Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Red Calyx Has Words

Yi Yi was a personal maid brought by Rui'er from home, and when she saw that it was very cold in the pavilion just now, she took Rui'er's fur coat. How did she know that after just such a while, the prince and the princess actually made love in the pavilion, and suddenly their faces were flushed, and they quickly knelt down, not even daring to raise their heads, and begged for mercy vigorously: "The slave should die!" Slaves and maids should be damned! Ask the prince and the mother to be gracious and spare the slave and maid! ”

Rui'er and Yiyi have been together for many years, and although they are called master and servant, they are actually like sisters. Seeing that Yiyi was so frightened that her face was pale, she hurriedly pleaded with Zhu Youzhen with her eyes.

Zhu Youzhen didn't know that he pretended to blame Yi Yi and scared Yi Yi like this. How could he compete with a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, and hurriedly said: "Get up, it's strange cold on the ground!" After thinking about it, he told again, "This king was really telling a story to the princess just now, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Rui'er saw that Zhu Youzhen wanted to cover up, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, Yiyi is a smart girl, and she will definitely not talk nonsense!" With that, he pulled Yi up. Yi Yi also blinked vigorously and nodded his head.

When the three of them were full of interest, Rui'er saw Guan Ning coming over from a distance, and hurriedly whispered to Zhu Youzhen: "Lord, Rui'er has something to say to the prince, let's go to the back hall." ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't understand what he meant, so he had to follow Rui'er through the water pavilion and enter a moon door hole. The door hole is full of fragrance, and there are more than ten plum trees planted in the courtyard that is not big inside. At this time, the plum blossoms are blooming proudly in the snow, and they look extremely delicate.

Go further on, that is, the back hall of the palace, that is, Zhu Youzhen's bedroom. This is a two-storey small building, which looks quiet and elegant, and there are three big characters written on the high plaque: Red Calyx Building.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Youzhen's mind suddenly appeared Dong Xiaowan's face, as well as her touching song "Dark Fragrance": "The moonlight in the old days, how many times do you shine on me, Meibian plays the flute?" … Sigh and send the road away, the snow accumulates at night; Cui Zun is easy to cry, and the red calyx is speechless..."

He slammed down, secretly blaming himself for not being distracted, and hurriedly followed Rui'er into the Red Calyx Tower.

Entering the building, Yiyi closed the door, but Rui'er led Zhu Youzhen and went straight into the bedroom on the second floor. Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel excited, thinking that it was the kiss just now that aroused Rui'er's **, and at this time you want to have a fun time with me?

Rui'er closed the door, but suddenly knelt down for Zhu Youzhen, and said timidly: "Lord Wang, Rui'er did have something to hide from you before. Now Rui'er can't bear it anymore, she must report truthfully to the prince and ask the prince to punish her! ”

Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, thinking to himself if she really had an adulterous affair with her senior brother?

Rui'er saw that Zhu Youzhen's face was pale, and she hurriedly said: "Actually... It's not a big deal, it's just that my father came to congratulate me today, and those congratulatory gifts... It's from Rui'er..."

Zhu Youzhen saw that he had guessed the wrong direction completely, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and was immediately relieved.

Rui'er continued: "The prince doesn't know, Rui'er's father is used to living a poor life, and he is a little stingy. Although his name today is to congratulate the prince on his housewarming, in fact, he just wants to come to fight the autumn breeze and ask the prince for some money. At this, Rui'er lowered her head in shame.

Zhu Youzhen smiled disapprerovingly: "I thought it was something." I am a son-in-law, and your father is my father-in-law, how can there be a reason for a father-in-law to give a gift to his son-in-law? People gave me all the daughters, so I will honor and honor his old man, and it is only right. ”

Rui'er said in surprise: "Does the prince really think so? Rui'er was afraid that her father would be too stingy and come empty-handed, and the prince would not look good, so she had to prepare a gift in advance and let her father send it over. ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head with a smile and said, "Why bother, we don't have to make these virtual scenes." Tell me, how much should I give my father-in-law in return? ”

Rui'er smbabbed for a while, and said tentatively: "Lord Wang, can you give it to my father... 10,000 taels of silver? ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't expect Rui'er to open her mouth, startled, and blurted out: "So much? ”

Rui'er hurriedly said: "These silver are considered fathers, no, can Rui'er borrow the prince's success?" In the future, Rui'er will save money and make up for the silver! ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly: "Rui'er, why do you talk about two families again." Since you and I are husband and wife, what is mine is yours, what do you say to borrow or not? It's just that I don't understand, what is my father-in-law asking for so much silver for? ”

"The prince doesn't know." Rui'er sighed, there were faint tears in her eyes, "My father used to make a living by telling hexagrams, and what he said about 'Yin and Yang Mathematics and Numerology' is really exalting him, but in fact, it is just some charlatans." How many taels of silver can you earn by divination on the street? It is because our family drifted from Jiangnan to Beijing, and our life has been very hard.

"My partial-born father is still a vain person, obviously he doesn't have much money, and he bought an orphan girl for me to be a maid, which is Yiyi; I took in another apprentice, it was my senior brother Yan Ling. The mother died early, and the food and clothing of this family of four was not enough to rely on the father to set up a hexagram stall. Fortunately, the senior brother is proficient in martial arts, and he can barely make ends meet by going to the street to practice martial arts from time to time.

