Chapter 238: Concubinage (5)
The secretary and supervisor Wang Mi had an appointment with Huan Xuan in advance, and at this time he took the lead in making a fuss, clamoring for Huan Xuan to bring out the two beautiful concubines for everyone to watch.
Huan Xuan nodded with a smile, and said calmly: "Thank you for appreciating the light today, such a trivial matter is not worth dealing with, but Neizi is determined to lift those two girls, which bothers you, since you are all here, I will naturally order my two concubines to come out so that you can see them." ”
How could anyone on the field not understand his thoughts, even if Huan Xuan claimed that the concubine ceremony was the meaning of his wife Liu, in fact, it was just to show the world that his Nanjun Mansion was restless and restless was just a rumor, if it was really Liu's idea, why hadn't Liu appeared until now?
Seeing through it or not saying it, it has always been one of the codes of conduct pursued by everyone in the officialdom, and they have already eaten and drunk in the Nanjun Mansion, how can they not be funny? Therefore, everyone opened their eyes and said nonsense, and praised Liu's virtuous generosity, Huan Xuan bowed slightly, accepting everyone's congratulations, and was in a very good mood.
The housekeeper stepped forward with the two newcomers in a timely manner, Huan Xuan first took Zheng's hand and gently introduced to everyone: "This is the Zheng family, who was born in the side branch of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and is thin and ugly, which makes everyone laugh." Everyone praised Zheng's beauty and praised her family, and the words of joy were endless.
Huan Xuan took Ah Xi's hand again, and introduced it warmly: "This is the Xu family, born in the Yingchuan Xu family, and it is also the posture of Pu Liu, how can you take a closer look." As he spoke, he wanted to let the two concubines retreat, but the guests refused to let him go, and they were determined to let him and the two concubines drink a glass of wine.
Zheng and Ah Xi were already shy, hiding from the side of their faces, not daring to step forward.
Huan Xuan was very interested, ordered someone to pour wine, hugged a beauty, and drank a glass with both of them, everyone applauded, and the guests and hosts were happy.
Although today is the concubine gift of the Zheng family and the "Xu family", but Huan Xuan still went to Liu's room honestly after the guests dispersed, since the last time she made a fuss, the people of the whole Jiankang knew about their ambiguous affair with Wang Fahui, Huan Xuan did not dare to despise her now, and could only comfort and coax her.
Ah Xi was sent into a new house in a daze, although this room was not as luxurious as Liu's inner room, nor as chic as Ji Yuzhai where Zheng lived, but she was still dazzled, and she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.
She wanted to ask the master or Dong'er to understand, but she was persuaded by the maids in the room to tell her word by word, where is the master you can see if you want to see? This house is what the master ordered you to live in, so you can live in peace. Ah Xin was frightened, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only live obediently under the service of everyone.
Zheng Yan had mixed feelings at this time, originally she saw the soft and weak beautiful girl "Xu's", she was a little uneasy in her heart, worried that Huan Xuan would go to her room on the wedding night, and snubbed herself, but now she saw that Huan Xuan was a bowl of water, and the two of them did not take special care, but went directly to the main mother's room, naturally they did not dare to complain, so they could only sit silently in their own room, quietly waiting for the red candle to burn out.
It's just that the married life she envisioned is not like this at all.
Hagi Niang's house was opposite Zheng Yan, and when she saw that she was sent back, and there was no trace of Huan Xuan, she put her mind at ease, walked outside her house, and knocked on the door.
Zheng Yan was surprised and delighted, and said in person in a hurry that was not polite: "Is it Huan Lang?" Come on in. ”
Hagi Niang walked into her new house with a smile and said narrowly: "My sister is confused, how can you knock on the door if your Huan Lang is coming?" ”
Zheng Yan couldn't help blushing when she saw that it was Hagi Niang, and said embarrassedly: "Sister Hagi, but come to see me laughing?" ”
On the wedding night, the husband was not around, it was really difficult for her, Hagi Niang sighed for her in her heart, but she still sat beside her affectionately, comforted her: "The identity of the Huan clan is noble, you naturally understand, the most rare Yes, the current Queen Mother is also quite fond of him, and now you feel embarrassed to stay alone in the empty room, but this is just the beginning." Huan Xuan is an ambitious man, and he has always been unprofitable and can't afford to be early, how can he be obsessed with the love of children and wait by your side? My sister has to think about it early, otherwise she will inevitably mistake herself. ”
Zheng Yan said unhappily: "Do you mean that my Huan Lang is only good to me for you?" Then why doesn't he just please you? Don't say that again, I won't believe it. ”
How do you know he's not pleasing me?
Hagi Niang chuckled: "I'm just thinking about our sisterhood that day, so I didn't care about the past to explain you, since you are obsessed, I have nothing to say, and see if your Huan Lang will be as I said, then you will understand that what I am saying now is for your good." ”
She saw Zheng Yan suppressing her emotions of wanting to cry, while firmly holding the pink bracelet in her left hand, she looked very cherished, and deliberately stimulated her: "Hey, my sister also has this bracelet, when Huan Lang gave me a pair, I thought one of them was not in good condition, so I only picked one, I think you are the other one." ”
Zheng Yan raised her head suddenly, glared at her and said, "I don't believe it, you take it out and show it to me." ”
Hagi Niang replied without any heart: "My sister said that she was laughing. If you hadn't deceived me out of Xie Mansion, how would I have come here, then I wouldn't have known about your plots, and how could I have brought that worthless bracelet with me? ”
Worthless bracelets......
Zheng Yan felt a pain in her heart, and tears finally couldn't help flowing, once upon a time, she was also the master who said the same at home, but now she has to act in the eyes of people everywhere, and abide by those humiliating "rules", even so, this is not enough, if you can't please the master's mother, how can you gain a foothold in this house, but how can you flatter this kind of ability?
If he hadn't been so gentle with himself, and full of sweet words to coax himself, how could he have fallen to this point now?
The uneasiness, panic, resentment, and dissatisfaction in Zheng Yan's heart all surfaced, and it was difficult to let go of it for a while, and the resentment was extremely resentful.
Hagi Niang saw that her words had taken effect, so she no longer said more step by step, but smiled softly: "Sister, don't worry too much, maybe I said something wrong, but your Huan Lang won't come tonight, you should rest early." With that, Shi Shiran went, and was very considerate to help her close the door.
