[Qing Chuan] Qing Chuan Wu Shi

Wu Ning nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said to Zhuqi: "You call them all into the main room." After speaking, he got up and walked outside.

She had just taken off her flower pot-soled shoes and changed into a pair of flat-soled embroidered Chinese shoes, and she didn't bother to change them back at this time, so she just walked out, sat on the upper seat of the main room, patted the armrest of the chair, and said to Zhu Qi: "What about the things I asked you to prepare?".

Just now Zhuqi came to his senses, he quickly took out the small package that he had prepared earlier from the hidden compartment next to the bookcase. Inside were various purses, colorful and jumbled together.

Wu Ning saw that all the eunuchs and court ladies in his yard were kneeling on the ground, he cleared his throat and said with a smile: "It's nothing important to call everyone here, just to make a summary. The old year has passed, my yard Although the place is not big, there are not too few people who take care of Meng Ye and Fujin."

When she said this, she paused slightly, and said with a smile: "where there are many people, there will naturally be many right and wrong." Seeing everyone kneeling neatly in the hall, each of them silently lowered their heads to listen to her, Wu Ning's heart moved , swallowed the following words into his stomach—why bother?New Year's Eve!

Besides, too much talk is bound to fail.

Too much talk is bound to fail, an unassailable truth.

Thinking of this, Wu Ning raised his hand to signal to Zhuqi, Zhuqi understood, and went forward to give the eunuchs one by one purses according to the order of arrangement, although the purses are of different colors, the inside weight is the same, so as not to feel dissatisfied, Everyone who received it kowtowed to Wu Ning to thank him, so he didn't mention it.

Because there were not many people, after a while, the purses were all distributed, Wu Ning saw that the crowd had dispersed, so he took a few more gold and silver purses from the back room and gave them to Qingming and other most capable maids in front of him. In the past six months, you guys have worked the hardest, now you have accepted my purse, and you will have to work even harder next year, don’t be afraid.” Several people laughed, saying they didn’t dare, and kowtowed to Wu Ning to thank him, Wu Ning asked them to get up, and then said: "I'm really tired too, Zhuqi went to the house to help me make the bed, everyone else go down, I'm going to make a bed."

Qingming and the others left, Zhuqi saw that the bed in the back room had already been made, she was a little confused, wondering why Wu Ning wanted her to make the bed.Wu Ning said: "You change my pillow, this one is not very comfortable to sleep on."

Zhuqi said "ah?", and still stepped forward to change the pillow, but he muttered in his heart: "The hang silk on this pillow came in a few days ago, and the fourth elder brother specially ordered it to be sent to the master. .Because the texture is silky and the pattern is elegant, and it has been praised by the master, how did you become 'uncomfortable' so quickly?".

While thinking about it, she stepped forward to pick up the pillow, but there was a big envelope under the pillow, with the word "Zhuqi" written on it, the shape of the characters was weird, and the ink was crooked.Because Zhuqi often served Wu Ning to write notes, he recognized his master's handwriting, and he already understood three or four points in his heart.She looked back at Wu Ning, hesitantly said: "Master?".

Wu Ning lowered his head, took a sip of scented tea, and said with a smile: "I can always recognize my name? Whoever owns it, please take it quickly. I'm not responsible for losing it!".

Zhuqi raised his face slowly and said: "Master, the slave just took the purse, this is really unnecessary!".

Wu Ning heard that her voice was not restrained, quickly put down the flower tea, stepped forward to cover her mouth, stomped and said: "Be quiet!", and pointed to the outside, Zhu Qi understood, immediately shut her mouth tightly, and then He raised both hands to cover Wu Ning's, covering his mouth, his eyeballs kept rolling.

Wu Ning said in a low voice: "Idiot! Your master can't keep a bowl of water unbalanced, just for showing them!".

Zhuqi still felt that something was wrong, so what else to say, Wu Ning said with a smile: "You just treat me as the person in Si Ye's mansion that I rewarded just now, and now I reward my natal family.".

After hearing this, Zhuqi's eye circles turned red immediately, without saying anything, she lowered her head and opened the envelope.

Inside the envelope was a thin banknote, which was issued by Zhuangzi in the capital. Zhuqi saw the amount on the banknote clearly, and immediately widened his eyes, plopped down on his knees and said, "Master, this slave is ashamed, I can't afford to ...".

Wu Ning intercepted her remaining words and said: "You can't bear it, who can bear it?".

Zhuqi was a little choked up, and said: "Master, slave...actually very stupid...", Wu Ning deliberately teased her, glanced at Zhuqi from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile: "Who said you are smart?".

Zhuqi's eyes widened, and he glanced at Wu Ning, Wu Ning couldn't help lowering his head and chuckling.

Zhuqi lowered his eyes and continued: "Not to mention Shuoxue, Shuyi, and Jinhua in the other courtyard, even the Qingming in front of me, the slaves can't compare!".

Wu Ning put away his smile and said seriously: "Why do you want to compare with others? Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and what you think are their strengths may not be strengths in your master's eyes."

When Zhuqi heard this, his face was full of thinking and confusion, Wu Ning smiled and said: "You should keep this money well, after staying for a few years, I will tell my master to help you find a good one." Marriage, marrying a good family, even if I gave you a dowry in advance!".

