"What kind of war, I heard my nephew say, King Ling gave an order, it seems that he is looking for someone!" The aunt, who was thin and had a collapsed nose, said it very neatly.

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? I saw yesterday that those who were soldiers seemed to be all dispatched, and they used to catch spies in the city, so that's it, right? Ay! It can't really be a spy catch, right? ”

"What a spy, I'll tell you, my nephew said, they are looking for an ugly woman with a scar on her face, about eighteen years old, and she hasn't left the cabinet yet, if she finds it, King Ling will reward you with fifty taels of silver!"

"Fifty taels?!" The lady in the blue and gray cotton dress almost popped out in shock.

I'm a good girl, fifty taels of silver! How many years do I have to work as a family leader to save so much money!

The emaciated aunt laughed, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "My nephew has said it, let us pay attention to it, if you find it, don't alarm the ugly girl first, and then you will have breakfast, you go back and tell your family about it, let them have a snack, pay attention, this is fifty taels of silver!"

A bowl of steaming and smelling wontons was placed in front of him, but Shen Niannian didn't have the heart to eat it.

The words of the two aunts on the other side of the table were not small, and the people who were eating around them immediately pricked up their ears when they heard this, and their minds became active and talked in a low voice.

She pursed her lips and thought about it, but she still didn't take off her mask, but stood up directly, turned around and hurried away.

The blue-gray cotton-clothed lady who was still talking about it looked at the girl and left in a hurry. I didn't even taste a single bite of the bowl of wontons in fifteen wen, what a loser!

So, under the surprised eyes of the other people at the same table, he hurriedly pulled Shen Niannian's bowl of wontons over and ate it by himself.

The emaciated aunt also noticed this bowl of white wontons, and hurriedly grabbed it, "Hey! Those who see this have a share, and those who see have a share! I'm going to have half a bowl too. ”

……

Shen Niannian left in a hurry, his heart in chaos.

The words that the two ladies said just now clearly buzzed in her ears, thinking of the ugly girl that King Ling was looking for. It can't be her, right?

But......

She remembered that she had never had any contact with that Ling King. Why did you suddenly send someone to find yourself with such fanfare?

Or is this really an ugly-looking spy girl who has such a big move?

Thinking of her face, she frowned slightly. If you really look for a spy. Then the scar on her face is a big problem. After all, she is a girl who escaped without permission, and if she is caught by Shen Xiuniang, she doesn't know what will happen. So......

Regardless of whether King Ling was looking for her or not, she would never be able to hang around outside with such a face!

Fortunately, she also wore a mask when she rented the house, so the lady who rented the house didn't know that she still had such a big ugly scar on her face, otherwise the temptation of fifty taels of silver would not be something that anyone could resist!

After thinking about it, Shen Niannian went directly to the stall selling rouge gouache and bought a lot of thick fat powder.

These fat powders are very rough and inferior, and the price is naturally very cheap, but they are the best thing to cover the ugly scars on the face.

spent half a copper coin, and on the way passed by a group of soldiers dressed in barracks uniforms.

Seeing the soldiers searching from house to house with burning eyes, her heart skipped a slight beat, and she suddenly became nervous, but she still kept her composure and immediately returned to the newly rented house.

As soon as he entered the room, Shen Niannian put a large pile of things in his hand on the table, then found a bronze mirror and began to rub powder and grease on his face.

The greasy grease had a disgusting scent, but she still applied it directly to her face, carefully handling the scars on her face.

Half an hour later.

Throwing the inferior fat powder in her hand onto the table, she strained her face and looked at the miserable face in the bronze mirror.

Even heavy makeup can't hide the scar, and you can see the deliberate cover on your face at a glance, which will make people suspect that you are covering your ears and stealing the bell.

sighed lightly, except for leaving Tuozi Village without permission, Shen Niannian admitted that he had not done anything else to hurt the heavens and reason, and besides...... Even if Shen Xiuniang wanted to find her, she shouldn't have the ability to alarm King Ling, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Niannian burst out laughing, "I'm really stunned, when did I become so timid like a frightened bird......

Looking at the seven or eight pieces of inferior grease powder on the table, I felt a little sorry for the half-through copper coins that had been spent, and I was reluctant to throw it away after thinking about it, so I just cleaned it up and put it aside, planning to give it to my neighbors in the future, anyway, they are all lone women, and it is not bad to make friends for the time being.

After this figured it out, Shen Niannian naturally stopped being entangled, and laughed at his stupidity when he remembered a series of actions after hearing the news just now.

But now that someone outside is looking for an ugly-looking woman who has not left the cabinet, she will inevitably be in trouble when she goes out with this face.

