Chapter 40: Going Out
Hearing that Shang Wanyan was going out, the second lady really rushed to arrange a carriage and arranged for someone to follow.
Yesterday, Shang Wanyan took the initiative to show her goodwill, and today the second lady did not hide it, and said bluntly: "Yuan Niang, don't blame me for being an aunt, but my sister-in-law is gone, and now the Hou Mansion is the old lady in charge, if something goes wrong, my aunt is not easy to explain in front of your grandmother." ”
Shang Wanyan had already expected this result, and she didn't embarrass the second lady, so she responded directly.
The second lady heard that Shen Mama in Shang Wanyan's yard was sick, in addition to the coachman who was driving the car, she sent a mother-in-law to follow, and told Shang Wanyan that this Mrs. Lu often walks around outside, and she is very familiar with where to sell something. Two more servants were sent to follow, saying that they were helping to carry things.
Shang Wanyan didn't want to do anything unseemly when she went out, the second lady just stuffed people over, and she just responded. Among these people, who is the old lady's person and who is the second lady's person, she must have explored the **.
By the time I finally packed up and went out, it was almost time.
The woman knew that she was not treated well by Shang Wanyan, and after getting into the carriage, she sat on the wheel and talked to the coachman, and did not go in to disturb her eyes. Shang Wanyan saw that she was knowledgeable and interested, and she didn't say anything.
Jin Shu saw that his young lady's good mood was not affected by these people at all, he was relieved, and was about to speak, when he saw that his young lady didn't know what he was thinking, he burst out laughing.
I couldn't help but smile and asked, "Miss, is this a happy morning, the eldest young master sent his own body and silver over?" ”
Shang Wanyan's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she looked in a good mood: "My brother gave me money to spend, and I was naturally happy." It's not because of this incident. ”
"What's the reason for that?" Jin Shu was a little curious, there were so many things that happened this morning, she didn't think that there was anything worthy of her young lady's pleasure.
Shang Wanyan pursed her lips, she didn't have to be so restrained in front of the brocade book, and said directly with a smile: "Guess what, just now the second lady brought Mrs. Lu over and quietly stuffed me with five taels of silver!" ”
"That's it?" Jin Shu is a little unbelievable, his own lady has his wife's dowry in his hand, and when he was in Pengzhou before, there were Su family things from time to time, and his life was not only not poor, but very lenient, so that he would not be happy like this because of five taels of silver! She's not the kind of person with shallow eyelids!
"That's because of this!" Shang Wanyan nodded, and when she remembered the way the second lady secretly stuffed the silver to her, she couldn't help but want to laugh, "The second lady said, our family has been in our family for so long, and there has never been a little lady who has to give money when she goes out on the street, let me keep my mouth tight, don't let the second mother, the third mother and the fourth mother know." ”
Jinshu is not stupid, and immediately figured out what was going on, the second lady was using the money of the official to do favors! I was a little unhappy in my heart, thinking that the second lady wanted to exchange for the closeness of her own young lady with five taels of silver, and she was underestimating her own young lady.
At the moment, I couldn't care about Shang Wanyan's joy, and said directly: "Miss is also careless, we don't lack these five taels of silver, she used the money in the official to give Miss a favor today, and I don't know how much to stuff into her purse in the past!" There is a hole in the account, if it is found one day, I can't say that I will pull Miss into the water! Why did the young lady want to wade into this troubled water? ”
The more Jin Shu spoke, the more he felt that what he said made sense, so his tone became even more bitter: "When we go back, Miss will return the silver to the second lady intact, right?" If the young lady is reluctant, the maid has saved some money over the years......"
"You're going to have to use your private money." Without waiting for Jinshu to finish speaking, Shang Wanyan interrupted her words with a restrained look, thinking of Lu Pozi outside, she lowered her voice and said, "What idea she plays, I naturally know it in my heart, you don't have to worry, even if you pull me into the water, I will also be able to swim." ”
As soon as Shang Wanyan said this, Jin Shu's brows furrowed even tighter: "Since Miss knows that the second lady is calculating you, why bother to go up and calculate for her?" ”
Why bother to put together and give people a calculation? Shang Wanyan was slightly distracted, stunned for a moment, and then came back to her senses and said, "Naturally, it's because it feels good to be calculated!" ”
Jin Shu's eyes widened, thinking that his young lady was talking crazy, how could it be good to feel calculated?
