Concubine like a house

Chapter 17: It's Hard To Say Goodbye When We Meet (1)
The next day, Hanchu didn't go to serve in the study, but just boiled the medicine as usual, and entrusted Danxin to deliver it on her behalf.She thought that Yunci's gift of the piano yesterday had brought this master-servant relationship to an end.

Unexpectedly, after only a stick of incense, Danxin found her courtyard again, and said in a vicious voice: "Who taught you to be lazy here? Hurry up and go to the study to serve! Today, the master will not return!"

Not going back?At the beginning, Han felt surprised and happy, but afterward, he was disappointed again.They will leave sooner or later, and it makes no difference whether they leave early or late.

Hanchu looked at Danxin, gestured and asked, "Why didn't you leave?"

"I don't know what the master is thinking!" Danxin reached out and pinched Han Chu's waist, pretending to scold, "Go! I will serve you the decoction in the morning, and the master didn't give me a good look."

Han Chu hurriedly trotted all the way to the study, but she didn't see her, Dan Xin laughed endlessly behind her.

Dongyuan study.

The domestic slaves of Yun Mansion spread all over the North and South countries, infiltrating everywhere and being omnipotent.What Yun Ci ordered last night, he got a reply early this morning, and the speed of doing things like this can't be said to be unpleasant.

The few thin sheets of paper that are placed on the table now are the life records of a woman in a brothel.Yun Ci looked at the paper in front of him and remained silent, with an indistinguishable expression.

I don't know how long it has been like this, suddenly there was a movement outside the door, followed by Zhu Ying's faint words:

"The master has ordered, no one is allowed to disturb..."

"I don't understand your gestures..."

"What does Chuxiu girl want to say?"

Hearing the word "chuxiu", Yun Ci immediately asked, "Who is outside the door?"

"Master, it's a girl from Chuxiu." Zhu Ying said respectfully outside.

Yun Ci hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Let her in."

As soon as the words fell, a light green figure drifted in, like a fairy among flowers, with a bit of inviolability and refinement.But who would have thought that a girl with such temperament would have been... Yun Ci's heart sank involuntarily.

Han Chu didn't notice his strangeness yet, first she bowed Pingting to salute, and then stretched out her hand to gesture.

Yunci understood, and replied blankly: "I didn't order you to come."

Hanchu was taken aback for a moment, then mouthed two more words: "Pale heart."

It turned out that Danxin made his own claim... Yun Ci didn't explain anymore.

Han Chu was also a little embarrassed when he saw this, so he wanted to lean over and leave.

"Since you're here, let's stay." Seeing her evasive expression, Yun Ci was slightly annoyed, and reached out to put a few pieces of paper on the table into his sleeve.

Han Chu had no choice but to accept orders to stay.She looked at the table case, the ink in the inkstone was dry, it was clear that no one was grinding the ink.Ke Yunci put away a few more pieces of paper with writing, didn't he write it?Hanchu suppressed the doubts in his heart, and started to work with the brush and ink according to the usual practice, first cutting the rice paper, and then grinding the ink.

"I don't need to study ink today, I don't write." Yun Ci said flatly.

Han Chu stopped moving.

Yun Ci looked at her with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through her mind: "Why didn't you leave without asking me?"

Han Chu's eyes flickered for a moment, and soon fell silent again.

Yun Ci still looked at her, his eyes lingering.

Han Chu was a little at a loss when he was stared at by this unknown gaze, and he also noticed that there was something unusual about Yun Ci today.She thought for a moment, then looked back very calmly, with a questioning expression in her eyes.

Yunci always thought that Chuxiu, no, it was Hanchu, who had a pair of eyes that could speak, clear to the bottom, not stained with dirt, making people forget their worries.He finally understood where her beauty lies, and this beauty has long been known to the world.

He looked at Han Chu's frowning brows and waving eyes for a long time, before he spoke quietly, and said the same words again, with an extremely firm attitude: "Come out of Xiu, follow me to Fangzhou."

Han Chu's watery eyes became clear in an instant, and the degree of surprise was even worse than when he first heard the words.She thought she had made it clear, even though she didn't make a sound, that silent "no" was able to express everything.

Hanchu didn't dare to look at Yunci again, for fear that if he took another look, he would nod involuntarily.She quickly lowered her eyes and shook her head, silently declining.

"Why don't you want to? Give me a reason." Yun Ci slowly pushed the cut rice paper in front of Han Chu, "You write it out, no matter how long or long it is, I will wait."

Hearing this, Han Chu's complexion gradually turned pale, and after a while, he shook his head again.She has no reason, so she doesn't need to write.

"Since the father and son of the Ming family came here, you don't like to laugh much." Yun Ci said with a bit of hope, and Han Chu was not allowed to continue to avoid, "Tell me the reason, do you have any difficulties? Come out of Xiu?"

Is there any reason?Han Chu asked himself in his heart.How to talk about those unspeakable past events?She was only afraid of polluting this man's ears.Looking at Yun Ci's hopeful eyes, Han Chu almost blurted out to tell the truth, but in the end, he chose to remain silent again.

