Chapter 600: Sue my husband
He Angelica glanced at Meng Xuan vigilantly, raised his chin, motioned him to look at the bead curtain behind him, and said coldly: "That crystal curtain will be broken as soon as it hits, and the family motto of 'quitting color', the ink will fall off as soon as you wipe it." I persuaded my husband to be more restrained, and my grandmother asked my grandfather to go to my aunt's place to rest, and my grandfather followed her old man's wishes and went to my aunt obediently. ”
Meng Xuan finished sipping a cup of fragrant tea leisurely, put the cup aside, and walked towards her step by step under He Angelica's vigilant gaze, and slowly reached out to reach out to her......
He Angelica was ready to be beaten or "bullied", but Meng Xuan just put her hand behind her head, brushed the ground and pulled away the ivory chopsticks of her hairpin, grabbed her bun, rubbed it twice, hooked her lips and said: "I'm afraid that on the second night of marriage, I will go to the concubine's room according to my grandmother's wishes, and you won't be able to get over your face." But madam, you also advised me so, then I had no choice but to be respectful than obey. ”
He Angelica was stunned, he didn't expect to send away the plague god like this, and he couldn't believe his good luck.
"Seeing that you are in a hurry, my head is sweating," Meng Xuan grabbed her by the shoulder and placed her on the side of the bed, "I'll ask the girl to fetch hot water to freshen you up." Don't get your hair wet, I'm not here today, who will dry your long hair, you should have a headache after a night's sleep. With that, he lifted his robe, and really strode away.
He Angelica was ready to tell the whistle and wait for him to be angry with himself. I didn't expect to pass the test easily, Meng Xuan was angry with her, did she leave in anger? It's no wonder that she is one husband and wife, she shouldn't say bad things about Meng Xuan in front of her elders, but what she said is all the truth, and it's all for Meng Xuan's good, and she still has to tell her elders again: Husband, he is cool and good at reading the Spring Palace!
Who asked him to rummage through her dowry, pulled out King Yan's burden from the dowry, and pulled her to read it together. Such a shameless act, if he doesn't let his elders come out to take care of it, I don't know what deviant things he will do in the future. She is so selfless and dedicated to others, of course the old lady appreciates it.
"Ma'am." Two unfamiliar faces and slender maids walked in, brushed their blessings and said, "The seventh master asked the slave maid to serve grandma to freshen up and go to bed." A few other little maids cleaned the table and brought hot water.
"Where did the Seventh Master go?" He Angelica didn't call them, and asked gently.
"Aunt Xun went there." One of them replied respectfully in a bowing posture.
The other maid didn't wait for He Angelica to be exempted, and spontaneously stood up. When He Angelica looked at it, he saw that her expression was innocent, as if she didn't think it was any different, and guessed that her unruly behavior should not be due to disobedience, but that she had learned too little rules and had no experience in serving her master. This can also be explained by the fact that Meng Xuan rarely uses people in the family to serve.
He Danggui paused, and Fang smiled and said: "My few dowry girls are really lazy to get home, and when they are at home, they will bring me tea and water, come here, they have become masters, and send you to run errands." It's still a girl from Mengfu, and she's diligent enough. ”
Lu Yao, the maid who gave herself free courtesy, hurriedly smiled and said: "What did grandma say, we are afraid that we will not serve well and make grandma unhappy." Last night, they pestered Sister Mint and asked for a long time before asking grandma's preferences. Then, the slave waits for grandma to wash her face and even her face, right? ”
He Angelica smiled silently and did not get up.
The other maid still maintained a saluting posture, she was Meng Xuan specially assigned to serve He Angelica's lotus lotus, she was alive with her eyes and heart, and she heard the meaning of the words of the seventh grandmother, not complaining that the mint was too lazy, but the person who was too close to serve her, not her dowry maid, but two fresh faces, which made her dissatisfied.
Thinking of this, Lotus Lotus smiled and explained: "Grandma doesn't know, the maids and grandmothers who accompany the marriage have to go to Mama Leng to report once, at least three days, at most a month, and then send them back." This is the old rule in the house, and it used to be like this when the eldest grandmother and the second grandmother married in. It's better for grandma to use the slave maid for two days, or the slave and maid will serve the grandmother to your heart's content. ”
"Report to Mama Leng?" He Angelica frowned, "Return in January at the latest?" ”
"That's right, Mama Leng is the teaching mother in the house, and she is responsible for training the maids. Grandma doesn't have to worry, if she is as outstanding as Sister Mint, she will come back in three days, and she may be able to rise to the first-class maid. The lotus lotus remained in a smiling posture, even though her legs and stomach were sore, her movements were not deformed, and her smile remained soft. Convinced that first impressions are important, she is determined to stand out from several maids and let her master be the first to discover her cleverness.
Teach Mama Xi, don't even say hello, and directly train the bride's dowry maid?! It's still the old rules of the Meng Mansion! He Angelica counted several prominent families in the south who were famous for their strict rules, and he couldn't think of any of them with such strange rules.
