Chapter 159: Rui Wang's Mansion
Song Wu'er took Chun'er and Cha Xiang to Zhao's courtyard, and Zhao was chatting with the Song family's wives in the main house, and when she saw Song Wu'er come in, Zhao's face smiled.
I don't know how these aunts embarrass their mother, my mother's face will be so ugly. Song Wu'er looked at the others, and several of Song Wu'er's aunts all lowered their heads and drank tea.
"Wu'er, what's the matter with looking for your mother?"
Song Wu'er was depressed for several days, and finally came out of her yard today to relax, and Zhao was a little relieved.
"Mother, I heard that today's Lantern Festival, taking advantage of the lack of people during the day, I want to go out for a walk, and I will come back in the evening."
The Zhao family doesn't want to detain Song Wu'er, she is in a bad mood these days, and it's good to go out for a walk. Just wanted to agree, but before he could speak, he was preempted by the woman next to him.
"Sister-in-law, Wu'er is spoiled by you, the husband is chosen among the princes, and if you are in a bad mood, you can go out of the house regardless of the rules, we have no opinion, but the heirs of our mansions are also the heirs of the Song family, my Zhen'er was divorced by the cousins of the Liu family because Wu'er offended King Yong'an, and now if you don't agree to divide a few shops into each mansion, we really can't live."
It was the daughter-in-law of Song Shipu's third brother's family who spoke, and the daughter-in-law of the fourth brother's family and the daughter-in-law of several cousins' families were sitting in the house.
Song Wu'er is familiar with her third and fourth aunts, but the other families have only seen them when they went to the temple last time to ask for marriage. Usually everyone is not common, but when they come to ask for money, they are always extraordinary.
When she heard Wu'er's second aunt complaining, she brought Wu'er, Zhao's face was pale, if the fourth aunt hadn't stopped the third aunt in time, Zhao heard one more bad sentence about Wu'er, and she immediately threw up her sleeves and left.
Song Wu'er held Zhao's hand and gave her a reassuring look. She faced the third aunt and asked innocently, "Third aunt, isn't the third uncle a third-grade official?" Why can't you live because of Wu'er? How do those who are inferior to the third, fourth, and fifth grades live? How did the common people survive? Wu'er doesn't read much, so she asked the third aunt for advice. ”
The third aunt was choked and waved her hand impatiently at Song Wu'er, "The adults are chatting, isn't Wu'er going to play on the street?" Hurry up, come back early, don't be bumped into by others and lose the face of the Song family. ”
The more they drove her away, the more she didn't leave. Song Wu'er sat next to Song with a panicked expression.
"No, Wu'er can't go, I heard that the third aunt meant that my cousin was divorced because I was divorced, and I couldn't leave it alone. I also hope that the third aunt will tell me the specific reason, and I will go to the Liu family to intercede. Concubine Liu treats me very well, she will not allow the Song family to be bullied. ”
The third aunt looked at Song Wu'er expressionlessly, always feeling that she looked stupid, but in fact, she was making things difficult everywhere. She shouldn't have mentioned Song Wu'er just now. Her Zhen'er was divorced because of Song Wu'er, and it wasn't that the branch of the Liu family thought their family was poor.
The Zhao family didn't want Song Wu'er to be disturbed by these things, these branches of the Song family were like bottomless pits, although they came to entangle from time to time, she could still get rid of these people.
She patted Song Wu'er's hand, "Aren't you going out to play?" Let's go quickly, it will be dark in a while, wait for my mother to clean up this place, and Wu'er will come to eat with my father and mother in the evening. ”
Song Wu'er squinted her eyes and smiled, her mother's temper was notoriously hot, if she only came to ask for silver taels, she might still accompany these people
After a while, who let this third aunt talk nonsense.
"By the way, if others recognize you, leave quickly, lest any bad people have their minds."
Song Wu'er took out a silk scarf from her sleeve and put it on her face to show Zhao, "Don't worry, mother, no one will recognize me." ”
She didn't want to deal with these aunts anymore, and from her mother's words just now, Song Wu'er could tell that these aunts were afraid that they wouldn't be able to take away a copper plate.
Each of them has his own official position and his own mansion, and the Song family has no obligation to raise these rice worms.
"Mother, I'm leaving."
Song Wu'er turned to leave, and when she passed the third aunt, she raised her eyebrows at the third aunt with a face cover, and the third aunt looked at Zhao angrily and wanted her to reprimand Song Wu'er, but Zhao's one look passed, and the third aunt was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak.
Riding out of the Song Mansion in a carriage, Song Wu'er leaned on the window and looked at the pedestrians on the street and the lanterns sold on the street, there are not many people now, but it is a little difficult for the carriage to drive.
"Stop! It's too slow, I'll get down and walk on my own. ”
"Miss, it's slow to walk by yourself, you can watch it in the carriage, if you have a favorite lantern, the slave will buy it for you."
Chun'er's face was full of worry, she moved the tea fragrance next to her, and wanted to let the tea fragrance help persuade her, who knew that the tea fragrance's mind had already flown to the lanterns on the street stall.
Realizing that Chun'er was moving her, Cha Xiang turned her head and saw that the carriage had stopped, Song Wu'er's brows were dyed with sorrow, Cha Xiang put away the smile on her face, and quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake.
