Chapter 161: Ugly and Beautiful

Guo Xincheng's tooth hurt with sorrow.

These days of the Chinese New Year, the Hou Ye is not in the house, the eldest prince refuses to go home, the house presses the gourd to float the scoop, and takes the opportunity to have several stealing things, it is easy to deceive and conceal it, and the old lady is not careful, and the old lady has set a new lady for the Hou Ye, and the Hou Ye is furious and also gave a death order, and the old lady is not allowed to go out to socialize, this time it is good, the old lady simply invited everyone to the house, this is also the meaning of the lady, and the Guo housekeeper is not not not stopped.

Hurry up to discuss with the Hun family, Guo Xincheng's family also has a bitter face, it's so late, the old lady is urging and urgent, the wine, meat, vegetables and vegetables for the banquet are not prepared, only to say a little that the old lady is uncomfortable, the old lady doesn't care about these things, just open your mouth to eat when the time comes, in the past, the Qi family arranged it early, this time the Qi family let go, Guo Xincheng's family also went over to ask for instructions, Caidie's little hoof only said to let her ask the old lady to go.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Guo Xincheng stomped his feet, "You are so thoughtful, I will send a letter to Hou Ye." ”

The barracks in the western suburbs can be dozens of miles, and when Guo Xincheng rushes over, it should be dark, and the barracks are closed at night, and he can't send the news, Guo Xincheng's family helped him prepare a covered fire sickle, so he can only go to the broken temple near the barracks for a night, and send a letter in the morning tomorrow, and when the Hou Ye hurried back, the wives of each family should also come, and the daylilies are cold.

Guo Xincheng's family asked the lotus fragrance next to the old lady, I heard that the house will be handed over to the eldest prince in the future, he was dumbfounded, the sky in the house will change in the future, Guo Xincheng's family said, "Anyway, you are late to the barracks, it is better to go over to explore the tone of the eldest prince first, and then the eldest prince will be in charge, and the two of us will also beg for a living under the eldest prince, the eldest prince, don't look at him small, his heart is a little more shrewd than the Hou Ye, and the old lady and the lady have listened to him, the Hou Ye values him again, and the new lady in the future will not be able to ask for benefits, Now is a good time for both of us to show our loyalty. ”

Guo Xincheng went to Brother Shen'er's side first.

Yurong also sat in a small sedan chair to see Brother Shen on the order of her grandmother, Zhang Shun's family was not there, Brother Shen was not there, only Zi Su came out with a few maids, Yurong entered Brother Shen's inner room, frowned slightly, this is too simple to say, the rooms in the house are better than here, a few cases of hard wood, a hardwood chair on the ground, and an ordinary screen, there is not even an antique ornament in the house, the brocade tent is very exquisite, but it was used in the house before.

Shisu served tea and said with a smile, "Our eldest son went out to meet friends, and he won't be able to come back until late, and the third miss will also try our dim sum here, this rose crisp is newly made, and the taste is good, the third lady will eat it." ”

The dim sum is just an ordinary plate, and the teacup is just an ordinary white teacup, the kind used by the rough mother-in-law, Yurong's eyes brought out dissatisfaction, and Zi Su accompanied him with a careful smile, "The eldest prince only has this kind of teacup here, and it is not easy to take it from the house, and our eldest prince can't afford it without silver in his hand." ”

Yurong pursed her lips and didn't say anything, thinking that Brother Shen had moved out and lived a nourishing life, but she didn't expect it to fall to such a point, the eldest son of the dignified Hou Mansion, the house is so simple, it makes people look like something, she will send a favor over at this time, and Brother Shen will have to take care of her in the future.

Yurong couldn't look down on these maids, but Brother Shen was not there, so she had to say, the old lady waited for her to go back, pinched her nose and picked up the teacup, she couldn't bear to send it to her mouth, so she had to put it down again, "When Brother Shen comes back, you sue him, let him go over tomorrow morning, I begged in front of my grandmother for a long time, and my grandmother was willing to agree, it was really a great joy, grandmother said that the house's chores were handed over to Brother Shen, and tomorrow I would set up a wine and invite the ladies of each family to come over to be a witness." ”

Zi Su was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked with a smile, and praised the third lady for her skill, the embroidered flowers on the skirt were beautiful, and praised the third miss for dressing up, Yurong was just reserved, and Zi Su also remembered, "Our eldest son also said yesterday that he had a new set of jewelry to give to the third lady, and I don't know where the eldest prince put it, and the slave remembered it." ”

Zi Su opened the small drawer on the wall cabinet and took out a beautifully carved mahogany lacquer box, Yu Rong hurriedly opened it to see, there was a golden step on the red velvet cloth that shone with golden light and shook the pearl color, which was extremely exquisite, Yu Rong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but pick it up with joy, Zi Su hurriedly handed over the bronze mirror diligently, Yu Rong gestured to his head, Zi Su smiled quietly, "Our eldest prince said that this will add makeup to the third miss, and the third miss will like it." ”

Jiang Xian saw that her face changed when she was so angry on the side, and just as she wanted to speak, Bai Xue hurriedly pulled her out to relax.

Yurong was deeply intoxicated, her face was red and her eyes were shining, admiring the beautiful shadow in the mirror, she couldn't take her eyes off it, Zi Su smiled quietly, "The third lady just take it back first, and it will save the eldest prince trouble, and the old lady will come to the third lady to help our eldest prince say good things." ”

Yurong hurriedly smiled, "If I don't help him, who will help him?" Both of us are concubines, and we should support each other, but I hate Yuqin for not putting me in my eyes and not putting my brother Shen in my eyes, this time when my wife is gone, I will see what she still has to rely on, and my aunt and grandmother can't control those things in our family. ”

Zi Su just said good things along the way, flattered the third lady to be happy, and said everything in the house, Yurong sat for a long time, to see if Brother Shen had not come back, it was getting late, Yurong had to take Jin Bu back, handed the box to the little maid who was close to him, and threatened not to peek, so he went to his grandmother to reply, and had to help Brother Shen, and added oil and vinegar to say that Brother Shen'er was simple, and the old lady was sad for a while.

