That night, I was very embarrassed. When I was cleaning, I was woken up by the pain. I opened my eyes in a daze and saw that it was him.
Seeing me waking up, Guanshi Lu had a look of joy on his face.
"Young Master," he moved his lips hesitantly, and finally said restrainedly, "I'm... I'm administering medicine to Young Master, I'm afraid it will hurt a little. Please, Young Master, please bear with me."
He supported me on him, my limbs were as heavy as a thousand catties, and I didn't even want to move my fingers. Some kind of ointment was on his fingers, it was cold and cold, and when I applied it, my body tensed up. He stopped his movements, and then became more careful and gentle. In fact, this little pain is nothing compared to the pain I suffered before, but he was cautious, as if I was made of jade, waiting for me. After applying the medicine for me, I tossed myself into a sweat.
Guanshi Lu put me back on the bed and covered me tightly with a quilt. Before I had time to see his expression, he turned and told Biyu and Biluo: "Young Master, you must not touch the water for two days. Wipe your body for Young Master, serve him carefully, and tell me immediately if you have anything to do."
"yes."
Maybe it's my overthinking, I always feel that he seems to be a bit angry. I don't know what he is angry about.
He explained some things to his servants, and then he was about to go out. I thought I was a little confused, seeing that he was about to leave, I reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
I noticed that he froze, and then turned to look at me. "... Shaojun." When he looked at me, there was a flash of emotion in his eyes, but he always concealed it very quickly, without giving me a chance to ponder, "I don't know Shaojun, what else can I order?"
His "Young Master" made me wake up a bit. I slowly withdrew my hand, only to feel a little dizzy in front of my eyes, and a feeling of wanting to vomit, but I still shook my head and whispered: "It's nothing."
He stood beside my bed for a while, and before leaving, he only said: "Then...Young Master, please rest."
I quietly watched him walk out, the footsteps became farther and farther away, until I couldn't hear them at all, I felt at ease in my heart, and closed my eyes.
That night, I had a low fever.
The doctor from Xu's mansion came to show me, and he said something pointedly: "Qi deficiency is not solid, it should be recuperated for a few days."
After that, I rested in the yard of the second bedroom for five full days. These days, I see Lu Qingsu every day. There are several butlers in this huge Xu mansion, perhaps because he is...he is the one to take care of the inner house. Every time it was time for me to drink the medicine, he would come over and watch me take the soup himself, and then he would leave without waiting for a moment longer.
I am not a precious person, and the fever on my body subsided after only two days. Afterwards, I would lie in bed all day long, but fortunately there was a girl named Biyu by my side, who would talk to me to relieve my boredom.
"Mrs. Xie said, let Shaojun take good care of himself, and it's okay to go to pay his respects in a few days later." According to the rules, the bride must offer tea to her mother-in-law on the second day. I originally thought that the rules of the four families should be more stringent, but I didn't think that they could make an exception. Biyu said: "It should be the same. After all, the young master will do this because—"
"Jasu." When Bi Luo walked in, when she heard her words, she gave a warning. Biyu is about the same age as me, even a few months younger than me. I have no airs in front of these servants. After getting along these few days, it is inevitable that she will occasionally forget her identity. Biyu hurriedly bowed her body and said: "Young Master, it's Biyu's slip of the tongue." She raised her eyes to look at me again, and said cautiously: "It should be that the affairs are busy these few days, and the servants... have not seen the second young master come back."
It turned out that she thought that I thought of Xu Yanqing and was in a bad mood. Speaking of which, since that night, I really haven't seen him again. I couldn't help touching the mark on my wrist, I still have a lot of bruises on my body, and he... It seems that he naturally hates me very much.
"It's okay, just get up." I said to Biyu.
In fact, I really didn't feel unhappy, or, it should be said, I didn't feel anything in my heart. No matter how Xu Yanqing treats me, it will not change the fact that I am his wife.
After a few days of raising my body, I feel much better. The first thing I do after getting out of bed is to offer tea to Mrs. Xie.
The servants in Xu's mansion called the two noble concubines with the word "Madam" at the end, just to distinguish them from the wife of the main house, they also added a surname in front. In the final analysis, it is up to the aristocratic family to decide whether this is in compliance with the rules. In short, I need to understand in my heart that no matter which one of the three women in Xu's back house, I have to treat them wholeheartedly.
