CHAPTER XVI
Under the faint light, Fu Chen's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of soft light, Shao Huachi looked at the ground in a daze, patting his back lightly, the other party's voice carried a kind of magic, which could soothe the irritable feelings. Before entering the profession, psychological counselors will conduct professional training in articulation, speech speed, voice, tone, etc., and after the professional relationship, they can meet a variety of patients, first of all, they must be able to calm the other party's mind, so that they can have a normal conversation, and then slowly guide the patient to understand it deeply.
The shouting and furiousness gradually stopped, and in this environment that was not at all good, the two hugged each other as if there was a warm atmosphere.
When Fu Chen took the person out of the firewood room, he said gently: "Turn around, don't look at it." β
Shao Huachi tilted his head and pestered Fu Chen, who repeated it patiently.
Sure that Shao Huachi would not see this violent side, Fu Chen's gentle expression was lifted and he walked to the firewood room.
There is basically no firewood in the palace, because I am afraid of running water. In addition to the dining room and some small kitchens in the main hall, there are almost no chimneys to find, and the Chonghua Palace with a small kitchen was also prosperous for a while, but now the small kitchen is temporarily idle, and the firewood room is naturally abandoned together, and it has not been repaired for many years and has become dilapidated.
When he came to the firewood room, Fu Chen's sharp eyes were like a cheetah, exuding a cold light in the dark night.
Taking a deep breath, he lifted one leg and slammed it towards the dilapidated wooden door.
Smack!
The wooden door made a mournful roar, Fu Chen's foot was fast and fierce, and he came a few times before the door was overwhelmed and fell, looking like Shao Huachi had gone crazy and kicked himself.
He couldn't be like last time, when nothing happened, and stuff Shao Huachi back to such a place for a day and a night.
The loud noise made Shao Huachi, who was originally stunned, suddenly squat down with his head in his hands, a little afraid of Fu Chen, such a gentle person, he actually has such a fierce side.
Fu Chen didn't care about Shao Huachi's trembling, and took him directly into the main hall, more cringe than the last time Shao Huachi's whole person was even more cringe, sitting on the spot with his back hunched, not even daring to sit on the chair, only daring to touch his butt slightly, as if he could fall down from above at any time.
Fu Chen touched the top of the messy hair, held the person in his arms and combed his hair, Shao Huachi gradually got rid of the shadow of Fu Chen and got close again. Fu Chen made a basin of water, but he didn't see Shao Huachi's hair for a day, but it seemed to be all knotted, and he dipped some water and took a handkerchief to clean up the dust and debris on it. lit another candle and carefully observed his face, before Fu Chen could get closer, Shao Huachi seemed to feel extremely embarrassed, and actually pushed his head sideways, and couldn't help leaning back unwilling to show Fu Chen, "Woo woo...... Whew"
Fu Chen chuckled lightly and looked at the half of the ghost, "Be a wolf, what's the matter?" β
Shao Huachi was still hiding, not daring to look at Fu Chen.
"It doesn't seem to be completely stupid, don't cover it up, it's not like I haven't seen it, what's so embarrassing. Fu Chen insisted on picking away Shao Huachi's covered hand and examining the wound.
When facing a fool, he felt that the days in this palace were not so uncomfortable, at least he could be a normal person, and he could call himself "I".
Before coming over this time, I asked Wang Fugui to pick out some wound medicine and bring it over wrapped in oiled paper, but fortunately it was used. The tumor on Shao Huachi's face broke, the pus and blood inside dried up, and the wound was full of pits, some scabbed and some festered even more.
"Does it hurt every night?" asked Bian lightly as he washed it.
Shao Huachi didn't understand, but he was very quiet, probably remembering that this was the person who had helped him before.
Fu Chen sprinkled some medicinal powder and applied plaster, the whole process was very light, for fear of hurting Shao Huachi.
Before Fu Chen was about to leave, he once again removed all the traces of his own visit, and fed him pastries, a lot of food in early summer was easy to get rancid, and he specially asked Lao Bahu to ask for something that was not easy to break.
Shao Huachi devoured a lot of food, looking like he was hungry. The number of pastries brought this time was several times that of the previous one, and Fu Chen's chest was bulging when he came, and fortunately, no one would pay attention to how inappropriately a little eunuch was dressed.
put the rest in an inconspicuous drawer, and took Shao Huachi to recognize the place several times.
