Shao Linghang's kiss was out of order, because this was the first time he had done it in twenty-five years.

He had a woman, and after the first time he was thirteen years old, he had an old mother to teach him about sex, and he began to add girls specially adjusted/trained by his mother one after another. But he didn't look at it, the only one who was a hundred sparrows, and he was the one who served as a child, and he only touched her.

He can't talk about love/love for Baique, it's just that he can't restrain his bloody impulse when he was young. If you steal it, you know what it tastes like, and you can't let it go. Later, when he grew up, he understood that after every joy/love, there was a bowl of decoction waiting for Baique to take, and he learned to restrain himself. Then his father died and returned to Nanjing to keep filial piety, the war in the north was about to break out, he went away for many years, and returned home briefly in the middle, and Baique had been kicked out of the house by the old lady.

He had asked someone to find out the whereabouts of Baique, and he had a look at the village where she lived. She already had two children, and she lived a quiet life, so he didn't bother anymore.

Women have always been nothing essential to him, and patience and restraint are virtues that he has cultivated since his youth. You can take your favorite things and embezzle them, but you can't use them for women, because it's about morality and respect.

Occasionally, soldiers could be heard around the fire saying things that were not taboo, mentioning their mothers-in-law or the young girls in the village. He listened too, interjecting from time to time, but he didn't feel much physically. There are also times when I can't help it, or soak in cold water, or let my fingers be affected, and my desire/desire will dissipate.

Later, the war finally ended, and he entered the palace to return the military talisman, and the emperor wanted to point out to him the little county lord of the emperor's younger brother King Ning. His excuse at that time was that "the person who came back from earning his life on the battlefield is full of anger". King Ning loved the little county lord the most, and immediately blocked it with his young age. The emperor did not insist, and the matter was revealed.

However, the emperor is easy to dismiss, but the old lady is sad. He is twenty-five, and if he does not marry his own son, it is unfilial to his ancestors.

He understood this, but he resisted it physically and mentally. Most of the soldiers who came back from the north were happy in time, because they had seen too many dead people, and if they didn't have it, they would have no more. He is different, after seeing the wind and waves, he feels that only by grasping the best can this life be in vain. So in the face of his parents' orders, he hid in the old house in Nanjing.

I never thought that I would meet my destiny like this.

Su Ke was his destiny.

When he got her, he knew what it meant to have infinite desires and eat the marrow. But he couldn't get her, so he realized that he couldn't ask for it, and he couldn't give it up. From her, he had the joy of obtaining treasures, but also the disappointment of overhope, understood what it was to miss, and also understood that in front of his beloved woman, it was futile to resist and restrain himself.

He stopped struggling, stopped fearlessly resisting, and went along with his inner feelings, on this moonlit and starry night, he just wanted to have her.

He admits that he has never kissed anyone, even the last time he had a spring with her, he did not kiss her. Therefore, the dignified Hou Ye is not good at lip flap grinding, and he doesn't understand the rules at all. Everything he did was based on impulse and instinct, hoping that she would understand his pain and appreciate his sincerity; Hopefully she doesn't get sick of his arrogance, because he just wants to hide his nervousness and overwhelm.

But Su Ke felt that his kiss was really not a kiss, but more like a bite.

When he collapsed, her heart stopped beating. As the warm lips and tongue licked on her lips, a startle trembled from head to toe, and when she remembered to resist, his teeth had begun to grind, and a slight pain instantly swept away all her sanity. There was a hot breath on the cheeks, like a heat wave by the stove, forcing people to open their eyes. His tongue delicately and gently outlined the line of her lips, as if he was painting a hand-me-down, and he couldn't be sloppy in the slightest.

She was drained of her strength by this abrasive kiss, ashamed, frightened, frightened and afraid, she was so suppressed that she couldn't even lift her arms, and how could she push him away to end this kiss.

With the last shred of reason, she recklessly slumped down and tried to slide down the wall.

Where could he let her succeed, the hand around her waist tightened, and he could feel her soft body resisting him, but unfortunately he couldn't use his strength, and the friction caused by breaking free made his body tremble.

He began to become greedy, and his unsatisfied heart was empty and wanted to tear her apart.

At this moment, he had only one thought, hunger.

He tightened his arms and lifted her up, his other hand reaching into her hair to immobilize. The teeth were not light or heavy, biting on her lips, with three points to please and three points to beg for mercy, and the remaining four points were arrogant and impatient, directly pried open her teeth and involved her lilac tongue.

Sweet, soft and glutinous.

With full emptiness and careful speculation, he gradually deepened this kiss.

Su Ke felt dizzy, and before losing consciousness, he finally let go of her lips and tongue, patted her back, and whispered in her ear with a hoarse wheezing voice, "Are you breathing, do you want to suffocate yourself?" ”

Only then did she react, as if she had been forgiven, and took two big sips on the ground, but she felt even more dizzy.

Shao Linghang pressed her head into his arms, and she resisted, but she couldn't withstand his strength. He buried his face in her neck, and whispered between the warm and greasy fragrances, "Su Ke, become my woman." ”

Su Ke was silent for a long time, so long that Shao Linghang thought that she acquiesced because she was shy. But where was she such a woman, and when she finally regained her sanity and strength, the first thing she did was to raise her right hand and touch his face—

A hand full of brown sugar stuffing smeared his face.

