Chapter Seventy-Three: The Twin Beads of Pregnancy (182/493)
Xu Buling came to the back house, and just turned into the corridor, Xiao Xiang'er, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared at the door.
As the saying goes, Xiao Biesheng is newlywed, the day before the ship arrived in Huainan, Xiao Xiang'er couldn't sit still, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night, and began to dress up at dawn, dotted with red lips and eyebrows, and the red silk dress embellished with moire was meticulously arranged.
Dressed in red, between the wind and snow, the light is dazzling.
may not want to be too eager in front of her lover, Xiao Xiang'er stood outside the door, folded her hands on her waist, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, revealing a moving but very calm smile, and said lightly:
"Coming back?"
Xu Buling's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and his eyes are full of tenderness. Walking quickly to the door, he raised his hand and was a bear hug:
"Baby, don't you think I have it?"
Xiao Xiang'er's feet were lifted off the ground, the red embroidered shoes embroidered with peonies kicked the hem of the skirt lightly, and her hands slapped twice on his shoulders:
"Xu Buling, you are honest, you will move your hands and feet when you meet, what kind ......of system will you become?"
Xiao Xiang'er is always very hard when she is not pressed, Xu Buling doesn't care at all, carries her into the house, sits down on the carved soft collapse, and takes a few big mouthfuls while holding her face.
"Bo Bo Bo Bo—~"
"Oops~"
Xiao Xiang'er squinted her eyes and leaned back to dodge, resisted a few times to no avail, then covered Xu Buling's mouth with her hand, frowned and said:
"Speak first, I haven't seen you for so long, you just think about this?"
Xu Buling laughed, sat down against the soft collapse, and said softly: "I'm afraid that the baby is in a hurry, it's not too late to relieve the baby's hunger before talking." ”
"Who's in a hurry?"
Xiao Xiang'er glared slightly, looked innocent, sat next to her, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her cheeks with disgust: "I think it's you who are hungry, right?" I'm not the kind of woman who covets men, and I'm clean these days when you're not around......"
Xu Buling didn't believe it at all, so he took Xiang'er's leg up and touched it along his ankle:
"Really? I'll touch ......"
Xiao Xiang'er embroidered her shoes and kicked twice, and said angrily: "You are going to die~" pressed the skirt with her hand and pushed Xu Buling away: "Let's get down to business first, did you go to Jiangnan this time and settle my sister?" ”
Xu Buling withdrew his hand, the rules were done, and he chuckled: "It must be settled, your sister promised to marry and go to Suzhou, and she has already gone to the council hall to talk to the uncles about it." ”
Xiao Xianger didn't know about swapping identities with her sister and swapping her sister out. Seeing that my sister, who has always been arrogant and assertive, softened so quickly, she frowned lightly and said:
"You're not going to be strong on my sister, are you? Xu Buling, I told you in advance, if you dare to use dirty means against my sister to force her to comply, I will hate you for the rest of my life. ”
"How so, huh...... I killed Yang Yingxiong in Jinling, and destroyed Hongshan Lake, my chivalrous heart moved your sister, and I wrote a lot of poems to her, and then I ......"
"Alright, alright."
Xiao Xiang'er didn't want to listen to her sister's talk about you and me before the moon, but now that the matter is settled, she will have to serve her husband with sisters in the future. She looked at Xu Buling, her eyes showed a little dissatisfaction, and she snorted lightly:
"I don't know what good deeds you did in your previous life to cultivate your current blessings...... If you don't cherish it, be careful! ”
Xu Buling nodded seriously, thought about it, and took out a rouge box from his arms, as well as rice paper:
"This is what I picked for the baby from Hangzhou, in fact, there are all in the house, and I can't find a better one, so I pondered it and drew a small thing......
Xiao Xiang'er knows the nature of her stinky brother, and always studies some messy things, only one percent of them are useful, and the rest are all used to bully people. With a bit of strangeness in her eyes, she took it, put the rouge box in her hand, unfolded the rice paper and looked at it a few times:
"This ...... Aren't these shoes weapons? The awl is placed under the heel of the shoe, so it won't break the foot? ”
"You don't have to walk to dress, just lie down......"
"Uh-huh???"
--------
After Xiao Qi handed over the seal letter to his nephew, he had not yet married and had not unloaded all his burdens. After finishing the tedious affairs that had accumulated in the study recently, I had time to go out of the door, and it was getting dark.
Xiao Ting is also in the study, probably knowing that he has shouldered a heavy burden now, and the few who didn't go out to be chic, sat honestly behind the desk, the case files in front of him were piled up, and he learned about the various projects of the Xiao family under the narration of the master.
