Chapter 148: Spring
Chapter 147: Spring
When Shui Qingqing let go of the last trace of panic and helplessness in her heart, everything became natural, including the husband and wife affair with Mei Zijin.
And Mei Zijin has been abstinent and light since the night of the Falling Moon Nunnery, but he is inexplicably obsessed with her body.
Therefore, after two years, she was with her again, but Mei Zijin was like a teenager who had just experienced love, she didn't know how hungry she was, and she fought until dawn, and then let Shui Qingqing go......
The sky was already bright, Shui Qingqing, who had worked hard in the middle of the night, was lying in the futon with a sore body, and saw Mei Zijin turn over and get up and get dressed, and wanted to get up to serve him to change clothes, but his body was sore and couldn't get up.
The 'culprit' was shaky, dressed refreshed, and didn't forget to look back at her and wink and smile, and said softly: "When I go out, I'll send Yun'er to my mother." You've worked hard, get a good night's sleep. β
The craze on Shui Qingqing's face that had just faded turned red again because of his words, and she glanced at him shyly, and said angrily: "I just returned home, I am so lazy, I don't go to the old lady to say goodbye, and I also throw Yun'er to her, what do you make the old lady think of me?!" β
"What can I think of you - it was her son who did bad things, how can the old lady blame you?!"
Mei Zijin said it seriously, but it made Shui Qingqing cry and laugh.
She blushed and said, "Anyway, I'll be lying on the bed as soon as I get home, like what?!" β
After that, she struggled to sit up, trying to take advantage of Xiaoxi's clothes before they came in, but she couldn't help but snort.
The body that was tossed by Mei Zijin for most of the night, and it was very sore when he moved a little.
And when she sat up, she found that she was naked, and she was so frightened that she quickly retracted into the quilt.
Hearing her coquettish snort, Mei Zijin turned around when she heard the sound, and was about to ask her what was wrong, but saw her like a rabbit, and retracted into the quilt again, and her exposed ears were so red that they were dripping blood.
Seeing her shyness, Mei Zijin couldn't help but feel itchy again, and stepped forward to take her body out of the quilt, but Shui Qingqing desperately grabbed the corners of the quilt, blushing and begging softly: "What do you want to do...... Aren't you going to the barracks, let's go, it's late......"
Mei Zijin smiled and said, "I have asked my subordinates to prepare a soup bath for you to relax your body, and I will carry you over." β
Shui Qingqing buried her head and said in a sullen voice: "No need...... Master Hou, let's go, I'll do it myself......"
"Then I'll let Xiaoxi and them come in and serve you......"
"Don't ......"
Shui Qingqing doesn't need to look at it to know what kind of virtue she is now, so many red marks, if Xiaoxi and the maids see it, how will she be in the future? !
She angrily shouted at Mei Zijin: "You go quickly, I'll just go take a bath by myself." Ah......h
She was not allowed to refute, but the next moment, Mei Zijin took advantage of her unpreparedness, quickly made a move, lifted her quilt, picked her up and walked to the bath room in the back compartment.
In the spacious bathtub, the soup that has been prepared to relieve the muscles and bones. Naked and shrunk in Mei Zijin's arms, she didn't dare to move, because she felt that someone's body was as hot as a fire, and it was like last night, even if it was burning through her clothes, she trembled......
Mei Zijin gently lowered her into the water. Shui Qingqing hurriedly shrank her body into the water, not even daring to show her neck.
thought that after sending her to take a bath, Mei Zijin would leave, but he didn't expect him to roll up his sleeves and put his hands into the water.
"You...... What are you doing? β
Shui Qingqing took a cotton towel to protect the spring light on her chest, and her face was so red that she was about to drip blood.
"Press it for you!"
Mei Zijin touched Shui Qingqing's legs in the water without blinking, and really helped her massage and pinch them seriously.
"Are you comfortable?"
Mei Zijin's voice was so spoiled that she was about to drip water, her eyes looked at someone with a shy face, ripped off the cotton towel that covered her face, and quipped: "I know that I am shy at this time, where did the seductive goblin go last night?" If Ben Hou remembers correctly, Ben Hou was dressed last night, and you ...... for me."
"Shut up!"
Shui Qingqing's face was so red that she was about to drip blood, but her charming and translucent fox eyes flashed with a seductive spring light, and she glared at Mei Zijin and said angrily: "Why don't you leave yet?" Don't come here tonight......"
