Chapter 115: Bathing
At the beginning of the lanterns, the huge Yongning Hou Mansion hung red lights all the way, and the fiery red light was highlighting the supreme luxury and glory of the Hou Mansion.
When Cui Yiheng returned to the Yongning Marquis Mansion, it was 7 o'clock in the evening, but his house slaves were extremely surprised and curious on their faces!
Oh yes, you can't blame them!
Although he had been back in Beijing for many days, he had returned to his house every night, and he went out again at dawn.
His father, Yongning Hou Cui Chunlin, has been looking for him for many days, but he has never seen him.
As a result, in the past few days, there have been rumors in the entire capital that it is said that he, the son of the Marquis of Yongning, is a general who is not filial and unrighteous because of his military exploits, is arrogant and arrogant, and regards etiquette and religion as dung! After returning to Beijing, he has not even visited his parents! Every day, the dragon sees the head but does not see the end, loses filial piety, and cares for morality in vain!
So, when I just arrived today, who would have thought that this arrogant master would come back this time!
Even the little guys in his own yard couldn't help but be surprised when they saw him at this moment.
Yes, the boys in his yard, not the maids.
Seven years ago, Cui Yiheng kicked out all the girls in the house because of one thing, one thing that made him angry. Since then, there have been only small maids and no maids in his yard.
But after all, this is the backyard of the Hou Mansion, how can it be rude to let the little guys go in and out?
In order to avoid suspicion, he moved his courtyard to the easternmost part of the entire Hou Mansion, and opened a small door in and out of the Hou Mansion directly from the courtyard.
In this way, not only does he not have to worry about his little servant colliding with the ladies of the Hou Mansion, but it is also convenient for him to enter and exit by himself, let alone look up and see those people without looking down!
Today, he had entered the courtyard directly through the small door, but he was curious how long it would take his father to notice that he had returned home.
You know, a few days ago, I don't know if it was because he came back too late, or because his good stepmother deliberately gave him a dismount, every day he returned home to find that not only was the small door in his yard locked. Even the second gate was bolted, so that he could not go back to his yard.
As soon as I saw this posture, I knew that the people in my yard had called the good stepmother to empty it again!
He didn't have the heart to go back to the backyard, so he went directly to the study in his outer courtyard.
The guards in Cui Yiheng's study were all his own soldiers brought back from the north. There was no one but him.
Raising such twenty or so people in the courtyard of the study, his study is guarded like an iron bucket, and even a bird can't enter or leave lightly!
However, he used it comfortably. I slept comfortably, and a few days passed in a flash!
Today, the rumors have subsided, and he wants to visit his relatives on a whim!
Cui Yiheng entered the courtyard with the support of the personal guard Qingzhu.
He squinted and swept the stunned little guys, but his face showed a look of intoxication.
"Yo! I haven't come back for a few years, why don't I know one of them!"
With that, he stumbled into the main house.
"Shi Ziye drank too much! What are you doing one by one? Why don't you hurry up and make sobering tea and prepare bath water?"
"Yes, yes!" the little ones immediately scattered and began to fight one by one.
With the vigilance of the two of them, of course, it is impossible not to notice that two guys have sneaked out of the courtyard gate.
Didn't go back for a few years. It's like a world away.
The furnishings in the house have not changed, but it makes people feel extremely cold and unfamiliar.
Cui Yiheng shook his head slightly, held his head and lay down on the couch.
If he could, he really didn't want to go back to this tired and annoying home!
After a while, the decanting soup, tea, and snacks were all ready.
In the clean room, a large bucket full of hot water was also prepared.
Cui Yiheng drove out all the little guys in this house, leaving only Na Qingzhu to rest in the outer room.
He wanted to see it. This time, what kind of moths are they going to make?
Tea, pastries have tried poison one by one, and there is no problem.
He went into the clean room. Several bronze moire lamps have been lit, illuminating the clean room as bright as day.
A faint incense was curling out of the blue and white milk foot incense burner.
He approached and sniffed it carefully, it was just a pure dragon birthday incense, invigorating blood and qi, dispersing knots and relieving pain. There's nothing wrong with that.
A small man in charge of adding water was standing beside the large wooden barrel with his hands lowered and his eyes down.
Cui Yiheng removed the burden on his body after three strokes and five divisions, got up and jumped into the water.
The temperature of the water was hot, and unexpectedly some strong herbs were added to it, and he could smell the grass inside, the water...... There should be no problem, but this little guy is a little too attentive, right?
"What's your name, what's in this water?" he asked, casually as he lay comfortably in the bucket.
This hot soup is filled with cistanche, deer antlers, eucommia, cinnamon, dodder seeds, etc., which has the effect of strengthening the body and removing the lack of body!"
