Chapter 11 Where to go
In the previous month, she basically received a letter from Dongsheng every seven days, this month, she held the letter she had just received in her hand, and felt a little uneasy, half of the month had passed, and the handwriting was not his, it was written by someone else.
Changyang's days are wet, the rain has hardly stopped, Wusu casually took a long hair pick, stretched out along the windowsill, there is a pair of gently knocked on the round green leaves outside, because of the rain in the middle of the leaves, a large pool of water gathered in the heart of the leaf for a while, she pressed on the side, let the water flow out, played for a while and felt really boring, so she threw the pick, stared out of the window in a daze.
Suddenly, Duo'er hurried over, she didn't bring an umbrella, her body was almost wet, "Duo'er, why don't you bring an umbrella?" ”
Duo'er heard her voice and glanced at her from the window, and ran back, "Girl, just now the shopkeeper of Yongcai Pharmacy sent Pei Lan here, because it was a bit much, I'll go over and take a look." ”
Wu Su sighed in surprise, "He just asked someone to send it casually, why did he come here by himself, he was not too tired on this rainy day." ”
Duo'er had already run into the room, frowning and shaking the rain on her body, "Girl, do you want to take a look, the sleepy shopkeeper sent a few bags of Peilan, who is still in the living room, and has no intention of leaving." ”
Wusu was a little speechless, "How many * bags?" What is he going to do? After thinking about it, something was wrong, "Does the old lady know about the movement?" Duo'er, don't squeeze it, go and change your clothes, beware of catching a cold. ”
When she thought of the old lady, her head was bigger, and now there was a messy shopkeeper, and she felt a little unwilling to face the world.
After waiting for a while, Duo'er had already changed into clean clothes and came over, she took her silver taels and was ready to pay, "Duo'er, let's go to the living room to have a look, you look for the umbrella, the rain is a little heavy, eh...... Duo'er, the old lady isn't in the living room, is she? ”
"Girl, Zhicui seems to have gone to tell the old lady about the living room, but the rain is heavy, I think the old lady won't come, this shopkeeper is really annoying, hey!" She said as she held her umbrella and puffed.
Approaching the living room, she could hear the shopkeeper commenting on the things in the house, she rolled her eyes, and walked directly to the living room, "Why is the shopkeeper here, just call a delivery brother to deliver it?" She didn't want to deal with him slowly, she just wanted to send him away quickly.
The name of the sleepy shopkeeper is Sleepy Golden Ginseng, she laughed for a long time when she first heard this name, although the name of Sleepy Golden Ginseng sounds a little flattering, but it has a good skin, but compared to his person, no matter how good the skin is, it also makes people not have a good feeling, typical selfishness, nonsense, and people who beat snakes and sticks.
Hearing Wusu's voice, he turned his gaze away from a piece of porcelain in the room, and was very interested, "Miss Wusu, the things that the people in the General's Mansion want are naturally very expensive, and I don't worry about those delivery men." He didn't seem to feel Wusu's impatience and alienation at all, and said to himself, "Thinking that the girl said that he wanted more, he sent two bags to the girl, I don't know if the girl is enough?" As long as he doesn't smile, he still looks like a gentleman, but when he speaks, the atmosphere of the philistine is so thick that people are speechless.
"Two bags?" Wu Su's eyelids jumped, and he resisted the urge to scold, "The sleepy shopkeeper said that it was two sacks, right?" ”
"Hehe, yes, I just don't know if the girl thinks it's enough? If it's not enough, I'll send someone to send it again. The tone sounded righteous and awe-inspiring.
Wusu was too lazy to talk nonsense, "Enough is enough, I will give the amount of money first, and besides, this rain is heavy, it is better for the shopkeeper to go back earlier, after all, I am not the master of this general's mansion, I am afraid that I will not be a good person after staying for a long time, and the shopkeeper will not be comfortable." ”
Sleepy Jin Ginseng couldn't see half of the embarrassment in his shrewd eyes, and his cheekiness was so thick that Wu Su was amazed, and he also said generously that he didn't mind, "The girl doesn't have to worry about money and silver, our pharmacy has always kept accounts directly when sending medicine to the house, and the girl is the general's honored guest, and there is no reason to ask the girl for money." ”
Wu Su had heard of his bad deeds before, and he didn't have much good impression when he met today, but he didn't feel too difficult to deal with, she was already sleepy and tired, and she didn't want to continue to be polite at the moment, "The shopkeeper put the medicinal materials directly here, and Wu Su thanked the shopkeeper for a trip in person, but his health has not been good recently, I'm afraid I have to leave first, I hope the shopkeeper will forgive me." After she finished speaking, she bowed and left, walking by the door, when she suddenly heard an uncertain voice, "Usu? ”
She turned her head to look at the source of the voice, the sleepy golden ginseng was still in the position when she left the living room just now, she frowned slightly, "Shopkeeper?" ”
Sleepy Jin Shen suddenly laughed, just made a gesture, and said with a smile, "Girl, go slowly." ”
Wu Su felt a little strange, but he couldn't think of it for a while, so he could only continue to walk away, but he felt that the gaze behind him kept sticking to his body, which made people feel bored for no reason.
On the way back to the room, I saw Zhi Cui and a few maids coming over from a distance, Zhi Cui was polite, bowed to her, and Wu Su hurriedly told her to get up.
