Chapter 11: The Tragic Journey of the Second Lady
Yue Kang took Wang Fu to wander around the bustling street at will, his steps were light. The brilliant sunlight spreads between the green tiles and red walls everywhere, the protruding cornices, the high fluttering shop signboard flags, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the smiling faces that are just faint and comfortable, all of which reflect the self-satisfaction of the people of the Tianqian Dynasty for the prosperous era.
The traffic is busy, and the door is full of people. The sound of buying and selling, shouting, and bargaining on the street...... Together; In the hotel, Xiao Er shuttled quickly with wine and food, and from time to time there was the sound of guessing boxing, talking and laughing, and the sound of wine cups colliding......
Basking in the sun and watching the ancient streets of Yuekang is extremely pleasing to the eye, if in the previous world, most people did not have such leisure.
Although I have seen a lot of ancient buildings on TV, you will feel the people and relatives of that era when you are in them.
Many of the things on both sides of the street were things that Yue Kang had not seen before, and Wang Fu next to him would be happy to help introduce them.
"Uncle, look at another beautiful woman over there." Wang Fu leaned close to Yue Kang's ear and said shyly.
Yue Kang pretended to be angry, "Wang Fu, I am already a family person, what beauty is not beautiful, the pink skeleton knows?" No matter how beautiful the death is, it will eventually turn into a cup of dust. Yue Kang said that he was sanctimonious, but his eyes involuntarily turned to the beautiful women who came over.
Wang Fu said that Shanshan smiled, "Yes, what my uncle said is right, it's all a cup of dust." He didn't dare to say that he didn't know who it was, and his eyes had never left the woman at the gate of the Bai family, and he was staring at the sensitive parts of others.
It's really not small, I guess I can't hold it with one hand, and my ass is so warped, doesn't it make people guilty, I really don't know how ancient people developed so well.
Yue Kang said in his heart, women in ancient times would not wear thick clothes, like the panda eyes of the previous era, white-faced lang, and chicken blood red You can see it here, all of them are pure and like flowers.
Of course, you might as well look at the slender and colorful from behind, and when you look back, you can see the kind of ugly girl who has thousands of mountains and birds flying away, and thousands of people have disappeared, throwing flattering eyes at Yue Kang, causing the latter to break out in a cold sweat, and busy pulling Wang Fu away.
"Wang Fu, you have been in the Bai family for so long, do you know what kind of person the second miss is?" Yue Kang asked.
Wang Fu couldn't figure out why his uncle asked like this, he didn't understand in his heart, didn't his uncle know about the second miss? So how did you get married? Although there are many questions, Wang Fu doesn't think about it, he only knows that his uncle saved him, he wants to serve his uncle well, and he will never ask what a subordinate shouldn't ask, this is his experience in the Bai family for many years.
"The little one has no knowledge, very earthy to say that the second miss is a good person, the second miss is not only beautiful but also talented, poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting there is no one she is not proficient in, and is known as one of the eight talented women in Hangzhou."
"The second lady actually has a very hard life, when she was seventeen years old, she took on the burden of the Bai family, the old man suddenly disappeared and the Bai family fell into chaos for a while, the old lady was old and wanted to maintain the family and had no energy, the eldest lady was still far away in the capital to study, and the third lady was young, so all the burden was on the second miss, since then we have rarely seen the second miss stay in the Bai family, and the adult is running around, the second miss must have suffered a lot, but she didn't say it."
"That time the second miss came back from outside, the clothes were messy, and the shoes on the feet were also lost, which was embarrassing and sad, and later we learned that the second miss went to the capital to send ceramics when she met a robber, not only robbed the goods, the group of robbers also coveted the beauty of the second miss, and wanted to take the second miss to the mountain to be the lady of the village, the second miss swore to resist to the death and finally escaped back."
"The second miss has been lonely and tired for this family, in fact, it is quite pitiful, if the master is here, why should the second miss become a storm, we eat other people's food, live in other people's houses, and feel uncomfortable, the second miss is actually very pitiful." Wang Fu was a little sad when he talked about the second miss, which was the most simple emotion.
Yue Kang also sighed and continued to ask, "What's the matter with the second young lady's face?" ”
"The second lady's face was burned by the fire, I still remember that night I just took off my clothes and was ready to sleep, I heard someone shouting about the fire, I hurriedly put on my clothes and rushed over, and when I arrived, the second miss's room was already on fire, we all hurried to put out the fire, but the fire was too big, I couldn't extinguish it no matter how I watered, and in the end it was Xia Wei, Xia Yu rescued the second lady from the room."
"At that time, we were all wondering how the second lady's room could catch fire, and even if it was on fire, it shouldn't be such a big fire all at once, someone saw that the second lady's house was burning all at once, and it was reasonable to say that if the second lady accidentally knocked over the oil lamp, it wouldn't be so big of the smell of oil and water, and it was very strong, we all guessed whether someone deliberately set the fire, but we just guessed that there was no evidence, at this time, there was no way to investigate without a head and tail, and finally the government was involved, and nothing was found."
"The second lady's face was burned that night, and the second lady has been staying in the room for a few years and rarely comes out, and it is quite difficult for the old lady to let the eldest lady come back and carry the burden of the family."
"Sometimes we think how nice it would be if the Bai family had a man! Now I don't deliberately mention the second miss, the Bai family has forgotten that there is a second miss who once looked like a fairy and captivated the country, and the suitors of the second miss three years ago were definitely like fish crossing the river, and there are countless people. ”
Wang Fu's honesty in the Bai family does not mean that he is stupid or stupid, on the contrary, he is a smart person, he knows that it is better to be honest as a subordinate, and Yue Kang values him.
Yue Kang's deputy manager of the personnel department is not in vain, he has read countless people and valued Wang Fu, an honest and shrewd subordinate at a glance.
"Wang Fu, then you say that the scar on the second miss's face can be healed?" Yue Kang thought of a key question and asked.
"This doesn't seem to be possible, it is said that the second lady's face was burned very badly, and the old lady asked many Lang Zhong to treat it after that." Wang Fu replied.
"Oh." Yue Kang was thinking in his heart, if the scars on the face of the previous world were well healed, but I don't know what kind of medical skills in this era have reached, is there really no such thing as a foreign master similar to Hua Tuo's divine doctor in this era, Yue Kang made up his mind to cure the face of the second miss, no matter what the cost, not to mention whether the second miss was disfigured or not, the second miss was his nominal wife of someone Yue, and he had to cure her at all costs.
After walking around the street for a long time, Wang Fu asked, "Uncle, seeing noon, should we go back to eat or eat outside?" ”
Yue Kang felt a little hungry in his stomach, "Let's eat outside, I told the second lady when I came out, I might not go back to eat at noon." ”
"It just so happens that my uncle is not far further away, it is a restaurant run by our Bai family, let's go there to eat!" Wang Fu pointed ahead and said.
After Yue Kang agreed, he took Wang Fu to the restaurant.
The restaurant is three floors high, the carved eaves reflect the words, the painting building is flying clouds, the whole restaurant is mainly red and green, the light is bright and bright. Two strings of red lanterns, moving with the wind.
There is a three-foot-long plaque hanging at the door of the restaurant, which reads, "Sifang Restaurant" font iron and silver hook, magnificent, Wang Fu told Yue Kang that this is written by Master Bai himself when he was there.
Although the plaque is a little faded, it can't hide the light between the words, which reminds people of a word pride.
Two strings of big red lanterns were hung at the door, moving with the wind.
Before entering the restaurant, a energetic shopkeeper greeted him with a towel on his shoulder, "Two sons, please inside." ”
