Chapter 4 Lu Zero: Unknown
The carriage swayed and ran out of the main gate of Shenfu, but there was no sign of it after a while. Xichun stood a little while and then he held up the green silk umbrella and returned along the way.
After passing through the Qiuye style cave door, I ran into Cui, and looked down at the girl holding an umbrella, and was coming here.
Xi Chunsha was dead, pretending to bend over and dust the mud on the moon white skirt. He heard the footsteps clear, straightening his waist and raising the umbrella in his hand.
Cui saw someone standing by the roadside with an umbrella, blocking his face. When he got closer, he saw his appearance clearly and hurriedly said, "It turns out to be Miss Xichun, why do you drink wind and rain here? You worked hard in front of the old lady. You have finally had a few days of free time, but you have to take care of your body. The weather is cold or warm, and you are the most likely to get sick. I heard that you have a headache. I should have watched you personally, but now I am busy sending beast charcoal to each room, and I am afraid that you will blame me."
Xichun smiled and said, "Grandma Third, you are so kind. Yesterday you sent Jiuyun to send a pack of Tianma, so I asked the kitchen woman to kill a pigeon alive and simmered it. Now I feel much more refreshed and I am about to look for you to express my gratitude, but by chance I met it."
"It's so destined!" Cui smiled and said, "You can say to me or Jiuyun after eating, and then send it to you."
Xichun shook her head: "Grandma is always worried about it if you don't have to worry about it. This big bag is enough to eat until next year."
The two of them exchanged greetings for a while, and Cui seemed to ask inadvertently: "Miss, when will the old lady come back from Tianning Temple to pray for blessings?"
Xichun was about to wait for the answer, but she saw an old woman running over with panting and shouting: "Grandma is not good, grandma is not good..."
Xi Chunsu scolded her with a face: "The unkind old woman, your grandma is here, what's wrong?"
"It's not that grandma is bad, it's..." The woman's face suddenly turned red. She glanced at Xichun and looked at Cui again, and she stopped talking.
Xichun understood it so he said goodbye to Cui: "I'm afraid I'm not going to report anything urgent, so I'll take the lead."
Cui took her arm, "It's okay, there's nothing shameful about it, I have something to ask you..."
Then he looked at the old lady and said, "Miss Xichun is not an outsider, just say it."
The woman lost her scruples: "The grandmother of the second wife returned half of the cart of animal charcoal, but said that the charcoal was soaked and smoke was too flammable, so she could replace it with dry ones before returning it."
Cui frowned and complained: "This second sister-in-law is hard to serve. I ordered someone to pick up two trucks of high-end animal charcoal to deliver it. Why didn't she let it go? Maybe there was water on the ground in her room and it was unknown whether it was wet. Now we have to rely on us for nothing."
"It's not...." The woman stammered: "I hadn't entered the room yet, the second grandma sent the maid directly to the car and took off the quilt to check."
Cui Shi silent for a while, stared at the old man and scolded, "Look at him, he is not very smart, so he is not careful. You are also an experienced old man. You can speak eloquently in front of me on weekdays, but why is it dumb? You can't say that on this heavy rainy day, even if there is a quilt covering, there are always some corners to take care of. When Riyang comes out and puts it in the yard, it will be dry for ten or half a month, it will naturally be dry."
Xichun regretted not to stay, and the intrigue between the master was far away from reality.
The woman replied in a very aggrieved way: "It was as my grandmother's words, but the second grandmother refused to admit it. She said this. The second master was picky and he paid the salary. If he was noticed that this batch of charcoal was in trouble, he would not be able to take it away. He was also considering the third grandmother, who was the deacon in the family. Therefore, the half-dry and non-wet ones could barely be kept. The ones that were wet into the charcoal core would be allowed to be disposed of."
Cui's face turned red and white, and the silk handkerchief in his hand was about to be broken. He sneered coldly: "I have a red mouth, white teeth and clever tongue, but I think about me everywhere." He looked at Xichun again and said, "I have to go to Qitongyuan to thank her. The girl will come back first, and I will look for you to speak when I have free time."
Xichun hurriedly grabbed her and smiled, "Grandma's fierce look is not a thank you, I'm obviously going to disturb the public. You can suppress your anger for the time being, calm down and then make a long-term plan, and you're going to waste now."
"What do you say?" Cui stopped and asked in confusion.
Xichun replied: "The old lady sent the manager to take her to Tianning Temple. I just sent her away. Then I will meet you, Grandma."
Yu Guangxian became more and more angry when Cui was angry and angry, so he could only comfort her with a warm voice: "You don't know the old lady's temperament. She loves these wives who have just entered the house the most. She thinks of them first. Isn't grandma also like this? It's really not worth being angry about this."
Cui sighed deeply and said to the old lady: "Where is the half cart of charcoal returned by the second grandma? Take me there, but I want to see it as she said."
After Xichun said goodbye to Cui and others, she still walked slowly towards Fushan Hall. She passed by Chen Erye’s study and glanced at Quqiao Water Pavilion. Three or five guards gathered together to laugh and chat.
She heard someone making a fuss: "Commander Chen, a girl comes over the other side of the bridge. If you don't open your eyes quickly, you will see that there will be no store when you pass through this village!"
Another guard called a crisp whistle: "Miss Xichun, what kind of wind blows you? But some people miss you very much."
There were constant sneering.
Xichun fell openly, holding the handle of the umbrella in her hand, stopped and asked with a smile: "Is Brother Chen Rong here?"
He sighed with regret and spoke in unison.
Someone replied: "It's a coincidence that Chen Rong followed the Second Master to the Ministry of Personnel."
Xichun smiled and thanked her for being blessed. She stopped talking and continued to walk forward. Her figure was gentle and slender, gradually disappearing into the depths of the misty rain and fog.
....................................................
Tian Jiang lifted the curtain of the car, and there were few people on the long street, and the rain became denser. The water flowed from the eaves of the shops on both sides. The rustling autumn wind blew on his face with the coolness and wetness. Even the small hand stove that was tightly covered was hard to feel cold.
I quickly passed through the city gate, and the wet official road was squad wide, winding eastward and looking out of the end.
The sky is vast and the earth is vast. Except for the occasional carriage passing by, it is difficult to find a trace of people.
Cuixiang usually finds it difficult to leave the mansion and the world, so it is not enough to look around.
Tian Jiang felt bored and tightened her cloak and somehow she felt cold all over, wanting her to pour a cup of hot tea for her to eat.
Suddenly, the horse was neighing, and the carriage was shaking violently. Tian Jiang's body fell straight forward and almost hit the hard beam of the car.
Fortunately, Cuixiang grabbed her arm tightly, and the carriage had stopped at this time.
"Madam......" Cuixiang shouted in panic, Tian Jiangqing said "shush" and listened quietly to the outside.
