Chapter 44: Purple Jade Pei

Rao Di stared at his deep eyes and smiled dryly.

Shen Zhu lifted her up from his arms and pinched her chin, "Fat." ”

Rao Tu smiled and said, "Eat well and sleep well." ”

Shen Zhu said "um", and said without saltiness: "It doesn't seem to hurt lovesickness." ”

"What about my lord?" Rao Tu hugged his neck and said slowly: "Are you lovesick adults?" ”

The two thin lips touched her soft lips lightly, his big hand lightly pressed against the back of her head, his forehead touched, smelling her breath, and after a while, he said slowly: "Do you look like me?" ”

Rao Tu reached out and touched his clear face, "Shen Lang has lost weight." ”

"The disaster in Suzhou is serious, and the people are suffering."

A strange light flashed in Rao's eyes, "Shen Lang obviously wanted Rao Tu to be sleepless at night, but he prevaricated with 'mourning the difficulties of people's livelihood'. ”

Shen Zhu looked reluctant to explain more to her, and said lightly: "A woman in the inner courtyard naturally doesn't know the suffering of the people. ”

Rao Tu stiffened and laughed, and pushed him, "The adult obviously looks down on the concubine!" ”

"Oh? What is Aro's opinion? ”

Rao Tu puffed up and said: "You and I are here in prosperous Jinling, the snow day stove cinnamon wine sweet cake, but the victims of Suzhou are worried about the lack of food and difficult to pay taxes, why didn't Shen Lang advise the saint to exempt them from paying taxes for three years?" ”

Shen Zhu smiled slightly, "Okay, arguing about these things is meaningless, it's not as simple as you think." ”

Rao Tu snuggled in his arms, Shen Zhu hugged her and closed her eyes and leaned on the quilt and said, "After walking all night by water, I am tired." ”

"Have you been to Madame? The concubine heard that the lady had been cold and had not recovered. ”

"I went, and I didn't wake her up when I saw her asleep."

Rao Di smiled lightly: "My lord is really distressed Madame, if this is me, I will definitely be picked up and scolded by you." ”

He opened his eyes again: "You still dare to speak?" ”

"Don't dare, how dare the concubine be jealous?"

"I see how dare you, she fell into the water, don't you stand on the boat and look very happy?"

Rao Di's heart sank, bit her lip, and said: "Since the adults know this, they should also know how she fell into the water, it has nothing to do with me in the first place, can't it be that you let me jump down to save her?" ”

Shen Zhu squinted at her, "Then what do you say about Ling Xiaoshun?" ”

"Concubines can't fall in vain, they must always make people with evil thoughts suffer a little."

Shen Zhu snorted, "I haven't said anything yet, why are you crying?" ”

Rao wiped a handful of tears and said sadly: "I thought Xiaoshun was an honest man, but I didn't expect him to be your dog's leg, I am sad." ”

Shen Zhuhan said with a smile: "How do you know it's Xiaoshun, wasn't there a Liu Xing on the ship at that time?" ”

Rao Di's eyes widened, and she thrashed him and said, "When did you hook up with the little girl next to me!" I don't follow! Never follow! ”

Shen Zhu seemed to be smiling and smiling at her for a while, and the fist fell on his chest, not painful, but a little itchy. After a long time, Rao's fist had no intention of stopping, Shen Zhu was afraid that she would stir up the poison in her body, so he had to catch her soft little fist, and said helplessly: "How dare I move your people?" It's enough of a headache to have you! It was Xiaoshun who told me. ”

Rao Tu pursed her lips and muttered, "Xiaoshun is your person, I won't take his boat again." ”

"Aren't you also my man?" He reached into her clothes and touched her waist, "Sure enough, the flesh has grown, I'll try, can I still hold it." ”

As he spoke, he picked up Rao Di and put her on the bed, gasping and said, "Very heavy! ”

Before Rao Di could say a word of rebuttal, she was covered with a quilt, and he tore off her shirt and rubbed her whole body in his arms.

Rao Tu beat him: "Isn't Shen Lang tired!" ”

Shen Zhu is not a person who gives up halfway, and he acted carefully, because he didn't dare to be too happy because he took care of her body, but he also went into the alley and tasted it, so he was satisfied and hugged her to sleep soundly.

I slept until night, and at dusk, the room was dark, and it was so quiet that I could see the time passing. He opened his eyes, and kissed her eyebrows and eyes on her bright eyes, "What time is it?" ”

"I don't know about the concubine."

