Chapter 178: Take a peek in the bath
Su Mu had already gone to Jinrong City in advance, and when Qin Miaomiao arrived, most of the food for disaster relief had been distributed, and the prefect He Zhicheng here was Qin Miaomiao's old acquaintance, and he was very affectionate when he saw Qin Miaomiao: "Madam, the people of Jinrong City will be grateful for your kindness." ”
Due to the number of courtesies, Qin Miaomiao humbly helped He Zhicheng: "Your Excellency can't salute me, we are destined to meet again." ”
Su Mu, who was standing on the side, listened to the two chatting with a strange expression, especially He Zhicheng's name for Qin Miaomiao, which made him feel panicked in his heart.
It was easy to wait for Qin Miaomiao to finish discussing the disaster relief, and then returned to the house in Jinrong City with Su Mu, the last time this house came back was three years ago, although it was a long time, but fortunately, the servants were all old people from before.
The servants lined up neatly at the door, and when they saw Qin Miaomiao and Su Mu, they saluted and greeted each other, and the old housekeeper followed behind them, shushing all the way to ask for warmth: "Master, madam, why haven't you two come back for so long, I often worry about the two of you?" ”
Looking at the familiar courtyard, Qin Miaomiao suddenly felt comfortable physically and mentally, although Chang'an City was prosperous, it was not as good as here.
Qin Miaomiao especially enjoyed the quiet and beautiful here, while Su Mu had a cold face from the beginning of the meeting, not saying or smiling, and others saluted him, as if he hadn't heard it.
Because there were always outsiders following, Qin Miaomiao didn't have a chance to ask him, so he found an opportunity to take the old housekeeper away: "Lao Yang, I feel tired from traveling today, I want to take a shower and rest for a while, is Xiaolan still there?" ”
"Yes, I'll let her wait." The old housekeeper nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked two steps and was stopped by Qin Miaomiao: "Has Uncle Lin come back recently?" ”
"I'm back, I've been back twice in the past two months, I just left three days ago, and he left a letter when he left, I put it in your study, bring it back and let Xiaolan send it to you."
Back in the bedroom, Qin Miaomiao leaned back on the short couch with a grin, patted the position beside her, and smiled and hooked her hand at Su Mugou: "Come on, Master Hou!" ”
Su Mu frowned, walked to the front of the chair opposite her and sat down upright, his thin lips pursed together, as if he had something to ask, but he couldn't speak.
Qin Miao looked at him for a long time, but she didn't see a word, she was a little anxious, so she naturally couldn't hold back, sat up straight and learned from Su Mu with a bitter and hateful look: "Master Hou? Got something on your mind? ”
When Su Mu heard this, his lips moved a few times, and then moved a few times, and he was out of his mind for a while: "Miao Miao, the question I asked, you tell me the truth, don't lie to me!" ”
Qin Miaomiao nodded yes, she thought that she had never deceived Su Mu, but she had lost face in the matter of amnesia.
"Miao Miao, did I eat soft rice before? That's why you don't tell about the past? Right? Su Mujia asked this with some frustration in his eyes.
"Hahaha......" Qin Miaomiao wanted not to laugh, for fear of hurting Su Mu's self-esteem, but the smile came too violently, and she couldn't control it.
The more he laughed, the happier he became, and Su Mu's face became more and more gloomy. Although he has amnesia, his personality is still introverted, especially in this era of advanced male cancer, it is a great shame for a man to rely on women for food.
The more Qin Miaomiao laughed, the more anxious Su Mu became, he screamed a few times, ignored him, and finally couldn't get angry, got up and strode to the side of the short couch, supported his body with both hands, looked at Qin Miaomiao condescendingly, and had a dark and handsome face: "Don't laugh, answer my question." ”
Qin Miaomiao, who watched gradually, stopped laughing, looked at the person in front of her in a daze, and praised herself from head to toe in her heart, "My vision is so good, look at what this man chose, it's amazing!" ’
Qin Miaomiao felt that she might have been poisoned by Su Mu's appearance, and she hadn't gotten tired of it after watching it for a few years.
Qin Miaomiao's eyes were scorching, but Su Mu in front of him was embarrassed, and awkwardly avoided his gaze: "Why are you ......" Before the words were finished, Qin Miaomiao had already wrapped her arms around Su Mu's neck and took the initiative to offer her soft cherry lips.
At present, he has been coveting beauty for a long time, he just wants to refuse, but his body is no longer at the mercy of his brain.
Grinding and entangled, Qin Miaomiao melted into a pool of water, waiting for Su Mu to stir up a higher splash.
As soon as his hand was on the jade belt around his waist, a short knock sounded from outside the door: "Madam, the hot water has been prepared, do you want to take a bath now?" ”
The entanglement between the two was interrupted by Xiaolan's voice, Qin Miaomiao's chest rose and fell, her breath was unsteady, and her tail voice trembled slightly when she spoke: "Carry the bath bucket into my room." ”
Su Mu stood up slowly, seemed to be smiling, watched Qin Miaomiao arrange her dress in a panic, and then turned around and sat back on the chair.
At this time, Xiaolan and the two family members happened to enter the door carrying the bath bucket.
"Master, madam, this is the letter that the housekeeper asked me to bring." ”
"Well, put it on the table, you can go out when the hot water is put out, you don't have to wait here." Qin Miaomiao has always disliked to be helped by others in some ** things, and she always feels uncomfortable.
