Chapter 78 The real daughter, she quit (24)

Haiyao just smiled and said nothing, after telling Chunxi, she didn't mention it again.

Fortunately, Chunxi is also clever and loyal, and everything is strictly carried out according to the wishes of the master. When she met the maid in Luyuan again, Chunxi ate two pieces of sugar cake from the other party, and then she seemed to be unintentional. Mentioned the third son of the Sima County government.

Fortunately, she only heard others say that the third young master Sima is a dude, and she doesn't know the grievances and grievances between the other party and her own lady. Otherwise, she must be in a state of confusion at the moment, and she can't understand Haiyao's situation at all. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.

After getting this precious news, the maid in Luyuan immediately found an excuse and left without delay.

As for Wu Jinzhen's reaction after hearing that the person Haiyao really likes is the third son of the Sima County government, others have no way of knowing, only that the other party has been tossing hard in Fuyuan and Luyuan for two days. , there was no movement, maybe after Song's persuasion day and night, he thought about it and resigned to his fate.

For the next half a month, apart from going to Qingsongyuan and Fuyuan every day to say hello to Qingsongyuan and Fuyuan every day, Haiyao just stayed in her glass courtyard for the rest of the time, like an old monk who had escaped worldly desires, full of All I can think about is meditation.

During this period, Wu Jinrou didn't know for what purpose, she either sent a maid over or came to the door in person, and invited her to the parties held by the ladies of various houses over and over again, as if the unhappiness that night had never happened between the two of them. .

Regarding this, Haiyao just frowned coldly, and rejected them all out of words, as if she didn't want to continue to maintain a superficial peace with her.

Even when Mrs. Zhao wanted to bring the two of them to the occasion, Li Haiyao would only go there once or twice out of five times. Naturally, Mrs. Zhao was a little surprised, not understanding what happened between the two children.

She intentionally wanted to reconcile it, but it was a pity that one with an innocent face asked questions and the other was cold and silent, and coupled with the fact that the affairs of the mansion were really busy, she had no choice but to shelve this matter temporarily.

The woman comforted herself in her heart that even sisters would have quarrels, and girls of this age would probably get together and chatter as if nothing had happened after a while.

After a few more days like this, Haiyao guessed that the time should be ripe, whether it was Wu Jinrou or Wu Jinzhen's pent-up breath was almost close to the limit, and she finally made a move.

On a sunny day that wasn't particularly stuffy, after she greeted Mrs. Zhao, she ordered her servants to set up a carriage, and led Chunxi briskly towards the gate of the mansion.

I never thought that when passing by the garden, I would meet Wu Jinrou who had been waiting halfway in advance.

After counting, the two haven't seen each other for six or seven days, and the other party still has that obedient and docile appearance. Seeing her coming, he smiled kindly: "Big sister is in such a hurry, she is going to where?"

"I don't know when it will be sister Jinrou's turn to be in charge of the Wu Mansion? Why, do I need your permission to go where?" Haiyao's mouth was sharp, and there was no room for affection or leeway in what she said.

Even the tough tone attracted visits and soft discussions from several passing servants in the mansion.

Wu Jinrou's face turned pale, and her whole body swayed from side to side as if she was about to lose her standing: "Big sister, I'm just expressing my concern, why are you being sarcastic?"

"I can't bear sister Jinrou's concern. If there is nothing else, you should get out of the way. I'm in a hurry." Haiyao frowned impatiently, raised her foot and planned to walk around the other party .

"Recently there have been a lot of refugees fleeing from the famine in the west of Beijing, but it's not peaceful. Big sister, it's better not to run around alone, so as not to be bumped by those who don't have eyes." Wu Jinrou continued softly Said, on the surface it seems to be a reminder, but in fact it may not be uninspiring.

Sure enough, Haiyao just snorted coldly, and her expression became more and more displeased: "Refugee? Sister Jinrou is mocking me as one of those people?"

When the Wang family went bankrupt and fled all the way back to the capital, they were no different from today's refugees. Just because of this, they knew that the people on the other side had no good intentions.

However, she is not a vegetarian either, and she smiled meaningfully after glancing at her twice: "I heard that the Wang family settled down in the XC area after receiving a sum of money from their mother. Are you looking forward to going back to have a look at your biological daughter every day?"

Throwing this lore sentence, Haiyao left in a hurry. After several observations, Wu Jinrou couldn't bear others to mention the Wang family and his wife. The couple seemed to have an indelible shame deep in each other's heart. She is reminded all the time that she is no longer the concubine daughter of a university scholar.

Sure enough, after she left, Wu Jinrou, who was still standing beside the blooming flowers, slowly but firmly clenched his hands hanging by his sides into fists under the cover of his wide sleeves.

Wu Haiyao, you forced me to do this.

………………

Leaving aside what kind of calculations Wu Jinrou had in mind, here Haiyao just stepped over the high threshold of the mansion with her right foot, but suddenly a call came from behind her.

"The hall sister is going out?"

