Ming Dynasty: My Father Zhang Juzheng

Chapter 195 The show begins

The freezing rain stopped just as the dawn broke.

Last night, a thunderclap suddenly sounded late in the afternoon, bringing with it a cold rain that continued until dawn. After this cold rain, Beijing also began to get colder, entering autumn completely.

Sitting on the large camphorwood bed in the middle of Zhang Yunxiu's bedroom, Lu Ruo, with a flushed face and tears on her cheeks, was awakened by a gust of cold air.

He muttered subconsciously in his sleep and stretched out his arms to the side.

But in the end, I only touched empty bedding.

She opened her eyes in shock and found that Zhang Yunxiu had disappeared.

Is this a dream?
hiss.
No, this is my brother-in-law's bed.

Moreover, the tearing feeling coming from her body and the passion between the two of them last night in her mind were telling her.

This is not a dream.

The two of them really had a romantic night last night.

Zhang Yunxiu's hot body temperature, strong chest, and rapid breathing.
They are all still fresh in her memory.

"Bad son-in-law. He wants to leave after taking everything." After thinking about it, Luoluo understood something instantly. She sat up, buried her head in her knees, and sobbed softly.

I clearly called her "Little Green Radish" last night.

When I woke up this morning, I couldn't find anyone. Could it be that he hates me so much?
After sitting alone on the bed for two quarters of an hour, he struggled to get up and put on his clothes. However, he found that his clothes had been torn into pieces by Zhang Yunxiu.

In just a moment, Green Ivy's little face turned red again.

"Young Madam, are you awake?" Just at this moment, a soft voice suddenly came from outside the house.

Little lady?
Luoluo was stunned and didn't know that she was being called, so she didn't answer.

At this time, the same shout was heard outside: "Madam Luluo, the master asked me to ask if you are awake. If you are awake, let us help you bathe and change clothes."

"Wake up." Luoluo realized that he was calling her. She was about to agree, but when she thought of her dirty and naked appearance, she changed her words and said, "Well, I'm not feeling well. You...you guys bring the clothes in first."

"Yes." The door was pushed open, and several maids came in. After putting down a few sets of clothes beside the bed, they retreated.

After making sure that everyone had left, Luluo poked her little head out from under the quilt.

Take a closer look.

Tube top and stockings are not mentioned for now

There are five sets of outerwear alone.

Three of them are tight-fitting long skirts and two are cotton robes.

The most valuable one among them was the one in the middle, a snow-white velvet dress. She had seen it in a shop before, and it cost a full one hundred taels of silver.

Although she was Xu Ruoxi's maid before, she couldn't afford such clothes.

When he saw it, his eyes widened immediately.

After a simple body cleanup, Green Ivy put on her long skirt with pride, like a victorious rooster.

He looked at himself in the bronze mirror as tall as a person.

At this time, there were faint discussions outside the door: "Green ivy is really lucky. She is crazy on weekdays, but now she has become a phoenix by flying up to the tree."

"Humph, isn't she just relying on being the maid of the eldest lady?" A sour voice sounded, "In terms of appearance and the assets of being a woman, how are we worse than her?"

"Hehehe, then tonight, you should sneak up on the young master's bed."

"Go ahead, do you think I don't dare?"

"."

Hearing the discussions outside, Green Radish felt as sweet as if she had eaten candied fruit.

She stared at her lost youthful self in the mirror, bit her lip, chuckled, and then put her hair in a bun behind her head.

Then, he held his head high, pushed the door open and walked out of the bedroom.

Outside, the maids who were still talking stopped talking, looked at Luluo respectfully, and said, "Third Madam, we were all sent by Second Madam to serve you, and we will be under your command from now on."

Green Rose glanced around, nodded slightly, and asked, "Where is the young master?"

"The young master is out." A maid with almond-shaped eyes and a slightly fierce look answered.

"Where did you go?!" Luoluo panicked and asked subconsciously.

"How dare this servant ask?" "Oh."

