Chapter 52: Mistakes
"What is she doing there?" Qian Man grabbed the horse and glanced at it with a frown.
"Although the Spring Breeze Inn is not as good as Changlong, it will cost at least a few hundred wen to eat and live, she is a country girl, how can she have that spare money, besides, how can she be willing to give up her money as her life!" Bi Tao said disdainfully.
"She's actually curling her hair on the street!" Qian Man said in surprise.
You must know that the boudoir women of large families are not allowed to smooth their hair and arrange their clothes in public, even if they are as bold as her, they must be avoided, otherwise, they will be considered to be scratching their heads and making postures.
And Gu Qingzhu was born in the countryside, when he was in a hurry to do farm work, his hair was scattered, his clothes were wrinkled, and he got it with his hands, it was not a big deal, and even more, the bride took the baby to work in the field, and it was common for the villagers to be fed on the ridges of the tea ridges.
Therefore, what Qian Man thought was terrible was just ordinary in Gu Qingzhu's eyes.
"She's not eating or staying, so she wouldn't have just had a private meeting here." Hearing this, Bi Tao seemed to have discovered something, and her eyes widened, like a cat smelling fish, and guessed excitedly.
"Are you going to the theater and shopping too much, or are you crazy about talking books, and you have private meetings with people, why don't you see men?" Qian Man was intrigued by Bi Tao's words, so he simply stood and looked.
"Look, isn't that coming!" Bi Tao screamed in a low voice, as if she was catching something that could not be seen.
Qian Man looked over, only to see a thin man wearing a lotus-blue dark striped robe, bowed out of the Spring Breeze Inn, he stood still, dusted off the dust on his body, he was about to go to the place where Gu Qingzhu was, walked a few steps, but paused and hesitated, turned back, and walked in the opposite direction.
"The eldest son of the Song family, how could it be him?" Bi Tao recognized the man at a glance and said with some surprise.
"The son of the Song family, who is a broken householder, doesn't want to do business seriously, and he actually hooks up with a country girl, and he can't get on the stage!" Qian Man snorted, felt that there was nothing to see, and turned around to leave.
"Miss, you...... And lo and behold! Bi Tao seemed to be stimulated even more, and her speech trembled.
"Who did you see again......" Qian looked back impatiently, and his face changed instantly.
I saw that in the Spring Breeze Inn, out of a smoke-colored flower brocade dress Mu Jincheng, he was supporting a woman wearing a goose yellow embroidered pleated skirt, this woman was born with a good face, delicate facial features, a figure like a weak willow in the wind, a posture like a heart Xizi, she half leaned on Mu Jincheng, seemed to be delicate and weak.
"Slut!" Qian Man gritted his teeth.
For all the hypocritical women next to Mu Jincheng, no matter who it is, the name she gives is the same.
"Isn't this Miss Mu Jiabiao Song Yunxiang? Everyone said that she admired the second master of the Mu family, and this was mixed with the third master, which was ......" Bi Tao almost slipped away, but fortunately, she covered her mouth in time.
Although Mu Jincheng is recognized as a straw bag in Ningjiang City, he is the favorite of his master, which annoys Qian Man, don't say that she is a girl, she is her own mother and Lao Tzu, she dares to scold, when the time comes, it is light to beat her and scold her, and send her to Wanhualou, that is life is better than death!
"Hmph, this girl has to lose her dead father, she didn't rely on it, otherwise, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, when she was young, the old lady of the Mu family spoiled her, this time, she grew up, hooked up with other people's brothers like a fox, look, this is planning to climb to the position of the hostess of the Mu family no matter what." Qian sneered disdainfully from his nostrils.
"That'...... The third master ......" Bi Tao glanced at Qian Man's frosty face and muttered.
"It's none of my business how she wants to climb up, but if she dares to covet my man, don't blame me for being unkind!" Qian Man had already assigned Mu Jincheng to his own, and he was bound to get it, so he saw her stomp her feet, lead the horse, and walk straight to the Spring Breeze Inn.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and the guests who ate in the Spring Breeze Inn had dispersed, and the people staying in the hotel were all in their own rooms, even the shopkeepers were napping in the back room, and only one apprentice was sweeping the floor.
"Shicai, has the third master of the Mu family been here?" Qian Man looked up and asked lightly.
"Miss Qian!" Seeing that he was the most tricky master in Ningjiang City, the young man naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly dropped the broom and saluted.
"What do you ask?" Qian Man couldn't bear these false courtesies, and frowned and asked.
"Come, come, but I'm gone." The young man nodded repeatedly.
"Who did he come with, or who did he date?" Qian Man flicked his horsewhip and banged on the counter again and again.
"It's just with his two retinues, and there is no one else." When the young man saw her like this, he was afraid that the whip would be drawn on himself, so he didn't dare to hide it.
"Huh?!" Qian Man was extremely dissatisfied and questioned it.
"Oh, I remembered, when I came, a big guy carried a super large sack, I don't know what was in it, and later, it didn't take much time, the two guys left, when Mu Sanye left, I was busy, I didn't seem to see the sack?" The young man touched the back of his head, tried to recall, and said with some uncertainty.
"Which room does he live in?" When Qian Man heard this, he wanted to find out more about the room.
Could it be that these two people still play such clumsy tricks in order to avoid private meetings?
"Oh, the third room on the east side of the second floor." The young man said busily.
