The woman shook her head and said: "Actually, things are not as simple as you think. Do you think Prince Jie's Mansion has no strength? Although everyone in Prince Jie's Mansion is honest and responsible, that housekeeper is not someone to be trifled with. I heard
That damn ghost said that the housekeeper scolded all the civil and military officials bloody in the Zhaoyang Palace, and even beat Concubine Yan."
"Concubine Yan, who is it?"
"Concubine Yan is the master of the harem and has a cruel nature. There are often mysterious disappearances of maids in the harem, which makes people panic. Everyone suspects that Concubine Yan has done something good, but no one dares to stand up and say a word."
After the woman finished speaking, she continued: "But the era of Concubine Yan has passed. Now, the housekeeper of Prince Jie's Mansion, Concubine Qian, is the master of the family."
The pretty boy then thought thoughtfully and said, "To tell the truth, the situation is really tricky. No wonder Mr. Futai wants to hide."
The woman suddenly showed a bad expression and said: "Wouldn't it be better for him to hide? Whenever we want it, we want it."
The pretty boy sat up, hugged the woman's bare body and said, "Madam, we can't do it today. I have to go on stage to sing later, and I will really fall off."
"Okay, I'll spare you today..."
"Pa!" A sound made the man and woman in the grass look around in panic.
"Madam, did you hear a noise?"
"It seems there is, forget it, it may be coming from somewhere else, but we'd better leave quickly to avoid being discovered. I'll go back to the house first, and we'll see you another day."
The woman hurriedly put on her clothes, stumbled out of the grass, looked around and found no one, then got into the carriage and drove away.
The pretty boy slowly walked out of the woods and headed towards the city.
Duoduo and Jinlian emerged from the grass. They couldn't help but swat the mosquitoes, which scared them away.
Duoduo rolled his eyes at Jin Lian and said, "Let's go, it's time to take action."
"Oh, sister is going to Luofu?"
"No, let's catch that pretty boy just now and let you watch." Duoduo said, otherwise he said with a bad look on his face: "It's up to you to deal with it..."
"Haha, sister, why are you smiling so strangely? I don't like that pretty boy. Although he is really good-looking, like sister, I like men like the prince."
Duoduo said angrily: "What? How dare you steal a man from me!"
"Gaga, no, no, Jin Lian is just making an analogy. She likes men like the prince, but she doesn't like the prince."
"Okay, stop making trouble, business is more important."
The two quickly walked out of the woods and walked towards the carriage.
Unexpectedly, the pretty boy actually ran into the door by himself, circled around Duoduo's carriage, and found that there was no one around. He actually climbed onto the carriage, swung the reins and ran away.
Jinlian laughed and said: "Sister Haha, he actually stole our carriage!"
"He's dead!" Duoduo jumped up, then reached out to grab the top of a tree the size of a human body. King Shen Li fell, causing the tree to bend down.
Jin Lian was puzzled: "Sister, what are you going to do?"
As soon as he finished asking, he saw that the tree was rising again like a springboard, and Duoduo borrowed the rebounding power of the tree trunk to jump high, flipped several times in the air, and quickly chased after them on the tops of the trees.
past.
The pretty boy stole a beautiful carriage and was feeling happy when suddenly he felt the car sink and a woman landed steadily beside him.
"Wow, who are you!" the pretty boy asked with a surprised look on his face, and his eyes were so fascinated that he looked in a daze.
Duoduo is quite proud. With her beauty, she is one of the best in the Southern Dynasty.
"Who am I? Didn't you see that I fell from the sky?"
"You...are you a fairy?" The pretty girl suddenly asked in an idiotic tone.
"Fairy? How...how could you tell?" Duoduo was extremely happy when he heard this, but of course it was all pretending.
"Of course you can see it. If you weren't a fairy, how could you fall from the sky? And you're so beautiful, no one would believe you if you said you weren't a fairy!"
"Haha..." Duoduo didn't expect that this pretty boy would be quite good at deceiving women with these sweet words. No wonder he, an opera singer, could actually deceive the woman of Mr. Futai. He really has some ability to deceive women.