Mei Zijin said: "Then where do I sleep?" β
"You sleep in your own yard......"
"I can't sleep alone...... Sleeping with you in your arms is the most comfortable. β
"Shameless you...... I'll lock the door tonight......"
"I have a key in every room in Shaohua Courtyard."
ββ¦β¦β
Shui Qingqing couldn't say anything about Mei Zijin, and such a scene was too shy, so she had to close her eyes and pretend to ignore him.
Mei Zijin helped her press her left leg, and then switched to the right side to continue to help her press her right leg, and said seriously: "You are cold and cold, Benhou will give you a warm quilt, isn't it much better than Tang Pozi." β
I have to say that Mei Zijin is very good at massage. Under his pinching, Shui Qingqing's legs were much more comfortable, and the soreness was reduced a lot.
Coupled with the soothing effect of the soup bath, Shui Qingqing, who had barely slept all night, actually fell asleep comfortably on the bath tub......
I don't know how long later, in the haze, she felt that she was carried out of the water by him, and the water stains on her body were also wiped clean for her, and she was changed into clean clothes, and then sent to the bed to cover her with a quilt.
The room was lit with her favorite mint fragrance, and also added a calming fragrance for sleep, and after soaking in the hot bath, she slept in the soft and warm futon and couldn't get up anymore......
After sleeping until noon, Shui Qingqing woke up hungry, and the moment she opened her eyes, she was stunned for a moment.
The warm sun after the snow passed through the azure alizarin curtain, and a halo of pale golden sound was crossed in the delicate and elegant room, which made the room more and more warm and exquisite, like in a fairyland, so that Shui Qingqing couldn't come back to her senses.
This was the first time she saw the situation in the house she lived in during the day, and she realized that what Mother Ye said to her last night was not a lie, and the house was full of beauty and intentions, comfortable and warm.
Xiao Xi, who had been guarding the outside, heard the sound inside, and hurriedly came in, and while waiting for her to change clothes, she smiled and said, "Miss is hungry, the slave has already prepared a meal in the kitchen." β
Shui Qingqing looked in the circle room and couldn't see Yun'er's figure, so she couldn't help asking, "Where is Yun'er?" β
Xiaoxi smiled: "Yun Gongzi was sent to the old lady by Master Hou in the morning. Hou Ye specially instructed us not to disturb the young lady's rest, and even the visit of several aunts, Hou Ye also helped the young lady refuse. β
Hearing this, Shui Qingqing was slightly stunned, the Tang family came to see them?
Shui Qingqing came to the round table outside, looking at the table full of dishes, Shui Qingqing couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Xiaoxi scooped her a bowl of Cordyceps duck soup and said with a smile: "This is what Master Hou instructed the kitchen to make for Miss before he went out." There is also this superb blood swallow, which was made by Master Hou in the kitchen for Miss - it is said that Miss is too weak, let Miss make up for her body from now on. β
Looking at the playful smile on Xiaoxi's face, Shui Qingqing's face turned red again, so she had to lower her head and pretend to eat.
After eating, Shui Qingqing died and was picked up by the hospital, where she met Tang Qianqian and the others.
As soon as Shui Qingqing entered, everyone's eyes fell on her, and when they saw her pink peach blossoms, delicate face, and the red mark on the collar on her neck, she was envious and sad in her heart, and she knew that the rain and dew of the Hou Ye last night moisturized Shui Qingqing like a peach blossom after the rain, which was charming and compelling.
Mrs. Hou saw Mei Zijin sending Yun'er with a spring face in the morning, and she knew in her heart that her son, who did not enter the back house all the year round and did not touch women's sex, must have had a full meal last night, vented the fire that had been held back for a long time, and was comfortable.
Before, Mrs. Hou had always been very distressed about Mei Zijin, and it was clear that the three aunts in the back house also had their own appearances, but they couldn't get into his eyes. He didn't like the women outside, and he never set foot in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion and the like, and Mrs. Hou was really worried that he would suffocate his body.
Now, looking at Shui Qingqing's peachy and watery appearance, the old lady was suddenly relieved.
She was still worried that Mei Zijin would favor Shui Qingqing alone, and when she was in Zhangcheng at the border, she talked to her because of this, but later the old lady also understood that even if Shui Qingqing did not compete for favor, Mei Zijin would not go to other aunts' houses, and would only suffocate herself.