Luoluo frowned and responded. An older maid stepped forward and suggested, "Madam San, your courtyard has been divided. Why don't you go and take a look and then wash up?"

"Alright."

By the time Luluo finished all this, it was almost noon. Yesterday, in order to please Zhang Yunxiu, she gritted her teeth and stubbornly let him torment her as he pleased.

By the end, she felt like her body was falling apart.

When she woke up this morning, her status suddenly improved, and a sense of freshness surged in her heart, which was the support pillar. Now that she was busy with all this, without a goal, Luluo felt dizzy and her stomach was growling.

A sharp-eyed maid saw this and hurriedly asked someone to bring some cakes.

After eating two bites of green radish, I felt better.

Afterwards, she came to the guest table in her own bedroom and sat down, with the maids standing in a row in front of her.

Thinking of Xu Ruoxi's appearance, Luluo put on a majestic look and scolded, "When you follow me in the future, you must abide by the rules. Otherwise, if you break the family rules, I will not forgive you."

"Yes." All the maids answered in unison.

"Go down, I'll take a rest, call me back in an hour."

"Yes."

Several maids knelt down, bowed, and then left the room.

Green ivy was about to take off her shoes and lazily fall into bed to rest. Suddenly, a laughing voice sounded outside: "You little lazy bug, you still want to sleep now."

"Little miss."

Luoluo looked up and saw Xu Ruoxi walking in with her belly bulging. She stood up as if she had received an electric shock, took two or three steps forward, and helped Xu Ruoxi to sit down at the guest table in the middle of the room.

Glancing up and down at Luoluo, Xu Ruoxi nodded secretly in her heart when she saw that she had lost her youthfulness and had become more charming like a young woman.

Soon, a trace of sadness arose in my heart again.

No matter how generous a woman is, she is unwilling to share her husband with another woman, even if that woman is a good friend she has grown up with.

"Young lady, what's wrong with you?" Perhaps noticing Xu Ruoxi's mood change, Luluo tilted her head, raised her eyes slightly, and asked timidly.

"Nothing!" Xu Ruoxi grabbed Luluo's hand and asked her to sit next to her. "Don't call me Miss anymore. You and I grew up together, and you are younger than me."

"Call me sister from now on."

"That won't do." Luoluo stood up suddenly.

"Sit down!" Xu Ruoxi said with a stern face, "If you still recognize me as your lady, you should call me sister from now on. Otherwise, don't come to see me again."

Luoluo was anxious and subconsciously wanted to call her "Miss". When she saw Xu Ruoxi's angry look, she changed her words and said "Little Sister."

"That's right." Xu Ruoxi smiled, stood up, looked around the room, and said, "This room has just been cleaned up. If you feel like you're missing something, go out and buy it yourself."

"If you need any clothes, go buy them yourself."

"I knew that little sister loved me!" Luoluo hugged Xu Ruoxi and started to act coquettishly in her arms with a smile on her face.

Xu Ruoxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry and could only let the little girl hold her.

That evening, Zhang Yunxiu returned from outside.

At the dinner, Zhang Yunxiu sat at the main seat, Xu Ruoxi and Zheng Xier sat on each side, and sitting opposite them was the timid Luluo.

Zhang Yunxiu smiled and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, you can sit here to eat from now on. You are already familiar with Ruoxi, and Xier is also a very nice person, so relax."

"Thank you, son-in-law." Luoluo hooked her head under the table and called timidly.

"Why are you still calling me son-in-law?" Zheng Xier blinked her almond eyes and joked.

"Master." Luoluo changed her tone.

"Okay, okay, call me whatever you want." Zhang Yunxiu waved his hands impatiently and ordered people to pick up their chopsticks and start eating.

Seven or eight days passed after that.

Green ivy also gradually transformed from a maid to half-mistress and became much more easy-going.

On the other side, in Jinan, Shandong, the center of the storm, the sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder rumbled, and a heavy rain was about to pour down at any time.
