Chapter 63: Recuperation
"This ...... Can you inherit the knighthood?" Cheng Qiao asked weakly.
Cheng Qiao is not very clear about the terms and conditions of the ancient family, and the knowledge she knows comes from the common sense of those palace fighting mansions and fighting texts that are popular on the modern Internet, and the mess and unsubstantiated common sense such as the distinction between the concubines and concubines, so the questions asked are a little taken for granted, which made Zhu Xing look at her strangely: "Why not?" It was the death of King Ning, who rebelled and was degraded, that made him, the concubine, inherit the prince's ......." The people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and it is a great kindness to inherit the throne, but unfortunately I am not satisfied with wanting to win the world, and the result is ...... Of course, Zhu Xing only said this in his heart, and did not tell Cheng Qiao.
Sweat...... It was she who was lonely and made a joke.
"When my father was seriously ill for a long time, he had long since taken care of the affairs of the house, and I was in Beijing, so some people in the house naturally had thoughts that they shouldn't have......" Zhu Xing said, his face sank, and he was a little congested when he thought of his eldest brother, his heart was higher than the sky and his life was thinner than paper, and he looked high on weekdays as if everyone in the world owed him.
can clearly know his route back to Guangyuan, and the time is so accurate, I am afraid that he will also be nailed by him, he dares to take risks and gamble, I am afraid that his father will also be more auspicious. Thinking of this, Zhu Xing's heart was full of worry, now that the guards and loyal servants in his palace were scattered, he didn't know the situation in the palace, and he couldn't go back rashly, it was better to ...... He glanced up at Cheng Qiao.
Cheng Qiao listened to Zhu Xing and muttered in his heart: This is the realistic version of the house fight! Later, Zhu Xing didn't speak and only looked at himself with his afterglow, Cheng Qiao asked, "What are your plans in the future?"
"I'm ......" Zhu Xing was waiting for this sentence, "My injury hasn't healed yet, so I can only disturb the girl's mansion a lot! Since the girl has saved Zaixia's life, she might as well send the Buddha to the west and take in some more time!" He arched his hand to Cheng Qiao, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he smiled like a fox.
Somehow, Cheng Qiao couldn't help but think of He Yan's appearance in her mind, shook her head, scattered the image in her mind, and muttered in a low voice: It must be because she looks too similar that she has an illusion.
In the following days, just like Zhu Xing said to Cheng Qiao, he recuperated his injuries in Zhuangzi peacefully. And then...... With one more picky uncle, the life of the people in the house will not be easy.
The weather is getting hotter day by day, after entering the middle of summer, the room is so hot during the day that it can't stay at all, Cheng Qiao asked Cuiru to find a shady place in the backyard to cool off, move a rocking chair, put a small few next to it, and put aside a plate of peach flesh in sugar water, all of which are newly picked peaches in the mountains, peel and remove the pit, cut the flesh into pieces and cook it with honey, and eat it after it cools, which is a modern canned sugar water.
Cheng Qiao lay on the chair, and Cuiru sat on a small stool on the side, holding a fan in her hand to repel mosquitoes. The chair swayed a few times, and after a while, he fell asleep. Originally, I only planned to take a nap, but I didn't expect to sleep until the sun went down as soon as I slept in my sleep.
Napping generally can't sleep for too long, and after a long time, you will love to dream when you fall into a deep sleep. Cheng Qiao dreamed that she was back in the modern era, He Yan opened the sky, she sat in the passenger seat, the two of them looked relaxed, occasionally talking and laughing, but she didn't expect the world to suddenly turn upside down, she felt that she was thrown into the sky, the ground cracked a huge hole, He Yan sat in the big white and fell. Cheng Qiao reached out with difficulty and tried to catch him, but in the dream, she couldn't move at all, and could only watch He Yan fall into the big hole.
He Yan ...... No, get out of the car!" she yelled frantically with tears in her eyes, but it was all in vain.
He Yan ...... He Yan!" Cheng Qiaomeng opened his eyes, and in the hazy eyes of tears, he saw He Yan's handsome face, and hugged him with open arms.
"Ahem, Miss Cheng......" Zhu Xing had something to do with Cheng Qiao, and heard the servant say that she was in the backyard to cool off, so he walked over, but he didn't expect Cheng Qiao to sleep unsteadily, and the nightmare was still something, his hands kept waving, as if he wanted to hold something, and he kept babbling in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was saying.
There is a difference between men and women, and Zhu Xing can't wake her up, so he can only stand aside and wait for her to wake up, completely unexpectedly that she will suddenly throw herself into her arms. With the warm fragrance in his arms, the young man's face turned red to the base of his neck.
Cheng Qiao also came to his senses in an instant: Yes, she is now in ancient times, and He Yan is in modern times. She must have been in a daze, mistaking Zhu Xing for He Yan! Hurriedly let go of her hand and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm dazed!"
The girl's face was flushed, and there were tears on her long eyelashes, like freshly picked peaches that had been brought by the servant this morning, and were still stained with dew. Zhu Xing felt that his heart was rippling, and the ghost sent him out his hand, his fingers touched the thick eyelashes, and gently wiped away the crystal clear tears.
Cheng Qiao didn't expect him to do this suddenly, and he didn't know what to say with his mouth open, so he was so stupid and stunned.
Zhu Xing's hand stiffly stayed in place and forgot to take it back, and his heart was full of chagrin: How could he do such a thing?
Just when the two of them were embarrassed, Cuiru appeared at the right time, breaking the atmosphere between the two.
Cheng Qiao reacted first, straightened his face, and asked angrily, "Cuiru, where have you been?"
