One

The day of the concubine was finally set on the sixth day of the third month, when Qingluan and Yuan'er would salute at the same time and marry into Nanfu as concubines.

The changes in the house can be felt by anyone.

Servants and craftsmen walked through the courtyards, moving flowers and trees, renovating pavilions, and decorating new homes, all busy.

In contrast, Shen Qingluo, as the hostess, looked indifferent.

In the past few days, her appetite has become worse and worse, so much so that she vomits whatever she eats, and every day, she can only drink some soup and barely satisfy herself.

Xiao Rong said angrily: "What is my uncle busy with every day, and he doesn't come to see Miss?" I'm going to invite him! "Pull your legs and go out.

Shen Qingluo hurriedly said: "Don't go!" ”

Xiao Rong said indignantly: "You are pregnant with his child, but he doesn't care about it, and he only cares about marrying a newcomer, it's really unreasonable!" I'm going to tell him about your pregnancy! ”

Shen Qingluo had a wry smile on her face: "Even if he comes to see me once, what can he do?" His heart is no longer in me, and even if he comes, what good will it be? ”

Xiao Rong said distressedly: "You blindly forbear like this, it is your own body that suffers!" ”

Shen Qingluo said lightly: "It's okay. It's good to survive these few days. I know it in my heart, you don't have to worry. But there is something important that needs to be brought forward. ”

Xiao Rong asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Qingluo smiled slightly: "You'll find out later." ”

As he was talking, Steward Li came.

"Madam, the villain has already done what you ordered." Steward Li said respectfully.

"Good." Shen Qingluo smiled and said, "There is a housekeeper Lao Li." ”

With a smile on his face, Steward Li glanced at Xiao Rong: "Miss Xiao Rong grew up watching the villain, and it is a blessing for the villain to be able to handle the marriage for her." ”

Shen Qingluo took Xiao Rong's hand and said lovingly: "I originally planned to marry you and Xiao Wu on the sixth day of the first lunar month." Now, however, I can't wait. She sighed faintly: "You also know that the day of the master's concubine is also chosen on that day, and there must always be some avoidance, so I decided to advance your wedding date, and marry you out three days later, don't blame me for being in a hurry." ”

Xiao Rong cried: "For the sake of Xiao Rong like this, Xiao Rong is grateful. Thank you, Miss. ”

Shen Qingluo smiled: "Look at this girl, she cried with joy." ”

Steward Li smiled: "Congratulations to Miss Xiaorong." Xiao Wu is really a pretty good young man. ”

Shen Qingluo said: "Steward Li, I want to trouble you to preside over the wedding, Zhang Luo." ”

Steward Li nodded: "Madame, don't worry, everything has its own villain, and it will definitely be lively." ”

Shen Qingluo smiled and said: "Steward Li has always been thoughtful, I am naturally relieved, even I like to eat hawthorn, but there is no omission, I really want to thank you." ”

Steward Li smiled: "This, but the villain doesn't dare to be greedy." It was the girl who told the villain that it was during the pregnancy of the lady, and the taste changed greatly, and she liked to eat some hawthorn and longan appetizers, and asked the villain to select fresh fruits every day to supply. ”

Shen Qingluo's heart was shocked, and her words trembled a little: "Is this really what Yuan'er said?" ”

Steward Li smiled: "Yes." Miss Yuan'er is the most careful. ”

Shen Qingluo said lightly: "Yes, she is indeed attentive." ”

Shen Qingluo took a sip of tea to hide the panic in her heart.

Sure enough, it was her!

looked at Steward Li, and stopped talking. She really wanted to ask Nagumo about her behavior, but for some reason, she couldn't speak.

It must be a very funny thing for a wife to ask a subordinate about her husband's news.

There was a tingling in his heart, but his face said without a trace: "I heard that the newcomer's residence is in the West Garden?" ”

Steward Li said cautiously: "Yes. . . ”

"Oh, is it 'Tingyuan'?" Shen Qingluo asked through the diffuse fragrance of tea.

