Lin Rong raised his eyes and looked up. It took him a while to see Lu Shen's angular face clearly. He was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly and knocked down the white porcelain medicine bottle on the medicine shelf. There was a sound of breaking porcelain. He still couldn't believe it. In a panic, he just wanted to run back, but he didn't want to call someone to guard him. He turned around and held the corner of the table, saying in a trembling voice: "Lu Shen, it's you...it's you...aren't you going south to conquer Jiangzhou?" , why are you here?"
Lu Shen still had a smile on his face, as if Lin Rong had just gone out for a while like an ordinary female family member, either worshiping Buddha or looking at jewelry: "You have been out for a long time."
While talking, he slowly walked over, held Lin Rong's wrist, took off the curtain hat she was wearing, revealing her delicate eyebrows like white porcelain: "I heard that you were seriously ill in the first month of the year, and you are still alive now." If you occasionally have a cough, don't wear this."
The voice was like a ghost, saying caring words, but it was cold and without a trace of warmth, which made Lin Rong shiver for no reason. She struggled slightly, but Lu Shen's wrist tightened tighter and tighter, causing her eyebrows to frown slightly in pain.
When she first came to ancient times, she was extremely reluctant and had little hope. She would rather jump off the cliff than go back. Now she understands that she can't go back. The serious illness she suffered in winter made her cherish her life. Unfortunately, life is not a fear of death.
Asking Lin Rong to choose by herself, twisting herself, following a moody person like Lu Shen all her life, serving him and obeying her, and turning herself into a real ancient woman, that would probably be more torturous and terrifying than death.
Lin Rong turned his head, endured the severe pain in his hands, and looked at Lu Shen. Although his voice was trembling, he was very determined: "The prince is rich and powerful all over the world. Why won't he marry a weak woman?" Although the words were complimentary, they were also very firm. She admitted that she was Cui Shiniang, but she made it very clear that she didn't want to go back.
Lu Shen suppressed his smile and pointed to a pot of chrysanthemums in full bloom by the window. Without answering, he asked, "It would be appropriate for chrysanthemums like this to be placed in a glazed bottle in the Yongzhou Marquis' Mansion. Don't you think so?" "
Lin Rong's wrists had already passed the pain and started to feel numb. He knew that Lu Shen was violent and it would be difficult for him to be kind today. Finally, he felt depressed and unhappy. He sneered: "The prince is obsessed with the bed." , don’t you know that for this kind of thing, it’s better if you and I are willing.”
Are you in love with me? Who is she having sex with, calling her an adulterer with an evil seed in her belly? We are all pregnant with evil, so naturally we don’t know how many times we have been in love with each other. The medicine shop was built next to the river. The window was opened a small crack, and the evening breeze blew away the few strands of black hair scattered on the woman's forehead. Lu Shen thought bitterly that the adulterer must have stroked those black hairs willingly, and kissed those distant eyebrows...
You are in love with me, you are in love with me, what a great one!
There was no smile on Lu Shen's face at this time, and the woman's voice seemed to have become ethereal. Sometimes she was far away on the water outside the window, and sometimes she was caressing her ears: "Besides, I have become a monk now, and I have given up everything." The past is related to the world, do you want to force the king to force others from this world?"
Lu Shen sneered twice, let go of Lin Rong's wrist, and took a few steps back: "What a person you and I are in love with, and what a person from outside the world, haha! Who can a monk from outside the world have a relationship with you and me? The evil seed in your belly?"
Bastard? Lin Rong didn't know what he meant. He was sad, scared and angry at the moment. How could he think of the section about 'pregnancy medicine'? Then he saw Lu Shen waving his hand: "Stay back."
Shen Yan had followed Lu Shen for many years. He gave orders without explaining anything, just with his eyes and movements. He didn't know what he was going to do. He sighed and ordered the black-armored guards to exit the door. He looked at the silk shop opposite and ordered him to hug him. Dozens of horses surrounded the medicine shop.
Lin Rong saw all the soldiers exiting. After a while, the whole room gradually became dark, with only a little light shining through. You were startled and doubtful when you saw Lu Shen moving a brass Guanyin statue enshrined in the corner of the medicine shop to the table in the middle. He was so frightened that he backed away, opened the window facing the river, and was about to jump out.
Lu Shen grabbed him, pulled him into his arms, and said in a cold voice: "Master Miaoxuan is a monk, so under this statue of the compassionate Guanyin, please let me understand what the Master said about your love and our wishes." Bar."
