Shen Yi touched her head and said, "Don't make trouble, mother is still waiting at home."
Shen Wen closed his mouth, his eyes were immediately covered with tears, his thin eyebrows were frowned, and he looked at his elder brother resentfully.
Shen Yi sighed and said, "Then I'll send someone to buy it for you..."
Shen Wen laughed immediately, and interrupted: "I want to go by myself! I want to choose by myself!"
Shen Yi hesitated, but when Shen Wen saw it, he stopped smiling immediately, tears welled up again, and a large one stopped on the side of his lower eyelashes, and was about to fall off.
Seeing this, Shen Zhuo said, "Brother, let's just live from there."
Shen Xiang also said: "I also want to pick some snacks for my mother and grandmother."
Shen Jian whispered to Shen Yi: "There are so many of us, just buy a snack, it should be fine."
Shen Yi thought for a moment, and finally nodded. Shen Wen smiled through tears, pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and said, "Thank you, brother."
Shen Jian coughed: "And the second brother..."
"Where is the third brother..."
"Sister and me..."
Zhang Yunming also smiled and said, "Probably you should thank me, otherwise how would you know where to go?"
Shen Wen covered his face, and twisted his fatter body: "You guys are laughing at me, it's bad..."
Zhang Yunjin came to pull Shen Wen's hand and said, "No, no..."
Several people talked and laughed and walked to the gate of the mansion, the children of the two families saluted and bid farewell to each other, and Shen Xiang and Shen Wen got into the carriage again. This time, Shen Wen was visibly fidgeting in the car, asking Shen Xiang again and again: "Are we there yet?"
Shen Xiang smiled and pushed her: "Little greedy cat." The maids thought that Shen Wen still hadn't passed the test, and when he came, he could sit still and show his true face after having some snacks.
Soon, the carriage stopped, and it sounded like people were getting off their horses outside, Shen Wen screamed excitedly: "Are you here?!"
Outside the car, Shen Zhuo smiled and said, "Here we are, don't call it that, people think it's on fire."
Shen Wen pouted and said: "He said he won't bully me anymore." Shen Xiang smiled: "This is not bullying, it should be called a wake-up call."
The maids put a small stool under the car and helped Shen Wen get out of the car. Shen Wen hurriedly said: "I'm going to choose, choose by myself!" Shen Zhuo and Shen Jian next to him said repeatedly: "Let you choose, let you choose, don't be in such a hurry." Shen Xiang jumped out of the car all at once. , Shen Wen turned around and pulled her, giggling and said, "Sister, I'll go with you to pick some for mother and the others."
Shen Zhuo and several guards accompanied the two girls into the store chattering. The store owner looked at the guards in the clothes of the Beihou Mansion inside and outside the door and did not dare to treat them well. He showed them all kinds of dim sum and asked them to try it. So Shen Wen's exclamation often came from inside: "I want this!... And this!... Ah! This is so good!"
Shen Yi and Shen Jian stood outside, smiling wryly at each other, Shen Jian sighed: "This is the first time for my little sister to go out of the house, see if she is happy."
After a cup of tea, Shen Wencai and Shen Xiang reluctantly came out. Shen Wen's face was full of smiles, and he said loudly to Shen Yi: "Brother, we even picked out some snacks for you!" The guards carried the snacks they picked out in large and small boxes. Shen Zhuo said to Shen Yi: "Hurry up, or they will buy this store."
The maids embraced Shen Wen and Shen Xiang and walked into the car. Shen Yi and the others were about to mount their horses. Suddenly, a scream came from the crowd, and a girl with disheveled hair rushed to the guard's feet, crying loudly. : "Help me! Help me!" Seeing this, several people in the distance rushed over.
This girl is naturally Su Wanniang. She hid at the base of a nearby wall, disheveled, and remained unobtrusive. She ate the package of snacks, but there was no water, but she didn't dare to leave because she was afraid of missing the hour. Seeing that the time was passing, a group of sturdy guards came, and the people on the street hurriedly avoided. Amidst the noise, a familiar voice rang out: "Are you there?"
Su Wanniang's heart felt like an awl had been pierced, she's here! Looking at those strong guards and the three handsome and proud young men surrounded by them, Su Wanniang finally believed in the girl's words: she will definitely save herself!
She quietly moved to a place close to the guards, and softly asked the onlookers: "Who are these people?"
One person said without looking back: "Oh, it's the Zhenbeihou Mansion, we are the first military general in the court..."
