Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Moon Lady
Full Moon Building.
Mei Niang went to the pantry as usual, prepared the tea and walked to the first-class embroidery room.
From time to time, the people who passed by her pointed at her and muttered softly, and when she got closer, they all covered their mouths and turned away.
Mei Niang has long been accustomed to this, I don't know if it's because she is about to become a mother, the cold arrogance in her original personality seems to have been smoothed out, and the opinions of others are no longer important to her.
It's just that there is more gossip today than usual, isn't what happened?
The girls and mothers-in-law in the building are not happy to associate with her, since no one will take the initiative to tell her things, if it has nothing to do with her, if it has nothing to do with her-
Thinking of this, Mei Niang couldn't help but pause, turned her head to look around, and happened to see Mrs. Qin not far away, who was one of the people in the building who was kind to her.
She walked over quickly, grabbed Mrs. Qin and asked, "Mama Qin, but what happened?" ”
Mama Qin has been watching Mei Niang grow up since she was taken in by Yingyue Building, although she is angry with Mei Niang's affairs in her heart, but Mei Niang often helped her do things when she was young, and now Mei Niang is pregnant again, so she can't be ruthless to her in the end.
She sighed and said in a low voice, "Your cousin, what a bastard, a few days ago, I was noisy at the back door, but early this morning, I actually went to the front gate of the building to make trouble, this is not Mama Lu is not there, Fang Caiyue Niangzi and the three of them went out to cook." ”
Mei Niang's face stiffened, and the tea tray she was holding in her hand was almost unstable, Mama Qin saw this and helped her, and persuaded her, "You are pregnant now, don't pay attention to these things, so you can give birth and raise yourself." Moon Lady, they will take care of it, go back quickly. ”
Mei Niang thanked her gratefully, and hurried back to the first-class embroidery room with the tea tray.
The first-class embroidery room was empty.
Recently, because of the new style, the business of Yingyue Building is very good, and Mama Lu almost every day goes to run to various noble mansions without touching the ground, selecting samples for various noble ladies and noble women, doing body measurements, and busy from morning to night.
Today, it happened that Pingwangfu wanted to customize clothes, indicating that An Niangzi would also follow her, so Mama Lu took An Niangzi out of Yingyue Building early in the morning and went to Pingwangfu.
Outside the Full Moon Building.
A man in a blue cotton robe was kneeling on his knees, his face was sad, and he shouted with deep affection, "Mei Niang! No matter how much my cousin is, his intentions for you are indeed visible to the sun and the moon, and the world can be expressed! Now that you have your cousin's heir, how can you bear to let our father and son separate, please go home with your cousin quickly! ”
There were already many passers-by around him, all of whom listened to the gossip with great interest, and commented on the words of the kneeling man even more excitedly.
"It turned out to be an infatuated man! Gee! ”
The three first-class ladies frowned when they walked out of the Yingyue Building, this posture, didn't they plan to let them do business in the Yingyue Building?
Yue Niangzi narrowed her beautiful eyes, and there was a chilling fire burning at the bottom of her eyes, she hooked her lips, walked quickly to the kneeling man, raised her chin and looked at him with her nostrils, "You are the one who deceived the girl's heart and the girl's body, and lied to the cheap man who had a daughter-in-law but lied that he was not married?" ”
Her voice was crisp and neat, and she let the passers-by around her hear it clearly, and suddenly set off a wave of discussion among passers-by.
"It's a long life! I thought it was an infatuated species, but I didn't think it was a despicable and shameless person! Gee! ”
The undisguised voices of passers-by poured into their ears, and the kneeling man's face turned blue and pale, and he raised his head to justify, "Those are all misunderstandings, I am sincere to Mei Niang!" I'm here today to pick her up, I want to give her a name, and I'll marry her as a wife! ”
"Phew!" Yue Niangzi crossed her arms around her chest and sneered, "Now you admit that you are the one who has a daughter-in-law?" Didn't Mei Niang swear that she would be a couple for the rest of her life when she came to lie to us at that time? You can cheat casually about these things, and you can play such a play here today, but what kind of unsightly thoughts do you have? ”
"I—How can I!" The kneeling man's expression flickered, "I'm sincere, I can't bear to see my unborn child without a father, I really came to ask to marry Mei Niang." ”
"Is my cousin serious?"
A cold voice sounded in the crowd, everyone got out of the way, Mei Niang walked out with one hand on her waist, her eyes were like a blade in the night light, cold and seeping.
The kneeling man was overjoyed when he heard this, raised his head and called out affectionately, "Mei Niang!" What my cousin said came from the bottom of my heart, and there was no falsehood! ”
Mei Niang looked at the kneeling man expressionlessly, it was he who deceived her so badly, not to mention herself, but also to the master, and to the Yingyue Building, she suddenly sneered and took out a piece of rice paper from her arms.
"If my cousin's words are true," Mei Niang held the rice paper flat, "and signed this confession and stamped it with a handprint." I, Yingyue Tower, will copy and paste this inside and outside the city and make it public. Would you like to? ”
The kneeling man was stunned, his eyes wide and he was about to read the content written on the rice paper, but the moon lady copied the rice paper, and said with a smile, "I'll read it to everyone." ”
"I, Yuan Hongwen, in order to let Mei Niang, the first-class embroiderer of Yingyue Building, steal the hairpin silk embroidery method to Yulanfang, and deliberately trick her into losing her body and mind. Now that he is repentant, he despises the despicable behavior of Magnolia Fang, and sincerely apologizes to Mei Niang and Yingyue Lou. ”
Yue Niangzi read aloud clearly, her beautiful eyes flowed, and when she saw that the passers-by heard it clearly, she waved the rice paper and said to the kneeling man with a gloomy face, "Since Mei Niang is willing to forgive you, then sign it and seal it, so many people are testifying for you today, but it's a big event of joy, isn't it?" ”
"Mei Niang," the kneeling man ignored Yue Niangzi's banter, and still looked at Mei Niang with a deep love in the past, "Cousin marry you!" But this frankly reads ...... Or forget it? ”
Mei Niang insisted, "After signing the confession, let's talk about something else." ”
"That-" The kneeling man gritted his teeth, "Delete the words related to Magnolia Fang, cousin sign!" There is no need to get involved in the matter between our husband and wife, right? ”
"If it weren't for the boss of Magnolia Fang who took a fancy to my hairpin silk embroidery," Mei Niang was unmoved, "Cousin is afraid that he won't find me, right?" ”
The kneeling man wanted to refute, but when his eyes met Mei Niang's eyes like stagnant water, he couldn't help but shrink back.
Mei Niang tugged at her mouth, "My request has been made clear, and there are so many neighbors who can testify." If my cousin is willing to sign a confession, my Mei Niang will go back with you today. If my cousin is unwilling, please don't come to harass Yingyue Lou in the future. ”
"You, you're really deceiving people too much!" The kneeling man was so angry by the aggressiveness of Yue Niangzi and Mei Niang that he suddenly stood up and flicked his sleeve robe, "I, Yuan Hongwen, just came to ask for marriage because I saw that your orphans and widows were pitiful, but I didn't want you to kick your nose in the face!" Do you still think you are some kind of noble person? Phew! Don't come to me with your belly in the future! ”
