Chapter 9 The Shocking Side
At the same time that Shen Yun accepted her first disciple, Xiao Cong was participating in the poetry meeting, but it was not the poetry meeting of the bachelors, but the poetry meeting of young people, if it wasn't for Ling Xifei pulling him, he didn't want to come.
In this regard, Lingxi is also very helpless, who made him have too few concubines, and now there are only two of them, one is the crown princess, and the other is the Liu family who has served him since childhood, and he, who has been married for so long, only gave birth to a daughter with the Liu family, not even a son, so that as soon as she came back from the fiefdom, she was nagged by her uncle, asking her to quickly lead her brother around, get to know more little ladies, in case she meets the one she likes, she can quickly bring it back to the East Palace and spread out for the royal family.
Hearing this, Lingxi responded honestly on his face, but he only felt funny in his heart.
Even if he doesn't go out to attract bees and butterflies, there are a lot of little ladies waiting to pounce on him, but no one looks down on him.
But since he has answered the emperor's uncle, he still has to do the errand. So, under her soft grinding and hard bubbles, Xiao Cong finally relented and agreed to go to the poetry meeting with her.
It's just that those children of the family suffered, and as soon as they saw that the East Palace was coming, they invariably laughed at themselves in their hearts: yes, the morning bath and incense, shaving and cleaning the face, it is a toss in vain, no matter how fine they dress, as soon as the East Palace comes out, how can these little ladies still see them in their eyes.
Therefore, even if Xiao Cong didn't say a superfluous word in the whole poetry club, those little ladies were still addicted to it, including the daughter of the big Sima Zhao Da's family, Zhao Yue.
She had long heard her father and brother talk about the East Palace, and she clearly knew the ins and outs of the East Palace's persuasion of her father and brother back then, and she was fascinated at that time, and now that she has seen his demeanor with her own eyes, she can't extricate herself. But she also knew that her father and brother were actually more willing to support Jinyang Jun Xiao Xuan, the reason was very simple, Donggong was unparalleled in wisdom, they sighed to themselves, and they were very worried that one day they would usher in the end of the cunning rabbit and the death of the lackey, so they would rather gamble on the less smart Jinyang Jun. In this regard, Zhao Yue often sighed, her father and brother were smart and confused for a while, what is Jin Yangjun, in her opinion, such a pearl as the East Palace will be what everyone expects.
So, as soon as she returned from the poetry club, she began to lobby her father and brother, asking them to take the initiative to propose marriage to Jinshang, and after lobbying to no avail, she began to use some extreme tricks: one crying, two troubles, and three hangings.
But she didn't hang herself, she went on a hunger strike.
On this day, Zhao Yong was sent by his father to see her sister who was on a hunger strike, and after persuading her with kind words but still to no avail, she was also a little angry: "Come on, what are you pretending, how can you be on a hunger strike for half a month and still jumping around, full of anger and quarreling with others." Today, I will tell you plainly, if you don't marry the East Palace, you won't be allowed to marry, besides, people already have the crown princess that Ming Media is marrying, what do you say you are marrying? A girl doesn't know self-love. ”
Zhao Yue originally closed her eyes and pretended to be dead on the collapse, but when she heard this, she was also angry, turned over and got out of bed and went to all parts of the house, turned out all the snacks and fruits she hid and threw them into the court, crying and pushing Zhao Yong out of the door: "I don't care, I'm going to marry the East Palace, you guys take care of it." ”
After saying that, he closed the door with a "bang", went back and lay down on the couch, and really went on a hunger strike, and in less than two days, he was already dying. How could Zhao Da be willing to give up the pearl in his palm like this, so he sighed helplessly, immediately wrote a note, and found Jinshang the next day, and as soon as the two old men were combined, they decided on the family matter. After Xiao Cong heard about this, he couldn't laugh or cry, but now it doesn't matter, there is one more woman around him and one less, it doesn't make much difference to him. What's more, marrying the daughter of the Zhao family is also a good thing, at least she can entrap her father and brother, so she happily accepted it.
So, under the explicit hint of the Zhao family, even if he didn't welcome him in person, he welcomed back his crown prince Liangdi with a guard of honor second only to marrying the crown princess, but when he was entangled with her on the wedding night, he was still thinking that it was Ah Yan, and he had not been able to enjoy such a wedding gift. However, looking at Zhao Yue, who was already asleep in his arms at that time, he still had some pity, people gambled their happiness for him, even if they didn't love it, they had to treat it well.
