Chapter 152: Xiangyang Love Song
Xiao Hongyu is telling the truth, she only has two coins of silver on her, and she doesn't even have enough to buy a fraction of rouge. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Wen.NetBut the proprietress thought she was going to bargain, and said with a smile: "Sister, it's also fate for our sisters to know each other, and my sister can't make you embarrassed, right......?"
Xiao Hongyu snorted: "I only have two coins ......"
The proprietress almost fainted when she heard it, she had never seen such a bargain after opening the store for so many years.
She immediately lowered her face and said, "Sister isn't joking with me, is she?"
Xiao Hongyu said aggrievedly: "I really only have so many ......"
The proprietress snorted coldly, snatched the rouge with her hand, and said in a weird manner: "With such a little money, don't learn from other ladies to go to the shop." The girl's family is not ashamed!"
There are two kinds of businessmen in this world, the first is to do business like a person, and the second is to be a person like a business. The proprietress undoubtedly belongs to the latter, otherwise she would have had a good location in this shop, and she should have prospered financially. It's just that he is too mean, so the business has not been big.
Xiao Hongyu was squeezed by her and almost shed tears. I obviously didn't do anything wrong, but I was sneered. When this little fox first set foot in the world, he ignorantly realized that all kinds of warmth and coldness in the world were not as beautiful as he imagined.
Xiao Hongyu was embarrassed and was about to leave, when she suddenly heard someone say: "Wait, I have taken this sister's rouge." ”
Xiao Hongyu was startled, and when she looked up, she saw that it was a girl of the same age as herself.
She wears a blue butterfly and a white silk jacket, and a blue and white knotted palace silk dress; her eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and she is obviously a young lady from a rich and noble family. It's just that his face is a little too white, and he seems to be in bad health.
As soon as the proprietress saw this person, she immediately turned her anger into joy, and said with joy on her face: "Who did I say, it turned out to be the eldest lady of the Shen family! Please sit down first, and I'll pour you tea!"
Miss Shen said coldly: "That's not necessary. Boss, I see that your business is getting better and better!"
The proprietress didn't know what she meant, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, isn't it the blessing of Lord Lingzun Shen? Lingzun will govern our Xiangyang City well, and we will wait for the small people to have a business ......."
It turned out that this Miss Shen was the daughter of Lord Shen of the Xiangyang Prefect, and the proprietress naturally did not dare to slack off on the VIP who could not be invited by ordinary times.
But before she could finish speaking, Miss Shen interrupted: "I also think that your business must be very prosperous, otherwise how can you drive the guests out of the door?"
The proprietress was stunned for a moment, but she knew that it was Xiao Hongyu, and she didn't know how to interface for a while.
Miss Shen said: "I paid five taels of silver, you can go to the house tomorrow to get it." Listen, this is the last time I'll be in your shop. You're too angry here, and you've smoked the fat powder to the point of bad taste. ”
After that, she picked up the wrapped rouge and handed it to Xiao Hongyu and said, "Sister, you can take it, and I will take you to find a better shop in a few days." The boss of the family is not so dislike the poor and love the rich!"
When the proprietress heard this, she was shocked. It must be known that since ancient times, businessmen must rely on the government to do business, otherwise it will be difficult to make money, even if it is difficult to open the door. The proprietress naturally understands this truth, how dare she offend her?
hurriedly apologized: "Miss Shen, I was wrong, look at my mouth, I actually said the wrong thing, I really should be beaten!"
Miss Shen said, "Don't tell me, beg that sister to go." ”
The proprietress immediately turned to Xiao Hongyu and cried: "Sister, my sister looks down on people, so I can't compensate you!"
Xiao Hongyu only felt that she was both hateful and pitiful, and she was a little disgusted while sympathizing in her heart, and waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't be like this, I can't stand this!"
Miss Shen also said: "Okay, this sister forgive you, you can step down, don't be so snobbish in the future!"
The proprietress was pardoned, but she had to go. Look at 1 gross 2 lines 3 Chinese net
Miss Shen handed the rouge to Xiao Hongyu and said, "Good sister, you take it, it's a meeting gift from your sister." ”
Xiao Hongyu shook her head: "Miss, I am a subordinate, how dare I accept your gift? ”
Miss Shen said: "Oh, don't shirk it! As the so-called sword is given to the martyrs, and red powder is given to the beauties." I've just seen it, and it's the fat powder on your face that makes the most of it! Besides, ...... You look so similar to him......"
