Concubine can't do it

Chapter 40 As long as it is him, I like it

Hua Zhengxuan thought for a while, and said: "I don't know medical skills, so I can't help. But if he feels at ease listening to my music, I can still help with this."

Shuanglang was overjoyed, and was about to speak, but someone rushed ahead of him and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Jun Qingchen opened his eyes and stared at Hua Zhengxuan, his emotions were unpredictable.

Because he himself couldn't tell at this time whether he was nervous or conflicted.He just couldn't sleep well, and wanted to come here to see if there was anything he could do, but the two of them actually just discussed him openly next to him while he was squinting, which made him unable to pretend to be asleep anymore.

He hasn't decided whether to let Hua Zhengmao marry him or marry Ergou!If this topic is accidentally brought up at this time, how will he solve it?Although he was annoyed when he thought of her flattering smiles, and felt that it would be better to give her to Ergou, but when he wanted to make a plan, he always hesitated.

No, he had to divert the topic and not allow things to develop where he was not prepared.All topics related to the ambiguity between them have to be diverted!

Hua Zhengxuan could only see the cautiousness in his eyes, but he didn't know what he was thinking, so he said, "My concubine said that I have a way to make you sleep more peacefully."

Jun Qingchen frowned uncontrollably, "What way?" Before she could say anything, he continued, "Let me be a regular visitor here?"

"No." Hua Zhengxuan shook his head, "I have no intention of recruiting you as a guest, don't get me wrong."

Jun Qingchen observed her expression change, "Then what do you mean?"

Hua Zheng smiled: "If there is one more person who can play music in the Junfu, the young master will definitely feel more at ease, won't he?"

"..."

"I know that Princess Mingxi is also learning the piano. But if I heard it right, it will take two years before the princess gets married. In the meantime, you might as well find someone to accompany you. It has nothing to do with feelings, just How about talking about the cultivation of piano music, and cooking you a delicious meal once in a while?"

Jun Qingchen pursed his lips and turned his head aside, his chest heaved violently.

This feeling is so strange.Shouldn't he be annoyed, feeling that the matter that he hasn't figured out the answer to is brought up at this time and he has to find a way to cover it up, and wait for him to think about everything before bringing it up?
But why is he doing so much in his mouth, but feeling a little...excited in his heart?
After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm a little thirsty. Bring me some water." He propped himself up and moved up, and sat up.

Seeing that he was seated, Hua Zhengxiu handed over the tea, and then said: "I heard that the son's mother is very happy with my good friend Lu'er. It just so happened that Lu'er also learned how to play the piano from my concubine. The food is to your liking, son, so why not just marry her and fulfill yourself a good deed."

Just as Jun Qingchen swallowed a sip of tea, the second sip touched his mouth and he almost spit it out, and then coughed uncontrollably.After a while he asked stiffly, "What about you?"

"Me?" Hua Zhengxuan was stunned, then waved his hands and smiled, "Don't worry, my lord, I don't charge introduction fees."

Jun Qingchen immediately stretched out a palm and stood in front of her, "Wait!"

After a pause, he took a deep breath, "Who is the deer?"

Hua Zhengxuan blinked, "Did you forget? She was hurt by you once, and you even ordered the housekeeper to pay her double the cost of medicine."

It seems that there is such a person.

Jun Qingchen also blinked, but still blinked very hard, and asked for a long time: "You said my mother likes her? The one named Lu'er?"

"Yes." Hua Zhengmao nodded, "Your mother also likes the porridge and vegetables she cooks."

Jun Qingchen's palm was made into a fist, and he stretched out his index finger stiffly to point out, "Did she cook those meals?"

Hua Zhengxuan didn't need to answer, he had already seen it from her expression.

Then he fell into thought.

Hua Zhengxuan waited patiently, but did not wait for his reply.

"Ergou, let's go back."

"master……"

Jun Qingchen landed on both feet, paused, and took out two things from his arms.

A string of crystal-clear beads the size of a fingernail is worn as a bracelet.

