Sun Ge nodded. Today, he is still a positive dragon-slaying young man who is dedicated to punishing evil and promoting good.
Have ideals, ambitions, and a benevolent heart.
However, there is no shortage of upright and brave dragon slayers in the world who eventually turned into evil dragons.
Alas, we are related to Sister Zhao after all.
Sunge and his party did not stay in Jiangning for too long, passing through Huizhou and arriving in Bianliang.
This time, Li Qingzhao arrived in Bianliang a year earlier than in the plot.
After Li Gefei received the news, he sent his servants and servants to wait outside the city gate early to show that he valued his legitimate wife.
"I heard that our eldest lady was once a queen from a famous family, but I don't know if she will be dazzled by the prosperity and wealth of Tokyo when she first comes here."
"According to me, why should the eldest lady come all the way to humiliate herself? The second lady is so popular with the master at the height of her power. How can a yellow-faced woman from a remote country adapt to the circle of ladies in Tokyo? I'm afraid she doesn't want to embarrass the master." The servants, wives and servants were whispering to each other. , laughing and disdainful.
"Be careful!" A middle-aged man said with a stern face.
Madam, are these people worthy of gossiping?
Over the years, the master's journey in Beijing has been so smooth, which is inseparable from the madam's generous spending.
Otherwise, with my serious temper, I would have to kowtow until my head is bleeding before I give up.
Furthermore, Mr. Wang’s granddaughter is a pearl in the world.
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the whispering servant girl quickly lowered her head.
Getting closer and closer to the city of Tokyo, Sunge leaned back and took a nap. Li Qingzhao and Li Hao raised the curtains of the carriage window and looked at the passing scenery, with a slight blush appearing on their fair and tender little faces.
Not only because of the famous Tokyo city, but also because of his father whom he has not seen for a long time.
Just hearing the horse's hooves hitting the ground, a long neighing sound, the carriage stopped smoothly.
"Meet Madam."
The middle-aged man did not call Sunge the eldest lady like others.
"The master has sent his subordinates here to welcome the lady into the city." The man's voice was clean and cold, yet respectful.
Servant: Is this gorgeous carriage going to blind them?
Who spread the rumor that the eldest lady's life was very difficult.
The coachman lifted the curtain from the outside, revealing an extremely beautiful face, looking graceful and luxurious, like a fairy concubine.
Servant:!?(_;?
Is this the yellow-faced woman they call her?
Don't they all say that the eldest lady is exposed to the wind and sunshine in the open water, and she has to do everything by herself, and she is showing her old age?
If such a bright and noble appearance is a yellow-faced woman, then they are all happy to be a yellow-faced woman.
"Thank you for your work, Zi Chun." Sunge nodded and said with a smile.
Zichun was a young boy who was bought by Li Gefei's mother in his early years and used as a domestic slave. It is said that he was an orphan who wandered around all year round.
Later, he worked as a book boy next to Li Gefei, accompanying him in reading and practicing calligraphy, and went to Beijing to seek an official position. He was given the surname Li, and he was particularly valued by Li Gefei.
Now in the mansion, he can be regarded as half a master.
Li Zichuncheng was frightened and shook his head repeatedly, "Madam, I am a subordinate."
"Please come to the city, madam. All the necessary items have been prepared in the house."
Under the welcome of Li Zichun, Sunge stepped into Bianliang City for the first time.
In the capital, every inch of land is precious under the emperor's feet, but Li Gefei bought a house early.
The courtyard is exquisite and compact, yet spacious and not cramped.
Standing outside the gate was a beautiful woman with a beautiful face, clear eyebrows, and a waist that could be held. As the sun set, her whole body seemed to be illuminated by a layer of gentle light. She looked like a pleasant person.
Sunge commented pertinently in his heart.
Originally, when she saw the behavior of the servants who greeted her at the city gate, she didn't have any hope for this concubine she had never met before, but she never thought that it was her fault.
"Concubine Ning Xi pays homage to Madam."
When Sunge got off the carriage, the beauty lowered her eyebrows and greeted her quickly.
The voice was gentle, and the warm sunshine of late spring brought a sense of comfort to my face.
"No need to be polite."
For Sunge, the relationship between eyes is particularly important.
It just so happened that she was delighted to see this beauty who nominally shared her husband.
In such a period, there is no need to stand on the moral high ground and condemn.
Didn't you see, the great writer Su Shi, who wrote "Ten years of life and death without thinking about it, will never forget it" also wrote for his concubine who was only twelve years old, "If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always better to put on light makeup and heavy makeup." .”
There is also Zhang Xian who said "Mandarin ducks sleep under the quilt for two nights, and a pear tree presses the begonia".
This was an era when concubinage was legalized.
Therefore, there is no need to be jealous and deliberately criticize the concubine.
Sun Gexu helped Ning Xi up, with a smile on his lips and admiration in his eyes.
Being able to walk in the circle of ladies in Bianliang City as a concubine and stabilize the rear for Li Gefei is a skill.
This smile made the young woman's heart drop into her stomach.
Ever since she heard that his wife had come to Beijing, she had been worried, fearing that she might accidentally offend her and be betrayed.
"Qingzhao has met my aunt."
"Le'er has met my aunt."
Li Qingzhao and Li Hao looked at each other and bowed politely.
Even if they are young, they still understand the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person.
"this……"
"This is not etiquette."
Ning Xi quickly returned the greeting and kept talking.
She knew very well that as a concubine, she should abide by her duties and not stir up trouble in the family house. "It is my concubine who should pay tribute to the young lady and the young master."
Entering the mansion, Ning Xi handed over the account book transfer matter to Sunge without stopping, as if it was a hot hand.
Sunge:......
Can she say that she actually doesn't want to get involved in the miscellaneous things in the house?
She couldn't shirk these years in Mingshui. Couldn't she enjoy a few more years of peace and happiness?
So, Sunge pretended to be delicate and coughed softly, and said weakly, "I have worked too hard these years, and my body is not as good as before. In addition, I have been tired of traveling, climbing mountains and wading for such a long time."
"I have to trouble you for the time being."
Sunge moved quickly and pushed the ledger back.
She had built such a huge family fortune and didn't bother to worry about it, let alone such trivial matters as providing meals in this mansion.
Ning Xi looked miserable, as if she wanted to show her loyalty again.
Sun Ge quickly interrupted, "If Aunt Ning allows it, why not let Sister Zhao study by the side?"
Aunt Ning hesitated at first, then nodded decisively.
Aunt Ning turned back three times while holding the account book, then put the account book on the ground fiercely, turned around and kowtowed to Sun Ge, "Madam, you have absolutely no intention of replacing it."
"The master is kind to me and asked me if I would like to come into the palace and temporarily handle matters in the backyard for him. I agreed."
"But madam, I know clearly that I have no intention of dividing my concubine."
Aunt Ning's words were particularly sincere.
The madam was born into a noble family, was graceful, dignified and generous, and she really didn't want to have any quarrel with such a madam.
In addition, the eldest lady was born like a pearl of fairy dew, and the eldest young master was also well-educated and sensible. Even if she remained a concubine all her life, the eldest lady and the eldest young master would not treat her badly.
Therefore, she will not seek death.
