the next day.
It was just daybreak when there was a knock on the door.
Xiaodie quickly put on her clothes and went to open the door.
Mei'er came in and said, "Hurry up and call the son-in-law to get up. The lady is urging him. Miss Meijiao and Miss Xueyi have already come and are waiting."
Xiaodie was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is Miss Snowy?"
Then, without waiting for her to answer, he hurried back into the house and shouted, "Master, get up quickly..."
Luo Qingzhou had already gotten up when he heard the knock on the door.
With the help of the little maid, he quickly put on his clothes.
After a quick wash, I went out.
As soon as I went out, I saw Miss Qin walking towards me from the other side with Bailing and Xia Chan.
When Bai Ling saw him, she had a face full of resentment, and subconsciously rubbed her chest, muttering: "Stinky son-in-law, bad son-in-law, lecherous son-in-law..."
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and said, "Miss."
Qin Jianjia glanced at him and nodded slightly, her expression still cold.
Luo Qingzhou followed her to the Meixiang Garden.
At this moment, a burst of young girl's laughter was heard in the Meixiang Garden, but it was not from Miss Qin Er.
Luo Qingzhou followed Miss Qin into the courtyard.
The laughter suddenly stopped.
Nangong Xueyi looked at Miss Qin who came in. The smile on her face gradually turned into a look of surprise. Her eyes gradually widened, and her whole body seemed to be suddenly frozen, standing there motionless.
"Sister Xueyi, this is my sister."
Miss Qin Er introduced with a smile, and then said: "Sister, this is the sister Xue Yi I told you about."
Qin Jianjia nodded slightly, her expression still cold.
Nangong Xueyi came back to her senses, still staring at the flawless face in front of her in amazement, and said quickly: "Jianjia, I heard Weimo talk about you a long time ago. After seeing you today, I know that Weimo was not exaggerating at all. You are so beautiful, more beautiful than any girl I have ever seen, like a fairy."
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "Sister Xue Yi, you are also very beautiful."
Nangong Xueyi smiled and saw that the girl in front of her was indeed cold and unwilling to talk. She thought to herself that it was a pity, thinking that something terrible must have happened to her during those years when she was missing.
Her eyes turned to the young man behind her.
He was dressed in a loose Confucian robe, had a tall figure and a handsome appearance. He was as gentle as jade in the morning sun and had an outstanding temperament. He looked quite a match for the beautiful girl in front of him.
"Mr. Luo, we meet again."
She smiled, her tone gentle and her demeanor gentle.
"Xue Yi, why are you coming here alone?"
Nangong Meijiao suddenly walked in from the door, looked at someone with a cold face, walked up to her and said, "Let's go."
Nangong Xueyi said helplessly: "Wei Mo, you see, she never calls me sister, and she is very mean to me. I want to come to see you today, but it is the result of begging her all night last night."
Nangong Meijiao exposed her coldly: "It was you who threatened me, saying that you would tell Daddy about my hiding of lime."
Qin Weimo chuckled, fearing that the two would quarrel, and said, "Two sisters, it's getting late, let's go."
The group left the courtyard.
Luo Qingzhou followed silently at the back, walking with Bailing and Xia Chan.
Bai Ling glared at him again, raised her fist and gritted her teeth, "Sir, I will pay you back double for yesterday's humiliation!"
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything, but just stretched out his fingers and pinched her waist.
Bai Ling hurriedly hugged Xia Chan beside her, dodging left and right, shouting: "Chan Chan, save me..."
Xia Chan ignored them.
Bai Ling had no choice but to run over again, hugged Miss Qin's arm, and complained aggrievedly: "Miss, my son-in-law bullied me."
Miss Qin turned her head and took a look.
Luo Qingzhou immediately lowered his head and walked without looking around.
When Miss Qin withdrew her gaze, Luo Qingzhou looked at her threateningly again.
Bailing pouted and didn't dare to get close to him.
