Chapter 1: Goodbye, Little Broken (1)
In the small bronze mirror, Mrs. Bailing's cloudy black sideburns were reflected. Even though the hand mirror was small, and even because of the fire and beating, there were some cracks on the head, and the figure was not very clear, she still ignored the precious mahogany carved mirror and insisted on looking at her shadow in the hand mirror.
The two larks perched on the lattice suddenly began to coo, secretly ventilating her.
Mrs. Bailing thought to herself, "He's here again." ”
She went out to check just in time, a few immortal flowers had just fallen to the ground, and the soft petals were extremely delicate and fragrant.
"Hurry up and show up." She slammed into her head and laughed, "I know you're here." ”
"Ah......" Qi Bei's muffled voice sounded on the roof, "The birds are reporting again, right?" Alas, these guys are too fast-talking, more broken than a small one. ”
As she spoke, Qi Bei, who jumped off the roof, landed steadily, looking at the immortal flower she was holding in her hand, which really matched her appearance. I caught her right, and I couldn't help but feel a little hot on my cheeks.
"You, if you want to send flowers, come generously." Madame Bailing smiled, "Every time the dragon sees the head and the tail, how do I know who is coming?" What if the wind blows the flowers? ”
Qi Bei was a little stupid, and hurriedly argued: "The wind won't blow so accurately, and it will fall in front of your door every time." ”
Lady Bailing looked at him, and both of them suddenly smiled.
"There are fewer and fewer poisonous insects in the city these days, but you are still very busy, is there anything going on?"
"Nope!" He immediately replied, "Thanks to you for calling a flock of birds and bringing a hundred beasts, it is really useful to use natural enemies against insects." ”
"And what have you been busy with these two days?" She asked.
Qi Bei smiled a little shyly. However, he didn't plan to tell Mrs. Bailing that in the past two days, in the name of the Golden Crow Divine Envoy, he has accepted invitations from several big families to help pray for blessings and remove insects, etc., on the one hand, to do some good deeds, but also to take the opportunity to earn more silver. Seeing that her outfit is worth a lot of money, she must be used to the life of fine clothes and food in Jun'an City, and he doesn't want to wronged her.
The sensitive Mrs. Bailing didn't get a conclusive answer, and she didn't see the little henchman who was chattering, so she asked curiously, "Where is the little piece next to you?" ”
"He's going to Lingxiang Pavilion." Qi Bei replied without thinking about it.
Oh, it's Lingxiang Pavilion again.
The smile on Lady Bailing's face disappeared instantly.
If you go to Lingxiang Pavilion, then you will definitely not be able to avoid that name. She's really charismatic.
"Are you going to see Miss Sishuang?"
"Wow—how do you know?"
Sure enough, it is a woman's intuition, a guess is accurate, not to mention the Sishuang girl who has already attracted the attention of Mrs. Bailing.
Qi Bei was immediately amazed, and was about to praise her for guessing accurately, when she suddenly found that Mrs. Bailing's face was wrong, and began to wonder which sentence provoked her: Xiao Xiao did go to Sishuang and asked Ye Shiyu how he was preparing to go to sea. Could it be that Mrs. Bailing also arranged a listening bird in Lingxiang Pavilion and found out Ye Shiyu's whereabouts?
God—is this leaking out of the horse's feet!
Qi Bei, who thought about it, immediately tensed up and nervous.
The dodge in his tone was certainly easy for Lady Bailing to hear. After following the ladies in Jun'an City for a long time, she has learned the ability to track down her husband's whereabouts. It's just that the royal official has never hidden things like visiting the flower building and listening to small songs, as long as Mrs. Bailing asks, he confesses to him, and never feels that there is anything wrong.
No, it just so happened that Qibei appeared.
It turns out that you also go to find Miss Sishuang, okay, then let me ask for clarification.
Lady Bailing was a little nervous.
Most of the ladies in Jun'an City said so: If the officials conceal that they have visited the flower building, the first trick, which is also the most difficult to do, but the most necessary, is that they must not lower their stature and make trouble unreasonably. Crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself are the most immature styles, not only will your husband look at you, and you will get farther and farther away from you, but also say that you are cautious and dislike you for not being virtuous, after all, men, what's the big deal about visiting the song house? Moreover, if you sit firmly in the main room and really compete with the singers of the Qinglou, that is, you are willing to bow your head and depreciate your value.
This trick is not to teach you to swallow your anger, but to use wisdom to completely crush the man's lustful heart, that is, to be generous and quiet, tightly tie your husband's heart with the most virtuous wrist, and tear up the vixens around your husband with the highest rank. If you dare to quietly go behind my back to find a woman, I will be able to find out one by one without being in a hurry or angry, and spread it out to make it clear, so that you can understand who is the good wife and mother who can't be beaten, and who is the junior who will not return in a hurry, and see who admits defeat in the end. In doing so, it not only shows the upbringing of the rich and noble, but also completely prevails in ethics and reason, and more importantly, it can relax the husband's vigilance, and make him confess all the girls he has seen in the kilns he has visited these days.
Mrs. Bailing didn't hold back, and secretly used all these strategies on Qi Bei.
First of all, she didn't seem to care about Qi Bei's detailed discussion with Sishuang's secret room on the surface, and said tentatively: "You seem to be very familiar with Miss Sishuang." ”
Where has Qibei been subjected to such a test? He was terrified, and his mind was full of thoughts about whether Ye Shiyu, who was bent on going to sea, had exposed his whereabouts. Lying to her face outside the door of the secret room, he definitely didn't want to repeat it a second time. But, the more you are afraid of something, the more it will happen!
"No, no, no, I'm not familiar with Sishuang. I swear: I really don't know anything. She knows, I don't know a lot! They're just getting acquainted with it. At that time, Sishuang and I were just ...... In secret talks. There is no one else in the secret room, there really is no one else. You went in and looked around, and you didn't see anyone else, right? ”
It's not bad, he quickly disarmed and surrendered, admitting to having a private meeting with Sishuang. But—this confession sounds harsh enough: why do you keep insisting that there are only you and Sishuang in the secret room?
Madame Bailing accurately captured the key word, and asked very sensitively: "I really didn't see 'others' in the secret room. It's just the two of you in the chamber. ”
"Absolutely no one else!" Qi Bei didn't dare to breathe, and repeatedly emphasized, secretly thinking: I can't say that there is Ye Shiyu in the secret room.
Mrs. Bailing is very troubled: Qi Bei, why do you repeatedly emphasize that "there is no one else"? Do you just want to be alone with Sishuang? Don't you know that this will only make me more suspicious and angry? A man and a woman are alone in a secret room, and God knows what will happen. Furthermore, in general, shouldn't men first deny "private meetings"? How can he repeatedly emphasize and admit it?
"So, Sishuang invited you into the secret room alone, and the two of you are really familiar with each other, right?"
