Awakened Xiangfu Qianjin

Chu Yutang's sleep was no different from the previous ones. When she woke up, she felt refreshed, but she didn't know that Shi Wanwan had hardly slept all night.In the world, it is not unheard of for Shi Wanwan, who was born in an official family, to have women eat each other and men cut off their sleeves.However, she couldn't figure out why Chu Yutang, whom she had never met before, wanted to disguise herself as a man and enter the ancestral home?

Shi Wanwan is indifferent by nature and doesn't like to have too many in-depth negotiations with others, so she doesn't have many close friends in her boudoir, only the daughters of the ministers in the capital come and go.But as everyone gets older, they have all gotten married in the past few years, so there is less contact with each other.Coupled with her outstanding appearance, it brought her more troubles and distress, which made her choose to keep a low profile and protect herself in desperation.

But she always vaguely felt that Chu Yutang was different from those superficial people who were obsessed with her appearance all day long.Even before last night, she had been secretly on guard in her heart, but now it seems that she has to change her mind.

Cui Yun came in with the wash water, saw that the young lady was simply wearing a coat and sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze, and asked puzzledly: "Miss, why did you get up so early today?"

"Well, it dawned early and I couldn't sleep." Shi Wanwan didn't intend to reveal what she found last night.

"Is that still the old rule today?" Cumulus handed over the warm face towel.

The so-called old rules mean that Shi Wanwan got up early, but she had to continue to pretend to be sick, so she could only stay in the room with Cumulus and Feixia, and outsiders were not allowed to disturb her, in case someone would break her.

"Now that there is one more Chu Yutang, I am afraid that the old rules will be unsustainable in the future." Shi Wanwan now pays more attention to Chu Yutang's motives, and no longer treats her as the frail scholar at first.Aside from dressing up as a man, she dared to openly participate in the Xiangfu's marriage recruitment competition. This kind of courage made Shi Wanwan look at her with admiration.

"Well, it is indeed a little troublesome. But miss, you live in the same room with my uncle, and you will be discovered sooner or later."

This is also what Shi Wanwan is worried about. If it is revealed that she pretended to be sick in order to avoid the crown prince's choice of concubine, not only she, but the entire prime minister's mansion will be implicated. If it is serious, it is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.But she really didn't want to be sent as a tribute by the family to the prince whom she couldn't see because of her outstanding appearance, so she had to make this risky move.They have come to this point, and it is absolutely impossible to fall short because of Chu Yutang.

"You and Feixia usually pay more attention to my uncle's behavior, and tell me immediately if there is anything unusual. Remember, I must not reveal a word to my uncle about my pretending to be sick." Shi Wanwan's dignified tone made Cumulus feel a little The difference, but I can't tell where the difference is.

It's just that Chu Yutang doesn't think so. She always feels that she should show more performance when she is under the fence.And after getting in touch with Shi Wanwan for a few days, I found that she was not as difficult to deal with as I thought before.Not only is he a beautiful person, but he is also reasonable and polite towards himself, without the slightest condescension from the daughter of a prime minister.This made Chu Yutang feel kind, and he had a thought of wanting to repay her.

To say that the only thing that makes her feel uncomfortable in this prime minister's mansion is that it is difficult to get free.Back then when she was in the Chu family compound, she was like a fish in water, she could do whatever she wanted.But now in the Prime Minister's mansion, as the son-in-law, he can only abide by his duty, stay in Shi Wanwan's room all day, and accompany the sick lady.

When she woke up this day, she had the idea of ​​going out for a walk. After all, she was a foreigner, and she lost the qualification to go back to the house for family visits within three days of marriage.But she really couldn't bear the boredom of being bored in the mansion all day long, and was planning how to express her thoughts to Shi Wanwan.

After Shi Wanwan washed and dressed, as soon as she came out, she saw her husband, scratching his head and sitting at the dining table.Seeing Chu Yutang's appearance a few days ago, maybe she would chuckle in her heart, but since she knew Chu Yutang's true identity, she unconsciously raised her vigilance and looked at everything about Chu Yutang with a defensive mind.

Although there was a change in her heart, Shi Wanwan would not easily show any flaws on her face.Especially when dealing with people who are so close to her like Chu Yutang, you have to be extra careful.She adjusted her mood, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and said softly: "Husband, what are you thinking about early in the morning?"

Hearing the sound, Chu Yutang raised his head, and seeing the radiant Shi Wanwan coming towards him, he quickly got up and opened the stool for her, and actively filled a bowl of porridge for her.Only then did he answer: "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't sleep well yesterday."

Shi Wanwan was startled, and the hand holding the spoon stopped in mid-air.After a while, he smiled and asked, "Did your husband have something on your mind last night?"

Chu Yutang saw Shi Wanwan mentioning it proactively, thinking that this should be a good opportunity, if he took the opportunity to express his thoughts, maybe he could get her help.However, Chu Yutang actually has no experience in asking for help. In her previous life, most people lined up to curry favor with her. How could she, the heir of the Chu family, bow down to curry favor with others?