Xiaolan secretly glanced at Su Mu and Qin Miaomiao, and suddenly her cheeks turned red.
And Qin Miaomiao was seen by her like this, and she was a little shy in her heart, she swore that she just didn't like someone to serve her to take a bath, and she definitely didn't want to have anything indescribable happen with Su Mu in broad daylight.
The subordinates retreated, and Qin Miaomiao hesitated: "Master Hou, I want to take a bath, can you go out ...... first?"
Su Mu sat on the chair and sipped tea, free and easy, and the poor Baba just asked if he was eating soft rice: "Isn't there a screen?" Can I still peek at you in the shower? ”
Qin Miaomiao smacked his lips, thinking back to Su Mu's performance in recent days, he really didn't seem to be very keen on applauding love, from meeting again to now, except for kissing a few times, they didn't make any moves to cross the distance.
Qin Miaomiao also let down her guard, walked behind the screen with a grin, untied her clothes, and prepared to take a bath.
Before the person stepped into the bathtub, he was suddenly grabbed by his slender waist, and then the whole person's center of gravity was unstable and fell into a solid embrace.
Qin Miaomiao exclaimed in surprise, her hands in front of her, her face flushed, and she said angrily: "Didn't you say that you won't peek?" ”
Su Mu curled the corners of his lips behind her back, and smiled wickedly and slyly: "I really didn't peek, didn't I look at it in the open?" ”
"You ......" Qin Miaomiao's words had not yet been exported, and they had already been blocked in his mouth.
Qin Miaomiao, who was holding the bath bucket, couldn't see Su Mu's expression behind her, but this eager aggression was familiar to her, and it was also something she hadn't seen for a long time.
Applauding for love, the venue is different, and the unlocking posture is also different.
After a while, the exhausted Qin Miaomiao lay on the bed, staring at Su Mu, who was sitting on the side with neatly dressed, not red face, and not panting.
Feeling Qin Miaomiao's unkind gaze, Su Mu smiled and rubbed her head: "Didn't you say you wanted to sleep for a while?" ”
Qin Miaomiao dodged his hand, turned his back to Su Mu, and ran all the way, plus he did another strenuous exercise just now, and his eyelids fought not long after he turned around.
When I woke up, the oil lamp had been lit in the bedroom, and I turned my head to see Xiaolan waiting on the side, but Su Mu was nowhere to be seen.
Xiaolan smiled, handed the clothes hanging on her arms to Qin Miaomiao, and seemed to guess that Qin Miaomiao was looking for Su Mu: "Madam, what about talking to the housekeeper outside the master's door, are you hungry?" Dinner is ready in the kitchen. ”
got up with the quilt in her arms, put on the dress handed over by Xiaolan, and as soon as her feet landed, her legs trembled and almost fell.
Maybe he heard the sound in the house, Su Mu came from outside the door, and when he saw Qin Miaomiao, he had a vague smile on his face: "I woke up, I knew that you were tired, so I didn't call you, the prefect came in the evening, but you fell asleep, let him go back first." ”
He Zhicheng came to look for him the day before, Qin Miaomiao went to Jinrong Mansion early the next morning, because of the drought, He Zhicheng was also busy every day and had no time to doppelganger, Qin Miaomiao naturally couldn't let him come to the door several times.
He Zhicheng was discussing with several magistrates within the jurisdiction of Jinrong, and when he saw Qin Miaomiao enter the door, he immediately stopped talking, and although several magistrates looked at Qin Miaomiao, they had already heard her name three years ago, and they were very polite and polite when they saw her.
Qin Miaomiao wore a plain white short jacket today, with a long skirt covering her ankles on her lower body, and the whole person looked refreshing and neat.
This outfit is going to be seen at the payout scene for a while, so she wears it neatly, and if everything goes well, she plans to go to Hanyang tomorrow.
She has already worked with Hezhicheng and knows that he is a good official who is honest and sympathetic to the suffering of the people, so she believes that he will settle the people properly after the disaster.
Qin Miaomiao was given a seat to He Zhicheng's side, and smiled modestly: "Ladies and gentlemen, have I disturbed you?" In fact, Qin Miaomiao saw that they all had sad faces, and wanted to ask what they were discussing.
He Zhicheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Didn't bother, didn't bother." It just so happens that you are here, so you can help me think of a way, Jinrong City and several nearby cities, due to the topography of the drought year after year, the annual grain production is less than one-tenth of that of other towns, and the harvest is a common thing. ”
The corners of Qin Miaomiao's mouth twitched a little, the drought is God's business, and she has no choice: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you can't grow food, can you plant some other crops, such as drought-tolerant?" ”
The magistrates sitting on the side were still frowning, and a fat man opened his mouth: "Madam, don't you know, this court will stipulate that we pay taxes and grain every year, and if we don't plant, the court will blame it." ”
Qin Miaomiao nodded, it turned out that the imperial court had a task, but should the situation like Jinrongcheng make some changes as appropriate, otherwise, it is not only the people who suffer, but the imperial court is also worried and laborious: "You wait for the spring planting this year, maybe the emperor will be sensitive to the people's feelings and be kind to you here." ”
Having said that, Qin Miaomiao knew that he would have to beg the old emperor himself when he went back, otherwise he would have known all day long that he was suspicious and suspicious, not to mention the suffering of these people, he would never care about these trivial matters.
