Chapter 18 Variables
In the past, Cai Ling only knew that the three princes were good-looking, capable of literature and martial arts, so he echoed the deep ladies in the Beijing division who were infatuated with him. Now that I have eaten the dishes he made himself, I know that I can't look at people too superficially, Shen Muchi really doesn't have to choose! If the third lady of Shangshu Mansion and the little county lord had tasted his craftsmanship, it was estimated that they would have to squeeze into the Qin Wangfu if they broke their heads.
Shen Muchi looked at Cai Ling, who had a gray face but a very bright smile, and asked her to eat more, which was polite, who knew that she really couldn't stop chopsticks, and ate half a fish in an instant. He couldn't help but laugh, and went to pour the oil again, ready to fry two more dishes.
Cai Ling hurriedly grabbed the spatula, "How can this be done?" Obviously, I said that I was going to make a meal to thank Your Highness, but it's all the other way around! ”
"Just your craft?" His mouth was teasing, but his gaze was extremely soft.
"What does it matter if the craftsmanship is poor? As long as you are sincere. She said as she added another fire to the stove, waiting for him to hurry up and stir-fry.
He glanced at her and continued to work hard.
That meal was not eaten until the willow tips on the moon, during which Cai Ling was not idle, and kept eating secretly, until the official meal was half-full, but he did not dare to make a sound, and only repeatedly praised King Qin's cooking skills.
After a few glasses of hot wine, she was already dizzy, talking to Shen Muchi, but she didn't know what to do, only to see a smile in his eyes, and stretched out a finger and gently knocked her head. She took advantage of the situation to push him and fill him with wine, "I never thought that one day I would be able to make peace with you like this......"
"You were going to marry this king, but you didn't think that there would be harmony?" He drank the wine in his glass.
She filled him again, and because he was not in good shape, the wine was spilled on the corner of his robe, and when she saw that he didn't care, she just laughed, "So what? At the beginning, I thought that my father and mother would not necessarily have love for each other, and they would not be together for a long time. ”
"Are you stupid!" The tone was flat, but there was a lot of helplessness.
"Stupid is really stupid." Cai Ling raised her glass with a smile, "This cup is for you, I hope you will find your favorite one in the future, and you will be a couple for the rest of your life." ”
"How do you know that Biluo is not." He looked at her coldly.
She picked up the glass in front of him and handed it to him, forcibly touching the glass and drinking her own, "She's definitely not." ”
Although I can't guess why Shen Muchi kept Biluo, in the end, Biluo's background is suspicious, and the use is more than true feelings.
While speaking, the maid timidly came to report, saying that the girl Biluo was ill but did not listen to the dissuasion and had to come, and now she was waiting for the prince outside the courtyard gate.
Cai Ling rolled her eyes, put the cup down, and patted Shen Muchi's shoulder, "Your Highness, go and get busy." ”
He wanted to say a few words, but when he saw that she was watching a good show, he was angry, and got up coldly and walked out of the house.
Cai Ling ate a few more mouthfuls of food, and suddenly heard a shallow whisper outside the hospital, it was Shen Muchi who was comforting Biluo, telling her that now that she was pregnant with a child, everything was more important than her body. Cai Ling suddenly lost her appetite, threw her chopsticks, and fell asleep on the round table.
When Shen Muchi entered the house, he saw her burying her head between her arms, leaving only a clump of black hair outside. He pulled out a few strands of her hair that fell into the vegetable soup with some disgust, and his own maids came up to clean up the scraps, and another maid was about to take the sleepy Jiang Fourth Girl from his hand, only to hear King Qin say, "Go down." ”
Cai Ling slept until she woke up in the middle of the night, only to feel a headache, and saw that she was lying on the couch with her clothes, a little unclear, but she didn't think about it, and only went outside to find water to drink.
Grunt a few sips of water and drank her stomach, her whole body was comfortable, and when she went back to sleep, she squinted slightly, slammed into the bookcase, and in pain, she covered her mouth and didn't dare to scream.
Bookcase? She suddenly thought of the little Baiwen in her heart who was put away by Shen Muchi after being sent to King Qin's mansion with the dowry, and couldn't help but smile slyly. After a while, the drawers were clean, and there were not many objects, but I couldn't find the few pieces of paper.
"Little Four!" Shen Muchi's lazy voice was a little angry. She hurriedly sorted out the bookcase and tiptoed back to the couch.
Before he could lie down, he saw him turn inward, and his tone was already sober, "What are you doing?" ”
"Didn't do anything, go get some water."
"Be honest, don't try to get things done." It's like a joke and a warning.
Do things! Cai Ling is angry, and it is natural to take back your own things, "What's the use of you keeping what I wrote?" ”
"This king doesn't have to keep it." He turned to lie flat, his face hard to see in the darkness.
"Then give it back to me." She mustered up the courage to ask for it.
"I can't pay you back."
"Why?" She was unrelenting.
"It's burning." He replied.
"Burned?" Sadness for no reason.
"You said that you will clear up with this king from now on, what is this king doing with those things?"
"But ......"
"Little four, go to sleep." Although it was an order, his tone was tired, "In a few days you will be able to go out, and from then on this king and you will only be friends, and those things will be given to this king." ”
She stopped talking, thinking about it and not knowing what to say, tossing and turning and not knowing how to sleep peacefully.
But the next day, when I was woken up by a pair of small hands, it was still three poles in the sun. Yuan'er stubbornly shouted, "Auntie...... Auntie get up and ......"
