Chapter 41: Concentricity

"Blue Sky ......"

Wen Ye's low whisper woke Bi Xiao from her heavy thoughts, and she smiled bitterly, this is indeed the case. In the past month, she has investigated the affairs of the Zhao family in Liangzhou very clearly, the Zhao family has been guarding the border of Liangzhou for generations, and the Zhao family is not only a city guard in Liangzhou, but also a people's belief in peace, that is, this incomparable belief has caused countless Zhao family members to lose their lives.

"At that time, I was the only orphan girl left in the Zhao family, and my mother only wanted to keep the blood of the Zhao family, although this decision was arbitrary, but it was also the best way at that time."

Wen Ye sighed after hearing this, she knew a little about this matter, at that time, the Marquis of Chengyang had dealt with Xiang Shanming several times when he first entered Liangzhou, and the status and reputation of the Xiang family in the rivers and lakes were enough to ensure that General Zhao's orphan daughter had no worries about her life, and it was indeed a good trust to have Mrs. Xiang about to give birth.

"Xiang is indeed the head of the family who can afford such a trust."

Bi Xiao smiled faintly, got up and walked to the table, poured a bowl of wine, and drank it all with his head up. The wine was slightly bitter in his throat, his tightly knit brows gradually relaxed, and the words held in Bixiao's heart were spoken, and after a short period of relief, there was endless pain and despair.

"The reason why the head of the family concealed it was to ensure that my life would go well, he informed me of my life when the old injury recurred, and handed me the jade pendant that my mother had left me. I don't want to be listened to by someone who cares about Xiang's family, which attracts criticism and rumors from Xiang's family. When I was young, I always felt that his strictness to the clear sky was more like a father, and the generosity and tolerance towards me was actually polite now, and I didn't know the meaning at the time and didn't care at all, but now I think that the reason is this. ”

Wen Ye leaned on the bed railing and watched Bi Xiao get drunk alone, her red cheeks were flushed with wine, her half-squinted eyes seemed to be about to fall asleep in the next second, and she called Bi Xiao's name with her spirit.

"Bixiao, cry out, I feel sorry for you like this."

The gentle and familiar voice made Bi Xiao unload her heart and couldn't help but get closer, every time she was tired and confused for the past three years, it was this voice that kept calling to herself. The two hugged each other tightly and cried, Bi Xiao was sobbing quietly at first, and slowly the sobbing turned into painful crying, and finally simply hugged Wen Ye and cried loudly, and the sadness of many days turned into tears.

A bright moon hung high in the night sky, and Wanzhao had already fallen asleep at this time, when he suddenly heard someone answering the door and getting up, grabbing a blue cardigan at the end of the bed, and casually draped it on his body and opened the door.

"Wanzhao, I have something to say to you."

Qingtian looked drunk, his eyes were sloppy, obviously he had drunk a lot, and Wanzhao hurriedly helped him into the house to sit down, and got him some honey water to relieve his hangover. During this period of time, the sky was clear and he was going to drink some wine for two or three days, and Wanzhao knew that he was depressed and did not blame him, and ordered someone to find honey in the room, he had always had a good amount of alcohol, but he was drunk today, and he must have really wanted to get drunk, so he poured himself down.

"Why did you drink so much today?"

Qingtian pushed away the water bowl handed over to him with some irritability, and Wanzhao sat down patiently against him, raised the water bowl to his mouth, and slowly fed him one bite at a time. Qingtian half-squinted her eyes and looked at the evening photo affectionately, she has always been so gentle with herself these days, is it because of love and pity or pity?

"Zhao'er, if I am not the young master of the Xiang family, are you willing to marry me?"

Qingkong took advantage of the evening sunshine to be stunned, grabbed her wrist, gently pulled her into his arms, and sat sideways on his lap. The bowl of water was knocked over and buckled on the table, and half a bowl of honey water was spilled on the floor.

"Young master, you're drunk."

Clear Sky smiled and shook his head, holding her hand against his heart, today is his last chance, no matter what her answer is, he has to ask clearly today.

"My heart is clear! I want to marry you, and I will go to the ancestral hall tomorrow to announce that I will give up the position of the young master, and the more than a dozen brothers of the uncle's family will not be able to choose a young master. ”

Wanzhao struggled to stand up, Qingkong leaned over and hugged her in his arms, the two pulled the cardigan that Wanzhao had draped on her body and fell to the ground, her hot hand was on her waist, and her slender fingers crossed her thin underwear, so intimate contact made her body instantly stiff, and she couldn't move for a while.

"If you don't agree, I won't let you go."

Sensing her reaction, Clear Sky crossed his hands and wrapped her arms around her in his arms. Wanzhao had no choice, so he had to unload his strength and let the clear sky hold himself like this, since he couldn't escape it, he simply faced it, and if he refused, he would hurt people sooner or later.

"Young master, I always thought you knew. There is a difference between you and my identity, even if you are not the young master of the Xiang family, the head of the family will not agree to you marrying me. ”

Qingtian woke up most of the time, withdrew his arms and let her get up, walked to the window and stood there for a long time. When he was young, he liked to chase him and call him the young master, from a young child to a girl like a flower has never changed, Qingkong felt that the two were the closest when she called herself the young master, and in a blink of an eye they grew up, but the word "young master" became their insurmountable boundary.

"It's late at night, the young master should go back to the room and rest."

Wanzhao picked up the coat on the ground and put it on her body again, she made it clear this time that she was also dead, but Qingtian couldn't let go of her unwillingness, she obviously liked herself that night, otherwise why did she take the initiative to kiss him on the cheek that night.

