Out of the house
Song Chu'an carefully took the bib, imitating the way Chunlai walked on weekdays to the back door, the door was guarded by an elderly man, he just raised his eyelids slightly: "In the eldest lady's room?" ”
Song Chu'an replied yes in a sullen voice, and took out a string of copper coins from his arms: "The girl specially granted me a day off, so that I can go home to visit my relatives, can my uncle bother to open the door?" ”
The doorkeeper shook the copper coin in his hand, and immediately changed his smile and said, "The girl is polite, I will open the door for the girl." ”
Song Chu'an breathed a sigh of relief, lifted his steps and was about to step out of the door, but there was a sound of coming to the door behind him.
"I don't look like a maid when I see the girl."
Song Chu'an sighed violently in his heart, and the breath in his chest was pressed to his throat and eyes, and he kept thinking about what went wrong with his behavior.
The gatekeeper saw her pause, and then walked over, Song Chu'an was so nervous that the corners of his forehead were sweating, his hands subconsciously tightened his sleeves, and lowered his head slightly to cover the hat tighter: "What did Uncle say?" I don't understand. ”
The old man who guarded the door laughed when he heard this: "The girl is so generous, I'm afraid that the young lady is not as good as the girl." You are on an errand in the lady's courtyard again, but I am afraid that one day the young lady will marry and become half of the master. ”
Hearing this person's words, Song Chu'an was deflated: "Uncle said that he laughed, it's not early, I'm afraid I should go." ”
One step out of the courtyard gate, Song Chu'an ran out of the alley at the back door of the Song family with his sleeves up.
It is not a short road from the Song family in the city to the Tianxiang Pavilion in the west, she has been raising in the Song family before entering the palace, and where to go after entering the palace is to send each other off, but after walking two streets, Song Chu'an has been panting slightly.
She stepped on the stone brick road, watching the flow of people left and right on the street, those who were on marriage leave, and those who shouted for business......
Song Chu'an suddenly remembered the words of the old janitor, since ancient times, the young lady in the high-ranking family became pregnant after getting married, and when she was pregnant, she would arrange for her eldest maid to become her husband's aunt, so that person would say this.
But Song Chu'an never had the idea of letting Chunlai be her aunt, otherwise she could dedicate Chunlai to the emperor to strengthen her position when she was in the palace.
In the previous life, Song Chu'an had already had a very hard time, whether she married and entered the palace, how she went in life was arranged by the Song family, and she didn't want Chunlai to repeat her mistakes.
In this life, she will not let Chunlai become a tool for her pet, and she will not use her marriage leave as a child's play, Song Chu'an once thought that if she had enough money one day, she would take Chunlai away from the capital and find a small courtyard in Jiangnan to live her life peacefully.
If Chunlai doesn't want to go with her and has a sweetheart, Song Chuan will give her a generous dowry.
No matter what, there are too many injustices to women in this world, Song Chuan doesn't want to be a secular marionette, how she goes, how she goes, she has to have the final say.
The west of the capital city is remote, but this kind of bias is different from the nobles in the south of the city, the south of the city is full of high-ranking families, but the west of the city is full of merchants and people.
Song Chu'an shuttled through the alleys with a bib, but no matter how she cowered like a maid, her pampered demeanor and hair quality could not deceive people, she just walked a few steps and attracted the attention of the people around her.
Song Chu'an had no choice but to lower the bib as much as possible and walked quickly, and vaguely the golden plaque of Tianxiang Pavilion appeared in front of him.
It's not yet noon, and there are still very few people in Tianxiang Pavilion, as soon as Song Chu'an stepped into the restaurant, the shopkeeper came to him smartly: "What do you need?" ”
Song Chu'an raised the bib slightly, and took out a silver ingot from his sleeve: "Xiao Er, arrange a private room, if a girl leads a farmer to come, you will take them to the private room." ”
The shopkeeper took the silver, sighed loudly, and walked to the front to lead the way for Song Chu'an: "Objective upstairs, please, be careful of the stairs." ”
Song Chu'an followed the shopkeeper to the private room on the second floor, because it was not until noon, but there were only two rooms on the second floor that had been contracted, and one of them was chartered by Song Chunan.
The shopkeeper diligently made tea for Song Chu'an, and Song Chu'an took a sip of the teacup and said, "You go out first, I'll wait here alone." ”
The guest spoke, and the shopkeeper quickly withdrew with a smile.
Song Chu'an sat in front of the window and watched the vendors and pedestrians shuttling on the street, it was almost noon, the guests in the restaurant were on one after another, the noise came from downstairs, Song Chu'an waited patiently from the window, and it was not until noon was approaching that Chunlai's figure appeared downstairs.
Behind her was a man of strong build, dressed in burlap and dressed like a farmer.
After seeing the spring coming, Song Chuan silently closed the window.
The efficiency of this shopkeeper is very fast, but Song Chuan just closed the window when he heard a knock at the door.
Song Chu'an walked over and knocked on the door, and the shopkeeper took Chunlai and the two of them were waiting in front of the door.
Song Chuan took out a string of copper plates from his sleeve and put them in the shop: "I'm tired." ”
The shopkeeper accepted the money, smiled widely, and said with a huff: "Yes, yes, so I won't disturb the guests, and call me at any time if I have any needs." ”
This person is a very eye-catching person, waiting for the spring to come and the two of them enter the house, and close the door for them intimately.
"My miss, it's good that you're alright." Chunlai grabbed Song Chu'an's hand and said eagerly.
In Chunlai's eyes, Song Chu'an is a daughter who can't go out of the door, and she is naturally worried about sneaking into this kind of place from the Song Mansion alone.
Song Chu'an smiled and held her hand and took off the bib, Chunlai saw this and quickly asked his brother to lower his head: "You quickly step aside, don't spare Miss's dignity." ”
Song Chu'an was made to cry and laugh by Chunlai, the little girl is very reasonable in the house on weekdays, and she is quite majestic in her own house.
"It's okay, we still need your brother to help us in the future." Song Chuan said softly, she is only afraid that she will do more things in the future, if there is no such character, it will indeed be harder to rely on Chunlai alone.
With Song Chu'an's words, Chunlai's brother Zheng Shi dared to raise his head, but just this glance, Zheng Shi was stunned.
He had never seen such a beautiful woman, and the logo was like a figure in a painting, but he also understood that he was not capable of thinking that his sister was right, a character like Miss would spare her dignity.
"Miss, this is my brother, named Zheng Shi." Chunlai pushed down his brother, who was stalemate and didn't dare to speak.
Chunlai's original surname is Zheng, his real name is Zheng Chunlai, he is a person from a village in the capital, and later chose his surname after entering the Song family and changed his name to Chunlai.
Zheng Shi was pushed by his sister, and then he suddenly came back to his senses, and said respectfully to Song Chu'an: "Say hello to Miss." ”
