Chapter 16: Broken

The most heartless words are not insults or complaints, but "official tones", applying high-sounding language of various righteousness and morality. Every word Bao Cheng said was polite and courteous, but Dong's heart was like this cold rain, soaking through his clothes, sticking to his skin, and being so cold that it went straight to his flesh and bones. She stood in the rain, droplets of water dripping down her face, shivering. Now that he has taken the first step and defected from home, the way back has become very long......

Sanniang, who has always been cold, seemed to understand Dong's feelings, she thought for a while and said: "If you don't care about household registration, it's better to attach it to the Xue family's name, are you willing?" ”

Compared with the various righteousness that Bao Cheng said, this simple sentence made Dong's dead face a little angry. Sanniang didn't make any sense, in fact, it didn't make sense for her to do this, she actually let a married woman be a slave?

But women just don't pay attention to morality, Dong nodded without hesitation: "Yes." ”

The two women sang and harmonized, and without two words, this matter would be considered a result, and Bao Cheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He pondered silently for a while, thinking that he didn't need to care...... But he suddenly thought of Dong's "ominous", if Xue Lang found out in the future, would he have prejudices against himself because of this?

Bao Cheng is different from other people in officialdom or barracks, most of the people in officialdom have their own complex relationships, he is new to the world, and he can enter the circle of power only because of Xue Lang's appreciation of him today, Xue Chongxun is the key to his life opportunities, and he can't make a difference.

"Sanniang, I have something I have to explain first...... Tell it first, and then don't mess ......" Bao Cheng said hesitantly, a man with a length of nine feet, and his face turned red.

Sanniang turned her head and looked at him with some confusion: "What? ”

Dong had already vaguely guessed what he was going to say, and she looked at him in a daze...... A familiar stranger, her face became bloodless, her teeth were clucking, I don't know if it was the cold body after the clothes were wet, or the cold.

Bao Cheng clenched his fists, finally raised his head and said calmly: "Die'er...... Not to be seen in her hometown, because she is ominous......" When he said the word "White Tiger", his voice was so small that it was faint, "You are the person next to Xue Lang, just say that you know Xue Lang." I, Bao, treat people with sincerity, and I can't harm people who have the grace of knowing things. ”

Sanniang was stunned for a moment, glanced at him with complicated eyes, and said coldly: "Okay, I will definitely return to Lang Jun truthfully." ”

At this moment, suddenly heard a "pop" sound, several people were slightly startled, and when they turned their heads to look, it was a tile on the eaves next to it that was washed down by the rain and fell to the ground and shattered.

Dong's voice was somehow a little hoarse: "Listen! It was the sound of something shattering. ”

Bao Cheng also felt a little guilty, and said with insufficient confidence: "Die'er, don't blame me, Xue Lang is willing to help you, you can't hide it from others, and people will stand with sincerity." ”

Dong's face was full of water, and he shook his head and retreated: "You don't need to say it, all the qiē is my own affection, it's me who thinks too much...... There's nothing wrong with you, it's all my own fault......" Her fingers curled together as she pretended during the day. Her legs were weak, and when she retreated, she accidentally kicked a stone, and fell to the ground suddenly, her hands instinctively pressed to the ground, and one hand was suddenly worn by the hard bluestone slab, and the blood was suddenly mixed with the rain.

Seeing this, Bao Cheng immediately went to help her, and she suddenly shouted, "Don't touch me!" Bao Cheng was taken aback by such a sudden roar, Dong's voice calmed down, and said coldly: "Men and women don't kiss, you stay away from me!" ”

Sanniang stepped forward, helped Dong up, and said lightly: "Since you are willing, then let's go." After that, he turned around and hugged his fists and said, "Farewell." ”

Bao Cheng saw that the two women were a little close, and squeaked a little uneasily: "I ......"

Sanniang sneered: "Bao Zhuangshi doesn't need to say much, I only take care of some private matters, and I have never been able to ask about Lang Jun's official affairs." Lang Jun explained, tomorrow you will be asked to go to the household department to do something, you must come if you promise. ”

The two guards next to him also said goodbye to Bao Cheng, so Sanniang took Dong and walked back.

After returning to Xingyuan, Sanniang first instructed a slave maid to prepare hot water and clothes, and then said to Dong: "You go with me to see Lang Jun first, he has to nod his head in this matter, and you will take a bath and change your clothes later." ”

I saw that this house is wide and deep, I don't know how deep it is, the corridor and the eaves are grandiose and magnificent, and even the windows in the most inconspicuous places have hollow patterns. Such a house is more elaborate than the rich man's mansion, Dong has never seen it, and there is an instinctive fear of the unfamiliar environment in his heart, and he is so nervous that he can't speak.

Originally, when she saw Xue Chongxun in sackcloth during the day, she didn't think this person was so intimidating, but when she came to the place where he lived, Dong felt that Xue Chongxun was like a god, and he was fundamentally different from ordinary people.

The status of a person is indeed embodied by many things outside the body.