"You ......" Shao Linghang let go of Su Ke like a bullet, pressing his hand on his cheek, sticky and greasy to make him grin.

Su Ke looked at him with his neck up, a pair of eyes that reflected the spring water were filled with a lot of moisture, but the gaze projected was straight, and he was already angry, "Is Gongzi a person who goes back on his word!" ”

Shao Linghang wiped his face with his sleeve and glared at her, "I haven't seen you for half a month, and I miss you more and more, so I know my mind, how can it be regarded as a reversal." Besides, you're my person, what's wrong with adding the word 'female'? ”

At this time, he is still in the mood to play poor! Su Ke's face was so angry that he pushed him hard and was about to leave.

But Shao Linghang's eyes were quick, she only took one step to the side, and he fished her back and continued to circle between him and the wall. Only this time she turned her back to him, which made him unbearable. He persuaded softly: "You and I have a night of truth, whether in terms of morality or selfishness, you are my woman." It's just that you are stubborn, and I connived at you, so you follow me like this. Su Ke, if I really take you back to my mansion and hide your golden house, what can you do? ”

"I ......" Su Ke grabbed the wall, his nails were full of dust, but he didn't realize it, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "It's a big deal that a belt hangs in the golden house." ”

Shao Linghang didn't take it seriously, and continued to say softly, "I'm talking stupid things again." Do you think I'll be okay if you're dead? You still have Lao Tzu Niang at home, and your youngest nephew is only two years old, so you are willing to leave them behind? You know, I can displace your family with almost no fingers. You go happily, and you don't care if they live or die? ”

"You're this kind of person, I'm really wrong about you!" Su can say the most angry words in the lowest voice, and after speaking, he bites his lip vigorously, as if he can only express the anger in his heart with pain.

Shao Linghang smiled, "Su Ke, I'm not that kind of person, otherwise I wouldn't have come over tonight." I'm not going to persecute you, but I'm going to have to let you know what I want. It may not have been clear before, but now, I can tell you with great certainty and sincerity that I have put you on my heart. I want you, Suke. ”

He was very serious, but fortunately she had her back to him, so he could be so serious. She wouldn't see that his lips were trembling with nervousness, and although he said it in a dignified manner, his heart was up and down, for fear that she would struggle to escape and not listen to him.

Fortunately, the hardest step has been taken.

Shao Linghang didn't get a reply for a long time, he leaned closer, his chin just touched the top of her head, tapped it, and then lowered his face and kissed her hair bun, "Su Ke, I won't force you, but you have to think about this matter carefully." ”

Su Ke's shoulders trembled, firstly, she wore less, and secondly, her heart was also cold. She shuddered, and her voice trembled a little, "I said earlier, I don't want to be a concubine." ”

Shao Linghang's heart sank, "Su Ke, except for the status of his wife, I can give you anything." Your father, mother, brother and sister-in-law will be well accommodated, and if you want to be in charge of the house, I can hand over the entire mansion to you. I can even promise that I won't have a second woman in my heart. ”

He grabbed her shoulders and forced her to turn, looking at her biting white lips, and brushing her lips in distress, but she avoided them.

He was not annoyed, he bent his knees to look at her at eye level, and looked at her sincerely, "Ke'er, you are a smart woman, you understand my difficulties. I have a family business to inherit, not because I look down on your background, but because I have to marry a woman who is a good family for the sake of my family business. Don't ask me about this, I can promise you anything but this. ”

Su Ke glared at him and replied coldly, "I'm not worthy of Childe's so." ”

"You're worth it. In my heart, you are worth it. Shao Linghang was a little scoundrel, and when he realized this, he simply became even more scoundrel, squinted his eyes and asked her, "Are you still thinking about Liang Jincheng?" ”

Su Ke rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, trying to avoid his control in vain, and roared with a frowning face, "Let me go." ”

Shao Linghang grabbed her shoulders, "Promise me to think about this matter carefully, and I'll let you go." ”

"I don't even want to tell you about it, do you think I'll think about it?" Su Ke was decisive.

For Shao Linghang, this sentence is too heavy. She can speak ill of each other and be furious, but she can't treat him coldly. She can not take him to heart, but she can't close the door in front of him and give no chance at all. At this moment, he really wanted to pick her up and go back to the room and force her to comply. But if he did, he would only lose her completely.

He suddenly understood.

"I won't touch you again without your permission in the future." Shao Linghang glanced at her lips intentionally or unintentionally, and the blood return after whitening made her lips bright red, which was really seductive. But he had to be patient, and cast a reassuring glance at her earnestly.

Su Ke's heart was forced to feel a little sour by his words.

Whether she is proud of herself or Naqiao, she is indeed struggling for this self-esteem.

Why did he sneak here on this dark and windy night? Why did you stop her in the corner and take advantage of her to show her intentions? What is he when she is, a woman who is always waiting for his blessing? Why did she have to accept his heart? Just because he is nobler than her, richer and more powerful than her, he is a man and she is a woman, and her body is given to him, so now that he is willing to move his heart for her, she must be grateful to Dade for holding her heart over.

Why?

She has only known him for three months, and the number of times she has met is only a handful, where did he come from? Now it's his favorite, but it's just a good thing he can't get. If she obeys, the flowers will not be red for a hundred days, and then she will become his disgust. He can force her, force her, but he can't make her give her heart. The relationship between them was predestined from the beginning, and it was never possible to be equal, and it was impossible to talk about sincerity.