In this way, it is better to let him spoil Shui Qingqing, in this way, it is also good to let Shui Qingqing help Hou Fu have a few more grandchildren like Yun'er......
Thinking of this, Mrs. Hou smiled between her eyebrows, raised her hand to let Shui Qingqing go over and sit beside her.
Shui Qingqing thought that on the first day of her official return to the Hou Mansion, she couldn't greet the old lady on time, so she couldn't help standing in front of the old lady in a panic, and said guiltily: "The old lady forgives her sins, ...... this morning"
"It's okay, Zijin told the old body, you just came back, there are many things in the yard that have not been handled, and the luggage has not had time to be packed, plus there have been many things that have happened in the palace recently, so I haven't been able to rest well...... Therefore, in the future, you will come sometimes, and if you don't have time, you don't need to talk about these false courtesies. The road is slippery in snow, and the old body is afraid that you will slip! β
In order to show that they are treated equally, the old lady deliberately said the latter words to Tang Qianqian and the three of them, so as not to think too much about the other three.
But even so, Tang and the others also knew that this was what the old lady said specially for Shui Qingqing, and they were jealous in their hearts, but they couldn't be jealous.
Who made the family get the favor of the Hou Ye, and also gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Hou Mansion, and he was born as the county lord, and his status is of course different.
Tang Qianqian preemptively smiled with Shui Qingqing: "Yes, when my sister went to Shaohua Courtyard to greet my sister this morning, my sister was busy, so my sister didn't bother anymore." β
Lan Qin also followed behind Tang Qianqian and said: "When my sister first came back to the house, there were many complicated things, or if there was something that needed my sister's help, please ask my sister to speak." β
Tang Wanqing smiled indifferently at Shui Qingqing and said, "Welcome my sister back!" β
The three people in front of them, regardless of their age or the time they have entered the house, are older than Shui Qingqing, but in the back house, they look at their identity and status, so the three of them spontaneously changed their mouths and respectfully called Shui Qingqing 'sister'.
Suddenly hearing the three of them call themselves like this, Shui Qingqing was quite unaccustomed to it, so she had to smile and thank the three of them.
Everyone sat for a while, and the three of the Tang family retreated first, leaving only Shui Qingqing and the old lady in the room.
After Mrs. Hou and the others left, Mother Ye re-served new tea, brought pastries, and chatted with Shui Qingqing while drinking tea and eating snacks.
Old Madam Hou said: "When Zijin sent Yun'er over this morning, he told me about something. I think he has something to say, and I want to ask you what you mean. β
Shui Qingqing put down the tea bowl and said respectfully: "Old lady, please speak." β
Old Madam Hou sighed: "On the day of your wedding to Zijin, due to the disturbance of the Wang family, the last worship ceremony was not completed. Zijin felt ashamed of you, so he told me this morning that he wanted to make up for it for you again, and I also think it is feasible, what do you think? β
Hearing this, Shui Qingqing was slightly stunned, but the next moment she shook her head lightly and said: "Thank you Lord Hou and the old lady for your kindness, I think that since the matter has passed, there is no need to repeat the worship ceremony......"
Old Madam Hou looked at her in surprise, and couldn't help but be surprised: "However, if there is no worship ceremony, others will gossip about you, after all, ......"
Old Madam Hou didn't say the following words, but Shui Qingqing understood the meaning of her words.
Without the worship ceremony, Shui Qingqing and Mei Zijin are not real husband and wife, but they are easy to cause criticism from others.
Shui Qingqing understands this truth.
However, when she thought of what had happened recently, as well as what Princess Leyi had said to her yesterday, she couldn't help but feel gloomy in her heart, and said slowly: "I understand what the old lady means...... But now it is an eventful season, the emperor is seriously ill, Princess Leyi will marry the Hou Mansion in advance in order to make the emperor happy, presumably it will not be long before the Hou Mansion has to handle the happy event again, I don't want to trouble the house again...... Moreover, because of what I did before, I think that the more low-key the relationship between me and Hou Ye, the better. β
Hearing her concerns, Mrs. Hou sighed silently helplessly.
Since she married into the Hou Mansion two years ago, Shui Qingqing has always been a topic of conversation in the capital, coupled with the later divorce from the prince, and the Wang family who came out of the wedding hall when she married Mei Zijin...... Pile pile by piece, every move is to attract everyone's attention.