When she first arrived, there were still a lot of things to add, and she couldn't keep hiding, thinking about it, she simply combed a simple married woman's bun, and wore a cheap wooden hairpin on her head.

After cleaning the house, the rumbling of his stomach became more and more serious, and Shen Niannian took some copper coins and went out to buy some food.

She was still wearing a mask, but this time she didn't go to the wonton stall, but found a stall selling steamed buns and asked for four meat buns to take away directly.

Immediately afterwards, she went to buy some grain, rice and noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and went home in large bags.

The soldiers have not yet searched their area, but it is only a matter of time, and these days, in order to prevent accidents, it is better for her to stay at home for a while.

As soon as she walked into the courtyard gate, Shen Ansu saw the tenant who lived on the west side of the chamber yawning and walked out, and seeing that she had just entered the door, she immediately greeted with a smile, "Yo, this ...... You were a new tenant yesterday, right? My name is Waisey, and ...... is your husband's family? ”

Huaixi combed the woman's hair, although she was wearing a gray linen cotton clothes, but she looked a little beautiful.

Maybe it's because I can't see her face, and I don't know what to call her when I see that she is also wearing a woman's bun.

"My husband's family name...... Well, I don't have a husband now, if Sister Huaixi doesn't mind, just call me Sister Shen. Of course, Shen Niannian could see that this woman named Huaixi was slightly older than herself, and she was not a bad woman when she looked at her, thinking that she would also be a neighbor in the future, you would come and go, so she called her sister sweetly.

"Yo, it turns out that Sister Shen is only eighteen, you see, I've just gotten up, how about waiting for my sister to wash up, and then come and talk to my sister?" Huaixi giggled, listening to Shen Niannian's words, but his mind became active, it seems that there is a poor woman living in this courtyard again, and even her husband's house is gone, no wonder she wants to be alone and rent a house in this county.

Shen Niannian nodded to himself, said hello, and entered his own room.

When he arrived at a safe place, Shen Niannian took off his mask, then picked up the hot buns and began to eat.

In less than a moment of incense, there was a knock on the door of the house.

Shen Niannian hurriedly went to open the door, and saw Huaixi standing outside the door with half a catty of fried rice in his hand.

"Sister Shen, this is my own secret recipe fried fried rice, you can taste it and see if it tastes good." Huaixi enthusiastically stuffed half a catty of fried rice in her hand into her arms, and walked in without waiting for Shen Niannian to speak, without feeling unfamiliar at all.

Shen Niannian looked at the young woman from Huaixi who was so familiar, and smiled helplessly, but she was not pretentious, and tasted a few grains of fried rice in her hand.

Speaking of this fried rice, it is also a special snack in this border area, and Kyoto also has it, but the taste is naturally not as authentic as here.

The fried rice has a crisp texture, a unique rice aroma, and a salty and sweet taste, which is better than what she has tasted in Kyoto before.

"Sister Huaixi, are you selling this snack? It tastes great! Shen Niannian unceremoniously praised herself, walked to the table and took the two big buns left just now, and handed them to Huaixi, "Look at you just now, you seem to have just gotten up, you must be hungry, if you don't dislike it, you can eat two buns first." ”

"Hehe, sister, I'm selling fried rice, I'm not welcome to this steamed bun sister, when I entered the house just now, I smelled the smell of this meat bun!" Huaixi is really not polite at all, this cool temperament makes Shen Niannian quite appreciative, and unconsciously, he is also a little closer.

"Then Sister Huaixi, you can eat first." The corners of Shen Niannian's mouth couldn't help but smile a little, and he put the fried rice away, planning to keep it for snacks to eat.

"Sister Shen, why are you renting a house here alone, the rent here is not cheap, do you plan what business to do in the future?" Wai Xi asked with concern as he ate the buns.

No husband's family means no husband, Huaixi was very smart not to mention this Shen girl's 'sad thing', and said with a little pity.

When Shen Niannian opened the door just now, she saw the ugly scar on her face at a glance, but she had seen a lot of the world, so naturally she would not be easily frightened, but she felt a little pity when she heard Shen Niannian's soft and crisp voice.

Look at this Shen girl, her expression is neither humble nor arrogant, nor does she look like an ordinary country woman, it is estimated that everyone was born before, and you can guess from the half of her intact face that before this girl's face is destroyed, she must be a beautiful woman from a good family.

I'm afraid it's because of this face that I don't have my husband's family, right?

Huaixi's mind has automatically made up for the miserable life that Shen Niannian suffered in her husband's family in the past, so she will have no husband's family and come out to rent a house alone, so looking at Shen Niannian's eyes, she became more and more sympathetic. (To be continued......)
