6. Gentleness and carefulness
Cheng Yiwan was a little unclear So, what he said was not matched in the preface and afterword, but Pei Shangyu was pillow on her shoulder, it was a rare peace of mind, in the dream was a field of flowers, she was holding him, he wanted to reach out to touch it, and the field of flowers was like a glass mirror, fragmented.
Woke up from the dream, Pei Shangyu opened his eyes, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and then found that he was lying on the bed, he turned his head, but he didn't see anything, the position next to him was already cold, his heart sank, and he hurriedly got up.
"Floot!"
shouted and no one responded, Pei Shangyu was even more uneasy, he got up and got out of bed, and as soon as he put on his shoes, he saw Cheng Yiwan who pushed the door in, her foot injury was not healed, and she was walking with a little limp.
Seeing Pei Shangyu, she tilted her head and asked, "Where are you going, my lord?" ”
Pei Shangyu's movements in her hands paused, sat up straight, and her uneasy heart was instantly soothed at the moment when her figure appeared: "Where did you go?" ”
He asked in a cold voice, and Cheng Yiwan rarely smiled at him: "My lord, is this a nightmare?" ”
Looking at the smile on the corner of her lips, Pei Shangyu was stunned for a moment, turned his head in a rare panic, and looked away from her: "No." ”
"The concubine saw that the adults were not sleeping well at night, so she asked Piao Yu to boil a bowl of soothing soup."
Cheng Yiwan walked to the side of the bed with the table, Piao Fu followed, the soup bowl on the tray was still steaming, Cheng Yiwan reached out and blew it: "Concubine feed the adult?" ”
She smiled lightly, and between her white and tender fingers was the porcelain spoon that was whiter than her, and he raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes burning, as if he couldn't see through her.
"Ah Wan, you are smiling at me, do you want me to let you go?"
Pei Shangyu stretched out his hand to hold her wrist, and some of the soothing soup in the soup bowl spilled out, Cheng Yiwan was a little surprised, and then shook his head: "No, the concubine thought about it today, and it is also good to be with adults, besides, the concubine is also your person now." ”
The girl's voice was gentle and gentle, like a piece of good glutinous rice cake, he grabbed her hand like that, as if he didn't expect Cheng Yihui to say this, after a while, Pei Shangyu lowered his head and drank the soothing soup in her hand: "What Ah Wan said, it's best to tell the truth." ”
She was silent, spoonful after spoonful of soothing soup into his mouth, after drinking, he also wiped the decoction at the corner of his mouth with the handkerchief in his hand, the two were like husband and wife, he took her into his arms, blew out the candles, and closed the door for them.
In the early morning of the next day, Pei Shangyu still had official business to deal with, so he got up very early, and when Cheng Yi woke up at night, the room was already full of all kinds of things for family use, and the festive red color reflected the whole room so brightly.
Seeing her wake up, Piao Xi helped her out of bed, and her tone was also difficult to hide her joy: "When I got up in the morning, the adults said that the girl didn't rest well last night, so let the slaves and maids not disturb the girl." ”
"Oh, I forgot, the lord said, I will call the girl Mrs. in the future, these are all the makeup that the adults add to the girl, the slave will show you?"
After finishing speaking, she motioned to a few little maids to open the boxes one by one, which were full of all kinds of treasures, Pei Shangyu has been an official for many years, and he doesn't know how many gifts he sends every month, plus he also has private property, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in the Southern Dynasty.
Piao Xu looked at Cheng Yiwan's stunned expression, and said with a smile: "Madam, how much do you care about you, this favor is unique." ”
They all followed Pei Shangyu from the capital, when Pei Shangyu was in the capital, he was simply a living Yama king-like existence, except for the lord of Yongjia, no one dared to make up for him, even if there were some officials who sent him concubines in order to please Pei Shangyu.
He won't accept it, it can be said that the backyard is clean, Cheng Yiwan is the only woman he has so far, and they look at Pei Shangyu's attitude towards her, this grace, even if an adult wants to marry a wife in the future, the more the wife will be late.
Cheng Yiwan listened to their words, came back to her senses, smiled, and then bent down and picked up a string of coral beads, yes, if she hadn't been a concubine for Pei Shangyu, her father would not have been rescued, and she wouldn't have been able to get so many treasures, so what was there to be dissatisfied with.
Her eyes swept over the boxes, but what she wanted was not to be imprisoned in a back house, to be a canary in a cage, waiting for her master to pamper her every day.
The slender fingers gradually closed the string of coral beads, she never wanted to be anyone's canary, if she wanted Pei Shangyu to take the initiative to let go, she could only let him let down his guard first, and slowly figured it out, she believed that one day, Pei Shangyu would be tired of the day.
That's why she was gentle and cautious yesterday and lowered Pei Shangyu's vigilance, after all, the tiger has to be touched by the hair.
"Like this string of beads?"
Pei Shangyu's voice came from beside him, he reached out and took the coral beads in her hand, frowned, and said, "How dare you send such a defective product to Madame?" ”
The coral beads were thrown to the door by him, and several people knelt down in a panic, Cheng Yiwan showed a smile and took his hand: "The beads are in good condition, don't be angry." ”
Her attitude changed quickly, and her eyes looking at him were also full of softness, and Pei Shangyu held her hand back: "Ah Wan, who is in her true appearance, should be matched with the best thing in the world." ”
"The concubine is just the outer room of the adult, wouldn't it be good for you to let the subordinates call the concubine?"
Cheng Yiwan lowered her head, there was only a cold light in her eyes, and she brought the topic over, she is not a prince and noble, and now she is in the name of Pei Shangyu's outer room, and she wants the best thing in the world.
She has learned from a young age that everything has a price.
Pei Shangyu bent down and picked her up and said: "Let you be the outer room because the undercurrent of the Prime Minister's Mansion is turbulent, and you are not suitable to stay there, when the time is right, the Prime Minister will take you back." ”
After putting the person on the bed, Pei Shangyu reached out and held her ankle, took apart the gauze and looked at the scars on her feet: "Ah Wan, if you are obedient, and you have promised that you will protect the glory of your Cheng family, so whether you are pretending to be or sincere, you had better hide your thoughts, and don't let your appearance find out." ”
His hand tightened, and when he raised his head to look at her, his eyes were dim, and Cheng Yiwan nodded with a smile: "My lord is here again, didn't the concubine say it yesterday?" I'll take good care of my lords. ”
"Really? In the afternoon, the bride will come to send the wedding dress, and Ah Wan will wear it to see the appearance, how about it? ”
Pei Shangyu held the jade handle in her hand to give her medicine, and Cheng Yiwan was shy: "A-Niang said that men and women can't meet before they get married, and they naturally have to wait for the candle night in the cave room to show it to adults." ”
"Benxiang has never followed this rule."
The man lowered his head, his fingerbones rubbed the wound on her foot, Cheng Yiwan bent forward, hooked the corner of his clothes and said, "Then for the sake of the concubine, can the adults abide by the rules this time?" ”
"The concubine doesn't want her marriage with an adult to be unsatisfactory in the future."
The girl's family has a concubine, and her tone is very cautious, but there is a coquettishness that belongs to her daughter's family, and he smiled with a smile: "Do you want to go back to Cheng's house?" ”。
"It's just that I want to go back and get married, and the concubine wants to stay with my father and mother for a few more days, is it okay?"
