Fourth Master's Pearl

Chapter 37

Xiaocui was the same age as Chunhua when she first entered the mansion as a maid, and they shared the same room.Later, Chunhua was transferred to Fujin by the nanny in charge because of her dexterity in drawing excellent patterns and embroidering more beautiful flowers than those in the palace, where she learned to work under Lanyan and Qiuyue.Later Xiao Gege came, ah, now it is Qing Gege, Chunhua went to a better place and became the first-class maid directly.

Later, she was also assigned to Nian Fang Fujin, and the two of them would still get together to talk about their hearts and talk about their master when they had time.When Chunhua talked about Qinggege, she would smile, but she was so sad because she was not welcome.She also serves her master wholeheartedly, why is there such a big difference?
After serving Nian's supper, Xiaocui quietly took out the bird's nest and planned to give it to Chunhua while she was cleaning up the small kitchen.Xiaohong accompanied Nianshi to say goodnight to Fujin before she dared to do so.

In the small side room of Haitang Garden, Chunhua is obediently embroidering complicated and gorgeous pillowcases.Chuqing was not there, and many rooms were dark.Chunhua lit a glass white lotus lamp, lowered her head and concentrated on the flying needle.

Xiaocui entered her room lightly, and said with a smile, "It's so bright. Is this Qinggege for you? You like to do work at night, so you won't be dazzled now, and you won't be able to tell the color of the silk thread." right?"

Chunhua joyfully put down her needle and thread to meet her, took Xiaocui's hand and smiled, "Why are you here now? Don't Nianbian Fujin ask you to serve her?"

"She doesn't like to use me. I've brought you something good." He said and put the bird's nest cup on the small wooden table, and lifted the lid. "Just borrow your small kitchen here to heat it up. I dare not do it in Baoxiangyuan."

"Where did it come from?" Chunhua wondered, it was an extremely expensive item.That's a few taels of silver.

"My master asked me to throw it away. I didn't see her move. It's a pity."

Chunhua smiled and said, "Just eat it."

"Blessings to share. I only blame myself for being unlucky and not following a master who gets along well. How good you are, even if you are tired, you are willing."

Chunhua nodded, she was happier when others praised her master than she was praised.

"Although my master looks naughty to outsiders, he is still a little out of tune and unreliable, but in his heart, he is as clear as a snow mirror. He understands what he thinks and says, but he has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. Sometimes his mouth He's hurting you openly, but secretly he's a considerate person who knows what's cold and what's hot."

"Look at you, aren't you saying this on purpose to offend me?" Xiaocui laughed.

Chunhua asked: "You used to say that Nian Fujin wanted a child, and now that she has a child, she should be happy. Why is she still ignoring you?"

Xiao Cui lowered her voice and said: "They thought that the prince would be different after having a child, why did they come here often? The result is not the same? Even the fifth elder brother didn't get into the prince's eyes very much. To be honest, they didn't like the five Elder Brother doesn't care about it anymore, and Geng Gege is also worried about it. The child is like a wild monkey all day long, and the nanny can't control him.

"Fu Jin also has the heart but not the kung fu. What can we do as servants? I still have to listen to Xiaohong's hoof from time to time. Who can be as handsome as the fourth elder brother Hongli? , and Qing Gege played with her. Man, sometimes you really don’t believe in your fate.”

"Well, my master likes the fourth elder brother very much. She said that the fourth elder brother will be a very capable person in the future."

In fact, Chuqing was focusing on his ability to spend money and pick up girls.

The inn inside and outside N.

Although it is an ordinary room, it is considered medium.Yinzhen and Chuqing became neighbors.Xiao Gaozi lived in the second-class room with Safatu and two soldiers, and the two officials were placed in a corner room a little further away.

Late at night.Chu Qing lay weakly on the bed, staring at the washed white and limp bed curtain for a while.It was the first time for her to leave the capital.Although this kind of tossing and tossing journey is exhausting, but because Yinzhen is by his side, it seems that there is an indescribable peace of mind.

There are basically no frills in the room.A table, two chairs and a bed.Chu Qing sat up and slowly removed the pearl and emerald hairpin from her head.In the small round mirror of western water chestnut flowers that I carry with me, there is a delicate and aura face.That wasn't her, but for a long time, that was her.

The eyebrows are snowy and the face is peach blossoms, and the bone green marrow is green and beautiful.Xu Erjia, you really are a little beauty.Unfortunately where did you go?Let me walk the rest of the way for you.Wouldn't it be easier if you did the walk yourself instead? "

I can't say whether it is easier, but it will be more relaxed and normal, and less entangled, just let nature take its course, right?

