After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 133 Mother, I'm Really Xiao Zi!

Wei Zi closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then asked Qingju, "Is the young master in the mansion today?"

Qingju shook her head: "I heard from Nan Zhu that the young master has gone out to a banquet, and it must be the gathering of those scholars rushing to take the exam."

Wei Zi nodded slightly, and handed the stove to her: "It's getting cold, go and add some hot charcoal for me."

After Qingju left, she sent Luyou to get some hot tea, and managed to get rid of the other maids in the yard.

After finishing all this, she walked up to the gardener, took off a twisted gold bracelet on her wrist, and handed it to him: "Can you trouble elder brother to take me out of the house secretly? I will be back before dark, and I will never give you any trouble." any trouble."

The gold bracelet is heavy.

The gardener held it in the palm of his hand, although he felt like he had found a treasure, he was still afraid: "In case the madam escapes..."

"If you don't worry, you can follow me all the way."

The gardener looked at Wei Zi, she was just a weak girl with no strength to restrain a chicken, where could the huge Shangjing go?
What's more, after hearing that the owner of this family treated her very well, she had no reason to run away, she must just want to get out of the house to get some air.

He thought, and nodded cheerfully.

Wei Zi hid in the carriage of wintersweet, and left the mansion smoothly through the back door.

The gardener accepted the gold bracelet, so he was naturally happy to serve Wei Zi. He drove the carriage and asked, "Where does Madam want to go?"

Wei Zi reported the address of the restaurant.

The restaurant is located in Qingyangfang. When Wei Zi arrived, she saw a plaque with the inscription "Xiakuyuan" on the door. This name was the name of Xiao Fengxian's private house that she copied. Well, choosing a name like "Ziqi Donglai" will make them dislike vulgarity.

It was noon, and the gate of Xia Ku Yuan was crowded with many guests coming in and out.

As she designed, the yard is planted with a lot of quaint pines and ancient cypresses, which is very elegant and secluded.

"Master!" Zuo Hualing was wearing an apron, and was overjoyed to see her coming, "You haven't come for a long time, I thought you didn't care about me!"

Wei Zi held her hand with a smile: "How is the business going?"

Zuo Hualing said honestly: "When a restaurant is opened in this kind of place, it is naturally a loss at first. Later, the number of repeat customers gradually increased, and those repeat customers brought new friends to eat, and the business gradually improved. I calculated carefully, from Since its opening, it has actually made a net profit of more than 200 taels of silver. My boss, the capital city is different from the county town, and there are so many rich people!"

Just make money...

Wei Zi was thinking, and his eyes fell on the corner of the yard.

There is a loquat tree planted in the corner of the yard. Although it is winter, it is still verdant. There is a wicker chair under the tree. A young man dressed as a nobleman is lying on the wicker chair with a book covered on his face.

She couldn't help wondering: "It's cold, what is he doing sitting there?"

"Oh, he," Zuo Hualing explained, "is a frequent visitor to our house. He didn't come here today for dinner. He ordered a salt and pepper crispy rice. He said he wanted to take it away and give it to his sweetheart."

While talking, salt and pepper crispy rice is ready.

Zuo Hualing held the food box in his hand, and said with a smile: "My master doesn't know, many rich and powerful people here don't eat crispy rice. I’ve never seen this before. I sauteed it with salt and pepper until fragrant, then mixed it with chili sauce, fermented bean curd, and preserved vegetables. Not to mention how fragrant it is! Although it’s rough, it’s a very popular dish in our family! "

She walked over and presented the food box to the young man.

The young man took off the book covering his face, "Well, are you done?"

He took the food box and walked out. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wei Zi standing under the eaves not far away, and he was surprised.

This is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen in his life.

Standing in the bitter winter wind, she wore a embroidered gold-thread jacket and skirt in the color of a concubine, gentle and gentle like a pool of spring water, and she used a golden comb inlaid with pearls to meticulously pull up her crow-green hair bun. Although she was dressed plainly, she had bright eyes, white teeth, white skin, and an extremely glamorous appearance. As she looked over, it seemed that the entire courtyard had lost its color, and her whole body was like a delicate and beautiful peony that was just about to bloom.

National color Tianxiang.

These four words emerged in the youth's mind.

Even after reading all the beauties, I am still amazed.

"My lord?" The servant behind reminded in a low voice, "This crispy rice should be eaten while it's hot, so you have to send it to Miss Wei quickly."

The young man came back to his senses and patted his head: "Almost forgot the serious business! The little fan can't eat hot rice, so he must be angry with me."

The master and servant were talking, and hurriedly left Xia Ku Yuan.

Wei Zi didn't take this episode to heart, and left after lunch with Zuo Hualing.

Beijing is prosperous.

There are row upon row of high terraces and pavilions, connected by pavilions and corridors in the air, all the way to the majestic imperial palace in the center of the capital, bustling with traffickers, street stalls display all kinds of gadgets that Wei Zi has seen and never seen before, streamers The flags are flying, and the lively hawking and hustle and bustle are like a heat wave, making the whole capital come alive.

The gardener who was driving suddenly stopped the carriage: "Ma'am, there is someone making trouble in front of you."

Wei Zi raised the curtain of the car curiously to look.

"mother!"

The 17-year-old girl fell to her knees in the middle of the street with a "plop".

She abruptly stopped the carriage of the Duke of Zhen's mansion, crying with snot and tears: "Mother, I'm Xiao Zi!"

Wei Zi raised an eyebrow.

Isn't this Xiao Dujuan?
The carriage on the opposite side was luxurious and exquisite, and the word "Wei" was impressively embroidered on the lantern hanging on the corner of the carriage.

The coachman held his horsewhip and scolded impatiently: "Another impostor came to recognize relatives! Since the notice was posted, there are as many women who want to attach themselves to the Duke of Zhen's mansion as the crucian carp crossing the river. Judging by your appearance, you must be one of them! Counterfeit! Hurry up and get out of the way, don't get in the way of my wife!"

"I'm not a fake!" Xiao Dujuan burst into tears, and walked a few steps forward, "Mother, I'm really Xiao Zi!"

Xu Shi's crying was so sad that the curtain of the carriage was finally rolled up.

Wei Zi's heart trembled, and he looked at the carriage from afar.

There is a noble lady sitting in the carriage. Although she is middle-aged, she has a beautiful face and a plump body, with a gentle and graceful expression. She looks like she is used to being pampered. The key features are five points similar to her. It must be Mrs. Zhen Guogong.

Wei Zi opened his mouth and silently called out the word "mother".

Her lips trembled, and she couldn't help but blushed.

When she was a child, she was often abused by Mrs. Xing. Before going to bed, she would look at the moon outside the window and imagine what her mother would look like. She imagined it thousands of times, thinking that her mother must be gentle and beautiful, with a soft and beautiful face. With long hair and warm hands, seeing a real person now is almost the same as what she imagined...

"mother."

A crisp and sweet female voice attracted Wei Zi's attention.

She searched for her reputation, and there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl sitting beside Mrs. Zhen Guogong, who was coquettishly holding her arm.

She was stunned.

She has seen this girl before!
