Volume 2 The Second Drum Watch: The Spring in the Teaching Workshop is Deep, and the Wind and Moon are Strong Chapter 197 The days are long and tormenting
Mrs. Du said softly: "In any family, there will be a few concubines, which is a common thing. You will have this grace to accommodate her. ”
Fu Xuechan snorted coldly, Yaliang? She didn't. Zhao Kuangyi fell off the house and left for a year, running with the prostitute. I don't even know my whereabouts. It has become the talk of all teahouses and restaurants, and the entire Kaifeng and the entire Great Zhou have been spreading, where does her face go? They don't have a face, she still has a face.
If she used to be just a bitter heart for Xiao Tao, now she is full of hatred. A prostitute, a slut, actually compared her to her, and robbed her husband to live a small life together. Those days were the most difficult days for her, and she heard several times that Zhao Kuangyin found them, but they escaped. She had just ignited a little hope. In the blink of an eye, it sank to the bottom of the ice again.
During that time, she had insomnia every night, and in less than three months, her hair fell out a lot, and her face was sallow. Described as emaciated. She doesn't know if Zhao Kuangyi will come back? If he doesn't come back for the rest of his life, will she have to wait for the rest of her life? As the days passed, she almost collapsed. Where is Zhao Kuangyi? She wanted to pull him out of the cracks in the ground, why did he want to leave her? Why did he mistake her like this? Is she going to be a widow for the rest of her life? This year has been spent in this anxiety, Fu Xuechan became even a little nervous, and was so frightened that King Wei invited many famous doctors to diagnose and treat him, so that the situation did not deteriorate.
It was easy to look forward to Zhao Kuangyi coming back, but he didn't come to pick him up, or even come to visit him. Fu Xuechan was so angry that she kept throwing things at home. Fortunately, Mrs. Wei Wang kept comforting her: "It's good to come back." During this time, he has recovered his military power and is busy, and when he is busy, he will naturally pick you up, how can he ignore you. ”
Fu Xuechan waited hard, and a few times she almost couldn't help but want to rush to the barracks to find Zhao Kuangyi and ask him if he wanted her as a wife. However, she came from a noble background. After all, I can't wipe my face. I had to continue to wait, until the expectation turned into anger, and when all the suffering turned into hatred.
finally waited for someone to pick her up, but it was not Zhao Kuangyi, but Zhao Kuangyin's subordinates. King Wei was also angry and ready to ask, but was stopped by his wife: "Okay." Don't be angry anymore, do you want Xuechan to live at home for the rest of your life? People have already given the steps, so hurry down the steps, where is our turn to play temper? ”
So Fu Xuechan was taken to Zhao's mansion, and within two days, she was sent to Mrs. Du's mansion. Before coming, Fu Xuechan knew that the cheap prostitute was also here, what does the Zhao family mean by this?
Now Mrs. Du is elegant with her, and she can be elegant to anyone, but to this cheap prostitute. She couldn't have it. Fu Xuechan looked at Mrs. Du and asked very directly: "Old lady, I heard that Kuang Yi had plans to accept her as a wife. I just want to ask, am I the eldest in this family, or am I on an equal footing with her? "Lower Adi.
Fu Xuechan's directness made Mrs. Du stunned for a moment, and then smiled warmly: "Xuechan, not to mention that you are of noble birth, it is the grace and style of everyone in this body, you actually compare yourself with her, and you have lowered your status." To be a man, we must first know our own position, we should not be low, and we should not be low, and we should not be high. ”
Mrs. Du's tone was gentle and determined, and there was a sense of majesty that could not be shaken. Fu Xuechan, who said this, felt a burst of ironing in her heart, and naturally felt close to Mrs. Du. The coldness and arrogance on Fang Cai's face dropped slightly, and he nodded slightly to Old Madam Du and said, "That's what you said." ”
Mrs. Du continued: "You are the wife of Kuang Yi Ming Media, and you are naturally in charge of family affairs. No one can put a beak. ”
Mrs. Du's words made Fu Xuechan's heart more comfortable, which undoubtedly gave Fu Xuechan a token. The Zhao family is in charge, after all, it is she Fu Xuechan. Old Madam Du paused for a moment, and then said: "However, although the Ye family is a concubine, she is also a member of the Zhao family in the end, and Kuang Yi attaches great importance to it, even if it is for Kuang Yi's sake, you have to do it." Kuang Yi's heart is comfortable, and we can follow the comfort in our hearts, what do you say? ”
Mrs. Du's last sentence was meaningful, Fu Xuechan turned this sentence in her mind, hooked her lips and smiled: "I know, mother." Fu Xuechan is not stupid, their motives for bringing her and the cheap prostitutes here, coupled with Mrs. Du's words, made Fu Xuechan already have a score in her heart. For that cheap prostitute, it's not that you don't clean it up, but you have to clean it up smarter.
Mrs. Du arranged Fu Xuechan in the east courtyard. The east courtyard is closer to Mrs. Du's courtyard, and it is more magnificent. On the first day, Fu Xuechan mainly instructed her subordinates to clean up and settle the courtyard, and put the glazed eight-treasure screen and the soft chaise longue with Baibao incense all in place. As well as all kinds of daily utensils, they are all placed one by one. In this way, the east courtyard where Fu Xuechan lives is even more rich and noble. Xiao Tao listened to the movement of the East Courtyard, and was quite apprehensive, did she want to help? After thinking about it, I still felt that I didn't need to annoy people, so I shrank in the west courtyard.
