Yutai Bi

Chapter 154 Night Chat 1
After soaking in the hot water, Cen Sanniang took a deep breath, and the pores all over her body opened.She is a little tired.

Du Yansui went out and came in again, with an extra stack of clean clothes in his hand. He put them on the small table next to the bathtub, and looked at her reluctantly: "Our family is poor, how much boiling water can be saved by washing together?" The firewood, you mean?"

"It's not enough to go up the mountain and cut it off!" Cen Sanniang didn't want to do it again in the bathtub.

Du Yansui stretched out his hand and pinched her face, knowing that she was tired, he snorted and said, "Forget it this time."

Seeing him go out, Sanniang lowered her head and couldn't help but want to laugh, a strange sweetness gradually appeared in her heart.

She slowly poured water on her body with a gourd ladle, and one person after another flashed in her mind.Suddenly, Xu Shi came to mind.

She remembered that before she opened her eyes in this life, listening to Xu's gentle voice and leaning against her warm arms, she fell asleep peacefully.Xu stayed with her like a mother for three full years.

"Mom, I'm married." Cen Sanniang murmured, feeling sore in her heart, she sank her face into the water, so that she didn't know if she was crying.

When she changed her clothes and went out, the bed was completely new, and she looked out with some guilt.

"Mother Fang came in alone to change." Du Yansui couldn't help laughing seeing her acting like a thief.

Well, she'll have to get used to it.Cen Sanniang sat in front of the dressing table, feeling unwilling, she stretched out her hand and threw a dry handkerchief over: "What's so funny?"

Her eyebrows are picturesque, her cheeks are bright red, and her eyes are shining... Du Yansui grabbed her handkerchief, walked over, and skillfully wrung her hair dry.The movements are gentle and agile.From time to time, he looked at her face in the mirror, and lowered his head to kiss her face twice.He whispered: "...the pain will definitely be gone at night."

Cen Sanniang put the wooden comb heavily on the dressing table: "The devil will believe you!"

"Sanniang." With a long ending, he hugged her from behind and said reluctantly, "I'm going back to the palace again tomorrow."

After the clean room had changed the water again, Cen Sanniang pushed him: "Hurry up! I'm hungry."

Du Yansui turned his head three times and went: "Just rest after eating, I'll take care of anything."

"Beast!" Cen Sanniang scolded, took a comb to comb her hair, suddenly saw herself in the mirror, patted her face lightly, but couldn't take away the smile on her face.

She combed her hair, opened the box to find clothes to wear, tidied them up neatly, glanced at the clean room, and then went out.

"Young Madam, it's hot for lunch, will this be okay?" Sure enough, Mother Fang was sitting on a small stool in the yard, the surroundings were quiet, and there was no one around.

Seeing Cen Sanniang, Mother Fang smiled, looked up and down, and said in a low voice, "San Niangzi, Mom will bring you a bottle of ointment later. Just hold on, my uncle only comes home once every ten days."

Cen Sanniang desperately tried to pretend nothing had happened, but her hot face had already betrayed her.

Mother Fang looked at her shy appearance, and remembered that Cen Sanniang's parents had passed away early, and no one elder would love her to tell her about those things, so she felt a little pity in her heart: "Mom is here to serve you today. The girls have already been sent away by mother."

Cen Sanniang hummed, and then said in a low voice: "Mom, on the day we got married... Mama Yin came to take it away, not that one."

"I know, leave it to me, and the old lady won't know." Mother Fang laughed.

"Also..." Cen Sanniang bit her lip and whispered in her ear, "I haven't turned sixteen yet, mother has a way to prevent her from getting pregnant."

Mother Fang nodded lightly, and said: "You must not let my uncle know your thoughts, after all, the Du family is small."

"I know." Cen Sanniang nodded.

Du Yansui came out fully dressed: "Mom, order the dinner to be served."

Mother Fang hurriedly saluted and said, "Your maidservant will go now."

Seeing her coming out of the courtyard, Du Yansui hugged Cen Sanniang from behind, sniffed the fragrance in her hair, and murmured, "Sanniang, let's spend our lives together."

Cen Sanniang slept for a whole afternoon, and only after waking up did she feel pain all over her body.

Fang's mother rolled up the curtain and brought a bowl of medicinal soup: "This servant cooks it herself, no one knows."

Cen Sanniang looked at the dark medicine, a little hesitant, will it work?Will it hurt your body?
"Don't worry, big families all have such prescriptions. After the slaves were brought up by you as the mother in charge, they went to the eldest lady's wet nurse to get them. Didn't the eldest lady also give birth to two young masters later?" Mother Fang said He planned to follow Cen Sanniang for the rest of his life, so he prepared all kinds of ways to manage his mother in advance.

Cen Sanniang gritted her teeth and drank it. Anyway, she really felt that she would not be able to pass her psychological barrier if she were to conceive a child at her age.Besides, it's dangerous to have a baby at such a young age.Cen Sanniang was afraid when she thought about it.

Mother Fang stuffed her with a bottle of ointment: "I have prepared it for you a long time ago. I never thought it would come in handy today. It will make you feel better after using it."

