Back at Sibeile Mansion, Huizhu hurriedly said goodbye to the Wulanala clan, and returned to her small courtyard for less than a cup of tea, when she saw Xiao Luzi, the little eunuch next to Yinzhen, come to the main house with a smile on his face and said: "The slave is happy to Gege." The master said that tonight in Gege, you will rest. ”

Su Xin saw that Huizhu didn't say anything, so he smiled and said: "It's really annoying that Father-in-law Lu made a special trip, this is a small amount of money for drinking tea, and please don't dislike it." Xiao Luzi took the silver with a smile, and then gave Huizhu a thousand words: "Slave Xie Gege reward, Gege just came out of the palace, he must be tired, the slave will not bother, and the slave will retire." ”

Huizhu returned to her senses and smiled at Xiao Luzi: "Father-in-law walks slowly, Su Xin will send my father-in-law out for me." ”

Why did Yinzhen come to her? Is it because of today's events or is it time for her to go to bed? It's almost a month since the days were counted. didn't think much about Huizhu, Su Xin had already begun to arrange the bedroom, looking for the clothes to wear tonight's bed, and thinking about making sure that Yinzhen was satisfied with tonight's bed.

Huizhu waited until the second was over, and Yinzhen finally took Xiao Luzi late. At this time, Hye-jin was already leaning on the couch and falling asleep.

As soon as Su Xin came out of the main house, he saw Yinzhen and Xiao Luzi, and hurriedly knelt down and asked for peace: "Slave maid, please be safe." ”

Yinzhen gave a light sigh and called Su Xin to get up, Su Xin thought about going back to the house to inform Huizhu, not wanting to be stopped by Yinzhen: "You don't need to pass it on, I'll go in by myself." You and Xiao Luzi go and prepare some soup for bathing. ”

Su Xin and Xiao Luzi agreed, and Xiao Luzi asked again: "Master, you ate a few pieces of dim sum at night, and you have been busy until now, how about the slave ask the kitchen to get you some side dishes?" Yin Zhen listened, paused slightly, and said, "Well, be lighter." With that, he waved them down and walked straight to Huizhu's bedroom.

This is the second time Yinzhen has come here, and the first time he came, he didn't look at it much, but he remembered that the furniture in the house was relatively new. Now I found that the whole room was arranged simply and generously, but there was a faint warmth, and I didn't wait to look at it, so I walked towards the bedroom, and when I entered the inner room, I found that the owner of the house had fallen asleep on the couch, and I had time to look at Huizhu's bedroom.

Entering the house is directly opposite the west side of the set up an iron pear pattern warped head desk, on the desk is placed a notebook, a few idle books, a treasure inkstone and dark brown carved pen holder, the pen holder inserted a lot of pens, but most of them are half-old unbelievable, I think it is often used. On the other side of the desk is a celadon vase with a few pale yellow juju flowers inserted into the vase. On both sides of the desk, on the left is a kang mat covered with a thick mattress, on the right is a rosewood frame, and on the shelf is an ordinary potted plant.

At this time, Huizhu was resting on the couch by the window opposite the stepping bed, and there was a thick yellow book on the long row of rosewood carved tables next to the couch.

After some scrutiny, Yinzhen sat casually on the embroidered pier under the right hand of the carved table as if in his own bedroom, and picked up the book to read. Yin Chen wanted to flip through the pages at will to pass the time, but he didn't expect that this book was actually a Chinese translation of Marco Polo's travels, and there were English letters written on the first page of the book. Yin Zhen looked at it carefully for a while, and looked up at this Xinna's Gege in some surprise.

She has a young and round face, trimmed eyebrows, a small nose tip, and ruddy lips that are slightly pursed at this moment, looking a little playful. I still remember that in the past month since entering the house, whether it is Gao De or Xiao Luzi's report, she is a quiet existence, and she has been living a low-key life; By the way, she was low-key and even a little timid, and ...... Can't say it, Yin Zhen shook his head, he didn't want to think about it, this was just one of his many wives and concubines, she didn't need to think about it, she just had to live in peace.

