Chapter Forty-Eight: Rainy Day, I Miss You

Qiu Luoxue and the others have been walking for more than ten days, and they have not yet stepped out of the border of Daqin, so it can only be said that the transportation in this ancient period is too inconvenient. The carriage was wobbly and moving too slowly. Occasionally, when the carriage became boring, a few people changed the mode of transportation and switched to horseback riding. When riding a horse, Qiu Luoxue is always the same horse as Nie Yuan, and it is somewhat strange for two men to ride the same horse. But fortunately, the road they took was relatively remote, and there were not too many people.

There are occasional delays along the way, such as today, when it was too difficult to move forward because of the continuous rain, so they stopped for a day.

The backyard of the inn, with its lush trees and delicate flowers, is always wet when it has been rained.

Nie Yuan and Qiu Luoxue wanted to sit on the verandah outside, each leaning against the pillar behind them. One leg is flat on top and one leg is propped up. The leg that Nie Yuanping was lying on was even more slender, taking up most of the space, so that Qiu Luoxue's little short leg could match him. The feet of the two men touched each other.

It's also good to look at the scenery so carefree, the backyard is quiet, surrounded by green trees, and the sound of rain is ticking, dripping into people's hearts like a clock.

The rain is falling, wetting everything in heaven and earth, and the scene of water flowing down the eaves, it seems to be a small waterfall from a distance, I don't know if it is because the rain is too big, when Qiu Luoxue looks at the rain curtain, he always feels that a layer of light mist is shrouded.

What I saw through the mist seemed to be Xia Zimo's figure in front of the window of Tingyuxuan. He sat at the table by the window and made tea for himself. The purple clay pot tea set placed on the table is elegant and exquisite. In the small incense burner not far away, a sandalwood incense is burning with the aroma of dedication, and the long curling cigarette smoke spreads in the air of Tingyuxuan, creating a peaceful and solemn atmosphere.

In the small but beautiful stove there was a vigorous fire, and on top of it sat a teapot, which was used to boil water, and the water was the finest sweet spring water, which was now steaming under the steaming of the fire.

The sound of the pot and the sound of the rain outside are combined to create a unique music. Xia Zimo listened to this voice, and his thoughts drifted away.

"Nie Shishi, what did you eat to grow up? How do legs are so long? Qiu Luoxue looked at Nie Yuan's legs on the screen and asked.

"I grew up eating." Nie Yuan replied.

The answer of "......" made Qiu Luoxue stunned for a while, and Nie Yuan's more serious answer became more and more funny, and finally Qiu Luoxue was amused by him and said, "Haha, it's not this, I mean why are your legs so long?"

"It's been so long." Nie Yuan replied that this seemed to him to be a normal thing.

"Hey~ really, you're showing off, long legs don't understand the sadness of our little short legs." Qiu Luoxue pursed her lips and said, her legs and Nie Yuan's legs are simply incomparable.

"I think it's just right." Nie Yuan said.

"What?"

"Your legs." Nie Yuan said and moved his eyes to Qiu Luoxue's legs, and continued, "It's just right."

Qiu Luoxue found that although Nie Yuan didn't talk much, what she said was what she liked to hear, how did she know that Nie Yuan always followed her because he liked her. It is said that there is a Xi Shi in the eyes of a lover, Nie Yuan is like this, even if Qiu Luoxue has big shortcomings, it is good in his eyes.

"I'm narcissistic with these sweet words every day, and it makes me feel better about myself." Qiu Luoxue said.

"I didn't lie to you, I mean it." Nie Yuan looked at Qiu Luoxue and said.

Qiu Luoxue smiled brightly after hearing this, it was hard for Nie Yuan to believe that he was not sincere when he spoke so seriously. Nie Yuan never lies, and Qiu Luoxue also knows this.

The rain continued to fall, and the conversation between Qiu Luoxue and Nie Yuan continued, "Did you say that the emperor was angry because I said I was going to marry Su Muyi?" He didn't send me the day he left, and he doesn't reply to me now. ”

"Are you going to Su Muyi?" Nie Yuan asked, although he was calm on the surface, but there was a trace of melancholy in his heart.

Qiu Luoxue said a little embarrassed: "No, I just told the emperor about this idea."

"How could you suddenly have such a thought? Do you like that type of person? Nie Yuan asked.

"No, how could it be? I don't like her. Qiu Luoxue hurriedly explained.

"Then don't marry her." Nie Yuan said very seriously.

After that, Nie Yuan had another object to watch out for in his heart, that is, Su Muyi, he had to prevent Su Mu from relying on Qiu Luoxue at all times, otherwise it would be bad to let that woman snatch his Qiu Luoxue away.

After that, it was unfortunate that Nie Yuan met Su Muyi in the corridor, the corridor was not very spacious, but it was okay to pass two people. However, Nie Yuan walked in the middle, which made it impossible for the two to walk at the same time. And Nie Yuan didn't plan to let it go at the moment because of Qiu Luoxue. So the two were at a stalemate in the corridor.

