A branch of red apricot came out of the wall
The days passed, and the weather after the Mid-Autumn Festival soon cooled down, and winter soon came.
So in the snowy days, Mr. Liu gradually went to the students' homes more and more, and sometimes in the afternoon, he had to grind until the evening before carrying his schoolbag and walking through the snow to leave.
Although Liu Xiucai's argument is that the stone field is too noisy, which is not conducive to students' learning.
However, in view of the fact that he always arrived just before lunch and left after dinner, and occasionally carried away two pieces of bacon or a few jars of wine, everyone in the courtyard silently thought that pedantic scholars were not so uncannibalistic.
"What, it's obviously a poor show who came to fight the autumn wind!" A girl counted the bacon hanging under the eaves and couldn't help muttering a few words.
But the nine hairpins who were drying persimmon cakes on the side shook their heads a little unhappily: "Okay, Mana, Mr. Liu never accepts Nian'er's bundle of cultivation, life is difficult, and he is unwilling to become a teacher in a large family, let's take care of it more, we Miao people have always been generous to friends, aren't we?" β
She is very satisfied with Liu Sanchang's teaching these days, and Nian'er's progress can be said to be a rapid progress.
Mana thought about it, and then forked down another piece of bacon with a fork: "Yes, it's pitiful to see his thin appearance, just Mr. Liu will come to give it to him tonight." β
Jiu Hairpin also picked up a bag of persimmon cakes and bacon wrapped in oiled paper, and at the same time instructed Mana: "Mr. didn't come to eat at noon today, and he will eat more in the evening, so you tell the kitchen to prepare two more of our hometown dishes - bamboo rice and wild boar fried garlic sprouts." β
"Okay." Manna nodded.
A cool breeze blew, and Jiu Hairpin couldn't help but shiver: "Ha Qiu." β
Manna immediately pulled her into the room, and complained in a low voice: "When can we go back to Miaojiang, the Han people are too cold here, and I don't like snow at all." β
Jiu Hairpin seemed to think of something: "By the way, prepare a set of bedding for Mr. Liu, I heard Nian'er say that there is a charcoal basin for roasting fire in his room, and the quilts are very thin." β
When Manna heard this, she also said: "Also, what kind of poor Xiucai has become, I see him wearing it around, and there are only two or three sets of ragged coats, which are very thin, and on such a cold day, I don't see him getting cold and pneumonia." β
Jiu Hairpin frowned slightly, and glanced at Manna unashamedly: "Take care of your mouth, say something nice, don't curse people." β
Manna was reprimanded, but she was not unhappy, but showed a strange smile and approached the nine hairpins: "I said princess, have you taken a fancy to the poor sour show, I haven't seen you worry so much about anyone on weekdays, every day when the poor sour show comes, you can stay in the same room with him for a long time." β
Jiu Hairpin froze instantly, blushed and glanced at Mana fiercely: "What nonsense, it's too cold outside the house, I do needlework in the house, not to mention that Nian'er is studying with Mr. β
Manna smiled even more weirdly: "That's right, every time I go in to deliver water, I see that the three of you are like a family, we Miao people don't have the habit of Han people from the beginning, princess, you have been alone for so many years, it's ......not bad to find a father for Nian'er." β
"Alright, don't say any more!" Jiu Hairpin interrupted her words with a cold face: "A scholar like Mr. Liu is also pedantic, and he doesn't like this kind of rumors about melons and plums the most, don't let people laugh at us Miao people frivolous." β
With that, she hurried into the house.
Manna was thrown with a cold face, touched her nose and couldn't help muttering: "Didn't the princess herself find out that she was panicking, if it was really nothing, what was she panicking?" β
"If the princess has a good home, we can return to the saint with confidence." Mammoth's low, gruff voice rang out behind her.
Manna glanced at the mammoth who came in with a big knife, and sighed lightly: "I see what the saint means, if the princess doesn't have a man she likes, after returning to Miaojiang, the saint will arrange a blind date for the princess, and you also know that some people in Seventy-two Mountains have become more and more arrogant recently, isn't it just that the princess is weak alone, the holy daughter of Jiucui has no children in this life, if the princess only has a little prince ...... Nian'er." β
"Just a little prince, if there is any accident, I'm afraid that some people in Seventy-two Mountains will get into trouble." Mammoth picked up the conversation, frowning.
They Miao people are not as particular as the Han people, and they must be the right person, but Tusi Mansion only has two people, the saint and the princess, and they still give people the opportunity to covet it.
If the princess has a man, even if he is rich, he can gag many people's mouths.
"Although this Liu Xiucai is a poor sour, I see that he is an honest man, and he will not make up his mind, if he goes back to make a house for the princess, the princess can control him, and it is okay." Manna touched her chin and got the idea of letting Xiucai get into trouble.
She is not only the maid of the Nine Hairpins, but also her adviser, or stop, and she is also one of the lords of the Seventy-two Mountains.
Miao Nu has always been bold and unrestrained, and Mammoth didn't think there was anything wrong with hearing this idea, thought about it, and nodded: "Prince Nian'er also likes Mr. Liu's appearance, this matter can indeed be considered." β
"Let's take a look, and I'll also inquire about the princess's meaning." Manna put away the persimmon cakes, and at the same time couldn't help but shake her head: "I don't know how much the princess suffered in the palace of the Han people, how sad that man made her back then, and now she is still hesitating, grinding and chirping where is like our princess of Miaojiang." β
"Hmph, let me see that bastard again, I'm going to kill him!" Mammoth's eyes showed fierceness, and he waved the broadsword in his hand.
