In the main room, Wang Xifeng, Ping'er and others were still packing everything that Jia Lian might need on his journey.
According to their initial preparations, even if two carriages were specially used to pull his things, they might not be able to load them all.
Although Wang Xifeng later listened to Jia Lian's wishes and kept everything simple, this lady still figured out how to pack the most and most useful things in the smallest and lightest package.
This involves issues of additions, subtractions and trade-offs. Wang Xifeng has spent a lot of time thinking about this in the past two days.
Although Jia Lian felt that Wang Xifeng's work was useless, he did not criticize him. After all, this was an intuitive manifestation of his beloved wife's concern and distress for him.
Seeing that they were too busy to pay attention to him, Jia Lian recruited Qingwen and Xiangling and went into the bathroom.
Taking a bath is just a way of taking a bath, the purpose is to be affectionate with the two beautiful maids.
But Qingwen obviously didn't understand Jia Lian's intentions. While rubbing Jia Lian's back, she once again proposed that she wanted to follow Jia Lian out of the country.
Jia Lian naturally doesn't allow it.
"Why not? Then why can Aqin and her sister go out with the second master? They are only two or three years older than us?
The second master is partial. "
Jia Lian, who was sitting in the bathtub, smiled slightly, picked up Xiang Ling's little hand that was wiping his arm, played with it and asked with a smile: "Can you ride a horse?"
"Can't we take a car?"
After seeing Jia Lian chuckle and ignore her, Qingwen said anxiously: "Then I'll walk, is that okay?"
"Second Master, don't say you're not interested in this, you can't lie to me.
The second master is not going to fight this time.
I've heard from book readers before that even when the emperor travels, the maids and eunuchs still have to walk.
I think it's almost the same as marrying the princess.
Although I can't ride a horse, I can endure hardship and I can follow the second master on foot.
At that time, Xiangling and I can still serve and take care of the second master, okay..."
Qingwen hugged Jia Lian's neck from behind, leaned against him, and started to rock coquettishly.
Because she was serving in the bathroom, she only wore simple and light clothes, which inevitably touched Jia Lian's skin.
This was a trick she could only play with a blushing face, hoping to use this method to seduce Jia Lian into relenting.
Her thoughts are actually easy to understand.
First, it was said that Jia Lian's trip would take at least a year, which was too long. She didn't want to not see Jia Lian for so long.
Secondly, it is said that Jia Lian was an imperial envoy as a messenger. Since he is an imperial envoy, it is naturally a matter of infinite glory.
The local state and county officials along the way naturally tried to please them in every possible way, including food, drinks, and even beauties.
All in all, it’s almost the same as traveling all the way. She not only wanted to follow Jia Lian to go out in a dignified manner, but also wanted to take care of Jia Lian's daily life and supervise him along the way.
After all, as long as they stay with the second master, at least the second master will not feel lonely, which can greatly reduce the probability that the second master will bring some weird women back.
As Second Grandma Lian, she definitely couldn't take on this task, so only she and Xiang Ling could do it.
Although Qingwen had good thoughts, Jia Lian still refused unceremoniously as always: "No, it means no.
If you make any more noise, you'll get a spanking. "
"snort!"
Qingwen let go of Jia Lian, grabbed the handkerchief, and wiped Jia Lian's back fiercely, looking very unhappy.
Jia Lian looked back at her and asked Xiang Ling with a smile: "Tell me, are there such stupid people in the world?
I don't let her suffer for her own good, but she is still angry?
Did she think that the sand and dust outside the Great Wall, thousands of miles away, was child's play?
Given her laziness, if she were really allowed to go, she would probably not be able to walk very far before she would start complaining and sit on the ground unable to walk.
That's when it's embarrassing. "
Naturally, it was impossible for Jia Lian to take Qingwen and the others out of Beijing.
Let's not talk about whether Qingwen can bear the hardship. Let's just say that this errand is of great importance. It doesn't feel appropriate to have a maid by her side.
Although there is no explicit rule not to take them with him, I am afraid that if the emperor knows about it, he will think that he is greedy for pleasure and cannot hold a big position.
As for the Aqin sisters.
They were organized into the Guards, which was considered a battle order.
Secondly, they come from the grasslands, which may be helpful for this trip.
