The wind of wonder in Tianyue rises from the frontier fortress

It is said that Zhao Ning smiled and tore off the pearl tied to the skirt for the living expenses of the two, but was stopped by Chu Qingxi and said: "Your thing is certainly good, but you can tell it is not a folk thing. Although the office is located in a remote place, there are still many contacts between officials and businessmen, if someone recognizes it, wouldn’t it be a leak.”

She thought for a while, then took off the gold earrings she was wearing, and said with a smile: "Let's use mine first. Let's go and say goodbye to Wang Fugui first, and part ways with him from now on."

Zhao Ning saw that the gold earrings in her hands were still inlaid with two rubies. Although they were not as good as the workmanship of the imperial palace, they were still beautiful and exquisite. He also saw that her ears were empty, but there were more With a somewhat elegant attitude, he couldn't help sighing: "You really look good no matter what you do."

Seeing her involuntarily admiring, Chu Qingxi couldn't help but feel a little happy, and said with a smile, "Let's exchange this with Wang Fugui for a few taels of silver, and then we can settle down here. When I get better, I'll think about it later." It's not too late."

The two of them had discussed and decided, so they bid farewell to the king Fugui together.Wang Fugui was originally a businessman, and when he saw that Chu Qingxi was willing to give him such an exquisite earring, he was naturally overjoyed. Without saying a word, he folded 50 taels of silver, and left happily.

In that small town, not to mention 50 taels of silver, ten taels of silver can buy a small courtyard.So Chu and Zhao got the 50 taels of silver, and within a few hours, they found a quiet place in the east of the town.Later, the two bought two [-]- and [-]-year-old maidservants in the market, named them Zhuwen and Bihen respectively, and bought some food and clothing, as well as daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, pots and pans, etc. .

That Qiuyun and Bihen were originally the daughters of a poor family, and the family sold them, one can exchange for some silver, and the other can lose one person's rations, but in the early years, they were still young and He is thin and thin, but no one has been interested in him, so he had to follow the traffickers to many places, and suffered a lot of torture.

The two of them were lamenting their fate, and they were melancholy not knowing when it would end, but there were two women with such a beautiful appearance and high temperament who bought them both.

Not only that, they also let themselves freshen up, and each put on a new set of dresses, and even some simple accessories, the two of you looked at me and I looked at you, and felt that this time The scene was like a dream, and they didn't know it was real until they pinched each other's arms. They couldn't help hugging each other, and wept with joy.

Because of this, Zhu Wen and Bihen are undoubtedly like reborn parents to Chu Qingxi and Zhao Ning, the children of poor families have already taken charge of the family, let alone the two of them who have suffered inhumanly.

They worked together to keep the courtyard in order.What surprised Zhao Ning and Chu Qingxi was that as time passed, their respective advantages became more and more apparent: Zhu Wen is careful, a good girl, with a pair of skillful hands, and all kinds of looks are lifelike; He likes to cook, and his daily diet is refurbished from time to time.

In addition, Chu and Zhao were both well-clothed and well-fed people, so they naturally have their own ideas when it comes to food and clothing.In his spare time, he also communicated with her two, and from time to time took them to taverns, restaurants, silk villages and embroidery houses to increase their knowledge, and at the same time taught them the art of poetry and calligraphy. Reborn as if completely reborn, courteous in conversation, and moderate in demeanor, at first glance it seems that he came from a scholarly family, and he still has half the state of poverty and hardship that day.

Zhu Wen and Bi Hen were grateful, and they naturally respected and got close to Chu and Zhao.But Chu and Zhao thought of their loyalty to the master, and also because they were young and in distress, they naturally felt a little more pity in their hearts.Therefore, he never really treats them as slaves on weekdays, and even if he makes some small mistakes occasionally, he just laughs them off and treats them like little sisters.So and so, it's calm and happy.

On this day, near noon, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, the trees were green and the sky was blue.Zhu Wen and Bihen happily carried a small dining table to the middle of the courtyard, with fish and meat on it, some side dishes, and a pot of wine, and they called in a soft voice, "Sister Chu, Sister Zhao, today is the time for dinner." The weather is so nice, shall we have dinner in the courtyard?"

A person came out following the sound from the room, wearing a lake blue short jacket and a light green ankle-length pleated skirt tied around his waist. His long black hair was casually tied on top of his head, looking refreshing and casual. The fourth princess Zhao Ning.

Seeing the table of wine and food, Zhao Ning couldn't help clapping her hands and laughing: "Zhu Wen, Bihen, you two are getting better at enjoying it!" She came to the table with a smile, looked over, and saw the A dish of squirrel mandarin fish, a plate of crystal elbow, a piece of pine cake, and a few bowls of green and pleasant vegetables, really full of color, flavor and taste, make people look forward to it, and they can't help but nodded and praised: "Good girl, the craftsmanship is getting better and better. It's done, if you marry someone in the future, you won't be despised by your husband's family just because of this skill alone."

Zhu Wen giggled immediately when he heard the words, Bihen was ashamed and annoyed, stomped his feet and shouted: "Sister Zhao, how can you make fun of others like this! I... I don't want to marry!"

She blushed, and couldn't help covering Zhu Wen's mouth: "Don't laugh!" Zhu Wen giggled and dodged, and said loudly: "It's not that I said you want to get married, you cover my mouth to do that!" very?"

