Chapter 64: The Woman's Thoughts
"Yan Shiyi, don't go to the county lord's mansion, when can you go and wait for news."
Begonia threw down a sentence and left in a hurry. What could be more bluffing than an epidemic!
In the late spring, the peasants are particularly busy, but the capital is a lazy scene. The maidservants sat in the water mouth of the verandah and took a nap, and the mothers-in-law gathered around to eat melon seeds and gossip.
The master was not there, and Begonia dared to take a nap generously, got up and cleaned his head and face, re-hairpinned the flowers, and was facing the mirror to dress his dress. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting: "The county lord is back!" ”
Startled, he stood up and hurried out the door to greet him. Passing through the verandah, he pointed to the maidservants and reprimanded:
"Why don't you hurry up and hang up all the curtains, and wait for the county lord to come in and be punished?"
Haitang tilted her head and stared at the verandah to speak, but she didn't expect someone to be staring at her.
Zhao Changye stood there frowning, watching Begonia come over. Begonia is wearing a new pink dress, her freshly washed head and face are still stained with moisture, and a silver thread embroidery thread of begonia flowers on her chest is lying down with her coquettish voice, looking more domineering than her master.
"Begonia is wearing a dress given to Yan Shiyi."
Peony wasted no time in stepping forward and whispered.
The county lord sent Begonia and Mo Yu to send Yan Shiyi back to the capital, so that she couldn't sleep at night for the past two days, and always felt that Begonia would provoke Mo Yu, if Hei Yu was interested in Begonia, it was very likely that he would ask King Xiaoxian to marry the county lord. At that time, she just cried and had nowhere to cry, and the county lord always told her that she couldn't do without her service, but she had served the county lord for ten years, and the county lord took a fancy to her as a big girl, and she was still a slave when she died. Although marrying Mo Yu is still a slave, it is more free, and when the time comes, having children will be called mother-in-law, and it is also a mother-in-law who is hurt by someone, which is better than always waiting for the master.
"County Lord."
Haitang curtsied, found that the county lord's face was wrong, and took two steps to explain carefully:
"I'm afraid that the house will be rumored to be plagued, King Qing has suffered from the epidemic, Yan Shiyi happened to run into it, they have been isolated outside for the past two days, and I don't dare to be careless. Isn't this just calling mothers to disinfect and smoke incense in their houses......"
"Stand down!"
Mother Xu drank the begonia and motioned for her to leave. The county lord is in a bad mood, don't hit the muzzle of the gun again. glanced at Peony again, complaining that Peony shouldn't have caused trouble for the county lord at this time. Yan Shiyi is just a peasant girl, so she can't take it out at this time.
Zhao Changye waved his hand and walked into the inner room alone.
"Go, hurry up."
Mother Xu rolled her eyes, looked at Zhao Changye's back, and realized that the county lord must have seen something that made her sad just now.
What is it?
All the way to the Chang'an City Tower in a carriage, and then through the long street to the front of the county lord's mansion in Wutong Lane, there is nothing special!
"Peony, have you noticed when the county lord is in a bad mood?"
Xu's mother called Peony to whisper in front of her. Peony blinked her eyelashes and said suspiciously:
"I seem to have seen that the county lord's face seemed to change when he passed by the newly built mansion on Long Street, but there was nothing special about it. The house was nothing more than a renovation and expansion. ”
After being reminded by Peony, Mother Xu suddenly realized, smashed her palms with both hands and made a crisp sound, and said:
"That's it! You must inquire about who lives in that mansion, where they moved from, and what kind of work the head of the house does. ”
Peony took the order and went out, and Mother Xu touched her face with both hands, as if she remembered an embarrassing past of the county lord.
Isn't that the man back?
