Chapter 6(1/2)

Serve him is actually more comfortable than serving Madam Wang. He is outside during the day and only returns to the backyard until evening. He often doesn't eat dinner at home. He just bakes the bed and prepares the clothes he wants to wear the next day.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, when I woke up early in the morning, the sky became gloomy. In the evening, snowflakes finally floated up. By the time the lights were used, it had turned into snowballs. Xiaoqi felt so happy that she grew up in the south in the past and present, and snow was a wonder for her.

"My wife, the general is back." Qinglian reported in the outer room.

Xiao Qi paused for a moment and quickly put down the long bun that was half folded, thinking that he would come back early today and never see anyone in the past.

As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Zhou Cheng carrying him into the door. The two of them were still stained with spots of blood. "What's wrong?" Why are there still blood?

"A few people are making trouble, and the general is fighting." Zhou Cheng explained, "I have already bandaged the military doctors in the inner palace."

Because it was inconvenient to enter the inner room, Zhou Cheng only helped Li Chu to a chair and sat down.

"You go back and treat the injury, too." Li Chu told Zhou Cheng.

After Zhou Cheng bowed to Li Chu and Xiao Qi, he left the room - it was too late, and he was not suitable for staying in the backyard for a long time.

"Have you eaten dinner?" He didn't know what to do first for a moment, so he asked him without saying a word.

He shook his head slightly, let alone dinner, and lunch was not done. If he hadn't been quick-witted, he would have been a mutiny today, and the group of people had finished playing, so he would not have the heart to eat. "Come on here." He was indeed hungry.

Xiaoqi quickly asked Qinglian to go to the kitchen to prepare, and then turned around and found clean clothes from the inner room. His body was so dirty that it looked so dirty. If the nanny knew about it, she would blame her for not taking good care of her.

"Do you want to find another doctor?" When he saw that he had changed his clothes, there were several fine wounds on the back of his neck and there were still small blood beads, which was very terrifying.

"No need to mobilize people. There is ointment in the cabinet in the inner room. Just take it and wipe it." He pulled off the ragged coat on his body and threw it aside, took the clothes from her hand and put it on his shoulders. He wanted to eat something quickly now.

Xiaoqi hurriedly went to find the ointment, and his eyes turned around the room, and found that they were the only two left in the room.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally walked over and helped him deal with the tiny wounds on his back as he was eroded by the black gas around him. The more he dealt with, the more he felt that this was not like the wounds caused by the striking fight, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. This is a big holiday, and it's at the foot of the imperial city. Who dares to use a knife and a gun?

"After the New Year, there was a quota of food and grass to pass by Jingji. It was the one in charge of Dongying. I want to arrange for you to meet the people there." He also received the news today, and he happened to be there to listen to her. After getting along with her for the past six months, the nanny seemed to have less hostility towards her, saying that she was a proper person and was very respectful to the nanny. She was also thrifty. The servants of the Wu family were in charge of her and did not dare to act rashly. So the nanny took the initiative to mention this matter to him and said that she was also a pitiful person, with only one brother left in the family. After a few years of separation, he has been sent here again. In the future, the brother and sister have fewer chances to meet, so he has given him the opportunity to help her meet that brother. A while ago, because of the Wu family's halberd, he asked someone to check her brother's background. His foundation was very clean and he was responsible for his work. The last time he was just implicated, so he did not get rid of his position.

Xiaoqi naturally understood his words, but couldn't say anything. He was a little sour, a little astringent, and a little grateful. Regardless of whether this was a behavior of superiors like them, they would always have to thank them for help, "Thank you." He said quietly.

After being in this world for so long, I have already passed the period of resentment and even rebelling. I have gradually accepted and gotten used to reality. Maybe she is lucky, at least Madam Wang and he are not bad people, which is also a blessing for her.

Quiet —

The two of them seemed to be no longer as embarrassed as before. Maybe her mentality changed, or maybe it was because of gratitude that the strength of applying medicine had become much smaller.

He turned his face slightly - it is impossible to see whether a person is careful with you or not, but he can feel it.

He applied ointment for him, and the food outside was set up. He cleaned the table and asked the little girl to serve him clean water. He also asked Qinglian to boil the blood-replenishing medicine.

He was really hungry, so he picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Xiaoqi helped him add rice and soup. Halfway through the meal, he suddenly heard footsteps in the yard. He looked at the door.

Xiaoqi was also nervous by him and looked at the door.

"General, the inner palace said that Changmenwei Lord Chang is dead!" Zhou Cheng had no time to hold his fists and reported directly when he entered the door, and his voice was very low.

Li Chu slowly put down half of the steamed bun in his hand, frowned, thinking about something.

Seeing this, Xiaoqi planned to withdraw first. It was not convenient for her to listen to military and national affairs. As soon as she turned around, she was stopped by him, "Help me find clothes for convenient clothes."

Xiao Qi responded and went to the inner room.

"You go and prepare, choose two or three good-looking ones, and wait for me in the front yard." Li Chu.

