Chapter 2 Sharing a Bed
"The ladies of Yanqing Pavilion will stay here for two days, and tomorrow the Japanese general will order someone to send a new set of dresses." Before Xiao Chengyu left, he only left such an indifferent sentence.
Yao Yun was a little apprehensive, and lay back on the bed lightly, and the soft and silky brocade quilt still had the thick and fierce aura of the rude man. The burning and solid touch in the palm of her hand, the soreness and tiredness in her wrist, she couldn't let go, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, as the general had said, a soldier himself brought her a new dress. The clothes can cover the body and be neat as new, which can indeed make her feel at ease.
The moon and stars are scarce, and the sound is silent.
Yao Yun slept soundly on the bed, drowsy, and suddenly a strange foreign object ran over her face, back and forth, making her slightly painful and itchy. The strong but familiar smell of agarwood from the man's body poured into her nose, and her breath was hot and hot, enveloping her like a wave of heat, and she could not resist in the slightest.
She opened her eyes in horror, it turned out to be him!
The man's face pressed against hers, and the burning skin of the two pressed against each other, intimacy.
Yao Yun had enough strength to push him away, but he didn't expect the person in front of him to move violently, so he neatly scooped up her hands and forcibly shackled them above her head.
His rough and dry lips rubbed her pink earlobes intentionally or unintentionally, and his rough and calloused palm outlined her palm, and he said in a dumb voice: "Cooperate with me!" ”
She suddenly understood, and with difficulty moved her waist above her head, trying to get away from him. She raised her eyes to look at the dark arc of the zenith, trying to ignore the hot and red cheeks, her lips slightly opened, and the wonderful sound of coquettish whispering was intermittent, one after another, like a heavenly sound.
It's false, but it's true.
was playing on the spot, but the man's eyes became more and more scarlet and moist, and he was unexpectedly different. Maybe it's because the widower has been in drought for a long time, and now that the Xiao family's army has won a big victory over Beidi and returned triumphantly, his mind is relaxed. That's how he convinced himself.
Sensing that there were no spies outside the door, Xiao Chengyu quickly got up and lifted the curtain and walked out. In this way, he inherited the "good intentions" of Changdehou, acted absurdly, indulged in sensuality, and disturbed military discipline, and the saint would not always be afraid of him.
The night is long, and the fish is white. The general didn't return all night, but a soldier came to inform her this morning that the ladies of Yanqing Pavilion were leaving immediately.
"Xiao Langjun, dare to ask if the general will come over in a while?" Yao Yun asked worriedly.
The soldier looked at her with a strange expression, and his tone revealed a bit of disgust and hatred: "Our general went out on official business early this morning, don't be delusional, pack up your things, and leave quickly!" ”
Yao Yun was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood how the soldier looked at her. But now she is penniless, and she is in desperate need of money. Seeing that there was no one outside the tent, she rummaged through two wooden boxes in the northwest corner, and finally found a heavy bag of money.
This plan is really a last resort, and I hope the general will not blame it.
In Chang'an City in September, the autumn wind gradually rises, and everything is depressed.
Yao Yun and his entourage finally arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion. The subordinates guarding the door saw that the three of them were dressed plainly and ordinary, and their faces were full of dust and dust, and they were very disdainful.
Yao Yun ignored it, and still smiled and pulled the gatekeeper to stuff him with ten pieces of money, just begging him to convey the words "Liangzhou Yao" to the old lady of Zhenguo. However, how could the old lady of the dignified town and the state mansion say that she would see it when she saw it, and the man who guarded the door received the money but did nothing, and tried to drive them away.
Autumn is getting colder, she is dressed thin and plain, and she endures the cold wind every day and stays outside the door of the mansion to see the old lady.
Ten days later, the back door of the Zhenguo Mansion was slightly open, and finally someone greeted the three of them inside.
Yao Mao and Yao Wei were young, and they couldn't help but look up frequently, looking at the scattered pavilions, small bridges and flowing water in the distance, looking at the leafy rockery bonsai on both sides of the cloister, and the decorative murals inlaid with gold and silver, they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, and they were curious and whispered from time to time, and they were happy.
Although Yao Yun used to often go in and out of the high-ranking families in Liangzhou to paint for the ladies, he was still very surprised to see the exquisite luxury in the Zhenguo Mansion.
Wai Yuan.
In the white jade-colored porcelain ash cup, the sandalwood cigarette ash kept burning out and spilling, one after another, but unfortunately there was still silence in the room.
The old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, Zhou, is over sixty years old, with a generous face, and the white hair on her temples is faintly arrogant, but because of proper maintenance, her complexion and spirit are very good. At this time, her eyebrows and eyes frowned slightly, one hand repeatedly and gently tapped the wooden tea table on the side, and the other hand grabbed a letter, and raised her eyes several times to look at the person in front of her who was humbly bowing her head, with an unknown expression.
She was thoughtful and wavering, if she took in the three of them, she didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse in the future. If it is used correctly, the Zhenguo Mansion may be able to rise to prominence and become a great minister; If it is used incorrectly, it is very likely to be the great crime of exterminating the Nine Clans.
Yao Yun kept her head down, feeling that her neck was about to be crushed, but she still didn't wait for the old lady's response.
After a long time, she said worriedly: "Old lady, the only thing that couldn't be relieved before my aunt died was the young brother and sister. My aunt remembers your generosity and kindness, and asks you to take in your brother and sister, so that they can have a place to live. ”
The old lady suddenly asked, "You call Mrs. Yao your aunt?" ”
Yao Yun said truthfully: "The little girl was picked up by my aunt from the deep mountains and mountains, and she has no blood relationship with my aunt. If the old lady thinks it is inappropriate, the little girl will leave the house as soon as possible, and please ask the old lady for the sake of the young and weak sister and brother......
The old lady waved her hand and interrupted her words solemnly: "That's it, can't this big Zhenguo Mansion still support a delicate little lady like you?" Yao Niangzi has helped the old body many times in the past, and the old body has always been grateful for her goodness. From today onwards, the three of you will be distant relatives of the Lingyang Zhou family's big house, and from now on, you will be the cousin and cousin of the Zhenguo Mansion from now on. ”
Yao Yun was relieved and hurriedly saluted and thanked him.
The old lady stared at the back of the three of them leaving, and her gaze became deeper and deeper. She had just taken a closer look at her eyebrows, and those sparkling, charming brown eyes really looked a little like that person.
She ordered Liu's mother to burn the crumpled letter, and carefully put away a small silver bracelet in the letter.
Yao Yun and the three were placed in a remote and deserted courtyard to the west. The plaque on the door of the small courtyard is crooked and crumbling, full of heavy dust, and the three big characters of "Hidden Moon Pavilion" are scrawled on it. Although it is a small courtyard that has been abandoned for a long time, it is already spacious and elegant compared to their wooden house in the remote countryside of Liangzhou.
