Chapter 240: Wake Up!!

PS: If you have a monthly pass, let's get one! Put it in the bowl and put it in the pot, wahaha.

Pass it first and then correct the typo. Touch the big, cute girls.

------Off topic------

"Ah Qi, child...... We don't want it, do we? ”

He was silent for a long time, Xia Chuqi pulled the corner of his clothes again, and he whispered, as if it was difficult to speak, and held her in his arms, like coaxing a child, first put her in the most comfortable position, and then whispered.

"Zhao Nineteen, are you unhappy?"

Speaking of this, she glanced at Zhao Zhu's cold face, and suddenly found that he looked strange and something was wrong. With an eyebrow raised, she stopped what she was about to say and asked him instead.

"It's almost eight months old, and the due date is getting closer. Zhao Shijiu, I'm still thinking today, when you come and tell you, it's time to prepare, Wen Po or something, you have to ......"

Zhao Zhu didn't answer, she said to herself.

The corners of Xia Chuqi's lips turned up, and he took his hand with a smile and slowly covered his lower abdomen, "I was very well-behaved a few days ago, but when Erbao and Meizi were making trouble today, he also had a good time, kicked me several times, and almost made me breathless." I feel like we're a little irritable......"

"Our children are still good these days? Does it bother you? ”

Zhao Zhu frowned, hesitated, and shook his head.

"Zhao Nineteen, do you have something to tell me?"

Xia Chuqi was suffocated in his heart, almost subconsciously associating his reaction with Dao Chang's words, and his mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

He stopped talking, his voice hoarse.

"Ah Qi ......"

In normal times, if she said such a playful word, Zhao Zhu would definitely have to refute her, or laugh at her again. But this time, he didn't say anything, only took a thick palm and gently followed her back, was silent for a while, and didn't know what he thought, so he suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"I'm just trying to see when you find out."

"Then why are you ......?" he wondered.

"I wasn't asleep at all."

Xiao Bie met again after that, looking at each other, Xia Chuqi had a belly of anger in his heart, but when he saw the tiredness and astringency in his eyes, he couldn't help but soften.

"Woke you up?"

He chuckled and stroked her face.

He looked down and crashed into a pair of dark and shining eyes. She pursed her lips tightly and did not speak, but there was a clear anger in the depths of her eyes.

Out of nowhere, a small, white hand tugged at his sleeve.

He was stunned, and his thoughts drifted away.

If the years are quiet, how good it would be for him to come safely.

In her belly, their child is slowly growing, her belly is getting bigger day by day, the high and convex arc, soft, warm, motherly, is the most beautiful arc in the world. Although she was asleep, but on her stomach, there was still an occasional bulge of Xiao Nineteen's fist, just looking at it like this, he could also expect that this little thing should also be a ruffian, maybe like her, maybe like him, maybe like the two of them.

Her body for nearly eight months was bloated and plump, but the look on her face was as calm and quiet as a child.

He sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her with heavy eyes.

Standing quietly for a long time, Zhao Tuo put down the book, sighed, bent down to pick up the sleeping woman, and put it back on the bed with a soft mattress.

The fire in the room was full of light, and the dim light added shadows to the ornaments in the room. The atmosphere was silently depressed, and a wind blowing from nowhere, licking the faint tongue of fire, flashed a chilly halo.

Turning the page one by one, there are so many "unique" shocking remarks that she annotated, so many that Zhao Zhu's originally calm and waveless face sank slightly, but he didn't smile, and his eyebrows seemed to be stained with a layer of complicated and difficult to relieve wind and frost.

"If a woman lives to this point, she might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes."

Next to this line, there is also her mark.

He flipped through it, and there was another line of "The Female Commandment" that read, "Weakness comes first." The ancients gave birth to a daughter for three days, lay under the bed, made bricks, and fasted. Lying under the bed, it is clear that he is weak, and the people under the Lord are also ......"

"You said: Nuwa made up the sky, and Hou Yi came to shoot the sun. The women have all been mended, and they have been shot by men again, and it is the men who should cultivate virtue. Go and go, go back and write a book of "Male Commandments", so that men all over the world can compete to learn it! ”

Next to this line, there is a row of small characters that are clearly poorly written, written by her with a small homemade goose feather pen.

