I stayed in all three rooms for a while, and then returned to Xu Changfeng's yard, only to realize that this place is indeed much colder than the other two.
I don't know if it's because the master is not there often, but this small courtyard is also very quiet, and the servants who serve are a little older, but they are still neat and diligent in doing things, and they never neglect me. Therefore, it is because of my presence that this yard is more populated.
When I came back here, I didn't see Xu Changfeng. He has important duties, so he is much busier than ordinary people, so it is impossible for him to stay in the yard all day long.
"Young gentleman, please relax. There is a saying in the hometown of slaves and maidservants. The lady who just started is still hot on the kang, and the young master will definitely come back at night." Biyu is getting more and more courageous now, and Biluo immediately glared at her: " Pay attention, the matter of the master... but the servants can discuss it."
Biyu pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, turned her hair with her fingers and said, "Young Master, what this servant said is the truth..."
Biyu is lively, Biluo is old-fashioned, and the two of them are chattering, so I never feel lonely, but I was at Xu Qihe's side before... I messed around a little, and now I am suddenly free for a day, I am really not used to it.
According to the rules in Xu's residence, in the days to come, I will stay in each of the three bedrooms for ten days, constantly rotating. This kind of rule has existed since ancient times, and it is commonly known as "walking wives". It is also written in "Ji Commandment" that unless they are ill, shir wives are not allowed to sleep alone, and must choose one of the husbands to share the same room every night. Later, in order to prevent the wife from serving her husband alone, the rule of "walking away wives" was established. After all, so many rules are just for the purpose of allowing the scorpion to conceive as soon as possible and give birth to an heir.
Biyu and Biluo thought that I was neglected, so they tried their best to make me happy, but they didn't know that Xu Changfeng's absence in the courtyard really made me feel relieved. Because, I really don't know how to get along with him...
In this day, blink and close your eyes, and it will pass in a blink of an eye.
On the willow twigs on the moon, on the corridor, all the lights are lit up. The servant specially waited for me to take a bath, and then I sat in front of the case, waiting for my husband to return.
Nearly half a month has passed since the first intercourse, the red gauze in this dormitory has long been removed, only a piece of "囍" is still pasted in front of the door. Here, it is not like the carved beams and painted buildings in the second room, nor is it full of soft and fragrant incense in the third room, but it is very plain and clean, there are no extra objects, only a landscape painting by an unknown person is hung. It can be seen that the owner here is either extremely solemn and quiet, or rarely returns.
One night, servants came in and cut candles twice.
I put one hand on the table and nodded my head several times. I sent Biyu Biluo to rest early, and only the servant in charge of the night waiter was in the side room. When the servant came in again, I asked her the time.
"Returning to Shaojun, Zishi has just passed."
I guess, Xu Changfeng probably won't come back tonight.
When we first got married, he was the same way, letting me sleep alone on the glowing red wedding bed for two nights. "Go down and rest too." I said to the servant, and stood up myself. Just as I was about to rest, there was movement behind the door.
As I turned around, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Xu Changfeng was still in the military uniform of the Guards, mighty and straight, and the dark red cloak was dragged on the ground, with a bit of dampness, as if it had been drenched in light rain. That head of black hair was tied up meticulously, and his outline was tough, like a sculpture, and he was still so handsome when I first saw him. The sword eyebrows are cold, and when the deep black eyes see me, a strange color flashes very quickly.
"You..." He didn't see me for a long time, and he was afraid that he couldn't remember who I was at the moment when his eyes met. I turned around and looked at him, then lowered my eyes, and whispered politely: "Officer."
After a moment of silence, Xu Changfeng walked in, bringing in a cloud of cold air from the night.
He walked to the cabinet, thinking he wanted to take off his duty clothes. I just asked my servants to rest. Although I could summon them, I didn't think it was necessary, so I hesitated for a moment, and walked over.
Just as I was about to touch his shoulder, Xu Changfeng moved his body. My hand was still in the air, and he turned to look at me, pursed his thin lips, and said, "I'll just do it myself."
I heard the words, nodded slowly, and stepped back outside the screen with interest.
Xu Changfeng took off his military uniform, leaving only the plain clothes underneath. After he came out, I subconsciously looked at him. After he took off his military uniform, he looked more refined than those Confucian scholars who had read poetry and books. He looked at me and moved his lips.
"Sanxi." Before he spoke, I rushed to say something, but the moment the words came out of my mouth, I regretted a little. I looked at the ground and held my ten fingers tightly, "I... the officials call me Sanxi, that's fine."
My surroundings froze for a while, and I heard the man in front say: "I remember." He said, "I remember, your name is Sanxi."
