When I woke up again, it was already dawn.

The bamboo basket woke up very suddenly, as if the eyes felt the call of the light, and suddenly woke up, and when he saw the white light outside the bed tent, the bamboo basket secretly said that it was not good. Tear open the bed tent, kick the shoes indiscriminately, and call the sycamore and Qiuling with the bamboo basket.

The two came in response, and Wutong said, "Why doesn't the girl sleep for a while?" ”

"What time is it?" Zhu Zhen casually dragged the coat draped by the sycamore on his shoulders and said.

"Back girl, it's time to go." Wutong said as he pushed the bamboo basket back to the bed.

"It's been this hour?!" Zhu Zhen exclaimed, "Why don't you call me up?" ”

"Last night, the master instructed that the slaves and maids should not wake up the girl, but wait for the girl to wake up when she wakes up, and then serve the girl to get up." Wutong took the handkerchief that Qiu Ling had twisted and handed it to the bamboo basket.

Zhu Zhen took the handkerchief, wiped his face twice, and said, "Lord Belle came last night?" ”

"Yes, when the master came, he didn't bring a little guy with him, and no one reported him. Before the slave and maid stepped forward to wake up the girl, they were stopped by the master and ordered not to wake the girl. Wutong said while serving the bamboo basket to wash.

"When did the eighth master leave?" Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, Qiu Ling curled his hair for himself, and Zhu Zhen asked.

"When the appointment was just over the ugly, a little maid came to the slave and maid's room and said, and the master instructed the slave and maid to go over and serve." Sycamore Road.

"Why, you're back in your own room?" Bamboo Shoe Road.

"It didn't take long for the master to come in, so he drove the slaves and maids down." Qiu Ling carefully combed Zhu Zong's hair and said quickly.

"So, me?" The bamboo basket lowered his head and swept around his body, and then looked at the sycamore.

"When the slaves and maids came back to serve, they saw that the girl had taken off her embroidered shoes and blouse, and her hair was scattered, and she was lying on the bed." Sycamore said carefully.

Zhu Zhen's brain "buzzed", not afraid of being taken advantage of by him, the layers of ancient clothes, he didn't show anything on his body, but what did Babeile mean by doing this? A man carries a sleeping woman to the bed and strips and covers her with a quilt, how can this intimate act be between the "master" and the "slave"?!

Bamboo Basket's face turned green.

"Don't worry, girl, no one outside knows." Sycamore whispered.

The bamboo basket vomited blood.

Wutong said this, as if he and Babel really have something, but I am a yellow flower girl! It's like a fake!

"Got it." Zhu Zhen was deflated, and said in his heart, if he doesn't explain, the explanation is a cover-up, and the cover-up becomes a fact.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Ling whispered in her ear: "Slave and maid, congratulations to the girl!" ”

The bamboo hoop finally realized what it means to be messy in the wind, or in the northwest wind......

Although Wutong said that no one else knew about this, how could there be an impermeable wall in the world, maybe there was someone in this courtyard who was the eyes and ears of the Blessed Fortune. However, as the days passed, there was no movement on the side of Bafujin, everything was as usual, and it was so calm that Zhu Zhen was a little uncomfortable.

At noon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Babel instructed the bamboo basket to be cleaned up, saying that he was going to take the bamboo basket out of the door. Although I don't know what to do when I go out, Zhu Zhen is really excited in his heart, is this a dog that is always locked in a cage, and the owner is finally going to take himself out for a walk?

The carriage went smoothly all the way, and the people outside the car were boiling, yes, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the last noisy day of the first month, the people who had worked hard for a year, and the people who were about to start a new working life, how could they miss this last happy day?

In the past, there were fewer people, and the sound of firecrackers became louder. The carriage slowly stopped, and Sun Gui said outside: "Master, it's here." ”

Babeile didn't reply to him immediately, but said to Zhu Zhen: "I have something to do to go to the east in a while, you are waiting for me here, Sun Gui left it for you to call, and I will come to pick you up in the afternoon." ”

"Yes." I don't know where Babel settled himself, probably a place like a teahouse, but there was no sound outside, and the bamboo hoop opened the curtain and got out of the car.

