Chapter Seventy-Nine: I Can't See Through Her
Yalan smiled: "No, I don't have a child in my house." Haven't you heard anyone talk about it? I remember that my business was the hottest after-dinner conversation in the capital. β
Afu smiled: "How can the words of others be credulous, as soon as my sister says this, I will know."
Yalan lowered her head, and Afu also bowed her head, but found that she was just looking at the appearance of her embroidered shoes stepping on the bluestone bricks: "I don't want to have children." My mother just gave birth to a few of our sisters. I'm doing well now and don't want to take any risks. β
Afu let out an "um", she understood, she thought the same way at first.
The hand stroked the lower abdomen, as if remembering the bowls of pottion.
Yalan saw it and asked softly, "What, do you have it?" β
Afu was startled, quickly put down her hand, and said with a smile: "How could it be." β
According to others, I am afraid that they will continue to say, "Why not" Yunyun, but Yalan just chuckled lightly and didn't ask again.
In the end, it was Ah Fu who spoke again: "Sister Yalan, have you and Master Ma been in love for decades?" β
Bai Yalan smiled, like a breeze blowing away the clouds: "Yes, he takes care of me very well and accommodates me." As her smile unfolded, a pair of turquoise and turquoise jade pendants shook gently in her ears.
Afu couldn't hide her envy: "It's so good." β
Yalan gently patted her family on the shoulder, and her voice was as clear as a carefree child: "Come on, Lord Pei cherishes you, and the whole city knows it." β
Afu smiled reluctantly, not knowing what to say.
Since the beginning of the year, Shuyu and her have been inseparable.
He came back on time every day, but he didn't smile much, and he never gaged and made her laugh as before, often falling asleep in two phases, each without saying anything.
Wanwan went to ask Zhou He, Zhou He didn't know, and every day he felt that he was doing things with his head, and he was reprimanded by Shu Yu at every turn.
Afu knew in her heart that she didn't talk about the concubine, and Shuyu was suspicious of her.
But how could she explain it? Could it be that the sour feeling in her heart is really a big sin to destroy the Nine Clans? Let every child avoid it!
She was depressed in her heart, so she simply told Bai Yalan.
Bai Yalan pondered for a while and said, "Afu, didn't you think that it was the child's own mother who made trouble?" β
How could Afu not think about how many nights she opened her eyes until dawn, thinking about what kind of witchcraft this poisonous woman had...
"But the child is so young, how can she command?"
Yalan said softly: "It's not that I don't instruct, I used to see people training dogs, that is, if they did it right, they would give it a piece of meat, and if they did it wrong, they would beat it." Later, when the dog saw the whip, he would be so frightened that he would go limp.."
Afu instantly understood. Countless scenes flashed in her mind of Qingyan smiling and handing the child to her arms, if she secretly pinched the child at the same time...
Looking at Afu's expression, Yalan knew that she knew what she had in mind. happened to arrive at the gate of the outer palace, and sure enough, Ma Shangshu was standing in the cold wind and waiting.
Ah Fu saluted Ma Shangshu, turned to Yalan and said, "Sister is really a blessing." Come on, I'm waiting here for my car. β
Yalan pursed her lips and smiled, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were happy, and then she jumped towards Ma Shangshu.
Far away, Afu couldn't see it really, but felt that Ma Shangshu was full of smiles.
Alas, that's good.
She wrapped her coat tightly and waited for Pei Fu's car to come.
After enjoying the flowers for most of the day, and without Sakura to take care of her, she was already very tired.
"Madam, the slave is late, get in the car quickly!"
When I opened my eyes, it was Zhou He. Afu stepped on his knee and got into the car, incredulous: "Why are you?" What about Sakura? β
Originally, someone from Rongdong Yuan was supposed to come out to pick up his wife. Zhou He said with a smile: "The second master is afraid that they won't be able to drive at night, so he specially asked me to pick up Mrs. to reply, you sit tight, we will be there soon!" β
Afu let out an "oh" and lowered the curtain, leaned on the board and closed her eyes.
He treats himself, and there is still some friendship in the end.
When I returned to the courtyard, I only smelled the strong smell of wine, and greeted me gently, and said in a low voice: "Madame is back, the second master somehow brought a lot of wine from Tianxianglou, and he drank it since the afternoon, so he couldn't persuade him!" β
Ah Fu twisted her eyebrows, walked two steps quickly, and then stopped and asked, "Who is serving inside?" β
Wanwan said humbly: "There is only Miss Mingyuan in the house..."
