There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 164 Liu Huixiang: Cuihua, please move to the first floor

The end of Jiaolou Street is quiet and brightly lit.

The braziers and torches set up by the personal guards guarding the door of Su Xian's house were burning brightly, which complemented the torches in the hands of the patrolling guards on the wall behind the house, and together they illuminated the place like daylight.

The soldiers were wearing strong armor and standing like pine trees. The jumping firelight reflected on the bright armor, reflecting bursts of light.

Majestic.

awesomeness.

Ordinary thieves would turn around and leave when they saw such a battle.

Even if those lawless bandits dare to come, they will be intimidated by the soldiers and will not get in...

However, these personal guards would not know that three bandits had already sneaked into the house behind them!

……

Compared with the quietness of Jiaolou Street, some places in the county are extraordinarily lively, such as the county government office.

Because Princess Lanling has moved to [-] miles north of the county seat.

In addition to a group of subordinate officials, there were also a hundred thousand troops brought from Shendu. The entire military camp was moved to the north of Leshou County.

The county magistrate Tang Ju has received the princess's order and ordered him to leave the city immediately and go to the marching camp to meet Her Royal Highness.

Inside and outside the county government office, there was a huge buzz of people, just like the daytime.

……

Corner Tower Street.

Liu Huixiang's home.

Time goes back to an hour ago.

Just had dinner.

As usual, the two masters and servants came to Liu Huixiang's boudoir, washed their feet, and then chatted about home affairs.

Whoa!
The sound of water continued in the quiet boudoir.

Zhang Cuihua squatted in front of the footbath and carefully massaged the young lady's white and petite feet. She had become accustomed to this massage technique.

Liu Huixiang sat on a small stool with her legs crossed. She grasped the lifted skirt with both hands and pressed it on her legs. She grasped it tighter and tighter. Her knuckles, which were as white as onions, turned white.

She looked down at the busy Zhang Cuihua, pursed her bright red lips lightly, hesitated to speak several times, her face was tangled.

Whoa!
Whoa!
The sound of water is still there.

Zhang Cuihua worked very hard, massaging her feet carefully and gently...

Finally, Liu Huixiang made up her mind.

Her hands that were tightly holding the skirt loosened.

"Cuihua, starting from tonight, you will move..."

Before she could finish her words, Liu Huixiang suddenly paused.

Because she saw the fine beads of sweat on Zhang Cuihua's forehead... Zhang Cuihua was so attentive. She was such a strong person, and she actually sweated from exhaustion just trying to massage her feet!
Massage is not about using brute force, but requires precise control of force.

Just like Zhang Fei's embroidery, how to handle that small embroidery needle is actually a very tiring job...

This situation made Liu Huixiang think about something in her heart for a long time, but she couldn't say it out for a while.

She grasped the hem of her skirt with both hands, gradually tightening her grip, and her knuckles turned white.

"What did you say, Miss?"

Zhang Cuihua kept massaging, and when she looked up, her fleshy face was covered with beads of sweat, and she squeezed out a slightly scary smile.

"No... nothing..."

"Miss, just say it if you have anything to say. Why are you so polite to me?"

"..."

Liu Huixiang paused.

Su Xian's handsome face couldn't help but appear in front of his eyes.

Then there was the feeling of being hugged around the waist and kissed...

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but tighten her legs...

Suddenly, Liu Huixiang noticed that Zhang Cuihua looked at her "crazy" expression just now... She immediately lowered her head and nodded, her face flushed red.

"Miss, are you... could it be that the water is too hot?" Zhang Cuihua paused the massage and tilted her head slightly to make a guess.

"no……"

"Or maybe the slave massaged too hard?"

"It's not..."

"Then why is this? Miss?"

"..."

Zhang Cuihua was full of curiosity and couldn't help lowering her head to look at the face of Liu Huixiang, who was lowering his head and nodding. His eyes were as big as copper bells.

Liu Huixiang grabbed her skirt with both hands and couldn't help but exert strength again.

Facing Zhang Cuihua's curious gaze, she turned her head to the side, pursed her bright and plump lips tightly, her face became increasingly ashamed.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Miss, don't scare me!"

Zhang Cuihua was really shocked.

She stood up and shook off the water droplets on her hands, then wiped it gently on her body, then held Liu Huixiang's two weak and slender arms with two iron pliers and shook them gently.

"I'm fine, Cuihua, don't be nervous...it hurts..."

"Oh... this slave is reckless."

"..."

Zhang Cuihua immediately let go of the young lady's arm, took two steps back, and carefully looked at the young lady's charming and red face.

But she didn't see any reason for it.

