Volume II-17 Journey to Luoyang (V) (I)

++++++++++++++++++ the dividing line of Luoyang's trip (V) (above).

Nearly four watch days, Yingxue was carried out of the study by several subordinates in a soft sedan chair and walked towards the guest house. Although there was a mother-in-law with an umbrella and a thick blanket on her body, she still felt cold, cold from the heart out. A snowflake floated on her face and melted, making her feel even more unbearable and crying.

The mother-in-law with an umbrella next to her looked at her and felt pitiful, so she had to persuade her: "Girl, don't feel wronged, you don't know when you come here, our lord never leaves a woman by his side for the night." Ye still cherishes you, didn't he just tell someone to make you tonic soup? ”

"Why, I also know that for a helpless woman like me, it would be good if the old lady could take me in, where else can I expect anything else. How can I complain so blindly, I'm just crying because of the pain in my body. ”

"Oh oh, that's good, being a woman always hurts once, and it will be fine later. If you want to say that our lord, no matter how you look and you are, you are waiting well, and your wife is also generous, if there is a man and half woman, your blessing is still to come. ”

"Hopefully." Yingxue was a little absent-minded, could she have that opportunity to give birth to children for him and ask for a place to live? The body pain is certain, she didn't think that Zhou Haizhi, a quiet scholar, would be so fierce in doing things, and there was hardly a piece of intact skin on her body at the moment. But she had to admit that she had fallen in love with this man.

Tonight, Mrs. asked her to follow Chun Geng to the study to inquire about the layout of the guest room. After saying a few words, she was a little distracted, this man was not only handsome and straight, but also clean and refreshing, and the faint sandalwood fragrance on his body mixed with the unique breath of men. She often wondered how such a refreshing man could live with the woman who was buried in the prefect's wife. Ever since she had been taken in with them, she had discovered that he had only one or two nights a month to go to his wife's room, and that he would come out in less than an hour. Sleeping alone in the study for a long time. She had been here for so long, and she had never seen him call the two ladies to wait for him. It can only be said that he is a clean and self-righteous man.

When this man asked his subordinates to leave tonight and talk to her alone, she was a little at a loss. She was trained by her master since she was a child, and in order for them to be able to complete their tasks, it was essential training to deal with men. Except for not doing the last thing, she already didn't know how much she had been kneaded. originally thought that she should have no feelings for men. But when he approached, she was still flustered, and she didn't need to pretend deliberately, she was already red-faced. When he grabbed her waist, her heart was about to jump out.

However, when he pinched her chin and told her that if she followed him, she could only be a concubine forever, and would never be straightened out, and his wife could only be his current wife, her heart ached. She actually imagined it. Even if you can only be a concubine forever, it would be nice to be by his side all the time, but... She tried to move her body and lie down under the blanket a little longer, but it hurt a little, but the pain reassured her. With a slight smile, no matter what the road ahead, she gave herself to the person she wanted, even if she died today, she had no regrets in this life. Thinking of his vigor just now, there was more comfort in my heart. She could feel that he liked her. Yes, of course such an outstanding adult would like her more than the sloppy wife.

At this time, the small courtyard in the northwest of Zhou's mansion was lit up early in the morning, and an eight or nine-year-old girl cleaned up neatly and walked out of the courtyard door to the big kitchen. She is the orphan of Ah Zhi's colleague who adopted in Bixian a few years ago, Fanghua's father is the county Cheng of Bixian, her mother died early, and her father died of illness in Bixian when she was more than two years old, when Fanghua's father gave her to Ah Zhi. Although Mrs. Zhou is a rough person, but she is kind, she had just married Ah Zhi at that time, and she had no children of her own, although she didn't know how to take care of the children, she was still enthusiastic to take Fanghua and raise her by her side. In the past few years, although she has done nothing, she has Fanghua by her side, and the child is sensible and caring, which is also a comfort to her. It's strange to say, Mrs. Zhou has been married for many years, and there are two rooms, and Ah Zhi has not come out yet. I usually have time to teach Fanghua to read and write, and I invited the necessary Xixi to raise Fanghua according to everyone's beauty. The top and bottom of this house also regarded Fanghua as the young lady in the family.

Since coming to Luoyang, not long after settling down, Ah Zhi plans to hire a master for her again after the New Year, and she has helped Mrs. Zhou take care of the housework and prepare for the New Year. Ah Zhi's family has just come to Luoyang, and there are many chores to deal with in the new family. Mrs. Zhou was impatient with many things, but Fanghua was careful and helped her mention them one by one. Mrs. Zhou was also willing to hand over half of the housekeeping to her. Now I don't need to see the master in the morning, just Wen Shu, Fanghua also consciously got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast porridge for his father-in-law and mother-in-law in the morning.

