Chapter 110: Bullying 3
Zhang Shilang has now been forced to lose his temper by Zhu Fei's understatement, he was afraid that Zhu Fei would do something again, so he had to helplessly say to Mrs. Zhang, who was indignant: "Since the prince can afford you, don't shirk it, go and prepare refreshments, and make two good teas to entertain the guests." ”
With that, he quietly winked at her. It means that if there is any grievance, endure it first, anyway, when you get to the kitchen, you just have to tell the maids to do it, and you can't get tired, at best, it's just a bad look. As long as the two uncles are sent away safely, there will be nothing. Otherwise, I am afraid that they will have to use other reasons to cause trouble.
Although Mrs. Zhang has almost blown up her lungs, she has no choice but to help the situation, even the old man is gone, what can she do with a woman's family? I had to pinch my nose and endure this breath first, and then find a chance to avenge this humiliation later.
She had no choice but to stand up, bowed reluctantly, and said, "Since the prince does not dislike and wants to taste my craft, please wait a moment." ”
Seeing her walking out, Zhu Fei suddenly smiled and said, "Xue Ji, how can you make Mrs. Zhang work so hard, why don't you go with you to help." ”
"Yes." Yukihime stepped out of the crowd and agreed briskly. She walked up to Mrs. Zhang's side gracefully, blessed a little, and said crisply: "There is Mrs. Lao leading the way." Over there, Mrs. Zhang stumbled and almost fell. Is it really good to send overseers like this? Seeing that Mrs. Zhang's steps of leaving had become a little heavier, Zhang Shilang had to shake his head helplessly.
The little maid happened to carry a basin of water and fragrant pancreas, passed by them, and limped in. She placed the copper basin in front of Zhu Fei. Then he carefully waited for him to clean his hands, and wiped the water stains on his hands with a handkerchief. As a result, Zhu Fei's slender palms like jade carvings returned to their white and flawless back.
The little maid quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to go out with the basin of dirty water and pour it out, Zhu Fei said casually: "Not bad." The service is very careful, and the washing is also clean. Go and come back quickly, my legs are sore, and I'm still waiting for you to hammer my legs! ”
"Yes." The little maid didn't see his tyrannical side, and she didn't feel anything. Guo Chengsi and Yu Ji on the side stared at him in surprise, because they both knew that Zhu Fei had a quirk, that is, he didn't like to be touched by strangers.
In the palace of the prince of Shu, there are only two people who can really serve him closely, and the rest of the maids and maids accidentally touch him. The light is a heartwarming kick, and those who deliberately seduce with their outstanding appearance are directly betrayed. Now he let a strange little maid beat his legs, which is really unprecedented.
Zhang Shilang saw Zhu Fei stretching his long legs comfortably, and the little maid sat honestly on the pedal, holding two mutton fat jade mallets, and helped him beat them seriously, and the cold light in his eyes couldn't help but shine directly.
His cheeks trembled, and finally said without smiling, "Lord Guo." I wonder where my unfilial daughter is now? She ran out quietly after making such a fuss, which made me really worried as a father. And she is an unmarried woman in Yunying, this move is really damaging to her reputation, which good family will dare to ask her in the future? I hope that the adults will persuade her to return home quickly. "He just wants to get that troublemaker in his hands as soon as possible. lest she is out there and doesn't know how much trouble she's going to get into.
Guo Chengsi smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Master Zhang, do you still remember the Xu family in Jinling?" ”
The Jinling Xu family is the maiden family of his predecessor, how he doesn't remember. It's only since the death of my wife. He had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Xu family for the sake of continuation. It's just that the foundation of the Xu family has always been in Jinling, so in the next few years. The Zhang and Xu families basically cut off contact. Zhang Shilang didn't know what Guo Chengsi meant by mentioning the Xu family at this moment, so he had to ask patiently: "What does this matter have to do with the Xu family?" ”
Guo Chengsi. Said slowly: "Lord Zhang has forgotten that your Aunt Shen is the dowry girl of the predecessor Mrs. Xu, and the reasoning is also from the Xu family in Jinling." Now that the Xu family has come to Chang'an City, the three girls in the house are now guests at the Xu family, and they can be regarded as returning to their uncle's house, which is not to mention that their reputation is damaged. ”
"Has someone from the Xu Mansion entered Chang'an City?" Zhang Shilang paused for a moment, this was something he didn't expect. After thinking about it again, he suddenly gritted his teeth secretly. The three girls were locked in the house every day to copy the scriptures and recite the Buddha, how could they know that someone from the Xu Mansion was coming, and they happened to be blessed by the Xu Mansion as soon as they ran out, and someone must have pulled the line from it. The person who pulled the line was about to come out, and Zhang Shilang had to sigh that it was really unfortunate for his family! Purify some unfilial daughters.
