Rouge wrong

The most talked about in Maoshanqian Village recently is the newly moved female shopkeeper at the entrance of the village, not only because she is an outsider, but also because she runs a grain and oil grocery store in this poor place.

Maoshanqian Village is located on the border between Shenzhou and Hezhou, and it is a poor place.In the past few years, the weather has been good and the villagers are barely self-sufficient. In the past few years, I don’t know how many people died of starvation.

People who have seen this female shopkeeper praised her for being young and beautiful, wearing extraordinary clothes, and she seemed to come from a good family, but somehow she was doing this kind of business alone in a remote village, which obviously didn't make much money.

It was only half a month ago that the female shopkeeper came to Maoshanqian Village. She bought a few houses and land at the entrance of the village, and hired the middle-aged people in the village to rectify them. The green bricks and black tiles were repaired, and the grocery store suddenly became a The best home in the village.

The old carpenter in the village made a signboard for the grocery store, with gold letters on a red background, magnificent and magnificent, which is quite incompatible with the entire Maoshanqian village.

On the seventh day of June, it is appropriate to open, and Shenji Grocery opened with great fanfare on this day.

All the women, children and children in the village came to join in the fun. After the string of firecrackers was set off, two pieces of red cloth were opened, and Boss Shen finally appeared in front of everyone.

Before, most people only heard about this mysterious female shopkeeper from the craftsmen who came in and out. Today is an eye-opener.

Boss Shen has a tall and straight figure in a brocade robe and jade belt, which is the men's attire popular among aristocratic and rich ladies nowadays. Looking at the jade quality and golden appearance, the beauty of the sky and the charm of the moon, the villagers were amazed.

Only her expression is stern, and there seems to be a wicked and coquettish air between her brows and eyes, which makes people daunting.

Boss Shen glanced at everyone's eyes, and the villagers were so frightened that they fell silent.

"Come and get the sugar..." She held a sandalwood box in her hand, which contained all kinds of exquisite pastries and candies, not to mention children, even adults have never seen it before.The villagers stared straight at him, but no one dared to go forward first.

Boss Shen's voice was cold, with the majesty of a superior. Although he was not angry, it was enough to make people fearful.

She waited for a while, seemingly impatient and puzzled, grabbed the candy cake and shook it, repeating: "Come and get the candy..."

She didn't have the amiable appearance of a businessman at all, and the villagers immediately didn't know what to do.

At this moment, a thin, short, ragged little girl came out tremblingly.Everyone in the village knew her as the second girl of Tie Zhu's family.

Maoshanqian Village is a poor place. The villagers are basically not rich, but the poor can be divided into three or six grades. This Tiezhu family is the poorest household in the village.

In recent years, the weather has been favorable. Last year, the fall of the Demon Cult was celebrated everywhere. The imperial court exempted a lot of taxes, and each family finally had some surplus food left.

After the death of Wang Tiezhu's original wife, he didn't have to give birth, and he married a vicious stepmother for the child. The family was in dire straits every day, and life was almost difficult.

During the Chinese New Year last year, Wang Tiezhu sold his eldest daughter cruelly, so he lost his family and starved to death.

It's just pity that Erya and the youngest son lost the elder sister's care, and they were bullied and beaten by the stepmother. There were not a few grains of chaff in three days, and the nearly ten-year-old child looked like five or six years old.

Wang Tiezhu originally wanted to sell the two girls as well, the eldest daughter was beautiful, but the youngest daughter had a bright red birthmark from her mother's womb, so the brothel restaurant refused to accept her, so she had to give up.

People in the village talk about these children and say they are pitiful, but they avoid them like snakes and scorpions on weekdays. If it weren't for the excitement today, I'm afraid they would have forgotten the pair of siblings.

Erya was weak, with her back bent and her face lowered, she walked cautiously in front of Shen Cuo.

Shen Cuo looked at her ragged clothes and frowned unconsciously: "Stretch out your hand..."

Erya wiped her hands on the clothes, held them together and held them out.Her small hands were as thin as chicken feet, the palms were densely textured and full of calluses, but luckily they looked clean.

Shen Cuo was about to put the sugar cake in her hand when suddenly he frowned and said coldly, "What's your name?"

The little girl was obviously startled by her, she shrugged her shoulders and dared not answer.

Shen Cuo used to be the young master of the religion, and he responded to everyone, so how could he have any patience?It's just that he has been taught and reformed by others in the past six months, but there is still some effect in the end, so he has endured it for the time being.

"I asked you a question, why didn't you answer? Look up..."

How can this questioning posture be the shopkeeper who does business?Clearly more majestic than parents.

"I, my name is Erya..."

This Erya is really not a name, but children from poor families have a low life, and they didn't like to be named when they were young, especially girls.

When the child is older, those who are more particular may get one, and those who are not particular will continue to call like this.

"Erya?" Shen Cuo used to be the most arty, and when he heard this rustic name, he unconsciously put down his face.

But now the people in front of her were not her servants, and she couldn't change their name, so she suppressed the discomfort and continued, "I'll make you look up."

The villagers did not expect that there would be so many things to do with a candy for the opening ceremony, and many people have already given up.

But Erya was riding a tiger, and thinking of her poor brother who was still eagerly waiting for candy, she had no choice but to raise her head.

The little girl was not ugly. Although she was dark and thin with a birthmark, she had delicate features, bright eyes, and she was well-groomed.

Shen Cuo frowned when he saw the big rouge-like birthmark on her thumb in the corner of her eye.

