This was Zhou Baiwen's first time sitting in the courtyard of Yu Cun's study. He knew that this was to give face to Concubine Yu in the palace and to Miss Officer Feng.
Women cannot be allowed to be together in the living room where men often come and go. Although Yu Cun is hateful, he still abides by the rules.
He couldn't help but feel a little proud. He no longer concealed his inner wantonness and looked at the scene in the study casually.
He saw pictures of pines, plums, bamboos and chrysanthemums hanging on the wall, and his artistic conception immediately took him thousands of miles away. When he thought about coming out, there was rising tea in front of him, Yu Cun's expression was calm, and Ms. Feng called Zhou
Sir, there is a hint of complaint in your expression.
Isn't it just a miracle? What's the point of complaining?
Zhou Baiwen thought this way and felt disdain for Miss Feng.
These people who come from rich families will never look down on poor students. Even if they have many good qualities, they will not catch their eyes.
He disliked Lady Guan Feng very much, just like he disliked Mao Liang. If she wasn't needed now, who would care about her?
"The concubine in the palace is thinking about the girls in the house and asked me to meet the girls and have a few words to say." Miss Feng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhou Baiwen come back to her soul, and continued to say to Yu Cun: "Master Zhou is staying at the house.
These days, not counting outsiders, if the girls don't mind, please come out and meet me. I will send the concubine's message, which is only a few words, so I don't dare to work for them anymore."
Yu Cun smiled.
It can be seen that Yucheng is also named Yu.
It's been two months since Mao Liang and the others came to the house, and they still haven't found out how many grandchildren they have.
He had an idea to trick Lady Guan Feng and Zhou Baiwen into letting them wait ten days and a half before they could see his "granddaughter." However, since Wu Luo was not at home, 70% of his energy was spent on contacting her.
I am concerned about her safety and have no extra energy to give to others.
Yu Cun said with a smile: "This is the first time for a young foreigner to see a girl in the inner house in my house. However, I am weak now and dare not offend you. If there is still a concubine, it doesn't matter, I can only give in and give in."
You took advantage of this." Ms. Feng's face turned red when she was told this, and she muttered: "I don't dare, I don't dare, Lord Zhou is also an imperial envoy, please forgive me."
Zhou Baiwen was a little proud again.
"Please come out, girl." Yu Cun ordered. Someone agreed and could hear the sound of footsteps quickly walking away.
This voice came from behind the screen embroidered with peonies and brocade cats. Zhou Baiwen looked at the screen again, thinking that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he would be promoted with the help of his godfather. Then he would have money in his hands, and he would also put some luxurious things at home.
Thing...what's the point of just having a flower and a cat in the study?
Anyway, he couldn't see what was so good about this screen, let alone that it was a double-sided embroidery with different patterns on the inside and outside. Because it was an embroidered screen, it was put out when the weather was warm so that the wind could blow in from the yard behind.
Master, please cool down.
It turns out that there is a solid wood screen here, which can block the wind and bring warmth to the study. But in the past, Yu Wuluo liked the double-sided embroidered screen the most. Yu Cun missed his granddaughter too much, so he asked him to put it on in advance. Every time he looked at it, he thought about it.
When Yu Wu falls at home, his voice and smile will make his anxiety feel better.
Zhou Baiwen thought in his mind that there should be a lot of books on display. He knew that through the accumulation of previous generations, the Yu family had some ancient books on display that could be praised by guests. He was a member of the imperial examination and was more interested in books.
Why a screen with flowers and cats?
His vision suddenly took on different colors, as if the peonies and the cat on the screen came to life, one was blooming, and the other was about to jump to the ground.
After Zhou Baiwen was startled, he heard some thin and broken sounds in his ears, just like the wind gently blowing a solid flower hedge, which could not move the foundation of the flower at all, only the easily affected flowers and leaves were shaking.
Only then did he realize that it wasn't that the color of the screen was getting darker, but that someone was coming from the backyard.
Miss Yu?
Zhou Baiwen knew that he shouldn't stay here, but unpleasant scenes suddenly appeared in his mind.
After he got an official position from the imperial examination, he also thought about getting married to a woman in Beijing with a rich dowry and a high official in his family, but all he got was rejection and cynicism.
This made him despise girls from wealthy families, and eventually developed into contempt for women from aristocratic families. He looked down on them and felt that after the candles were extinguished, they would not look the same, they were all women.
This kind of emotion came out crazy at this time, making Zhou Bai Wenming clearly understand that it is his quality to avoid suspicion and keep his head down, but he opened his eyes wide, like a dazed young man who had never seen the world, staring at the screen, as if he hadn't thought of it yet
People would come out from behind the screen, and I kept wondering why the color of the screen was changing.
Yu Cun nodded to Ms. Feng with a sneer, as if asking, "Did you bring this unskilled thing?" Ms. Feng lowered her head in embarrassment. Just now, the redness only reached the base of her ears, but now the bottom of her neck is starting to turn red.
Mother Xue walked out of the screen: "Master, as you ordered, a girl came to meet the foreign guests."
The words of the master and servant unscrupulously hinted to the guests that there was more than one girl in the Yu family, but in fact there was indeed more than one girl in the "Yu family", and there could be ten or eight girls at any time.
Immediately, Xue's mother glared at Zhou Baiwen's face and exclaimed: "Why is there still a man? Where did this wanton thing come from? Come quickly if he comes, don't beat him out yet."
"Mom!" Yu Cundao said: "This Lord Zhou, he is the imperial envoy."
"So what about the imperial envoy!" Xue's mother asked plausibly: "The master gave the girl to me, and the girl is my responsibility. I have never heard that foreign men can also see women." She said, and then asked Zhou Baiwen: "
Did you donate your official position? Why don’t scholars who passed the imperial examination know how to avoid suspicion?"
"Mom!" a warbler cried out from behind the screen.
Hearing this, Zhou Baiwen's eyes instantly straightened, and Ms. Feng quickly stood up solemnly. When she saw Zhou Baiwen was dumbfounded, she pushed him angrily: "Master Zhou, the concubine in the palace is thinking about you very much. Don't be rude.
.”
Zhou Baiwen woke up and stood up in despair. Miss Yu's voice was so beautiful.
Qingxia, who spoke out to stop Xue's mother, slowly walked out holding Hongxia's hand.
A bright moonlight seemed to rise in the living room. Yu Wuluo's girl and even the wife who was cleaning the house all had good features and even prominent eyebrows. Qingxia put on Yu Wuluo's clothes and jewelry, and she was not behind Yu Wuluo in appearance.
too much.
She was like a bolt of lightning, striking Zhou Baiwen stupidly.
Qingxia saluted her grandfather, and she and Miss Feng greeted each other. She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes and sat next to her grandfather. Zhou Baiwen continued to stand, his dull eyes moving as she moved, and continued to look at her.
"Duh!"
Hongxia walked up unceremoniously, threw the handkerchief on Zhou Baiwen's face, and cursed: "You official, can't you wake up in the broad daylight? Take your eyes back and be a good guest."