Even if he swears, she can't afford such feelings.

"Let me go back." Su Ke repeated these four words weakly.

Shao Linghang said in a deep voice, "Promise me, go back and think about it." Seeing the slightest emotion in her twinkling eyes, his heart calmed and he slipped his hand off her shoulder.

Su Ke didn't look at him again, walked out of the darkness, turned around, entered the house, plugged in, and did it in one go. She leaned against the door to look at her dirty hands, thinking about what he had just said, thinking about the kiss he had just given.

Things got to this point, what was she going to do?

……

Shao Linghang didn't leave until Su Ke turned off the lights, and at that time the sky was already white, and the maid and mother-in-law of the Fu family were about to get up. He carefully climbed over the wall and crossed the door to return to Hefeng Zhai, and when he entered the house, he saw his mother Sun who had been waiting for him all night.

Mother Sun shook her head hatefully, "Why can't you hold back your temperament like this?" Are you going to treat her well, or are you going to get rid of your thoughts as soon as possible? ”

Shao Linghang sat down in the circle chair dejectedly and buried his face in the palm of his hand, "Mom, I may not be able to get her heart." ”

Mother Sun was angry, "You are so anxious, no girl can give her heart to you." The first time you can say that you are drunk and promiscuous, you can also attribute the fault to the inexplicable red soup. What about this time? Did you drink alcohol or take ** pills? In vain, I went around to think of a plan for you. It's just a whim idea with you, and I'm so disappointed. ”

"Mom, you're underestimating me too much." Shao Linghang heard the meaning of Mother Sun's words, and explained helplessly, "I just talked to her, a little deviant, but it didn't have what my mother thought." I still have this bit of control. ”

When Mother Sun heard this, she calmed down a little. There are some things that women think more than men. Men may feel that something is inappropriate, and women will be chaste and fierce. It's not like you can have two times if you have one.

However, Shao Linghang sighed, and inexplicably remembered Liang Jincheng's words. My brain was dizzy, and I muttered for a while, "Actually, it's better to come directly with a knife and a gun, maybe she won't be able to leave me after three or five times." ”

"Where's the bastard talk?" Mother Sun wrung a wet handkerchief to wipe his face, and when she heard him talk nonsense, she was so angry that she directly covered his face with the handkerchief, "After four years in the military camp, and then went down to Qin Huai, your mouth is really getting more and more unguarded." If the old marquis is alive, he won't pick up your skin. ”

Shao Linghang was stunned, and silently washed his face and changed his clothes, it was not too early, and he still had to go to court.

……

The emperor and the old lady are the same age, and they are already fifty-five this year, and their spirits have become more and more poor in the past two years, and many things have been entrusted to the prince to assist. The crown prince was born to the first queen, and he was the choice of the East Palace from the day he landed. It's just that the prince is not good, although he is about to be established, but his qualifications are limited but he is pinned on high hopes, he has done few things in the past two years, and there are many things that have been criticized, and the emperor and the prince are not comfortable.

The prince of the early dynasty had a dispute with the Ministry of Industry because of the water conservancy matter, and the emperor had a bad face and dispersed early.

Shao Linghang came out of Fengtian Palace, and after getting off the platform, he didn't walk a few steps before he saw King Jing and Liang Jincheng talking at the other end of the palace gate.

Speaking of King Jing, he is the fifth son of the emperor, and his biological mother is the late Emperor Tong's concubine. At that time, the emperor was the emperor, and there were two main masters to choose from when he got married. One is the eldest daughter of Li Guangye, the priest of the country, and the other is the niece of the Queen Mother, Tong. Because the queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother, it is difficult to interfere in many things, and finally the cabinet is in charge, and the emperor personally determines the Li family as the queen and the Tong family as the concubine. But these two did not live long, Li died of illness when the prince was five years old, and seven years later, Tong gave birth to King Jing, King Jing lived, and Tong went.

Now King Jing is eighteen years old, divided into Qingzhou, and just set the daughter of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Shen as the concubine after the year, just waiting for the wedding in the Ten Kings Mansion next year to be the domain.

Shao Linghang, King Jing and Liang Jincheng are not small according to grades, but they are quite friendly. He Shi Shiran leaned over, and Liang Jincheng turned his hand behind him, so he didn't find it. King Jing looked at him approaching, and there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, but after listening to Liang Jincheng's question, his face was as white as paper.

Liang Jincheng asked: "The palace maid who cried and begged you for mercy in the mezzanine back then, is it called Love?" ”

Because Shao Linghang is not an outsider, King Jing's eyes were slightly condensed, and he had no scruples, and said bluntly: "Why did you suddenly mention her?" ”

Liang Jincheng didn't find Shao Linghang behind him, and only cared about King Nahan, "This world is really small, that palace maid named Luo Fu has a good sister, who was originally the secretary of the Shang Palace Bureau, and was sent out when he laid off people last year." I met her the other time, and she took Love to me and questioned me, but I don't remember. I suddenly remembered you last night, it seems to be this palace maid. Is there any misunderstanding here, look at the expression on her face when she asked me, it scared me enough. ”

"Do you recognize Suke?" King Jing's already pale face instantly turned a little whiter because of this unbelievable fact.

