Chapter 388: Chains
Chapter 388 Chains
Maybe it's hard for a real lady to be as lively and messy as Bai Wuchang, because there are too many rules to abide by Xue Chongxun himself is not pedantic, and he is happy that she is not a bad thing to laugh and laugh often, but I heard that she wanted to pretend to be a scholar and follow her, Xue Chongxun still refused: "You really can't do it!" ”
His tone was a little too direct, and Bai Wuchang suddenly pulled down his face and said angrily: "It's such a simple thing, why can't I do it?" Sanniang is also a woman, she can still be a guard."
Xue Chongxun glanced at Wang Changling, suppressed his smile and said seriously: "You can mess around regardless of your status now, that's because your identity is my 'friend', isn't that good?" Once the identity and relationship change, we must abide by the rules of this world, and we must talk about ethics and ranks, otherwise the master will not be a master or a servant, nor a servant, nor a king, nor a minister, and he will not abide by the rules, how can the people of the world believe in this set of rules? ”
Wang Changling didn't say a word, and at this time, he heard Xue Chongxun's remarks and nodded slightly in agreement, although Xue Chongxun was sometimes casual and etiquette, he still understood it in his heart
Bai Wuchang was not so easy to speak, she said aggrievedly: "You are training people with great truths, as if you have a lot of ink in your stomach, look at your handwriting......"
A few people talked and laughed all the way in the carriage, and unconsciously arrived at Anyifang North Street, Wang Changling's home was in front, first said goodbye and got off the car, and the two families were on a street, and soon arrived at the Jin Wangfu after the royal mansion, the mansion was still the same, but the fallen leaves when they walked now turned into snowflakes falling, and the roof was covered with a piece of snow with white flowers, and the antique building was hazy and hazy in the snowflakes, and it was extraordinarily beautiful, just like a painting, and it also seemed very quiet
Soon I saw a room of beautiful wives and concubines, in fact, there were not many, and the famous ones were just two concubines, and the wife of Li Yan'er had a slight bulge in her belly, she was originally a slender little waist, because of her pregnancy, it was obvious that the whole family was like a treasure, Xue Chongxun had never been a father, but he didn't expect that in the distant Tang Dynasty, there were descendants, which made his thoughts a little confused, as if he was not very adaptable, but this qiē should have been natural, and even at this time, it seemed a little late, However, his psychology still hasn't adapted to it, just as the gradual tilt of power should be a matter of course, but he hasn't gotten used to it yet, remembering the nursery rhyme he heard on the way back, as well as some rumors from the government and the opposition, he has also heard it, and he can naturally realize the breath of wind and rain coming
In the evening, there was a small family banquet in the house, there were not many people, but the dishes were exquisite, it was for Xue Chongxun to catch the wind and wash the dust, Xue Chongxun sat down and found that the wine was wine, so he looked back at Sun's heart and said that it must have been arranged by her, Sun's mind has always been more meticulous
Sure enough, Sun said with a smile: "The officials who came to Chang'an from Taiyuan to send tribute have to send a copy to the Jin Palace, and I don't dare to keep too much, remembering that Xue Lang loves to drink this wine when he is at home, and the literati of Chang'an also regard it as a treasure, so he left some wine for himself, and the other is that Xue Lang, a guest at home, uses it to entertain people, and it is also elegant."
Xue Chongxun hugged his fists and said: "It's still an adult who thinks thoughtfully."
The wine of Chang'an is very rare from the Western Regions, most of it is made in Taiyuan and other places, and it is also a niche drink, only the royal nobles and literati are good at this, and it is almost difficult for the people to see it, because it is too expensive and the taste is not very popular
Xue Chongxun said to Li Yan'er again: "In a few days, I will go to Huaqing Palace to see my mother, I can't stay at home for two days, and the princess has to take care of her body and the child in her belly."
Li Yan'er is his wife, it is indeed a bit strange to speak in this way, but there are many slaves and maids next to the family, Xue Chongxun can't be too big and big, a Jin palace, and it is also a small society with strict rules and regulations, and the master needs to have some scholarly etiquette house, and the ancients advocated "respecting each other like guests"
Li Yan'er was eating happily, usually at this time, she rarely spoke and looked greedy, even if she wanted to be a mother, it didn't seem to change much, she heard Xue Chongxun speak to herself, hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth, put down her chopsticks and said: "Oh, I know, everyone is annoyed to death when they talk like this......" But soon she realized that Sun was next to her, and she hurriedly changed her words and said innocently, "Concubine Yuwen often takes my pulse on weekdays, and she is a famous miracle doctor, so you don't have to worry about her taking care of Lang Jun."
When Xue Chongxun saw her appearance, he almost didn't squirt out the sip of wine he had just drunk in his mouth
Yuwen Ji also smiled charmingly and said, "The princess is in good health."
