Chapter 6: The Handmaiden
Sure enough, he turned a small green garden, and arrived at a courtyard against the wall, Murong Chong's eyes showed a fierce light, he stepped in with his sword, and went straight into the house after passing the small courtyard.
Before entering the house, I listened to the laughter of "giggles", childish and cute, and hit people's hearts. The room is spacious and bright, it turns out that a child is climbing on the couch, there is a nurse standing on each side of the couch, trying to tease her to crawl to her side, each holding a square scarf handkerchief in her hand, making various sounds in her mouth, Feng Nuer on all fours, smiling with her mouth open, the red handkerchief here is bright, she wants, the "squeak" sound over there is interesting, she wants to listen to it nearby, but it makes her happy.
As soon as Murong Chong entered the house, the four nurses saw it, and the maids standing on all sides also saw it, and they all immediately stopped their work and saluted Murong Chong together.
One of the kind-faced slave women immediately picked up the child, the child smiled, used his hands and feet together, "clucking" happily, a room of happiness, Murong Chong was wrapped in a murderous aura, and walked in with a sword, the four slave women froze on their faces with happy smiles, stunned, the original smile was torn apart, and it became two or three horizontal lines on the face, which was a little frightened and hideous.
Murong Chong raised his sword by another point, and walked up stiffly, there were only two colors on his face, extremely pale and the thick black on his eyebrows and eyelashes, black and white pressed forward step by step, the murderous aura appeared on his face, the slave woman holding the child hugged the child tightly, and retreated step by step, retreating to the corner of the wall There was no way to retreat.
Murong Chong stood three feet away from the child, raised the sword between his neck and cheek, the sword flashed to the child's eyes with a cold light, the child turned his gaze from the slave woman's body to Murong Chong's face, as soon as she touched it, she laughed "giggled-", the two lotus-like pink hands that were originally placed on the slave woman's face stretched out towards Murong Chong, and called out indistinctly: "Big ...... Big...... Big...... Bubble ......"
Changshi's heart was sour, this child likes to follow adults to learn to talk with his tongue, "hug" can't be said clearly, often with his tongue turned into a "bubble", Murong Chong has never hugged him, but Changshi comes to take a look every day, look at it and love this child, I can't help but want to hug it, this child is familiar, so she "giggles" at you, her smile is bright and bright as if the world is always sunshine.
Changshi walked a few steps, hugged the child into his arms, hunched his waist and said to Murong Chong: "How old a child is, the little slave doesn't know anything, and it's not interesting to kill it, Brother Huang'er, don't you say?" ”
The child "giggled" and laughed again in Changshi's arms, and reached out to reach Changshi's face, and turned his head to Murong Chong to babble, everyone couldn't understand what she said, only to see that she was not only talking, but also dancing, kicking her legs excitedly, suddenly her body rushed towards Murong Chong, she pounced so suddenly, Changshi couldn't hold it at all, and watched the little slave rush towards Murong Chong's sword.
Murong Chong's other hand who didn't hold a sword subconsciously fished it out, hugged the little slave in his arms, and Changshi was scared into a cold sweat. The little slave's fleshy hand wrapped around Murong Chong's arm, and raised his eyes and shouted to Murong Chong: "Handsome-handsome-handsome-"
She had never spit out such a clear voice, everyone didn't understand, Murong Chong was stunned, looked down at the little slave, the little slave opened his mouth and laughed, and shouted again: "Dashuai Gege!" ”
"Feng Nu!" Murong Chong blurted out, "Feng Nu? Feng Nu! ”
What answered him was the little slave's vague babbling, Changshi hurriedly stepped forward and held the little slave in his arms, and said with a smile: "Feng slave? This name is good, it was too stingy to call the little slave before, you look at the emperor brother, you small character Fenghuang, let's call you the emperor brother, this child is called Feng slave, didn't she just call her to borrow the blessing of the master? ”
Murong Chong's hand holding the sword hung down, and the original stiff waist was also loosened, so that his whole body collapsed, and the dark robe was pulled down, his anger was relieved, he turned around and walked towards the door, and said as he walked: "Feng Nu, she is Feng Nu, just Feng Nu...... And all those who came from the palace came to serve her, and called her well...... Good ...... You have to grow up well! Good...... ...... well."
When a few "good" words came out, Murong Chong seemed to collapse, he hung by the door, and he had no strength at all.
Changshi hurriedly handed over the child to the slave woman and supported Murong Chong, who leaned on Changshi's body like a lifeless robe.