He let out an "um-" and closed his eyes again.

Rao Tu pushed him and said, "Just now, Mrs. Pei called the girl to come and said that she had prepared a dinner party to catch the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

"Forget it, I just want to eat some porridge."

"Mrs. Pei gave you the dinner she worked hard for during her illness, if you don't go, you will break her heart!"

Shen Zhu cupped her face, "I'm going, aren't you sad?" ”

"The concubine wants to go too." Rao Tu laughed.

Shen Zhu glared at her, "What are you going to make a fuss about?" ”

"I want to eat!"

"No."

"Hmph, I can't see Mrs. Pei and you talking to me, I'm going to make trouble."

Shen Zhu looked at the unreasonable woman in his arms, and smiled smartly. His heart shook slightly, resisted the urge to bully her again, got up and said, "Clothes for me." ”

Rao Tu lifted the quilt and got up, stepped barefoot on the ground, and picked up his white jade robe.

Shen Zhu frowned and said, "Wear shoes." ”

Rao Di put her feet on the upper of her shoes, and while serving Shen Zhu to dress, she asked pitifully, "Can the concubine go to Madame's banquet?" ”

Shen Zhu glanced at her, "If you're not honest later, you wait." ”

Rao Tu nodded like pounding rice, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Shen Zhu sneered, and suddenly grabbed a strand of her hair, "You don't say that I forgot, you replied to me a few days ago, don't you dare?" I think you dare! ”

Rao Tu tilted her head and shouted, "It hurts...... It hurts ......."

The mountain ghost was holding an ice-cracked jade bottle with a plum blossom in it. Shen Zhu caught a glimpse of it, so he asked, "Do the plum blossoms in the house change every day?" ”

Rao said: "A plum branch is placed in this warm pavilion for one day, and the second day there will be only aroma, no air conditioning." ”

Shen Zhu didn't speak, a little distracted.

Rao Tu smiled: "What are you thinking? ”

He said: "I forgot, there is geothermal heat in this house, and the warmth will indeed ruin the cold fragrance of plum blossoms." Unlike the green tile cold house, the plum blossom can be supplied for a long time. ”

Rao Tu bowed her head and said nothing, dressed him well, put on a jade belt, and took a big red cloak with him and took a boat out of the plum blossom dock with him.

When he came to Fang Cui Yuan, Pei Shi stood at the door wearing a single shirt, the green silk was scattered, no fat powder was applied, and he lost a lot of weight during the illness, so that his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his eyes were scattered with blue and black.

Seeing a bright red body, Pei's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment, and then he was covered by a gentle smile: "My sister is also here, look at it like this, is it better?" ”

Rao Tu said gently: "The concubine has been cultivating at ease in Meihuawu these days, and she has been much better. Seeing that the lady is described as thin, it is not very good, and the adults will feel distressed when they see it. ”

Shen Zhu said to Pei's family: "It's cold outside, come in." ”

Pei Qingwei was stunned for a moment, seeing that he didn't have the intention of coming forward to help, she couldn't help but feel slightly cold in her heart, smiled reluctantly, and said, "I have prepared some dishes, all of which you like." ”

When the three of them entered the house, they saw that on the round table in the inner hall, there were a variety of dishes, all kinds of colors, flavors, and flavors, and they had spent a lot of thought at first glance.

Rao Di praised: "Madame has good skills, so many good dishes, it just dazzles my eyes." ”

Pei Qingwei said with a smile: "It's good if my sister doesn't dislike it." ”

"How dare the concubine dislike it, the concubine only has a shame, my thick hands will only cook some sweet potato soup and stew some yam sticks to eat."

Shen Zhu glanced at her and saw that she was stretching out a pair of slender hands with a sigh of great regret, so he said lightly: "Those things you make are indeed difficult to swallow." ”

Rao Di said "um", "No, only the concubine can barely eat, and others won't look at it, let alone eat." ”

A sentence choked Shen Zhu without saying a word for a long time, the sun fell and the mountain stream was difficult, and the things she made were rotten, but he disliked it and disliked it, and he still ate it.

Pei Qingwei looked at the two of them, and her heart was sour, but she could only treat them as if they were nothing, and greeted the two of them with a smile.

