Concubine can't do it

Chapter 42 He's a Vase

"Why do you look so pale all of a sudden?" Jun Qingchen asked.

Hua Zhengxuan closed his eyes and admitted his fate: "I'm dizzy."

Jun Qingchen glanced at the river beside him, which was at most below his knees, "How dizzy?"

Hua Zhengxuan covered his eyes, "I'm very dizzy, I might faint at any time."

"..."

Jun Qingchen stretched out his freshly washed hands to Shuanglang, "Give it to me."

"What?" Shuanglang asked knowingly.

"What did you say? What can you give me?" Jun Qingchen said angrily.

The two wolves hesitated.

"Give it to me." Jun Qingchen's tone suddenly sank.

Shuanglang reluctantly took out a small porcelain bottle and poured a pill into Jun Qingchen's hand.

"Master, this is for a critical moment, you..." Shuanglang said, but saw that Jun Qingchen had already swallowed the pill.Reluctantly, he could only shut up.

Jun Qingchen closed his eyes to calm down, opened them again, walked over to look Hua Zhengxuan up and down, picked her up, and led her to sit sideways by the river amidst her exclamation. on the stone.

"Don't open your eyes, just hold out your hand."

Hua Zhengxuan stretched out his hand obediently.

The cool river water and the man's warm fingers rubbed her hands, inch by inch.She could even clearly feel the warmth brought by his thumb and the other four fingers holding one of her fingers together.

Or it can no longer be counted as warm.It was a scorching feeling, which raised her temperature along with her violent heartbeat, and her tense body trembled slightly.

Looking at her, Jun Qingchen somehow felt very comfortable in his heart, wanted to laugh, and couldn't help teasing her: "You're blushing."

Hua Zhengxuan pouted, closed his eyes and defended in a low voice: "It's in the sun."

Well, sunbaked.

There was no shade by the river, and the setting sun reflected on her face was indeed reddish.But how could he not see her blush after a long time in love?
"Do you want to wash the skirt?" He asked.

"The sun is about to go down, so let's not wash it. Let's go to the place first. It's very dangerous here at night." Hua Zhengxuan said.

Jun Qingchen nodded, "Okay, I'll carry you back to the car. Ergou has cleaned the car."

"No..." As soon as he uttered a word, his whole body was hugged horizontally.Hua Zhengxuan opened his eyes in fright, but the first thing that jumped into his eyes was not the river, but Jun Qingchen's profile.

If it is said that his frontal face looks handsome with a bit of evil spirit, then his side face has less evil spirit and more heroic spirit.Under the long eyelashes, the slender eyes looked forward, as clear as water.Suddenly he turned to her again, his eyes were as bright as morning stars.

The soft light of the setting sun has not faded, but the stars have risen in his eyes.

He hugged her and walked towards the carriage with big strides, but he whispered a spoiled word beside the shaft: "Am I pretty?"

The beautiful atmosphere and daydream were instantly destroyed, Hua Zhengxuan twitched the corner of his mouth, "Well, it's very beautiful."

But the soft and warm stars in Jun Qingchen's eyes did not fade away.He looked at her for a while, didn't say anything, just smiled slyly like provocatively, and then sent her into the carriage.

"Have a good rest, Ergou and I are outside, and will call you when we arrive."

Hua Zhengxuan sat sideways on the soft seat, stared at the lowered curtain for a while, and touched his hot face.

Is it her illusion?He was...so gentle with her.

I was tangled in my heart, but there was a strange smell that gradually intensified.Hua Zhengxuan immediately turned dark.

He just simply doesn't like the smell in the car!Even though it was wiped off, the smell is still there!
Silently raising the curtain of the side window and pinning it to the side wall, Hua Zhengmao crouched in the corner watching the sky outside gradually getting darker.

Can't be tempted, can't like him, if a woman falls in love with someone first, then she is doomed to lose.

Besides, he still has a perfect princess in his heart.

Absolutely, she can't like this person!
Before it was completely dark, the carriage finally arrived at Yunmeng Village.

