My Wife of the Three Kingdoms is Wu Sheng

Chapter 30

It was sunny and warm during the day, but in the evening, a cold wind blew strangely. It was already the end of autumn, and a gust of wind blew away the warmth of the day.

The sky was surprisingly dark, without a single starlight, and Fei County, the country of Tianshui, was already pitch black and quiet, with every household blowing on lamps to sleep.

As the weather suddenly turned cold, the clothes I had on couldn't withstand the cold, and the new uniforms hadn't been issued yet. The soldiers who were too cold were also reluctant to go out to patrol and watch the night, so there was no one on the street. , only the big red lanterns at the gates of the mansions of the rich families swayed in the cold wind, scattering dim yellow spots all over the ground.

At this moment, in Qian Ning's small mansion, the lights were still on in the rooms of the two sisters of the Zhou family.

The cold wind was howling outside, and it was icy cold, but the two sisters tidy up neatly and neatly, and the elegantly furnished room was full of fragrance and warmth.

Elder sister Zhou Tong is dressed in snow-white fox fur. The smooth, soft and well-tailored fox fur sets off her exquisite, water-like, girlish body.

Under the lightly swaying oil lamp, Zhou Tong lowered his head and was concentrating on sewing a winter coat with those small and beautiful catkins.Her face was pink and clear, without any blemishes, shining with the luster of jade under the dim light.With a straight and delicate nose, small and beautiful cherry lips, and a drooping head, all her heart is now focused on this half-sewn winter coat.She has pure eyes, a faint smile between the corners of her mouth and brows, as she guides the needle and thread through the fabric with her slender hands, inserting the embroidery needle into the hair bun from time to time to dip the pomade, and then lowers her head to sew carefully.Looking at the beauty under the light, the beauty is even more beautiful. The girl who is already beautiful is quiet and pure at the moment, and there is a moving elegance and beauty all over her body. It seems that every stitch and thread is entrusted with the girl's heart. One more stitch of her wish was fulfilled.

"Sister—you've been sitting motionless for a long time, are you tired? If you're tired, play with me for a while, I can't sleep, and there's no one to play with, it's good to chat!" Zhou Wei, who lives under the care of her parents and sister, is very pure in her mind. Although she is only one year younger than her sister Zhou Tong, her sister has begun to miss spring, and she is still happy and thinks nothing. Being with a gentleman like a father, although it is a bit boring not to go out, it is still very happy to entertain myself every day.

A few days ago, Qian Ning asked a craftsman to make a few puppets for her, which made the little girl who knew nothing about the world happy for several days. Her husband was away, and her sister was busy with her own affairs and couldn't take care of her, so she just stayed in the room alone. Talking and playing games with my puppet, treating the puppet as a partner with thoughts and life, spent a very happy few days.

When the novelty wore off and puppets were no longer fun, Qian Ning asked someone to get a kitten covered in white like a snowball from a wealthy family in the city. Her little friends are tired of being together, as good as one person.

But yesterday, when Qian Ning went to visit relatives in Qianjia Village, the little white cat also disappeared on the same day, causing the little girl to cry sadly for a long time.

Zhou Tong looked at his younger sister affectionately, and gently reproached him, "Sleeping for so long during the day, of course I can't sleep at night, and I have the face to say it, so I don't feel ashamed."

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and was busy with the work in hand.

Zhou Wei looked at it, and got up from the soft cushion, leaned towards his sister, rested his chin, and stared at the clothes that were being formed in his sister's hands with his chin, and suddenly she Pointing to the lotus inside the clothes, he asked strangely: "What kind of flower is that? I have never seen it before. It is said to be like a lily, but it is bigger than a lily. It is said to be a lotus flower, but it has two heads—oh ,I see!"

"What do you know?" Zhou Tong asked with a funny look at his sister.

Zhou Wei pointed at the Bingdilian seriously with her big innocent eyes, and explained with her rich imagination that day: "These should be a pair of twin flowers, but when their mother gave birth to them, the two sisters gave birth to them. They all wanted to come out first to be the older sister, so they scrambled to go out. But the mother’s belly is so big, it’s okay to come out one by one, but it’s crowded when two come out together. The mother is in pain, but the two sisters are unwilling to compromise. In the end, the bodies were squeezed together and could no longer be separated—such poor sisters!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Wei sighed sickly while resting his chin and blinking his eyes.

