Sofang Pavilion.

Listening to Xilan's ridicule, Hongwen, who was slightly red-faced, immediately laughed and scolded: "You dead girl, you are used to letting go, I'm afraid that I will say that you are slow to come, but what do you say first, how can it hurt and dizzy." Hmph, you don't have to be verbose, I understand your thoughts. ”

Xilan smiled: "I just ask grandma to understand the slave's heart, what else does the girl have to say?"

Hongwen glanced at her, while Xilan looked at Mu Ming, who was stupid, and said, "I knew you were still talking here, so I might as well ask you to fetch tea for me just now, hehe!" Wouldn't it save you the pain and dizziness of your feet?"

Mu Ming had nothing to say for a while, so he had to blush and laugh.

"Grandma, sit down for a while, I'll go out for a walk." Xilan took the opportunity to go out and play for a while.

Hongwen thought she was saying this on purpose, and said unhappily: "Where are you going to fool around?" Don't go, I'm going back. ”

Xilan said dissatisfiedly: "Your old man is really inconsiderate of us, I naturally have a place to go, is it difficult to say it in front of him?" I made it clear just now. ”

After saying that, she didn't care that a pair of lonely men and widows were together, and she didn't look back to find someone to play.

Can this damn girl dare to pinch me? Hongwen couldn't help but feel a little angry, and after thinking about it, that girl may not see through anything, it's just a child's playfulness, maybe it's convenient for internal urgency, or maybe it's to show that she has the same heart with me.

Mu Ming looked at Xilan's bouncing figure and said with a smile: "This Xilan girl has also sharpened out, I remember the first two years of coming, and I didn't dare to say a word loudly. Now I'm not articulate, and I'm very good at saying a few naughty words. ”

Hongwen smiled and said calmly: "But all the girls think about making things strange at such an age, and they think they know why, but what does she know?" It's just nonsense. ”

Saying what she remembered, she turned to ask, "You have been making up for the deacon in the garden for half a month, right?" Why don't you come up to the top to receive the money and exchange it?"

"I've received it several times, and it's all from Grandma Shen's side." Mu Ming said casually.

Hongwen, who didn't want to smile, suddenly turned cold and laughed at herself: "Sure enough, you are a group of people with no conscience, and now you only recognize the grandmother of the new master, and you are competing to flatter you." Hum! It doesn't necessarily mean that people will say a good word for you and give you an errand. Especially since you are the person I sponsor, will she help you? Joke!"

"This." Mu Ming saw that her face suddenly turned cold, and he was so anxious that he was at a loss.

Who doesn't know about the recent turmoil? Hongwen made a shameless fuss and was robbed of help? Besides, there was a little personal relationship between the two before, how dare they go to her house to ask for trouble?

I heard Hongwen say slowly: "Okay, you didn't know it was me before, and you didn't blame you for not being able to reply to me." Did you know that my wife also sent me to help me in charge of the house? When Grandma Shen doesn't have free time, you always have to go back and forth to me. Besides, when you go from the garden to her, you have to pass by in front of my courtyard, so why don't you come in and say hello sooner or later? Have you seen your hearts in your hearts, and have you ever taken me, the untimely half of the master, in your eyes? If you don't stand firm, will you have nothing to ask me for? I said you have no conscience, but are you wrong?"

"Oops, oops." Mu Ming pretended to be blushing and had a thick neck, and said hurriedly: "You really want to kill a good person unjustly, don't believe it and ask Miss Xilan." I go to the upper room every afternoon to ask for peace, because the weather is hot, I am afraid that grandma you are enjoying the cold, and it is inconvenient to live and not enter the door. If I say that I look down on my grandmother, what is the matter? We are all the same masters, do we dare to divide each other? Don't talk about you, even the old housekeeper in the house for many years, now that he has retired as a deacon, I don't dare to look down on him. Do you want to believe it, just ask me to make a poisonous oath, and I won't be able to make it right away?"

Hongwen's face gradually returned to a smile, and she pouted, "Who wants you to swear?" Am I not wrong for you? Well, I'm just whining in front of you. In the future, I will pay attention to where there is a high deacon, if I can help you say something, I will help you do it. ”

Mu Ming was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said happily: "Thank you for your grandmother's promotion, and I am willing to go to the soup and go to the fire."

Hongwen smiled with satisfaction, seeing that she could talk into the alley, she called him up, and was about to say a few words of self-consideration, after all, she didn't worry that the wall had ears, so she walked to the railing and looked around to see if there was anyone.

Unexpectedly, he stepped on a banana leaf and slipped suddenly, so frightened that he said "oops", and the whole person was about to fall on his back, but fortunately, Mu Ming rushed over in time to help her.

