There is nothing on the black wood table, only a set of carved utensils. Once upon a time, when she was in college, because she studied architecture, there was a professor who always asked students to make their own models. Therefore, they will do some craftsman's work for the whole class. And from this rough craft, she also followed the top students in the class, practicing calligraphy for a period of time like a dog, and did carving for a period of time. As a result, the calligraphy was not practiced well, but the carving was done well.

"Carving?" Chen Qiuniang looked at Zhang Ci.

"Yes." Zhang Ci replied as he asked her to sit on the cushion in front of the desk and took out a box from his arms. A delicate small wooden box, the surface of the box is carved with the pattern of a phoenix Yu Fei, and it is also inlaid with gold edges. He held the box in both hands and handed it over very solemnly. Chen Qiuniang knew that this must be an extremely valuable gift, so she also stretched out her hands to take it.

Zhang Ci motioned for her to open it and take a look, and Chen Qiuniang, under his guidance, pressed open the mechanism of the box. The inside is lined with red velvet, and a layer of bright yellow silk is spread in the box, and above the silk is a light green jade pendant, which is well-proportioned in color and decorated with red Yingluo.

Chen Qiuniang only felt that she had seen it somewhere, and when she thought about it carefully, she was shocked and inexplicable. This jade pendant is quite similar to the shape of the jade pendant found in the thousand-year-old wine cellar that day, isn't it that piece?

She was shocked in her heart, and immediately picked up the jade pendant, took a closer look, and did not see the word "cloud" that was quite similar to her knife technique, but she saw the outline on the jade pendant, and the word "Zhaoren" was as thin as a mosquito's foot, which was used in small Kai, which was Zhang Ci's handwriting.

Yes, in the past, she always felt that Zhang Ci's words looked like she had seen them somewhere, but she never thought that it was the jade pendant she saw in the wine cellar.

She was so shocked that her whole face turned white, but because she was carrying the light on her back and looked down at the jade pendant, Zhang Ci didn't notice it. He also said to himself: "This is a necessary token for the head of the Zhang family, and the head of the Zhang family personally selects the high-quality jade and polishes it into a jade pendant, carves the mark of the Zhang family, and then personally engraves the title of the head of the housewife." Of course, it is also because the Zhang family is the head of the nine major families and has no crown, and the mother of the housewife is naturally the person who is the mother of the world. Therefore, there must be a title. Yun'er, do you think the word 'Zhaoren' is good? ”

He asked, and she tried her best to hold back her feelings, and replied in a tone as calm as possible: "Good is good." It's just that this account doesn't fit me, right? ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ci asked rhetorically, and then said, "You are a merciful person. There are occasional layouts, but they are all for protection. ”

When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she smiled and said jokingly: "You are blind." ”

"What's the matter? You are kind to people and things, but you are considerate of people everywhere. can afford these two words. He said.

"Thank you Brother Youqi for the compliment." She was still smiling, her eyes like silk.

But he looked at her, lost his mind for a moment, and after a while, when he came back to his senses, he whispered: "This is the token of the head of the house, from now on, you are my wife, and you should be called husband." ”

Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes, full of joy, but she didn't dare to look at his face shyly, so she only bowed her head and said nothing.

"Call me husband." He said.

She pursed her lips, looked down at the jade pendant, and thought that there might really be a so-called fate, and the jade pendant in front of her was either some kind of sign, or it might leave this man in her heart the next moment. She had no scruples and wanted to call him husband, not to mention that she had wanted to call him that way for a long time. So, she opened her mouth, but she was still shy in the end, and only called out in a low voice: "Husband." ”

It was also with this husband that she was so ashamed that her whole face was very hot. Zhang Ci was full of joy when he heard this, and he still said reluctantly: "Call again, call again." I'm going to listen to it too. ”

She didn't resist his coquettishness, and she couldn't resist him at all, so she granted his wish and called him several times: "Husband." But I never thought that Zhang Ci, who had always been full of joy, actually shed tears, held her face, and said emotionally: "I thought that there would never be such a moment in my life." But I met you after all, and you are not allowed to leave me, don't even think about it. ”

"Okay." She said with a smile, but the appearance of this jade pendant still made her feel extremely uneasy.

When Zhang Ci received her affirmative answer, he took her hand and said, "The other side of this token requires you to engrave your name yourself." ”

Chen Qiuniang's heart was cold, if this jade pendant was engraved with the word "cloud", it would really be exactly the same as the jade pendant she saw before traveling through time and space. She resisted this from the bottom of her heart, so she said, "Then I will carve a 'autumn' character." ”

"I can't." Zhang Ci shook his head, and carefully explained that the name of the token of the grandmother of the Zhang family was reported by the patriarch to the senate council, and the senators reviewed and entered it into the family tree. Zhang Ci had already reported her name before leaving for Cangzhou, and received a reply the day before yesterday, that is, he agreed to the word 'cloud'.

