Volume I: Ancient. Dream Frontier Chapter 49 Pick-up Poem¹

The dark sky is dotted with sparse stars, and a bright moon hangs in half of the sky.

The lights in Chang'an City are lit, swaying and emitting a dim and unknown light, illuminating the streets and alleys.

In Uncle Guo's mansion, the young man who promised to carry the food box and led people in passed by.

The eldest grandson glanced at the promise that passed by him, and found that the promise was dressed very strangely, turned his head to look out and said to the promise, "Stop." ”

As soon as Xu Promise arrived outside the kitchen door, a hearty male voice sounded behind her, and Xu Promise subconsciously stopped, lowered his head, and stood in place.

Changsun Chong looked at Xu Promise, walked over slowly, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?" ”

Xu Yue looked at the dark gray clothes that slowly appeared in front of him, and the young man's voice sounded in his ears.

"Hey! What do I ask you? Eldest Sun Chong looked at the promise that was silent with his head down, and asked loudly.

"I'm here to fetch pastries for the girl." Xu Yu lowered his head and thought about it, and responded casually.

"Fetch my sister pastries?" The eldest grandson looked at the promise with his head down, and responded to him without raising his head, and he asked again with a smile.

"Yes." Xu Yu raised his head and looked at Changsun Chong's calm response.

"Ahem..., are you, are you a fire maid?" The eldest grandson Chong looked at the promise's face, which was stained with a few gray marks, and asked with a smile.

Xu Promise looked at him and his maid, they were all looking at themselves, covering their mouths and holding back a smile, Xu Promise raised his hand suspiciously, touched his face, looked down at his hand again, and didn't find anything on his hand, which was even more strange about their actions.

"Ahem, you clothes?" Changsun Chong looked at the clothes on Xu Yue's body, cleared his throat, and asked suspiciously.

Xu Yu listened to him, only to realize that he was not wearing a coat, so he ran over, looked down at the clothes on his body, the corners of his mouth slowly curled, and said in his heart that this dress is almost the same as the maid's clothes, hehe!

Xu Yu was a little proud in his heart, smiled at the eldest grandson Chong, and said flatly: "The fire maid, it is inevitable that the clothes will be dirty, so the slave and maid will go down and change into clean clothes." ”

"Where's the girl's ice cream?" Suddenly, there was a maid's questioning voice from the kitchen.

"Hey! What do you want to do, did I tell you to go? The eldest grandson Chong grabbed the collar of the promise and asked suspiciously.

Although the eldest grandson Chong was one or two years younger than Xu Yue, he was a head taller than Xu Yue, standing behind Xu Yue, just in time to be able to lift Xu Yue's collar.

When he heard this voice, he was frightened, and he was about to run away, who knew that he was caught by Changsun Chong, and when he heard Changsun Chong's question, he turned his head, looked at Changsun Chong with a half-upward gaze, and said with a smile: "Childe, I'll go down and change clothes." ”

"This sister, can I take a look at your food box?" I don't know when, the maid who asked the girl about the pastry just now walked out of the kitchen, walked up to Xu Promise, and asked politely.

"Nope." Xu Yu hurriedly put the food box, hugged it tightly in his arms, and said fiercely to the girl.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Xu Yu looked at the food box in his arms, was picked up by the eldest grandson, and hurriedly shouted.

"Here, see what's inside." The eldest grandson Chong carried the food box, handed it to the maid waiting beside him, and said flatly.

Xu Promise watched as the things he took were taken out by them in the same way, and sighed helplessly.

"Childe, this is the girl's ice cake." The maid of Changsun Wei said to Changsun Chong with a frost cake.

The eldest grandson Chong took the ice cake, turned to Xu Promise, looked at Xu Promise and lowered his head again, and asked gently, "What do you say?" ”

"Childe, please, let me go! My mother was sick, and before she died, she wanted to eat a bite of pastry, and I had no choice but to do this. Childe, please let me go! I don't dare. Xu Yu suddenly tugged at Changsun Chong's clothes and cried.

"Hey, you, don't cry! I didn't say what I wanted to do with you! The eldest grandson Chong pushed away the promise and comforted him in embarrassment.

"Thank you, Childe." Xu Yu hurriedly wiped away the tears that had not yet flowed, bowed his head and said.

"Jingmi, come and see, is it the chicken soup she picked up from you?" The eldest grandson Chong saw that he promised not to cry anymore, and said to the maid behind him.

Xu Yu watched the eldest grandson Chong say this to the maid, and scolded in his heart, is this person sick? It's been a long time, and it's only now that I've gotten into the topic. Waste my time.

"Yes, Childe. It's just that just now, her face wasn't so dirty. The maid lowered her head and said slowly.

When Xu Promise heard her words, he suddenly realized, and said in his heart that they were laughing at themselves because there was ash on their faces! It must have been accidentally touched by cleaning up the house just now.

Xu Promise thought in his heart, looked around, wanted to find a bucket to wash his face, and after looking at it for a long time, he found that it was all in the kitchen.

Xu Promise turned around and wanted to go into the kitchen, but was stopped by Changsun Chong, who looked back at Changsun Chong, and heard him say to Xu Promise: "What are you doing, I haven't spoken yet!" ”

"Wash your face." After making a promise, he shook off his hand vigorously, walked into the kitchen, scooped a scoop of water in the bucket, poured it into the basin on the side, rolled up his sleeves, bent down to hold a handful of water, and washed his face.

