Chapter 40: More beautiful than his pigs
"Miss has a point!" Shui Se echoed continuously, "Although this third lady has listened to Mr. teach you outside the study before, she has not actually attended a day of class. I didn't pay attention to whether she could read and write, but this poetry and song is absolutely impossible to be so powerful, by the way, I heard Mama Li next to Mrs. Li say that these three young ladies still know some fist and foot kung fu, but no man can hurt her that day. Miss, you say...... Could it be that someone has bad intentions towards our Jiaofu and got a fake third lady to get in? ”
"It's very likely that Jiao Yuzhen used to be submissive, and he didn't dare to speak to me, let alone talk back to my eldest sister and mother. I felt strange when I asked my father to say goodbye that day, I wanted to make it difficult for her to take her to the year-end poetry banquet of the county lord of Wenyu, but I didn't expect to let her be out of the limelight! Do you want to...... If she is really the third sister, it is rare to get the opportunity to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet so proudly, and even have the opportunity to get rid of the marriage contract with Prince Jing, how can she give me the opportunity? Unless she was afraid of entering the palace and revealing her feet, so she had to do it. ”
Shui Se's face was also a little ugly: "So what is Miss going to do?" If this third lady is fake, then ......"
"Shuise, you give sandalwood to your grandmother, and then find someone who can still talk to Jin'er to inquire where Jin'er is, and then ask Jin'er a little cryptically, do you think there is something wrong with this third lady." Jiao Youhan suddenly felt that his future was bright, and his face, which had been calm just now, began to become relaxed, "As long as I can be sure that she is not Jiao Yuzhen, I will definitely be able to drive her out of Jiao Mansion in one fell swoop, and let her also taste the shame of her mother being kicked out!" ”
******
Although Xiao Shu said that she cleaned up the table and then went to the yard to wait, in fact, she just cleaned up the dishes and went to stop Qingmei with a basket of dishes, and went to greet Du Chenghuan in person, Jiao Yuzhen watched carefully, but she didn't stop it, and followed Xiao Shu curiously.
"Hello, Du Gongzi. My young lady is waiting for her son in the garden. As soon as he saw Du Chenghuan at the door, Xiao Shu immediately showed a smile, and leaned over to make a "please come in" action.
Du Chenghuan was also a little surprised when he saw that he had changed to a little maid, and after looking Xiao Shu up and down, he smiled: "What a clever child, what is your name?" ”
"My real surname is Shu, and my name is Shu Qing." Xiao Shu replied with a smile.
"Shu Shuqing. What a lovely name. ”
"Childe, my name is Shu Qing, not Shu Shuqing." Xiao Shu's face showed a slightly embarrassed look.
"Oh, this kid looks so smart, why can't he talk? Even his own name was wrong. ”
Du Chenghuan shook his head, then strode past Xiao Shu and walked forward, and then Xiao Shu's face fell even more, with a bitter expression that dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
Jiao Yuzhen, who was hiding in the corner, retracted her gaze, covered her mouth and snickered, she didn't expect that just a sentence, Du Chenghuan would be able to choke back the sharp-tongued Xiao Shu, but she didn't expect that the name Xiao Shu was not newly taken by entering the mansion, but her real name, which was strange...... Even if Xiao Shu's name is very good, it is easy to remember, but where is the reason to sell yourself and not change your name?
Seeing that Xiao Shu quickly followed Du Chenghuan and led him to continue walking, Jiao Yuzhen also bypassed the corridor and continued to watch with his own eyes with farsightedness and lip reading skills.
"Childe and my young lady are old acquaintances?" Xiao Shu asked again.
"Oops...... It's also an old acquaintance, but this is the first time I've entered Mrs. Jiao's Mansion. Du Chenghuan couldn't help but sigh, "Outside this Jiao Taifu's mansion is a high-rise family, come in and take a look, the small bridges and flowing water, the pavilions and pavilions, are beautiful." Even you little maids are so beautiful...... Xiao Shu, you are really beautiful, more beautiful than everyone in the palace, you must be a beauty when you grow up! ”
Jiao Yuzhen raised her eyebrows, she clearly heard Du Chenghuan say the word "palace", so her figure flashed, and she walked out from the depths of the corridor: "Du Gongzi is good." ”
"The girl is polite." Du Chenghuan hurriedly stopped and shook towards Jiao Yuzhen.
"Du Gongzi seems to like my maid Xiaoshu very much, and he actually uses the little girl to compare with the people in ......the palace" Jiao Yuzhen smiled and said casually, "Du Gongzi has seen the people in the palace...... I don't know where Du Gongzi is on weekdays? ”
Du Chenghuan hurriedly clenched his fists and shook his head: "In the next Jiejie, how can you see the people in the palace?" At most, I was fortunate to participate in the year-end poetry banquet of the county lord of Wenyu last time and met some dignitaries and nobles. In the lower ancestor, he was a pig raiser, and before he went out to the capital, he was studying while helping the family raise pigs. ”
"Pig ......" The smile on Jiao Yuzhen's face became stronger, and he looked at Xiao Shu with a little sympathy, "Since Du Gongzi's family is a pig raiser, I'm afraid that everyone will think it looks good." ”
"The girl has a point." Du Chenghuan didn't seem to remember what he said to Xiao Shu just now, and said as a matter of course.
Xiao Shu snorted coldly, glared at Du Chenghuan and trotted away.
"Du Gongzi smiled, the new maid doesn't understand the rules." The goal was achieved, and Jiao Yuzhen smiled happily.
