Chapter Twenty-Five: Jealousy

In the evening, Master Lei came back from the pilgrimage full of joy. At the moment of entering the gate of Lei Mansion, he still hummed the tune of the big words in the play, and walked into the living room with a look of great ambition.

At the moment of entry, I saw Mrs. Lei's wife Li sitting on the master's chair in the center of the hall, with a spring breeze on her face. Master Lei was suddenly surprised in his heart, and thought that he had gone to the wrong place, so he couldn't help but look around, and yes, he went inside.

Mrs. Lei's Li stepped forward with a smile, and said: "The master has worked hard, the slave family has prepared for the evening, so we will wait for the master to come back and dine together." ”

Old Man Lei suddenly became suspicious, and looked at his wife Li in confusion in amazement. It's a good day for Nada, Mrs. Li has become so docile and considerate today, I'm afraid that the sun will come out of the west.

"Master, what are you doing there? This is your home, and I am your wife. Could it be that the lord doesn't even recognize his own home and wife? Don't be stunned, hurry up and eat, it won't taste good if it's cold. Mrs. Lei Li shouted softly as jade, so that Master Lei could be used for a while.

"Well, madam, are you making a fuss today? It took so much effort to coax me. Madam, you don't have any special 'good' heart, do you? Master Lei still asked suspiciously, and slowly stepped up to the dining table and sat down. The look of suspicion and anxiety seems to be that the horror in my heart has not completely let go of my guard.

Mrs. Lei Li poured a glass of wine, raised it in front of Master Lei and said with a smile: "The master has worked hard, the concubine respects the master with a cup, and wishes the master to rise step by step, the family house is prosperous, and the happiness and longevity are complete." ”

Master Lei greeted him in surprise: "Madame, how polite, do we all need to be so old husbands and wives for so many years?" It's better to be casual, comfortable, and helpless. ”

Mrs. Lei's Li continued to say, "Ah, the old man said it well, we are all old husbands and wives for so many years, do we still need to be so raw?" Suddenly, the cup in his hand was raised on the table, and he shouted: "Since the old man himself said that there is no need to be so raw, then you should honestly and clearly tell the old lady, what has Dong Yanzhi, the fox spirit in your Lei Mansion done during this time?" If there is half a false sentence to coax the old lady, be careful that I tear down your skinny skeleton. ”

Suddenly, Master Lei was terrified in his heart, and sure enough, Mrs. Li's pretentiousness was not good-hearted, and she didn't recognize anyone as soon as she turned her face. Master Lei was too afraid to refute, so he had to whisper with a bitter gourd face: "Madam, you, you are where you are." You see that you are like an angry tigress squatting at the gate all day long, watching my every move, not to mention a vixen, or a small mosquito flying by and being spotted by you. If I had any kind of abnormal behavior, it would have been destroyed by you, and it would have been your turn to play this play, madam. ”

Mrs. Lei Li smiled contemptuously: "Ha, ha, master, you monkey shouldn't have scared people to hide it from me." If you want to take a wife and take a concubine, if you want to hide a beautiful house, if you want to glorify your ancestors, you have to discuss with me! Who told you to take matters into your own hands? If the old lady hadn't asked about this today, maybe you would still be pretending to be confused? Don't say yes, I have a way to let the master say it himself. ”

"Madam, the old man really didn't do anything to be sorry for you, how can you say it as a husband. Besides, everything in our Lei Mansion is a gift from your Li Jialiang Palace, and the old man doesn't have that heart or the guts. It was the man who splashed the old man who spoke ill of the old man in front of his wife and told him to come out, and the old man wanted to kill him. Old Man Lei was so angry that he gritted his teeth and roared, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Ha, ha, yes, as soon as I mentioned this in front of my mother, I wanted to kill people. No wonder others say that whoever spoils the good deeds of the master will not end well. This time I saw it clearly, but I was afraid that if I called this person out, the master would not be able to do it. Mrs. Lei said arrogantly and coquettishly, and then didn't look at Master Lei at the table.