His voice is very deep, and it is as mellow as hitting a chime. He called out the three joys, I don’t know why, it seemed to reach my heart, but I always seemed a little awkward in front of him, maybe he was much older than me, or maybe, after all, he was my first a man...
I sensed him walking toward me and resisted a backsliding movement until he stopped.
After a while of silence, he said, "It's late at night, go to bed and rest."
Then, Xu Changfeng turned around. When I looked up at him, I only had time to see a slender figure open the door. Xu Changfeng went to the study compartment, and I saw the light on the other end turned on.
I stood there in a daze for quite a while before I gradually realized that he would never step in here again this night.
I lay back on the bed alone, and the original drowsiness disappeared. After tossing and turning a few times, I finally looked at the candle flames, the flames were bright red, illuminating the surroundings indistinctly.
I forgot who said that a lifetime is still long. And it was just the first night.
For several days, I stayed in the yard of the big house. These days, every day at dawn, before I open my eyes, Xu Changfeng has already gone to the yamen. And at night, although everyone came back, he only left this bed for me, and went to the other side of the study to spend the night by himself. And the number of times I have met him can be counted on ten fingers.
In the past few nights, it has been raining outside from time to time. Tonight, I don't know what kind of evil wind is blowing, and the rain hasn't stopped since the evening.
This night, I was blinded by the sound of rain, so I sat up.
I opened the door and looked at the other side of the cubicle. A faint light came through the window paper, like a star in the distant night.
Xu Changfeng didn't know if he was awake or had already fallen asleep. With the sound of the rain, I vaguely wondered, the number of people in the Xu clan were civil servants, only he did not take the usual path, abandoning literature and pursuing martial arts. Could this be because it had something to do with him being born as an ordinary person.
The next day, Biyu and I were in the courtyard.
It has just rained a few times, and the flowers in the yard are blooming just right. Although the garden here is not as exquisite as Xu Qihe's, but after I walked around, I found that it seemed that someone had taken good care of it, but for some reason, it gradually became depressed.
When I walked through the magnolia bushes, I vaguely heard a few cats meowing.
"So there is still a cat in this yard?" Biyu couldn't help looking around when she heard that there was something interesting.
Biyu searched around the yard, and she brought a cat for her.
That little furry thing is all white, with short limbs, but two eyes are one gold and one blue, which is extremely rare.
"I know this kind of cat. It was brought by barbarians. What's it called... Bo or something." Biyu hugged the cat to me, and I was also curious. , couldn't help reaching out, wanting to tease it. Unexpectedly, the cat still had some temper, so it struggled suddenly: "Ah!" I screamed in pain, and looked down, when it broke free from Jasper's arms, it scratched a hole on the back of my hand.
When Bi Luo saw it, he shouted angrily: "Come here, quickly catch that little beast that hurt Shaojun!"
The servants didn't dare to disobey, and went to catch the white cat. Biluo said coldly: "I don't know who raised the animal, but now it hurts the master, so we can't keep it, let's drown it." Then he said to Biyu, "Hurry up and ask the doctor to look at Shaojun's hand .”
But at this moment, a voice sounded from the other end: "Don't drown my Yiyi!"
Immediately afterwards, I saw a little girl running over.
She is about five or six years old, wearing a green dress, with two braids, red lips and white teeth, very beautiful. She came over and hugged the cat regardless, and looked at us warily. That pair of talking eyes made me feel very familiar.
"Miss, miss—" Behind her, a nun followed. The old mother saw me, and quickly pulled the little girl behind her, then knelt down towards me with a plop, and said tremblingly: "The old slave has seen the young master, if the young lady has bumped into the young master, please, please, the young master will only punish the old lady." Slave alone!"
Seeing that she kowtowed to me, I hurriedly said, "You... get up quickly." But I looked at the girl behind her, who was holding the cat in her arms tightly, for fear that we would catch it .
The old mother had already stood up, pushed the little girl and said: "Little master, the young master is generous, why don't you hurry up and thank the young master."
She looked at me, but her eyes were red: "There is no such thing as a young master here, I only want my mother!" Then she hugged the cat, turned her head and ran to another yard.
The old slave called Miss a few times and wanted to apologize to me again, I waved my hand a little tiredly.
Back in the courtyard, the doctor came to show me the cut on my hand. In fact, I have been bumped and bumped since I was a child, and this injury is really nothing, but the servants are extremely nervous, so I had to let the doctor take a look, which can be regarded as comforting them.
After the doctor left, I couldn't help asking: "Just now, who is that child?"
When Biyu heard this, she was surprised and said: "So... Shaojun doesn't know?"
Biluo glared at her, walked up to me, bowed and replied: "Responding to the young master, the little master just now..." She replied cautiously: "It is the eldest master of the Xu family and the former young wife Luo's wife." Single girl."
