Chapter 50: A Wise Woman
In the middle of winter, the snowflakes in the sky, under the yellow shimmer of paper lanterns, resemble the bright and dark in summer, and the little fireflies that are thick and faint.
Dark Alley.
In the ghost messenger, the once invincible son Zhen Pu finally followed the jade hairpin girl home.
Zhen Pu, the "stubborn stone", finally let go of his confidenceless arrogance and began to learn to think seriously about the current predicament and future like an ordinary person.
And now, the first thing he has to face is how to survive in this snowy day.
At present, the easiest way is to take the olive branch thrown by the woman in red, accept her help, and go to her house.
"Master Zhen, come home with me!"
Miss Jade Hairpin said.
"Hmm...... Hmmm......"
Zhen Pu stiffened his face and hesitated.
But in the end, he nodded and lowered his haughty head.
"Hmm...... Hmmm......"
When the jade hairpin girl heard this, she immediately smiled.
So, in this dim dark alley, the jade hairpin girl held up the red oil-paper umbrella, lifted the dark yellow hazy paper lantern, Zhen Pu, wrapped the red cloak that the jade hairpin girl put on for him, moved step by step, and walked out of the dark alley.
The two figures, in the snowy night, gradually walked away.
Eventually, it was gone.
They all returned to the quiet house of the jade hairpin girl.
......
The residence of the jade hairpin girl.
After a cup of hot tea, a big bowl of rice, a large plate of dishes, a bucket of boiled bath water, and a clean and simple man's clothes, the sloppy and embarrassed Zhen Pu Gongzi, like a wild dog on the roadside, took on a new look and returned to his original appearance.
Without the brocade clothes, he still has a handsome face with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, with sharp edges and corners, and a handsome spirit.
If it weren't for the fact that he had done many evil things and was a heinous bastard, he would be one of the few beautiful men in the world who could make many women fall in love.
The jade hairpin girl looked at Zhen Pu, who was still a little uncomfortable after taking a bath and putting on coarse cloth clothes for the first time, and covered her mouth and smiled.
She smiled and said, "Young Master Zhen, this dress fits well, it won't look awkward, it suits you very well, you can wear it in the future." ”
After speaking, he smiled again, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Zhen Pu was stunned.
He thought that the jade hairpin girl would apologize to him, saying that she had not had time to prepare a dress made of silk and satin for him, so he could only be wronged first, and he would wear this coarse cloth dress that only inferior people wear.
But Miss Yuchai obviously didn't mean this, this coarse cloth clothes, in the future, will be the clothes that Zhen Pu often wears, and she will not spend extra money for him to buy one or two clothes made of silk and satin.
Zhen Pu stood there, in a trance, and then gradually reacted.
Now, he is no longer the son of Zhen Pu of the Rongguo Mansion who is high up.
The Rongguo Mansion is dead, and he is now just a poor worm taken in by this woman.
It's time for him to let go of his "messy" anger.
"Yes, this is very good, I didn't know before, the clothes made of coarse cloth would be so comfortable. ”
Zhen Pu raised his hand, looked at his sleeves, and said to Miss Yuchai with great satisfaction.
It's not all a lie!
Only now did he realize that the cloth made of coarse cloth and the clothes made of silk and satin were not much different from each other, but they were just a fig leaf covering the outside of the person!
Hearing Zhen Gongzi say this, the little woman was relieved. ”
The jade hairpin girl smiled.
She looked at Zhen Pu and said, "I'm really afraid that Zhen Gongzi will not be able to wear this clothes, at that time, I will have a headache, Zhen Gongzi, you don't know, now a piece of silk in the Mandarin Embroidery Cloth Village is worth ten of my best paintings!"
That good painting, the jade hairpin girl can't draw it every day, and even if it does, she doesn't know when it will be sold.
A little woman lives alone, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, everything costs money, and life is also tight, it is difficult to have spare money to change Zhen Pu's unnecessary clothes.
She was always smiling, as if she had been born like this.
Zhen Pu listened to these words of Miss Yuchai, and looked at her gentle and happy smile, and her thoughts were tumbling in her heart.
"Mmmm, Miss Jade Hairpin, I'm used to dressing, you don't have to waste spare money for me. ”
Zhen Pu only now found out that this woman is an extremely smart woman.
From the beginning, she seemed to be completely in control of herself.