The dowry maid is an accessory of the married lady, and the nature of the dowry is almost the same, and the daughter-in-law's dowry is absolutely at her own disposal, and only the daughter-in-law who has committed the seven sins will be temporarily withheld by the in-laws The dowry will be temporarily withheld by the in-laws. This is the general rule that applies to the entire Ming Dynasty, otherwise which family would dare to give the expensive dowry when marrying their daughter? And the Meng family unceremoniously confiscated the dowry maid, which is equivalent to giving the new daughter-in-law a dismount as soon as she entered the door.
He Angelica was amazed by this overlord rule in his heart, and only didn't care about it on his face, and said: "Mint is also undertrained, I am usually used to it, and I can get by, just take this opportunity to let them learn the rules." ”
The two lotus lotus root maidens came up to serve He Angelica to wash his face, using red pomegranate cleansing salt and ice mud moisturizing cream, these things, He Angelica only used in the court back then, and he had never even seen it in this life. At this moment, smelling the fragrant fragrance of red pomegranates like a world away, and tasting the comfortable feeling of cool and slippery ice mud swimming across her cheeks, she also enjoyed it very much, so she emptied her mind, didn't think about anything, quietly brushed up, put on the raw silk hair mask for hair maintenance, and climbed into bed fragrant and beautiful.
The lotus root untied the red gauze tent, put it together smoothly with a mulberry hook, and looked at the sleeping face of the person on the bed, the lotus root only felt incredible, which woman did not rely on her husband after marriage. The seventh master said to go away, can this one still sleep?
Lotus Root and Lu Yao are not talking nonsense, they really did their homework last night, pulled the mint hawthorn a few questions, and inquired about most of the new grandmother's living habits.
Most young ladies don't like to go to bed too dark, so they want to leave a small oil lamp enough to light overnight, and they also need two girls who go to work at night, and they have to be accompanied by someone when they get up at night, because the lady's noble jade hand is unwilling to remove the toilet lid, and someone has to do it for you. However, it is said that the county lord's grandmother never left a light at night, and she also got up in the dark, and did not keep vigil or sleep in the house. After hearing this, they will be skeptical.
Lu Yao blew out all the lights and candles "whew", and didn't hear the complaints, so she believed that Mint didn't lie, this master is different.
The door was closed with a "squeak-", He Angelica turned over, opened his eyes for a while, and poked the gorgeous cold bead curtain with his slender fingers, until his eyes were sour, and then he yawned again to cultivate sleepiness.
Sleepless all night, she got up early in the morning, shook out of a room under the north corridor in her bedclothes, tried to call someone, but found that it was all empty rooms, and couldn't help pouting, is Meng Xuan a disciple of the Hou Mansion? There is not even a complete person around to serve him. Is his aunt so desolate on the other side?
There was no hot water available, and she couldn't freshen up, so she went to the court to look at the flowers, wrapped a bag with a handkerchief and went back to the house, and when she entered the house, she was stunned.
An extra basin of hot water on the basin stand?
A man sitting on the edge of the bed?
Looking at her appearance, it vaguely seems to be her husband?
"What are you ......" He Angelica asked with some uncertainty, "Specially brought water to the concubine?" "Before dawn, I climbed out of the bed of the beautiful concubine and poured washing water for my wife, what a loyal, filial piety, righteous and benevolent husband this is!
Meng Xuan changed into a dark silver robe with chrysanthemum trim, yawned tiredly, and hurriedly said: "Father came to send me an errand to go out yesterday, and I couldn't shirk it, so I had to go." It's been a few days when you're not at home, and you're careful. ”
A bag of petals rested lightly on the table, He Angelica raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't know how long my husband will go?" ”
"I can't say, it's long, and it's possible in half a year." Meng Xuan stared at her face slightly, and instructed, "I left Yitong in the outer courtyard, and my grandmother left in the inner courtyard, you can use these two people with confidence." Actually, my mother sent me to the garden, and I was on an errand for a few years, and I was safe. In the past, I rarely asked about the affairs of the garden, and I did not raise the positions of many subordinates. Now that you are the master, you are willing to promote whichever one you want, and let them support your affection and serve with your heart. ”
“…… Then thank you Seventh Master," He Angelica lowered his head and smiled, "The concubine happens to have a lot of doubts, and I want to ask a grandmother-level character." Thank you for being so thoughtful and coming to visit the concubine before leaving. ”
Meng Xuan paused and said, "My father asked me to leave last night, but I stumbled over something, so I didn't leave until now." ”
Something stumbled? Where is Aunt Xun? He Angelica thought so.
Meng Xuan stretched his waist and stood up, dusted off the corners of his robe on his cuffs, and his handsome face said a little tired, which couldn't help but make He Angelica wonder, what could make him tired like this? Meng Xuan said: "Now I don't dare to show my face, I have to go quietly, so as not to bump into people and be scolded in my father's ears." I came to quit you because I wanted to entrust you with something. ”
He Danggui returned to his senses, smiled and lowered his head: "Husband is too polite, you are out of the house, I should have bothered about family affairs." All you have to do is tell me, and I will do whatever I want. ”
Meng Xuan walked closer, leaned closer to her small and delicate ear, whispered a few words and stepped away, and then resigned very politely, and the whole person disappeared in the room. He Danggui walked a few steps to the door, and when he saw that the courtyard was empty, he couldn't help but sigh Meng Xuan's supernatural light skills, and turned around to wash his face with hot water.
He even asked her to help take care of the ...... Bastard?