…… After dinner, the maids were busy cleaning up the table, and then put on tea and small cakes and other refreshments, and the family chatted while drinking tea
Xue Chongxun took the opportunity to ask someone to bring in the gifts he brought back from Helong and gave them to the women present, most of them were some easy-to-carry things such as pearls and jade, and the Sun family, who was sitting on the top position, got a pair of bracelets inlaid with bright gemstones, and said with a smile: "Even I have a share?" But this bracelet is too bright for an old woman to wear."
"How can an adult be an old woman? You live a long life, and you are not in a hurry to grow old," Xue Chongxun said with a smile, he didn't dare to make too frivolous jokes in front of everyone, but he didn't tell a lie, although the Sun family is an elder, where is there a little bit of old age? In this era, the hard-working women in the market are indeed like middle-aged women in their thirties, but Sun's life in an aristocratic family is not the same, her figure and skin are very well maintained, there is no fine lines on her face, the skirt and small jacket on her body are cut to absorb some of the characteristics of Xianbei clothing, narrow sleeves and thin waist, wrapping the figure convex and backward, she is not inferior to those young ladies, but has a mature and elegant taste
Sun raised his sleeves to cover the lower half of his face, and smiled from ear to ear: "You kid is really good at talking, I saw Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping praising you in front of her, but you really didn't choose this bracelet well, it's better to honor my chain before, when will I wear it again You will see"
"What kind of chain is my mother talking about?" Li Yan'er said curiously
Xue Chongxun's heart was hot when he heard this, what chain? It's the jeweled chain that looks like a belly pocket, it's a sex toy worn inside, and you have to take it off to see her, is that suggesting something? It must be, at first I said I couldn't stay at home for a few days, and she definitely didn't want to miss a few days at home
In the past few months, Xue Chongxun has traveled back and forth between Chang'an and Helong, and he has received some comfort from Murong Yan, but in addition to this, he has hardly been close to women in the past few months, not to mention that he has come back from Longyou and walked on the road for nearly a month, but he has really never touched a woman
Murong Yan did not go back to Chang'an with him this time, and went to Fuqi City to see the Khan King with some things, and Xue Chongxun would not send an envoy to pick her up until a while
Xue Chongxun said seriously: "Adults will wear it tonight, I'll see what kind of things are to your liking, lest I don't like the gift I chose for you."
Sun said: "Where do I have the heart to wear gold and silver on weekdays, I am afraid that the atmosphere of the house will be broken."
The two of them are like playing dumb riddles, outsiders don't know the connotation of their words at all, and Sun's expression and demeanor are also quite in place, it is impossible to see that even when she smiles, there is no inappropriateness, most of the time it is a dignified appearance with good cultivation
But Xue Chongxun understands her dignified and graceful enthusiasm...... He was thinking about the Sun family with all his thoughts, at least tonight, no other woman could compare with the Sun family, except for her too young wives and concubines, who couldn't quench Xue Chongxun's long-pent-up hunger and thirst
Everyone gossiped for a while, and finally when it was time for each of them to go back to rest, Xue Chongxun waited for the night to get darker, obviously Cheng Ting and Yuwen Ji were more looking forward to Xue Chongxun going, after all, they hadn't seen Xue Chongxun for a long time, but they naturally couldn't say it clearly, otherwise there would be traces of competition for favor, which was not conducive to the relationship with his family, and where could Xue Chongxun take care of them tonight? He had already been provoked by the Sun family, and he was pressed there
The surroundings gradually quieted down, Xue Chongxun sat in the living room with a book and pretended to look at it, and Yao Wancai, who had been on duty for a long time, couldn't help but remind: "Lang Jun, you took it down"
"Oh? I'm thinking about something" Xue Chongxun hurriedly put down the book, frowned and pretended to be deep, as if he was preoccupied, Yao Wan saw this, and lightly feared that he would quarrel with him, maybe it was a matter of the court
After grinding for a while, Xue Chongxun stood up and Yao Wan hurriedly asked, "Lang Jun is going to rest, I'll get you hot water to wash your feet."
Xue Chongxun said solemnly: "I'll go to the academy to get a few files, if you are sleepy, go to bed first, don't worry about me"
"Yes" Yao Wan bent her knees slightly, glanced back at the window, as if she remembered something, and hurriedly went to the cabinet to get a fur coat for Xue Chongxun to put on, and took an umbrella and put it in his hand and said, "I'll call someone to carry a lantern for you."
"Hmm," Xue Chongxun nodded solemnly
When I went out and was blown by the wind, it was really cold, Xue Chongxun pulled the collar and suddenly felt a little warmth under his heart, sure enough, it was still a girl's heart, and he didn't expect it to be cold outside, he opened the umbrella, a slave and maid carried a lantern in front of him, and the snow was still falling, but it was smaller, and it was very slow in the air, and it was lighter, and it was very beautiful under the firelight of the lantern
Walking along the corridor for a while, and then the stone road by the lake, Xue Chongxun turned his head to see that the lake was probably frozen over the thatched cottage by the lake, the outline of the atomic roof of the study appeared in the bare branches, the lanterns hung under the eaves, and the night was very quiet, like the silent snowflakes in the air
