Chapter 68: You Sing and I'll Appear
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
The next day, the husband and wife took Liansheng to Tan's mansion together, first to greet the elders, then the women went to the side hall in the backyard, and the men sat in the front yard to play chess.
Chunlan Qiuju, as a maid, did not follow into the house, and simply waited in a cool place under the porch.
Xue Su held the tea cup in his hand, glanced at Liansheng who was blushing on her face, and saw her diligence, her face couldn't help but sink.
It's a pity that the little girl didn't notice her aunt's unkind eyes, and she was still flattering, "Aunt Yuanqing, I heard that you are a famous talented girl in the capital, and you won the first place in the poetry meeting back then, and you are much stronger than those talents." โ
Tan Yuanqing didn't look down on the two vulgar women in front of her at all, but the Chu family was in the limelight, and before Xiao Xinian gained a firm foothold in the Chu family, she couldn't offend people to death.
"The poetry club is just a joke, and those talented people don't want to compete with the women in the girl, so they let me take the lead."
Holding a piece of pea yellow in his hand, Xue Su heard the woman's crisp voice, and felt very bored for a while.
Mrs. Tan asked without a trace, "Su Niang, you have been married to Qinghe for more than a year, why haven't you had a child yet?" โ
The Dayu Dynasty is not more open than the previous dynasty, because the court is sour and strange, if the woman does not have a son, there will be no place in her husband's family, Mrs. Tan really cares about Xue Su on the surface, but there is a bit of beating in her tone, which sounds uncomfortable.
"The child mainly depends on fate, and I can't be anxious, I think about going to Huguo Temple on the first day of the next month, to ask for the Bodhisattva, as long as the heart is sincere, I will always get what I want."
Mrs. Tan's eyes were full of meaning, "How can the matter of the heir be pinned on the gods and Buddhas?" Qinghe is the Marquis of the Auxiliary State, but our god of war, if he doesn't even have a son and a half daughter under his knees, it really can't be said, he is I grew up with my own eyes, even if he is not a blood relative, but the care in his heart will not be less, I just mentioned a point, Su Niang, don't be afraid of your stepmother. โ
Xue Su never thought that there would be such a cheeky lady in the world, obviously a dog with a mouse to meddle in things, and he had to use the banner of care and love.
Although she was not happy in her heart, the smile on her face became more and more intense, and she hurriedly retorted, "Could it be that in the eyes of my stepmother, I am such a person who does not know what to do, and I regard kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs?" โ
When Xue Su said this, Xue Su meant something, Mrs. Tan was choked, squinted and said, "I know a doctor who is proficient in gynecology, it is better to invite that old gentleman to the house and give Su Niang a pulse, if the body is healthy, it is naturally a good thing, once there is something wrong, it is better to take care of it as soon as possible than to drag it out." โ
Tan Yuanqing, who was sitting on the side, was holding a fan in his hand, watching the play while fanning the wind, and his posture was very leisurely.
Xue Suhao was stunned, according to Mrs. Tan's meaning, the husband and wife have no children, which is a woman's fault. Don't look at her good voice and angry mouth, but she blames herself for not being angry and not being able to give birth to a son to Chu Qinghe.
"Today is a family dinner, isn't it appropriate to invite the doctor over?"
If the doctor is really invited, the news will inevitably leak out, and then everyone in the capital will know that the auxiliary general has married a hen that can't lay eggs, and the Tan family is really vicious.
"What's wrong? They play chess in the front yard, and they can't control us. โ
As she spoke, Mrs. Tan waved her hand and instructed the grandmother beside her, "Go and invite Dr. Li over." โ
After staying in the capital for more than half a year, Xue Suke had never heard of the gynecological holy hand surnamed Li, she secretly held her breath in her heart, and her chest kept rising and falling.
As soon as Mama left with her front foot, Chunlan entered the house with her back foot.
She first bowed down to the masters, then put it in Xue Su's ear, and said urgently, "Madam, something is wrong, the slave maid just went to the thatched house, and I heard the two mothers-in-law muttering there, saying that Mrs. Tan is going to stuff the concubine of the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion to the general as a concubine, maybe it will be done tonight......"
Every time she heard a word, the woman's face became gloomy, and she still held a teacup in her hand, and her knuckles were blue and white because of the excessive force.
No wonder Mrs. Tan was waiting for her here, first she found the gynecological saint of Laoshizi, saying that she couldn't give birth to a child, and then pushed out her niece and asked Chu Qinghe to take a concubine.
Others couldn't hear the maid's voice clearly, but when they saw Xue Suqing's white face, they could guess that it was not a good word.
Tan Yuanqing frowned slightly, a hint of ominous premonition suddenly rose in her heart, she opened her mouth, and just wanted to speak, she saw a smile on the woman's face, like a spring flower, very delicate.
Holding Chunlan's wrist, Xue Su smiled, "Before I came to the house, I had a little stomach trouble, this maid was very worried, so she hurried over to mention something, but I didn't expect my stepmother and Yuan Qing to see the joke." โ
With a little concern on his face, Tan Yuanqing said, "If Su Niang is not feeling well, it is better to rest in the wing room first, and then we will call you out when we have dinner." โ
After hesitating for a while, Xue Su nodded, and was led by the maid in the direction of the guest room.
