A gust of wind blew, and Li Shen saw his wife standing in front of the window, with low eyebrows and a smile, and she wanted to speak. He reached out of the window to touch his wife's face, but she shook her head at him. Li Shen smiled bitterly, his hand rested in the air, he stared into his wife's eyes, and said softly: "I'm sorry!" ”

Today is a day of great joy for Li Shen.

His mother got up early in the morning to arrange for him, and even the clothes worn by the groom and the official child were instructed to rest on the head of his bed, and when the auspicious time came, she would personally clean up for him. Li Shen has always been obedient to his mother's arrangements, but whenever he thinks of his wife, he always feels a little guilty in his heart.

"There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great!" That's what my mother always said. When he spoke, he always glanced at his wife, but his wife lowered her head and did not say a word.

As a husband, he also tried to defend his wife, but before his mouth could be opened, the words that came to his throat were swallowed again. His mother has been widowed for half his life, and it is not easy to pull him up with hard work. As a son, he didn't want to make his mother sad because of his words. As for his wife, he believed she would understand, because she was always so understanding.

The sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside, and Li Shen glanced at his wife again, got up, and closed the open window.

He said, "Wan'er, you know, that's not my intention. ”

"Master, the auspicious time has come, and the old lady has ordered the slave and maid to come and change your clothes."

The maid Dongmei pushed the door in, with a ball of joy on her face, he looked at it, but inexplicably felt a little obstructive.

"What about Mother?"

He asked, not so loud that he couldn't hear anything.

"The old lady originally planned to come in person, but a distinguished guest came ahead, and the old lady said that she could not be lazy, so she ordered the slave and maid to come."

"Guest?" Li Shen raised his eyes: "Where are the distinguished guests?" ”

"It's the little marquis of Xue Mansion, I heard that he is a close relative of our new wife. When she first came over, the slave maid took a look at it, this Xue Hou Ye brought a big gift. ”

Li Shen squinted, but he couldn't remember what this little Marquis Xue looked like. Also, there are many nobles and relatives in Luoyang City, and there are not hundreds of marquis, but dozens of large and small marquis, and it is normal for him to not remember it when he first enters the capital. His mother was better at dealing with such a scene than him, and many of the nobles he knew were pulled by his mother, but from the bottom of his heart, he was a little disgusted.

Li Shen knew that his mother was planning for his future, but was this kind of future really what he wanted?

Bitterness, from the heart, crawled down the throat to the mouth, bitter, astringent.

Dongmei was dressing him, her boneless hands sliding down his shoulders and sliding over his waist intentionally or unintentionally. He knew what she was planning. It's because I know it, so I think she's more and more an eyesore.

"I'll do it myself!"

"Isn't it good for the master to think that the slaves and maids are serving?" Dongmei asked, with a hint of coquettishness.

"Nope!"

"Really, not?" Dongmei stepped forward and pasted it on Li Shen, and grabbed his waist with her hand: "The slave knows that the master is an intercessor, and he will definitely not forget his past affection." The old lady said, and after the new lady entered the door, she asked the slave and maid to come and serve the new lady, and ...... By the way, I will also serve you, master. ”

Li Shen was a little disgusted, and he pulled his clothes, forcing Dongmei to let go of his hand.

"Let's wait until the new lady gets in."

"Isn't the master willing?" Dongmei turned to Li Shen and carried a pair of aggrieved, almost tearful eyes: "It's still that the master dislikes slaves and maids when he has a new lady." ”

Li Shen opened his mouth, he thought that he couldn't say anything hurtful, but he never thought that he would hear the sentence the next moment: "You are a vulgar girl, I hate you, what can I do?" ”

Dongmei was stunned. She first pursed her mouth, and then tears flowed down her face.

"Dongmei knows that she is just a girl, unlike the new lady, she is a young lady who knows how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but isn't the lady in the past like Dongmei, who doesn't understand anything?"

"What did you say?" Li Shen asked, his eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of coolness in his tone.

Dongmei bit her lower lip, raised her eyes, and looked at Li Shen with a slight stubbornness.

