The young girl came back early and instructed the maids to fetch water, boil water, and prepare a soup bath for the master, so Jing Ci went straight to the bathing room after returning.
The water is steaming, the hot bucket is full of petals, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, Jing Ci is soaked in the water, leaning his head against the edge of the bucket, his white arms are on both sides, and his eyes are slowly closed. These days are really tiring, and it is not easy to host family affairs, but fortunately, the birthday banquet was successful and nothing went wrong.
After soaking for nearly half an hour, Jing Ci got up, the water marks flowed down from top to bottom, she wiped her body dry, and put on the delicately embroidered clothes and skirts one by one...... Then he walked outside.
Jing Ci's ears were sharp, and when he sat on the couch, he could hear a faint sound outside the window.
"Is the word coming?" She raised her voice.
There was no movement outside the window, and the silence was restored.
It's about the little girl's hairy hands and feet, Jing Ci thought to herself, so she lowered her head and drank tea.
Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, and she was so frightened that she trembled the teacup and wanted to fall on her skirt. Cui Liu's eyes quickly and steadily caught the teacup, and his tone was helpless, "What should I do if I am so careless and burned?" ā
"Y-How did you get in? Hey, are you a thief? sneaked into the lady's boudoir so quietly. Jing Ci's eyes widened at him.
Cui Luo gently put the teacup on the case, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Yes, I am a thief, I heard that the flowers of Zheng Guogong's house are extremely moving, so Cui specially stayed until the door of the fang was closed and sneaked into the Guogong Mansion to steal the flowers." ā
"Tut-tut, that's too unfair." She shook her head.
"I'm walking through the front gate in a dignified manner, isn't it called a bright and upright place?"
"Bright and upright is three books, six ceremonies, and eight sedan chairs, are you?" Jing Ci was still staring at him with big sparkling eyes.
"Three books, six ceremonies, eight sedan chairs?" Cui Lu shook his head and said honestly: "No." ā
Jing Ci ignored him and continued to pick up the teacup and drink tea.
"It's just...... There are beauties, never forget when you see them, don't see them for a day, and think about them like crazy. ā
"I can't resist the temptation, don't think it's okay to praise me a few words." She raised her head proudly.
"The person I like, how can I care about the three books, six ceremonies, and eight sedan chairs, what about me, in this life, I only want to see the faint flying bridge with her, and ask the fishing boat on the west side of the rock."
A flash of light flashed in her beautiful eyes, did she hear it right? This is a promise to spend a lifetime together.
"Is that true?"
"This is what I want for the rest of my life." Cui Lu's expression was soft, and he hugged her into his arms with a smile.
"At that time, I won't be the fourth mother of the Yang family, let's leave Chang'an together?"
He nodded earnestly, "Hmm! ā
Jing Ci's heart was full of emotion, and the fatigue of the days really came to naught at this moment, and there was a clear and sweet stream flowing slowly in his heart, and where he passed, everything grew.
Cui Qi didn't stay long, Jing Ci wanted to have dinner with him, but thought that he still had an appointment with Qian Zhiyu, so he gave up. When parting, she held his hand and reluctantly let go, her fingertips touched, and he held her hand back, close to his lips, "Be obedient." ā
Jing Zi smiled suddenly, "Let's go." ā
He turned to go out, and she leaned on the window to watch his back, thinking that he would really go out of the gate of the courtyard, but as soon as he stepped out of the door, he kicked his legs a few times and flew up to the roof and disappeared from sight.
Jing Ci couldn't help but pout, saying what to go through the door, liar. But he really looks a bit like a flower thief.
"Siniang, what are you laughing at?" As soon as Fang Nian entered the door, he was very surprised to see his master pursing his lips and smiling.
"Ahem, ahem, nothing," she immediately came back to her senses, "that ...... Haven't you come yet? ā
"Here, the slave is about to pass on to you."
"Oh, get her in."
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
An instant.
A touch of graceful figure walked in, Qian Zhiyu had a lot of makeup, and a shallow smile.
"It's only come at this hour, aren't you going home?"