So he said softly:
"If you have anything to say, young lady, just say it directly. I have been with young lady for so many years. What hardships have you not endured? What crimes have you never suffered? Miss, just say it."

"..."

After hearing this, Liu Huixiang felt even more ashamed.

But unable to withstand Zhang Cuihua's constant urging, she finally decided to speak out what she had been brewing for a long time.

Zhang Cuihua was so happy that she grinned widely. She silently knelt down to massage the young lady's feet and listened attentively.

"Cuihua, starting from tonight, you... just move to the first floor."

"..."

After Liu Huixiang finished speaking, she breathed a long sigh of relief, then lowered her head and did not dare to look at her face.

"What did you say, Miss?"

Zhang Cuihua was stunned. The smile on her fleshy face suddenly froze, and the action of washing her feet and massaging her feet also stopped.

She raised her head and stared blankly at her young lady.

She never thought that what her young lady was going to say would actually be like this... drive her to the first floor!
Liu Huixiang's heart was also very complicated.

On one side is the lover.

On one side is his loyal servant who has been with him for many years.

But she chose her lover...

This made her feel ashamed, or guilty, and she always felt that she had wronged Zhang Cuihua.

This decision actually came to her mind a few days ago——

Send Zhang Cuihua to the first floor, and then she won't have so many worries during the tryst with Su Xian. She doesn't have to tie her hands and feet, and can make a little fierce noise...

She hesitated for several days but never put it into practice.

However, in the past two days, her husband "lost and found". She no longer wanted to be so worried and afraid, and she wanted to speed up the relationship between the two.

It just so happened that this afternoon, when she and Su Xian were talking to each other in the boudoir, she vaguely sensed that Su Xian also had that intention with a woman's sixth sense.

Since ancient times, it is difficult to hold oneself back when love is strong.

Liu Huixiang was born in an aristocratic family that places great emphasis on etiquette, so she shouldn't have thought this way.

However, she is no longer a young lady from a wealthy family, so she does not need to deliberately abide by those etiquette...

In general, she had the idea of ​​​​accelerating the relationship between the two, and Su Xian also had that intention. It can be said that they hit it off immediately.

Therefore, Liu Huixiang decided to have a "successful situation".

So the scene just now happened——

She suggested that Zhang Cuihua move to the first floor.

……

No matter what, the words have been spoken, so let’s go to the dark side...

"Cuihua, starting from tonight, you can move to the first floor." Liu Huixiang repeated the story, her heart beating wildly.

"But Miss..."

"I have to settle the accounts at night, so I will inevitably study ink and move around... It's quiet at night, and I'm afraid it will disturb your rest." Liu Huixiang had calmed down a little and said the reason she had thought of for a long time.

"Miss, you are worrying too much. Once I fall asleep, even nine cows can't wake me up. The little noise I make will not affect my slave."

"That's because I deliberately slowed down..." Liu Huixiang continued to suppress the shame and embarrassment in her heart.

"My slave is not afraid... In fact, this slave has long wanted to move in and live with the young lady. In this way, the young lady will not be afraid when she sees small bugs, mice and the like."

"..."

Liu Huixiang pursed her bright red lips tightly and said to herself: "How could you move in? Didn't you see all the love affairs between Mr. Su and I?"

She thought for a while, shook her head and said:

"Actually, there are other reasons why I asked you to move to the first floor..."

"what reason?"

"You...you always like to snore at night, I...I..."

"..."

Liu Huixiang's whole face turned red again. She felt ashamed. In order to have a tryst with her lover, she actually accused Zhang Cuihua of snoring at night...

But the bow did not turn back.

Now that that sentence has been spoken, it must succeed.

She knew that she had slandered Zhang Cuihua, so she said silently in her heart: "Cuihua is sorry, I was selfish, and I will treat you even better in the future..."

After hearing this, Zhang Cuihua raised her head and slowly lowered it. Her face was full of embarrassment, shame, and self-blame, and she wanted to slap herself in the face.

The room fell silent for a while.

A little embarrassing.

Finally Zhang Cuihua stood up, lowered her head and said:
"Miss, this servant will move right now..."

"Um……"

Liu Huixiang nodded slightly, then lowered his head.

Zhang Cuihua took two steps, then turned back, took the footbath away, and said in a remorseful tone before going out:
"Miss, this slave will be living on the first floor starting tonight. If... the miss sees little bugs or mice, just shout and the slave will immediately go upstairs to catch bugs and mice!"

"Um……"

Liu Huixiang turned her head away and couldn't bear to look at each other.

boom!
Zhang Cuihua finally went out and the door was closed.

Liu Huixiang sat blankly on the small stool, hearing the sounds of moving things and people going up and down the stairs from next door...

