Little Grape Chasing Her Husband

Tang Zhengyan thought he was shy, so he said softly, "It's okay, just treat you as a servant at home."

Putao glanced at him: "How do you know there is a servant in my family?"

Tang Zhengyan smiled slightly: "Of course I can see it. From your conversation to your clothes, the family should be a wealthy family, and the servants and servants are indispensable. Don't be embarrassed, I didn't save you for the sake of wealth, but to save you. A human life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, this is due to fate. Since you live with me now, I should take good care of you."

Putao pinched the corner of her clothes, suddenly feeling a little awkward.In the past, when he took a bath, not only was there a young servant serving him, but also a beautiful maid who helped him wipe his body, and he never felt embarrassed.But at this time, for some reason, I felt very shy.

Tang Zhengyan said calmly and softly: "You have a lot of wounds on your body. Although I will scrub it for you every day when you change your dressing, I'm not that careful after all. You won't be able to get out of bed for a while, and you will easily get bedsores if you lie on the kang for a long time. , must be cleaned properly. If you are embarrassed, you can close your eyes, everyone is a man, and I will not take advantage of you." Finally, he joked, it is really cute that Putao shy and shy, Tang Zhengyan couldn't help but Want to tease him.

Putao's face was feverish, and she wanted to save face: "Who, who is sorry, I'm just not used to it for a while. Come on, come on, I've been so dirty these days, I can't help it."

Tang Zhengyan smiled lowly, stepped forward and unbuttoned his skirt.

In the past few days, he has helped Putao treat the wound, change the dressing and clean it, so he is very skilled in his movements.Moreover, he raised two younger brothers, so he naturally has a lot of experience in taking care of others.Putao blushed and hadn't recovered from her shyness, Tang Zhengyan had already helped him scrub for most of the time.

But when Tang Zhengyan wanted to take off his pants when he reached his lower body, Putao hurriedly grasped it with his unbroken hand, and stammered: "This, this is not necessary."

Tang Zhengyan was actually a little hesitant.He used to be the son of everyone, and he grew up in a well-clothed and well-fed place. Later, something happened to his family, so he had to bring his two younger brothers back to his mother's ancestral home to settle down.He used to think that serving others was a dirty and lowly thing, but after seeing the cruelty of the world, he has let go of his knots and is not ashamed of his current poor and humble life.It's just that he is well-read in poetry and books, and he is gentle and well-behaved, so he can't help being a little apprehensive about suddenly asking him to do such an intimate thing for a person who is not related by blood.

Seeing that Putao's face was about to bleed in embarrassment, he thought that he was not an ignorant half-grown child like his younger brother after all, he should be a teenager with known personnel, so he was afraid of any embarrassment, heard this and thought for a while, then said: "How about it, Your right hand can move, can you wipe it yourself?" Seeing Putao nodding repeatedly, he said, "Then you can do it yourself. Call me when you're done, I'll go out first."

He handed the washed damp cloth to Grape, turned around and went out, closing the door thoughtfully.

Putao heaved a sigh of relief, cleaned the private place clumsily and carefully, and then blushed and whispered: "Okay, okay. Come in."

Tang Zhengyan waited outside the door until he pricked up his ears to hear Putao's call, so he opened the door and came in to help him scrub the rest of his legs.

After simply freshening up, Putao felt much more comfortable.Her hair was dry and her body was clean. Although it wasn't as good as taking a hot bath comfortably, it was still not bad. I couldn't help but sleep well at night.

But early the next morning, he blushed and felt ashamed.

Tang Zhengyan noticed it when he was helping him change his medicine, and looked at him in surprise. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, he quickly smiled and said, "You're recovering well. It's nothing. I'll bring you breakfast." She went out thoughtfully.

Putao tightly covered her face with a thin quilt, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and get in.Because he had a dream last night, his pants were wet when he got up in the morning, it was terrible!

What should Tang Zhengyan think?Suffering such a serious injury and still in the mood to have sex dreams?oh!Let him die!

