Chapter 58: Be Yourself

"How are you?" Ling Xiao's expression was as gloomy as a sunny day, staring at the comer, "Who called you here?" β€œ

Yun Xiu is very familiar with this kind of change in him, either angry or extremely displeased, in short, it is not a good thing.

The other party was really frightened, raised the towel in his hand, and said: "I just asked the county lord to say goodbye, she didn't see you, let me come to find it, saying that it was windy today, and I was afraid of sweating and getting cold." β€œ

"I see." Ling Xiao pulled the handkerchief with one hand, turned his head and handed it to Yun Xiu, "You wipe it for me." β€œ

Yun Xiu was stunned at the moment, she looked at Ling Xiao, and then at the girl with a blushing face, and decided not to wade into the troubled water, but to squat, "Master Hou has a guest, and the little girl retires." β€œ

After speaking, without waiting for words to speak, he ran away with his skirt.

Rabbits, run so fast!

Ling Xiao was not happy to be disturbed by someone, but now he likes to run, and the pestle that is an eyesore is in place, and the sharp eyes he unconsciously revealed seem to be about to eat people.

"Well, I'll go too." The obnoisseur was quieter, "You play more carefully." β€œ

Ling Xiao didn't know that his mother had a crush on Yun Xiu. What does it mean to call the Li family over, and stop the other party, "Li Miao, did my mother tell you?" β€œ

Li Miao shook her head lightly, bit her lip, and turned her head away.

This is where Ling Xiao doesn't like it, the lord of Pingkang County will never instruct people for no reason, the same thing changes Yun Xiu's head, affirming what he asks, what she answers, and when he encounters an unhappy stab, he coaxes, coaxes once, can't coax twice, and can always pass.

But Li Miao is different. asked her if she didn't say it at the moment, turned her head and cried with her family, a girl, a young master, who didn't know the truth, naturally thought that the girl was bullied, and the young master was spitted on.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao felt quite sorry for Yun Xiu, he had never bullied other girls ruthlessly, even if Li Miao was a room full of people who humiliated him and said that he would withdraw from the marriage, he did not retaliate.

In the second half of the ball, Ling Xiao played absent-mindedly, and every time he approached the stands, he found that Yun Xiu was also absent-minded and didn't watch the ball at all.

He couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart. In the end, it was the first impression of the county lord of Pingkang that gave her a dismount, or Li Miao's sudden appearance made her make other guesses.

"Ling Xiao! Watch the ball! β€œ

A teammate was playing in the middle of the game, and when he saw that he was going to lose, he grabbed the ball, slammed it, and made a through pass.

The ball was too violent, and went straight to Ling Xiao's door, he was distracted and thought about things, instinctively leaned back to avoid it, only to hear the crisp sound, the polo fell into the stands, knocked over the two teacups on the table, and sprinkled Yun Xiu impartially.

"Can't play! The eyes are long! Ling Xiao roared, the other party thought that he had almost hit the stage of the Pingkang County Lord, and hurriedly came over to apologize.

He didn't bother to listen to the explanation, hurriedly dismounted, threw the whip to his teammates, and hurried to the stands in three steps and two steps.

"Are you alright? Is it hot? When Ling Xiao arrived, Yun Xiu just came down.

Yun Xiu smiled at him, and then raised his head and said to the county lord of Pingkang: "Your Royal Highness, the little girl went back to change her clothes, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to watch the game with you, but my second sister and second brother-in-law are here, and they will come over to accompany you later." β€œ

The county lord of Pingkang bowed slightly, "You go, be careful on the road." β€œ

Yun Xiu'an squatted to leave, Ling Xiao followed her, and asked without eyesight, "You show me, is it hot?" β€œ

"Master Hou, I'm really fine." Yun Xiu gave him a look and motioned to go back, but the other party seemed to be invisible.

"What about Qi Yuheng and your sister?" Ling Xiao looked around, "Why don't you see the two of you?" β€œ

Yun Xiu guessed that the couple had a rare chance to be alone, and they went to a match made in heaven, "Master Hou, the game is not over, take care of the game first, and don't care about the others." β€œ

Ling Xiao didn't take two steps, and the voice of the county lord of Pingkang came from behind him, "Son, those boys on the field are calling you." β€œ

Ming asked him to go back.

"Half an hour later, see you at the Chengdong Teahouse last time, you must come." Ling Xiao turned his head and whispered a quick word to Yun Xiu, squeezed his soft jade hand again while he was unprepared, and left satisfied.

The residual warmth of the palm seemed to be engraved into his heart, Yun Xiu smiled shyly, and went to the outfield alone.

