Chapter 157: Competing for Favor
"General Pingxi's Mansion? This big word is powerful and powerful, and it is really beautiful. This plaque is much more majestic than the 'General Fenwu', which is worthy of the momentum of our husband! ”
In a festive "horn suona", the three women Du Shi, Lu Lingqi, and He Lanzhi stood at the door of the mansion, judging the new plaque that had just been hung, and they were all overjoyed.
Comparing the ranks of later generations, General Fenwu is the rank of division commander, while General Pingxi is equivalent to the commander of the group army, and it is indeed a thing worth celebrating. Although these women are just concubines, they all already feel that there is light on their faces, and they are all radiant and full of spring breeze.
"Uh-huh...... Replaced with General Pingxi's door plaque, it is indeed much more imposing. In a few days, my sister and husband will visit the church, which can be described as a joy! Looking up at the gilded characters on the door plaque, Du Shi smiled like a flower and said a few auspicious words.
Although she is six or seven years older than He Lanzhi, a few nights ago, Yuan Mai had already made it clear to her and Lu Lingqi that because she wanted to use Helan Zhi's identity to trade horses, she was going to give the identity of the first concubine to He Lanzhi, so that the two of them would change their names to Helan Zhi "sister" in the future.
Women all attach great importance to their reputations, although they are all concubines, but they are also different, Du Shi and Lu Lingqi were extremely unhappy after hearing this, and their performances were different.
Du Yueniang is a smart person, she knows that she is not as good as Lu Lingqi in terms of ability and identity, and she is still a remarried person, the only advantage is that she can put down her body in bed to serve her husband, so that her man is so happy that she screams. If you are really jealous, I am afraid that you will not have much advantage.
Besides, although Helanzhi has no reputation, she is actually married to Yuan Mai much earlier than herself, and she is pregnant again, plus she has made great contributions to her husband this time, and then forcibly compete for favor and reputation, I am afraid that she will not be able to eat good fruits. Du Shi herself is a smart woman who knows how to advance and retreat, so she pressed the unhappiness in her heart and obeyed Yuan Mai's words.
And Lu Lingqi is a person who practices martial arts. Hot temperament. Coupled with the temper and temperament of the eldest lady, after listening to Yuan Mai's words, she naturally refused, and retorted, "Although the Helan clan is pregnant. But the worship service was not performed. It's not a concubine. Even if you make up a concubine ceremony for her now. It's also behind me and Sister Du, how can I let my sister and I be wronged under her? Isn't it great that she's pregnant? That woman doesn't have babies? I can give birth too! ”
No matter how much Yuan Mai said and persuaded her, Lu Lingqi just refused to agree to He Lanzhi as the second wife. In the end, he simply refused to share a bed with Yuan Mai, sobbing and complaining: "Do you only remember that she Helanzhi gave you a meritorious role in changing war horses?" Don't you remember my contribution to saving you from the Liyang gun? Let me call a Hu girl to be a sister, I won't do it, and I won't do it to death! ”
Seeing Lu Lingqi's tough attitude, and seeing her crying pitifully, Yuan Mai's heart softened, so he no longer forced Lu Lingqi.
Anyway, the Du family has already agreed to call Helanzhi "sister", and Lu Lingqi calls Du "sister", so Helan's status can be understood as above Concubine Du and Concubine Lu. As for Lu Lingqi not changing her words, I'm sorry, this is your own problem, and the two of you will slowly solve it!
Since Lu Lingqi didn't let herself go to bed, Yuan Mai was angry and didn't go to her yard, and slept in Du's room for several nights. And Du Shi deliberately flattered, the husband and wife did firewood and fire, and fought fiercely for several nights in a row, Du Yueniang made the whole body solve the number as soon as possible, what Guanyin sat on the lotus, the withered vine entangled the tree, the old tree was rooted, and the old man pushed the cart...... Wait, wait, all double cultivation, every night Wushan clouds and rain, so not merry and happy!
Yesterday evening, Yuan Shao's official documents and ribbons were sent to Huai County, and Yuan Mai ordered craftsmen to make a gold plaque of "Pingxi General's Mansion" overnight, and early this morning, ordered people to replace the old one, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and add a little festive atmosphere to the gift of concubines a few days later.
