[Water Margin Derivatives] Yulou people are drunk with apricot flowers

A book is long, no book is short.

But Wu Yueniang, because of Meng Yulou's ingenious help, not only reconciled with Ximen Qing as before, but the husband and wife loved each other and were in harmony. At the next end, the man stayed in her room for five or six days out of ten. It was a coincidence of marriage, after all, two flowers bloomed and got pregnant again.

Wu Yueniang is grateful for Yulou's generous help this time, and she also knows how to repay her kindness. When she is impatient, she often pushes Ximen Qing to sleep in the third room. I was caught by other people and couldn't help myself, only Pan Jinlian in the fifth room hated Meng Yulou deeply in her heart. In the past, her two sisters were so harmonious, how could she help the eldest lady in a blink of an eye.

In a blink of an eye, it was Ximen's birthday again, and the entire family was busy for three to five days preparing. Since Wu Yueniang was pregnant, she didn't dare to work hard, because she entrusted the responsibility of housekeeping to Meng Yulou, the third bedroom. Although Meng Yulou is in charge of the keys of various places this time, the money is still in the control of Fifth Sister Pan, so it is inconvenient to spend it twice.Ximenqing couldn't bear to see Yulou running all over the house for such trivial matters every day.

Because she was in Pan Jinlian's room this day, Fifth Sister Pan hadn't touched him for a long time, and now she saw the master coming into her room, it was like a living dragon falling from the sky, she hurriedly ordered Chunmei to follow her, but her face was Qiao Zhangzhi said: "My master has some free time today, so I will take a trip to my city of Fengdu. I think it's hot and I don't know if I go to a deserted place to escape the heat?"

Ximen Qing said with a smile: "The room is full of you with your quick tongue. I didn't come here to play. I have a serious matter to discuss with you."

Jin Lian sneered and said, "You come to me if you have serious business? Don't make me feel ashamed for you, just tell me something."

Ximen Qing came here for Yulou, but he didn't dare to raise his voice, because he faltered and said with a smile: "Fifth Sister has been in charge of the family's money for the past few days. The birthday party in the mansion is different from the ostentation of previous years. Outside you have to deal with the officials and colleagues, and inside you may have some imperial wives coming to listen to the opera. Now that your elder sister is pregnant, you should not work too hard. You appointed the third sister Yulou It's just that she's in charge of the keys, and you're in charge of the money and accounts. It's not cheap to go back and forth, and the servants don't know who to ask for instructions. In my opinion, it's better to let the third sister take care of it for a few days, and it will save you a lot of money. Running around the house to reconcile accounts."

That's all for Pan Jinlian not to listen to this remark. Hearing this remark, she was so angry that her eyebrows turned upside down and her phoenix eyes turned round. She jumped up from the spring stool and said bitterly: "Brother Qing, it's very good, this is me, Pan Wu. The man raised by my son! Now that you want to make a face for that silver woman, why do you have to kill me one after another, simply take my clothes and face, and send me to her room to be a maid, isn't it a hundred?!" Because Said, acted like a spoiled child, and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Ximenqing just scratched his head, because he didn't know how to persuade him, he was in a mess, when he suddenly saw Miss Chunmei bumping in from outside, because he had eavesdropped on him from behind the curtain, he knew very well that the two of them were at odds.

Yin sneered and said: "Now that you have a beloved, if you don't come to our master and servant's room, we don't dare to say more. It's just that Wu Niang spends sleepless nights so hard every day in order to manage accounts for you. Now, even if there is no credit, there is hard work. Why do you bother to buy a good one just to show your affection, and just insult people like this? Nowadays, everyone in the whole house does not know that the man is not coming to the fifth room, and they are rushing to run on us, and then give us You took the account book, where is there any place for us to stay in Ximen's mansion?"

Ximenqing had originally been ridiculed by Fifth Sister Pan, and he was a little angry in his heart, but now he heard a girl from Chunmei say the same about him, because the temper of that first-class dandy had flared up again, he snorted coldly: "And What does your hoof have to do with it?" As he spoke, he ignored their master and servant, opened the box and took the ledger, and walked away without a word of consolation.

When Pan Jinlian saw this, she burst into tears, smashed most of the things in the room to pieces, and howled all night with her neck stuck. No one in the six rooms can beat Qifeng.

Ximenqing got the account book, and because he sent it to the third room, he rested here by the way.Seeing that the man was reckless, Meng Yulou did something bad with good intentions this time, but he couldn't bear to criticize him, so he could only help her husband to wash and wash, while persuading him softly:

"Don't you know what kind of temper I am? It's easy to save trouble on weekdays. Even if you go to Pan Fifth Sister to reconcile the accounts every day, it's not a problem. Now you have taken her account book for my convenience. She Is there anything in your heart that you don’t complain about? It’s not easy for our family to reconcile, and you’re making trouble for me like this again. Don’t be annoyed when you throw away your hands with her tomorrow. Let’s treat her to two drinks, and you and her will make peace. That's fine."