"Eh, I said that you can't ...... person" Su Muyi just wanted to teach Nie Yuan a lesson, but when she saw Nie Yuan's cold and murderous eyes, she swallowed back the words behind.

Nie Yuan glanced at Su Muyi slightly, feeling a cold air flowing out of his eyes, and Su Muyi, who was frightened, could only obediently lean aside to make way for him, and Nie Yuan just passed.

After he left, Su Muyi also ran away, seemingly shocked by Nie Yuan's momentum.

"Brother Huang, that Nie Yuan is so fierce, he scared me to death." Su Muyi said when she entered Su Mufei's room.

"Is something wrong?" Su Mufei asked.

Su Muyi walked over and sat down, and said, "It's nothing, I just met him in the corridor, I feel that his eyes are so cold, and his murderous aura is so heavy, I wonder if he wants to cut me with a sword." But I didn't mess with him, why is he so fierce. ”

"He's that kind of person, don't care." Su Mufei said and handed a cup of tea to Su Muyi.

"But I think he has a good relationship with Qiu Luoxue, isn't he really a male pet?" Su Muyi's gossip heart rose again.

"It's a joke about this kind of thing, don't take it seriously. You don't really think that Qiu Luoxue likes male style, right? Su Mufei said.

"Isn't it? That's what everyone says? Su Muyi asked stupidly.

Su Mufei smiled and said, "Qiu Luoxue is the prime minister of Great Qin, the only descendant of the Qiu clan, if he really likes male style, he will never make such a big publicity." But if you think about it carefully, it seems that this matter has been deliberately spread, and even our people in Nanliang are talking about it. This is so abnormal, and the only explanation is that someone is deliberately spreading the news. ”

"Why spread such rumors?" Su Muyi asked.

"Maybe it's covering up something." Su Mufei guessed.

Then he reminded: "Even if this thing is true, the one named Nie Yuan will not be his male favorite." The surname Nie is also the surname of the nobility in Daqin, although I don't know what Nie Yuan's identity is, but he is by no means an ordinary person. ”

"In Daqin, there are three kinds of people that cannot be messed with, one is surnamed Xia, one is surnamed Qiu, and there is another person surnamed Nie. If you want to live in Daqin in the future, these are things you must pay attention to. Although you are behind Nan Liang, our father will never fall out with Daqin for you. ”

Su Mufei's words can be regarded as a reminder, a piece of advice, and a fact. Although Su Muyi is a princess of a country, she is an unfavored princess, and after coming to Daqin, she must be low-key. That's why Su Mufei thought that she was familiar with Qiu Luoxue, maybe Qiu Luoxue could become her backer in Daqin in the future. In that case, it would be a little better.

In the evening, the rain finally stopped. After the rain, the weather was a little cool, and the air was filled with a moist smell, and the tip of the nose was soaked in the air, and there was a feeling of moisture. Take a deep breath and the fresh air will flow through your body, spreading smoothly and comfortably.

Qiu Luoxue is sitting at the desk writing a letter at the moment: Today in Yincheng, the day's trip was delayed because of the rain, is it also raining in the capital?

He and Nie Shi sat on the verandah and watched the rain, and the rain scene was very beautiful. Somehow, I remembered that rainy day, and the emperor made a special trip to send me the night pearl. The rain scene that day was also beautiful, and the white magnolia in the courtyard was hung with crystal water droplets. But I didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, because the emperor caught my eye.

Many days later, when Xia Zimo saw this paragraph, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sweet smile. Especially the last sentence, which made him chew for a long time.

"You didn't have time to appreciate it, I didn't appreciate it, because the first glance locked on your face." Xia Zimo said.

It's been many days since the first letter was sent, and Nie Shishi said you received it, but why didn't you reply to me? Are you still mad at me? Obviously, it should be beneficial for you for me to marry Su Muyi, and I can be regarded as contributing to the country. Why are you so angry? Did I miss something? Even if you're angry, it's been half a month, haven't you been angry? It's stingy.

Qiu Luoxue continued to write on the letterhead, questioning, more like complaining, blaming Xia Zimo for not replying to her.

I don't know if such a letter can be classified as a love letter, but Xia Zimo seems to read it as a love letter. Not only that, but I also collected it very carefully. The box containing the letter was made by the Jinfu faction, a dark red carved sandalwood box with a small and delicate lock on it. The key was kept by Xia Zimo himself, and the box was placed next to the pillow at the head of his bed. Whenever he saw that box, he seemed to see Qiu Luoxue's full affection, and he couldn't help but smile. In my spare time, I would take out these letters and reread them. In the past, Xia Zimo's life was only watching plays, playing chess, and practicing calligraphy. Now it seems to be a lot richer, I want to Qiu Luoxue, pet Qiu Luoxue, summon Qiu Luoxue, and see Qiu Luoxue's letter...... It's all about her.

In this small box, it is not only Qiu Luoxue's letter that is locked, but also Xia Zimo's love, thoughts and good memories. It would be nice if one day these things could be taken out and made public in this little box. His love for Qiu Luoxue doesn't have to hide. But that day seems far away for now.
