Chapter 125: Jealousy
Qi Yuanzheng left quickly with his wife and daughter, leaving Hua Lianyue alone pinching the golden lock plate that was forcibly stuffed in her hand and was stunned, what is the situation?
In her memory, in the Wuyi Alley next to the Vermilion Bird Bridge, there are all rich and noble families, but there is only one family with the surname Qi. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info Qi Yuanzheng only said a Qi mansion, could it be the Qi family of a general of the third grade Yunlu?
Although it is now a peaceful and prosperous era, military generals are not as decent as civil officials in front of the emperor. But he is the descendant of a dignified third-grade general, and he doesn't need to bow down to a seven-rank county order with self-contempt!
Sure enough, if you can casually take out the ink fox and give it away, your family background will definitely not be simple. I'm afraid that this county magistrate is actually a descendant of a big family who was released by the elders of the family to practice.
No wonder his side is so quiet, probably a child of a family like him can't make his own decisions about marriage!
Hua Lianyue was still thinking secretly, and Mrs. Qi, who had already walked far away, finally couldn't help but ask: "Master, if you want to be grateful to that flower catcher, just give some more money." The golden lock plate was put on by her ancestor himself when the moon was full. Now it's just given to an outsider, I'm afraid that the ancestor will not be able to explain it. ”
"Women, what do you know? A mere golden lock plate may be able to change the fate of our Qingjia and even our Qi Mansion in the future. Qi Yuan looked smug on his face, and seemed to be very satisfied with his impromptu move.
"What are you thinking about standing here?"
Hua Lianyue looked back when she heard the voice, but saw Huo Lianjue with a leisurely expression, her eyebrows stretched, and a comfortable look standing behind her. He also wore a blue satin soft silver moire cloak in the crook of his arm.
She raised the golden lock plate in her hand and said with a smile: "That Lord Qi is very polite, and insists on giving me this gold lock plate." said that he went to the capital later. You can use this to go to Wuyi Lane next to the Suzaku Bridge to find him, and the couple will naturally be grateful to me. ”
"It's really polite!" Huo Lianjue's eyes only stayed on the gold lock plate for a moment, and then quickly moved away. He shook off the blue satin cloak in the crook of his arm, put it on her shoulder, and said with a light smile: "Then you put away this gold lock piece, and the next time you enter Beijing, you will go to find him to return this kindness." ”
"That's not necessary, it was a temporary idea to save the little girl, and I didn't want to plot anything. Hua Lianyue threw away the gold lock plate in her hand and said with a smile: "Since he refuses to take it back, I will use this gold lock plate tomorrow as a silver coin." ”
The corners of Huo Lianjue's mouth twitched, he looked down at her in front of him, and said extremely seriously: "Have you been short of money lately?"
The moonlight was hazy, the stars were dotted, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the lanterns hanging high on the yamen gilded his handsome eyebrows with a warm luster. He hung his head slightly and looked at her, and in his dark eyes faintly flowing with rippling light waves, the pity and tenderness revealed were really heartwarming.
Hua Liyue was in a trance for a while, and she stretched out her cold fingers to trace his delicate and picturesque eyebrows. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but a trace of sadness rose in his heart.
Such a person, such a love, but let such a dying person have it, is it God's compensation for her?
Or was it God's punishment for him?
Maybe her expression was too focused, maybe her eyes were too affectionate, maybe her smile was too sad. His heart was like being knocked hard by an invisible thing, he frowned slightly, and said puzzledly: "Yue'er, ...... are you?"
Hua Lianyue smoothed the light lines on his brow with her fingertips, and said with a smile: "Don't frown all the time, it's obviously a good year, but you always look so serious and serious." ”
Huo Lianjue was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, and a gloomy storm set off in his warm black eyes. He jerked his hand around her waist.
She was softly clinging to his arms, his forehead was against her, his warm lips were against the corners of her mouth, and he murmured, "It turns out that Yue'er thinks your brother Lian is too serious." Without saying anything, he imprinted his thin lips.
Before Hua Lianyue could speak, she was gagged by him. There seemed to be a layer of mist in front of her, which made her dizzy for a while, and she sighed softly and closed her eyes.
Fortunately, Huo Lianjue scruples that this is at the gate of the county government, and for the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, he just tastes it. He took her shoulders and went back to the study.
Shortly after they left, Adele and Zhong Lingxiu walked out from behind the gate. Adele also held a small tea tray in the shape of a black lacquered begonia in her hand, which contained a small stew pot with a white background and a crane auspicious cloud pattern. She looked around a few times, and said suspiciously, "Didn't you say it was at the door?" ”
Zhong Lingxiu raised her eyes to look at the lantern that was swaying slightly in the night breeze, and said quietly: "It's about us coming too late, they've already gone back to the study!" She retracted her eyes, turned around lightly and said, "Let's go, let's go to the study to have a look." ”
In the study, Huo Lianjue was reading the official documents under the candlelight again, while Hua Lianyue leaned on the soft collapse, holding the script and reading it quietly. Dashuang was tidying up the house, while Xiaoshuang brought the pastries he bought at the market today, and made two cups of tea and put them in her and Huo Lianjue's hands.
