Chapter 55
After the harmonious relationship between the siblings in the past few days, it was not unknown to Yin Shi that Shen Ti suddenly became aware of her gender after eating meat.
But that’s not important.
They are both about the same age and good-looking. It would be wrong if he had no gender awareness towards her.
It is normal to have it, which shows that he is a healthy young man with no problem with his sexual orientation.
In comparison, it was the fact that his first break might not go well that worried Yin Shi.
In this feudal society, the ancients would not talk openly about such things. Especially for a young man like Shen Ti who is very proud at heart, if he encounters setbacks in this area, he will definitely be ashamed to tell others about it.
If there is any psychological shadow, it will affect the rest of my life. It will be terrible.
As a sister, Yin Shi was really worried. It's like frying fish by tossing it over and over.
After all, she came from a different time and space and was older. She couldn't turn a blind eye to the plight of her younger brother, so she finally spoke.
Such a thunderous question made even Shen Ti, as smart and quick as she was, silent.
The tent was silent for a moment before Shen Ti asked slowly: "What does sister mean by this question?"
He propped up the mattress and sat up.
Two people faced each other in the darkness.
My eyes have adapted to the darkness and I can vaguely see outlines.
The boy's face is slightly sideways, and the line from his cheekbones to his chin can be seen.
Yin Shi coughed and said, "I asked the girl about your situation. They said that because of the Feng family and the scientific examination, your aunt and uncle did not arrange a marriage for you."
"Then you will rise to the clouds "You are a noble person. I can trust you. You will definitely not go to an unclean place like a brothel."
"I guess you were a virgin before yesterday, right?"
【Noble character. 】
【Trust it. 】
The compliment was quite comforting and made Shen Ti's mood relax a bit. He asked: "Then what?"
Although his tone was still unhurried, Yin Shi could actually hear the hidden caution in it.
Indeed, this matter... is a bit sensitive for men, and it is too closely tied to self-esteem.
"I'll take it as your admission." Yin Shi said sternly, "Actually, it's usually not good for boys for the first time, and they are prone to premature ejaculation. But this is normal. Try it a few times, Or you can solve it yourself before trying it and reduce your sensitivity, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.”
Shen Ti was silent for a long time and asked, "Why should I care?"
This time it was Yin Shi's turn to be silent.
But that's all...
Yin Shi looked away: "You and Ms. Feng just consummated their marriage yesterday, and you ignored her today. I thought it was because you didn't go well last night, So I'm scared today..."
"You thought you were wrong," Shen Ti said.
One of his legs was bent upright and one leg was bent horizontally, with his arms resting on his upright knees. Faintly, Yin Shi could see this outline.
You can’t tell your age from his silhouette, you can only tell that he is a man.
“I misunderstood?” Yin Shi scratched his face, “Then why didn’t you go to Feng’s place today? Isn’t it the time for people like you to separate the honey from the oil?”
The outline of Shen Ti seemed to raise her head. Did she say something wrong again?
Shen Ti looked at the ceiling of the tent speechlessly, it was so dark that she couldn't see anything.
This cousin can really have random thoughts.
"Then why?" she asked.
Shen Ti looked back at her.
There is a dark light in the room, but there is light even though it is dark. She was facing outward, and he could see her more clearly than she could see him with the backlight, and he could see the shape of her facial features.
She was not shy and even a little serious when talking about this kind of thing. She has the attitude of an eldest sister teaching her younger brother.
Shen Ti was even more speechless.
But he originally wanted to talk to her about this matter, but she interrupted him while drying his hair.
“As long as the concubine is favored, a wife cannot stand without power.” He said.
“…” Yin Shi was confused and asked carefully, “You mean…?
“After all, my sister is my real wife. Shen Ti said, "My sister and I are newly married. If we indulge in the concubine's room, the servants and relatives in the family will inevitably have people who follow others' influence, gossip, and have no morals. They will either praise you, look down on you, or ridicule you." My sister will be the mother of the housekeeper in the future. Without prestige, it will be difficult for her to gain a foothold. ”
Yin Shi didn't want to be a mistress at all. She just wants to be a rice bug. She thought about coaxing Mrs. Shen and Shen Ti to get better and continue to live a relaxed and good life.
Because of this, her brain circuits and Shen Ti's were so divergent. It turned out that this was what he was thinking about, and her mind was full of pornographic waste.
It’s not entirely her fault. When you open your eyes every morning, you can see young boys holding up the sky, dragons and tigers, with their clothes loose and their chests half exposed. It’s really hard not to think about this.
Who would have thought that when he was so happy to take a concubine and had sex with his lover for the first time, he was actually thinking about the majesty of the mistress in the clan, and how he controlled it.
This time it was Shen Ti's turn to silence Yin Shi.
