Chapter 308: Defection (Second Update)
It's a pity that their master and servant plan is very good, but Mama Gui is not a fool, especially Mu San, an old Jianghu person, the green cloth carriage entered the city, only turned around everywhere, and then turned around to the residential alleys in the northwest of the city, spent two taels of silver, and quickly rented three wings and lived for half a month.
The owner's surname is Cao, is the son of the mother and son, the son Cao Dalang at the gate of the city stall to sell noodles, treat his duty, Cao Lao Niang do some embroidery work all day long, supplement the family, but also very enthusiastic and refreshing, as soon as I heard that Gui Mama several people came from other places, the nephew is about to return to the Zhenbei Army, the Cao family mother and son are even more enthusiastic, that Cao Dalang will run back to inform if he hears a little news at the city gate, Mrs. Cao is not stingy, food and clothing are very thoughtful, Gui Mama is also a shrewd, good at winning people's hearts, less than two days, Everyone gets along as if they were a family.
Therefore, no matter how many people Yu brought with his mother-in-law, he turned the inn upside down, and he didn't find any trace of them, but he faintly doubted whether he was dazzled that day...
This night, the general's wife received the news again that the Zhenbei Army was already a hundred miles away and would be able to enter the city at noon tomorrow, so she became more and more anxious, stretched out her hand and dropped a few tea bowls, and felt angry, and scolded Yu Pozi, who was huddled aside.
Mrs. Yu also felt annoyed, but how dare she talk back to her master, hurriedly knelt down and admitted her mistake, and finally served new tea, poured a cup and held it in front of the general's wife, "Mrs. is angry, it's all the old slave's fault, maybe that day is dazzling, I didn't see it clearly, but let Mrs. follow anxious." That Lingfeng City was thousands of miles away, and Gui Pozi was not in good health, so she must have rushed back day and night, and she would not have arrived so early. ”
The general's wife took two sips of tea, threw the tea bowl on the table, let out a long breath, and said, "That's it, remember to be cautious next time, and go to my uncle to say again, keep an eye on the city gates these days, if that Gui Pozi really comes back, you must take it for me." ”
"Yes, ma'am, I'll go to the old Numa Mountain."
Mrs. Yu hurriedly trotted out, the general's wife thought about it, tidied up her dress, and took the two maids out of the yard, and went straight to the small courtyard in the southwest corner, and saw from a distance that the nightshade at the door bloomed faintly in the moonlight, she couldn't help but sneer, her son put the dead girl on the tip of his heart that day, just because she loves flowers, she actually searched for this nightshade everywhere and planted it around her yard with her own hands, so that she also has flowers to appreciate at night, Lan'er because of this, I don't know how many times she cried secretly.
After this is over, I will definitely shovel all these flowers and replace them with Lan'er's favorite peony...
She was thinking like this, when she heard someone next to her shouting softly, "Auntie! ”
With the prestige, Roulan is standing under the willow tree with two little maids, wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt, her black hair is coiled into a hundred flowers, and she has inserted a golden silk double luan and a little cui step, her appearance is delicate, her body is slender, and she looks more and more beautiful under the moonlight.
The general's wife couldn't help but smile and said, "Lan'er, why didn't you go to bed earlier?" I came out so late, and I was careful to blow the cold wind and had a headache. ”
Roulan stepped forward to help her aunt's arm, and said with a smile, "Auntie, how can Lan'er be so delicate, she just had dinner, she came out to walk around to eliminate food, she was going to visit her aunt, but she didn't expect to meet her here." ”
The general's wife laughed even more happily, and quipped, "Lan'er heard that your cousin was coming back, so she couldn't sleep with joy." ”
Rou Lan blushed, bowed her head shyly, stomped her feet and said in disgust, "Auntie, you are bullying Lan'er again." ”
The general's wife patted her hand lovingly, and said with a smile, "Good boy, aunt is serious, your cousin will be here at noon tomorrow, remember to dress up seriously when the time comes, and let your cousin see, I haven't seen you for a few months, our Lan'er will be more beautiful." ”
Roulan's face was so red that she seemed to be dripping blood, twisted her body unrelentingly, and said, "Aunt still said this, Lan'er ignored you." She said that she was about to take the maid away, but was pulled by the general's wife, and then pushed the maid to avoid a few steps away, and then whispered, "Auntie has something to tell you." ”
"Auntie, say it, Lan'er listens to her aunt in everything."
The general's wife nodded with satisfaction, "Auntie is also for your good, the dead girl who lives in this yard, my aunt will definitely not let her come back, but your uncle and cousin will definitely ask about the incident that day after they come back, I can't say that we have to find someone to help cover up, that green stamen's thoughts, you are afraid that you also know a thing or two, it is better to throw a name to her, and when this matter is over, we will take care of her again." ”
Roulan's half-drooping eyes flashed with a touch of annoyance and cruelty, and the corners of her eyes swept towards the faint candlelight in the courtyard, but the words that came out of her mouth were soft and cowardly, "Auntie, Lan'er is afraid that she will be in the future... Well, will my cousin love her more because of Sister Yue..."
"No!" Where is the general's wife willing to let her flower-like and weak niece follow the fear, and immediately took her in her arms, her voice was resolute and cold, "Even if you give her a second room, it won't hinder, after the wind has passed, any malaria or wind chill can send her away, she is a slave who has no relatives and no reason, is there anyone who can't stand up for her?" ”
"Well, Lan'er listens to her aunt."
