Chapter 31: The Last Night of the First Life (2)
Qiu He lifted the brocade curtain at this time, looked at her with strange eyes and said, "Aunt Chu family, Master Hou asked you to come in for questioning." ”
In the center of Qin Xiyue's bedroom stood a man with a good appearance, not daring to look closely, Yu Qiao walked in front of him, lowered his head, touched the ground with his knees, and knelt down to salute.
Zhenyuan Hou frowned lightly and lowered his eyes to look at the woman in front of him. Because of the low eyebrows and hanging her head, she could only see the top of her head, and her hair was yellow, and there were spots of hoarfrost, and she simply pulled a bun, although she didn't have any headdress, but she was neatly combed and not messy.
"Why is there any noise outside?" He said in a deep voice, "You can get up and talk back!" ”
Yu Qiao slowly got up according to the instructions, raised his head slightly and lowered his head, the majestic man in front of him, his face was cold and hard, his eyebrows were as thick as ink, and his eyes were as bright as cold stars. Wearing only a silk robe with a blue pigmented face, and wearing a piece of crisp and crystal cloud pattern jade around his waist, standing at will, his physique is still tall and mighty, and his momentum is extraordinary.
"You're here!" Seeing this woman's face clearly, he was a little distracted, and he stopped talking about it, not daring to confirm the speculation that passed by in his heart.
Yu Qiao knew that the person in front of him was noble, and he was Qin Xiyue's favorite.
If she told the truth, she would be hated by Qin Xiyue in every way, and she didn't know what tricks she would do to damage her, so she bit her lip and hesitated.
This Zhenyuan Marquis was as careful as a hair, looking at her appearance of daring to be angry and not daring to speak, he knew it in his heart at the moment, and looked back and said: "Qin Xiyue, you come!" ”
Qiu Hezheng's fingertips were hot, and he twisted a foreign towel in the hot water of the copper basin, waiting for Qin Xiyue to wash.
She leaned lazily in front of the moon cave door on the edge of the shelf bed, her temples were loosely held, her red embroidered shirt was not tied with tape, and her blue satin bandeau was faintly visible, making her look more and more white like snow.
Seeing that Hou Ye's face was not gloomy, she was not annoyed, her eyes were slightly watery, and she chuckled: "Fang Cai Xiyue has been accompanying Hou Ye in the room, and her body is tired at this time, what do you want me to say?" ”
"Cherish the moon!" Zhenyuan Hou's tiger eyes moved slightly, and the warning was strong.
"Alright!" Qin Xiyue sat up straight, threw the scarf back to Qiuhe, raised her hand to stroke her sideburns, squinted at Yuqiao and said: "This is my stove room boiling water mother-in-law, what grievances do you have, the Hou Ye wants to make the decision for you today!" ”
What she said was neither light nor serious, neither fast nor slow, but when she heard it, Yuqiao's throat tightened, and her heart was like a boulder.
"Don't panic, just tell me in detail!" Marquis Zhenyuan retracted his gaze and looked at her, gently encouraging her.
Yu moved her lips and smiled bitterly, how many days can her body, which has run out of oil, last? It's all here, why are you afraid of this Qin Xiyue?
Immediately, he said slowly: "The slave and maid said that they would pay it back today because they were out on credit." Master Qin also promised a few days ago that he would pay me the salary today! She no longer said that she would go down, and anyone with a discerning eye could understand.
"Qin Xiyue, is there such a thing?" The Marquis of Zhenyuan was still staring at Yuqiao's haggard and withered face, and his voice was not angry but threatening.
Qin Xiyue put on her jacket, got off the bed with her shoes in only a pair of rouge pants, walked to the mahogany carved square table and sat down, looked at Yuqiao, and then looked at Qiu He, and said lightly: "Qiu He, did I ever say that I wouldn't give my salary to this fire-burning woman?" ”
Qiu He hurriedly smiled: "It's the slave maid who remembered wrongly, the girl also instructed in the morning, I know that Aunt Chu is in urgent need of money!" ”
"Why don't you go get it? One day, the Hou Ye is so anxious to cherish the moon and has a white face, so he will not come in vain in this life! Qin Xiyue said jokes in a coquettish voice, as if complaining, but in fact, she was very affectionate.
