"Pah, pah..."
The autumn rain is lingering and the leaves are falling.
Luo Qingzhou walked awkwardly in the dark and deserted maple leaf alley, stepping on the rain, the words of Princess Nangong before her parting were still echoing in his ears.
"Chu Feiyang, you have to be responsible for me."
"From now on, you must come whenever I call and let me ravage you, otherwise..."
"I'll go find him."
"You don't want your secret to be exposed by this princess, do you?"
"You don't want me to disturb that guy's newlywed life, do you?"
"Don't worry, this county chief only wants Chu Feiyang, not anyone else..."
Luo Qingzhou returned home with a heavy heart.
He first went to the Exiled Immortal Residence to take a simple shower, changed into a clean Confucian robe, and then went to the Meixiang Garden.
The lighting in the study is warm.
Miss Qin II was wearing a plain white dress. She was sitting weakly in front of the desk, writing quietly. When she saw him come back, she quickly told Zhu'er to go to the kitchen to heat up the food.
Luo Qingzhou walked to the door of the study. Qiu'er knelt on the ground and helped him take off his shoes. She said softly, "Son-in-law, Xiaodie went to see the lady. It seems that it was because of the opening of the clothing store."
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou nodded and entered the room.
After closing the door, he told Miss Qin Er everything that happened tonight, word for word.
Qin Weimo was silent for a while after listening to him, then looked at him and said, "Brother Qingzhou, tell Weimo the truth, do you like her?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I only like you."
Qin Weimo asked, "Where's Xia Chan?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Add Xia Chan."
"What about Xiaodie?"
"Plus Xiaodie..."
"It seems that Qiu'er suffered in vain last night."
"Then... add Qiu'er."
"Oh, then I'll go find Bai Ling."
Luo Qingzhou pulled her back, his face full of embarrassment, and said, "Wei Mo, it's unlikely that the princess and I will be together."
Qin Weimo said softly: "Brother Qingzhou, don't worry about whether it is possible or not. Weimo just wants to know, does Brother Qingzhou like her?"
Luo Qingzhou paused, and couldn't help but think of the scene just now on the West Lake, when the two of them were lying side by side on a small boat, she hugged him, and they were silently soaked in the rain together...
Miss Qin Er did not disturb him anymore. She left the room and went to the kitchen.
Luo Qingzhou had dinner and took a medicinal bath. Then, holding an oil-paper umbrella and supporting Miss Qin Er, they went to Lingchan Moon Palace together.
As they walked along the road, Miss Qin II said softly, "Brother Qingzhou, Sister Meijiao knows that reality is impossible, so she wants to live in her own world. You should fulfill her wish first."
"Help her?"
Luo Qingzhou frowned upon hearing this and said, "Second Miss, you may not know how much she has gone too far. She might..."
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "Brother Qingzhou doesn't like it?"
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but grumble, "She's too rude and overbearing. She wants to destroy me at any time. I'm scared."
Second Miss Qin chuckled: "Brother Qingzhou is also afraid? In this case, I should really find a way to get Sister Meijiao to join us. That way, there will be someone to control Brother Qingzhou in the future."
Luo Qingzhou held her slender and soft waist and said, "Second Miss can control me."
Miss Qin sighed softly: "Wei Mo can't do that. Wei Mo is just a humble, weak, sickly and weak woman. Even if she wants to be rude and overbearing to Brother Qingzhou, she can't do that."
Luo Qingzhou's heart suddenly ached, and he hugged her tightly, saying, "I just like the gentleness of the Second Miss, and I don't like those rude and overbearing women."
"The book says that if you always eat the same dish, you'll get tired of it. Changing the taste occasionally will make it more delicious."
"But I will never get tired of eating this dish of Second Miss."
"Then why didn't Brother Qingzhou eat last night? He would rather eat Qiu'er than others, hehe."
"Second Miss, don't mention last night..."
"Is Brother Qingzhou shy? But Brother Qingzhou was obviously very happy last night. At the beginning, he clearly said no with all his heart, but in the end, he bullied Qiu'er and others at the same time, hehe."
