Chapter 5: Xiao Lang
A layer of red flannel cloth was laid underneath, and only two pieces of jewelry were placed: a sterling silver hairpin and a string of fragrant wood bracelets. Sure enough, this must be the love thing that the sour show gave away.
There are still a number of letters, neatly folded, sprinkled with a few dried flowers, exuding a faint fragrance of flowers, which shows the good intentions of the original owner.
I opened it and read it one by one, but it was just some greetings, affectionate and polite. Wen Zhu exhaled lightly and ordered Zhaocai to take it and burn it. The hairpin and bracelet were casually rewarded to the two little maids, but Mother Li was distressed enough, and the little maids were happy, so they thanked the reward immediately and put it on directly.
Wen Zhu put the jewelry back on, locked it, and under the service of the maids, he rushed back to the bed after washing, holding a box and refusing to let go, and wiped it again and again with his sleeve dipped in saliva, excited to the third watch in the middle of the night, sleepiness swelled up, and he couldn't help sleeping.
Wen Zhu was satisfied with the hard jewelry box, sleeping so solidly for the first time, vaguely forgetting something, feeling a little uneasy, and being ignored by the subconscious choice under the huge stimulation of becoming a rich woman.
"I will propose to Lord Lingzun in ...... near future"
early morning
A miserable scream came from Miss Wen San's boudoir, Wen Zhu held a box of jewelry, woke up, and fell into a pillow.
Wen Zhu, who had a crooked neck, got dressed under the service of Zhao Cai Jinbao, still holding the sandalwood jewelry box, and kissed the two from time to time. Mama Li looked at her with a compassionate look, and from time to time she wiped the transparent liquid flowing from the corner of Wen Zhu's mouth with a handkerchief, and thought in her heart: Miss's soul loss is getting more and more serious, if Miss is stupid, how can she be good.
Suddenly there was a miscellaneous footstep outside the room, a group of fierce mothers-in-law broke in, and couldn't help but say, Wen Zhu, who was in a semi-demented state, rushed out, and Wen Zhu, who was forced to wake up from the dream of a rich woman, shouted: "Let me down!" ”
Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law who took the lead was very arrogant, and said with a little contempt: "Third Miss, the master is invited!" ”
Mama Li, who caught up, directly pulled the two mothers-in-law who were holding Wen Zhu, and several women quickly tore into a ball, all of them were scattered, rolling around on the ground, and their mouths were full of three and four, Li Ma was like a lioness protecting calves, her combat power was wild, and the other side was strong in numbers, and it was a draw.
The two little girls shrank aside in fright, and the timid Jinbao had already begun to cry, and the fortune was still in front of Wen Zhu, and a pair of weak arms trembled violently.
Wen Zhu pushed away Zhaocai, stepped in front of the mother-in-law who took the lead, raised his hand is a slap, and the crisp sound woke up the female generals in the battle, the mother-in-law still had a look of disbelief, and then fell to the ground like a splash, hammering his chest: "My family has been a slave for three generations, and I am loyal, and my lord has never slapped him!" ”
"What are you a slave...... Wen Zhu thought about it, tilting his head.
"Smack!" Another slap, simply, left and right bows, snap pop, more than 20 slaps in a row, the woman's face was swollen and speechless, and she looked at the weak third lady with a pair of teary eyes and fear.
Wen Zhu wrapped his slightly red and swollen hands with a handkerchief, tidied up his dress, looked left and right, and randomly picked out a neatly dressed one from the group of stunned shrews, "You, take me to see my father." ”
The mother-in-law got up tremblingly, didn't say a word, lowered her head and led the way in front, beckoning wealth and cleverly pulling Jinbao, and came to support Wenzhu.
Wen Zhu's hand ached faintly, but his heart was happy, and the depression in his heart suddenly disappeared a lot. Acting so willfully, I didn't even think about it before, in this society where there are different respects, beating a subordinate, the cheap dad will not embarrass himself.
The woman led Wen Zhu straight through several courtyards, saw a red lacquer gate, the door was closed, and led Wen Zhu out from the corner door next to it, and there was a small green cloth sedan chair parked at the door, and there was already a strong daughter-in-law waiting.
Zhaocai opened the sedan curtain, Jinbao helped Wenzhu into the sedan chair, and two daughters-in-law lifted the sedan chair, and the mother-in-law who took the lead carried a pig's face and led a group of women to follow from afar.
Sitting alone in the sedan chair, Wen Zhu gradually calmed down, only to feel that he was really happy to act today, thinking of the jewelry in the box, his waist suddenly straightened.
As soon as his thoughts turned, he didn't know why his titular father summoned him, he thought about it left and right, and was suddenly surprised, could it be for that? Could it be that Xiao Sheng really went to find Master Wen? I suddenly had a plan in my heart.
Put your mind down, and then have the mood of watching the flowers and enjoying the scenery, lift the corner of the window screen on the sedan chair, look out, these two servants must be specialized in the sedan chair for a living, it is really fast and steady, the scenery outside the window flies by, in a trance, I don't know how many yards, how many gardens, and how many doors.
Suddenly, I heard Zhaocai's whispered reminder: "Miss, it's time for the study." ”
Wen Zhu gently lowered the window screen, and someone came to lift the sedan curtain, beckoning wealth to help her, and Jinbao followed on the side.
These days have been stuffy in the room, the first time I saw the architecture of this era, red walls and yellow tiles, pavilions such as covers, cornices and corners, a vermilion door in the middle, half opened, Wen Zhu walked into the door with the support of the little maid, did not have time to turn back, heard that the door had been closed, the little maid and a group of mothers-in-law were all guarding the door in a regular manner.
Raising his eyes, a huge sleeping couch, next to a few bamboo chairs, behind the couch stood a carved dragon gold screen, just looking at the room, there was a soft cry in the ear: "Bamboo!" ”
Wen Zhu turned his head, slightly stunned, leaning on a beautiful man behind the desk under the window, a pair of phoenix eyes hooked the soul, the corners of his lips rose on one side, with three points of evil spirit, his hair was meticulously combed behind, only a few strands were scattered in front, adding a little courage.
Seeing Wen Zhu slightly stunned, the beautiful man showed a heartbroken expression on his face, and his eyes were watery, which was quite similar to the twins, Wen Zhu was startled and couldn't help but take a step back.
The beautiful man sniffled, finally held back his tears, and a few wrinkles squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, revealing his true age, and said very aggrievedly: "Zhu'er, still don't you remember your father?"
Wen Zhuda was embarrassed, and responded vaguely, the article sighed faintly, let her go, and raised his voice to the door: "Is the Zhan family available?" There was a bit of majesty in the words.
There was a vague sound of promise outside the door, but it was the mother-in-law who had been slapped earlier.
The article narrowed his eyes and reprimanded sternly: "If you commit the following crimes, you can go to the family law." Turning his head to Wen Zhu, he smiled flatteringly: "Zhu'er, Daddy only arranged such a worry-free family affair for you when you were too soft." ”
