Hou Mansion.
In the courtyard of the inner courtyard.
There is a full moon in the sky and a cool breeze blows. There is a set of marble tables and chairs in the courtyard. The table is filled with wine and food, as well as a clay pot with medicinal food, which is steaming.
Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang were bored and sat on the stone chairs in a daze.
The moon is beautiful, and people are even more beautiful.
But no one appreciates this beauty.
Because Su Xian is not here and has not returned to Beijing yet!
Most of the dishes on the table were cooked by Tang Shuwan herself, and the clay pot medicinal cuisine was Liu Huixiang's work.
In the past two days, they had counted Su Xian's return date with their fingers. They took a detour from Yangzhou to Dengzhou, which was actually not far away. Su Xian could return to Beijing in two days if he kept up the normal pace.
The two women secretly made a plan and decided unanimously to prepare a reception banquet for Su Xian at all times, so that Su Xian could enjoy it at any time when he returned home.
This batch of wine, food, and medicinal food had just been prepared, and their thoughts and thoughts were poured into it.
But, what follows is a long and boring wait...
Under the beautiful moonlight, the two women sat in silence.
Suddenly, the faint chirping of insects came from the distant garden, one after another, which more and more highlighted the silence of the inner courtyard and the insipid thoughts of the two women about their husbands.
They remained motionless, looking at the food and wine on the table in a daze. Unknowingly, two quarters of an hour had passed, and the food and wine that had been steaming just now had now cooled down.
At this time, Minglan's little maid came in. She walked out of the Moon Gate and looked up to see the two ladies still looking the same. She shook her head secretly and approached to persuade:
"Miss, Mrs. Liu, it's late at night, it's better to go to bed early."
"Minglan is here."
Tang Shuwan suddenly "alive" and ignored Minglan's persuasion. Instead, she ordered: "The food and wine are cold. Take them out and heat them up quickly."
The food and wine they prepared for Su Xian were only heated once at most. If they were cold again, they would be given to the servants in the mansion.
Minglan did not go to heat the food, but took Tang Shuwan's hand and persuaded her again:
"Miss, it has been dark for a long time and the city gate has been closed. Even if my uncle comes back now, he will not be able to enter the city. He will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest. It is better to go back to the room and rest early."
"It's so late again!"
Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang raised their heads and looked at the moon and stars in the sky. With such beautiful scenery, it would be a waste not to be able to drink and chat with their husband.
Minglan's words woke them up. Tang Shuwan stopped ordering hot dishes and lost interest. She got up and walked to the inner house with Liu Huixiang.
They both couldn't sleep and planned to chat about some women's secrets.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked through the moon door of the inner house, their footsteps stopped at the same time and they stood stunned. In the courtyard not far ahead, there was a majestic figure standing proudly!
The moonlight was like a flower, and the lantern's dim light together illuminated the image of the figure. He was tall and handsome. As the saying goes, a stranger is like jade, and a young master is unparalleled in the world.
That handsome figure was still smiling at them.
The two women rubbed their eyes, wondering if they had been hallucinating recently because they were looking forward to their husband's return home... When they opened their eyes again, the figure was still there.
This is not an illusion!
"Husband!"
The two girls were overjoyed, and their sadness disappeared without a trace in an instant. With smiles on their faces, they held up their skirts and trotted away like a swallow in the forest.
Yes, that handsome figure standing under the moonlight was Su Xian who quickly returned home after climbing over the city wall.
Su Xian is finally back!
"Ladies, come quickly, my husband misses you so much."
With a smile on his lips, Su Xian stretched out his arms, catching Tang Shuwan on the left and Liu Huixiang on the right. He hugged her left and right, with both beauties in his arms. His slightly irritable heart instantly calmed down and he felt the warmth of home.
As the saying goes, a break is better than a wedding. Su Xian's sudden appearance really made the two women unable to help themselves. They both buried their faces in Su Xian's chest, murmuring in low voices the pain of missing each other and pouring out their heartfelt feelings.
Su Xian comforted him from the left and comforted him from the right. He was very busy, but he was also enjoying it, and the corners of his mouth were grinning to the base of his ears.
He had wanted to try a hug like this for a long time, but the two women refused. Now he took this opportunity to enjoy it. It was really interesting and enjoyable.
But soon, Su Xian ran into trouble——
Who should I choose to sleep with you tonight?
Tang Shuwan on the left is beautiful, pleasant, gentle and approachable.
Liu Huixiang on the right is beautiful, plump, and knowledgeable.
One moment he thought Tang Shuwan was good, and the next moment he thought Liu Huixiang was even better. Hey, he had difficulty choosing. Suddenly, his eyes lit up——
Now that I have taken this opportunity, I have enjoyed a hug.
Is it possible to... try sleeping with a big quilt?
"Ma'am, it's getting late. You should go back to your room to rest. Well, tonight...whose turn is it to go to bed?"
Su Xian was planning to figure it out slowly, but he couldn't reveal his purpose all at once, otherwise it would scare them.
