The time he spent in Xue Yuan was the best time he lived. There is no need to look at the face of the master's family, there is no need to be scolded, the young master's mother looks pleasant, Xue Yuan still has the wealth of the sky, he wants to stay here.

Xue Yuxiao said coldly, and Huanzhu didn't dare to stay any longer, so the young man knelt down and bowed, and left quietly.

The candle was mostly burned dry.

Xue Yuxiao took off his embroidered shoes, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at the cracks on the ground: "Did you already know?" ”

Pei Yuxue: "What do you know?" ”

Xue Yuxiao is good-tempered, but if it doesn't prove that she is not fierce at all. She glared at Pei Yuxue, and said expressionlessly: "Your heart is more than dry, don't pretend to be stupid with me." ”

Pei Yuxue sighed again, and had no choice but to say: "It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages." ”

"You're in charge." Xue Yuxiao complained, "What if he makes a bow one day, it's very dangerous?" ”

Pei Yuxue looked at her with that incomprehensible look.

Xue Yuxiao pinched her eyebrows - she was dizzy, she was still wary of men in this world, as if men should be guarding against her.

She corrected her worldview, looked at Pei Yuxue's light face, with a faceless and emotionless, and said with a straight look: "I don't want to use him, you come." ”

Anyway, Pei Yuxue didn't have any ill feelings towards her.

The personal service in the inner courtyard can only choose men, and the process of bathing and washing is very cumbersome, with her status, without four or five people to accompany her, Uncle Lin has to nag the men in the inner courtyard that it is useless, not to mention that she wants to wash herself, it is simply impossible.

Pei Yuxue was silent for a long time, and just as she was about to refuse, she was swept back and forth by her cold gaze.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and the atmosphere became a little deadlocked.

Xue Yuxiao didn't get angry for more than a minute, she immediately felt that she was angry, and she obviously said that she would keep a distance from Pei Yuxue, and she was embarrassed by others at this time...... Isn't it just a group of men who are worried about climbing into bed? She is the soul of a new era, open, free and independent, and she is still afraid of this?

Or...... Gritted your teeth and endured it?

Xue Yuxiao was pondering, when most of the candle flame in front of him was blocked, and a cold cold air surrounded him.

Early summer nights aren't that hot. But when this cool air surrounds me, it is still refreshing. Xue Yuxiao's thoughts froze in her mind, and she looked at Pei Lang's plain clothes and a pair of well-proportioned, slender hands.

His hand brushed over her richly embroidered ribbon.

Xue Yuxiao's shallow breathing, and the cool cold air poured into his lungs. Her eyes moved from the back of her hand and looked at Pei Yuxue's face with her eyes down.

The heroine's vision is really good.

What's wrong with my eye addiction, I still help you raise a man.

Xue Yuxiao looked at him silently and didn't make a sound. The two did not look at each other, he went around her waist, untied the ribbon, and then pulled up the corners of his coat, and knelt in front of her bright pomegranate dress, his slender, fair, cold hands holding her ankles.

Xue Yuxiao had already adapted to the "service" of this world.

But his hands didn't seem to be the same, Xue Yuxiao even subconsciously had the idea of dodging, she felt that Pei Yuxue, a bookish and high-minded gentleman, should not kneel on the ground to undress and take off her socks.

There was no resentment on his face, and he was still calm. This silence seemed to be engraved in his bones as a way for him to survive in the world.

The blood-colored skirt untied in his hand.

There was a light knock outside the screen, and then someone moved the hot water into the compartment, and Uncle Lin reminded: "Young master, the water is boiled, let Pei Langjun wait for you to bathe and sleep." ”

Uncle Lin's shadow was reflected on the door.

Pei Yuxue raised her head, just as Xue Yuxiao lowered her eyes to look at him.

Pei Yuxue: "You ......"

Xue Yuxiao: "I ......"

The words of the two collided.

Xue Yuxiao paused, coughed lightly, and was a little embarrassed: "You say it first." ”

Pei Yuxue said: "Please say Sanniang first." ”

Xue Yuxiao said at this time: "I don't seem to be very suitable for you to help me, or, well, I ...... myself"

Without waiting for Pei Yuxue to answer, Uncle Lin said again: "Young master, the West Courtyard said that Pei Langjun has few people here, I'm afraid I can't call it, so Qingzhu Gongzi sent a few well-behaved people to help." ”

Xue Yuxiao: "...... No need, send it back! ”

How can he help, it's almost the same as competing for favor and adding chaos.