Xiao Hongyuqi said: "Miss, who is 'he' you are talking about?"
Miss Shen's face flushed slightly: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just an ordinary friend." Sister, I forgot to ask, what is your last name and where do you live?"
Xiao Hongyu said: "I am a foreigner, my name is Xiao Hongyu. I also have a friend with my grandfather who passed through Xiangyang and was leaving in a few days. ”
Miss Shen said: "That's a pity, I hit it off with you at first sight, and I wanted to be sisters." It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes...... In this way, tomorrow you can go to the prefect's yamen on Tongren Road to find me, and I will take you around the city, okay?"
Xiao Hongyu is a young man after all, and nodded and said, "That's good, that's good, let's make a decision!"
Miss Shen also nodded: "See you tomorrow." "Then pick up the curtain and leave.
Only then did Xiao Hongyu catch a glimpse of seven or eight people waiting outside, and the formation of this prefect's daughter was indeed not small.
Little Hongyu returned to the inn and washed all the fat powder by the well before sneaking into the room. The next morning, she hastily prepared breakfast and went out.
I only heard Jiuling Zhenjun shouting behind her back: "Come back!"
Xiao Hongyu was frightened, and turned around and said, "What...... What's wrong, Grandpa?"
Zhenjun asked like frost, "Where did you go last night?"
"I didn't ...... Didn't go anywhere......"
Jiuling Zhenjun slapped the table: "I heard the door of your room ringing, and I smelled a vulgar aroma, you still said that you didn't go anywhere?"
Xiao Hongyu lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing that she was so embarrassed, Li Yan said, "Zhenjun, don't be angry with your old man. Little Hongyu girl is so smart, are you still afraid that she will not be deceived by others? I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to let her go out and see some customs. ”
The old fox snorted, put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and left.
Li Yan winked at her, and chased after her alone.
Xiao Hongyu smiled gratefully, slipped out of the inn as if flying, and rushed to the prefect's yamen. The two sergeants standing guard at the door did not let Xiao Hongyu in. After making trouble for a long time, it finally alarmed Miss Shen and asked the personal maid to come out to greet her.
At that time, the office and living of the prefect's first-level officials were all in the yamen, so the construction of the government was naturally very magnificent. But Xiao Hongyu has lived in Xiaoyao Building for a long time, and is used to seeing carved beams and paintings, but she doesn't care about these ingenious buildings.
The maid led her around the bush and came to the Lady's Pavilion. Miss Shen's eyes lit up with joy: "Good sister, you are really here!"
Little Hongyu nodded and asked, "That's nature." Sister Shen, where are we going to play?"
Miss Shen said: "I've thought about all the routes and attractions, but there is one ......."
"What's the matter?"
"You've got to help me get out first!"
Xiao Hongyu suddenly realized that Miss Shen had asked her to come to visit, and there was still this meaning in it. If you were someone else, you might be a little unhappy to learn that you were being used. But although the fox is a cunning animal, it has a strong heart to repay gratitude, so Xiao Hongyu did not hesitate to say: "A trivial matter, wrap it up on me!"
Miss Shen was overjoyed: "Okay!
The personal maid listened to their discussion of what they said, and almost cried urgently, and hummed and chirped: "Miss...... If the lord blames it......"
Miss Shen turned her face blank: "Xing'er, you are not allowed to denounce me with my father." If I know that you are a traitor to glory, be careful that you can't eat and walk around!"
Xing'er cried with a sad face and said, "Hey, where do I dare......"
Miss Shen said to Xiao Hongyu: "Sister, I want to make the curtain into a rope and slip out from the second floor, what do you think?"
Xiao Hongyu said: "No need to be so troublesome. As he spoke, he grabbed the young lady's slender waist, jumped up to the wall, and landed lightly on the lawn outside, without making a sound at all.
The maid was stunned from inside the wall, and her jaw almost fell to the ground. Miss Shen was also frightened, and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister is not an immortal, right?"
Xiao Hongyu smiled: "My little sister is just a country girl, and her hands and feet are sharp." ”
Miss Shen grew up in a deep house compound since she was a child, and she knew very little about the outside world, and she really thought that "country girls" were so powerful.
The two walked around and saw enough of the scenic spots in Xiangyang City, and in the afternoon, the sun turned west, and they came to the bank of the Han River.
But seeing the fine willows on the shore, the river surface is golden and beautiful.
But in the face of the beautiful scenery, Miss Shen suddenly cried without warning.
