Chapter 18: The Past of the House
Yunshang helped Moyu and followed Wang Zhen'er to her room. Wang Zhen'er, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, hurriedly ordered people to fetch hot water and brought clean clothes.
Mo Yu smiled: "I'm causing trouble to my sister, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, so I didn't bring a change of clothes." ”
Wang Zhen'er walked up to her with her clothes and said, "Where is this, you are the great benefactor of our Wang family, if it weren't for you today, I'm afraid the two of them would have ...... I guess I thank you. Besides, isn't it just a piece of clothing? No matter how stingy I am, I won't be reluctant to even give up a piece of clothing. As he spoke, he handed the tray with the clothes to Yunshang's hand, and said, "Go to the back and change your clothes, so as not to get cold for a while." ”
Mo Yu said "thank you", and then walked behind the screen with Yunshang to change clothes.
At the same time, a little maid came in and whispered to Wang Zhen'er that Lin Chen came to find her in the evening. Wang Zhen'er's smiling face instantly became cold, and as the little maid walked into the courtyard, she saw Lin Chenwan, who was dressed in pink, standing there waiting for her.
Lin Chen saw Wang Zhen'er approaching in the evening, and hurriedly took two steps forward and asked, "Sister Wang, how is she, did she faint like Zhao Danxiu?" ”
Wang Zhen'er was expressionless and said coldly: "You really want her to faint?" ”
Seeing that Wang Zhen'er's face and tone were not very good, Lin Chenwan was nervous and scared in her heart, and said timidly: "Sister Wang......"
Wang Zhen'er took a step to the left, avoiding facing her face-to-face, and said, "Lin Chenwan, I don't care if you want to deal with Ji Moyu, but you shouldn't do this kind of thing in my palace." If it weren't for her today, there would have been two murders in my Wang family, these two people are not ordinary people, and you can't escape if you make trouble in front of the palace. Don't think that everything will be fine if you find a black pot, before the guillotine, who will ignore their own lives and carry the charge of murder for you. ”
Lin Chenwan also realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Sister Wang, I didn't mean to, I just wanted her to fall down the steps, I really didn't expect things to develop to this point." Sister Wang, you save me. ”
"Get up! Don't kneel to me, I don't have the power to cover up for attempted murder for you. ”
"Well, I didn't want to kill anyone, I just wanted to catch her."
Wang Zhen'er was angry, "Scratch? You almost killed someone with this grab. ”
Lin Chenwan thought for a while and said, "Sister Wang, they may not know that I did it, the person hit her from behind at that time, and she may not have seen it, besides, there were so many people on the bridge at that time, it was normal to be hit by someone." ”
"Hmph, Ji Moyu is such a smart person, I don't know if it's your little trick."
Lin Chenwan stood up and said puzzledly: "No! Seeing that she didn't even talk much today, how did my sister know that she was smart? ”
Wang Zhen'er recalled the Miss Ji family she saw today, her temperament, her manners, and her conversation were by no means just a country woman as rumored in the outside world. She doesn't talk much, but every word she says is very clever, that is, she defends herself and does not offend others.
A little girl came out to report that Miss Ji had changed her clothes. Wang Zhen'er glanced at Lin Chenwan and said, "Are you going to the front yard to eat or stay?" ”
Lin Chenwan thought for a while and said, "I'd better stay!" "If there is any situation, we can be the first to know.
The two walked into the back room, Mo Yu had already changed into clean clothes, and when she saw Wang Zhen'er following Lin Chenwan, she sneered twice in her heart, but her face did not change, and she said with a smile: "Sister, I have already changed." Sister Lin is also here, I don't know how Sister Zhao is, why don't we go and see her! ”
Wang Zhen'er said with a smile: "She is in another room, the doctor has already prescribed medicine, presumably there is nothing to do, it's good to go and see." ”
So the three of them left the room and went to another room. Zhao Danxiu has woken up and is being served by the maids to drink medicine. Seeing them come in, he hurriedly got out of bed and smiled: "Sister." ”
Wang Zhen'er hurriedly walked over, pushed her back to the bed, and said with a smile: "You just woke up, lie down first!" Then he turned sideways to a noble lady beside him: "Zhen'er has seen Mrs. Zhao, Danxiu had an accident in my house today, it was Zhen'er who took poor care, and I ask Mrs. Zhao to forgive me, and Zhen'er will personally come to the door with gifts to apologize another day." ”
I have to say that Wang Zhen'er's style of governing the family is very sleek and thoughtful, Concubine De can take charge of the phoenix seal on her behalf, and her ability under her rule is not bragging, and her sister is also so powerful. It seems that Mrs. Wang is also a powerful woman, and Wang Pu can sit in the position of prime minister, which is inseparable from the credit of Mrs. Wang, the woman behind her.
