When Hua Qingxue opened her eyes, she found herself being held in a very warm embrace. She turned around and looked into Fu Tingye's narrow, deep eyes.
I don’t know how long he had been awake, so why didn’t he wake himself up
"...Aren't you tired if you keep this posture all night?" Hua Qingxue was very curious.
The corner of Fu Tingye's mouth twitched, and he stiffly pulled out his hand. As expected, he found that his whole body was sore, but... it was worth it to be able to hold her to sleep.
"Don't do this again." Hua Qingxue rubbed her eyes and said seriously: "There used to be a man who would sleep with his wife in his arms and use his own arms as pillows. As a result, the muscles became necrotic the next day and the whole arm was damaged. It’s useless.”
Before... ahem, it was her original world.
Fu Tingye's eyes moved with a look of contempt: "That man is so weak."
"What?" Hua Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then realized that Fu Tingye's eight-stone bow arm strength had been trained on the battlefield for many years, so his physique was naturally much stronger, and in her previous world... everyone seemed to be in poor health.
If you think about it this way, that's right.
"Pfft, that's so weak, haha." Hua Qingxue smiled. If she took this sentence back to that world, it is estimated that 90% of the men would jump in anger, haha.
"General, my cousin sent a girl over to remind you that it's time to go to the mourning hall. The funeral will be held today." Hai Shixuan heard the two people talking outside and knew they were awake, so he dared to send a weak message.
Hua Qingxue raised her head and looked at Fu Tingye. His original sense of relief when he woke up in the morning was instantly replaced by a wave of exhaustion.
"I know." Fu Tingye replied lazily.
"How about you let me go and offer incense to the old lady?" Hua Qingxue suggested: "Although the old lady was a little unhappy with me during her lifetime, since I am now in the Hou Mansion and so close to her mourning hall, It would be inappropriate not to burn some incense."
Fu Tingye felt warm in his heart, his woman understood justice well.
"No." However, he still refused decisively: "If you have this intention, it will be the same if you burn it in this yard."
"Oh, that's true." Hua Qingxue nodded. As a person who was raised with a purely materialistic and objective mind, burning incense and worshiping Buddha are actually for the comfort of the living person. Thinking about it this way, it is indeed the same no matter where you burn incense.
"But..." Fu Tingye suddenly thought of his mother's instructions on her deathbed and looked hesitant.
"What's wrong?" Hua Qingxue had already sat up. The two of them just hugged each other and slept without taking off their clothes. However, when the quilt was suddenly lifted, it was still a bit cold, and she couldn't help but hug her arms.
Fu Tingye also sat up and hugged her again: "I'm afraid I have to discuss something with you."
"Say it." Hua Qingxue looked back at him, her clear eyes without any trace of dust, which made Fu Tingye find it difficult to speak.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later." After Fu Tingye finished speaking, he got out of bed and in a flash, he was already out of the courtyard.
Hua Qingxue was a little confused: "Why do you need to hesitate like this?"
…
During Mrs. Fu's funeral, the funeral procession was noisy, and almost the entire Hou Mansion could hear the mourning and music.
Hua Qingxue simply burned some paper money, incense and candles for Mrs. Fu in the yard. The next moment, she heard faint crying, which seemed to come from outside the yard. She followed the sound and was about to go out. He was caught in time by Haishixuan.
"Madam, madam! Where are you going?"
Hua Qingxue looked at him and listened carefully: "Sea cucumber leader, didn't you hear this sound?"
The sea cucumber collar blinked and looked confused: "What is the sound?"
Hua Qingxue frowned: "That shouldn't be the case. Although you soldiers are tough, there are obviously people crying. Didn't you hear them?"
Nervous... What the hell is this.
The sea cucumber leader cursed in his heart, but he only dared to curse in his heart, because all the women in this house were his aunts and he couldn't afford to offend him.
"Listening to what Madam said, I did hear some sounds." The sea cucumber leader listened carefully and suddenly shouted: "Damn it!"
After saying that, he turned around and followed the sound with the two guards. It was easy to catch the instigator by the lake outside the yard.
A girl from the Hou Mansion, Zijuan.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't cry here, go cry somewhere else!" Hai Shixuan was upset by her crying, but he also knew that this girl was served by Mrs. Fu, so he didn't scold her loudly.
Zijuan had a pair of bubbly eyes, which were red and swollen: "Master Jun, please show mercy and let me cry here for a while, otherwise... otherwise I won't have anywhere to cry."
What is this nonsense
Hai Shixuan couldn't help but choked: "The Hou Mansion is so big, why do you choose to cry here? Is it possible that you are not allowed to cry in other places?"
When Zijuan heard this, her eyes were filled with tears and runny nose again, and she looked extremely embarrassed: "Of course there are, but... it's just that some people can't stand it..."
Of course, without waiting for Hai Shixuan to answer, he left with small steps.
"Some people... who could they be?" Hai Shixuan took a long breath: "Why is there such a gloomy atmosphere everywhere in the Marquis' Mansion? It's really uncomfortable wherever I look!"
"Leader Sea Cucumber, you're right. It's not satisfying to serve some girls and women here. It's better to be on the front line, free and honest." The guard on the side answered, also full of complaints.
