Queen Flower

After the assignment was over, Jiang Lan had to take up her post. Fortunately, today was the first night. Chu Huaiyu and Liu Shi were reluctant to part in the study, and she had nothing to do with her.

Liu Shi wiped away her tears and said, "Master Hou, let the concubine stay to serve tonight. The concubine is really worried." Her eyes slipped around Chu Huaiyu and returned to Shen Qun.

Shen Qun leaned on the thick cushion, shook his head and said in a soft and low voice: "You should also go to rest early, pay attention to your body, and Han Yu wants you to take care of it."

Chu Huaiyu put the handkerchief on her face, covered her eyes, and put it down and pinched it in her palm, "Sister Liu, Lord Hou is sympathetic to us, let's not ignore the overall situation, you take good care of Han Yu, so that Lord Hou can feel at ease. ."

Liu Shi lowered her head halfway, "That's right, the concubine's body is in a mess, everything is arranged by the wife."

Jiang Lan watched the play silently on the side. The rumors were right. Shen Qun was indeed a person who was gentle towards his wives and concubines, and this one wife and one concubine, on the surface, still got along in harmony. A thorn in the eye. However, what surprised her was that Chu Huaiyu was actually called Sister Liu. It seemed that filling a house was always an indescribable pain.

The sky was already dark, and the oil lamps were flickering with dim yellow light.

Chu Huaiyu stood up, "It's getting late, Lord Hou rest early, Sister Liu, let's go." She looked at Jiang Lan again, "Take good care of Lord Hou."

Jiang Lan nodded and said yes, and they left the study one after another, leaving only Jiang Lan and Shen Qun.

Jiang Lan closed the door and stood silently in a dim corner. This was the first time she had been alone with Shen Qun. If it wasn't for the awkward status of being a roommate, it would be nothing. The most important thing is that a man who is self-respecting and abiding by etiquette should have no interest in her.

Jiang Lan wanted to sleep a bit, but she had to cheer herself up. She didn't know how to serve him well. His basic needs have been solved. Now, should he just stand here and wait until he falls asleep? Can you just lie down anywhere on the ground overnight?

Shen Qun didn't fall asleep immediately. He picked up a book beside the bed and read it. Jiang Lan hurried over to adjust the oil lamp to the brightest, and then moved it to the low cabinet beside the bed.

She glanced at it secretly. It was a "Jiangzhou Diary". Did you forget to handle official business when you were injured? Jiang Lan nodded and praised in his heart, but he was still a good official.

Shen Qun suddenly glanced at her and said, "Are you literate?"

Jiang Lan stood aside and replied respectfully: "The slave's father is a private school gentleman, so he knows some words."

Shen Qun put down the book in his hand and leaned against the bedside, "Aren't you a girl from the Chu residence?"

"The slaves were sold into the Chu Mansion, not the Chu Mansion's family to have children." Jiang Lan replied.

Shen Qun nodded, no wonder that since Chu Qingcheng liked her to serve, he was able to send her to the Shen residence because he didn't know her at all. He asked, "My wife's elder brother is always eccentric, and he never let the maid serve him, so why did he ask you to go?"

Jiang Lan felt weird, how could a man ask about these mother-in-laws? But he had to answer: "Chu Gongzi paints, let me grind ink on the side."

Shen Qun sighed: "Alian is always here...but, alas..."

Jiang Lan knew that it was for her own little sister to get news. She couldn't help but think of that night scouting. She felt sorry for this brother. When he was making out with his wife, he hadn't forgotten to help his sister.

This is still a good brother, which is really enviable. Jiang Lan sighed in her heart that she has always been envious of other people's elder brothers. When she was a child, she thought about how nice it would be if she also had an elder brother who loved her.

Shen Qun closed his eyes, "Take a quilt and sleep in the corner, I'll call you if something happens."

Jiang Lan stepped forward and took the cushion for him, let him lie down slowly, and then tucked the quilt. She put the oil lamp back to its original place and turned it to the darkest, found a quilt beside the cabinet and spread it in the corner, then turned off the oil lamp and went to sleep.

Jiang Lan didn't dare to fall asleep. He was always half asleep and half awake. Shen Qun soon fell asleep. Probably the wound was painful and his breathing was a little heavy, but he was quiet all night, and he didn't ask Jiang Lan to get up and serve.

When Chu Huaiyu came over in the morning, Jiang Lan really felt that the night went by very quickly. Although he was a little tired from lack of sleep, on the whole, it was not as uncomfortable as he imagined.

Jiang Lan got the opportunity to make up for her sleep that day. After all, she wanted to serve the Lord Hou with all her heart, so she didn't have anything to do that day. Naturally, during the day, Chu Huaiyu and Liu Shi took care of Shen Qun.

In the evening, Jin Zhi dressed up and took office. Jiang Lan thinks, it's better to keep a low profile at this time. What are you doing in dressing up? Is it possible that you can still do other things when you are injured like this? It looks like this Lord Shen is not like that.

One night passed, when Jin Zhi came back, his face was gray and there was a large circle of black shadows under his eyes, like a giant panda, Jiang Lan was startled, "How did you do this?"

Jin Zhi yawned, "Oh, I didn't close my eyes all night, I just looked at Lord Hou from the side. I didn't dare to sleep, because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hear when Lord Lord asked me to wait."

She blinked her eyes blankly, "This is the first time I've been so close to Lord Marquis. I'm so excited that I can't sleep." Suddenly she blindfolded her eyes again, with a shy blush on her face, and said vaguely, "Master Marquis is really A gentle man."

Jiang Lan was stunned. He really is not from the same world. Jin Zhi is so cute.

This night, since Hong Ling was on duty, both of them went to bed early. Jiang Lan was thinking about something, while Jin Zhi was still dreaming, when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Jiang Lan quickly put on her clothes and opened the door. Caixia stood outside and reprimanded, "The master didn't sleep, but the servant went to sleep first. Jiang Feng, hurry up, come with me."

Jiang Lan had to follow her quickly, and Caixia said as she walked, "Hong Ling offended Lord Hou and was kicked out of the study. Lord Hou designated you to serve."

"Offended Lord Hou?" Jiang Lan was at a loss, Shen Qun was very good at serving, how could he offend him? She looked at Caixia's deep eyes, and suddenly understood. How else can you be blamed? What is the greatest career for a maid in the house? She remembered a word she often saw when she read Zhai Douwen - bed climbing. Tonight is already the third day of Shen Qun's injury. Does Hong Ling feel that Shen Qun has recovered a certain ability so that he can do something? This is indeed what Hong Ling will do.

Jiang Lan shouted in his heart, what are you doing in such a hurry, you just rushed into the study, can't you wait until the morning to talk about it? I heard that in the morning, it's easier, and you can spend a night to get acquainted with it. Well now, doesn't this make her unlucky? I could have slept through the night today.

It was really a fire at the city gate, which affected Chiyu.
