"Master Hou... Master Hou, are you there?" Xiaozhu looked outside the wall and shouted in a low voice.
Zhang Yanling showed up overjoyed, which startled Xiaozhu.
"I am here."
"Hurry... hurry... I'm scared to death." Xiaozhu threw down the rope, and Zhang Yanling climbed up to the top of the wall with the knotted rope. The top of the wall had been covered with wooden boards to block the spikes. It seemed that Xiaozhu
It was prepared in advance. There was a wooden ladder on the inside, and Xiaozhu stepped on that ladder to climb up the wall.
Zhang Yanling went down the wooden ladder, and after a while he was in the back garden of Tan's house. Under his feet was a large field of medicinal grass with a medicinal fragrance. There were not many flowers and trees in the back of Tan's house, and herbs were planted in large areas.
So the medicinal fragrance is fragrant.
"Thank you Xiaozhu, I thought you didn't listen to me."
"Stop talking, I will be killed by you sooner or later. If the old lady finds out, I will be beaten to death. You go see the young lady quickly, it is already the third watch, and the old lady will get up and prepare to worship Buddha at the fourth watch.
The servants are getting up one after another. You should see the lady quickly and then leave." Xiaozhu lowered his voice.
Zhang Yanling agreed in a low voice and followed Xiaozhu to the back house. His heart was filled with the excitement of stealing jade and fragrance. He did not expect that he would do this kind of thing of climbing over the wall.
"Miss, I'll be waiting for you in the house. Mr. Hou, please go and I'll keep the wind for you." Xiaozhu said, pointing to the house to the west.
Zhang Yanling was stunned and said: "Ruqing knows I'm coming?"
Xiaozhu snorted coldly: "Of course I have to report to the lady, otherwise I will betray the lady again. Mr. Hou, please go quickly. In the east wing of the west courtyard, don't disturb other people."
Zhang Yanling walked away quickly, passed through the dancing flowers, trees and moonlight, and came to the door of the west courtyard. He reached out and pushed, and the door opened. There were no lights in the room, but the long window was open, and the moonlight was shining in the room. Zhang Yanling saw a
The figure was standing up from the desk.
"Is it Ruqing?" Zhang Yanling asked.
Tan Ruqing snorted in a trembling voice. Zhang Yanling was excited and walked forward quickly. Tan Ruqing's beautiful face under the moonlight appeared in front of her. Before Tan Ruqing could say anything, Zhang Yanling took it.
Holding her in his arms, he bent down and kissed Tan Ruqing's lips.
Tan Ruqing's whole body was stiff, and she was about to faint. During her interaction with Zhang Yanling, although she had expressed her feelings, she actually didn't even hold hands. At this moment, she was kissed blatantly by Zhang Yanling, and she felt flustered and shy. But
, when he allowed Xiaozhu to invite Zhang Yanling to a private meeting tonight, he had actually let himself go. Tan Ruqing never expected that she would do such a thing, and actually allow Zhang Yanling to climb over the wall and break into the house in the middle of the night.
Private meeting.
Finally, Zhang Yanling left Tan Ruqing's lips. Tan Ruqing leaned on the table and lowered his head to breathe, too embarrassed to raise his head.
"Ruqing, forgive me for being abrupt, I really miss you so much." Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
"You... a scumbag..." Tan Ruqing said softly.
Zhang Yanling said in a low voice: "I'm not forced. If your grandmother hadn't stopped me, why would you and I be so sneaky? I don't want to do such sneaky things. I'm a dignified Marquis of Jianchang, but I have to do such a thing. It's not too much.
miss you."
Tan Ruqing chuckled and said: "It seems that you are aggrieved. Aren't I even more aggrieved? I am an innocent woman, and you, a prostitute, broke in at night and spread the word. How would I behave? If it weren't for... if it wasn't for... lovesickness.
Even if you suffer, I will not allow you to do this."
Zhang Yanling reached out and took her hand and said softly: "I'm sorry for you."
Tan Ruqing whispered: "I have wronged the Marquis."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "It's good now, I can come to see you more often in the future."