When Ximenqing saw that the third sister was so well-behaved and sensible, he felt even more pity, because he shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this matter. When I married her and came in, it was the old lady in the tea shop who begged me several times. Because I saw that she was a maid at a young age, she didn't have a piece of furniture in the family, and she looked neat and beautiful. Every day, some rascals would come to provoke her. I am also a young widowed person. There is a sense of pity in the encounter, and she has just married and passed the family, which can be regarded as helping the poor.

Who would have thought that when she came to the mansion, because she was young and beautiful, even Yueniang wouldn't pay attention to her, and sister Ping was pregnant a while ago, and she was jealous and made things difficult. I wanted to talk about her a long time ago, but it was just because of the relationship between husband and wife It's hard to say, now that there is a trouble, it's fine to keep her cold for a few days, maybe it's clear in the past few days, and it's not known if it will be changed in the future. "

Meng Yulou saw that Ximen Qing was really angry this time, but he didn't dare to persuade him any more, so he could only help him to wash up, and the husband and wife slept without mentioning it.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Ximen celebrated his birthday. Since he had never been to the yamen for business, a pair of official sedan chairs had come to Ximen's mansion since early in the morning. The family members of senior officials all went straight to the back hall, accompanied by Wu Yueniang and Meng Yulou.

In the sixth room, sister Ping is about to give birth, and she doesn't come out to socialize. Pan Jinlian, the fifth room, has been disheartened since she was deprived of the power to manage the accounts. I didn't see her come out and walk around on the big day.

It made Wu Yueniang and Meng Yulou very busy. While arranging some food and drink for the wives and grandmas, she also ordered the four girls in the family who learned how to play and sing to prepare a few small plays, and waited for the orders to watch.

However, Meng Yulou said that because today is a good day for Ximen Qing, she originally said that she should dress more beautifully, because she usually doesn't like luxurious jewelry, and when she was at her husband's house, she was frugal, and her husband bought jewelry for her. Those who are impatient with these flowers and fans, after a few years of marriage, they are not the status of brides, and they don't wear them even more.

Now that she is remarried into Ximen Qing's mansion, because she left all her gold and silver jewelry to her uncle who was under ten years old in the past, and entrusted them to the three elders and four youngsters in the family to take care of them. These jewelry come up, so I have never worn a piece of jewelry since I was married.

When Ximenqing and Yulou were newlyweds, they loved each other in every possible way, because every day they summoned the shopkeepers of all major jewelry shops in Yanggu County to rush to present all kinds of fresh and flower-shaped jewelry in front of Yulou, because Yulou said he didn't like it. I asked Ximen Qing to save some money on luxurious things, and because I loved the two gold rings Wu Yueniang gave me, I didn't use anything else.When Ximen Qing saw this newlywed wife was frugal, how could he not love her?I had no choice but to dismiss those merchants and stop forcing her to dress up.

Today is a good day for Ximen Qing, Yulou was originally a young concubine, she was dressed too plainly and she didn't look like it, and because this year is Ximen Qing's first year as an official, he also needs to look good, after much deliberation, it's also I had to make up the golden hairpin that Yang Jian entrusted to Ximen Qing to dress up, and paired it with a pair of high and low embroidered shoes with lotus growing every step, and Xi's clothes were all newly made, very decent, so there was no need to bother to prepare.

Wu Yueniang's family also has a lot of money, and now for the sake of her husband and son-in-law's face, she is wearing a red and gold flowered butterfly jacket with a pomegranate red silk skirt underneath, she is very charming and beaming.Because it was a serious day to meet guests, Yulou naturally did not dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with the eldest lady, because she was wearing a phoenix peony gouache jacket with a peach-colored skirt underneath.Bi Yueniang looked more lively and lively, and she was in the same position as the grandmother of the third room.

The two sisters are busy entertaining their wives and grandmas. Among them, the family member of Xia Qianhu is pregnant. Because she is married to Ximen Qing's family, if they give birth to a boy and a girl by chance, the full moon will let Xiaoding go, so Yueniang and Ximeng There are two jade towers, and the female relatives entertaining this family are different from the others. Sitting in one place, eating wine and listening to operas are more dedicated.

The main room of Xia Qianhu held Yueniang's hand and said in a low voice: "If I had known that the eldest lady was also pregnant, I would have already talked to the eldest lady. Now this opportunity is for Liu Niang. After all, with the eldest lady." It would be more appropriate if the two of us become in-laws because the fate of a lady is weaker."

When Wu Yueniang saw that she was the main wife and that she was pregnant, she disliked that the woman in Li Ping's womb was a concubine, and because she was afraid that her words would hurt Meng Yulou's mind, she quickly laughed and said, "What did the eldest lady say? It's the same for concubines, besides, I don't know that the twins of Sister Ping and I are male and female, so it won't be too late to talk about it after we raise them."

The eldest lady of Xia Qianhu heard the words and knew that she was talking about Meng Lang, because she had heard that Mrs. Wu had been sick since she was a child. Although she was an eldest lady, she was in charge of the family and didn't care about the money. Now the third grandma of Meng is the one who has the final say in Ximen's mansion. , because he came to Meng Yulou in a hurry, wanting to make up a few words, but before he could say anything, he saw her with a black cloud and a cicada on her temples, with a golden hairpin stuck obliquely, because she couldn't help but said to herself: "It's so strange." , this hairpin seems to have been seen somewhere?"
