I painted red makeup for Hou Ye

Chapter 76 Return to Beijing
Linzhou also ushered in a heavy rain, and the autumn wind blew the windows open. Cui Xuan woke up from her sleep, got off the bed, walked to the window and closed it.

However, the wind was so strong that it took her a lot of strength to close it.

She stood by the window and watched the pouring rain outside, feeling a little pain in her heart.

Cui Xuan frowned slightly, covering her heart with her hands.This was different from her previous pain, and she felt a little sad.

"Ah!"

After she sneezed, Cui Xuan felt a burst of cold air sweeping her body, and quickly lay down on the bed and covered herself tightly with a quilt.

When Cui Kai walked into the room, he saw Cui Ge sitting up from the bed.

The little boy was startled, and hurried over to help the old man: "Grandfather, why are you up?"

Cui Ge shook his head with a smile, "It's okay, grandfather can still move, come with me."

Hearing this, Cui Kai quickly followed Cui Ge and walked forward.

The grandparents and grandchildren came to the outer frame with red lacquer carvings and gold flower patterns.

Old Cui Ge covered his mouth and coughed twice, then opened a grid on the side, in which was a glazed jade box, and he handed it to Cui Kai.

The jade box is gentle to the touch and has clear lines. Cui Kai looked at him suspiciously, "What is this?"

Cui Gelao patted his head, "Your mother left this for you."

Cui Kai's eyes lit up immediately, and he raised his hand to open the box, but Cui Ge held his hand down, "Don't rush to open it, let's talk with grandfather."

"it is good."

Elder Cui Ge led him into the inner room and asked, "Ah Kai is ten years old this year, right?"

Cui Kai nodded again and again, "Yes, I will be eleven when the Chinese New Year comes."

Cui Ge Lao nodded, pulled him to sit by the tea table, took out a piece of hibiscus cake from the plate with trembling hands, and handed it to Cui Kai.

Cui Kai took the hibiscus cake and said with a smile, "Thank you, grandfather."

Elder Cui Ge squeezed his face, "A few days ago, did Ah Kai come first in the essay test in the school?"

Cui Kai nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, grandfather, isn't Ah Kai very good? Can my grandfather go to watch the martial arts test next month? If my grandfather is there, I will definitely get the first place."

Cui Ge shook his head, "Ah Kai is so good, even if your grandfather is not around, you will definitely be able to take the first place."

Cui Kai sniffed, and tears fell on the hibiscus cake, "No, if you don't go, I'm afraid I will lose. Grandfather, you just go."

The words were obviously being coquettish, but Cui Kai cried with tears all over his face.

Elder Cui Ge sighed, and wiped away his tears, "I'll be an adult in the future, I can't cry all the time."

Cui Kai raised his head and said, "Grandfather, they said that you will die, just like father and mother. I don't believe it. How could you die?"

The hot teardrops of the little boy fell down.

The autumn rain outside the same room is average.

Elder Cui Ge felt pity for this young man, before Cui Kai was full moon, his mother passed away, and when he was six years old, his father also passed away.

He is only ten years old, and he has to experience so many life and death.

And because his parents died early, this child is extra sensible.

Cui Ge patted him on the back to coax him, "Stop crying, grandpa is already 87, and he has already lived enough in this life. Besides, in life, separation always exists, these are common things."
.
It was already early winter when the plague in Linzhou was completely cured.

At that time, Shen Shujun had already lost two circles of weight, and the red robe he wore when he came here also looked much fatter.

But there was no need for him to wear them anymore, Cui Mei had already had someone make new cotton padded clothes for them, so naturally they couldn't wear the summer clothes they had when they came.

Yun Xi had also come over at that time. Ji Yun told her earlier that when Mo Cheng found her and Jian Jing, he saw that Jing had broken his leg. Yun Xi was worried about seeing Jing, so he asked Mo Cheng to bring her a message.

Now when winter arrives, Cui Xuan is tightly wrapped up by Yun Xi.

Cui Xuan felt that she could roll all the way to the capital without taking a carriage.

When she said this, Yun Xi glared at her: "The girl really doesn't care about herself."

Cui Xuan shrank her neck and patted her small head: "You little girl, you are neither big nor small."

After speaking, she ran to Zheng's side again, curled her lips and said, "Sister-in-law, see if I'm ugly, if..."

If the fifth brother saw it, he would definitely laugh at me.

She wanted to say that, but suddenly thought that Cui Yu would never see her like this again.

Zheng Shi: "If you're fit, you'd better wear more clothes, besides, it's not ugly at all."

Cui Xuan suppressed the emotions in her heart, and stuck out her tongue at her, "Okay, okay, the time has come, we should return to Beijing."

After that, she pulled Mrs. Zheng out.

A gust of cold wind hit her face, causing her to cover her nose and walk forward with her eyes squinted.

"Master Hou."

As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, Cui Xuan happened to see Ji Yun, and she hurriedly said.

She wore a dark green silk jacket and a thick frosty white cloak on the outside, and her head was tightly covered by a hat.

With a look of alienation on her face, Ji Yun paused in his heart.

Since the day when Shen Shujun came, the two had never met each other again.

He didn't understand why Cui Xuan was like this.

Then came Shen Shujun, who was wearing a white robe this time, with his head drooping, full of thoughts.

Cui Xuan didn't say anything more, and walked out the door with Mrs. Zheng.

As soon as he walked away, he heard Mrs. Zheng ask: "Did you quarrel with Master Hou?"

Cui Xuan: "Why do you ask like that? Sister-in-law also said that he is Lord Marquis, and I'm just a little courtier, how dare I offend you?"

There was a hint of sarcasm on her face.Zheng Shi pulled her lips, the words seemed to be angry.

"Okay, let's get in the carriage."

In a blink of an eye, the aunt and sister-in-law walked to the carriage.

Cui Xuan nodded, lifted her foot and boarded the carriage.

Shen Shujun didn't know how to ride a horse, so he got into the carriage behind him alone.

Cui Xuan saw that his little hands were shrinking, so she ordered someone to give him a hand stove, "It's cold, Mr. Shen, please warm your hands."

Shen Shujun was stunned for a moment, "Thank you."

Compared with before, the boy's brows and eyes were slightly gloomy.

Cui Xuan lowered the car curtain.

Fu Yao frowned, and asked, "He doesn't know what's going on these days, he's always preoccupied, and I haven't seen him smile before."

Cui Xuan lowered her eyelids and did not speak.

As the carriage drove all the way out of the city, Cui Xuan's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she gradually fell asleep leaning on Yun Xi.

When he woke up, he was awakened by Yun Xi.

She rubbed her eyes and saw that it was already dark.

Mrs. Zheng helped her straighten her hair, "rest in the inn overnight, and leave tomorrow morning."

Cui Xuan nodded quickly, "Okay, then let's go to the inn."

After that, she jumped out of the carriage first.

As soon as he went there, he saw Ji Yun not far away.

He seemed to have just dismounted, as if he just happened to see her.