The pretty boy sniffed Duoduo's ears with his nose, and said in a very gentlemanly manner: "Where do you want to go, girl, when you jump on my carriage?"
Duoduo did not answer his question directly, but smiled slightly and said: "Do I smell good?"
The pretty boy said happily: "It smells good! It smells great!"
"Haha, everyone said that, by the way, who smells better, or Mrs. Futai?" Duoduo asked, still smiling.
The face of the pretty girl suddenly changed, and she asked nervously: "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that I know who you are?" Duoduo said, suddenly stopped smiling and said: "Humph, you are a fool, a mere actor, and you actually hooked up with Mrs. Futai.
, I think you are tired of living?"
The pretty boy said with twinkling eyes: "Madman, I don't even know what you are talking about? Farewell!"
After saying that, the pretty boy wanted to turn over and jump out of the carriage, but Duoduo just pressed lightly and held the pretty boy down, unable to move at all.
"Girl, you can't talk nonsense. Some words can kill people if you say them!" The pretty girl finally panicked.
"It's your business to say it or not. However, I would like to invite you to be a guest at Prince Jie's Mansion for the time being. Are you interested?"
"Jie...Prince Jie's Mansion..." The pretty boy seemed to know Duoduo's intentions, but he still pretended not to understand anything and said, "I am an actor, why should I go to Prince Jie's Mansion?"
"You are an actor, so of course I am here to sing opera. You, the "fourth mother", are not bad at singing, and everyone in Prince Jie's palace likes it. Just go and sing for them for a few months, and I will pay for it, okay?"
Okay, that’s settled.”
Duoduo asked and answered his own questions, and did not give the pretty girl any power to make a decision.
"I..." The little white face said with a sad face: "Girl, please spare me, I can do anything you want, but don't tell me and Mrs. Futai's affairs. There are seniors, juniors, and elders...
…”
"That's wrong. There is an old one at the top and a young one at the bottom. You can't even lie, but you are still an opera singer, haha."
Duoduo said and turned the car around.
The pretty girl was shocked. On the other side was Futai's home. Could it be - "Don't worry, I'm just going back to pick up one of my sisters."
"Call me sister, don't call me girl after girl. I'll call you pretty girl from now on. Do you think that's okay?"
"this……"
"What, you don't like it?"
"I...like it."
"As long as you like it."
After picking up Jin Lian, Duoduo drove the carriage back to Prince Jie's Mansion. Unexpectedly, the driver also climbed back.
"Hey, coachman, I see you are limping and walking slowly. I didn't expect you to deliberately pretend to be lame to gain sympathy."
"No ma'am, I couldn't walk any more, so I hired a cheap car halfway."
"Don't be afraid, I didn't say I blame you." After Duoduo walked into the courtyard of Prince Jie's mansion with the pretty boy, he started to shout: "Sixth Aunt, come out quickly, the girl of your dreams, Fourth Niang, is here to see you.
"
"Tch, madam, you are making fun of me again." The old woman came out with a garbage shovel. After seeing the pretty boy, the garbage shovel dropped to the ground with a bang in her excitement.
"Woooo... It's really Siniang. Oh, madam, you are so kind to me. You know that I like Siniang and you brought him back to me."
"Sixth Aunt, just make good use of it. He will live in our house from today on."
"Are you the prince's wife?" The pretty boy then realized that he had met the real Queen Mother. It seemed that if he wanted to survive, he had to cooperate obediently.
At this time, Nangong Jie came out of the house and was curious as to why the woman came back so quickly. Didn't she say that she was going to be a guest at the house of the master, chatting about homely things? And she also brought back a man!
"Who is he?" Nangong Jie asked, pointing at the pretty boy.
"Oh, he is the one that Sixth Aunt likes. I specially brought him back to take care of Sixth Aunt." Duoduo said with a smile, leaned her mouth and said: "This guy is very popular, he is a useful master, you
Keep an eye on this person for me and don't let him escape."
After Duoduo finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, hooking his hand and saying: "Jinlian, let's go, it's time for us to visit Mr. Futai's house."
