Chapter 15: The Mistake of Pearls
Although Ma Li'er came back, but after this trouble, the atmosphere was a little more depressed, and Lord Min and Ma Yicheng lost their interest in chatting, and turned to talk about some official things, Huang Xiancheng just smiled and listened, but rarely intervened in official business.
As a junior of his subordinates, Yang Ling naturally had to take on the task of persuading him to toast and reconcile the atmosphere, and he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, and he didn't leave until late at night.
There was a light snow in the sky again, and the cold wind swept the snowflakes into his neck, Yang Ling was so drunk that his brain was swollen and his face was hot, he put his hands in his sleeves, humming a modern song that he had forgotten his name, and Shi Shiran turned into the alley where he lived.
When I arrived at the door, I wanted to knock on the door, but I didn't expect to come with a light like a bean, Han Youniang sat in front of the low table with her chin in her hands and looked sleepy, as soon as she heard the door, she looked up and saw him come in, and she was overjoyed.
Yang Ling was surprised and said, "Young lady, I thought you had fallen asleep so late."
Looking around, there were still half-light and half-dark ashes under the stove, and there was still faint heat on the lid of the pot, Han Youniang came forward to beat the snowflakes on his body for him, and said softly: "The prime minister is too busy on official business?" The young lady wanted to ask at the yamen, but she was afraid that people would laugh at her, so she had to wait for you to come back."
Yang Ling was quite ashamed when he heard this, and squeaked: "Ah Lord Min has an appointment for me to go with me, but I am in a hurry and I don't have time to tell you, you stupid woman, why have you waited so long, just take care of yourself." Have you eaten? ”
Han Youniang smelled his mouthful of wine, and knew that he was going to drink, so she was relieved after listening to his words, she helped Yang Ling to sit down on the kang, squatted down to remove his shoes for him, knocked the snow, took it to bake it next to the stove, and then went to pour a bowl of water and brought it back and said: "Xianggong, the water is warm, you drink some to moisten your throat." Wait for you to sleep, and the young lady will go to dinner."
Yang Ling listened to her words, remembered the drama he saw tonight, couldn't help but grab her hand, and muttered: "Young lady, you are my lady, not my servant, you shouldn't serve me like this." Alas! You are so small and so cute, you should be loved, loved and cared for."
Han Youniang listened to his face, her face was slightly red, she struggled with shame, did not break free, let him hold it, and said movingly: "Xianggong is very", she was really ashamed to say the word love, so she had to say: "Xianggong is very good to me, and besides, we women should do our best to serve our husbands, what does this have to do with slaves?" Xianggong loves the young lady, and the young lady understands in her heart, but don't spoil me so much, you will spoil me."
Yang Ling couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this world is like this now, and if she forcibly instilled some 21st century concepts into her, I was afraid that it would frighten her. Although the principle of etiquette and religion and husband as wife is used by men to poison women, for thousands of years, women have not only consciously obeyed these concepts, but also taken them for granted, and even carried them forward.
Most of the "Female Commandments" and "Women's Training" are written by women, and they are used to set an example for women all over the world. Young ladies show up and find some work in the tailor's shop, there are very few people left, and most of the current female surnames are only husbands and children at home, and they don't want her to serve their husbands, do you want her to pursue her own career? When I think about it, it seems that I am at ease to enjoy her tenderness and service so much.
Seeing Yang Ling yawning drunkenly, Han Youniang hurriedly took off his coat for him, and said, "Xianggong, you can rest in your clothes first", Yang Ling hummed sleepily, took off her coat with her hand, pulled over a pillow and turned over to sleep, and muttered: "I really can't hold it anymore, you can eat some food and sleep too."
Han Youniang answered, patted the collar of the robe and wanted to fold it up, suddenly clicked, and fell from the robe, Han Youniang picked it up curiously and looked at it, under the oil lamp, it was a beautiful women's purse, not only with exquisite materials, fine workmanship, but also with a faint fragrance, her little face suddenly became pale.
Her hands trembled so much that she wanted to open it to see, but she didn't seem to know and didn't open it, so she could deceive herself as if this thing hadn't happened, and after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but be curious, and gently opened the purse and felt a crystal moist bead from it.
The lights were reflected on it, and the color was so good-looking, Han Youniang couldn't help but widen her eyes: "This thing is so beautiful, is this the pearl I've heard people talk about?" How could Xiang Gong have such a thing on him, or in a woman's purse, he had a woman outside? ”
Thinking of this only possibility, Han Youniang was sad, no wonder after her husband recovered from his illness, he did not have a husband and wife ceremony with himself, when he left the pavilion, his aunt taught him his own things, but he said that husband and wife should be like that to be considered a husband and wife, and the white handkerchief that the aunt handed over to him for red testing was still pressed in the box.