After a long while, Tang Zhengli opened the door carelessly and came in, saying, "Fang Ting, I brought you breakfast. Hey, why are you still lying under the quilt? Get up quickly. My brother said that I accidentally spilled the medicine juice just now. It's on you, let me help you change your pants and bedding."

Putao got out of the quilt with a blushing face, and said, "It's all right. You put the rice down, and I will change it myself later."

"Your leg is still injured, how do you change it? Let me do it."

"No need, really no need!" Putao said anxiously, "I'm not a useless person, just come by yourself!"

Hearing this, Tang Zhengli shook his head like a grown-up, and said, "Brother said you might be embarrassed, it's true. Then you can change your pants later, I'll go to the field first. I'll leave you breakfast here. "

Putao breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly resented Tang Zhengyan for letting Tang Zhengli in.Although the reason is okay, how can he let a 12-year-old boy change his clothes for him.

He barely took off his underpants with his good hand, panting and sweating.The broken bone in the chest also hurts a bit.

After a while Tang Zhengyan opened the door and came in, saying, "I'm sorry, Lizheng came to talk to me just now, I was afraid you were uncomfortable, so I asked Zhengli to help you change your clothes first." He saw the underpants on the edge of the kang Seeing Putao burying her face in the quilt and not making a sound, she thought it was cute that he was so shy, so she couldn't help but smiled, and said softly: "Everyone is an adult man, this kind of thing is normal, there is nothing to be shy about. I see you recovered well. Not bad, you can go to the ground in a few days.”

Putao groaned and groaned, speechless with shame.

Tang Zhengyan really meant what he said, and after a few days he came in with a pair of crutches and said, "I asked the carpenter in the village to make this, you can try it."

Putao was lying on the bed almost hairy, seeing that he was finally able to walk around on the ground, his eyes lit up with joy.

The crutch was tailor-made for him, and it was just right for him to lean on with one hand.Although the ribs in his chest still hurt a little, he has recuperated well in the past ten days, and the recovery effect of the Mingyue Divine Art is excellent, so he can take a few steps slowly.

Tangjia Village is located at the foot of Luofeng Mountain, and its geographical location is very remote. The nearest town has to climb over a mountain and walk for nearly a day to get there.Even driving an ox cart would take three or four hours.Moreover, the town is pitifully small, and I don't know how far I have to go to find the big city.

It is too difficult for Putao to send a letter to Yujing, so she can only wait for the opportunity to go to the town after her health improves, and then find a way to contact Dongmen.Moreover, most of the money he brought was on Xiao Zhuzi, and his purse and jade pendant containing broken silver and bank notes also fell into the water and disappeared, so he was penniless and could only recuperate in Tang's house.

Seeing that he was able to move around, Tang Zhengyan took out a long strip of cloth from Tang Zhengli's room and said, "I think this is yours. It's better to return it to you as soon as possible."

Seeing that it was his long sword wrapped in the cloth strip, Putao couldn't help being overjoyed: "I thought I lost it."

Tang Zhengyan said: "You held it tightly at the time, and I almost couldn't take it off. Before you were unable to move, I put it away for you. Now it should return to the original owner."

Putao happily picked up the long sword, waved it twice, and said sincerely: "Thank you very much. After I recover from my injury, I will definitely repay you all."

Tang Zhengyan looked at the way he was holding the sword, with a little sadness on his brows, and said, "I hope you haven't offended any enemies. After all, Tangjia Village is a small place, I'm afraid I can't protect you."

Putao said seriously: "Don't worry, I'm not from the Jianghu, and I have no enemies. It was only when I met robbers that I fell into trouble. I will not implicate Tangjia Village, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Tang Zhengyan shook his head and said, "I don't mean that. If you are a gentleman, if you walk upright and sit upright, don't you be afraid of monsters? It's good that you don't have enemies and your family is safe. It's just that the location is remote, and it must be difficult for you to go home. Jian Nai The murder weapon, this village is full of simple and hard-working villagers, it’s better not to expose it on weekdays.”

