Volume 1: Seven Killings and Breaking the Army Chapter 9 Sister-in-law Gathering

Since her husband Feng Wei left the mansion due to complicated government affairs, Mrs. Hou Chu Xiaoting has been in a mood. I didn't bother to stay for a few days, and the routine of going to the water pavilion to watch the remnants of the sun every day was also put on hold.

Outside, the scorching sun shines through the window lattices and the door flowers, casting a colorful golden glow on the floor and the furnishings in the house. The latch of the door was fastened from the inside, and the incense of medicine that calmed the nerves and helped sleep was burned in the room, but because it was not cut off in time, the incense burned all night, and the strong smell was a little pungent.

The furnishings here are simple and simple, there is not a single piece of porcelain, and there are not many eye-catching things such as gold, silver and precious stones, but whenever they appear here, they are all priceless treasures. This is the sleeping place of Chu Xiaoting in the small courtyard of the star curtain, and there are originally a lot of high-quality porcelain and some large ornamental things in the house, but Chu Xiaoting was seriously suspicious after she became pregnant, and she was frightened when Hou Zi caught Zhou.

A large rosewood bed stretched across the depths of the house, and the light and shadow could not be cast, making it look dim and gloomy on this vibrant morning afternoon. The bed hangs from a heavy veil, and the bed is covered with a thick quilt, which is soft and warm.

Chu Xiaoting kicked off the futon early, pressed it on top of a few quilts, and replaced the porcelain high pillow with a goose down soft pillow, so that her neck would not feel stumbling even if her body turned over and over. Chu Xiaoting's eyes were dizzy, floating around the room, not staying on the same thing for more than three fingers.

I came with the marrying mother-in-law several times, and the bitter mother-in-law even coaxed and deceived, Chu Xiaoting just pretended to be unable to sleep, and finally brought the little marquis with the marrying mother-in-law to ask for peace, but he was still turned away, so he had to be helpless.

Chu Xiaoting was bored, she turned her back upward, and lifted her calf, which was slightly swollen, and could only barely lift it a little, and she felt a burst of soreness and numbness, so tired that she hurriedly put her leg down.

She rolled up a quilt, the quilt still had the smell of her husband's remnants, and Chu Xiaoting planned to sleep again with the quilt rolled up in the shape of a human. At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

Chu Xiaoting covered his ears, but he still heard the voice of someone outside the door: "Sister-in-law, I'm Yanyan, I'm here to ask you for peace!"

There was a burst of laughter like silver bells outside the door, and before I saw her face, I knew that this was a woman with a hearty and free personality.

The two wooden doors with carved gauze opened with a bang, and Chu Xiaoting glanced at the people in front of the door, and said in surprise: "Yanyan! It's really you? Why did you come here at this time? If you arrive a few days earlier, you can see your father and your two brothers!"

Feng Dongyan saw that her sister-in-law's sideburns were scattered, her face was slightly waxy, and the smile on her face was much more restrained, and she casually said as she walked into the inner room: "It's okay for them to see each other later." ”

As soon as she entered the inner room and sat down, Feng Dongyan held a strand of Chu Xiaoting's hair and twisted it on her fingertips, and a few traces of oil oozed out and stuck to her fingertips. Feng Dongyan's eyes were stern, and she said with a half-reprimanded concern: "Sister-in-law, why don't you know how to take care of your body! Now that you are pregnant with Liujia, it is a good time to consolidate your foundation and peiyuan, but you have made your face yellow and thin, and it is the one who takes care of your daily life and diet, I have to ask her well!"

"Yanyan is not strange! This is my sister-in-law's own reason, somehow, I just can't get up?" Chu Xiaoting was simple-minded, and he really thought that the sister-in-law was blaming the subordinate, but he didn't know that she was referring to Sang and scolding Huai. The married mother-in-law who came in with her covered her mouth and snickered, but Feng Dongyan glared at her, and hurriedly ran to prepare a hot water basin.

Feng Dongyan kneaded her sister-in-law's back that had been numb for a long time, and naturally asked, "Sister-in-law misses my brother, right?"