"It used to be, but now it's a different name." Steward Li stood solemnly, a little restrained.

"Changed your name?" Shen Qingluo smiled: "That's nature." I just don't know what has changed? ”

Steward Li hesitated: "It's called 'Phoenix Garden'." I heard that it was the fourth lady who got the name. ”

Qin Se is in the palace, and it is good to be quiet. The phoenix is flying, hand in hand.

The cup in Shen Qingluo's hand couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Xiao Rong said angrily: "It's too much to deceive people! Before you enter the door, you will be the first to swoop! A concubine, dare to take such a name! Where to put my young lady! She is a phoenix, so what is my young lady! ”

Shen Qingluo said lightly: "Sure enough, it's her style." It's a good name. ”

Xiao Rong stomped his feet angrily: "Miss! ”

Shen Qingluo said: "I don't have anything to do here, Steward Li, you can get busy." Three days later, don't forget to officiate at the wedding, and when the time comes, drink a few more glasses of wedding wine. ”

Steward Li replied repeatedly: "Yes." The villain retired. ”

Shen Qingluo looked at Steward Li's figure and sighed faintly.

Steward Li's voice faintly came from outside the door: "Miss Yuan, I congratulate you." ”

Yuan'er Gege smiled and said, "I also want Steward Li to take more care of it." ”

In an instant, Yuan'er had come to the door, holding a few clothes in her hands.

Seeing Shen Qingluo, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and she was replaced with a cautious look.

"Miss," she looked at Xiao Rong again, a little timidly.

Shen Qingluo didn't raise her eyebrows: "It's a good day in a few days, don't you rest in the room, waiting to be a newcomer, what are you doing here?" Didn't I say that you are not as good as you used to be, and you don't have to wait for me. ”

Yuan'er knelt on her knees: "Miss, you will always be Yuan'er's master, and Yuan'er will never forget your kindness no matter when." ”

Shen Qingluo said lightly: "Really? ”

Yuan'er said cautiously: "I heard that Sister Xiaorong is going to get married, Yuan'er specially made a few clothes to add makeup to Sister Xiaorong, and I hope that Sister Xiaorong will not give up." ”

Xiao Rong snorted lightly: "Xiao Rong's maidservant girl, how dare you work Aunt Yuan!" Forgive the small and blessed, and there is no blessing! ”

Yuan'er's face flushed: "How can you say that it is also a sister, my sister is a heart, and Sister Xiaorong really doesn't appreciate her face?" ”

Xiao Rong said coldly: "Since it is a sister, my sister's ability to seduce the master, why don't you teach my little sister?" You're hiding it so tightly! ”

Yuan'er's face was a little unbearable, she slowly stood up and put her clothes on the table next to her: "If my sister doesn't like it, throw it away." ”

Xiao Rong said angrily: "You betrayed Miss, you are extremely shameless!" Who scarces your stuff! With a wave of his hand, he smashed his clothes all over the floor.

Yuan'er lowered her eyebrows, squatted down, picked up the scattered clothes one by one, and said in a slow and long tone: "Yuan'er didn't betray Miss, it was my uncle who seduced me." On the second day after the young lady got married, Yuan'er was already her uncle's person. How dare we, as handmaidens, disobey our master's wishes? ”

Shen Qingluo was like being struck by lightning, and she looked at Yuan'er quietly. The corners of Yuan'er's mouth were a little sarcastic.

The day after I got married? At that time, Nagumo had not yet had a round house with him.

It turned out that under his nose, he had already hitched a ride with his maidservant.

Betrayal and deception, it turned out, began very early, from the beginning to the end, only hiding from oneself.

Shen Qingluo's head spun rapidly, and her words were a little hesitant: "So, you were unwell a few days ago, are you?" She didn't dare say it.

