Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Cat That Steals the Fish

He Ningxin listened to Pei Shufen's words, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mrs. Ning Yuanhou's words are really from the bottom of her heart, and she can't say such a wise saying unless she has a painful heart."

Pei Shufen didn't expect He Ningxin to refute directly, and was stunned for a moment, He Ningxin had already taken out a fan of Tianshui blue pattern embroidered ink landscape, covered half of her face, and smiled at Countess Zhang next to her: "Countess Zhang's house is also full of flowers, a room of warblers and swallows, if you want to talk about the virtue of giving her husband a concubine, only Mrs. Ning Yuan can talk about the merits of giving her husband a concubine." - Mrs. Ning Yuanhou, yes and no? ”

Pei Shufen tasted the meaning of He Ningxin's words, and nodded with a smile on her face: "If you want to talk about such virtuousness, I can't compare to my eldest sister." - Those concubines, didn't they bring them in when my eldest sister was there? ”

He Ningxin also nodded and said, "Then Mrs. Ningyuan Marquis should hurry up and catch up." There is already a table of mahjong at home, so why not have another table? ”

Pei Shufen deliberately said nonchalantly: "If our Hou Ye has a beloved, I will naturally bring him in, and no one else needs to open this mouth." - The men in the world are all eating from the bowl, and it is not surprising to look at the pot. ”

He Ningxin refuted Pei Shufen's words at this time, shook her head and said, "This is not appropriate. How many men have you just met? It classifies all the men in the world into one category, which is too partial and comprehensive. According to me, there are many kinds of men. It's not that Mrs. Ning Yuanhou didn't meet a good one, so she treated all the men in the world as hungry and people, and pulled the dirty and smelly ones into the house casually, right? ”

Pei Shufen grabbed He Ningxin's words and chuckled: "It's rare for the Duchess of Zhenguo to be so naïve. As the saying goes, there is no cat in the world that does not eat fish. The Duchess of Zhenguo will never think that your cat is different, right? ”

He Ningxin also smiled and asked rhetorically, "Mrs. Ningyuan is really a good teacher. I don't have a cat at home, but I agree that there is no cat in the world that doesn't eat fish. It is the nature of cats to eat fishy, just like people want to eat and drink, what is wrong? ”

Pei Shufen covered her mouth with a fan, laughed, and seemed to be a little surprised, raised her eyebrows and said: "The Duchess of Zhenguo is smart and clever, how can she not understand this common saying?" He Ningxin tapped the fan on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't hold on to the Duchess of Zhenguo, we all understand." Everyone is a fellow traveler, and the Duchess of Zhenguo is not alone. ”

He Ningxin took a few steps back, avoiding Pei Shufen's somewhat frivolous moves, and said with a straight face: "Forgive me for being ignorant, I really don't understand the meaning of Mrs. Ning Yuanhou's words. Please be more careful. ”

Pei Shufen saw that He Ningxin was unrelenting, and wanted her to look good, and when she asked, she sighed and said, "Isn't it that you and I married those men......" pouted at the men's seat in the flower hall opposite.

In terms of bickering, when He Ningxin was still Pei Shufan, she had been fighting with several brothers. However, at that time, they played the sharp edge in Zen and quoted scriptures, and ordinary people really couldn't hear it.

Of course, He Ningxin would not fight with these unfamiliar people, but the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and said, "I don't understand this." Why did Mrs. Ning Yuanhou compare the men in her family to cats? - You know, I'm married to a man, not a beast. Mrs. Ning Yuanhou should not plant the things that the beasts did on my grandfather. ”

The faint smile on Pei Shufen's face couldn't hold on any longer, her face suddenly became very ugly, and she said calmly: "I'll talk to you well, why are you scolding?"

He Ningxin's eyes fluttered, and she glanced at the ladies who were listening to the verbal war around her, and then looked back at Pei Shufen, and said slowly: "How can I scold you?" It was you who compared your lord to a cat. Aren't cats brutes? I don't think the person I'm married to is a brute, and you don't believe it. Everyone," He Ningxin glanced around at the lively lady again, and said with a smile: "I was listening here just now, I didn't say it wrong, right?"

The people around him giggled, and when they saw Pei Shufen's face flushed and speechless, they scattered around, not wanting to embarrass Mrs. Ning Yuanhou too much.

He Ningxin also bowed slightly to Pei Shufen and said, "Lost company." After speaking, He Ningxin shook the fan with a smile and walked out of the flower hall with light steps.

Pei Shufen stood alone in the hall, her face flushed with anger, and she remembered that she was a guest at someone else's house, so she endured this breath.

Coming back from the Marquis of Jinxiang's mansion, Pei Shufen took Tongyue straight back to the inner courtyard of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. But when he entered the second gate, he saw a little maid standing there, and when he saw them coming, he turned around and ran.

