Qing Fu Jin

Chapter 83
What else can you do if you are fainted?

Ling Bo was still thinking about this question until he returned home after leaving the palace.

What makes people very helpless is that Bo Zhe, a junior brother, is completely confused. He doesn't know whether it happened or how it happened. The only things that prove the truth are the spotted plum blossoms on the bed and Xia Ziyu's words. confession.

But in Ling Bo's view, all of this is just a superficial phenomenon, maybe Xia Ziyu is playing a one-man show.

The little white flower is really the most annoying!
But if this kind of thing is seriously discussed, it is impossible to say it.After all, she and Bo Zhe are not married yet, so she can't teach him physiology face to face and hand in hand.

Her brothers must know whether a man can still act as usual in that situation.

However, she could neither ask her brothers to teach Bo Zhe, nor could she hint that Bo Zhe should ask them for advice.

It's hard to say that.

Oh, what a terrible lack of culture!
She had to figure out a way to verify it.

Ling Bo pondered secretly, but in the end he couldn't come up with any idea.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

When Bozhe returned to the mansion, he immediately listened to Acton's report on Xia Ziyu's latest situation.

She asked Guo Jiashi for instructions, saying that there was another nanny outside who was seriously ill, and she asked for leave to go out to take care of her.

"Ask for leave? I'm afraid he's hiding out." Bozhe's eyes were unpredictable.

Acton agreed with him.

Under the persecution of her master, Xia Ziyu had no choice but to choose the way of marriage, but the period of time to be married must be very tormented. She is no longer welcome at Bozhe's place. She is said to be a housemate, but it is already difficult to get close. Her status was embarrassing, and it was difficult for her to position herself accurately, not to mention that other maids and servants also looked at her strangely.Even if Guo Jiashi still supports her, it will be difficult to solve her embarrassing situation.It's better to go out and hide quietly.

It was only after Xia Ziyu entered the mansion that Bo Zhe knew that she had a nanny outside.

How could he be so well-behaved that he became seriously ill and Xia Ziyu had to go out to take care of him?
Bozhe narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"Have you sent someone to watch?"

Acton nodded and said: "Nurse Liu lives in Liushu Alley, and she has sent a clever boy to watch over her."

Bozhe nodded.

Spring/medicine, in reverse, this kind of thing, I'm afraid Xia Ziyu can't plan it alone, someone must be helping her with ideas or providing conditions.

The nanny, Mrs. Liu, may be the one who helped the evildoers.

"Aside from Mrs. Liu, is there anyone else?"

Acton replied: "According to the investigation, before Xia Ziyu entered the mansion, she lived with Mrs. Liu in Liushu Hutong. After she entered the mansion, only Mrs. Liu was left. Recently, there was another man, who is said to be Mrs. Liu. Shi's nephew, whose name I don't know, is a young man with disabled legs."

"Well, why is Mrs. Liu seriously ill?"

"It's typhoid fever. She's seriously ill. Her crippled nephew can't take care of her. Now Xia Ziyu is taking care of the two of them."

"Well."

Bozhe nodded, touched his chin, and saw Acton's lips twitching in a blink of an eye, looking hesitant to speak.

"What else do you want to say?"

Acton frowned, and said, "Fu Jin, it seems that he doesn't know about Xia Ziyu yet."

Bozhe blinked his eyes, he understood what Acton meant.

Guo Jiashi didn't know about Xia Ziyu using drugs to design Bo Zhe, and he didn't know about Bo Zhe forcing her to marry.

Bo Zhe was unwilling to talk about this kind of thing, and Xia Ziyu was ashamed to say it.

"However, Fujin is still very upset that Master is so indifferent to Xia Ziyu."

Bo Zhe snorted, but didn't answer.

Not happy, he still wants to be unhappy.Although Xia Ziyu was brought into the mansion by him, it was Guo Jia's idea to let her come and serve him.This old lady is really sick and confused, and anyone will push her beside her.

But forget it, Ah Da, don't laugh at Ah Er, he, the self-proclaimed childhood sweetheart, hasn't seen Xia Ziyu's cunning and powerful heart under his weak and virtuous appearance.

"Tell the clever people below to keep an eye on it," he said to Acton.

As long as Xia Ziyu knew good and bad, he would allow her to marry smoothly.But after getting married...

He, Bo Zhe, is not the one who gives people change after being plotted against.

In the list he gave last time, none of them were fuel-efficient lamps.

Take the little steward of Zhuangzi chosen by Xia Ziyu.

He is indeed currently a bachelor with no wife and no children. He has a lot of monthly income and lives a comfortable life.But in fact, they are already engaged, and their fiancée is a famous naughty tigress, who can't rub a grain of sand in her eyes. When she passes through the door, she will definitely be caught by the financial and human rights, and Xia Ziyu will never be able to please her.

Moreover, the steward himself is very gambler, and it is said that if he loses a bet, he will have a bad temper.

A gambler's husband and a dominatrix's mistress must have a wonderful life.

Bo Zhe is not dark-hearted, but he will not abuse his sympathy either.He was thinking of his childhood love, but what Xia Ziyu did has exceeded the bottom line of his tolerance.Whether she can have a better life in the future depends on whether she can be a human being.

This is a magic spell he put on her.

Coming out and mixing, sooner or later I have to pay it back.

Standing at the door, Bozhe let out a long and deep breath.

It's getting colder and colder, it's already the twelfth lunar month.