Master Lei is really bitter at this time, and he can't sue if he is wronged. With a stomach full of resentment, I can't wait to immediately hunt down and kill the guy who spread rumors and make trouble, and relieve the resentment in my heart. He had the courage to muttered to Mrs. Lei's wife, Li: "Tigress, you call out that damn thing, I chopped him up, so as to save the anger of being wronged." “

Mrs. Lei Li sneered again: "Okay, you cut it, you chop it, the old lady is watching from the side." It's strange, come out and see if your father, the monkey, is going to chop you! ”

As soon as Mrs. Lei's words landed, Lei Tian walked out from behind the screen in a big way, and pestle aside, looking indifferent to the exaggeration.

Suddenly, Master Lei understood everything. It turned out that he was beaten by Mrs. Li for no reason today, all of which were done behind this kid's back, all for Dong Yanzhi's little girl. Ignoring the love of father and son, the righteousness of humility, jealousy, and playing right and wrong.

Lei Tianyi greeted Master Lei with a smile on his face in front of Mrs. Lei's Li with no good intentions: "Dad, how are you doing?" But the spring breeze is proud, and the willow color is fragrant? ”

With a "phew", Master Lei spit out a mouthful of water to Lei Tianyi, which was regarded as answering the question of this rebel.

Mrs. Lei's Li Shi said lukewarmly on the side: "Master, you have nothing to say this time, right?" Didn't you utter a wild tongue to chop off your accusers? At this time, why don't you chop and kill? ”

Seeing this, Lei Tianyi knew that his mother was deliberately favoring him, so he was not annoyed or angry, but said to Master Lei with a smile: "Dad, don't forget to share a piece of the child's pie if you secretly suck nephrite!" You can't take advantage of it alone, and you can't use people to open it. ”

Master Lei couldn't help but sigh, and stayed in it with teary eyes, but he couldn't say a word.

Mrs. Lei threw the wine glass in her hand on the table, and walked into the backyard room with Yahuan Chunxiang angrily.

In the hall, only the father and son of the Lei family were left, one seemed to be dumb and speechless; One seems to be arrogant and triumphant.

The red light of the candle flame illuminated Dong Yanzhi's show room, shining through the lattice of the window lattice into the late autumn night, and the darkness pressed down on this corner of Lei Mansion like a thick iron curtain.

Dong Yanzhi leaned on the windowsill in pink and looked at the black night sky, her eyes radiating a shining light.

She remembered that on such nights, Li Qiusheng always leaned on the corner of the piano platform and silently watched her play and sing, with a praising smile on the corner of her mouth and a brilliant light in her eyes. The old bustard's mother, Liu Zhi'er, and the little girl in Tsing Yi sat alone curiously, silently watching the pair of young boys and girls with happy smiles on their faces.

Dong Yanzhi thought that this might be the happiest and best day for the few of them in the Blue and White Embroidery Building, and now she can only say goodbye to these distant years and build a sea of memories in her heart.

Dong Yanzhi walked back to the desk and sat down, picked up a book of piano scores on the table and looked at it carefully. This book of piano scores was given by Master Lei some time ago when he sent Steward Ma to seek a pianist outside and teach Dong Yanzhi. At that time, Dong Yanzhi didn't know the origin of this Zhujia pianist, and she was not willing to enter the Lei Mansion for training at that time, so she didn't care where this pianist was sacred. Therefore, Dong Yanzhi almost missed the pianist and avoided separation.

Looking at this piano book carefully tonight, Dong Yanzhi has a sigh of emotion, the subtlety and mystery of this book are all in this rhythm, which Dong Yanzhi has not been exposed to and studied before. Now she finally understands the picture when she first met this luthier, and this luthier immediately gave Dong Yanzhi a very high and classic praise, no different from the ordinary street corner of the aunt Fengying. So much so that Dong Yanzhi felt that this pianist was just a drunken person in the market, so she laughed contemptuously.