"No, you like me, I don't marry you in this life, if my father doesn't agree, it's a big deal for us to go away!"

Wanzhao hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, the young master, who is usually steady and old, actually said such disloyal and unfilial words for her today. Now that the head of the family is still in a coma, Bi Xiao has left Xiang's house again, if this is heard by outsiders, he is afraid that he will really be swept away.

"Young master, don't say anything, I promise you."

The clear sky instantly showed her face, lowered her head and kissed her raised right palm is heavy, and Wanzhao only felt that her palm was crisp and numb, and she was so ashamed that she quickly withdrew her hand.

"Zhao'er, can you call me Lang Jun?"

Wanzhao put her hands behind her back, lowered her head and blushed, she opened her mouth but couldn't say those two words. Seeing her shyness, Qingkong couldn't help it for a while and lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"You rest early, and tomorrow I will take you to see the eldest sister outside the city."

Although Qingtian was a little disappointed, she thought about it, and since she had promised herself that she would not be in a hurry, she turned around and walked out of the room. Wanzhao smiled happily, no wonder he was so abnormal today, it turned out that she was afraid that she would see Bixiao and Wen Ye tomorrow, and she was worried that she would not want to return home with him, so she drank alcohol and ran to let herself give him a result.

"Xiang Lang, when will you leave tomorrow?"

Wan Zhao chased out with steps as he spoke, listening to her call the rare "Xiang Lang", the clear sky stopped like an electric shock, he was slightly stunned and turned around to wrap his arms around her waist, leaned over the door with his other hand, leaned over to look at her.

"After breakfast, wait for me!"

The two were close at hand, their snorts lingered, the clear sky did not hesitate, they kissed closely, the evening light panted slightly, the red lips opened lightly, the lips and tongues intersected, throbbing.

Wanzhao slept very well last night, Bixiao's heart knot has been untied, she and Qingtian also cherish each other, hold hands and hug each other, and you are of the same heart. She happily took out a very simple concentric knot from her bosom and sat down under the big tree in the courtyard and waited for the clear sky to come.

"Miss Wanzhao got up really early, and she can have breakfast?"

A woman's voice came from behind her, and Wanzhao quickly hid the concentric knot in her arms, turned around and bowed her head.

"Hello Mrs. Li, I've used it."

The person who came was Xiang Shanpeng's wife Li, who was the eldest daughter of a local businessman, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter in her forties, and still charming. Mrs. Li is very well maintained on weekdays, and her food and clothing are always high with those ladies of the same generation, and she naturally has a lot of silver every day, but most of her daily expenses are the silver collected from the grange in her dowry, and Xiang Shanpeng can't say much.

"Girl, come with me, I have something to ask you."

After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she went to the backyard by herself, she also came around from the backyard just now, Wanzhao has always disliked her domineering appearance, of course she will not sell her face today.

"Madame, just say in the yard, I'm going out soon."

"Are you going to see Bixiao? Do you know where she is? ”

Li blurted out that she did not shy away from it, she always felt that the Xiang family adopted orphans to strengthen the Xiang family, not the so-called justice of the rivers and lakes, and naturally there was no taboo about asking Bixiao's whereabouts.

"Madame knows, the head of the family has already allowed me to ignore the affairs of the Xiang family, you better please go back."

The happy mood of the evening early in the morning was instantly made angry by Li's words, and she only hoped that the clear sky would come to her earlier and take her out of the unpeaceful Xiang Mansion.

"You are a domestic servant adopted by the Xiang family since childhood, how can you stay out of it?"

The Li family is not very happy, a subordinate dares to talk to her like this, it must be proud of the favor of the head of the family, and today she will rub the sharp spirit of the servant.

"Madame, please respect yourself, this is the order of the head of the family."

Wanzhao got up to say goodbye, and Li was instantly annoyed, and his speech was out of proportion.

"The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes are the most affectionate, how can you be treacherous and turn around to join the Wen family?"

"Where is it so complicated, it's just that the master has changed, the children of the rivers and lakes are informal, and if they have kindness, they will repay the kindness, who said that they must be sold to the Xiang family for a lifetime."

Wanzhao is not showing weakness, and her dissatisfaction with her since childhood is no longer suppressed, and she straightens up and argues with her.

"Strong words! Ming'er and their departure, did you bewitch the young master? ”

Seeing that it was too late, Li began to mess around, maliciously slander, and deliberately embarrassed her. Wan Zhao clenched the scabbard in his hand, and his chest rose and fell so angrily that he wanted to draw his sword.

"Uncle, Ming'er, they are my opinion, and I don't know about the evening light."

The timely appearance of the clear sky relieved the urgency of the evening sun, if the Li family deliberately arched the fire again, she could not guarantee whether she could still endure it and teach this selfish poisonous woman a lesson.

"Is it worth it for an outsider and a domestic servant?"

The Li family doesn't have much to do with the clear sky on weekdays, but she is not in a good mood today, relying on the fact that she is an elder to say a few words, wanting to vent her anger for her son.

"It's worth it, I have the final say, Mrs. Li is serious."

Qingtian smiled faintly and bowed, saying more heavily, but the number of courtesies could not be less.

"Young master! Why are you persistent, for the sake of two women and Xiang Jia, your uncle knows that he is afraid that he will be cold! ”

The Li family still looks worried about your good, and the anger of the evening light is on the top of his head again.

"Then please ask my aunt to help me hide something, thank you."

Qingkong grabbed Wanzhao's wrist, pulled it into his arms with a little force, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, leaving Li Shi with a blank face, and turned around and walked out of the side courtyard.