A group of people came to the hall.
Qin Wenzhen was talking to Song Ruyue, and Qin Chuan was listening on the side.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Qin Wenzheng said, "Let's split up into two groups. Chuan'er, Zhou Tong and the others, I will go to Yunwu Mountain Range to look for the Nine-Leaf Grass, and you will go to Qingyun Temple in the south of the city, so that you don't waste time. Qingyun Temple is a place for people to practice, and it's not appropriate for too many of us to go there. With Meijiao and Xiachan here, your safety should not be a problem."
Nangong Meijiao nodded and said, "There are also many people who come to Qingyun Temple to burn incense. It is an orthodox Taoist place, so there won't be any danger there."
"Okay, that's decided then."
Qin Wenzheng glanced at them and warned them, "If it really doesn't work, don't force it. When we come back, we can think of a solution together. At most, we can go a few more times and ask a few more times. Don't be reckless and offend them."
Qin Weimo said softly: "Dad, second brother, you also have to be careful."
Qin Wenzheng nodded and said, "Let's go, it's getting late."
The group went out.
The carriage was already waiting outside.
Qin Wenzhen, Qin Chuan, Zhou Tong and others got on the carriage and left first.
The Yunwu Mountains are far away from here, and the roads inside are rugged. They must leave the city as soon as possible and change to horses, otherwise it will be difficult to get back tonight.
Nangong Meijiao and her sister helped Miss Qin Er into their carriage.
Song Ruyue also followed.
Miss Qin took Bailing and Xia Chan and walked towards the carriage behind.
Qin Weimo stuck his head out of the car window and was about to call Luo Qingzhou when Nangong Xueyi's excited voice suddenly came from the car: "Weimo, call your brother-in-law up quickly. I want to listen to his story."
Qin Weimo suddenly said to the outside: "Brother-in-law, go talk to my sister."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, walked to the carriage at the back, and sat with Miss Qin and the others.
"Wei Mo, what are you doing? Ask your brother-in-law to come up."
Nangong Xueyi said anxiously.
Nangong Meijiao, who was sitting next to her, frowned and looked at her coldly.
Qin Weimo turned around and said, "Sister Xueyi, of course my brother-in-law has to accompany my sister, how could he come to accompany us?"
Song Ruyue, who was sitting next to her, had a gleam in her eyes. She keenly sensed something, so she didn't correct her address.
Nangong Xueyi pouted and said, "The carriage is so big, you can let Jianjia come and sit with us."
Qin Weimo said: "My sister likes quietness."
Nangong Xueyi's face was immediately filled with disappointment, and she said, "I came out here just to talk to your brother-in-law about The Story of the Stone."
Then his eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up and said, "Then I'll sit in the back."
Nangong Meijiao, who was sitting next to her, grabbed her wrist, exerted a little force, and pulled her down to sit down again, saying in a cold voice: "You are not allowed to go!"
Nangong Xueyi looked at her in astonishment and said, "Meijiao, what are you doing? Why don't you let me go?"
Nangong Meijiao said coldly: "He is a married man. As the princess of Nangong Junwang Mansion, can you pay attention to your image?"
It turned out that neither she nor Miss Qin II had told her about Luo Qingzhou's divorce from Miss Qin.
I will never tell her now.
Nangong Xueyi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "We are family, there's no need to be so particular, right? I just want to hear a story, Jianjia shouldn't mind, right?"
Nangong Meijiao said coldly: "When you have a husband in the future, how do you feel when Wei Mo talks and laughs with your husband in front of you?"
Nangong Xueyi was stunned when she heard this, then thought about it and said, "I don't seem to feel anything. If Weimo likes my husband, she can marry in. Isn't it normal for good sisters to share a husband? Meijiao, you can join too."
Nangong Meijiao: "..."
"Walk!"
Nangong Meijiao ignored her, still holding her wrist tightly, and shouted coldly to the outside.
