Chapter 27: Uncle Wang
Until she returned to her residence, Shen Xiaolou was still in shock, her appearance was in a trance and lost her soul in the eyes of her fellow residents, and she automatically found a good reason for her, "It seems that Miss Shen still hasn't found her cousin today." ”
To say that this Shen girl is really pitiful, a girl's family, the family is gone, and she came all the way to the capital to join her cousin, I'm afraid that there is no way to live in her hometown, otherwise how could she go to a cousin who hasn't seen her for many years? I don't know how much I have suffered along the way.
These days, Miss Shen goes out early and returns late, and they all see it, even if she has some savings in her hand, she can't stand it and eat nothing. If the savings are spent and no one is found, what should Miss Shen do?
Everyone couldn't help but worry about her.
Shen Xiaolou was stunned, and suddenly stood up, no, she shouldn't have come back so soon, she should have confirmed again. The Wang family is rich, there are so many people, so many carriages, the Changping Marquis Mansion must be busy and chaotic, which means that there are loopholes to exploit.
Thinking of this, she went out again and went straight to the Changping Marquis Mansion. Let's go around the back street first. Most of the children of the Marquis of Changping lived here, and Shen Xiaolou took advantage of people's inattention to steal a dress worn by a little maid.
The reason why I stole the little girl's clothes was because the little girl was inconspicuous. Who doesn't know the first-class girl next to the master? Second-class maids are often brought in and out by the master, and everyone is familiar with each other, only the little maid, who does some chores every day, can't get to the master, and doesn't attract attention.
Shen Xiaolou waited patiently until it was dark, changed his clothes, and went into the house from a remote place that he had seen earlier.
It was pitch black outside, but the house was brightly lit. Shen Xiaolou heard Li's mother mention the layout of the mansion, but with such a big Hou Mansion and so many courtyards, she was really a little confused, and she was trying to identify it, when she saw a woman on the path in front of her pointing at her and shouting, "Which yard are you?" What is running blindly? The big kitchen is dying, come with me to help! ”
Shen Xiaolou's tense body relaxed, and he hurriedly came over, "Hey, hey, it's here." ”
This woman is really busy, and the soles of her feet are like the wind, and Shen Xiaolou can only keep up with them by trotting. When she arrived at the big kitchen, Shen Xiaolou was first assigned to choose vegetables and wash them, and later asked her to light the fire.
Just do it, Shen Xiaolou is not ambiguous at all when he does his work, the dishes are selected quickly and cleanly, the fire is also burning strongly, and the woman who brought her here has a much better face towards her.
Shen Xiaolou quietly looked at this big kitchen, it was the size of three rooms, there were only six big stoves alone, and there were only ten people who were busy counting Shen Xiaolou, which was indeed busy enough.
The maid next to her, who was also burning the fire, saw Shen Xiaolou quietly beating her waist and whispered, "Tired, right?" In fact, the big kitchen is usually fine, but there are so many people in the house today. Which yard are you from? Why was he arrested by Steward Zhao? The guest house is in a hurry, asking for food, food and hot water, there are only a few of us, where can we be busy? Steward Zhao was going crazy, arresting people everywhere to work. The tone was full of sympathy.
Steward Zhao was probably the woman who brought her here, and Shen Xiaolou pointed casually, "I'm from the courtyard over there." "Vaguely passed. Then he pretended to be curious and asked, "Are there many people in the house today?" Where's the guest? I saw that the house was busy everywhere, and our steward insisted that we sweep the ground again, saying that there were leaves. Conscience of heaven and earth, it's spring, not autumn, where are so many fallen leaves? As soon as she finished sweeping and wanted to take a breath, she was ......" She glanced in the direction of Steward Zhao.
The maid understood and sympathized with her even more, "Then you are really unlucky!" Let me tell you, it's really a distinguished guest today, the eldest lady's foreigner. Do you know the Jiangnan royal family? A smug and ostentatious tone.
Shen Xiaolou shook his head honestly, this maid was even more interested, "The person in charge of the Jiangnan Wang family is the maternal grandfather of our eldest lady, although the Wang family is a merchant, but the business is very big, and it is very rich." Every year on the eldest lady's birthday, the Wang family will send someone to send a birthday gift, the box is moved down one by one, the gold, silver and jewelry are gone, I don't know how many good things! The eldest lady is the most blessed person in our house! She looked envious.
Shen Xiaolou listened to it and exclaimed, "Sister, you are so amazing, you know so much!" He begged her in a low voice, "I just entered the house, I haven't seen the world, sister, you tell me about the eldest lady's foreign home, and when I go back, I can show off to the little sisters in the same room." ”
Her unsightly appearance pleased the maid, and the maid smiled proudly and said to Shen Xiaolou: "Don't look at me burning the fire here, but I am a child of the family, my mother said, let me do this work first, she will find a way to get me elsewhere." Her eyes blinked, as if she remembered something, extremely mysterious, "Do you know who is from the eldest lady's family this year?" ”
She didn't need Shen Xiaolou to guess, she announced the answer herself, "It's the eldest lady's uncle!" ”
Shen Xiaolou whimpered, and said as if unintentionally: "He comes to give the eldest lady a birthday gift every year?" I really envy the eldest lady for having such a good uncle. ”
The maid said: "That's not it, the people who came a few years ago were the big shopkeepers of the Wang family." ”
Shen Xiaolou was thoughtful, she now somewhat understood how the Changping Marquis Mansion kept the Wang family in the dark.
Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the news is not clear, and it is not what the Marquis of Changping Mansion said? She and Shen Qingya are only one year apart, you may be able to see the difference when you are young, but you can't see anything after you are four or five years old, Shen Qingya wants to pretend to be her too easy.
The Wang family only came once a year, and it was still the big shopkeeper, the master and servant were different, the men and women were different, and it was estimated that they didn't even see the face of the "eldest lady", or they just said a few words through the screen, and the key was that no one would think about it!
This time it is the uncle of the Wang family who is back, and the nephew will definitely meet, will Uncle Wang see that Shen Qingya is an impostor? Shen Xiaolou thinks no, it's still that sentence, who would think about this?
Suddenly, Shen Xiaolou was very angry, and he especially wanted to rush to the guest house to find out the truth.
But no, let's not talk about whether Uncle Wang will believe her, even if she believes it, they are all on the territory of the Marquis of Changping, and no matter how rich the Wang family is, they are just merchants, so what can they do to compete with the Hou Mansion? At that time, she will be the one who will be passive, and she doesn't want to quietly kill people.
Don't say that Cheap Dad can't do such a thing, hasn't he been doing it all the time?
Shen Xiaolou still has a layer of concerns, although she and the Wang family are related, they have never met, what feelings can they have? The businessman pursues profits, what if Uncle Wang exchanges her with the Hou Mansion for benefits? Didn't she throw herself into the net?
can't blame her for thinking so badly about Uncle Wang, and never underestimate the sinister nature of people's hearts. The Changping Hou family can do such a shameless thing, what else won't happen?
Shen Xiaolou burned the fire until almost three watches, and dinner was used in the big kitchen, with meat and soup, and the food was very good. Just as she was about to go back, Steward Zhao suddenly ordered her to help deliver hot water to the guest house.
What an unexpected bonus!
Shen Xiaolou's eyes lit up, and he lifted the barrel with one hand, "Don't look at me thin, in fact, I have a lot of strength." ”