"Before Helian left in a hurry, I didn't give you anything. This is what I gave you for her and Mingxi."

After leaving these words, Jun Qingchen put on his shoes and walked away with Shuanglang.

Hua Zhengxuan only had time to say "walk slowly" when the two of them were going out, but he couldn't ask any other doubtful words.

It wasn't until the two of them reached a distance that she couldn't even look out of the window that she picked up the bead chain in her hand and took a closer look.

Although I don't know too much, but just looking at this transparent physique, I can also think that this bead must be of very good quality and the price is not cheap.At that time, she thought that Helian pulled her to say those words, and since then, having an acquaintance in Juanshan is already a reward for her.She didn't teach the princess, she just played with her for a while.

She didn't expect Jun Qingchen to reward her by himself.

Although she guessed that this bracelet could be sold for a lot of money, she still put it on after thinking about it.After raising her wrist and looking at it for a while, she closed her eyes and put her lips together to kiss the bracelet.

It is said that she can feel at ease after listening to the music, but she has always been on guard against this and that, when will she be at ease?
At this moment, touching the warm beads on the bracelet that melted her and Jun Qingchen's body temperature, she suddenly felt at ease.

I really want to raise the corners of my mouth and smile sincerely, but my eyes are a little hot.

"Benefactor... is it really you?"

But thinking of other places, my heart couldn't stop sinking.

She was helping Lu'er deceive him.And it seems that he is not very happy about marrying Lu'er.

What to do, did she do something wrong?
The oiran contest in November is an important day for the private prostitutes in Yunlai City.

As long as she is selected as the oiran, even if it is only for one year, this year is enough for her to earn enough money, and she will have no worries about food and drink in the next life.

It has been 15 years since Luoxiangfang was established. During this period, there have been six oirans, which is considered a very good achievement in the huge Yunlai City.

It's just that it has been five years since the last time the oiran was released.The latecomers in the Rouge Building were the top ones, and the girl inside not only won the title of Oiran for five consecutive years, but also took away a lot of business from Luoxiangfang.So this year, not only the girls in Luoxiangfang became busy, but even Mu Shaoqing didn't have much free time.His rouge shop opened for a few days and sold some middle-quality rouge, then closed without warning. Then he began to develop better rouge to prepare for the oiran competition four months later.At that time, if there is an oiran in Luoxiangfang, then his Rouge will definitely become famous along with it.

Hua Zhengxuan was also selected.Naturally, you need to practice more.And not only to practice the piano, but also to practice posture, smile, get along with men, and improve temperament.

Mu Shaoqing should be the best candidate for getting along with men.However he is very busy.On the contrary, there was a person who said that he was very busy, but always disturbed her and didn't make an appointment, so Mama Dong was so angry that she asked for leave for the past few days and went out without seeing her.

No matter how tolerant Hua Zhengxuan was, he couldn't help asking when he was disturbed almost every day: "Master Jun, don't you get tired of listening to my concubine playing these songs back and forth every day?"

After Jun Qingchen recovered from his illness, his complexion improved a lot. He lay on the soft couch with his legs crossed and said, "It's okay, you can also change two bombs."

"..."

Isn't that what she meant?

Hua Zhengxuan put down the piano and stood up, looked in his direction and said: "I know that the Jun family has a lot of money, and the young master can spend it freely. But the young master has reached the weak crown, but he is so idle and wastes all day in the concubine's room." Time, is there something wrong?"

Jun Qingchen closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm sunlight coming in through the window, and said sleepily, "I don't think there's anything wrong."

Hua Zhengxie rubbed the center of his brows, "Young master...you are the only young master in the Jun family. If you don't work hard, what will happen to the Jun family's property in the future? Will it be ruined by you?"

Jun Qingchen raised his eyelids and lowered them again, "It seems that this kind of thing is not your turn to care about." He turned over and took a deep breath to make himself fall asleep.

What is this escaping?Hua Zhengxuan really couldn't laugh or cry.She was kind enough to get this response?
But it is true that this has nothing to do with her, she is not qualified to ask too much.

