Chapter 81: An Accidental Misstep
The building was bustling and noisy, and the sky had begun to appear dark clouds, which gradually thickened the starry sky, as if soaked in ink, and sometimes flashed with dazzling blue light, like a golden line, cutting through the dark night sky.
In Li Qing's house, the light is soft, the curtain is sitting cross-legged on the mat and is sewing and mending the official uniform for Li Qing with stitches and threads, Li Qing wears special clothes, as if he has barbs on his body, and he will have to change to a new one after a while, but this official uniform cannot be made by a tailor at will, the imperial court has a rule every year, although Li Qing has two positions, the official uniform of the main book and the county order can be changed, but Li Qing can no longer look down on the color of the main book after wearing the seven-grade official uniform of the county order, and he wears one piece every day, and he is only more than two months when he acts as the county order. This is the third time that the curtain has been sewn for him, Xiaoyu sat next to the curtain straight, with her elbows on the small table, holding her cheeks and looking at the curtain to sew, a little uneasy, from this afternoon on, she is like this, either forgetting to put salt in cooking, or forgetting to wash the dishes and chopsticks, she saw the curtain with a smile in her eyes, and wanted to ask her about it several times, but the words shrank back to her mouth, and in the end, she finally couldn't help it.
"Sister Lian'er?"
"Yes!"
Xiaoyu didn't speak for a long time, and Lian'er couldn't help but raise his head, and when he saw Xiaoyu's serious face, he smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Shocking, you just say it. ”
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yufang said: "You refuse to take care of the business, aren't you afraid that the public will be angry?" ”
"I thought what was the big deal? Is this what you're throwing away all afternoon? Seeing Xiaoyu nodding slightly, the curtain shook her head with a smile, gently bit off the thread with her teeth, stood up, shook the official uniform vigorously, and carefully checked it up and down, but found a small hole in the blue edge of the hem, and the edge of the hole was burnt, obviously burned by Mars.
"Oops! There doesn't seem to be a blue thread in the house. She rummaged through the small dustpan with needlework and thread, and sure enough, she didn't, so she begged Xiaoyu and said, "Can you help me go to Sister-in-law Song and ask, her eldest girl always wears a blue dress, and there should be a blue line." ”
Xiaoyu's mouth was convulsed, her chin was raised high, but she ignored her, the curtain knew her thoughts, and couldn't help but be angry and funny, so she had to put her official uniform aside, and explained to her with a smile: "At first, Gong wanted me to take charge of the business, but he didn't have a suitable candidate, but now that I have the stone shopkeeper, I am shrewd and capable, so I naturally don't need to take care of it anymore." After a pause, the curtain picked up the official robe again, lowered his head and smiled: "Outside is a man's world, fighting scheming and resourcefulness all day long, if we women also go to mix, what is the difference between that home and outside, you are still young, you will know when you are older." ”
Xiaoyu couldn't help but nod, but after listening to the last sentence, her mouth was even higher, "You are only one year older than me, but you teach me like my mother, how can I not understand, I am afraid that he will be deceived." ”
"That man is fine! Don't worry about him, lend me the blue line. ”
Xiaoyu didn't move, her eyes blinked, revealing a sly smile, "Listen to your man's long man's short, are you already . got up and held her down and scolded with a smile: "You are a dead girl, I knew that you still had words, and I was moved, but I grabbed my words to make me up, and saw how I cleaned you up!" ”
Xiaoyu was tickled by her and laughed, she couldn't breathe, and begged repeatedly: "Good sister, spare me!" Don't dare anymore, I watched him count your age all day long, so I had this idea. ”
"Phew! He has this thought about you, you look at your body, how like a fourteen-year-old girl, like, like.
The curtain was thinking of a suitable word, but an electric light flashed outside the window, reflecting the courtyard in bright white, and then there was a rumbling thunder, and Xiaoyu screamed in fright, covering her ears and getting into the arms of the curtain.
