Chapter 186: Sleepless Nights
That night, silent nightmares continued, and he dreamed for a while that he was accused by Qingliu of being a strict party, which made the world spurn; For a while, I dreamed that Yan Dang classified himself as Zhang Jing's party, and was sent to the capital by Jinyiwei with Zhang Butang, and was imprisoned in a dark prison, where he suffered all kinds of torture, and he screamed in pain: "I recruit, I recruit all ......"
It wasn't until a sudden light in his eyes and someone whispered in his ear that he was saved from the nightmare. When he opened his eyes suddenly, he saw that Rou Niang was looking at him with concern on her face.
As soon as he saw the soft face and the exquisite and luxurious gauze tent, Shen Mo breathed a long sigh of relief and gasped for breath.
Seeing that he was covered with cold sweat, Rou Niang quickly took a towel, soaked it in warm water, and gently wiped it for him. Under her gentle water-like soothing, Shen Mo's pounding heartbeat finally calmed down, and asked softly, "What time is it?" ”
Rou Niang glanced at the hourglass on the table and replied softly, "It's almost time, my lord." ”
"Only slept for two hours?" Shen Mo muttered, "I feel like it's been a long time." ”
Rou Niang said softly: "If you don't sleep well, you will feel that the night is long." ”
"Yes," Shen Mo sighed, "I can't sleep well tonight." He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but I disturbed your sleep." ”
Rou Niang hurriedly shook her head and said, "My lord is serious, it is the duty of a slave to take care of you, how can it be said that it is disturbing?" ”
He smiled silently: "It's almost dawn, and the surname Suo is not sleeping, so why don't you talk to me with me." Seeing her sitting on the edge of the bed, with only a white gauze on her body, she kicked the quilt and said, "Let's cover one head for each other, don't freeze." He has already made up his mind, and the fat that is delivered to his mouth will not be eaten for nothing. However, he is reluctant to use force, because for men who are nearly middle-aged in their mental age, they enjoy the ambiguous process more.
Rou Niang couldn't imagine that Lord Shen, who had always been polite, would make such an abrupt invitation, and she couldn't help but be ashamed and afraid...... Although I knew that it was sooner or later, but after all, it was the first time, and my body didn't obey the call at all, and I couldn't help curling up in the bed, trembling: "The slave is not cold......
"If you are told to cover it, you will cover it." Shen Mo saw that she was really nervous, and said in her heart that she must not surrender too early, otherwise it would not be fun, so she tightened the quilt, wrapped herself, and pretended to be casual: "It's snowing today, and it's still quite cold in the house." ”
His pretentiousness made Rou Niang embarrassed, and he said in his heart: "It seems that I want to go wrong, but Lord Shen is a righteous gentleman who does not sit still." Only then did a crumpled heart relax, and said softly: "The slave maid will add another warm cage to you." As he spoke, he was about to get out of bed, but was stopped by Shen Mo and said, "Don't stir up the crowd at night, it won't be cold if you get into the quilt." "Make the house look like a steamer, how to play the trick of 'sleeping together'?
Rou Niang had no choice but to get into the quilt from the other end of the bed, wrapping her body tightly, and didn't even dare to lift her head.
The big quilt is also big, although the two of them sat on their feet, but no one could stand anyone, and said silently: "You don't even raise your head, how can we chat?" ”
Rou Niang raised her head slightly, and said softly with a flushed face: "The slave doesn't understand anything, I'm afraid of sweeping the interest of adults." ”
Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "You know that Wang Gong and Su Shi are not ordinary women, how can they say that they don't understand anything?" ”
Hearing his words, Rou Niang just raised her head, lowered her head again, and said faintly after a while: "The family is broken, and there is no home." ”
Seeing her sad expression, Shen Mo stopped asking, and comforted softly: "It's always over, we still have to look forward." ”
Realizing her gaffe, Rou Niang hurriedly wiped away the tears in her eyes with the back of her hand, and said with a forced smile: "The slave is really damned, it makes the adults unhappy." ”
Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "It's not in the way." Then she asked her what books she had read, and Rou Niang said softly: "I read them when I was a child, and girls don't expect to go to school, and reading books is only for fun, so I read very miscellaneously, and I can't talk about it for a while." ”
Shen Mo pointed out with his chin and said with a smile: "Have you read all the books on the shelves?" ”
A trace of panic flashed on Rou Niang's face, and when she saw that Lord Shen was still smiling, she relieved herself and stuck out her little tongue and said, "How do you know?" ”
Shen Mo smirked: "I have seen pale red marks in several books, I guess you inadvertently scratched them when you read the book." As he spoke, he glanced at Rou Niang's jade hand exposed outside the quilt, but he couldn't help but be stunned. I saw that in the dim light, the delicate and slender little hands appeared crystal smooth, as soft as boneless, and under the pink impatiens juice on the nails, they looked as white as snow.
