Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 4 A Cheat Book

Zhu Xiuyuan was half leaning on the head of the bed, and there was still a dull pain in the back of his neck.

After drinking the decoction, he felt a little drowsy, but he held his eyelids open because it was not dark yet, so he was not going to fall asleep yet.

In the room, several candles burned brightly, making subtle "crackling" sounds from time to time. Zhu Xiuyuan opened his eyes and looked at the furnishings in the room.

"Hahaha, it turns out that there is such a place in the mansion. How come I didn't know about it before..."

In the quiet room, a girl's laughter like a silver bell came faintly.

Zhu Xiuyuan recognized this voice, it was his fiancée... No, she should be called Niangzi, it was the voice of his wife Dong Shuzhen.

This unbridled laughter...

The Dong family is considered a famous family in this area, but why is Miss Dong... so out of touch?

In Zhu Xiuyuan's heart, the dream of being a lady was shattered by one blow...

He pulled the corner of his mouth fiercely and couldn't help but raise his eyes to glance at the round-faced maid.

Through getting along with each other all day today, Zhu Xiuyuan has learned that the name of this round-faced maid is——

Qiu Wen!

Autumn in autumn, Qingwen's Wen.

At this time, Qiu Wen was wiping the furniture doors and windows with a rag.

Her little round face was full of seriousness. She couldn't wipe the doors and windows high up, so she stood on her tiptoes, jumped up and waved the rag...

Hardworking like a bee.

"Qiuwen."

"Hey, uncle?"

Qiu Wen kept raising her toes and holding the rag high, looking back at him.

"I think it's clean enough. It's just a matter of wiping it again. Stop working on it and come over and chat for a while. I have some questions to ask you."

Zhu Xiuyuan braced himself, sat on the bed, leaning against the head of the bed.

"Good uncle!"

Qiu Wen obediently put down the rag, washed her hands in a copper basin, took out a clean handkerchief, wiped her hands clean, and then came over.

"What kind of person are you, the second young lady?" He looked at Qiu Wen and asked after thinking for a long time.

Just at this time, Dong Shuzhen's silver bell-like laughter came from outside: "Haha, from now on in Dongyuan, my father and sister will have nothing to do with me... Wu'er, come and play... Hey, who's a monster? If you don’t show up quickly... Hey, please be careful, this is my lady’s dressing mirror, you can’t afford to pay for it if it’s scratched..."

Dong Shuzhen’s laughter was very cheerful.

Almost instantly, Zhu Xiuyuan pictured a picture in his mind: a young girl jumping and laughing so lively, like a monkey just out of the cage...

"Miss, miss, keep your voice down, my uncle should hear you!"

A voice reminded, slightly anxious.

"What are you afraid of!"

"No, miss, I just saw the master and the eldest miss in the garden..."

"Ah, you girl, why didn't you tell me earlier..."

Dong Shuzhen's voice fell silent instantly, and the room became quiet again.

Only the crackling of the candle burning quietly.

Zhu Xiuyuan twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Qiu Wen, and said with a wry smile: "That's all, there's no need to talk about her. You can talk about other people's situations."

……

"Ah...ha, so sleepy!"

After chatting, Zhu Xiuyuan was seriously sleepy.

The soup should contain sedative and hypnotic ingredients. Zhu Xiuyuan had been holding it against his eyes for so long and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Uncle, my servant will help you change your clothes and go to bed."

Qiu Wen raised her round face and twisted her hands together.

This girl Qiu Wen is obviously very shy, but she still pretends to be generous. This look is a bit cute.

"No need...I'll do it myself."

After all, Zhu Xiuyuan is not an evil landlord class. He is just changing clothes and does not need a maid to serve him.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan tugged here and there on the red groom's robe, but he couldn't untie it...

Although it has been more than half a month since Zhu Xiuyuan traveled through time, he used to wear shorts, which were convenient for work and easy to wear.

However, this was Zhu Xiuyuan's first time wearing a noble dress like the groom's robe.

The most important point is that the clothes were not put on by himself...

"Qiu Wen, it's you who should do it!"

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled unnaturally. His neatly dressed clothes were messed up by him, and he still hadn't taken them off... Qiu Wen smiled and started to help Zhu Xiuyuan change...

The shyness in Qiu Wen's eyes grew stronger. Because she was changing clothes, her fingers would inevitably touch Zhu Xiuyuan...

Every time, her finger felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.

She wanted to hide every time, but she also understood her fate and responsibility... she just finished the whole changing task with trembling fingers.