Guo Xincheng and Zhang Shun talked for a long time about the elder brother in the outer courtyard, and the eldest prince did not come back, even Zhang Shun did not know where the eldest prince went, Guo Xincheng knew that Zhang Shun refused to tell the truth and had no choice, and secretly regretted that he had made a wrong idea and only flattered the eldest prince, and he was a little negligent to the eldest prince.

After drinking once, it was dark, Guo Xincheng had to leave, and he had to send a letter to Hou Ye.

Brother Shen is in the shop.

Is the person lying on the kang still Mei Xiang? The girl Mei Xiang, who always had a faint smile on her face, was lying on the kang with a soulless body, two hideous wounds on her face, her eyes were wide open, she didn't cry or struggle, she didn't eat when she was fed, she didn't drink water, and the woman lost her temper and didn't have the face to live, not to mention a strong woman like Mei Xiang, Zhang Shun's family and Sister-in-law Li didn't persuade anything, and the pain in a woman's heart was only known to a woman.

Zhang Shun's brother Shen came in and hurriedly stood up, "My little ancestor, why did you come here." ”

Brother Shen walked over and glanced at Mei Xiang, "Mei Xiang still refuses to eat?" ”

Zhang Shun's family turned his back to wipe his tears, and Mama Zhou brought in a bowl of poached eggs in sugar water, while nagging, "It's really a sin, what has happened to the good girl's family." ”

Mama Zhou was startled when she saw Brother Shen, and Brother Shen took the bowl in her hand, "I'll feed her a few bites." ”

Zhang Shunjia cried, "Don't kill her, you saved her, she doesn't have to die in that dirty place, Mei Xiang is already grateful to the eldest son, this is Mei Xiang's life, this is not the place where the eldest prince came, hurry back, let the maids send you to dinner, the slave wants to ask for a few days off to accompany Mei Xiang." ”

Brother Shen ignored Zhang Shun's family, took the bowl and walked to Mei Xiang's side and knelt down, Zhang Shun's family, Sister-in-law Li and Mama Zhou all exclaimed in unison, "No, eldest son." ”

Zhang Shun's family even covered his mouth and cried, "Eldest son, you killed Mei Xiang." ’”

Brother Shen shook his head, "Mei Xiang is worthy of my kneeling, the man has gold under his knees, his parents are kneeling to the sky, and those loyal people, women are martyred, Mei Xiang is worthy of the word Jielie." ”

Before the words were finished, Zhang Shun's family cried so much that he was gone, and he hurriedly asked Brother Shen to get up, "Eldest son, you killed Mei Xiang, eldest son, you are still young, you don't know what happened." ”

Brother Shen refused to get up, looked at Mei Xiang and said seriously, "I know what happened, Mei Xiang just let the wild dog bite it, I have already let the wild dog kill it, I also know that Mei Xiang doesn't want to live anymore, she didn't die several times, even God wants you to live, it's easy for you to die, but you hurt the hearts of these living people, do you know that Mei Lan saved you?" Do you know that she secretly sent the letter to Lamei? She secretly went out of the house in a pulp washing room, if she let the master know, she would have to be sold, Mei Xiang, you are sorry for Mei Lan's affection for you when you die. ”

Mei Xiang rolled her eyes, a little lively, Brother Shen continued to talk to her, while taking the opportunity to feed the sugar water into her mouth, Mei Xiang felt the sweet taste in her mouth, mixed with the bloody breath in her mouth, the taste was simply disgusting, and she vomited unconsciously, maybe it was the physical torture that restored her senses, maybe she listened to Brother Shen'er's words, Mei Xiang vomited and lay down weakly, hoarse and lost her voice, "Mei Lan saved me?" ”

Zhang Shunjia cried and handed over a small package, "Song Daxi's family came over early in the morning, and I asked her to send her back." ”

This is the package she gave to Mei Lan, Mei Xiang opened it with shaking hands, there were three small silver nudes in it, a few hairpin jewelry, this is not all of Mei Xiang's property, when she died, those maids would worry about her belongings, for fear of causing trouble to Song Daxi's family, so they only gave her a little, and there was a pair of silver bracelets here, a bunch of loose copper coins, these are all that Song Daxi's family can take out.

"When Song Daxi's family saw me, they said that she killed you and killed you." Zhang Shunjia choked up and couldn't go on.

Brother Shen saw Mei Xiangken speak, and hurriedly persuaded her to eat something, "Mei Xiang, I know that you are not afraid of death, you have already held the heart of death with two strokes on your face, but you didn't expect Hou Ye to be so ruthless, you no longer have the opportunity to die, at that time, you don't have to die anymore, it is even more difficult for you to live." ”

No one wants to die, unless they are cornered, Mei Xiang took the poached egg and swallowed it in a big gulp, Zhang Shun's family and Li's sister-in-law Zhou Mama covered their mouths and cried, Brother Shen turned around and went out, and saw a little starry hanging on the night, and the cold wind blew the cheeks painfully, and there was as much ugliness as there was beauty in this world.

When Mr. Huang came behind him, he didn't say anything, just put his palm on Brother Shen'er's immature shoulder. R1152
