Chapter 62

The letter was not written for long, Zhao Zhi said that she was fine, she was four months pregnant, and said that Zhang Manting treated her very well, so that Xiaodong should not worry. At the same time, at the end of the letter, she also asked Xiaodong to inquire on her behalf, I don't know if Xiaoman is still alive, and if so, where is it.

Xiao Dong noticed that the letter was written by Zhao Zhi, and the texture of the paper and ink used was okay. Of course, it can't be compared with before. In the past, even if Zhao Zhi didn't rub Xiaodong's sprinkled gold paper, she used the best jade version and flying sandalwood. The paper she uses now is rice paper and ink with an ordinary texture, Xiaodong's nose is sensitive, and she can tell that the smell of ink is slightly different.

"It's ...... The letter she let people carry? ”

"It took several days for the person I sent to enter Zhang's house and bring this letter out with an embroidery girl." Qin Lie asked, "What did she write?" ”

"She wants to know her nephew's whereabouts." Xiao Dong handed the letter to Qin Lie and sat down slowly.

The Jingjun Mansion has long been sealed, and the adult men are almost all guilty, the Princess of Jingjun committed suicide, and the rest of the people in the palace were exiled, and the people who sold were sold-

But Xiao Dong didn't get the news of the child whose milk name was Xiaoman, and he hadn't had time to take the big name.

Xiaoman is the child of Zhao Zhi's second brother, born round and jade, very lively and cute, he was only a little more than a year old when the Jingjun Wangfu incident happened. But I haven't heard from him.

"That should be Princess Jingjun who sent the child away in advance." Qin Lie said: "It's the same as marrying Zhao Zhi, it's better to marry out than to stay in the mansion." The child should have been sent away in advance...... If it can be done, then it can be taken back. If the matter fails, the family can be regarded as leaving a pulse of incense. ”

Oh, yes.

But with Princess Jingjun's means, who knows where she sent her child? Zhao Zhi didn't know, and Xiao Dong didn't know.

"Do you want to write back to her?"

"Okay."

Qin Lie helped Xiao Dong, took out the paper on which she had written, and put it aside, and took out a stack of letterhead paper from the shelf.

Xiao Dong looked at the letterhead, pondered for a while, and put down the pen.

"How?"

"I don't know what to write."

Qin Lie nodded: "Then I'll write it when I think of it." Would you like to give her something? ”

"It doesn't sound like it's easy to carry a letter, thing...... Forget it. ”

"Once raw and twice cooked, there is still a way to carry it."

"I'll wait until I think about it." Xiao Dong remembered that he hadn't drunk saliva for a long time, so he poured a cup of tea and served it to him personally: "Have a cup of tea." ”

When Qin Lie reached out to take the teacup, the hands of the two touched.

If you want to put it aside, Xiao Dong didn't feel anything, but this time I don't know why, I always felt that Qin Lie's hand was very hot, and he retracted it all of a sudden.

Qin Lie held the teacup in his hand for a moment, then tilted his head and poured a cup of tea into his throat, swallowing it all with a grunt.

Xiao Dong glanced back, good guy, that's how the whale swallows the cow, right?

"Your illness has just improved, don't bother, just don't be sleepy, and rely on rest."

Xiao Dong nodded in response, leaning on the couch by the window, and Qin Lie took a blanket to cover her.

"I'm bothering you again."

"What's polite to me, besides, I've been running back and forth, it's just in passing."

You're really welcome to him.

After saying these two sentences, the two of them looked up at each other at the same time-

The room was silent for a while.

Xiao Dong coughed lightly and looked away.

After a while, Qin Lie whispered, "You definitely haven't eaten well these days, and you've lost weight again." ”

Xiao Dong retorted in a low voice: "After drinking the medicine, I always feel that my stomach is full, and I can't eat anything." ”

"Then you have to eat, how can people do it without eating, no wonder the disease is getting better so slowly."

The topic of eating is very safe, and the two of them are finally not so embarrassed. Meihua didn't know what to think, turned her neck, jumped down from the windowsill, approached with small steps, first circled around Qin Lie's feet, and then jumped on the couch with all her might, found a comfortable position on Xiao Dong's legs, and lazily lay down and didn't move.

Xiao Dong suddenly remembered that a few years ago, when she was sick, Qin Lie also brought gifts to see her.

The gift was a live chick that sat on her quilt.

Memories are such a wonderful thing, and when the scene is happy, it seems to be packed into a wine urn, sealed and hidden, slowly fermented, and becomes sweeter and happier when the lid is opened, and the rich joy wafts out from it.

"What happened to that chick that year?"

Qin Lie was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Do you remember?" ”

"Of course I do."

"Well, after I went back, I kept it in the house, and gave it millet to eat, and then it grew up a little and could no longer be kept in the house, so I gave it to the elder to take it out and live in the chicken coop with other chickens."

Xiao Dong lowered his head and smiled.

The tail of the plum blossom swayed from side to side, again and again.

