Chapter 2: Mrs. Sekita's confinement
The glamorous woman and a group of domestic servants saluted again and again, Xu Xi wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but he had no opinion but caught a glimpse of the two guards behind Master Wei, dressed in a black robe with golden boots, and the outer robe was embroidered with gold thread with flying eagles, and the heroic and extraordinary.
Seeing that these two people were extremely difficult to deal with, Xu Xi had no choice but to give up his plan to do it and follow them among the family servants.
Wei Qiuqi glanced at her, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's falcon, and when Xu Xi saw this, he hurriedly lowered his head. After all, the situation is unfavorable, so it is not too late for her to wait and see what happens.
In the end, Wei Qiuqi stopped in front of the beautiful woman, "What are you doing here, when the next national teacher comes, what kind of system will you see like this?" Don't hurry up yet. The voice was much softer than it had been.
Xu Xi secretly said in his heart, the beautiful woman is more than ten years younger than this Wei Mansion Yin Shao, and nine times out of ten she is his little wife.
Tian's beauty is naturally more favored by Master Wei, and the lady of the main room is a half-old, but the charm is no longer there, so she has to swallow her anger and watch a young woman show off her power and domineering at home.
When Mrs. Tian heard the master's tone, she was overjoyed, and the coquettish energy of the time was committed again. When I raised my eyes again, those beautiful eyes shone with tears, biting my red lips, and my beautiful appearance was really pitiful.
She covered her face, her voice was aggrieved, "The master must be tired of the concubine, and now a maid in the lady's house dares to beat the concubine, and when the lord is not at home, how can there be a concubine in this family." As he spoke, he really shed a few tears.
Hearing this, Xu Xi suddenly realized that this maid with the same name as her was in the courtyard of the main room, and now this Mrs. Tian is acting like this, I am afraid that she intends to squeeze out the lady of the main room, so that she can smoothly ascend to the throne.
Thinking of Wei Qiuqi's love for this concubine just now, coupled with the fact that she just slapped her, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape this catastrophe. Xu Xi moved out silently, no matter what, when the time comes, he will do it when he sees the opportunity, and he can run.
Unexpectedly, Wei Qiuqi just glanced at her quietly, and when he looked at Mrs. Tian again, his eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
"I don't know what you're planning?" Wei Qiuqi sneered, "A mere advocate woman dares to play these tricks on me. If you think the house is too comfortable, you might as well go back to your Liang Garden. ”
Mrs. Tian suddenly stopped crying and looked at him in horror, she is now thirty years old, and she has long passed the golden age of being an advocate when she goes back, what else can she do? Is it ridiculed?
"Sir! The concubine is wrong, don't drive the concubine away! ”
"Okay," Wei Qiuqi waved his hand impatiently, "lock Mrs. Tian and this maidservant in the back firewood room, and repent well." ”
Xu Xi didn't have any resistance when he was taken away, after all, as long as he left a crowded place, it was just a trivial matter to knock out Mrs. Tian and leave when the time came. Mrs. Tian's cry was still echoing in her ears, and when she turned around again, she noticed a flash of light in Wei Qiuqi's eyes.
It was not a look of annoyance about the affairs of the house, but more like a state of extreme anxiety and anxiety before doing a very important thing. The wind is loud, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and any slightest movement will make them sit still, just like when she and Luo Bing were on a mission before.
Xu Xi lowered his head and thought to himself, it seems that something big is going to happen in this mansion.
After the two were locked up in the firewood room, within an hour, the house welcomed their most distinguished guest.
In the East Flower Hall, the man was dressed in a dark color robe, with a crown and a bundle of hair, which should have been the most elegant outfit but it was very different here. In a gesture, the arrogance in the eyebrows suddenly appeared.
Jinyu lightly twisted the white jade chess pieces, and at this time, between the chessboards, the sunspots had already accounted for half of the country. She took a deep breath, and the white child paused slightly on the middle sunspot, and then landed next to it.
Presses.
The man opposite hooked his lips, and his handsome and arrogant colors were fully displayed.
"Presses? The little woman, the courage is not small, and she dares to suppress the son of this seat. He sighed playfully, and a pair of bony hands touched his jaw with clear lines, "It seems that there are many strange people in Lord Wei's mansion." ”
"The national teacher praised it falsely," Wei Qiuqi smiled earnestly, but his eyes seemed to be dodging, and he didn't know where to look, "This maid's name is Jinyu, and she has been working in the chess workshop for two years, and she has studied chess skills quite a bit. If the national teacher likes it, you might as well let Jinyu have a chance to ask you for advice. ”
His words were extremely subtle, the national teacher of this dynasty loved to talk with people, this is a well-known thing, in order to find a beautiful woman who can play chess, he also spent a lot of thought. It can be said that as long as this pair of national teachers nods, this girl is his.
The national teacher, who is also the crown prince Shaobao, is a hot celebrity in front of the emperor of the dynasty, who once used thunderous means to protect the Wen family after the death of the first emperor, and is now a figure who is now ranked as the third prince of Sikong Yi.
His name, Pei Huai.
An elderly bachelor once asked the young national teacher about the origin of his name, and almost everyone believed that Pei Huai was born in Huaishui, so his name was Pei Huai.
He laughed and said that the river Han and Jianghuai are also broad-minded, and the common man is open-minded, how do you know the height of the blue sky and the thickness of the yellow earth?