Her heart couldn't help but panic: "Could it be that the husband is not only in the wind outside, but also wants to find a reason to rest himself, so he can't touch himself?" Look at this purse and jewelry, that woman must not be an ordinary woman, if the husband likes her, of course he will not take her back as a concubine, he only said that he was just recovering from his illness, so he didn't think about it, he was a girl's family, he didn't mention that he was naturally ashamed to export, and he couldn't think of him."
Yang Ling pulled the quilt in a daze, thinking that it was uncomfortable to sleep in stockings, he ripped off the straps on the socks, took off the socks and threw them aside, and found that the lights were still flickering, and looked back without any opinion, and saw Han Youniang sitting on the edge of the kang, with her back to herself, her immature shoulders shrugged one by one, and there was a faint crying sound.
He quickly turned over and sat up, wrenched Han Youniang's shoulder, and saw the tears on his little face falling like beads of broken threads, crying so sadly, he hurriedly went into the slender waist that hugged her, and coaxed distressedly: "Young lady, what's wrong with you, what's so sad?" ”
Han Youniang hurriedly wiped her tears, turned her head and whispered: "Xianggong dislikes the young lady's poor service, do you want to divorce the young lady?" ”
Yang Ling saw her crying sadly, her heart was pitiful and painful, and she hurriedly said: "Young lady, where did you start with this, these days you have followed me to endure hardships and have no regrets, Yang Lingming felt guilty, how could you do that kind of thing?" ”
Han Youniang spread out her palms and said faintly: "Xianggong, if it weren't for that, where did this bead come from?" Don't lie to me anymore."
Yang Ling saw the pearl, and suddenly realized, he smiled and hugged the young lady's thin shoulder, Han Youniang stubbornly broke away from the shoulder, she has learned martial arts since she was a child, if she really wants to resist, Yang Ling really can't hold her.
Yang Ling recognized her, she has always been supple like water, never to herself the slightest disobedience, simply not like a fresh and spiritual woman, at this time saw that she had a small surname, but felt very interesting, he salivated and hugged the young lady's shoulder again, Han Youniang earned two earnings, Yang Ling also added strength, Han Youniang no longer exerted force, but turned his head crookedly not to look at him.
Yang Ling picked up the pearl and said with a smile: "Young lady, isn't this pearl beautiful?" It's about to be the New Year, so I'll find a craftsman to wear it with colored thread and make a necklace for you, okay? ”
Han Youniang turned her head in surprise and said in surprise, "This bead is for me?" ”
Yang Ling blinked, and pretended to be strange: "If you don't give it to you, will you give it to me?" Have you ever seen a man wearing a necklace? ”
Han Youniang's face turned red, but when she thought of the purse, she still couldn't help but eat and said: "But this purse, doesn't Xianggong have a woman outside?" ”
Yang Ling's heart jumped, thinking of Ma Li'er's pretty face, although the two of them have no private secrets, but Ma Li'er has a lot of affection for him, and it is also a fact that he really likes this beautiful girl, he is a little weak in his heart, so he took the robe from the edge of the kang, took out the mezzanine for a while, took out two ingots of silver, and said: "Oh, you said this, I drank too much wine, and I was so sleepy that I just wanted to sleep, so I didn't have time to tell you that it was Ma Yicheng, who I helped him fight the lawsuit, to invite Master Min to have a drink with me." , gave me forty taels of silver during the banquet to express gratitude, this purse and pearl are special gifts from Miss Ma who came to our house, don't get me wrong."
Han Youniang has never seen such a big ingot of silver when she is so big, forty taels of the best silver in color, that is simply an astronomical amount, she opened her eyes in surprise: "Oh my God, Xianggong just helped him think of a way, is there so many thank-you gifts?" ”
Yang Ling stuffed the silver into her hand and said with a smile: "Lady put it away, this time you can rest assured?" Isn't it sad? ”
The silver two hands, icy and heavy, Han Youniang was teased by his blushing, she bit her lip, a flustered heart has been put down eight points, thinking in her heart, while her husband is drunk, Ming said may not remember what he said at this time, some things may as well be asked at a time, and also save her heart is always uneasy, the mind has been decided, she suddenly put down the silver, raised her sleeves to cover her cheeks, and said shyly: "The young lady and the young lady have a word I want to ask the father-in-law, and the father-in-law does not want to make fun of the young lady."
Yang Ling said strangely: "What's the matter?" Okay, today it is said that the young lady will go to the court to ask about the case, and Yang knows everything, and he has to say everything, please ask."
