.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!
Xiao Qi still took the waterway to return to Fucheng, and it was midnight when he got home.
returned to Luoxiangxuan, where he lived, and instructed his subordinates to prepare hot water for bathing.
When the water was ready, the little servant who was waving his hand stepped back, took off his robe and leaned against the barrel, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
He has always been sure to do things, and he never said that he could do what he wanted to do, but this time he really felt powerless and at a loss.
The words she said, 'Thank you anyway,' are still fresh in her ears.
His heart, she understood, but simply refused.
Because she already has someone else in her heart.
He had thought that maybe he could imprison her by his side by extraordinary means, break the wings she wanted to fly, and then spoil her as much as he could.
But then she won't be happy, and then she won't be happy.
He didn't want to get her in a shameless way, he just wanted to see her live carefree with an innocent and bright smile.
That is, the only way to do this is to let your lonely heart continue to be lonely.
In a moment of thought, a pair of silky slender jade hands were placed on his shoulders, and the strength was just right.
Xiao Qi didn't open his eyes, there was only one person who could come in when he was bathing, and his wife who was marrying Mingmei, Fang Yanleng.
"It's late at night, and I've ordered my subordinates not to alarm you, why did you still come here?"
His voice was as clear as usual, and his tone seemed to be caring and considerate.
Fang Yan smiled softly and said softly: "As a wife, her husband should come over and serve when he returns at night, this is his duty." ”
Xiao Qi opened his eyes, like a cold star in the deepest night, bright but lonely.
"I've always told you not to do this, why are you so persistent, taking care of Rui'er, dealing with family affairs is enough hard for you."
He didn't look back at Fang Yanleng, his tone was full of infinite warmth, but there was no emotion in his eyes.
Fang Yan Leng stopped kneading, reached out to probe the temperature of the water, and said in a manly voice: "The water is cold, do you want me to let someone add some hot water?" ”
"Don't bother, I'm done bathing, let's go to sleep, you can go back to Ningcui Courtyard to rest early."
Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, she ran over in the middle of the night, expecting that he would be considerate and leave herself to be gentle and gentle, but she didn't expect to be so ruthlessly pushed back.
She pressed the anger in her heart and said aggrievedly: "You have been gone for many days, and you don't look at me when you come back, do you dislike me for giving birth and don't want to touch me again." If that's the case, I'll take a few concubines for you tomorrow. ”
Conquest?
My Luo Xiangxuan doesn't even have a young maid, and the next people are all elderly mothers-in-law and servants, aren't they all your masterpieces?
Xiao Qi closed his eyes and said helplessly: "You're here again, I'm just tired, I still have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow morning, how can I still have that thought." ”
Fang Yan bit her lip coldly, and said virtuously and gently: "Then I'll wait for you to get up and dress." ”
Xiao Qi stood up and stepped out of the tub.
Under the candlelight, the slender body is strong and well-proportioned, the delicate jade-like skin is slightly ruddy, and the handsome face is moistened with a layer of soft light.
Fang Yan's cold gaze gradually blurred, and the fire of lust in her chest could no longer be suppressed.
She threw away the cloth towel in her hand, hugged Xiao Qi tightly, and blew softly in her ear, "Husband, let me stay with you, don't drive me away." ”
Xiao Qi hesitated, sighed softly, pushed Fang Yan away coldly, unfolded the bed clothes on the side of the small table, and said, "You go back early." ”
Fang Yan was stunned again, this kind of trick had been used countless times before, and it had been tried and tested repeatedly, why did it fail this time.
There was a burning fire in her eyes, the flames were hot and bright, as if they could turn people into flying smoke, and after a while, she said in a trembling voice: "Husband, rest early, I'll go back." ”
After saying that, he turned around the screen and walked away quickly.
Xiao Qi went to bed and leaned on, the expression on his face was indifferent and cold, and his dark and deep eyes were frozen for thousands of miles.
Fang Yan returned to the Ningcui Courtyard where she lived, and did not fall asleep immediately, but passed Xiao Qi's long entourage to see her.
"Tell me carefully what Gongzi has done in Yuxi County this time, and who he has seen."
Fang Yan's cold eyes and tone were as cold as her name.
Xiao Qi's long-term entourage was assigned by her, and everything was under her orders.
"Yes." Under Fang Yan's cold gaze, Chang Sui couldn't help but shudder.
Fang Yanleng heard that the girl Xiao Qi saw this time was only twelve or thirteen years old, and the doubts in her heart faded a little, but they did not completely dissipate.
She fell in love with Xiao Qi at first sight, and she was obsessed with his appearance, and in order to marry Xiao Qi, she tried all means, even at the expense of ruining her reputation, so she would never allow other women to get involved.
Although what he got was just a shell, he had never entered Xiao Qi's heart, as long as his head could withstand the status of Grandma Xiao, it was enough.
There is a Yangmingshan in the northern suburbs of Yuxi County, starting from the end of March every year, the rhododendrons all over the mountains bloom one after another, and the flower sponge stretches for dozens of miles. Climb to the top of the mountain and look at it, like a waterfall of flowers sprinkled from the sky, which is magnificent.
A Zhuangzi of the Zhu family is at the foot of Yangming Mountain, with more than 500 acres of land, mainly planting peaches, pears, citrus, bayberry, loquat and other fresh fruits.
In mid-February, the peach blossoms have not yet bloomed, but the pear blossoms are blooming just right.
