Early the next morning, Ouyang Zhen got up to leave. Chu Huotian grabbed her waist, blindfolded her sleepy eyes and smiled, "Let's sleep again." It's still early. ”

Ouyang Zhen looked at the sky and hesitated: "If the concubine doesn't leave, wait for someone to see it." As he spoke, he gathered the thin shirt on his body and was about to get out of bed.

Chu Huotian pulled her over, and Ouyang Zhen fell on top of him, his chest, his muscles were firm, warm and warm, and very comfortable. Ouyang Zhen leaned on his chest, and he didn't want to get up lazily.

"If you see it, you see it, didn't you say last night that it is a matter of course to come to see your husband, what's the matter, and now you are afraid that people will know?" Chu Huotian teased her, but his hands wandered around her dishonestly.

Well, I haven't seen her for a month, and she has grown a lot of flesh on her body, and she is no longer a bone when she touches it.

Ouyang Zhen was tickled by him, and couldn't help giggling, his head was slightly tilted, revealing a piece of snow-like skin on his neck, Chu Huotian smiled evilly on his face, and then kissed it, the two laughed for a while, Chu Huotian hugged her and let out a long sigh of relief: "I really don't want to get up." There's a lot going on every day. I can't get enough of it. ”

Ouyang Zhen leaned on his chest and smiled faintly: "Master Hou is in a high position, so he naturally has to work a lot, but there are some things that Master Hou will let go of his subordinates to deal with." If Hou Ye is higher in the future, won't he be so tired that he vomits three liters of blood? ”

Chu Huotian's heart shook suddenly, the hand holding her waist couldn't help but tighten, squinted his eyes slightly and asked slowly: "In your opinion, how high can the power of this Hou be?" It's already cold from the heights. Further up, if you fall down, there are no bones left. ”

Ouyang Zhen was secretly sarcastic in his heart when he heard this, but he raised his head and wondered slightly: "Master Hou has made great contributions to the Chu State, can't he be promoted again?" If this is the case, why is the Hou Ye working so hard every day, wouldn't it be better to be a rich and idle Hou Ye after he gave up those positions early? In this way, the concubine may be able to see the Hou Ye every day. ”

Chu Huotian was speechless for a moment, where did he not understand this truth, if he could disperse this position of power and spend a leisurely life, it would also be planted quickly. It's just that he set foot on this road, but he can't help himself anymore.

Surrounded by tigers and wolves, you can't make a mistake, and a mistake is a situation from which you will never recover. He caressed her, thoughts churning in his heart. Ouyang Zhen saw that he was distracted and understood that he was torn and entangled in his heart, so he lowered his eyebrows and pointed to draw circles on his chest.

Chu Huo was distracted for a long time, looked down at her complexion, and saw that her expression was as usual, so he said again: "I hurt you last night?" ”

Ouyang Zhen shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just that what Hou Ye sometimes says makes the concubine's body and heart hurt even more." Don't say those things in the future. Although the concubine used to be the concubine of Hua Guogong, now she just wants to find a stable place and raise Ling Xiang well. There is no other luxury. In Chudi, the concubine is like duckweed, and the Hou Ye is the only big tree that can be relied on. If the Hou Ye treats the concubine with a thin affection, it is really ......" said, also sad in his heart, with three points of Xiao Suo, only sighed lowly.

Chu Huotian only hugged her tightly, and only said after a while: "Don't worry, I brought you to Chu Jing, and I won't ignore you." ”

Ouyang Zhen looked up and smiled at him.

……

The two slept until the sun rose, and the maids and servants outside did not dare to urge, just waiting for the summons from inside.

Chu Huotian simply freshened up, and Ouyang Zhen was also served by Wan Hui to comb it, and then went back to the courtyard. When I got out of Chu Huotian's study, I saw that the maids in the courtyard were all staring at her. Ouyang Zhen smiled faintly, and Tingting curled back to "Jingyun Pavilion".

Wan Hui smiled and said to Ouyang Zhen: "Madam, the slave thought that she would go back to the courtyard earlier, but she didn't expect the Hou Ye to stay with the lady for so long." ”

Ouyang Zhen walked slowly on the bluestone road, along the way the summer scenery was mellow, the flowers were red and willow green, but his whole body was sore, and he smiled lightly when he heard the words: "It's not the same to go back early and return late, how many people are staring at that courtyard." I'm afraid that this time, Fuzhong will definitely have a good trouble. ”

Wan Hui didn't care: "Madame, don't be afraid of them, they're just a bunch of bullying minions." It's only been three days since the slave and maid packed the ticket, and those people have to come over to ask the lady to laugh with her. ”

Ouyang Zhen only smiled when he heard this, and stopped talking.

What Wan Hui said really worked. Ouyang Zhen went to the princess to ask for peace on the second day, and several ladies were kind to her, but the Liu family was as enthusiastic as before, and Concubine Chu also showed her special inquirement.

Ouyang Zhen was everywhere and was not arrogant, and Concubine Chu looked at her with a little more appreciation.

On the third day, Ouyang Zhen was playing with Ling Xiang in the courtyard, when suddenly a few elderly steward-looking people came to the door, probing their heads as if they were about to come in. Ouyang Zhen gave Ling Xiang to Ming Ying and walked into the house.