The Huainan Xiao clan has almost no taboos, from business and farming, refining medicine and metallurgy, to the court party struggle, enemy country scheduling, almost everything is involved, and the huge flow of information wants to sort out and analyze the optimal solution, and ordinary people who have not been sharpened can't do it at all. However, there are countless strategists in the family to give advice, and Xiao Qi is not worried that the millennium gate valve will fall into the middle of the family like this, even if the head of the family does nothing, it will be a generation of depression at most.
Looking at Xiao Ting's serious rote memorization, Xiao Qi smiled rarely, walked out of the ancestral house alone, and came to the mansion where Xu Buling lived temporarily.
The mansion is basically full of women, and when night falls, Zhu Manzhi and Ning Qing are sitting on the roof of the house blowing the cold wind and drinking, talking about the Suzhou Flower Sea and the opening of the Taoist Temple.
In the room in the west wing, Song Yufu and Zhongli Chuchu also got together, whispering something, looking up at the roof from time to time, and then whispering.
Xiao Qi entered from the verandah, and she didn't care about these four little girls, there are always a few women in the back house of a wealthy family, as long as she doesn't make trouble all day long, and the house is not peaceful.
Walking slowly to the house where Xiao Xiang'er lived, Xiao Qi glanced at it, the lights were on in the boudoir, and the maids were all branched out, and there was no sound quietly.
Xiao Qi stood in place and hesitated, thinking that her sister might be making love with Lang Jun, but after counting the time of Xu Buling, from the time she came back to the present, it should be over, so she didn't hesitate too much, and walked to the door and knocked:
"Xiang'er?"
"Ahh
There was a faintly panicked cry from inside the room.
In the incense-filled room, Xiao Xiang'er leaned against the collapse, holding a small mahogany card in her hand, and carefully engraved the word 'Zheng' on Xu Buling's face.
Hearing her sister's voice, Xiao Xiang'er hurriedly closed the half-open red dress, got up and hid the small box under the soft collapse, and signaled to Xu Buling, who was drinking tea:
"Hurry, hurry...... So what...... Tail ......"
Xu Buling didn't seem to hear it, opened the window to let the cold wind dispel some ambiguous smell in the house, walked to the door and opened the door.
Outside the room, Xiao Qi, who had just finished her business, didn't have time to put on makeup, wearing a long black dress without powder, looking very intellectual, with light red lips with charming color, the dim yellow lights shining on the close-fitting long skirt, and the curves outlined by the gourd-like delicate rise were exposed, not like Xiang'er who dared to compete for flowers, but had a special bookish charm.
Xiao Xiang'er saw her twin sister, her face turned red in an instant, and she ran into the house in a panic, just in response to the sentence of being a man with her tail between her legs......
Xiao Qi glanced at the room, didn't see any unsightly scenes, breathed a sigh of relief, ignored Xu Buling, walked into the room, and said softly:
"Xiang'er, what are you running?"
Xiao Xiang'er paused, quickly turned around, Fengyun's cheeks were slightly red, and she raised her hand to sort out her somewhat messy hair:
"Sister, why are you here? Didn't sleep at night......"
Xiao Qi's expression was unwavering, and she sat down on the soft collapse, frowning lightly: "I haven't seen you for many days, I'll come back to visit you, do you still dislike me as a sister?" ”
"No...... Just ......"
Xiao Xiang'er looked at Xu Buling with three points of chagrin and seven points of embarrassment, but saw that Xu Buling seemed to be fine, closed the door and walked back, sat down on the chair next to him, and poured tea for Xiao Qi.
This bastard......
Xiao Xiang'er glared at Xu Buling with a cannibalistic gaze, but did not get a response, so she could only walk with difficulty, walked to the soft collapse, and said with a smile:
"Just a little bit of a surprise, I ...... I talked to Xu Buling, and I didn't do anything unethical......"
"Heh......"
Xiao Qi didn't believe this nonsense at all, so she didn't pick up the teacup handed over by Xu Buling, and patted her side: "What are you doing standing?" Come and sit down, and I'll talk to you about what's next. ”
"No...... No need ......"
Xiao Xiang'er slowly walked behind the soft collapse, rubbed Xiao Qi's shoulder, and smiled gently:
"Sister, you can just say it directly, I will listen to you for everything."
Seeing that her sister was so caring, Xiao Qi's heart warmed a little, and she pressed Xiao Xiang'er's hand on her shoulder, and her voice was soft:
"In order for you to be able to see people openly and openly in the future, I promised to marry Xu Buling, but I will make an appointment with you in advance for three chapters. After arriving in Suzhou, I have full control over family affairs, and you can only go out to relax in the name of the princess, and you can't make ideas, you can't manage accounts, and you can't interfere in military affairs. ”
Xiao Xiang'er didn't think about this, and hurriedly nodded: "I know, I know, sister, it's getting late, you've been traveling for so long, it's time to go back and rest......"
