yellow door

After Wen Mu left, he didn't hear the subsequent conversation between An De and Liu Sui'er.

Because Liu Sui'er's words revealed that she was inferior to Chang Xiu, at the end, An Hai suddenly snorted and said: "He is a smart person, he can please the master, and he can win the favor of the master, but he is a good person after all. A rootless man, seeing him now in a beautiful state, and approaching old age, you can't say how miserable it is!"

"How do you say that?" Actually, what Liu Sui'er wanted to ask was, aren't eunuchs all rootless people?Is there any difference in this?But after all, she was a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, so she still couldn't ask such a question.

Probably because he felt that his words were a little too much, An Hai came back to his senses, just shook his head, and then Liu Sui'er asked again, but he was distracted by his words.

It turned out that when the eunuch was purging, the cut objects would be put into a lime powder box by the master operator, one for antisepsis, and the other for absorbing the blood moisture in it to keep the objects dry.When the time comes, wipe the object clean with a damp cloth, and then soak it in sesame oil for a few hours. When the oil is soaked, put it into a small wooden box lined with silk cotton, seal the package, choose an auspicious day, and send it to the net. The ancestral hall of the cleanse is placed on the main beam, or the wooden box is handed over to the cleanse for safekeeping.When the eunuch dies of old age in the future, when the body is buried, this "illegal thing" must be taken out and sewn in the private parts of the deceased to restore the deceased to his original body.

The eunuchs who entered the palace were generally divided into three categories, one was those who were sold by their family members in the palace, the other was those who sold themselves, and the other was those who were fined and confiscated into the palace like Chang Xiu.It's all a matter of being stabbed, if the former two want to receive more care during the cleansing, and recover well after cleansing, they will naturally have some money to manage.As for confiscation of the palace like Chang Xiu, even though the family committed a crime, but because it has been recorded, the master operator is afraid that if he accidentally confiscates the person, he will not be able to explain to the higher-ups, on the contrary, it is more difficult than usual Be more careful.However, because it was confiscated into the palace by fine, the master would not specially preserve the object that was cut off.

Being confiscated into the palace is originally a punishment, and seeing the ancestors without face after death is even more of a punishment. The emperor's decree to the Liu family at the beginning seemed to leave a way for the young children of the Liu family to survive. His insidiousness is unknown to outsiders.

Seeing that she couldn't ask any more questions from An Hai, Liu Sui'er had to give up in dismay, and the two of them chatted for a while, then separated.

But when Chang Xiu came back, he heard that the fifth prince was looking for him, and he was in the study right now, so he rushed over in a hurry.After entering the door, she saw the Fifth Prince sitting there very leisurely, holding a booklet in her hand and looking at it. Chang Xiu knew that the booklet was copied by the emperor on weekdays and given to the princes as homework. Whether to win the emperor's favor or not depends entirely on the responses to these excerpts.Therefore, he didn't step forward to disturb, but turned around and softly called the maid at the door to bring a bowl of white fungus soup.

Chang Xiu was very afraid of the cold in winter, his lips turned purple from the cold just once outside the door, even though he was wearing bulging clothes, he still couldn't keep out the cold.Although he tried his best not to make a sound, the breath he exhaled seemed to be trembling.

Wen Mu was originally a martial arts practitioner, and his ears and eyes were very clever. Suddenly, he felt a slight movement nearby, so he looked up, but saw his little servant dressed like a big lucky baby in a New Year picture, lowering his head and holding his hands Hehe.Although it is not once or twice that I have seen Chang Xiu's appearance of being afraid of the cold, but such a small person who was so exquisite in the past, now has such an appearance, and every time he sees him, he can't help but secretly laugh again and again.

Chang Xiu didn't know how the fifth prince looked at him. He was busy working his fingers that were frozen stiff. He ran all the way back just now and didn't let his body warm up. Instead, he felt his face and hands were blown by the wind. It hurts.

Suddenly, he felt something hot sticking to his face, which made him startled. When he looked up, he saw that the Fifth Prince was holding a small heater in his hand and sticking it to his face.

