Chapter 32: The Truth
Chunlan muttered, but the seventeenth son, who had lost his mind, suddenly heard it clearly.
"What do you say? Is there such a person? He was surprised and asked, "Or your sister?" β
Chunlan came back to her senses, hurriedly took a few steps back, lowered her head and didn't answer.
"The slave is wrong." She mumbled.
The seventeenth prince snorted and hit Chunlan on the head with a fan.
"Take me for a fool! Hurry up and tell me who it is! Otherwise, I'll let my aunt sell you! He said viciously.
Chunlan was suddenly anxious, aggrieved, and afraid.
Mrs. Cheng has always been accustomed to pampering this maiden nephew, and this nephew is a domineering person, even if she can not be sold, but according to this son's domineering and retributive nature, she doesn't want to stay with the fourth son.
The little girl's tears are about to come out.
"The slave really can't remember, and in a trance, I feel like the eldest lady of the second master's family." She choked up.
"Liar, I've seen all the sisters of the second master's family, how can there be such a beauty." The seventeenth prince said, while stepping forward viciously again, reaching out and grabbing his collar, his eyes rolled, looking at the little girl and snorting, "If you don't say anything about it, I'll tell my aunt that you seduce me!" β
Chunlan was so frightened that her soul was scattered, and when she saw that the seventeenth prince really reached out and grabbed his collar and was about to show his arms, she couldn't help but scream and knelt down.
The slaves and maids of the girls were intimidated and didn't do anything to them, and this kind of bad thing about saying what they did to others was the first time they had encountered it.
Although the subject is different, the effect is the same for the servant, and even more terrible for the latter.
"It's the eldest lady of the second master's family. Because stupid. He was raised outside since he was a child. She only came back last year, and now she was picked up by her grandfather's house, and the seventeenth prince naturally has never seen it. She cried.
The seventeenth prince sighed.
The Cheng family was born in the second room and raised a fool, and he naturally listened to his family's gossip and laughter.
"That idiot?" He turned his head again in disbelief to look at the painting.
The beauty in the painting looked at him quietly, like a fairy.
As he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Cheng Shilang stepped in, and saw Chunlan kneeling on the ground at a glance. Seeing the seventeenth prince standing in front of several cases, his brows furrowed.
"Seventeen is here, sit down." He said to hide his displeasure.
The seventeenth prince looked at him, his eyes moved slightly, and he reached out to take it.
"Fourth brother, this fool from the second uncle's family you painted doesn't look like it at all." He said with a grin.
"It's not like that, she's like that." Cheng Shilang blurted out.
As soon as he spoke, he saw that the expression of the seventeenth prince suddenly understood, and he suddenly said in his heart that he was damned, and he was actually caught.
"No, it's not. I didn't draw her. He hurriedly said.
But it was too late, and the seventeenth prince had long ignored him. Turning around and standing in front of the painting again, he looked at the beauty with a shocked expression.
"It turns out that a fool can be so beautiful." He said, his eyes lit up.
Outside the old lady Chen's kitchen, there were many servants and girls standing and squeezing to look inside, pushing and shoving, pushing and shoving, you squeezing me, I stepped on you, she blocked her, whispering, noisy, and stealing.
Through the lattice, you can see a woman sitting inside, her hair covered with cloth, her wide sleeves tied up, and she is concentrating on grinding something.
In front of her, two girls were serving three trays one by one, on which were cold dishes and rice.
Cheng Jianniang grinded loose tea and roasted it on the side, and Banqin sprinkled the roasted tea on a dish.
"Alright." After watching the tea be sprinkled, Cheng Jianniang said, standing up.
Two girls hurriedly came in, saluted them and picked up the tray, and waited for Cheng Jiaoniang's master and servant to come out first before they followed.
The servants and girls outside the door were busy watching.
ββ¦ Well done...... exquisite"
"What kind of fish is this......"
ββ¦ This fruit is so well fried...."
ββ¦ It doesn't smell good, I don't know how it tastes...."
There was a lot of talking, laughing and watching the girls deliver the food into the old lady Chen's hall.
Chen Shao and his wife had already eaten at this time, and sat down to continue the topic.
"She is similar to Eighteen Niang, I think she is much more sensible than Eighteen Niang." Mrs. Chen said.
"How can that be the same?" Chen Shao shook his head and said, "How did Eighteen Niang grow up, and how did she grow up." β
Mrs. Chen nodded.
"Then it's better that she can grow like this." She said, smiling, "It's really blessed by the gods." β
Chen Shao was slightly distracted
This woman seems to be quiet and soft, but she is very strong, and everything seems to be in her hands under this quiet and not much saying or doing.
For example, the Zhou family relied on the naughty boy to pick her up, but what was the result, in addition to making a fuss, the woman still lived in the house after the worst incident, and everything was still according to her arrangement, just a while.
Is this an independent and lonely walk that has been cultivated without support and abandoned by the mother and father?
There are many people in this world who want to be independent, but not everyone can do it.
There are people who are born smart, but those who can become smart after being born stupid are not destiny, but manpower.
Chen Shao sat up straight with some urgency.
"I hope the news comes soon." He said.
Mrs. Chen was puzzled.
"What's the news?" She said.
"And the people of the state." He said
The family sent someone to inquire about Mrs. Cheng's affairs, and Mrs. Chen also knew the truth and felt that it should be.
After the husband and wife spoke, they came to Mrs. Chen's side, and when they entered the door, they heard Chen Danniang talking.
"Anything else? I want to eat another bowl. She said.
When I heard the servant say that there was no more, the child's temper still came up, and the action of putting the dishes and chopsticks was a little bigger.
