073. You Can't Get It
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun is brilliantly colorful, staining half of the sky red.
Mo Qiantao was holding a few green vegetable seedlings in her hand, and when she came back, she saw a person nesting in the corner of the courtyard and looking sneakily inside.
"It's Miss Yunqing, I haven't seen you for a long time, how can you be a thief outside." Mo Qiantao's eyebrows opened, and there was a smile on her face.
Yun Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly blushed, "Who do you say is a thief, I think you are not serious." ”
Mo Qiantao raised her eyebrows, not caring at all, "I'm not serious, and I've never been in the corner of someone's wall." ”
Yun Qing pointed at the tip of her nose, annoyed and angry, "You are strong!" ”
Mo Qiantao grabbed her outstretched finger and pulled it hard, Yun Qing immediately screamed in pain.
Xia Lianzhi, who heard the movement behind the courtyard gate, immediately appeared to protect Yun Qing behind her, "What is this doing?" I don't know, I thought Feng'er had married a. ”
Yun Qing wiped her tears pitifully, looking like she dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.
Mo Qiantao smiled indifferently, as if she had heard a not-so-funny joke, "I'm your daughter-in-law, why do you always help outsiders." ”
Xia Lianzhi patted her chest confidently, with the attitude of a righteous person, "I won't help my wife or my relatives." ”
Ginger is still old and spicy!
Mo Qiantao couldn't help but want to applaud her words.
"Why is it so lively?"
Xia Chunfeng appeared with a bamboo basket of medicinal herbs on his back, and he glanced back and forth at the three of them.
The one-on-two formation is instantly clear.
Xia Lianzhi pinched Yun Qing hard, Yun Qing endured the pain, her eyes suddenly misted, she was about to say something, but Xia Lianzhi glanced at her again, and suddenly stopped her mouth.
"Brother Chunfeng......" she called softly, and then the big tears fell.
"Why?" Xia Chunfeng's gaze did not stop at Yun Qing, but instead looked at Mo Qiantao with a puzzled expression.
After what happened last time, Xia Lianzhi learned more cautiously, she pulled Yun Qing and asked her to show her injured fingers.
"Yun girl's fingers are swollen, follow me in and apply the medicine."
Xia Chunfeng was stunned, and deliberately said to his own lady with a tiger face, "I knew that you were a fierce woman, you might be more restrained?" ”
Yun Qing and Xia Lianzhi glanced at each other, where was this reproach, it was clearly flirting.
Xia Lianzhi glanced at Mo Qiantao fiercely, and then helped to say a few good words and play a round.
"My daughter-in-law here is a little anxious, don't be surprised." Xia Lianzhi laughed, and glanced at Xia Chunfeng, who had returned to normal, with his peripheral vision, knowing that he would not pursue Mo Qiantao for this.
If you want him to be disgusted with Mo Qiantao, I am afraid that it will have to be delayed any longer, and the accumulation of time will become a problem that cannot be ignored.
"It's me who is too impulsive, I'm sorry Miss Yun." Mo Qiantao apologized and pulled her in to apply the medicine.
"What do you want to say to me?" Yun Qing squinted, her injured fingers froze in the air, and she didn't dare to reach out in front of her and let her help with the medicine.
Mo Qiantao grabbed it and pinched it fiercely, "I want to say, you are a good girl, why do you think about other people's men all day long, are you ashamed?" ”
Yun Qing put away her weak demeanor, and her face changed suddenly, "Why are you teaching me?" You are a person who does not respect your elders and does not abide by women's morals, so what face do you have to stay in the Xia family. ”
Then he withdrew his arm in pain.
"Okay, Shibei three days, you should be impressed." Mo Qiantao sneered, rolled up her sleeves and looked like she was going to fight, "People like me who have no face have been left behind, but your innocent girl can't ask for it, don't you say it's ironic?" She squinted her eyes as she spoke, but she thought of a way to humiliate her, "However, you can also try to climb into Brother Feng's bed first, and I can't stop the raw rice from being cooked." ”
After speaking, she smiled, thinking that when she was at the post station before, she had persecuted Xia Chunfeng like this, but he didn't give face at all. She is different from Yun Qing, she doesn't care about the so-called women's way, she does what she wants to do, and she doesn't have too many moral constraints, but Yun Qing, a former famous family, is different.
They care about faces.
Yun Qing stepped back timidly, afraid that she would do it with her, but her mouth was still shouting, "Didn't you rely on this method to let Brother Chunfeng marry you in the first place!" ”
"I am in love with you Brother Chunfeng, I can't help it, how can you compare." Mo Qiantao smiled proudly.
"Shame on you!" Yun Qing was very angry.
"I've always been like this, you really have to be Xia Chunfeng, tomorrow I will go to your house and persuade your father and mother to let you be small?" Grasping her weakness, Mo Qiantao tried unpleasantly.
As soon as she heard this, Yun Qing immediately wilted.
Her father would not allow her to be small no matter what.
"Oh, don't go, you haven't taken the medicine yet."
Seeing her brushing her sleeves away, Mo Qiantao pretended to chase after her with a medicine bottle.

It was getting dark, and the night was full of twinkling stars.
After bathing, the two sat in front of the window and watched the starlight in the sky, drank tea, and talked about their hearts.
