Ironed by Meng Xuan's body temperature, she slept very peacefully this night, and didn't have a dream, although she encountered a bloody incident before going to bed last night, and listened to Meng Ying's nonsense for a long time, originally she was worried that she would be haunted by terrible nightmares after falling asleep, but after waking up, she breathed a sigh of relief, this sleep was warm and steady, and it was the best sleep she had slept in the past two months.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the back of Meng Xuan's head, and the bun was still tied to the top of her head and not loosened, so after sleeping for a long time, her brain would inevitably be sour, she secretly blamed herself for being too negligent in taking care of him, just an ordinary rough servant, she should be able to think of this, she actually let him sleep all night without giving him a release. Hurriedly unwrapped his hair bun, gently pinched the acupuncture points between his hair to relieve fatigue, patted his shoulder, and called: "Meng Xuan! Meng Xuan...... Shen Shi, it's time to get up, it's dawn. ”

Of course, she knew that Meng Xuan couldn't hear her, but she just practiced while he couldn't hear it, so as not to shout unnaturally to him who could hear him in the future...... Xianggong, it's time to get up, it's time for you to go to the city defense camp! When she arrives in the capital or Shanhaiguan in the future, should she call him that?

Her heart was full of satisfaction, and she called him several times with the name "Shen Shi" that matched his "Qingyi", and his subordinates also increased the strength of patting him, but she couldn't wake him up even a few times, she felt that something was wrong, so she took his pulse, the pulse was steady and slow, and the pulse was normal. Pushing Meng Xuan a few more times, he still didn't wake up, his face was the same as when he fell asleep last night, white and powdery, and the corners of his lips were as sweet as caramel candy. Taking off his eye-wrapping silk scarf, the swelling of his eyelids disappeared a lot, and the two long eyelashes did not even tremble slightly, which showed that he was really sleeping very deeply.

He Angelica frowned and thought, this is really a strange thing, as far as she knows, Meng Xuan has never been sleepy, three years ago, when she slept together, she always listened to his constant chatter and fell asleep, and after waking up, she could always see his bright eyes looking at her for the first time. She also wondered if he hadn't slept at night, but his complexion and energy were better than when she had just gotten up.

"Meng Xuan? Messire! Husband!! My dear!!! He Angelica pinched the pain point on his left hand while gently and compassionately practicing the various names she knew about him.

However, having reached this level, Meng Xuan still didn't wake up, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and wanted to get out of bed to find a needle to wake him up, as soon as the curtain was opened, someone pushed the door in, with a round neck and a blue shirt, a green hat, who was not Meng Ying.

He Angelica grabbed a coat and put it on his body, didn't care about accusing Meng Ying of his rude visit, and hurriedly told him: "Meng Xuan can't wake up, why can't I tell him that he won't wake up, what should I do?" What about the fourth uncle? I can't see the problem with my pulse! ”

Meng Ying bowed her head proudly and said: "No need to worry, my lord is hungry, you go to the kitchen to get food, and set off after eating." His voice dragged on in a long tone, like the old queen mother of the Han Dynasty in the play.

He Angelica didn't know what kind of illness Meng Ying had again, so he reluctantly held back his desire to be mad, and said to him in a good voice: "You tell the fourth uncle where he is, I want to ask him about Meng Xuan's problem, his pulse is very heavy, but he can't see anything abnormal, the most worrying thing is that when I helped him take medicine last night, I saw that he only had the whites of his eyes and no black pupils, this is too urgent, what is going on?" ”

Meng Ying's expression was very different from last night's insidious, villainous, or gossipy, her face was neither cold nor alienated, just an arrogant + high-class expression when she met He Angelica for the first time. He tensed the corners of his lips, pointed at the tip of He Angelica's nose with his chin, and asked: "You are the little lady who is the seventh brother's new house, yes, it really has a bit of color, and you are about to catch up with the Oiran girl who leaned on the green sky that the master hugged last night." Ye is hungry now, you quickly organize a table of meals here, and then you don't know how to look at your eyes, and you are hungry, so Ye will take you off and sell you to Yicuitian as a red card. ”

He Angelica copied his hand and asked, "Can you sell it later?" Meng Xuan, what is the situation now, can you tell me clearly, the fourth uncle is no longer in the villa, is he, did he leave anything behind? ”

"Phew!" Meng Ying raised her eyebrows and shouted, "What is your identity!" 'Fourth uncle', how can you be called by a woman! Teh is also rude! ”

He Angelica pursed his lips and said: "Then the third son, please make it clear, did the 'master' and his old man leave any words?" ”