Shen Zhu looked at the table full of dishes, and said to Pei Shi: "Qingwei, you are still seriously ill, don't do these hard things in the future." ”

Pei Qingwei's eyes were hot, and she said sincerely: "It's nothing to do this for you." ”

Shen Zhu said: "It's just that this table is full, how can the three of us finish eating?" Suzhou is in drought, people's livelihood is suffering, the treasury has allocated more money, and even the palace is cutting the cost, and now the family can't go too far. ”

Pei Qingwei's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she was speechless for a while.

Rao Tu hurriedly smiled: "Yan Bing, you can't speak!" Madame didn't see you coming back, so she tried her best to make you happy. You are hard-hearted, if you don't appreciate it, why do you still reprimand? ”

Shen Zhu frowned, "I'll say a good word, what is a reprimand?" Biased to you so much interpretation. ”

Pei Qingwei clenched her fists tightly, she could hear it clearly, what she was calling just now was "Yan Bing", what was she, how could she call his words?

She smiled gently: "I heard that my sister went out today, where did she go?" ”

"It's just a casual stroll on the street, and when the northern mission arrives in the city, the scene is really magnificent. It's a pity that Madame didn't have the opportunity to see me. ”

Pei Shi smiled, waved his hand at the silver kettle of the girl standing next to him, and the silver kettle took out a piece of purple jade, "This is sent by the fifth prince, and it is said that Mrs. Rao left it in the Lulan Building today." ”

Shen Zhu's expression was already wrong when he heard the "Five Princes", and when he heard the words "Green Orchid Building", his face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Rao Di and said coldly: "You went to the Green Orchid Building, and you are still with Xiao Yanning?" ”

Rao Di remained silent, got up and walked to the silver pot to take the purple jade, greeted Xiao Yanning and his ancestor in his heart, turned his head to Shen Zhu and said, "I have been there, but not with the five kings." ”

Shen Zhu said lightly: "Dare to make up a word, you know the consequences." ”

Rao Di silently said in her heart: "Mountain ghost, you have to take the blame for this matter." He took a deep breath and said: "The concubine has nothing to do today, so I want to go to the street for a walk, but I don't know that the dead girl of the mountain ghost has to pull me to the music building to listen to the music, I was going to refuse, but I didn't expect ......"

"What didn't you expect?" He picked up a cup of tea and took a sip of it, looking calm.

Rao Di said honestly: "I heard the voice of the five princes, and asked if people would sing "Bodhisattva Man", and I was curious, so I went in to take a look, and also recruited a singer in the wing, called Jiuge. I asked her to sing Bodhisattva Man, but she didn't dare to. I was also very puzzled, so I asked her to change the song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", halfway through the singing, the string broke, I gave a reward of 100 taels of silver, and she withdrew. Just as he was about to leave, the wall suddenly collapsed, and a girl with no clothes fell in......"

Shen Zhu listened to her ramble a lot, his face was still faint, and he took another sip of tea, "And then?" ”

Rao Tu was not surprised at all when she saw him, so she gritted her teeth and continued: "Then I saw the fifth prince in the next room, and he was wearing less. But! I promise I didn't see anything, you know, how embarrassing it is to break people in broad daylight! I pulled the mountain ghost and ran away, never thinking about leaving this purple jade pei. ”

Shen Zhu sneered, "Bodhisattva? When you hear the five kings ask the Bodhisattva, you dare to look, Rao, am I too unrestrained to restrain you? ”

Rao Tu twisted her eyebrows and said: "The concubine swears, I really don't know what is strange about the Bodhisattva, and I ask for a banquet for advice." ”

Shen Zhu waved his sleeves, "You are bold, dare to visit the music building." ”

If Rao Tu said a soft and admitting mistake at this time, the matter would have passed, but that was not Rao's style. She lowered her eyes and said, "The concubine also came out of the land of fireworks. ”

When Shen Zhu heard this, the anger that had gathered in his heart finally broke out, he raised the teacup in his hand and splashed the tea on his face, and said angrily: "You go back for me and kneel outside the plum blossom dock." ”

Rao Di was splashed with tea stains, she glanced at Shen Zhu incredulously, raised her sleeve and wiped her face, and then a light smile floated to the corner of her mouth, "Okay." ”

Then he turned around, never looked at him again, and went straight away.

Shen Zhu looked out of the door, watching her red-clothed back fall into the darkness, he slowly sat on the chair, and with a bang, the teacup in his hand was crushed, and blood immediately gushed out from between his fingers.