"You didn't even consult with me." Chen Qiuniang muttered.

Zhang Ci was chilled by her words for a moment before asking, "Don't you like this name?" ”

She shook her head and said, "No." ”

"Why?" He looked at her and suddenly changed his words, "Why is your face so bad?" Isn't Mo sick? He put one hand on her forehead, and his own brow furrowed, and he said with some reproach, "Your forehead is so hot, and you don't tell me." ”

"I'm fine." She replied, and she also felt groggy and had no thoughts.

"Hard-mouthed." He said fiercely, pouring her into his arms, saying, "You are not well, go and rest." Tomorrow, we will not leave, and when you raise in Cangzhou for some time, we will go to Bianjing. ”

"No, I'm really fine, I'll wake up after a sleep, don't delay the trip for me." She shook her head.

But he was displeased, and said, "I have decided that you should only take care of your health." ”

As soon as he had said this, he picked her up. Chen Qiuniang was still holding the box and jade pendant in her hand, and she exclaimed slightly: "What are you doing?" ”

"Sleep with you." He said.

"I haven't showered and changed yet." She whispered.

"The body is so bad, what are you bathing and changing? I slept with you, and I didn't hate you. He said.

Chen Qiuniang was instantly stunned by his words, and only repeated the sentence 'I sleep with you' in her heart. In the past, even if they were in the same room, they had the right to lie in the same bed, but he had never said such a thing so justifiably. What did he mean by that? Didn't you give a token to the housewife, tonight is the candle in the cave room?

Chen Qiuniang thought about it, and felt that she was thinking too much. Zhang Ciruo wants her to be his woman, and there are many opportunities. But he has always cherished her, that is, he wants to give her a name. Now, although he gave a token, but there was no matchmaker, and there was no wedding, he would definitely not treat her like this. Besides, she is not in good health now, and Zhang Ci will definitely not think about anything else.

But even so, the fact that he could say such a thing showed that he must not have had a good night's sleep tonight. Of course, she didn't have time to think about the jade pendant.

She needed a moment to be alone, so she immediately objected: "You sleep in the outhouse, I can sleep by myself." ”

He hugged her, lifted the beaded curtain, and went into the inner room, glanced at her, and said, "You are my wife." ”

"There's no matchmaker yet." She retorted with this.

"There's a token." He said.

Chen Qiuniang was taken aback, am I overestimating this man? Seeing his surprise, Zhang Ci smiled lightly and said, "Okay, I won't tease you." Although I want you to be my woman all the time, you are still young, and we have never had a matchmaker, and I have never given you a beautiful wedding. This is something that should never be done. ”

Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes embarrassedly, but he said, "But I really don't feel at ease if you are like this today." Besides—"

At this point, he paused again. Chen Qiuniang was curious, so she sat on the edge of the bed and looked up at Zhang Ci who was standing nearby, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I like to sleep with you in my arms." He was embarrassed, and as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the closet next to him.

Chen Qiuniang was also very shy, so she didn't answer, took off her shoes and went to bed to pull the curtain, and locked him out of the curtain. He was about to pick the account, but Chen Qiuniang said: "I'm fine, you're here, I can't sleep well." "Probably she was right. Zhang Ci also felt a lot, so he didn't insist, just let go of his hand, and said, "I'll just rest on the soft couch in this house." ”

"It's cold in the north, how can you deal with it here, it's better to go to the bed." Chen Qiuniang pulled the quilt and covered it, and said to Zhang Ci through the mosquito net.

Zhang Ci didn't follow her, and only said that laying a few more layers of soft quilts would not get in the way. Chen Qiuniang didn't object, and the two slept like this.

The spring night in the north is exceptionally quiet, not as good as the spring night in the south, where there are always insects and birds chirping. Chen Qiuniang lay on the bed, listening to Zhang Ci's well-proportioned breathing, tears silently slid down her face and rolled into the pillow. She has never been a fragile woman, but this day she watched the possible fate, because of the people I cared about, I was afraid, plus the appearance of this jade pendant-

Chen Qiuniang still held the jade pendant given by Zhang Ci in her hand, which was the same as the one she saw in the wine cellar in her previous life, but it was missing the word "cloud" that she had carved herself. Isn't that a sign of something?

Chen Qiuniang only felt restless, and wanted to toss and turn, but she was afraid of arguing with Zhang Ci, so she simply lay upright, tears silent, gently caressing the jade pendant that was cold to the tentacles, and touching the small Kai that was as thin as a mosquito's foot, which was the title given to her by Zhang Ci, the affirmation given to her, and the highest commitment given to her.

Because of something on her mind, she didn't feel sleepy. She even thought many times that she might leave Zhang Ci and never be able to come to him again, in a world without him. She thought about it many times, but she only thought about it superficially, and forced herself not to think about it. Because she only thought about it superficially, as long as she thought that she might have to leave him, she was so sad that her breathing was painful. R1152
