Suzhou, weaving house, inner house.

It was already time to hold the lamp, Miaoyun washed her hair, draped her hair, and sat on the edge of the kang in a daze. Her parents followed her from the capital to Suzhou, and now she has received grace and works as a Zhuangzi steward outside the city, rarely returning to the city.

In this side of the house, although she gave birth to a daughter, Miaoyun's situation is not sad, she still lives in the original side courtyard, and she is also served by a maid and a mother-in-law.

There is no mother-in-law above, and the grandmother Sun is a kind person, one of the two mothers-in-law is over eighty years old, and every time she eats fasting to the Buddha, although one is still tough, but she is just taking care of her great-grandson and great-granddaughter.

Looking at the blue jacket in the sewing basket, Miaoyun couldn't sit still. She found a comb, tied her hair, changed her clothes and was about to go out.

Just when Xiangtong came in, seeing Miaoyun like this, she frowned and asked, "Little grandma still wants to go to the courtyard of the second old lady?" It's been a few days since I've been there! ”

When Miaoyun heard this, her eyes were already red, and she murmured, "Sister Tong, I want to meet Xiangyu, or I won't be able to sleep at night." ”

Even if Xiangtong herself is a beauty, she can't help but be a little shaken when she sees Miaoyun's beautiful demeanor.

It's not obvious, but the color is good. Now that she has given birth to a child, Miaoyun's body is a little plump, and her skin is so white and tender that she seems to be able to pinch out water, and Xiangtong can't help but be shocked when she sees it.

Fortunately, these days, Miaoyun is confinement, and there are no outsiders, which is quite peaceful.

Xiangtong has been by Li Xu's side for several years, and she knows her master's unscrupulous and unscrupulous surname. If Miaoyun falls into the eyes of the master, it will be difficult to dial it out.

Thinking of this, Xiangtong shook her head, looked at Miaoyun, and thought about how to mention her.

Although Miaoyun said that she was dressed in fine clothes and food, she was not a legitimate grandmother after all, and the only person she could rely on in the house here was Xiangtong, who had always been very respectful and dependent on her.

Miaoyun shook her head when she saw Xiangtong, but when she didn't follow, her tears couldn't be stopped.

The two have been together for nearly a year, Xiangtong thought about Miaoyun's appearance of touching her stomach and smirking for most of the year she was pregnant, her heart softened, and she said, "Even if you want to go, you have to dry your hair first." The wind is hard this night, although it is out of the confinement, it needs to be carefully maintained. ”

Miaoyun burst into laughter and whispered, "It's almost done!" ”

Xiangtong helped her to sit down in front of the dresser, scattered her hair, and helped wipe it with a towel for a while, before helping her to tie her hair in a bun and use a silver hairpin.

Seeing that Miaoyun had milk stains on her chest, Xiangtong sent the little maid to find a set of clothes, helped her change them, and said, "Squeeze it at night, it's not a matter of old wet clothes." ”

Miaoyun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sister Tong, when I get to the second old lady, can I feed Yu'er?" ”

Xiangtong listened, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "My good grandmother, and remember my identity." Although everyone is respectful now, and there is no master mother to serve on the second master's side, the little grandmother is a concubine without a name after all, so she must always remember her duty. When this girl lands, she has ** to serve, where do you need to feed? In the future, the girl will have the second old lady and the second wife to take care of her, which is much better than eating a few mouthfuls of milk from your mother-in-law. If you don't want people to chew their tongues behind their backs and say that they don't understand the rules, the little grandmother will stop thinking about it. ”

Miaoyun lowered her head and whispered a "hmm".

After cleaning up, Xiangtong picked up the glass lamp, and the two of them went out of the side courtyard together and went to Gao Taijun's courtyard.

Xiangyu's cradle was not in the house, and she thought she had already fallen asleep. Gao Taijun was bored and was sitting on the kang and playing cards.

Seeing Miaoyun come in, the old man put down the cards in his hand and beckoned Miaoyun to sit by the kang.

Miaoyun thought about her identity, didn't dare to take a seat, and sat on the small pestle by the kang.

Gao Taijun glanced at Miaoyun, sighed, and said, "God is pitiful, this is only a teenage child, it is really not a blessing." ”

Yes, even if Miaoyun is not a wife, but a family like them does not have a concubine aisle who has given birth to a child, after all, reputation matters.