In a hurry, Mu Ming's right hand happened to press on Hongwen's right breast, and she was just wearing two gauze clothes inside and outside in the summer, as if she was directly touching the meat.

Mu Ming's body immediately became numb to one side, only to feel that there was a mass of small and small objects in his palm, soft and boneless, and slippery and handless, which instantly made his blood surge, and he forgot any worries, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation to be a light beauty.

I didn't want Hongwen to shrink back, and flew a glance at him, and said angrily: "You really want to die, and you don't look anywhere?"

Before the words fell, I heard Xilan say in a loud voice on the shore: "Sister Lu'er, come and see, there is a lotus flower in this pool, it is really beautiful."

Hongwen was so frightened that she trembled all over, and hurriedly turned around to look over, Mu Ming was also so frightened that she took a few steps back, her face pale.

Sure enough, I saw Lu'er in the distance and a few other maids talking and laughing towards this side, Xilan stood at the head of the bridge, seeing that they were about to go to the bridge.

Hongwen was in a hurry, and hurriedly gave Mu Ming a look, and scolded loudly: "You don't understand the rules, do you have anything to say to go back to the upper room, is this the place to reply?" And grandma is at home, what should I ask her to show me, I don't care about the affairs of this house now. ”

Mu Ming understood, lowered his head and agreed, turned around and hurriedly left.

The two sides met head-on in the middle of the bridge, and Mu Ming muttered deliberately: "What's the big deal, I have to go up and go back, I just want to take a shortcut, is it comfortable to run around on such a hot day?" Who knew that it was really unfortunate to be reprimanded. ”

Lu'er, who came over, said, "I don't think you can be considered unlucky, or lucky!"

"Humph!" Mu Ming didn't respond, and strode across the bridge.

It is said that this green child is the maid in Du Qianqian's room, several of them came over, and inadvertently saw Hongwen and Mu Ming talking in the pavilion, and then Hongwen came out and seemed to fall, Mu Ming ran over and held on, and the men and women had physical contact.

Of course, it's nothing, who doesn't have an accident? But why did Xilan, who ran first, stand on the shore and greet them loudly? It is clear that the pavilion knows that Lu'er knows that there must be something hidden here.

At this moment, Hongwen secretly complained in her heart, if it was someone else, it would be nothing, but she was touched by a few Lu'er, and the girl who could be selected into Du Qianqian's room naturally did not have a stupid person, and there were still some old grudges between each other in the past.

Lu'er looked at Hongwen's unnatural face, and couldn't help laughing: "Auntie is also here to enjoy the cool!" It's ridiculous that Mu Ming, who ran to the pavilion to go back and forth to his aunt's words, but he hit a nail, and he complained that it was bad luck, what was wrong with it. If you want me to say that he is very good at taking shortcuts and going to Shufang Pavilion to do things, how can it be considered bad luck, it is really luck!"

Hongwen saw that there was a hint of sarcasm in her words, as if the scene had been seen, and she became more and more bitter in her heart, and this kind of thing became darker and darker, so she simply stopped talking, so as not to provoke other words.

Hongwen faintly called Xilan: "Let's go back, there is probably no sun shadow in the house."

I don't want Lu'er to have a vacancy since she became a concubine, and she was promoted to a first-class maid a few days ago, and she remembers the humiliation that Hongwen gave her back then, such as scolding her for being stupid in front of people, and she is small-minded.

Seeing that Hongwen ignored herself and looked high, Lu'er also said to Xilan: "Sister Lan, what do you want me to see and head lotus?" In fact, I saw it on the shore, what I like the most, and the head lotus, and the pedicle flower, I have to turn back and insert the bottle to enjoy it. But now that I think about it, isn't it a good lotus that meets me, an uninteresting layman, and tears them apart? What a sin, don't you say?"

Hongwen, who walked over, immediately darkened her face, and she didn't dare to fight back. And Xi Lanyan can understand that she is referring to Sang scolding Huai? I couldn't say anything for a while, but Fu Yi smiled, "I can't accompany my sisters at the moment, I want to go back with my grandmother." After a while, take a shower and come to my side to cool down and talk. ”

Saying that, she shook her hand at Lu'er a few times, and Xilan chased Hongwen and left in a hurry.

Here, Lu'er sneered, and also pulled Xiang'er around her to follow back, leaving a few confused little girls behind.

On the shore, Hongwen's master and servant quickly disappeared behind the rockery, and Lu'er said to Xiang'er: "Did you just see the situation of that slut and Mu Ming?" I knew that the old lady was not at home, and the slut must have been lonely, so he had to make a joke, which was not what I expected. ”

"Is there one?" Xiang'er was at a loss.

Lu'er sneered: "Before leaving, Mrs. specially instructed me to pay attention to the inner house, so in the past two days, I have been walking in the garden in the morning and evening, half just to prevent them." How do they dare to do that kind of thing in this place where people come and go, how bold are they?"

