Chapter 18: The Noble Girl Who Married the Reckless Man (9)
~~Thank you for the reward from the drunken moon concubine Yuqin, Mo Da~~
Qi Ming nodded naturally, and ordered someone to go to the Shen family to ask for needlework and other things, Sha Hua tentatively spoke, "Seventh brother, I saw my sister-in-law turn around outside the study several times, but it can't be a misunderstanding, right?" β

Sawa pouts, Chauvin pig!
Qi Ming didn't notice Sha Hua's careful thoughts, and asked her carefully about her situation in the past few years, Sha Hua replied obediently, and after a while, the little girl sent the needle and thread and other things over, Sha Hua first begged Qi Ming to draw a pattern for her, leaned on the soft pillow and embroidered it, Qi Ming spread out the paper and pen, carefully looked at Sha Hua who was half-hanging his head to do needlework, and carefully put down the pen.
The brother and sister are doing their own thing, the study is quiet but warm, when the night falls, Sha Hua's purse is ready, Qi Ming's painting also falls to the last stroke, Sha Hua carefully examined, although Qi Ming's painting is a typical abstract freehand school in ancient times, but her face is very similar, Ning He's slightly indifferent demeanor is even more like a ten.
Sha Hua didn't know much about painting, so he only smiled, "The true image painted by Brother Qi can be seen at a glance that it is me."
Qi Ming nodded her forehead with a smile, and Sha Hua smiled and handed over the purse he had made, "Brother Seventh to see if it suits your heart, I'll redo it if it doesn't suit."
The purse is gourd-shaped, embroidered with two goldfish with bright red tails, vivid, "Shahua's female red is much better."
Qi Ming said that he was about to tie the purse to his waist, and Sha Hua snatched it back, "In the past few years, I have done needlework if I have nothing to do, and if I do more, it will be fine, you go wash your hands first, I have some mint grass there, and I will put some on it."
She said and took the purse back to the east compartment, Qi Ming smiled, carefully dried the painting, put it away, and then ordered to fetch water and wash his hands, and ordered the meal to be served.
After the brother and sister finished eating, Sha Hua solemnly tied the purse to Qi Ming with his own hands, "Recently, the capital has not been peaceful, I put a peace charm in it, Seventh Brother wear it well, don't lose it."
Qi Ming snorted, Sha Hua tightened it carefully, raised her head and smiled at him, she was already born delicate and beautiful, and she has grown up in the past few years, such a smile is like a blooming peony, the country is full of color, and even the dim candle flame seems to be bright.
Qi Ming avoided his eyes slightly, Sha Hua reached out and pressed the hem of his robe, and said with some regret, "If the seventh brother is willing to change into azure or moon-white clothes, he will definitely be more handsome, this dark color has been worn for more than twenty years, are you tired?" β
Qi Ming smiled, "As long as a man is not rude to others, how can there be someone like your daughter?" β
The brother and sister talked a few more words, Qi Ming looked at it and said, "It's not early, go to sleep?" β
Sha Hua nodded, took a bath and lay down on the bed, just after lying down, Qi Ming came in again, Sha Hua hurriedly sat up, "Seventh brother, is there anything else?" β
"It's okay, I'll see if you're sleeping soundly."
Sha Hua glanced at him silently, "I just lay down."
What sleep is peaceful, Qi Ming, your brain? She didn't just put it in her purse, did she?
Qi Ming coughed embarrassedly, sat down on the edge of the bed and held her hand, "It may be a little noisy tonight, I have arranged it, it is safe here, don't be afraid."
Sha Hua nodded, Qi Ming looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, turned around and left, not wanting to hear a soft exclamation from behind him as soon as he took a step, he hurriedly turned back to look, but Sha Hua had already quickly put on his clothes, but between the lightning and flint, he still saw the bright red sand on her snow-white arm.
"What's wrong?"
Sha Hua stumbled a little panicked, "I don't know, it seems that something on Brother Qi's body is holding my sleeve."
Qi Ming lowered his head, but he didn't find anything abnormal, he didn't bother with these details, he pondered for a while and then returned to the edge of the bed and sat down, but his eyes involuntarily fell on Sha Hua's snow-white middle coat, her clothes here were all prepared by him according to her fifteen years old, I don't want four years to pass, she actually grew taller again, the original preparation was naturally not needed, and the re-preparation in a hurry did not fit, and it was loosely put on her, thinking that it was his cufflinks that hung her sleeves just now, and as soon as she moved, she tore off her loose middle coat off her shoulders, Revealing that sand of the palace, well, there are othersβ
The more delicate and snow-white color lined by the blue color of the sky flashed in his mind, Qi Ming's ears suddenly warmed up, and he hurriedly avoided his eyes, this heat came fast and surging, which made his brain also hot, and blurted out, "Sha Hua, if Wu Laohu comes to pick you up, are you willing to go with him?" β
Sha Hua bit his lip and glanced at him, then lowered his head, Qi Ming's lips were pursed, as if he regretted what he had just said, but in the end, he still pinched Sha Hua's shoulder and said seriously, "Sha Hua, my brother is powerful enough now-"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
A month later, Sha Hua, who was meditating with his eyes closed, heard a faint sound from the ground, and hurriedly picked up the book on the bed and read it, about a quarter of an hour later, the floor tiles next to the screen moved, seeing that the floor tiles kept shaking, Sha Hua was very impulsive to step on it and then move the screen over and press it, however, she still didn't move, holding the book and watching.
