Chapter 45: She despised him
Song Nanzhou didn't even bother to sneer, "Then you really have a backbone." β
This person is too difficult to serve, this mouth is really annoying, if you can't speak, shut up and don't say anything, a mouth is either mockery or sarcasm, more than a knife mouth!
Wen Xiang simply closed her mouth and waited intently for the food.
But Song Nanzhou refused to let her go: "Why don't you speak?" β
"If you stab me when I say something, I'm not a masochist." Wen Xiang unceremoniously gave him a roll of the eyes, and twisted her head away arrogantly.
Song Nanzhou couldn't believe his eyes, he paused for a while, and then narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Are you arguing with me?" β
"I'm not just fighting you, I'm also fighting you!" Wen Xiang glared at him: "Your mother didn't teach you, should you be polite when talking to people?" β
She looked like a fried cat.
Like the cat that accompanied him through the loneliest and most difficult times on Jiuli Mountain, especially the big round eyes.
When the cat is angry, it also stares like this.
"It's true that no one taught me." Song Nanzhou's eyes drooped slightly: "Besides, when you talk to you, you need to be polite?" β
Wen Xiang: "......"
Her heart hurt so much, and her little heart was pierced into a sieve by Song Nanzhou's small arrows "biu-biu-biu". Fortunately, she has a big heart, otherwise she will definitely be angry with him!
"With your attitude, is no one really trying to beat you up?" Wen Xiang pressed her chest and asked weakly.
"Yes." Song Nanzhou nodded: "Tang Shaozong." β
Wen Xiang's eyes that suddenly lit up and darkened without hope made Song Nanzhou laugh, he glanced at her, and his very unhappy mood because he was affected by her was a lot better at this time.
"You want to beat me?"
Wen Xiang looked at his tall body, and then at his thin little body: he said righteously: "I won't do such a stupid thing as hitting a stone with an egg." β
Song Nanzhou couldn't help but smile: "Knowing your catties and taels, it's a bit self-aware." β
Wen Xiang was dazzled by his smile.
This man is either sneering, sarcastic, or evil, and I have never seen such a pure smile as he is.
It's just that he himself seems to be a little uncomfortable, and after laughing, he purses his lips slightly, and a shallow pear vortex appears at the corner of his left lip.
"Did anyone say you look good when you laugh?" Wen Xiang unconsciously said what was in her heart.
Song Nanzhou's eyes were sharp, and his handsome and abnormal face suddenly became gloomy.
Wen Xiang's heart trembled, and the strong sense of danger made her scalp stand up: "Hehe, I'm kidding...... So what, the dish is coming, do you want to drink? I can have two drinks with you. But you're going to go back to camp in a moment, and it's not good for people to find out that you've drunk? Then don't drink, eat vegetables and eat vegetables - whatever you like, I'll help you pick up the vegetables. This fried liver tip looks good, can you taste it? Otherwise, try this sauce and pork pour. β
It wasn't until the strong dangerous aura emanating from Song Nanzhou's body dissipated that Wen Xiang dared to look up at him, "You...... Are you angry? β
But what did she just say, and he was so angry that he looked like he was going to pinch her to death immediately?
Wen Xiang thought about it carefully, he was angry, could it be because she said that he looked good when he smiled?
Tsk, what kind of perverted character is this, you can't even praise him for his good looks?
It's like poking his sore feet, what an inexplicable man!
Seeing Wen Xiang's cautious appearance that suddenly became honest and didn't dare to take a breath, Song Nanzhou said lightly: "If you want to eat, shut up for me." β
"Oh......" Wen Xiang responded slowly, muttering in a low voice: "How can you eat when you close your mouth?" Shut up and eat for me. β
Song Nanzhou's forehead jumped: "......"
This little goblin was trembling with fear just now, and in the blink of an eye, she dared to talk back to him!
Is her fear all faked?
β¦β¦
For a meal, Song Nanzhou almost didn't move his chopsticks, but Wen Xiang ate it happily.
After eating until she was full of burps, she reluctantly put down her chopsticks.
"There are so many more, can you pack them?" She asked Song Nanzhou.
"Packing?" Song Nanzhou was puzzled.
