Concubine like a house

Chapter 33
Ever since Rong Jintang came out, Yun Ci kept his eyebrows in silence.He didn't expect that his mother would be so disgusted with Chuxiu that she even threatened her life.What was really helpless was that he had no power to resist in the face of his mother's verbal persecution.He had no doubt that his mother would follow through on her word.

It would be great if there is no poison in the body!He can give Xiu a child, and the mother will definitely let go and nod for the sake of the child...

But where in this world do prophets come from?

"Go and see what Xiu is doing." Yun Ci sighed softly, and ordered Zhu Ying weakly.But when he approached the courtyard where the servant girl lived, he temporarily changed his mind: "Push me back to Qingxinzhai, and send her to serve."

If he really wants to marry someone else, why should he let others see Xiu's joke?

After a while, the pair of fateful mandarin ducks entered Qingxinzhai one after the other.

At this time, it was the third quarter of Shen time. In the early summer, the days were long and the nights were short, and the sky was still bright.It's just that Yun Ci would rather the room be darker and more sinking, so that he can hide all his heavy thoughts.He has never felt so indebted to anyone, first he lifted her up to the clouds, and now he is going to send her to hell.Even if the situation forced him, he could not forgive himself.

With such powerlessness and helplessness, Yun Ci began to regret his initial affection.At least, although her heart is calm, she can save her life.It's not like today, when innocent people are infected with love poison internally, coerced externally, and their reputation is damaged.

"Master Hou's complexion is very bad, but his leg is unbearable?" Before Yun Ci could speak out, he could hear Xiu's concern, "I'll go ask Miracle Doctor Qu to come over."

"No need." Yun Ci subconsciously grabbed Xiu's hand.He looked up at her, and carefully remembered her shyness and emotion. Whether it was when he had a heart-to-heart or when he was touching her skin, everything about her was so clear, as if it happened yesterday.

How to speak to her?No matter how many twists and turns, I'm afraid it is also a word of "injury".Yun Ci suppressed the look in his eyes, and tried to slow down his tone: "Chuxiu, I'm getting married."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Ci felt that the soft and gentle shadow beside him was a little stiff. He wanted to explain and comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.Does it mean that she was poisoned by love?Not suitable to have children?Or is it that the mother can't tolerate her, and even came up with extreme measures?Isn't this another kind of harm to Chuxiu?I'm afraid that apart from being sad, she will feel inferior, self-abandoned, and fearful.

Thousands of words, he can only turn into one sentence: "I have my responsibility, which cannot be shirked."

After a long time, Yunci heard Chuxiu's smile, which didn't seem to be forced, but there was no lack of pain: "You are hesitant to talk because of your marriage?"

Yun Ci's heart froze, she didn't know whether to admit it or deny it, but she said calmly: "As humble as I am, I don't dare to think wishful thinking, I just want to serve you by your side for a long time... I also hope to have a dignified, A young lady with a good family background is matched with you... Don't worry, the new wife is also my master."

These few words, Chuxiu asked himself sincerely.With Yun Ci's status and status, how could he not marry?How can there be no heir?She never expected that a muddy person like herself could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Banished Immortal on the Cloud, and having those two nights was already a supreme favor.She has this self-knowledge.

It wasn't until this moment that Chuxiu really knew what an unforgettable love is.

In the past when he and He Lianqi spent time together, it wasn't that they had no plans at all.She wanted his vows, his promises in soft words, and wholeheartedly hoped that he could redeem her body and give her the status of concubine.After that, even if he marries another regular wife, she is confident that she will be favored by him for the rest of her life, and she will stay together so legitimately.

But now, after meeting Yun Ci, she realized that she could be so selfless.He didn't care about gold, silver, money, silk, status, and even dared to dream of having children for him.I just thought that if I could have a place in this Zhiyan Xuan, even if I served the pen, ink, paper and inkstone all day long, as long as I could watch him and guard him, I would feel that this life was all.

I like it wholeheartedly, like it selflessly, but also like it humblely.In order to stick to this liking, bitterness can also be turned into sweetness, and bitterness can also be turned into sweetness.

