Chapter 18: Slap in the face
"Yes." Qi Shi arched his hand and said, "Then the slave will retreat first." ”
Waving his hand, Feng Xiang said with a tired face, "Go ahead." ”
In the Begonia Garden, Liu was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, drawing her eyebrows and asking the maid to comb her hair.
"Qiaocui, have you boiled the ginseng soup that Mrs. Ben asked you to boil?" Liu picked up the eyebrow pencil, carefully traced the shape of the eyebrow, and put down the pen after drawing for a long time.
"If you go back to Madame, the ginseng soup was boiled half an hour ago, and now it is being warmed on the stove." Qiao Cuifu saluted and said.
"Well, well done, you will go to the housekeeper to receive the reward later, and it will be said that it is Mrs. Ben's order, Qiaoyu, you go and bring the ginseng soup." Liu looked at himself in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction.
When Qiaocui heard that there was a reward, she saluted happily, "Slave and maid thank Mrs. Xie for the reward." ”
Qiao Yu answered yes and turned around to go to the small kitchen to get ginseng soup.
"Madam, are you going to use this phoenix step shake or this jade step shake today?" The second-class maid Gu Yu asked after combing her hair in a bun, pointing to the two steps in the dresser.
"Let's shake it with this pair." Liu Shi glanced at the step shake in the makeup box, picked up the jade step shake and gestured on his head.
"Yes." Gu Yu took the step shake and put it on Liu's head, and took a pair of hairpins and hairpin flowers and inserted them on Liu's head.
"Madam, are you really going to find the master?" Mama Liu stood behind Liu, looked at her and asked.
Seeing that Mama Liu's somewhat wrinkled face was full of worry, Liu put down the earrings in his hand, turned around and took her hand and said, "Mama, I have been with the master for so long, the master will not be so cruel to me." ”
Looking at Liu's confident appearance, Mama Liu sighed in her heart, knowing that she couldn't hear anything Liu said.
Qi Shi walked out of the study, and before he walked a few steps, he met the eldest lady with Mama Liu and Qiaocui.
"Ma'am." Qi Shi lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Well, Steward Qi, can the general be inside?" Glancing at the study door, Liu asked dignifiedly.
"Mrs. Hui, my lord is handling official business inside." Qi Shi bent down slightly and said very respectfully.
When the eldest lady heard this, she slightly hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Mrs. Ben knows, thank you butler, Qiaocui." ”
glanced at Qiao Cui from the corner of her eye, Qiao Cui immediately understood, stepped forward with a smile, and said to Qi Shi, "Butler, the slave will send you."
Seeing this, Qi Shi restrained his smile and nodded at Qiaocui, and only after the eldest lady walked in front of him did he straighten up, looking at the back of the eldest lady walking towards the study, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
It wasn't long before he walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back.
The eldest lady Liu walked to the study, and the guards knelt down and saluted, "Subordinates see Madame." ”
"Hurry up, two adults, the general is here? My wife boiled a bowl of ginseng soup for the general to replenish his body, and I would like to ask the two adults to pass it on. Mama Liu stepped forward and said very politely to the two guards guarding the door.
"Mama is polite, the little one will go to pass it on, and please wait for a while with Madame and Mama." The guard on the left bowed with a fist, then turned and pushed the door open and entered.
After a while, he came out and said, "Madam, the general, please come in."
"I'm tired, Mama, you go back first, and I'll go back with my master later." Liu smiled at the guard, nodded, lifted the food box from Mama Liu's hand, lifted the skirt and stepped into the study.
"See the general as a concubine." After entering the study, Liu curtsied.
Feng Xiang put down the pen in his hand and looked at her a little indifferently, "I don't know what happened to Mrs. here?"
"General, last night's incident was that the concubine was not strict in discipline, so she committed such a big crime, and I ask the general to punish her." Seeing that Feng Xiang didn't let himself get up, Liu Shi felt a touch of disappointment in his heart, but his face was aggrieved, and he continued to bend his knees.
"Madame, let's get up first." Feng Xiang still had a cold face, and re-wrote and corrected the documents.
"General Xie, general, the concubine boiled a bowl of ginseng soup for the general to replenish his body, do you want to taste it." Liu deliberately wore an emerald green skirt today, covered with a cloak of the same color, and when she entered the study, she took off the cloak, and now she is only wearing an emerald green skirt.
I have to say that Liu's figure is still very good now, and a white belt not only did not make her look very fat, but also outlined her beautiful figure.
A head of hair was pulled up with a hairpin, Xu was at home, and he didn't wear a lot of hairpins on his head, but simply wore two step shakes, three jade hairpins, and hairpins.
Now she looks at Feng Xiang with affection, it is still very moving and attractive.
It's a pity that Feng Xiang was still unmoved in the face of her moving appearance, as if the person in front of him was a man.
Seeing Feng Xiang like this, the smile on Liu's face was almost unmaintainable, but he didn't expect that after so many years, the old man still didn't have her in his heart, and after so long, even a stone should be covered.
However, the only thing that Liu is fortunate about is that for so many years, except for seeing Feng Xiang be a little nicer to Feng Muqiu's wild seed that she didn't know where it came from, she is almost the same to everyone else.
But when I thought of Feng Xiang having taken that child with me since he was a child, this kind of treatment didn't even have her daughter, not to mention that Feng Muqiu's wild seed didn't know whose child it was.
When the general brought her back, she was only a few months old, but she didn't expect the child to grow so big so soon.
And when the child was brought back, she had only given birth for a long time, and she looked about the same age as Xiaobai, if she hadn't insisted, and the threat of the prime minister's family, I was afraid that wild seed would have occupied the position of the eldest daughter.
Thinking of this, Liu's hatred for Feng Muqiu became even heavier.
"General, the concubine specially ordered to stay up for three hours, the general tasted it, and the general was tired today, so it was better to drink a bowl of ginseng soup and rest." Seeing that Feng Xiang did not answer for a long time, Liu put the food box on the table, took out the ginseng soup from it, and walked to Feng Xiang's side.
"Liu, I respect you as the lady of this mansion, but don't be embarrassed, General Ben let you think about it behind closed doors in Haitang Garden, who gave you the courage to let you come out?" Feng Xiang suddenly slammed the pen in his hand on the table, looked at Liu with disgust on his face, and said coldly, "Go back to me and think about it, come on, escort Mrs. back, no one can be released without my order, if anyone dares to disobey, they will be dealt with by military law." ”
"General......" Liu's eyes widened in disbelief, she didn't expect Feng Xiang to suddenly become angry.
"General, the concubine knows that she is wrong, the concubine really knows that she is wrong, and she will not do this again in the future." Liu knelt on the ground, looking at Feng Xiang with tears on his face, wanting him not to be so cruel to himself.
