Chapter 142: Affectionate and Affectionate
The mansion covers a wide area, although Li Qing is borrowed, but there is a separate courtyard, and Li is only separated by a wall, living curtains, Xiaoyu and more than a dozen maids, except for the old man who drives the car, the rest of the men live in the store in the West Market.
After entering the door of the house, Xiaoyu couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and had already taken the first step to run to inform the curtain, through the two moon walls, Li Qing came to his own courtyard, the courtyard was very quiet, a few thick laurel trees had dense branches, the flower fields on both sides were green, fat, red and thin, a few moon flowers were blooming brilliantly, and the faint fragrance was wafting in the courtyard.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the hall, a white floor-length skirt like a cloud in the sky was drifting in, and she saw an ice jade-like face, and the moment she saw Li Qing, her deep pool-like eyes actually radiated a gorgeous and dazzling look, extremely surprised and expected together, like an iceberg of snow lotus blooming in the wind.
Her rare emotional outpouring actually stunned Li Qing, and it is no wonder that such a bright and moving cold county lord is the first time he has seen it.
"You, you back. Behind her, sister-in-law Song Mei was hurriedly walking out with a wooden plate, which was a bowl containing medicine, and there was a layer of black medicine residue at the bottom of the bowl.
Song Mei's arrival seemed to be an unusually powerful cold snap coming, which instantly solidified Li Jingyan's excitement, and the brilliance of her bright eyes quickly evaporated, leaving only the unique chill in the ice pool, she returned to normal, and only nodded slightly to Li Qing. Her long eyelashes drooped, obscuring the window that exposed her inner feelings, and she walked briskly along the stone flower path by the wall.
"Ahh Sir, you're back! The bowl cried out excitedly, and his voice became hoarse from exertion.
Li Qing saw that her eyes were red, and knew that she was working hard to take care of the curtain. Grateful, but worried about the curtain, hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Is she a big problem?" ”
"Fortunately, I almost had a miscarriage, but looking at the current situation, it should have been saved."
Hesitate. Song Mei said again: "Master, three months is a hurdle for women, and the master should sleep alone at night!" ”
Li Qing nodded, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and strode into the house.
After a long time, there was a low sigh, and the sigh was filled with deep loss and melancholy. The white skirt vanished, and the heavy footsteps faded away.
The joy of the newlyweds has long since disappeared. The room was brightly lit and filled with a faint medicinal scent. Sketching a tranquil scene, the futon on the large bed was neatly folded, and a soft smoke curtain was hung over the rain, and next to it, several brown rattan chairs were placed at random, covered with cushions made of various fine linens, and a larger rocking chair, although a little old. But like a motherly kindness, the wide armrests exude the atmosphere of a warm invitation to sit. It is covered with a thick mattress, which is comfortable and inviting, and brings people a relaxing enjoyment of body and mind. At this time, the mistress of the house was half-lying on this chair, with a thin quilt on her legs, and a half-sewn baby dress at her hand, and she was looking tenderly at her husband from afar, with a kind and joyful gaze.
Although they didn't speak to each other, Li Qing felt a refreshing sweet spring flowing from the bottom of his heart, he walked in front of her in a few steps, slowly knelt down, held her white and delicate hand, and felt the warmth of her hand. He smiled slightly, "I'm back!" ”
Curtain's distressed stroked his dark and thin face, and said in a trembling voice, "You damn fellow! Finally home. ”
Before she could finish speaking, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she covered her mouth with her hand, turning her head to sob.
Xiaoyu's eyes next to him were also red, and he pulled up the mantle curtain next to the bed to wipe his tears, and the curtain suddenly thought of something, quickly wiped away his tears, and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, you haven't eaten yet!" ”
She struggled to sit up, but Li Qingyi held her down, "Don't move!" ”
He hesitated, touched her slightly bulging abdomen with his hand, only retracted it halfway, turned his head to look at Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu's plump and mellow mouth pouted slightly, "I know, don't disturb your old couple's romance!" ”
She walked out stupidly, halfway through, and a little uneasy, turned around and gave the curtain a look, the curtain saw her ghostly and happy appearance, and couldn't help but laugh, "Go get dinner!" I will say. ”
Xiaoyu's face turned red, and she lowered her head and ran out.
