spring water

Chun Shui only looked at the food in front of her, and didn't look elsewhere, and she didn't care about those performances of singing, dancing and raising peace beyond the Great Wall, she just ate quietly.When Song Manjun talked to her occasionally, she sent them away with a few words.

Chun Shui knew that she had no room for arrogance, but she couldn't let go of being in a boring banquet.The reason she persuaded herself to come here was for Song Manzhen, but facing a strange and hypocritical person, Chunshui, was unappetizing.Maybe she shouldn't have come?Maybe she should find a hammer and smash the western confinement wall with the hammer. No matter who stops her, she will hit her with a hammer and smash her brains on the ground. Maybe this is the happy life she wants.

Chun Shui is thinking about the important things in her life, and she only teases with the food in the bowl without eating it, and envies the staring maids around her who can't eat the food and can only wait for orders with plates.These servant girls include Mochen and Xiaojuan, as well as Yanli and Xiaozhen.

Previously, Yanli saw Chunshui entering the door, sitting in the VIP seat, and the eldest lady had a gentle conversation with her...all these things were like hallucinations, which Yanli couldn't believe.She has been by Missy's side for so long, serving her every day and trying her best to please her. No matter what Missy does to her that disgusts her, she still swallows her anger and lives on till now!What is she for?The reason is to get the protection of the eldest lady in the Song Mansion!She has been in the Song Mansion for more than five years. Although the eldest lady has not returned to the mansion for a long time after she got married, every time she returns to the mansion, Yanli must serve the eldest lady every night. No matter how the eldest lady treats her, she will swallow her anger and wholeheartedly please her.Even so, the young miss doesn't look at her at all except on the bed, but she claims that the young lady is forbidden to play "harem" on the bed and send other maids, and those maids dare not say a word!

But she has worked so hard for so long to have a little room for presumptuousness. How long has Chun'er been here?Why does the eldest miss spoil her so much? !Even let her eat at the same table with Lord Liu and Lord Yushi?Could it be that last night she teased Chun'er that she wanted her to break into the young lady's boudoir and anger the young lady, but it was self-defeating?Although this Chun'er is crippled, but she is beautiful, she must be able to make a fuss on the bed, and won the love of the eldest lady in one night?

Thinking of Chun'er easily stepping on her head and being loved by the eldest lady, Yan Li trembled with anger, and the plate in his hand also trembled.The fire of her jealousy has not been extinguished yet, and suddenly she thinks that she has played tricks on Chun'er so much, and now that Chun'er is in power, she will definitely take revenge on her!A heart fluttered and restless, his face turned purple, his breath was short of breath, his limbs were numb, and he fell to the ground suddenly, spilling food soup all over the floor.

"What's the matter?" Song Manjun heard the noise and looked towards Yanli, who was sitting on the ground supported by the maid beside him.

"Back to Miss, Yan Li suddenly fell to the ground, I don't know why..." The maid who supported Yan Li returned.

Chun Shui also looked this way, and saw that Yan Li's face was covered with sweat, and his small oval face was as pale as frost. It was very scary at first glance, reminding people of the paper dolls buried with him at the funeral.

Song Manjun only took one look and said, "Carry her down."

"Yes."

Yanli was carried away, and Chunshui saw that she was still looking at Song Manjun all the way, with indescribable sadness and reluctance in her eyes.Chun Shui felt that Yan Li was really pathetic, and was very tired of Song Manjun's indifference.

Wei Zhongcheng pretended nothing happened, and continued to chat with Liu Yutang. Liu Yutang accepted with a smile on his face, but found that the expression on Chunshui's face made him feel even more fond of her.

After eating a meal, Chunshui suffered from indigestion. After the meal, Song Manjun and his party went to the back garden to enjoy the flowers and called Chunshui together.Chun Shui declined because she didn't want to go.

"I'll take you back to Xiaohanzhai." Liu Yutang said.

Chun Shui smiled and said, "No need, although Chun'er is disabled, she can still walk these two steps by herself."

Liu Yutang didn't feel embarrassed but felt happy. He knew Chunshui was just such a person, and she had already expected her rejection. Chunshui was just such a stubborn and cold woman that he admired so much.

