Cui Wenxi has always been a wonderful person. Although Kezi conforms to mainstream values, Xinzi is different from the local aborigines. Since what was standing in front of her was a big mountain that she couldn't climb over, she just lay down flat.
There is Yong Ning raising his face in front of him, and there is Cui Wenxi in the back who is prostituted by the prince. Anyway, it is just something that is delivered to the door. Whoever takes it seriously will lose.
Or maybe it was her seven-year marriage with Prince Qing that gave her a different perspective on life. In the past, she was too naive and looked forward to being with one person for the rest of her life.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that the shelf life of decades is really too long, let alone the most unreliable relationship.
But life is not only about marriage. She should not be trapped in the rules defined by patriarchy for women. She should learn from Yongning to break out of the rules, have a few close friends, close family, and not worry about livelihood, which is already good. Why should we pursue marriage so hard and use our own obsession to deceive others into falling into a trap
This is very unethical. It is not advisable to go against human nature to regulate others and shoulder the responsibility for oneself. King Qing is a living example.
She spent her entire life as a couple to regulate him to take responsibility for her life, but in the end it became a joke.
In the end, the only one who has to bear the consequences is yourself.
After Wu understood this truth, she completely let go. The prince was interested in her, the royal aunt, and she couldn't beat him, so let's play with him. Anyway, the other party was not an old man, and she was sure to make a profit from this business.
In autumn, the weather was still very hot, but it was much cooler in the morning and evening. Yongning asked Cui Wenxi to go to Changyin Pavilion to watch a play. She thought about the young man who made her suffer.
The boy was seventeen years old, his name was Lin Qiong, and he came to Beijing from Jiazhou.
I heard that both of my parents were dead and my family was in ruins, so I became a small boy in Changyin Pavilion for the entertainment of distinguished guests.
When Cui Wenxi came over, the young man was making tea in the box. He saw the slim white figure passing by through the curtain, and Lin Qiong couldn't help but take a second look.
Yongning waved to her and said, "Today there is Lady Shu's Pingtan "Worship the Moon", which I like best."
Cui Wenxi bowed, sat next to her and said, "Ms. Shu's Pingtan is of course excellent." She immediately imitated the gentle Wu Nong from Jiangnan Water Town and spoke softly, so softly that it softened people's bones.
Yongning smiled and hit her, and spat: "You are not serious."
Later, Lin Qiong, who was behind the curtain, came forward to serve tea.
Cui Wenxi likes pretty little things, so she will naturally look at him. She caught a glimpse of the remaining bruises on the back of his hand, and said with a slight "ouch", "Who was beaten by him?"
Lin Qiong shrank back uncomfortably.
Yongning curled his lips and said deliberately: "Some people just don't know what they are doing. Now that they have come to this place, why are they pretending to be noble?"
Lin Qiong smiled shyly and said nothing.
After all, the young man is not like those old fat men. He is as clean as a little lamb. But there is nothing to pity or pity on the people who come here.
You have hands and feet, but you can't do anything for a living. You have to sell your appearance and take shortcuts, which is not worthy of respect.
After he retreated, Yongning picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, praising: "The brat has strong bones and the tea he makes is the best."
Cui Wenxi also took a bite and said without hesitation: "It's very good."
Yongning glanced at the person behind the curtain, poked her arm, and said with itch: "Think of a way for me."
Cui Wenxi also glanced secretly, "Sister, as long as you are willing to spend the money, just buy it."
Yongning waved his hand, "Good status."
Cui Wenxi said softly "Oh", it was more difficult to get a good certificate.
She seemed puzzled and asked confusedly: "The young man looks at the thin skin and tender meat. He must be from a wealthy family. Why do you do this business?"
Yongning immediately told Lin Qiong's origins roughly. The Lin family was originally a wealthy businessman, but his father died in a fire in an accident. His mother died of illness not long after he was rescued. She was not good at management, and within two years the family was in decline. After getting used to a good life, I couldn't bear the hardships, so I came here.
