Chapter Ninety-Two: The Market
Early this morning, Wei Yan was summoned to Feng's place, and after a few greetings, Feng said the right thing, "Before Yuqin left, did you explain anything to you?" ”
"No, I didn't. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Mrs. and rest assured, Wei Yan has already persuaded Xu Gongzi, and when Xu Gongzi returns, Wei Yan will immediately move out of Xu's mansion......"
"Silly boy, I'm not trying to drive you away. I know that you don't want to marry another person, you have affection for us Yuqin, and Yuqin can't do without you, how can I bear to force you two to separate for life? Yuqin's marriage is imminent, you have been wronged for a few months temporarily, and when the time is right, I will bring you back! Feng Shi smiled and said, "This is what Yuqin meant, I have agreed!" Although you can't be his wife, at least you can stay with him as a side, are you willing? ”
"I ......" a penniless orphan girl, what more could she ask for? No matter what her identity is in the future, she must first get through the difficulties in front of her. She nodded, "It's all up to Madame!" ”
"Okay, today you will move to the house in Xuanwu Lane in the west of the city. I will send someone to serve you, don't worry. Feng raised his hand and called Luo Ying, "Go, pack up the cage for Miss Wei, and then take five hundred taels of silver tickets from my box and give it to Miss Wei to carry!" ”
Wei Yan got up and thanked him.
Xuanwu Alley had all the utensils, only brought some change of clothes and personal things, Wei Yan got into the carriage and moved over surrounded by several servants.
Looking back at the vermilion lacquer gate behind her, and looking at the plaque with the four big characters "Yasukuni Mansion" hanging high farther and farther away, she actually felt a sense of relief. In this life, she doesn't want to come back to this mansion again! No matter how good the Xu Mansion is, it is not her own home.
She has already made a plan: and live in the courtyard arranged by the Feng family first, and when Yuqin returns, find Wei Jiang, the two sisters, maybe they can ask Yuqin to help, and be a teacher for those young ladies from rich and noble families, without showing their heads, and without relying on the Xu Mansion for help. Save a small amount of silver money and find a good home for Wei Jiang. As for Wei Zhen in the palace, she may not be able to take her out of the palace, so she just hopes to send some broken silver into it, honor those grandmothers who discipline the palace maids, and make Wei Zhen's life a little better. If you are lucky enough to meet the emperor's amnesty for the world, perhaps, Wei Zhen and the others will have a chance to be released from the palace......
As for herself, if Xu Lang is interested, she is willing to follow him even if she is nameless and pointless. He sacrificed too much for her, paid too much, and his kindness was as deep as the sea, and she couldn't help but repay it......
As for being taken back to Xu's Mansion as a concubine? Do you want her to watch Xu Lang commensurate with the husband and wife of others, while she kneels at her feet and serves with her eyebrows low? Just thinking of that kind of scene makes her heart ache.
This night, Wei Yan lay on the pillow, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, and the fantasy of the next step of life made her full of hope for the future life again.
I asked Xu Yuqin to visit Aunt Rou on her behalf, and Aunt Rou who took care of her was nowhere to be found, but fortunately, Aunt Rou had a little girl who bought it, and she recognized Aunt Rou as her godmother and served by the side. After the self-defense mansion was raided, Aunt Rou's application was also Xu Yuqin's help.
Wei Yan thought that in the future, it would be best for him to talk to Xu Lang and ask him to agree to move over there to be a companion with Aunt Rou, so that he would not have to occupy the Xu family's mansion in an unjustified manner......
Thinking about it like this, Wei Yan couldn't sleep with excitement.
Suddenly, the pane clicked, and she saw a dark shadow flash outside.
Then I heard the maid calling in a very low voice: "Miss Wei, Miss Wei......"
Her throat was astringent, and before she could reply, she heard the maid whisper, "Asleep." "It's like talking to yourself, and it's like talking to others.
Wei Yan couldn't help but be alert, covering her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound.
The door was quietly pushed open a crack, the early spring wind was still very cold, there was no charcoal burning in the house, and the sudden cold air made her shiver slightly.
Then, the door was closed from the outside.
The maid's behavior puzzled her. Why peep at her? Why test her to see if she is asleep?
This maid is the one she has been serving by her side since she lived in the Xu Mansion, her name is Bing'er, she is meticulous and proper, and she has always taken good care of her. Before going to bed, Bing'er was afraid that she would not be able to sleep well if she suddenly changed the environment, so she intimately brought her a bowl of tranquil tea,......
Looking at the untouched bowl of Ningshen tea on the table, she suddenly breathed a sigh......
Thinking of her mother's death for a while, does anyone want to use the same method to put her to death?
On the second day, Bing'er walked in, took back the empty bowl on the table, and said with a smile, "Girl, it's not as good as being in the house now, if you feel bored, you can go to the market." ”
Wei Yan thought that she hadn't seen Aunt Rou for a long time, nodded and agreed.
After someone hired a sedan chair to come to the door, she stepped out of the door and sat in the sedan chair. There were many people standing outside, looking at her. They are all nearby neighbors, and I heard that there is a young lady living in the largest house at the end of the alley that has not been owned for a long time, and they all come to see the excitement and gather together to point fingers at Wei Yan and his party.
This is life in the market. There are no high-ranking families, no towering doorposts and shocking stone lions, no golden heavy plaques, and some are just small wooden doors that can't be separated from any secrets. Say a few words aloud here, and you can hear it clearly over there.
"I heard that it was a flower girl raised by a certain official......"
"No, how did I hear that it's a down-and-out young lady."
"No, no, it's really a young lady, how can you live here alone? Naturally, I want to go to my relatives......"
"You stupid, what kind of place are we? Xuanwu Lane! What is the most in Xuanwu Lane? There are the most teahouses and restaurants! Playing the piano and singing the most! Didn't you see that when you moved here yesterday, there was a cart of things, both piano and se, maybe it was a servant who performed for the rich and noble men in the big restaurant......"
"Phew! What a servant, what a flower girl! This house has been vacant for so long, it's bigger than all of us combined, right? Someone comes to clean regularly, but no one lives in it, and it is not rented out, so the head of the household must be not bad for money! Look at the girl who just got on the sedan chair, the little hands, thin and white, and the little fingers are as tender as shallots...... It must be the outer room raised by those nobles! ”
"Yo, the girl is so tightly covered, and you can see your little hands? Do you see what she looks like? Look at the figure, bumpy and convex, but it is really attractive, I don't know how many times stronger than the yellow and thin lady of my family! ”
"You can compare with others as a mother-in-law who opens a night pot stall? ……”
"Shit, you're a night pot stall! That's a clay pot shop! ”
……
The sedan chair faded away, and the chatter behind him could no longer be heard clearly. Wei Yan clutched his chest, feeling uncomfortable in his heart. It is really unpleasant to be wantonly scrutinized, judged, and speculated at will by others. (To be continued.) )