As he spoke, he put down all the medical books, medicinal materials, and scales for weighing medicinal materials on the medicine cabinet, untied his belt, and approached step by step.
During the few months when Lin Rong was the wife of the Marquis, she was the only one who obeyed Lu Shen in every possible way. As long as Lu Shen got interested in the matter of sex, no matter it was in the inner room, study or carriage, As long as he wants it, Lin Rong has to give it to him.
But it was a deserted place anyway. There were hundreds of black-armored guards standing outside the medicine shop, but if there was any movement, people would hear it clearly. Lu Shen... Lu Shen actually wanted to humiliate her like this?
Lin Rong asked him to corner him and stand in front of a dim picture. Feeling desperate and angry, he waved his hand and said, "Lu Shen, you are not a human being!"
Lin Rong used all his strength to slap this slap, but Lu Shen did not dodge. Suddenly red marks appeared on his face and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He was not angry but smiling. His handsome face was bloodshot, and he looked like a ghost. He was already in a nightmare. How could he listen to Lin Rong's words?
Lu Shen stretched out his thumb and pressed it lightly on Lin Rong's neck somewhere. Lin Rong let out a cry, and suddenly lost all strength and collapsed in his arms. He found a red pill from somewhere and force-fed Lin Rong to swallow it.
Lin Rong refused at first, but after the medicine started to work, he could no longer control himself. His whole body was hot and he felt dizzy and he didn't know where he was. He tilted his head and nestled on Lu Shen's shoulder. His clothes were gone, and a pair of bright moons were pressed against his chest. , Forbidden Grape Jasper Round.
naturally:
The gauze cupboard is in the moonlight, and they hook each other into the room with their incense shoulder-to-shoulder hooks. They don't care about the messy hairpins on their temples, and the red damask is tossed in the waves.
The delicate flowers cannot stop the butterflies and bees from being mad, and the leaves and branches are given to the man.
I don't know how long it took, but the armored guards standing outside lit up torches, and the rain gradually subsided inside. Lin Rongqiang sat up from the medicine cabinet, with cold sweat on his forehead and back, his face looked pale and decayed, and his tone was like As hollow as death, he stared at Lu Shen: "Lu Shen, I hate you."
I have never hated you as much as I do today!
Chapter 52
It had been raining for several days. It happened to be a clear day with a gentle breeze. Beauty Wang lay on the couch until noon and woke up in the afternoon. She vaguely heard a mother-in-law outside asking: "Beauty, haven't you woken up yet?"
The girl next to her, Xiaojuan, who was doing embroidery work and tying her knot, shook her head: "Yesterday, the king got very angry in front of him, so he summoned the beauty to sleep with him during the night, and didn't come out until dawn. The beauty couldn't bear it, and as soon as he came back, So he rested and didn’t even take lunch.”
The old lady laughed and said, "Eight out of ten days, the king is blessed with such great favors as the beauty. This is something no one else has ever done. I see that the beauty is a little weaker. She seems to have no energy these days and doesn't eat much." Could it be that she is pregnant? If she is really pregnant and gives birth to a son and a half daughter, she will be even inferior to the king and his wife."
Xiaojuan shook her head: "What are you talking about? Madam Junhou is dead. Who can compare with a dead person? Besides, the beautiful lady just had her menstruation?" The mother-in-law was confused, why did Junhou still declare that she was red? How about pampering me?
Xiaojuan put down the embroidery bag in her hand and took out a huanghuali lacquer box from the museum shelf: "Yesterday when the beauty was waiting on the king, someone from Yongzhou Mansion happened to send something, and tributes were also sent to Manager Shen from outside. When the list of gifts came up, the monarch was not interested, so he just took a look at it and threw it aside. The beauty was rewarded with a bunch of dendrobium with a thumb-sized pearl. The begonias and hostas on the new tribute were even returned to the important ministers outside. Before giving a reward, I first gave the beauty four pots."
The woman stood on her toes to take a look, and sure enough, they were all round, bright and as big as dragon eyes: "I have never seen such big pearls before."
Xiaojuan smiled, took out two pills, wrapped them in a handkerchief and handed them to the woman: "The beauty said that when she was young, her mother took care of her very much. This is a reward for you."
The woman was overjoyed and held it in her arms solemnly, and said countless flattering words.
