I lay on that bed for a while, and the servant came in. Someone gently lifted the curtain of the bed, but I didn't want to move, and I didn't know who he was, only heard: "Offended."
Before I raised my eyes, someone wrapped me up with the mattress, and lifted me from the red wedding bed.
He took me to the wing of the compartment, where there was hot water to fill the tub.
"Biyu, Biluo, you two stay here. The others go out."
Only then did he open the quilt and fish me out. At this moment, my eyes slowly opened. I saw him, but his clothes were still the same as when he picked me up in the morning. There was nowhere to escape those warm eyes, so he looked at me and said: "My little man... I was ordered to bathe and purify the young master."
I just watched him talk and listened to his voice. After a long time, he nodded his head gently as if he had recovered.
He tested the temperature of the water before putting me in it. There are flower petals sprinkled in the hot water, and the aroma is refreshing. When I touch the water, my muscles and bones are not loose, but I feel a little bit of pain first. Just look at my embarrassing body, with bruises all over, and the legs are a mess, except for the traces of love and blood that have dried up.
Steward Lu did not hand me over to his servants, but personally washed me up. I didn't move, I just stared blankly at the reflection in the water, and he didn't make a sound. I felt that his hands were gently brushing my back, the movements were extremely gentle, even when I was in the Shen Mansion, those servants had never been so dedicated to me. Those hands, from my neck, shoulders, and back, have been slowly rubbing down to my head...
When I touched my buttocks, I was shocked, but he clasped my shoulders comfortingly first: "Don't be afraid." He sucked in air, his voice seemed a bit unbearable, "It's just cleaning, it doesn't hurt. "
His words made me gradually relax. However, my heart slowly overflowed with indescribable emotions. It is bitter and sweet.
He carefully wiped my lower body. Those movements were without any desire. When I came to the ravine, my legs couldn't help tightening, my toes curled up, my lips trembled slightly, and my hands unconsciously grabbed his arm .
Until he pulled out his finger, I heard him say in a hoarse voice: "It's not hurt inside, young master...you still have a sense of proportion."
I panted lightly, and didn't know what to do. I was extremely tired both physically and mentally, so I could only tap my head a little more. He didn't move or speak, and after a while, he immediately hugged me out of the water, who was dripping wet.
Afterwards, he personally applied the medicine for me, tidied up properly, and carried me back to bed.
"Young Master, please rest earlier." He bowed slightly, "Tomorrow morning, I still have to see Madam."
Before Guanshi went out, he left behind two maids, who were the servants named Biyu and Biluo.
The room is burning with elegant incense, and my whole body is clean, and there is no trace of the previous mess on this bed, as if no one has ever been here, as if I was the only one from the beginning to the end.
Jasper lowered the bed curtain for me, I turned over and saw that the red candle had been burned out, the suffering tonight must be over.
The next day, I woke up at the hour of Chen.
When I married into Xu's residence, I brought only one or two serving nuns, and I was not very close to them. Biyu waited on me to wash and combed my hair, and said, "Shaojun's hair grows really well, it's black and smooth, and it goes well with this hairpin." Biyu kept talking to me since she got up from serving me, Bi Luo was quieter and calmer. When she came in, she saw the hairpin and said, "The color should be brighter to complement your complexion, but I'm going to see my wife in a while, so I think it's better to be simple and elegant."
The two of them talked to each other, and then they both looked at me. I couldn't help but smiled and said, "Just make up your mind."
In the end, I put on a plain crescent moon robe and a crown with curly hair, looking solemn and quiet. When I walked out, I saw the man standing in the hall. He was dressed in the military uniform of the Imperial Forest Army, and he looked even taller and more majestic. When the eagle eyes glanced over, I suddenly remembered all the things that happened last night. It seemed that there was heat blowing from the back of his neck, and I couldn't help lowering my eyes, not daring to look at him again.
"If you're done, let's go." As soon as the words fell, he turned around and walked out.
Compared with Shen's family, Xu's mansion is another world. Those rockery gardens are dazzling, and the towers and pillars in front of you, carved railings and jade brickwork, can be called unique, beyond the reach of Shen's and others.
I followed Xu Changfeng, he walked at a steady pace, I just served the night yesterday, and I also felt a little strenuous when I got up this morning, now that I walked a few steps, I felt my legs tremble slightly, and there was a thin sweat on my forehead. But I'm a man after all, so naturally I can't say what to ask him to wait for me. Besides, whether he is intentional or not, he is always within five steps away from me.
Arriving at another courtyard, Xu Changfeng stopped before entering the door. I'm coming over too, stopping with him. He turned to look at me and held out his hand.
I looked at his palm for a moment, and then realized it, and raised my hand with a little hesitation, and the broad palm grasped mine.
He said, "Go in."
I stepped through the door with Xu Changfeng, and saw the graceful woman on the seat. She combed Madam Gaoming's hair in a bun, but her clothes were extremely simple and elegant, without too many gold ornaments. She had a slight smile on her face, but she looked majestic and energetic, as if nothing could escape her eyes. It was only then that I remembered that Mrs. Xu was born in the Yu family, and Xu Changfeng's eyes were exactly the same as those of the Yu family.
"Mother." Xu Changfeng called her, and I followed him, calling softly, "Mother."
Mrs. Yu nodded, and the servants brought cups, and I knelt down to serve tea. I practiced this a few times before I got married, and now I can do it without leaking. Mrs. Yu drank my tea and told me to sit down.
"After all, he is Mrs. Shen's son, really elegant and meticulous." Mrs. Yu looked at me, as if she became more and more satisfied, "Changfeng is a rough person, if there is something wrong in the future, you have to take care of it. "
Although Xu Changfeng was born as a general, he is also a first-class Jinshi in the imperial examination. Mrs. Yu's words are too self-effacing, and I am discouraged. I can only secretly look at the man next to me.
