Mrs. Chengbi's house, back flower courtyard.

Pavilion, tree, platform, piano, a beauty.

The breeze blows down a yellow flower, and the petals flutter and fall into the pond to ripple. The woman in the pavilion sits in front of the stage, stroking a yaoqin with her slender ten fingers, and the sound of the piano is melodious, such as the wind entering the pine, such as the spring falling stream, like the fall of flowers, elegant and appreciative.

Looking in from the courtyard gate, she was sitting with her back to her, she couldn't see her appearance clearly, and at a glance, she only felt that her body was as slender as the moon, her long hair was swaying, her clothes were fluttering, her waist was like a fold, and she looked weak and timid.

In a moment, a young man came in a hurry, looking to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old, round and fat, white and tender, with luxurious clothes, and the string of beautiful jade ornaments clanging between his knees alone was enough to buy ten horses. The two maids at the gate of the courtyard did not stop him when they saw him, but only bowed their knees and said, "I have seen the son." ”

The white and chubby young man's face was flushed, his head was full of white sweat, he stretched out his index finger to his lips and "shh ”

The two maids laughed dumbly, shook their heads at him, and the young man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly straightened his clothes, straightened his chest, and walked inward with square steps, but the ghostly look was a little ridiculous.

This young man is the young master of Ji Sun Zifei's family, Ji Sun Sheng, the son of Mrs. Cheng Bi. At the beginning, Mrs. Chengbi and Mrs. Ai competed for favor and fought equally, it was because of the timely birth of the heir of this family that they won a big victory, and finally the angry Mrs. Ai committed suicide in anger.

This little boy has been pampered by his parents since he was a child, does not study literature, does not practice martial arts, and when he is a little older, he plays with his heart, and it is difficult to restrain him to collect his heart, and now he is thirteen years old, but he is still playing and playing, fighting cocks and dogs, and refusing to endure hardships in his studies, which makes Mrs. Cheng Bi very troubled, seeing that he is growing up, but he has no skills, he has strengthened his discipline, and he will be called to reprimand him every now and then, this little boy is really afraid of his mother.

Ji Sunsheng tiptoed behind Mrs. Cheng Bi, who was caressing the qin, stood carefully, held her breath, Mrs. Cheng Bi heard someone coming behind her, raised the ten fingers of her hands elegantly, and pressed lightly on the strings, and the sound of the piano stopped. Ji Sunsheng, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, immediately stretched out his two little fat hands to applaud desperately, cheering loudly, and shaking his head at the same time, but he was infinitely intoxicated.

Mrs. Cheng Bi turned around and said with a smile: "Phew! My mother called you here, did she want you to pat me on the back? ”

As soon as this lady turned around, she was eye-catching, and now she was nearly thirty years old, but she looked delicate, her eyes were as clear as springs, and her appearance still looked like a twenty-odd person, and her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, delicate and elegant. A pair of delicate eyebrows like distant mountains, a pair of charming eyes, a delicate nose, and a small mouth, at first glance, her appearance is like the floating clouds that cover the moon suddenly part, pouring down the moment when the sky is full of clear light.

There are many kinds of beauties, and the most beautiful one is called feminine. There may be a beautiful woman in a hundred women, but there may not be a natural woman in a thousand beauties, such a woman every move, a smile, is born with an attractive taste, so that people see and forget their worries, see and think of the bed.

This Mrs. Cheng Bi really deserves to be the wife who defeated Ji Zifei, and the ** stunner who climbed from a humble concubine to the high position of Mrs. Cheng does have the ability to turn all beings upside down.

Her naturally charming eyes squinted at this uncompetitive son, and seemed to say casually: "If you don't study with your master, where did you go to play again?" ”

"Oh, Sheng didn't play," Ji Sunsheng tugged at the corner of his clothes, stammered a little nervously, and his big white and fat face also blushed: "Sheng is tired of studying with his master, so he goes to the courtyard to practice shooting, huh...... I forgot to tell the Master......"

Mrs. Cheng Bi said angrily: "Xi shooting? Can you shoot a bow and shoot an arrow? and bullying me again, hum! You child, it's so disappointing for your mother, you can't learn anything, you only know how to play, that is, to play, and often lose to others, how can I have such a stupid son as you? Say, how much money does the cricket lose to others? ”

Ji Sunsheng's face turned even redder when he heard this, and he argued angrily: "Why does my mother look down on Sheng so much, Sheng has never lost gambling money, Fang just fought crickets with the second son of the Cao family, I won all his Peiyu, and last night, I fought with Gao Baoer, and his father's bronze wine goblet lost to me." If Mother doesn't believe, look ......."

