Chapter 139, ten days in the blink of an eye
[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, April 14, noon, in the Tsing Yi Wei Prison, Jiazi No. 11 Heavenly Prison]
Since Xu Ke himself locked himself in the edict prison, it has been ten days in a blink of an eye.
For Xu Ke, these ten days have passed extremely long, but also seem to be extremely fast.
Sometimes, he feels that ten days are like the peach blossoms in the back garden of his Xu Mansion, which have quietly bloomed unconsciously, and everything has passed quietly unconsciously......
His mood at the moment is also like those quietly blooming peach blossoms in the back garden, opening for the first time, the flowers are fragrant and fragrant.
Although he stayed in the Imperial Prison, he felt that his life had not changed much every day, eating a "Tsing Yi Weijia meal", sleeping on a warm bedding, living in a clean room, and even everything he needed was quite complete.
The most important thing is that every day of his life, there is a girl who is taking care of him, and this kind of intimate and comprehensive care is even better than his usual life in Xu Mansion......
This girl's name is Mingyue.
On the night of the fourth day of the fourth month of April, Xu Ke couldn't resist Mingyue, so he had to let her sleep on his own bed, find a corner by himself, and lie down with his clothes.
However, Mingyue made a request, if Xu Ke didn't agree, he wouldn't sleep in bed if he died!
She wants to wash Xu Ke's feet.
Xu Ke couldn't be forced, so he could only agree.
Mingyue took the foot basin, made a basin of hot water, and used her white and soft little hands to personally wash Xu Ke's feet for a long time.
Although Xu Ke was ashamed in his heart, a pair of big feet soaked in the footbasin were also washed by Mingyue and became extremely comfortable.
Mingyue not only waited for Xu Ke to wash his feet, but also cleaned the cell again, and used the extra blanket to set up a temporary floor in the corner of the cell, until after serving Xu Ke to lie down, he returned to his big bed, blew out the lights and candles, and the two slept separately.
That night, the two of them slept peacefully, "autumn did not commit any crimes", and both of them slept until dawn the next day.
After the fifth day of the fourth month, Ding Chunqiu was the first to visit Xu Ke in the Imperial Prison.
Xu Ke ordered Ding Datou at that time to let him take Mingyue away no matter what!
However, Mingyue kept shaking her head and refused to leave the edict no matter what!
In the end, Mingyue fell to her knees and cried......
She cried and said that she was alone in the inn, lonely all day long, and frightened all night, just because there were always some prodigal children next to her, who came to harass her, intimidate her, and molested her...... She was afraid that if she was not careful, she would be robbed by those prodigal children!
Xu Ke hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to pick up Mingyue on the ground, but Mingyue cried bitterly and said aggrievedly, if Lord Xu didn't agree to her stay in the Imperial Prison, she would kneel on the ground!
Even Ding Chunqiu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but be moved to almost tears after seeing this scene, Ding Datou persuaded with emotion, Lord Xu, what Mingyue said also makes sense, Chang'an City is full of prodigal children, and there are some homeless people who do not obey the king's law, Mingyue is a weak girl, you tell her to stay outside alone, in case she is taken by a group of prodigal children, or robbed by some homeless thieves, then the adults have bothered to save people before, isn't it in vain? Adults are good people to the end, and in the past few days, they will let Mingyue stay in the edict prison, and when the adults are released from prison, they will give Mingyue a proper arrangement to love me
Xu Ke couldn't help but widen his eyes, pointed to the cell, and asked:
"What will people think of me if you let her live here with me in this cell?
No, this time, Ding Chunqiu raised his voice in front of Xu Qianhu:
"Lord Xu, don't you often say, 'The body is upright, and you are not afraid of the shadow'? You have always kept this sentence of the Lord in your heart! Today, I can't imagine that Lord Xu will also be afraid of those gossips? If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why should you be afraid of others saying about you?!"
Xu Ke really fell for Ding Chunqiu's agitated plan, and when he heard this, he immediately sneered:
"I'll have a ghost in my heart? Okay, you can let Mingyue live here until I get out of prison!
So, Mingyue finally got her wish and lived in the No. 11 prison of Jiazi.
Ding Chunqiu was empathetic after all, and he did two things in a row, the first was to order someone to build a small wooden bed in Xu Ke's cell, on which the bedding and blankets were all complete. Second, he explicitly ordered the prison to not have the slightest discussion about the things in Lord Xu's cell, and if he saw someone talking nonsense behind his back, he would not be spared!
Since then, Mingyue has become a "prisoner" in the edict prison where people in the world talk about tiger changes, and he is also an extremely happy "prisoner", I am afraid that since the establishment of the edict prison for more than 200 years, Mingyue is still the first person to live in the edict prison so happily and excitedly!
The No. 11 cell of Azi was specially reserved by Ding Chunqiu for Li Junxian at that time, and it was almost the largest cell in the entire No. A cell. After the two wooden beds were erected in the cell, the interior was still very spacious.
Mingyue stayed in the cell every day, and when she was almost idle, after she got up early in the morning, she began to fetch water and scrub to sweep the floor in the cell. After Xu Ke got up, she had to serve Xu Ke to dress and wash, and personally arranged the three meals a day sent by the guards, watching Xu Ke eat, she was happier than anything else. And when it came to going to bed at night, no matter how Xu Ke refused to shirk it, she always had to wash Xu Ke's feet in person......
All in all, even if she is the best personal maid in the world, she may not be as dedicated as Mingyue when she takes care of her master.
Xu Ke refused in every possible way at the beginning, but he couldn't help Mingyue begging with "tears" from time to time, and over time, he became accustomed to Mingyue's care, and later, he actually felt that his life in the edict had become a little inseparable from Mingyue.
Time is so strange, and time has the power to change everything. Xu Ke and Mingyue had only been in the cell for ten days, and both of them felt extremely close, as if the two had already known each other.
However, at night, the two always sleep in separate beds, and they are always "autumn without committing any crimes"!
Sometimes, Mingyue walked out of the prison door, fetched water and food, washed and dried, and occasionally heard a guard whispering in the corner, as if talking about her and Xu Qianhu, she also smiled, not caring at all, and even, she could be talked about by the people below like this, she felt sweet in her heart!
Naturally, Ding Chunqiu also came to visit every day, and Xu Ke liked him more and more for his old subordinate.
Nangong Buyu, Zhang Muye, Gu Caixiang, and even Zhu Leyun and others almost all came to visit Xu Ke in the edict prison. When they saw that there was such a cell comparable to the upper room of an inn in the edict prison, they couldn't help but light up in their eyes, and when they saw Xu Ke beside him, there was a peerless woman accompanying him, and the sympathy that had been prepared in their eyes turned into envy every time:
This Xu Qianhu, where is he here to go to prison, he is clearly here to enjoy!
......
At noon on April 14, Mingyue brought the "Tsing Yi Weijia Meal" as usual and placed it on the square table in the cell, Xu Ke put down the scroll, washed his hands, and then sat down at the table and had lunch with Mingyue.
At this time, the guards came to report that someone from outside the cell had come to visit!
