Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 28

[Chapter 28 The text has been replaced]

Is he going to officially take Zheng Shu as his concubine?

It didn’t take long for Xiao Qiao to come to Wei’s house, but from the next day, he knew that the servants in the east room all regarded Zheng Shu as Wei Shaoji’s concubine.

In other words, although Zheng Shu has not officially moved to Westinghouse, it will be a matter of time.

Wei Shao’s acceptance of Zheng Shu, for Xiao Qiao, is naturally not a good thing that can bring benefits. But as far as the current situation is concerned, it can’t really be called a big loss, except that the bride’s face, who has just entered the door for three months, may be a little ugly.

But the current situation is much better than what Xiao Qiao expected at the beginning. Contentment is precious. What’s more, on the premise that what she said didn’t count, was it necessary for her to pour cold water on a man when he was interested in taking a concubine? This is clearly not getting along with himself.

“Really? That’s great.”

Xiao Qiao smiled and turned around, “I actually knew about you and Zheng Shu when I first came here two days ago. I saw her at the East House all the time. I have been wondering for a few days. Is it set now? Have you chosen the date? I will go to decorate the house tomorrow. By the way, I think the room in the east wing of the courtyard is very good. It is spacious and full of sunshine. , the bathroom and the front room are all ready, you can take a look tomorrow. If it is good, I will decorate the house. After all, there is nothing here, and there will be no shortage of it there.

” , and the house where she lives is separated by a road, and there is an inner door in the middle.

When Xiao Qiao finished speaking, she looked at him with a smile on her face. Seeing him looking at him like that, expressionless, without the slightest reaction, the smile gradually faded. Finally, after hesitating for a while, he asked tentatively, “What’s wrong? Do you feel unsatisfied with the arrangement?”

…

Wei Shao stared at Xiao Qiao, seeing her happy expression, and suddenly felt a little uninterested.

…

He had no interest in sleeping with Zheng Chuyu, and he didn’t want to delay this cousin’s life because of himself. Because of the pressure from Zhu Shi, he simply ignored it and didn’t feel any guilt. He didn’t want Zhu Shi to suddenly change his normal routine tonight, which made Wei Shao a little embarrassed.

Wei Shao knew his mother, knew that her vision was limited, she liked to see things at the top of the horns, and she really didn’t have the spirit of everyone. I don’t think my grandmother really embarrassed her like she said. But no matter what, it is her mother after all. Wei Shao always remembered that she was kind to herself. In fact, he also has deep feelings for this widowed mother, and in his bones, he is actually a dutiful son.

Just now in the East Room, Mrs. Zhu said so much, complaining about her grandmother, suing the bride, and so on. In fact, the only thing that entered his heart was Mrs. Zhu telling her that she was lonely on weekdays, and only Zheng Chuyu could accompany her to relieve her boredom.

I have been running around all year round, fighting at both ends for three days, and after walking this road, it is impossible to turn back, and I don’t know when it will come to an end. Grandmother and mother are estranged. This newly married daughter-in-law knew at a glance that it was impossible to please her mother. If Zheng Chuyu can really act filial piety in front of his mother, make her happy, and accept her, it will be no small matter for him.

It was with such hesitation that he returned to the Westinghouse. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that she had apparently fallen asleep by himself. On the surface, he looked respectful to him, but he didn’t take his husband to heart at all.

Wei Shao has lived for more than 20 years, and he never knew that he was such a careless person. I didn’t know what was going on when I met this newly married daughter of the Qiao family. I wanted to ignore her, but she always swayed in front of her. Looking at her, it was not pleasing to the eye when she looked horizontally and vertically. She was all over her body, except for the face that was okay, and there was almost no place where he could be satisfied. I don’t know where the sullenness came from. After I went to bed, I remembered what Zhu Shi had just sued her, and I was in trouble. I also wanted to remind her that my mother, her mother-in-law, couldn’t allow her to despise her like this. of.

