Chapter Thirty-Three: False Love, Mountain Alliance and Sea Oath
"Jing Chen? It's so late and I don't rest. Xia Jingxuan called, Xia Jingchen looked back, and saw Xia Jingxuan standing on the mezzanine looking at him, followed by Xia Jingyan and Lu Chaoya.
"Dyeing ...... Mr. Zhou? Xia Jingyan stood on the side, and just saw Zhou Ranmao who was shrinking by the flower bed, and knew that Xia Jingchen was picking Zhou Ranmao's fault again, and wanted to call Zhou Ranmao to his side, so he almost called out "Dyeing" casually, and forcibly held back this sentence.
"You're looking for trouble with Mr. Zhou again." Xia Jingxuan sighed, his younger brothers and sisters are really uneasy.
"Brother! You see! This is the direction of Yan'er's Fable Pavilion! Zhou Ranmiao came from here! What to do in the middle of the night, with bad intentions! That's what happened to me! Brother, he's still stepping on me! Xia Jingchen complained for a while, and the key Zhou Ranmiao couldn't refute it, because what he said was the truth.
"I ......" Zhou Ranmiao couldn't speak.
"Brother, Mr. Zhou has an object left here by Yan'er." Xia Jingyan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege, blocking in front of Zhou Ranmiao and said: "Mr. Zhou left a handkerchief, and it happened to be picked up by Yan'er, so he sent someone to tell Mr. Zhou to come to pick it up later, Mr. just came back from the training ground, and it was indeed a little late, presumably this handkerchief is very important to Mr., right?" ”
"Hmmm! Yes, this is the minister's mother left to the minister, it is the minister's mother who sewed it herself, in the eyes of others, it may not be worth a few dollars, but in the eyes of the minister, it is worth more than a thousand gold, the handkerchief is lost, the minister is in a hurry, I heard that the county lord picked it up, and he will come to pick it up as soon as he is busy with official business, but after all, it is late, and the minister is afraid that the general will misunderstand, so he made this decision...... "Zhou Ranmiao hurriedly answered.
"Since it is an important thing, Mr. will go and get it with Jingyan now." Xia Jingxuan said, and turned his head to look at Xia Jingchen again, "Mr. Zhou is taking things, so why don't you sleep so late?" ”
Xia Jingchen's heart was cold, it was over, and his "trick" was about to be exposed.
"Brother...... I...... I practice......" Xia Jingchen scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
Xia Jingxuan replied with a "disbelieving" look, "I haven't seen you work so hard during the day, you are the number one military general in the Dongjiang River, do you know how to practice?" ”
"Well, I'm here to catch bugs...... Yan'er is afraid of insects, so I caught the ...... to scare her."
"Brother!" Xia Jingyan clenched his fists and looked unconvinced, and Xia Jingchen hurriedly hid behind Zhou Ranmiao when he saw this.
Zhou Ranmao was speechless for a while, Xia Jingchen hurt himself on weekdays, and when something happened, he used himself as a shield, what is this called!
"Are you done?" Xia Jingxuan asked expressionlessly, but he was actually convinced.
"Catch ...... I'm done... Xia Jingchen took a step back, and responded with his hands in front of him.
"Then don't hurry up and go back to sleep!" As expected, Xia Jingxuan raised his leg and kicked Xia Jingchen behind him, "I won't get up tomorrow, right!" ”
"Sleep, sleep, sleep! Go back to sleep right away, brother, you rest early! I'll go first! Xia Jingchen fled like smoke, and there were only four people left in the garden.
"Mr. Zhou, this time it's just a matter of taking things, you can't go to Yan'er at night in the future, Yan'er is still a daughter in the boudoir, if this kind of thing spreads, it will damage your reputation." Xia Jingxuan told him that he was not very dissatisfied with Zhou Ranmao, but he still had some appreciation, Zhou Ranmao had saved Xia Jingyan before, and that a large number of rewards also included a part of Xia Jingxuan's reward.
"Yes, Dye Remember." Zhou Ran bowed.
"Go ahead." Xia Jingxuan returned to the pavilion, and Zhou Ranmao also followed Xia Jingyan back to the Yuqing Pavilion.