But as soon as his words fell, Shao Linghang and Liang Jincheng asked him almost at the same time: "Do you also recognize Su Ke?" ”

Therefore, this world is really pitifully small.

Liang Jincheng was startled by Shao Linghang's sudden voice, turned to glare at him, and immediately picked up the style of "big brother", and shouted at Shao Linghang in front of King Jing, "You are sincerely scaring people, are you energetic?" ”

Shao Linghang didn't bother to pay attention to this person who didn't count, and only stared at King Jing and asked, "The prince also knows Su Keqi?" ”

King Jing was a little confused, his eyes swept back and forth on the faces of the two people in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel depressed, "Quickly make the words clear to this king." ”

Liang Jincheng is waiting for this opportunity, it is always bad to chew people's tongues behind his back, but to say it in front of others is to state the facts. He did his best to add fuel and vinegar, and explained how Shao Linghang met Su Ke in Qin Huai, how he concealed his identity, and deceitfully abducted Su Ke to the Hou Mansion as an errand, and now he said it clearly and clearly with him, and he didn't save Shao Linghang face at all.

Fortunately, King Jing was trapped in his own troubles and couldn't get out, and after hearing this whole thing, he was not in the mood to make fun of Shao Linghang, but solemnly said "treat her well", and then left with people stepping up.

Shao Linghang was blown up by this sentence, his fists were clenched, and his body exuded anger.

Liang Jincheng saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly jumped, and when he turned to Dongyi Long Street, he remembered that Love's matter and didn't ask why, "Hey, King Jing is walking fast, and the matter is not finished yet." Where is this Love? ”

And here, Shao Linghang came out of the palace and went directly to the Governor's Mansion, and he was not happy to see anyone, so he stayed up for a day in the martial arts training ground, and after he got off duty, he asked Sun Mama to come over.

Mother Sun was chatting with the old lady's Wushuang about family life, and was called away by the little girl who sent her, thinking that something had happened to Shao Linghang. After listening to the retelling that was not very bright, I couldn't help but start complaining again, "She was originally the secretary of the sixth grade in the palace, and she naturally has a lot of knowledge." What's so strange about knowing King Jing, I'm afraid that she has said a lot to the emperor, and you are so angry? I advise you to be steady, and don't pass these days for now, lest you don't know how serious things will happen. ”

Shao Linghang was still anxious and couldn't calm down, "Mom, she pops up with someone she knows every few days, what can I do with her?" I can't wait, I want her, now, now, right now.

"Again, it's a nonsense." Mother Sun really wanted to beat him with a stick, "If you are in such a hurry, run over and tell her about your identity now, whether she wants to or not, I will go to the old lady tomorrow to mention it, and I can let you carry her in a small sedan chair at night." ”

Shao Linghang's violent temper was jumping back and forth in his internal organs, and he was furious. But he also understands that Mama Sun's words are all backwords and must not be done. But he was too anxious, he was really worried that he would jump out of the roadblock again, a Liang Jincheng was already such a headache, if there was another king to respect......

"Who's Love?" He suddenly remembered the crux of the matter when he said things in the morning.

Mother Sun shook her head, "What does it mean in obedience, about the palace maid in the palace?" I can't find out about this, you have to ask someone to go to the palace to inquire. ”

Shao Linghang nodded uncertainly, he really didn't know how much more he had to worry about Su Ke. She was probably the most difficult woman he had ever met, harder to grasp than the clouds on the horizon. He has never believed in ghosts and gods, and he wants to go to the Bodhisattva to worship and bless him to get her as much as possible. He wanted him to endure these anger changes and get them back from her, five years, ten years, and a lifetime.

"Send her to the old lady as much as possible." He couldn't wait.

Mother Sun sighed, "Then don't go over these two days, calm down." ”

If you ask someone to do something, you have to be low, Shao Linghang gritted his teeth and responded, and recorded all these sins in the account book in his heart. Sooner or later, I will have to pay it back.

……

Su Ke rested at Fu's house for two more days, applying medicinal oil eight times a day, and when he got up in the morning on the third day, he didn't feel any pain if he didn't stomp his feet hard.

So he decided to change his clothes to go to the upper value.

She urgently needs something to distract herself, she has an abacus to accompany her at night, but she can only think about things during the day. The so-called predecessors planted trees and later people enjoyed the shade, but some people just did things, and let her bear the consequences. He told her to think about it, but she didn't want to think about it yet.

The Fury family didn't know why she was like this, and she walked as slowly as an old woman, but she still gritted her teeth to go to the warehouse.

"Why are you so troubled, the treasury is not an easy job, run back and forth and be careful of aggravated foot injuries." The good students of the Furui family persuaded him, but he also knew that Su Ke was a stubborn donkey. After saying a few disobedient words, she also rested, turned around and helped Su Ke to the warehouse.

It was only when the warehouse came here that Su Ke knew that something had happened in the past few days.

