The Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 100: Hu Xinxue's concern

Views:

Hu Xinxue's already fair face became paler, paler, and paler. Not knowing whether it was shy or frightened, after she got up, she stared at the hot water on the ground blankly.

"You use boiling water?"

"The slave girl thought that when she took off her shoes, the boiling water would become cold." Hu Xinxue looked at Zhu Youjian pitifully. She had already completed the transition from a lady to a servant girl in her heart, but the craftsmanship was far from enough.

"Oh!" Zhu Youjian stroked his feet, the area where he had been scalded just now was red and swollen, like a cooked crayfish.

"The servant girl damn it! The servant girl will pour water on His Royal Highness again, this time I promise that it won't be hot." If you did something wrong, you must apologize. Hu Xinxue learned the tone of her own servant girl before.

"Forget it! If you wait, I can raise a great white shark in my room." After all, Zhu Youzhen, who was barefoot, did not get up.

Hu Xinxue had already picked up the tub that had fallen on the ground and was about to walk to the door. He paused when he heard the words, and then stomped her feet and went out with the tub. Her embroidered shoes were just filled with Zhu Youjian's face wash, and she made a rhythmic "click" when she walked.

After a while, the click came back.

"His Royal Highness, it will not be hot this time." Hu Xinxue put the wooden basin in the only dry place in front of the bed, and gave Zhu Youjian a pair of cloth shoes and asked him to move to the basin to wash his feet.

"I know, I probably used the cold water from the patio this time, so naturally it won't be hot." Zhu Youjian's feet slowly entered the basin and tested the temperature of the water, but it was just right, "It turned out not to be cold water! Haha."

When Hu Xinxue saw Zhu Youjian's feet were completely submerged in the water, she felt relieved, but she gave Zhu Youjian a blank eye.

Zhu You inspected and turned a blind eye.

Hu Xinxue didn't care about him. He picked up Zhu Youzhen's feet and began to rub them in the water. When the little hand touched the swelling on Zhu Youjian's feet, he touched it lightly, but his eyes peeked towards Zhu Youjian.

Fortunately, Zhu Youjian was closing her eyes to rest her mind, and she didn't notice her abnormality.

"His Royal Highness, the feet have been washed. Does Your Highness change clothes or go to bed to rest?"

"I'll lie down on the bed, you go get my changed clothes, and change them tomorrow morning!"

When Hu Xinxue went out to get his clothes, Zhu Youjian took the opportunity to take off his soaked pants, got into the bed, and closed his eyes to refresh himself.

"Here are all the clothes that Your Royal Highness will change tomorrow." Hu Xinxue hugged Zhu Youjian's clothes and put them on the chair.

"Cher, pour me a cup of tea, I'm thirsty."

Hu Xinxue was stunned. This name was like calling her own parents. It was so ambiguous. You are not my parents. She glanced at Zhu Youzhen, but Zhu Youzhen was closing his eyes and ignoring directly.

"His Royal Highness, here comes the tea."

"Is it hot tea or herbal tea this time?" Zhu Youzhen remained unmoved, still leaning against the head of the bed.

"It's warm tea." Hu Xinxue smiled slyly, and the complexion on her face was restored, and her small face became more refined.

"Then, put it here, you also go back and rest!"

"The maidservant is out there. If you have any instructions from your Highness, change the maidservant, and the maidservant will come over immediately."

Zhu Youzhen thought about his thoughts on the bed. One will be a soap factory, one will be the people of Yansui, and another will be the soldiers of Zudashou.

Finally, he practiced magic skills for a while before he fell asleep.

Hu Xinxue's rolling voice came from the bed next door from time to time. I don't know if she has any thoughts or is not used to serving a strange man.

Jingshi, in Xinwangfu in the northeast of the imperial city, there were also people who couldn’t sleep well and got up early.

"Sister Wang, when will your Highness come back?"

"Sister, how many times have I told you, don’t be the princess and princess, this is at home!" Zhou Yufeng was indifferent, watching Wan'er look anxious, but she added fuel to the fire: "His Royal Highness said in her letter that she must stay for the time being. In Shaanxi. Now it’s past autumn, and the Jingshi and Shaanxi are so far apart, I’m afraid they won’t come back for the Singapore dollar."

"Ah? Sister," Wan'er finally changed her words, "Then who will serve your Highness?"

"Isn't there a guard of your Highness over there?" Zhou Yufeng looked as if it had nothing to do with him.

"How can these clumsy soldiers take care of others? Drinking alcohol is almost the same." Wan'er whispered.

"Then what to do?" Zhou Yufeng didn't care about Zhu Youzhen, she knew that someone cared about Zhu Youzhen more than she did.

"Why, elder sister go to Shaanxi to take care of your Royal Highness's diet and daily life?" Wan'er doesn't have as many minds as Zhou Yufeng, she usually just said directly.

"Sister, you are stupid? Daming's official serving outside the capital, who didn't keep his wife as a hostage? Besides, if your Highness is in charge of the troops outside, the sister can't leave the capital anymore." Zhou Yufeng followed the temptation.

"Ao, my sister was impatient for a while, but she was confused." Wan'er's anxiety became even worse, as if Zhu Youzhen was suffering in the eighteenth hell.

"Actually, there is no way." Zhou Yufeng said leisurely, knowing that someone would definitely be hooked.

"Sister, tell me, how can I go to Shaanxi?"

"My sister can't go to Shaanxi, but someone can go!"