Chuqing put down the mirror, took a jade-toothed comb engraved with small poems in seal characters, and combed her long hair time after time.

Slowly paced to the window, opened the window and looked out.There is no moon tonight, so cold.

The houses and streets are asleep, and the leaves are snoring in the wind.

Chu Qing could see the light from the next door reflected yellowishly on the window paper.Yinzhen should still be working and not asleep.

so close.

In the palace, in the Old Summer Palace, they all lived far away.This is the first time we are so close, can we even connect dreams?

With a "squeak", the window next door was also pushed open.Yinzhen's handsome profile came into view like this.He didn't seem to have changed much from the first time she saw him.Stern lines, graceful thin lips, and eyes as black as black jade.

Two soulmates did the same thing.Looking up at the dark blue night sky, Yinzhen was disappointed to find that there was no moon.Just as she was about to close the window, she inadvertently saw Chu Qing looking at her.

The cool night breeze blows from Yinzhen's direction, brushing Chuqing's waist-length hair.Rushui's eyes were filled with various unspeakable emotions.The two of them tacitly did not break the tranquility of this moment.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" In the end, it was Yinzhen who spoke first.

"I don't want to sleep, I can't sleep."

A long-lost lyrics suddenly popped up in Chuqing's mind: "How can I sleep without seeing your smile..." She especially likes the delicate lyrics that permeate life, breathing and actions.This line of lyrics hit her heart at the beginning, and this song has been one of her favorites for several years.

She was so curious, what modern love songs did she think of in ancient times?

"Tomorrow we have to hurry. There is still a journey to Henan Mansion."

"Oh." Chuqing replied automatically, but she didn't move.

Yin Zhen closed the window first.Chu Qing felt a bit lost.Laughing softly again, leaning against the window lattice, letting the night wind blow, his thoughts are far away and boundless.Thinking about something, but nothing came out.

After an unknown amount of time, the last glimmer of light in the oil lamp also went out.Chuqing's feet were a little sore, and she slowly moved to the bed.At this time, she heard a slight knock on the door.

Chu Qing went to open the door without thinking.

The person standing outside the door is Yinzhen.

"Why did you open the door without even asking? This is outside the palace, you have to be more careful." Yinzhen frowned slightly and stepped into the room, reprimanding softly.

"I think it's you." Chu Qing replied very naturally.

Before she finished speaking, Chu Qing was embraced by Yinzhen.Chuqing's mind went blank.

He...does she know what she is doing?

Yinzhen gently pressed Chuqing's head against his chest with one hand, and stroked her hair gently with the other hand.Electricity was transmitted from his fingertips to Chuqing's whole body.Listening to his steady heartbeat, she felt that her heart almost forgot how to beat.

Yinzhen's soothing and long breathing and her own disordered breathing can be vaguely distinguished in the silence.

Just like that, no one hugged each other for a while.

"Go to sleep." Yinzhen's voice was gentle and deep.

Chu Qing continued to lean in his arms a little shamelessly.Reason was defeated by emotion this time, and they lost in a complete mess.At this moment, she just wanted to pamper herself for a while.

Yinzhen's voice was tinged with a doting smile, "Aren't you tired like this?"

Chu Qing didn't lift her head, just shook her head like that.Suddenly, her feet were hanging in the air, and she was picked up by Yinzhen and walked towards the bed.

Yinzhen gently put Chuqing down, covered her with a thin quilt without negotiating, and helped her brush her hair from the back of her head to her chest.

In the dark, Chuqing tried hard to see Yinzhen's face clearly.What happened to him recently?She is no longer a child.Is this ambiguity just a kind of care?

"Go to sleep!" Yinzhen coaxed again in a low voice, "I won't leave until you fall asleep."

"Then I don't want to fall asleep." Chuqing showed a long-lost voice of attachment.

"Then I won't be able to sleep anymore." Yinzhen smiled lightly.

Chu Qing obediently closed her eyes.Drowsiness hit her, pressing heavily on her eyelids, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.

"Chu'er..." Yinzhen's voice was unbearably gentle.

Chuqing was already in a sweet dreamland and did not respond.After confirming, Yinzhen carefully let go of Chuqing's slender hand that was held in his palm.He stood up slowly, but his eyes lingered.

Half bent down, kissed Chu Qing on the cheek, and whispered: "Wait for me..."

Love is like a flower, budding in the dark night.The strong aroma has already spread.