Although it was a little cold in the morning, the air was fresh, and I took a deep breath and felt refreshed. Thinking about the recipe for health porridge that I learned from books in the past few days, I happily walked with the medicinal herbs that had just been cellared in my house in the past few days. As soon as I walked past the wall in front of the rockery, I crashed into the soft sedan that turned around, and some of the medicinal slurry in my hand was sprinkled on the soft sedan car.

A strong smell of medicine and wine came to her nose, and the medicinal slurry wet Yingxue's clothes, only to see a little girl pounce on the soft sedan chair, and Yingxue slapped it irritably. Fanghua was unable to stand on the soft sedan before she pounced on the soft sedan chair, which was pushed by someone, and she was even more unstable, and fell to the ground again. The snow on the ground was turned into ice because everyone walked around, and it was difficult to stand firmly, not only did it fall firmly on the ground, but it also slipped out a long way, and its head hit the presser foot of the flower platform, and blood suddenly appeared, and the medicinal pulp in his hand also flew out.

I couldn't see it clearly when it was dark, and Yingxue thought it was the little girl who was on duty at night. Now her own identity is different, although she has not yet crossed the path with his wife, but she is already a prefect's woman, how can she tolerate such a mistake by her subordinates. Seeing the girl fall down and couldn't get up for a while, she didn't care, she was still angry, and said angrily: "Where did the little girl who doesn't have long eyes come from, how do you teach you how to discipline you, three watches in the middle of the night, you hit the corpse?!" ”

The mothers-in-law who carried the soft sedan chair were all left behind by the original prefect's mansion, and they were all powerful people who could look at their eyes. Now that Yingxue's status is different, of course they follow Yingxue and don't care about the girl who fell. It's the mother-in-law who holds an umbrella, who has followed the prefect's family for many years, and the masters are all pitiful to the old and the poor, and never abuse their subordinates. Not to mention this icy and snowy place, it is an ordinary day, it is not easy for a little girl to be on duty before dawn, not to mention that the noise was so loud just now, the little girl fell very hard, she felt unbearable, and hurried over to take a look. was stretching out his hand to help the little girl get up, when he heard Yingxue say coldly: "Why, you ran away, who gave me an umbrella to block the snow." If I freeze and can't wait for my lord, are you responsible? ”

She didn't wait for Mo Mo with an umbrella to speak, she watched Mo Mo help the girl to stand up slowly, obviously she couldn't die, so she continued: "Which yard are you on duty, The Yun Luo yarn on my body just got on my body today, and now it has been destroyed by you, and I have to deduct your monthly money to pay for it." ”

The mother-in-law who was holding Fanghua had already found that it was not an ordinary girl who fell, but Miss Fanghua, who just wanted to make a sound, but was pinched by Fanghua's arm, she was stunned, and before she could speak, she heard Miss Fanghua say: "Which yard are you the master?" Or are you a guest from our house? If it is a guest, I will show my wife Ming'er, and go to the treasury to receive a horse to compensate the guest. But there were no guests visiting the house these days. If you are the master of this house, your words are wrong. According to the regulations in this house, except for the wife, no one else can use Yunluo yarn, even the two Miss Liu and Miss Mao who are waiting for the lord have better only choose Xisha, and they never dare to cross the grade of the wife. In this way, I don't know which house this girl is, how can she appear in the prefect's mansion before dawn. ”

Although her head was bleeding and her face was a little pale, she looked a little weird in the dark night, her voice was crisp, and at this time she was a little more cold, and Yingxue was speechless when she asked a few words. Although Fanghua is young, she manages housework in ordinary days and learns all kinds of regulations, and she has already recognized this Yingxue. Although she hinted to her wife a few times that this Yingxue was not always as docile and kind as she was in front of the old lady, the wife always didn't understand what she meant, and was bent on accepting this woman for the old man. Fanghua has long been unaccustomed to her pretentiousness, and today not only injured her, but also slapped her, making her even less disdainful of this kind of person. Where is she worthy of her father-in-law, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not lead the wolf into the house and do something to hurt his wife and master at that time. Usually this Yingxue will pretend to be a pretend, but today she may think that the masters are not there, and she is so arrogant, since this is the case, she will block this scourge for her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