"Mom." Cen Sanniang gave her an angry look, and asked again, "Where is my uncle?"

Mother Fang smiled while tidying up the bed: "I'm sure my uncle is taking a rest today. Two groups of people came. The third son from the second room came, and Mrs. Xu who sent a pile of clothes last time. My uncle I told you not to call you, you should be entertaining guests in the flower hall right now."

The third son of the second room?Cen Sanniang turned a few turns in her heart before she realized it.It was the second room who had an engagement with the Wei family.It must be to discuss with Du Yansui about borrowing a house.What is Mrs. Xu here for?Give share money?

Cen Sanniang tidied up, took the sewing basket, and continued sewing.

At this time, I heard the sound of footsteps in the yard outside, and saw through the window that it was the girl Xiao Si'er.

Fang's mother turned around and walked out, shouting loudly: "Little Si, stop! Pass a word that you can spread your feet and run in this yard. Later, my mother will whip your calf with a bamboo stick!"

Xiao Si'er suddenly stopped, patted his chest and said: "Mom, tell me to report to Young Madam before training me!"

"What's wrong, you're running in such a hurry!" Cen Sanniang asked slowly through the window.

Xiao Si'er saluted through the window: "Young Madam, hurry up and change your clothes! Young Master Sun sent people to say that someone is coming from the palace, please change your clothes quickly and go to the front yard to receive the order. Young Master Sun has already gone to pick up the old man people."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Fang's mother eagerly and begged for mercy: "Mom, I was wrong, and I will never dare again."

"Go and call Aqiu Xiachu in to help the young lady dress up. If there is another time, begging for mercy won't work. Go!" Mother Fang laughed and cursed.

"Thank you, Mother Fang!" With a bright smile on Xiao Si'er's face, he turned around and ran away.After running for two steps, she stopped, looked back, and saw that Mama Fang had her hips crossed again, so she had to walk forward quickly, and when she passed the screen wall, she lifted her skirt and started running.

"This child! She will be the skinniest among the four who come in!" Fang's mother said with a smile, and told Cen Sanniang, "Young Madam, I will prepare a soft bridge for you."

Cen Sanniang understood somewhat in her heart, probably the Ministry of Rites was empty at this time, so they had prepared the booklet of orders and dresses and sent them over.She changed into a long-sleeved shirt for meeting guests.He hurriedly took Ah Qiu and Xia Chu to the front yard.

Those who came to issue the edict were a servant in the palace and an official from the Ministry of Rites.He praised Cen Sanniang in four-character parallel prose and was named Shuren.

Cen Sanniang took the scroll of imperial orders woven with colorful silk, and this was her identity proof.

I admired a dress with large sleeves and embroidered sparrows on a vermilion background.There is also a set of gold flower hairpin crowns made by Shanggong Bureau.There are seven flower trees and seven Zhai birds on the crown of Shuren's flower hairpin.

Mrs. Du changed her dress to receive the order. She was wearing a purple dress with embroidered phoenix and two breasts, a nine-tree nine-zhai flower hairpin crown, and some extra gold tinsel.The corolla is lined with a full head of silver silk, which is graceful and luxurious.

The happiest thing about Cen Sanniang is that she also has a salary.About one thousand shi of grain can be obtained every year.It is equivalent to Du Yansui's two and a half months' salary.Although it is very little to exchange for silver, it is better than nothing, right?

After sealing the red envelope and sending the imperial envoy away, Mrs. Du smiled and took Cen Sanniang's hand and said, "Xie En will be able to wear this dress when I enter the palace tomorrow. It must be very beautiful."

As he spoke, he told her some etiquette to pay attention to when meeting the queen.When it comes to the queen, it is inevitable to talk about the Cui family.The old lady was a little worried: "In case the empress brings up the marriage tomorrow, you need to think about how to deal with it in advance."

Du Yansui comforted her with a smile: "With you in the mansion, it's Sanniang's turn to comment on Yan Wan's marriage. Tomorrow I will be in the palace, and I will tell the imperial guards on duty outside the queen's bedroom. Don't worry."

Mrs. Du sighed and said, "The biggest use of you entering Qianniuwei is in the palace. The emperor's close servant, the harem involves the former court, Yan Sui, you have to be careful."

Du Yansui respectfully agreed, and together with Cen Sanniang helped the old lady back to her righteousness.

After dinner, the two returned to Yanju. After Ah Qiu and Xia Chu had served Cen Sanniang, they changed their household clothes and sneaked back to the East Chamber.

As soon as the two left, Du Yansui closed the door, turned around and hugged Cen Sanniang: "I have to get up early to enter the palace tomorrow, let's rest early."

Cen Sanniang was startled, put her arms around his neck and begged him: "Tomorrow you are entering the palace, sir, can you go slowly?"

"What are you waiting for? I just carried you to bed to rest." Du Yansui hummed and carried her to the bed.

Cen Sanniang smiled and kissed him as if she had been pardoned: "You are the best! Next time I will take care of you comfortably."