Pei Shufen knew something was wrong, looking at the little maid, like the little maid next to Tongxing. Tongxing was originally Pei Shufen's dowry maid, but a few months ago, he was touched by Ningyuan Hou Chuhua and made a room.

Today, Pei Shufen went to Jinxiang Hou's house for a banquet, and Chu Hua said that there was something in the military department and he wanted to go on an errand, so he didn't go in person.

Pei Shufen thought it was no big deal, so she only took Tongyue out. - It seems that for some people who have a heart, they really can't relax for a moment.

Looking down and thinking about it, Pei Shufen did not go back to Zhonglan Courtyard, but turned around and went to Mrs. Tai's Cining Courtyard.

At this time, it was the end of September, the weather was sometimes cold and sometimes hot, and Mrs. Tai suffered from asthma, so she only recuperated at home and did not go anywhere.

Seeing Pei Shufen coming in, Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "Is the Hou family in Jinxiang lively today?"

Pei Shufen hurriedly smiled and said, "My mother didn't go today, it's really a big loss." The Hou family of Jinxiang invited a famous southern opera troupe in the capital to sing well. ”

Mrs. Tai is old and loves to watch dramas, and she often chatters at home on weekdays to invite the troupe to come to the door. Chu Huajin said that the troupe outside is not clean, so he has to raise a group of small troupes at home. When Mrs. Tai wants to watch the play, she can watch it when she wants.

Pei Shufen knew that Chu Hua was a drunkard and did not mean to drink, so he persuaded him to live or die. He also said to Mrs. Tai, they are the queen's maiden family and relatives, and they must be cautious about their words and deeds, and they must not be arrogant and domineering like before, and offend all the people around them. Like Hou Ye's previous bad habits of playing with dramas and playing with women, he must quit in order to re-establish the image of a capable minister in front of the saint, otherwise, the queen's major affairs will be hindered.

Mrs. Tai couldn't listen to anything else, but she heard the benefits of the queen's mother clearly, and she agreed very much when she heard the words, and said: "It's still Shu Fen who can see far and understand." Your sister used to be too small-bellied. knew that relying on the majesty of the queen's mother, she was domineering outside, and she also made the boss infamous outside. The boss has not been reused by the saint all these years, it's all your sister who is confused! He took Pei Shufen's hand again and said with relief: "Thank God for changing you to the door, otherwise...... Alas! "A look of reluctance to go on.

Pei Shufen was happy in her heart, and hurriedly came over to make fun: "Mother, why are you boasting and boasting, and you are sad again?" - Mother rest assured, with a daughter-in-law sweeping here, she will not let Ningyuan Marquis Mansion have anything to do. Now that Hou Ye's talents have been developed, he has to be reused by the saints. The queen mother ...... in the palace, "I remembered that the eldest princess said that the saint had snubbed the queen a few days ago, and I was a little hesitant, and I didn't know whether to make it clear to Mrs. Tai.

Seeing that Pei Shufen wanted to speak and stopped, Mrs. Tai hurriedly asked, "Daughter-in-law, if you have something to say, just say it." What else can't we say? ”

Pei Shufen's words swirled in her mouth, and she changed her mouth again, and said: "Mother, a few days ago, my daughter-in-law swept into the palace, and I heard the queen mother say that she was thinking about her mother very much, so that if she is free in the future, she will go into the palace to accompany the queen mother." ——Seeing that the eldest prince is about to choose a concubine, the queen is waiting for her mother to help her make an idea. ”

Mrs. Tai was really attracted to it, and nodded busily: "Ming'er will go to the palace to see Niangniang."

After talking for a long time, Mrs. Tai was a little tired and coughed.

Pei Shufen hurriedly served Mrs. Tai's eldest maid and waiter, took medicine, and lay down to rest.

After messing around in Cining Courtyard for a long time, Pei Shufen felt that Zhonglan Courtyard should have been finished, so she took Tongyue back from Cining Courtyard.

Back at the gate of Zhonglan Courtyard, Pei Shufen saw that the gate was open, and only an elderly janitor sat under the eaves to bask in the sun.

Pei Shufen's face sank, stepped into the threshold with his hand, and walked to the upper room.

In the past, there were two maids guarding the door of the upper room, and there were also maids and women serving in the house.

Pei Shufen entered the hall, but did not find a single figure, and was about to have a seizure, when the sound of men and women gasping and frolicking came from the back room.

Pei Shufen was furious. - She's already given face, what else?!

"Tongyue, you go out to see if the dinner is ready for the evening." Pei Shufen turned around and instructed Tongyue, not wanting her to see the situation in the house.

