Red makeup against the world

Chapter 26 Doomsday
Wang Maocai and his party got off the boat, paid the rent with scattered silver, and lived in the only inn.

The inn was dilapidated, the two doors wobbled as if they were about to fall down at any moment, and the wash water smelled of oil.The two concubines are alright, Wang Miaoyan grew up in such a delicate and precious way, when did he experience such hardship.At this moment, she was losing her temper with Dong Xue: "What kind of tea is this! It smells strange."

Dong Xue had a bitter face, and she also tried her best.The teacups and tea leaves were brought from home, but because I left in a hurry, I didn't bring a teapot for making tea.

Who knew that the old dirt on the teapots here could not be cleaned after several times of washing, and the tea that was brewed always had a stale musty smell, so I could only bow my head and be scolded.Wang Miaoyan glanced at the tea with disgust, and said: "Forget it, I won't make tea, you can pour me a glass of water."

When the winter snow receded, Wang Miaoyan became even more irritable.

Originally, my grandfather said that my father would go to Beijing to give a new year gift to the Prince of Chu's mansion, so that I could also go to the capital to increase my knowledge.But since the departure, things have been weird.First, he brought his two younger brothers temporarily, then he didn't use his own boat, and now he was delayed at this ferry for no reason, and even the boat boss and the cook on board disappeared.

She was thoughtful, and it was almost the New Year's Eve, but her group couldn't move forward or retreat here, and Father frowned all day long.Although I don't know exactly what happened, but I think it must not be a good thing.

In this place, even if you spend money, you can't buy any good food, and you can't pay attention to many rules.At noon, the store prepared some stewed beef and served it up.Wang Maocai and his party sat at two tables in the lobby of the inn, one for the master and one for the servants, while Wang Miaoyan and the maid Dongxue were dining in the guest room.

Sitting in front of the table, Wang Miaoyan looked at the cold plate of greasy beef and two bowls of brown rice in front of her. The aggrievedness of the past few days finally turned into anger. The food on the table was swept to the ground.Feeling aggrieved in my heart, "How can I eat this kind of pig food?" He covered his face and began to cry.

Dong Xue hurried forward, took out a handkerchief to wipe her face, and said, "Miss, just be patient, we will leave here in a few days." Then he checked her hands to see if she was injured.

At this time, a man's voice sounded outside the door, "Beef can be called pig food, Miss Wang is really a noble person." The door opened from the outside with a creak, and a young man with a handsome face and a fierce expression walked in.

Dongxue was startled, and quickly hugged Wang Miaoyan sideways to cover her face, and Wang Miaoyan was so frightened that she stopped crying.

"You are a loyal girl." The young man praised Dong Xue.

Dong Xue asked tremblingly, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

The young man said: "I'll invite you downstairs, Mr. Wang is waiting for you below."

Dong Xue said: "Why, why should we go downstairs?"

The young man looked at the pair of master and servant playfully, without saying a word.Wang Miaoyan, who was in Dongxue's arms, calmed down slowly, patted Dongxue's arm to signal her to let go, got up from the seat, and calmly saluted the young man: "Let me clean up, can you wait outside the door?"

The young man nodded, exited the door, and closed the door behind him.Dongxue whispered anxiously: "Miss, this person doesn't look like a good idea, shall we follow his arrangement?"

Wang Miaoyan washed his face with water, and said: "This is our doom, and it is also the reason why we have spent so many days here. If you don't go downstairs, you won't understand the reason." She said with a wry smile, "Actually, you think we still have Any chance of rejection?"

Wang Miaoyan asked Dongxue to bring the dowry box, cleaned up her crying makeup, and put on a thin layer of powder to cover up her haggard face.

She combed a double-ring hanging bun, and picked a carved gold hairpin and inserted it beside the bun.Dong Xue brought a big red cloud satin squirrel fur trimmed cloak and put it on her, and put a gray sable fur warmer on her hands.Wang Miaoyan took a deep breath, and thought: In this case, it is better to face it with the best state.

Wang Miaoyan walked out of the room slowly holding Dongxue's hand, and the eyes of the young man leaning against the door lit up.This young lady of the Wang family is a beauty, after a little tidying up, she disappeared from her previous embarrassment, she lowered her head and raised her brows, her manner was elegant, and she exuded a gentle and quiet temperament.

Walking downstairs, Wang Miaoyan saw several gray-clothed men scattered around the lobby of the inn. Before the food on the table had time to move their chopsticks, the maidservant huddled in a corner.Wang Maocai's face turned pale, and the two bastards were pale and trembling.Wang Miaoyan walked over, sat down next to Wang Maocai, and gently held his hand.

Wang Maocai said hoarsely: "Now that everyone is here, you can talk."

The young man said: "I, Qin Yangrong, came here. Master Wang should know why I am here. In Jiangnan Road, there is no one who can escape unscathed after playing tricks on the Qian family."

Wang Maocai hurriedly distinguished: "The Wang family didn't intend to play tricks on the Qian family."

Qin Yangrong smiled lightly, looking more and more handsome, and said: "It doesn't matter whether it is interesting or not, the result is what matters. You all have to be grateful to the Xu family. If Mrs. Xu didn't come forward to speak out, your two boats would never have reached Fenglin ferry."

"The Xu family?" Wang Maocai exclaimed in surprise.To Xu's family, Wang Zhihua can be said to have thrown a stone into a well, and he was merciless.

Unexpectedly, the old lady of the Xu family was willing to intercede. It was so unexpected that Wang Maocai felt guilty.Wang Miaoyan's heart was shocked. She was not ignorant of what happened to the Xu family before.Although Xu Wan is really a good sister in her boudoir, she is unwilling to intervene in the family battles.

Originally thought that if Xu Wan was really down and out, he could still reach out to help her, but he didn't expect that the person being pulled was himself.I saw Xu Wanzhen again after this, but I bowed her head.

"Yes, it's the Xu family you've been dealing with." Qin Yangrong said, "However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot escape. Otherwise, what else will my Qian family use to gain a foothold in the Jianghu?"

"what do you want?"

Qin Yangrong stretched out two fingers and shook them.Wang Maocai said: "Twenty thousand taels of silver?" Qin Yangrong shook his head.

"20 taels?" Wang Maocai said in pain.Qin Yangrong still shook his head.

"That is?"