Hua Zhengxiu was called out of the car at the entrance of the village, and Shuanglang consciously stayed outside to watch the car.Jun Qingchen said "Lead the way" and walked to a position beside her.

lead the way?How did the road go... Hua Zhengxuan braved the pressure of his vague memory and walked in, fearing that he would be exposed before he saw Hua Zhihong.

However, the more she walked in, the more surprised she was to find that this Yunmeng Village was very similar to the layout of the place where she lived before.The scarecrow standing next to the dry well at the entrance of the village is dressed in dark green cloth; on the low table at the side of the gate there are melons and fruits prepared for the convenience of people entering and exiting; There are also red painted tiles...

She...she went home?
Unbelievably quickened his pace, walking and even turned into running.Hua Zhengxuan panted heavily, looking around at the appearance of the surroundings, but the deeper he looked, the more disappointed he became.

No.

This is not her home.

"What's the matter with you?" Jun Qingchen came up to him unhurriedly and asked, "Your house disappeared?"

Hua Zhengxuan restrained his sobs, and shook his head at him, "I...my concubine just..." took a deep breath, and sighed softly, "I just thought my parents would still be here waiting for me to go back."

Jun Qingchen raised his hand, paused, and put it on her head, "There are no parents, but your brother is waiting for you to go back."

Feeling warm in his heart, Hua Zhengxuan nodded.

Following the memory all the way forward and turning left and right, she found that this village really resembled her hometown.It's just that the people you meet on the road are all strangers.But their attitude towards her was familiar to her.

The same disdain and distance.

"You don't seem very popular."

"Prostitutes are dirty. It's normal for them to want to stay away."

Jun Qingchen looked at her calm expression when she said this with a little surprise, and stopped along with her.

Stopped in front of a not very dilapidated but rather old Fangzi.

"Your house... just lives here?" He glanced inside and felt that although he had already made mental preparations, it was obviously not enough.

Hua Zhengxuan didn't feel anything.Instead, he looked at the vegetable field in the small courtyard behind the earthen wall with some relief.There are already a lot of seasonal fruits and vegetables in the field, it seems that my brother should have nothing to worry about.Although the place where she lives is not very good, it should be considered good compared to her previous ones.

Pushing open the dilapidated small wooden door, Hua Zhengxie first stepped aside and asked Jun Qingchen to go in first, and then said: "Originally, there was a bigger house at home, this is an old house, no one lived in it after grandpa passed away. But father and mother made money in business, and when they took the money to buy a house in Yunlai City, they encountered disasters and went together. The family recipe was robbed by the Luo family who encouraged their parents to start a business. My younger brother can only move here. Please don’t dislike me, Young Master.”

What she said just now was somewhat similar to what another Qin Ji heard in Luoxiangfang before, but it was obviously not a scripted story.Jun Qingchen glanced at Hua Zhengxuan's expression with the corner of his eyes, nodded, "Go in."

Yunmeng Village was originally a peaceful and stable small village, the neighbors get along well with each other, and the doors are never closed at night.But since bandits appeared a few years ago, the precautions have become much stricter.Always be on guard when you see strangers.Therefore, when someone passed by the Hua family's old house and saw two people standing at the door, they were shocked.

Hua Zhengxuan was about to knock on the door, but when he heard the voice outside, he said in response, "It's me, Zhirou from the Hua family. I'll bring my friends back to see my brother."

Jun Qingchen raised his eyebrows.

Most people would not provoke her after hearing this.It happened that Aunt Li, a good friend of the Hua family and his wife, was the one who was frightened at the back.Aunt Li immediately opened the door and came in when she heard the words, looked at the tall man beside her, and said happily: "Oh, Zhirou, do you have a man?"

Hua Zhengxuan's heart skipped a beat.This is really scary!Why is it Aunt Li who watched Hua Zhirou grow up here!

Quickly explained, "It's not my man, it's a friend who sent me here!"

