......
Not long after Kong Fujie's figure disappeared at the door of the living room, a soft figure walked in.
Long hair shawl, eyebrows like a crescent moon.
"Kong Gongzi is gone?"
Her eyebrows were lowered as she tucked away her teacup.
Cao Xiuge took her hand, and the eyes of this incomparably honorable Tianzi Dashao who looked at this woman showed a faint tenderness: "It's good to leave these things to the next person, why do you need to do it yourself?"
"Am I not just a subordinate?"
The woman pursed her lips and smiled, gently withdrawing her calloused hand from the man's hand, and skillfully put away the tea set.
It can be seen that she is obviously not one of those pampered ladies and ladies in the high-gate mansion in the capital.
Cao Xiuge didn't insist anymore, watching her clean up the tea set, her expression was warm.
She picked up the saucer, "Would you like to heat another pot for you?"
"No need. β
didn't want the woman to trouble any more, Cao Xiuge simply put his teacup on the saucer, "Okay, let's take it." β
The woman walks in a row, doing the work of a subordinate, but gives people a kind of temperament of everyone, and she quickly goes and returns.
Cao Xiuge smiled at her and beckoned.
The woman smiled lightly, walked over to Cao Xiuge and sat on his lap, resting her head on his chest.
Sniffing the familiar and elegant fragrance that has penetrated into the bone marrow from the tip of his nose, Cao Xiuge's heart has never been peaceful, holding the warm fragrance and warm jade, but there is not the slightest evil desire.
"Sometimes I really want to learn from the ancient scholars, find a mountain forest, and then build a wooden house, and weave with you, and never ask about the world, and that life will definitely be very happy......"
The woman let the man play with her hair, closed her eyes and whispered, "I do." β
"I know you do. β
Cao Xiuge muttered, "But I still have too many things to do. β
"The rat is willing to wait. β
Cao Xiuge stroked his long soft hair and said softly, "What if I can't wait?"
The woman, who called herself Zi Mouse, curled up in the man's arms and drew closer to the man's embrace.
"Then continue to wait for the next life, okay?"
Cao Xiuge's eyes trembled slightly, and then he shook his head with a smile. "It's not good, if there is really a next life, then it will be time for me to wait for you. β
The rat didn't speak again.
She waited for him, or he waited for her, in her opinion, it was all the same.
After being silent for a while, Cao Xiuge gently patted the soft back of the mouse, "Okay, you go to rest first, I'll go see Jinse." β
Zi Rat obediently stood up from the man's arms and pulled his hair, "Mao Rabbit is probably there in Jinse now, I'll go with you." β
Cao Xiuge smiled and nodded, "It's okay." β
In a courtyard in the northeast corner of Cao's house, there are two peach trees on the left and on the right, and when it comes to spring, the garden is full of spring, and the end is a beautiful scene, but now it is already early autumn, and the extreme landscape of peach blossoms on the human face can no longer be seen.
Under the bright moonlight, the two girls were blocking the swing under the tree, because the swing was very small, and only the next person sat down, so they took turns swinging one and the other standing behind the push.
"Little rabbit, can you use some strength, haven't you eaten enough at night?"
When he arrived outside the courtyard, Cao Xiuge heard a crisp voice like a silver bell leaking out of the courtyard with the moonlight.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zi Mouse, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
"Miss, didn't you say five minutes, it's almost nine minutes. β
Soon, a voice of grievance sounded closely.
"Oh, I'll let you play for ten minutes later, won't I?"
At this time, Cao Xiuge had already walked into the courtyard and coughed lightly, "Jinse, are you bullying Mao Rabbit again?"
The girl on the swing turned her head, spit out her pink tongue, and stopped the swing with her feet on the ground: "Brother, why are you here?"
The girl named Mao Rabbit was petite, and she called out softly to Cao Xiuge and Zi Mouse: "Young master, eldest sister." β
Zi Rat nodded with a smile and looked at the girl on the swing: "Jin Se, Mao Rabbit has little strength, do you want me to help you push?"
The girl hurriedly jumped off the swing and muttered, "I don't want to be scolded to death by my eldest brother." β
Under the quiet moonlight, the girl's crystal clear snow skin shimmered with an ivory-like halo, perhaps because of the swing, the delicate fragrance was faintly flushed, the black and long eyelashes tightly covered the pair of sheared autumn pupils, and the white and delicate straight jade neck under a pair of weak and round slender shoulders......
What a girl like an elf.
"You think I won't scold you if you bully Mao Rabbit?"
Cao Xiuge deliberately said with a cold face: "Come in with me." β
"Oh. β
The girl seemed to be obediently responding, but after Cao Xiuge turned around, she stuck out her tongue at Cao Xiuge's back.
Zi Rat smiled and shook his head, watched a pair of brothers and sisters enter the house, and then looked at Mao Tu's innocent and pink face, "Big sister is here to push you?"
......
After entering the house, Cao Xiuge turned around and looked at the girl with her head drooping, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
"You're older than Mao Tu, why do you always like to bully her?
"I don't have any. β
The girl muttered, "I'm justβI'm just forgetting the time." β
"I think you can only bully and bully Mao Rabbit. β
Cao Xiuge couldn't bear to really blame this girl, and shook his head with a smile.
"Brother, why did you remember to come to see me today?"
Seeing a smile in Cao Xiuge's tone, the girl immediately raised her head, and her eyes were bent into crescents.
"When the eldest brother comes to see his sister, do you need a reason?"
"That's not what I meant......"
The girl took Cao Xiuge's hand and coquettishly as if she was flattering.
"You...... I really don't know when I'm going to grow up. Cao Xiuge shook his head.
"No matter how big I grow, you are also my brother, and you have to love me and protect me. β
The girl is rightly arrogant.
Cao Xiuge couldn't cry or laugh, "Okay, I have something serious to tell you." β
Cao Xiuge broke free of the girl's hand, and the girl showed a look that I had expected.
Cao Xiuge turned a blind eye and said slowly: "Your sister Song is injured, and it is inconvenient for me to be a man, so I want you to visit on behalf of our Cao family......"
"Sister Song is injured?!"
The girl looked surprised. "What's going on?
"It shouldn't be very serious, but our Cao family at least has to show an attitude. You have a good relationship with Song Luoshen, and it is most appropriate for you to visit. β
The innocent color on the girl's face gradually subsided. Even if Cao Xiuge didn't say it, but Song Luoshen's injury, no matter whether the injury was serious or not, it was an earth-shattering event.
"Brother, you let me go, it's not just as simple as visiting, right?"
Cao Xiuge's face was calm and silent.
"Brother, ten years have passed, grandpa has already let go, why do you ......?"
"Do you really think grandpa put it down?"
Cao Xiuge's eyes slowly became darker, "His old man just doesn't want us to carry a heavy burden, although grandpa never mentioned it, but as children and grandchildren, we can't just take it as if nothing happened!"
As he spoke, a deep color that outsiders had never seen appeared on Cao Xiuge's face, and a surge of resentment roared in an instant!
The girl looked at him in a daze: "Brother......"
"Do you know what grandpa only said after his failure?"
Cao Xiuge's eyes were almost empty, and his fingers suddenly clenched, "A hero can be a general, but a hero is not a king." β
"What a hero is not a king!"
Cao Xiuge laughed silently, then turned around and walked outside, leaving only a passage of words that kept echoing in the girl's ears.
"Jin Se, the eldest brother has nothing else to ask for in this life, there is only one goal, which is to get back the things that his old man took away from him bit by bit!"
Looking at Cao Xiuge's back, the eldest lady of the Cao family, Cao Jinse's eyes trembled.
"Brother, I'll help you. β