Chu Xiaoting rushed out: "I want to!"

Chu Xiaoting's face was red, Feng Dongyan covered her mouth and teased, and painted her face with her fingers to shame her. Chu Xiaoting was very embarrassed, and changed the topic and said, "Songlin, didn't you come with you?"

Feng Dongyan spewed out a breath of orchid breath from his nose, and said mockingly: "He! He's a busy man, and the old sour Confucians of the same team of the Rites Department are bound up for the postgraduate entrance examination ceremony! You said that this ritual has been planned by Sour Confucians since the beginning of the founding of the country, but after thousands of discussions, one has not been changed so far.

Chu Xiaoting took the next sentence for her: "It's better to stay at home and accompany the delicate little lady...... Right?"

"Wow, you dare to laugh at me!" Feng Dongyan stood behind Chu Xiaoting, stretched out her hands and walked around to the front, jokingly kneading her. Suddenly, as if he had been shocked, he retracted his hands suddenly, and when he looked at it again, there was a water stain in his hand, slightly sticky, and a fishy sweet fragrance.

Chu Xiaoting didn't think so, and said calmly: "It's milk-water! ”

Feng Dongyan mysteriously leaned into her sister-in-law's ear and asked diligently: "Does our woman start to produce milk-water when she is pregnant? Is milk-water sweet and salty?

The wet little hand approached the tip of his nose and sniffed carefully again, trying to stick out his tongue to taste the taste, but he hesitated for a while, and finally failed to muster up the courage to overcome the feeling of resistance in his heart.

Chu Xiaoting smiled, also lowered his voice, and said softly: "Most women only start to store milk half a month before giving birth, and the milk-water that comes with giving birth to a child. My body is a heavy mother, and both babies came with milk-water in five or six months. As for the taste...... It shouldn't be bad, otherwise why would your brother eat like a little doll every time? ”

The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and smiled, and the words under each other's eyes did not need to be expressed. Girlfriends talk about meat, sometimes they are bolder and more explicit than men.

At this time, Chu Chaoyun, who was married to his mother-in-law, made hot water and entered the house, and the two sisters-in-law snorted and distanced themselves from each other. Chu Xiaoting regarded this married maid who had been around since childhood as a sister, and did not shy away from suspicion, shook his body at her, and said, "Chaoyun, I want to change my clothes!"

The mother-in-law was taken aback when she saw the master's messy chest, and hurriedly rummaged in front of the wardrobe. The mouth is full of self-indulgence, and it is some words such as "I am not ashamed, I am not ashamed, the eldest still steals milk-water", "I taught him to knead it out when I was pregnant with the eldest marquis last time, oh, that thing!

Feng Dongyan knew that the eldest sister of this slave was born with good bones, and she had studied martial arts with famous teachers, but she was afraid of pain and blood by nature, and she had never been real with anyone, so she was considered a half-high and not low martial arts character. As for what kind of half-high and not low-level method, Feng Dongyan didn't know much about it. Knowing that she had piled up all her sins on the head of the culprit Shenhuahou Feng Xuan, the heartless Feng Dongyan volcano poured oil and said: "Just count him as the most shameless, the next time you meet, you can scratch him hard, if you can scratch that brazen skin of copper and iron, Miss Ben will bear the great blame!"

Chu Xiaoting elbowed and lightly bumped into Feng Dongyan's waist. Feng Dongyan jumped up exaggeratedly and shouted loudly: "Oops! This elbow is still turning in!"

.

Chu Xiaoting put on his underwear and changed into his clothes, and moved to the side hall for dinner. Although Feng Dongyan had eaten breakfast, she still accompanied her sister-in-law to pick and choose to eat something, and she said, "I'm not hungry, so let's make do with some", and as a result, there were more imported rice porridge and side dishes than Chu Xiaoting. It is no wonder that Feng Dongyan inherited the bloodline of the Feng family, she is tall and top-notch, and although her figure is well-proportioned but not strong, her appetite is much greater than that of ordinary gentle women.

