53. Remuneration
Zhenshu is actually not cold, but Yu Yichen's own body is cold, or she thinks she is also cold. Zhenshu couldn't bear to brush him off, and sneezed three times in the gray velvet blanket. She reached out to take off the sheepskin boots, but Yu Yichen reached out and took them off for her and put them back on the plate. Zhenshu was a little stunned, shrunk his feet and said, "My feet are also too big, and it is rare to find suitable and beautiful shoes." โ
Yu Yichen stretched out his hand and pulled her feet in the palm of his hand, he was a man after all, his palm was big and his fingers were long, he covered her feet and said, "But they are healthy and flexible." โ
The cold air of his fingers seeped into the soles of her feet through the socks, making her shiver. Zhenshu felt a little pity for the coldness of his bones, and he also coveted the heat generated by the natural yang energy of her feet from the body's body temperature, so he kept holding it.
"Only you are given by your parents from heaven and earth, everything from head to toe, don't let it down." He said suddenly.
In the end, Zhenshu twitched his foot first, and then he got up and sat down behind the big case.
Sun Yuan sent in a bunch of things, one of which was a half-foot-long box with a few finger-sized fire seals, and sent a bunch of letters, Yu Yichen used a red pen to comment, and then melted the paint and sealed, and became a secret letter, and finally Sun Yuan took it away.
Zhenshu didn't care about it, and he started to read it from the country of drinking, until he read it until the holy monk traveled to the country of Cao north of the green ridge, and then he closed the book. Seeing that Yu Yichen was still busy buried in the envelope, he got up and took the blanket and said, "The little girl is done, it's time to go." โ
Yu Yichen didn't look up: "Take away the boots, shoes and skirt, it's your reward." โ
Zhenshu was thinking about how to get rid of these things, and when he heard this, he had to swallow the words back. changed his skirt that had been dried by Sun Yuan, and handed these things to Sun Yuan. Sun Yuan had already prepared a thin leather box for her, and personally sent her to the door with an umbrella before she took the Yufu carriage home.
Because Zhenshu has often accompanied Song Anrong to collect calligraphy and paintings outside, and now she is in charge of the bank's money. Although Su Shi saw her come in with a delicate box, he didn't ask much. Zhenshu went back to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, moved the box and opened it, took out the pair of embroidered shoes and looked at them carefully, and after reading them, he took out the little boots and put his hand into them, squeezing the tenderness of the leather velvet into it little by little.
Who knew that Zhenyuan suddenly walked in, saw it and asked, "Such a good thing from there?" โ
Zhenshu hurriedly accepted it and said, "Look, it's sold in the West Market." โ
Zhen Yuan took advantage of her inattention and snatched it over and took a closer look: "I'm afraid not, such a good thing, where will there be such a good thing on the market?" โ
Zhenshu took it and pretended not to care: "There are no good things on the market, it's just that you don't shop." โ
Zhen Yuan was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of that Zhang Rui?" โ
Zhenshu saw that her cheeks were shy, obviously emotional, so he bit his lip and smiled: "It's all you, after all, there is Xi Shi in the eyes of my lover, and I am a bad mouth, I'm afraid that I will make you angry by saying something unpleasant." โ
Zhen Yuan's eyes widened and said, "If you think he is not good, you can say it, after all, you have seen more people than us." โ
Zhenshu thought for a while before he said: "If you want me to say, he is a little low-pleasing mother, and he also has some gentle interest in you. It's just that it's like this for one day, it's not an exaggeration for a hundred days, and it's good to be like this for a lifetime. Besides, whether he wants to become a son-in-law or open an ancestral hall to register his name has not yet been decided, and his sister still wants to pay her sincerity first, and wait until there is a conclusion. โ
Zhenyuan nodded deeply, as if she had listened, and said: "Zhenxiu is now learning to be obedient, and she refuses to take a step out of the ordinary door, and she does embroidery work in the house all day long, so I feel distressed." โ
Zhenshu also sighed: "I'm afraid she will have a long memory." โ
The two gossiped for a while before Zhenyuan left. Zhen Shufu took out the skirt again and looked at it carefully, the dark lines on the cloth under the candlelight flowed, it was a good texture she had never seen. She suddenly remembered what Yu Yichen said while holding her feet, threw her skirt and said, "He is a eunuch, I'm afraid that he is in the palace like this, serving those ladies all day long." โ
Thinking of this, he kicked away from the box of things as if disgusted, covered his head and fell asleep.
In the blink of an eye, in May, Song Anrong had finished writing, and he also learned to draw the Heavenly Master Talisman. These things are not fashionable in the countryside of Huixian County, and Wang's mother is a local, but she insists on making a statue of Zhang Tianshi with mud, pinching Ai as his head, and using garlic as a fist, and holding a vivid clay figure. Su Shi also smoked the feet of a few girls to increase yang and dispel yin.
When Zhenshu was in the middle of the framing, he was also busy cutting calamus and ginger in the backyard patio, and apricots, plums, plums, etc. into fine filaments, soaked in honey to make centiphes. The five heavy sections are coming, and the horn dumplings, cone dumplings, and rice dumplings are ...... Prepare some of them, and pile them all on plates, as high as the yards of hills.
