Chapter 44 Support
Wen Zhesang stood outside the winter snow gate, occasionally sounding one or two cicadas in his ears, and the noisy frog sound in the ridge of the field made people upset, and he didn't know why those little things had so much energy.
"Dongxue, I have something to say to you." Wen Zhesang knocked on the door, and then heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the room, as well as the sound of panicked footsteps.
However, Dongxue didn't open the door yet, and her voice sounded a little dull through the door panel, "Big, my lord, I've already fallen asleep, can you talk about it tomorrow?" ”
Wen Zhesang heard her strange voice, and then thought that she went to bring hot water to Shui Yanwei half an hour later, and she didn't return until she came. You know, there was enough time for her to run seven or eight times, but she also met her halfway back to the room at that time, and then met Xie Yikou, and she didn't know anything about what happened next.
She wasn't worried that Shui Yanwei would bully Dongxue, but the summer solstice was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Winter snow, come out." Wen Zhisang called her patiently, "What can't you tell me, do you have to hide and cry by yourself?" ”
"I ...... I ......" Dong Xue let out a little sobbing before she opened her mouth, she simply broke the jar and opened the door for Wen Zhesang.
Under the moonlight, Wen Zhesang could only see five finger prints on one of her cheeks, and the marks were already bruised, which showed that the person who did it was ruthless.
Wen Zhesang frowned, pushed the door in: "Go in and talk." ”
Dongxue kept her head down and followed her, until Wen Zhesang picked the wick, she didn't speak: "Adults, let's rest early, I don't care, it's a big deal that I won't go out for a few days, and I will never let adults lose face." ”
"You think I came in the middle of the night to see my face?" Under the candlelight, Wen Zhesang could see more clearly, and her eyes were even colder, "Who hit it?" ”
Wen Zhesang was cautious after he recognized that he had arrived in Qingfeng County, and he had never made a wrong step, and the people in the yamen had been selected layer by layer, and those who stayed would not dare to act recklessly. didn't expect Dongxue to call someone to beat her right under her nose, not to mention that Dongxue didn't make a mistake, that is, she made a mistake, and it should be taught by her personally, when will it be the turn of others to do it?
Dongxue looked at her with unkind eyes, and then thought about the things in this yamen, as long as adults wanted to know, there was nothing they didn't know, but ...... She bit her lip and told the story.
It turned out that when she sent hot water to Shui Yanwei tonight, she picked and chose on the summer solstice, either because the water was cold or hot. There is no well in the guest house, no matter how cold it is, you have to go to the back kitchen to redeem it, the time is late at night, and the winter snow is also very tired, not to mention this back and forth, the winter snow is tossed to the fire. However, Xia Zhi relied on Shui Yanwei and commanded her, and made nonsense several times.
Finally, Dongxue lost his patience and threw a basin directly in the guest room. Who knows how the two of them quarreled before, Shui Yanwei, who didn't wake up before, was woken up at this time. The summer solstice took the opportunity to attack and wanted to teach Dongxue the "rules", although Dongxue hated it very much, but he didn't dare to disobey Shui Yanwei, so he was really slapped.
Xia Zhi also has bad intentions, so he picks one side of the face and beats him, and after the fight, he asks Shui Yanwei for credit.
At this time, the wind was a little strong, Wen Zhesang got up and closed the window, and asked her, "Did Yanwei say anything?" ”
Dongxue hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Shui said that I followed the adults anyway and let the summer solstice ...... Somewhat measured. In fact, she was very suspicious that Miss Shui's words were adding fuel to the fire.
"It's only been half a year...... Wen Zhisang lowered her eyes and murmured softly, but she didn't want to treat Shui Yanwei as a person with deep thoughts.
"I'll do you justice for this." She said to Dongxue.
Dongxue's eyes were red, and after thinking for a long time, she hesitated and said, "Actually...... Don't adults think that Miss Water has changed a lot? ”
Wen Zhesang was stunned for a moment, "Just after Mrs. Shui's three-year filial piety period, Lord Shui plans to marry Yanwei...... That's about a little bit different because of this. ”
But this reason is too far-fetched.
She pressed her eyebrows, and when she went out, she was going to find someone, and she didn't forget to quip: "You have to find a doctor to take a look at your face, if you have a scar that makes Song Hanshu dislike it, where can I go to find him a winter snow like flowers and jade?" ”
"Don't make fun of me, sir." Dongxue wanted to smile bitterly but was injured, and couldn't help grinning in pain.
It was too late at this time, and the doctor didn't find it, but Xie Yikou contributed a bottle of wound medicine after knowing about it, so that Dong Xuejiang could use it.
The guards of the Water Mansion packed their bags early in the morning and prepared to embark on the return journey, and as soon as Wen Zhesang lowered his head and took a sip of tea, he heard the neighing of the horses, which almost resounded in the sky.
"You had a hangover last night, do you have a headache today?" She looked sideways at Shui Yanwei.
There was nothing to do today, Wen Zhesang found the guest house early in the morning, Shui Yanwei hadn't woken up when she arrived, and she didn't let Xia Solstice disturb her, so she made tea by herself.
