After sending Cheng Huailiang and Qin Huaidao away, it was already getting late, so Chen Jingke returned to his small courtyard to prepare for a rest.
I just don't know what happened, but Yi Nu angrily ignored him and wanted to twist his flesh off during the massage.
"Yi Nu."
"Um."
"Have I offended you?"
"snort."
"Tell me carefully... Ouch, are you giving a massage or killing someone?"
"snort."
Although he was still angry, the strength in his hands returned to normal.
Chen Jingke no longer thought about massaging her, so he pulled her in front of him and said, "Stop pressing it. Come on, let me tell you who made our Yi Nu angry."
Yi Nu's expression was a little unnatural, but he still raised his chin angrily: "Humph."
Chen Jingke said speechlessly: "Hey, hey, you're a pig, right? Forget it, I'm too lazy to take care of you, I'm going to take a bath. Don't come over, I also have a temper, I won't let you serve me today."
After saying that, he got up and went to the bathroom next door.
Yi Nu subconsciously wanted to follow him, but realized that he was still angry and quickly stopped. He hesitated but still did not follow.
Yuzhu had already prepared bath water. Seeing that he was the only one coming, she asked, "Where's Sister Yinu, why didn't you come here?"
Chen Jingke said angrily: "I'm angry. Ignore her. Come and take a bath with me."
After saying that, without even taking off her clothes, she pulled her and jumped directly into the pool.
After a lot of trouble, Chen Jingke sat in the pool, holding the jade beads in his arms and asked: "What's wrong with Yi Nu? It's like eating gunpowder."
Yuzhu's pretty face turned red and she whispered: "Ms. Xue gave birth to a son. Sister Yi Nu is envious and is angry with you."
Chen Jingke never expected this to be the reason. He was speechless and said: "She really wants to have a child? Didn't she see that Mrs. Xue almost died before giving birth to the child?"
Yuzhu hesitated and said: "Sister Yi Nu really wants to have children, so she secretly made a lot of children's clothes..."
Chen Jingke was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief: "Children's clothes?"
Yuzhu glanced at the next door and said, "Please keep your voice down...just hide it under her cabinet."
Chen Jingke was silent for a long time. He had always thought that Yi Nu only wanted a guarantee before he wanted a child. Now it seems that the situation may be different from what he imagined.
But how old is she?
Wait, that's not right.
He suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "You have been here at Zixiao for two years. How much have you grown?"
Yuzhu's face lit up when he mentioned his height, and he said, "I've grown five centimeters."
Centimeters, decimeters, and meters are the unique length units of Zixiaoguan and have been used in a small area. For example, in order to highlight its influence, Taoism promotes this set of standards privately.
Chen Jingke asked again: "Has your sister Yi Nu ever measured her height?"
Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then realized the problem and exclaimed in a low voice: "Sister Yi Nu seems... it seems..."
Chen Jingke said: "There doesn't seem to be any change, right?"
"Yeah." Yuzhu nodded repeatedly, and then said with a sympathetic face: "Sister Yinu is so pitiful, I really need to comfort her more."
Chen Jingke thought that things might not be that simple, but he did not say this to Yuzhu, but said jokingly:
"Your sister Yi Nu wants to have a child. Do you want to have a child?"
Yuzhu hesitated for a while before saying: "Think..."
Chen Jingke knew her child's character and was probably frightened by those pregnant women with difficult labor. He smiled and said, "You can't even think about it. Wait until you are eighteen years old."
Living in Zixiaoguan, one is exposed to medical skills every day, and Yuzhu knows a lot about medical knowledge. She knows that giving birth to children too early is bad for a woman's health, so she doesn't think there is anything wrong with having a child at the age of eighteen.
After taking a shower, Chen Jingke went back to his room to rest.
The next day he found an excuse to take out the jade beads, called Yi Nu over, and said, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Yi Nu bit her lip and said angrily: "This little girl Yuzhu must have chewed her tongue again. Let's see if I don't tear her mouth to pieces."
Chen Jingke glanced at her and said calmly: "That's not it."
Yi Nu's eyes flickered, a hint of shame appeared on his face, and he said: "Those children's clothes..."
Chen Jingke interrupted her and said, "You know, that's not what I asked."
Yi Nu's face turned pale and she collapsed on the ground. Chen Jingke felt a pain in his heart and subconsciously wanted to reach out to help her, but he remembered his purpose and held back.