Changshi helped Murong Chong, turned back to the slave woman and the nurse of the little slave and said: "Begging sister-in-law, there are sixteen maids sent from the palace in the outer hall, and the master said that they were all sent to serve the young lady, and you brought people here when you were free." Saying that, Bi rushed towards his small courtyard with Murong in his arms, and when he was distracted, he quietly took off his sword and threw it into the grass.
Stumbling into the bedroom, just about to sit down, Murong Chong hugged Changshi, big tears rolled down from his pale face, and his voice was like crying: "Changshi, Changshi...... I can't live anymore, I'm a laughing stock when I live, what's the point? That's it...... That's it......"
Changshi helped Murong Chong to sit on the soft couch, lowered his body and comforted: "Brother Huang, don't say this, the Qin Palace has been difficult for more than three years, haven't you survived it all?" Fortunately, you are far away from the Qin Palace, it is one side of the Taishou, you are the county lord of Pingyang County, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, you will no longer be angry with that person all day long, just once a year, bear with it! If Brother Huang still feels hate, he will take the hatred well, and when Brother Huang is full-fledged, he will naturally have power! ”
Changshi beckoned, and a few old slaves guarding the door walked in, and Changshi whispered: "You ask the kitchen to cook some of his favorite dishes for the master, and warm a pot of wine, so that he can serve him!" ”
Murong Chong raised his head suddenly, swept away Fang Cai's grief and indignation, and said: "Those maids sent from the Qin Palace, Changshi, you give me a good check, see who is the tongue, you pull it out for me, don't keep a single one!" ”
Changshi nodded, shook his head again and said, "Brother Huang, those maids are all sent by the palace, where can they be pulled?" If it is really the tongue of the palace, it will alarm the upper head if it is pulled out rashly, let's take our time! ”
Murong Chong raised his head and smiled, and said, "Changshi, didn't you teach me to take hatred well, I understand, hatred will become a kind of power when it is used well, and if it is used well, it will also be a kind of power!" ”
Changshi slapped his thigh and sighed: "Our brother Huang is really smart, why didn't the slave think of it?" The minions are going to dispose of these maids! ”
Changshi walked out of the bedroom, turned around and looked, and thought about it for a while, there were no maids in Murong Chong's small courtyard, and the nurses and maids who came over were all serving Feng Nu, and they were all old servants serving in the bedroom, and they were all put together with the flower-like Murong Chong all day long.
Changshi walked towards the outer hall, and the eighteen palace maids stood respectfully with their heads bowed, humble and polite, well-trained, and all of them had delicate faces and graceful postures. Changshi observed it carefully before he stepped forward and asked: "You are all from the palace, and your manners are different from those of other places, and when you come to the county guard's mansion, you naturally have a good place to go, and if you serve with all your heart, you will also have a bright future, who have served in front of the palace?" ”
The two maids stood up hesitantly, and one of them saluted and said, "The slave is a famous fan, and she once held a fan in front of the emperor!" "Looking at her for a long time, her body is round, plump and lovely, and she is a superior posture.
Another person said: "The slave's name is Yiyan, and she used to drink in front of the emperor!" "This woman is slender and slender, beautiful and delicate, and she is also a superior figure.
Changshi saw that these two people were delicate and good-looking, and he was unforgettable, and wondered: "I also often walk in front of the palace, how do you see your face, when did you serve in front of the palace?" ”
The two women said: "The two of us have only served in front of the palace for one year, and they have worked in the queen mother's palace before!" ”
Changshi sighed: "It's no wonder, a year ago, I was also in the Qin Palace, watching the two sisters face to face, but I was so old and confused that I couldn't remember it, so it turned out to be like this." ”
Changshi asked them to stand aside and wait, and said to the other maids: "The county lord came to Pingyang County for a year, only brought some old servants and old women, like me is young, there are many old servants in the house, twilight, the county lord is in the prime of youth, has not yet married a wife, has the heart to find a few pleasant near waiting, if you get the favor of the adult, there is a lot to be done in the future, if you give birth to a son and a half daughter, it is a dignified lady, although it is not as good as the lady of the main room, but compared to being a slave and a maid, it is naturally infinite, If any of you wishes, come closer! ”
After only being quiet for a while, I saw two palace people stepping forward, Changshi took a look at it attentively, one of them had a white face, looked quite beautiful, and his movements were light, his name was Lian Bi, and the other looked quiet and calm, with a degree of advance and retreat, and his appearance was also beautiful, named Qilu.
