Chapter 14: Heartbeat Under the Moon
It was just after dusk, and the lanterns of the shops and wealthy houses on the street had not yet been hung up.
Packed up their valuables, dressed up in disguise, and the three of them and one rabbit took advantage of the darkness to go down the mountain.
The big stupid bear followed them from a distance, otherwise the target was too big and easy to attract attention, anyway, it had a very smart nose, and it could walk to the Su family's courtyard with its eyes closed.
Along the way, Ma Xue'e was very curious about what she saw and heard, and this was the first time she went down the mountain and felt that everything was new. Luo Changning had no choice but to hold her and promise to take her out to play tomorrow.
Luo Changning knocked on the courtyard door, and soon Zhongbo opened the door.
"Young master, you're back, dinner has been heated several times, Miss is in a hurry, and she sent me out to look for you." Seeing that Luo Changning was fine, Uncle Zhong looked at the Ma family brothers and sisters again, and said respectfully, "I don't know who these two little friends are?" ”
When he was young, Zhongbo often went to various places to buy medicinal materials, and he could be regarded as walking the rivers and lakes, although he was loyal, he was a little wary of strangers.
Ma Qingyun carried the burden on his back, stood coldly with his hands on his chest, and only nodded to Uncle Zhong, which was regarded as a greeting.
Luo Changning was about to reply, when Xue'e jumped up to Zhongbo with the gray rabbit in her arms.
raised a smile and said quirkily: "Hello uncle, my name is Ma Xue'e, and the one who doesn't like to take care of people is my brother Ma Qingyun." We are all good friends of Luo Changning, and we came to the Su family's small courtyard to eat. We don't eat much, uncle, don't be disgusted! ”
Xue'e's words made several people laugh, and even Ma Gongzi, who had always been cold, also smiled.
"Haha, Miss Ma is really innocent and cutely tight. My young master has few friends, and now there are two such confidants of the young master, which is the luck of the young master! "Uncle Zhong has no heirs, and he loves a lively girl like Xue'e.
"Sister Xue'e is the cutest girl and the most edible girl. Uncle Zhong, go and ask Qinggu to get a few more meat dishes. ”
"Yes, young master."
"For the sake of meat, this girl doesn't care if you say I can eat it." Ma Xue'e said arrogantly, rubbing the gray rabbit's fur and stepping into the courtyard gate, "Uncle, go slowly, wait for me to ......"
Luo Changning looked at her petite back, shook his head and smiled.
"Brother Ma, let's go in too."
Ma Qingyun bowed, and the two walked in.
After walking a few steps, they saw Su Meng walking towards them in a light purple gauze skirt and carrying a lantern.
The lotus step moves lightly, the temperament is simple and elegant, and the charming virgin fragrance wafts in the wind.
The figure was clearly extinguished in the candle flame, getting closer and closer, Ma Qingyun's face was no longer cold, and he looked at Su Meng fixedly.
She didn't seem to see Ma Qingyun, and said to Luo Changning Jiao: "Ning'er always worries my aunt, dinner has already been used up on weekdays, and she only comes back in the last month." ”
Luo Changning scratched his head: "Some things are delayed, come back late, don't be angry." ”
Su Mengmei glared at him, and then said to Ma Qingyun: "This is Ning'er's friend, Ling Mei is having dinner in the hall, please go to Ma Gongzi." ”
After saying that, turn around and lead the way.
"Mother...... Mother! ”
Ma Qingyun spoke amazingly, with expectation, panic and a trace of inexplicable affection in his voice, and his figure moved in front of Su Meng in a flash, "Are you your mother?" ”
Luo Changning was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted, blocking between the two. frowned and looked at him, and said coldly: "Brother Ma thinks about his mother and recognizes the wrong person." ”
Ma Qingyun came back to his senses, realized his gaffe, and said with a slightly white face: "Miss Su is so offended, she mistook you and Xianci in the next moment. ”
Su Meng's expression moved slightly: "It's okay, since you and Ning'er are friends, you can call me Aunt Su in the future." ”
"Aunt Sue......"
Luo Changning thought in his heart: The aunt and the Ma family brothers and sisters are indeed three or four points similar under closer inspection, and it is no wonder that he admitted his mistake. It turned out that Xue'e's sister had passed away from her mother, and she didn't know that her father was still alive, and she could still have such a smile after suffering so much......
When they came to the hall, they saw the gray rabbit eating vegetable leaves elegantly on the table.
And Ma Xue'e took the oily chicken leg and gnawed there, and said inarticulately: "Aunt Su, the dishes you and Qinggu made are so delicious, they are even better than Brother Changning's!" I'll be at your house from now on! ”
Luo Changning said with a smile: "Okay, Xue'e can rely on it whenever she wants, and you can't eat it." ”
Su Meng glanced at Luo Changning, "A few of you little ones eat here, Ning'er and the others will ask Qinggu to send the food to my room." ”
"Got it, auntie."
Su Meng nodded and walked away with the lantern, with a slender figure. Although she is an elder, she has never been out of the cabinet, so it is not good for her to eat at the same table with young people.
