Volume 2 This Goes to Xie Mansion Chapter 370, Retreat is Advance
Chapter 370, retreat is advance
In the tent, Mingjing seemed to be asleep, in fact, he did fall asleep, and after another day of running, he was really tired, and he had not had this kind of night, so he fell asleep without distraction.
Douhuang smiled silently and desolately, she has not never had this kind of night, from the initial sad expectation and humiliation to the current calmness, she has long expected that no matter how the old lady arranges, Mingjing will do this to her, maybe he will change his mind in the future, but it is definitely not now.
However, he slept on her bed, covered with the quilt she had covered, and the pillow and bedding were all stained with her breath, and I didn't believe that he didn't feel the slightest feeling, and the days were long enough to break his willpower.
In fact, she doesn't want to sleep at all, she is very awake, but she is afraid that the old lady will see the clue if she doesn't rest well, once she knows that Mingjing hates herself like this, will she still treat herself who has no use value?
No, no matter how the door is closed, when she walks out of the house, she has to face everyone with a smile, especially tomorrow morning, she wants to use a bright smile to let the people in this house know how much she and Mingjing love, she wants to stimulate Zhou Changsheng with a shy attitude, so that their husband and wife will gradually drift away from morality, and she must let the old lady know the value of her use. So tonight she has to sleep well, and tomorrow she will appear in front of everyone in all her glory.
Because she had foreseen it in advance, she was ready in advance, she gently lifted the lid of the box, took out a rolled mat from it and spread it on the ground, took out a moisture-proof felt and laid it on, and then spread the futon, then untied her hair and took off her coat, and lightly got into the comfortable quilt.
Early the next morning, Mingjing was woken up by the sound of birds, and habitually reached out to touch Changsheng, but there was no one around him, and he opened his eyes vigorously, and dimly found that this was not the place he was used to sleeping, and remembered that he slept in the bean yellow house last night on the order of the old lady. Hurriedly got up and opened the tent, but found that Douhuang was sleeping on the ground, the house was small, there was not much open space, she slept three feet in front of the bed, breathing evenly, and sleeping soundly.
Mingjing was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that this was not a place to stay for a long time, so he was about to get out of bed and get dressed and leave, but Douhuang woke up and hurriedly got up: "Third master, don't worry, wait for the slave to light the candle"
Ming Jing was silent, skillfully dressed in the hazy morning light, and when Douhuang lit the candle, he was almost dressed, and Douhuang hurriedly said: "The slave maid went to fetch water"
Mingjing said calmly: "No need, I'll go back and freshen up, it's still early, you can sleep for a while, don't worry about me, I'll just dress up and walk by myself." ”
Douhuang hurriedly knelt down and whispered with tears: "The slave knows that the third master and the third lady are deeply affectionate, and they can't tolerate others anymore, the slave and maid have no intention of intervening, but they have nowhere to go after leaving the Xie family, the slave and maid are used to serving by the master's side, and if they don't serve the master, they really don't know what else to do, so they ask the master and the third lady to accommodate the slave and maid."
The slave maid has long known that the third master has no personal relationship with the slave maid, and the slave and maid are the third master's intercourse girls to the outside world, so in essence, she is only a serving girl, okay? If the old lady knew that the third master was disgusted with slaves and maids, she would no longer be able to tolerate slaves and maids.
Mingjing hesitated, the old lady would never let him and Changsheng live at ease, even if she drove Douhuang away, she would have to stuff other women in, and more than one, and the character and intentions of these women could not be guaranteed, I don't know how much trouble it would bring to him and Changsheng at that time, it would be better for Douhuang to know the root and grasp it, if she didn't think about him with the consequences, it would be better to use her to block the old lady's mouth.
Raise your eyes again and see Dou Huang last night on the floor, the bottom is a straw mat, there is a moisture-proof thin felt on the mat, and then the bedding and other things, it seems that she has already planned to sleep on the ground, presumably she is also dead to herself, it is rare for her to see that there is no longer a wrong thought, so let's stay first to see the effect.
He paused, and said: "If I don't keep you, it seems to force you to a dead end, if I keep you, you also know that I can't tolerate other women except the third lady." But if you really do what you say, serve me and the third lady wholeheartedly, we will let you live in the Xie family for the rest of your life, if you have any thoughts or help others deal with us, you should know that I can do it when I should be ruthless."
Douhuang kowtowed: "The third master can rest assured, the slave and maid will not do anything unfavorable to the third master and the third lady, and there will be no more undesirable thoughts, if there is a violation, everything will be subject to the disposal of the third master and the third lady, and I will never dare to complain."
Then seeing Mingjing's face a little edged, he hurriedly said cautiously: "If the third master leaves without freshening up, the old lady will be suspicious, maybe she will find another way to deal with the third master and the third lady, why don't we do it like a little bit, how about hiding it from the old lady?" The slave maid cleaned up the floor first, and then fetched water to serve the third master to freshen up and then have breakfast before leaving? ”
Mingjing thought about it, even if it was a fake, he had to do something like it, so as to hide it from the old lady, lest she add to the blockage of Changsheng with extraneous branches, so he pushed the boat down the river and nodded: "Okay, then clean it up quickly." ”
Douhuang is secretly happy, things are going according to her imagination, Mingjing needs her help to act together to deceive the old lady, she also needs Mingjing's help to stay smoothly, the two of them have mutual use value, no matter what the essence is, on the surface, Mingjing was in love with her **** last night, and had dinner at the same table in the morning, and there is light on the face of the Xie family in the future, as for the future, let's slowly figure it out.
