Lin Boqin felt that he was too close to her.

Close enough to smell the scent of soap in her hair.

"What about you? Will you say yes or not? Chu Cheng shook his sleeve gently, her eyebrows and eyes were shining, and she was a little coquettish.

I don't know why, Lin Boqin's heavy words can't be spoken.

He knew that Chu Cheng was pretending, but after a long time, he held back a sentence: "I never drink." ”

Chu Cheng smiled crookedly, stared at him and asked, "I don't believe it, don't you drink realgar during the Dragon Boat Festival?" Chongyang doesn't drink chrysanthemum wine? ”

Lin Boqin let out an "um" and looked at her solemnly.

Chu Cheng hurriedly tilted her head to look at him, and smiled as bright and dazzling as the clouds and fog dispersed: "Tomorrow for the Double Ninth Festival, Xie Luoying invited me to go to Dengxixia Mountain together...... The yamen is nothing to do anyway, you have been tired for so many days, can you go for a walk together? ”

"No, no."

Lin Boqin refused without thinking about it.

Chu Hui's tone was a little sad, she lowered her eyes, and her curled eyelashes cast a shadow: "It's my fault to drink with Xiao Xu, I know my mistake." Besides, I just admired him, and although I went out drinking with him, I didn't even touch a single sleeve of his shirt......" At this point, she deliberately dragged out the last note to make it worse, "You think it's like you?" Hugging and hugging? ”

“…… Nonsense. Lin Boqin's sword eyebrows twisted, glaring at her, but a trace of blush quietly crept up on her handsome cheeks.

Chu Hui's mouth was strong, and she was a little complacent.

She wrapped her fingers around the streamer around her waist and muttered, "Even if you don't go to the mountain with me tomorrow, you will have to go to Fengshui to visit your mother." ”

Lin Boqin was stunned.

He didn't expect Chu Ji to call his mother "Mother", after all, she was always called "Old Lady Lin" in private before. After being stunned for a moment, he said: "My mother sent a letter the day before yesterday, she Chongyang wants to go out with her friends to insert dogwood, so she doesn't have to go to the meeting." ”

"Even my mother has to go out to play, but you are still staying in the county office." Chu Cheng complained in a low voice, and then said, "Even if you don't want to celebrate the festival, the officials in the yamen always have to rest and rest...... You are in the yamen, which of them dares to relax? ”

The lung-eating dog case has been investigated for many days, and the people in the yamen are all concentrated and very tired.

Lin Boqin was a little hesitant.

Chu Ji saw that his expression was relaxed, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Go, go, let's go together tomorrow." Luoying wants to bring her home-brewed chrysanthemum wine, it's delicious! ”

"You can't drink more."

Although Lin Boqin's expression was serious, the implication was that he had agreed.

Chu Ji was overjoyed, and her smiling eyes were shining: "Okay, good, you have the final say!" But it doesn't matter, even if I'm drunk, at least you're by my side! She thought that even if she fainted on the mountain, Lin Boqin would take her home safely. But these words sounded in Lin Boqin's ears, and there was no ambiguity.

Perhaps her complexion was too gaudy and compelling, Lin Boqin looked away and didn't dare to look at it.

After a while, he bowed his head slightly and agreed.

Chu Cheng was relieved.

But she still had to be sure, so she cautiously spoke: "Lin Boqin, you...... You're not mad at me anymore? ”

"I'm not angry." Lin Boqin frowned.

Chu Cheng didn't believe it in her heart, but said with a smile on her lips: "I'll just say you're the best." ”

Lin Boqin knew what kind of virtue she was, and when she flattered her, she talked a lot of words, but even if she understood, he still ate it.

Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly.

Chu Cheng was at fault first, so she was naturally extremely attentive to Lin Boqin.

I cleaned the study with a broom, and dusted the bookshelf with a feather duster, and was busy.

In fact, there are three chapters of the covenant, and she doesn't have to be like this, but she just can't control it to please her...... As for why, Chu Cheng didn't bother to think deeply.

Lin Boqin didn't want her to be like this.

When Chu Cheng accidentally washed the pen on the Duobao Pavilion again, Lin Boqin finally couldn't hold it back, frowned and said, "I said it, leave this to the next person to do." "If Chu Cheng did a good job, it would be fine, but she was busy and clumsy, not to mention the mess in his study, and the ground was getting dirtier and dirtier.

"I want to make you happy." Chu Cheng blew the chicken feathers on the duster, "And Mobi and Xidu, they always think that I don't spend much time with you, if they see the flaws, what should I do if I tell my mother in the future?" ”

Lin Boqin didn't answer, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Chu Cheng turned around and went to work again.

She removed all the books from the shelves and carefully removed the dust. Seeing that Lin Boqin was arranged in a messy manner, he said: "I'll put you together according to the homophony of the first word, so that you can find some." ”

Lin Boqin never liked others to touch his bookshelf, but he was extremely tolerant of Chu Cheng.

He raised his eyes to look at Chu Hui, and said for a while: "Whatever you want." ”

Even though Chu Cheng happily began to put out books, she saw that Lin Boqin dabbled in a wide range of books, from the Four Books and Five Classics to miscellaneous wild histories, there were everything, and there were a few books with interesting names, and she really wanted to take a look.

Lin Boqin looked at her back, not knowing what she was happy about, humming a song and jumping around, as if she was doing something particularly interesting.

Maybe, Li Siniang is such a woman...... Born lively, sharp-toothed, and unscrupulous, such a temperament is rare.

At this moment, Chu Cheng suddenly laughed out loud, holding a book and laughing and bending over to breathe.

Curious, he asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Chu Ji turned around, her little face flushed with a smile, like a ripe apple.