Qian Zhiyu nodded, "I know you're tired and want you to rest a little longer." ā
"It's still a confidant and a friend who knows how to be considerate of himself." Jing Ci smiled and got up and pulled her to sit down beside her.
"I'll stay in the courtyard tonight, would you like to take it in?"
"That's natural, you can sleep in whichever room you like, you can choose."
"I'm going to sleep with you." The corners of Qian Zhiyu's mouth curled.
Jing Ci felt that today's Qian Zhiyu was different from the past, more peaceful and stable, and said that he wanted to stay overnight, so he must have a lot of things to say. She understands the words of money, but whenever she has a little idea, she wants to confide out, and she can't hold back the slightest thought.
Although Qian Zhiyu's biological mother and family affairs sharpened her temperament and made her learn to dissolve herself, her nature could not be changed after all.
The two of them had dinner together, and the cook cooked a few more dishes than usual.
"Your taste is still exactly the same as when you were in Tanzhou, and you love to eat crystal dragon and phoenix cakes."
Jing Ci said: "You haven't changed, you must drink a big bowl of milk before eating." By the way, weren't you supervised by a few maids last time? Why is it not there this time? ā
Qian Zhiyu pouted, "Who knows, Aunt Gong is exercising her rights as a master and mother by herself, and she is a fox and a tiger." ā
As soon as he talked about the affairs of the house, Qian Zhiyu felt bad. She used to avoid it, but ah, today she suddenly wants to face it calmly, after all, she can finally get rid of those bad things.
Qian Zhi's tone was light, "Actually, I can't blame my aunt, Aunt Gong is Auntie's personal maid, and she was later taken into the room by Daddy, and she was favored by Daddy for a while." That's when she started to dictate, and she didn't even pay attention to me. Tell me, she was originally just a slave, but she became an elder, how annoying! ā
"Well, I can understand you, in the past, my family also had a commanding mother to marry a maid, I often thought that if Daddy took her into the room one day, I would be so angry that I would run away from home." Jing Ci empathizes with this.
"But later, when A-Niang got sick, she handed over the power of the main mother to Aunt Gong, and she became more and more open-toothed and claw-dancing."
"Your aunt is also willing?"
"What's the way, the other aunts gave birth to a boy, and A-Niang got sick again. Daddy will not let a sick person take charge of the family, if Daddy does not hand over power, I am afraid that sooner or later Daddy will straighten out the aunt who gave birth to a male heir. Ah Niang might as well take the name of the housemother and hand over the power of the family to Aunt Gong, at least she is still obedient to Ah Niang's words now......"
Jing Ci sighed lightly, it seems that the Qian Mansion is not purer than the Yang Mansion at all.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Late at night, the inner room.
The two really slept together, Jing Ci's bed was very spacious, and the two of them were covered with a quilt respectively, so that they would not be crowded and uncomfortable.
Qian Zhiyu chattered all night.
"When Ah Yi was picked up, Ah Dad wanted to raise him as a little servant. Aunt Gong refused, she wanted to be a son, Daddy couldn't have a son, who let Aunt Gong just slip at that time, so she had to follow her ......"
"Daddy once wrote a letter to A-Niang who returned to Tanzhou, 'Mo Shanghua blooms, but it can be returned slowly', you say it's not funny, men are all thin lovers, in this world, love and righteousness are unreliable, and only you can rely on yourself......"
It was already late, and Qian Zhiyu finally dozed off, and his sleepiness was long overdue.
Jing Ci got up and turned off the lights, and the entire inner room suddenly went dark.
"Hey."
"Huh?" In the darkness, Jing Ci opened his eyes when he heard the sound.
"Do you have a favorite Lang Jun?"
"Yes."
"It's the merchant."
"Yes." Jing Zi answered softly.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
For a long time, Qian Zhiyu did not say anything more.
"Hey."
Jing Ci was in a daze, and when he was about to fall asleep, Qian Zhiyu suddenly spoke again,
"Huh?" She suddenly came to her senses.
"I'm getting married."
"What?"
"The other party is Li Longji, the king of Linzi, who will marry in the sun."