Putao thought for a while, then nodded and said: "You are right, please put it away for me." He said happily and handed over the hilt in his hand.

Tang Zhengyan didn't expect him to be so straightforward and trust him so much, a moving light flashed in his eyes.

He reached out to take the sword and hung it on the wall of the kang. Seeing Putao looking at him suspiciously, he smiled and explained: "Although the sword is a murder weapon, it is also a sharp weapon for the town house. I hang it here openly to show people So what about Yi Zhaozhao?"

Putao smiled knowingly.This Tang Zhengyan is a truly smart man.

After Putao had a cane, she immediately became lively. During the day, she leaned on the crutches and slowly moved to the yard to bask in the sun. She even tried her best to help the Tang family, such as feeding the chickens.

At the beginning, Tang Zhengyan was worried that it would be bad for his health to act like this before his injury healed, but later he found that Putao's physical fitness was really good, but after more than half a month, the fractures on his ribs, arms and legs had all reopened. If you grow well, you will be completely healed in a few days.

Tang Zhengyan saw that Putao was already able to move on his own, so he was relieved a lot on weekdays, and could read books to prepare for the exam when he had time.

He was selected as a scholar when he was 12 years old. He originally planned to go all out to try Juren the next year, but his mother died of dystocia because of giving birth to his youngest son Tang Zhengyi, so he kept his filial piety for three years.Three years later, when he was 16 years old, he could have taken the provincial examination, but something happened to his family. He had to leave his hometown and take his two younger brothers to settle in his mother's ancestral home, so he was delayed again. Passed the autumn test of that year.This time, he couldn't miss it anyway.

Putao is also very knowledgeable and knows the importance of the autumn test to Tang Zhengyan, so she tries not to disturb him and helps the Tang family as much as possible.He has lived in the Tang family these days, and he has become familiar with the three brothers, especially the second eldest Tang Zhengli. It must be because Tang Zhengli's personality is somewhat similar to Dongfang Junqian, so Putao is the fastest to get acquainted.

"Fang Ting, come and help me pick grapes." Tang Zhengli, who was returning home from the field, ran into the yard excitedly and shouted to the grapes that were feeding the chickens.

Putao followed him to the backyard on crutches, and said, "Are the grapes ripe? They were a little green a few days ago."

Tang Zhengli said: "I checked it this morning, and it's already ripe. My elder brother likes to eat grapes the most. Let's pick them quickly, wash them later and send them to elder brother."

Dongfang Junting heard the phrase "My elder brother likes grapes the most", and for some reason suddenly blushed.

His nickname is "Tao", and his family also calls him "Tao" and "Tao", but his real name "Dongfang Junting" is rarely mentioned.Because "Dongfang" is the surname of the royal family, when Wen Guochu first came to power, people outside the royal family of the Dongfang family automatically changed it to "Fang" to avoid taboos. He also told the Tang family that his name was Fang Ting.But in his heart, he is still most sensitive to the word "grape".

At this time, after hearing Tang Zhengli's words, he couldn't help substituting himself in, feeling ashamed and happy in his heart, and actually blushed.

Putao knew that his state of mind was wrong. Ever since he had a dream that night, he realized that he might have some unspeakable thoughts about Tang Zhengyan.It's just that he has learned a lot from a ditch, and still maintains his rationality. He knows that the gap between himself and Tang Zhengyan is too large, and he is afraid of what will happen, so he has been suppressing his inner feelings.But suddenly Tang Zhengli's inadvertent words aroused his thoughts, and his heart was surging for a while.

"Huh? Brother Ting, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?" Tang Zhengli couldn't help asking strangely when he saw Putao was in a daze again.

Putao came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "No, it's all right. Probably because I was in the sun for a long time in the yard just now."

