Fuchu, the snow melts.

The snow on the roof flowed down and condensed into crystal sharp icicles under the eaves.

Occasionally, there was a crisp cracking sound.

Just out of the promenade.

Luo Qingzhou pulled Bai Ling to dodge a sudden attack by icicles.

Then he took her soft and delicate little hand and didn't let go.

Bai Ling struggled at first, pursed his lips and said, "Uncle, let go, it's not good for people to see it." ”

Luo Qingzhou ignored her and still pulled her forward.

In the night sky, the moon is bright.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling down, draping the two of them in a thin layer of moon-white clothes.

The temperature at night is still very low.

The two hands that were clasped together slowly warmed up.

Walked for a while.

Bai Ling struggled lightly again, and said softly: "Uncle, don't be like this, people are Miss's, not Uncle's." The young lady hasn't agreed to be her aunt's roommate. ”

Luo Qingzhou turned his head to look at her delicate face and said, "Isn't your young lady mine?" Even she's mine, and you're mine, aren't you? ”

Bai Ling immediately pouted and retorted: "No, my uncle is rich, I can only say that my uncle is Miss's, but I can't say that Miss is my uncle's." ”

Luo Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, then I'll go to my father-in-law later, saying that I thought about it carefully and thought it was better for the second lady." ”

The atmosphere fell silent.

It's been a long time.

Bai Lingfang said softly: "Uncle, it turns out that you understood it just now." ”

Luo Qingzhou's face was calm: "I'm not a fool. ”

Bai Ling looked at him with a puzzled expression and said, "That uncle...... The second lady is so good to her uncle, so gentle, and has similar interests with her uncle, what did her uncle ...... just now Refused? ”

Luo Qingzhou looked ahead, was silent for a moment, and suddenly stopped under a big tree, then turned around, hugged her gently, lowered his head and kissed her little mouth, picked up the hand held by the two, put it in front of her eyes, and said, "Understood?" ”

Bai Ling was stunned, his eyes looked at the hands held by the two of them, his expression was in a trance, his lips moved, and he stopped talking.

"Of course, there are other reasons."

Luo Qingzhou took her by the hand and continued to walk forward slowly, looking at the darkness in front of her and said, "The eldest lady just has a cold personality, and she doesn't treat me badly." I have worshiped her in the church, worshiped heaven and earth, and are already husband and wife. Even if she took the initiative to bring it up, I was a little reluctant in my heart. What's more, I'm not a cargo, so how can I let it go. If she divorces me directly, I won't have any opinion, but if she wants to give me away, then ......"

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Also, I think this will have too much impact on the reputation of the second lady." Of course, she doesn't care about that, but if she becomes my wife and people are always pointing fingers behind my back, I will be very uncomfortable. And...... The second lady is too weak, and I can't protect her now. I still have some things that I haven't done and will take some time. ”

Bai Ling was silent for a moment and said, "Uncle, there is actually a way to solve the problems you said. ”

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "What's the way?" ”

Bai Ling stopped, stared at him with burning eyes, and said, "When my uncle takes the high school exam next fall, he will have a reputation." When the time comes, you don't need to be divorced by the young lady, you can ...... directly Marry another one. In this way, you can avoid the family scandal of my sister snatching my sister's father-in-law, what does my uncle think? ”

Luo Qingzhou was stunned, and immediately reprimanded: "Nonsense." ”

After saying that, he continued to pull her forward and fell silent.

Bai Ling couldn't help but smile and peeked at him, and said, "Is my uncle thinking now, this girl Bai Ling is really empathetic and cute, how does she know that I think so?" Can you read my mind? I love this girl so much! Uncle, right, do you think so in your heart? ”

Luo Qingzhou: "......"

"If my uncle doesn't speak, he acquiesces to anthracene."

Bai Ling approached him with a grin, took the initiative to put his cheek on his arm for the first time, and said crisply: "Uncle, as long as you work hard, all the young ladies and maids of the Qin family in the future will be uncle's." Includes ......"

"You?"

Luo Qingzhou turned his head to look at her.

Bai Ling smiled: "Of course, including me, and ...... Chanchan. ”

Luo Qingzhou was slightly stunned, didn't speak again, and seemed to be in deep thought.

The two held hands and strolled through the Qin Mansion in the dark night.

Even if a maid sees it, it will stay away.

When he was about to arrive at Meixiang Garden, Bai Lingfang broke free and whispered: "Uncle, don't face me in front of Chanchan in the future." ”

Luo Qingzhou said: "Why? ”

Bai Ling said: "Chanchan is very lonely alone, I have to accompany her to be lonely." If my aunt gets too close to me, she will feel that I have abandoned her, and she will feel very uncomfortable. ”

Luo Qingzhou thought about the scene he saw in the flower garden in those two nights, was silent for a while, nodded, and agreed: "Okay." ”

Entered the Meixiang Garden.

The cold figure was still standing in the shadows under the eaves, not knowing if it was in a daze or thinking about something.

It was only after seeing them that her eyes were focused.

Bai Ling said in a low voice: "Uncle, I'll go in and call Miss." If you give something to Chanchan to eat, she must be hungry. ”

After saying that, he ran into the house.