Zhou Cheng left in response.

Li Chu put down the chopsticks in his hand again, and Xiaoqi stopped in the inner room, thinking that something big happened?

When he entered the inner room, she had already hung the clothes she had found on the shelf.

"After I go out, I close the backyard gate, no one is allowed to put it in, and no one is allowed to go out." He ordered while changing his clothes, "Don't panic when hearing the movement, there are people guarding it outside."

Nodded, "I'll pass on the message and let them divide the class to watch the night." Seeing that he put on the lining, he quickly handed over a soft armor, which was just found at the bottom of the box.

Li Chu frowned at the soft armor, as if he was a little disgusted, but seeing her nervous and kind-hearted look, she was not ashamed of her face. She took it and put it on. Although it was useless, it was better than nothing.

The two were busy putting clothes on him in the inner room. Suddenly someone reported to him that the general Zhang Zhiyi of the outer room had arrived and he was also bringing his wife and children.

"He will please me." Li Chu muttered, as if he was a little disdainful of the general's behavior, but he still said to Xiaoqi, "You can just take a look at it and arrange it."

Xiaoqi nodded, and quickly put the hair on the screen on his shoulders, tied up his straps, and then the two of them came out of the inner room one by one. A little girl had already brought Xiaoqi's cloak and served her to put it on.

Outside, the snow was falling tightly, and the ground had accumulated more than an inch thick, and it was creaking when it stepped on it.

Because he was going to pick up Mrs. Zhang, Xiaoqi went to the front yard with him. When he passed by the west yard, he suddenly remembered something and asked him to wait for her. Without waiting for him to respond, he hurried into the yard. When he came back, he had a Xuan Jin purse on his hand. "My grandma just asked the pharmacy to prepare a few pills a few days ago. She wanted you to take it to the north. She said that it would be useful in a crisis. You should bring a few pills on her body." While saying that, she tied the purse to his belt. It was inconvenient for the belt to grow long and she also circled it several times.

Li Chu usually doesn't like this kind of mother-in-law's behavior the most. He didn't want her to tie it, but when he looked at the few drops of water on her forehead, he couldn't speak and scold her, so he had to patiently let her dress up.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and even the edge of the house opposite could not be seen clearly. Xiaoqi stood quietly in front of the hanging flower door in the backyard with a lantern. He listened to the sound of the war horses in the outer yard, unable to explain what he felt. Although he didn't know what happened, he could feel that the incident tonight was very dangerous. She didn't want him to have an accident, because if something happened to him, her fate might be even more miserable, especially when he had just done something that made her a little grateful.

*******

In the front yard—

Mrs. Zhang and her two children were saying goodbye to her husband, and she couldn't stop her tears. Their family lived on the same street as the dead Changmen Captain. As soon as the sky was dark, something happened in the Chang Mansion. There was a mess of screams, followed by a scream at the top of her lungs. Listening to the crying, she hugged a pair of young children tightly in her arms. When the door was opened, her whole body was trembling, afraid that the disaster would be on her head. Fortunately, it was her own man-

Seeing that the mother and son were so scared, Zhang Zhiyi threw the whip to the ground, trapped the car, stuffed the mother and the three of them into the car, and defected to Li's house from the back door. Behind the Li's house was supported by Qinchuan's Li's family. No matter how they fought, they would not easily touch the Li family. It was better to stuff his wife and children into Li's house with this face than to be scared at home.

"You don't have to go out with me." Seeing Zhang Zhiyi bringing his horse over, Li Chu sat down on the horse and said with a high apex.

Zhang Zhiyi smiled bitterly, "It's a matter of eating the king's fortune and loyalty to the king." Although he is now a bare-legged and has no soldiers, he is still a general who is paying for his salary. Some people rebel and the imperial city is in crisis, how can he really hide at home?

The main entrance of Li's house opened wide, and several horses galloped out-

The street outside was under martial law, and there were only a few lonely yellow lanterns swaying gently in the snow. Li Chu held the horse's reins at the intersection of the street, looking at the lonely lamp on the gatehouse of a house not far away, his eyes flashed slightly, as if he had thought of something, but he soon came back to his senses and pulled his horse to the north-

This is the biggest snow this winter, as if it could bury the entire capital - it did bury a lot of things!

*******

Xiaoqi has been having a bad life these days. In addition to taking care of the backyard, he also has to go to the living yard to comfort Mrs. Zhang from time to time and arrange for someone to take care of the two children who were sick due to frightening. In addition, he has to worry about the situation outside, especially the city gate fire three days ago and the shouts of killing on the streets outside. For those who have been growing up in the peaceful world, this impact is really a bit big.

Fortunately, Li's house was safe and sound. Hearing the old ladies who went to the front yard to carry ingredients whispered and said that many people died in the city and how miserable the death was, Xiaoqi suddenly felt that he was very lucky. While being grateful, he was worried about the source of luck. The safety of these people was achieved by him working hard outside. I hope he could be safe, otherwise the whole family would not know what to do.