"Let me hear it!"
Li Qing saw that Xiaoyu was gone, so he gently pulled down the placket of the curtain, put his ear on her abdomen, and listened carefully, the curtain's hand stroked his hair and neck, and said in a low voice: "It's only three months old, can you hear it?" ”
"Yes, ha! I heard, 'tintin' sound. Li Qing raised his head excitedly, "I have to jump more than a hundred times a minute." ”
The curtain was surprised, "What do you mean by a minute?" ”
Li Qing was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had missed his mouth casually, so he smiled bitterly and explained: "This is the saying of the Nanzhao people, which means that the time is very short. ”
At the mention of Nanzhao, Curtain Er remembered what Thaksin said, and asked with a slight sourness: "That Nanzhao princess, Awan, didn't she come back with you?" ”
Li Qing suddenly remembered that Ah Wan's belly also had her own child, and she didn't know how she was now, her face immediately darkened, and the curtain was shocked, "What! Something happened. ”
"She's pregnant with my baby!"
Li Qing sighed, and told Lian'er how he knew Awan, how he was poisoned and almost died, and why she wanted to be a witch, and finally said: "I only knew that she was pregnant when I met her mother, otherwise I would never have left her alone in the east." ”
Perhaps because of the sympathy for the same disease, Curtain suddenly became concerned about Awan, and she complained to Li Qingdao: "Then why don't you wait, and come back together after she returns to Nanzhao, haven't you read the letter I gave you?" ”
Li Qing shook his head, "There were too many things at that time, and I couldn't take care of them." ”
Curtain was about to say that when a woman is pregnant, she needs her husband's care the most, but it can be seen that his expression is gloomy, and she knows that he is also sad, so she changed the topic and smiled: "Do you know what Xiaoyu wanted me to say just now?" ”
"Say what?"
Curtain couldn't hold back a laugh and whispered in his ear: "She wants me to set a wedding date with you, when to marry her." ”
Li Qing shook his head, "Wait a minute! I'm very confused now, there's no news from Ah Wan's side, and you haven't finished protecting the fetus now, so I'll talk about it when things are straightened out
? ”
Curtain took his hand, his tone was unusually gentle, and said: "Li Lang, I didn't understand it, but I only knew when I became a relative, it turned out that men can't do without women, I have been avoiding women all these years, it really hurts you, so you go to Nanzhao to meet Awan, I don't blame you, I know that you are not a casual man, there must have been a lot of things, and now that you are back, and I can't give it to you, if you marry Xiaoyu, I will be less sorry." ”
Li Qing's hand rubbed on her thin and pale face, and said with a slight smile: "It's not in the way, after so many years of suffering, what does it matter if you suffer for a few more months?" ”
Curtain shook her head, grabbed his hand, and said with a solemn expression: "But, we have to think about it for Xiaoyu, do you know that you are all her hopes and sustenance, she always mentions marrying you, in fact, she is afraid that you don't want her, you don't know, when you are not there, her original master came to pester her, she was afraid to death, and she looked forward to your return all day long, you calculated, you have known her for three or four years!" But she married a Nanzhao girl first, do you know how she feels? She has been with us through thick and thin until now, she doesn't want anything, so what does she want? ”
Li Qing covered his head and pulled his hair hard, "I know!" Actually, I also like Xiaoyu very much, but I have already found Awan in Nanzhao, and now I am marrying Xiaoyu, I always feel a little sorry for you. ”
Seeing that he was sincere, Lian'er was moved, sighed and said: "I am an orphan living at the bottom, I don't even have a household registration, and I live by setting up a stall with my grandfather to tell fortunes. Later, when I met you, I thought you were the same person as me, so I wanted to be with you, but then you gradually developed and became an official, and the official became bigger and bigger, and there were many famous ladies like Cui Liuliu who wanted to marry you and married them. It is undoubtedly extremely beneficial to your future, but you still married me without hesitation, Li Lang, I understand your heart for me, and I also believe that we will grow old together, and I am content. But I don't want to make others sad for my own happiness, like a little rain, and if you don't want her, she's going to die, you know? And Lord Leng, do you know her unforgettable love for you? ”
Li Qingzheng listened silently to what the curtain said, and suddenly heard her mention Li Jingyan, he immediately shook his head and said: "Xiaoyu, I knew about it a long time ago, but that Leng County Lord. It's a bit of an exaggeration, since I first met her. She was cold to me and did me a favor. Or because they don't want to owe me favors. ”
"That was before, and now she's willing to die for you!"
