Volume 2 This Goes to Xie Mansion Chapter 44, The General's Concubine
The charcoal basin is burning very hot, the room is warm, the furniture is clean and generous but not luxurious, and the neatly spread kang is hung with a crimson brocade tent, this should be the guest room of the General's Mansion, Changsheng put down his burden, took off the gray rabbit skin of the armor, and drank hot tea while looking at it, her body and mind were comfortable, and since then, she has really left her relatives.
There were snacks and red apples on the table, just now Steward Xie said to let her rest for a while, and then send someone to invite her at dinner, these fruit snacks should be prepared for her.
Looking at the fruit that was so ordinary in the previous life, she couldn't help but pick it up and take a bite, the crisp, sweet and juicy taste made her heart sour, since she went home, she hadn't eaten a bite of fruit, and was about to take a second bite, when there was a sudden puff of chuckle outside, and the voice was a young man.
Changsheng was ashamed and embarrassed, put down the apple and walked quickly to the window, and there was a sound of footsteps stepping on the dead branches outside, and the person had already left. She blushed and returned to her seat, and for a moment of hatred, concluded that it must be the one in the royal blue brocade robe who was spying on her.
Who is so boring? Probably some kind of rude subordinate or guest, but what's so funny about taking a bite of an apple? Fortunately, she was going to Xie Mansion, and she only stayed in the General's Mansion ****, otherwise she would not be able to stand being noticed every day. In a fit of anger, seeing that there was still some time before dinner, he simply finished the apple he had bitten into, and then slowly ate his heart.
After a while, a girl came in and said that the general was invited, Changsheng didn't think it was strange, she was going back to Xie Mansion tomorrow, and it was normal for a father to explain to his daughter.
Came to the main hall last time, Steward Xie stood aside, in addition to General Xie, there was also a charming woman in her twenties, born round and small, well-behaved and weak, let the man I see the kind of pity, it seems to be the general's concubine, I don't know why, Changsheng was born with no good impression of this kind of woman.
After sitting down, Xie Mingche said with a heavy face: "Don't hide it from Miss Zhou, Jin Shu was originally a lively and clever child, but since her mother died of illness, she has become more and more silent day by day, more and more introverted day by day, and now she is becoming more and more powerful, and even refuses to see the living, refuses to go to strange places, the old lady is old, her brother and sister-in-law have their children, and I can't take her here, I worry about her every day, so I have no choice but to find a reliable person to teach her, and I will entrust it to you in the future." ”
Changsheng was in a trance when he heard the word Jinshu, as if he had returned to his previous life, forcing himself to calm down and listen carefully, and couldn't help but feel pity for this child with the same name as himself, isn't this a tendency to be autistic? I hope it's not too serious, and I wonder if this child will accept her? It's just that if Xie Fu is in Gyeonggi, why is it recruiting people in Jinyang, and the recruitment notice is posted in Yunzhou?
She didn't dare to relax, and thought about it and said: "General Xie values it, Changsheng will do his best, but I am afraid that if I am rejected by the young lady, I will be entrusted by the general." ”
"I also have no way, you are quite similar to your deceased wife, maybe the little girl can accept you, and try but it doesn't hurt."
Changsheng was stunned, no wonder so many people only selected themselves when they applied for the job, but the general's wife must have been born in a famous family, and she was a crosser, and she was imprisoned in the deep palace for eight years, how could her aura be similar? Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a trace of jealousy and hatred flashing in the woman's eyes, and soon her face was as usual, and she was even more suspicious in her heart, and after a little thought, she understood that this woman was just the general's concubine, and she must be jealous of the general's thoughts about his deceased wife and his love for his daughter, and it was definitely not aimed at himself as an outsider.
Xie Mingche loved his daughter, he was quite worried in his words, carefully introduced his daughter's situation and temperament, said some entrusted words, and invited Changsheng to have dinner together.
It is also normal for the host to invite Mr. Xixi to dinner, since Steward Xie said that the treatment is equal to that of Mr. Xixi, and Changsheng does not need to be contemptuous, so Xie Guo sat down together, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the concubine frowning slightly, there was a little dissatisfaction in her eyes, obviously very unwilling to sit with herself, Changsheng naturally ignored it, she knew the status of a concubine very clearly, and it was useless to be noble in front of herself.
"What about the third son? Go and invite him over, I'm leaving tomorrow morning, what else is he rubbing? ”
Soon a small guy went out, and came over to report after a while, saying that the third prince went to drink farewell wine at the invitation of a friend, and did not eat together at night, Xie Mingche smiled undeniably and motioned for everyone to eat.
Although it is not as good as the palace banquet, but in the cold and freezing northern Jinbei region on this day, the dinner is very rich, Changsheng just ate a snack apple and was not hungry, and secondly, he was afraid of being despised by the little concubine, so he only used a little, and went down to rest.
After returning to the house, she checked the salute again, and asked the girl who was temporarily serving her about the basic situation of the General's Mansion, Changsheng really had nothing to do, thinking that it would be bumping on the carriage from tomorrow anyway, so it was better to rest early to recuperate.
Just as the hair was about to be dissolved, there was a jingle of ringing, and the little girl came in to report, saying that Aunt Bai had come to see Miss Zhou, and as soon as the words fell, the woman came in with the girl just now, and said, "Bai Mei is disturbing the girl!" ”
It turned out that her name was Bai Mei, but it was a good name, and the difference from just now was that she wore a water-red cloak with a white fox fur, which added a bit of charm, although Changsheng didn't understand why she came to find her, but he still politely invited her to take a seat.
Bai Mei's amorous eyes looked at Changsheng a few times, and a little jealousy quickly flashed in her eyes and covered up the past, and she smiled softly and said: "Bai Mei will come here because she wants to entrust the girl with something." Counting my general's total of four concubines, Aunt Li and Aunt Lu were brought up by the girl, Aunt Qiu was a poor girl who was bought, and I was the only one who came to marry with my wife, so I had to be looked down upon by the general and have been serving with me, and the other three stayed in the county uncle's mansion. ”
Changsheng listened to her show-off, smiled lightly, what was the use of saying this to herself, she was not anyone's aunt who wanted to compete with her for favor, she just wanted to be her upbringing aunt. And since Bai Mei was married by his wife, and when his wife died, she should stay by the young lady's side to take care of her, but she came from afar to monopolize her husband's favor, which was really ungrateful, and she was embarrassed to say it to others.
Seeing that Changsheng was calm and didn't care at all, Bai Mei said to herself: "Miss Jinshu was grown up by me, I haven't seen her for more than a year, I am very worried about it, and the old lady loves me a lot, the three aunts and I have a deep sisterhood, and I have specially prepared some souvenirs to give to them, and it is not good to trouble the third son, so I want to ask Miss Zhou to help bring it back." ”
It's a trivial matter, of course, it doesn't matter, Changsheng nodded with a smile, and asked her to send someone to the car tomorrow morning, so she didn't say much, let her eyes wander, and stop talking, Aunt Bai sat boring, so she had to sit for a while and leave.
Changsheng sat on the kang with his hair draped, and couldn't figure out how her aura could resemble the dignified general's wife? Will Xiao Jinshu, who has the same name as her, accept her? Forget it, it's hard to take a step, let's watch while walking, I'm not selling myself into slavery, I really can't stay and leave.
(Changsheng has changed the environment and started a new life, pay more attention to it, please continue to support Jinse!) )