Cui Wenxi said: "He is quite ill-fated."
Yongning said realistically: "You don't know how high the sky is, but this is the capital city. How can you survive being reduced to a place like this?"
Cui Wenxi was used to the life of a noble lady, so how could he have any interest in pitying and sympathizing with all living beings? He was not very interested in Lin Qiong's experience. After all, there were many people who were worse off than him.
Seeing her lack of interest, Yongning asked, "I heard that Pingyang was ill at your place a few days ago?"
Cui Wenxi replied: "I got caught in the rain and cold. I took care of myself for two days and then went back."
Yongning frowned slightly, "I don't know what happened to that child. She came to me to collect donations and said she would open a free clinic in Changnanfang. Do you think there is something wrong with her?"
Cui Wenxi was stunned and asked in surprise: "Medical clinic?"
Yong Ning nodded, "Free clinics don't charge money." He paused for a moment, "Do you think she's crazy? What's wrong with that?"
Cui Wenxi pursed her lips and smiled, "No matter what, it's better than being locked up in the house every day."
Yong Ning actually approved of this, "She is just too idle. She is confused all day long. She obviously has a great future, but she insists on tossing herself and not finding happiness."
Cui Wenxi looked at the stage below and said, "If she comes to see me, I can also raise money for her."
Yongning spat: "You are still strong."
Cui Wenxi: "The free clinic is good, it accumulates virtue." He also laughed at himself, "Maybe I didn't accumulate virtue in my previous life, so I won't be able to have children in this life."
Yongning couldn't look straight, "You are really good at uncovering your own scars. Let me ask you, if you are able to have children now, will you leave a legacy?"
Cui Wenxi refused: "I'm not interested. I can't live a good life. Why bother with my children?" He then said shamelessly, "If I can't move in the future, my mother's family still has nephews. I'll give them all my wealth. It's a shame for them." Just take care of the aftermath once and for all.”
Yongning said in admiration: "It's really reasonable."
Hearing the sound of pipa playing from below, the two of them happily sat in the front. Lin Qiong, who was behind the curtain, glanced at Cui Wenxi secretly, and she didn't know what she was planning.
After spending a long time with Yongning in Changyin Pavilion, when Cui Wenxi's master and servant left, the young man called Mrs. Cui in the hall for the first time.
Cui Wenxi stood up and turned to look at him.
Lin Qiong showed a shy and harmless expression and saluted, "Let's go."
Cui Wenxi curled his lips, feeling more and more that today's young people are fierce, first the prince, and then Lin Qiong.
She thought with great narcissism, that boy was hanging out in such a place, and taking the initiative to say hello and looking for attention. Could it be that he fell in love with her, a little rich woman, and asked for support
No, after leaving Changyin Pavilion, Fang Ling said dissatisfiedly: "Hu Meizi."
Cui Wenxi: "???"
Fang Ling said earnestly: "Madam, you should rarely come to a place like this. That boy is a seductress at first glance. He is not satisfied with being with the eldest princess, and now he wants to seduce Madam again."
Cui Wenxi: "..."
The human heart is indeed very sinister.
As soon as he returned to Cui's house, the servant delivered a letter. Cui Wenxi took it casually and asked: "Which family sent it?"
The servant replied: "Ma family."
Cui Wenxi was stunned, which Ma family
She opened the letter in confusion and saw only a few words inside:
Lan Xiang Tower.
The signature is Erlang, and the date of the appointment is attached.
Cui Wenxi laughed angrily, tut, the business is quite busy.
There was an autumn rain on the day we went to Lanxiang Tower. Faang Ling held an umbrella to wait for Cui Wenxi to go out. She wore a crabapple red pomegranate skirt and a bun, and her whole body looked like a lady's gentleness and elegance.
Sitting on the carriage, Cui Wenxi was not nervous at all, but rather a little excited.
