V3.Chapter 42 (1/2)
Zhu Yi stood at the threshold, saw Wei Changying and duanmuxinmiao turn out of the screen together, sit down in the hall, and slightly nod their heads. Then he said to the outside: ”young lady and eight young lady have arrived, let's go in!”
A moment later, Zhu Xian led the three men carefully across the threshold and entered.
Looking at Wei Changying and duanmuxinmiao at the top, they were all surprised. Duanmuxinmiao was worried about her master and had already called out, ”how can I bring a child?”
The two of them lived on top of each other and looked down very clearly: Although the man who followed Zhu Xian made every effort to be respectful, it was obviously the first time to step into such a place as mingpeitang, and could not help but look around secretly with curiosity - this was a woman in her twenties.
Cao family castle with 3000 people, but it's not enough to get a woman's family to talk back. The key is that the woman is also surrounded by a little girl who looks like four or five years old This Do you have the appearance of coming to explain your reply seriously!
Although Wei Changying didn't ask questions, his face didn't look good either
Fortunately, he also came in with Zhu Xian and helped Wei Changying identify Bo Shenlun, the true and false leader of Xiliang, who was said by Cao family castle people in time to explain: ”young lady, eight young lady, this wooden lady is the current leader of Cao family castle. This little girl is her only flesh and bone Cao ya. In order to show sincerity, Cao's Castle leader and Shao's leader came to talk back! ”
”Castle master of caojiapu?!” Wei Changying and duanmusinmiao exclaimed in unison, and their suspicious eyes fell on the woman in an instant -
How do you think, the woman is only in her twenties, and the outline is pretty and pretty. However, a closer look shows that her skin is rough and her eyes are slightly wrinkled. Although it is said that Xiliang is bitter and cold, the women here, even if they are as well maintained as Mrs. Huo, are not as good as the ladies in the imperial capital because of the soil and water. But this woman is too old. In addition, Cao family castle is the origin of the construction of the refugees. No one can doubt that she is so old because of overwork.
The face is old and the dress is simple and tight. The woman was dressed in a thick indigo cloth dress, with a neat bun on her head, and two silver hairpins of dim color were inserted obliquely. Behind the ears, there are a pair of jade beads and pendants. The jade color is very turbid. It can be seen roughly as a stone Even the rough servant girl who served in the yard of Wei Changying may not be able to see it.
Look at the little girl who is following her. She is almost in a light blue dress. She has a red gold wreath on her chest. The workmanship looks good. This one alone is worth more than her mother's whole body hairpin. I think it's because of being spoiled. The woman in blue would rather wear something worse than hurt her daughter.
However, this wreath looks extraordinary. It's not like ordinary rich people can get it Can't Cao family castle avoid the Shen family's eyes in private and do nothing for the sake of his own children?
Wei Changying looks at the little girl. Her eyebrows are very similar to her mother's. because she is young and has not been attacked by the wind and soil, her face is still white and lovely. Although her mother could not restrain her mind attracted by all kinds of curios and ornaments around her, she still knew that she should be respectful. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look around. This little girl didn't have many scruples.
She opened a pair of big black and white eyes, bit a finger of her own, and looked up curiously at a strand of coral beads beside Wei Changying's sideburns. As Wei Changying, she didn't need to pay much attention to Cao family castle, so she didn't dress up specially. But no more special dress, ladies, hairpin ring at least a few.
This Luan bird holds beads and shakes them. Its shape is made of red gold wire. It has Obsidian as its eye and emerald feather as its feather. What it holds is a string of bright coral beads. It's not surprising that Cuiyu and red coral are so eye-catching that they attract children's attention.
But
With the gap between Cao family castle and Wei Changying, even if you must bring a child to the hall, you should always tell me some rules, right?
Wei Changying's mind turned, and he did not make a sound after exclamation.
But the woman in blue, who was very respectful, made another salute and introduced herself: ”the little woman, Mu Chunmian, is the castle master of caojia castle. I heard that the little lady and miss duanmuba had something to ask about our castle. She had come before.”
Her manner was respectful rather than flattering, but she meant to be neither humble nor overbearing.
Duanmuxinmiao is anxious to open his mouth, but Wei Changying secretly steps on the skirt - Wei Changying lightly says: ”the castle leader of Cao family castle, what's his surname? Or a woman? The next Castle leader is also a woman. Is your castle in the charge of a woman? It's strange. I haven't heard of it. ”
Shen Lun was about to answer, but mu Chunmian took a look and immediately took up the tea bowl. This makes Wei Changying frown slightly and doubt Shen Lun.
”Back to the young lady.” Although no one introduced their identities to Mu Chunmian, Wei Changying was dressed as a woman, duanmuxinmiao was not married, but it was not hard to tell. Mu Chunmian could not admit her mistake. After stopping Shen Lun, she smiled and said, ”the husband's family of the little woman is Cao. Because of the early death of her husband, the little woman had to come out and support her family. ”Wei Changying can't believe this. It's common for widows to be forced to support their families independently, but it depends on their family business. Cao family castle is in the eyes of Shen family. It's not worth mentioning after holding its key. But it's also a castle of three thousand people! Even if most of them are women and children, there will always be nearly a thousand men. How could a woman be the Lord of the castle?
Wei Changying won't ignore what Shen Lun said just now, ”this little girl is Cao ya, the only one of her own flesh and blood”. So it's not likely that Mu Chunmian will control Cao family castle with her young son. Wei Changying's heart turns and suddenly thinks of the meaning of this sentence: Mu Chunmian only has Cao ya, but does her husband only have Cao ya?
Is it because the castle of Cao's family also fights inside, and Mu Chunmian fails in the fight. He is disguised as a castle master and sent to make perfunctory use of himself with his daughter Cao ya? Or is it that Mu Chunmian's skill is extraordinary. As a girl, after her husband's death and as Cao's daughter-in-law, she firmly controls Cao's castle and lets her young daughter become the leader of the castle?
She pondered, but duanmuxinmiao couldn't help it. She raised her voice and asked, ”no matter who you are, tell me clearly about my uncle's life and death!”
Seeing that duanmuxinmiao has come to the point, Wei Changying doesn't pursue Mu Chunmian's position in caojiapu any more. He said lightly: ”yes, who is the leader of your caojiapu? We don't care about it very much. Now you are here to fix things for this season. Tell me the truth! ”
Mu Chunmian said happily: ”the people who went to caojiapu in your family have said this before. Although the little woman was young, when the two people mentioned entered caojiapu, the little woman was not born yet. However, in order to reply, she also asked the old people in the castle in detail before coming.”