"That's it," Aunt Li raised her hand regretfully and squeezed Jun Qingchen's arm, "The young man is quite handsome, but unfortunately he is not suitable for work, so forget it, and I won't introduce it to the girls in the village! "

Hua Zhengxuan smiled awkwardly, "Yeah, he looks quite tall, but he's actually a vase that can't be carried on his shoulders, and he likes to visit brothels, so he can't be introduced to harm girls in the village."

Didn't you say they were friends?Why is it still damaged?
Not only Aunt Li was stunned, Jun Qingchen's face also turned dark.

"Are you still going in?"

The threatening tone made her feel not very pretty.Hua Zhengxuan immediately sounded the alarm, "Aunt Li, we're going to see Zhihong first, you should go home early for dinner!" He didn't even knock on the door, he just opened it forcefully and pulled Jun Qingchen just go inside.

Hua Zhihong's health is not good, and he often has minor problems.So the door of the house was kept unlocked, just in case he didn't go out to do chores for the teacher in the village one day, and the neighbors went to see if he fell ill again and no one took care of him.

The Hua family couple had a good relationship with people in the village during their lifetime.Although Hua Zhengxuan could be regarded as ruined, the women in the village whose husbands visited brothels all hated her as much as their men had been seduced by her.But Hua Zhihong is a very stable young man, with a handsome appearance and a good temper. He has learned a lot of knowledge and principles with his teacher, and I don't know how many little girls are secretly in love with him.

It is also because of this that Hua Zhirou seldom goes back to visit her younger brother.Every time, he basically stuffed the money and left, I was afraid that others would hate Hua Zhihong along with him.

After closing the door, the narrow corridor immediately became dark.Just as Jun Qingchen was about to speak, he heard someone in the back room ask, "Who!?"

Hua Zhengxuan said: "Zhihong, my sister is back."

There was silence in the room for a while, Jun Qingchen looked at Hua Zhengxuan.Hua Zhengxuan was not quite sure how to look at him, and then thought about it, no, he is not in the same camp as him, so if he looks at him, can he help?

I just had the courage to go inside.

The teenager in the room was obviously a little flustered, and knocked over the medicine bowl while packing the medicine bag.The hot soup was lying on the floor from the table, and he felt distressed when he saw it.But Hua Zhengxuan, who saw all this in his eyes, felt even more distressed. He went to straighten the bowl for him, and regardless of the medicinal juice on the floor, he first helped his panting younger brother to sit on the old wicker chair, and then helped him sit down on the old wicker chair. He stroked his chest and comforted him: "Why panic, I'm your own sister, and you have to hide it after taking medicine. You treat me as an outsider, are you afraid that I will bully you?"

Hua Zhihong was still regretting that he didn't take care of the medicine, but he was stunned when he heard this.He looked at Hua Zhengxuan without knowing him.

Hua Zhengxuan pretended not to notice his surprise, and just asked normally: "Have you had dinner yet?"

"I'm planning to do it..." Hua Zhihong said dryly.

"Haven't made it so late? Do you plan to eat it?" Hua Zhengxie stood up straight with his knees on his knees, looked at him with a critical tone, and said, "This is not allowed in the future. It's not that there is no rice at home, it's always like this How can you cure your illness if you don’t pay attention to your body? Do you still want to grow up, marry a wife and have children?”

Hua Zhihong was taken aback by what she said, "Sister, you... did something happen to you? Why did you..."

"My sister is very good, don't think about it." Hua Zhengxuan poked his forehead, "I'll cook some food first...by the way, I'll kill a chicken to make you stronger."

"But the chickens at home have to be kept to lay eggs..."

"How many eggs can an old hen lay?" Hua Zhengxie felt stiff while holding the banknote, waved his hand and said: "Kill it, kill it, sister will buy you a brood of chicks later."

"But……"

"But what?" Hua Zhengxuan interrupted before he finished speaking, "Don't worry, my sister's piano skills are much better than before, and I also met a big man, who gave my sister a lot of money, and I will have a sister in the future." Now, don’t worry about eating and drinking, my sister won’t let you go hungry!” Then she turned around and walked out, “I’ll go and boil the medicine for you first, just sit and rest, don’t be scared away!”

