Chapter 39: Chinese New Year's Eve in a Cell
"Body? Promises? Jin Luoluo tried to squeeze out these words, and his brows suddenly twisted.
Ye Qingqiu nodded, in the dim light, Jin Luoluo didn't see Ye Qingqiu's slightly crimson ears, only saw his slightly curved eyebrows and eyes, and slightly raised lips, and always felt that he had a hint of banter and carelessness.
However, Ye Qingqiu looked at her so seriously, as if he was patiently waiting for her to answer.
"Young master......" Jin Luoluo bit his lip, and after half a sound, he was embarrassed to squeeze out the words of refusal.
Ye Qingqiu did her such a favor, she rejected her at this moment, would she be too white-eyed wolf?
But do you want her to marry him? She's highly educated!
She has been here for some time, and she knows what the status of the concubine is here. Not to mention that the identity of the concubine must be pressed by the wife at all times, that is to say, if she marries Ye Qingqiu, she may face the torture of the perverted Ouyang Chenxi at any time. Just because the concubine's future life depends on Ye Qingqiu's grace, which makes her feel too difficult to accept.
Although Ye Qingqiu may be a little interested in her now, what about after a while?
Isn't Sanliu a living example?
When he liked Sanliu, he wanted to accept Sanliu as a concubine despite all obstacles, and he ignored the etiquette and secular vision of the concubine, and insisted on doing a lot of things in the house. However, how long did his liking for Sanliu last?
But......
Jin Luoluo's brow frowned even more! Now that Ye Qingqiu saved her life after all, she also admits that she has a good impression of Ye Qingqiu, but does she really want her to sacrifice the freedom of the rest of her life to fulfill her kindness to Ye Qingqiu?
"Hey, forget it! Then you have a sad face! Young Master Ben has taken back what he just said! Ye Qingqiu looked like he was a little impatient waiting for an answer, so he ended Jin Luoluo's entanglement.
Jin Luoluo raised his eyes and pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but after all, he still didn't say anything.
"It's so difficult for you to make a promise?" Ye Qingqiu sighed.
"......" Jin Luoluo frowned, if Ye Qingqiu was a little tougher, maybe she really agreed just now.
"However, Young Master Ben does not have the habit of forcing girls from good families! Isn't it just a little girl, you don't want to marry Young Master Ben, some people are willing to marry! Moreover, they are all thousands of times more beautiful than you! Ye Qingqiu Man didn't care.
"Thank you...... Thank you, young master, for your success. Jin Luoluo lowered his eyes and said with some shame.
"However, Young Master Ben is puzzled, they all say that Young Master Ben is suave and suave, and his appearance is better than Pan An, all the women who have seen Young Master Ben are fascinated by Young Master Ben, why hasn't your heart moved at all?"
Jin Luoluo drooped her ears in shame, in fact, she was attracted to Ye Qingqiu, but she was embarrassed to tell Ye Qingqiu.
"Young Master Ben really doubts that your heart is made of stone! If Young Master Ben was so good to other women, that woman would have cried and shouted that Young Master Ben would not marry! ”
As soon as he said this, Jin Luoluo blushed even more. She always felt that she couldn't live up to Ye Qingqiu's great kindness.
"But what about ......" Ye Qingqiu looked thoughtful, rubbed his chin lightly, and said: "Maybe Young Master Ben is cheap, the more you treat Young Master Ben, the more Young Master Ben wants to be good to you!" ”
"No......" Jin Luoluo's small voice did not escape Ye Qingqiu's ears.
Ye Qingqiu raised his eyebrows: "Huh? What not? ”
Jin Luoluo sighed, raised his eyes and said, "It's not that the young master is cheap, it's that I don't want to be the second Sanliu." ”
"Oh......" The corners of Ye Qingqiu's lips hooked up a touch of self-deprecation, and said with a smile: "Your worries are not unreasonable." In that case, then Master Ben will forgive you! ”
Jin Luoluo looked at Ye Qingqiu, couldn't help laughing, and said, "The young master really knows yourself thoroughly. ”
Ye Qingqiu shrugged helplessly, looking unconcerned, successfully hiding his slightly lost heart.