Besides, there is Mama Wang, who doesn’t know what the situation is there. Although the old man treats her harshly and teaches her lessons, he never treats her poorly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even secretly pleads for her in front of him. Although she takes the people and things in this world indifferently, she also knows how to repay her. She will treat her good people as well as others.

Early in the morning of the fourth day of the lunar month, Manager Xie from the front yard sent someone to report to the back yard, saying that there was no longer any martial law outside during the day and asked what to buy in the back yard. Xiaoqi made a detailed order for Qinglian to send it over.

On the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar month, Zhang Zhiyi took his wife and children out. Mrs. Zhang thanked Li Zhai for her protection. Xiao Qi said politely, but she felt guilty. After all, it had nothing to do with her.

Thinking that Zhang Zhiyi is back, he should come back as well. He asked Qinglian and Hongfu to prepare ingredients every day in the small kitchen of the plum courtyard - he usually lives in the plum courtyard.

In the second middle of the night of the eighth day of the lunar month, Xiaoqi was woken up in his sleep, saying that he was back, he stood up in a daze, put on his clothes and went to the Meiyuan. He waited for most of the day before he came back, but he was still wearing the same clothes he was wearing when he left, so dirty that he could hardly see the original color.

He quickly asked the little girl to add water to bathe him, and then went to the kitchen to tell him what dishes to cook. When she returned to the main hall, she saw the little girl standing in a hurry at the door of the inner room.

"Are you finished washing?" Xiao Qi asked.

The little girl is served by Mama Wang, named Meixiang. She is small and has a round face. She is very cute. She has been familiar with these daily routines around Xiaoqi.

"I was clumsy and accidentally pulled the general's wound, so he let me come out." The little girl's face was vain, probably scared by his expression.

"Then you go to the big kitchen to see medicine, don't get over it." He handed over the place.

Mei Xiang ran away in the platoon as if she had received a general amnesty. Suddenly, she heard something tearing in the inner room. She thought something had happened to him, so she asked him without asking. Xiaoqi picked a corner of the curtain and happened to meet the people in the inner room. I wonder if there was something wrong with her eyes, but she actually saw a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

He looked really embarrassed because he took off half of his clothes and scraped the rag on the hanger, as if he couldn't untie it.

"I'll do it." After being a maid for □□, serving people was almost instinctive. He circled his fingers twice on the crossbar of the clothes hanger, solving the problem lightly and skillfully. "The city gate has been closed and I can't send someone out. I wonder if there is anything wrong with the nanny?" He should have a way to contact outside the city, right?

"The village is very safe and there will be no problem." She opened her arms so that she could take off her torn clothes.

After taking off his coat, he continued to help him take off his soft armor, but found that most of the soft armor was broken, and there was a section on his back missing. Could this thing be a fake?

Seeing her doubts, he said, "This thing looks good, but it is not very useful in the actual battle."

"..." Then didn't you say that at that time? She thought this thing was similar to armor.

"It's not useless at all, and you can block a few stabs. Maybe those stabs will kill you." She took the soft armor from her hand, held it in front of her and carefully studied the damaged area, muttering to herself, "This knife is good."

"..." Xiao Qi was speechless. He was indeed doing things like love and doing things. At this time, he did not forget to evaluate his opponent's sword skills.

When he took off the only lining left, he consciously turned into the screen to handle it himself, while Xiaoqi began to clean up the torn clothes on the floor.

"The last time I had that long meat, let them make some more." After stepping into the bathtub, he suddenly remembered that the dish he ate last time was good, and he often remembered when he was sleeping in the open these days.

Through the screen, Xiao Qi responded with a slightly raised corner of his mouth. This man was very picky about food. It hurt that Madam Wang found various recipes for him every day. It was rare to have something he wanted to eat. Madam knew that she was so happy.

After he finished washing and changing his clothes, the food was already served. He pointed to the wolfberry pigeon soup in the soup bowl and asked her, "What is this?"

"Pigeon." Xiaoqi didn't understand why.

He frowned and sat down, obviously not satisfied with her answer, but he didn't say much.

"My grandma said you don't drink bone soup and fish soup." He disliked him because the chicken soup was too ordinary, so she specially asked the kitchen to prepare several suckling pigeons.

He didn't say anything, picked up the chopsticks and started eating, but he didn't touch the pigeon soup from beginning to end.

Xiao Qidan thought he didn't like to eat pigeons, so he thought that he would be careful in the kitchen and not stew pigeon soup for him again.

"What is this?" pointed to a bowl of black medicine in front of him.

"Mum said it was a common prescription, which replenishes blood." He shed several blood, so he naturally had to replenish it.

"Don't take medicine randomly if you are not sick in the future." He pushed it aside and took the tea bowl beside him.

"..." Well, he made sense, if he didn't drink, he wouldn't drink it.

"What kind of tea is this?" Motion to the tea bowl.
