Views:

There was a gurgling sound of water in his ears, looming and indistinguishable. In the confusion, You Qing opened his eyes, but his vision was blocked by a fog. I want to vent, but I don't know what I'm angry about.

He raised his hand to clear the fog in front of him, took two steps forward, and fell into the white world again. He closed his eyes and listened, and there was a faint whisper of a man's elegant voice: "Little thing, I don't know you and him. Can you remember me, but it doesn't matter if I don't, if I can escape, I will definitely come to you."

A small whimper sounded, like an extremely aggrieved animal coquettish to its owner. Qing Ya's voice laughed, with a hint of pampering. After a while, it gradually turned cold. It seemed that she said something, but no matter what, she couldn't hear it clearly.

You Qing felt a little dizzy, and followed the sound as he walked over step by step, his feet were as soft as falling clouds. Gradually, the fog became thinner and thinner, and a quiet floral fragrance could be smelled on the nose. In the blurred vision, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared, and then the sky began to spin.

The feeling of rotation is very real. You Qing only felt that the world was full of flowers, and he calmed down. He saw a huge plum blossom suddenly appeared in front of him. The five petals slowly turned. .

The fragrance of flowers swept through like a raging wind, and the thoughts in my heart were chaotic. I was able to think for a while, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed that I had lost my sense.

The whimper in his ears drifted away, and the white mist in front of him became thicker and thicker. The chaotic petals around him were like vortexes in the depths of the pool, pulling him down fiercely.

.

"Aqing! Aqing!" When Bai Li woke up, he saw fine beads of sweat oozing out of You Qing's forehead, and his eyebrows were furrowed. light.

With great effort, he got out of the quilt, reached out a hand and touched his forehead, but he didn't feel it was hot, and he didn't know if it was really not hot or if his palm was already hot, so he couldn't help but look anxious: "Ah Qing! Wake up!".

You Qing was shaken a few times by him, her ink eyelashes moved slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"You're awake?!" Bai Li was amazed, but just as he was about to approach him to speak, he was suddenly startled by his cold, dark eyes. He blinked and looked at him cautiously, "Aqing... What's wrong with you?"

You Qing didn't seem to hear what he said, and looked straight at the ceiling. After a while, the dark color in his eyes gradually faded, and the color in his eyes returned to clarity. He frowned, closed his eyes for a while, and opened them again. Zhong was a little sober, and looked to the side suspiciously: "Ali, did you call me?"

Seeing his normal expression, Bai Li quickly nodded and leaned over: "Aqing, what happened to you just now?"

You Qing was stunned for a moment, then sat up and rubbed his forehead. After thinking for a while, he sighed softly: "I don't know why, it seems like I had a nightmare, but I can't think of it."

"Really?!" Bai Li's eyes lit up.

You Qing glanced at his expression, was speechless, and said with a smile, "I have nightmares and you are so happy?".

Bai Li retracted the quilt and said with a smile: "I thought I passed the typhoid fever to you, it would be fine if it wasn't!"

You Qing smiled, raised his hand and stroked his forehead. Seeing him squinting his eyes with enjoyment, he couldn't help but deepen his smile: "I still need to rest in bed today.

"Yeah." Bai Li nodded with a smile. Seeing him getting out of bed and getting dressed, his eyes were a little reluctant. "Aqing, I want to accompany you to see the magistrate."

You Qing turned his head and glanced at him: "Nonsense!".

Bai Li hummed unconvincingly: "Then when will you come back?"

"The county magistrate said that he invited me to come over before noon, so I'm sure I'll be back after lunch." You Qing walked over to the bed, pulled his arm into his sleeve and touched it, "I'll wipe it for you later. Khan, I'll prepare lunch for you, you need to wear more clothes when you get up."

Bai Li's face was a little hot, he hid in the bed and clutched the arm he touched tightly, thinking that he was his book boy but he had to take care of him in turn. Blinking at him: "I can do it myself, I have learned..."

"I know you will, I'll talk about it when you're well." You Qing smiled and tucked his quilt, turned and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Then, just like the day before, he wiped his face, decocted medicine, and took care of him in every possible way.

Seeing him being so kind to him, Bai Li's heart seemed to be filled with honey, but he became more and more dissatisfied. He didn't know when he would fall in love with him.

The result of his wild thoughts was that he couldn't control his emotions. When You Qing helped him sit up again and untied his shirt, Bai Li was confused and turned around suddenly and hugged him without saying a word.

.

You Qing was stunned when he bumped into him, and suddenly he didn't know where to put his hands. He lowered his eyelashes and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Bai Li rubbed against his shoulder, and his nose felt a little sour: "Aqing, you are so kind to me!".

When You Qing heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He didn't respond to his words. He just raised his hand and touched his head. He took a wrung-out handkerchief and wiped it on his back...

Seeing that he was not disgusted, Bai Li was overjoyed, and clasped his hands a little tighter without a trace.

You Qing rubbed and rubbed suddenly thinking of the imprint of the plum blossom that he saw yesterday, and he moved his hand for a while, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart again, but this emotion was fleeting, like the breeze blowing the willows. Like, you can't catch it, you can't keep it.

Seeing that the towel on his back suddenly stopped moving, Bai Li raised his head suspiciously after waiting for a while: "Aqing?"

"Huh?" You Qing returned to his senses, looked down at him, and saw his moist eyes fixedly looking at him, as if nothing around him could fit into his eyes except himself, and his heart trembled inexplicably. .

Bai Li was still confused: "Why didn't you wipe it?"

You Qing suddenly felt that his breathing was a little heavy, and his eyes fell uncontrollably on his slightly dry and pale lips, and then raised his eyes to meet his moist but clear eyes, suddenly sober, smiled and shook his head, and continued to give. He wiped: "Nothing."

