I ate soft rice in those years

After Chu Wenlin fell his leg, it became inconvenient to walk around, so Zheng Yue sent two maidservants to attend to his daily life.

"This is Cuiying, and this is Weiyu. I have been in the mansion for some years, and I am thorough in everything."

Both women are tall and slender, with spring-like faces, just in their prime.

But Chu Wenlin felt bad, shook his head and said to Zhengyue: "Men and women are different after all, you'd better find two young men to come over, it's more convenient to get close to support."

After hearing this, Zhengyue nodded, of course he would follow Chu Wenlin's wishes.He was about to take the two of them out when one of them suddenly said, "Young Master Chu, although it is convenient for a man to do some physical work, his hands and feet are thick and rough, so he is no more careful than us. The young master also needs to read and write, and the servant has just learned how to grind, so it is better to stay Get down slaves."

Chu Wenlin thought for a while, and it is true that many books in Qingyunzhai are ancient books, and it is better to find someone who can handle them lightly, so he nodded, "That's fine, what's your name."

The woman smiled, looked at his blessed body and said softly: "The servant girl's name is Cuiying."

Although there are people who can help, Chu Wenlin is still glad that he didn't break his hand, and he can still eat, drink and dress by himself, otherwise he really can't accept it.

For example, this day when he just woke up and was about to change his clothes, Cuiying pushed open the door and walked over with a smile, "Young Master Chu, let me help you."

Chu Wenlin quickly turned around and closed his coat, "No need, you go out first."

Put on pants or something, let him do it himself.

After being rejected, Cuiying pursed her lips, but could only leave in response.

When she walked to the door, another young man was walking in, she grabbed him, "Wait a minute, I want to ask you something."

The boy was pulled back by her, rubbing his arms and complaining, "What?"

"How long have you been watching at night?"

Although they have to keep watch at night, they don't stay up all night. They only wake up at a certain time and go to sleep, and they will wake up when the master calls for something.

"Zi Shi." The boy scratched his head, "Did Mr. Chu say something?"

Cuiying smiled deeply, and let him go, "No, I just asked. You go in." She looked at Chu Wenlin inside again, with a hint of certainty in her eyes.

-

It can be said that Chu Shuhua was seriously ill this time, and he drank the medicine and vomited again, so he could only lie on the bed and be taken care of by others.

Drowsy, she remembered Chu Wenlin's glance in the courtyard at that time, and then he said he was going to call the doctor.

She remembered her previous life again.

At that time, Chu Wenlin was really kind to her, and he always had a calm expression on weekdays, but when he smiled, it was as if he had given all the warmth to himself, so after a long time, she fell into it, and began to want to be with him for nothing. They lived together for the first time, but in the end she found out that he had always hated her legs.If it wasn't for her identity, it seemed that Chu Wenlin wouldn't even look at him.

In the end, he even raised the outer room, and went to Xingshi to inquire about the crime by himself. In a hurry, he lost his fetal gas, but Chu Wenlin took Jiaoniang away and let her die of dystocia on the cold ground. Why didn't he then Call him a doctor?

During this half-dream and half-awake period, she kept crying and shouting at Chu Wenlin, sometimes gnashing her teeth, and sometimes whispering softly.

When the old lady Chu heard this, she covered her mouth, and said to the servants with sharp eyes: "You all go down first, don't let me hear anyone gossiping behind their backs."

"Yes." The old lady wiped her tears and sighed.

This night seemed to have experienced life and death again, and Chu Shuhua finally woke up.

The old lady laughed and helped her up, "My good boy, I finally woke up."

"Grandmother." Chu Shuhua called out weakly.

"Yeah." The old lady asked the servants to bring the soup and stirred it with a spoon, "Although I don't know what's going on between you and that Chu Wenlin, but since we've made a clean break with him, let him go. My granddaughter doesn't have to worry about not being able to find a good family, so when you're healthy, pick a favorite one and marry her beautifully."

Chu Shuhua looked at her, not knowing why Chu Wenlin was mentioned.But suddenly, some fragments of last night came back to my mind.

She nodded, "I listen to grandma."

A few days later, Chu Shuhua almost recovered from his illness, so he went out with his maid Ming'er to get some air.

"Have you heard? Cuiying fell into the trap of Mr. Chu"

"What? Isn't he the eldest lady's ex-husband? How dare she?"

"It's already divorced, so it's not considered husband-in-law. But he is valued by the prince, and he even moved Qingyunzhai to him. He must be promising in the future. How many people are envious. Even if it's just A concubine can be regarded as flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix."