Soon after Zhao Yue entered the East Palace, Liu, who had served Xiao Cong since childhood, gave birth to a baby boy, and the crown princess was pregnant for the first time, and then gave birth to a daughter. Who knows, less than two years later, the boy died, and everyone regretted it, but there was nothing to be done.
His first son was inexplicably gone, Xiao Cong was naturally sad, but at this time, he was stuffed into the palace with Wang Fengyi, and he was even more depressed, one night he pulled Su Huaijin, the right minister on duty in the palace, to drink and get drunk, and woke up to see a naked woman sleeping on the couch, and thought for a long time before remembering that it was the palace maid who served him the first night. He could only sigh, put her in the East Palace, sealed a Li Ji, and treated her well, but never touched her again.
At the same time, Shen Yun also ushered in a turning point in his life.
That day, she took Nansheng to finish reading in the morning, and still went to the practice room to practice dancing in the afternoon, when the teacher suddenly ran in and said excitedly: "My little ladies, your opportunity has come." ”
When everyone turned their heads to look at her, she said again: "Wait a minute, there will be a great nobleman coming, you must behave well, you must know that the husband and Feiyan back then were both born as dancers." ”
When Shen Yun heard this, he laughed in his heart, son-in-law? Feiyan? Could it be that it is the Jokhang East Palace?
Of course, it was not the Jokhang East Palace, but the Jokhang Jinyang Jun Xiao Ling, Xiao Chengxi.
Shen Yun knows very well in his heart that his appearance is clear and beautiful, not the type that makes people amazing at first sight, in a place like the Jiaofang Division, it is actually quite a loss, after all, there are many kinds of customs in the workshop, and there are many people who can seduce the soul at a glance, and he may not be selected. Besides, that place may not be much better than the Jiaofang Division, the scene she saw at the gate of the Shu Palace when she was twelve years old is still fresh in her memory.
Even so, in line with the principle of being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day, she still put on fine makeup and danced with everyone in the venue.
Who knew that after Jin Yangjun finished her dance, she didn't look at the rest of the people, and only said to the people below: "This person Benjun took it away, and you can negotiate the rest of the things." ”
As he spoke, he really picked up Shen Yun, who was still kneeling on the ground and was stunned, and Shi Shiran left.
When she arrived at the Jun's Mansion, Shen Yun was led to a small courtyard surrounded by apricot blossoms, surrounded by a group of servants and maids to bathe and freshen up, and when the toss was over, she came to the couch and saw that Xiao Ling was already sitting there waiting for her.
She knelt on the ground: "The concubine has seen Wang Jun." ”
Xiao Ling raised her eyebrows and asked, "They said, your name is Xue'er?" ”
Shen Yun didn't answer, but said, "Please give the name to the king." ”
Xiao Jue smiled slightly, "You know the rules, so let's call Man'er." As he spoke, he held out a hand to her.
Shen Yun naturally knew what he meant, so he also reached out and put it in his hand, and the next moment he was pulled into his arms, and Shen Yun served him as if he had served guests in the past, without going into details.
On the second day, Xiao Ling left after grooming, and Shen Yun came to the bedroom of Mrs. Wang Xiang early according to the rules, only to see that there were already many concubines waiting under the corridor.
At this time, someone "whispered": "I don't know what Wang Jun thinks, it's really getting more and more ridiculous, why do you get all the dirty and smelly things in the house, and Mrs. Jun doesn't care." ”
Although Shen Yun had been prepared in his heart for a long time, knowing that his identity would be criticized, but now that he really heard it, he still felt heartbroken.
Fortunately, the door opened soon, and these people rushed in, Shen Yun naturally walked last, and when those people had saluted and returned to their seats, she walked in front of Wang Xiang, knelt on the ground, and said: "The concubine sees Mrs. Jun, may Mrs. be happy forever." ”
At this time, someone had already whispered in Wang Xiang's ear: "This is the Manji that Wang Jun brought back from the Teaching Workshop Division yesterday." ”
Wang Xiang raised his eyebrows, "Manji? After speaking, he sneered, and said, "Look up and let Gu take a look." ”
Shen Yun had no choice but to raise her head according to her words, and Wang Xiang looked at her carefully, sneered again, and waved his hand at her: "Okay, let's stand on the side." ”
The crowd listened, gloating and thinking, standing? That's right, such a slut is only worthy of standing like a servant.
