Chapter 192 Yun Shu
Several people happened to sit down at the table next to Shen Mingjiao and the others. During the meal, the handsome scholar kept bringing food to the girl, asking her how she was and caring for her. It made the old lady almost lift the table.
The woman kept a cold face the whole time, as if she was an outsider. The woman's gaze stayed on Shen Mingjiao and the others for a moment, and when she saw the scholar looking over, she casually retracted her gaze.
Shen Mingjiao was just surprised at the woman's appearance and took a second look, and then looked away wisely. Every family has hard-to-recite scriptures. It is impossible for her to ask what happened just because of a little curiosity!
But after eating, Shen Mingjiao stood up and went upstairs to the guest room with Fuguang, the woman also stood up just in time, the two passed by, the woman accidentally bumped into her.
After walking a few steps, Shen Mingjiao squeezed the extra note in her hand.
Unfolded, a few words were crookedly written on it with rouge
—Save me, if I am useless in the future, I can sell it.
Shen Mingjiao crumpled the paper into a ball. This is an interesting statement. Most people who ask for help will say something like "be a slave or a handmaid, and be a cow or a horse in the next life".
But what the other party meant was that if she had nothing to use in the future, she could be sold again.
She is hesitating whether to meddle in other people's business, after all, although he is not very kind, he can't do nothing if there is a grievance in front of his eyes.
But people in this world are unpredictable, and such nonsense that sees uneven roads, I am afraid that it will eventually turn into farmers and snakes.
While she was hesitating, she saw a scholar not far away calling softly: "Yun Shu, let's go."
Hearing the word "Yunshu", Shen Mingjiao was startled. Immediately no longer hesitate, whether she is a snake or not, save the person first.
But thinking so, when she returned to the guest room, she still called Tie Zhu and asked him to inquire about the situation of that family.
Feng Lisheng asked her: "You said her name is Yun Shu, so could it be..."
Shen Mingjiao interrupted him with a wave of her hand: "No, when my sister had the accident, she was already ten years old, and although girls have changed eighteen years, the basic facial features will not change."
Feng Lisheng hummed, and didn't ask why he went to save that Yunshu since this was the case, as long as the princess is happy. He turned to:
"I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight. It's not safe for Shuo'er to sleep alone. I'll go to accompany him when the time comes. Be careful by yourself."
Shen Mingjiao thought he was talking about the proprietress' family of the inn, and just about to say no, she took Shuo'er over and the three of them slept together, but thinking of the child's awkward temper, she shook her head and stopped mentioning it.
At this time, in the downstairs backyard of this inn, the young man with flabbergasted eyes looked up at a guest room on the second floor, which was exactly the room where Shen Mingjiao was.
The owner of the inn walked in with a sullen face, followed by the proprietress with drooping eyebrows.
He covered the door, stared at the young man and warned in a deep voice:
"Qiangzi, stop your thoughts, that group of people has a lot of background, if they find out what we did before, our whole family, including Huzi, will have to finish it, do you understand?"
The young man named Qiangzi curled his lower lip, seeing his father's serious appearance, so he could only correct his expression and promise, "Okay, I'm not going to mess around!"
Seeing that his son was so obedient, the owner of the inn softened his expression slightly.
"Well, you are not allowed to go anywhere in the house tonight,"
After finishing speaking, he went out with his hands behind his back, and sent two guys to guard the door in case of accidents.
"Mother, are you really willing to let go of such a good fat sheep?"
The proprietress glanced at him dully. "Don't act recklessly, what can you do if you don't let them go? All of them are Lianjiazi, and our little means are not enough."
Seeing that the fat sheep can't be slaughtered, does she feel more pain than anyone else?
Qiangzi smiled, walked over and raised his hand to gently press his mother's shoulder:
"Isn't there still that family of three? I looked carefully, and they brought a coachman, two maids and an old nanny, and the man in charge is a frail scholar. Such a person is easy to deal with."
The proprietress was a little moved, but thinking of what her husband had just warned, she still shook her head with a heartache:
"No, no, what if those people in the guest room on the second floor are alarmed?"
"Oh, mother, don't worry. Let's wait until nightfall before acting. And look at the old lady's clothes, she must have a lot of money on her body..."
The proprietress only had this one son, who was usually spoiled, so she couldn't stand his repeated pleadings, and she was already moved in her heart, so she agreed after a short time.
But they didn't know that the conversation between the two was being heard clearly. In a hidden corner outside the house, an old nanny hurried past. Wu Shi said it out. The old lady sitting at the Eight Immortals table stood up in shock.
"You mean this is a black shop?"
She took a sip of tea and quickly calmed down. There are a group of noble people who can be seen as extraordinary in this inn. They must not dare to go too far, and in this way, it coincides with the purpose of her trip.
Thinking of this, she laughed, the corners of her eyes were deeply wrinkled, and her pair of hanging eyebrows made her look even more mean.
"Haha, that's fine, that little **** is indeed a vixen who is used to hooking up men!"
Nurse was a little worried: "In case the young master finds out..."
The old lady gritted her teeth: "If Li'er sees that **** making love with a wild man, I don't believe he can continue to pamper that bitch,"
As she spoke, she began to complain again:
"My life is miserable. My husband passed away early, and I raised Lier by myself, but he still refused to get married. He said he wanted to do business well and make money. I was quite relieved when I heard that.
Who would have thought that more than a year ago, when he came back from doing business in the south of the Yangtze River, he brought a woman with him, saying that he would marry that woman. Hi! I looked at that woman's foxy face. I knew that she must not be a decent girl,
Knew it! I had someone take the portrait and go to Jiangnan to check it out, only to find out that the woman is one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai in Jiangnan, and even a shameless **** wants to enter my Wen's house! "
Having said that, she took out her handkerchief and began to wipe away her tears.
"But Li'er is determined to marry, and she often can't afford to kneel in front of my bed. I have no choice but to agree. After marriage, it will be even worse. Li'er almost lifted that woman to the sky. My mother-in-law Don't talk about setting the rules, but Li'er will stand up and defend every serious sentence, it's really married a daughter-in-law and forgotten her mother!"
"But if it's just like this, I will bear it for the sake of Li'er's happiness, but the two of them have been married for more than a year, and the woman's stomach has not moved at all. I want to give Li'er a concubine, but Li'er refuses to live. , What did he say that he swore that he would only guard Yunniang in this life, what are you talking about!"
Speaking of this, ferocious hatred flashed across her eyes. The purpose of her trip this time was to take her grandson and daughter-in-law to Jiangnan for medical treatment, but she was actually looking for an opportunity to sell the woman so that his son could also Give up.
She originally wanted to find a flower house to sell someone, but she accidentally heard someone mention that Yunshu is one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai in the south of the Yangtze River. Although she is not here now, there are still many young masters who still miss her.
She thought about it, and planned to bring Yunshu to Jiangnan for evaluation, maybe she could give her son some help.
It's better now, anyway, that woman is already a broken shoe, as long as Li'er sees it with his own eyes, he will have a gap in his heart about how he likes that woman.
On the roof, a figure left without a sound, and Tie Zhu whispered to Shen Mingjiao all the things he heard and found.