At this moment, he didn't have the heart to continue to deal with Guo Chenghe, he just wanted to send away the two plague gods as soon as possible, and then go to find someone to find out the whereabouts of the three girls.
Although the paper suddenly changed in front of the emperor, the king's steward became a defendant inexplicably. However, he was reassured by the king's affairs, after all, the law stipulates that a slave cannot report his master, just as a child cannot report his parents.
Moreover, the old man, mother, wife, and children in charge of the king are all pinched in his hands, forgive him for not daring to say anything unfavorable to him even if he enters the criminal department, but Zhang Shilang still does not dare to take it lightly. (It's just that he didn't know that in his heart, he was determined not to betray his king, and he had already harbored a different heart.) )
You must know that he is still weak-hearted, and he knows the sins he has done. Although the vast majority of his colleagues, including his teacher, believe the excuses he said, he really doesn't feel at ease if he doesn't pinch the three girls in the palm of his hand! Who knows if that dead girl will suddenly find out about Lan'er again one day.
It is not easy for him to climb to his current position, if his ugly things are really exposed, he can't imagine how those deceived colleagues and teachers will think of him, and those imperial historians who use the pen as a knife and the tongue as a gun, will fiercely criticize him. He didn't want to knock down the mortal world from the high clouds for just a few untouchables, and leave a stench for thousands of years.
But the host's house was sitting at ease here, but the two uninteresting guests pretended not to see it, but chatted to themselves. Zhang Shilang was annoyed but had nothing to do.
Fortunately, it didn't take long. Mrs. Zhang led four maids to walk in with a tray with a golden flower pattern painted with vermilion lacquer, while Xue Ji followed behind with a smile.
Come into the house. Mrs. Zhang gritted her silver teeth and commanded the maid to serve tea and snacks with an expressionless face. It is really sixty percent hot Shifeng Longjing and seventy percent hot Da Hong Pao, and eight kinds of refreshments, namely: walnut gummies, cherry preserves, milky white grapes, snow mountain plums, golden silk siu mai, fried spring rolls, fried bells. Muxi cake is really four sweet and four salty, although they are all small plates, but they are also full of tables.
Guo Chengsi's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw that Mrs. Zhang's hair bun was a little messy, and there were several scars on the back of her hands that were obviously burned by oil. The expensive cherry red soft satin skirt was also splashed with a few oil stars. The corners of his mouth twitched, secretly just funny, Xue Ji came out, and she was really the nemesis of all demons and monsters.
I saw Xue Ji smiling and blessed. Said sweetly: "Lord Shizi, these are all Mrs. Zhang's crafts. The slave maid can be regarded as an eye-opener, and she secretly learned a few tricks from Mrs. Zhang! If you are satisfied with any dim sum, the slave will make it for you when she returns home. ”
"These are all prepared by Mrs. Zhang?" Zhu Fei looked surprised. said: "That's really Mrs. Lao." The corners of Mrs. Zhang's mouth twitched, and she really didn't know whether to cry or laugh when she got this inexplicable compliment.
Originally, she didn't take Yukihime seriously. She didn't believe that their identities would be noble, and even the little maids she carried with her would all have official ranks. She also planned to show off the majesty of Madame Squire. Find a job for Yukihime to do. As long as you direct her out, you can take the opportunity to throw your hands away. Let the maids prepare these refreshments.
Who knew that when Xue Ji accidentally pinched a celadon bowl into powder and kneaded a shining boning knife into dough, the maids in the kitchen quietly smeared oil on the soles of their feet and slipped away quickly.
Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to give in, pitiful that she hadn't done these jobs for so many years, and as a result, she was embarrassed. Especially when the spring rolls are fried and the bell rings, a few drops of hot oil are splashed on the back of the white and immaculate hands. It's just that the pain of the fire on the back of her hand can't withstand the strong sense of shame in her heart at this moment.