Luo Qingzhou walked under the eaves, handed the chicken leg and snacks in his hand to the girl, and said, "Xia Chan, the one I brought to you should still be hot." ”

Xia Chan glanced at him coldly, then looked away, ignoring it.

Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but say, directly grabbed her little hand, stuffed something into her hand, and ordered, "Eat." ”

Xia Chan narrowed her eyes, and looked at him coldly again.

A chill came to Luo Qingzhou.

But he was not afraid, and made eye contact with her: "If you have the ability, you will draw your sword, kill the good uncle who once jumped into the water to save you, accompanied you under the bridge of wind and rain and lightning and thunder, helped you plant flowers in the flower garden on a cold night, and guarded you all night when you were sick and feverish!" ”

Xia Chan: "......"

Luo Qingzhou threatened: "If you don't eat it, the next time you fall into the water, I won't save you when it thunders." The next time you go to the flower garden to plant flowers, I won't accompany you when you get sick again. You go to Bailing to see if she is as gentle and considerate as your uncle. ”

Xia Chan turned around and snorted in her mouth, but her hand was already clenched what he had just stuffed into her.

"Eat it while it's hot, I'll go first."

After Luo Qingzhou finished explaining, he turned around and left, and said to the house: "Bailing, tell the eldest lady, I'll go back first." ”

The window of the study suddenly opened.

Bai Ling shouted from the window, "Uncle, aren't you waiting for us?" ”

Luo Qingzhou walked to the door, turned his head and said, "I still have to go back to study, you and Xia Chan accompany the eldest lady back." ”

After saying that, he walked away quickly.

Bai Ling looked at the door where his back disappeared, and was stunned for a moment, Fang closed the window, turned around and said, "Miss, that's what my uncle said just now." He said that he was reluctant to let you go, he didn't want to be divorced by you, even if you ignored him, he wanted to be married to you for the rest of his life. ”

Qin Pujia sat at the table, quietly looking at the poems on the rice paper, and was silent for a moment, before Fang spoke: "Doesn't he like micro-ink?" ”

Bai Ling thought for a while and said, "Uncle didn't say it, but depending on the situation, Uncle only seems to like it...... Chanchan. ”

A cold voice suddenly came from outside the window: "Obviously, it's you." ”

Under the light, Bai Ling's face turned red, and he muttered in a low voice, "It's not." ”

Luo Qingzhou returned to the small courtyard.

After flipping through the books about the Black Wood Forest monsters for a while, Fluttershy returns and explains, "Childe, the slave has gone to Sister Peach." ”

As she spoke, she took out something from behind her back and said with a smile: "Childe, look, this is what Sister Xiao Tao saw in the Golden Pavilion outside today." The shopkeeper said that these are socks from the neighboring country of Hyakka, and that women there love to wear them, and that women in Kyoto and many big cities are now wearing these socks. Sister Xiao Tao thought it was very strange, so she bought a few pairs and came back, ready to try to imitate it and see if she could make it. The slave and maid asked for a pair of pairs and came back, and they were going to learn it. ”

Luo Qingzhou looked at the white stockings in her hand, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took them in her hand, stroked them, pulled them again, and even sniffed them.

Soft, silky, elastic and ...... taste

"Childe, is it good-looking?"

Fluttershy said excitedly, "The slave is going to make a few pairs of other colors of fabric, and Sister Peach said that different fabrics will have different effects, some are more transparent, some are more hazy, and some are as thick as pants, anyway, with these socks, you don't need to wear pants in the future." I've heard that many aristocratic ladies in Kyoto are now dressed like this. ”

Luo Qingzhou was in a trance for a while, handed her the stockings in his hand, hesitated, and said, "Fluttershy, actually, this kind of socks don't need to be all made of this length." You can do it shorter, thigh-length, knee-length, calf-length, or ankle-length. Also, I think black, white, or close to the color of the skin are better. And the striped ones, which are also okay. As for the colorful, embroidered or something, I don't think it's necessary. ”

Fluttershy's eyes widened as he gushed out his words, and said with surprise on her face, "Childe, why do you look so understanding?" Did you wear it originally? ”

Luo Qingzhou: "......"

Fluttershy hurriedly adds, "Oh, the slave forgot, this is what girls are wearing." Did Childe see it in the store? ”

Luo Qingzhou waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll read the book for a while, you can get busy." I don't have to come over tonight, I still have something to do. ”

The little girl pouted, "oh", and left a little dazedly, muttering in a low voice: "People are still going to wear these socks tonight and sleep with their son." ”

When she walked out of the room and was about to close the door, Luo Qingzhou suddenly said, "By the way, Fluttershy, I just thought about it, there should be nothing wrong tonight, you might as well come over and help me warm the quilt later." ”

The little girl immediately smiled, and said happily: "Mmmm! ”

Then he closed the door, returned to his room, and began to carefully observe the slippery and soft white stockings in his hands.

After a while.

She slammed the door, climbed into bed, took off the pants in her skirt, revealing a pair of slender snow-white girlish jade legs, and began to carefully put the stockings on her legs.