Just as Yin Shi was about to speak, Shen Ti interrupted her and said: "And Luo Niang, she offended her sister. It's her fault. I apologize to her sister on her behalf. I didn't go to her place today because she did something wrong. , You should be punished.”
Yin Shi remained silent for even longer.
She knew what he was referring to, which was Feng Luoyi's overstep and calling her "sister".
At that time, he suddenly turned his head to look at her. Although she didn't turn her head, she saw it from the corner of her eye.
“But you’re not going to correct her, are you,” she said bluntly. “You’re punishing her by not staying the night. But I guess you’re not even going to tell her why.”
Shen Ti said softly: "Yes."
He knew that Yin Shi was a sensible person. How could she not understand? She was not shy at that time precisely because she understood everything. "Luo Niang is famous among the ladies in the capital at a young age for her talents and is very popular. The officials in the capital get engaged early, and my mother was quick to act. She asked for marriage early, so she was betrothed to me."
"Unexpectedly, her life has been turned upside down. Now she has been reduced to a lowly status and can only be my concubine. Calling my sister 'Sister', She probably couldn't bear the gap in her heart, and she still felt that she was still a noble lady."
"You couldn't bear to expose her." Yin Shi smiled, "So I bought a gold bracelet. I’m happy, let me not argue with her. Is that what you mean?”
Shen Ti breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew my sister understood. Thank you for your generosity."
"It's just a small matter." Yin Shi said, "As long as you keep buying me gold bracelets, I can always be generous. "
Everyone gets what they need - Feng Luoyi gets spiritual comfort, and she increases her private property.
Win-win.
No, no, although Shen Ti spent money, he also got the harmony he wanted with his wife and concubines, and peace in the back house.
So, win-win-win!
But Shen Ti didn’t laugh.
He was still very serious and said: "Since my sister married me, no matter whether we consummate the marriage or not, we are still husband and wife. Mine belongs to my sister, and I will give it to Luo Niang alone. You guys I won’t treat them badly. Sister, don’t worry about these money matters.”
Yin Shi said, “Okay.”
Yin Shi felt that this topic could be ended. I want to lie down again.
But Shen Ti didn't mean to end it yet, he still had something to ask.
"Sister has misunderstood. You don't have to worry about my bed." He said slowly, "I would like to know that my sister is a boudoir girl. She doesn't go out and doesn't see her husband. How do you know so much?”
Yin Shi raised his eyelids.
There are dark lights in the room, and a faint light shines through the curtains.
But with the light behind him, he couldn't see his face at all, and he could only outline an outline in the darkness.
Put your arms on your upright knees.
There is a sense of oppression coming over my face.
Not only from the young man questioning her in front of her, but also from the era and the entire society in this time and space.
But Yin Shi dared to open this topic because he was well prepared.
"I have read "Ode to the Harmony of Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang", haven't you read it?" She asked with a smile, "I have also read "The Yellow Emperor's Canon", which you must have read. It's all written in it No need for me to say more.”
Shen Ti's gasping sound was heard in the darkness.
He asked angrily: "How can you read that kind of thing! Who gave it to you!"
Yin Shi sneered: "I know you have read it now. You If I can read, why can’t I? This kind of thing is for men and women together. Why should the man know everything and the woman should know nothing?”
“I actually read a lot of books, but they are very miscellaneous and I don’t have any serious knowledge.” Yin Shi said, “So I often say that I am a person with little knowledge. If you ask me to write poems, I can’t do it. I can only connect a sentence and play with it, but it won’t work if I add more.”
Here, knowledge in the narrow sense refers to the Four Books and Five Classics. To expand, poetry, calligraphy and painting. According to this theory, Yin Shi was only superficial, and indeed had no "knowledge".
"But, it doesn't mean that I don't understand anything."
"On the contrary, I understand quite a lot. Some of them may be things you think I shouldn't understand." She said, "You'd better know Habit."
She faced the light. Although it was weak, the light still fell in her eyes.
In the darkness, Shen Ti could see her sparkling eyes, which were a bit scary.
Yin Shi, a woman, created a mask of honesty, honesty, friendship and filial piety for herself in her natal family. After only a few days in the Shen family, she established a gentle, bright, dignified and respectful image.
Shen Ti knows all this. When he was in Huaixi, he asked about it, and after they got married, he also paid attention to it.
But in fact, only Shen Ti knows how sharp this cousin is.
A year ago at Donglin Temple, she saw through him at a glance and exposed his hypocrisy and naivety mercilessly. Shen Ti can't forget that kind of horror in her soul and the tingling feeling on her skin.
Yin Shi is definitely not what she appears on the surface.
There is nothing gentle and bright about the smile at the corner of the mouth, it is obviously cold and charming.
It was absolutely different from how she looked during the day.
Perhaps, Shen Ti thought, this is what she really looks like.
He also has a very important question.
"So cousin," Shen Ti raised her eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Are you still a virgin?"