Xia Jingyan ordered everyone to rest early, and when the people were gone, Xia Jingyan blushed, lowered his head and pulled Zhou Ranmiao into the house, Lu Chaoya was still spreading a mattress in the house, seeing that the two of them came in, he sent Xia Jingyan a "I understand" look and left with real fun, and closed the door by the way, only Zhou Ranmao and Xia Jingyan were left in the house.
Mahogany chairs, gold wire mattresses, more than a dozen lamps lit in the house, shining brightly in the room, how comfortable Xia Jingyan's boudoir looks, comfortable and wants people to stay, the incense burner on the table is still emitting wisps of green smoke, and the delicate beauties in front of him, Zhou Ranmiao suddenly felt a little sleepy, and wanted to rest early, unconsciously, he hugged Xia Jingyan.
"What are you doing......
Xia Jingyan's soft voice came from his arms, and a small hand was gently pushing himself, Zhou Ranmiao became more and more "presumptuous", and he hugged it tightly.
"What the hell are you doing, coming to me so late...... You still have to hold me ......" Xia Jingyan's tone was a little complaining, but after all, she still secretly and little by little put her hand around Zhou Ranmiao's waist.
"Besides, I heard that Nanjiang's opera troupe was coming to sing music, and I knew that you liked to listen to it, so I came to you in the middle of the night and wanted to take you out to see, but as soon as I arrived at the Yuqing Pavilion, I saw that you were arrested by the Hou Ye, so I had to go back to the house again, who knew that I met the general in the garden again, and almost let him find out." Zhou Ranmiao whispered and kissed Xia Jingyan's cheek.
Xia Jingyan poked her head out, and after listening to what Zhou Ranmiao said, she suddenly remembered what she was most worried about.
"When did you propose marriage to Brother Wang? I'm afraid that it's too late, so Brother Wang will promise me to another family, and ...... I'm afraid we were already seen by Brother Hechen that day, and I still haven't dared to tell him to this day......"
"Don't worry." Zhou Ranmiao patted Xia Jingyan's head, "Zhao Jichen has always been honest, if he really wants to expose this matter, there is no need to hide it for you and me that day, I will go and clarify it with him in the future, don't be afraid." ”
"Oh......" Xia Jingyan aggrievedly burrowed into Zhou Ranmao's arms.
"As for the proposition...... Yan'er, you wait for me a few more days. ”
"Why?"
Zhou Ranmiao paused and said: "I am new to the palace, although the prince treats me generously, but after all, you are his only sister, he brought you up single-handedly, how could he immediately promise you to me a doorman who does not know the whereabouts?" Yan'er, wait a minute, when I really have a fame one day, I will set three books and six hires, and eight sedan chairs to welcome you as a wife, I won't let you wait too long. ”
Lies, all lies, Zhou Ranmiao's heart was aching, but when he thought of the tragic death of the whole clan, Zhou Ranmiao still deceived Xia Jingyan.
"Yan'er, I don't want you to marry in this life, if the prince wants to give you to others, I will go to rob the marriage."
The only truth is that he just wants to possess it, Zhou Ranmiao wants to imprison the light.
I'm sorry for you, but I'm not going to let you go.
"Rest early, Yan'er, if I stay for a long time, outsiders will spread rumors." Zhou Ranmiao suddenly wanted to escape. Xia Jingyan's eyes are stars, but he is only gray.
"I'll wait for you." Xia Jingyan didn't know Zhou Ranmao's thoughts, and he thought that this was the love of the mountain alliance and the sea oath.
Who knew that this was a thousand cuts in Zhou Ranmao's heart.
Walking out of the pavilion door again, Zhou Ranmao forgot about his fear for a while and walked alone on the dark path.
Also, why should people who are already in darkness be afraid of the darkness anymore?
Like falling into the abyss, a nightmare that people can't escape, when Zhou Ran woke up, cold sweat soaked his clothes and bedding.
He dreamed that countless soldiers of the Zhou family and the entire Zhou royal family were surrounding him and resented him.
Fall in love with the daughter of the enemy who exterminated the clan.
"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" Zhou Ranmiao shrunk into a ball, tears sliding from his eyes.
