Chapter 37 Xuewu 3

I changed into a set of pink and refreshing dresses, slowly moved to the dining room, my father was already sitting at the table waiting for me, even if there were only me and my father two people eating, delicious food still filled a whole table, our father and daughter rarely had a meal at the same table, Dad was very happy, personally served a night of soup in front of me, tonight the chef made my favorite crucian carp soup, fresh crucian carp simmered on low heat with broth, simmered for a few hours, the soup is rich and white, the most delicious, every time I must drink a big bowl

I drank the soup while enjoying it, and watched my father put vegetables in my bowl, and I was used to being naughty and messing around on weekdays, and I was used to the upbringing formed by long-term pampering, but I didn't dare to forget to eat, and I had the elegant demeanor of the young lady of the family, and my father drank a cup of soup and asked me: "In another month, it will be Xi'er's birthday, and Xi'er wants to do it."

I was born in the late autumn, I heard my father say that my mother had labor pains all night, and finally gave birth to me at dawn, when the morning light was slightly dewed, indicating that the weather was fine and the autumn was high, and my father immediately named me Xi, every year, my birthday must be a big operation, and it is a well-known day of celebration in Qinzhou

The most memorable thing for me is that after the guests dispersed, I hid in the garden to open gifts, the spacious bedroom was full of all kinds of boxes, all of which were carefully prepared, I was my father's only daughter, and my father was the lord of a city, and I was notoriously spoiled by these people, and the gifts given to me by my father were rare treasures when taken out individually

But if I like it from the bottom of my heart, I will keep it, and what I don't look down on will be handed over to the housekeeper and uncle to be put into the warehouse for proper storage

Dad once joked with my gift: "When Xi'er gets married, the treasury in the mansion can be free, and then Dad will call a few carriages and give these things to your future husband as your dowry."

Actually, I don't like this kind of banquet very much, most of the people here are people I don't know, listening to them all praise how I look good, and it is strange and awkward, not as funny as doing some fun with my family: "Dad, I want to spend this year's birthday in the other courtyard, you said last time that you would build a hot spring in the other courtyard, I haven't been there."

There are not many hot springs in Qinzhou soup environment, I thought about it once and mentioned it to my father, and my father invited several craftsmen and masters to work day and night to open the canal to attract living water to Qinfu's courtyard in Liangshan, and the construction period lasted from before the Chinese New Year to late autumn, and it was time to end

My father has always been clear about my thoughts, and he agrees: "At the end of autumn, when the scenery of Liangshan is beautiful, Xi'er's idea is good, who else do you want to take with you and my father and daughter on this trip?"

I don't play many children, I can only have a lot of fun, I guess there is only one sister Ying, she is straightforward, quick and reckless, and she gets along much better than those pretending to be ladies, and she goes to Liangshan to eat, drink and have fun, of course, she accompanies me, I blurted out: "Sister Ying, can you go with me?"

Qinzhou has a lot of influence in the two prominent families, one is Dugu, the other is the Murong Dugu family, this generation of rare girls are pinned on the high hopes of Dugu Hao, and my personality is not compatible, I only get very close to the eldest lady of the Murong family, the two families have a close relationship with the Qin Mansion, and share weal and woe, which is also the reason why I look down on Dugu Hao, but I can't make a bad deal with him, Dugu family has the most well-informed news in the world, no matter what the situation, can ensure that Qinzhou is invincible

It seems that just inviting Sister Ying is a bit of a favorite, and I said: "Add another Dugu Hao, the three of us should be more interesting together", in this way, although the adults of the two families were not present, the three children played together, but still revealed the inseparable relationship between Dugu Murong and our Qin Mansion, taking into account the face of our father, Dugu Hao's face is not so hateful

In the final analysis, he didn't do anything rebellious or contrary to the principles of heaven, and he and I were well water, not river water, and no one could hurt anyone

Sure enough, my father looked at me with approving eyes, and I understood that he intended to praise me for being sensible and thoughtful, and some things were arranged by him, and it was inevitable that he would deliberately say it from the mouth of one of my children, but it was natural, but what calculations did my father have in his heart, and I would not know as a daughter

A small bowl of rice under the belly, my belly has been slightly bulging, when I was a child, I had to eat back, I ate a lot of food, and I lost my appetite all day, so I only ate seven or eight points after that, and I didn't dare to be greedy

When Qi Ao first came to Qinfu, I was so happy, I couldn't wait to play with him every day, I just talked about going to Liangshan, I didn't say a word to him in advance, and my attitude changed, and my father also saw the clues, as far as our two children were concerned, the palm of the hand was meat, and the back of the hand was also meat, which he hurt, he didn't ask Qi Ao how to annoy me, but he didn't say lightly: "Qi Ao, the child has a heat stroke and didn't eat anything, he came to Qinzhou, he was a little uncomfortable, you will take a bowl of soup and go to see him for a while."