She rubbed the little bun on his fluffy hair sleepily, "Who's bear child, take it back and discipline it!" ”
"Auntie, the sun is in the middle of the sky, and my aunt says that the good boy should get up early in the morning when the rooster crows. My aunt is not a good boy. Yuan'er pouted, and the traces left after the scab on the side of her mouth remained.
Cai Ling touched his soft little face, "Did you get up every morning when the rooster crowed, and never lay in bed?" ”
"Yuan'er worked hard to do it. Unless you are sick. "Yuan'er is very serious.
"Coincidentally, my aunt is unwell today, so let my aunt lie down for a while." She rolled over and closed her eyes.
Yuan'er continued to shake her, she still enjoyed being shaken by him, with a smile on her lips, and was about to fall asleep again, when the little hand suddenly stopped moving, and a sweet voice sounded, "Uncle......"
Uncle! Cai Ling was immediately so frightened that she fell asleep and almost bounced up. Yuan'er smiled happily and jumped, "As soon as my uncle came, my aunt immediately got up." ”
Cai Ling hurriedly covered the child's mouth and whispered in his ear, "This is His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" ”
Yuan'er was about to speak, but Cai Ling let go of his hand, who would have thought that the child shouted, "His Royal Highness King Qin is my uncle!" I have eaten a lot of candy and cakes, aren't you also dressed red and carried away by the big sedan chair? ”
"You kid!" Cai Ling's face turned red and raised her hand to scare him.
"Uncle......" He jumped behind Shen Muchi, his little fat hand grabbed Shen Muchi's robe, revealing his head and grimacing.
Cai Ling is angry and funny, this kid is eccentric, and if he doesn't clean him up, he will make a fuss. She went to arrest him, but he immediately hid in front of Shen Muchi, and the aunt and nephew circled around Shen Muchi a few times. She was panting and panting, but the kid was just laughing.
"Alright...... Uncle protects you. Shen Muchi suddenly picked up Yuan'er and lifted it so high that he couldn't reach it. Yuan'er laughed and shouted, "Okay! All right! ”
……
In the afternoon, Cai Ling patiently taught Yuan'er to write, but was disgusted with writing like a caterpillar, so the child shouted for his uncle to teach him. Shen Muchi was concentrating on reviewing the official documents, and was disturbed by this child, but he was not annoyed, and only said that he would sit there quietly and wait for his uncle for a while.
He was obedient, sitting cross-legged and not moving. Cai Ling picked him up as a whole and threw him into the courtyard, "His Royal Highness King Qin is also something you can command at will?" ”
There was a thick layer of snow in the yard, and although he did not suffer from the flesh and skin, he played a trick, his limbs were pulled in the snow, and his tears fell like beads with broken threads, "Aunt bullies people!" Whining...... Bad aunt! ”
"Don't cry." It's not that I'm afraid of him crying, it's just that this cry like a flood bell will definitely disturb Shen Muchi, so I'm embarrassed. She hurriedly went to cover Yuan'er's mouth.
"Bad aunt!" As soon as her hand approached, she was bitten by the child, and she was startled without using all his strength. She hurriedly withdrew her hand, and when she raised her hand to grab it again, Yuan'er had already run away.
The aunt and nephew chased in the courtyard for a while, playing snowballs, and Yuan'er had already burst into tears and laughed. Cai Ling begged for a detour, "Quickly let Manyun take you back." I don't have the strength to go on with you. ”
"Sister Manyun is sick." Yuan'er seemed to remember something, "I was going to tell you this in the morning, but when I saw my uncle, I forgot about it." ”
"Sick?" Cai Ling threw a snowball, "How do you know?" ”
"She fainted next to my bed in the morning and later said she was too tired and went back to her room." Yuan'er ran closer and lowered her voice, "And she also has a few pimple blisters on her face like Yuan'er......"
"Well done!" Cai Ling patted Yuan'er's head, turned around and ran towards Manyun's house. The doors and windows of the house were closed, and it was not appropriate to knock on the door, so Cai Ling had to bang on the door.
After a few bumps, I felt pain all over my body, and the people in the room finally spoke weakly, "Fourth girl, please go back, the slave is infected with typhoid fever, and I am afraid of infecting the girl." ”
"Manyun, open the door...... Cai Ling turned to bitterness, "How do you know it's typhoid fever?" Let's go and let Jiang Taichang take a look. ”
"Girl, please come back." Manyun's voice was faint.
Cai Ling continued to bang on the door, and she was not stopped until Shen Muchi brought Yuan'er over. Shen Muchi dragged her aside, "You're going to get out of here?" ”
"Manyun is sick." Cai Ling thought of Yuan'er's words, "I suspect she contracted smallpox." ”
Shen Muchi's unsurprised expression told her that nine times out of ten, she guessed correctly. The heart suddenly mentioned her throat and eyes, obviously Manyun said that she had contracted this disease when she was a child, and she would not be infected again when she heard it. Cai Ling also asked Jiang Taichang for advice, and what she got was a positive answer.
"But Manyun said ......" was only halfway through the words, Cai Ling found the answer in Shen Muchi's eyes, it seems that she was deceived, Manyun didn't even want her life in order to help her, that girl had never had smallpox before. Now that I'm infected, I want to hide and fend for myself.
"You have to save her." Cai Ling pleaded with Shen Muchi again.
"Don't worry. You take Yuan'er back to the house first. He commanded.