It's really arrogant.
Pei Huai just tapped the chess pieces, and the crisp sound was like the beat of some kind of music, and when the pieces fell again, the momentum of the black chess pieces was spinning again, and the dragon was whispering.
In a crushing stance, he won.
Pei Huai seemed to be in a much better mood, and even spoke with a little smile, "Lord Wei is this true?" ”
Wei Qiuqi suddenly came back to his senses, and only then did he realize that he was talking about Jinyu with him.
"When... Of course. He was accompanied by a smiling face.
Who knew that Pei Huai suddenly let out a low laugh, and even the body under the black robe was trembling slightly.
Wei Qiuqi was slightly suspicious, "I don't know what caused the national teacher to laugh?" ”
The laughter faded away, and when he raised his hand again, there was a slight mockery in those black eyes, and more disdain.
"I'm thinking, when will the white jade cup in Lord Wei's hand fall to the ground?"
Wei Qiuqi suddenly stopped.
The breeze blew, blowing up the long curtains on both sides of the East Flower Hall, and under the dark curtains, dozens of sword soldiers were ambushed. Just waited for Wei Qiuqi to smash the cup, and then rushed up and split Pei Huai's body into pieces.
The national teacher laughed.
He put the wine glass in his sleeve, and during the movement, Pei Huai leaned back slightly, and a thin and sharp knife grazed his face, cutting a few strands of hair. He intercepted the blade of the knife with two fingers, and with a slight force, the owner of the handle also moved.
It was Jinyu.
Jinyu retracted his blade suddenly, and his footsteps were indistinct, instantly striking a few feet away. When she stopped, the emerald sleeve robe swayed lightly, and her pretty face was no longer shy, but replaced by murderous intent.
In an instant, the curtains fell, dozens of broadswords appeared at the same time, and a silver light was suddenly reflected in the room.
Pei Huai shook the sleeves of his robe, and between the sword light, there was a calm smile on his face.
"I heard that the master locked up Mrs. Tian, and I am repenting at this time."
"Really?"
"That's not it, I heard Ah Gu next door, my lord's face was black at that time."
"According to me, it's well closed! Who told Mrs. Tian to bully our eldest lady all day long, and now she will be punished. ”
A few maids talked and walked through the courtyard, and a few rays of sunset afterglow poured in the firewood room, soaking in a little warm yellow. Xu Xi was leaning against the haystack and was closing her eyes to recuperate, only to hear a rustling sound, she opened her eyes, and Mrs. Tian was sitting by the window and crying.
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Xi walked over.
"Go away!" She suddenly pushed Xu Xi, and her beautiful face was full of tears, "It's all you!" I was bought back by my lord to be a concubine, and I finally don't have to live those hard days anymore, but now I have to listen to you chewing your tongue behind your back all day long! ”
Xu Xi plucked his ears helplessly, "You care so much about what other people think?" ”
"Of course! Who wants to be poked in the backbone all day long! ”
"Then you should bully these subordinates?" She asked rhetorically.
Mrs. Tian was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer, wiped her tears and said angrily, "What do you know? Do you know what kind of life I used to have in Liang Yuan? ”
"I don't know, but I've suffered, and now when I'm rich, I vent my grievances on others, and the weak bully the weak, right?"
Mrs. Tian no longer spoke to her, but muttered, "You don't understand, you don't understand, if the master doesn't want me, I won't have a way to live." ”
Xu Xi was upset by her yelling, and couldn't help asking, "Do you really want the master to be good to you alone?" ”
"Isn't it just that a woman asks a man to like her?"
Xu Xi asked, "And then?" ”
"And then?" Mrs. Tian was stunned, she hadn't thought about it.
"And then be their woman and let them give you a thrush, isn't that interesting?" Xu Xi spit out the grass in his mouth, "Look at your little bit of interest." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Tian was silent, Xu Xi also felt that his words were a little heavy. She walked into the light, and the only window was about thirty centimeters above her head, which was not a very difficult distance.
Xu Xi lifted his breath slightly, took a few steps back and ran for a while, and jumped onto the window lattice in one breath in Mrs. Tian's surprised eyes.
"You... This... Are you leaving? Mrs. Tian was so surprised that she was incoherent.
"It's not from here, it's big outside, and that's where I should go." She hesitated, but still stretched out her hand to Mrs. Tian, "Why don't you go out and have a look?" ”
Mrs. Tian was confused for a while, although she had some narrow-minded thoughts, she was not a bad person. She instinctively believed Xu Xi's words, and after thinking about it carefully, she shook her head after all.
Xu Xi was somewhat regretful, but after thinking about it, after all, this is also the limitation of these women. She came from a modern society, and she really can't ask too much of them.
"In that case, I'll go first." Xu Xi held the hand of the window lattice and paused, and added, "In the future, you will still be kind to others, and don't bully others anymore." ”
Mrs. Tian was suddenly stunned, and a sour feeling surged in her heart inexplicably, and before she could answer, the person on the windowsill disappeared.
When Xu Xi climbed onto the roof, the last brilliant light of the setting sun was also obliterated in the clouds. The night breeze blew slowly, and the surroundings became darker and darker, and from where she was, there were rows of ancient mansions with flying cornices, and there was almost no end in sight. The long night is approaching, the lights are on, and the noise can be faintly heard in the distance.
This is the capital of Beiyan, Jianyuan.
