Chapter Seventy-Nine: Enlightenment
Mengxi returned to the East Chamber, Hongzhu and Hongxing hurriedly stepped forward and changed the chopsticks for the second master, Xiu'er also picked up the chopsticks, and bowed her head to eat under the service of Hongzhu and Hongxing.
Xiao Jun took a bite of the dish, frowned, took another piece of snack, took a bite, and put it on the table, this was by no means her craft, and she was secretly annoyed in her heart, she was getting bolder and bolder, and she dared to fool him like this. His sense of taste and smell is sharper than ordinary people, and after eating what she made for so long, he has long liked it, but since he went to the backyard, she has never cooked for him to eat, I don't know when, even the porridge is not made, maybe I heard that he poured the porridge she sent, and he didn't do it when he was angry, right?
No matter how he struggled, he still cherished her delicacy infinitely, and the old lady went there these days to be diligent in order to be able to eat the dishes she sent, and occasionally went late, and was eaten by the third master who was not long-eyed, and looked at him with an unfinished face, that look, so that he almost killed him a few times.
I really want to open my mouth to let her make it for him to eat, but he is so awkward that he can't open his mouth, so he won't let her know that he likes her food, yesterday promised Xiu'er so happy, it is also from the desire in his heart, he was restless all morning, just looking forward to this meal, at this time, the strong psychological contrast, actually made him stunned at the table.
Looking at the tasteless meal on the table, the back of her just calmly leaving flashed in front of her eyes, the footsteps were slow, but without a trace of hesitation, which made him suddenly have a hint of realization, she doesn't miss everything here!
She calls herself a concubine, respects him very much, and talks more about the rules than Hongzhu and Hongxing, and even sometimes makes him have an illusion, as if she is offering to him like a god, but she no longer begs him softly, no longer washes her hands and soup for him, no longer rubs her feet intimately for him, no longer does what a wife should do for him, he and her, just like a slave and a god, how can they still be an ordinary couple?
She had built an invisible wall between him and her, so that he could no longer see the scenery on the other side of the wall.
Could it be that she was really ruthless to him? The Yuanpa at the time of the wedding suddenly appeared in front of him, and the little plum blossom on the Yuanpa, could she, she really have a heart, who could it be, was it the person who asked her before her wedding? Xiao Jun couldn't help but imagine her gently snuggling in someone else's arms, and as soon as he thought of this, the green tendons in his hand burst out, and he broke the chopsticks in his hand.
"Second Master!"
"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"
Xiu'er and Hongyu saw that the second master was like this, and they screamed in surprise, and the cries of the two woke up the second master from his contemplation, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had lost his temper in front of his cousin, stabilized his mind, let go of his hand, motioned for Hongzhu to come over with a pair, and lowered his head and ate silently.
Seeing her cousin like this, Xiu'er thought that he was still angry about his cousin's affairs, so she hurriedly said:
"Cousin, I want to open up everything, my cousin-in-law is confused, but I can't communicate with you, I don't understand your kindness, and you can't be angry about this, and it's not worth it if you get angry and hurt your body."
Xiao Jun didn't look up, only said "um" with his nose.
Seeing that her cousin had returned to normal, Xiu'er picked up the chopsticks again, ate them elegantly, ate two bites, put down the chopsticks again, and said to her cousin with a raised face:
"Cousin, it seems that people can't believe it, Xiu'er eats the taste of her cousin's cooking, and she is not as good as the cook in Xiu'er's house"
Xiao Jun glanced up at her, continued to eat the rice in the bowl, and heard him say for a long time:
"Xi'er told you a long time ago, it's just nonsense in the mouths of the subordinates, you just don't believe it, and you insist on coming."
Hearing this, Xiu'er pouted and glanced at her cousin sadly, but the cousin just silently ate the rice in his bowl and stopped talking.
Although the cousin is gone, the atmosphere has not become more emotional because of her departure, and the imaginary romantic lunch has become tasteless because of the dullness of the cousin, and the two people who eat together taste the same as chewing wax.
Zhiqiu helped the second grandmother back to the east chamber, looked at the second grandmother sadly, and sighed:
"The second grandmother shouldn't just leave, the second grandfather and the cousin girl are there, the second grandmother has fallen in front of the cousin this time, and she will kick her nose in the face in the future."
Mengxi glanced at Zhiqiu and knocked her on the head:
"You like your grandmother to serve there like a slave and maid, so you really lose power."
In the following days, the second master really mixed with the show girl, every day the second master only had to go back to the house, either invited by the eldest lady to eat, or the show girl visited, the two of them were in the main hall chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, until the lamp, the show girl went back to the eldest lady to rest.
The second master naturally stayed in the upper room again, in fact, the second master is not a womanizer, some time ago, he was also forced to stay in the upper room by the second grandmother, so that he lost the dignity of a man, suffered a strong impact, and was in a hurry, so he was tired of being in the backyard for more than a month, which made him have an illusion of displacement, and his heart was very eager to return to the upper room, and he was eager for the second grandmother to ask him to go back.
It's just that he didn't practice in his previous life, married a stupid daughter-in-law with a missing head, didn't know how to marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, and didn't know that from the moment she married into the Xiao family, she was branded as Xiao Jun, he was her god, he didn't see the slow treatment of her aunt in the backyard, and the minions in this courtyard disobeyed her yang and yin, what he wanted was this effect, he wanted her to understand, all this stemmed from his not supporting her, he wanted her to understand that his coldness and his pet were worlds apart, one thought of heaven, one thought of hell.
Woman, how can she have her own thoughts, he just wants to break her bones, urge her to destroy, let her bend her waist from now on, like other women, know how to cater to him, please him, he thought, if she is willing to kneel down and beg him now, to flatter him, no, as long as she bows her head to him and begs him softly, he will send all the minions in this courtyard who are disrespectful to her into the eighteenth layer of hell, including the aunt in the backyard, he wants her to see the strength of his power, he can be in this courtyard, no! It is the clouds and rain in the entire Xiao Mansion. Let her see that his favor can make her live a decent life and enjoy all the glory, so that she can call the wind and rain from now on and become a real master mother, only after this heaven and hell will she understand that he is her heaven, he is important to her, and he will not disobey him again.
But his stupid daughter-in-law with a weak head was destined to make him desperate, he didn't go to the backyard to pick him up, and ignored him every day, and of course he was embarrassed to move back by himself.
The arrival of his cousin fulfilled him, just borrowed the donkey from the slope, and lived the old days, every day from the outside back, he stayed in the study and the main room, only from time to time to go to the backyard aunt to live overnight, but this show girl is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, the second master just entered the chrysanthemum courtyard with the front foot, and there was a maid to report on the back foot:
"My cousin is visiting, please come to the room for a while"
Xiao Jun had no choice but to come out to accompany him, and unconsciously became tired of this cousin, and the aunt in the backyard jumped to scold his mother.