Hua Zhihong felt that he was holding back a lot of words and wanted to say something to his sister, but why did he seem to say nothing useful when his sister came back this time?Instead, it was full of questions, "Big shot? Male or female?"

"Don't worry, it's a woman, my sister has a sense of propriety!" After Hua Zhengxie finished saying this outside the room, she had already walked away.

Hua Zhihong was left behind who couldn't accept her drastic change in style for a while.

and also……

"Excuse me?"

"I'm a vase."

"what……?"

What's more, Hua Zhengxie, who ran away as if to escape after nervous coping, had already forgotten that there was still a Young Master Jun in the room who wanted to get angry with her but failed.

That night, the three of them didn't talk much during dinner.Except for Hua Zhengxuan asking a few questions about Hua Zhihong's work in the academy, what to buy at home, and whether there are enough clothes and shoes to wear, he didn't say anything about the rest.

It's not that Hua Zhihong doesn't want to ask.He was full of doubts.But looking at the atmosphere in which his sister got along with that "vase", he felt that he should just stay aside and not talk.

I'm afraid that this person who is rich, handsome and handsome but has a bad complexion is extremely likely to be his brother-in-law, and the next second he throws the bowl and says, "I want to divorce my wife!"

Yes.This night in the Hua family, the atmosphere was so weird.

After eating, Jun Qingchen said: "I'll go back to sleep in the carriage. Come back tomorrow morning."

Don't sleep with your sister?Hua Zhihong wanted to say that her sister's bed could sleep two people.

Hua Zhengxuan nodded in agreement, "I'll take you there, and bring the rice over by the way."

Go to sleep in the carriage and bring food?Is brother-in-law good at eating?Hungry at night?
"Tsk, I forgot, Ergou hasn't eaten yet."

Huh?They have two dogs?Dogs can eat whatever they want, right?In fact, he is not full yet... The leftovers are for my sister to eat.She ate only a little by herself.

"Master, are you going to sleep with Shuanglang tonight?"

……Wolf?My brother-in-law is going to sleep with wolves in the woods! ?
Huh?No, why does my sister call him son?Shouldn't it be called Husband?
"He can sleep in any tree, how can I sleep with him, it's about the same as you."

Hua Zhihong couldn't turn his head in a daze.

Hua Zhengxuan glanced at Jun Qingchen up and down, "My lord, this is at my concubine's home, not Luoxiangfang. Please don't say it in front of my concubine's younger brother if you are molesting, thank you."

Jun Qingchen pouted outside, "Then let's go out and talk."

Hua Zhengxuan took the food box and left.

……

Hua Zhihong felt that his sister's problem might still be serious.

No, it seems more serious.

However, after Hua Zhengxuan sent Jun Qingchen away, and brought a large pot of chicken soup with meat from the stove, this question was temporarily forgotten.

"I know you are afraid that my sister will be hungry, and my sister has more than half of the soup left. Here, you can drink this soup, and we will share the chicken!"

Hua Zhihong ate the meat and drank the soup contentedly, and did not forget to praise: "Sister, your cooking has really improved a lot!"

Hua Zhengxuan looked at him and smiled: "My sister has not only improved her craft, but also changed her temper. She will no longer be so weak and sigh and complain about others. Zhihong, don't worry, with my sister here in the future, my sister will protect you, and you will have to take care of me." Find the best doctor to treat you and make your health better!"

Hua Zhihong swallowed a mouthful of soup, thought for a while, and asked, "Sister, have you been adopted by that...that...that person just now? I think you are still wearing his clothes."

"..." Hua Zhengxuan thought of the moment when Shuanglang left the carriage just now, someone grabbed her waist restlessly and threatened, "Besides, I'm a vase, I'm going to be rude." She was still on her collarbone while speaking He sucked a red spot on his chest so badly that she was ashamed to death, but he was barely covered by his baggy clothes.

"He." Hua Zhengxi gritted his teeth with a smile, "Don't worry about him, he's just a vase."

"...!!?"