Standing still, the bamboo basket looked up, but froze—it was the gate of Zakuta's house! At the same time, Babel's carriage was gone, and he didn't give Zhu Ji a chance to turn around and thank him.

"Why is the girl standing here all the time? Do you want a slave to call the door? Sun Gui saw that the bamboo basket had been standing for a long time, only staring at the plaque, and there was no movement, so he couldn't help asking.

The bamboo basket was supportive, but he couldn't give a complete reply. She was already in the palace when she crossed over, she had never gotten along with Zhu Zong's family, although she retained some memories, but it was not complete, she was now facing Zhu Zong's family, I don't know if it would be exposed, but there was an involuntary sourness lingering in her chest, that may be Zakuta Zhu Zhen's feelings.

Zhu Zhen suddenly had a feeling of "being closer to home", she was a little overwhelmed, a little afraid to knock on this door, she didn't know what kind of scene would be next, and she never thought that she would come to Zhu Zong's house so soon.

In the early morning of the East Street, a piece of red confetti after firecrackers were lit on the ground, the fresh air was still filled with the smell of sulfur and warmth, this piece of residence was all the families of powerful officials and eunuchs, so it was not as lively as the bazaar, I think ordinary people are used to getting up early, and most of these dignitaries are still asleep, or go out to visit friends.

Just as the bamboo basket was thinking wildly, the door slowly opened, and several small servants flashed out from behind the door with brooms, thinking that they had come out to clean the courtyard.

There was a little girl with sharp eyes, saw the bamboo basket standing under the steps, rubbed his eyes, and shouted: "Miss! Miss is back! Miss is back! ”

The other little guys heard him shouting "Miss", and also saw the bamboo basket, and their faces were all surprised. The bamboo basket followed the small maid into the gate, and before he bypassed the shadow wall, the little maids and maids poured in from all directions, some happened to be cleaning in the courtyard, and some of them rushed to the bamboo basket after hearing the news. Zhu Zhen was a little at a loss, but more moved, she never thought that even the people in the house liked this Miss Zakuta so much.

As soon as the people were busy greeting the bamboo basket, the bamboo basket responded with a smile one by one, and after a while, a noisy sound sounded in the backyard room, and then a bunch of people came, and the middle-aged woman who rushed in front of him thought that it was the mother of the bamboo basket.

Seeing Eniang, the intimate feeling of the bamboo basket really poured out. She walked quickly to meet Eniang, and the Eniang of the bamboo basket was already in tears. The woman hugged the bamboo basket in her arms, and the "heart" and "baby" kept screaming, and the people next to her also shed a few tears.

The bamboo basket even coaxed and persuaded the general, and only stopped the tears of the bamboo basket and refused to let go. Zhu Zhen let her hold her own hand and went all the way into her mother's house. Although she has only been away from home for half a year, Zakuta Zhuzhen is a delicate girl in the boudoir who has never been out of the house, and she is raised in the house on weekdays, and the stars are holding the moon.

Ama of Zhu Ji went out to visit friends today and was not at home. The mother of the bamboo basket took her hand and asked one sentence at a time, for fear that the bamboo basket would suffer some grievances in the palace. Finally relieved, Zhu Zhen Niang asked: "According to the rules, once the palace maid enters the palace, she can't return home, how did you come out?" Who is behind you? ”

As soon as E-Niang said this, Zhu Zhen remembered that he had just patronized and talked to E-Niang, but he had forgotten about Sun Gui, and hurriedly said: "E-Niang, wait." Saying that, he got up and opened the door, and wanted to call someone to settle Sun Gui for tea, but he didn't want Sun Gui to be guarding the door, so he said, "Why are you standing here?" I just talked to my mother, but I forgot to settle you, so let's go and rest. ”

"Although the girl talks to Fujin, the slave is here to guard the girl." Sun Guigong said.

"How? You are the person next to the eighth master, how can you be so neglected? And that's not the hospitality. Zhu Zhen shouted to the side, and the little servant led Sun Gui to rest.

