"I heard that Wang Zhiyuan has a little lady who follows him every day, right?" Xie Minghui's voice was a little dull. There is no airtight wall in this world, and Shen Suanzi follows Wang Mi every day without any trace of it. Nor does he shy away from suspicion.
With the Xie family's information channels, there is no way anyone would be unaware of this.
However, I didn't expect that even Xie Minghui, a young lady who doesn't go out often, already knew about it.
"Madam, this.
"I don't know very well, my slave." Yurou's answer was perfunctory.
"Not sure?"
"How can it be!'
"I've heard it all. If you don't know about it, do you think I will believe it?"
"Madam, I was afraid that you would be too worried, so I didn't say anything." Now that she had been exposed, Yurou was happy to go down the slope.
Tell the truth immediately.
"Madam, I have also figured out the details of that woman. She is probably a girl from an aristocratic family. I heard she is from the Shen family in Wuxing. She followed the Wang family boy all the way back to Jiankang from Xiangyang, and we may have met her in Xiangyang."
"snort!
"He is really merciful!" Minghui sneered, her lips pouting even higher.
"You can't say it's affectionate!'
"I heard that Mrs. Shen has always been with the Wang family's young man as a follower, and she has never noticed that the two of them are having an affair."
This Yurou is still a little girl after all, but she still has such innocent thoughts.
A man and a woman were tired of being together every day, and when they were in their prime of life, she said that they had nothing to do with each other, and even the puppies passing by laughed.
"alright!'
"Don't mention him again!"
"I don't want to know!" Xie Minghui turned away and said viciously.
This is a typical manifestation of duplicity. She obviously cares deeply about it and wants to find out about it. If not, why would she bring it up deliberately.
However, when Yurou's words became more and more unpalatable to her, she shook her head and refused to listen any more.
Just when Yurou wanted to persuade her a little more, Linlang Book Store arrived.
This is the shop that Xie Minghui patronizes once a month. It is the largest bookstore in Jiankang City.
But it's not that Xie Minghui is pretending to be elegant. As a woman from an aristocratic family, she is certainly not the kind of vulgar woman who can't read a word. She is not only literate, but also a book addict.
People who don't know her well may not know about this hobby at all, because how can you smell her true heart from her fiery work style.
Xie Minghui is not the kind of person who puts on pretense. On weekdays, many of her clothes, balm and rouge are bought by Yu Roucai, and she does not do it herself.
However, for things like buying books, she had to go to the streets in person.
The knowledge of visiting bookstores is great!
Which book is readable, which book is boring, what are the differences between different versions of the same book? These things all need to be judged by Xie Minghui personally, not to mention leaving it to a little girl like Yurou, or leaving it to her herself. Dad Xie Xuan, she is not at ease either.
Today, Linlang Bookstore is still bustling with activity.
Jiankang City is full of dignitaries and dignitaries, and elegant places like bookstores are naturally overcrowded. Among them, there are some who are truly knowledgeable, and there are even more people who are arty.
The folk customs in Jiankang City are relaxed, and the young men and ladies here are also courteous and tactful, and do things openly and openly.
Young ladies, especially those from aristocratic families, move freely with little control.
Whether you can walk on the street often depends almost entirely on the girl's personal temperament. As long as you want, you can walk through the streets without any hindrance.
In a place with a complex staff like Linlang Book Store, a young lady from an aristocratic family like Xie Minghui can walk around casually, and no one will find it strange.
"Madam, look!'
"Here's a new storybook!'
Although Yurou is not very literate, she is the most clever person.
As soon as he entered the library, he stood in front of Minghui, partly to protect her, and partly to make it easier for her to look here, wander around, and be active in various ways.
Soon she caught a glimpse of a stack of storybooks with dark gray covers placed in the corner of a desk, which was exactly the kind that Xie Minghui liked to read most on weekdays.
Why can Yurou, who is illiterate, discover these scripts at a glance?
Of course, this is because this kind of storybook has certain regulations. For example, the format must be a square book about the size of a palm.
The shape is so unique that you can remember it just by looking at it. What's more, all kinds of popular books in this era are all kinds of handwritten manuscripts, and many are even made of bamboo slips.
The shapes are almost all the same, and as long as you identify one, you can hardly go wrong.