Yun Ci has been waiting and watching. He boasted of being extremely patient, but he was still defeated by Han Chu's stubbornness.If there was a feeling of disappointment welling up in his heart, Yun Ci said slowly: "If you don't want to say it, I won't force it."

He looked at the long eyelashes on Han Chu's eyelids, which were fine and slightly curled. In the blink of an eye, the water shone, as if some crystal clear gem had condensed on her long eyelashes.

Yun Ci involuntarily stretched out his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears.But almost at the same time as he raised his hand, Han Chu turned around quickly, turned his back to the past, and tried his best to hide his emotions.

The movement of turning around was too fast, as fast as she was crying.It was so fast that Yunci almost had the illusion that the crystals that condensed on her long eyelashes just now did not exist.But he has always had excellent eyesight.

He could only look at Han Chu's back.The shoulders of the master from the back trembled slightly, revealing a bit of tenderness.But he knew that her heart was not weak, on the contrary, she had a different kind of strength.

The pity in his heart increased a bit, prompting Yunci to speak again: "I know you have suffered in the past, maybe you are very resistant to the nobles...but you should understand that I am different from them."

A bit of bitterness appeared in Yunci's heart, he silently considered his words, and continued: "You have offended the Ming family in Jingzhou, although they don't care about it this time, they may make a comeback in the future... I'm afraid that with Zifeng's ability , can't protect you."

"Even if Zifeng is willing to protect you, what about the Marquis of Wenchang? Are you willing to offend the descendants of the dynasty for you?" Yunci knew that he had hit Hanchu's pain, and also admitted that this method was very cruel.But he had no choice but to persuade her like this.

If no one touches that old disease, I am afraid she will never know where the pain is and how to recover.

Seeing Han Chu's slender back, Yun Ci raised his head slightly, probably trying to hold back his tears.The hairpin in her hair swayed slightly, just like the ripples in the spring when he first saw her.

"Chuxiu..." This is the name he chose for her. "I said that people who are in Israel can't last long. Come with me to Fangzhou, and I can teach you poetry, poetry, and housekeeping, and I will find you a housekeeper in the future." Nice family. You won't be bullied or insulted in Fangzhou."

"You can go and inquire, but all women from Yunfu, even if they are slaves, are superior to thousands of ladies. At least in Fangzhou, everyone is vying for a married man. I will pick a perfect match for you, and I will never humiliate you." about you."

Before saying these words, Yun Ci never thought that the Marquis of Lixin's Mansion, which is considered impossible to get into in the eyes of the world, would be dismissed in front of this girl.And his majestic son actually tried hard to persuade her to lower her eyebrows and nod, she almost begged.

The words on the few pieces of paper hidden in the sleeve were heart-burning, all of which were the blood, tears and wounds of the woman in front of him.He should have chosen to turn a blind eye, but God's will let him meet her, and with the relationship between master and servant for more than three months, he couldn't stand by and watch.

What's more, there was a piano sound last night, which was soul-stirring.

Yunci put his hands on the table and stood up slowly.Walking in front of Hanchu step by step, his leg pain was unbearable but he enjoyed it so much.

As expected, the girl's face was full of tears, each of which was beautiful and transparent, like priceless pearls.This time, Yun Ci didn't give her a chance to turn around again, and gently wiped the tears on her cheeks with his sleeves: "Why are you awkward? Why don't you want to? Or...do you have someone you can't let go of in Jingzhou?" The last sentence , he asked cautiously.

Han Chu tightly closed his eyes, not daring to look at the man in front of him who looked like a banished fairy.She could only shake her head desperately and cry desperately, unable to say a word.

The wetness between the fingers came from the tears of the woman in front of him, which was slightly cool.With Han Chu's denial, Yun Ci's heart also dropped.

"Are you used to say things against your will?" He was not discouraged, and asked with a smile, "If you don't want to leave, why did you play "Youth Tour" last night? Since you dared to play it, why didn't you dare to admit it?"

He heard it all!Hanchu stopped sobbing instantly, his eyes were in a trance and he didn't know how to explain it.I originally thought that no one would listen to the song of last night, but it finally fell into the ears of those who cared.

Yun Ci looked at the tears on Han Chu's face, as if a pool of water could flow from his heart.It was the first time that he was so strong in front of a woman, and he ordered her unquestionably: "Don't think about anything, I'll take care of the rest of the trivial matters."

After saying that, Yunci turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and sighed softly: "According to the time, Zifeng should come here too. Wipe away your tears and follow me to see him."

Dongyuan, waiting for the living room.

Shen Yu looked at the picture of welcoming pine trees in the hall, and frowned lightly.After the tea incident last night, he was very depressed, returned to the Marquis Mansion of Wenchang and drank a lot of wine alone, almost had a headache this morning and couldn't get up.Thinking that it was the day of Yunci's return trip, he managed to grab some medicine and hurried over.

I thought it was too late, but as soon as I entered the garden gate, I was told by Zhu Ying that Yun Ci would not leave today!
Shen Yu knew that Yunci always said what he said, so he couldn't help but secretly speculate on the reason why he delayed the trip.After much deliberation, I have no clue.

