Chapter 79 The real daughter, she quit (25)

However, the yellow sand all over the sky blocked everyone's sight to a certain extent, making it difficult to see the situation at the end of the street from such a long distance.

Gradually, the yellow sand tended to spread towards this side. Chunxi, who was standing beside her, waved her hands trying to keep the dust from approaching Haiyao's body, and at the same time suggested: "Girl, let's hurry in and keep standing." If you don’t keep it here, you will eat a mouthful of sand.”

Haiyao looked away when she heard the words, nodded and headed towards the pastry shop first.

Wu Jinzhen was also afraid that the clothes she was wearing today would be soiled, so she hurriedly followed behind her.

As soon as you step into this Changshou Zhai, you can smell the sweet and greasy fragrance that permeates the air and belongs to pastries. The index finger moved.

Amidst the staff's very warm reception, Haiyao stretched out her hand and casually ordered a few kinds of dim sum. Taking advantage of the time when the store packed them, she turned her head and asked, "Cousin Zhen, the tea in Changshouzhai is also very famous. , why don't we go upstairs to ask for a pot of tea, rest our feet and go back?"

Faced with this proposal, there is no reason for Wu Jinzhen to disagree. It seems that she has been in Beijing for some time. Wu Jinrou also took her around the capital before, but she has never brought her here. Pretty decent place for the price.

In addition, she didn't forget that the purpose of following out with shamelessness today was to verify one thing. Before she found out anything, she naturally didn't want to go back home so easily.

Haiyao didn't seem to notice the erratic eyes of the people around her. After ordering Chunxi and the shopkeeper to serve a pot of good tea and a few pastries, she went upstairs along the wooden stairs with good texture.The spacious place upstairs is divided into several relatively private spaces by the veil hanging from the roof. There are not many people staying here to drink tea, and they all speak softly, so it seems that the surroundings are very quiet. quiet.

They chose a place near the window, and not long after the two sat down, the waiter brought a pot of boiling tea and a few pieces of exquisitely shaped pastries.

The warm tea soup neutralizes the sweetness of the pastry very well, and it collides with the long aftertaste aroma in the mouth. Wu Jinzhen squinted her eyes with some enjoyment: "No wonder my aunt likes the pastry of Changshouzhai. It tastes really good. Different from others."

"It's just why there are not many customers in their house?"

Before Haiyao could respond, Chun Xi raised her chin slightly, and spoke quickly: "Miss Tang doesn't know that Changshou Zhai has always been famous in Beijing. famous."

"Just the few pieces of cakes under Miss Tang's eyelids plus that pot of tea are worth two taels of silver!"

Two liang of silver is enough for some ordinary people to live well for a few months, but in the end they got these few snacks that don't feel very satisfying after eating?
Wu Jinzhen was naturally very surprised, because her family had a lot of property in Raocheng, and also under the subtle influence of the Song family and Wu Xiucai, she always felt that although Wu Xiuyuan was an official of the court, he might not be so well off.

A third-rank bachelor, the Hanlin Academy is still a Qingshui yamen, can they support the extravagant life of a wife and daughter at home?

It's no wonder that Mrs. Song has always been thinking about making her an official wife. Wu Jinzhen's thoughts gradually drifted away, and she subconsciously remembered the sweetheart of the lobby girl sitting opposite her, whom her maid had inquired about.

The third son of the Sima County government.

The county magistrate is different from other officials. According to the rules of this dynasty, there is a fief for taxation, and he will obviously be richer than other officials.

Wu Jinzhen took a sip of the green tea in the cup, and the already mellow taste became more intense with the blessing of money, and she even began to picture in her mind how magnificent the Sima County Government House looked like.

No wonder these two cousins ​​look down on last Zhou Lang, even if a man is motivated, maybe after a lifetime of hard work, he is only a small official of the sixth or seventh rank... She lowered her eyelids to hide the resentment in the depths of her eyes .

The girl's sudden silence just made the corners of Haiyao's mouth twitch in a subtle arc.

The capital is rich and charming. If you have truly seen the prosperity in it, you will be admirable if you can continue to stick to your heart, isn't it?

She has never been a lenient person, if anyone provokes her, then don't think that she can escape unscathed.

At this time, there was a familiar sound of horseshoes from far to near, Haiyao turned her head and looked downstairs through the half-open window. It should be the group of people who were originally making trouble at the end of the street came here.

Sure enough, when the sand stirred up by the horseshoes gradually fell, one could clearly see that there were several young masters sitting on the backs of the five or six tall horses that had stopped.Judging from their clothes and the small items they wore, these people must have a good family background.

Afterwards, the young masters dismounted one after another. Amidst the snorting of horses, the shopkeeper of the opposite restaurant rushed out to meet him, with a respectful and obsequious attitude, and the bent waist did not straighten the whole time. Pass.

