Chapter 973: What a powerful little lady
The woman's wide-sleeved long skirt sat gracefully under the umbrella cover, and a silk handkerchief in her hand was gently fanned to drive away the sultry heat brought by the autumn sun.
Her every move seems to have infinite charm and all kinds of temptation. Xiao Meng looked at it with a smirk on his face, and only felt that this visit to relatives was really wonderful. Who would have thought that the distant cousin who was just in the way of his parents' affection could unexpectedly get such a beautiful lady as a concubine?
Well, it seems that I will have to take more care of that cousin when I go back. Although she is only a righteous daughter, her righteous daughter is also a daughter, and what people want is not to provide for the elderly.
"What is the husband thinking?" the woman's eyes flowed, and she asked lightly, her voice was like a yellow bird, crisp, and seemed to have the meaning of a hundred turns.
Xiao Meng came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just thought that my cousin gave me a beautiful woman, and I will definitely repay you in the future." β
The woman glanced at him coquettishly, the silk handkerchief was hidden to her lips, and her eyes exposed outside the scarf were bent, as if she was smiling and shy, and obviously her heart was extremely happy. This made Xiao Meng lose his mind again for a while, and he gave his soul and.
"Husbandβ" The woman seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and said softly.
Xiao Meng shuddered, suddenly came back to his senses, and was a little embarrassed. The woman's eyes flickered, and she said casually: "I don't know who is blocking the road on the other side, why did they suddenly set up camp so early?"
Xiao Meng said disapprerovingly: "There must be some origins, the Chang family is not an ordinary family background, and those who can let them treat each other like this have to be the leader of any place." Alas, this has nothing to do with us, so why bother thinking about it? You too, on this hot day, let's stay at my cousin's house for a while, and then set off when the autumn breeze is cold? β
The woman showed a delicate attitude, and said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, it's the slave's fault, you shouldn't be willful, you're tired of your husband." Slaves should not be willful, they are willing to be punished by their husbands......" said as he said, as if tears were about to fall in his eyes.
"Alas, what's the matter, I didn't ......" Xiao Meng stood up in a hurry, and hurriedly explained at a loss.
"I don't blame you, why do you have to be so careful? Am I not afraid that you will not be able to endure the hardships and be tired of you? Okay, okay, as long as you like it, don't say that if you come to this grassland to travel, you will go to the ends of the earth, and I will accompany you. Stretching out his hand to hold the woman's waist, smelling the faint fragrance between his noses, Xiao Meng's heart was about to get drunk, and he muttered bold words.
"You're so good, how fortunate is the concubine. The woman snuggled in the man's arms, her eyes full of joy and love, which made Xiao Meng couldn't help but be a little nervous. It's just that the woman's words next quickly dissipated his charm, and was replaced by all kinds of pity.
ββ¦β¦ The slave was a hard-working person, but fortunately he was taken in by his father-in-law, so he finally had a place to live. Later, he was loved by his husband, and it is said that he has been blessed by not knowing how many generations he has cultivated, and he should be satisfied. It's just that the father and brother in the past finally lost because of this grassland, and they have almost become Yanniang's heart knot, and they always want to come and see......" she said gently, and she was about to shed tears when she saw it.
Xiao Meng panicked, and hurriedly coaxed in every possible way, which made the woman turn into laughter. Finally, he said: "With this experience, the slave's heart is over." When I can go back, I will serve my husband all my life, honor my in-laws, and repay my husband's kindness. β
Xiao Meng was overjoyed, and nodded again and again.
The woman suddenly frowned again, and sighed: "The slave has always been a little apprehensive in the past few days, but I am afraid that such a sudden good day is too good, and I will be jealous." When I met those people today, I was always a little uneasy. God willing, all is well. β
Xiao Meng frowned slightly, then stretched out again, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there are several brothers in the Chang family, and there are so many people together, which thief dares to come?" Are you afraid that you are tired these days, and you think .......of it, well, forget it, don't think about it, everything will be fine, believe me." β
The woman nodded softly, but shook her head lightly and sighed silently.
Xiao Meng was anxious, and was about to say more, but he heard the woman in his arms suddenly sigh, struggling to push him away, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The woman whispered anxiously: "Someone is coming, let go of the slave." β
Xiao Meng was stunned, turned his head to look, and suddenly said happily: "Ha, who should I be, it turned out to be them." Eh, this is a coincidence, just invited them to come and ask, and it will be easy to solve your mind. β
After that, he let go and stood up, ran out two steps quickly, and shouted with his fists in his hands: "The third brother and fourth brother of the Chang family, why don't you come here to sit down, the younger brother has a good collection here." β
It turned out to be the two brothers Chang Xiong and Chang Zhen who were driven out. The two of them sulked in the tent, and when they got permission, they ran out happily, and they were trying to find a reason to play tricks. I discussed all the way, but I suddenly heard someone greeting, and when I looked up, I saw that it was Xiao Meng, and Chang Xiong was overjoyed and said: "Ha, this has a good place to go." Fourth, my bag of good wine is Xiao Meng and mine. β
Chang Zhenyan's eyes also lit up when he heard this, and his throat couldn't help but squirm. The two brothers are both good drinkers, and they are bored at this time, and they have a good collection to listen to, where can they bear it.
"Hahaha, Brother Xiao Meng is really a good friend, that brother is not welcome. Chang Xiong laughed and turned to greet him.
Xiao Meng also smiled: "The third brother shouldn't be polite to the little brother, isn't that an outsider?"
Chang Xiong laughed and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, it's not mine...... Hey, this is ......."
He laughed and walked closer, only to suddenly see the woman under the umbrella, smiled and couldn't help but suffocate, and looked at Xiao Meng suspiciously.
