Chapter Twenty-Three: Spring
Early the next morning.
The first rays of morning light fell on the couch through the window, the room was full of spring light, the woman turned over, the futon slipped down on her waist, her snow-white skin was covered with large and small red marks, Qing Ning frowned, and then she was so tired that she continued to fall asleep.
Xiao Jingyi sat at the table, looking intently at the woman on the couch, her sleeping face was very well-behaved, like the cats raised by the concubines in the palace, she was very well-behaved when she slept, and when she woke up, she was so vivid.
This is his woman, he thought to himself, such a lifetime, enough.
Xiao Jingyi looked at her quietly and couldn't help but be distracted.
When Qingning woke up, Yu Qing had already gone out to work, and she was about to get up, but when she moved, her whole body was torn and painful.
"It's ruthless!" Qing Ning scolded, how can this man not know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade so much! Tears began to fill the corners of her eyes, and the pain made her unable to move.
After a long time, Qingning got up and poured a cup of hot tea, last night she shouted and broke her throat, her throat was hoarse, and now she drank a sip of hot tea, it hurts......
Qing Ning frowned, and scolded Yu Qing several times in her heart.
After a while, it suddenly crackled outside, and it rained, and the raindrops fell on the roof, the sound was pleasant, and suddenly thunder sounded in the sky, the rain came in a hurry, Qingning looked at the smoke and rain outside the window, she quickly took out an oil-paper umbrella from the house, and hurriedly walked out.
Qingning climbed all the way up the mountain along the trail, and saw Yu Qing carrying a hoe down the mountain from a distance, and she felt heartbroken when she saw him coming from the spring breeze and drizzle.
Xiao Jingyi saw her holding an oil-paper umbrella and was stunned in place, and hurriedly walked towards her.
"How did it come out?" He asked.
Qing Ning pursed his lips and glared at him, only to see him take her umbrella with a smile and protect her in his arms.
When the two returned to the house, it didn't take long for the spring rain to stop.
Xiao Jingyi carried her back on the couch and told her to rest, his hand caressed her waist, and he felt that he had taken care of her for a few years, and he had become a lot more rounded, and he was skinny when he rescued her before.
——
In the afternoon, the two of them were sleeping at noon, and most of Qing Ning's body was pressed on his body, and the wind was blowing outside, mild with some coolness.
Suddenly, there was a low knock at the door.
"Jingjia? Jingjia? Wan Ling asked from outside.
Qingning woke up in a daze, only to see Yu Qing on the side turn over and continue to sleep. Qing Ning had no choice but to put on her clothes and walk to open the door.
"What's wrong?" She asked, sleepy.
Wan Ling glanced inside the room, and saw that Yu Qing was sleeping at noon, so she pulled Qing Ning out and said softly, "Do you know that there are a group of officers and soldiers in the town, saying that they are investigating the princess of the former dynasty, and the princess has a mole in her finger." After that, before Qingning could react, Wan Ling grabbed her hand and spread out her fingers, only to see a mole on her index finger, and Wan Ling covered her mouth in surprise.
"You ......" Qing Ning was also stunned, she hurriedly said, "Don't say it!" ”
Seeing that she had an excellent appearance, even if her identity was extraordinary, it was not surprising, so she didn't take it to heart, but told her about the Lin family's proposal the day before yesterday.
"The Lin family is really a shameless one! said that marrying me as a concubine was to promote me, because the Lin family has been married for many years, and his wife's stomach has not moved, saying that let me marry, if I give birth to a son and a half daughter, I can also be rewarded with a few more mouthfuls of food. Suzu stomped her foot angrily.
Qing Ning is also an anxious person, shouting that he wants to reason with the Lin family and vow to repair them.
"If you go with me today, you will meet the aunt of the Lin family who doesn't know whether she is alive or dead! How dare you bully my people! Don't die! Qing Ning pulled her and wanted to go down the mountain.
Wan Ling hurriedly persuaded her and said, "Although my family is poor, I will not sell my sons and daughters. ”
"Thou hast been so kind to let him go, and thou hast said thou hast done unto me? Anger me for no reason! Qing Ning was angry that she didn't act.
"If there is a next time, I will definitely come to the door with you to scold the Lin family angrily!" Wan Ling said.
"That's very good, I'll ask Yu Qing to go to the town to buy some things another day, so that I can go and see what kind of gateway the Lin family has, and I look down on the people in Qingshui Village so much!" Qing Ning said.
——
A few days later, the Lin family sent people to Chen's house again, and it happened that Qingning was a guest at Chen's house, and the matchmaker knocked on Chen's door with a few livestock.
"Who's that?" Qing Ning asked as he stood in the courtyard and looked at the wooden fence.
"The Lin family, the girl is the bell?" The matchmaker asked.
"You're welcome, but you call this girl by her name." Qing Ning made it difficult for her.
"Is it a slave's family, I don't know what to call the girl?" Although the matchmaker was unhappy, she still asked in a low voice.
"Didn't this girl reject the Lin family? How did it come again? Qing Ning asked rhetorically.
"Last time, the Lin family didn't send anyone to talk to the matchmaker, and this time I asked the slave family to come because I wanted to settle this family business." The matchmaker laughed.
"Didn't the Lin family let me be a concubine? Some time ago, the Meng family and the Wu family came to propose marriage, but they were both married wives. Qing Ning gave her a blank look.
"How can it be compared, although it is a concubine, the Lin family is a big family, and the girl is a hard-working person, and now she can marry a good family, and she won't have to suffer in the future." The matchmaker persuaded word by word.
"Big family? But they are all vegetarians, and they are just a farmer, so why do they still look down on people? If you can persuade the Lin family to divorce his wife and help me sit upright, you can come here again! With that, Qing Ning turned around and walked into the house.
Yun Ling stayed in the room and heard it clearly, it can be said that she was frightened, and when Qing Ning walked into the house, she couldn't help but praise a few words.
At sunset, when Xiao Jingyi came down the mountain to pick her up, Qing Ning was talking and laughing with Yunling, and heard laughter and laughter from a distance, Xiao Jingyi couldn't help but ask her why she was so happy.
"It's really gratifying to humiliate the Lin family today." Qing Ning explained.
As it was, Xiao Jingyi doted on her and asked her to say goodbye to the bell and return to the mountain before sunset.
——
At night, Xiao Jingyi blew out the candle flame and returned to the couch in the dark.
"Come to the town with me tomorrow, and I want to see where the Lin family comes from." Qing Ning hugged him and said.
"Don't cause trouble, the officers and soldiers have been investigating closely recently." Xiao Jingyi bit her ear and said.
"Don't bother me anymore." Qing Ning was about to push him away, but he was so strong that the whole person was pressed on her body, and he couldn't push him away.
Qing Ning thought to himself, if he was the emperor, he would definitely not be the lord of the early dynasty!
——
Xiao Jingyi was quite sorry this time, relying on Yuehua kissing her cheek, every time at this time, he was confused, only feeling that she was soft all over, and it would break if she touched it.
——
"It hurts......," she called out delicately.
Xiao Jingyi paused and deliberately lightened.
——
At night, the moon was in the sky and gradually disappeared into the clouds.
The beautiful spring light fell into this house.