The sound outside the door pulled back his thoughts in due time, Shen Yu turned to look at the person who came, and greeted: "Hold him." Looking at the person who pushed him in, it was not Zhuying or Danxin, but Han Chu.Also, her eyes were slightly red.

For some reason, Shen Yu had a premonition of what was going to happen, and his heart sank inexplicably.

Yun Ci originally wanted to talk to Shen Yu in front of Han Chu, but when he entered the door, he changed his mind and smiled at Han Chu, "You go back first."

Han Chu saluted Shen Yu first, then followed his advice and bowed and retreated.

"Why did you suddenly decide not to leave?" Shen Yu asked with a smile when he saw Han Chu going out.

"It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I'll delay for a day or two." Yunci met Shen Yu's wanton smile and cut straight to the point, "Zifeng, I want to ask you for someone."

"Who?" Shen Yu asked without thinking, but at the same time as he asked, he already had the answer in his heart.

Yunci didn't hide it, and answered frankly: "I want to take out Xiuxiu and leave."

Hearing this name, Shen Yu smiled, with a cold look in his eyes: "Are you also confused by her beauty?"

Beauty?Yun Ci frowned invisibly: "You should know that I am not this kind of person."

"Then why?" Shen Yu asked, "How many days has she come to Dongyuan? Three months? How could you tell me this?" The anger in his heart was mixed with bitterness, which almost made him forget the same situation in front of him. The brotherhood of this man.

"Zifeng!" Yunci's expression became serious, and he explained in a deep voice, "Chuxiu is a good girl, I don't want to see you ruin her."

"Good girl? Ruin?" Shen Yu seemed to hear some joke, and laughed loudly, "If you knew who she was, I'm afraid you wouldn't think she was a good girl."

"It's because I know who she is that I said that." Yunci looked at Shen Yu frankly, and said, "You can't humiliate her just because of her family background. What happened in the past is not her fault."

"So you already know." Shen Yu only felt that his heart had been put in the abyss, and he smiled ironically, "Wait, you even bothered to check her details, what else can I say? "

Yun Ci was blocked by this ridicule. She was silent for a moment, and then said again: "If she was a good girl, I would never say this to you. But her identity... You often go to and from the place of fireworks. Until now There are still a few in the house, I don't want her to be reduced to here."

"How do you know that I will let her fall to this place?" Shen Yu retorted impulsively, "Could it be that I can't treat her sincerely? Otherwise, why would I offend the Ming family for her?"

Seeing this, Yun Ci did not reply immediately.He looked at Shen Yu's face openly for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Why, you know in your heart. Everyone in Jingzhou knows that Young Lord Shen treats women long-term, you can't make her sad again."

The voice fell for a long time, and there was no response from the house.This time it was Shen Yu who became silent.

Yun Ci saw that he was a little frustrated, and said: "Right now you are reluctant to part with her, but one day you will abandon her like a bag. How long is your longevity? One year? Two years? Even if you are sincere to her, can you give her a name? points? Or can it protect her from Ming's persecution?"

Yun Ci asked himself and saw clearly that Shen Yu treated Han Chu very coldly, even harshly.He didn't know the reason before, but now he finally figured it out.Shen Yu must have disliked Han Chu's past, but he also hated her beauty.

That being the case, how can I feel relieved to let Han Chu stay?
Facing Yun Ci's questioning, Shen Yu still did not answer.He withdrew his sneer and coldness, and no emotion could be seen on his face.Just when Yun Ci wanted to persuade her again, he asked in a muffled voice, "Is that why you like her so much?"

Yun Ci was stunned suddenly, and after realizing the meaning of Shen Yu's words, he quickly refuted: "There is not only the word 'love' between a man and a woman. I treat her... just with a bit of pity."

"Oh? Are you sure it's pity? Not pity?" Shen Yu smiled ironically again, with a bit of insight into people's hearts.

Pity, pity... Yunci's gaze was as deep as a deep pool, and after careful consideration for a moment, he solemnly replied: "It's just pity."

"Really?" Shen Yu looked away from his face and asked quietly outside the door.He didn't need to hear any more answers.

"Zifeng." Yunci sighed slightly, and his words were indifferent to see through life and death, "You also know that I am not a long-lived person, and I will not easily mess with any woman... I will have a fight with Chuxiu master and servant, and pity her I cherish her background and talent, and I just want to protect her in the future and find a good family for her."

Hearing the words "a long-lived person", Shen Yu finally felt pain in his heart. This was a sore he could never heal.No matter who is fighting against him in this world, he can hold his breath and take it slowly.

However, it was Yunci...

Shen Yu knew in his heart that if he didn't let go today, he would only owe Yun Ci more; but if he let go today, Yun Ci might have nothing in his heart, but he would not be able to have a blind date with Yun Ci anymore.

It was as if a thousand arrows were fired at once, piercing through the heart.The feeling of losing love and friendship at the same time was unbearable for Shen Yu.He clearly knew that Yun Ci didn't understand his feelings for Han Chu, but he couldn't express his affection.