She bit her lip, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Lord Guo, even if Steward Wang is your prisoner, you will be arrested, why do you want to humiliate him so much?" It turned out that as soon as she went out, she saw the miserable appearance of Steward Wang. Suddenly angry, anxious, panicked, and a little distressed. In the end, it was her nephew, and she finally couldn't help but stand up for him.
Guo Chengsi only knew that Duan Ling had arrested Steward Wang, and he really didn't know anything else, so he set his sights on Duan Ling. Duan Ling immediately strode out, clenched his fists, and said, "Lord Qiyu, when I was arresting Steward Wang, I happened to see that he had committed another crime" So he repeated what he had said to Steward Wang before.
Suddenly heard that Steward Wang wanted to threaten Zhu Er to elope, and was found intending to stab his mother-in-law to death. Zhang Shilang's old eyes were green, and that was the prey he had coveted for a long time. I haven't even gotten my hands on it yet! This subordinate actually dared to rob it. But when he thought about it deeper, he couldn't help but be furious. What does it mean that Steward Wang intends to leave all his relatives behind and elope with the person he has loved for a long time at this juncture? Zhang Shilang couldn't imagine that a person who had mastered most of his secrets and had a different heart would be a sharp butcher's knife in the hands of the enemy.
Thinking of this, he was angry and hateful, and couldn't help but dig a hard look at Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang was originally a clever person, and she immediately thought of this. was stared at by Zhang Shilang like this, and her delicate face immediately turned blue and white, which was extremely ugly.
Seeing that they were disturbed by this unexpected news, Zhu Fei suddenly smiled and said lazily: "This Wang is really vicious. If you continue to stay in the Shilang Mansion, I am afraid that it will also be a disaster. In that case, let's go! Don't keep it talking. ”
"Okay! Then let's take our leave. Guo Chengsi smiled when he heard this, and really stood up and prepared to leave. Zhang Shilang originally wanted them to disappear from his eyes quickly, but after knowing that Steward Wang had already had a different heart, he couldn't let them go like this. Anyway, we have to find out the real intentions of Steward Wang at this moment.
Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Mrs. Zhang. Madame Zhang immediately understood, she raised her hand, and said, "Lord Guo, please stay, and please allow me to prepare some clothes for Steward Wang." Even if he is a heinous sinner, it is not decent to go out naked like this. ”
Guo Chengsi didn't speak, but Zhu Fei suddenly opened his mouth and praised him with a sigh: "This little girl is good, she will serve people." The hammer is not light or heavy, and it is very comfortable. The little maid was a little flattered and whispered, "Thank you for your praise." ”
Zhang Shilang was stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Fei to say this at this time. But he still said casually: "Since the prince has taken a fancy to you, you can go back with the prince!" Remember, you have to serve well, don't lose the face of our servant's mansion.
The little maid was overjoyed, and after she entered the mansion, she realized that this was a demon cave at all. Mrs. Zhang's daily torture was like a soft knife cutting meat, which had made her disheartened and numb and resigned to her fate, and she never thought that there would be a chance to escape in this life.
She hurriedly put down the mutton fat jade mallet in her hand, knelt on the ground, and respectfully kowtowed to Zhang Shilang and Zhu Fei.
Xue Ji stepped forward with a smile and pulled her up and stood behind Zhu Fei. Zhu Fei laughed and said, "Lord Zhang is really knowledgeable, but don't forget to send this little girl's deed of sale later." lest she serve the son of this world, and serve unsafely. ”
Zhang Shilang rubbed his face helplessly and said, "Of course, this deed of sale must be presented immediately." After a pause, he cautiously asked, "What about the king's steward?" ”
This time, Guo Chengsi, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, finally spoke, and he smiled slightly and said: "I didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to be so kind-hearted, and she cares so much about a person who has made a mistake, Duan Guard, you go with Mrs. Zhang to pick up clothes." By the way, I will take this girl's deed of sale together. ”
The corners of Mrs. Zhang's mouth twitched, she unwillingly stared at the smiling little maid, and then turned her head and walked out expressionlessly.
Soon, under Duan Ling's supervision, Mrs. Zhang took the clothes of the Wang Steward, and took the deed of sale of the little maid and handed it to Duan Ling. When she came to Steward Wang, Steward Wang raised his head in pain, looked at her with hope, and let out a whining cry from his mouth. Mrs. Zhang's heart darkened, she replaced her and called for clean water, and while helping him wash, she secretly drew a few words in his palm while Duan Ling was not paying attention.