Zhou Tong thought she could have some great ideas, but she didn't expect it to be a ridiculous reason.She didn't know where her sister came up with so many weird ideas when she was chatting all day long.Maybe she's talking too much...

Zhou Tong looked at the face that was not inferior to hers, and looked at her younger sister who was a little more cute than her, Zhou Tong sighed and said: "You are not too young, if the disaster of destroying the family did not come suddenly, By this time next year, you should get married in a sedan chair—you can’t just focus on having fun like this, you should also learn some things that a girl’s family should know... Tomorrow I will ask you to cook, Mr. is so busy every day, you can’t eat delicious food Hot meals are not enough, if I feel unwell sometimes, you can help me."

When Zhou Wei heard what his sister said, he was immediately dumbfounded, but he also knew that it was a girl's job to do laundry, cook, and embroider.

In the past, her family regarded her as the youngest child as a treasure. The playful Zhou Wei didn't like these jobs, and the family did not force her to learn.But now, with no relatives and no home, the two sisters, like duckweeds, have no capital to rely on anymore, so they can be at ease as maids, serve the master well, win the favor of the master, and seek a way out.

Although Qian Ning treats them very well, he can't be proud of them. If he doesn't know anything and only knows how to eat for nothing, how can he be worthy of his conscience?

Women's crafts that could be resigned before, but now they can't be lost no matter what.

"Okay..." Zhou Wei drooped his head and sighed, this time he was really worried, not just moaning.

"Mr. was wearing such thin clothes when he left. It must be very cold. I have to finish this winter coat overnight, and I will ask the housekeeper to send it to Mr. early tomorrow morning... Mr. working hard day and night has not been very healthy. If you suffer It's windy and cold, what should I do..." Listening to the cold wind blowing on the lattice, making faint whimpers, Zhou Tong became more and more worried, more and more anxious, and finally stood up restlessly.

"Sister, tell me the truth, are you--falling in love with our husband?" Seeing that her sister was neither sitting nor sitting, Zhou Wei blinked narrowly and laughed.

Zhou Tong's white and jade-like cheeks suddenly flushed with embarrassment. She avoided her younger sister's laughing eyes in embarrassment and anger, and stomped her feet and said, "Nonsense... what do children know—"

"I'm only one year younger than you, okay..." Zhou Wei pouted, then leaned over to avoid Zhou Tong's bag, hugged Zhou Tong's body and smiled, and the two sisters whispered, "Although our husband is a bit older, I can be our father, but he is so good-looking and passable, and he knows how to be gentle and gentle, and he is a modest gentleman. My sister follows him, and the old couple and young wife will be happy... But, the husband is more than 20 years older than the sister , the health is not good, she must be one step ahead of my sister... Hey, it was so desolate to leave my sister orphaned and widowed at that time, hey—"

Zhou Tong, on the other hand, had a fever all over her body. Seeing her sister sighing without saying a word, she was so ashamed that she just wanted to get into the hole.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Who-who." The two sisters hurriedly separated, and Zhou Tong hurriedly straightened the somewhat messy skirts and buns in response.

"It's the little Qian Fu!" Qian Fu's voice came from outside the door. The two sisters had been in Qian's house for a while, and they could still hear the voice of the housekeeper.

"It's so late, what's the matter?" Zhou Tong said as he rushed to open the door and said.

After opening the door, Zhou Tong found a man in his 40s wearing servant clothes standing beside Qian Fu. Zhou Tong was surprised. Before he could ask, the servant stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Zhou Tong. Then he said: : "Madam, the younger one is a servant of Mr. Zhou Wang's family. This evening, Qian Shilang returned to the city. I heard that his relatives from other provinces just rushed back. Qian Shilang has been away from his hometown for many years. It is very exciting to see so many villagers when he returns home this time." I was happy, and happened to meet our husband at the gate of the city. Qian Shilang was very excited, and said that he wanted to share happiness with his friends, and he would not return if he was not drunk. Madam also knew that the young host was from a poor family, and he had no money to hire him. There are too many servants, and even I will be dismissed next month. Where can there be maids to serve? Qian Shilang and the laughing master are all drunk now, lying on the ground in the yard and falling asleep. The little one I am old and weak, I can't move it, and I can't call anyone for help, so I rushed to report the news, and hoped that Madam would send some people to help—"

Zhou Tong was called Mrs. Ma'am by this man, and she was ashamed and happy at the same time. Hearing that her husband was still sleeping in the wind, she suddenly became confused, and Qian Ning did often mention his Mrs. Gao Jie's proud and impoverished friend Zhou Wang who refused to bow his head, didn't care to think about it, so she said eagerly: "Housekeeper, hurry up and prepare the sedan chair, and come with me to pick up the master back home!"

