Chapter 155 Outer Room
Chapter 155 Outer Room
Although most of the azaleas in Muchun Pavilion had already faded, Song Xiaoyuan still found some that were still in full bloom. He handed a bunch of bouquets to the maid and said, "Put it in the room. She will like it."
"Yes, son."
The sky was completely bright and the sun was shining across the woods. Song Xiaoyuan left Huanyun Pavilion without staying for too long. When he got on the carriage, he embraced a woman who was dressed almost identically to Shen Yining. After a while, the two reluctantly got on the carriage and left.
Ah Wu drove very slowly along the way, as if he was afraid of disturbing the two people in the car. It was not until lunch time that the carriage slowly arrived at Ran'anju in the city.
Song Xiaoyuan went down first, reached out to help the woman down, his gentle face full of pampering and love, and the two of them walked into the house hand in hand at the door like every newlywed couple.
However, the maids and servants in the house all called the woman "Young Madam", including Awu, who also respectfully and politely addressed her as "Young Madam".
After entering the garden, Ran Anju and his partner went straight to the master bedroom to rest. They looked affectionate and loving. The woman gently and virtuously helped Song Xiaoyuan change his clothes. Her voice was soft and shy: "My husband, you have worked hard on the journey!"
"Thank you for your care, ma'am."
The two of them got on the bed together, and the maid lowered her head to drop the curtain, and she no longer knew what happened on the bed.
Xingyue was awakened from her sleep in the evening because of hunger. She got up with her hand on her rumbling stomach. It was her first time here and she didn't know where the kitchen was. In the past, she would go to the kitchen when she was hungry in the mansion. Cook Kang liked to make some snacks for the little girls.
Fortunately, Xingyue was a lively and enthusiastic person. After a while, she became familiar with the maids and servants who were passing by. Following the instructions, she came to the kitchen of Huanyun Pavilion and greeted them at the door awkwardly: "Hello~ I am Xingyue, the maid who came with the young master and the young lady today."
"Oh! You are the young lady's personal maid, right? But what do you want when the young lady wakes up?"
Xingyue touched her belly and spoke embarrassedly: "Haha, yes, it's me. It's not the young lady's order, it's me..." Her stomach growled and everyone heard it.
"I'm hungry. Haha. I'm hungry and want to find something to eat."
The maids in the kitchen covered their mouths and laughed. The cook wiped her hands and came out with a smile: "Oh, I prepared it long ago and waited for you to wake up and eat it. You are not hungry now after traveling all night. Come on, eat this first, you won't starve."
The cook enthusiastically brought over a plate of golden sweet corn pancakes. Xingyue took it with shining eyes and couldn't help but say, "It looks delicious!!"
"It's delicious, eat more, there's more."
Xingyue ate who knows how many corn cakes to eat and raised her head in satisfaction: "I wonder if the young lady has woken up."
The room was filled with the faint fragrance of azaleas. Shen Yining couldn't help dreaming of the first time he came here. He was so free and happy wandering in the azalea forest. He couldn't help but relax and smile even in his sleep.
I slept peacefully until I woke up early this morning. When I opened my eyes, I saw a large bunch of rhododendrons in full bloom on the bedroom table. I got up and walked into the room. The fragrance was just as fragrant as in my dream.
"Miss, you're awake." As soon as Xingyue entered the room, she saw her young lady sitting alone at the table, looking at Dujuan on the table with love.
Shen Yining looked over and smiled, "Well, didn't they say the azaleas are in bloom?"
Xingyue and the maidservant helped Shen Yining wash and comb her hair. The little maidservant was busy with her work and replied, "The young master picked it and said that the young lady would like it."
Shen Yining turned to look at the blooming azalea and smiled: "Yeah, I like it."
"The Master also told me to tell you that he is not here these days, so Madam, there is no need to look for him."
"Hmm? Where did Xiao Yuan go?"
"This slave doesn't know."
"Then can he say when he will be back?"
"Replying to Madam, I haven't said anything yet."
