The little daughter-in-law of the palace

Chapter 37
On the second day after King Cheng Yuding left, Sister Hanzhu got a puppy.

It's from the neighbor's house. The bitch gave birth to six puppies. It's almost two months old. A yellow-haired one got into the backyard here from nowhere, and the two sisters who came out for a walk after dinner bumped into each other.Ningzhu likes it very much, squatting down to call the puppy, the dog is also bold, as soon as it is called, it runs over shaking its head and licking the palm of Ningzhu non-stop.

Having played enough, Ningzhu picked up the little yellow dog and looked at her sister eagerly, she wanted to raise it.

Seeing her younger sister smiling so happily while playing with the dog, Hanzhu sent Uncle Zhang to return the dog and ask the neighbor if they would sell it.

In the end, Uncle Zhang bought the dog for a tael of silver, and Ningzhu named it Zhuang Zhuang, and he had to hug him when he slept at night.

The two sisters slept in the same room. In the morning, they were in a daze. They felt something stepped on them. When they opened their eyes, they saw Zhuang Zhuang’s curled up dog’s tail. The little guy turned to look at her when he heard the movement. Turned his head away for a while, and crawled over the beaded quilt again, clumsily and arrogantly.

Hanzhu smiled sincerely.

In the morning, Uncle Zhang called back, saying that the people from the tooth shop had come, and he wanted to follow him to see the house.

Hanzhu took out two hundred taels of silver bills and gave them to him, "Hold them first, and pay the deposit first if the ones are suitable."

It's not a problem to always live in someone else's house. The sooner you find a new house and move out, the better you can get married with Zhang Fu sooner.After being missed by others, Hanzhu understood his father's painstaking efforts. No matter how low his status is, Zhang Fu is a strong and tall man. With a decent husband, others will be more scruples even if they have bad intentions.

Uncle Zhang collected the banknote and left.

Zhang Fu was waiting in the front yard. Seeing his father coming out, he leaned over with some confidence, and asked what he had been holding back for a day, "Father, are you unhappy with her?"

Uncle Zhang knew what his son was thinking, so he glanced at him and said, "What do you think the young lady is? There is no one who is more polite than the young lady in the world. The young lady is only grateful to the young master, and has no side at all." You don’t want to make wild guesses, just stay at home and watch.”

After being scolded, Zhang Fu smiled contentedly. The man was so sweet and unmoved, so what did he have to be afraid of?

When Uncle Zhang came back in the afternoon, he took a fancy to a two-entry house. There were many scholars in the neighborhood, clean and tidy, but a bit expensive.Hanzhu was not short of this money, so he immediately gave Uncle Zhang all the silver used to buy the house, and asked him to go to the Yamen to handle the handover of the land title tomorrow.

Uncle Zhang readily agreed.

As night fell, the two sisters washed their feet together and got into bed to sleep. Zhuangzhuang liked the beads more and nestled next to the beads pillow.

It was late at night, and suddenly there was a soft noise outside.

Zhuang Zhuang raised his ears, stared out of the window for a while, and suddenly barked.It was still young, so it didn't scream loudly, and the people in the front yard couldn't hear it, but the Hanzhu sisters woke up immediately.

Ningzhu rubbed her eyes and asked her sister, "What's wrong?"

Zhuang Zhuang had already run to the window when he was speaking, although he stopped barking, his round head was still raised high, looking outside vigilantly.

Hanzhu has experienced the incident of being broken into the boudoir at night, and she has lingering fears, so she nervously calls Chunliu to light the lamp.

After a while, Uncle Zhang and others came over. Hearing through the window from Hanzhu that there might be a thief, they carried a lantern and checked the front and back yards carefully, even the roof, to make sure that no one reunited. come over.

Hanzhu was already dressed, and stood at the door of the house to ask about the situation.

"No one," the woman who looked after Cheng Yu's house asked curiously, "Miss, did you hear someone break open the door?"

No one was found, Hanzhu was a little embarrassed, and explained in a soft voice: "No, Zhuangzhuang suddenly called out in the middle of the night, I thought a thief came..."

The woman smiled kindly, "We have lived here for more than 20 years, and there has never been a robbery in the whole street. Girl, don't take the barking of the dog seriously. Such a big dog has a lot of trouble, and no one will bark twice, girl. When they didn't come, the puppies next door barked every day, otherwise they would be willing to send them all out."

When she said this, Hanzhu's face became hotter, and she blamed herself: "I made a fuss, you go back to sleep."

The couple left first.

Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang followed closely behind, and Zhang Fu took a peek at Hanzhu before turning around reluctantly.

Hanzhu went back to the inner room in shame, went in and knocked on Zhuang Zhuang who was held by his sister in his arms, "It's all your fault for barking."

"It's my sister who is timid. There are no thieves." Ningzhu yawned and spoke for her beloved dog.

Hanzhu shook her head and rested again.

On the roof, Cheng Yu was lying there in black, secretly glad that it was his own people who took pictures of the roof just now, otherwise he would really have done bad things because of an unexpected pup.

Seeing that the lights inside were dark through the tiles that had just been removed in a hurry, Cheng Yu took out the scented incense that he had prepared earlier, and slowly blew it in.

After blowing and covering the tiles, after waiting for a quarter of an hour, Cheng Yu jumped off the roof again. After standing there for a while, he didn't hear the dog barking. He was sure that the dog was also unconscious. Cheng Yu blew incense on the sleeping maid again. Just pried open the door and flashed in.

He remembered the furnishings in the room, and quickly lit a lamp. The light was dim, soft and inconspicuous.

Cheng Yu walked slowly to the kang.

She left the kang head to her younger sister, and slept outside by herself. The pink quilt made her face slightly red, which was different from her paleness along the way.

Looking at her stretched black eyebrows, Cheng Yu was lost in thought.

Did she see him as a benefactor?After listening to him for a while, I guess I will hate him again.

But he doesn't care, Ah Xun is only two years old, he must be taken care of by someone, and he must be the master, who can hold down his aunt, concubine, concubine and daughter in terms of status.

He can only choose her.

His gaze returned to cold, Cheng Yu first covered her mouth, then pulled out the stopper of the small porcelain bottle and brought it to her nose.

Afraid that she would wake up and scream, he covered her tightly, the lips under his palm were warm and soft, for some reason he thought of being by the river that day.

This is the first woman he has ever met.

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful she is, it has nothing to do with him.

The last bit of unbearable feeling in his heart was gone, Cheng Yu tightly covered her mouth, waiting for her to wake up.

Hanzhu smelled an extremely unpleasant smell, she frowned, opened her eyes, and unexpectedly met a familiar indifferent face, such a cold face, such cold eyes, so cold that people ignored his handsomeness, Don't dare to look more.

Hanzhu looked at him blankly, unable to tell if this was a dream.

Didn't he leave, didn't he never come back again, why...

"Are you awake?" Cheng Yu asked in a low voice without any disturbance in his eyes.

Hanzhu nodded involuntarily.

She was surprisingly calm, Cheng Yu frowned, "Aren't you afraid of me? Don't you wonder why I came here in the middle of the night?"

His voice was low, and the chill of the winter night could be felt against her hand. Hanzhu was completely awake, unable to speak, but her almond eyes widened.
