Chapter 26
So everyone pleaded guilty and played grass fighting with Yuxin.Yuxin is young and has little knowledge, but she was defeated after a while.The maids booed and asked her to take off the Chilong beaded red gold collar to make a lottery head, but Yuxin was reluctant to give up, and slapped her down.The maids were also arguing with her, and after some fun, Yuxin begged for mercy: "Yesterday, the nanny told me a story, and it was very fresh. Why don't I tell my sisters, just tell me a story?" Don't ask for my collar."

The inner courtyard of the deep house is severely isolated from the outside world, and it is a festival to listen to a play occasionally.So when Wu Niangzi told novel stories, the maids stopped clamoring for collars, happily took tea, minced fruit and cakes, and sat down together.

Seeing that the crowd was full of anticipation, Yuxin felt complacent, and coughed a few times in a pretentious manner, and that was the beginning.

"It is said that there is an eunuch in Lin'an Mansion, whose surname is Li Mingren. I saw that I was a recruiter for the Nanlang Pavilion Ziku, and I was in charge of money and food with Shao Taiwei. The wife in the family has a brother Xu Xuan, who is ranked second..."

It turned out to be the Legend of the White Snake.

Li Ciyuan also regretted that there is no legend of the White Snake in this world. Now I know that the story of the goblin scholar is popular among the public, but if it cannot be made into a drama, it will only be circulated among the storytellers in the streets and alleys. In the ears of the lady behind the high wall.Having read several versions of The Legend of the White Snake, Li Ci lacks interest in the story itself.It's just strange to hear Yuxin's immature voice pretending to be a storyteller.

The rest of the maids listened with great interest.They have already reached the age of thinking about spring, those gifted scholars and beauties privately decide their lives, and the fox girl in the wilderness temple is passionate, which one is not half-ashamed to listen to?

The White Snake met the young master on his way down the mountain to visit the lake. He borrowed an umbrella, made love, and got married. Until the Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Xian was frightened to death by the real body of the white lady. It was really full of twists and turns. He was young, and couldn't remember what happened after Xu Xian was scared to death. He hesitated for a long time, and finally invited Mammy here with a bitter face, and said, "Mama, what should I do after Madam Bai scares Xu Langjun to death?"

The nanny told Yuxin about the White Lady, which was only used to coax her to sleep, but she didn't want Yuxin to show off here, so she pretended to be fierce and put her face on the floor, but in the end she couldn't win Yuxin's coquettish, serving her attentively while the maids beat her back and pinched her arms Next, slowly walk the stolen Ganoderma lucidum and fairy grass behind, flooding Jinshan, Broken Bridge, and Leifeng Pagoda in Yongzhen.

Unexpectedly, Bai Niangniang went through so many hardships to be with Xu Langjun, and the maid who could only see the small sky in the backyard was dumbfounded.Especially when it comes to the story of the White Snake flooding Jinshan and forcing Fahai to hand over Xu Xian, he is simply dumbfounded.

"This white lady really has extraordinary magic power." Yuxin exclaimed.

But Yu Jing said: "No matter how powerful the magic is, it will be futile under the power of the Buddha."

"But if it really ends like this, then Xu Xian will be ruthless and ungrateful too! The White Lady will stay in Leifeng Pagoda forever, all because of him!"

Yuxin was young, so she just felt that this story was thrilling. The love between the white lady and Xu Langjun was obvious, so the lovers should get married in the end. How could it be such an ending?

However, Li Ci knew that the Legend of the White Snake was originally a story about a man who was greedy for women and was sucked by a snake demon to get his essence.

It's just that the white lady guarded the pagoda, and the maids and maids also showed resentment, and Yuxin was even more relentless, so the old lady had no choice but to tell the continuation of Xu Shilin's sacrifice to the pagoda. Although the king's heart is moved, ladies must know that although this white lady has practiced for thousands of years, used medicine to save people, and accumulated a lot of merit, it can't make up for the great crime she committed. Being a different kind, trying to disobey The combination of heaven and man is one thing, and it is another thing to scare the man to death by revealing his true body at the Dragon Boat Festival. Being seen through by people without repentance, trying to flood the golden mountain in vain, causing countless deaths and injuries, is a heinous crime, and finally got the retribution of the town tower. Xu Langjun shaved her hair and prayed for blessings, Shilin felt filial piety to the world, and she couldn't go out of the pagoda to reunite with her family."

