The room was quiet, the water in the hair fell to the ground, ticking non-stop, the slightly curved eyebrows suddenly relaxed, Qu Lian took this seriously, and bent a pair of smiling eyes: "I'll go boil some ginger soup for you to go to the cold, if you have a high fever at this time, it's hard enough." ”

Eyes over the red sandalwood inlaid treasure Su embroidered finch flower screen, hazy to see the curtains of the lotus out, Luo Kui turned his eyes to look out of the window, not far from the window is not to cross the mountains, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but the mountain is steep and the road is particularly difficult to travel, the sunflower raises his eyes, from this window to look carefully, a touch of cold pool on the mountainside jumps into view, the deep pool is perennial white mist, the cold is difficult to set foot in, but the scenery is excellent, hold the window lattice and look at the cold pool, it is the most beautiful and leisurely time in the long days, the beautiful scenery is like this, it makes people forget the troubles of the world.

Looking at the distraction, Jingmo bypassed the screen, came in with his wet hair scattered, and entangled: "The profiteer who was killed by heaven that day used a fake to pit me for five taels of silver, and beat me up." Aoi, you go and help me get the money back. ”

Luo Kui retracted his eyes, twisted his wet hair, and the water droplets fell to the ground, spreading the dark flowers, and pouted and ridiculed: "It's just a matter of five taels of silver, and you're just embarrassed, I don't show my eyes, I still point to this eyesight to make a living." ”

The door curtain sounded softly, Qu Lian came in with a black lacquer shallow carved tea tray with a smile, the deep pear vortex was dyed with intoxicating spring, and her beautiful eyes were momentary, and she was busy lowering her eyes to Jingmo's deep black pupils, but the flow of light in her eyes was clearly visible.

She had a life-saving grace to Jingmo at first, these days Jingmo eats her and drinks her and lives her, and the silver owed has long been paid off, hearing this, she smiled slightly, her face was red in the thick breath, and handed Jingmo a white porcelain wide-mouth bowl, and the thick crimson ginger soup was spicy: "You said it earlier, I said it earlier, I said it earlier, I went to help you come back, they were afraid of me." ”

Jingmo didn't reach out to pick it up, but drank it all with Qu Lian's hand, clapped his hands and smiled: "Take a look, the head saved me once on Shengze Street, and now he helps me get silver, it seems that Qu Lian is still kind." ”

Fingertips swirled around the ends of her hair, and Qu Lian's smile became more and more affectionate and gentle: "My kindness is also conditional, I helped you get the money back, how can you thank me." ”

Jing Mo was stunned for a moment, touched the back of his head and thought for a while, before he opened his mouth with some pain: "Otherwise, five taels of silver, I will share half of you." ”

Qu Lian burst out laughing, and her cheeks faintly revealed the delicate color of roses: "I don't miss your two melons and two dates, and besides, these two melons and two dates can't thank me." ”

The corners of his lips rose slightly and smiled lightly, and Luo Kui bluffed a cold face and feigned anger: "Okay, okay, you two thank you or not, wait for the money you want to return, this will first talk about my unkindness, Jingmo, I don't raise idlers who eat and drink for nothing, you have always eaten a lot, and you will earn money to support yourself tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Jingmo didn't know what to do, Luo Kui chuckled, copied a rosewood abacus on the table, crackled for a while, and then raised his eyebrows as if he was smiling: "You have always eaten a lot, and you must have wine and meat at every meal, so that the meal money that charges you two taels of silver every month is not much." She raised her head and looked around the house, then looked at the courtyard, and looked back at a serious book: "Well, my house is idle and idle, we are old acquaintances, this house will not charge your rent, let you live in vain." ”

"You, you're a county anyway. Jingmo blurted out without thinking, but was glared at by Luo Kui's sharp eyes, and was so frightened that he swallowed back the second half of the words, his choked tongue was knotted, and he couldn't speak neatly at half a sound.

Qu Lian's mind was all on Jing Mo, and in an instant, she heard the strangeness in his voice, and couldn't help frowning: "Jing Mo, what do you say, what, what is the county." ”

"No, it's nothing, this ginger soup is so strong, it's sweaty. Jingmo was frightened, broke out in a cold sweat, raised his hand tremblingly and wiped it clean, and smiled: "I wanted to say that she is a gentleman anyway, but when I think of what she is doing now, she is really like a tiger and a wolf, where is the demeanor of a gentleman." ”

The haze in the center of her eyebrows has not yet dissipated, and Luo Kui curled the corners of her lips and smiled: "I am a woman and not a gentleman, what is the point of being like a tiger and wolf, and the more ruthless is still to come, you will know after a long time." ”

"You, you're really. Jingmo didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, he thought about it before he spoke, but he was short of words for a while, and felt that a mouthful of ginger soup choked in his throat, and his tears flowed.

