A bowl of medicine was fed into Du Hengshuang's mouth by Xiao Shihe one by one, forcing her to drink it without a drop.

After drinking the medicine, Du Hengshuang's little face was already like a peach blossom, red and pink, and there was a drop of medicinal juice left at the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Shiji leaned over, stretched out the tip of his tongue, and lightly printed it against the drop of medicine, and then lightly added, the tip of his tongue touched the corner of Du Hengshuang's lips, with a warm wetness, and the breath that she was very familiar with, like a feather gently brushing on her heart, making Du Hengshuang feel that half of her body was soft and sour.

With her plump pink lips slightly open, she looked at Xiao Shiji in confusion, and her dark eyes had discomfort and trance for this strange tide, which made her peony-like cheeks have an indescribable charm that is natural.

And she didn't know her charm at all, but was even more tempting.

Xiao Shiji couldn't take his eyes off it, he couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and said in a dumb voice: "...... Frost, you're so pretty......"

Du Hengshuang immediately felt that the bitter taste in his mouth became sweet, smiled and took the medicine bowl from Xiao Shiji's hand, got up and opened the curtain, and was about to get out of bed. But she was weak, and she was a little excited just now, and as soon as she got out of bed, her feet were weak, and she sat down on her foot.

Xiao Shiji hurriedly got off the bed, stretched out his arms, and held her up around his waist.

The waist is as soft as a willow branch, so slender that the palm of one hand can wrap it over, and it makes the chest more and more full and swollen.

When Xiao Shiji saw it, he was distressed and itchy, so he helped Du Hengshuang to stand still in front of him, hung his head, buried it in her neck, and couldn't help sniffing deeply. It seemed that just smelling the fragrance of her body would calm his restless mood.

Du Hengshuang giggled and dodged to the side, "And brother, you make me itch so much." ”

"Itchy? How can you have me itching......" Xiao Shihe said stupidly, let go of Du Hengshuang, and took the medicine bowl from her hand, "I'll go, you go to bed and rest first, I'll fetch water and wipe your body." ”

Du Hengshuang said: "Don't be so troublesome. I'll go to the bath and take a shower. ”

"That won't work. You can't stand. Can you still go to the bath room? What if you fall asleep inside? — or. I'll help you wash ......" Xiao Shihe squinted at Du Hengshuang, and there was something wrong with his eyes.

Du Hengshuang took a sip of him, "It's not serious." Then he pushed him and said, "Go and take out the medicine bowl, and then call the little maid to fetch me water." ”

"What do you want the little maid to do? Or will I serve the young grandmother myself......" Xiao Shiji quipped. By the way, he kissed Du Hengshuang on the face. Then he took the medicine bowl and went out.

Xiao Shiji really did what he said. Without pretending to be someone else's hand, I personally went to the bath room and brought a large copper basin of steaming hot water, with a flannel scarf on the edge of the basin. It is used to wipe Du Hengshuang's body.

Of course Du Hengshuang refused, hiding in the curtain on the bed and refusing to come out.

Xiao Shiji soaked the square towel in water and wet it, then wrung it half-dry, and said with a smile: "Come out quickly, or I'll go in." When the time comes, I want you to look good. ”

Du Hengshuang couldn't do anything, so he finally poked his head out of the curtain and said, "You give me the square scarf, and I'll wipe it myself." ”

Xiao Shiji saw that Du Hengshuang was lightly angry, and knew that she was already annoyed, so he stopped teasing her and handed over the screwed scarf.

Du Hengshuang took off his clothes in the curtain and slowly scrubbed his body with a warm square scarf.

Then he handed the square towel out of the scarf, Xiao Shiji took it, moistened it in hot water again, wrung it half-dry, and then handed it in.

After a few times, I finally wiped my whole body.

Du Hengshuang was also so tired that he fell asleep on the bed.

Xiao Shiji took the copper basin back to the bath room, took another cold shower for himself, and then came out and hugged Du Hengshuang and fell asleep.

Although it was the height of summer, Du Hengshuang still had chills at night, and sometimes night sweats, so Xiao Shiji had to take care of her one by one, or hug her in his arms, warm her with his hot body, or use a dry cloth towel placed at the head of the bed to help her wipe the sweat beads on her back.

The two had a good night's sleep.

Before dawn the next day, Zhishu and Ou Yangniang came over to wake up Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shiji.

Today is the day of the banquet in the new residence of the Marquis of Zhuguo, and it is also the day when the Xiao family of the Marquis of Zhuguo Mansion appeared for the first time in front of the nobles of the family in Chang'an.

From today on, the Xiao family can be regarded as truly stepping into the threshold of the wealthy family.

Du Hengshuang slept heavily last night, and when she woke up in the morning, she was very energetic, sitting on the bed and looking at Xiao Shiji with a smile on the side of the bed, and said, "These things are done by the maids. You robbed them of their work, and I gave them a monthly payment for nothing. ”

Xiao Shiji smiled and said, "Hurry up and put on your clothes, what are you doing." After a while, I caught a cold in the wind, and I had to lie at home for a few days, and when I saw it, I wanted to say more and more that I was not considerate of you. ”

Du Hengshuang thought of Zhu Susu's appearance, tilted his head and smiled: "Su Su is quite interesting. She has a lot of ideas, which I always find out of place for the average person, but it sounds strangely reasonable. ”

Xiao Shiji helped Du Hengshuang get up from the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and bent down to put on the embroidered shoes with silk velvet soles that she wore in the inner room, "She is a person, there are good things and bad places, you can be careful not to be brought by her to the bad places." ”

Du Hengshuang covered his sleeves and smiled: "Then how can it? You didn't see Su Su with me, and you learned a lot of good things. ”

The two laughed and got up, and called the maid outside to come in and serve.