"Then go to bed first, I will go out and see if the snacks for you are ready."

Jun Qingchen curled his lips, closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.

Seeing that his back was turned to her and remained motionless, Hua Zhengxuan could only shrug helplessly, and gave him the room.

Why has she always felt recently that Jun Qingchen used her room as his own?

It's a bit noisy downstairs, but the sound is quite familiar.Hua Zhengxuan glanced down, Taojiang was arguing with Sister Xu, "Really, Sister Xu, she knows me, and you also know my relationship with Qingchen, I just haven't been here for a year, why are you It's so good!"

Sister Xu still had a gentle smile, "Master Tao, don't get me wrong. How can I have a relationship with the guests? It was Master Jun's order that no one should disturb his rest. You know his temper, please don't let him We're in trouble."

"Oh, I don't want to disturb him, I'm just going to see Zheng..." Taojiang said, looking towards Yu Yinju, just in time to see Hua Zhengxuan who was about to go downstairs, and hurriedly waved: "Hey, hey, Zhengxuan , Zheng Xie!"

Hua Zhengxuan held up her skirt to salute, "I have met Mr. Tao."

Sister Xu saw that both of them had met, so she had no choice but to stop her: "Zhengxiu, pay attention to the time, and don't forget the business."

"I know, Sister Xu." Hua Zhengxuan smiled, "I'm here to pick up Mr. Jun's snacks." Then he said to Taojiang, "If Mr. Tao needs me for something, you might as well go together."

"Good! Good!" Taojiang nodded again and again, "Zhengxie, you lead the way!"

Hua Zhengxuan raised his sleeves and pointed in a direction, and the two walked towards that direction together.

It's just that the direction was going to the dining room at first, but it turned a corner when it was about to reach the place, and arrived at the back of a secluded room.

"Master Peach, please speak quickly if you have anything to say. No one will disturb you here for the time being."

Tao Jiang was stunned, and sighed: "Zheng Xie, you actually saw that I have something urgent to ask you."

Doesn't matter what you put on that eager face?

Hua Zhengxuan said: "Since it's an important matter, let's talk about it quickly."

Taojiang stopped talking about anything else, and took out a letter from her pocket and handed it to her, "Give this to Fifth Brother for me, and tell him to burn it after reading it."

Hua Zhengxuan took the letter, feeling a little dazed, "I'm going to burn it after reading it, it must be an important content, sir, just give it to me, so you're not afraid of problems? The gentleman is in the upstairs room, in fact, you can quietly give it to me." he."

"I can't give it to him." Taojiang said and grabbed Hua Zhengxuan's hand again, "I'm leaving, I don't have anyone to say goodbye to, so I'll just say a few words to you. Brother Wu is always uncertain, It's hard to have someone who is willing to keep in touch with you. Although I don't know how you two got on well, and I don't know what kind of relationship you have, but I still hope that you can treat him well, Miss Zhengxie, even if you treat him as a guest. Others It's very good, but he doesn't want to show it, but in his heart..."

"Woo--" The sound of bugles suddenly came from outside the high wall, interrupting Taojiang's words.When Tao Jiang heard the sound of the horn, he seemed to be a different person, and his expression immediately became serious, "I have to go, and I won't be back until I don't know how many years, Zheng Xie, take care of yourself."

After speaking, he jumped out directly, without even giving anyone a chance to ask about the situation.

Hua Zhengxuan stood there in bewilderment, then tucked the letter into his sleeve and rushed to the dining room.

In the dining room, Lu'er is busy.Seeing Hua Zhengxuan coming, he picked out a plate of the freshly made pastries and brought them to her.

She doesn't play the Lu Erqin very well, but she is considered a top cook.Not only did she learn what Hua Zhengxuan taught, but she also asked others for some delicious snacks. Even if her wages were not much, she still had to buy ingredients to make them.If it is delicious, it will be delivered to Mrs. Jun, and Mrs. Jun's affection for her is growing day by day.

