Shufang Pavilion. ¡Ñ, After hearing Xilan¡¯s teasing, the blushing Hongwen immediately laughed and scolded: ¡°You damn girl, you are used to being naughty. You are afraid that I will say that you are slow to come, but you will say something about your feet and head first, why does it hurt? Oh, I¡¯m so dizzy. Humph, you don¡¯t need to be nagging, I understand what you¡¯re thinking.¡± Xilan smiled and said, ¡°I just hope grandma understands what I¡¯m thinking. What else can I say?¡± Hongwen rolled her eyes at her, while Xilan looked at her. Looking at the dumbfounded Mu Ming, he said: "If I had known you were still talking here, I might as well have asked you to get tea for me just now, hee hee! Wouldn't it save my feet from pain and dizziness?" Mu Ming was speechless for a moment. He said, he had to smile and blush. "Grandma, sit down for a while and I'll go out for a walk." Xilan took the opportunity to go out and play for a while. Hongwen thought she said this on purpose and said displeasedly: "Where are you going to fool around again? Don't leave, I'm going back." Xilan said dissatisfied: "You old man really doesn't care about us, so of course I want to Is it possible to tell him where she went? She made it clear just now. "After that, she didn't care that a man and a woman were alone, and went to find someone to play with without looking back. Does this damn girl still dare to touch me? Hongwen couldn't help but feel a little angry. Then she thought about it, that girl may not have seen through anything, she was just a child's playfulness. Maybe it was a matter of internal urgency, or maybe she used this to show that she was of the same mind as me. Mu Ming looked at Xilan's bouncing figure and smiled: "This girl Xilan has also been tempered. I remember that in the first two years when I first came here, I didn't dare to say a word loudly. Now I am so articulate and good at speaking. "A few naughty words." Hongwen smiled and said calmly: "When you are such an old girl, you think you know everything, but what does she know? It's just nonsense." When she remembered something, she turned to ask: "It's been half a month since you became the deacon in the garden, right? Why don't you come up to collect money and exchange things?" "I've collected money several times. , these are all replies 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 all a group of heartless people. Now you only recognize the new head of the house, grandma, and you are vying to flatter her. Humph! I don't think anyone will say it for you. I'll give you a good job. Especially if you are my sponsor, will she help you? It's a joke!" "This." Mu Ming saw her face suddenly turned cold and became anxious. Who doesn't know about the recent turmoil? Hongwen was embarrassed and was deprived of her helper. Besides, there was an affair between the two of them before, so how dare they go to her room and ask for trouble? Just listen to Hongwen say slowly: "Well, it's not your fault that you didn't know it was me before and couldn't reply to me. Did you know that my wife also sent me to help with the house? When Grandma Shen has no time, you always have to reply to me. . Besides, when you go from the garden to her, you have to pass by the gate of my courtyard. Why don't you come in and say hello, sooner or later? It also shows how much you care about my untimely half-master. Have you passed? If you can stand firm, you won't be able to blame me for anything? I said you have no conscience, am I wrong?" "Oh, oh," Mu Ming pretended to blush and look anxious. He said: "You really want to kill a good man unjustly. If you don't believe me, ask Miss Xilan. I go to the upper room every afternoon to say hello. Because of the hot weather, I'm afraid that grandma, you are enjoying the cool air and it's inconvenient to live in. If you say that I What's the point of looking down on grandma? We all have the same master, how dare we servants tell each other apart? Not to mention you, even the housekeeper who has been in the house for many years has retired as a deacon, and I don't dare to look down on him. . If you don¡¯t believe it, just ask me to make any oath, and I won¡¯t do it right away?¡± Hongwen¡¯s face gradually returned to a smile, and she curled her lips and said, ¡°Who asked you to swear? In this case, I am wrong. You? Well, I¡¯m just complaining in front of you. I¡¯ll keep an eye out for you in the future and see if there¡¯s any room for a senior deacon. If I can help you, I¡¯ll help you.