Chapter Seventy-Three: Birth
It seems that time will pass faster when there is something to do, and Chunting finally does not have to sit in the car in a daze every day, holding a needle and thread inexplicably moved. But as long as the sky began to darken, Luo Yu would definitely stop letting her touch it, and Chunting would go with the flow, anyway, the time was quite free.
Chunting's hands and feet are nimble, but he can't do it for a few hours a day, and he has done Luo Yu's jacket in less than half a month, so he beckoned Luo Yu to try it.
The young man has a slender figure, although he has lost a little weight after a few months of running around and tanned, he still does not lose his demeanor, and wearing a bloated jacket can't stop the charm of that face.
Since it was made by himself, there was no reason to cut corners, the cotton in the spring court was thick, Luo Yu felt sweaty after wearing it for a while, and quickly took it off and folded the jacket, "It fits well, it's hard." ”
"It's all what slaves and maids should do." Chun Ting said, "You don't have to thank you. ”
Luo Yu was used to Chunting being like this, and he was not as annoyed as before when he heard her say this, so he only smiled and said: "Even the things within the division are also good and bad, in my opinion, you have done a good job, and you should be rewarded."
Reward? Chunting raised his eyebrows, does this person really think that he is in the capital or is he the son who spends a lot of money? They can't even eat now, where do they get the spare money to reward their subordinates?
Luo Yu naturally wouldn't miss Chunting's small movements, seeing that she was respectful on the surface, she was afraid that she didn't know how to slander him in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel a little helpless. took out an object from his sleeve and handed it out, Luo Yu pretended to be relaxed, "Take it, the master will reward you!" ”
I saw a pipa comb lying quietly in the palm of the young man's hand, the comb was carved from wood, carved with a begonia style pattern on the head, and even made a pendant with a rounded stone, the workmanship is not fine, but it can be seen that the intentions are made.
Chunting was naturally pleasantly surprised, since they had an accident and went to Huaiyang alone, all the jewelry on her body was taken out, and she could only take a handkerchief to wrap her hair on weekdays, where was there anything exquisite. What's more, after such a long time, Chunting is used to this, and the people who are traveling with him are all men, where will they understand the thoughts that girls use to dress up, and Chunting also thinks that such a simple bun is faster and more convenient, so it has been like this.
But if you don't pay attention to these things, it doesn't mean that Chunting doesn't like these anymore. In the past, when she was in the capital, what kind of clothes and accessories were popular, Chunting knew everything about it, that is, she couldn't dress up as a subordinate, but Bai Huanru could. Now that she is called Chun Ting, she can also say that she is the Tao.
This pipa comb is what Chunting has always wanted, but at that time she felt that it was too expensive, and it would cost her more money to play the most ordinary one, it was not that she couldn't afford it, but she was reluctant, and she was reluctant to spend money on it.
But Luo Yu took a pipa comb and put it in front of Chun Ting today, although it is not valuable, but it was made by Luo Yu himself. Who else could it be if it wasn't done by Luo Yu himself? A jewelry store? Whose jewelry shop is made like this, it must not go out of business; Zhuang Road? If you ask him to lift the car, he can do it, and if you ask him to do such delicate work as carving, it is better to kill him.
Chunting was very moved and grateful, but as a result, the hands of the pipa comb were trembling.
"I ...... I loved it, thank you for ......"
The little girl looked like she was about to cry, and Luo Yu was a little at a loss when she saw it, and she didn't know what to do.
"Don't cry." Luo Yu wanted to help Chunting wipe his tears, but he paused halfway through his hand, stiffly retracted it and took a handkerchief and handed it over, "Don't you like it?" Why do you like you to cry? I don't know it, but you hate it. ”
Chun Ting shook his head vigorously, wiped his face indiscriminately, and spoke in a nasal voice, "Why did you suddenly remember to reward slaves and maids......
Luo Yu scratched his head, "Today, isn't this your birthday?" I was thinking of giving you a birthday gift, and now I can't afford anything, I think you like this......"
Chun Ting held the handkerchief and paused, birthday? Is it her birthday? On the road every day, the scenery outside is either grass or mountains, and the spring garden is in a mess, and I didn't even react to what day it was for a while.
If you do the math carefully, this is not her birthday!
What she had forgotten herself, Luo Yu still remembered. The birthday was in mid-autumn, and Chunting wanted to make an exception for the festival to buy wine for the two gentlemen, but Luo Yu was so drunk that he didn't go to sleep and pestered her to talk, and Chunting just mentioned it in passing. Pipa Comb also saw the female dependents of King Cheng and his party wearing this thing when he was in Lin'an, and Chunting also said it casually, but he didn't expect Luo Yu to remember it all.
There is no mirror in the car, Chunting combs her hair every day by feeling, and it is all up to God to comb it, but fortunately, in the past, she helped Bai Huanru to pull her hair, even if there was no mirror, she combed it decently, at least Luo Yu and Zhuang Lu did not show anything unusual......
Luo Yu held the pipa comb and said with some hesitation: "I, I'll help you put it on?"
