It's a sunny morning.
When Luo Qingzhou woke up, there was no one around him.
There were a few sparrows on the windowsill, chirping non-stop, as if calling him to wake up.
Looking at the bright red decorations in the room, smelling the lingering fragrance in the air.
Thinking about last night’s lingering moments, it felt like a dream.
But obviously, this was not a dream.
My head feels heavy and my body feels as if it has been hollowed out.
My body is still too weak.
Lift the quilt.
There was a white cloth underneath.
On the white cloth, plum blossoms dotted around, telling the story of last night’s love and affection, despite wind and rain.
The eldest lady suspected that the girl was no longer innocent.
To be honest, he was mentally prepared.
But the fact proves that the girl's body is still pure and clean.
The most precious first time was reserved for him on the wedding night last night.
However, what he found hard to accept was that they had already gotten married, but until now, he still didn't know what the other person looked like.
If I tell this to others, I’m afraid no one will believe it, right
By the way, the bride was too proactive last night.
The wedding wine has not been drunk yet, and the red veil has not been lifted yet.
This does not fit in with the character of the ladies of this era.
so…
Is there really something wrong with the bride's brain
Luo Qingzhou was lying on the bed lost in thought when the door was suddenly pushed open.
An old maid walked in as if no one was around, came to the bedside, and said directly: "Sir, lift your buttocks. I want to take out this white cloth and show it to Madam."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then quickly wrapped himself in the quilt, raised his buttocks, and helped pull out the white cloth with a red face.
The old maid took the white cloth, glanced at the bloodstains on it, and said seriously: "Sir, it's time to get up. You have to go with the young lady to serve tea to the master and the mistress later."
After saying that, he rolled up the white cloth and left the room.
After the door is closed.
Luo Qingzhou quickly found clothes to put on and got out of bed.
There is actually such a rule that the white cloth stained with virgin blood should be shown to the lady.
How awkward it would be when he goes to serve tea later.
"Sir, are you up yet?"
Xiaodie's voice sounded outside.
Luo Qingzhou quickly put on his shoes and socks and replied, "I'm up."
Xiaodie pushed open the door and brought in some hot water. She shyly glanced at the bed, put the basin down and said, "Sir, wash your face."
Luo Qingzhou went over to wash his face, glanced at her and asked, "Have you seen the bride?"
Xiaodie shook her head: "No, I slept in the small courtyard next door last night. When I woke up in the morning, I hurried over and only saw Sister Bailing cutting flowers outside."
Luo Qingzhou wiped his face with a towel and asked, "Where's Bailing?"
Xiaodie said, "Sister Bailing just left for something, and asked me to wait outside to help you get up. I heard that you have to serve tea to the master and the mistress later."
Luo Qingzhou washed his face, brushed his teeth, and left the room.
The snow in the yard melted and the sun was shining brightly.
In the flower bed next to it, a few pink flowers that were not afraid of the cold snow appeared, swaying gently in the morning breeze, adding a touch of bright color to this pale season.
Luo Qingzhou closed his eyes and sniffed the fragrance of flowers in the air, and felt that life seemed to be getting better.
"Sir, is the bride... Madam pretty?"
Xiaodie cleaned up the room, followed him out and asked in a low voice, her little face full of curiosity.
Luo Qingzhou was a little embarrassed and said seriously: "Xiao Die, you can't be too superficial. You can't judge people by appearance. No matter whether she is ugly or beautiful, since she has married me, she is my wife. I don't care whether she is good-looking or not."
Xiaodie blinked her big eyes and said, "Sir, I have no other intentions. I just want to know whether Madam is pretty or not. I haven't even seen her yet."
Luo Qingzhou sighed inwardly: I am just like you, I haven’t seen it yet.
But he didn't have the nerve to say it out loud.
After all, we had our wedding night last night.
How embarrassing it would be if I told this little girl that he didn't even see the bride's face last night and was directly pressed on the bed by her.
"You'll see for yourself later."
Luo Qingzhou pretended to be mysterious and walked out of the courtyard.
In fact, I was more anxious and curious than her.
Where did the bride go so early in the morning
I'll have to serve tea later.
Then he also had to make good use of his time to study and practice.
After walking into the garden for a while, I came to the "Listening to the Rain on a Moonlit Night" archway.
Walked in casually.
Willows hang over the lakeside, flowers are in full bloom, and the temperature is pleasant.
The master and servant were walking by the lake and talking.
While Luo Qingzhou was thinking about something, he suddenly saw a small boat appearing hazily in the deep lotus pond not far away.
There were two graceful figures standing on the boat, with their sleeves fluttering and their long black hair dancing in the morning mist, like fairies.
Another person was rowing at the stern.
The lake ripples and sparkles in the sunlight.
The green leaves and red lotus roots are so beautiful.
The boat slowly emerged from the lotus bushes and the mist gradually receded.
The two silhouettes on the bow became clearer and clearer.
Luo Qingzhou was afraid of offending the nobles in the mansion and was about to leave, but after just one look at the figure at the bow of the ship, he could no longer move.
The lake is shimmering and the water is clear.
