Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 279
Gu Yunniang hugged Huang Laifu tightly and shed tears, she murmured: "Sister-in-law, I miss you, I miss you every day and night!"

Huang Laifu caressed her affectionately, and said softly: "Yunniang, I miss you too, how about this, when I come back from the frontier fortress, I will pick you up to Ningwu Pass, and we will be together every day from now on!"

Gu Yunniang immediately smiled through her tears, and hummed tenderly.

……

On the second day, Huang Laifu took Huang Lingbin to inspect various farms and livestock farms outside Wuzhai Fort. When they returned to the mansion to rest at night, according to the order, they should go to Liu Yumei's room to accompany her tonight.

For Huang Laifu's arrival, Liu Yumei was both flustered and happy, but she just tried her best to cater to Huang Laifu...

After the cloud and rain, Liu Yumei leaned tightly on Huang Laifu's chest and murmured: "My lord, I feel that I am very useless!"

Huang Laifu put one arm around her and said, "Why do you say that?"

Liu Yumei said: "All the sisters in the mansion can help the lord, but the slave family has nothing to do all day long and can't solve the lord's worries at all, so the slave family feels that they..."

At this point, she sobbed.Although many people in Wuzhai Fort envy Liu Yumei's good luck, being favored by adults, and finally marrying into the Huang's mansion to live a good life, it can be said that she flies on a branch and becomes a phoenix.The people of her natal family also developed accordingly.However, in the Huang Mansion, Liu Yumei is the most insecure person. Due to her status, her personality is inherently sensitive and timid. Coupled with other people's intentional or unintentional gazes, her heart becomes more anxious, fearing that one day she will be in front of her. The good times in the mansion are gone.

Although Gu Yunniang also told her today that she brought her younger sister Liu Erniu into the mansion and Huang Laifu as a concubine.For this matter, Liu Yumei is naturally happy for her younger sister. In the past few years, her younger sister has become more and more arrogant, and she has read some books in her spare time, but she does not read serious books such as "The Commandments of Women" and "Biography of Martyr Girls". However, she was fascinated by Zhao Feiyan's storytelling. She privately believed that her sisters were very similar to the Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede sisters in history books. They were discriminated against because of their poor family background.They are also naturally beautiful, so they can join hands with the sisters to win Huang Laifu's favor in the house and live a happy life of their own.

Regarding her sister's thoughts, Liu Yumei just shook her head. Although she would have more support after her sister married in, the sense of insecurity was always lingering in her heart.Liu Yumei privately analyzed that Huang Laifu was not the kind of person obsessed with women, and the methods of Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede would not work on him.She still thinks that if she can help Huang Laifu and strengthen her position in his mind, it will be the most powerful. The younger sister's method is putting the cart before the horse.Because a woman's appearance has a limited number of years, she will always look old and faded, and be compared to other new beauty concubines.

Seeing Liu Yumei like this, Huang Laifu was taken aback for a moment. All these years, his mind was on his career. Even if he paid attention to the women in his family, he mostly focused on Gu Yunniang, ignoring Liu Yumei and other women's little thoughts. He hugged Liu Yumei tightly, She said softly: "You don't have to be like this. I married you, so I will treat you well, not because of whether you helped me."

He pondered for a while, and said: "Of course, if you are bored in the mansion, you can go out to do things. Didn't you do a good job in the Publicity Bureau before? You can come out and continue."

Liu Yumei happily said: "Your Excellency won't think that the slave's family is leaving the house to show their faces outside and embarrass you?"

Huang Laifu smiled and said: "My husband is also a reasonable person. A woman must have her own career and space in order to be beautiful. What kind of person am I, Huang Laifu, how can the gossip of idlers outside affect me? Who would dare I'll break his leg if he chews his tongue behind his back!"

Liu Yumei groaned, hugged Huang Laifu tightly, and said intoxicatedly, "My lord, you are such a hero!"

Being praised by his own woman like this, Huang Laifu couldn't help being dissatisfied,...

