Chapter 13: The Threat Comes

At this time, neither of them spoke, and there was silence.

"Huh?" Liu Xing'er's jade cheeks were like fire, she covered her face with her hands, and said shyly: "You saw it?" ”

Liu Ming's chest tightened for a whileβ€”he felt as if he saw some body part.

"Cousin......" Liu Xing'er showed tenderness in her eyes, plucked up her courage and said softly, "I'll write a word, will it be good for you?" ”

She took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, spread it in front of the desk, held the wolf pen, and brushed the pen to play with the dragon and the phoenix.

Suddenly, a line of beautiful silk characters appeared in front of Liu Ming-

"Why do you get lotus roots?"

Liu Ming looked at this line of words and immediately understood Xing'er's mind. This is her euphemistically testing her literacy skills and intentions.

Because of the lotus, the lotus root is homophonic with "he", and the "lotus" is homophonic with "even".

What is the reason for the lotus root - by what means can you get a good couple?

Such a pair that is slightly challenging but examines the essence of the chest, I am afraid that only the well-educated Liu Xinger can do it.

If you can't guess the meaning of this sentence, it will naturally disappoint the other party. However, if you just say the answer directly, it will seem that there is no ink on your chest.

He pondered for a moment, then picked up the brush and wrote the next couplet beside it.

A line of vigorous font is now on the rice paper.

"There are apricots and no plums."

Apricot is homophonic with "luck", and it is fortunate that there is no need for a medium. It means that you have been appreciated by the other party, and you don't even need a matchmaker. In this sentence, Liu Ming made a pun - this apricot word also corresponds to the other party's name.

Liu Xinger is smart and clever, when she sees this line of words, how can she not understand, her face shows sweetness, and she is overjoyed.

Under the candlelight of the two people, it was you and me, whispering, but they heard a quick knock outside the door.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Liu Ming Xing'er winked at her and signaled her not to panic.

Liu Xing'er bit her lip and asked, "Who?" ”

If it was an ordinary maid, she could naturally find a reason not to let her enter the house.

"It's me......" A familiar female voice came into the room.

Liu Ming's head suddenly grew bigger.

"It's me...... Apricot, your aunt. Didn't you say that you helped me embroider a square handkerchief and called me to pick it up tonight. ”

Liu Wu's shrill voice sounded outside the door.

"Ah...... This ......" Liu Xing'er suddenly remembered this incident, and was suddenly a little helpless. It's really a coincidence that I didn't write a book, but I clearly agreed to my aunt and asked her to get a handkerchief.

"Auntie...... I'm not feeling well, or ...... You're coming tomorrow? Liu Xinger said.

"Early tomorrow morning, I asked Zhang and Li's wives to visit the bird market. I told people that our apricot's female red is doing very well. They are all waiting to see what you have. What's wrong, Apricot is not feeling well? Let my aunt see ......"

Liu Xing'er knew that the longer she hid it, the more it would arouse Liu Wu's suspicions.

Liu Ming pointed under the bed, meaning to get into it himself.

"Don't get into that...... There's no room for you. Liu Xing'er said hurriedly, "Why don't you ...... Either ......" A red cloud swept across her face, "or you ......"

The situation was urgent, and Liu Ming had to find a way out. There is not even a wooden cabinet in this apricot's house, where can I hide? He suddenly saw the thick layers of quilts on the bed, and made up his mind that he could only burrow into the quilt and cover the two quilts on his body.

"Hey...... You ......" Liu Xing'er saw her cousin burrowing into the bed, and her face turned even redder. However, at the moment, there is no way to do it.

Liu Ming arched around on the bed, shrunk back, and finally hid.

After seeing that Liu Ming was hiding, Xing'er calmed her breath and opened the door.

"Xing'er, why did you open the door for so long?" Liu Wu complained that she had waited for a long time before she almost rushed in.

"Auntie, I ......" Liu Xing'er naturally couldn't answer.

"Alright, alright. Where's the handkerchief? Bring it to my aunt. Liu Wu urged.

Taking the handkerchief, Liu Wu praised while admiring, "Our apricots are ingenious. This embroidered handkerchief is more elaborate than the one in the shop outside. Liu Wu wiped the handkerchief rarely, "Xing'er, you are not too young, haven't you thought about your marriage?" ”

Liu Xing'er blushed, unconsciously looked at her quilt, and said, "Auntie, I'm still young." ”

"It's not small, it's not small. You're five out of ten, and you're in the middle of nowhere. In another year, it will be broken. Liu Wu persuaded, "Your aunt and I are also married to your uncle at about this age." If we are women, we will marry sooner or later. ”

"I ......"

"All right, kid. Rest assured, your marriage is covered by your aunt. What kind of are you looking for? Liu Wu asked.

"I want to find a ......" Liu Xing'er plucked up her courage and bit her lip and said, "People who are brave and resourceful, full of economy, and can be kind to Xing'er." ”

"Silly boy, if you can marry a rich and powerful son, you will burn high incense. And to be kind to you? Could it be ...... Trying to save your life? Liu Wu said strangely.

"Auntie......" Xing'er's face turned extremely red, and she unconsciously glanced at the futon beside her.

At this time, Liu Ming was bored in the quilt, but he listened to it like honey, Yu Xing'er was kind, who else could be more gracious than saving her life in the lotus pond?

He thought to himself, in his previous life, he was alone and alone, and he was fortunate to have so many family members in this life. If you can stay with Xing'er again, grow old together, and have children around your knees, you will have no regrets in life.

