Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 11

Tai'an Mansion is an important place in the northwest of the capital, with a garrison of 20 troops, and is in charge of Zhenyuan Hou Peizheng. The [-]-year-old Pei Jinghan also has a job, and most of the time he will go to the military camp. However, as a prince, he does not have to be in the military camp on time like other officials. Occasionally, he is lazy, or stays at home, or goes out to meet friends , The people below turned a blind eye.

Fortunately only occasionally.

In the twilight of the morning, Ning Xiang breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Pei Jinghan leave Lengmei Pavilion in official uniform.

Her favorite Pei Jinghan is out.

"Look at you, it seems that the teacher has left." Su Yue joked with a smile.

"I don't know why, I'm just afraid of him." Ning Xiang looked at her seriously and replied.

In her previous life, Suyue only asked her how she felt about Pei Jinghan twice. For the first time, Ningxiang thought that Suyue found out that Pei Jinghan was kind to her, and she was a little guilty. She said that she had no intention of being an aunt, so Suyue probably didn't believe it.The second time was Pei Jinghan belittled her and was bumped into by Suyue, who was already Pei Jinghan's man at that time, she asked her if she liked Pei Jinghan, Ningxiang cried and said no, Suyue just sneered, and satirized her for having tricks .

Ningxiang doesn't understand why Suyue thinks that way, she only knows that she will tell Suyue everything in this life, and she will say it clearly, so that Suyue won't be misunderstood, and the two of them will be strangers, and they will always be in love with each other. With her sister, she had the chance to persuade Su Yue to save money to redeem herself.

Su Yue was stunned, seeing Shang Ning Xiang eager to prove something, she burst into a smile, took Ning Xiang's arm and walked in, "What are you afraid of, he won't eat you again, let's go, the weather is getting warmer , let’s tidy up the house and put away the thick clothes.”

Ning Xiang likes this kind of intimacy, thinking that in her previous life, Su Yue had already started to distance herself from her, and if she sneaked a look at the arms they held so intimately, her heart felt like the blue sky above her head, cloudless.

The two sisters cleaned the anteroom thoroughly, sweating a little after the work, and after washing their faces, they sat at the door of the anteroom to look at the plum blossoms in the corner.

"How much money do you have?" Su Yue asked suddenly, "Did you spend a lot on the land?" As she spoke, she pinched a five-flavored melon seed from the palm of her hand, knocked it skillfully, and looked at it with her head tilted. She, the fox's eyes are full of natural charm.

Ning Xiang was also eating melon seeds, and said softly: "Fortunately, she saved up all the money I gave to my aunt before. I only made up five taels, and now I still have six taels..."

"Then you can redeem yourself with 14 taels more." Su Yue lowered her eyes, and used her nails painted with Kodan to take out the fat melon seeds from the two shells and put them into her mouth.

Ning Xiang nodded, "It's enough to save for more than one year. The prince is already twenty, and he will get engaged almost this year. When we get married next year, let's go to Mrs. Shizi and tell... By the way, how much money do you have? I'm not talking about you, now that you want to save money, you can't spend as much money as before."

Pointingly glanced at the silk flower on Su Yue's head.

She had to repay the debts to support her family for three years, and Su Yue spent almost all of it on dressing herself up, so she probably didn't have as much money as hers.

Without shame, Su Yue raised her head and said triumphantly: "I have seven taels, more than you, you have no right to control me."

Ning Xiang wanted to laugh, and settled accounts with her, "I just bought land for five taels, do you have the nerve to compare with me?"

Su Yue didn't care, she insisted that she had a lot of money, the two were arguing, a little maid suddenly turned around, and waved at them from a distance, "What are you two sisters still dawdling about, it's our turn to go to the embroidery room to measure the size!"

The servants of the Hou Mansion have new clothes to wear all year round, and the older ones don’t need to be measured repeatedly, while those who are still tall like them have to be measured once a year, so as not to lose the face of the Hou Mansion if the clothes don’t fit well.

"It's all your fault, I almost forgot about it!" Su Yue immediately jumped up, and ran over there smilingly ordering Ning Xiang, "I'll go first, after you pack your things, hurry up and catch up!"

Her voice was brisk, and Ningxiang shook her head helplessly, put away the melon seeds bench, and then closed the door, and went there a little excitedly, and then saw Su Yue standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting for her, her pink skirt and white skirt were pretty and lively It is even more beautiful than plum blossoms.

The embroidery house located on the west side of Zhenbei Hou's Mansion was very lively at this time, and the maids from other courtyards came early and waited.

Su Yue Ningxiang works beside Pei Jinghan, and her status in the eyes of the maidservants in the Hou Mansion is almost only inferior to that of the old lady. Of course, some people envy them, and some people are jealous. As the two walked in, they heard a lot of gossip .

As if she had never heard of it, Su Yue held Ning Xiang's arm affectionately.

Ning Xiang heard it too many times, so she didn't take it to heart anymore, but she couldn't talk and laugh at Yan Yan like Su Yue.

In the embroidery room, when Aunt Wan, the manager, saw the two of them coming, she immediately smiled and took the ruler from the little maid's hand to say hello, "These two flowers are here. Come here, and let Auntie see how much you have grown." She makes clothes, and she likes whoever makes the clothes she makes look good, and she will put more thought into making clothes for them.

"Why is it that after a year, aunt seems to be younger?" Su Yue walked over first, looking at Aunt Wan very seriously.