Turning around, I saw Wu Jinzhen walking quickly here with the maid beside her. She was wearing the usual bright red and purple gorgeous clothes, surrounded by pearls and emeralds on her head. The condition is still good.

"Cousin Zhen." Haiyao asked slowly, and then showed a smile that was neither awkward nor embarrassing: "It's nothing else, it's just that I have been greedy for the past two days and want to eat Changshouzhai." The walnuts are crispy, and it happens that my mother also likes to eat their snacks, so I thought about going out and buying some."

Liar, there are eight if not ten servants running errands in the mansion, why bother a master to go out and buy something to eat?
Wu Jinzhen was thinking like this, but she didn't show any abnormality on her face, she just approached with a smile: "It just so happens that I'm going out to buy rouge, why don't we go together?"

While speaking, she had already stepped out of the gate first, and after she saw the carriage parked not far away, she went up directly with the help of the maid, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter: "Since If you’re going the same way, you don’t need to hail another car, sister, what are you doing in a daze? Come up quickly!”

Haiyao was very helpless, but she pretended to be nonchalant. The two of them sat facing each other in the not-so-spacious car, no matter how uncomfortable they looked.

In the end, Wu Jinzhen spoke first: "Don't blame the lobby girl, I made such a fuss a few days ago, I'm afraid I scared you all?"

"However, after two days of quarreling and the consolation of my mother and grandmother, I finally thought about it. The Zhou family was indeed a good marriage for me, and Zhou Lang was very kind to me that day. Now I Just wait for my aunt to arrange for the two to exchange the birthday horoscopes of me and Zhou Zhoulang, and we can get married with peace of mind."

When she said this, the girl looked shy and timid, as if she really didn't care.

When her words fell, Haiyao just twitched the corners of her mouth symbolically and didn't respond, but judging from the slightly relaxed shoulders, perhaps she had let go of some defenses in her heart.

Wu Jinzhen understands the principle of enough is enough, and after explaining the estrangement between the two, she quickly changed the subject: "Is Changshouzhai's dim sum really delicious? Then I will give it to my mother later." Bring some with grandma."

"By the way, I don't know if my cousin has heard that Ruxiangfang in the city has recently launched a few rouge powders. Not only are they fresh in appearance and beautiful in color, but even the taste is very rare! It's just that they are not very easy to buy. I will take them with you later. Go and have a look, if you can still buy one or two, that would be great."

Amidst her non-stop rambling, the carriage soon arrived at the gate of Ruxiangfang.

Hearing all kinds of yelling and selling outside, Haiyao stretched out her hand and opened a corner of the car curtain slightly, just like the scene of a sea of ​​people in front of the Xiangfang gate was presented in front of the eyes of the two people in the car.

Seeing this, Chun Xi, who was sitting with the coachman outside, jumped down very cleverly, and came back sweating profusely after squeezing back and forth among the crowd: "Return to the girl, the slave has asked the guy inside, It is said that those fresh styles of rouge and gouache have already been sold out, if you want it, you will have to hurry up tomorrow."

Haiyao nodded to show that she understood, but Wu Jinzhen next to her was really disappointed: "Oh? So many people standing outside didn't buy it? Why doesn't Ruxiangfang prepare more goods every day? Really Can't do business!"

"Isn't he very good at doing business?" Haiyao raised her eyebrows slightly: "The money needed for that box of fresh-style rouge can buy hundreds of ordinary rouge, and what people like Xiangfang want to do is only for the nobles in the city. For business, if there is one of these things in the city, how would the nobles find it strange?"

"Most of these businesses have connections with various prefectures. If Cousin Zhen wants it, I'll talk to my mother later, and make an appointment with the shopkeeper to bring the goods to your house and let you choose."

The usual success in her tone made Wu Jinzhen slightly stunned, and then boundless envy welled up in her heart.

Wu Xiuyuan is the third rank in this dynasty, so the family can have this kind of treatment. On the other hand, Zhou's family, a small editor definitely doesn't have such face.

Sima County Duke...Wu Jinzhen secretly chewed on this title, it is a second rank, it must be more glorious than a bachelor, right?

Just when she was slightly distracted, she didn't notice that the shopkeeper standing at the entrance of Ruxiangfang saluted very respectfully in this direction.

Soon the carriage moved again, and Haiyao's voice sounded again after an unknown period of time: "Cousin Zhen? Cousin Zhen?"

"Huh?" Wu Jinzhen returned to her senses, with a moment of panic on her face.

Haiyao Quan pretended not to see it, and leaned over to open the car curtain as if to get out of the car: "Changshou Zhai is here, didn't you say you want to bring some snacks for your aunt and grandmother?"

Wu Jinzhen nodded indiscriminately.

Just as the two of them got out of the carriage one after another and were about to enter the pastry shop, there was a loud sound of horseshoes from the end of the street.

The two stopped in their tracks, and both turned their faces slightly sideways to look at the past with some curiosity.
