Chapter 115: Ruthless Characters (1)
The horses climbed the plough and galloped quickly on the endless snowfield, and the north wind playfully blew a fluffy and fluffy snowflake, constantly fluttering between the heavens and the earth, until the whole world seemed to become illusory.
If the literati and artists saw this beautiful scenery, they would definitely want to recite poems to sigh the beauty of heaven and earth, but Pucao had no intention of appreciating it. Although she had tried her best to straighten her back, the golden fox fur on her body was still rubbed off by the wooden plank, and many of the long hairs were swaying and flashing in the sun, which made people more and more upset. Pu Cao raised his hand and waved it hard, not wanting to lose his wife and break his soldiers, but he was so tired that his sleeve was dirty again.
She sighed at last, and leaned on the box at will, letting the fox skin lay pitifully on the plank. These gorgeous things are beautiful, but how can there be a big jacket at home to be convenient?
Thinking of the man who sent the fox fur, her brow furrowed even tighter, maybe it was really wishful thinking on her part to be a lover, he didn't see her as an equal, and he still didn't understand what she really wanted...
A few snowflakes fluttered to Pucao's side by the north wind, and they wanted to fall mischievously on her eyelashes to play, but unfortunately they were frightened by the complexity in her eyes and retreated...
At this time, the garden was very busy, the little maids carried brooms to sweep the snow in front of the door, and finally gathered in the gatehouse to drink tea and gossip, and took turns to go out from time to time to see the movement.
The housekeeper of the inner courtyard, Chunying, also cleaned the house with quick hands and burned the brazier, and a maid accidentally mixed the threshold when she entered the door, and the clothes in her hand fell to the ground.
Chunying hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, carefully cleaned it, and then complained, "Magpie, don't be too frizzy, do things carefully." ”
The maid who was called a magpie rubbed her knees that hurt, pouted and complained, "Sister Chunying, I didn't mean to. Running around all morning, just the cushions on this chair, you let you change three suits, my legs are tired and weak. ”
Another maid named Thrush, who was arranging the curtain on the side, also echoed, "That's right, Sister Chunying, what is the origin of the distinguished guest who is coming to the door today, as for letting us serve like this?" Could it be our son..."
Chunying heard her more and more out of line, and hurriedly scolded in a low voice, "Shut up, you guys are tired for a while, so you can rest more." But don't remember not to gossip about the master, otherwise you will be beaten up, and I won't help you intercede. ”
The two maids stuck out their little tongues and took the talk, but there was no fear on their faces, which showed that the spring warbler had no prestige in their hearts.
Chunying was also helpless, and his subordinates were busy spreading their clothes on the bed, but in the end they still reminded, "Last night, the master specially ordered you to serve your guests well, and you should not be lazy for a while." ”
"Got it, Sister Chunying, we're not little girls who just entered the house, the rules are clear, don't nag." Magpies and thrushes pouted and walked around the house with feather dusters.
Chunying looked a little annoyed, and just wanted to say a few more words, but she didn't want a little maid to report outside the door, "Sister Chunying, your guest has already arrived at the second door." ”
"Hey, open the courtyard door immediately." The spring warbler hurriedly glanced around, and realized that there was nothing wrong with the house, so she hurriedly went out of the yard with a curious magpie and a thrush to wait.
Seeing that the layout of this garden is atmospheric, and the houses are also built simple and elegant, I love it very much, and my face is softened.
Dongzi smiled and walked all the way to introduce, and finally arrived at a small courtyard, then stopped and said, "Zhang Dongjia, you rest here first." I'll go to report to my son, and I'll have my own maid to guide you in a while. ”
After speaking, he saluted, waved his hand and signaled the spring warblers guarding the door to hurry over and serve, and then trotted away.
When the three of Chunying saw that the distinguished guest attracted by Dongzi was actually an ordinary-looking woman, and she was dressed as a woman, they were so shocked that they didn't know what to do for a while.
In the end, Chunying was more steady, and tried her best to endure the doubts in her heart and saluted and said, "The slave and maid Chunying has given a salute to the distinguished guest, and invited the noble guest to enter the courtyard with the slave and maid." ”
Pu Cao thought that he had already arrived at the place, but he didn't want to be an inn, and he even had to be notified again to see Fang Jie. Such pomp and circumstance inexplicably made her feel alienated, and her brows wrinkled again.
But she didn't want to be angry with a few maids, so she nodded lightly, and followed the spring warbler into the yard, and the magpie and the thrush squeezed each other's eyes and hurriedly followed.
The room is very warm because of the charcoal fire that was lit early. As soon as she entered the door, there was a hot steam on her face, and Pu Cao couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth and nose and sneez.
Seeing this, Chunying immediately stepped forward to untie her fox fur cloak and said with a smile, "Your guest may have been blown by the wind for a long time, and he has suffered from the cold, so he will definitely be better with a cup of hot tea."
After saying that, she motioned to the magpie to quickly pour tea and send it over.
I didn't want the magpie and the thrush to see that Pucao took off her fox fur cloak, revealing that the skirt inside was actually sewn from cotton, which was extremely shabby, and it was not even as good as the dress they were wearing, so they became contemptuous.
The two of them gathered by the door and pouted at each other, trying their best to communicate each other's surprise and disdain with their eyes, where could they see the gestures of the spring warbler.
