frivolous princess

Chapter 103 A play in front of the door
Seeing her promise, Jiang Ruolin smiled, "From now on, when sister goes to Shen's residence, can you take me with you?"

Shangguan Fuxue's face twitched, and she forced a smile: "It's not a big deal. If Miss Jiang wants to go, she can go too."

At this moment, Jiang Ruolin lowered her face in shame, and became embarrassed, "I just lied. If Brother Shen came to visit me often, Mother would already say that I don't know how to be ashamed. If there is no one who introduces me to accompany me , rashly went to the Shen residence, and outsiders don't know what to say."

Shangguan Fuxue didn't expect that she was also a shy person, so she couldn't help but chuckled, "I've seen Miss Jiang be careless before, and she always went straight and straight, and there was never anything to be taboo about. Now when I encounter such a thing, I am not generous."

Jiang Ruolin slapped her with a smile, "Sister, you can't make fun of me! It is said that the third lady belongs to the prince of Chu, and she is also an enemy with the prince of Chu, and they always quarrel and amuse themselves. But in front of others, my sister behaves well. Yes. I’m the exact opposite of my sister! It’s not because of reserve, but just thinking about it makes me feel embarrassed.” As she spoke, she blushed unconsciously and lowered her head.

Shangguan Fuxue heard her sentence just now, "It is said that the third lady is from the prince of Chu", she felt uncomfortable for a while, her face couldn't help changing, and said embarrassingly: "Miss Jiang, don't talk nonsense, although I and the prince of Chu There are some friendships, but they are just friends, not the kind of relationship you think!"

Jiang Ruolin tilted her head and looked at her puzzled, "Can a man and a woman be friends?"

Shangguan Fuxue said solemnly: "Of course! If every man and woman were a little bit familiar, it would be considered that kind of relationship, wouldn't the relationship between men and women in the world be messed up?!"

Mrs. Jiang listened to her words, but she seemed a little reluctant to agree with her, and said to Jiang Ruolin: "Miss San has a big heart, so she naturally thinks differently from us. No matter what relationship San Miss has with the prince of Chu, it is their private matter. Others mess around Just say it, you can't just talk nonsense!"

Jiang Ruolin nodded in half-belief, half-understanding, and grinned at Shangguan Fuxue, "Sister, come play with me?! I haven't gone out these days, and I'm bored in the house. While my sister is here, I want to have a good time." Play!"

Shangguan Fuxue nodded, and was about to say yes when Jiang Ruolin dragged her away.

On the way back, Shangguan Fuxue was troubled for a while.This matchmaker has always been a technical job, and it is a technical job that she is not good at.If it is not done well, not only will it affect the relationship between the brothers and sisters, but it will also affect the relationship between the Shangguan Mansion and the Jiang and Shen Mansions, and it may even affect the reputation of the Shangguan Mansion.

"Miss, do you really want to be a matchmaker for Miss Jiang, tell her to Mr. Shen?" Lu thought that she had been silent, and guessed that she must be thinking about the things Mrs. Jiang entrusted, and was worried.

Shangguan Fuxue was troubled: "Are you kidding me?! I don't have a matchmaker mole on my face, how can I look like a matchmaker?!"

Lu Yi curled her lips and said worriedly: "But Miss just agreed to Mrs. Jiang..."

"When did I agree?! Did I agree to be a matchmaker?!" Shangguan Fuxue said loudly, "I clearly promised that I could go and find out what my brother said! I didn't want to be a matchmaker for them! "

Shangguan Fuxue fanned the wind with her hands irritably, "What's wrong with these people these two days? Why are they all like bees seeing sugar--the heart is rippling!" She stomped her feet angrily, "I'm so annoying !"

When they were approaching the gate of Shangguan Mansion, the two of them saw many people gathered around the gate from a distance, arguing a lot.

"Luyi, what happened at home? Why are there so many people around?" Shangguan Fuxue muttered.

Lu Yi shook her head, "Miss, I don't know either!"

Shangguan Fuxue knew that it was useless to ask her, so she hurriedly walked a few steps and moved closer to the front.

I saw a woman with a very familiar figure, dressed in plain clothes, kneeling beside the stone lion at the door, crying loudly with her face buried.In front of her was a stretcher covered with a layer of white cloth, with two feet sticking out from one end of the white cloth, motionless.

Shangguan Fuxue understood a little bit, dare to believe that someone sold his body to bury him at the door of his house... Husband?father?Brother?Or some other relative?
Shangguan Fuxue looked at the familiar figure but couldn't remember it for a while, she still planned to find a seat to watch the play, standing in the crowd, watching secretly.

"Miss, what is that woman doing?" Lu Yi asked.

"Cry!"

"why cry?"

"It's dead!"

"..." Actually, Lu Yi wanted to ask this woman why she was crying at the gate of the General's Mansion, but she didn't know why she asked these useless and stupid questions.Seeing that Shangguan Fuxue didn't have that patience, he couldn't ask any more questions, so he curled his lips, collected his thoughts, stood beside Shangguan Fuxue, and watched silently.

