Under the flickering candlelight, Lin Jingmo's rich makeup was reflected in the bright bronze mirror. Her lips were like red lotus, her face was apricot and her cheeks were peach. A golden phoenix hairpin was inserted diagonally into her bun, supplemented by two pairs of gold-inlaid jewelery covers.
On the temples, there are earrings with rings and a three-leaf gold stem hanging with a round carved jade bead. The whole body is luxurious, and the eyebrows are charming.
"Hiss..."
Suddenly she frowned and slapped an earring on the dressing table angrily. It turned out that the ear needle was too thick and hurt her ear. She was in pain and said in a muffled voice: "Where is Qiaoxiang? Where did the little hoof go?"
I’ve gone to another place and just been lazy all day long!”
With a creak, the door was opened.
Lin Jingmo did not look back, but while looking at the injured and bleeding earlobe in the mirror, he said angrily: "You lazy little bitch, it's God's fault. The hot water in the bathtub is cold. If I want you to get water, why don't you go...
…”
It wasn't until the man's cold face was unexpectedly reflected in the mirror that Lin Jingmo suddenly stopped talking.
Her face gradually softened, she raised her eyebrows and lightly opened her red lips: "My lord?"
Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo, who was extremely beautiful in the mirror, raised his hand and pulled out the golden phoenix hairpin on her head, and her black hair fell down like a waterfall.
He put the phoenix hairpin on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and a burst of jasmine fragrance hit him.
The head of this hairpin is a hollow golden phoenix, which is made of finely stacked silk threads. The tail of the hairpin is hammered and very sharp. The golden phoenix stands on a hollow flying cloud, looking graceful and luxurious, just like Lin Jingmo, who has always been aloof.
Average.
Putting the gold hairpin on the dressing table, Shang Shixu said lightly as he approached Lin Jingmo: "Madam is still so angry..."
"Ha..." Lin Jingmo chuckled, followed Shang Shixu with his eyes, turned around, and curled up his broken hair charmingly: "Your Excellency never comes into my main courtyard, so how can you know my temperament?" p>
Shang Shixu stretched out his hand and slightly lifted Lin Jingmo's chin, which was full of smiles but cold to the bone. He carefully looked at Lin Jingmo's charming face, painted with powder and red, and said word for word: "What a beautiful face, I don't know what's underneath the beauty."
What kind of heart is it?"
Lin Jingmo's smile froze on his face, then bloomed again like a flower. He raised his eyes and said: "No matter what my heart is, I am the wife you are marrying! Your Majesty has an official position, and the concubine is the one who is appointed. Your Majesty has a salary."
Take it, the one with silver flowers is still a concubine!"
Shang Shixu raised his eyebrows and smiled, picked up the wooden comb on the table, and casually cut her hair.
Lin Jingmo stared at the loving couple in the mirror in fascination: "What do you want, sir?"
Shang Shixu paused while combing his hair, glanced at the beauty in his glasses, leaned close to Lin Jingmo's ear and asked softly: "Madam, does she know where Zilan is?"
"Zilan?" Lin Jingmo looked at a pair of egrets on the wooden comb, and remembered the sentence "Jian Jia is green, and white dew is frost." The love in the Book of Songs makes people feel ironic at this moment.
She tilted her head and pretended to think, "Who is Zi Lan?" She suddenly turned to look at Shang Shixu: "Is it that incompetent, extremely despicable brothel girl, or the one who pretended to be weak and ran into the room to seduce you?
My shameless cousin?"
After hearing this, Shang Shixu remained calm and looked at Lin Jingmo in the mirror calmly: "No matter who she is, you can't touch my woman!"
Hearing this, Lin Jingmo moved her face closer to him and snorted: "Your woman? No matter which one? It seems that these two are not the only wild women the Lord has raised outside?"
Shang Shixu looked at her and couldn't help but feel disgust in his heart, but still had a faint smile on his face: "Madam's wet nurse was driven out and died of starvation outside. Shuangyin, the maid who has been serving Madam since she was a child, heard that you gave
Is she married to a butcher?"
