Chapter 105: Modern Life
"Lord Wang, after I went back yesterday, I discussed it with my brother, and we handled this marriage in Sun's mansion."
"Why?"
Qinglian looked around and said after looking around that there were no suspicious people: "Lord Wang, do you think that if we hold a banquet in Sun Mansion, there will definitely be many people coming that day." Taking advantage of the chaos of the scene...... Qinglian didn't continue, and Wei Han also understood what she meant. Originally, Wei Han planned to hold a marriage in his residence, and Sun Zhang would definitely come to participate in it, and on the wedding night, he could send someone to sneak into Sun's mansion to collect evidence of Sun Zhang's corruption and bribery, and selling salt without permission. But as soon as Qinglian said this, Wei Han suddenly changed his mind, if he reported the marriage in the Sun Mansion, then he could take advantage of the chaos to collect evidence, wouldn't it be safer. Wei Han agreed without shirking. Seeing this, Qinglian hooked the corners of her mouth, and a trace of cunning flashed in her eyes, which was fleeting.
Su Zhenzhen sat in front of the bronze mirror, staring blankly at herself in the bronze mirror and sitting for a day. Looking at herself with red and swollen eyes in the bronze mirror, Su Zhenzhen touched her face distressedly.
"Su Zhenzhen, you can't slump all at once, life still has to go on, you have to live well." Su Zhenzhen secretly cheered herself up in her heart. Since Wei Han left, she didn't know how many grievances she had suffered, but she could only swallow it in her stomach, relying on herself, a person who didn't belong here, she couldn't fight them.
"Girl, this is the meal that Zhang's mother asked me to deliver." The maid put down her meal and ran out.
Su Zhenzhen glanced at it, dragged her tired body, ate a little food, and lay down on the bed early. Because of the reason of crying for a day, Su Zhenzhen's eyes were very sore, and not long after lying on the bed and closing her eyes, Su Zhenzhen fell asleep deeply. People who can dream of thinking about themselves day and night, in this era without any means of communication, has become a luxury for Su Zhenzhen.
"Hey, there are people in front of me who are doing a wedding, I haven't seen what your marriage is like here, let's go over and take a look, come on, August."
"Princess, didn't you go through it yourself?"
"Oh, it's different." Su Zhenzhen rushed to the front of the crowd, only to see a handsome man, sitting on a high horse, and the groom turned his head and glanced at Su Zhenzhen.
"Wang ...... Lord Wang, look at August. "Su Zhenzhen's whole person is stupid.
"Princess, it's really a prince."
"Stop." Su Zhenzhen didn't know where she got the courage, rushed out of the crowd and blocked the front, but fortunately, the people on the horse reacted quickly and restrained the horse in time.
"Lord, why are you, why are you hiding it from me, you are going to marry a concubine again? Lord, why, don't you love Su Zhenzhen? Su Zhenzhen sat on the ground and cried.
"Lord, don't go, Lord." Su Zhenzhen suddenly opened her eyes, looked left and right, and let out a long breath, it turned out to be just a dream, Su Zhenzhen raised her hand and wiped a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. There was a false alarm, Wei Han in the dream was about to marry a wife again, and he still hid it from himself. This dream made Su Zhenzhen unable to sleep peacefully. The next day, he had thick dark circles under his eyes and a tired face. But what Su Zhenzhen didn't expect was that it was not a dream, but a reality.
Wei Han, who was in Yangzhou, got married immediately.
Yangzhou City, Sun Mansion, and the courtyard are all hung with red lanterns, and the servants are in and out of Qinglian, and Wei Han's marriage is busy.
Tomorrow will be the time for them to get married.
After Su Zhenzhen had breakfast, she cleaned herself up and prepared to take a stroll in the back garden of the Qinglou to relax. Look at the flowers in the garden and listen to the chirping of birds. Looking up at the sky, it was exceptionally clear. It's been a long time since she's been so calm outside, and since Wei Han left, she was afraid that the other concubines would find trouble, so she locked herself in the room until the brothel where she was sold. The air in ancient times was so good, and the sky was so blue, and Su Zhenzhen saw many plants here that she had never seen in modern times. While Su Zhenzhen was enjoying everything here, she suddenly heard a woman crying softly.
