstore and talk to a young Taoist priest, but she didn't speak, it was all the brocade book next to her. It was a little far away, and I couldn't hear what they were saying. ”

Aunt Gu frowned, pondered it carefully, and then remembered that when she lived in Huarong Inn, there were indeed two Taoists, one old and one young, who lived on the second floor with her. Could this young Taoist priest be the one at Huarong Inn?

Shang Wanyu continued: "I was about to sneak in with Lu Zao pretending to buy books, but who knew that King Jin's convoy passed by and accidentally collided. King Jin heard that I was the third lady of the Wuwei Hou Mansion, and she didn't say anything, but she also heard the movement outside and chased it out, but fortunately, I ran fast with Lu Zao. ”

When Aunt Gu heard this, her face couldn't help but feel angry: "Why did you collide with King Jin?" Wouldn't you be recognized by the bowl spirit? ”

Shang Wan hurriedly said: "Probably not, I wore a hat, and the clothes Lu Zao was wearing were bought in the ready-to-wear store, and we never looked back when we ran." Later, I was worried that she would rush back to the Hou Mansion to check what was going on, so I took Lu and she went back to the Hou Mansion one step earlier. As soon as I went back to Liuxia Pavilion to change my clothes, she came over with a brocade book, saying that she was sending me incense sticks. I should have bought books and incense sticks and came back. ”

People have come to your yard to inspect it, and you still think that you have not aroused the suspicion of others? Aunt Gu was so angry by Shang Wanyi's stupidity.

Glancing at Shang Wanyi, who was biting her lip and lowering her head, she looked like she was angry, and Aunt Gu had a sense of powerlessness that "the mud can't be on the wall", so she finally had to sigh and said, "You go back first, don't come to my room recently." ”

Shang Wanyu first responded, and then asked hesitantly, "Auntie, don't you need me to check what books she has bought?" ”

Aunt Gu waved her hand, her face was very ugly: "No need, you can go back." ”

Shang Wanyi just hummed and went out softly, and as soon as Shang Wanqi went out, Aunt Gu dropped the flat ruler of the measuring cloth and cursed in a low voice: "Aunt Yue is a timid fool, I didn't expect the daughter born to be a timid fool!" ”

Shang Wanyu went out of the door, faintly heard the sound of scolding and throwing things from inside the house, and immediately sank his face. Seeing that only Qiu'er was squatting on the steps and puffing at her hands, she didn't see Lu Zao, and her heart was even more irritable.

Qiu'er listened to the movement behind her, hurriedly got up and turned her head to salute, and saw that Shang Wan's face was very ugly, so she hurriedly said: "Third Miss, Sister Lu Zao's stomach hurts badly, and she has gone to the thatched house." ”

Lu Zao didn't wait outside the door, Shang Wanyi originally wanted to scold her a few words, but who knew that Qiu'er said that she had a bad stomachache, and when she got to the scolding on her lips, she held it back again, her chest was stuffy and uncomfortable, she frowned, and said, "When your sister Lu Zao comes back, just say that I will go to see my aunt." ”

Qiu'er hurriedly said: "Third Miss, Aunt Yue is not in the wing, an hour ago, the second lady sent someone over, saying that there was something to help Auntie, and Auntie went over." ”

What can the second lady do when she asks Aunt Yue to go over? It's just those trivial and troublesome things, and the second lady doesn't want to do them, so they are all lost to Aunt Yue. Last time, the house wanted to make clothes for the maids, mothers-in-law, and small servants, and the second lady asked Aunt Yue to take someone to measure the size for everyone, and Aunt Yue was busy for three whole days before she was busy, and the whole person lost weight after being busy.

Thinking of this, Shang Wanyu felt sorry for Aunt Yue in her heart, and she was angry, her feelings were like turning over the river and the sea, and finally she gritted her teeth and said: "Then you will tell Lu Zao, I will go back to Liuxia Pavilion first, let her come back quickly!" ”

Qiu'er was busy.

Shang Wanyan and Jinshu were stopped halfway through.

Shang Wanyan looked coldly at the woman who suddenly rushed out to block the way, ten years old, slender eyebrows, small red lips, pointed chin, white and small, wearing a half-used cotton jacket in blue color, her body looked a little bloated, but it was difficult to hide her appearance.

After rushing out, without waiting for Shang Wanyan to react, he knelt in front of Shang Wanyan and kowtowed with a snap, with tears in his eyes, and pleaded in his mouth: "Ask the eldest lady to be the master of the servant!" ”

Jin Shu glanced at the Evergreen Courtyard not far away, and could faintly see the figures walking in the courtyard, only to be hooked up again by Shang Wan's anger of tracking and calculating.

With a grim face full of frost, he said angrily: "Miss, don't care about these cats and dogs, let's go this way!" ”

Shang Wanyan pursed her lips, and sure enough, she raised her foot and followed the brocade book to the side, wanting to bypass this woman.

Who knew that Shang Wanyan had just moved her feet, and the woman knelt on the ground and moved a few steps, blocking the way of Shang Wanyan and Jinshu.

This is a deliberate attempt to entangle them! Jin Shu was furious, and was about to move her aside, Shang Wanyan looked at it coldly, and just when Jin Shu was about to push the woman, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly stopped Jin Shu: "Slow! ”

Jin Shu couldn't stop it, and the woman was pushed to the side, and her hands were tightly protecting her stomach.

Shang Wanyan's face was ugly, and she asked the woman on the ground with a dark face: "Your name is Gui Ni?" ”

The woman was crying out in pain, but she was stunned when she heard this, and her face was surprised: "How does the eldest lady know that the maid's name is Gui Ni?" ”

Shang Wanyan's face became even more ugly: "Are you the maid in the Hou Ye's room?" ”

Gui Nilen nodded, she obviously hadn't met with the eldest lady yet, how did the eldest lady know her identity?

Jinshu glanced at Shang Wanyan with a black face, and then at Gui Ni with a blank face, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Miss knows her?" ”

Shang Wanyan didn't answer Jinshu's question, she only felt that something in her brain exploded, which made her brain hurt and she had some difficulty breathing.

In her panic, she heard herself ask the last question: "Are you pregnant?" ”
