16 Chapter 16
Before marriage, Zhiyin had written a letter with her husband, and she had read that letter many times, but it was never such a handwriting.
Zhiyin was uneasy, and quickly went inside and pulled out the box he brought. She took out the letter and compared it, one book and one note, old and new, and the handwriting was very different.
It is like a golden iron horse, with a sharp edge;
It seems to be Chongtai Liyu, and the law is strict.
The two handwriting styles are very different, and it is clear that they are not the work of the same person.
There are also many books on the art of war piled up on the case, stacked neatly. Her mind raced, and she quickly opened the book. It's a pity that the top is very clean, and I can't find one or two handwriting for comparison.
Zhiyin's heart seemed to slow down by half a beat, and suddenly, doubts were born like spring grass.
If it was Lang Jun who corresponded with her, whose annotation was on this note? Lang Jun has been holding the scroll lately, didn't he write it?
Why are these two handwritings completely different, and these military books happen to have no word for word?
Selfishly, she doesn't want to doubt the person next to her pillow, but some things really don't make sense.
She knew that her husband had a twin brother, and sometimes, she couldn't help but think about it. Not to mention the fact that it is now the time when two completely different handwriting suddenly appear.
It's been two months since she got married, but she hasn't seen both of them together at the same time. And Yifujun's indifference to himself is more like avoiding suspicion.
Maybe she married an uncle from beginning to end. The young man who had talked to her at the lantern festival and chased her out to ask her name is long gone......
This can also match the mother-in-law's intention to eagerly look forward to their round house at the beginning.
This conjecture sent chills all over Zhiyin's body.
Thinking of the intimacy that the two had at night, there was a burst of heat on her face - if this was the case, wouldn't she have been adulterous with her uncle all along?
She calmly put the two pieces of paper back in their place, and when Yun Yuan came over to clothe her, she asked, "Where did Lang Jun go?" ”
Yun Yuan said: "I don't know, Xu went to the lady's courtyard." ”
He occasionally is not in the courtyard on weekdays, because he has nothing to do at home for a long time, Zhiyin should not doubt him, but at this moment, he is confused because of these handwritings.
Ziwei City, Xianyang Palace.
The Duke of Chu was still in confinement, and the news of Xie Mingting's request to see him first spread to the Huiyou Palace, and after obtaining the empress's permission, the door of the palace that had been blocked for a long time slowly opened.
In the hall, Zhou Xuanying was copying a book in front of the case, and when he saw that it was him, he only glanced at it and lazily withdrew his gaze:
"Why are you here?"
What he copied was a book similar to the "Female Commandments" that the Emperor Taishang personally organized and compiled when he was choosing a son-in-law for the empress, counting the gains and losses of the virtuous ministers and queens of the past dynasties, so as to achieve the persuasion of the son-in-law. Since the two got married, Zhou Xuanying has been punished for copying several times, and she has long been familiar with the content of the book.
- It's just that those are of little use to him.
Xie Mingting stood three feet away from him, his face as cold as bluestone: "Come and ask His Highness for an antidote." ”
"Antidote?" Zhou Xuanying sneered, "This medicine is called love medicine, but it is actually a witch medicine, where did it come from?" Otherwise, why would you watch Feng Siyuan's old man pick up the bargain! ”
When he said Feng Siyuan, he was furious and gritted his teeth, as if he was quite resentful.
As soon as the words changed, a touch of cunning flashed in the eyes of the beautiful peach blossom: "Besides, even if you think there is an antidote, you shouldn't just come to find Gu today, right?" ”
Xie Mingting was silent.
As he said, he should have come early in the morning to ask for the antidote, but he did not believe that it would attack four times, and second, he overestimated his endurance.
Last night...... Last night, he almost couldn't control himself.
And this is obviously contrary to the quiet inaction he has cultivated over the past 20 years, and it is also contrary to secular morality.
Besides, he can not care about worldly morality, but he can't care less about his brother.
The younger brother, Yun Ji, is the person he cares about the most in the world, and after his father leaves, he is his only concern in the world, and he can't ignore his brother's feelings.
His silence undoubtedly fueled Zhou Xuanying's arrogance, Zhou Xuanying grinned, smiling wickedly and mockingly.
"How's it going, Champion Lang?" He called Xie Mingting, "How does the joy of fish and water taste?" What about younger siblings? ”
Xie Mingting's face turned pale.
