Chapter 13: It's hard to put into words
A cold voice came from the room, and his voice was a little hoarse, sounding like he was indeed infected with the wind cold.
Xi Duyun knocked on the door and raised his hand to knock on the door, his hand paused in the air, his breath also stagnated, and his heart seemed to be held by an invisible hand.
His hand stiffened for a long time before Xi Duyun slowly retracted it, saying that the place where Qi Lichen lived was really deserted, and the courtyard was empty, and there was nothing.
"It's okay, you rest first, and I'll go back." Xi Duyun pursed her lips and left thoughtfully.
Hearing that the footsteps were getting farther away and there was no intention of turning back, Bai Ye's hanging heart was then let go, and he finally left.
But...... Isn't that too much to say?
"No matter, everything is based on the cabinet master's plan." Holding the sword in Bai Ye's arms, he looked around the room, and then his brows furrowed again, how did the pavilion master come here all these years?
Xi Muyun walked all the way back along the road he came from, and when he was about to reach the door of his house, his footsteps suddenly stopped: "Eh! No! It's my fault that I went to him, bastard! ”
In the village, Xi Muyun and Qi Lichen were both talking after tea and dinner, and Xi Muyun didn't bother to ask them about some things.
Since Qi Lichen asked her not to go to him, then go back in a few days, it is one thing to be angry, it is related to Qi Lichen's career, it is not trivial, and you must not make a mistake because of anger.
"Sister, what are you muttering about, the sweet potatoes are about to be washed bald." Today, Xi Muyun said that he wanted to make potato flour and got up early in the morning to get busy, but Xi Muyun couldn't help, so he squatted aside and watched.
Xi Muyun became more and more energetic, as if he was about to cut the sweet potato in his hand with a thousand knives, looking strange and scary.
"Haha." Xi Muyun glanced at the missing piece of sweet potato, and smiled awkwardly.
"Originally, I was going to wash my bald skin, Xiaoyu don't squat here to watch, let's go out and play." Xi Muyun leaned down and kissed Xi Muyu's forehead, not allowing her to follow behind her all the time.
"Don't, going out and being caught by the second aunt is to pull your ears, Yu'er likes to follow her sister, there is delicious food."
Xi Muyu cracked his mouth and smiled, revealing the teeth that were missing two teeth during the tooth replacement period, which was very simple.
Xi Muyun's nose was sour, the Li family did not accept the benefits of their father, even if they couldn't care for them all the time, their minds shouldn't be so vicious!
Xi Muyun clenched the sweet potato in his hand and pulled out a smile: "Xiaoyu is good." ”
Several women went to collect and passed by Xi Muyun's courtyard together, standing far away and pointing here, Xi Muyun didn't really know what they were talking about, and yelled impatiently: "Aren't your aunts full of food and supporting?" ”
These people were talking behind their backs, and they were hurried away by Xi Muyun's roar, and one didn't know if he tripped over a stone or something, and he kicked off his straw sandals, which was angry and funny.
Xi Muyun didn't bother to pay attention to them, turned his head to look at the dazzling sun, and counted the time, it was almost time.
"Does my sister want to leave my brother?" Xi Muyu followed her sister's example and brushed the sweet potatoes in a good way, where did her palm catch it, and the sweet potatoes fell back into the basin and splashed her with water.
Xi Muyun helplessly helped her wipe the water droplets off her face, this girl is also a living treasure when she makes a fuss.
"Yes, my sister will go to the aunt next door later, you can go to the aunt if you have something, and she will help you."
In this village, in addition to Qi Lichen, the aunt next door is quite honest and easy to get along with.
"Sister rest assured, Yu'er will stay at home obediently and wait for her sister to come back." Xi Muyu "giggled", Xi Muyun looked at her deeply, and the haze in her heart was like a breeze, and it all dispersed in an instant.
After drying the potato flour, Xi Muyun took his sister to eat and left for Qi Lichen, and when he got to the door, he turned back and took a few sweet potatoes before going out satisfied.
It has been five days since the last time I went to Qi Lichen, and the two of them have not seen each other or said a word in the five days.
When someone said that Qi Lichen was talking about him, Xi Muyun pricked up his ears to listen, and learned that Qi Lichen hadn't taken a step out of the door these days.
Xi Muyun thought about it, since he was sick, he couldn't have no one around to watch, what if he died?
"Qi Lichen, are you up?" Xi Muyun knocked on the courtyard door and looked through the fence, but there was no one in the courtyard.
Bai Ye sat on the bench in the room to rest and recuperate, Xi Muyun's voice came, and Bai Ye's closed eyes suddenly opened.
There was no movement in the room for a long time, Xi Muyun pondered for a while, and his lips opened slightly.
"I don't know what you're planning in your heart, but the marriage contract is a matter for two people, so we need to sit down and talk about it, I, I have something to say!"
Xi Muyun said sonorously and forcefully, and those who didn't know thought that he was going to testify in court. Xi Muyun stared at the door tightly, and made up her mind that if Qi Lichen still didn't see her, she would definitely break in.
"Squeak" The closed door slowly opened under Xi Muyun's gaze, and a man with a jade tree in the wind walked out from behind the door.
It was Qi Lichen, who had not been seen for many days, his demeanor was still the same, he was not a little sick, and he seemed to be recovering well, Xi Muyun thought secretly.
"If you have anything to say, say it." Qi Lichen's voice was slightly tired, but fortunately it was not as hoarse as that day.
Xi Muyun's heart was slightly lowered, pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, keeping a distance from Qi Lichen.
Even if they have a marriage contract, it is better to be cautious when they get along with lonely men and widows in a secluded courtyard.
"Is it because of the marriage contract between us that you refused the marriage of the county daughter?" Xi Muyun looked at Qi Lichen fixedly, and got straight to the point.
Qi Lichen looked at the chirping birds in the treetops, and kept his mouth shut and didn't answer, I don't know if he didn't think about it or didn't want to answer.
"The marriage between us was originally set by my father, if it was to repay the favor, it was not necessary, you would have to pay it back long ago, and I agree to cancel this marriage."
Xi Muyun's waist was straight, and she did not avoid Qi Lichen's sight, she had to find a way to cancel this marriage, and the county order wanted to give her daughter to Qi Lichen, just so that Xi Muyun could push the boat down the river.
As everyone knows, Qi Lichen saw through Xi Muyun's careful thinking at a glance, and he couldn't refuse: "You are too careful, I have my own considerations about the county order, and it has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to put pressure on yourself, I won't marry the daughter of the county order." ”
Xi Muyun's face twitched, and he secretly complained in his heart, it doesn't matter if Qi Lichen marries the county daughter, he can marry anyone, as long as it's not her.
Qi Lichen is not a thing in the pool, in this kind of feudal society with three wives and four concubines, they are good business partners, and they still can't get married.
Xi Muyun licked his dry lips, and was speechless for a while, and said with a thief heart: "Actually, I don't mind, really." ”
Qi Lichen put his hands behind his back and smiled.
"Since Twilight Cloud understands the righteousness so well, our marriage is over."
