The word "dirty" almost burst out from between her teeth, with a cold heart and endless contempt. Cardamom was stunned for a moment, and then replied crisply: "Yes!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan paid all her attention to Fang'er, and it wasn't until she saw her eyebrows jump very slightly, and Zhong Ziyuan showed a sarcastic smile on her face.

She ignored Fang'er on the bed, but walked up to Mrs. Zhong and said softly, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mrs. Zhong was angry in her heart, but she didn't show it well in Zhong Ziyuan, so she only smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, maybe I haven't rested well and my head hurts." Go and see Fang'er, why haven't you woken up after tossing for a long time? ”

Zhong Ziyuan sneered in her heart, where did she not wake up, it was obvious that she was pretending to be weak and wanted Mrs. Zhong to feel guilty, Zhong Jinchuan took pity. A hint of cunning flashed in Zhong Ziyuan's eyes, and he deliberately raised his voice and said, "It's okay, Qingdai, you go and bring my medicine box, I will personally prick Sister Fang'er with a few stitches, and she will wake up!" ”

Qing Dai believed it and hurriedly said, "Then I'll go get it!" ”

Fang'er's eyebrows jumped, but she still didn't move. Qingdai quickly took the medicine box, and Zhong Ziyuan saw that Fang'er was still lying upright, and there was no reaction at all. Seeing her pretending, Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but feel tired in her heart, so she simply took out a silver stick that flashed with cold light and stabbed it into Fang'er's person.

"Oops," Fang'er exhaled coldly, and seeing that she couldn't pretend anymore, she had to slowly open her eyes. saw Zhong Ziyuan standing slim beside the bed, with a pair of clear eyes that were extremely clear, and seemed to be able to perceive everything. The silver needle in his hand was still shining with a blinding cold light. Her heart jumped, and her dark eyes were immediately clouded with a layer of mist. Ai Ai said, "Little Miss, why am I here?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan's heart was on fire, and she threw the silver needle in her hand. said angrily: "Sister Fang'er, I want to ask you this." What is there in my Zhong family that can't stand you, under this big festival, you have to sing all the scenes of crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself? ”

"I, I" Fang'er was embarrassed for a while. At this moment, Zhong Jinchuan changed into a dry robe, opened the curtain and walked in. See him. Fang'er suddenly cried out loud with a "wow". She suddenly lifted the quilt on her body, crawled off the bed and knelt in front of Zhong Jinchuan, kowtowed again and again: "Master." Please, let me go! I really don't have the face to stay here."

Strings of tears flowed from her eyes, and she looked extremely sad. She wore only a thin midcoat with narrow shoulders. Her sunken collarbone could be faintly seen from above. The thin body of a bird trembled with sobs. It's like a lonely and helpless child, it's really pitiful.

Zhong Jinchuan sighed heavily, and a strong unbearability appeared in his heart. He bent down to hold her arm and comforted her gently: "Okay, don't say stupid things, you have entered the gate of our Zhong family since you were twelve years old, where else can you go if you don't stay here?" Go back and lie down, your body is important! ”

Zhong Ziyuan stood behind Zhong Jinchuan and watched with a blank eye. His face was flushed with anger. Fang'er took Zhong Jinchuan's hand and slowly stood up, and she raised her eyes timidly. happened to catch a glimpse of Zhong Ziyuan's fiery eyes, and immediately lowered his head as quickly as he saw a cat and a mouse.

Qingdai was clever, and without waiting for Zhong Ziyuan's command, she stepped forward and forcibly squeezed Zhong Jinchuan away, grabbed Fang'er's arm and dragged her back to the bed. While wrapping her thin and weak body firmly with a quilt, she didn't forget to count: "I said Sister Fang'er, you have eaten a few years longer than me, why are you still so hypocritical?" Whether you really want to go or not, it's freezing under this festival, where can you go? Didn't we worry about it in vain!

I said you just stop for a while, don't cause trouble for the old lady. After the festival, the spring flowers are blooming, and the road is thawed, where can you not go in the north and south? I believe that Mrs. and Miss will never be stingy with your little money for the journey. ”

Fang'er's face was red, I don't know if she was cold or embarrassed. Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly covered her mouth, for fear that she would laugh out loud. Good Qingdai, it's really powerful at a critical time.

