The general is easy to bully

The disappearance of a concubine was originally a big event.

But she was in a hurry when the punishment department set fire to kill people, and the emperor had no time to control her.

At first there were rumors that Concubine Shu died in the fire, and someone secretly dropped her bag and replaced someone.

Later, for some reason, the post-mortem investigator suddenly reported that he was sick and had returned to his hometown, and the news was suppressed.

In the end, people all over the palace were spreading rumors that Concubine Shu and a guard got married and ran away secretly.

It was rumored that there were noses and eyes, and there were palace maids who said that they saw Concubine Shu and a man having a private meeting behind the rockery in the imperial garden, and their clothes were disheveled.

Emperor Longyan was furious.

It was announced to the public that Concubine Shu died suddenly due to illness, and those who discussed Concubine Shu in the palace would be killed immediately.

In the northwest suburb of the capital, there is an elegant courtyard called Sijizhai.

This is the other courtyard that Ning Yuanhou Xiao Qihan bought last year.

Few people pass by on weekdays, so the scenery is beautiful and peaceful, but it is a little bit crowded in the morning and night.

Uncle Qi, the steward of the Hou Mansion, is over [-] this year. As he gets older, his legs always hurt badly when the cold air invades them.

His eldest son, Qi Yu, pinched his legs for him and frowned, "Master Hou is really, you are already old, why did you fall into this other courtyard..."

Qi Guanshi sighed: "Okay, we are slaves, how can we talk about the master's affairs behind his back, besides, Hou Ye transferred me here, that is to reuse me."

Qi Yu couldn't help being angry, "Hmph, I asked someone to repair this garden before I went to the expedition. Lord Hou has always been frugal, how much snow and silver did he spend to repair this garden?! The quilts that were sent last time were all made of gold silk inlaid with goose feathers. It's done! What a luxury?"

As he talked, he seemed to be getting more angry.

"It's fine if it's for the wife, but Lord Hou is just for a man!" Qi Yu gritted his teeth: "Stimulate the teachers and mobilize the crowd, and even transfer you from the Hou's mansion. How much do you value a man? where?"

Qi Guanshi didn't speak, just sighed one after another.

After a while, Qi Yu asked with a suppressed voice, "Father, what is the identity of that man?"

"Don't inquire about the master's affairs." Qi Butler put down his legs and got up, "Go and see if the medicine from Dongyaotang has been delivered today? If it is delivered, tell the small kitchen to cook it immediately."

Butler Qi ordered: "Also, Master Hou said, the young master is afraid of suffering, so you grind the tangerines into juice, add honey to it, and the young master will eat it later when he drinks medicine."

Qi Yu cut and left: "There are more things than girls."

Shen Xingfeng has been kept in this yard for a whole month.

He opened his eyes that day, and when he woke up, he saw Xiao Qihan sitting by the bed, looking straight at him.

"Heal your injuries well, don't worry about anything else."

Xiao Qihan left such a sentence and left.

Shen Xingfeng recovered quickly and grew up in this yard, and every day, the food and drink he liked when he was young was delivered to him.

The skinny body has finally grown a few taels of flesh under the care of Hao Sheng.

There are not many servants here.

The two who cook in the kitchen, the two who clean the house, the two maids who serve closely, and then there are Guanshi Qi and his son.

They never had much contact with Shen Xingfeng. Although there was no shortage of food and drink, Shen Xingfeng still read a bit of disdain and contempt from their eyes.

To them, they are just Xiao Qihan's spoiled pet outside.

Because he is a man, he is not even considered a concubine.

Xiao Qihan has just been married for a month. As a slut who destroys the love between husband and wife, what kind of respect can he get?

Whenever Shen Xingfeng thought of it, he just sneered.

However, his martial arts are useless, and he can't escape at all, otherwise he definitely won't stay here.

The girl Chunyi walked in with the medicine, and put it in front of Shen Xingfeng expressionlessly.

"Young master, it's time to take medicine."