The nine hairpins in the room thought of their attributes to help him think about the future, but he sat at the table a little distraught, looking at the bacon and persimmon cakes in the oil paper in a daze.
But his mind suddenly drifted farther away......
I wonder what happened to that man?
The day when I was supposed to get married is now over?
Presumably he is already pregnant with a beautiful woman at this moment, so he has never come to look for her.
The nine hairpins lowered their eyes and smiled lowly, sarcastic and self-deprecating.
Everything is her own passion, how can she blame people for not understanding the wind and moon in her heart?
"Mother, mother, my husband and I are back." The child's childish and lively voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Jiu Hairpin listened to Nian'er's voice, and her originally sad heart instantly calmed down, and she looked at the little boy who happily threw himself into her arms like a fledgling, and suddenly she was relieved - no matter what, he gave her a child and did not come to embarrass her again.
He didn't come to talk to her again, and for that she had to thank him.
Listening to the sound of another footsteps, Jiu Hairpin patted Nian'er's little brain, and stepped forward to greet with a smile: "Mr. Liu, I'm bothering you to take care of Nian'er today, it's cold, bring these clothes and bedding before you go back." β
As she spoke, she took the pocket on Xiucai's shoulder.
Liu Xiucai also entered the door and sat down, while drinking tea, he looked at the things that had been packed, and smiled without refusing: "It's not troublesome, it's childish and smart, teachable, teachable." β
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and took out a large purse from his arms and rested it on the table: "This, for Madame." β
"What is this?" Jiu Hairpin was a little curious, she hadn't seen Liu Xiucai give away anything, he was too poor.
A little flush appeared on Liu Xiucai's delicate face, and he coughed lightly: "That...... Madame always takes care of you, and there is nothing to give you in the next, so I made something to give you when I had nothing to do. β
Jiu Hairpin smiled, and said as he opened it: "Mr. is polite." β
She was stunned when she saw the contents of her purse, which was a beautiful pebble half the size of a palm, and on the pebble was carved a girl carrying a bamboo basket in the bamboo forest and smiling, as bright as summer light.
Her heart was suddenly struck hard - the girl on it was clearly her self more than ten years ago.
It was a stone carved with a small image of her.
Mr. Liu, why is he such a person who values fame......
Nian'er also smiled and shook her little feet on the side: "Master's craftsmanship is good, and Nian'er also has one." β
As he spoke, he also took out a stone, on which was carved a little boy reading.
Jiu Hairpin looked at the stone in Nian'er's hand, and suddenly felt that he really thought about it.
She looked at Liu Xiucai and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir, sir is really a good craft." β
Liu Xiucai's face seemed to be even redder, and he only looked at her quietly with a pair of eyes: "It's good if you like it." β
This time, he didn't call her wife, and the nine-hairpin ghost made her feel that under his gaze, her face was inexplicably a little feverish, and she immediately turned around: "Sir, sit, I'll go and prepare tea again." β
Outside the door, Mammoth and Manna peeked at the scene and slowly exited the courtyard.
Manna touched her chin: "The princess is a little moved, I see that there is a drama in this matter." β
Mammoth frowned: "Also, the little prince of Nian'er likes that Xiucai very much, and he told me last time that it would be nice if he had a father like Liu Xiucai." β
Manna suddenly remembered something: "Also, now I think about the delicate and meticulous appearance of the little prince, but it is a little similar to Liu Xiucai, it is okay to say that it is Liu Xiucai's son, could it be that the man back then was Liu Xiucai?" β
Mammoth: "......." β
Both were silent at the same time, only to find the topic too bizarre and ridiculous, and quickly discarded the idea.
Mammoth said in a low voice: "But the princess's personality has become a little gentle and stubborn now, and she may not agree with our ideas, Liu Xiucai is afraid that she will not be willing to marry Miao Jiang." β
Manna smiled, took out a small bottle from her arms, and her eyes showed a gleam: "When the princess opens her own brain, she doesn't know if she is willing to do it in the Year of the Monkey, whether the poor sour is willing or not, anyway, the princess has taken a fancy to him, he is unwilling, and I have a way to make him willing." β
She had already sent someone to inquire about the situation of this Liu Xiucai, this was the first man in more than ten years who could make the princess blush, and she would also tie it to Miao Jiang.
Let the princess be so inked again, and when she becomes an old woman, she can't find a man to sleep with.
As for sleeping down, her father-in-law mainly didn't like that Liu Xiucai, big deal, she just wanted to clean up that man.
Mammoth glanced at the bottle in her hand, and his eyes widened instantly: "Peach Blossom Lover Gu!" You're going to ....... β
"Shh Manna shook her finger at the mammoth and smiled treacherously, "Didn't the Han people say that soldiers are not tired of cheating. β
It's just that at this time, how did Manna know that the Han people still have a saying called praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.
When she knew, she was stunned and regretted.
β¦β¦
On this day and night, the north howled, and the cold made people shiver.
Liu Xiucai finished teaching Nian'er and was about to go home, and Jiu Hairpin also helped him pick up his things and prepare to give them away: "Mr. is good to go." β
Liu Xiucai looked at the cloak in her hand and raised her eyebrows slightly: "This is ......." β
Jiu Hairpin looked out of the window where the cold wind was howling: "It's snowing outside, and Mr. is dressed too thinly, so be careful not to catch a cold." β
She didn't think much of it, and put it on for him.
It was only when she raised her hand like this that she felt that the thin scholar in front of her was a head taller than her, and when she touched the other party's shoulder, she felt that the other party's shoulder was so thick.
The man under the loose coat was not as skinny as he looked, but ...... The physique is quite sturdy.