"The slave maid inquired, and the lady in our house before was also a country girl who didn't know anything, but you never disliked it, master."

"Smack!"

A crisp slap landed on Dongmei's cheek.

Dongmei was stunned, and Li Shen was also stunned.

He had never beaten anyone, but now he did it because Dongmei mentioned his wife. The palm of the hand is slightly numb, and it turns out that when you hit someone, not only will the other party's face hurt, but you will also feel a little uncomfortable.

"What qualifications do you have to mention Wan'er and compare it to mine?"

Dongmei wanted to argue, but when she met Li Shen's eyes, the stubbornness in her eyes was erased. She knelt on the ground with the corner of her clothes and said in an aggrieved voice: "It's the slave's fault, it's the slave's arrogance, the slave is not qualified, and she shouldn't be compared with the previous lady." But master, no matter how vulgar and unbearable the slave is, it is still your man. The slave knows that she is from a humble background, and she doesn't dare to think that she can be favored by you, nor do she dare to hope that she can have a place to settle down in this mansion, so she just wants to be able to serve the master in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"Mother, what did she promise you?"

The old lady said...... The old lady said that when the new lady entered the door, she asked the old man to take Dongmei as a concubine. ”

"Mother, she's really going to do it."

"The lord is an upstart in the capital, so naturally there must be a few people around him. The old lady said, she is not at ease, and she is also worried that those messy people will enter the house, which will affect your future. Although the slave and maid are from humble backgrounds and do not know what poetry and songs are given to these elegant things, the slave and maid are obedient and have the master in their hearts, which is the most suitable to serve by the master's side. ”

"You say to an old lady, what about you? Are you willing to do it yourself? ”

"Slave maid ......" Dongmei raised her head, made a shy expression, and then lowered her head again: "Slave maid is willing." Didn't the old man forget the intimacy with the slave and maid that night. ”

A blurry picture flashed through Li Shen's mind, and he instantly felt like he had swallowed a fly, and he felt more and more disgusted. He glanced at Dongmei, who was kneeling on the ground, in disgust, and said coldly: "You know best what you did that night. ”

"Not only the slave and maid know, but you should also know it, master." Dongmei raised her head, with a question in her eyes.

"Do you want to die?" Li Shen leaned over slightly: "What do you think of me?" Is the upstart in the capital a fool in your eyes? The reason why I didn't pursue it is because I know that all your actions are backed by your mother's support. I don't want to make my mother sad, so I don't have to make it difficult for you, but you don't seem to know the benefits of pretending to be stupid. ”

A trace of horror flashed in Dongmei's eyes, and then as if she thought of something, she threw her entire upper body to the ground.

Fear, but it does not mean death.

She shook her shoulders and muttered in a low voice, "The slave and maid definitely don't dare to take you as a fool, master." That night, it was indeed the old lady who arranged for the slave to serve the master, and the soup was also handed over by the old lady to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid were brought to the master to drink. But sir, slaves and maids are just slaves and maids, and what the old lady tells the slaves and maids to do, the slaves and maids dare not listen to them, and they dare not do them. Even if the master is unwilling, the slave and maid are not willing, it is always a fact that the master wants a slave and a maid. The slave and maid did not dare to think that the master would take the slave and maid to his side as a concubine, but begged the master not to dislike the slave and maid, and let the slave and maid serve in front of him. ”

"Let's go!" Li Shen took half a step back: "Leave from my room!" I don't want to see you! ”

"Sir—"

"Get out!"

Dongmei looked up and pursed her lips. got up, walked quickly past Li Shen, and stood still at the door.

"Master, the auspicious time is coming!"

Li Shen shook his hand and didn't say anything. Dongmei bit her lip, lowered her head, and walked out.

The wind blew in through the open door.

Li Shen turned around slowly and saw his wife standing at the door.

"You're complaining about me, aren't you?"

The wife shook her head.

"I know you don't blame me, but Wan'er, I resent myself and hate myself."

Li Shen said, his eyes red.