"I said, why do you have to come and play as soon as you see Xilan."

Xiang'er reacted, with a shocked face, who could believe that Hongwen stayed at home every day, but today she ran to Shufang Pavilion by mistake? I happened to meet Mu Ming again? Do you want Mu Ming to avoid them every time, for fear of getting suspicious, but she wants to come to her aunt to reply?

It's just a reply, why should there be a man and a woman alone? Why did Sheyla leave? It's puzzling.

Not to mention that this is an ancient time, even if the daughter-in-law and a male subordinate of later generations were openly found on the street, it is impossible to guess.

Lu'er casually pinched off a small flower and analyzed: "They must be disappointed when they are scattered by us, and eighty percent may not be willing to give up like this." After waiting for the limelight, I will find another opportunity for a tryst. Don't say anything in front of Grandma Shen when you go back, don't even mention Sister Meinu. From tomorrow onwards, you and I will secretly double our precautions, secretly observe her with cold eyes, and remember not to be discovered by her, if we can see the slightest flaw, then her handle will be in our hands. ”

"Humph!" Lu'er smiled coldly and crushed Xiaohua to pieces, "I can't just say it, so that everyone can see, shame that slut, and help the big guy report his old grievances." ”

"Oh." Xiang'er stuck out her tongue, "What if you are discovered?"

"Then I had to go back to Grandma Shen immediately, and when it spread out, it made her lose face." Lu'er gloated, "It's that she didn't have the handle to fall, she wasn't afraid of us, and told her to hold a grudge from now on and beware everywhere." ”

"I understand, if we don't get it, we will be scolded and unfounded." Xiang'er nodded again and again, and scolded indignantly: "I am ashamed of Hongwen's slut, the lord and wife treat her so well, almost no less than the young lady, and she is promoted to an aunt, what a beauty?" But if she still wants to do these unseemly things, isn't she losing her conscience? Not only do I have to avenge my sisters' revenge, but even I feel haunted. ”

Xiang'er used to be a maid in Du Qianqian's room, and she was trained by Hongwen a lot. After Aunt Shen took care of the house, one of the people who was specially transferred over was also ordered to have at least two to four decent maids to serve according to the rules.

In contrast, Hongwen only has a maid, always reminding her that she will always be a half-master and half-slave.

The two maids walked to the intersection of the breakup, and Lu'er told Xiang'er again, and then dispersed.

Gongyuan backstreet, Sun's house.

After taking a nap, listening to the sound of reading aloud next door, Sun Huiruo came to find her sister and found that her bedroom had been moved to the attic.

Climbing up the ladder, Sun Huiruo asked, "Why did my sister move here?"

"It's going to get cooler in a few days, and you know I've always liked high accommodations." Sun Huixin greeted her. ”

The two entered the bedroom, Sun Huiruo looked at a few books on the bedside, and said, "I know you moved it on purpose, because you were afraid of being bumped into by your mother, right?"

"Why do you say that?" Sun Huixin frowned.

Sun Huiruo took a meal and said with a smile: "The last time I embroidered pillows, I was tired, I walked to your room, and saw another book of the West Chambers on the table, and I couldn't stand it after reading half of it, isn't this kind of pen and ink afraid of going to hell?" Sister, if there's anything better, lend me a look. ”

Sun Huixin smiled and reached out to pinch her sister's little nose, and said with a smile: "This kind of song is not what our girl's family should see, and you dare to borrow it if you lose it?" But I really like the author's talent, and the unimaginable melodramatic lyrics, and I can't put it down in private, so I have to hide in the attic to watch it, but I don't dare to borrow you, and be discovered by the elders, that's amazing. ”

If Sun Hui is honest by nature, that's it, she doesn't know that Shen Tao deliberately made some novels such as the Legend of the West Chamber, wanting to impress her sister's heart, not only a story of the West Chamber, but also some boudoir red, butterfly edge, Luoyang interesting history and so on.

These miscellaneous books are often regarded as treasures for young boys and girls, and in the era when counseling is extremely underdeveloped, they are like divine books, opening a mysterious door to young men and women. Of course, the absurd romance novels before the Ming Dynasty are all written in simple writing and concise in wording, which are difficult for modern people to understand, and they are far from being compared with later novels in terms of the description of explicit plots.

At this time, there was no distinction between men and women, but all those who loved books had a very high level of education, and they often scoffed at passages full of vernacular or too explicit passages, especially girls especially loved poetry and opera with a relatively elegant style.

But can you point out that the ancients were more elegant than the moderns? It's not right, because I can't stand up to those incredible illustrations, which are more direct and hot than words, and can make people panic and think at a glance. (To be continued......)
