Chapter 122: Wanru's Troubles
In the evening, Sima Xin saw the two walking hand in hand.
Sima Xin couldn't help laughing: "When I was in Jingzhou, I asked you, why didn't you take her with you?" You claim to have gone to Luoyang for business. Why is it that you can't bear it anymore after only half a month? ”
Zheng Sheng said embarrassedly: "I was wrong. I still feel too uncomfortable when Sniff is not around. ”
Sima Xin smiled: "Don't say this in front of me, go back to your room and talk to her slowly!" ”
Zheng Sheng immediately changed the topic to wanting to move out of the county mansion.
Sima Xin pondered for a moment: "Since your brother has considered you thoroughly, I won't force you to stay." Are the servants enough? ”
"My brother should be able to hire some." Zheng Sheng explained.
Sima Xian thought to himself, and didn't say anything more.
Zheng Sheng took her back to the room, and said with some distress: "Oh, there is only one bed, what should I do?" ”
Liu Wen'er looked at it, "As a maid, I'll sleep on the ground on the floor." ”
Zheng Sheng shook his head: "It's cold, and looking at the weather, it seems to be snowing tonight." If you sleep on the ground, will you not freeze? ”
Liu Wei'er looked at him with a smile.
"Sniff." Zheng Sheng took her hand.
"In the eyes of outsiders, I have already been ruined by you! What's the difference between sleeping in one bed and not sleeping in the same bed? Liu Wei'er said softly.
"Who dares to gossip!" Zheng Sheng said angrily.
"I heard it."
Suddenly, Zheng Sheng felt a little wrong, and Zheng Sheng stared at her carefully: "No, my sniffer is kind-hearted and never complains to me." How did it change after this meeting? Who is the one who has a bad idea for you these days in Wanquan Town? ”
Liu Wen'er blushed and lowered her head: "No." I just figured something out. ”
Liu Wei'er said this, but in fact, these days, she was indeed forced to ask about some things, such as that night. It took her a long time to explain to them before they could barely believe the truth. Then, a widowed woman and a woman who couldn't even handle her own affairs came up with various ideas for her.
Liu Yan'er's attitude made Zheng Sheng understand instantly, and he stopped asking her. If he thinks about it himself, it is nothing more than those few people: Su Wenxuan, Mrs. Han or Wen Xiaoting.
But what does it matter if a woman is jealous of her lover?
Zheng Sheng hugged her and said in a low voice, "Sniff, I won't let you suffer any grievances." ”
This night, the two still hugged each other and slept together.
The next day, Zheng Sheng looked at the white earth through the gap in the wooden window: "Sure enough, it is snowing again." ”
The girl in his arms was still asleep. Her face was flushed with a healthy glow. Zheng Sheng felt a burst of peace in his heart, and couldn't help but have this thought: It would be great if he could hold her forever like this!
But this atmosphere was broken in an instant.
A cry came from outside!
Zheng Sheng listened to the high-pitched shouting of this male duck, and he was in an unhappy mood for a moment. He hurriedly reached for her ear. But it was too late, Liu Wen'er opened her sleepy eyes in confusion, "What's wrong?" The Son? How are you there? Oh, by the way, I'm in Luoyang too. ”
Liu Wei'er, who is a little confused, has a different kind of beauty in Zheng Sheng's opinion.
He put on his coat and covered her with the quilt again: "There seems to be some trouble in the mansion, I'll go out and take a look." You sleep a little longer. ”
Liu Wen'er lay down obediently, watched him leave, and couldn't help muttering, "Still refuse." Are they right? Or should he be trusted? ”
Zheng Sheng walked out of the door, looked at the sky that was still snowing, and followed the source of the sound to the side room in the front yard.
At this time, there were more than a dozen people gathered around, standing at the door of the side room, ignoring the flying snowflakes, arguing loudly.
"Wang Sui, what's wrong?" Zheng Sheng finally discovered an acquaintance, who was Sima Xin's personal follower Wang Sui.
Wang Sui walked out of the crowd, stood beside Zheng Sheng, and looked at the extremely indignant family member who was crying out for the sky and grabbing the ground, and the others couldn't hold it at all, he stomped his feet angrily and shouted: "The county prince hasn't gotten up yet, if he hears it, this guy will be punished together!" ”
The voices of the crowd suddenly froze.
An old man said to the family: "Ying'an, this incident has disturbed the grandfather, and we will all be punished." Come with me to the butler, and he will call the shots for you. ”
"No, I want the county magistrate to administer justice for me!" Yingan still shouted.
"Bold! Who borrowed your guts to make you so presumptuous! Steward Sima walked over quickly, pointed at him and scolded: "Ying'an, remember that your grandfather has been in the house for three generations, spare you this time!" Drag it down and hit twenty sticks! ”
"Butler, butler! Listen to me, listen to me! Please, let me go to the county magistrate! Ying An said loudly.
Steward Sima walked up to Zheng Sheng a little tiredly: "Zheng Shizi, this is just a housework in the house. I don't bother with the world. ”
Glancing at that Ying'an again, Zheng Sheng nodded yes, thinking that this was really not interesting, and he was ready to go back.
Zheng Sheng just turned around and saw Sima Xin coming over with a calm expression: "What happened?" ”
Zheng Sheng stopped and said hello to Sima Xin.
"County Princess!" Ying An shook off the many family members who were grabbing him and rushed straight to Sima Xin.
Zheng Sheng raised his eyebrows, is he going to stage an assassination scene? Zheng Sheng stepped sideways, ready to shoot.
But Na Ying'an actually lay on the snow in front of Sima Xin with a puff, and cried in his more chic voice: "The county prince is the master for me!" ”
Sima Xin looked at him sharply, flew up directly, and kicked him away: "Sima Pingxi, take care of your people." ”
The old housekeeper Sima Pingxi fell to the ground in a cold sweat: "The old slave's fault! ”
Sima Xin turned around, but was grabbed by a hand at the hem of his cloak. He looked at Sima Xin with a fierce gaze: "County magistrate, if you don't make decisions for me, you will lose the hearts of many old ministers!" ”
Sima Xin kicked him away again, holding back his anger, "Okay, I'll just stand in this snow and listen to your grievances!" ”
Ying An lay on the ground excitedly, and crawled to Sima Xin's side with his hands and feet: "County lord, the slave is bitter!" All the subordinates of the government know that eight years ago, my mother and Wanru's mother made a marriage contract for their children. Now, the doesn't recognize the marriage contract! ”
"Wanru?" Sima Xin had heard this name recently, and he looked at Zheng Sheng with a smile. Zheng Sheng shrugged innocently, he didn't do anything.
"That mother and daughter are descendants of the Wu Kingdom, if it weren't for my mother seeing them pitiful, she would have starved to death in her early years!" Ying An said viciously.
"Starvation? If it's in our house, why do you starve to death? Sima Pingxi, why do you want to withhold their food and clothing? Sima Xin keenly grasped a detail.
Sima Pingxi sighed: "This matter was done privately by a few slaves and maids, they bullied newcomers and wanted to be greedy for some food and clothing, and after I learned about it, I have already dealt with those people." ”
Sima Xin looked at Ying An, but his face became a little uneasy. Sima Xin frowned: "In this case, your family is beneficial to them, and you are an unmarried couple with her." I have also seen that woman, she is not like an ungrateful person, why is she not willing to marry you? ”
Ying An was submissive and speechless.
Sima Pingxi said on the side: "County lord, this guy is an idle silverfish who is unwilling to work hard. Wanru is both smart and diligent, this guy is lazy and doesn't say anything, and often harasses her. Wanru was naturally extremely dissatisfied with him. ”
