Chapter 151 Jiang Miaodan Shi Shaohua returns to Beijing
Hanshuang was sent to check Wusunya's situation before, and he happened to be back at this moment. He reported back to Shen Qingyun: "According to the news from Tingfeng Pavilion, Jiang Miaodan and Shi Shaohua went all the way to Xiangxian County. In order to cover up others' eyes, they are now renting Lived in a small courtyard of a farmhouse.”
"Oh? Xiangxian County seems to be just a poor small county. So how do these two people get along?" Shen Qingyun asked with a smile.
In the past, Jiang Miaodan was very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and would not sleep on anything but a high bed and a soft pillow. It seems that the power of love is extraordinary, and now he can even live in a small farmhouse.
However, Han Shuang's words instantly made Shen Qingyun understand that she had overestimated.
"The two of them don't seem to be getting along well. There are always noisy sounds every night. Jiang Miaodan also complained that Shi Shaohua took her to such a small county."
In fact, not only Jiang Miaodan, but also Shi Shaohua was not used to it.
Although he was a male prostitute, because of his handsome appearance and sweet mouth, he had been living a free and unrestrained life with the ladies of the world. Later, when he came to the Hou Mansion, although it was not luxurious, he lived in a high pavilion anyway. I have long forgotten the feeling of lying in a thatched house as a child.
But the place they live in now is just an ordinary farmhouse. Not to mention the hard beds, even the new bedding still exudes an indescribable stench.
The house is more simple than clean. I am used to seeing exquisite screen ornaments and silk curtains. Now I see this simple wooden table, chair and earthen wall. The yard is no longer filled with carefully tended flowers and plants. There was still a little chicken manure on the ground, and the gap in my heart was indescribably huge.
They themselves also put on simple clothes to avoid wearing gold and silver that would be too eye-catching, which made Jiang Miaodan, who loves to dress up, very dissatisfied.
What made her even more unbearable was that she had to do everything by herself. In the past, maids had to do small things like dressing and combing her hair, but now she even had to boil the bath water by herself. Shi Shaohua also went from being obedient at the beginning to persuading her. Everything needs to be self-reliant.
Jiang Miaodan couldn't help getting angry and complaining every day. The temper of the squeamish eldest lady was gradually revealed, making it somewhat difficult for Shi Shaohua to resist.
At this moment, both people in the farmhouse couldn't help but question this relationship.
Jiang Miaodan hopes that Shi Shaohua can buy a small house and hire a few servants, so that he and Shi Shaohua can be a couple of gods every day. However, Shi Shaohua knows that if they do this, their money will not be able to support them for long. How to do it.
Seeing that Shi Shaohua did not agree to his conditions, Jiang Miaodan ran away in anger, and Shi Shaohua had no choice but to chase him. As he was not familiar with the place, the two finally took many detours before returning to the yard in disgrace.
To make matters worse, as soon as Shi Shaohua entered the room, he saw signs of being rummaged everywhere, and suddenly found that all the banknotes at home were gone!
"Which thief stole our money!" Shi Shaohua collapsed. He rushed out of the yard and shouted, but the only response was a few distant dog barks.
Jiang Miaodan burst into tears and sat on the bedside at a loss, sobbing: "Shaohua, the money is gone, what should we do? Let's go back to Kyoto."
Shi Shaohua sat dejectedly on the cold ground: "Why, we can't even come up with the travel expenses. We don't have a carriage, so we don't know how long it will take to reach the end."
"Then you can't just wait here to starve to death. Can't you go out and make money?" Jiang Miaodan yelled out of control.
"You still have the nerve to say that it's not your fault for this!" Shi Shaohua rushed in front of Jiang Miaodan and stared at her fiercely: "If I didn't go out to look for you, how could I let people steal property? If you dare to do anything to me again Roar, believe it or not, I will sell you for money!"
Shi Shaohua had always been gentle and considerate, but when he became so violent and fierce, his eyes seemed as if Jiang Miaodan would tear her apart if he said one more word.
Fear and anger were mixed together, Jiang Miaodan finally dared not speak anymore, and the room fell into a deathly silence.
The news came back through Tingfeng Pavilion, and Shen Qingyun sighed: "In that case, let's help them."
So two days later, Shi Shaohua and Jiang Miaodan were lucky enough to pick up a package that someone else had dropped. They took it back secretly, opened the layers of linen, and found that there was a lot of white money inside.
Although it's not much, it's still enough if you want to find a carriage and buy some food back to Kyoto.
Although the two of them had not spoken much since the quarrel, they now embarked on the road back to Kyoto together in tacit understanding.
They thought they were full after drinking water, but after drinking the earthy-smelling water every day, they finally realized what it meant to be hungry.
All love and love are not as important as the warm steamed buns in your hands.
Shi Shaohua prepared some dry food and took Jiang Miaodan back to Kyoto day and night. As for what to do in the future, there was a tacit agreement not to talk about it, not wanting to pull away the last fig leaf between them.
By the time they entered the city of Kyoto, the sky had darkened. They were looking dusty and smelled bad. They just needed to find an inn to settle down and tidy up tomorrow before returning to the Marquis' Mansion.
What a coincidence, there is only one inn open around here, and it is the one where Mrs. Jianghou and Shen Zhifeng are staying.
Shi Shaohua's expression was complicated, he covered his face and silently followed the waiter into the room.
The waiter thought they were a young couple and kindly reminded them: "Two guests, try to keep their voices as low as possible at night. There is also a couple living across the street, but they have weird temperaments and rarely go out. They also have a bad temper. They get angry at the slightest movement. Shocking."
Jiang Miaodan frowned: "Can't you give us another room?"
The waiter scratched his head in embarrassment: "We are all occupied, so we can only bother the guest officer to make do with it for one night."
Shi Shaohua's eyelids twitched twice, and he whispered: "We all know, you can go down, anyway, we will leave tomorrow morning."
"It's really useless." Jiang Miaodan pouted and complained softly. She lay down on the bed and let out a sigh of relief. She hadn't slept on such a soft bed for a long time.
She didn't bother to pay attention to Shi Shaohua, who was still in a daze. The fatigue and soreness all over her body made her not want to move at all, and she fell asleep on her own.
Shi Shaohua sat on the chair and stared blankly at the door.
He knew that across the street were Mrs. Jianghou and Shen Zhifeng.
Looking back on this journey, he felt that Mrs. Jiang Hou treated him really well.
After Jiang Miaodan returned to Kyoto, she would definitely marry into another official family in the future, and he had no illusions about her. If Jiang Miaodan could no longer be used, would it be possible to rely on that child to be with Mrs. Jiang Hou? What a better choice.
Just as he was struggling in his mind, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening in the opposite room.
Shi Shaohua's brows twitched, and after confirming that Jiang Miaodan was asleep on the bed, he quietly walked to the door of the room and opened a small crack.
At the end of the corridor, a woman's figure flashed past, it was Mrs. Jianghou.
