Chapter 115: Homely Gossip
In the eyes of outsiders, except for Pei Shuyu and Ji Heng staying in the military department for more and more time, everything in Pei's mansion is as usual.
However, there are some undercurrents surging in the house; The second master came back every night, went straight to Rongdong Courtyard, closed the door with his wife until late at night, and hurried to Aunt Mingyuan, night after night, this almost a month, has not changed.
On the first night, Ming Yuan's jaw naturally dropped in shock, and she was about to cry with joy.
There are many widows and widows, and when she sees a man at first glance, she can't pull off the posture.
A month has passed, and Ming Mandarin is fluttering and almost doesn't know what day it is. It just so happened that Afu was at ease to raise the baby, and she didn't ask them to go over to say goodbye, so she moved a small bench to sit at the door of the house every day, and boasted to the idle maids who didn't know where the second master was to her.
"I often advise the second master not to come to me so diligently, we are rough servants, it doesn't matter if you are tired, but the second master has a lot of gold and expensive body, if he is tired, how can I explain to the old lady and the old lady?"
Ming Yuan pulled the frog's throat and croaked.
The maid at the bottom held her stinky feet: "How can my aunt say that she is a rough maid?" The size of the aunt followed the old lady who passed away, and then she served the second master closely, where did she be a rough servant! “
Ming Yuan was obviously coaxed very happy, snorted twice, and changed various angles to attract everyone to pat on the back: "Hey, in the end, the second master is merciful, he can't bear to see me die in this room, and come to accompany me for a while every night..."
The servants probably thought that this was the truth, but they didn't find anything to brag about, and there was silence for a while.
Ming Yuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly continued: "I'm afraid that the second master will work, and I will serve carefully every night, and it is difficult for my aunt to be a big responsibility, but none of my sisters and sisters can help me, so I have to..."
There was a clever and quick hint to catch Ming Yuan: "Hey, if you don't say that your aunt's life is good, the second master is only willing to find you one, this is a grace that you can't ask for!" “
The rest hurriedly echoed: "Yes! Even if it's the one in Rongdong Courtyard, now it's not as favored as my aunt! ”
Ming Yuan was a little unhappy when he heard this, what do you mean by "the one in Rongdong Courtyard"? Mrs. lives in Rongdong Courtyard, doesn't she Ming Yuan and Qingyan also live in Rongdong Courtyard? It's just a big room, and others live in the ear room...
The clever maid saw that Ming Yuan's expression was uncertain, and wanted to make her happy, so she deliberately asked, "Auntie, what does the second master like?" Tell us about it, and we'll do what we like when we're on errands! ”
Ming Yuan is energetic now, it is obviously an ordinary topic, she has to add oil and vinegar to describe some details that make people's eyes red and heartwarmed....
Qing Yan in the next room had a headache when he heard it. Xiang Yuan had already spoken, and Ming Yuan's big words drilled into his ears one after another, and he was so anxious that Qing Yan became angry.
She finally couldn't help but push the door out, leaned on the door frame, and asked knowingly, "What is my sister busy with?" ”
Ming Yuan turned her head, she didn't want to show off to Qing Yan, so she unintentionally beckoned her out: "Hey, sister, come and sit down, our sisters bask in the sun." ”
Saying that, Ming Yuan looked behind Qing Yan: "Where is the little young master?" ”
Qing Yan shook her handkerchief and said with a smile: "Learn to talk in the house." The children's mouths are connected, and what they listen to and say is very gratifying. ”
Qing Yan said it implicitly, and only hoped that Ming Yuan had some scheming in his heart, but where did Ming Yuan have these eyes, he casually promised a few words, and began to talk nonsense again.
The weather in mid-May was already a little hot, Afu didn't like the heat, and her belly was big, so she only felt that her elbows were sticking to her waist, and she only put on a gauze dress outside her hard silk bandeau and read the account book in the pavilion on the lake in Rongdong Courtyard.
Ming Yuan's words came towards her in waves with the heat, and from time to time a few words drilled into her ears.
Yuan Niang sat with her, gently shaking the silk fan for her, and couldn't help but want to scold Ming Yuan a few words, but she didn't want to disturb Afu's purity, so she kept silent.
During these days, the second master and the second lady are very strange, if the relationship between the two is good, the second master does not live in the lady's room every night; If the relationship between the two is not good, they are happy during the day, but they are also deeply affectionate.
