Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty-Three : People Who Are Out of Low Taste
Xu Qian was speechless for a moment. He really didn't want to hang out with Miss Lu any longer. If he continued talking, he was afraid he would go crazy.
He quickly said: "Well... I have to go. Your father and brothers will definitely be anxious if they don't find me. Well, we will meet again later." After that, he turned around and prepared to escape.
But before Xu Qian could take the first step, he was caught by Miss Lu. Miss Lu said angrily: "Why are you running? You are dodging. I asked you a question and you didn't answer it."
The pink-scented catkins grasped Xu Qian's hand tightly. Xu Qian looked at her delicate body, especially her chest. The chest was rising and falling like a mountain, almost touching Xu Qian's arm. Xu Qian took a deep breath and felt in his heart.
Say, don't react, don't react. If the secret is exposed, it will not only hurt her self-confidence, but also tease her.
It's just that he was a bit unsatisfied after all. He was quite sensible outside before, but in this Xiang Pavilion, alone and alone, Xu Qian found that he couldn't control himself. He hurriedly said: "Then what do you want?"
Miss Lu said: "How about we talk more with you?"
Xu Qian said sternly: "Miss Lu's kindness, I naturally dare not refuse, but I have something important to attend to now, so I'll take my leave now. I'll definitely pay you a visit next time. Goodbye."
Miss Lu said with a smile: "Well, in that case, then I'll wait for you to come and play with me. That's right, since you want to leave, why don't you take these powder and rouge with you? This is what I gave you. You don't want it."
polite."
Xu Qian had no choice but to obediently carry a large box of rouge and ran away in despair.
He couldn't find a place, but Xu Qian really didn't dare to stay here anymore, so he found a maid and asked her to lead him out of the house. He told the maid: "I will tell the Marquis later that Xu is too drunk."
, I'll take my leave now. I'll come and visit you next time." But I was thinking in my heart, I would be a fool if I came again in the future.
He came here in the Lu family's car, and his sedan chair had already been sent back, so a strange scene happened on the street. A guy wearing a sixth-grade official uniform and an official robe actually walked on the street to stop the car.
After finally stopping a donkey cart, the driver stopped in fear and cautiously asked Xu Qian: "Sir, is this..."
Xu Qian was afraid that he would run away, so he got into the car first. Then he said, "I'll hire your car and take me for a ride. I'll give you money when I get to my house."
Seeing that Xu Qian was not scary, the coachman calmed down. After asking about Xu Qian's residence, he drove the coach and asked boldly: "Why don't you prepare a sedan when you are traveling? Which yamen do you belong to?"
Xu Qian said: "It happened for a reason, so I didn't prepare a sedan chair. I'm from the Hanlin Academy."
The coachman couldn't help but asked: "Do you recognize Xu Shidu?"
Xu Qian wanted to say that I was the one, but when he thought about it, it was better to be more cautious about showing up, so he said: "I recognize it. What, how about this Xu Shidu?"
The coachman hurriedly said: "Xu Shidu is a good official. Do you know that he killed the officials of Shuntian Mansion? Who in the capital does not applaud and applaud? They all say that the sky is blue. There were so many blue skies in the Ming Dynasty, but there were not many blue skies.
Those who are really willing to kill officials, on the other hand, this Shidu Xu is very vigorous and resolute, and his purpose is to eliminate harm for the people."
The coachman said a few words proudly. It suddenly occurred to him that Xu Qian was also an official, and it seemed a bit inappropriate to say this in front of Xu Qian, so he laughed and said nothing.
Xu Qian was enjoying himself while sitting in the car. When he returned home, he was about to ask the concierge to give the money to hire the car to the coachman. The coachman saw the Xu Mansion's sign and couldn't help but said: "Could your Excellency be Xu Shidu? I'm sorry, I'm disrespectful."
, I don’t need the money for this car. It’s a blessing for me to be able to give Mr. Xu a ride.”
Xu Qian came here wanting to give him ten yuan for taxi fare. Hearing this, he couldn't help but blush. He couldn't help it. Everyone knew his identity. When the time came, he said he would only give ten yuan for a taxi. What would happen if word got out? So,
I borrowed a small piece of silver from the porter and gave it to the coachman with all my might, saying, "Take it, it's not easy for everyone, how can I bear to ask for your money."
The driver was helpless, so he finally accepted it and said with gratitude: "Your Majesty, you will be a prince forever." Then he drove away.
It's just that Xu Qian suddenly felt that he was at a loss. Damn it, in this capital, everyone who takes one or two taels of silver to take a taxi is probably a pig. It seems that it is difficult to be a good official, and it is also difficult to be a good person.
While sighing, his heart was bleeding, and he found that he was still holding a box of rouge in his hand. He couldn't bring it in, so he handed it to the concierge and let him handle it.
Back in her bedroom, Gui Zhi'er was doing rouge. As soon as Xu Qian came in, she was about to get up and pour tea for Xu Qian with a smile. Suddenly she frowned and said: "Mr., why do you smell of rouge?"
?”
Xu Qian was suddenly stunned, and then he thought that he had been with Miss Lu for so long, and the smell of rouge on her body must be on him. Fortunately, Xu Shidu could handle everything, and said calmly and calmly: "Oh? You mean rouge?