Pei Qingwei was taken aback, held his hand and said: "Yan Bing, that's just a fireworks woman, if you are happy, you will spoil her for a few days, and if you are not happy, just ignore it, why hurt yourself!" ”

Shen Zhu withdrew his hands, looked at Pei Qingwei and asked coldly, "The purple jade was sent by the Five Kings personally?" I want to hear the truth. ”

Pei Qingwei chuckled in her heart, and nodded subconsciously, "The fifth prince gave it to the concierge, saying that it was in the Green Orchid Building." ”

He was slightly at ease in his heart, no matter what the idea of the five kings was, but since he personally sent it, it showed that his heart was quite open. He got up and walked towards the door, Pei Qingwei trotted a few steps and grabbed him, "Yan Bing, don't be angry with her, you're tired for a day, let's eat something first." I've smoked sandalwood in the house, and you'll have a good night's sleep with a shower. ”

Shen Zhu shook his head and said: "The northern envoy is here, the emperor ordered me to arrange the palace banquet, you settle it first, take care of it, don't bother all day." ”

His last sentence was said lightly, but Pei Shi heard the sound outside the strings, and couldn't help but let go of his hand, and disappeared into the dark by his figure in a daze.

She stood for a long time holding the door, tears rolling in her eyes, "Yan Bing, I've spent so many years for you, isn't it as good as a fireworks woman?" ”

The girl silver kettle stepped forward to support Pei's family, "Madame, don't worry, that fox is dissolute by nature, and sooner or later she will be disgusted by adults, so you don't have to take it seriously." ”

Pei Shi shook his head: "You don't understand, the eyes of adults are beautiful, but what they have in their hearts is that slut!" ”

Rao Di walked to the waterfront alone, Xiao Shun was waiting there, and when she saw Rao Di, she hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "Why did the girl come back so soon?" ”

Rao Di glared at Xiao Shun fiercely, raised her foot and kicked him in the knee, and scolded: "When will I come back, I am willing, and it has nothing to do with you as a traitor." ”

Xiao Shun was stunned for a moment, then understood what was going on, knelt on the ground with weak legs, and cried: "Girl, the adults said that they would be punished, forcing me to tell the truth of that day, if I don't say it, I will definitely die without a whole body......"

Rao Tu said coldly: "I hate people who don't have a firm position the most in my life, you kneel here!" After that, he jumped straight onto the boat, rowed to the opposite shore with the oars, and returned to the Plum Blossom Dock Warm Pavilion to ask, the mountain ghosts and willows and apricots were all taken away by Yang Qian, and Rao Tu couldn't help but sneer.

Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter saw that her coat was wet and her hair was still stained with tea leaves, so she couldn't help but be frightened and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Rao Di didn't let them pay attention, "You don't have to worry about me, go to the shore and show me, if you see the surname Shen coming, come back and inform me." As she spoke, she took off her coat and threw it on the ground outside, and ordered a basin of cold water to be brought outside, and she read a book under the lamp by herself.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter are inexplicable, so I have to do it.

The mountain ghost here is in Shen Zhu Academy, the little girl feels very desperate, she was called over inexplicably, and really interrogated about the music building, she said it in 1510, only to hide the fact that she pulled Rao Tu in, but somehow Lord Shen still sent an evil fire, and rewarded 30 boards.

This time, it was Yang Qian who was in charge, and the mountain ghost said: "First bring me a pot of soju and half a catty of beef." ”

Yang Qian was very embarrassed, and untied a wine gourd from his waist: "There is no beef, but there is still half a pot of soju." ”

The mountain ghost took the flask and drank a few sips, wiped his mouth, lay on the bench, bit a strand of hair and said resolutely: "Let's fight!" ”

Yang Qian's board was very loud, but it didn't hurt too much when it landed on her buttocks, and the mountain ghost couldn't help but wonder if the flesh on her buttocks had thickened.

After beating the mountain ghosts, the little girl can still stand up and walk.

Shen Zhu wrote and tore the papers, his eyes were staring at the words on the paper, but what he saw was the surprised and cold expression of Rao Di after being splashed on his face, he knocked the pen full of thick ink on the paper, got up and walked around the house like a trapped beast.