When I went to see Mrs. Xie, I still couldn't see Xu Yanqing, and the servants were all hesitant. If I had known that the second young master was amorous and romantic, he must be enjoying himself in some gentle country now.
Xu Yanqing can ignore the rules, but I can't. Early in the morning, I tidied up and went to Xie's yard alone.
In the final analysis, Mrs. Xie is worthy of being from the famous Xie family, as soon as she entered the courtyard, she felt that this place is very different. From the decorations to the scenery, they are all very elegant and elegant. Looking at it now, the wealth of my Shen family is really not on the table compared to Xu and Xie's two families.
That day, I met Mrs. Xie.
She is wearing the current cloud embroidered Ru skirt and a golden step shaker on her head. She is not as elegant and pure as the wife of the main house, but has a touch of color in the cold, like a white peony, which is not elegant and luxurious. Although she is a little older, she still has a charming charm, which is enough to make people guess that she was infinitely glamorous when she was young. Xu Yanqing's first-class romantic appearance must be inherited from this birth mother.
Mrs. Xie is neither warm nor cold to me. After she drank my tea, she asked her servants to fetch a brocade box and gave it to me: "This piece of ink was made by Huizhou Mohists in the twelfth year of Yongcheng's reign. Yan Qing begged me several times, but I was reluctant to give it to him. .”
The twelfth year of Yongcheng was handed down a hundred years ago, and there are only a few yuan left in this world, but it is a real generous gift. I took it like a hot potato, and when I heard Mrs. Xie mention Xu Yanqing, I understood that she wanted me to sell it well and win Xu Yanqing's favor.
I can only respond: "Mother, don't worry...Jing Ting, I understand."
Mrs. Xie nodded slightly, and said: "There is nothing to do on weekdays, you should learn more about managing the affairs of the mansion, so that you can relieve Yanqing's worries in the future."
Later, she didn't leave me to talk too much, so she sent me out. After bidding farewell to Mrs. Xie, I went back to the small courtyard, stayed at the second room for another day, and went to the third room the next day.
Now, as if I'm used to it, I opened my eyes before Yinshi.
When the time came, those servants would come in and wash and dress me. Looking at the figure in the bronze mirror, I had the illusion that I had lived several lifetimes. At this moment, the servant wanted to put on the phoenix crown for me, but a voice came from behind: "I'll do it."
I turned around and saw Lu Qingsu.
Steward Lu picked up the phoenix crown. It is said that the phoenix crown is unique for every scorpion.
After the night is over, this whole body will also be burned, which also shows that once you have married your husband and son-in-law, you will never marry again in this life.
He put on the phoenix crown for me and put down the bead curtain. I have been looking at him, every time, when he stands in front of my eyes, I am like this, as if every time we look at each other, it is the last time.
Lu Qingsu looked at me for a moment, then parted his thin lips slightly: "Little man..." He fell silent again.
I waited for a while, and couldn't help asking him aloud: "... what?"
But he looked away, as if hesitating for a long time, and said: "No, when I looked at Shaojun, the villain just remembered the young brother at home."
Younger brother...
So, what he said means that he treats me like he treats his younger brother
At this moment, I felt a tightness in my chest. It was mild at first, but gradually, that feeling became deeper and more painful.
I gradually clenched my fingers, but said lightly: "Then... Guanshi Lu must love this younger brother very much."
He seemed to answer me, but then the servants came to announce that the auspicious hour had arrived.
As before, I took his hand and walked towards the bright red sedan chair. The strange thing is, this time, my heart was as calm as stagnant water, as if I couldn't make any more waves.
I sat in the chariot, and the people from the Xu Mansion carried me to another courtyard.
Along the way, there was nothing in my mind, and I seemed to lose interest in the changing scenery around me. During this time of burning incense, I seemed to have walked through the mountains of knives and the sea of fire, and in the end, there was still nothingness.
Once again I sat on a bright red bed, waiting for my third husband.
Compared with the previous two times, I didn't feel much nervous or scared. I even said that my heart is much calmer than before, it seems that to me, no matter who will come later, it will not be enough to cause any waves in my heart.
There is an auspicious time for the newlyweds to spend the night. I waited until it was dark, thinking that I would sit for two or three hours longer, but I didn't expect that when the sky darkened, I heard a series of footsteps outside.
Then, a pair of white jade-like hands gently pushed the door open.