"Is it still empty?" Qian Man glanced at the wooden bar on which the keys were hung on the counter, on which were three or four rows of keys.
"It's here, it's here, there are a lot of suitable people, and I haven't had time to clean it yet." The young man raised his finger and pointed.
"That's right, I'm going to want this." Qian Man reached out for the key.
"This ...... This is not good, the shopkeeper said, the room that has not been cleaned up can not be occupied, you see, these rooms are all cleaned up, they are all excellent rooms, if you want to take a break, you can pick at will. The young man stepped back and took out a couple of keys.
"What so much nonsense!" Qian Man's eyes widened, her narrow eyes bulging, and she looked very fierce.
"Yes...... But ......" The young man was a little frightened, and when he was nervous, his tongue was knotted, and he couldn't speak.
"My young lady's words are tactful, things turned out to be like this, Mu Sanye was sitting in our store drinking at this time, and found that the purse on his waist was missing, saying that it may have fallen in your guest room, fortunately, you haven't cleaned it yet, we just went up to take a look, if you find it, everyone is fine, if you can't find it, we can also give you a testimony to prove that it is not your private collection, so as not to be punished by the shopkeeper." Seeing this, Bi Tao took out a few copper coins and stuffed them into his hand, and said softly.
"This ...... All right. The young man hesitated and picked the key and handed it to Bi Tao.
The master and servant glanced at each other, understood, and went upstairs to open the door and enter.
I saw that the room was simply furnished, the table was full of a pot of tea, there was still residual warmth, but I had not drunk half a cup, a chair was dragged out diagonally, the bedding on the bed was lifted, and the bed was messy, obviously I had slept on.
Seeing this, Qian Man's blood surged, and those pictures that she had peeked at the two brothers had secretly hidden before came to her mind, she could almost imagine the scene where Mu Jincheng and Song Yunxiang were here in Wushan Yunyu and rehearsed the thirty-six styles one by one, thinking of this, she couldn't wait to bite her mouth full of silver teeth.
Like a hound with a keen sense of smell, Bi Tao rummaged around, and suddenly with a snort, two fingers pulled out a silk handkerchief stained with dust and blood from the gap in the corner of the wall.
Qian Man recognized at a glance that this light blue silk handkerchief embroidered with cloud and water patterns was Mu Jincheng's, and the blood stains on it were still bright red, her eyes were filled with terrifying hatred, and the bottom of her eyes was redder than the blood.
"Miss Qian, have you ever found it?" The young man took a broom and a dustpan and stood in the doorway to probe his brain.
Qian Man clutched the silk handkerchief, stepped out of the door with a blue face, Bi Tao followed behind her without saying a word, the young man saw this, shrugged his head and stood aside, and he didn't dare to come out.
"Drive!" Qian Man walked out of the inn quickly, turned over and got on his horse, and walked straight away regardless of Bi Tao.
"Oh, Miss!" Bi Tao shouted and ran a few steps.
The horse rode in the dust, the four hooves were like flying, how could she be a girl to catch up, Bi Tao ate a mouthful of ash, stood on the street, helplessly watched Qian Man gallop on the horse, and soon disappeared.
"Today, I don't know which person in Zhuangzi is going to be unlucky, the eldest lady is so angry, she must be looking for fault and beating people to get angry." Bi Tao thought, shook her head, and went back to Changlong Restaurant by herself.
Qian Man's movement was too big, and he had already startled the shopkeeper of the Spring Breeze Inn, but he didn't want to see this evil god, so he hid in the back room and pretended to sleep.
"Why did you provoke her?" The shopkeeper saw that the money was gone, so he came out to ask the young man.
"No, how dare I, she asked me about Mu Sanye's stay in the hotel, and I told the truth, how did I know that she was so angry." The young man pleaded aggrievedly.
"Today, it's also strange, the rich Song Gongzi made an appointment with Miss Mu Jiabiao, and the two didn't know what to talk about, but they made the person who made the snow cry, this cry didn't matter, but it was heard by Mu Sanye, he was a bastard, and he was going to beat Song Gongzi indiscriminately, if I hadn't been persuaded in time, our store would have been completely ruined!" The shopkeeper sighed while looking through the ledger.
"Isn't Miss Mu Jiabiao the cousin of Song Gongzi? If you want to be in charge, the third aunt and grandmother of the Mu family married Song Ruihong, the uncle of the Song family, what a scenery it is, only the dowry is placed from the street to the end of the street, the wedding banquet is held for three days, and almost everyone in Nancang County has come to eat this flowing water banquet. An older man on the side recalled.
"At that time, it was really full of flowers, cooking oil on fire, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, Uncle Song and his wife went out to do business, unfortunately encountered bandits, both died, fortunately left a seedling, although it is a female doll, but it is also their bloodline, the old lady of the Mu family came to mourn her daughter, and she couldn't bear to send her granddaughter under the fence, so she received the raising and teaching around her, and the second room of the Song family was happy to be clean, which saved the trouble and burden, and also got the property of the big house in vain." The other tall lanky guy continued.
"So what, the Song family has no uncle who can do business, and the second master is a scholar, how many family properties have been cheated of, so that the family is in the middle of the road, fortunately, Song Gongzi grew up and took over the business, so he kept some of it, but it can't be the same as back then." The shopkeeper sighed.