"Really?" He asked.
"Nope." Zhou Xuanying replied categorically, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Feng Siyuan's old man." ”
"Besides, it's all come to this point, what's there to be ashamed of. What is the difference between the first and the second, third, and fourth round? Isn't it self-deception that my younger siblings came to pretend to seek an antidote after they had tasted it? He scoffed.
There was no antidote, Xie Mingting saluted perfunctorily and turned to leave. Zhou Xuanying smiled proudly: "I would like to advise our champion, this is only the eighth day, but there is another time." This medicine is violent, and it will be very uncomfortable if you can't get rid of it. ”
He didn't look back, but in a blink of an eye, the man had disappeared into the snowy sky outside the door.
Zhou Xuanying had been thinking about it behind closed doors for seven or eight days, and the palace door was still open for the first time, and his cronie Mingquan took the opportunity to sneak in and report the matter of the Wuwei County Lord asking for medicine.
Zhou Xuanying was slightly surprised: "No, I really haven't slept yet?" Xie Mingting can pretend? ”
If that's the case, my aunt shouldn't have come back to ask for medicine.
The so-called fourth time was just a lie to him, the medicine was only three times, how could there be a fourth time, he wanted to see the person who thought he was drugged and acted with his younger siblings, and when the time came, he learned that there was no expression at all what the last time would be. Unexpectedly, he really survived three times.
"Then give it to her." Zhou Xuanying's phoenix eyes rolled and smiled evilly, "Zhuang Yuanlang is also a lonely cousin, he hasn't tasted a woman in his twenties, can't he help him as a younger brother?" ”
On the same day, the half bottle of the only remaining treasured secret medicine was secretly sent to Chen Liuhou's mansion and handed over to the county lord of Wuwei.
Zhiyin didn't know anything about the things in the palace. She waited patiently in the room, and waited until noon before Xie Mingting hurried back from the palace.
"Where have you been?"
"Feel free to walk around the house." Xie Mingting walked in as usual.
It was customary for the two of them to do this between them, and it was clear that more intimate things had already been done at night, but during the day, he always treated her coldly, and at this moment he only answered and went to the study.
Zhiyin got up to follow, he was a little surprised, and when he turned around, she had crashed into his arms, two soft willow-like arms, tightly wrapped around his waist.
His face was pressed against his chest, and there was a sudden hug.
Xie Mingting's heartbeat seemed to be half a beat slower.
The heat has gradually gathered behind the ears, but the voice is light: "What's the matter?" ”
"No, I just miss you?" She raised her head, her eyebrows and eyes were shy and timid, and she was the shyness of a young woman's new entrance.
He's only been walking for half a day, so there's nothing to think about. Xie Mingting thought.
However, under the little woman's admiring gaze, his face was hot, and his gaze had nowhere to put it, so he refused to look at her slightly.
Zhiyin saw all his awkwardness in his eyes, pretended to be unconscious, took him by one hand and walked quickly to the bookcase, and muttered:
"Well, actually, I can't write a few words, so I thought I'd wait for you to come back and ask you ......"
"I wonder if Lang Jun can teach me?"
"What word?"
The two of them had already stood in front of the bookcase at this time, she suddenly turned around, and was surrounded by his figure between him and the bookcase, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she suddenly leaned over, Xie Mingting subconsciously hugged the person.
Looking at each other, there was a bright and clear smile in her eyes, reflecting the autumn scenery pouring in from the window behind her.
Then, Rou Yi climbed his shoulders and stood on tiptoe to gently close to his ear, and her voice was as light as a gust of wind in a spring night: "Of course it's ......"
"It's ...... word 'mandarin duck' of 'why quit to die, willing to be a mandarin duck and not envy the immortal'."
After speaking, she moved her face away, and just offered herself little by little in his stunned gaze, kissing his slightly cool lips.
It is like in the rippling sunset, the golden wind stirs the hibiscus and jade dew, sprinkles on the water surface, and ripples in circles. Xie Mingting's heart was suddenly so confused that he couldn't help himself.
Different from those deep kisses full of lust in the moonlit quiet night, this kiss was too light and too light, she quickly moved her face embarrassedly, with a slight apprehension and hope in her clear apricot eyes:
"This is the reward, is Lang Jun willing to teach now?"
One hand, however, had already grasped the left hand he was accustomed to holding a pen and shook it gently.
