The Rich and Powerful Chang An Chapter 38

Chapter 38

The place Qinxin wanted to go was Wang Residence's main courtyard, to be precise, Wang Fei's courtyard.

She knew that Wang Fei was confined, but she still wanted to go, at least to let Wang Fei know that she had risked being punished by Wang Ye to see him.

She thought back to that day when Minyu offended Wang Fei, and Wang Ye's punishment. Qinxin's heart wondered, even if Wang Ye liked the girl named Nanxi, then what about it? Even if Wang Ye liked the girl so much, the way he gave to vent anger was nothing more than only to punish Wang Fei by confinement. Wang Fei was bestowed by His Majesty. Even if Wang Ye was not satisfied with him, he could not abolish Wang Fei!

That woman was regarded as what, getting fond by Wang Ye, having played so much cleverness would not ruffled Wang Fei's fur. Here was Wang Residence, possessing a status was more important than anything.

“Please go back, Wang Ye said no one could see Wang Fei. Your intentions will be conveyed to Wang Fei. You can go back first.” Chunyu was a little angry, but Qinxin coming to see young master, even if intentional, she could only be patient, first advised people to go back.

“Miss Chunyu, take good care of Wang Fei.”    “Thank you An Cefei Niangniang, nubi knows.” After sending people away, Chunyu did not go to her young master, but ran to find Dongxue. Chunyu did not know what was going on with Dongxue, since she returned from Yang Momo's yesterday, she had been silent, did not know what she was thinking.

“In the past, it's not like Wang Ye has not be unhappy with young master, but he always came back to rest in the evening. Yesterday, Wang Ye punished young master and did not come back in the evening. Wang Ye would not have been like this before.” Before the Cefei entered the residence, Dongxue was worried that there would be such a day. After the Cefei entered the residence, Wang Ye did not like them–Dongxue was very difficult to feel rest assured. She wanted to let young master and Wang Ye spend more time cultivating a little feeling, so that in the future, even if there was a woman in Wang Ye's mind, perhaps it would be a little better for young master, but now…  her own ideas were still too naive.

How could Chunyu be ignorant to Dongxue's words? She just did not want to think about it, and young master was not afraid of anything.

“Dongxue, Wang Ye didn't come back last night, but he didn't go to that Nanxi's place. Zhu Quan told me, Wang Ye stayed in the study last night.” Xu Chang An had a fever last night and coughed badly in the middle of the night. They were making porridge for their young master, who liked to drink it when he was ill.

“Fortunately, you can find out some news of Wang Ye from Zhu Quan over there. I'll give young master porridge for a while, and mention it with young master, so that he can rest assured."

“Well, I know.”

“Right! Chunyu, I want to ask you one thing. Is Zhu Quan having thoughts for you?” When they were together, mostly in private, Dongxue would often hear the name of Zhu Quan in Chunyu's lips. She knew that Zhu Quan was the only son of Zhu Guanjia. She and Chunyu were orphans, if Chunyu could marry Zhu Quan, the marriage would be good for Chunyu and her young master.

Although Xu Chang An had said earlier that he would pay attention for the household of their husband-to-be, but Chunyu was still an unmarried girl, following a male master who would not talk about such a thing normally, so when Dongxue mentioned it, she inevitably blushed.

Dongxue saw Chunyu did not deny it, she was very happy. Wang Ye was quite dependent on Zhu Guanjia. Zhu Quan was also the only son of Zhu Guanjia. If Zhu Quan really had a thought about Chunyu, then married Chunyu, it could help young master a lot.

“Hey! I'm talking to you ah, big girl. How come you don't blush and gasp when it comes to this kind of topic, in the end aren't you an unmarried girl?" Chunyu herself was embarrassed, but Dongxue, who took the initiative to ask about it seemed to be all right, did not know what she was thinking.

