Chapter Ninety-Three: Ask Ji Feiyan
Hearing that Deng Shi said about the installation of the inner room, Pan Chong said cautiously: "It is not easy to keep a pair of our eyes in his mansion!" ”
Deng Shi said: "Didn't the lewd thief want Zhang Xiaomei, we will attack Zhang Xiaomei." ”
"Zhang Xiaomei already hates Taishi, will she help us?" Fat doorman said.
"Taishi feels sorry for the death of the head of the Pan Mansion, but I say that he is asking for his own death. I specifically investigated the cause of his death. He actually took advantage of Zhang Xiaomei's eagerness to beg him to save his little brother, and after deceiving Zhang Xiaomei's virginity, he wanted to kill Zhang Xiaomei again, which caused the righteous indignation of the two chivalrous people, so he killed him. ”
Deng Shi continued: "Aside from the manager, as far as Zhang Xiaomei is concerned, it can be seen that she will do whatever it takes for her little brother. Then, before she went to Zhongfu, take her to the capable place to see her little brother, and then tell her that if she does a good job, Taishi can protect her younger brother, and if she doesn't do well, Taishi can let his brother go to prison.
Besides, we don't want her to ask about anything. Every once in a while, when she is asked to see her little brother, as long as she tells us everything she saw in the Zhong Mansion, it doesn't matter if it's big or small, we can judge according to what she sees, whether Zhong Wuregret is a thief or a traitor with intentions. ”
"Okay, just do as Deng Shi said." Pan Chong made a decision immediately.
"In addition, the Taishi also has to secretly visit the chivalrous people who killed the chief manager, their martial arts are unimaginable, and they are likely to become a great threat to the Taishi, even King Mu died under that kind of strange martial arts, so please be cautious." Deng Shi said.
Pan Chong said: "That capable and fearless speaker, could it be because he knows those two chivalrous people?" ”
"As far as I can see, it is also possible that those two knights accidentally bumped into this matter, and out of righteous indignation, they killed the butler, as long as they don't provoke him, there should be no threat to us." Thin doorman said.
"There is truth in this, so you should be more careful in the future." Jin Eel said: "If those two knights deliberately make trouble for the Taishi, all of us here may be his target." Cut the wings first, and then hurt their bodies, we have to prevent it. ”
"That's what the military advisor said." Deng Shi said: "If this is the case, I still want to set a trap to lure him into the bait." However, this is a later story, we will still get the position of defeat first, and then talk about other things. ”
Because of the competent recommendation, there was no suspense in everything, Pan Chong got the position of secretary very smoothly, and he also released Zhang Xiaomei's sister and brother as agreed. Zhang Xiaomei arrived at Zhongfu, and Zhang Xiaohai went to the capable mansion to grow vegetables for the capable servants.
Zhong has no regrets and will be able to marry back to the mansion if he is satisfied.
On the night when he returned to the mansion, Zhong Wuregret took his "mandarin duck bath" first according to the custom.
Zhong Wuregret is already accustomed to nature, but he can't stand it. As soon as Zhong Wuregret took her into the bathroom, as soon as she undressed, she was so frightened that she was about to run.
In the spring and autumn, the Zhou rites were practiced in many ways. can read poetry and books to the fullest, and pay attention to etiquette, she never dreamed of what kind of "mandarin duck bath" she could take.
At that time, bathing was not only a simple removal of dirt from the body, but also a solemn ritual, and it was also a very important etiquette for people's faith and spiritual life. Therefore, there is a saying that "bathing the body and bathing in virtue, rather than bathing in water, rather bathing in virtue".
As early as the Shang period, the founding king of the Tang Dynasty engraved the nine characters "Gou Rixin, Ri Ri Xin and Ri Xin" on the bathtub he bathed. Its intention is to remind yourself that taking a bath is not only to remove the dirt of the body, but also to cleanse the heart, develop a clean virtue, and cultivate the mind even more in self-cultivation. Fortunately, Zhong Wuregret didn't know these words of the supreme ruler, otherwise, it would be linked to language such as "today's success".
The "Zhou Li" clearly stipulates that the hair is washed once every three days and bathed once every five days, and bathing is listed as a compulsory course for the nobles. Even the bathing procedure has been carefully regulated: two bath towels should be used when bathing, a fine kudzu cloth towel for washing the upper body, and a coarse kudzu cloth towel for washing the lower body. When you get out of the bathtub, you should stand on the straw mat, wash off the dirt on your feet with hot water, then stand on the mat, dry your body, put on your clothes, put on your shoes, and drink water.
Because of the difference between husband and wife, they cannot share a bathroom.
Moreover, bathing has reached the point of sacredness, and the Son of Heaven must fast for three days, bathe and change clothes in major activities such as enthronement, succession, memorial, and Kaiyuan, and "the ministers have to rest and bathe for five days", indicating the importance of bathing to the appearance of the eunuchs, and the respect of people for heaven and earth.
Nengyu grew up under the influence of this etiquette, and suddenly saw men and women naked, it was strange not to faint, especially looking at the woman in white and Bingxin, dressed in almost transparent tulle waiting for her and Zhong Wuregret to take a mandarin duck bath, she was so scared that she almost went into shock.
Zhong Wuregret had no choice but to let the woman in white and Bingxin step down and serve Neng Yan in person.