"Oh." Tang Zhengli was careless and didn't take it seriously, and said, "You have limited mobility, just help me hold the basket, and I'll pick the grapes."

"Um."

Holding the basket in his hands, Putao watched Tang Zhengli pick off bunches of juicy grapes. Thinking that these would be put into Tang Zhengyan's mouth later, he couldn't help but blush even deeper.

Tang Zhengli stopped picking after picking a basket. Seeing that Fang Ting kept his head down, he thought he was tired, so he took the basket and said, "I'm going to wash these grapes, and we will eat together at night. Fang Ting, go Let's rest in the house for a while, I'll ask my brother to cook."

"Okay." Putao hurriedly entered the room with a cane.He's been thinking more and more wrong recently, but he has to think about it.

Tang Zhengyan felt that something was wrong with Fang Ting recently, as if he was hiding from him.Every time he entered the house, he would go to the yard on the grounds that he would not disturb his study, and he would not go back to the house to rest when he was tired, but went directly to Zhengli and Zhengyi's room to stay, and only came back at night when he was sleeping.

Although Tang Zhengyan was surprised, he was about to take the exam and had no time to talk to Fang Ting.What's more, they met by chance, he saved Fang Ting's life, and he didn't think of repaying him with kindness. After experiencing the cold and warm of human relationships, he understood that people's hearts can't be forced, so he just let nature take its course.

At the end of July, Putao finally recovered from his injuries, and he was able to dance around the yard by throwing down the crutches.

Tang Zhengyan felt that he had been hurt for a hundred days, even if the bones healed, he should be more careful. He said grapes a few times, but he saw his left ear listening to the right ear, thinking that he was young and active, but he had no resilience. Quick, just give up.

On this day, Putao and Tang Zhengli went to the field together to help with farm work.The sun in the morning was very hot. Even though I was wearing a wide straw hat, my skin was still hot from the sun.

Looking at her rough fingers, Putao couldn't help but sigh that it's not easy for ordinary people.He has always been pampered and pampered in the palace, and his father occasionally told him about the sufferings of the people, but he didn't take it seriously.Now that I experience it personally, I understand how correct what my father said.It is said that my father lived in Lingyin Valley when he was a child, and he also went to help in the field.Although his grandfather Beitang Ao was born as a prince, he has been living an ordinary life with his grandfather Yan Feili since he returned to seclusion, and he is not spoiled by his children and grandchildren.

Putao has always admired his grandfather.Both grandpa and father said that he looked the most like his grandfather, but he always felt that he was just a superficial resemblance, and he didn't have the aloofness and indifference of the Beitang family in his bones.His temperament is more like that of the Dongfang family. He is lazy, possessive, and has a vague concept of right and wrong. He only cares about the people and things he cares about, and he is a little indifferent to others.

But now living in this remote and poor mountain village, Putao doesn't feel that life is hard.Although I have a rough meal every day, I have to go to the fields to work, and my legs and arms are too tired to lift when I go home at night. I am more tired than when my grandfather forced me to practice martial arts, but I feel that the days are fulfilling and I feel happy every day. , Qi Hengcheng had long been thrown out of his mind.

"Second Brother, Brother Fang, it's time to eat." Tang Zhengyi, a small man, was holding a big basket with both hands, and shouted while standing by the field.

Because recently one of the two short-term laborers employed by the Tang family fell ill and was unable to work. Tang Zhengli was small and weak, and Putao was half a novice. The farm work here became extremely busy, so Tang Zhengli and Putao couldn't rush home for dinner at noon.Tang Zhengyan asked Tang Zhengyi to deliver meals at noon every day.

Tang Zhengyi is only six years old this year. He looks white and tender, not at all like a farm kid.The farm boy was born and raised, his face was flushed with tan, and his skin was slightly dark, but Tang Zhengyi couldn't get tanned no matter what, and he was cute and well-behaved, so everyone in the village liked him very much, and Putao was no exception.