As they talked, the two started talking about the gossip in the mansion. Xiaojuan sat down again, brought another snack to eat, and asked: "Have you heard? Seven or eight days ago, Junhou picked up a girl from outside. When I came back, I brought him in personally and stayed in Yangwu Zhai. Although Yangwu Zhai is close to the prince's dormitory, it is sealed and has not been occupied for a long time. I heard that the courtyard is very dilapidated!"
As the mother-in-law ate, she said, "Why don't you know that on the night we brought you back, we invited all the doctors in the city? There was a lot of commotion in the yard over there for most of the night. My goddaughter was waiting on the tea stove in the yard, and I listened a few times. , was originally raised outside, and lied about being pregnant, so he asked the prince to take him back to the house. Who knows, the doctor revealed the secret as soon as his pulse, which made the prince furious, and he was left in the cold. For seven or eight days, he never Have you ever visited her?"
Xiaojuan was surprised: "Fake pregnancy? Why are you so bold? Can you lie about such a thing?"
The woman looked like she was used to it: "You are young, you don't know that in this deep house and compound, you will do anything to win favor. You have to be one of our beauties to win the favor of the king, so you don't need to do these things. Raise. Wuzhai, the one who was banned by the Lord, is locked up. This guy is locked up and forgotten."
Wang Meiren listened inside, turned away, covered her handkerchief and fell asleep. After a while, Xiaojuan sent the old lady away, opened the curtain and went into the inner room, hung up the curtains and said, "Beauty, please wake up quickly. I have had enough sleep now, and I won't be able to sleep at night."
Wang Meiren asked in a low voice: "What time is it?"
Xiaojuan replied: "It's three o'clock in the morning!"
Wang Meiren sat up and Shi Shiran was doing her makeup in front of the mirror. After a while, she saw her head was covered with pearls and emeralds, and she was very rich. Then she nodded with satisfaction and said: "Let's go and see the man from Yangwu Zhai and put on two begonias." There are ten pieces of cloud ribbons in the basin. Today, the Lord is having a banquet with the Lu family's children, and I am finally free. It would be rude not to go and see that person again."
Beauty Wang had been following Lu Shen for half a year, and seeing that he had no one else to love except herself, she was naturally very curious when she brought back a girl.
Yangwuzhai only has six or seven rooms. As soon as he passed the Moon Cave Gate, he saw two women standing guard. Seeing Beauty Wang, they immediately saluted. After hearing her purpose, one hesitated and didn't dare to let anyone in, but the other said: "Although Manager Shen has given instructions not to let anyone in to disturb her, the beauty is naturally different, and she has brought gifts. She is an honored guest."
After saying that, he led the beauty Wang inside. To the east of the stone wall in front of the studio, there were dozens of poles of bamboo, far away, with dense phoenix tails and beautiful green charm.
Wang Meiren saw it in a strange way. She had never seen such bamboo before and said, "This bamboo forest is really unique. Is it the only one in Qingzhou?"
The woman nodded and smiled: "The beauty is from the north. I don't know what is there in the south. People in the south grow bamboo like they grow jade. This bamboo is also called Golden Jasper. It was transplanted from the south of the Yangtze River by the emperor's order a year ago. Yes, a boatload of bamboo can only survive for a few dozen rods, and there is nothing like it anywhere else.”
Wang Meiren nodded, not feeling very happy in her heart. She walked around the water-milled wall, where green willows were hanging low, and she saw six or seven clear mansions in the distance. When she got closer, she saw begonias and hostas all over the yard in front of the court. There was a small tree standing on the steps. The girl saw that she was holding an armful of watermelons, arm-thick new lotus roots, and a large basket of golden crabs. She said excitedly: "Madam said, everyone has worked hard these days, and asked me to send these to the kitchen to share with others." Let’s eat.” There was a burst of cheers at the moment.
Wang Meiren subconsciously ignored the title "Madam". She was born in the market and didn't know how precious these melons and lotus roots were. Instead, she asked about the crabs: "The crabs look like they weigh a pound each. How can they be so fat at this time of year?" crab?"
The woman was a knowledgeable person and said, "Beautiful people don't know that the weather in the north is cold and the frost comes early. At the end of July and the beginning of August, we pay attention to eating crabs. The crabs in the Wuyue land in the south of the Yangtze River don't turn yellow until they have experienced frost in September or October." The paste is thick. It was transported by fast horses using the military's four-hundred-mile expedited post road."