Deliberately pretending to be cold, he said: "It seems you have thought of it?"
Yi Nu did not answer, but fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
Chen Jingke didn't know if she was pretending to cry or if she was really crying. He deliberately wanted to ignore her. But he couldn't get over the test in his heart, so he sighed, held her in his arms and comforted her:
"Why are you crying? I didn't say I don't want you. Everyone knows that the saint and my aunt arranged for me to be the spy, but they just pretend not to know."
Hearing this, Yi Nu stopped crying and asked with sobs: "Do you know everything?"
Chen Jingke said angrily: "What's so difficult to guess? I don't know exactly who is involved, but you and Yuzhu are definitely the most suspicious."
Yi Nu glanced at him secretly and asked in a low voice: "Then why do you still..."
Chen Jingke said calmly: "I am not going to do anything to betray the saint and my aunt. It is good for everyone to keep you by my side."
Yi Nu breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Jingke continued: "Originally, I didn't want to make this clear. Some things are not necessarily a good thing if they are revealed. But yesterday I suddenly discovered something, and I felt uneasy if I didn't understand it."
Yi Nu had also regained his senses and said solemnly: "Ask me anything, and I will tell you everything."
Chen Jingke touched her head and said, "You have been with me for two years, but you haven't changed at all. I want to know how old you are."
Yi Nu's heart was indeed abnormal. At this point, she had nothing to hide. She said, "I am nineteen years old this year..."
Chen Jingke said in surprise: "Nineteen years old? It's really... I'm so lucky."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, the stone in Yi Nu's heart fell again and he said: "Yes, I am naturally petite and look as young as ten years old, so the queen asked me to serve you."
Chen Jingke nodded and said, "Okay, that's all you need to know. You don't need to tell me anything else. Don't tell your aunt that I discovered your identity, so as not to make the meeting awkward."
Yi Nu asked carefully: "You really don't want to know?"
Chen Jingke said: "Nonsense, what's the use of knowing it. From now on, you can just serve me honestly. If my aunt asks you for any information, you can just give it to her without covering it up."
Yi Nu's hanging heart was completely relieved, and he burst into tears and said with a smile: "I know... You are so kind, Zhenren."
Chen Jingke pinched her buttocks gently and said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't this really bad before?"
"Ah..." Yi Nu exclaimed softly and said quickly: "Okay, okay, the real person is always good."
The mental illness was finally relieved, and she suddenly felt relaxed and became much more cheerful.
Chen Jingke's hands unconsciously began to move around her body, and he said, "Nineteen years old, no wonder you always want a child."
Yi Nu trembled slightly in his arms and said expectantly: "Then... can the real person give me a child?"
"Well." Chen Jingke said seriously: "If you satisfy me, it's not impossible to consider it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Nu, who was like a kitten, instantly turned into a tiger.
When Yuzhu came back from outside, her pretty face immediately turned red when she saw this scene. She wanted to exit, but she immediately realized that the time was wrong and quickly reminded:
"Master, today is not even half a month old, if the viewer finds out..."
Before she could finish her words, she was pulled to the bed by a small white hand, and there was no need to say the next words.
…
Bingzhou Wufu.
Wu Shu accompanied his mother and sister back to his hometown. As previously guessed, they were not welcome. If Wu Yuanqing only had a cold attitude towards them, then Wu Yuanshuang could be said to be very hostile to them.
Needless to say that the master was such a servant, he also looked down upon them.
However, the development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectation. There was actually a secretary from the province accompanying him, who came over and read out the recruitment documents.
Wu Yuanqing was appointed as the commander of a lower county, and Wu Yuanshuang was called into Baiqisi and became the emperor's personal guard.
Originally this was a good gesture, but before the two brothers were happy, Zhu Xiliang said with a friendly face: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to congratulate Wu Erlang."
Wu Yuanshuang said in confusion: "Oh, I wonder where the joy comes from?"
Zhu Xiliang said: "The head of Baiqisi is Zhenren Chen of Zixiao Temple. Zhenren Chen is the disciple and adopted son of Master Sun Guanzhu."
"My sister, Mrs. Wu Er, is the daughter-in-law appointed by Master Sun Guan. She will inherit the Sun family lineage in the future. With this relationship, Wu Erlang has a bright future in Baiqisi."
Wu Yuanshuang was a little confused and asked: "This...how is this possible? Isn't Zixiao Temple a Taoist temple? How did a Taoist priest become the chief of Baiqisi?"