As soon as Shui Yanwei opened her eyes, she saw Wen Zhesang sitting not far away, she felt a little strange in her heart, but she still said: "Let Sister Wen bother, I don't feel uncomfortable today, I think it was my sister who asked someone to send a sobering soup." It's a pity that I didn't remember when I was drunk, and when I woke up today, I only remembered that the moon was big and round last night, and I could see it more clearly than when I went to Beijing. ”
Xia Zhi was busy coming forward to serve, and after listening to the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but interject: "Miss didn't sleep well last night, Miss Wen and my young lady are friends, so you should know that Miss Jin is expensive, and someone needs to be waiting for her all the time." Hmph, just last night, there was no one under the skin, there was a hot water delivery, I don't know whether it is hot or cold, so my young lady has been using hot water for a long time. ”
"Summer solstice!" Shui Yanwei scolded her in a low voice, "You're talking nonsense again." The officials in the yamen are all trying to maintain the peace of one side, so how can they come to serve people? I'm not a golden branch either, it's enough for you to serve alone. ”
Xia Zhi pursed his lips, not afraid at all, "Miss, you are the young lady from the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, that is, in Shangjing, there are a few girls who dare to compare with you, even if it is Wen ...... You're here to enjoy it! ”
Shui Yanwei frowned and disagreed with her very much.
Wen Zhesang took another sip of tea, and his smile was a little cold: "The moon in the sky is one, what difference can there be?" But this person is divided into three, six, nine and so on. You are different from your young lady, you are different from me, and even you are different from Dongxue. ”
Shui Yanwei looked dazed and wondered: "I wanted to ask for a long time, my sister came early this morning, could it be that something happened?" ”
Wen Zhesang ignored her, and only asked Xia Zhi: "Do you think I'm right?" ”
"Miss Wen and Miss Wen naturally say whatever they say, but the slave doesn't understand it at all." Xia Zhi was facing away from Shui Yanwei, and she didn't notice the uncertainty in her eyes.
"You say." Wen Zhesang was content.
Xia Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "The slave maid and Dong Xue are both subordinates, why does Miss Wen say that we are different?" Could it be that Miss Wen is so biased towards a subordinate that she can be the master of Shangshu Mansion? ”
"Summer solstice! You're so presumptuous! Shui Yanwei had a cold face.
"Yanwei, it's a good thing to be able to speak." Wen Zhesang glanced at Xia Zhi, and then smiled, "The biggest difference between you and Dong Xue is that she has someone to support her, and you don't." ”
Shui Yanwei stared at her in disbelief, for a long time, she got up and slapped Xia Zhi, with anger on her face: "You tell clearly, what happened last night that made Sister Wen so angry?" ”
"Slaves, slaves and maids have done nothing!" Xia Zhi covered her face with tears rolling in her eyes, she said, "It's just that Dongxue's girl can't serve people, the slave and maid taught her a lesson, and the slave and maid are also in order to serve a good lady!" Let alone...... What's more, Miss didn't stop the slave last night, and the slave thought it was ......"
Shui Yanwei was angry at this time, her throat was dry and itchy, she couldn't stop coughing, and scolded: "You are really dizzy!" I don't know anything when I'm drunk, so how can you listen to what I say? Dongxue is the person next to Sister Wen, how much face do you have to teach her? You go and make amends to Dongxue today, now! ”
There was such a big commotion early in the morning, but fortunately, the guest house was quiet, and there would be no idlers except for the patrols. But at this time, Shui Yanwei clearly saw a tender green skirt flashing at the door. She was puzzled, but she was angry for a while, and she didn't care so much.
Xia Zhi, who was about to cry, heard this, his face distorted, and he quietly glanced at Wen Zhesang, and found an excuse on his mouth: "Yes, the slave knows that she is wrong, but Miss can't have no one around to serve her, and when the slave and maid are empty, she will go to Dongxue...... Make amends. She bit down on the last two words, as if she was going to chew someone together.
"I'm so good-handed, so I need you to watch all the time? I think you're just trying to push back, if you, if you don't go......" A cup of hot tea was held up in front of Shui Yanwei by a slender and smooth hand, she looked up at Wen Zhesang's unfazed eyes, she took the teacup, took a deep breath and pulled out a wry smile embarrassedly. "This early morning made my sister smile."
At this time, she was not dressed neatly, she had not washed, and the sickly blush on her cheeks had not faded, and she really had nothing to do with the gentle and virtuous lady.
Wen Zhesang chuckled at her and comforted: "Your alcohol consumption has always been bad, and you used to talk nonsense when you were drunk, and I didn't take it seriously." I didn't expect that this girl of yours would use your drunken words as a shield, and it is not once or twice that I think about it. I remember that the rules in your house have always been strict, how can you ......?"
She didn't say the rest of the words, but Xia Zhi's face was pale and she looked frightened.
Shui Yanwei also smiled back, and the tense atmosphere seemed to disappear. She said, "I don't dare not want the people given by my wife." "Her mother-in-law has passed away, and the current Mrs. Shui was only corrected not long ago.
"Miss forgiveness!" Xia Zhi knelt down without hesitation, kowtowed to Wen Zhesang and said, "Miss Wen forgive me, the slave maid was just a ghost last night, and when she saw that there was no one in the yamen to serve her, she was dissatisfied with Miss, so she was looking for trouble with Dongxue." Miss, the slave has already known that she is wrong, so you can spare the slave and maid this time! ”
Wen Zhesang had already sat back at this time, and he didn't mean to interfere at all. Seeing this, Shui Yanwei also extinguished the idea of interceding for Xia Zhi, after all, if Wen Zhisang could be so annoyed, this matter must not be calmed down.
But Shui Yanwei pondered for a moment, unable to say anything, and in the end, she looked at Wen Zhisang's soft side face and said, "After all, Xia Zhi is a mistake made in the yamen, and how to deal with it is up to Sister Wen." ”
