Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 262 Good News

As the end of the year approaches, the sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time, but they are intermittent and cannot be connected into pieces. It must be someone's child who is fond of playing and lights up behind the back of the adults.

It was dark and early, the cold wind was blowing, and there were snowflakes in the sky. There were not many pedestrians on the street.Chen Yun was riding a horse, followed by Bai E, and was still wandering in the street.

Bai E was honest, but he also thought it was cold, so he shrunk his neck and sleeved his hands, and asked in a muffled voice: "Master Liu, where are we going? Why don't we go to a restaurant for a rest?"

Early in the morning, Liu Ye threw away his books and came out. Bai Shu was not there, so the errand with Liu Ye was naturally Bai E's.Fortunately, he was familiar with Chen Yunzheng's temperament. Although he couldn't satisfy Chen Yunzheng everywhere, he was hardworking and hardworking, so he couldn't fault him.

But after walking around for a whole day, he just ran to the north of the city with Liu Ye, didn't see anything, and rushed back without stopping.

The north of the city is desolate, and there are not many serious restaurants. Chen Yunzheng was on a whim, and he didn't inform him in advance. A few steamed buns make dry food.It was freezing cold, and there wasn't even a mouthful of hot water. Although Chen Yunzheng wasn't picky, he obviously didn't have an appetite, so he managed to take two bites.

I hadn't eaten this day, and when I came back in the evening, Liu Ye looked sullen again, as if he didn't intend to go home, so Bai E thought it would be better to find a restaurant, at least it was a little hot, and it would be good to fill up some hot food.

Chen Yunzheng snorted noncommittally, and didn't know whether he agreed or disagreed, but judging from his unrelenting speed, it was obvious that he didn't take it into his heart at all.

Bai E sighed, and muttered: "This is the same with Baishu. You are still at home, how can he dare to say that he is busier than you? After all these days, he is not at home anymore?"

It's not that he wants to complain, it's really about taking care of Liu Ye and understanding Liu Ye's mind, Bai E is willing to bow down to Bai Shu, and he is quite ashamed of himself.As long as he is there, Liu Ye will definitely be able to eat and clothe warmly, even if he dare not persuade him explicitly, he can still coax him to feel at ease.

Unlike myself, he can't speak, and dare not say, his thoughts are spinning in his heart, his chest is burning hot, but he just can't speak, just a few words over and over again, dry, even himself I feel really bored, let alone Liu Ye?

Bai E wondered in his heart that Liu Ye's going to the north of the city must not be aimless, probably because he wanted to see Miss Su.But I went all the way, why did I come back without even taking a photo?
Even if you don't see it, you can take a look from a distance.

But Liu Ye deliberately avoided Zhuangzi where Miss Su lived.

Bai E didn't know what it means to be timid because of being close to the hometown, and he didn't understand the kind of heart-scratching thoughts that the more he misses, the less he dares to meet. He was just anxious for Chen Yun, and when he was anxious, he spit out his complaints about Baishu.

Chen Yunzheng replied in a funny way: "Why, you don't want to come out with Master?"

Bai E shook his head like a rattle drum, anxious to defend himself, but he could only say: "No." He wanted to say that he couldn't take care of Liu Ye, but he felt that his thoughts were as shallow as a brook, and he was originally a human being. Trash, you still have to say it, isn't it more trash?

Chen Yunzheng would not deliberately misinterpret his meaning, he just sighed and said: "Don't count on Bai Shu, if you are smarter, just do your own thing well, he won't come back."

"Ah? If he doesn't come back, where is he going?" Bai E scratched his head and asked Chen Yunzheng.He was full of doubts, what did Liu Ye mean by speaking in such a regretful tone?I didn't hear that Bai Shu did something to offend Liu Ye, so why was he dismissed?It's still so serious that he doesn't even give him a chance to make up for his mistakes, so he won't be able to see her for the rest of his life?
Bai E was impatient, pulled the horse to grab a few steps, and said to Chen Yunzheng: "Master, Bai Shu, he is wrong, but he has been with the sixth master for so long, there is hard work without credit, you are just thinking about the old friendship, this big The younger ones should be kind enough to let him come back."

Chen Yunzheng didn't have the intention to tease Bai E, so he put on a straight face, ignored Bai E, and only sighed quietly in his heart.

Bai E saw that Chen Yunzheng's face was not looking very good, so he didn't dare to talk any more, he just murmured: "Well, then later..." After a long time, he didn't say anything about it.

From now on, let's wait until Master Liu's anger subsides before bringing up the matter of Bai Shu.How much face can I have in front of Liu Ye?It's not as good as Bai Shu, if Bai Shu can't make Liu Ye feel a little compassion, how can I change Liu Ye's decision?
Bai E followed Chen Yunzheng listlessly, his heart was empty, he didn't know what to think about, even though he had a lot of thoughts, he had no direction, no result, on the contrary, he had nothing to think about.

He remained silent, and no one brought up the suggestion of going to the restaurant just now, and the two rode back to Chen's mansion after all.

There was a guard standing at the door, watching from a distance that Chen Yunzheng was coming back, he hurriedly went up to greet him: "Master Liu is back? The master and wife have asked you several times and asked you to come over for the New Year's Eve dinner."