It was a book of Ban Zhao's "Female Commandments", and there was a line that read, "Women's virtues do not have to be distinct; Women's words do not need to be argued; Women's appearance does not have to be beautiful in color; Women's skills don't have to be skillful. Idleness and chastity, neatness and orderliness, shame in one's own actions, and law in movement are women's virtues. ”

He walked over gently, put the thin blanket over her, picked up the book on the floor, and glanced at it casually, his expression suddenly tightened.

When Zhao Zhu came, Xia Chuqi was leaning on the beauty couch by the window, his head tilted to the side, and the book he was reading in his hand also slipped to the ground.

The night is deeper, but the passage under the bed to connect with love has not moved. The more I think about it, the faster I think, the more I panic, the more I panic. In a trance, she thought wildly and closed her eyes slightly.

But why hasn't Zhao 19 shown up yet?

Truly...... It's time for production.

Counting the days, it's almost eight months.

Today, Xiao Nineteen was extremely restless in her stomach, and her heart was also worried with him. Normally, she would find it fun and interesting to listen to Meizi and Zheng Erbao arguing, but at this time, she felt flustered and short-breathed.

"Stop, stop!" Xia Chuqi rolled his eyes, he really couldn't stand the noise, "Whoever makes any more noise, throw it over to feed the big horses and ponies!" ”

"Miss's side is mine, don't take your hands here."

"Miss's side is mine, don't take your hand here."

The two of you glared at me, I glared at you, looked at each other for a moment, and then snorted at the same time and walked away, sandwiching the left and right of Xia Chuqiyi in the middle, smooth the back of the back, and the shoulder of the shoulder, but the mouth still did not forget to compete for favor.

"It's clear that you're learning from me!"

"You learn to talk to me?"

"You go away!"

"You go away."

"Why are you stealing my place?"

"Why are you stealing my place?"

Several people called out in unison and came to help her. But she sat on the chair, the position in front of her was limited, Qinglan saw this and stood on the side, but Meizi and Zheng Erbao squeezed around, arguing, and muttered quietly.

"Miss Seven!"

"Miss Seven!"

Xia Chuqi haha, the pretended anger couldn't go on, and the laughter was stuck in his throat, he couldn't go up, he couldn't go down, and his expression was extremely distorted. At this time, Xiao Nineteen was also made happy by Huobao, and raised his foot and kicked her stomach, so uncomfortable that her belly twitched, and she sat back with her belly.

Listening to her take out Xia Chuqi's lines and use them, Erbao's father-in-law glanced at her, and he also pouted, and said aggrievedly, "I'm just angry that you treat others better than me." I look like a flower like a jade, like a heavenly immortal, Sai Xi Shi chasing a sable cicada to beat Zhaojun and slaughtering the jade ring, why is it better to make you feel distressed by other people? ”

I couldn't tell if she was really angry or fake, Meizi's mouth was slightly open, and she lowered her eyes and pretended to be innocent, "I'm just angry that you treat others better than me." I look like a flower like a jade, like a heavenly immortal, Sai Xi Shi chasing a sable cicada to beat Zhaojun and slaughtering the jade ring, why is it better to make you feel distressed by other people? ”

"Whoever dares to play a temper with me in the future, I'll pinch him to deathβ€”"

After saying that, the two of them were stunned, and their faces sank again.

"Dare to talk back!"

Erbao's father-in-law and Meizi each deviated from the beginning and did not admit it. Xia Chuqi snorted in his nose, slapped the table coldly, stood up with a big belly, and feigned anger.

"Not really."

"Nope."

It turns out that you're jealous again? Xia Chuqi rubbed his nose angrily and funny by these living treasures, "How did I find out that you are all used to having problems with me?" The little temper is worse than the other, and it is bigger than me. ”

Erbao's father-in-law snorted, pursed his lips aggrievedly, and complained in his unique voice, "Anyone who marries will have a dowry, and those like our family can't get married, can't they cough a few times?" ”

"What, you're not feeling well?"