"That girl Cuiying has too many thoughts."

The two were chatting vigorously, Ming'er coughed a few times, and said sharply: "Which courtyard are you from, you dare to chew the root of the master's tongue behind your back."

Hearing the sound, the two turned their heads and saw Chu Shuhua knelt down in fright, "Miss, we also heard what others said."

Chu Shuhua glanced at them indifferently, lifted the corner of his skirt and left.

She was not surprised by this matter at all, but it had nothing to do with her anymore.

But Chu Wenlin was really innocent.

He had just woken up from his sleep this morning, and when he was about to turn over, he bumped into another person next to him, and he was so frightened that his soul almost flew away.

But before he could yell out, the person lying next to him screamed out first.

Frightened by this voice, Chu Wenlin reflexively kicked her out of the bed, only to hear a thud, a familiar voice ouch.

He regained his composure and lifted the veil, only to find that it was the maid Cuiying, "What are you doing here?"

But at this time, the whole courtyard was attracted by the scream, and the news spread.

When Chu Xiuyan came over, Chu Wenlin was still wearing only a middle coat and sitting on the bed, the room was chilly, Cuiying was disheveled and knelt on the ground wiping tears, it really seemed like what Chu Wenlin had done to him .

Chu Xiuyan stepped over the gate, and the corners of the robe woven with gold thread flicked in the air, which made Cuiying flustered for no reason, but he didn't give her a moment's look, "Zhengyue, light the smoke cage and come here."

Zheng Yue responded and went to light the smoker, and asked someone to burn charcoal to bring it, and the room was warmed up.

Cuiying pondered in her heart for a while, and before he could speak, she knelt down at Chu Xiuyan's feet, "Your Majesty, I don't blame Mr. Chu for this matter, it's because the maidservant fell in love with him."

Chu Xiuyan looked at Chu Wenlin, twirling his index finger, wondering what he was thinking.

"She climbed the bed by herself!" Chu Wenlin pointed at Cuiying, "My lord, I will never do such a dirty thing in your Qingyunzhai."

"My lord, this servant is infatuated with you, how can you say that. Besides, I have already had a close relationship with you, how can you abandon this servant?" Cuiying cried like pear blossoms and rain, "The servant does not ask for it." In addition, I just ask that you are willing to accept slaves as concubines."

But when she heard a bang, the burning charcoal basin was kicked over to her skirt, and sparks splashed everywhere, almost igniting her skirt, Cuiying was so frightened that she hurriedly crawled back a few steps in embarrassment, carrying From the very beginning, Chu Xiuyan looked at her coldly, "Are you allowed to speak?"

Cuiying immediately stopped crying, her voice was trembling, "Forgive me, my son, but this servant is afraid."

Chu Xiuyan glanced at Chu Wenlin, "Do you want to accept her?"

Chu Wenlin shook his head sharply, "No."

"Young master!" Cuiying's eyes widened. Chu Wenlin is usually very talkative, so she broke the boat this time, but she thinks she looks good, so why is Chu Wenlin not even willing to give him the title of concubine.

"Take it down." Chu Xiuyan lifted his chin lightly, and ordered to Zhengyue.

Cuiying pushed away in a panic and said, "My lord, please, you can see my sincerity—"

Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Yue covered her mouth and pressed it out.

Chu Xiuyan walked to the side of the smoked cage, picked up the outer robe on top, and handed it to Chu Wenlin, "After that, let Zheng Yue come over to wait on you."

Chu Wenlin took it and put it on his body, "Zhengyue has served the prince for many years, and he dare not take away his love, so he just needs to pick some more well-behaved ones."

"Forget it." Chu Xiuyan glanced at Sleepy with deep eyes, "I don't want this bed anymore, let's change it."

This was originally his property, so naturally Chu Wenlin would not say anything.

Afterwards, Zheng Yue picked two younger ones, one named Suntao and the other Chunshui, who were pure-minded and smart, and had no problems like before.

-

These days, Chu Wenlin just stayed in Qingyunzhai every day and didn’t go out much. These days, although Chu Xiuyan didn’t spend the night here anymore, he was still there during the day. Watching from the sidelines without disturbing each other.

That's it, it will be New Year's Eve soon.Chu Wenlin didn't notice it at first, but he still vaguely heard the sound of firecrackers outside, so he only found out after asking.

In fact, it's not his fault, Chu Xiuyan likes to be quiet, and the whole courtyard is as deserted as usual at the end of the year, and there are no such festive things as couplets and lanterns.