As a result, she gave him a very good reason, saying that she could not cook.

Simply incredible.

Today’s daughters, even if they are as noble as their grandmothers, don’t need to cook at all after they get married, and they have received the most basic cooking instructions before they get married. She confidently said that she could not cook. After hearing this, he saw her pitiful appearance. Although he clearly suspected that she was pretending to be seen for himself, he lost his temper, couldn’t beat him, couldn’t scold him, but felt helpless, and felt even more depressed. . Recalling the scene of being teased to give birth to a child in front of Shoutang in the daytime, he couldn’t help but blurted out that he wanted to take Zheng Chuyu as a concubine.

In fact, Wei Shao hadn’t thought about it in the end. Even if I thought about it, I didn’t plan to mention it to her at all.

But the words have already been spoken.

” Husband

?”

Seeing his strange expression, Xiao Qiao called him softly again.

Wei Shao returned to his senses and glanced at her: “I don’t know how to cook and sit on a bench. There is no woman’s virtue at all. It’s not jealous. You are very virtuous.

” She chats. But the meaning of the words is clear.

Wei Shaokou said “sitting on a squat”, which happened a few days ago.

During this time in the afternoon, Wei Shao would never go back to the room. Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Qiao and Chunniang were in the room. Chunniang was doing needlework, and Xiao Qiao helped her draw patterns. Sitting on the couch with his legs stretched out, he was also unlucky, just as Wei Shao came in. At that time, Xiao Qiao quickly retracted his legs, but it was too late and he was seen by him.

At that time, he just glanced at her lightly, didn’t say anything, took the things and left. Chunniang blamed herself again, felt that she did not teach Xiao Qiao well, and was worried. Thankfully he didn’t say anything, so he felt relieved a little, and then told Xiao Qiao again and again not to sit like this again in the future.

Xiao Qiao thought Wei Shao didn’t care about this. Unexpectedly, I still remembered it in my heart, and now I turned it out and scolded her.

This posture of sitting with straight legs seems common to modern people, but at this moment, it is regarded as indecent. Hundreds of years ago, Mencius’ wife was sitting with her legs so straight when she was alone at home. She happened to be seen by Mencius, and she came out and told her mother that she wanted to divorce her. When the mother asked why, Yasheng said one word: “squat”. You can see how serious this is.

Xiao Qiao listened to him and himself going through the old accounts, lowered his head and whispered: “I know that women’s morals are not enough, but I am not jealous of this. It is both my duty and my heart.”

Wei Shao laughed “sneer”: “Listen to your tone, is it my fortune to marry such a virtuous wife as you?”

“It is my fortune to marry into the Wei family,” she said.

The room fell silent.

Wei Shao was speechless.

He suddenly felt that what he said to her tonight seemed to be too much. This was beyond his intention.

“Okay, go to sleep. It’s getting late.”

He glanced at her again and finally said.

Xiao Qiao hummed, blew the light, crawled back this time, and finally fell asleep steadily.

…

The next morning, Xiao Qiao was still asleep, vaguely aware of movement on the side, opened a crack, and saw that Wei Shao seemed to get up.

But the sky outside was still dark, and candles were lit in the room. It was estimated that there were only four or more.

Xiao Qiao suppressed the reluctance in her heart, barely opened her glued eyelids, and yawned to follow him up. At this time, she heard him say in her ear: “It’s still early. I have something to go out. Go to sleep.”

As soon as Xiao Qiao relaxed, she closed her eyes and fell back on the pillow.

Wei Shao glanced at her, opened the bed and stood outside, wearing clothes one by one. Finally got dressed and was about to leave. Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at Xiao Qiao on the bed.

She has shrunk her head to the corner of the quilt, revealing only the clouded temples of a crow.

Wei Shao hesitated for a while, then turned around, leaned over to the bed, raised his hands and bent his fingers, and knocked on the edge of the bed in a slow and slow manner.