Xiao Shiji washed up first, accompanied Du Hengshuang to have breakfast, and went with her to ask Long Xiangye for peace.

Long Xiangye lives in the largest courtyard near the back garden in the east of the Hou Mansion, with a total of four entrances, called Cining Hall, which is the name of Long Xiangye himself.

There are two rows of gatehouses at the entrance to the courtyard, where there are rough maids and cooks who serve her, and there are two kitchens, which are the first to enter. In the middle of the courtyard, there is a heavenly maiden scattered flowers glazed shadow wall, bypassing the shadow wall, it is the main house of the hall of Cining Hall, which is the second entrance. There are three main rooms in total, all of which are open and have no partitions, which is unusually spacious and brilliant. There is an ear room on each side of the main house, which is for the maid and the maid who live at night.

Behind the main house is the third entrance, a small and exquisite courtyard, which is the house where Long Xiangye lives daily. There are bedrooms, warm pavilions, study rooms and pins, and four large rooms in a row. There are three wings on the east and west sides of the courtyard, which are flower halls for banquets and guest rooms.

There is a row of seven back cover rooms behind the third entrance, which is the fourth entrance, where the first-class maid and the second-class maid live beside her, as well as the housekeeper who has a good face around her.

There are also a few windowless warehouses in the southeast of the courtyard, and there are special guards to keep accounts, and put the private rooms she has saved over the years.

When Long Xiangye first moved in, he was overjoyed. I just feel that there are too many maids and women around me.

She used to be in the Xiao family. There are only two big maids, Mei Xiang and Herui, and a few housekeepers who talk to her.

But when she came to the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion, she was equipped with four first-class big maids and eight second-class little maids around her. Twelve third-class rough maids. There are also four housekeepers. Eight rough envoys, and two cooks.

There are so many people, and she is the only one who serves her.

Of course, Long Xiangye is satisfied. But I also felt a little uncomfortable, and once complained vaguely to Du Hengshuang, saying that she was too big and big, and there was no need to spend so much money and use so many people. said that half of his subordinates were dismissed.

Du Hengshuang sent Ou Yangniang to push her back.

Such a configuration of the Marquis Mansion of the Pillar Kingdom is actually controlled by Ou Yangniang.

Ou Yangniang said that her surname was Ou, but in fact, she was surnamed Ouyang, and she was originally the son of the Ouyang family. Her ancestors made great contributions to the Ouyang family, so she gave her the surname Ouyang.

The Ouyang family, but a real wealthy family, is one of the wealthy families in Guanlong, and it is a famous queen family. Empress Ouyang of the former Great Zhou Dynasty, who was also the biological mother of Emperor Dezhen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the later Empress Dowager Ouyang, and now the former Empress Ouyang Zi of the Great Qi Dynasty, are all the daughters of the Ouyang family.

Ou Yangniang's parents were originally the internal and external stewards of the Ouyang family, she grew up with the old lady and learned the rules of the Hao family ten out of ten. Originally, I wanted to beg Mrs. Ouyang, and when she was too old, she would be released from the palace and find a husband by herself, but Mrs. took a fancy to her and asked her to be a maid for her son, but because she drank too much soup and couldn't have children, she didn't have a good time after getting married. After her husband died, she couldn't stay in her mother-in-law's house, so she let out a rumor that she wanted to be an adoptive mother for the daughter of a rich and noble family, and was later hired by Du Xiancheng to be an adoptive mother for her eldest daughter Du Hengshuang.

Ou Yangniang raised Du Hengshuang according to the rules of the wealthy family. It's a pity that the Xiao family's previous door can't reach the threshold of the family, plus Du Hengshuang always wants to calm things down, and doesn't want a big noise in the backyard for three days and a small noise for two days, so Ou Yangniang has a feeling that she has nowhere to go.

Now that Xiao Shi and the marquis have become a wealthy family, Ou Yangniang's belly is full of the rules of those wealthy families, which can really come in handy.

The maids and wives in Longxiangye Cining Hall were configured by Ou Yangniang.

Long Xiangye felt that she was restrained and uncomfortable, but she was pushed back by Ou Yangniang's words.

"There are family rules, and the country has national laws. The Hou Mansion also has the rules of the Hou Mansion, and it is governed by laws and regulations. If you don't follow the system and let the Hou Ye be convicted, the old lady will be at ease? Ou Yangniang's rules for moving out of the Hou Mansion made Long Xiangye speechless.

Daqi does have laws and regulations, which stipulate how big a house a few officials can live in, how many subordinates they can use, and even how many concubines can be accommodated.

For example, the "Six Classics" of the Great Qi Law stipulates that the prince can take 12 concubines, the county king and the first-rank officials can take 10 concubines, the second-rank officials can take 8 concubines, the third-rank officials can take 6 people, the fourth-rank officials can take 4 people, and the 5th-rank officials can only accept three people. The concubines mentioned here refer to the concubines who have been recognized by the government, and they all have certain names and privileges.

Of course, for such a thing as taking concubines, you can only stipulate the upper limit, and it is best not to accept it, if you want to accept it, you can only pay so much according to the grade. The rest, even if they steal the bed, cannot be considered famous.

The rules for taking concubines are different from those for servants. The servants and subordinates stipulate pomp and circumstance, which is a manifestation of the dignity and humility of the title, and it is not okay to abide by it.

Long Xiangye found that the higher his son's status, the more aggrieved his life became.