"How can someone cry at the sound of it, it really swept my Yaxing." Su Zhenzhen muttered. But I'm ready to hear the sound and go and find out. I saw a small hidden pavilion behind the bamboo forest, and a woman climbed on the stone table, crying with grief. Seeing this, Su Zhenzhen walked over a little distressed, such a beautiful woman, crying pear blossoms with rain, who would not feel distressed when she saw it.
"Girl, what's the matter?"
The woman who was crying raised her head when she heard the sound, raised her arm to cover her face, and hurriedly wiped her face with a handkerchief before saying, "Let the girl smile."
"Who are you, and why are you crying alone here?" Su Zhenzhen asked.
"Girl, I am the youngest daughter of the Li family, but my father owes a debt and sold me to this green building last year." The woman said with tears rolling in her eyes.
"Then why are you crying so sadly, did Mother Zhang do it to you?" Su Zhenzhen said as she looked up and down to see if the woman was injured.
"The girl misunderstood, it was yesterday, the little girl's sweetheart came over with the silver taels for the little girl, and wanted to redeem the little girl, but Zhang's mother said that the silver taels were not enough and didn't let him take me away. But when he was reasoning with them, Zhang's mother asked someone to beat the little girl's sweetheart. The woman burst into tears as she spoke.
"I'm a young man, but I don't want to stay here, the little girl wants to leave and live happily with her sweetheart." The woman then added, "It really makes the girl laugh." ”
"Okay, don't cry yet." Su Zhenzhen comforted. Modern people are unpredictable, and they almost never tell strangers what is on their minds, but the woman in front of her trusts herself so much that she told Su Zhenzhen about her experience, it turns out that this woman is crying so sadly for her sweetheart, which really makes Su Zhenzhen feel inexplicably moved.
"Thank you, girl, for your comfort." The woman owes a debt of thanks.
"Hey, what kind of person is the girl, how could she end up here." The woman asked, as she looked at the people in front of her who were not dressed differently.
"Alas, don't mention it, I was also sold in not long after I arrived, but unlike you, I was framed." Su Zhenzhen said helplessly.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Su Zhenzhen, what about you." Su Zhenzhen said immediately.
"The little girl's name is Yu'er."
"Yu'er, Yu'er. Good name. Su Zhenzhen smiled at Yu'er. The first feeling that this jade gave Su Zhenzhen was weakness and simplicity. made Su Zhenzhen feel that the two had the same temperament. So Su Zhenzhen secretly made up her mind that if Wei Han came to save her, she must give this jade out.
"By the way, Miss Su, you said that you just came, Yu'er thinks you are very kind, if Miss Su has something, you can come to Yu'er."
"Really? That's great. Su Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, and she finally had a companion here. When you have nothing to do, you can also go to Yu'er, and the two can talk to each other together.
"Miss Su, it's time for us to go back." Yu'er reminded.
"Okay, let's go back." Su Zhenzhen and Yu'er, who had just met today, talked in the small pavilion, and each other felt much better.
At night, Su Zhenzhen stood in the corridor of the attic and watched Yu'er dance below, Yu'er twisted her waist, and when she looked up, she saw Su Zhenzhen standing on the upper floor, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"It's a shame to be such a good woman." Su Zhenzhen sighed silently in her heart. Then he went back to his room.
"Su Zhenzhen, this is a new dress that I have made for you. My business is getting better and better now, thanks to you. The old woman's face was a little kind.
"Su Zhenzhen thanked Mother Zhang, this is what Su Zhenzhen should do, but after so many days, I don't know if the prince has any news?"
"I sent someone to inquire, but the prince hasn't returned home."
"I'm tired of Zhang's mother." Su Zhenzhen owed a debt and bowed.
At night, Su Zhenzhen lies on the bed and looks at the night sky outside through the window on the wall, the modern sky is different from the ancient one, the ancient environment is very good, and there is almost no pollution. So the ancient sky was full of stars.