Wang Guijia's face showed a smile, and Su Ke happened to come early, so he pulled her to a secluded place in the warehouse, and said aggrievedly: "Oh, my girl, I was just thinking about going to see the girl today, but it happened that the girl came." As she spoke, she looked left and right, and came closer: "Girl, this treasury sent a daughter-in-law yesterday, named Liu Wuniang." Originally, the old lady was in charge of the treasury, and said that she heard that the girl had a hand in tidying up the warehouse, so she came to learn art. Since yesterday, I have been busy in the warehouse, looking at how the shelves are placed and how things are classified. ”

Su Ke looked at her nervous appearance, and couldn't help teasing: "It's not a day or two since Mother Dong looked at me unpleasantly, and my mother doesn't know about this?" There is no shortage of this one and a half people at this time. ”

Wang Guigui's family knew that Su Ke was still worried about her broken mouth, but the fault was indeed her, so she had to laugh and ignore it. But looking at Su Ke, he didn't take it seriously, so he couldn't help but remind, "Girl, don't underestimate this Liu Wuniang." At the end of the day yesterday, all the work she did was done by the girl before. I don't know why, but be careful not to be robbed of her job. ”

Saying this, Su Ke poured out a bad premonition.

There are rules in this Hou Mansion, three, six, nine and other equals are clearly divided, and everyone has a waist card. Except for the top butler and the first-class girl in the Hou Mansion row, the waist cards are made of jade, and the waist cards of the rest of the people are all wooden cards that are more than two inches long. The front of the second class is painted with red paint, and the third class is painted with green paint. Not serving in front of the master, the wooden sign of the steward who is in charge of all matters in the house is painted with yellow paint, and the second class is painted with blue paint, and the rough and ungraded one is just a wooden card.

Like Su Ke, now he is hanging a wooden sign painted with blue paint. And Liu Wuniang, as the old lady's person in charge of the treasury, has yellow paint painted on her waist card. This is on an equal footing with Dong's mother.

Then the problem comes, it is reasonable for Liu Wuniang to take the position of Dong's mother, and it is completely unreasonable to take Su Ke's position. I've never heard of job hopping getting lower and lower. If you are demoted, you shouldn't be so swaggering.

"Maybe it's not necessarily that you're here to learn art, so you can't change it." Su Ke couldn't figure it out, so he had to press this matter.

Wang Guigui's family wanted to say more, but Su Ke's expression was dazed, and the blue color under her eyes was also very obvious, so she couldn't help worrying about her body. Thinking that it might be that he didn't recuperate, he couldn't raise the energy to fight with others. So he said with concern: "The girl's complexion is not very good, the sky has changed in the past few days, but you have to be careful." I didn't have to fight myself, but I gave it to others. ”

Su Ke nodded and didn't say anything more, seeing that it was not early, he and Wang Guigui's family went back one after another.

Dong's mother and Liu Wuniang were standing in the courtyard talking.

Liu Wuniang looks like she is twenty-six or seven, with a moderate figure, wearing a lilac-colored plain gown, her hair is oily and slippery in a round bun, and there is no broken hair, which looks particularly capable. She turned around when she heard the sound, and saw a round face, with beautiful features, but no features. There is only a pair of willow eyebrows, which are so black that they seem to have been painted with ink.

Seeing Su Ke, she ran straight to her with a smile, and when she raised her hand, she grabbed Su Ke's hand and patted it, "Oh, this is Miss Su, what a Peugeot person." I was there for the old lady to look at the storeroom, and I was very clumsy with my hands and feet, and I don't know how many times the old lady counted me down. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I simply sent me over, in order to learn the doorway in this storehouse with the girl. ”

The excessive intimacy made people subconsciously want to push back, the two were obviously meeting for the first time, and Liu Wuniang was so boastful, which made Su Ke feel a little awkward.

"Sister-in-law Liu is serious." Su Ke withdrew his hand, took a step away from Liu Wuniang at the right time, and said: "The old lady is surrounded by capable people, and I have only been in the warehouse for a long time, but I am just sorting things out according to my own heart." If you want to talk about the doorway in the warehouse, I am still far away, and it is all taught by Dong's mother. ”

Mother Dong originally looked sour, but when she heard Su Ke mention herself, she immediately squeezed out a smile and waved her hand: "Miss Su is a capable person." I thought the girl would have to rest for a few more days, but I didn't think that I would come today. It can be seen that he is thinking about the work of the treasury. ”

This meaning can't help but make people think crookedly, as if she Su Ke came to work in a hurry because of Liu Wuniang's arrival.

Su Ke sighed secretly, it has been seven days since he rested, why is Dong's mother's temper still rushing like this. But there are many things in this world that cannot be forced, and there are people who appreciate you, and there are people who can't get used to you. Even gods and Buddhas are not liked by mortals, not to mention that she is an ordinary person, and it is impossible for everyone to like her.

"I can't wait to be lazy, but it's a hard life, and my feet don't hurt at all after three or two pairs of medicine. If you can't stay, you should come to work to be more comfortable. "Sue Keda haha. But after saying that, looking at Dong's mother's face again, it seemed to be a little colder.

Su Ke thought about it, did this mean to show off the Hou Ye to ask the imperial doctor to see her illness?

Alas, if you think about it too much, you can distort anything.

Liu Wuniang on the side hurriedly answered, "Oh, I understand this matter." People who love to work by nature just can't be idle for a moment. ”

Su Ke glanced at Liu Wuniang, only smiled and said nothing, and didn't dare to have too much deep friendship with her. Without knowing where the other party came from, rashly establishing a relationship will only fold yourself in. This principle is applicable both inside and outside the palace.