The two women's faces were raised from Su Xian's chest at the same time, and they looked at each other secretly. A glimmer of light flashed in their eyes, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding:
"My husband suddenly returned home, and I am extremely happy. We have prepared a reception and cleansing banquet for your husband, and we would like to ask your husband to appreciate it."
"A banquet to welcome the wind and cleanse the dust? Isn't it appropriate so late?"
Su Xian held Tang Shuwan's waist with his left hand and touched it uneasily. He held Liu Huixiang's shoulder with his right hand, pinched it lightly or hard, and suggested:
"Let's rest tonight. How about having a banquet tomorrow?"
Tang Shuwan smiled and said:
"My husband doesn't know something. Sister Liu has carefully cooked medicinal food for me. If my husband doesn't eat it, wouldn't it be a waste of Sister Liu's efforts?"
"Have you prepared the medicinal meal? Did you guess that your husband will return home tonight?" Su Xian looked strange.
Liu Huixiang lowered her head and said nothing, a blush quickly appeared on her delicate face.
Tang Shuwan smiled and said:
"Of course I didn't expect that Sister Liu would be able to eat hot medicinal meals as soon as she returned home for her husband. She had to stay up many times every day for the past two days!"
Su Xian was very moved and turned to look at Liu Huixiang: "My husband feels my wife's thoughts. If I don't take that medicinal diet, I will be a human being!"
Liu Huixiang was very embarrassed. Suddenly she glanced sideways and saw Tang Shuwan smiling across from her. Her heart moved and she also smiled:
"My husband doesn't know something. Not only have I prepared medicinal meals, but Sister Tang has also been idle. She has been cooking several times a day for the past two days, just so that my husband can have hot meals when he returns home! "
The smile on Tang Shuwan's face froze, she lowered her head and said nothing, her face instantly became hot, especially after Su Xian turned to look at her, she did not dare to look up.
"Madam, thank you for your hard work. You all have worked hard. It seems that tonight's reception banquet is a must for my husband. Hahahaha..."
"..."
Su Xian laughed heartily and returned to the open-air courtyard of the inner courtyard with his two wives.
Fortunately, the food and wine that had just cooled down had not yet been removed, so Su Xian ordered them to be brought down and heated up before being brought back.
The moon is like water, the stars are like weaving, the breeze is blowing, and the beauties are in pairs.
Su Xian took the seat first, and Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang sat on either side of him. Before the food and drinks were delivered, the couple had already started chatting, talking about romance, and they were quite happy.
After a while, the food and wine were served.
Su Xian looked at the large table full of food and wine, and suddenly felt troubled. He couldn't help but recall the past two women feeding him wine and food. The feeling of overeating was not pleasant.
But what surprised him was that the two women did not feed him food and drinks, but only playfully chatted with him, and Su Xian gradually felt relieved.
Under the stone table, it was pitch dark, beyond the reach of sight, Su Xian's hands gradually became restless...
The two women either squirmed to dodge, or refused with their hands, wanting to refuse but still welcoming, wanting to speak but still being shy. Facing the beautiful moonlight, Su Xian never tired of it, and was really in ecstasy.
Suddenly, the two women secretly looked at each other again, with a glimmer of light in their eyes, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
Tang Shuwan pushed Su Xian's mischievous hand away for the last time. Holding chopsticks in her bare hands, she picked up vegetables for Su Xian and said with a smile: "Husband, please try it. This is a new dish I have learned."
"Uh..." Su Xian was embarrassed, and his hands that were secretly causing trouble suddenly lost interest, and they came again, and they started to drink and drink from him again.
On the other side, Liu Huixiang endured the slight discomfort caused by Su Xian's big hand and personally served a bowl of medicinal food and said, "Husband, please eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
"That..." Su Xian hesitated slightly.
"Husband, this is the dish I cooked myself." Tang Shuwan looked at him eagerly, as if Su Xian didn't appreciate the honor, and Tang Shuwan became an "abandoned wife" that no one wanted. Her little expression looked very unbearable.
"Husband, this is the medicinal diet I have been cooking for a whole day." Liu Huixiang also had the same expression.
"I'll eat, can't I just eat..."
Su Xian gave in with tears in her eyes and started eating Haisai like crazy.
The two women immediately became happy. After secretly looking at each other again, they speeded up to pick up food for Su Xian. They were very attentive and turned Su Xian into a "rice bucket".
Su Xian was full soon, but the two women were still picking up vegetables, fearing that Su Xian was not full and being too considerate...
Su Xianqiang held on for a while, and suddenly a thought came to his mind. He raised his head from the rice bowl, with a grain of rice still stuck to the corner of his mouth, and said seriously:
"My husband is full. I can't eat any more. If I continue to eat..."
"Husband, this is a dish cooked by me myself. Doesn't it taste delicious?" Tang Shuwan suddenly turned pale.
"Husband, could it be that I didn't prepare the medicinal food correctly?" Liu Huixiang didn't look good.
Su Xian said hurriedly:
"My husband is not saying that the food is not delicious. There is no problem with this medicinal diet. The key point is... if I continue to eat it, I will die from exhaustion, and you two will become widows!"
Hearing the words, the two women looked at each other and covered their lips with their hands at the same time. It seemed that they had just realized that Su Xian was a human being and had a limited capacity, so he was not a bottomless pit that swallowed everything.