“Go, young master should be hungry.” Dongxue took a glimpse at the kitchen where everything was ready, she felt it a little lucky that fortunately Wang Fei had his own kitchenette. Whatever young master wanted to eat, they could make it for him by hand. It would be even more difficult for young master if he wanted anything had to go through Wang Residence's people.

Every year during winter, Xu Chang An was easy to catch cold, and the illness dragged on every time. He had a rough night last night, Xu Chang An guessed that he had not been ill for quite a time, and yesterday, he suddenly became ill again. It should be because he had sweated all over and not changed his clothes in time. Besides, Xiao Qing Yan's punishment for no reason made him feel bad. So the illness came. When Chunyu and they came over, Xu Chang An was getting up to go to the little study he had cleaned up a few days ago. Xiao Qing Yan did not allow anyone to come to see him, but he could not let the illness drag on all the time. He knew his own body; this illness certainly would not drag on at once. He had to drink medicine as soon as possible so that he could get better as soon as possible.

“Where are you going, young master?”

“Go to the wing room, and you will bring things along.”

“Yes, young master.” And all followed the young master toward the wing room. All the bricks, tiles, trees and grass of this Wang Residence were exquisite. Wang Fei's courtyard renovation was even more unique. But now that young master was like this, Chunyu felt that this Wang Residence was not as good as their dilapidated Zhuangzi. At least when the young master was wronged, they could speak abuse, here when one was wronged, they did not dare to say anything.

“Dongxue, I'll write a prescription to give you. You go to the drugstore and get me two set of medicine. By the way, the last time the imperial physician came and wrote a prescription, you bring the prescription along. How easily I catch cold and ultimately my health is still not good, I had better need to recuperate properly."

“Young master… nubi understands.” Looking at her young master not as sad as she had imagined, Dongxyue also did not know what the feeling in her heart was. Now in this case, young master should be sad, ah, but she did not want young master to be sad. However, young master really did not appear sad at all, she felt somewhat strange.

“Young master…”

“What's wrong?” Having written the prescription, Xu Chang An put away the writhing brush and was about to drink porridge, but Dongxue looked hesitant; he did not know what she wanted to say.

“Young master, the prescription by the imperial physician is not with nubi, want nubi to go to Wang Ye's place to get it?” But could Wang Ye give it?

“Seeing your embarrassment, I thought it was such a big matter. I've seen that prescription. I'll write another one for you." Dongxue was alright, contrary to Xu Chang An relaxed appearance, that difficult look of Dongxue just know, he thought Xiao Qing Yan was not only confined his feet, but also to his whole courtyard people were not allowed to go out.

“Ah, I have forgotten, young master, you are the cleverest, you will never forget anything you read!”

“How can you say that? By the way, when you go out in a few, go ask the Wu brothers to accompany you. You, a girl alone will buy so many medicines, I'm not at ease." After handing over the prescription to Dongxue, Xu Chang An did not return to his room. In this small study, he began to drink the porridge they prepared.

“Fortunately, there is this small world to kill time.” After drinking porridge, Xu Chang An let Chunyu to clean up, he himself stayed to read.

When one was fascinated by a book, time always passed quickly. Unconsciously, Xu Chang An stayed in the small study he had arranged, for more than two hours.

“Cough, cough…” Xu Chang An did not know how this cough could be cured, a little bit of chill wind, and right away he would cough nonstop, it's worse than fever. Originally he was holding Long History book, but thinking of his own cough, Xu Chang An began to search for medical books. “Sigh, I'll have to go to Momo's place some other day.” Xu Chang An loved reading since childhood, and regardless of the genre, since childhood, his collection of books were mostly stored in Yang Momo's place, now he just wanted to read it but could not read.

“If I knew it earlier,  I should have brought it all.”

“What are you talking to yourself?”

“Wang Ye? Paying respect to Wang Ye." Why did Xiao Qing Yan come here? Isn't he supposed to accompany Nanxi, who was having discomfort?

“Why are you so surprised about this, can't Wang come here?”