Liu Yutang didn't say much anymore and let Chunshui go back on his own, Song Manjun sneered secretly when he saw it.

This time after dinner, Chunshui's status in the Song Mansion was obviously different. People who didn't look at her at all before were very polite when they saw her again. Some people even came to deliver food and drinks to Chunshui every now and then, calling her sister and chatting with her. my own private affairs...

Chun Shui has been left out in the corner since he was a child, and he really feels uncomfortable receiving such attention.But she understood that these people didn't really want to be nice to her at all, and she wanted to make friends with her, and it was only because she was now shrouded in the aura of the eldest lady's doting that they attracted them.When Miss Song has a new favorite tomorrow, her spring water will naturally become a puddle of mud in the corner that no one cares about.

Chun Shui didn't like such things, but he forced himself to perfunctory.Work during the day, and look for opportunities to explore the forbidden area in the west at night.Now she basically has no one in the Song Mansion to stop her, which makes it easier for her to find Song Manzhen.

It's just that the tall stone gate blocked all her way out, and if she wanted to go further west, there was only one way - to swim through the Yingyue Pool.

The spring water is extremely poor. She was submerged once when she was a child and was afraid of water. Besides, she has a bad leg, so swimming is very difficult for her.But now there is only this way to go, if she doesn't take this step, she will stay where she is forever.

Looking at the unfathomable pool water, Chunshui took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling.

Come on, don't be afraid, many people can swim, and you can too.

Chun Shui jumped into the water with a heartbeat.The icy water suddenly surrounded her, Chun Shui recalled the swimming movements and stroked desperately, but his body kept sinking, choking on several mouthfuls of water.Chun Shui was startled, and with a kick, he stood up unexpectedly.She coughed hard and finally returned to her normal state.

Chun Shui understood that the water in the pool was not deep, and although he was choking uncomfortably just now, he was determined not to be drowned, so he made up his mind to learn how to swim.In the next few days, she continued to help out in the back kitchen of the Song Mansion during the day, and at night she took advantage of the darkness to practice swimming before arriving at the forbidden area in the west. After many days, she was finally able to swim a few steps away.When she swam out of the water, she found that there was darkness in front of her eyes, and she didn't know where she was, but the scenery was different.

Chun Shui knew that she had already crossed the high stone gate. Although she was weak and her clothes were drenched and sticking to her body, it was uncomfortable, but the expectation of exploration gave her the motivation to move forward.

Chun Shui saw a light in front of him, but he didn't know who it was. He was a little scared by Song Manjun before, so Chun Shui slowed down and approached cautiously.

Walking into the lights, I found that it was a small boat floating on Yingyue Pool, and an oil lamp was hung on the boat.The small boat was very close to the edge of the pool, and it swayed gently with the water waves. There were two men sitting on the boat talking and drinking, very chic.

Chun Shui squatted among the grass on the bank, thinking about how to move forward without the two people on the boat noticing.

"Yutang, how are you stationed in Lanzhou City these days? Did something strange happen?" One of the men drinking said, Chun Shui could tell that the owner of the voice was Song Manjun's husband, the royal envoy Wei Zhongcheng.

The other one is naturally Master Liu, the guard of Lanzhou City, Liu Yutang: "The residents in Lanzhou City are simple and easy to satisfy, basically there is no big movement."

Wei Zhongcheng snorted coldly: "Xia Yuyuan, that dog emperor is very good at buying people's hearts. Whether it's in the court or in the people, everyone seems to be deceived by the current appearance, and they are more and more addicted to pleasure, throwing me away from the great cause of recovery." to the back of my mind."

Chunshui couldn't help being suspicious when he heard Wei Zhongcheng's words—the great cause of recovery?Could it be that these two were former loyal ministers?Calculated according to their age, when the previous dynasty collapsed, they were young adults in their twenties... Quite possible!

"This can't be blamed on the adults and common people in the court. When Xia Yuyuan broke through the city and forced my emperor to death, the people in the imperial city applauded everyone. After my emperor was cut in half, his upper body was exposed to the sun at the gate of the imperial city for several days. The people gathered vegetables at home. Throwing eggs at him for several days in a row, to vent the anger in my heart... Zhongcheng, if you teach me to tell the truth, I will tell you that it is reasonable for me to perish."