Rou Niang noticed her hot eyes, and involuntarily withdrew her hand, and immediately realized her identity, so she had to endure her shame and stop her hand outside the quilt to let him see enough. Unexpectedly, Shen Mo's face became thin, and he smiled with embarrassment: "Look, it's you who drew it." ”
Seeing him look away, Rou Niang also breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered: "The slave has been in this courtyard since she entered the mansion, and no one has ever arranged things, so she scattered, please forgive me." ”
Shen Mo smiled and said: "Didn't I give the monthly money, please forgive me for that crime?" He said in disbelief: "You mean, this is the first time you've served someone since you got here?" ”
Rou Niang nodded and said, "One year here, plus two years in Nanjing, there is basically nothing to do." ”
Shen Mo was surprised: "I want to come to the Governor's Mansion to work for what you said, there is such a good errand in the world?" ”
"Adults are really good at laughing." Rou Niang covered her mouth and smiled: "Of course not everyone is like this, but only us ......" said with a gloomy expression, then swallowed the original words into her stomach, and turned to a low voice: "Anyway, it will be impossible to be so idle in the future." ”
Silent knew what she meant...... They are specially cultivated in the house, and they are used to accompany the personal maids of distinguished guests, they have to be pure virgins, but they must also be able to understand the amorous style, have style, are naturally precious, and will not be moved easily. But after one time of companionship, she is no longer entitled to stay here, but has to do all the rough work of and urine, laundry and sweeping the floor, like ordinary maids, as if falling from the sky to the ground.
Thinking of this, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and said in his heart, 'You can't ruin the good life of other girls for the sake of overnight happiness.' Overall, he is a person who can restrain himself, and although he was a little macho in his previous life, he can be regarded as a friend of women compared to the men of this era. Even if he is already a human being, he still can't treat the female surname as a plaything, so he can't help but consider the impact on Rou Niang. After pondering for a while, he said softly, "Don't worry, I won't touch you, so that you can continue to read your books leisurely." ”
Hearing his warm words, Rou Niang's tears burst out of her eyes, and she covered her face tightly with a brocade quilt and cried silently.
Her performance made Shen Mo very stunned, he thought that she should at least thank himself if she was not happy, why did she cry so sadly?
Fortunately, she didn't cry for long, Rou Niang realized that she didn't have the right to cry, she wiped away her tears, got off the bed, knelt in front of Shen Mo, and said with the greatest courage: "The adult's kindness slave and maid have it, but the slave maid is such a life, she can get past the first day of junior high school, and she can't pass the fifteenth, rather than being ruined by someone unknown in the future, it's better to be, it's better," her face was as red as a boiled shrimp, and the rest of the words couldn't be said anyway.
But there are some things that need not be said to understand, seeing her kneeling on the ground and begging for her favor, Shen Mo did not have the slightest pride, but was full of pity...... If in that era, a beautiful woman like Rou Niang must have been loved by thousands of people, but now she can only accept the fate of being lower than grass, and she has no right to choose.
Sighing secretly, he stretched out his hand to help Rou Niang, who was kneeling on the ground, then withdrew his hands and said softly: "You and I can talk at night, and it is also a wonderful fate." That's it, let this official help you as much as possible. ”
Rou Niang raised her head and looked at Shen Mo in disbelief, but he didn't say a word or anything...... As everyone knows, Lord Shen is secretly regretting it, and scolded in his heart: "If you can make a beautiful piece so noble, why are you so ruthless to women?" ’
When it was dawn, the two of them got up as if nothing had happened, serving as if nothing had happened. I was having breakfast, and I heard a burst of chatter outside, and after a while, Rou Niang brought in a little girl who was carved in pink, and it was the cute little Aman.
As soon as he saw her, a heartfelt smile appeared on his silent face, but he still had millet porridge in his mouth, and he had to swallow it quickly to say hello.
Ah Man is a polite and good boy, and he was very happy when he saw Shen Mo, his eyes narrowed like a crescent moon, and he said crisply: "Uncle, you are early." ”
The smile froze on the silent face, he almost didn't choke to death, and regardless of the fact that there was something in his mouth, he squirted: "Am I that old?" ”
Ah Man was so frightened that he hid behind Rou Niang, and Rou Niang quickly explained: "My lord, this is Mrs. Wa's little granddaughter, and she said she was going to roast ...... Birdie. ”
Shen Mo used her to introduce him, and quickly got up and apologized to Ah Man, saying that he was choking just now, so he spoke so loudly.
Ah Man said timidly: "Then can we go roast the birds, uncle?" The boy had not recovered from his fright.
Shen Mo naturally didn't dare to make a loud noise, so he had to put on the most kind smile and said, "Call me big brother, don't call me uncle, okay?" ”
"Okay, uncle." Ah Man nodded seriously and said, "Can we go roast the bird now?" ”
