pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 41

Zhanjia has several shops in the capital, such as inns, restaurants, teahouses and cloth shops, etc.Zhan Huaichun's delivery is excluded, there are still many things to do when he gets there.The sky is high and the emperor is far away. This statement not only refers to the royal family, but also applies to businessmen.As the owner of the Zhan family, you can choose a loyal and reliable shopkeeper to take care of the shop there, but if you completely trust the shopkeeper, it's okay in the short term, but in the long run, no matter how loyal the shopkeeper is, you may have other ideas, so you still have to go there from time to time. A trip, knowing the market over there, can also estimate the income at the end of the year.If the difference is too much, there must be tricks in it.

Zhan Huaichun got an errand in the morning, and spent the whole day by Zhan Zhihan's side to watch how he patrolled the Zhan family's shops in the county town, which was considered temporary.It took a whole day to pick up people and things, look at the goods and check the accounts. The two of them ate out at noon, and it was already night when they came back in the evening.Zhan Huaichun just doesn't want to learn, once he has made up his mind, he will work hard to learn well, so when he is outside, he listens, watches and observes carefully. , his head couldn't take it anymore, he didn't wash his feet when he came back, he just lay down on the couch and fell asleep, it was Ayu who helped him change the clothes.

The light was soft, his sleepy eyes were dim, and he gradually closed his eyes, Ayu stood quietly by the bed and looked at him.Zhan Huaichun went out in the morning and only came back now, and she didn't send anyone to deliver any news. She didn't know if the young master agreed to let her stay.Deliberately wanted to ask him, he was so sleepy, A Yu didn't say much.Since the young master didn't send someone to take her away, he should have agreed, right?

The next morning, helping Zhan Huaichun to dress, Ah Yu finally got a definite answer that she really didn't have to leave, but Zhan Huaichun was going to go out on business in the capital, and she wouldn't be back until about two months later.

Ayu didn't understand anything about the outside world, she just listened to what Zhan Huaichun said, until Zhan Huaichun went out again, Ayu was still at a loss.

Because Zhan Huaichun said he would not come back until evening, Ayu finished cleaning the room, went to talk to Dangui Danxia, ​​and told them the news.

"Master is going to the capital? Did he say he would take you there?" Dangui was branching out, and stopped working when he heard this, and asked curiously.

A Yu shook her head: "The young master didn't say anything. The young master went out to run an errand, why did you take me?" She doesn't know anything, and she can't help even if she goes.

"He also needs to eat, dress, and sleep when he does errands! Our young master has never traveled far, so how can we not have someone to serve him when we travel so suddenly? Chang'an can help the young master run errands, and when it comes to serving people, it must be you Serve more thoughtfully. I think the young master will definitely take you there. You are lucky, Ayu!" Dangui hugged Ayu's arm, envious and jealous. "Look, you have been favored by the young master since you first came to our mansion, and you are going to go out with the young master to meet the world soon. That is the capital, at the foot of the emperor, and it is much more prosperous than our county! Ayu, let me tell you, when you come back from the capital, you must You want to bring me and Danxia some good things, such as silk flowers, handkerchiefs, delicious pastries, huh, anyway, you have money, if you don’t bring them to see you come back, how will I deal with you!”

She made a gesture to tickle Ayu, but Ayu was afraid of tickles, and blocked it with a smile. The two made a fuss, and suddenly Danxia poured a bucket of cold water on the other side: "Master may not take Ayu. Ayu hasn't grown hair yet." , It doesn’t matter in our mansion, if you take it outside, others don’t know that she has returned to vulgarity, so you must not misunderstand the young master and ask a nun to serve him. Even if the young master doesn’t care about this kind of thing, the eldest young master will not agree. "

Dangui wanted to refute, she opened her mouth, but she had to admit that what Danxia said made sense, she froze immediately.

Ayu looked at the disappointed Dangui, and was lost in thought.

Disappointed?It seems not, she doesn't yearn for the bustle and bustle of the capital, but Zhan Huaichun left, the young master doesn't like her, she stays here alone, feeling a little flustered.

The exhibitor, A Yu, felt anxious, and outside, Zhan Huaichun was so busy that his feet never touched the ground.What he learned yesterday was all about what to do in the capital. Today he has to deal with the shopkeeper in the teahouse and the team in the motorcade. These people are not only the Zhan family's buddies, but also partners. .We all know each other. At noon, everyone sat together to eat the noodles, all of them were men, and it was inevitable to toast and fight for wine.

