Chapter 233: Rare Guest
The day after the wedding, Bai Youhan got up early to wash, and she carefully washed herself three times from the inside to the outside, but she still felt dirty.
Tu Gang, who didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning, stretched out his hand and touched the pillow, which was already cold. Hmph, after a tasteless wedding night, he didn't see the bride serving him diligently when he got up, and Tu Gang's dissatisfaction with Bai Youhan had another layer.
"Xiaoxiang, wait for Benhou to wash and change clothes!" Tu Gang called for his personal maid.
The maidservant girl named Xiaoxiang twisted the waist of the water snake and entered the house without hurrying. It looks like he's in his early twenties, and he's obviously been on an errand in the Hou Mansion for some years. She put the hot face towel on Tu Gang's face, and said with vinegar: "Yo! Hou Ye still remembers Xiaoxiang? I thought you had forgotten about the slave maid! ”
"How could I have forgotten the 'gentle and considerate' little Xiang'er? No one can forget you! Tu Gang smiled evilly and pulled Xiao Xiang into his arms and put his hands up.
"Master Hou, let go of the slave and maid quickly! How bad is it for the new lady to see? Your lady has a big temper! Although the woman refused, her body was tired of Tu Gang's arms without moving, and she even boldly wrapped her hands around the man's neck.
"What, she's angry with you?" Tu Gang was slightly displeased, this slut, she wanted to block him on the first day she entered the house?
"She is a lady, I am a slave, and it is also true to be said two sentences." Xiaoxiang made a grievance of "what can I do".
"What did she say about you? You learn from the master, and the master will be angry for you! "This Bai Youhan is really against her! Could it be that the Gaiyi Marquis Mansion is going to change its surname to Bai?
"It's nothing, it's just that when the slave maid was waiting for his wife to change her clothes this morning, she thought it was a wedding celebration, so she picked out a festive rose red jacket. But the lady didn't like it, and preferred to wear the moon white cotton dress she brought herself. The slave felt that it was unlucky for the newlywed to wear white, so she reminded her twice. Slaves are also kind, aren't they? But the lady was not happy, and scolded the slave and maid for not knowing the rules! Xiaoxiang pouted and coquettishly. Although she is not too young, she is much more tender than Bai Youhan. Therefore, making such a little daughter can still attract Tu Gang's love.
"Grandma, she's cursing me to death!" On the day of the big day, wearing white clothes makes it look like mourning, isn't it a curse on him? "No! Lao Tzu is looking for her to settle accounts! "When you speak, you have to push Xiaoxiang away.
"Don't! You just went, she must have known that it was the slave who sued her! I don't know how to take revenge on the slave and maid! Ask the master to take care of it, don't make trouble for the slave and maid. Xiaoxiang pressed Tu Gang back again, buried his head in his chest and pretended to sob.
"She dares! I don't believe that I can't cure her! Xiao Xiangdon't cry, this breath is ready to come out for you! Smelling the smell of fat powder on Xiaoxiang's body, Tu Gang couldn't help but feel ape.
"Master pities Xiaoxiang, Xiaoxiang understands. But Xiaoxiang is just a slave after all, how many eyes have she made with her master all day long? As the saying goes, the name is not justified, and you can see the attitude towards slaves and maids when the first two ladies were alive...... "She used her fingers to draw circles on Tu Gang's chest, she mentioned this matter more than once or twice, but Tu Gang didn't take it to heart every time.
Xiaoxiang was originally the first lady's dowry, and Tu Gang's first marriage was soon accepted as a roommate. But the lady guarded her and did not allow Tu Gang to carry her as a concubine; finally waited until the lady died of illness, and the new stepwife was a powerful master, and she was even not allowed to serve her closely...... After going back and forth like this, the matter of raising concubines was completely shelved. Now, the second lady has been dead for more than a year, and the new lady is an unpleasant one, so she just took this opportunity to bring up the old thing again. Maybe without the blockage of the main room, this time it will be able to succeed in one fell swoop?
"Oh, I know, don't you just think about raising a concubine? I promise you. Anyway, the old woman didn't dare to object. "I really don't understand, is it so important to be right or not? Isn't it okay for two people to have fun together? It's really boring to care about those false names! Tu Gang was so entangled by Xiaoxiang that he lost interest, and pushed him down his thigh: "Get up, the master is going to do 'business'!" ”
Xiao Xiang, who was pushed aside, glanced at her mouth disdainfully, and said in her heart, what else can you do? However, the joy of the wish of the strange words is still clearly discerning: "Wrongdoer! ”
Tu Gang's so-called "business" is to find trouble with Bai Youhan.
Bai Youhan, who had nothing to do, was pruning plum blossoms in the yard at this time, and several beautiful white plums were already in the basket under his feet. Later, she will take the plum blossoms back to her room and use them as vases.
Tu Gang rushed to him like a gust of wind, kicked over the flower basket, pushed Bai Youhan heavily with one hand, and said angrily: "Stinky woman! Wearing 'mourning clothes' and cutting some white plum blossoms, I really hope that Lao Tzu will die early, right? ”
"If you have something to say, just speak, don't do it?" Bai Youhan rubbed his shoulder that was pushed and hurt, and gave Tu Gang a white look.
This Tu Gang, seeing that he is also a thirty-year-old person, why is his temper like that of a child, and he is in a hurry? Bai Youhan glanced helplessly at the white plum that was trampled into mud, and the good flowers were trampled down, but it's a pity!
