Chapter 7 Don't Cry
Chunzhi paused slightly. She didn't expect that this seemingly indifferent man would ask her why she was crying.
She cried all the way, and with so many things in her hands, she had no hands free to wipe her tears.
Maybe it was because his face was covered with tear marks, he looked really embarrassed and pitiful.
Chunzhi felt it was too embarrassing to cry because she was abandoned by the number one scholar and humiliated in public by his wife, and when she fought back, she was protected by everyone.
She sniffed, "I, I spent a lot of money buying things for you. Can't I cry out of sadness?"
Huo Zheng was shocked when he heard this: "..."
This girl is obsessed with money.
You're crying because you spent some money to buy some cloth, medicine and food?
Chunzhi didn't say much to him, turned around and walked into the house.
It is really embarrassing to be seen crying.
Especially since she wasn't familiar with this man.
The relationship between them was far from the point where they could talk about these things.
Chunzhi lowered her head and walked quickly past Huo Zheng carrying a bunch of things.
Huo Zheng said behind her: "I will return the silver to you when I recover."
Chunzhi said without turning her head: "Then you must keep your word."
Huo Zheng said, "My words are always my bond."
Chunzhi didn't respond and put everything on the Eight Immortals Table in the main hall. Then she took the pork, food, kitchen knives and other things to the kitchen, washed her hands, and walked back to the Eight Immortals Table to carry the two pieces of cloth into the house.
She sat alone in the room for a long time before she calmed down. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and washed her face with water.
Huo Zheng had been fiddling with the wheelchair in the yard.
Soon, he was able to use the wheelchair freely. He pushed the wheels to Chunzhi and handed her a valuable jade pendant. "This is for you."
"Give me?"
Chunzhi had seen this jade pendant yesterday when she was applying medicine to the man's wound.
You can tell at a glance that it is very valuable and not an ordinary item.
She didn't reach out to take it immediately. Instead, she asked curiously, "This is the only valuable thing you have on you. If you give it to me, what will you do with yourself?"
Huo Zheng had lived for more than twenty years, and this was the first time someone was worried about what he would do if he had no money.
His mood was a little subtle, but his face still looked somewhat indifferent, "I have my own way."
In fact, Chunzhi was not crying because of this person's money.
But when the man asked, she didn't know how to answer, so she just made up an excuse.
I didn't expect that he actually took it seriously.
Seeing that she had not accepted the jade pendant, Huo Zheng directly stuffed it into her hand and said in a muffled voice, "Take it and stop crying."
The priceless jade pendant felt warm in her hand, with a hint of the warmth of a man's palm, and Chunzhigang was a little touched.
The next moment, I heard him say, "You cry ugly, don't cry next time."
Chunzhi suddenly: "..."
Bai was moved.
The man stayed to recuperate, and it was only right for him to eat and drink her food and drink and give her some valuable things.
Thinking this, Chunzhi put the jade pendant away.
This man has such a vicious tongue, he deserves to bleed.
Chunzhi hid the jade pendant in the box and started to work.
The tofu she sells is all made fresh early in the morning. In the past, after soaking the beans in the afternoon, she would go back to the Lu family to take care of Old Madam Lu. Now that she is no longer a member of the Lu family, she doesn't need to do those things anymore and can take a break in the afternoon.
But there was a strange man in the yard. She couldn't sleep and didn't want to think about what happened between her and Lu Jingyun, so she thought about finding something to do.
She was busy and had no time to think about the things that made her sad.
Xiujie, who was buying cloth, stuffed two pieces of cloth into her hands, one piece of bamboo green and the other piece of sky blue, both colors suitable for both men and women. The last time Chunzhi went to the clothing store to buy men's clothes, Qian Sanniang asked her all kinds of questions, so it would be difficult to explain if she went to buy clothes again.
She wanted to use the two pieces of cloth to make clothes for the man.
I just took someone's jade pendant, so it's only right that I make two sets of clothes for him.
Chunzhi thought about this, found the ruler, walked to the window and called to the man in the yard, "Huo Qi, come here."
Huo Zheng sat in the wheelchair, turning the wheel with both hands. He turned to look at Chunzhi, but did not come forward immediately. "What are you doing?"
Chunzhi raised the ruler in her hand and showed it to him, "I'll measure your size and make clothes for you."
In fact, she could also walk into the yard.
But just as Huo Qi said that her crying was ugly, Chunzhi asked him to push the wheelchair over by himself.
But Huo Zheng still didn't come.
Chunzhi said, "Forget it. It's not like I don't have clothes to wear anyway."
As she said this, she was about to put the ruler back into the drawer.
Huo Zheng couldn't stand not having a change of clothes, so he slowly pushed the wheelchair into the house.
The house is not big and there is nothing much decorated in it, but Chunzhi has kept it very clean.
She walked up to Huo Zheng and asked, "Can you still stand up? Do you want me to help you?"
"Need not."
Huo Zheng put one hand on the armrest of the wheelchair and forced himself to stand up.
The injury to his leg wasn't so serious that he couldn't stand up, but he was confined to a wheelchair because of the injury.
"Hands up."
Chunzhi took a ruler and measured his shoulders, arms, and waist...
They measured one by one, and when they reached the front, Chunzhi was very close to the man, so close that they could clearly hear each other's breathing.
The surging energy and blood unique to a strong man hit Chunzhi's face, and she blushed unconsciously.
She sped up her measurements and quickly stepped away.
At this moment, Huo Zheng suddenly lost his balance and fell towards her.
Chunzhi quickly reached out to support the man, but was suddenly hugged by the man.
She was stunned for a moment, then quickly pushed Huo Zheng away and asked him to sit back in the wheelchair.
Huo Zheng groaned, as if he had accidentally hit a wound.
Chunzhi looked a little bewildered and said, "Are you...are you okay?"
Huo Zheng didn't say anything, but just looked at her with dark eyes.
The man's eyes were as dark as the deep sea, as if they could swallow everything.
Chunzhi took two steps to the side, picked up the cloth and gestured to the man, "Okay, go out, I'm going to make clothes for you."
Huo Zheng looked at her for a long time before pushing the wheel out.
After the man left, Chunzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
When she was nine years old, she was picked up by Lu Jingyun and taken to the Lu family. She lived with him for many years and took his measurements and made clothes for him many times, but she had never blushed and her heart beat as fast as today.
Chunzhi calmed herself down and raised her hand to touch her face.
I thought it was because I was too close to the strange man.
I have to stay away from him in the future.
Huo Zheng, who was outside the door, watched Chunzhi busying herself in the house through the wooden window. He remembered that when she approached him just now, the unique faint fragrance on her body lingered on his nose, which made his blood boil even though he had never been interested in women.
He closed his eyes, and the restlessness that suddenly surged in his heart was so difficult to suppress.
Do you have to measure the size so carefully?
Is this country girl trying to seduce me on purpose?!