Afu's face sank, and she walked to the door of the room in three or two steps, holding her breath and listening.
Shu Yu obviously drank a lot, and his tongue was not at home: "She... I can't see through her..."
It was Ming Yuan's voice: "The second master is wise and martial, we are women, what do you can't see."
Shuyu let out a "huh", as if he had swept something off, and fell to the ground with a crack: "I.. I can see through you..."
Ming Yuanjiao smiled: "Ye can naturally see through me. I'm yours..."
Before he finished speaking, he was intercepted by Shu Yu: "But why can't I see through her Xiang Fu??? β
Suddenly being named to the Daimyo, Afu couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Who the hell is she? Is she good or bad? Is she a goblin," Shu Yu thought he was beating his chest, "Knock knock", "I'm fucking full of her!" β
Ming Yuan's voice was crying, thinking that he pounced over and dragged Shu Yu's arm: "Second master, second master, don't beat yourself, if you want to fight, hit Qian'er..."
Shuyu's voice was full of exhaustion: "That's her mother's name... You've got to call Ming Yuan.."
A sigh escaped from Afu's lips, and she suddenly didn't know whether to go in or not.
She sat down against the door, behind her a thick cotton curtain, and in front of her was the old laurel tree, which had lost its leaves and looked more and more vigorousβit had been a year and four months since it had been moved, and it had witnessed the joys and sorrows of Afu's courtyard.
In the summer, Shuyu accompanied her to enjoy the cool under the tree, and in the winter, she wore a red cloak and led a team of maids to play with him Wong Tai Sin to catch chickens.
In a trance, Afu seemed to see Shuyu's smile again, the strange smile that suddenly entered her life a year ago, and unfolded in front of her vigorously.
It's just a year of getting along, and she shouldn't have expected him to have much faith in her - not to mention that she herself is not a good person.
Blind marriage and dumb marriage, getting along day and night, shouldn't there be too many expectations like a boy's tooth?
Sakura stood far away on the side of the courtyard gate, looking at her from afar, and she didn't need to look at Afu to know that their faces were full of worry. In the end, they grew up together, and they know each other.
The door behind him suddenly opened, and Afu was defenseless, leaning in, and fell at the feet of the unprepared Ming Yuan.
Ming Yuan was stunned: "Husband.. Madam? β
Afu was embarrassed, and got up with her hands and feet: "Hmm." Go down, and I'll serve you. β
Ming Yuan bit his lip and nodded.
Shuyu sat on the ground in the north room, leaning against the diamond-shaped viewing window, and there were more than a dozen small wine jars poured beside him.
Afu untied the big gun, threw it aside casually, and walked over and pressed Shuyu's hand holding the wine bottle: "Don't drink husband, wine hurts the liver." β
Shu Yu brushed her hand away in silence.
Afu meekly withdrew her hand, moved a cushion over, sat down opposite him, and helped up the small wine jars, one by one, and stood in rows.
Shu Yu's eyes were attracted by her, and he looked at her with a gloomy face, and only said after a while: "What's your name?" β
Afu was desperate, and was ready to fight a tough battle with him, but he didn't expect him to drink so much that he didn't remember anything first, so he simply pinched his throat and said: "If you go back to the second master, the slave is new, named Xiaohe." β
Shu Yu looked at her: "Okay, do things well." He took another sip and said, "Go down." β
Afu leaned over and held his hand: "Second master, you can't drink anymore, if you drink again, you will get drunk!" β
Shuyu threw her away: "Let you go down!" Didn't you hear? β
Afu didn't dare to come with him, for fear that he would really treat himself as a little maid and kick him in the chest, but it would be miserable: "Back to the second master, Mrs. asked Xiaohe to guard you, and Xiaohe didn't dare to leave his post without permission."
Shu Yu was silent: "Hmm.. Madame..."
Afu peeked at him, saw him twist his eyebrows in great confusion, and thought for a while before saying, "Since Mrs. let me, you can stay here." β
Ah Fu snickered, pretending to ask him unintentionally: "Second master, the slave maid has just started to be on duty, and I don't know what kind of person the lady is?" β
Shuyu drank too much wine and talked more, but he still didn't change his stinky temper: "What kind of person is Madam, and what can you discuss?" Do what you should do, and naturally there is no reason to suffer. β
Afu said boldly: "The slave maid listened to the sisters say that the lady abuses. Treat the little master.." She was really afraid that Shuyu would suddenly burst out, and she was ready to shout for help once he made a move.
