Chapter 174: Low self-esteem
When the servants served the tea and lit the incense burners standing at the four corners of the pavilion, the young man of the Wu family waved his hand and asked the servants who wanted to wait next to him to go down: "There is no need for people to wait here for the time being, you can go down first, and when you continue to leave, put down all the curtains, and you are not allowed to come in without my orders." ”
Although they didn't know the meaning of the Wu family's words, these servants all obediently obeyed the order, and after answering the words, they retreated one after another.
Seeing that the subordinate had left the pavilion and there was no one nearby, the Wu family opened the curtain and looked at the outside for a long time, making sure that he couldn't see the situation inside, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
After walking back to the pavilion, the Wu family said thoughtfully: "You two can take off the cloak...... It's so hot right now, I guess you're not feeling well. After that, he added, "I deliberately observed outside, and I could only see the shadows of people, but I couldn't see your true faces." ”
Since most of the Wu family said so, An Juan and Luo Yelin, who were already a little uncomfortable, took off their cloaks one after another and put them on the chairs next to them.
There are a few plates of dim sum on the table, and not far away there is an ice basin with herbal tea in the pot.
This atmosphere made An Juan breathe a sigh of relief, and directly leaned over and poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them, and then drank his cup of tea as soon as he raised his head.
The women outside the pavilion all noticed the arrival of the Wu family.
They whispered for a long time, and only then did a few women pull and pull the ground together, and shouted in front of the gazebo: "Meet the eldest young master." ”
The appearance of these women is varied, including the local women of the ugly city who have dark complexions, but the whole person is toned and strong, and the weak willow Fufeng who was picked up from the arm city......
Women of various styles are mixed together, and it makes people's eyes dazzle for a while.
These women have the courage to salute the Wu family, but in fact, they have more careful thoughts in their hearts, wanting to climb from the Wu family to the Wu family, and they can also taste the taste of flying Huang Tengda.
Although the second young man of the Wu family is not bad, he loves to collect beauties, and there are too many wives and concubines in the back house to count...... In contrast, the Wu family, who also loves beauty, is much cleaner.
At about the same age, the Wu family only has one wife and two concubines, and has three children, although the back house is not particularly stable, but compared to these countless women, it is much more reliable.
Their careful thinking, the Wu family knows it clearly.
Usually he could still look at their appearance, and they were a little weak, but this time there were two fairy-like characters sitting next to him, and the Wu family was completely out of the mood, so he just nodded in response, and then waved his hand through the gauze curtain: "Okay, you guys go down, have fun." ”
Seeing these early birds retreating in a gloomy manner, the other women on the spot all showed sneering expressions.
There was a best-looking woman who glanced at them disdainfully, and then sorted out the collar and cuffs with the help of her friends, and at the same time did not forget to speak in her voice: "Some people, they don't look good, but their courage is not small, and they don't pee to see what they look like, and they dare to talk to the eldest young master at will?" ”
The few people who were ridiculed by her dared not speak out.
After all, in this back house, it is indeed a good-looking person with a higher status.
This woman is the best-looking one in the second young house of the Wu family, the posture of the whole person is like a blooming peony, which once attracted the eldest young man of the Wu family and the second young man of the Wu family to write a poem for her together, although the quality of the poem is not very good, but it also accurately expresses the appreciation of the two brothers for her appearance.
Because of her good skin, every time the Wu family came, this girl who was more beautiful than a peony could talk to the Wu family, and was even invited to sit in the pavilion for a while, and when she came out, she received a lot of rewards.
No matter how the wives and concubines in the back house gossip, the status of this peony girl is still unshakable.
Hearing the sound of their quarrel outside, the Wu family shook his head helplessly, and explained to Luo Yelin and An Juan: "It is the best-looking woman in the second brother's back house who speaks......
He brought out the appearance of the peony girl in his mind, and wanted to praise her a few words, but after catching a glimpse of An Juan's cheeks, he lost his adjectives for a moment, and could only answer dryly: "But compared to Miss An, it's just that fireflies and Haoyue compete for brilliance." ”
The peony girl had already finished striking the greeting women, and then she stepped forward and saluted through the gauze curtain.
It's a pity that the Wu family used the same perfunctory words to send away the peony girl.
Seeing that everyone around her was laughing, the smile on Peony's face quickly changed to embarrassment, she pursed her lips, and suddenly thought of something, so she said delicately: "I heard that Gongzi invited guests to come, but do you need the little woman to help serve tea?" ”
Those who can be invited here by the Wu family must be people with status, and if they can make a good impression in front of them, it will definitely be helpful for the future.
