Chapter 97 Carry you into the house to sleep
Looking at the contents of the note, Su Changan reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose.
How to say it?
He thinks his wife is kind of cute.
Hehe~~~
Yan Yunxiao shook his head and said helplessly: "One is obviously very curious, but insists on saying that she is not curious, and the other wants the other person not to be curious, but changes for the person she likes, so she wants to make the other person curious. Miss and His Majesty are really a perfect match."
Hearing this, Su Changan looked at Yan Yunxiao and said, "Aunt, it is shameful to peek at the note. It is beneath your status as a great master."
Yan Yunxiao glanced at Su Changan: "In front of His Majesty, openly watching."
Su Changan was helpless.
But Su Changan thought about it and asked, "Aunt, if I say I'm curious, will she really take me to the Flower Street?"
Yan Yunxiao had just taken a sip of wine, but after hearing this, he gulped down two mouthfuls and thought seriously: "The late emperor met the late queen who was dressed as a man in the red street back then. I think Your Majesty should be able to do it. Why don't you try? Anyway, it's your own business if something goes wrong."
Su Changan curled his lips.
Very good, what difference does it make whether you say it or not?
However, Yan Yunxiao immediately added: "But I suggest you say you are curious, because if you don't say it, and you continue to be curious, none of us will be able to have a peaceful night."
Su Changan frowned slightly, thinking that what Yan Yunxiao said made sense: "Aunt Yan, please reply, I'm curious."
Yan Yunxiao wiped the wine off his lips, and then said, "Okay. You two are flirting, showing off every day, and you don't even consider us. But, let me talk about something else. That old Diao Si won't do anything to you. I've talked to him about this, so you can rest assured. Although he is the Queen Mother's man and has killed many people at the Queen Mother's behest, he still has to think about you. So if we meet here in the future, just say hello normally, it doesn't matter."
"Secondly, we have almost finished investigating the assassination attempt on you last night, but His Majesty won't let us tell you. But there will definitely not be a next time. I am ashamed to think that I was ambushed in advance. The Shen Ce Mansion has already taken action to teach you a lesson, and some people will probably die there, so don't worry, I will get your revenge."
"Finally, although Lian Qiao is most likely just an unlucky guy, we can't just let him go. After all, nothing is 100% certain. Moreover, although that guy is a seventh-grade, he is strong enough to rival an eighth-grade, so he is still dangerous. So let's lock him up first. Anyway, that guy is a fool."
After saying that, Yan Yunxiao frowned and looked at Su Changan: "As for how stupid he is, I asked him if he wanted to castrate himself, so that I could get him into the Chixia Army. He said he would ask his parents. Okay, you guys go about your business. I just came to deliver a note and tell you these things by the way."
As he said this, he made another very cool move, hanging the wine gourd directly on his waist, and said, "Let's go."
Then just leave.
Yan Yunxiao didn't turn around, but his voice reached Su Changan's ears: "Don't pull out your sword if you can. I'll send you two more swords tomorrow. Don't use wooden swords in the future."
Su Changan immediately bowed and said, "I'll listen to Aunt Yan."
Yan Yunxiao raised his hand and waved, saying goodbye.
Yan Yunxiao left.
Su Changan and the others naturally headed towards the greenhouse.
There is not much to say about what happened just now. After all, Yan Yunxiao has said everything that needs to be said.
But before the three of them reached the flower room.
They saw the young eunuch Lu Cai.
I saw Lu Cai pulling the cart with difficulty, with a small package hanging around his neck.
He is so small, but it looks like he is struggling to pull the cart full of flowers.
When he saw Su Changan and the others, he immediately stopped and saluted Su Changan: "Miss Changan, I was just about to send it to you. I was negligent today, please forgive me."
Although Lu Cai didn't say anything, it was obvious that he was punished.
Moreover, in the past, several people would deliver the cart of flowers to Lingqi Pavilion together, but today, Lu Cai was the only one to deliver it.
It's clearly bullying him.
Seeing Su Changan frowning, Lu Cai immediately said, "These are the lychee shells you wanted. These are all I have left. But I heard that some sisters in other places have kept some shells. I will get them for you tomorrow."