There are only a few tea leaves in the tea cup, and the tea soup is very light and light green. Huo Lianjue was just thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip, the entrance was fragrant and sweet, but extremely elegant.
He was stunned for a moment, and lowered his eyes, but saw a touch of pale blue floating in the teacup, and a few wisps of light smoke emitting warmth. Although the tea is light, it is not as rich as he usually drinks.
Hua Lianyue didn't raise her head, turned a page of the book in her hand, and said lightly: "Don't look at it, I asked them to make the tea lighter." Drinking strong tea at night can hurt your body. ”
Huo Lianjue glanced at her with a smile, he put down the teacup, picked up the pen again and dipped it in ink, and read it on the official document.
Big Shuang, Little Double packed up their things, pushed the door and walked out. They knew that when Huo Lianjue was reviewing official documents, he didn't like to be disturbed. Even Hua Lianyue was just reading a book on the side, quietly accompanying each other.
The two of them went out of the room, but they saw a woman in plain clothes in the courtyard, and she was followed by a young maid in Tsing Yi with a tea tray. Under the hazy moonlight, the woman's face was beautiful, her skin was like congealed fat, her body was graceful, and her plain clothes were fluttering, with a kind of floating fairy taste.
Dashuang stepped forward and beckoned, "Miss Zhong, come here at this time, but do you have something to do with Lord Huo?"
Zhong Lingxiu smiled lightly and said, "My lord is busy with official business, so I really shouldn't disturb it, I'm looking for your young lady." ”
"Looking for our young lady?" there was a hint of surprise in his big eyes. In fact, up and down the yamen, there are a lot of speculations about this Miss Zhong who came to live rashly.
Zhong Lingxiu used to follow Dean Zhong to the yamen to find Huo Lianjue, so everyone in the yamen knew her. It's just that she has always been gentle and demure. There are some rough men in the yamen, for fear that they will blaspheme her, so they only dare to look at her from a distance.
The vast majority of people think that she came to live this time, obviously to get rid of Xiao Shizi's entanglement, but secretly she was looking forward to achieving a relationship with Huo Lianjue. After all, this man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and her appearance and conduct are extremely right. If it had been in the past, they would have been happy to see it.
However, Huo Lianjue was polite to this Miss Zhong from beginning to end, and did not have any affectionate behavior. What's more, now that he has Hua Lianyue by his side, it seems that he is destined to miss this Miss Zhong. So now the whole yamen has a little more pity for Zhong Lingxiu, who is alone.
It's just that since these gossips reached the ears of Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang, they became a little more vigilant when they faced Zhong Lingxiu. Anyway, this person in front of him is a potential rival of his own young lady.
Dashuang hesitated for a moment and said, "Then please Miss Zhong wait for a while, and I'll go and ask my young lady to come out." ”
"No need. Zhong Lingxiu smiled, she pointed to the tea tray in Ade's hand, and said to Dashuang: "There is a cup of stewed bird's nest with rock sugar lotus seeds here, which is the most nourishing thing that I stewed with my own hands." I deliberately boiled up more today, and sent it to your young lady, so please trouble the girl to bring it in!"
Dashuang was a little inexplicable, but she still thanked her and took the tea tray in Ade's hand without hitting the smiling person.
Zhong Lingxiu smiled at the corner of her lips, bowed slightly at her, and turned around and left like this.
Xiaoshuang, who had been silent on the side, walked over, lifted the lid of the stew pot and took a look inside. I saw that the lotus seeds in the stew pot were white and fat, the bird's nest was thick, and there was a sweet smell, which was really the best stewed bird's nest with rock sugar lotus seeds.
She "clicked", covered the lid back, and said puzzledly: "It's only the first day I came, and I sent bird's nest to our young lady." What does this Miss Zhong mean?"
Dashuang shook his head in confusion and said, "You wait for me for a while, since there is no problem with this bird's nest, I will send it to Miss." ”
......
The bird's nest that exuded a sweet smell was placed in front of Hua Lianyue, but Hua Lianyue held her cheeks with her hand and glanced at Huo Lianjue with slanted eyes that seemed to be smiling.
Huo Lianjue was calm and relaxed, and his pen was like a god, as if he didn't know anything.
How do you wake up a person who is pretending to be stupid?
