concubine leisurely

Chapter 111

On the purplish red, smooth and smooth old mahogany desk, there is a delicate and small golden gourd-shaped incense burner, emitting a delicate fragrance.

On this cold autumn night, this faint fragrance seems to be able to soothe the nerves and make people feel much more peaceful; Liu's mother watched Zhong's lying on the bed, slowly closed her eyes, and gradually fell asleep before blowing out the fragrance. Turned on the lights, and quietly retreated out.

Ma'am, why bother?What's the benefit of arguing with the master for no reason.Mother Liu was thinking and sighing. The wife is full of children and grandchildren, and she is still as innocent and self-willed as a young girl.

Many ladies in the capital are busy and happy tonight, and Mrs. Zhong is one of them.Knowing that Father Meng loves Youran, she prefers to mention with interest that "the fifth uncle was drinking at Deng's house, and he asked a dancer to return home"; Father Meng originally hugged a grandson in his left hand and a grandson in his right hand to tease the grandson. Yan Yuese and Meng Zhengxuan and Meng Zhengxian were gossiping with each other again, as soon as Zhong said this, the father was stunned, put his grandson back into his son's arms, and went straight out of the house.

Mrs. Zhong urgently ordered Madam Liu to invite Father Meng back, and dismissed everyone, pulling Father Meng to reason, "Partial! Xiner is also pregnant with a child, why don't you see the master often visit her? Going to Pingping every two days. Go to the Beihou Mansion! Only the fifth girl is your own?"

Father Meng said gently, "Xin'er has her own parents-in-law to take care of her. If I often go to the Princess Funing's mansion, how decent is it? You'er has his own mansion, and there are no elders in the family to teach him. I don't care anymore. Could it be that the two Children messing around?"

Zhong's eyes were red, "There are parents-in-laws who are taking care of her, and her parents-in-law are also controlling her! Is Xiner's life easy? The master should think about her more." Xin Ran has been pregnant for more than four months, and Princess Funing takes care of her daughter-in-law with all her heart. He worked hard, taking care of his son was even more important. He prepared two clever and pretty girls early on and rewarded his son as a roommate.

Although Xin Ran has a bunch of girls and women serving her, she is not allowed to share the same bed with her husband, and her heart is also bitter. When Zhong Shi went to visit the princess' mansion, she would often pull Zhong Shi into love and act like a baby.Zhong's love for her daughter was endless.

Father Meng sighed, "That's how it is when you marry into a noble family. The eldest princess is doing things properly. What can we say?" It is common for pregnant couples to live apart, and it is also common for pregnant wives and husbands to be served by the housekeeper. There is nothing to say.

"Poor my Xin'er, life is not as good as that of the fifth girl." Zhong cried sadly.Xin Ran has to be subject to all kinds of restrictions, but Lei Ran is free and at ease. The life of a concubine's daughter is not as comfortable as that of a maidservant's daughter, why is this so.

Father Meng frowned slightly, but still patiently forgave his wife, "You should go and see Xiner more. Princess Funing has a generous temperament, and she treats Xiner kindly and affectionately. Xiner's life is not bad, Madam don't think about it."

Zhong said angrily, "I'm going to persuade the master not to think about it! The fifth son-in-law just brought a dancing girl back to the house, what's the big deal? The fifth daughter is a married woman, we don't care about it, the master must not get involved in this matter."

"Young man, it's not uncommon for him not to think carefully about things and to handle things improperly. If my father-in-law doesn't teach him, who will teach him?" Father Meng made a serious face, extremely displeased.

"Master, why don't you teach Sixth Young Master?" Zhong was furious.This guy Ren Lei, his wife is pregnant with a child, and he and the pretty girl are tender, why don't you care about it as a father-in-law?

"Sixth Uncle was taught by his parents." Father Meng was very helpless.Ren Lei has a father, a mother, a grandmother, and an uncle, so it's his turn to speak as a father-in-law.

"The fifth son-in-law also has a father and a mother!" Zhong was trembling with anger, "Isn't the son-in-law his real father?"

Father Meng closed his eyes and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. After a while, he opened his eyes and said slowly, "Yes, he has a real father. But he went to the battlefield at the age of nine, and was ordered to set up his own family at the age of 16. Over the years , Come and go in the wind and rain, who will take pity? Whether it is the future or the family, it all depends on one's own plan." How did his own father teach him.

Zhang Ming once euphemistically mentioned to Zhang Bing that he wanted to meet his in-laws, but Father Meng didn't say a word.In his heart, Father Meng despised Zhang Ming very much.A man whose own son couldn't take care of him was left to Zhang and fend for himself.Such a person waits, what face is a father.

"A man, once he has a child, he must give birth to him and bring him up." This is Father Meng's creed.It doesn't matter if you are a son, a concubine, a daughter, a concubine, or even a child born to an outsider, you are a big man who can't give birth to children but is not easy to raise.

Father Meng gently persuaded his wife for a long time, but Zhong burst into tears, "I, I look forward to the master's return all day long, but the master lives in Dongsi Hutong for half a month; even when he returns home, he just teases his grandson and sleeps in the study. , I'm a badass."

"I'm getting old," Father Meng said gently, "My wife isn't young anymore. Isn't it good that we are friendly and have grandchildren?"

"Not good, not good," Zhong's tears fell like broken threads, "I want Master to accompany me every day and every night."

