Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 123, Feng

The nephews had already returned, and Qi Xi, who was left alone, didn't fall asleep right away. In fact, he was also cold, and Beijing was to the north.

Qi Xi couldn't sleep, she was alone for a long time, but she didn't send any money.

The wind and snow were blowing against the windows, spreading more cold in the night. At this hour, some people in the inner house of the Hou's Mansion were still wistful but did not fall asleep.

Under the snowy night sky, Nanyang Marquis Mansion is similar to other houses in Beijing, like pure white jade. This mansion occupies half of Wanbazi Alley. When it was first built, the front and back streets were demolished, and there were three entrances in total. The courtyard, plus a garden on each side, plus four cross-yards, can imagine the scenery when the first Nanyang Hou got it.

The main room in the second entrance is, of course, the residence of the Marquis of Nanyang. The courtyard in the third entrance, commonly known as the back cover room, does not live in Luan Jing, who lives in the back cover room too close to his parents. As a running dog, although his mother doted on him, he was still afraid of his parents' opposition.

When Luan Jing became a teenager, the Marquis of Nanyang put away his licentious behavior and focused on finding a career in official career. When he was serious, his son was afraid of him.

Luan Jing lived in the cross courtyard of the West Garden, with three main rooms plus the East and West Wings, which was the closest to the West Corner Gate.

Layers of flowers and trees come from the extension of the garden. After the snow has hardened, it blocks the courtyard tightly. At this time, the candles in the main room are brightly lit. When viewed from a distance last night, there were only a few candles.

When night comes, it can be called quiet.

The second daughter of the Marquis of Qinghe, Feng Shi, the newly married grandmother of the eldest son, leaned on the brocade mattress embroidered with red lotus flowers, holding a snow-white cat in her arms. There was no trace of anger on her face, and her chest still heaved slightly.

She was born well, with a snow-white oval face, greasy skin, a fine nose, and red lips. When she is calm, she naturally has the dignity of a noble girl from the noble family, and the indifference that is used to being rich.

When her heart also calmed down and slowly wandered, sleepiness hit her inadvertently, Feng Shi yawned, and the girl Xi Ji who was waiting on the side was startled suddenly, and became angry again.

The girl Chunhong was helpless for a moment, and then changed to be cautious, and softly said in a low voice: "Grandma should go to sleep, the day is like this, the son will not come back today, it is important for grandma to rest."

"I won't wait for him!"

Feng said stiffly, and after stroking a few white cats, he said flatly: "Look, if the son comes home, will he go to see his father-in-law? Hoo!" At the end, there was a suppressed sound Can't help sneering.

Chunhong also frowned. Under the candlelight, she was dressed smartly and gorgeously, compared with ordinary girls, but she was not Feng's dowry, she was Luan Jing's liaison. After Feng's marriage, she always had Chunhong to accompany her at night. This was an insult to the maids in the room, and it was also a blow to the differences in the status of master and servant among the maids.

Feng Shi can't sleep, and Chunhong can't sleep either. Feng Shi's troubles, although Chunhong wants to secretly smile, but she can't smile is also the same trouble.

Chunhong didn't know if Feng asked her on purpose, anyway, in Chunhong's view, this was a blatant humiliation.

The girl Chunhong who came out of Mrs. Hou's room in Nanyang, in terms of her beauty and her self-conceived means, when Feng Shi did not enter the door, she dominated the country in Luan Jing's room. Luan Jing had two concubines who passed Ming Road, Zhang Shi and Wu From time to time, she would please Chunhong, hoping that Chunhong would not prevent Luan Jing from coming to their room.

In such a family, the young men grow up and put two concubines in the room in a serious manner before they get married. Luan Jing has been engaged for a long time and wanders outside every day. When Mrs. Hou hears the news, she will give Luan Jing spring red , In the year before they got married, I asked Mrs. Qinghe Hou, my in-laws, and picked out two girls from the original girls to show their faces, but they didn't have Chunhong, and gave the proud Chunhong a blow.

Chunhong knew in her heart that she wanted to dominate Luan Jing and offend too many people in the room. Two girls in Mrs. Hou's room were prevented by her from coming, and she hated her to the bone. Well, she is still sure, believe it In the near future, there will still be her place in Shizi's concubine, and then, Shizi is engaged again, and flat wives means that there must be two mistresses in this room.

A civilian girl running around on the street can also become Hou Shizi's equal wife, which makes Chunhong's anxiety burst out for no reason. What about her, isn't she more important than the street girl?

Minnv's family members came to pay respects to relatives today. Feng Shi was very troubled when she found out, and Chunhong was even more troubled.

If Feng asked, would the eldest son go directly to his father-in-law instead of going back to his room after returning home? Chunhong sounded like an insult to herself.

Look, you have been in this room for a few years, are you not as good as a commoner girl?
Chunhong was secretly angry, thinking that beating people would not be slapping in the face, Shizi's grandma is freshly married, as long as Shizi is at home, she will be the leader, if she doesn't let Shizi have a little time, why beat others when she is so proud?
Besides, there is going to be another flat wife in this room, and I have already stabbed countless knives in my heart, and I can't stand Grandma Shizi stabbing him again.

Chunhong replied neither soft nor hard: "If the son meets the countryman, it should be, but I think that after the son returns home, he must go back to this room to change his clothes before seeing the guests."

Listening to the first sentence, Feng sneered more and more, squinting his eyes: "You know what should be and what should not be. Could it be the rules of this house that I don't know?"

Chunhong lowered her eyes, not daring to meet her eyes, then softened her voice, and replied softly: "Now that grandma is in the room, there is no such thing as the rules of this house and the rules of that house."

Feng Shi pursed her lips and sneered, and ignored her, Chunhong stood with her hands lowered, and did not provoke her.

One is a girl from the mansion gate, and the other is a girl from an aristocratic family. They both know that it is okay for wives and concubines to argue occasionally, but it is better to be cautious when fighting seriously.

Feng Shi is really angry, Chunhong can't provoke her, Feng Shi really has nothing to do, and others will say that the new daughter-in-law is embarrassing and unvirtuous, so this is the right time, let Feng Shi worry It wasn't Chunhong, but the Ping wife who suddenly appeared when she was overwhelmed with joy before getting married.

Feng continued to caress her cat. After a while, Chunhong graciously poured tea to moisten her. After Feng took a sip of tea, she sighed and said to Chunhong, "Forget it, I'll go to sleep. You are right, can you not enter the room when the son comes back?"

Chunhong felt that the words were aimed at her, and that she was seductive. Chunhong laughed together: "Grandma said yes, and grandma just sleeps. If the son is willing to come back in the middle of the night, I will tell his grandma to wait for a long time." .”

This seems to show her heart, saying that she doesn't cut off, Feng Shi is a noble girl after all, it is impossible to act as a jealous woman just after getting married, besides, she is jealous and does not fight with the girl, what is the girl?She hummed with a half-smile, took off her little jacket and fell asleep.

Luan Jing didn't come back, Feng Shi didn't blame her, her father and her elder brother lived like this, Feng Shi couldn't see her father Qinghe Hou looking for flowers and sleeping willows, but she could hear her mother complaining about old things , this kind of family has long branded her, a man would be absurd when he was young, but it would be fine when he was old.

But it's ridiculous to have a flat wife, what's the matter?