Cuiru was startled, and replied with a sad face: "Girl, don't be angry. I saw that it was not early, so I went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and when I saw that you were sleeping again...... So Xiang can't bear to wake you up!"
"Forget it. Cheng Qiao waved his hand at her and emphasized, "Next time this happens, remember to wake me up first!"
Cuiru immediately burst into tears and laughed: "Girl, I know." ”
Taking advantage of the time between the master and servant to speak, Zhu Xing took his hand back, and the remaining wetness on his fingers made him feel an indescribable strangeness in his heart.
After Cheng Qiao finished training Cuiru, he asked Zhu Xing again: "Do you still have anything to do with me?"
Zhu Xing came back to his senses and said to her: "I heard from the people in the house, there is no curfew tonight, and there is a lantern festival in the town, I wonder if the girl is willing to go with me?"
"Huh?" "Night tour, Cheng Qiao was a little curious, and a little hesitant, and didn't know whether to agree or not for a while.
However, Cuiru listened to Zhu Xing's words, her eyes became bright, and she looked at her with a look of longing, if Cheng Qiao didn't nod, she was afraid that she would pull her sleeves and be coquettish: "Girl, let's go, let's go!"
Finally, he nodded his head.
When night fell, Cheng Qiao and his party also came to the town, and it was really lively. The shops on both sides of the road all come out to set up stalls, and all kinds of small shops along the street are placed with all kinds of melons and fruits, as well as needles and threads, and there are also small gadgets such as lanterns.
Cheng Qiao found out for the first time that there were so many people in Taowu Town, and what surprised her even more was that the crowd coming and going was mostly girls of her age, and of course there were some little boys who had originally run there, she asked with wide eyes: "Cuiru, what day is today?"
"Girl, you're sleepy again...... It's Lan Night!" Cuiru replied.
"Lan Ye?" Cheng Qiao muttered in a low voice, "What the hell is Lan Ye?" the more he talked, the more confused he became. ”
Zhu Xing, who was walking beside her, saw that she was still ignorant, so he said: "Today is the Qixi Festival of Qixi and Qiaoqiao!" As he spoke, he opened the folding fan he bought from an unknown stall in his hand, shook it a few times in a fashionable manner, and read: "The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man travels all the way to the dark." As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world. Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, endure the return of the Magpie Bridge......"
Before I finished reading, I received Cheng Qiao's white eyes.
It turned out to be the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day! Cheng Qiaoxin said, modern people are popular for Christmas, Valentine's Day or something, in recent years, some businesses are also hyping up the traditional Chinese festival Qixi for the sake of sales. Anyway, regardless of traditional festivals or foreign festivals, restaurants in major commercial districts are full, and they don't like to join in the excitement on weekdays. She hadn't seen how the ancient people spent Qixi Festival, so she pulled Cuiru to the most lively place and squeezed over, intending to see a strange look.
Zhu Xing, who couldn't pretend to be forced, stood in place in embarrassment, and finally could only shake his head and leave a sigh, put away his fan and chased after him. Seeing that he was about to catch up, a familiar figure burst out of the crowd.
Zhu Xing paused at his feet, turned around, and came to a dark and secluded corner. The figure also followed him, and after he bowed and saluted, he whispered, "Master, I finally found you!"
If Cheng Qiao was here at this time, he would definitely be able to find that the person who came was the white-faced and beardless young man who was by Zhu Xing's side that day.
"Huang Companion, there is no need to be polite outside. And tell me first about the things in the house. Zhu Xing said. He has been nursing in Zhuangzi for many days, and the injuries on his body have long healed, looking for an opportunity to come out, just to find a reliable person to help him deliver a letter to see if he can contact the people who belong to him in Xingwang's mansion, but now that Huang Jin, the eunuch who has been with him for many years, has found it, there is no need for that.
Huang Jin didn't speak immediately, but pondered before he said, "The master's day is mourning...... The old prince ...... It's gone!"
Although Zhu Xing had already made this guess in his heart, he still felt like a thunderbolt in the sky when he heard it with his own ears, and his body shook, "How is the situation in the house now?"
"Everyone in the house said that the old prince had gone, and the whereabouts of the prince were unknown, and some people were already clamoring for another prince to inherit the lord. The princess is now supporting herself in the mansion, and privately sent people to look for the master, and the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts and finally found ......" Huang Jin became more and more excited the more he spoke, wiping his tears, "Master, go back quickly." ”
Zhu Xing shook his head: "Now is not the time, when they make a big fuss and go to Zongzheng Mansion, then I, the real son of the world, will appear, see what else they can do?"
"But master, you are ...... alone outside" Huang Jin was still not at ease.
"It doesn't matter. Zhu Xing shook the folding fan in his hand, as if he had already made a bamboo in his chest.
On July 7th, the Qiqiao Festival, the night of Qixi Festival is also known as the Lan Night, there is a tradition of wearing tangram needles with colorful threads, and Cheng Qiao pulls Cuiru to the paving is to thread needles in the competition, and whoever wears the fastest and best can choose a gift. Cheng Qiao didn't understand female celebrities, and after watching it for a long time, he felt that his eyes were also spent, and when he turned around, he found that Zhu Xing, who had been following behind him, was actually gone.
Cuiru was still watching with great interest, and even a little eager to try.
Cheng Qiao tugged at her sleeve and asked, "Did you see Zhu Xing just now?"
Cuiru turned her head, looked at the left and right, and shook her head: "Girl, I didn't see Zhu Gongzi." ”
"You won't get lost, right? I don't know where to keep up with such a big person, where to find this!" Cheng Qiao muttered, looking at the endless crowd behind him, and then pulled Cuiru to resolutely plunge into it, looking for Zhu Xing in the vast sea of people.