When the child was in the army, the two girls in spring, summer and autumn and winter looked at Shen Zhu's figure by the lake, and the two of them almost did not freeze to death. Qiu Dong stomped his feet and said: "I can't stand it anymore, let's follow such a master, it's better to be worried in the princess's mansion!" At least the princess can't see us, and she won't think about tossing like this. ”

Chunxia glanced at her, "I can't stand it if I suffer a little, now you think about the good of the princess's mansion, and when you go back, you miss this master again." ”

Qiu Dong pointed to a small boat in the middle of the lake and shouted, "Look, is that Lord Shen?" ”

Chun Xia squinted for a while, and hurriedly said, "Go back, go back, go back!" ”

The two girls ran back, Rao Di was drowsy, heard the footsteps, sat up with a bang, ran outside the door and saw Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, "The surname Shen is here?" ”

Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter nodded again and again, Rao Di hurriedly grabbed the cold clothes on the ground and put them on his body, while inserting his hand into the ice water next to him, he patted his face, and said to Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter: "You two, quickly take the water away!" ”

In the spring, summer, autumn and winter, the water was gone, and the two girls shrank in the stove room and did not dare to come out in order to avoid being harmed by the pond fish.

Rao Di knelt straight for a while, and sure enough, there were footsteps behind her, and one person sneered: "When did you become so obedient?" ”

Rao Di said lightly: "The adult punishes the concubine to kneel, how dare you not kneel?" ”

Shen Zhu stepped forward and kicked her ass with the instep of his foot, "Isn't your body stiff yet?" ”

Rao Tu pursed his lips and didn't speak, he squatted in front of her, stretched out his hand and tried on her shirt, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, as soon as he grasped her hand, it was cold and red, he stared at her red cheeks, frowned, and said, "Sure enough, kneeling for a long time?" ”

Rao Tu is stubborn.

Shen Zhu wanted to pull her up, but she said coldly: "The concubine can't get up." ”

"You don't know what to do?"

"The concubine doesn't dare, but I just have to think about it carefully, what is wrong, it is worth the adults to splash me in the face with hot tea."

Shen Zhu pinched her cold chin and looked at the dim light in the room, and it was not burned, and he felt a little relieved. Said: "The five kings go to the hook column, and every time they ask if they will sing "Bodhisattva Man", they have the meaning of recruiting people to sleep. You still dare to go in and see, is it ignorant or shameless. ”

"The concubine is ignorant and shameless." Rao Di talked back to him on the one hand, and at the same time she was shocked in her heart, she remembered that night when they met in the lake, and the five kings also asked her if she would sing Bodhisattva Man.

Shen Zhu listened to her rebuttal, stood up and said, "Okay, you are ignorant and shameless, then kneel well, I want to see how long you can kneel!" ”

He glanced at the two maids and mountain ghosts and Liu Xing who came with him, and coldly ordered: "Your master kneels here, she kneels for one moment, and you kneel for three moments." She kneels for an hour, and you kneel for three hours. ”

Yang Qian stole a glance at the mountain ghost, opened his mouth to ask for mercy, and Shen Zhu sneered: "If you want to kneel, I won't stop you." As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and entered the house, and slammed the door shut.

Rao Tu clenched her teeth, and the mountain ghost and Liu Xing knelt beside her left and right.

"Girl, you're really going to toss me to death." The mountain ghost has no strength to say.

Rao Di gave her an idea, "If you feel tired, just sit on your knees with your ass on your feet, and you won't find it." ”

The mountain ghost endured the huge pain in his buttocks, pursed his lips and did not speak.

Liu Xing's teeth chattered, "Girl, it's really too cold, we're good, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it." ”

"We're not good either." The mountain ghost grunted.

Rao Tu gritted her teeth and sneered: "He splashed me in the face, how can I swallow this breath?" He told me to kneel and kneel, and he told me to get up, why? ”

The mountain ghost sighed, wilting and speechless.

Rao Di knelt for a long time, her legs were numb, and her clothes were icy inside and out, and she couldn't help but tremble.

The mountain ghost gave Liu Xing a look, and Liu Xing deliberately raised her voice and said: "Girl, your face is white, your body is stiff like this, it is not well in the first place, what can I do if I get seriously ill if I freeze again!" ”

Rao Tu endured not to speak, in fact, she couldn't speak at all, her body was trembling before, and now she even struggled to tremble.

Shen Zhu exhaled heavily in the room, kicked open the door, looked condescendingly at the stubborn woman kneeling at the door, leaned over and carried her, wrapped his arms around her legs, and threw her on the bed.

Three or two times took off the cold coat, stuffed her into the quilt, and said to the outside: "Prepare for a hot bath!" ”
