Chapter 56: Threats
"Don't come here! Don't come here! β
The shrill shouts of young men sounded in the hall, and the shopkeeper who had gone downstairs couldn't help but look back again, and could even imagine the ghostly face of the young man hiding among the women at this time.
"Are you a family?" He couldn't help but ask, looking at the attendant who was in charge of arranging the meal who had followed him downstairs.
Not now, of course, but probably in the future.
The attendant hesitated for a moment, hummed twice, and did not answer.
But this is a tacit acquiescence in the eyes of the shopkeeper, but he said it so vaguely, it is not the grandson of the grandfather on crutches in the cradle as the saying goes, and the generation is not according to age.
Seeing that this young man is from a rich family, it is common for the master of a rich family to marry a young man.
"So this is a stepmother?" The shopkeeper couldn't help but say.
The attendant, who was descending the last step, nearly fell to the ground.
"Fuck off!" He raised his hand and slapped the shopkeeper, slapped his hat crooked, and shouted angrily, "Stuff your mouth full of horse manure again!" β
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he covered his head and didn't dare to speak again.
Cheng Jianniang did not walk to Wang Qilang's side, but sat down on the felt mat on the other side.
The two women also hurriedly sat down, looking at Wang Qilang, who had almost shrunk into the arms of the group of women, with a look of surprise.
They naturally know about the seventeenth lang of the Wang family, but it is the first time they have seen it, and it looks really good, but it is a little thin....
At this time, I was scared like this, because I also knew that the lady had sued Master Cheng?
Seeing Wang Qilang like this, Cheng Jianniang smiled and didn't look at him again, but sat down and looked at the mountain and snow scenery outside.
Wang Qilang did not breathe a sigh of relief. On the contrary, my heart will jump out of my frightened heart.
"Childe. Who is this lady? The beautiful maid next to her couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
They were also startled when they first saw the little lady's face.
Such a beautiful little lady will definitely like it. But he didn't expect his son-in-law to be scared.
It's sure to be frightened, not joyful.
"Shut up, shut up." Wang Qilang shouted.
After coming out for so many days, this is the first time that the son has murdered them like this, and several beautiful maids immediately brought rain to pear blossoms.
It's a pity that the son didn't pity the jade, but stared at the little lady, his face full of fear and vigilance.
His nervous fear didn't affect the atmosphere over there, and the guys came in streams. Lay out a full meal on a few tables.
"Although the lady doesn't eat alcohol, I ordered some wine when it was cold." The attendant said respectfully.
Cheng Jianniang nodded.
"Yes, although I don't eat alcohol, the two ladies still have to taste it." She said, gesturing as she stretched out her hand.
The shopkeeper hurriedly put two bottles of wine on the two women's tables.
"Ahh We don't eat alcohol either."
The two women laughed and waved their hands.
Of course, they don't eat alcohol, where to eat, at most they can drink some lees mixed with water during the New Year's holidays.
Cheng Jianniang smiled slightly.
"Don't be polite, ladies and gentlemen, you want to enjoy the snow with wine." She said, "If it weren't for my health, I would have eaten it." β
The two women were relieved. They didn't know how many rules they had, they all learned from others. This lady doesn't tell them the rules, and this lady really doesn't despise and dislike them.
A person dislikes a person, that can be seen in his eyes, that kind of contempt and disgust, the two women are often seen in the eyes of the Cheng family's housekeepers, and as for the housewives of the Cheng family, they don't even have a chance to see them.
This lady is completely different from those people, when she looks at them, she is very calm and quiet, she does not look up or look down, all beings are equal.
"It's really good wine." A woman opened the flask and smelled the aroma in admiration.
After walking for a long time and being hungry in winter, the table was soon let go, laughing, eating and drinking was very lively, Cheng Jianniang did not join them in laughing, and the two women did not feel restrained, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
In contrast, Wang Qilang's side was a little offended.
A few of the maidservants moved.
"What for?" Wang Qilang immediately shouted.
"Childe" The maidservant looked at him with an aggrieved face, stretched out her hand and rubbed her legs, "Our feet are numb..."