"Not bad." Yuan'er let out a long breath, and her face was a little gloomy: "A few days ago, I was pregnant with my uncle's child, but unfortunately I accidentally gave birth. ”

Xiao Rong's mouth opened wide and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Shen Qingluo looked at Yuan'er steadily, as if staring at a monster: "Are you here to show off?" ”

Yuan'er said in fear: "The slave doesn't dare." The slave maid is begging Miss, please raise your noble hand and let Yuan'er go, Yuan'er will definitely serve Miss well in the future, and never dare to have the slightest arrogance. ”

Shen Qingluo said lightly: "You have already transgressed!" No matter how favored you are, you are just a concubine, besides, to this day, whether this concubine can be done or not, it is still unknown, you get carried away, it is too early! ”

Yuan'er was silent for a moment and said: "Yuan'er has today, it's all given by Miss, and Yuan'er doesn't dare to forget her roots." If Miss refuses to forgive Yuan'er, Yuan'er will go back to her aunt, willing not to marry for the rest of her life, and serve Miss around. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Qingluo's mouth: "These cozy attitudes, put them away quickly, I can't afford it." Aren't you planning for today? It's just that you shouldn't go too far, you have to leave some leeway for yourself. ”

Yuan'er quickly glanced at Shen Qingluo, and then quickly lowered her head, her heart pounding: "What did she know?"

Shen Qingluo stood up elegantly and turned her back to her: "There are some things that I don't want to pursue anymore, but that doesn't mean I will forget." The love of our master and servant ends today. After that, you take your sunny path, and I take my single-plank bridge, and from then on they have nothing to do with each other, and they have nothing to do with each other. ”

Yuan'er was stunned and said, "Why did Miss say such heavy words? Kill the slaves! ”

Shen Qingluo said coldly: "What you have done yourself, you know it in your heart. In the future, you'd better keep to yourself, and if you have any more thoughts, don't blame me for not being emotional. Go ahead! ”

Yuan'er looked up at Shen Qingluo, and what she saw was a face as cold as ice, high and inviolable.

Her heart was sour, and a string of tears fell involuntarily. In all these years, her young lady had never said such a heavy word to her.

For a man, the love of master and servant for many years has turned into a cloud of smoke.

However, there was no turning back from the bow, and she could not turn back.

She wiped away her tears and slowly turned around.

She knew that since then, she and her young lady had become like fire and water, and could never go back to the past.

The only person who could connect them was the man named Nagumo.

Competing for favor is the most important thing for her in the future.

Sandwiched between Shen Qingluo's sisters, her position is extremely awkward.

She knows very well that Qingluan has incomparable beauty, Qingluo has the status of honor in the main room, only her, nothing. Now, Shen Qingluo, who has lost her backing, then, the only thing she can rely on to survive in the cracks is Nanyun's favor.

As an orphan girl, she has been displaced since she was a child, and she has endured all the hardships of the world, and finally met the man she likes, and she can have the opportunity to live a worry-free life, how can she miss it. She deeply understands that if she wants to survive, she must have a hard heart, even if she pays the price, she will not hesitate to do it, although she regrets losing Shen Qingluo's friendship.

"Miss," Xiao Rong looked at Yuan'er's back with disdain, and put on a dress for Shen Qingluo, "You don't deserve to be angry with her, your own body matters." ”

Shen Qingluo sighed lowly: "I'm not angry, I'm sad." You two, who have been by my side for many years, are like a pair of arms to me, and now she is doing such a thing, teaching me how not to feel heartache? ”

Xiao Rong said: "Yes, she is not angry!" ”

Shen Qingluo leaned lazily on the Xiangfei couch, and her slightly haggard face showed a painful expression. If you guess correctly, the last miscarriage was a trick made by Yuan'er. The people around you who get along day and night are really unguardable to prevent such a poisonous hand.

But why did she do it?

The only explanation is that she was jealous of love.

Later, Qingluan entered the door, and there was another woman in the family, and I don't know how many rights and wrongs will be born.

Xiao Rong said softly: "Miss, the cook made the flower dumplings you like to eat, and Qiuyue has already sent it, can you taste it?" Your body matters. ”

Shen Qingluo did not answer.

Transparent flower cakes?

The scene of tasting the flower cakes with Nagumo came to mind.