Tong Yue understood, hurriedly curtsied and retreated, and walked quickly to the kitchen.

Pei Shufen straightened her clothes, coughed again, and then walked to the inner room.

The female voice in the room stopped quietly, and only the man's breathing voice could be heard.

"You move, good Xing'er, just like just now, move again, Master Hou and I'm almost there, it's almost there...... Oh...... Hard...... Clamp the ...... hard" Chu Huajin's low flattering voice came from the room, just like when he was on the bed with Pei Shufen.

Pei Shufen stopped at the door, not knowing whether to go in or not.

I heard a thin female voice in the room, "Master Hou...... Madame is back......"

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the bed tent shaking, and the man's rough panting was louder and louder, and the woman could no longer suppress the moan.

Pei Shufen was finally so angry that she lifted the curtain, and just saw two naked female bodies sleeping side by side on the couch in the inner room.

When the two women saw someone coming in, they exclaimed and covered their faces with their hands.

Chu Huajin hurriedly hugged one with his hand, and vigorously fluctuated a few times, and finally sent it out.

Pei Shufen stood coldly in front of the curtain and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and let me out!" This is also where you can come? ”

The two women on the couch were Tongfang Tongxing and the former Mrs. Tai who gave Chu Huajin's eldest maid a hug.

The two of them hurriedly got up aggressively, picked up the clothes on the side and put them on.

Chu Huajin casually took the bed girdle and covered it, blushed a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "I'll be back early today."

Seeing that the two of them had gone out, Pei Shufen walked in, sighed at Chu Huajin, and said, "Master Hou, it's not the concubine who is stopping Master Hou." It's just a blue sky, if it spreads, it won't be good for Hou Ye's reputation. It was not easy for the saint to look at Hou Ye differently, if Hou Ye wants to do this, don't think about the saint entrusting Hou Ye with a heavy responsibility in the future. ”

Chu Hua listened to this, tilted his head and said, "When your sister was there before, she never stopped me......"

Pei Shufen walked over with a smile, and hurriedly Chu Hua took his clothes and put them on, and said softly: "Then Hou Ye can think about it, when Hou Ye could do whatever he wanted, he could be happy?" - It's just that I'm at home and have nothing to do, so I just pass the time with these people. Hou Ye is a person with great ambitions, but he is not determined for a while, so he is obsessed with women. To say something that shouldn't be, my sister only knows how to please Hou Ye and misleads Hou Ye's future. Now the words of the concubine are just loyal words. ”

After listening to Pei Shufen's words, Chu Huajin also felt that he had been mistaken by Pei Shufan before, and the expression on his face gradually became serious, looked at Pei Shufen, and said in a low voice: "...... It was my fault. I am happier than anything else that you can think about my future. As he spoke, he pulled Pei Shufen over, hugged him in his arms, and sighed with satisfaction.

Pei Shufen endured her sour breath, leaned on Chu Huajin's arms, and continued: "The Hou Ye is the husband of the concubine, and the concubine is of course dedicated to the Hou Ye, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and the queen's mother. - Hou Ye will work hard in the future, make a shrewd and capable appearance to show the saint, and let the queen mother rest assured. ”

Chu Hua hurriedly promised: "Not again." - In the future, I will only guard you, as well as Aunt Qi and Aunt Fang, and other women, I won't even look at them, okay? ”

Pei Shufen raised her head from Chu Huajin's arms, squinted at Chu Huajin in a charming manner, and said in a greasy voice: "Don't worry, Master Hou." If Hou Ye wants anything new in the future, the concubine will accompany him, and he will never let Hou Ye hold his ......"

Chu Huajin saw Pei Shufen's soft and delicate appearance, his heart fluttered, and he rubbed her towering breasts with one hand.

It's a pity that today he is one against two, and he is really out of ammunition and food, and he can't get up for half a day.

It rubbed Pei Shufen out of breath, and on the top of the spring, he didn't give up on him.

Chu Hua was helpless, got up and went to the bottom of the small cabinet on the side to take a few Golden Gun Pills and eat them, before turning around and carrying Pei Shufen from the couch to the bed.

Pei Shufen gently pulled the bed rope on the side of the bed, and two rows of curtains fell from the bed frame, covering the entire bed.

After a while, there was a gurgling sound inside, and gradually, the movement became louder and louder, and the whole bed frame shook more and more......

In a few days, it was the time for this year's government trial list.

In the Zhenguo Mansion, the second young master Jian Feizhen was restless, wanting to see the list, but also worried that he would be hit if he fell off the list.

On the post road outside the capital, several high-headed horses were galloping at this time.

Fan Shicheng, the king of Anjun, and Jian Feiyang, the prince of Zhenguo, were returning to Beijing from the northwest with a group of followers.
