Chapter 18: The Gluttonous Tanuki

I temporarily stayed in the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong and set up camp. Seeing that I had not brought the servant woman to salute at any time, my stepmother was naturally a little suspicious of the Crazy Stone's words, but wisely did not ask much, but only enthusiastically showed me a place to live, and answered the request of the worm, and was close to her chamber.

After some enlightenment on the road, most of the anger in my heart had disappeared, and I was swayed by insects, and we talked until late at night, and then I reluctantly went back to her adjacent room, turned off the lights and fell on the bed, and slept comfortably.

It should be that I haven't been asleep for long, and I feel that something is wrong in a daze, which is a woman's intuition, and I always feel as if there is a gaze watching at me, with a rela that can't be broken, can't be broken, and can't be melted, it's a little vigilant. Then a warm snort sprayed on my face, and I became more and more sure that there was someone around me! And it's lying right next to me.

I remember sleeping with the door closed and bolted on purpose. Then the person who came must have entered through the window. is so bold, the loyal and brave marquis dares to break through, and wants to plot against him! It's just that he bullied me Gu Liangci, this kind of rat thief even dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, how can I, Su Qingwen, be bullied by anyone?

I remained silent, still with my eyes closed, but there was a nameless fire in my heart, secretly ready to attack, suddenly raised my legs, exerted my nursing strength, kicked at the person next to the bed, turned over and quickly touched the silver needle by the pillow, buckled it in the palm of my hand, and shot it all out without a head.

The visitor did not watch out, and I kicked him firmly, rolling from the edge of the bed to the ground, "plopping" a muffled sound, and then "ding ding dong" a few slight sounds, and all the silver needles were swept to the ground by the palm wind.

I opened my eyes suddenly, and before I could get used to the darkness of the room, I felt the kill, and a carp jumped up, jumped out of bed barefoot, and stabbed at the source of the sound before the villain could react.

The man was so good at it that he grabbed my wrist and snatched the dagger from my hand, and then I couldn't support it and fell into his arms.

In the panic, I knew that I was no match, and I opened my mouth to scream, but the thief had already rolled over, crushed me under him, and then covered my mouth.

In the darkness, a pair of sparkling eyes stared at me, with a playful smile.

"Sister Qingwu, Sister Qingwu, what's wrong with you?" Outside the door, there was the slightly worried sound of insects.

A kiss as light as a dragonfly landed on my ear, and then the hand covering my mouth let go.

I breathed a sigh of relief and stared at him viciously: "It's okay, it's just a greedy and fishy raccoon, it shocked me." ”

There was a chuckle in my ear, and a more delicate kiss fell on my ear and neck: "This analogy is appropriate." ”

"If you get another inch, believe it or not, I will make you regret it for half your life!" My arm was still tightly clamped by him, and I whispered a threat through gritted teeth.

"Who are you talking to, Sister Qingwu, hasn't the tanuki been driven away yet?" The bug yawned, and there was a languid voice in his voice.

"Oh, let's go, let's go." I said in a panic that if a bug came in and saw such an embarrassed and ambiguous look, I wouldn't laugh to death.

"If you're afraid, I'll sleep with you, you wait for me a while, and I'll go back to my room and get a pillow." After the bug finished speaking, he "kicked, tapped" and turned away, "oops", I don't know where it hit.

The man on the body snorted in annoyance and pecked me heavily on the neck: "It seems that I can't steal incense today." ”

Then he jumped up and rolled out from the wide open window, as light as a tanuki.

"The Prodigal Son!" I smacked softly, and immediately a head reached over from the window and lowered my voice: "You called me?" ”

"Phew!" I didn't expect him to go and come back, I scolded with a stiff face: "Shameless! ”

"Uh, today, I'm sorry..... I don't know if I took a sample of the clothes and put them in your room. He said embarrassedly, and immediately retracted his head. There was the sound of bug kicks outside, and I quickly got up from the ground, patted myself on the ground, and went over to open the door.

"How do I seem to hear someone talking?" The bug muttered in a daze.

I was a little embarrassed and distracted, and before I could think of any excuse to prevaricate, the insect had already climbed into my bed and fell asleep with its eyes closed and sleepwalking.

When I woke up the next day, the worm completely forgot about the previous night, and even wondered how he could be in my bed. After breakfast, she happily dragged me to the courtyard where she raised Gu, although she was already mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she entered. I remember that when the insects came, they didn't carry many salutes, and I don't know where she got so many kinds of insects from in just a month after she stayed in the capital for a short month.

The insect proudly pulled me and chattered to me about her Gu worms, their living habits, and their special functions. I was completely hooked. It wasn't until noon that the next person came to urge and remind us for the second time, and we realized that it was already lunch time.

The insect pulled me and talked and laughed all the way to the dining room, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw the gluttonous civet cat from last night sitting in the main seat of the dining room, pushing cups and changing lamps with my father-in-law and Crazy Stone, talking and laughing.

I froze at the door, and the insect managed to choke the jade bell-like laughter in his throat, coughed softly, turned his head to look at me, and grimaced.