"Childe, if you're not happy eating here, let's go." The other maid whispered.
Walk?
Wang Qilang only felt desolate in his heart.
He's gone so far, and he's still caught up by this woman!
"Cheng Jianniang!" He shouted as he jerked to his feet.
This sudden shout made everyone in the hall stunned and looked at Wang Qilang.
Wang Qilang tilted his face a little distorted.
"Oops," he leaned over to touch his leg.
The two women looked at him with shocked expressions as they bit their chopsticks.
"Childe is numb in his legs!" The maids reacted and shouted, and suddenly they were busy supporting and rubbing their legs, and the sound of warblers and swallows was mixed with Wang Qilang's strange screams, and it became a mess again.
Cheng Jianniang took the marigold, retracted her gaze, and continued to drink water slowly to look at the mountain scenery outside.
"Cheng Jianniang, you, what do you want to do?"
Wang Qilang pushed away the maidservants, limped over a few steps, and asked.
Cheng Jianniang turned her head to look at him.
"Look at the snow." She said, holding her marigold finger and gesturing outside.
This woman is the best at pretending to be stupid, and the more fierce the killer, the better at disguise, Wang Qilang snorted in his heart.
"Look, then, I'm leaving." He gritted his teeth and said.
Cheng Jianniang put down the marigold.
"What do you want to do?" Wang Qilang was so frightened that he took a step back and pointed and said.
Cheng Jianniang saluted him.
"Childe is good to go." She said.
Wang Qilang swallowed his saliva, Okay, you said this, don't expect me to understand whether you want to welcome or refuse, he turned around and left.
The maid behind him didn't react, and only came back to her senses when she heard the sound of pedaling on the stairs, and hurriedly shouted that Gongzi followed in a disorderly manner, accompanied by a burst of incense fan, and the hall finally quieted down.
The prostitute on the mat sat dumbfounded.
"Oops. I haven't paid for the fat powder yet! One shouted. Get up and chase after it. was called by Cheng Jianniang.
"Do you have anything else to do?" Cheng Jianniang asked.
The eyes of the two prostitutes flashed slightly, and their gaze swept over the woman in front of them.
Although he did not wear gold and silver, the materials of this dress were of high quality and well-made, and then he thought that the rich man was obviously frightened by this lady and fled, so it can be seen that it must be more powerful.
"Nope." The two of them hurriedly saluted and said with a smile.
"Then let's play a tune to cheer up." Cheng Jianniang said.
"Then the money of the boy of Shicai," said a prostitute tentatively.
"I paid for it." Cheng Jianniang said with a smile.
The two prostitutes were immediately more pleased, and hurriedly took a few steps and sat down on their knees.
"What does the lady want to hear?"
"It's good to be cheerful and festive." Cheng Jianniang said.
The two prostitutes answered, tuning the strings. Ding Ding Dong played and sang.
The two women smiled happily, there was nothing to appreciate in the snowy scene, but it was too luxurious to have wine and food and play and sing to entertain them.
The hall here is still lively, and Wang Qilang is speeding in a car over there.
The two most favored maidservants sitting in the carriage shrank in the corner of the car at this time, with tea soup still on their faces, and spots on their clothes.
"Childe, we're going back to the city inn. Or where to go? A cautious inquiry came from outside the car.
"What are you doing back in town! People are chasing after them, don't run yet! Wang Qilang shouted.
Immediately there was silence outside the car. The speed of the carriage increased significantly, and the bumps were even worse.
Wang Qilang was a little indignant and pushed away the platform that had knocked down his body because of the bumps, and exhaled heavily.
run
Where can you go?
I hid out, but people still caught up!
This terrible woman! Why don't you let him go?
Wang Qilang stretched out his hand and touched his face, face...
I blame myself for being too handsome! It turns out that beauty is really a sin.
Thinking of this, Wang Qilang's eyes lit up.
"Stop!" He shouted.
The car came to a sudden, because it was so sudden, the horses neighed, and there were several screams in the car.
"Go back, go back." Wang Qilang did not reprimand the driver who almost let himself fall out of the car, but shouted with the curtain of the car.