"I'm going too, I'm going too!" Zhou Wei also ran out of the house anxiously and shouted at this time, Zhou Tong's mind is now full of their husband, oh, now the body that is now called the master, just follow her went.

"Young one, let's get ready—" Qian Fu saluted Zhou Tong sisters respectfully, then turned around and left immediately, and the two sisters were busy going back to the room to prepare brocade quilts and coats, but they didn't notice that when they turned around, , Qian Fu and the "servant of the Zhou family" looked at each other, showing a strange smile.

"It's good to come back... I have to finish this robe after the waiter goes to sleep, and I will put it on for the husband tomorrow." Before leaving, Zhou Tong still couldn't forget the one on the table with only two sleeves left Unsealed fine robes.

"You denied it just now, but now you care more about someone than me, hum!" Zhou Wei snorted pretending to be angry, snatched the semi-finished robe from his sister, and walked her out of the room.

Then, on a dark and windy night, two sedan chairs hurriedly set off from the Qianning Mansion, set foot on the deserted street, and rushed to a place that the two sisters never expected.

About an hour later, another group of people, horses and two sedan chairs hurried over against the cold wind of the night.As soon as they arrived in front of Qian's mansion, a big man stepped forward and knocked on the door violently: "Open the door quickly, Yu (poison) Situ's mansion is coming to pick you up!"

Then there was a trembling voice from inside the door, asking the big man for a long time, and it was clear that the person who came was actually from Yu Du's mansion, and then he heard the door of the mansion open with a "squeak". I saw a white cloth wrapped around the head of the housekeeper Qian Fu, and the cloth was full of blood, and those servants were not much better, all of them were bruised and swollen, most of them were still lying on the ground moaning, and there was still a puddle on the ground. The condensed blood can still smell the pungent smell of blood.

The villain who knocked on the door was startled when he saw this scene, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?!"

Qian Fu sighed dejectedly: "You guys are late—"

"What! Speak clearly!" The villain grabbed Qian Fu's wrist and yelled at him fiercely.

Qian Fu grinned in pain, and hurriedly said, "It hurts, hurts..."

The man let go of his hand angrily, Qian Fu squeezed his sore wrist, then pointed to his own head, then pointed to the servants who were downcast and groaning, and then sighed: "One hour ago, one The partner claimed to be the one who was injured by Yu Situ, and the younger one thought that they had come to pick up the two ladies, but he didn't expect that I knew their identities in the house, and he couldn't be fooled, so he relied on the number of people, Openly robbing, we tried our best to stop them, but we were not the opponents of those villains, and let those villains snatch the two ladies away with their heads broken and bloody - originally the young one wanted to report to the police immediately, but now where can I find someone? ? I just want to wait until dawn, and then report to the adults, and let them be the masters of my family..."

Looking at Qian Fu who was sighing and frowning, Na E Khan even went up and touched his head, and tore off his white cloth. When he saw the crack on his head, and the blood was still oozing out along the wound. The big man no longer questioned the bloody wound, but immediately shouted: "Send someone to patrol around immediately, and I must find out that group of thieves!"

"Yes!" The crowd agreed loudly, and then the group of people and the two sedan chairs quickly disappeared into the night, with only the sound of the whining wind and the barking of dogs in the distance from time to time.

"Manager Qian—everyone is gone, can we go back and rest?" Qian Fu stood with his hands behind his back, on the steps in front of the house, staring at the dark front for a long time.Seeing that he was motionless, the servants couldn't help but came up and asked softly.

Qian Fu turned his head, looked at the group of servants who were shivering with cold, nodded and said with a smile: "Today, the big guys acted very hard, and they were all injured and bled because of it. This manager decided, No one rewards two taels of silver, fifty catties of good rice!"