I am afraid that there will be no more days like this in the future.

The flower cake is still the same, but in the future, the people who accompanied him have changed their faces.

Joy is cold, and love is fleeting.

She closed her eyes, her brow furrowed, and she sighed lowly.

"Why don't you eat it hot?" A familiar voice rang in my ears.

Shen Qingluo opened her eyes suddenly.

"Husband?" She was a little surprised, a little surprised.

But in her heart, she clearly hated her joy.

Nanyun squatted down with a smile, holding the plate of transparent flower balls in his hand, gently picked one up, and put it next to Shen Qingluo's mouth: "Open your mouth!" ”

Shen Qingluo opened her mouth unconsciously, and a pair of eyes couldn't take her eyes off his face.

The sweet and soft flower dumplings melt in her mouth, just like her mood at the moment.

No matter how many grudges there are, with his arrival, they will come to naught.

"You're here?" She said lightly.

Nanyun handed the plate to Xiao Rong casually, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, I've been busy." ”

"It's really busy." Shen Qingluo lowered her head and noticed that his shoes were covered with dirt.

Presumably the soil of the "Phoenix Garden".

Nanyun took off his coat and instructed Xiao Rong: "Get some washing water." ”

Shen Qingluo took the clothes, smelled a smell of sweat, and frowned slightly: "I haven't changed my clothes for a few days?" ”

Nanyun smiled: "I lived in Xiaozhou Mountain for a few days, and I didn't have time to change my clothes. ”

Shen Qingluo was slightly stunned: "It turns out that you went to Xiaozhou Mountain?" ”

Xiao Rong quickly brought the washing water, and Nanyun said while washing his face: "I left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to tell you, so my wife was worried, it was mine." ”

Shen Qingluo smiled slightly, and her heart was inexplicably relieved.

"It rained for a few days a few days ago, and Li Tou, who was in charge of the Xiaozhoushan construction site, sent someone to tell me that the tomb being dug had flooded, and I was in a hurry, so I hurried to go." Nanyun Road.

"I see. Okay, okay? Shen Qingluo handed over the hand towel.

Nanyun smiled: "Fortunately, the weather is clear, and the water has been drained for a few days in a row. However, because of this, I woke up, and together with Li Tou, I redesigned the water outlet so as not to get water in the future. ”

Shen Qingluo said: "Father-in-law's blessed land, the heart should be." It is also a piece of filial piety for you. ”

Nanyun waved his hand at Xiao Rong. Xiao Rong smiled and stepped back.

Nanyun gently hugged Shen Qingluo, and her wet cheeks pressed against her face: "Don't think I have it?" ”

Shen Qingluo's face turned red, and she twisted her face and said, "Who misses you!" ”

Nanyun hugged her tightly and said with some emotion: "These days, I have snubbed you, don't blame me." ”

Shen Qingluo leaned on his shoulder and whispered: "I'm afraid that in the future, I will only see the newcomer laughing, and I won't hear the old person crying." ”

Nanyun looked at her face and said seriously: "Nanyun is grateful for Mrs. Kindness, grateful to Dade, and will never dare to abolish his wife because of a concubine, he will only respect Mrs. more." We are married husband and wife, can't you still trust me? ”

Shen Qingluo's fingers lightly brushed his lips, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Your words, can the concubine still believe it?" ”

Nanyun gently hugged her soft body, with an ambiguous smile on her lips, and said as she walked, "You might as well try it." ”

Shen Qingluo's body went weak and was thrown on the bed by him.

"The concubine has something to tell you·····" She hesitated a little, looking like she wanted to say something.

After Yuan'er's plot, she instinctively became wary of anyone. The less people know about pregnancy, the safer it is.

She was saddened to find that at some point, she had lost trust in her husband.

Nanyun smiled: "I'll talk about it later, now, the most important thing is this matter." With a finger pick, the strap around her waist had been loosened, and the movement was skillful and neat.

A thought quickly flashed through Shen Qingluo's mind: he must be so gentle with other women.

At this thought, there was a pain in my chest.