"You're not happy anymore? Lao Tzu asks you, why do you wear white clothes on the big day? Tu Gang was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.
"Big joy? Where does the joy come from? Bai Youhan thought it was funny, he shouldn't have said that their marriage was a happy event, right? She waved her hand in disgust: "I'm used to it on weekdays, and besides, I'm 'old' and can't wear those bells and whistles." She deliberately accentuated the word "big" to satirize Tu Gang. However, she also expected that Tu Gang would definitely not understand the straw bale.
"You're pretty self-aware! But Ben Hou doesn't like to see someone wearing white, so you go and change into something else. Tu Gang's tone of order made Bai Youhan very unhappy, but she didn't want to do any more confrontation.
Just as Bai Youhan was about to go back to the room, Xiao Xiang ran in from outside the courtyard, and passed the word as she ran: "Master Hou, Mrs., there is a person outside the door who claims to be Madame's old friend, asking to see Madame." After finishing speaking, Xiao Xiang still looked at Bai Youhan with disdainful eyes.
"The deceased? Did she say what her name was? "Bai Youhan has lived in seclusion in the deep palace for half his life, and his friends are even rarer.
"It is said that it is called Hongyang, and it is a subordinate of Madame from the former palace." Xiao Xiang saw that the woman who called herself Hongyang was about the same age as her, and she looked smooth and slippery, and she was really still a water and rice raiser in the palace.
"Ah, it's her! Please! The original cast of the once famous "Flame and Sun" dance, now only Hongyang is still left in the palace.
"Cut, what guest, is it worth your excitement to be like this?" Tu Gang didn't think so, but he was also a little curious, so he simply followed Bai Youhan to the side hall to meet guests.
As soon as Bai Youhan entered the living room, he was hugged by the oncoming Hongyang.
Hong Yang's head was tilted on Bai Youhan's shoulder, and he looked like he wanted to cry: "Aunt Zhangwu!" Hongyang misses you! ”
Bai Youhan was first stunned by Hongyang's enthusiasm, and then hugged Hongyang back. She doesn't remember how close their relationship has become? Is it because after she left, the new Zhang Wu was difficult to get along with, so he missed her so much?
"Girl, why are you here?" Bai Youhan didn't want anything else for the time being, and only asked her why.
"My aunt got married, and Hongyang came to congratulate her. Although he should have come to ask for a cup of wine yesterday, Hongyang's identity is really not qualified to attend the wedding banquet of the Hou Mansion. So, I took a leave of absence to see my aunt today! Hong Yang happily held Bai Youhan's hand, and the joy she revealed was truly from the heart.
But Bai Youhan didn't understand, she got married, what was Hongyang happy about? She didn't believe that Hongyang was happy for her, and besides, there was really nothing to be happy about in this marriage.
"It's not too late today! The girl wants to beg for wine and food, and it's never too late! There is nothing else in the Hou Mansion, but there are a few jars of good wine! Xiao Xiang, go and take out the high-grade Qili incense in the wine cellar, and let Master Hou and I entertain this 'good friend' of the entertaining lady!" Hehe...... "Tu Gang, this anxious pervert, flew as soon as he saw the red soul!" At this time, he was still salivating, and wanted to step forward to shake Hongyang's hand, but Hongyang avoided it without a trace.
"Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, I won't drink the wine. I just want to talk a few words of gossip with my wife alone, I wonder if Master Hou can avoid it? Hong Yang tried his best to maintain his politeness, and he had already scolded this beast hundreds of times in his heart!
How can such a turbid thing be worthy of the noble and proud Bai Youhan? Not to mention that Bai Youhan is only thirty-five years old, even if he is fifty-three years old, he will never look down on Tu Gang!
"What else is there that Ben Hou can't hear?" Boss Tu Gang withdrew from the inner hall unhappily, and when he walked to the outer hall, he suddenly stopped again.
Tu Gang is big, but his heart is small. He always wondered, is there something they have to keep secrets that he doesn't want him to know? Or is it to speak ill of him behind his back? Tu Gang was not at ease, so he quietly turned back to the door and listened to the corner.
The two people in the house had long expected Tu Gang's "villain's heart". But Bai Youhan has always sat upright, and he is not afraid of this guy eavesdropping; And Tu Gang's move was exactly in the hands of Hong Yang.
Hong Yang bowed to Bai Youhan dignifiedly, and when he looked up at her, there was a slight struggle in his expression, and he felt a lot of guilt. Bai Youhan was puzzled.
"Auntie, this is a letter from the slave maid of the Qi Band. It's a pity that on the second day of the letter, such an accident happened to the master of Qi Ban...... The slave was afraid that you would be sad, so she never dared to take out the letter. Now that my aunt is married, it can be seen that she has also thought about things! The slave and maid were finally able to return these things to their rightful owners. Hong Yang took out an old envelope and a willow-colored silk scarf with an inscription from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Youhan.
"What is this? Who is the Qi class master? Bai Youhan looked at the inscription on the silk scarf, and it was a little familiar.
"Auntie, don't pretend to be confused, there's no one else here. Qi Banzhu is naturally your good friend for the New Year, Qi Qingwei! Hong Yang tugged at the corners of her mouth unnaturally.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Where do I recognize Qi Qingwei? He ...... "Without waiting for Bai Youhan to finish denying it, Tu Gang, who was squatting outside the door and heard the angry "clang", kicked the door to pieces.
"Okay, you, you dare to cuckold Lao Tzu a long time ago!" Tu Gang was so angry that he felt that there was a green piece on his head!