That Liu Wu, how could she know the thoughts in Xing'er's heart, she just thought that this Xing'er was demanding, and said, "Don't worry, Xing'er." Auntie will definitely find you a good one. ”

"That's right, Apricot. When the time comes, the wedding room will be arranged for you by my aunt. Liu Wu looked around, "This furniture, let your uncle buy you a new set." Many of them are old and need to be replaced. ”

She stared at a corner of the room and frowned, "The futon on this bed is too old. I'll take ......a look," Liu Wu said, and walked over to the bed, reaching for the thickly folded bedding......

"Ahh There was a scream from the boudoir.

Liu Wu's hand trembled, and he looked back at Xing'er: "What's wrong?" ”

"I ......" Liu Xing'er's brain spun fast, "Auntie...... I forgot I was going to sleep......" he walked to the bed, looked at the futon, took a breath, bit his lip, and got into the bed.

Liu Ming, who was in the bed, was also shocked. I saw that the futon opened a corner, and a breeze sent it.

He thought to himself - this is going to be a cave room?

Liu Ming's head was covered in the quilt, smelling a faint body fragrance, and he couldn't help but peek at Xing'er's delicate figure, silky silky hands, and slender and straight legs.

Liu Ming suddenly felt a little obscene, and he took advantage of the danger of others, and turned his head away with his eyes closed.

The bed that Apricot slept in was not big, and although the two were very careful, skin intimacy was inevitable. And with every unintentional touch, the bodies of the two would tremble slightly.

Lonely men and widows, sharing a bed.

This golden-scented nephrite nest made Liu Ming's heart surge.

He didn't dare to move his body, for fear that the Liu Wu clan would find out the clue. If he is caught in the same room, he can still argue with it. But if he was found in bed this time, it would be a yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants - I can't tell why.

Liu Ming was extremely nervous, for fear of being caught by the Liu Wu clan. He hid in the quilt, holding his breath, listening to the conversation between the quilt and the Liu Wu clan.

"Auntie, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired and want to rest early."

"Alright then, Apricot, you have to pay attention to your body. Go to bed early......"

Then, Liu Ming heard the creak of the deadbolt turning, and there was a soft knock of "bang", and the room returned to calm.

"Hmm......" Liu Ming finally let out a long sigh, and his tense body relaxed.

"You're not out yet?" Liu Xing'er sat on the bed, blushing, shy and anxious.

"A manly man, if you can't say it, you won't come out." Liu Ming said resolutely.

"Hurry up!"

Liu Ming only felt that his arm was being grabbed by someone, and he was desperately pulling out, and his center of gravity suddenly lost his balance, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Oops." Liu Ming sat on the ground, covering his head, "Xing'er, is that how you treat your husband?" ”

Liu Ming's face was also a little thicker at this time.

Hearing this sentence, Liu Xing'er's face turned red to the root of her ears, and she lowered her head and said, "Why are you so shameless." ”

Although he said that he was shameless, his voice was not reproachful, and his eyes were even more tender.

"I'm going to be shameless with you." Liu Ming was moved for a while, and he also said sincerely.

His eyes stared at Apricot, and Apricot's eyes also rolled, and her gaze moved slowly, opposite him.

The previous secret eyebrows, and the previous lovesickness under the moon, have now converged and condensed.

The two looked at each other, and their hearts were connected in an instant, and there was no need to say more, the other party's affection was already clear in their chests.

However, it is not advisable to stay here for long.

"I'm leaving." Liu Ming stood up, turned his head to look at Xing'er, and said seriously, "One day, I want to come in openly." ”

The apricot on the bed lowered her eyes and nodded solemnly and slightly shyly.

Back in the room, Liu Ming went to bed, and there were still warm scenes in his mind. The time spent alone with Xing'er seemed to make him feel the beauty of life in the Song Dynasty.

The corners of his mouth grinned slightly, his head rested on the soft pillow, and he fell asleep sweetly.

On the second day, he slept until three o'clock in the morning, and his dreams were all related to apricots, so that when he got up in the morning, he still remembered the sleeping together last night, and even the kiss of his skin.

Liu Ming hummed a small tune, finished washing, pushed open the door, and breathed in the fresh air with the fragrance of flowers and plants in the courtyard.

I saw the subordinates and maids in the courtyard, scurrying around, shouting to each other, and looking extremely busy.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ming stopped a maid and asked.

The incense ring was blessed, and said with a slight smile: "Young master, there is joy in the house." Those of us who are busy with things are busy. ”

"What's the joy of?"

"You don't know yet? Our eldest lady Apricot is married. ”

"What?" Liu Ming's ears were ringing, and he took a few steps backwards. He said anxiously, "How can you get married?" ”

Where did the maid know Liu Ming's thoughts, she replied, "Miss Xing'er is also ten or five years old, and she looks like a flower and a moon, and it is not normal to be married." ”

"Who's the one who proposed the kiss?"

The maid held her cheeks and said with envy on her face: "This is the old lady's hand-led, it is said that Xing'er's Langjun is a county official, and his power is not small." It seems like...... His surname is Yang, and he is a master of history. ”

"Classics?" Liu Ming's heart sank, and he suddenly recalled that a few months ago, when he redeemed his uncle Liu Yong, he heard the secret conversation of the shopkeeper six monkeys in the Moon Tower.

Not to mention anything else, the history of the canon seems to be involved in a conspiracy, just listening to the voice, you know that it is not the oil lamps of the provinces. If Xing'er marries, she will definitely be in danger and implicated.

However, is this classic history the history of another canon?

Liu Ming was lucky, took a breath, and asked, "How many canons are there in this county?" ”

The little maid blinked her eyes and said with great certainty:

"Just one."
