Doting on concubines and destroying wives?I am no longer the mistress of Houmen!
Chapter 47
Chapter 47
"Mother Yan, the prince is looking for you."
Yan's mother had just served the old lady to sleep, and a girl came over to pass on the message.
She looked puzzled: "What do you want from me?"
The girl said: "I don't even know about this."
"Okay, you go down first."
Yan's mother adjusted her clothes and went out to meet Lu Zhengliu, thinking to herself, is there anything inconvenient to talk about in the birthday hall?Also send a girl over to pass on the message.
Could it be that something happened to Ge Baoer?
She also felt that it was impossible, with four women guarding her, she couldn't escape even with wings, what else could she make?
"Sir?"
Lu Zhengliu stood outside the courtyard wall, turned around and asked, "Mother Yan, is grandma asleep?"
Yan's mother nodded: "I'm asleep. What's the matter, Shizi? A relative came to the house today and asked about you. Why didn't you come to see me? Aunt Jia misses you very much!"
"I know. Tomorrow I will go to the eldest sister to apologize. Now I have something to trouble you..."
Yan's mother smiled: "Your Majesty, tell me what you want, and be polite to the old slave?"
Lu Zhengliu said in a low voice: "I want to see Bao'er, please help drive away the wives in the side courtyard."
He is a man, so it is not easy to break in at night.
Now relatives live at home, if he dares to go there tonight, everyone will know tomorrow.
Yan's mother became apprehensive when she heard it, and walked a few steps aside with Lu Zhengliu, for fear that the maids in the yard would hear them talking.
"My son, what... are you going to see the cousin girl right now? Can't you wait for a while?"
Lu Zhengliu pursed his lips, and said helplessly, "Brother Qing wanted to see his mother. Today he sneaked over by himself, and even cried hoarsely, saying that his mother also wanted to see me. I still have to go."
Yan's mother's face turned black.
This Ge Baoer has her feet grounded, and her arms are still stretched out so long!
Really underestimated her.
Mother Yan didn't want to criticize anything now, she twisted her handkerchief and said, "Your Majesty, I can dismiss the guarding mother-in-law for you. But it's only this time, don't make an exception."
Lu Zhengliu said gratefully: "I see that grandma's complexion is not good recently, please don't tell grandma."
Yan's mother sighed: "I know."
The two walked to the side courtyard together, and she also specially instructed: "Don't blame the old servant for talking too much, the cousin girl is really not simple, you go to see her and beat her more, don't fall into her trap instead."
"it is good."
Of course, Lu Zhengliu didn't think that Ge Bao'er had any "trap" for him, she didn't have that method yet.
But her current behavior really made him a little annoyed.
Yan's mother went to the side courtyard, dismissed the women and the maid, Wu'er, and said to Lu Zhengliu, "Go in, the women will not come at night, but Wu'er will come, you must come out within half an hour .”
"Thank you."
Yan's mother was also afraid of accidents, so she took care of herself outside.
After Lu Zhengliu went in, Ge Bao'er was lying on the table with a sleepy look, and he was not excited when he saw him.
"I heard from Brother Qing that you are sick?"
He walked over and asked.
Ge Baoer raised his head, his eyes were red, watching him hesitate to speak, and finally wept bitterly in a low voice.
"Brother Ah Zheng, I want to go out, I want to see Brother Qing anytime."
"It's clean here, and grandma is also for your own good."
Seeing that oil and salt were not coming in, Lu Zhengliu frowned and said, "Now is not the time. Wait a little longer."
Ge Baoer grabbed his sleeve and asked: "Brother Azheng, but I don't want to wait any longer. I...I don't want to be a legal wife anymore, I..."
"What are you?"
Lu Zhengliu looked at her puzzled.
Ge Baoer bit her lip: "I can't not see brother Qing like this, I can't see you! I can't stand it!"
"Do you want to be a concubine?"
Lu Zhengliu's face was cold, and he immediately vetoed: "No!"
He shook off her sleeve almost angrily, and said, "I promised, I won't let you be my concubine."
"Bao'er, as you said, when you were young...so you will never be a concubine in this life."
Lu Zhengliu wanted to see a trace of struggle in her eyes, but there was no, Ge Baoer hung his head in disappointment, tears streaming down his face: "But now I'm not even as good as a concubine." She had a face full of pain.
"Bao'er, it's my fault."
After all, she was his childhood sweetheart and gave birth to a child for him. Lu Zhengliu couldn't bear it and hugged her into his arms.
"Don't cry, I promise you."
Ge Baoer came out of his arms, raised his head and asked, "When?"
"This is the Hou's mansion, not the Liyang countryside. The Hou family has the face and rules of the Hou family. When my elder sister returns home, it is not easy to do this kind of thing in front of her husband's family. When the Xia family leaves, I will Immediately talk to grandma and... Lin Yunwan about this."
Ge Baoer could only nod.
Lu Zhengliu was about to leave, and before he left, he told her: "Don't see brother Qing again for now, and don't show up when he arrives at the door."
"why?"
"He's still young, and he doesn't know how to act and speak properly. If people know now...it's not good."
"I'll go back first. You go to bed earlier."
With a sound of "boom", as soon as the wooden door closed, she was left alone in the whole room.
Looking at the flickering weak candlelight, Ge Baoer felt a little chill in his heart like melting a snow mountain.
"Is it bad for people to know? Or let Lin Yunwan know it's bad!"
She picked up the teacup and slammed it on the ground, her face pale.
"No, we can't wait for the relatives to leave..."
She knew too well that once the members of the Xia family left, she would have no chance.