Yu Qiao tugged at the corners of her lips, lowered her eyebrows, and swallowed a touch of bitterness.
"Aunt Chu?" Zhenyuan Marquis didn't know Qin Xiyue's tricks, but he had no intention of thinking about it, at this time, his heart was sharpening these three words back and forth, and then measuring her carefully, which reminded him of the second girl who was shy of flowers in the Chu family in Yanjing City more than ten years ago.
Back then, Chu Yuqiao, the second girl of the Chu Taifu family, was raised in the boudoir with fine clothes and food, and was even more famous in the capital because of her unparalleled beauty and talent.
He wanted to ask something, but before he could speak, Qin Xiyue had already asked Qiu He to take some broken silver and handed it to Yu Qiao.
Yuqiao took it, then he felt at ease, thanked the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and returned to Qin Xiyue and thanked him.
Qin Xiyue was eating tea, biting on osmanthus cake, and didn't look at her. However, Yuqiao inadvertently saw that there were four layers of silver-red rich pattern cluster flower food box on the table, which was a special box for Yanjing's first-class Xiangfu food shop, whether it was pastry or lo-mei, the taste was excellent.
When Yuqiao was in the boudoir, she was tired of eating, but it was not very good, but now, her throat moved, swallowed her saliva, and she suddenly felt hungry in her unfinished belly.
Hurriedly turned her eyes, but inadvertently met the Hou Ye because of the sympathetic eyes, her face instantly became a little hot with shame, and she lowered her head and lifted the curtain out.
The stars and moon are vast, and the twilight is heavy.
The air was dry and cold, wantonly hitting Yuqiao's body with only a thin jacket, and she carried two buckets in one hand, colliding with each other with small steps, making a "clang" piercing sound, which sounded frightening and a little funny in such a silent night.
The Marquis of Zhenyuan followed behind her, looking at her although her clothes were ragged, she seemed to be able to vaguely glimpse that the lovely girl back then had a coquettish waist like a willow swaying, Rao is his golden iron horse, who has been on the battlefield for many years, and has already practiced a calm temperament that is not alarmed, but at this time, the heart seems to have been beaten hard, and the contraction is swollen and painful.
Yu Qiao stopped suddenly, she tilted her head slightly, squinted her eyes and looked closely, it seemed that there was a person in black who passed by from the pavilion, and his body was as light as a swallow.
Are you dazzled? was suspicious, but he heard the man's pure and hoarse voice behind him: "Please stay with the person in front!" ”
turned around, but it was the Hou Ye in Qin Xiyue's room, Yuqiao hurriedly put down the bucket, and one of them accidentally tilted and overturned, she couldn't help it, and she stepped forward to bow and kneel.
"No need to be polite!" Marquis Zhenyuan hurriedly stopped her, but he didn't know what to call her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Do you remember me?" Back then, I worked under the command of King Wu, your brother was under my control, and he was also from Yanjing, and he had a good relationship, and he always talked about you in gossip on weekdays, so Ben Hou had the honor to see you several times in the house. ”
What was not said was that he had asked the red media in the city to propose marriage without his means, but he was politely refused. At that time, he was still just a military general, and he was a small official, so how could he climb high with this second girl of the Chu family.
Only then did Yu Qiao suddenly remember that this person had indeed seen it.
He followed his brother to the house a few times. Yamato's national style is more open, and the difference between men and women is not strict, and he has not yet married in the past, so it is convenient for him to occasionally take pictures and salute at home.
I especially remember that he also sent someone to the door to propose his relatives.
Seeing that she seemed to have an impression, Marquis Zhenyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with concern: "I wonder if your father and brother are okay?" How did you end up in this bitter cold place? ”
