Chapter 1 The Exiled Second Lady
It just rained.
The loess road is muddy.
A black sedan drove by slowly.
The brand new tires were instantly infected by yellow mud, and countless mud ideas were thrown away by the body, and two deep wheels were left behind.
"Ma Qian, the mountain in front is Mingshan. It has not been developed yet, and the mountain road is not easy to walk on. You always have to take care of it!" The driver carefully looked at the rearview mirror.
The woman in the mirror was closing her eyes to rest, wearing a crimson purple cheongsam, and a white pearl necklace around her neck. She was a little serious when she didn't speak, and she exuded the elegance of a city man.
Her name is Qian Xiu, she is the nanny of the Shen family and the most capable person around the eldest wife of the Shen family.
This time, the head of the Shen family specially assigned her to Mingshan to pick up the second lady Chen Muxi back to Beijing, which shows how high her status in the Shen family is.
Qian Xiu did not open his eyes because of his words, but only made a "yes" sound from his nose.
The driver said with a slight interest: "Mom Qian, why does Miss Second Live here?"
But Qian Xiu just snorted coldly, "You can inquire about the Shen family?"
The plain voice was majestic, and the driver was shocked and dared not speak any more.
***
It was early spring, and the mountain road was covered with moss, especially after the rain, it was pure green, exuding a fragrance of green grass, but Qian Xiu didn't have time to appreciate it at this time.
This mountain road is bumpy and the car is bumpy like a boat.
She endured the motion sickness and felt a little irritated.
Finally, the car stopped before he was almost vomiting.
The driver turned off the fire and said carefully and respectfully: "Mom Qian, the car can't get in."
Qian Xiu suppressed the nausea rolling in his chest and opened his eyes.
In front is a high mountain with only a small narrow road leading to the mountain.
She pursed her lips and felt relieved. She finally didn't have to ride this broken car!
But soon this secret joy turned into anger, and the dirt road outside the car was soft and muddy.
As soon as I got off the car, the leather soles were stained with heavy yellow mud.
Her face seemed calm, but her heart was bleeding.
This pair of shoes was given to her by the eldest wife. It was very expensive and she was reluctant to wear them on weekdays.
They are all this damn "Shengmen Star", otherwise she wouldn't have run to such a place where birds don't poop.
As one of the few old people in the Shen family, she was both afraid and disgusted with Chen Muxi.
Because Chen Muxi has always been a taboo for the Shen family, she will not cry or laugh when she is born, and she is called a "monster" by the Shen family.
When she was six years old, her parents unfortunately died in a car accident. Some fortune tellers said that she was destined to be evil, and her father and mother were the whole family. Therefore, the head of the family sent her out of Beijing to practice martial arts on the grounds that she was surprised that her bones were attracted by experts.
If it weren't for the college entrance examination this time, she would have to go back to Beijing to take the exam. The Shen family would have long forgotten that there was such a second lady who was exiled to the family.
***
Chen Muxi lives in a remote and backward village, located halfway up the mountain. The rugged mountain road is carefully paved with stone slabs, which is not difficult to walk on, but the altitude is a bit high.
Qian Xiu was almost supported by the driver, and the noble image he had maintained was ruined.
After a long time of rest, I said a complete sentence: "Go ahead to find out Xukongzi's residence!"
The village is not large in size, and there are only a dozen families around, and you can see it at a glance.
A stone tablet with one person high was erected at the entrance of the village, with three traditional Chinese characters "Mingshan Village".
Strong and powerful, exuding a solemn sense of time, simple and solemn.
Every household in the village raises poultry. Looking along the way, various feathers mixed with feces can be seen everywhere.
Qian Xiu finally suppressed his nausea and rolled up again. He bent down and retching for a long time, and his whole body was trembling and his image disappeared.
The driver was a little worried, "Ma Qian, are you okay?"
But she glanced at him, "Go quickly - just say that the Shen family in the capital is coming to pick up Chen Muxi!"
The driver looked calm and shut up embarrassedly, avoiding the animal feces and walking towards the entrance of the village.
"Who are you looking for?"
A crisp sound came from behind the stone tablet.
The driver looked at him and saw a little girl digging wild vegetables squatting behind the stone tablet. A yellowish dog was lying lazily beside her and napping.
The little girl stood up and raised a simple smile at him.
She was wearing a white-washed school uniform with the words Mingshan Town Middle School written on it.