This extremely close distance suddenly made Jiu Hairpin feel that the atmosphere was a little weird, and when Xiucai lowered her head, her breath just swept over her sideburns like a feather, with an almost flirtatious meaning.
Especially when the other party watched her tie the rope intently, she was a little flustered and almost tied the rope into a ball.
After so many years, I have never been so close to a man again.
And since when did she and this sour show stand so close?
Finally, she finished her work.
The nine hairpins exhaled with relief: "Okay." β
Liu Xiucai touched his cloak and smiled: "Your embroidery is good, have you ever done it for anyone before?" β
Jiu Hairpin looked at his smile, his heartbeat was inexplicably a little disordered, his cheeks were slightly hot and he shook his head, and at the same time couldn't help but take a step back.
I don't know why, she felt that Liu Xiucai's gaze at her at this time had an almost complex emotion, mixed with anger, helplessness, and even weird resentment.
There was a strange silence between the two again.
Mana suddenly pushed open the door and came in at this time, holding a teapot and teacup in her hand, and smiled at Liu Xiucai: "Mr. Liu, is it leaving, it's cold, drink a cup of ginger tea to drive away the cold before leaving?" β
Seeing Manna come in, Jiu Hairpin only felt that she relaxed instantly, and the embarrassing atmosphere seemed to dissipate, she calmed down, stepped forward and poured a cup of ginger tea and handed it to Liu Xiucai, and said apologetically: "Also, you drink a cup of tea, and it is easier to walk on the road, it will not be too cold." β
Liu Xiucai glanced at her, and was about to drink the tea without suspicion, but when he smelled the smell of ginger tea, he suddenly stopped his movements, stared at the tea, and raised his eyes to look at Jiu Hairpin and Mana.
At that moment, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, making both Manna and the Nine Hairpins shiver in unison.
Manna almost couldn't hold the tray in her hand, and she was inexplicably scared.
"What's the matter, sir?" Jiu Hairpin only frowned slightly, and looked at Liu Xiucai with some suspicion.
Liu Xiucai looked at the nine hairpins, and saw that there was no false color in her big black and white eyes, so she said slowly: "No, it's nothing." β
Then, he drank the tea in his hand little by little.
Manna also handed a cup of tea to the nine hairpins as if unintentionally: "Don't try it, add red dates, it tastes very sweet." β
The nine hairpins have always eaten sweetness, and at this moment she was still in a somewhat complicated mood, so she took it over and drank it all without suspicion.
It's just that as soon as the sweet and spicy sugar water entered her throat, she instantly froze, spit it out at once, and turned her face to glare at Manna in disbelief: "Mana, what are you doing here!" β
Mana smiled, with an innocent look: "I just see that the princess is becoming more and more like the daughter of our Miao family, I don't know if the princess still remembers the love Gu of our Miao family, so I will try whether the love Gu given by the saint is easy to use or not, now the male Gu is on you, and the female Gu is on him." β
"Are you crazy!" The nine hairpins couldn't believe their ears and angrily approached Mana.
Lover's Gu is the Gu that Miao Nu placed on her lover, in the first year, the man of Gu will be extremely infatuated with the Miao girl who is under Gu, indulging in tenderness and honey, and the power of Gu will begin to decrease in the second year, but if the man tries to leave Miao Nu for more than a year, he will have a Gu poison attack and be painful.
Is Manna crazy, she actually played tricks on her and Liu Xiucai.
She couldn't believe that the people around her had betrayed her!
Manna immediately shrank her head and said, "Oh, do you really want to get to the bottom of it now, but Liu Xiucai seems to be a little unable to hold on?" β
Jiu Hairpin immediately turned around, and sure enough, he saw a figure fall directly to the ground with a "poof".
"Mr. Liu!" She subconsciously rushed over to check on Liu Xiucai's situation.
When she realized that something was wrong and turned around, she happened to see Manna flashing out of the room with a confused mind, and locking the door by the way.
"Mana, you're back!" Nine hairpins almost exploded in anger and tried to rush to the door, but she was only able to stand up but was dragged by her ankle.
As soon as she lowered her head, she saw Liu Xiucai's face crimson, and her expression was curled up in pain: "It's uncomfortable......." β
Nine hairpins: "......." β
She hesitated for a while, but decided to get Liu Xiucai to the bed first.
Outside the door, Nian'er looked at Manna blankly: "Sister Mana, why are you locking my aunt and husband together?" β
Mana lowered her head and touched his little brain, and asked slyly, "Do you want Mr. Liu to be your husband forever and take care of you like a father?" β
The little guy tilted his head and thought about it, and said with a smile: "Yes!" β
If Mr. Liu can take care of him like his father, then he will not be able to learn martial arts secretly in the future!
Manna smiled even more slyly: "Then let's let your aunt persuade your husband to be your father, let's go back to your room first?" β
Nian'er nodded like pounded garlic: "Okay!" β
Although he was sometimes very strict, he liked to be close to him and admired him for his erudition.
The eldest and the other walked hand in hand towards the other courtyard, and Manna did not forget to tell the people nearby that no matter what noise they heard in the courtyard, they were not allowed to enter the princess's courtyard at dawn.
The guards around knew that Mr. Liu hadn't left today, and when they heard something they didn't understand when they heard such an order, they all smiled and nodded strangely.
Let's say that this nine-hairpin was so easy to put Xiucai on the bed, she was so tired that she was panting, and at the same time, the man's breath also made her upset, her blood was churning, and she almost collapsed on the other party's body and whispered.
She knew that this was a Gu poison attack, although she spit out the tea, but her sister was a saint, and she had devoted herself to studying the Gu King's book for more than ten years, and her sister's love Gu was absolutely unusual and very fierce.