Therefore, with such a sensitive identity, she does not want to organize the worship ceremony again, so as not to cause unnecessary rumors and slander again.
The old lady sighed: "In this way, according to your wishes, you will not do anything wantonly." But a private church worship ceremony still has to be held for you, so that you and Zijin can be together justifiably. β
Shui Qingqing bowed her head lightly and said, "Everything is arranged by the old lady." β
The old lady smiled: "Okay, then choose another auspicious day to hold a worship ceremony for you, and then Zijin will lead you to the ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion to meet the ancestors and ancestors." β
After chatting, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not wake up from Yun'er's nap, Shui Qingqing accompanied the old lady to send the winter clothes she made by herself to the nameless in Tingzhu Courtyard, and asked those who served the nameless people again, and learned that he had eaten and taken medicine on time today, although the old lady was sad because he still refused to open the door to see her, but she was still a little relieved, and stayed outside Tingzhu Courtyard for half an hour, and came back with Shui Qingqing.
After coming back, Yun'er woke up from a nap, Shui Qingqing led him to play in the old lady's house for a while, and the sky was dark, the old lady saw that it was late, and guessed that Mei Zijin would not come back for dinner at night, so she left Shui Qingqing's mother and son to eat together in the Shi'an Hospital.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the meal was put on the table, someone outside came to report that the Hou Ye was back.
Mei Zijin came into the house with the wind and snow, and when she saw Shui Qingqing really here, she couldn't help laughing and said: "I went back to Shaohua Courtyard to look for you, and I didn't see anyone in the house, so I knew that you must have come to my mother's place." β
As soon as she saw him, Shui Qingqing's face turned suspiciously red, her heart was beating like a deer crashing, and her heart palpitations softened into a puddle of water......
But Hou Zijin didn't restrain at all, in front of the old lady, he still looked at Shui Qingqing who was shy and lowered her head, her eyes were like a wolf, and she couldn't wait to eat her.
The old lady has never seen her son so emotional and fanatical, and her heart is generous and fiery on the one hand, but she is relieved that her son, who is under great pressure and responsibility, finally has a beloved woman by his side who makes him always concerned and makes his feelings no longer dead and silent to accompany him.
In this way, under the heavy pressure of his family and country, he can have a gap to release, so that he will not be so tired......
When the maid saw that the Hou Ye was back, she was about to add dishes and chopsticks to the dining table, but Mei Zijin said: "I came to see you, I won't use it here for dinner, I'll go to Tingzhuyuan to find a nameless person to eat with you - you can accompany your mother to eat." β
Hearing that Mei Zijin was going to Tingzhu Courtyard to accompany Nameless to dinner, the old lady stood up excitedly and said in a loud voice: "Well, you go quickly, he is indeed quite lonely when he eats alone...... Mother Ye, is there still black chicken snow ginseng soup in the kitchen? If not, take this pot and send it over, and this dish, this dish also tells the kitchen to hurry up and make a few nameless favorite dishes, take the food box and let the Hou Ye bring it over......"
Mrs. Hou's happiest thing is to hope that the two brothers will be harmoniousβeven if Nameless hates her or doesn't want her, as long as their brothers get along well, she is also happy.
And Mei Zijin knew that Nameless was now the biggest concern in her mother's heart, so she took the initiative to take on this burden, hoping to get along with Nameless and reassure her mother.
Under the old lady's repeated orders, the kitchen quickly made a few more dishes, connected with a pot of black chicken and snow ginseng soup, and let people carry it and Mei Zijin into the Tingzhu Courtyard for Nameless to eat.
Before going out, Mrs. Hou looked at Mei Zijin's dusty face, as well as the unmelted ice and snow on her shoulders, and said bitterly: "Zijin...... Thank you! β
Mei Zijin is indeed hard, and the imperial court not only has to be in charge of military affairs and the entire Gyeonggi guard, but also has to track down the assassin case with the four princes, and even the illness of Emperor Jin Ming, he must always pay attention to it......
As for the Hou Mansion, he has always been the head of the Hou Mansion, and some small things in the mansion are handled by the old lady, but in major matters, he is still in charge.
Now coupled with dealing with the nameless relationship, he can't wait to be one person to be three or four people, so that he can spare more time to accompany Shui Qingqing and Yun'er......