It was as she expected, and a few steps away from the carriage, she heard a strange noise inside, and she was a little panicked and coughed lightly.

The car was really quiet for a while, and after a while, Qi Yuheng opened a corner curtain and smiled uncomfortably, "Eighth sister went back so early?" β€œ

Yun Xiu changed the topic and resolved the embarrassment: "Just now the ball hit the stands, and the tea splashed dirty clothes, so I simply went back." The county lord of Pingkang is still there, and I greeted the county lord when I left, saying that you will accompany her for a while. β€œ

"It's okay, you're not interested, I'll go back and take a nap." Yun Ying pinched her neckline and poked her head out, leaving a touch of crimson on her cheeks, "If you want to meet Mrs. Lu, just say that we will go back after watching the ball game." β€œ

Yun Xiu nodded and got into another Qi family carriage.

I can't sleep in the afternoon, Ling Xiao's temper is the same, if she doesn't go to the appointment, Qi Yuheng and Yun Ying are not in the mansion today, and they can't go directly to the door.

After eating and changing clothes, I hurried over, and just entered the private room, suddenly a tall shadow shrouded her, and a warm and strong embrace hugged her tightly.

Yun Xiu was stunned, and Qi Er laughed: "You didn't go back to change your clothes?" A smell of sweat. β€œ

"Really? How I can't smell it. Ling Xiao let go of her, leaned on his arm and sniffed for a long time, and asked, "Does it stink?" β€œ

Yun Xiu pulled him to sit down, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Everyone and girls say that it is windy today, and I am afraid that you will sweat and get cold." β€œ

"You remember a stranger's words clearly." Ling Xiao was thirsty, and a cup bottomed out, "How much do you remember my words?" β€œ

Yun Xiu poured him another glass and laughed: "I will remember other people's words, and I will remember all your words." β€œ

"That's pretty much it." Ling Xiao smacked his lips, pulled her to sit on his lap, and hesitated to ask, "What's wrong with you at the horse farm today?" Absent-minded, what to think, tell me. β€œ

Yun Xiu knew that he didn't give up, and sighed, "I didn't think about anything." β€œ

"Really?" Ling Xiao didn't believe it, "You've seen my mother before, and there's another thing, I didn't think I had anything to say." But today you see it, and I'll mention it. β€œ

Yun Xiu was ingenious and exquisite, and said, "Is it the girl who came to give you a towel?" β€œ

Ling Xiao rubbed his chin on her shoulder: "Well, are you unhappy because she came?" β€œ

"I'm not upset," Yun Xiu couldn't laugh or cry, "You think I'm delicious?" β€œ

Ling Xiao raised his head to look at her, "Isn't it?" β€œ

"I don't even know that girl, what it tastes like." Yun Xiu laughed, "Besides, it is not surprising that you have a few admirers based on your identity, appearance, and family background, and the girl likes you, and I am too late to be happy, which proves that I have a good vision." β€œ

"Do you really think so?" Ling Xiao was skeptical, how could he never see such a generous girl before.

Yun Xiu's index finger tapped the tip of his nose, "Lie to you, who doesn't want to have a deep love for the sword, grow old, and stay together for a lifetime." β€œ

Ling Xiao grabbed her hand and held it in the palm of his hand: "I should answer you." β€œ

Yun Xiu blinked and deliberately teased him: "What should I do." β€œ

Ling Xiao repeated, "Therefore, the sword is deeply loved, and the white head is old, and we will stay together for a lifetime." β€œ

"That's what you said."

"Hmm."

Ling Xiao lowered his head, the two of them breathed and entangled with each other, no longer like the previous few rampages, slowly, slowly, like soaking in warm and rippling spring water, overflowing the heart, indulging in it.

Yun Xiu felt his tenderness for the first time, and unconsciously hugged the other party's neck and catered to him.

Outside the window, the willow trees are clustered, swaying lightly with the wind, and layers of waves are shining on the surface of the moat, like glowing scales jumping in the field of vision, the spring breeze is warm, and the spring breeze is warm.

After a while, Yun Xiu lowered his head, his breathing was tingling, and Ling Xiao felt like he was being burned.

"Bring the keys to the house," he said in a hoarse voice, "now it's over." β€œ

Yun Xiu had already felt the changes in his body, and hesitated for a moment. Promised.

The courtyard is very ordinary, without the embellishment of red tiles and green plants, and there is not even an aromatherapy stove in the house except for the whole set of yellow rosewood furnishings.

Ling Xiao was impatient to put her on the couch and listened to her giggle.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm so bored with the Hou Ye laughing," Yun Xiu hooked his neck, one shoe hanging on his toes, "You haven't brought a girl here before, have you?" β€œ

"Nope." Ling Xiao didn't care about flirting, and pounced, "You will be alone in the future." β€œ

The words of tenderness and sweetness are so sweet that they are not too much.