He put down the wooden comb and gently shook the hand that had just touched her hair: "These are your cronies, madam. They only offended you because of some trivial things, but you are not willing to let them go easily!"
Lin Jingmo looked at Shang Shixu with his back in the mirror with disdain, and took off the other earring unhurriedly: "My father is the official secretary! The eldest sister is the queen of the dynasty! I have never had anyone like this in my life.
Dare you reprimand me!"
Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo's arrogant look: "Madam, if you want wind and rain, why do you still have to deal with the weak?"
Lin Jingmo laughed but did not forget his etiquette. He brushed his face with his sleeves and said, "It's interesting! Seeing someone so weak and being trampled under my feet and kneeling down to beg for mercy makes me feel very happy!"
She flicked her long sleeves and looked at Shang Shixu: "Don't you want to know where Zi Lan is? You might as well ask me for help! I will tell you if I am happy!"
Shang Shixu's eyes became more and more gloomy, but his words sounded like a joke: "Madam is so vicious and has no womanly manners, aren't you afraid of divorcing you for her husband?"
Lin Jingmo laughed even more arrogantly when he heard this: "Dive me? Don't say that your Excellency is a top talent, even if you are the number one scholar, you still have to work as a clerk in the Hanlin Academy and as an attendant in the Imperial College for how many years! Your Excellency, now
Why do you think you were able to securely sit in the position of Minister of Household Affairs?"
Lin Jingmo's eyes darkened: "By literary talent? By family background? Or by a good-looking face? Isn't it just because I married a concubine? Isn't it because my father is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in charge of appointing officials? Divorce your wife
!Hehe..."
When Shang Shixu heard this, he did not get angry but smiled: "Yes, Lord Shangshu is indeed a big tree. But if his wife is too mean, the husband also has to consider his own reputation!"
Lin Jingmo refused to give in: "My lord's reputation has been ruined for a long time, but it's not because of my concubine. My lord colluded with King Chen, took advantage of his position, minted coins privately, and was guilty of conspiracy!"
There was a trace of surprise in Shang Shixu's eyes, but it was fleeting: "Nonsense!"
Lin Jingmo moved and slowly leaned down to get closer to Shang Shixu, but he instinctively turned his head with a little disgust.
Lin Jingmo disagreed: "My lord left the huge main courtyard to me, but I often go to the side courtyard. Guess what I found? I couldn't see my lord, but I found a hidden compartment in the study. There was actually a hidden compartment in the study.
Have an account book!"
Shang Shixu was shocked and turned to look at her coldly.
Seeing the usually unfazed Shang Shixu, Lin Jingmo smiled proudly, straightened up and sat on the other side, took a teacup from the bowl and put it on the table.
Shang Shixu's face gradually softened, and he filled the pot for her.
She raised her hand to pick up the teacup, took a generous sip, swallowed it gently and said, "I know that you have done more than one or two things to make money and kill people. Naturally, you won't be afraid of a housewife today." Shang Shixu returned to his usual calm and relaxed demeanor and sneered: "Madam, you might as well speak up if you have something to say."
Lin Jingmo couldn't help feeling a little chilled when she saw his smiling face: "Master, please don't look at me like this. I am timid. If I run to my father because I am too scared, I accidentally let it slip..."<
/p>
Shang Shixu said: "Madam, you don't have to be modest. Everything you do is not timid!"
Lin Jingmo curled his lips and put down the tea cup gently: "I am not a good man and a trustworthy woman, and I am not bad at all. I have a good skin, but the gold and jade on the outside are ruined!"
She glanced sideways at Shang Shixu, stood up and continued: "As the saying goes, a couple's love lasts for a hundred days. Unfortunately, we have been married for more than three years. We all stayed in Fireworks Willow Alley, and you and I didn't even sleep together for one night.
, there is no kindness left to speak of."
Shang Shixu looked at her slyly, curved the corners of his mouth slightly, put his arms around her soft waist, and said with a playful expression: "Are you blaming your husband for not being compassionate?"
