Oblivion - (XXXI)
Past life ten.
The sunlight shines through the thin clouds, shining on the white earth, reflecting a silvery light that dazzles people's eyes.
Although Su Mansion is a concubine, today's pomp and circumstance is not small.
The concubines of the large and small officials in the entire Ningzhou City were invited, and the Su Mansion was lively, the house was full of pink, and the lanterns on the cloister were all covered in pink.
I have a rule for concubines, and concubines can only wear pink clothes and green belts.
Now that Su Mansion is operating with such fanfare, it can be regarded as giving enough face to Miss Jiang and her father Lord Jiang.
The concubines who came to eat and drink were basically the concubines of other officials, and the concubine with a straightforward personality spoke in the back garden, "I heard that Miss Jiang is Miss Yan of Jiang Mansion, why is Miss Yan willing to marry Master Su as a good concubine?"
The other woman nudged her, motioning for her not to say that today.
When the woman next to her saw it, there was disdain in her mouth.
Not to mention the low status of being a concubine in this world, you can still be manipulated by the master mother at will, if you don't have a child, if you don't have a low status, who wants to be a concubine?
She couldn't figure it out, and looked down on her even more, a good official lady was willing to serve a husband with the county lord?
I really don't know if it's because of the water in my brain or if there's any charm of Lord Su.
The sunlight was filtered by the layers of leaves, and the leakage turned into a faint round and gently swaying halo on everyone.
The view in the back garden is still good, the breeze blows gently, and a ray of sunlight shines directly into a corridor not far away, like a beam of shining gold thread.
There is an incompatible figure on the corridor, Shui Qirou is dressed in a fiery red dress, which is extremely enchanting and dazzling.
Someone was a little surprised to see her, the people invited to eat and drink today should be the concubines of the officials' families, who dares to dress like this?
But who is this woman? She is so beautiful that some people recognize her.
Maybe it's because the matter between her and Master Su is not a secret, maybe it's because they, the women of the back house, like gossip, in short, the topic quickly came to her.
Slowly, the news that the young lady of the Huaizhou City grain merchant Shui family had come to Sufu spread, and then it soon spread throughout Sufu.
The news first arrived in the ears of Su Lingfeng, the owner of this Su Mansion, at this time he was meeting guests in the front yard, and when he heard the news in his ear, he frowned, chatted politely with the guests, and turned around and walked to the side courtyard prepared for Xinna's concubine in the mansion.
He was going to look for Shui Qirou, and he heard that she had gone to a side room.
On the way to the side house, in a corridor, a woman in a fiery red Luo skirt was leaning on the corridor, the sun was shining on her, and a faint golden light floated around her, like a dream.
She heard the voice, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and pretended to look at Su Lingfeng calmly.
"You're here?"
She opened her mouth first, this sentence you came to say is insipid, it seems that in the past, when he was in Shuifu, he came to find her, he came to see her, she said the last sentence, you are here?
Then he smiled at him with joy, and then pulled him to tell him about his longing.
The warm sunlight shuttles through the breath of the slight gap, comfortable, long, the air is filled with fragrance, filling everything in the sky and earth with emptiness, and everyone in the back garden not far away looks at the two carefully.
The concubine, who had heard more gossip, lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Miss Jiang, who is going to come in through the side door today, is a close friend of Miss Shui! I heard that they grew up together since childhood, are inseparable, and have an excellent relationship...... But Miss Shui and Master Su have a relationship, and everyone has heard of it......"
The faces of the other concubines who listened changed slightly, this man who has a relationship with his close friends in the boudoir also has to earn and rush to be someone's concubine?
I really don't know what this Miss Jiang thinks and what kind of person she is!
Under the sun, in the corridor, there is a delicate dust, muttering innocence, full of the warmth of the past.
Shui Qirou looked at the handsome man in front of her who was wearing a dark brocade robe with dark red patterns rolling on her sleeves, she stared into his eyes and said, "You promised me something, have you done it?"
"You married the county lord, and now you are going to take a concubine again? There was sarcasm in Shui Qirou's eyes.
Su Lingfeng looked at her fixedly, listening to her words, his heart was full of bitterness.
"Qirou, the Holy Order, who dares to resist? If I resist, what about the population of the hundreds of people in the Su Mansion?"
After he finished speaking, the corner of his eye aimed at the jade pendant on her waist, and he took a deep breath.
Seeing him say this, Shui Qirou smiled bitterly.
Shui Qirou took a deep breath, stood up, looked at him fixedly, and following his gaze, she looked down and saw the jade pendant on her waist.
She took it off, held it in her hand, and handed it to him, "Give it back to you." ”
She smiled desolately, this man has nothing to do with her, and the excitement of Su Mansion today has nothing to do with her.
Su Lingfeng looked at her, the bleak smile on her face and the mist in her eyes.
He finally couldn't help it and stepped forward to take her into his arms.
Shui Qirou's tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.
A gentle breeze blows away the clouds and mist, spreading warmth and light all over the cloister, and the rows of pink lampshades hanging from the cloister are particularly dazzling.
With tears in her eyes, she took a breath of his breath and muttered in her mouth, "I can't resist the will of the saints, I don't blame you, but you can accept Jiang Shufang as a concubine, can't you refuse? Why? Why? You know that she and I grew up together? Where are you doing this?"
Su Lingfeng hugged her tightly and said, "It is precisely because she is your friend that I agreed." ”
Shui Qirou took two deep breaths of his breath, this man, from now on, will not be delusional with her, let alone remember her, today, she will smell his breath more, and then forget.
She grabbed his sleeve tightly, her eyes filled with tears, this man, did she really think she hadn't noticed anything?
Do you really think you don't know anything? Now that you're on this job, you have to lie to yourself, and you take advantage of yourself?
"Are you still going to lie to me?"
Shui Qirou pushed him away, the corners of her eyes and her face were full of wet tears, "Accepting a concubine is the meaning of the county lord, you don't resist, just because she is jealous, isn't it?"
Su Lingfeng looked at her and didn't speak.
Shui Qirou laughed more and more strangely, and her tears increased.
She didn't understand it at first, thinking that he was good for himself by writing a few letters to herself, and thinking that he was good for herself by saying a few words of care for her.
She originally planned to spend her life with him even if she was a concubine in the side room, but how ridiculous the truth was.
"It's me who is wrong, it's me who is wrong, but why should the matter between you and the county lord involve me? Why?"
"You don't like me, but why do you pretend to like me?"
She looked at the corridor behind him in the distance, and the county lord who was three points like herself, and hurried with a servant with an angry face, wiped away two lines of tears, stretched out her hand, and slapped him in the face!
Shameless, never to be seen again.
She turned and walked away, this man, never wanting to see again.
Did he think she didn't know anything?
