Maid of a wealthy family

Chapter 3
When Wang Ma said this, Dacui's heart became brighter.Although she is small, it's not that she doesn't understand these things.Now, she is leaning on the railing of "Wangchun Building" and looking at the sunshine in "Ouheyin", the fairyland-like scenery looks more and more mysterious in her eyes.She has never been to that garden before, and she still doesn't know what it looks like inside those towers, pavilions, rockery and curved ponds, and she doesn't know what the old lady and wife are like.The more she didn't know, the more she wanted to find out, and the idea of ​​going to the old lady's side to be a personal maid came into being really and strongly in her mind.Not only can one get the benefits that Wang Ma said, but also one can fully appreciate the garden where the gods live.Thinking of this, a picture slowly appeared in front of the girl's eyes: she was wearing beautiful and clean clothes, and the old lady and wife were walking in the garden.Flowers were blooming everywhere in the garden, and the fragrance wafted through the nostrils. The old lady handed her a string of reward money and said, "Here you are, girl! You are such a good girl!"

She stretched out her hand to accept the reward, thinking that her younger sister would have another piece of money to live on, so she involuntarily bowed to the old lady...

Thinking of this, Miss Dacui suddenly smiled wryly.What are you thinking about?Can I enter that garden?She shook her head, then seemed hopeful enough again.Because she firmly believed that if the old lady really wanted to find a personal servant girl, she would definitely ask the master for advice.And the master... Dacui's face turned red in the sunset, she gave her body to the master without reservation, the master will definitely not forget her.As the saying goes, a married couple for a day still has a hundred days of grace, not to mention that she is just a maid beside the old lady, who is different to be a maid?Thinking of this, the sails in Miss Dacui's heart bulged again.She was just about to follow her fantasy imagination, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps - another girl from the central courtyard, Miss Xijuan, came upstairs.

Miss Xijuan came to Lanfu a year earlier than Dacui. She is small and exquisite, but has a hot personality. Huh? Do you want to go to the old lady in the back garden?"

Da Cui blushed suddenly when the secret in her heart was exposed, but said in a disguised way; "What nonsense?"

Xi Juan said: "I'm not talking nonsense, Mama Wang told me long ago that the old lady wants to find a maid!"

Da Cui suddenly became nervous and said, "Really, why haven't I heard of it?"

Xi Juan said: "Don't lie to me! I still can't see the little Jiujiu in your heart?"

Da Cui blushed even more, and said, "Why am I lying to you? I don't want to go anyway."

Xi Juan immediately said: "You said that! I tell you, if you don't want to go, I want to go! The old lady is looking for smart and hard-working people, not stupid people who are not in a daze!"

When Da Cui heard this, he suddenly understood and said sarcastically, "No wonder you have been sneaking into the backyard these days to help Mother Wang with chores..."

After hearing this, Xi Juan was not angry; instead, she said unabashedly: "So what? I just want to let the old lady and wife see if I am a suitable person..."

Before Da Cui finished listening, she turned gloomy, turned around and went downstairs in a "duk tuk".When Xi Juan saw it, she didn't know what was going on, so she yelled at Da Cui: "Hey, what's wrong with you? I was just kidding with you!"

But Dacui didn't seem to hear, and left in a fit of anger.

Xi Juan didn't know, at this moment Dacui's heart was like an overturned condiment bottle, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

She just wanted to cry.

In the early morning of the next day, Lan Hongen took the housekeeper, more than a dozen servants and handymen to the "Fumantang" incense shop to carry out the three sticks of 1 Zhang 7 feet long incense sticks and two pairs of 130-jin big incense sticks. candle.Lan Hongen wanted to take advantage of the early morning when no one was around, but unexpectedly, he was spotted by a woman who went out to wash the urine pot.This woman has a fluffy head and a pair of loose big tits hanging on her chest. She opened the wooden door and opened her mouth just as she was about to yawn, when she suddenly saw the huge thing being carried by the team, she was shocked and opened her mouth. I couldn't put my mouth down for a long time.After a while, the woman came back to her senses and forgot to rinse the urine pot. She clapped her hands on her thighs, and the tits on her chest shook with her body trembling. Then, the woman cried out in surprise: "Oh, Come and see, big scented wax! What a big scented wax, come and see—"

Sure enough, following the woman's shout, the door panels of the neighbors on both sides slammed, and then many people poured out.When people saw such a big joss stick, their eyes widened in surprise, and they crowded around to watch it.The streets were crowded for a while, and the servants carrying joss sticks couldn't move around.Lan Hongen and the butler had a lot of effort to clear a path from the crowd and let the servants carry the incense candles and leave.

