If he likes someone, he naturally won't let her be like a canary in the cage of the palace, playing with the ladies of other people's families. She deserves to be by her side, and she deserves to be admired and sighed by the world. Not to mention her talent, let's just say that the uprightness in her heart and the original intention that have not changed after a thousand times are enough to beat the tens of millions of sons and daughters in the world who are running for fame and fortune.

Xiao Qinglang rarely promised, he was not a wooden person, but he knew that a promise was worth a thousand dollars. But in the face of Xu Chu, who made him pity and love, he did not hesitate to abandon his principles. What's more, he did have the idea of staying with her for the rest of his life.

Without hesitation, he reached out and carefully held Xu Chu's slightly cold hand, and said in a low voice: "When you are willing, I will inform the brothers and sisters in the family that Ming Media is marrying and you are the only one in your life." ”

Xu Chu only felt that when he heard such love words, his heart trembled, and even everything in the outside world was silent, only his oath echoed in his ears. After waiting for a long time, she suppressed the faint uneasiness in her heart, looked up with a determined gaze, and the right hand curled up in his hand was also clasped together.

Probably she is not deeply in love now, and even worries and hesitates about the hardships and setbacks she will face in the future. But, at least, for now, she was willing to try to join him. As for those concerns, it's never too late to worry about them later.

Although the weather was cold, the hands of the two of them were extremely warm. Xiao Qinglang wandered his gaze and saw her slightly reddened cheeks and neck, and then a white neckline comparable to clotted cream, and a curve covered by a moon-white cotton skirt......

Suddenly, he felt a thirst in his throat, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore.

He was just about to say something more when he heard Wei Guang whispering respectfully in the carriage and horse: "Childe, the villa has arrived." ”

Hearing this, the nervous two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and after a short rest, they got out of the carriage.

Out of the gate of the villa was greeted by a middle-aged man with a round body, his eyes were smiling, and he was born with a kind smile. Now seeing everyone coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "In Xia Jinfu, he is the housekeeper of the villa." I don't know where a few nobles came from? How to call it? ”

"Next week, Yunlang is from the Qishan Bookstore in the capital. Today, I wanted to enter the city as soon as possible, but I didn't want to delay the time in dealing with the headless girl in Yunan County, and when I arrived in the state city, the city gate was closed. So I came to bother all night, hoping that your village can be convenient. Xu is in a good mood, Xiao Qinglang rarely answered before Wei Guang and Xu Chu.

Next, he naturally introduced the people around him, but his identity was not detailed.

However, Jin Fu was also a little bit of a look, so he didn't ask, but only told the little guy to prepare a few similar guest rooms, and then personally brought a few people into the villa.

The name of the mountain is Lotus Village, and it is said that it is named because it is entrenched on the top of most of the Lotus Mountain. There are dozens of small courtyards of all sizes and houses in the whole Zhuangzi, and there are as many as two or three hundred rooms, which can really be regarded as a big deal.

Everywhere Xu Chu walked, it was difficult to hide the admiration on her face, the carved patterns, gold and jade paintings, brocade palace lights, staggered and swaying, but not cheesy, but exquisite everywhere.

The high walls are green and daisy, layer upon layer, the corridor is tortuous and winding, and the pavilions and pavilions are all carved beams and paintings. The group didn't know how many turns they took, until Xu Chu was a little tired, and finally arrived in the Zhuangzi guest hall.

Xiao Qinglang looked at the houses, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously, "Dare to ask where Master Guizhuang is?" Should we pay a visit? ”

"My lord is in poor health, and he has already rested at this time. But the lord is hospitable, let me entertain you well, if there is any neglect, please forgive me. Jin Fu's face was full of spring breeze, and his eyes seemed to be unable to see the gap.

"It's time for us to disturb your village, since the owner of the village is unwell to see guests, then I will wait tomorrow to thank you."

After the little servant went back and forth to say that the guest room was cleaned up, Jin Fu asked people to take a group of people to rest.

Several people had been on the road all day, and they were already sleepy, so they didn't say anything more, and went back to their rooms to rest. Because he is in the territory of others, and he doesn't know the roots, Xiao Qinglang naturally lives with Hua Wuxi, while Xu Chu is with Xiao Mingzhu.

Wei Guang and the others naturally took turns to be on duty at night, guarding outside the door of several people. One is for the safety of several people, and the other is for the official documents and files that Xiao Qinglang brought with him.

The night is getting darker, and the mountain wind is whining. When he was about to enter the house, Xiao Qinglang whispered to Xu Chu: "If there is any movement in the night, you just have to speak, Wei Guang and others outside the door can help, and I will come over immediately." ”

Xu Chu knew in his heart that this was his concern, and thinking of the situation where the two of them had just clasped hands, he couldn't help blushing and nodded, "I'm with Mingzhu, so I'm naturally at ease." ”

She closed the door, but she didn't leave for a long time, and Xiao Mingzhu didn't even move even if she beckoned her to rest. On the paper on the window lattice, the dry branches of the swaying trees and the palace lamp shined, and also elongated the slender figure that had not left.

