Chapter 21: The Way Out
This burn lasted for two or three days.
When he opened his eyes again, Chonghua only felt that his whole body was empty. Sitting in front of him was Dongfang Xu, who didn't look very good. Chonghua was stunned for a moment.
"You're finally awake. It's scary. Dongfang Xu smiled.
"What's wrong with me?" Chonghua clutched the thin quilt that covered his body.
"Don't be afraid, you're just a fever." Dongfang Xu took the basin and stood up: "Since you woke up, let the maid change your clothes for you in a while, boil porridge in the small kitchen, and take a hot sip and you'll be fine." β
Chonghua looked at Dongfang Xu, who was a little haggard, and thanked him a little shyly. After all, it was the person who met in Pingshui, and it looked like this for a few days. It's really uncomfortable.
Dongfang Xu didn't care, and walked out with a basin of water.
After a while, two maids with raw faces walked in. Respectfully combed Chonghua's face and face. The kitchenette over there brought hot porridge and side dishes.
Chonghua looked at the hot porridge and suddenly felt that he was indeed a little hungry.
I thought I would be driven away the next day. I didn't expect to be sick directly in someone's house. Chonghua drank porridge and quickly thought about where she would go to make a living if she was driven away.
The people here are unfamiliar, and in ancient times, women had no status. If you don't go to a big family to be a maid, you will be sold to a flower building.
Thinking wildly, Chonghua drank the porridge and didn't come up with a conclusion.
There was a small head crooked in the doorway. Qing'er's eyes stared at Chonghua who was sitting on the bed.
"You've had a fever for a few days, and Mr. said you'd stay longer." Qing'er's soft and glutinous children's voice made Chonghua's mood a lot easier.
"Excuse me." Chonghua thanked him in a low voice.
In the past few days, it can be regarded as a fall. In the next few days, find a way to find the next place.
Lingfu.
"Master repeats it one last time, Master only needs the second miss." Zhou Wenyuan leaned lazily on the chair with a relaxed demeanor.
Ling Shangshu, who was sitting at the bottom of him, was really unable to survive now.
The concubine lost her life on the way to her relatives. The Tongjiang Royal Mansion refused to admit that Miss Ling was the fiancΓ©e that the prince was going to marry. Not to mention that it can't be buried in the ancestral grave of the Zhou family, I'm afraid that even my own ancestral grave can't be buried in it. Mrs. Ling couldn't afford to be sick because of this, and now she had to hang herself in the soup. Time is running out.
The prince of Bitong Jiang came to Ling's mansion every two or three days, just like taking the wrong medicine, and he had to ask Ling Shangshu to hand over the second miss with the posture of a bully.
Where can the escaped daughter go and hand it over? Ling Shangshu aged in a few days, as if one foot was about to step into a coffin.
Zhou Wenyuan was not in a hurry, but went to the Ling Mansion every day to sit. Jinghua Shuiyue stood beside him, eating tea and tea without going through the hands of the people of Ling Mansion.
Go back to the carriage.
"Master, the second lady really ran away. It wasn't hidden by the Ling Mansion. Jinghua reported respectfully.
Zhou Wenyuan smiled lightly and nodded, but he was smart. I even knew how to escape. doesn't care about the future of his family. It seems that these two young ladies are also extremely statusless at home.
"What's the news at the gates?" Zhou Wenyuan slowly stroked the wrench in his hand.
"I've checked, and no woman of the same age has left the city in the past few days." Shuiyue will report the information he has found.
Zhou Wenyuan's eyes were misty, and he lowered his head and smiled.
"So, it's still in the city. Then it's easy to find. β
The mirror looked at each other and bowed his head respectfully.
It was just to lure out the assassin of the prince, but he never thought that the prince was interested in the second lady. In this way, it is necessary to find out the second lady.
After resting for two days, Chonghua thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind. If you need to go out and run, you might as well stay where you are.
"You want to be a maid with me?" Dongfang Xu seemed to see Chonghua for the first time.
Now that he said it, Chonghua didn't feel shameless. Nodding calmly: "Yes." I can't remember where to go. If you go out like this, you will not go elsewhere to be a maid, or you will be abducted and sold. β
Dongfang Xu's face was slightly red and he scratched his head: "This world is not so chaotic......
Chonghua looked at Dongfang Xu with clear eyes: "If Mr. doesn't keep me, then Chonghua won't bother much." β
With that, he got up and saluted. Turn around and leave. Dongfang Xu hurriedly stopped her.
"It's not impossible. It's just that the young lady's posture doesn't look like a maid at all. So, do you know how to draw? β
Chonghua thought about it, as for landscape painting, when he was in college, he studied it for a few days because of his interest. Barely yes. Nodding.
Dongfang Xu's expression was relieved, and he said with a smile: "Our academy also has some young ladies from high-ranking families who are enlightened. But after all, she is a deep lady and can't come to the school to study. Usually we have to go to the house to teach. It just so happens that there is a lack of a gentleman who paints. If you can, Miss, give it a try. β
Chonghua was slightly stunned, thinking that being a maid was already better. It's better than being out on the streets. I didn't expect to be a teacher anymore. It's absolutely beyond imagination.
"Mr. Chonghua thanks. Do your best. Chonghua bowed respectfully.
Dongfang Xu helped her a little, his face was still slightly red. Scratching his head embarrassedly: "Where, where." β
In the evening, Qing'er sent a uniform costume for teaching. An azure bandeau skirt covered with a moon-white robe with sleeves. It also shows that the hairstyle is a uniform moon bun, and she can't comb it, so that the maids can teach her. Chonghua heard them all and wrote them down carefully.
Admissions to the hall is not as simple as you think. Dongfang Xu took Chonghua to the dean's office, and he didn't know how Dongfang Xu communicated with the dean. Chonghua got the first month of probation.
The first thing to learn is to memorize each portal. How many noble daughters, that one is a concubine, and that one is a concubine. Generally, concubines are not allowed to study with concubines. But there were also older among the concubines. You can't marry without knowing a lot of words. So in addition to teaching painting, Chonghua also added the position of teaching calligraphy.
Under the lamp, Chonghua carefully looked at the names of the nobles in the house on the list.
Suddenly, a name popped into view.
It's like I've heard it yesterday. The first name on the paper reads, Zhou Yayun, the daughter of the Tongjiang Palace.
The girl in yellow who enjoyed the flower banquet that day turned out to be the concubine of the Tongjiang Palace? Tongjiang Palace?
Chonghua's face suddenly changed.
Ling Yuehua has already married into the Tongjiang Palace, if she appears, won't she hit the muzzle of the gun?
But now that the sender is under the fence, he doesn't have to choose. Twisting his eyebrows and thinking for a while, he had to bite the bullet. I hope that Zhou Yayun's yard is farther away from the courtyard of the prince.
The lights were on until midnight, and Chonghua never slept well all night.
