Idle courtiers

Chapter 122

A yamen servant replied: "Didn't the county lord, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Gui and Mr. Zhan be taken to the capital by Jin Yiwei a few days ago? I thought Mr. Zhou and you would never come back, but things are strange. The new county magistrate has arrived. After another month, Zhan County magistrate came back and said, Mr. Zhou, you are serving in the army."

"A few days ago, there was another news that you, Mr. Zhou, had gained military merit and were promoted to rank nine governor. We are still confused and want to ask you, Mr. Zhou!"

Another yamen servant scolded his companion: "Why do you ask so many questions? I didn't see that Mr. Zhou was very drunk. Hurry up and help him go home."

Zhou Nan also looked confused.He murmured: "What's the matter? I don't understand, I don't understand!" However, after hearing the words of the two yamen servants, his heart still sank.

That's right, I've been in Tang Shunzhi's veil for a while, with him covering me, but I forgot about the case.

This matter involves too much. If it is not settled, he may be taken to the capital for questioning at any time. He is worried. The governor is not at ease in front of him!
It was already dark at this time, and Zhou Nan was very drunk. He was supported by two yamen servants and walked all the way. In addition, he was blown by the cool wind.

After vomiting, I suddenly felt dizzy and my body became weak.

I don't know how long it took, and finally arrived at the door of the house.

A yamen servant patted the door knocker and shouted: "Vanilla, vanilla, open the door quickly, great joy, great joy, your master is back!"

"Who, what master?" A [-] or [-]-year-old fat girl opened the door and looked at the three of them in surprise: "Huang Chaguan, Liu Chaguan, who are you supporting?" Obviously, the two A yamen servant had been to Zhou Nan's house before, but this woman knew them.

The yamen servant surnamed Huang smiled and said: "Xiangcao, you probably don't know him. This is your master Zhou Nanzhou. He just came back from Yangzhou. What a happy event! We have sent your master back. Master Zhou is drunk. It's terrible, you take it back to the house."

"Ah, he is my master?" Vanilla yelled out in surprise after taking Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan smiled and said: "Nonsense, there is no second Zhou Nan in the world. You just bought it, right? Where is Yunniang?" Enough strenuous, now there is one more vanilla for dinner.Yun Niang has always been frugal, this is not her nature.

Vanilla: "Returning to the master, the maid and Lettuce entered the house last month, and the mistress and Lettuce went back to her mother's house together, and they will return tomorrow."

Zhou Nan was stunned, "Who is the lettuce..." It must be another maid, how did Yunniang change her mind, not to mention buying a maid, but buying two for one.That's right, there are a lot of refugees in Huai'an now, and the eldest daughter of Huanghua is not worth much. You can pick one for two taels of silver, and it won't cost you much.I'm an official anyway, and now I have hundreds of taels of silver on hand to continue. If I don't have a maid to use it, I will lose face in the circle.

He was so drunk that his eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand catties, and he fell asleep in the arms of the female King Kong when he tilted his head.

It was midsummer, and it was too hot in the house.Zhou Nan only felt that someone took off his clothes and wiped his body with a hot towel. After tossing for an unknown amount of time, his body gradually became refreshed.

Then, another feeling of coolness arises.

Zhou Nan stretched out his hand subconsciously, and hugged a warm and plump body in his arms.

Everyone wore less clothes, and a faint fragrance came to the nostrils, permeating the bones like a snake.

Zhou Nan couldn't help but stretched his hand forward and touched it.

It's a woman, a real woman.

He was young and full of vigor, and he had not been close to women for two months, like a firecracker that was about to be fired, how could he hold on at this moment.Push it hard again, as if to say: "Master, don't want it!"

This kind of refusal and welcome is the most terrible thing, Zhou Nan's eyes are full of gum and he can't keep them open.He couldn't control that much, he tore off the man's skirt and threw himself on him.

I don't know how long it took, the sudden rain stopped, dissipating the anger that had been suppressed in my heart for two months.With another touch, I felt a big belly, and I was shocked: This is not Yunniang!
He and Yunniang have been husband and wife for a year, and they are extremely aware of each other's physical condition.How can you not know that the person around you is not your wife.

So, who is it?

Zhou Nan suddenly remembered that when she entered the house earlier, the maid Xiangcao said that Yunniang and Lettuce had gone back to her natal family, and now she is the only one left in the house.

Could it be vanilla?Yes, it must be her.

The ancients had a saying about housemaids, that is to say, when the mistress is inconvenient or pregnant, the maid has the responsibility to serve the male master instead of the mistress.Of course, according to feudal etiquette, once a maid takes over the house and gives birth to a child, she will be accepted as a concubine and become a half mistress.

