Episode 126: A Thousand Years of Joining the King
"Whew-"
The cold wind stirred up the snowflakes and danced in the courtyard.
The wind and snow at night are even greater.
The girl gently pushed open the window, and her weak body couldn't help but shiver in the cold air that came to her face.
The winter plum that slanted into the eaves has all withered.
There was a thick blanket of velvet in the house, a warm fire was burning on the ground, and the girl was dressed in plain white clothes, wrapped in an edelweiss fox fur, but she still felt cold.
The body is cold, and the heart is cold.
"Miss, it's windy, the slave should close the window."
Qiu'er stood outside the window, frowning.
The girl stood in front of the window for a while, nodded her head, and was about to speak when her eyes suddenly looked at the door outside the courtyard.
A familiar figure appeared there.
The girl was slightly stunned, as if she suddenly remembered something, and immediately raised her bare hand and closed the window.
Outside.
Luo Qingzhou stepped on the bluestone slab soaked in snow and water, entered the courtyard, saw Qiu'er standing under the corridor, and asked softly, "Is the second lady resting?" ”
Qiu'er smiled slightly, walked to the door and said, "Not yet, Miss is reading in the study, and my uncle is coming in." ”
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the window and said, "No need, I'll just stand outside the window and say a few words." ”
Qiu'er stopped at the door and said, "Uncle, Miss is reading on the couch, she is a little uncomfortable today, it is inconvenient to come down, and the window cannot be opened, the cold wind will blow in." ”
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll say a few words to the second lady at the door of the study." ”
With that, he walked in.
Qiu'er smiled "poof", covered her mouth and said, "Uncle, Zhu'er is not here tonight, you don't have to be afraid." ”
Luo Qingzhou said: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's supposed to be like this." ”
The brother-in-law came to look for his sister-in-law in the middle of the night, and he was already in the melon field, which aroused suspicion; If you don't know the rules anymore and enter the room, you are alone, how can you explain it?
Qiu'er smiled slightly, glanced at him again, entered the house, went over and opened the door, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, the slave maid is going to hot porridge, Miss hasn't eaten tonight." ”
Luo Qingzhou nodded.
Qiu'er walked out of the house and went to the kitchen.
Luo Qingzhou walked to the door of the study and looked inside.
In the room, the light was bright, and a weak girl in snow-white clothes was sitting quietly on the soft floor, holding a book in her hand, and looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Brother-in-law, if you don't come in, I won't talk to you."
After the girl finished speaking, she withdrew her gaze from him, lowered her head and flipped through the book, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth.
Luo Qingzhou stood at the door and said, "Second Miss, I have something I want to ask you, I'll leave after asking." ”
The girl continued to look down at the book, ignoring her.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, and arched his hand: "Then, the second lady will rest early, and I will leave." ”
The girl suddenly looked up at him and said in a trembling voice: "Brother-in-law......"
Luo Qingzhou stopped, his eyes meeting her.
The girl's eyes trembled, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she looked pitiful: "Brother-in-law, if you are because of what happened that day...... Weimo apologized to you, but Weimo never mentioned it again...... That's too much to ask, okay? ”
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and arched his hand: "Second Miss, don't think about it, I didn't take that matter to heart." It's just that it's getting late tonight, and I still have to go to Mrs. to say goodbye, so I want to say a few words to the second lady at the door and leave. Actually, it's not an important thing, it doesn't matter if you say it or not. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu'er's cold voice suddenly came from the door: "Uncle, you don't have to go to Madame's place tonight, and you don't have to go for the time being, Madame has been busy lately." ”
Luo Qingzhou looked at her.
Zhu'er said again: "Madame also asked the slave to tell my aunt to accompany my young lady and be a qualified brother-in-law." ”
Luo Qingzhou: "......"
What kind of qualification is this "qualified"?
is to keep a distance and keep the rules between brother-in-law and sister-in-law; Still is...... Obedient to your sister-in-law, responsive?
At the very least, there should be a standard, right?
"Uncle, go in, the slave and maid are not going to complain to Madame. Madame has been very busy lately, and we are going to attend the celebration banquet of the eldest princess in a few days, and Madame is distressed by the gift for the eldest princess, so she will ignore her aunt for the time being, so she doesn't need to be afraid. ”
Zhu'er said expressionlessly.
Luo Qingzhou was curious: "Are we also going to attend the eldest princess's celebration banquet?" ”
Zhu'er said: "Of course the lord and the lady are going, as for the uncle, it is estimated that it is ......"
"Pearl."
In the study, Qin Weimo shouted softly.
Zhu'er immediately said: "Miss, the slave maid goes to the kitchen to help Qiu'er warm porridge, you talk to your uncle, the slave and maid won't stay here to annoy people." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, and went to the kitchen.
