Chapter 20: Resettlement
When it was dark, Bajin limped open the door of Zhou Chengzhen's house.
The door opened, and Zhou Chengzhen's voice of pain came louder.
On the Luohan bed near the window, Zhou Chengzhen was lying on her stomach with a thin quilt wearing only her underwear.
There were teapots, teas, potions, bowls and pastries next to the bed, all within reach of his hand.
"Lord Shizi." Bajin shouted and moved to Zhou Chengzhen's bed, "Are you okay?" ”
Zhou Chengzhen glared at him.
"Do you think I'm acting like I'm fine?" He shouted, "Change my dressing." ”
Eight catties also stared.
"You haven't changed your dressing yet?" He said, "What about Miss Roujia? ”
"I don't know, I'm still asleep." Zhou Chengzhen said.
Eight pounds grinned.
"Still sleeping? I and the dumb man you called Shizi didn't sleep all night, can she sleep in the same room with you? He shouted, limping open the door to the inner chamber.
Xie Roujia was leaning on the window and throwing the dried fruits in front of her into her mouth one by one.
"Miss Roujia." Bajin rushed over and shouted, "Miss Roujia, how can you do this? My family is so badly injured, what's wrong with you taking care of it a little? It's been together for so long. ”
Xie Roujia turned her head and seemed to have just seen him.
"What did you say?" She asked, reaching out and pulling two clumps of cotton wool from her ears.
Bajin pointed at her cotton wool and was dumbfounded.
"Come and give me medicine!" Outside, Zhou Chengzhen shouted.
Eight pounds stomped his feet and turned around and went out.
"Shiziye, she has no conscience."
There was an angry voice from outside.
"Why does she have no conscience?" Zhou Chengzhen snorted and said, "Did she beat me?" It wasn't her who beat it, and she didn't hurt it. Why does she have no conscience? ”
Eight pounds were choked.
"Then you are so good to her, she should take care of you, right?" He said unconvinced.
"I'm willing to be good to her, whatever she does, she doesn't owe me, you should be good to me if I'm good to you?" Zhou Chengzhen said.
Bajin nodded.
"Of course, the prince is good to me, of course I am good to the prince." He said seriously.
Zhou Chengzhen snorted.
"Fuck off your eggs and bring me the night pot." He scolded.
Xie Roujia inside pursed her lips and stuffed the cotton wool into her ears again.
……………………………….
After Bajin went out and shouted and scolded, four or five girls were sent to the house, waiting for Zhou Chengzhen to eat, drink, and change the medicine. Eight catties and old dumb are no exception.
A few more little girls. The yard has become much more lively, not as depressed as before.
However, it is only in this courtyard, because of the remote location, it still looks bleak outside.
Actually, it's not just the outside. The entire Zhenbei Wangfu is like this.
She was married in that lifetime. The old prince was sick and bedridden, and never cared about family affairs. Zhou Chengzhen, the only bloodline of Zhenbei Palace, is in the capital, and all the affairs in the palace are in charge of Lord Mu, and there is nothing to do in charge. The soldiers and horses have long been gone, that is, the eating and drinking of daylight, as well as the exchange of favors during the New Year's holidays, the exchanges are also simple, and the so-called exchanges in the remote Zhenbei Wangfu are only gift exchanges, and no one has come to the door all year round.
The entire palace is as old and decrepit as the king of Zhenbei, silent and depressed.
The most lively time is to marry yourself, and the funeral of King Zhenbei.
"Can you just walk around?" Xie Roujia asked the two girls who were boiling medicine in the yard.
One of the little girls shook her head, and felt that it was inappropriate.
"I mean, I don't know." She explained.
Xie Roujia sighed and looked outside.
"It's very close to Fanghua Garden." She muttered a little.
Fanghuayuan is where she used to live, and she took a look at it from a distance on the way to be sent yesterday.
It was also the place where she died.
Zhou Chengzhen's humming sound came from the room.
The person who killed her was also around.
It's really ridiculous, Xie Roujia came back to her senses and turned around and walked in.
The two girls who were boiling the medicine glanced at each other.
"She actually knows about Fanghuayuan." One muttered in a low voice, "Isn't it safe for people to get close over there?" ”
The other is also confused, but relieved.
"Maybe the prince told her, she is not the princess." She said, speaking of the little girl's eyes sparkling, "It turns out that the prince has grown so big." ”
"It's so good-looking." The one from before grinned.
Xie Roujia lowered the door curtain, blocked the two little girls from laughing in a low voice, and looked at Zhou Chengzhen on the bed.
Zhou Chengzhen, who was lying on her stomach, buried her head on the pillow, but still hummed in a higher voice when Xie Roujia looked over.
"What's it called?" Xie Roujia said, sat down on the small stool next to the bed, and pulled the intimate eight catties of complete pastries and preserves prepared for his master.
"It hurts." Zhou Chengzhen said.
"What kind of pain does it hurt, you can walk back and forth for eight catties, and you are still screaming on your stomach." Xie Roujia said.
"How can I compare with eight catties, I'm expensive, look at me, is it very expensive?" Zhou Chengzhen glared and said, poking Xie Roujia with Jade Ruyi, "No, no, no." ”
Xie Roujia threw the crushed skin of the fruit shell in his hand in his face.
"I don't know if you're expensive or not, but I know that people like you aren't afraid of pain at all, what to pretend." She said.
Zhou Chengzhen lay up sideways with her hands and looked at Xie Roujia.