After a while, the sun began to fight, and people began to come to collect things one after another. Liu Wuniang never left Su Ke an inch, watching how she assigned and how she supported, and boasted from time to time. Su Ke endured the pain in his feet on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to deal with Liu Wuniang, and his impatience had reached the stage where he couldn't stand it.

At this time, two minutes later, the third wife sent someone to call Dong's mother away, and when she came back, she brought bad news.

"The third lady got up early to go to the old lady to say goodbye, and the old lady suddenly asked about the storeroom." Mother Dong's face was pale, and she glanced at Liu Wuniang, and the meaning was quite obvious, "What the old lady means is that the treasury is now overstaffed, and two of them will be sent elsewhere." The remaining four rough mothers-in-law were divided into two shifts, two on duty during the day and two at night. ”

Except for Liu Wuniang's uncontrollable smile, the others, including Su Ke, all showed surprise.

When everyone came back to their senses in a hurry, they naturally saw the clue from Dong's mother's words - Liu Wuniang is the old lady's person, and just a day after coming to the warehouse, the old lady began to lay off people in the warehouse. The old lady was "instigated" by whom, so naturally there was no need to worry too much.

Of course, Dong's mother did mean something when she said this, in order to choose the third wife from this. The two people who were laid off don't complain about the third wife, if you want to complain, you can complain about the old lady and Liu Wuniang.

However, Dong's mother was also ruthless, after she finished stating the incident, she looked embarrassed, and then took Su Ke's hand for the first time.

Su Ke chuckled in his heart, but it was not good. I heard Dong's mother say: "Since the above is going to be cut, we can't disobey." Fortunately, you don't have to leave, otherwise this mess wouldn't be messed up. However, it is up to you to decide who will go and who will stay and how these people will be assigned. After all, it's you who use them directly. I'm the only one you can do. In this way, weigh it up and report it to me tomorrow morning. ”

Su Ke wanted to cry without tears. entrusted her with such an offending matter, and she was used as a target inside and out.

What could be done, people had to bow their heads under the eaves. The target is already standing, and the flying dart has to follow. Who told her to come to the top today.

Su Ke looked at the six mothers-in-law and smiled at them helplessly, "Don't panic, calm down and sum up, it's not necessarily good to stay, and it's not necessarily a bad thing to leave." It's not too early, I'll come back to you after lunch. ”

The six mothers-in-law were thoughtful in all aspects, and even Wang Guigui's family also showed a little apprehension.

Su Ke didn't see it, and after grinding in the warehouse until noon, he simply pulled Liu Wuniang to eat first.

Liu Wuniang was very happy, seeing that there was no one around, she said to Su Ke as she walked, "The girl also thinks that I and the old lady secretly instigated it?" ”

Su Ke glanced at her quietly, and smiled meaningfully, "Instigation? Sister-in-law Liu, don't be presumptuous. Looking at this matter carefully, it really has nothing to do with Sister-in-law Liu. If the old lady didn't have the mind to lay people in the treasury, Sister-in-law Liu said that no matter how much she had, she would only be able to lift a stone and shoot herself in the foot. If the old lady had this heart for a long time and deliberately sent Sister-in-law Liu to find out, then Sister-in-law Liu would be a reply, and it would not be related to instigation. Could it be that the old lady still kept her mouth shut when she asked? ”

Do Tai Chi, who wouldn't. After Su Ke finished speaking, he smiled more and more sympatheticly.

Liu Wuniang hurriedly sighed twice, "Sure enough, the girl is a crystal-hearted person who understands, but she knows my suffering." Looking at the way Steward Dong spoke just now, the six mothers-in-law must hate me now. But I was also ordered to do things, and I couldn't help myself. But I'm relieved if there's a girl, and there are still people who know my difficulties. ”

"Now my sister-in-law's difficulties are understood, but no one has complained about my difficulties." Su Ke sighed faintly, his eyes watching Liu Wuniang's every move.

Liu Wuniang came to the conclusion that she glanced at the corners of her mouth and said indifferently, "Which person in charge has not laid off people, this is just a workout." Leave its essence to its dross, and then manage talents well. ”

Su Ke remained silent, but his chest couldn't help but tighten.

In the future, talents are well managed...... Generations ...... Who's coming?

……

After having lunch in a hurry, Dong's mother had to give up her usual afternoon nap because Liu Wuniang was here, and she was listless in the Taishi chair behind the big bookcase, and her eyelids fought. Su Ke sat under the porch, Liu Wuniang stood aside leaning on the railing, and called the six mothers-in-law one by one.

Wang Guigui's family was the first to express his heart, "Girl, I have been in the treasury for the longest time, and I am familiar with all parts of the treasury. Later, when I was tidying up the warehouse, I didn't leave the girl an inch, and I knew what to put there. The girl left me, and I will do my best to work for the girl in the future. ”

Su Ke nodded, because she had already guessed that she would say this, so she just said "I know" and let her go.

The second one came was Erzhu Niang, who was in her early forties, thin in stature, and her face was a little sallow. "My family is old and young, and the men are not useful, so the family lives on my monthly silver. The girl took pity on me, and did not let me go. ”

Su Ke didn't have a deep impression of Erzhu Niang, but he remembered that her eyes were always rolling around. As soon as she said this, Su Ke had some bottom in her heart, and just wanted to let her go, but Liu Wuniang pulled Su Ke's sleeve.

