Chapter 13: Courtship
CHAPTER XIII
After Shang Yueyue returned to the Shang Mansion, he never went to Bird Hutong again, and stayed in the mansion with nothing to do.
"Miss, Yuzhi asks to see you."
Shang Yuyue didn't need to turn his head to know who was speaking, "Xiao Ci, you said that this Yuzhi comes to me every day, what is your mind?" ”
Yuzhi is the personal maid of the third aunt, it is funny to say, since Qin'er and Die'er left the house, the originally quiet aunts have come to her in front of her in a different way, all of them praise their own girls for how clever and stable, how loyal, she was so entangled that she put on the shelf of the eldest lady, and several aunts were suddenly stunned, but one girl was not so easy to dismiss.
It was Yuzhi.
is an aunt's girl, it stands to reason that Shang Yuyue can send people away with a word, but as the eldest lady, Shang Yuyue can't be angry with her, why?
Because on the day she fell into the water, it was Shang Jinyan who rescued her from the water, but she was out of breath at that time, it was Yuzhi who pinched her and pressed her chest, and she actually rescued her from being angry.
Because of this kindness, Shang Jinyan had intended to thank Yuzhi again, but Yuzhi refused, saying that he just wanted to serve by the third aunt's side until he was old. For this reason, Shang Jinyan has a lot of love for the third aunt.
Now, Shang Yuyue can't figure it out, Yuzhi doesn't want silver, she doesn't want to be free, she hints intentionally or unintentionally that she wants to stay by her side, what is she trying to do?
Xiao Ci's eyes flashed, tilted his head and said with a smile: "Miss, I heard that the third aunt eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, is it that Yuzhi has heard enough of the sound of wooden fish and wants to be quiet by your side?" ”
Shang Yuyue glared at Xiao Zi angrily, "Let her in." ”
"Miss, please help the slave."
As soon as he entered the door, Yuzhi knelt in front of Shang Yuyue, although he was begging for someone, but the peace in his eyes was not like the prayer or humility that he should have when he begged for someone.
Shang Yuyue asked with interest, "Oh? Let's talk about what's going on. ”
Yuzhi kowtowed and said: "The third aunt wants to marry the slave maid to his nephew, the slave maid has already promised in front of the Bodhisattva, she will never marry in this life, but the third aunt must marry the slave maid, the marriage date has been set for three days, the slave maid is now the third aunt's maid, life and death are decided by the third aunt, and now the slave and maid can't do it, so I asked the young lady to come with me." ”
Yuzhi said a long word, and the calm in her eyes never changed.
Isn't it supposed to be a pear blossom crying with rain? She spoke so calmly, as if she was telling someone else's story.
"You are very indifferent like this, and you shouldn't be so ...... about marrying."
"The slave and maid have made a plan, if the young lady helps the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid will be your maid, and she will repay you as a cow and a horse for the rest of her life. If the young lady is embarrassed, the slave and maid will not force it, and a white silk will be enough. ”
When Shang Yuyue heard this, she saw that her eyes were firm, and then she straightened her face, "What you said is true?" ”
"The slave is willing to swear a poisonous oath."
"No need," Shang Yuyue groaned slightly, "How about you being a second-class girl in my courtyard?" ”
Yuzhi's calm eyes lit up, and she kowtowed to Shang Yuyue heavily, "Thank you, Miss." ”
After agreeing to Yuzhi, Shang Yuyue was too lazy to deal with the third aunt, so she directly handed over the matter to Xiao Ci.
Xiao Ci has been by Shang Yueyue's side for more than a month, and she seems to be cute and ignorant, but she is the most clever, and she is not ambiguous at all.
On this day, Xiao Zi looked at Shang Yueyue, and stopped talking several times.
"What's wrong?" Shang Yuyue put down the music sheet in her hand and asked with some amusement: "Hasn't Yuzhi's matter been resolved for several days, could it be that the third aunt is making trouble?" ”
Xiao Ci shook his head, and his heart was crossed, so he opened his mouth: "Chen Shaoyou went to Bird Hutong today to propose marriage." ”
The music score in his hand fell to the ground suddenly, leaving Shang Yue's stiff hand motionless, "What did you say?" ”
"Didn't you ask the slave's father to pay attention to Chen Shaoyou's movements? Just received the news that Chen Shaoyou went to Tang Yuan's house in Bird Hutong to ask for relatives. ”
Tang Yuan's house in Bird Alley?
Shang Yue Huoran got up, her eyes were full of forbearant mist, she didn't take two steps, she paused her body embarrassmently, I don't know how long she stood like this, and when she spoke again, her voice was hoarse, "You go out first, and tell me later, the result of his proposal." ”
"Yes."
Knowing that Tang Ning would not agree to his proposal, he still couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable for a while, why did he ask Tang Ning for it?
Obviously, in this life, Tang Ning has nothing to do with her at the Penglai Inn.
Unless...... They already know each other!
But in her previous life, she and Chen Shaoyou obviously had no intersection before they came to the Friends Inn.
Is it that in this life, because of Rong Jin's rebirth, the trajectory of the previous life has changed?
After sitting alone by the piano case for an afternoon, when it got dark, Xiao Ci lit the lamp and said to Shang Yuyue: "Miss, you haven't had dinner yet, the slave maid has warmed some chicken soup for you, you can taste it." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and took out a cup of chicken soup in the food box behind him, and bursts of fragrance came into Shang Yuyue's nose.
Shang Yuyue took the chicken soup and took a sip gently, "There is no news coming, it's still ......"
Or, did Chen Shaoyou really marry Tang Ning?
In fact, she was completely sure in her heart that Tang Ning would not marry Chen Shaoyou.
In her previous life, Ning Jinmo often talked to her about Rong Jin, the relationship between them was excellent, from beginning to end, Ning Jinmo only had one woman, Rong Jin, even if Tang Ning married Ning Jinmo in the years later, the two lived separately, it can be said that whether it was before or after Rong Jin's death, Ning Jinmo's body and mind were only Rong Jin.
No man would have done this if he hadn't loved him deeply.
Therefore, even if Tang Ning now knows that Chen Shaoyou will be in a high position in the future, she will never marry him.
In front of Ning Jinmo's affection, a Chen Shaoyou, how can he be better than Ning Jinmo in Rong Jin's heart?
looked at the stars in the sky with a blank gaze, but she was still a little scared, afraid that no matter how deep her feelings were, after years of precipitation, would rong jin choose to forget ning jinmo, and ...... Accept Chen Shaoyou!
Although Xiao Zi was not very clear about Shang Yueyue's apprehension, she also knew that her young lady cared about Chen Shaoyou, so she said with a smile: "Chen Gongzi's proposal to marry was politely rejected by the Tang family girl, and now the entire Queqiao Street has spread all over it, but I am afraid that before dawn, the entire Ningcheng will know that Chen Tanhua's marriage proposal was rejected." ”
As soon as the soup spoon in her hand was loosened, Shang Yuyue exhaled a low breath, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, she had never suffered so much from Chen Shaoyou in her previous life, just because she knew that he would not abandon her or want her, even if the two of them later reconciled, it was the result of her own three letters of begging.
