Xiao Songzi asked jokingly, "Where did you put the father-in-law?"

Guan Yi frowned inexplicably: "What position?"

"If it's a friendship, it's not appropriate for you and a girl to wait for your father-in-law to take a bath."

Guan Yi's face flushed suddenly, the so-called caring is chaotic, she only cared about her father-in-law's injury, but she really didn't think so much, where should she put it?She likes her father-in-law's appearance, his temperament, and everything about him, and that love becomes stronger and stronger like a jar of old wine with the passage of time.

No one has ever been as nice to her as her father-in-law, no one has ever asked her if she is cold, no one has ever asked her if she is hungry, no one has ever asked her if her frostbite hurts, no one has ever asked her if she will survive the beating No one cares about her, no one listens to her ramblings, and no one cares whether she is happy or not. Gradually, she takes everything for granted until she meets him.

All eyes were covered with blood just now, she thought he was going to die, at that moment her heart seemed to die too, the overwhelming despair made her understand how important he is to her, is this the so-called love?

"I treat him like a husband."

Xiao Songzi didn't seem to expect her to be so straightforward, a little frightened by her, coughed lightly and said, "You can't talk nonsense."

"I was serious."

The pale moonlight made her shadow very long, and there was a blood-stained tooth mark on the back of the hand that twisted the hem of the clothes. A few strands of hair were loose in a bun and hung on her forehead, lining her thin cheeks for no reason. A little lonely: "Even if he doesn't like me."

There was the sound of broken porcelain in the room, and Guan Yi suddenly opened the door and rushed in. Li Chengchen was wearing a white single robe, revealing his white chest and thin collarbone, and he was struggling to support the bed with his hands.

She helped him to sit on the soft couch, neatly cleaned the bedding on the couch, Xiao Songzi cleaned up the bloody cotton cloth and porcelain pieces in the room, turned her eyes on the two of them and walked out quietly.

Guan Yi arranged him to lie down, touched his cold hands and feet, took the heater and put it under the blanket to feel at ease. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the wooden box that had fallen on the ground, and an unknown object picked it up suspiciously.

Uncovering the oiled paper wrapped outside, the inside was candied haws wrapped in glutinous rice paper. Only two of them were intact after being squeezed and deformed. The wooden box was stained with two spots of blood, a pair of earrings, and a pair of silver hairpins.

Li Chengchen was extremely tired, closed his eyes to sleep, opened his eyes when he heard her sobbing softly, and asked, "Why are you crying again?"

"Is this for me?"

He looked at the thing in her hand and his eyes dimmed without speaking, then closed his eyes again, fearing that he would disturb him and whispered: "Today is my birthday, if you don't speak, I will treat it as a birthday present for me." .”

"Ah."

She opened her mouth and took a bite of the candied haws until her teeth were so hard that she hissed lightly. Li Chengchen frowned: "It's all broken, don't eat it."

"Such beautiful earrings and hairpins are expensive, right?" Guan Yi obediently put down the candied haws and picked up the pair of earrings lovingly, "Eunuch chose something so beautiful, you can't go back on your word if you promise to give it to me."

"Ah."

"Elder-in-law, you should rest early, and call me if you feel unwell."

Realizing that she was talking too much, she quickly shut her mouth and blew out the candles beside the bed. Li Chengchen was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep in an instant. This birthday is unforgettable in this lifetime.

When she woke up the next morning, Guan Yi held his hand and lay down next to the bed, sleeping soundly. The sun was shining on her body through the thin window, which was extraordinarily warm. The sprinkles and candied haws on the corner of her mouth really made her finish eating them.

Because she missed his injury, she didn't sleep deeply. The subtle movements made her wake up instantly. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, met his dark eyes, and quickly let go of his hands and explained. : "I'm worried that the wound will become inflamed and burn."

She didn't ask him why he was injured, some things were kept secret, and she wouldn't ask for trouble if he didn't tell her: "I said I was sick, so I asked Huanshu for a day off and cooked some lean meat porridge, you get up Would you like something to eat?"

The room was filled with the smell of lean meat porridge, and the stove under the quilt was still warm. There was a thin layer of sweat on his body, and he didn't feel uncomfortable. It could be seen that she had been taking good care of him last night.

Guan Yi bent down to fill a bowl of porridge and placed it on the small table, gently helped him up, carefully took two soft pillows behind him, took a cotton robe and wrapped it around him, Scooped a spoonful of porridge and blew it to his lips.

Li Chengchen raised his hand and said, "I'll do it myself."

"No! It will be troublesome if you eat it yourself and affect the wound, it will hurt."

The two stared at each other for a long time, and he finally compromised and let her feed him half a bowl of soft and glutinous rice porridge: "Xiao Songzi went to the imperial dining room to beg for a chicken, and I will give it to you in the small kitchen later." The stewed soup nourishes qi and blood, and the medicine will be ready immediately, don’t worry, it’s for me to drink, anyway, my skin and flesh are constantly injured, no one suspects.”