"Just pack it up and take it away." Wen Xiang explained in a good voice: "Keep it and eat it when you're hungry." β
Song Nanzhou almost wanted to brush his sleeves away, "If you dare to make such a shameful move, don't say you know your master when you see your master in the future!" β
How can you take it with you if you can't finish it? Is he Song Nanzhou poor to this point?
"It's a shame to waste food!" Wen Xiang sat still, "And you see so many beggars outside who have nothing to eat, how pitiful, isn't it?" Even if you don't eat leftovers, don't waste them, it's a kind act to give them food. Okay, you go check out, I'll clean it up here. β
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to pack up the leftovers and take them away.
Song Nanzhou: "......"
Watch her seriously figure out the leftovers.
Forget it, it's not his person who lost it anyway, just let her be!
But thinking that she was going to go out with him with those leftovers for a while, Song Nanzhou frowned.
It's still his people who lose it!
The shopkeeper took the food box with a strange look and handed it to Wen Xiang, seeing that she put the leftovers into the food box, he couldn't help but remind her: "This master, the food box and dishes also have to be accounted for." β
That is, she wants to take these leftovers and give money for the packaging?
But this bit of silver is definitely not worth mentioning to the little brother of the prince.
So Wen Xiang didn't take it to heart: "Didn't the master who walked over just now go to settle the bill?" Just ask him for money. β
The smile on the shopkeeper's face disappeared, "The master has already left just now, tell the little ones, you will settle the bill." β
Wen Xiang almost knocked over the plate in her hand, and raised her head in shock: "What? He's gone? He didn't pay? β
A thunderbolt on a sunny day, the warm fragrance of the thunderbolt is dizzy!
"The small shop is a small business, and it is not on credit. This man, you two spent a total of six dollars of silver in the shop today - do you still need food boxes and dishes? The shopkeeper, who had no smile, stood up straight and stared at her vigilantly, for fear that she would run away from the door in the next moment.
Wen Xiang, who had been petrified for a long time, couldn't believe that Song Nanzhou just left her and ran away, "Or I'll go to the door and take a look, the boy just now definitely didn't leave, I'll find him back and settle the bill." β
She tentatively moved, and the shopkeeper immediately shouted towards the back hall: "Everyone, come quickly, someone wants to pay the bill!" β
Hulala, a group of people ran out of the back hall, some of these people ran the hall, some were cooks, some were handy, and everyone had weapons such as sticks and spatulas in their hands.
"If you dare to repay your debts today, we will send you to the government to be punished."
Wen Xiang shook her hand in fright: "Don't be impulsive, calm down, I don't mean to eat the overlord meal." I will definitely give the silver, and I will definitely not repay the debt-little second brother, how much is the total amount? β
"Six coins and thirty wen, the odds are wiped for you, you can just give six coins of silver." Seeing that she was willing to give money, the shopkeeper immediately changed his smiling face as if he had changed his face, and waved his hand to let the person who rushed out go back to the back hall.
Wen Xiang's heart was dripping with blood, and she took out all her belongings with trembling fingers.
Just now, her set of clothes was only sold for five cents of silver, and now she eats half a month's ration in one meal!
Wen Xiang wanted to cry without tears, and trembled and counted the silver and handed it to the shopkeeper: "This food box is ...... leftovers."
The shopkeeper looked at her pitiful appearance and sighed, "I'll give it to you." You, don't spend money lavishly in the future, you don't look rich, how can you squander it like this? Let's go! β
Wen Xiang walked out of the small restaurant in a trance with the food box in her hand, and looked up at the big moon in the shape of a silver plate in the sky.
At this time, she no longer has the mood to sing poems and praise the moon affectionately, she originally thought that after selling her clothes, she could find a comfortable and safe inn to live in for a few days, but now, holding a purse that is more pitiful than her, Wen Xiang burst into tears.
What kind of inn do you still live in, live under the overpass.
By the way, is there a flyover in this realm?
Who would have thought that on the first day of her freedom, she would have to sleep on the flyover?
It's all to blame for Song Nanzhou's bastard thing, who actually ran away for her!
He had already said that he didn't have the money to pay, and she wouldn't order so many signature dishes from local tyrants!