"I can't come here every day, and when I meet them in the future, you can hide and hide, and when you're hungry, you can eat the pastries I put here. He made another action of eating, and seeing Shao Huachi nodding stupidly, Fu Chen couldn't help pinching the other half of the jade-like face, even Fu Chen, who didn't care about his appearance, felt that he was very good-looking, and inherited Concubine Li's beautiful face.
I don't know if Shao Huachi listened to it, took him to the bed, covered him with a thin quilt, and told bedside stories like he did to his son in his previous life. Fu Chen's gaze stayed on Shao Huachi's ignorant and innocent face, he had watched another person fall asleep like this at the bedside, his gaze became more and more distant, as if he was in a different world......
He once told bedside stories for six years, he could search all kinds of fairy tales from all over the world until midnight when he had to go to bed early every day, he could only cook Western food, he could come back from work and concentrate on studying Chinese meals, and he could be a model worker who could arrive late and leave early every day in order to pick up his son from school.
Fu Chen will always remember the feeling of the sky falling when he received the news of his son's car accident. It was the second winter day after his wife's death, and the snow was piled up on the side of the road, and the day when the snow melted was extremely cold, clammy and cold that pierced the bone marrow. The cold and pale light of the morgue shone on his son's flesh and blood, and he couldn't remember how he walked over and stitched the torn limbs back together, nor did he remember how he collected his son's belongings, and his memory was always stuck in the wooden box containing his son's ashes, the blue-gray sky, and the cold and hard tombstone.
When he was a child, his relatives always said that his father and mother were the fate of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star, and he resisted and rebelled.
Until the last few years of his last life, he always wondered why he wasn't the one who died.
"No...... Don't cry. "The staccato voice, like babbling, a temperature that does not belong to oneself touches one's face.
Fu Chen suddenly woke up, touched his face, there was nothing, and then looked at Shao Huachi who was speaking, this was about the first time that the Seventh Prince had spoken after being stupid.
His heart warmed, and he smiled slightly, "I didn't cry, crying requires tears." β
Shao Huachi touched Fu Chen's face carelessly, and there was really no wetness at all, and then he looked at Fu Chen's eyes, and there was no longer that mournful feeling, and he looked at Fu Chen strangely.
Fu Chen seemed to coax his son, in his eyes, this prince whose IQ had degraded to a young child, was about the same as a child, and he lightly rested his hand on the other party's quilt, "Sleep, do you still want to listen to the song from last time?"
It was completely dark outside, and the warm yellow candlelight shone quietly on Fu Chen's face, Fu Chen hummed a tune softly, his speech was gentle and slow, and the warm breath flowed in this empty palace.
Until he left, he thought that Shao Huachi had fallen asleep, but he suddenly woke up and grabbed the corner of Fu Chen's clothes.
Fu Chen was stunned for a moment, looked at Shao Huachi, who was not sleepy at all, and understood what he meant, "You don't want me to go?"
Shao Huachi moved over, and half of his face was not disfigured rubbing against Fu Chen's clothes, very reluctant, like a little milk dog.
He seemed to remember what happened after Fu Chen left last time, and he didn't dare to sleep today.
Perhaps sensing Shao Huachi's mood, Fu Chen touched his hair, "Then I'm ......"
Suddenly, there was a sound of unlocking outside the courtyard gate, oops!
Shao Huachi also heard it, and he shouted, "Ah, ah, hide!"
Fu Chen quickly flashed under the only bed in the room that could hide people, and watched two pairs of feet appear in sight back and forth.
Then there was the sound of Shao Huachi struggling, and the curses of the eunuch, Fu Chen could hear from the voice, it was the horse-faced eunuch and the thin eunuch before. They seemed to have stuffed something into Shao Huachi's mouth, Fu Chen could only hear the whining sound, and then he could only see them dragging people away.
From their words, it can be analyzed that it seems to be going to the queen's Changning Palace.
It can be seen from the queen's distribution to Shaohuachi Chonghua Palace that no matter how much the queen tosses in private, it is impossible to treat the seven princes harshly on the surface.