Xiao Hongyu hurriedly asked, "Sister, are you uncomfortable?"
Miss Shen said with tears in her eyes: "Sister Hongyu, I can't hide it, I'm ...... I'm going to die!"
Xiao Hongyu was shocked, and then looked at Miss Shen, and found that there was a faint green aura under her pale skin, and there were also clouds in the Yin Hall.
Such a flower-like girl is like a flower that is about to wither before it is fully opened, which is really pitiful. At this moment, Xiao Hongyu suddenly realized the impermanence of life, and her heart couldn't help but feel sour.
Miss Shen wiped her tears and said, "Sister, to tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of death." I'm a motherless child, and no one hurts when I was a child. It's a hundred times dead......"
Xiao Hongyu hurriedly held her hand: "Where did my sister speak!"
Miss Shen smiled gratefully: "Sister, thank you for feeling sorry for me." Since you are so caring, I will say a few words from my heart to you. Actually, I ran out to see someone before I died. ”
Xiao Hongyu said: "Who does my sister want to see? ”
Miss Shen's face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head, and said in a voice like a gnat: "He is my lover, surnamed Hu Yujun......"
Xiao Hongyu suddenly realized, thinking that these young ladies' affairs are really unpleasant, and they have to make seven or eight bends to say what is in their hearts. So he asked, "And where does he live?"
Miss Shen shook her head: "I don't know. After learning that I was sick, he left without a word. ”
Xiao Hongyu stomped her feet angrily: "Sister, what do you want him to do with such a person who is unlucky?"
Miss Shen shook her head and said, "No, he's not that kind of person, I know." He must have had his own troubles. But I can't do it, I'm afraid I can't wait for him......"
Xiao Hongyu asked, "Sister wants me to help you find that Hu Gongzi?"
Miss Shen sighed: "Actually, I don't have that plan. It's just that sister, between your eyebrows and eyes look a little similar to my Hu Lang, I look at the face kindly, so I feel close. I want to turn to you for help, but you're just a girl, so what can I do......"
She wiped her tears, "Good sister, these words have been held in my heart for a long time, and I finally feel better to say them today." Let's go, if I go back too late, the maid won't be able to hide it for me. ”
Xiao Hongyu listened to her words, and was stunned, and wanted to take care of this matter, but she didn't have the ability, so she had to send Miss Shen home in silence.
After Xiao Hongyu returned to the inn by herself, she was in a daze. It is the nature of a fox to be suspicious, and she really can't figure out why Miss Shen would trust someone unconditionally.
There is also that waiting and hope, although bitter but a little poignant, and even a little longing.
When Miss Shen mentioned Hu Gongzi's name, her face was red, more beautiful than any fat powder, as if that name was the source of all her happiness.
I don't understand, Xiao Hongyu doesn't understand what she thinks, but her face is quietly red.
She suddenly wanted to find that Hu Gongzi no matter what, and let him meet Miss Shen. Then she'll feel happier than if she'd picked up a gold ingot.
However, she is just a little demon fox who is not deeply involved in the world, how can she have such great ability?
If grandpa is willing to help...... No, no, no, it's impossible. Grandpa had a saying that was enshrined as a rule, and that was: "Don't be nosy." "As long as it has nothing to do with him, he won't even look at it.
Xiao Hongyu suddenly felt that the Nine Spirits True Monarch was particularly rigid, ruthless, and even selfish.
And what about that Li Ye? That person looks like he's very talkative. Although he is not as good as his grandfather, he seems to have seen a lot of the world, and it shouldn't be a problem to find someone.
What's more, his martial arts are so high, when he finds Hu Gongzi, in case he doesn't want to come, he can let this surnamed Li beat him up and make Miss Shen angry.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
So she came to Li Yan's door, and after hesitating, she finally knocked lightly.
"The door is not locked, please come in. Li Yan's voice came.
Xiao Hongyu suddenly felt nervous for no reason, and her heart was pounding. But how could he retreat when the matter had come to this?
I saw Li Yan sitting by the window with a side face, and he judged him like two people on weekdays.
He looked out the window, his eyes seemed to pass through mountains and rivers, and even through time and space, struggling to find a figure. The clouds of sorrow lingered between his eyebrows, and this face was indescribable, inexhaustible loneliness.
This look is completely different from Miss Shen, but anyone can appreciate the affection contained in it.
Xiao Hongyu couldn't help but be stunned.