If she was already so difficult to endure the attack of emotional Gu in her body, and her intention was very moving, then wouldn't Liu Xiucai ......
Jiu Hairpin immediately looked down at the man below him, and saw that Liu Xiucai's turban had fallen off, his black hair was scattered, and his handsome face was crimson, with a charming look of confusion, but his eyes were unusually clear, looking at her directly.
His eyes almost made her think he was awake, but the unusual burning of his body made her realize otherwise.
"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry ......." She didn't dare to meet his eyes, only felt weak, and tried to get up from him.
She needs to get out of here quickly, get Manna back, and ask for an antidote!
But she raised her waist, but found that she couldn't move the next moment, and she found that Liu Xiucai didn't know when she had reached out to clasp her waist.
"Nine hairpins, I want to ask you, do you really plan to go down alone like this for the rest of your life?" He looked at her quietly, his voice hoarse.
Jiu Hairpin palpitated in his heart and closed his eyes: "Three changes, you just ate something you shouldn't eat, don't ......." β
But before she finished speaking, she was held in his arms, and his gentle voice came from his ears, as if he was trying to hide something, and seemed to sigh: "Don't be stubborn anymore, how many decades can life be, nine hairpins, Guan Guan Ju dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman, my heart has you for ......a long time." β
Although the man said such a crepe words, it made Jiu Hairpin completely stunned, her mind was in chaos, she seemed to have heard something terrible, but what was it?
The instinctive blazing fire on her body, the desire was like burning, and the Gu man's breath was like a tempting poison, making her almost unable to control her body and consciousness, let alone think.
Seeing that the person in his arms was so entangled, he sighed lightly, raised his hand to clasp the back of her head, lowered his head and kissed it: "Don't think about it...... The bento is God's fulfillment of you and me. β
The crisp and mellow manly breath came, like adding fuel to the fire, instantly burning all her will and consciousness, and she collapsed in a daze.
The room is full of spring.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦*β¦β¦*β¦β¦*β¦β¦
Jiu Hairpin dreamed, and that dream was very long, covering almost the first half of her life.
She fell in love with her childhood sweetheart in a dream, young and frivolous, desperate, wanting to fulfill anyone, or be fulfilled by anyone, but in the end, along with her enthusiasm and youth, she was annihilated in a foreign land.
Suffering and hardship always make people grow, in the dream, she met another elegant white shadow, handsome, in the long and lonely time in a foreign country, she once again moved her feelings, moved her heart.
But things are always ......
She always seems to be struggling between loving and not being loved, ten years of hardship, ten years of heart like water, but going around and making waves again.
It's a long dream......
She slowly opened her wet eyes and slowly saw the green tent above her head.
A mellow voice sounded beside her: "Do you want to drink water?" β
Jiu Hairpin didn't speak, just sat up slowly, put on the middle coat that fell on the side, and said lightly after a while: "Mr. Liu, or I should call you Lord Shuangbai, I don't know when Shang Shulang will have such time to accompany me to play?" β
Three changes, three changes, she should have thought of it a long time ago.
The man told her so bluntly that he was just fickle and deceitful.
After a moment, she felt a slender figure appear beside her.
The man looked down at her, still the same delicate and handsome Swen face, but his eyes had completely changed, deep and distant, and implied wisdom: "Some people say that I never know the sincerity of others, my own true intentions, and I never know what it is like to be a real person." β
Jiu Hairpin didn't look at him, and curled the corners of his lips mockingly: "So what? β
Liu Xiucai, or Lord Shuangbai, slowly leaned down, lifted her face, forced her to look at her face, and said slowly: "So I used my original face to personally do what a person and a man should do - recover my own woman." β
Jiu Hairpin looked at his face, his breath was suffocated, and he was inexplicably flustered in his heart: "You ......." β
"That's right, this is what I am, my original appearance, although it is now a human skin mask, but this is what I used to be, do you hate it?" Shuangbai looked at her with an unusually focused expression.
Although His Highness changed the outline of his original bones, he still made this mask according to his own memory.
Jiu Hairpin looked at the delicate face in front of him, the strange and familiar feeling made him feel like he was numb, why didn't she notice this face...... So similar to her little Nian'er...... So ......
She closed her eyes, wanting to turn her face away, facing this face similar to Nian'er, she couldn't say that she hated it, but said coldly: "You were hit by the Gu ...... last night." β
But Shuangbai didn't let go of his hand, just stretched out his hand and clasped her in his arms, chuckling lowly: "I fell into the Peach Blossom Gu, or it's called the Love Gu, it was really thanks to Mana's assertion last night, otherwise I don't know when I, the poor sour gentleman, will be." β
Jiu Hairpin was stunned, a little incredulous: "You...... You know? β
Shuangbai said lightly: "What do you say? β
What is he willing to take the love Gu for her?
Jiu Hairpin was a little trembling and wanted to push him away: "I don't know! β
But how could she push it, but was hugged tighter, Shuangbai tightened her arms, and whispered softly in her ear: "Don't run away anymore, Jiu Hairpin, we have missed ten years, I have lost my wife and children for ten years because of my frivolous conceit, remember what I told you last night - how many decades are left in our lives?" β
The nine hairpins trembled, closed their eyes, and tears rained down.
The cold wind outside the window, the snow fluttering, the room is charming, the warmth is melting, and the red line of marriage that has dissipated in the long time is quietly connected again.
Or maybe the red thread was never broken on each other's little fingers, it just went too far......
------Off topic------
Okay, the chapter of Shuangbai is over, who is going to pinch it next~Β·Guess,Hehe.