Hundred acres of pear blossoms bloom together, jade trees and silver flowers, flourishing like snow, attracting bees to fly together, it is a good time to enjoy flowers in spring.
Under the pear blossom tree, a beautiful carpet is filled with pastries and wine, and several brightly dressed young men and women sit around the felt, smiling and laughing.
"Ah, Sister Liu, your wine is so sweet and delicious, like drinking honey, but there is no name."
"The name of this wine is as beautiful as my sister, it is called beauty brewing, and it is the most worthy of a beauty like my sister."
"Sister Liu, she knows how to talk nonsense."
A burst of cheerful laughter fluttered in the pear blossom forest with the spring breeze.
Several young men and women are Liu Qingyan, Liu Lanqing, Shi Lei, Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Honglin, the second son of the Zhu family.
Zhu Honglin is eighteen this year, the oldest among everyone, and the family affairs have already been decided, but they have not yet married.
The last time the Liujia wine shop opened, there was a lot of movement, and it would naturally reach Zhu Tongchen's ears.
The Zhu family is one of the top wealthy businessmen in Yuxi County, but compared with the Xiao family, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, it is a small thing, and there is no comparison at all.
The Liu family can get in touch with the Xiao family, and it is only a matter of time before they take off, not to mention the county magistrate.
The Zhu family's responsibility for Cao Yun is all in the hands of the magistrate, and if the magistrate is guilty, the magistrate is taken on an errand, which is extremely damaging to the economy and reputation.
The more the head of the Zhu family thought about it, the more he felt that the family affair should be settled, so he took the opportunity of Zhu Hong's invitation to Liu Qingyan to play in the spring, and asked Zhu Honglin to contact the feelings.
First, he is accompanied by his brother to avoid verbal criticism, and secondly, he is also a young man, so it is easy to talk!
"Sister Liu, next month is my grandmother's birthday, you need to prepare for this beauty brew."
I wish the red concubine a few cups of beauty stuffed belly, and her cheeks are white with a faint flush, like a cherry after the spring rain, more delicate than the pear blossoms on the tree.
Liu Qingyan responded briskly, "There's no problem, you can as much as you want." ”
Liu Lanqing saw that Zhu Hong's cheeks were red, worried that she was drunk, so she pinched a piece of pastry and handed it over, "Miss Zhu, eat some snacks and press it, this wine is delicious to drink, and it is quite powerful to get drunk." ”
Zhu Hongyu looked at it with affection, thanked her with a smile, and took the pastry and put it in her mouth.
A sweet mouth is sweeter.
The beauty is drunk, her face is drunk, she smiles, and she is stunning.
Liu Lanqing couldn't help but look stupid.
Seeing this, Liu Qingyan pulled up Shi Lei, who was patronizing eating and drinking, and said, "Idiot, follow me to pick pear blossoms and go home to make wine." ”
"Oh." Shi Lei put down the wine cup and got up a little reluctantly.
When the maids on the side saw it, they stood up with interest.
"If you want to pick pear blossoms, you have to go to the Zhuangzi and get a few bamboo baskets." Qiu'er said.
"I'll get it with you." This is Ping'er.
"I'll go too." The wine chimed in.
So, all the people hula and left.
Zhu Honglin saw that it was not a matter for him to stay here, so he stood up and walked to the pear blossom forest to enjoy the flowers.
Liu Qingyan and Shi Lei walked hand in hand in the snowy pear blossom forest, the deep fragrance and fresh earthy smell were refreshing.
Spring is thick, spring is just right, spring is ......
"Little thing, remember the first time we met?" Shi Lei suddenly paused and said.
Liu Qingyan turned sideways to look at him, "Well, what's wrong?" ”
A few white petals blown off by the wind flew past him.
"At that time you were singing among the azaleas, and at first I thought you had met a little fairy, but you turned out to be a splashy and spicy little pepper."
The corners of Shi Lei's mouth gradually turned upward, recalling a good memory, his black pupils were as vast as the sea, as dazzling as the stars, like the condensation of the colorful beauty of the world, all condensed in his eyebrows.
Liu Qingyan snorted twice and motioned for him to continue, if you don't say it well, then ......
"I think I've been happy with you since then." When Shi Lei said this, the crease between his eyebrows appeared, and he paused slightly and continued: "Little Pepper, it's okay to stay away from the big white face of the Xiao family in the future, that guy doesn't have a good heart for you." ”
The spring light was so clear, but there was a heavy haze cloud under his eyes.
Liu Qingyan felt his brain buzz, his senses were so keen, he was aware of it.
She was fixed, her eyes were clear and bright, she looked at Shi Lei's eyes, and said slowly: "I once told you that the man who marries me can only marry me in this life, and the age of that Xiao Dagongzi should have been a group of wives and concubines a long time ago." So, you don't have to worry. ”
Shi Lei hugged her and chuckled: "Okay, then we'll get married when we go back, and you won't be able to run away if you do." ”
"Okay." Liu Qingyan lay quietly in his arms, and there was a slightly astringent and clean breath from his nose.
Soon, a major event that caused a sensation in Yuxi County was reported in the whole city.
The daughter of the Zhu family and the son of the Shi family married a family surnamed Liu on the same day.
On that day, Ruyi Building was chartered, and merchants and officials of all sizes in the city went, and of course, the new Zhixian Ling.
I heard that the Zhu family and the Shi family were arguing over the account of the banquet, but it is unknown whose family settled the account in the end.
