Chapter 5: The Chess Pieces in Hand
"This ......" Mei Niang was a little embarrassed.
"What is this lady doing, now is a good time, but you have to strike while the iron is hot to capture the heart of the son. If this wind and cold spread, wouldn't it break the idea of the son coming here? ”
"It's his thoughts that are broken, as well as the thoughts of other people in the house."
Bai Zisu said, unconsciously smiled: "You reminded me, I have to think about it carefully, what stubborn disease is very contagious, I have to go back, it is best to cut off their thoughts forever." ”
"What is the lady talking nonsense!" Mei Niang gently patted the back of Bai Zisu's hand.
"Okay, I won't say anything, Mei Niang go quickly. Wind chill is really important, and I have to rely on it to protect myself. ”
"Why do you want to protect yourself?" Xiang and asked curiously. After testing the temperature of the decoction, he handed the medicine bowl to Bai Zisu.
"You don't need to ask, when I look at you, I don't have enough words." Bai Zisu knocked Xianghe's head.
"In this backyard, there is a master. In the past five years, we have been fine, and that's because my concubine is nothing. But as soon as the day passed, the situation was very different. You know, women are made of vinegar, and it's scary to be sour. And my identity is already at a disadvantage, as long as Mrs. Lu Wenmiao wants to fix me, you don't know how I will die one day. ”
The most important thing is that she is not uncommon to rob other people's husbands, why should she take the risk of being squeezed by jealousy.
"The lady's words are true, but she is indeed careless."
Mei Niang knew that it was sinister, and as soon as she said it, her face immediately changed slightly, and she got up and said, "I'll do what the lady said." ”
With that, he hurriedly walked towards the outside of Qiushui Pavilion.
Xianghe was still a little dazed, watching Bai Zisu drink the decoction in one go, and asked timidly, "Is it really that terrifying?" So what do we do in the future? ”
"It's fine." Bai Zisu grinned at the bitterness of the decoction, took the sugar lotus seeds that Xianghe handed her, swallowed them, and then reached out and patted Xianghe's shoulder: "Your lady's life is big, as long as I live, I will cover you." ”
"Lady......" Xiang He's teary eyes were hazy, and she nodded vigorously.
Suddenly thinking of something, she wiped a handful of tears and whispered: "Today's lady is not here, and the gentleman has sent a letter." ”
"Permitted?" Bai Zisu's eyes lit up: "Quick!" Show me! ”
Xianghe nodded, and hurriedly handed her a rolled-up letterhead.
Bai Zisu unfolded the letterhead and scanned it, stretched out his hand and put it on the lamp and candle, watching the paper slowly turn to ashes, and then smiled slightly: "He's back." ”
"The lady won't go out of the house, right?" Kawa asked nervously.
"If I don't go today, I can rest." Bai Zisu turned over and rolled himself up in the quilt, and said angrily: "Tomorrow, you and Mei Niang must help me guard it, and tell me how terrible and terrible my wind and cold is, and make sure they won't come in." ”
"What if someone has to go in?"
"No, it won't. How many people in this world are not afraid of death? Bai Zisu grinned, covered the quilt on his face, and didn't say anything more to her.
……
Half-asleep and half-awake for a day and a night, Bai Zisu really couldn't lie down, and before dawn, she got up.
Xianghe was boiling water in the house, and the sound of gurgling dispelled the chill before dawn.
brought a cup of tea to her, and Xianghe asked her, "Is it still the same dress as last time?" ”
"No, go and bring me the scribe's clothes and put them on."
Dressed neatly, Bai Zisu took a closer look, and asked Xianghe to take a piece of silk to cover the bruises on his wrists.
"Childe, how can he have such a heavy hand." Xianghe sighed sadly while wrapping the silk.
"What's this?" Bai Zisu didn't care: "He's not much better, his handsome face was scratched by me." I can at least cover it, but he can't cover it if he wants to. ”
Wrapped tightly in silk, Bai Zisu took the powder box and carefully pounced on his eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror, until the small cinnabar mark was completely covered.
"Why does the lady have to cover it up every time she leaves the house? The cinnabar birthmark is very beautiful, and it is in the center of the eyebrows, and it is even more beautiful than the flower made of gold leaf and dragonfly wings. Wouldn't it be a pity to cover it with powder? ”
Bai Zisu's hand holding the powder box paused slightly, and did not speak.
She couldn't remember why she wanted to hide that mark, it seemed to be a habit developed subconsciously.
If you have to tell a reason, it is about when he first entered the Lu Mansion, Lu Wenmiao mentioned the mark, saying that it was like mosquito blood, unlucky and ugly. In the years she has been in the Lu Mansion, Lu Wenmiao has not spoken to her much, and the only few times she has spoken contains this sentence.
At that time, Bai Zisu still cared a little bit about Lu Wenmiao, and after he said this, she was ashamed for a long time, and she didn't dare to look up at people for a while.
Later, after Mei Niang helped her cover it with white powder, she dared to raise her head. Later, it has been covered, and if she doesn't erase it, she won't feel comfortable herself.
Seeing that she was in a trance, Xianghe called her again, and she came back to her senses.
Putting down the powder box, and explaining a few more words of incense, Bai Zi Sulisuo climbed the loquat tree by the courtyard wall and turned out.
In the alley across the courtyard wall, a horse-drawn carriage was parked.
Lu Wenmiao was lazily leaning on the cushion, lifting the curtain with his hands, looking at her back.
"Master. Do you want to go down and stop her? Jing Ji looked at Lu Wenmiao's extremely ugly face and asked nervously.
"Not necessarily." Lu Wenmiao let go of the curtain, hooked his lips and sneered: "Send someone to keep an eye on her, as long as she doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, she will go." ”
It's just a stupid rabbit, what can you do when you go out of the house, a woman is shallow-eyed, and no matter how thoughtful she is, it's just for the trivial things in the backyard. Why should he waste time on such a stupid person, as long as he kept her life and used it for himself.
"Something out of the ordinary...... What is it? Jingji asked in a low voice.
Lu Wenmiao glanced at him with a dark face, and saw that he was at a loss, so he had to half-close his eyes and remind faintly: "She is no longer perfect, and it is difficult to test her loyalty." ”
Loyal? Jing Ji was stunned for a moment, and said with a little hesitation: "Didn't the master forget...... It's just a chess piece, and sooner or later it will break. Whether he is loyal or not will not affect the progress of the plan, so why should the master care so much? ”
"You don't understand." Lu Wenmiao smiled lightly, and tapped the wall of the car with his knuckles: "Even if it is a chess piece, it must be clean in my hand." ”
If there was no matter of Yanyulou, it would be nothing, but now that Bai Zisu is already his person, he will not tolerate her giving him a little green.
However, he won't have to wait long, as long as the momentum arrives and throws her into the right place, he doesn't care about her life or death.
After all, once a chess piece is thrown, even if it is dirty, it will not hinder his eyes.
