Chapter 23

Views:

Gu Sui'er slowly woke up to the sound of wind and rain.

When I opened my eyes, I could hear the slight sound of wind blowing on the window outside the tent, and the sound of water droplets on the eaves falling on the steps.

She thought, it turned out that not only was it windy last night, but it also rained.

In the autumn rain season, it rains a little and the sky becomes a little cooler. It seems like it is really going to get cold.

In the past, in the village, when this season came, her mother would rummage through the boxes and take out the winter clothes she had saved, dry them in the sun and mend the holes. If they were too thin, she would add some old cotton covers to prepare for the cold winter.

It took her a while to remember that she was in Ruidinghou Mansion, and the people here lived a prosperous life. They never worried about winter clothes, they would only be happy for a poem, and sigh for the fallen leaves in autumn. .

She turned sideways and planned to get up. As she moved, she realized that there was another person lying next to her.

Xiao Heng.

After being stunned for a moment, I slowly remembered last night. When I remembered, my face was like the glow reflected in the white jade, and the face slowly turned crimson.

This bed belonged to her alone. She was used to sleeping on it, but now it felt strange to have a man lying on it.

She lay there quietly, looking at the man's side face innocently.

When talking about men using beautiful jade, it is definitely not suitable for ordinary men, but for him, it is just right.

She had never seen him sleeping with his eyes closed. Now that she looked closer, she realized that he looked better when he was sleeping than during the day.

During the day, I always feel that this person is aloof and good-looking, but like the ice and snow on the mountain, it is difficult for people to get close to him.

Now that she was asleep and lying flat on her back, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Without those dark eyes that were so deep that they seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, the man's sharpness suddenly disappeared.

The black willow eyebrows are just right everywhere, neither wide nor narrow, the straight nose is high, like a straight mountain peak, and below it is the lips...

Looking at his lips, she couldn't help but think of that day. Her face turned red and she didn't dare to think about it. She could only think of other things desperately. She thought of last night and couldn't help but wonder what he had encountered in the palace. Was the emperor the emperor? He was punished, why did he stand in front of her bed without saying a word after he came back and look at her.

Just as he was thinking about it, the man with his eyes closed opened his eyes.

Caught off guard, Gu Sui'er was frightened.

She was staring at him very close to him, and now he suddenly opened his eyes. The unsuspecting man who was sleeping disappeared and was replaced by the majestic and cold person during the day.

Being so close to him made her feel guilty and timid.

After being silent for a long time, she slowly retreated.

He reached out and grabbed her shoulders, preventing her from escaping.

So her figure was frozen, the two people were eye to eye, nose to nose, only a fist apart.

Those eyes were so deep that it seemed as if they could not see the bottom of the cold pool. Looking at it so closely, Gu Sui'er felt like she was being sucked in by those eyes.

She bit her lip, so embarrassed that she didn't know where to turn her eyes.

Xiao Heng had actually woken up a long time ago, he was just too lazy to open his eyes.

The warm fragrance of nephrite next to him made him want to lie there all the time.

Later she woke up and secretly looked at him while lying next to him, and she knew it.

He suddenly opened his eyes, not to scare her, but just to look at her.

Now that he saw her wet and dark eyes rolling around, her fine white teeth biting her red lips, she looked so innocent and charming, he couldn't help it.

But she was pregnant and he didn't dare to do anything.

After staring at the beautiful blush in her ear for a moment, he finally stood up: "It's getting late, let's get up and have a meal."

Gu Sui'er looked at him with eyes that were about to burst into flames, her heart was pounding and her face was red and her ears were hot. Unexpectedly, his face suddenly turned pale and she nodded quickly: "Well... okay."

At this time, Xiao Heng started to get up to get dressed.

When Gu Sui'er saw it, she suddenly remembered that she was the one who should serve Xiao Heng. Should she dress Xiao Heng

But she didn't know how to wear it. It would be nice if Nanny An was here to give her some guidance.