At this time, the door of the house opened, and the old lady walked out slowly with the support of Mother Su.

"Who is crying in front of my general's mansion?" The old lady asked with a sullen face when she came up.

The woman cried and crawled up to the old lady, and immediately hugged the old lady's leg, "Old lady, please save the slave family!"

"I heard that your brother died in your family, and you want to go to my general's mansion to sell yourself as a slave and bury your brother?" The old lady had asked about the matter just now. She worshiped Buddha all the year round, and she came out to see with compassion.

Wiping her tears again and again, the woman bowed to the old lady, "Please take me in!"

The old lady glanced at her, "Raise your head up and let me see."

The woman raised her face. Although her hair was a little messy, she could still see a little bit of her beautiful face.

Mother Su beside her was surprised, she hurriedly whispered to the old lady: "This old slave knows this girl."

The old lady was taken aback, "Tell me!"

Su's mother said: "This is the servant girl next to His Royal Highness Prince Chu. Although I don't know the name of the old slave, I can recognize her face. At that time, the third lady was seriously injured and died, and she stayed at the Chu Palace for two days. Miss San went to pick her up in person. When the old slave saw Miss San, it was this servant girl who waited by her side."

The old lady said "Oh", and took a deep look at the woman, as if she understood something, she said softly: "This woman, I am afraid that His Royal Highness was called to serve Xue'er. His Royal Highness is worried about Xue'er, and wants to call someone I took care of her by her side, but I couldn't hold back my face, so I asked this woman to come over and play such a show. Tell me, isn't that the case?"

Mother Su nodded respectfully, "It must be what the old lady said."

The old lady smiled, pretending to be ignorant and asked the woman, "There are many rich and noble families in this capital, why do you insist on coming to our general's mansion?"

The woman wept and said: "My family heard about the third lady before, and I longed to serve her by her side and enjoy the honor of the third lady. The family was already heavily in debt to treat my brother's illness, and now he is driving west. The creditor is coming, and the slave family really has no choice but to come and beg the third lady to take her in!"

"I heard you talking, it doesn't look like a child from a poor family!" The old lady said firmly.

The woman didn't change her expression, she still wiped away her tears with the handkerchief, "Madam didn't know something, the parents who passed away were all educated, they died late. I have been influenced by my ears and eyes since I was a child."

"It's so good!" The old lady smiled comfortably, "There are few maids in this house who are knowledgeable about books and etiquette. If you want to serve the third lady, you can stay."

"Wait a minute!" Shangguan Fuxue looked at it for a while, and finally couldn't help interrupting, walked up, pointed at the woman and said: "Girl, I think you look familiar! Where have you seen it? Your name It's called—silhouette, right?"

The corners of Silhouette's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly apologized with a smile: "My family used to be a maid in the Chu Palace. During the two days that the third lady lived in the Chu Palace, she bumped into the third lady somewhere and made Her Royal Highness kick her out."

"Hushed out?" Shangguan Fuxue made it clear that she didn't believe it, and took two steps to the side of the "corpse", staring at the woman clearly, but stepped on the hand of the "corpse" impartially.

Silhouette's face was full of tears, and he said aggrievedly: "Miss San doesn't know something, His Royal Highness is uncertain, and if he is unhappy at any time, he likes to drive people out."

Shangguan Fuxue rolled her eyes, your reason is too far-fetched!Although Nangong Lieyan is moody, he won't drive you out, right?Although you've only been here for two days, anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see your status in Chu Palace!You are a "housekeeper" level figure, he can just kick you out of the house? !Believe it or not!

Feeling the trembling of the hand under her foot, she became more aware, and pretended to move her foot without knowing it, and stepped on the stomach of the "corpse" generously.

"You..." Silhouette was obviously taken aback, looked at it worriedly, but continued to cry with aggrieved face: "Third Miss, you don't have to believe me. But how can you treat the dead like this? This is against me" Brother, you're so disrespectful!" She said, and she was about to burst into tears, and rushed to the side of the "corpse" and knelt down.

The "corpse" couldn't stand Shangguan Fuxue's trampling, it struggled upwards, but was crushed down by the silhouette that jumped on it.The silhouette threw itself on top of him, pressed him without a trace and prevented him from moving, and howled loudly.

Silhouette cried and pushed Shangguan Fuxue's foot on his stomach, "Miss San, please let go of my 'brother'! He suffered during his lifetime, and as my younger sister, I must never let his 'corpse' stand in front of others again." Humiliated!"

"It doesn't matter." Shangguan Fuxue smiled lightly, but stomped hard, "I'm just curious if this is really a 'corpse'."

The "corpse" snorted under the white cloth, and said in a low voice, "Is it easy for me to earn this little money? You are going to spoil me like this!"

Silhouette comforted in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, be careful to miss the stuff. After the matter is done, you will be indispensable."

The man cursed something in a low voice, then stopped speaking.

Shangguan Fuxue had already had a panoramic view of everything, and couldn't help being amused. From this, it can be seen that it is difficult to be an actor, and it is even more difficult to be an actor who plays a "corpse" well!
