Chapter Eighty-Nine: If You Can Choose Your Master
Zhang Changxiu held down one of her hands, gently held it in the palm of his hand, turned sideways, and took Hua Chu'er in his arms with his big hand. Hua Chu'er has beautiful eyebrows and charming eyes, gentle like water, which makes people look at the more pleasing to the eye, and the more they look at it, the more exciting they are. Leaning down, his eyes are as deep as the sea.
"I've been busy with official business recently, and I can't accompany you well, and I'm very guilty for my husband."
Seeing this, Ruyu had already picked up Hua Chu'er's changed clothes, quietly exited the house, and closed the door.
Hua Chu'er reached out to his chest in a panic: "Husband, haven't you had dinner when you come back?" β
"It doesn't matter."
As he spoke, Zhang Changxiu kissed him. The shallow kiss stopped, and Hua Chu'er immediately pushed him away again.
"The doctor said that the fetus is unstable and you should be careful on weekdays. I'm afraid that the concubine won't be able to serve her husband. β
When Zhang Changxiu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, the fog in his eyes slowly dissipated, and he said worriedly: "The fetus is unstable? β
Hua Chu'er said: "Husband, don't worry, I've been drinking fetal pills, but I still have to be more careful." β
"Okay, got it."
Zhang Changxiu smiled and stretched out his hand, pressed her head into his arms, lowered his head and touched her stomach, and muttered and laughed.
"It's not been a few months since you started robbing your mother with your father?"
Looking at his kindness with a smile, Hua Chu'er also smiled shyly, but the gloomy cloud kept lingering on her brows. Zhang Changxiu raised his eyes and saw it, smoothed her brows, and kissed her lightly.
"What, it's not happy to know that you're going to be a mother?"
"No, it's just that it's a little uncomfortable."
Hua Chu'er's hand also touched her stomach, and was held by Zhang Changxiu, the sweetness rose from her heart, and her unwillingness and grievances were also mixed up, and she was still happy on her face.
"Being able to conceive her husband's child is the concubine's constant wish. Now that it has finally come true, it is naturally gratifying. Just ......"
Seeing the fog in her eyes, as if she had some grievances, Zhang Changxiu immediately tensed up nervously and hugged her tighter.
"Just what?"
Hua Chu'er sobbed, lay on Zhang Changxiu's shoulder, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
"I'm afraid that the concubine can't keep this only child."
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Changxiu was shocked by her words, and patted her on the back to reassure, "In Taishou Mansion, who can harm you?" β
"Ever since the concubine was pregnant with a child, she has been restless day and night, always dreaming that someone is pricking the concubine with a needle, and she is still chanting strange incantations in her mouth. Every time I woke up, I felt a cramping pain in my abdomen. Therefore, the concubine is afraid that this child will not be able to stay. β
As she spoke, Hua Chu'er's tears had already wet Zhang Changxiu's shoulders.
The word "witch Gu" suddenly popped up in Zhang Changxiu's mind, trying to maintain his composure while constantly appeasing Hua Chu'er.
"It's okay, it's okay, I've heard it for my husband, pregnant people always love to think too much, dream more night sweats, these are normal, our children will be fine."
"The concubine knows ......"
Hua Chu'er is well-behaved and distressing.
Zhang Changxiu picked her up horizontally, walked to the bedside, saw her panicked, comforted and smiled: "Tonight, my husband will accompany you, and I will rest with you in the future." That way, you won't have any more weird dreams. β
When Hua Chu'er heard this, she knew that he would not do anything, so she buried it in his chest with encouragement, tears still in her eyes, but her eyes turned fierce and unwilling.
Red Bean Garden, in the maid's room where Ruyu is located.
In the center of the room, Ruyu clasped her hands on her knees, her eyes were dull, and the firelight reflected on her face, twisting into a strange light.
The firelight weakened little by little, Ruyu pinched the fire basket, lifted the remaining section of white cloth, and the firelight rose again. The tongue of fire licked and turned into ashes along with the little blood stains on the white cloth.
It wasn't until the fire was extinguished that the dim light of the candles in the house revealed its status. Ruyu looked through Hua Chu'er's clothes at her feet again.
Sure enough, I found that there were some blood stains near the crotch of the dirty pants. Immediately exhaled, put the rest of the clothes aside, and waited for Ming'er to hand them over to the rough maid to wash.
Ruyu threw the dirty pants into the brazier, took the candle from the side, and lit it again.
It would be nice if you could choose the master.
β¦β¦
As soon as Chang Le returned to the house, he was not born. Aunt Rong is like having a thousand miles of eyes, she goes to the pot courtyard with her front foot, and Aunt Rong arrives with her back foot.
She hasn't taken care of it for the past few days, and when it was time for the end of her work, Aunt Rong finally had the opportunity to discuss with her about the invitation to send.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Chang Le got rid of it, and fell asleep.
The next day, I seized the opportunity to go to Baguizhai.
Needless to say, King Huai is also in Baguizhai.
Chang Le poured a sip of hot tea very tiredly, and said helplessly: "I'm really going to die of thirst." Aunt Rong's oppressive, I can't even drink a sip of water. β
"Madam, didn't you just skip water and wait for you to faint from thirst to rest?" Shili stood aside, came out without warning to break Chang Le's exaggerated words, and smiled faintly, "I didn't expect that my body was too strong, how could I carry it down." β
"Tsk, what are you telling the truth?" Chang Le pulled the corners of his mouth and glanced at Shili angrily.
The people and animals laughed harmlessly twice and stood on their own.