The bookstore was crowded with people. Today was the day when the imperial court was closed for bathing. Therefore, Linlang Bookstore, which was already very lively, was even more crowded.
The two ladies, the master and the servant, had been holding hands since they walked in from the eight-open door. Even though they were so cautious, the two little girls were still swayed left and right by the surging crowd.
Thanks to Yurou's hard work and tight grip on Minghui's hand, the two of them were not separated.
From the time they saw the stack of story books to the time they finally moved to the desk where the books were placed, half a cup of tea passed.
“The White Ape!’
"It turned out to be "The White Ape"!"
Xie Minghui's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the writing on the gray cover.
I have long heard that such a short storybook of legendary stories has recently become popular in the market. The content is really bizarre and quite interesting.
Xie Minghui has always wanted to buy a copy, but she has never found it. Unexpectedly, the fate has arrived today.
She grabbed it, but unexpectedly, another hand suddenly appeared on the gray cover!
It's big, black, and has thick fingers.
That's a man's hand!
"what are you doing!'
"That's what I saw first!'
At the moment when Xie Minghui was about to succeed, a man who was two feet tall suddenly pressed his big hand and snatched away "The Story of the White Monkey"!
Robbed!
Right in front of Xie Minghui’s eyes!
"That makes no sense!'
"give me back!'
Is Xie Minghui the one who will suffer a loss later? However, it is a pity that with her strength, how can she compete with a burly man?
Of course it was taken away by him.
"You, a young lady, want to read this kind of storybook legend. You don't look like a serious person!"
The volume of "The White Monkey" was not large, and there were not many pages. It was held in the hands of the strong man. Not only did he refuse to give it to Minghui, he also laughed and laughed, deliberately irritating her.
"Give it back to me quickly!"
"Give the storybook back to our wife!"
"hurry up!'
"I'm warning you, if you don't obey your orders, you will look good!"
At this time, it was not clear who was the master and who was the servant. The two young ladies stood together, staring, and fiercely asked the strong man for the script.
If in the past, both sides started to quarrel, they would have attracted a lot of people to watch the excitement, but now, these noisy words have not caused much waves in Linlang Bookstore.
There was no way, it was too noisy here, and Xie Minghui and the others could not attract the attention of others with their small voices. The quarrel between the two sides became more and more fierce, and the strong man obviously had no grace at all. Not only did he not have any
He showed little sympathy and pity for her, but on the contrary, he wanted to take the opportunity to tease Xie Minghui.
"The White Ape" was in his hand, and he was still shaking it proudly.
"Little lady, if you want a script, come and get it. As long as you can get it, I'll give it to you!" A certain evil expression appeared on his dark and big face.
Xie Minghui was so angry with him that she almost lost her mind and jumped up. Yurou's reaction was half a beat too slow.
Minghui stretched out her little hands, and when she was about to get those precious words, the strong man smiled slightly and took a few steps back.
Xie Minghui, who jumped up with all her strength, never thought that he had such a dirty trick, so she fell down. If it weren't for the desk blocking her, she might have made a fool of herself on the spot.
Hahaha!
Hahaha!
This time, their movement was loud enough, and they successfully attracted the attention of some onlookers, and bursts of laughter immediately erupted from the crowd.
Of course they were laughing at Xie Minghui. Minghui was a person who took face very seriously. Being laughed at like this in public made her face turn red with shame and she was unwilling to raise her head.
What a shame!
How dare this bitch insult her like this!
"Bold and evil thief, why don't you return the script to this lady!"
What is this sound?
Really...very heroic!
Xie Minghui, who looked ashamed at first, slowly turned her head, only to see a young man wearing a green gown striding towards her.
"Madam, please get up.'
The young man was probably a little shorter than Minghui, his figure was light, his voice was soft and waxy, and the hand he stretched out in front of him was not ordinary small either.
Xie Minghui was helped up by him with doubts, but the strong man became even more arrogant when he saw someone coming forward.
"Where did you come from, you little brat, you're going to die!"
More and more people are watching the show, and the strong man also feels that he must improve his momentum. How can he be at a disadvantage in front of the two young ladies?
As he spoke, he punched out his fist as big as a sandbag.
"Hey!
"You are asking for death!'
"Don't blame me for being rude!'