"No rules." Chen Shao immediately scolded.
Chen Danniang knew that she was wrong, bowed her head and didn't dare to speak again.
Knowing that Mrs. Cheng had left, Chen Shao and his wife were a little surprised.
"Sister Cheng said she was here to invite us to dinner, and she left after the invitation." Chen Danniang said.
Chen Shao smiled.
"What? Don't listen to guest reviews? He asked.
"I've seen everything in my mind, and I'll talk about it." Old lady Chen said, looking at the two granddaughters beside him. "You don't have to listen to it to know it."
Chen Danniang is a child. I couldn't help but look at the empty plate. Although Chen Bainiang was a few years older, she was slowly reluctant to swallow the last piece of tender fish on the plate.
"Such a good craft?" Chen Shao asked.
Old Lady Chen nodded, with a bit of a sigh.
My lady taught me.
The joyful look and words of the servant girl at the first sight appeared in front of him.
That's right, that's right.
Those words that were once familiar with flattering or flattering things that were considered hypocritical, if they were the people around Cheng Niangzi, they should be taken seriously, because they were the truth.
The carriage in which Cheng Jianniang's carriage sat was still rented from Qiaotou. Seeing Cheng Jianniang's master and servant being sent out by a group of servants, the coachman who had been drinking a bowl of tea tremblingly for a long time in the Chen family's gatehouse hurriedly jumped up, until he drove out of the street and relieved himself like a fish in water.
The inconspicuous foreign master and servant who lived in that house, the little lady who always rented a car and a horse when she went out, turned out to be the guest of Chen Xianggong's house.
"Although it costs a few bucks to rent a horse in the capital, my family's carriage is very clean, and I brush it every day after I go back." The coachman couldn't help but say.
The maidservant sitting in front of the car smiled.
"I know, otherwise why would I always rent you?" She laughed.
The coachman was reassured and relieved again.
"Do you want to buy a car and a horse?" He boldly suggested.
How can you go in and out of Chen Xianggong's house, but you can't raise cars and horses.
"In that case, I'll have to buy another driver." "We don't have to be here for long, and we don't go out very often," said the maid. So no. β
The lady doesn't seem to like to be spotted, nor does she like carriages with special markings.
I met the money in front of the door. The coachman walked away happily.
Jin Ge'er opened the door when the car rang, happily took it, and before he had taken a few steps, someone rushed over from the spur and squeezed him aside.
"It's you again!" The maidservant shouted, looking at the young man in front of her, glaring angrily, "Master Zhou, what do you want to do!" Isn't the lesson enough! Do you have any other friends? β
Hitting people does not slap people in the face, scolding people does not expose shortcomings, this can naturally be said in reverse.
Sure enough, there are slaves and maids for all masters.
One is silent, the other is sharp-toothed, both are annoying.
Liuliulang's face turned pale, and he shoved a box in his hand suddenly.
"What is this?" The maid couldn't stop being stuffed into her hand, and shouted, she looked down.
Jin Ge'er and Banqin, who had been quietly guarding Cheng Jianniang's side, also looked over.
It is a snack box with a marker engraved on it.
It's the same as the refreshments made by Taipingju, but the words on it...
"Mystic view." The maidservant said, sneering, "What's good..."
Before her words fell, Brother Jin on the side screamed.
"Mystic view! Mystery view! He shouted, as if he had seen something rare, and almost danced with his hands, "Lady, mysterious! β
When Banqin left, there were still two Xuanmiaoguan in Jiangzhou, and when the maidservant came, Xuanmiaoguan was gradually becoming famous, and left Jiangzhou before he noticed it.
Speaking of which, the one who is most familiar with the mystical view is Jin Ge'er.
Jin Ge'er shouted, and the maid also came back to her senses and remembered.
"It's from Jiangzhou?" She asked hesitantly, looking at the young man in front of her.
So I deliberately brought the products of Jiangzhou to let the lady relieve homesickness?
There was something strange about her expression.
I'll marry you...
The words rumbled in her ears, and the maidservant couldn't help but be smart.
Saturday turned and walked away, got on his horse and went into the street without looking back.
The maid took the box and turned to look at Cheng Jianniang.
"Lady, thisβ" she said.
"I wonder how I'm doing now?" Cheng Jianniang said, a smile appeared on her lips.
The lady lives in Xuanmiaoguan, and it seems that she often eats at that time, so she is happy to see it.
This Saturday Lang, for so long, has been doing this thing like a human being.
The maid smiled and took the box and led the way to the door.
"Then let's try it, I've only heard it at home, and I haven't eaten it yet." She said.
The group entered the house, Jin Ge'er intervened in the door, Banqin was busy preparing water, Cheng Jianniang was about to step up the steps, and the courtyard wall on the left suddenly sounded, which frightened everyone in the courtyard to stop and look over.
A hand slowly stretched out from the high wall.
This is a slender hand, which shines in the sunlight and is particularly bright, and for a time everyone has only this hand in their eyes.
"What the hell!"
Jin Ge'er was the first to shout, holding his head and squatting down.
His shout made Banqin and the maidservant, who were originally just in a daze, subconsciously scream.
The hand seemed to be frightened by the screams of the man and woman, and shook off the wall, and then another hand grabbed the wall, and a head poked out from behind the wall.
The black eyebrows, the eyes as bright as the stars, the high bridge of the nose, and the thin lips, and the face as white as jade are condescendingly presented in front of the people in the courtyard.
"Scared the hell out of me! Almost fell! Where are the ghosts? He asked, raising his eyebrows, staring at Cheng Jianniang, a smile appeared on his lips, and he complained a little, "Because of you, I'm scared again!" β