The slap mark on Lu Cai's face was still clearly visible, red and even turning purple.
Su Changan was about to say something, but after shaking his head, he looked at Maomao.
Maomao had already taken out the medicine at this time. Ever since the last battle between Yan Ruyu and Ye Wu, Maomao not only carried poison with him, but also some external injury medicine.
Su Changan took the green bottle from Maomao and handed it to Lu Cai.
Lu Cai looked at the small and beautiful bottle that Su Changan handed to him, and then saw the worried look on Su Changan's face. He felt flattered and didn't dare to take it.
Maomao said: "Apply it to the injured area for three days and the swelling and bruises will go away. It will be completely healed in a week."
Then Su Changan said, "If I tell you to accept it, then accept it."
Lu Cai pursed his lips, a little hesitant, but looking at Su Changan's pretty face, he finally took it with both hands: "Thank you, Miss Changan."
Su Changan smiled and rubbed Lu Cai's head with his hand: "Okay, just follow along. You haven't eaten yet, right? Xiangluo and the others should have prepared some food for midnight snack in the kitchen. You can go and eat with them."
Lu Cai is about the same age as Su Liheng, but maybe because he was not well nourished since childhood, he is small in stature and is a head shorter than Su Liheng.
While Su Changan was speaking, he pulled Lu Cai to the side and took the package of lychee shells from around his neck.
But the cart was pulled by Yan Ruyu.
Lu Cai became even more panicked. How could he let such an important figure as Deputy Commander Yan do such a thing as pulling a cart?
And Miss Changan was still holding the package.
But seeing Lu Cai's horrified and helpless look, Su Changan smiled and said, "You go push the cart."
Lu Cai wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to. He just nodded and ran to the back of the car and pushed it hard.
Su Changan glanced at Lu Cai and smiled, but didn't say much.
Goodwill that will always make the other party feel uneasy should be stopped, otherwise it will make the other party even more confused and nervous.
Lu Cai was at the end, pushing the cart very hard, but looking at Su Changan's back.
I remembered that today when I went to Xingqing Palace to deliver flowers, I was slapped by Xianghong because the plum branches I picked were not pretty.
Thinking that he had been in Xingqing Palace all day, he had forgotten about Miss Chang'an. He had just been scolded and kicked a few times by the eunuch in charge.
He also thought of Miss Chang'an's tenderness towards him just now, and her rubbing of his head.
Lu Cai inexplicably wanted to cry, he could feel tears in his eyes.
But with one wipe of the eyes, it was all wiped off.
He knew he couldn't cry.
When they arrived at Lingqi Pavilion, Su Changan asked Xiangluo and the others to take Lu Cai to the backyard to eat.
Originally, Xiangluo and the others should have brought it over, but when Lu thought about it being in the front yard hall, he was even more afraid to eat it.
So when he went to the backyard, where he and the others were not there and only Xiangluo and the other palace maids were there, Lu Cai should be able to relax a little.
Lu Cai originally refused, but he kept shaking his head and just wanted to take care of the flowers before leaving.
But Xuanxia and the others knew what Su Changan meant, so they pulled Lu Cai to the backyard.
Naturally, all these flowers were moved away by the Chixia Army in no time.
Originally, Su Changan wanted to let two people from the Chixia Army send Lu Cai back.
But this time, Lu Cai really refused to agree.
Su Changan didn't force it.
However, he forgot to give Lu Cai the money for the lychee shells, so he asked Xiangluo to take some snacks and chase after Lu Cai.
The empty cart was much easier to pull, so Lu Cai didn't feel any difficulty. Besides, he hadn't eaten for a day and had just eaten something to regain some strength.
But when Xiangluo stuffed the snacks and silver into his hand and said that Miss Chang'an had forgotten to give it to him,
Lu Cai stood there blankly, looking at the lighted entrance of Lingqi Pavilion.
Lu Cai opened the snack. After suffering a whole day of injustice, she couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears.
However, Lu Cai tried hard not to cry. He just shed tears, chewed snacks, and pulled the cart.
He missed his sister. In the past, when he was herding cattle and was bullied, his sister would rub his head and tell him not to cry.
After crying all the way, Lu Cai choked up as he carefully wrapped up the remaining snacks, put them in his arms, and then wiped away his tears.