"Ma'am," Father Meng sighed, "I have to be busy with official duties. There are so many affairs in the etiquette department, and it takes a lot of energy. My energy is getting worse day by day. Madam, please sympathize with me."

After a while of consolation, Father Meng finally broke away his wife's hand that was tightly holding on to his skirt, and ordered Mother Liu to "help the wife in to rest", turned around and left the house, ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and went to Pingbei Hou Mansion.

Dancing girl!The precious girl is only pregnant with a child, this brat dares to bring a dancing girl home!I, You'er, don't know how sad it is.Father Meng was full of murderous intent, and wanted to settle accounts with his son-in-law, who was hopeless and hopeless.

When he arrived at Pingbeihou's mansion, he was welcomed in by the steward.When we arrived at the hall, I saw leisurely sitting on a rose chair under the light, with a silly expression on his face; Zhang Jue stood beside her, his face sinking like water; Father Meng was heartbroken, and stepped forward to comfort him softly, "Good girl, Mo Duo thinks, there is a father."

You Ran looked a little strange, as if she was sleepwalking, she didn't say hello when she saw her father, she just stretched out her cold little hand and held her father, "Daddy, she looks really scary, come and take a look."

Holding her father with one hand and her husband with the other, she leisurely returned to the room that made her stunned just now.

There are two rooms inside and outside.There is a pair of dense bead curtains hanging in the middle. Sitting inside, you can clearly see the outside room, but you can't see the inside room from the outside room.

The father was frightened by his daughter's expression, followed her gaze and looked outside, and was also dumbfounded for a moment.

In the outer room, Nanny Hang was sitting at the table at the top, and a woman in yellow was standing at the bottom.This yellow-clothed woman doesn't wear makeup, her face is facing the sky, she looks almost exactly like You Ran.

It wasn't the first time Youran and Zhang saw this woman in yellow, but they were still calm; Father Meng gasped and almost cried out in shock.

Nanny Hang's voice was very gentle and sweet, "Miss, let's tell the truth, who are you?" There are people in the world who look alike, but it is unusual for this prostitute to be exactly the same as his wife.

The woman in yellow smiled sweetly, and said coquettishly, "I've said it ten times just now. I was sold when I was a child. I really can't remember my parents and family." Her smile made people feel charming, very charming, It is charming to the bone, and the smell of wind and dust is really strong.

Father Meng was terrified.No wonder Zhang Bing wanted to ask the dancing girl back.It's really not good for such a similar woman to fall into prostitution.

"Is the girl's surname Huang?" Nanny Hang asked very politely.

"I just like to wear yellow clothes." The woman in yellow smiled cleverly. "As for the last name, I don't know. I only know my stage name and it's called Nightingale."

This woman in yellow called Nightingale was about the same height as Youran, her facial features were very similar, but her temperament was completely different, You Ran was clear and bright, while the woman in yellow was charming and charming, with a hint of obscenity.

Nanny Hang has lived in the palace for a long time, and has seen many concubines and beauties in the palace, but she has never seen a prostitute, so she doesn't know what to do.When he was helpless, he heard the woman in yellow say in a charming voice, "Mama, are you going to serve the Lord Hou as a servant tonight?" When she spoke, her eyes rolled, which was very captivating.

When he arrived at the Hou's mansion, he was thrown into the bathtub and washed thoroughly, "Wash off all the makeup!" The majestic man's voice ordered, is it possible that this Hou Ye only likes women without makeup?
Her plain makeup is not bad, the woman in yellow is very confident in her appearance.Isn't it because of this good looks that he can live so smoothly.

"I will serve Lord Hou well," Nightingale said with a chuckle, "I will do whatever I want."

Nanny Hang had never heard such a thing before, she blushed, and wanted to curse "obscene!" But she was afraid of the situation, so she didn't dare to speak.If this nightingale really has something to do with Madam, alas.

Here, Nanny Hang couldn't find out the origin of the woman in yellow, and was deeply distressed.Over there, the Meng family's father, daughter, and Zhang looked at each other in blank dismay, but they couldn't make any sense.

"I thought she looked a little like Youran, and I wanted to bring her back to the mansion and find a good man to marry her, which would be considered a merit." Zhang Bing was unhappy, it was out of good intentions, the dancer looked a little like his wife after all. , couldn't bear her to be reduced to prostitution, "Who knew that after returning home, she washed off her makeup and frightened me."

Zhang Bing first stared at it by himself for a long time, only to wake up when the woman in yellow posted it and pestered him, so he hurriedly pulled You Ran to watch it.

On the way, he remembered that the woman in yellow came here strangely, she must not let her know the truth, and she must not let her see leisurely.Then he ordered Nanny Hang to decorate it, and He Youran waited and watched in the room.

After this wait and see, Youran, who was originally high-spirited, was dumbfounded.

"Find a farmer's family and marry her." All three of them had thought this way.Thinking about it carefully is not feasible.

This nightingale has slender fingers, she is obviously used to food and clothing, and she has an obscene look, how can she be willing to be a village woman?
If you talk about marrying a wealthy family, which wealthy family is willing to marry such a person as a regular wife, unless it is a concubine.If she really has some relationship with You Ran, it would not be a glorious thing for her to be a concubine.

I'm even more afraid, this woman in yellow didn't appear for no reason, if someone behind her wants to make trouble with the Pingbeihou Mansion?

In any case, this prostitute who looks exactly like You Ran is too dazzling.

"How do you cover this woman?" All three of them felt headaches.
