Chapter 12 The girl is back

"Girl, you're back! We're all going to miss you so much." When Lu Chun saw Xu Chunjun, she chattered like a small mountain magpie, "Why is the girl so thin? Can't you eat well and sleep well there?"

"No, I'm just choosing a seat, I can't sleep well." Xu Chunjun looked at her and smiled.

"Don't be in a hurry to ask, let the girl have a sip of tea." Zi Ling brought the tea over, and she was careful when she saw the large and small wounds on Xu Chunjun's hands, and felt sad for a while.

The girls in their family never report good news but not bad news, Zi Ling knows this very well.

"Mrs. Hou Ye asked me to help her with some housework. There was a banquet in the house, and I was in a hurry for a few days." Xu Chunjun knew that if he didn't say anything, it would only make them more worried.

"This old hag is really abominable, actually using our girl to order her around! If she doesn't want to help, she can simply refuse, why is she playing tricks on people like this?" Lv Po became anxious when she heard that, "It's too much of a bully!"

"You must not say that, we are the ones asking for it," Xu Chunjun hurriedly stopped Lv Shu to say, "Since we are asking for someone, we have to let go of our dignity. You may agree or disagree with what someone asks, how can you say it the other way around? ?”

"Yes! I have to bow my head under the low eaves. The girl endured humiliation to save the second young master." Mother Cheng sighed and said, "Young lady must be very tired, let's rest first!"

Seeing that Xu Chunjun was in a trance, she guessed that something was on her mind.

But the girl just came back, so she had to take a breath before talking.So Mother Cheng came out with Lushi, leaving only Ziling in the house to wait on her.

Lushi wanted to say something more, but seeing the winks of Cheng's mother and Ziling, she had to keep her mouth shut.

Although Xu Chunjun reprimanded her, she was not angry with her young lady, but just felt distressed.

"Girl, lie down and have a rest! I'll wake you up later at lunch time." Zi Ling said softly, "Mother Cheng and the others knead tofu balls to make soup. I know girls like to eat this on weekdays. I'll just watch outside , call me if you need anything."

They rented a small courtyard in the city, which was more convenient and cheaper than staying in a hotel.

There are several vegetables in the yard, and Cheng's mother uses the tender leaves of the vegetables together with tofu and meat to make meatball soup, which is also a home style.

Although Xu Chunjun was lying on the bed, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

All she could think about was what Mrs. Hou had said to her, and those words seemed to become ropes, binding her tightly.

From childhood to adulthood, Xu Chunjun has never been so entangled.

In the small kitchen, Lvyu was talking to Cheng's mother while choosing vegetables.

"I don't know what the third thing about Madam Hou is? I think the girl seems a little unhappy, and it must be a very embarrassing thing."

"It's not that the girl is worthless, she will speak when she wants to." Cheng's mother cut the pork belly into pomegranate seed-sized pieces and put them together with the crushed tofu.

Hearing what she said, Lvzhen remembered Ziling's usual advice to herself "to learn to hold your breath when things happen", so she didn't ask any more questions.

For lunch, besides meatball soup, there are two small stir-fry dishes. Mama Cheng's cooking skills are good, and the simple dishes are also full of flavor and not dull.

Xu Chunjun got up to eat, even though she had no appetite, she finished the meal well.

She has always been like this, try not to get emotional when things happen, because it doesn't help.

Although this matter made it difficult for her to make a decision and she was very entangled in her heart, it was not as obvious as ordinary people after all.

After eating, Ziling saw that she was not sleepy, so she asked: "Miss, do you want to take a bath? The weather is very good today, and water is also readily available."

Xu Chunjun took a bath in the Hou Mansion the first day, but he still wanted to take a bath at this time.

She is cautious in Xu's house, and she often hides her likes and dislikes. Except for the two maids who are close to her, she knows her habits and likes.

Xu Chunjun likes to take a bath, because it can relax her whole body, and she can think more clearly than usual.

Ziling carries a sachet with her, which contains dried Cymbidium.

Every time Xu Chunjun took a bath, she would put a little sycamore fragrance into it, and the quiet fragrance seemed to be there, which was especially suitable for Xu Chunjun's temper.

Several times she buried her face in the water and held her breath.He didn't lift his head until he couldn't hold it anymore.

The sun slanted slightly to the west, and a pomegranate tree in the yard was in full bloom.

Two little birds that had just hatched were learning to fly on the eaves, and the big birds were chirping, as if encouraging them to spread their wings quickly.

After Cheng's mother had eaten, Lvshi rushed to clean the dishes.

"You always take a rest, the sky is long, you can't do without a nap." Zi Ling walked over with a smile and said, "Young lady, we will take care of you!"

Mother Cheng watched coldly all the way, and felt more and more that Miss Wu is a person who can take care of herself. For these two girls alone, one is lively and diligent, and the other is meticulous and thoughtful, which are rare.

"Okay, I'll go back and lie down for a while, this waist really has some hair shafts." Mother Cheng said while beating her waist, "Young lady, call me if you have something to do."

Xu Chunjun soaked in the bath for a long time, the skin of her hands and feet were wrinkled, and the water was cold, so she came out.

Zi Ling wiped her hair half dry with a big cloth towel, and said: "Let's let it loose first, and then use a comb to comb it up after a while."

"I'll read a book by the bed for a while, and it's almost done." Xu Chunjun only wore a misty green homely robe, which was loose and casual.

She didn't intend to go out, and she didn't have any customers, so this dress was just right.

It was only after a meal that Cheng's mother came in with a bag of dim sum, smiled and said to Xu Chunjun: "I went to the street and bought some dim sum for the girl to try, you used to eat it when you were young."

Xu Chunjun lived in the capital before she was five years old, but she doesn't quite remember it.

"Thank you mom for thinking about it, but I'm not a child anymore, so I'll leave out snacks!" Xu Chunjun smiled and stood up. Mother Cheng served her aunt, and as a junior, she should respect herself.

"Sit down, girl, it's still early for dinner." Cheng's mother was afraid that Xu Chunjun would be hungry.

"Thank you mom for thinking about it. It's just that there are many places where we need to spend money when we go out to do errands. Let's save money if we can!" Xu Chunjun knew what he was here for.

"It's just a pack of snacks, how much money can I have?" Cheng's mother said, "The girl is already easy enough, but it can't be too simple."

"Mommy, sit down, Ziling will pour tea." Xu Chunjun ordered.

Mother Cheng didn't refuse, knowing that Xu Chunjun had something to say to herself.

"Actually, I should have told my mother earlier, but my mood was really messed up before." Xu Chunjun said apologetically.

"But Mrs. Hou is embarrassing the girl again?" Mother Cheng asked.

"It's not too difficult." Xu Chunjun smiled, and the smile was a little short, "Today she raised the third matter, but I didn't immediately agree, but said that I would give her an answer after thinking about it for a few days."

Mother Cheng felt bad when she heard her say that.

Although the first two things were difficult, Xu Chunjun deserved it to his heart's content, which shows how entangled Xu Chunjun was with the third thing.