In order to show his merits, Ji Sunsheng pulled his robe and took out a messy bunch of things from his arms, presumably all of them were the trophies he got from gambling, "Oh, these are all won by me, this thing is the day before yesterday......"

Ji Sunsheng told how everything was won one by one, saying that his hands were dancing, his eyebrows were dancing, Mrs. Cheng Bi's eyebrows were frowning, and the expression on her face was getting more and more ugly, Ji Sunsheng's voice gradually weakened as he spoke, and finally lowered his head and muttered: "Ah...... I ......, mother, the child is wrong......"

As he spoke, he raised his head, glanced at his mother quickly, and said unconvinced: "Mother came to tease me again......"

Mrs. Cheng Bi was angry and funny, and was about to reprimand her son again, when the maid at the door suddenly came and said, "Madam, Zhong Lianghuai asks to see you." ”

"Zhong Lianghuai?" Mrs. Cheng Bi's face changed, her hands in her sleeves were clenched into fists all of a sudden, she wanted to speak and stopped, her eyes flashed, she paced two steps in the pavilion hurriedly, glanced at Ji Sunsheng who was still standing stupidly on the side, and said angrily: "Why don't you go back to study with the master?" If I walk around again, I know that I will definitely beat your ass! ”

After speaking, he sat back on the pedal and said lightly: "Call him in." ”

Ji Sunsheng was overjoyed when he heard this, he was so lucky today, there were guests visiting, and he was finally able to escape his mother's reproach, otherwise he listened to his mother's lecture here, it felt like a magic sound piercing his brain, and it was really endless torture. Ji Sunsheng was grateful to Zhong Lianghuai's eight-generation ancestors, and ran out of the pavilion diligently.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Ji Sunsheng and Zhong Lianghuai, who was waiting there, collided with each other, Ji Sunsheng almost fell, Zhong Lianghuai hurriedly supported him, an old face smiled like an angry chrysanthemum, and looked him up and down with an indescribable complex look and said: "Ouch, young boy, you can run slowly, if you are injured, the villain can't afford it." ”

Ji Sunsheng was extremely happy, and he didn't care about him, pushed him away and hurriedly ran away, just heard that his mother called him, he was so panicked that he was fighting crickets, and he hid the best cricket 'copper-headed general' he caught in a corner of the yard at will.

Zhong Lianghuai smiled and watched Ji Sunsheng leave, glanced at Mrs. Cheng Bi, who was sitting in the pavilion, dusted off the sleeves of her robe, walked into the pavilion with a smile, bowed, and said respectfully: "Zhong Lianghuai has seen Mrs. Cheng Bi. ”

Mrs. Cheng Bi glanced back, and saw that the two maids were waiting at the gate of the courtyard, so she turned around again, and gently plucked her fingers on the strings, and Ying Ying got up in the sound of the strings, and asked calmly: "Zhong Lianghuai, you came to see Mrs. Ben, is there anything wrong?" ”

Zhong Lianghuai squinted his eyes and looked at Mrs. Cheng Bi, Mrs. Cheng Bi stood with her back to the ground, wearing a long skirt that was green and swaying straight to the ground, the show was long, the two fragrant shoulders were cut obliquely, and the black hair was only tied with a thin sube belt, which reached the buttocks behind the shoulders, and the slender waist concave inward with a rainbow bridge-like curve, and the straight hanging waterfall-like hair formed a string moon between the waist and the hair, a romantic and charming.

"Mrs. Chengbi is like a ripe fruit, compared to that year, the style is more and more charming." Zhong Lianghuai secretly admired, at that time, he was working in Ji Sun Zifei's mansion, just in the prime of life, now more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, he is already with gray hair, and he is gradually aging, but Mrs. Chengbi is still beautiful, and she can't help but sigh when she thinks about it.

Zhong Lianghuai complimented with a smile: "The villain has not seen Mrs. for a long time, and I miss it very much, and now I see Mrs., Mrs. Tianxiang and her style are still ...... for Mrs."