Chun Shui was very angry when he heard Liu Yutang say such outrageous words, thinking that he and Wei Zhongcheng were bound to fall out.Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongcheng was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a heavy sigh: "Brother Yutang, you are right, although I am in the Twelve Dynasty and grew up in the Twelve Dynasty, all my relatives are the sons of the Twelve Dynasty Min. To tell you the truth, when I was a child, I had a lot of dissatisfaction with the imperial government, and I called on everyone in the private school to brainstorm and write a memorial. Fortunately, the private school teacher stopped me, otherwise I would have been accused of treason Yes, I hated my emperor, and even called him a fatuous and incompetent dog emperor behind his back. However, even if I have made a thousand mistakes towards the emperor, when the country is broken, I still feel ashamed Daoxian still wants to revive me!"

Liu Yutang also sighed: "Zhongcheng, what you think in your heart is also my idea. The restoration of the Twelve Dynasties is also my lifelong goal. Now that Xia Yuyuan has established the Xia Dynasty, he has been indulging in beauty, rituals and music all day long. The common people have reduced taxes for ten years, but the army of the Xia Dynasty was lax in training, if it is well planned, breaking through the imperial city is not just a delusion."

Wei Zhongcheng said: "I have applied to Xia Yuyuan many times to go back to my hometown to visit my relatives, and the faint king still remembers to send his confidants to accompany me to monitor my every move. But he certainly did not expect that his so-called confidantes have already become my ministers. I In the name of going home to visit relatives, I actually went to the outside of the Great Wall, where my [-] troops train hard every day, so that one day I give them an order to attack the imperial city."

Liu Yutang said: "I also met with the remaining officials of the Twelve Dynasty in many cities and towns, arranged for my colleagues to meet, and slowly concentrated our troops, only waiting to join you in the future to kill Xia Yuyuan by surprise."

Chun Shui was very emotional listening to the conversation between the two of them. She was originally the only daughter of a general of the Twelve Dynasty. When they mentioned it so passionately, she immediately burst into tears—she thought that the old dream of the previous dynasty had already turned into ashes, but she didn't expect that there were still these loyal ministers secretly planning to recover!Chun Shui only hated that his father had died in the battle, otherwise his father would definitely be able to make suggestions with them now!

Wei Zhongcheng raised his glass to respect Liu Yutang, and after drinking the cup, his tone slowed down, and he sighed, "Yutang, you have worked hard all these years... You are a girl who wants you to disguise yourself as a man and do what these men do. "

Liu Yutang said: "Why do you say these things, Zhongcheng? I've already gotten used to my current status. If it wasn't for the recovery, Yutang would have no goal in life, like a walking corpse. And no matter a man or a woman, the heart to serve the country is the same. of."

Wei Zhongcheng didn't say anything else, and had three drinks with Liu Yutang.

Chun Shui thought to himself, it turns out that Liu Yutang is actually a woman, no wonder she looks so beautiful and delicate.But if it's a woman... Chun Shui doesn't know how to recall those obvious good feelings.

Thinking of the fact that Song Manjun wanted to kill Wei Zhongcheng, Chun Shui was secretly startled—could it be that Song Manjun already knew Wei Zhongcheng's purpose?However, Song Manjun relied on Wei Zhongcheng to get his status today. If she killed him now, wouldn't she be afraid that no one would call her Mrs. Yushi again?If you can't go back to Lanzhou City in a beautiful way, even if you walk on the street, no one cares about it?

There are too many bizarre things in it, but Chun Shui is moved.As Wei Zhongcheng said, no matter how hated the emperors of the Twelve Dynasties are, the people are always good, their relatives are always good, and every mountain and river are full of her memories.

Chun Shui wanted to show up to meet Wei Zhongcheng and Liu Yutang, but felt it was inappropriate.After all, she just listened to Wei Zhongcheng and Liu Yutang's one-sided words and couldn't confirm their true identities, so she should stay calm and wait for careful observation before acting.And now that she doesn't understand what's going on between them and Song Manjun, it's not appropriate to startle them. She still has to swim forward to find Song Manzhen.
