Second-hand lady

Chapter 47

With the first snowfall after winter, the weather in the capital is getting colder and colder. Miss Rucui likes to hold two little foxes in her arms and do other things on the warm kang when she is free. It looks so comfortable. People envy, envy and hate.

At least Wen Liang saw it with envy, envy and hatred, and began to dislike the group of teenagers who came uninvited every day and took up his time, so the teenagers grew up rapidly amidst someone's brutal tossing.

"Master Wen, if you find it troublesome, why don't you accept them as students?" Miss Rucui said.In this way, they will not come to torture people every day.

Wen Liang kicked off his shoes, climbed onto the kang, squeezed the two foxes away, and stood next to Ercui who was warmed up. By the way, he put his slightly cold hands directly into her sleeves, seeing that she was frozen Shivering, the corners of his lips could not help but curl up.

Miss Rucui watched the two foxes being squeezed to the ground like two balls of white fur, and rolled around a few times before stopping. Her heart ached, she wanted to pick them up, but she was afraid that Master Wen would be more cruel next time. I have to treat them badly, so I have to wrong them for the time being.

"It's too troublesome." Wen Liang lazily rebuffed, "Let's not talk about their identities, if I take them in as students now, the princes will definitely not be able to resist..." The last sentence came in a very low voice.The princes are getting older, no matter which camp they stand in, it is not good for him now.What he wants is a win-win situation in the end, rather than putting all his eggs in one basket and betting on whom.

Ru Cui leaned into his ear thoughtfully, and whispered: "The emperor is in his prime, the princes should not dare to make any big moves, right?"

The jet-black jade pupils met those clear and smiling pupils, and after looking at each other for a few seconds, Wen Liang put his hands on her cheeks and rubbed her cheeks, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't think about anything, those boys Although it is a plastic material, it is hard to say what will happen in the future." Pinching the bridge of his nose, "The head of Qingshan Academy has always hoped that I can take time to teach students there in my free time, but I refused."

The reason why the head of Qingshan Academy is so keen to invite Wen Liang to teach at the academy when he is free is because of Wen Liang's talent and current reputation. If Wen Liang is willing to teach students in the academy, it will be of great benefit to Qingshan Academy. Not only will it make the academy famous, but the students who get his guidance will also benefit a lot, and it will serve multiple purposes.

"Does Master Wen have any plans?" Miss Rucui asked knowingly.

The handsome man leaned against her like a cartilaginous animal, his chin rubbed against her shoulder, and then a white and slender finger pointed to the tangerines on the small table on the kang, motioning for Miss Ercui to peel the oranges for him. .

Miss Ercui was already prepared for his lazyness, seeing him huddled in a shapeless ball next to her, like a child, how could he be unrestrained and coquettish in front of outsiders, and have the confidence to point out the world, she felt amused and Soft, willingly took a tangerine and peeled it, carefully removed the white coat, and then took it to feed him.

"It's cold now, and I don't want to suffer by climbing the mountain in the wind and snow. When the weather warms up next spring, I will consider accepting the request from the head of Qingshan Academy." Wen Liang squinted his eyes, enjoying the sweet and sour tangerine while thinking He said, "Besides, my "Tongcheng Art of War" is coming to an end. The emperor hopes that I will publish the art of war and include it in the Royal Library."

Hearing this, Miss Rucui looked surprised, stuffed the remaining tangerine into his mouth, turned around and put her arms around his neck, and asked, "Really? Will the book be published?"

Miss Rucui was pleasantly surprised, but poor Mrs. Wen, who was suddenly stuffed with a big mouthful of tangerines, almost choked to death.Miss Rucui was a little guilty, so she quickly patted him on the back and gave him comfort.

Seeing her smiling eyebrows and eyes, Wen Liang's mood suddenly brightened: "I don't know yet, let the emperor decide."

Miss Rucui was sincerely happy for him, what could be more gratifying than the results of her husband's hard work to be noticed?Touching his handsome face, Rucui said softly, "Miss Wen has worked hard. Today I will cook for you personally. I will cook your favorite grilled lamb chops with secret sauce and sweet and sour pork ribs, okay?"

Wen Liang secretly laughed, but it would be a fool to push out the benefits of being delivered to the door, so naturally it was agreed.

When the couple were getting bored, a maid's voice sounded outside the door, saying that the young masters had arrived and wanted to see Wen Liang.

Wen Liang's cheerful face immediately turned dark, and under Miss Rucui's funny eyes, she reluctantly got up and went to torment the boys who came to her door.

After Wen Liang left, Miss Rucui carried the two poor little foxes who had been kicked off the kang back to the kang, picked up an unfinished cloak that was placed next to it, twisted up threads and embroidered bamboo on the hem of the cloak.

At this time, Tsing Yi came in with hot tea, saw the man's cloak in Miss Rucui's hand, covered her lips and smiled ambiguously, and said, "Ma'am, it's snowing outside again, you have to close the window close?"

Miss Rucui looked out of the window subconsciously, just in time to see the snowflakes hanging on the big tree in the yard that had lost all its leaves. The sky was gray and fine snowflakes were falling from the sky.

"No need, this snow is so beautiful, I feel sleepy after seeing it." Miss Rucui said casually, her hands kept on working. ,

"..."

