Chapter 25: Out of the House
Mrs. Xiangguo looked at me stunned and said, "I didn't expect Miss Chen to be so frank. ”
I lifted the lid of the wine jar, held the jar with both hands, drank three sips in a row, and then wiped my mouth and said with a burp: "I have long wanted to break with you two in the open." I pointed to the cotton pillow on the table, "That's it, don't we both know it?" ”
Mrs. Xiangguo nodded and replied: "I was just suspicious at first, but then you drank three bowls of the abortion pill I sent in a row, and I was sure that you were not pregnant at all." ”
"You don't poke it, firstly, because you didn't catch my real handle, and secondly, you are holding Mrs. Xiangguo's shelf, and you don't want to tear it up with the two of us It's too ugly, making people see jokes, and also, it's also because of the face of King Qi's mansion, right?"
Mrs. Xiangguo smiled, "That's true." ”
"Today I showed my hole cards, put them on the table, and handed the handle of the knife to your hand, whether you stab this knife or not, it all depends on what you mean."
"Then what is Miss Chen's purpose?"
"My mother is in the hands of Princess Qi, before I rescue my mother, I must stay in Xiangguo's mansion, and when I rescue my mother, I will take her away and fly away."
"Miss Chen is willing to give up the glory and wealth of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
I have been fascinated by the drunkenness, completely unable to control myself, I looked like crazy lying on the table and cried, intermittently said: "Although I have no iron shoulders to resist morality, but I also know the truth that the husband can not win the ambition, you Xiangguo Mansion does not have a thing I can see, except for Su Molai, unfortunately, I just want to wander around the mountains and fields in this life, to be a happy and happy wandering chicken, he is contrary to my ideals, I have to cut my love!" ”
I cried and pounded the table.
I kept thinking of Su Molai's eyes as clear as a lake, and the gentle lines outlined at the corners of his mouth when he smiled.
Zixin asked in a low voice beside him, "Madam, what should I do now?" ”
Mrs. Xiangguo stood up and said, "Miss Chen is drunk, help her back to Yanyu Pavilion to rest." ”
"What about this pillow?"
"Throw it away."
Zixin asked in surprise, "Doesn't Madame dispose of her?" ”
"This girl is very smart, she throws me a folded card, but I don't know that this card is worthless."
Zixin said suspiciously: "Zixin doesn't understand what Madame means, since Miss Chen is not pregnant, then can't we justifiably send her back to the Qiwang Mansion?" ”
Mrs. Xiangguo did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "When will Mo Lai leave for Qianxi?" ”
"On the first day of next month."
Mrs. Xiangguo glanced at me who was lying on the table and pretending to be asleep, and said, "Just leave her until then." ”
I was carried by two maids, and stumbled back to the Smoke and Rain Pavilion along the way.
At the door of the Yanyu Pavilion, Su Molai was standing there waiting for me with a cloak in his hand, and as soon as he saw me, he immediately greeted me, took me from the hands of the two maids, and draped the cloak in his hand over me.
I snuggled weakly into his arms and looked up at him, he also lowered his head, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and complained softly, "Why did you drink so much wine?" ”
I smiled and replied, "I was happy to talk to Mrs. Xiangguo, and I drank two more glasses." ”
Su Molai said happily: "You agreed? ”
I looked left and right and said to him, "I'm so dizzy, you help me in and lie down for a while." ”
Su Molai took me in his arms, then strode into the inner chamber and laid me on the bed.
As soon as my head was next to the pillow, I started snoring with my eyes closed.
Su Molai held back his stomach to say, and when he saw me like this, he had no choice but to give up, he instructed Zhu Jin a few words, and left.
I lay on the bed until I heard Su Molai's footsteps disappear, and then I sat up with a "poof".
Zhu Jin was startled and almost screamed, so I quickly covered her mouth.
Zhu Jin pulled my hand away and said angrily: "What did the girl do, she suddenly sat up like a corpse, and scared me to death." ”
I wasn't in the mood to talk nonsense with her, so I hurriedly asked, "Do you know Zizhuyuan?" ”
"The girl asked, but the Zizhuyuan where the old lady lives?"
Old lady? "Sangkoku-sama's mother-in-law?"
"Yes, isn't there just this old lady in our house, why did the girl suddenly ask about Zizhuyuan?"
"It's okay, I just heard someone mention it, just ask, you go, I don't need you to serve here."
"Girl, Yugen is still waiting outside, saying that he is waiting for you to wake up, let me inform him, do you see him now?"
Damn!
I almost forgot! The matter of the jade pillar has not been solved yet!
"You go and prepare a well-fitting men's kaftan for me, and I'm going to go out of the house with Yugen to do something."
"Girl, can you go out of the house at will?"
I said angrily: "Go out without anyone stopping you, don't grind anymore, you will do whatever I tell you to do!" ”
Zhu Jin saw that I was really angry, so I didn't dare to slack off, so I hurriedly went to get a set of moon-white robes.
While serving me to change clothes, Zhu Jin said: "The girl is in a hurry, I had to go to Yugen to get a piece of his clothes, you are about the same size as him, and you should be dressed appropriately." ”
Everything else is fine, but the sleeves are a little longer and the hem is a little shorter.