……

Quiet night.

Xue Yuxiao crouched on the edge of the tub, and the rising thick mist blocked everything tightly. She was a little embarrassed at first, but when she realized that she couldn't see anything, her mood suddenly brightened, and that bit of embarrassment dissipated.

The hot water soaked makes people drowsy.

Xue Yuxiao's long hair fell out like flowing ink on his shoulders, slicing wet and snaking across his back.

Pei Yuxue helped her wash her hair—and only washed her hair. He wet the cuffs, changed into a coat, put Xue Yuxiao's changed clothes, cloth towels, and grease used to maintain her hair in her hand, lit a lamp himself, and read the soap recipe that Xue Yuxiao dictated to him.

This is what Xue Yuxiao didn't have time to tell him.

In the original text, part of the space is about Pei Yuxue's ability in this regard, no matter what it is, as long as the heroine dictates the manufacturing method to him, it will not take more than three months at most, and he will definitely be able to produce results.

However, when Pei Yuxue helped the heroine, she helped with love. Xue Yuxiao didn't know whether his words would work or not, so he just tried it casually: "If you're interested, can you help me make it?" Flower petal spices can be added to the recipe...... This one works better than soap. ”

Pei Yuxue: "Help you?" ”

Xue Yuxiao silently retracted back, thinking that he was unwilling, so he closed his eyes and buried his head still: "Forget it, it's troublesome, you better rest, I'm idle to study by myself." ”

On the tray next to it is a soap horn dough made of mashed natural honey locust and mixed with precious spices. The atmosphere of the Qi Dynasty was like this, regardless of gender, they all paid special attention to cleanliness, and the fragrance of walking, sitting and lying was wafting, so the demand for spices in the noble house of the eunuchs was very large.

Because women are superior to men, women's incense is also more rich and sweet, and they can often identify the gender of the other person through the fragrance on their body. Even if it is through a curtain, a screen, or a door, as long as the wind passes through, there is a beautiful talk about smelling the fragrance and knowing people.

In the hot mist, Pei Yuxue looked at her hazy cheeks. Xue Yuxiao's skin was very white, and a bright, smart, and vibrant powder evaporated from the hot water, spreading between her wet knuckles.

He just wanted to talk to her, but when he saw this, he quickly looked away, and only looked at the formula in his hand by the light seriously. He thought for a moment and said, "You don't really have to say what you ask me to do, or what I want me to do for you." ”

Pei Yuxue memorized the formula, folded the paper, and said, "You can use me as a strategist under your command, as a useful item, as long as you don't intentionally humiliate, this is already good." ”

Xue Yuxiao squinted his eyes, forced his sleepiness, and asked him, "Then what do you think is humiliation?" ”

Before Pei Yanxue could answer, she continued: "For example, I think you are in good shape, standing like a pine and cypress, and moving like a spring willow. Is this humiliating to you? For example, I think your waist is very thin, which reminds me of ...... Huan Huan is a ...... around the waist of Chu Palace"

This is a poem in praise of a woman, and it is not harmonious to use it on him.

There was a deep tiredness in her voice. Pei Yuxue guessed that she was about to fall asleep, but he still didn't look up, he shouldn't have looked ...... Even if he was infinitely curious about Xue Sanniang.

"It's not. It's just ...... You didn't memorize the poem well. ”

Xue Yuxiao smiled sullenly, didn't squeak for a long time, and just when Pei Yuxue thought she was asleep, she rubbed her face vigorously and came to her senses, and wiped herself with the cloth towel on the shelf.

After realizing that it was safe to be a woman in this world, Xue Yuxiao also threw away some unnecessary minds and shyness. She put on a clean thin shirt with her back to Pei Yuxue and walked back barefoot.

Pei Yuxue heard the sound of dripping water, and said lightly: "Carefully slide your feet-"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Xue Yuxiao take three steps and two steps through the compartment, walk over and fall on the bed, and slammed it. Then she buried her head like a caterpillar in the new thin quilt.

…… The good news is that it didn't slip.

The bad news is that you fall asleep at a young age.

Chapter 8

The news of the meeting soon reached the ears of other noble families.