After about half a stick of incense time has passed.

All sounds have ceased.

Zhang Cuihua shouted outside the door:

"Miss, I have found a gong. You can put it in the lady's room. If you are in danger, please ring the gong and I will come upstairs immediately."

Liu Huixiang stood up, opened the door, and saw Zhang Cuihua holding a half-worn gong in her hand and a mallet in the other hand.

"it is good."

She took the gong and the mallet.

"Miss, go to bed early, remember to ring the gong if you have something to do."

Zhang Cuihua stomped downstairs and left with a glare.

Liu Huixiang closed the door and hung the gong on the bedpost at the end of the bed...

……

……

next door.

Su Xian's home.

After Su Xian came out of the study, he and Yang Zhilan rummaged around the house together.

The drawers of various cabinets, above the beams, low beds, and even cracks in the wooden structure of the house, etc., the two did not miss any place.

The reason why Su Xian spent so much time searching everywhere was as if he was digging three feet into his house.

In fact, it was because, just now in the study, Xiao Xianzi told him that the approximate location of the secret letter was within the range of "a radius of more than ten zhang with Su Xian's house as the center".

Although Su Xian knew that this location was most likely fake.

It was a smoke bomb released by Xiao Xian Zi.

It was also the lie she used to calm Su Xian's anger.

But the matter involved too much, and Su Xian chose to believe it, so there was a scene where he took Yang Zhilan and searched everywhere.

It doesn’t matter if you look for it anyway.

It's just a waste of time.

What if I find it...

After half an hour.

Su Xian rubbed his waist and returned to the bedroom, frowning.

Needless to say, he didn't find even a trace of the envelope!
"That's all, don't force it if you can't find it."

Su Xian lay straight on the bed, looked at the hole in the wall, then looked at Yang Zhilan and ordered: "Go and tell them to prepare bath water, I want to take a bath."

"Yes."

Yang Zhilan turned around and walked out.

Having more people in the family also has the benefits of having more people, at least Yang Zhilan no longer has to do these rough jobs.

After a while, Yang Zhilan returned, closed the door, and stood upright beside Su Xian, motionless.

"By the way, eggs can't be put in the same basket."

Su Xian jumped up from the bed, squatted down, reached under the bed, and pulled out a large wooden box.

On the side, two points of light flickered in Yang Zhilan's eyes.

She knew that more than half of Su Xian's wealth was contained in this wooden box. Of course, those belongings are not important, what is important is the bunch of keys.

The bunch of keys pulled from the body of the inner guard Xiaoge leader.

Also placed in this wooden box...

As she was thinking about it, Yang Zhilan couldn't help but get distracted. On her ice-shaped face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, her two heroic eyebrows twisted slightly... Although the leader of the small pavilion was dead, his influence on Yang Zhilan has not been eliminated to this day.

With the sound of "clang", Yang Zhilan was brought back to reality.

Su Xian has opened the wooden box.

She lowered her eyes and saw that there were piles of banknotes inside, and the important keys were also lying there quietly.

Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Fortunately, the babies are still there and have not been stolen by Xiao Xianzi!"

Two points of light flashed in Yang Zhilan's eyes, and she thought:

"That Xiaoxian Zi is not a mortal. The baggage she carries contains several times more banknotes than the ones in this wooden box..."

"..."

"Zhilan, come find a baggage."

Su Xian suddenly looked at her and ordered.

Yang Zhilan nodded and quickly found a small baggage. She didn't know what Su Xian wanted to do, but it was not an important matter so she didn't ask.

After Su Xian took the small bundle, he put half of the banknotes in it, patted the bulging bundle gently and said with a smile:

"I'll send half of the bank notes to Mrs. Liu's house next door and ask her to hide them for me."

So that's it... Yang Zhilan felt suddenly, but her face was expressionless.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the bunch of keys, murmured for a long time, pointed at the keys and said in a voice without any emotion:

"key."

"Alright."

Su Xian didn't think much, just stuffed the key into the small baggage, and then tightened the laces of the baggage...

After returning the big wooden box under the bed, the bath water is ready.

Su Xian took a comfortable bath and put on a set of New Confucian shirts given to him by Liu Huixiang. He felt refreshed and graceful, as if he were a tree in the wind.

Back to the bedroom.

Su Xian grabbed the small bundle, walked towards the wooden ladder on the wall, and told Yang Zhilan:

"I'm going to the next door. Look at Xiao Xianzi and the others. If there is any abnormality, you can control her immediately!"

"But be careful and don't hurt her life without my permission."

"Yes!"

Yang Zhilan nodded, and then spontaneously walked over to help Su Xian hold the ladder.