Thinking of this, she looked outside the house for help.

It's a pity that Grandma An is not here.

At this time, Xiao Heng had already settled down and took the broad robe next to him.

Gu Sui'er stepped forward bravely: "Third Master, let me help you get dressed."

Xiao Heng glanced at her with some surprise. With her clear and misty eyes, her frail and slender figure, and her bulging belly supporting her white middle coat, she was like a beautiful flower blooming in the morning. The small flowers and thin stems cannot support the huge belly.

But he said that he would serve him and dress him.

He looked at her silently, but somehow he didn't refuse.

So Gu Sui'er stepped forward, took the robe from his hand, unfolded it, and tried to put it on him.

But despite how tall he was, she was so petite. She was worried about her toes before putting on the left sleeve for him, and then served the right one.

After putting on all the sleeves, she started to put on his belt.

But how to tie it, she had never tied it for a man before, and where should this lining be placed inside the robe

She is worried.

Xiao Heng just lowered his head, smelling the faint fragrance that entered his nose, and watched this delicate woman busy around him for a long time, but stopped moving. Looking down, she frowned and looked at her chest, as if she was worried about how to start and was in a dilemma.

He didn't say anything, just looked at her.

Finally, her eyes lit up, and she seemed to have an idea, and she wanted to go around behind him again.

Unexpectedly, when she lifted her feet, she tripped on the laces underneath, and she screamed.

She almost fell down, so he quickly reached out to hold her up.

Only when he made a move did she realize the difference between men and women.

The man's arms were as steady as iron, holding her delicate body firmly, and then held her shoulders with both hands.

Gu Sui'er lowered her head and bit her lip, not daring to look at Xiao Heng.

"Third Master... I'm fine... Can I continue to dress you?"

serve

Xiao Heng stared at her, how dare he ask her to serve him again.

He first helped her sit down, then put her robe on neatly, and then pulled her clothes over.

Yes, he did pull it over three times, five times five times two times.

"Huh?" She was surprised to see her soft clothes being held in his hands, feeling a little shy and more confused.

What is he going to do

Xiao Heng started to help her get dressed.

Gu Sui'er suddenly turned into a wooden man.

She did whatever he asked her to do. When he asked her to raise her hand, she quickly raised her hand.

He also helped her tie the frenulum above her belly and tied it loosely to avoid snagging the tadpoles in her belly.

Through the clothes, he touched her belly.

"Why didn't you move this morning?" He remembered that her belly would bulge from time to time.

"He loves to move after I eat something." Gu Sui'er said in a low voice.

"Then let's eat first."

***************************

Breakfast consists of thin-skinned spring cocoon buns, milk-skinned sesame pancakes, and butterfly rolls, along with milk soup and yellow rice porridge. Since Gu Sui'er is currently pregnant, the eldest lady ordered that an extra dish be added every morning. , today I added two cooked and fried fish.

Normally, Gu Sui'er ate alone and just set up a small table. Now that Xiao Heng was suddenly present, the small table felt cramped. However, he couldn't find such a suitable table for a while, so he had to make do.

The food was set, and Gu Sui'er ate with Xiao Heng.

During the meal, Gu Sui'er thought of what happened yesterday and always wanted to ask him, but she didn't know how to ask.

After doing this several times, Xiao Heng finally raised his head: "Is something wrong?"

When Gu Sui'er saw him asking, she hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I just thought that the third master seemed to have entered the palace last night?"

Seeing the worried look in her eyes, Xiao Heng said, "It's nothing. I entered the palace and the emperor said a few words."

Gu Sui'er: "What then?"

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows: "What else can be done?"

Gu Sui'er was speechless for a moment.

Xiao Heng: "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, just take care of your baby with peace of mind."

Gu Sui'er looked at Xiao Heng quietly: "Won't it cause trouble for the third master?"

Xiao Heng heard this and said calmly: "No."

Gu Sui'er finally felt relieved after hearing this.

