Chapter 34: Competing for Favor
Aunt Xiu looked indifferent to Aunt Li's secretly prickly words, she didn't care about them, these sour and prickly words, since she took over the housekeeping, she had heard too much, and she didn't take it seriously for a long time. Shen Qinglian couldn't help but glance at her, she was indeed a figure in the mansion, and this calmness alone was rare.
"Auntie, Master Hou is back." The maid outside the door announced, except for Shen Qinglian and Aunt Xiu in the house, several other women couldn't help but stretch their necks to look out at the door, especially Aunt Li, a pair of eyes eagerly staring at the door curtain, her hands were neatly combed with her sideburns, and the corners of her lips showed a coquettish smile.
In an instant, Zhao Jinling's tall figure walked in through the heavy curtain opened by the maid, as soon as he entered the room, his eyes crossed the crowd, and he couldn't help but fall on Shen Qinglian, and the corners of his lips smiled, "What's wrong, isn't your body uncomfortable?" ”
Several women in the room who were saluting him in a whisper heard this, and their bodies couldn't help but stiffen, and their eyes flashed with complexity. Zhao Jinling didn't look at them, and only said casually, "Get up!" Why are you so interested in coming here today? After saying a word, he sat down on the circle chair, took a sip of the tea offered by the maid, and looked at Shen Qinglian carefully, seeing that her face was good, and then he was relieved.
Everyone saw Zhao Jinling's posture as if there was no one beside him, as if there was only Shen Qinglian in their eyes, and suddenly, they were all sad, all of them were jealous and admired, that is, Aunt Xiu, who had always been as light as water to him, couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw it, Zhao Jinling gave Shen Qinglian a lot of hatred, Shen Qinglian couldn't help but glance at him fiercely, and said bitterly, what kind of person is this, he has no rules at all, and there are women sitting in the room with him, he is blind, and he can't see it, Just greeted me, originally provoked their eyes in the past few days, he was good, come this again, this is because my life is too comfortable Zhao Jinling was inexplicably glared at by Shen Qinglian, and looked at her with a look of grievance.
Aunt Li looked at the two of them in front of everyone, her eyes flashed quickly, she suppressed the jealousy in her heart, raised a charming smile, and joked with a coquettish smile, "Master, this is your fault, my sister is such a beautiful woman of the country, you just hide it by yourself, and don't wait for our sisters to introduce you, I can't say that the sisters in the house have to take advantage of the absence of the master to come and see secretly."
Hearing this, Zhao Jinling couldn't help but smile on the bottom of his eyebrows, and couldn't help but glance at Aunt Li with appreciation, and said in his heart, Aunt Li has grown up after what happened last time, and she no longer can't see that she loves other women like before, and she also knows how to get along well with other women in the house. As a man, he naturally hopes that the women in his house can get along harmoniously.
Then he smiled and said, "When I am not there, you can accompany Lianniang, so that she will not be left alone and panicked." Zhao Yali was overjoyed when she saw this, sure enough, she took the right step this way, she was close to Shen Qinglian, and she could get closer to him in the future.
Therefore, the smile on his face became more and more coquettish, and he couldn't help but put his arm around Shen Qinglian's shoulders and said, "As soon as I saw my sister, I was very close, as if I had a fate in my previous life, as long as my sister didn't dislike it, I was naturally willing to move around more with my sister." The third aunt and the second aunt were also busy showing a flattering smile at Zhao Jinling, and replied in agreement.
Shen Qinglian quietly pulled down Zhao Yali's hand holding her, she didn't like to be too close to people, not to mention that she was still a person she hated, and then quietly stayed away from her, and glanced at Zhao Jinling who was smiling with a spring breeze, and said angrily in her heart, she didn't want to socialize with these women all day long, you see Aunt Li's eyes are almost glued to Zhao Jinling, I'm afraid that when I come here, I don't mean to be drunk, I don't care about her to seduce Zhao Jinling, I just don't want to socialize with her, I'm too lazy to deal with these individuals.
couldn't help but smile and refused, "Sister, I'm the most boring, and I can't speak, I'm afraid that my sister and I will be bored together." "It's okay, I'm idle in the yard alone, just right, I can often come to your door in the future to accompany you to relieve your boredom." Zhao Yali couldn't see the reluctance in Shen Qinglian's words, but still said affectionately.