After a while, the floor tile was lifted, and a young man in his early twenties jumped out, saluted her, and knelt down to pull out a man in a straight azure coat, and Shahua looked him up and down, and laughed out loud.
Qi Ming swept the hem of his clothes in embarrassment, and the young man covered the floor tiles and got out of the window.
Qi Ming coughed, trying to tense his face, "What are you reading?" β
Sha Hua closed the book, got out of bed and approached Qi Ming with his shoes on, reached out and straightened his collar, covered his mouth and smiled, "My brother is really still handsome in azure."
"Nonsense! What do men want to be handsome? Qi Ming coughed majestically, "Are you still used to living here?" β
"I'm the same everywhere".
"I've wronged you, I've already arranged it, you can go back with me now, but I may have to wronged you to stay incognito for a few years."
"It's okay," Sha Hua affectionately grabbed his arm, "In a few years, my brother will make me the eldest princess, and I will be allowed not to marry."
Qi Ming smiled, "How can my daughter's family not get married, it's really a child's talk."
Sha Hua smiled, "By the way, that night I vaguely saw that the direction of the Anjun Mansion was on fire, which one is it?" β
Qi Ming's arm stiffened slightly, "You don't have to worry about this, clean it up and go back to the house with me."
Sha Hua picked up the box from the bedside, "There's nothing to pack, let's go."
Qi Ming glanced at the box in her hand and said with a smile, "What kind of treasure is in here, I see you everywhere."
Sha Hua glanced at him, "What do you care about your daughter's things?" β
Qi Ming petted her hair, "Okay, I don't care, but I want to tell you first, Wu Laohu now has a heavy army, and he is more powerful than before, you are not allowed to run around, he sees it, and the consequences are unimaginable."
"I said a month ago, I just want to accompany my brother in my life, and I don't want to go anywhere, my brother is so powerful now, I guess my sister-in-law doesn't dare to dislike me, and if my brother has a daughter in the future, I can also teach my niece to be red."
She said with a smile, her delicate little face was faint with a moving brilliance, as early as after making a marriage with Wu Laohu, Qi Ming noticed her difference, and she had doubts at first, but later found out that it should be this girl who knew that there was no way to return the relationship with Wu Laohu, so she simply broke the jar and broke it to reveal her true face, and since he promised not to send her back to Wu Laohu a month ago, she actually glowed like a pearl to the dust, not only her words were lively and delicate, but even her appearance was more attractive, Like a budding peerless peony angrily released, the appearance of the city.
With such a complexion, even if Qi Ming is her brother, she can't look directly, and slightly avoids her gaze, "Let's go."
Like the previous life, the emperor died by self-immolation, Qi Ming and Wu Laohu supported the emperor's youngest son as the emperor, Qi Ming as the regent, and Wu Laohu as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses in the world of Dingguo Gong, and Qi Ming also moved from the Anjun palace to the current regent palace.
The regent palace was originally home to a very favored princess, and in this turmoil, the royal family was gone, including the princess, Qi Ming ordered someone to repair it and make his own mansion, the front yard was where his advisers and guards lived, and the back house only lived in Sha Hua and Qi Ming.
Although Qi Ming lives in the main courtyard, he mostly lives in the study, while Sha Hua lives in the flower dock separated from the study, and he can go out and cross a small bridge to reach the study.
The world is undecided, Qi Ming is very busy every day, always going out before dawn, when he comes back, it is already dark for most of the day, sometimes even in the middle of the night, no matter how late he comes back, as long as he sees that the lights in Sha Hua's house are not extinguished, he will come in to see Sha Hua.
Once, when he came back in the early hours of the morning, the lights in the house had been extinguished, but he still stood outside the house for a long time, asked the maid who was keeping vigil a few words, and then left.
From then on, no matter how late he came back, Sawa would wait for him with the light on, and after he said it a few times, Sawah was unmoved, and he stopped talking.
Half a year passed like this, the weather gradually got colder, although Qi Ming still went out early and returned late, but it was no longer like before tossing until midnight, and even when it was almost dawn, the first snow fluttered down on this day, Qi Ming obviously rushed back before dark.
