concubine daughter

Chapter 12

Liang Chu lamented that people in the world don't think about danger in times of peace, they only care about the present and don't think about the future.

At this time, a man in green gauze appeared on your side. The man had a tall body and handsome features. Although he was not very old, he looked old-fashioned, with his hands behind his back, reciting a poem: The slanting water is clear and shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the moon dusk."

"It's elegant and peaceful." Man Qing and Liang Chu looked at each other and nodded.

Liang Chufu replied, "Grandma, that's fourth master."

Man Qing looked at Hong Yi thoughtfully, and it turned out that he was the second wife's favorite young master.

Hong Yi was the same age as Man Qing, with the same calmness as Man Qing, walking vigorously on the gravel road between the two.

"Don't be surprised by favor or disgrace, just watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; go and stay without any intention, just follow the clouds in the sky." Man Qing deliberately attracted Hong Yi's attention, and walked down the attic alone.

Man Qing said to Hong Yi Fushen, "Fourth master, I am the third master's maid, just now I listened to the fourth master's poems, and thought that the fourth master was like-minded with me, so I went to the cabinet to welcome him. Fourth master came back from studying, why didn't you come to the lobby Come to this cold Wisteria Pavilion instead of celebrating?"

Hong Yi bowed to Man Qing, "I will tell you my sister-in-law, this place is quiet and elegant, and it is my favorite place. Every time I go back to the mansion, I will go here first, and then go to salute my parents. People who feel that she is extraordinary, and now seeing the third sister-in-law again, believe in a sentence: there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people."

"Fourth Master has won the award. It can be seen that Fourth Master is a straightforward person. If this is the case, I don't have to beat around the bush." ​​Man Qing maintained her usual smile, her hair fluttered in the autumn wind, and the hairpin on her hair The pendant made a pleasant sound of jade objects colliding, like listening to fairy music.

Hong Yi kept a certain distance from Man Qing all the time, so as not to be offended, he lowered his eyes respectfully and asked: "Sister-in-law San, do you want something?"

Man Qing smiled faintly, "It's not a big deal, it's just that Fourth Master's return home is a great joy, I want to add joy to the joy."

Hong Yi listened patiently, started to walk along the path with Man Qing.

"There is a girl in the General's Mansion who thinks she is about to marry Ji. She is called Yiyi. She is only half a year younger than me. She is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Pianfang. She is slender and pretty. She is just like a talented woman with Fourth Master. I wonder if Fourth Master intends to get along with her?"

Man Qing asked cautiously, never daring to look into Hong Yi's eyes.

"Mother asked you to introduce me, right? She wants me to be the eldest son, so she wants me to get married soon and give birth to the eldest grandson." Hong Yi pointed it out. He knew that others would not come to talk to him without a reason. All for their own benefit.

"Yiyi is a considerate girl, I hope fourth master can think about it." Man Qing resigned and left, Yun Zhi and Liang Chu hurriedly stepped down to follow Man Qing's pace.

The three returned to Liuxiangyuan together, and suddenly met Jun Xi.

Jun Xi must be uneasy and kind when he comes here this time.

"Sister Manqing is so courageous, she dared to allow Yunzhi to wear relics for Xiri and plain clothes for Liangchu! Come here and teach them for Madam!" Jun Xi was dressed in a bright red robe, embroidered with a few graceful and luxurious flowers. Peony, dressed in delicious clothes, has an ugly expression on her face, which puts Man Qing in a dilemma.

"I want to see who dares to touch my people in Liuxiangyuan!" Supported by Jinxuan and Wenchen, Hongzhen walked slowly to Manqing's side, glaring at Junxi, faintly domineering, there is something that the third master should deserve Some posture.

Seeing Hong Zhen coming, Jun Xi ordered Qingyi to stop, and said to Hong Zhen with a smile, "Why did the third master come to Xiangyiju suddenly? I was joking with my sister."

Hongzhen smirked a few times, and asked back with a sting: "What? I haven't seen you for a few months, and the second sister-in-law has learned to lie? People's temperaments change really quickly, just like the second sister-in-law's face. Candle and Qiu Rong, no wonder the second day of first marriage you have to make up to look haggard, I guess the second sister-in-law won't be favored by the second brother, and the queen mother will blame you, right?"

Every word hit Jun Xi's vitals, making Jun Xi tremble.

Hongzhen deliberately hugged Manqing, and continued to say playfully: "The lady is different, she has my caress, she doesn't need to make up to look haggard, and she won't act like the second sister-in-law."

Jun Xi's sleeves were secretly torn by himself, and the palms of his hands were pierced red by the dyed armor. He said stubbornly, "Where did the third master hear this? The concubine and the second master raised eyebrows and respected each other like guests. Why do you need to deceive me with makeup?" people?"

"Since you love each other, why is the second sister-in-law still free to come to Liuxiangyuan? Second sister-in-law is not lying again, is she?"

Jun Xi laughed a few times, "I just came to see my sister."

"Then...have you finished reading it?" Hongzhen signaled to chase away the guests, "If you finish reading it, please go back, my wife and I are still going to have a good time."

Man Qing's face flushed instantly, and she looked at the ground helplessly.

Jun Xi walks away in shame.

Yun Zhi and Liang Chu covered their mouths and snickered, at some point, the servants beside them all backed away.

Man Qing shyly pushed Hongzhen away, the blush on Man Qing's face remained unfinished, "How could you just talk nonsense? What if it reaches the second lady's ears..." Man Qing paused, but didn't say anything. go on.

Hongzhen guessed the intention of the rich man, and he couldn't help sighing, "She played this kind of trick again, but it's a pity that she missed it."

"Chess missed a move?" Man Qing boldly met Shang Hongzhen's smirking eyes, and immediately understood what he meant.

Hong Zhen brushed Man Qing's strands of hair, feeling like a spring breeze, "My lady is extremely smart, she can guess without me answering."

Man Qing smiled lightly, and said duplicity: "I don't like an ambitious young master who is dying of illness!" After speaking, she turned around, with a sweet smile on her mouth, and walked into Xiangyi Residence.

Hong Zhen watched Man Qing walk away step by step, the corners of his eyes curved like a crooked moon.

A few days later, the second wife summoned Hongzhen to go to Hanbiju. Hongzhen wanted to refuse to go, but he was afraid of leaving something for her, so he asked Wenchen to accompany him.

When I first arrived at Hanbiju, everything was calm, saluting, condolences, and drinking tea. From the perspective of outsiders, this is a picture of a loving mother and son.

"Since it is said to be polite, I wonder what Hongzhen thinks about rituals?" Madam's question disturbed Cai's loving mother and son's filial piety just now.The wife's joy is easy to express, but it is so false.

The saddest thing in the world is this. Others clearly know her hypocrisy, but she still pretends to be so real.