But now she has to please Shi Wanwan, even though the daughter of the Prime Minister's family is unable to perform Zhou Gong's ceremony with her due to physical reasons, after all, the two are now husband and wife.Since Chu Yutang met his father-in-law, he became more aware of the huge disparity in status between himself and Shi Wanwan in the mansion.

Having figured this out, Chu Yutang quickly adjusted his mentality, coughed lightly, and put a piece of fermented bean curd in the small dish in front of Shi Wanwan.Sure enough, Shi Wanwan, who was eating porridge, stopped and looked at her with appraising eyes.

"I heard from Cumulus. She said that when you drink porridge, you always like to eat some tea oil fermented bean curd. Don't worry, I ordered someone to buy this from Guo's shop in the south of the city yesterday. It is what you usually like taste." Chu Yutang's words are not false, she is trying to get herself into the role.Even if it was a peaceful day, she still hoped that in her daily life, she could take more care of this ill-fated and frail Xiangfu daughter.

A flash of surprise flashed in Shi Wanwan's eyes, but she quickly hid it.She knew that Chu Yutang would not show courtesy to her for no reason, so she must have something to say later.So she didn't pretend, and put a small piece of fermented bean curd into her mouth, showing a satisfied smile.

"Actually, there is one thing I want to ask my wife for a favor." Chu Yutang didn't know how to tactfully ask to make his request more pleasant, so he simply said it straight to the point.

Shi Wanwan showed a triumphant smile in her heart, as expected, she had expected that Chu Yutang would not be that simple.But she wanted to see, with this small piece of fermented bean curd, what exactly did Chu Yutang want?

"Husband, don't be so polite with me. Since you and I are husband and wife, your affairs are also my affairs. You may as well just say it straight." Shi Wanwan put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, took another sip of tea and rinsed off. Mouth, then slowly opened his mouth.

Chu Yutang smiled awkwardly, seeing that Shi Wanwan treated her request so seriously, it made her feel uncomfortable.Immediately she sat up straight and said earnestly: "It's been a few days since I got married, I've been doing nothing in the prime minister's house all day long, and it's still not very good."

Shi Wanwan didn't interrupt her, just raised her brows lightly, guessing in her heart: Could it be that you are so anxious to seek fame from me?Before she could continue to guess what happened next, Chu Yutang's voice came from beside her ear again.

"I think the lady's spirits have been very good these past few days, so there shouldn't be any major problems. So, I want to ask you for a vacation and go to the prime minister's residence."

Shi Wanwan froze, she had already squinted her eyes, waiting to see the first step of Chu Yutang's wolfish ambitions exposed, but she didn't expect that this person just wanted to go out of the house?No, this person is definitely not that simple, since she can disguise herself as a man and snatch this marriage, it will definitely not be so simple, even going out of the house has to ask herself solemnly.Shi Wanwan remained silent, waiting quietly for Chu Yutang's next move.

Seeing that Shi Wanwan didn't answer, Chu Yutang thought it was because he didn't explain his reasons clearly, so he continued to add: "I don't have any relatives or friends in this capital. I only know Brother Liu and Sister Liu who kindly took me in at the beginning. I left on the day I got married. I was in a hurry, and I didn't bother to say a few words of farewell. So, I think I can go out of the house today to visit them."

Although Shi Wanwan didn't know the details about Liu Feng and his wife's taking in of Chu Yutang, the housekeeper also gave a general idea, and she had such an impression.Now that Chu Yutang mentioned it again, it must not be a lie.

"Your husband is so affectionate and righteous. I'm happy to support you before it's too late. How can I stop you? Speaking of this matter, I'm also to blame for my negligence. Brother Liu and sister-in-law Liu have taken care of your husband for so long, and now I should also express it It is my will." Seeing that Chu Yutang came and went and kept saying that she wanted to leave the mansion, Shi Wanwan no longer questioned her other motives.

"Cumulus, go to the cashier and fetch 100 taels of silver for me."

After instructing Cumulus, Shi Wanwan said to Chu Yutang again: "Husband, if you take the 100 taels of silver with you, it will be regarded as a thank you to Mr. Liu and his wife from the Shifu. You also send them my regards on my behalf, and forgive my body. I can't go with you."

Chu Yutang was overjoyed, she originally only wanted to ask Shi Wanwan to let her go out, but Shi Wanwan not only readily agreed, but also generously gave her 100 taels.Whoever really marries such a wife will be truly blessed.Alas, when I think of Liu Yu'an who married in eight sedan chairs in my previous life, my eyes turn pale.

Chu Yutang casually glanced at the plate of fermented bean curd on the table. It was small, delicate and shiny, but he did a great service for himself inadvertently.Chu Yutang decided that from now on, she will also fall in love with eating fermented bean curd, which will bring more good luck!