"Master Hou doesn't need to care about my situation and thoughts, whether I go out of Xiuxiu or go out of Xiuxiu, and I'm still in Zhiyanxuan. As long as you don't dislike it, and the new wife doesn't dislike it, can you allow me to serve here?" Xiu asked cautiously.Yunci heard it in his ears and felt even more powerless.

"The Xia family is a scholarly family that has been passed down for thousands of years... If you want to talk about the glory of the family, it has lived through more dynasties than the Yun family." Yun Ci paused for a moment before saying, "The most commendable thing is that the Xia family has never been an official. This is the same as The Yun family's act of wisely protecting oneself is exactly the same."

Yunci didn't know why he had to explain to Chuxiu, as if it would make him feel better if he said it this way: "The Yun family is sensitive in the north and the south, and is a wealthy businessman, so my father can't wait to find a scholarly family to cover up the increasingly lingering family. The strong stench of copper... So I and Miss Xia are also married by the fingertips."

"Such a good relationship is even more rare." Chuxiu smiled, infecting the early summer breeze, "One is 'cloud', the other is 'summer', winter clouds and summer, why don't they match?"

"The truth?" He looked at her seriously.

"The truth." She answered him seriously.

"I hope you can understand when you see her." Yun Ci continued to speak cryptically, hesitating to speak, afraid of stabbing Chuxiu in the heart again, and even more afraid that she would be disappointed.

It has been a long time since Yun Mansion has such a lively time. Sweeping is sprinkled up and down, red silk is hung high, and the monthly number of servants in the mansion is doubled;Mrs. Tai ordered to double the expansion of the banquet hall next to the Yinxiang Zuiyue Garden, opening up the two small courtyards connected at the back, just to expand the [-] seats to [-], so as to meet the needs of the banquet guests.

Accepting proposals, forming alliances, accepting levy, negotiating dates... were all completed at an unbelievable speed.By the time the expansion of the banquet hall was completed, a hundred days had passed, and it was just one month before the wedding.And Yun Xian and Luan Qing just returned to Yanlan City at this time.

As the day of Yunci's wedding drew closer, Chuxiu also began to lock herself in the house to practice calligraphy, following Yunci's instructions to stay behind closed doors.The entire Yun Mansion was full of festive atmosphere, decorated with lanterns and festoons, and renovated, just to welcome the coming hostess—Madam Li Xinhou.

I heard that the Xia family invited the best embroiderer in the world to work day and night, and within three months, a unique wedding dress was made, which was full of pearls and sparkled in splendor;

I heard that the Xia family prepared a dowry of 81 and a thousand acres of fertile land as a dowry;

I heard that Mrs. Tai personally visited Yunjin Village under Yun's name to weave for Yunci's newlyweds. The curtains, quilts, window curtains...even the satin silk handkerchiefs that cover the couple's wedding wine all need the best materials. and embroidery workers;
It is said that people from the Yun Mansion have been coming to congratulate them in recent days, and people from all over the place congratulated Li Xinhou on his wedding.

As the wedding day approaches, all kinds of news emerge one after another, which is full of joy.

The ninth day of September, Changjiujiu, is the auspicious day chosen by Mrs. Tai for a big wedding.And today, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th.Chuxiu silently tore down the curtains, blocking the moonlight in the garden from his eyes, and then sat down before returning to the case, and wrote the word "moon" with a pen.After a year, she was finally able to write this word.

"Leaving it like a dagger, holding it down like a knife, the vertical hook is slender, so you have to be thin." What he taught her, she always remembered.It's just that I don't know if he still remembers, or how long he can remember.

"What are you doing?" A clear and light voice recalled Chuxiu's thoughts.The half-open door was pushed open again, it was Yunci and Zhuying.

Chuxiu hurriedly got up and put down his brush: "Master Hou." It would be a lie to say that he was not happy. In such a festive season, he actually left the whole house and condescended to come to the courtyard where the maid lived. is enough.

To love so humblely.

"Why are you here during such a festive season?" Chuxiu asked, pursing her lips.

"It's such a festive season, so I should come here." Yunci waved his hand to signal Zhuying to retreat, then skipped the subject, looked at the table case and asked, "What are you writing?"

"It's just practicing calligraphy." Chuxiu replied lightly.

As soon as the words fell, Yunci had already pushed the wheelchair forward, picked up the paper on the desk, and looked down at the word "moon" full of paper.