The Tan family planted a lot of flowers and trees, the path was full of hibiscus flowers, the woman smiled and picked a bud, put it in her sleeve, the maid who led the way saw it, and couldn't help pouting, secretly thinking that this Mrs. Hou is really stupid, except for that beautiful face, there is no other place to stand out, when is it, there is still the heart to appreciate the flowers, tsk!
Xue Su is not a blind person, she naturally saw the maid's expression, she was not annoyed, she went directly into the guest room, and ordered, "Go and bring a bowl of mung bean soup, this day is like a fire, it is very hot." โ
As soon as the maid left, Qiu Ju couldn't bear it anymore, and she was anxious, "Madam, why aren't you worried at all, if their trick really succeeds, the general will have to take a concubine, can you feel comfortable in your heart?" โ
Although Chunlan is also anxious, she is meticulous, and when she sees a little peace in her master's eyebrows, she knows that she knows what she knows.
"Let's go to the earroom first."
Xue Su said a word, tiptoed into the hut next door, the ear room is the place where the maid stays, there is a teapot on the table, she lifted the lid of the pot, took out the hibiscus from her sleeve, tore off two petals, and squeezed the juice in.
Chunlan Qiuju couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Madame's movements.
"Is this poison?"
Xue Su couldn't help but roll his eyes, and patiently explained, "Hibiscus flowers are also called drunken flowers, smelling the fragrance of flowers on weekdays will make people drowsy, and if you eat it in your stomach, you will pass out directly." โ
Hearing this, Qiu Ju suddenly realized.
The maid quickly took the mung bean soup back, Xue Su waved her hand, let her go down to rest, and after another quarter of an hour, Chunlan walked out, pushed open the window sash and took a look, and found that she was lying on the table, sleeping like a dead pig, and the snoring sound was earth-shattering.
Walking back to the house quickly, Chunlan asked, "Master, what should we do now?" Go to the general? โ
Xue Su shook his head, "The mother and daughter of the Tan family want to stuff people into the general's room, but they haven't started yet, I don't have any evidence in my hands, if I poke this matter out directly, wouldn't the red mouth and white teeth slander them?" It's better to count ......."
------
Chu Qinghe was playing chess in the front yard, and when he had dinner, he only saw Liansheng, but not his little wife, so he couldn't help but speak, "Mother-in-law, where is Su Niang?" โ
Mrs. Tan chuckled and said, "The relationship between the two of you husband and wife is really good, you have to ask if you don't see each other for a while, the weather is too hot today, and Su Niang is a bitter summer, so she fell asleep in the guest room, I saw that she was not very energetic, so I didn't call her up." โ
Chu Qinghe wanted to ask a few more words, but Tan Bixing raised his glass, "Brother Yi, come, I salute you, you repelled the Huns and protected the people, but I can only do nothing in the capital, I am really ashamed." โ
"You must not be arrogant, the culture can prosper the country, the military can determine the country, we must seek things in their position, as long as you are honest and honest, and protect the people, is not better than anything else?"
Hearing this, Tan Bixing suddenly drank the wine in a hurry.
This family banquet lasted for nearly two hours, and then it was already dark, Liansheng was taken to the guest room by the maid to rest, and Chu Qinghe was supported by two little maids, and walked straight to the backyard where the female dependents lived.
He has been to the Tan Mansion several times before, but as a foreign man, he has always met the Tan family's father and son in the front yard, and he is not as familiar with the back house as Xue Su.
After drinking a lot of wine just now, the man's face couldn't help but be drunk, but he still retained a trace of sobriety.
Standing in front of the door, the little servant lowered his voice and said, "Madame is in the room, adults come in quickly." โ
The big palm pressed on the door panel, Chu Qinghe pushed the door in, the familiar peach fragrance penetrated into his nose, his tense mind immediately relaxed, strode to the bed, looked at the woman who was sleeping facing in, he took off his boots and went to bed, and directly hugged his lush and soft delicate body in his arms.
Long before the man entered the door, Xue Su heard his footsteps, and reached out to cover his mouth at this moment, "This is not a guest room, but Xiao Xinian's room." โ
Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the dark eagle's eyes, and he tore his thin wrist apart, and asked silently, "What's the matter?" โ
"Xiao Xinian is the concubine of the Chengenhou Mansion, Mrs. Tan wants her to be your concubine, so she made today's family banquet, I estimate that the mother and daughter will come over tomorrow morning to catch the rape in bed, such a filthy mind, it really stinks."
The white little face was obviously disgusted and disdainful, if it weren't for Chunlan who happened to hear the conversation between the two mothers-in-law, if it weren't for the hibiscus flowers in the back garden, their treacherous plan might have succeeded!
As long as she thought that Chu Qinghe would do that kind of intimate thing to other women, Xue Su's heart hurt terribly, as if someone was cutting her flesh.
After carefully talking about what happened today, she said with a strong vinegar in her tone, "Hibiscus flower juice can make people unconscious, I first stunned the maid who was staring, and then concocted it in the same way, and sent Xiao Xinian to the guest room."
Somehow, the man's heart was filled with joy and he laughed lowly.