Mrs. Zhao was naturally distressed when she saw her daughter like this, she heard her daughter say just now that the person pushed her on no purpose, and she didn't pursue it if she was broad-minded, as long as her daughter was fine, she had to be forgiving and forgiving. "Even if something is thoughtful, there is always an accident, I can understand it. As long as Xiu'er is fine, Miss Wang doesn't have to feel guilty. I want to thank this Miss Ji, you are the benefactor of our family. ”
Mo Yu bowed and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhao doesn't have to be so polite, Danxiu is a friend I met today, and it just so happens that I know how to be water-based, so it's just a matter of raising my hands." ”
Zhao Danxiu propped herself up and said coquettishly: "Mother, Sister Ji is fine, my daughter likes her very much." ”
Mrs. Zhao was also amused by her daughter's words, and pretended to blame: "There are no rules, and I don't know how to be more restrained in front of all the young ladies." ”
"My sisters won't laugh at me, they all know what I am, isn't it?"
Everyone was amused by her coquettish smile, and Wang Zhen'er echoed: "Yes, yes, we all know your temperament." Mrs. Zhao, you haven't eaten yet! It's better to go to the front hall to eat first, there are our sisters to take care of Xiu'er, you can rest assured. ”
Mrs. Zhao thought about it, and when their little girls were talking together, it was inconvenient for her to sit aside and disturb, so she said, "It's okay, you little girls can also whisper." Then he walked up to Moyu and said, "Miss Ji, today is your kindness, and I will definitely take Danxiu to the house to thank you another day." ”
"You're welcome."
"It should. Then you talk, I'll go out first. ”
Wang Zhen'er called the maid and asked her to lead Mrs. Zhao to the front yard for dinner. Because Moyu and Danxiu fell into the water, although their clothes were changed, their hair was still wet, so it was inconvenient to go to the front yard, so Wang Zhen'er asked people to bring some meals in, and a few people ate hastily in Wang Zhen'er's yard.
After finishing the meal and rinsing their mouths, a few people sat in the room, drinking tea and chatting. Zhao Danxiu said curiously: "Sister Wang, your family is so magnificent, I saw a lot of strange stones and green scenery when I came just now!" ”
Wang Zhen'er explained: "This mansion was rewarded by the emperor, and it was like this when we moved in. At that time, I was also shocked, I didn't expect that there are such beautiful houses in the world, not only big but also gorgeous, pavilions, cloisters, and rockeries. After we moved in, my father added a few more changes to make it what it is today. ”
Lin Chenwan said: "Lord Wang is in a high position, and he is deeply relied on by the saints, and this is the maiden home of Concubine De, so it is naturally built in a grand way to show the royal dignity." ”
Mo Yu drank tea silently, and secretly said that Lin Chenwan could not shoot the sycophants so obviously. I heard Wang Zhen'er say: "This is not newly built, I heard that it used to be the residence of Zhao Ying, the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty." After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the owner of this mansion was also killed. Later, there was no owner, and the emperor gave it to our family. ”
Surname Zhao?
For some reason, Mo Yu remembered the person who was killed at the entrance of the vegetable market ten years ago, that night, the little boy who was chased and killed, the boy named Zhao Yi.
Zhao Danxiu was puzzled: "Killed? Why were you killed? ”
"I don't know about this, I seem to have heard my father say that he was from the previous dynasty when I was a child. Throughout the ages, when dynasties change, there will always be some deaths. ”
Zhao Danxiu saw that what they said was solemn, so he complained: "Oh, don't say these people who don't die, I'm scared when I hear it." ”
Wang Zhen'er smiled: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, there is still a timid patient here!" By the way, Moyu, how can you swim? ”
"When I was young, I saw other children playing in the water, and I thought it was funny, so I went down to play, and I almost became a water ghost. Later, I hid from my family, secretly ran out to study, fell in the water a few times, drank the water a few times, and fluttered twice to learn it myself. "There is a river at the foot of Wuyan Mountain, Moyu went there to play in the water when he was fine, and he felt that he was not happy when he got tired of playing, so he learned to swim by himself, and over time, he learned it himself.
Zhao Danxiu was simple-minded and said: "I really envy you, you know so much, unlike me, my father made me stay in my room all day long, and I was suffocated." ”
What she said was from the bottom of her heart, but it didn't mean this in the ears of the other two, and they thought that Zhao Danxiu was sarcastic about Moyu being uneasy in the room!
Mo Yu smiled: "Don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know blessings, Ling Zun let you stay at home, it's for your good, you should feel happy." "If you are like her, abandoned in the mountains and left to fend for yourself, then you really want to die.