Although she didn't understand why Xiao Heng was still safe after offending the princess, she felt that there were too many things that she didn't understand, so she didn't need to figure it out.

It was enough for her to know that he wouldn't get into trouble.

Then he pursed his lips and smiled softly: "Thank you, Third Master, for protecting Sui'er."

Xiao Heng looked at her smiling with shy eyebrows and rosy cheeks. He felt a little uncomfortable, so he casually changed the subject: "Why don't you eat that fish?"

The two cooked and fried fish were golden brown, crispy and shiny on both sides. They looked quite delicious, but Gu Sui'er never moved her chopsticks.

Gu Sui'er glanced at the fish and explained in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's a little cold, so I don't dare to eat it."

Her gastrointestinal condition was not good. She ate some meat last time and it was cold. She felt uncomfortable in her stomach that day. After that, if there is something meaty and cold from the morning meal, let the people below eat it.

After hearing this, Xiao Heng took out some with his chopsticks and tasted it. It was indeed cold.

It turns out that the Mid-Autumn Festival is already on August 15th. The weather is not bad, whether it is hot or cold, but because it rained last night, the weather is cold.

The kitchen in the house is large, and there is a lot of care in it. A plate of fried fish was specially prepared in advance. From the moment it was fried and placed there, to the time when the maid went over to take the fried fish and placed it on the table in front of Gu Sui'er, there was nothing in between. By that time, it had already become cold.

Others, such as steamed buns and milk, are fine since they are placed in the large stove.

Seeing Xiao Heng's expression of hesitation, Gu Sui'er hurriedly said: "I can't blame others. It's actually getting cold now, so I made fried fish specially, so I must have prepared it early. Besides, my stomach is not good at digestion. A simple meal is enough, but I can’t get used to eating such big fish and meat.”

Xiao Heng was silent for a moment, but said: "There are many people in the Hou Mansion. The eldest lady is in charge of the middle feed, so there must be some that cannot be taken care of. As for the kitchen, they have to take care of the meals of the old lady and the madam, as well as the grandmothers and young masters below. , it is inevitable that I have made some omissions. Tomorrow I will go back to my wife and set up a small stove in Tingzhuyuan to heat up some simple meals for you, so that if you get hungry in the morning or evening, you can eat with ease."

When Gu Sui'er heard this, she hurriedly said: "How can that be done? No need!"

She has been in the Marquis' Mansion for a long time, and she knows to some extent the rules in the Marquis' Mansion. The Hou Mansion is not like that small family, where everything is casual.

In this prince's mansion, there are several things that need to be strictly investigated, one is that the door is closed, and the other is the fire in private.

The former one is to establish house rules to prevent thieves and thefts, while the latter one is to prevent fires.

If a private stove is to be built in each courtyard, it must be approved by the eldest lady, and there must be dedicated servants and maids to guard it. There are rules.

Nowadays, in the Hou Mansion, apart from the old lady and the eldest lady, there are only two young ladies who have their own private kitchens because they have young masters and young ladies. The others, even Xiao Jin, do not have such treatment.

So when Gu Sui'er heard this, she quickly said no, she didn't want that, it was not worth the trouble!

However, as soon as she said no, Xiao Heng glanced at her lightly.

When he looked at her like this, she suddenly became half shorter.

I feel that I was wrong, very wrong, guilty, and unreasonable.

She lowered her head and said in a low voice: "You really don't need it. Aunt An always asks Qingyue to go to the kitchen to bring two large pots of boiling water in the morning and evening. If you need something to drink, just mix it with water. I can eat anything, I have a good appetite."

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and asked quietly: "Don't you have trouble digesting your intestines?"

When Gu Sui'er thought of what she had just said, she was so ashamed that she wanted to get under the table.

After thinking hard for a while, I finally came up with an explanation and said weakly: "I'm not good at eating meat, but everything else is pretty good..."

However, Xiao Heng obviously didn't believe it.

"I'll go tell the eldest lady, you don't have to think too much."
