Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 172
After this incident, everyone in the room jumped, and Manman was the first to stand up and rush over, grabbing Chen Yunzheng's sleeve, and said distressedly and worriedly: "Speaking bluntly, where are you hot? How grown-up, you still walk so recklessly, talk when you want to talk, what are you doing right here? Let me see where it got hot?"

Chen Yunzheng frowned, moaned twice in pain, looked at Manman pitifully and said: "I know you are afraid of suffering from taking medicine, so I went to the street and bought your favorite candied fruit. I can't make it in time, I saw you drinking medicine as soon as I entered the door, so I was anxious, so I didn't care about other things..."

Manman felt distressed, rolled up his sleeves to see his hands.

Chen Yunzheng snorted twice, hiding from her to see, and said apologetically with a bitter face: "It's all my fault, I spilled all your medicine, mother should scold me for being ignorant and wasteful if she finds out. something."

Manman persuaded him: "Things are valuable, but people are valuable? At worst, let's cook another bowl."

As soon as the two sang together, the others were startled and surprised. Finally, they were sure that they were all right. The girl in Mrs. Chen's room saw the blessing and said, "It's a great luck that the sixth master is all right. I'm going to ask Mama Rong to stay here again." Here comes a bowl of medicine."

Chen Yunzheng smiled and bowed again and again: "I'm sorry for my sister, please don't mention it in front of my wife, otherwise I won't be able to run away if I beat you up. My sister just thinks that she loves me, and I will burn incense for her later. .”

Jian Fu covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Liu Ye is used to making jokes about slaves, but it's just a matter of raising a finger, and it's just a couple of extra trips, so it's not worth Liu Ye's burning incense. In front of Madam, slaves will excuse Liu Ye, My wife will only feel sorry for Liu Ye more, and I will definitely not reprimand you."

Coaxing Jianfu to be happy, Chen Yunzheng ordered Si Ling and Si Long to send Jianfu out.

Everyone retreated, Manman sat down, the nervousness and worry just now disappeared from her cold face, she stared at Chen Yunzheng calmly, and asked, "Do you have something to hide from me?"

Chen Yunzheng categorically denied it: "No." He also sat down, reached out and took out the candied fruit in the bag, and handed it to Manman like a treasure: "Try it, this is plum meat, which is moderately sweet and sour, and not greasy. , just to moisten the mouth."

Manman wanted to knock off his hand, but seeing him walking away in a hurry, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and his heart softened again. He took the small paper bag in his hand, opened it and picked up a piece, holding it in front of his eyes. I looked at it and put it in my mouth.

Sure enough, sweet and sour, very refreshing.

The stove in the house was crackling, and Manman used the tongs to flip the chestnuts on the grate.The fire is strong, and the chestnuts have been placed for some time, and a faint fragrance can be heard here.

Chen Yunzheng was sitting beside Manman, holding his chin, watching Manman's movements eagerly.

Manman saw that he was a cute and well-behaved puppy, as if if you threw him a chestnut, he would jump up and pick it up, and then wagged his tail to please him, so he couldn't help laughing and asked, "Want to eat?"

Chen Yunzheng woke up with a groan, and said, "Huh?" Then he denied it: "I'm not a child, nor are you girls, so I don't like to eat such odd things."

He just felt that staying with Manman, even if he didn't do anything, he felt peaceful.It is also a beautiful picture to see her slender hands holding the gray iron pokers dexterously, which has a special dynamic beauty like her catkins dancing on the strings.

Manman gave him a reproachful look and said, "Then what are you doing here so stupidly?"

Chen Yunzheng coughed and said, "Where should I go if I don't stay here? It's boring to blame anywhere. The brothers have all married, and it's approaching the end of the year. They are all staying at home to spend the New Year with their wives and children."

Manman felt sorry for him, and was afraid that he would get sick, so she advised him: "It's really boring to be bored at home, why don't I go out with you?"

Chen Yunzheng immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, the plum blossoms are all in bloom. Let's go pick a few and put them in the room. Once the heating is on, the plum blossom fragrance will come out. It's very elegant."

Manman hesitated again: "I haven't taken the medicine yet."

Chen Yunzheng ignored this, took Manman's hand and said, "You don't want to drink, it doesn't matter anyway, it won't be too late for us to pick plum blossoms and come back to drink."

Chen Yunzheng pulled Manman and walked out, opened the door and was blown by the cold wind, chilling his neck.Manman couldn't take it anymore, she sneezed, Chen Yun closed the door again with a bang, took out the fox fur cloak for Manman, put it on with her own hands, fastened the belt, and went from top to bottom. He sized Manman down, landed on her feet, bent down and said, "Take off your shoes."

"What are you doing?" Manman was pushed hard by him and couldn't stand stably, so he had to support him with his shoulders and lift his feet. He had already taken off Manman's embroidered shoes neatly, and put his hand on Manman's. He made gestures on the soles of his feet, and said, "I remember I have a pair of buckskin boots, which are just right for you to wear."

When he said that, he hugged Manman by the waist and put him directly on the edge of the bed, and he went to rummage through the box by himself.