The days passed, and the weather after the Mid-Autumn Festival soon cooled down, and winter soon came.
So in the snowy days, Mr. Liu gradually went to the students' homes more and more, and sometimes in the afternoon, he had to grind until the evening before carrying his schoolbag and walking through the snow to leave.
Although Liu Xiucai's argument is that the stone field is too noisy, which is not conducive to students' learning.
However, in view of the fact that he always arrived just before lunch and left after dinner, and occasionally carried away two pieces of bacon or a few jars of wine, everyone in the courtyard silently thought that pedantic scholars were not so uncannibalistic.
"What, it's obviously a poor show who came to fight the autumn wind!" A girl counted the bacon hanging under the eaves and couldn't help muttering a few words.
But the nine hairpins who were drying persimmon cakes on the side shook their heads a little unhappily: "Okay, Mana, Mr. Liu never accepts Nian'er's bundle of cultivation, life is difficult, and he is unwilling to become a teacher in a large family, let's take care of it more, we Miao people have always been generous to friends, aren't we?" β
She is very satisfied with Liu Sanchang's teaching these days, and Nian'er's progress can be said to be a rapid progress.
Mana thought about it, and then forked down another piece of bacon with a fork: "Yes, it's pitiful to see his thin appearance, just Mr. Liu will come to give it to him tonight." β
Jiu Hairpin also picked up a bag of persimmon cakes and bacon wrapped in oiled paper, and at the same time instructed Mana: "Mr. didn't come to eat at noon today, and he will eat more in the evening, so you tell the kitchen to prepare two more of our hometown dishes - bamboo rice and wild boar fried garlic sprouts." β
"Okay." Manna nodded.
A cool breeze blew, and Jiu Hairpin couldn't help but shiver: "Ha Qiu." β
Manna immediately pulled her into the room, and complained in a low voice: "When can we go back to Miaojiang, the Han people are too cold here, and I don't like snow at all." β
Jiu Hairpin seemed to think of something: "By the way, prepare a set of bedding for Mr. Liu, I heard Nian'er say that there is a charcoal basin for roasting fire in his room, and the quilts are very thin." β
When Manna heard this, she also said: "Also, what kind of poor Xiucai has become, I see him wearing it around, and there are only two or three sets of ragged coats, which are very thin, and on such a cold day, I don't see him getting cold and pneumonia." β
Jiu Hairpin frowned slightly, and glanced at Manna unashamedly: "Take care of your mouth, say something nice, don't curse people." β
Manna was reprimanded, but she was not unhappy, but showed a strange smile and approached the nine hairpins: "I said princess, have you taken a fancy to the poor sour show, I haven't seen you worry so much about anyone on weekdays, every day when the poor sour show comes, you can stay in the same room with him for a long time." β
Jiu Hairpin froze instantly, blushed and glanced at Mana fiercely: "What nonsense, it's too cold outside the house, I do needlework in the house, not to mention that Nian'er is studying with Mr. β
Manna smiled even more weirdly: "That's right, every time I go in to deliver water, I see that the three of you are like a family, we Miao people don't have the habit of Han people from the beginning, princess, you have been alone for so many years, it's ......not bad to find a father for Nian'er." β
"Alright, don't say any more!" Jiu Hairpin interrupted her words with a cold face: "A scholar like Mr. Liu is also pedantic, and he doesn't like this kind of rumors about melons and plums the most, don't let people laugh at us Miao people frivolous." β
With that, she hurried into the house.
Manna was thrown with a cold face, touched her nose and couldn't help muttering: "Didn't the princess herself find out that she was panicking, if it was really nothing, what was she panicking?" β
"If the princess has a good home, we can return to the saint with confidence." Mammoth's low, gruff voice rang out behind her.
Manna glanced at the mammoth who came in with a big knife, and sighed lightly: "I see what the saint means, if the princess doesn't have a man she likes, after returning to Miaojiang, the saint will arrange a blind date for the princess, and you also know that some people in Seventy-two Mountains have become more and more arrogant recently, isn't it just that the princess is weak alone, the holy daughter of Jiucui has no children in this life, if the princess only has a little prince ...... Nian'er." β
"Just a little prince, if there is any accident, I'm afraid that some people in Seventy-two Mountains will get into trouble." Mammoth picked up the conversation, frowning.
They Miao people are not as particular as the Han people, and they must be the right person, but Tusi Mansion only has two people, the saint and the princess, and they still give people the opportunity to covet it.
If the princess has a man, even if he is rich, he can gag many people's mouths.
"Although this Liu Xiucai is a poor sour, I see that he is an honest man, and he will not make up his mind, if he goes back to make a house for the princess, the princess can control him, and it is okay." Manna touched her chin and got the idea of letting Xiucai get into trouble.
She is not only the maid of the Nine Hairpins, but also her adviser, or stop, and she is also one of the lords of the Seventy-two Mountains.
Miao Nu has always been bold and unrestrained, and Mammoth didn't think there was anything wrong with hearing this idea, thought about it, and nodded: "Prince Nian'er also likes Mr. Liu's appearance, this matter can indeed be considered." β
"Let's take a look, and I'll also inquire about the princess's meaning." Manna put away the persimmon cakes, and at the same time couldn't help but shake her head: "I don't know how much the princess suffered in the palace of the Han people, how sad that man made her back then, and now she is still hesitating, grinding and chirping where is like our princess of Miaojiang." β
"Hmph, let me see that bastard again, I'm going to kill him!" Mammoth's eyes showed fierceness, and he waved the broadsword in his hand.