When we arrived at the mooring place of Dongmen Wharf, several large stones with holes had already been prepared on board.The servants stood the incense candles in the stone holes and wedged them firmly with wooden wedges.The big joss sticks point directly at the blue sky, and there seem to be more masts on the wooden boat.The wooden boat went down the river, and along the way, people on both sides of the strait and passers-by on the road stopped to watch one after another, winning bursts of surprise and admiration.

At noon, the boat arrived in front of the Lanjiahe Lanfu Manor in Liujiangchang. Lan Hongen went ashore and went straight to the manor.

Lan Hongen came straight to the "Ouhe Garden" from the corridor, and from a distance, he saw his wife, Ning, hanging colorful silks around the Tongming Pavilion.Lan Hongen knew that this was Ning's colorful building for "begging for cleverness" tomorrow night.Ning's and Lan Hongen's Tonggeng are only a few months away, and they are already in their thirties.She is small and exquisite, like a fairy in a painting.Especially a pair of small feet, which together are only as big as a child's fist.It seems that it always gives people a feeling of pain and pity, because they have not conceived yet, so that radiant face, petite and beautiful body, charming eyes, and white and tender skin are still like virgins. It's the same, except that in recent years, a more and more melancholy atmosphere has been vividly and painfully reflected on her beautiful face and charming eyes from time to time.

Standing in the distance, Lan Hongen saw Ning's struggling to stand on tiptoe, hanging a piece of red silk to the hanging railing of the attic, and felt a little pain in his heart. He hurried over and shouted across the lotus pond: "Huijuan!"

Lan Hongen went to a public school and was influenced by the new life in the city, so he called Ning Shi that way.

When Ning heard the shout, she turned her head and saw Lan Hongen, and immediately smiled sweetly, her face glowing red.

Lan Hongen ran over and hung the red silk on the hanging rail of the attic.Looking back at the pavilion, it has been colorfully arranged.Reflecting the colorful silks all over the pavilion and a pool of lotus, Ning's family really descended to earth like a fairy.

Lan Hongen was excited for a while, and suddenly remembered the upside-down incident in the "Huixian Tower" last night, and couldn't help feeling an inexplicable hotness and throbbing in his heart.He couldn't tell how he felt at this moment, but there was undoubtedly a sense of guilt welling up in his heart.He hastily helped Ning to sit down on the pavilion, and wiped the sweat off the tip of her nose for her in distress.

Ning's eyes looked at him affectionately: "Did the big incense candle come back?"

Lan Horn nodded.Looking at his wife's expectant eyes, Lan Hongen felt a little sad. After a while, he suddenly supported Ning's shoulder and said, "Huijuan, we will definitely succeed in seeking a child this year!"

Ning looked at him with eyes full of suspicion.Lan Hongen said: "Really Huijuan! Last night, I slept until midnight, and suddenly I heard someone shouting 'Lan Sheng', 'Lan Sheng' softly in my dream! I opened my eyes and vaguely saw a beautiful woman. He called at me from the window. I was very surprised. In the middle of the night, who could it be? I said loudly to the woman: "I am a gentleman, go away quickly, don't call me again!" But the woman still did not leave , still shouting 'Lansheng'. I suddenly remembered the mission of entering the city, and suddenly realized: Could it be that this year's begging for a child will definitely be successful, and the Bodhisattva sent someone to report the good news, so I have a unique word: "Ten Mile Tower, Five Mile Pavilion Suddenly, I heard the fairy girl call Lan Sheng. Isn’t it because the begging is settled, so Chang’e reported the good news?!’ After I finished reciting the poem, the girl suddenly disappeared. Huijuan, tell me, isn’t this the manifestation of a Bodhisattva?”

Lan Hongen's lies were flawless.Ning burst into tears, looked at Lan Hongen moved and asked: "Really? Don't lie to me!"

Lan Hongen wiped the tears from the corners of Ning's eyes again, and said, "Really, Huijuan! When have I lied to you?"

Unexpectedly, when Ning heard this, the usual melancholic pain came out instead, and she couldn't help crying, and said while crying: "No, no, you lied to me! I know, we haven't had children for many years, you Thinking about children eagerly, hallucinations occur in sleep! That’s it, Hong En, don’t lie to me! It’s all my fault, Hong En, that I didn’t give birth to a man and a woman for you, which made you so distracted. Hong En, listen to me, Why don't you marry another room, why..."

After hearing this, Lan Hongen hurriedly shook Ning and said, "Huijuan, what silly things are you saying, huh?!"

Ning's weeping became even more fierce.

Lan Hongen hurriedly embraced Mrs. Ning, looked around the garden, and said in a low voice, "Don't cry, Huijuan! If my mother hears this, she will blame you again."