Liu Wuniang leaned over a little and asked Erzhu Niang, "If you are asked to be on duty at night, will you be willing?" ”

When he asked this, Su Kedeng turned around, "This is also what I want to ask, you can just answer." ”

Erzhu Niang twisted her body and said in embarrassment: "My little grandson has only been on the ground for more than six months, and it is the time when there is no one to take care of him. My daughter-in-law there is a useless one, and the whole family has to rely on me. I was on duty all night, and my family didn't care. My child cries during the day, and how can I sleep? She quibbled weakly, "I'm mainly afraid of delaying the night duty." ”

Su Ke turned his face sideways and glanced at Liu Wuniang tacitly, although they didn't say anything, they both understood what the other was thinking.

"I know the situation of your family, let's go over first, let me think about it."

Erzhu Niang pursed her mouth into a dead slit, and there was some anger in her eyes, but because Liu Wuniang was here, she could only suppress it, as if she still had thousands of words to say, but they were all secrets and couldn't be said. Because Liu Wuniang is an outsider. She was very angry, blessed her body angrily, and got up and went back to the mother-in-law.

Su Ke saw her walking three steps at a time, shook her head with a smile, looked up at Liu Wuniang and said, "I have discovered the benefits of Sister-in-law Liu until now." My sister-in-law is here to stop and live as a touchstone. ”

Otherwise, she really didn't know much about the details of the six mothers-in-law and their attitude towards her. Now that she thought about it, she was very grateful to the old lady for taking this initiative.

Knowing and employing people is a necessary ability to manage things.

Liu Wuniang didn't care, leaned on the railing, frowned, and said: "The girl's words annoy me, why did you only find out my benefits now, and you didn't notice it when you were in the big kitchen?" Our dishes were all taken from the old lady's stove. ”

"No wonder it's so delicious, it's stained with Sister-in-law Liu's light." Su Kefu was very attentive and did not dwell too much on this matter.

The next one to come is Zhang Cai's family, forty-five or sixteen years old, with a melon seed face, but a fat figure. On weekdays, I am very good with Wang Guigui's family, and I do my work and take things in one place.

Zhang Cai's family was blessed, and said: "My sister-in-law and I came to the treasury with our front and back feet, because my daughter was doing needlework in the eldest lady's house, and when the third lady heard about this errand, she begged me, and I came." Now that I've been working for four or five years, I'm familiar with everything, and I have the strength to do it, and the girl left me behind, so I can be called by two people. ”

Su Ke was noncommittal to her remarks, and only asked her: "If you are asked to be on duty at night, are you willing?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Caijia twisted for a while, and said: "If the girl insists on letting me be on duty at night, I am not impossible, but I am afraid that my daughter will not be happy." She always has to talk to me before she goes to bed. ”

Su Ke was embarrassed, pushed her hand, and asked her to go back first.

Liu Wuniang on the side snorted and laughed, which made Su Ke feel embarrassed. There are a total of six mothers-in-law, and the first three are so unface-free, which makes her little steward very faceless.

However, the next mother-in-law finally let Su Ke breathe a sigh of relief.

Mother-in-law said directly: "If I can, I want to be on duty all night." ”

Su Ke was stunned, "What's the matter, you are not young anymore, you are not idle at night, and it hurts your body." ”

Mother-in-law raised her eyes and looked at Liu Wuniang, then swept her gaze to Su Ke, and said in a sullen voice: "My son is now working for Hou Ye and the horse, he is always hungry, if I am not on duty during the day, I can cook for him at home." ”

She didn't say it, Su Ke still forgot about this stubble.

Before, the mother-in-law pulled her to intercede and wanted to change his son's errand. She only mentioned this matter to Fury once, or after the quarrel with Zhou Gongzi over hot pot. I didn't have any hope, and I didn't see my mother-in-law come to thank her, so I always thought that this thing didn't work out. It turns out that it has changed from wiping the car to following the horse.

The work of following the horse is actually very tiring, the master rides the horse in front, and they follow at a trot behind. When the master arrives at the ground, they are responsible for leading the horse and feeding them, waiting carefully, when the master comes out, and when he will continue to run.

Tired is tired, but he can show his face in front of his master. Show your face and you have a chance to improve.

"How old is your son?" Su Ke asked.

"The eldest son has already married a family, and the younger son is fifteen this year." Mother-in-law replied in a whisper.

Su Ke nodded. Fifteen-year-old boys are when they can eat, and Su Keniang always said, "Sooner or later, this family will be eaten poor by your brothers." So as soon as the mother-in-law said this, Su Ke understood. Simply asked: "Then you have to cook for your family during the day, where do you have time to sleep, and what should you do if you are sleepy at night?" ”

Mother-in-law thought for a moment and replied seriously: "I won't sleep after I get off duty, and I'll cook at home." My son can be hot when he comes back at noon. In the evening, the eldest daughter-in-law can cook. I still have the kung fu to sleep during the day. ”

Since he had a reasonable plan, Su Ke didn't say anything anymore, nodded and let his mother-in-law go down.

The next came to Xu Wang's family, she was the youngest, only thirty-six this year. People are very refreshing, people are a little fat, I don't know if it's a relationship with confidence, and the voice is especially loud.

