Chapter 23 How good it is for the Manchus not to enter the customs

It was now around seven o'clock in the evening, and Lu Yuan and Erniu left the north room.

Lu Yuan walked in front, with the back of his hand behind his back, sometimes clenching his fists and sometimes spreading out in his irritable hands, and his palms were dry, wishing that a glass of water was poured in the palm of his hand now.

Or maybe you have a warm, soft hand to hold you, and then you can take advantage of the situation to embrace the owner of this hand......

Lu Yuan shook his head, he found that he couldn't help but start thinking about that aspect again, and he was busy taking advantage of the cool autumn breeze blowing across his brows.

But Lu Yuan could still feel that the autumn cicada that was not yet extinct was hiding in the grass deep in the courtyard, as if it was laughing at himself.

The second girl walked behind Lu Yuan, she was also very nervous, but more excited, after all, she could become the young master's roommate, which means that her character has been recognized by the master mother, and it will also make her father happy.

Coincidentally, at this time, Uncle Fei's figure appeared in the hall.

The second girl hurriedly shouted happily: "Dad! ”

Lu Yuan also hurriedly raised his head, and also found that Uncle Fei was in the hall, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle Fei, why are you coming to the main hall so late, why don't you light the candles." ”

"I'll come back and get some pen and ink for the original Zhonggui to watch the store, it just so happens that your north room and east wing are lit up, I am afraid of fire, so I didn't light the candle lamp, anyway, I can see it."

Uncle Fei walked out and explained with a smile.

According to the rules, a domestic slave like Uncle Fei can only stop in the hall, after all, it is the inner courtyard behind the hall.

Therefore, Uncle Fei's sudden appearance in the hall is not considered to have exceeded the rules.

Of course, Lu Yuan didn't care about this, he just glanced at Uncle Fei, saw that he didn't hold pen and ink in his hand, and didn't ask much, just smiled and said: "Uncle Fei, from now on, the second girl will go to my house, what do you have to say?" ”

Lu Yuan said this to naturally give Uncle Fei a chance to regret it, as long as Uncle Fei was reluctant to give up the second girl, he would not hesitate to put the second girl back.

"Oh, I'm also happy for the second girl, and I should thank my wife and brother for your fancy to my second girl, and I will kowtow to you!"

Uncle Fei was about to bend his knees as he spoke.

Lu Yuan hurriedly helped Uncle Fei: "Uncle Fei, don't be like this, Erniu, this girl, I have always liked it, and my mother also likes it, she is worthy of being the child you taught, and I will treat her well in the future." ”

Lu Yuan said and went back to his house, while Uncle Fei stood in place and educated Erniu for a while, such as asking Erniu to serve herself wholeheartedly and the main house in the future.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head after standing by the door and listening, and sighed in his heart, this evil feudal society would actually make a father happy because his daughter was a room girl for others, and even taught his daughter how to serve her husband and her husband's wife.

Of course, Lu Yuan also understands that in this ethical social system established by Confucianism, this phenomenon is very normal.

After all, if Erniu does not do her own intercourse, she will be considered by the entire Confucian society as having a bad character, which also means that the daughter raised by Uncle Fei is a failure, and only by doing her own intercourse will Erniu have a good reputation in this Confucian society, and it can also prove that the daughter raised by Uncle Fei is successful.

Therefore, Uncle Fei wanted to kneel down and thank him because he had accepted the second girl.

"How good it is for the Manchus not to enter the customs, the thought of having to keep a pig's tail to enjoy the benefits of feudal society is simply uncomfortable!"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but sneer.

The second girl also walked in at this time, only standing motionless in front of Lu Yuan, like a piece of wood.

But in less than two seconds, the second girl returned to her original state and asked Lu Yuan: "Young master, do you want to wash your feet or wash your body?" ”

"Wash your body with cold water."

Lu Yuan sat on the chair, his hands sliding back and forth on the smooth back of the chair, his legs awkwardly adducted for a while and stretched outward.

"Ah, with cold water?!"

The second girl shouted in surprise and hurriedly said: "Young master, this is already late autumn, and you will catch a cold when you wash cold water, so I'd better go and boil hot water for you." ”

"No, just use cold water and go to the fire, I'm very hot now."