Yun Xiu's body was not fragrant with pomelo flowers, Ling Xiao didn't know what the fragrance was, it penetrated into his nose and penetrated deep into his heart, eager to pick out all the three souls and seven spirits.

From three quarters in the afternoon to three quarters before the hour, close to Shen, this madness gradually subsided.

Yun Xiu was so tired that she didn't want to move, and she didn't even know when she had multiple quilts on her body.

The person next to her fell asleep, and so did she.

When I woke up again, the sun was setting in the west, and the light in the house was dim.

Yun Xiuer was sober, got up suddenly, and touched his clothes everywhere.

Ling Xiao was woken up by her, and in a daze, he scooped up the people around him, and found that they were gone, so he was extremely reluctant to open his eyes, "What are you doing?" β€œ

"I'm going back!" Yun Xiu's eager voice was a little crying, "It's over." It's over, the second sister must know that I ran out to find you, she will hate you to death, I, I??"

Before the words fell, a hot embrace caught her off guard.

Ling Xiao's voice came from her chest, "She knows that she knows that she hates and hates, and she hasn't said a few good words about me before." β€œ

"Don't embarrass me." Yun Xiu hugged her lean waist, raised her head and said, "It's all my dearest and beloved, she said that you are not good, and I am uncomfortable." β€œ

"Distressed?"

"Hmm."

"Don't go back," Ling Xiao smiled, "I'll raise you." β€œ

"What nonsense!" Yun Xiu pushed him away, "What's the difference between that and the outer room, you are a bully when I am lonely and unheard." β€œ

"Whoever dares to bully you, I will kill him." Ling Xiao's mouth was like honey, "I miss you too much, I want you to come over at night, just the two of us, it's okay if you don't chat." β€œ

"Can't you get tired of talking every day?" Yun Xiu saw the polyester belt thrown on the table of the Eight Immortals, took it, and said while tying it, "If you really marry you, you have to watch me for decades, so it's better to look at it less now and leave it for later." β€œ

"It's not easy for others to say, but if you change it, you won't." Ling Xiao polished the folds of the fire, lit the lampshade and put on the cover, and packed up his clothes, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, I have already sent someone to send a message to Qi Yuheng in the afternoon, saying that I will take you to visit the night market in the east of the city, a scene in the capital, from mid-spring to the end of summer, and cancel the curfew for a few months." β€œ

"Where's the night market, Lord Hou?" Yun Xiu deliberately provoked him, "The dignified and loyal Hou is unbelievable." β€œ

"Want to shop?" Ling Xiao asked seriously, "It's just in time to go out now." β€œ

Yun Xiu shook his head: "Next time, I'm tired all afternoon, and my legs are sore." β€œ

Ling Xiao glanced down her slender waist and leaned closer, "Be comfortable today, listen to your voice so cheerful." β€œ

"You're dead!" Yun Xiu pushed him hard and glared at him fiercely, "No face and no skin, full of meat words." β€œ

After that, make sure you get dressed and open the door and go out.

Ling Xiao hurriedly put on his coat, "What are you shy!" β€œ

Fortunately, the small house is sprinkled and cleaned regularly, which will be no one.

Ling Xiao was wearing pants and a coat, and the scene of scurrying around the yard reminded people of Ximenqing, who was full of evil.

Of course, Yun Xiu couldn't shout "Come and catch me" without shame, she was so annoyed that she ran out of sweat, sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, and asked while panting: "Aren't you tired?" β€œ

Ling Xiao was making a lot of noise, "I'm not tired, it's much easier than marching." β€œ

"I'm tired," Yun Xiu lay on the stone table and looked at him, "Master Hou is not tired, I'm tired of pouring a cup of tea." β€œ

Ling Xiao was stunned and pointed at himself.

Yun Xiu nodded as a matter of course: "Master Hou should only pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and pour a cup of tea is not too much." β€œ

Not too much, of course not too much, anyway, there is a chance to get it back.

Ling Xiao came out with a teapot and two cups, how heroic his posture was.

"Forget it, I'll do it." Yun Xiu was overjoyed, "How can you let Master Hou serve people." β€œ

There were only two of them at the moment, Ling Xiao didn't care, he laughed and had a happy afternoon, and finally remembered what was going on.

Regarding the Li family and the divorce, even if he doesn't say it himself, Yun Ying won't hide it for too long.

This kind of thing coming out of other people's mouths will inevitably add fuel and vinegar, and it is better for the parties themselves to confess.