But when passing by the garden.
Lu Cai saw the old man again.
At first, he was hiding in the flower garden because he had been wronged for a day, and that’s when he met this old man.
And now
Just like before, the old man waved at him.
Lu Cai heard from the nanny who was quite caring towards him that people wearing purple or red clothes should never be offended and that one should be polite when meeting them, even if it requires kneeling down.
The old man was wearing purple clothes.
That's why Lu didn't dare to disobey.
Seeing the old man waving at him again, Lu Cai walked over and said, "Grandpa."
Old Diao Si, who had gone back and was fishing with a bamboo pole without a fishing line, smiled and said, "Sit next to me."
Lu Cai wanted to say that he had to go back and report quickly, otherwise he would be punished again. However, looking at the purple clothes on Lao Diao Si, he did not dare to say such words. He just nodded and sat obediently beside Lao Diao Si.
Old Diao Si looked at the koi in the fish pond and said, "The flowers have all been delivered."
Lu Cai nodded: "Yeah."
Old Diao Si asked with a smile: "Do you think you are a human being?"
Lu Cai didn't understand and looked at Lao Diaosi in confusion.
Old Diao Si smiled and said, "If you enter the palace and lose your fertility, you are no longer a human being in the eyes of others. If you wear a colored leather, others will respect you in front of you, but you won't know how they are cursing you in their hearts."
"So, people like us are no different from dogs in the eyes of others. We are even worse than the lowest servants. Do you understand now?"
Lu Cai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood.
Because after entering the palace.
Except for the nanny, everyone around him was laughing at him, even those eunuchs who were also eunuchs were bullying him.
but
Thinking of Su Changan.
Thinking about how Su Changan spoke to her with a smile when they first met, and unlike others who snatched her things from her, or even forced her to buy them with money, he also gave her those expensive snacks.
Especially since he just gave himself such a beautiful and expensive bottle of potion.
As he thought about it, Lu Cai began to choke up.
Old Diao Si looked down at Lu Cai, smiled and said, "Do you treat you as a human being?"
this time.
Lu Cai nodded vigorously.
Old Diao Si said: "In this palace, if someone of such high status still treats you as a human being, you must treat her well and repay her with your life. Do you understand?"
Lu Cai nodded vigorously.
Old Diao Si looked at Lu Cai and said, "Lu Cai, which is harder, the palace or home?"
Lu Cai was stunned for a moment, but after thinking for a while, he lowered his head and whispered, "Home."
Lao Diaosi didn't say anything, just looked at Lu Cai.
Lu Cai's mouth trembled, thinking about continuing to speak, but he knew he couldn't say any more. However, after holding it in for a long time, he frowned and couldn't help but said, "My parents died, and my sister took care of me. Later, my sister was drowned and became sick. I was young and there was not much I could do. I helped people herd cattle to earn money for medicine. They threw manure and stones at me and called me an orphan. I thought about taking care of my sister, so I didn't care, but my sister still left."
Lu Cai's voice became lower and lower.
Tears also began to flow.
He also wanted to say that he was extremely anxious when he saw his sister closing her eyes and not saying anything, but it was useless, there was no use at all.
The palace is good because some people treat him as a human being.
Outside, no one treated him as a human being. They all treated him as a beast and a disaster, saying that he killed his parents and sister.
Lao Diaosi looked at Lu Cai and said nothing.
There are too many sufferings, especially for the children sold into this palace by human traffickers. No one is short of suffering.
The question is, how can you chew and swallow this bitterness?
Lao Diao Si said softly, "Give me one cake?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Cai sobbed for a while, then quickly wiped away his tears and took out the pastries that Miss Chang'an had just given him from his arms.
Old Diao Si took a bite and said with a smile, "I've always smelled the delicious food in Miss Chang'an's yard. It's really good."
As he was talking, he ate it in two bites. When he saw Lu Cai giving it to him again, he smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm old now. One is enough. If I eat more, I won't be able to sleep at night."
Lu Cai nodded.
And Lao Diao Si said: "From now on, you will follow me."
Lu Cai was stunned and a little surprised.