"Miss atonement, that's what Chun'er said."
At this time, the people behind could not move because the carriage stopped, and they began to complain. Song Wu'er simply pushed the door and got out of the carriage by herself, "What is it, did you hear what Chun'er said?" If this delay continues, the people on the street will have to knock the carriage away. My mother has found so many people to protect me, so you can just walk on both sides of me. ”
Song Wu'er, who was covered with a veil, had already drifted to the roadside stall, and ran to look at the mask for a while, and then went to buy two lanterns.
"I'm hungry, let's go to the Drunken Red Mansion for a meal!"
The business of the drunken red mansion has been very good, and I don't know if there is no location. Song Wu'er walked into the restaurant with the maid, and before she could open her mouth, she saw Xiao Er running over, "Guest officer, there is no place anymore, please go back!" ”
Song Wu'er was a little unwilling, she wanted to eat something outside today, "Is there no private room upstairs?" I can add money. ”
Xiao Er's face was full of apologies, "It's the Lantern Festival today, and this room was booked a month ago." ”
Song Wu'er sighed, forget it, let's go home. Seeing Song Wu'er walk out, many people stopped and turned around in disappointment.
"Wait a minute, young lady."
Before he went too far, the shopkeeper chased him out.
"Miss, our boss said that he has a fate with you, and he plans to give you the room reserved for himself, please go upstairs!"
The guest next to him immediately showed dissatisfaction, and a young man who was about twelve or thirteen years old pointed to the shopkeeper and asked: "You said that there is fate, there is fate, this young master and this young lady are back and forth, why is this young master not destined person, the owner of the restaurant is not interested in seeing it, miss, you are a thousand."
Don't be fooled. ”
Song Wu'er relieved herself at this time, just now the shopkeeper said that the boss felt that the two were destined and was willing to let the room, Song Wu'er thought that the owner of this restaurant was Lou Lichen, and she didn't know why she thought like this, probably because the jewelry workshop had the same experience.
Now listening to this young man say this, Song Wu'er feels a little reasonable, but she is masked, and no one knows that she is Song Wu'er.
Xiao Er was a little embarrassed, but just now the shopkeeper asked him to invite this young lady in, but he didn't expect the boss to be slandered.
The young man rolled his eyes, stepped forward and said to Song Wu'er: "This young lady, if you don't dislike it, we can have a room, so that Young Master Ben can protect you." ”
Looking at the young man who looked immature but was about to surpass him, Song Wu'er raised his eyebrows and asked, "So now you are interested in me?" ”
The young man paused for a moment, and then laughed, "Young Master Ben is not interested in an old woman like you, he just wants to find a private room." ”
actually said that she was old, if it weren't for the fact that there were many people here, Song Wu'er would have to scold.
A group of people blocked the door, and the people sitting inside to eat looked at it curiously, and the shopkeeper quickly explained: "Our boss only invited this young lady, and asked this young master to come back another day." Miss can rest assured, our boss is an absolute gentleman, usually does not come to the store often, today I don't know if I am not there, just the shopkeeper's orders, and the small ones are just here to run errands. ”
Lou Lichen, in this case, it is definitely Lou Lichen! Otherwise, it was opened by his so-called friend, but wasn't he punished to patrol the streets? It's definitely going to be busy today, so I shouldn't be here.
The young man was anxious, pointed to the nose of the shopkeeper and said, "Do you know who I am?" Open your dog's eyes and show me. ”
As he spoke, the young man took off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to Xiao Er.
After seeing it clearly, Xiao Er felt that he was really unlucky today, isn't this the jade pendant of the guests of the Drunken Red Mansion? How can it be in the hands of a child, but the shopkeeper can't help but listen to his orders!
"The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, it turns out that the distinguished guest is here, but the room is indeed the last, why don't you be with this young lady and this young master?"
What does that mean? The restaurant is not Lou Lichen's? Is it this little kid? So who was the one who invited you in just now?
Song Wu'er was crazy in her heart, but she still accepted it gently.
When he entered the house with the boy, the boy waved his hand to Xiao Eryi, "Bring up your best dishes." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly retreated, and after a while, a table of sumptuous dishes was served. The young man didn't rush to move his chopsticks, he kept staring at Song Wu'er, and only after staring at Song Wu'er embarrassed did he ask, "Who are you, do you know the boss here?" It's quiet here, are you going to take off your veil? ”
Song Wu'er shook her head and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The young man clenched his fists and reported his identity, "Mo Lianyu, the second son of the Ruiwang Mansion in the capital, since you know the boss here, you must also know my eldest brother, right?" ”
I don't know at all! Rui Wangfu has heard of it, Rui Wang Ye should support Lou Jingyuan, right? Who is the son of the Narui Palace? Could it be Lou Lichen's good brother? Opened a restaurant and a jewelry workshop?
Song Wu'er shook her head, indicating that she didn't know anything.
Mo Lianyu's curiosity was raised all of a sudden, "Wu Qing, go down and ask the shopkeeper what's going on!" ”
His brother has never been close to women, and his parents are almost worried about his brother's family, and now a girl suddenly appeared, maybe it was his sister-in-law!
Thinking about it, Mo Lianyu pushed a few delicious dishes on the table to Song Wu'er, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law! Eat vegetables! ”
Song Wu'er frowned, "Don't call people around!" ”