Although Sha Hua had already eaten, he still accompanied Qi Ming to have another dinner, after eating, Sha Hua saw that he was tired and persuaded him to go back early to rest, but Qi Ming was unwilling, picked up a book and leaned on the soft collapse in her room to read, and fell asleep after a while.
Sha Hua waved away the maid, gently took away the book he was holding tightly, and covered him with the quilt, he was tired during this time, his eyes were blue and black, and his brows were wrinkled tightly in his sleep, but he did not have the usual gloomy atmosphere, which made people feel pity involuntarily.
Sha Hua leaned over to smooth his frowning brows, and when he straightened his waist, he couldn't bear to calm down just now, I don't know who said that you can't test people, especially the people you love, but in the last life, the original owner was too cowardly to pursue the truth, in this life, even if the situation is completely different, as long as the original owner wants, she will still try her best to verify.
She pressed her heart, the emotions surging in it made her frown uncomfortably, the original owner's last wish was very clear, she didn't want to be at the mercy of Qi Ming anymore, but she was very attached to Qi Ming, I was afraid that compared to the real situation, her feelings for her son were not as good as Qi Ming.
After Sha Hua began to doubt Wu Laohu, her inexplicable emotions and intuition told her that she would only be satisfied if she pursued the answer.
Answerββ
Sha Hua silently looked at Qi Ming with a serene face, could it be that what the original owner hated most was not that Qi Ming had put her in such a miserable situation, but that he hated him for not loving her sister enough?
Qi Ming slept very sweetly this night, and when he woke up, he saw Sha Hua sitting next to him looking at a medical book by the light of the glass lamp, he moved, and Sha Hua raised his eyes and looked over, the dark eyes under the thick eyelashes were brighter than the glass lamp, "Brother is awake, I'll pour a glass of water."
She poured a glass of water from the kettle on the table that was warmed by the fire, tested the temperature with her hands, and then handed it to Qi Ming, who sat up, and went to get a big pillow to cushion Qi Ming's back, Qi Ming leaned back, drank sip water to moisten his throat, and then asked, "What time is it?" β
"It's almost time, my brother sleeps well."
Qi Ming covered his lips and coughed, "It's not early, you're so resting, I'll go back."
Sha Hua held him down, "Brother, I have something I want to ask you."
Qi Ming snorted, Sha Hua took the teacup in his hand and put it on the table, sat down on the brocade stool and looked up at him, "Brother, what about sister-in-law and Zeze?" It's been half a year, why haven't you picked them up yet? β
"You have a special status now, and the more people who know it, the more dangerous it is."
Qi Ming had told her this sentence a long time ago, and Sha Hua looked at him and hesitated, "But, I heard todayβ"
"What did you hear?" Qi Ming remained silent, but his narrowed eyes were already filled with murderous intent.
"I heard that the Anjun Royal Mansion is gone, all the fires are burning, no one escapes, all of them are dead-"
Sha Hua said and covered her face and broke down and cried, "Sister-in-law, Zeze, and grandmother, they are all gone, they are all dead!" β
Qi Ming was silent, holding her swaying shoulders with one hand, stroking her back with the other, and coaxed softly, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's good to pass......"
The next day, Sha Hua proposed to go to the Anjun Palace, and then go to pay respects to her relatives, but Qi Ming did not allow it, only saying that it was inconvenient for her to go out now, and she would wait for the limelight to pass.
Sha Hua knew that he was extremely jealous of Wu Laohu, otherwise he would not dig a tunnel to take himself from that small courtyard to the Regent's Mansion, the door of the back house was guarded very tightly, and there were even fewer maids and women who were waiting, and he didn't even allow her to call him Seventh Brother again, for fear of making a mistake.
Seeing that he resolutely refused to allow it, Sha Hua didn't say anything more, and soon the New Year came, the brother and sister had a reunion dinner together, Qi Ming was very happy, Sha Hua was also in a good mood, and the brother and sister also had a few drinks.
After eating the reunion dinner, Qi Ming ordered the little guy to set off fireworks, under the fireworks in the sky, Qi Ming looked up at the beautiful flowers in the air, the gentle smile was not a little gloomy and gloomy on weekdays, it was as gorgeous and bright as fireworks, Sha Hua turned his face sideways and smiled slightly, and took his right hand hanging in his sleeve.
Qi Ming lowered his head to look at her, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more gentle, he stretched out his left hand to tighten her collar, and touched her blushing face again, "Is it cold?" β
Before Qi Ming's words fell, the sound of thunderous shouts overhead, overhead, overwhelmed the fireworks and firecrackers, "Qi Ming! β
Qi Ming suddenly changed color and pulled Sha Hua back two steps, and at the same time wrapped her tightly in his arms with a big coat, "Someone!" (To be continued.) )
