Chapter Eighty-Five: Throwing Yourself into Your Arms
The passers-by who were watching the bustle on the side nodded their heads when they heard the words, and secretly admired that she was indeed a good woman with ambition. There was some disdain in his eyes when he looked at the undrunk man. It's just that the people who dare to act arrogantly here must not be good at the same time, so naturally no one dares to stand up and help the weak.
Su Chengzhi glanced at Sanniang, his brows furrowed.
"The east market buys horses, the west market buys saddle sheaths, the south market buys bridles, and the north market buys long whips. Miss Su, you are well-read, do you know the meaning of this sentence? Sanniang looked at Su Chengzhi helplessly.
Su Chengzhi frowned.
"What does this have to do with buying something?"
This means that the goods will be sold in a fixed place so that sellers and buyers of similar goods can be concentrated. Although I have not been in Ziyang City for a short time, I also know that to buy clothes and jewelry, rouge gouache, and pearl and jade utensils, I have to go to Dongdajie. To buy coal and firewood, you have to go to the South City Gate early in the morning, to buy meat, rice, vegetables and fruits, you have to go to the vegetable market on the three streets of Xicheng, and to buy coffins, shrouds, tin foil, and paper money, you have to go to Ban'er Lane. Sanniang paused.
"And the little maids who want to buy maids and maids in each house are either to find the Chinese people and Ya women who live in Liuye Lane, or to go to the City God Temple on West Street to pick the ones who sell themselves."
Sanniang looked at Su Chengzhi, who was frowning and thinking, and said patiently: "This is the middle street of Dongdajie, and the surrounding shops are either selling antique utensils or Taibai Lou, a restaurant and teahouse with very high fees, and people who come and go are either rich or expensive. Who will come here to buy maids and rough maids? The people who can use the maid and the rough maid are all traded by the housekeeper, and how can those housekeepers come here to pick people? This kind of thing is clear to me, a foreigner who has just been here for a few days, and this girl's accent looks like someone from this neighborhood, right? ”
Sanniang took a look and said: "This girl said that she just wants to work hard and doesn't want to sell hue, so she is in the wrong place." The people who would buy her here weren't going to let her go back to work. ”
Su Chengzhi finally came back to her senses, and she walked back to the table and sat down. Continue to drink tea with a blank face, as if the unhappiness just now did not happen.
"Then why did she refuse that man?" After being quiet for a while, Su Chengzhi couldn't help but ask.
"Goods are all valuable, maybe she thinks she deserves a better price, and is ready to sell at a price." Sanniang couldn't help frowning when she looked at the group of people who were walking towards the Taibai Building not far downstairs.
"Maybe she has another purpose." Sanniang glanced at the girl who was righteously refuting the man loudly, and said lightly.
"For what purpose?" Su Chengyi asked while following Sanniang's gaze, and when he saw Laibenren, he turned his head and said, "It's the prince." He made an appointment with my brother to have dinner at Taibai Building. ”
Sanniang retracted her gaze and said with a smile: "I'm not an immortal, how do I know what her purpose is?" If it's a fox, it will always show its tail. Let's take another look. ”
Xuanyun and his party walked to the door of Taibaitou, only paused at the door, but finally ignored it and went straight to Taibai Building.
And the movement on the street grew louder and louder, and finally the girl couldn't bear it anymore. At the right moment, he opened his mouth to bite down on the man's outstretched palm. The man's hand was instantly bloody.
"Catch this bitch for me." The man broke out in a cold sweat as he yelled at his entourage.
That's when the girl did something unexpected. I saw her quickly get out of the armpit of the attendant who had rushed to grab him. ran towards Taibai Building.
"Help." The poignant cry for help was unbearable, and it resounded in the Taibai Building in an instant.
Because the second floor of Taibai Building today has been wrapped up by Shizi and Su Minzhi, only Sanniang's house has guests on the third floor, and the cousins are even inaudible because of their training, so the whole building is very quiet. This cry of help echoes around the building, which is creepy.
"She's in this building." Wei Yunying was listening to the conversation between Sanniang and Su Chengzhi. His eyes widened in surprise at this scene.
"I went up to the second floor." Sanniang tilted her head to listen and nodded.
"No, I can't. I'm going down and have a look. Since this woman has ill intentions, her heart is deep, and her intentions are unknown. My brother is downstairs, I'm afraid I'll recruit her. Su Chengzhi stood up and said.
Sanniang thought that Su Chengzhi was such a straightforward character, and when she saw her mother that time, she was also simple and unscrupulous, and her brother must be inseparable from her like things, so she couldn't really be calculated by this woman.
With the addition of the amorous son, the situation is good.
"There you go." Sanniang smiled and nodded.
I didn't want Su Chengzhi to glance at Sanniang, and said expressionlessly: "You go with me." ”
“……”
"Miss Su, I'm a woman, and I don't know your brother and the son well, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go on like this." After staring at Su Chengzhi for a while, Sanniang was defeated and said with a headache.
"The second floor has been wrapped up by my brother, and the idle people have been dismissed, and even the people who serve the food are only passing the food at the entrance of the building, and the people who come with them are all credible people, you don't have to worry about someone chewing the root of the tongue." Su Chengzhi said seriously.
Sanniang thought, since someone at the entrance of the building is responsible for uploading food, and Shizi just brought so many followers, how did he let this girl come up just now? Sure enough, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and the guards of the prince are also pity and cherish the jade?