"Is that the eldest son of the Hou Mansion?"
"Second Young Master is also..."
"Hey, what day is it today? It's so exciting?"
"It seems that the little girl wants to buy some snacks..."
"Hey, I heard that the youngest daughter of the Hou Mansion is a little trash..."
Su Wanniang gritted her teeth, turned her head to look, there were people from Wanhualou watching back and forth in the distance, it seemed that they were the ones who came to arrest her. Outside the store, the crowd was loose, and at the familiar voice, she saw a round, smiling little girl. Su Wanniang's heart agitated, that child has already arranged everything for her, this is her chance to survive, it's up to her now! She spotted the gap in the crowd and jumped out.
Hearing the girl's cry, Shen Yi put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist. Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo immediately stood beside Shen Wen and Shen Xiang, and Shen Xiang pulled Shen Wen behind him. Shen Wen poked his head forward curiously, and asked, "What happened? What happened?"
Su Wanniang burst into tears: "Help me, I don't want to fall into the Wanhua Building! They bought me by force, my mother is sick, and my brother is only four years old! I don't want to be in the Wanhua Building! Help me!" "She spoke clearly, and she explained everything clearly in a few words. She hadn't drank water for so long, her lips were chapped, and after these words, blood oozed from her lips, which shocked anyone who saw it.
The onlookers started to discuss, and a few men came up and grabbed her shoulders, Su Wanniang struggled: "Help me! They are from Wanhualou! They want to take me back! I don't want to go back! I Mother is still sick—" She cried hoarsely.
Shen Yi frowned and didn't speak. Shen Wen asked curiously: "Where is Wanhualou? Does it also sell dim sum?" Her childish voice was very clear when the girl was crying.
Someone chuckled: "Sell dim sum? Hehe, it's a butcher..."
The crowd was buzzing about, a Chunlou, this girl... Everyone immediately had a feeling in their hearts, the people who looked sideways at Wanhualou, who are so attractive in the street, are not selling snacks, but so blatant...
Shen Jian looked at Shen Yi, and Shen Yi said: "Let's go back to the house." Before getting on the horse, Shen Jian whispered: "This is to force a good man into prostitution, should we just ignore it?"
Shen Wen heard it, and asked clearly and crisply: "What do you mean by forcing a good woman into prostitution?"
People's discussion became louder: "Isn't that the case?" "The government doesn't care?"
Outside the guards, the people from Wanhualou began to drag Su Wanniang away. Some bystanders said something, and the person who came said arrogantly: "This is our Wanhualou who escaped! There is a bond of prostitution, so go We are all polite in the Yamen!"
Su Wanniang cried out with all her strength: "They took me here! Help! You will kill my family! My mother is seriously ill in bed. If something happens to her, what will my brother do!"
Shen Wen burst into tears, and said with a choked voice: "She is so pitiful, if her mother goes away, that little brother will not be able to live..." After speaking, he burst into tears.
Shen Zhuo couldn't see it, and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute! Are you robbing people like this in broad daylight?"
Su Wanniang heard this, and struggled desperately to this side, shouting loudly: "Help me! I would rather be a servant than live in a whore!"
The people next to him started talking about something like "Marquis of Zhenbei...willing to die without saving...do not want to cause trouble..."
Shen Yi sighed, motioned the guards to get out of the way, and stepped forward. Seeing him coming, those Wanhualou people had no choice but to let go of Su Wanniang, and bowed to Shen Yi. Su Wanniang sat on the ground and cried, her face was covered with dirt and tears, and she couldn't see her face.
Shen Wen broke away from Shen Xiang's hand and followed Shen Yi, Shen Jian, Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang quickly followed. One of the people from Wanhualou said to Shen Yi just now: "Please forgive me, my lord, we are just chasing the fugitive slave..."
Before Shen Yi could speak, Shen Wen wiped his tears and said to the girl: "Don't cry, do you want to be my maid?"
Su Wanniang immediately leaned over and said to Shen Wen: "I am willing to serve Miss as a slave, like a cow or a horse!"
Shen Wen turned to Shen Yi with tears on his face, "Brother, you see she agreed, let her be my maid."
Su Wanniang burst into tears and saluted Shen Wen deeply.