The driver did not dare to slack off and hurriedly turned the head of the car.
"Childe, where are you going?" He asked, hesitantly.
"Of course, it's back to the Shenglou!" Wang Qilang shouted.
The coachman was busy urging the horses.
Looking at the young man who turned around outside the door, the guys in Lanshenglou were a little surprised, the banquet was all cleaned up, wouldn't they just go out for a run and come back and continue to eat, right?
Wang Qilang took a few deep breaths in the car and jumped out of the carriage.
"Is there a knife?" He turned to ask the guy next to him.
The little guy was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
"Childe, what are you going to do?" He asked in a trembling voice.
This Cheng family lady can't be messed with!
"Nonsense, give it to me!" Wang Qilang raised his eyebrows and shouted.
The little guy didn't dare to disobey and asked the guards on the side with a bitter face.
"That's it?" Wang Qilang looked at the palm-sized dagger handed over and asked with a glare.
"Childe, that's the only one." "Either it's a stick." β
Wang Qilang sighed and picked up the dagger.
"So be it." He said, taking a deep breath again, looking at the second floor, listening to the sound of the piano and singing from it....
Isn't this a prostitute you hired yourself? You're welcome to this woman!
"You're all waiting here! No one is allowed to come with you! He said to the people beside him, clenching the small dagger in his hand and stepping forward.
The maids and maids of the Wang family's entourage all looked panicked.
"Childe, childeβ" the maidservants shouted in a trembling voice, but they did not dare to catch up.
"Childe, what are you doing here?"
"Childe doesn't like that Cheng family lady, won't he want to beat her?"
Hearing this, Wang Qilang's little servant tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"It's not certain who hits whom...," he muttered.
The sound of footsteps did not attract the attention of the people who were eating, drinking, and laughing, eating and drinking, and a few men scattered around and seemed to be random and well-rounded.
When they looked over, they saw Wang Qilang as if they hadn't seen it.
And the woman never looked back, sat with her back to her, leaning on a few points, holding a marigold in one hand and tapping her knees to the sound of the piano in the other.
What a picture of a beautiful woman enjoying the snow.
Wang Qilang was stunned for a moment, and in a daze, the beauty turned around and smiled at him, and in an instant, the beauty's face turned into a white skeleton.
Wang Qilang called out.
This time, everyone in the hall looked at him, even the prostitute who was playing the piano stopped, and Cheng Jianniang also turned her head.
It turned out that Shicai was his own hallucination, and Wang Qilang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cheng Jianniang, come here." He took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice.
Cheng Jianniang sighed, and sure enough, she stood up in response, and saw that the two women were also busy standing up, so she shook her head with a smile.
"Sit down." She said, motioning for the two prostitutes to continue.
The sound of the piano continued again.
"What do you command?" Cheng Jianniang asked, standing in front of Wang Qilang.
As she walked over, Wang Qilang took a few steps back.
"You, you come with me, I have something to tell you." He said, looking left and right, and the screen on the other side separated a private room, cutting off the view, and he walked over there.
Cheng Jianniang didn't ask anything to follow.
Entering the private room, Wang Qilang, who was facing out of the window, stiffened for a moment, and then turned around suddenly.
Cheng Jianniang's expression was slightly stunned.
"What do you mean, Prince Wang?" She asked with another smile.
Wang Qilang held a small dagger in his hand, and when he pulled out the scabbard, the tip of the blade was shining.
"Cheng Jianniang, don't you want to pester me anymore!" He said in a dumb voice, "I will never marry you." β
Cheng Jianniang sighed, looked at Wang Qilang thoughtfully, and did not speak.
"If you refuse to let me go and pester me, I will, I will..."
"Just kill me?" Cheng Jianniang asked.
Wang Qilang snorted.
"Kill you, I know, you're powerful, I can't kill you, but I can kill myself!" He said, "Aren't you, you, just fascinated by my face?" If you force me again, I, I'll be disfigured! β
As he spoke, he aimed his dagger at his face with his backhand. (To be continued......)