"drive!"
The carriage began to move.
Nangong Xueyi sighed and said nothing more.
Song Ruyue stared at her for a while, and suddenly said with a smile on her face: "Xueyi, you are a princess, you can't say such things. There can only be one wife. If Meijiao also marries your husband, she will have to be a concubine. How can this be possible?"
Nangong Xueyi smiled and said, "Aunt, I was just joking. But if that kind of thing really happens, it doesn't matter. Meijiao will be the legal wife, and it doesn't matter if I'm the concubine. As long as he's the man I like and I can be with him, it doesn't matter to me whether he's the wife or the concubine."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several people in the car changed.
There was silence in the carriage behind.
Luo Qingzhou was resting with his eyes closed.
Miss Qin sat opposite, and Bailing and Xia Chan sat with her.
At this moment, the three of them were looking at him.
It was not convenient to read in the carriage, and Luo Qingzhou felt embarrassed being stared at, so he could only close his eyes.
When the carriage left the city and began to run on the official road, Bailing suddenly said, "Sir, I want to hear you recite poetry."
Luo Qingzhou immediately opened his eyes and said, "What poem do you want to hear? Just tell me."
We can just chat about it someday, at least it won't be so awkward. There are all kinds of poems and songs available.
Bai Ling laughed and said, "I want to listen to the poem "Jiang Jia" that you wrote for the young lady."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Chanchan wants to listen too. Right, Chanchan?"
Bailing suddenly said again.
Xia Chan leaned back, holding the sword in her arms, and responded with a "Yeah."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at Miss Qin who was standing opposite him. Seeing that she was also looking at him, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, do you want to listen?"
Qin Jianjia looked at him coldly. Just as she was about to say "whatever" indifferently, her heart suddenly tightened. She then closed her eyes and said nothing more.
Luo Qingzhou shrugged, looked at Bailing, and said, "The young lady doesn't want to listen."
Bailing said: "But Chanchan and I want to listen."
Luo Qingzhou said: "You can read it to Chanchan, and then let Chanchan read it to you. You can read to each other and listen to each other. Just listen together."
"Humph! My son-in-law is so stingy. He just told me to tell you whatever I want to hear."
Bailing looked unhappy.
Luo Qingzhou said nothing more.
It doesn't matter if I write this poem, but it's really inappropriate to read it in front of Miss Qin.
He thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Bai Ling, Xia Chan, let me tell you a story."
Bai Ling snorted, "What story? I don't want to hear those love stories."
Luo Qingzhou said: "The Heroic Legend of the Shooting Heroes!"
Bai Ling snorted and said, "The name sounds so ugly."
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and started telling a simplified story.
The peach blossoms are without a master, and the tobacco fields are covered with crows. A few ruined walls surround the old wells, which have always been people’s…
Half an hour later.
Bai Ling suddenly formed one hand into a claw, stretched it forward, and shouted angrily: "I will use the Nine Yin Bone Claw to catch the unfaithful Yang Kang to death!"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and continued speaking.
Another hour passed.
Bai Ling suddenly said, "Sir, Princess Huazheng is so pitiful. Just let Brother Jing marry her too. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines."
Luo Qingzhou said: "If you interrupt again, I won't talk anymore."
Bailing immediately covered her mouth and whispered, "My son-in-law is so fierce. If you have the guts, don't interrupt me when I'm talking. Humph."
Zhou Botong said: "The essence of the most superior martial arts of my Quanzhen Sect lies in the two words 'emptiness' and 'softness'. That is what is meant by 'great success is like a lack', and its use is not exhausted. Great fullness is like a rush', and its use is endless..."
When Luo Qingzhou said this, Qin Jianjia, who was sitting opposite him, narrowed her eyes slightly, and it seemed as if stars were spinning in her deep eyes.
Xia Chan clenched the sword in her hand and listened very carefully, her emotions fluctuating along with the story.