In the presence of a large crowd, Shen Yi had no choice but to hold back his breath, and said to the people in Wanhualou with a cold face: "My mansion has bought her." He turned to the two guards and said, "Let them go to get the deed of sale, and then lead them to the Hou mansion. Go get the silver." Then he said to the other two guards: "Follow her home and bring her mother and younger brother to the Hou Mansion."
The man from Wanhualou said: "Wanhualou doesn't want to sell her! You are buying her by force..."
Before he finished speaking, a guard raised his hand and slapped him to the ground, scolding him, "How dare you scold the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, you slave is getting impatient."
Another guard pulled out his waist knife, the surface of the knife reflected the sunlight for a while, and then inserted the knife back into the sheath with a "clang".
Everyone was silent, Zhenbeihou was a military general in charge of the army, these guards were not ordinary family servants, they were all people who had been recruited and killed on the battlefield.
Shen Yi said to Shen Wen indifferently: "Go back to the car."
Shen Wen still had tears on his face, looked at him carefully, and said like a mosquito: "Thank you, brother."
Shen Yi turned around and said in a deep voice, "Get on your horse and go home!"
For a while, people got on their horses, and those who got on their cars got on their cars, and a group of people drove away. Several wolf-like guards accompanied the people from Wanhualou and Su Wanniang to leave.
Shen Wen knew that the matter was mostly over.
Su Wanniang's temperament is extremely strong, and she obeys her father's instruction to keep her innocence. In the previous life, if the prince hadn't gone that night, she might have endured it and become a generation of famous prostitutes, waiting for an opportunity to seduce the prince, and then assassinate when she was alone with the prince. But on the last night of her Qing Dynasty, the prince went to her ball, and she had a chance to preserve her innocence and assassinate the prince. She knew that one blow would kill her, but she still stepped forward, not seeking to stab the opponent to death, but only wishing to spread her name to the world and ruin the prince's reputation, which shows her determination.
As long as such a person enters the Hou's Mansion, facing the chance of leaving Wanhualou, he will definitely go all out to stay. I just need to pay attention to her not to use too strong means...
Shen Wen looked uneasy in the car, and almost crushed the handkerchief with both hands in front of him. Shen Xiang couldn't bear to see her worrying so much, and said angrily: "Don't be so timid, why don't you just buy a maid? Xia Hong next to you is also getting old. A few days ago, my mother said that it's time to make people's teeth come back." , what's wrong with buying it at this time? That girl is what she wants."
Shen Wen didn't make a sound, but kept crying, which made Shen Xiang depressed.
Shen Xiang also understood that in a place like the Hou's Mansion, how could it be possible for someone to be a maid casually? Except for children born at home, if you buy someone from outside, every time you have a guarantor, you will only buy after finding out the details of the other party. I bought it from the street like this, and even my eldest brother was angry, let alone my mother. But seeing Shen Wen's pitiful appearance, he secretly decided to intercede for Shen Wen later.
Outside the car, Shen Yi whispered to Shen Jian: "Take someone to investigate that girl's family background."
Shen Jian nodded, but also whispered: "It's just a girl, she looks like a big sister."
Shen Yi sighed: "Father is not here, we always have to be careful."
After returning home, the group went to see Mrs. Yang immediately. Someone had already reported that they had come back on a flying horse, and told them what happened on the road. As soon as the five children entered the hall, they saw Mrs. Yang sitting in the center with a serious face, and the old lady was also sitting on the other side with a slight frown.
When Shen Wen saw it, he burst into tears immediately, shaking all over.
Mrs. Yang didn't speak, the old lady softened first, and said, "Why is Wen'er crying?"
Shen Wen twitched, and hiccupped a few words: "I...look at her...poor...her mother...is sick...brother...will he die?...I want her...to be my maid...uh...it's time to come I asked my mother and said... I was wrong... not next time... I bought some snacks for... mother and grandmother... it was delicious... woo... "
Shen Yi said: "It happened suddenly, my sister was just soft-hearted, I ordered someone to buy that maid, and asked the guards to bring her mother and younger brother to the mansion to see if she was telling the truth, and tomorrow I will investigate her life experience. "
Yang frowned and said: "Take people from the brothel, don't you know that you will be in trouble if you do this? It is said that we have taken a fancy to the people from Wanhualou, what about the reputation of our mansion? It was you who came out again, You are about to propose a marriage, what about your reputation?"
Shen Wen cried even louder: "I'm sorry... sorry... it's what I... want... big brother... what can I do... wow! wow!"
Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "Little sister is in love with... the person my family is in love with, how can I not take it?"
