Luo Kui raised his eyes, raised his fist by the way, and glared at him viciously: "What if you don't admit it, I wasn't born when I made this marriage contract, how did I know that you were so ugly, now that I know, I naturally want to deny it." ”

Jing Mo tugged at her cheek and pouted: "Grandpa, look, such a sharp-toothed girl, I don't dare to marry." ”

Luo Kui spat him: "A lazy man like you who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to marry, you are willing to marry, but I don't want to marry." She paused, and simply made her words clear: "When you were packing your luggage today, I saw that the handkerchiefs in your baggage were all well embroidered, and they were all from the hands of different girls." ”

Jingmo was slightly stunned, but he nodded brightly, and admitted neatly: "Yes, I received some tongfang when I was in Yangzhou, so what, isn't it common for men to have three wives and four concubines, besides, I haven't accepted a concubine yet, but I just accepted the tongfang, and I sent it clean when I came." ”

Luo Kui originally wanted to say that she didn't like him to take a concubine, but after thinking about it, the name was undecided, why didn't she like it, even if the name had been decided, even if she didn't like it, she could stop it a few times, she turned her head and saw a large handful of hibiscus on the ground, taking advantage of the night to pick it, the flower head was tightly wrapped, only revealing the red dots, the lotus leaves were green and slightly curled, and the cold night dew on the top exuded a round and jade shimmer. She took the hibiscus and carefully offered it in the white porcelain vat next to the desk, the clear waves reflected the swaying red flowers and green leaves, and the void was filled with a quiet and sweet fragrance.

Layer by layer to open the carved beam food box, Luo Kwai said while holding all kinds of food outside: "This lychee dew is made of fresh lychee peeled pulp, mixed with the best fresh milk to boil, and then put it in the well water to soak it, and finally poured a spoonful of honey, the taste is sweet and fragrant." ”

Jingmo thought that Luo Kui was silent, so he acquiesced to the matter, so he didn't mention it, and saw a cup of soup in the second layer, the soup was snow-white and transparent, the soft Sydney pear was paired with dotted wolfberries, and there was a faint smell of Chuanbei in the sweetness. There was crying again in his voice, and he endured it a few times but couldn't hold it back, and finally lowered his tears: "Grandpa has an old problem with coughing, but it's a pity that the Chuanbei Sydney pear soup I make is not as good as yours." ”

Luo Kui didn't say a word, only hung his head.

In the last layer there is an ice bowl, very thin slices of melon, accompanied by the same very thin crushed ice, sprinkled with a handful of green raisins, and finally poured a spoonful of honey beans and honey, the weather is hot, although it is night, the ice in the bowl is still a little melted, and a fine layer of water droplets appear on the bowl.

Among the seven tablets, there are five names that Jingmo recognizes, namely Luokui's father, Jingmo's father and grandfather, but the remaining two tablets, he looked at it again and again, he didn't recognize it, and couldn't help but raise his eyes and say in surprise: "This is, which country's word is this, whose tablet is it." ”

Luo Kui raised his eyes, glanced at the tablet, and said a word, but did not say deeply: "Daddy's old friend, you don't recognize it." She sighed silently, looked at Jingmo with a good look, and said that he would not hesitate at all: "Jingmo, since you have come to Qingzhou, then I have to explain a few words to you, Qingzhou is different from Yangzhou, there are many wealthy families, and the door valve is complicated. ”

Jing Mo's cheeks were slightly red, knowing that Luo Kui's words were a euphemism to knock him out today, he was really empty in his heart, but his mouth refused to soften half a point: "Why are you so nervous, Su Zi's identity is not a big deal, and it doesn't matter what he said." ”

Luo Kui raised his eyes, his expression was faint without a trace of smile: "If it really doesn't matter, why do I have to hide it so far, Jingmo, now is an eventful time, more things are better than less things, you and I must always be careful and careful, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"With your identity here, what trouble can there be, dare to come to the door without dying. Jingmo is already a little weak-hearted, he has never known how to hide his emotions, whether he is sad or happy, or angry, he writes word by word on his face, so that others can see it clearly.

The willow branches outside the window are like slender hands, picking up the heavy night and splashing out, and the night sinks like water. Luo Kui's heart sighed, like a light smoke, although it quickly drifted away, but the fragrance lingered: "It is precisely because of my identity that I am here, it will be easier to get into trouble, I am naturally not afraid of trouble to come to the door, but there is really no need to take the initiative to cause trouble, everything is low-key, and it is the best policy to be cautious in words and deeds." ”

Jingmo let out a long sigh, and his mind was depressed: "I came all the way to Qingzhou, I wanted to use your identity to show off my might, who would have thought that it would be better to be in Yangzhou, to be a dumb person, and I can't even say anything I want." ”

