Fate with you

Cui Yunji felt that she was really unlucky to suffer such an indiscriminate disaster.

The famous Cui family has been prominent since the previous dynasty, even if it has been more than a hundred years now, it is not as prominent as it was then, but there is still a foundation in the end.She is the most hopeful child of this generation, a noble daughter who grew up in the hands of her parents and elders, when did she suffer such cruel flesh and blood.

It had been two days, and she was lying flat on the couch, even though she was motionless, her whole body was still in severe pain, not to mention the excruciating pain of being tortured.

Jin Yiwei's torture really lived up to its reputation.

Cui Yunji who woke up in the morning felt unbearable pain when she moved a little, so she couldn't help laughing wryly.

There were soft footsteps beside my ears.

Cui Yunji was refreshed, her breathing slowed down, her chest rose and fell slowly following the even pace of the visitor.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps approached her eyes, Cui Yunji opened her eyes, and saw Wanniang coming in with a medicine bowl.

She glanced at the couch first, and found that she was awake, so she smiled and asked, "Is it better today?"

Living in Cui's residence for more than two years, Wanniang seldom saw Cui Yunji. On the one hand, they didn't have much contact with each other, and there was no reason to meet her. On the other hand, Cui Yunji thought so too.In this way, there is a tacit understanding between the two, and the number of meetings can be counted on the fingers.

Until the prison disaster suddenly came, Cui Yunji came back with scars all over her body.If you don't know, that's all. Now that you know, it's too unreasonable not to go to greet the master who is living in the mansion.

"It still hurts. Lord Shangqing said it was just a flesh wound, but it hurts so badly. I really doubt whether her medical skills are really as superb as the world claims." Cui Yunji said listlessly, but her eyes couldn't help following Wan Niang's figure.

She didn't have much fun during her recovery period, the most important thing was to see Wanniang's pleasing demure and gentle gestures.It's not that no one came to visit her, she was very popular, many colleagues, old relatives, and old friends from the Imperial College all came to visit her frequently, but she was really powerless, and she really didn't want to drag her wounds around. He had to go to a social event, so he asked the housekeeper to leave a name card, and they all rejected it with excuses.Let her be quiet.

But it was too quiet, and equally boring.Fortunately, Wan Niang will come to see her.Unlike others, she never makes people feel noisy and annoying.

Cui Yunji's complaints were really childish, Wanniang couldn't help laughing, and brought the medicine bowl to the bed: "The medicine is ready, so I'll bring it with you, drink it while it's hot."

It's really... It's raining when the house leaks.Medicines, of course, are not good to drink, but this time it is especially bad, bitter and astringent, and it still feels numb after drinking, which makes people feel nauseous.Cui Yunji raised her head slightly, touching the wound on her body, making her frown, she took the medicine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, then lay back, pursed her lips, and just waited for the bitterness to pass.

Wan Niang didn't say anything, she put the empty medicine bowl back on the tray, and sat in a place not far from the bed as in the previous two days, intending to sit down for a while, and then she left.

When she recovered, Cui Yun turned her head to look at Wan Niang, and seeing the position she was sitting in, she smiled and said, "Every time you sit there, you don't look distant, and you don't want to get close. You always treat people like this." Are you as cautious and defensive as you are?"

People who have been in the officialdom for a long time always have sharp eyesight, and can easily penetrate some appearances and touch the essence.

Being caught off guard, Wan Niang was suddenly uneasy, but soon, she became at ease again.Now, what else is there to be afraid of?What's more, Master Cui didn't see her in the past, but judging from the attitude of the servants in the mansion who never showed any negligence in the past two years, she should have often asked her family to treat her kindly.Master Cui is a good person, she didn't take precautions against her, it was just a habit cultivated over the years.

Wan Niang smiled good-naturedly, and said gently: "Maybe it is. My lord has steady eyes."

When she said this, Cui Yunji couldn't help becoming interested. She had always been curious about Wan Niang, but she always felt that this woman was dangerous, and she always inadvertently attracted her closer. This emotion beyond her control made her extremely uneasy. He deliberately kept a distance from Wan Niang.

But now, this curiosity seems to have surpassed her self-control.Like a spring bud that breaks through the ground, although it looks young, it is tenaciously absorbing all nutrients, and is desperately drilling out.

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with the illness, so it's good to pass the time.

Cui Yunji propped her back on the couch, trying to sit up.Wan Niang stepped forward, gave her a hand, and dragged the side pillow to her back to make her lie down more comfortably.

Leaning on, Cui Yunji let out a long sigh of relief, closed her eyes, waited for the sharp pain to subside, then opened her eyes and smiled, "I don't know how long it will take to raise it, it's nice to be idle occasionally, always lying like this is torture." gone."

"My lord is used to being busy, so I'm not used to being idle suddenly." Wan Niang said, her tone was always soft, and her words were always neither close nor sparse.

Cui Yunji suddenly thought of a question she had always been thinking about before. She had won a favor from Lin Tan, and because Lin Tan was dead at that time, she was not allowed to retreat and accepted Wan Niang to live in her house.There is no doubt about it, it's just an exchange, and Wan Niang has also been kind to her, so she is happy to take care of her.