Seeing his surprised look, Wen Mu only smiled lightly, then took both of his hands, stuffed the stove into his palms, and said, "I know you're coming back, and you must be too cold, so I specially asked someone to warm your hands first." , this time you come back, it really comes in handy."

Chang Xiu took the heater, first put stickers on both cheeks, and waited until her pale little face turned red, then put the heater down again, and put her hands together.

After his body warmed up, he said to Wen Mu who was standing in front of him with a smile: "Your Highness missed me, and I only went out for a short while. How could it be that the weather is so cold, Hanxiu is probably the same as Xia and Dong?" It's offensive, it attracts mosquitoes in summer, and the cold wind in winter."

Hearing that what he said was interesting, Wen Mu laughed and said, "How can you say that? Could it be that in winter when others walk with you, the cold wind will only blow you?"

But Chang Xiu bent her eyes in an arc, and said: "Han Xiu doesn't know whether the cold wind blows to others, but she knows best whether Han Xiu is cold. Every time I walk with others, I saw that Hanxiu is the one who suffers from the worst cold. I don’t know whether Hanxiu likes Hanxiu too much or not, I feel like I’m the only one who gets cold.”

Just as she was speaking, the maid who was sent by Chang Xiu to serve tremella soup came in. Chang Xiu hurriedly stuffed the stove in her hand into her bosom, then took the tray from the maid's hand, put the plate on the table, and moved her hands from the The inside picked up the bowl and handed it to Wen Mu, saying: "Just now I saw His Highness doing homework, I think I should be tired now, let's take a break first!"

Wen Mu looked at it, but he didn't pick up the bowl in his hand, he just took a spoonful from the bowl, put it to his mouth first, then blinked his eyes, grinned, and suddenly turned his hand, He actually brought the spoon to Chang Xiu's mouth again.

When Chang Xiu saw it, he naturally knew that it was for him to eat. He had tasted Wen Mu's food first, but it was just to test the temperature, and he had never asked Wen Mu to feed it.

Wen Mu's sudden movement made him stunned for a moment, then he turned his head and looked around, seeing that there was no one around, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at Wen Mu, then he stretched his head forward, He opened his mouth and squeezed the spoon into his mouth.When Wen Mu took back the spoon, the corners of Chang Xiu's mouth were slightly turned up, and even her eyes were narrowed. A pair of fluffy eyelashes scratched Wen Mu's heart.

"Is it delicious?" Wen Mu looked at Chang Xiu with a smile, then dug another spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth. After a long while, he just clicked his lips and said, "Sure enough, it's much more delicious than before."

After hearing this, Chang Xiu blushed for some reason, and couldn't help stretching out a hand to snatch the spoon from Wen Mu's hand.Wen Mu didn't give way, he just raised his hand, looked at him with a smile, and said: "In the past, you served the master, but today it's rare for the master to serve you, so there's nothing to be ashamed about."

Seeing Chang Xiu, she just stared helplessly at Wen Mu, then quickly lowered her head, and said softly: "My master is the most noisy, and I'm not afraid of being seen by others."

"It's up to me to decide whether to make trouble or not, and you don't care what other people do!" Wen Mu took another spoonful from the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, saying: "Seeing that you are so cold, it is the master who rewards you." Is it not enough to warm up your body?"

After finishing speaking, he stuffed another spoonful into his mouth with an indescribably proud expression.

Chang Xiu knew very well that this little master's temper was that as long as he made up his mind, he would never listen to anyone's persuasion, so he could only let him feed himself one bite at a time. She became popular, but she didn't know whether she was overwhelmed by the porridge, or was ashamed by Wen Mu's actions.

Wen Mu saw it, but he just felt good.He said with a very satisfied expression: "After eating a bowl of soup, my complexion has really improved a lot."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch Chang Xiu's face again, and continued: "Even your face is hot, now I will find a good way to dispel the cold for you."