Where does Ling Xiao want to start, first talk about the Li family or first talk about divorce?

"Xiuxiu, just the girl you saw today," he thought it would be better to talk about Li Miao first, "It's the third girl of the Li family, I don't know if Yun Ying has mentioned it to you, she and I were engaged and divorced last year." β€œ

"I said that girl dared to call you by your name," Yun Xiu didn't seem surprised, "No wonder you think that I eat it, because you have a ghost in your heart." β€œ

"I'm not a ghost," Ling Xiao said truthfully, "I hope you eat it, at least prove that you care." β€œ

Yun Xiu smiled: "You have to eat well, dare to ask Master Hou, in addition to being engaged, when you are with her, are you like me?" β€œ

Ling Xiao said no.

Yun Xiu asked again: "Do you have deep affection for her?" β€œ

Ling Xiao shook his head: "It's not deep." β€œ

Yun Xiu finally asked: "If Miss Li wants to rebuild the old good, will Master Hou agree?" β€œ

Ling Xiao replied categorically, impossible.

"Then what do I eat," Yun Xiu added water to the cup, "Why did you withdraw from the marriage, can you say?" β€œ

Ling Xiao thought for a while, "Li Miao's mother is my cousin, this girl, I don't like it much, and I don't dislike it, last year, the Ministry of Industry Xie supervised the death of the officer, I won't go into details, the Li family was involved, and then withdrew from the marriage, the reason is to not affect the Ling family." β€œ

Sounds affectionate and righteous, Yun Xiu said: "If you don't go into the water at the critical moment, it is also a righteous act." β€œ

"Righteous deeds?" Ling Xiao's eyes turned cold, "Righteous fart, my mother enters the palace every three or five times to accompany the Empress Dowager to drink tea, and kindly inquires for the Li family, it is not as serious as they say." β€œ

Yun Xiu asked, "Then why?" β€œ

Ling Xiao felt ashamed when he said it, "I don't know which bullshit person I heard that I bullied Li Miao, and I didn't even touch a single hair of her." β€œ

Yun Xiuxin said seven points and left three points, "You haven't touched a single hair of others, you can't say that you are bullying." β€œ

"Oh, just drink too much and kiss her." Ling Xiao couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, "At that time, she was my fiancΓ©e, and the two families often moved around, what's wrong with me kissing her?" I'm going to sleep in a pit in the future! β€œ

Yun Xiu felt that it was not so simple, "Just because of this? β€œ

"That's it!" Ling Xiao said that her tooth socket hurt, "It's a big fart, she doesn't like it, I don't touch it, it's good for her, go back and tell her brother, her brother's two or five eyes turned his head and told his parents that the Li family was afraid of offending us, and that Cheng Zi happened to have an accident, so he pushed the boat back and forth." β€œ

As for the confrontation between the two families facing each other with gongs and drums, Li Miao counted him in detail and caused him to eat and hang, Ling Xiao remembered to block his heart. I don't want to mention it.

"But I don't think she's as bad to you as you say she is." Yun Xiu had seen Ling Xiao's bastard, and was somewhat unconvinced, "Maybe the temperament is not harmonious, and the county lord of Pingkang didn't dislike her, and asked her to bring you a towel." β€œ

"My mother looks at her relatives and doesn't care about her juniors." Ling Xiao sighed, "Anyway, this matter is over, let's talk about it first, no matter what you hear in the future, don't mess with me about this matter." β€œ

"That depends on whether you explain it clearly," Yun Xiu got up and sat on his lap, smiling coquettishly, "I'll hear the omission in the future." I also learn from Miss Li, and I won't let you touch a single hair hair. β€œ

"You dare." Ling Xiao hugged her waist, "This kind of thing is not up to you." β€œ

The two laughed for a while, Yun Xiu leaned on his shoulder, and said coldly: "But I think Miss Li appeared because she missed the old love." β€œ

"Who knows." Ling Xiao's color made her mind faint, "She loves whoever she misses." β€œ

"Will the lord of Pingkang also miss the old love?" Yun Xiu began to talk, "After all, your two families are relatives. β€œ

Ling Xiao sighed: "I told you that it was impossible, and you still said that you didn't care, and asked around the corner." β€œ

Speaking of this, he remembered something and patted Yun Xiu's back, "My mother may have seen the clue, so I'll ask you if you're hot." She saw it all. β€œ

Rubbing the back of the ass and asking, can you not guess what's going on?

