Chapter 118: Embrace

She remembered that she didn't apply medicine last night and fell asleep on the table. Why did she wake up but was in bed? Last night it was Zi Ling who was watching the night. She probably didn't have that much strength to carry her back to the bed, and she could not wake her up without waking her up.

Zi Ling and Zhu Bo looked at each other, and Zi Ling said, "I don't know. I dozed off for a while last night. When I woke up, the girl was already sleeping in the bed. I thought it was the girl who went back to bed to sleep."

When Chu Xinyu heard this, her eyebrows slightly raised up, feeling that it was impossible that she would crawl back to sleep. She had no habit of sleepwalking. If the ash ointment was a tribute, she could guess who carried her back to bed.

He sneaked in two nights ago, and he might have been here last night. She was already asleep at that time. Unexpectedly, he still remembered his injuries and made a special trip to bring her ointment. He was a little sympathetic and did not turn a blind eye to her injuries.

Then he thought of the unexpected kiss yesterday, and he sneaked into her boudoir again last night. He really didn't expect that after such an incident, he would come to her and thought he should be embarrassed, after all, they are not familiar with each other now.

She left in a hurry yesterday and didn't pay attention to what expression he looked like after being kissed by him. Will he think he wanted to seduce him and fell down on purpose?

I came to see her last night, was it just to give her medicine?

Chu Xinyu couldn't understand his behavior, but she was more open-minded and her thoughts were different from those of the current girls. She did not feel that she had had close contact with Lin Chenyao, so she decided that she was his person and did not need him to be responsible.

Zhu Bo couldn't understand: "It's not Zi Ling, was it Lan Yi? But Lan Yi went back to the house to sleep very early last night."

Lan Yi slept beside her last night. When she woke up in the morning, she was still sleeping. She felt that Lan Yi could not hold the girl. She could not imagine who carried the girl back to bed and who brought the ash ointment.

"I went back to bed and fell asleep in a mess. As for the snowflake ointment, I picked up the snowflake ointment on the windowsill, I don't know who threw it here." Chu Xinyu didn't want them to make up a reason to slap them. Since no one noticed that he had been here, the matter was over.

The two of them did not doubt that they had him, but the ash ointment would appear on the windowsill for no reason, which made them feel confused, but neither of them continued to ask.

After getting up and washing, Zhubo put on a lake blue embroidered crabapple sprinkled flower croaker, a moon-white embroidered hydrangea horse-faced skirt, a hanging bun, a pair of engraved and hollowed-out blue hairpin, and a pair of silver-tipped pearls and red earrings.

I put some foundation powder on my face, covering up the bruises, making my skin more clear, and my whole body was as bright as the sunshine in April, shining brightly.

After breakfast, Chu Xinyu took Lan Yi to Anshan Hall to pay his respects.

Maybe she knew she was visiting the Duke of E’s mansion today, and the second wife was waiting for her in Anshantang so late. When she saw her, she smiled and said, “Miss Fifth is dressed well, elegant and beautiful, but her head is too simple.”

As she said that, she took off a blue crystal hairpin on her head and put it on Chu Xinyu's head herself.

"Thank you, Second Aunt."

Old Mrs. Chu knew that this hairpin was a foreign goods from the sea and was given to the second wife by the Empress Dowager. The blue crystal was very transparent, as if it had flowing water. It was of high quality and was rare to see!

The second wife seemed to like this hairpin very much. She always saw her wearing it on some important occasions, but now she gave it to Chu Xinyu without blinking. It seemed that she really felt sorry for Chu Xinyu and felt very pleased.

She likes family harmony, brothers and sisters to be friendly and respect each other, and sisters to help each other, so that such a family will continue to flourish forever.

The second wife reminded: "I have asked someone to prepare the red elixir and put it in the carriage, bring some small gifts to visit them. These etiquettes must be done in full."

"It's still my second aunt who thinks carefully, thank you!" Chu Xinyu was very moved. The second wife's move was just like what her mother should do when she was visiting her daughter.

In Yu'er's memory, the second wife was always very kind to her, but at that time she listened to Yuan's words and thought that the second wife was to please her to please her and to get benefits from her. In fact, Yuan's actions were just to alienate her relationship with the second wife.

"Have the injury on the third sister's face healed?" Chu Xinyu asked with concern if he didn't see her come to pay his respects today.

