Chapter 079: Merchant in the Depths of Water
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Qiuniang asked.
Chai Yu turned his face away, waved his hand, and said, "You go." I don't want you to be in danger, and I don't want you to be a burden to me. ”
Chen Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, and there was not too much hysteria. She is a smart person, not to mention more than 30 years of life experience as a foundation. Combined with Chai Yu's words, she could roughly understand that the Zhu family must know the identities of Chai Yu and Aunt Yun, and what they wanted from Chai Yu and Aunt Yun to bring them back to Shuzhong. Aunt Yun was imprisoned, and Chai Yu could only suffer humiliation because of Aunt Yun's life and death.
Of course, Chen Qiuniang judged that the Zhu family didn't get anything, because Chai Yu was still alive.
Now Chai Yu's attitude and actions towards her, Chen Qiuniang also fully understands. He was afraid that the two would have too close contact and be known by the people of the Zhu family, which would bring her unnecessary trouble. And the people of the Zhu family may also use her to threaten Chai Yu.
"Okay." Chen Qiuniang only replied with one word.
Chai Yu looked up at her in surprise and asked, "Qiu Niang, don't you blame me for being afraid that you will drag me down?" ”
"You have a reason for doing this. However, today I am waiting for Sister Miao to come back. Chen Qiuniang said with a smile.
Chai Yu nodded, and Chen Qiuniang told him to take care of himself seriously, and not to do stupid things with others unless he had to. Only by taking care of ourselves and staying alive can we have hope of turning things around.
"One should never judge one's future by one's immediate circumstances. The future is not visible. The current situation is indeed difficult, but after the corner, isn't it another piece of beauty? Little brother remember to cherish himself. Chen Qiuniang said again.
Chai Yu listened quietly, just nodding his head and not saying anything more.
Chen Qiuniang can be regarded as doing her best for this unfortunate teenager. She hoped that this kind of persuasion would have a little effect, so that this young man, who had endured a lot of suffering, would not be so friendly and give up on himself when he encountered a desperate situation.
The two of them fell silent for some reason, and the only sound around them was the sound of the wind blowing the beaded curtain and shaking softly. Chen Qiuniang felt that this was too uncomfortable, so she began to say that she had been working at the Yunlai Inn recently, and that the Yunlai Inn would reopen after a while, and she was the one in charge of the kitchen.
"You've made a delicious meal." Chai Yu said.
Chen Qiuniang hid her face and smiled: "You haven't eaten it." ”
"I've eaten that pot of helmets." Chai Yu replied immediately.
"It's just a homely thing, and restaurants are different." Chen Qiuniang said with a smile.
"A leopard in the tube, a homely one can make that kind of taste, and the complicated one must not be a problem. It's like what my former master said, 'a leopard in the tube'. Chai Yu replied.
Chen Qiuniang was a little stunned. This Chai Yu's behavior and conversation now are very different from the past, perhaps because he confided in his heart, so he didn't deliberately keep silent and wooden in front of her.
"Am I not right?" Chai Yu asked rhetorically.
Chen Qiuniang hid her face and smiled, and only said that she didn't go to him, if she was free, or if she could, he would come to Yunlai Inn to find her. Chai Yu nodded, and the two fell silent again. However, the silence was not long, because Miao Cui returned.
Miao Cui didn't change out of the red dress of the maid of Zhu's mansion, so she jumped into the house, poured tea and drank it, and said, "His uncle, the water in Zhu's mansion is really deep." ”
"What's wrong?" Chen Qiuniang asked. But when I think about it, I think that the Zhu family is definitely not such a simple businessman, but I don't know how deep their water is.
"The organ secretly said, and it is also strange to be in the door, and I see that some of the nursing maids are not weak. Isn't this Zhu family engaged in business, selling leather goods, and actually searched for a lot of strange people. Miao Cui poured a large bowl of water, raised her sleeve and wiped the water beads, and then replied.
"Did you fight someone?" Chai Yu asked eagerly, his face full of worry.
Miao Cui shook her head and said, "I have low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and I am disfigured, how can I fight with others." It's just that he was pushed and slapped by a maid. ”
Miao Cui said, pointed to her cheek, pouted and said, "That strength is so great, and there is still internal strength, my sister's jaw is about to be broken." If it were in normal times, I would definitely abolish her. ”
Miao Cui bared her teeth and gasped, and Chen Qiuniang seriously saw that her cheeks were red and swollen.
"Ah, it's scarily swollen. You go to Dr. Bai to give you the medicine. Chen Qiuniang took a closer look.
Miao Cui shook her head and said, "I've already applied the medicine, so it's out of the way." In the past, in the army, there were a lot of hidden missions to carry out tasks. ”
"It turns out that my sister didn't grow up in a boudoir. It turned out to be a woman in the army. Chen Qiuniang was very surprised. She previously thought that this Miao Cui was just Miss Zhang's sixth lady's personal maid, but she was just a good soldier and knew some fist and foot kung fu. never thought that she was actually a woman in the army.
"The women of the Zhang family are not delicate in the boudoir, except for female red, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, riding and archery, and kung fu have to be learned. I followed Miss Six, and these things also have to be learned. When they reach a certain age, the Zhang family will ask these children if they want to join the Zhang family army or stay in the Zhang Mansion. Back then, Miss Six said that she wanted to go to the army, so I followed. Miao Cui slowly said why she came from the army.
"I see. That Sister Miao has been in battle to kill the enemy? Chen Qiuniang asked again. She privately wanted to get more news about the Zhang Mansion from Miao Cui.