"Master?" Meng Ying was stunned, "What master?" ”

"Master is Master," He Angelica pointed to Meng Xuan who was sleeping soundly on the bed, "He is my senior brother, and he only worshipped yesterday afternoon. She smiled and glanced at Meng Ying's surprised and undisguised jealous expression, and then asked, "Master, did you have anything to say to us, brother and sister?" He once left a message to let me take care of my senior brother, but the first time I encountered such a symptom, I don't know what kind of care is most beneficial to my senior brother, do you have any news? ”

Meng Ying picked fault with He Angelica, and found angrily that she was much worse than her own qualifications at a glance, and she must have to go through the back door of Brother Xuan to enter the fourth uncle's door. The fourth uncle is really eccentric, and the first apprentice is Brother Xuan, and it is not his turn to accept the second apprentice, but he accepts a concubine of Brother Xuan! How unfair!

At the moment, his attitude was even worse, and he said coldly: "When you enter my Meng family, you have to listen to the words of the master, there are two kinds of people in my Meng family, one is the master and the other is the subordinate." The master is divided into three classes, the master and the mother and the other elders, this is the first class; The second class is me, Brother Xuan, Lao Jiu Meng Lin, and Lao Eleven Meng Yu; The third-class master is the seven cousins led by the eldest brother Meng Xian, and there are three concubines, and then there are the main wives of the eldest brother, the second brother and the fourth brother. In addition, the rest of the Meng family are all subordinates, that is to say, after you get started, you are also subordinates, the difference is only the division of labor, ordinary subordinates do the work of serving people, what about you, in addition to working, you also have to give birth to children, if you can't give birth to children, you have to be demoted to ordinary subordinates, or thrown out of the door. ”

He Angelica also replied coldly: "The concubine has been taught, but can you talk about my father-in-law first, the concubine is very worried." ”

"Wrong!" Meng Ying corrected her, "Xianggong can't call out when a third person is present, so that the private relationship between you is exposed in front of others, it's too embarrassing." What's more, even if no one else is present, 'Xianggong' and 'Lady' are also exclusive titles between husband and wife, and only the main room can be called 'Xianggong', and the rest of the side rooms, aunts, and girls are not qualified to be called so. Although Brother Xuan does not have a main room now, and after returning to Yangzhou, he will only marry Su Niang and you as the side room, but the rules are the rules, and you must not be messed up, otherwise when the main owner enters the door in the future, you will not be able to change your mouth for a while, so that the family will eat their hearts, but there is no good fruit for you to eat. Especially those like you who have a three-point posture, and who stand out in a group of skirts, are all the targets of the housewife headed by my mother, and they are also the most eye-catching ones in the future seven-room main room. ”

He Angelica asked without being alarmed: "How should the concubine call the seventh son, and I hope the third prince will show it." ”

"Wrong! You have to call me 'Third Master'," Meng Ying paced with her hands in her hands, "I am the master, the master." ”

"Third master, the concubine is polite." She curtsied.

Meng Ying nodded and said: "And so on, you can only call him 'Seventh Master' before and after, and when you enter the Meng family, he is your lord, your God." Your half-salute is used on ordinary occasions, but when it comes to formal occasions, such as banquets with direct family elders present, New Year's family banquets, etc., when you see all the masters I mentioned above, you have to kneel down - you have to kneel. I don't want you to make a mistake then, and now I am obliged to help you practice, come, kneel one. ”

He Angelica listened quietly, suddenly looked out the window, showed surprise on his face, and shouted: "Qing'er! Why are you here too! ”

Meng Ying's body stiffened suddenly, and then looked at He Angelica's face to confirm that she was not shouting without a purpose. So at the same time, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and immediately straightened his back, and he didn't turn back, but his face was not as good as the previous bullish and coaxing uncle. His eyes bulged out, and he whispered to He Angelica: "Help me say something good, and you will benefit from turning back." ”

The footsteps got closer and closer, and a woman's voice sounded, and she asked with a smile, "Who is the young lady calling?" There is no Qing'er here, only a spike, you will use it first, if it suits your heart, you will take me back to Yangzhou, comb the hair, wash and sew the clothes, sprinkle the firewood and cook the dumplings, we are all good hands. It's not that our princess sells melons and boasts, whether it's delicious or not, you taste it, and then say it, you eat one bowl and want two bowls, three bowls and four bowls of belly, five bowls and six bowls of worry! ”

With these words, Meng Ying slowly turned around and saw a tall woman dressed as a rosé maid, walking in with a steaming casserole with her hands through a towel - obviously it had nothing to do with Liao Qing'er!