Since he came in, except for the voice of mother, he was as quiet as an ancient pool, as if no one could keep his shadow in his eyes.
Mrs. Yu is a cheerful woman. After talking to me for a few words, she ordered someone to take a jade pendant from the storeroom and give it to me: "I have everything here from a woman's house. This jade pendant was given to me by Chang Feng's grandfather. , it was said that I wanted to leave it to my son back then. Now, I will give it to you."
I saw the jade pendant, it was extremely precious, and I dare not accept it.
But Yu Shi said slowly: "Why can't you bear it? When you give birth to a wedge in the future, you can pass this jade pendant on. It's the same."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Changfeng said: "Mother, there is still business in the North Yamen, and my son has to leave first." Then he looked at me and said, "You just stay and talk more with mother. "
After finishing speaking, Xu Changfeng got up from his seat, and with the cape brushing, I looked at his back and walked away.
When I turned around, I saw that the smile on Yu's face was put away, and she looked very embarrassed. After all, the Yu family is the Xu family's mistress, what kind of scene has never been seen before. She immediately put away her sullen expression, and it was the first time I saw a dignified and majestic look: "Since Changfeng is gone, it's better if he isn't here to listen to something."
"Mother...but it's okay to say." I cheered up and said hurriedly.
She looked at me and said: "You called me mother, and I treated you as my son. Unfortunately, you are not only Changfeng's husband, but also my mother."
Her words came straight to the point, and I was on pins and needles, not knowing how to respond to her, nor whether I should respond to her.
Yu continued: "As a wife, you have to serve your third son. I also understand how difficult it is for you. As a mother, I have no other thoughts. I just want you to remember every moment when you are facing Changfeng. He is also your husband, he needs to love and respect you, and you must not be biased towards him. "
I heard the meaning of Yu's words. She was worried that Xu Changfeng, as an ordinary person, shared his wife with Brother Xie, so he was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage. I carefully responded: "What my mother said, respect the pavilion to save money. I will respect and love... the officials, and there is no bias."
After hearing this, she nodded in agreement, and said with a bit of gentleness on her face: "I think you are also soft-tempered... So, it's a good thing." She sighed, "Long Feng's temperament is similar to that of a mother like me. He takes soft things but not hard ones. Afterwards, you need to pay more attention when the husband and wife are together. As for the rest of the house, you don't have to worry about it. No one dares to deceive you. to your head."
"Yes." I obediently replied.
It was already afternoon when he stepped out of Yu's courtyard.
Mrs. Yu didn't let me stay for dinner. Before she went, she said that she would go to the Buddhist hall to listen to scriptures. Earlier, someone told me that in Xu's mansion, the wife eats fast and lectures on scriptures, and rarely shows up. Most of them are two noble concubines who take care of the inner house, but the Yu family's status is stable. Not only is her son promising, but she is also a Great character.
After I went back, I couldn't help thinking, this mother and son seemed to be inseparable, and Xu Changfeng, as an ordinary person, shared a wife with Brother Xie, whether all of this was Yu's idea.
Thinking about it, this marriage did not meet his wishes from the beginning to the end.
For the next two days, I never saw Xu Changfeng. He didn't come to rest in the house at night, and I never asked where he went.
These two days passed in the blink of an eye, and on the third day, a group of attendants arrived before full light. The leader is none other than Lu Guanshi.
When I see him again now, my heart is much calmer. Guanshi Lu is still young, so he takes care of the big and small affairs of the Xu Mansion's house. Thinking about it, he is also extremely trusted by the Xu Mansion. Both Biyu and Biluo were trained by him personally, so they are naturally beautiful and transparent.
Just like the day I married into the Xu Mansion, the servants waited for me to take a bath, dressed me, put on obscene clothes for me, tied the five-fold knot again, and then asked me to hold the rouge paper in my mouth. When he pursed his lips, the jade power came in again.
After I finished tidying up, Guanshi Lu walked in.
Jasper put on the phoenix crown for me, I raised my eyes and looked at him. Guanshi Lu opened his lips and said softly to me: "The auspicious time has come, please get up, Young Master."
He put down the bead curtain, and I put my hand in his palm. Just for a moment, I seemed to have a very short dream, and I couldn't figure out what to do, so I arrived in front of the sedan chair.
I sat on the soft chariot of Xu Mansion and left the yard of the long house.
Xu's three houses are all separated by mountains and rivers. They seem to be a family, but they don't seem to be. I arrived at the house of the second young master of Xu's family. Compared with Xu Changfeng's, this side is very different. There are hundreds of flowers and plants in the yard, and the slaves are all carved in powder and jade. The wedding room is equally red and festive, but the master is not there.
"Young Master, please wait, Second Young Master..." Guanshi Lu looked at me, bowed his head and said respectfully, "I will be there later."
I stepped up and walked into the bright red step by step. Before the two doors closed, I looked back at this moment, and he was still clasping his hands, forming an unchanging scenery with the long corridor behind him.
I went to the bed and sat down, looked around at the red candles and red curtains in front of me, touched the red quilt, and gently pressed my forehead against the bedpost.
I didn't expect that this wait would last from daytime to late night.
The green light was dim, I sat on the footrest, leaned against the bed and fell asleep. In a daze, first heard the sound of quarreling—
"—I don't need your help, Second Master, I can walk by myself!"
"Lu Qingsu, you've defeated the master's interest time and time again. Why, Lu Da is in charge of the world, and now even the young master dares to take care of it?"
I rubbed my eyes and sat up, but before I could hear it clearly, the door in front of me was suddenly pushed open with all my strength.
