Chapter 49

On the second day after returning to the capital, Yu Yuezhuo was going to Xishanying to take up his post.

Xishan Camp is located in a camp in the northwest of the capital, [-] kilometers away from the capital. It has always been a military base of the Great Chu Dynasty.Yu Yuezhuo defeated the royal court of North Vietnam. Apart from the centuries-old enemy of the Great Chu Northland, the emperor handed over the Xishan Camp to him after his triumphant return this time.

Because of the long-term war abroad, Yu Yuezhuo's marriage has been delayed until now, and the emperor is not an unkind person, so he was allowed to settle the important affairs of his life first before taking office.The emperor's move is also considered wise, because Yu Yuezhuo will take over the 20 troops of the Xishan Camp, and he will be so busy at that time that he will never have time to marry a wife and have children. There was no time, so the emperor not only suppressed Yu Yuezhuo's will to let him have time to get married, but even generously gave him half a month of marriage leave as a reward for his meritorious officials.

After the marriage leave is over, Yu Yuezhuo will start to get busy, which also means that a general's wife doesn't have to be pressured to do some embarrassing things every night.

Hearing that he will be so busy in the future that he probably won't come back home to ravage her, Ah Meng is so happy that she almost wants to dance the green onion dance, but she is afraid that a certain man will be unhappy if she finds out, so she can only suppress it and prepare to wait for him After leaving, I will have a good time by myself.

But Ah Meng still has a bit of conscience, knowing that he is going to work, he is probably too busy to even have time to go home, so he is very diligent in the early morning and prepares to salute and eat, although he is afraid of someone Seeing her happy expression change, I can only try to put on a baby face, but anyone with eyes can see the joy overflowing from her body.

Yu Yuezhuo was like an old man sitting aside and drinking tea. Although the sky was about to dawn, he didn't rush out. Instead, he sat very leisurely and waited for Ah Meng to do his work for him until the sky began to darken. After the slight light, Yu Yue Zhuofang stood up and took someone who was busy into his arms.

Seeing this, the maids in the room withdrew knowingly.

Feeling his arms around his waist, Ah Meng's heart skipped a beat, and then carefully turned her head slightly so that he could get away quickly when he was about to pinch his face.

In the past two days, for some reason, this man suddenly became very vile. The most common thing he did was to pinch her face. Although it didn't hurt too much, his face turned red every time he pinched her. She was subjected to domestic violence, so she didn't dare to let too many maids come over to serve her, for she was afraid that the maids would see the clues.And she found that every time she got closer to the maid, and soon after being pinched in the face by the man who didn't play according to the cards, Ah Meng didn't dare to invite the maid to serve him in front of him.

Ah Meng couldn't figure out why this man was crazy, and felt that a normal person would not be able to understand the pervert's thoughts, so she calmly ignored his awkwardness.

"I'm going out, I don't think I will return to the mansion for the next three days, you should be more careful in the mansion..."

Like every newlywed husband who is about to travel far away, Yu Yuezhuo worriedly told his little wife some safety issues. Ah Meng listened patiently, not daring to interrupt the big devil's words, lest she be in bad luck.When she thought that he should be almost verbose, who would have thought that he changed the subject and said a little grimly: "Your maids are ugly, don't let them dangle in front of you if you have nothing to do, be careful if your eyes become cross-eyed, very ugly!"

"...I think they look pretty good."

Ah Meng plucked up the courage to refute, feeling contemptuous of the general's aesthetics, the four servants around her, except Zhichun and Zhixia whom she trusted the most, Zhiqiu and Zhidong were specially forced by Xingshi to scare her The dowry maids are naturally the first-class in appearance, and the general who said they are not good-looking does not feel guilty.

Seeing that she dared to refute, the man pinched his face again unceremoniously, until she flattened her mouth with tears in her eyes, then he rubbed her flushed face, and said earnestly: "The general said that they are ugly, it is you If you have a problem with your eyes, you will think they are good-looking. Be good, the girl is not good-looking and dirty-eyed. If you have nothing to do, don’t look at them in the future. Be careful if you look too much, you will become ugly yourself. I will dislike you. Well, wait for me After working for a while, I have some free time, and I will personally pick out some sweet, smart and good-looking maids to serve you."