Old Diao Si shook his head: "If I had told anyone else, they would have knelt down and kowtowed to me by now."
When Lu Cai heard this, he thought that this was what the nanny had told him: if he was promoted by some noble people, he would soar to the sky.
I just planned to kneel down and kowtow to Lao Diao Si.
But just as he knelt down, he thought of something and asked, "If I follow you, can I still send flowers to Miss Chang'an?"
Lao Diao Si thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, the people of the Chixia Army will not agree."
Lu Cai frowned, then kowtowed to Lao Diao Si: "Grandpa, I know you want to promote me, but I still want to send flowers to Miss Chang'an. So I kowtow to you, I can't follow you. Miss Chang'an's flowers are very useful. I don't understand, but I must pick the best and most beautiful ones for her, otherwise it will delay her business. She treats me as a human being, I must repay her, repay her with my life."
Old Diao Si smiled, and when he saw Lu Cai, he really smiled for the first time: "If you nodded and said you wanted to follow me, you could just call me grandpa in the future, but since you said so, you can call me master from now on."
Lu Cai looked up, not quite understanding what Lao Diaosi meant.
Lao Diao Si didn’t expect Lu to understand, so he just said, “I’ll find a way for you to send the flowers, so if you want to stay here, then keep it.”
Lu Cai was a little confused.
Lao Diao Si reached out and rubbed his head: "You will understand later."
Lu Cai nodded, but after thinking for a while, he looked at Lao Diaosi and wanted to say something.
But Lao Diao Si seemed to have guessed it and asked, "Want to ask me why I asked you to follow me?"
Lu Cai nodded.
Old Diao Si smiled and said, "Because...Looking at you, it's like seeing myself back then. But I wasn't sold into the palace. I followed a noble who saved my life into the palace. But no one treated me as a human being, including that noble who saved my life. Except for that noble who treated me as a human being back then, no one else treated me as a human being."
Lu Cai didn’t quite understand. After saving his life, why didn’t they treat you as a human being? Moreover, you were wearing purple clothes, so how dare others bully you?
Lao Diao Si smiled helplessly, "From now on, you will understand everything you should know and understand."
Lu Cai nodded.
"Hey, Eunuch Song, why are you here?"
But at this moment, a eunuch from the flower room walked into the garden and saw Lao Diao Si at the first sight, and immediately ran over.
Song Diao Si did not go to see the person coming, but just looked at Lu Cai: "I will teach you the first thing."
Lu Cai was a little afraid of the young eunuch who came in, but when he saw his master said so, he nodded.
Bang!
The eunuch who just ran over bumped into the wall for no apparent reason!
Then he fell to the ground, motionless.
Lu Cai was surprised and didn't know what was going on.
Song Diao Si said, "We don't bully others, and there is no need to bully them. But if others bully us, we must kill them all. Those who cannot be killed now will be killed later."
Lu Cai was a little frightened, but for some reason, he subconsciously reached out and touched his swollen face, thinking of Xiang Hong who had beaten him.
…
Su Changan didn't think too much about Lu Cai's matter because there was not much time.
After all, since Hua came so late, the essential oil for the perfume must be made quickly.
In fact, according to Su Changan's plan, he didn't intend to bring so much. After all, it was getting late, so he thought of leaving it for tomorrow.
But since Lu Cai had given it to him, with his small body and so weak pulling the cart, Su Changan accepted it.
Anyway, now I am skilled in extracting essential oils and can do it very quickly.
but
Having said that, the quantity is a bit too much after all.
So it still took nearly two hours.
By the time everything was done, it was already late at night.
I originally wanted to take a shower and go to bed.
But what he didn't expect was that after leaving the room in the backyard where perfume was made, Yan Ruyu told him that His Majesty was in the hall.
Upon hearing this, Su Changan naturally rushed over.
When he arrived at the central courtyard, he saw Xia Fengxiang sleeping beside a low table.
Su Changan approached carefully, but just as he reached out and put his arms around Xia Fengxiang's waist, he immediately hugged Xia Fengxiang like a princess, picked her up, and wanted to take her to his room to sleep.
Xia Fengxiang suddenly opened his eyes: "What are you doing?"
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and said truthfully: "I'll carry you into the house and sleep."