On the second day and the third night, Huang Laifu continued to spend the night in Meiyue and Liuhuan's house. These two women worshiped Huang Laifu in awe.The two of them are Gu Yunniang's dowry girls, and because they gave birth to a son for Huang Laifu, they were able to improve their status and became one of the concubines.Coupled with Huang Laifu's tolerance and kindness towards them, the two of them have long been satisfied and have no other extravagant wishes.

When they were on the bed, they tried their best to cater to Huang Laifu's movements. After doing it, Huang Laifu told them some interesting things outside, and they giggled from time to time, or they opened their eyes wide, covered their mouths, and worshiped Huang Laifu. Looking at Huang Laifu carefully, he said, "Wow...!"

"Wow!"

……

Another night, in Qu Xiuhe's room.

In Huang's mansion, Huang Laifu's wives and concubines each have a set of exquisite small buildings and several personal servants.In addition, Qu Xiuhe's natal family was a big merchant with huge wealth, so the things used in Qu Xiuhe's house can be said to be all fine.

The building where Qu Xiuhe lives is called "Aiwan Building". At this time, the lights on the upper floor are overflowing, the curtains are lightly hanging, and it is as warm as spring.On the small table in front of the bed, Qu Xiuhe was dressed in light red sable fur, with a fur apron around her neck, a big rhinoceros jade hairpin in her hair, and red mandarin duck shoes on her feet, making her look even more elegant and graceful. .

Beside the brass charcoal fire, tea was being boiled on an exquisite small stove. Qu Xiuhe sat with a smile, and looked at Huang Laifu from time to time, her eyes were flowing, her face was flushed, and she was quite charming.Huang Laifu sat on a huanghuali official hat chair and looked at her. In his impression, Qu Xiuhe had always been beautiful, as if she could not eat fireworks. Today, this kind of charm is rare.

Huang Laifu felt very strange about Qu Xiuhe, as if she was not the daughter of a merchant, but the daughter of a scholarly family.For example, the women in the mansion are all vying to beg for his favor, but Qu Xiuhe seems to be dispensable.Back then, she married into Huang's mansion because she had a good relationship with Gu Yunniang. Anyway, she was going to marry, and she thought Huang Laifu was also good, and she could talk to Gu Yunniang all the time in the mansion, so she came in.

After entering the mansion, he also lived a leisurely life with no desires or desires. Although he helped Gu Yunniang with some accounting matters from time to time, he was not interested in wealth and did not ask Huang Laifu to favor her all the time.Huang Laifu always thought that if this Qu Xiuhe was born in later generations, she must be a cold person.But luckily on the bed, Qu Xiuhe's reaction still satisfied Huang Laifu, which comforted him somewhat.But if Huang Laifu didn't go to bed with her, she would still have a relaxed and happy life, which made Huang Laifu a little frustrated.

Soon, the tea was brewed and came out steaming hot.

After a few drinks and a few words, Huang Laifu felt quite comfortable.At this time, several maidservants of Qu Xiuhe came in again, and placed some refined vegetables and a steaming hot pot on the table.Huang Laifu said: "That's right, it's just what I want." Just as he was about to eat, Qu Xiuhe said with a smile: "Tonight the moon is shining in the sky, isn't your lord not poetic?"

Huang Laifu was a little embarrassed at the time. Although he has read many Tang poems and Song poems in later generations, he has forgotten most of them until now, and he can't think of any poems that fit the occasion. Unfortunately, he didn't have a laptop with him, so he couldn't look it up.After searching for a long time, he finally came up with a poem: "It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat drips down to the soil. Whoever reads the food on the plate, every grain of it is hard work."

He sighed as he spoke, and said, "Every porridge, every meal, every drink and every meal are the hard-earned income of the people, and we must cherish them!"

As he spoke, he picked up a shredded pork roll and ate it.

Qu Xiuhe couldn't help but giggled and covered her mouth with a smile: "Your Excellency wants to recite poems, why did you take the poems of Nie Xianwei from Tang Dynasty as your own?"

The maidservants serving beside her also smiled snickeringly.