Looking at his righteous and inviolable expression, Ah Meng almost thought that she was the one who had aesthetic problems, so she contradicted his point of view.Moreover, she believes that the girl he picks out will be cute and smart, but definitely not beautiful - because this girl has a problem with her eyesight!
In this way, Ah Meng confirmed that the general had a problem with his aesthetics, and felt sorry for him, so he graciously forgave him for his slanderous words.

Yu Yuezhuo was very satisfied with her obedience, bowed her head and kissed her lips for a while, until she was out of breath, she reluctantly let her go, touched her face and said: "Take a good rest these three days, Raise your spirits, and when I come back, let's try the poses behind the fire-avoiding picture again."

"..."

Ah Meng sent a certain general out the door numbly, watched him get on his horse, waved to himself, then disappeared with Fu Jiu and a few soldiers, and finally returned to the room decisively, and began to rummaging through boxes and boxes.

"Miss, what are you looking for?" Seeing her writhing under the bed with her butt up, Zhichun couldn't help asking in wonder, "If you want to find something, tell this servant, and this servant will help you find it."

Ah Meng grabbed a beautifully bound book from under the bed, looked back at the innocent and poor girl, and felt that she should not spoil the children, and save herself some face, so she declined the girl's offer. Good intentions, she still does it herself.

Ah Meng turned the whole bedroom upside down, and when she was sure that she could no longer find something that upset her, she was finally so tired that she stretched out on the chair to pant, and then drank the scented tea brought by Zhichun with a deep expression. And her ferocious eyes stared at the five booklets of fire avoidance maps she had dug out—it was these things that caused her to be tossed about by that man every night!

"Miss, what are these?" Zhichun asked curiously.Since Ah Meng didn't open her mouth, she didn't dare to flip through the books with exquisite flowers and plants on the covers.But looking at the superb painting skills, it is estimated that these books should be the paintings of some masters.

Ah Meng thought for a while, then said deeply: "This is a comic strip about goblins fighting."

Zhichun blinked, and then asked: "Miss, does this goblin mean the kind of monster that eats people in the storybook? Why would anyone draw such a thing? Will anyone read such a scary thing?" Thinking of those storybooks The appearance of the ghost described in the book, Zhichun was so frightened that his hair would explode-this is also a timid girl who is afraid of "ghosts".

The corner of Ah Meng's mouth twitched, and she said insincerely, "It's really scary, so I'm going to burn all these things. Zhichun, get someone to bring the brazier over, and I'm going to do justice for the heavens!" Ah Meng gritted her teeth, looking Would that man dare to use these pictures to make her pose and torment her in the future! !
Zhichun looked at Ah Meng, seeing her grim face, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and obediently went to get the brazier.

After burning those fire-avoiding maps to ashes, Ah Meng felt relieved for a while, thinking that Yu Yuezhuo would not return home for three days, she was even happier, and the leisurely days finally came.

Without the oppression of the Great Demon King, Ah Meng is the master of this mansion, and she lives a leisurely life without being disturbed by anyone. Even when the family eats dinner every night, the cynicism of her sister-in-law can't destroy her good mood.

On the third day after returning to Beijing, Yao Qingqing came to the door.

As soon as Yao Qingqing saw Ah Meng, she jumped over and hugged Ah Meng, and the two girls who hadn't seen each other for a long time laughed innocently.

The corners of Zhixia's eyes twitched as she was serving tea to Yao Qingqing, and she secretly rejoiced that the general was not there at this time, otherwise her own lady would probably be "domestically abused", not to mention how Miss Yao's concubine would be revenged by the general.

Zhixia is smart, she is Ah Meng's personal maid, she is the safest among the four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter - not to say that she is ugly, with three beautiful maids, the original average posture becomes It's more common - so under the deliberate warning and hint of a certain general, Zhixia understood what she should do.It can be said that because the Great Demon King was too powerful, Zhixia turned against him, and she is now the general's eyeliner arranged by Ah Meng's side.

