Chapter 3 Zhou
In the back hall, because Wei Changying and Shen Zanghui's uncle and sister-in-law went inside to visit Shen Zangfeng, Gu Rouzhang and Duanmu Xinmiao, Deng Wanwan's three 'female' dependents and Deng Zongqi were left, and Shen Chufu's 'women' accompanied them to chat without a word, and condolences were the road.
It's just that I didn't say a few words about this hard work - Duanmu Xinmiao slept all the way, and now he woke up, but the 'spirit' was very poor, and he made a few perfunctory noises absent-mindedly, and the unkind young lady who inherited his teacher directly interrupted everyone's topic and asked herself: "Have you prepared a house for us?" ”
Zhou hurriedly said: "Ready!" When I received the news earlier, I had someone clean it up, burning the hot kang every day to dissipate the cold. It's just that the west is cold and bitterly cold, and all kinds of utensils are not complete, so I'm afraid I'll snub you. ”
Duanmu Xinmiao waved his hand and said generously: "It's nothing, who still expects to come to Xiliang to enjoy it?" Although this was the truth, it still made everyone embarrassed for a while, but Duanmu Xinmiao didn't feel it, and then asked, "Take me to the house first, you can toss me along the way...... Bend, you're not a wind chill? Do you want to go to my house together, and I'll give you a 'medicine'? "She brought her own belongings, and she also brought a batch of commonly used medical appliances and rare herbs in Xiliang.
Deng Wanwan came all the way to make sure the safety of his only brother, and now that he saw that Deng Zongqi was all right, he was overjoyed, although he still had a little cough, how could he be willing to part with his brother? At that moment, he said: "Thank you Sister Duanmu, it's just that I still want to talk to my brother......"
"Then if you are not ready, come back to me." Originally, they were not familiar with each other when they were in the imperial capital, especially Duanmu Xinmiao, although she was famous, but because of her strange temper, there were really few people who 'befriended' her. It's just that this way down, just a few people are together all day long, although Duanmu Xinmiao fell asleep when he was in a hurry, but when he rested, he naturally had to wake up to eat and clean up, the road was desolate, and there was no scenery to see along the way, so he could only talk to each other when he was idle, but he quickly became close.
This would be rejected by Deng Wanwan, Duanmu Xinmiao didn't care, said a word, and turned his head to ask Gu Rouzhang, "Rourou, what about you?" ”
Gu Rouzhang was fine, she didn't believe that her two brothers were injured at all, and she relied on the team to follow her to Xiliang, all to join in the fun. After this long journey, she and Wei Changying had the best physical strength to preserve because they rode horses from time to time, and they had carriages to rest in, and now they finally arrived at their destination, and they were in high spirits. ”
Zhou asked in surprise: "Doesn't Miss Gu go to Xiancheng or Wangliubao?" "These two places are where Gu Xinian and Gu Yiran are stationed.
Gu Rouzhang said with great righteousness: "My brothers are all serving the country, where can I care about it?" Didn't I bother them when I went? If I don't go, I'll just walk around by myself. "Co-authoring this one really regards running to the west as a tour of the mountains and rivers!
When the Zhou family received the news that Wei Changying and his party were going to Xiliang, they heard that this Miss Gu was sneaking into the team - this Miss Gu is also the 'daughter' of the imperial capital Gu's own sect, and she knows that her ordinary upbringing will definitely not be left unattended, and she actually does such a thing, and it is not a fuel-efficient lamp when she hears it.
Mrs. Su's instruction to her was to send her to Gu Xinian as soon as the people arrived: first, Wei Changying might not have the kung fu to see her; Second, I can't worry about such a 'worry' for the Gu family. Just 'hand' Gu Rouzhang to her cousin Gu Xinian, and let Gu Xinian have a headache!
So as soon as he heard Gu Rouzhang say that he wanted to look around, Zhou didn't care whether he was polite or not, and deliberately mentioned Xiancheng and Wangliubao, thinking that Gu Rouzhang was a 'girl' child, and he should be embarrassed to get off the stage, so he had to talk and go to his brothers, right? Who would have thought that Gu Rouzhang would open his mouth and find a reason not to look for his brothers, but this is the reason......
