Chapter 47: A Veritable Grouting Steamed Bun (13)
Just now they talked about Tian Da and what abduction, Xiao Pepper couldn't understand anything, but when the painter finished painting the portrait, she poked her head and took a look, and was immediately stunned - isn't that Wu De? ?
She endured the doubts in her heart, and finally waited for the official to leave, and quickly dragged Shen Yiyi into the room.
"Miss, what's going on? Why does the official call you Miss Shen? Why do you say that there are gangsters who have abducted them? Why did they paint a portrait of Wood Der? ”
Little Pepper's series of questions made Shen Yiyi laugh out loud: "Are you '100,000 whys'?" ”
100,000 why? Pepper blinked.
Shen Yiyi pinched her face and told her what happened in the post house today.
Little Pepper was startled when she heard this, screamed, and finally looked at Shen Yiyi with resentment and said, "Miss, you are really calm enough, you won't talk until now." ”
Before the official came, how did she know if this could be done accurately? Shen Yiyi said: "I was hungry just now, how can I have the strength to speak when I am hungry." ”
Little Pepper carefully pondered what she had just said, and exclaimed in surprise: "Miss, since we were abducted, can we take off the hijab?" ”
"Yes, you can pick it." Shen Yiyi said, and took off the hijab first.
Little Pepper pulled off the hijab vigorously and threw it on the ground: "I don't want to wear this thing anymore, it's inconvenient to do anything!" ”
After she finished speaking, she walked around the room excitedly, and kept saying: "Why didn't I think of it, elopement can also be said to be abducted, anyway, we left Wuchang Mansion quietly, what is the specific situation, who knows?" ”
Shen Yiyi said: "I originally thought that if the grouting steamed buns I made won the favor of the prefect, I would rely on this credit to tell the prefect about my abduction and beg him to make decisions for me." Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to meet Miss Hu in the hall today, and all the cumbersome processes were saved, and the effect was better and more convincing. ”
"Why is Miss Hu so bad?" Little Pepper complained, "She has no grievances with you, why did she force you to lift your hijab?" Could it be that she wants to take you back to Wu De as a concubine? ”
No grievances? Shen Yiyi said: "She is the young lady of Jin Guofu, and she once proposed to Cai Gongzi, don't you know?" ”
"Is that her? Hu Ying?! Little Pepper was dumbfounded, "No wonder! No wonder! I always only knew that her surname was Hu, and I didn't think about it elsewhere, her father was the third master of the Jin State Mansion, how did he go to Fuyang County to be the magistrate? ”
You ask me, who do I ask? Shen Yiyi couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. This girl's heart is too thick, she has lived in Fuyang County for a whole year, and she doesn't know the details of "Shen Yiyi's" love rival. But also, if she wasn't careless, why didn't she notice that "Shen Yiyi" had changed people until now?
It can be seen that there are two sides to everything, and human character is no exception.
Little Pepper was excited for a while, and began to think about more questions: "Miss, Wu De is about to be wanted, can we go home?" ”
"I was about to tell you about it." Shen Yiyi beckoned her over and sat on the edge of the bed together, "The prefect said that he would send someone to send us back, but I refused." ”
"What?!" As soon as Little Pepper sat down, she stood up abruptly again, "Miss, why?!" Don't you want to go home? Do you want to nest in this little foot shop for the rest of your life? ”
Shen Yiyi didn't answer her, but asked her instead: "Do you think the Shen family will believe that I was abducted?" ”
Xiao Pepper said without hesitation: "I will definitely believe it, even if I don't believe it in my heart, I will believe it in my mouth, after all, the reputation of abduction is much better than elopement." ”
"Then will they forgive me completely and accept me?" Shen Yiyi asked again.
"This ......," Little Pepper didn't dare to say, "this, this is hard to say...... After all, a year has passed, and there must be many girls in the Shen family who have been affected by your reputation for elopement, some may be dismissed, some cannot find their in-laws, and some are abandoned by their in-laws...... Even if they don't sink you, they won't make you feel better......"
"Isn't this the end of it? Why should we go home if we have a hard time coming home? Shen Yiyi spread her hands and said, by the way, she corrected in her heart, it was "Shen Yiyi" who affected the girl of the Shen family, not her.
Little Pepper was silent.
When Shen Yiyi saw her like this, she suddenly remembered something: "Do you miss your father?" "She's really confused, although Little Pepper is a maid, most of them have a father.
Little Pepper shook her head decisively: "No, I don't have a father!" ”
No parents? Picked up? Shen Yiyi was a little strange, but since she said so herself, she didn't ask deeply.
Little Pepper sat for a while and stood up: "I have to work, you have to live in Hangzhou Mansion for a long time, then I have to make some money." ”
"Go ahead." Shen Yiyi waved her hand.
At this moment, Li Gui's voice sounded outside the door: "Miss Lin, Miss Lin, there is another official errand outside!" ”
Why is it here again? Little Pepper's heart hung up all of a sudden, could it be that the prefect recognized Wu De and wanted to protect him, right? After all, he is a newcomer.
------------------
In the small courtyard to the west of the post house, on the table in the main hall, there is a portrait spread out, Hu Hengxiu and Hu Ying stand on both sides of the table, looking down.
It's really like it! Hu Hengxiu patted the drawing paper: "This Shen Yiyi is really a good lie and a good story." ”
knew that she was lying and making up stories, but she didn't cooperate with her! Hu Ying kept a straight face and didn't speak.
"Do you know what she told the official?" Hu Hengxiu said, "She didn't mention Wu De's name, and she didn't mention his identity, except for this portrait, she is almost nonsense." ”
This Hu Ying couldn't understand: "Why? ”
"Because she was 'abducted'!" Hu Hengxiu sighed, "A woman who has been abducted and would rather die than obey naturally doesn't know anything." ”
To increase the veracity of the lie? Hu Ying couldn't help but sneer: "That's really congratulations to her, the lies made up are seamless." ”
"Seamless? Not necessarily. Hu Hengxiu said, "As long as you have the heart, you can still dig up a lot of loopholes in this matter." ”
"Really?" Hu Ying's eyes lit up.
Knowing her daughter Mo Ruo's father, Hu Hengxiu knew what she was thinking when she saw her like this, and scolded: "Why don't you understand the situation until now?" You are now her savior, we are grasshoppers on the same rope with her, and if her story is singled out, we are liars too! ”
Hu Ying's anger, which was so easy to suppress today, suddenly came up again: "Dad, listen to what you mean, we still have to help her check and fill in the gaps?!" ”