At first, after my uncle knew that she was Mrs. Madame's little "spy", she was still a little apprehensive and ashamed, but she slowly got used to it.
Anyway, she didn't do anything bad, and she didn't talk nonsense.
She is honest to her wife, and she is also loyal to her own young lady, so she is not afraid that her uncle will hate her.
When she entered the kitchen, Qiu'er looked at her and whispered, "Don't talk to your uncle like that in the future, let alone mention that your uncle is a big deal." Uncle will be sad in his heart, and Miss will be unhappy. ”
Zhu'er pursed her lips and said, "Qiu'er, even you help your uncle?" People didn't talk nonsense, they all told the truth. ”
Qiu'er said softly: "Don't tell the truth about everything, especially if it's easy to hurt others." Didn't Miss usually tell us that? Before speaking or doing things, you should first put yourself in the shoes of others, and if it is a word or behavior that hurts others, it is best not to say or do it. Learn white lies, you know? ”
Zhu'er suddenly looked at her with strange eyes and said, "Qiu'er, tell me honestly, do you like your uncle?" Do you want to be your uncle's little girl? ”
"Huh?"
Qiu'er was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "What nonsense, I don't have it." ”
Zhu'er snorted coldly: "No? You have been defending your uncle, and you have been matching our young lady and our uncle, do you want to wait for your uncle and our young lady...... Then, you can be your aunt's little girl, right? ”
"No!!"
"That's it! Hmph, I'm going to tell my uncle, saying that Qiu'er wants to keep my uncle in the boudoir tonight to sleep with my uncle. ”
Pearls said, deliberately going out.
Qiu'er was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly hugged her from behind, and said with a red face: "Zhu'er!" Don't talk nonsense, beware of my aunt hearing it, I'm ashamed to die. ”
Zhu'er laughed: "Xiao Nizi is in a hurry, Xiao Nizi is empty-hearted!" ”
"Besides, say again I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Uncle! Uncle! Qiu'er said that he wanted his aunt to tear her little belly tonight...... Don't ...... you"
Qiu'er hurriedly covered her mouth and dragged her into the innermost part of the kitchen desperately.
"Brother-in-law, come in......"
In the study, it collapsed softly.
The girl in snow-white clothes invited softly again, frowning slightly, biting her pink lips, and her face bitter, looking pitiful and pitiful.
How many people in the world can refuse this kind of appearance?
Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze, didn't speak again, lowered his head and took off his shoes, and walked in.
A girlish fragrance wafted through the room, mixed with the heat, and instantly enveloped his entire body.
When you step on the soft blanket, your heart seems to fall into a piece of softness.
This room, this girl, this breath, this atmosphere, even if a hard-hearted person comes in, it will soften.
Luo Qingzhou walked to the soft collapse and was about to bow his head to speak, when the girl said softly: "Brother-in-law, come up and ......"
"Come up on the bed ......"
She whispered again.
Luo Qingzhou hesitated, and said secretly in his heart: Anyway, I've already come in, so let's go up.
Anyway, the mother-in-law also said that let him be a qualified brother-in-law.
To meet the requirements of the sister-in-law, it should be counted, right?
He got on the couch and sat down across from him.
The girl stretched out her slender jade hand, and her fingertips as white as jade lightly tapped a chess piece on the chessboard, and said softly: "Brother-in-law, do you know how to play chess?" ”
Luo Qingzhou said: "No." ”
Even if he could, he had to say no, otherwise the girl would invite him to play chess again, and the trouble would be even greater.
"That Weimo Sect brother-in-law, okay?"
“…… Second Miss, I came tonight to ask Second Miss about something. Is there a distinguished guest from Kyoto in our house? Does Miss Two know what her name is? ”
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and asked directly.
The girl was slightly stunned when she heard this, looked at him a few times, and said, "Has my brother-in-law met her?" ”
Luo Qingzhou had to lie: "I seem to have met it once in the house, and I heard those maids say that she seems to be from Kyoto, I don't know if it's her?" Second Miss, what does that distinguished guest from Kyoto look like? ”
The girl looked at him softly, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curved: "When my brother-in-law lies, his eyes dare not look at me." ”
Luo Qingzhou looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, and his cheeks were a little hot.
For some reason, every time he faced this girl, he felt guilty just by lying.
"Her name is Nangong Meijiao, she is the daughter of my mother's cousin, and her family is in Kyoto. I came to Meaux to escape marriage. As for appearance......
The girl looked at him with a smile in her eyes: "As a man, my brother-in-law will definitely like the appearance and figure of Sister Meijiao." If you see it, you will never forget it. ”
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved, and he said secretly: It is indeed unforgettable, it turns out that the cold and arrogant girl who likes stinky beauty is really her.
