Chapter 21: A moment of mercy
Yan Qing quietly went to the Nine Heavens to find Si Ming, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't let go of it in his heart.
"Since Si Ming Xingjun knows the truth, or is it still rotten in his stomach, anyway, he has been sick?"
"What the Divine Monarch of Mountains and Rivers said is extremely true. The fairy is completely ignorant of everything. Xuan Chen is Xuan Chen. "Si Ming Xingjun prayed in his heart, don't come to find yourself in the future, I understand what you said, you come to find yourself every once in a while, you can't stand it!
As the two were talking, they turned around and Qi Lang came in through the side door of the side hall.
"Second hall. ”
"God-kun. ”
"Oh, I've come to Si Ming Xingjun for something. ”
"It just so happens that I am. ”
"Second hall, please. ”
"Yanqing Shenjun, please. ”
"I'm done. ”
"That's good. ”
Si Ming stood aside and bowed his waist, embarrassed by the two.
"I don't know what the second hall is talking about when it comes to Xiaoxian?"
Qi Lang opened his mouth and turned around to leave, turned around again, turned around again, shook his sleeves and left, Si Minghan was confused.
"How's the Hundred Gu raised?" asked the God of Mountains and Rivers.
"It's just the last few tastes. ”
"Don't be too anxious, no matter what, more than ten years have passed, although it is almost the same, but it is better to wait until the mortal thousand souls die. ”
"Yes. ”
Yan Qing entered the bamboo house, and Zhishui was lighting incense. The scars on Qianling's body have been completely healed, and the newly grown skin is as white as snow, and the skin is like clotted fat.
In the next few months, Si Ming saw that Xuan Chen and Ye Chu were still in a relationship, Ye Chu didn't seem to have much estrangement in his heart, the two of them were like glue, it was really not good, so he quietly helped.
On Xuanchen's birthday at the beginning of the winter month, Ye Chu stayed at home with Xuanchen. It snowed all night last night, and the two of them sat in the warm pavilion.
Xuan Chen took Li Cong to practice calligraphy, Lian Bi was boiling tea on the side, and Ye Chu was making a portrait of the room on the table, and the scene of the charcoal fire added warmth.
Si Ming stood in the house and watched, and only shouted in his heart that he had done evil. Put your hands together, "Yanqing Shenjun, Yanqing Shenjun, Xiaoxian didn't mean to touch you in the dark, just borrowed it from you, I hope to understand, I hope to understand." ”
When Si Ming arrived outside the house, he deliberately turned into Lian Bi's appearance and twisted his waist.
"Give me Madame's medicine. Go to the room over there and bring me the camphor brocade box that I kept in the mahogany cupboard, and Madame will see it. ”
"Yes. ”
Si Ming watched the person walk away before turning into the servant girl and knocking on the door.
"Madame's medicine. ”
"I'll just come, close the door, and go back to the pastries that I eat on a daily basis. ”
"Yes. ”
Just now, the maid Xiaoyue took the painting.
"Didn't I tell you to get some pastries, how to take this, put it back quickly. Lian Bi's tone was a little stern, not like usual.
Xiao Yue hurriedly knelt down, "This is what the girl just asked me to obtain!"
"What's the matter? Don't stand at the door of the house and get the wind. ”
Xuan Chen saw the camphor wood brocade box and glanced at Ye Chu.
"If you take it wrong, put it back, go quickly. ”
"Yes. ”
"Wait, how can you take something wrong?"
"Back to the Hou Ye, just now the slave maid sent the medicine, and Miss Lian Bi asked the slave maid to fetch the painting outside, saying that the lady wanted to see it. ”
"When I asked you to pick up the paintings, I asked you to go to the kitchen to get some daily pastries!"
Li Cong looked at Xuan Chen and blinked.
"Write well. Xuan Chen turned Li Cong's head.
"Show me. ”
Ye Chu saw the painting painted by the national teacher, "Thousands of worlds, the gathering of the most souls." Hundreds of turns, a soul charm. Ye Chu muttered the words on the painting.
"You go down first, and even Bi will take Cong'er down. ”
"Yes. ”
There were only two people left in the room, Ye Chu and Xuan Chen, and the silence was terrifying.
Xuan Chen got up and walked to the table, took the painting in Ye Chu's hand, and explained.
"This was originally a congratulatory gift from my Zhuqing National Master on my birthday last year. ”
"It's really good for the national teacher to treat his wife, and he doesn't forget to send people to deliver medicine and birthday gifts every month when he travels abroad, I don't know what he will send this year?"
Ye Chu snatched the painting in Xuan Chen's hand and tore it in half, Xuan Chen couldn't believe the scene in front of him, his eyes looked at Ye Chu in shock, Ye Chu also realized that he was a little impulsive, but he couldn't let go of his face.
"There's something else going on in the barracks, so I'll go first. ”
Xuan Chen stood silently in the room for a long time before picking up the painting that had been torn in half on the ground, putting it away and putting it in the brocade box.
"Madam?" Lian Bi looked at Xuan Chen's expression distressed, and didn't know how to speak.
"Take it and put it away, and send the servant girl away. You go out first, I want to be alone for a while. ”
"Yes. Lian Bi closed the door and still looked at it uneasily.
Xuan Chen sat on the chair and was very upset, looking at the half of Ye Chu's unfinished drawing and drawing.
It was already evening, it was snowing at night, and there were few pedestrians on the street, except for a few who were still in a hurry to get back to their houses, and only one street was still lively. Ye Chu walked around the street for a long time, and the anger in his heart couldn't go down for a long time, so he stepped into Qingle Fang, chartered a good side room, and drank stuffy wine.
A group of scholars were arranged by their mothers to come up to play music, Wei Yun wore half of chiffon yarn, embroidered with a gorgeous flower on the side, sat at the front, playing the stringed piano.