Yuan Niang is so irritable. She has now reached the time when the tide of Kwai Water has receded, and she is extremely anxious, and she can't help but mention to Afu several times that the second master went to Mingyuan's place to spend the night, and she is busy giving Afu advice and asking her to bring the second master back.
Afu is not in a hurry, she responds with a smile every time, bows her head and herself.
Sakura Sakura is much calmer than before, and now she sits on the side to sew quilts for Afu's unborn child.
Ming Yuan's words came from afar: "Hey, they all say that there are only tired cows, and there is no ploughed land, but I feel like I'm going to crack from time to time......"
The second half of the sentence was drowned in a burst of excited laughter.
Yuan Niang finally couldn't help it, threw the fan, picked up the bead curtain and went to the back of the ear room, looking like it was going to be a big battle.
The bead curtain fell back, and there was a "sparse" sound, and Afu and Sakura looked up in unison.
Sakura said with a smile: "Yuan Niang will definitely scold that group of idlers, so that they have nothing to do and chew their tongues." ”
Afu smiled lightly, habitually touched her belly, and searched the line she had just seen on the ledger again: "Ming Yuan is really, and he never knows what it means to make a fortune with a muffled voice." ”
Sakura smiled: "In the past, when I didn't have some grace, I could show off, but now that I have met the second master a few times, I won't go to heaven." ”
Afu sighed inaudibly, and looked back at the courtyard gate: "Why haven't you come back today?" It's time to go back, right? ”
Sakura Sakura stood up to help Afu take a look, shook her head and said, "I didn't see it, and I didn't hear any movement outside." It's getting late. ”
She lowered her voice: "Girl, it can't be today, right?" ”
Afu's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but squeeze the account book tightly, and said in a trance: "Who knows...."
On the day of the news of Hu Zhu's death, Shu Yu entered the palace and stayed until the curfew before returning tired.
In the end, the saint decided to send troops, and it was not his top priority to avenge Hu Zhu's clan, mainly because he couldn't let the Huns trample on Damin's face, let alone let the Huns' spears go straight in. Pound Chang'an.
It's just that this time the Pei family was not used, but the emperor's younger brother Prince Xu was in charge, and Li Qian, the second son of Prime Minister Li Cheng, was the main general, leading a group of high-ranking officials and dignitaries who had been talking on paper for many years, and set out on the expedition.
Shuyu frowned when he told Afu, if this battle is won, then it is really a hell.
More than a month, less than ten years, it must be Pei Jiajun to save the scene.
Now it has been more than a month, and the Yumen Pass has been listening to the sky every time, if the emperor does not allow it, there is no news to be sent to him, the secretary of the military department.
Sakura pushed the contemplative Afu: "Girl, the second master is back!" ”
Afu was excited, helped Sakura to stand up, and sure enough, he saw Shu Yu standing in the verandah, beckoning to Afu with a shallow smile.
Ah Fu didn't realize that she was also smiling, and hurriedly greeted Shuyu, and when she was far away, she held her waist and smiled: "Why did Husband come back so late today?" ”
Shu Yu repeatedly asked her to slow down, and wiped the sweat from the corners of her forehead with his sleeve: "You only wore a gauze dress?" Isn't it cold? ”
In the past, she wore more clothes for a season than him, but now he is still wearing court clothes, neatly draped, but she is so cool.
Afu pointed to the corner of her forehead, opened her eyes wide and said angrily: "Look at the sweat on my forehead, my husband still asks me if I am cold?" ”
Shu Yu laughed at himself for being stupid, and slowly walked into the house with her: "Be polite and polite with Madame, Madame is more serious!" ”
Afu glanced at him with a pair of big watery eyes, and secretly pinched his forearm with a hard hand in his hand.
Shuyu exaggerated the pain, but his hand dishonestly went around her waist and gently stroked her flank.
"Our dolls have grown so fast this month, and I can't even get around now." He sighed.
Afu has a sense of accomplishment, like a successful melon farmer: "Yuan Niang said that it began to show her pregnancy in about four months, and when she arrived in the first seven or eight months, it was terrifying!" ”
Shu Yu hurried up to imprint a kiss on the corner of her mouth: "It's okay, ugly wife, I'm not scary...."
Afu looked at him like that, while being angry, her teeth itched, and at the same time, she was secretly glad in her heart, thinking that today was also a safe day.