Wang Meiren was even more worried after hearing this. She had been with the army for half a year and knew very well that Lu Shen's temper was that he did not like to use these official weapons for personal matters. Now he is using the army's cavalry to deliver crabs?
When the girl at the door saw her coming, she hurriedly saluted, opened the five bats holding longevity pattern orangutan felt curtain, and served tea: "Beauty, wait a moment, the master is taking a nap, please allow me to wait for my report."
Wang Meiren nodded and looked up to see the plaque hanging high in the main hall. She only started studying after following Lu Shen. She didn't know many words, but she knew all four words - IKEA is blessed, IKEA came from Yishi. IKEA means comfortable and harmonious; IKEA means the place where the couple lives, and home means one door.
IKEA is blessed with the meaning of harmony between husband and wife. She looked at it carefully for a while and realized that it was Junhou's writing, and she felt more and more uncomfortable. Husband and wife...husband and wife... The woman and the Junhou were husband and wife in the Junhou's heart?
The maid turned around and went inside, opened the soft curtain, and saw a woman lying on the beauty's couch. She had lost weight in the past few days and had become more and more out of place. She whispered: "Madam, Beauty Wang wants to see you." .”
Seeing that the woman was holding half a volume in her hand, she was looking at it with gusto, and she just gave a faint hum without any intention of seeing her. The maid was afraid that she might offend someone unintentionally, so she reminded her: "Madam, Beauty Wang has only been favored by the king in the past six months. He would take her wherever he went, even to the military tents. Now that she wants to be friends with her, wouldn't it be bad to turn her away?"
Lin Rong sighed slightly, put down the book, and asked lazily: "Is Miss Xiaohe from Xiaoxuan Qingguan feeling better?"
The maid replied: "All the medicinal materials that Madam asked for have been sent up. Miss Xiao He has been taking it for four or five days. People who went there this morning said that she can get out of bed and walk. I think she will be fine soon. Master Taixuan called me another person." I would like to give you a word to my wife, saying that there is no definite answer to what is on the outside but what is on the inside. I hope you will take it seriously."
After hearing this, Lin Rong was silent for a long time, and then said for a long time: "Please come in, Miss Wang."
It was late autumn, and it was getting dark early, so Lin Rong turned on the lights early.
As soon as Beauty Wang entered the inner room, she saw a dozen glazed lanterns hanging on the beams. The whole room seemed like daylight. Half lying on the beauty couch in front was a still and extremely beautiful woman with no accessories and hair on the temples. There was only a jasper hairpin stuck on it, and her ice-cold flesh and jade bones could not hide her stunning beauty. She looked at him quietly with her autumn eyes. Although she didn't speak, she had a certain magnanimity, which made her unconsciously bend her knees and salute.
She half-crouched, but she didn't know how to address Lin Rong. She couldn't follow the maid and call her "Madam" randomly. She huffed for a while and said: "Sister, I have met my sister. I heard that she was unwell a few days ago, so I don't want to disturb her. I wonder if my sister is feeling better?"
Lin Rong said: "Excuse me, please come and see me. It doesn't matter. I just sprained my foot yesterday, not my muscles or bones."
Wang Meiren chatted with a smile, and the two chatted for a while, but mostly she said, and Lin Rong only occasionally responded with a few words. After a while, Mrs. Wang stood up and said goodbye knowingly: "My sister doesn't have anything good, so she brought a few pieces of brocade. She either made clothes or made other gadgets. I think she did her best." In this case, She was not good at speaking, but after six months of experience, she became so good at speaking.
She gave the gift, and Lin Rong naturally wanted to return the gift. He turned his head and looked at it, pointed at a box on the red sandalwood table, and told the girl: "Take this box of Nanzhu back home."
Wang Meiren didn't know why, but she always felt a little restrained here, so she took the box and hurriedly left. When I turned around the corridor, I saw a few young boys in the outer courtyard carrying buckets of water. The nun next to me was saying a reminder: "Be careful, this is the spring water on Yushan Mountain. If it spills even a little bit, be careful." skin."
The spring water on Yushan Mountain in Qingzhou is famous all over the world for cooking tea. However, in the high mountains and ridges, the monarchs despise the waste of manpower and never send people into the mountains to fetch water. Now, this is an exception.
