MTL - Pihanjin-Chapter 28

The water was quickly prepared, and Xie Changgeng entered the bath room.

Mu Fulan stayed in the room.

There was a faint sound of water moving inside. After a while, Mu Fulan suddenly heard another voice, "Come in!"

Mu Fulan hesitated, walked slowly to the door of the bath room, and reached out to push the door open.

Under the floor tiles of the bathroom, there is also a ground fire dragon, which is very hot, the water vapor inside, and the hot mist is dense.

Mu Fulan stood at the door and saw him stand up from the water and step out.

"Bring me clothes."

His tone was flat, as if it was a natural thing that she often did for him.

His clothes were hanging on the rack by the door.

Mu Fulan paused for a while, then reached out to take it, and walked a few steps in.

With his back to the door, he was wiping the water off himself.

When he was neatly dressed during the day, he looked thin, but he took off his clothes, with broad shoulders and a strong chest and belly. With his back to her at the moment, following his wiping movements, the clear-line qiurs muscles on the shoulders and backs moved slightly like a dark wave.

Mu Fulan walked behind him and handed over the clothes.

He threw away the wipe, took the clothes from her hand, and put them on.

"I don't know if you'll be back tonight, but I've just told someone to add two more dishes. I'll take a look and see if I'm ready."

After Mu Fulan finished speaking, she turned and walked out, but she heard Xie Changgeng suddenly say behind him, "Mister Mu, do you really want to go back to Changsha immediately?"

Mu Fulan's heart skipped a beat, she stopped, and turned her head slowly.

Xie Changgeng had already put on his clothes, turned around and faced her.

The candles were dimmed in the bathroom. Across the dense white mist, Mu Fulan saw his two eyes fall on her face, her eyes darkened.

This is a question that she is very difficult to answer.

She said, "I remember that you promised before leaving the capital. After you got here, you would call me back after a while. To be honest with you, of course I want to go back, and I also want your convenience."

He didn't answer, and the surroundings fell silent.

The space of the bathroom is small, and the fire dragon is burning vigorously. Mu Fulan felt that the air was getting hotter. I don't know if it was water vapor or sweat, it slowly accumulated on the skin she had just showered, and the clothes on her body seemed to be wet.

Even breathing, gradually seems to have become a little difficult.

"You're probably hungry, so I'll rush dinner..."

She paused, said softly, and walked to go. The footsteps stopped again.

A hand stretched out behind him. Those hands wrapped around her waist, restraining her in place.

Her feet immediately rose into the air.

She was hugged from the back by Xie Changgeng, placed on her arms, and walked out.

He was barefoot, and his shirt was loose, revealing his chest. His hair was still wet, his black hair was sticking to his temples, and water beads kept dripping from the corners of his hair with his steps, splashing on her face and body, and quickly smudged. .

Mu's mother and the maid went to the door, knocked, then pushed open the false door and entered with a food box, which was about to be placed on the table, but saw Xie Changgeng striding out of the bathroom holding Weng Master like this. , all were stunned.

"Get out!"

Xie Changgeng's face was gloomy, he gave a low drink, and without stopping for half a minute, he passed in front of several people who were still stunned, hugged Mu Fulan and entered the inner room.

He placed her on the edge of the bed, held a hosta that she used to fasten her hair, pulled it out, and threw it on a small table by the bed.

With a slight "dong", the hosta hit the hard teak, jumped a few times, and broke into two pieces.

Xie Changgeng looked down at her face that was gradually changing color, as if he was admiring her appearance. There was no extra expression on her face.

Just like this one by one, he slowly finished pulling the hairpins she had inserted into her temples to secure her hair.

When the last hairpin was also cut off by him on the case, her black silk was scattered like a waterfall.

Xie Changgeng grabbed a hand, squeezed it, leaned down, and took a sniff.

Freshly washed long hair, scented with flowers. He let go of his hand, and the hand scraped along her face again, and finally squeezed her chin lightly, raised it, and told her to look up at him.

Black hair fell on her cheeks. She looked slightly pale.

"It's good that you are sensible."

He leaned his face towards her slowly, and said lowly.

"When it's convenient for me, you can go back."

His eyes were extremely dark, but his tone was extremely gentle. If you don't look at his face, just listen, it sounds like he is coaxing her.

Mu Fulan stood up abruptly.

Before she could stand up straight, he was holding her shoulders, and when she pressed it, her knees softened, and she fell back and fell on the bed behind her.

She sank into the soft quilt, watched him slowly remove the belt around his waist, stared at herself, and said, "Don't be afraid. You'll be happy in a while."

Mama Mu was settled outside, unable to advance or retreat, her face was extremely ugly, she froze for a moment, and faintly heard a low, suppressed whimper from the woman inside the tent. Although it was vague, it was clearly audible. Quickly glanced at several maids nearby with red faces, and hurriedly signaled to go out.

The maids hurriedly picked up the food box and exited.

Mu's mother frowned, and finally glanced in the direction of the inner room, suppressing the worries in her heart, she could only retreat and gently closed the door.