But Hua Zhengxuan could tell that Jun Qingchen didn't like Lu'er.Lu'er wants to play a tune for him, and he will chase him away after listening to a few words.Lu'er made porridge for him, and he could drink it in one gulp. The porridge was different from the one he made before, so Hua Zhengxuan had no choice but to admit it.After that, although Jun Qingchen occasionally ate Lu'er's snacks, he didn't want to see Lu'er again.

Hua Zhengxuan didn't know what to do about it.She understands people's desire to climb up, but if Jun Qingchen really doesn't like Lu'er, she won't do much persuasion.After all, things like feelings usually don't end well if they force themselves to do so.She didn't want to force Jun Qingchen to become the second Rong Yuan, and she didn't want Lu'er to push herself on a road full of thorns just because she saw hope for a moment.

The snacks were placed on the table, Jun Qingchen took a look and turned away.I don't know why this person is in a bad mood. Anyway, Hua Zhengxie thinks that he likes to be annoyed when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't know how many annoying things can disturb him, a person who "no one dares to touch".

"My lord, Mr. Tao came here just now." Hua Zhengxuan walked to the side of the window and dug into his sleeve.

"I heard Taojiang's voice." Jun Qingchen said dully.

heard it?Why don't you go out and have a look?What happened to these two people?
Confused, Hua Zhengxuan handed the letter to him, "Master Tao asked me to bring you a letter, and then left."

"Well, I know, the horn sounded just now, and they are going to set off as a whole team." Jun Qingchen lay on his back lazily, tore open the waxed envelope, and shook the letter paper in front of his eyes.

After quickly scanning the letter, he folded the letter paper and put it back into the envelope, putting it in his arms.

Hua Zhengxuan asked curiously: "Young master, you said that the horn and the whole team are going to start, where is the battle going?"

Jun Qingchen snorted softly, "Yeah, it's been so many years... finally we're fighting."

Judging by his appearance, he seemed to have known about this for a long time.Could it be that he was unhappy because of this?

Hua Zhengxuan sat behind him and held his shoulders for him, "My lord, are you worried about state affairs?"

"Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Jun Qingchen closed his eyes enjoying himself.

Hua Zhengxuan thought for a while, and said: "I think it's hard to say what kind of person the young master is. Because the young master seems to bully the weak all the time, but in fact he has a kind heart. The young master doesn't look like I have no knowledge, but I was lucky enough to see your painting once, from the charm to the technique, it is beyond the comparison of ordinary people."

"Do you know how to draw?"

"I don't really understand. But I have a pair of eyes that can distinguish between beauty and ugliness."

Jun Qingchen smiled: "What a pair of eyes to distinguish between beauty and ugliness. Why, you said what I like to hear, and you want to ask me for something?"

Did he really see it?Hua Zhengxuan was startled secretly, but his face was calm: "This concubine wants to ask the young master for a little favor."

It's really just a small favor, a little effort.After hearing this, Jun Qingchen felt a little relieved.

It was a good thing for him to say it was a favor for her.

Mother already knew that he didn't like that deer.But she likes her himself, and he can't stop her from contacting her, so recently he ran to Hua Zhengxuan when he was upset. Anyway, no one knew that he wanted to marry her.

Yes, he decided to marry her.After thinking for a long time, he was reluctant to let Ergou, a good young man who was determined to marry only one wife, marry a brothel prostitute.So I had to wrong myself.

It's just that he won't do things that are too inappropriate.A man who bought a whore and came out to marry a princess is against his holy uncle, and he will not do it.So he would come to take care of her business from time to time, let her redeem herself early, and then want to marry her.

He kept this matter to himself and never mentioned it to anyone.

After all, everything is a plan and nothing changes quickly.He thought that Qing Yan went back to Juan Mountain just for fun, but he didn't expect that in less than two months, the war had already started.Now even Taojiang went to the front line with his father, and among the six people, only he and Yu Bu, who was also born in a merchant's family, stayed in Yunlai.

How long will he stay, how long can he stay?

Before leaving, you have to settle the troublesome things here.

