There was a night of turmoil in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Su Xubai had a rare good sleep. When it was about to dawn, he felt that Chengchun beside him seemed to be carefully leaving his arms. She slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at Chengchun who was already half sitting on the bed: "Why did you get up so early?"
"I have to wait in Madam's yard. It's not good to be late." Cheng Chun said as he stood up.
Su Xubai didn't stop her, but just stood up with her. Chengchun quickly pressed down on Su Xubai: "It's still very early. What are you doing up so early? Just sleep a little longer!"
"I can't sleep anymore. I'll get up and wait for you to come back for breakfast!" Su Xubai suddenly approached Cheng Chun and kissed her forehead gently, "Go back early and come back early!"
Cheng Chun was surprised. Since returning to the capital, Su Xubai had spoken to him only a handful of times, and this was the first time he stayed with her. Ah, today it was more like he had become a different person, back to the person he was in Jiangnan.
Su Xubai.
In addition to Chengchun, Hongdou was also surprised.
When they went to pay their respects, Lin Guan'er kept chattering about yesterday's banquet. It could be seen that she was very excited and happy. Mrs. Su listened patiently, while Cheng Chun stood a little distracted.
over there.
Mrs. Su saw Chengchun's absent-mindedness and felt a little strange: "Is there something you haven't done? Look at your look, as if there are nails stuck in the stool. You can't sit still!"
Cheng Chun stood up with some embarrassment: "Fifth Master said in the yard that he would wait for me to go back to have a meal. Fifth Master's stomach is not very good. I am worried that he will hurt his stomach if he uses it too late."
Mrs. Su was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand: "Then you go back first!"
Chengchun was stunned for a moment, and then returned to the yard without stopping.
When she returned to the yard, as expected, Su Xubai was waiting for her in her room. There was a small table covered with dishes. Su Xubai called her and asked her to sit down. She was obviously very familiar with it.
The scene seemed like a world away to her.
Su Xubai served Cheng Chun a bowl of porridge and said softly: "I remember the last time I had dinner with you was when we were in Jiangnan."
Cheng Chun paused, and then said: "Fifth Master is busy with work, and it is inevitable that he will not have time."
Su Xubai just smiled: "Aren't you angry with me? Since I returned to the capital, I rarely care about you!"
"Of course the fifth master has his own things to be busy with. How can he stay in the backyard every day?" Chengchun looked at the porridge in his bowl and said with a smile, "The prince and his wife take good care of me.
, Fifth Master, you don’t have to spend special time on me!”
Su Xubai looked at Chengchun for a long time, then rubbed the top of his head and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, it's best to just stay here!"
Cheng Chun didn't say much, but just ate breakfast with Su Xubai bite by bite.
After the meal, Hongdou cleared the table and brought a bowl of soup. Su Xubai looked at the bowl of soup and frowned slightly: "What is this?"
Hongdou looked at Chengchun with some embarrassment: "This..."
"They are all medicines for replenishing qi and blood!" After Cheng Chun finished speaking, before Su Xubai came to his senses, he took away the medicine and drank it all in one gulp.
The medicine was quite bitter. Chengchun kept frowning in pain and couldn't open his mouth for a long time. Hongdou found a piece of candy and stuffed it into Chengchun's mouth, and Chengchun recovered.
Su Xubai watched her drink the medicine, but said nothing.
Anko took the empty bowl and left the house, closing the door.
Su Xubai looked at Chengchun for a long time, and then said: "Are you still drinking Bizi Soup?"
"As long as the fifth master comes, I have to drink!" Cheng Chun lowered his head and said calmly.
Su Xubai frowned slightly: "Do you know that this medicine is not good for your health? You may not be able to have children in your life."
Chengchun was silent for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said: "I know, but these are the rules of the mansion! Since I want to survive in this mansion, I must abide by the rules of this place!"
"Don't you resent me?" Su Xubai felt very uncomfortable.
"Because I may not be able to get a rich and noble wife. If I give birth to another child, it will be a bad reputation for the fifth master. I always don't want to drag the fifth master down. Besides, giving birth to a child is a matter of near death.
Not having a child is not necessarily a bad thing!" Cheng Chun looked at Su Xubai, his eyes still filled with water.
"Ah Chun, if we can't go back to Jiangnan in this life, will you be sad?" Su Xubai suddenly said.
Cheng Chun was stunned. He looked up at Su Xubai and didn't speak for a long time.
Su Xubai felt sour when she saw her, and finally quickly explained: "I told you, we always have to go back!"
Chengchun smiled and nodded, as if he really didn't take it seriously.
Su Xubai originally wanted to stay here that day, but it wasn't long before he was asked to leave by Isatis. He could only leave with a few friends who came to see him for drinks and chess. Su Xubai just refused.
The backfooter broke into the yard.
Su Xubai was extremely angry, but in the end, he was still dragged away.
After Su Xubai left, Cheng Chun sat there for a long time, and the smile that had been hanging on her face gradually disappeared. She suddenly became a little confused, not knowing what to do or how to do it.
The room was empty. Although it was not big, it gave people a terrible sense of emptiness. Suddenly, Chengchun stood up. She walked to her bed and pulled out a box from under the bed.
Open the box, and what's inside is some real gold and silver.
Su Xubai was generous. Even though she came to the capital, the monthly money in Jiangnan was still given to her every month, so she had accumulated a lot these days. She looked at the real gold and silver in the box and looked at it carefully.
Counting.
Hongdou happened to walk in and said with a smile: "Is the lady counting her private money?"
Cheng Chun smiled: "You have to see how much money you have. I love money as much as my life. I feel at ease when I see money!"
Hongdou didn't laugh at her, but said: "Usually, these real gold and silver in the house look good, but if you want to travel far away, you still have to exchange them for banknotes. Otherwise, if you are walking with such things, if a thief sees it,
, it will inevitably cause trouble!”
"Then why don't you exchange these things for banknotes?" Cheng Chun suddenly said, "Sooner or later we will go back to Jiangnan. When the time comes, changing them all at once will attract attention. It is better to go often and wait for the savings.
If there are more, we will go back to Jiangnan!"
Hongdou just thought she was joking and agreed with a smile: "In a few days, I will go and exchange the silver for banknotes!"
