24.024 She is his woman
Following "You are my woman", Shao Linghang realized the second truth last night.
In fact, the past ten days have been very busy, the harem is uncertain, and there are rumors in the previous dynasty. The concubine sent the eunuch beside her to pass the word, telling him to be cautious and not to be strong. If the emperor summons him, he can avoid it, and the future will be long.
Shao Linghang naturally understood what the concubine meant, but the emperor was tempting step by step, and blindly avoiding it could not eliminate the emperor's suspicion. After a few times, Shao Linghang broke through the cauldron and bluntly stated his position.
"The Nine Emperors are still young, and they will need the protection of the prince in the future. The position of the young master of the prince, although it is a false position, will not avoid the discussion of the ministers, and it will make the prince scruples. The battle in the north lasted for four years, and the minister was away from home for seven years, and now the minister is idle at home is the time to fulfill his filial piety. With this, it is just Taoguang to cultivate obscurity, and when there is a war, the ministers will do their best. β
This may have really moved the emperor, and after weighing it again and again, the emperor withdrew the post of the prince and young master of the second rank and gave him the position of governor of the left army from the first grade.
Promoted to commander of the army in a vacant position. It seems that he has let down his guard.
Colleagues came to congratulate them when they heard the news, and the banquet in the outer courtyard did not break for several days. When Shao Linghang was staggering, he suddenly found that he didn't seem to have seen much of the chief manager of the Hou Mansion in the past few days. This is certainly not an accident, but if you think about it, you can understand that Fury is deliberately avoiding him.
That's where it gets interesting.
Fury is his man, and during the years he has been away from home, almost all the real power in his hands has been hollowed out. Now that he is staying in Beijing, it is a good time for Fury to turn over, and there is no reason to avoid him. The only thing that made Fury jealous should be the "aunt" he stuffed past.
"In the past few days, I can't get away from the entertainment, and I haven't passed, what's wrong with her?" Shao Linghang, who was easy to idle, asked Furui to talk, and asked straight without beating around the bush.
Fury knew that he couldn't hide, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to deal with the truth and falsehood. "The temper is still very stubborn, every day when he comes back from duty in the house, except for opening his mouth when eating, he refuses to say a word. The first few days people were very haggard, but two days ago they suddenly came to the interest, cooked two dishes for us, and said some trivial things. But after that, it was still the same, hiding in the house and not coming out much. β
"Stir-fried two dishes?" Shao Linghang raised his eyes, "What dish?" β
Fu Rui was busy recalling the two dishes that Su Ke said that day when he wanted to learn abacus, "one stir-fried liver tip, and the other Wufu vegan." After speaking, a smile hung on his face, "It's all Hou Ye's favorite dishes, but they are generally fried, and they may still be hand-raw." β
Shao Linghang is actually not a picky eater, but when he meets someone who loves food, he eats two more bites. Speaking of stir-fried liver tips and Wufu vegan, he doesn't have any special impressions, just don't hate it. She wants to make these two dishes, and I don't know who sued her.
I have this heart.
"I can't be idle these days, and I'll try her craft when I'm free." Shao Linghang pretended not to care, even though his mind had moved, but when he thought of her stubborn eyebrows, he felt angry. I still have to stretch her temperament more.
Fury was a little disappointed, even if he made up so much, it still didn't impress. He Shi Shiran left, but Shao Linghang's mood was unexpectedly much relaxed, and he asked for a bowl of sweet soup to eat before going to bed.
But the girl who came to deliver the sweet soup didn't leave after that, and the good mood disappeared completely.
"The old lady asked the slave maid to serve the Hou Ye." The girl stood beside the table, well-proportioned, with red lips and white teeth. His cheeks were slightly red, and the light of the candlestick cast two fine shadows on his eyelashes, fluttering and fluttering. It's a pitiful and shy look.
Shao Linghang saw it in his eyes, but he couldn't raise the slightest interest in his heart, and even felt a little disgusted.
Such a rouge vulgar powder also goes well with his bed?
He does have a problem with monopoly, and when he was a child, he was pampered, and the root of the disease fell. But when he was ten years old, because of a jade carving exquisite ball, his father taught him a cruel lesson. Since then, he has gradually developed his own style - those who do not deserve to be touched, those who are impossible to get are not coveted, and those that already belong to him are not discarded.
So later, everyone thought that his problems had converged, but in fact, he had worsened.
He doesn't ask for it anymore, but once he asks for it, it is in his eyes, and it will be his life after he gets it. Even if the king of heaven comes to rob it, he can crush and destroy it, and he will not give it to others.
So this kind of rouge vulgar powder, he really feels redundant even to take a second look.
How could Mother have thought of sending such a person? Shao Linghang shook his head helplessly, threw the bowl on the table, "Take something out." β
The girl didn't hear clearly, and leaned forward slightly across the table. But seeing Shao Linghang's gloomy face, his back suddenly cooled, "What did Master Hou say?" β
"Get out."
"The old lady asked the slave maid to serve the Hou Ye."