A few people chatted about it again, and when it was almost time for Shen, Mrs. Zhao sent someone to say that she was going back to the house, and asked Zhao Danxiu to go out quickly.
Moyu knows that this flower viewing party should be over! In particular, some ladies have to go home to take care of their backyards, but they can't spend the whole day here, so they also get up. Wang Zhen'er politely kept the three sisters, but everyone was eager to return home, so they had to give up.
Wang Zhen'er sent the three of them to the door, and after saying goodbye reluctantly, she could only watch them get into her carriage.
One by one, the carriages were set up in front of the door, and when the owner got into the carriage, they were carried away again. Mo Yu saw his carriage coming, so he walked over, and Wang Zhen'er's voice came from behind him, "Sister, if you are free in the future, our sisters will meet often." Mo Yu looked back and smiled: "Okay, then I'll go." He turned around and got on the pedals, lifted the curtain and entered the car.
As soon as she stepped into the carriage, Mo Yu wondered if she had gotten into the wrong carriage, because it was not the Yuan family sitting in the carriage, but her second brother Ji Zhongting. As soon as Mo Yu wanted to get out of the car, Ji Zhongting smiled and said, "You didn't get into the wrong carriage, come in!" Then he said to Yunshang behind Mo Yu: "You go and sit in the car behind." ”
If you enter, you will enter, who is afraid of whom! Mo Yu sat still, looked at Ji Zhongting who was staring at her opposite, very uncomfortable, and asked, "What about her?" ”
"I'll get into this carriage first, and of course she'll have to get into the other one, don't worry, I've already called someone to tell her you're with me."
"Then may I ask Second Young Master Ji, what are you deliberately trying to do in the same carriage with me? Or do you want to ask something? ”
Ji Zhongting tilted his head, scratched his chin with his index finger and said, "I'm thinking, how do you explain this matter to your father and the old lady after you go back?" ”
Mo Yu shrugged, "Did something happen today?" Why should I explain? ”
"It is estimated that tomorrow, someone from the Zhao family and the Liu family will come to the door with gifts to thank you, do you think nothing will happen by then? Maybe there will be a matchmaker coming to the door! ”
"What you say, the first half of the sentence is not a thing, and the second sentence is not funny at all."
Ji Zhongting laughed twice and said, "I appreciate you more and more." ”
Mo Yu bent down slightly, approached him, and said, "I also admire you and Zhao Danxiu." "Ji Zhongting is not like other people in the Ji Mansion, he seems to live more chic and comfortable, and he lacks Ji Gangyang's profundity and Ji Boyuan's official style.
"Zhao Danxiu? It's the young lady you rescued! ”
Mo Yu nodded and said, "Well, she likes you." ”
Ji Zhongting pursed his mouth, "I don't have feelings for her." ”
"That's because you don't have much communication with her, she's really a good girl, beautiful and dignified, and simple-minded. Such a girl is difficult to find in a big family, and she is a good match for you. ”
The smile on Ji Zhongting's face was no longer there, and he lowered his head. "For people of our status, who we will marry in the future, which is up to us to decide. If you can make your own decisions, why do you bother to come back? ”
For a moment, Mo Yu seemed to see the struggle in the heart of the second young master of the Ji family, breaking free from the shackles of the noble son, breaking free from the arrangement that fate had given him, and he didn't like his life! Mo Yu said leisurely: "I came back because I didn't have a choice. ”
"You can choose to run, run as far away as possible, and escape to a place where they can't find you."
"I have worries in my heart and don't want to run away. There is hope in front of him, and he is not willing to escape. But you are different, you are destined to not escape, since you can't escape, at least you can choose a satisfactory rest on the road they have chosen for you. ”
Ji Zhongting looked up at her and said puzzledly: "Sister, you are a very good woman, there are not many men in the world who can match you, so why bother to come back to that place." You say you have concerns, but I really can't think of anything else worth your concern in this Tokyo city? ”
Yes, there is a person. "Maybe you'll find out later." Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled casually: "This is the first time we have said so many things!" At such a young age, don't live so deeply, it's a day to be happy, and it's a day to complain, why not choose a relaxed way to live! ”
"That's right, I just found out now that our family has left a pearl in the sea, and I don't know when they will find out, I hope they won't regret it then."
Mo Yu doesn't think so, "Your analogy is a bit exaggerated, but I like it." Hey, then again, how do you feel about Zhao Danxiu, do you want me to build a bridge for you before leaving? ”
"I don't feel it, what kind of bridge do you build?"
"You must feel it."
"Nope."
"Yes."