"This sock...... How can you wear a ...... It's a shameful feeling. ”

The little girl looked at the white silk on her legs, her face turned red unconsciously, her heart was full of doubts and strangeness, and she didn't know why she felt like this.

"I don't know...... Will Childe like it? ”

After another moment.

The little girl changed into a thin nightdress, wore slippery white silk, walked out of the room with a red face, and knocked on the door: "Childe, are you going to sleep?" ”

Luo Qingzhou said on the bed: "Come in." ”

The little girl pushed open the door, walked in shyly, and after plugging in the door, she went over and climbed into the bed, got into the quilt, like a docile kitten, stuck to his chest, and whispered: "Childe, the slave wants to ......."

"I want to eat fart, and I said next year."

"It's almost the New Year. Childe, the slave just wants to say, the slave misses you, and I haven't warmed the quilt for Childe for many days. ”

"Oh, then it's going to be warm tonight."

"Childe, I hope you will count your words, and when the New Year is over, the slave and maid will grow up. When the time comes......"

"Purr, purr......"

"Woo, Childe......"

"Purr...... Purr ......"

"Childe, if you pretend to be asleep again, the slave will not be welcome."

"Purr, purr......"

"Humph!"

The little girl snorted, suddenly shrunk and got into the quilt.

Luo Qingzhou's snoring suddenly stopped.

Outside the window, the moonlight is like water.

Plum fragrance garden.

In the study, cigarettes curled and the candlesticks were still lit.

A girl in a plain white dress, with long silky hair and a pair of snow-white socks, sat in front of the desk, stepping on a soft velvet blanket, holding a pen in her hand, and still writing a beautiful little character under the lamp.

Qiu'er was dressed in goose yellow light yarn, quietly grinding ink on the side.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

The girl, who was transcribing the story, suddenly coughed.

After a short pause, he coughed again.

Then she suddenly picked up the snow-white handkerchief next to her, covered her mouth, and coughed violently.

Qiu'er hurriedly walked behind her, patted her on the back, and said to the outside in a hurry: "Zhu'er, hurry, Miss is coughing up blood again, go to the hot medicine!" ”

Zhu'er hurriedly ran into the kitchen and put the medicine that had already been boiled on the stove.

Holding the pu fan, she fanned anxiously in front of the stove a few times, she suddenly remembered something, and immediately put down the pu fan and ran out of the door.

Running all the way.

The night was silent, and the wind was biting.

When she panted and ran to the door, banging on the door and shouting, Fluttershy was wearing thin pajamas, blushing and smirking on her face, brushing her teeth under the eaves of the small courtyard.

Pearl's face was full of anxiety and said, "Fluttershy, quick, let my uncle come over, my young lady is coughing up blood again." ”

Fluttershy panics back into the house.

When Luo Qingzhou heard the news, he quickly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, thought about it, and brought the storage bag.

When he and Zhu'er hurried to the scene, the weak girl was still sitting stubbornly at the table, silently transcribing the story he had brought.

Qiu'er stood aside, her eyes red and her eyes grinding.

Luo Qingzhou took off his shoes and entered the room.

The girl turned her head to look at him, her beautiful and pale face showed a hint of apology, and said softly, "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry...... Micro ink is useless, it bothers you again. ”

Qiu'er hurriedly retreated and closed the door.

Luo Qingzhou walked closer, took out the porcelain bottle from the storage bag, held her white and weak little hand, and dripped a drop of inky black liquid on it.

Immediately, he took out another porcelain bottle and dripped a drop of dark blue liquid on it.

The two drops of liquid quickly melted into her delicate skin and disappeared.

Luo Qingzhou put away the porcelain vase, let go of her little hand, looked at the small characters she had transcribed, and said, "There's no need to work so hard. ”

The girl's eyes also looked at those small words, and said softly: "It's not hard at all, only writing my brother-in-law's poems and stories, Weimo's body and heart, will I feel better." ”

Luo Qingzhou thought of tonight's events, looked at her pale little face with long eyelashes hanging down, was silent for a while, suddenly bent down, hugged her horizontally in his arms, and then blew out the candle lights next to him and walked to the back room.

The girl lay quietly in his arms, her eyes looking at him softly, without struggling or speaking, quietly, only gentlely.

Luo Qingzhou sat down on the edge of the bed, then squatted down, lifted her slender little feet, and helped her take off her snow-white socks.

"Second Miss, tonight's ......"

The girl suddenly stretched out a slender jade finger, gently pressed it against his lips, looked at him softly, and said, "Brother-in-law, don't say it...... Micro ink understands ......"

Luo Qingzhou squatted in front of her, holding her snow-white and delicate girl's jade feet in the palm of her hand, bowed her head and was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and said, "Second Miss, if that is really the only way to alleviate your condition, then I ......"

The girl lowered her head suddenly, and two cold and soft pink lips gently touched his lips, and two red glows soon flew on her white cheeks.

Under the girl's fluttering eyelashes were a pair of shy but brave eyes.

Luo Qingzhou's body trembled by the sudden "attack", and her hands unconsciously clenched her delicate and slippery jade feet, and her heart lake "poofed", causing ripples in circles.

It didn't go away for a long time......
