Chapter 30: The Uninvited Guest
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the reborn little widow of the farmer's gate!
Qi Zhen obviously didn't believe it, her watery apricot eyes widened, and she said, "If that person is really as good as you say, why hasn't he married a wife yet?" It shouldn't be difficult for him to find a little girl Yunying is not married. ”
Zhou Qinghe frowned, she obviously didn't think of this, and said:
"I heard others say that Zhao Heng was very infatuated with his deceased wife, so he never remarried......"
"What's in your head?" Qi Hao stretched out her slender hand like a lotus root, poked Zhou Qinghe's head again and again, and said in a somewhat disgusted tone:
"Infatuated woman is a negative man, there are so many widowers in the world who have died of their wives, I don't see anyone who will guard his wife like jade, there may be something greasy in it, you talk about it carefully."
"This person was mentioned by my sister-in-law, and said that I should introduce him to a family business, the age should not be too young, and the temperament should be good, and the background is not important, I thought of you when I thought about it, and now it seems that the sister-in-law came to me, it seems a little strange."
Zhou Qinghe sat up straight, she originally wanted to help Qi Hao introduce a family affair, but if that Zhao Heng was really not a good thing, wouldn't this push the benefactor into the fire pit? Zhou Qinghe is not the kind of person who has no conscience, so naturally he will not do such evil things.
"I remember that your sister-in-law's husband is also from the Royal Guards, right?"
Being able to live a new life, Qi Zhen is already much more cautious than in the previous life, knowing that a woman's marriage this time is tantamount to a gamble, if she marries well, she will live comfortably in the second half of her life, once she marries a non-human, like a pervert like an old eunuch, I am afraid that it will not be long before a life will be tossed in.
People who have died once know how precious their lives are, so they naturally don't dare to toss around, if there is no good candidate for marriage, Qi Zhen would rather not marry.
She had never seen Zhou Qinghe's sister-in-law, after all, she turned out to be a serious official wife, and she was just a small merchant, and she was still a widow. Women, if it weren't for Zhou Qinghe's good temperament and didn't care much about her identity, and she was kind to her, how could the dignified Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin often haunt the market?
Zhou Qinghe nodded, and said: "Xu is because his husband is a member of the Royal Forest Army, because they are familiar with each other, so he specially introduced to you, I will go back and ask my husband, if this person's character and appearance are really no problem, let's take a look." ”
Qi Zhen is twenty years old this year, and she is not too young at this age in the Great Cause Dynasty, but she is only a widow. The woman is not an unmarried little girl, and she will not be criticized when she is older.
What's more, the woman in her twentieth year is far stronger than the twenty-eight woman in some aspects, Zhou Qinghe looked at the two balls of Qi Zhen's chest that were swollen, and only felt that the pair of breasts was not only plump and swollen, but also the shape of the man's favorite bamboo shoot type.
Although Zhou Qinghe is the lady in the boudoir, she has never been the same thing between men and women in the past, but she has been married for nearly three years, and her husband holds her in the palm of her hand and spoils her well.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one around was paying attention to her, Zhou Qinghe suddenly reached out and pinched Qi Zhen's pair of breasts that made her a little greedy, her strength was not too big or small, not only did not pinch Qi Zhen, but also made her sit up straight suddenly, protecting her chest with both hands, for fear of being suddenly attacked by Zhou Qinghe again.
Looking at the faint blush that appeared on the woman's cheeks because of shyness, coupled with the snow-white skin like clotted fat, Zhou Qinghe suddenly asked:
"Has Zhao Heng ever seen you? Otherwise, why do you have to ask me to be a matchmaker, and specifically say don't be too young, you have passed the New Year this year, but you are exactly twenty! ”
Listening to Zhou Qinghe's words, Qi Hao's eyes were full of brilliance, if the Zhao guards had really seen her, with a good body of skin and flesh that she had carefully raised, she couldn't even help but look at this figure, and it was normal for the man named Zhao Heng to move some thoughts.
Not to mention that Zhou Qinghe and Qi Zhen are very close to each other, these two people think about things together, Zhou Qinghe just wanted to say something more, and saw a woman wearing a pink dress walking in lightly, with a strong fragrance on her body, not the fragrance of flowers in Yuyan Fang, but a spice with a heavy taste.
Zhou Qinghe didn't know this woman, but she didn't want to delay Qi Hao's business, so after taking two bottles of rose dew and paying the money, she left directly.
Qi Zhen showed a smile on her palm-sized face, stood up directly from the soft couch, and glanced at the woman in front of her, although she felt that the smell of spices was very choking, but she didn't show it at all on her face.