Wouldn't it be nice to eat two bowls of noodles for two people!
"I thought he was a good man, but he turned out to be a huge hole!" She wanted to cry so much.
can only blame herself for being too naΓ―ve - Song Nanzhou didn't ask her to believe him, and second, she didn't agree to invite her to dinner, she just talked to herself.
But he is also responsible, he will not say it if he does not invite guests? He didn't have the silver and wouldn't have said it earlier? Now I left her here to escape the bill, and if she didn't have any money on her, she might not be able to leave this small restaurant tonight!
Thinking of almost falling into this fate, Wen Xiang sighed in annoyance, raised her foot and kicked out the pebbles on the ground as if angry.
In the dark corner of the wall, there was a sudden muffled grunt.
Wen Xiang's first thought was bad, she accidentally hurt someone, if the other party was too seriously injured, she would probably have to pay for the medical expenses! She subconsciously covered her money bag, should she run away with oil on the soles of her feet?
But soon she sensed that something was wrong, and the sound was familiar.
"Little brother of the prince!" Wen Xiang gritted her teeth and shouted, and threw herself towards the corner of the wall, "You evil spirit, you killed me!" β
Song Nanzhou saw her pounce on her with a hideous face, unconsciously took a step back, and said lightly with a forced smile: "What are you talking about, when did the master harm you?" β
Wen Xiang didn't bother to talk to him, put the food box at his feet, rushed over and grabbed his collar, and said viciously: "That meal just now cost me all my net worth, and now I have no money and no home, you are responsible!" β
She was small, and if she wanted to create a powerful momentum, she could only tiptoe to pull the tall Song Nanzhou towards her, so she tried her best to tiptoe.
And Song Nanzhou, who didn't expect her to make such a move, was pulled down by her defenselessly.
It all happened in a flash of lightningβ
She tiptoed up, he lowered his head, his two faces rapidly enlarged in their respective eyes, and the four soft lips were so close to each other.
β¦β¦
"Bah, ......," Wen Xiang wiped her lips vigorously in disgust.
Song Nanzhou's face was darker than this night, and he stared at Wen Xiang's undisguised dislike with heavy eyes: "If you want to dislike it, your master dislikes you, did you wipe your mouth after eating just now?" A mouthful of greasy, smoked master is about to vomit! β
Wen Xiang looked at him with a stool face, and sneered: "The prince doesn't have to worry that I will rely on you for this, but I was kissed by a dog, and I will be fine if I vomit and vomit." β
"You say you're a dog?" Song Nanzhou's eyes were burning, and he raised his hand to catch her, but he didn't know what to think, the hand stopped in mid-air and couldn't stretch out.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you more." Wen Xiang was disheartened, waved her hand, turned around and picked up her food box to leave.
A pitiful posture of "in the end, it's all her fault, she saw the wrong person".
Wen Xiang pursed her lips, but her big eyes that were originally disappointed and depressed in the darkness were shining at this time.
It was really unexpected that the action just now was too big, but the lips of the little brother of the prince were really soft and kissable!
When her lips were pressed against her, the thought came to her mind.
But when she came back to her senses, she soon knew that something was wrong - her actions could be regarded as frivolous, she underestimated the little brother of the prince, how could the little brother of the prince who held a grudge let her go easily? The only way to do this is to strike first.
She dislikes him first, and his anger will change from "she dares to despise me" to "she dares to dislike me", these two crimes seem to be the same, but they are actually very different!
Sure enough, the little brother of the prince was led by her nose hahaha!
The six coins of silver should be regarded as buying a kiss from the little brother of the prince.
She and he don't owe each other.
However, a kiss costs six dollars of silver, which is so expensive!
Song Nanzhou looked at Wen Xiang's depressed back, and the guilt that he hadn't felt for many years actually rose.
He gently pursed the corners of his mouth, and there seemed to be a soft and incredible touch on his lips, although it only stayed for a blink of an eye, but the full and fresh lips seemed to be soaked in the brilliance of the moonlight at that moment, making him ......
"Ahem." Song Nanzhou coughed lightly and stopped his thoughts, "Where do you stay at night?" β
He asked in what he thought was indifferent.