Such a beautiful night sky, the stars are twinkling and twinkling, if you can drink your beloved, lie on the lawn in the suburbs, and enjoy this beautiful scenery together, how pleasant it would be, thinking of this, Su Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Knock knock, knock knock......"
"Who, don't sleep at night." Su Zhenzhen hurriedly sat up, hugged the quilt to her chest, and made a defensive posture. After all, it was late at night, and I was in a different place, so I had to be more vigilant.
"Miss Su is me." The man outside replied in a whisper.
"Yu'er. What are you doing here. Su Zhenzhen immediately jumped out of bed, went to open the door, opened the door and saw that it was really Yu'er, Su Zhenzhen spied left and right, quickly took Yu'er into the house, and closed the door tightly.
"Miss Su, I'm really sorry to come over so late to disturb your rest." The woman said with some guilt.
"It's okay, I haven't slept anyway, what's wrong Yu'er." Su Zhenzhen took Yu'er's hand and asked.
Yu'er suddenly knelt in front of Su Zhenzhen and said, "Yu'er has something to ask Miss Su for help."
"Hurry up, if I can help, I'll definitely help you get up." Seeing this, Su Zhenzhen hurriedly helped the woman up.
"Miss Su, Yu'er is really desperate, Yu'er thinks...... I want to escape. The woman said with teary eyes.
"Get out?" Su Zhenzhen was shocked by the woman's words.
"No, Yu'er, if Mother Zhang knew about it, she would ......" Su Zhenzhen didn't say any more, just looked at the woman in front of her in horror, thinking of the fate of the women who ran away and disobeyed that Wei Han had taken her to see, and she shuddered. She didn't want to see Yu'er end up like that, Su Zhenzhen wanted to stop her, and she also wanted to tell her that she would take her away, but now Su Zhenzhen is also in a predicament, if she tells Yu'er that she will take her away, in case the prince can't come over to save her. That Yu'er will not only be happy in vain, but maybe she will also be affected. But how to persuade her? Su Zhenzhen was a little annoyed.
"Yu'er knows everything, but Yu'er can't stay here for a moment."
"I can understand your feelings, why shouldn't I." Su Zhenzhen was a little helpless.
Yu'er didn't answer. Just wiping tears alone.
"You're looking for me to help you, have you figured out how to escape?" Su Zhenzhen asked again.
When Yu'er heard Su Zhenzhen's question, a glimmer of light flashed in front of her, as if she saw hope, Yu'er leaned close to Su Zhenzhen's ear and muttered a few words, telling Su Zhenzhen her plan.
"This ...... Will this work? "Actually, Su Zhenzhen is reluctant to take risks, after all, they have only known each other for two days, and it will be troublesome if things are exposed. But seeing that Yu'er trusted herself so much, Su Zhenzhen couldn't bear to refuse. I had to prevaricate: "You're asking me to think about it." After all, this matter is not a trivial matter. ”
"Okay, I'm bothering Miss Su today, if Miss Su figures it out, just come to me." Yu'er smiled.
After sending Yu'er away, Su Zhenzhen was a little shaken when she heard Yu'er's words, and she could escape with Yu'er together. But then I thought about it carefully, even if I escaped, where would I go in this unfamiliar place. The prince is not here, if he is unlucky to escape and falls into the hands of the thief or Mrs. Cheng, wouldn't it be a dead end, it is better to stay here safely, or wait for the prince to come back, plus he has made such a great contribution to this Qinglou, even if the prince can't pick me up in time. For the sake of these contributions she has made, Zhang's mother should not be particularly embarrassed by herself, but she is thinking of a way to reform the Qinglou. Su Zhenzhen thought for a while, and then thought of the tortured woman that Wei Han had shown her, weighing the pros and cons Su Zhenzhen decided, not to go, yes, she wants to be here, not only does she want to be here for the time being, she also has to find a way to persuade Yu'er to let Yu'er stay first, and then wait, if the prince fails to arrive in time, she will definitely find a way to escape with Yu'er.
