13 I Am Willing (1)
In an ordinary house in Kyoto, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers is everywhere.
It's just an ordinary two-entry house, there are twenty or thirty people in the mother-in-law and maids, and there are a number of small servants in the concierge.
The surrounding neighbors looked at the head of the row, but there was an outer room here that was raised here by a high-ranking official, and the pomp was very big.
It is said that he is as beautiful as a fairy, but his body is weak and he never goes out.
Occasionally, I saw a carriage with a canopy roof coming, and they all went directly to the courtyard from the corner gate, and I never saw who the man in the carriage was.
There are a lot of new things to do in Kyoto, and there are many such outrooms, so it's just a matter of talking about neighbors for a few days. If you dig deeper, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble.
At this time, it was not early, the sun was sinking in the west, and the wind at the beginning of autumn was slightly cool, blowing a shiver from the woman standing at the door of the main room.
The woman is tall, wearing a plain skirt and a cyan trimmed gown, all of which are high-quality Lingnan woven brocades.
If you look at the facial features carefully, it is a pure and cold color, and the brilliance that can't be covered by a trace of melancholy can't be covered.
Such a beauty is the only daughter of the official department who was beheaded before, Xiao Mengqing.
Since that day, a white silk was hung on the beam, and Xiao Mengqing seemed to be alive again.
When she woke up, she forced herself to accept reality as quickly as she could. At this time, she is the outer room that the benefactor placed here. Although she can't enter the house and can't be upright, she is already a dead person to the outside world.
A dead man cares about his name.
Taking a step back, the outer room is always a hundred times stronger than entering the Teaching Workshop Division.
She planned to stay for a while, and when this official was tired of looking at herself, she could give her a household registration for the sake of serving him, and tell her to go away from home, and be content with her incognito and the countryside in this life.
The maid beside her saw her looking at the sinking sunset in a daze, her face was not good, and hurriedly said: "The girl is cold, the slave maid go and get a cloak for the girl." ”
The maids and mothers-in-law are all called "girls", and they still serve her as a lady of Shangshufu, all of them are fine, and they are full of awe.
Xiao Mengqing didn't know that they were not in awe of themselves, but in awe of the person who arranged them here.
Rao is body has been good after a month, but the person has rarely come.
Once in a while, I mostly asked her mother-in-law about her diet, rest, decoction, medicine and supplements, where she went, and other trivial matters. Don't talk to yourself, that is, you don't see yourself much.
Xiao Mengqing couldn't help but touch his face. This face was once widely coveted by the nobles of Kyoto.
How many people are looking forward to her being able to join the teaching workshop, and to spend a night of spring supper with this well-known beauty in Kyoto in that place, and it will be a rich conversation at the wine table and dinner in the coming day.
The maid came over with a soft cigarette cloak and shook it off Xiao Mengqing's shoulder, "It's cold now, if the girl likes to watch the sunset, she might as well wear more." The body is just sharp, don't be infected with the cold. ”
Xiao Mengqing's slender fingers stroked a handful of cloaks, and said with a bow: "Yes, I forgot about it for a while." ”
The maid is called to be Xiao Li, but at the age of sixteen, she is very good at observing words and feelings, "The girl's diet has also decreased a lot recently, but she feels bored in this yard? Xiao Li and the girl go out for a walk? It is also dark around us, we are wearing hats, and we will never let others recognize us." ”
Xiao Mengqing shook her head, "No need, it's good here." ”
With that, he went to Baoxia.
In the past, in Shangshu Mansion, the hugging mansion in her courtyard was changed, and the two sides were surrounded by moon veils. She likes to sit here in the sun on weekdays, drink tea and read books.
Like its own courtyard, the hugging house here is surrounded by high-quality soft yarn, with a small table in the middle and hot tea on the small stove next to it.
Xiaoli walked over quickly, wiped the small table with a handkerchief, and took out the futon from under the small table and set it up.
Xiao Mengqing knelt on the futon and handed over a hot cup of tea in his hand.
"Girl, drink some hot water to warm your hands. Xiao Li said, "The slave maid went to the kitchen just now, and saw that the cook was making poria cakes, can the girl want to enter some?"
Xiao Mengqing said with a smile: "No, I ate too much at noon, and I am not hungry at this time." At night, it is lighter, and I am afraid of accumulating food. ”
Xiao Li fiddled with the small stove and added tea to Xiao Mengqing, "I see that the girl's diet is too little, if the slave eats, I am afraid that the girl will not be full of three servings." No wonder the girl is slender and slender, she is really envious of the slave. ”
Xiao Mengqing knew that this girl was changing her tricks to make herself happy, so she smiled and said: "I only know this time that you persuaded me to eat that shredded chicken soup at noon, didn't you want to feed me fat, the same as you, so you feel better." ”
"Oh, the girl really wronged the slave maid by saying this. The slave was really tired of eating the bird's nest shark fin that the girl had taken a few days ago, so she changed to chicken soup. However, even if the girl is fatter, she will definitely not be as stupid as a slave, and she will be a beautiful fat man at that time. ”
This really made Xiao Mengqing laugh out loud, "You are the fat man." ”
"Yes, the slave is fat. The slave has been fat since she was born, and it is estimated that she will not be able to lose weight in this life. ”
Xiao Mengqing covered her mouth and smiled again, "Don't eat that night, you don't have to eat, lose weight." ”
"If it doesn't work, the slave and maid can't sleep when they're hungry. "Xiao Li is serious.
Xiao Mengqing's hand shook with a smile.
Yang Bai didn't know when he stood on the side of the arch, his arms folded, and he looked at the master and servant with an expressionless face.
Her appearance is so vivid and agile in the afterglow of the setting sun. Her beauty is never just that pair of skins, but the unrestrained and bright under the gentleness and simplicity.
Every time he came before, Xiao Mengqing was very restrained, and he had to think for a long time even when he raised his eyes to look at him.
He had never seen her so lively, and when she smiled, the osmanthus flowers in the garden couldn't suppress the color.
Xiao Li saw Yang Bai first, and the maid who was originally kneeling on the ground immediately got up, and the smile on her face was not contained, so she saluted: "My lord is here." ”
Xiao Mengqing followed Xiao Li's gaze and looked at the arch.
The man with an indigo high collar and plain white sleeves stood there quietly, and he could see that he was in a good mood.
Xiao Mengqing thought about it several times, what it would be like to see Yang Bai again and what to say. Obviously, I planned it very well, but I saw it at this time, but I didn't know what to do.
She put down the teacup in her hand, the corners of her lips pursed the smile that was not withdrawn, slowly got up, and saluted Yang Bai, "My lord." ”
Yang Bai paced slowly here, and his face was still as unwavering as ever.
Seeing that Xiao Mengqing had the idea of bowing his head and refusing to raise it again, he felt a little irritable.
He went straight to Xiao Mengqing's side, reached out and pinched her chin, and forcibly lifted her up.
Xiao Mengqing didn't expect him to be so direct, his face turned white in an instant, and a pair of round cat eyes looked at Yang Bai with a hint of vigilance.
Yang Bai could feel the trembling on her body, and rubbed his thumb back and forth on her chin twice, "Afraid of me, huh?"
Xiao Mengqing's eyes were immediately filled with water vapor, and her voice trembled, "No, I'm not afraid." ”
