Chapter Twenty-Six: Warmth
Zhang secretly gritted his teeth, but in front of his mother-in-law, it was not good to say that the old lady had no way to teach his son, and second, he could not scold other people's sons for being bad, even if he was complaining, he could only speak from the perspective of care, which was the experience she had learned as a daughter-in-law for many years.
Sure enough, the old lady was very popular with this set of sayings, and took her hand and sat down on the Luohan bed. Zhang didn't dare to sit down, so he stood aside and wiped his tears aggrievedly.
"Zhang, you are sensible, and you have been wronged all these years. The old lady sighed and took her hand and said: "You also know the temper of the Hou Ye, he is actually not bad-hearted, and he is also hearty among friends, he is sensitive and studious when he is young, if it weren't for the fact that we are noble families and can't participate in the imperial examination, his talent is more than enough to win a single move." ”
Recalling that year, Zhang had to admit that in fact, when Bai Yongchun was young, he looked really human. Their husband and wife have really lived a very loving life.
It's a pity that it's all memories. Because not long after, Bai Yongchun got her roommate first......
The old lady said: "This man, as long as he has the ability and talent to learn, who is not a third wife and four concubines? If he had kept every other one he had collected, he would have been afraid that now he would not only have three sons and two daughters, right? After all, it's all this age, and the focus shouldn't be on whether he's in your room or not. It's that he can't go home after he has had enough. Mother is a person who has come over, these mothers have experienced, you are a transparent person, you should understand. ”
Zhang knew that the old lady was telling the truth. Although she felt uncomfortable, she had to admit that that was the reality of most of the big families in the capital. Although he was wronged and helpless, he had to accept his fate.
Seeing that she had eased up a lot, the old lady said: "As for the matter between us and Wanjia, you must not mention it again in the future." Now this matter must be suppressed, otherwise do you think that once the matter is revealed, will it affect the future of that person?"
Zhang's tears fell suddenly: "Mother, it's because I know this, I've been suffering myself, I ...... Okay, I won't say it, I won't say it if it's rotten in my stomach. But I hate it!"
"You hate, I know, because I hate too. So over the years, you have never opened your mouth to Brother Zhao, I have always turned a blind eye. ”
Isn't it that you want to lend my hand to give you your anger? Zhang thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it like this, so he only lowered his head gently.
"You're a sensible child, and if you can figure it out, it's nothing. As for the Qi family, she is just a little frozen cat, as long as Brother Zhao dies, she is not up to you? The old lady patted Zhang's hand lovingly.
Zhang was stunned: "Mother means to tell me to endure?"
"Yes, forbearance. The old lady smiled and said, "I can't bear it, how can I let them make things bigger? If they don't relax for a while and make things bigger, how can you become famous? Zhang, think for yourself whether this is what I said." ”
When Zhang withdrew from the old lady's room, he was still immersed in her last words. Although today's conversation was not pleasant, there was no doubt that she had learned a lot from her mother-in-law once again.
Yes, compared to the insidious battle, she is a little worse than the old lady, the Hou Ye is the only son of the old lady, and the rest of the concubines and sisters-in-law are not left with the scum who died many years earlier.

In the early morning, the faint light of the sky shines through the window covered with Goryeo paper, coating the interior of the house with a faint halo. Through the lilac hank tent, the light white halo was also filtered with a layer of purple, and it fell on the sleeping Qi Miao, showing that her black hair was like a cloud and her skin was snowy, and Bai Xiyun couldn't bear to look at it.
Bai Xiyun has been sleeping lightly, and the time he can sleep sporadically throughout the day is only two hours. Recently, he has been sleeping better, but he is also waking up early in the morning. He originally wanted to come out of Gong, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Qi Miao sleeping beside him. She slept like an innocent and lovely child, so that he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and he hated to take her with him forever. And she slept well, and he didn't want to go over her and go down to wake her up.
Just stared at her blankly, as if the bloody killings in his memory were gone, he only hoped that she would always be the purest girl, always able to maintain a pure and gentle heart, and not be covered by the haze of hatred. It's something he's going to try to do in his lifetime.
The big hand gently stroked her long hair, and finally landed on her round fragrant shoulders.
Her pale pink bedclothes hung loosely on her shoulders, revealing her pink main waist, and her jade legs were unceremoniously on his legs. From his vantage point, he could clearly see the proud curves of her mountains.
Such a beautiful woman, if she can marry a healthy person, even if she lives a dull life, she is happy.
Bai Xiyun sighed inexplicably.
"Zhao. Qi Miao woke up slowly, her long eyelashes flickered, and her eyes were confused: "What's wrong with you?"
"Nope. Bai Xiyun hugged her: "Let's go to sleep." ”
"Well, what time is it?"
"It's just past midnight. ”
Qi Miao pillowed on his shoulder, smelled the faint medicinal fragrance on his body, and gradually regained consciousness.
