Chapter 192: You Still Don't Give Up?
Zhou Shu knew that Jian Ying didn't like the smell of alcohol on other people's bodies, so she drank a cup of mandarin tea in the tea garden, took a hot bath, sweated and got rid of the smell of alcohol, and then got up and came to the backyard.
Along the way, Monkey Kui and Cuifeng, who were watching the lights, squeezed their eyebrows from time to time, and asked, "You two have something to hide from me?" ”
As soon as Cuifeng opened his mouth, he was robbed of the conversation by Monkey Kui, "No, no, where do we dare to hide something from you?" ”
"It's better not to." Zhou Shu snorted lightly and ignored them.
When they arrived at the Hanging Flower Gate, the two little guys stopped and bent down in unison~ Body, "Congratulations to the second young master." ”
Zhou Shu nodded and stepped into the door.
The mother-in-law of the porter was waiting there with a wind lantern, and when she saw the salute, she led him to the direction of the blue courtyard.
After walking more than ten feet away, a man suddenly flashed out from behind the pillars of the verandah, blocking the way.
Zhou Shu looked at the figure a little familiar, looked at it carefully, and saw that it was Mingmei, and couldn't help frowning.
Ming Mei carried the basket in one hand, and her posture was graceful, "Second Young Master, please." ”
Zhou Shu didn't want to pay attention to her, and walked past her without squinting.
"Second Young Master." Mingmei shouted, walked a few steps to the front, and blocked his way, "Second young master, can the slave and maid say a few words to you alone?" ”
He also blessed the mother-in-law who led the way, "Please make it convenient for this sister-in-law." ”
The mother-in-law knew that it was convenient to do it, and she would be rewarded, so she was moved, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Second young master, the little one will ...... first."
"Not necessarily." Zhou Shu stopped her and looked at Ming Mei coldly. "Aren't you still dead?"
Ming Mei blinked a little aggrievedly, "Second Young Master......"
I don't know if it was blown by the wind, or if I stood for too long and my mouth was numb, this "Second Young Master" brought out a few trills, like anger and resentment, which made people's heartstrings tremble.
The woman boasted that she was well-informed, but she couldn't help but feel half of her body.
Zhou Shu only felt annoyed, he spent a lot of money to redeem her from the land of fireworks, save her from the fire pit quagmire, and give her dignity. Entrusted with important tasks. Not only did she not abandon the past, but she also took out all the unbearable methods she had learned by her ears and eyes, and used it on him, and she was really willing to be cheap.
Because she refuses to respect and love herself. Disgusted in the heart. It's hard to take care of the relationship between the master and the servant of the two generations. "I don't have the slightest interest in a woman with your looks, this figure, and this character, even if you stand in front of me naked, you can't arouse my desire~ hope.
Don't keep up with it again and again. This is the last time I will speak to you so politely. ”
After saying that, he bypassed her for the second time and strode forward.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly trotted to catch up.
Mingmei bit her red lip stubbornly, and looked at his back farther and farther away with tears in her eyes, despair, shame, and resentment, all of which came to her heart, and suddenly slammed the basket in her hand to the ground, and shouted: "I will betray you and tell all your secrets." ”
Zhou Shu didn't even pause in his steps, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
If he was afraid of being betrayed, could he allow her to jump up and down in the palace for so long? If you want to betray him, you should first weigh whether you are qualified or not.
I don't know how thick the sky is!
Jian Ying had already woken up from sleep, and when she heard Zhou Shu go to bed, she squeezed over and nestled in his arms. After sniffing hard at him a few times, he frowned and said, "Why do you smell of fox spirits?" ”
Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, lady, where did the fox spirit come from?" ”
"Didn't you?" Jian Ying sniffed again, "Then why did I faintly smell a smell of fat powder on you just now?" Is it a delusion? ”
Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't let his eyebrows get drunk at all, how could there be a fat powder smell? Could it be that she sent someone to keep an eye on him, found out that he had contact with Ming Mei, and deliberately said this to test him?
After a little thought, she planned to confess frankly, so as not to misunderstand.
was about to speak, but Jian Ying changed the topic by herself, "How did you talk to your eldest brother?" ”
Zhou Shu's face was slightly gloomy, "The eldest brother said that the mother concubine was poisoned to death by the girl named Xiaohuan." ”
"Really?" Jian Ying didn't feel surprised at all, "What else did your eldest brother say?" ”
Zhou Shu wanted her to help analyze and analyze, so he repeated what Zhou Shu said in detail.
Jian Ying was obviously more interested in the part where Zhou Han and the Fang family missed their marriage, and said with a snort: "Wet to save beauty, I don't see that your father is still a master." Compared to your father, your eldest brother is too tender. ”
Zhou Shu didn't want to mention the emotional entanglement of the three people, so he said his question that he had no impression of Xiaohuan.
Jian Ying thought for a moment, "Will you change your name?" ”
It is very common for girls from large families to move from one yard to another, and every time they arrive in a new place, the masters often change their names to show their sovereignty.
The girls are also very interested, and once they have a new master, they will take the initiative to ask for a name change and talk about loyalty.
The Qin clan may not be the kind of master who has a strong desire to control, but he can't stop Xiaohuan from slapping the horse.
"Isn't this ......" Zhou Shu was halfway through his words, and suddenly remembered, "Yes, she did change her name, she changed her name to bamboo paper." ”
He was young at that time, and he remembered his name, but he may not remember his appearance carefully. Xiaohuan and bamboo paper are sisters, and their appearance is bound to be similar.
He knew about the bamboo paper being hit by the board, but he had no impression of the death of the bamboo paper. Thinking that the Qin family was afraid that his child's family would know that someone had died in the courtyard where he lived, he would be afraid of having nightmares or something, so he asked his subordinates to hide it.
Thinking about it carefully, he did see "bamboo paper" a few times later, how could a person who was hit by a board get up so quickly to do things?
It can be seen that the bamboo paper at that time has been changed.
When the Qin family "died", King Ji'an sold all the people in the courtyard, and even covered up the suicide of the second bamboo paper hanging beam. So before King Ji'an told that old story, he always thought that the bamboo paper had been sold along with the others, and he put her on the list of searchers.
"Aren't the two sisters Zhuzhi and Xiaohuan the children of the palace? Where are their families? Jian Ying asked.
"I don't know, I sent people to look for it for many years but didn't find it." Zhou Shu's eyes sank, "Presumably no longer alive, right?" ”
Jian Ying thought about finding an opportunity to inquire with Concubine Wen Shu again, and when she became sleepy, she patted Zhou Shu, "It's not early, let's sleep." ”
Zhou Shu felt that she was extremely sleepy for a while, and her heart moved, so she hurriedly grabbed her hand and pressed her fingers on the wrist veins to diagnose carefully. The pulse is smooth, and there is no feeling of being fluent and smooth like pressing a ball, which is inevitably a little disappointing.
Jian Ying only thought that he was taking a practical class again, and didn't care, closed his eyes, and fell asleep leisurely.
Here the two of them hugged each other and slept together, and the years were quiet. On the other side of Feipeng Courtyard, it was bloody and stormy, and the waves were turbulent......