Such threats were heard in the book shop, but no one knew who was threatening whom.
People only saw that the young man, who was not tall and thin, caught the strong man's wrist in the air. Then, she made a backhand, and the strong man was pushed away by his palm.
Deng Deng Deng Deng
The strong man never thought that this seemingly frail young man actually had some skills in him. He staggered and fell backwards after a few steps.
"fall down!
"He actually fell down!'
A burst of laughter broke out from the crowd of onlookers again. It was just like watching the fun. I didn’t know which side they were on. No matter which side was unlucky, they all cheered.
"Little lady, run quickly!'
The "White Ape" that Xie Minghui had been thinking about day and night was picked up by Xiao Langjun and thrown in front of her. With Yurou's support, they ran out of Linlang Bookstore in the chaos.
"Xiao Langjun, please stay!'
"Where do you live? Why don't I give you a ride.'
Yurou was about to help Xie Minghui board the car, but she called out to the young man in green clothes. The young man's round face had a slightly stunned expression, "You said you want to send me off?"
"This is not good.'
"How can you and I ride in the same car if men and women don't have sex?
"My wife has a distinguished status. If someone looks at her like this, she will inevitably gossip.'
This young man is also very strange. Although he keeps saying that there are differences between men and women, he refuses to leave obediently.
Xie Minghui looked at her figure, which was slightly smaller than her own, and smiled: "Are you still saying that you are a man?'
"You think I can't see it?"
"You are obviously a woman.'
The young man with a handsome face suddenly stiffened when he heard this.
"Did you see it?"
Minghui nodded proudly: "Of course."
"When did you find out?"
After getting into the car with Minghui, the first thing the fake husband said was this.
Minghui urged the coachman to drive quickly, and then said slowly: "Of course I saw it from the beginning.
"Look at you," she looked provocatively at the fake husband up and down: "You are beautiful, your skin is fair and delicate, you are shorter than me, and your hands are small. If you look closely, you can tell that you are
Women disguise themselves as men.'
"Okay, it turns out you're not stupid after all.
Now that he was seen out, the young man didn't want to pretend anymore, he immediately put his feet up and changed into a rogue look.
"who are you?'
Faintly, Xie Minghui had a hunch that this strange man disguised as a woman knew her.
"you guess.'
Haha, if you want to know, you have to rely on yourself,
Judging from her appearance, she must be very used to men dressing up as women, and looking at the moves she taught the strong man, she was from a martial arts background. She is very good at martial arts, but she is also very beautiful, and it seems that she has not lived a hard life.
"Can't guess.'
Xie Minghui shook her head and glanced at Yurou next to her. Yurou was also confused.
Why!
What a waste of emotion, she had to say it herself.
"I am Shen Suanzi.'
"How about it?'
"Have you ever heard of this name?'
Heavy garlic?
Who is that?
Xie Minghui's round eyes rolled up, unable to remember anything at all.
"Ms. Shen?'
"You are the one from Wang Shilang's family...
"It's not simple, there are people who know me.'
"good!"
"The woman who lives in Langya Prince's Mansion is me."
Xie Minghui finally understood the relationship between them, but to Yurou's expectation, this time, Xie Minghui was not angry, but smiled softly.
"Are you the woman who came back with him from Xiangyang?'
Garlic nodded: "Exactly.
"Is Xiangyang fun?'
"I've never been there!'
This woman is indeed not normal!
Shen Suanzi was also stunned, then smiled and said: "It's fun.'
"Ms. Xie, if you have the opportunity, you can go there and take a look. Xiangyang City is the place where ships from the south and horses from the north change routes. You can see many tall and handsome horses there, which are very cool!
"I'm so envious that you can go to so many places.'
"Actually, it's not all fun. To tell you the truth, I have been on the battlefield with the army. The dangers and cruelties on the battlefield cannot be explained to outsiders.'
"how?'
"You actually want to show off to me?" Xie Minghui saw Shen Suanzi's intention at a glance and immediately exposed her
"Did I say anything wrong?
"The wife of the Xie family in Chen County has a noble status, and there are at least a few people and hundreds of people walking around, sitting and sleeping, and there is never a time when she is not cheered by and supported by the crowd.
"How can you go to the battlefield like this!"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking down on you, but I think your family won't condone you doing such a dangerous thing."
