Chapter 53: Scratching the face
Because the Dongshan Hunting Ground is far away, everyone is walking. After a day, they are going to rest at the foot of the mountain for a night, and then they will camp at the foot of the mountain and rest, and then go up the mountain tomorrow when it is daylight.
On this trip, the tents they carried were simpler, in fact, they mainly lived with the guards and their subordinates, and the so-called nobles were still sitting in the carriage, after all, there was everything they wanted in the carriage, it was a small mobile space, and they did not delay rest.
Zhou Yunyi fell asleep during the day when he was shaken by the carriage, but when he was really ready to sleep at night, he couldn't sleep.
Xiao Chengze felt insomnia over trivial matters.
"Let's play mahjong for a while!" Zhou Yunyi proposed.
Xiao Chengze said: "Who will bring mahjong? Let's just go hunting, okay? ”
In ancient times, this was a proper way to go out. If not something important? There are more than 100 mahjong that will not be carried at all, and it is heavy and occupies space, who will be idle and have nothing to take him.
"Xiao Chengyu must have brought it." Zhou Yunyi said confidently.
"Xiao Chengyu can also play mahjong. Why didn't I know? ”
Xiao Chengyu's old prince was because of it before? That's why one was built. It's not that the royal family gave him a pocket, and he was replaced by an ordinary family. and took away his wife and daughter to pay his debts.
Xiao Chengyu is really good and doesn't learn bad.
Zhou Yunyi also suddenly realized this problem. Xiao Chengyu playing mahjong is not a secret, but Xiao Chengze doesn't know.
Xiao Chengyu only played mahjong as a pastime, and did not invest too much energy in him. It's a bit like treating him as a brain-benefiting game, similar to playing the Rubik's Cube in modern times, and playing Luban Lock Nine Rings in ancient times is the same.
Zhou Yunyi felt that there was no problem if he could control himself, because playing mahjong itself was just an entertainment game.
"Xiao Chenzi called Duanwang." Xiao Chengze's whole person became serious, he didn't want Xiao Chengyu to follow in his father's footsteps.
Xiao Chengyu was lying comfortably in the carriage at this time, eating soy sauce and green plums.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is invited." Xiao Chenzi walked to the window of the carriage and stood outside and shouted Xiao Chengyu.
Xiao Chengyu didn't think much about it when he heard Xiao Chengze's sister, and even stuffed two more green plums into his mouth. While chewing the juice, he went to Xiao Chengze's carriage and got into Xiao Chengze's carriage, Xiao Chengyu still gave Xiao Chengze a salute unconventionally, "Brother and sister-in-law." ”
Xiao Chengze came up and kicked Xiao Chengyu in the chest.
Xiao Chengyu was kicked and screamed in pain, and Zhou Yunyi hurriedly went up to stop him. Only then did he stop Xiao Xiao Chengze from kicking the second kick.
"Brother Huang, what is this for?" Xiao Chengyu was lying on the ground, rubbing his chest with his hands, and said aggrievedly.
"What? It's just beating you and teaching you a lesson that doesn't know the depths. Xiao Chengze made it to the chair and slapped the table with his palm.
"I ask you, do you really like to play mahjong on weekdays?"
Xiao Chengze asked angrily.
Xiao Chengyu finally knew why he was beaten. was no longer aggrieved, but got up from the ground and quickly knelt down to Xiao Chengze. Holding the corner of Xiao Chengze's clothes, he said, "Brother Huang, I was wrong, I won't dare next time, I'll go and throw the mahjong away immediately." ”
Xiao Chengze covered his head with his right hand, and he hit a few times just now, but it was just a temptation.
Even if Xiao Chengze knew that what Zhou Yunyi said was extremely credible, he still had the last glimmer of hope in his heart, although his younger brother was usually mediocre and useless, he would not be so depraved.
Xiao Chengze couldn't hold back his emotions anymore, and opened his mouth to scold: "Uncle was addicted to gambling back then. My grandfather was furious, and finally drove the crane west, and now you have to learn his old ways? ”
"It's 18 years old, but now, if you really just want to be a rich prince, it's okay. But which one of your films today is not a replica of your father's way back then? ”
Xiao Chengze scolded Xiao Chengyu with a painful head and face, and the old prince was already in his 20s. He doesn't do his job, he doesn't study hard, he doesn't study, he doesn't practice, he doesn't keep fit, he doesn't defend his family and the country, he just nests at home every day and plays birds and crickets.
Originally, Xiao Chengze's grandfather thought that if he got a princess, he would change his temperament and settle down. Be a responsible person and take responsibility for yourself.
However, the nature of the country is easy to change, but who knows, after marrying the princess, Lao Wang not only did not restrain himself, but also became more and more presumptuous, and even ignored his wife and children and the whole service, and indulged in gambling with others.
Gambling money is also lost every time the bet, gambling is still unwilling, to increase their chips, so as to turn the tables, the old prince's desire is getting bigger and bigger, like a huge snowball, on the verge of an avalanche, to the back of the development of even to mortgage the real estate field, to gamble. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor wiped his ass for his unlucky brother who didn't make people worry, I'm afraid he would have really ruined all the family backgrounds.
Xiao Chengyu couldn't raise his head when he was scolded, of course he knew that it was not good, he was young back then, but he didn't live a hard life with him, and those days were bitter, I'm afraid that even the people on the street were not as good.
Xiao Chengyu couldn't help crying. Zhou Yunyi saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly came up to persuade Xiao Chengze, after all, this matter came out of his mouth, and he was hiding and pretending now. Can't see it, and it's not good.
