Concubine like a house

Chapter 14
So, he didn't care about face, and hurriedly let go of his old face and brought his son to plead guilty, trying to make things turn around.

Yunci accepted the greeting card and passed it to the Dongyuan study to receive the guests. Hanchu did not evade, and stayed by his side.

"The dog has no eyes and no eyes, and offended His Royal Highness, the old minister came here to plead guilty. I hope His Highness Haihan."

When Ming Cheng said this, Yun Ci didn't respond, but Han Chu couldn't believe it.Is Mr. Yun's status so noble?Han Chu didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky, whether he should cry or laugh.

But at this moment, Yunci was sitting on the thousand-year-old agarwood chair, with half of his body hidden behind the desk, his majestic and indifferent appearance was quite different from what Han Chu had usually seen.

Yun Ci looked at the father and son of the Ming family who were terrified in front of them, tapped the table with his right index finger, and did not express his opinion immediately.After a long time, he suddenly laughed lightly: "Your Majesty Ming came here before serving tea, I'm really rude." After saying that, he looked at Han Chu, and said in a low voice, "Come out and serve tea."

Hanchu didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly went out to make tea.

Seeing that Han Chu's figure had walked out of the side hall, Yun Cicai said slowly again: "I don't know what's the matter, but it's just a misunderstanding, why do you have to ask Mr. Ming to come to the door in person?"

Ming Cheng was even more disturbed when he heard this.In his opinion, Ruo Ruoyunci lost his temper at the moment, so it's okay to talk about it; but the other party treats him so politely, and deliberately shows majesty and alienation during the courtesy, which is really troublesome.

It's just that at this juncture, Ming Cheng didn't dare to speculate too much, so he had to apologize again: "The old minister has no way to teach his son, I am really ashamed."

Yun Ci still smiled: "I heard that your mansion has lost a maid who is extremely beautiful and good at playing the piano and playing the piano. I don't know why, the second son of Ming Dynasty will search for Hongyuan? You must know that this is the private residence of Lord Shen Xiaohou."

"This... old minister..."

"Lord Ming." Yun Ci stopped him without giving him a chance to speak, "Let Master Ling answer."

This was said so bluntly that Ming Cheng had no choice but to keep silent.

Ming Cui was already full of regrets at this moment, stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's all a misunderstanding, if I knew His Highness was here, the villain would definitely not..."

"Oh? Could it be that Marquis Wenchang's private house can be broken into at will?" Yun Ci cut off Ming Cui's words and asked coldly.

Frightened by the questioning, Ming Cui shuddered, and quickly explained: "No, it's not. The villain and Young Lord Shen have always been on good terms, so how could he be so rude. I just drank wine today, and listened to the conversation around me. It's because of the tricks of the little things that I did such a bastard thing..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Han Chu had already returned to the study with a tray, serving tea to the father and son of the Ming family one by one, and finally returned to Yun Ci, putting down a cup of flowers to clear the dew.

Yunci took a sip from the teacup, and said to the father and son of the Ming family: "According to what Mr. Ming said, the maidservants lost in your mansion are extremely beautiful and good at playing the piano. Speaking of which, I have one here, who happens to be a gift from Lord Shen. If you want to hear the rumors that Second Young Master Lai Ming heard, it is undoubtedly about her."

Yun Ci paused for a moment, then continued: "Today, while Lord Ming is also present, I would like to ask Second Young Master to recognize the lost maid in your house, but the woman standing in front of you?"

At this moment, Ming Cui still dared to look up, and quickly said: "No, no, it was indeed a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstood?" Ming Cui only heard Yun Ci's smirk coming from the top of his head, with a bit of doubt, "Second Young Master, let's take a closer look, so as not to worry about it in the future."

When Han Chu heard this, he was already very nervous.If she was really recognized by Ming Cui... Thinking of the possible consequences, she had no choice but to look at Yun Ci and call for help silently.

Ke Yunci just stared at Ming Cui, and said faintly, "Second Young Master, it's easy to identify."

As soon as Yun Ci said this, Han Chu immediately felt a gaze cast towards him, and then quickly retracted it.