Lin Jingmo put her hand on Shang Shixu's chest and gently pushed him away: "Sir, please don't misunderstand me. I don't care about pity, and I don't want to be a fragrant jade. What I value most is silver."
Shang Shixu saw that she did not accept this trick, so he put away his thoughts, straightened his robes, and sat down coldly: "In this case, I will order someone to send a hundred taels of silver to Madam."
"One hundred taels?!" Lin Jingmo raised his sleeves and covered his mouth with laughter: "During the Shang Dynasty, did you just think that you were sending away beggars? Who am I, Lin Jingmo? I would spend so much money with you just for a mere one hundred taels.
Lips and tongue?"
"How much does Madam want?"
"One thousand taels...gold!"
Lin Jingmo stopped smiling and sat back on the dressing table with an expressionless expression: "And...that little bitch named Zi Lan, I want her to die!" After saying that, he violently bent the gold finger that was causing her pain.
Ear acupuncture.
Shang Shixu looked at the earrings in her hand: "Doesn't Madam not care about her husband? Why do you want Zilan to die?"
Lin Jingmo gently wiped the lipstick on his mouth with a silk handkerchief: "Who knows? Even if I don't care, it is still my thing, and a lowly prostitute is worthy of getting involved!"
Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo in the mirror, his dark eyes filled with coldness: "Lin Jingmo, I have never loved you. If you kill Zi Lan, I will have another woman."
Lin Jingmo lowered his face and said to Shang Shixu in the mirror: "Shang Shixu, do you just think that I love you? I just want to see you lose the one you love."
Shang Shixu raised his hand to his forehead, pretending to compromise and said: "Okay, Madam, you can kill Zi Lan, but I don't have a thousand taels of gold for my husband."
Lin Jingmo continued to remove her makeup and said slowly: "After a while, it will be Queen Qianqiu. We are sisters and we have a deep love. When I entered the palace, I made a mistake and couldn't help but say something... Sir, do you think these words are worth it?"
One thousand taels?"
While listening, Shang Shixu stood up and walked behind Lin Jingmo.
Lin Jingmo saw through the mirror that his black pupils were full of cold light, and the corners of his curved mouth showed evil charm: "Lin Jingmo, you know so many of my secrets, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"Kill me?" Lin Jingmo stopped what he was doing and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
She turned back, looked up at her husband, and no longer called him "sir": "I'm dead, how can you climb up? Kill me, do you think you can escape unscathed? That ledger...don't you want to
Do you know where to put it?"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at himself in the mirror proudly: "If you can really bear it and kill me, I will admire you!"
Shang Shixu's body pressed against Lin Jingmo, and he put his hand against the dressing table. His hot breath blew against her ears. They had been married for three years, but this was the closest they had ever been...
Suddenly hatred flashed in Shang Shixu's eyes, he raised his hand to cover Lin Jingmo's mouth, picked up the golden phoenix hairpin he had just taken off the dressing table, and stabbed it hard into Lin Jingmo's temple above his temples.
He raised his eyes and said coldly: "Then Madam...just die!"
Lin Jingmo looked at Shang Shixu in the mirror with wide eyes and disbelief. This man with a gentle and jade-like appearance now had a fierce and cruel face.
Before she had time to resist, the golden hairpin had already penetrated deeply into her fatal point. Before she died, she recalled the scene when they first met.
"I would like to enter into a marriage agreement with you."
"Miss Lin and I only have a one-time relationship. It is really hasty to make this covenant."
"By marrying my concubine, Tan Hua Lang will not only be able to become the official minister, but also marry the queen. As far as you are concerned, there will be no harm in doing anything."
"Then what can I do for the girl?"
"I... I just want a decent husband."
"Okay! I will go to the Lin Mansion later to propose marriage. Madam, please wait for the good news."
Thinking back to this point, Lin Jingmo closed his eyes and shed a few tears. Is this... the ending for you and me...