After walking out of Yangwu Zhai, Xiaojuan opened the box and exclaimed: "Beauty, this is a box of pearls for tribute, which is more than what the monarch rewarded me last night."
Wang Meiren grabbed a handful, which was bigger and rounder than her box. She regarded it as a treasure, but others admired it casually. She gave a faint hum and waved: "Go back, I'm tired."
When I arrived, my head was covered with pearls and my face was full of energy. When I returned, I was dejected and lonely, as if there was a big stone stuck in my heart.
Wang Meiren went to bed early that day. She tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't sleep. Suddenly she thought of something. She sat up for a while and called the girl in and asked, "Have you really never been to Yangwu Zhai these days?"
Xiaojuan stayed by her master's side all day long, and she wasn't familiar with the place. But today she listened to the old lady's gossip, so how could she know? She said sleepily, "I guess she didn't go, that's what everyone said."
Beauty Wang sighed, and suddenly an idea occurred to her. She opened the official silk embroidered curtain with green crane pattern and asked eagerly: "Do you feel that the voice of Yang Wuzhai's speaker is somewhat similar to mine?"
Asked to remind her like this, Xiaojuan thought for a while and nodded suddenly: "There is some resemblance, but not too much. The one from Yangwu Zhai sounded cold, but the beauty's voice was soft and warm."
Like or not? So is it similar or not?
Beauty Wang looked at the ceiling of the tent, dazed, as if she understood something, and stayed awake all night.
Chapter 53
Lin Rong naturally didn't know how Wang Meiren was tossing and turning. She didn't even care about Lu Shen, and Lu Shen and other Yingying Yanyan didn't care even more, just like water passing without a trace.
She had been having a bad appetite recently and only put down her chopsticks after eating half a bowl of rouge rice at dinner. She has a gentle temper, so the maid who has been serving her for the past few days has the courage to say: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and we have to plant dogwoods, enjoy chrysanthemums, and eat crabs. No matter how hard I eat, my wife must comply with this festival. Servant Please peel it open for Madam and taste the crab roe."
Lin Rong shook his head and was too lazy to see anyone. He sent Yang Wuzhai's maid to wait outside and sort out the old herbal illustrations in the inner room alone. However, after writing for a while, I heard the maid outside reporting at the door: "Madam, Manager Shen asked to see you. He said that he had picked up Madam's old man who used to serve in Xuanzhou. I wonder if Madam will see you now or tomorrow?"
Old people? What kind of old friends can Lin Rong have? They are just the few girls who followed him from Jiangzhou. She was delighted when she heard this and immediately stood up to go out. But he never remembered that he sprained his foot and felt terrible pain. He held on to the table and said, "Please come in immediately."
As expected, the two people who came in were Kingfisher and Fengxiao. Fengxiao was still impatient. As soon as he came in, he threw himself in front of Lin Rong's knees. His eyes were filled with tears, and he pursed his lips and was speechless: "County Lord... you are still alive... …”
Kingfisher is still calm, unlike Fengxiao who lost her composure, but she also burst into tears: "County Lord..."
Lin Rong sighed and pulled the two of them forward. Although they were wearing cloud satin and their clothes were new and clean, a closer look revealed that their hair was withered and yellow, and their chapped hands were covered with frostbite. The clothes didn't fit well, so I thought they had taken someone else's clothes for emergency use - this year, the two of them were not having a good time!
Lin Rong was silent, his throat hurt, and he choked a little: "I have caused trouble to you, I'm sorry..."
The second maid shook her head repeatedly and said: "It's okay to still see the county master. Even if you ask me to die immediately, I will be willing to do so."
One said: "I failed to persuade the county lord, so he suffered a lot."
The three masters and servants could not restrain themselves and cried heartily for a long time before they stopped. Seeing that the two of them were traveling all night without eating, they ordered the kitchen to send a crab feast. Although Lin Rong had no appetite, he still ate three or four of them while accompanying the two of them.
Feng Xiao's mood came and went quickly. After eating and drinking, she patted her belly and smiled: "It has been a year and I have never been as full as I am today."
Kingfisher was afraid that she would make Lin Rong sad, so he quickly interrupted the conversation and talked about something else. After only half an hour, he saw that Lin Rong's face was tired, so he took Feng Xiao and left: "The county master is tired, we are tired." My body is not clean, and there must be some fleas and bugs on it. I will clean it up tomorrow and come back to serve the county master."