When she took out the golden lock, the eight characters of "never leave and never give up, Fang Ling will continue forever" made him let down his guard, accepted her help, and let him follow her home.
She said that the coarse cloth garment was what he often wore in the future, and secretly pointed out that he was now in a situation under the fence, and that he could not disobey it, but she also said that a piece of silk from the Mandarin Embroidery Cloth Village was worth her ten fine calligraphy and paintings, and also said that she was in an embarrassing situation.
She was very clever enough to let him wear the coarse cloth garment and keep him from being dissatisfied.
Zhen Pu only now realized that her gentle smile seemed to have been rehearsed.
Although it is not fake, it really has a bit of acting flavor.
Zhen Pu doesn't understand a word called "black belly", but he knows another word, which is "mature and spicy".
The woman in front of her is a mature and spicy woman.
This woman once stayed in a brothel village, and he, a son who often frequented this place, naturally knew the danger, and only those girls who had many hearts and eyes and were cautious everywhere could escape from the tiger's den and wolf pit.
Perhaps, her golden lock of "never abandoning and forever inheriting" was not born at all, but after hearing about his deeds, she asked someone to help her build it, and all this was just for him, the prince of the Rongguo Mansion, to save her from the wolf's den.
This is very likely.
However, Zhen Pu smiled bitterly in his heart, this doesn't matter anymore.
Now, she has come out of the tiger's den and wolf pit, and he is no longer the son of the Rongguo Mansion, but just a poor man under the fence under this roof.
"Zhen Gongzi ......"
The jade hairpin girl looked at Zhen Pu, who was a little stunned, and smiled softly as always.
"Zhen Gongzi, it's late at night, you have been freezing outside all day, why don't you rest early!"
She said: "In the future, when I wake up tomorrow, I will make plans, how about it?"
The jade hairpin girl said, pointing to a room that had already been cleaned up and given to Zhen Pu.
The room, separated from her boudoir, was only separated by a wall.
If you talk louder in your dreams at night, you may be heard by the people in the next room.
"Oh, good, good!"
Zhen Pu was told this by the jade hairpin girl, and then he broke free from the surging thoughts and came back to his senses.
His temperament, because of the fence, seems to have become weak all of a sudden, and he is no longer the once fierce and vicious Zhen Pu Gongzi who has no one in his eyes.
The jade hairpin girl looked at Zhen Pu's well-behaved appearance, and laughed softly again, squinting her eyes with laughter.
"That jade hairpin girl, I'm going to sleep!"
Zhen Pu stepped into her room with her smiling eyes.
The wooden bed, the big quilt, and the fire are many times better than the ice and snow outside.
He could get a good night's sleep.
Zhen Pu silently closed the door, extinguished the candle, took off his shoes and socks, and lay down in the warm bed.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep unconsciously.
And the jade hairpin girl, watching Zhen Pu cover the door, put away her Ying Ying smile.
She carried a candlestick to the courtyard, and after checking whether the doors and windows of the house were closed, she went back to the house, blew out the candles in the hall, and then took the candlestick, and by its faint light, returned to her boudoir.
After a while, after a while, the faint light in her room was suddenly extinguished.
She took off her clothes, put on a thin underwear, climbed into bed, and lay down in the warm bed.
The whole house was plunged into a pitch black darkness.
It was silent, only outside the house, the north wind roared and whined.
Tonight, it's Chinese New Year's Eve.
After this night, it is the first day of the new year, and it is a new year.
The jade hairpin girl, who has lived for almost twenty years, also feels that she has finally ushered in a new life.
She lay in the quilt, covered her head with the quilt, and said in a muffled voice: "Zhen Pu, from tomorrow, I will teach you how to be my father-in-law!"
After she finished speaking, she immediately covered her mouth, because she was afraid that her words would be listened to by Zhen Pu in the next room, and in that case, she would be killed.
But her worries were completely unnecessary.
At this moment, Zhen Pu has fallen asleep.
It's just that, in his deep sleep, he had a dream, a nightmare.
He dreamed that this "mature old and spicy" jade hairpin girl died, and he dreamed that he had turned back into a stone looking out on the green peak of the cliff.
With the strength of the good wind, it sent me to the clouds.
However, a woman who is too smart is always blessed.
Sometimes, if the organs are exhausted, it will cost Qingqing's life.