"What you said that day...... I've thought about it. ”

Qin Lie didn't say anything, but Xiao Dong could feel that his whole body tensed up for a moment.

"There's something I haven't figured out...... Xiao Dong raised his head, looked at Qin Lie with his lips pursed, and looked at her fixedly.

In the end, Qin Lie wanted to marry her, because he liked her, or because of the habit he had developed for a long time, he was used to having such a person......

In the past, when she was young, Qin Lie treated her like a very good brother.

Now that she has grown up, Qin Lie is still just as good to her.

However, in Qin Lie's heart, what kind of feelings did he have for her?

Just treat her as a sister? Just think she's the right person to live with?

Still is......

She made it clear to her intermittent meaning.

"Sister ...... Winter"

"Hmm."

"If you asked, I thought about it too."

The room was very quiet, the plum blossom ears trembled, looked at Xiao Dong, and then turned his head to look at Qin Lie, a pair of round eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which was particularly transparent.

"When I first left the capital, I thought of the people and things in the capital, and I only felt worried. The farther I went, the more I felt ...... It's like hollowing out a piece. At that time, I can't say what I was thinking. When I left, I had the courage to mention that to the prince, but the prince did not reprimand me. I just ask the prince to give me a chance, and I will definitely treat you better than everyone else......"

"Later, as the days went by, I often thought of you, and I wonder if you have grown taller, changed your appearance, and if your temper is still the same as before...... Once, I went to Nantuo with someone else, and I went out to sea by boat, and when I encountered a strong wind, they all said that the boat would sink, and I thought of you at that time. I don't think I can die, I have to live, and I want to go back to see you...... Fortunately, I chose a life that time. When I came back from the sea, I wanted to go to the capital, I wanted to see you, there was a rush in my chest, and my chest seemed to be broken, and I couldn't restrain it. After I came back, I went to see the prince first, if the prince thinks that I am a businessman, I can also donate an official, donate a five-grade ...... I hadn't seen you when I spoke. When you and Shizi come back, I saw you at a glance, it was the one I imagined, beautiful, and kind, and I smiled and showed my little glutinous teeth...... I was so happy that I didn't know what to do, like ...... After that gale, the ship finally sailed into the harbor with great difficulty, and leaned against the shore, and my heart was suddenly steady. ”

Xiao Dong listened quietly, the two of them were not far away, and there were plum blossoms in between.

Xiao Dong's cheeks were dyed crimson at some point, or maybe the earth dragon in the house was burning too strongly, and the whole thing was so hot that it was faint.

Is she that good?

I remember that reunion after a long absence was actually very bad, that day she had a little heat stroke, and after smelling the medicated oil and waking up, she sneezed hard before she had time to say anything, tears and snot were smeared, and she couldn't find a good image at all.

Then, can it only be said that Qin Lie is a lover's eyes?

Xiao Dong seemed to hear something, and it became louder and louder.

It's the sound of a heartbeat.

Her heart was beating fast.

People are stupid, and their faces are hot.

"Xiaodong?"

"Hmm."

She said yes and looked up.

Why did he take the word sister away?

Ah, is it because you don't want her to feel like he's a sister to her?

"Qin Lie." She called out to him too.

"Huh."

Xiao Dong suddenly wanted to laugh, and both of them were a little silly.

The plum blossom followed the fun and meowed.

Qin Lie stretched out his hand and gently shook Xiao Dong's hand.

Plum blossom was squeezed aside, shook her head in dissatisfaction, jumped off the soft couch and trotted away.

"You...... What do you think? ”

Xiaodong was in a trance, the room was really hot, she was sweating on her forehead and neck, and the window was covered with dense cotton paper, and the room was very bright.

Qin Lie's hand was gentle and powerful, a whole circle larger than her hand, with large and small calluses on it, holding her hand carefully, as if he was afraid that it would hurt her if he used too much force.

"Actually, I also thought about whether I would meet such a person in the future, who was very close to me and was very good to me...... Maybe I've dreamed it in my dreams, but it's always blurry and I can't see my face clearly. Xiao Dong's voice is very small, almost like the thin meow of the plum blossom: "Do you have power, status, money, what does you look like, what is your temperament and character...... There is no one definite standard. I didn't think about it, maybe because I was a little scared. I am afraid that my life after marriage will not be satisfactory, and I need to change myself to adapt to a new life...... Before I could go any further, to think clearly, you were already ......"

Does Qin Lie fit the long-standing, vague standard of measurement in her heart?

She didn't put the standard of "future husband" on Qin Lie.

However, it seems that the standard itself has no meaning.

People will meet someone one day, and that person may not be the standard you set. But he just came, just right.

Xiao Dong didn't know what he was going to say, and the more he talked, the more messy it became, and the quieter his voice became.

She simply closed her mouth and looked at the person in front of her seriously.

As soon as the cold snap came, the temperature dropped a lot......

Everyone should pay attention to their bodies.

Ah, and, tickets...... Booth ......