Shen Yun honestly stood to the side, thinking with some frustration, sure enough, this place is not as good as the Jiaofang Division.
Finally, after finishing the process of setting the province, Mrs. Jun gave a few more words to everyone, then waved her hand to let them all disperse, and Shen Yun was pardoned, so she also saluted with everyone and came out silently after them.
Wang Xiang looked at the back of Shen Yun leaving, and said in his heart, Manji, hum, this old man is nagging me every day that I am not as good as her dead niece, I can't give birth to a son, and my temperament is not smooth enough, so Xu Yan was pregnant with a son in the first child, and didn't she be killed by your aunt. That's all, and now even this little one can't forget her, right? Okay, very good, don't you keep saying that I can't have a son? Then the little lady you got back now, don't think about giving birth to a son.
Thinking so, she called her maid Moon Seal, and gave her such and such an order, and the Moon Seal went away.
But said that Shen Yun was led back to the residence, as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he saw a residual red, and his heart suddenly felt a sense of loneliness, and when he entered the house, he saw that his box of makeup had been transported from the teaching department, she sat bored in the middle of the pile of things, looked out the window and was stunned, and I don't know how long it took, suddenly a waiter led a maid to her and asked her to give her a name, she knew that this was the maid that Xiao Xuan rewarded her, and thought about it: "Then call it Wanqing." When I asked her age, I politely called her "Sister Wanqing".
After that, Wanqing consciously packed up her things, she looked at it for a while, and felt that there was nothing to worry about, so she took out a play book from the cage and sat aside to flip through it idly. When Wanqing had almost packed up her things, Yueyin suddenly came in from outside with a food box, walked in front of Shen Yun, and blessed her body slightly: "Mrs. Jun said that the lady has worked hard to serve the king, and instructed the villain to send the lady some decoction to replenish her body." ”
As he spoke, he opened the food box and took out a bowl of swarthy medicinal soup, Shen Yun immediately smelled the familiar smell, couldn't help frowning slightly, and said lightly: "Thank you, Mrs. Jun, there is also Sister Lao, let it go first, and the concubine will drink it later."
Yueyin smiled coldly and said: "The lady should drink it quickly, wait a little bit, the effect of the medicine will not be good, there are so many concubines in the house, Mrs. Jun only rewarded the lady, this grace, but it is the only one." ”
Shen Yun slandered, rewarding the grace of the avoidance soup, do you want it? But he still took the decoction in Yueyin's hand, frowned and drank it in one gulp, and endured a churn in his heart: "Thank you, Mrs. Jun." ”
That Yueyin saw that she had drunk the medicine honestly, so she smiled and said goodbye. After that, every time Xiao Jue was lucky, she could get this "grace" alone, but no one was jealous of this, who didn't know what it was, and even Wang Jun acquiesced to such a favor, which shows that she is also a plaything.
At the beginning, Shen Yun also reacted in his heart, but after a long time, his skin became thicker, and he was a plaything, as if he was not a plaything with you. As for the shunzi soup, I've been drinking it for so many years anyway, so it doesn't matter if there is one more bowl or one less.
However, Xiao Ling's attitude surprised her a little, not only did he often come to see her, talk to her, and accompany her to eat, but what was even more rare was that he was willing to play chess with her, although he won in less than two games, but the two of them still talked and laughed when playing. And he is even more generous when he rewards her things, Shen Yun is also a person who has seen some of the world, and he is often a little surprised, not to mention those low-level concubines, their eyes are so hot that they can't see it, and even Wang Xiang is sometimes very jealous, so they try their best to toss her openly and secretly, but the way of survival in the harem of Mrs. Zhong back then was not told to her in vain, and she was not so easily harmed by these people, at most, she only lost some face from time to time, does she still care about these now.
However, what moved her the most was that Xiao Ling always maintained her in front of others, never drove her to play the piano and dance in front of others for their entertainment, and even once got angry with Wang Xiang in public for this kind of thing. Although in private, she occasionally felt that he still treated her as a servant, which was especially obvious in the matter of the bed, he always seemed to be venting something, arrogant, and liked to force her head to force her to do some lewd behavior, but she thought about it afterwards, and she was relieved, probably men in the world are like this in this kind of thing, at least she has seen it, all of them.
After a long time, she gave birth to some husband and wife feelings for him.