In the deer park of the Wang family, Wang Xiu, the current Fengge Shangshu, stood under the corridor, and heard several subordinate officials talking about the "movement of the opposite way", so he beckoned a few people to come over.

Several people wore civilian clothes and saluted Wang Xiu: "Prime Minister." ”

Although the current emperor has abolished the official name of "Prime Minister", the duties and status of Fengge Shangshu are no different from those of Prime Minister, and he is the same as the head of the government and the opposition, and the head of a hundred officials, so many people are still called Prime Minister in private.

This is Lord Wang Xiuwang, who wrote "The Famous Chapter of Gold and Jade". She was over forty years old, wearing a high bun often combed by officials, wearing a crown made of pearl and jade, and asked with a smile: "Are you talking about what the daughter of the Xue family said in front of Cui Zhengyue?" ”

A few people: "Yes." Nowadays, many places are talking about her 'anti-Taoist movement'. ”

Wang Xiu bowed his head slightly: "I know." What do you guys think? ”

Several people looked at each other. In fact, they want to say that they are "amazing, and it is easy to be outstanding". But thinking of Wang Xiu's life for the youngest son of his family a few years ago, he personally went to Xue Mansion to divorce Xue Sikong, which caused many scholars to be very dissatisfied.

Langya Wang is a wealthy family, and the whole companion can talk to Prime Minister Wang Cheng about "the right family". There is only Xue Sikong's daughter-Xue Yuxiao, the third mother of the Xue family. But Xue Yuxiao's reputation is obvious to all, in order to prevent his youngest son from jumping into the brazier, Wang Xiu disregarded his face and dissolved the marriage contract that he had been married to him, and since then he has been in the same situation with Xue Sikong.

Thinking of this, a few people resignedly: "A family talk is nothing." ”

Wang Xiu shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about me, if you have something to say, don't hide it." ”

Only then did several subordinate officers cautiously express their praise.

Wang Xiu listened carefully for a long time, asked them to go down, and walked back to the council hall along the corridor, in front of her sister, who also served in the court.

Her second sister Wang Jie said: "Why is my sister more and more preoccupied, isn't this defense paper handed over to you by Cui Zhengyue good?" ”

Wang Xiu asked her, "Do you know who wrote this?" ”

Wang Jie was very excited: "No matter who it is, this person must have great talents, and his future achievements may not be lower than Ban Zhao and Cai Yan." ”

Comparing her to Ban Zhao, who wrote the Book of Han, and Cai Wenji, who is talented and heroic, it can be seen that Wang Jie admires this person very much.

But Cui Zhengyue deliberately did not write the author of this defense, and Wang Jie didn't know that the person she praised so much was almost the prospective daughter-in-law of their family.

Wang Xiu sighed and said, "This is written by the third mother of the Xue family." ”

Wang Jie's expression was stunned for two seconds, and then immediately changed, and suddenly got up: "How is this possible!" ”

Xue Sanniang...... She, she doesn't know anything at all, she doesn't know the scriptures!

Wang Xiu muttered, "Maybe I really read it wrong? …… She's just wild and uninhibited, a late bloomer...... No, even if that were the case, she wouldn't be a match for Heng'er. ”

Wang Jie immediately said, "Sister, don't hesitate. Even if Xue Yuxiao has amazing talent, is it fake that she beat the servants around her to death? Is it also fake that she included the actors of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion in the garden? Such a person is definitely not a good match for Heng'er. Just half a month ago, she forcibly married Pei's son-in-law! ”

It seems that Xue Yuxiao's "good name" has even been heard of by them.

Wang Xiu nodded, no longer talking about it, the two got up and left the open deer park on business, just after boarding the carriage, Wang Xiu sighed again, and said very regretfully: "If her behavior can be better, she is really the best daughter-in-law I expected." ”

Shortly after the two left, Xiao Langjun moved from behind the screen to the council chamber.

Dressed in a scarlet shirt, light as the clouds in the sky, he rolled up his cuffs and sorted the books and papers on the bookcase for his mother and aunt.

He was accompanied by several illiterate slaves. This is what the little boy often does, his hobby is very peculiar, as a son, he is not interested in his wife and daughter, he has never liked to read serious books that only those women read, but fortunately, Wang Cheng loves him very much, and lets him read in and out.

Wang Heng put the scroll away as usual, raised his hand to pick up a defense article from the case, and his fingertips were stained with Cui Zhengyue's private seal on it.