He pretended to sit by his Huaqing pool with Nengqian and chatted, Hu Kan's admiration when he first met Nengyu in the "Luming Garden", and after Nengji relaxed slightly, he "accidentally" rolled into the pool with Nengji.
When Neng was soaked in the pool and her whole body was soaked, Zhong Wuregret thoughtfully took off her clothes in the water, and in the steaming fog, she could still see Neng's pretty face flushed.
Take off your clothes, (begin harmony, gentle harmony, thoughtful harmony, omit hundreds of words of harmony, everyone does, but cannot say harmony.) )
It's strange to say that when Pan Chong's people got the position of secretary, Cheng Jia knew that this matter was inseparable from Zhong Wuregret's credit, so he didn't pay attention to Zhong Wuregret's actions as if nothing happened.
The more he is like this, the more empty Zhong Wuregret becomes, in order to deal with Cheng Jia's possible criticism, he has prepared countless rhetoric, but now he doesn't need it at all.
I didn't get any special information from Tang Zhong. Zhong Wuregret had a bold idea, he wanted to go to Guixiang Mansion to find Miss Lingbo and ask her opinion.
When she came to the Guixiang Garden in Guixiang Building, as soon as Miss Ling Bo saw Zhong Wuregret, she flew over like a swallow and threw herself into the arms of Regretless. Zhong Wuregret hugged her tightly. At this time, he realized that the excuse of asking Miss Lingbo to ask her opinion was actually making excuses for himself, and he had an irrepressible urge to see Miss Lingbo deep down.
Miss Limbo immediately ordered the maid to tell the bustard that she would not see any more guests today.
When there were only two people left in the room, Zhong Wuregret looked at Miss Lingbo carefully, but when there was no one else at this time, he should call her Feiyan.
Feiyan closed her eyes intoxicated in his arms: "It's not a dream, you can come whatever you say, and you won't let me prepare." ”
Zhong Wuregret looked at her with pity, he couldn't say anything in his heart, he knew that the beauty in his arms was likely to be his rival in the future, but he couldn't let go of his love for Feiyan in his heart.
Feiyan closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, hugging her delicate and delicate body, Zhong Wuregret couldn't help but kiss her red cherry lips.
But her kiss was even more intense, and a fragrant tongue slowly stretched into Zhong Wuregret's mouth, as if she was obsessed with Zhong Wuregret's tongue.
In the passion of forgetfulness, the two of them have unconsciously lay naked on the ground, and in the octopus-like entanglement, the harmony ...... in the dark.
When the harmony was over, the two glanced at each other, and hugged each other naked, and they didn't know how long they hugged, and when Zhong Wuregret felt the tears dripping from Feiyan, he asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm just afraid it's a beautiful dream." Feiyan sobbed.
"Can you leave it all behind and live with me?" Zhong Wuregret asked.
Feiyan shook her head and let the tears flow, and after a while, she stopped her tears, looked up at Zhong Wuregret and said, "I'm much better now." ”
They didn't call maids, but Zhong Wuregret served Feiyan to bathe and dress.
Zhong Wuregret stroked Feiyan's thin waist and let out a long sigh. He really didn't understand why the wind of taking illness as beauty prevailed in ancient and modern times, as if only a woman could be called a woman with a slender waist, delicate and pitiful, and weak and weak.
He knew that during the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, the once popular "beauty of small feet" was premised on the destruction of women's bodies and minds.
The method of binding the small feet is to brutally cause the metatarsal dislocation or fracture of the woman's feet through artificial force, and fold them on the sole of the foot, and then wrap them tightly with layers of footcloth. The folk saying of "a pair of small feet, a jar of tears" is a concentrated reflection of the suffering that women have suffered for thousands of years.
And Feiyan has suffered a lot for this thin waist in her hand? At least there is "a bunch of thin waists and a pot of tears".
"What are you sighing for?" Feiyan asked softly.
Zhong Wuregret said regretfully: "I'm sighing, for this slender waist, you don't know how much you have suffered." ”
"Did you come to me today for something?" The thoughtful Feiyan asked.
"Yes, it's an excuse to find you if you have something, I really can't help but want to see you, I try my best to control myself from not seeing you, because I'm afraid of losing you in the future." Zhong Wuregret said frankly. He knew that sooner or later he would be an enemy of Pan Chong, and when the time came, what would Feiyan do if he was caught in the middle?
"Didn't you say that there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, I have also heard people say, 'In the world of life, if the white horse passes through the gap, it will be all of a sudden', and some people say that 'death and life are day and night', in this case, why think so long-term? If the two are in true love, they will be inseparable for a long time. As long as you have me in your heart, it's enough. Feiyan said.
Zhong Wuregret felt sour when he heard this, and he immediately changed the topic and said, "I know Feiyan's wisdom, and I want to hear your opinion on something important today." ”
"Say it!" has such an important position in the lover's heart, Feiyan's heart is sweet.
"I helped Pan Chong win the important position of division defeat, I thought Cheng Jia would trouble me, but he actually seemed to be fine, I don't know what's going on, I want to hear Feiyan's analysis." Zhong Wuregret said.
Unexpectedly, Feiyan said without thinking about it: "The person you care about will have an accident soon!" ”
Zhong Wuregret was taken aback and asked, "Why?" ”
Feiyan didn't hurry to say her reasons.