Huang Laifu sighed: "Your husband is a rough man, he only knows how to wield knives and guns. This recitation of poems and songs makes things difficult for me!"

Qu Xiuhe said with a smile: "Your Excellency is the most important general of the country. Why should he underestimate himself?"

She took a pipa, plucked it lightly with her fingers, and sang a few times, it sounded like broken jade, and sang a ditty, which was "On the Moon" popular from Jiangsu and Zhejiang: "When Yue Lang made an appointment to the moon, I can’t see him on the top of the mountain, hey! Fu Zhinu is on the low mountain and the moon is early. Hey! Fu Zhilang is on the high mountain and the moon is late..."

Most of Mingshi's love songs are straightforward and bold. Huang Laifu did not expect such a beautiful woman as Qu Xiuhe, so he pulled Qu Xiuhe into his arms.

Qu Xiuhe moaned coquettishly, rolled her eyes at Huang Laifu, and said, "If you're so anxious, there are others watching."

Huang Laifu said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, we are all one family!"

　
Huang Laifu wanted to hug Qu Xiuhe to the bed, Qu Xiuhe looked at Huang Laifu with winking eyes, and said with a smile: "What is your lord anxious about?"

Qu Xiuhe hugged Huang Laifu tightly, panting from time to time, her hair was loose, so Huang Laifu couldn't see her face clearly.After a while, Qu Xiuhe suddenly said something in a muffled voice, "My lord, I ask you one thing."

Huang Laifu said, "What's the matter?"

Qu Xiuhe said: "Eldest brother has been in Wuzhaibao for many years, and now fourth brother's affairs are getting more and more busy. Elder brother wants to ask me to tell you something, can I share some affairs for fourth brother? Let him manage some?"

Huang Laifu was stunned, and said: "So it's this matter, didn't Yuan Rui do a good job? Let him continue to take care of those things. You are a woman, so don't get involved in the affairs between your brothers."

As she spoke, her expression and tone were a little displeased, and the hand that was holding Qu Xiuhe loosened a little.I thought that tonight Qu Xiuhe was so charming and took the initiative to seduce herself, so it was because of this, so that she could have a good time with her pillow afterwards.

Of course Huang Laifu knew about the affairs between Qu Yuanrui, his elder brother Qu Liangwan, and his father Qu Tingzhu.Qu Liangwan was jealous of his fourth younger brother Qu Yuanrui, and wanted to participate in the sale of grain in Wuzhai Fort. His father, Qu Tingzhu, was interested in the post of president of the Wuzhai Fort Chamber of Commerce, but Huang Laifu was a nostalgic person. When I cooperated with Qu Yuanrui back then, I promised him to lead the commercial affairs. I can't break my promise. Now Qu Yuanrui is also doing a good job, of course he should continue to do it.Qu Xiuhe is a girl, it is really unwise to get involved in these things.

Qu Xiuhe turned around and remained silent. Huang Laifu couldn't see her expression clearly, but her heart was pierced by a knife. She was originally a person who had no desires and desires, and she never liked to be involved in intrigues. Except for talking with Gu Yunniang, she has always been alone and free from disputes with others.It’s just that my eldest brother loved me since childhood and responded to every request. Qu Xiuhe was also grateful in my heart. My eldest brother begged me many times before I agreed to talk to Huang Laifu. In the end, when this result came out, Qu Xiuhe breathed a sigh of relief while feeling distressed. , thinking: "Brother, Fifth Sister has done her best, I can't help you anymore."

Huang Laifu turned around and saw that Qu Xiuhexiang's shoulders were twitching uncontrollably, obviously crying, he smiled and said softly: "My darling, don't cry, you are so pure, just like a white flower Snow lotus, you shouldn't have been involved in some scandalous affairs, and you have been tarnished for no reason."

On November 24, the 26th year of Wanli, after inspecting various military and civil affairs of Wuzhai Fort, and accompanying his lovely wife and son for a few days, Huang Laifu led hundreds of armored cavalry to leave Wuzhai Fort and head for the old camp. land.
