Chapter 1290 Shufang Pavilion
Shufangting.⊙,
After hearing Xilan's teasing, Hongwen, who had a slightly blushing face, immediately laughed and scolded: "You are so damn girl, you are used to being tricky. I'm afraid that I'll say you're slow, so I'll talk about your feet and head first, so why do you feel dizzy? Humph, you don't have to talk too much, I understand your thoughts."
Xilan smiled and said, "I just want my grandma to understand my thoughts, what else do I have to say?"
Hongwen gave her a blank look, while Xilan looked at Mu Ming who was stunned and said, "If I had known you were still talking here, I might as well ask you to get tea for me just now, hehe! Wouldn't it save you foot pain and dizziness?"
For a moment, Mu Ming had nothing to say, so he had to blush and laugh it off.
"Grandma, sit for a while, I'll go out for a walk." Xilan took the opportunity to go out for a while.
Hongwen thought she said this on purpose and said unhappily: "Where are you going to go foolishly again? Don't leave, I'm going back."
Xilan said dissatisfiedly: "You old man really doesn't care about us. Naturally, I have a place to go. Could it be that I would say it clearly in front of him? I clearly explained it just now."
After saying that, she didn't care about the couple being together, and she went to find someone to play with without looking back.
Is this dead girl still daring to control me? Hongwen couldn't help but feel a little angry. Then she thought, the girl might not see through anything. She was just a child who was greedy for play. Maybe it was because of the intimidation and convenience, or maybe she used this to show that she was in the same heart as me.
Mu Ming looked at Xilan's jumping figure and smiled and said, "This Xilan girl has also been tempered. I remember that she didn't dare to say a word loudly in the first two years of her arrival. Now she is so erotic and good at saying a few naughty words."
Hongwen smiled and said casually: "Any girl's family is so old that she thinks of making trouble. She thinks she understands why she actually knows what she knows? She just talks nonsense."
As she said that, she remembered something and asked, "You have been repairing the deacon in the garden for half a month, right? Why didn't you come to the top to get the money and get the things changed?"
"I have received it several times, and I have all replied to Grandma Shen." Mu Ming said casually.
Hongwen, who didn't want to smile, suddenly turned cold and said to herself, "Sure enough, you are a group of people with no conscience. Now you only recognize the new grandmothers, and are scrambling to flatter you. Humph! It's not necessarily that people just say a good thing for you and give you an errand. Especially if you are the one I sponsor, will she help you? A joke!"
"This." Mu Ming saw that she suddenly had a cold face and became at a loss.
Who doesn’t know about the recent storm? Hongwen was shameless and deprived of her tutoring? Besides, the two had some affair before, so how dare they run into her house to cause trouble?
Hongwen said slowly, "Okay, you didn't know it was my reason before. You don't blame me if you can't reply to me. Do you know that my wife also sent me to help the head of the family? When Grandma Shen has no free time, you always have to go back and forth to me. Besides, when you go from the garden to her, you have to hit my yard by the gate. Why not come in and ask for peace? You can also see your people's hearts, taking half of my master at the wrong time, seriously? If you stand firm, will you beg me for nothing? I said you have no conscience, but are you wrong?"
"Oh, oh." Mu Ming pretended to be blushing and had a thick neck, and said anxiously: "You really want to kill a good person unjustly. If you don't believe me, ask Miss Xilan. I go to the room to pay my respects every afternoon. Because the weather is hot, I am afraid that Grandma, you are enjoying the cool air. There is something that makes me unable to enter the house. If you say I look down on Grandma, what's the matter? They are all the same masters, do we servants dare to divide each other? Don't talk about you, even the old housekeeper in the mansion for many years, and now that I have retired from the deacon, I dare not look down on him. If you don't believe me, just ask me to make a poisonous oath, can't I give it back immediately?"
Hongwen's face gradually recovered her smile and she curled her lips, "Who wants you to swear? Isn't this wrong? Okay, I'm just complaining in front of you. When I'm sure I'll be careful in the future, I'll be free from the top deacon. If I can help you say something, I'll give you some more efforts."
Mu Ming was extremely happy and immediately knelt on one knee, saying happily: "I would like to thank my grandma for her promotion first. I am willing to go through fire and water, and I will never refuse."
Hongwen smiled with satisfaction. Seeing that she was talking into the alley, she called him up and was about to say a few words of self-contained words, but after all, she was worried that there were ears in the partition walls, so she walked to the railing and looked around to see if there were anyone.
Unexpectedly, he stepped on a banana leaf and suddenly slipped. He was so scared that he was about to fall on his back. Fortunately, Mu Ming rushed over in time and supported her.
