Volume 1: Prosperous Cover and Frost Chapter 28 The old and the new are not at night
Fan Di, Miao Yuan
It was late at night, and there was silence all around.
The lights in the house have been extinguished, and in the dark, Mingyun is wearing a thin bed coat and leaning on the couch by the window, with his head against the window lattice, and he has no sleep. In my mind, the words that my mother had said to her today kept coming to mind. Those words lingered in her heart, and all the memories she suppressed in her heart and didn't dare to recall were hooked out, and they silently tortured her mind over and over again.
The nurse Bai Xin couldn't sleep, so she tossed and turned for half the night, and came into the house to see it in her clothes. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Mingyun sitting under the window in thin clothes, looking at the beams of the black hole.
The nurse hurriedly took a piece of clothing and put it on for Mingyun. "My master, why are you up in the middle of the night? I also sat under the window, and I was not afraid of the cold. What if you get sick? β
Mingyun said: "I can't sleep. β
The nurse shook Mingyun's hand, felt that the hand was cold, and held Mingyun's hands into her warm palms. She rubbed Mingyun's hands and said, "If you can't sleep, then you won't sleep, just talk to the slave." β
"Aunt Xin, I'm not sure, I'm very panicked." Mingyun said softly.
The nurse asked, "Master, is it because of what Mrs. said today?" β
Mingyun retracted his gaze, looked at the nurse, and said word by word: "Mother is reminding me today, no, she is warning me." β
"Master, are you thinking too much?"
"Nope. I guess something is going to happen. Mother, she's hinting at me. Suggest that if anything happens, I'd better stand with her. Mother drew a line. On one side is her, and on the other side is her father. I can only choose one side. Otherwiseβ" Mingjun paused, she didn't know what would happen if she chose the "otherwise".
The nurse listened to the words of the day, and her face became ugly. "Master, what are you going to do?"
Mingyun laughed self-deprecatingly: "What can I do, I'm like this caged bird, I don't have anything in my hand." I don't even know what happened, let alone what I did. Nurse, you see the whole Miaoyuan, and even the entire Gongzi's Mansion, the mother's people are everywhere, what can I do? β
The nurse also sighed, she knew that Mingyun was telling the truth.
Mingyun thought for a moment, clenched his fists, and said: "Money can make ghosts grind, and there is no one in the wonderful garden, so we will find another way, at least let me know what my mother wants to do." β
Quwo was not far from the king, and he hurried his horse, and within three days, he arrived.
On this day, after Gongzi Chengyi went out, Huanyuping retired.
She sat alone in front of the small desk, put two tea cups on the table, and boiled a pot of hot water herself. When the water boiled, Huanyu poured water into the teapot and said, "Come out, I know you're there." As the words fell, there was an almost undetectable sound in the room, and a young girl hung upside down on the beam, and as the girl appeared, a small short arrow flew towards her.
Huanyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly got up with a black pottery kettle in his right hand, and a few beautiful spins stopped, holding the short arrow in his left hand, and his movements were very neat. Huanyu's face was a little uneasy at this time, and she suppressed her voice and said to the girl who was still hanging upside down on the beam, "You're crazy!" What if you don't catch it and make a noise, let outsiders know! β
"Lang Qing concubine, look at what your little lady did, I really envy my little sisters who are still rolling in the mud." Fang Wei still hung upside down, like a fish without bones.
"You don't come down yet!" Huanyu was a little helpless, and whispered to Huanyu.
"Ouch, let me stretch my waist, I've been hiding on the top for so long, my waist is going to break." Fang Wei still hangs on the beam.
After a moment of silence, Huanyu sat down again to make tea and water, "Do you like to drink or not?" β
Fang Wei sighed lightly, turned over and jumped down, and came to a perfect landing, without a sound, like a cat walking through the carpet, quiet and secretive. After the two of them sat down, they didn't speak to each other, and Huanyu had no intention of drinking tea, only quietly looking down at the steaming heat of the tea.
"Here you go." Fang Wei took out the secret letter box from her arms, "Madame wants me to hand it over to you personally." β
"Hmm." Huanyu pursed her lips and didn't take the box, "What about Mu Ge?" "It was her brother, her only living relative.
"Whether he is good or not, whether he can live or not, isn't it all up to you." Fang Wei stared at Huanyu, suddenly pulled out a dagger, grabbed Huanyu's collar, amber eyes flashed with a faint light, and then gently walked around Huanyu's neck with a knife, "You must not forget who you are, it doesn't matter if you die by yourself, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, one ring is wrong, everyone can't live, as a chess piece, you should know what you want to do, where Madam will take you, you will play your duty, otherwise, everyone will be a dead end." As he spoke, the dagger slid onto Huanyu's stomach.
Huanyu clamped the blade with his hand, put aside the dagger, and smiled bitterly, "There is no turning back arrow from the bow, what choice do I have, it's just what you say, what I do." β
In the next two days, there was no news from Fang Wei's side. But Tsunade knew that something was going on out of her sight.
