"Oh, am I treated differently from others?" Xue Zhiqing seemed to hear the sound of his words, and asked along the way.

Luo Zhaoyun sighed: "There is only one Xue Zhiqing in the world, so naturally I know that I am treated specially. ”

"Why, because of those false names?" Xue Zhiqing's expression was indifferent, smart and clear, and her words were also cleverly asked.

Luo Zhaoyun said solemnly: "Those are false names, the cultural heritage of the Xue family, the talent of the Zhiqing girl, the appearance of a peerless beauty, exquisite learning, all kinds of reasons, how can I not admire and come to visit." ”

Xue Zhiqing sneered, like a flower blooming in the cold winter, extremely beautiful, and gave him a white look, although there was a meaning of flattery, if another man said it, she would definitely despise it, but Luo Zhaoyun said it, she found it interesting.

Women, they have always been emotional, and the same sentence, when different people say it, they can think of it as completely different from each other, and there are too many subjective components.

"It is rumored outside that the national army is strict in discipline, meticulous, sincere and not arrogant, and does what it says.

"It's all heartfelt words, and it's also Miss Xue's well-deserved praise, there is nothing false, if you don't believe it, then forget it."

"I naturally believe it, whether it's true or not, I want to believe it, and as a woman, who wouldn't want to hear more praise?" Xue Zhiqing smiled, stretched out his hand, and said: "Guogong please enter the cold house, Zhiqing has prepared a thin wine, and the greeting is not thoughtful, I hope Guogong will not be surprised." ”

Luo Zhaoyun felt comfortable in his heart, and let this talented woman cook and prepare wine and food, is this something that ordinary men can enjoy?

"As long as you make it, I believe in the taste, and you can't go wrong."

Xue Zhiqing was a little weak-hearted, and said shamefully: "I'm not famous for food, don't expect too much, it's unpalatable, and you are not allowed to laugh at me." ”

At this moment, the girl's coquettish and shy personality has replied a lot, and I don't want to be cold and indifferent when we met for the first time just now, more like a living girl, rather than a goddess high above the literary world.

The two of them entered the house one after the other, this is not the front hall, nor her boudoir, but also an elegant alley room, in summer, the wooden doors on all sides are opened, there will be good ventilation, in winter, close the three wooden doors, leaving only the south gate entrance, plus cotton curtains, braziers, incense burners, but very warm.

Two small mahogany tables, facing each other, are surrounded by bookshelves and desks, with screen calligraphy and painting, strings, silk and bamboo, and the four treasures of the study.

After Xue Zhiqing entered the room, she asked a waiter to prepare the food and hot wine.

The maid glanced at Luo Zhaoyun curiously, wondering what kind of character the legendary Luo Cheng was, how could she make her own young lady condescend, willing to cook and feast, when she saw the man in front of her brocade robe and jade belt, majestic and heroic, chic and majestic person, so bright, the maid's heart beat faster, and secretly praised the handsome son.

"Guogong, please take a seat!" Although Xue Zhiqing called him the prince of the country, he did not treat him as a real prince, his words were very casual, the etiquette was simple, and the wind was light.

Luo Zhaoyun didn't care, in fact, he didn't like complicated etiquette at the moment, he was too tired, familiar people, it was better to be so simple, and it was more natural to get along.

Xue Zhiqing entered the house, took off her jacket, only wore a goose-yellow long skirt, and the hood on her hairpin was also removed, and her natural and beautiful face became clear under the light, unlike under the eaves just now, the light was dim and she couldn't see very clearly.

At this time, her skin is as white as jade, and the candlelight reflects it, making her more and more icy and holy, her willow eyebrows are picturesque, delicate and elegant, a pair of clear and vast eyes, a dexterous nose, slightly pointed lips, and her facial features are impeccable, and her beauty is not inferior to any beauty Luo Zhaoyun has ever seen, and even higher.

The most important thing is that Xue Zhiqing has the external beauty of bright teeth, and the inner beauty of radiant style, which is rare to have both wisdom and beauty.