"What?" Chu Xiuqiang asked with a smile, "The writing is not good?"

"Could it be?" Yun Ci suddenly felt tender, thought for a while, and then asked, "You and I have a drink today? Hmm?"

"Aren't you a non-drinker?"

"It's okay to have a drink once in a while."

The bright soul rises in the sky and the mirror rises, and the fairy sounds among the clouds are silent.At this moment, the silk and bamboo that can be faintly heard outside the window are things outside of things, and will never disturb Yunci and Chuxiu's solitude.The sound of the clashing glass luminous cups was crisp and sweet, and the two exchanged cups and drank them all in one gulp.

Perhaps wine can strengthen one's courage and make people talk more, Yunci drank a cup, his mind became hot, and he tried to say something: "Chuxiu, Miss Xia and I..."

"Master Hou." Chuxiu stopped him softly, "Is it okay if you don't mention this tonight?"

Holding the wine glass, Yun Ci was silent for a moment: "Okay." Seeing Xiu again, his face was still as usual.

"Do you blame me in your heart?" He still couldn't help asking her.

Chuxiu lowered her eyes and sighed: "I am an unclean body, and it is a great blessing to be loved by you."

"Come out of Xiu!" Yun Ci said angrily.

"Don't blame the Marquis, I made a slip of the tongue and punished myself with a cup." After she said that, she poured herself a cup, and said, "As the Marquis of Lixin, there is nothing wrong with marrying wives and concubines, and continuing the incense. I... Never complained, only grateful."

"Chuxiu..." The same two words were murmured repeatedly between Yunci's teeth, and each time they were called, the meaning was different.Just now it was resentment, but now it is helplessness.

"I told you not to mention it, but I brought it up again." Chuxiu laughed at herself, "Why don't you tell me about your acquaintance with the young master? I've always been surprised, you and his temperament are very different, How can it be so good?"

When mentioning Shen Yu, Yun Ci naturally thought of the poison of love in the womb.Just as he was thinking about how to speak, Chuxiu's expression changed, and he suddenly covered his mouth and retched.Yunci stretched out his hand to help her, but Chuxiu patted his chest with his backhand, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's okay, I think I was in a hurry to drink just now."

This time, it was Yun Ci's turn to change his face, and he quickly reached out to pinch her pulse, feeling even more mixed in his heart.How much she wanted a child belonging to her and him, but now she finally waited for this moment.However... the child came at the wrong time.

"You are three months pregnant." Yun Ci said in a calm voice.

"Pregnant!" Chuxiu was first surprised, then overjoyed, she really wanted to have a baby for him!But just as her joy arose, it was completely extinguished by one sentence, "This child cannot be kept."

An irreversible curse cast Chuxiu into hell in an instant.She lit the candle, trying her best to see Yun Ci's expression clearly.But she failed, and when tears filled her eyelashes, the water would blur her vision.

In the daze, the figure in white just lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, holding the glass wine glass tightly in his hand: "I can't have this child. Right now...is not the time."

It's not the time... That's right, the new wife hasn't entered the door yet, so there really shouldn't be a child at this moment!Especially, it's a child with a bad name!Chuxiu understood instantly, and said without choking his head, "I understand."

Three words, one thorn, both of them were in pain.

Yunci was silent for a while, unwilling to look up to see Xiu, for fear that seeing her tears would be the first to surrender.Originally, he was forcing himself to convince himself that if he softened his heart at this moment, his success would be in vain——

That child, male or female, will once again taste the pain of love poison that is worse than death.No matter how hard you try the day after tomorrow, the poison brought out from the womb cannot be completely eliminated.Fortunately, the body is weak and the medicine will not leave the body; the unlucky one will die early.

Yunci himself is the son of a descendant, and he can still enjoy good medicine after suffering from fetal poison; however, the flesh and blood in Chuxiu's belly is not a descendant, not even a concubine, even if he is born, how can he care for a lifetime? ?If there is really an eventuality...it will be even more difficult if the mother and son are left.

Rather than being heartbroken then, it is better to cut off the cause now.Yun Ci let go of the wine glass in his hand, and said calmly: "We will have another child in the future, and it doesn't matter if we lose this one. Besides, it's not the right time."