"Thanks money steward!"

Hearing Qian Fu's words, the servants who were still in distress immediately regained their spirits and jumped up for joy.

But before they finished cheering, Qian Fu's voice suddenly turned cold: "But if someone tells the story of today. Humph! I don't need to tell you the consequences, you all know the consequences—all rest!"

Looking at Qian Fu who was leaving quickly, these servants still bowed their bodies in silence. After his figure disappeared for a while, these servants dared to carefully clean up the bloody courtyard with brooms and wooden barrels, and then They scattered.

And Qian Fu stood in the darkness of his own room, listening to the cold wind beating on the lattice, his deep eyes were shining brightly, emitting a strange cold light.

"Master, my name is Han Fu. I was saved by you and taken in by you, so I changed my surname and became your servant. Speaking of which, you have saved my life and treated me well. But, I can't just work hard for you all my life just to repay the kindness? There is always a day when the kindness is repaid, but I have to find another job. People go to high places, and water flows to low places. This is human nature, come to think of it Master, you also understand. Although you are highly regarded by Guan Taiwei, but you are too good at being an official, and I have no prestige outside the world. Look at Li Damu and Yu Du's housekeeper servants, that is called air If our master doesn’t live up to expectations, we should also suffer as a young man, right? Instead of following you, a master who is indifferent to fame and fortune, never fights, and allows others to bully you, why don’t you just follow Guan Taiwei... betraying you this time is also a last resort —Master, don't blame me..."

And when the sedan chair stopped, the two sisters hurriedly embraced the thick and soft brocade quilt coat, opened the curtain and walked down, only to find that the house of this poor scholar was not shabby at all, and it was surprisingly luxurious. The guardian Qian's family, I don't know how gorgeous it is!

There are rockeries, pavilions, flower gardens and clear ponds in the mansion courtyard. Under the red light of the rows of red lanterns that are taller than people in the attic corridor, the whole mansion is dazzling under the night, looking so luxurious and dazzling.

Coupled with the guards guarded by the sharp guards, it does not show the atmosphere of this house.How could such a courtyard be owned by a humble scholar who is unwilling and can't afford to hire a maid? !

"This—" Zhou Tong immediately realized that she had been fooled, but before she could throw down the quilt and pull her sister up to escape, she was surrounded by the bearers.

"You——" Looking at the bearers of Qian's mansion who surrounded them and kept them from getting out, the two girls suddenly understood everything.

"Don't try to resist, you will be home when you get here. With the two beautiful faces, you must be deeply loved by Lord Sikong, but the days of calling slaves and maidservants wearing gold and silver, I don't know how much better than staying in such a dilapidated place Bei——send the two ladies to Lord Sikong's room, and Lord Sikong is waiting!" The "servant of Zhou's mansion" who seemed dull and honest before, is now looking at the two sisters with pale faces with a smile. His eyes shone brighter than a fox's.

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and before the two sisters could resist, he saw a group of tall and strong wicked women and maids coming aggressively, and they couldn't help but escort the two girls away, leaving them dragged on the ground, the creases that were stepped on were dirty The mandarin duck and red brocade quilt, and the well-fitting and exquisite wolf fur coat she personally sewed for Qian Ning...

The red candles are shaking, the whole room smells of burning pepper orchids, the powder curtains are hanging down, the red brocade quilt is tiled, and the bright red and eye-catching red happy words make people realize that it is time for the bridal chamber to celebrate. night of.

It is a pleasure in the world to enjoy the beautiful scenery on a good day, but for the sisters Zhou Tong and Zhou Wei, it is no less than the desolation and despair of being wiped out.

The two women were forced by a group of powerful thugs to bathe in incense barrels, then put on gorgeous red gowns, bound their hands and feet, covered them with red hijabs, and hurriedly carried them to Li Damu's bridal chamber. middle.

Li Damu was drunk, he kicked open the door, still holding the flagon in his hand, and a strong smell of alcohol immediately spread.

His plump body was wearing the red groom's robe as big as a bucket, with a tall general's belly, which opened the buttons of the robe at the belly, revealing the dark belly covered with black hair.With the footsteps of his feet swaying here and there, there was a wave of disgusting fleshy flowers.

