June is the height of summer, and the sultry heat in the air makes people breathless.
Amid great expectations, a heavy rain poured down on the land of Suzhou, melting the muggy heat in the air and washing the hot streets.
After the rain, the air is filled with mist, hazy, like light smoke.
In the mist of water vapor, pairs of embroidered shoes stepped out and walked on the wet granite road. They were as light and graceful as lotuses.
After the heavy rain, it brought a bit of coolness to this hot midsummer. No matter Xiaojiabiyu or everyone, they couldn't help but step out of the house.
They played around, counting the stones between the stones, or lifting up their skirts to step into the puddles. Their shoes were wet from the splash, and their feet were cool. They seemed bored but enjoyed it...
From time to time, Wu Nong's gentle laughter could be heard coming from deep in the streets...
Xie Fu and Zhu Ming sat on the still wet roof, looking up at the streets and alleys beyond the wall.
"The most beautiful Suzhou alley in the world, wear embroidered shoes after the rain." This kind of "Suzhou charm" is to be read thousands of times in reading, but it is better to witness it with one's own eyes. It is a real sensation and has endless aftertaste.
Mr. Xie thought of his master's pair of lake-green embroidered shoes, which had been torn and torn and mended again and again.
If the master sets foot in the alleys of Suzhou, will he be like these gentle and lively women, laughing happily and dancing with water and rocks to their heart's content?
He came to Suzhou, which he had admired for a long time, but the master was no longer around...
"well!"
Zhu Ming's sigh interrupted Xie Fu's thoughts.
This sigh is the yearning for freedom and the outside world, and the two of them are two canaries raised in a deep courtyard.
Xie Fu smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Ming said angrily: "You know why you ask questions."
Xie Fu said calmly: "Actually, here I don't have to worry about food or clothing, and I can read quietly. This is exactly the life I dreamed of before."
Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment, then heard Xie Fu continue: "But now I don't want to be trapped here."
Zhu Ming responded: "It's not up to you."
Xie Fu burst out laughing, "Master Zhu, don't you really want to be Miss Tantai's lover?"
Zhu Ming showed an expression of disbelief and said in shock: "What did you say!"
Of course he understood what Xie Fu meant. The lover and the pretty boy were one in the sky and the other in the earth.
Seeing Xie Fu smiling and saying nothing, Zhu Ming added: "You're not joking."
Tantai Heqing really didn't regard them as human beings. He had been raised for several months and had only seen her twice and couldn't even talk to her.
Furthermore, talking about Tantai Heqing's identity, as the mistress of Tantai Mansion, as long as she waved, countless young handsome men would come to marry her. How could such a good thing come to these pretty, useless pretty boys?
Compared to Zhu Ming's shock, Xie Fu was quite calm and said calmly: "I don't know why, but I feel a little sorry for her."
Zhu Ming's expression was very excited, "I feel sorry for her! What qualifications do you have? We are the canaries raised by her in the yard. Wu Ma is still a breeder, we are not even human beings!"
Xie Fu smiled and said, "Aren't you even counted as a human being?"
"Apart from having to worry about food, clothing, and no need to work, we have no freedom and no dignity. Are we like humans? Don't you think we are like two animals in captivity?"
It was obvious that Zhu Ming was pent up, and under Xie Fu's temptation, he let out all the depression in his heart.
Xie Fu smiled and said, "Yes, she is the master of the Tantai Mansion, but everyone has their own difficulties. I can see that it is not easy for her, especially raising pretty boys like us, have you ever thought about it?
Why does she spend money to support us?"
Zhu Ming thought for a while and then replied: "Just like the nobles raising Silla maids and Kunlun slaves, they are a symbol of identity and status, and the fun of the rich."
Xie Fu shook his head gently, "Even if I raise two canaries, I will play with them sometimes when I am free, but she doesn't even touch us, she doesn't even look at us. This is just for fun."
Attitude?”
"Look at what you said." Zhu Ming suddenly felt ashamed as a man, he was even worse than a beast.
Xie Fu smiled and continued: "She doesn't do it for fun, but she raises her upright and upright, and everyone knows about it. I think she is deliberately ruining her reputation."
Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "How can anyone deliberately ruin his reputation?"
Xie Fupo said meaningfully: "This is what makes her heart-breaking. After all, she is a woman. Women need to pay a price if they want to stand on the same level as men."
Zhu Ming didn't know if it was because of his limited knowledge and experience. Even though Xie Fu mentioned this, he still failed to understand the key point.
Xie Fu smiled and continued: "Although she has a distressing side, she also has a hateful side."
"The hateful side?" Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "You speak softly, if these words reach her ears, your skin will be torn to pieces."
Xie Fu laughed loudly, "I hope she hears it."
He explained: "Look at how cruel and ruthless she is to us, with no empathy at all. Isn't it disgusting? Maybe she is a businessman. Businessmen are only interested in profit at any cost. She, a woman, can save the Tantai family from heavy debts."
Seeing such a beautiful scene, one can imagine how hard-hearted she is and how ruthless her methods are."
Zhu Ming quite agrees with this point. Miss Tantai is very strict with her servants and requires them to do everything carefully and not make any mistakes.
Once you make a mistake, whether intentional or not, you will be severely punished.
I heard that a male servant accidentally bumped into her bathing and was buried immediately. Later, this male servant was never seen in the house again. You think it is scary or not.
This is why the servants in the house become so angry when they mention her.
Zhu Ming thought it was a miracle that Xie Fu came back alive yesterday.
Zhu Ming told Xie Fu that the servant was buried, hoping to shock Xie Fu.
Xie Fu just smiled slightly. In his opinion, this must be fake.
First, male servants were not allowed to enter the inner house, so how could they possibly catch Tantai Heqing bathing.

Xie Fu said to the man standing in the middle of the bamboo ladder: "Diquan, get up, the scenery up here is unique."
This man's name is Hu Diquan. In addition to Aunt Wu, who is responsible for two meals a day, Hu Diquan does some of the heavier work in the yard.
Xie Fu just woke up yesterday and has a vague impression of Hu Diquan, but he feels very good about him, just like Xiao Qiu, and he still has some vague good impressions of him.
Hu Diquan said with a greedy face: "Young Master Tu, is this bad?"
How can those beautiful Suzhou ladies Wu Nong's laughter not be dazzling, any man who hears it can't help but take a peek.
Xie Fu said with a smile: "I told you that I have to change my words. Forget it, you can just call me by my name from now on."
Hu Diquan immediately said: "How can this be done!"
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Diquan, you see you still have freedom, but we don't have any freedom at all. It seems that your status in the government is higher than ours. Why not? This will be the case from now on. When you call me by name, I
Call your name."
Xie Fu said that he took his hand and pulled Hu Di all up to the roof.
"Thank you very much." Hu Diquan said, eagerly looking towards the streets and saying "Wow" excitedly, "These two gentlemen are so smart that they found such an excellent place for peeping."
Xie Fu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. Speaking of which, it's not easy to stare at someone's young lady when you meet her on the street. This would be condescending, but you can look at her unscrupulously.
"Wow! The one in red is so beautiful, and her hair is black and smooth, just like... something."
Xie Fu followed what Hu Diquan was pointing at, looked over, and answered with a smile: "It's just like black silk."
"Yes, yes, it looks like black satin, so vivid."
The three of them peeped in tacit understanding and silently.