As soon as Xu Promise straightened up, she felt that someone had walked up to her, and hurriedly turned around, and saw the eldest grandson Chong leading and his maid walking in.

The maid of the eldest grandson looked at the people in the room and found that no one was paying attention to her, so she turned around and left.

Xu Yue looked at Changsun Chong, who was sitting in front of her by the maid, sighed, and said, "I took your soup, and I also took those pastries." ”

"Huh! You'll admit it. The eldest grandson said with a smile.

"What do you want, tell me, I'm going back to sleep!" Xu asked flatly.

"What do you want, hehe! You can really say it. It's the first time I've seen a maid like you! The eldest grandson said.

"Don't be a maid, maid, if you don't know who I am, you can ask your mother." Xu Yu looked around, found a stool, held it opposite Changsun Chong, sat down and said.

"Childe, she seems to be the second girl who picked up today." The eldest grandson rushed to the maid beside him, lowered his head and whispered in his ear.

Xu Yu looked at Changsun Chong's maid, and after whispering a few words in Changsun Chong's ear, he straightened up and said with a smile: "Now you know who I am!" ”

"Huh! It turned out to be you, and I said how you resemble your sister. The eldest grandson said coldly, stunned for a moment, and turned his head to signal to the maid beside him.

Xu Promise looked at his maid and slowly walked over to her, Xu Promise hurriedly stood up, and said loudly: "Slow, I came back but your mother picked me up, if you do it to me, I think Aunt Ru will also punish you!" ”

"Wait." The eldest grandson Chong bowed to his maid and said.

Xu Promise saw that the eldest grandson Chong called his maid back again, sat down again with a smile, and said, "If you don't do something to me, I guess the anger in your heart will not go down." How about we gentlemen who don't move their mouths and don't do anything!"

"Okay, how do you say you don't move your hands?" Eldest Sun Chong sneered and replied casually.

"Let's take the poem! This is a simple point. Xu Yu looked at Changsun Chong and said.

"Good! You come first, pay me back. When Changsun Chong heard the promise's proposal, he smiled in his heart, and said to the poem, you are a girl in the boudoir who can beat me.

"Hey, hey! Of course, I'll do it first. Xu Promise smiled and said, seeing that the eldest grandson nodded approvingly, Xu Promise cleared his throat, looked at the kitchen, and saw that everyone put down the work in their hands, and said calmly: "Whatever you see." ”

"Yes, yes! I'm right: 'The rules are in it'. Eldest Sun Chong thought for a while and said.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wei, who was exchanged by the maid, walked outside the kitchen door and heard them receiving poems, and suddenly had an idea, and said in his heart, Mother, is still worried about the banquet in a few days, isn't this a good idea.

The eldest grandson smiled, turned around and left, the maid looked at the house suspiciously, and hurriedly followed the eldest grandson.

After a while, the eldest grandson Wei came to Mrs. Ru's yard, walked outside the door, and after the maid was clear, she slowly walked in.

"Mother." The eldest grandson Wei Shili said.

"Wei'er, it's so late, why did you come to me." Mrs. Ru handed the embroidered frame in her hand to Mama Ni, got up and greeted her and asked.

"Mother, hasn't Father come back yet?" The eldest grandson looked around slightly, and asked if he didn't find the figure of the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Your father has just come back, and he is a little busy with business." Mrs. Ru said, pulling the eldest grandson to sit down.

Eldest Sun Wei: "Oh! Mother, I have come to tell you that the banquet in a few days can be used to invite the girls and women with poems. ”

Mrs. Ru: "Yes! That's good, my micro is smart. ”

"Mother, you've won the prize." The eldest grandson said slightly shyly.

The eldest grandson suddenly thought of his younger brother, who was still with Xu Yue! Hurriedly said, "Mother, there is one more thing. ”

Madame: "You say." ”

The eldest grandson said cautiously: "That, when I came just now, I passed by the kitchen and found my younger brother and second sister together. ”

Mrs. Ru asked in surprise, "Can you see clearly?" Mrs. Ru looked at the eldest grandson and nodded slightly, and hurriedly turned her head to Mama Ni and said, "You go and take a look, send that kid back, and tell him not to have anything to do with that girl." ”

Mama Ni retreated, and after a while, she came to the kitchen, and when she entered the courtyard, she heard the promise say: "The lights are burning and the night is shining in all directions." ”

"This, this ......," the eldest grandson muttered as he lowered his head.

The maid beside him found that Mama Ni had walked in and hurriedly gave a salute, and the eldest grandson looked at it subconsciously and hurriedly got up and gave a salute.

"Hey! Are you okay? No, I'm leaving. As he spoke, he got up and prepared to leave.

"Childe, Madame asked the old slave to send you back." Mama Ni looked at the eldest grandson who was about to call the promise, and said to Chong Shili.

"Ahh Okay, there's Mama Lao. The eldest grandson Chong saluted Mama Ni, turned to Xu and said, "When I think of it, I will go to you." ”

"Childe, please!" Mama Ni said to the eldest grandson Chong in a gesture of invitation.

Seeing that Changsun Chong nodded, walked out, glanced at the promise, turned around and followed Changsun Chong away.

Xu Promise watched them all leave, walked to the table, picked up the food box, took some pastries, looked at the kitchen maids around him, wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, smiled, turned around with the food box, and left happily.