"Hey, my little one greets all the young masters..."

"According to the young master's request, we have already reserved the best place upstairs, please, please!"

The young masters first handed over the horses to the guys in the restaurant, and then entered inside one after another.However, there was a young man in a purple brocade robe, who paused for a second as if he felt something the moment he stepped on the steps of the restaurant, and then looked around suspiciously.

Finally, when he raised his head, he saw the two figures sitting behind a window on the second floor of Changshou Zhai opposite.

Sima Yang fixedly stared at the beauty's face on the left for a long time, and all the unbearable memories of Cao Shilang's residence flooded out at this moment, making his eyes turn a faint red color.

Stumbling can probably describe his situation that day very well. More importantly, after waking up from a coma, he had no idea what happened in that guest room that day.

Whether it was related to or not related to the eldest daughter of the Wu family who had just returned to the mansion, Sima Yang didn't even dare to be sure, so he could only suffer the loss of being dumb.

It's not that he doesn't want to figure it out, it's just that it's as difficult as heaven for him to see a woman who doesn't leave the door and never leaves.

As his thoughts returned, Sima Yang simply turned around and smiled undisguisedly at the second floor opposite with his hands behind his hands, his long and narrow eyes showing endless evil charm.

Facing the scene in front of her, Haiyao suppressed the nausea in her chest, looked away, and rolled her eyes unscrupulously by wiping the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief while lowering her head.

But Wu Jinzhen on the opposite side had never met such a bold and passionate opposite sex. That Zhou Zhoulang was good-bye, but he had a too dull temper, and his demeanor was incomparable with the one standing outside the opposite restaurant.

"Sister in the hall, do you know this young master?" When she asked this, her eyes were still looking out, and the rolling emotions in her eyes became somewhat blurred under the scorching sun.

"It's the third son of Sima County's mansion. I don't know him well. He just met twice before." Haiyao showed a little bit of shyness at the right time, and she poured tea as if she was trying to cover up something. The action, the effect presented is very intriguing.

Turning her eyes around the figure downstairs and the girl across from her a few times, Wu Jinzhen had a little understanding in her heart. It seemed that, as she expected, this cousin of hers came out to meet her lover today.

Don't know?Ghosts believe that the third son of Sima downstairs hasn't moved his eyes from the window for such a long time.

Raising her hand to straighten her docile sideburns, Wu Jinzhen deliberately leaned against the window, and put on her most proud smile.Compared with Haiyao's bland and somewhat dull appearance, she feels that only her bright face can surprise a man at a glance.

It's a pity that when I looked up again, there was no one in front of the restaurant opposite.

Silently taking a panoramic view of Wu Jinzhen's extremely disappointed expression, Haiyao stuffed the remaining half of the pastry into her mouth, then got up and prepared to go home.

When everyone went downstairs, Chunxi stepped forward to take the packaged pastries from the clerk, but when she turned around, she saw her girl was greeting a lady from an unknown house, so she could only wait obediently on the spot.

Wu Jinzhen couldn't get in the conversation, so she stood not far away without embarrassment, pretending not to care on the surface, and once again felt in her heart that in Beijing, the word "status" represented everything.

Behind her, Lu Liu, the servant girl of Lu Garden, lowered her voice and asked as if purely curious: "Sister Chunxi, the third young master Sima we saw earlier, is he married?"

"Not yet." Chunxi replied casually: "But that is the son of the county government, and he must be cautious and cautious in marriage. The young lady who will marry must have a good family background, character, and appearance."

"Then the two ladies in our house should meet the requirements of the Sima family, right?" Lu Liu's words were full of temptation.

"It's hard to say, the third son of Sima is qualified even if he is Princess Shang." Chunxi's words made both the master and servant in Luyuan frown, but she didn't seem to notice what happened behind her. He followed with emotion: "However, if it is an ordinary family, even if you go to the Sima Mansion to be a concubine, you will be more honorable than the first wife of a small family!"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Wu Jinzhen in front of her frowned, and immediately fell into deep thought.

Not long after, Haiyao bid farewell to the noble lady, and the four of them left Changshou Zhai and walked to the carriage of the Wu residence.

Taking advantage of Wu Jinzhen getting into the car with the help of her maid, Lu Liu, Haiyao turned her head to look at Chunxi.

Chunxi nodded her head lightly, indicating that everything was in order, and then she also got into the carriage.

Inside the car, Haiyao looked at Wu Jinzhen who had been distracted since just now, with a faint smile on her face.

It's not that she never gave the other party a chance to get out, it's just whether the other party wants this opportunity...

We can only wait and see.

 Jiageng, Baozi who has a recommendation ticket, can you vote for me?