Huizhu was half-asleep when she heard some sounds, opened her sleepy eyes dimly, and instantly fell into a pair of impenetrable eyes. Immediately, Huizhu suddenly sobered up, got up from the soft couch in a hurry, and asked An dryly: "Concubine please Da'an." ”

Yin Zhen turned his gaze back, looked down at the book in his hand, and said lightly: "You like travelogue books, and you also know Western characters." ”

Huizhu covered her surprise when she opened her eyes and saw Yinzhen, settled down, lowered her head and replied: "The concubine's cousin often tells the concubine about human geography and the like, and the gentleman who the concubine invited when she was a child got acquainted with a priest, and the gentleman also learned some foreign languages. Therefore, the concubine was also fortunate to come into contact with some Western languages and foreign people's items with her husband. Huizhu didn't lie about this, Mr. Yu, who gave her when she was a child, knew some English, and she was very happy at the time, so she pretended to be interested and followed Mr. Yu to learn English.

"Well, you should be good at learning Western literature, do you still often read this Western language?" Yin Zhen asked casually

Huizhu's mind flipped very quickly, and she replied after consideration: "The concubine's qualifications are blunt, and she knows a little about Western languages, and it is very difficult to learn to learn, so she simply gives up, and she doesn't like it very much, so she occasionally takes it out to pass the time." At home, Eniang often teaches that women should focus on women's moral families, and can read some words. ”

Yin Zhen didn't care much about Huizhu's answer, and said something else: "What happened when I met the fourteenth brother in the palace today?" ”

Unexpectedly, Yinzhen suddenly changed the topic, Huizhu was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Yinzhen with a gloomy face, and was stunned, and hurriedly told Yinzhen the cause and effect without concealment. She doesn't think she can deceive Yinzhen, and besides, in this Qing Dynasty, where the husband's power is heavenly, a woman's reputation is so important, she must make it clear.

After being silent for a while, Huizhu added: "The concubine really shouldn't walk around the palace at will, she caused trouble to the lord and Fujin today, and asked the lord to punish her." So saying, he fell to his knees.

Yin Zhen watched Huizhu behave like this and speak, Xiao is a person who understands the rules, but he doesn't pursue it much, and waves his hand casually: "Get up, and pay attention later." ”

It seems that today is considered to have passed the test, Huizhu sighed in her heart, stood up and was about to say thank you, Xiao Luzi led Yuehe into the house with a food box.

Yuehe and Xiao Luzi asked for an answer: "Please master, Gege Da'an." ”

Yin Zhen nodded and didn't speak, watching Xiao Luzi and Yuehe take out the dishes in the food box and put them on the carved table, before instructing Xiao Luzi: "After waiting for half an hour, go and prepare the bathing utensils, no need to call others, just let Niu Hulu serve." I'll rest tomorrow, and you'll go to Fujin House when you're late and say I'll have breakfast here tomorrow. Xiao Luzi answered the call and led Yuehe to retreat to the outside to serve.

At this time, only Yinzhen and Huizhu were left in the bedroom. Although she had already been in the same room once, in the dim and flickering candlelight, in the warm room, Huizhu couldn't help but get nervous.

At this moment, Yin Zhen broke the silence with a squeak and said, "Let's use some together." Although the tone was still faint and unfluctuating, it made Huizhu even more afraid to slack off, and hurriedly walked to Yinzhen's side and sat down to serve him food.

Xiao Luzi did not prepare many dishes, just six dishes, namely: sweet and sour lotus root, jade shoot bracken, almond tofu, crispy ginger preserved eggs, plum blossom cakes and japonica porridge. Huizhu knew that Yinzhen didn't like to talk when he was eating, so he silently served Yinzhen to eat. First, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and put a plum blossom cake in a small plate in front of Yinzhen, and when he saw that he began to eat, he picked up a small blue and white porcelain bowl and put two bowls of japonica porridge for him and her, and then used it to eat.

Yinzhen eats very slowly, and his movements are also very elegant, and Huizhu is waiting to give him no food, while paying attention to his actions from time to time. But after half an hour, Yinzhen ran out, Huizhu hurriedly put down the chopsticks, picked up the mouthwash cup that had been placed in advance and waited for him to rinse his mouth, and handed him the towel that had been warm.

After another quarter of an hour, after Fang waited for Yinzhen to be in place, Hui Zhu said: "Master, the concubine went to ask Yuehe and them to come in and clean up, and by the way, let people prepare the bathing things." After speaking, seeing Yinzhen nodding and agreeing, he went out to make arrangements.