Xiao Qiao was woken up again by him, finally pulled down the quilt, opened his eyes slowly, and saw Wei Shao with one leg pressed against the edge of the bed, his upper body leaned over, and he was looking at himself.

“Husband…what’s the matter?” Xiao Qiao rubbed her eyes, still a little out of the way.

“I thought about it last night, but Na Chuyu is still not right. I don’t have time today. You are my wife. Today you go for me and tell my mother.”

After Wei Shao finished speaking, the corners of his mouth twitched. With a smile on his face, he turned and walked away.

Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and the sleepy bug was immediately driven away.

What does he mean? Accept it for a while, don’t accept it for a while. It doesn’t matter if you don’t accept it, the question is, doesn’t this make her go to the East House and be fucked?

…

Wei Shao packed up, and when he left, he seemed to be in a good mood, and his footsteps were quite relaxed.

Xiao Qiao was not well.

When he left, the fifth watch had not arrived, and the sky had not yet dawned. When he left, Chunniang came in to help Xiao Qiao turn off the lights.

The spring night was falling asleep, not to mention that there was no one occupying her place on the bed at the moment, she could sleep as she wanted.

But as soon as Wei Shao left, she couldn’t sleep well.

She kept her eyes open until dawn, finally got up, and after washing up, Chunniang saw her distraught appearance, at first she thought it was because she was not courting Wei Hou, but after thinking about it, Wei Hou looked like this when he went out in the morning It was the best time she’d seen in a few days, and it stands to reason that there should be nothing wrong, so I asked her what happened.

Xiao Qiao told Chunniang about the reversal of Wei Shao’s concubinage that happened in just one night last night, and finally burst into Chunniang’s arms with a sad face: “Wei Shao is intentional, he knows that his mother doesn’t like it. I, I also asked me to refuse to take a concubine for him…”

”

Be careful of your liver—” Chunniang was startled, and covered her mouth, “Can Wei Hou’s name be called like this? People heard it!” At this

moment, the name really can’t shout. Unless the elders, the enemy or the enemy will call the other party’s name directly to show contempt and abuse.

Joe closed his mouth.

Chunniang’s face showed joy again: “It’s a great good thing that Wei Hou does not accept Zheng Shu, why is the lady unhappy? As for rejecting Mrs….”

She thought for a while, leaned into Xiao Qiao’s ear, and whispered a sentence.

Xiao Qiao’s eyes lit up, and her mind finally cleared up.

It’s all to blame that Wei Shao (repeated a thousand times here), since the first day we met, when facing her, she was either black-faced or ridiculed, or she was interrogating the prisoner. Every quarter of an hour she lived with him, she almost They were all nervous to deal with it carefully, lest in the next second, he would not know why he offended the young master Wei, and then his mind became dizzy, and he even forgot the big Buddha of Mrs. Xu in Beiwu.

Xiao Qiao’s mood immediately improved, and hurriedly changed her clothes and went over.

Yesterday’s birthday, Mrs. Xu was supposed to be tired, but she still woke up early this morning.

Probably because she didn’t want to meet Zhu’s daughter-in-law more often, Mrs. Xu avoided Zhu’s morning visit a long time ago. If he was at home, Mrs. Zhu would only come to say hello on the first and fifteenth day of the new year. So Xiao Qiao passed by and didn’t meet Zhu Shi.

She asked the maid to pass the message inside, and without waiting for a moment in front of the outer porch, she was passed in almost immediately.

Mrs. Xu went to bed early and got up early, and her life has always been very regular. Looks in good spirits. Wearing home-made clothes, sitting on a low couch, drinking porridge made from corn, with a few dishes of sauce and rice on the small table in front of him, the diet is very simple, and the utensils are also stoneware, clean and simple. .

Xiao Qiao asked her to kneel down. Mrs. Xu asked her to get up, asked Zhong Li to add another set of tableware, and asked Xiao Qiao to eat with her.