The spring warbler was not good at scolding loudly, hated and glanced at them, quickly put down the fox skin, and poured tea with his own hands.
Pu Cao saw everything in his eyes, but he was still silent, and he found a guest seat to sit down.
Chunying held the tea in both hands and said in a low voice, "Distinguished guest, please drink tea." ”
Pu Cao took it and thanked him gently, "I'm tired of the girl." ”
Chunying was very frightened, and bent over to respond, "Your guests have tormented the slaves and maids, and our son has instructed the slaves and maids to serve the guests well." ”
Pu Cao smiled noncommittally, lowered his head and took a shallow sip of tea, then raised his eyes and swept the things in the room and asked, "What else did he order?" ”
Chunying walked to the side of the bed and picked up the jacket and skirt, and coughed heavily, causing the magpie and thrush to finally remember their respective duties, and stepped forward to hold the makeup box and deerskin boots, and then smiled, "Our son wants to invite the distinguished guests to enjoy the plum and drink, and instruct the slaves and maids to dress up the distinguished guests." ”
As she said this, she took two steps forward with her dress and asked Pu Cao to take a closer look, "This is a Yuehua skirt with gold hundred butterflies wearing flower jackets and Hangzhou silk cuts, all of which are selected by slaves and maids for distinguished guests." If the guest does not like it, the slave and maid immediately take it and change it again. ”
The magpie holding the makeup box saw that Chunying was so respectful, and he was very disapproving, and took a step forward and put the makeup box in his hand on Pu Cao's chest, and said with a half-smile and half-mockery, "The distinguished guest also looks at this set of jewelry in the slave's hand, this is also the latest style that the Golden Jade Pavilion has just sent, made of red gold." Ordinary women don't wear it on their bodies, maybe they don't see it once in their lives. Hurry up and put on your guests, our son will be angry after waiting for a long time. ”
"Why, listening to the magpie girl's words, but I think I'm the woman of the ordinary family, and it's an honor to see me once, right?"
Pu Cao stretched out her hand to push open the makeup box, and looked at the magpie with a cold and sharp gaze, which made her bow her head in a weak heart, and she was flustered, trying to justify a few words. But when she lowered her head and saw Pu Cao's coarse cloth skirt clearly, she felt a sour feeling in her heart for some reason.
thinks that she is also as beautiful as a flower, and after two years in the house, her son-in-law just turned a blind eye. Now she actually got such a shabby woman to serve her, what is this?
"The guest is too careful, and the slave doesn't mean that. The distinguished guests invited back by our son-in-law are naturally from prominent families, which is comparable to the women of ordinary families. ”
"Shut up, magpie!" Chunying heard Chunying's insulting words again, and immediately opened her mouth to repel her. I was in a hurry to ask for sin, but I didn't know how to speak.
Pu Cao's eyes swept over the fox skin on the chair little by little, the luxurious dress in Chunying's hand, and the unconvinced magpie and the thrush watching the play, only to feel that the anger in her heart had accumulated to the extreme, and she could no longer tolerate it.
"Go and call your sons, and say that I have something to say. If he doesn't have it in a quarter of an hour, I'll take my leave. ”
"Distinguished guest, the magpie is young, it didn't mean to collide with you, don't be angry..."
Pu Cao ignored their tugging, slowly sipped the warm tea in his hand, and lightly threw out a sentence, "A quarter of an hour will pass soon." ”
Seeing that the distinguished guest would definitely not change his mind, Chunying had to whisper to the thrush, "You stay and wait, I'll go and invite the son!" With that, he hurried out without waiting for the thrush to respond.
The thrush rolled his eyes, moved to the door and pulled the magpie with a somewhat worried face, and whispered in a low voice, "What are you making a fuss about, the son will be here in a while, you are not afraid of being beaten by the board?" ”
The magpie wrenched his shirt with both hands, and his silver teeth rattled, and at the end he suddenly opened his mouth to pick up the thrush, "You go and make a pot of tea!" ”
The thrush pointed to the table in confusion and asked, "Haven't you already brewed it?" ”
But the magpie ignored it, and said angrily, "Let you go!" ”
The thrush rolled her eyes, thinking that she was thin-skinned and wanted to beg for mercy from the distinguished guest in private, so she raised her eyebrows and replied, "Then you can say it well, I can avoid it." With that, she turned around and went out.
The magpie closed the door, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly ran and took the fox fur cloak and the brocade dress and threw them to the ground, raised his foot and trampled on them, and finally lifted the makeup box and fell apart. After doing this, she actually slapped herself seven or eight times left and right...
Pu Cao was stunned with the teacup, and once thought that this maid was frightened and crazy. It's a pity that crazy people generally beat others, how can they abuse themselves like this? So, it must not be madness, it's... Conspiracy!
Sure enough, the magpie finished slapping the grass, and knelt down by the door with a sharp glance. The little red and swollen face lined with slightly messy sideburns, clothes and messy places is really pitiful, how pitiful and pitiful.
At this time, if anyone comes in to take a look, they don't even have to listen to her crying, they will immediately guess the truth that the distinguished guest is arrogant and can't find fault with the slave and maid...
Pu Cao slowly put down the teacup, suddenly clapped vigorously, and praised sincerely, "Okay, that's great." Unexpectedly, I met a ruthless character today! ”