"Daughter-in-law, what kind of person am I?" He asked with a grin.
Xie Roujia looked at him.
"Ruthless people." She said, "People like you are cruel to others, and even more ruthless to yourself, not to mention breaking a layer of skin, even if you break your legs, you won't cry out in pain." ”
Zhou Chengzhen looked at her, and a grinning smile gradually spread on her face.
"yes, but I'm in pain too." He said, "It's just that it hurts, and no one cares if you shout, so there's no need to shout." ”
"I don't care." Xie Roujia said.
Zhou Chengzhen smiled and nodded.
"But I just want to call it to you." He laughed, "There is someone who can cry out to her." What a blessing. ”
Crying out in pain.
She thought that when she was a child, she would cry out loudly if she fell and touched it, and then Mrs. Xie, Xie Wenxing, and Xie Rouhui would run over, hugging her and rubbing the place she touched, or worrying, or smiling, asking, and comforting.
Later, everything was gone, and Mrs. Xie didn't even look at her.
She didn't even dare to speak to her, where did she dare to cry out in pain.
When she gave birth to Lan'er, it hurt so much that she gritted her teeth and didn't dare to shout.
What's the use of shouting out, it will only get Mrs. Xie a more disdainful cold eye.
Now, she's fallen. Shouting out the pain, Mrs. Xie Wenxing, Xie Rouhui, or ignore it. Either they will be very happy, and Shao Mingqing Jiangling's five uncles and aunts will be worried, so there is no need to shout about this pain.
Xie Roujia watched him silent for a moment.
"I'm not your mother." She threw down a sentence and got up and pedaled away.
Zhou Chengzhen laughed, laughing on her side and leaning on the bed. Touching the wound, he jerked over again.
An exaggerated shout rang out in the room.
…………………………………
"Shouting all day. The injury was indeed not light. But it should be fine. ”
Amu said as he stood outside the curtain.
"It's not productive." A weak and hoarse voice came from the curtain tent, "Do a little low for a woman!" ”
The man behind the curtain seemed to have exhausted his strength and let out a bellows-like gasp. It took a while to stop.
"Lord Wang, I asked Ah Tu, and he said that the woman brought back by the prince belonged to the Xie family." Amu said.
The curtain rattled, and it seemed that someone had pounced on it, taking on a human form.
"Which Xie family?" A hoarse voice asked.
"Bashu Pengshui Old Witch Xie Family." Amu said.
"Is there still an old witch in the Xie family?" The hoarse voice asked, "Wasn't the Xie family's old witch vein cut off by that madman Xie Ru?" ”
Amu shook his head.
"This subordinate doesn't know, Lord Wang, ask Ah Tu to ask, right?" He said.
The figure on the curtain slowly retreated.
"No, no hurry, wait, I'm now, I've got to wait."
Amu replied yes.
"How is the prince settled?" He asked.
There was silence behind the curtain.
"Settle it as it should be."
………………………………………………….
In the capital, outside the palace, the carriage of the king of Dongping County stopped with wind and dust.
"Your Highness, you haven't rested for several days, so let's go back and rest before you come." The scribe said.
He looked at the king of Dongping who got out of the car, and his always handsome face could not hide a little tiredness.
"What's more, it took so much effort." He said worriedly.
The king of Dongping County hummed.
"It's okay, it's better to see Your Majesty first, and we can't delay any longer." He said.
"But Your Highness, the prince has now arrived at the Zhenbei Palace." The scribe whispered.
Things have already happened, and now to see the emperor or wait a while to see the emperor, it's all the same, and it's inevitable to ask.
After all, he was the guarantor for Zhou Chengzhen, and he was the one who let Zhou Chengzhen go.
"It doesn't matter." The king of Dongping said lightly and walked inward slowly.
As the king of Dongping County walked through the palace gate, the chamberlains had already reported the news to the emperor.
Xuan Zhenzi, who had not finished the scriptures, immediately put away the scroll and got up.
"What are you running?" The Emperor said with a smile.
"My head is starting to hurt again, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me, and I'll talk about the rest of the book tomorrow." Xuan Zhenzi said.
The Emperor shook his head.
"Your illness is not good, why don't you take care of it and let your apprentices come." He said, pausing at this point, "Shao Mingqing hasn't seen him for a month, why did he go?" ”
"He, take those little Taoist priests to do their homework." Xuan Zhenzi smiled, "It's very good." ”
"Looks like this kid is very handy." The Emperor smiled, "You can use it anywhere." ”
Xuan Zhenzi smiled and replied.
"It's a pity that it's too late to get started, or else ......," he said, with a little regret.
Otherwise, he will be able to take over his mantle.
The emperor understood what he meant, smiled and did not speak.
The outer chamberlain had already told the king of Dongping County that he had arrived, and Xuan Zhenzi was about to leave the side hall without stopping.
"Don't be so ashamed." The Emperor laughed.
The attendant who came in also smiled.
"Yes, real person, you don't have to go, the prince didn't come, only His Royal Highness the King of the County." He said.
As soon as these words came out, Xuan Zhenzi and the emperor were stunned.
"Cheng Zhen didn't come?" The Emperor asked, "Where have you gone?" ”
When he said this, his face was already dark.
"He's gone to Zhenbei Wangfu." Dongping County King said.
The emperor raised his hand and poured the tea in the teacup on the king of Dongping County.
Xuan Zhenzi's face changed and he sat up straight.
The king of Dongping sat motionless on his knees, letting the tea on his body soak a piece.