In the next few days, Ye Qingqiu would come to the prison every three to five days to visit Jin Luoluo to see if she was not feeling well in prison. However, Ye Qingqiu's silver was also sufficient, and the jailers did not let her suffer any grievances.
In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
On this day, Master Ye took Ye Qingqiu and his eight concubines to carry out a grand ancestor worship activity in the mansion. After the end, the lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began. Master Ye glanced at the hall, didn't see Ouyang Chenxi, frowned slightly, and then came to Ouyang Chenxi's courtyard silently.
"Dawn." Old Master Ye's deep voice sounded in the courtyard.
Ouyang Chenxi came out when he heard the voice, saw Master Ye, and asked suspiciously, "Master Ye, but what's the matter?" ”
Master Ye smiled and said, "Hurry up and celebrate the New Year together!" ”
Ouyang Chenxi excused himself and said: "Master Ye, Chenxi hasn't passed the door yet, so it is not etiquette to participate in the annual meeting of Ye Mansion like this." ”
"We don't have so much red tape in Yefu, you will know when you marry in the future. You are alone in Mandu City, is it difficult to live so alone this year? ”
"This ......" Ouyang Chenxi was a little embarrassed.
"Let's go, Dawn. Not long after the New Year, it will be your wedding with Qiu'er, and when you and Qiu'er have a wedding, they will be a family, and they still care about what they do! ”
Ouyang Chenxi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Then Master Ye, you go first, Chenxi will come over in a bright clothes." ”
"Well, hurry up!"
When Old Master Ye returned to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, his concubines were all lined up on either side of him, pouring him wine and toasting him one by one. Master Ye also took advantage of this to distribute the red envelopes that had been prepared long ago. The concubines happily took the red envelopes one by one and thanked Master Ye again and again.
At this time, I saw Ouyang Chenxi change into a red gold silk peony embroidered robe with silver and white fox fur strokes, and Lianbu came to the banquet. Master Ye hurriedly smiled and said, "Chenxi, come on, sit by Qiu'er's side." ”
As he spoke, Master Ye pointed in the direction of Ye Qingqiu, and then, Master Ye and Ouyang Chenxi were both stunned. At the important moment when the family sat together to spend the New Year, Ye Qingqiu didn't know when he was gone!
Old Master Ye scolded hatefully: "This stinky boy, I don't know where to run, and I won't fall into the house in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve!" After scolding, he smiled and said to Ouyang Chenxi: "Don't worry about Chenxi, just sit down, the old man has prepared a big red envelope for you!" ”
Ouyang Chenxi pulled out an embarrassed smile, took the red envelope in Master Ye's hand, and immediately sat down at the banquet.
Eating the jade plate delicacies in front of him, Ouyang Chenxi only felt that the taste was the same as chewing wax.
It's been a few days, and there has been no news of the beheading of that woman to show the public, which also makes Ouyang Chenxi gradually feel uneasy, always worried that that woman can still have a chance to survive.
Especially these days, Ye Qingqiu is often not in the house.
Ouyang Chenxi always felt that he had gone to see the woman. If Ye Qingqiu wanted to save that woman, with Ye Fu's ability, that woman would inevitably not escape this punishment.
Ouyang Chenxi's lowered eyes sank more and more in the dim halo.
She couldn't sit back any longer!
.
After Ye Qingqiu finished worshipping his ancestors, he left the house and got into the carriage and went straight to the prison cell of the mansion.
"Little Eight, look what Young Master Ben has brought you." Ye Qingqiu's recent visit to the cell was like coming to his second home, and the jailers were already surprised. I saw Ye Qingqiu holding the food wrapped in oil paper and went straight into Jin Luoluo's cell.