The feeling was very subtle. They were once aunt and nephew, and they were six years older, and both had excellent reputations outside. One was dignified, the other abided by etiquette.
It just so happens that two people who are completely impossible to get together actually get together. Whether it is from ethical or practical considerations, it is extremely contrary to etiquette and dogma.
But if you really want to find fault, it seems that you can't find anything. After all, she has divorced now and is just a second-married woman without a man, and the prince has never married, so it is no big deal for the two of them to sleep together.
However, if this matter comes out, most people around it will explode, whether it is the royal family or the Duke's palace.
Cui Wenxi thought to herself that it was the prince who provoked her first, so she no longer had to worry about marriage, and there was no burden of childbearing. So what if she slept for two days to replenish her body
With this mentality, she didn't resist it.
The rain had stopped when they arrived at Lanxiang Tower. Fang Ling lifted the car curtain and helped Cui Wenxi out.
As soon as the master and servant entered the hall, they saw a family of slaves coming to salute and said to Cui Wenxi: "Ms. Cui, please come this way."
Cui Wenxi looked him up and down. He was not a servant beside the prince. He was probably afraid of being caught by an acquaintance, and asked: "Where is your master?"
The servant replied: "In the Ruyi Pavilion at the back."
The master and servant followed him to Ruyi Pavilion.
This is the largest restaurant in Beijing, a mixed bag of good and bad. Most wealthy people like to have banquets here. Women like them are everywhere, but they are not eye-catching.
Ruyi Pavilion is reserved and is quite clean.
The servants were guarding the main entrance. When they saw the master's servant coming over and bowing, Fang Ling wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by the servant.
Cui Wenxi made a gesture.
Fang Ling showed an anxious and worried look and hesitated to speak: "Madam..."
Cui Wenxi: "It doesn't matter."
She walked into the courtyard by herself. There were two doors inside, both guarded by servants.
Cui Wenxi came to the carved door and knocked gently, and a slight sound came from inside. She opened the door and saw that she was sitting in the room. She took off her embroidered shoes, put on her stockings and stepped on the mat. She closed the door and peeked inside out of curiosity.
Hearing the noise behind the screen, Cui Wenxi looked over and saw Zhao Yue sitting cross-legged in front of the dressing table, pulling off his fake beard. She was amused by that action, and she bowed and said, "What is Erlang doing?"
Zhao Yue said seriously: "Aunt Four Emperors doesn't like the old man."
Cui Wenxi laughed and walked up to see what he looked like after makeup. His face was yellow and he didn't know what he had applied on it. He also had a nasty mole and a wretched mustache.
Cui Wenxi turned his face to look at him unceremoniously and said disgustedly: "Who made you look like this?"
Zhao Yue blinked and asked, "Do I look like a wealthy businessman?"
Cui Wenxi laughed in anger and said with a venomous tongue: "It doesn't look like that, but more like a tuberculosis ghost."
Zhao Yue: "..."
After all, he was not as skillful as the girl. Seeing how clumsy he was, Cui Wenxi took the initiative to remove his fake beard.
The distance between the two was so close that he could almost smell the scent of makeup on the other person's body, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Sensing his uneasiness, Cui Wenxi found it interesting and deliberately said: "You have a thief heart but no courage. Since you have invited me to have a private meeting with you, why are you ashamed?"
When she told her about the central issue, Zhao Yue's ears turned red and she said, "Nonsense, I'm a gentleman."
Cui Wenxi sneered, pinched his chin unceremoniously and said, "You're more of a hypocrite. A man and a woman live together in the same room. Can you fool me by thinking I'm an unmarried young lady?"
These words made Zhao Yue feel ashamed, and she defended innocently: "Aunt Four Emperors misunderstood, I'm not that dirty, I just want to see you."
Cui Wenxi didn't believe his lies at all. An eighteen-year-old boy was at the age when he was about to make a move. He had no such thoughts towards her, so just lie to him.