Jia Lian naturally remembered that after rescuing these two women at the border fortress last year, it was with their guidance that he was able to annihilate a Tatar tribe that moved south in one fell swoop.
Xiangling knew the importance of the matter better than Qingwen, and had already seen that there was no room for negotiation in this matter, so when faced with Jia Lian's questions, she only said softly: "Sister Qingwen is not stupid, she is just worried that the second master will suffer and suffer outside." , just wanted to follow and take care of the second master.
But since the second master has considered it, we all listen to the second master and must wait at home for the second master to come back. "
"Hahaha, this is my good Xiangling."
Jia Lian pulled Xiang Ling's little face and kissed her fiercely.
In response, Qingwen rolled her eyes at the side.
After all, I had been rejected many times, and I had already expected this result, so I was depressed for a while, then let go and started to serve Jia Lian seriously.
After taking a bath for a while, he helped Jia Lian out.
Just as he was about to dress Jia Lian, he saw Jia Lian blocking the clothes handed over by Xiang Ling, turning around and sitting on the sofa next to him, looking at the two girls with a smile.
Qingwen and Xiangling saw this and didn't understand what Jia Lian meant. They looked at each other and turned red in the face.
"We are about to say goodbye soon. To prevent you from becoming unfamiliar, I will give you a final test." Jia Lian smiled jokingly and waved to them.
Qingwen spat lightly, grabbed Xiangling, and said with a smile: "Xiangling has always been the most studious. Second Master, let her take the test, and I won't accompany you."
After saying that, Little Hooves ran out the door in a hurry.
When I got to the corridor, I raised my little hand to fan myself hard. It took a while before the burning feeling on my face dissipated.
Then I have no intention of staying here. Anyway, no one is likely to come over at this time, so there is no need to look out.
I wanted to go to the kitchen to get some water and scrub my body to get rid of the heat. Unexpectedly, before leaving the backyard, he bumped into Ping'er.
"Qingwen, come here."
"What, Sister Ping'er?"
Ping'er walked up to Qingwen and whispered: "Second Grandma asked you and Xiangling to keep vigil together tonight."
"oh…"
Qingwen nodded and left.
"Second Grandma also ordered you and Xiangling to take a bath first..."
"Uh-huh??"
Qingwen's eyes widened and she looked carefully at Ping'er's half-smiling expression.
"What do you mean?"
Ping'er smiled and said: "It's not interesting. These are the second grandma's exact words. If you don't listen, forget it."
Qingwen suddenly became nervous.
From Ping'er's expression and Wang Xifeng's unusual explanation, she seemed to hear something different.
Could it be that the Second Mistress wants to promote herself and Xiangling just like she did to Sister Ping'er?
However, we are all the second master’s people, and there is no need for the second grandma to promote us!
Having said that, it is a fact that Er Ye has not used me and Xiang Ling so far.
Normally I don't think anything of it, because the second master has explained that this is proof that he loves them very much and likes them very much!
But the last time I went to the old lady's house, she specifically asked about this matter. Even my wife, grandma, and a few old women were there at that time, and I was so embarrassed that I died of embarrassment.
When she mentioned that she was still a virgin, she clearly noticed that the eyes of those people were very strange.
Qingwen felt that it was ridicule, but it was still true.
Yes, they were laughing at her for being so good-looking. The old lady gave her to the second master for two years. It was just that she didn't become an aunt. She was not even promoted by anyone in the house!
It's really a shame.
Could it be that Second Grandma Lian can’t stand it and wants to help us? So what can she do? She won’t force the second master to accept us...
These thoughts raced through her mind. When she looked up, she saw a mocking look on Ping'er's face. She was so competitive that she immediately acted nonchalantly and said "Oh" without saying much.
Ping'er shook his head funny, what a ghost girl.
Since I wasn't sure what Wang Xifeng meant, I didn't reveal more, and instead asked her: "By the way, why did you come out? Has the second master been washed?"
"Well, it's been washed...
Xiangling is dressing the second master, and he is probably already dressed now. If something happens to you, just go in and find him. "
Because Qingwen said it was nothing, Ping'er didn't doubt that he was there, nodded and walked to the bathroom.
"whee."
Seeing Ping'er walking into the bathroom door, Qingwen's serious attitude instantly collapsed. She bent over, covered her mouth, and smiled like a little fox.