In July, in Screen Gate City, a long-lost tough battle started.Huaihua General Taocheng took his two heroic lieutenants to the battle, and Taojiang, the son of Taocheng, went with him.

When Hua Zhengxuan heard the news, apart from being worried, he didn't react too much.But Mu Shaoqing found it incredible, "Zhirou, you just said that Dongshan is dangerous not long ago, but now it is really dangerous. I heard that a lot of troops were stationed on both sides, and many people died after the two battles. Now he is recuperating and may fight again at any time."

"Then... is there any news from Mr. Taojiang over there?" Hua Zhengxuan was worried about this.

Mu Shaoqing recalled for a while and said: "I heard that the son of General Taocheng was very brave on the battlefield and killed countless enemies. If he can return alive, he will be appointed an official and a nobleman."

still alive?That's good.

Hua Zhengxiu breathed a sigh of relief, but Mu Shaoqing asked, "Zhirou, do you know that Taojiang son?"

"En. There were two brief encounters with him, and he is a good man." Hua Zhengxuan said.

Mu Shaoqing was silent, and took Hua Zhengxuan's hand, "Zhirou, you seem to have changed since I came back. You don't like to have too much contact with me."

What was once a bright smile has become a dull sadness, but the impact has not diminished.Hua Zhengxuan looked at his expression, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, "I..."

"Zhirou, can I redeem you to go out?" Mu Shaoqing looked at her seriously, as if she sensed the danger.

"Shaoqing..." Hua Zhengxi hesitated to speak, and sighed, "I have thought about our matter for a long time. Shaoqing, I was not deeply involved in the world, and I didn't consider many things thoroughly. But I The longer I stay in Luoxiangfang, the more I think. I am not worthy of you, and I don’t have as much admiration for you as I imagined. After all, I am a prostitute, and I don’t want to drag you down. So I can do the redemption myself, and your money should be used to marry an innocent girl."

Forgive her for making up so much...

Mu Shaoqing was even more unbelievable than when she heard the battle at the screen door. She stared at her wide-eyed, until she broke free and stopped talking before asking dully: "Zhirou, do you like someone else?"

Hua Zhengxuan lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Yes."

"Is it Mr. Jun who has been visiting you recently? Or Mr. Peach?"

"It's Mr. Jun." Hua Zhengxie raised his face and finally looked at him squarely, "You may not know. I have been saved twice by Mr. Jun, and he saved me from falling into the water twice. I was grateful to him once. , but the second time, I think it's God's will."

"You should understand Mr. Jun's character and physical condition!" Mu Shaoqing was a little anxious, "If you like Mr. Tao, I can still accept it, but he..."

"What's wrong with me?"

Hearing the sudden business, the two people in the room were taken aback.The door was still closed, but someone jumped in through the window very neatly and easily landed on the floor.

Not only Mu Shaoqing was dumbfounded, but even Hua Zhengxuan was a little dumbfounded.

What's wrong with this world, everyone walks through the window but not the door?
Mu Shaoqing frowned, "Zhirou, do you like a villain who doesn't leave this kind of door and even eavesdrops on people's conversations?"

Hua Zhengxuan closed his eyes, and said ruthlessly: "You can't judge a person based on just one thing. Only after getting along with him can you know whether he is really good or bad. epiphany."

Mu Shaoqing asked: "What epiphany?"

Hua Zhengxuan replied seriously: "As long as it is him, I also like the shortcomings."

Mu Shaoqing: "..."

Jun Qingchen raised the corners of his mouth, "Is this how I was confessed by a beautiful girl?"

Mu Shaoqing took a deep breath, and raised her voice unconsciously: "Zhengxie, listen to me, he's really not a good person..."

Hua Zhengxuan also raised his voice.

"But I love him!"

……

After a while, Jun Qingchen sat where Mu Shaoqing was sitting just now, looked at Hua Zhengmai who was holding his chin with a complex expression, and said lightly: "I remember they said that you had a small backer in Luoxiangfang before, Is it him?"

"Yes."

"Why, the wings are stiff, so you lost the little backer?" It was still with his strength.