This is also a good way out for poor girls who are sold into rich families.

Vanilla must also be an ambitious person. Seeing that I, Zhou Nan, is now an official, and seeing that the Zhou family is going to prosper, they have the desire to be superior, and want to cook with me.

Thinking of the body of the female Vajra vanilla, Zhou Nan felt disgusted as if swallowing a fly.Since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he has only had two women.Not to mention Yun Niang, she is a sunny and healthy beauty with a decent figure; as for Sister Su, although she is not stunning at first glance, she looks more and more pleasing to the eye, giving people a comfortable feeling.

When it comes to matters between men and women, Zhou Nan is still very picky. It is said that he would rather eat a bite of fresh peaches than a basket of rotten pears, and guard his body like jade.

But I didn't want to, hunting geese all day long, but today I was blinded by wild geese, and was tricked by a stupid maid at home.

At this time, he was completely awakened by fright, opened his eyes suddenly, and cursed: "What a bold and shameless whore, she has earned the master, get out!"

He raised his foot and kicked the butter belly of the woman beside him, intending to kick her off the bed.

"Master, don't, don't touch my stomach, there is a child in it!" The voice panicked.

"Ah, there is no reason for you to touch Master Ben's bed even if you have a child. Do you want Master Ben to be your mother and child's successor?" Zhou Nan was very annoyed at this thought, and was about to continue to scold him.

Suddenly, he thought of something and was startled: "You are not vanilla, who are you?"

Yes, even though he was very drunk when he entered the house earlier, he still retained some sanity.Vanilla is tall and strong, with masculine features all over her body, she doesn't look like a daughter at all, and her voice is extremely thick when she speaks.

But the voice of the woman next to her was soft and crisp, with a standard Beijing accent.

The woman got up and said lightly: "Master, is it you? I heard that you were arrested by Jin Yiwei, and the whole family is worried. Fortunately, fortunately, you have finally returned safely. Today, my wife went back to her mother's house, and the concubine Come and serve the master."

"Sister Su...ah, why are you here?" Zhou Nan was so startled that he was sweating all over, and hurriedly lit the fire booklet and lit the oil lamp.

Looking closely, who is the naked woman kneeling on the bed but Sister Su?

For Sister Su, Zhou Nan felt sympathy, guilt, fear, loathing, love, and even a trace of longing... He couldn't tell what it was in the end.

Sister Su suddenly appeared on his bed. Zhou Nan's first reaction was that she had fallen into her trap. It would definitely be a big disadvantage to him in the future. He was shocked and angry, and then said: "Tang Su, there is a bad relationship between you and me. Well, what on earth do you want to do?"

A trace of sadness suddenly flashed across Sister Su's face: "Don't tell me there is nothing between you and me other than debts? I didn't want to come to you, but Yunniang picked me up. From the first day I entered your Zhou family From now on, I, Tang Su, will be your concubine of Zhou Nan."

"Yunniang picked you up, little concubine? Yunniang would do such absurd things?" Zhou Nan looked at Sister Su's belly, sweating profusely: "The child in her stomach..."

Sister Su: "It's yours."

"Ah!" Zhou Nan opened his mouth wide, and there was a lot of sound in his throat, but he couldn't say a word.

Sister Su: "My lord, although I, Sister Su, was born in a brothel, she is not a shameless person... But a woman is pregnant with Liujia, but it is very inconvenient... Yunniang came to me when she heard about it." Go... Feeling Madam's kindness, the concubine thought again, the child can't live without a father... So I don't want to face anymore... Just now the master fell drunk on the bed, and the concubine came to serve... The master was on a whim, and the concubine is a woman How can I resist it. I am afraid of hurting the fetus in my womb, so I have to..."

She spoke lightly, as if she was talking about things that had nothing to do with her.After talking for a long time, Zhou Nan finally figured out what was going on.

It turned out that after I had just traveled to the Ming Dynasty, since I had two confused encounters with Sister Su on the boat that day, I had made Sister Su secretly entangled.

One is that because of that incident, Sister Su was too sad, so she deliberately concealed it and wrapped her stomach with a cloth.Second, because the heart is sad and the fetus is not well nourished, everyone can't see it at the beginning.

But when Zhou Nan was taken away, Sister Su became heavier and could no longer hide it.

Tang Su's husband, Mr. Mei, had passed away ten years ago, and some people in the city had already said that Sister Su was pregnant. Who is the father of this child is naturally ready to be revealed.

After Yunniang heard about this, she went to see Tang Su's big belly with her own eyes, and took her home.