That gaze came from Ming Cui.Hearing Yun Ci's words, he raised his head and glanced slightly.But under the light, there was a woman standing beside Yunci, her whole body exuding a smudged luster.Both of them were dressed in white, they were otherworldly and refined, as if... a couple of gods and immortals?
Don't say that today Hanchu doesn't wear makeup and her face is plain, she is no longer the same as the pink and red lips in Zuihualou.Even if the person in front of her is the same person as the beauty in her memory, how could Ming Cui dare to say anything more now?
He looked at it for a while, but did not identify it carefully, and lowered his eyes and replied respectfully: "It is the villain who believed the rumors and admitted the wrong person. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Second Young Master, did you watch carefully?" Yun Ci asked again, this time in a much gentler tone.

"Look carefully." Ming Cui replied without hesitation.

"In that case, you two should go back." Yun Ci Youyou said, "Today's matter is a misunderstanding, I will not take it to heart. But this time I am visiting friends in Beijing secretly, I don't want to disturb the Holy Majesty, and I hope that Master Ming will understand .”

"It's natural." Ming Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "The veteran will not disturb His Highness's purity, so I will resign. You are in Jingzhou but you have an order, and the veteran will obey you."

"There must be everything..." Yun Ci seemed to have heard something ridiculous, "My Yun family is not struggling in Jingzhou."

Ming Cheng hurriedly pleaded guilty: "It's the old minister's slip of the tongue."

Yunci took advantage of the situation and issued an order to evict guests: "Master Ming is the right minister of Nanxi, and he is busy with government affairs. It is not easy to get away today. I will not see you off."

Ming Cheng and Ming Cui resigned.

"Wait a minute, my lord." Just as the father and son of the Ming family stepped out of the study, Yun Ci suddenly said again, "Since the maid in your mansion has escaped, she must have no intention of serving her after she is captured. My lord came here today because of this misunderstanding. I also want to ask for favors for her, but I don't know what my lord would like?"

"You have to forgive others and forgive others. His Royal Highness is kind-hearted, and the old minister is educated."

On the other side, as soon as the father and son of the Ming family left, on this side, Han Chu felt even more uncomfortable.

The person in front of me had known his surname Yun, and known that he was from Fangzhou, but seeing his easy-going and simple manner, Han Chu never dared to guess his real identity.He even deluded himself into thinking that perhaps Mr. Yun was just a side branch of the Yun family.

It turns out that such a gentle and modest gentleman, who suffers from leg problems, is actually the master of Lixinhou's Mansion.

Today, even the right minister of the court is shocked by it, which is completely different from the Mr. Yun in Han Chu's impression.She also saw Yun Ci's majesty and coldness as a child of the aristocratic family.

But now, the ones she fears the most and avoids the most are also the children of the aristocratic family.Hanchu knew in his heart that the master-servant relationship between himself and Mr. Yun was really over.

"Out of Xiu?" Seeing that she had been in a daze for a while, Yun Ci called out, "Did you scare you just now?"

Hanchu came back to his senses, and wrote with a pen: "I don't know that you are His Royal Highness, so there were many rude things in the past."

Looking at the words "His Royal Highness" on the paper, Yunci felt that it was extremely glaring, which made his heart ache: "You really don't have to be like this... I have never revealed my identity for this reason, and I don't want you and me to be born." separated."

Yun Ci raised her head to look at Han Chu who was standing beside the desk, the sunlight reflected on her face through the window, making her transparent.His complexion is so fair, with peaches and plums reddish, which reminds him of the peony flowers with "smoky glass leaves, wind and coral flowers".

It is indeed extremely beautiful, before meeting her, he did not know that there really are women in this world who are comparable to Huajiao, Huayan, and Huaqing.It's just that this peony flower bloomed in the wrong place after all, and he was about to leave, so he could no longer take care of her.

The sadness in his heart overwhelmed the regret that he was about to leave, Yunci asked in silence for a moment, "What are your plans for the future?"

Han Chu shook his head.

"Why don't I tell Zifeng to let you leave?" Yun Ci thought about testing.