After coming out of the guest room of the teahouse, Zhan Huaichun asked Zhan Zhihan to go back to the house first, and he had to go and talk to Xiao Ren.

When they arrived at the county government office, Zhan Huaichun took a detour to the backyard. Before Xiao Ren could taunt him, he first mentioned to him the matter of leaving for the capital tomorrow, and in exchange Xiao Ren yelled at him for being dishonest, for being so big I told him about it before I left.

In a few words, the relationship between the two returned to normal, and they sent a servant to book a table at the best restaurant in the county, and then drank in Xiao Ren's room.Eating, drinking, chatting, going all over the world, staying until the sound of the second watch, Xiao Cancan insisted on letting Xiao Ren coax him to sleep, so Zhan Huaichun got into the carriage with Chang'an's support, and went home drunk.

Chang An sent him back to his room, and the rest was up to A Yu.

Zhan Huaichun smelled of alcohol, so A Yu first ordered the kitchen staff to prepare sober soup, and then fetched water to help Zhan Huaichun wipe his face.

The water is lukewarm, and the towel is warm after being wet, and it is very comfortable to apply on the face.Zhan Huaichun muttered softly, and slowly opened his eyes.

In front of me is a familiar person, saying familiar, but in fact we have only known each other for only a month.As if just waking up, Zhan Huaichun looked at Ayu blankly, watching her wipe his face with concentration, watching her gentle eyebrows and eyes under the light.Somewhere in her heart was incredibly soft, just as her hand was still shaking in front of her eyes, Zhan Huaichun couldn't help but hold that hand, it was small and soft, weak and boneless.

"Master?" His eyes were drunk, he held her hand around and touched it like a child, and Ayu could not help him wipe his face anymore, so he couldn't help calling out in a low voice.

Zhan Huaichun turned his head slowly and stared at her mouth, with displeasure in his eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ayu was a little scared, the drunk young master was too different from usual.

"Master, I'm going to wash the towel." A Yu discussed with him in a soft voice, and tried to withdraw his hand.

Zhan Huaichun didn't speak, but only clenched tighter and tighter, and finally pulled Ayu suddenly, and Ayu was pulled into his arms.Ayu was taken aback, and she was about to get up with her hands on the couch, but the man's head suddenly stuck to her back, pressing her hard, muttering indistinctly: "Young master is not good, you want to call me Er..."

Before Ah Yu heard it clearly, she was suddenly pushed away by someone, and when she stood up again, Zhan Huaichun was no longer beside her.When he was stunned, there was a continuous sound of vomiting from the rear room, and A Yu hurried over, beating Zhan Huaichun's back gently.He vomited non-stop, and the smell was not pleasant, but seeing how uncomfortable he was, Ayu also felt uncomfortable for no reason.

Back on the bed again, Zhan Huaichun's face was pale.

Ayu poured warm water for him to rinse his mouth, then helped him change his clothes and wash his face, and when he was done, the little maid brought over the hangover soup.

"Master, have some drink." She handed him the bowl.

Zhan Huaichun opened his eyes after a while. He wanted to pick it up, but he had no strength in his body, and he was so drunk that his head was not clear. He looked at the obedient person in front of him, leaned against the head of the bed tiredly and said, "Hey, what are you doing?" I drink."

He hadn't enjoyed the treatment of being fed for a long time.Acting like a baby is something that children can take advantage of. Ever since he was ten years old, Zhan Huaichun has never been able to brazenly act like a baby with his parents and brothers, but Ayu is different, she is his maid, she doesn't understand anything, she listens to everything his.He's not acting like a baby, it's an order, and it's the enjoyment he should have as a young master.He went to make money for her, so it's only natural for her to serve her!
Thinking of this, Zhan Huaichun glared at A Yu viciously.

But in A Yu's eyes, his eyes are blurred, reflecting the light like water waves, no one can ruthlessly refuse his request, let alone serve him a small matter such as soup.A Yu didn't hesitate at all, leaned over, supported his shoulder with one hand, and brought the bowl to his mouth with the other.See him bend the corner of his mouth, lower his head and open his mouth to catch the rim of the bowl, see him frown but still drink.As the soup became shallower, Ah Yu slowly raised his hand, he gulped it down, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Master, do you want more?" A Yu asked straight up.

Zhan Huaichun closed his eyes and shook his head.

"Then I'll fetch the water, the young master will rest after washing his feet." A Yu said softly.It's getting dark outside, and he has to get up early tomorrow.

"Well, wash your feet." Zhan Huaichun repeated in a daze.