Huanyu sat in front of the tea table and cooked tea, the tea was fragrant, the water was steaming, and smelling the tea seemed to make her stirring heart a little calmer.
"Yumeiren, you see, the dim sum sent from the kitchen today is particularly exquisite, it is plum cake, sweet and sour filling, you can make sure you love to eat it." The little maid brought a plate of pastries and placed them on a carved pineapple tray. The pastries are unique, each one is in the shape of a seven-petal flower, and each pastry is covered with a red plum blossom stamp in the middle.
Huanyu paused for a moment in the action of making tea, she knew this plate of pastry, or rather, this seven-petal plum cake was an internal application in the kitchen to spread the news. She blinked, and then said lightly, "Got it, I'll eat it later, you can stand down." β
"Whoa." The little maid obediently answered and withdrew.
There was no one else in the room, and Huanyu's eyes met the plate of pastries, and she knew that it was not the snack that was hidden, but in this tray. Take a paper knife, insert it through the seam at the bottom of the tray, make a circle, and press it firmly with your thumb, and the bottom of the tray will open, and inside is a letter and a small packet of powder.
The water boiled, the water vapor of the boiling soup fluttered up and down against the lid of the pot, and the lid of the black pottery bumped against the body of the pot, and the crisp sound was faintly accompanied by the sound of the earthenware stabbing and grinding.
Like the hot water boiling on this charcoal stove, all this is like fire and water, which has boiled.
Quwo's side is destined to be a sleepless night.
On the branches of the moon, it was quiet in all directions, and Huanyu was leaning on the soft collapse by the window alone with her eyes closed.
Gongzi Chengyi feasted in the front hall, saying that he was going to feast the staff guests a year ago, with delicious wine and food, orchestral singing and dancing, and a group of beautiful Jiao'e serving in the banquet. But Huanyu knew that this was just a cover for Gongzi Chengyi, and the people he really wanted to see were mixed among the guests. There is a secret room behind the banquet hall, and when the time comes, Gongzi Chengyi will definitely take the opportunity to leave the table to meet with him.
She is waiting, waiting for Gongzi Chengyi to come back. In this scene, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
She closed her eyes as if she was asleep, but beneath her calm surface, her heart was filled with unease, fear, and longing... All kinds of emotions swirled in her head, and she couldn't breathe. She is not emotionless for Gongzi Chengyi, on the contrary, she likes Gongzi Chengyi, and he and she even have a child. But even so, she can't betray Madame, it's not that she doesn't want to, but Madame has seized all her life, she has no choice, it's all a dead end, she has no choice.
"Yumeiren, are you awake?" The maid walked up to Huanyu and asked softly, bringing a cup of warm honey water in her hand. There was no light in the room, and by the moonlight, the maid saw Huanyu's pale face, and was frightened for a while, and said hurriedly, "Why is your face so bad, is it unwell, I will call the doctor immediately." "As he spoke, he was about to run out.
"You're back!" Huanyu sat up with her arms propped up, "I'm fine, don't bluff." β
"But...," the little maid wanted to say something more, but Huanyu interrupted her with a frown, "Didn't you say that you shouldn't bother me if you have nothing to do, what's the matter?" β
"It's the adults who just sent someone to deliver the black chicken soup with sour jujube kernels. I have gone to the oily, saying that it is to nourish the mind and help you sleep, and I told you to drink it before going to bed, and you see that although the adults are at the banquet, their hearts are all tied to you. When the little maid spoke, her eyes were bright and she looked proud.
"Got it...," Huanyu's voice choked up at once, she turned her face away, and tried her best to suppress her voice and said to the maid, "Then you can bring a bowl here." Through the darkness, she bit her lip and silently left two lines of tears.
He was not thin on her. And he will be responsible for him after all.
An hour later, Gongzi Chengyi came back with a full body of alcohol, he was a little drunk, and his face was red from drinking. However, although his steps were a little chaotic, he was obviously still in a clear mind.
"Haven't slept yet? Look at your face is not very good, is it uncomfortable? He casually threw the cloak with the fox fur collar to the servants, sat on the edge of the bed, touched Huanyu's hand and frowned.
Huanyu suppressed the voice in her heart and shook her head gently, "What's uncomfortable, it's just that I'm hungry and panicked at night, thanks to the chicken soup prepared by the adults, the concubine thanked me this time." As she spoke, Huanyu laughed.
"I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I prepared it." Gongzi Chengyi patted Huanyu's hand and went to bathe.
After Gongzi Chengyi bathed, he fell asleep as soon as he stuck his head to the pillow, but it didn't take long for him to be woken up in a hurry. Gongzi Chengyi's alcohol strength has not yet dissipated, his voice is still hoarse, he pressed his drunken dizzy head, and became angry, "If there is nothing important, it will be light to kill you." β
"My lord, it's Xiao Junzi Shuo who suddenly fell ill, and now he is vomiting and diarrhea, with a high fever all over his body, and he can't stop crying!"
