113 My Cousin Is Here [Second Shift]
、、、、、、、、、、 When the sun was setting in the west, Shuangzhicai and Shi Tuo left the study, and the sky was dyed with a beautiful glow, and she took his arm and strolled down the path back to the upper room. Those busy maids all smiled at the happiness that their lord couldn't hide.
Such a general's mansion is very harmonious and beautiful.
Back in the upper room, Shuangzhi was very attentive to Shi Guang's clothes, "I will serve you to wash your hair." ”
"Huh?" Shi Tuo took off his coat and only wore a single coat, the smell of summer became stronger and stronger, Shi Tuo was easy to sweat, and he liked to wear only a single coat when he returned to the house.
"I've thought about it, I don't let Yahuan help you wash your hair, every time you have to do it yourself, I really feel a little guilty, in order to prevent you from getting angry one day, I will change my inertia in the future and serve you well." Shuangzhi sat him down, put down his black thick hair, picked up the comb and combed it a little awkwardly.
Shi Tuo laughed, turned around and reached out to pinch her small nose, "Can you still change your inertia?" ”
Shuangzhi pulled down his hand, "Aren't people afraid that you will get tired of it?" ”
Shi Tuo clenched her hand, "No, Shuangzhi, I won't get tired of it." ”
Shuangzhi smiled brightly, "Then you go wash it yourself!" ”
"That's not going to work, you'll have to wash my hair for me in the future, for the rest of your life." Shi Tuo pulled her past and walked behind the screen, the maids had already prepared the bath water, and they didn't dare to continue to disturb them in the house.
Shuangzhi shouted, "You just said you wouldn't get tired of it, I don't want it." ”
Where would Shi Tuo let her go, the two played and took a bath, and in the end, Shi Tuo washed her hair for Shuangzhi, who did not move after taking a bath, and personally dried her hair.
"Shi Tuo, your hair is still wet, I'll help you dry it." Shuangzhi, who had planned to nest in his arms and enjoy his service, saw that Shi Tuo's wet hair was still dripping, and finally found that he seemed to be a little unvirtuous, so he got up and took a clean silk towel and wiped his hair.
Shi Tuo smiled and let her move awkwardly to dry his hair, and after a moment of "double to ......" he called in a low voice.
"Huh?" Shuangzhi focused on the work in his hand and answered softly.
"Is Qin Xuan here today?" He asked.
After a pause, he walked up to him and sat on his lap, "You know? ”
Shi Tuo replied and hugged her tightly, "What did he say?" ”
"I want to catch up with you." Shuangzhi ran his fingers at his black hair, this man didn't know what would happen if he cut his hair short? Is it as wild and cold as it is now?
Shi Tuo's face was calm, and he shouted, "You give me a little more serious." ”
Shuangzhi flattened his mouth, and his slender fingers poked at his strong chest, "People are willing to marry your sister, even if you are not Changsi Shaoqing, it doesn't matter, with such deep affection, we have all become villains with bad people." ”
Shi Tuo frowned, "That's what he said. ”
Shuangzhi was silent, looking at the already inky sky outside, she suddenly remembered that day in Pujing City, when the sky was very blue and the clouds were very white, there was a man who always frowned and looked impatient when he saw her, and said to her with a red face that he really wanted to marry her.
The memories that she once thought would be engraved in her heart forever are so far away and vague when she thinks about it now.
Forget, sure enough, is the ability of time.
There was a pain in his waist, and he came back to his senses, seeing Shi Tuo's somewhat panicked eyes, his heart hurt slightly, he was able to let go of Qin Xuan so decisively because he didn't love him enough, if she asked her if she was willing to let go of Shi Tuo, she would definitely not want to let go of everything she wouldn't let go.
"Shi Tuo, Qin Xuan will marry whoever he likes, it has nothing to do with us, I just want you and the general's mansion to be safe and sound, give birth to a few radish heads in the future, and live a stable life, I don't care about the rest." Shuangzhi hugged him tightly and wanted to pass on the love in his heart to him.
Shi Tuo's tense body finally relaxed, and he took a deep breath of the fragrance that belonged to her, "Hmm." ”
……
In the following days, Shi Xianhui went out more frequently, but every day she went out with a smile on her face and full of anticipation, but when she came back, she was full of frustration and disappointment.
Every time Shuangzhi went to the upper room to say goodbye, he would notice that Xianhui's mood was becoming more and more depressed, and there was rarely a smile on his face, even if he didn't even talk much.
Is Qin Xuan avoiding Xianhui? Is he really unwilling to see Xianhui again because of his words?
came out of the upper room, and not long after walking, Shuangzhi heard someone calling her from behind, it was Xianhui.
"Sister-in-law, can you help me, I want to see him, I really want to see him." Xianhui choked, clutching her arms and pleading.