The girl standing at the bow was dressed in white, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, her black hair was like a waterfall, and her figure was graceful. Against the backdrop of the morning mist, green water and green lotus, she was as beautiful as a painting and as ethereal as a fairy!
That absolutely beautiful face bathed in the orange morning sun is like a lotus in clear water, free from dust and breathtakingly beautiful!
How could this be a mortal woman? She is clearly a fairy from heaven who has fallen into the mortal world!
Luo Qingzhou opened his eyes wide, stood on the shore, staring blankly, motionless.
Xiaodie, who was standing by, was also stunned by the picturesque scene in the lake.
The boat did not come here.
In the curling mist, it slowly drove away in another direction.
"Uncle, does it look good?"
At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly sounded in Luo Qingzhou's ears.
Luo Qingzhou's heart trembled, and then he came to his senses.
Bailing stood beside him with a smile, following his gaze to the small boat in the lake and the fairy-like beautiful girl on the boat.
Luo Qingzhou was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly a bold guess came to his mind.
Because of this guess, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his breathing became rapid, and his body trembled with excitement.
"Miss Bailing, the people on that boat..."
He turned to look at the pretty girl beside him, his voice trembling with excitement.
Bai Ling looked at the lake with envy on her face and said, "Isn't it beautiful? Everyone who sees it will be amazed."
Luo Qingzhou held his breath: "She is..."
Bailing retracted her gaze and said with a smile, "She is the noble lady from Yujing, my young lady's cousin, named Nangong Meijiao, from a distinguished family and noble birth. However, she has a bad temper. My son-in-law, although she is very beautiful, if you see her in the mansion in the future, you must stay away from her."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Well, he was overthinking it.
There is a feeling of loss as if I suddenly fell from the sky to the ground...
Bai Ling looked towards the lake again and said, "Son-in-law, did you see the person standing behind her?"
Luo Qingzhou calmed his mind and looked again.
Behind the beautiful girl stood a girl in a light green dress.
The girl was holding a sword in her arms. She had a slender figure, pretty face, and a cold temperament. She was looking over here with cold eyes.
Luo Qingzhou's eyes met hers, and he suddenly felt a cold murderous aura coming towards him.
Bai Ling introduced, "Her name is Xia Chan, she is the maid of the young lady, or the bodyguard. She has never practiced martial arts, but she is born with extremely high swordsmanship. She can kill people with one sword and seal their throats with one sword. The sword in her arms has a great origin. Even a martial artist with a copper head and iron arms can't survive a single move under her sword. My son-in-law, you must be careful. If you see her in the future, you must take a detour. If you really can't avoid her, you must bow your head and admit your defeat. Don't look her in the eye, let alone provoke her. Otherwise, your life will be in danger."
When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck and quickly looked away.
Bai Ling looked at him with a smile and said, "Sir, is she beautiful?"
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to look around anymore, so he could only look at her and said, "Yeah."
But the most beautiful one is naturally the angel-like girl in white standing at the bow.
The girl was so beautiful in both appearance and temperament that she didn't look like an ordinary person.
He had never imagined that there was such an extremely beautiful and breathtaking person in this world.
This world is indeed wonderful.
"So, sir, who do you think is prettier, me or that girl named Xia Chan?"
Bailing suddenly asked with a smile.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, and said truthfully: "They are both very beautiful, just with different styles."
Bai Ling blinked and smiled, "Son-in-law, you have to choose one."
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll choose you. She looks too cold and murderous, so you're better."
Bai Ling chuckled and said happily, "My son-in-law is so sweet. It's worth it that I waited outside the door all night last night."
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched: "Last night?"
Bai Ling smiled and said, "Yes, I was afraid that since it was the first time for the son-in-law and the young lady, they wouldn't be able to have their wedding night, so I stayed outside and watched all night."
Luo Qingzhou opened his mouth, and his cheeks suddenly became hot: "Then last night... you..."
Bai Ling said with a smile, "Don't be embarrassed, sir. I am the young lady's maid. In fact, according to the rules, I have to go into the room and guard by the bed. Granny Xu has taught me a lot. She urged me for a long time last night and asked me to go in and watch by the bed, fearing that sir and young lady would get hurt in the bridal chamber."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Oh my god, this rule is so perverted!
Do newlyweds need someone to watch over them in their bridal chamber and give them guidance at any time
"But it seems that Granny Xu is worrying too much. Son-in-law knows everything. He must have been to many places of entertainment before, right?"
Bailing said with a half-smile.
Luo Qingzhou's heart suddenly trembled, and he immediately denied: "I have never been to that kind of place."
Even if he had been there, he would never admit it.
As the girl spoke, she began to test him. Could it be that she came here on the orders of her mistress, or even that lady
Xiaodie also quickly stood by to testify for him: "Sister Bailing, my young master studies at home every day and has never been to such a place. I swear."
Bai Ling's eyes flashed, and without saying anything more, she smiled and said, "Son-in-law, let's go. We still have to serve tea to the master and his wife."
The master and servant followed her and left the lake.
Luo Qingzhou looked back at the lake not far away.
The small boat and the people on it had gone far away and gradually became blurred in the morning mist.
Vague and dreamy.