It made sense, and everyone in the pavilion nodded.

Pian Yuxin has a wild temper, she pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "This white lady is really strange, Xiaoqing is married as a dowry, why not let her be Xu Langjun's aunt?"

Most of the dowry maids who are around the same age as Madam Fan, who are good-looking and docile, will be housekeepers in the future.And in the story about the white snake that Mammy told everyone, Xiaoqing appeared as a maidservant of the white snake, so Yuxin asked this question.

Mammy didn't expect her to ask this question, and for a moment didn't know how to answer it.But Li Ci said: "Didn't mother let her dowry maid be my father's roommate? Mother said that if a maid lifts her aunt up, there will inevitably be a rift between the maid and the mistress, and some of them are too weak-minded to know how to measure themselves, thinking that they are the master." On the contrary, I lost my former affection.”

Yuxin thought for a while, nodded and said yes, but she was not convinced: "Find a few honest people to help serve your husband, then you will be fine!"

"But if the husband favors his concubine and destroys his wife, what should the lady do?"

"He dares! I'll let Daddy participate in him! Let Chu Niangzi send someone to reprimand him!"

Yuxin snorted, the first daughter of the Fu family is naturally proud, but this arrogance is showing off in the eyes of others.

I only heard the second lady say coldly: "Before marriage, a lady is generally noble, but after marriage, she is angry. If you can't have children, you can't be happy with your parents-in-law, and your husband will suffer if you dote on your concubine and kill your wife. A woman's face is earned by herself. , blindly relying on her natal family, that is a tricky woman!"

"Second lady, you—"

"Fifth lady, don't be angry, and second lady is telling the truth. If you only marry into an official family with whom your father is friendly, if your husband behaves badly, your father will stand up for you. But if you enter the heavenly family like a first-time wife, then you will suffer." You have to endure the great grievances. Don't look at how glorious it is for the first lady to enter the East Palace, but you must know that once the Hou's gate enters, it is as deep as the sea, and the palace gate is even deeper than the Hou's gate."

"What Si Niangzi said is very true." The nanny who told the story nodded and said, "Who would like a daughter-in-law who is not filial to her parents-in-law, who cares for her husband and children, and takes care of the family affairs, and blindly relies on her mother's family to stand out from the crowd?"

"That's really my fault."

Seeing that the nanny also said her, Yuxin finally realized that she was wrong, she lowered her head in front of the two elder sisters, and said, "Yuxin knows that she is wrong. Sister, please don't hit me."

Li Ci and Yu Jing would not care about her, after a small punishment, Yu Xin was also tired, so the nanny took her back to Fuchun residence.

……

……

In the afternoon, the sky was pale and it started to rain.Ladies sit in the warm pavilion, fighting tea to enjoy the scenery, cigarettes curling from Boshan stove, drizzle on Emerald Lake, gentle breeze, flowers flying all over the city, catkins returning to snow, enjoying the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, forgetting the "Duanyang rain" Then the ghosts will expose the medicine, and the people will get sick." Taboo.

But Aunt Li saw the lewd rain outside the window, and said sadly: "Flowers are flying everywhere in the spring city, and the east wind blows the willows in the cold food. When I was working in the Changsha palace, I heard a story about a snake spirit loving a scholar from a guest. It’s different. I wonder if ladies are interested in listening to it?”

Li Ci was lacking in interest, but seeing that all the maids showed anticipation, he said, "I would like to hear more about it."

"This story is very frivolous, and it is not as solemn as Mammy's."

Hearing this, all the women in the pavilion blushed, but they were even more looking forward to it in their hearts.

Aunt Li gave a charming smile and started talking.

She was telling a story of pure love and lust.

The Green Snake and the White Snake were originally two snake essences who practiced together. Because they took the Qiqing Liuyu Pill by mistake, they came to the world on a night of spring rain and flowers flying all over the city, and fell in love with Xu Xian one after another.

The White Snake married this man, caring for her husband and raising her children, asking about his health, and expressing affection with his eyes, thinking that this man would be moved, but in the end he was misunderstood by his passion.

Green Snake also likes Xu Xian. After White Snake and Xu Xian became husband and wife, they were very confused, and went back and forth with Xu Xian behind White Snake's back.

Xu Xian is a sentimental and cowardly man. He is greedy for the beauty of the White Snake, but also wants to have the Green Snake. This vacillating man finally abandons the White Snake who is so devoted to him at the juncture of life and death. Stab him to death with a sword.