Luo Kui glanced at him, the smile on his face was thick, and his eyes flashed with deep meaning: "It's crying urgently, it's early, you look for work slowly first, I won't drive you away." ”

Jingmo winked at Luo Kui, and saw that she didn't react, so he had to scratch his head in distress: "I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with the place, what can I find to make a living, and what can I pay you for food." ”

"There is a wharf in Qingzhou, and you can carry sacks on the wharf, and you can pay the wages on a daily basis, which is very cost-effective. Luo Kui turned a blind eye to Jingmo's distress, as if he didn't know, only holding a bowl and slowly sipping ginger soup, spicy into the throat, heart like a mirror, Jingmo in Yangzhou has always been ten fingers do not touch the spring water, although his family is in the middle of the road, but there is a grandfather who is used to him, used to only spend money and will not earn the young master's problem, now come to Qingzhou, no matter what, always have to live, so in order to live longer, can only live a more difficult life, she has a plan, ruthlessly refused to let Jingmo eat white food, iron heart to send him out, grind his temperament, and know how difficult life is in the people's livelihood。

Jingmo bit his lower lip, raised his hand and rubbed his slightly thin shoulder, frowned tightly, and played a scoundrel: "You see that I can't lift my hand and can't pick my shoulder, what if I am bullied outside." ”

Luo Kui squirted out a mouthful of ginger soup, pointed at him and coughed repeatedly: "You, you are still Sven, you are still bullied, you are a well-known Sven scum who beats your urine, the demon king of the world, it's good if you don't bully others, I don't know." ”

A pair of bright eyes glared at the boss, Jingmo blushed, he was indeed famous for his squirting when he was in Yangzhou, he did a lot of ridiculous things, and he also received a lot of concubines, and it was also a common thing to sleep in flowers and willows, but it was not a big deal, how did it get to Luo Kui's mouth, it sounded so unbearable, he couldn't help but sneer: "They are all readers, can they speak a little bit." He glanced at Qu Lian, a little embarrassed: "In front of outsiders, it's better to keep some thin noodles with me." ”

Luo Kui smiled coldly, and said lightly: "Mo Gongzi's face has always been less important than his words, when did he cherish his face so much?" ”

The summer rain comes and goes quickly, but a cup of tea, the rainstorm outside the window is slowing down, the raindrops are sparsely falling on the tile corridor and in the courtyard, the empty yard is more and more silent, the green leaves outside are like washing pomegranate flowers, looking at the prosperity but quiet.

"I think the best thing to do in Qingzhou now is the antiquities business, it's better to do this, I'll go and beg my father, even out of a shop, Jingmo you open an antiquities shop, it's better than sitting on the mountain now." Qu Lian drank a few cups of tea, waited for the flush on her face to subside slightly, and bit her lower lip in a gentle voice.

Jingmo looked sideways, glimpsed a little silver light in the faint light of the rain, it was a trace of white hair of Luo Kui, swaying in the breeze, and couldn't help but shake her head again and again, she was in the prime of life, but she had already given birth to Hua Hair, I knew that it was not because of too much thought, he thought about it and thought, and felt that he was such a good skin, with a head of white hair, it was really unsightly, so he sighed: "Doing business is troublesome and brain-consuming, I don't want to be born early like Falling Kui." ”

Hearing this, Luo Kui turned sideways slightly, half of her figure fell into the middle of the rhombic mirror, her face was like jade eyebrows and picturesque, it was really a flower-like age, but the low and winding green silk was mixed with a few strands of dazzling silver light, Luo Kui frowned slightly, pulled away the black hair and pulled out the white hair, and it was obviously used to doing it neatly, leaning over to the bronze mirror, and was planning to carefully pick up the black hair again to see if there was any white hair that had slipped through the net, and a tactful word fell into the ear, it was Qu Lian's voice: "Then give you a few acres of good land, how about drought and flood protection." ”

Jingmo shook his head vigorously, and the water beads on his hair flew out of the distance: "Raining under the scorching sun, my face is tanned and my legs are swollen, and I only have to harvest a few acres of fields, which is too uneconomical." ”

"Then, you can read and write, go to my private school to be a gentleman, the wind can't blow and the rain can't get wet, how about it. The bright eyes were shining and shining, and Qu Lian spoke softly, looking extremely patient.

Jingmo blinked his eyes, seemed to be a little tempted, but when he thought of the children of those distant relatives jumping up and down all day long in Yangzhou, he couldn't help but feel timid, and sighed with his fingers: "Don't go, don't go, I can't be a child's head, noisy people's brains hurt." ”

After answering one-on-one like this, Luo Kui was already furious at Jingmo's picking, but he still maintained a warm and beautiful smile on his face: "Then Jingmo, you tell me what you can do." ”

"Is there any work that doesn't need to use your brain, you don't have to exert your strength, and you can earn more money. Jingmo didn't notice Luo Kui's anger at all, and still folded his fingers to himself, and the abacus in his heart was loud and wonderful.

Luo Kui grabbed his ears and laughed angrily: "Then, Ming'er, I'll post a notice and ask who still lacks ancestors, and let you do it." If you don't starve to death, you don't plant the land, you don't dig a well, how can you live so ambitiously. ”

Her ears were torn and hurt, Jingmo finally woke up from the dream of not working hard, and was frightened by the anger in her eyes, and panicked: "No, no need, I think, I think it's good to do antiquities business, plus your family's ability to know antiquities, the business must be bad, so it's decided." ”

Luo Kui slowly raised his hand, combed a neat hanging hair into a small bun, and picked up a few plain dotted emerald bead hairpins in the box and put them into the bun, and cut off Jingmo's hope in one sentence: "I'm afraid that Huafa will regenerate, but I won't worry about this leisure for you." ”