Shao Linghang raised his eyes and glanced at the girl, and his humble and arrogant appearance annoyed him. Just because he has a monopoly problem, more and more people come up around him, as if as long as he climbs into bed, he will not let go. What a joke. He didn't have the ability to get them close.
"It's just three things, you don't leave yet, don't blame me for being unkind." After Shao Linghang finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the inner room, no longer paying attention to this girl who didn't know the height of the sky.
Who knew that the girl was not discouraged, "The slave waits for the Hou Ye to change his clothes." The next moment his hand was buttoned over his collar.
Shao Linghang's last good temper was also exhausted, he grabbed her wrist and twisted it backhanded, only to hear an exclamation of "oops", he didn't care about anything else, and threw it directly outside the house.
The girl didn't stand firm and fell to the ground, looked at the figure in the threshold with tears in her eyes, and sobbed: "Master Hou, my wrist, my wrist may be dislocated." β
"Go find Mother Sun." After Shao Linghang finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.
Dislocate? This bit of force is dislocated? Tricksters.
Shao Linghang pursed his lips in disgust, walked to the inner room to rest, but found that there was a bathtub behind the screen. Sure enough, I came prepared. He stood and looked at Chen, undressed and soaked in the tub. The water is already cold. The weather is getting colder, and the water temperature is uncomfortable. It's not like when I was in Qinhuai in July, and I didn't feel like a cold water.
July, Qin Huai, Su Ke.
Shao Linghang's eyes were half-open, and he suddenly remembered a pair of white wrists. Slender and white, his hands could grasp both wrists at the same time, making her unable to move......
Sure enough, it was a hard bone, and I didn't see her dislocated after struggling like that.
Shao Linghang squinted, he lost his appetite without eating two bites of sweet soup that night just now, and now he is a little hungry. At this time, she shouldn't have slept yet, so let her fry two dishes with sleepiness, which can be regarded as punishment.
Thinking so, Shao Linghang stood up. I don't know where it came from, a gust of wind blew on the wet body, and people couldn't help but shiver.
This cold tremble, Shao Linghang, who gave up/bath, suddenly had a startled mind.
When did he like to eat stir-fried liver tips? Isn't the tip of the liver the liver of a pig? He had seen fresh pork liver once, and because of the disgusting color, he threw away all his reddish-brown clothes. Those who served around him knew it. So where did she know that he liked this dish and went out of his way to learn it?
Shao Linghang thought for more than a moment, his bright face gradually became cloudy, his palms clenched into fists, and after sorting out everything, he smashed it towards the water.
Water splashes.
The woman was clearly for the "trivial matter" in Furui's mouth, so she fried two dishes when she had something to ask for. Fury hurriedly said it casually, and he even believed it. Just because of his self-righteous "silence", "haggard" and "depressed", he felt that she was soft, and she was thinking about him.
How could he be so naΓ―ve!
I'm afraid that she can't be happy that he won't go to her now.
So Cao Xinghe's sentence is still right, women can't get used to it or be petted, otherwise they can kick their noses and face immediately if they give a little color. There are very few women in this world who can carry it. Those who are too strong get along are tired and panicked, those who are too obedient are less playful, those who are too welcoming are hypocritical, and those who are too gentle feel sticky.
What doesn't have any of these problems is the confidante and the bright moon in the sky.
He agrees with this point of view very much, he just gave her too many good colors, so she dared to fight him again and again.
He believes that a good woman should be strong, flexible, sharp, intelligent, and independent. Not attached, not dependent, knowing what you want and what to do.
But what about her......
Shao Linghang's heart trembled.
Why did she agree with everything, it seemed to be born from his heart.
Shao Linghang looked at the distorted face on the water, and his back molars were gritting loudly, but he couldn't bear the panic in his heart flowing around in his body.
He remembered her slender waist, white wrists, and soft and delicate body struggling powerlessly in his arms. Thinking of her silent tears, she stubbornly pursed her lips, but she didn't forget to tilt her head and glance at him. I remembered that she knelt down and begged him not to show off, pretending to go along with him and spend money to ransom her, but in fact she never believed him at all.
I remember her sad expression when she rolled down the stairs; When you hold the prayer post, you are grateful. remembered that when she untied the tassel of the jade pendant, the red thread was wound between her fingers; When she caught up with the carriage, she grabbed a few sections of green onions in the window.
remembered her surprise when she saw him standing at the door, the grievances when she heard that he wanted to stay overnight, the wit when she saw the Hou Mansion, and the stubbornness when she was-for-tat at the dinner table.
He missed her. As a man, his Adam's apple was stirring and his mouth was dry and he thought about her. I couldn't reach out and couldn't grasp it, and I thought about her in an empty space.
Shao Linghang suddenly discovered that from beginning to end, he was asking her to be a confidante. She's doing a great job, she's very good, and her every move is appealing to him. But she is the only one who does not belong to him, does not want to belong and even wants to escape from him. His great anger also stems from this, and he is mad at her for not listening, not caring, and not wanting to miss her.
She's his woman, that's a truth. He couldn't let her go, and that was true.
β¦β¦
The next day, Shao Linghang took the girl who brought the sweet soup to the old lady's incense house.
