Chapter 18: Changes in People's Minds (1)

After Cuixin washed her clothes, she didn't go back to the maid's room immediately, but returned to Shen Yuechen's house again.

Now, Wu's mother also has a separate bedroom to rest, and she doesn't have to be crowded with the maids anymore, so Shen Yuechen asked her to go back to rest early.

After Wu's mother left, Shen Yuechen sat back at the table, quietly looking at everything in the room, but saw Cui Xin come back.

Cui Xin looked preoccupied, deliberately stayed in her room and had nothing to do, and when she saw that the teapot on the table was a little cold, she hurriedly picked it up and walked out: "Miss, this tea is cold, the slave will go and change a pot of hot one for you." ”

Shen Yuechen saw that her expression was different, and said, "No need, I want to sleep." ”

"Oh." Cui Xin put the teapot again, walked over and waited for her to change her clothes and go to bed, she hung up her clothes lightly, and helped Shen Yuechen to lie on the bed, looking a little cramped and uneasy, as if she had done something wrong.

Cui Xin saw that she had almost done everything she could do, so she got up and saluted: "Miss, rest early." Will the slave and maid keep a vigil for you tonight? ”

Shen Yuechen looked at her a little strangely: "Why?" ”

Cui Xin lowered her head and muttered in a tone: "The slave is worried that the young lady will not be used to changing places for a while, and when she is thirsty in the middle of the night, she also needs someone to serve her......"

After getting along for so long, Shen Yuechen has already figured out Cuixin's temperament, knowing that she is a person who can't hide things in her heart, and she is timid, and she often feels panicked because of some trivial things.

Shen Yuechen let her stay, and slept on the soft couch by the window, while she took the book at random and flipped through two pages at random, and sure enough, when she turned to the fourth page, she heard her ask cautiously: "Miss, can the slave ask you something?" ”

Shen Yuechen closed the book and said lightly: "Just ask whatever you want." ”

Cui Xin got up and took the fan, sat beside her, fanned her one by one, and asked cautiously, "Miss, are you really going to get married?" ”

Shen Yuechen was stunned when she heard this, she never expected that she would suddenly ask this, and sat up straight and looked at her.

Cui Xin knew that she had asked something she shouldn't ask, she lowered her head slightly, her eyes didn't dare to look at Shen Yuechen, her hands twisted the corners of her clothes, and she didn't know how to go on for a while, listening to the cicadas outside the window, she couldn't help but be a little upset.

Shen Yuechen handed her the book in his hand, patted her head, and said softly, "What?" Did you hear any more gossip? ”

Cui Xin first shook her head, then nodded, and said in a slurred voice: "When I passed by the room just now, I heard Sister Chunming and the others say...... said that the young lady would marry into the Zhu family, and there would be a maid to marry......"

Shen Yuechen lowered his eyes when he heard this, his slender eyelashes covered the sharp gaze inside, and he secretly sneered in his heart: Are those maids so impatient? Now, the first seven days of the Zhu family's grandmother Qin have not passed, and they are looking forward to wanting to marry and become aunts, which is really ridiculous.

"What else did they say?"

Cui Xin glanced at her cautiously and said in a low voice, "The slave only hears so many ......"

Shen Yuechen said quietly: "Hearing these words, are you worried?" Are you worried that I won't take you with me when I go to Zhu's house in the future? ”

"Miss-" Cui Xin looked at Shen Yuechen, with a worried and slightly pleading look on her face, and her voice trembled slightly: "The slave is always clumsy, so Miss is worried...... However, the slave maid wants to follow the young lady for the rest of her life, even if it is to be a cow or a horse......"

Shen Yuechen interrupted her halfway, looked at her and said with a smile: "I'm not a farmer who cultivates the land, and I don't need any cattle and horses." ”

Cui Xin lowered her head and muttered, "The slave is stupid and can't speak, Miss is not strange." ”

Shen Yuechen saw that she looked like she was about to cry, and she was relieved and said, "No matter what others say, you just need to focus on doing your part." Spring Tea and they are all people dialed by the old lady, no matter whether they do well or not in the future, I will turn a blind eye. If you don't want to be pressed down by them, then use more snacks, do things well, be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't be caught by others. ”

When Cui Xin heard this, she was slightly stunned, and looked up at Shen Yuechen again, only to see that she had a serious face and no smile on her face.

Now, even if the old lady treats her affectionately, in this family, she does not have the ability to make decisions for anyone.

Shen Yuechen lay flat on the bed again, Cui Xin saw her eyes closed, and hurriedly stepped forward to gently lower the bed curtain: "It's all to blame for the slave and maid's mouth, please Miss, you have a good rest, and the slave and maid will retreat." ”

Shen Yuechen turned sideways to face the bed, closed her eyes and said, "You can stay and keep vigil tonight, and comb my hair after Ming'er gets up in the morning." ”

Hearing this, Cui Xin paused, lay back on the soft couch, looked at the young lady sleeping in the gauze tent, and suddenly felt steady.

Early the next morning, Shen Yuechen got up early as usual, and saw the refreshed Cui Xin waiting by the bed with a basin of water, smiling, and her face completely lost the worry of last night.

When the three of Chunming came over, Shen Yuechen was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, wearing a half-new gown, and let Cuixin slowly help her dry her hair.

Seeing this, Chun Ming hurriedly did not want to be left behind, and leaned up to look at Shen Yuechen's expression, and praised with envy: "Miss, your hair is really beautiful." ”

Cui Xin, who was originally quietly combing her hair, saw her coming, and her hand paused slightly, but then pulled the corners of her mouth again, and said with a smile: "Sister Chunming is here." ”

Chun Ming knew that she didn't go back last night and stayed in the young lady's room to keep vigil, and suddenly there was a bit of competition in her heart, and she said to Cui Xin: "Sister Cui Xin, I worked hard last night's vigil, so let me come." After speaking, she couldn't help but say, and raised her hand to take the wooden comb from Cui Xin's hand, and the speed of her movements was surprising.

Chunming has been an errand boy by the old lady's side for three years, and although she has been serving tea, she is also very good at combing her hair. She is very confident in her craft, and she also hopes to have the opportunity to perform well and gain Shen Yuechen's favor.

Sure enough, she not only helped Shen Yuechen dry her hair, but also combed her into a delicate and good-looking bun.

Cui Xin stood aside and watched, pursed her mouth and couldn't say a word, and the self-confidence that she had built up with great difficulty before was half dispelled at once.

After Shen Yuechen cleaned up, the old lady sent someone over to spread the word and asked her to come over and have breakfast together.

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she secretly suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and said to Chun Ming: "You follow me over." ”

When Chun Ming heard this, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face, nodded and said yes, and looked up at Cui Xin again, and suddenly there was a little more smugness and contempt in his eyes.