Sun Gui refused to leave, and said: "Girl, the eighth master has an order, ordering the slave to stay by the girl's side every inch. ”

When Zhu Zhen heard this, he didn't want to be embarrassed for him anymore, and said, "I was about to go to my room with my mother, and I asked the maid to lead you to the ear room next to my room, can you sit there?" ”

"Yes." Sun Gui went out with the little maid, and the fragrant tea and snacks in the house were not a problem.

After returning to the house, Zhu Zhen said: "E-Niang, I want to go back to the house to take a look, E-Niang will accompany E-Niang to go over, just finish talking to E-Niang about what happened just now." The bamboo basket shook Eniang's arm and coquettishly.

Zhu Zhen got up and said, "Okay, okay, I'll accompany you over, your house is still being cleaned every day, and you can live in it now." You might come back for a day? ”

"I'm afraid it won't work, someone will come to pick it up later." Zhu Zhen shook his head and whispered.

The two of them talked to each other and went back to the house of the bamboo basket. Zhu Ji sat on the soft couch with Eniang, and explained in detail how he got out of the palace and other things. Time passed very quickly, and Zhu Zhen saw that the hour was not early, so she asked Zhu Zhen to rest in the house by herself, and went to the kitchen to prepare food in person.

Sending off Eniang, the bamboo basket stretched his waist greatly. She still had some memories of this room, and felt very familiar, so she simply lay down on the bed to make up for sleep. Although she is adaptable, she is not as good as at home, whether it is in the palace or in the Babel Mansion, she always has to worry about all kinds of things, especially worried that she will oversleep, so although she sleeps deeply, she is not tired. But at home, everything is at ease, and there is no need to worry about anything, Zhu Zhen thought, and fell into a deep sleep, and the corners of his mouth were hooked when he was sleeping.

There are no dreams, no worries, she sleeps very steadily, and when she wakes up, she only feels much more relaxed, although it is only an hour, it is more comfortable than sleeping in the palace for a night. Zhu Zhen felt that he didn't want to get up, so he just kept lying down, how wonderful it would be to lie down to the ground!

"Miss!" Just as the bamboo hoop was lying on the bed, the voice of the maid sounded outside.

"Come in." People are in a spirit, and even their voices have a neutral spirit.

The maid pushed the door in, it was Cui Xi beside Eniang, Tong'er, who originally served the bamboo basket, had already left the house and married someone a year ago.

"Miss, it's almost time to eat, Fu Jin ordered the slave maid to serve Miss." Cui Xi said.

"Okay." Zhu Zhen wrapped the quilt around himself, and then reluctantly let go of his hand, got out of bed and let Cui Xi serve him to clean his face, comb his hair again, and change his clothes.

When they arrived at the front hall, Ama and Eniang were already seated.

"Amma!" Zhuzhen's eyes lit up and he ran into the hall.

Zakuta Zhang Xian put on a straight face and said, "What kind of system do girls have!" Having said that, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

Zhu Zhen vigorously hugged Amma's shoulders and said coquettishly: "Ama doesn't want her daughter, so she reprimands people when she sees it!" ”

Zhu Zhen Ama patted Zhu Zhen's arm with his backhand, and said, "Training you is for your own good, you have entered the palace, how can this temperament be lively?" ”

Zhu Zhen quietly stuck out his tongue, restrained a little, sat on the stool next to Amma, and said to Zhu Zhen's mother: "Eniang, look at Amma, her daughter hasn't been home for months, and she doesn't care about people first when she meets, so she knows how to teach people!" ”

Bamboo Basket Ama shook her head with a smile and patted Bamboo Basket on the head twice. Zhu Zhen Eniang smiled and said: "You Ama is also for your own good, but you have to be careful everywhere in the palace." Then he said to Zhu Zhen Ama, "Master, my daughter finally came back, so you should say a few words about her." ”

Zhu Zhen Ama still smiled and said, "Are you still happy in the palace?" ”

"Happy! Concubine Niangniang and Babel Ye are very generous, I just serve the good master to study, so I have never been tired, but I have received a lot of rewards, I didn't think I could come back this time, I never brought it with me, the next time I have the opportunity, Ji'er will take it back to honor Ama and Eniang! Zhu Zheng said happily, as if he was really Zakuta Zhu Zheng, really only fifteen years old.

