Yutai Bi

Chapter 117
Du Yansui was conflicted and nostalgic, looked at the dazed Cen Sanniang, gritted his teeth and said, "Sanniang, you'd better go."

Cen Sanniang was startled.

A smile appeared on Du Yansui's face: "Perhaps in the future, you will live a normal life with a simple life, and it's better than following me in fear and intrigue. At least, now I still have the ability to make you calmly fade out of everyone's sight."

"I'm leaving, what do you do?" Cen Sanniang's eyes flashed a strange look.

"You probably don't know that the emperor asked me to marry you, and I think it was probably Zhaoyi's intention. If I don't marry you, the emperor will not let King Teng marry you. I thought at the time that I would marry you to a stranger. Why don't I marry you and give you back your freedom, and I don't have to feel guilty. Without you by my side, I have one less worry, and it's more relaxing." Du Yansui smiled.

This bad guy.Cen Sanniang's eyes watered up, and she kicked hard.

"Ouch!" Du Yansui was caught off guard, and fell back, hitting his head heavily against the wall of the carriage.

He rubbed his head, and saw Cen Sanniang quickly wiped away tears, and stared at him fiercely.Du Yansui was a little anxious for a while, and reached out to pull her: "Why are you crying?"

"I like it and I'm happy to be able to escape!" Cen Sanniang waved his hand away and turned her head away.

Du Yansui stared at her blankly, feeling a burst of joy in his heart, but this joy was mixed with sadness. He didn't know how to comfort her, so he pulled her into his arms in desperation: "San Niang, don't worry , I will make arrangements. How about you go to Youzhou? In case of any situation, you can find your uncle. Oh, Youzhou is bitter and cold. Go to Suzhou and Hangzhou. Jiangnan is rich and rich. Buy a garden and some land. Seven will protect you..."

Cen Sanniang put her arms around his waist, pressed her face against his chest, tears soaked his robe instantly.She didn't speak, and her mind was full of the image of Du Yansui serving by King Teng's side when she was young.He made her feel bad.

"...I'm not going anywhere." If necessary, I will curry favor with Wu Zhaoyi.She wants to be queen, I help her.Cen Sanniang didn't say that.

She thought about when she first came to Dao, whether there was a talented person from the late emperor in the distant Ganye Temple.Fate went round and round, and she really came to Chang'an, where she met the future empress who held Li Tang Jiangshan in her hands.

Du Yansui was shocked and looked down at Cen Sanniang.

She raised her face, with tears in her eyes, shining with a light that he couldn't understand: "I will not go to Youzhou, nor will I go to Jiangnan. I like Chang'an."

Du Yansui looked at her and suddenly smiled: "Then do you like me?"

This person, this person... Cen Sanniang picked up the pillow beside her and threw it at him.

Du Yansui blocked it easily, tightened his arms, watched Cen Sanniang writhing in her arms angrily like a bug, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "You want to leave, but I won't now either."

Didn't he say that before?Cen Sanniang stared at him blankly.

Du Yansui leaned her head on her shoulder lazily: "In order to make up for the dowry, the family went bankrupt. I have no money to marry again."

Just because of this?Cen Sanniang was half dead with anger.

"I can't get over the mountain, but I will go over." Du Yansui whispered in her ear.

Cen Sanniang was dumbfounded. He heard what she said to herself in the shower last night?
"San Niang, I have a headache, let me sleep next to you." He consciously moved his head to Cen San Niang's lap, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.Probably tired from going to two consecutive banquets, he snored lightly after a while.

Cen Sanniang ground her teeth, but couldn't bear to wake him up, so she had to suppress all kinds of thoughts in her heart.

The next morning, Cen Sanniang woke up early.

It was still dark, but the lights in the living room were already on.She heard Ah Qiu and Xia Chu's low voices coming from the yard.

Du Yansui also opened her eyes on the Luohan couch, resting her head on the back of her neck, and asked her sideways, "Why are you up?"

Cen Sanniang took off her shoes and went to clean the room: "Grandmother and mother were sympathetic a few days ago, and when I came back yesterday, I asked Mama Yin to let me rest and say hello. If I don't go today, I will feel embarrassed."

She said and dodged in.

Du Yansui blinked, got up from the couch nimbly, hugged the quilt and pillow, quickly lifted the curtain and got on the bed.The bed seemed to still smell of Cen Sanniang, he took a deep breath, turned over and continued to sleep.

Cen Sanniang came out of the clean room, looked at the empty Arhat couch in surprise, and muttered: "This guy went to practice swords early? You haven't washed your face yet. Xia Chu!"

Hearing her call, Xia Chu came in from the living room with water, while Ah Qiu went to ask Mother Fang to prepare breakfast.

After cleansing her face, Cen Sanniang sat in front of the dressing table and asked Xia Chu to comb her hair, while choosing a hairpin: "If you don't go out today, don't make a high bun. How about a few tins for a snail bun?"

"Young madam is officially going to greet Mrs. Tai and madam today, wouldn't it be easier?" Chu Xia combed her hair with a mahogany comb.