Xia Chuqi looked back at him and was slightly stunned.

Before she finished speaking, Zheng Erbao's father-in-law suddenly laughed and coughed.

"Ahem, hehe, ahem, hehe......"

"Go, there's nothing left, I've got money." Xia Chuqi rolled his eyes, and looked a little proud, "With money, are you afraid that there are no good things?" It's not to brag, but now in this Jingshi City, it is estimated that there is no richer person than Miss Ben. Hey hey ......"

"You've given away all your things, where will you give me anything in the future?"

Meizi frowned, a little aggrieved.

Meizi pursed her lips and hung her head silently. Xia Chuqi smiled helplessly and teased her, "Don't worry, when you get married, Miss Ben will definitely prepare a more generous dowry for you." ”

Her sour voice made Xia Chuqi cry and laugh, and glanced sideways at her, "I gave you less?" ”

"Such a good thing, Miss Seven gave it away."

Seeing this, Meizi had already pursed her lips.

Xia Chuqi understood her, didn't say much, took her hand and exchanged a few words with her, and then asked Qinglan to lead her back to the house with cloth and a few jewelry.

It's easy to get by, but it's hard to heal.

These days, Xia Chuqi rarely goes out of the attic of Chuci Courtyard because of pregnancy, and he hasn't seen Xia Chang much, but Xia Chang often comes to see Gillian. It's just that Gu Ajiao, who used to treat Xia Chang wholeheartedly, seems to have an extra layer of estrangement in the relationship with Xia Chang since she was violated by Xia Yan, and she treats him politely but alienated, and she can't open her heart anymore. As long as Xia Chang comes over, Gu Ajiao will avoid him.

"Nothing."

Gu Ajiao's face turned pale, and her head was buried lower, as if she was embarrassed.

Seeing that she thanked her, she half-hung her head and stopped talking, Xia Chuqi was stunned for a moment, and squeezed her eyebrows again, "Why are you unhappy?" Did I provoke you, or did my eldest brother provoke you? ”

"Chu Qi, thank you. You've got a heart. ”

As soon as her words fell, the brightness of Gu Ajiao's eyes darkened.

It's clear that she is sincere in giving things away, but Xia Chuqi is from modern times, and she doesn't like to say things too hypocritically, and she doesn't want people to feel that she owes her a favor, so she said "I don't like the color, I don't like to wear it", but she has a big personality, but she doesn't know that for a delicate woman, especially Gu Ajiao, a woman who is extremely beautiful but has no good clothes to wear, her heart is not necessarily a good taste.

"What's wrong?" Xia Chuqi stared at her eyes, and smiled so that his long round cheeks became more fleshy, "You don't have to be grateful to me, just make a promise?" Hehe, those fabrics are not the color I like, and I don't like to wear them, so I put them in and give them to you, it's just a favor. ”

"Chu Qi......" Gu Ajiao's eyes were slightly hot, and her mouth moved.

"You take it back and make a few clothes, such a beautiful person, such a pretty age, if you don't wear a pretty one, it's really outrageous."

After saying that, she turned around and looked at Gu Ajiao.

"That'll be fine." Xia Chuqi smiled, patted her hands, once again swept her old clothes, and looked back at Qinglan who was standing on the side, "Lover, go and take out a few light soft cloths in the warehouse." ”

But Gu Ajiao didn't seem to notice it, she smiled and shook her head, "Chu Qi, there are many icing on the cake, and there is nothing in the snow." In such a helpless moment for me, except for you who dared to take me in, although I didn't know a few words, I remembered your love in my heart. You don't let me go now, it's also to protect me, how can I complain? ”

When she opened her eyes and said nonsense, she felt a little guilty.

"Gillian, we are old friends who met when we were in Qinggang, and I know how good you are to me. I also know how much you miss Daddy Gu. I know if I should detain you here, but the outside world is tight, and the relationship between Beidi and Nanyan is frozen again, I am afraid that if you go out of Chuci Academy, you will be pushed out as a target, so I will keep you down, do you have any grievances against me? ”

Xia Chuqi smiled, shook his head, shook her hand and sat down, slowed down his voice, and said slightly apologetically.