Her eyes swept back and forth on Lin Boqin's body, jumped forward, and approached with both hands on the bookcase, moving quickly, startling Lin Boqin.

Lin Boqin leaned back slightly, frowned, and said, "There are no rules." ”

"You don't have rules!"

Chu Cheng slapped the book in his hand in front of him, "One day he said that I was here, that I was there, but he was looking at my beautiful books such as "Flower Appreciation Treasures" on his back. She raised her hand and scratched her nose, "I've found out!" ”

Lin Boqin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then his cheeks turned crimson, and he said embarrassedly: "Nonsense! ”

Yanshu only read one or two volumes curiously when he was young, but later he read a wide range of books and had a tenacious heart, so he never had an interest in Yanshu Spring Palace.

How can he have these things on his bookshelf?

The more Lin Boqin thought about it, the more he felt that it was impossible, he picked up the book, and the title of the book was indeed printed with four big characters "Flower Appreciation Treasure", but when I opened it, it was full of ways to plant grass and flowers, and it was not the content of men and women at all.

He lowered his face, spread out the book and said to Chu Cheng: "What are you thinking about every day?" ”

Chu Cheng glanced at it and saw that she had misunderstood, and she was also a little embarrassed.

But in the face of Lin Boqin, her face was not ordinarily thick, and she snorted and said, "Then there is indeed a beautiful book also called "Flower Appreciation Treasures"." "She used to secretly read it when she was in the palace, and it was exciting to write.

Lin Boqin didn't know what to say about her: "The master taught you to read and write, and he used it to read these things?" ”

"Writing it is for people to read, and this dynasty has not banned these books, so why read them?"

Chu Cheng muttered, which made sense.

Lin Boqin didn't want to discuss these beautiful books with her, so he simply kept silent.

Maybe it was a misunderstanding just now, and his cheeks were still a little red. obviously has a serious and stereotypical look, but at this time, it is quite cute.

Chu Ji couldn't help but purse her lips and smiled.

An afternoon was spent in Chu Cheng helping Lin Boqin clean up his study.

When it was time to eat, Chu Cheng opened the door and ordered Xi Du to serve the meal, Xi Du saw her smiling, and saw Lin Boqin sitting in the middle of the room looking as usual, she breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head and said to Mabi: "Madame and my lord are reconciled!" ”

Mabi was more shrewd than Xi Dusk, her eyebrows locked, and she said sadly: "I always feel that it is a little strange for Mrs. and adults to get along, although I have seen little of the world, but I also think that they are not very like husband and wife." ”

"I think Madame and Lord are very good." Twilight blinked, "It would be better if we didn't sleep in separate rooms anymore." ”

Seeing Xi Dui's innocent look, she knew that she couldn't explain it clearly, so she shook her head and stopped talking.

***

Early the next morning, Xie Luoying took Xie Tongtong and Su Yu, carrying a basket full of chrysanthemum wine chongyang cakes, to find Chu Hui.

Today's Chung Yeung Festival, the streets are crowded with people early in the morning, rubbing shoulders one after another, and the faint fragrance of dogwood lingers.

Xie Luoying was guarding the basket, letting Su Yu and Xie Tongtong walk aside, but they didn't want to be bumped into head-on, and they almost fell on their heels. The man was wearing a short coat and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Sister! That man is a thief! Xie Tongtong's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the money bag on Xie Luoying's waist was gone, and he hurriedly pointed and shouted.

There is not much silver in the money bag, but for a small family like the Xie family, this is half a month's expenses. Xie Luoying immediately stuffed the basket to Su Yu, pushed through the crowd, and shouted: "Catch the thief!" Catch the thief! The guy in the blue coat in front, you stop me! ”

The thief heard the shout, the soles of his feet seemed to be greased, he slipped faster, and ran a few big steps, and Xie Luoying was thrown away by him.

He was secretly smug as he threw the money bag in his hand, and in the next second, he was pressed against his chest by a long sword.

"Give it back to her."

Xie Luoying chased after him out of breath, and saw that Xiao Yu had already stopped this person.

Her eyes were full of disbelief, surprise and helplessness, and she hurriedly brushed her messy bun because of running, and said to Xiao Xuan: "Yes, it's Xiao Daxia." ”

When the thief saw that the two knew each other, he naturally didn't dare to go against Xiao Xu, he threw the money bag on the ground, and fled like a gust of wind on his waist.

Xiao Lu was about to chase after him, but Xie Luoying hurriedly said: "Thank you Xiao Daxia, you don't have to worry about this person." There are so many thieves in the world, you can't catch them all. ”

"The Qingyuan County Commander is a responsible person, if I arrest the Yamen, he will definitely accept it."

Of course, Xie Luoying knew that what he said was true, but she finally ran into Xiao Xu, how could she be willing to meet in a hurry. Her youngest daughter's mind turned a thousand times, but Xiao Qi didn't know, he raised his feet and wanted to leave, Xie Luoying hurriedly stopped him, his face was embarrassed: "Xiao Daxia, today in Chongyang, Siniang and I are going to Xixia Mountain...... If you are all right, would you like to go along? ”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and confirmed: "Chu ...... Li Siniang is also going? ”

"Yes, we've made an appointment today."

Xiao Xuan thought of something, and said: "I still have a friend, if I have time later, I will come to Xixia Mountain to meet you." ”

His friend Feng He is good at using thin swords, and presumably Chu Cheng should be very eager to compete with him. We'll be introduced to each other later.

Xie Luoying didn't know what he was thinking, Xiao Qi was willing to come over, of course she was overjoyed.

After saying a few more thanks, Xie Luoying reluctantly left.