Song Xiaoyuan had just woken up at this moment. Without his official position, he felt much more relaxed. Upon hearing the sound, the woman came into the room and helped him wash up.
Afterwards, they left the house without taking a carriage. Instead, they held hands on the street and showed great affection like an ordinary couple. They ate at a restaurant and watched opera, showing their affection to each other.
"Husband, use more black chicken and ginseng soup, it will heal your injury."
Song Xiaoyuan glanced around with cold eyes, then took the bowl of soup handed to him by the woman and sipped it gently: "Thank you for your concern, Madam."
They served each other dishes as if they wanted to share all the delicious food with each other. When paying, the waiter praised sweetly: "Hehe, the young master and the young lady are really a perfect match! A perfect match."
Song Xiaoyuan glanced sideways and raised his eyes and smiled: "Of course... they are a perfect match. I'll give you more as a reward." After saying that, he placed a silver ingot on the table, raised his hand to hold the woman's waist and walked out of the restaurant.
The waiter happily took the ingot of silver, thinking that he might get a lot of reward for his words, and left with a respectful look.
Ah Wu followed and glanced at the waiter as he passed by: "What kind of look is that? Give me some money to cure your blindness!"
"Sir, you..." Are you envious? The waiter didn't say the rest of the words. After all, who would offend a guest? He happily put the silver in his pocket and continued to work.
Song Xiaoyuan gently accompanied the woman shopping all the way, with his long sleeves in white clothes around the woman's waist, and they looked very affectionate and loving.
Behind him, Awu was covered with bags of all sizes, but he still accepted gift after gift.
"Husband, look over there." The woman pointed to a cosmetics shop. They walked in hand in hand. The fragrance was overwhelming. Song Xiaoyuan frowned imperceptibly.
The woman's hands were soft and boneless. She took the lip balm and lightly dabbed some on her red lips, making her look charming and beautiful: "Husband, do you think Ning'er is pretty?"
Song Xiaoyuan raised his hand and gently stroked her fair cheek, smiling lovingly and praising: "Madam is very beautiful."
The woman raised her head, put her soft hands on Song Xiaoyuan's chest and said coquettishly: "Do you like it, my husband?"
"like."
"Then buy some and go back to help your husband and Ning'er put on their makeup, okay?"
"okay."
The woman looked around, and Song Xiaoyuan walked behind the woman with his hands behind his back. Tan Mou suddenly raised his eyes to the second floor. The thin woman behind the pillar just blocked her view, so Tan Mou did not see who she was.
The woman bought a lot of things, and Song Xiaoyuan accompanied her with a gentle smile. As the two of them left the store with bags, Luo Xi came out from behind the pillar on the second floor.
She originally wanted to stay in Houyang and do some small silk handkerchief business, but as Houyang bandits had entered the city unscrupulously, Luo Xi had to leave overnight and come to the relatively safe Qiannan. Cosmetics was a job she was relatively familiar with and knew a lot of skills about. She was also very beautiful, so the shop owner immediately decided to keep her to sell cosmetics and work as a hairdresser.
Today she was supposed to go to the official's house to have her eyebrows drawn and makeup done. Luo Xi packed up and was about to go downstairs. He thought he was dazzled but it turned out to be Mr. Song. The figure of the woman next to him was similar to Miss Shen, but she was not as demure as Miss Shen. Instead, she had some style of a brothel... However, her eyebrows and eyes were still somewhat similar to Miss Shen.
After the two men left, another person also left with them. That person was someone Luo Xi had never seen before.
"Miss, our Miss Su is still waiting!" A woman dressed as a maid downstairs shouted upstairs with an unhappy tone.
Luo Xi hurried downstairs wearing a face scarf, and apologized with a smile: "Sorry, please lead the way."
As the maid got on the carriage, Luo Xi couldn't figure it out. After so much experience, could it be that they were really not together anymore? Young Master Song didn't seem like someone who kept a mistress, not to mention that this woman... looked too similar to Miss Shen! The two people in the store were completely a pair of mandarin ducks in their actions, expressions, and eyes. The man was in love and the woman was interested.