Miaoyun secretly glanced at the place where Ping said had placed the cradle, not knowing how to respond.

Xiangtong stood behind Miaoyun and said with a smile: "Ancestor, isn't it a great blessing for our aunt and grandmother to have the protection of our ancestors?" Now there is a Buddhist shrine in the house over there, and my aunt and grandmother want to learn Buddhism from the two ancestors. ”

Gao Taijun has always been devout to the Buddha, and after listening to Xiangtong's words, his face was full of joy, and he said to Miaoyun: "You want to learn Buddhism?" This is the right reason, and we must always find a way to boil the day, so as to save the whole family from thinking nonsense. This is not a matter of three years and five years, how can it be so light to keep it for a lifetime? ”

Miaoyun nodded lightly, only then did she know Xiangtong's intention of asking her to study Buddhism. Since both old ladies believe in Buddhism, where can they please learn Buddhism?

She nodded obediently, but she didn't know what to say next.

Gao Taijun is old and well-versed in the world, knowing that she is worried about the child, he waved his hand and said: "Yu'er is in the warm pavilion, you go over and take a look, move lightly, don't startle the child!" ”

Miaoyun happily responded, got up and walked quickly to the warm pavilion.

Gao Taijun looked at Miaoyun's back and said to Xiangtong: "This child is the mother's detached flesh, who doesn't want to keep it by her side." It's just that this girl is good, in the end, her background is limited, and no one's sister wants to be raised by her aunt's side. ”

Xiangtong leaned over and said, "It's all the grace of the ancestors, this is a distressed girl." Otherwise, the girl will be raised by her aunt's side, but it will be easy to be criticized in the future. ”

Gao Taijun nodded, looked at Xiangtong and said, "Fortunately, you are a clever person, and you will take care of her inside and outside, so you won't suffer her." I saw that you looked good before, but when you were a thoughtful person, now it seems that the old body has looked away. Such faithfulness to the Lord will be blessed in the future. ”

Xiangtong hurriedly said: "It's all slaves and maids, and I don't dare to respond to the praise of my ancestors." ”

Miaoyun entered the warm pavilion, Xiangyu had already saved, and was held in her arms and fed.

**Seeing Miaoyun coming in, she wanted to get up, but Miaoyun was afraid of shaking the child, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Milk girl, don't get up!" ”

** I didn't get up and continued to milk Xiangyu.

Xiangyu has only been on the full moon for a few days, and she is not fat, but her small face is longer than when she just landed, white and tender, and she is a rare appearance.

In her swaddling clothes, she closed her eyes slightly, sucked hard, and ate very sweetly.

Miaoyun's eyes seemed to be glued to Xiangyu's face, and she couldn't move it, she only felt that her chest was swollen, which made people uncomfortable. The shirt on the front, after a while, was wet with a small dumpling ring.

**I didn't notice it, while breastfeeding the child, I muttered "how many times a day does the girl sleep", "I have to feed every hour" or something.

Miaoyun couldn't wait to snatch her daughter from her arms and hold her in her arms. But she just thought about it, where did she dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool?

As Xiangtong said, what kind of identity is she? Everyone held it up and called "Grandma", but it was just a concubine from a girl.

If she gave birth to a son, for the sake of the grandson, the lord could still lift her up and recognize her as a daughter-in-law. Now she is born a girl, except for Gao Taijun, who has always been charitable, who takes this seriously in this house?

Thinking about this, Miaoyun's face turned pale, and she didn't dare to look at her daughter. Her daughter is Miss Sun of the Li family, and she has been standing beside her daughter for a long time, but she has been delayed.

But she couldn't stand still, she just wanted to go back to her room.

Before going out, she glanced at her daughter again, saw that the little blanket on her body had half faded, reached out to pull it up, and then turned and went out.

Out of the outer world, Miaoyun didn't stay long, said a few words to Gao Taijun, and went back first.

Xiangtong saw that Miaoyun's expression was wrong, and when she got out of Gao Taijun's house, she asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, is this a distressed girl?" ”

Miaoyun shook her head and said, "I figured it out, having me as a mother is not a blessing for Yu'er." Although no one said anything to her face, she had to laugh at her behind her back......"