Xiao Meng didn't care, turned his head and glanced at the woman, who had already gotten up and saluted from afar.
"That's the little brother's concubine this time, Yan Niang. The two elder brothers don't have to avoid taboos, they are all their own families. β
Chang Xiong and Chang Zhen hurriedly returned the salute, glanced at each other, and felt a little awkward in their hearts. They are not hindered by the difference between men and women, in this era, when friends reach a certain amount of interaction, they will introduce the back house and family members to meet, which is also a kind of expression of closeness.
Not to mention the existence of a concubine, and even at some point, it is used as an item to entertain guests, and the host family doesn't care about it, and even direct gifts will happen.
Therefore, Chang Xiong and Chang Zhen are awkward, but they feel that the two are far from that kind of friendship, and when they suddenly want to drink, there is an extra woman next to them, which is a little awkward. It's just that seeing Xiao Meng's enthusiasm, he also put aside the awkwardness in an instant, and sat down with peace of mind.
When Xiao Meng called someone to take two jars, uncovered the mud seal, and a fragrant aroma of wine wafted out, the two brothers couldn't care about any woman, they all stared at the wine jar, their throats couldn't help swallowing again and again, and they couldn't wait to stretch out two little hands in their eyes.
Xiao Meng smiled proudly, and Yan Niang got up obediently, picked up the jar, and personally filled the wine cup in front of several people.
Xiao Meng was only proud, and raised his glass to invite him to drink. But he didn't realize that Chang Xiong Chang had a moment of stiffness, and quickly met his eyes, and then he raised his glass and drank it all.
"Xiao Meng, you are Mrs. Ru...... Whose daughter is it?, what did she do?" Putting down the wine cup, Chang Zhen asked with wide eyes.
Chang Xiong next to him frowned, stabbed him, and said unhappily: "Fourth, why are you so reckless? β
Chang Zhen said angrily: "Why am I not tactful? Don't you see that I am asking Xiao Meng, if I am not tactful, I will ask this little lady directly." β
Xiao Meng and Yan Niang listened to it sluggishly, watching the two brothers suddenly quarrel there, and couldn't help but look at each other. Well, the brain circuits of these two are obviously so strange that they can't be measured by common sense at all. The so-called euphemistic explanation can be explained like that, which can be regarded as an eye-opener.
"Eh, two elder brothers, two elder brothers, don't be in a hurry to quarrel...... hearing that the two were still arguing, Xiao Meng shook his head with a wry smile, and hurriedly persuaded him, "...... But I don't know why the fourth brother asked me about this little concubine?"
When Xiao Meng asked this, he felt a little worried in his heart. This beauty herself has just accepted the house, it is the hot time, if the Chang family brothers open their mouths to ask for it, then how can it be good? After all, the concubine has no status at all, and this kind of begging is not considered rude in the interaction of the upper class.
The woman was silent, as if she had a premonition of her misfortune and was indifferent, as if she had accepted her fate. It's just that from an angle that no one can see, no one noticed that in her lowered eyes, a cold killing intent flashed.
"Well, it's nothing. It's just that I'm a little surprised to see how strong she is. Why, but can't you say it?" Chang Zhen said with a rough smile.
Xiao Meng suddenly relaxed. But then he was stunned again, and then he came to his senses, turned his head to look at the concubine who bowed his head and was silent, and then looked at the wine jar, and suddenly hesitated a little in his heart, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the concubine.
This concubine was met by him when he visited his cousin this time, and according to his cousin, he said that he was an adopted daughter. In this era, this kind of adoption is not a strange thing, and he does not take it to heart. At that time, I was just fascinated by the beauty of this beautiful girl, and I didn't ask anything more. After all, this is just a concubine, not a wife, so there is no need to get to the bottom of it. If he hadn't been suddenly asked by Chang Zhen at this time, he really hadn't noticed the abnormality of this little concubine.
Although the wine jar is not big, it always has some weight, and even a man has to have some strength when he holds it and puts it away. But thinking back to Yan Niang's actions just now, there is clearly a kind of lightweight appearance, and this strength is a little outstanding.
At this moment, seeing that Xiao Meng also looked over, Yan Niang finally raised her head slowly, but her face did not move, and she said indifferently: "The slave family was originally born in a hard life, and his family fell in the middle of the road, after his father and brother left, everything could only be done by himself, and it was difficult to survive." After a long time, not to mention only this little weight, even the heavier firewood and grain packets, the slaves have also carried them. Chang Siye is a noble man from a great family, and it is not surprising that he does not know the poverty of lowly people like us. β
She said lightly, when she talked about carrying the firewood and anti-grain bag, it was as ordinary as saying that she had eaten a mouthful of food and drank saliva, but when she stopped in the ears of the Chang brothers and Xiao Meng, she thought of a delicate woman, bending her spine with difficulty, carrying a heavy load and moving forward step by step, and she couldn't help but lose her mind for a while.
Xiao Meng showed pity in his eyes, and reached out to gently hold Yan Niang's jade hand, feeling guilty and pitying in his heart.
Chang Xiong and Chang Zhen looked at each other, and they all looked at each other, all of them were sneering on their black faces, and they were embarrassed. Although they are rough and straightforward, they are rough and detailed, and they understand that this trip is important, and when they encounter suspicious things, of course, they must ask clearly. It's just that she didn't want this little woman to be so angry, so with a few words of understatement, she even explained the suspicions of the two of them without saying anything, and there was no trace of a small counterattack, which made the embarrassment of the two of them almost committed.
What a wonderful little lady! The two brothers had the same thought in their hearts.
