Chapter 755 Night Talk (Part 1)
Several pots of silver frost charcoal placed separately block out the wind and snow outside the door, creating a warm space.
Sun Shaozong lay on the edge of the U-shaped bathtub, resting his chin on a soft, dry, thick satin, with his eyes slightly closed, enjoying the meticulous service of two long-handled brushes behind him.
After a long while, when his breath began to slow down, he heard You Erjie's tender voice: "Second Master, it's time to go to the front."
"Um."
Sun Shaozong let out a puff of foul air from his nose, but waited for a long time before he lazily turned around and tilted his drunken face towards the beam.
Two brushes that were neither too soft nor too hard were dipped in bath fragrance and foam and reached into the bathtub to scrub his broad chest.
About half a quarter of an hour later, when he felt one of the brushes slowly moving downward, Sun Shaozong finally uttered a clear word: "Change."
You Erjie understood what was meant and quickly hung the brush on the rack. She unbuttoned her clothes, revealed a delicate arm, and without hesitation put it into the water, soon stirring up strings of bubbles.
Seeing this, Caixia on the opposite side blushed slightly, and the long-handled brush in her hand became a little unsteady.
Although she has served Sun Shaozong a lot recently, the grudge in her heart has not been completely eliminated. After all, she is not as open-minded as You Erjie.
He was lowering his head, trying hard to maintain the work at hand, when he suddenly saw Sun Shaozong raising his arms from the water and slowly paddling towards his waist.
Caixia subconsciously wanted to dodge, but was given a heart-wrenching look by You Erjie. Her movements were subconsciously slowed down by half a beat, and when she wanted to dodge again, it was too late.
Helpless, she could only let the wet big hand climb up along her slender waist.
What a corrupt and decadent old society!
Sun Shaozong closed his eyes, feeling the touch and outlining the contours, sighing with emotion "sincerely" in his heart, but he had no intention of breaking away from this decadent life.
Even as he finished expressing his feelings, what came to his mind was Li Wan's long-lost body.
It was snowing heavily and it was broad daylight, so it was still too hasty. I didn't know if it could relieve the pretty widow's homesickness.
But it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, she has Suyun as a backup in her room.
Thinking about the master and servant and all those fake and false things, Sun Shaozong felt his anger rising. He suddenly opened his arms and hugged the two women. He heard the two women screaming at the same time, followed by splashing water everywhere.
…
West Wing Guest Room.
Aunt Xue got out of the bathtub and dressed herself again. She breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she couldn't help but glance at Suyun who was changing the water.
Just now, under Li Wan's instructions, it was Suyun who helped her take a bath.
During this time, the girl didn't do anything strange, but Aunt Xue always felt that her fingers were like soft irons, several degrees hotter than the water in the bucket. Wherever she rubbed, there would be an inexplicable dryness.
Could it be that...
Are all the rumors in Rongguo Mansion true?
Does she really have some unclear relationship with Li Wan?
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue felt a little uneasy. After all, she was going to sleep in the same bed with Li Wan today...
But on second thought, Li Wan obviously likes men, so how could she do such a fake thing?
The feeling I had just now was probably because I was used to hearing rumors, so I couldn't help but think too much.
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue relaxed her mind again. While wrapping her long black hair with a towel, she pushed the door and went into the inner room.
As soon as she stepped over the threshold, a chill hit her in the face. Aunt Xue shivered and felt a chill on her chest. The cold air went straight to her heart with every breath she took.
I immediately regretted not putting on the sable cloak.
However, thinking that she would be going to bed soon, she did not go back to dress properly again. Instead, she stretched out her hand to cover the narrow slit in front of her chest and walked around the four-season screen in front of the door.
"Auntie, have you finished washing?"
Li Wan was in front of the bed, flipping through something by candlelight. When she heard footsteps behind her, she quickly stood up and greeted them with a smile, but she still held the colored book in her hand.
"I originally wanted to make do with it for one night, but ended up letting the second girl spend money again."
As Aunt Xue spoke, she hung the towel on the rack beside the bed.
You have to know that this is not the future. The would be enough for ordinary people to survive the winter - not to mention anything else, just those pots of silver frost charcoal are almost like burning silver.
Li Wan smiled but did not respond to the conversation. Seeing Aunt Xue covering her chest and tightly contracting her plump body, she knew that she was not used to the temperature in the room.
Although the silver frost charcoal doesn’t produce much smoke, I didn’t dare to use more of it in the bedroom.
So he hurriedly welcomed Aunt Xue to the bedside, picked up a quilt and wrapped it around her, saying, "Aunt, please warm yourself up first. There's no hurry to go to bed - I'm afraid I'll need your help later."
"Ask me for help?"
Aunt Xue had just gathered the quilts and was startled when she heard this. She asked in surprise, "What can I help you with?"
Li Wan did not answer her. Instead, she took advantage of the moment when Aunt Xue gathered the quilt around her chest and no longer defended herself, and stretched out her hand to pinch her collarbone, teasing, "Aunt's skin is so white and tender, I'm afraid it's not enough to describe it as a lotus emerging from water."
Aunt Xue felt a little itchy from being touched, and she couldn't help but chuckle, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm already this old, and I've developed a lot of wrinkles in the past two years. I'm afraid I'll become an old woman in a few days."
I thought Li Wan would definitely try to comfort her.
Who would have thought that after hearing this, Li Wan fell silent, put the illustrated booklet against her bosom, and sighed softly, "That's right, how many good years can we girls have in our lifetime? Once we miss it, we can never get it back."
Aunt Xue was slightly startled, but then she saw the colored booklet, which turned out to be Li Qingzhao's "Shuo Yu Ci", and she suddenly understood.
He was silent for a long while, and was about to say something to comfort her, when he heard Suyun shouting from outside: "Grandma, the water has been changed. Do you want to take a bath now, or..."
"I'll be right there."
Li Wan agreed and put the "Shuyu Ci" into Aunt Xue's hands: "Aunt, keep it for me first."
Before he finished speaking, without giving Aunt Xue a chance to say anything else, he hurried out into the outer room.
Aunt Xue watched her figure disappear behind the Four Seasons Screen and couldn't help but sigh.
Subconsciously, I looked down and saw that the "Shu Yu Ci" was spread out in my hand, but what caught my eye was a poem "Sheng Sheng Man·Xun Xun Mi Mi".
"Searching and searching, cold and desolate, sad and miserable. When it is warm and cold, it is the most difficult to rest..."
Aunt Xue gradually became dazed while murmuring softly. It was not until she heard a shout from outside that she realized that she had been standing in .
Just as she was feeling lost, she heard Li Wan outside urging her, "Aunt, can you come out for a moment?"