Early the next morning, Fu Xuechan and Xiao Tao both went to greet Mrs. Du. Fu Xuechan went first, but she deliberately chatted for a long time and didn't leave, until Xiao Tao went in. Xiao Tao saw Fu Xuechan tugging hard in her heart, but she still tried her best to calm her emotions, and after greeting Mrs. Du, she bowed to Fu Xuechan: "Xiao Tao has seen Madame." ”
Fu Xuechan saw that Xiao Tao felt sick to her stomach for a while, and looked Xiao Tao up and down coldly, and sure enough, she was still the sick and cheap look. Now that Zhao Kuangyi is not here, I really don't know who to show the twist. Fu Xuechan's fists were clenched, and it took a lot of strength to endure the resentment in her heart, and she tried to make a faint smile at Xiao Tao: "No need to be polite." When will it arrive? ”
"Ten days ago." Xiao Tao answered truthfully.
Mrs. Du continued Xiao Tao's words and said: "But it's hard for this child, accompany me, an old woman, to talk about Buddhist scriptures every day, and listen to me talk about some topics for thousands of years, it's time to suffocate." Now that Xue Chan is here, you are of the same age, and the most talkative thing is that I will be relieved. As he spoke, he stood up, "I'm tired too, so you can keep talking." ”
Lan Gu came over and helped Mrs. Du into the back hall. The smile on Fu Xuechan's face was a little stagnant, and she looked at Xiao Tao and said in a stiff tone: "Then let's not occupy the old lady's house, I just cleaned up there, can you go and see?" ”
Xiao Tao didn't want to make trouble for herself: "I still don't bother Madame." Let's see it another day. ”
Fu Xuechan couldn't help it, and the snarkyness that she had been holding back for a long time poured out: "Don't want to go? Think my place is not worthy of your noble status? ”
Xiao Tao saw that Fu Xuechan was angry, so she had to bite her lip and said, "No." I just don't want to disturb Madame, since Madame is gracious, then Xiao Tao is better than obeying her fate. ”
Fu Xuechan was too lazy to continue acting, and strode out in front. Xiao Tao had to follow closely. Out of Mrs. Du's courtyard, turn right and cross a small white jade bridge, and you will arrive at Fu Xuechan's east courtyard.
After entering the house, Fu Xuechan leaned on the chaise longue, and the maid who had already served brought tea and refreshments. There are also those who came to serve Fu Xuechan's hands.
Xiao Tao looked around, it was indeed magnificent. walked back and forth again, turned to Fu Xuechan and said, "Madame, the objects here should be very good. ”
Fu Xuechan pinched a piece of tea from the plate beside her, and while eating, she said casually: "Just take some worthless things from home and put them on the table." By the way, my embroidery girl here wants to embroider a picture of a beauty, but it has never looked like it. Aren't you here now? You sit there, and let my embroidery girl here follow your pattern and embroider it. Fu Xuechan's tone became more and more blunt, and she didn't give Xiao Tao time and space to argue at all.
Xiao Tao had no choice but to nod: "Okay." Fu Xuechan pointed to a bench under the window and told Xiao Tao to sit down. Then let the maid go to the back hall to find the embroidery girl, and said: "This is the pattern of the beauty picture, you can follow it." The embroidery girl bowed her head and promised, and then sat on the chair on the side of Xiao Tao, and drew carefully according to Xiao Tao.
Fu Xuechan reclined on the chaise longue behind, looking at the silhouette of Xiao Tao not far away, wisps of hard ice shot out of her eyes, and she stabbed them directly. From now on, there is something to do. The pain that Ye Xiaotao brought her, the injuries she brought her, those sleepless nights, those crazy and lonely collapses, she wanted to get it back in the same way. Fu Xuechan put the grapes in her mouth for a moment, and coldly spit out the skin.
Xiao Tao sat upright on the stool, the sun went west little by little, Xiao Tao looked at the shadow under the window a little west, I don't know how long the embroidery girl has been painting. Sometimes I was too tired and wanted to move, and the embroidery girl's voice came immediately: "Don't move." You can't draw well when you move. ”
Xiao Tao had no choice but to continue to sit with her waist upright. One pillar of incense, two pillars of incense, one hour, two hours, Xiao Tao didn't know how long she had been sitting, but she felt that her waist didn't seem to be her own. The embroidery lady watched her draw carefully.
Xiao Tao was so hungry that her eyes were dizzy, and she didn't eat at noon, and now it's almost evening, but she has no tendency to stop. Xiao Tao couldn't help but shudder and asked, "Madam, is it okay?" ”
Fu Xuechan fiddled with the leaves on the plate in front of her, and said coldly: "It's okay, naturally I will shout to stop." Don't you even want to do such a thing? There are a lot of things to do to live in a house, and it is not so easy for you to be a lady who doesn't have to move your hands and feet. Or are your Tang people's bones too delicate? Fighting soft bones, even as a trick, do you have to find someone to support your waist? ”
Xiao Tao was stabbed a little painfully by Fu Xuechan's harsh words, and couldn't help but straighten her waist. After painting for a long time, the light in the room was dim and unclear, and the embroidery girl finally said, "It's done." ”
Xiao Tao wanted to stand up, but as soon as she stood up, she had already fallen to the ground with her heels.