Gu Ajiao looked at her slightly furrowed eyebrows, brushed the hair hanging down from her ears uncomfortably, and said in a low voice: "Recently, the sun has been big, and the night is hot, these cicadas are strange and annoying, I am afraid that they will affect your rest, so I stick it in the yard all day long, and it doesn't disturb you." ”

Xia Chuqi shook his head and looked her up and down.

"Chu Qi, your face is a little pale, are you uncomfortable?"

Gu Ajiao turned her head, as if she had just seen her, a smile was pulled away from the corner of her lips, she leaned the long bamboo pole against the wall, and went to clean her hand before entering the house and walking to her side.

"Gillian."

She was secretly scolding Xia Yan, and Gu Ajiao's curvy figure was about to walk over. With a slight frown, she raised her hand and called her.

Gillian is really good-looking, from a man's aesthetic point of view, she should be more charming than any girl in her yard, right? It's a pity that a good cabbage was arched by a pig.

Xia Chuqi touched his chin and groaned.

Among the flowers, the black cat jumped over, but out of a delicate woman with a long bamboo pole in her hand, she had a pink hibiscus hairpin on the tip of her hair, did not wear any valuable hairpin rings, and a hibiscus dress was washed old, but her soft and charming complexion was not worn out at all.

She pushed open the window and looked over, only to see a plump big black cat jumping down from the locust tree, jumping in a few vertical steps, rushing directly into the flowers under the night, and disappeared.

The cat's bark pulled her mind back.

"Meow ......"

It was another sunny day, and it was already night, and the cicadas in the yard were still chirping happily, making her irritable and unable to calm down. What's even more upsetting is that today is July 19, and Zhao Zhu hasn't been here for 12 days, and I don't know if he will come tonight. As soon as he connected his "lost contact" with Dao Chang's words, she was slightly confused.

With a big belly, she walked around the house.

Could it be that there is really a mystery in her crossing, or that her soul reincarnation is here, a paradoxical existence, which has seriously affected the order of the universe, and even the heavens can't tolerate her?

It's not aside, it's just because it's exactly the same as the hexagram that she took for her before she crossed over, and it has to be terrifying.

From the beginning of his acquaintance, his impression in Xia Chuqi's heart was that he was a "charlatan" who used a kind appearance to cover up and work for Zhao Shijiu in private. But his sentence "Reincarnated peach blossoms, the phoenix's life is difficult to continue" shocked her.

She didn't quite believe in the great monk.

Since the departure of the monk Changda, Xia Chuqi has been restless. The "philosophical Zen words" he left behind, plus the words that made her realize herself, made her confused and uneasy.

~

Zhao Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, "Second Brother Xie." ”

"Nineteenth brother." Zhao thought of the missing family property, smiled, and said suddenly, "Brother Wei has been bored recently, and he has planted a lot of melons and fruits in the courtyard, do you see there?" The cucumbers from the climbing frame are ready to eat, and you take some back. ”

After half a cup of tea, Zhao Gou sent the complacent Zhao Bottle to the back door and left the house. In the quiet backyard, there are melons, fruits and vegetables planted by Zhao Gou at home these days, and under the dim lights, you can still see a lush greenery, which is even more delicate and mouth-watering after dyeing the night dew.

Zhao Zun smiled, "Compared to the country, it's just a small amount of money." ”

"So much?"

If you want soldiers and money, you have to have rational numbers, this kind of style is very in line with Zhao Zhu's usual temperament, but Zhao Gou saw the value drawn by his lion's big mouth, and his face was a little dark.

The corners of Zhao Zhu's lips pursed slightly, and he smiled slowly, "Silver." ”

Zhao Gou was slightly stunned, "What?" ”

"There is one more thing that has Second Brother Lao."

After Zhao Zhu shook his hand slightly, he suddenly stretched out his hand.

Zhao Gou hesitated, "Okay." ”

Seeing that he was holding the bottom, Zhao Zhu smiled lightly, "Enough." ”

"There are only 50,000 people under my hands......"