Her voice was gentle and kind, and her face was full of smiles, "The maid greets Miss Wusu, and the old lady invites Miss Wusu to go to Chengxin Courtyard." ”
Wu Su smiled, but he was extremely reluctant in his heart, but he was more apprehensive, this old lady heard that she was a powerful character, and she should also be a very calm person. It stands to reason that she has changed to other houses, and she, a person of unknown origin, is close to her son, as a mother, she should at least show a little majesty and deterrence, after all, she is not a very gentle and amiable person. Over the years, she has paid very little attention to Wusu, no matter what happened in her courtyard, the old lady was like a deaf and dumb person, and never asked, because in this way, Wusu was happy and frightened, afraid that she would have a sudden attack and that she was unprepared.
And this time...... She didn't want to think about it, but asked with a smile, "Sister Zhicui, do you know why the old lady called me?" ”
Zhicui slightly sideways to let her go forward, took the umbrella in Duo'er's hand to support her, although her face was full of tenderness, but it did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
She doesn't force it, for Zhi Cui, in fact, she feels guilty, Zhi Cui is full of heart on the general, and she is also beautiful, tolerant and kind, if she doesn't intervene, although the general will not marry her as a wife, it is said that relying on the old lady, she should have been a considerate concubine by the general's side.
"The road is slippery on a rainy day, the girl carefully walks the road, and the old lady will know when she goes to the girl." Botan-Extract lifted the skirt on her right for her, and did not answer Usu's words directly.
"Well, thank you, sister." She didn't say much anymore, a little embarrassed along the way, but everyone else seemed to look as usual.
Chengxin Courtyard arrived soon, and a few maids were waiting at the gate of the courtyard early, collecting umbrellas for them, and asking if they were wet, Wu Su smiled and shook his head. The maid didn't ask anymore, but turned around and asked Zhi Cui with concern, "Sister Zhi Cui's clothes are a little wet, go back to the room to change clothes first, right?" ”
Zhicui handed her the umbrella, straightened the hairpin on Wusu's head, and said with a smile, "I'm not in the way, it's just a little wet, you go back to the old lady, and say that Miss Wusu has arrived." ”
Before the maid could go in, a small guy ran out, "Sister Zhicui? The old lady told her to bring the girl in directly. ”
Botani stopped what he was doing and replied with a smile, "Okay." ”
Wusu has been silently looking at everything around, as well as Zhicui, obviously this Chengxin Courtyard, Zhicui is very prestigious, a little deflated in his heart, there is Zhicui in front, I'm afraid she is a fairy daughter, in front of the old lady, there will be Zhicui's preconceived notions, she followed Zhicui into the inner courtyard, anyway, at most, this old lady doesn't like herself, thinking like this, she is relieved, and her anxiety has calmed down a lot.
Zhicui walked in front, and before she could see the old lady, Zhicui's soft voice sounded in her ears again, "Old lady, Miss Wusu has arrived." She threw away Wusu's hand, walked gently and quickly to the old lady, and took the teacup she was drinking in her hand, and then both eyes were on Wusu.
As soon as Wusu came in, he bowed down and said goodbye, and stood silently aside at the moment, without saying much.
The old lady's face looked quite calm, and she put her hand down on the page of a book on the right case, "How long has the girl been here this time?" "The voice is not inaudible.
Wu Su carefully considered and said, "Old lady, it should be about three months," she met the old lady's gaze, and there was a smile on her face, "I have always said that I came to say goodbye to the old lady, but I heard that the old lady is happy and quiet by nature, so I don't dare to disturb rashly, and I hope that the old lady will atone for her sins." ”
The old lady's dress does not seem too oppressive, but the clothes all over her body are plain, and from a distance, it makes people feel a little amiable, but if you look at her eyes, you will feel that your feelings are almost wrong. Wusu doesn't want to be close to half a point in her heart, a person who can't be close to her own son, she doesn't have that confidence. Moreover, in a sense, she is a real weak chicken in handling interpersonal relationships.
"What has the girl been up to lately?" She didn't seem to care what Usu answered, and only picked out a few random questions to ask her.
"I have nothing to do on weekdays, and occasionally read a few books." She lowered her eyebrows. I just want to get back to my yard as soon as possible.
"Miss Wusu, the second girl of the Prime Minister's Mansion is the same age as the girl, with excellent appearance and outstanding conduct, she and Sheng'er have also known each other since childhood, the two are childhood sweethearts, I think, Sheng'er is also old, and it is time to start a family, so I am ready to return triumphantly this time, and I will choose a day to marry them." She took the hot tea, blew lightly, and said unhurriedly.
Wu Su didn't have too many fluctuations in her heart, the old lady probably thought that these things could stimulate her, but she smiled slightly, "Old lady, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the general are a good match, Wu Su is here to congratulate the general's mansion on its great joy." ”
The old lady put down the teacup again, "What do you mean by this, girl?" Her eyes were full of indifference, and she raised her eyebrows after hearing Wusu's words.
"Wusu will only stay for half a year when he comes this time, and the general has known this for a long time, and it will not hinder the general's good fate." She doesn't actually feel pain in her heart, although she loves, but because she knows the result early on, she doesn't feel it in her heart. She only needs to help Dongsheng survive this catastrophe, and in the future, he will have a smooth life and perfect happiness, she will have no complaints at all, in this world, nine times out of ten, she can be free and easy.