This time, he ascended to the sky in one step, from a commoner to the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, and was made an earl, which can be described as getting rich overnight. But my father was so happy to show off, spent a lot of money, bought a luxurious mansion, and bought a wide range of land and servants, and not only spent all the silver rewarded by Long Live the year, but also owed a few thousand taels of silver.

Rui'er knew her father's personality very well, and she was really afraid that he would use his crooked brains and use his power to ask for bribes, so she had to plead with the prince. As long as the prince fills in his father's deficit first, Rui'er will strictly persuade him to be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, and never cause trouble to the prince again! ”

After listening to Zhu Youjian for a long time, he realized that this Zhou Kui was somewhat similar to the rich second generation and the second generation of officials in his previous life, and he was nothing, just relying on his father's power and money, he did nonsense all day long. However, the family is the second generation, but Zhou Kui is the elder; is a pit father, but Zhou Kui is a pit girl and a pit son-in-law.

But seeing Rui'er so embarrassed, Zhu Youzhen couldn't bear it, and hurriedly comforted her: "Rui'er don't worry, I can still get 10,000 taels of silver." ”

"Husband? What are you talking about, prince! Rui'er said inexplicably, "Only eunuchs are called 'husbands'!" ”

Zhu Youzhen stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "My 'husband' is different from those 'husbands'!" My 'husband' marksmanship is amazing, and it is difficult for you to resist! ”

"What marksmanship?" Rui'er was inexplicable at first, but suddenly realized that she couldn't help but giggle, and the little pink fist rained down on the chest of Zhu Youzhen, who rushed over: "Lord Wang, you are so bad!" ”

"Oops! Be light, it hurts me! Zhu Youzhen didn't expect Rui'er to be so strong, even if she flirted and scolded, she still felt unbearable.

"Lord Wang, are you okay? It's Rui'er who is too careless, Rui'er should be damned! Rui'er was busy rubbing Zhu Youzhen's chest.

Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly: "I said Rui'er, have you learned martial arts from your senior brother, why are you so powerful?" ”

When Rui'er heard Zhu Youzhen say this, she hurriedly said: "Lord Qiqi, although Rui'er and Senior Brother have been together for many years, they are just like brothers and sisters. Usually the senior brother is performing outside, Rui'er is working in the boudoir, there is no rudeness, please don't be careful! This time, my father brought my brother here, also to find a career for him. Because the senior brother is strong in martial arts, if he can be a guard in the palace, he will not learn kung fu in vain. Since the prince doesn't like his senior brother, Rui'er and him will never see each other again! ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that Rui'er was so serious, so he had to joke: "I didn't say anything, and I didn't doubt my Rui'er." It's just that you are as beautiful as a fairy, a normal man, and you will salivate. In case that Yan Ling has a human-faced beast heart..."

Rui'er also heard Zhu Youzhen's play, and pretended to be annoyed and said: "Only the prince is a human-faced beast, seeing one loves the other, but he goes to talk about others!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was very happy in his heart, and he moved with Rui'er again. However, Rui'er remembered that Zhu Youzhen was also infected with poison and refused to let him make any substantive moves. Rao is like this, the two still feel very sweet, and they are really a little happy.

That night, Zhu Youzhen went to bed in the Red Calyx Building. Bao Yulian still carried out a golden needle acupoint for him once a day, and after the needle was finished, he said to Rui'er with a smile: "Princess Niangniang, the prince's illness has improved. ”

Rui'er said in surprise: "Really? Has the poison been exhausted? ”

Bao Yulian shook his head and said, "It's not that fast." However, the prince's physique is better than ordinary people, and he can... Observe the color precepts, and the poison is drained faster than expected. You see, the blood beads on the tip of this needle are not as black as ink as they were a few days ago. The slave maid originally thought that it would take half a year for the prince to recover, but according to this, it may only take two months for the toxins to be exhausted. ”

Zhu Youzhen jumped up happily and said, "So, I only need to hold it for another two months?" Oops! …”

It turned out that this thing forgot that he still had dozens of golden needles on his body, and under this jump, several needles were deeply embedded in the flesh, which hurt him so much that he grinned and almost didn't fall from his tears.

Bao Yulian hurriedly settled him down, and said angrily: "Look at you're in a hurry!" ”

As soon as these words came out, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, but it was too late to take it back. I saw Rui'er with a smile, glanced at her meaningfully and said: "Sister doesn't have to call herself a 'slave' anymore, you are the prince's life-saving benefactor, and the prince will not treat my sister slowly." Right, Lord? ”

Zhu Youzhen was embarrassed: "Ah... Yes, yes! This king that... Rewards! ”

Bao Yulian blushed and said in a low voice: "Thank you to the prince and Niangniang, it is a great grace for the prince to redeem Yulian from the Qinglou." ”

Rui'er deliberately quipped: "Sister is not rare for the prince's reward!" People must be thinking about what to do after the prince recovers! ”

Bao Yu's heart trembled, and for some reason, he actually had a sinful thought: how good it would be if his poison could never be discharged!