The real foothold is still the last four words.The only thing to blame is that the kid came at the wrong time.Chuxiu slightly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the water in the eyes had been removed, leaving only indifferently: "Your servant understands."

She calls herself a "servant" again!But who can blame this?How can he bear it, how can he rest assured... His mother's words are still in his ears.I'm afraid that even if the child is born, no matter whether he lives or dies, it will not be Chuxiu's turn to raise him personally.

At first, he thought that the child would be her talisman; but now, it can only be her death talisman... In order to prevent her from being hurt and sad, he had to be cruel to himself first.

"Tomorrow, I will bring the medicine myself..." Yun Ci looked directly at the pair of clear eyes in front of her, deliberately ignoring the wet tears on her cheeks, "These days, you should take a rest, Danxin will come to take care of you. "

It was almost like running away, and when this cruelty could still be controlled in his heart, Yun Ci left.Behind him, the wax torch turned to ashes.

No matter how difficult the time is, we will finally get through this day.On the ninth day of September, Lixin Hou Yun resigned from his wedding.

From the hour of Chen, the sound of cannons and music outside could be heard endlessly, and one could almost imagine how lively and grand it was.Zhiyanxuan's servants were all gone, everyone had a job, the courtyard was empty, only one woman was lying on the couch in the room, staring blankly at the ceiling.

The prosperous scene of this day and the desolation and loneliness in my heart will never be forgotten in Chuxiu's life.The cold feeling of emptiness in her stomach reminded her of the passing of a life every moment, and she was suffering physically and mentally day and night.

In fact, she can't remember the process of conceiving very clearly, after all, more than [-] days have passed.Yun Ci was very considerate, and even the bowl of miscarriage medicine brought over was as sweet and sour as soup, taking care of her sense of taste extremely well.However, she would rather drink a bowl of poison, so that she can find a bitter excuse to spit it out.This mellow and sweet taste forced her to willingly abandon her child.

In my impression, abortion was not a big pain, but maybe the soup was too clever, Chuxiu only remembered being lethargic and weak.When he woke up again, his lower body was bleeding profusely, and only Miracle Doctor Qu and Dan Xin were beside the couch.Yunci, nowhere to be seen.

She was not without resentment.These days, Yunci came to visit every day, and stayed in front of her bed for half an hour each time, but neither of them said a word.

The sound of silk and bamboo outside was louder, mixed with the deafening sound of firecrackers, and the cheers were louder and louder.In contrast, Chuxiu's house was dim and gloomy, so she could see the outside more clearly.

It was all red at first glance, and even the branches of the trees were tied with red silk, which made the whole night glow red, just like the blood on the day she gave birth.Thinking and watching, Chuxiu suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, so he struggled to sit up and lowered his head to find his embroidered shoes.At this time, the door was pushed open with a "squeak", followed by an exclamation:
"Chuxiu! How can you go to the ground!" Dan Xin quickly put the water basin in her hand on the shelf, and hurried to stop her from getting out of bed.

"It's okay, after lying down for more than [-] days, I should get out of bed and walk away." Chuxiu smiled, and his eyes fell on the overwhelming red outside the window, "Everyone else is going to watch this rare lively scene , you are the only one here to take care of me."

It's okay if you don't say this, once you say it, Zhijiao Danxin's eyes turn red.She sniffed, forced herself to laugh and said, "What's so interesting about this! There are so many people that you can't see anything, so it's better to be at ease here."

Chu Xiu heard the words and smiled, leaned back on the couch again, and no longer insisted on getting out of bed.

Looking at the bloodless face in front of him, he just felt glaring and uncomfortable.Chuxiu originally had a melon-seeded face with a pointed chin, but now it is so thin that it is no bigger than a palm, and the snowy muscles that used to be rosy in the past are now as pale as paper.

"Don't blame the master." Unconsciously, he blurted out indifferently to defend Yunci, "Master has never been close to women in his life, but only treats you well... This child has fallen, and his heart is more bitter than anyone else."

Chuxiu nodded slightly: "I understand."

"You don't understand..." Dan Xinyu was already crying, "Master came to check on you during the day and then went back, but you don't know... every night, Zhuying will push him over... the master is outside I stayed there for most of the night, just staring at your door, that look, it's just..." At this point, Danxin couldn't continue, only weeping.