The general's wife let go of her niece, tidied up her dress, and said, "It's windy outside, go back, with your aunt here, Lan'er just bother dressing up, don't worry about anything else." ”
Roulan blushed again, saluted and thanked her, took the maid, and slowly walked back.
The general's wife saw her niece's figure disappear into the night, so she stepped into the small courtyard...
Green Rui raised these days, the ribs are much better, although they can walk slowly, but raise their hands to do something, or the pain is unbearable, at this time I feel thirsty, reach out to pour water, I didn't expect the teapot to be cold, there is no half drop of water in it, she slammed the teapot on the table in annoyance, and scolded, "This cheap hoof, I can't catch a shadow every day, where do I gossip?" ”
As soon as her words fell, she heard someone outside the door say, "Miss Green, are you looking for a spring warbler?" ”
Lu Rui heard this voice as if it was the general's wife, and immediately straightened her back, and the look in her eyes changed for a long time before she went to open the door, and said with a reluctant smile, "When will Madame arrive at our small courtyard, ask the maid to come in advance, and the slave and maid will go to the door to greet you." ”
The general's wife entered the door, walked around a few steps, looked at the furnishings in the house, and said casually, "My own yard, my own people, I want to come and walk, and I have to make a call to the ward in advance, which family's rules are these?" ”
Lu Rui's face turned red when she was choked, and her smiling face was even more reluctant, and she said, "Madame is too careful, how dare the slave and maid be disrespectful." ”
The general's wife sat down at the table, glanced at the teapot with the lid turned over, and said, "Go and change the pot for a new tea, and I will have a good gossip with Miss Green." ”
The two little maids who came with her immediately stepped forward, went out with the teapot, and closed the door tightly.
Midori couldn't guess what new tricks the general's wife had, so she stood aside in silence and waited to deal with it.
Sure enough, the general's wife was impatient to go around the bend, and said directly, "The girl was looking for Chunying just now, I know where this girl is at this time?" ”
"Oh, Madame knows where this girl is lazy, then please tell the slave maid, the slave and maid went to call her back, and teach her a few lessons, she just saw that the grandmother was not in front of her, so she left the rules behind." Lu Rui carefully answered, and even carried Gui Mama out, in case Madame used her identity to force her.
The general's wife sneered, pointed to the chair next to her, and said, "Miss Green, don't be careful, let's sit down first." ”
Lu Rui stood for a while, her ribs were already aching faintly, so she was not polite, thanked her and sat down, and the general's wife said, "A few days ago, I had nothing to do, and I talked about Chunying, only to know that this girl fell in love with Wu Shiyi, and I was having a headache for the marriage of the guards in the house, and it just happened to fulfill her infatuation, and when the time came, I asked her deed of sale from Mama Gui to come, so that the two of them could stay together." The girl was overjoyed, and she was afraid that she was busy embroidering the wedding dress at this time. ”
Lu Rui's face changed instantly, this general's wife didn't mean to say that Chunying had defected...
Sure enough, the general's wife's next sentence confirmed her guess, "Miss Green Rui is also a smart person, your young lady is now married, and she has forgotten everything, that is, the young general came back, and learned that she is still alive, and we can't marry a broken flower and willow back in the north of the general's mansion, and you, the maid who dowried, I am afraid that you can only grow old with the master in that mountain village." It's a pity, you girl like a flower and jade, I originally thought that your body was very suitable for birth and raising, and if you went into the lie'er room to serve, you could also spread the branches and leaves for our martial arts family..."
Lu Rui's face kept changing, thinking of the great change in temperament, no longer trusting her young lady, thinking of the heroic man she had secretly admired for many years, and thinking of the lingering love with him in the future, her breathing gradually became heavy, and she was silent for a long time, and finally raised her head and said, "Madam, if you have something to say, please say it directly, Lu Rui just wants to be able to serve the young general..."
The general's wife raised her eyes, and smiled proudly and happily...
The two talked in a low voice, and there were two maids guarding the yard, feeling very secretive, but they didn't know that there was a person on the roof who was half-lying, with a straw stick in his mouth.
Soon, the general's wife took the maid out of the courtyard gate, and he also got up and moved back to the roof tiles, and a few of them disappeared into the night.
Mama Gui was already old, and she was afraid that she would not be able to catch up with the general to return to the city along the way, so she was even more tired after traveling day and night.
This night, she was taking Xiaocui to tidy up her clothes, Mu San knocked on the door and came in, drank two sips of tea, and told them all the things she heard in the general's mansion.
The old lady was immediately furious, her eyes were red with hatred, and she gritted her teeth and said, "These two cheap maids, they actually dare to judge the master, it is really the entrance of the vegetable market when we Anguohou Mansion is the entrance of the vegetable market, come if you want, leave if you want, and want to sell yourself to marry, good, really good..."
Xiao Cui was afraid that the old lady would be so angry that she would make an old mistake, so she immediately stepped forward to stroke her chest and persuaded, "Mama, don't be angry, don't be angry, we haven't finished the things that Miss explained, Mama can't lie down anymore." ”
Mu San also smiled and persuaded, "If we don't know about this, it will be really tricky for Lu Rui to suddenly retort at that time, but now that we know their details, it will be much easier to deal with them." ”