Zhao Gou looked down, only to see that in Zhao Zhu's seemingly unintentional fiddling, there was already an extra word in the middle of the chessboard that was laid out with a sunspot - Bing.

With that, he pointed to the chessboard again.

"Thank you for your understanding." Zhao Jun replied lightly, and there seemed to be a streamer in his eyes. "Don't wait for me at the moment, the second brother also knows the situation, not only do the powerful people in the DPRK and China need to deal with many places, even if it is on the rivers and lakes, it is not even necessary to turn over, if the second brother has a heart, he can give me something."

Aiming at him, Zhao Gou thought about it, the light in his eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly said, "It's just that there is no merit, the nineteenth brother treats the second brother so well, how can the second brother stand by and watch?" If the nineteenth brother has any requirements, just ask. ”

Zhao Tsun smiled but did not speak.

Seemingly smiling helplessly, he took the teacup, took a sip, and shook his head again, "The beauty is forgetting the country, and the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass!" Alas, after so many years, you still haven't changed. For my brother, I see it in my eyes, and I feel sad for you. ”

He was even more satisfied with the answer.

Such an answer was not surprising to Zhao Gou.

"A woman."

Zhao Jun smiled lightly.

"Old Nineteen, what are you trying to do?"

It's just that since ancient times, the nature of the left and right sides is the same. If he is determined to do it, why don't he plan for himself first, but come to him? After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Gou calmed down slightly, and his eyes fell on Zhao Zhuyun's breezy face.

The Great Yan Dynasty is a long and long-standing heir, and Zhao Gou naturally knows that if he wants to ascend to that supreme position without being criticized, he is more suitable than Zhao Zhu. Zhao Zhu is just a concubine, even if he has the talent to govern the country, he is not rightly named, and if he wins the world, he will be left behind for eternity.

"For the younger brother, I know the second brother's care. But the second brother can't trust others, so he must be able to trust me. Of course, the second brother doesn't have to worry too much about other things, and he only needs to climb high and shout at that time. ”

"If you don't get together, you're already together. Otherwise, the second brother thinks that there are so many forbidden army guards in the Jin Palace, how can the younger brother come here to play chess and drink tea with the second brother? Seeing that Zhao Gou was silent, and seemed to hesitate, Zhao Tuo glanced at the chess game, took the teacup, swept his eyes, and swept out a circle of cold owl light.

Zhao Gou's eyebrows narrowed, as if he remembered in a trance, and sighed, "No, old nineteen, don't fall into the sixth child's trap." He is Zhao Mianze's intimate person, and he is cunning and sexually suspicious, how can he easily be with you and me? ”

Zhao Jun just smiled and didn't answer.

"Sixth?"

Zhao Gou was slightly stunned and looked at his slightly curled fingers.

After a pause, his dark eyes stared deeply at Zhao Gou, but his hand pointed to the words that Heizi placed on the chessboard, and said in a solemn voice, "Not only me, but also the brother next to me also admires the second brother very much, and I am willing to work with the younger brother, only the second brother is the first to look forward." ”

"Second brother is too worried." Zhao Zhu knew that he was still testing his thoughts, so he smiled, and said slowly, "After the death of Prince Yide, the second brother, you were originally orthodox, and even if I have a heart, it is for the second brother, not for me." ”

Glancing at Zhao Zhu's heavy eyes, he sighed, and said, "When my father and emperor died suddenly, Cui Yingda in the Qianqing Palace held the holy decree to help the new monarch ascend to the throne, and the old nineteenth you 'died' in Yinshan, for the isolation of your brother, even if you know that the holy decree may be suspicious, you can only watch the situation develop irreversibly." Now that the matter has come to this, even if the new monarch is unkind, he can't be unrighteous as a brother. The general trend of the world, if you are not fully sure, it is better for the nineteenth brother to be stable. ”

Zhao Tuo said a word, and Zhao Gou nodded understandingly, "Not bad." You and I are brothers, and we have intersected for several years, how can we not understand? If you are not forced to be cornered, who is willing to let go of leisure and wealth, sharpen your knife with blood, and risk your life? ”

In front of the wise, there is no need to say much.

"The second brother knows me best."

