Amma's eyebrows were locked, and she stood in the middle of the room, her hands in her cuffs and said, "Weiwei has been married for several years, when did she go back to the house alone?" must have quarreled with the fourteenth master, making trouble. E-Niang sat up, put a big pillow under her waist, leaned half-leaning, and said, "What is so unusual about the little two quarreling?" Ama cut and said, "Long Keduo's daughter wants to marry the Fourteenth Master as a side blessing, and the emperor personally instructed her to marry, how can Weiwei stand this anger?" Hey"

Eniang sneered and said, "Now you know that Weiwei is angry?" Why didn't you know I was angry? ”

Ama glanced at the kang and lowered his face and said, "What's so strange about a man with three wives and four concubines?" He paused, sat down along the side of the kang, and said, "Ming'er, I'll ask the fourteenth master what happened." Eniang stretched out her hand and tugged the gown on her shoulders for Amma, and said, "On the one hand, it is not strange to say that a man has three wives and four concubines, and on the other hand, he is worried about his son-in-law's concubine room. He added: "You must not meddle in this matter, and the affairs of their little couple should be resolved by themselves." You and I quarrel, have you ever seen me talk to you? Amma kicked off his shoes, burrowed into the bed, and glared, "When you Amma talks to me, can you let you know?" ”

One year, Wanyan Luocha met a geisha in the fireworks willow lane, the kind that sells his art but not his body, he wants to marry back, Eniang is so angry that he is half dead, and he unintentionally mentioned two sentences in the letter home, and before half a month, Wanyan Luocha was broken a rib in the alley. His eyes were black, and when he saw that it was his father-in-law, he made amends again and again, and he didn't dare to mention it to others, for fear of being laughed at.

Wanyan Luo Cha deeply understood the mood of his father-in-law at this time, he traced the past, came back to his senses and said: "Weiwei is kind and docile, she must be bullied by the concubine, I have to support her." E-Niang smiled, in her eyes, training a concubine is also a smooth thing in life, and there is no difficulty, so she said: "Don't worry, she has children and daughters, and everything should be figured out by herself." Besides, how does Fourteen treat her, we have all seen it all these years, what is there to worry about? ”

The two chattered until late at night, in late autumn and early winter, the leaves withered and withered, swirling and falling in the wind.

My large courtyard is exactly the same as it was when I was not out of the cabinet. The bed was soft, and I rolled from side to side in the bed, but I couldn't sleep. I wonder if Ah Xing has a full stomach, whether Hongming slept soundly, and I still think about Fourteen, I don't know what he is doing? Will it be like me, tossing and turning until dawn?

I can still make up for sleep during the day, but he can't, no matter how tired he is, he has to go to the court to do things to ask Kangxi for peace. When I thought that hundreds of people up and down the Fourteen Baylor Mansion were all supported by him alone, one was prosperous and one was lost, I couldn't help but be full of pity and tenderness for him. Sometimes, I really want to compromise completely, take a step back and open the sky, but the thought that he will lift the red hijab of other women, and will roll the sheets with other women, even if Fourteen really doesn't touch them, and only pretends to be intimate in front of others, my heart is very sour.

Obviously, I didn't sleep all night, but I got up early the next day and went into the compound to have dinner with my mother and sister-in-law. Xiaohai's daughter-in-law has no place to sit, so she has to stand aside the whole time and wait for us to finish eating before she can go back to the room to eat by herself. Xiao Hai didn't get a fame, and he found an idle man with no real power in the Ministry of Rites, but fortunately, he Ama is a senior official of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, and his father-in-law is a third-grade Beijing official of the Ministry of Industry, plus the eldest brother is Prince Yong's companion since childhood, and his brother-in-law is Fourteen Baylor, so although he doesn't have much ability, his colleagues don't dare to underestimate him, and they accommodate him in everything. He is also very comfortable, not motivated at all, and wanders around all day long, having fun and playing.

Xiaohai knew that I was in a bad mood, and changed his ways to make me happy. After finishing the meal, I went out of the big courtyard, and Xiaohai hid under the window of the hugging house and beckoned to me, and signaled me not to let my mother see it. I avoided the crowd, sneaked into the hug, and asked, "What are you doing mysteriously?" Xiaohai had a hippie smile, the same as when he was a child, and said, "Do you want to go to Yihong Mansion with me to play?" ”

Yihong Mansion is a famous brothel in the capital, I collapsed my face, turned around and left, and said, "I'll go tell Eniang." "E-Niang hates fireworks women the most in her life, it is said that there was once a geisha who almost abducted Amma, and every time she heard the word fireworks, she would hate her teeth itching. Xiao Hai also knew, so he hurriedly grabbed me and said hurriedly: "It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin." ”

I poked a finger on his forehead and said, "Little Sea Ghost Head, when will you be like an adult?" ”

Xiao Hai was not angry, but laughed loudly: "This is the girl I know." ”

I pouted, "When did I stop being a girl?" ”

Xiao Hai said in a deep voice, "You don't know, yesterday's family was late, and you laughed more ugly than crying." He patted me on the shoulder again and said, "Don't forget, we are twins of dragons and phoenixes, and no one in the world knows your joys, sorrows, and sorrows better than me." ”

He put on a serious face, I was not used to it, and said happily: "You are the most flamboyant." ”

Xiao Hai still kept a straight face, hesitated for a while, and then said, "There is something I don't know if I should tell you or not." ”

I didn't think it was right and said, "Say what you can say, and don't say what you can't say." Xiao Hai looked underground, and after a while, he said: "I have seen my brother-in-law in Yihong Mansion several times" My first reaction was, how could that be possible, Fourteen is so busy that he often talks back in the palace in the middle of the night, how can he have time to go to Yihong Mansion? Besides, if he is such a person, how can he hide it from me?

