Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dead
One night, Pei Erniang also fell ill, invited Lang Zhong to come to see her, and sent someone to the chef to decoct the medicine, the golden silk has been sold, only the little maid Yinjin is busy running forward and backward, tired and can't straighten her waist, but there is no other way.
Before the gold silk was sold, she begged Pei Erniang to help her beg the eldest lady Pei, she was loyal to Pei Erniang, and she did as she was told.
Pei Erniang was originally a little unbearable, but when she heard the back, her face suddenly turned ugly, and she waved her hand to ask the mother-in-law who led the person to take her away quickly, and she turned over and lay down, even more breathless.
The eldest lady Pei also said that she was sick, but she didn't let people invite Lang Zhong, she just sulked in the room by herself, she sent several times to invite Du Kui to come over to discuss Du Huo's affairs, but she was blocked back, saying that Du Kui was listening to music at Aunt Dai's place, and she had no time to come.
She was so angry that her face was blue, and the sweet white glazed tea bowl in her hand was smashed to the ground, and she couldn't wait to rush to Linshui Pavilion to tear up Dai's alive, a woman who came out of a brothel, and now she is also in front of her.
But after a temper blow, she was deflated again, sat on the couch and lamented, the second room was aggressive, Xiao refused to give up, and her niece was also a scourge, but what should I do, do I really want to ruin San Lang's future?
She thought about it and had no way, but suddenly remembered, and hurriedly called Mother Lin: "Go, go and invite the eldest sister to come back to the house, she must have a way." ”
By the way, she also has the eldest daughter Du Lan who married the Jiang family, with Du Lan here, Du Kui just doesn't give her face, she has to give her a few points, and Du Lan must have a way to solve this matter.
As soon as Mother Lin went to Jiang's Mansion to invite Du Lan, she saw a new oil-walled carriage parked at the side door, Xiao Rongyue walked out with Sanqi's hand, and Guangdan who followed behind him was still carrying a small burden, looking like he was going out.
The people of Du Mansion looked at them with curiosity, didn't it mean that this lady of the Xiao family was so angry that she couldn't afford to fall ill, why did she still go out at this time?
But soon they saw that Xiao Rongyue's face was pale, and she didn't have the strength to take steps under her feet, and she barely walked to the carriage with Sanqi in her arms, and was helped by her mother-in-law to get into the carriage, so she lowered the curtain, and it looked like she was really inappropriate.
Some of the mothers-in-law who guarded the door of the Du Mansion were more vigilant, and when they remembered this, they were afraid that the eldest lady didn't know about it, so they hurriedly sneaked into the mansion to report it, but no one dared to stop Xiao Rongyue and his party, because they also knew that the eldest lady should have undertaken two things for Xiao Rongyue before, one was to ask for Yuzhu, and the other was that Xiao Rongyue could enter and leave the mansion freely.
When Pei Shi got the news, the corners of his mouth twitched: "She's not too sick to get up from the bed, but she still wants to go out, it's really shameless, let her go, and won't pay attention!" ”
She ignored it, but Du Huo was startled when she got the news, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, go and chase it back." ”
It's a pity that it was a step late, Xiao Rongyue's carriage had already left the door and didn't know where to go, Du Huo gritted his teeth and said: "Go and wait in front of Xiao's house, seeing that she has to bring someone back to me, I can't let her enter Xiao's house." ”
However, his people waited in front of Xiao's house all day and couldn't see Xiao Rongyue, and no one knew where she went.
Xiao Rongyue didn't know that she had bothered Du Huo so much, she was leisurely taking Sanqi, Guangdan and a few mothers-in-law to wander around the Nanshi Fang Gongguxiang, from the jewelry shop to the book and ink shop, and went to the Xiao family's several clothing stores and porcelain stores to take a look, and bought a lot of things.
"Lady, it's still hot this day, and there are still a lot of time to cool in autumn, why did you buy so many brocade clothes, do you want to keep them first?" Guangdan curiously flipped through those Shu brocades and cloud brocades.
Xiao Rongyue smiled and did not speak.
They thought that they would stay in Jiangning City for a long time, but it wouldn't be long before Du Huo would leave for Chang'an to study, and she would naturally have to return to Chang'an.
The autumn of Chang'an, but it is coming.
She was a little stunned, sighed lightly, and instructed her mother-in-law to lead the way: "Go to Koushi." ”
At this time, even Sanqi was taken aback: "Does the lady want to buy a little maid?" Let the Yazi of the mouth city pick a good one and send it to the house, where there are many mixed people, and the lady is afraid that it will be inconvenient to go. ”
Xiao Rongyue waved his hand: "Follow me to take a look, pick a few sturdy ones who can also take care of the home in the future." ”
Sanqi was stunned and followed Xiao Rongyue to Koushi, but he was confused, now in the Du family, the people who take care of the home are the servants of the Du family, where should the lady be placed if she buys someone?
Koushi is at the end of Luoguo Lane, it is indeed mixed and lively, the horse seller and the slave seller are mixed together, dirty and noisy, Sanqi is busy taking a hat for Xiao Rongyue to put on, and a few of them are also tightly covered, lest they be looked at by these messy people.
Xiao Rongyue swept on both sides, there were tall horses, smooth fur, snorting and flicking their tails, so imposing, and the young maids who were tied hands and feet with tears hanging down, their appearance and figure were very good, and the people standing on the side looked at Xiao Rongyue and hurriedly shouted: "This lady come and take a look, these are all sold maids from big families, they are very well taught, and they can be used as ......errands when they are bought back."
Xiao Rongyue didn't look at it much, and walked straight forward, this is not what she wants, what she wants is a department that can afford to be guarded, and she doesn't know if there is a suitable one in Jiangning Mansion.
It was about early, there were not many guests in the mouth, and there were only three or two people everywhere to watch the excitement, Xiao Rongyue's steps were also very brisk, walking past a group of kneeling slaves and maids, but he stopped abruptly before passing by a shop, and turned his head in astonishment to look at a few guests there.
In front of this shop knelt a few little maids who were no more than eight or nine years old, their thin and weak bodies kneeling on the ground and trembling, the blue and gray coarse cloth robes on their bodies were already tattered, revealing fair and smooth skin, which did not look like they were going to be sent to the maids of the moment.
Xiao Rongyue's eyes fell on the few guests who were talking to Yazi, led by a young man with a proud expression, the horsewhip in his hand raised the face of a little maid to take a look, and then lifted the already tattered robe, looked at her already trembling body, and then snorted with satisfaction: "...... I'm still older, but I look reluctant, except for these few, there's nothing else? ”
A middle-aged man with a long white beard behind him looked a little hesitant, and said in a low voice: "Lang Jun, these are cheap after all, if you want to send them...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”
The young Lang Jun put down the horsewhip nonchalantly: "As long as you like that person, and others dare to say anything, I still think these few are too wooden, and I have to find someone to teach them well." ”
Another old man with a slightly longer and slender face hurriedly stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "There are a few people in the brothel here who have some means, so it's better to ......."
The young Lang Jun smiled proudly, but turned to look at a small servant standing far away: "Go and tell you Gorou, my side is all right, is his errand finished?" If it's done, it's time to go to Chunyangfang, I'll wait for him there. ”
The servant bowed and went.
Xiao Rongyue watched the group give Yazi a bag, and let people take away a few little maids, and then left the mouth market in a flamboyant manner, but she was stunned there for a long time and did not move.
The right servant shot Changfu Erlang Jun Changyun came to Jiangning Mansion, what did he do when he bought those little maids? Is it for someone?