Fortunately, there was no conflict with her yesterday.
"Oh, by the way, Second Miss."
Luo Qingzhou reached into his clothes, took out a bag of gold coins from the storage bag, put them on the chessboard, and said, "This is two hundred gold coins, which are returned to the second young lady." ”
The last time he went to the Treasure Pavilion to buy a dagger, plus the gold coins that sold the demon pill, he only spent eighty gold coins on Miss Qin Er.
Yesterday, I just picked up more than 80 pieces in the black wood forest, and I really managed to get over 200 more.
He didn't want to owe too much to this Second Miss Qin.
As for Miss Qin Er's statement that she would withdraw two hundred gold coins from him every month, it was absolutely impossible for him to accept it.
If he accepted it, wouldn't it be like he was being adopted?
And he is also a sister-in-law's brother-in-law.
What's more, he probably knew some of the situation in the Qin Mansion, the economic situation didn't seem to be very good, and Qin Chuan was cultivating again.
At this time, of course, he can't spend other people's money anymore.
"Second Miss, it's not too early, then you rest, I'll take my leave."
Luo Qingzhou put down the money and prepared to get up and leave.
The girl panicked, subconsciously stretched out her hand, held his hand on the chessboard, and begged softly: "Brother-in-law, sit with Weimo for a while, okay?" ”
Luo Qingzhou frowned, lowered her gaze, and fell on her snow-white jade-like hand.
The girl's fair cheeks were dyed with two blushes, she bit her lip lightly, Fang slowly took her hand away, bowed her head and said, "Brother-in-law, Weimo still wants to talk to you, okay?" ”
"Uncle, Miss, the porridge is here."
Qiu'er brought two bowls of porridge in a timely manner, put them on the small table between the two, and then put away the chessboard and chess pieces, and said with a smile: "Uncle, the porridge must be eaten." Spend more time with my young lady, she can't sleep at this time. ”
After saying that, he left with the tray and closed the door by the way.
In the room, there was silence.
Luo Qingzhou had to pick up the spoon, looked down at the porridge in the bowl and said, "Second Miss, eat the porridge, otherwise it will be cold for a while." ”
The girl also picked up the spoon, gently stirred the porridge in the bowl, looked up at him and said, "Brother-in-law, if you finish eating it again this time, I will give my bowl of porridge to my brother-in-law." ”
Luo Qingzhou originally picked up the bowl and was about to eat it in a few bites, but when he heard the words, he paused, so he had to put down the bowl again, lowered his head, and ate slowly spoonful by spoonful.
A smile tugged at the corner of the girl's mouth.
The two lowered their heads, slowly, and ate the porridge one bite at a time, and did not speak again.
The girl occasionally raised her head and glanced at him, her eyes were full of happiness, and the smile on the corner of her mouth hung there all the time.
Outside the window, the cold wind whined and the snow fell.
In the room, peaceful and warm.
Zhu'er and Qiu'er stood outside the door, holding their breath, and no one made a sound.
The two thought it was strange.
Even if the young lady used to stay in the room, she would cough from time to time, and she would often cough up blood.
But as soon as my uncle came, the young lady never coughed anymore.
What's going on?
Zhu'er endured it, didn't hold back, lowered her voice and whispered: "Qiu'er, when Miss sleeps at night, she often coughs, you say...... If my uncle is here, will it ......?"
Qiu'er didn't answer.
Zhu'er whispered again: "Qiu'er, why don't you try it tonight?" Later, you go to seduce your uncle, invite your uncle to sleep in your boudoir, and when you get tired of tossing your uncle, you will ...... Hmmm......"
Before she could finish speaking, Qiu'er covered her mouth, then dragged her out, dragged her into the next room, closed the door, tickled her hard, and punished her fiercely.
"By the way, brother-in-law, Sister Meijiao came here just now."
In the study, the girl suddenly spoke.
She thinks that if she talks about this, maybe her brother-in-law will be interested, and maybe her brother-in-law will not be in a hurry to leave.
Luo Qingzhou's expression really moved, looked up at her and said, "What is she doing here?" ”
The girl looked at his expression and said softly: "Sister Meijiao came to see me, and by the way, listen to me, the story that my brother-in-law told me." Brother-in-law's poems and stories, Sister Meijiao also likes to listen. ”
Luo Qingzhou listened, just lightly "oh", lowered his head and finished the last bite of porridge, got up and said, "Second Miss, I'm done eating, then I'm ......"
"Brother-in-law, I haven't finished eating yet......"
"It's not too early, I'm ......"
"Brother-in-law, let's talk about Bailing, shall we?"
Luo Qingzhou, who was about to stay, paused when he heard the words, and slowly sat back.
The girl looked at him with complicated eyes.