The second aunt and the third aunt sat very woodenly, only their eyes kept looking at Zhao Jinling, with a strong desire in them, seeing a few of them smiling Yan Yan, Hou Ye looked at them with a smile, but they didn't give them one, a look of envy and gloom, they haven't seen Hou Ye for a long time, remembering the past, Ye Ye also loved himself well, but unfortunately Hou Ye is a merry character, as soon as the freshness passes, it will be left behind, and there will naturally be more tender women to replace them, thinking about this, She didn't feel envious anymore, because one day they too too would be as neglected as she was.
Aunt Xiu was busy with something, and she said hello and retired first, the second aunt, the third aunt and Aunt Li were all a little reluctant, grinding, Zhao Jinling was in a good mood, waved his hand, and asked them to stay and eat together, several women were overjoyed, Shen Qinglian was happy, with them, it also saved him from pestering himself, and Zhao Yali had the opportunity to get close to Zhao Jinling again.
Suddenly, the maid who got the order stepped forward to set up the dishes and chopsticks, and several people sat down one after another, Zhao Yali has been leaning in front of Zhao Jinling, pulling Zhao Jinling's sleeve, and sitting beside him, the second aunt and the third aunt only glanced at it, and then lowered their eyes and sat down in turn. Shen Qinglian was dragged by Zhao Jinling and sat on his left hand, and the food came up in an instant, Zhao Yali rubbed Zhao Jinling's arm, and said coquettishly, "Master, it's rare for everyone to sit together so neatly today, why don't you bring some wine, let's all drink some wine, how about helping the fun?"
"Okay, I'll accompany you to drink a few cups today, Xi'er, go outside and ask Qingyun to go to my yard to get a jar of plum blossom wine." "Master, you really know how to hide your secrets, you have something to hide and eat" Zhao Yali giggled, glanced at it with a charming face, and quipped.
Zhao Jinling was caught by her glance at the soul, hooked his heart hot, thinking, this little girl, I haven't seen her for a few days, and she will be more and more seductive, these days I promised Lian Niang not to touch her, let her recuperate, it is better to go to her tonight. His hand couldn't help but reach under the table and secretly pinched Aunt Li's thigh.
Zhao Yali's face couldn't help but turn red, and she glanced at him with disgust, which made Zhao Jinling smile even more, Shen Qinglian looked at it coldly, disdainful in her heart, but she was also relieved in her heart, he was not there, and he could be quiet, otherwise he was really afraid of her, a pair of watery eyes swept at will, and saw that the second aunt and the third aunt were also secretly peeping at them, Shen Qinglian couldn't help but have an idea, where Zhao Jinling could go to other women, she naturally couldn't ask for it, but this Aunt Li was not a good person, and she had been squeezing herself with words before, How can it be as she wants, it is better to let the second aunt and the third aunt compete with her.
So she pulled Zhao Jinling and said with a smile, "Master, you and your sisters have a bar!" Lianniang is not comfortable, so she won't eat, a few of you eat and drink, sit together, it is convenient to wait for the master, but it is also lively. Zhao Jinling thought that he was too affectionate with Aunt Li in front of Shen Qinglian, and he always felt a little weak-hearted, so he readily agreed.
The second aunt and the third aunt both smiled at Shen Qinglian with some gratitude, the second aunt wanted to wave her hand to refuse, but was dragged by the third aunt and sat down, and the third aunt sat on Shen Qinglian's seat, Shen Qinglian glanced at the second aunt with some surprise, and saw that she lowered her eyes and couldn't see her expression, and couldn't help muttering in her heart, I was afraid that the relationship between the two was not as good as it seemed.
At this time, Qingyun also sent it with the wine jar, the maid poured wine for them, and several people laughed and ate, Shen Qinglian ate the food by herself, occasionally raised her eyes and glanced at it, and saw Zhao Yali and the third aunt competing to Zhao Jinling to be courteous, don't look at the second aunt and the third aunt are like invisible people, not squeaking or squeaking, but at this time, the third aunt and Aunt Li are competing for each other, and they are not falling behind, but the second aunt only looks at them silently, sits honestly on the side, and occasionally accompanies them to eat.
Shen Qinglian looked at it for a while, felt bored, and her stomach was full, so she said hello to Zhao Jinling a few times, and went in to rest, when Zhao Jinling and a few of them were drinking and drinking hot, he looked at Aunt Li with a pair of beautiful eyes, and looked at him with a soul, his plump chest was still rubbing against himself from time to time, he couldn't help grabbing it, pinching it, and teasing, "Li Niang is missing her here." "Master, if you say this in front of such a person, you are going to shame Liniang." Zhao Yali's eyes were sultry, and she snuggled into his arms shyly and coquettishly.