Han Chu shook his head again.

Do you not want to leave here, or do you not want to leave Shen Yu?Yun Ci frowned slightly, with an inexplicable feeling in his heart: "Why?"

"Young Master is kind to me." Han Chu wrote.

Seeing the words, Yun Ci didn't say a word, and after a while, he took out a beautifully bound box from the desk drawer, and said, "I thought I'd give it to you later...Since I remembered it today, there's no need to delay any longer."

Inside the box is a set of excellent four treasures of the study: Langhaohu pen, Songyan Hui ink, sandalwood paper, and Zijin Duan inkstone.

Even if Han Chu didn't have the eyesight to see, he could tell that this was a set of four treasures of the study specially for the daughters in the boudoir.Ingenious workmanship, exquisite carving, exquisite materials and exquisite binding.

The carving on the inkstone is peony.The golden stamens are full of silk, and the carvings are realistic.Han Chu has always been not fond of this kind of flower, just because He Lianqi once said before that "the other name of peony is 'Jiangli', which is not very auspicious".

Unexpectedly, the carved flower that Yunci gave as a gift today was actually a peony. "Jianli" really fits the situation perfectly, and it became a prophecy.

Thinking about it, Han Chu only felt the tip of his nose sore, and he endured it for a while before saluting and thanking him, and took this set of four treasures of the study from Yun Ci.

The fingertips of the two intertwined in an instant, appearing extremely pious and solemn, but it was like two raging fires that burned each other at the same time, causing them to close their hands quickly at the same time.

Hanchu took the heavy box and caressed it with bare hands, only to find that there were four words engraved on the box: "Deeds speak louder than words".

Thin gold font, with excellent style, looks very familiar and friendly.Hanchu didn't know that these four words were a few words, but at least for her, a woman who lost her voice, this was indeed the best encouragement, and it was also her true state of mind when she was practicing calligraphy.

It's just that he never thought that this precious thought was actually a parting gift from Mr. Yun.Hanchu likes it very much, and can't put it down, but in this liking, there is a special taste——Yunshi, like the clouds in the sky, can only be expected but not within reach.

At the same time, Yun Ci was also looking at Han Chu, and he was very relieved to see that she liked the gift.He didn't intend to tell her that this set of four treasures of the study was tailor-made for her, and he ordered someone to find the best materials, which took a whole month.

The carved patterns were drawn by himself, and the binding was also seen by him, and the words "actions speak louder than words" were carved by himself.Looking at the two countries in the north and the south, there is only one set of four treasures of the study, and there is no other in the world.

The scene of Shen Qin in memory resurfaced in Yunci's mind.That resolute woman's face once turned into a soft smile in this study, but today, her face overlapped with that night again.

Yun Ci understands that Han Chu is actually very stubborn in her bones, if anything touches the siege in her heart, she will choose to close the door of her heart without hesitation.And he was about to leave, and there was nothing he could do—precisely at this moment.

Yun Ci's slender and pale fingers immediately received the case, and began to tap on the table lightly. Han Chu realized that this was a sign that he was thinking about something.She quietly waited for Yun Ci's instructions, and only waited for a long time: "Go down."

Screen quits without any explanation.

Hanchu pursed his lips tightly, leaned over to leave with the gift box in his arms.The tip of her nose suddenly felt sore, and the Four Treasures of the Study in her hand became extremely heavy, as heavy as a hand.She really wanted to express her gratitude to Yun Ci, but in the end she just paused and walked towards the door.

Looking at the slender and beautiful back, Yun Ci was dumbfounded by the parting atmosphere, and his mood became chaotic.It's as if there is a silent guqin in my heart, and the strings are plucked by someone who doesn't know the rhythm, and it is so noisy that I feel flustered.

He has never been so eager to have a pair of plain hands who understand the piano and the sound, so as to smooth the chaotic strings in his heart.Such a plain hand, such a woman, in fact, is far away in the sky and close in front of me.

"Chuxiu." The moment the girl stepped out of the study, Yunci finally blurted out, "If you want, I can take you back to Fangzhou."