Xiao Chengyu can be regarded as his good buddy.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry, it's not good if you're angry."
Zhou Yunyi always calls Xiao Chengze's name when he speaks on weekdays, but now he deliberately changed it to His Majesty. That is, he can be coaxed to dissipate his anger first.
Xiao Chengze glared at Zhou Yunyi with his eyes, signaling her not to talk more. Whether it is the emperor teaching his courtiers, or the elder brother teaching his younger brother. There is no need for a queen or sister-in-law to intervene.
"When I return to the palace, I will immediately give you the position of a petty official, and don't follow the court step by step every day when you have nothing to do." Xiao Chengze also knew that he couldn't keep scolding for this kind of thing, but also gave grace and encouragement, and followed the good path.
Xiao Chengyu's current life was scared away by Xiao Chengze early, how dare he say that it is not.
As soon as Xiao Chengze arranged for him, he nodded again and again. Didn't dare to resist at all.
Xiao Chengyu was taught a lesson. After a while. In my own carriage. Zhou Yunyi also wanted to give himself a big mouth, what was he for? Gotta have more of that, if he doesn't say that. The journey will be safe, but it's because he has more mouths to fix it now. Even her. The atmosphere between him and Xiang Chengze has cooled down, not to mention entertainment, now he even feels uncomfortable talking.
Zhou Yunyi returned a little gloomy. Own carriage.
I changed my clothes and got ready for bed, but who knew I just lay down. Before I could fall asleep, I heard the sound of someone riding a carriage, and finally immediately. Turn around and open your eyes to see who it is,
Xiao Chengze is very familiar with the road. I took off my boots and lay down on the bed.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Yunyi asked Xiao Chengze
Xiao Chengze did not answer Zhou Yunyi's question, but asked her instead, "It should be me asking you, why did you leave?" ”
Why go, of course, because of embarrassment. The two of them sit together and don't speak, it's embarrassing to die.
Zhou Yunyi casually found a reason, "It's late, come back and sleep!" ”
"Well, it's late, go to bed!" After Xiao Chengze finished speaking, he slept quietly on the bed.
Zhou Yunyi also yawned sleepily, and fell asleep within two minutes after lying down.
Zhou Yunyi was woken up by the carriage the next day, and now the large army has entered the mountainous area, the mountain roads in the mountainous area are relatively steep, and they are not smooth enough, and the potholed stones on the ground greatly affect the speed of advance.
Zhou Yunyi found that Xiao Chengze hadn't woken up today.
On weekdays, Xiao Chengze goes to the morning court and wakes up very early every day, and Zhou Yunyi has always been bedridden, but she didn't expect that she would get up earlier than Xiao Chengze in the morning today.
Xiao Chengze looks handsome when he sleeps, especially this side face, which is angular and angular, plus a slightly bronzed skin, and the whole is a handsome guy with black skin.
Zhou Yunyi couldn't help but admire Xiao Chengze's sleeping face. The slightly discordant thing is Xiao Chengze's stubble that comes out for a short time.
In ancient times, there were no electric razors, and they could only be used every time they shaved. You carry out a small knife that specializes in shaving. In fact, it is a small knife, but it is just a small detail bar than a kitchen knife or something, which can be better controlled, and it is still far from the eyebrow trimming knife of the 21st century.
Xiao Chengze finally opened his eyes slowly. As soon as he opened his eyes, what caught his eye was Zhou Yunyi staring straight at him.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Chengze asked Zhou Yunyi.
"Look at you again!" Zhou Yunyi replied.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment last night, Zhou Yunyi took the initiative to break the ice.
"I'll help you shave in a moment!"
Xiao Chengze is naturally happy to enjoy Zhou Yunyi's service and take care of himself.
"Okay."
Xiao Chengze readily agreed. But just when he sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked Zhou Yunyi to help him shave, he felt that his hair was upside down, Zhou Yunyi didn't shave at all, don't underestimate shaving, it is a very test of personal skills, and the slightest carelessness will scratch the skin.
Zhou Yunyi began to do it under the guidance of the palace maid, although the first scraping was not very smooth, but the technique was correct, so Zhou Yunyi continued to scrape down according to this technique.
Zhou Yunyi advanced little by little, the black stubble was immediately broken under the blade in the wind, Xiao Chengze watched Zhou Yuanyi's technique gradually become skilled, no longer with both hands like at the beginning, but more steadily and ruthlessly than at the beginning, and began to feel at ease.
Who knows, as soon as Xiao Chengze relaxed, Zhou Yunyi used a knife to cut the skin on his chin, opening an opening, and blood seeped out of it.
"Does it hurt?" Zhou Yunyi hurriedly hugged Xiao Chengze with a handkerchief, and the blood that oozed out.
"It doesn't hurt." It's just a small opening, and there's really no need to cry and say that it's painful, let alone a cut by his wife.
"I'll have someone go get a medicine kit to get some medicine for you." Zhou Yunyi was going to take the anti-inflammatory drugs in the medicine box and wipe them on Xiao Chengze.
"Xiao Chenzi went to fetch the medicine box." Zhou Yunyi shouted as he opened the curtain on the carriage.
Xiao Chengze soon appeared at the window, but he didn't care at all, he just said to Xiao Chenzi: "No need, it's just a small wound, why bother so much, everyone can do whatever they want?" ”
The few words they were chatting with happened to be heard by Su Gu Chacha, who was in the carriage behind.