This woman looks like she should be fifteen or sixteen years old, with a goose egg face, the corners of her eyes are hanging high, her lips are very thin, and she looks a little mean, but her facial features are still good, but her skin is a little dark, and with the tender pink skirt on her body, her complexion is even more gray.
The hairpins on her skirt and head are all fashionable styles in Beijing, although these jewelry are not very expensive, but they will change some styles in a month or two, this woman happens to be the latest style, and she wants to have a lot of money.
"What does the girl want to see?"
The woman in pink glanced at the long table, looked at the dazzling boxes placed on it, and said in disgust:
"I don't think there is anything special about these things sold in your Yuyan Fang, and you even dare to sell them for a high price of ten taels of silver, are you slaughtering those noble ladies as fat sheep?"
Listening to the woman's words, Qi Hao knew that this person was not good, her face turned a little cold, and asked:
"Miss, but you want to buy something? If you don't buy it, the door is at that end, and the small shop will not stop you. ”
Qi Hao's temper has never been very good, the woman in front of her is obviously here to find fault, and she has encountered it many times in her previous life.
The woman in pink looked at Qi Zhen's soft and fair skin, and there was jealousy in her eyes, she only felt that the woman in front of her was born to seduce men, otherwise in a fat powder shop, why would she apply grease and powder to make herself out of this turbulent look?
"That's how you treat your guests?"
Qi Zhenpi didn't smile, and her apricot eyes looked even more indifferent: "If Miss is really a guest, she won't be so polite when she speaks." ”
The woman in pink gritted her teeth, remembering the man's instructions before, she could only forcibly suppress the evil breath in her heart, and said:
"Bring out your best pots and greases."
Qi Zhen didn't lift her eyelids and said:
"Rose dew? Twenty taels of silver for a bottle. ”
"Didn't that woman buy ten taels of silver just now? Are you looking at me? ”
Looking at the slightly distorted face of the woman in pink, Qi Zhen smiled slowly, but there was a sarcasm at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
But at this moment, it is completely different, the woman in pink can't wait to tear the face of the proprietress of Yuyanfang, her chest is like a dilapidated bellows, constantly rising and falling, because of the dark cheeks, although she is angry, but her face still can't see the redness, but from her distorted cheeks, it can be seen that this person's mood is not calm.
"Does the girl buy it or not? If you don't have any money, what do you do at the fat powder shop? ”
Qi Zhen didn't like what she said, if she treated the guests, she could still be a little patient, but this woman in pink was obviously here to find fault, so why should she save face?
The woman in pink gritted her teeth and wanted to turn around and leave directly, but when she thought of the fat powder in Yuyan Fang, she took a deep breath and said:
"Twenty taels is twenty taels, a bottle of rose perfume and rose balm."
Listening to the words of the woman in pink, a trace of cunning crossed Qi Zhen's eyes, because of the 'primer' in her rose fragrance and balm, it can indeed have the effect of delicate skin, but because the 'primer' was made by mistake in her previous life, it is not a recipe in ancient books at all, even if the woman in pink buys the balm and perfume, she can't study anything.
And the roses on the west mountain grow very well under the care of the poplar father and son, and the large patches are all over the hillside, I don't know how much fragrance and balm can be made, and the cost may not even be enough for one or two silvers.
Seeing the woman in pink reluctantly take out the silver ticket from the money bag, Qi Zhen took out two palm-sized porcelain bottles for her.
The woman in pink held the two porcelain bottles tightly, glanced at Qi Zhen hatefully, and then walked out of Yuyanfang.
Soon after the people left, there were a few more guests in Yuyanfang, but these guests did not intend to find fault, they tried Yuyanfang's fat powder and fragrance, even if the price of the things in it was several times more expensive than other fat powder shops, but the effect was very obvious, only willing to spend silver, after seven or eight months, the skin on the face was like an egg that had been peeled off, smooth and tender, and people wanted to pinch it hard.
Just after Shen Shi, Lian Boyuan came back from outside with Lian Zhongqi.
In the past three years, Lian Boyuan has eaten and drunk well, his nutrition has kept up, and his body has come out a lot, obviously only thirteen years old, but he is a head taller than Qi Zhen, and the outline of his facial features has a faint shadow of Lian Su's back then.
Today, Lian Boyuan didn't have to go to Mr.'s, so he took Lian Zhongqi out for a walk, and the two of them bought a lot of food in large bags and came back, because they remembered that Qi Zhen liked to eat sour plums from Rong'an Fang, and Lian Zhongqi also specially bought two taels, with a smile on his little face, and flattered the paper bag to the front.