The ancients said: The so-called beauty should be the flower as the appearance, the bird as the sound, the moon as the god, the jade as the bone, the ice and snow as the skin, the autumn water as the posture, and the poetry as the heart.

But Xue Zhiqing, this twenty-four or five-year-old ancient 'older girl', has developed to perfection, and she can rightly be called this 'peerless beauty'.

Even though Xue Zhiqing was stared at by him, he still behaved elegantly, looked as usual, and knelt down at the table opposite him.

Luo Zhaoyun also sat down, this kind of classical kneeling habit of the Han people in the Central Plains has been continued in the scholarly family, even at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the ordinary people's families have long learned from the grassland people to make stools and tables, and they don't have to kneel and sit, but sit with their feet down, like the tables and stools of later generations.

At this time, the maid brought hot dishes and warm wine, there were four dishes, stewed beef brisket, stuffed chicken nuggets, stir-fried bamboo shoots, and a steamed carp, but Xue Zhiqing's four dishes, except for fish, the other three were vegetarian.

"Hey, we're a little far away." Luo Zhaoyun got up with a smile, lifted the table, and moved it directly two meters, almost pasting it to Xue Zhiqing's wooden table.

Xue Zhiqing was a little dazed, thinking to herself, why is this prince so inattentive to etiquette, I am a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, drinking and eating with you alone, far away, and still maintaining a detached heart, too close, I'm afraid it's not good to spread it.

The maid looked at the prince of the country like Meng Lang, and was a little dumbfounded, and said in her heart Which man would be so uncourteous in front of his little lady.

Those academy scholars, the sons of the prominent families outside, are all polite and pretending to be civil, for fear that if there is any rudeness, it will make the jokes of talented girls become white.

Luo Zhaoyun didn't care about these at all, Xue Zhiqing was stunned at first, frowned, stared at him, and seemed to feel that he was a little light.

"It's too far away there, and it's hard to speak, and if the girl wants me to learn the speaking and heavy etiquette of those scholars, then I'd rather skip this meal and go back to sleep." Luo Zhaoyun said with a big grin.

After Xue Zhiqing heard this, her brows furrowed, and she was not displeased, but felt that he was free and natural, unpretentious, so she didn't study it carefully.

Luo Zhaoyun laughed in his heart, this time you invited me to the banquet, and it wasn't me who came to pursue it, so naturally I am not used to the problem of talented women.

"Come on, let's eat." Luo Zhaoyun picked up the wine jug, poured wine directly for himself, and then turned his head to the maid and said, "There is no need to serve here, you go down to rest first, I have something to communicate with Miss Xue alone." ”

"This—" The maid hesitated and looked at Xue Zhiqing.

"Go ahead." Xue Zhiqing waved her hand and asked the maid to leave, she did have something to talk to deal with, with the maid here, it was not easy to communicate, of course, she trusted Luo Zhaoyun's character as the premise, so she dared to be alone with him and drink and talk.

The maid left, and she was puzzled by the relationship between this Luo Cheng and Little Lady Xue.

Luo Zhaoyun raised his glass and said with a smile: "I don't know how much you drink, I'll do it first as a respect, you are free." ”

It's just a small jade wine cup, and the alcohol content is not high, after Luo Zhaoyun drank it, Xue Zhiqing also sucked a little, which can be regarded as a banquet.

"Is there anything important that the girl invited me here?" Luo Zhaoyun asked.

"Can't I invite you if it's okay?" Xue Zhiqing asked dissatisfiedly.

Luo Zhaoyun smiled: "Hehe, of course I can, the beautiful scenery of a good day, you and I are the same age, if you only talk about Fengyue, Luo is naturally willing, but I have self-knowledge, the girl is not the kind of person who wants to talk about marriage." ”

"Oh, do you know me well?" Xue Zhiqing licked the wine marks on her jade lips, her eyes staring at him, so tender as water.