The corner of Tsing Yi's mouth twitched, she turned her head to look at the snow outside the window, why did she only feel cold but not sleepy?
At this time, Lan Yi came in through the curtain and said, "Madam, Grandma Sun of the Duke of Zhen's Mansion has come to greet you."

Hearing this, Miss Rucui knew that something was going on, it was too cold outside, she was too lazy to get up, so she asked Lanyi to bring Nanny Sun in.

After a while, the curtain was raised again, and the blue clothes came in. Behind her was a not-so-acquainted nanny. Seeing the woman in a fiery red fur coat lazily nestling on the kang, the disdain in her eyes couldn't be stopped. .But because Miss Rucui's previous deeds were too cruel, no matter what she thought in her heart, Nanny Sun respectfully paid her respects.

"Grandma Sun has worked hard, tea in blue clothes." Rucui put down the cloak that was almost embroidered, and smiled and asked Grandma Sun to sit down. "I don't know what's the matter with Grandma Sun today? Is it because the mother is not feeling well? Or is the fourth sister losing her temper again? Or the sister-in-law can't eat anymore and wants me to go back and have a look?"

Miss Rucui narrated all the excuses for the Duke of Zhen's mansion to invite her to return to the mansion of the country in one breath, and she heard black lines all over her face in Tsing Yi and blue clothes, and Nanny Sun's expression was dull.You really won't die if you don't say a few words!And your expression of being ready to get up and go back at any time is amazing?Are you sure you're not cursing them?
"...No, the third young lady misunderstood." Mammy replied with a stiff face, feeling extremely uncomfortable in her heart.These three young ladies are really... unbearable.

"Really? That's good!" Miss Rucui patted her chest and said, "You know, these things have happened too much recently, and I often go back to visit the two elders, and I am very worried about my father and mother. What Ning said was a serious injury. When I went back last time, the fourth younger sister lost her temper for some reason. She didn’t even eat and smashed things. The reputation of the fourth younger sister is also bad, and if it is spread outside, saying that the fourth younger sister is moody, isn't it frightening those young gentlemen? Don't you think so?"

"..."

Mammy's expression became more and more rigid, and she thought that as long as you don't anger them when you go back, they will be fine.And it's not your fault that Fourth Miss loses her temper so much.

Now all the servants of the Zhen Guogong Mansion know about the disagreement between Madam, First Young Madam and Fourth Young Lady and Third Young Madam, but no matter what reason Madam uses to call Third Young Madam back to serve, the result is that they break up unhappy. Not to mention the fact that Madam was not sick, she would be suppressed by the third young lady, and the fourth young lady was still young, so she could only be jumping up and down when she was angry. Only the third young lady remained calm .And this calm appearance is even more annoying.

"Cough, please worry about the third young lady. Ma'am, everything is fine. The old slave is here to tell the third young lady that it will be the master's [-]th birthday in three days. Madam asked the old slave to tell you, please go back with the third young master." Congratulations to the old man."

Miss Rucui was surprised, and immediately said solemnly: "It's natural, please tell parents, my husband and I will definitely go back when the time comes!"

Nanny seemed to be relieved, and her tense face also relaxed a little, and finally she was in the mood to deal with the troublesome problems of the third young lady.

After talking for a while, Mammy finally took her leave after drinking the pot of hot tea.

After Mammy left, Tsing Yi pursed her lips and asked, "Ma'am, I haven't asked your lord about this matter, is it wrong for you to agree so rashly?"

"Why is it wrong?" Miss Rucui didn't think there was any problem, and said calmly: "As a child, it's not like going out, if you don't even go back for your father's birthday, it's a big problem. People outside know I know how to say Mr. Wen."

The corners of Tsing Yi's mouth twitched, and Fang whispered: "Madam, I heard that your lord has not returned to the manor to celebrate the birthday of Lord Zhen Guo for more than ten years. I can’t go back to my residence to attend Duke Zhen’s birthday.”

Miss Rucui nodded, still very calm, "So this year Mr. Wen is in Beijing, and there is no war, so there is no reason not to go back, right?"

Tsing Yi and Lan Yi looked at each other in blank dismay, and suddenly felt that their wife's stupid appearance was helpless.

Forget it, it's up to the madam to talk to the adults about this matter, and it's enough for them servants to keep their duties.

At night, after the husband and wife "fighted", when Wen Liang hugged someone soft and started to fall asleep, the person who used to fall asleep before him every time lay beside his ear and whispered: "Master Wen, Grandma Sun from the Duke’s Mansion came over today and said that my father’s 50th birthday will be three days later, so let’s go back to celebrate my father’s birthday, and I have already agreed.”

For a moment, Rucui could feel the stiffness of the people beside her, and it took a long time for her to relax slowly.

The sound of wind and snow whistling outside the window was particularly loud in the middle of the night, and the windows that were not closed were occasionally blown against the lattice by the wind, making a crackling sound.

Wen Liang suddenly got up without warning.

The quilt was lifted, and the cold air rushed in, making her shiver.

"Master Wen." She straightened up and couldn't help calling out.

The man sitting by the bed turned his back to her, and after kicking off his shoes, Fang said calmly, "I'll go to the study for a while, you sleep first."

Seeing him go out in the dark without even turning on the light, Miss Rucui fell back on the bed, stared blankly at the darkness, then turned over and turned her face to the inside of the bed, forcing herself to fall asleep.

After tossing and turning for a quarter of an hour, Miss Rucui found in frustration that she was tired but couldn't fall asleep.