Sister Su was so arrogant that she refused.But feeling Yunniang's sincerity, she also thought that if she gave birth to a child in the future, it would be fine if she was a daughter, anyway, she would find a good man to marry in the future.But if a boy becomes an illegitimate child and is looked down upon by the world, how will he survive in this world in the future?
For the sake of her child's future, she could only pack up her things and live here.She was going to wait for Zhou Nan to come home before formally becoming a concubine.

Counting it, she has been in October since she was pregnant, and she has reached her due date.

Speaking of Sister Su's life experience, there are really twists and turns, first she was a lady from an official family.After his father broke down, he was enlisted as a slave in the teaching room, and later he was redeemed by the eldest son Mei to become the eldest mistress of the Mei family, and now she has become Zhou Nan's concubine, which is embarrassing.

Zhou Nan never dreamed that he would encounter such a thing as soon as he returned home, what a pleasant surprise.No, I'm afraid I can't talk about joy, but I'm shocked.

No wonder when the two yamen servants went to the city earlier, they said that the Zhou family had double happiness.

He sat blankly on the bed and looked at Sister Su who was kneeling in front of him, and it took him a long time to come to his senses: "Sister Su..., you are heavy, stop kneeling, and be careful about the baby in your belly."

Sister Su straightened up, revealing her beautiful breasts.

That size is three points more majestic than before.

Zhou Nan couldn't hold back after a long drought and rain. He didn't speak, and hugged him gently.

Sister Su and Zhou Nan have been entangled in grievances for such a long time, and it is embarrassing for the two to be honest with each other for the second time.At the beginning, he was still indifferent, but gradually became emotional.

The only sound left in the room was her rapid breathing: "Master, my family is pregnant, I hope the master will be considerate."

Zhou Nan was startled, changed the storm into a steady stream, and said in a low voice: "Sister Su, it was my fault in the past, please don't take it to heart."

Sister Su's tears finally flowed down, and it was said that she had fulfilled her wish to enter Zhou's house this time.But after all, it was Yunniang who took it over, it wasn't that the thief was willing, there are always some places that are not beautiful.

She thought again, in the mind of my husband, my status is not high after all.Hope to have a son, hope to have a son.

Probably drunk, Zhou Nan was still lying on the bed the next day with three shots.

Sister Su wanted to get up several times and said she was doing housework, but she was hugged by Zhou Nan, saying that our family is small and there are not so many rules.

After another half day of lingering, with several spring breezes, Zhou Nan's body and mind were greatly satisfied. Seeing that it was already noon, it was impossible not to get up for dinner.

At this moment, Yunniang cried in surprise from outside: "Master, you're back? I'm finally looking forward to you."

Hearing her voice, Zhou Nan was overjoyed and sat up suddenly: "It's me, Yunniang, I'm back, come in and let me see you."

But it was too embarrassing to see that he and Sister Su were lying naked on the bed.He hurriedly shouted: "You wait outside, I'll get dressed and come out right away."

Sister Su was so ashamed that she hid her whole body under the quilt.

At the door, Xiang Cao shouted in panic: "Madam, sit in the main room first, and I'll make you tea."

At this time, another woman's voice sounded high-pitched: "The mistress returns to her house, Xiangcao, what are you doing at the door, get up!"

The voice was very strange, it should be another maid named Lettuce in the family.

Zhou Nan and Sister Su lay on the bed all morning and talked a lot.Only then did I know that Vanilla was a maid bought by Sister Su from the market. The reason why she bought her was to take care of herself during pregnancy.As for the lettuce, it was Yunniang who bought it, and at the same time it was to take care of Sister Su in the future.

This purchase is heavy.

There was no other way, so Yun Niang kept Lettuce by her side and became the big house's personal maid.

Vanilla: "The master is resting in the room, how can I let the lady see it? The lady should go to the main room first!"

Lettuce suddenly understood: "But Auntie is in the house, shameless!"

Vanilla: "Who is shameless, lettuce, you little hoof, speak clearly, or your mouth will be torn apart."

Lettuce: "Whoever is shameless knows in his heart that this house belongs to the master and the aunt, but not everyone can go in, and don't look at who he is, shameless!" Indeed, in feudal society, the master and the old lady It is a basic rule to live in one house for oneself and another for concubines.

Now the little concubine, Sister Su, went to Yunniang's room and slept with Zhou Nan. This is already against the rules, it is a provocation to the aunt, and it is a humiliation.

It is tolerable and unbearable.

Vanilla was probably a formidable character when she was in her own house, and she got annoyed immediately, and scolded Rapunzel.

The Lord worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the Lord humiliates his ministers to death.So, the two servant girls were their own masters, scolding each other with guns and sticks.

Zhou Nan suddenly felt a mess in his mind. He was just a low-level family, a ninth-rank official, and the house fight started at home. Will he still have it in the future?