Dad can't see my reluctance, so many people serve Qi Ao, can I use me to greet him, not to mention that I am the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion, he makes me so annoyed during the day, I don't want to see him again

Dad thought through and persuaded me with good words: "You children, they quarrel and quarrel awkwardly, and usually, Dad sees Qi Ao and is upright, there is no bad heart, and it is impossible to harm your father, and I hope that my daughter is an open-minded person and will not hold grudges against others for a little thing."

"Can Xi'er do it?"

When my father said this, I had to obediently obey: "My daughter will visit him later"

The cook of Qinfu said that the bitter gourd was defeated by the fire and the body of the heatstroke was hot, so he asked me if it was good to boil the bitter gourd soup, I have always been afraid of bitterness, and I thought that I could take the opportunity to be bright and let Qi Ao "endure hardship", I deliberately let the cook put several times more bitter gourd when cooking the soup, and a thin soup was stunned by me into a bowl of sticky paste

I dignified the soup that the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion brought to him with her own hands, and he was embarrassed to say that he didn't drink it, I had to make his tongue so bitter that he couldn't taste it, and he would dare to make me so angry in the future

I thought Qi Ao would lie haggard on the couch to rest, and when I entered the room, I saw him standing in front of the table and practicing calligraphy, and he was sick and did not forget to work hard, no wonder my father and Mr. praised him, in other words, I couldn't do it, I looked closely, and his words were just and vigorously, revealing a natural righteousness, unlike my crooked words that I couldn't handle, even I was embarrassed to look twice

He was very involved, and he didn't notice me, I shook my hand and threw the bitter gourd soup on the table, and the soup almost splashed out, and then he raised his eyes, his face was slightly pale, and his eyes were full of tiredness, and the brilliance of his eyes was not as good as usual, no matter how good the sword dance was, he was not like a sick cat now

"This is what my father specially ordered the cook to do", the implication is that he has to drink if he doesn't drink, and if he doesn't drink, he is disrespectful to my father

"Put it there, I'll drink it after I'm done"

"Do you like to drink or not?"

His voice was weak, and I left the next sentence, turned and left

Behind him, he said helplessly: "Don't you just want me to feel uncomfortable, why do you want to drink it in such an atmosphere, I just drink" I heard him pick up the soup spoon and drink the bowl of bitter gourd paste that was extremely unpalatable, and looked back to see his face calm and waveless, not at all unhappy because of my teasing, I suddenly felt bored, and snatched the soup spoon from his hand: "Don't drink it, I told you not to drink it, did you hear it?"

Why did you play tricks on him, I wasn't as happy as I imagined, but my heart was blocked

"If I don't drink, you're angry, I'm angry when I drink, you're angry, Qin Xi, what should I do so that you won't be angry with me?"

Obviously, he was at fault in the first place, why did he question me, but it became me to be unreasonable

I forced, "I'm not angry, it's none of my business what happens to you."

He smiled, his lips cracked, and said: "Qin Xi, do you know that when you say something against your will, your cheeks will be stiff, your eyes will be sloppy, you have never looked at me properly, this is not your true words"

"If my business really has nothing to do with you, why would you be willing to beg the city lord to let me stay that day, the reason why you are angry is because you care about me, Qin Xi, I am glad that you care about me, at least it means that my existence is meaningful to you"

"I'm so glad to have met you when I lost everything, I'm grateful to you and the Qin City Lord"

He rarely takes things so solemnly, and I am at a loss: "What are you doing here, I don't want you to thank me"

"Qin Xi, you are still too young, you don't know what it is like to have everything and lose everything, looking at the world, there are few people's light skills above me, this is the master's highest praise for me, I am so happy that I can't close my mouth for a few days

Because of my martial arts practice, my size has jumped a lot in the past few years, and I am about to catch up with Sister Ying, who is three years older than me, and my food has also risen, and I am often teased by my father

Qi Ao kept his promise and taught me how to use flying needles to protect myself, I didn't know that a small needle could also become a weapon to defeat the enemy, he said that I am petite and victorious, and when I encounter the enemy flexibly, I should not use powerlessness to confront it head-on, or use some small and delicate hidden weapons, which is more suitable for me, and the flying needle is easy to carry, and can also quench poison, which can invisibly take people's lives, which is conducive to getting out of danger as soon as possible

After getting along with Qi Ao for a few years, we all regard each other as the closest people, except for my father, Qi Ao is the person I care about the most, he is also the person I trust the most, Qi Ao is good at everything, but the only thing that makes me haunted the most is that I can't understand why he became close friends with Dugu Hao