Although Chen Yunzheng's leg was healed, getting on and off the horse still pulled the wound, and the pain was excruciating.Although he didn't care about not wanting to say anything, he still frowned.

Seeing that his whole body was exuding air-conditioning, and his handsome face was covered with dark clouds, the boy thought that what he said had annoyed Liu Ye, so he didn't dare to speak any more.He also complained in his heart. On the New Year's Eve, the whole family should reunite and have a lively New Year's Eve dinner. Don't say that others are soft-spoken. He can only follow the orders of the master and wife, that is, to be loyal to the sixth master. I can't help but say it.

Bai E hurriedly dismounted to help Chen Yunzheng, and persuaded honestly: "Sixth Master, at any rate, today is New Year's Eve, and it's the first year for the master and wife to celebrate the New Year here, so you have to go there anyway."

Chen Yunzheng didn't understand this truth, but it was one thing to understand it intellectually, but another to reject it emotionally.Thinking about last year, Manman was still by his side, and the couple would not hesitate to act out a scene where husband and wife turned against each other in order to have a stable life in the future, so what happened?

No matter how much the family pretended to be harmonious and beautiful, the elder brothers and sons would quarrel, and the sisters-in-law would make insinuations and plot against each other, which was chilling.

This year is even more so. He doesn't want to see Wen's, and he thinks how desolate it would be for Manman to spend the New Year alone with Brother Jun in the Zhuangzi in the north of the city, but he doesn't want to cause trouble for her. , I can't even do anything willful.

But Bai E, an honest man, told the truth, which made him happy.Just to be honest, what he said was true, and he was not afraid that his words would fall into the ears of the old man and his wife, who would find a wrong place to peel off his skin.

Chen Yunzheng sneered and said: "Anyway, it's a trick, you just run for me, just say it."

Someone else would definitely not do such a thankless thing, but Bai E didn't think too much about it, and didn't think that Chen Yun was playing tricks on him at all, so he readily agreed.

Chen Yunzheng lazily reminded him that he was afraid that if he went in alive and kicked, he would be thrown out in disgrace later, and he walked out of the study at a leisurely pace.Unexpectedly, a person trotted out to greet him, and shouted from afar: "Master Liu, I wish you New Year's greetings, good news, great news!"

Bai E heard the voice familiar, squinted his eyes in the dark night, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock: "Bai Zhu? You, you, aren't you, aren't you coming back? You, you, why are you back?" As he said that, he looked at Chen Yunzheng worriedly, fearing that Bai Shu would come back privately, and the sixth master was so angry that he beat Bai Shu to death in a fit of anger.

Chen Yun shot Bai E angrily, and said, "Can I eat people? You're so stupid." Then he looked at Bai Shu: "What good news? Why don't you just stay in Zhuangzi and come back? "

Bai Shu saluted, stood up with a smile on her face, and skillfully supported Chen Yunzheng to go forward, saying: "Miss Su sent the little one back. Firstly, she has good news to tell the master, and secondly, Miss Su made it for the master herself. The little snacks, and said that I would let the little one go back after the new year, and I also took this time to ask the master what ideas he had, so he could help with the details."

After Bai Shu came back, the atmosphere suddenly became lively. Chen Yunzheng really wanted to know what snacks Manman brought him, and was anxious about what good news Bai Shu brought back, but he was still in the yard, and there were servants walking around from time to time, He suppressed his curiosity, and told Bai Shu, "You came all the way here, you must have not eaten yet, first tell the kitchen to prepare hot water and hot rice, the three of us will talk while eating."

Bai Shu smiled and said: "The little one came back fifteen minutes earlier than the master, and has ordered the kitchen to make preparations, but there is no rush, the master has been out for a day, it is better to go to the inner courtyard to say hello to the master and wife."

The three masters and servants entered the study room while they were talking, Bai Shu rolled up his sleeves and poured hot water, Chen Yunzheng cleaned his face, washed his hands, and changed his clothes, a little girl brought tea here.Chen Yunzheng asked Bai Shu: "What good news?"

Bai Shu also finished grooming, and stood directly opposite Chen Yun, with a happy expression on her face, and said, "Master, Miss Su really dug out the hot spring."

Chen Yunzheng was still calm, but the look in his eyes suddenly brightened dozens of times. He nodded and said, "Okay. Who knows this news now?"

Bai Shu said: "Miss Su didn't deliberately block the news, presumably in a few days, it will spread all over the capital. Lord, you don't know, this hot spring is really strange, in such a cold day, the water is naturally warm, regardless of the outside No matter how cold it is, the temperature of the water will not change. Miss Su said that frequent hot springs can cure diseases and strengthen the body.”

Bai Shu danced and danced, and told Chen Yunzheng about the process of digging hot springs: "Miss Su said that she plans to build a hot spring villa, which will be put into operation next winter, and then it will be publicized so that the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing will be proud of soaking in hot springs... ...But things are rare and expensive, if everyone knows the benefits of this hot spring and rushes to the north of the city to dig hot springs, I'm afraid there will be a mess."

Chen Yun pressed the teacup with his hands, and listened intently.But Xin can't wait to fly to Manman's side immediately and share this joy with her.