Shuangzhi shook his head, "I'm sorry, second girl, I can't help you, you can't see him, how can I see him?" ”
"As long as you say a word, he will meet you, I beg you, sister-in-law." Xian Hui's eyes were red, and she begged bitterly.
Shuangzhi couldn't soften her heart, she avoided Xianhui's hand, "I'm sorry, second girl, I still have to go back to send things to your stewards." ”
After speaking, Shuangzhi turned to leave, ignoring Shi Xianhui's pleading.
It wasn't until she couldn't hear Shi Xianhui's voice that Rong Lan sighed, "These two girls also have to inch in." ”
Shuangzhi smiled, "She's just in love with the wrong person." ”
"If Duke Qin hadn't done that kind of thing at the beginning, it wouldn't be like this now." Rong Lan is the most aware of the past between Shuangzhi and Qin Xuan, and now seeing Qin Gong so infatuated, she also feels pity in her heart.
"If there is no if, maybe even if there was no Qiao'er, I would not have married him." Shuangzhi glanced at Rong Lan and said, "Don't mention these things again in the future." ”
Rong Lan responded, "The slave remembers." ”
Shuangzhi returned to the upper room, and didn't see much of those stewards to listen to the party, and after arranging this month's affairs, Shuangzhi was already a little tired.
Not long after, Yahuan came to the front yard to spread the word, saying that the wife of the Yu family was here.
Shuangzhi originally wanted to close his eyes and sleep for a while, but when he heard Yahuan's words, he opened his eyes suddenly, the Yu family?
"Cotton Tree, go and talk to the master." Shuangzhi explained, and his footsteps had already taken a step towards the front yard.
Madame Yu looked to be less than forty years old, well-maintained, slightly rich, fair-skinned and ruddy, a kind-looking person, and with Madame Yu came a richly dressed girl, her youngest daughter, whose name was Ximeng, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old who was soft and elegant, and had a good appearance.
As soon as Shuangzhi appeared outside the hall, the Yu clan immediately stood up and gave Shuangzhi a blessing with a smile, "Meet Mrs. Jun." ”
"Aunt Cousin, aren't you tormenting me?" Shuangzhi guessed that this was Yu's, and turned sideways without receiving a salute from her.
"How come, you are the county lady, we should give you a salute." Yu squinted his eyes and looked at Shuangzhi, well, Shi Tuo still has a good eye, and he married such a lady with an elegant temperament.
"Lady of the County." Yu Ximeng also gave Shuangzhi a salute, her expression a little shy.
Shuangzhi smiled and said, "Miss Yu has outstanding appearance, and she is very similar to her cousin." ”
Yu smiled, "Mrs. Jun praised it." ”
"Cousin, please sit down quickly, and the maids don't hurry up to serve tea." Shuangzhi urged with a smile, and his eyes swept over the man behind Yu.
Yu Shi held Shuangzhi's hand in one hand, and seemed to be very friendly and enthusiastic, "I, I thought I should visit Pujing City before, if this relative has not been in touch for a long time, the feelings will be unfamiliar, I heard that you all came to Jingzhao, ouch, that is really a great joy, and we will have to go well again in the future." ”
Shuangzhi smiled gently, "Who said it wasn't, I also heard that Jingzhao has a cousin aunt and you, who should have been our juniors to greet you, but we always stumbled over things, and it became our no." ”
"Don't say that, you and Tuo'er are both busy people, one has to be busy every day, and the other has to be busy with the general's mansion, my cousin can understand, it's good to have a heart." When the word "entering the palace" was mentioned, envy and awe appeared in Yu's eyes, ordinary people did not say that they were entering the palace, even when they mentioned the word "palace", they all felt that it was an offense, and the solemn and sacred palace was mysterious in the hearts of ordinary surnames.
Shuangzhi wanted Yu to sit on the top, but Yu pushed and sat down at the bottom.
"Cousin, please sit down and talk." Shuangzhi Duanya smiled, looking at Yu Ximeng, who was a little overwhelmed, and the man who was smiling calmly on the side, and felt in his heart, who is this man? It shouldn't be Yu's son, otherwise he would have been the first person Yu introduced just now.
Seeing that Shuangzhi was looking at the man, Yu explained with a smile, "Yo, look at me, I forgot to introduce it, Mrs. Jun, this is the son of a distant relative of mine, who has just arrived in Jingzhao, and now he is on an errand in our Yu family, and he knew that we were coming to the General's Mansion, so he personally sent us over, and he is a filial person." ”
"Under Zhao Shaofei, meet Mrs. Jun." As soon as Yu finished speaking, the man took two steps forward, stood in his proper position, and saluted Shuangzhi.
"Zhao Gong is exempt." Shuangzhi said with a smile, his eyes were shining, what kind of errand did this Zhao Shaofei do in the Yu family, seeing that he was ambitious and arrogant in his eyes, it didn't look like he would be subservient.