Seeing Sanniang's unmoved appearance, Su Chengzhi frowned and said, "Besides, that woman is cunning and pretentious, if she makes any more tricks, I will definitely not be able to see it." You can easily see that there is something wrong with that woman, and she must have gone beyond it, and if you were there, she would not have been able to produce any moths. ”
Cunning and contrived? Worse than?
Even if her temperament is gentle and not easy to get angry, Sanniang also felt the green tendons on her forehead jumping and jerking.
Su Chengzhi saw Sanniang bowing his head and was silent, but he couldn't help but say that he stretched out his hand and pulled Sanniang and left.
Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and was pulled to a stumbling position, but finally stabilized her body but saw that she had been pulled to the door.
Sanniang looked at her hand that she couldn't break free from being tightly held, and she was so angry that she didn't want to care. Some people just go to the end with a tendon, and she doesn't understand what you're angry about after being angry for a long time, and in the end, she may have wronged you for having a cloudy and uncertain temperament.
"Wait, you guys?" Sanniang turned around and wanted to explain a few words to Wei Yunying and Shen Yue.
"I ...... I'll go too. Wei Yunying was stunned by Su Chengzhi's actions, but now she came back to her senses and hurriedly got up and followed. She was also afraid that her cousin would suffer the woman's loss.
"I'm not going, I'm waiting for you here." Shen Yue'e sat still.
What else did Sanniang want to say. Su Chengzhi dragged Sanniang away. In order not to make her image too ugly, Sanniang had to try her best to keep up with Su Chengzhi's pace.
Although the female guests of Taibai Building enter the building through the back door, in order to facilitate the delivery of food, there are still stairs connecting the first floor to the third floor.
Sanniang followed Su Cheng down the stairs, and as soon as she reached the second floor, she heard the woman's sobbing.
When I got to the door of the private room, I saw the woman kneeling at a table, crying and begging for something.
This private room is not the largest in the building, but at the end of the second floor, the windows on both sides of the southeast side are open. The field of vision is very wide, and you can even see the Jihe Wharf in the distance from the east window.
There were three people sitting on the table in the middle of the room, the prince who was staring at the girl on the ground with great interest, and Chen Xiaomei who was sitting in his arms. and a young man in white sitting opposite the son.
The young man in white had starry eyes. The nose is straight and the lips are thin, and the outline is somewhat similar to Su Chengzhi, and he is supporting his chin with one hand at this time. kept turning the folding fan in his hand, with a good look on his face.
Inadvertently, he turned his eyes and saw Su Chengzhi and Sanniang at the door, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Su Chengzhi didn't say hello, pulled Sanniang and walked straight to the table and stood, frowning and looking at the girl who was crying with pear blossoms and rain.
Su Minzhi's eyes looked at Sanniang for a while, and nodded with a very graceful smile.
Sanniang was a little embarrassed. broke free from Su Chengzhi's hands and blessed Su Minzhi and the prince. After standing up straight, he rubbed his wrist, which was scratched a little red, without a trace.
Su Minzhi's eyes swept to Sanniang's wrist. Then he glanced at Su Cheng, and his eyes were a little helpless.
"But beauty, you are so strong, I don't dare to accept it in this world. Just now, the one who looked so strong that you bit like killing a pig and screamed, and the thin skin and tender meat of this world can't stand it. Shizi blinked those peach blossom eyes, a little embarrassed.
The delicate beauty on the ground stiffened inappropriately when she heard this, and then said politely: "Master, the little girl can do laundry, cook, clean and make beds, and she can serve pen and ink because she knows a few words." The little woman doesn't ask for anything else, just asks the master to give the little woman a place to stay, and the little woman will be rewarded with a straw ring. ”
Xuanyun smiled and fell on the table, and only after a long time did he squint at the woman and said, "Master is still missing laundry, cooking, cleaning and making beds?" I only lack warm beds. ”
Seeing that the woman seemed to want to speak and stopped, Xuanyun regretted again: "Originally, the son of this world looked at you as a lovely person, and he had the heart to be close to you. But just after listening to your words, you came to this world because you were unwilling to be a human plaything. Everyone in the world knows what kind of person this son is, aren't you the fat that fell into the mouth of the tiger when you get into the hands of this son? This son listened to your remarks and suddenly respected you, but this son just can't control his own love of flowers and grass, and it would be a sin if he couldn't help but offend you. ”
The woman bit her lip, as if she was making a difficult decision, and finally the strong man looked up at Xuanyun like a broken wrist and said, "If it's a master...... Little Lady ...... Little girl, willing. The original meaning of the latter is almost inaudible, and it is lingering and tactful.
"Poof." Xuanyun couldn't help but slap the table and laugh.
The woman looked up in amazement.
"Girl, in that case, why didn't you just obey that person?" Su Minzhi played with the fan in his hand, hooked his lips and smiled.
"That person, how can that person be compared to the master." The woman's voice was a little stiff and a little shy.
"So you have a crush on Ye Junqiao, so you are willing to throw yourself into your arms?" Xuanyun let go of Chen Xiaomei in his arms, walked up to the woman, reached out and picked up her chin, looking at the woman's eyes with great tenderness and sweetness.
The woman tilted her head slightly shyly, but did not answer.
Xuanyun let go of his hand and touched his chin as if he was very distressed.
"But girl, you are now wearing linen and filial piety, and you are in the filial piety period, and you can't see it in this world." (To be continued.)