The sea cucumber leader glared at him: "Did I ask you to answer the conversation? You are too talkative!"
The guard quickly shut up and retreated.
Hai Shixuan glanced at him and went straight back.
After the two guards waited for him to go away, they both looked at each other: "The sea cucumber collar has become very sharp-tongued..."
"Yes, yes, it must be because the yin energy in this house is too strong, and the sea cucumber collar has become girly."
…
Cheng Wanmiao followed Fu Tingye to deliver Mrs. Fu's coffin to the cemetery. The workers were busy. She saw Zijuan coming back from a distance and found a way to go over: "How is it? Did you see it?"
Zijuan shook her head and whispered: "No one saw it, but I heard Sea Cucumber Ling talking to a woman."
She actually heard it!
That must be that bitch Hua Qingxue.
"They didn't find you, did they?" Cheng Wanmiao asked cautiously.
Zijuan Yaoyaotou: "That idiot who was led by Sea Cucumber was so drunk that he fooled me. I just cried and cried, and he was overflowing with sympathy."
Cheng Wanmiao nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay, I'm just doing my job." Zijuan replied respectfully.
In the past, Mrs. Fu was in charge, and she was the Mrs. Fu's caring little cotton-padded jacket. Now that the Hou Mansion is headed by her cousin, she also followed the current situation and took care of Cheng Wanmiao.
Everyone likes people who know current affairs, so Cheng Wanmiao looked at her differently.
The ancients paid great attention to rituals, so it took a whole day to bury Mrs. Fu's coffin.
Cheng Wanmiao saw that Fu Tingye remained silent throughout the whole process and looked cold and deep, so she thought that she might feel a little guilty towards her aunt.
"Cousin, even though my aunt was very angry with you during her lifetime, she was still very kind to you after all. I still remember that time in Nanzhao, when you were caught, my aunt was so anxious that her heart was pierced, and she was in pain all night. install."
Fu Tingye was silent, but something crystal clear flashed through his eyes.
Cheng Wanmiao caught all this and was delighted, and continued to send out tenderness cards: "Now it seems that my aunt is also a pitiful person."
Fu Tingye finally nodded: "Go back."
"Yeah." Cheng Wanmiao said obediently and said no more words.
Maybe some things need to be done step by step.
On the other hand, her previous actions were indeed a bit radical, which was why she annoyed her cousin again and again.
But Cheng Wanmiao didn't know that a large part of the reason why Fu Tingye looked at her differently was due to Mrs. Fu's dying instructions.
…
When Lu Zhengqing came today, there was a medicine boy behind him.
The man was dressed plainly and had a low eyebrow, making it difficult for people to notice his presence if they weren't paying attention.
"It's just a routine matter, why don't you bring a follower with you?" Hua Qingxue deliberately teased Lu Zhengqing while he was checking her pulse.
Lu Zhengqing didn't have time to joke with her, so he wrote the recipe as usual, handed it to the guard, and told the frying method and so on.
After explaining everything, he suddenly turned around and closed the door. This series of actions was so fast that Hua Qingxue didn't even react: "What are you doing?"
Lu Zhengqing glanced at her and urged: "Change clothes."
this…
Hua Qingxue was stunned for a moment, and then she noticed that the little medicine boy beside him was quickly taking off his clothes, and finally realized!
Very good!
It’s finally time to leave!
She didn't hesitate, she quickly took off her coat, took the man's clothes, and quickly put them on herself.
Suddenly, a flash of blood fell into her eyes, and Hua Qingxue almost screamed: "You! You, you, you..."
After taking off her coat, she discovered that the medicine boy, who looked very inconspicuous, had a wound bandaged on his leg, and the gauze was still red.
"Why is this?" Hua Qingxue took a breath.
Lu Zhengqing smiled slightly: "The general ordered me to do the whole show."
"Yesterday they already spread the news about the injured soldiers..."
The implication is that the whole scene of wounded soldiers should be performed
"But... it doesn't seem very humane." Although Hua Qingxue knew that she was a bit like the White Lotus of the Virgin Mary when she said this, she was still quite shocked by seeing the blood with her own eyes.
"Extraordinary times naturally lead to extraordinary rules. You still have time to take care of others, so take care of yourself first." Lu Zhengqing hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, and urged: "Have you changed it yet? Hurry up, they have about the same time. Be back soon."
"Leave while the general is away?" Hua Qingxue felt something was wrong: "Isn't this the most unsafe time..."
The reason why Fu Tingye kept her by his side was undoubtedly because she was the safest around him and could handle her if anything happened.
But now that they are delivering the coffin for burial, the Hou Mansion's troops are limited, and I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of them if something goes wrong.
That's why Hua Qingxue is so worried.
"Don't worry, the general is already on his way back, and we will go out in a fair and aboveboard manner, so no one will doubt us." Lu Zhengqing almost promised, patting his chest.
Hua Qingxue nodded subconsciously: "Oh."
After changing clothes and bunning her hair, she followed Lu Zhengqing out of the yard.
There were guards at the front and back leading the way and guarding him. He walked quickly and arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion in a short time.