I don't know how long it took, she heard a light cough outside, and said with a low smile: "Xiao Chu, are you looking at me?" ”

The faint sound of joy spread and fell into Xu Chu's ears, instantly making her heart pound, it felt a little flustered but very sweet. She didn't dare to look at it again, let alone talk, and hurriedly took a few steps back to the inner room.

The fire cage had already burned in the house, and the warmth made Xu Chu, who had just been baptized by the wind and cold, look more and more ruddy. She pursed her lips and covered her face with Xiao Mingzhu's clean cloth towel, and it took a while to calm her mind.

She never knew that she would be so bold, not only accepted Xiao Qinglang's love, but even ...... As soon as she thought of the words she spit out with her heart, her throat became dry unconsciously, and her whole person was a little bad.

Back then, her father did mention that she would marry in the future, but with such private words, why couldn't she bear to reveal it in front of Xiao Qinglang? So, for a while, she didn't know whether to be annoyed or shy, but the faint stagnation and sweet taste in her heart made her quite happy.

To be honest, Xu Chu never thought that he would confess his friendship with others, and then make a private decision for life. And today, although the two of them did not make any moves to cross the thunder pool, in fact, a person with a temperament like Xiao Qinglang can say that promise, which is probably worth a lot of actions by others.

She was immersed in the shock just now, but she ignored Xiao Mingzhu, who had been calling her.

"Sister Chu, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Mingzhu saw that she had been absent-minded, smiling and angry, and couldn't help but worry, could it be that she had hysteria after being frightened? Thinking like this, she quickly stretched out her five fingers and shook them in front of Xu Chu's eyes.

Xu Chu's train of thought was disturbed, and as soon as he raised his head to meet Xiao Mingzhu's concerned eyes, he immediately felt a little weak. She waved her hand, let out a long breath and said, "It's okay, probably tired from the road." ”

Xiao Mingzhu saw that her expression was the same, and reached out and touched her forehead again, and there was no fever, so she was relieved. She nodded sympathetically and said, "Except for half an hour of rest at noon, we have been on the road, so we must not be tired and uncomfortable." What's more, you have to help the third uncle sort out the file and analyze the case, which will naturally be more tiring. ”

Xu Chu couldn't help laughing when he saw that she was still looking delicate. After thinking about it, she said tentatively: "Mingzhu...... What do you think...... How is your third uncle? ”

"The third uncle is naturally good, the dragon and the phoenix among the people, but the people are a little puzzled." Seeing Xu Chu's rare initiative to ask, Xiao Mingzhu's dark and clear eyes turned, leaned over and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "There are countless women in the capital who admire him, but it's a pity that the third uncle is not close to women by nature, which makes many people beat their chests behind their backs." ”

She saw that Xu Chu listened carefully, and then thought about the fact that the peacock was dead and alive and did not let her get into the carriage, and suddenly felt as if she had opened her mind. However, if the third uncle really achieved good things with Sister Chu, she would be extremely happy.

Thinking about it like this, she was busy selling, "Although the third uncle has a cold temperament, he is very good to Sister Chu, I heard the flower peacock say that Aunt Chu was specially transferred by the third uncle for you......"

When Xu Chu heard her say this, his face turned redder and redder. She was silent for a moment, looked away unnaturally, and said with a dry smile: "He is naturally excellent. ”

After saying that, she excused herself and said that she was tired, hurriedly packed herself, and went to bed to pretend to sleep. However, in that mind, there was still Xiao Mingzhu's clear eyes just now.

Although she is not a pretentious person, and Xiao Mingzhu does not show any rejection and abnormality. But now, she really didn't want to make this relationship known to everyone.

Xiao Mingzhu couldn't help but smile when she saw her distressed and frowning. Although she is not a very intelligent and wise person, but the night she learned of the peacock's heart, she seemed to be so restless and even happy and worried.

Here, as soon as she rubbed next to Xu Chu, and when she reached out to pull away the quilt covering her head, she suddenly felt a chill behind her back. Immediately afterwards, a cold wind poured in, and when she turned around, she saw a woman in a red wedding dress appear out of thin air, making a ho-ho sound with a bit of evil nature.

Her heart jumped suddenly, she screamed in fright, and threw herself directly into Xu Chu's arms on the bed.

Xu Chu didn't know what was going on, but she only heard a frightened cry in her ears, accompanied by crying, so that she no longer had any beautiful thoughts. She was stunned in her heart, and suddenly got up and let Xiao Mingzhu pounce over.

Even through the brocade quilt, she could clearly feel Xiao Mingzhu's trembling body, as well as the tone of trembling and crying.

"Mingzhu, Mingzhu ......" She didn't dare to move, just hugged the person in her arms tightly, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong Mingzhu?" ”

"Woo woo, Sister Chu, outside the window...... There is a ghost ...... outside the window" Xiao Mingzhu was really frightened, and her heart beat intermittently, but she refused to look up and look outside.