"follow me……"

Erya stared at her blankly, not knowing whether she was surprised by her momentum or appearance.

Shen Cuo took the clothes on her back and carried her into the shop as easily as if he was catching a chicken.

Everyone watched her robbing the little girl in broad daylight, and looked at each other in shock.

"Wow, big sister!" Erya's younger brother, Hu Zi, watched his sister disappear, sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

Erya felt that the sky was spinning, and people had already entered the house somehow.Probably because she was overly frightened, she stared blankly at Shen Cuo, but she didn't cry or make a fuss.

Shen Cuo put the snack box in front of her and asked, "Do you know me?"

Er Ya hurriedly shook her head, showing a frightened look.

Shen Cuo was impatient to deal with the child, and seeing that she didn't know him, he showed an angry look: "How come you don't know me?"

Erya pursed her mouth, as if she wanted to cry, but Shen Cuo stared: "Don't cry..."

The little girl suppressed her crying abruptly, and only looked at her with teary eyes.

The young master of the church is admired by others in the church, and he kills people outside the church. How could he have any compassionate thoughts in the past?

I just don't know if the education of the past six months has really had some effect. Looking at Erya's pitiful little face, she unconsciously lowered her voice.

"Don't cry... eat candy." She twisted a piece of candy cake wrapped in oil paper and put it in Er Ya's hand. Although it was intended to comfort her, it was a pity that her tone was reckless and aggressive, and it was hard not to scare anyone.

Er Ya took the sugar cake with trepidation, although she was terribly afraid, she was very polite and whispered: "Thank you, thank you..."

Shen Cuo likes people who are polite, and is rarely thanked by others, so he feels very comfortable.

"Well...you really don't know me?"

She was happy, so she showed a little bit of the young master's demeanor in the past.

Er Ya slowly shook her head.

She was upset again: "How old are you? Why is your memory so bad?"

"Nine, nine years old..."

"Nine years old?" Shen Cuo looked her up and down, as if he couldn't believe it, "You look at most five or six years old, why are you nine years old? Ben... When I was nine years old, you were taller than two of you."

Shen Cuo has been the young master for more than ten years. Since he was a child, he has rich clothes and fine food, and his food and clothing are comparable to that of a prince and princess. In addition, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his stature is as tall and straight as a bamboo. Naturally, it is not comparable to ordinary people.

Erya lowered her head and whispered, "I, my sister said last year that I was almost nine years old..."

"Your sister? Oh yes, your sister...why don't you eat it?" Shen mistakenly saw that she was holding the pastry carefully in her hand but remained still, and said strangely, "Don't you like candy?"

Erya quickly shook her head: "I, I want to leave it to my younger brother..."

Shen Cuo snorted, and couldn't understand her pettiness.

"It's a big box, can you finish it? Keep whatever you want, and you can eat it."

Erya looked at her in surprise: "Give this, so much to me?"

Shen Cuo waved his hand like chasing flies: "I'll give you everything, I don't like sweets."

"Thank you, sister!" Erya was so grateful that she spoke a lot more smoothly when she was excited.

Shen Cuo has never been called what kind of sister?He looked at her in surprise and uncomfortably.

"Don't call me sister."

Erya obviously didn't get used to her moodiness, and said nervously, "Then what should I call you?"

Shen Cuo frowned, but Shi Jing couldn't think of what to call him.In the past, the congregation called her a saint, the maids called her the young master, her subordinates called her the master, the aunt called her Wuwang, and the mother called her wrong.

But she is no longer the young master now, and this little girl is also different from her servants.

She pondered for a while, and finally said: "You just...call me Shopkeeper Shen."

This is too vulgar.

After Shen Cuo finished speaking, he was disgusted at first, but Erya called out "Master Shen" respectfully.

The little girl's voice was tender and soft, so it was not too difficult to hear.

Shen Cuo said contentedly: "Okay, I can promise you something, if you have any requirements, just ask."

She spoke nonchalantly, how could Erya dare to make any demands, and said weakly: "I, I didn't..."

Shen Cai used to say the same thing, and clearly defined rewards and punishments, but now he was rejected by a little girl, so he was naturally dissatisfied.

"Why didn't you ask for it? I think your family is poor, why don't I give you some money?"

Erya shook her head hastily: "No, no, my sister said that you can't ask for money for no reason... And, and my father will go to gamble after taking the money."

The boss of Shen Cuo was not happy, but the little girl was quite reasonable, so she was not easy to lose her temper.

"It's not for no reason..."

She used to be arrogant and arrogant, but she had tempered her temper in the past two years, but she still found it hard to talk about it, and swallowed it halfway through.

"You really haven't?"

She used to get whatever she wanted, and it was too vulgar to reward her with money.Only today is different from the past, her mother confiscated most of the rare treasures left to her by her father and aunt, and now only some yellow and white things are left.

Er Ya and Shen Cuo talked for a while, and gradually they became less afraid.And because she ate cakes that she had never eaten before, she was treated as a good person.

"No……"

If there is any request, it is that she hopes that her sister will come back.Although Erya is young, she is not ignorant of the world, knowing the seriousness of the matter, how dare she speak out?

Shen Cuo was annoyed and annoyed, and his voice became heavier unconsciously.

"Why not? How could you not ask for it?"

She has a bad temper. In the past, the entire teaching staff would tremble three times when she got angry, but now she has nowhere to vent.

Erya flinched, and looked at her with clear and clear eyes, not feeling too scared.

"Shen, shopkeeper Shen, I just want these pastries."

Shen Cuo became even more angry: "Is this palace master worth these pastries?"