Chunting's face was a little hot, but she couldn't wear it herself without a mirror, so she responded with a red face.
The pipa comb is inserted between the temples, only the neck and head are exposed, and the pendant with rounded stones hangs right next to the ear, and the slight sound of the stones colliding can be heard when you shake your head, which is similar to the woman's step.
I don't know where Luo Yu trained these stones, the color is very good-looking, at least that's what Chunting thinks.
happened to come back from Zhuang Road, who went out to collect firewood and fetch water, and when he lifted the curtain, he saw Luo Yu withdrawing his hand, but Chun Ting's eyes were red.
This looks like this bastard bullied other girls!
Since knowing Chunting's "true identity", Zhuang Lu not only did not look down on Chunting, but also respected the little girl a little more because of sympathy.
Concubine, Zhuang Lu naturally knows what it means, isn't it just to be small. That is, those who are rich and idle have to give such a name, and this is not enough to make people small, and it can't be corrected...... That woman is willing to be small? Zhuang Lu understands this truth even if he is a big man and three coarse, so he disdains Luo Yu's "actions".
He can't even ask for his mother-in-law, this kid has three wives and four concubines, that's all, and asks other girls to suffer with him, which delicate girl can endure it along the way? Chunting not only endured it, but also didn't complain, what a good girl!
But after all, Luo Yu is kind to him, and he is not easy to get involved in other people's housework. But now this scene looks like Luo Yu has bullied other girls, how can this be endured!
Luo Yu was about to stay away to see if Chunting looked good wearing this pipa comb, when he felt a strong force coming from behind, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
Luo Yu turned around slowly, and the big face that Zhuang Lu was glaring at was angry.
"Brother Zhuang, what are you doing......" Luo Yu coughed twice and said weakly.
"Don't call me Brother Zhuang, I don't have a brother like you!" Zhuang Lu's voice was loud, and he leaned into people's ears and spoke so loudly that everyone else's heads hurt, "Bully women, what kind of hero are you!" ”
Not only Luo Yu at this time, but even Chunting was stunned, and opened his mouth suddenly, "Brother Zhuang, you misunderstood......"
After explaining Fang Cai's matter clearly, Zhuang Lu realized that he had misunderstood Luo Yu, and asked with a little embarrassment: "Brother Fang, I can't stand you, why don't I rub it for you?"
Luo Yu hurriedly waved his hand, "No, Brother Zhuang is polite." "Zhuang Lu's strength, just now it was enough for him to bear it, and knead it, don't crush his bones......
Zhuang Lu did suddenly become interested, "Miss Fang is celebrating her birthday today?" It's a coincidence.,I just hit a rabbit.,Just to celebrate my sister! ”
The three of them laughed and revealed the matter of Fang Cai, and began to discuss roasting the rabbit.
"If this world is not like this, you should give your sister a bowl of longevity noodles!" Zhuang Lu said with emotion while turning the wooden branch with the rabbit inserted.
Chun Ting sat on the side, his arms around his knees, tilted his head and watched the two men pull farther and farther away, and his thoughts drifted.
In previous years, when she celebrated her birthday, Sun would cook her a bowl of longevity noodles, no matter how well the family was doing or not, until the child's birthday, Sun would not miss this bowl of noodles, and then watch them finish eating. Yanni and Chunting's birthdays were almost a few days away, so they simply passed together, and the two little girls got together, and they even had to fight over who had more noodle soup in their bowls.
Thinking of Yanni, Chunting felt a little funny, when she was a child, she couldn't see anything else, she only knew that she quarreled with her sisters, and after so many years of noisy and noisy, if she knew that they would probably never see each other again, would Chunting still quarrel with her? No, Izuku Chunting also envied the sisters of others who were gentle and kind, but Yanni was not that kind of sister, so she gradually got used to it.
Yanni has also passed her birthday, right? Chunting looked at the flames jumping in front of her, and the little girl's eyes lit up. It was rare to open meat, and the three of them were satisfied, Luo Yu turned his head to look at the spring court, but saw that the little girl had already fallen asleep with herself in a ball.
Luo Yu shook his head helplessly, and lightly carried the little girl to the car. There are also things like cotton wool and cloth in the car, and I can sleep more comfortably under the cushion, the little girl in my arms is fluttering, Luo Yu frowned, is this girl too thin?
In the dead of night, Chun Ting slept heavily in the car, and Luo Yuhezhuang Lu leaned outside the car and slept under the stars.
The journey has to continue, while the weather is not so cold, the three of them sleep in the wild more and more, Chunting calculated the itinerary, and if they go on like this, they can still get to Huaiyang before the year, and they don't have to spend the New Year outside.
The weather turned cooler, and the jackets made by Chunting came in handy, and the felt cloth on the car was replaced with thick bear skin, which was warm and windproof.
On the day of the first snowfall, the three of them entered Yanzhou City and traveled to Yanzhou, with less than a month's trip to Huaiyang, and they would soon be able to return to their previous stable life.