These two children are worthy of the Lian family, all of them are not bad at reading, every time they take a small test in the school, Lian Zhongqi is the top of the list, and although Lian Boyuan has not gone to the school for a long time, he can make the gentleman who is a great Confucian very satisfied, if he has no real skills, he can't be fooled.
Looking at these two children, Qi Zhen felt how proud she was, and she stepped forward directly, patted Lian Zhongqi's head, and asked the brothers:
"I see you have eaten a lot outside, don't you need to eat Sun's chicken bean curd tonight?"
Sun is a native of Shudi, and is also very familiar with some of the dishes of Shudi, this chicken bean curd is a local famous dish, the so-called "eat chicken without seeing chicken, eat meat without seeing meat" is said to be this chicken bean curd. It sounds like a vegetarian dish, but in fact the process is very complicated, first with chicken, stick bones and ham plus other seasonings to boil for a whole day, boil out the broth, after a night, and then use the fine yarn to filter the fat residue in it, as long as the milky white soup, and then the raw chicken breast is repeatedly chopped into chicken with the back of the knife, and it has to be mixed with soybean flour, which is really troublesome.
Sun's in-laws are also a big family, but her husband is really not a thing, but a poor scholar, and once again went to the house outside the staff to eat this chicken bean curd, and when he came back, he forced Sun to learn to do it, not only how many times did he fail, but Sun only learned, and now it is cheap Qi Zhen.
Lian Boyuan didn't want to eat these soft things, but Lian Zhongqi smashed his mouth, looking like his saliva was going to flow down, this child is only nine years old this year, compared to Lian Boyuan, who has grown into a little adult, Lian Zhongqi, who has only arrived in Qi Zhen's chest now, is still very tender.
The family sat down for dinner, and Qi Zhen only ate a small bowl of chicken bean curd, and then poured a bowl of pig's trotter soup.
Even if the pig's trotters have long been stewed in the mouth, they are very fragrant and glutinous, but after eating them for three years in a row, no matter how delicious this thing is, I am afraid that even a person can't hold it, if it weren't for the two balls on his chest, why would Qi Zhen have to pinch his nose and pour pig's trotter soup into his mouth?
Fortunately, the pig's trotters in it also have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, Qi Zhen doesn't eat this thing, Sun knows the effect of the pig's trotters, and she doesn't dare to give it to a few boys in the family, she herself is reluctant to waste it, and she eats it like this, and she has grown a lot of plump in three years, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes have disappeared, and she looks much younger.
In addition, whenever Qi Zhen makes rouge water, there are always some leftover corners, and the Sun family accepts them all and smears them on his face and body from time to time, where is the thin and old appearance that he just came to Yuyanfang? It looks like a different person, obviously over thirty, but when I walk outside, I say that twenty-four or five people believe it.
Sun knows the character of the boss, although Qi Zhen has never embarrassed their mother and son, but Sun does not dare to cross the rules, she and her son's deed of sale is still in the hands of the boss, once she does things beyond the bottom line of the boss, I am afraid that her good life with her son will come to an end.
Now my son can be a scholar next to Xiao Gongzi, although his reading is far inferior to Xiao Gongzi, but he is much better than a person like her who can't read a single word.
The stove in the kitchen is still boiling hot water, the weather has been hot recently, Qi Zhen is a physique that is easy to sweat, if she doesn't bathe every day, she is sweating with relish, even with a belly pocket and small clothes will be wet with sweat, although she is not as heavy as ordinary people because of the perennial use of balm, but in the end it is also a little bad.
Although Qi Zhen is not a high-ranking young lady, she followed the old eunuch in her previous life, and that person was waiting by the side of the concubine, and her every move is more exquisite than that of ordinary rich people, Qi Zhen has been with the old eunuch for more than ten years, and it is normal to live a meticulous life.
Sun had a lot of strength in his hands, carrying a bucket of hot water directly to Qi Zhen's room, pouring it into the barrel, walking back and forth three or four times, and the water temperature was adjusted to a slightly hot but not hurting the skin.
There was originally a well in the backyard of Yuyanfang, and the well water was naturally sweet and cool, not much worse than the mountain spring outside the city.
Sun retreated after pouring the water, she knew that Qi Hao didn't like others to stay around when she took a bath, so she didn't go up to ask for it.
Just when she was about to close the carved wooden door, she saw the proprietress through the crack in the door The snow-white back of the proprietress like clotted cream, there was no flaw from a distance, and Qi Zhen was not the kind of skinny figure, she was born with a slender skeleton, although she was also smaller, but she gave birth to a good body of meat, a moist and plump appearance, you can't see it when you put on clothes, but as soon as you take it off, even the woman Sun can't help but have a dry mouth, no wonder Boss Liu of Babaolou has been pestering the proprietress all the time, such a stunner, who can be willing to give it?