Ama smiled: "Ama doesn't point to your rewards, act carefully, and it is enough for people to be safe." Eniang also nodded yes on the side.

This meal was very warm, and Zhu Zhen talked about interesting things in the palace from time to time, of course, she wouldn't tell those who couldn't figure it out, and she just worried Ama and Eniang for no reason.

After eating, a family of three was in the hall eating melons and fruits, drinking tea, and talking about homely things.

After a while, a porter came to report, and the carriage that picked up the bamboo basket was waiting outside the door.

Although he was reluctant, he wanted to go back in the end, and being able to come back was already Babel's great care for himself. A small servant has invited Sun Gui over.

The bamboo basket Ama was fine, but Eniang had already shed tears again, which made the bamboo basket also red. In the end, it was Zhu Zhen Ama who said: "Go back, it's not good to ask people to wait for a long time, and remember to thank the eighth master when you go back." ”

Ama and Eniang sent the bamboo basket all the way out of the house, and on the side of the carriage, Ming Quanzheng was standing respectfully, and when he saw people coming out, he asked for peace to the bamboo basket Ama and Eniang. Zhu Ji Ama and Eniang are also busy and hard, and they are tired of taking care of Zhu Yunyun.

After all, Zhu Ji got into the car, but he didn't want to, Babel was actually in the car. She only hurriedly asked for a peace, and then couldn't wait to open the curtain, Amma, Eniang was still standing at the door, seeing the bamboo basket open the curtain, Eniang couldn't help waving her hand, the bamboo basket was also reluctant, waving her hand frequently, hindering Babeile's presence, did not dare to make a sound. Until the carriage turned a corner, he could not see his house again.

It's strange to say that it is the first time she has met with Zhuji's family, but it seems that she is really her relative, but after only half a day of getting along, she feels very sad and reluctant to be separated now.

Zhu Zhen turned around and sat down, and Babel was reading, as if he hadn't paid attention to what was going on on his side. Just when Zhu Zhen was wondering whether to thank him now, and was afraid of disturbing him, Babel put down the book and said, "How are you doing today?" ”

Zhu Zhen nodded heavily and said, "The slave and maid are on behalf of Ama and Eniang Xie Baye's grace." ”

"It's just you, Ama and Eniang? So, what about you? Babel said lightly.

Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment and said, "The slave and maid are naturally very grateful to the eighth master for his fulfillment." ”

"There are too many people who miss me, and you are not the only one missing." Babel said, his tone was still not salty.

"Then ......" Zhu Ji didn't know what to say, Babel didn't need his own thanks, so what did he want?

"It's enough for you to be happy." Babel paused for a moment, and then said, "If you want, you can go home whenever you want in the future, and I won't stop you." ”

Zhu Zhen's eyes lit up, but he said in an instant: "The slave and maid thank the eighth master for his grace, but the slave and maid know the rules of the palace very well, and the slave and maid dare not embarrass the master, this time is enough, and the slave and maid dare not ask for anything extravagant." ”

Zhu Zhen lowered his head, and Babel didn't say anything, nor did he persuade her, but just looked at her fixedly, and didn't seem to be looking at her. The scene in front of him was clear for a while, blurry for a while, but he never wanted to take his eyes off, what kind of woman is this? He seemed to think about it a lot, but his mind was blank.

In a trance, Babel pulled up a bamboo basket with one hand. Zhu Zhen was puzzled, and his irresistible movements paused when he saw Babel's expression, what was he thinking?

Babel just gently pulled the hand of the bamboo basket, he felt that his sensitive brain in the past refused to turn anymore, and his legs full of strength refused to move anymore, it was so comfortable to sit like this, so comfortable that he could not feel the existence of his body anymore.

Bamboo basket, we have been sitting together like this, walking together, okay?