Zhixia silently watched the two girls hold hands and talk intimately after embracing, wondering if the general would be so angry if he saw the young lady's claws touching Miss Yao's jade claws. Let the young lady no longer dare to grab other people's hands.Zhixia only thought for two seconds, and felt that the general's skills were much better than the young lady's, and people didn't even want to realize that the young lady was absolutely no match for the general.So it's better for her to obey the general's orders.

After Yao Qingqing and Ah Meng talked about the past, Yao Qingqing said to Ah Meng with some distress, "A Meng, my father has settled my marriage."

Ah Meng was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Is it really the third son of Prince Jing's mansion?"

Yao Qingqing nodded, no joy could be seen on her pretty face.

In this day and age, girls are going to get married sooner or later. After July, Yao Qingqing will be 17 years old, so it's time to get married.

"When is the wedding date?" Ah Meng asked gently.

"After my birthday, July [-]th, according to an eminent monk at the White Horse Temple, it will be a good day." Yao Qingqing was in a bad mood, then looked at Ah Meng eagerly, and couldn't help but say for a long time: "A Meng, I I don't want to marry... I don't even know what the third young master looks like, and I heard that his moral character is not very good..."

Ah Meng touched her head and comforted her: "Don't worry, your grandmother and your parents love you so much, they will naturally pick a good husband for you, and won't let you marry and suffer. And I heard The masters of Prince Jing's mansion are a little out of control, but Princess Jing and Prince Jing's concubine are both quite serious, and their family traditions are good. I haven't heard of any messy things in the backyard of Prince Jing's mansion, and there are not many women. You After getting married, it won't be too bad."

This is also the only place worthy of praise in Prince Jing's mansion. Although there are a few unremarkable masters in Prince Jing's mansion, those men are extremely picky about women, unlike other mansions where a series of women are placed inside.

Yao Qingqing frowned and thought for a while, then smiled on her face, "Well, I feel pretty good after you say that, at least it's much better than the families some of my sisters married. My brother-in-laws have many friends besides their wives. Concubines and house maids, etc., I often heard the sisters who came back tell my mother in private that their father-in-law doted on that aunt in private, and which aunt got pregnant, even my father... "

Speaking of this, Yao Qingqing looked a little sad. Although she knew that it was natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines, she was extremely unwilling to have many women around her future husband-in-law. It was not because she was afraid that those women would compete with her, but I feel uncomfortable, and I have a feeling of "being used by so many women, that man is so dirty".

The reason why Yao Qingqing has this kind of thinking is also the result of Ah Meng’s inadvertent nurturing and guidance. Although Ah Meng did not say anything about modern monogamy, she will inadvertently reveal some things about herself when she jokes with her girlfriends occasionally. The idea of ​​Yao Qingqing made Yao Qingqing grow up from a naive little girl to this appearance.

Although Yao Qingqing felt a little depressed, she didn't dare to have any opinions on the marriage made by her elders, so she just wanted to chat with Ah Meng and let Ah Meng comfort her.She and Ah Meng grew up together, and she likes to talk to Ah Meng about many concerns, even her mother, Mrs. Yao, may not know more about her than Ah Meng.

"Oh, by the way, the youngest son of King Su's mansion was born. I heard from my father that the emperor seemed very happy and said that he was going to hold a full moon banquet for the youngest son of King Su's mansion. At that time, he would invite all the ministers and daughters of the capital to attend the banquet." Yao Speaking of this, Qingqing lifted her spirits and looked at Ah Meng eagerly, "At that time... the third son should also go, after all, he is King Su, and no one will not give King Su face..."

Ah Meng had heard of King Su, he was the emperor's most trusted younger brother, a man with great power, a man under one man and above ten thousand.Logically speaking, no matter how much the emperor favors and trusts his courtiers, he will not spoil him like this, especially if this courtier is still a brother of his compatriots, isn't he afraid that his brother's wings will turn against him?However, what Emperor Chongde did was almost to announce to the whole world how much he doted on his younger brother. He made too many exceptions for King Su, which made everyone numb.Therefore, at the full moon banquet for King Su's son, the emperor was more enthusiastic and active than the father of King Su. Most people slandered in their hearts, and then calmed down.

