11. Chapter 11
Although the food was beautiful, I couldn't eat it. After eating the food for a while, Yuzhu just fell silently on the bed, but when she savored it carefully, there was nothing wrong with the weakness and fatigue when the blood was pouring towards her stomach after the meal.
With this fatigue, she rarely slept soundly during the day. When she woke up again, it was already the time to hold the lights. When Yuzhu was awakened softly by Jue'er, she actually smiled bitterly. Why was she so heartbroken? She actually slept so sweetly in the dragon and tiger den. She turned to Jue'er and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"
Jue'er said, "It's only an hour. The girl has been exhausted these days. Sleeping like this is more effective than eating supplements. However, when the eldest young master got the news, he knew that you were in the stewardship, he asked General Wen to ask for a meeting with the second young master Yao. Now the second young master nodded and let him go. The eldest young master's sedan chair was waiting outside the stewardship. He also asked the girl to get up and change clothes, and leave here earlier."
When Yuzhu heard this, she felt a little happy and quickly got up. At this time, Jinshu sent a small box of jade materials, saying that it was the small item given to the sixth girl by the second young master, saying that it was the best thing to help carve it. After Yuzhu was polite, she did not pretentiously and put it away. Then she only added a cloak outside and got up. She didn't bother changing clothes. She simply combed her hair, put on a hood, and walked out the door with Jue'er.
According to etiquette, if the female relatives leave, they will say goodbye to the hostess in the mansion first. However, the Second Young Master Yao did not bring the female relatives in the northwest this time, Yuzhu saved a procedure. Therefore, he walked quietly and came to the side door of the tent. Sure enough, he saw a soft sedan chair parked by the door, and Xiao Shan also stood beside the sedan chair with a burnt face. Until he saw Yuzhu walking out of the side door, his face slowly, and he walked forward in a low voice, "Yuzhu, can you be safe?" As he said that, he stretched out his hands and palms, just wanting to help her into the sedan chair himself.
Yuzhu took two steps, barely avoiding her brother's big hand, and was farther away from Xiaoshan, then smiled and said, "Everything is fine, but I was infected with the cold for a while, and I was a little confused. Fortunately, the second young master Yao gave me a helping hand and was properly treated in the hall. Now it is mostly cured. Please don't worry about it." As he said that, he turned around and put the curtain down.
How could Xiaoshan not know that Yuzhu was deliberately avoiding him? He has been anxious to plead with General Wen these days. Therefore, he has been temporarily living in a house that is very close to the tent, and he does not know that Yuzhu has arrived in Banpingshan.
It was not until Wen Ji was excited to visit the beauty who returned from seeking medical treatment the next day, but he was unable to do so, so he came to ask him for his good classmate. He suddenly realized what his grandmother had thoughts in his heart, and he even knew that Yuzhu had arrived in Banpingshan.
But Yuzhu was not in the inn, so where did the person go? In desperation, he had to ask General Wen to ask Dr. Tao. Naturally, he learned that Yuzhu fainted in the clinic and was taken back to the inn by Mr. Yao.
But as a result, the day had passed. When Xiao Shan thought that Yuzhu had been taken away by the Second Young Master Yao for a day and a night, his face was ashen. However, for some reason, General Wen, who was beside him, also turned a little green.
Finally, General Wen came forward and found out Yuzhu's whereabouts and was able to take Yuzhu out of the mansion smoothly.
Is Yuzhu avoiding him like this now because she suffered unspeakable disbelief in the inn and was ashamed to meet others?
Xiao Shan felt angry, but he couldn't ask Yuzhu directly, so he turned over and returned to the inn with the soft sedan chair silently.
But when I arrived at the inn, I saw Yuzhu returning to the room with Jue'er's help. The first thing I did in Xiaoshan was to open a single room and interrogate Liu Ma who was escorting Yuzhu.
Mother Liu looked at the eldest young master's gloomy face and relied on her own as the old man around her ancestors, and said calmly: "The old lady also asked her to go out for a walk in order to let the sixth girl dissipate her mood. In addition, the young master is in Banping Mountain, so there is a way to take care of her when she comes here to play?"
Xiao Shan was too lazy to argue with the old lady about his grandmother's scheming, and asked directly: "I'll just ask you, what was the situation when Major General Yao Er Yuzhu brought back to the mansion?"
Although Liu Ma was also taken back to the steward at that time, because she was scolded by the guards at that time, and because she was old and not neat enough, she was disliked by Jinshu, who was in charge of the affairs of the stewards, she said that the old woman's face was full of wrinkles, and her whole body was rustic, which would defile human eyes and carefully hit the Second Young Master. So after entering the stewards, Liu Ma was not able to serve the sixth girl in close proximity, but was taken to the doorman to wait.
As for what the situation was in the restaurant, how could she know? But Liu Ma thought about it again. Even if the eldest young master was obsessed with Miss Six, he should be more awake now. So he said boldly: "Master, if you ask me this, I can't answer the mother-in-law. It's just the man and the woman who closed the privacy of the door. I'm afraid only the second young master and Miss Six know the details inside. How do I, an outsider, know?"
How could Xiao Shan not hear the reflection in Liu Ma's words? He was so angry that he had been so annoyed for a day that he found a mouthful of venting. He only raised his feet and kicked Liu Ma who was still talking again. He only staggered his heels and sat on the ground with a whimper.
