Chapter 12 Huagu
Yunying stopped, and she looked at Mr. Xu's small eyes, and the smile on her face gradually solidified. On the eaves behind her, a sea-blue bird stood in a corner, and her black beans looked tightly at Yunying.
After the two looked at each other for a while, Yunying's mouth suddenly raised and a moving smile turned on her face, "There are a lot of things happening in the mansion recently, and I'm worried that you can't take care of yourself, so..."
Her waist was suddenly hugged by Mr. Xu from behind, and his warm breath was instantly covered with his neck, "I don't have to worry. As long as you leave me, it's worth it no matter how tired you are." Mr. Xu's hand was facing up her body, unbuttoning Yunying's buttons one by one, and was about to reach into her collar.
"Ah." Yun Ying's body tightened suddenly, and a sharp cry like a whistle came out of her mouth, "Ghost, there is a ghost." She broke free from the arms of the man behind her, squatted on the ground with her arms in her arms, and her body shook constantly.
"Ghost?" Mr. Xu's eyes narrowed into a thin slit. He walked around Yunying, squatted down and stared at her white face as white as snow. "It's blue and white, where did the ghost come from? Yunying, can you fool me?"
Yunying raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with tears. She grabbed Mr. Xu's clothes tightly with both hands, her knuckles were so white that they were blue, "Did you really not see it? Just now, at the window..."
"Window?" Manager Xu turned his head and looked at the west wing behind him. There was originally a room where Xiao Zhu was. No one came in after she died. The lattice of the window was dark and I couldn't see anything clearly. However, Yun Ying's trembling hands suddenly made him feel uneasy. He seemed to vaguely feel a blurry white shadow embedded in the darkness, and showed him a creepy smile.
"What did you see?" President Xu cleared his throat, barely calmed down, and turned his head to look at Yunying.
"A pale face flashed by, but I could still see her eyes, scarlet and red, with two blood and tears," her hand grabbed even tighter, "You said, could it be Xiao Zhu? She was unwilling to die, so she came back..."
"What nonsense?" General Manager Xu shook Yunying's hand away and stopped her words. However, he said this, but turned his head and looked at the window carefully for a while until he found that there was indeed no ghost inside, and only millions of dust were flying in the morning light that had just penetrated. Then he let out a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to Yunying, "After a while, I will find a few people to clean up the wing room, open the doors and windows for breathing. If you are so stuffy every day, a good house will also bring in something unclean.
After saying this, he stared at Yunying's face and looked carefully for a while. Seeing that she was still shocked and at a loss, he couldn't help but feel much less interested and walked towards the front hall.
Yunying listened to his footsteps gradually fading away, then stood up. She slowly walked to the west wing room, opened the door and walked in. The decorations in the room were the same as those in Xiao Zhu's lifetime, without any changes. Her hand brushed across the small dressing table beside the door. Once, she personally served Xiao Zhu's makeup here every morning. But now a thick layer of dust has accumulated on it, and there are several fine finger marks left wherever her fingers go.
"Sister Yunying, would you please comb a snail bun for me today?" Xiao Zhu's tender voice seemed to echo in the room again.
Yunying smiled miserably and sat down by the bed. Her eyes that could not see the sadness and joy were looking out the window, and her five fingers slowly gathered together.
The bird on the eaves singed, breaking the heavy silence of Huo's house. It shook its wings and soared into the air and flew towards the dawn in the mist.
There were many neighbors gathered outside Jihong Embroidery House. While they were lying on their heads and necks, they were watching inside while whispering something with the people beside them.
"Is it Hua Gu from Qifenglou who just entered?"
"Can you admit your mistake? The one who dresses the brightest in the brand new Ancheng is her, she is like a courtship pheasant."
"Hey, don't say it so badly."
"It's just a chicken head, so I won't be able to tell you anymore, but why did she come to Jihong Embroidery House for?"
"It must be embroidering the girls in the building. I just saw them moving a lot of things from the car, and it seemed that a pack of them was...a bellyband."
As soon as these two words came out, the crowd suddenly burst into flames.
"I thought it was a fan and a handkerchief, but I didn't expect it to be..."
"Oh, this Yan Niang looks like a decent person, but she didn't expect to take on such a job."
"I heard that other embroidery shops in the city never do business with Qifenglou. They would pull the fabric to other places to embroider and transport it back. However, the Yellow River has recently flooded the road and flooded the road, which made Hua Gu so anxious that she was so anxious that she found out that Yan Niang came here, and what she didn't expect was that the Jihong embroidery shop not only took over her work, but even was willing to embroider her bellyband."
"It's really ruining my reputation for money. Who would be willing to come here in the future if the serious people in the city are willing to come here?"
"You are just stupid. After taking over the business of Qifenglou, are you still afraid that you will not have money to make money in the future? With us small buyers, the money from Qifenglou is much easier."
"But can I do it with her, Yan Niang alone? I saw them bringing a car full of things."
"This is not something we can worry about. Let's part, let's all of you break up, let's part, and let's not have any contact with their family in the future."
They said as they dispersed, but no one moved, and still stretched his neck to look into the door. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Yan Niang and a woman in five-colored flower clothes appeared in front of everyone. The woman was tall and not inferior to a man. The powder on her face seemed to be several feet thick, covering the ruthless lines beside her eyes and the corners of her mouth. Her eyes were like a wind that left no trace, swept past the heads of the crowd at the door, and then fell back to Yan Niang, "Then I'll have a hard time. I'll trouble the girl. I'll take the embroidered look to Qifenglou tomorrow." Although she thanked her, her tone seemed extremely cold, as if her arrival was a great gift to Yan Niang.
But Yan Niang was not angry. She still had a smile on her lips as usual, nodding and saying two words, "It must."
Huagu nodded with satisfaction, walked down the steps and boarded the carriage that had been waiting for her for a long time. The coachman pulled the reins, and the carriage left, stirring up a burst of dust, choking and coughing endlessly on the neighbors standing behind watching the fun.
"I'm going to die, isn't it just a madam who runs a brothel?" They shouted loudly until the carriage turned around at the entrance of the alley and disappeared.