That fishy, ​​bitter and sour potion was pitch-black, making one's tongue bitter just looking at it.

Shen Xingfeng frowned, "Is there citrus syrup?"

Chun Yi's expression was indifferent: "There are few citrus in this season. The mansion did buy a batch earlier, but no matter how you say it, you have to send it to the Hou's mansion to give the wife a taste. You can't go beyond the rules, young master, do you think it's better?" ?”

Shen Xingfeng bit his lower lip lightly, his eyes turned crimson from the humiliation.

He stopped talking, picked up the medicine bowl, raised his head and poured it directly.

The taste of the medicine was so strong that Shen Xingfeng was afraid of suffering since he was a child, and he couldn't swallow it for a long time. Holding the table, he couldn't hold back, and vomited cleanly with a "wow".

Chunyi let out an "Ouch", and immediately jumped away in disgust.

Another girl, Qiu Si, heard the sound and ran in. Seeing this scene, she frowned, stepped forward and patted Shen Xingfeng on the back: "My lord, are you alright?"

Shen Xingfeng never liked to cause trouble for others, especially when he was living under the fence. He said weakly, "I'm sorry, I'll clean it up right away."

Qiu Si stopped him: "How can you let the young master do this kind of rough work, the young master has a bad face, why don't you go to the inner room and rest."

Shen Xingfeng raised his head and glanced at Chunyi, seeing her eyes full of disgust, he nodded and went into the inner room.

Qiu Si calls out the meaning of spring: "Come here and tidy up, and let the small kitchen cook a new bowl later."

She looked at Chunyi with some dissatisfaction: "You too, didn't the Marquis obviously sent oranges yesterday? Why didn't you give them to him..."

Chunyi was not happy: "The citrus was bought for Madam, it is sweet and sour, and it is to bless Madam to give birth to a small child soon, so what is it for him to eat? It is really a waste of those good things."

Qiu Si sighed: "Anyway, for the sake of Master Hou, don't embarrass him too much."

Chun Yi said angrily: "Qiu Si, you are so strange, we are girls next to Madam, why do you turn your elbows outside? If you want me to say, Master Hou did not do this right. How long have you been married? Just outside Raising prostitutes, if Madam finds out, how sad it will be."

Chunyi's voice became louder, "I heard that Shen Xingfeng is some sort of general's son, bah, a seductive bastard, not worthy of carrying shoes for our wife."

Qiu Si sighed again: "It's better not to let Madam know about this."

"If you want me to say, it's better to let Madam know that this Shen Xingfeng usually looks icy and high-spirited. I would like to see how many faces he puts on such a posture when he stands in front of Madam."

inner room.

Shen Xingfeng lay on his side on the bed, curling himself into a ball.

The voices of Chunyi and Qiusi from outside came in little by little, like sharp and dense knives, cutting one after another in his heart.

After an unknown amount of time, he fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up, it was suddenly dark outside.

Shen Xingfeng put on his clothes and went out. Standing at the door, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

Chun Yi held the dinner and smiled coldly: "Are you waiting for Master Hou?"

Shen Xingfeng frowned.

"You don't have to wait any longer!" Chunyi said with a grin, "Today is the festival of missing fate, a day to spend time with the one you love. Our Lord Hou feels sorry for his wife's homesickness, so he took her back to her mother's house specially, and will not come tonight. "

Chunyi is young, but her words are extremely sharp. Seeing that Shen Xingfeng's face is getting paler and his smile is getting deeper: "Do you understand? A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine. In front of the wife, the wife, you will always be inferior. Not worthy, not to mention you haven't even earned a concubine!"

Shen Xingfeng looked calm, glanced at the exquisite dinner in Chunyi's hands, and said hoarsely: "From tomorrow on, I'll wash the clothes in the yard, and I can help with other things as well."

Chun Yi was stunned: "What?"

"I think Tangtang is just getting a bite of food."

Shen Xingfeng turned his head back to the room, blocking Chunyi from the door.