Xie Mingting came back to his senses.
There was still a faint red on her fair-skinned handsome face, and he forced himself to calm down, holding her hand and holding the rabbit hair on the white jade pictogram on the mountain of the pen stand.
Skin to skin, ears and temples grinding, he insisted on her holding pen dipped in ink, but a heart in his chest was beating uncontrollably.
Zhiyin's heart is also beating.
It was the best way she could think of to test his handwriting, and she didn't believe it, even if he would remember to cover it up at this time.
If that's the case, then he's too upright and gentleman......
But how can a righteous man and a gentleman pretend to be a younger brother and have adultery with his younger brother and sister?
Xie Mingting really didn't remember to cover it up.
There seemed to be a dense and subtle drum beat between his heart, which shook his heart slightly. He held her hand and picked up the pen to write.
It's just that when she was about to put down the pen, she suddenly saw a slightly fluttering curly eyelashes under her eyelids.
His hand paused slightly.
What is she nervous about?
In an instant, I understood, it turned out that making these coquettish gestures was just a test of his handwriting.
It turned out that he was only to be tempted......
If he was Yun Zhi, would she still test him like this? The answer is obvious!
There was a moment of annoyance in my heart, and then a hint of an urge for revenge. Like a trickle hidden under the ice, subtle but not to be ignored, the original struggle to deceive the younger sibling disappeared.
He didn't hold on to her hand in any way, and inscribed half of the words in his brother's handwriting. But it was not the song "The Ancient Meaning of Chang'an" she asked, but-
I have been working for a long time, and I have tried to draw flowers. When I was idle and tired of embroidery work, I smiled and asked how to write the word mandarin duck?
"How?"
He put down the pen and gently turned the person around with his palm on her shoulder: "Do you want to kiss again?" ”
The shadow in his eyes was clear, and he couldn't see any signs of ambiguity. But Zhiyin's face turned red to the base of his neck in an instant.
She had the illusion that she was being tricked if she couldn't be tempted, and for a while, she didn't know how to answer.
Coincidentally, at this time, Yun Yuan came in to deliver tea and soup, and saw two shadows entangled together by the windowsill, and blushed and wanted to retreat. Xie Mingting stopped her: "What's the matter?" ”
While gesturing to her with his eyes.
Yun Yuan instantly understood, and replied with a smile: "The county lord asked Lang Jun to come over." ”
He let go of Zhiyin: "I'll go to my mother's side first." ”
With that, he pressed his palm lightly on her shoulder and walked away.
Yun Yuan also retreated after saluting, and the study was empty, except for the sound of Zhiyin's cramped and nervous heartbeat.
She looked at the handwriting on the paper sprinkled with gold and snow, although the book was tender, it was also sharp in the golden hook iron painting, and it was indeed the handwriting that corresponded with herself.
Could it be that she really thinks too much?
"Bride, already suspicious."
At this time, Xie Mingting had already walked to his mother's courtyard and got straight to the point.
Fang Cai, if it weren't for the fact that he shared his schoolwork for his younger brother since he was a child, and he practiced handwriting that was exactly the same as him and couldn't even be distinguished by his father, I am afraid that it would have been leaked.
"My son needs to know all the details of the past between her and Yun Ji."
Since the lord of Wuwei County ordered his eldest son to pretend to be the youngest son and bride, this is the first time he has taken the initiative to approach his mother's yard. The lord of Wuwei County stroked the cat's back with his hand and smiled coldly: "I only think about it now and ask, it seems that I hid it well when I was a child." ”
Xie Mingting's face was gloomy.
He knew his mother was sarcastic. In the past, it was his mother who hoped that he could hide it, and begged him softly several times.
Now, he had to hide it, and turned to beg his mother.
Many times, he also wants to tell his younger siblings everything. But at this point, the relationship between the two of them has already crossed the line, but they don't know how to end.
After the Wuwei County Lord taunted, he didn't hide it: "What is the past?" Didn't Lin'er tell you? The bride was met by him at the Lantern Festival last year, and when he came back, he went crazy and went to the Gu family to propose marriage. You know - with someone like the Gu family, where is it worthy to be our in-laws? If your brother doesn't like it, how can I marry him Gu! ”
Speaking of this, the county lord of Wuwei looked at him suspiciously: "No, don't you know?" Didn't the two of you go out together that night? ”
