Chapter 23:

Gu Suier woke up slowly in the sound of wind and rain.
When I opened my eyes, I heard the slight wind blowing on the windows outside the tent, and the sound of water droplets on the eaves falling on the steps.
She thought, it turned out that not only was it windy last night, it also rained.
In the autumn rain season, when it rains, the sky will be cooler. It seems that it is really going to cool down.
In the past, in the village, when this season came, her mother would take out the stored winter clothes, dry them and patch up the holes, and then pour some old cotton covers in places that were too thin to prepare for the cold winter.
It took a long time for her to remember that she was in Ruiding Hou Mansion. The people here lived a rich life. They never worry about winter clothes, only joy for a poem, and sigh for the fallen leaves in autumn. .
She leaned on her side, intending to get up, only to find that there was a person lying beside her.
Xiao Heng.
After a moment of stunned, he slowly remembered last night. When I remembered, his face was as if the glow of light reflected in the white jade, and the face slowly turned red.
This bed, which belonged to her alone, was used to sleeping, but now it feels a bit strange to have a man lying in her life.
She lay there quietly, looking foolishly at the man's profile.
For men like Meiyu, the average man is definitely not suitable, but for him, it is just right.
She had never seen him falling asleep with his eyes closed, but now she took a closer look and found that he fell asleep better than usual.
In the daytime, I always feel that this person is aloft, good-looking is good-looking, but like the snow on the mountain, it is difficult to get close to.
Now that she was asleep and lying flat, she couldn't help but look more.
Without the dark eyes that were so deep as to see through people's hearts, the sharpness of this person suddenly disappeared.
The black willow eyebrows happen to be everywhere, neither wide nor narrow, with a very tall nose, like a straight mountain, and the lips below...
Looking at his lips, she couldn't help but think of that day, her face flushed, she didn't dare to think about it, she could only think about other things desperately, remembering last night for a while, she couldn't help wondering what he met in the palace, did the emperor He was punished, why did he stand in front of her bed without saying a word after returning?
Just thinking about it, the man with his eyes closed opened his eyes.
Unprepared, Gu Suier was frightened.
She was staring at him very close, and now he suddenly opened his eyes, and the unsuspecting man who was asleep disappeared, replaced by the majestic and cold person during the day.
Being so close to him, she has a guilty conscience and trembles.
After a long silence, she drew back slowly.
He reached out and grabbed her by the shoulder, not allowing her to escape.
So her figure was frozen, and the two people had eyes to eye and nose to nose, only one fist away.
Looking at Han Tan, whose eyes were so deep that they couldn't see to the bottom, Gu Suier felt like he was about to be sucked in by those eyes.
She bit her lip, so embarrassed that she didn't know where to swing her eyes.
Xiao Heng actually woke up long ago, he just didn't bother to open his eyes.
The nephrite Wenxiang beside him made him want to lie there all the time.
Later she woke up and lay down and watched him secretly, she knew it too.
I opened my eyes suddenly, not to scare her, but to look at her.
Now that she saw her wet, jet-black eyes rolling around, her white teeth biting her red lips, so innocent and charming, he couldn't help it.
But with her pregnant, he dare not do anything.
Concentrating on a beautiful blush in her ear for a moment, he finally got up: "It's getting late, get up for dinner."
Gu Suier had seen fire in his eyes before, and his heart was pounding, his face was red and his ears were hot. Unexpectedly, his face suddenly faded, and he nodded hurriedly: "Um... OK."
At this time, I saw Xiao Heng getting up to get dressed.
When Gu Suier saw it, she suddenly remembered that she should serve Xiao Heng. Should she dress Xiao Heng?
But she doesn't know how to wear it. If Mother An is there, just give her some advice.
Thinking of this, she looked outside the house for help.
It's a pity that Mother Ann is not there.
At this time, Xiao Heng had already settled down and took the toga next to him.
Gu Suier bit her scalp and leaned forward: "Master San, I will wait for you to put on clothes."
Xiao Heng glanced at her somewhat unexpectedly, Qingling Ling's misty eyes, weak bones and slim people, bulging belly supporting her white coat, she was like a beautiful flower blooming in the early morning. Little flowers, thin stems, can't hold up that big belly.
But said to serve him dressing.
He looked at her silently, the ghost and goddess did not refuse.
So Gu Suier stepped forward, took the robe in his hand, unfolded it, and tried to put it on him.
But how tall he is, she is such a petite one, she put on the left sleeve for him only on tiptoes, and then served the right side.
After putting on all the sleeves, she began to tie him a belt.
But how to tie it, she has never tied it to a man before, and where should the lining in the robe be placed?
She is worried.
Xiao Heng lowered his head like this, sniffing the faint fragrance that entered his nose, watching the delicate woman busy around him, busy for a long time, and stopped moving. Looking down, she frowned her delicate brows and looked at her chest, as if Zhengshou didn't know how to start, so she was embarrassed.
He didn't say a word, just looked at her like that.
Finally, her eyes lit up, as if she had an idea, and she was about to go behind him again.
Unexpectedly, when she raised her foot, she was tripped by the strap below, and she whispered.
She almost fell, and he quickly reached out to support her.
When he did this, she discovered the difference between men and women.
The man's arms were as solid as pig iron, firmly holding her delicate body, and then holding her shoulders with both hands.
Gu Suier lowered her head and bit her lip, her eyes afraid to look at Xiao Heng.
"San Ye...I'm fine...I will continue to serve you in dressing?"
serve?
Xiao Heng stared at her, how dare he let her serve.