Gouache? Hey... I really didn’t hide anything from you. Since you saw through it, I had no choice but to tell you honestly. In fact, my husband bought you some rouge and gouache to give you a surprise, but you unexpectedly discovered it.
, you wait, I'm going to get the gouache."
He rushed to the concierge anxiously and said to the concierge: "Where is the gouache? Where is the gouache?"
The porter originally thought that the young master had given the gouache to him, and he was happily thinking about giving it to his wife. Who knew that his left hand had given it to him, and his right hand came to ask for it again. He quickly stammered: "Sir... Your Excellency..."
Xu Qian said: "Didn't I leave a box of gouache here? Bring it quickly, this is for Madam."
The concierge obediently returned the gouache to Xu Qian. At the end, Xu Qian returned the piece of silver he had just brought to the concierge, and then hurried back to his bedroom, and delivered the rouge to Gui Zhier like a treasure, smiling.
Hehe said: "I thought it was pretty good for my husband, so I bought some. Madam, I'll give it a try."
Gui Zhier opened it, took a smell, and found that the gouache was the same as the one on Xu Qian's body. She thought he had some gouache on his body when he was choosing gouache, so he had no doubts and said happily: "Well, okay, sir."
I'm busy with everything outside, but you still remember me."
Xu Qian couldn't help but feel guilty, but he still said proudly: "What is this? Only those who care about their wives can care about the world. Look at those people who claim to care about the country and the people. In all likelihood, they can't even tolerate their own relatives. Such
How can people talk about caring about the country and the people? It's just rhetoric, but being a husband is different. Have you heard the comments outside? Everyone says that your husband is a great man."
After bragging about himself, Xu Qian suddenly thought of something. There was a lot of gossip outside. I wonder what Gui Zhier heard. He couldn't help but test it: "My dear wife, have you heard any comments recently?"
Gui Zhi'er was playing with Rouge. After hearing Xu Qian's words, she slowed down a bit and said slowly: "What's the discussion?"
Xu Qian sighed and said: "Some people slander me as a husband, saying that I am a husband... that..."
It would be a lie to say that there was no news, but Gui Zhier kept it in her stomach, so it was difficult to say anything. Now Xu Qian took the initiative to remind Gui Zhier that it was time for her to speak. She was silent for a while,
Said: "I have heard some..."
Xu Qian immediately said: "I am wronged for my husband."
Gui Zhinger smiled and said: "Hey... Marry a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog. What can my husband do outside? What can I do? Whether it is unfair or not is a different matter. There is nothing in this world that is groundless. My husband, please behave in your future words and deeds.
, be careful."
What he said clearly meant that he didn't believe him.
Xu Qian said quickly: "Actually, a husband has his own difficulties, hey... I'd better not say it. It's fine if others don't believe me, but I didn't expect that even Zhi'er wouldn't believe me."
His words were like bait, and he was clearly trying to lure Gui Zhi'er to the bait. Gui Zhi'er became serious and said: "What are your difficulties, but it doesn't matter. You and I share weal and woe, is there anything else that should not be mentioned?"
?”
Xu Qian said: "Actually, I deliberately spread the rumors outside. The reason why my words and actions cause people to misunderstand is because I did it on purpose."
The most important thing about a relationship between husband and wife is that you must not be frank about everything. Appropriate deception is very necessary, especially for women. The more you talk about reality with her, the more disputes will arise in the end. Xu Qian started to deceive. In his words, it is called
Well-intentioned deception.
Gui Zhier frowned, looking a little disbelieving, and said, "Does it mean that my husband wants to commit suicide? If so, what good will this do to my husband?"
Xu Qian sighed and said: "Do you still remember that when the imperial edict came down from the palace, my husband flatly rejected it? Later, I married you and became a marriage between you and me? In fact, there is nothing wrong with the young lady of the Lu family, but I have nothing wrong with her.
My husband refused to let me get married to her. But later, when I learned that Miss Lu was rejected for marriage, I was extremely sad. Coupled with all the nonsense in the capital,
After hearing what she said about Miss Lu, Miss Lu actually wanted to commit suicide. I heard someone from the Lu family said that one time in the middle of the night, I saw Miss Lu wandering by the lake, which almost scared me to death."
Gui Zhier's face couldn't help but become solemn, and said: "What happened next?"
Xu Qian said solemnly: "Afterwards, I thought about it for my husband. If it was because I refused the marriage that Miss Lu couldn't stand other people's comments and looks, she really wanted to lose her beauty. This would be a big sin. After thinking about it,
, then I came up with a way, deliberately spread the news, and told outsiders that it was not Miss Lu's unruly behavior, nor was it her fault, it was actually her husband's own fault, because he had some special habits.
That’s why I rejected this marriage. Think about it, if this news gets out, how can others laugh at Miss Lu? I can only say that the palace misjudged the wrong person and almost delayed her. As for me, I
It doesn't matter, I already have a wife, and you and I will stay together for the rest of our lives. It doesn't matter what others say or think, right? Hey... Who knew that this rumor would spread more and more widely, but it was just what the husband expected.
Besides, my husband doesn’t want to talk about these things. If a man has grievances, he can just keep them in his stomach. It doesn’t sound like words when he says them, but it sounds like he is resenting a woman. What’s the meaning..."