"It's better." The second lady said with a heartache: "Maybe she had hit the carriage a few times yesterday. After a sleep, she seemed to have broken down all over her body. Your grandmother asked her to rest for two days before coming to pay her respects."

Chu Xinyu understood that Chu Jiapeng was different from herself. Chu Jiapeng was spoiled, but she was used to this kind of rough life in Puling Temple. In order to practice her physical fitness, she tied a 10-kilogram sandbag to her feet and hiked up the mountain. I don’t know how many times she had fallen, but she had been used to falling.

Yang Lianxin sat in front of the old lady Chu, serving tea and water, and was extremely considerate and filial. Seeing the second wife's kindness to Chu Xinyu, she thought that she had lived in the mansion for almost half a year, but she did not see her second aunt being so generous to her. Only when she first arrived at the Marquis' mansion, she took her second aunt's jade bracelet, but the jade bracelet was incomparable to the blue crystal that Chu Xinyu wore at the moment.

She was jealous and jealous. Her grandmother and second aunt both looked at Chu Xinyu differently. If she won the best first place at Baihua Banquet, would she have such treatment?

Thinking that he still owed those noble girls a few jade fracture fans and was worried about not knowing how to remedy it, Chu Xinyu dressed up to be a guest and made friends, and was very unwilling to accept it!

She then smiled and said, "Fifth cousin, I'm idle in the mansion anyway, so why don't I accompany you to the Duke of E. I want to get to know the girl from the Duke of E. I also want to get to know the girl from the Duke of E."

There were Miss Seven and Miss Eight sitting next to me. When I heard this, I almost choked on my mouth. Especially Miss Eight, I couldn't hide the mockery on my face, and then covered my mouth with embarrassment and didn't say anything.

They thought to themselves that they didn't know whether Cousin Yang said this on purpose or that they really didn't know this rule. Chu Xinyu had just visited someone else's house for the first time. It was not stated in the invitation that he could take someone else, so he took someone else to visit, which was very impolite.

However, Chu Jiayu reminded him kindly: "Cousin Yang, the fifth sister has just visited the Duke of E's mansion for the first time. It would be very impolite to take others to visit without saying a word."

There are so many sisters in the Chu family who are not married, and they also want to make friends, but they all know this very well. Although they also want to go with Chu Xinyu, they all understand that it is not impossible to follow like this. It just makes people feel that the Chu girl is uneducated. If she really wants to take someone there, she should tell the other party in advance and make everyone prepare.

Yang Lianxin's face immediately turned pale, she bit her lips tightly, and her eyes like autumn water were filled with crystal water droplets, which made people look so pitiful and pitiful.

Chu Xinyu looked at her like this and made her feel as if she was bullying her. Why didn’t she see that before, she thought that cousin Yang just likes to take advantage of others and has a high-spirited person, but she didn’t expect that she has the potential of a white lotus.

"I, I just want to see you. When I was in Zhuzhou, my mother had never allowed me to go out. Later, she came to the capital and had no chance. Now that I have grown up, I find that I have no friends. I don't have anything to do with it." Yang Lianxin looked at Chu Xinyu with eager eyes, without blinking, conveying infinite desire and a hint of pleading.

The two girls she met at Baihua Banquet that day were with relatives. They had a status and status at home, and their family background was not prominent, but the Duke E Mansion was different. Miss Fu Er and Miss Fourth were both easy-going, unlike those people, who were looking down on others.

The mother told her to pester Chu Xinyu no matter what, and to make friends with her, because only through her can she have the opportunity to meet more girls from aristocratic families or noble girls.

Chu Xinyu felt a little embarrassed when she saw her like this. It was not that she was unwilling to support her sisters. It was really the first time she went there, and the purpose of her trip was not to be a guest and make friends!

It was her home, and she should have gone back four years ago. Unfortunately, her parents and sisters were murdered on the way home, which made her never go home. She wanted to see where her father grew up, her grandparents, her brother and all her relatives.

She looked at Sister Qi and Sister Ba, and her eyes seemed to be moved. After thinking about it, she still said truthfully: "It's not that I'm selfish and I won't take you there. This time it was because I helped Mrs. Fu in Longhua Temple. Miss Fu San invited me to the mansion to thank me. It was really hard to refuse.

One is that the post only has my name written, and the other is that I don’t know whether they have invited other girls. It doesn’t matter if I only go there. I am afraid that I will take you there rashly. I don’t know the situation, I am afraid that if those people say something unpleasant and make you feel wronged.”

