The summer breeze was warm, sweeping through Qu Lian's heart, but she only felt cold, read so many poems, watched so many plays, naturally knew the meaning of the childhood sweetheart, although there was still a smile on her face, but there was a puddle of sour water in her heart, she was like swallowing a green plum, sour and astringent, she couldn't swallow it, and she didn't have time to sigh and think, so she heard a sentence that made her heart beat even more.

"What about Su Zi, why don't you see others, you hold him as a peerless son, he doesn't think about reciprocating, doesn't he follow the master's family? Jingmo looked at Luo Kui's side, he had always spoken freely, and his speech was faster than his brain, but now he was immersed in the great joy of meeting his hometown and his old acquaintance, he was even more happy and carried away, and some words naturally blurted out without thinking about it.

As soon as these words came out, Luo Kui was stunned, and she also saw the disbelief on Qu Lian's face in the corner of her eyes, she sighed secretly in her heart, it turned out that she hadn't seen her for several years, Jingmo hadn't changed at all, and she was still as fast as before, and her mouth was faster than her brain, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was shocking, and he couldn't guess what earth-shattering words would be said later, fortunately, fortunately, he only knew a peerless son, and looked at Qu Lian's expression, in the past few days, Jingmo hadn't said anything important to her, and he hadn't even mentioned his name to her, so he calmed down, and his expression was faint: "He went out to play. ”

Jingmo has always had a big heart, and he didn't see Luo Kui's anger at all, nor did he see Qu Lian's surprise, and he didn't realize what he said wrong, so he still said to himself: "His heart is really big, he is willing to leave you alone in Qingzhou, and run out to hook up with his little daughter-in-law." ”

Hiding his hand in his sleeve and shaking it quietly, Luo Kui glanced at Jingmo: "Suzi doesn't love the little daughter-in-law, he only loves the big girl." ”

Jingmo raised his eyebrows, sneering like a rat stealing food, proud and obscene: "What you said is wrong, Wushuang Gongzi is a big girl and a little daughter-in-law, eh, he has been out for so long and has not come back, should he be sold to be a Qing man." ”

Luo Kui hooked the corners of his lips and smiled coldly as usual: "How come, Su Zi is old, who else would want it, besides, if he really went to Goolan Courtyard, he must have walked in willingly." ”

These words were like a heavy hammer beating a drum, beating Qu Lian's heart and liver trembled, her heart was mixed, shocked and sour and even angry, her angry eyes swirled on the two of them again and again, and there were questions that she almost wanted to declare, and finally she held back her anger and raised her eyes to stare at Luo Kui: "Luo Kui, you, you have known the unequaled son for a long time, and you just pretend not to know me, right." ”

Without waiting for Luo Kui to speak, Jing Mo hurriedly spoke: "Luo Kui naturally recognizes him, the name of the unequaled son sounds terrifying, but in the end, he is just the housekeeper of the Shui family." He raised his hand and touched his chin, and his words were quite unconvinced: "I don't know how much shit luck he has stepped on over the years, and he is so famous." ”

In Qingzhou in July, the morning sun is like fire and the sunset is golden, and it is so hot everywhere that a fire can be started out of thin air, but at this moment, there is a coolness out of thin air, as if a thick cloud is cast down, and it is cast on the hearts of several people who have their own hearts.

Qu Lian's heart and face sank a little, the reputation of the unequaled son was so big, so big that it was like thunder, so big that he had never met him but secretly promised it, but he was such a famous person, he was willing to be a housekeeper of a down-and-out family, and Luo Kui, who seemed to be down-and-out but could drive the unequaled son, seemed to be sincere but concealed everything, Qu Lian's heart fell to the bottom in an instant.

Seeing that Qu Lian's eyes were not good, Luo Kui knew that she had to think carefully about how to explain the matter. And now, she looked around, bustling people came over, there were many people in the land of right and wrong, and it was not suitable for talking, she hurriedly patted Jingmo's back, pulled him and Qu Lian, who looked suspicious, and left the main street of Shengze quickly, the troika of the Qu family's rosewood was waiting at the entrance of the street, and the three of them hurriedly got on the car, and returned to the Shui family in the west of the city without stopping, so they could breathe a sigh of relief.

Qingzhou outer city west of the city is remote and barren, not only the rich and noble families are extinct here, even the ordinary people who have thin family property, but also rarely build their family houses here, and the water family is located here, so it seems very clean, a house has a total of five blue brick houses and a stove room, with a small courtyard of half an acre, the soil is a little barren, but take a closer look, the grass and trees in this courtyard are lush and colorful, and a few rows of vegetable fields split out in the corner can also be self-sufficient.