Yun Xiu thought that the worst was nothing more than that, "Did Lord Pingkang say anything?" β€œ

"Nope." Ling Xiao asked rhetorically, "What do you want my mother to say?" β€œ

"What can I think," Yun Xiu lowered his eyes, not apprehensive or expecting to be a lie, "The words of the matchmaker of the parents, can I join you, the elders always nod." β€œ

"What I've said remains the same." Ling Xiao reassured her, "It's a big deal to apply for border guards and take you away, it's just that the environment over there is bad, and I don't want you to suffer." β€œ

"It's good that you have me in mind." Yun Xiu thought that this was enough, even if he couldn't cash it out in the future, it would not be in vain to love vigorously.

***

Halfway through the unitary hour, the white wick of the paper lantern in the Ling Mansion was burning brightly.

Ling Xiao came in from the Hanging Flower Gate and listened to the little maid's report that the county lord of Pingkang went to the palace to accompany the empress dowager to listen to the play in the afternoon.

"It's busy every day." He waved his hand and raised his feet to the front yard, intending to mention Yun Xiu's matter to the old man.

The little girl didn't leave, and followed behind and said, "Little Hou Ye, there is another matter, the girl of the Li family is here, and she is eating tea in the flower hall." β€œ

Ling Xiao frowned, "I didn't tell her that the county lord entered the palace and asked Ming'er to come again." β€œ

"That's it," the little girl frowned and said, "The girl of the Li family said that she would wait for the little marquis to you." β€œ

"Let her wait." Ling Xiao didn't think much about it and went to the study.

The old man was reading a book, and when he saw him come in, he didn't wait for him to speak, but said first: "The girl is waiting for you in the flower hall for an hour and a half, say hello to someone first, it's your cousin." β€œ

The words on his lips were blocked back, Ling Xiao thought, yes, don't do blackface, he will do it.

Li Miao didn't expect Ling Xiao to be willing to see her, so she hurriedly put down the teacup and welcomed her out.

"This is my house, you sit." Ling Xiao stopped two steps away from her, his face cold. "What's the matter with me?"

"It's nothing special," Li Miao sat in the circle chair and looked like she wanted to speak, "I just want to see how you have been lately?" β€œ

"Eat well and sleep well," Ling Xiao sat near the door, and gave the order to evict the guest, "It's nothing, I'll call the carriage to send you back, it's night, it's not good to stay with me for a long time, so as not to worry your parents and brother." β€œ

"You're still blaming me." Li Miao stood up and took a few steps forward.

Ling Xiao immediately got up and stood under the porch, "Let you go back, for your sake, or else." I'll call your brother to pick you up now, and I'll rest assured that he's protecting you. β€œ

After speaking, he asked the little guy to run errands and pass the word.

"You! You! Li Miao's face turned white and blue for a while, "Was it wrong to talk about your shortcomings at the beginning?" Today, I see that you are much softer than I am when talking to other girls. β€œ

"So I promised to get out of the marriage, and I was still not satisfied with the joke at the dinner table for three months?" Ling Xiao said unhurriedly, "I reflected afterwards, my biggest mistake was not to kiss you, but not to throw you on the kang." β€œ

"You! You! Hopeless! Li Miao covered her face and ran away.

Ling Xiao stared at her back, his gaze like a blade rubbing snow, "What's it, really treat yourself as fragrant." β€œ

Li Miao returned to her boudoir and cried on the bed, which alarmed Mrs. Xing.

"My girl, what's the matter?" Mrs. Xing loves her own sister-in-law very much, "Did Ling Xiao bully you again?" β€œ

"Nope! No! No! Li Miao cried breathlessly, "It was all your bad idea at the beginning, asking me to retreat and force him to marry me quickly, but he just drank more and kissed me, and didn't say that he wouldn't marry me!" β€œ

"My daughter, you don't know a man's heart," Mrs. Xing looked at her and sighed, "If he doesn't marry you, you will take advantage of you, and if you don't hold it, you won't cherish you more and more when you get married in the future." β€œ

"Now that the marriage has been withdrawn, who am I going to go with?" The more Li Miao spoke, the more sad she became, and she cried into tears, "Mother, you didn't see it today, Ling Xiao has a sweetheart!" I don't know which girl, she looks like she came out of a painting, and her voice is good, not to mention Ling Xiao, I want to be close when I see it. β€œ

"And this?" Mrs. Xing listened curiously, "Girl from the Beijing circle, haven't you heard you praise anyone like this, has your mother seen it?" β€œ

Li Miao was tired of crying, and relieved herself: "It's definitely not from the Beijing circle, I heard that the girl's accent is not from Yanjing, and the lord of Pingkang also saw it, and Bacheng was very satisfied." β€œ

At this time, Mrs. Xing couldn't sit still: "The county lord also saw it?" Ling Xiao took her there? β€œ
