Yutai Bi

Chapter 58 He is here

Si Niang stood on the side of the sedan chair, pointing to the various places in the mansion for her to see: "Our house occupies a larger area than the old house, so we have to enter the yard three times. The front yard is where Dad discusses business. Dad is a military general, so the second enters the yard." The courtyard was demolished and a large martial arts arena was built. Our female family lives in the third entrance..."

Cen Sanniang roughly figured it out.The third entrance courtyard is the main courtyard where Master Cen and the third wife live. There are two small courtyards in the east and west, one of which is for oneself, and the other is for the fourth wife and sixth wife.There are several rows of houses in the back cover room, which are the residences of the girls and women in the backyard of the inner house.Going further back is the garden.

After walking for a while, the third lady said, "Siniang and Liuniang only took an hour's leave, so let's go back to class. I'm still dealing with housework, so I won't accompany Sanniang. There is a garden behind, and there is a garden on the rockery. A gazebo with a view of the river. San Niangzi, should you go and have a look?"

If you can see the river view, it must be a good view.Cen Sanniang was really tired of lying down these days, so she didn't refuse, and let the old woman carry the soft bag and go to the garden.

The garden is not big, and there is no lake.The flowers and trees support the Soviet Union, and the bamboo forest becomes secluded, which is also elegant.

A high rockery was piled up beside the wall, on which there was an octagonal pavilion with carved doors and windows on all sides, and the height exceeded the wall.

Cen Sanniang got out of her soft bag, and was about to support Baicao's hand to climb up the steps.

An accompanying woman squeezed Baicao away, held her by the arm, and said with a smile on her face, "Old woman, please help San Niangzi up."

Cen Sanniang's heart tightened, she turned her head subconsciously, only to see that both Baicao and Zhiqiu were stopped by the women who followed.Is there anyone in the gazebo?Can hide past the first day but not the fifteenth day, Cen Sanniang glanced at the woman and said softly: "Just wait here, I'll go and see the scenery above."

Going up to the rockery, the carved wooden door of the gazebo opened, Kong Qing came out, bowed to Cen Sanniang, and said softly, "Please, Sanniang."

Sure enough, it was him.Cen Sanniang took a deep breath, raised her skirt and stepped over the threshold.With a creak behind him, Kong Qing closed the wooden door.

The carved wooden window facing the courtyard was open. He stood by the window, and the sun was rising, casting a ray of golden yellow on his side face.Cen Sanniang thought of the Roman sculptures in the sun.Not only is he tall, rich and handsome, but he also comes from the royal family. Why does he have a cramp to stare at him?

King Teng turned around and looked at Cen Sanniang with a slight smile: "I originally wanted to take you to your grandfather's house in Chang'an. From my point of view, your grandfather will treat you well. I meant it out of kindness, but you are self-willed and bear a grudge." Seeing your grandfather, I don’t want to go. I have no choice but to find a way to bring you here. Do you feel much more comfortable than Cen Mansion in Longzhou?”

Co-authoring him is out of good intentions, but I am self-willed.Cen Sanniang smiled angrily, still looking like she was thinking of her.

Teng Dynasty waved her: "The Linjiang Pavilion in the Junjun Mansion has a good view. Come here."

When I was a kitten or puppy, I waved my hand and rushed towards you with my tail?Cen Sanniang stood reservedly, and sharply refuted his words: "I am more comfortable in Longzhou than here! You tried to trick me into coming here! When I saw you that night, I was so scared that I fainted!"

King Teng couldn't help laughing, "I was so scared that I fainted..."

He walked up to Cen Sanniang in two steps.

Cen Sanniang straightened her back nervously.

He reached out to hold her hand, and gently pulled her to the window: "Look, the sky is high and the clouds are wide. How can you see such a beautiful view in the courtyard of Longzhou?"

The wide river came into view.Sunshine dyed the water of the river brilliantly. Under the morning glow, egrets flew over the Shazhou in the middle of the river, and smoke rose from the fisherman’s shack among the reeds—Cen Sanniang especially remembered looking out from the narrow alley of Cen’s house in Longzhou, the sky Divided into tall lines.

He is seducing her.He is the only one in Hongzhou.Uncle Santang's family willingly deceived his niece to send him to please him.As long as you promise him, she, Cen Sanniang, will change from a Longzhou snail to a Hongzhou hairy crab.How to walk sideways is up to her.

But why?

Cen Sanniang is not really only 13 years old.The more he is like this, the more nervous she is.The fate of pigs after being fattened is to be killed and eaten.

She took a step back and looked up at him bravely: "Who are you? You value courtesy so much, you must ask for it. What does the nobleman need San Niang for?"

"The first emperor granted me the title of King Teng. Today, I am appointed as the governor and governor of Hongzhou. My name is Yuanying." Prince Teng told her with a smile, and said solemnly, "I need you to stay by my side. Would you like it?"

Cen Sanniang replied without thinking: "I don't want to. I'm already engaged."

King Teng looked at her: "You will be willing."

Cen Sanniang repeated stubbornly: "I don't want to!"

King Teng's face sank: "You don't want to?"

There was a cold light in the depths of his eyes, which made Cen Sanniang shudder. She squeezed her cheeks and smiled: "I was joking. Don't mind."