Zhu Xiliang smiled and said: "Because Chen Zhenren is the queen's nephew."
Wu Yuanshuang finally came to his senses and asked: "Are you saying that Sun Simiao's adopted son is the empress's nephew and serves as the chief of the Hundred Cavalry Division in the capital?"
Zhu Xiliang said: "Yes, Master Sun likes Mrs. Wu very much. He wants to marry her as his daughter-in-law. He has reached a verbal agreement with Mrs. Wu."
"Furthermore, Chen Zhenren has a very close relationship with Mrs. Wu Er. He asked her to take charge of Zixiao Temple a year ago. Everyone in the capital knows about this."
Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. They wanted to scold them for being shameless or something, but they couldn't say anything in front of the angel.
Zhu Xiliang seemed to suddenly remember something and said with a smile: "It is said...it is just said that it was Master Chen who personally interceded with the saint, and the saint recruited Wu Erlang to the capital as his bodyguard."
"Zhenren Chen really dotes on Mrs. Wu, and even begged His Majesty for her. It's really enviable to have such a good relative."
"Hiss..." Wu Yuanshuang took a breath of cold air, and his heart became cold.
Good guy, this fell directly into the hands of others. What a good relative, this must be that Mr. Chen who did this to vent his anger on Wu Shu.
If I go to Baiqisi, I will definitely not be able to leave.
He wanted to refuse, but this was a call letter issued by the emperor himself, and he had no room to refuse.
Zhu Xiliang was respectfully sent to the backyard to rest. Brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang looked at me and I looked at you, they were all numb.
Zixiaoguan and the others naturally knew that Sun Simiao was even more powerful. It was precisely because of their understanding that they knew how powerful the other party was and that they could not offend him at all.
That's all, it also involves the queen's nephew, who is a proper relative.
Moreover, Bai Qisi, who is also in charge of the emperor's personal guard, must be a very favored and powerful relative, so the two of them cannot afford to offend him.
After driving Mrs. Wu, mother and daughter away, their brothers were much better off in their hometown. Apart from paying a little attention to their situation at the beginning, they didn't even bother to ask about it later.
I have no idea how they got to the capital or how they got involved with Zixiao Temple.
But these are no longer important now, how to deal with the situation at hand is the most important.
After a long time, Wu Yuanshuang couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what should we do? You can make up your mind."
Wu Yuanqing took a deep breath and said: "Don't panic, things are not that bad yet."
Wu Yuanshuang said quickly: "How to say?"
Wu Yuanqing said: "The Queen's brother and sister also lost their father when they were young, and were kicked out of the house by their half-brother Sun Wuxian to live in the home of their uncle Gao Xianggong."
"Later she became the Princess of Qin. Not only did she not take revenge on Changsun Wuxian, she also granted him an official title. When the saint came to the throne, Changsun Wuxian even committed the crime of treason, but was still pardoned..."
"Why did she do this? She just didn't want to get the bad reputation of bullying others by retaliating with grievances. Even if the queen herself is like this, will she support the little...second sister to take revenge on you?"
Wu Yuanshuang said happily: "Look, why did you forget this? It's really a waste of worry."
Seeing his brother like this, Wu Yuanqing couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Don't be too happy too early. Although they don't dare to do anything to you, it is still easy to make you suffer."
"If you don't want to suffer, you'd better be polite to them... And that angel, don't you see that he helps the second sister in every way?"
Wu Yuanshuang's smile froze and he said unwillingly: "I really hate it...if I had known this, I should have married them off earlier."
"The Lu family's Sanlang likes Wu very much... Hers is willing to pay a thousand yuan as a betrothal gift. And the Guo family is willing to pay a thousand yuan as a betrothal gift for the third child."
Wu Yuanqing's expression changed, and he warned: "If you don't want to suffer, don't talk about this again. Things between the Lu family and the Guo family have never happened, do you understand?"
Wu Yuanshuang said angrily: "I know, at worst, I won't cause trouble for them in the future."
Wu Yuanqing said: "It's not that I don't want to cause trouble for them, but I want to please them in turn. Beijing is their territory. If you really annoy them, don't think that I dare not touch you."
Wu Shu and the others soon noticed the changes in the brothers, and even the servants became more respectful to them.
Mrs. Wu sighed: "We all borrowed Jing Ke's light."
Wu Shu felt proud and sweet at the same time. Although that little man was stupid, he could protect her from the wind and rain without knowing it.