Because he was not worried that his delicate sister came from afar, Tete asked Shen Youjia for leave and rushed to meet Deng Zongqi at the city 'gate', so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. Deng Wanwan also opened his mouth, and said after a while: "The war is not busy now." ”
Gu Rouzhang came to his senses at this time and offended the Deng family brothers and sisters, and hurriedly said: "Ah, Wanwan, you are right, since they are not busy, and they don't come to pick me up, I think there is something else that has stumped up." I guess I'd better not bother for now, and I'll talk about it later! ”
Zhou's silence: How to get rid of this Miss Gu now? If it is said that the two members of the Gu family may not have been stumped by things, it is equivalent to saying that Gu Xinian and Gu Yiran are not as good as Deng Zongqi's sister; If Gu Rouzhang was asked to find these two, she said that she would be considerate of her brother and not bother......
Duanmu Xinmiao didn't have so many ideas from the Zhou family, and said lazily: "Since that's the case, then I'll go to the house first." By the way, Aunt Zhou, is there anyone in that house? ”
Because Duanmu Xinmiao's stepmother Zhou Yueguang and this Zhou family are both Xilin Zhou's 'daughter', Duanmu Xinmiao called Zhou's aunt - Zhou heard her ask, was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said: "Naturally, there is a ......" Halfway through this, Zhou always felt that something was wrong, and looked carefully at the hall, and suddenly found that the 'servants' around him and the 'women' wearing red and green seemed to be standing behind Gu Rouzhang and Deng Wanwan? !
She subconsciously continued, "It's just that they're all rough, Xinmiao, you...... Your own handmaiden? ”
Duanmu Xinmiao was surprised: "I didn't bring a 'girl'!" ”
"......" Zhou was silent again: In these years, the fallen distant branches of the Shi clan will come out, and there will be more or less one or two personal envoys 'women' waiting in front of them. Even Gu Rouzhang, who ran out secretly, also led two maids who were coerced on the road by her. As the 'daughter' of the Splendid Duanmu, who would have thought that Duanmu Xinmiao would actually ...... Will you go on the road alone, without even a close attendant?
This will listen to Duanmu Xinmiao again: "On the road, Sister Wei and Zhu Shi are waiting for me, since there is no 'girl' in the house, then I will go to Sister Wei and ask the two of them later." ”
Zhou Shi hurriedly said: "It's not nothing, I just thought you brought someone yourself, so you didn't send it over." Don't worry, I'll send you someone when I get back!" It must be careful and proper. ”
That's all it means here, Duanmu Xinmiao went to the room prepared for her, Deng Zongqi took the opportunity to lead his sister down to talk, Gu Rouzhang shouted that she was not tired, and she wanted to look around Xiliangcheng - Zhou said that he would send someone to guide her, and apologized that he still had to deal with all the affairs of Ming Peitang, but he couldn't accompany him personally.
Gu Rouzhang only thought about playing, and didn't care if the Zhou family was really busy or underestimated that she was just a 'girl' from a family, so she didn't bother to accompany her personally, so she asked for a guide and left.
After a few guests dispersed, Shen Chu asked his wife: "This young lady of the Duanmu family is also the 'daughter' of the sect, not to mention, she is also a proud disciple of the famous doctor Ji Qu in the sea, and now Yaoye's nephew is bedridden, and it is said that the imperial capital sent her over just in case...... The ordinary 'women' did not serve her as she wished, and they offended her when they did not. Before, she was going to ask for someone from her nephew's 'woman', so you should go with her, since the two handmaidens served her all the way, they must be approved by her, and the nephew's 'woman' brought a lot of manpower horizontally and vertically, so there will not be a shortage of so two handmaidens. In a deserted place like ours now, where can we find such a considerate maid for her? It's not as good as she wants to find the past, and you say it first! How to round the field when the time comes! ”
Zhou said in a low voice: "You are really confused! Isn't there a ready-made candidate? ”
"Who?" Shen Chu and the Zhou family were entrusted to take care of the ancestral house of Ming Pei Tang, although the people of this sect are now in the imperial capital, and this house is full of subordinates and some people who live in remote courtyards for various reasons, but because of the huge scale of Ming Pei Hall, although the branch of this sect does not live here, but now that the Shen family is prosperous, they are not willing to let the ancestral house be 'covered' dust, and there are many people who use it every day to sweep and repair.