"Sister..." Wan'er understood Zhou Yufeng's meaning even if her IQ dropped to zero temporarily. She looked at Zhou Yufeng, rubbing the corners of his clothes with both hands anxiously.

"Sister, Your Royal Highness really needs someone to take care of him--Your Royal Highness is so good, if you bump into a few vixen, you won't be entangled with Your Highness." Zhou Yufeng saw that the fire was almost over, and finally used his assassin.

"Sister, what should I do?" Wan'er was about to cry.

"Sister, my elder sister is restricted by her status and can't go to Shaanxi, but my sister, you can go to Shaanxi to serve your Highness! With a sister, no white fox, black fox, or red fox can get close to your Highness."

"But, this is a thousand miles away..." Wan'er was already keen on her heart, but chasing her husband through a thousand miles... fell in the eyes of her sister...

"What is Qianli afraid of? I don't want my sister to walk, no matter how difficult we believe in the palace, can't it be impossible to hire a sedan chair? Besides, for your Highness, how much money you spend is worth it."

"Sister... Then... Don't laugh at your sister."

"What's the joke? My sister didn't go to Shaanxi alone, but my sister went with her sister's heart."

Zhu Youjian woke up later if he didn't sleep well at night. The success of the soap made Zhu Youjian extremely excited, but Zhu Youjian attributed his insomnia to the sound of rolling the bed next door.

Hu Xinxue had already got up and heard Zhu Youjian's door opening and hurriedly brought her face wash.

Zhu Youzhen was scared of being scalded, and he reached out and touched it. The water temperature was just right, and he sighed in his heart for Miss Hu's cleverness and studious.

"The slave maid must not be the third time." Hu Xinxue knew Zhu Youzhen's thoughts, and felt guilty in her heart. It turned out that the maid was not that easy to do.

"Why do you have dark circles under your eyes? Didn't sleep well last night?" Zhu Youqin asked knowingly.

"Slaves..."

"Let's talk about anything! You are already a believer in the Royal Palace." Zhu Youjian didn't realize it. He didn't know how ambiguous it was to talk to a young girl who hadn't paid the bride price.

"... It's nothing, the servants are not used to the new environment, and they will be well in two days." Hu Xinxue couldn't say it. It hasn't been a day since I met someone. How can I let someone help me so much? Besides, he is just his handmaid now.

Zhu Youjian ignored Hu Xinxue's thoughts. He wanted to organize craftsmen to continue his soap business, so he left early.

The guards also left with Zhuan Zhu Youjian, and only Hu Xinxue remained in the whole room.

Hu Xinxue suddenly felt empty in her heart, like this empty house.

She is doing a fierce ideological struggle.

Do you want to tell him? Will he help himself

Say, you may be rejected; don’t say, there will never be a chance.

Hu Xinxue spent a whole day in this entanglement, and even forgot to eat lunch.

Zhu Youjian came back after dinner. The noise of the soldiers finally made the house alive again.

Zhu Youzhen finished washing his feet and was about to go to the study.

Hu Xinxue walked out with the footwashing water, and when she was about to reach the door, she turned around and took a look at Zhu Youqian before leaving silently.

"Xue'er, what's the matter?"

Hu Xinxue turned her head again, glanced at Zhu Youzhen, hesitated to speak, and looked so worried that even the kindergarten children could see it.

Ao, I understand, Zhu Youjian thought for a while, "Xue'er, you go and pour the water first, and then come over, I have something to ask you."

"Yes, Your Highness." She walked very resolutely this time, and soon returned to Zhu Youjian's bedroom.

"Xue'er, I understand your thoughts." Zhu Youjian looked at Hu Xinxue's eyes, "You don't want to be my handmaid?"

"..." Hu Xinxue shook her head quickly, and resolutely denied Zhu Youjian's guess, a disappointment in her eyes.

"That's for your parents." Zhu Youzhen didn't wait for her veto. "Do you want them to enter the land for safety?"

Hu Xinxue's eyes lit up, and Baba looked at Zhu Youjian as if he was a kidnapped child. After being verbally abused, beaten and humiliated, he finally saw his parents.

"Tell me about your parents!" Zhu Youzhen was originally not interested in these people. According to the concept of later generations, they are all dead. No matter how they die, they will not be wronged.

"Your Majesty, the maidservant's mother died in the chaos a few months ago, now I am afraid... I am afraid there is no bones left." Hu Xinxue really wanted to cry happily, but in front of Zhu Youjian, she didn't dare Too indulgent, so it turned into sobbing: "But the servant's father... Father's head is passing the first three sides..."

"This is what the emperor meant, and I can't help it-counting the time, has it been passed on by the three sides?"

"Yeah." Hu Xinxue nodded vigorously, "It should be long ago."

"Well, tomorrow I will send someone to ask Zu Dashou to ask about your father's first level. You can bury it another day!"

"His Royal Highness will really help the slaves?" Hu Xinxue's eyes widened, and she couldn't wait to open Zhu Youzhen's heart with her eyes to see if she really wanted to help her.

"Of course." Zhu Youjian was also afraid of Hu Xinxue's gaze that killed the man, "I didn't care about these things, but now you are a person who believes in the palace, of course I have to help you. The dead are dead, no matter how they lived. , Let them rest early after death!"

"Maid slave, thank you, Your Majesty." Hu Xinxue "poof", knelt down at Zhu Youzhen's feet, "The slave servant is willing to be a cow and a horse for His Royal Highness. , And be a cow and a horse for His Highness."

"What do you do to be a cow or a horse? Just be a man. Everyone who believes in the palace must live a good life and be a good man."
