Chapter Forty-Nine: The Gift of One or the Other
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
The sound of firecrackers in the old year.
With the sound of firecrackers, the New Year arrived.
On the first day of the new year, the sky cleared, and the sun shone warmly on people.
Because of the vigil until late the night before, Bai Susu slept until three poles in the morning the next day before he had to crawl out of the bed.
On the first day of the new year, Lu Zhiyuan went to the ancestral hall early in the morning, Bai Susu's concubine was not qualified to go in and kowtow, but Mingxiang and Chunlan came to kowtow to her after she got up, and said a lot of auspicious words, and Bai Susu, who was happy, rewarded a big red envelope.
"Auntie, you look so good today." Mingxiang, who combed her hair, praised.
"My aunt looks good every day." Chunlan, who picked out jewelry for her, answered.
Bai Susu looked in the mirror again and again, very satisfied with her appearance, the woman's hair in the mirror was coiled, a thin layer of powder was rubbed on her face, her lips were red, and her face was as gorgeous as a peach blossom.
After dressing up, Bai Susu changed into a new peach-pink dress, with a circle of white fox fur inlaid on the neckline and cuffs, the peach pink is gorgeous, and it happens that she has fair skin, so she looks particularly delicate when she wears it.
When Lu Zhiyuan came back from the ancestral hall, he saw a little lady standing at the door, smiling at him.
When he got closer, the little lady bent her knees and blessed her body to him, and said in a soft voice, "The concubine wishes the second master a new year, good health, and a safe year." ”
Lu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to help her up, and when he saw her like this, his voice couldn't help but soften, "Aunt Bai too." ”
Bai Susu nodded, a smile flashed in his bright eyes, and suddenly two hands spread out in front of him, "Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope." ”
Lu Zhiyuan smiled, reached out and pinched her obviously round face, "You, feelings are waiting for me here." ”
"Is there a red envelope?" Bai Susu grinned happily.
"What a money junkie." Lu Zhiyuan sighed, stretched out his hand and asked for a golden object from his arms, and looked at it as a gold ingot.
"My lord rewards you!" His voice fell, and he threw it lightly, and the gold ingots were thrown directly into Bai Susu's palm.
"Huh?"
Bai Susu was stunned, people gave gold jewelry and silver jewelry during the New Year, but they had never seen it and gave her a gold ingot.
"That's it?" Bai Susu blinked his eyes and asked unwillingly.
"There's another one." Lu Zhiyuan said and took out a small jade gourd pendant from his arms, held it and shook it in front of her eyes, "Choose one of the two, do you want gold ingots or jade gourds." ”
Bai Susu was embarrassed, she wanted both, "Second master, if you don't play like this, I want to do it." ”
"Nope." Lu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and said very seriously, "You can't be too greedy, you can only pick one." ”
Bai Susu was entangled for a moment, what she held in her hand was a heavy gold ingot, and in front of her was a small jade gourd, which looked like a good thing, but the kind that could only be placed and could not be used, she didn't want it.
"I still want gold ingots." The silver in her hand, don't think she takes it out, the little gourd is of little use except for being good-looking.
Lu Zhiyuan didn't speak, and silently put away the jade gourd, "Let's enter the house." "He looked like he was hurt.
Bai Susu beat the drum in her heart, thinking that she should have chosen the gold ingots to make him think that he was an open-eyed person.
Thinking of this, she was a little uneasy, and hurriedly chased after her skirt, "Second master, let's eat dumplings today, what filling do you want to eat?" ”
"Whatever you want, I don't have anything special to eat." Lu Zhiyuan's mood was not high.
Bai Susu hurriedly thought about remedy, but she said a lot of good things, but they didn't work, and finally she had no choice but to take out the gold ingots that had not yet been hot, "Otherwise, I'll choose the little gourd." ”
As soon as she said this, Lu Zhiyuan suddenly became happy, and there seemed to be light in his dark eyes, "Really? ”
"Really." Bai Susu pursed her lips, no, your old man is going to be awkward this day.
After Lu Zhiyuan took out the little gourd and put it in her hand again, and happily put the gold ingots into his pocket, Bai Susu thought in hindsight, should he be reluctant to give her the gold ingots, so he tried to get it back.
In the end, the little jade gourd was hung on Bai Susu's neck by Lu Zhiyuan, and Bai Susu didn't understand what his mysterious approach was for, in short, if he liked it, he liked it himself.
In the evening, the two blended together and were satisfied with each other.
Bai Susu yawned tiredly, closed his eyes and fell asleep in a daze. Lu Zhiyuan was not sleepy, he looked down at the jade gourd hanging on Bai Susu's chest, and felt very satisfied.
Speaking of this jade gourd, we have to start from ten years ago.
