Chapter 13 Sleeplessness
The west wing is on the west side of the main house, and there is only one corridor between the two, which is very adjacent, and it doesn't take long to reach the door.
Chun Ying lifted the door curtain embroidered with pomegranate blossoms, and carefully waited for Fu Duoduo to enter.
As soon as he stepped through the door, Fu Duoduo was stunned by the exquisite furnishings in front of him.
What you see is a painting of Baifu calligraphy, which is a large Fu character composed of 100 hairpins, which is pasted upside down on the wall. Under the calligraphy and painting, there is a mahogany flower stand on the left and right, and a blue-glazed flower with budding spring flowers is placed on it. On the left is the small hall where guests are usually entertained, and after a cursory glance, Fu Duoduo turned his gaze to the right, which is the bedroom where she will rest tonight.
Huanghuali is adorned with branches and pomegranate screens to separate the outer room, bypassing the screen is the exquisite workmanship of the Huanghuali shelf bed in the Yuemen Cave, and by the window is the rosewood five-screen enclosure kang bed, on which is placed a suitable size black lacquer kang table, and the kang head is erected with black lacquer painted gold bookcase type multi-treasure ......
Fu Duoduo couldn't help lowering his eyes slightly in surprise, under the reflection of the candle flame, the light of the floor tiles under his feet was like a mirror, reflecting the human figure.
The furnishings in the room are full of luxury, but Fu Duoduo feels very cold when he looks at it, and it is gorgeous cold. For her little aunt, who has been on the sickbed for a long time and is not favored, this room is too luxurious, so luxurious that it makes people frightened, even afraid.
Suddenly, Fu Duoduo had the urge to escape, and she wanted to escape everything here, but when she inadvertently touched the jade skin cream given by Dr. Li in her cuffs, reason pulled back her crazy thought. She still has Bi Tao's concern, especially now that Bi Tao is still injured, and there must be no mistakes at this time. Otherwise, in this era when a small wind chill will be fatal, Bi Tao is very dangerous.
"Auntie, the slave has already made the bed, you should rest early." Chun Ying blessed Fu Duoduo, stretched out his hand to give her a wide coat, Fu Duoduo reflexively stretched out his hand to block it, seeing Chun Ying's puzzled look, Fu Duoduo explained lightly: "I'll come by myself, you go down." ”
Chun Ying glanced at Fu Duoduo strangely, and when she insisted, she bowed and retreated.
The door creaked and slammed shut.
Fu Duoduo moved cautiously, looking up at the window covered with bamboo strips, seeing that Chunying was not outside the door, he couldn't help but exhale lightly, his suppressed nerves relaxed a lot, washed up a little, and went to bed.
Maybe he was too tired from being tossed today, Fu Duoduo tossed and turned on the bed a few times, and quickly fell asleep.
Fu Duoduo is sleeping soundly here, but others may not.
After Chun Ying came out of Fuduoduo's room, he did not go directly to the lower room to rest, but returned to the main house with only a corridor away.
"Chunying, why did you come back so soon, did that aunt call you arbitrarily? Playing with her aunt's demeanor? The one who asked was the few little maids who had discussed her in front of Fu Duoduo before, one of them was dressed in dark green Chunfu, and she looked at Chunying with a curious face, very gossipy.
Chun Ying glanced at her, ignored it, and went straight into the house with the curtain lifted.
Chunfu pursed his lips unhappily, sticking out his tongue at her back and grimacing.
When Chun Ying inadvertently turned his head slightly, Chun Fu immediately stood up straight, restrained his expression, looked at his nose and nose, and looked at his heart, which was very serious.
Chun Ying secretly shook her head and entered the inner room.
"Young Master." Chun Ying saluted very respectfully to the young man who was crooked on the beauty couch.
"How? Did she fall asleep? The cold voice overflowed from the slightly pale lips, and he coughed several times in just one sentence, and his face was slightly red, and Chun Ying was very frightened, so he hurriedly stepped forward and handed the teacup to the side, that is, Yu Shiyi's mouth, and said disapprovingly: "Young master, why didn't you listen to Mother Xie's advice and sent everyone out of the house, and there was no one waiting for you." ”
Yu Shiyi waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't talk about this first, you can first talk about the woman's reaction when she entered that room, whether she was happy and smiling, or flattered, completely stunned, or even something else." ”
Chun Ying carefully let Yu Shiyi lean comfortably on the big Ying pillow, and saw that his face was slightly soothed, so he said with a smile: "That aunt didn't look very happy, nor did she show any pampered pride, but was very surprised, and even a little scared. Saying that, Chun Ying frowned slightly, and continued: "She seems to be very resistant to other people's touch, when the slave maid wants to serve her to bed in a wide dress, the slave maid saw that she was very defensive, and immediately pushed the slave away, and her expression was also very guarded, and there was no reaction from normal people at all. Saying that, Chun Ying guessed: "Young master, did you say that she was stupid because of tonight's fire!" If ordinary people suddenly get the favor of the young master, it is too late to be happy, how can it be like this? ”
Yu Shiyi covered her mouth and coughed a few times, chuckled, and said, "It seems that she really came out of my expectations!" After a moment of silence, he said, "These maids regard you as the most calm, and you will serve her in the past few days." If she asks you to find out something about me, you don't have to be too restrained, what to say, if there is any situation that you can't handle, just explain it to Wenzhu. ”
Spring welcomes the bend of the knee promise.