“No, just thought… Wang Ye, can you lend me some medical books?” Right! Thinking of Xiao Qing Yan's weaponry and storeroom, Xu Chang An thought that there must be a lot of books in Wang Residence's library, and the Imperial House collection, of course, was never seen before!

Xiao Qing Yan did not understand how this person could jump words so fast, all of a sudden talk about medical books, but what would he want to do with it?

“Jing Wang has already set off.” Previously, he had handled a homeostatic medicine, could it be, once again he thought of what things that the battlefield needed?

“Eh. May I? Wang Ye?”

“Alright, Wang will send someone to you later.” Did he mistaken? Xu Chang An's voice… Knowing that it was not because of Jing Wang, Xiao Qing Yan heard Xu Chang An's voice as if something was wrong. Did he get wind chill again?

“Thank you… Wang Ye.” Looking at Xiao Qing Yan's face, Xu Chang An dared not say anything more. After thanking Xiao Qing Yan, Xiao Qing Yan turned and left.

Thinking of the imperial physician's words, Xiao Qing Yan was a little irritable. Everything could not satisfy both sides. If Xu Chang An could not withstand a little psychological pressure, whether he talked to Xu Chang An or not, it's all pressure on him (XCA).

“Subordinate pays respect to Wang Ye.”

“Is there any movement over there?”

“Reporting to Wang Ye, it is indeed His Second Highness.” Xiao Qing Yan's study did not permit the people of Wang Residence to enter privately. When he was in the study, someone would guard outside. At this time, half kneeling in front of his table was not the residence's servant or imperial bodyguard dressed up, only wearing a gray suit, covered by a silver gray mask, the expression on the face could not be seen.

“Alright, continue watching.”

“Yes, Wang Ye.”

Xiao Qing Yan had never thought of the him today, but it was worth Xiao Qing Nian painstaking effort. But since Xiao Qing Nian worried about him so much, and he also could not suffer for nothing, he had to pay Xiao Qing Nian a good return, it was a courtesy to exchange ah.

“Someone!”

“Wang Ye, what do you command?” Zhu Quan was Xiao Qing Yan's close aide. As long as Xiao Qing Yan was in the imperial palace, he was basically accompanied by his servants. But if Xiao Qing Yan was working in the study, he could only stay outside.

“Pass down my command, from now on, Miss Nanxi's courtyard should be provided according to the standards of Wang Fei's courtyard.”

“Wang Ye, this is not conform to… Yes, Wang Ye." He would like to say to Wang Ye that this was not conform to the established rules, but when he looked at Wang Ye's face, Zhu Quan shut his lips. In this Wang Residence, Wang Ye was the rule, whatever Wang Ye said, there was no room for them -the servants- to talk back.

Xiao Qing Yan's decision almost made the whole Wang Residence's old and young turned silly. Nanxi was now only a guest of Wang Residence; she did not even have the concubine status, but give her the treatment of Wang Fei? What's wrong with Wang Ye? Is it possible that Wang Ye was bewitched?! Dongxue came back bringing medicine, after listening about it from Chunyu, she was angered and didn't even eat dinner. But after knowing this, the only consolation in Dongxue's heart was that Zhu Quan was really good for Chunyu.

“Now, don't mention our young master is rejected by Wang Ye, that Nanxi gain grace like that, but he still thinks about young master, and comes to tell you this. He'll surely to take care of you. Chunyu, tell this matter to young master, let young master decide for you." If Chunyu married and with this relationship, young master's life could be a little better because Zhu Guanjia was also their own people, and Zhu Guanjia was in charge of the whole residence,

Dongxue's plan, Chunyu understood, but her heart also had its own worries.

“His father still didn't know that. He didn't have the final say. Even if it is young master, if it can still be done a few days ago, can Zhu Guanjia be able to listen to young master?" When the master was in trouble, his face could not be compared with a bondservant in power, let alone Zhu Guanjia's treatment in Wang Residence was not like a bondservant.