Li Yongyu could speak Wu Nong's soft words, and with his early communication with personnel, he told this story even more enchantingly.Describing the charm of the white snake and the green snake for the first time in the world is lingering and pathetic. When talking about their romantic love with Xu Xian, they are already fragrant, soft and rosy without talking about clouds and rain. The maids blushed and covered their ears with shame but couldn't bear to miss a word.

In the end, Aunt Li imitated the tone of the green snake, and sighed softly: "I came to this world and was misunderstood by the world. You say there is love in the world, but what is love?"

The story of the Green Snake was so extravagant and sad that all the ladies and maids were speechless.Li Ci was familiar with "Green Snake" in her previous life, so she might as well be touched by them.It just occurred to me that "Green Snake" is not the kind of folk tales of ghosts and fox spirits popular in the folk tales of White Snake, and the values ​​conveyed are completely different from this era.Even if two similar flowers really bloom in the world, they cannot be exactly the same.

In the future, I must meet with the guest of Changsha Palace once.

Li Ci was thinking to herself, but she heard Luliu say: "White Snake's millennium has just been ruined by Xu Xian. It's really pitiful."

"I think it's worth noting that Xu Xian is such a vacillating and heartless gentleman."

It was Dan Xing who spoke.

She has a straight temper and said angrily: "If my wife marries such a man, I will definitely force my wife to make peace with that dirty man."

"Dan Xing, father would never marry such a man."

Li Ci spoke softly, Dan Xing realized that the words were reckless at this moment, and stepped back with her tongue out.

Seeing Aunt Li looking at her, Li Ci smiled and said, "The White Snake came to the world to know love, but in the end it was she who taught the unlucky people what love is. This is clearly a warning to women that most men are greedy for sex. It's not as good as the goblin infatuation that everyone fears and hates."

"Si Niangzi is right." Yu Jing said, "Only I think this story is too kind to men. If I were a white snake, I would know that a man who loves with everything I have is so miserable, and I would flood Jinshan, but Not to bring him back. I would kill him before he could meet another new love."

For some reason, when hearing Yu Jing say this, Li Ci felt inexplicable fear, but looking at Yu Jing's face, it was calm and charming, and it was just a momentary feeling.

On the contrary, Aunt Li, seeing that Yujing's tone was not kind, hurriedly said: "The two ladies are very right. The Keqing who told me this story also said that men are the most cowardly and hypocritical, and only women are pure and see their nature, and they will do it for foolishness. Foolish loyalty sheds tears."

"Isn't the person who said that a stinky man?" Dan Xing interjected.

Aunt Li blushed, "... maybe he is really a fairy in the sky."

Dan Xing wanted to refute when she heard the words, but Li Ci glanced at her, and then retreated embarrassingly.

But there was Yu Jing, who said calmly: "Could it be that my aunt has a secret heart for this fairy-like guest?"

These words are heartbreaking.

No matter what Li Yongyu thought about that Keqing in her heart, she was already the aunt of the Fu family, and if she had such thoughts, she would be disloyal to the Fu family.

So he smiled awkwardly: "It's just that the aunt listened to the aunt's nonsense, the lady thinks too much."

It's just that her apologetic smile was exchanged for a sentence hidden in Yu Jing's smile.

"I'm just reminding you by the way, keep yourself safe, and don't do anything that will embarrass the Fu family."

"It's natural."

"Naturally? Aunt Li, if you dare to tell the women such a story about sex, what else would you not dare to do!"

It was Aunt Shen!
Seeing her walking slowly, Li Yongyu quickly lowered his head and put on a pitiful look again.But Aunt Shen would not give up because of this, she said sharply: "No wonder everyone says that the king of Changsha is the most arrogant and domineering. Seeing your behavior today, it is true, it is true."

"Slave is wrong."

Li Yongyu knew that Aunt Shen used to be an errand in front of the eldest princess, and even the king of Changsha had to give way to the eldest princess, not to mention that Aunt Shen was a proud aunt in the Fu family, she didn't dare to refute, she just kept being low-key.

Aunt Shen said a few harsh words again, and ordered her to accept the punishment by herself, but she didn't blame those maids who listened to the story.After all, the girls are not young anymore, and this man and woman are married, and they don't talk about it, but they yearn for it tightly in their hearts.Seeing their ashamed faces, let's just forget about it and save some sympathy for them.