???
Go back to rest? I've just sat down......
When Xiao Qi heard this, her heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.
For the sake of her sister, she first lost her body in the palace and suffered a dumb loss, and then she struggled for half a year, and now she doesn't even care about the matter of sisters serving a husband together, so she has to be moved a little bit when she is a sister, right?
Just because of a private meeting with her lover, she threw her sister out, thinking that she couldn't make a scene?
If you don't care about this, if you become a princess in the future, you won't be bullied to death by this sister......
Xiao Qi frowned and pondered, then got up: "Okay, don't disturb your rest, don't let me order you, you go out with me, I have something to look for you." ”
According to Xiao Qi's prediction, Xiao Xiang'er should be reluctant to give up when she heard this, and find a way to keep Xu Buling.
But what Xiao Qi didn't expect was that Xiao Xiang'er looked like she had been amnestied, and raised her hand to push her and Xu Buling out:
"Okay, Xu Buling, you go out with your sister quickly......"
Xiao Qi is really confused this time, is it because she is afraid that she will see that the two of them are stealing? She guessed before she came, what else was there to hide......
Xu Buling, who was drinking tea next to him, stood up when he saw this, and said with a smile:
"It's all here, it's snowing outside, and it's inconvenient to slide back in the dark, so why don't you rest here."
Xiao Xiang'er didn't understand yet, so she raised her hand and said, "Yes, Xu Buling, you send your sister down to rest." ”
Xiao Qi's eyes were a little strange, and he looked at Xu Buling's body a few times, and said inexplicably:
"Can you? Not afraid of dying of exhaustion? ”
“……”
Xu Buling took a breath, with a gentle and elegant smile, and spread his hand slightly:
"Why don't you try?"
Xiao Qi "cut~", turned around and walked out, and didn't have the intention of trying. It's a pity that as soon as he took two steps, he was hugged by Xu Buling with one hand.
Xiao Xiang'er, who was sending off the guests, was stunned when she saw this, and her eyes suddenly showed a little annoyance: "Xu Buling, you are presumptuous......" Before she finished speaking, she saw that her sister, who had never lost her majesty in front of people, was hugged by her waist, and she didn't look surprised, and naturally hooked Xu Buling's neck.
???
Although Xiao Xiang'er is not as clever as Xiao Qi, she is not stupid at all, and suddenly saw that something was wrong, her mouth opened slightly, and her eyes were full of astonishment.
Xiao Qi's absolutely rational way of thinking makes her adapt quickly to anything she faces, and she has decided to marry Xu Buling, and she has not writhed in front of her sister. Because he was miserable by Xiang'er before, and now he still has some sense of revenge, he patted Xu Buling's chest, and his voice was soft:
"Xianggong~ Let's go, let's go back to the room."
!!!
Xiao Xiang'er's apricot eyes widened, and she only felt that she had heard it wrong. She didn't expect her all-powerful sister to become like this in just a few days. Is this still her sister who 'if you are a man, you can be a national soldier'? Failed to fall for witchcraft?
Maybe she really fell for witchcraft, and she seemed to be like this back then......
The thoughts in her mind changed countless times, Xiao Xiang'er didn't say anything in the face of her sister's sword, but raised her hand to urge Xu Buling: "Go quickly, accompany my sister well......"
When Xiao Qi heard this, she was completely stunned.
Is this still my sister who wants to grab everything? I've started robbing you man, so generous?
The two sisters stared at each other, and they couldn't understand what kind of fame each other was doing.
Xu Buling coughed lightly and chuckled, "Don't make any noise, huh...... Let's rest. As he spoke, he blew out the candle and hugged Xiang'er as well.
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, reacted in an instant, and was embarrassed and angry in his eyes:
"Ahh You are presumptuous, let me down......"
Xiao Xiang'er was also stunned, but at this time, her mind was not on this kind of thing at all, and she shook her head in embarrassment: "Good brother, don't." Next time, you send my sister back to the room first, and I'll listen to you for everything......"
"Xiang'er! What's the matter with you? Why are you so afraid of him? ”
"I ...... Xu Buling, you let me out! ”
"You're going to try again?"
"You-ah~ Forget it, I won't fight with you, I'll go out, you and Xiang'er have a good chat, eh, eh......"
"Good brother, you ...... I bit you......"
……
"Huh~ Xiang'er, you're behind...... I see......"
"I'm not alive anymore my ......"
The winter breeze is blowing, and the courtyard is secluded.
Snowflakes fall silently in the garden, and the scenery is unique here......