Only then did Ning cover her mouth with a handkerchief, but the tears from the corners of her eyes continued to fall, washing away the powder on her face.

Lan Hongen wanted to comfort her a few more words, but he was afraid of making her sad, so he stopped talking.The garden was quiet for a while, and the breeze brought the fragrance of lotus flowers all over the ground, and the ribbons above and around the head fluttered like colorful butterflies.

At this time, the voice of the old lady of Yiyuan Dongwulan chanting Buddha was heard.The sound of wooden fish accompanied by the old woman's protracted "Buddhist song" is very clear:
"The first-class people eat a long fast,

Bless my daughter-in-law for early pregnancy.

Everyone says luck is good,
In the next life, I will eat a long fast in this life..."

After a pause, Ning slowly calmed down, looked at Lan Hongen again, and said with a solemn expression: "Really, Hong En! There are three unfilial acts, and having no descendants is the greatest. I don't blame you, I only blame my fate. I have not had a child for so many years, and I am very grateful that you didn't dislike me. If I were to be in another family, I would have been kicked out a long time ago, among the "seven outs". Isn't there such a rule as "no child, get out"? Hong En , Listen to me, marry another house as soon as possible, and continue the incense for Lan Mansion. People like us don’t say you marry one house and two houses, even if you marry ten houses and eight houses, don’t you worry about being able to support them?”

Lan Hongen listened, looked at Ning Shi, and saw sincerity in Ning Shi's eyes; unconsciously sighed deeply, hugged Ning Shi a little tighter, shook his head and said: "No, Huijuan , don't talk about that anymore! It's not that I haven't thought of taking a concubine, but I can't!
I can't be sorry for you!When I think about lying in the arms of another woman, I feel sorry for you!

I only have you in my heart.Besides, it's not that you don't know that we are from a scholarly family, who cultivated and read family heirlooms, know etiquette and justice, and know shame.The ancestors have already set the rules, the men of Fanlan Mansion are not allowed to go whoring or sexing with prostitutes..." Having said this, Lan Hongen blushed a little, and the little beauty from last night suddenly came to mind, he swallowed before continuing; " It is not allowed to ask for concubines.Our grandfather married his grandmother at the age of 20, and the husband and wife are very close.My father was born in the second year; but not long after, my grandmother suddenly fell ill, and seeking medical treatment everywhere was ineffective, and my grandfather cried and swollen his eyes.When my grandmother was dying, she grabbed my grandfather's hand and said, "Originally, we should turn ourselves in and go back together, but I didn't expect that I would go first!"There will be short and long, husband, don't be too sad, the newcomer will be ten times better than me/Grandpa sobbed and couldn't speak.After my grandmother died, my grandfather looked around for a wet nurse to nurse my father.Some people envied our family's wealth, and some admired their grandfather's talents and learning. They said that the matchmakers broke the threshold and proposed daughters from wealthy families, but they were all rejected by the grandfather. In the past 27 years, my grandfather never lost sight of his eyes, guarding himself like a widow in a boudoir, enduring the cold and being alone without a single complaint.Today, I already have you, but how dare I do something that violates the will of my ancestors? "

When Ning heard this, she was very moved, and tightly grasped Lan Hongen's hand.She wished she could melt the man in front of her with one bite.The more Lan Hongen said this, the more she felt ashamed of her husband, she still said firmly: "Hong En, I know the rules of your Lan Mansion, and people around a hundred miles know that you are a good family. There are three unfilial acts, No offspring is the greatest, if you don't leave a descendant for the Lan family, how can you have the face to go to the heavens to meet your ancestors? I believe that as long as you leave offspring for the Lan family, even if you violate the last words of your ancestors, your ancestors will I will forgive you! Hong En, really, tell me, what kind of person do you want to choose? As long as you like her, no matter if she is a rich lady in a red courtyard with high walls, or a talented and beautiful villager in a hut with bamboo fences Auntie, I will help you marry her back!"

Lan Hongen was moved by his wife's sincerity, he stroked Ning, and also showed a firm look: "Huijuan, stop talking, I don't want to hear it!"

But Ning refused to stop talking, as if wanting to let her husband see that she was loyal, she whispered in Lan Hongen's ear, "Hong En, you are my good husband! I know, what do you all like? If you don’t dare to marry a concubine because you are afraid of the reputation of violating your ancestor’s will, the little girls in that family are like Da Cui and Xi Juan, all of them are watery. If you want to have fun, you can bring them in for fun. nothing……"

"Huijuan, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are! What are you talking about? You really should slap me!"

Ning moved her mouth closer and said, "Then, hit me!"