In Zhao Gou's words, it seems to be unintentional, but it is actually intentional, and it seems to be intentional, but in fact, it is "unintentional". To put it bluntly, in the final analysis, there is only one sentence - he has the heart and courage of a thief, but he lacks a little thief power.

After listening to his long words, Zhao Zhu smiled.

After being silent for a while, he stroked his beard and smiled, "My brother is from the Empress Dowager, and he is closely related to His Majesty today, even if there is some disagreement between his uncle and nephew, he is also his own person." After a pause, he sighed, "The new monarch succeeds to the throne, and in order to consolidate the country, it is inevitable to take more precautions." Because my brother is seriously ill and has no second thoughts, he will never embarrass me. He doesn't move, he doesn't lose, and I'm incompetent and powerless, so why don't I watch from the wall? But the nineteenth brother, you have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and you don't have to stoop to others and be subservient. ”

The seat was silent, and Zhao Gou was as stable as Mount Tai.

When you are not completely sure, there is no more suitable state of protection than recuperation. His second imperial brother, except that he was born a year later than Prince Yide and could not become the eldest son, in terms of wisdom, I don't know how much higher than the generous Prince Yide.

Ten years of sharpening a sword, a sword will pierce the heart.

But Zhao Zhu never saw it that way.

At the beginning of Zhao Mianze's succession to the unification, Zhao Gou, the king of Qin, as the second prince, sang against him for a while. At that time, everyone thought that he was a "yellow finch", hidden deep behind people, just waiting for the fatal blow in the counterattack. But who knows, after several times of open and secret fighting, under Zhao Mianze's intention, he has been defeated repeatedly, but he has no fighting spirit, and once again said that he was sick and shrunk in the palace of King Qin and no longer went out, and returned to his previous state of leisure, which is embarrassing.

"Second brother is an understanding person, it's a pity that ......" dragged the voice, Zhao Zhu bent his lips with a smile, put down the teacup, and stretched out a slender hand to the plate, as if unintentionally fiddling with the sunspots on the chess table, and laughed quietly in his mouth, "Sometimes it's too indecisive." You must know that although it is good to repay grievances with virtue, those who despise the enemy are unkind, and those who are light on righteousness are unkind. If you don't resist if you are forced to do so far, isn't it a thoughtless puppet? ”

Zhao Gou smiled and waved his hand, his eyebrows skimmed a touch of gloom, "It looks like it's just a game of chess, but my brother can know it, it's not a day's work." It seems to be a deep trap, but it turned things around in an instant, such a scheming, except for you in the world, there is no one else. ”

"Carving insect skills, the second brother is too good."

Zhao Bottle put down his chess and took the tea cup on the table.

What he said about death is not people, but chess. The person in the green robe with a sallow face is none other than Zhao Gou, the king of Qin, who has been "recuperating". He coughed, glanced up at Zhao Zhu's nonchalant expression, his fingers curled slightly, his fingertips knocked on the chess board, and said with a smile, "If Guan Gong doesn't open his eyes, he will kill people when he opens his eyes." Lao Nineteen is still so good at retreating as advance, and he can resist the enemy for thousands of miles in one go. ”

The person in black was Zhao Zhu, he pursed his lips tightly, picked up a sunspot from the chess cup, landed on the chess game in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Eat eight in a row, hold on to death!" ”

In the middle of the two people, there is a chess game.

On a purple copper incense burner on the bookcase, there was a faint curling smoke, and on the edge of a small carved lacquer, two people sat opposite each other. A tall figure, dressed in black, with cold eyebrows, graceful and lofty, handsome and extraordinary, not like a mundane thing in the world. A green robe on his body, with a simple face and thin eyebrows, like a person who has just recovered from a long-term illness, his skin is sallow and haggard.

In the sky under the moon, an old-style mansion located in the south of Jingshi City is dark, but the study is brightly lit.

There is a soft moonlight hanging in the sky, like wearing a dress as thin as light gauze for the capital city, and the sultry air of midsummer is a lot clearer after a long-lost thunderstorm, with a thin layer of rain smell, which is particularly refreshing.

The night was peaceful.
