"Of course I remember," she laughs, "it was April and the sun was at its mildest. Daddy brought you to give me lessons, I was trying the piano, I didn't apply oil, I cut my fingers, you helped me bandage and moisten the strings for me. I think you're very good-looking, and at the beginning of spring, you're dizzy. ”

Zong Xuanyi was amused by her: "I didn't expect that at that time, you were already coveting my beauty at a young age." ”

Nalan Jinxiu's face flushed, and she quickly shook her head, and denied it incoherently: "No, no, really not." ”

"The first time I said it wasn't this time. ”

"Isn't it?" she wondered, "When was that?"

"I remember one time when I was passing by from school, I saw you asking the maids to hold on to the ladder and climb the wall to cut the plum blossoms outside the courtyard. ”

Nalan Jinxiu can't remember anything too long ago, after all, she was still young at that time, and Zong Xuanyi, who was three years older than her, should already be a teenager. She had a black line on her face, and the first time we met, she was so unruly?

"I want to come to Jinling and everyone knows your mansion, and Taifu has no children under his knees, just your daughter, I thought that such a stubborn woman would not be able to marry in the future. ”

"You can't get married!"

"Well, I naturally can't get married. He laughed seriously.

Nalan Jinxiu found that he was always teased by him, so he pretended to explain calmly: "The plum trees outside the yard were planted by my father for my mother, and my mother loved and protected me to the extreme, and never let people break them. ”

"Hmm...... If you like plum blossoms, your husband will plant a piece for you, and you can fold it to play when you have nothing to do. ”

"Not coaxing?"

"No, I don't coax. As he spoke, he tore her quilt and took her into his arms.

Nalan Jinxiu looked at Zong Xuanyi timidly like a frightened rabbit, he looked at her and smiled lowly, and said, "Close your eyes." ”

She had always listened to him very much, and closed her eyes obediently, so she didn't see the black ink under his eyes, which obscured his usual warmth and elegance. For her, who had just reached the end of the day, Zong Xuanyi's movements were probably a little rude, and she frowned. He lowered his head, a shallow kiss fell on her eyebrows, and called her Jin'er soothingly.

Jin'er is the name of Nalan Jinxiu, only her mother calls her like this, and her father only calls her like this when she was sick when she was a child, coaxing her. Her heart was so soft that she couldn't talk for a while, she felt that he was hot, and sweat was dripping on her forehead, he should be very uncomfortable! Stretching out her slender lotus arm, she grabbed his neck, kissed his cheek affectionately, and whispered to him: "Brother Jiu...... Brother Jiu......"

Zong Xuanyi looked down at her, her sideburns were messy, her snow-white little face was sunk in the red quilt, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, which looked a little pitiful......

After a long time, Nalan Jinxiu felt that she was really tired. Since she started preparing for the wedding a few days ago, she has not had a good rest, and at this time she was even more dizzy, and she fell asleep as soon as her spirit relaxed.

Zong Xuanyi tied up the hair stuck to her face for her, and then hugged her to take a bath, Nalan Jinxiu woke up and said in a daze: "Brother Jiu, don't move, I'm so sleepy......"

He shook his head helplessly, called the maidservant who was guarding the outer room, and commanded, "Madame, be tired, and your hands and feet should be lighter when you serve." ”

The maidservants' movements were very soft, but Nalan Jinxiu was still woken up, so she could only cooperate with the bath. When I came out after bathing, I saw Zong Xuanyi leaning on the couch reading a book, the dancing candle flame made him even more gentle and jade, she smiled, her ninth brother, her husband, was born so good-looking.

Zong Xuanyi looked up and saw her eyes stupid, and sighed helplessly: "Don't look at me like that......"

She was puzzled, he had already retired from the maidservant, and the two of them were lying on the bed again, but Nalan Jinxiu felt thirsty. She didn't have the habit of drinking water at night, so she thought she had just sweated. She wanted to drink water, and then thought that now she was no longer the young lady in the Taifu Mansion, but Zong Xuanyi's wife. There seemed to be a lot of rules to follow, so she could only endure it, tossing and turning and not falling asleep.

"What's wrong, not sleepy?" he opened his eyes and looked at her helplessly.

"No, I'm going to sleep. "She's lying.

He looked at her with the light of the pair of dragon and phoenix candles outside the bed curtain, Qing Lingling's eyes did not have any sleepiness, thinking that she recognized the bed and couldn't sleep in a different place, so he leaned over and picked her up, patting her and coaxing her like a child.

She leaned on his arms, her heart was very calm and peaceful, and she said softly: "Brother Jiu, in fact, I am thirsty. ”

He sighed lowly, got up, asked her to get up too, and said in a gentle tone: "There is a flower tea you like here, I'll make you a cup." ”

Nalan Jinxiu thought about it, it didn't seem to be very proper for him to serve her, if it was passed on to Mrs. Zong, would she dislike her? She felt that Brother Jiu's mother didn't seem to like her very much.

Probably seeing her concerns, he went outside to make tea and handed it to her, and said softly: "Drink!"

She got up to get out of bed, but he stopped her, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My mother said you can't eat in bed. ”

"Haven't you always liked to eat in bed?" he chuckled at her childish appearance.

She flashed her eyes and replied as she should: "My mother said that after getting married, I will be an adult, and I can't be so childish anymore." ”