She is a girl, even if she is a goblin, this kind of thing, she suffers.
So Song Nanzhou, who felt that he had taken advantage, rarely felt a little guilty.
Wen Xiang raised her head at a forty-five degree angle and looked up at the starry sky, her eyes were bright and sad, "The sky and the earth are big, there is always a place for me." Shiziye, don't pass it over, and you will ...... in the future There is a period. β
Very good! This gloomy gesture, this lonely tone, this sincere goodbye, perfect!
Next, it was time for her to stride forward and flee the scene of the crime without looking back.
"Smack-"
Something fell from the sky and landed on the face at a forty-five degree angle, a little sticky, a little hot.
It's raining?
Wen Xiang raised her hand to wipe her face, and then, after discovering the truth of the matter, she stiffened.
It's raining, damn it, it's bird!
"Thief God, it's endless, isn't it? It's not enough for people to bully me, even the brutes won't let me go! What have I done to be immoral, you want to do this to me! Wen Xiang couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded God with her hands on her waist.
Song Nanzhou couldn't bear it anymore and laughed.
This hapless little goblin.
Seeing Wen Xiang jumping to his feet and scolding, his eyes were red with grief and indignation, he finally raised his feet and walked over, as if carrying a bag of potatoes, and easily carried her away: "I'm unlucky, what do you complain about." β
The warm frost was like an eggplant, wilting and speechless.
secretly opened his five fingers, and wanted to paste the bird feces on Song Nanzhou's clothes with bad intentions.
Song Nanzhou didn't look at her, but it was as if she had eyes behind her, "You dare to try it." β
Wen Xiang silently withdrew her hand.
β¦β¦
Prime Minister's Office.
Xu Shen sat behind the desk, Zhou Da stood in front of him, and told him every move after Wen Xiang left the house in every detail.
He looked as usual, but the slender fingers that landed on the table unconsciously clenched into fists.
Especially when she heard that Song Nanzhou appeared later to help her snatch back the money bag, the two also had dinner together, and when she heard that Song Nanzhou teased her, she spent six coins of silver at once, Xu Shen's eyes became deeper and deeper.
ββ¦β¦ After coming out of the restaurant, Song Shizi led the girl to the inn, and when the girl settled down, Song Shizi left. Zhou Da looked at Xu Shen's increasingly ugly face, but in the end he still concealed the unexpected scene.
He didn't know whether he was right or wrong to do this, but his intuition told him that if he told Xiangye about it, it would probably cause an uproar.
Hearing that Song Nanzhou had left the inn, Xu Shen's tense body relaxed slightly, "You should also pay more attention, don't let the young people get close to her again." β
Zhou Da hurriedly responded.
Xu Shen sat alone in the study, his outline blurred in the shadows created by the dim light, and his pursed lips showed a thin and stern appearance.
"Song Nanzhou."
Why did he appear? Why did he provoke her again and again?
"Xiangye, the old lady took someone to the lady's yard." While he was groaning, someone hurried in and said, "The old lady looks very angry. β
Xu Shen's eyelids didn't move, he took the scroll on the side casually, and said lightly: "Let her go." β
β¦β¦
Mrs. Xu led people into Liu's room in a menacing manner, and Liu had just come out of the small Buddha hall, and looked at Mrs. Xu in surprise and panic when she saw this.
"Mother, in the middle of the night, ...... you"
"It's rare for the old lady to come, so the slave will go and make tea for the old lady." The mother beside her smiled and said, "The old lady doesn't know, the old lady has to recite a Buddhist sutra for the old lady in the Buddhist hall every day at this time, praying for the Bodhisattva to bless the old lady with good health and everything." β
Old Madam Xu came angrily, and when she heard this, her anger naturally dispersed a little, "Really? β
Liu smiled softly, stepped forward and helped Mrs. Xu to sit down: "Mother doesn't lack anything, daughter-in-law thinks about it, and only does her filial piety on this." It's your birthday in a few days, and I don't know how the house is doing? β
In the past, she was in charge of these things, and after Xu Shen grounded her, the middle feed in the house was temporarily handed over to Mrs. Xu.