"It's really strange, this Yunqing is just like the evil spirit, it is really different for you, such an infatuated woman, you are not moved?" Mo Qiantao gently shook the fan to repel mosquitoes.
Xia Chunfeng stroked the hair in front of her forehead, and then said, "Master, I have an extraordinary temperament, which is enough to show that her only advantage is good eyesight." ”
Mo Qiantao put down the pu fan and applauded stiffly, "That's right." As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Xia Chunfeng removed the smile at the corner of his mouth, and said with a straight face, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”
Mo Qiantao glanced at her coldly, "It's also possible that she is blind." ”
Xia Chunfeng was stunned for a moment, then lowered the corners of his lips and nodded, "It seems to make some sense." ”
"So, why are you?" Xia Chunfeng had a wicked smile on her face, looking at her with bad intentions.
Mo Qiantao shrugged her shoulders and looked regretful, "I don't have a choice." ”
The two were poor for a while before Mo Qiantao put away her smile, "If you don't want to, let her die, so as not to delay her." ”
Speaking of this, Xia Chunfeng was also very troubled, "I told her, but she didn't seem to take it to heart. ”
"But your tone is too wandering, and she feels like she has a chance." After thinking about it, I felt that Yun Qing was too serious, and if she didn't do it, she wouldn't be able to get over this hurdle.
Xia Chunfeng thought of Mo Qiantao's evaluation of him on the night he was locked up in the firewood room, so he joked, "I'm the toughest person, you should know it." ”
"That's right......" Mo Qiantao was about to fight back, when she saw fireflies emitting green light flying in the woods, she stood up excitedly, propped up on the window edge with one hand, and wanted to catch the flickering light with the other hand.
"You like this?" Xia Chunfeng didn't understand that fireflies were so strange in her eyes.
As he spoke, his arms sticked straight out of the window, and a faint glow could be seen between his fingers as he retracted.
Mo Qiantao was anxious when she saw this, "Let them go." ”
"Why is that, don't you like it?" As soon as he let go of his hand, the fireflies flew out.
"In my hometown, there are no fireflies anymore." This was the first time she had witnessed the existence of fireflies.
Her words made Xia Chunfeng feel ridiculous, it was just an ordinary thing in summer, and it was said that it was so rare.
"You've never told me where your hometown is?"
Mo Qiantao shook her hand, "You won't believe it." ”
"You haven't said yet, how do you know I won't believe it." He stood straight, his long figure blocking the bright moonlight.
Mo Qiantao couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could feel the subtle changes in his body, and he seemed a little annoyed.
"Why do you ask these things all of a sudden, I don't know many things about you, and I have never asked you any questions." Mo Qiantao didn't know how to explain, in order to end the topic, she had to pick something that Xia Chunfeng didn't like to hear, even though she knew that such a perfunctory would make him unhappy.
Sure enough, he turned and went back to bed.
Mo Qiantao closed the window and crept to the soft couch, and the two no longer spoke.

Wu House.
A dark red chariot slowly drove in front of the gate of the Wu Mansion.
When the gatekeeper saw this, he immediately went out to meet him. The curtain with the rope pendant was lifted, and a young woman dressed in white sat inside, and she stepped into the gate of the Wu family with the support of her personal maid.
The girl in white is the second lady of Shangshu Mansion - Feng Rongxi, and the second act is a lifelong event.
"The subordinates are not welcome, and I ask the second lady to forgive me."
The person who came was Li Junru, who was delayed for a while because of some tricky things in the yamen, and missed the opportunity to greet Feng Rongxi in person.
"Where's your family?" The maid Mingyan looked around with a pair of curious little eyes, but when she didn't see Wu Muyun's figure, she raised her eyebrows and said unhappily, "This is the first time our second lady has come, and your family is so lazy?" Will you be able to pay it back in the future? ”
"Mingyan!" Feng Rongxi stopped her, she tugged at Ming Yan's hand, and reminded her not to talk nonsense, although she was lonely because of this.
"It's okay, Lord Wu is busy with important things." She was silent and pretended to be generous.
Li Junru is very satisfied with her intelligence and sensibility, such a knowledgeable young lady will definitely be able to become Wu Muyun's virtuous helper in the future.
"There have been a lot of things in the yamen recently, and the adults have been dedicated to the country and the people, and they haven't rested well for several days, and they went out again at dawn this day, and they haven't been able to have a meal at this hour." Li Junru helped Wu Muyun to save his image, so that Feng Rongxi could have more admiration and love for him.
When Feng Rongxi heard this, where could he still think about it carefully, he felt distressed, and hurriedly ordered the maid, "Mingyan, take out the tonic I brought, I will personally make soup for Lord Wu." ”
"Miss!" Mingyan was in a hurry, this was the first time he came, so he cooked for Wu Muyun, and it was too cheap to say it. Gently shook Feng Rongxi's arm and reminded, "My miss, you are a little bit of a little bit of a point." ”
Feng Rongxi's face turned red, and his mind had been decided, "Please also ask Master Li to lead the way." ”
When Li Junru heard this, he was so excited that he almost called Feng Rongxi: Madam.
Ming Yan saw that he couldn't make sense of his own young lady, so he glanced at Li Junru angrily.