Xiangtong saw that she was too late, and said, "What is this called?" In a big family, which family doesn't have a concubine? Auntie and grandmother are too careful. Although the second wife is sick now, when the eldest wife's anniversary is over, she has to be corrected. She is the girl's own grandmother, and when the time comes, the two elders will take care of her, and she can still wronged the girl? Auntie and grandmother only care, and the slave maid first mentioned that, because she was afraid that her aunt and grandmother would forget her identity and attract the jokes of those people......"

The master and servant, one of them persuaded in a good voice, and the other bowed his head and said nothing, and when he walked to the verandah, he heard someone say, "What joke?" ”

But it was Li Xu's voice, Miaoyun only felt afraid, and hurriedly lowered her head and leaned over, but Xiangtong was so frightened that she almost dropped the lamp in her hand.

Under the lantern in the verandah, a person walked out slowly, and it was Li Xu, who wanted to go to Wen Taijun and Gao Taijun to ask the morning and dusk provinces.

This is still after Miaoyun gave birth, and when Li Xu saw her for the first time, she only felt that she was wearing a plain white gown, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

"It's you, this is going to the courtyard of the second old lady?" Li Xu asked kindly.

Miaoyun was blessed and responded: "Yes, master! ”

Li Xu listened to her gentle tone, and couldn't help but look at it twice, and under the swaying lights, the person in front of him became more and more graceful. His eyes fell on Miaoyun's chest, took two steps forward, and helped Miaoyun's arm, only to feel a faint milky fragrance, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

Miaoyun didn't expect the old man to come to help him personally, but he was a little flattered, raised his head, and showed a little panic, not knowing how to deal with it.

The appearance of such a fawn makes people feel more and more warm.

Although it was the end of August, it was hot in Suzhou, and Miaoyun was wearing a plain satin jacket. With Li Xu's support, Miaoyun's sleeves faded back, revealing her wrists as white as jade.

Li Xu laughed twice, his hands had already retreated to Miaoyun's wrists, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and now that you're out of confinement, how is your body conditioning?" ”

Miaoyun only felt that his wrist was rubbed by the old man, and he was frightened, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he didn't dare, his face was flushed with shame, and he whispered back: "It's done!" ”

In the past year, Li Xu has repeatedly lost his son and wife, and his body is a little unbearable. Therefore, I listened to the doctor's advice and quit being a woman.

Now, this body is better raised. He originally planned to change the maids in the house and buy some new maids to enter the house, but he didn't expect to meet Miaoyun here by chance.

Earlier in the capital, he saw that Miaoyun was in good color, but he didn't have the heart to look for flowers and ask willows.

Now, this wonderful cloud has been delivered to the mouth like a ripe peach, if you don't eat it, how can you be worthy of yourself?

Looking at Miaoyun's shyness, Li Xu's eyes turned around him twice, and his heart became more and more uncontrollable.

However, although he has already held the lamp, this corridor is not a place to succeed, so he put down Miaoyun's wrist and said lovingly: "You go back first, the master will come to see you in a while, and I just have something to say to you." ”

Miaoyun felt that she was too close to the master, and wanted to take a step back, but she was afraid that she would lose the rules and make the master disgusted, so she had to bow her head and respond.

Li Xu looked at Miaoyun's half of his neck, he really couldn't wait to touch it, he remembered how decent he was, smiled and waved his hand at Xiangtong, and said, "Wait for your aunt and grandmother to go back first, and the master will go to see you later!" After speaking, he went to Wen Taijun's courtyard.

Miaoyun was full of apprehension, turned around and asked Xiangtong, "Sister Tong, what does the master want to do to me?" But you think my status is low, and you want to drive me out of the house? Or are you afraid that I won't be able to keep it, so I will cut off my hair and fingers and swear to keep the festival? ”

Xiangtong saw Li Xu's behavior, and already knew in her heart that she was seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and she was afraid that she couldn't escape the palm of the old man in front of her.

This man loves women, and he also has to divide people. If you lose your humanity, there is nothing for men, but it is difficult for women to live.

I think that back then, before she didn't enter Beijing with Li Xu, she was also a little decent in the house, and she stayed in the capital for half a year, but when she came back, she could only be a person with her tail between her legs.

What is the reason, isn't it because she has followed the master and the second master successively, and no one dares to say anything in front of her, but she has to be scolded as a "silver woman" behind her back?

Although the old man is not a hungry ghost in the sex, he will not give up until he has a crush on someone.

What I want to say to Miaoyun tonight, I'm afraid it's a winding path leading to a secluded place, Wushan**......