Old Madam Xu was lazy to take care of these things, and her current mind was not on this, so she said lightly: "It's just a birthday banquet, just do it casually like in previous years." β
"How does this work?" Liu hurriedly persuaded him: "In the past, the husband was walking on thin ice in the court, but now the husband has become the prime minister, and there is no need to be like in previous years." Besides, this is your whole life, and my husband told me before that you must do it beautifully. My mother's family heard that there are several school-age girls in our clan, so they sent me a letter to inquire. β
How could Old Madam Xu not hear the temptation in her words, what she said about the school-age girl in the Xu clan, in fact, it was Xu Wenxiang.
This is also a hint, reminding her that she can marry Xu Wenxiang, who is of the right age, by holding a birthday banquet.
"Haven't you heard about what happened in the house today?" Old Madam Xu asked in a deep voice.
Liu Shi looked dazed: "Something happened at home today?" The daughter-in-law has never heard of it, I don't know what happened at home? β
"You really don't know?" Old Madam Xu squinted slightly.
"Old lady, our lady has been in the small Buddha hall all day, and the slave maid has been with her, so she really doesn't know what happened in the house." Liu's eldest maid hurriedly stood up.
"Aren't you the one who went to the clan to deliver a letter and let the clan elders find you?" Old Madam Xu stared at Liu suspiciously.
Liu Shi was surprised at first, then lowered his head aggrievedly, took a handkerchief and pressed the corner of his eyes: "Mother's accusation, daughter-in-law dare not accept it - when did the daughter-in-law let people go to the clan to find the clan elders?" The daughter-in-law doesn't know anything about what is happening in the family these days, so how can she go to find the old man inexplicably? β
Seeing this, Mama Zhang hurriedly said: "Madam, the old lady found out that the maid who went out to deliver the letter was the third-class maid in your yard. β
Liu looked up in panic: "She admits that I instructed her?" β
Mama Zhang looked at Mrs. Xu, who pursed her lips, "That's not true, but she is serving in your yard after all." β
Liu Shi hurriedly got up and knelt down: "It's the daughter-in-law's unfavorable discipline that will happen like this." I just don't know, why did the maid go to the clan, and why did she bring the clan elders to the house? β
Old Madam Xu looked at her carefully and saw that she looked dazed and ignorant, as if she really didn't know what was happening in the house. Her expression softened slightly, although she was her daughter-in-law, she was not good at telling her that she was using Wen Xiang to hurt her to coerce Xu Shen to drive Wen Xiang away.
So he said lightly: "It's okay if you don't know, it's just a person in your own yard, but you have to take care of it." Forget it this time, and next time, I will not spare it. β
Liu hurriedly responded: "Yes, the daughter-in-law remembers her mother's teachings. β
"Get up." Mrs. Xu nodded and asked Mama Zhang to help Liu get up, "Something has happened in the house in the past two days, but it's not a big deal, but Sister Xiang'er's old illness has relapsed, and people have been moved out to raise it." β
Liu naturally wanted to make a surprised and sad appearance: "My sister is okay, right?" β
She originally wanted to borrow the hand of the clan elder to drive Xu Wenxiang out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she didn't expect her to run away first-which was beyond her expectations.
Old Madam Xu's heart was stuffed, and she didn't want to mention Wen Xiang at all, so she just nodded indiscriminately, "Although our family population is simple, there are a lot of things up and down, what are the words that are all pressed on me as an old woman?" From tomorrow onwards, you will still be in charge of the affairs of the house. β
Liu lowered his eyes, "Daughters-in-law listen to their mothers." β
Mrs. Xu came angrily and left calmly.
Liu sent her to the gate of the courtyard until he slowly turned back with the maid's hand.
"Where did Xu Wenxiang stay, did you find it?"
"At the Xiang'an Inn in the south of the city." The maid replied in a low voice: "Madame's expectation is good, Xiangye really sent Zhou Da and others to protect her all the way." β
"I'll go back to the room and write a letter, and you will have it delivered to my eldest brother overnight." The corners of Liu's lips hooked: "What is his idea, I really don't know?" I will definitely want him to have a bamboo basket to fetch water, and I don't want to live with that slut in this life! β
