Drunken Crane Immortal

Hua Zhaoshui didn't know how long she slept this time, but only vaguely remembered being fed water once, and when she woke up, she was still held tightly in her arms.He stayed quietly for a while, and then changed the way to wake up the young master - he purposely rubbed against the man's arms, and wrapped his arms around the man's waist.

Sure enough, he woke up without moving twice, stroked his hair, and said, "Are you awake?"

Hua Zhaoshui hummed, and wanted to take her hand back, but was grabbed by the wrist. The young master asked him, "Does it still hurt?"

Hua Zhaoshui moved her head, said in a low voice, "I feel pain everywhere now."

Probably because he ate what he was thinking about, Sheng Jianwei now seemed patient and good-tempered, touched his waist, and asked, "Is this where it hurts?"

Hua Zhaoshui was itchy from his touch, so she couldn't help hiding for a while, and was afraid that he would cause trouble early in the morning, so she grabbed his hand and said, "Master, what time is it? I'm so hungry."

Sheng Jian smiled and said, "It's time for lunch soon. Get up when you're hungry, and ask someone to get you something to eat."

As he spoke, he put on his clothes and got up first. Hua Zhaoshui watched him pack up and go out before he dared to sit up.

But as soon as he moved, he felt pain in his bones and flesh, and it took him a long time to put on his clothes.Feeling dejected, he thought to himself, this time he felt that half his life was gone, if he always stayed by the young master's side in the future, wouldn't his life be shortened?

After a while, Sheng Jianwei came in from the outside, followed by Bu Cai's servants, and he was lying on the bed listlessly, motionless.After everyone else had gone out, Sheng Jianwei walked over and suddenly picked him up horizontally. Seeing his panicked appearance, he smiled and said, "What are you doing? Could it be that you're sleepy again?"

Hua Zhaoshui grabbed his arm, her cheeks were flushed, she buried her face in his arms in shame when she heard his question, and said in a muffled voice, "No..."

"Then what's the matter?"

Sheng Jianwei carried him to the dining table while talking, and was about to put him down, but he hugged his neck tightly, unwilling to let go no matter what.

"Master," Hua Zhaoshui's cheeks turned even redder, and he said nervously, "You hit too hard yesterday, and it hurts me."

Sheng Jianwei understood instantly, couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's so pitiful, can you still walk?"

"Yes, yes..." Hua Zhaoshui's voice became lower and lower, her body tensed up because of her shame, and said, "But I can't go well."

Sheng Jianwei let him sit in his arms, fed him porridge, and deliberately said: "Then what should I do? Aren't you going home? How can you go home now?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Zhaoshui became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Master, I... can I go back tomorrow? It should be fine soon."

Sheng Jianwei looked at him with a pleading face, fed him another spoonful, and said, "I didn't say that I wouldn't let you go back. What are you in a hurry? Did I wrong you here?"

Hua Zhaoshui was so anxiously fed by him that she almost choked, hurriedly grabbed his hand, swallowed the porridge and said, "Master, I just miss my mother, and I heard that she has been coughing all the time. I couldn't sleep well all night, so I was a little anxious."

Sheng Jianwei put down the spoon, looked at him and said, "Then you go back tomorrow. I'm going to be on duty in the palace, and I won't be able to come back at night. You can stay for a while—but before the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, I will see you here." do you understand?"

Hua Zhaoshui was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, young master! I'll be back early the day after tomorrow."

Sheng Jian snorted and said, "So happy. Are you happy to go home, or happy not to see me?"

Hua Zhaoshui's smile froze, and she hurriedly said, "Of course I'm happy to be home, and the young master gave me such a long vacation, so I'm even happier."

Sheng Jianwei was noncommittal, raised his chin, and asked him to continue eating.

The young master went to the palace early the next morning, and Sheng Jianwei might have seen that he did not have two good pieces of meat the night before, and did not make things difficult for him, so Hua Zhaoshui could only be alive and well when he woke up in the morning.

He packed all the pastries he had brought back, calculated the time, and felt that his mother should go back soon, so he went home happily.

As soon as he got home, he saw that Aying was preparing to make dinner. He put down his things and called out to his mother happily.Aying turned around and saw him. She was happy at first, but then embarrassed, and complained: "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back? I didn't prepare anything. You can only eat something that doesn't taste good with your mother."

"You don't need to prepare anything, I just want to come back and have a look." Hua Zhaoshui opened the paper bag containing the snacks, pinched a piece and walked over, saying, "Mother, I went to the south of the Yangtze River with the young master some time ago and brought it back. There are a lot of snacks, you can taste them delicious."

Aying was busy cooking, took a bite with his hand, and said with a smile: "It's really delicious——has the young master made things difficult for you recently?"

Hua Zhaoshui continued to feed her the piece of pastry, she didn't want to say anything, so she said perfunctorily, "It's okay."

A Ying turned her head to look at him, and said, "Why is this tone? The young master bullied you again?"