The two of them sat down and ate food, and Luo Changning ate a lot of food, needless to say.
Ma Qingyun has reached the innate realm, and his demand for food has decreased, and he didn't have to eat it for dinner not long ago, but he moved his chopsticks because this table also had Su Meng's credit.
"Brother, here you go, this sweet and sour pork rib is the best." Ma Xue'e puffed out her cheeks and did not forget to help Ma Qingyun pick up vegetables.
If a girl is too gluttonous, she will make the world laugh.
However, she grew up in the deep forest, with few restraints, and lost a lot of the childhood pleasures she should have gotten, and it was pitiful to find compensation in food.
"Brother Changning, your home is so beautiful, the flowers in the yard are much more beautiful than the wildflowers in the mountains. Don't forget to take me to the market tomorrow. ”
"I can't forget, I'll take you there early tomorrow morning." Luo Changning was funny.
Roar –
A low bear cry was heard outside, and soon a sturdy brown bear rushed in and smashed a door panel.
It sniffed at the food on the table, then looked at Ma Xue'e with a flattering look, its short tail flicking behind it.
Xue'e was about to beckon it to come over to eat, when she saw Qinggu holding a sandalwood tray in one hand and a broom in the other, and said angrily: "Don't be afraid, young master, see how Qinggu beats away this fat bear who trespassed on the house!" ”
It turned out that the big stupid bear followed the smell all the way and entered the Su family's courtyard through the door specially left for it by Luo Changning and Ma Qingyun.
The nose has always been very smart, and it smells the fragrance wafting from the hall from afar, and rushes over happily, stepping on many precious flowers on the way.
When Qinggu saw it at first, she thought it was dazzling, but when she reacted, she immediately picked up a broom to protect the lord. It doesn't matter if you scare the guests, it's impossible to hurt the young master.
"Ahem, Qinggu, this big stupid bear is mine...... It doesn't hurt. Ma Xue'e said embarrassedly.
"Qinggu, put down the broom, the big stupid bear is also my friend." Luo Changning didn't mean to blame Qinggu, knowing that she was worried about herself.
Qinggu knew that she had misunderstood, and apologized to the Ma sisters, and then said to the brown bear with a smile: "It turns out that you are also a friend of the young master, and I lost my words just now Qinggu." ”
The big stupid bear seemed to understand human words, smiled "shyly", and stretched out his paws in a friendly manner at Qinggu.
Qinggu was stunned for a moment, then relieved, and also stretched out her hand. One man and one bear, hands and paws were shaken, and the scene was very loving.
"It's okay, it's the big stupid bear who scared Qinggu because he was too reckless, and it should be punished." Ma Xue'e glared at the brown bear, "Hmph, you didn't have a supper tonight!" ”
The big stupid bear drooped his ears and sat listlessly on the ground, turning his back to Ma Xue'e as if he was complaining silently.
Seeing this, Qinggu's eyes flashed and she retreated.
Ma Qingyun got up and picked up the steamed pork ribs and braised pork on the tray and put them in front of the big stupid bear.
The big stupid bear flicked his tail, turned his fat head with difficulty and glared at Ma Xue'e with watery round eyes, and then began to eat.
Luo Changning blinked, approached Xue'e and asked, "Is that really your iceberg brother, who is so good to the big stupid bear?" ”
"Hmph, my brother is so hard-faced and soft-hearted, he won't punish the big stupid bear if he does something wrong!" Ma Xue'e pouted angrily.
Ma Qingyun glanced at them, picked up chopsticks and ate vegetables. Chewing slowly, after a while, he said without being shocked: "It's still a child." ”
Poof-
Ahem, the two of them rolled their eyes at each other, there is no one else in this product, a serious belly and a black ......
In Su Meng's boudoir, Qinggu put the beauty porridge, taro lotus seed cake, and cold mixed vegetables on the wooden table.
"Miss, eat quickly, it's so late, save yourself from starvation."
"How's going on over there?" Su Meng's room was in the backyard, far away from the hall, and the big stupid bear roared loudly, so it didn't alarm her.
"That pink-clothed lady seems to be simple, and the kung fu under her hands is only on par with mine, and she can also control beasts. As for Ma Gongzi, I can't see his cultivation, he should have stepped into the innate realm. ”
Qinggu said solemnly. Although she is very arrogant on weekdays, she is actually a smart woman with a careful heart.
"Beast control technique, it is actually the beast control technique, it seems that my estimate is not wrong." Su Meng rubbed his eyebrows, "Is this the so-called bad fate?" The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, maybe this is an opportunity......"
"What do you mean, Miss?"
"Those two children have a luxurious atmosphere, if they are not from a wealthy family, they will not be able to raise the natural dragon and phoenix qi at all." Looking at the young girl with a solemn face, Su Meng sighed, "Life is determined by heaven, and it is beyond human power to stop it." Nurse, you should also go down to eat, otherwise Uncle Zhong will be distressed. ”
Qinggu's face turned red and said, "Meng'er has also learned to make fun of the nurse!" ”
Although they are masters and servants, they are also relatives, and the occasional expression of true feelings is heartwarming.