King Teng was overjoyed, and skipped this question directly: "I heard that you are much better, so I will find time to visit you today. When you are well, I will take you hunting on horseback."

He walked past Cen Sanniang, opened the door, and left along the other side of the rockery with Kong Qing.

Not long after, two riders galloped past the gazebo.The plain blue satin cloak flew up, he suddenly grabbed the horse, turned his head to look at Cen Sanniang, smiled, and whipped the horse away.

Cen Sanniang stared blankly at the two riders walking away, and suddenly felt dizzy as if being hit in the head by the 500 million jackpot.

To have the self-consciousness of being regarded as a crab by others, and to walk with your head shrunk like a snail is no good.Cen Sanniang sat back at the table in the pavilion, looked outside, and at some point the old woman who was helping her was standing at the door with her hands down.

"Ask Baicao and Zhiqiu to wait on me. Lunch is here. Make a pot of tea, I like to drink loose tea. I have been ill for a few days, and my mouth has no taste. Hongzhou Linjiang, let's make some river fresh food." Cen Sanniang did not hesitate. Kindly order.

"Yes!" The woman saluted respectfully and went.

Baicao rushed up almost at the speed of a [-]-meter race.Staring at the almond-eyed searchlights, he swept around the pavilion, lying on the window sill and looking out.Baicao was very puzzled by the gazebo where only Cen Sanniang was alone. She pouted and said, "Third lady, you have been here alone for so long? Why did they stop us from coming up to serve you?"

Zhiqiu didn't ask a word, and stood obediently behind Cen Sanniang.

Cen Sanniang rolled her eyes at Baicao: "Are you still questioning the master? Have you forgotten the rules?"

Baicao bowed her head after being scolded, and said: "The servants are dying of anxiety..."

Cen Sanniang went on to talk about her: "This is the backyard of the Junjun mansion, my third uncle's mansion. What could happen? Look at Zhiqiu, he is much more calm than you. Do you think we are still in the inner courtyard of the old mansion in Longzhou? If you can't change your frizzy temper, leave my side as soon as possible, and I will release your body and let you go."

"Your servant is wrong, third lady, don't drive your servant away." Baicao knelt down with a thud.Xing's eyes were filled with tears, and she was so terrified that she didn't know what to do.

Cen Sanniang ignored her, and talked to Zhiqiu seemingly casually: "Zhiqiu, which place are you in charge of next to your grandma?"

Zhiqiu replied respectfully: "The servant combs the old lady's hair and takes care of her clothes."

Cen Sanniang said with a smile: "Since that's the case, you will be in charge of my clothes and jewelry from now on. In the past, the nanny combed my hair. She is getting old and her hands are not as skillful as yours. From now on, you can comb my hair."

Zhiqiu's face showed joy: "This servant will serve the good girl wholeheartedly."

After eating, Cen Sanniang got up and went back, and then let Baicao get up.

In the evening, when Mrs. Xu went to bed, Cen Sanniang softly told her about the day's events: "...if he confronts hard, he will lose his face. Throwing an egg against a rock, let's forget it. People have to bow their heads under the eaves, so it's better to wait for another chance. I can live better myself."

"The great-grandmother must have known about it a long time ago. Zhiqiu knows how to comb my hair and match clothes and jewelry. My great-grandmother sent her to me for a very clear purpose. She wanted me to dress up beautifully to please the nobles."

"Zhiqiu is also beautiful in appearance. She is clever and knows how to advance and retreat, and she has seen some worlds with the old lady. But she has a bad heart. Today I scolded Baicao, but she didn't intercede for Baicao, and she didn't even say a good word. I think she must be With the advice of the old lady, if I want to squeeze Baicao to gain my trust, I might also want to squeeze into the bed of a nobleman."

"I always feel that he has other reasons for wanting me to stay by his side. He is only in his twenties, and he is handsome. He was crowned king and held a high position when he was young. What kind of beauty can't be obtained? Maybe... I can find it." Another way, if you don't become his concubine, it won't make him angry."

Cen Sanniang whispered and listened to the nanny.

Xu suddenly remembered something: "Couldn't he be the youngest prince of the late emperor? The emperor's uncle today? If you want to count... your grandfather is a generation younger than him. He is your cousin."

Cen Sanniang was taken aback, cousin uncle?When we meet again some other day and she calls him like that, what expression will that handsome face have?She couldn't help laughing when she thought about it, and asked hopefully, "Has the fifth suit been released?"

Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "Your maternal grandfather was adopted into the lineage of Xiangwu County King, but he is of the same clan as the Li family. They are really relatives by generation, you have nothing to do with him at all."

Cen Sanniang sighed in disappointment, but she also remembered something: "Prince Teng Li Yuanying? I can memorize the preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng. I wonder if he has started construction now?"

She tried her best to find the memory of King Teng in her memory, but in the end she had no other impression except a preface to King Teng's Pavilion.This Tang Dynasty matter is right and wrong, even if she remembers the history, but Emperor Gaozong does not have Wu Meiniang who is favored by him, everything is useless.

The third wife was enthusiastic and attentive, and took care of Cen Sanniang in every possible way.After raising her for more than a month, Cen Sanniang can feel her flesh again.