Therefore, Shen Chu and the Zhou family have always been in charge of internal and external affairs, and the 'maid' is under the control of the Zhou family, Shen Chu is not very familiar with it, and he will be a little surprised to hear what the Zhou family said, "That's a serious daughter from the imperial capital, and it is not easy to serve her if there is no one on her side." Madame said in the letter not to neglect her, who are you talking about who can serve this delicate? ”
"The ...... over there," Zhou said in the direction of the courtyard where Shen Zangfeng was recuperating from his injuries, "That soft 'jade' is not much worse than the maid 'girl' next to the nephew's 'wife', isn't it enough to serve this Miss Duanmu?" ”
Shen Chu heard the movement of his eyebrows, and said, "You took advantage of Yaoye's assassination last time and was seriously injured, and Tete arranged for her to go over to 'serve' Yaoye closely." It's just that Yao Ye is seriously injured and has not been able to succeed so far, so she will be transferred away, isn't it nothing? ”
"You're such an elm head!" Zhou frowned and whispered to him, "You don't want to see who is coming?" Yao Ye was alone before, and he was alone in Xiliang at a young age, except for a small servant by his side, he didn't even have two rough envoys and 'women'! In such a bitter cold place, finding someone who knows the cold and the heat to serve him is also my intention as an aunt! But now that the nephew's 'wife' has arrived, not to mention the nephew's 'wife' herself, just look at the many manpower brought by the nephew's 'wife', are you afraid that no one will serve Yaoye well? In this case, the soft 'jade' should not be there to hinder the eyes of the nephew'. Don't call my nephew 'wife' think that I took advantage of her absence to deliberately block her in the backyard of Yaoye! ”
Shen Chu snorted and said, "You also know that soft 'jade' hinders the eyes of your nephew and 'wife'?" I told you earlier, my nephew's 'wife' is the 'daughter' of the Wei family who is on par with my Shen family's 'family', and it is said that she is extremely favored in her mother's family, and she gave birth to Yaoye's eldest son, and her position is as stable as a mountain! Tell you not to send the soft 'jade' to Yaoye's side, but you just won't listen! I also changed the name of soft 'jade' to her, lest Yao Ye can't see your hints! Now that the nephew 'wife' is here, you don't send her elsewhere in advance, just because of her good looks, it's strange that the nephew and 'wife' can not be suspicious! When the time comes, I will find out about you, and I won't be burdened by calling my nephew 'wife' a grudge! ”
When Zhou Shi heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "What am I going to do to send that little hoof away to serve Yaoye, you know it in your own heart!" If it weren't for the fact that you were still greedy in the front yard, and you had nothing to do all day to hang in the back, your eyes would have swept over to the servants who were a little colorful, and after discovering this soft 'jade', you would have come to her eight times a day - if it weren't for her younger age than our 'daughter', I'm afraid you would have spoken to me a long time ago?! ”
"What if I just wanted to accept her before?" Shen Chu was told by his wife, and he couldn't get off the stage, so he was embarrassed and said "sex", and said, "I didn't think about spoiling my concubine and killing my wife!" If you are a really virtuous person, you should take the initiative to open this mouth for me when you see my thoughts, instead of dressing her up neatly and changing her name to Yaoye! ”
Zhou spat on his face: "I'm bah! You think beautifully! Spoil the concubine and kill the wife! If you are not here as the ancestor of the Shen family, you can violate the clan rules?! If you have the guts, go for it! Do you think that Yao Ye was seriously injured and unconscious, and Soft Jade couldn't serve him, but now that his nephew and wife have arrived, Soft Jade can't stay by his side, so I have to ask her to go back to the place where she used to serve, and fulfill you?! I tell you, you're dead to this heart! Don't say that today's young lady of the Duanmu family wants such a 'fine' and delicate 'girl', even if there is no Miss Duanmu, don't expect to accept her - you take a fancy to her young beauty, and you don't want to think about your face folds, people's little 'girl' children don't look down on you! ”
Shen Chu was scolded by his wife, and he was also angry, raised his sleeves to wipe the place on his face that was spat by his wife, and said with a sneer: "She is a little 'girl', I am willing to accept her into the 'door' as a concubine, that is a great blessing!" I ......"
"You just dream!" Zhou sneered and said, "In terms of identity, although you and I are also members of the Shen clan, we are still Yaoye's uncle and aunt in name, but this is just Yaoye's generosity and easy-goingness." He just treats us as servants, what can we do? In terms of age, you are an old thing, Yao Ye is just a teenager! In terms of appearance, you old thing, if you don't hold the power of this sect to give you the idea of guarding the house, you try to see this Ming Pei Tang up and down, but there is an ugly maid who is patient to give you a flattering look?! Yao Ye is so handsome, outstanding, both civil and military, and has a great future, to put it mildly, if you give him a concubine, you will have no name for a lifetime, and it is a hundred times better to follow him than to be a concubine for you! You think that the soft 'jade' has seen Yaoye, and has also seen you old ugly thing! ”