After a while, Wan Hui entered the room and said with a smile: "Madam, the two account stewards outside and the inner house steward are coming to greet Madame." ”

Ouyang Zhen took a sip of chrysanthemum tea, nodded and said, "Call them in." ”

After a while, the two stewards entered the house, Ouyang Zhen raised his eyes slightly to look at them, and saw that both of them were gray-haired people, thinking that they had been doing it in the Hou Mansion for a long time, and their eyes were shining, and they thought they had seen a lot of the world.

The two stewards stepped forward to salute, and one of the round-faced and small-eyed stewards said with a laugh: "The old slave Wang Fu originally wanted to see his wife in the morning, but now he is finally free. Last time, because the silver in the account room was counting the points, I missed the monthly silver of the seventh lady, but now that the inventory is completed, the silver can be released, and the old slave brought it with him. I hope that the Seventh Lady will be more patient. ”

As he spoke, he asked a servant in the back to serve it. Wan Hui took it and handed it to Ouyang Zhen. Ouyang Zhen opened the red silk and took a cursory look, and there were as many as four hundred taels, enough for two months of monthly silver.

Ouyang Zhen saw him staring at his movements, smiled, asked Wan Hui to accept it, and said with a smile: "Steward Wang is too troublesome, and he has to send it in person, I heard that Hou Ye said that Steward Wang's Ling Lang is good, and he has a bright future in the future." ”

Wang Fu's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, and he bowed respectfully and said: "Thank you, Seventh Lady Jiyan, the old slave family is only here today by relying on the shadow of the Hou Ye." Don't dare not serve without dedication. ”

Ouyang Zhen nodded and praised: "Steward Wang is really hard and troublesome. ”

Another steward looked at the emptiness, hurriedly squeezed forward, bowed and said: "The old slave is Zhang Ling, the steward of the inner house, today with the king steward came to meet the seventh lady, I often heard the house say that the seventh lady is gentle and generous, and it is excellent to treat people, and now it seems that it is true, a few days ago, I thought that those boys under his command miscalculated the lady's example, and gave the wrong one, and today it is also brought together." Hope that the seventh lady will forgive her sins. ”

Ouyang Zhen saw that he was thin and small, but his eyes were as shrewd as electricity, so he nodded and said: "Steward Zhang is in charge of the affairs of the mansion every day, and he works hard every day, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes occasionally. After speaking, seeing the color in his eyes, Ouyang Zhen turned his words: "But if the Hou Ye asks about the newly made clothes and hairpin rings in the house, the concubine is really embarrassed." This time, the Hou Ye asked 'Qian Xuanluo' that it was very cool, why didn't she wear it on her body. Hey, it's really hard to reply to the concubine. He sighed as he spoke, with a hint of resentment on his beautiful face.

The cold sweat on Steward Zhang's forehead fell. If there is still an excuse to say that the moon silver is a day or two late, but this silk silk worn outside can be seen with the naked eye. One room is given, and the other rooms should be available.

But he had a hard time, so he had to eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering, so he only said a few words, and hurriedly asked the little guy to serve the example.

Ouyang Zhen took a rough look, and only felt that the jewels in the box were all exquisite. What purple jade butterfly hairpin, Qibao exquisite hairpin, spring swallow beads pinched golden silk Huasheng, etc., dazzling, excellent workmanship. The newly made clothes are cool and breathable one by one, and even the famous "monthly payment" in Huadi can only be comparable. No wonder Chu Huotian can remember this fabric.

After reading it, Ouyang Zhen nodded, and said a few more polite words to the two of them, and the two of them retreated.

Wan Hui saw the two of them leaving, entered the door, and said, "Madame should give them a dismount, how can you let them go so easily." I don't know what we don't know, and we are afraid of them. ”

Ouyang Zhen ordered her to withdraw the cold tea, and said with a light smile: "Auntie, are they really so bold to bully me as a new lady?" Anyway, I'm still their master. If it weren't for the instructions of someone behind them, they wouldn't have dared to be so fierce after eating the leopard's guts. ”

Wan Hui only skimmed it. Ouyang Zhen frowned slightly, thinking carefully, who was behind her to instruct her to do this. I couldn't think of anything after thinking about it, so I didn't think about it.

Since that day, Chu Huotian has been resting in Ouyang Zhen's courtyard for two or three days in the middle of the decade, and the people in the "Jingyun Pavilion" are naturally very happy, but Ouyang Zhen often warns his subordinates to be cautious in their words and deeds, and not to be arrogant.

Needless to say, the maids below are still eleven or twelve years old and a half children, so they naturally obey their words.

Chu Huotian came a lot, and said to Ouyang Zhenzeng: "Your yard is a little smaller, why don't you ask Hui Wan to arrange a better yard for you another day." "Hui Wan is Concubine Chu's maiden name.

Ouyang Zhen said: "This courtyard is clean and secluded, and the concubine likes it tightly, so there is no need to change it, thank you Lord Hou for your concern." "Jingyun Pavilion" is a little far away from all the courtyards, Ouyang Zhen likes to be quiet, and naturally refuses to live with them. Besides, Ling Xiang is getting bigger, if there are more people coming and going, there will be more right and wrong.