On Xie Changgeng's body, he could no longer see the half-hearted attitude that he usually showed to outsiders. Whether it is the handsome appearance or the sophistication and prestige of an official.

The wife he was married to, the princess of Changsha, Mu Fulan.

His eyes were red, his teeth were clenched, his handsome face covered with sweat was slightly twisted, his movements were fierce and fierce, extremely fierce, for a long time, he hugged her waist for a long time, and the dry fire, anger and injustice that had accumulated for days , with the huge pleasure that was like blasting the soul, it seemed to be released in an endless stream.

After a long time, he slowly sighed, took a piece of clothes, wiped himself and her, and fell asleep with her in his arms.

The wax torch in the room collapsed inch by inch, gradually shortening, the flame dimmed and suddenly went out.

The man woke up, did not open his eyes, reached out in the darkness, stroked the soft and warm skin of the woman beside him for a moment, turned over and pressed it again without saying a word.

The night was blurred, and the surroundings were silent, and the faint thumping sound of the violent collision spread from the room to the door.

Mu's mother didn't sleep all night, and in the torment and waiting, she finally waited until dawn.

As soon as Xie Changgeng left, she immediately ran into the room and turned to the inner room.

The window was closed, and a dim morning light penetrated through the window paper, reflecting the scene in the house.

Half of the bed net was cracked, and a golden hook at the head of the bed was also broken and fell to the ground in front of the bed. The woman's clothes were hung messily by the bed.

The air was a little stuffy, and there seemed to be a wisp of musk odor floating in the nostrils.

Mother Mu threw herself in front of the bed and opened the messy quilt, which was wrinkled in disarray, revealing a snow-white back covered with bright red bite marks like the belly of a fish.

Mu's mother took a deep breath. Carefully turned her over. Her face was tired and haggard, her eyes were closed, and her long messy hair was covered in wet and dry, dry and wet sweat. The whole body, arms, chest, waist, hips and legs, were covered with a little bit of tooth bites and scars left by fingers. Impressive.

That night, after seeing Xie Changgeng come out of the room with an angry face and left overnight, the next day, the more she thought about it, the more she felt wrong, and Mu's mother secretly asked Dan Zhu, who was supposed to be serving in the room at the time, and only then did she learn that she was going to send When the clothes were given to the Weng master in the bath room, Xie Changgeng happened to come in and ordered her to go out instead of her.

Weng Zhu and he were only a couple in name before, and they were separated on the bed at night, and there was no real couple. But when she heard from Dan Zhu's mouth that night that she didn't know about, and then thought of what she saw the night before, she felt uneasy in her heart.

She remembered the viciousness that Xie Changgeng carried her out to drink with him and the maids last night, why he treated her like this, his heart was bright, his heart ached, his eyes instantly turned red, he covered her with a quilt, and said in a trembling voice, "Master Weng, Just let me tell him, you..."

"don't want."

Mu Fulan's eyelashes twitched, and she slowly opened her red and swollen eyes.

"I won't allow you to mention half a word."

"Not even half a word!"

Her spirit seemed to come back at once, looking at the woman in front of her, word by word.

Mu's mother couldn't help choking, "Master Weng, why are you doing this... I really don't understand..."

"Mother Mu, remember my words."

"I'm tired and want to sleep." She closed her eyes, turned inward and said in a low voice.

Mu's mother stared blankly at her back, so she had to wipe away her tears, packed up the messy clothes and things on the ground, and walked out lightly.

After that, she secretly paid attention and found that after that night, Xie Changgeng never slept alone on the couch in the room again.

Fortunately, after that night, Mu's mother no longer felt that he treated Wengzhu so cruelly. Although sometimes there are scars left over from the previous night on her body, but not too much.

It seems that the two of them are more like newly married Yan Er, and the most gratifying thing to Mu's mother is the attitude of the master.

Although I can't figure out why Wengzhu's attitude towards Xie Changgeng changed so much before, and overnight, the great love turned into great evil, but now she looks like she has accepted the two people in the same room, without any sorrow or grief It is the state of resentment, and the daily attitude is the same as usual.

Mu's mother finally calmed down a little.

Days passed like this. In a blink of an eye, Weng Zhu had been here for more than a month. The first month was full, and it was the second month. On this day, the stings were shocked, and the farmers began to plough according to the calendar.

In Hexi, there is an important custom. On this day, the gods of agriculture and silkworms are sacrificed to pray for good weather and good harvest in this year.

In Guzang, according to the custom, officials and people in the vicinity of hundreds of miles will rush to the temple in the west of the city.

This sacrifice is regarded as a major event by the local people. According to the Book of Rites, those who preside over sacrifices must fast three days in advance. Not only bathing and changing clothes, but also drinking alcohol and eating meat before three days. As for couples, they are not allowed to have the same room. This is a sincere tribute.

In previous years, when the wife of Jiedushi was absent, she was replaced by the wife of the state official. This year, when people came, it was naturally the wife who presided over the sacrifice.