Because she knew that Wen Mu would get more and more troublesome, Chang Xiu didn't dare to answer him, she just lowered her head and cleaned up the empty bowl in her hand.Although Wen Mu was not serious on his lips, he knew in his heart that at this moment, the little valet had been humiliated and annoyed again, but he didn't care, he was still talking to himself and teasing Chang Xiu.

Chang Xiu was amused by Wen Mu, and even his eyes were filled with water, which couldn't reach the master, so he could only quickly put away the things, and didn't let outsiders come in to clean up, he just took a plate and opened the door He ran away, but seeing Wen Mu behind him made it even more interesting, and burst out laughing again.

The little eunuch guarding the gate saw his master so happy, although he didn't know why, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart: I don't know what tricks this little eunuch Chang used to always make the master happy, and he felt sorry for Chang Xiu. I can't help being very envious, I just feel that this person really deserves to be one of the "Second Treasures of Zhaoyang Palace", after all, he has more knowledge than ordinary eunuchs like himself.

At night, Chang Xiu was on duty outside as usual. He was always shy of the cold. Since the twelfth lunar month, the weather has become colder and colder, and occasionally there will be some small snowflakes.He curled up his whole body into a ball, but felt that every part of his body was ice, so he just tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Wen Mu had listened to Chang Xiu tossing and turning outside for several days, endured it for a few days, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he just got up and put on some clothes, got out of bed and walked to Chang Xiu's couch forward.

Chang Xiu didn't sleep at all. When she opened her eyes, she suddenly saw a figure standing in front of her. She was startled at first, but when she saw that it was Wen Mu, she quickly sat up, stood up from the couch, and asked, "Your Highness Do you want to get up at night?"

Wen Mu didn't answer, just took his cold little hand, and then led him inside. Chang Xiu looked puzzled and didn't understand what the master meant, so she just followed all the way to the master's bed.

When the two stood still in front of Wen Mu's bed, Wen Mu first took off his shoes and got on the bed, then climbed into the bed, covered the quilt, lifted the other corner of the quilt, and then looked at Chang Xiu with bright eyes.

Only then did Chang Xiu realize that the fifth prince wanted to go to bed with him by himself. Immediately, his little face, which was pale from getting up at night, turned even paler, so white that it was almost transparent. He couldn't help but want to step back, but He was held tightly by the master again, unable to advance or retreat.

"Do you want to freeze to death? Haven't come up yet?" Wen Mu stared at his little servant with bright eyes.

"If people know that Hanxiu has only one chance to die, I beg Your Highness to spare Hanxiu, Hanxiu will not dare." Seeing that the master did not let go, Chang Xiu's words were already crying.

"If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. Who would know what happened in the middle of the night? If you are tossing and turning in the cold outside, disturbing people's peace, it's better to put you to sleep first." Wen Mu spoke plausibly. .

"Hanxiu doesn't dare to surprise His Highness anymore, please let His Highness let Hanxiu go back!" While speaking, Chang Xiu's eyes were almost red.

"When you are so cold that you can't sleep at night, will you lose the energy to serve people tomorrow?"

Wen Mu pulled Chang Xiu onto the bed, and without waiting for him to struggle, he locked his body tightly with his own arms, and comforted him softly: "It doesn't matter, I will wake up early tomorrow. Besides, I won't wake him up during the day." People, no one dares to enter the inner room, you can just sleep here at ease. I have been wanting to call you here for a few nights after listening to your movement."

He paused, and then said: "You have been nestled in bed for so long, and your body is still so cold, no wonder last winter, I only saw you grow tall, but I didn't see you grow flesh, maybe it was because you were cold and couldn't sleep. of."

Although Chang Xiu has grown a little over the past year, she is still thin and small in front of Wen Mu. In addition, Wen Mu usually practices martial arts and keeps fit, so her strength is not comparable to Wen Wenxiu's Chang Xiu.

Unable to struggle, and unable to call people, Chang Xiu could only nestle in Wen Mu's arms not daring to move, and she was too frightened to raise her little head to look at people under the feeling of shame and fear.