The driver immediately stepped forward to inquire about Xukongzi's residence, but the little girl tilted her head, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, "We don't have this person!"
"No! This is the address, then do you know the second lady of the Shen family? We are from the Shen family in Beijing..."
The driver was anxious. If he took the wrong path and delayed the Shen family's itinerary, his position as manager in Sichuan City would definitely be beaten.
The little girl became even more confused, "We don't have anyone named Chen here."
"How could it be? Think about it again..."
At this time, Qian Xiu didn't care about his disgust and walked quickly, "Are you sure there is no surname Chen here?"
Her tone was very stormy, which scared the little girl and her body shrank.
At this time, the dozing dog suddenly stood up and stood in front of the little girl and bared at her.
Qian Xiu's face turned pale and his body took a step back in fear.
The little girl recovered from her senses, bent down and patted the Tugo's head, and replied, "There is no one named Chen here."
The local dog put away the warning, shook his tail twice, and then fell back to his original position.
"Ma Qian, is the address wrong?" the driver asked hesitantly, but was greeted with a cold look.
Qian Xiu took out a yellowed photo from her bag, "Have you seen her?"
The photo shows a little girl who is five or six years old, with a braid on her head and a floral dress on her body. She should have been innocent, but there was no expression on her face and looked a little creepy.
The little girl looked at it and looked at the village hesitantly, "She looks very similar to Sister Ming Xi from the old Taoist priest's family."
Qian Xiu and the driver looked at each other, and said in a hurry: "Where is the old Taoist priest's home?"
"The fruit tree in the innermost part is next to it! But they..."
The little girl looked at the backs of the two of them leaving hurriedly, curled her lips and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
***
There are three homes next to the fruit tree. Qian Xiu asked the driver to knock on one of the clean doors.
Soon, a roar of the Hedong lion came from the yard, "What are you knocking? I'm urging the soul--"
Immediately afterwards, the gate of the courtyard was opened with force, and a beautiful woman with excellent temperament walked out.
A woman's hair was casually placed behind her head by a chopstick. Her skin was white, tender and delicate, and she attracted everyone's attention without applying makeup.
She was wearing the most ordinary blue cotton dress, with a little ink on her cuffs, and her indifferent eyebrows showed impatience, but it did not affect her external beauty and outstanding temperament at all.
The driver was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
The woman pushed her back and said in a bad tone: "Who are you? Why are you knocking on my door?"
Rude movements and bad temper.
"I...I..."
"We are the Shen family in Beijing. Today we will pick up Chen Muxi back to Beijing!" Qian Xiu glared at the driver, frowned, and his tone was full of superiority.
No matter how beautiful she is, she is just a rural woman and cannot enter the elegant hall!
Qian Xiu's eyes slowly rose with contempt.
The woman was stunned for a moment, with a suspicious look in her eyes, and she looked her up and down.
Seeing that she seemed to know the Shen family, Qian Xiu raised her chin slightly and blurted out her words like an order: "My surname is Qian, and my name is Chen Muxi..."
The woman rolled her eyes directly and interrupted without hesitation: "No this person--"
As soon as he stepped back, his arms closed, the gate of the courtyard was hit hard.
"you--"
Qian Xiu's face was ashen and angry.
Since she entered the Shen family, when did she meet such a rude and rude village woman? She was so choked that she almost couldn't breathe.
The driver was very insightful and advised: "Mom Qian, don't be angry, this place is full of rural villagers, there is no teaching..."
The "support" behind him was shocked by the man walking out of the yard opposite him.
The man is wearing white training uniforms, with elegant appearance and extraordinary temperament.
Qian Xiu looked back and was stunned for a moment, not because of his appearance, but because of the breath scattered on his body. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, it still made people feel timid.
She has been in the Shen family for so many years and has seen many big names. She has seen people with such momentum in power in a certain powerful family broadcasting on TV. Even the head of the Shen family, Mr. Shen, is not as good as that of the Shen family.
The man smiled and said, "Are you two here to find Xukongzi?"
Qian Xiu calmed down and took a step forward half a step forward in a regular manner, "We are the Shen family in Beijing, and come here to pick up the second lady Chen Muxi back to Beijing."
The man chuckled: "You guys came by chance, and he took his apprentice down the mountain."
Qian Xiu frowned, "Do you know where they went?"
The man sneered.
