Chapter Forty-Six: Undercurrents
"Knock knock—"
"Xingzhu? Got out of bed? Qing Shui asked outside the door
"Uh-huh——?" I replied in a daze, Xu had been looking at the darkness last night, and I was just about to open my eyes when the sunlight outside the window pierced my half-open eyes with pain
"Ahh Hiss-" I cried out in pain as I covered my eyes
"Xingzhu? Awake? Qing Shui continued to ask outside
"Oh! Wake up, wake up! I'm getting up! Is there something wrong?" Qing Shui's urging voice didn't allow me to think about anything else
"My lord said that I didn't need to call you, but it's already noon, and you haven't eaten in the morning, so it's not good to sleep like this," Shimizu explained
"Haha-" The corners of my mouth twitched "Don't bother, you go and get busy, I'll take care of myself"
"I've ordered someone to put the food in the living room of the main hall, you can clean it up and go eat it."
"Oh, good!"
Listening to Qing Shui's footsteps getting farther and farther away, I breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed my messy hair and continued to lie under the covers......
"Huh?!" I suddenly realized something!
"This! This is ......" I looked around in surprise, "This is the Shimizu family!" ”
"Xingzhu" Qing Shui's voice suddenly came from outside the door
"Ahh I screamed in fright
"Xingzhu! What's wrong! Hearing my screams, Qing Shui became nervous, and the force of slamming the door became heavier
"No, no, no! It's okay, it's okay! I patted my chest and explained, "What's the matter?" ”
"Oh, that's right, I just received the news that I want everyone to go to the main hall of the Qing family for a meeting at noon"
"Huh? I'm going too? ”
"Hmm!"
"But I don't know a lot of things, and besides, I had an unpleasant quarrel with your grandfather last time, so I'll forget it," I said
It's true that the last time I fainted, I had a collision with Grandpa Shimizu, and Grandpa Shimizu's attitude was also very scary, I was panicked when I thought about it, let alone see him again
"This time I asked you to go by name, you don't have to worry, adults will go too!"
"My lord? Nightfall! Do you mean Nightfall? "When I heard the name of Nightfall, I felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy
"Hmm!"
I thought about it for a while, but I still didn't want to go, and asked tentatively, "Do I have to go?" ”
"Hmmm! Must go! Qing Shui's tone didn't allow me to refute anymore, so I had to agree.
So, I got up slowly, dressed slowly, washed slowly, and opened the door slowly—
"Star, Xingzhu!" Qing Shui saw me open the door with a frustrated face, and the corners of my mouth twitched in fright
"What!" I said with a sad face, "I can't decide where I'm going, I can't decide my expression."
Qing Shui laughed dryly, handed me a piece of bread and said, "Eat!" I don't have time to eat now, so let's eat when it's over."
I didn't say much, took the bread and nibbled it, and followed Qing Shui to the demon cave in my heart
"Na! Qing Shui "I nibbled on bread, my eyes were unfathomable, and I asked, "Is the situation okay?"
Qing Shui ignored me and continued to walk forward
"Qing family, in addition to Qingfeng, there are a few cronies" I continued to ask
"Xingzhu" Qing Shui stopped suddenly, the sunlight hit the wall, and there was a large shadow on the ground, Qing Shui hid his face in the shadows, so that I couldn't see any of his expressions "Who knows" Qing Shui snorted lightly, and after speaking, he continued walking
"Shimizu?" I was stunned for a moment, wondering if I was wrong, just now, I seemed to see Qing Shui laughing!
Twisting and turning, going around and around, I finally came to the legendary main hall.
A huge building appeared in front of me, I stopped, stared at the main hall for a long time, and asked, "Qing Shui, the main hall of your house is too hidden!" Should I say that your family is big, or should I say that you are cautious? ”
In the past few days when I came to the Qing Shui family, although I haven't been to too many places, I have also secretly observed that the terrain in the Qing family is not like the terrain in the normal family, the terrain in the normal family is connected by branches and branches, various courtyards, and various rooms are connected together, but the terrain of the Qing family is separated by various courtyards, if a newcomer comes to the Qing family without someone to lead, he will definitely get lost, and there is the kind that goes and has no return.
"Come in quickly, it's just us," Qing Shui urged
Hearing this, I felt nervous again, the Qing family master had a bad impression of me, but now, I was late again, and I must have been sneering again.
"My lord, grandpa, someone brought it" Qing Shui walked to the main hall first and said, I followed Qing Shui's footsteps and stood behind Qing Shui, my head kept down, not daring to show my face.
"Behind you, but Jin Xingzhu of the Jin family?" An old voice asked, but it wasn't the Qing Wanli I had seen before.
"Huh?" I looked up in confusion, I didn't know if I didn't look up, and I was startled when I looked up.
There are two seats in front of the main hall, only one person sits there, there are five seats on each side of the main hall, full of people, and they are all old people, in this group of old people, I only know Qing Wanli, Qing Wanli is still sitting in the farthest from me, the first seat on the right side closest to the night death, it can be seen that Qing Wanli's status in the Qing family is still quite high. Behind the seated people stood a crowd of people. This atmosphere and scene really look like a group of family elders interrogating criminals who break the family rules. I couldn't help but feel nervous again.
"Ask you! Why not! Another old voice rang out
"Huh?" I realized, "Yes!" Be! It's Jin Xingzhu" Between the words, I couldn't help but look at Ye Di, I thought he would save me, who knew that Ye Di was sitting there with a pampered face, and his face was full of pride, as if he was looking at my joke. Seeing his virtue, I glared at him fiercely.
"Nonsense! Elders speak! Don't look around! An old man sitting there reprimanded
"Shimizu!" Qing Wanli sent a message "You come here"
"Yes!"
"Oops!" I watched the clear water move forward, and just like that, without the cover of the clear water, I was naked under everyone's eyelids
There was a commotion all around.
"She's Jin Xingzhu—"
"It turns out that Jin Xingzhu looks like this"
"It's pretty good"
"Who is Jin Xingzhu?"
"What is Jin Xingzhu's background?"
"What does she do?"
……
"Ahem!" Qing Wanli spoke, and slammed his crutches on the ground so that people felt majestic, "It's all quiet!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was silence all around.
"Uh-me...... Where to stand? "I'm standing in the middle of the main hall now, and the legendary C position is really embarrassing
"Something that doesn't understand the rules! Did the elders let you speak? An old man sitting in the seat spoke angrily
“???” I'm a little angry, this scolding is so unreasonable!
"The Jin family is really a small family! You can't learn the basic rules! ”
“??? WHAT? "Since that's all said, I don't need to pretend to be weak, who is not a little princess! I glared at the night dead in front of me, and seeing that he still didn't mean to speak, I completely gave up on the idea of him helping me