But how long will Wan Niang stay in her home?

Nobody ever said that.The dead Lin Tan never said it, and Wan Niang never mentioned it, and she never asked.Now, she suddenly thought, would one day Wanniang bid farewell to her and go to another place?

After all, this is not her home, after all, they are not very familiar with it.

Wanniang noticed that Cui Yunji's eyes looking at her became far away for an instant, and she didn't look at her seriously, Cui Yunji soon smiled kindly: "Don't be so polite, speaking of it, we have lived under the same roof for more than two years. Now, you treat me like a family member, so call me Yunji."

Wan Niang said according to her words: "Yun Ji."

One could tell at a glance that she didn't take her words to heart.Cui Yunji didn't have to force her, and continued: "I heard from the steward that you are always in the courtyard and rarely go out. The people of this dynasty are cheerful and not restrained. You might as well go out for a stroll as long as you bring enough servants. It's all right. If you have any expenses, you can just get them from the cashier." After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips and smiled when she thought of the box full of bank notes, "However, I think you are not short of money."

Wan Niang didn't answer the second part of her sentence, she just said: "You have taken care of me, I don't lack food and clothing, and I don't need anything else."

Hearing that she was not keen on going out, Cui Yunji didn't say anything more, just smiled and said: "You are really easy to raise."

Wan Niang bowed her head and smiled, for a person whose life is like duckweed, as long as there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain is enough, there is no other requirement.

A few days later, the wound on Cui Yunji's body looked hideous, but it didn't hurt much.The medicine Mu Sheng gave her healed from the inside, from the deepest part first, and the effect was astonishing.

When she starts to improve, Wan Niang will not be very popular.Extremely knowledgeable and always knows where he is.

Probably, no matter how much the Cui Mansion treats her kindly, no matter how coldly they treat her, as far as she is concerned, she is ultimately dependent on others, right?

Cui Yunji felt that she was too idle, and began to think about these things.She is alone and has no relatives or friends. She lives in a small courtyard in Cui's mansion. Doesn't she feel that it is safe to live under the fence?

After all, it has nothing to do with her, she just needs to tell the housekeeper from time to time, as she did in the past two years, not to let Wan Niang be slighted.

In this way, it is enough.

However, I thought so, but there seemed to be a hurdle in my heart, and I couldn't get through it no matter what.

A few days later, the emperor sent his servants to her mansion and gave her some valuable utensils.Cui Yunji saw that there was no official letter, and the servant who came didn't say anything else, so she knew that His Majesty came to thank her on behalf of Shangqing.

Cui Yunji took those utensils and shook her head slowly in her heart, those two people are really enviable.Shangqing is very lucky.

Young Master Mu Xiong.Many years ago, His Majesty had acquainted with her in common clothes, and she loved her confident mind, so she secretly admired her in her heart, but that admiration was cut off before it took root. She is not an ignorant person, and knows what she wants , knowing that he couldn't afford anything, he wisely chose to keep silent.

However, with the passage of time and years of wandering in the intriguing officialdom, I still miss the pure heart at that time in my heart.Purity is the rarest and most precious thing.

After the waiter left, Cui Yunji looked at those utensils.They are all high-quality treasures, and many of them can be called treasures.Cui Yunji saw a jade bracelet, beautiful jade from Lantian, green and translucent, cool to the touch, with a faint radiance.

Cui Yunji tried it on her wrist, then took it off again, she thought Wanniang was more suitable.

After staying in the room for so long, if you don't walk around, your bones will become stiff.After Cui Yunji said to herself, she took the bracelet and went to Wanniang's place.

If she doesn't come to see her, then she will look for her.

Wanniang's life is the same, but she enjoys it herself.

When Cui Yunji arrived, Wan Niang was bending over in front of a cluster of blooming chrysanthemums to pull out wild weeds.

People are thinner than yellow flowers.This was Cui Yunji's first thought.

She stood on the steps outside the courtyard and stared for a long time. After Wanniang straightened up, she pretended to be just here and walked in the door.

Seeing her suddenly approaching, Wan Niang was not surprised and said with a smile, "Sit there first."

A low table and a seat were placed under the shade of a tree not far away.Cui Yunji went over as she said, and sat on the ground.Wan Niang put the pulled weeds aside, there was already a lot piled up there, judging from the emerald green and moist appearance, it should be pulled not long ago.

After clapping her hands lightly, Wan Niang walked into the room, and when she came out again, she held a kettle and two teacups in her hands.

She has a faint fragrance of green grass, which does not conflict with her gentle temperament, but makes her look more lively.

After she sat down beside her and poured two more cups of tea, Cui Yunji gave her the bracelet in her hand and said: "Your Majesty gave it to me. I like it at first glance. I think it fits your temperament very well, so I brought it to you. gone."

A flash of refusal flashed in Wanniang's eyes, and Cui Yunji said before she opened her mouth, "Seeing that I am eager to bring it to you, you must not refuse."

She said so, what else could Niang Wan do?I had to take it.
