Chapter 5 Painful Reform

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shine from the east, the quiet city of Bianliang seems to be rejuvenated, and the sound of chickens and dogs barking is endless, heralding the beginning of a new day.

Chu Zhi also woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes, sat up, moved his muscles and bones gently, and found that the sour feeling of yesterday had disappeared, and he spit out the stuffiness in his abdomen, and Chu Zhen felt refreshed.

Looking at the antique layout in the room, he was not dreaming, Chu Zhen felt a sense of loss in his heart, and shook his head vigorously, Chu Zhen stabilized his emotions, and his natural and peaceful personality made him slowly accept this fact, anyway, he is not an orphan, his parents and brothers and sisters take care of him, although he will never see each other again, but knowing that they are living well after a thousand years, Chu Zhen has nothing to be sad about, sentimentality is not his usual style.

Slowly put on his clothes, and straightened his hair in front of the bronze mirror, only to see a vague shadow, and I don't know if there is anything missing, without Mrs. Hui's help, it is really troublesome to fiddle with such a long hair, and the technique is stiff to comb it, Chu Zhen feels quite satisfied.

I thought that the pretty and lovely Qiu'er was his own personal ring, Chu Zhi sighed helplessly, if you get along with such a delicate and lovely girl every day, it will be pleasing to the eye, and the mood should also become extraordinarily comfortable, if you can do some games that are beneficial to physical and mental health, it will be a heavenly enjoyment.

It's a pity that the cruel facts completely shattered Chu Qian's beautiful thoughts, not to mention that Qiu'er is Mrs. Hui's personal maidservant, just in the Song Dynasty, the maidservant also has the right to personal freedom, but it is not the kind of slave servant in costume dramas, who let the master kill and take away his life, but is a bit like a modern employment system.

The master's family pays to hire servants and maids, and then serves for so long according to the agreed regulations, and then even if they are cleared up with the master's family, the servants and maids can leave at any time, and their persons are protected by the imperial decrees, if they are bullied by the master's family for no reason, they can go to the local government to appeal, and regardless of whether the appeal is successful, as long as the reputation of bullying the subordinate spreads, not only will it be condemned by the world, but I am afraid that no one will want to work in his house in the future.

"Childe, are you up?" Changgui's shouts came from outside the door, interrupting Chu Zhen's thoughts.

"Come in." For Changgui, there is no deep impression in Chu Zhi's memory, but he knows that he is the long-term worker of the Chu family, and he always brings warm water for washing to himself very punctually every morning, knowing that Changgui is coming, when he got up, Chu Zhi had already removed the door bolt according to the previous practice.

"Good morning Childe, Childe looks good today." Changgui responded to the call, and easily put a basin of warm water in his hand on a wooden shelf in the corner of the room, and then turned around to salute Chu Qian.

"I'm sorry for you."

Chu Qian's smiling face made Changgui feel a little flattered, and felt that Gongzi seemed to be a little different from before, but what exactly had changed, Changgui couldn't say it clearly for a while.

Seeing Changgui Mumu standing there, he didn't leave like before, Chu Zhi didn't pay attention to it, went straight to the wooden frame, picked up the towel next to him and soaked it in warm water, picked up the towel and wrung it out slightly, and began to wash up, no toothpaste, but there was green salt, no soap, but there was soap pancreas, it took about fifteen minutes, and finally his hands and face were clean, and when he turned around, Changgui had quietly retreated.

Chu Zhen didn't care, cleaned up the messy items in front of him, and then walked to the table in the middle, sat on the chair and waited, a minute passed, and the figures of Mrs. Hui and Qiu'er appeared in front of the door.

"Mother, Sister Qiu'er, early." Chu Zhen greeted him, a very natural salute, although the tone was flat, but there was no longer the kind of resistance that was yesterday, Mrs. Hui smiled brightly, Ying Ying stepped forward, stretched out her hand to smooth a few strands of hair on Chu Qian's head, circled around Chu Qian, and after finding no problems, she nodded with a smile.

"How's your body?" Mrs. Hui asked with a smile.

"It's all right." Chu Zhi waved his hand and paused, erected his waist, and let Mrs. Hui examine it carefully.

"Mrs. Hui, Childe, breakfast is ready."

When Mrs. Hui inspected Chu Zhi's body, Qiu'er was not idle on the side, the basket held by the little hand was not empty, and the dishes and chopsticks and food contained in it were neatly placed on the table one by one.

Looking at the steaming breakfast with an attractive aroma, Chu Zhi's stomach made a faint hunger sound very cooperatively, there was no habit of eating Yexiao in ancient times, and Chu Zhi's body is now in the development period, and the demand for food is relatively large, where can he withstand the temptation in front of him, his throat kept rolling, and saliva quietly grows, Mrs. Hui saw this, how could she not understand her child's thoughts, and led Chu Zhi to sit down with a smile.

"Quality, eat slowly, be careful of burning."

Sitting on the chair next to Chu Qian, watching him wipe out the meals on the table at a whirlwind speed, Mrs. Hui showed a kind smile on her face, swallowed the food in her mouth, her stomach was much more comfortable, and seeing the surprise in Qiu'er's eyes, Chu Zhen felt a little embarrassed, and her speed slowed down.

"Mother, when I was talking to my uncle last night, I fell asleep unconsciously, I don't know if he is going back now?" In order to hide his embarrassment, Chu Zhen asked casually.

When Mrs. Hui heard this, her expression froze for a moment, and she returned to normal in an instant, a beautiful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly: "The third uncle saw that you were safe and sound, and stayed at home for a night, and rushed back before dawn." ”

"It's good to go back, I didn't say a few words to my uncle last night, and I have to go to Xiangfu to visit him in two days." Chu Zhen said with a smile, anyway, Xiangfu County is only more than ten miles away from Bianliang City, even if it is walking, it will only take two hours to go back and forth, and it is not difficult to visit Chu Qian.

"It's rare that you have this heart, and you are finally worthy of the third uncle's love for you on weekdays." Mrs. Hui smiled, adding a bit of brightness to the room, but she felt a little surprised in her heart, feeling that her son was really different from before, usually when Chu Qian thought about him, he sent someone to pick him up, but now Chu Zhen can think of taking the initiative to visit.

"Qian'er knows that he was too stubborn in the past, and he has made his mother worry and worried, and now he is not small, and he is gradually understanding the world, knowing the past, and determined to change his past, please rest assured." Chu Zhen stood up suddenly, bowed respectfully to Mrs. Hui, and said solemnly and sincerely.

Chu Zhi knows that if you want to live well in this era, you must integrate into this era, but you are a person after a thousand years, even if you have the memory of Chu Qian's body, but some habits and temperaments will definitely be different from before, rather than making people suspicious, it is better to find a reason for them to turn back, as long as they are cautious in their words and deeds in the future, even if they do any strange behavior, others will not be too surprised.