At the moment, she helped her sit down first, then neatly put on the robe, and then pulled her clothes over.
That's right, he really pulled it over.
"Gah?" She was surprised to see her thin clothes being held in his hands, a little shy, but more do not understand.
What is he doing?
Xiao Heng started to help her dress.
Gu Suier suddenly became a wooden person.
She did what he asked her to do. He asked her to raise her hand, and she quickly raised her hand.
He also helped her to tie the strap to the top of her belly, loosely so as not to strangle the tadpole.
Through the clothes, he touched her belly.
"Why didn't you move this morning?" He remembered that her belly would stir from time to time.
"I have eaten, he loves to move." Gu Suier said lowly.
"Then have a meal first."
The breakfast is thin-skin spring cocoon buns, milk-skin biscuits, butterfly rolls, with milk soup and yellow rice gruel, and because Gu Suier is now pregnant, the lady ordered it to go down, and specially added another dish every morning , Today I added two cooked fried fresh fish.
Gu Suier usually eats alone, but just set up a small table. Now that there is suddenly more Xiao Heng, the small table feels cramped, but I can't find such a suitable table for a while, so I can only make do.
The food was set, and Gu Suier ate with Xiao Heng.
During the meal, Gu Suier remembered what happened yesterday and always wanted to ask him, but she didn't know how to speak.
After so many times, Xiao Heng finally raised his head: "What's the matter?"
When Gu Suier saw him asking, she hurriedly said, "It's nothing, just thinking that San Ye seemed to have entered the palace last night?"
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Xiao Heng said: "It's nothing, I'm in the palace, the emperor said a few words."
Gu Suier: "Then what?"
Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows: "Then what else?"
Gu Suier was speechless for a while.
Xiao Heng: "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, just raise your baby with peace of mind."
Gu Suier looked at Xiao Heng quietly: "Would you not cause trouble to the third master?"
Xiao Heng heard this and said calmly: "No."
After hearing this, Gu Suier was finally relieved.
Although she didn't understand why Xiao Heng had offended the princess, why she was still safe, but she felt that there were too many things she didn't understand, so she didn't need to understand this matter.
As long as she knows that he will not cause trouble, that is enough.
He pursed his lips and chuckled softly: "Thank you Sanye for protecting Suier."
Xiao Heng looked at her with a shy smile, her pink cheeks flushed, and she was a little uncomfortable, so he changed the subject at will: "Why don't you eat that fish?"
The two cooked and fried fresh fishes were fried on both sides with golden brown and crispy oil. They looked delicious, but Gu Suier had not moved his chopsticks.
Gu Suier glanced at the fish and explained in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's a bit cold, I don't dare to eat it."
Her stomach is not good. The last time she ate some meaty fish, it was cold, and her stomach was uncomfortable that day. After that, if there is any meaty and cold in the morning, let the people below eat it.
Xiao Heng listened, stretched out his chopsticks, took out some and tasted it, it was really cold.
It turned out that the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 was already here. The weather was okay if it was hot or not, but it was cold because of the rain last night.
The kitchen in the mansion is large, and there are a lot of considerations in it. A plate of fried fresh fish prepared in advance, from the time it is fried and placed there, then the maid passes over and takes the fried fish and puts it on the table in front of Gu Suier. At that time, it was cold.
Others, such as steamed buns and milk, are okay because they are placed in a large stove.
Gu Suier looked at Xiao Heng's expression unconsciously, so she hurriedly said, "I can't blame others, it's really cold now, and they have specially made a fried fish, which must be prepared early. Besides, my stomach was not well digested. Rough tea and light rice will do. I can’t get used to this big fish and meat.

Xiao Heng was silent for a moment, but said, "There are many people in the Hou Mansion, and the lady who is in charge of Zhongxiu must also not take care of it. As for the kitchen, they have to take care of the meals of the old lady and the lady and the grandma and young masters below. , It is inevitable that I have missed something. Tomorrow, I will go back to my wife and I will be listening to a small stove in Zhuyuanlei to warm up some simple meals for you, so that if you get hungry in the morning and evening, you can eat comfortably."
When Gu Suier heard this, she hurriedly said, "How about that, no need!"
She has been in this Hou Mansion for a long time, and she knows some of the rules in the Hou Mansion. Hou's Mansion is not like that small family, everything is at will.
In this mansion, there are several things that need to be strictly investigated, one is that the door is closed to enter and exit, and the other is the private fire.
The first one is to guard against thieves and theft. The latter is to prevent fire.
In each courtyard, if you want to build a private stove, it must be approved by the eldest lady, and there are special maidservants to guard them. There are rules.
Nowadays, apart from the old lady and the old lady, there are only two young grandmothers in Houfu. Because there is a young lady, they each set up a private stove. The others are not treated like this by Xiao Jin.
So when Gu Suier heard it, she quickly said no, she didn't want that. How could it be worth the trouble!
However, as soon as she said no, Xiao Heng glanced at her lightly.
When he saw that, she suddenly became half short.
I feel that I am wrong, a big mistake, a guilty conscience, and a bad reason.
She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "It's really unnecessary. Sooner or later, Mother Ann asks Qingyue to go to the stove to pick up two large pots of boiling water. If you need something to drink, just add water. I can eat anything. I have a good appetite."
Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and asked quietly, "Didn't you have a bad digestion?"
Gu Suier remembered what she said just now, she was ashamed and could not wait to get under the table.
After thinking about it hard, I finally came up with an argument and said weakly: "I don't eat meat well, but everything else is pretty good..."
However, Xiao Heng obviously did not believe it.
"I'll talk to the lady, you don't have to think about it."