“Why not? His father… ”

“Chunyu jiejie, Dongxue jiejie, Wang Ye comes!”

“What? Go, hurry up!” The small yatou's words made two people's heart joyful! The young master was confined now, it's good that Wang Ye was willing to come! Just say ah, young master and Wang Ye had been good, how could Wang Ye suddenly be so heartless!

“Today is fifteen.” It was not only strange to the servants in this courtyard, but the same applied to Xu Chang An. But Xiao Qing Yan's explanation made the rush joy of Chunyu and Dongxue lifted at once.

How could they forget that the Imperial House's rule, whether they were emperor or princes, they had to stay the night in the formal wife's room in the first and fifteenth.

Xu Chang An forgot that it was the 15th day. He didn't expect Xiao Qing Yan to come, so he took a bath early to get ready for bed. When Xiao Qing Yan came over, he had just changed his clothes and was ready to go to bed.

“Chunyu, you all can retreat.”

“Hold on, let them serve.” The clothes on the master's body were old clothes, but these two servants had changed into new clothes! If he wanted to bathe, the two yatous actually were going to have a rest, where did this rule come from?!

Since Xiao Qing Yan's words to let Chunyu and Dongxue stay, Xu Chang An's small heart at already rose to his throat. Now seeing Xiao Qing Yan's eyes even fell on the two girls, he was frightened and knelt directly toward Xiao Qing Yan.

He could not harm Chunyu and Dongxue! Xiao Qing Yan liked that Nanxi so much, that woman did not seem to be able to tolerate people, if Chunyu and Dongxue became Xiao Qing Yan's women, their life would not be easy!

“Wang Ye! Wang Ye, Chunyu and Dongxue are my servants, servants that are not intended to be keeping around. I have been looking for suitable husbands for them!” Man's three wives and four concubines should be reasonable in Xu Chang An's opinion. Even if there was a woman in mind, it was impossible to end in one. Xiao Qing Yan's status here, even if he liked Nanxi, he could not only have Nanxi as his woman, he must stay here at his (XCA) place for two nights every month. The girls at his (XCA) side were also considered Xiao Qing Yan's women, if he really wants Chunyu and them… The more Xu Chang An thought the more frightened he was, his face was full of fear! Chunyu, as if thinking of something, knelt down at the side of her young master, her face also showed fear.

The reaction of the master and servant made Xiao Qing Yan wonder whether he should laugh or not! He suddenly realized, in the eyes of Xu Chang An, he was an unrestrained person who could not let go even the yatou beside him.

“Humph! Doesn't Wang Fei know that your yatou is also Wang's bed warmer? It's the rules. Did Wang Fei forget?” Cold eyes looked at this person who never cared about his own status, Xiao Qing Yan felt that the unknown fire in his heart was really going to burn bigger and bigger!

“Wang Ye, Wang Ye… Wang Ye!” This was indeed the rules. Xu Chang An was so scared that he had no idea what he wanted to say!

“Wang Fei, even if you are their master, you are not in a position to help them in this matter. Aren't you going to ask them what they mean?” Xiao Qing Yan only knew that his Wang Fei was good to his two yatouss, and had no rules, but he did not know how the two yatous were to their master.

“Nubi do not dare! Wang Ye's status is honorable, nubi is only a farm grass foot mud, dare not serve at Wang Ye's side, and polluted Wang Ye's honorable body!" Chunyu had scared tears, but she dared not let Wang Ye see, could only keep her head buried in kowtow to Xiao Qing Yan.

“Nubi… Thank for Wang Ye's favor."

“Dongxue?” Dongxue's words made Chunyu forgot to cover up the expression on her face. She looked up in shock and looked at Dongxue, who was facing young master.

She and young master were kneeling to Wang Ye, but Dongxue was kneeling toward young master.

“Wang Fei, everyone has a purpose, nubi is willing to serve Wang Ye, Wang Fei.” Dongxue's face was still as usual, there was no excess expression, but a little more stubborn and resolute.