"Is Xiaoyi tired? Brother, let's see if your hands are red?" Putao was not busy eating, but sat on the ridge under the tree, hugging Tang Zhengyi in his arms and kneading.

He especially likes children.When I was a child, I often rubbed my younger brother Dongfang Junren, and even dressed him like a girl.It's a pity that Dongfang Junren is young and mature. When he was six or seven years old, he didn't like to let Putao dress up. He looked like a little adult all day long, and made Putao very regretful.At this time, there was a well-behaved and obedient Tang Zhengyi who let him play, not to mention how much he liked it.

Sitting in his arms, Tang Zhengyi blushed and said shyly, "No, Xiaoyi is not tired."

"Xiao Yi is so good. Come, brother's grapes for you to eat." Putao kissed Tang Zhengyi's face, picked up a bunch of grapes in the basket and handed them to him.

Tang Zhengyi said solemnly: "Xiaoyi has eaten it. These grapes are for the second brother and brother Fang, Xiaoyi won't eat them."

Grapes are so distressed.Such a young child is sensible here, much better than his brothers.

"Brother Ting (Ting), hurry up and eat rough (eat), turn over (rice) and it won't be easy to eat rough (eat) when it's cold." Tang Zhengli said with his mouth full of food, gobbling it hungrily.

Putao picked up the pancake that was still steaming, rolled some pickles and ate it with cold water.

Tang Zhengyan's craftsmanship is good. The pancakes are not as thick as other cakes. They are thin, fragrant and soft, and they are very delicious when wrapped in pickles.

In fact, this is already the most humble food that Putao has ever eaten in his life.Even on the days when he ran away from home, he had enough bank notes, and the food and drink were all good, not to mention that Xiao Zhuzi's craftsmanship was very good, even if he slept in the open occasionally, he would never treat his mouth badly.But at this time, although it was coarse grains and light meals, he ate very sweetly.

Just thinking of the little bamboo, Putao couldn't help but sigh.Xiao Zhuzi is not only his servant, but also his personal bodyguard. He is four years older than him. It can be said that he grew up together, so the relationship is naturally very deep.Putao was very worried about Xiaozhu when he was seriously injured in bed.He still remembers the last scene before the two separated.But it was too far away from the nearest town, and he didn't know if he could find the government office or the sub-helm of the East Gate, so he couldn't even notify his family to come to him, let alone save Xiao Zhuzi.Now he can only pray that Xiao Zhuzi can save himself from danger.Without being dragged down by himself, even if he was injured with Xiao Zhuzi's ability, he should be able to escape as long as it is not fatal.

In order to cultivate an excellent hidden guard, the royal family and Tianmen have put in a lot of effort. Needless to say, Xiao Zhuzi is proficient in martial arts, and is also proficient in poison techniques. He also carries various life-saving pills (mainly for the master, But Putao is too confused, and Xiao Zhuzi is afraid that he will mistake the poison for a panacea, so he has kept these medicines for him since he was a child).So although Putao was worried, she still had some confidence in Xiao Zhuzi, believing that he would not lose his life, and more or less hoped that Xiao Zhuzi would find someone from Tianmen or Wangfu to come to him after he escaped.

Putao did not make a mistake, and Xiao Zhuzi really escaped.It's just that he was unlucky. Not long after he ran out after killing the robbers, he fell into a drug attack and passed out. When he fell down, he just hit his head on a stone. After waking up, he couldn't remember anything.After being rescued by kind-hearted people, he spent several months in a daze, until he was found by the king of Dejun Dongfang Juncheng, and his memory was restored.Therefore, the search for the master was delayed for several months.This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Putao ate his lunch, never thought that he would have such a "heroic" day, but he was really hungry, and physical labor was really not what he was good at.

While Putao and Tang Zhengli were eating, Tang Zhengyi jumped into the field by himself, trying to grab the weeds with his little hands, trying to help his brothers with some work.

Tang Zhengli said: "Xiaoyi, after the second brother is done working for a while, I will go to the mountains to help you catch hares, okay?"

