Chapter 106: Haunted Rumors
Five Spice Building Private Room.
Ning Shuya's face looked a little haggard, and she was weak when she spoke, but even so, she still said to Zhong Xiaoshu with a light smile, "Xiaoshu...... I'm so happy to be able to meet you now. ”
"What's wrong? What's happened to you lately? When Zhong Xiaoshu saw her like this, she was afraid that she would be bullied by someone who had not yet dealt with a matter that she had not yet dealt with, after all, none of her family members were good to her, so she asked very worriedly.
"It's nothing, it's just a trivial thing in the house." Ning Shuya didn't want to talk about these little things, so she suppressed her emotions, and then lightly mentioned another big thing that had bothered her recently, saying, "Actually, I have been thinking about marriage myself, so I haven't slept well." ”
But even if she doesn't say it, Zhong Xiaoshu can guess without having to guess with her brain, but I'm afraid that it's not the "Lotus County Lord", or another daughter who will find her a little trouble.
It's just that Ning Shuya is used to this kind of small ordeal, although she feels aggrieved, but her cowardly nature makes her dare not say anything, and it is already her limit to be able to sigh to Zhong Xiaoshu shallowly.
Zhong Xiaoshu looked at it in his eyes and sighed in his heart, but at the moment the marriage was the most urgent and important, so he put these things in the back first, followed Ning Shuya's words, and then asked her, "I invited you over today, and it is indeed for your marriage." ”
"Shu Ya, I ask you seriously, do you really not want to marry into the Ma family? If you really don't want to, I'll find a way to help you. ”
Ning Shuya was stunned for a long time, and her mind did not fully understand Zhong Xiaoshu's words.
Because in her understanding, even she didn't dare to say a word about marriage and her parents' orders, let alone Zhong Xiaoshu, an outsider, she was just a restaurant proprietor.
But Zhong Xiaoshu's expression was very solemn, there was no hint of joke on her face, and after a moment of silence, she finally understood that she was seriously asking for her opinion.
This could well be a pivotal decision that would change the rest of her life!
Ning Shuya's resistance factor accumulated in her heart after being oppressed for a long time finally broke out bravely at this moment, she grabbed Zhong Xiaoshu's hand tightly, and her eyes were shining with starlight.
"I'm not married!" Ning Shuya finally confided her true thoughts in her heart, and she said again emphatically, "I don't want to marry!" I don't want to marry Ma Gongzi! ”
She also wants a good husband who can spend the rest of her life happily with Hemeimei and happiness!
"Good! I know. Zhong Xiaoshu nodded heavily.
Then he didn't talk a few words, and directly sent Ning Shuya back.
Ning Shuya, who finally came up with a little courage, was more than half of the time, raised her timid eyes, and asked in a whisper, "Xiao Shu?" ”
What did she mean by calling herself over and asking such a question?
Zhong Xiaoshu didn't explain much, only smiled back at her, and asked Nianwu to send the person back to the Hou Mansion again.
Within a few days, the capital was completely spring, the wicker sprouted, the river broke the ice, everything began to come alive, and even the people who had taken the nest for a winter began to set off for travel.
People come and go on Chang'an Avenue, the surrounding restaurants and shops are full of customers, the literati talk broadly, the ladies and ladies also have more interesting words, and even the servants of various prefectures and families are inevitably drinking and stealing two sentences, and people have never lacked interest in gossip.
Soon, rumors began to circulate.
The most powerful gossip is that the house of the soldier has been haunted since spring!
In the luxurious private room of Wuxiang Building, several official ladies sat together and chatted while eating the new desserts that had been released recently.
"Did you hear that? It is said that the Ma family, the squire of the military department, has been haunted again recently! Mrs. Ma was so frightened that she couldn't even go to the flower-viewing party a few days ago. ”
"I've heard about it!" A young lady said excitedly, "But I just think it's strange, Lord Ma's house has always been heavily guarded, and the yang energy is so heavy, how can ghosts still get close?" ”
"Oh, that's because it was a ghost who died in the house. Rao is that no matter how much yang energy there is outside, it can't stop the ghost from being born in the house. The other gestured elegantly stirring the bowl and said slowly.
"But it's been a long time since the Ma family's family has had a funeral, is it possible that his family is dead again? Why didn't my family receive the post? ”
"Ouch my silly sister! The one who made the Ma Mansion unpeaceful was the lady who died in childbirth last time! ”
As soon as this internal news came out, all the young ladies were taken aback, gathered around the young lady, and asked carefully, because the young lady knew the first-hand secrets, her face was proud, and she was about to speak, but she heard three gentle knocks on the door.
was silent all of a sudden, and immediately sat back in his position, Zhong Xiaoshu walked in with a light smile, and saw that all the young ladies were dignified and elegant, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, saying that no matter whether they are rich or poor, women gossip about the same thing.
On his face, he said, "Ladies are fine, this is a clear green tea that matches purple sweet potato sheep paste tablets." Sheep paste is sweet and greasy, you need to eat it with green tea, just now Xiao Er has not been prepared properly, and it was not presented in time, please forgive me. ”
"The boss lady personally delivered a trip, we all like the new desserts, and thank the boss lady." A young lady sitting at the head nodded politely.
Zhong Xiaoshu smiled and politely said a few words, and quickly retreated, giving the room to this group of young ladies who were full of discussion, and their expressions of wanting to gossip and whisper could not be hidden.
Sure enough, as she expected, this kind of thing happened in Mafu, and it quickly spread in the capital, and it didn't take much effort for her to come.
Zhong Xiaoshu paused, turned around and went to Nianwu's house.
Nianwu was packing up and preparing something, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly put down and greeted her, "Madam." ”
"Nianwu, you go to Mafu again tonight, and you can go tomorrow." Zhong Xiaoshu pointed to the things that Nianwu was fiddling with just now, thought for a moment, and then instructed her: "By the way, so when I come back after today, I will burn all the things I have dressed up, and don't leave a trace." ”
"Yes, don't worry, ma'am, I understand."
The two of them spoke a few more words, unfolded and sorted out the things, and suddenly saw that what they had in their hands was a big white robe with a red and a semi-circular pillow with a belt.
