Qi Su Niang stared at the figure of the man wearing the tiger skin hat, retracted the sleeve with her right hand and gently held the bronze hairpin, and stopped at the entrance of the tent. The cold hair on her body still remembered the chill that hit people that night, and she couldn't help but stand up. She thought of the black bear that was skinned and eaten, controlled her trembling legs, looked at the guard named Cui Hao in the tent, and forced herself to calm down: "Who are you, why-"

"Su Niang, you don't know me?" The guard Cui Hao took a step forward, pulled down the tiger fur hat on his head, and stood far away and said happily: "I am Brother Cui, Brother Cui, who was sold to the Governor's Mansion of the River. ”

Qi Su Niang was stunned for a moment, squinted her eyes and looked carefully, only to see that this man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, he was wearing a blue placket with arrow sleeves, covered with a new green fox skin robe, the treasure scabbard in his waist was inlaid with jade, and the feet were thick deerskin oil boots, which was very decent.

His eyebrows were indeed a little familiar, but the look always made her feel a little different, and it was no longer as warm as it was on the broken carriage. According to the routine, military and civilian officials can't wear fox skins, Cui Hao is dressed like this, and his momentum is not much inferior to that of the palace guards, and he is afraid that he is also a high-grade official.

"I looked like you a few days ago, but your appearance has grown a lot, and I don't dare to recognize you for a while. In the past few days, I have inquired everywhere and learned that you were sold from Yongding River to Huai'an, so I dared to come and recognize you. Cui Hao stood far away, with a look of happiness on his face, and said with a smile: "Su Niang, you are too bold, I have been worried about you in the past few years, I was doing things in Beijing a while ago, and I heard Jiao Qi say that you really escaped, why didn't you come to look for me, you must have suffered a lot." ”

Qi Su Niang finally found the shadow of Xiao Cui from the face of the person in front of her, her right hand couldn't help but loosen a little, let out a long breath, glared at him, and said, "When did you have such good martial arts?" I didn't learn it in the past two years, so it can be seen that you were hiding it from me at the beginning! ”

Cui Hao saw her recognize each other, his face was full of joy, he approached and stopped five steps away, patted his waist knife and said with a smile: "Cangzhou people are martial arts, I was young at the time, but I have some foundation, and I learned serious martial arts from the governor's mansion, I haven't hidden it from you." While speaking, he looked at Qi Su Niang carefully, and said softly: "Should the epilepsy not have happened?" The face is also good," paused, and his face was gloomy, "My sister Siya has gone to ......"

Qi Su Niang heard him mention the fourth sister, and she was the same as the original little Brother Cui, her heart was completely at peace, her fingers let go of the hairpin, and stretched out from her sleeve. She knew that Cui Hao's fourth sister was brought up by him since she was a child, and she was very different, so she took extra care of her who also suffered from epilepsy, and comforted her softly: "Little Brother Cui......"

Cui Hao stared at Qi Su Niang, "Fortunately, your illness is cured...... " Without waiting for Qi Su Niang to comfort him again, he turned to a smile and said: "Su Niang, I didn't even know that you could do the math, and you still said that I was hiding it from you." ”

Qi Su Niang pouted and said: "I was young at the time, but I had some foundation, and I learned serious arithmetic from the Chen family, so I didn't hide it from you." ”

Cui Hao listened to her parroting, laughing and laughing, and said in a softer voice: "Okay, it's all my fault." ”

Qi Su Niang grinned and asked about Cui Hao's recent situation, Cui Hao saw that she was still close to him on the boat, and she was not as chaste and quiet as she asked, and she couldn't help but rejoice in her heart. He was less restrained, so he didn't stand far away like Fang Cai, and while answering with a smile, he walked up to her, "Su Niang, is he good to you?" ”

Qi Su Niang was stunned for a moment, looked at Cui Hao, and saw that although his eyes were sharp, his face was full of soft and warm color, and she couldn't help but nod slowly, "Okay." ”

Cui Hao sighed slightly, and finally nodded and said: "Since you sold to their family, you married a serious wife, and it's good to think about it, but it's just ......" His eyes were full of worry, "The prince and the eldest brother ......"

When Qi Su Niang thought of this, she panicked in her heart, and reluctantly said: "The emperor still values him, so he transferred me to the Qianqing Palace, in the end, the emperor is with him, and the prince doesn't dare to pass." After a pause, he said, "Don't worry, I have my own way." ”

Cui Hao nodded slowly, but before he could speak, Qi Su Niang smiled and said, "Little Brother Cui, you are so proud now, how many officials are you?" When they all came to the eighth master, they didn't tell me in detail? ”

Xiao Cui smiled bitterly and whispered: "Can you tell the things of the masters?" Just don't see it. It's just a bought minion, but it's just working for the masters, what's there to be proud of? It's you-" Cui Hao stared at Qi Su Niang, and said softly: "Since I have met a good person, he is also a serious official who has been promoted, and you will also be the wife of the official family in the future, and you must not act as casually as an hour in the future." Especially men and women, you should be careful of your duty-" sighed, "I took you with me every day, and I always mixed with those boys, and I didn't teach you this-"

Qi Su Niang especially remembered that she and Xiao Cui were inseparable day by day on the boat, and the girl's braids were also taught by Xiao Cui to tie them, where did I hear him say these rules, and said with a comforting smile: "Brother Xiao Cui, don't worry, the rules in the palace are big, the rules of the girl's family, I don't know how much, I'm honest, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Cui Hao heard her talk about the rules of the palace, sighed again, and stared at her, "Those brothers are just looking for fun, that is, coaxing you, and you don't have any foundation, and when you enter the mansion, you are a concubine with no name - the prince begged the queen mother to reward the female official, and now I am afraid that I will forget about it." ”