While making fun of her, she giggled and dodged around Zhao Ning, Bihen didn't dare to act wildly on Zhao Ning, so she had to chase Zhu Wen desperately and shouted: "I don't agree, I kindly cooked this table for you to eat, but I didn't want to let you make fun of me!"

The three were chasing and fighting, laughing together, but heard a loud "plop", as if something happened in Chu Qingxi's house.

Zhao Ning and others followed the sound, and were about to open the door to enter, only to hear Chu Qingxi's weak voice from inside saying: "Don't come in!"

Zhao Ning was in a hurry, and secretly thought that Chu Qingxi had been trying to heal her injuries in the past few days, maybe some accident happened, thinking of this, she couldn't help but make her lose her mind.

If something happened to Chu Qingxi, how would she deal with herself?Although she is accompanied by Zhu Wen and Bi Hen, but the main beam of this house, she, who was spoiled and raised since childhood, and who doesn't know the hardships of the world, how can she bear it all by herself.Right now, although Chu Qingxi's internal injuries have not healed, her brain is still functioning well. She is actually in charge of all the affairs of the house, big and small. If she falls down, wouldn't the sky collapse.

When Zhao Ning thought of this, he couldn't care less about other things, so he knocked on the door nervously and asked, "Sister Chu, are you okay?".

Chu Qingxi inside the house did not answer, and Zhao Ning couldn't bear the deathly silence anymore, so he ordered Zhu Wen and Bi Hen to stay outside the house, and braved the risk of being blamed, and walked into the house. But he was taken aback by the scene in front of him.

I saw Chu Qingxi's complexion was pale, his hair was disheveled and he was sitting in a broken wooden barrel, his whole body was covered in diarrhoea.The water in the wooden barrel was already cloudy, and even faintly exuded an unpleasant stench.

Her long black hair hangs down naturally, scattered on the snow-like skin, making the black become blacker and the white whiter.Her slender limbs are curled up in the narrow wooden barrel, and her slender waist is full of grip. Coupled with her slightly sad and tired face, it is so vivid that people suddenly feel pity.

Although there is not a strand of hair on her body, and although her posture is extremely fragile, her noble temperament and peerless demeanor are like a white jade Guanyin, which makes people dare not have the slightest blasphemy.

Zhao Ning rushed into the house and saw exactly this scene.Chu Qingxi's description made her dumbfounded, and the trace of wet blood on the corner of her mouth made Zhao Ning's heart rise to the point of her throat.

"Sister Chu, what's the matter with you?"

Chu Qingxi's pale face suddenly had a subtle blushing, as if thinking of his current appearance.She pretended to be calm and said, "Who let you in."

Zhao Ning knew that she would definitely be blamed by her, but she didn't expect that now that she was in the smelly and muddy water, she still had the strength to care about these things, so she hurriedly said: "Sister Chu, don't be angry, I just saw you silent in the room Don't worry, you just came in." She secretly glanced at Chu Qingxi's face, and smiled apologetically: "We are all women, and no one can suffer."

Seeing that Chu Qingxi was silent, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly continued: "Sister Chu, what happened to you, why are you doing well, the wooden barrel has burst? Look, the water is cold, My name is Zhuwen and Bihen, can I change it for you again?"

In fact, she was disgusted by the stench in the water. When she thought of Chuqingxi being soaked in this dirty water, she couldn't help but feel chills all over her body. She only hoped that Chuqingxi could be fished out of the water sooner. Give it another good scrub.

So when she saw that Chu Qingxi didn't respond, she boldly took the clothes that were hanging on the screen, and took a clean bath towel from the side of the barrel, rolled up her sleeves, and went forward to help Chu Qingxi brook.

But who knows that before her fingers touched Chu Qingxi, Chu Qingxi suddenly came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and suddenly shrank his body into the water as if being kissed by a snake, and said coldly: "You Don't touch me, ask Zhu Wen Bihen to come in and serve me."

In fact, she was not angry because Zhao Ning broke into the room on her own initiative, but because she was caught off guard, and she couldn't help being ashamed and anxious. In addition, she failed to heal her wounds at this time. Just now, dredging the meridians and eliminating the stagnation and evil energy in her body really made her exhausted and haggard.

So under the influence of such a variety of emotions, Chu Qingxi didn't know how to treat Zhao Ning in the right way, and didn't have the extra energy to take care of her feelings, so she naturally adopted the way she was best at, using that way In an indifferent tone, he said such things to Zhao Ning.

In fact, her original intention was only because the water contained all kinds of toxins and evil spirits that she had discharged from her body, and even she herself felt that the smell was unbearable.So she thought, how could Zhao Ning be allowed to do such dirty things?

But her indifferent voice came to Zhao Ning's ears, but it had another meaning.Before her words fell, Zhao Ning's eyes suddenly turned red.Since they lived together, except for the fact that Chu Qingxi was a little indifferent when they first met, it has been a long time since they have treated themselves like this.

Zhao Ning didn't know what he did wrong. If he broke into her room without permission, it was because he was worried about her!If it was another person, an ordinary stranger immersed in this stinky muddy water, even if he was crying and begging for himself, I am afraid that he would not want to stay by his side for half a minute.

Zhao Ning's heart was clenched tightly, half wronged and half sad.She suppressed the tears that were about to fall, turned around and walked out without making a sound, and shouted with a choked voice: "Zhu Wen, Bihen, you... just get another bucket of hot water and send it in as soon as possible."