It looks like the new year is coming.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

After eating Laba porridge and celebrating the Laba Festival, the weather is really cold. If you don’t wear a hat when you go out, your ears will freeze.

Ling Bo had never experienced such a cold winter in his previous life, and it was also the first time in this life.

Throughout the twelfth lunar month, she nestled on the kang, and the gatherings of the Fujins were no longer held, and she did not go out to visit friends. She nestled on the kang all day long, being a female celebrity, reading a book for a while , Chat with the girls, or drink a few glasses of wine with the old man Mi Sihan, and listen to him bragging about how mighty the eagle was on the battlefield back then.

When New Year's Eve was approaching, the mansion was very busy, buying necessities for the New Year, and then busy calculating wages and monthly salaries for the servants. During the Chinese New Year, there were also extra red envelopes. Although Qian Jia's character was not very good, she was good at settling accounts Good hands, the abacus beads are rolled like pearls rolling on a jade plate.

On New Year's Eve, red lanterns were hung all over the house, and Ling Bo learned how to cut window grilles from embroidering books.

The masters and servants spread out a lot of red paper on the kang, and there were also some colorful ones.

Ling Bo, Xiu Shu, Hua Ping and Rui Dong all sat on the kang and cut window grilles together.

Embroidered books, painted screens, and Ruidong are all often made, and they are cut to look good, especially the window grilles of embroidered books, the flowers, birds, and fish are all vivid.

What Ling Bo was cutting in his hand was a Chinese character for spring, and it had been cut three times, and it seemed that the one in his hand had also started to be cut crookedly.

There was a brazier underneath, and the little girls and the others threw all the scraps they cut or didn't want into the basin and burned them.

It's New Year's Eve, and the sweeping was done yesterday, but there's nothing to do today, so the big kitchen is so busy, and the New Year's Eve meal has been steamed up early in the morning, like these girls in Lingbo's yard, nothing to do.

So Ling Bo allowed them to move a small stool to sit in the room, and prepared melon seeds, Shaqima, candied fruit and other snacks for snacks. Everyone talked and laughed, making the room very lively.Then every time Ling Bo, Xiu Shu and others finished cutting the window grilles, the little girls would take them over and find a place to paste them.

In addition to doubling the monthly salary during the New Year, there is also a new set of cotton-padded jackets and cotton skirts for each person. From the first-class maids like Huaping to the little girls who do odd jobs, everyone will not be disappointed.At this moment, people's hearts are floating, and they all look forward to tonight, tomorrow, the first day of the first lunar month, so that they can wear new clothes.

The room is warm again, eating, chatting, and working are also talking and laughing, happy.

Ling Bo mentioned the spring characters he had just finished cutting, and said melancholy: "I broke another one, alas!"

The little girl suppressed her smile, came over to take it from her hand, put it in the brazier and burned it.

Ling Bo looked at Huaping and Ruidong. Huaping cut window grilles that are more than a year old, and Ruidong cut embroidered grass.

She simply put the scissors into the basket, and said discouragedly: "Forget it, I'm not the material, don't waste the paper, you cut it. Embroidery, you come with me."

"Hey." The embroidered book had just cut out a word "Fu", handed it to the little girls, and instructed them to paste it on the window, followed Ling Bo off the kang, put on shoes, and entered the inner room.

Although Huaping lowered his head to cut the window grilles, his eyes inadvertently glanced at their backs, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Hmph, obviously I'm the first-class maid, but Ge Ge always prefers to embroider books.

She complained in her stomach, but she didn't know that Ling Bo had planned long ago not to take her with him when he got married.

After Ling Bo brought the embroidered book into the inner room, he opened the closet and took out a small mahogany inlaid box, and asked the embroidered book to go to her dressing table to get a box that was about the same size but slightly larger.

The two boxes were placed side by side on the bed, and they were opened together. The small box contained gold and silver lockets of various sizes, and the large box contained red purses, and each pattern was unique.

Although Xiushu knew that she had been embroidering purses, but seeing so many exquisite purses put together at first glance, she was still shocked.

"How did Greg do so much?" she marveled.

Ling Bo smiled and said: "You have served me for a year, and it's Chinese New Year, so I have to give you a red envelope! Here, come and help me make one by one, and I will reward each one in the morning."

"Hey!" Xiushu happily agreed and helped her pretend.

The red envelopes are divided into four grades. The first type is two gold curly and two silver curly in a purse. This is for big maids like painting screens and embroidered books. Originally, painting screens should be higher than embroidered books, but Laba At that time, Ling Bo gave the embroidered book a first class, just like her, so they are now on the same status; the second type is one gold key and two silver keys, which are for Rui Dong, and now Ling Bo's She is the only second-class maid in the yard, who was also brought up from the third-class maid during the Laba period; the third type is a gold key and a silver key, for the third-class maid, and there are several in the yard; the fourth type is The two silver pegs are the little maids who serve as miscellaneous envoys.

Xiu Shu held a freshly packed purse, put it in his hand to examine it carefully, and said with a smile, "No matter the gold and silver lockets inside, this purse alone is very delicate."

She looked up at Ling Bo and said: "A master like Ge Ge is too generous, how can the red envelopes given to the slaves be so generous."

Ling Bo said disapprovingly: "What's the matter, I'm the only one in our family, whether it's Ama or my brothers, I've given you all the good things, I've pretended to be rich for you, and I told you to follow along." Dip light."

Xiushu was naturally happy and couldn't stop laughing.