"Second Miss, look at the sky, why is there no moon tonight?"
"hehe."
Not long.
The two came to Lingchan Moon Palace.
"By the way, Brother Qingzhou, I read the poem Jian Jia you wrote for me last time. It's very well written, with a beautiful artistic conception."
"… "
“Reeds are thick and lush, white dew turns to frost. The so-called sweetheart is on the other side of the water… Reeds are thick and lush, white dew has not yet dried. The so-called sweetheart is on the edge of the water…”
"Second Miss, please don't misunderstand me, I..."
"I didn't misunderstand. Brother Qingzhou, didn't you write this specifically for my sister? Her name is Jianjia, and there are a lot of Jianjia in the sentence. Poor and humble Xiao Weimo doesn't even have this kind of treatment, ah..."
"Second Miss, that's not what the poem means."
"What do you mean?"
"That's it... that's it... Anyway, that's not what I meant."
"Oh, it doesn't matter if that's what you mean. Anyway, when Brother Qingzhou wrote this poem, he hadn't married Weimo yet. Weimo has no right to control who Brother Qingzhou writes love poems to."
"Second Miss, this is not a love poem, I swear..."
As the two were talking, the gate of the courtyard creaked open.
Bailing poked her head out, took a look at the two of them, immediately opened the door, and said happily: "Second Miss, son-in-law, come in quickly, the young lady is waiting."
The two stopped their quarrel and went into the courtyard.
Bai Ling asked, "Sir, have you thought of a story to tell Miss?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "A Chinese Odyssey, right?"
Bai Ling asked curiously, "What is the story of A Chinese Odyssey?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Gods, demons, monsters, and the love story between Zhizunbao and Fairy Zixia."
Bai Ling asked: "Is it a tragedy or a comedy?"
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Comedy appearance, tragic soul."
Bai Ling said: "Sir, is this a comedy or a tragedy?"
Luo Qingzhou shrugged and said, "I don't know either. Some people hear it as a comedy, while others hear it as a tragedy. Everyone feels differently."
Bai Ling was confused: "It feels so profound."
Luo Qingzhou said: "For fools, every story is profound."
Bailing immediately put her hands on her waist and said angrily, "Sir, I'm not stupid."
Then she pouted and complained, "Second Miss, my uncle scolded me."
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "Then you beat him up, and I'll help you watch. He won't dare to fight back."
Bai Ling's eyes lit up, and she asked eagerly, "Really?"
Miss Qin smiled and nodded.
Bailing was about to move closer when Luo Qingzhou looked at her coldly.
"Second Miss, my uncle glared at me so fiercely."
"Just glare at him too. Your eyes are bigger than his."
"Woo woo, I don't dare, I'm not as fierce as him."
At this moment, Xia Chan walked out of the house. After seeing Miss Qin Er, she immediately turned around and went back into the house.
"Xia Chan."
Miss Qin Er hurriedly called her over, went over and held her hand, and said softly, "Let's go and listen to Master's story together, okay?"
Xia Chan lowered her head and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou said: "Chanchan, let's go, my uncle's story this time is very funny, it will definitely make you laugh."
Xia Chan turned her head and looked at him, her face tense, indicating that she didn't believe it.
"Let's go."
Luo Qingzhou took the lead and walked towards the back garden.
Although it was still raining outside, Miss Qin was still sitting alone in the pavilion in the back garden, quietly listening to the rain and reading a book.
There are lanterns hanging in the pavilion, and their snow-white color is particularly eye-catching on the rainy autumn night.
Luo Qingzhou stopped under the eaves with an umbrella, looked around for a few seconds, and after Miss Qin Er came over, he supported Miss Qin Er and walked over together.
Miss Qin Er was holding Xia Chan's hand, while Bailing followed behind.
"elder sister."
"Miss."
The two entered the pavilion and greeted each other.
Luo Qingzhou was wondering whether he should also call her sister like the second young lady, but after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't say that. After all, she was his ex-wife, and it would be too embarrassing.