The third aunt here ate slightly, and also rushed to his side, Zhao Jinling smelled the fragrance, drunk eyes slightly, but there was a different intoxicating charm, couldn't help but free up a hand, hugged her, and took a sip on her cheeks that were dyed red by wine, nephrite was warm and fragrant in his arms, or two, which made him suddenly feel a little uneasy.
Zhao Yali looked at the third aunt who was hugged by Zhao Jinling, and saw his eager eyes fall on the third aunt for a while, only to feel that her lungs were about to explode, she finally seized this opportunity, and she couldn't wait to use all her skills to seduce Zhao Jinling, but a third aunt appeared halfway, looking at her usually silent, but the biting dog did not bark, but it was quite a means.
But I don't believe that if my appearance is compared to that Aunt Lian, I can still lose to you, a person who has fallen out of favor. So she squeezed over, deliberately bumped into the third aunt, turned her head and smiled at Zhao Jinling Yanran, "Master, at this time, there is only wine, and there is no song and dance to help the fun, wouldn't it be a disappointment." Hearing this, Zhao Jinling's interest also came, pulling her little hand, and said with a smile, "Speaking of this little song, it is Liniang's specialty, and I haven't heard it for a long time, come, come, you will sing a paragraph to Ye now." ”
Zhao Yali winked playfully and said with a smile, "Master, every time you listen to a little song, you don't get tired of panicking, these days, Liniang is fine, I have pondered some new things, and I want to have a good time." "Oh, Li Niang has something new, come quickly, let the master see, if it is really good, the master will be rewarded." Zhao Jinling was aroused by this remark, aroused his curiosity, and looked at Zhao Yali with a playful expression.
Zhao Yali stood up, rolled her eyes, and said to Zhao Jinling slyly, "Master, Sister Lian is still taking a nap inside, I'm afraid it will disturb Sister Lian's tranquility, it's better to go to Liniang's Begonia Courtyard, and I won't disappoint Master at that time." Zhao Jinling looked at the curtain of the door of the house, and felt that Aunt Li was right, a few of them were making trouble here, making noise, it would really affect Lianniang's rest.
let go of the third aunt's body, stood up and said, "Okay, then take a look at the Begonia Courtyard and see what surprises Liniang will prepare for the master, if it is not good, it will be punished." Zhao Yali rolled her eyes, glanced at him enchantingly, and pouted, "Master, I don't believe Li Niang." "If you don't believe you, why bother to take this trip, you can talk about you" Zhao Jinling squeezed her hand and said.
The third aunt watched them take care of themselves and walked forward, unwilling in her eyes, she was cheeky to please the master for a long time, seeing that the master was interested in her, but was disturbed by this Aunt Li, if she didn't seize this rare opportunity to get along with the master today, I am afraid it will be more difficult in the future, thinking about the younger brother at home, she gritted her teeth, left the second aunt beside her, and chased after her cheekily and said, "Master, can you let Jiu'er also see Sister Li's ability, but I don't know if Sister Li is willing?" As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Yali timidly.
Zhao Jinling looked at Jiu'er (that is, the third aunt) a hibiscus noodle, because she had eaten a lot of wine, her little face was flushed, her eyes were like water, and she looked particularly pretty and bright, so she couldn't help hugging her and said, "Jiu'er wants to go, then let's go and see it together, Liniang is not such a stingy person, right!" The third aunt was overjoyed when she heard this, and thanked her again and again with a smile on her eyebrows.
Only Zhao Yali is about to explode, a person like real kraft candy can stick to it like this, and she has to squeeze out a smile at Zhao Jinling and say, "How come, my sister can go, my sister can't ask for it, but I can't invite people on weekdays." Speaking of the back, he secretly stared at Jiu'er, quite gnashing his teeth.
Jiu'er smiled provocatively at her, and said in her heart, because of your favor on weekdays, we avoid you everywhere, but you are not bullying us in every way, although I am a slave, but I am innocent and follow the master, but you are just a hook woman, I don't know how many men have slept with, and if you get the favor of the lord, you can't compete with you before, but now that you have the opportunity, you will not be worse than you.
Zhao Yali suppressed the anger in her heart, ignored Jiu'er's provocative eyes, and only rubbed Zhao Jinling's body affectionately, flirting and scolding all the way. In an instant, after entering the Begonia Courtyard, Zhao Yali led the two into the house, and then ordered them to go down and re-order a table of wine and food, and then smiled at Zhao Jinling Yingying and said, "Master, and sit here for a while, Liniang will come after changing her clothes." ”
