Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 23

In the evening, after He Junhua came back, Liu Yuzhi immediately told him the "unfortunate" news of Chunxi's disfigurement.He Junhua was startled for a moment, and said, "What a coincidence?" Was it true that the firewood in the firewood house fell suddenly, and a sharp branch scratched Chunxi's face?

Hearing the doubts in her husband's words, Liu Yuzhi said coolly: "Chunxi is the dowry maid I brought here, she is useful to me, you think I don't want to give her to you, just to scratch her face? Or, You can send the boy to the firewood room to inquire." Only a stupid master would do it at such a time!

He Junhua laughed immediately, and said softly, "My wife, you think too much, how could I suspect that you did it?" He was born in a family of officials and officials, and he knew what the backyard was like.In the future, he will guard against Yuzhi's harm to Ziyan, and he doesn't think that Yuzhi will do anything to the dowry maid who does not touch her interests.

"I've asked the doctor to look at Chunxi's face." Liu Yuzhi said, with a virtuous look on his face.Chunxi paid six taels of silver for the medicine because of her face.

"What did the doctor say?" He Junhua asked concerned, hoping that he wouldn't be really disfigured.

Liu Yuzhi regretted: "The scars on her face will definitely remain, and they will be very obvious. The doctor also said that the imperial pharmacy in the palace may have an elixir for exfoliating dead skin and growing new skin." Smiling, she hurriedly said, "Why don't you ask the old lady to come into the palace and beg your concubine to give you a box for your favorite housemaid." Concubine Rong is He Yushi's sister-in-law and He Junhua's aunt.

He Junhua couldn't help laughing, "Ask your mother to give medicine to a servant girl? You really know how to joke." The girl of the He family was only a concubine in the palace, even if the old lady herself was injured on her face, she would not dare to enter the palace to ask for medicine.

Chun Li listened with her head down, sad that Chun Xi lost this opportunity, and also chilled by her son-in-law's indifference.

She once had the idea that if the young lady didn't give Chunxi away, she might give her to the uncle, but she was very self-aware. Her appearance was only considered to be above average, and the uncle would not like her too much. She was just a housemaid all her life, always serving the young lady .My uncle has a cold temperament, and in the morning he said that he would take Chunxi in advance as a roommate, using Chunxi's innocent body to dispel the rumors, and at night when he heard that Chunxi was disfigured, he didn't even ask a better doctor to take a look again.Chunxi, who has always been smart, must have been reluctant because she had already seen the nature of my uncle.It's a pity that both of them are dowry maids who have signed a contract of selling themselves to death, so they don't have any freedom.

"My lord, what we said this morning..." Liu Yuzhi asked.

"Wait a little longer." He Junhua said, he always had to look at Chunxi's injury and her subsequent recovery.Besides, apart from her beautiful face, Chun Xi also has a very graceful figure. When the lights are turned off at night... she's just a maid.

"It's still up to the adults to decide." Liu Yuzhi's rosy mouth curled into a slight smile.

"Yuzhi, you are in charge of Zi Yan's raising a concubine." He Junhua said, "This is the first internal matter you have handled in my He family. I hope you don't make mistakes."

"Don't worry, my lord." Liu Yuzhi said meekly and respectfully, "The Liuxiang Courtyard has all been prepared. One big maid, two second-class maids, and four daughters-in-law who have had childbearing experience have already moved into the courtyard, just wait Miss Ziyan comes in."

Since the former dynasty, there has been a formal ceremony for taking concubines.Concubinage first requires a matchmaker to make peace, and second, a concubine contract must be signed.The father-in-law and the mother-in-law will not come to celebrate in person when her husband takes a concubine. The three concubines of the father-in-law are not qualified to be invited by the eldest lady, and the three sisters-in-law are not suitable to participate in the concubine ceremony in the inner house. Only the sister-in-law, the second wife, and the grown-up brothers, the second son and the third son, were invited.

The couple talked for a while in the room, and Xueqing, the first-class maid outside, quietly walked in to inform Chunli.Chun Li immediately said: "Miss, Uncle, the dinner has been brought, you can eat now."

He Junhua nodded slightly, and walked out of the room first to the outside hall.Liu Yuzhi stretched out her hands to close her bun, stroked the gold and jade hairpin on the bun, and walked out of the room accompanied by Chunxi.

"Uncle, miss." Chun Xi, who was standing outside waiting for them to come out, immediately blessed herself.

He Junhua took a special look at her and found that she lowered her head slightly as usual.Because he was tall and she was short, he couldn't see her whole face as long as she lowered her head slightly.

"Eldest Young Master, Eldest Madam." The servant girl outside saw the Eldest Young Master and Eldest Madam come out, immediately saluted, and then took their places and began to set meals.

Chunxi waited for two second-class maids to bring hot water and towels, and immediately stepped forward to help.

He Junhua is the court official of your son, so naturally he couldn't look at Chunxi's face in full view, but it was a coincidence that Chunxi half turned around, and happened to face him with the injured right cheek.

He Junhua looked at Chunxi's face quickly and carefully, and found that there was a finger-long wound on her cheek. The wound was covered with a layer of black ointment, and the open wound could be seen faintly.He had only seen such a large wound on the faces and hands of some warriors. It seemed that after Chunxi's wound healed, it would leave an obvious scar.

Only half of her beautiful and tender face can be seen, and her red sleeves add fragrance...

He Junhua sighed a little in his heart, even if he wants to accept her as a housemaid on a whim in the future, he can only do nothing.

Liu Yuzhi has been paying attention to He Junhua's expression since he leaned out of the room, and immediately sees that he is not interested in Chunxi for the time being.