Shen Zhuo said: "That's right, isn't our Hou's Mansion not as good as a Wanhualou?!"
Shen Xiang also said: "Mother, doesn't my younger sister just want a maid? It's not like the moon in the sky of Jinshan Yinshan or something, why can't it? Besides, it's the girl who has admitted herself that she wants to be her sister's maid."
Shen Jian said slowly: "My younger sister has always been sensible and reasonable. It is a good thing to help the weak and the poor..."
Yang scolded: "What do you know?! Before your father left, he repeatedly told you not to cause trouble. Have you forgotten?!"
Shen Yi said stubbornly: "Mother, calm down, everyone was watching at that time, if we don't save us, it will also damage our family's reputation."
The old lady thought that Yang's genealogy was too big, so she just yelled in front of her, and didn't take her seriously. At this time, he waved to Shen Wen and said: "Wen'er, come to grandma, what is there to cry for Wen'er like this! Isn't she just a maid? It takes Wen'er's tears to buy it? Zhenbei Hou's mansion has never been afraid of trouble." Damn, Wen'er doesn't need to cry, just say something."
She took out a handkerchief and wiped Shen Wen's tears, "The girl's family will come later, let's see if she lied, if she lied, we will deal with her and not return her to Wanhualou. If you are not lying, our Hou Mansion has done a good thing and saved her, so there is nothing to worry about!" After speaking, he let out a sigh of relief, and glanced at Yang with disdain from the corner of his eyes.
Yang's anger is bitter, and for whom is she so frightened? If she was only thinking about herself, why wouldn't she dare to do it? But when her husband left, he said that he had entrusted the children and his mother to her, and she only hoped that one more thing would be better than one less thing, and that he would be safe and sound. She has vaguely heard that some people say that Wen'er is not good, and now if there are rumors that the eldest son of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion robbed the girl from the brothel, and her reputation will be damaged in the future, how can she convince the crowd and lead the army? How can she be worthy of her husband
While talking, it was rumored that the girl and her family were brought here. Yang raised his chin, motioned the children to stand aside, and said, "Bring them all in!" With a harsh tone, Shen Wen shivered.
The old lady gave Yang a dissatisfied look, stretched out her hand to caress Shen Wen's back, and whispered: "Grandmother decides for you, don't be afraid."
While talking in the room, several women came in with Su Wanniang, and the two behind them lifted a door panel, on which lay a woman. A little boy took the woman's hand and walked in together.
Su Wanniang entered the door, immediately knelt on the ground and saluted, "Thank you Madam for saving my life."
The woman on the door panel struggled to sit up, and said: "Nujia... Mrs. Pan..." But she couldn't get up, she just tugged at the boy's hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Go...thank..."
Shen Wen saw that Mrs. Pan was already thin and out of shape, but there were still traces of beauty in her eyebrows and eyes.
The little boy was very handsome, he came up to salute politely, and said in a childish voice: "Thank you on behalf of my mother..." He stopped, blinked at Su Wanniang, Su Wanniang said in a low voice: "Ma'am." The little boy nodded and continued: "Thank you ma'am, for saving my sister."
The old lady sighed loudly, and turned away from looking at Mrs. Yang.
Yang's face softened, and she said softly, "What's your name? Are your father and brother here?"
Su Wanniang bowed her head and said: "My surname is Su and my name is Wanniang. I have no elder brothers. My father Su Changting was originally an official of the household department. He died in prison, his family property was confiscated, and my mother got sick. Help, my mother and my younger brother are in danger."
Yang's complexion darkened again, this time the old lady stopped talking, and Shen Yi frowned slightly.
Shen Wen didn't seem to notice, she shook the old lady's hand with wide eyes, and asked: "Her mother is indeed ill, and her younger brother is also very young, she didn't lie, can she become my maid?"
The room was quiet, and even Mrs. Yang didn't speak. Finally, the old lady sighed slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's fine if it's an ordinary family, but she is the daughter of a prisoner..."
Shen Wen asked: "What is the daughter of a prisoner?"
Su Wanniang looked up, and said with tears in her eyes: "Although my father died in prison, he was not convicted of any crime. My home was raided, and he only said that he wanted to collect evidence, but until now, he has not given an explanation. Teach me innocence, I do not believe he has sinned."
Mrs. Yang also sighed: "That's what you say...but everyone's mouth can make money, and the Hou's mansion can't..."