I laughed, "No way, you must be wrong." ”

Xiao Hai's face wrinkled into a dumpling wrapper, and said, "I knew you wouldn't believe it, and I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw a person, I was convinced." I fixed my eyes on him, and I was not in a hurry to ask questions. He continued: "I saw Zhang Fangfang, he is a eunuch, even if he stands in the crowd, he is easy to recognize. What's more, I don't always admit mistakes to both of them. ”

I had a suspicion in my heart, because on a few occasions, I did smell a woman's rouge on Fourteen.

But there are occasional socials in the officialdom, and there are many women in the harem, so it is common for them to get involved unintentionally. If anyone tells me that Fourteen went to the Qinglou to have fun, I will not believe it even if I die. I said: "Maybe there is something" Xiao Hai said: "He is a dignified prince of the Qing Dynasty, can he condescend to talk to the minister in the Qinglou?" Who are you fooling?! He added: "I invited the little guy outside to watch at the door of Yihong Mansion, as long as I see my brother-in-law, he will come to inform me." ”

It's not that I don't believe in Fourteen, but when something happens, it should be understood immediately, otherwise it will only be a cloud of grass and trees, and the misunderstanding will get deeper and deeper, until they hurt each other irreparably.

I said, "Okay, I'll go to Yihong Mansion with you." ”

found a reason to hide from Eniang, went out with Xiaohai, bought a men's dress temporarily, and the two ate and drank, so they went to the dark Yihong Mansion to open the door to do business.

It is worthy of being the largest green building in the capital, and the person who greets him at the door is not a woman at all, but a powerful man of one color, and the guests have to give half a tael of silver before entering the door. When I arrived in the hall, the lights were dim, and there were lightly dressed girls standing on the big platform playing and singing, and the men below looked polite and polite, listening to music, drinking, chatting, almost the same as a modern bar, nothing more than that each of them had a laughing girl by his side. You can even see Confucian students gathering together, just like modern dormitory classmates eating hot pot, smiling and smiling, very serious.

A man in a gray forged robe led us upstairs and said with a smile: "Are the two guest officers staying overnight today, or are they going to take them away?" The minions prepared the rooms and arranged the sedan chairs. "This service is really professional, I have never been to such an occasion, everything is up to Xiaohai. Xiao Hai simply threw a lot of money, threw a silver ingot of five taels to the gray forging man, and said: "Bring Qing'er and Le'er, and you don't need to prepare a sedan chair in the room." The gray forging man smiled more and more heartily, and said politely: "Please sit down and wait, the slave will go and please." ”

When the gray forging man was far away, I said, "It doesn't look like a brothel at all." ”

Xiao Hai sneered and said, "Have you ever been to a brothel?" Most of the people in the front yard were drinking and chatting, and the backyard coughed and coughed" As soon as the words came out, I knew that I had lost my words, so I coughed twice to cover up. People come and go around, the sound of silk and bamboo singing is endless, looking downstairs, there is no barrier to look around, but in fact, there are dozens of huge crimson curtains hanging down from the ceiling, and there are small screens between the tables, plus the lights are dim, it is not easy to really find anyone.

Soon, two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls stepped forward with pipa and guqin, and said, "Say hello to the two masters." Her posture and makeup, gestures and gestures are no different from those of a good woman, but her eyes are covered with a layer of gray, which looks extremely deep. Xiao Hai immediately became the uncle, and said: "Play a Qingping tune to the master." At this time, two men brought two screens to block the scenery downstairs, and a small cubicle was formed around it, and the two girls were very obedient, and did not gossip, and sat on the small round bench to play the ball.

I leaned my elbow against Xiaohai and said, "Don't forget what we're here for." ”

Xiao Hai whispered into my ear: "My eyeliner is out, don't worry." After speaking, he was half-lying on the chair, and his fingers were gently tapping on the table with the sound of the piano, which was very comfortable. After listening to the song, the old woman turned the screen and came in, bowed and said, "The two masters are auspicious." He smiled at Qing'er and Le'er: "Why don't you sit down next to the master and serve." ”

Le'er threw away the guqin, faded away from her previous shyness, unbuttoned her coat again, wore only a thin suspender dress, and sat down beside Xiao Hai. Xiaohai was not polite, he opened his mouth and took it, not knowing that he cared about me at all. I was about to scold him, but I didn't open my mouth yet, I didn't want Qing'er to draw a scoop on the gourd, so I put my lips together, but I didn't bluff me half to death, and I couldn't help screaming "ah". The body jerked to its feet and stepped back.