Watching Yao Qingqing count the days, Ah Meng asked, "What do you want to do?"

Hearing this, Yao Qingqing smiled, her smile was pretty and cute, and she winked at her, "You know me, Ah Meng! The third son of Prince Jing's mansion should also go to the full moon banquet of Prince Su's mansion. That... Ah Meng , I haven't seen what he looks like yet, then you can help me pay attention to the people at Prince Jing's mansion, and see what the third young master looks like, okay?" As he said, his face was a little reddish, but he still cared about it.

Just helping to see what people look like, Ah Meng can still do this, so she nodded and agreed.

Yao Qingqing let go of her worries, and then asked about Ah Meng's affairs in Yuzhou City in the past ten days. Hearing that Ah Meng said that he went to see the Qiushan Waterfall, he had an envious expression on his face.Ah Meng just picked up some brief remarks, and did not use Yao Qingqing's attitude towards Yu's family, lest the silly elder sister ask her to curse others after complaining about her. Cursing and the like are not used casually.

After sending Yao Qingqing away, Ah Meng checked the time, it was time for dinner, so she got up and went to the front hall.

Due to the small population of the General's Mansion, everyone usually eats dinner together in the main hall. Mrs. Yao also likes to eat with his son, daughter and daughter-in-law, saying that it is more lively, so Yu Yuezhuo stipulated that the family should have dinner together.

"Has Qingqing left? Why don't you keep her for dinner?" Yao Shi asked.

"Mother, Qingqing has something to do. She said that she doesn't need to keep the meal. Let me thank you for your kindness. She will come to see you next time." Ah Meng replied. In fact, Ah Meng also called Yao Qingqing to keep the meal, but Yao Qingqing's original words were I don't want to see Yu Yuejuan's face, so that she won't be able to eat.

After Yu Yuejuan heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, "It would be better not to stay, our family has simple food, I believe she, a noble young lady, can't get used to it."

"Yuejuan!" Yao scolded.

Yu Yuejuan snorted, bowed her head and counted the rice grains.

Seeing Yao Shi's helpless face, Ah Meng helped Yao Shi pick up food with a smile, diverting Yao Shi's attention.

After the meal, the three sat in the main hall drinking tea and eating, and Ah Meng began to report the affairs of the general's mansion to Yao Shi.

Although Yao's temper is soft and he doesn't care about things, Yu Yuezhuo also handed over the affairs of the general's mansion to Ah Meng, the authentic general's wife, but under Yu Yuejuan's intentional protest, Yao asked Ah Meng to report to her after dinner every day The affairs of the general's mansion gave Yao a certain idea.In Yu Yuejuan's original words, in case Ah Meng monopolizes the power and loses the General's House due to lack of ability, Yao Shi is also worried, so he listens to his daughter's opinion.Ah Meng doesn't care about Yu Yuejuan's teasing either. As Yu Yuezhuo said, in addition to the housekeeper, there is also a powerful and loyal mother Qin to help with matters in the general's mansion. Ah Meng only needs to keep the account book and the warehouse key and wait Just listen to the report.

Yu Yuejuan, who was listening, suddenly interjected, "The full moon banquet for Prince Su's son? When is it?"

Ah Meng and Yao Shi looked at her at the same time, but Yu Yuejuan couldn't care less, she just stared at Ah Meng with burning eyes.

"April [-]th, there are still more than ten days left." Ah Meng replied, feeling that the little girl's eyes were quite bright at this time, so she said: "This is what Qingqing told me. The prince holds a full moon banquet."

Yu Yuejuan's eyes lit up, "Then are you going?"

Ah Meng saw that her body was leaning slightly, this is a movement that people do unconsciously when they are nervous and looking forward to it. Although she didn't know what she was thinking at this time, Ah Meng still said: "If our house receives an invitation, we will naturally go of."

After hearing her answer, Yu Yuejuan sat back on the chair and twisted the handkerchief in her hand, as if she no longer paid attention to their conversation, but from her expression, she could tell that she was thinking about something now.

If Yu Yuejuan didn't say anything, Ah Meng and Yao shi would not bother to ask, and continued with the matter just now.