The nine hairpins in the room thought of their attributes to help him think about the future, but he sat at the table a little distraught, looking at the bacon and persimmon cakes in the oil paper in a daze.
But his mind suddenly drifted farther away......
I wonder what happened to that man?
The day when I was supposed to get married is now over?
Presumably he is already pregnant with a beautiful woman at this moment, so he has never come to look for her.
The nine hairpins lowered their eyes and smiled lowly, sarcastic and self-deprecating.
Everything is her own passion, how can she blame people for not understanding the wind and moon in her heart?
"Mother, mother, my husband and I are back." The child's childish and lively voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Jiu Hairpin listened to Nian'er's voice, and her originally sad heart instantly calmed down, and she looked at the little boy who happily threw himself into her arms like a fledgling, and suddenly she was relieved - no matter what, he gave her a child and did not come to embarrass her again.
He didn't come to talk to her again, and for that she had to thank him.
Listening to the sound of another footsteps, Jiu Hairpin patted Nian'er's little brain, and stepped forward to greet with a smile: "Mr. Liu, I'm bothering you to take care of Nian'er today, it's cold, bring these clothes and bedding before you go back." β
As she spoke, she took the pocket on Xiucai's shoulder.
Liu Xiucai also entered the door and sat down, while drinking tea, he looked at the things that had been packed, and smiled without refusing: "It's not troublesome, it's childish and smart, teachable, teachable." β
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and took out a large purse from his arms and rested it on the table: "This, for Madame." β
"What is this?" Jiu Hairpin was a little curious, she hadn't seen Liu Xiucai give away anything, he was too poor.
A little flush appeared on Liu Xiucai's delicate face, and he coughed lightly: "That...... Madame always takes care of you, and there is nothing to give you in the next, so I made something to give you when I had nothing to do. β
Jiu Hairpin smiled, and said as he opened it: "Mr. is polite." β
She was stunned when she saw the contents of her purse, which was a beautiful pebble half the size of a palm, and on the pebble was carved a girl carrying a bamboo basket in the bamboo forest and smiling, as bright as summer light.
Her heart was suddenly struck hard - the girl on it was clearly her self more than ten years ago.
It was a stone carved with a small image of her.
Mr. Liu, why is he such a person who values fame......
Nian'er also smiled and shook her little feet on the side: "Master's craftsmanship is good, and Nian'er also has one." β
As he spoke, he also took out a stone, on which was carved a little boy reading.
Jiu Hairpin looked at the stone in Nian'er's hand, and suddenly felt that he really thought about it.
She looked at Liu Xiucai and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir, sir is really a good craft." β
Liu Xiucai's face seemed to be even redder, and he only looked at her quietly with a pair of eyes: "It's good if you like it." β
This time, he didn't call her wife, and the nine-hairpin ghost made her feel that under his gaze, her face was inexplicably a little feverish, and she immediately turned around: "Sir, sit, I'll go and prepare tea again." β
Outside the door, Mammoth and Manna peeked at the scene and slowly exited the courtyard.
Manna touched her chin: "The princess is a little moved, I see that there is a drama in this matter." β
Mammoth frowned: "Also, the little prince of Nian'er likes that Xiucai very much, and he told me last time that it would be nice if he had a father like Liu Xiucai." β
Manna suddenly remembered something: "Also, now I think about the delicate and meticulous appearance of the little prince, but it is a little similar to Liu Xiucai, it is okay to say that it is Liu Xiucai's son, could it be that the man back then was Liu Xiucai?" β
Mammoth: "......." β
Both were silent at the same time, only to find the topic too bizarre and ridiculous, and quickly discarded the idea.
Mammoth said in a low voice: "But the princess's personality has become a little gentle and stubborn now, and she may not agree with our ideas, Liu Xiucai is afraid that she will not be willing to marry Miao Jiang." β
Manna smiled, took out a small bottle from her arms, and her eyes showed a gleam: "When the princess opens her own brain, she doesn't know if she is willing to do it in the Year of the Monkey, whether the poor sour is willing or not, anyway, the princess has taken a fancy to him, he is unwilling, and I have a way to make him willing." β
She had already sent someone to inquire about the situation of this Liu Xiucai, this was the first man in more than ten years who could make the princess blush, and she would also tie it to Miao Jiang.
Let the princess be so inked again, and when she becomes an old woman, she can't find a man to sleep with.
As for sleeping down, her father-in-law mainly didn't like that Liu Xiucai, big deal, she just wanted to clean up that man.
Mammoth glanced at the bottle in her hand, and his eyes widened instantly: "Peach Blossom Lover Gu!" You're going to ....... β
"Shh Manna shook her finger at the mammoth and smiled treacherously, "Didn't the Han people say that soldiers are not tired of cheating. β
It's just that at this time, how did Manna know that the Han people still have a saying called praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.
When she knew, she was stunned and regretted.
β¦β¦
On this day and night, the north howled, and the cold made people shiver.
Liu Xiucai finished teaching Nian'er and was about to go home, and Jiu Hairpin also helped him pick up his things and prepare to give them away: "Mr. is good to go." β
Liu Xiucai looked at the cloak in her hand and raised her eyebrows slightly: "This is ......." β
Jiu Hairpin looked out of the window where the cold wind was howling: "It's snowing outside, and Mr. is dressed too thinly, so be careful not to catch a cold." β
She didn't think much of it, and put it on for him.
It was only when she raised her hand like this that she felt that the thin scholar in front of her was a head taller than her, and when she touched the other party's shoulder, she felt that the other party's shoulder was so thick.
The man under the loose coat was not as skinny as he looked, but ...... The physique is quite sturdy.