"Recently, you've been busy with Taishou's wedding banquet?" Liu Chengyan smiled and took Chang Le's words.
Finally, someone cared, Chang Le was very satisfied, and raised his eyes happily. Looking at Liu Chengyan's starry eyes, he felt relaxed and happy, and when he looked at the beautiful face of King Huai, he was also happy, which was much better than Zhang Changxiu's stinky face.
"That's right, he hasn't given birth to this child yet, so he has some kind of wedding feast. When the child is born, I have to do it again. I don't have to do that to make money. β
Chang Le pouted and complained about the matter. One of her biggest troubles in life is giving gifts. I'm afraid of holding a banquet, and I'm even more afraid of participating in a banquet.
Thinking that when she graduated, before she earned the money, she had to give money to her classmates who got married, and the despair was really heart-wrenching. The original blessing in my heart has also been greatly reduced.
Shili silently held back and did not speak.
"Everything is just a celebration." King Huai flipped through a book of different aspirations and took the time to interject two sentences.
"When the time comes, the celebration will be festive, and people will be exhausted to death before and after the feast." Chang Le did not hide his disgust for him, looked at Liu Chengyan, and smiled flatteringly, "My time to come out is also limited, and I have something to come to Lord Liu Zhai today." β
Liu Chengyan subconsciously looked at King Huai, and when he saw his expression of "Look, I'm right", he turned back with a light smile.
"What?"
"Well, I'm here to get the money."
Chang Le blinked his little eyes in anticipation, gently shaking his upper body, like a little pet waiting to be petted, so cute that it fouled.
King Huai moved the book that blocked his face to the side, expressed surprise and disbelief at her demeanor again, and swept towards Liu Chengyan with questioning eyes again.
What kind of medicine did Liu Chengyan give her?
Why is it that every time she says something to Shangliu, she is either coquettish or cute?
To him is to deceive this and that, and to Zhang Changxiu is more like an old hen full of fighting spirit.
Why is there such a big gap between people?
Liu Chengyan ignored King Huai's inquiring gaze, got up gracefully, and said, "I'll get it for you." β
"Ma'am, be more restrained." Shili took two steps forward and grabbed Chang Le, but because of the presence of King Huai, he said in a low voice, "Madam, your saliva is about to flow out." β
Chang Lewenyan, who looked at the door where Liu Chengyan disappeared, licked his slightly dry lips and said with a smile: "Is there anything I don't know?" This also wants to bluff me. β
"Almost." Shili was very helpless to remind.
Chang Le smiled maliciously at Shili, turned his head and chatted with King Huai seriously.
"King Huai, do you think that Lord Liu Zhai is much better than that Li Junshi? They are all gentle and elegant, Lord Liu Zhai is the kind of humble gentleman at first glance, and Li Junshi looks like he is hiding some kind of disaster in his heart. β
King Huai's peach blossom eyes glanced to the side, continued to read, and teased: "How can you confirm that Lord Liu Zhai has no hidden evil water in his heart?" β
Chang Lexiao's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and the worship and admiration in his eyes are flashing, which is very obvious.
"Intuition. The lord of Liu Zhai looks harmless to humans and animals, which is called a gentleman like jade. β
"Oh, naΓ―ve." King Huai snorted lightly, and there was much mockery in his voice.
His admiration behavior was ridiculed, and Chang Le was very displeased. Getting up, he snatched the book from his hand, frowned, and glared at him with seriousness.
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? β
Shili didn't want to stay in the house anymore. Chang Le's behavior made her heart suddenly, and after standing for a while, she was afraid that she would be directly frightened by her wife's unrestrained behavior.
Madame has you forgotten that there is King Huai on the other side?
King Huai is not an ordinary man, he can't be treated casually!
Huaiwang peach blossom eyes picked, stretched out his long hand, snatched the book from her hand, and spread it out again.
"In the future, when you have a chance to get to know him, you will know what kind of person he is."
"Aren't you jealous that Lord Liu Zhai is better than you?"
Chang Le once again wanted to take back the book in his hand. This time, King Huai was holding tightly, raising his eyes to look up at her defiantly, and disdainful of what she had just said. Chang Le saw that he couldn't get it back, and he didn't bother to fight anymore, so he returned to his original position.
"Lord Liuzhai's excellent temperament, you can't be jealous. Don't slander behind people's backs. β
Ten miles down, there is no love.
Really, no one is as good as her wife.
King Huai accepted the book in disbelief and leaned over to look at her.
"Mrs. Taishou, did this king help you in vain?"
Chang Le blinked weakly, and smiled embarrassedly but politely: "Then you can't let me believe your ghost with a clear conscience...... Untrue content? β
The desire to survive made Chang Le succumb, and Shengsheng changed his way of expression.
"This king really helped a white-eyed wolf." King Huai leaned back and looked at his book.
Liu Chengyan listened to their argument outside, and when the blush on his face dissipated, he re-entered the house. When he arrived in front of Chang Le, he pinched his sleeve with one hand, and gently placed the money bag in front of Chang Le with the other hand.
"Thirty taels in total, all here."
When Chang Le heard about the number, he immediately wanted to lie on the table and cry. Looking at the money bag embroidered with the word Fu, he reached out and circled it in front of his eyes, and his fingers weakly pulled open a crack, and took out a few pieces of broken silver. After looking at it twice, he stuffed it back again, straightened up, and put the money bag in his hand and checked it.
"I worked hard every day, but I only ended up with thirty taels. It's only thirty taels......"
As he spoke, Chang Le took out the folding fan from his arms, looked up and down, left and right, and began to play the fan again.
"Why don't you give me a chance to be a fan?"