"Two little ladies, heck... Ben Sikong... Ever since... Ever since I witnessed the peerless youth of the two young ladies at the state banquet that day, I have been thinking about it day and night... I can't eat and I can't sleep. Finally being able to stay together with the two young ladies today is really the happiest thing in my life, giggling..." Li Damu impatiently strode over while belching loudly, Take off the two red hijabs, revealing two amazing faces.

Li Damu was stunned by the amazement of that moment, and it took a long time to swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then a pair of bull's eyes were red, and he looked at the two women lewdly, and said with a drunken smile: "I heard... Lei Gong , Yu Du, those two old guys also paid attention to the two young ladies, but your husband was kind enough to help me. Hahaha, I was a little worried that I would not let down Qian Shilang's good intentions, so I will take pity on you! Little lady, it's late at night, let uncle love you well, and let you taste what happiness is!"

After speaking, Li Damu rushed towards the two sisters clumsily like a three-legged fat pig.The two sisters were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they rolled eagerly to both sides. Li Damu's plump body flew into the air and fell hard on the bed.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, the bed board was smashed into a big hole, and the legs of the bed sank halfway, and Li Damu was also thrown unconscious immediately, with blood dripping from his forehead, obviously hitting something hard.

The room was terribly silent, only the crackling sound of the burning red candle could be heard.

It took Zhou Wei a while to ask in a trembling voice, "Sister...what should I do now..."

Zhou Tong and Zhou Wei are now tied hands and feet, they just rolled to the ground in a flash, and now they are struggling to stand up.

Zhou Tong took a deep breath, looked carefully at the furnishings in the room, then gritted his teeth, and said firmly: "Damu Li will definitely not place too many guards outside this room today, and if we make more noise, no one will be alert... See Is there a big porcelain vase over there, the two of us will roll over in a moment, roll the porcelain bottle upside down and break it, and then we will use the pieces to cut the rope and wait for an opportunity to escape."

"Sister, I listen to you!" Zhou Wei said hastily.

Then after a while, I heard a "bang" sound, and after a while, I heard the cry of a girl who was sobbing and crying from inside the room.

The guard who wanted to go over to have a look when he heard the noise, just shook his head and smiled, and sighed: "The two juicy cabbages were kicked by the pig..."

On the second day, heavy snow covered the whole of Xuzhou.Qian Ning had a nightmare all night, and when he closed his eyes, he could see the tearful little faces of the two sisters. Before he could stare for a while, there was always that piercing cry in his ears.

"No! I have to go back and have a look!" Qian Ning, who was restless, stood up, put on his coir raincoat, and was about to go out in the heavy snow.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw Zhou Cang, who had been away for less than two days, walking in with two big men in black over the low fence.

"Where are you going, sir!" Zhou Cang rushed forward to hear the news.

"I'm worried about the family, I have to go back and have a look! The date with Wu Na is still another day!" Qian Ning hurried out without paying attention to greetings.

Two big men in black wanted to stop them, but they were stopped by Zhou Cang with a wink.

"Sir, don't worry. I came this time. The two Miss Zhou were worried about Mr.'s body, so they dragged me to bring Mr. a winter coat they made by themselves. Chen Er!" Zhou Cang said with a wink, and a man in black The big man took out a blue cloth bag from the rucksack on his back, and when Qian Ning saw the gown embroidered with Tilian, he felt a burst of warmth flooding his whole body.

No matter how dull he is at this moment, he knows Zhou Tong's feelings for him.Although we have been together for so long, he has never been attracted to that beautiful girl who is incomparable, gentle, understanding, Youyou has extremely dexterous hands, and a heart with seven apertures.But the age gap between the two is too big, not to mention she can't break the courtesy of a gentleman, and the girl didn't show her intentions, how could he dare to go beyond half a step? !

However, gradually he understood the deep friendship in those tender eyes. He, Qian Ning, was not a wooden man, so how could he not be grateful for her meticulous and caring care for so long?

"Xiaotong, don't worry, I will take care of our marriage when I go back this time. I will take good care of you, take care of you, take care of you for the rest of my life..." Although the stitching of the last two sleeves of this robe is obviously very tight. Roughness makes a robe of excellent workmanship ugly, but it does not hinder Qian Ning's deep heart.
