Concubine like a house

Chapter 35
How can Chuxiu answer this sentence on behalf of Yunci?Wei Wei said: "He is the Marquis of Li Xin, so he has his responsibility. When the wedding date was set, he didn't know that I was pregnant."

Shen Yu sneered again, and looked at Chuxiu with great distress: "Your body hasn't recovered, so you can't go out for a while."

"Thank you, Young Master, for your concern." Chu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to ask him how many days he would stay here, when Shen Yu suddenly changed the subject: "Do you still have the dagger I gave you?"

"Yes." This question was finally able to make Chuxiu answer as usual, she hurriedly took the extraordinarily gorgeous cold thing from under the pillow, and put it in front of Shen Yu: "Put it under the pillow every night, and only need to burn incense to offer it. "

Shen Yu reached out to take the dagger, sighing for a moment.He carefully caressed the word "deep" carved on it, and then asked Xiu: "Hanchu, do you remember what I said when I gave you the dagger?"

"Which sentence are you referring to?" Chuxiu thought for a moment, puzzled.

Hearing this, Shen Yu sighed softly, with an expression of "already expected".He pondered for a moment, then took out another dagger from his sleeve, slowly put the two together as a pair, put them on the table, and said: "I said before, if you are willing to come back, this dagger is a token."

Under the flickering blue candlelight, there are two hard and cold objects lying quietly, with gilded carvings and cold tentacles. One is inlaid with red gemstones and the other is inlaid with green gemstones. They are indescribably small and exquisite.Now that these two daggers are placed together, it is only after Chuxiu that they can see that there are mandarin ducks carved on the scabbard of the daggers, and these two precious stones are the eyes of the two mandarin ducks.

In the past, she only thought that He Lianqi broke her heart, but she didn't know the meaning of Shen Yu's words.But now, after talking with Yunci, there is this pair of mandarin ducks and daggers in front of his eyes. The word "love" and the word "deep" make people invisible.No matter how stupid Chuxiu was, he already understood Shen Yu's meaning.

"Young Master..." She opened her eyes wide in disbelief, her face was full of shock, "Are you... making fun of me?"

"What have you become? I still picked this time to make fun of you?" Shen Yu replied in a deep voice, without any hint of obscenity, "Or do you think that I took the risk of offending Ming to hide you in the pursuit?" Hong Yuan, is it just lust?"

Chuxiu pursed her lips, stared blankly at the pair of daggers, not knowing how to respond.

"It's only my fault..." Before Shen Yu finished speaking, he sighed again, "Forget it...you left with me in October last year, and now it's September. I've thought a lot about it this year. ...I originally planned to come here and tell you my thoughts in a serious way, but now I am given a chance. Chuxiu, he doesn't cherish you, I..."

"Young Lord." Chuxiu was stabbed in the eyes by the red and green gemstone on the dagger, and said with a look of dodge, "I am an unclean body...not worth it."

"Is it worth it, or is it unwilling?" Shen Yu asked bluntly.

This time, Chuxiu didn't answer directly, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "First of all, it doesn't matter whether I want to... If you two have been friends for more than ten years, if you really ask me to go back... How can this friendship continue?"

As he came out of Xiuxiu, he sighed: "At the beginning, Lord Hou asked me for me, only as your maidservant, and you never refused... If I was just serving pen and ink by his side, that would be fine, but now I have a relationship with him. Can you still open your mouth after a skin-to-skin kiss?"

"Han Chu..." Shen Yu only murmured the name with a complicated expression, as if he was deliberating.

Hearing the word "Hanchu" again, Chuxiu suddenly felt like a world away.She turned to look at the window curtain, and laughed at herself: "It is said that 'a friend's wife should not be deceived', I dare not claim to be his wife, but up to now, he can only give it to you, and you cannot take it back. You should understand better than me.”

"After all, you don't want to leave him, do you?"

"Yes." Chuxiu said firmly.

Shen Yu could only smile wryly: "I originally wanted to say you were stupid... I don't know who is more stupid now."

Hearing this, Chuxiu comforted me: "You feel pity for me, and you were fascinated by ghosts for a while. If you really open your mouth, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future."

"Really?" Shen Yuyou asked back, but her answer was no longer needed.

The autumn wind in September slowly blows open the corner of the window curtain, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.Shen Yu practiced martial arts and had keen ears, so he immediately frowned and said, "I'll go out first, so I can't ruin your reputation."

His voice fell, and before he could move, there was already a voice outside the house: "Come out of Xiu." He was still calm.

Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Chuxiu and asked, "Did I lose my temper with Danxin just now?"

"You just know?" Chuxiu smiled and walked over to pull the latch.After seeing the person standing outside the door, it was too late to take back that alluring smile, and it stiffened to the lips.

Danxin was still standing in front of the door, but behind her were Zhuying and... Yunci.

In an instant, Chuxiu's eye sockets felt sore and swollen, and he could only stare fixedly at the person standing in the courtyard.I don't know what kind of medicine was used, but Yunci was standing with his hands on his back, tall and handsome.The night wind gradually blew the lower corners of his clothes, and the dark red brocade robe embroidered with gold and auspicious clouds was luxuriously fitted.

Since we met for a year, this is the first time that Chuxiu has seen Yunci wearing a different color.The white-clothed banished fairy from before seemed to be a different person, and the bridegroom's happy attire set off a bit of fireworks.He really looks like a young nobleman.

I have to say, this dress... Yun Ci looks good in it.Chuxiu was a little afraid to look at his expression, let alone guess why he came here on the wedding night without even changing his clothes.She could only move the corners of her lips, pull back the remaining smile, and salute respectfully: "Congratulations, Lord Marquis."