This extremely close distance suddenly made Jiu Hairpin feel that the atmosphere was a little weird, and when Xiucai lowered her head, her breath just swept over her sideburns like a feather, with an almost flirtatious meaning.
Especially when the other party watched her tie the rope intently, she was a little flustered and almost tied the rope into a ball.
After so many years, I have never been so close to a man again.
And since when did she and this sour show stand so close?
Finally, she finished her work.
The nine hairpins exhaled with relief: "Okay." β
Liu Xiucai touched his cloak and smiled: "Your embroidery is good, have you ever done it for anyone before?" β
Jiu Hairpin looked at his smile, his heartbeat was inexplicably a little disordered, his cheeks were slightly hot and he shook his head, and at the same time couldn't help but take a step back.
I don't know why, she felt that Liu Xiucai's gaze at her at this time had an almost complex emotion, mixed with anger, helplessness, and even weird resentment.
There was a strange silence between the two again.
Mana suddenly pushed open the door and came in at this time, holding a teapot and teacup in her hand, and smiled at Liu Xiucai: "Mr. Liu, is it leaving, it's cold, drink a cup of ginger tea to drive away the cold before leaving?" β
Seeing Manna come in, Jiu Hairpin only felt that she relaxed instantly, and the embarrassing atmosphere seemed to dissipate, she calmed down, stepped forward and poured a cup of ginger tea and handed it to Liu Xiucai, and said apologetically: "Also, you drink a cup of tea, and it is easier to walk on the road, it will not be too cold." β
Liu Xiucai glanced at her, and was about to drink the tea without suspicion, but when he smelled the smell of ginger tea, he suddenly stopped his movements, stared at the tea, and raised his eyes to look at Jiu Hairpin and Mana.
At that moment, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, making both Manna and the Nine Hairpins shiver in unison.
Manna almost couldn't hold the tray in her hand, and she was inexplicably scared.
"What's the matter, sir?" Jiu Hairpin only frowned slightly, and looked at Liu Xiucai with some suspicion.
Liu Xiucai looked at the nine hairpins, and saw that there was no false color in her big black and white eyes, so she said slowly: "No, it's nothing." β
Then, he drank the tea in his hand little by little.
Manna also handed a cup of tea to the nine hairpins as if unintentionally: "Don't try it, add red dates, it tastes very sweet." β
The nine hairpins have always eaten sweetness, and at this moment she was still in a somewhat complicated mood, so she took it over and drank it all without suspicion.
It's just that as soon as the sweet and spicy sugar water entered her throat, she instantly froze, spit it out at once, and turned her face to glare at Manna in disbelief: "Mana, what are you doing here!" β
Mana smiled, with an innocent look: "I just see that the princess is becoming more and more like the daughter of our Miao family, I don't know if the princess still remembers the love Gu of our Miao family, so I will try whether the love Gu given by the saint is easy to use or not, now the male Gu is on you, and the female Gu is on him." β
"Are you crazy!" The nine hairpins couldn't believe their ears and angrily approached Mana.
Lover's Gu is the Gu that Miao Nu placed on her lover, in the first year, the man of Gu will be extremely infatuated with the Miao girl who is under Gu, indulging in tenderness and honey, and the power of Gu will begin to decrease in the second year, but if the man tries to leave Miao Nu for more than a year, he will have a Gu poison attack and be painful.
Is Manna crazy, she actually played tricks on her and Liu Xiucai.
She couldn't believe that the people around her had betrayed her!
Manna immediately shrank her head and said, "Oh, do you really want to get to the bottom of it now, but Liu Xiucai seems to be a little unable to hold on?" β
Jiu Hairpin immediately turned around, and sure enough, he saw a figure fall directly to the ground with a "poof".
"Mr. Liu!" She subconsciously rushed over to check on Liu Xiucai's situation.
When she realized that something was wrong and turned around, she happened to see Manna flashing out of the room with a confused mind, and locking the door by the way.
"Mana, you're back!" Nine hairpins almost exploded in anger and tried to rush to the door, but she was only able to stand up but was dragged by her ankle.
As soon as she lowered her head, she saw Liu Xiucai's face crimson, and her expression was curled up in pain: "It's uncomfortable......." β
Nine hairpins: "......." β
She hesitated for a while, but decided to get Liu Xiucai to the bed first.
Outside the door, Nian'er looked at Manna blankly: "Sister Mana, why are you locking my aunt and husband together?" β
Mana lowered her head and touched his little brain, and asked slyly, "Do you want Mr. Liu to be your husband forever and take care of you like a father?" β
The little guy tilted his head and thought about it, and said with a smile: "Yes!" β
If Mr. Liu can take care of him like his father, then he will not be able to learn martial arts secretly in the future!
Manna smiled even more slyly: "Then let's let your aunt persuade your husband to be your father, let's go back to your room first?" β
Nian'er nodded like pounded garlic: "Okay!" β
Although he was sometimes very strict, he liked to be close to him and admired him for his erudition.
The eldest and the other walked hand in hand towards the other courtyard, and Manna did not forget to tell the people nearby that no matter what noise they heard in the courtyard, they were not allowed to enter the princess's courtyard at dawn.
The guards around knew that Mr. Liu hadn't left today, and when they heard something they didn't understand when they heard such an order, they all smiled and nodded strangely.
Let's say that this nine-hairpin was so easy to put Xiucai on the bed, she was so tired that she was panting, and at the same time, the man's breath also made her upset, her blood was churning, and she almost collapsed on the other party's body and whispered.
She knew that this was a Gu poison attack, although she spit out the tea, but her sister was a saint, and she had devoted herself to studying the Gu King's book for more than ten years, and her sister's love Gu was absolutely unusual and very fierce.
