Su Xubai didn't speak, just staggered towards his yard.
When they returned to the yard, it was just dawn and Chengchun hadn't gotten up yet. As soon as Hongdou changed her clothes and stood up, she saw Su Xubai standing at the door. She hurriedly stepped forward: "Fifth Master, you are here now.
, I haven’t gotten up yet!”
Hearing Hongdou's name, Su Xubai frowned slightly, and then said: "If there is anything missing, let Isatis fetch it. Don't treat Ah Chun badly!"
Hongdou nodded, and then said: "Last night, the fifth master was not here, and my wife was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Today, I wanted to let my mother sleep a little longer, so I didn't wake her up!"
Su Xubai nodded, and when he was about to leave, he turned around and said to Hongdou: "This is the Marquis' Mansion, not a rural place. Many things must be done according to the rules of the house. The same goes for A Chun. Don't
It’s better to follow your own temperament!”
Hongdou was a little stunned. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open behind her. When she turned around, she saw Chengchun standing at the door with a look of astonishment on her face: "My dear!"
The stunned expression only stayed on Chengchun's face for a moment. The next moment, she hid her surprise, leaving only a faint smile: "Fifth Master, why do you get up so early?"
"I haven't been back for a long time. I'm not used to sleeping. I heard you didn't have candles here, so I came to take a look!" Su Xubai turned to look at Cheng Chun.
In the past, Su Xubai would have mostly stepped forward to touch her face, but today, he stood very far away. Overnight, it seemed as if there was a Milky Way between them.
Chengchun felt sad, but still smiled and said: "Yesterday Isatis sent candles over, Master Wu took the trouble!"
Su Xubai nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave silently.
Chengchun looked at Su Xubai's leaving figure, and there was a moment of sadness in his eyes. Hongdou looked distressed and walked forward: "My dear, Fifth Master, he..."
"This is the Hou Mansion, we have to abide by the rules, and the fifth master also has to abide by the rules!" Chengchun patted Hongdou's hand, "Go get some water, let's wash up, I don't know if we will be called later.
Come and stand and behave!"
Most of the concubines of wealthy families have to behave themselves, and usually have to serve the mistress for morning meals. Now, Su Xubai is not married yet, so she has no mistress to serve for the time being, but it is precisely because Su Xubai still has
Not married yet, as the only concubine, she was going to pay her respects to Mrs. Su!
These things were also told to them by the nanny who brought them here the first day!
So on this day, although she didn't sleep much the night before, she still got up early because she was afraid that she would be late and that she would be scolded. She was afraid that she would be taught a lesson. She was a concubine and a stranger.
Even if he died in this mansion, no one might know.
Cheng Chun, who was sitting in front of the mirror dressing up, looked at himself in the mirror and remembered that he came to see his married family before boarding the ship, and felt very sad.
In fact, from the day she got married, Chengchun was prepared to be despised and humiliated. However, during that time they were in Jiangnan, she was the only one in the mansion, and Su Xubai loved her dearly, so life was naturally easier, and
Now, when she arrives in the capital, she has to behave with her tail between her legs.
It's just that Chengchun can think about it, but Hongdou can't. While combing Chengchun's hair, she muttered: "It's just the first day here, and I have to get up so hard to say hello. If I stay here forever, I can still have a good life."
Pass?"
Chengchun just listened and didn't say anything.
"The fifth master is the same. He didn't stay in my wife's room on the first day he came back. The people in the house must despise my wife even more!" Hong Dou's brows were frowned so hard that they almost killed mosquitoes. "I didn't see him say a word to help my wife.
The words are really..."
"Mrs. Su is the fifth master's mother, so it's natural for the fifth master to disobey her! What's more, because of me, the fifth master took a concubine before he married, which is the last thing he should do. It's right for Mrs. Su to hold a grudge against me for this!"
Chengchun lowered his eyes and said, "Because of my appearance, Master Wu's reputation may be damaged, and what he says may not be good!"
Hongdou looked at Chengchun in the mirror for a long time, and finally said: "Madam, don't you blame the Fifth Master? Others don't know why the Fifth Master married you. Has the Fifth Master himself forgotten it?"
Cheng Chun paused, then smiled and said: "Maybe the Fifth Master feels that marrying me is already the biggest apology! After all, I was born a commoner, and being a concubine is already a high level for them!"
Hongdou looked at the coldness in Chengchun's eyes and felt distressed: "Madam, don't say that!"
"It's okay, I can see it!" Chengchun held Hongdou's hand, "Let's go, let's go and say hello!"
Although she was reluctant, Hongdou still accompanied Chengchun to Mrs. Su's yard.
When they arrived at Mrs. Su's yard, there was already a person standing in the yard. She was the wife of the eldest son of the Su family, surnamed Sun. On weekdays, everyone called her Mrs. Prince, but in private, they would call her Mrs. Sun.
When Chengchun saw her, he quickly saluted: "Mrs. Prince..."
"It doesn't have to be like this!" Mrs. Sun supported Cheng Chun.
Cheng Chun then raised his head and looked at Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun had an elegant and decent appearance, with curved eyebrows. Although she was not the kind of beauty that could shock people at a glance, she was also a gentle and virtuous person.
When Cheng Chun was looking at Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Sun was also looking at her, her eyes full of experience: "When I saw you yesterday, you kept your head down, and I couldn't take a closer look at you. Today I took a closer look.
, and suddenly understood why my brother, who is not a womanizer, actually took a concubine outside!"
"Mrs. Crown Prince is joking, I'm just a vulgar village woman. The fifth master asked me to be his concubine just to pity me and save my life!" Cheng Chun lowered his head and said cautiously.
Su Xubai naturally told his family the reason why he took concubines, and it was precisely because of this that although Mrs. Su was very angry because of this incident, she felt a little more pity for Cheng Chun, even though she hated her.
Su Xubai's reputation was stained, but her kindness in saving Su Xubai was still remembered in her heart.
Otherwise, with Mrs. Su's temperament, it would be impossible for Cheng Chun to enter the Su family.
"My mother-in-law is a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person. She cares about face in her life. The fifth brother's taking a concubine secretly made her lose face in front of the ladies of the capital. It is inevitable that she will be angry. You should be obedient on weekdays and live a better life.
, she doesn’t care about it!” Mrs. Sun said with a smile, “As for this greeting, it’s better to come earlier on weekdays to avoid being talked about by those villains!”
When Mrs. Sun said the word "please greetings", a hint of exhaustion flashed in her eyes.
