Chapter 1 The Lady Gentleman
The winter in Youzhou is particularly cold, at this time the heavy snow is a little misty, at a glance, the white expanse, which makes people feel cold and lonely.
In the early morning, there are few pedestrians on West Fourth Street, all wrapped in thick winter clothes, and their steps are either urgent or slow.
There was a man on the side of the street holding a steaming vegetable porridge in one hand and a bun in the other;
Someone's lady, carrying a basket, bargained with the stall owner in a soft voice, compared with the fierce aunt on the side, it was too eye-catching.
"Hey, Du family lady, do you know that the girl has smashed a green building again!"
The stout aunt bumped the lady on the side with her elbow.
"I know it, who doesn't know about this Youzhou?"
The bland-looking woman took a turnip and put it in the basket, pouted and said, "I have never seen such a shameless woman as her." ”
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
The girl raised her eyebrows and said, "No, she just has a good-looking face, what's the use!" It's useless! ”
The lady of the Du family was silent, and the aunt said to herself: "Isn't it just that there is a father who is an official to support her, I see her..."
"Aunt Wang, take your time, I'll go first."
The lady of the Du family glanced at the aunt, handed some copper coins to the stall owner, and then walked forward with the basket.
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment before she reacted, looked at the figure of the Du family's lady, and muttered disdainfully, "It's just a little widow, who keeps herself high all day long, and laughs to death." ”
He turned his head to look at the vegetable vendor again, and shouted loudly: "Ouch little plum, you have less, everyone is a neighbor, you look less..."
There is still snow piled up on the green tiles and white walls, and clusters of white snow are pressed on the branches, and a cold wind blows from time to time, and snow falls one after another.
There is a dragon burning in the house, and the incense burner is burning with a faint fragrance of plum, which makes people drowsy.
There was a young girl sitting by the window, holding a biography in her hand, and she was looking at it carefully.
A maid opened the beaded curtain and walked in, and the beaded curtain fell, clanging.
"Miss, the master has returned home, let you go to the main house now."
The maid stood in front of the girl with her hands in front of her belly, looking respectful.
The girl who was reading put down the book and raised her head when she heard the sound, but she gasped.
The girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was in the prime of her cardamom years.
Looking at its appearance, the face is like a peach blossom, the skin is like clotted fat, the head of the mantis is like a moth eyebrow, and the collar is like a grub.
There is a bit of childishness between the eyebrows, but there is a bit of heroism and pride.
It's really a wonderful person with a logo.
This is the daughter of Youzhou Jiedu, Wen Shijiao, and also the famous female gentleman of Youzhou, and the title of the first beauty in Youzhou.
The girl lowered her head and opened the book again, and opened her mouth lightly: "Who are they?" ”
Yu Dai pondered for a moment, and then said, "There should be people in every courtyard." ”
The girl snorted, and said no more.
Yu Dai pursed her lips, and when she saw her like this, she was a little anxious, so she cautiously said, "Master asked Miss to go to the main house now..."
For fear of provoking the girl.
After a while, the girl put the book on the table, stood up, and made a gesture to go out.
Seeing her faint expression, Yu Dai sighed in her heart, and hurriedly followed, "Miss can you make up?" ”
"No."
As soon as they reached the outside of the main house, they heard laughter from inside the house.
"Grandmother~ Look at it, this is my handwriting, I've been practicing for a long time!" The girl's delicate voice came out.
"Come, I'll see, ouch, my good grandson! It's really well written, so good! ”
The old woman's voice was tinged with joy.
Wen Shijiao's eyes moved, her footsteps didn't stop, and she stepped over the threshold and walked in.
As soon as she entered, the laughter in the room came to an abrupt end.
Wen Shijiao found a seat and sat down without saying a word.
The people in the room had different thoughts, and Liu, who was sitting above, looked at Wen Shijiao with half-squinted eyes and a displeased face.
"Third sister, why don't you ask how your grandmother is doing?"
The woman in the vertical collar red plum fur trimmed satin jacket looked at Wen Shijiao, this is the eldest daughter of the Wen family, Wen Rujing.
When Wen Shijiao heard this, she sneered, cocked her legs, clasped her hands on her chest, swept her lazy gaze, and finally landed on Liu, who had a black face, tilted her head to look at Liu, and said with a smile: "Ask Old Madam Liu's An." ”
"Presumptuous!" The young woman sitting under the Liu family, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she looked at Wen Shijiao with a very worried look.
"Do the three girls know what the etiquette is?"
This is the daughter-in-law of the Wen family, Gu Qingxiao.
was in charge of Wen's family, but her hand couldn't reach for the second room where Wen Shijiao was, which made her very angry.
Such scenes are staged almost every three to five days, and even this statement is repeated a lot.
Wen Shijiao looked at Gu Shi with a bit of playfulness in her eyes, and after a long time, Gu Shi almost collapsed.
Gu Shi really couldn't bear it, looked at Wen Shijiao and said, "Why are the three girls looking at me like this?" ”
"Today's aunt is very dignified and bright, so I was dumbfounded."
Wen Shijiao smiled slightly, looking at Gu's gaze was extremely sincere.
Gu Shi looked surprised, he didn't expect Wen Shijiao to praise himself.
Today, Gu is wearing a royal blue vertical collar lotus pattern hair-trimmed satin jacket, an indigo delphinium comb grate, and two peony jade bead hairpins, which look extravagant.
Regardless of whether what Wen Shijiao said was true or not, Gu's heart was still very fluttering.
After all, women love to hear and praise themselves.
Gu felt that today's Wen Shijiao was much more pleasing to the eye, so he looked at Wen Shijiao with a loving look and said, "Third girl, although she is a little playful, she still knows how to measure. ”
Liu snorted coldly.
Gu's complexion did not change, and his eyes became softer and softer when he looked at Wen Shijiao.
Wen Shijiao pursed a smile at the corner of her mouth, looked at Gu Shi and laughed softly, "Where is the eldest aunt, I am stubborn by nature, and I am really unsightly." ”
Gu Shi wanted to say something, but he saw Wen Shijiao and said: "The eldest aunt is very bright today, and she has never lost her color in the past. ”
Hearing this, the smile on the corner of Gu's mouth deepened a little.
"It's just an uncle, but I don't know why I can't bear to let my aunt often keep the empty room alone, and I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."
The corners of Gu's mouth stiffened with a smile, and then his face turned cold, looking at Wen Shijiao's eyes, he couldn't wait to eat her alive.
The husband and wife of the long house are not compatible, this is something that everyone knows all along, and it is also the reverse scale in Gu's heart, and it was actually said by a little girl in front of the public.
This made Gu so angry that he almost gritted his teeth, and his face was full of hot pain, but he didn't know what to say.
"Wen Shijiao! How dare you be presumptuous! How could Mother be an insult to you! ”
A young girl standing next to Wen Ruxun looked at Wen Shijiao with disgust.
Wen Shijiao smiled, looked at Wen Ruhui expressionlessly, and suddenly laughed: "What? I can't insult, others can? ”
Wen Ruhui was stunned for a moment, and then heard Wen Shijiao say coldly for a moment: "What are you, but you are a concubine, you dare to scold me, it seems that the rules of the house have not yet been established." ”
Wen Shijiao turned her eyes to look at Gu, raised her eyebrows and said, "Auntie, what do you say?" ”
The Wen family rules are that the concubine must not be disrespectful to the concubine, and those who violate it will be slapped.