As soon as the person woke up, he immediately noticed his posture: pillow his shoulder, hug his waist, one leg was still riding on someone's body, completely used him as a pillow to sleep, and the most important thing was that her thigh seemed to be pressed against him somewhere, and the touch tended to harden a little.
In any case, this sleeping position is too intimate.
Qi Miao woke up completely, hurriedly stepped back, half-propped up and looked at him, "Am I squeezed and you can't sleep?" I don't sleep well, I like to kick the quilt, I used to sleep with my eldest sister in the cold and grabbed the quilt, you ...... Shizi, I'm sorry. He bowed his head in shame.
Bai Xiyun wasted a lot of strength to take his eyes off the half-faded upper circumference of her clothes, "It's nothing, I slept deeply." "Sit up slowly, and you're about to get off the ground.
Qi Miao originally wanted to stop it, but when she thought that she was going to go to the Gong bucket, could she still bring the night pot to him and use it? Not to mention that Bai Xiyun's physical condition was better now, although she would be extremely tired and weak when she walked, she would not have to stay in bed as before.
After a while, the sound of water came from the clean room behind the screen.
Qi Miao blushed, went barefoot and lightly took the sharp hairpin she had hidden under the flower pot, broke her fingertips, dripped the blood into the warm water that had been warm on the table, and squeezed her fingers with her hand to drip the blood into the brass basin on the basin shelf.
Hearing that Bai Xiyun seemed to be coming out, she simply twisted a wet handkerchief in front of him: "Ah Zhao, wash your face." ”
Bai Xiyun stared at her with a pair of white feet, although the burns on her head had healed, the scars were still there.
"Why don't you wear shoes? He hugged her to pull out the bed and sat down, and took a Qi Miao handkerchief to wipe her feet.
"Ah Zhao, that's someone who wiped your face!" Qi Miao was anxious, that was what she wanted to give him for beauty! She deliberately experimented, and a drop of blood in the bath water made her skin smooth. She now believes that the meal ticket cannot be exchanged, of course, she wants to treat the symptoms and cure the root cause, both inside and outside.
Bai Xiyun said: "Let the girl fetch water later." ”
"No, you have to wash it now, and I'll wipe my feet after you've washed it." Qi Miao took back the veil again, afraid that the soles of her feet would dirty the sheets, so she simply knelt on the edge of the bed and sat down according to him, and pressed him to wipe his face.
The wet veil slid across his full forehead, the bridge of his nose, his emaciated cheeks, his stubble chin and then his neck.
Qi Miao wiped him carefully, and during this time, he went to wash the handkerchief again, and even his hands grabbed the palms, the backs of his hands, and even every finger between.
Her expression was focused, and what she thought in her heart was that this was beauty water, and it couldn't be wasted.
But in Bai Xiyun's eyes, her seriousness is his concern and greatest tenderness. I can't be more moved in my heart.
"That's it!" Qi Miao smiled and raised her head, unexpectedly wanted to crash into his eyes, immediately opened her eyes in a panic, went down to the ground to wipe her feet first, and poured Bai Xiyun a cup of warm water that had just been processed, thinking that if he drank other water first in the future, he would not be thirsty, and the health plan she customized for him would not work, so he added domineeringly: "A cup of warm water in the morning in the future must be brought to you by me." ”
Bai Xiyun drank a glass of water with a smile, and then asked with the corners of his lips crooked: "Is Mrs. telling her husband that she will wake up with me every morning in the future?"
Qi Miao's face turned red all of a sudden. This product has too strong comprehension ability, and can understand a good sentence as "the earth is long"!
She did not dare to be alone with him any longer, lest she should become a love story when she spoke, and she called for someone to come in and serve.
In fact, Ailian's family had already heard the movement outside, and they were waiting for the master's orders.
After washing up and having breakfast, Binglian came in and replied: "Hui Shizi, madam, there was news just now. It was said that Mrs. Hou caught the maid who was doing things on the teapot, and she would be punished with a cane later. ”
In my memory, there were also servants in General Qi's mansion who made mistakes and wanted to hit the board.
The left and right do not hurt their lives, presumably the person who secretly used his hands and feet during the tea ceremony actually did what Mrs. An Luhou thought, right?
Qi Miao didn't speak, but after carefully diagnosing and treating Bai Xiyun's pulse, she and Dr. Li carefully modified a few flavors of medicine in the recipe, and went to the stove to decoct the medicine in person.
She is also knowledgeable about decoction, and she is naturally well versed in it.
Dr. Li had extraordinary medical skills, and seeing that Qi Miao was not only smart but also good at studying, and as if he had already read medical classics such as "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", he felt more and more that someone was very happy to discuss medicine, so he went to the stove to talk to her.
Not long after, a maidservant girl came to the gate of Qinyuan to spread the word, "The old lady invites the prince and his wife to go to the Splendid Garden." ”