Wen Mu pulled Chang Xiu to bed, only to feel a cold jade-like body cuddled in his arms, although through the clothes, he could still feel the coldness all over his body, especially those little feet, which were pressed against his by him. Between the calves, separated by their clothes, he could still tremble from the ice.In this way, he couldn't help secretly rejoicing, what he did was indeed right, and thinking about it, the little man beside him was really freezing.

Feeling that the person in his arms was too frightened to move, Wen Mu couldn't help but chuckled and said, "That's good, I'm on fire, and I'm most afraid of heat in summer. It's not bad to have a natural ice cube like you by my side." Worry can't cool you down. Your body is cold, and you are extremely afraid of the cold in winter. According to me, you can be regarded as a natural heater. I'm afraid there will be no other match like us in the whole world."

When Chang Xiu heard this, she clenched her fists tightly, but didn't make a sound. Wen Mu knew that he couldn't let go, so she just closed her eyes and hugged him and stopped talking.

After a while, he felt the person in his arms slowly warming up, and his body gradually softened. Wen Mu, who had not moved all this time, unconsciously twisted his body. Suddenly, he felt the little person in his arms stiffen all over again. up.

Knowing that Changxiu was still asleep, Wen Mu opened his eyes slightly, and then looked at the hairy head of the man in his arms who was rubbing on the bed, and asked suddenly: "Speaking of which, you have been with me for more than a year. , but I never asked you, why did you enter the palace in the first place? When did you enter? Are there any relatives outside the palace? Are there any familiar friends in the palace?"

Wen Mu's mouth seemed to be rubbing Chang Xiu's ear while talking, and the breath he exhaled directly swept over that snow-white and jade ear. I don't know if it was tickled or something else, Wen Mu only felt the person in his arms He seemed to tremble violently, but before he could react, he heard a soft voice say: "Hanxiu committed a crime at home and did not enter the palace. Now she is outside, and she doesn't have any relatives. Zhenbao Er After entering the palace in the first lunar month of the new year, she first trained in the prison yard, and then followed Chang's husband. In September, she entered the palace to serve in front of His Highness. As for the familiar friends, Hanxiu's time in the palace was short. , I am younger than the palace people who are trained together, and I am not very good at talking, but no one wants to talk to me."

Hearing this, Wen Mu buried his head in Chang Xiu's hair and laughed sullenly: "You are such a clever and clever person, you still can't talk?"

Without waiting for Chang Xiu to answer, he said again: "If something happened at home, why doesn't your mother have any relatives?"

Chang Xiu's voice was a little lower, and she said: "My mother's matter is a bit complicated. My grandmother was originally an only daughter, and my uncle and mother were both named after my grandmother. Later, my grandmother passed away, and my grandfather continued to marry , the subsequent uncles and aunts all took the surname of grandpa. Later, for some reason, my mother and grandpa didn’t have much contact with each other. My mother’s relatives, the uncle’s house, have holidays , see you again."

Although Chang Xiu's words were vague, Wen Mu understood everything.It turned out that Chang Xiu's grandfather was recruited by his grandmother. Therefore, Chang Xiu's mother and uncle all followed her grandmother's surname.Later, when his grandmother passed away, his grandfather probably used the money from his grandmother's family to remarry another wife, but the child he gave birth to this time took his own surname.Thinking about it, it was also because of this reason that his mother had a rift with his grandfather and had little contact with him.

In this way, Chang Xiu's grandfather is really not an honest person.You must know that if the son-in-law remarries, the consent of the woman's family must be obtained. If the status of the son-in-law is removed, a letter must be witnessed by a local official or a famous squire.Chang Xiu's grandfather was able to remarry and have a son to inherit his surname, which shows that he is capable and capable, but the only ones who suffer are probably Chang Xiu's mother and his uncle who follow his grandmother's surname.

Thinking of this, Wen Mu didn't want to mention this disappointment anymore.So, he stroked Chang Xiu's back with his hand under the quilt, then softened his tone, and said, "Stop talking about this, if you really can't sleep, then I'll tell you a story, maybe listen Listen, you're going to sleep."