She was afraid that Ping'er would chase her out and cause trouble for her, so she looked around and went back to the west wing to find a change of clothes.
Because I always remember Wang Xifeng's instructions, when I choose inner and outer clothes, I can't help but stand in front of the wardrobe and think about it again and again.
Is this one good-looking, or is this one more attractive...
After a while, when she reappeared in the backyard, she found Ping'er coming out of Jia Lian's bathroom pretending to be serious.
Qingwen couldn't help but stare at her and laugh.
Ping'er couldn't stand it any longer, and her cheeks, which were already rosy with a touch of spring color, became even crimson like clouds. After glaring at Qingwen, Ping'er passed her and entered the main room.
"Why have you been here for so long? Haven't you washed yourself yet?"
As soon as he entered the door, he was indeed scrutinized by Wang Xifeng's suspicious eyes.
Ping'er said: "I've already washed it. The second master said it was inconvenient to take a shower on the road, so he asked me to wash it more carefully, and even washed my hair specially.
Xiangling wiped slowly by herself, and I also helped wipe it. "
"Is it."
Wang Xifeng glanced at Ping'er dubiously and snorted.
She was very suspicious that Ping'er had eaten it secretly just now.
But what can be done?
This girl is now more and more daring because of her manipulation, and she can eat secretly or not secretly. She dared to eat it in front of her and enjoyed it with relish.
"By the way, have you and Qingwen finished talking?"
"said……"
Ping'er replied and suddenly lowered his voice: "Does Second Mistress really want Second Master to take them in?"
Ping'er was very surprised that the Second Mistress was suddenly too virtuous.
"Otherwise?" Wang Xifeng asked back. Seeing the admiration in Ping'er's eyes, she started to explain.
"Others don't understand, don't you understand?
There are two such beautiful people in your second master's house, and they still maintain their virginity and are active in the house all day long.
Others don't know what your second master means, but they might say that I am jealous and cannot give birth to a son, so I won't let your second master touch other women! "
Hearing Wang Xifeng talk about not being able to give birth to a son, Ping'er said hurriedly: "No, grandma, the number of children is determined by fate. Grandma has a little eldest sister, and the little eldest sister is so healthy and cute, which means that grandma has given birth to a child." The eldest son is also very fast."
"Don't interrupt."
Wang Xifeng patted Ping'er on the shoulder and continued: "Now I can see clearly how your second master treats me.
To be fair, if another man had the status he has today, I'm afraid he might not be able to tolerate me like this.
So I also figured out that since my stomach is not up to par, I might as well lend it to you.
At any rate, I have to leave a queen for your second master. He often goes out, even if it is for good luck. "
Hearing this, Ping'er was moved by Wang Xifeng and said, "Actually, grandma doesn't have to think so. The second master never blamed grandma."
"Haha, of course he doesn't blame me. I see that he is not worried at all that he will not be able to give birth to a son. My stomach is not good. He is probably secretly happy in his heart, and he is kind-hearted and contented with attracting bees and butterflies outside..."
Wang Xifeng suddenly looked like he had seen through the essence and said angrily.
Ping'er was speechless and silent.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Didn't I ask you to ask the kitchen to boil more hot water?
Go and arrange it yourself, bring some of the things I usually use, and let those two little girls enjoy the treatment of the master tonight. Be sure to send them in clean. "
Wang Xifeng looked like he was doing something big.
She didn't lie. Most of what Heping'er said just now was from her heart.
But what she didn't say was...
She made her gesture right, and whether Jia Lian accepts it or not is up to Jia Lian himself.
The first thing she needs to consider is the gossip among the people in the house.
Therefore, she made a high-profile request for the kitchen to heat more hot water and arranged for Qingwen and Xiangling to take a bath.
When summer came, Jia Lian improved the treatment of the two beauties and specially customized a half-sized bathtub in their small bathroom.
Although it is only half the size, it is luxurious enough for Xiangling and Qingwen. One wash requires four or five buckets of water!
In addition, she would also let Ping'er spread the secret news, saying that she tried her best to persuade Jia Lian to accept Qingwen and Xiangling.
In this way, regardless of whether Jia Lian accepts Qingwen and Xiangling in the end, her goal has been achieved.
No one will use this matter to criticize her again.
