I want to be quiet for a while! "
"Okay, since this is my husband, I'll go back first..."
"Master, Miss, the hot water is here!"
Before Liu Mingzhi got up, Chun'er knocked on the door and walked in with five maids carrying steaming buckets!
Chun'er and the five maids nodded and walked behind the screen on the left and started pouring hot water into the tub. During this period, no one peeked to see what the two masters were doing!
In just a few breaths, the room was filled with smoke, like a fairyland on earth!
Yun Qingshi bit her thin lip and hesitated for a while before glancing at Liu Mingzhi: "The hot water is ready, I will wait for you to bathe and change clothes!"
"In that case I won't refuse!"
"Master, miss, please use it slowly!"
Chun'er chuckled and bowed to the two of them, walked out with a tray holding flower petals, and closed the door wisely.
Liu Mingzhi stood up and stretched out his arms, letting Yun Qingshi undress and untie him.
About halfway through the tea, Young Master Liu lay down lazily in the tub. Yun Qingshi, with a pretty face and a hot face, stood aside and used a comb to tidy up her husband's somewhat messy hair!
Liu Mingzhi put his arms on both sides of the tub and raised his head to let Yun Qingshi fix his hair!
"How can the way you undress reflect palace etiquette? Doesn't Tianxiang Tower still teach such high-level etiquette to serve guests?"
Yun Qingshi held the comb in her jade arm for a moment, looking slightly nervous!
"My husband is joking, how can I know the court etiquette? My husband must have made a mistake!"
A slight smile appeared on Liu Mingzhi's lips, and he nodded lightly: "Maybe, before marrying Yan'er in the past, Yan Rong, a female official in the palace, led several maids to tailor-made unicorn robes for her husband. Their dressing techniques and I still have some impression of the order, but it has been so long and Cheng Qian is so old, so it is understandable that I remembered it wrong. Maybe it was really my misunderstanding!"
Yun Qingshi's eyes were a little at a loss, and the comb in his hand was combing Liu Mingzhi's hair blankly, and it was always those few strands again and again.
"Perhaps I have been with sister Yan'er for too long, and I have picked up some habits. After all, sister Yan'er's maids are all brought from the palace as dowries. Sometimes, after watching too much, I can't help but feel... In my heart!”
"Ah?......Ah! That's true. I remember eight years ago when my husband just entered the C-character class of Dangyang Academy, Mrs. Liu's first lesson was about "the person who is close to Zhu, the one who is close to Mo". He is dark, and he lives with good people... At first, my husband didn’t understand what it meant, but now that I heard the poem and you explained it, I suddenly realized it!”
Yun Qingshi let out a silent sigh and began to concentrate on smoothing out the stains on her husband's hair!
"Qingshi, you've been here for so long. I forgot to ask you where you are from, who else is in your family, and how you ended up living in a brothel. I just have nothing to say, otherwise it would seem It's too embarrassing, so don't worry too much. My husband doesn't dislike you for being from a brothel. I know you are a married woman. You both have pure girls' bodies. When you meet the guests, you have to talk through the bead curtain. , I am just asking these questions because I am a little curious about your past, Qing Shi!"
Yun Qingshi's face changed slightly, she put down the comb in her hand and started wiping her husband's back with a hot towel!
"If it's not convenient for you to say it, don't say it. Just think that your husband is full and has nothing to say."
"No, I am from Kanzhou. My father and mother passed away a long time ago. There is also an eldest brother who was separated on the way to escape. I haven't seen him for more than ten years. I don't know if he is still there now. Still alive!"
"Kanzhou?"
"Yes, Kanzhou! Kanzhou in the North!"
"That Kanzhou on the east side of Fuzhou?"
"Well, Kanzhou happens to be under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou Prefecture!"
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and gently held Yun Qingshi's wrist and stroked it: "It is said that the soil and water support a person, but this is not necessarily true for my husband. Your little hands are so soft that they don't look like a girl from the North. She looks more like a girl from Jiangnan Water Town!"
"After I entered the Tianxiang Tower, my fingers were not touched by the spring water. Naturally, I have taken good care of myself. If I had not entered the Tianxiang Tower, but had gotten married early and become a mother-in-law, I am afraid that I would have turned into a yellow-faced woman!"
"The calluses on your palms are from working in your old home, right?"
"Yes...yes!"
"You just said that you and your elder brother got separated when you were fleeing. As for Kanzhou..."
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly as he recalled the various records he had read in the Ministry of Household Affairs: "The severe drought that lasted for a year in the 13th year of Xuande? After the disaster relief grains arrived in Kanzhou, Jinzhou and Thirteenth Prefecture At that time, His Majesty had not yet abolished the torture method of punishing the nine barbarians and three barbarians. At that time, the forty-nine officials, large and small, who had embezzled disaster relief money and disaster relief grains were all exterminated by the three barbarians!"
"My husband actually knows what happened at that time. I have almost forgotten what happened so long ago!"
Liu Mingzhi changed into a comfortable posture and sighed quietly!
"It's hard not to think about it. There was a severe drought in the thirteen prefectures of Kanzhou. Not a drop of water fell from the sky. The people had no harvest. The bark of the trees was all chewed up. In addition, the officials were corrupt and provided food for disaster relief. The people were starved to death. One hundred and seventy-eight thousand, three hundred and sixty-two people died. It is impossible for my husband not to know about such a tragedy! Let me tell you Qingshi..."
"Well...I am one of the survivors in Kanzhou!"
"Sigh... Natural disasters and man-made disasters are not terrible. No matter what kind of ups and downs there will be, one day it will pass. What is terrible is the human heart. Once the human heart becomes vicious, nothing in the world can compare with it. It has been so long since my husband happened in Qingzhou Mansion and I still feel frightened when I think about it!"
"Some officials regard human life as nothing for their own selfish interests! The people are displaced and have no food to eat. Sometimes I even think about it. Maybe this thinking may be a bit cruel. As long as these officials still have a little bit of conscience, why not give them a happy life? Starve to death, that’s a real suffering!”
"Of course I know about your husband's great achievements in disaster relief in Qingzhou. It's a pity that the hundreds of thousands of people in Kanzhou, my hometown, are blindly looking forward to the arrival of a Qingtian Grand Master, an upright official who makes decisions for the people! Qingzhou Prefecture The common people are truly lucky to have a husband who serves as an imperial envoy to control the locust plague!"
"Sigh... My husband is not a good person, but I know what is right and wrong! You must have a yardstick in your mind about what money you should be greedy for and what you should do. Otherwise, if you cross the line one day, It’s hard to go back!”
"The biggest rule in my heart as a husband is that I must never do things that disregard human life and treat people like ants!"
Yun Qingshi poured some water on her husband with a wooden ladle, looked at the screen with melancholy and sighed!
"If my husband could have been born twenty years earlier, perhaps my fate would have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the shackles of fate would no longer be imprisoned on me. Unfortunately, there is no if! I can only blame my untimely birth! "
"Rights are originally things given by those in lower positions to those in higher positions. How many people have forgotten their roots after taking power. The world is like this. Isn't it possible that the power of one person can turn things around!"