"By the way, you can see Lianqing tonight." Yu Shiyi asked casually.
Chun Ying thought about it, shook her head, and said, "After dinner, the slave didn't see her, but the young master is looking for her?" ”
Yu Shiyi sneered and waved her hand to make her stand down.
The corners of Chunying's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something, but seeing Yu Shiyi's tired face, he could only swallow his words back and bow back.
Standing in front of the door curtain, Chun Ying sighed leisurely at the bright moon in the sky.
In fact, she told a little lie to Yu Shiyi just now, when she first saw the fire in the small courtyard where Fu Duoduo lived, she saw her. It's just that it was dark at that time, and the figure flashed by, but Lianqing's familiar back, Chunying asked herself if she would not admit her mistake.
Alas, I hope this matter has nothing to do with Lianqing.

"Come out, how is the investigation going?" After Chun Ying left, Yu Shiyi stood up from the beauty couch, looked at the moonlight outside the window with his hands behind his back, and said to the silent room.
"The cause of the fire was because someone deliberately set it on fire." A deep male voice sounded behind Yu Shiyi.
"Can you find out who did it? What is the purpose? Yu Shiyi's hand behind his back shrank and let go, and he didn't turn to look at the man, his face was very relaxed and continued to admire the moon. However, the man behind him understood Yu Shiyi's true mood, knew that he was on the verge of anger, and the constantly scaling hand was powerful evidence, so he couldn't help but consider his words and replied: "Trapped by love, this fire is all because of the word 'love'." ”
"Love?" Yu Shiyi snorted coldly and said, "I think it's for profit!" ”
The man behind him did not speak, and was silent, indicating acquiescence.
Yu Shiyi sighed and said a little sadly: "Everyone in this world values profit, and for the sake of the word 'profit', anyone can be sacrificed, even if it is a parent." You say......" Yu Shiyi turned around, faced the man standing in the shadows, and asked, "Do you say that there are any people in this world who are not profitable?" Did you say there was? I don't think so. Yu Shiyi asked and answered himself, and his tone was very sad.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that. You are also tired all night, take a good rest, starting tomorrow, this house can no longer be peaceful, you are busy. As soon as the words fell, the man in the shadows disappeared.
Yu Shiyi turned around and faced the moon hanging high in the sky again, and said to himself: "Father? Haven't you always hated me as a son? Tomorrow the woman you like will be pregnant and accepted into the Yu family's mansion, you must be so happy that you can't sleep tonight! This is all the credit of your forgotten son, and in order to show my kindness to you, my son has prepared a big gift in the future. Hahaha! Yu Shiyi laughed maniacally, I don't know if it was because he was too hard, and there was a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Zhang's mother! Zhang's mother! The eldest lady tossed and turned on the bed, no matter how she tossed, she didn't feel a trace of sleep, but became more and more energetic, and couldn't help but sit up with the quilt turned over, lifted the curtain and called Zhang's mother.
At the same time, the sound of soft footsteps and the grinding of squirming dresses came from the outer room.
"Ma'am, what's the matter? But thirsty? Zhang's mother put on a small jacket, poured a cup of warm water neatly, handed it to the eldest lady, and said: "It's been ugly now, Mrs., after you drink the water, you better rest early, otherwise you won't be in good spirits this morning." ”
The eldest lady took a sip of tea, moistened her dry throat, looked up at Zhang's mother's worried expression, her heart was warm, but when she thought of the unconscious aunts in the backyard and the pregnant new aunt who was about to enter the door this morning, the eldest lady hated her teeth so much that her teeth itched, her hands tightly grasped the futon, and a vicious look appeared in her eyes, and said: "Zhang, do you think I am too kind-hearted, so I will let them all climb on my head?" Look at the little actions of those bewitching people in the afternoon, each of them wants to pull me off the horse, and they don't look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue they have? ”
Mother Zhang gently patted the eldest lady's back, and said with the same hatred: "Eldest wife, don't be angry." Isn't it easy to clean them up? A casual excuse can make them unable to eat and walk around, even if they are pregnant? You are the wife of the main room, and whoever you want to toss depends on your words. Don't forget, you have an adult young master, no one can shake your position, even if the master wants to spoil his concubine and kill his wife, he has to weigh it well! ”