Fu Chen looked at the empty palace and slowly walked out.
Perhaps, as Shao Huachi once said by Yeting Lake, "I thought you would pretend that you didn't see it." β
Fu Chen looked at the palace gate and said to himself, "I can only pretend that I didn't see it." β
ββJin.Jiang.Du.Family.Fa.Tableββ
In the end, Fu Chen didn't give Shao Huachi the shoe he picked up by the lake, maybe just because, he hoped it was just a coincidence.
Fu Chen came to the west corridor of Chuxiu Palace, and the show girl who ran for election in a few days came here to be lively, but now it is still empty, this is closer to the palace maid living in the West Twelve of Longyu, the West Twelve is not assigned to the palace maid collective residence, and Longyu is the name of this area when the capital was first built. The Jin Dynasty used to divide the boundaries between the east and the west, taking the imperial palace as an example, the Yangxin Palace and the Changning Palace as the central axis, the west is divided into twelve, the six supervisors of the Internal Affairs Office, the Jingshi room, the aunt's office, the dining room, the prison and other twelve areas, the east office is also divided into twelve, the harem courtyards, the imperial garden, the prince's residence, the prince's east palace and other twelve areas.
When Fu Chen arrived, Aunt Mei was already waiting there. Mei Jue saw Fu Chen, and approached with light steps, among the palace maids' manners, these aunts should be the most standard, light, soft, and skillful, and their gestures are extremely pleasing to the eye, smiling without showing teeth, and their voices are always soft and soft.
Mei Jue looked left and right, and said softly: "I thought you weren't coming, we've been a little busy there these days." β
"I'm sorry for my aunt, I went to the dining room halfway and was delayed. Fu Chen naturally also knew that Aunt Mei said about the general election, these palace maids would have to be assigned to the palace masters at that time, including their prison yard, and some people would also go to serve the new masters, Aunt Mei was stepping up the training of the little palace maids.
Mei Jue also knew the old Bahu in the dining room, and he loved to talk to Fu Chen in private, and it was not strange to hear it, "It's good to come." I heard that Li Ye was getting more and more embarrassed, and he dragged his relationship out of his own yard, and he was looking for someone to be angry everywhere, you can be careful, he doesn't like anyone now, like a mad dog. Do you still remember that Ye Xin, you took his job to serve Mu Ruida, that Ye Xin was smoked by him several times today, and his face was so swollen that he couldn't see it. I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so I let people take some overnight, do you see enough?"
The slap is a slap in the face with bare hands, and the leather fence is a slap in the face with special gloves, after the beating, it is not visible on the surface, but there is blood inside, which is a more ruthless means of punishment.
Mei Jue opened a paper bag, which was what Fu Chen had instructed her to do outside the prison yard, and she only opened a few aconitum plants that she had just picked, and then immediately closed them and stuffed them into Fu Chen's hands.
Fu Chen nodded, the two of them had an agreed private meeting, and it was not appropriate to stay for a long time.
Fu Chen stuffed the paper bag into his chest, and was about to leave but was stopped by Aunt Mei, it turned out that after the West Twelve Institute got off today, everyone helped Xiaoyang make sugar, although the vegetable household is just a name, but there are too few things that the next person can celebrate, it is difficult to come out, early in the morning, the little palace maids went to the dining room to ask for some leftovers and maltose and sesame seeds, and they made sugar food for acquaintances, and the big guys were happy.
When Fu Chen entered the West Twelfth Institute, the little palace maid walked by talking and laughing, and when she saw Fu Chen, she greeted her, everyone had seen it on weekdays, and she knew her face. Aunt Mei walked inside, and after a while there was a burst of laughter. Xiao Yang blushed and took out more than a dozen bags of sesame candy wrapped in paper and handed them to Fu Chen, "Fu Chen, please share them with everyone in the prison yard, thank you...... Thank them for taking care of Fugui on weekdays. β
The little girl blushed and handed an embroidered purse to Fu Chen, embroidered with elegant orchids, the needlework was very exquisite, and it took a lot of thought, "This is made for you, thank you for always helping the rich and noble." β
In fact, in ancient times, women gave purses to the opposite sex, not only to express their affection. The first is used to hold things, such as mirrors, tobacco leaves, etc., the second is given as a gift to relatives, friends and children on holidays, also known as sachets, and the third is used for love, which is a token of love.