The house is not big, but a moment of effort, Jingmo has paced around the courtyard, picked up a room next to the room of Luokui, at that time the stratus clouds were heavy, the sunlight was faintly through, it was the glimmer of the mountain rain when it was coming, the room was slightly bright and tactful, pushed open the back window, just to see the distant mountains of Buyue, he threw the burden on the bed, nodded with satisfaction, his eyes were like water, and he looked back with a narrow smile: "The scenery here is good, I will live in this room." ”

Qu Lian followed Shengze Street all the way, and bumped in the carriage for an hour, she was already delicate, and now her face was even more pale, she couldn't breathe, and she didn't care whether it was raw water in the tank, scooped a scoop and poured a few sips, drank in a hurry, choked and coughed, and the doubts in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows lingered for a long time, implying anger: "Luokui, what's going on here, you deliberately deceived me, right." ”

When she went out, Luo Kui used well water to calm a melon, at this time she took it out and the tentacles were cold, she wiped the melon clean, took a knife to break the thick and thin melon, and a crisp and sweet melon fragrance came to her face. She was not in a hurry to defend anything, but slowly, cut the melon neatly with a knife, took the plain white porcelain plate and handed it over: "Taste, this melon is quite sweet." ”

"Say, tell me, what the hell is going on. Qu Lian's mind was not on the melon at all, she took the melon slice and put it on the edge of the well, only urging vigorously, wanting an explanation that she could coax herself to rest assured.

Luo Kui sighed secretly, although there was still a smile on his face, there was no warmth in his smile, his eyes were calm without a trace of flickering, and his words were calm without any waves, like a pool of stagnant water, cold and a little scary: "The real name of the unequaled son is Su Zi, and he is a disciple of his father, my senior brother." ”

These words were too cold, and Qu Lian and Jing Mo shivered coldly.

In the copper jar in front of the court, a few koi fish swam more and more violently, as if they couldn't stand the cold words and the cold water in the jar, and they came out of the water one after another, breaking the calm lotus fragrance, causing the clear waves to ripple, and the pink and white bowl lotus swirled and floated to the cylinder wall.

Qu Lian was stunned, opened her mouth and stammered for a long time, her shocked face was a little distorted, and she snorted the corners of her lips and said: "Since you are senior brothers and sisters, and he is the housekeeper of your family, and he lives in the same house with you, why does no one know the real name of the peerless son, let alone his relationship with you." ”

Luo Kui sighed in her heart, this matter is not unknown to anyone, there are two people in the Qu family who know, but Qu Lian doesn't know, she smiled: "Qu Lian, Su Zi is the most stingy, saying that he is a housekeeper for me, but in fact, he just thinks that the house in Qingzhou City is too expensive, and living with me can save some silver." ”

Qu Lian pursed her lips, and the sour water in her heart involuntarily surged up again, she thought that Luo Kui was her bosom friend, but she hid a big thing from herself, it turned out that they were never confidants, and they were always separated by a heart: "There are many people in Qingzhou City, and the name of the unequaled son is so big, if you don't deliberately hide it, how can this matter be concealed in the slightest." ”

Luo Kui lowered his eyes slightly, held down the slight wave in his heart, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were already clear, and he said with a smile: "He picks the door and has a good face, and prefers beauties, if people know that he can't even afford a house, and he is a housekeeper who doesn't earn wages, then wouldn't it become a joke for him to get a reputation for his hard work, so how can he be willing, it's too late to hide it, how dare he go around saying it." ”

Qu Lian tilted her head, chased after her step by step, and didn't let a single step: "It's just that he doesn't say it himself, his mouth grows on you, how can he still care if you say it or not." ”

Luo Kui stretched out her hand to hold Qu Lian, but only held a handful of empty nothingness, she took a sip of cold tea, and smiled helplessly: "He forced me to swear, if I say it, it will make me have acne on my face and sores on the soles of my feet, and besides, I live with him alone, how ugly it is to say." She knew that Qu Lian was simple-minded, so she was the best coax, so she took her hand and smiled bitterly: "Don't you want to see me ruined or ruined my reputation, and I can't get married." ”

Qu Lian's heart suddenly softened, so she had to shake her head gently: "Naturally I don't want to." ”

Luo Kui looked at Qu Lian intently, her eyes were sincere, her words were soft, and her posture was very low, which made people reluctant to say cruel words: "Okay, okay, it's wrong for me to hide from you, good Qu Lian, I'll make you a lot of delicious food, I'll make you a sheep tongue stick, bad quail, don't be angry with me, okay." ”

Sheep tongue and bad quail are Qu Lian's favorite dishes, originally Gu Shanfang did a good job, but three years ago when he was in Gu Shanfang, Luo Kui sneered at these two dishes, scolded them for nothing, and was almost beaten out by the shopkeeper and his buddy of Gu Shanfang, so he made friends with himself because of eating.

As soon as she thought that this dish was made by Luokui, her tongue was fragrant and salivating, and she threw all the concealment and deception out of the clouds, completely forgetting that she was still angry, and felt that she couldn't help but drool just thinking about the names of those dishes, and her smile slowly opened from the corners of her lips and eyes, like a thousand trees blooming: "Forget about the side, just now I ordered my subordinates to send a few Qihe crucian carp over, and you just happened to make honey stew and fried fish in the evening." ”

"Okay, okay, and me, and me, and I, I'm going to eat fish too. Jingmo leaned between the two and laughed out of place.

Thinking that it was Jingmo's mouth that caused an unwarranted disaster, Luo Kui was angry, but it was not good to attack on the spot, so he had to hold back his anger and glance at him: "Your mouth, it turns out that there is only this benefit left."