With regret on their faces, they helped Su Xian lie down on the stone chair, apologizing again and again and regretting not falling down.
Su Xian took advantage of the situation and hugged the two women, saying: "It's really a bit overwhelming now, but if you chat with me, maybe you can digest it right away. Well, maybe some strenuous exercise would be better."
"Strenuous exercise?"
Liu Huixiang seemed to have thought of something. After looking at Tang Shuwan again, she broke away from Su Xian's embrace and said with a smile: "On this beautiful day, with beautiful flowers and full moon, why don't I offer a dance to my husband."
Su Xian was a little surprised. He knew that Liu Huixiang could dance, but she learned it when she was a girl. Now it has been abandoned for a long time. Does she still remember those moves?
Even so, Su Xian still smiled and said: "Okay!"
Liu Huixiang immediately walked to the open space in the middle of the courtyard and started dancing slowly. Under the moonlight, the person looked more delicate than the flower.
She danced with slow movements, perfectly showing off her slightly plump body. During the dance, she threw out thrilling and charming arcs, and the young woman's style was diffused.
Su Xian was fascinated for a moment, her dance was so graceful and moving!
"I don't know how to dance, but I know how to massage. My husband has returned to Beijing from Dengzhou, so he must be tired, so I'll give him a leg massage."
Tang Shuwan also broke away from Su Xian's embrace, squatted next to the stone chair, and gently hammered Su Xian's legs with a pair of pink fists. The force was gentle, but it was very comfortable.
Su Xian suddenly became happy, Liu Huixiang danced under the moonlight, and Tang Shuwan beat her legs diligently. Isn't this the blessing of his dream?
Very good!
Excellent!
However, after a period of time, Su Xian gradually realized that something was wrong.
Whether it was Liu Huixiang or Tang Shuwan, they both looked at Su Xian several times and hesitated to speak, with complex expressions of anticipation, shyness, etc. appearing on their delicate faces.
"Madams, do you have something to say?" Su Xian decided to challenge, "Or do you want me to be your husband?"
"No, no, no, no, husband, there is no need to make wild guesses." The two women hurriedly shook their heads in denial.
Su Xian raised his eyebrows. He could clearly see that although the two women were denying it, the look of anticipation and shyness on their faces did not diminish at all. They were clearly hesitant to speak!
"But does anyone dare to bully you?"
Su Xian's heart sank as he thought of a possibility. If anyone dared to bully his woman, he must let that person know what regret means.
"No, husband, don't make blind guesses." Tang Shuwan gently lifted her legs for him and raised her eyes to deny.
"In that case, let's just say it straight. We are an old married couple. Could it be that we are still shy?" Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
The two women looked at each other and said nothing. The dancer continued dancing, and the one who beat her legs continued to beat her legs.
Seeing this, Su Xian guessed that there must be something wrong with the two of them. He thought for a while and suddenly stood up and said, "If you don't tell me, my husband will leave!"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Don't!" Tang Shuwan jumped up like a bullet and hurriedly held Su Xian's hand from behind to prevent him from leaving.
"Husband, stop!" Liu Huixiang floated over along with the dance steps and stopped in front of Su Xian. She also stretched out her hands, fearing that Su Xian would leave just now.
Su Xian smiled and said, "Okay, can we talk now?"
Only then did the two women understand that it turned out to be Su Xian's provocation. But now that the matter was over, the two women looked at each other, and finally started talking coquettishly.
It turned out that the two women accidentally learned that two days ago, most of Li Qingniu's wives were over thirty years old, but on the surface they looked only twenty-one or twelve years old.
This aroused the curiosity of the two women. The reason was that it turned out that Li Qingniu had a "female beauty prescription" that could keep her appearance forever if she continued to take it.
Their hearts are instantly moved. How can any woman not care about her appearance?
They could directly ask Li Qingniu or his wives for it, but the two women really couldn't ask for it. After much deliberation, they could only wait for Su Xian to return home and ask Su Xian to come forward.
Thus, there was a scene of two women showing great attentiveness.
After Su Xian heard this, he felt suddenly. No wonder, the two women were indeed very kind to him, but Liu Huixiang's dance performance and Tang Shuwan's kicking her legs always felt a bit excessive. It turned out that they were asking for something.
Su Xian thought for a while, then suddenly looked embarrassed, pouted at the medicinal food on the stone table, and said:
“Isn’t the medicinal diet also good for beautifying the skin?”
"Husband, it's different. The effect of the medicinal diet is far less than that of the woman's beauty prescription. That's what the ladies said." Tang Shuwan was on the left, hugging Su Xian's arm tightly, and explained hurriedly.
"Yes, it's different. I want that woman to take care of her beauty." Liu Huixiang was on the right, holding Su Xian's hand tightly, looking impatient.
Su Xian was in the middle, feeling the pressure from the beauties on the left and right, and felt happy. This was much more interesting than hugging one another.
However, he looked embarrassed on the surface, facing the expectant eyes of the two women, and said:
"However, although my husband is a disciple of the master, you don't know the master's temperament. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the beauty prescription from him!"