Qiu Wen's behavior made Zhu Xiuyuan a little embarrassed... But he was a man after all, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Finally, after finishing dressing, Qiu Wen helped Zhu Xiuyuan lie down again, pulled the quilt over him...

Zhu Xiuyuan was really sleepy. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.

Qiuwen tucked him in the quilt, blew out the candles, and opened the door with a copper basin and handkerchief for washing hands.

After closing the door, Qiu Wen's legs softened and she slid down the door, shrinking into a ball.

After a long time, Qiu Wen patted her heart, stood up slowly, and whispered: "Today is finally over... Fortunately, my uncle is a good person..."

……

Late at night.

West Pavilion, in Dong Shuzhen's room.

"Xia Wu, what should I do? I'm already married!" Dong Shuzhen looked anxious as she held the hand of a tall maid.

This tall maid is named "Xia Wu".

Xia Wu and Qiu Wen were originally Dong Shuzhen's personal maids.

"Xia" in Xia Wu and "Qiu" in Qiu Wen are both seasonal names, one summer and one autumn.

Since Qiu Wen went to serve the new uncle, Dong Shuzhen was the only maid left by her side, Xia Wu.

"Miss... weren't you very happy just now?" The tall maid Xia Wu was a little speechless. If Xia Wu was a modern person, she would probably say: Does the miss's reflex arc have such a long...

"But I'm still young, he... Zhu Xiuyuan is right, I'm still too young, I haven't had enough fun yet!" Dong Shuzhen grabbed Xia Wu's hand and sat by the bed, full of sadness.

"Miss, you should call me husband."

Xia Wu held Dong Shuzhen's shoulders and explained: "Miss, think about it, if you don't marry my uncle, you will be snatched away by the annoying Changshi Hua family. The Huajianhu of the Hua family is not What a good thing. The master once said that if you marry into the Hua family, miss, it will be like jumping into a pit of fire... Moreover, the miss and her uncle are already engaged. At this time, the uncle came to the door with the marriage certificate and just happened to marry him. The young lady was rescued from the tiger's mouth in the Hua family. It's like that, hero... hero... save..."

"Heroes save beauty?"

"Yes, it's like a story about a hero saving a beauty!"

Xia Wu's eyes were sparkling.

"But, but I don't even know Zhu...husband?" Dong Shuzhen seemed to be angry and stamped her feet, shaking off Xia Wu's hand on her shoulder.

"In my opinion, my uncle doesn't seem to be a bad person, he should be a good person." Xia Wu clapped her hands gently, her eyes sparkled, and she had an idea as she rolled her eyes, "Didn't Qiu Wen go to serve my uncle? I will be there later." Call Qiu Wen and you’ll know as soon as you ask!”

Dong Shuzhen thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

Then he frowned and said: "But ordinary people have to live together when they get married, but my husband and I..."

"Miss, the doctor said that my uncle is injured and needs a good rest without being disturbed. I think that after my uncle recovers from his injury, we should be able to live together."

Xia Wu said after thinking about it.

"But...but after I see other people getting married, they have to have children. I'm scared just thinking about it!"

"Miss, don't be afraid, the big deal is that the servant and the lady will have a baby together!"

Xia Wu held her young lady's hand tightly, as if risking her life, and comforted her with a pair of bright eyes.

"Xia Wu, you are so kind!"

Dong Shuzhen was greatly moved and hugged the maid affectionately.

Not long after, Dong Shuzhen suddenly raised her head and asked, "But how to give birth to a child?"

"Miss, I heard someone say that before a girl gets married, her mother will tell her how to give birth to a child. There seems to be a book about... something..."

"A secret book?"

"Yes, there is also a secret book!"

Xia Wu circled her head. In fact, she didn't understand this kind of problem very well, but in order to comfort the young lady, she had to say something.

"Hey!" Dong Shuzhen stamped her foot and said bitterly: "But mother left early, who will tell me?"

"How about asking the master?" Xia Wu suggested.

"It's not good!"

Dong Shuzhen instinctively felt something was wrong. She rolled her eyes and suddenly stared at Xia Wu. She smiled and stroked her hair to show her intimacy, "How about you go find someone to inquire?"

"Okay, miss." Xia Wu lowered her head. She thought this was an extremely difficult task.

The two masters and servants chatted for a while, and then Xia Wu went out, tiptoed to the side room next to the East Pavilion, and pulled Qiu Wen over...

The three masters and servants chatted for a long time, and it was not until the middle of the night that the three of them went back to their rooms to fall asleep.