Xiao Yang sent him, naturally just to express his gratitude, Wang Fugui's errand is to supervise the new eunuch's body, with his businessman's birth and the old man in the palace, he can change an errand, but he has never changed, he himself is helpless to enter the palace, in his words, he wants to give those newcomers some comfort after castration, at least let them be comfortable in their hearts, take care of them more on weekdays, and sometimes let Fu Chen replace them when they can't supervise when they have a lot of errands.
When Fu Chen came to the prison yard with a bunch of sugar, it was very lively, everywhere was cleaning the windows, cleaning and sorting out items, and there was also a big cleaning in the palace, once a quarter, at a fixed time, usually in the second half of the hour. It will take several days to clean up, and it will be finished after the eunuch in charge has finished inspecting it. Generally, during large-scale celebrations, each palace and hall need to be cleaned additionally, and the general election is also a festive event.
Fu Chenlai put the sugar on the mat, and also joined in the cleaning, and got the share of today's cleaning, everyone was tired, lying down and eating the sugar in their mouths, and kept making jokes about Wang Fugui, talking and laughing, which was also the happiest time for them every day.
At this time, Ye Xin had half of his face swollen, and he bared his teeth and poked his head inside, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly condensed.
"Yo, you eat very well. Ye Xinpi smiled and did not smile.
"Ye Xin, you don't care, if you have time, you should serve your family Li Ye more. Only Yang Sanma, the eunuch who was about to be promoted to the fourth rank, could choke with Ye Xin, he grabbed Fu Chen's hand and openly tore his face with Ye Xin.
Ye Xin's whole face was distorted after listening to Yang Sanma's words, and it took a while before he burst into laughter, skipped Yang Sanma, and pointed to Wang Fugui, "It's time to eat, enjoy it more." β
"What do you mean!" Wang Fugui hurriedly jumped up and glared angrily.
Ye Xin smiled mysteriously, but the swollen face looked a little hateful, "Fu Chen, come out." β
Wang Fugui and the others stopped him, Ye Xin laughed, "It's Master Li's order, it's useless for you to talk to me." Fu Chen, do you want me to call it a second time?"
Fu Chen comforted the other indignant little eunuchs, and said with a smile: "You eat the sugar first, and when I come back, I can't finish it, I haven't tasted much joy yet!"
The two walked out, Fu Chen looked at Ye Xin, the other party also looked at him, and laughed for a while, "I don't know if you are lucky or unlucky, how did you offend Li Ye?"
Li Ye said that it was naturally Li Xiangying.
"Let's be straight, Ye Xin, we don't have to beat around the bush. β
Ye Xin sighed, "Do you really think I want to hurt you? I see that you are not going anywhere, but I don't really want you to die." β
Fu Chen looked at him and didn't say anything, this cautious and not credulous strength of anyone was what Ye Xin feared the most.
He also restrained the regret on his face, and said coldly: "Li Ye recommended you to Liu Ye to serve the meal, long live the master." β
In the Jin Dynasty, there was a high-salary, high-reward, high-risk eunuch position, called the eunuch of the kitchen, most of these eunuchs were of no grade, and the eunuch who served the food was deployed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Li Xiangying was originally on duty in the Internal Affairs Office, and his immediate boss was Liu Zong, that is, the chief eunuch who inspected Fu Chen's stubble, after Chen Zuoren and other eunuchs a few days ago, the staff of the prison was less, and the vacancy was not filled so quickly, and the eunuch who served the meal was vacant today after his shift.
Naturally, you have to find someone to replace you, and under normal circumstances, the servants are some eunuchs who have offended some people and are put on top, and it is still a position that has no place to reason.
It is common for a little eunuch to take several errands by himself, and there is always a time when there are manpower that cannot be deployed.
Li Xiangying, who had just been released from his yard today, heard this, so he recommended Fu Chen to Liu Zong, Liu Zong had no impression of a little eunuch, so he naturally nodded and agreed, and now Ye Xin came to invite someone.
Serving food, to put it simply, is to test the poison of the meal eaten by the emperor before the emperor's entrance.
