Chapter 8 Changes
The next morning, the eastern sky had just turned out of the white belly of the fish.
A few mothers-in-law and girls in the prime minister's house rushed in with a tray, and the dazzling array on the tray was not dazzling.
"These are all rewarded by the Xiangye to the third lady, and the girl is also asked to dress up the third miss in the future, and let her look like a young lady." The girl headed by the yin and yang had a cold face, full of disdain, and after finishing speaking, she swung her waist and led people away.
Chang Youxi heard the chirping of the outhouse when he was half asleep, and just rubbed his eyes and walked a few steps out of bed, he saw Ning Shuang standing in front of the table like a wooden chicken, and the piece of gold and silver on the table was shining brightly, and the dilapidated room suddenly brightened up a lot.
Chang Youxi stepped forward slowly, slowly withdrew his hand, pointed his five fingers, slid over a few pieces of silk and satin, and grabbed a handful of scattered gold, silver and jade ornaments, and put them in the sun to look at them carefully.
Gold, silver, and warm jasper colors are intertwined in the bright sunlight, and they are incomparably magnificent.
Sure enough, this father of hers is really cold-blooded and ruthless, his daughter has been working hard in the cold kiln for 12 years, and he has not seen him send a mouthful of food to eat, but now he spares no expense in order to protect his face.
She is a simple official lady, she is still a fool, even if he rewards herself with many treasures, but still far from quenching her thirst, she should starve or starve, should she be bullied or bullied. After all, these gold and silver are still from the Changfu.
Chang Yuandao, but what an old fox.
"Miss, I'...... I've never seen so many babes. Ning Shuang stared, but the light in her eyes was warmer than gold.
Chang Youxi smiled and grinned like a mouthful of silver teeth, "Little money fan, we will have endless money to spend in the future." ”
Ning Shuang nodded stupidly, full of adoration. Last night the young lady told her that they would make a windfall today, and it came true today. Her young lady is more spiritual than the Buddha.
Chang Youxi yawned and was about to wash, when he casually glanced at it and saw a brocade burden lying quietly at the foot of the house.
In the past month, every five days, someone will unknowingly hand over a bag full of snacks to eat. There is a low hole in the corner of the wall that is cut into the outside world, and it is obvious that someone has deliberately stuffed it in, but who gave it to him.
Listening to Ning Shuang, this delivery took six years.
Except for the relatives with human faces and beast hearts in Changfu and the nun in Suxin Nunnery, they stood alone and had no relatives. Those people in the prime minister's mansion are mean in the open, and secretly they don't have any good intentions, and the nun girl lives in a remote place, so she can't get out of the temple easily.
Chang Youxi's head has to be big, and he can't figure out who it can be.
"The good Samaritan has sent something again." Ning Shuang quickly ran over and brought the burden to Chang Youxi.
Chang Youxi's eyes are sharp, and he saw a long silk sticky under the baggage, and he pulled it at the moment, spread it in the palm of his hand, and a few lines of small letters were written round and jade, and he was extremely beautiful.
"The fourth aunt is seriously ill, go to Suxin Nunnery quickly."
Chang Youxi frowned, and his face was solemn. In this era of intrigue, everyone wears a disguised skin, and it is necessary for her to weigh the truth and falsehood, as well as the pros and cons.
Ning Shuang has always been simple-minded, as soon as she heard that the fourth lady was sick, tears rolled down, "Miss, Su Xin'an is extremely bitter, and I don't know if Mrs. can stand it, have you invited a doctor, let's go see her." ”
See? What do you think? A dignified Prime Minister's Mansion, who would let a fool go out and show his head and insult the lintel, besides, this fool is still the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Madame misses Miss, and washes her face with tears every day, Miss, let's go see her." Ning Shuang knelt down, tears surging up.
Chang Youxi sighed lightly, picked up Ning Shuang with his hand, and nodded.
She did not die, and she was reborn through Chang Youxi's body, which should have been the filial piety of Chang Youxi's children. Although the fourth lady twisted her hair with scissors when Chang Youxi was three years old, left home, and threw her own daughter alone in the tiger's den in Longtan, she did not fulfill her duties as a mother. But that day she woke up from the coffin, and the gentle-looking woman held her tightly in her arms in the heavy snow, and cried hoarsely for an hour, and the cry with a spurt of joy struck her heart.
She felt that the woman was loving her daughter with all her might.
Even if it was really a trap fire pit in front of her, she had to step out of a way.
Before leaving, Chang Youxi changed into a coarse linen skirt, tightened his hair with two strips of cloth, braided a twisted braid on the left and right, and found a few pieces of burnt black charcoal to paint his whole face.
With a dark complexion, a yellow face and thin muscles, and a petite body, he really has a complete picture, so that he can't recognize him even if he is the king of heaven.