After tidying up everything properly, You Qing told Bai Li not to come out to blow air. Seeing that he nodded obediently, he went out to the county magistrate's house.

Bai Li originally wanted to hide his figure and follow him secretly, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it would be better not to take this risk. If he really caught cold and typhoid fever, You Qing would have to blame himself for being disobedient, coming and going. After hesitating for a long time, he finally resigned and lay down in the bed.

The county magistrate's surname is Chen, he is nearly forty years old, his facial features are medium, but his figure is a bit ugly, he has a big belly, and he walks with a heavy noise. The beard also quivered leisurely, very warm.

This is also the first time You Qing has seen the magistrate. Although he doesn't like to judge people by appearances, he still feels a little uncomfortable looking at his face, so he slightly turned his eyes away, took out a scroll from his sleeve, and said warmly, neither humble nor arrogant: " Xiaosheng has seen the adults, and he came in a hurry and didn't have anything at home, so he had to draw a landscape picture by himself to express his feelings and hope that the adults would not dislike it."

The county magistrate laughed and took the picture quickly: "What did the nephew say, I have heard that you are very danqing, the old man is too late to ask, where will you dislike it, hurry up, come in and sit!" You Qing entered the seat, then lifted up his clothes and sat down on the stool next to him.

Seeing that the magistrate was a little too enthusiastic about him, You Qing couldn't help but look at him calmly.

The county magistrate seemed to be very happy, and he ordered the servants behind him to prepare vegetables with a red face, and then said to You Qing with emotion: "My nephew has been chosen by Juren, but he has won a lot of face for our backcountry!"

"Trust the Lord Hongfu.".

"Hahaha! I don't know what your nephew is going to do next? But are you going to participate in the test?"

"Exactly."

"Not bad! The young talents are really amazing!"

"..." You Qing smiled, really not knowing how to deal with such meaningless words.

The county magistrate didn't care about his silence, and raised his voice: "Serve the wine!"

.

There was a soft ringing of the ring and the scent of the nostrils, followed by the slight footsteps behind the door curtain, followed by a soft voice: "Father."

The county magistrate turned his head and waved cheerfully, "Daughter, come and see Young Master You!"

Chen Susu walked to You Qing's side in small steps, placed the flask lightly on the table, and bowed affectionately to him: "Susu has seen Young Master You!"

You Qing hurriedly stood up and stepped aside: "Miss Chen, you're welcome!" He was stunned when he raised his head.

This Chen Susu is none other than the girl who bought calligraphy and painting at the market the day before yesterday.

You Qing is not a fool. If it was before, I am afraid that the current situation would still be unclear, but since the last time the matchmaker talked about the kiss, he has understood more or less. At this time, although he was not 100% sure about the intention of the magistrate, he was 70% less certain.

The county magistrate greeted him to sit down again, and asked Chen Susu to pour them wine, and then let her sit on the stool beside You Qing.

You Qing's eyes suddenly became cold, and he didn't want to wait for a moment, but because of his status, he had to sit patiently.

The county magistrate greeted him to drink and eat, and chatted with him for a while with a smile on his face, and then cut to the point: "My nephew is extraordinary in appearance and outstanding in learning, but it is a pity that he is alone... ?"

You Qing was a little impatient in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face, and faintly spit out two words: "Never."

"Hahahaha! It's a good thing for a man to have great ambitions, but starting a family and starting a career are both indispensable!"

You Qing smiled slightly, but did not speak.

The county magistrate wiped his beard on the right side: "My nephew said that, she is a woman who has not yet liked it? Why don't this old man betroth your little daughter to you?"

Chen Susu's cheeks were slightly red, and she glanced at You Qing.

You Qing smiled and said, "Xiaosheng's family is poor, so he doesn't dare to climb high."

"Hey... what are you talking about! Family background is something outside the body, nephew Long Zhangfengzi, the little girl is not wronged when she marry you!"

You Qing felt a bit of a headache. After all, he didn't like to be impatient with others and betrayed snakes. His heart was impatient for a while, and his tone was still a little stiff: "Xiaosheng has never considered marriage, and please take back your good intentions."

Chen Susu's smile froze.

The county magistrate's face suddenly became ugly. After a moment of silence, he laughed again: "Daughter, what are you doing? Why don't you pour wine and vegetables for Young Master You?"

.

Pour wine... Cloth dishes

You Qing's forehead jumped, seeing that Chen Susu really took the chopsticks to serve him dishes after pouring the wine, and she still took her own chopsticks, her face changed, and she quickly raised her hand to block her movements, her tone was indifferent: "Young girl is not like this. You're welcome, Xiaosheng will come by himself."

Chen Susu's face was even more ugly, and the chopsticks were unable to advance or retreat in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, the magistrate felt a little angry in his heart. He originally did not care about this poor man being his son-in-law. With temper, he pulled You Qing's hand away, and said earnestly, "My nephew, you are so outrageous!"

Chen Susu's hand was blocked for a moment, and it was a bit of a loss to take it back. At this time, when You Qing's hand was removed, she sent the vegetables into his bowl and glanced at him: "Young Master You are really polite. ."

You Qing looked at the extra dishes in his bowl, stunned for a moment, and finally lost his appetite, stood up and cupped his hands to the magistrate: "Xiaosheng has something to do at home, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time, please allow Xiaosheng to retire first."

The county magistrate had already seen his many expressions just now, and now he heard his rude remarks, his face suddenly darkened, his originally small eyes narrowed slightly, and he stopped calling his nephew: "Young Master You, what do you mean?"

"Xiaosheng has no other intentions, there is indeed something at home." You Qing cupped his hands again, "Xiaosheng retire." Then he turned and walked towards the door.

The county magistrate looked at his straight back with a gloomy expression: "Stop!"