She stopped in front of Su Ke, and Lili Suo was happy, "I'm a child of the family, I can do anything, I can do it if I stay here, and I can do it elsewhere." Even if I am on duty, I can stay up all night. ”

Su Ke likes such straightforward people very much, understands his position, and knows what he should do. When encountering things, I want to calm myself and try to look forward, instead of blindly shirking it. In a few simple sentences, it is much stronger to express the advantages than to blindly say that you are in trouble and involved in the background relationship.

The last one to come was Mrs. Cai, in her early forties, well-proportioned and fair-skinned. Because she reported her home early, Su Ke knew her age, otherwise she would really think that she was only thirty-five or sixteen. Her man is a craftsman in the flower house in the house, and the two have no children so far. When asked if she would like to be on duty all night, her answer was the most to the point.

"I want to ask the girl, if you are on night, will these two be on duty all the time, or will they rotate with the other two? Is there a subsidy on the wages of the night watchman? Can I have an extra meal in the evening? ”

Su Ke was stunned by the question, and then he was a little flustered.

Because she suddenly realized that she hadn't thought about what Mrs. Cai asked from the beginning. She was only thinking about who to leave and who to lay, and to look at them as a superior to see if they could keep them for her own use, but she did not think about their interests. This makes them resign themselves to working for her.

"What if there's neither rotation nor subsidy?" Liu Wuniang saw that Su Ke hadn't answered, so she asked out to help.

Su Ke came back to his senses and nodded at Mrs. Cai.

Cai Pozi licked her lips and replied: "Then there are two people on duty at night, can you divide the first half of the night and the second half of the night on duty?" ”

Su Ke recalled that when he was in the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids on duty at night seemed to be all night. And the girls and mothers-in-law who are arranged to be on duty at night at these big families are also all night. It's the first time I've heard of it in the middle of the night. But I have to say that the two mothers-in-law in the treasury are on duty at night, which is nothing more than a companion. If you really encounter a bad guy entering the door, ten mothers-in-law will not be useful.

But if you divide the middle of the night, will your spirit be much better?

"I understand what you mean, but I haven't thought about it yet, and I can't make a judgment until I discuss it with Dong's mother." Su Ke generously admitted his mistakes, but he was also glad to have such a subordinate who knew how to benefit himself.

Cai Pozifu returned to those mothers-in-law after him.

Su Ke watched them stand in a pile from afar, or turn their heads to each other, or look embarrassed, or be silent. There are only six people, but they show the faces of all beings. She suddenly wondered, if she was to change their position, what would she say and how to make her stand out?

"Who is the girl going to lay?" Liu Wuniang slid on the railing and sat next to Su Ke, "Does the girl already have a number in her heart?" ”

Su Ke did have a number, but he didn't want to tell her everything he thought in his heart.

But Liu Wuniang had her own excuses and reasons, took out a handkerchief and came out to cover the corners of her mouth, and her voice was very low, "You might as well tell Miss Sù, I have to go back to the old lady sooner or later, and I don't care at all if I have a bad reputation in the treasury of Gongzhong." In front of these mothers-in-law, the girl and I talked about the length and short, and who the girl laid off, those people would think that I instigated the girl, and the girl would at most have a soft ear, but she would not complain too much. ”

When Su Ke heard this, he couldn't help but feel funny. Liu Wuniang stood here for a long time, when those mothers-in-law were blind? At this time, I just don't talk to her about the length and shortness, and those mothers-in-law have already complained about her, and they still want to talk to her......

Su Ke raised his eyebrows, "How can I let my sister-in-law carry this black cauldron." If you look down in the back house and don't look up, it's not good for anyone to complain. I will have to get along with them carefully in the future, and it is best to talk about it at this time, so that everyone can avoid misunderstandings and work better together. ”

Who wouldn't.

Liu Wuniang looked disdainful, and was just about to open her mouth to answer, but she seemed to think of something busy and shut up. When she looked at Su Ke, the look in Su Ke's eyes made her stunned. Although she didn't speak, the reaction just now had completely betrayed her. What's the difference between this and what you say?

Liu Wuniang choked her throat and simply said: "Who will guard who for a lifetime, if there is a high branch, who will not fly?" ”

Su Ke's heart moved slightly, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were cold, "Thanks to my sister-in-law Jiyan, it seems that Gao Zhi is not far from me." ”

"The girl is cold-talking, is she afraid of climbing high and falling heavy?"

Su Ke laughed desolately, "I'm afraid that after climbing the heights, I will become a bird locked at the top of the tower." ”

Still thinking so, I went back to Furui's house at night, and before I arrived at the main house, I heard Shaoyan's voice. Su Ke stood in the yard looking at the sky, feeling that he was already a bird in a cage, and the "master" remembered her, so he brought food to tease her. She had to squeak and be funny, so that the "master" spent so much money on her.

In fact, she really wanted to sue him, since the two of them had gold and silver as debts, so she didn't want to mention anything sincere.

Su Ke stood in the courtyard for a while, his mood was not miserable, but it was not comfortable. After grinding to the main house, hearing the increasingly lively laughter inside, Su Ke took a deep breath, lifted the curtain and entered the room, trying his best to raise a smile on his face, "Childe, this is the ...... from Tianjin Wei"

I can't say it anymore because it's too embarrassing.