There was a small stove in the corner and hot water in the copper kettle. She stood up and poured some hot water into the copper basin, then added cold water. After testing that the water temperature was suitable, she took out a clean handkerchief and let him make his face first. Scrub clean.
She had no intention of sleeping with tuberculosis patients.
Zhao Yue twisted his handkerchief to wipe his face. He brought all the utensils in the room himself and was very particular about it.
Cui Wenxi knelt down in front of the table and poured some water. When he came over after cleaning his face, his lips were red and his teeth were white, which was a pleasure to look at.
She felt that she was in a good mood and was not so reserved. She pinched his fair face with itchy hands and said with a smile: "How good he is."
Zhao Yue: "..."
Cui Wenxi took a sip of warm water and asked, "You said just now that you don't care about me. Let me ask you, why did you invite me to have a private meeting?"
Zhao Yue replied: "I want to please Aunt Four Emperors, but how can I please you?"
This made Cui Wenxi happy, half believing and half questioning: "Do you really want to please me?"
Zhao Yue nodded, her peach blossom eyes sparkling, innocent and seductive.
The docile appearance of the little lamb completely made Cui Wenxi swell, and she waved to him: "Come here, I will teach you."
Zhao Yue approached him cautiously. Cui Wenxi knew that he was inexperienced and it was better not to be too wild and scare him. He slowly moved closer to his neck and sniffed his scent. It smelled very good, a bit like nard. .
This is the first time that he has been approached by a girl like this, and it is also the girl he has admired for a long time.
Zhao Yue's heartbeat was a little violent, and his breathing became rapid. The blush spread from the roots of his ears to his face inadvertently. However, before he could panic, Cui Wenxi suddenly bit his earlobe out of a playful spirit.
Zhao Yue said "Ah", her scalp felt numb and numb, and she hurriedly retracted her neck with a look of chaos on her face.
Cui Wenxi was amused. She seemed to have discovered a new way to play. As long as you don't have moral integrity, you can really get a lot of happiness.
No, the little lamb who was violated by him looked at her with panic in his eyes, as if unexpectedly the upright character she had built in the past had collapsed. After all, she was usually extremely upright and always looked sacrosanct. I never thought of being so wild in private.
Cui Wenxi became more playful, or maybe King Qing was right. Hanging out with Yongning would lead to bad things sooner or later, and now she was being led astray. Yongning's trick of playing tricks on others was learned from her.
Zhao Yue was also very scheming. He lowered his eyebrows to test her bottom line. After she bit her ear, he realized that she didn't resist his touch. He was extremely scheming.
Cui Wenxi was interested in having fun and waved to him: "Come here, I will teach you how to please me."
Zhao Yue hesitated for a long time before getting closer again.
Cui Wenxi liked the Adam's apple and collarbones of men. When she reached out to touch them, she didn't know that the guy was acting like a rogue and suddenly came forward to kiss her.
The lips that touched her were warm and soft, with an unfamiliar scent, and a hint of eagerness belonging to a young man.
The novel and unethical stimulation prompted her to rebel and indulge. The person who was sneaking up on her was forced down by her. She easily clasped Zhao Yue's hands behind her head, leaned on him and said, "You little bastard is dishonest. , and said he had no wrong thoughts about me."
Zhao Yue said nothing, her face was brightly crimson, and there was a little embarrassment in her peach blossom eyes.
Cui Wenxi fell in love with him. He was obviously inexperienced, but he still tried his best to pretend to be very sophisticated. His desperate playfulness was really endearing.
She slowly leaned down and whispered ambiguously into his ear: "Children, it's better not to play with fire. There will be no good outcome if you mess with women like us."
Zhao Yue: "..."
The woman playfully blew into his ear, tickling him so much that he panicked. She bit his earlobe provocatively again, and Zhao Yue was completely blown away.