Lu Yuan said and prepared to get up and go to the bath.

The east wing of the Lu family is equipped with a bath room, which leads directly to the open space behind the wing room, and the water after running the bath can be poured directly on the open space, either immersed in the soil, or drained into the yang ditch along the inclined terrain, and then drained to the main ditch of Fang Street outside the wall through the yang ditch.

At this time, Erniu had already discovered the location of the bathhouse first, hurriedly rushed in front of Lu Yuan, took two wooden barrels out with a flat shoulder, and then ran to the well in the courtyard.

The Lu family had no servants before, so basically Lu Yuan personally made two buckets of water for his mother every morning and put them in her house, while Lu Yuan would only use water in his own house when he used it.

Now Lu Yuanjian saw that Erniu had gone to fetch water for herself, so he hurriedly followed, ready to help Erniu.

But as soon as Lu Yuan went out, he saw that his mother did not go to sleep, but sat by the door embroidering, obviously observing when he and Erniu turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Lu Yuan naturally knew that he couldn't help Erniu fetch water, because this would affect Erniu's image in the eyes of her mother.

Lu Yuan had no choice but to go back to the house and take the dry clothes to change first, wait at the threshold, and wait for the second girl to carry the two buckets of water into the bathhouse, then put the dry clothes on the hanger in the bathhouse, and then help the second girl pour the water into the wooden bucket together.

Lu Yuanjian poured two buckets of water and it was almost enough, so he instructed Erniu: "You go back to the house first and stay here." ”

"Then what's going on, young master, the slave family wants to serve you in the bath."

As she spoke, Er Niu put her hand on Lu Yuan's waist and wanted to untie Lu Yuan's robe.

Lu Yuan hurriedly bent down and stretched out his hand to suppress it, and met frankly in front of a young girl, he still couldn't accept it at first, and hurriedly said: "Obedient!" Go stay in the house! ”

The second girl had no choice but to return to her house.

Lu Yuan saw that after the second girl left, he simply tied the door, and then took off his clothes and hurriedly immersed himself in the cold well water.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan couldn't help but shudder, he felt goosebumps all over his body, and streams of fiery air were leaking out wildly.

After Lu Yuan put on his new robe and returned to the bedroom, he felt more sage, and his thoughts finally stopped thinking about men and women unconsciously.

"Erniu, wash yourself, there is still a futon in the cabinet, you can hold another bed and cover it yourself, you sleep inside, I sleep outside."

Lu Yuan said a word and lay on the bed first, his face was facing the wall first, and he closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep early.

Normally, at this time, he would usually write something or draw some drawings, just in case the more time passed after the time, the more he forgot about the things of the afterlife.

But tonight, Lu Yuan ate the deer whip after all, although he temporarily suppressed the evil fire with cold water bathing, but in the end, the medicinal properties are still there, and a fourteen-year-old girl in the flower season is already likable, but the appearance is superior, even if the Ming Dynasty woman is conservatively dressed, she can also see that there is material, so the visual stimulation to people is already great, so Lu Yuan can only go to bed early now, he doesn't want to harm the second girl too hard.

Erniu said "oh" and went to boil hot water to bathe and wash, there is also a stove room for boiling water behind the bath, although Erniu said that she came to live with Lu Yuan for the first time in the east wing, but she also knew the configuration of the wing room after 14 years in Daming, so it was not difficult for her to find the stove room to boil water.

It didn't take long.

Lu Yuan smelled a hint of honey locust fragrance, opened his eyes unconsciously, and saw Erniu wearing a tulle coat and sitting on the dressing table at the foot of the bed to make up.

Erniu raised a pair of Hao wrists, untied the rope, and her long black hair sprinkled down like a waterfall, swaying between its narrow backs, like a March willow.

Then, the second girl picked up the grate again and began to grate her hair, her head tilted to the side, and a snow-white collarbone happened to be exposed, and she would move every time she raised her hand.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but watch, and unconsciously moved his gaze downward, only to see a touch of soft white being shallow in the seam of his clothes.

And the second girl didn't notice Lu Yuan's expression at this time, she only focused on her long hair, and then changed sides, and her well-proportioned figure was perfectly presented in front of Lu Yuan.