I tied my hair up, tied it up in a crown, and looked in the mirror.
Tsk, what a pretty boy, I go out like this, I don't know how many beauties I want to fascinate me.
It's been a long time since I've worn men's clothes, but it's still comfortable to wear.
I didn't avoid others, and led Yugen out of Xiangguo's Mansion with a swagger, and no one stopped me along the way.
Yugen is introverted and doesn't like to talk, he obediently follows me out of the house, and he doesn't ask where to go or what to do, just a step behind me, I stop and he stops, I go, he follows.
After walking for a while, I couldn't hold back myself.
I stopped and looked back at him.
He immediately stood upright, bowed his head and chest, and crossed his hands on his stomach.
I took a step forward and he took a step back.
I said impatiently, "Stand there, don't move!" ”
I took another step forward, and he didn't move.
I lifted his chin with the folding fan in my hand, and he lowered his eyes from me, and I ordered, "Raise your eyes, look at me!" ”
Yugen Yiyan opened his eyes and looked at me with a bewildered expression.
I moved the handle down and pointed it on his chest, "Hold up!" ”
Tamagen stretched his shoulders and straightened his chest.
I slapped him on the hand with a fan again, "Put your hand down." ”
Yugen is very well-behaved, doesn't ask anything, and does it one by one.
"Remember, in the future, whether you are lying, sitting, walking or sleeping, you will stretch my neck out, and my spine will be straight, and then I will see you like that just now, I will see you once, and I will beat you once."
"Yes." Yugen was just about to bow his head when he was knocked on the head by me.
"Just say it and forget it!"
Yugen hurriedly raised his head and looked ahead.
I know that his servile nature can't be changed in a while, so I don't bother him anymore.
I walked forward and said, "Come along, walk side by side with me." ”
Yugen trotted two steps and walked up to me.
I asked, "I see that you have strong muscles, you should have been exercising for many years, have you ever practiced martial arts?" ”
"I was brought up by the turtle man in the brothel, he can do the kung fu of a two-handed and three-legged cat, and I learned some fur from him since I was a child."
"Have you ever fought?"
Yugen smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's often beaten, I don't know if it counts." ”
I replied with a serious expression: "Don't underestimate the beating, the knowledge here is not shallower than the kung fu used to beat people, how to defend, how to protect the vital point, how to see the right time to fight back appropriately, there is no teaching in the martial arts cheats, it has to be the experience accumulated by years of actual combat." ”
Yugen tilted his head to look at me and said, "Girl's statement is really peculiar, but it makes a lot of sense. ”
"I heard that Su Molai is going to lead troops to Qianxi next month, and now the military camp is recruiting, do you want to go?"
Yugen stopped, looked at me with shame in his eyes, and asked word by word: "My background can't enter the barracks, don't you, girl?" ”
I saw that the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his hands were clenched into fists trying to suppress his anger, so I should have thought that I was deliberately humiliating him.
It is true that slavery can be erased for money, but as long as you have entered the brothel and entered the excellent book of the church, you can't delete it for the rest of your life, all the people in that booklet, three generations can't join the army, can't even do business, even if a woman marries in the future, she can only be a concubine, and the children born can't even enter the family tree.
And the teaching workshop is under the jurisdiction of the eunuch chief Li Delai, he is the emperor's closest chamberlain, and the real power he holds in the inner palace is even greater than that of the queen, if the previous dynasty is the world of the Su family, then the world of the harem is he Li Delai.
Yugenqi's eyes were red, tears were rolling in his eyes, and he said aggrievedly: "Girl, I originally thought that you were different from them, but in fact, you also look down on me, right?" If that's the case, I'll go, and I'll go back to the brothel. ”
I couldn't help but sigh, this jade root usually looks old and serious, but after all, he is still young, and when something happens, he still plays with the child's temper.
I patted him on the shoulder, looked him in the eye and asked, "Yugen, do you believe me?" ”
Yugen replied honestly: "I don't know." ”
"I hope you can believe me, at least I have no ill will towards you, I just asked you if you would like to enter the barracks, and I didn't mean to humiliate you, if you think what I said offended you, then I apologize to you."
Yugen lowered his head and said in a low voice, "That's not necessary." ”
"Yugen, your background is not something you can decide, you have been sold into a brothel since you were a child, you were bullied, it is the injustice of this world, you have not done anything wrong, how can I look down on you? Think about it, since you entered the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, have I done anything to you, or have I insulted you verbally? ”
Now is the most lively time of the night market, there are people around us, and from time to time someone stops to see us, so I have to pull him to continue walking.
I continued to say to him as I walked: "You are younger than me, I treat you as my younger brother, so I want to plan a good way out for you, is it possible that you want to be a little girl for the rest of your life?" ”
Yugen shook his head and replied, "I don't want to." ”
"People go to high places, and their eyes have to look forward, and now there is such a road here, although it is not easy to walk, but we work together to work hard in a good direction, and it is not that there is no chance at all."
There were a little fewer people at this time, I turned around and grabbed Yugen's shoulder, looked into his eyes and asked, "Sister wants to help you, I don't dare to say that success is guaranteed, but I will do my best in my life, do you believe me?" ”
Yugen nodded firmly and replied, "Hmm! Now I believe it. ”