The two of them ate and talked and laughed, and occasionally the old Confucian Qin Yun gradually appeared to meet Mrs. and Miss, and another master who entered the Hou Mansion with Feng Dongyan also appeared in the side hall, an old woman with half a red butterfly tattooed on her face, although there is only half a red butterfly, but it is also beautiful, but with the wrinkles on the old woman's face, the beauty is greatly reduced.

Qin Yun is gradually a top martial arts master in the Divine Realm, but the old woman with a red butterfly in her face is in the same place as him, and she is unrestrained, which shows that her skills are also good.

The two parties looked at each other, and Qin Yunji, an old sour Confucian, was actually embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Red Mango Butterfly... Over the years... Got by... Are you alright?"

The old woman who was called the Red Mango Butterfly was indifferent, and said lifelessly: "It's okay." ”

Qin Yun gradually bumped into the cold door, feeling bored, so he asked to retreat.

When the old Confucian student walked away, Feng Dongyan said regretfully: "Why don't you accept it honestly? You two have been stiff for most of your lives, would you rather end up regretting?"

Chimango Butterfly and the sour Confucian Qin Yun are gradually a couple of resentful couples, when they were young, the innocent and innocent Red Mango Butterfly was the first to fall in love with Qin Yun, but Qin Yun gradually became obsessed with fame, and put this relationship behind him, not asking. It wasn't until the double achievement of fame and martial arts that he began to feel nostalgic for the old man and wanted to pick up the old love, but Chimango Butterfly was angry and didn't want to marry him for a hundred years.

In the end, he simply married with the young lady and went to the imperial capital thousands of miles away. If it weren't for Feng Dongyan's visit to relatives this time, she would definitely bring her with her, and the two of them might not even see this side in their lives.

"This is the old slave's private matter, Miss Hugh wants to mention it again!" When the old woman said this, she burst into tears and whimpered: "In the past twenty years, I really complained in my chest and avoided him in anger. But over the years, he really didn't want to be with him. We are both this old, and we each describe ourselves as withered and ugly, how can we return to our original youthful feelings? The old birds mourn each other, it is better to forget each other. ”

Chu Xiaoting listened sadly, tears swirled in his eyes, and he was about to flow down. Feng Dongyan was happy, and when she saw that she couldn't move, she didn't care, jumped away from the topic and asked: "Sister-in-law, I saw many musicians practicing at the end of the Orchid Garden this morning, and listening to the rhythm is witty and interesting, not like the ancient elegance played by the musicians of the official family. What kind of great musician can train such a genius?"

Suffering such a beating, Chu Xiaoting's depressed grief dispersed, and he smiled and said: "Those are all white-clothed musicians in various places in the city, but they are not comparable to musicians from the main department, they can only play one or two formal repertoire at most in their lives, and the others are all kitsch songs as you have heard. When your eldest brother was outside, he saw the musician playing, and thought it was witty, so he asked a question, so he successively received the best players recommended by officials everywhere. ”

Chu Xiaoting covered his mouth and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "Your brother blew away a batch when he was at home, but unfortunately this team of officials didn't look at it, thinking that it was just that the skills of the servants they recommended were not perfect, and they were sent to the house with another batch." Your brother is not at home, so I can't make my own decisions, so I will keep them. I also heard that they played music for flowers and birds in the orchid garden, and often the strings were turned on all day, and the hidden story behind it was naturally to attract the attention of the owner of the house. It's a pity that my mind was weakened after I became pregnant with a child, and I couldn't listen to these knocks and beatings, and I was annoyed to death. ”

Feng Dongyan smiled, pushed away the dishes and chopsticks in front of him, and said: "It's also difficult for them! In fact, when I saw them practicing in the morning, it wasn't all noisy tapping, but some of the bridges were quite interesting, and they were more lively and lively than singing ancient songs. ”

Hearing the sister-in-law's description, Chu Xiaoting was also a little moved, and summoned her to marry her mother-in-law, and asked her to pick a few musicians such as the piano and the flute, and the silk bamboo flute.

The mother-in-law, who was already a wife and had a plump body, responded, "This is easy!", and prepared to go.