Luo Kui only felt angry, and his heart was heavy with a depressed sullen breath, but it was not easy to attack, so he could only endure it reluctantly, put on a very patient look, and persuaded bitterly: "My identity is really my burden, if I am not cautious enough, even if I sneeze at home, but a cup of tea, it will be listened to by people who want to know, Jingmo, you don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring around my mansion." ”

Where has Jingmo experienced such a thing, and he was stunned: "This, this, is this true, what are they staring at you, are you not lying to me and scaring me." ”

Luo Kui sighed: "What did I lie to you about, Jingmo, you think about why you came, you think about why your grandfather died, isn't it half strange." ”

There was no window and no wind, but the candle flame swayed fiercely, dyeing this square inch of land with a strange color, and Jingmo's back spine tightened, and he was covered in white sweat. His heart trembled violently, his face was white, like bleak snow in winter, he sat on the ground in horror, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, grandpa died of illness, Lang Zhong also said the same, I, we have always kept to ourselves, never offended others, what, how can we get involved in disasters." ”

Luo Kui was a little worried, worried about Jingmo's naivety and ignorance of the world, worried about his difficulties in Qingzhou in the future, worried about his bad luck, and sighed and shook his head: "Grandpa never told you anything before he was alive." ”

Jingmo choked up for a while, opened his mouth and didn't know where to start, and thought for a long time before he tilted his head and frowned: "Grandpa, grandpa only said that no matter when and where, you can't tell others about your acquaintance, let alone a little bit about you, so I have never mentioned you to Qu Lian these days, Ah Kui, you, you." He looked flustered: "You, what do you know?" ”

Luo Kui took a black tablet and slowly wiped the dust on it, his eyes were dim, and his voice was low and sad, like the sound of the wind whimpering in the dark room: "Jingmo, the ancestral hall of the Jing family is quite magnificent." ”

Jingmo was slightly stunned, and didn't understand the reason why Luo Kui asked this, so he only nodded subconsciously: "Angry, magnificent, what's wrong." ”

Luo Kui lowered his head and gently stroked the tablet: "After my father passed away, there was no mourning hall, no worship, and even the tomb could only be hidden in the unsightly wilderness, and there was not even a tombstone. She raised her eyes and looked around the miserable white surroundings, and let out a long sigh: "On Daddy's death day, I can only hide here to worship him and say a few words to him." ”

Jingmo knelt on the ground, he also felt at first that worshipping the ancestors here was a little weird, it was really not solemn and respectful, but then he thought about it, the Shui Luo Kui he knew, he had never respected the rules, and it was rare to be able to remember to worship the ancestors, let alone where to worship, but at first glance when he heard Luo Kui's words, he was also surprised, and opened his mouth and said: "This, why is this." ”

Luo Kui put the tablet on the table upright, and looked at it in a daze: "I don't know much, Jingmo, I only know that decades ago, the Jing family and the Shui family lived in Qingzhou for a long time, and the relationship was also very close, but then I don't know what trouble happened, Ling Zun died, fortunately did not implicate the Jing family Manmen was convicted, grandpa in order to avoid suspicion, he took the Jing family to settle in Yangzhou, and my father also fell silent in Qingzhou, and our two families gradually lost contact. Later, then my father was convicted, which affected the Shui family, destroyed the ancestral hall, and broke the inheritance. ”

There is no wind, the candle flame is anxious for a while, slow for a while and keeps swaying, that is Luo Kwai spit out every word of the amazing heart, every sentence of the breath, cold breeze through the candle flame, this word has eliminated the bloody wind and rain in the old things, only picked up some gentle slow words, but around so, or startled the lamp and candle, scared people's hearts.

The more Jingmo listened, the heavier his heart became, and finally his face changed dramatically when he heard it, and he couldn't help himself in horror, and he couldn't say anything anymore, so he only said in a trembling voice: "I, I don't know, I don't know anything, you, me, me, me, after that, in the future, I, how can I be good." ”

Luo Kui sighed, grandpa should really feel sorry for Jingmo, the only seedling of the Beijing family, he spoiled him can't withstand the slightest bit of wind, frost, rain and snow, in contrast, his father should be really ruthless, he should be Jin Zun Yugui's own, he has become a natural and naturally raised appearance, it is not that he picked it up, but Suzi was also picked up by his father, how can he raise it so well, it seems that whether he raises it well has nothing to do with who gave birth to it and who raised it, it depends on talent.

She pinched the handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, these things have passed for more than ten years, grandpa is the last person involved in this old thing, all the old things have nothing to do with you, you are not afraid, but you came to Qingzhou to avoid disaster, and I moved here to avoid disaster, now the situation is chaotic, there is no real comfortable person, just longer than who can survive, the so-called long future, good days are still ahead, do you say yes." ”

This is as clear as white water at a glance, although helpless but also the truth, Jingmo has already settled his mind, chased away the fear in his heart, and nodded silently: "Since Uncle Shui left, your situation has been worse day by day, it is too hard, I shouldn't embarrass you, Ah Kui, don't worry, I will be with you in the future." ”
