Chapter 25: Tired of Love

Wen Du opened his arms and let Xu come over and untie his clothes.

Xu Shi approached, and Wen Du looked down to see that her hair was as smooth as satin, lined with the bright lights and candles in the room, but she seemed to be quiet and smooth.

Wen Du curled her lips and chuckled.

Between Xu's breaths, the tip of her nose lingered with the faint ink fragrance between Wen Dui's robes and the smell of "Taiping Pine" that had been infiltrated in the palace for a long time, and the delicate fragrance went straight to her heart, smoothing her slightly restless heart, as if immersing her face in a coat of mink, Xu smiled and looked up, unbuttoned the button on Wen Dui's jacket close to his neck, and a Peugeot smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "There are many affairs in the palace, and the master is afraid that he is very tired, so it is better to lie on the soft couch for a while, and I will rub your head?" ”

Wen Du looked down at Xu's white and tender hand that unbuttoned his clothes, and his fingertips soaked in rose dew every day looked soft. Thinking about it carefully, she is already thirty-two, but she is still so young, which is really rare, but Wen Duan is not interested, and said in a dumb voice: "I don't feel tired, what kind of fragrance do you have, I have never smelled it, it is so delicate." ”

When Xu Shi heard this, his fingers that flexibly unbuttoned his clothes froze, and he suddenly felt tasteless, and a wisp of melancholy floated in his eyes, and he couldn't help but respond with bitterness: "This is the plum blossom slim I applied on my body, this kind of balm is secretly made in the palace, and all women who are pregnant, have traces on their bodies or have a thick belly because of this, as long as they use this incense for five or six years, they can lose weight." ”

Wen Du let out an "oh" and said lightly, "I see." ”

I see? Wen Dui's indifferent tone made Xu's heart ache, and his self-esteem as a wife was torn apart by this indifferent tone.

She has been using this incense for five years, a full five years, and it turns out that in the past five years, Wen Duan has not found out that she is using this incense.

Xu's eyes were bitter and sour, Wen Duan took a sip of the tea in the self-poured silver pot on the table, drank the warm tea, and then sat on the soft couch, looking at her slightly stunned look from the blue lotus entwined branch mirror opposite, and couldn't help but say, "Why stand in a daze?" ”

Xu Shi smiled reluctantly: "That Qinglian Entwined Mirror was purchased three years ago, I want to change to a new one, I don't know which Treasure Pavilion in Beijing is good, so I am in a daze." ”

Wen Du frowned and said, "Yes, how do I remember that this dressing mirror has been on the table for several years, isn't it your dowry?" ”

Xu hooked his lips, his eyes were flattering, he wrapped a strand of hair behind his ear with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Yes, it turns out that master, I still remember that this dressing mirror is Hui Min's dowry." Hundreds of combs of hair, thousands of clouds and sideburns, green lotus branches intersect with leaves, and they are inseparable year after year. Gold and silver hairpins, white jade rings, husband and wife in front of the dresser, morning and twilight thoughts like honey. The meaning of this bronze mirror with green lotus entwined branches and leaves is so beautiful, the old man can still remember it. I almost forgot. ”

Wen Du only felt pretentious, confused, thinking, if you really don't remember, how can you still remember such good words as "the green lotus branches intersect with the leaves, and the years are not separated", however, the words came to his mouth, but he swallowed back, Xu has always been like this, and he wants to say long and pretentious words to you at every turn, Wen Dui raised his eyebrows, and stopped speaking.

Seeing that Wen Duan seemed to be sleepy, Xu Shi felt bitter in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The master is tired, then let's go to sleep and rest." ”

When Bao Xin heard this, she hurriedly called Liushuang, and Liuzhu came in and slept on the smoke cage outside, in case the old lady got up at night to call people.

Liushuang looked at the room, Bao Xin came over and lowered the curtain, and patted his hand on Liushuang's face, "Don't peek." ”

In the inner bed, Wen Duan sat on the kang couch, the love of his life was Aunt Xiao Ruen, because she went, so he felt very interested in the ladies and aunts in the house.

It is as if those who have seen the most beautiful flowers in the world no longer look down on the rest of the vulgar flowers.

Moreover, in order to calm down some rumors and speculations about the Xu family's unfavorability and Wen Duan's favor concubine and wife, he had to linger with the Xu family several times, and the Xu family now gave birth to Yuyan Yuwan Yucong, and no one can say that she is not favored.

So Wen Duan didn't bother to face the Xu family.

Seeing that he was interested, Xu thought about it, but there was no reason.

She doesn't know that men don't love you anymore, even if you do your best, you won't look up to him, not to mention, Wen Du has never loved her.

Xu thought about it, and suddenly thought that it was Yujun's participation in the ceremony, which made Wen Duan have an opinion of himself, so he used the usual method to push the matter on the old lady, and the golden hairpin with two peaches and branches was shining in the treasure box on the side, and it was even more conspicuous in the light of the lamp and candlelight.

Xu thought that it was the old lady who proposed to let Yujun participate in the ceremony, and he just asked the old lady for advice, so he said to Wen Du with confidence: "I pity Yujun's child." The first time I appeared in front of the second room, if there was a mistake in the etiquette, I was afraid that I would be laughed at. ”

Xu pretended to be heartbroken, and sat beside Wen Du softly, the apricot blossom red cotton tent was hooked with a gold hook, and the fat cotton tent lined Xu's slender posture, she said softly: "It was the old lady who pointed out that Yujun wanted to participate in the ceremony, and I disagreed in my heart." I'm actually worried, I haven't gotten along much with the aunt in the second room, I don't know if it's a broken mouth and loves to chew her tongue, in case there is the slightest mistake in Yujun's treatment of people in the future, what will happen if they pass on the joke. For Yujun's sake, I don't want her to go to the sacrificial ceremony, the ritual is repeated and redundant, and a careless is a joke. But the old lady told her to go. ”

Xu's motherly style, what she said, inside and out, was heartache Yujun, everywhere showed that everything was the old lady's meaning, Xu was just a messenger, although she was the mother of a house, but she didn't have the slightest sense of speaking. makes people think that she is in a lowly situation and is lovable.

Wen Du only felt that he should be stunned when he heard this, Xu's attitude was the same as his previous subordinate who had nothing to do and loved to be in the limelight, shirk responsibility when there was something, and left himself clean.

With such a two-faced subordinate, Wen Du can still find an excuse to demote him to the outer land, but his wife has to live and bear it if he acts like this.

Wen Du misses the calm, silent, and empathetic Aunt Xiao even more.

Xu Shi said and said: "I have already informed the second old man's mansion about Yujun's participation in the ceremony. If the old man thinks it's inappropriate, don't be angry with the old lady, if you want to be angry, you should be angry with Huimin. It's just that Hui Min didn't dare to dismiss the old lady's words, and Hui Min was impatient. ”

Wen Du only felt that the overnight meal was going to regurgitate. It is not a day or two for Xu to show that he is aggrieved when he hurts people.

In the past, Aunt Xiao was still very self-blaming, saying that the Xu family was the daughter of the eunuch and the emperor, and her personality was gentle and generous, and it was because of her own entry into the mansion that she was forced to make a pitiful gesture in order to win Wen Dui's pity, so some of the Xu's unpopular methods, Aunt Xiao felt that it was understandable.

Wen Du used to look at Aunt Xiao's sake to fulfill Xu's face everywhere, but now he is really too lazy to perfunctory. In front of Xu's tirade, he replied slightly, "Oh." He just lay down.
