Wei Shu

Chapter 246 Borrowing Books
When Wei Shu first entered the small study room, Wei Shu was a blockbuster. Mrs. Wu clearly admired her very much. He had a lot of compliments, but he compared all the girls in the mansion.

This situation fell into the eyes of all the girls, each of them had their own thoughts secretly, many people put away their previous contempt, and even a few young ladies showed some respect for Wei Shu.

Although proficient in martial arts is also very powerful, it is still low-level in the end, and it is basically unworthy. Even if you are intimidated by it for a while, the little ladies really look down on Wei Shu from the bottom of their hearts. When they look at her, they always look at her. So a little high above.

A vulgar martial artist with an empty stomach, even if he can fight, he is still a low-class person.

But reading is different.

The word "vulgarity" can no longer be used on Wei Shu because she is proficient in poetry and prose, and the word "vulgarity" can no longer be used on Wei Shu. It can be called a "lady".

In the city of Bianjing, only such ladies and gentlemen can be appreciated by noble girls and have the qualification to talk to them.

Today's Wei Shu obviously possesses such qualifications, and she is also capable of both civil and military skills, so the ladies don't dare to underestimate her anymore.

Wei Shu originally didn't intend to make this limelight, but if the limelight came to her, of course she would never push it away.

She stood up neatly and answered yes, then sat down again, and was about to open the book to read, when suddenly her eyes turned and she glanced out of the window.

someone is coming.

Although her hearing is weak now, she is far better than ordinary people, but she heard a sound of running in the distance.

Very anxious, very flustered, as if something big happened.

Soon, the footsteps stopped outside the courtyard gate, and soon there were voices. One of them was breathing quickly, like a middle-aged servant woman. Wei Shu vaguely heard her mention "Second Madam".

There are two second wives in Cheng's mansion, one is the Xia family of the West Court—that is, the mother of sisters Cheng Yueheng and Cheng Yuechang; and the other is Jiang's.

Could it be that something happened to Mrs. Jiang?

Wei Shu focused her eyes slightly, but saw a little maid dressed as a book boy running towards the courtyard gate, standing on the porch and calling out "Master" crisply.

Master Wu frowned.

Today's lecture was a little later than usual, and she really didn't want to be delayed any longer, but the little maid was anxious and seemed to be in a hurry, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Last night I was busy for most of the night, but things still didn't turn around. She was also worried about this just now, so she unconsciously used the same person hexagram to test the students.

"Benefiting the gentleman, benefiting the great river", is this benefit really available?
After standing for a while, Master Wu finally closed the book, walked out through the curtain and asked, "What's the matter?"

The little servant girl looked very clever, ran up to her, stood on tiptoe and whispered something in her ear, then ran away again.

Wei Shu looked at Mrs. Wu from a distance, saw her brows were slightly loose, seemed to be relieved, and went back to the room again, opened the book and continued to say a few lines of the book of poetry, before saying softly:

"Let's stop here today, and I'll make up the missing lessons in the afternoon."

But it was announced in advance that school was dismissed.

All the girls were astonished, but they didn't dare to ask further questions. Some of them thought of Mrs. Wu's return home yesterday, and it might be very troublesome to guess what happened in her family, so today's class is also Moved to the next afternoon.

After leaving the small study room, everyone dispersed, Wei Shu stood at the bottom of the steps waiting for her because she wanted to go with Mrs. Wu to get books in her courtyard.

Cheng Yuanniang left a little later, and when she stepped over the threshold, she saw the slender figure at a glance.

The wind blew the rain curtain, blurring the figure in the green skirt and plain clothes.

For no reason, she thought of those poetry gatherings and tea parties in the past, of those famous ladies with beautiful hearts, talents and looks, and those figures that were elusive and elusive to her.

At that time, she didn't dare to look at those shadows. The body was like a sharp knife, piercing into her eye sockets and hurting her heart.

Cheng Yuanniang bit her lip hard, her lips turned pale.

After hesitating at the door for a while, she finally stepped forward and called out, "Miss Wei..."

Wei Shu saw her a long time ago, and asked with a smile, "Miss Yuan, is something wrong?"

The little lady gritted her teeth for a long time by herself, thinking she was covering it up very well, but Wei Shu looked straight at her.

Cheng Yuanniang began to bite her lips again, and after a few breaths, she said softly: "The few books that Mr. gave you, can you... also lend me a look?"

As if afraid of Wei Shu's misunderstanding, she hurriedly said again: "Si... naturally, I have to wait until you finish reading it first, and my husband is not in a hurry to urge you to return the book. At that time, you can lend me a read, okay?"

She spoke earnestly, Dan Feng's eyes were full of expectation, and she looked at Wei Shu eagerly.

Wei Shu thought for a while, and said, "The book is not mine, I can't make the decision. Why don't you ask Mr. first, if Mr. agrees, I have no problem."

A trace of gloom flashed across Cheng Yuanniang's eyes, she opened her mouth, and the phrase "If you don't want to excuse me, you can just say it" came to her lips, but from the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Mrs. Wu coming out of the curtain, and she immediately squeezed out the words on her face. With a smile, he said in a soft voice:
"If that's the case, then let it go."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and bowed to Mrs. Wu: "The student will leave."

Master Wu didn't know what the two of them were talking about, so he just smiled gently: "Go back quickly, it's raining heavily."

Cheng Yuanniang saluted again, then supported the little girl's hand, and swayed away.

Wei Shu didn't take this matter to heart, and followed Mrs. Wu out of the courtyard.

As soon as they turned the corner, Wei Shu saw a white-haired man standing at the corner gate of the garden.

Jiang An?

Wei Shu remembered that not long ago, the elder of the Jiang family sent Jiang An's family and the other two servants here to replace the servants who died on the way.Now, this Jiang An has been promoted by the Jiang family as the chief steward, and all matters inside and outside the second room have to go through his hands.

He personally waited at the corner gate, presumably for Cheng Yuejiao, so the "Second Madam" outside the courtyard just now refers to Mrs. Jiang.

Has something really happened to Mrs. Jiang?
After taking the book from Mrs. Wu, Wei Shu was worried, so she didn't go back to the house, but went straight to Youranju, walked out of the East Garden, and met Jiang An again.

He came here specially to inform Wei Shu.

Jiang passed out.

"For the past month, Madam has been reviewing the accounts of the Second Household. This morning, I invited Aunt Fang to come to the house to check the accounts. Who would have thought that she would faint suddenly."

Jiang An explained the reason to Wei Shu.

The words were vague, but the meaning inside and out of the words pointed directly at Fang Qiaoxin.

It seems that this aunt has a lot of shortfalls, and she may be able to pull out someone or some people from the West Court in the future.