The pretty boy knew that the affair in the bushes had been exposed, and he was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do... This time when he went back to Futai, he had a lot of worries. Before, he was thinking about how to please Mrs. Futai, whether to intimidate her.
The question of inducements.
But now there is no need for it. I just give an order and leave, and I will naturally feel much happier.
As expected, the coachman did not lie. The Luo Mansion was built deep in the grove. The servants of the Luo Mansion were very good and stopped many carriages and were not allowed to park in front of the Luo Mansion.
"Jinlian, tell them who I am."
"Yes!" Jin Lian pushed the person angrily and said, "Get out of here, you are a scornful fellow, isn't it easy to seek death? Do you know who she is?"
"I don't care who she is? In the entire capital, our Futai master is the biggest!"
"What if it's someone from the palace?"
"Palace... palace..." As soon as the man heard that he was from the palace, he panicked. He hesitated for a moment, then turned to his companion and said, "Go in and report to Madam that someone is coming to make trouble in the palace."
,quick!"
"Making trouble?" Jin Lian raised her hand and slapped her: "Who said we are here to make trouble? We are here as guests!"
"Why do you hit people randomly?"
Jin Lian said: "My aunt is going to hit you. A good dog doesn't block the way. Not only did you block the way, but you also barked. If not, who would you hit?"
At this time, a woman dressed dignifiedly and elegantly walked out of the house with a calm face. As she walked, she said, "I heard that someone is coming from the palace. Who is it?"
Mrs. Futai walked out with small steps, looked at Jinlian, and then at Duoduo. Without any impression, she suddenly changed her face and said: "I thought it was some empress in the palace, but it turned out to be some
You nameless people, please go, Mr. Futai is not here. If you want to see him, come back another day."
After Mrs. Futai finished speaking, she turned around and returned.
"Wait a minute, Madam Futai, I came to see you specially today, but you don't think you are my guest?" Duoduo said, looking at Madam Futai with the same calm expression.
Mrs. Futai frowned slightly. Not everyone can claim the title of "my palace", because pretending to be a palace empress will result in beheading.
I have no impression of this empress at all. Could it be... could it be her!
Mrs. Futai's expression changed slightly, and she asked cautiously: "Could it be that you are Concubine Qian?
Jin Lian said with an arrogant look on her face: "Humph, that's right, our mistress is Concubine Qian, and she is indeed Concubine Qian!"
"Ah?" Madam Futai was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and saluted, "I don't know if it was Concubine Qian who arrived, but I was a little far away to greet you. Please forgive me."
Duoduo took a step forward, helped the person up and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty. Get up, sister."
"Yes, thank you sister for your tolerance." Mrs. Futai's tone suddenly changed from the eighteen turns of the mountain road to the nine links of the waterway. Her voice was so soft that she couldn't help but tremble after hearing it.
No wonder Mr. Futai is so henpecked. It turns out that this woman is a first-rate coward. If he doesn't follow her will, will he be coquettished to death by her?
In fact, the age difference between the two of them is not one or two years, and one can tell at a glance that Mrs. Futai is much older than Duo.
But the honor of a husband, the honor of a wife, the rank of a high official are overwhelming, and she is the emperor’s concubine and likes to call you granddaughter, so you have to laugh and call her granddaughter.
Obviously, Mrs. Futai understands this truth.
"Sister, why are you so free today? My sister's arrival has made the humble house shine. Haha."
Duoduo almost vomited after hearing this. This woman's flattery must have gone too far. Fortunately, she had not just eaten, otherwise her stomach would be in trouble.
"What's wrong, sister, are you feeling unwell?" Mrs. Futai asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's just that my sister's words scared me. Your mansion built with bricks and blue tiles is called a humble house. Prince Jie's mansion is not as bright as yours. It cost a lot of money, right? Haha, it seems that the treasury
It’s a shortfall, Mr. Futai has done a lot of credit.”
Mrs. Futai was shocked, her face became extremely ugly, but she gritted her teeth and argued: "Sister, I was joking. This courtyard was built with the money that the emperor personally appropriated in order to commend my husband for his diligence and love for the people. It empties the national treasury."