In a hurry, Mu Ming's right hand was pressed on Hongwen's right breast. Xia Tian only wore two gauze dresses inside and outside, as if he was touching the flesh directly.
Mu Ming immediately felt half of his body numb, and he felt that an object in his palm was not big or small, soft and boneless, and slippery, instantly caused his blood to surge. He forgot all his worries and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to be a frivolous beauty.
Unexpectedly, Hongwen shrank back and flew to him, and said angrily: "You really want to be dying, don't you look at somewhere?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Xilan whispering loudly on the shore: "Sister Lu'er, come and see. There is a lotus flower in this pond, which is really beautiful."
Hongwen was so scared that she shivered all over and turned around and looked over. Mu Ming was so scared that he took a few steps back, his face pale.
Sure enough, I saw Lu'er and a few maids coming here in the distance, talking and laughing. Xilan stood at the bridge head, and she was about to get on the bridge.
Hongwen was wise in a hurry, and hurriedly winked at Mu Ming, scolding loudly: "You are so unruly. If you have any words to go back to the room, is this the place to reply? And grandma is at home, so if you have any questions, I should ask her to tell you. I don't care about the affairs of this mansion now."
Mu Ming understood, lowered his head and agreed, turned around and left in a hurry.
Both sides met in the middle of the bridge, and Mu Ming deliberately muttered: "What a big deal, I have to report back. I just want to take a shortcut. Is it comfortable to run around in such a hot day? Who knew it would be really unlucky to be scolded."
Lu'er, who came over, said, "I think you can't be considered unlucky, it's still luck!"
"Hmph!" Mu Ming didn't respond, and walked across the bridge with big strides.
By the way, Lu'er was the maid in Du Qianqian's room. A few of them came over and accidentally saw Hongwen and Mu Ming talking in the pavilion. Later, Hongwen walked out and seemed to fall. Mu Ming ran over to support her, and the man and woman had physical contact.
Of course, this is nothing, no one is surprised? But why did Xilan, who had run first, stand on the shore and greet them loudly? It was clearly necessary to let the pavilion know that Lu'er knew that there must be a hidden story here.
At this moment, Hongwen was secretly complaining in her heart. It would be nothing if it were someone else. But when Lu'er and a few girls were met, they would naturally not have a fool who could be selected into Du Qianqian's room. Moreover, there were still some old grudges between each other in the past.
Lu'er looked at Hongwen's face being unnatural and couldn't help but smile, "My aunt is here to enjoy the cool air! It's ridiculous that Mu Ming ran to the pavilion and ran back and forth, but when he ran into a nail, he complained that it was bad luck, and he was trampling around in vain. He asked me to tell him that he was good at taking shortcuts, and how could he be considered bad luck when he went to Shufang Pavilion? It was really luck!"
When Hongwen saw that her words were implicitly sarcastic, it seemed that a scene had just been seen, and she felt more and more distressed. This kind of thing became darker and darker, so she simply stopped talking to avoid making other words.
Hongwen called Xilan lightly: "Let's go back, there are probably no sun shadows in the room."
Unexpectedly, Lu'er has become a vacant since she became a concubine. A few days ago, she was promoted to a first-class maid. I remember the humiliation that Hongwen had suffered for her back then, such as calling her stupid in front of others, and being small-hearted.
Seeing that Hongwen ignored her and looked arrogant, Lu'er also said to Xilan: "Sister Lan, what did you tell me to see? Actually, I saw it on the shore. What is my favorite tandana and tandana flowers. When I see it, I have to fold it back and put it in a bottle to enjoy it. But now I think about it, isn't it a good tandana and I'm not a tandana, who meets me, an uninteresting tandana, and break them up? It's a sin, don't you?"
Hongwen, who walked over, immediately turned dark and did not dare to fight back. How could Xilan not understand that she was pointing at the same time? She couldn't say anything for a while, but she could only smile, "I can't accompany my sisters now, I have to go back with my grandma. After taking a shower, I'll go to my side to enjoy the cool air and talk."
As he said that, he shook his hands at Lu'er and a few others, Xilan hurriedly chased Hongwen.
Lu'er sneered here and took Xiang'er beside her and followed her back, leaving behind a few confused little girls.
After getting ashore, Hongwen's master and servant quickly disappeared behind the rockery. Lu'er said to Xiang'er: "Did you just see the situation between ** and Mu Ming? I knew that the master and wife were not at home, so ** would be lonely and would make a joke, but it was not as expected."
"Is there any?" Xiang'er was confused.