There was a soft answer from the opposite side, only one word "um", no sadness or joy could be discerned.

Chuxiu still lowered her head and looked down, seeing a pair of expensive soap boots embroidered with auspicious patterns appearing in front of her eyes, she only paused in front of her for a moment, and then walked steadily into the house, blowing a slight smell of alcohol.

Those who used to only drink the clear dew in Huajian will inevitably drink wine tonight.

"Why is Zifeng here?" Yunci asked a question to interrupt Chuxiu's thoughts at the right time, his voice was sober, "I just wanted to catch you to replace the wine during the banquet, but I couldn't find anyone after searching for a long time, so you sneaked out .”

Shen Yu smiled and did not speak, obviously still a little emotional.

Chuxiu heard it in his ears, and welcomed Danxin and Zhuying into the door, and asked with a smile, "Are you gone?"

"No, Lord Hou pushed to sober up." Zhu Ying replied.

Chuxiu didn't make another sound, and closed the door with low eyebrows.

At this time, Yunci had already seen a pair of gorgeous daggers on the table, and frowned: "This is..."

"This is what I gave to Han..."

"This is a wedding gift from the young master in private." Chuxiu hurriedly interrupted Shen Yu, and hurriedly said behind Yunci, "The young master heard that my throat disease was cured, so he came here to visit me specially. Stop, then shake out these daggers and show them off in front of me."

"Really?" Yun Ci asked with his head turned slightly, but he didn't look back, and then looked at Shen Yu across the table.

Shen Yu glanced at Chuxiu, almost gritted his teeth and put on a handsome smile: "Yes! Let Chuxiu taste it first."

Candles flickered in Yun Ci's clear eyes, and he said unintentionally: "Didn't the Marquis of Wenchang send a congratulatory gift? You've put in so much effort to make this ingenious thing...it seems like your style."

Shen Yu forced a smile back: "It's just a wish, as long as you like it."

Hearing this, Yun Cishi caressed the engravings on a pair of daggers, slid his thumb across the two red and green gemstones one by one, and finally smiled faintly: "That's the case, but it's disrespectful." He put the daggers into his sleeves.

Yun Ci also didn't intend to stay for a long time, and greeted Shen Yu again: "Let's go, if you don't save the situation, I will die."

Shen Yuqian agreed with a smile, and the two walked out the door together.

When walking in front of Xiuxiu again, Yun Ci's footsteps were still steady.From the beginning to the end, the intersection between the two tonight ended here.

Shen Yu has always had a good capacity for alcohol, but this night, he was almost drunk, and he didn't know how much he had held back for Yun Ci.In the end, as a master, Qu Fang couldn't stand it any longer, so he made hangover soup, and sent someone to help him to the wing room.

With a slight smile on Yun Ci's lips, he watched the guests leave one by one.His face seemed to be full of drunkenness, but upon closer inspection, it was clear again.

The inside of Zhiyan Pavilion is all red, red silk curtains, red lanterns, branches, flowers and plants are all tied with red strings, the door curtain is also a hundred happy pictures, and the windows of the new house are pasted with several "happy" characters, as if It can quench the night with a layer of red light and go to the sky.Yunci walked slowly into Zhiyanxuan, and was dazzled by the red in his eyes.

Inside the wedding room, dragon and phoenix red candles are burning brightly.Xi Niang and the maids stood in a row, and the voices of congratulations were endless.Changing clothes, extinguishing candles, untying red knots... Yun Ci was willing to approach the bed only when there was finally a new couple left in the room.

The bed was covered with red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds, which means "to give birth to a precious child early", but who knows, he just lost a child?Only the bride was sitting quietly by the bed, looking extremely gentle and demure, she was indeed a lady from a famous family.

Yun Ci suppressed his emotions, picked up the golden pick to lift the bride's hijab, and the delicate and delicate face that caught his eyes made him stunned for a moment.Who is this stunning woman with exquisite makeup?Is it her?Why did she ever wear rouge?She should not have applied makeup.

But that shyness is exactly the same, the clear eyes are full of waves, only a tear mole at the corner of the eye...

"Brother Wan." The bride slowly raised her eyes, her red lips pursed into a smile, and brought Yun Ci's thoughts back in time.The woman who is eighty percent similar in front of me is another person.If it is true, he has known her longer and is more familiar with her.

"Pin Yan." He is still used to calling Xia Yanran in small characters.

Just this one call is enough to make Xia Yanran's face crimson.She looked at him with those eyes full of autumn water: "Brother Wan, still remember the bet we made seven years ago?"

"Remember." Yun Ci stood beside the bed, looking down at her.

"I didn't expect that I was just joking, and you took it seriously when I wanted to change the name of this garden." Xia Yanran covered her lips with a smile, "I just found out today that this garden has been renamed 'Zhiyanxuan'..." She This sentence has the meaning of refusal and welcome, as if expecting some response.

Yun Ci's thin lips were tightly pursed, without a smile on his face: "I would like to accept the bet. Since I lost to you at the beginning, I naturally have to change my name as promised." He didn't intend to get entangled in these details, turned around and picked up the wine on the table, and handed it over to you. After drinking a cup in Xia Yanran's hands, she was silently invited.

Xia Yanran knew what it meant, she took it with her bare hands and exchanged cups with her, her complexion turned even redder.

A pair of dragon, phoenix and red candles are indistinct, and they have been blown out at some point.But tonight, someone is destined to toss and turn without sleep...