Mrs. Cheng Bi snorted and said a little impatiently: "Zhong Lianghuai, what did you have to do when you came to see me, just say it directly, is Mrs. Ben also a person you can praise?" ”

Zhong Lianghuai's face changed slightly, and he said slightly angrily: "Madam, such words will inevitably chill the villain, when the villain is doing things in the house, he is respectful to his wife and serves him like a god, and he does nothing for the sake of his wife, if it is not for the villain's ......, hey!" I'm afraid that Madame may not have the status she is today, right? ”

Mrs. Cheng Bi turned around suddenly, her eyes condensed slightly, and she said coldly: "Zhong Lianghuai, you are so bold!" Is this a threat to me? ”

Zhong Lianghuai immediately smiled all over his face, bowed down and said, "Hehe...... how dare the villain." Ah, I just saw the young man, speaking of which, the young man is a talent, and he has gradually grown up to be sincere, and Zhong Lianghuai is also pleased to see it. Looking at the filial piety of the lady's mother and son, she is happy, and the lady must be very satisfied with this young son, right? ”

Mrs. Cheng Bi changed color and said: "Zhong Lianghuai, the Ji family is full of talents. Yang Hu and Gongshan are all heroes of the world, what skills do you have to be on an equal footing with them? If it weren't for my secret help, would you have the power you have now? I have already repaid your favor, what do you mention him for? ”

Zhong Lianghuai took her weakness, and didn't want to force people too much, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Madame's care for the villain, the villain has never forgotten, to Madame, the villain is grateful from the bottom of my heart." The villain is here, because I heard that the lady is forming a team to participate in the dragon boat race, these miscellaneous villains are the most familiar, I don't know if there is anything that needs the villain to serve? As long as the lady commands, the villain will definitely go all out. ”

Mrs. Cheng Bi brushed her sleeves and sat back, and said indifferently: "Dragon boat racing, it's just that Mrs. Ben has nothing to do, and she organizes a fleet to relieve her boredom, and now that you are in charge of the ruling lord's door, how dare Mrs. Ben work for your master." ”

"Where is it, Zhong Liang Huaiyi said that he is a slave under his wife's door, and he has been a slave under his wife all his life, how dare he be ungrateful to his master?" Zhong Lianghuai licked his lips and smiled slyly: "Madam, this is not a trivial matter. The ruling lord sent a message, and whoever won the championship in the fleet under the Ji clan could exclusively operate the sea salt business for three years. Tut-tut, three years, three years of sea salt business, how lucrative should the income be, I'm afraid I don't want to pile up a mountain of gold, does Mrs. really care? ”

Mrs. Cheng Bi glanced at him and said in her heart: What does this mean by running here inexplicably? Could it be ...... Is there really anything he can do to help me win the championship? In that case, he would have gotten a piece of the pie. However, with the huge profits of monopolizing sea salt, if he really has a way, it doesn't hurt to cooperate with this disgusting thing as soon as he returns.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Cheng Bi's face softened, she turned around, looked at Zhong Lianghuai, and asked solemnly, "So, do you have any good ideas?" Let's hear about it. ”

Zhong Lianghuai was stunned for a moment, how could he have any way to win the competition? It was just a kind word to ask about the dragon boat, and I wanted to find an entry point. You can't just say it directly as soon as you enter the door: Madam, the villain is about to bring down the Yang Tiger, as soon as the Yang Tiger falls, Gongshan will fight for power with the villain.

Now that Mrs. Cheng Bi really asked him, Zhong Lianghuai couldn't help but be dumbfounded, people want faces, trees want bark, if they can't even let out a fart, they just squeak and cover up the past, how can they be embarrassed to ask Mrs. Cheng Bi for help?

Zhong Lianghuai, this person, is the most unintelligent one among the three ministers of the Ji family, if it weren't for Mrs. Chengbi's help, with his ability, he would not have been able to rise to this position now. This person was not in a hurry, where could he think of a good way for a while, he was anxious at the moment, and his eyes were rolling, but all he had in his mind was the fall of Yang Hu and the idea of being in the position, and he couldn't think of anything beside him.

"The fall of Yanghu, the fall of Yanghu ......", Zhong Lianghuai's rusty brain suddenly "rattled", and a little spark of wisdom that had not been encountered for ten years popped out, remembering a person who was crucial to Yanghu's seizure of power, Zhong Lianghuai couldn't help but pat his thigh, and couldn't help but say: "Madam, the villain has a way here, if Madame acts according to the villain's law, this dragon boat race will definitely win the championship!" ”
