A guard in the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion raised his head and looked up at the sky. Under the bright blue sky and bright sun, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.
"What are you looking at?"
"I don't know." The man shrugged and shook his head: "Just now it seemed that I saw something passing by."
Another person also looked up at the sky, and a big bird just happened to emerge from the canopy of the tree, chirping straight into the sky.
"A bird, why are you so nervous?"
The voice gradually faded away, and Lin Chu's rickety body slowly straightened up from the treetop.
She squinted her eyes.
The war is about to begin, and everything in Qingyang City is in turmoil. Even a small guard is so sharp!
but……
It makes her unhappy, even the king of heaven, I can't even think of it easy!
Deep in the backyard of the city lord's palace, there is an elegant small courtyard. The courtyard does not occupy a large area, with only two rooms on the east and west, but a huge lotus pond was dug in a corner of the courtyard.
It is almost late spring, and the green leaves in the lotus pond are leaning towards the sky. A pair of cross-necked mandarin ducks are hiding in a corner of the green leaves, playing and whispering.
The window of the main room in the east is open, and a pretty woman in plain clothes lowers her pink neck and focuses on the embroidery of a mandarin duck playing in the water in her hand.
The embroidery of the pair of mandarin ducks is so lifelike that even the down texture is the same as that of the things in the pond.
Beside her, a middle-aged woman who looked like a manager had her hands in her sleeves and was talking to her with a serious face.
"Madam, those who know the current affairs are heroes. The general works hard every day, and when he returns home, he just wants a high bed and a soft pillow so that he and his wife can be harmonious. It is not good for you to stay like this with the general all day long."
Mrs. Suyi seemed not to have heard anything, and continued to concentrate on the work in hand.
The steward curled his lips, and there was arrogance in his eyes: "Do you think you are still young and young? There are countless beauties in our Qingyang City who are in love with the general. If you continue to be willful, you will be abandoned by the general.
.When that day comes, if you cry again, no one will feel sorry for you!"
The woman in plain clothes remained unmoved.
"I'll tell you the truth." There was arrogance on the steward's face: "I have a niece who is only twenty-eight years old. The general praised her a lot. If Madam was sensible, she would have gone back to the general early and brought my niece into the house.
I want to be your companion. Considering the friendship between our master and servant for many years, my niece is favored, and the benefits of my wife are indispensable, isn't it?"
The woman in plain clothes paused with her fingers for a moment and said nothing.
"Lu Yuqiu, don't be so shameless!"
The steward saw that the woman in plain clothes was not showing off, so he completely stopped smiling and said with a stern look on his face: "I would be very proud of you if I informed you. I tell you, the master and my niece have been inseparable for a long time. You
Whether she agrees or not, she has decided to be the second wife of the city lord’s palace!”
"hiss."
The woman in plain clothes pricked her finger with the tip of a needle, and the bright red blood stained Yuanyang's eyes, like a ball of red fire. It was bright and strange.
"One of them wants to marry and the other wants to marry. Why do you ask me?"
The woman in charge was stunned for a moment, and there was a stern look in her eyes: "Don't pretend to be confused because you know better. If you hadn't talked so sweetly when you married the general, and confused him into giving you half a tiger charm, how do you think the general could do anything to you these years?
Are you obedient?"
"If you don't hand over the tiger talisman today, you will stay in this yard for the rest of your life!"
The woman in plain clothes flashed her eyes slightly, looked sideways at the blood-stained embroidery and sighed: "A perfectly good mandarin duck playing in the water has been ruined by the addition of some dirty things!"
She picked up the scissors and cut the embroidery in half.
"You must skip the toast today, and you will have to drink as a penalty!"
The steward heard what she meant, and the respect in his eyes disappeared, turning into a fierce light.