She followed Sanniang, walked along the corridor, came to a door, and then followed Sanniang in. She lowered her head, not daring to look left and right, only to see the spotless wooden floor, which was immediately stained by the water stains on her body.

Turning a screen in a daze, there was a silk curtain hanging in the room, which was extremely luxurious, and the Dong family couldn't see anything around for a while, and didn't dare to look up at the people inside.

I only heard Sanniang say: "Lang Jun, I brought her back, but Bao Cheng was also ...... at that time"

A man's slightly deep voice said: "Why is it wet like this, go change your clothes first, don't catch the cold, and then talk about it later." ”

Just said such a sentence, Dong followed Sanniang out again, what etiquette and so on, she didn't think of it at all, and she couldn't figure out what to do.

Sanniang took her out, handed it to another woman, and after a few words, she was about to leave. Dong Shi was a little panicked and said, "Sanniang, how can I find you?" ”

The woman smiled and said, "My sister just came, I'm afraid of life." It's okay, there are only a few people in this inner courtyard, and everyone knows each other in two days. ”

Sanniang also gave a faint "um" and turned to leave. She returned to Xue Chongxun's room, and was about to talk about Bao Cheng, but unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun made an old mistake there again, walking around on the floor, ignoring Sanniang, and began to say something brainless.

Xue Chongxun sighed: "This person can't act all the time, no matter how he pretends to be, he will always show his feet." ”

Sanniang stood without speaking, and did not disturb his "Yaxing", nor did she bother to care what madness he had, just listen. Sometimes Sanniang feels that Xue Chongxun is not trying to let others understand, but just looking for a living person to talk nonsense.

When he was almost done alone, he sat down on the chair, glanced at Sanniang and said, "Yesterday, I met a few officials who were alternate to manage the warehouse, and I was thinking about it...... The person who was wet just now was Bao Cheng's wife (the title of husband and wife originated in the Tang Dynasty)? ”

Sanniang said: "It's Bao Cheng's fellow villager who ran out of home." ”

"Oh." Xue Chongxun suddenly smiled and said, "I just looked at Chu Chu's pitiful appearance, why is the scar on my face gone?" ”

"It's loaded, and I don't twist it." Sanniang said.

Xue Chongxun said: "What I just said makes sense, right? No matter how much this man pretends to be, he can't keep pretending. ”

Sanniang said: "Don't blame Lang Jun, I'm a little disgusted with others being reasonable now." ”

"Oh? Hehe......" Xue Chongxun laughed a little embarrassedly, but he was not angry, and continued, "Just now you said that Bao Cheng also found her, why didn't you let Bao Cheng take her back?" ”

Sanniang pondered for a moment, and said coldly: "Lang Jun, I don't think Bao Cheng is very reliable, are you going to use him as a general colonel for Cao Yun's recruitment?" ”

"How is it unreliable?" Xue Chongxun said with a heavy face, "He has no other way, only rely on me; And indeed there is power. These two points are enough. Sanniang, there are no eternal friends in the world, maybe one day you will turn against me. ”

Sanniang's face showed a painful expression, and she opened her mouth but didn't say anything. After a long time, he asked a little inexplicably: "Will Lang Jun give up because of some kind of fate?" Like what...... One day someone said I was ominous. ”

"Life?" Xue Chongxun was stunned and said, "I don't believe in fate, my life should be in my own hands!" ”

"Is that true?"

Xue Chongxun said without hesitation: "Seriously." Do you believe it? ”

Sanniang rarely showed a smile: "Believe, as long as Lang Jun doesn't curse and swear, I will believe it." ”

Xue Chongxun slapped the table and couldn't help but smile: "I know what you're laughing at, the officials we met yesterday, one of them surnamed Yang, always said that he was not raised by his father and mother...... What did he say, oh yes: cough, if I had half a lie, I wouldn't have been raised by my father's mother. He was in a better mood because he remembered something funny, and he even imitated the man's tone.

"Then Yang Gong's words really can't be believed, why does he keep saying that, it must be that he usually lies too much, and he always arouses suspicion, so he can only curse and swear, and it will become a habitual mantra after a long time." Xue Chongxun smiled, "This person is really interesting. ”

There was a strange smile on the corner of Sanniang's mouth, "Didn't Lang Jun look for a good family last time?" The little lady was sent over to sleep just now, does Lang Jun still like it? ”

Xue Chongxun glared and said: "Why am I looking for it, it is obviously the unauthorized assertion of the Lu Thorn Shi of Ruzhou." ”

Sanniang said coldly: "I heard it clearly that night, didn't Lang Jun say that 'game' was better than official prostitutes, so the official would do this?" Just now, the little lady's surname was Dong, and the township thought she was unlucky, so she ran out, and Bao Cheng also thought she was unlucky, so she wanted to send her back...... Lang Jun doesn't believe in fate? I brought it back, and if Lang Jun didn't like it, he would ask someone to send him home. ”

Xue Chongxun's mind remembered the little lady he saw just now, she looked pretty good, and it was really different from the goods in the official kiln...... The night was long, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