A Yu turned around and walked out, and looked back around the screen. The man was leaning crookedly on the bed, rubbing his forehead with one hand, as if he was very uncomfortable.A Yu looked away silently, and whispered in her heart as she walked, I really don't know what's so good about those wines, it smells bad, and it still makes people so tossed after drinking.

When A Yu entered the room again with the basin in hand, he found that although Zhan Huaichun was still leaning against the head of the bed, his eyes looking at her had regained some clarity.

It seems that hangover soup is quite effective.

Ayu walked over steadily, put down the water basin, and asked Zhan Huaichun to stretch his legs over.

Zhan Huaichun did what he said, watching her roll up his trouser legs, watching her dip her bare hands into the water to wash his feet.It's nothing if he didn't enjoy such thoughtful service before, but now that he enjoys it, he is of course reluctant to part with it, wishing he could take her to the capital as well, and let her serve him all the time.

However, he can't take her with him.

The eldest brother has already misunderstood that he has other thoughts about Ayu. If he goes to the capital and takes Ayu with him, taking her with a bald head, the eldest brother will definitely think of him that way even more.Although he doesn't care when he's playing a scoundrel, Zhan Huaichun actually doesn't want to be misunderstood.To like a bald head is to like a nun, and he is not that kind of person.

He just liked her because of her innocence, and wanted to take care of her until she got married smoothly.

He didn't seem to have told her about his plans, though.

"Ayu, I have to do a lot of errands when I go to the capital, and it's inconvenient to take you with me, so you can stay at the mansion for these two months. Don't worry, the young master has promised to let you stay, you stay in our yard obediently He won’t pick on you. There are books in the study, if you’re bored, just pick two and read them, or go talk to other maids, don’t be bored in the room and recite scriptures, don’t…” Surprised His tone didn't look like a young master, Zhan Huaichun stopped in time.Really, she is just like a child, but not a real child, why should he worry about it?

Zhan Huaichun raised his hand to stroke his forehead, covering his embarrassment.

A Yu lowered his head, paused with his hands, and soon continued to help him wash his feet.

It turned out that he really didn't intend to take her to the capital.

The moment he heard the man say it, A Yu's heart suddenly lost.But why it is not convenient to take her, Danxia has already explained very clearly, and Zhan Huaichun also told her not to worry about going or staying, what else is she missing?
It should be that she doesn't want to be separated from him. After all, he is the person she is most familiar with at present, but there is no way to do it. Who made her hairless?

"Well, I see, the young master is taking good care of himself outside." A Yu lowered his head and said.

She didn't want him to know her little thoughts, but it's a pity that she wasn't used to hiding her emotions, and the sober man in front of her was smart.Zhan Huaichun slowly sat upright and looked down at her: "Aren't you unhappy that I won't take you there? Don't say no, I can hear it." Perhaps it was too quiet at night, and his thoughts became more delicate than in the daytime , Many words that I feel unnecessary to ask during the day will be easily blurted out.Zhan Huaichun looked at A Yu, at this moment, he wanted to know what was going on in her heart.

Why is this person so powerful? He knew when she liked delicious food, but he knew now that she was just a little sad.

Ayu secretly raised his eyes, met his probing eyes, then hurriedly lowered them, thought for a while, and said honestly: "I'm not unhappy, just a little, a little reluctant to miss you, Master, you are so kind to me...don't worry, Master Me, I heard that driving on the road is very hard, don't get tired outside." A Yu raised his head and looked at him with a smile.

She smiled naturally, with reluctance and concern in her eyes, she quickly lowered her head and concentrated on washing his feet.

Zhan Huaichun stared at her intently, and his ears were filled with the soft reluctance.

He was going on a long trip, and his elder brother also cared about him, arranging manpower for him to tell him all kinds of things that needed attention, but he was reluctant to say such things, let alone elder brother, he couldn't even say it himself.But now, Ayu told him.Except for her own mother who hugged him before going out, Ayu was the first girl who said she hated him.

Take her to the capital?
It's really inconvenient.

Zhan Huaichun turned his eyes away, and said in a low and gentle voice, "I will come back as soon as possible, you wait for me in the mansion, and I will bring you the famous snacks in the capital."

"...Thank you, young master." A Yu wanted to say no, but she was afraid of being exposed by him again, so she changed her words temporarily, her pretty face flushed slightly.

When Zhan Huaichun saw it, his heart was suddenly full of pride.

Food is nothing, he will bring her jewelry back, and use the money he earned to buy it for her.

Isn't she just a maid?He can afford it!