His clothes from back then were put away by Manman for him. Although it has been a few years, almost no one has touched the furnishings in Qiuyun Courtyard, so they should still be where they are.

Manman saw him rummaging around like a headless fly, throwing dust all over the room, and said dumbfoundedly: "Which pair of moccasin boots are they? I'll find them for you. If you search like this, you may not be able to find them." The Year of the Monkey will go away.”

Chen Yun was talking and making gestures, Manman thought about it and got up to look for it in the cabinet outside, but she found it without trouble.Chen Yun was brushing the dust off the leather boots, and said with a smile, "That's right." Then he knelt down to change Manman's shoes.

Manman shyly held him down and said, "Don't, I'll just do it myself. If the girls look down on me, I'll report it to my wife, and I won't be able to bear it anymore."

Chen Yun said without raising his head: "Mother is too much in charge, it's not bad..."

Manman's eye sockets were sore, she put her arms on Chen Yunzheng's shoulders, and said shyly, "You, why are you being so nice to me?"

Chen Yun was helping her put on the boots neatly, slowly stood up and stared at her face to face, and suddenly asked very seriously: "Manman, if one day you find out that I have cheated you, will you forgive me?"

Manman was stopped by the question, she thought for a while before asking: "Why did you lie to me?"

"Who knows, anyway, it must be for your own good." Chen Yunzheng gave a vague reason.

Manman tilted her head and said, "Then what are you hiding from me now?"

Chen Yun was pursing his lips tightly, and there was an extra layer of determination in his eyes. He defended, "Hiding the truth, I just didn't tell you for the time being, but it's not cheating."

Manman said decisively: "If you just kept it a secret, I might still forgive you, but if you lied to me, I will never forgive you. Chen Yunzheng, you are telling the truth, did you do something wrong?"

Chen Yunzheng's eyes were gloomy, he moved his eyes away, looked elsewhere, and half-truthfully said: "You are serious, and you will never forgive? Even if I have a reason to have to?" Manman is still young at this time, and she doesn't understand In life, husband and wife need tolerance when getting along, she only knows that what she hates the most in this life is betrayal.And deception already means deceit, coaxing, no matter what the excuse is, deception is already the beginning of the separation between two people.

She never believed in reunion after a broken mirror.

She only knows that life may not be too perfect, but once there is a rift in marriage or relationship, it will be difficult to make up, and she is not the kind of smart woman who is rarely confused. That person is good.So Manman said firmly: "Cheating means betrayal, regardless of the reason."

Chen Yunzheng laughed, turned his eyes away, and said to Manman: "You are so cruel!"

She has always been such a violent person. As long as she betrayed and was unfaithful, she sentenced someone to death without asking the reason, and did not give anyone a chance to repent.

When Manman was looked at by him, his heart turned cold, but he didn't feel that he was wrong, so he just snorted heavily: "After I have deceived you, you can use this to block me."

Chen Yunzheng's eyes were heavy, and it instantly looked like a cloudy and snowy winter day. It was gray and hard to see clearly. He said seriously: "No matter how you deceive me, I will forgive you."

Manman was like a needle being stabbed in her back, and said without thinking: "Have I ever deceived you? If I have such thoughts, I don't need your forgiveness, I will die of guilt first."

Chen Yunzheng was not in a hurry to drag Manman out to collect plums, and Manman also saw that he had something to say, so he simply sat down and waited.Chen Yunzheng smiled wryly, and said, "Manman, it's not that I'm trying to hide it from you, it's just that I'm in a dilemma, and I don't know how to make a choice."

Hearing this, Manman's heart trembled.The more choices, the more proof there is no way out.Chen Yun was in such a difficult situation, it could be seen that he and her had reached the limit of tolerance.

Manman smiled dryly and said, "Let's hear it? In short, no matter what you choose, I don't object."

Chen Yunzheng doesn't think it's such an honor. It's not that Manman regards her husband as the sky, but that no matter what choice he makes, Manman is the one who waits passively. When encountering difficulties, she doesn't fight side by side with him, but instead fights with him all the time. They were all preparing to run away.

Chen Yunzheng cleared his throat, and said, "Father told me that after the new year, I will go to Beijing to take the exam alone."

Master Chen's reaction was expected by Manman.She just wanted to know what moved Chen Yunzheng and made him change his mind who had vowed to be inseparable from her.

Chen Yunzheng's tone was cold and clear, like a trickle in summer, and like strings on a piano, clanging and gripping: "The exchange condition is that after three years, I will allow you to give birth to a son and a daughter."

Manman let out a low oh, she tightened her fingers, and didn't speak with a guilty conscience.Chen Yunzheng wanted a child who was justified with her, she understood and understood this feeling, and this was also her wish.In this day and age, identity and family background are very important, and she herself is already like this, but she can't let her child have no name or title.

This condition is also a great temptation for her.

But there is a huge risk behind the temptation. Sure enough, she heard Chen Yunzheng say: "So, mother added medicinal materials that are not easy to conceive in your soup..."