The young Hua Zhihong read a lot of books, thinking that he had traveled thousands of miles.But today, he feels that what he knows is far from enough.

He actually saw the vase, it was perfect!
But the misunderstanding was explained at breakfast the next day.When Hua Zhihong knew that Ergou and Shuanglang were one person, and that Jun Qingchen was not a vase spirit, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Anyway, my sister didn't mess with anything strange.

But after thinking about what to say all night, I still have to say, "Sister, are you still staying in that brothel?"

Hua Zhengxuan said calmly: "Yes, it's still there."

"Sister, can you stop doing it?" Hua Zhihong worried, "It's written in the book that the women who stay in that kind of place are not good, and they will be pointed at and scolded when they go out. Brother, now he can do it by himself." I have made money to support myself, and I have saved some money, and we two siblings will live a hard life together in the future, and living an ordinary life is better than being a person who is despised in that kind of place."

Hua Zhengxuan felt warm in his heart, but he still shook his head: "It's not good for you to be small, so you should buy yourself more food and make up for it. Don't lose yourself. Parents are gone, and my sister only has You are such a relative. Now you are the only one who can pass on the blood of the Hua family. You have to take good care of yourself. As for my sister, I will redeem myself next year at the latest. At that time, my sister will open an academy for you, and you will be a teacher Sir, my sister is here to teach me how to play the piano, how about we two siblings go to a place where no one knows us and live a good life?"

As she spoke, she took out her well-hidden 1000 taels of silver note and handed it to Hua Zhihong, "This is the 1000 taels of silver note that a talented woman from Juanshan admired her sister's piano skills and rewarded her. My sister also left it there." I bought 1000 taels. This money is enough for our siblings to live for many years, so don’t worry about it, remember that raising yourself is the most important thing.”

When Hua Zhihong heard about the 1000 taels of bank notes, his mind was already empty.It took a long time to hold back a word.

"What?"

Jun Qingchen next to him couldn't stand it anymore, why are these two siblings so stupid?
Holding the bank note, Hua Zhihong's hands were shaking, and after looking at it for a while, he frowned, "Sister..."

"kindness?"

"Can you take the money back and redeem yourself first?"

Hua Zhengxuan was taken aback.

Hua Zhihong spread out the banknote and presented it to her, "Sister, I beg you as a younger brother, please? Don't do those things anymore. I don't want my sister to suffer and suffer in such a place..."

"Zhihong!" A call from outside the door interrupted the boy's words, and someone pushed the door in. "Why didn't you go to the academy? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to call..." This dark path The girl walked by it countless times, so she didn't pay attention to the road, and finally pushed the door, almost bumping into a wall of people.

"Hey! Who is this!" The girl exclaimed, looking up just in time to see Jun Qingchen also turning her head to look at her.

Just a side face made the girl blush, she blinked blankly, and restrained her carefree attitude.

"Next, Jun Qingchen." Jun Qingchen smiled at her, got up and made way for her, "Please come in."

"Jun...Young Master Jun?" The girl was stunned, and slowly moved into the room, whispering as she moved, "A gentleman regards fame and wealth as light dust, what a good name."

"Thank you for your compliment." Jun Qingchen gave up the stool he was sitting on to the girl, while he stood aside with a graceful demeanor, Hua Zhengxuan thought he was possessed by something in an instant.

The room was small, and there were only three stools.That's why Shuanglang consciously found a place to stay outside, waiting for orders at any time.After the girl sat down, she felt uncomfortable, "Master Jun, why don't you sit down?"

"No need." Jun Qingchen smiled calmly, "You are a guest, so you should sit down. I'll just stand for a while." Then she moved two steps towards Hua Zhengxuan, and moved her affectionately. Putting his hands on Hua Zhengxuan's shoulders, he bent down and whispered in her ear, "Do you mind if I do this?"

Hua Zhengxi gritted his teeth against conscience and said, "I don't mind."

I don't know what kind of medicine this man is selling in his gourd, but the eyes of the two innocent people next to him have changed when they looked at them!