"What happened to the hand?"

"I bit it myself. You gave me a gift. I thought I was dreaming. Take a bite and see if it hurts."

"foolish."

"You regret it when you can't wake up." She lowered her head and scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth without realizing it. After she realized it, she raised her eyes and looked at him, neither vomiting nor vomiting, and swallowed embarrassingly, " I... I'll change a new pair of bowls and chopsticks to serve you another bowl."

"I'm stuffed."

Xiao Songzi brought the boiled soup, Guan Yi stared at him and frowned after drinking it, "Isn't it bitter?"

"It's not bitter."

She licked the concoction on her fingertips suspiciously, how could it be so bitter!It was much bitterer than what she drank. God, what kind of hatred does this person have with his father-in-law?

"How can you take medicine indiscriminately?"

She glanced left and right: "Who? Who is taking medicine?"

After breakfast, I went to the table and set up a bronze mirror, combed my black hair with sandalwood, tied a heart-shaped bun, found two suitable places to put the red bean hairpin on the bun, and then put on the earrings , took a sip of rouge.

Because Li Chengchen was recuperating, his black hair was not tied, and he only tied a loose knot at the end of his hair. The white single robe set off his handsome eyebrows and eyes, showing a bit of gentleness. He was lying on the bed and flipping through a book, lazily and leisurely. Look at how good-looking she is, she should have responded to that sentence by going over rashly now, she is an abrupt beauty.

"Does it look good?"

He raised his eyes and took a look. After taking care of him for so long, his sallow and thin cheeks were stuffed with fresh skin, his dry and frizzy hair was combed neatly by her, and his blue dress was fresh and elegant. In reply to the book, he said lightly: "I can still read it."

can see?Is it that ugly?Compared with him, he was really ugly, so he went to the desk and picked out a book at random, reading it for a while and watching him for a while.

"What do you see me doing?"

"You are prettier than a book." When it's over, how can you say what's on your mind.

Li Chengchen put down the book and said, "Have you ever heard a saying that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the golden house in the book?"

"Yan Ruyu? The golden house? Money?"

"Well, the beauty has gold threads, so read the book carefully."

"Liar." She muttered something in a low voice, obediently read the book without daring to speak out, and asked, pointing to an idiom, "Qin Se and Ming?"

"Se is a musical instrument just like Guan."

She suddenly realized: "Then the meaning of this word is that Qin and Se are playing together?"

His silent acquiescence was regarded as acquiescing, and Guan Yi's eyeballs rolled around. Qin, xiao, pipa, etc. are often played in unison by talented men and beautiful women. It is said that they are very elegant, and she will do the same with her father-in-law in the future. Who wouldn't!

"In the future, I will also play the piano and the harp with my father-in-law."

"Read it well."

Nothing wrong, right?Is her understanding wrong?I racked my brains and thought about it, but I couldn't figure out what went wrong. Could it be that my father-in-law saw that she couldn't play the piano, and she could learn it!Forget it, I turned to the part of the poem and slowly read it word by word: "Once the sea was too difficult to be water, except that Wushan is not a cloud. Wushan? Cloud? Rain?"

"Read well."

I was clearly reciting it carefully, so why did I make a mistake again?Seeing him glaring at her with a sullen expression, she covered her face with a book and concentrated on writing. There was always nothing wrong with writing. When she practiced calligraphy as well as him, she would be rich!

Due to the injury and some special reasons, it was rare for Li Chengchen to stay leisurely in the yard to recover from his illness. Xiao Songzi brought a plate of hawthorn and put it in front of him, watching him suspiciously peeling off the hawthorn beard patiently and meticulously with a knife.

"How was the first check?"

"The evidence is convincing." Xiao Songzi hesitated for a moment and said, "Elder-in-law really doesn't plan to take care of it this time?"

"Heaven's evil is still forgiven, but self-inflicted evil cannot live."

The hawthorn crackling on the porcelain plate made a pleasant sound, Xiao Songzi looked at the dagger with a cold light and felt his scalp numb for a while: "Ms. Li Concubine..."

"Seek good luck." Without raising his head, he quickly fiddled with the hawthorn with the sharp point of the knife, "I will do my best to her."

"Yes, I understand."

The slender fingers set off the red and bright hawthorns and are as white as jade. Xiaosongzi knows his temperament and interest, so he doesn't say much. The concubine Li has already touched the bottom line of her father-in-law. All these years of hard work and hard work have long been exhausted. With the only friendship left, if she does whatever she wants, she will probably have to resign herself to fate.

"Eunuch, what are you going to do?"

"Make candied haws."

"Candy...candied haws?" Xiao Songzi suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and looked at Li Chengchen inquiringly, "Don't pick your beard?"

Li Chengchen's eyes were as deep as a cold pool and he raised his eyebrows: "It will hurt your teeth."