Shen Wen cried again: "But I thought...she was already my maid..." She looked disappointed and painful.
Yang said solemnly: "She can't stay here, we will give her her deed of sale and let her go home."
Shen Wen cried and said: "Then...those...won't those people from Hualou look for her again?"
Yang said, "That's not my family's business."
Shen Zhuo whispered: "Then others will say that my house is afraid of Wanhualou..."
Shen Xiang said unconvinced: "Yes! Others thought we were wrong..."
Yang raised her eyebrows and said: "What will others say about taking the prisoner's daughter as a slave?! If someone troubles the Hou's mansion..."
Su Wanniang knelt straight, and saluted again: "Madam! Su Wanniang thanked Madam, son, and young ladies for their help! I hope Madam will help my mother and my younger brother secretly in the future, and don't let them..." Before she finished speaking, she stood up abruptly , and hit the pillars in the hall!
Everyone in the room exclaimed, Shen Wen had long been on guard against her doing this, quickly closed his eyes, and tapped Su Wanniang's Huantiao acupoint with conscious force, Su Wanniang's legs softened, and the force was greatly reduced. At this time, Shen Xiang was flying forward, hugged Su Wanniang in the air, and the two of them rolled to the ground together, rolling a few times.
Shen Wen opened his eyes, immediately cried loudly, ran over, and called, "Sister!"
The little boy ran over and also called, "Sister! Sister!"
The two children collided in one place, and after falling to the ground, they both crawled to the place where Shen Xiang and Su Wanniang landed.
Pan Shi on the door rolled to the ground, then passed out without moving.
Shen Yi shouted loudly: "Go to the doctor!" When Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo came to Shen Xiang's side, they said repeatedly: "How is the eldest sister?" "Where are you hurt?" "But dizzy?"
Shen Xiang said "Ouch", sat up, shook his shoulders and said, "Fortunately, I'm not hurt."
Su Wanniang supported her body with one hand and was about to sit up. The boy threw herself into her arms and cried, "Sister! What are you doing?!" Su Wanniang hugged her younger brother and cried too...
Shen Wen cried and came to Shen Xiang's side, took her hand, then went to pull Su Wanniang, sobbing and said: "Okay... that's good... otherwise I... I won't live..." These words are really serious.
The maids and women in the room were in chaos, the old lady slapped the table, people's voices became quieter, only the crying of a few children remained.
The old lady said: "When the old Hou Ye was young, he personally led more than a thousand people to go behind the enemy and raid the army of the Beirong commander. In that battle, more than a thousand soldiers returned to less than a hundred, and the old Hou Ye was shot three times. Knife and two arrows, lucky enough to survive." She was a little choked up. All the people in the room were silent, not understanding why the old lady said such a thing at this juncture.
"I, the son of the Shen family, do not hesitate to live for the country, and do not hesitate to die for the people. I am not afraid of powerful enemies, and I will not surrender even to death. The shrouded body of horse leather is also a hero." The old lady continued to say, "The Marquis of Zhenbei has a great reputation. , is unmatched among generals, but even before my Shen family won the title, there was never a precedent for letting a girl commit suicide to protect the reputation of the Shen family and avoid right and wrong!"
After the old lady finished speaking, she got up slowly, sighed, "Look what kind of situation Wen'er has been forced into..." and left on her own.
Yang's face was flushed, obviously the old lady cared about the prisoner's daughter, how could it be her fault in the end? There were tears in her eyes, and she suppressed it for a long time before she said: "Wen'er, that's your maid, you look at the arrangements." She also stood up, and Shen Wen immediately ran over, hugged Yang and said, "Mother, Don't be angry, I'm the one who caused Nyonya trouble."
Mrs. Yang shook her head, touched Shen Wen's head and said: "Mother is confused, you take that child to clean up, and find someone to see a doctor for her mother, and our family will pay her..." I couldn't hold back my tears , pushed Shen Wen away and hurried away.
Seeing Mrs. Yang go away, Shen Wen turned around, found Shen Yi who was standing aside and said, "Brother... Did I really cause trouble?"
Shen Yi smiled and patted Shen Wen's head: "How could my little sister get into trouble? My little sister is a good boy."
So far, the big event has been accomplished, Shen Wen sincerely showed a comfortable look, and smiled through tears.