Cen Sanniang shook her head: "It's fine to choose bright and festive clothes. I guess grandma will let me talk about the affairs in the house today. There are too many things stuck in my head, and my neck hurts."

Xia Chu responded, brushed her hair up, twisted it into a spiral shape, and said softly: "Young Madam passed the door, it is reasonable to be a housekeeper. It's just that Madam Tai thinks you are too eager?"

"If I were to marry someone else's family, I would naturally not take the initiative. But the Duke's Mansion is different. My grandmother is getting old, and my mother is not in good health. Yan Wan will look for her in-law's family within a year or two. I think my grandmother hopes that I can get acquainted with the situation in the mansion sooner. " Cen Sanniang said, and gave Xia Chu an encouraging look from the mirror, "Don't worry about saying something wrong, just tell me what's on your mind. I don't necessarily think everything through. Don't worry, I don't She will look like she wants to take over the family responsibility, and if grandma insists on giving it to me, I will say a few words of refusal."

Xia Chu was relieved, and said with a smile: "This servant also thinks of what to say, the Young Madam is the master of everything, and this servant does not dare to make her own decisions."

After combing her hair, Xia Chu took out two clothes and showed them to Cen Sanniang.A cherry red floral dress with large sleeves, and a pink narrow sleeve skirt with an apricot yellow high waist.

"Narrow-sleeved ones. If grandma wants to have breakfast together again, it will be more convenient for me to serve the cloth." Cen Sanniang chose the clothes to change, and suddenly remembered, "Young master's outer clothes are enough for this season, but there are very few inner clothes. I remember that there are several bolts of cocoon silk in the cage, you can go to Mother Fang to get them to compare the size and cut them. Fortunately, I don’t need to embroider patterns, and I still know how to sew.”

Xia Chu pursed his lips and smiled straight: "It's not that the servants are talking about you. Young Madam should learn to embroider. If you learn how to sew a purse for my uncle that day, it will be good."

Cen Sanniang's face collapsed: "I can sew a piece of fabric, but I really can't do embroidery. What about purses, go to the street to buy a delicate one another day, and just say I've done it well. Anyway, he doesn't know."

Ah Qiu came in from the door, and said with a smile: "Mother Fang said that breakfast was already prepared, and asked the young lady if she would use it now, or ask An to come back and use it later."

"Hurry up and take the inventory. While my uncle is away, I will secretly eat two yuan first. I don't panic if grandma stays for breakfast."

"Don't wait for uncle?"

"Didn't you see that the day before yesterday I went to pay my respects, and he ate like pigs at my grandmother's place? I'm so embarrassed. I'll put two pieces of snacks first. Ah Qiu, go and find out if my uncle is practicing in the back garden." Sword or something. Urge him to come back quickly and change his clothes to go to the main room." Cen Sanniang said and entered the living room.

Du Yansui was lying on the bed and listened with gusto, but the more he listened, the less he enjoyed it.He wanted to pretend to be asleep and let Cen Sanniang coax him up.He also has a reason for lying on the bed, he doesn't want the girls to know that he sleeps on the couch.Unexpectedly, Cen Sanniang didn't even glance at the bed at all, now that he got up and went out from the bedroom, it looked like he was a thief.He quickly got out of bed, opened the back window and jumped out.Wearing a middle suit and pretending to punch.

Sure enough, after a while, Aqiu walked around to the garden and saw him stepping forward to salute: "Uncle, Young Madam, please go back, don't miss the time to greet you."

Du Yansui withdrew her fists and hummed, "Okay."

When he made a detour back to the courtyard and entered the living room, he saw Cen Sanniang, all dressed up, drinking tea.The table is bare, just a cup of tea.Du Yansui gritted her teeth, smiled and moved closer: "Ah, it smells so good."

"Really? This bottle of shaving oil smells pretty good." Cen Sanniang stood up, urging him to wash up and change clothes.

Du Yansui responded, walked a few steps and then turned back, with a puzzled face: "It's weird, why does this shaving oil smell like snacks?"

Cen Sanniang was startled, and smiled dryly and pushed him: "You have a good nose, you can smell dim sum so far from the kitchen. Oh, hurry up."

Du Yansui pursed her lips and left.

"Chu Xia, can you smell dim sum?" Cen Sanniang asked suspiciously.

Xia Chu sniffed it, and was a little uncertain: "You used two pieces of steamed honey cake just now, it seems to have a sweet fragrance."

"Dog nose." Cen Sanniang muttered.

When Du Yansui packed up and came out, the two went to the main room. On the way, Du Yansui suddenly said, "San Niang, can you make me a purse?"

Cen Sanniang was startled: "Huh? Purse?"

Du Yansui glanced at her and said, "That's right, when I go back for vacation, I'll wear the clothes you made yourself, with a purse you made yourself hanging around my waist, I'll be so envious of those boys!"

Cen Sanniang was nervous: "How many days did the emperor give you?"

"Ten days! There are still six days left, can you make it? I will accompany you to do it." Du Yansui looked happy.

Do it with her?Cen Sanniang stayed for a while.