"You're so clever." Aunt Wan gently patted the little girl's buttocks with a ruler and asked her to stretch her arms.

Su Yue obeyed obediently.

Aunt Wan first measured her arms and legs, and when she measured her chest at the end, she nodded with satisfaction, and boasted in a soft voice: "Su Yue looks like a big girl as she grows." With her good looks and figure, it's no wonder that the crown prince would have caught his eye when he picked a big maid.

After measuring Su Yue, it's time to condense the fragrance.

The little girl blushed, breathed like blue, and she was the best. Even a woman like Aunt Wan was a little flustered by her.What kind of girl is the most attractive?The bold and enthusiastic top card in the brothel may fascinate men for a while, but they are definitely more willing to train this kind of shy one in their hearts.

At dusk, Pei Jinghan brought back a pair of red coral trees and asked them, "What do you think of this as a birthday present for Madam?"

February 29 is Mrs. Du's birthday, only five days away.

The two red corals are as translucent as jade, and Su Yue praised them with a smile.

Ningxiang was surprised.

In the previous life, when Du's birthday was celebrated, Pei Jinghan gave this pair of red coral trees as a gift. Besides the coral trees, he also prepared a red coral bracelet for her.He drank some wine that night, when she was helping him to change clothes, he suddenly took out a bracelet from his arms and gave it to her, Ningxiang turned her head and refused, he was not happy, then forced her to kiss her, and asked her to think carefully when she went home .That is to say, since the night of breaking the news, his speech and behavior have become more and more explicit.

"Does Ningxiang not like it?" Seeing her staring at the coral tree in a daze, Pei Jinghan asked tentatively. He really didn't like it, so he gave her something else.

Ning Xiang had an idea, and thought of a reason for him not to give her the bracelet, frowned and looked at the coral tree, and whispered deliberately: "Didn't the prince say that the coral is changed by bugs in the sea? Then, will the madam be afraid?" ..."

Su Yue couldn't hold back, she lowered her head and laughed.

Pei Jinghan couldn't help but laugh at her and said, "Even bugs are dead bugs... Forget it, I shouldn't ask you, Changshun, take it to the warehouse, remember to send someone to watch it, lest they run away with long legs."

This is clearly a joke on Ningxiang.

Ning Xiang lowered her head pretending to be embarrassed, but she was still uneasy.

On the 29th, Pei Jinghan went to have a feast at Du's side, while Ningxiang and Suyue stayed in Lengmei Pavilion.

"Why don't you eat it?" Seeing her staring at the two dishes in a daze, Su Yue shook her hand and said, "It's rare that I added more food today."

Ning Xiang came back to her senses, and made an excuse and said, "I, I'm homesick."

"I'll be back tomorrow, what's on my mind." Su Yue gave her an angry look, and gave her a fish ball.

Ning Xiang smiled at her, but she accidentally bit her lip because she was distracted while eating fish balls. The pain had just hit, and a thought suddenly popped up in Ning Xiang's mind. Let out a cry.

Su Yue raised her head and saw that her lower lip was bleeding.

"What's wrong with you, no one is robbing you, what are you doing in such a hurry to eat?" He said, but the movement didn't stop, he hurriedly took out a clean handkerchief, and handed it to Ningxiang to wipe her mouth.

Ning Xiang shook her head, took out her handkerchief, and looked in the mirror after rinsing her mouth. A large piece of skin was torn, and when she pursed her lips a little, blood still came out.Su Yue watched from the side, feeling distressed, advised her: "Forget it, you sleep here tonight, I'll go and serve the prince."

Just as Ningxiang was about to agree, she thought for a second, Pei Jinghan must have been drinking tonight, what if she also flirts with Suyue?She bit her lip. It's not that Pei Jinghan has never touched a woman before, and he is not so hungry that he will be attracted to such lips.

"No need, a little injury, it doesn't matter." Ning Xiang smiled and declined Su Yue's proposal. After speaking, she was afraid that she would think too much, so she quickly added: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I will be tired and you will be on duty for me. Tonight I'm really sorry to let you take my place."

"Okay." Su Yue was still staring at her lips, "Then you pay attention, you are not allowed to purse your lips from now on."

Ning Xiang was amused by her, she pulled her lips when she smiled, the pain made her take a breath, in exchange for Su Yue's gleeful smile.

As night fell, Pei Jinghan came back, smelling faintly of alcohol.

Ningxiang and Suyue served him together, and entered the bright room, Pei Jinghan quickly noticed Ningxiang's lips, "How did you do it?"

Ning Xiang lowered her head, and said awkwardly while taking off his boots: "I accidentally bit it while eating."

Pei Jinghan smiled, the laughter was deep and sweet, staring at the little girl's rosy lips for a while, he pulled the collar of his shirt, and looked at Su Yue who was holding the clothes he had changed and was about to go out, "Ningxiang is injured , Tonight, Suyue will keep vigil."

Su Yue froze at the door.

Pei Jinghan looked at her with a smile in his phoenix eyes. In the light, the gentle eyes in his eyes were intoxicating.

Su Yue came back to her senses, and walked towards the bed with her clothes in her arms, "Then Ning Xiang, go to rest early, I will take care of your son."

Ningxiang doesn't want to suffer for herself, but she definitely doesn't want Suyue to become Pei Jinghan's person in advance because of her, "No need..."

"Go, let Suyue come." Pei Jinghan said again, not negotiable.