"Parsley, hurry up and clean the West Wing." Shuangzhi made a look and let Xiangqin come over, and explained, she didn't know that the Yu family would bring Zhao Shaofei over, but she prepared a wing room in the inner courtyard, and generally if there were male guests at home, they all lived in the west wing, which was a long distance from the inner courtyard, but there were no guests living in it for a long time, and the cleaning was also a little sparse.
Parsley nodded and stepped back silently.
Zhao Shaofei is a very handsome young man, and he seems to be a person who knows etiquette, but Shuangzhi doesn't like the sharpness in his eyes very much, and it's too forceful.
"My nephew, is really a caring person, I have always wanted to make a career in Jingzhao, but no one has given me a ride, take refuge in our Yu family, although our lord has the imperial court, but he is a person who can't say anything, I just thought, can I ask the county lady to help." Yu glanced at Zhao Shaofei and said to Shuangzhi with a smile.
Zhao Shaofei smiled lightly, sat aside, and looked ahead without squinting.
Shuangzhi smiled, "Oh? I don't know what Zhao Gongyi is in? ”
"Shaofei has liked to work with an axe since he was a child, and if he can go to the barracks to be an errand boy, it will naturally be the best." Yu didn't wait for Zhao Shaofei to answer by himself, so he said to Shuangzhi.
Shuangzhi's eyebrows relaxed, I don't know if it was her illusion, she always felt that Yu's tone was gritting her teeth when she mentioned Zhao Shaofei.
"I have to ask my husband about this, my cousin can rest assured." Shuangzhi saw that Zhao Shaofei's eyebrows were lightly raised, and he seemed to disagree with Yu's words.
"Then thank you, Mrs. County." Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his eyes swept coldly over Zhao Shaofei.
Shuangzhi's eyes fell on Yu Ximeng, this girl was unusually quiet, and her eyes would look at Zhao Shaofei as if she were nothing, and there was a lonely look in her eyes.
"Cousin, I don't know if my cousin is married? Such a peugeot little girl, I'm afraid that the threshold of the family will be flattened by the matchmaker. Shuangzhi asked with a smile.
Yu covered his mouth and smiled, "Mrs. Jun, you are lifted, this child is really a headache, and I haven't found a satisfactory one yet, if only every woman was as lucky as Madame you." ”
"Mother!" Yu Ximeng frowned lightly and screamed in a low voice, that appearance was really touching and charming.
Yu smiled but said nothing.
Shuangzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his gaze to the outside of the hall, and stood up, "Erniang, you are here." ”
The old lady walked in with Su Yinxue's support, straightened her waist, walked in with arrogance in her eyes, just nodded lightly to Shuangzhi, and sat down at the top, and didn't speak first, she just wanted to wait for the Yu family to salute him first, now it is different from the past, she is now the old lady of the General's Mansion, no longer a slave, and the Yu family is just a seven petty officials, so she has to curry favor in front of her.
Shuangzhi was a little embarrassed, this old lady's posture was obvious, and she really had a bullying posture.
"Why don't you hurry up and serve tea to the old lady." The maid ring in the hall seemed to be shocked by the old lady's posture, and forgot to serve tea for a while.
The old lady glanced at those maids, "I didn't wake up, teach people jokes." ”
Yu sneered, his eyes full of irony, "How can everyone who is a slave be eye-catching, if everyone climbs on the master's bed, how can this master bear it." ”
The old lady's face turned pale, and she looked at Yu Shi with wide eyes, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Yu snorted, disdained to talk to her, stood up and said to Shuangzhi, "Mrs. Jun, Ximeng hasn't seen his cousin yet, why don't we go now?" ”
Shuangzhi was embarrassed to look at the old lady, Yu has never looked down on the old lady, but she is still a daughter-in-law, and she can't really just not give face, "Erniang, why don't we go to the house and talk?" ”
The old lady slapped the table hard, shaking the teacups on the table to the ground, "Hmph, isn't it just a small family, and you dare to play prestige in the General's Mansion, and you will be embarrassed." ”
Yu smiled and said, "Whether it is a small family or a small family, it is a serious family after all, not from a slave background, and it is even more intolerable for a presumptuous slave in the family to become the master." ”
For Mrs. Shi took the opportunity to take the throne back then, Yu's heart was indeed unfair, she once also admired Shi Jian, but at the beginning Shi Jian's heart belonged, she knew that she was not as good as that person, so she didn't dare to show her mentality, and later Shi Jian married Lin Wanniang, she knew better that she and Wanniang could not be compared, how did she know that later this cheap slave gained power, her heart was so unbalanced, so she also broke off contact with the Shi family, if it wasn't for the old housekeeper who met Shi Jian on the street, she didn't know that the Shi family is so beautiful now.
Old Madam Shi's face turned blue and white for a while, shook her hands angrily, and left the hall.
