Rise From the Humble

In the early morning, everything is silent, and the eastern sky gradually shines with wisps of light, slowly revealing the fish belly white, as clean as an ink painting with light ink, slowly outlining the vibrant morning light.

A new day has begun.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines from Dingyuan Hou Mansion and Wei Guogong Mansion on the east side of Gonghou Street to Linhuai Hou Mansion, with its red bricks, green tiles and cornice corridors, which is very pleasing to the eye.

The maids of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion were in an orderly manner, shuttling back and forth between the backyard, the corridor, and the hanging flower door, helping the master get up, preparing breakfast, cleaning the courtyard, and starting a new day's work.

Baozi's little maid also entered the young lady and uncle's bedroom early, and came in to help her young lady get up and wash up.

Today, Baozi's little maid's dark circles are worse than yesterday, with two dark circles under her eyes, like a red panda.

Last night, while she was on duty in the suite, she suffered from insomnia again.

"Shhh"

The little maid Baozi had just entered the master bedroom and was about to say hello to the young lady when she saw her young lady sitting on the bed, putting her green-white jade finger between her lips, making a silent gesture to herself, and then gently pointed with her slender hand. Finger embroidery on the bed pillow.

The little maid Baozi followed the young lady's finger and saw her uncle still sleeping soundly on the bed.

rarely seen.

My uncle, who usually gets up very early, is still sleeping soundly at this moment, sleeping very deeply, as if he has been tired for a long time.

Compared to the sleeping Zhu Ping'an and the little maid with dark circles under her eyes, Li Shu is very energetic, and not even the slightest bit energetic.

From the perspective of the little maid Baozi, her young lady seems to be different this morning. She feels more beautiful, her face is more shiny and elastic, her complexion seems to be whiter, brighter and more delicate, and her whole body looks like a ripe peach. , the water seems to drip out of water.

"Be gentle and let him sleep a little longer."

Li Shuxing looked at the sleeping Zhu Ping'an with ecstasy, her pretty face flushed, she gently tucked Zhu Ping'an's quilt, her lips were slightly parted, and she spoke inaudibly to the little maid Baozi.

Uh-huh

Hearing this, the little maid Baozi nodded, and then gently helped her young lady get up.

Hiss.

In order not to wake Zhu Ping'an from his sleep, Li Shu was served by Baozi's little maid and went to wash up outside.

"Miss."

When Baozi's little maid served her young lady to wash up, she looked at her young lady hesitantly.

"What's wrong, Hua'er?" Li Shu saw Baozi's little maid's expression in the mirror and asked softly.

"Miss, you, you seem to be a little different today." The little maid Baozi looked at her young lady up and down again and nodded her little head.

"What's different?" Li Shu's pretty face flushed slightly, and her watery eyes glanced sideways at the little maid Baozi.

"Miss, she seems to be more beautiful and her skin is better," the little maid Baozi said with certainty.

"It's so early in the morning. Did you put honey on your little mouth?"

Li Shuying's lips curved up, she stretched out her slender hand to pinch the baby girl's fat cheek, and teased in a sweet voice.

The little maid Baozi looked at her young lady, as if she still had something to say, but she hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Li Shu looked at the little maid Baozi with watery eyes and asked.

"Just now, the young lady was walking a little strangely," the little maid Baozi hesitated for a while and said with her head shrinking.

When Li Shu heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned red.

In the master bedroom, Zhu Ping'an slowly woke up after sleeping for a while. He opened his eyes and found that he was alone in the bedroom. The window was closed with bead curtains, and the sunlight was blocked. The indoor light was very suitable for sleeping. .

The unique fragrance of Li Shu still lingers on the pillow, and it smells very good.

get up

Judging from the position of the sun outside, it must have been past Chen hour. I didn't expect to sleep for so long. It was probably the first time I slept in.

"Uncle, I'm up."

Baozi's little maid saw Zhu Ping'an leaving the bedroom, stood up and said hello, her face was red and her eyes were a little unnatural.

"morning."

Zhu Ping'an didn't notice the look in Baozi's maid's eyes, and nodded with a slight smile.

After Zhu Pingan finished washing, breakfast had been laid out in the living room. Zhu Pingan looked at Li Shu, who was being cleaned by the little maid Baozi, and knew that this girl was waiting for him to have breakfast, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

After sitting down, looking at the radiant, beautiful and energetic Li Shu, Zhu Ping'an felt a little unfair. This girl was so defeated last night and spread like a pool of spring water, but today she is so radiant and more delicate, like a girl. It's the same as a big supplement.

My legs are still a little weak now.

"Idiot, sit down and have a meal. I can't eat it." Seeing Zhu Ping'an looking at her intently, Li Shu couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said angrily.

The breakfast is light, hearty and nourishing.

A stack of steamed buns, six plates of side dishes, and a bowl of vegetable and beef soup suddenly awakened Zhu Pingan's appetite.

Especially when there was a pile of familiar pickled cucumbers on the table, Zhu Pingan's appetite was greatly increased. He took a bite and found it was crisp and refreshing. It was an appetizer for the meal. The taste was very familiar, but it was still a little different from what his mother, Chen, made, but it was more delicious. Delicious.

"My uncle is really lucky. This is the pickled cucumber that the young lady specially learned from my wife at home. She also consulted a cook who is good at pickling, improved the method, added several nourishing ingredients, and finally made a small jar." The little maid said while serving dishes.

"Talk too much."

Li Shu glanced at Baozi's little maid with watery eyes and scolded her, but her voice didn't sound reproachful.

"It tastes so good. I really enjoy it."

Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly, took over what the little maid Baozi said, and praised the pickled cucumbers.

"My mother-in-law told me that you love to eat and insisted on teaching me. The cooks at home can't leave them idle." Li Shu pouted her little mouth proudly and waved her hands carelessly, with a smile all over her body. A proud temperament.

Zhu Ping'an smiled but did not point it out.

Before breakfast was finished, two little girls walked into Tingyuxuan quickly, holding a roll of documents stamped with a red seal in their hands.

The two little girls trotted into the yard and shouted out of breath:

"Miss, uncle, the official document from the Ministry of Punishment has arrived. The chief steward sent someone to the second gate. Mother Zhang got the official document and sent it to us."