At this time, the curtain sounded softly, and Sister-in-law Liu came in with a black lacquer tray. There were a couple of dishes on it. She brought the things to the side of the bed and said, "Master, the green onion and white ginger soup is ready, you can also drink a bowl while it's hot!" Go to the chill on your body. ”

Zhong Ziyuan stepped forward and personally picked up one of the powder kiln green bamboo pattern cover cups and handed it to Zhong Jinchuan obediently. The ginger soup was still emitting a trace of white smoke, Zhong Jinchuan drank it hotly, and immediately forced out a hot sweat. Zhong Ziyuan took the opportunity to say, "Father, look at your eyes, the circles under your eyes are dark. I stayed up all night last night, and today I have been running around for Sister Fang'er for another day, which must be very hard. My mother is also having a headache because she hasn't rested well! Why don't you both go back to your room and rest now, Sister Fang'er is here for me to watch, how about it? ”

Zhong Jinchuan saw that Mrs. Zhong had been frowning and rubbing the corners of her forehead, and she was shocked, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why do you have a headache?" Wasn't it good before! ”

Mrs. Zhong stood up and said lightly: "Since the person is back, let's have a good rest!" Just like Qing Dai said, there is something to wait for the weather to be good. If you want to leave, I will never stop you. After speaking, she flicked her sleeves and simply turned away, without even glancing at Zhong Jinchuan out of the corner of her eyes. Zhong Jinchuan didn't care, and hurriedly followed.

Fang'er was half leaning on the futon, holding Sister-in-law Liu's hand, and drank ginger soup in small sips. Seeing Zhong Jinchuan walking behind Mrs. Zhong, his eyes couldn't help but darken, and he shook his head and said, "I can't drink it!" ”

Sister-in-law Liu saw that her face was not good, and hurriedly said: "You girl, run out all day, I'm afraid that your stomach will be hungry!" I made a bowl of noodle soup, you can eat as much as you want, pad your stomach! ”

Sister-in-law Liu still takes care of her in her heart, in addition to the noodle soup, she also prepares several other side dishes, all of which Fang'er loves to eat. Seeing that Fang'er glanced at herself timidly first, she picked up the bamboo chopstick, picked up the flexible dough in the bowl and ate it slowly. Zhong Ziyuan was bored for a while, she simply told Qingdai to help Sister-in-law Liu take care of Gu Fang'er, and she opened the curtain and walked out.

The winter sky always gets dark very quickly, and a miserable white crescent moon looms in the dark night sky. Like a piece of fine mutton fat white jade, crystal clear with a faint fluorescence. The small garden is unusually quiet, and the snow on the paths has been cleared. Zhong Ziyuan walked slowly along the path, and the flowers that had bloomed wantonly in the corner of the wall had withered away, and they were firmly covered by snow and could not see a little greenery. All I could smell was the cold smell of ice and snow.

Zhong Ziyuan's heart gradually relaxed a lot, to say that this Guo Chengsi is still very discerning, this small garden is really a good place to relax. After walking around the trail a few times. Zhong Ziyuan's belly sulkness disappeared.

Zhong Ziyuan gradually felt a chill on her body, she rubbed her cold fingers, and thought about going back to her room. Behind him, there was a deliberately aggravated footsteps. She jerked back, only to fall into a warm, familiar embrace. He still had a faint smell of alcohol on him, and he must have escaped from a banquet temporarily.

Zhong Ziyuan gently leaned her head on his shoulder and whispered shyly, "Why did you come?" ”

Guo Chengsi smiled indifferently. "I heard. Your family hasn't had a good time this year? I'm afraid you'll cry, so I'll take a look! ”

Zhong Ziyuan raised his head and glanced at him, and said strangely: "You came, why didn't Fu Bo come in to report?" ”

Guo Chengsi opened the fur fur on his body, wrapped her in it, and said with a smile: "I slipped out of the palace, and I have to rush back later." I'm just going to take a look at you and leave, so I don't have to bother Fu Bo to report it. ”

Zhong Ziyuan raised his head slightly. With bright eyes, she whispered incredulously, "Are you crazy? This time and again can be an hour. If only the emperor knew. Will it be to blame? ”

Guo Chengsi smiled lightly, put his hot lips to her cold ear like ingots, and whispered contentedly: "Don't worry, the palace is lively at the moment, and the emperor won't blame me for such a trivial matter!" ”

"Speak well, it's itchy!" Zhong Ziyuan leaned into his arms, laughing and shrinking his neck. Suddenly, her heart moved, and she raised her eyes and asked, "Have you seen Prince Rui?" Is she good? ”

Guo Chengsi smiled, and then said casually: "I caught a glimpse of it from a distance, but I couldn't speak." But it's good to look at the complexion! ”

When Zhong Ziyuan heard this, she said happily: "Then I'll rest assured." ”

The couple in love is really not afraid of the cold and heat, and the two actually sat in the ventilated pavilion on all sides of the small garden and talked for a long time. Zhong Ziyuan knew that Fu Siyuan finally met the eldest princess under the arrangement of Zhu Fei and Guo Chenghe, and the husband and wife who had been reunited for a long time hugged their heads and cried for a long time. At tonight's banquet, the eldest princess saw that the emperor was happy, and specially asked for Chunni to be accepted as her goddaughter, and also asked for the title of county lord for her. It is not difficult to guess that the eldest princess must have raised Chunni so much to thank her parents for saving Fu Mingyuan's life.