"It's like a big hollow radish," Curtain smiled and continued, but soon a trace of worry appeared on her face, and she looked back at the pot leak in the cupboard, and said to herself, "Why hasn't he come back now?" ”
She went and opened the door, and the probe shouted, "Sister-in-law Song! Sister-in-law Song! ”
Sister-in-law Song is Song Mei, who has been following Li Qing since she began, she lives in the outer courtyard, because the house is leaking, and it is being renovated these days, so she let her take a few children
Coming from the inner courtyard, she was washing the child's clothes at this time, and suddenly heard the curtain hurriedly drying her hands and coming out of the house, "Miss told me that something is wrong?" ”
"You go to the front yard and ask to see if Lao Yu has picked up the master."
Sister-in-law Song responded, hurriedly drove back a few children who came out, locked the door again, and then hurriedly ran to the front yard, and after a while, she ran back to report: "Lao Yu just went, and it is estimated that he will come back soon." ”
"I see, go ahead!" The curtain closed the door, but when she turned around, she saw Xiaoyu yawning three times in a row, so she smiled and said, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep!" I'll just wait for him. ”
Xiaoyu yawned again, stood up and stretched and complained: "Our man is really a man, he spends all day drinking outside, but he doesn't understand us at all." She suddenly found that she had also lost her mouth, so she quickly covered her mouth, peeked at the curtain, and saw that she was uneasy, obviously not listening to her own words, so she was relieved and said with a smile: "I'm really sleepy, go to sleep first, if you have something to call me." ”
"Well, go to sleep!" The curtain opened the door again, listened carefully to the movement outside, and did not hear the sound of the carriage returning, and then closed the door.
'Tick! Tick! At last the rain began to fall, first with a sparse knocking of tiles, and soon in a dense patch, and a bolt of lightning swept by, reflecting the white and rainy night, and then a great thunder rolled by, but there was no light rain screaming and running out, and it seemed that she had fallen asleep.
The curtain waited anxiously and always felt that the man should stay at home on a rainy night even if he was entertaining he should come back early from lao yu said li qing went to invite someone to dinner this has been two hours have passed no matter how you should come back is it . Yes, there is Lao Yu here, and there are so many subordinates, there should be nothing to do, although she thinks so, but this idea has settled in her heart.
She opened the door again, the wind and rain rushed in, and quickly closed, the curtain sighed helplessly, returned to the couch and picked up the official uniform, there was no blue silk thread at home, but it could not be repaired, she folded the official uniform, at this time, she seemed to faintly hear something, the hand stopped moving, listened carefully, there was really movement, it seemed that many people were coming to this side, the curtain of the heart hung up, she walked to the door in a few steps, opened the door without hesitation, let the wind and rain blow in, she had heard Lao Yu's hurried voice, 'Quick! Fast! Be careful. ”
The door of Song's sister-in-law's house also opened, and the light from the two rooms made the curtain look far away, and she saw a large group of people, carrying a stretcher and walking quickly to this side.
"Male!" The curtain screamed and rushed into the rain.
It was really Li Qing lying on the stretcher, his eyes were closed, he was drenched, shivering with cold, and when he saw that Li Qing's body was still moving, his heart was slightly lowered, and he pulled Lao Yu and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Lao Yu showed a trace of bitterness on his face, bowed his head and said, "The master was drunk and fell into the Minjiang River." ”
"How did you fall into the Minjiang River?" Curtain shouted, "Isn't he sitting in your car?" ”
"The old man was bumpy and uncomfortable in the carriage, he couldn't stand it and wanted to vomit, I said just go anywhere on the street, but the old man insisted that after being seen, there would be no official authority, and he must force me to go to a secluded place, I had to go to the river, and he didn't let me help, so I watched him stride into the river." Lao Yu pointed to the door: "In the end, thanks to this big brother Wang's skills, he found and fished the old man from the river." ”
The curtain looked in the direction of Lao Yu's finger, a man like a giant bear was looking at herself, she didn't recognize Wang Bing in the dark, so she hurriedly stepped forward and thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Wang." ”
Wang Bing said apologetically: "Your husband is fine, drink a bowl of ginger soup, and rest for a few days, I have to blame for this, I thought he could drink, and I persuaded him vigorously, but I didn't expect him to be drunk like this after only drinking a glass of wine." ”
He touched the back of his head, "It's the first time I've heard of someone striding into the river, and it's really funny." As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.