Ye Chu was drunk.
"You stay, and everyone else goes out. ”
"You're Wei... Wei..."
"Wei Yun. ”
"You're playing the piano very well. ”
"Master Hou doesn't know much about the piano, how can he know how to do it?"
"Oh, I don't understand, but someone does. Ye Chu staggered to his feet, his hands propped up and pressed on the strings, making a discordant noise.
Ye Chu twisted Wei Yun's head, Wei Yun's only three points seemed to come from his eyes, and he wore a half-veil to cover the "shortcomings" below.
Ye Chu lightly lowered his lower lip through the veil, Wei Yun's heart beat wildly, and he reached out to untie it but was grasped by Ye Chu.
The strings fell to the ground, which did not belong to it, and the night was cold.
"Madam, when you're done, let's leave it alone. Master Hou is afraid that the military camp is busy and will not come back tonight, so let's rest. ”
Xuan Chen sighed, "Okay." ”
Ye Chu leaned against the window and blew the cold wind, the snow outside was already much smaller, there was snow on the roof, and there were people on the official road who were sweeping the snow at night. Wei Yun stayed alone in bed and put on her veil.
Ye Chu suddenly remembered something and touched it in his arms.
"Is Master Hou looking for this?" Wei Yun took out the jade bracelet carved into a white orchid from Qinglangji and walked in front of Ye Chu.
"Don't wear the veil or hat again. Ye Chu took the bracelet and hurried out.
Xiaoyun hurriedly entered the house alertly.
"Girl, let's drink this good fetal pill soon. ”
Wei Yun drank it in one go.
"Thanks to you, it's so sudden today, if it weren't for that wine, it probably wouldn't have been tonight. ”
Ye Chu tiptoed into the house, carefully opened the door and went to bed with a wide shirt, bringing in a cold air.
Xuan Chen had been awake, but still had his back to Ye Chu.
Ye Chuhe warmed Xuan Chen's waist and abdomen with his hands, and groped for a bracelet on Xuan Chen's wrist.
"I was wrong. ”
Xuan Chen's eyelids fell slightly, and tears fell down the pillow and wet the pillow.
"Don't quarrel in the future. ”
"No more noise. Ye Chu responded, "Don't cry." ”
Ye Chu hugged Xuan Chen tightly.
Si Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, why didn't this plot play cards according to the routine? But soon, something happened that Si Ming didn't expect.
"Madam, it's time to enter the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow. ”
"Has the national teacher returned to the palace?"
"No, the Zhuqing National Master will leave after the epidemic. Madam, the Zhuqing National Master also sent the painting after the Hou Ye left that day. The slave didn't say anything, and put it away. ”
"Hmm. I won't be in the palace this year, so I'm sick. ”
"Yes. Madame, the little boy is coming for lunch. ”
"Go ahead and get ready. ”
Xuan Chen fed the parrot that Ye Chu sent that he could talk to under the porch, but he didn't say a word for most of the month.
"Mother. ”
Li Cong threw himself into Xuan Chen's arms like a ball and looked at Xuan Chen with a smile.
"Where did you go this morning?"
"My grandfather took me to pick a foal, and it was brown and red, and it was very beautiful. ”
"Is it?, when are you going to study?" Xuan Chen took Li Cong's warm little hand and entered the house.
"Grandfather said that you can learn when you are warm after the year, and today my grandfather also praised me for my good words, and Cong'er said that it was all taught by my mother. ”
"That mother thank Cong'er for her kind words. ”
"Today, Cong'er came back to say goodbye to her grandmother, and she also met the aunt she met last year. ”
"Last year?"
"It's the god-like person who grew up with his mother. "It's only been a year, and Li Cong has lost a lot of childishness compared to last year.
"She was crying, and my grandmother's face was not good, so my grandfather hurriedly sent someone to send me. ”
"Alright, it's time for lunch. ”
"Mother, let's go out on the street tomorrow, Daddy won't be back until night. ”
Xuan Chen thought for a while, unwilling to sweep Li Cong's excitement, "Okay." ”
"It's so nice to be a mother. Li Cong's voice was sweet.
The screeching of the cup shattering on the ground, accompanied by the sound of beating and scolding, was isolated from Xuan Chen's courtyard.
"Bastard!" Ye Xiu took the thorn strip and whipped it Ye Chu's back, Ye Chu wanted to grit his teeth and endured it without shouting. Li Ji wept silently on the side.
"You can also do such a thing about such a woman entering the palace with a child, besides, you take the princess of the dynasty, she is the eldest princess, the king's sister!" Ye Xiu's voice trembled. Seeing that Xuan Chen and Ye Chu have always had a good relationship, they suddenly came to this matter on the New Year's Day.
"My son didn't want her to let her in. Ye Chu's clothes were thin, although in the cold winter, there was still sweat on his forehead, the skin on his back was open, and the blood stained his dark clothes.
"Now find a secluded courtyard outside, let Miss Wei Yun live first, and it will be three years after next year. ”
"Do the good things you do yourself, solve them yourself!" Ye Xiu angrily shook off the thorn strip on his hand and turned away.
Ye Chu was still kneeling on the ground, and Li Ji helped him up.
"Mother will arrange this. Li Ji's rare gentle tone.
Mother took her leave. ”
"Is Madame at home?"
"No, I took the little boy to the street to play. "Bai Yuan has already gone to find out the news. Ye Chu hurriedly went to the study to get good medicine.
"Mother, I still want to eat the peach crisp I bought, which is crispy and fragrant. ”
"Good. ”
"Mother, take a bite. Even Aunt Bi, you eat too. ”
"Thank you, little boy. ”
"Have you had enough of today? It's not too early, it's time to go back. ”
"Okay. Li Cong was reluctant to give up.
