Chapter 13: Unreliable
The two chatted for a while, but Bai Zisu just listened silently, coughing twice from time to time, indicating that he was powerless.
Xue Ruolan didn't mean to stay longer, seeing that she was always coughing, she said something to let her recuperate, and left Qiushui Pavilion with her maids.
With a long sigh of relief, Bai Zisu leaned back tiredly.
"Our lady seems to be a very good person." Xianghe looked at the courtyard gate and said with a happy face.
Bai Zisu and Mei Niang glanced at each other, shook their heads silently, and did not speak.
This Xue Ruolan really can't find fault. But such a dripping cordiality also makes people have to guard against it. After all, it was her husband who spoiled the woman next to him, how could he not care.
But on this Xue Ruolan's face, she couldn't see a little bit of gloom and resentment.
Or, as Xianghe said, she is really a good master to get along with. Or, a thoughtful person.
If she were a simple person, it would be a great thing. After all, Bai Zisu has no desires in this mansion, he just wants to save his life. If others don't trouble her, she will naturally respect others from afar.
But this kind of cordiality, if it is disguised, will be very bad. It's always a little unscrupulous to be so quiet. If you don't step on her pain points, maybe it's better to say. If there is any conflict, it may be terrifying.
In Chang'an City, I don't know how many concubines are killed by the main room every year, and the soil slopes of Yizhuang alone are not enough to bury them. Anyway, concubines are as cheap as grass, and they are not even good citizens, even if they kill one or two, they will not violate the law.
And those husbands will not be angry with their wives because of this. Anyway, people can't be resurrected after death, they may be sad for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, they will go to find the concubine next to them.
So in this backyard, whether it's a man or a woman, it's all unreliable.
Mei Niang seemed to see Bai Zisu's worries, and comforted her in a low voice: "No matter what, there is nothing wrong with having a good relationship with Mrs. Even if you are a hypocrite, you are bound to maintain the posture of a gentleman, which is a good thing, as long as the lady does not provoke her. ”
Bai Zisu nodded hurriedly: "I think so too." ”
"But...... The things she sent, from the entrance to the dressing, still don't use it. Mei Niang carefully reminded: "Put it on the bright side, just coax her to be happy." ”
"Got it." Bai Zisu let out a long sigh and lay on the bed on all fours.
Where would she have thought that one day, she would be in such a situation like walking on thin ice.
and trembling, and dealing with people. It's hard work, it's better to make her really sick and happy.
Speaking of which, it's all to blame on Lu Wenmao. If it weren't for his proclamation of the world's favor, she wouldn't have been so afraid to deal with them. Isn't it good to be quiet?
His current approach was so weird, and it disrupted her pure and peaceful life.
"No way!" Bai Zisu looked at Fang Liang blankly: "I still have to find a way to keep him away from me, the farther away the better." Otherwise, people come to my yard every day, and I wouldn't be too aggrieved. ”
Getting up, Bai Zisu called Xianghe: "Quick!" Pen, ink, paper, inkstone waiting! ”
Xianghe saw that her depressed mood was swept away, and she immediately became excited. Like a gust of wind, he found the pen and paper hidden in the cabinet.
"Go and help me inquire again and see what kind of woman Lu Wenmiao likes?" Bai Zisu sat down at the table with a matter.
As long as she studies his preferences, she can go against him, so that over time, she will be able to completely fall out of favor. Perhaps, as soon as Lu Wenmiao saw that she was a woman who was hopeless, he would throw her in Qiushui Pavilion and never see her again. As long as Lu Wenmiao doesn't come, she will be safe in the backyard.
In this way, she can live a quiet and quiet life again.
Bai Zi Su Mei pondered, picked up the pen shaft, and waved four big characters on the paper-
Fall from grace strategy!
Xianghe didn't know what she wrote, and when she heard that Bai Zisu was going to ask Lu Wenmiao about it, she thought that the lady had finally opened her mind and was ready to join the grand cause of competing for favor.
So she rushed to the opposite side of Bai Zisu and said, "This maid has heard from the aunts of Huanyi, saying that our son is upright, and the bewitching and cheap goods outside are not close at all." Moreover, many high-ranking officials of the family wanted to send concubines to our son-in-law, but they were all sternly rejected by our son-in-law.
What do you say, I only like the kind of woman who is kind of lady...... The demeanor is gentle and elegant, and the general understanding of things. Be a woman and have good conduct. What's more, right! Virtuous, gentle, virtuous, deferential and ......"
The more Bai Zisu listened, the more it was not like that, and the words she said didn't match her.
"Stop, stop!" Bai Zisu interrupted her and threw the pen on the table: "Yes, what is deferential, what is despicable?" Isn't that? I don't think I need to write the so-called strategy, co-authoring me as a person in itself, it's a big strategy to overcome him! ”
"Don't say that, lady." Xianghe shook his head vigorously, and hurriedly helped the master find the bottom of the steps: "The lady still has advantages, such as ...... For example......"
Xianghe racked his brains, his face flushed, and he still couldn't find a suitable word in his head.
"Okay, okay, I really can't think of it, so I hold back my words." Bai Zisu saw that she was snorting for a long time, but it was too painful, so she simply waved her hand and lay back on the bed.
This time the effort is tossed, and the sky is almost dark. Bai Zisu didn't want to think about it so much, so he closed his eyes and was ready to get a good night's sleep. What falls out of favor or not, and it is not too late to think carefully about it when it successfully passes next month's banquet.
I just closed my eyes, but I couldn't sleep. Thinking of today's fear, I couldn't help but curse: "Damn Lu Wenmiao." ”
Imperial City, inside Suzaku Gate.
Lu Wenmiao sneezed.
Seeing this, Mrs. Su hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay Lu Zhongcheng?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Lu Wenmiao raised his hand slightly.
Su Shenzhi looked at him with concern again, then sighed and said, "Lu Zhongcheng didn't come to the Hongjiao Hall today, so he really missed a lively scene. ”
Lu Wenmiao raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "The Hongjiao Hall is full of officials today, and it is naturally very lively. ”
"What's the use of having more counselors?" Su Shenzhi shook his head: "Feng Shilang's mouth in the Ministry of Rites is swollen, just to persuade the prince to have fun with the eunuchs, but who knew that the prince actually called a few eunuchs in front of him to rub his shoulders."
Seeing this, Feng Ping was so angry that he hit the dragon pillar headlong. Oh, you didn't see it, it was really bloody, and the blood was flowing down the dragon pillar. The people on the scene were all moved to tears.
As a result, the prince pointed to the dragon pillar and said to the eunuch behind him, 'I have long seen that the vermilion lacquer on the pillar should be mended, but now it is just right, Feng Shilang uses blood as paint, but it seems that the dragon pillar is getting brighter and brighter', and laughed out loud after speaking.
Alas, Feng Ping was still dying, convulsing on the ground, and he didn't know how to feel when he heard what he said. ”
Su Shenzhi's voice became softer and softer, and his tone couldn't help but carry a little sadness and worry.
Lu Wenmiao listened quietly, but there was not even a trace of turmoil on his face, but he only groaned slightly, and said, "It is surprising that Feng Ping will admonish each other with death. As I recall, this person's official career seems to be quite smooth. ”