Now that the night is quiet and the wind is light, it is so classic under a closer look. Dong Yanzhi was wiping the book while stroking the piano lightly, and she had faintly felt the instructions of this strange pianist. It's not that the smile when they first met was light and superficial, it's just that this pianist can't say the truth in front of others. Dong Yanzhi was secretly grateful to this shallow pianist, and temporarily forgot the cowardice in her heart that fell into the deep pool of Lei Mansion. Dong Yanzhi's heart suddenly felt a lot more settled, and she no longer seemed boring and superficial.

And outside the window of the house, Lei Tianyi, who was inlaid with a pair of rat-eyebrow thieves, peeked in through the small gap in the window lattice, and the shallow smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth was full of smug lewd smile. He tiptoed to the window, trying to get as close as possible to the window to see it clearly, hoping to give a hint of spring rain to the haggard situation burning in his heart.

In the living room of Lei Mansion, a candle flame was misty, shaking and extinguishing. The maid who was no longer serving next to him, and the steward who had been saddle before and after the horse also disappeared at this time.

Master Lei sat quietly alone in the master's chair, silent. He finally raised his hand to wipe the dry tears in his eyes, and thought to himself that instead of being humiliated by this tigress at home for no reason, it would be better to grit his teeth and throw this Dong Yanzhi out of Lei's mansion to fend for herself, and he couldn't make the current discord between father and son, and the house was not in harmony.

When the night breeze blew, Master Lei picked up the teacup and took a sip, but he shivered a few times. Although he felt that he had done a lot of things in his life for fame, fortune and status, and even he felt despised, there had never been a thing that made him so dilemma as now, and he was even ridden by his wife Li on the erection to show his majesty. In order to get Dong Yanzhi, that unscrupulous son came to the bottom of the axe to draw salary, adding fuel and vinegar in front of the tigress.

He thought that even if he was a bad person, his desires and fantasies in his heart were no different from ordinary people, and he also longed to have the desire to enjoy a prosperous family.

With a sigh, Master Lei finally blew out the last shining red candle in the hall and slowly walked to the wing room in the backyard.

"Figured out how to do it? You playful talent monkey. I won't be able to use my family law and anger to punish you again. "Master Lei just stepped into the wing, Mrs. Lei Li tore her throat and shouted coldly on the bed.

"I think I've thought about it, but I don't know if Madame is allowed to do this for her husband?" Master Lei agreed in a low voice, as if he was very frightened, and he didn't dare to speak loudly.

"Oh, then you can listen to it, and I'll take a look at it for you. But don't be cautious with me, I'm not playing with you, and I don't want to waste my tongue on these spilled courtesans. Mrs. Lei Li coldly burst out of her mouth again, filling the entire Ni Hong's house.

"Yes, ma'am. The old man thought that instead of being jealous like Tianyi, it is better to expel this Dong girl from Lei Mansion and put it in our troupe. In this way, it not only saves getting along with the world, but also saves the old man's worries, and the most important thing is to save your worries. Master Lei said angrily, what kind of rhetoric do you have.

"Ha, ha, it's said that the old lady is here. Let me ask you, can a courtesan be a match for the heavens? Is it the opposite of our door wind? How can a pheasant become a phoenix, just to be your concubine, and the old lady is still ashamed? Don't talk about this child, I don't know if your father and son are so obsessed, and they actually made such a fuss for a little-known girl's film, and spread it out, I'm afraid that my old face doesn't know where to put it, let alone the face of my family's Liang Wangfu. Mrs. Lei Li still said slowly, showing arrogance in front of Master Lei.

"Yes, madam, the lesson is that the husband is wrong, in fact, Dong Yanzhi should not be brought into the Lei Mansion." Master Lei still said in a low voice, and the grievances in his heart were not fully vented.

"Well, it's good to know, the old lady won't talk to you about this. Master, don't worry about that Dong Yanzhi from tomorrow, my mother will take care of it for you. I'm tired and I'm going to sleep. Mrs. Lei finally yawned and said slowly with a soft smack on her chest, as if she didn't take this matter to heart at all, and she could use it at will.

Old Man Lei suddenly widened his gloomy eyes again, and stood in the middle of it in a daze, unable to say a word of rebuttal. But he said slowly:

"Old, old, old man, just, just, no, a little bit of things, right?"