Qi Su Niang nodded, "I understand." ”

Cui Hao smiled slightly, "I think you understand this." He looked at Qi Su Niang, was silent for a long time, and then pondered: "Do you remember the lotus incense and double rainbow that you sold to the governor's mansion with me?" ”

Qi Su Niang heard him mention the past, she couldn't remember the appearance of Lianxiang and Shuanghong, she only remembered that the two girls were the most prominent and liked to come to Xiao Cui to play, not a few years older than her, she couldn't help but nodded, and said: "It's those two girls, because of the two of us, looking for opportunities to bully me day and night." ”

Cui Hao didn't expect her to say this, he smiled dumbly, the hesitation in his eyes dissipated a lot, and he couldn't help but flick her forehead again, and said, "It's all nonsense, can't I see who bullied whom?" The two of them also had some looks like they were out of the house, they all loved to take the lead, and they didn't listen to my advice, so they looked for an opportunity to enter the young master's room. ”

Because this governor's son was raised in the same year as Chen Yan, it is rare for the full flag and noble lord to get ahead without relying on his father's shadow, Qi Su Niang has always remembered that this son is also a real person, although it is not a good thing to be a concubine, Lianxiang and Shuanghong must not be willing to do rough work as slaves and maids for the rest of their lives, and they are about to ask them about their current situation with a smile. Cui Hao's face was filled with sadness, "Within a year, a child who was two months pregnant hanged herself, and the other said that she had an affair with someone, and she rushed to the countryside village with a groom, and died in less than half a year." Qi Su Niang was horrified in her heart, and she couldn't speak with her mouth open.

"Grandma Fuli, now because she is too jealous and too infamous, the old lady doesn't like it. If it weren't for the fact that she was born in the Dong E clan of the Manqi clan, her uncle was the emperor's favorite minister, and she had a little young master, I am afraid it would be difficult. ”

Qi Su Niang didn't expect that they had only been separated for two years, and they were separated by heaven and man, and they didn't know what it was like for a while, but seeing Cui Hao's sadness, she opened her mouth to persuade: "Little Brother Cui......"

Xiao Cui laughed, "Don't worry, I understand very well." Those of us who have no foundation, if we refuse to be slaves in peace and meet a powerful master, this is the end. I'm just worried about you......" Cui Hao slowly touched Qi Su Niang's head and pondered for a long time, "Su Niang, you need to remember one thing."

Qi Su Niang was so excited by the cold air on his fingertips that she shivered, and when she saw him say this, she didn't know why, so she nodded and said, "Brother Cui, you just have to say."

"No matter how it spreads, I know that you are a person who refuses to be wronged in your bones, otherwise you wouldn't have risked your life to escape. It's just that God has blessed us now, and we must be safe and secure in the future. I want to listen to my master's words and do errands, and you must also have some reverence for your husband......" sighed, and said slowly: "If he enters the concubine room in the future, you must treat it kindly, take a few steps back in everything, and do not be jealous and angry, nor do you use some subordinate means to harm people's lives." ”

Qi Su Niang never expected him to say such a thing, she was stunned, she wanted to say something, thinking about the comfort and care she received when she opened her eyes when she came to this world, and the old cotton clothes at the bottom of the suitcase, but she couldn't say it, and then she thought about her original plan, so she didn't say a word, just looked at Cui Hao.

Cui Hao looked at her face, sighed, and said, "Su Niang, I'm all for your good." He has the emperor's blue eye, and if he has some credit, he will always be promoted in the future. Although the palace maid is more noble than ordinary people, but you bought it from his family, you have no foundation, and you have no mother's family to rely on, if you don't occupy a virtuous name, get some husband's respect and love, where can you suppress the concubine with a foundation sent from outside? I'm afraid the days to come will be sad. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to straighten the messy hair around Qi Su Niang's ear, and said softly: "I heard that you also have a brother?" If you are a good person, move around more on weekdays, and help left and right, although you are not a relative, you can be regarded as a member of your mother's family. ”

Qi Su Niang barely held back the coldness of Xiao Cui's fingers, looked at him for a long time, and nodded slowly. Qi Su Niang saw him thinking about everything, and was full of worries about her family affairs, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Cui, don't worry, I will save some money and buy a few acres of land. ”

Cui Hao sighed: "Haven't you heard that there are many things in front of the widow's door? A lone woman has no husband or children, and no man to support the door, even if she has money, she may not be able to keep it, and she will always be deceived. ”

Qi Su Niang was stunned for a moment, thinking of Shen Yuezhi who was entangled by the rogue disciples by the Qinhuai River, and was about to speak, but Cui Hao smiled and said: "Your reputation for saving money is very powerful, and it is said that it is a dime a dime, and you can't get in or out." It's also thanks to the queen mother and the emperor who favor him, and no one is too embarrassed for you - you hurry up and get out of the palace, the days are long, I'm afraid there will be an accident. ”

After saying this, Cui Hao slowly withdrew his hand, put on a tiger skin hat, as if he was about to leave, Qi Su Niang looked at him, and said suddenly: "Little Brother Cui, your hands are so cold, remember to wear more." ”

Cui Hao looked stunned, looked at Qi Su Niang for a while, suddenly burst into laughter, stepped forward and hugged Qi Su Niang, as if he was warming her in the carriage, and let her face cling to the smooth and warm green fox skin, "Siya, this won't be cold......