The slave spoke clearly, eloquently, and after speaking, it seemed that it was not complete, and then added: "The slave knows that the prince of the world works hard day and night, and works hard for the peace of my Great Zhou Guotai people! The slave respects a hero like the prince the most! Only then did he prepare this medicinal soup on his own initiative! I hope that the prince will not blame the slave for making his own opinion!"
"With a loyal subordinate like you, it's too late for me to be happy as a master, how can I blame it?" Cui Yiheng's eyelids trembled slightly, but his voice was not shocked, and Ah Bao didn't have time to be happy, but when he heard this master's tone, he suddenly changed and became a little colder, "How do you know when I come back today, where the medicinal materials came from, and when the medicinal soup was prepared for me?"
You must know that this kind of medicinal soup is time-consuming and laborious, and it is necessary to boil out the medicinal materials completely thickly, and in order to ensure the efficacy of the medicine, it is necessary to pay attention to heat preservation for a long time, and it is by no means ready for a while!
That Ah Bao seemed to have come prepared, and his voice was not slow:
"As soon as I heard that the prince had returned to Beijing, the emperor, the eldest princess and the adults gave a lot of medicinal materials to the house, and the lady also allocated a lot of medicinal materials from the treasury to replenish the body. Our small warehouse was crowded with these medicinal materials for a while.
It's a waste, and the slave also asked the Hou Ye.
asked the minions to boil the medicinal juice for the prince to bathe, which was actually what the lord meant. In addition, the slave doesn't know when the master will return home, so he can only prepare every day. Therefore, as soon as the master returns home today, he will be able to use this medicinal soup!"
Well, it's so fine! There are no small loopholes for a while!
It's a pity that the father and stepmother who care for themselves are a big hole in themselves!
"Well, the wine is coming up, and my head hurts! Add some hot water and go down! I'm going to squint for a while!" Cui Yi soaked for a while, and his face was slightly flushed.
"Yes!" Bao obediently added water and went down......
The entire inner room was quiet, the quiet environment and the strength of the wine went up, and Cui Yi began to feel a little drowsy.
In a trance, he inexplicably thought of the soft hair that Shen Moyun floated on his face today, the fragrance on her body, and her graceful smile and unfazed demeanor......
This woman is rare to be able to meet his appetite, her cold and indifferent, bottomless eyes actually lingered in his mind, firmly entrenched, and made him worry with a smile!
It's a pity! She is only fourteen years old, she is too young, otherwise, he must enter the palace and ask the emperor for marriage!
Cui Yiheng suddenly opened his eyes, what was he doing?
Why did he suddenly think of Shen Moyun?
He closed his eyes when he was obviously a little tired, but why was he even more sleepy at this time?
He scolded himself twice, but unconsciously continued to close his eyes......
Dozens of breaths passed, and he actually fell asleep!
In the dream, it is also a harsh winter, and it is also night, and the big snowflakes are like light jade butterflies dancing like drunk, fluttering and falling.
He was carrying a mutton fat jade bamboo pattern lantern and strolling through the hot spring villa in Lishan in Changning Bofu.
This is his favorite place to come, secluded, peaceful, cozy...... It's like a paradise!
Under the dim light, the bubbling heat rises on the vast and calm hot spring water, reflecting the misty green mountains and clear waters.
He calmly faded away from the black fox and strode into the warm water.
The water was unusually warm, and the cold of his body faded away in an instant.
The rising steam entered through his pores in an instant, penetrated into his texture, melted into his blood, warmed his limbs, relaxed his body and mind, and immersed his whole being in a state of comfort and comfort......
In the night sky, large dandelion-like snowflakes fell and hit his shoulders, dense and cool, and the contrast between cold and warm made his strong and sturdy shoulders shiver.
In the distance, in the haze, there seemed to be another person.
Whether the man was male or female, old or young, he couldn't see it really.
He lifted the mutton fat jade lamp high and tried to open his eyes, but only saw a hazy back in the rising mist.
The color of that person's skin was different from his own, it was unbelievably snow-white, and from a distance, it looked like a crystal clear mutton fat white jade, exuding a warm luster.
Cui Yiheng looked down at the lamp in his hand! No! The soft luster was even better than the white jade in his hand!
The man's neck was graceful and slender, with seductive curves, snow-white and slender, but elegant as the noble swan shining on the lake.
She suddenly threw off her hair, and the smooth silky hair fell from her front body to her back, just covering the large beautiful jade back and porcelain neck, so that he could no longer see through, and he couldn't help but secretly get anxious......
He involuntarily slowed down his breathing, raised his legs and walked slowly towards her, but he didn't dare to walk too fast, for fear of alarming the fairy with beautiful porcelain muscles and scaring her away.
Cui Yiheng stopped only a few dozen steps away from her, only to see her turn her head slightly, revealing her side face...... (To be continued.) )