If she was already so difficult to endure the attack of emotional Gu in her body, and her intention was very moving, then wouldn't Liu Xiucai ......
Jiu Hairpin immediately looked down at the man below him, and saw that Liu Xiucai's turban had fallen off, his black hair was scattered, and his handsome face was crimson, with a charming look of confusion, but his eyes were unusually clear, looking at her directly.
His eyes almost made her think he was awake, but the unusual burning of his body made her realize otherwise.
"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry ......." She didn't dare to meet his eyes, only felt weak, and tried to get up from him.
She needs to get out of here quickly, get Manna back, and ask for an antidote!
But she raised her waist, but found that she couldn't move the next moment, and she found that Liu Xiucai didn't know when she had reached out to clasp her waist.
"Nine hairpins, I want to ask you, do you really plan to go down alone like this for the rest of your life?" He looked at her quietly, his voice hoarse.
Jiu Hairpin palpitated in his heart and closed his eyes: "Three changes, you just ate something you shouldn't eat, don't ......." β
But before she finished speaking, she was held in his arms, and his gentle voice came from his ears, as if he was trying to hide something, and seemed to sigh: "Don't be stubborn anymore, how many decades can life be, nine hairpins, Guan Guan Ju dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman, my heart has you for ......a long time." β
Although the man said such a crepe words, it made Jiu Hairpin completely stunned, her mind was in chaos, she seemed to have heard something terrible, but what was it?
The instinctive blazing fire on her body, the desire was like burning, and the Gu man's breath was like a tempting poison, making her almost unable to control her body and consciousness, let alone think.
Seeing that the person in his arms was so entangled, he sighed lightly, raised his hand to clasp the back of her head, lowered his head and kissed it: "Don't think about it...... The bento is God's fulfillment of you and me. β
The crisp and mellow manly breath came, like adding fuel to the fire, instantly burning all her will and consciousness, and she collapsed in a daze.
The room is full of spring.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦*β¦β¦*β¦β¦*β¦β¦
Jiu Hairpin dreamed, and that dream was very long, covering almost the first half of her life.
She fell in love with her childhood sweetheart in a dream, young and frivolous, desperate, wanting to fulfill anyone, or be fulfilled by anyone, but in the end, along with her enthusiasm and youth, she was annihilated in a foreign land.
Suffering and hardship always make people grow, in the dream, she met another elegant white shadow, handsome, in the long and lonely time in a foreign country, she once again moved her feelings, moved her heart.
But things are always ......
She always seems to be struggling between loving and not being loved, ten years of hardship, ten years of heart like water, but going around and making waves again.
It's a long dream......
She slowly opened her wet eyes and slowly saw the green tent above her head.
A mellow voice sounded beside her: "Do you want to drink water?" β
Jiu Hairpin didn't speak, just sat up slowly, put on the middle coat that fell on the side, and said lightly after a while: "Mr. Liu, or I should call you Lord Shuangbai, I don't know when Shang Shulang will have such time to accompany me to play?" β
Three changes, three changes, she should have thought of it a long time ago.
The man told her so bluntly that he was just fickle and deceitful.
After a moment, she felt a slender figure appear beside her.
The man looked down at her, still the same delicate and handsome Swen face, but his eyes had completely changed, deep and distant, and implied wisdom: "Some people say that I never know the sincerity of others, my own true intentions, and I never know what it is like to be a real person." β
Jiu Hairpin didn't look at him, and curled the corners of his lips mockingly: "So what? β
Liu Xiucai, or Lord Shuangbai, slowly leaned down, lifted her face, forced her to look at her face, and said slowly: "So I used my original face to personally do what a person and a man should do - recover my own woman." β
Jiu Hairpin looked at his face, his breath was suffocated, and he was inexplicably flustered in his heart: "You ......." β
"That's right, this is what I am, my original appearance, although it is now a human skin mask, but this is what I used to be, do you hate it?" Shuangbai looked at her with an unusually focused expression.
Although His Highness changed the outline of his original bones, he still made this mask according to his own memory.
Jiu Hairpin looked at the delicate face in front of him, the strange and familiar feeling made him feel like he was numb, why didn't she notice this face...... So similar to her little Nian'er...... So ......
She closed her eyes, wanting to turn her face away, facing this face similar to Nian'er, she couldn't say that she hated it, but said coldly: "You were hit by the Gu ...... last night." β
But Shuangbai didn't let go of his hand, just stretched out his hand and clasped her in his arms, chuckling lowly: "I fell into the Peach Blossom Gu, or it's called the Love Gu, it was really thanks to Mana's assertion last night, otherwise I don't know when I, the poor sour gentleman, will be." β
Jiu Hairpin was stunned, a little incredulous: "You...... You know? β
Shuangbai said lightly: "What do you say? β
What is he willing to take the love Gu for her?
Jiu Hairpin was a little trembling and wanted to push him away: "I don't know! β
But how could she push it, but was hugged tighter, Shuangbai tightened her arms, and whispered softly in her ear: "Don't run away anymore, Jiu Hairpin, we have missed ten years, I have lost my wife and children for ten years because of my frivolous conceit, remember what I told you last night - how many decades are left in our lives?" β
The nine hairpins trembled, closed their eyes, and tears rained down.
The cold wind outside the window, the snow fluttering, the room is charming, the warmth is melting, and the red line of marriage that has dissipated in the long time is quietly connected again.
Or maybe the red thread was never broken on each other's little fingers, it just went too far......
------Off topic------
Okay, the chapter of Shuangbai is over, who is going to pinch it next~Β·Guess,Hehe.