But when Guo Chengsi said that Chunni was going to take the litter of local dogs raised in Zhu Fei's mansion back to the eldest princess's mansion, Zhong Ziyuan smiled dumbly, it seems that the eldest princess's mansion, which has always been calm and waveless, is going to be completely lively.

As he spoke, he talked to Fang'er again. Guo Chengsi was very straightforward, and said bluntly: "Since this maid has ambitions, I am afraid that she will harm the Lord, so you simply send her away." I remember her deed of sale, I asked Duan Ling to hand it over to you as well. You can find a tooth woman and sell her to another family. ”

Zhong Ziyuan sighed: "How do you know, she has been in our house for eight or nine years, and she has served my mother with all her heart, and we have long been like a family." If I send her away rashly, not to mention that my father is not happy, I am afraid that my mother will not be able to get over it. ”

Guo Chengsi sneered lightly and said disapprerovitically: "The master is the master, the slave is the slave, no matter how good the situation is, it can't go beyond its duty, and there are no rules." I think your family is too good-natured, so that these people don't know the height of the sky, and they want to compete with their masters. also ran out to seek death on the first day of the new year, if this was in our town and country's mansion, she would have been tied up and sent to Ya Po, where could she be so noisy. ”

Zhong Ziyuan was embarrassed, but he had to admit that what Guo Chengsi said was still very reasonable. Maybe it's because the three of them are not used to being masters, so they can't handle the proportions well, which makes Fang'er have a lot of fantasies out of thin air.

Seeing her frowning, Guo Chengsi couldn't help but smile, couldn't help but bend his fingers and scratch the tip of her nose, and said dotingly: "Do you want me to help you cook this girl?" Guarantee that people don't know the ghosts! ”

Zhong Ziyuan shuddered, glanced at him and said, "How do you want to deal with her?" ”

The corners of Guo Chengsi's mouth curved, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said with a smile: "I have more than a dozen manors in the suburbs of Beijing, and there are many young and capable stewards who have not begged for a daughter-in-law. It's not a shame to be worthy of this girl from your family! "It's still up to Zhong Ziyuan's face that he will come up with this idea. You must know that the young stewards under him are all trained by his father himself, and each one is more capable than the other. Whichever one is taken out, it is more than enough for Fang'er.

Zhong Ziyuan's heart moved when she heard this, and she had to admit that this was a good idea. With Fang'er's current condition, it is indeed tantamount to sending her to death if she really leaves the Zhong Mansion alone. But staying at home is a scourge. It's better to see a good family affair for her, but it is a method that everyone can accept. Zhong Ziyuan thought for a while and said, "Wait until I discuss it with my mother!" As a matter of urgency, you can find me a reliable housekeeper. ”

"Why?" Guo Chengsi said strangely.

Zhong Ziyuan sighed: "My mother has a gentle temperament and a soft heart. Sister-in-law Liu, they and Fang'er went on this trip to northern Jinbei, and it was inevitable that they would have some life and death feelings. Qingdai, cardamom is young and has no sense of proportion, I am afraid that if one is not taken care of, there will be an accident. ”

"No problem."

The two snuggled up to each other and talked for a while, and Guo Chengsi reluctantly left. Although Zhong Ziyuan was cold at the moment, her heart seemed to be carrying a small stove, and she felt hot.

She walked briskly to the outside of Fang'er's house, but heard a low voice from inside, and mournful sobs: "It's really not a place for people, and when the wind blows, it's a mouthful of sand." Even the water in the well was muddy yellow, and it looked like muddy water when drunk. Within a few days of drinking, Aunt Zhu fell ill, and I was scared, but I still had to take care of her. I thought I was going to die there. Who knew that this was not enough, the one who killed a thousand knives actually asked me to go to the place where there was no light of day to dig coal," her voice was like a cry, mixed with sobs from time to time.

Zhong Jinchuan comforted a few words in a low voice, Fang'er seemed to be very excited, and she choked up for a long time before continuing: "I have always been thinking about Chang'an City, thinking about our Zhong family, I remember that it was drizzling on the day of the accident, and the big banyan trees in the yard were washed thick and shiny, and I thought that it would be good if I had the opportunity to drench the drizzle again."

Zhong Jinchuan's voice obviously carried a trace of guilt: "It's all my fault, if something like that hadn't happened, it wouldn't have caused you to suffer together!" Don't cry, fortunately you all returned to Chang'an City safely, and life will slowly get better in the future. You're still young, and you'll have a long life to come! ”

Zhong Ziyuan was secretly glad that after listening to it for so long, his father seemed to be facing Fang'er with a calm attitude, although he had pity but no dirty thoughts. (To be continued.) )