Xiao Yu, who had been hiding at the door and eavesdropping, finally couldn't help but interject: "She has slept with me every day for the past three months, and she has your name in her dreams, how could I not know, she will turn around and inquire about you all day long, your old bottom!" She had already figured it out. ”
"Huh! Where's the male's meal? Haven't you done it yet? Seeing that her hands were empty, the curtain couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Ahh I forgot. Xiaoyu then remembered that she hadn't done her business, and ran to cook in a panic.
Li Qing looked at her back. I couldn't help but laugh.
The curtain gently pinched him and complained: "You are still laughing, what you just said was heard by this little girl." You have time to coax her, do you hear? ”
"If my mother calls the east, I will go east, and I will obey the order!" After a deep conversation between the husband and wife, Li Qing's heart knot gradually untied, and his tone became brisk, but he thought of Li Jingyan's incident just now, and shook his head secretly, not to mention that he didn't believe it too much, even if she was intentional, he didn't like her indifference, besides, she was the county lord, if he married her and put her there, it would inevitably threaten the status of the curtain, which he was absolutely unwilling.
It was gradually dusk, Xiaoyu brought the food into the room, and the three of them seemed to have returned to the years, the house was full of the warmth of getting together, and the laughter kept drifting out of the window, Li Qing told them about his experience in Donghe and Nanzhao, and when it came to the thrilling place, the two girls bit their chopsticks in their mouths, their eyes were wide open, and they held their breath; Li Qing talked about the customs of the East Dancing Place again, the two of them sat down at the table and laughed, Xiaoyu's face became crimson, and her eyes looked at the sunset outside the window stupidly, but in her mind she imagined the scene when she invited the public to dance.
.
Exactly, some people are happy and some are worried, a hundred steps away from Li Qing's room, Li Jingyan leaned in front of the window and silently listened to the faint laughter in the distance, how she longed that she could be like the two of them, lying at the table and listening to him tell the story of Nanzhaodi, but she didn't dare, just like she never dared to ride a horse, the identity of the county lord was like an invisible shackle on her, and fear grabbed her courage and made her stop.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, Li Jingyan slowly turned around, but saw that it was the eldest brother who walked in with a smile, and she said in a low voice: "Is there something wrong with the eldest brother?" ”
Li Zhao saw her sad expression and knew her thoughts, so he couldn't help but sigh secretly, took out a beautiful post and handed it to her, "Zhao Yue has sent an invitation again, this is the third time, don't refuse him again!" ”
"Big brother, I don't want to go!" Li Jingyan shook his head and returned the invitation to Li Zhao.
"Big brother knows that you are in a bad mood, but this time it is the Qujiang Poetry Club, Li Qinglian, Du Mei and Wang Changling, they are all here, you should go and relax! Although Zhao Yue is impetuous, it is because of his youth, I hope you can take a long-term view. ”
Li Zhao saw that she was silent, and stuffed the invitation card into her hand again, and begged: "Just do the eldest brother a favor, just this time, okay?" ”
Li Jingyan nodded silently, opened the invitation casually, and there was only a line of small words in it, "Hide it in your heart, when will you forget it", she smiled sadly, and returned the invitation to her eldest brother, "Don't let him pick it up, I'll go by myself." ”
Li Jingyan slowly approached the window, leaning on the railing and looking out, in the western sky, a lonely shadow in the shape of a waning moon, surrounded by gray clouds, the moonlight loomed, she stared blankly at the courtyard of the *** Tongmingdi, where laughter and laughter were still lively, Li Jingyan suddenly felt lonely as she had never been, and her lips murmured, 'Li Lang, Li Lang, why don't you ignore me, why?' She couldn't hold back any longer, tears glistened beautifully in her eyes, and a string of crystal tears rolled down her long eyelashes.