Tang Zhengyi raised his head excitedly when he heard the words, his big round eyes sparkled, and he shouted, "Brother, is it true? Xiaoyi really wants to eat rabbit meat. Xiaoyi hasn't eaten rabbit meat for a long time."

Tang Zhengli grinned, and said, "Don't worry, Second Brother will have time in a few days, and then I will catch Xiao Yi a big fat and big rabbit."

"Oh! Good, good!" Tang Zhengyi jumped excitedly.

Putao hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his hand and said, "I'll go too! I'll help Xiaoyi catch rabbits too! I... I can shoot arrows, and I even shot a deer."

Putao is a child of the royal family. When I was young, I went hunting with the royal uncle and fathers in the royal gardens in the suburbs. It seemed quite fun in my impression.But at that time, he was afraid of tanning, so he always hid with the emperor's grandmother and slacked off, and the number of times he got on a horse was very few.However, he did shoot a few prey such as deer and rabbits, although it was with the help of the guards... But Putao has always been quite confident in his martial arts, although the incident with Xiao Zhuzi this time made him suffer. Some blows, but he felt that this was just an accident, and it was because the gangsters were too treacherous, otherwise he would not have lost.

"Great, thank you Brother Fang, Xiaoyi really wants to eat meat." Thinking of the fat and tender rabbit meat, Tang Zhengyi couldn't help but salivate.

Life in the countryside is poor, and it is very rare to eat meat at ordinary times.The chickens raised in the yard are reserved for laying eggs. The Tang family has no pigsty or pigs. There is only one old yellow ox that is used to plow the fields, and it is impossible to eat it. I followed the people in the village and walked for a whole day in an ox cart, and went to the small town outside the mountain to cut a few catties of meat.There is a hunter in the village, who occasionally gets extra meat, Tang Zhengyan will bring something to exchange for some, but usually he seldom eats it.

After listening to Tang Zhengyi's words, Putao realized that since she was rescued by the Tang family, she had only eaten a stewed hen in the past two months when she was recovering from her injuries, and she had never eaten meat since then.

He was deeply shocked!The fourth young master of his majestic Prince Jing's Mansion, the future prince of the county, has not eaten meat for such a long time?

Thinking of this, Grape's appetite suddenly became uncontrollable, and his stomach was screaming for the taste of meat.

No, I can't take it anymore!

"Zhengli, don't wait a few days, let's go to the mountains to catch rabbits this afternoon."

Tang Zhengli was taken aback, patted his head and said, "But I have to study and write in the afternoon."

Putao bumped him with his arm, and whispered: "It's okay to take a day off once in a while. You see, Xiaoyi has lost weight recently. Children are growing up. If they don't eat meat, they won't grow taller. Don't think I don't know. You haven't practiced your handwriting much in the afternoon, and you've been sleeping on the table. I see that Zhengyan is also very busy these days, so he doesn't care much about you."

Tang Zhengli said: "That's because the eldest brother knew that we have been working hard recently and we were so tired that we couldn't bear it, so he turned a blind eye. But if you deliberately don't study and go to the mountains to play..."

"Why do you go to the mountains to play? We are hunting and supplementing food for the family. It is said that spring grows in summer and autumn harvests in winter. This season is the time when we should eat meat to replenish our body. Zhengyan is about to enter the city for an exam. Well, when he leaves, there will be only you two little ones left at home, and you won’t be able to eat anything good. Since there are plenty of prey in the mountains, don’t delay, let’s go in the afternoon!”

Putao has made an agreement with Tang Zhengyan that she will go with Tang Zhengyan when he goes to the city for the exam in September to see if he can find relatives.If it doesn't work, he can pawn the sword first and go to the nearest state and county instead, and then he will leave the Tang family.

Putao didn't wait for Tang Zhengli to think about it, and said, "That's it!"

Tang Zhengli was so tempted by his instigation, he didn't say anything else.