Mei Zijin smiled indifferently and said: "The son is not hard, the mother works hard for the Hou Mansion, and she has to take care of Yun'er, and the mother is the hardest person." β
After that, he crossed over Mrs. Hou and said to Shui Qingqing: "It's dark and the road is slippery. After eating, you rest at your mother's time, and I will come back to pick you up and go back with you. β
Shui Qingqing's heart warmed, and she didn't care about being shy, so she also went to the door to see him off, and said softly: "Master Hou has worked hard all day, drink less wine." If the nameless injury is not fully healed, it is not advisable to drink alcohol...... The two of them drank more soup, this black chicken snow ginseng soup, the old lady let the kitchen stew for two hours before it was good, and the Hou Ye and Nameless drank more to replenish their bodies......"
Mei Zijin's eyes shone brightly, and he smiled: "Well, I must drink this cauldron to the point where there is not a drop left." β
"And ...... Wait for me to go back by myself, Master Hou has worked hard all day, and after eating with Nameless, go back directly to rest, don't use it to pick me up. β
Mei Zijin didn't insist, and said in front of the old lady: "Then you go back to Shaohua Courtyard and wait for me, remember to leave the door for me." β
A simple sentence made Shui Qingqing blush......
After Mei Zijin left, the old lady's mood was much better, and she chatted with Shui Qingqing while eating, and she was in a good mood.
Shui Qingqing's mood is also unprecedentedly happy, and for the first time, she feels the taste of family, which is particularly warm.
After eating, Shui Qingqing took Yun'er back to Shaohua Courtyard.
Xiaoxi came back from watching Sanshi from Siyi Courtyard, and said to Shui Qingqing, who was dozing off with Yun'er: "Miss, go to bed and rest first, and I'll wake up Miss when Master Hou comes back." β
Shui Qingqing hugged Yun'er, who was asleep in her arms, to bed, and looked at the dark sky, but she didn't know if Mei Zijin would come over so late, so she said to Xiaoxi: "You let the mother-in-law in the courtyard keep the door." Let's rest of the rest. β
Xiaoxi retreated, but Shui Qingqing didn't feel sleepy, thinking that Mei Zijin and Nameless hadn't come back from dinner for so long, but she was worried that something bad would happen between the brothers.
Just when she was anxious, she heard footsteps and greetings from the yard, but it was Mei Zijin who came back.
With joy in her heart, Shui Qingqing hurriedly greeted her, looked at Mei Zijin's face, and said worriedly: "Is it okay for you to chat with Nameless?" β
Mei Zijin looked at her worried look, scratched her nose with a smile, and said with a smile: "Looking at your nervous appearance, are you still afraid that we won't be able to fight?" Don't worry, we just talked about the art of war and killed a few games, so we came back late - did you miss me? β
In the end, Mei Zijin's eyes were full of affection, but the hand that scraped her nose was dishonestly caressing her delicate lips.
His calloused fingers gently caressed her lips, but they brought a shuddering touch, making Shui Qingqing's heart beat like crazy.
Embarrassed to open his hand, Shui Qingqing said angrily: "Master Hou is becoming more and more serious. I asked my subordinates to prepare hot water for you, and Hou Ye should rest early after bathing. β
After that, he turned around and walked towards the bed, went straight to bed and hugged Yun'er to sleep, and didn't bother with Mei Zijin.
Soon, I heard the sound of Mei Zijin bathing next door, Shui Qingqing's eyelids fought, and she was about to fall asleep, when suddenly the quilt on her body was lifted, and even the pants on her body were also taken off.
"You ......"
If it weren't for the fear of waking up Yun'er inside, Shui Qingqing almost screamed.
Mei Zijin had just come out of the bath, and she was simply wrapped in a thin bedgown, revealing a large piece of pectoral muscles on her chest, but it was spring.
Shui Qingqing was ashamed and angry, shrunk her snow-white legs into the quilt, and said with a red face: "Tonight...... I can't wait for you tonight, my waist is about to break...... My leg hurts too......"
Mei Lijin lowered her head, not daring to look at her charming and bright eyes, for fear that if she looked at her more, she would start tossing her again.
He turned around and took out a white jade bottle from the pocket of the hanger, and said in a stiff voice: "Tonight, I will wait for you!" β