This person, as soon as he is emotional, he will lose his sense of proportion and will want more.
On the sixteenth day of the winter moon of this year, Xiao Ling still stayed here with her, lingering, Shen Yun suddenly blushed and said, "Is Wang Jun free tomorrow?" Can I come over for dinner? ”
Xiao Jue saw that she looked very cute shyly, and besides, he was in a state of confusion at this time, so he agreed without thinking about it, but the next day he went to a banquet in the house of a clan disciple, and completely forgot about it.
didn't know that Shen Yun had his promise, so he started to prepare happily the next morning, and also made the dishes with his own hands, warmed the wine, and sat quietly in the house waiting for him to come back.
But she waited until the third watch, and when the silver candle was about to burn out, but she still couldn't wait for him.
She thought that on the sixth day of the first month of a certain year, she also waited for a day and a night in a red wedding dress, and did not wait for the person to wait, and her heart suddenly hurt so much that she couldn't help herself, so she had to borrow wine to drown her sorrows, and as a result, the wine was sad and drunk.
But he said that Xiao Ling waited until the banquet was over and walked on the road, so he remembered that he had promised Shen Yun, and came directly after returning home. As a result, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Shen Yun, who had drunk too much wine and was retching, and a disgusted expression suddenly appeared on his face.
Shen Yun was already disheartened, but when he saw him coming, he immediately rejoiced again, and he didn't see what his expression was, so he got up and threw himself into his arms.
Xiao Jue was naturally very annoyed, and slapped her with his backhand, this blow woke her up half of the wine, covered her face and fell to the ground, crying in a daze, Xiao Jue saw it, and didn't come to pull her, and pointed at her angrily: "Look at you like that." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Afterwards, of course, Xiao Ling couldn't take the initiative to show goodwill, although Shen Yun himself felt a little ashamed, how could he drink like that, he felt ashamed, let alone blame others for disliking you, but he was still unwilling to give in first, so the two of them were stalemate and did not meet, and after a few days, the people in the Jun's mansion said that this Manji had fallen out of favor, so they also didn't have eyes on her, and her nose was not nose, and in the end, under Wang Xiang's hint, not only did she drag her example and didn't give it, but even Wanqing's case silver was also deducted, Shen Yun thought, It's just that I do it myself, I can't even affect others, besides, the hero doesn't suffer the immediate loss, and Han Xin can even endure the humiliation of his crotch, what am I. So I had to endure this breath, personally washed my hands and made soup, and ran to Xiao Ling to talk, but fortunately, Xiao Ling just ridiculed her, and forgave her, and the two reconciled again.
In this regard, she can only think self-deprecatingly, this is the lack of people's hearts, a king of others, it is rare to treat you so preferentially, what do you want? How can there be so many sincere young people in this world, even if there is, I'm afraid it's not to wait to meet you.
Over the years, although she has taken many things lightly, but when she thinks of this, her heart hurts like a needle prick, she probably did a lot of sins in her previous life, so she will have such a bumpy life in this life, except for her family, how can others really cherish her.
She couldn't help but open the dark compartment of the makeup, took out the green pendant of Changsong, played with it, and talked about condolences. The pendant, which she had taken off before her first guest, was in her dress, and though she was not a martyr, she was still ashamed, and was reluctant to wear it on her body, feeling that it would defile it.
So three years of time, just in such a hurry, these three years, she has to say easy, not easy, after all, to step by step, to avoid those guns and arrows, it is also a very laborious thing, to say that it is not easy, but it is still much easier than the days in the teaching department, after all, she now does not have to cater to different men in order to survive, just need to serve a Xiao Ling, as for those who were dissipated by his slap in the face, although it is long gone, but people, staying together for a long time, how much still have feelings, even if there are occasional disappointments, As long as the years have been quiet, it is also a great blessing.
However, in the afternoon of this day, while she was playing with her pendant, she saw a little maid running in outside, and after saluting, she said to her: "Lady Man, Wang Jun sent someone to say that he wants to play chess with you later when he comes back from the school field." ”
Shen Yun listened, smiled and said to her, "Got it." ”
When the little maid left, she took the pendant, looked at the apricot blossoms outside the window and the light rain, called the evening sunshine, moved the chessboard to the porch, and let her cook tea, and drank tea while quietly waiting for Xiao Jue.
Who knew this, but what was waiting for was the shocking side of the East Palace.