And since they can come here, these people naturally have a lot of weight in the hearts of the Wu family.
So, wouldn't it be a great courtesy to let her, the most beautiful woman, serve tea and pour water?
Peony's words really entered the heart of the Wu family.
He thought about it, looked around, and then smiled at Luo Yelin and An Juan with some embarrassment: "I'm really embarrassed, I came to me, and I didn't serve the two...... It's my sin. ”
"But let her in? If you don't want to be seen, I'll keep her head down. The Wu family asked.
An Juan and Luo Yelin glanced at each other, and then Luo Yelin spoke first: "Juan'er, what do you think?" ”
The choice was handed over to her again, An Juan moved a little uneasily, then thought for a while, and nodded reluctantly: "Anyway, she is a woman who has been staying in the back house, and she can't spread the news...... Let her in, then, but try not to look up. ”
With An Juan's consent, the Wu family raised his voice to call Peony in: "Okay, you can come in, but I invite a distinguished guest, you must be careful, you can't peep at the true face of the distinguished guest." ”
Hearing this order from the Wu family, Peony's heart moved, and he hurriedly made a perfect humble expression on his face, hunched over and walked into the curtain, his eyes kept staring at the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his head indiscriminately.
"Childe, when the evening comes, there will be fireworks here, and you can stay here and watch the fireworks show." The tone of the Wu family was a little courteous.
"Hmm...... Then it's troublesome for Wu Gongzi, just arrange a yard away from the girls. As soon as Luo Yelin's voice came out, Peony felt her heart tremble, as if a gurgling spring flowed through her heart, so that she couldn't help but remember this voice in her heart.
"By the way, Wu Gongzi, Neiko is good at cooking, if Gongzi doesn't dislike it, you can let her cook a meal, which can be regarded as a thank you to Gongzi, how about it?" After receiving An Xuan's gaze, Luo Yelin continued to speak.
Hearing the word "Neiko", Peony's hand trembled.
She thought it was two men, but she didn't expect it to be a man and a woman, and they were husband and wife......
The thousands of thoughts spreading in my heart all dissipated with the wind, and in the end, all that lingered in Peony's heart was eagerness and unwillingness.
She wanted to see what this man looked like, and she wanted to hook up with him...... But at the same time, she couldn't wait to see what the woman looked like...... It's probably a lot worse than her, and I don't know what courage I have to come to this kind of place.
didn't expect to have the opportunity to eat the dishes made by An Juan, the Wu family was excited for a while, and hurriedly responded: "Okay, good!" I have long heard that Miss An is a well-known chef, and her dishes are so delicious that they can bite people's tongues...... It is an honor for the villain to be able to taste it today! ”
Listening to the Wu family's statement, this woman is still a chef?
Grilled by smoke and fire all day long, her skin must be very different, maybe she is still a yellow-faced woman......
Peony picked up the teapot and gestured to pour water, while quickly glancing at the hand of the man on the left.
Fair and transparent, beautiful as the masterpiece of the gods.
She took a deep breath and didn't dare to look any more, but the urge in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.
When she retreated to the corner, about to find a chance to see the appearance of the two guests clearly, a female voice came to her: "Wu Gongzi is really ridiculous, I can only cook a few dishes, but I am ugly in front of Gongzi." ”
This female voice is completely different from the hoarse she imagined, with a bit of lingering softness in the crispness, with Peony's experience over the years, if this woman is more charming, she can reach the point of "making people soft as soon as she opens her mouth".
It's not a woman who is a personal old pearl yellow......
Peony gritted her teeth nervously and kept retreating, but she didn't notice the ice basin behind her, she tripped over it all of a sudden, and sat directly on her back on the ground.
The sudden incident caused the other three people in the pavilion to panic a little, and they hurriedly stood up and went to Peony's side, trying to help her up.
And in this case, Peony clearly saw the faces of An Juan and Luo Yelin.
Emotions such as amazement, inferiority and consternation directly surrounded her, making her not know what year it was tonight for a while, and the whole person was in a state of ignorance, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Thinking that she was stupid, the Wu family called the doctor here to come and see the situation of Peony.
Seeing Peony happily entering, but came out with a panicked expression, the women around the pavilion couldn't help but show a gloating smile.
But in the past, the peony that would explode like * with a cup of ridicule was extremely quiet this time, and there was even a trepidation in his eyes that had not faded.
The doctor came to check on Peony's condition and said that she was just overly frightened and nothing serious.
After checking Peony's body, the doctor picked up his things and left, while Peony was surrounded by a few friends who were playing well and asked about the situation: "Peony, what's wrong with you, suddenly lost your soul?" ”