Because Du agreed to Yuan Mai's request and changed his name to Helan's "sister", this made Lu Lingqi feel betrayed and began to look at Du Shi unpleasantly. In addition, Yuan Mai has been sleeping in Du's room for the past few days, listening carefully at night, and can even hear the woman's coquettish bed, which makes Lu Lingqi even more unhappy Du Shi, who has been pulling his face and not talking to her for the past few days, and there is hostility in his eyes.
Du Yueniang is so observant of words and feelings, she has long seen Lu Lingqi's hostility in her eyes, but on the surface, she pretends to be unaware, and still calls Lu Lingqi a "sister"; And for Helan Zhi, she is also respectful, calling her a "sister", and she is happy to be a good person on both sides. If you want to fight, you can fight, I just have to make my husband happy, and naturally I can't do without pampering!
After listening to Du Yueniang's words, Lu Lingqi was full of anger and snorted coldly: "Hmph, what if the ceremony is beautiful?" After all, she is also a concubine, and she is still behind me! After speaking, without waiting for Helan Zhi to say anything, he walked away.
only blew Helan Zhi's nose and glared, but there was nothing to be done. I have a big belly, I can't stage a full martial arts, and besides, my kung fu is all figured out on horseback, this Lu Lingqi is the daughter of today's first fierce general, her martial arts have been passed on, and she really fights, I'm afraid she is really giving it for nothing!
"Sister Helan don't be angry, Sister Lingqi is young and vigorous, and she speaks openly, you don't have to be like her!" Although he felt that the two daughters competing for favor would be beneficial to him and harmless, Du Shi still comforted him on the surface.
The conversation between the three women at the door reached Yuan Mai's ears, and he was annoyed. Bear girl, can't you still turn you back? What second lady and third lady, aren't they all Lao Tzu's women? Don't you have to pout your ass at night and fork and circle Lao Tzu? I want you to look good tonight!
After dinner, Yuan Mai reviewed the documents from various counties in the study for a while, and saw that it was not early, so he quietly picked up a rope, put it in the sleeve of his robe and came to the gate of Lu Lingqi's courtyard, and pushed the door in. Because this is the inner courtyard, the small doors of each courtyard are not plugged in, and Yuan Mai can easily enter.
Walked softly to the outside of Lu Lingqi's bedroom, only to see that there was still candlelight inside, and it seemed that she hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door a few times, Lu Lingqi, who had just taken off her coat and was about to go to bed, opened the door in white pajamas, and let Yuan buy into the room.
"Yo-he...... The little character is quite stubborn, and I will let you obey later! ”
Yuan Mai muttered in his heart, didn't take off his clothes, pulled the quilt from the head of the bed to cover it, and slept with his clothes. The husband and wife don't talk to each other, just like passers-by.
I don't know how long I slept, Lu Lingqi was woken up from her sleep, and she felt that this enemy was taking off her clothes, and she couldn't help but smile proudly, and secretly slandered herself: "Hmph, I know that your fishy cat can't hold back for a long time, and I haven't come to my room for five or six days, so I can't hold it back?" If you can not touch my body for a month, I admire your backbone! ”
After a while, Lu Lingqi gradually woke up from the haze, although she felt that her whole body was stripped naked, but how did she feel wrong? I wanted to sit up, but I couldn't get up, and then I found that my hands and feet were all tied!
"You, you enemy, what are you going to do? I'm already your woman, and if you want to do that, you'll do it right, so why tie my hands and feet? ”
Yuan Mai laughed evilly: "Aren't you competing with the Helan clan for favor, I'll let you share the winner tonight!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he used the quilt to make his whole body naked. The naked Lu Lingqi was wrapped, then carried it on her shoulders and strode out of the door. Three steps and two steps, it didn't take much effort to enter the courtyard of the Helan clan in the east chamber. banged on the door for a while, waking up the sleeping Helan clan, and after the door opened, he rushed straight into the house and threw Lu Lingqi on the bed.
"Husband...... What are you doing here? ”
Before Helan Zhi's words fell, she quickly saw that the person in the bed was naked. Naked Lu Lingqi, I don't know what her husband is doing in his bedroom with his naked opponent late at night? What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd? (To be continued......)