In the eyes of the servants, Xiaoshan has always been taciturn and polite. If the servants do something wrong, they just criticize them. They have never had any such thing as beating and scolding the servants.
But in this case, he opened the ring and put his feet away, pointed at Liu Ma's nose and whispered: "You have been with the old lady for so long, and you have regarded yourself as the ancestor of the Xiao family. Can't you forget the rules? How do you distinguish between insiders and outsiders in your mouth? Liu Aunt fainted from illness. Your current people's inseparable efforts have protected her, but instead she was talking about gossip and tarnishing the master's innocence! Only you, who are by your grandmother, are just making trouble, making the Xiao Mansion uneasy!"
After saying that, he shouted loudly to the strong servant who was guarding the house to come in, blocking Liu's mouth with only a rag. After binding him, he ordered him to hand it over to someone's teeth, and he did not accept any penny. He also ordered the car and ship to sell the woman far away overnight to the south, and he would not come back.
After cooking Liu Ma, Xiao Shan took a deep breath and ordered someone to call Jue'er into the house.
Jue'er had just served Miss Liugu to wash up and was carrying the basin when she was called into Xiaoshan's room.
Jue'er has always been a little afraid of this young master, so she quickly put down the basin and bowed respectfully.
Xiao Shan pine collared and said coldly: "Liu Ma said, you have been serving the Sixth Girl in the yard. I ask you, what's the matter with Mr. Yao, please invite the Sixth Girl into the yard?"
Jue'er said honestly: "The second young master loved the jade box given to Doctor Tao by Miss Six. After hearing that it was carved by Miss Six himself, he asked the six girls who were sick to go to the restaurant to raise them, and then learn about the jade carving skills."
If someone with a discerning eye hears this, it will not be very smooth, but the little maid speaks it seriously and resounds.
Xiao Shan's face gradually slowed down, and he said with some suspicion: "Trial jade carving skills?"
Jue'er nodded desperately, saying somewhat complacently for her own girl: "Before leaving, the second young master ordered the maid to use a box of jade materials for the Sixth Girl, saying that she wanted the Sixth Girl to carve a set of jade hairpins for him, and said that she was a souvenir gift for her mother when she went back."
This situation was a bit credible. Xiao Shan thought about Yuzhu's situation again. When he was forced to marry the Wang family, Yuzhu's eyes were filled with tears, and she was forced to get into the sedan chair. Her red circles made people's hearts break.
But when she left the tent and got into a sedan, she looked as usual, without any strangeness. I think that Yao was twenty-eight years old, and she was no longer young when she was close to thirty years old. How could she look so fat? If she was really forced by such a person, how could Yuzhu be so calm?
So when I thought about it, the depression in my heart actually dissipated a lot. I only told Jue'er to take good care of the Sixth Girl. If there is such a situation in the future, it is best to think of your own way to contact him first.
Xiao Shan thought about the matter of his own at the moment, and there was still a person who wanted to keep his mouth shut, that was his powerful classmate, General Wen.
General Wen, who had been begging but could not meet him before, visited him smoothly this time.
General Wen had just returned from the tent, but his face was still not smooth. After seeing Xiao Shan, he asked himself, "My sister... is it better?"
Xiao Shan did not want General Wen to misunderstand, and he leaked his words for a moment, which ruined the reputation of Yuzhu, so he quickly told General Wen about the "splitting jade skills".
General Wen was a little straightforward when he heard this, but he thought about the scene of the second young master Yao traveling west. This noble man was very particular about food and clothing, daily life, and he also liked tea ceremony, poetry and painting. However, after walking so far, he didn't bring a concubine. Even when he specially arranged for the beautiful girl to accompany him to drink, he would frown and avoid it as if he saw a dirty rat. From this, it can be seen that second young master Yao was not very happy about women.
Although the sixth girl from the Xiao family is as beautiful as a fairy, the second young master from Beijing who is ignorant of the charm may have just valued the sixth girl's skills.
As such, General Wen has relaxed his face and is no longer ashamed and angry. He has not drunk his eyes and seen his mouth, but is snatched the soup of love by someone.
For a time, my former classmates regained some old friendships.
In addition to worrying about Yuzhu's reputation, Xiao Shan was also worried about the disaster of Xiao's mansion. So he inquired about General Wen indirectly.
Unexpectedly, General Wen did not hesitate at all, and he was so happy: "Although this matter is of great importance, your Xiao family has been in charge of the emperor for many years, how can you erase it all just because of the lame legs of the jade carving? Although the second young master Yao was removed from his official position, the emperor appointed the special envoy to investigate the matter, and the focus was on investigating the matter in detail. Although he was busy for a while, he was not allowed to meet Brother Xiao, so I have a lot of good words for the Xiao family. According to the second young master, he has already taken down the jade carving manager, Gu Wanren, the master of your workshop, has a great relationship with him. I heard that many important criminals have been captured. But in general, it should not cause any trouble to the Xiao family..."
In fact, the hidden secret of this internal force is actually not as great as General Wen's contribution. But now he is just following the flow and making favors for his classmates.
The worries that had been worrying for many days were so easy to resolve. Xiao Shan was indeed crying for Wen Jicai. He politely invited General Wen to come to Xiao's house to drink in his spare time, and the Xiao family would definitely have a feast for entertaining him.