He turned around and asked angrily, "What do you mean?!" You actually deceived me, you are guilty of the following! ”

He Angelica slowly put on the sleeves of his coat, buttoned the buttons, and asked in surprise: "Third master, you suddenly know the concubine again, it's really rare, the concubine has to distinguish between two sentences." This girl was with me yesterday, and we didn't say a word between us, I misremembered the name, what's strange, the willow spike is cyan, I remember the spike as Qing'er, and I shouted it when I shouted it early. Third master, you are really a strange one, and the attitude of the former and the latter is really afraid of the concubine. ”

In fact, she really scared Meng Ying, I heard him keep inquiring about Qing'er last night, and she was just curious, how Qing'er provoked this little overlord, and what entanglement the two had. But just now, when she casually shouted Qing'er's name, it was more effective than shouting "The Holy Driver has arrived", and Meng Ying immediately showed a cowardly look, which made her feel surprised, could it be that he really fell in love with Qing'er? How so? Qing'er and ...... Meng Ying?

Although in her heart, Qing'er is the best girl, but from the eyes of the general world, the nineteen-year-old Qing'er, who is plump and middle-looking, is not a delicious snack. And in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the southern states and counties, the boudoir women are bound by nine out of ten, as long as the conditions at home allow, there is no need to let the girl do hard work, nine times out of ten are to wrap the daughter with small feet, it is easier for the girl with small feet to discuss marriage, you can raise a price, and you are more favored by the husband after passing the door.

And Qing'er's problem is that she not only does not bind her feet, but also has a pair of heavenly feet, in her words, "My feet are squeezed when I wear 39 yards, probably because my ancestors are northerners and have a big skeleton." But even if I give birth to a pair of size 42 men's feet, I can't wrap myself in cripples just to look good. Ancient men were so strange that they actually liked to watch women's little feet, they were really perverted, and their little feet were deformed. Hmm, I didn't say you, Xiaoyi. ”

He Angelica is also a pair of three-inch golden lotus feet, but she was born with small hands and feet, and she didn't grow up much when she was in her twenties, and her hand length was only about the same size as a girl in twelve or thirteen. He Angelica in his previous life had no conditions to bind his feet when he was a child, and his feet were small enough, and the difference between them and those who had been wrapped was between one or two fingers. In this life, there are conditions to be entangled, and the girls around her are entangled, and she was forced to be entangled for two years under the supervision of the old lady and others, and gradually got used to it, so her feet became smaller.

The foot binding of the Ming Dynasty is different from the previous dynasties, that is, it tries to maintain the original shape as much as possible, does not wrap the toes, and the feet that are wrapped are slender, which is still very ornamental. But Qing'er couldn't accept it, and she didn't think that her feet had any value in appreciating craftsmanship, so her plus-size embroidered shoes were all made by the embroiderers in the yard, and they couldn't be bought in the tailor shop. According to secular standards, Qing'er is really not a traditional good woman, both inside and out. Meng Ying suddenly showed that he liked Qing'er, was he fresh and curious for a while, or did he really appreciate Qing'er's uniqueness and true temperament?

Meng Ying was tricked by He Angelica once, and snorted angrily and stood up again, and was about to start training again. He Angelica hurriedly asked Liu Sui to put out the dishes and chopsticks, filled a bowl of steaming rice balls, and invited Meng Ying to eat, while she sat down in front of the dressing table and asked Liu Sui to comb her hair in a neat bun.

was stirred up by Meng Ying just now, she was not particularly worried about Meng Xuan, Meng Ying was Meng Xuan's own brother, she told Meng Ying about Meng Xuan's strange condition of "no black pupils", Meng Ying didn't even blink her eyelids, it can be seen that he already knew, and he was not in a hurry to get angry. Maybe it's really as Master said, Meng Xuan will recover in another month, and now he has to wait for him to wake up. Moreover, what she is most concerned about now is the situation of the Jinyi Guards, whether her Seven Days of Qing has been successfully resolved, she is really anxious.

Meng Ying elegantly used the rice balls, and began to give orders again: "After eating, we will go on the road, and there are more than a dozen of our hidden piles outside the village to answer, this is an ominous place, it is early to leave." ”

He Angelica asked him for his opinion: "Can you stay in the town for two more days and find an inn or a private house to live in, I still have important things to do, please." ”

"No way." When Meng Ying heard He Angelica being so serious, it seemed that she was very important, and of course she wanted to make trouble for her.