Jin Luoluo is still disappointed that he is going to be alone for the New Year's Eve today, but he didn't expect Ye Qingqiu to appear in the cell on New Year's Eve. This surprised Jin Luoluo, and then asked, "What?" ”
"Pig's trotters." Ye Qingqiu held the pig's trotters cut into several petals in front of Jin Luoluo through the oil paper, and said, "You must eat pig's trotters in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so that you can scratch your luck in the coming year!" ”
Jin Luoluo's eyes were hot, and she stretched out her hand to take the pig's trotters that Ye Qingqiu had brought for her. Although she had never heard of pig's trotters in modern times, Ye Qingqiu actually brought her pig's trotters all the way to this place for an auspicious meaning, or on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Jin Luoluo's heart couldn't help but be moved again, and he picked up the pig's trotters and began to gnaw on them.
"Well, it's delicious!" Jin Luoluo admired while gnawing.
Ye Qingqiu just looked at her with a smile, and the slightly raised curve of his lips made him look as if he was appreciating something very interesting.
Jin Luoluo lowered his eyes slightly, swallowed the pig's trotters in his mouth, and said, "Young master, you can go back quickly after sending the pig's trotters." Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, if you don't go back, Old Master Ye should be anxious. ”
Ye Qingqiu smiled again, half-lay down on the only thin bed in the cell, supported his head lazily in his palms, and said, "Young Master Ben won't go back tonight, I'll stay here with you for the New Year." ”
Hearing this, Jin Luoluo was chewing on the mouth of the pig's trotters, looked up and said in a daze: "You spent the New Year in the prison cell?" ”
"Uh-huh." Ye Qingqiu was still lazy.
"Young master, wouldn't this be unlucky?" Jin Luoluo frowned and asked worriedly.
"What is auspicious and unlucky, this young master is not taboo about these." Ye Qingqiu continued to say lazily, "Besides, let you be a little maid and spend the New Year alone in the prison cell, and Young Master Ben can't bear it." ”
"Young master......" Jin Luoluo's face was grateful.
"Don't call me so tearfully like this, you will only make Young Master Ben feel that you are more pitiful and miserable!"
"Oh......" Jin Luoluo lowered his eyes and continued to nibble on the pig's trotters in his hand.
I thought that the first year of coming to this continent would be spent alone, but I didn't expect that Ye Qingqiu would accompany her to keep the New Year, and it was not taboo at all that this was in a prison cell.
Jin Luoluo's lonely and empty heart was surrounded by Ye Qingqiu's warmth in an instant.
Ye Qingqiu is like a thick flame that burns all the time, even the most cold heart can be melted by him.
Jin Luoluo's heart was melted by Ye Qingqiu little by little until it completely disintegrated into a pool of spring water.
"Huh?" Ye Qingqiu's voice interrupted Jin Luoluo's thoughts, only to see Ye Qingqiu frowning and asking, "What tastes sour and sour?" ”
Jin Luoluo was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Why didn't I smell it?" ”
Ye Qingqiu frowned and sniffed, and said, "It's like a ...... Dried plum cabbage with the flavor of stinky tofu and sweet garlic? After speaking, Ye Qingqiu moved his body and began to sniff around, and finally, sniffed the top of the sheets.
"Vomit...... Hachi, why does your bed stink so much, how long has it been since you took a bath! Ye Qingqiu was so stinky that he immediately covered his nose and jumped up from the bed.
"Forehead......" Jin Luoluo touched his nose in shame, one moment he felt that Ye Qingqiu was warm, and the next moment he felt that his poisonous tongue was really hurtful. Jin Luoluo said sullenly: "I haven't taken a bath since I came in." ”
"Oh, I'm a good girl! You'd better stay away from Young Master Ben tonight, lest it stink Young Master Ben!" ”
Jin Luoluo felt a little aggrieved and defended: "The sheet sent by the jailer is already stinky, I don't know how many people have slept on it before." ”
"You still want to make excuses for your sloppiness!"
"What an excuse, besides, I can't wash it if I want to."