Mingjing watched Douhuang clean up the floor and hide it, and freshen up under her service, the two had breakfast together, and then went to greet the old lady together, she looked in the mirror when she left, she looked really radiant and her eyes were charming, outsiders knew that last night must have been very pleasant, and they didn't know what kind of look Zhou Changsheng would look like when he saw it, and he was looking forward to it.
Mingjing looked at her face full of happiness, and wondered if she was really so happy to stay, or did she act like she was acting like this on purpose in front of people? Douhuang's mind will not be so simple, which means that this girl can not only pretend, but also has a deep scheming, so it is better to be careful in the future.
When I came to the old lady's house, not only was she immortal, but even Lin Xinhui, who often used the excuse of taking care of the children as an excuse not to come to the province in the morning and dusk, was also there, holding a tea cup with a good look on her face, thinking that she was here to see a joke.
Changsheng on the side looked calm and calm, and when he saw Mingjing and Douhuang coming in, he gave him a knowing smile without a trace, Mingjing suddenly calmed down, and he thought that he had to explain to Changsheng well, lest she have any misunderstanding, but now it seems that it is completely useless.
He knew that Changsheng understood his mind, and he knew that Changsheng would believe him without much explanation.
Without waiting for him to finish saluting Douhuang, Lin Xinhui chuckled exaggeratedly and said, "Yo, Douhuang, what rouge did you use this morning, the color is so good?" It looks so cute, in the end, he is young and fresh, no wonder the third master has delayed coming until now, we have been here for a while. Hey, men are like this, wives have always been inferior to concubines, I now have children and daughters, everything else is enough, I just want to raise children well. Brother and sister have to think about it, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention for the sake of the heirs......"
"Second sister-in-law Xie cares, there is nothing that Changsheng can't think about, whether it is a major matter for the heirs, or the three wives and four concubines of the man's family, Changsheng will learn from the second sister-in-law to be generous and tolerant, and the second sister-in-law can rest assured."
Lin Xinhui was choked back by Changsheng's neither soft nor hard, and suddenly became embarrassed and wanted to refute it, but she couldn't remember what to say, so she had to say stupidly: "It's good that my younger brother and sister can think about it, and I'm relieved to be a sister-in-law, and my mother will be relieved."
Changsheng chuckled and was silent, the Ming and Qing dynasties were good and shameless, although there are not a few concubines in the second room now, but at most there are eleven at the same time, and then counting the ones that were sent away, sold, and dead, there were twenty-seven or eight concubines in the Ming and Qing dynasties, not counting those who hooked up and raped outside or raised them outside the house, Lin Xinhui has been crying and tearing with the Ming and Qing dynasties since she entered the Xie family, and the second room used to be the biggest joke of the Xie family, no matter how bitter and sarcastic she was to others, she couldn't cover up the jokes that the second room once made.
The old lady saw that Lin Xinhui was more and more embarrassed and kept finding faults, Changsheng did not quarrel or quarrel and was calm and calm, the advantages and disadvantages of the two suddenly became clear, and the old face couldn't hang up, and drank: "Okay, Xinhui, you go to see if Ming and Qing are up, if he packs up and lets him come over, I have something to ask him, your father's death day is coming, and some things need to be arranged in advance." ”
Lin Xinhui pursed her lips, but she didn't dare to make any more trouble, so she had to leave and go to Ming Qing, and glared at Changsheng like a demonstrator before leaving.
As soon as she left, she suddenly calmed down, and the old lady quietly looked at Douhuang's face full of spring breeze, smiled and said: "Speaking of Mingjing is an honest child, Mingqing is like seven or eight women in the house at his age, Xinhui just entered the door less than a month, he took the two wedding girls into the room, speaking of Mingjing but much more honest, so although your second room is clean, it is inevitable that it is too lonely, and it is also difficult to breathe. However, the current conditions at home do not allow it, so let's find a few more to help Changsheng when it is convenient in the future. ”
Without waiting for Mingjing to refute it, Changsheng Wan'er smiled and said, "Mother Xie is sympathetic to her daughter-in-law, and everything is in accordance with her mother's arrangement." ”
The old lady nodded in satisfaction and let them go. When he went out, Mingjing saw Douhuang carefully following behind, and didn't want her to follow and affect the couple to speak, so he said: "You go to the kitchen to take a look, just say that I have been a little hot recently, and my appetite is not very good, see if there are any appetizing dishes to dispel the fire, add one at noon." ”
Douhuang took the order, and Changsheng said funny: "Okay, you don't have to explain anything to me without her, there are things in the world, there are none, I don't believe you?" When did you become so mother-in-law? ”