"Women rarely go into battle to kill the enemy, basically women are in charge of reconnaissance and medical affairs, I am in charge of reconnaissance, all kinds of terrain, enemy situation, sometimes mixed into the local camp, anyway, it's very exciting." Miao Cui spoke excitedly.
Chai Yu interrupted Miao Cui, who had counted the glorious history of the eventful years, and asked coldly, "Is Aunt Yun good?" ”
"Oh, Aunt Yun is fine, but she is hungry, but fortunately I brought the bread and found hot soup porridge for her." Miao Cui replied, without the slightest intention of blaming Chai Yu for his cold voice.
"Thank you." Chai Yu lowered his eyes.
"What's polite, who made my sister fall in love with you at a glance." Miao Cui said with a smile, looking left and right with silky eyes, and said with a sigh, "Otherwise, you can promise by yourself, and my sister will not treat you badly." ”
Chai Yu looked calm and said in a calm tone: "I owe you and will pay it back to you." Let's go, you Zhangfu has enough money, and the doctors here take good care of them. ”
"You're crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, and I won't go. Aunt Yun is not in a good condition, don't you want to get better quickly and go back to take care of it yourself? Besides, how can I take good care of the medicine boy in this medical hall? Miao Cui said loudly.
Chai Yu didn't speak, so Chen Qiuniang took advantage of the situation and said, "Sister Miao is joking with you." You are thin-skinned, and you are still stubborn like this. ”
"Don't make jokes, I owe you, I'll pay it back. But don't say that kind of inexplicable thing. Chai Yu's expression became colder and colder.
Miao Cui shrugged her shoulders and said, "Look, I don't know how bad people are." ”
Chen Qiuniang expected that this Miao Cui would not be angry with Chai Yu, so she didn't say much, but said with a smile: "It's hard for Sister Miao to have a good temperament, so I don't care about him." ”
"If you worry about him, you will die of anger." Miao Cui stroked the beaten cheek and said with bared teeth.
Chai Yu didn't talk much when she looked at her, just sullen and angry. Chen Qiuniang saw that there was nothing serious, so she said to Chai Yu: "You take care of it and be cautious and careful." If you are free and convenient, you will come to the Yunlai Inn to see me. ”
"Hmm." Chai Yu didn't look at her, just lowered his head and looked at the floor.
"Don't talk back to Sister Miao. It's rare that Sister Miao has a good temperament and is willing to take care of you. Chen Qiuniang said again.
"Hmm." Chai Yu is still a word.
"Then I'm leaving." Chen Qiuniang got up.
Miao Cui pursed her lips and said, "Look at your floor, see if you can see a flower?" I'm going to send off Qiu Niang. ”
Miao Cui said as she walked out with Chen Qiuniang. Chen Qiuniang naturally cared about whether her cheeks still hurt. Miao Cui shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt." If you want to see Aunt Yun, then it hurts. ”
"What's wrong with Aunt Yun?" Chen Qiuniang couldn't help asking.
"Aunt Yun is actually crazy. And he must have been abused, and his sideburns were all wounds, not enough to be fatal, but the wounds were all new, and there were many old wounds nearby. She's skinny. The whole body stinks, the eyes are glazed, and what to eat. I just gave her food and helped her wash her face, but a girl in red saw it, scolded me, and then gave me a slap. Miao Cui whispered, tears flashing in her eyes.
Chen Qiuniang was also sad when she heard it, thinking of what happened to Chai Yu, she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only sigh softly.
Miao Cui heard her sigh, so she comforted her: "Don't worry too much. I will definitely find a way to rescue Aunt Yun and Chai Yu. ”
"How are you going to save it?" Chen Qiuniang hurriedly asked, with an ominous premonition in her heart.
"I will definitely tell the head of the family about the affairs of the Zhu family. originally thought they were simple businessmen, but they unexpectedly hid a lot of secrets, and they seemed to be afraid that they were related to the Khitan. Miao Cui lowered her voice.
When Chen Qiuniang heard this, if the Zhang Mansion intervened, Chai Yu's life experience would be revealed sooner or later. She didn't believe that Zhao Kuangyin hadn't purged the descendants of the Chai family, especially the kind of person who might threaten his Zhao family's throne, he couldn't keep it. The people of the Chai family, who can be stayed, are all people who can't become any climate. As an old colleague of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and now a subordinate, this Zhang family knows Chai Yu's life experience, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not sue Zhao Kuangyin.
Then Chai Yu's situation is very bad. Chen Qiuniang couldn't say it clearly, so she hurriedly shook her head and said, "You can't make claims about this matter." Otherwise, Chai Yu may blame you. His temper is stubborn and eccentric. What's more, Chai Yu also said that the Zhu family is not simple, you may be making enemies for the General's Mansion. ”
"Don't worry, I have my own measure." Miao Cui said.
Chen Qiuniang couldn't say anything more. This kind of thing can only be seen one step at a time. She couldn't go back to Chai Yu right away. Even if Chai Yu knew, his injuries were not healed, and he couldn't deal with it.
So she said, "Well, I'll come and see you again when I'm free." ”
"Haha, you say that as if I'm with him." Miao Cui laughed.
Chen Qiuniang also hid her face and smiled, and went back to the Yunlai Inn.
Yunlai Inn was half-closed, Pan Qing was sorting out the materials in the lobby, Chen Wenzheng was making a budget, and when he saw Chen Qiuniang coming back, he said that he would visit Wu Baohe in the afternoon. RS