Just like Shen Wen's guess beforehand, as long as Su Wanniang is brought into the gate of the Hou Mansion, she will definitely try her best to fight for it. If she can't be saved, she will fight to the death and let the Hou Mansion take care of her mother and brother because of guilt. This kind of tough, soft-hearted old lady can't compete with the superficial Yang Shi, and Su Wanniang will definitely get her wish. I just need to make sure that Su Wanniang doesn't really die.
Now that the dust has settled, Shen Wen feels somewhat guilty that the other party took advantage of the feelings of his relatives. Just as he was thinking about how to act like a baby to make up for it, Shen Xiang had already stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and said to Su Wanniang: "You are so confused, why don't you give up?" Just talk to my mother. When I have something to do, I won’t do it once, but I will definitely do it three or four times last time. How can I kill myself?”
Su Wanniang thought that it was you, you are the wife's daughter, of course it would be enough to say it three or four times. If he didn't seek death like this, he would be sent back. Of course she couldn't speak out, she could only cry in a low voice without speaking.
Shen Wen saw that Shen Xiang was now persuading Su Wanniang not to seek death, but she herself committed suicide in her previous life, and she felt sad for a moment, and the apology that had just surged up in her heart disappeared.
She felt relieved, and seeing Su Wanniang still hugging her younger brother sobbing, she opened the box from the pile of snacks on the table next to her, took a piece of snack, went to squat down in front of them, and handed the snack to the little boy , Said: "Come on, eat something, it's..." She pretended to frown and think, Shen Zhuo also squatted down when she came over: "Suppress the shock." Shen Wen nodded hurriedly.
The little boy took the snack, looked at Su Wanniang, and handed it to her. Su Wanniang sobbed and shook her head, pointing to the little boy's mouth. The little boy turned to look for his mother, saw Pan lying on the ground, and yelled again. With a sound of mother, Su Wanniang also looked up and saw it, and also screamed, and the two rushed to Pan's side, crying again...
The doctor came, saw Pan and prescribed medicine. Yang's housekeeper arranged a house and took Su Wanniang's mother Pan and her younger brother to rest. The maid in Shen Wen's yard took Su Wanniang to the place where Shen Wen lived.
A few children here discussed, took snacks and went to see Mrs. Yang and the old lady respectively. Shen Wen tried his best to act cute and coquettish, and almost rolled all over the floor. Finally, he coaxed both of them well and came out. Had dinner.
The old lady also felt that today's words were too heavy, so she didn't say anything at dinner. Yang Shi silently listened to Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang's report on the trivial matters in Marquis Pingyuan, and occasionally smiled to deal with it. After the meal everyone said good night, Shen Wen went back to the yard to freshen up, it was already dark.
Sitting by the bed, Shen Wen felt exhausted. She hardly slept last night. She went to Pingyuan Hou Mansion this morning, snatched Su Wanniang in the afternoon, and went to persuade others. But she knew that some things must be arranged as soon as possible, so she said to Xia Hong: "Where is the maid I bought today? I want to see her."
Although Xia Hong didn't care much about Shen Wen, she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive at this time. She has served Shen Wen for seven years, and Shen Wen has never been so affectionate to her, but now she actually made such a fuss about a strange girl, so she said: "It's getting late, Miss, go to bed first."
Shen Wen suppressed his impatience, and said coquettishly: "I want to see her, let her come!"
Xia Hong had no choice but to go out and say, "Let the newcomer come to see Miss." There was displeasure in her tone.
Su Wanniang was taken to the courtyard to bathe and change clothes, and a woman in the courtyard treated her as a maid and gave her a series of rules. Su Wanniang also has a maid at home, so she naturally understands the procedure. Maybe there was some emotion in her heart, but she had suffered even more cruel tortures than this in Wanhualou, so she didn't feel depressed at this moment. That child rescued her from the Ten Thousand Flowers Tower, and allowed her mother to see a doctor, so what happened to the rough servant girl? He agreed quietly, with a resigned look.
She has been here for such a short time, and occasionally heard the maids talking about Shen Wen, the young lady of the Hou Mansion, most of them were a little contemptuous. What "I know how to cry..." "I don't know when I get into trouble..." "It's not as good as the eldest lady..."
She now somewhat understands the reason why Shen Wen asked her to be a maid. It seems that no one in the yard cares about Shen Wen. But why the child spent so much effort to find himself, instead of buying a few people from the street or the matchmaker to teach him, she was a little puzzled. Seeing that the madam and the old madam in this mansion are not tricky people, they are good to this child, her elder brother and elder sister are obviously very protective of her, why can't she ask generously? Why did she hide her temperament and make such a stupid and crybaby look? Su Wanniang also has a lot of questions.