Hua Zhaoshui went to help bring out the steamed flower rolls, and said: "Young master has a temper that is unpredictable... just worrying about it every day. As for other things, the young master has not treated me badly."

Aying cooked white porridge, took out two bowls, and said, "I know, you don't want to tell me, for fear that I will worry, but it's not the first day I know what kind of master that person is, so you kept it from me. What's the point."

She handed him the bowl and said, "I knew you would come back, and I would cook you the sweet lotus seed soup you like, but this is all cooked, so you can just eat it. But I don't cook much, we I can only eat a little."

Hua Zhaoshui took it over and said: "The young master gave me leave early in the morning, but I thought you must still be busy, so I can only come here now. Fortunately, I don't have to rush back at night, the young master today I'm on duty in the palace at night, so I can't come back."

The mother and son sat across from each other to eat, Aying sighed again, and said: "You have suffered a lot these years, and when you have saved enough money, you will go out of the house and go to Boss Song. Boss Song is a kind man. , you go to him, I don't worry."

Hua Zhaoshui's hand holding the spoon paused, glanced at A Ying, and asked tentatively, "Mother, how much money is there?"

As soon as Aying said this, she beamed with joy, and said: "It's all your own efforts, and the money you brought, mother has saved it for you. I asked some time ago, and you can go out with six taels of silver. It's just a few pennies away now, I'll figure it out, it won't be long, or after this month's wages are released, you can go to your wife and get the contract back."

Hua Zhaoshui didn't show any happy expression, instead she was a little gloomy, stirring the spoon in the bowl, and said, "The money is for me, what should you do?"

Aying picked up some food for him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is your father. He is too busy to go home every day. He has saved some money, which is enough for us. When you go to Boss Song's place, the monthly salary will be more than [-]%. There are many people in the mansion, and they also take care of food and lodging. Besides, you get more rewards for singing in the mansion than others, let alone mention it."

The more Aying talked, the happier she was. She put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said: "It's different when the spectators are holding it outside, and it's different from the masters. If the spectators like you, you are a fairy; in the mansion, no matter how much the masters like you." You, you are still a slave. Xiaohua, do you understand?"

Hua Zhaoshui reluctantly smiled at her and said, "I understand, of course I want to go out too."

Aying stared at him, saw his eyes flicker, and the smile on his face fell, and said, "Then why do you look unhappy? Don't you want to come out?"

Hua Zhaoshui quickly waved her hands and said, "How could it be? Let alone the fear and fear inside, even if you are busy working for me every day, it is impossible for me not to want to come out."

"Then why do you have this expression? Is there any difficulty that you didn't tell your mother?"

Hearing her question, Hua Zhaoshui couldn't restrain her grievances, her nose was sore, and she said, "Mother, I want to come out, but I'm afraid that the young master won't let me go. He...he said last time that he wouldn't let me go." Nod, I can't go anywhere..."

A Ying was stunned for a while, as if she had some guesses, she didn't speak for a while, but just looked at him from time to time.

Hua Zhaoshui felt more and more embarrassed, lowered her head, unable to take a bite of food.

After a long time, Aying spoke with difficulty and asked him: "Master... Did you force you to do something?"

It was okay if she didn't ask, but Hua Zhaoshui's tears fell after this question, feeling ashamed and wronged, she pulled down the collar by herself, revealing the bruises all over her neck.

A Ying hurriedly came to see him, she couldn't say anything except ouch, she just kept touching his face, and she took a long time before speaking, her voice was a little choked, and said: "You see, you If you stay here, you can't refuse this kind of thing. I know your difficulties, so we have to go out, and we are being manipulated by others every day. What's the point of living?"

Hua Zhaoshui went to hold her hand, looked up at her and said, "Mother, can I really go out? I'm scared."

"Are you afraid of the young master?"

Hua Zhaoshui nodded, and said: "What the young master said was never meant to scare people. If he doesn't nod, I will go out, and he will definitely not let me go."

A Ying patted him on the back lightly, and said: "Then let's pick a day when the young master is not around, and go directly to tell the madam—even if he tells the young master about this kind of thing, he still has to go back to the madam, no It's considered overstepping. When you go out, I'll see if the young master is angry. If he is angry, you hide first. When Boss Song's team leaves Jinyun City, you follow. No one will be able to find you then. "

As soon as Hua Zhaoshui heard the words "young master is angry", she couldn't help being afraid, her hands trembled a little, she hid in her mother's arms, and said, "Is it really possible? I said last time that the little bird is He couldn’t be locked up, he was born for a long time. At first I thought he had forgotten about it, but he actually bought a lot of larks and thrushes today, and hung them under the eaves, since early in the morning Yelling, it made me panic."

Aying patted him on the back lightly, gritted her teeth, and said, "We went out dignifiedly, and we didn't run away secretly. Why wouldn't he let people go? Besides, there are so many places to go in the world, and we can always go out." Dodge him."