Miss Qin raised her head, glanced at the two of them, and nodded slightly.
Miss Qin Er sat down next to her and said softly, "Brother Qingzhou is telling a story about Journey to the West tonight, and I'm listening along. Brother Qingzhou said it's very funny."
When Miss Qin heard the name, she was slightly stunned and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou started talking only after he saw that everyone had quieted down.
Let’s start with a group of bandits.
When talking about the appearance of Chun Sanshi Niang, Bai Ling said: "It must be a monster, otherwise she wouldn't dare to fall into the trap and come to the lair of a group of bandits."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and continued talking.
When they talked about Chun Sanshi Niang turning into a spider spirit, Bailing clapped his hands and said proudly, "It is indeed a monster. I guessed right."
"Hahahahahaha... What a silly Supreme Treasure."
“Hahahahaha… Patriarch Bodhi is so stupid.”
"Hahahahahahaha, the second in command is even dumber than me, hahahaha..."
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but look at her again and continued talking.
After a while, Bailing bent over with laughter, covered her stomach, and sat on the ground, giggling non-stop and looking like she couldn't breathe.
Among the others, only Miss Qin Er had a smile on her face.
Miss Qin still had a cold expression on her face, and there seemed to be no change in her emotions.
Xia Chan, on the other hand, still had a tense face and a look of confusion in her eyes, as if she didn't understand this nonsensical story.
When Luo Qingzhou talked about the appearance of Fairy Zixia, Bailing Fang stopped laughing and stood up.
Soon, Zhizunbao arrived at the place where Bull Demon King got married.
When Luo Qingzhou talked about how Zhizunbao started to deceive Fairy Zixia for the Moonlight Box, Bailing immediately said indignantly: "Scumbag!"
"I once had a true love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I regretted it when I lost it. This is the most painful thing in the world. If God can give me another chance, I will say three words to that girl: I love you. If I have to put a time limit on this love, I hope it is..."
When Luo Qingzhou said this, Bailing wiped her tears and said, "What a scumbag, he's so good at flirting, woo woo..."
Miss Qin Er's gaze turned to the girl next to her who was still as cold as snow.
At this moment, her eyes were looking at him.
When Luo Qingzhou sang this song in a vivid way imitating Tang Monk, Bailing immediately fell to the ground laughing, rolling around, almost out of breath.
Xia Chan frowned, her face still tense, and she couldn't understand anymore.
When Luo Qingzhou talked about how Tang Monk was tied up and how he talked too much and made the little demon commit suicide, Bailing laughed again and fell to the ground.
But soon, the scene came where Fairy Zixia was killed.
Bailing's expression suddenly changed.
When Zhizunbao was wearing the tight hoop on his head, with Fairy Zixia on one side and Monk Tang on the other, Bailing's eyes began to fill with tears.
"On one side is his love, on the other side is becoming an immortal or a Buddha... Zhizunbao finally chose to let go of Fairy Zixia... In fact, from the moment he put on the tight hoop, he had already made his choice..."
"Love and freedom, becoming a Buddha and immortality, he imprisoned himself and chose the latter..."
When Luo Qingzhou said this, no one noticed that Miss Qin's body trembled slightly.
Luo Qingzhou didn't know what he suddenly thought of at this moment, and sighed a few more times: "What's the meaning of immortality in exchange for love and freedom? He abandoned Zixia, in fact, he abandoned himself. He has become another person, he is no longer himself... What he left behind is just an empty shell..."
"As the sun sets, the warrior and Zixia stand on the city wall, hugging each other tightly. In fact, that is just a false illusion projected by the regret and guilt left in his heart..."
"He wanted to comfort himself with this, but he didn't realize that he was as pitiful and ridiculous as a dog..."
Luo Qingzhou finished speaking.
Bai Ling cried loudly and couldn't stop her tears.
Miss Qin Er frowned slightly and looked at the person next to her with a puzzled look.
Miss Qin drooped her eyelashes slightly, looking dazed, as if she was suddenly immersed in a certain world, the scenery in her eyes was ever-changing...
