Chapter 142, The Human Heart (1)
The next day, Qing Huan got up early, and Cui Wei came in with a bowl of porridge and two side dishes, and was very shocked that the originally somewhat dilapidated and narrow wooden bed had become a large and gorgeous pineapple wooden bed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Miss, why did this bed change overnight?" Cui Wei put the food plate aside and touched the comfortable and soft bed in disbelief.
Qing Huan smiled, a pair of blue eyes smiled into a crescent moon and said, "It's the tiger who changed, the so-called family has an immortal, and everything is not worried"
Seeing her slightly smug look, Cui Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud, although her family was dilapidated, fortunately, her own young lady still had a powerful immortal monarch.
Qing Huan folded the quilt casually, and the silver-haired tiger-eared immortal monarch went out before dawn, muttering that he wanted to go to Huyuan to get a few bottles of peach blossoms.
"Miss, this meal is a bit shabby, you can eat it" Cui Wei put the breakfast on the table, but a bowl of porridge and two pickles of Fluttershy.
Qing Huan didn't care at all, sat at the table, smelled the fragrant porridge before taking two sips, looking very satisfied, "Cui Wei, we didn't get much better before, don't worry"
Cui Wei heard this, but her heart was sour, since the young lady was born to the present, she has indeed not been treated by the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion for a day, the old man was alive before, and at least she was still remembered in her heart, although she could not eat fine clothes and food, but the basic monthly silver to maintain her life was still there, but now there is nothing.
"Cui Wei, don't think about it, at least we still have a home, right?"
As if knowing what Cui Wei was thinking, Qing Huan picked up a small piece of pickled cucumber and put it in his mouth, and his tone was very light.
"Miss, you just don't like to fight with others, so you will let the eldest lady and the eldest lady bully like this" Cui Wei has always been straightforward, but more for the sake of Qinghuan, and she has always been unhappy for her in her heart.
Qing Huan heard this, but her heart chuckled, stopped the chopsticks, and had no intention of moving again, she always felt that the cause of her father's death was strange, and this time she came back with the determination to investigate carefully, and she must start acting as soon as possible.
When he went out, the housekeeper was hoeing grass in the courtyard, in the same simple posture as before, but the figure was a lot stiffer, which made Qing Huan's heart still tingle when he saw it, and whispered to Cui Wei beside him, "You go into the miscellaneous room and get two hoes."
The courtyard has been uninhabited for a long time, and the grass is overgrown, and it is indeed very desolate in the eyes, and there is no condition to ask someone to help at the moment, so you can only go into battle yourself.
"Cui Wei, let's go over to help Steward Liu hoe the grass" After ordering this sentence, Qing Huan took a hoe from Cui Wei's hand, Cui Wei was stunned for a moment but suddenly felt very admired for her own young lady, she always has a strong vitality and optimism to overcome all difficulties, which made her secretly admire.
Qing Huan walked to Steward Liu's side, he was concentrating on hoeing the grass as if he hadn't heard their movements, Qing Huan took a closer look, but saw that his hands were full of chilblains frozen by the cold wind, the strange thing was that even though she was so close, Steward Liu still didn't notice her? Could it be that he is deaf? Qing Huan raised his eyes but saw a very obvious scar on his ear, it seemed that everything had been explained, and it took a long time to open the door.
Standing in a daze in the cold wind, Qing Huan suddenly burst into tears, even though her father and mother are gone, there are still people who regard her as the dearest person, isn't it?
"Miss, why did you come out, it's cold and windy outside, you can go in and rest, it's enough for me here" Steward Liu finally found her standing aside, squinted his slightly cloudy eyes and glanced at her, but he pushed her into the room.
"Butler, it's okay, you're busy, I'm bored in the room anyway, it's good to hoe together" Qinghuan tried his best to clean up his emotions, but he stubbornly wanted to stay outside and hoe.
The housekeeper couldn't resist her after all, so he had to sigh and say with concern, "Okay, then miss, you have to be careful when hoeing, don't hurt your hands"
"Don't worry" Qinghuan squatted down, she used to hang out and have fun, and she had never done any farm work, and now she started to learn to do it, which was a little difficult, but she tried her best to do it well, and she also learned it well.
"Housekeeper, why don't you see Aunt Fang?" Qing Huan hoeed the grass for a long time, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he raised his eyes and carefully swept the surroundings but did not see Aunt Fang, and couldn't help but be a little confused.
"Your aunt went out after preparing breakfast, and set up a stall by the river to buy the osmanthus cake she made" Steward Liu still lowered his head and concentrated on hoeing the grass, but the words he said made Qing Huan slightly shocked, it turned out that they were all living so hard in the days when they were not there.
"Knock knock!" There was a rough knock on the door outside the door, Qing Huan and Cui Wei looked over a little puzzled, what kind of person would come and knock on the door so rudely early in the morning?
"Cui Wei, go over and open the door" Qing Huan's voice just landed, but he was pulled by Steward Liu on the side, and there were some tears in Steward Liu's cloudy eyes, and the sadness and fear of humiliation in those eyes shocked Qing Huan's heart straight.
"Miss, don't open the door, those people are the hooligans and bullies called by the eldest lady to collect the house, you can't fight them alone" Steward Liu's eyes showed a light of concern, and his expression was very worried, even as if he was facing a great enemy, and his old and weak body trembled slightly, which made Qing Huan's heart tremble.
"Butler, are they responsible for your injuries and deafness?" Worried that he wouldn't be able to hear clearly, Qing Huan raised his voice, his eyes were red, but his voice was fierce, and his fingers were clenched into fists.
"......" Steward Liu turned his head sideways and didn't speak, but it made Qing Huan more sure of what he thought in his heart.
"Cui Wei, you send the housekeeper to the room" Cui Wei commanded in an extremely calm tone, Qing Huan's eyes flashed with a very calm light, she couldn't hide from what should have come, she was not afraid.
"It's... Miss, don't be rash! Cui Wei said in a panic, afraid that she would act impulsively. Although she understands her anger, but now that Bai Cangxian Jun is not there, how can she deal with those hooligans alone?
"No nonsense, you go in and lock the door" Qing Huan made up her mind, she was not afraid of death, but she had to recover the debts owed to her by those people one by one.
Cui Wei wanted to say more, but was shocked by Qing Huan's majestic eyes, Miss's character has been like this since she was a child, once the matter is decided, the nine cows can't be pulled back, she knows her temperament very well, and it is useless to persuade her.
Cui Wei was so anxious that he stomped his feet, but there was no way, seeing Steward Liu on the side standing aside in a daze, it must be because he was deaf, so he didn't hear what they said, Cui Wei was also worried that he was already injured, so he walked up to him and coaxed him and said, "Butler, you don't have to worry, let's go back to the room to rest for a while", so Cui Wei took him slowly to the room, but his heart was anxious, he still had to go back to the room and think about how to contact Bai Canggongzi.