Most of these words were the truth, without any concealment. She just hoped that the sisters would not resent her as long as she had no sisterhood.

Fortunately, Chu Jiaqi and Chu Jiating were not around, otherwise there would be a fuss. The Eighth Girl actually wanted to go, but she knew that it would be useless for her to speak. She knew this rule.

The seventh girl never greedy for these things, so she said, "I want to go, but I don't want the fifth girl to be said to be uneducated, which makes her difficult. And if she goes, she invites another girl and goes gossips. If someone says something bad, I won't be able to get out of Taiwan. Forget it, our mansion will also hold a banquet another day, and asks the fifth sister to invite some girls from aristocratic families to come and play, so that we can get to know people."

After hearing what she said, Old Lady Chu and the Second Lady nodded with relief. Although the seventh girl was a concubine, she was very self-aware and could understand her own situation and never greedy for things that were not her own. The third Lady taught her like a legitimate daughter, but finally she did not waste her efforts.

The big house raises a concubine's daughter, and the third house also raises a concubine's daughter. It is obvious that the big house's concubine's daughter is not as good as the third house. Old Mrs. Chu sighed inwardly, it is indeed not wrong to marry a wife, and the three house daughter-in-law's parents are alive. Although they are not from wealthy, they can be regarded as a pure family.

The third wife was chosen by the old man. He liked each other's character and a simple family. He was also childhood sweethearted and met the third wife since childhood. Therefore, the couple was loving, supporting each other, and knowing how to be considerate and tolerant of each other's faults.

In fact, it is also a good thing to hand over the big kitchen to the third wife. She knows the third brother's personality best, being honest and cowardly, not vain, so she never forces him and asks him to be as outstanding as his two brothers.

No matter he wants him to do what he likes, he never dares to make his own request in front of him. If he dares to say in front of him that he does not want to be an official, he must concentrate on studying painting skills, and she will definitely agree without saying a word.

It was a long way to go, and Chu Xinyu was very surprised. He didn't expect that the Seventh Sister who helped her was the Seventh Sister. Last time, the same was true, and now the same is true. His favor for her increased a little. Then Chu Jiayu said, "Seventh Sister is right. After a few days, we will learn the rules, so let the second aunt invite some guests to the mansion to visit. At that time, please invite the eldest sister-in-law to invite some girls from aristocratic families and noble girls to the mansion to play, and we will attend together!"

The implication is that after learning the rules, the second wife will invite the guests to have sex, fearing that the rules will not be understood, it will be embarrassing.

Now Miss Seven and Miss Eight both showed joyful smiles. They were more comfortable to entertain guests at their own homes than to visit other people's homes. When they were visiting other people's homes, they were very passive and could not know every guest. However, when others came to their homes, they were the masters and could take the initiative to get to know them.

"Hello, Sister Fifth, I'm saying that our rules are not as good as you. Sister Seventh, let's grab her ears and let her slap us again!"

After saying that, Chu Jiayun jumped up and rushed up to try to pull Chu Xinyu's ears, but she reflexively avoided it.

Chu Jiayun was stunned. Chu Jiayu grabbed Chu Jiayun's hand and said, "Okay, stop making trouble! You are so big and small in front of your grandmother. Your rules are really not as good as your fifth sister. You are really right."

Then he looked at Chu Xinyu and said, "Fifth sister, please go out quickly. It's the first time I've been to someone else's house. Don't delay it. I'll go there next time I have the chance. It's not too late to take us there."

After saying that, he glanced at Yang Lianxin with a point of view.

Chu Jiayun also urged: "Yes, go and go back quickly, come back and talk to us about fun, let's have fun too."

It was strange that Chu Jiayun did not pester Chu Xinyu this time. If it were the case before, she would definitely make a request to follow her like Yang Lianxin.

Chu Xinyu was confused, but did not reveal it, so he smiled and said, "Well, wait for me to come back to buy you something delicious."

Old Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "Go! Be cautious when you go to someone's house and have a clear idea. Don't let people say that our Chu family is not good and it will be unbeautiful!"

Chu Xinyu understood what the old lady Chu said, and she had to maintain the reputation of the Chu family no matter what, and thought more about other sisters.

After saying goodbye to old lady Chu and the second wife, she went out. The second wife was afraid that she would encounter danger again like yesterday. This time she did not send the coachman to take her there, but asked the third son Chu Zhizhang to be the coachman himself to take her to the Duke E's mansion.