This kind of thing... Even if my husband-in-law has a thief heart, he doesn't have the courage."
"Oh? Haha, that's all because of your good discipline, sister. I've long heard that Mr. Futai is afraid of his wife. In fact, men who are afraid of their wives are generally very successful outside, while most men who beat their wives are very successful outside.
I live like a human being, sister, tell me, is this the right thing to do?"
"This... haha, what my sister said makes sense. Men should be well managed. When it's time to teach him a lesson, he should know how to teach him a lesson, so that he will have a long memory and do things well."
At this time, the servants brought fragrant tea, and Mrs. Futai poured tea for Duoduo herself.
Even the golden lotus was stained by the light. In her world, she had only thought about being a palace maid and dying of old age in the palace. She had never thought that Mrs. Futai would serve her tea today.
Duoduo took a sip in a decent manner and asked: "Master Futai is afraid that I will find him, so he is hiding, right?"
Mrs. Futai was stunned again, and sweat began to form on her forehead. It seemed that this woman was not just here to give her a slap in the face today. She only came here for a short while, and she stabbed her husband-in-law's fatal spot one after another. He was indeed a
A very powerful woman.
"Haha, sister, don't be nervous. This is human nature. However, I came here today not to see Master Futai, but to see my sister specifically."
"You're looking for me? Why are you looking for me? If you can help me, I will die through fire and water." Mrs. Futai began to feel uneasy. Youdao would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, and he was so powerful.
Woman, you must be looking for her because of the election of the prince.
"Haha, my sister is really cheerful. It's okay. People often say that Mr. Futai's beloved wife rarely appears in official circles. I was curious, so I passed by and came in to see you."
"Oh, haha, sister...it's really interesting..."
Duoduo walked out of the living room with the teacup in hand and started walking around the yard. Of course Mrs. Futai had to accompany her.
The yard of Futai's house is actually a large garden, with a variety of precious flowers and plants planted quite well. Although it is already summer, the greenery on the ground makes the whole garden full of strong spring feeling.
"These flowers and plants are so delicately planted. Are they all taken care of by my sister herself?"
Mrs. Futai said: "Yes, I usually have nothing to do. I like to plant flowers and plants to pass the time."
"Oh?" Duoduo frowned slightly and said: "How can this be possible, sister? You should go out more, go shopping in the city, buy clothes or something, or listen to a play. By the way, sister, now there is a
The actor is called Siniang. He sings very well. Many people in the whole capital like his performance. Does my sister know that person?"
"By the way, sister, there is an actor named Siniang. He can sing in disguise as a woman. Many people in the whole capital like his performance. Does my sister know that person?"
"Ah? Really? I'm not sure about that. I don't like to listen to operas, and I don't even like actors." Mrs. Futai said with a calm smile.
Damn, she has a pretty good psychological quality. She pretends like she really doesn’t know her. It seems like this woman won’t know how powerful Concubine Qian is unless she gives her some clues.
"Oh, it turns out that my sister doesn't like to listen to operas either, and doesn't like actors? Haha, I found that there are really many similarities between the two of us. I also really hate actors, especially that fourth lady!"
"Oh? Sister, didn't you just say that Si Niang sang well? Why do you hate him?"
"What's the use of singing well? You have a bad character, huh!" Duoduo said, getting angry: "Because on the surface, that person looks like a gentleman and a good man, but who knows, who knows that secretly he is a romantic?
A mature guy."
A flash of panic flashed across Mrs. Futai's eyes, and she smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out... that's it. Haha, no wonder my sister hates him so much."
"Yes, although I don't like the actor, my Jin Lian likes him very much, to the point of being obsessed with him."
Jin Lian was stunned for a moment, and when she saw her master glance at her, she suddenly understood and murmured: "Sister, you brought this matter up again. Didn't you just say it well? I will never like him again in the future.
, Sister, please don’t make fun of me all the time, okay?”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Futai seemed to be interested and asked: "So Jin Lian knows that Fourth Niang. My sister just said that you like him and you are obsessed with him. I don't know to what extent haha."