¡± Mu Ming was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said joyfully: "Thank you, grandma, for your promotion. I am willing to go through fire and water, no matter what." Hongwen smiled with satisfaction, and when she saw that he was talking, she called him up, and was about to say a few words. After all, I was worried that the walls had ears, so I walked to the railing and looked around to see if anyone was there. Unexpectedly, she stepped on a banana leaf and slipped suddenly. She screamed "Ouch" and was about to fall down. Fortunately, Mu Ming rushed over in time and helped her. In the rush, Mu Ming's right hand happened to be pressed on Hongwen's right breast. Mu Ming immediately felt half of his body go numb. He felt a medium-sized, soft, boneless, and slippery object in his palm. His blood instantly surged. He forgot all worries and took advantage of the situation to be frivolous with the beauty. Fan. Hongwen didn't want to, but she shrank back, glanced at him, and said angrily: "You really want to die, why don't you look anywhere?" Before she finished speaking, she heardXilan said loudly on the shore: "Sister Lu'er, come and take a look. There is a lotus flower with two heads in this pool. It's really beautiful." Hongwen was so frightened that she trembled all over and turned around to look over. Mu Ming He was so frightened that he took a few steps back, his face turned pale. Sure enough, I saw Lu'er in the distance and several maids coming here chatting and laughing. Xilan stood at the end of the bridge, seeing that they were about to get on the bridge. Hong Wen was so anxious that she quickly winked at Mu Ming and scolded loudly: "You don't know the rules. If you have anything to say, go back to the upper room. Is this the place to answer the question? Grandma is at home. If there is anything I should ask you, She indicated that I don't care about the affairs of the house now." Mu Ming understood, lowered his head and agreed, turned around and left in a hurry. The two sides met face to face in the middle of the bridge. Mu Ming muttered deliberately: "It's not a big deal. I have to go to the top to report it. I just want to take a shortcut. Is it comfortable to run around on such a hot day? Who knew I would be scolded?" , What bad luck." Lu'er walked over and said, "I think you can't count it as bad luck, but luck!" "Huh!" Mu Ming didn't respond and strode across the bridge. It was said that this Lu'er was the maid in Du Qianqian's room. Several of them came over and accidentally saw Hongwen and Mu Ming talking in the pavilion. Later, Hongwen seemed to be about to fall when she came out, and Mu Ming ran over to hold her up. , both men and women had physical contact. Of course, this is nothing, who is not surprised? But why did Xilan, who ran first, stand on the shore and greet them loudly? It was obviously to let the pavilion know, and Lu'er knew that there must be something hidden here. At this moment, Hongwen was secretly complaining in her heart. If it were others, it would be fine, but Lu'er and the others met her. Naturally, there was no stupid girl who could be selected into Du Qianqian's room, and there were still some old grudges between them in the past. Lu'er looked at Hongwen's unnatural face and couldn't help laughing: "My aunt is here to enjoy the cool air! It's ridiculous that Mu Ming ran to the pavilion to talk to his aunt, but he hit a snag and complained that it was bad luck. , What a detour in vain. If you ask me to say that he is very good at taking shortcuts and coming to Shufang Pavilion, how can it be considered bad luck? It is really luck!" Hong Wen saw the sarcasm in her words, as if the scene just now had been revealed. Seeing this, I felt more and more miserable in my heart. This kind of thing became darker and darker, so I simply stopped talking to avoid making other remarks. Hongwen called Xilan calmly: "Let's go back. There is probably no sunlight in the house." I don't want Lu'er to have a vacancy since she became a concubine. She was promoted to a first-class maid a few days ago. I remember that Hongwen gave me The humiliation she suffered, such as calling her stupid in front of others, was so small-minded. Seeing that Hongwen ignored him and looked aloof, Lu'er also said to Xilan: "Sister Lan, what do you want me to see? In fact, I saw it on the shore. What do you like the most? Lotus and double-headed flowers, when you see them, you have to go back and put them in a vase to enjoy them. But now that I think about it, isn¡¯t it true that a good double-headed lotus has been torn apart by a common person like me? What a sin. , do you think so?" Hongwen, who walked over, immediately turned dark, as she did not dare to fight back. And how could Xilan not understand that she was criticizing Sang and Huai? It was difficult to say anything at the moment, so she could only laugh and said, "I can't accompany my sisters now. I have to go back with grandma. After you take a bath later, come to my place to enjoy the cool air and talk." " With that said, she waved her hands to Lu'er, and Xilan hurried away after Hongwen. Here Lu'er sneered and pulled Xiang'er beside him to follow him, leaving a few confused little girls behind. After landing on the shore, Hongwen's master and servant quickly disappeared behind the rockery. Lu'er said to Xiang'er: "Did you just see the situation between that woman and Mu Ming? I knew that the master and his wife were not at home, and that woman must be lonely. "I can't help but make a joke. It's not what I expected." "Is it true?" Xiang'er was confused. Lu'er sneered and said: "Before my wife left, she specifically asked me to pay attention to everything in the house, so in the past two days, I walked around the garden morning and night, partly to guard against them. I didn't know they still dared to come and go here. "How dare you do that?" "I asked you why you insisted on coming over to play when you saw Xilan." I didn't leave the house, but today I accidentally went to Shufang Pavilion? I happened to meet Mu Ming again? I thought Mu Ming always avoided them at a distance for fear of being suspected, but he still wanted to get in front of his aunt. Reply? It¡¯s just a reply, why should a man and a woman be alone? Why did Xilan leave? It¡¯s puzzling. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Even if in later generations a daughter-in-law and a male subordinate were discovered openly on the street, it would be impossible not to make people guess. Lu'er casually cut off a small flower and analyzed: "They must be disappointed when we disperse them, and they probably won't be willing to give up like this. They will probably wait for the limelight, and they will look for another chance to have a tryst. Don't go back in Shen Don¡¯t even mention it to Sister Meinu about anything you say in front of grandma. From tomorrow on, you and I will be extra careful in secret.We secretly observe her with a cold eye, and be sure not to be discovered by her. If we can see the slightest flaw, then she will be in our hands. "Huh!" Lu'er smiled coldly and crushed the little flower into pieces, "I can't say it, so I just say it so that everyone can see it, embarrass that woman to death, and help everyone avenge the old grudges." " "oh. "Xiang'er stuck out her tongue, "What should I do if I'm found out?" "Then I have to go back to Grandma Shen immediately. If the news spreads out, she will be embarrassed. Lu'er gloated, "It's just that she has no clue after all and is not afraid of us. We also told her to hold a grudge from now on and be careful in everything she does." " "I understand, maybe we will be scolded instead, which is baseless. Xiang'er nodded repeatedly and cursed angrily: "Thanks to Hong Wen for being so shameless, the master and the wife treated her so well, almost as good as the young lady, and promoted her to the title of aunt, how glorious is it? But she still Wouldn't it be a loss of conscience to do such shameful things? Not only do I want to avenge my sisters, but I also feel grudged against them. " Xiang'er used to be a maid in Du Qianqian's room, and she was often punished by Hong Wen. After Aunt Shen took charge of the house, she specially assigned one of the people to go there. She also had an order. According to the rules, there must be at least two to four decent maids to serve her. In contrast, Hongwen only has a maid, who always reminds her that she is always half master and half slave. When the two maids walked to the intersection, Lu'er warned Xiang'er again, and then they dispersed. . Gongyuan Back Street, Sun's house. After taking a nap, Sun Huiruo came to find her sister and found that her bedroom had been moved to the attic. Sun Huiruo asked, "Why did my sister move here?" " "The weather will get cooler in a few days. You know I always like Gao's residence. "Sun Huixin came out." The two entered the bedroom. Sun Huiruo glanced at the books on the bedside and said, "I know you moved it here on purpose, right?" "Why did you say that?" "Sun Huixin frowned. Sun Huiruo pointed to the head of the bed and said with a smile: "Last time I embroidered pillows. When I was tired, I walked to your room and saw another copy of The West Chamber on the table. I couldn't stand it after reading half of it. This kind of writing is not afraid of going to hell. Sister, if there is anything else good, let me have a look." Sun Huixin smiled and reached out to pinch her sister's little nose, and said with a smile: "This kind of music is not something we girls should listen to. It's a shame for you. Do you dare to borrow? But I really like the author's talent and the unimaginable plot, lyrics, and lyrics. I can't put it down privately, so I hide in the attic to watch. But I don't dare to borrow from you. If my elders find out, that would be terrible. "If Sun Hui is honest by nature, that's all. She doesn't know that Shen Tao deliberately wrote some novels such as The West Chamber to impress her sister. There is not only The West Chamber, but also The Girl in the Boudoir, Butterfly Fate, and Luoyang's Interesting History. such as. These miscellaneous books are often regarded as treasures by boys and girls. In an era when counseling was extremely underdeveloped, they were like sacred books, opening a mysterious door to young men and women. Of course, the absurd love novels before the Ming Dynasty all had simple writing styles and concise vocabulary, which were difficult for modern people to understand. In terms of descriptions of explicit plots, they were far from comparable to later novels. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of people who love books, the level of education is very high, full of vernacular or too explicit paragraphs are often scornful, especially girls are particularly fond of poetry and opera with a relatively elegant style. But can we point out that ancient people were more elegant than modern people? That¡¯s not right, because we can¡¯t stand those incredible illustrations. They are more direct and hot than the words. Just one glance can make people panic and make people think. (To be continued)