Evil!
While thinking about it, Sun quickly closed the carved wooden door, for fear that this scene would be seen by others.
Qi Zhen soaked her body in hot water, reached out and gently patted her chest and arms, cleaned them carefully, and then stretched out a finger and slid down her sternum, waiting until she touched the slight depression, and then gently rubbed the acupuncture points there.
After taking a bath for half an hour, she wiped the water stains on her body with a muslin cloth, and after applying the fragrance and balm, she only wore a thin belly pocket and trousers, stepped on the clogs and walked to the table, and dripped two drops of jasmine oil in the blue and white incense burner, and then blew out the light before putting it on. The bed slept.
The night was dark, Qi Hao only felt very restless, probably because the weather was getting hotter, Qi Zhen tossed and turned in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, and finally fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night, but she felt as if a big stone had been pressed on her chest, which made her breathless at all.
She kicked the quilt away, but her chest was so hot that she seemed to be holding a soup woman.
Qi Hao didn't open her eyes, and reached out to remove the 'quilt' on her chest, but the 'quilt' seemed to have taken root in her.
Laboriously opened her eyes, there was still darkness in front of her, for a while, Qi Hao couldn't tell whether she was awake or asleep, and before Qi Hao could react, she only felt that the warm and wet thing was sticking to her neck and licking it gently.
"Who?"
Qi Zhen shuddered, she had already come to her senses at this moment, struggling to sit up, but even if she was a woman, even if she had a lot of strength, she couldn't compare with a man, and she was soon restrained by the man lying next to her with one hand, pressing her head on a soft pillow, unable to move.
"Let me go!"
Qi Zhen lowered her voice and shouted, but she didn't dare to shout, she always remembered that she was widowed. The identity of the woman is already a little dishonorable, if she is caught. If you are raped in bed, it is tantamount to the biggest stain on the two brothers Lian Boyuan and Lian Zhongqi.
In the Daye Dynasty, if a literati wants to enter the court as an official, they must have a good reputation, otherwise they will inevitably become the target of public criticism.
only listened to a sound of rustling, the thin belly pocket on her body was untied and stuffed directly into her mouth, now it's okay, Qi Zhen doesn't have to scream hard, she can only make a whining sound in her mouth, it really calls the earth and the earth not to work every day.
At this moment, Qi Hao's eyes had adjusted to the darkness in the room, and she could vaguely see the man in front of her, but because the man was wearing a mask, she couldn't distinguish the man's appearance.
"Cheap ...... Sue? ”
Qi Zhen called out tentatively, but she was a little unsure, after all, she hadn't seen Lian Su for three years, and her impression of him was a little vague.
And the man with his hands on her ears was obviously completely different from Lian Su's thin appearance, he looked very strong in the moonlight, and he looked down at him, Qi Hao felt a huge sense of oppression, only feeling like he was the prey of a fierce beast staring at him, and he had long lost his way to live.
The man lowered his head, and the cold mask was attached to the woman's slightly sweaty skin, which made her body shiver and goosebumps.
In the past three years, the two groups on her chest have long been incompatible, although they are not as magnificent as Zheng Sanniang, but they are also difficult to grasp with one hand.
Even if the darkness at night was not real, Qi Hao could still feel it, as if the pinprick-like eyes fell on her chest, and the heat pierced her uncomfortable, but both hands had been restrained by someone, and she couldn't move at all.
Qi Zhen's mind was like a mess, she wanted to protect her innocence, but she didn't dare to bite her tongue and kill herself, after all, she had just lived a lifetime again, if she died now, wouldn't it be like the previous life, and die in bed undignified?
Turning this thought in her heart, Qi Hao struggled even more, but the man was very flexible with one hand, ripped off the fine yarn of the bed tent, and tightly wrapped it around Qi Hao's wrist, I don't know how this person tied the knot, so that she couldn't break free no matter what.
The moonlight shone in through the thin curtains, illuminating the scene in the room very clearly.
The man's eyesight has been trained far beyond ordinary people, he stared at the blood-pumping scenery in front of him, his breathing was a lot heavier, and he only felt a hot current surging up in his nose, which made him close his eyes in a hurry.
Qi Zhen's painful legs twitched, and tears overflowed involuntarily in her eyes, because her mouth was blocked by the cloth, she couldn't make a sound, and her body was pinched, so she could only snort a few times.