Tan Ruqing shook his head and said: "Master Hou, this kind of thing will never happen again. This time it has gone beyond the norm. I, Tan Ruqing, are from an innocent family, and my Tan family is also from an innocent family. We cannot be like this. Our affairs must be fair and aboveboard.
, upright, but not so sneaky. Could it be that in the heart of the Marquis, I am not as good as Axiu?"
Zhang Yanling's heated head quickly cooled down and she remained silent.
Tan Ruqing took the initiative to step forward, leaned on Zhang Yanling's chest and looked up at him and said: "Master Hou is angry? I have no other meaning, and I don't blame you for marrying Axiu. I mean, since Master Hou loves me
, just respect Ruqing. You can't do this kind of thing in the future. What I want is to love each other openly and openly, not secretly having sex. Do you understand?"
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "You're right. I'm really sorry. I was impulsive. This is disrespectful to you. Just listen to you and be upright. I will find a way to make your grandmother change her impression of me.
.Besides, do you really not care about Axiu’s matter?”
Tan Ruqing smiled and said: "I care, but it's useless for me to care? Don't you understand the gift I gave you? You men have three wives and four concubines, and we women can only live together. There is nothing we can do about it.
. But I don’t complain about this kind of thing. I just hope that you can treat me sincerely. I don’t ask for other things. My grandfather had three side rooms besides my grandmother. My grandmother made noises with him every day, but that
So what? Hasn’t it been a lifetime? Their relationship is also very good. My father also married several aunts. Do I ask your Lord Marquis to marry only me? Ruqing is not arrogant enough yet, so
I won’t bother myself with these things.”
Zhang Yanling was moved and had an indescribable complex feeling in her heart. On the one hand, she felt that Tan Ruqing was sensible; on the other hand, she felt that women these days were really pitiful and had to accept this fate. At the same time, she felt that the patriarchal society was shameless
and hypocrisy, but when it comes to myself, I feel that Tan Ruqing understands the righteousness deeply. In short, maybe for the men and women who grew up in this era, everything is justified, but for Zhang Yanling, there is a kind of double standard of shame and
Guilt.
Seeing that Zhang Yanling was silent, Tan Ruqing said softly: "Don't think too much, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I am very happy that you can come and meet me tonight on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. There is still moon at this moment
Se, come and enjoy the moon with me. I have prepared some drinks and will have a couple of drinks with you."
Tan Ruqing took Zhang Yanling to sit down by the window and poured wine for Zhang Yanling. The two drank against the setting moon. Zhang Yanling whispered some things about her stay, things in the manor and the fight for land with the Zhou family.
Listen to Tan Ruqing. Tan Ruqing smiled and said nothing, only listened quietly, but her eyes were tender and affectionate, full of affection, and she didn't seem to care about what Zhang Yanling said.
After a few glasses of wine, Zhang Yanling couldn't help but hold Tan Ruqing in her arms and kiss her again. This time, Tan Ruqing took it easy, actively cooperated, and was extremely gentle and flattering. During the sweet kiss, Zhang Yanling's hands also
Tan Ruqing began to touch Tan Ruqing's body irregularly. Tan Ruqing tasted the taste of love for the first time, and was too confused and unable to refuse, allowing Zhang Yanling to caress her frivolously.
When the commotion was going on and it seemed like something was going to happen, I suddenly heard Xiaozhu shouting in a low voice from outside: "It's getting late, it's almost the fourth watch. It's time for the Marquis to leave. There is already some movement on the old lady's side.
"
Zhang Yanling and Tan Ruqing were startled and separated in a hurry. Looking at Tan Ruqing again, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were spread out, her chest tube top was torn off, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, her clothes were messy, and she was panting.
"Ruqing..."
"You... go away quickly, let grandma know, it will be a big deal." Tan Ruqing said with a red face, lowered her head and straightened her clothes.
Zhang Yanling nodded, stepped forward, hugged Tan Ruqing and whispered in her ear: "I'm going. Please take care of yourself. I swear, your grandmother will agree that Ming Media is marrying you."
Tan Ruqing pushed him away and said, "Go quickly. Be careful."
Zhang Yanling turned around and left. Tan Ruqing pulled up her clothes and sat down slowly. Her whole body felt limp and weak, as if she was seriously ill.