Thinking that I have been living here for a while, and my food and clothing are all prepared here, I am always a little embarrassed, so I took out the monthly salary from the Shuchangguan, took out the red paper and wrote a festive message, Sent it to the people.

"Ah, thank you, young master." Suntao took the money carefully wrapped in red paper in surprise.

But Chunshui next to him evaded and said: "My lord, it's against the rules. You are a guest of the Chu mansion, and slaves are not allowed to take you."

She is older than Suntao, and has served in the mansion since she was a child.I have seen a lot, so naturally I have a lot of worries, and I am always careful not to make any mistakes.

Sun Tao who was next to her was a little bit reluctant to hear what she said, but she didn't dare to take Chunshui if she didn't want it, so she had to hand it back too.

Chu Wenlin leaned on the back of the chair covered with soft fox fur, looked at the two teenage girls pretending to be mature, and smiled softly, "Take it, let's celebrate the New Year, there are not so many rules. "

Sun Tao pursed her lips and looked at Chun Shui excitedly, wanting her to agree, "Sister."

Tsubaki looked at her hesitantly.

Seeing this, Chu Wenlin waved his hand, "Okay, okay, let's go, I want to sleep for a while."

Chun Shui had no choice but to salute, "Thank you, my lord."

Both of them were young and didn't serve the master, so naturally they didn't get too much reward.

Coming from a poor background, it was already not easy to get only one or two copper coins during the Chinese New Year. Now seeing this fresh red envelope, he was naturally very happy, and his face was flushed when he walked out.

Today was a rest, and there was no need to learn any more poems and annotations. Chu Wenlin lay down peacefully in the recliner and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was dark.I don't know when there was a thick mattress on my body, which was warm.

"woke up?"

A voice came from the side, and Chu Wenlin realized that Chu Xiuyan was sitting next to him with a book, "Why is your son here?"

Chu Xiuyan raised his eyes, "Then where should I be?"

Chu Wenlin thought for a while, as if his parents had passed away just like himself, he paused, "Well, Mrs. Chu?"

Chu Xiuyan smiled slightly, but he didn't understand the meaning and didn't answer.

It seemed to be snowing outside, rustling, but it seemed extraordinarily peaceful.

The two quietly finished watching the New Year's Eve, and Chu Xiuyan asked Zheng Yue to take the fox fur to prepare to go back to the dormitory.

"Wait a minute, son, I have something for you." Chu Wenlin suddenly stopped him.

Chu Xiuyan turned around, looked at him quietly and waited for him to speak.

Chu Wenlin took out a string of silver coins threaded with colored thread from his pocket, and handed it to him.

In terms of age, Chu Xiuyan was one or two years younger than him. Although his status was completely opposite, Chu Wenlin still prepared a copy.

Looking at the string of copper coins, Chu Xiuyan slowly stretched out his hand, and Chu Wenlin put it in his palm and said with a smile: "I hope the prince will not dislike the new year's money."

Chu Xiuyan raised his eyes and asked, "No envelope?"

"Huh? What envelope?" Chu Wenlin tilted his head, not understanding what he meant for a moment.

Seeing his blank face, Chu Xiuyan lowered his eyes and shook his head silently.

Just as Chu Xiuyan walked out, Chu Wenlin suddenly understood what he meant by what he said just now.

The money given to Sun Tao and the others at noon was wrapped in red envelopes, and what was given to Chu Xiuyan was only copper coins threaded with colored threads, which seemed a bit unfair, "My lord."

Hearing that Chu Xiuyan turned around, Chu Wenlin slowly explained: "This is different from them. Before I saw that the prince had a long night and it was difficult to be ignorant. There is a legend that putting copper coins under the pillow is not shocking, so I used colored thread to wear them." Get up and give it to you." After finishing speaking, Chu Wenlin smiled and said, "I hope you have a safe new year, and you will be free from disasters and fears."

-

It was already late at night, and Zheng Yue carried the lamp to lead the way ahead, stepping on the newly accumulated snow, creaking and creaking.

Chu Xiuyan carried the umbrella and walked slowly towards the dormitory, Chu Wenlin's words "every year is safe, get rid of disasters and shocks" seemed to still linger in his ears,

Holding the copper coin in his hand, he felt so peaceful for the first time.

The author has something to say: Thank you for your concern, the eyes are getting better, and the update time will be fixed at twelve noon every day.What?

I still have to draw the key points, the bed climbing did not succeed!The scumbag in the previous life was not our obedient little Chu!Just sauce.