Hearing that Shen Wen was going to see her so soon, Su Wanniang was delighted, and hurriedly followed her mother-in-law to Shen Wen's room. Along the way, there were cold snorts from the maids. After Su Wanniang washed her face, everyone saw that she was beautiful, and immediately do not like.
Xia Hong was also taken aback when she saw Su Wanniang coming in, and Shen Wen immediately shouted: "Oh! You look so good-looking!" Jumping off the bed, she pulled her shoes and Su Wanniang's hand and sat on the side of the bed together. He looked at her stupidly and said, "Why are you so pretty?"
Su Wanniang lowered her head pretending to be embarrassed, and whispered, "Miss praised you."
Xia Hong bit her lower lip, forced a smile and said, "Since Miss likes her, let's give her a name."
The maidservants in Shen Xiang and Shen Wen's yard started with spring and summer, while those in Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo's yards started with autumn and winter, and only the maids in Shen Yi's yard started with the word "green", which coincided with the blue uniforms of Shen's army. Some people think it is a gift to name a newly purchased maid, but for those who have a family background, it is a shame to abandon their ancestors. This girl is the daughter of a prisoner. It turns out that she came from a family of officials, so she should be a little arrogant.
Shen Wen stared at Su Wanniang with wide eyes, and said with a smile: "I like your name, let's call you Wanniang!"
Xia Hong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss, this is against the rules."
Shen Wen blinked vigorously, looked at Xia Hong and said, "But mother said... let me watch the arrangement..." She looked puzzled.
Su Wanniang couldn't see Xia Hong pressing Shen Wen so much, so she said, "Miss, don't break the rules."
Shen Wen looked at Su Wanniang again, and smiled childishly: "Then what name do you want?"
Xia Hong frowned, and let this Su Wanniang choose her own name? Su Wanniang felt hot in her heart, it was the same as a man who picked up his own characters after he became an adult, without any sense of humiliation at all, she lowered her head slightly and said, "Miss, this word starts with Xia, can you just call me Xia Wan?"
Xia Hong rushed to say: "The back should be a color."
However, Shen Wen waved his hands impatiently and said: "It's Xia Wan, I like this name! You are so beautiful, you just have to be different from other people!" The child's words were unscrupulous, and brought a lot of hatred to Su Wanniang.
Xia Hong's complexion was not good, and she held back her anger and said: "It's getting late, Miss, you'd better go to bed, otherwise Madam will be offended again tomorrow." Then get angry.
Su Wanniang's face darkened, she didn't expect the servant to speak so rudely to Shen Wen, and the young lady was bullied like this. Shen Wen smiled ignorantly and said: "Sister Wanniang, oh, sister Xia Wan sleeps with me! Sometimes I forget, can I just call you Sister Wanniang?"
Su Wanniang said: "It's all up to Miss." Her tone was gentle.
Xia Hong pursed her lips, and said to Su Wanniang: "Then you take care of the young lady!" After speaking, she turned around and left, as if she was picking her up. She's getting married soon anyway, who wants to worry about this stupid and silly young lady!
Shen Wen said with a smile: "Let's go to bed soon, I'm sleepy." After speaking, he rolled onto the bed.
Su Wanniang nodded and agreed: "I'll tidy up, and I'll be here." She got up to wash up again, then came back to check the doors and windows, saw Shen Wen in the bed with her eyes closed, thinking that the child had already fallen asleep, she gently put down the curtain, carefully Lie on the outside of the bed.
As soon as she lay down, she felt that Shen Wen came over with one hand, took her hand, and pulled her in. Su Wanniang said softly, "I'll just sleep outside."
Shen Wen said tiredly: "Come on, come on, I want to talk to you."
Su Wanniang turned around and squeezed Shen Wen's hand, and whispered, "Thank you..."
Shen Wen squeezed her hand, Su Wanniang stopped, Shen Wen didn't speak for a long time, the surroundings were quiet. Su Wanniang once again thought that Shen Wen was going to sleep, and she was also very tired, so she stopped talking, and just about to close her eyes, she heard Shen Wen whispering in her ear: "Sister Wanniang, from now on, you will be my assistant , my right-hand man. We advance together and retreat together, and we cannot abandon each other!"