Lu'er sneered, "Before my wife left, she specifically told me to pay attention to everything inside. So in the past two days, I have been wandering around the garden sooner or later, half of it to guard against them. But they still dare to do that thing in this place where people come and go. How brave are they?"
"I said why did you say you came over and have fun when you saw Xilan?"
Xiang'er reacted with a shocked look on her face. Who could believe that Hongwen would not leave the house every day, but today she accidentally ran to Shufang Pavilion? She happened to meet Mu Ming again? I thought that Mu Ming would hide from them from afar every time, for fear of being suspicious, but she would go to the concubine to reply?
It’s okay to reply, why do you have to be alone with a man and a woman? Why did Xilan leave? It’s puzzling.
Not to mention that this was in ancient times, even if a daughter-in-law and a male subordinate were discovered openly on the street in later generations, it would be impossible not to guess.
Lu'er cut off a small flower and analyzed: "They must be disappointed by us, and they may not be willing to give up. After the show is over, they will find another opportunity to meet. When you go back, don't say anything in front of Grandma Shen, and don't even mention Sister Meinu. From tomorrow, you and I will take more precautions in secret and observe her in secret. Remember not to be noticed by her. If you can see a little flaw, then her handle will be held in our hands."
"Hmph!" Lu'er smiled coldly and pinched the little flower to pieces. "You can't just say it out, so that everyone can see it, to be ashamed to death, and help everyone report their old grudges."
"Oh." Xiang'er stuck out her tongue, "What should I do if I was discovered?"
"Then I have to go back to Grandma Shen immediately and spread it out for a while, which would make her shameless." Lu'er said gloatingly, "It's just that she has no handle left behind. She is not afraid of us, but she still asks her to hold a grudge from now on and be wary of everything."
"I understand. If we don't do it well, we will be scolded, without any evidence." Xiang'er nodded repeatedly and cursed angrily: "It's a shameful thing for Hongwen. Master and wife treat her so well, almost as good as a lady. She is also praised as an aunt. How glorious? But she still wants to do these shameful things. Wouldn't she betray her conscience? Not only do she want to take revenge on her sisters, I even feel resentful."
Xiang'er used to be a maid in Du Qianqian's room, and was often scolded by Hongwen. After Aunt Chen's housekeeper, she specially sent over one of the people, and also received an imperial edict. According to the rules, at least two to four decent maids must serve him.
In contrast, Hongwen only has one maid, always reminding her that she is always a half-master and half-slave.
The two maids walked to the intersection of breaking up, and Lu'er reminded Xiang'er again, and then dispersed.
Gongyuan Back Street, Sun Family.
After taking a nap, listening to the sound of reading next door, Sun Huiruo came to find her sister and found that her bedroom had been moved to the attic.
Climbing up the ladder, Sun Huiruo asked, "Why did sister move here?"
"The weather will get colder in a few days. You know I have always liked high-rise residences." Sun Huixin welcomed it out."
When the two entered the bedroom, Sun Huiruo looked at several books on the head of the bed and said, "I know you brought it up on purpose because you were afraid that your mother would be caught?"
"Why do you say that?" Sun Huixin frowned.
Sun Huiruo pointed to the head of the bed and smiled, "Last time I embroidered a pillow, I was tired. When I walked into your room, I saw another book on the table. I couldn't read it after reading it for a while. Are you not afraid of going to hell with this kind of pen and ink? Sister, what else is there? Let me take it to see."
Sun Huixin smiled and reached out and pinched her sister's little nose, and said with a smile: "This kind of song is not something that we girls should read. You dare to borrow it if you are thankful for it? However, I really like the author's talent and lyrics that I can't put it down in private, so I have to hide in the attic to watch it, but I don't dare to lend it to you. It's amazing to be discovered by my elders."
It would be fine if Sun Huiruo was honest by nature. She didn't know that Chen Tao deliberately wrote some novels such as the West Chamber, trying to touch her sister's heart. Not only did she have the West Chamber, but she also had the Boudoir Red, Butterfly Fate, and the Fun History of Luoyang.
These miscellaneous books are often regarded as treasures for young men and girls. In the era of extremely underdeveloped consultation, it opened a mysterious door for young men and women like divine books. Of course, all absurd love novels before the Ming Dynasty were simple in writing and concise in words, which is difficult for modern people to understand. The description of explicit plots is far from comparable to later novels.
At this time, people are not divided into men and women. Anyone who loves books has a high level of education. They often sneer at the full list of vernacular or too explicit passages, especially girls who love relatively elegant poetry and operas.