When Lu Zhiyuan was fourteen years old, it was at the age when he first fell in love, and occasionally read some lingering crimson poems, and he would also fantasize about what the woman he liked was like. I happened to get a piece of jade, and I thought about it, so I made a small jade gourd, waiting for the person I liked to give it to her in the future.
He wanted to give this jade gourd out three times, the first time when he was fifteen years old, he longed for a sister next door, but before he could express his thoughts, the sister next door married far away. The second time was after marrying Luo, he thought that Luo's was his wife, and he was the one who wanted to grow old with him, so he wanted to give it to her, but Luo's gave his things to a maid, and he was so angry that he didn't eat for several days, and finally Zhu Ping couldn't stand it, so he took the opportunity to get it back from the maid.
He was really angry about this, and later after that age, the charming thoughts of his youth were forgotten little by little, and the little gourd was shelved for many years.
This was also just in time to clean the house a year ago, Zhu Ping accidentally knocked over a box on a shelf, and he remembered that there was such a thing.
He hesitated for a long time with the jade gourd, thinking that after all, it was something he made himself, and he must give it away, fulfilling his young wish.
But he didn't think that this Aunt Bai chose the gold ingots without blinking her eyes, and she was not at all tempted by his little gourd, which made him very hurt.
But fortunately, Aunt Bai knew that she could change her mistakes, and she quickly realized her mistakes and made the right choice again, so he would forgive her once.
Bai Susu will sleep soundly, how did she know that such a small gourd could involve such a complicated young man's heart. She rolled over and leaned over in search of the warmth beside her, her soft hair touching the man's chest, evoking a lingering touch.
It was already deep at night, it was quiet outside the window, the candles in the room had burned to the bottom, and the wax oil occasionally dripped and made a sizzling sound.
When I woke up, the next day it was still good weather.
The New Year is so good, you don't have to do anything, just eat and drink every day. Of course, she usually doesn't have much to do, as a concubine, or a favored concubine, she just needs to be beautiful every day, and then beautiful.
Lu Zhiyuan didn't need to go to the yamen to work at this time, and stayed in her Hefeng Courtyard most of the time. I spend more time together, and naturally there is some trouble, that is, I don't know what to do, and I often look at each other.
Lu Zhiyuan likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Bai Susu likes to eat, drink and have fun.
Although the preferences of the two are not at the same point at all, the relationship is getting stronger day by day.
The reason for this is that Bai Susu feels a little shameless, she is probably very favored by Lu Zhiyuan in bed.
The days were calm from the first day of the new year to the fifteenth, and the spring became warmer day by day.
At the moment, Luoche, who lives in Taizhou, is very sad.
When Lu Zhiyuan's life and death were uncertain, she took someone away, and the news of the earthquake had passed for a while, but Lu Zhiyuan seemed to have forgotten her, every time she wrote to say that she wanted to go back, she said that she was not in a hurry, Taizhou was beautiful, and let her stay for a while.
The more Luo thought about it, the more wrong it became, he lived here, and there was a concubine next to Lu Zhiyuan at home, where could she put her mind at ease, and discussed it with Mama Tu, and immediately decided not to wait, and went home.
For Luo, Bai Susu is now a lot calmer, Luo is a wife, she is a concubine. She just does her duty, how can there be so many things that go well in this world, Luo bought her, and also contributed to the marriage between her and Lu Zhiyuan, in their last life, except for their names, there is no difference between them and real husband and wife, at this time, let her give up her man, she asked herself if she could do it.
One day at the end of March, Roche returned.
Bai Susu was at the door, Luo looked at her, she hadn't seen her for a few months, and she was mellow again, the biggest change was her bearing, it seemed to be completely different from before, Aunt Bai in the past saw Luo Shi with more awe in her eyes, but now she has become calm, such calm and gentle, so that Luo Zhi suddenly became alert.
"During this time, the second master is thanks to you for taking care of me." Luo went back to the room and sat down, and the next person broke the tea, and she took a slow sip before she spoke, "Qinghua, give my pair of white jade bracelets to Aunt Bai." ”
She used the word reward to remind Bai Susu that no matter how much she is favored, she will always be just a concubine.
Bai Susu smiled and thanked the reward, she was originally a concubine, she knew this from the first day she was brought in, and she never had much of a high mind, wanting to surpass her identity.
Seeing that she didn't care, Luo's brows furrowed subconsciously, Aunt Bai was really different from before.
Coming out of Luo's courtyard, Bai Susu was in a good mood, after all, she could get two bracelets with good texture after turning around, and she was quite satisfied.
Compared with her happiness, Luo's room was a little low, the master was unhappy, and the maids naturally didn't dare to gasp.
Mama Tu comforted her softly while smoothing her back, "According to the slave maid, this white aunt looks no different from before. It's that young lady, you should pay more attention. ”
As soon as she reminded her like this, Luo Shi suddenly became alert, she had really been outside for a long time, and she had forgotten about Qingniang.