Du Chenghuan also laughed, and walked side by side with Jiao Yuzhen: "Girl, in fact, I just came from a private school called Feng'an on Chengxi Wei Street, I have lived there during this period of time in the capital, and I just met a new gentleman surnamed Gongsun in the past few days, and there is a new cook named Jin'er, the cook's skills are very good, but it has greatly improved our food in Feng'an. Under careful questioning, it was all recommended by the girl. I came here today because a girl named Liu Fu met with Mr. Gongsun, and brought some things that Miss Jiao wanted. ”
I saw Du Chenghuan take out a flatbread wrapped in oilskin paper from his sleeve and handed it over: "I buy it on the street when I go out, and the girl can accept it." ”
Jiao Yuzhen really accepted it with some tears in his eyes: "Actually, I was very hungry in the morning, but I ate a lunch at noon that I don't know what the taste is, which I can save for the evening." ”
"Girl, casual." Du Chenghuan smiled and spoke, "That night was abrupt, if the girl needs help, she will be happy to do it." ”
"Du Gongzi doesn't have to take that matter to heart, in fact, I also have rudeness." Jiao Yuzhen led Du Chenghuan into the courtyard, and then handed the cake in his hand to the begonia on the side, "Put this in my room, there is no need for anyone to wait in the garden." ”
"Yes, miss." Begonia respectfully accepted it, and then withdrew.
Sitting down with Du Chenghuan, Jiao Yuzhen personally made him a cup of tea, but when he saw Du Chenghuan holding up the teacup, he pressed him with his hand, and then took out the silver needle left by Jiao Hongfu from his sleeve and tried it in the tea, and only let go of his hand after seeing that there was no poison: "Don't be surprised by Du Gongzi, although I am not as deep as the palace here, but it can be regarded as a deep sea when I enter a wealthy family, step by step, step by step, I have to be careful." ”
"As soon as you enter a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea, and every step is terrifying...... What a superb verse. Miss Jiao is talented and admired. Du Chenghuan stood up again, and then sat down to drink tea.
"Du Gongzi ...... just now Did you deliberately let Xiao Shu leave? Jiao Yuzhen ignored Du Chenghuan's compliment and asked.
Du Chenghuan's eyes flashed with a gleam, but he picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, but when he lowered his head, he smiled a little silly: "I'm just telling the truth." In the lower ancestor, he is a pig breeder and a pig, very vulgar, although he is a scholar, but he can't forget his roots, so he may have said something bad for a while, which made the little girl angry. ”
Jiao Yuzhen took a deep look at Du Chenghuan, she has always had a fierce gaze, how could she not see that this Du Chenghuan is wise and foolish? But since Du Chenghuan didn't say it, but he could help her, she didn't care.
"Du Gongzi, did Mr. Gongsun ask Gongzi to come? I thought it would be Mr. Gongsun or Jin Er who would come to me directly. When Jiao Yuzhen said this, he suddenly thought of a question, "Du Gongzi, the master of Feng Anjia...... Who is it? ”
"Mr. Gongsun asked me to come over, and he has been busy for the past two days...... In fact, the original owner of Feng Ancha passed away two days ago, and when Mr. Gongsun came, he was just in time for the funeral, and many people left the next day, and it happened that Jin Er came here to help. Mr. Gongsun brought so much money that he wanted to buy shares, so now Feng Ancha is Mr. Gongsun's. Below is a diner, helping to clean up the trivialities. Du Chenghuan said this, and sighed softly, "Master Mo left suddenly, and I haven't had time to wait for the spring of next year to see me win the move and get famous, it's a pity." ”
"Master Mohan?" The figure of the blind middle-aged man came to mind, although it was a middle-aged man with gray hair, but the figure was indeed very tall and tall, but if you looked at the figure, you couldn't tell that it was an elderly person, he looked very young, how could he die in a few days?
"yes." Du Chenghuan lowered his eyelashes, hiding the surprise in his eyes, in fact, that person has many pseudonyms and identities, but he used the name "Mo Han" for this Jiao Yuzhen, and even had to sacrifice this stronghold and identity that has been in business for many years after learning Jiao Yuzhen's identity!
"It's a shame. I don't know...... How is it ......?"
In fact, he had been sick before, and all the money was spent in private school, and he didn't go to the doctor, so naturally he couldn't stay up for long. If Mr. Gongsun had come a day earlier, maybe ......" Du Chenghuan said sadly, it seems that it is really the same thing.
"Providence makes people." Jiao Yuzhen was also a little embarrassed, in fact, all life in this world is so impermanent, everyone has their own life, and she can't interfere, "Then please ask Du Gongzi to wait for me to tell Mr. Gongsun, let him continue to stay in the private school, and wait for me to take care of Jin'er." Plus, I need more than just a piece of bread. I'm in danger here, I can't even eat a mouthful of food, I'm going to starve to death one day, and I don't know how to ...... next."
"The girl feels that she is not at ease eating in the house, but it is not a way to buy dry food outside and hide it, so it is better to change the cook and the maid openly? If the girl especially doesn't like that Xiao Shu, there is a way to do it......"
Jiao Yuzhen's eyes lit up, and he leaned in front of Du Chenghuan: "What is Du Gongzi's opinion?" ”
"Don't dare." Du Chenghuan shook his head lightly and grinned, "That little girl is a child's heart after all, how can this child make trouble, why can't she prevent it, it's better to let her be harmed by her own arrangement?" ”