After Zhuqi heard this, she suddenly raised her head, her flushed face turned pale, she threw herself forward in a loss of composure, hugged Wu Ning's flag and shook it desperately: "Master! Master! What are you talking about?" Huh? The slave will serve you for the rest of his life, and the slave will not marry!"

Wu Ning was dizzy from being shaken by her, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Okay, okay!" Seeing that Zhuqi was still staring at him uneasy, and wrapped around his legs like an octopus, he lowered his head and broke them apart one by one. She pointed her fingers and said in a low voice: "If you are always by my side and serve me, I will naturally wish for it. But I am a person with no past and no future, and I don't know if I will suddenly disappear from this time and space one day. When you have no one to rely on, what do you do?"

The more Zhuqi listened, the more his eyebrows frowned and tightened, and finally he said in a daze, "The master is the daughter of Lord Zhizhou, and the concubine of the fourth master, how come there is no past and no future?".

Wu Ning thought to himself, since I can inexplicably come here from the steps of the Forbidden City, God knows what is going on with this space-time tunnel?Maybe one day I will suddenly travel back. This is something that is uncertain, so why is it so strange?

It's just that this level can't be discussed with Zhuqi.

What Zhuqi said just now is correct: in terms of wink, flexibility, character, and appearance, she is not as good as Qingming.If Qingming changed to a better background, he would surely make the road ahead wider and wider.

From the looks of it, Qingming was indeed a person of pure character and trustworthy.

But that's just "looks".

What you hear is not true, what you see is not necessarily true.

Wu Ning only believes in people's hearts over time.

Bead chess is not stupid, but aptitude is definitely not good either.In Wu Ning's natal family—Master Zhizhou's house, can't there be a maid who is more suitable to serve Wu Ning than Zhuqi?

Naturally, there are plenty of candidates.

However, her natal family only let Zhuqi follow her.

why?

In this, there is Zhuqi's reason for playing Wu Ning, a small servant, and the reason for fear that the maid is too smart and will cause more troubles, and there are more considerations in various aspects.

But Wu Ning believes that there must be a most fundamental and essential reason - that is the most important reason for Wu Ning's parents, from the perspective and standpoint of their children's heart.

They trust bead chess.

This is enough.

Wu Ning tilted his neck back, reached out and fiddled with the bead flower on his head - he found nothing.Wu Ning didn't pay attention, thinking that she had misremembered the location, she raised her hand to touch the hair on the other side, and said in a whisper: "Put away the things, you can go to rest...", just as the words fell, her hands The movement stopped.

The other side of the temple is also empty.

Beads are lost.

The fourth elder brother personally picked the bead flowers for her.

Wu Ning's heart was suddenly empty, and before he had time to think about it, he got up and rushed out.

She clearly remembered that when she just came out from Fujin's place, she raised her hand to stroke her temple hair, and at that time, the bead flower was still on her head.

Wu Ning comforted himself: the pearl flower probably fell on the garden path.

"Master?" Seeing Wu Ning walking in a hurry, Zhuqi quickly took off the cloak on the hanger, and hurriedly followed her out: "Master! Where are you going?" As soon as she rushed out of the room, she felt that everything was clear in front of her eyes. , It turned out that after such a short period of time, a thin layer of snow fell quietly, and the wind hung on his face like a knife cut.

Zhuqi catches up and sees Wu Ning looking for something, she doesn't know that Zhuhua is lost, she hurriedly catches up and stumbles: "Master, put on the cloak first! You forgot the serious illness half a year ago , but it was also frozen!".

Wu Ning turned a deaf ear to it, frowning and looking at her feet—the snow in the north was tight, and in just a short while, the withered grass on the ground had been loosely covered with a layer of crushed snow, which blocked a lot of sight. There was a burst of broken snow foam.

Zhuqi managed to catch up, and couldn't help but put the cloak on Wu Ning, tied the belt carefully, and complained a little: "Master, what are you looking for, let the people in the yard It’s fine if someone can help you find it!” After hearing Wu Ning say that the bead flower given by the fourth elder brother was gone, Zhuqi thought for a while and comforted him: “The servants who clean the garden don’t dare to steal such a luxurious thing. If you take it, you will know which master it is as soon as you see it, and you must send it to Fujin, and when the time comes, naturally... ".

When she said this, she saw that Wu Ning was standing by the side of a pond. The lotus leaves in the pond withered early, the pond water was clogged, and there was a steep slope on the side. Wu Ning stood beside the steep slope, with a windbreaker fluttering on his body Seeing that it was very dangerous, Zhuqi quickly grabbed Wu Ning and pulled her to the side.

Wu Ning just drank hot scented tea in the room, and was anxious in his heart. When he rushed out, he felt hot and didn't feel anything. Now he stood still, but the cold wind pierced into the bones of his body like needles, and he saw the sky Snowflakes are still falling in the vast expanse, and there is a large area in the garden. It is not easy to find a small pearl hairpin after a while.

At this moment, behind the rockery next to it, a female voice suddenly said clearly and crisply: "Sister Wu is looking for this, is this?".

Both Wu Ning and Zhuqi didn't expect that there were still people in the garden when it was still early in the daylight, they were all shocked and looked behind the rockery.