Then I heard Shang Wanyan continue: "Being calculated to prove that we are still alive!" ”
Shang Wanyan remembered that in her previous life, she knelt alone at the gate of the Wuwei Hou Mansion, and at that time, no one in the Wuwei Hou Mansion was willing to calculate her, and she was avoided, so she knew what despair was.
Jinshu naturally didn't understand this, and Shang Wanyan didn't plan to ask her to understand. Shang Wanyan ordered the carriage to go to the bookstore. There is a second-hand bookstore on Zhengping Street, not far from the Wuwei Hou Mansion, and the coachman drove the carriage directly over.
While speaking, the carriage stopped, and Shang Wanyan heard Lu Pozi asking loudly outside: "Miss, the place has arrived, do you want to get off the car and see it for yourself, or tell the slave and maid what to buy, and the slave and maid get off the car and pick it?" ”
Shang Wanyan then asked Jinshu to put a hat on her, and reached out to open the curtain: "Let's go, I'll go down and have a look." ”
Lu Pozi is a neat person, and when she heard this, she immediately drove the coachman out of the carriage, and then jumped down herself, turned around and helped Shang Wanyan out of the carriage.
As soon as she got out of the carriage, she suddenly heard a commotion, Shang Wanyan looked in the direction where the noise came from through her hat, and saw several vendors with baskets on their backs or carrying burdens or pushing carts running towards this side, as if something was chasing behind.
Jin Shu's eyes were quick, he grabbed a lady who sold vegetables and asked, "Auntie, but what happened?" ”
The eldest lady was in a hurry to leave, and she couldn't break free from the brocade book, so she shouted angrily: "It's King Jin's convoy that is coming this way." ”
As soon as Jin Shu's hand was loosened, the eldest lady immediately ran away without looking back, Jin Shu turned his head to ask Shang Wanyan's opinion, Shang Wanyan didn't want to cause trouble, thought about it, and said: "Let's go into the bookstore, let the coachman drive the carriage to find an alley to avoid, and come to pick us up later." ”
While speaking, he had already seen the carriage of King Jin and his entourage, the dazzling brocade banner fluttering in the wind, Jinshu did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly instructed the coachman to drive the carriage away, and then turned around and chased Shang Wanyan into the bookstore.
Jinshu listened to the movement of chickens and dogs jumping behind him, and couldn't help muttering: "I didn't expect him to come later than us." ”
When Shang Wanyan heard this, she remembered that she forgot to help Shang Zhizhang Tijin King. It's just that Shang Zhizhang is now standing on the side of Aunt Gu, if he mentions King Jin's help with him, wouldn't he take the initiative to find an excuse for him to clean himself up?
But if you don't mention this matter, firstly, you can't live with your benefactor, and secondly, you are worried that this will make Han Lang hate herself.
Shang Wanyan pondered and pondered, but did not come up with a way to achieve both.
Shang Wanyan was looking down to think about things, when she suddenly heard Jinshu whispering beside her, and couldn't help but look up at Jinshu, but saw Jinshu pointing to the back of a Taoist robe in the pile of books, and lowered her voice and said, "That person is a bit like the little Taoist priest who lives in Huarong Inn with us." ”
Shang Wanyan couldn't help but look over, but the person heard Jinshu's words, just turned his head and met Shang Wanyan's gaze.
Who is this man who is not evil? Thinking of that night, this person quietly climbed through the window and entered her room, standing in front of her bed, Shang Wanyan's pretty face under the cover of the hat suddenly smiled, cold as frost.
The man was not interested, and stood up from the pile of books suddenly, he took a big step, and arrived in front of Shang Wanyan in a few steps, with a look of surprise: "Such a coincidence, it's you!" ”
Shang Wanyan looked at Chang Xie coldly and didn't speak, Jin Shu also felt that something was wrong when he saw this, he just accidentally fell on Miss, if it wasn't for her good memory, she would have forgotten about this person. But listening to this familiar tone, I don't know how good a friendship they have!
Immediately, he blocked in front of Shang Wanyan, and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong with this Dao Chief?" ”
Just from the tone of voice, you can hear the meaning of the warning.
Chang Xie stopped his steps, the smile on his face was a little stiff, he followed Shang Wanyan all the way into Beijing, and from time to time he hid in the dark to observe Shang Wanyan, wanting to see if she would usually come into contact with any astrologers.
It can be said that Shang Wanyan's every move during this period of time was under his nose. So for him, Shang Wanyan is already a familiar person who can't be more familiar, and when he was stopped by Jinshu, he remembered that for Shang Wanyan, he was just a stranger who had seen two sides.