Hua Lianyue retracted her eyes, played with the gold lock plate in her hand, and said lazily: "This Miss Zhong is not only beautiful, but also has a gentle temperament, I didn't expect even her cooking skills to be so good." No wonder even Xiao Shizi can't get into her eyes. I don't know which blessed talent will win her favor in the future. ”
Huo Lianjue didn't raise his head, his pen didn't stop, he just said lightly: "Is this question ......?"
Hua Lianyue picked up the teacup and pretended to sip it, but her ears were erected high. I heard him say lightly: "It's not for you and me to worry about, it should be her father who should be the one who should be concerned." ”
Cough, cough, cough!
A good move, Hua Lianyue coughed lightly, bit her lip, and put down the teacup in her hand in annoyance.
It's a pity that she only looked down in thought, but she didn't see the smile hidden in the corner of his mouth.
She changed her hand to hold her cheeks, her eyes purring. After a long time, he said: "You say, Miss Zhong is not too young, why doesn't Dean Zhong give her a marriage? Could it be that there is no one in Meiling County who can enter the eyes of their father and daughter?"
Huo Lianjue paused the pen in his hand, he raised his head to look at Hua Lianyue, and asked with some curiosity between his eyebrows: "Speaking of which, Yue'er, you seem to be about the same age as her, it seems that you are still a few months older, and you have reached the age of marriage." I wonder what your father wants from his future son-in-law? Can I get into the eyes of his old man?"
Hua Lianyue was dumbfounded, she didn't expect this person to be so cunning, and she easily turned the conversation to herself. But he still looked at himself expectantly, as if he was really waiting for his answer.
Hua Renyue has a ridiculous feeling of digging up and jumping by herself!
It's just that he has been looking at her with blazing eyes all the time, and it doesn't seem to work if he doesn't pay attention to it. Hua Lianyue weighed it in her heart, and said stubbornly: "For my future husband, my father and his old man have never made any requests, just say that it is good to follow fate." ”
Huo Lianjue's eyes lit up, and he suddenly chuckled lightly, and said: "It seems that I, the future Taishan, am a very free and easy person." It's no wonder that the daughter raised is also smart and different. ”
Hua Lianyue echoed and laughed a few times, which was regarded as laughing at his praise.
The silence in the study room was restored, and the last trace of heat had dissipated from the last trace of heat in the cup of stewed bird's nest with rock sugar lotus seeds on the table. Hua Lianyue leaned on the soft collapse, the pages in her hand turned faster and faster, but she didn't read a few words.
The bird's nest was like an ant in her eyes, biting into her heart all the time. It's ticklish and hard to ignore.
The sound of flipping through the book was too frequent, and finally Huo Lianjue couldn't calmly review the official documents. He put down his pen, stretched his arms, and stood up and paced to the side of the limp collapse.
The blue-skinned book in Hua Lianyue's hand is already being ravaged by her. He smiled and reached out to free the book from her hand. didn't forget to joke and said: "You can't read a word left and right, so just don't look at it, let's talk about it!"
Hua Lianyue was stunned, and then said in surprise: "Have you finished reviewing your official documents?"
Huo Lianjue stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Although I haven't finished the approval, it's no problem to be lazy occasionally, so don't go in yet." ”
Hua Lianyue blushed and moved into the soft collapse, giving up a place for one person. He leaned down unceremoniously, and fished her soft body into his arms.
Although Hua Lianyue honestly lay in his arms, playing with a piece of mutton fat Pisces jade pendant hanging from his waist, she bit her lip and didn't speak for a long time.
Huo Lianjue stroked the hair that fell on her shoulder, and said leisurely: "I talked so much just now, why don't you say a word now." ”
Hua Lianyue snorted and said, "Fang is the only one, now is the present, and now I don't want to speak." Her tone was visibly depressed, as if her air pressure had dropped several points.
Feeling his hand caressing her hair, she paused, but she stubbornly refused to look up. I heard him let out a long sigh and said, "Yue'er, the freshly brewed plum vinegar is appetizing, if you drink it after it is old, it will hurt your stomach." ”
Hua Lianyue looked up in amazement and said, "I didn't drink vinegar today!"
Facing his sparkling and sadistic eyes, she froze for a moment, and immediately understood that she was being teased by him again. Embarrassed and annoyed, she threw his hand away and got up to leave.
"Yue'er. He reached out and grabbed her wrist, and said in an aggrieved tone, "It doesn't make sense for you to eat so jealously." Obviously, you also agreed to her live in temporarily, and said that the little prince was a toad and wanted to eat swan meat. It's only the first night, and she just brought you a cup of bird's nest, and you just think about it. In the days to come, you will always be tormented by cranky thoughts. ”
After a pause, he said slowly: "An irrelevant person is not worth your attention at all. ”