Chang Youxi picked four finely made jasper hairpins and two jade bracelets, two gold bracelets, and put them in his sleeve pockets, while instructing: "You have to be good yourself, wait for me to come back, if other girls come to find fault, remember to endure the calm for a while." ”
"Miss, won't you let me follow?" Ning Shuang's eyes were filled with some bright mist, and she choked, "I'm not at ease, I'm going to follow you." ”
Chang Youxi shook her shoulder and analyzed softly: "Don't worry, your young lady and I are so clever, nothing will happen." Although people don't often come to this side courtyard, there is no guarantee that someone will come, if someone finds out that you and I are both gone, we will not be able to argue, you are here to guard, and you can hold on for a while. ”
Ning Shuang raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and stuffed the sketched map in her hand into Chang Youxi's hand, tears rolling down.
Chang Youxi gently wiped away her tears, "If you encounter something difficult, go to Cai'er in the second lady's room, she is a kind and smart girl." ”
It turned out that his master had already thought of a plan for himself, Ning Shuang was moved and worried, and wanted to hold back her tears, but as if she had burst the embankment, the more she cried, the more fierce she became.
Chang Youxi feigned anger and threatened: "If you cry again, I won't come back, Miss." ”
This trick really worked, Ning Shuang tightened her mouth, angry, and looked at her young lady pitifully.
Chang Youxi hid the flawed smile on his lips and went out with a cold face. Ning Shuang followed step by step.
This remote and desolate backyard is no worse than the front yard, and the defense is scarce. Chang Youxi glanced at the skinny locust tree by the wall, clapped his hands neatly, jumped on the branch with a little foot, and then rode over to the high wall.
Valiant! is like a hero who flies on the wall, Ning Shuang was stunned.
Chang Youxi blinked his star-like eyes, handed a smile in the air, shook his body, and jumped off the wall.
Changfu was built in Furong Lane, three miles away from the palace, but Suxin'an was far away on Buchou Mountain, seven miles away.
Because it was early in the morning, there were few pedestrians in the market, and only a few vendors selling breakfast set up iron pots, and the smoke of cooking was billowing, and the smell of rice was permeating, which aroused the cravings in the stomach.
I often walked up to a vendor and swallowed my saliva as I looked at the drawers of hot meat buns that had been piled up.
"Girl, do you want to buy buns?" The boss kneaded the dough in his hands while sweating, and asked enthusiastically.
Chang Youxi pinched the hard jewelry in his sleeve, touched his hungry stomach again, and said in a low voice: "Boss, I don't have any money, can I take credit?" ”
The smile on the boss's face froze, as fast as turning a book, and immediately froze.
"Go and go, I don't have money to buy any buns, and I haven't seen anyone on credit." As he spoke, the boss raised the rolling pin in his hand and waved it at her in fright, splashing her with white flowers.
Chang Youxi dusted off his body angrily, snorted a few times, and walked out dejectedly.
"Aren't you going to eat steamed buns?" A pleasant voice came not far away, the bottom tone was crisp, but it was deliberately said in a deep and deep tone, as if an immature child deliberately imitated the tone of an adult's speech.
I often look back when I hear about it, only to see that the slightly rough hands that have emerged from the table are slowly pushing a plate of crystal plump white bread onto the edge of the table.
Chang Youyou couldn't help but run over, like a wolf, with green light in his eyes, grabbed two in one hand, and stuffed his cheeks round.
The young man's hand holding the sword stiffened slightly, his eyebrows frowned, and he couldn't cry or laugh.
That's pretty ...... Wolf.
After Chang Youxi finished eating the five meat buns on the plate, he wiped his mouth satisfactorily, looked up for a moment and saw that the young man was looking at her intently, the sleeves that wiped his mouth were stagnant, hehe smiled a few times, dropped his sleeves casually, bowed deeply solemnly and seriously, and said loudly: "Thank you for the buns." ”
As he spoke, he took out a gold bracelet from his sleeve and rested it lightly beside the young man, "This is as if I bought your bun." ”
The young man wore a chic and neat corseted robe, carried a long sword, tied a gold sachet around his waist, and his long hair was like silk, only tied with an ordinary wooden hairpin, which was both noble and poor, so mixed and matched, but the match was seamless, but it was a pity that he wore a black gauze hat and wrapped it in a curtain-like gauze tent, which made his face faint and invisible.
The young man looked at the gold bracelet thoughtfully, and said strangely: "This gold bracelet can buy the entire bun stall, but why do you want to tell the boss that you have no money?" ”
Seeing that this young man had a gentle temperament and no malice, he confessed, "You see that I am wearing tatters, if I rashly take out a gold bracelet, the boss must think that I stole it, what if I am arrested and sent to the official?" ”
The boy didn't say anything.
Chang Youxi thought that he had misunderstood him, and hurriedly explained: "I swear, this bracelet was not stolen by me, but was given to me by a lady who saw that I was pitiful." ”
She made the white lie a little more tactful.
The breeze was blowing, and the few sides of the black veil were lifted, and the young man's honey-colored firm skin was looming, and the dimples on the cheeks were shallow, as if there was a pool of sunshine puddles, obviously smiling.
Chang Youxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh yes, I still have something urgent, let's go first!" There are often people who are full of wine and food, and only then suddenly remember that they are not worried about the nun girl on the mountain, waved their hands at the young man, and ran away in a panic.
"It's refreshing, it's free, it's special." The boy looked at the empty plate and laughed unconsciously.
