The woman smiled at Shi Wen'er, and without waiting for Shi Wen'er to speak, she sat opposite Shi Wen'er by herself, and said to the young man with a smile: "Ah Yi, go and let the shopkeeper serve two more pots of fine flower carvings, and if there are good dishes, please add them." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ah Yi agreed to leave, and the woman turned her face and looked at Shi Wen'er with a smile. Shi Wen'er sat down silently and looked at this uninvited guest.

This woman was very obedient, she didn't wait for Shi Wen'er to speak, and answered the question in Shi Wen'er's heart: "The slave's surname is Wu, that one," she pointed to the one sitting outside, the middle-aged scribe Shi Wen'er had ever seen, "It's the slave's brother." He was a retainer of Prime Minister Ma of the State of Chu. ”

"Prime Minister Ma?" Shi Wen'er's eyes narrowed, recalling this very familiar-sounding title, the corners of her mouth rose, and she grinned, "Why does it sound like an old friend?" ”

"Exactly," Mrs. Wu smiled gently, "Mr. Shi feels like an old man, but it's true." Mr. Shi was in Rongzhou a few months ago, didn't he just meet Ma Gongzi? ”

Shi Wen'er showed a look of sudden realization on his face, he nodded, and said with a smile: "Exactly, exactly." His eyes flashed, and he laughed softly again, "Could it be that Mrs. Wu is the lady in charge of the Yao Wine Workshop?" ”

Wu Niangzi didn't mean to hide her identity, she nodded without hesitation, and said, "Mr. guessed right, the slave family is Wu Zhengqing, the housekeeper of the Yao Wine Workshop." ”

Speaking of this, she slowly raised her head, looked at Shi Wen'er with gentle eyes, a pair of beautiful eyes full of exhaustion and grievances, and said sadly: "She is also Jie Zhengyu's wife." ”

Shi Wen'er was taken aback, the name "Jie Zhengyu", since Zhu Liang Guopo, appeared in the list of heavy money seized by the Patrol Department together with the three words "Ye Qiguang", and was eliminated as a dead person together. Nowadays, no one talks about it anymore.

Jie Zhengyu and Ye Qiguang are brothers, Jie Zhengyu's family is a Lingnan family, and the brothers were one in the south and one in the north, Shi Wen'er only knew that Jie Zhengyu married a wife and had children, but he had never seen a senior brother's wife. Later, I heard that Jie Zhengyu's wife disappeared when the country was broken, but I didn't expect that she had been hiding in Rongzhou.

"On the day of the collapse of the country, my husband was unwilling to surrender, and our husband and wife fought side by side in this Taihu Lake to resist Li Xuan." Wu Zhengqing saw Shi Wen'er showing a look of surprise, and said in a calm and gentle voice, "Li Xuan offered a reward of thousands of gold to buy my husband's head." Don't talk about the Shatuo people, even so many old robes of Zhu Liang in the past were killed to Taihu Lake. Zhengyu ate Li Yuehua's sword and fell into Taihu Lake, thanks to Kong Yang's rescue, he didn't die. Zhengyu simply pretended to fall into the water and died, sent the slave family back to Lingnan, and hid as a steward in the Jie family's winery, while he took people and fell into the grass in Taihu Lake.

Later, Li Yuehua went to Lingnan again, and the Jie family was afraid that they would not be able to see him, so they sold their property and left for other places, and the slave family did not want to leave Zhengyu, so they stayed. ”

Wu Zhengqing's voice began to choke, "Mr. Shi must know everything about the rest of the matter." Unexpectedly, Zhengyu was confused by his apprentice and wanted to marry his apprentice, so he disregarded morality and stopped his wife and remarried, but now, how can he let the slave family be good! ”

Shi Wen'er quietly watched Wu Zhengqing cry sadly, shook his head and sighed, and said embarrassedly: "Senior brother does this, it is indeed against the etiquette law, but this is a senior brother's family matter, and I, as a junior brother, don't ask too much......

Wu Zhengqing wiped the tears off her face, smiled at Shi Wen'er clearly, her voice was still low and pleasant, and she said, "Yes, the slave family understands." However, the slave family thought, if it is a state matter, will Mr. Shi have to ask? ”

"State affairs?" Shi Wen'er smiled helplessly, "Which country's business?" Since the lady is the wife of the senior brother, she should understand that for Shi Mou, where is there any state affairs now? ”

Wu Zhengqing smiled and said, "At that time, did Mr. want to know, why did those people want to overthrow Yao Liquor Fang?" Also, who is Lu Liangjun? ”

Shi Wen'er's heart moved, but she smiled quietly: "Lu Liangjun? Rongzhou judge? ”

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Wu Zhengqing stopped and didn't speak, only to see that it was still the young man just now, who came in with a flower sculpture and a few dishes, and said: "There are several groups of guests in this restaurant today, and the store said that the private rooms upstairs are all full." The food in the kitchen was not available for the guests to eat, so I had to wait outside the kitchen by myself, and when I saw the finished dishes, I grabbed them in my hands first. ”

Wu Zhengqing looked at the young man lovingly, took the wine and food in his hand and put it on the table, poured another glass of wine for Shi Wen'er, and said to the young man gently: "Ah Yi, go to dinner, don't always take care of us, one dish and two dishes, what's the matter." ”

She poured herself another glass of wine and smiled at Shi Wen'er: "Ah Yi is the child of our Wu family's housekeeper, and now he is also studying in Chu State, but he has to keep that ancient rite and always treat himself as a servant." ”

Ah Yi said: "We Chu people, the state of etiquette, respect and inferiority are orderly, there is a difference between the old and the young, we can't learn from those Shatuo children, right?" Even if they enter the Central Plains, they are foreign barbarians and do not understand etiquette. ”

Shi Wen'er heard what Ah Yi said, hid a needle in the cotton, and said with a smile: "What Brother Ah Yi said is that we are Han people, and we should know that we are noble and lowly, and ethics are common. ”

Wu Zhengqing smiled and nodded at Ah Yi, Ah Yi understood, and after bowing to Shi Wen'er and Wu Zhengqing, he retreated to the side of the curtain upside down, and then lifted the curtain and withdrew.

Shi Wen'er saw Ah Yi's deliberate performance, and sneered twice in her heart, but pretended not to know, picked up the wine glass, and said to Wu Zhengqing: "Sister-in-law, little brother respects you." ”

Wu Zhengqing drank it all according to his words, and sighed softly: "After all, it is not as good as the wine in Yao Distillery." Thinking about the three proprietors at the beginning, every time they will be amazed by the Yao Wine Workshop, I am afraid that I will not have to drink it this year. She smiled gently, picked up a pair of new chopsticks next to her, thoughtfully prepared Shi Wen'er's dishes, and said with a gentle smile: "Mr. taste this Taihu Lake Sanbai, I ate it with Zhengyu when I was stationed in Taihu Lake in the past, but now I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”

Shi Wen'er thanked her, and when she mentioned the three ghosts, she took another bite of "Zhengyu", and whispered tentatively: "Sister-in-law, don't mention the name of the senior brother in the future, it will cause the senior brother to lose his head." Sister-in-law no matter what, she is thinking about the relationship between husband and wife with her senior brother, and sister-in-law thinks what I said is right? ”

Wu Zhengqing nodded apologetically, looked around, and looked out through the gauze curtain, except for the Wu family brother and Ah Yi, there was no one else outside.

Wu Zhengqing said apologetically to Shi Wen'er: "Mr. reminded me that the slave family was too careless. Fortunately, in this hall, there are no other outsiders except for us. Ah Yi and his brother are already insiders. (To be continued.) )