"Five children, five children."
Ge Baoer yelled a few times.
Wu'er came back, and when he heard the voice coming in, he was surprised: "Girl, why is the cup broken?" Looking at Ge Baoer's face, he was even more surprised: "Girl, why are you crying like this."
Ge Baoer took her hand and said, "I... Wu'er, I only have you now."
Wu'er said cautiously: "And Young Master Qing, isn't he, he has a good relationship with you too. You moved here, and he still misses you."
At first, when Biao girl told her to find Master Qing, she was also surprised.
How can these two people who can't fight each other get involved?
She also went to look for Master Qing with the attitude of trying, but she didn't expect that Master Qing really came, and he seemed to be very close and on good terms with the cousin girl.
"It should be the feelings that came out of getting along with the Shoutang..."
That's what she guessed when she was guarding the door.
But it still feels a little weird.
Ge Bao'er said with a miserable expression: "He is a child after all, although he remembers my kindness to him before, he is not as deep as you and I."
Wu'er was a little uncomfortable: "Girl, don't say that, serving you is what a slave should do."
"Listen to what you said, I don't know how happy I am. By the way, Wu'er, please do me a favor..."
Wu'er was a little conflicted: "What, what's the matter?"
As soon as Ge Baoer said it, she wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bear Ge Baoer's constant begging: "Wu'er, no one can help me except you."
Wu'er agreed with half-push and half-right.
Ge Bao'er smiled and said, "Good Wu'er, it's lucky to have you. Let's clean up the tiles together, so as not to cut us."
"Girl, it's getting late, you go to rest, it's fine for the servants to come."
"Wu'er, you and I are still so polite..."
Ge Baoer picked up the tiles with her.
It was a clear day.
Lin Yunwan was tending chrysanthemums in the yard, and it was almost the season of flowering. She had already ordered people to place several pots in front of her house.
"Ma'am, are you still serving these flowers yourself?"
Pingye handed over a pair of scissors.
Lin Yunwan took the scissors, recalled the days in the boudoir, and said with a smile: "When I was not out of the pavilion, every day was full of music, chess, calligraphy, poetry, wine, camellia, unlike now, I haven't raised a pot of flowers for a long time. "
Speaking of flowers, she asked Ping Ye: "Have all the flowers in the flower hall of the garden been arranged?"
"Yesterday it was almost healed. Mama Yuan will come back to answer later, you can just ask her."
Lin Yunwan nodded: "Tomorrow will be the official banquet for the Xia family to clean up the dust, and our two families, men, women and children will be there by then, so there will be no mistakes."
"The servant knows."
Ping Ye looked outside the courtyard and said with a smile: "The Eldest Young Master has come to greet you."
"He's been given a vacation, why is he here again. This kid..."
As Lin Yunwan said that, she was about to put down the scissors.
Lu Changgong came over, bowed to greet him, looked at the flowers on the porch and said, "When did mother raise so many hydrangeas?"
Ping Ye pursed her lips and said, "Young Master, what eyes do you have? This is a chrysanthemum."
"Although it's just a flower seedling, it has bloomed a little bit. Why did you admit it wrong?"
Lu Changgong blinked, took a closer look, and said shyly, "I was wrong." Then he whispered, "It's the season for admiring chrysanthemums in August." He was annoyed that he was so stupid in front of his mother. Can't think of it.
"Come in and talk."
Lin Yunwan put down the scissors and asked him: "Did you hang your head again last night? When did you practice until you went to sleep?"
Lu Changgong pursed his lips and said, "...It's not very late, I went to bed before midnight."
Pingye took a breath.
"Zi Shi! Eldest young master, why don't you just wait for dawn."
Lin Yunwan sighed and said, "You hurt your eyes like this." She mentioned her father to him: "When your grandfather was less than fifty, his eyesight became dizzy. Do you want to be like your grandfather, who doesn't recognize your relatives within ten feet? "
Lu Changgong hurriedly said, "My son doesn't want it."
"A son knows his mother, and he knows it all the time." He defended in a low voice.
Lin Yunwan stopped talking.
Lu Changgong admitted his mistake seriously: "Son will not practice so late again in the future."
Lin Yunwan's face improved a bit: "Sit down." She ordered the maid to bring breakfast.
Lu Changgong sat down and explained to her: "Mother, it's not that my son didn't keep your words in mind, it's just that every time he writes, he forgets the time."
Lin Yunwan smiled: "Understood."
Natural reading materials, calligraphy practice can be fascinated.
Aunt Zhuqing came, and when she saw Lu Changgong, she greeted Lin Yunwan and said, "Madam, I will leave after a few words."
Lu Changgong lowered his head consciously, not listening to the two of them.
Zhu Qing whispered in Lin Yunwan's ear: "Last night, Mother Yan sent away all the wives in the side courtyard. The son didn't show up in front of people all day. Master Qing's throat is also hoarse today."
Lin Yunwan smiled at her.
This Zhuqing was really a formidable executioner, he hit the vitals with his knife and knife.
"Okay, you go back first. Come back when I'm free."
"The concubine retire."
Zhu Qing walked away with a smile. Ge Baoer wanted to hook up with the prince and become the aunt of Wudinghou's mansion?no way.
Even without a serious status, she dared to persuade the eldest son to let her drink Bizi soup. She was really going to become the aunt of the Hou's mansion, and she didn't know how to push her nose and face!
"Mother Yan, the prince is looking for you."
Yan's mother had just served the old lady to sleep, and a girl came over to pass on the message.
She looked puzzled: "What do you want from me?"