On the night of the second day of the fifth month, Yu Yichen was in the house. Huang Feng, the former Gyeonggi Inspector and Inspector of the Inspectorate, was no longer human, and before he met the eunuch who was not male or female, he looked at himself with a sneer on his lips as thick as a woman, and said: "I don't believe that the Holy One can let you, a eunuch, mess around and slaughter Zhongliang, I want to see the Holy One." โ
Yu Yichen said: "In fact, you can't see anyone except me." In my place, there is a saying that early death and early transcendence are born, and those who are stubborn do not suffer too much. โ
Huang Feng still shook his head, blew his bloody sticky beard and shook his head: "I don't believe that Wang Zhen, Xu Congwen, Du Wu and others will let you โกโก me here and do nothing, I advise you, this eunuch, to let me out as soon as possible, when the Qing monarch kills the eunuch, or I can give you a whole corpse." โ
The little eunuchs brought bowls of medicinal soup, one pulled Huang Feng's hair, the other pinched his nose, poured it down, took the soup bowl and retreated. Yu Yichen summoned a little eunuch to come in and asked in a low voice, "Have all the people in his house been arrested?" โ
The little eunuch said: "It's all right, now it's all downstairs." โ
Yu Yichen said: "Then bring it up, kill me one by one in front of him, start with the woman, the old and the young, and tell him to take a good look at his five generations in the same hall." When he is willing to recruit, he will ask him to write it out and press his handprint, and tomorrow he will ask Mei Xun to fetch it for me and put it on the bookcase. Don't disturb me tonight, I have something to do. โ
Huang Fengyun had a belly of talent and momentum, and wanted to have a good argument with Yu Yichen, and the eunuch dog he scolded was bloody. Who knew that Yu Yichen didn't even want to say a word, and glanced at him like a skinny hungry dog walking through the street and turned to leave.
The five generations he was proud of were in the same house, from great-grandfather to great-grandson, and the harmonious and happy family was shattered in Yu Yichen's words. Huang Feng didn't even have a cursing tone, but in half an hour, these little eunuchs with yellow hair on their mouths and thin arms and legs had not yet grown together, and they used scrambling tricks to prove to him how easy it is to destroy the five generations of the same house, he looked at the corpse on the ground with a dull gaze and said: "I am guilty, I confess!" โ
Yuyi went to the small building and washed and changed into a royal blue robe, saw Sun Yuan waiting beside him, and asked, "Are things ready?" โ
Sun Yuan bowed down and said, "It's all ready." โ
The two little eunuchs in the back came in with a long case, and Yu Yichen saw the shiny glutinous rice soaked in the pipe, and praised it first: "Very good!" โ
Sun Yuan smiled, saw Yu Yichen take a palm leaf with two fingers and twisted it with his hand, filled it with white rice, and asked in a low voice: "In addition to red dates, we also prepare bean paste, bacon meat, egg yolk lotus paste and other things here, can my father-in-law bring some over?" โ
Yu Yichen shook his head: "Zongzi, naturally, only red dates are the best." โ
He wrapped four of them out and tied them in rows, looked at them with his hands, and secretly said in his heart: The little shopkeeper can eat about two, and I only have one, so it's good to have one more.
"Sun Yuan!" Yu Yichen was still staring at the zongzi: "Call Mei Xun in." โ
Mei Xun came into the building, and when he saw this zongzi, he was also a little frightened, and bowed his hand and asked, "What's the matter with my father-in-law?" โ
Yu Yichen took Sun Yuan's purple fish talisman and threw the Ouchi fish talisman to him and said: "Pass my order, the canal will be closed from the fifth watch tomorrow morning, and ships will not be allowed to pass regardless of public or private urgency." โ
The closure of the canal is a big deal, and it is around the Dragon Boat Festival, and the local state capitals pay tribute to the court, and the merchants from all over the country have to transport goods into Beijing on this day.
Mei Xun naturally didn't dare to disobey, and asked in a low voice, "How long will it be sealed?" โ
Yu Yichen still stared at the zongzi and smiled, and said for a long time: "I'll talk about it then." โ
On the third day of the fifth month, it should be the day to go to Yufu to study. Zhenshu had been restless since the morning, so he took a food box and put some rice dumplings and 100 heads of grass for preparation, but after a while, he took them all out and still put them on the plate. She went upstairs to change the cherry peony lotus half-arm, with a light green tulle skirt, especially felt a little monotonous, and found a bud-colored shawl on her shoulders, then went downstairs, made up some excuses for Song Anrong, thought for a long time, still put the zongzi head grass into the food box, and went out.
Seeing the festival, the East Market is now a prosperous and lively time. Zhenshu carried a skirt in one hand and a food box in the other, and only then did he leave the East Market, and saw Yu Yichen's carriage parked from a distance. She couldn't take a step in this skirt today, so she slowly walked to the front, and saw Yu Yichen lift the curtain and stretch out a hand.
She took the cold hand into the carriage, placed the food box on the side, and the carriage was already walking.
Because Yu Yichen didn't ask, Zhenshu didn't say anything, only when the car stopped and lifted the curtain, Zhenshu saw that this was not the Jade Mansion, but the canal outside Beijing. Yu Yichen got out of the car first, and then asked Zhenshu's hand to get her out of the car. Zhenshu asked suspiciously, "Why not the father-in-law's mansion?" โ
Yu Yichen said: "Reading doesn't have to be in the house. โ
Zhenshu got out of the car with him, and saw that there was no one on the official road by the canal, and there was no boat walking on the canal, and he felt a little strange in his heart. When the two of them returned to Beijing, when they passed by the canal, the boats came and went, and the shore was also a good place for selling and catching markets. Then he asked, "Why is it so lonely today?" โ
Yu Yichen smiled slightly: "I'm afraid everyone has returned home for the Dragon Boat Festival, right?" โ