"My sister-in-law just came over yesterday afternoon, and this mother's bed is not warm yet, so Lord Qi can't rest assured, come and pick it up?" My stepmother turned to see me and joked with a smile.

I turned my head in embarrassment, my face tensed, but I pricked up my ears to listen.

"Aunt said and laughed, she missed her stepmother, she wanted to go over the house to bother and live for a few days, she left in a hurry, and I forgot to bring the medical books I read every day, so I specially sent them over, and I ate a meal by the way."

said it in a high-sounding manner, as if it were true, and his face was not even a little blushing, and the aunt's voice was also a little kinder. I couldn't help but secretly feel angry and laughing.

"Sister Qingwu, where did you forget to bring the medical book, I think she forgot to bring the Qi Wangye." The bug muttered quietly, a little disappointed.

The people in the room are all deaf and clear, where can they not hear, the cold words still do not change their faces, and take a sip of tea: "Don't bring it, I don't take the initiative to send it to the door myself." ”

Crazy Stone directly choked on a sip of wine, and stepped forward to pull the insect's hand: "Where are there so many mouths, why don't you come over and eat quickly." ”

The stepmother forced a smile, pointed to the seat in front of Liang Ci, and greeted me warmly: "Sister-in-law, come and sit here." ”

My cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and I glared at the culprit with shame and anger before I sat down beside him.

Liang Ci stretched out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables for me, and said in a low voice: "Eat more, I only found out yesterday that you have lost weight." ”

I suddenly remembered what happened in my room yesterday, and my face couldn't help but burn again, and I snorted softly.

"Did you get used to sleeping yesterday?" Liang Ci asked again.

I secretly twisted it around his waist, suggesting him to shut up.

The insect suddenly raised his face from the bowl and said solemnly to the wild stone: "Sister Qingwu's house yesterday entered a fishy civet cat, which caused Sister Qingwu to toss and turn all night and couldn't sleep well. Ask someone to put a few traps under the window of her room, or she'll come back when she's done." ”

I lowered my head in embarrassment and buried my face in the soup bowl, but I cursed the cold words in my heart.

Liang Ci turned his head seriously and deliberately asked me: "There is no fish in your house, what are the tanuki going to do?" ”

I hatefully bit the bamboo shoots in my mouth to a "creak" sound, squinted my eyes and said to the bug: "Good idea, bug, it's better if you help me with some Gu or something, the kind of medicine that can make the tanuki live in peace for a lifetime." ”

"Well, I hate tanuki too, and I often hum and chirp and fight so much that I can't sleep." The worm replied without raising its head.

Crazy Stone coughed lightly in embarrassment, took two chopsticks and put the Dengying beef in the insect's bowl, and piled it up: "Plug your mouth, and you can just eat." ”

The stepmother should have guessed something, pursed her lips and smiled, her face flushed, and warmly greeted Liang Ci to eat and drink.

Liang Ci held the cup in both hands and respectfully toasted to his father-in-law, who said repeatedly: "Don't dare to be." He lowered his glass insistically.

Crazy Stone grinned and picked up his wine glass to join in the fun, deliberately raising the wine glass in his hand high.

The father-in-law flipped his wrist, pressed down the wine glass of the wild stone with the chopsticks in his hand, did not leak a drop of wine, and reprimanded in a low voice: "There are more and more rules." ”

Crazy Shi took a moment to take a moment, drank all the wine in the cup, and said proudly: "This is the wine that Lord Qi respects his eldest brother, so I naturally have the upper hand." ”

The father-in-law's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened, and he looked at Liang Ci with a surprised face.

Liang Ci unexpectedly showed a rare expression, and arched his hand to his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "There is something I want to ask my uncle and aunt for help." ”

The father-in-law and the mother-in-law glanced at each other suspiciously, and the father-in-law spoke first: "The prince has something to do, but please command." ”

"I want to ask the second elder to be the matchmaker of my Qiwang Mansion, and work hard to help me handle the proposal for employment."

My stepmother was stunned for a moment, then looked at me and laughed happily: "I can't ask for it, I will answer this errand first." ”

When I heard Leng Ci's words, I was a little surprised at first, and then my heart was rolling, and I couldn't tell what it was like, so I slapped the chopsticks in my hand on the table: "Who promised to marry you!" ”

Liang Ci took my hand under the table and clenched it tightly: "Good, let's settle the marriage first, and then discuss whether you marry or not." ”

The bug raised its head in astonishment, fluttered its eyes and asked, "What kind of logic is this?" He was slapped on the head by a wild stone beside him.

The stepmother asked with some concern: "You are the prince of my Chang'an Dynasty, and the marriage has always been given by the queen mother and the emperor, where is the old man of the queen mother?" ”

Liang Ci drank all the wine in the cup in front of him, a little lonely: "I am marrying Qingwen as my wife, whether it is Princess Qi or not, she is the master of my Qi Palace, and that is enough." ”

Looking at his expression, I think that the Queen Mother must have obstructed it in every possible way and was very opposed.

The father-in-law, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke: "Lord Qi, please forgive the old man for being blunt, there is something that is not unpleasant." ”
