"Ka, Ka..."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head to pick flowers.
Soon, a bouquet of flowers consisting of red, yellow, blue, white and other colors had been picked and tied together with soft branches.
Then, he passed it to Miss Qin and said respectfully, "Miss, I heard from Bailing that you are not feeling well. I wish you a speedy recovery."
Miss Qin, in her fluttering white dress, looked at him quietly for a while, then said calmly, "Thank you."
However, he did not reach out to take the flowers.
Bai Ling, who was standing by, quickly reached out to take it and said with a smile, "Son-in-law is so considerate and gentle."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, bowed and said goodbye: "Miss, I will go back first."
After saying this, he hurried away.
Bai Ling hurriedly said in a crisp voice from behind: "Son-in-law, don't be in a hurry to leave, play for a while longer."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly turned around and looked at her and said, "I'll come and play with you tomorrow night."
Bailing's pretty face changed slightly.
Luo Qingzhou returned to Meixiang Garden, greeted Qiu'er and Zhu'er, and went to Xiaodie's room first.
Xiaodie was busy cutting clothes in the room. When she saw him come in, she asked while cutting, "Sir, is there anything wrong?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Xiao Die, let me ask you something. Who usually makes the young lady's shoes?"
Xiaodie was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then looked up at him and said, "Sister Xiaotao did it herself, what's wrong?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Xiao Tao should know the size of the young lady's shoes, Xiao Die, you can go ask her tomorrow and then come back to make a pair of shoes for the young lady, okay?"
Xiaodie blinked and nodded, "Sure, but sir, why are you suddenly making shoes for the young lady?"
Luo Qingzhou explained: "I sent two rabbits over, but they bit Miss's shoes. I want to compensate her with a pair. If you can't make it well, please ask for the size for me tomorrow, and I can order it out."
When Xiaodie heard this, she quickly assured him, "Don't worry, sir. The shoes I make are definitely not worse than those sold outside."
Luo Qingzhou took out a hundred taels of silver, put it on the table, and said: "Buy the best cloth and base, make it carefully, and use a long white tube. Don't embroider anything else on it, just embroider..."
He thought about it carefully and said, "On both sides of the shoe, you can embroider a few faintly visible reeds and a small white flower. I'll draw it for you later. Inside the shoe, embroider the four small characters "Jiang Jia Cang Cang" on the left and the four small characters "Bai Lu Wei Shuang" on the right. Xiaodie, can you make it?"
Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sir, I can do it, but...do you think this is appropriate?"
Luo Qingzhou asked: "What's appropriate?"
Xiaodie glanced at the door and whispered, "Sir, it's not appropriate for you to give Miss such shoes."
Luo Qingzhou understood and said, "It's okay. I'll go to the room later and tell the second young lady."
Xiaodie was relieved and said, "Then go and paint quickly, sir. I will go to Sister Xiaotao's place later and get some materials back directly."
"good."
Luo Qingzhou left the room immediately.
Zhu'er, who was eavesdropping at the door, immediately turned around and pretended to wipe the table.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and went to the study.
Qiu'er helped him take off his shoes at the door and reminded him in a low voice: "Son-in-law, the young lady already knows what happened this morning."
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled when he heard this: "What happened this morning?"
Qiu'er bit her lip and whispered, "My uncle told me this morning to sleep in Xiaodie's room tonight, and then..."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly remembered and asked awkwardly, "Who told the Second Miss?"
Qiu'er pointed at Zhu'er who was pretending to wipe the table not far away and said, "Zhu'er heard it this morning."
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and took a look.
Zhu'er immediately turned her back and lowered her head to wipe the ground.
"fine."
Luo Qingzhou said something comforting, pushed open the door and walked in.
Qiu'er helped close the door.
Zhu'er came over and whispered, "Qiu'er, guess what I just heard? The son-in-law actually wants to make a pair of shoes for the young lady, and he also wants to embroider a love poem on it. The poem even has the young lady's name on it, called..."
Qiu'er turned and left without paying any attention to her.
In the study.
Luo Qingzhou told Miss Qin Er about sending shoes to Miss Eldest, and then said: "I wrote a poem last time, so I wanted Xiaodie to embroider the first two lines inside the shoes to show my sincerity. Xiaodie was afraid that you would misunderstand, so she didn't dare to do it, so let me tell you first."
When Miss Qin Er heard this, she smiled and said, "We are a family, there is no need for so many formalities. Brother Qingzhou, just let Xiaodie do it."
Luo Qingzhou walked to the table and sat down, saying, "That girl is actually quite afraid of you. No matter what she does here, she has to think of you first."
Miss Qin Er came over and picked up the ink block, helped him grind the ink, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingzhou, do you think it's wrong?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Of course I should, but I'm being too cautious. I'm afraid she will be too tired."
Miss Qin Er said softly: "Not everyone is as open-minded and transparent as Brother Qingzhou. We have lived under many rules since we were young, and Xiaodie is even more so, so it is definitely impossible to change in a short time."
Luo Qingzhou picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and drew a few reeds with a few strokes, then drew two small flowers. Then, he wrote "Reeds are green, white dew turns to frost" and said, "Second Miss, what do you think of this?"
Miss Qin Er looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Jianjia represents my sister, Xiaohua represents Bailing, and what about Xiachan? Brother Qingzhou, Weimo thinks that you can draw a small green leaf on top of Xiaohua. The shape of the green leaf can be like a sword. In this way, the three people from Lingchan Yue Palace can be represented."
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou turned around and looked at her and said, "Second Miss is very thoughtful, but the little flower I drew doesn't represent Bai Ling. I never thought about it in that way. Now, after Second Miss's reminder, this kind of drawing is quite good."
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "Brother Qingzhou is a man after all. No matter how smart he is, he will forget things. Bailing and Xiachan are inseparable from my sister, so of course they have to be together."
When Luo Qingzhou was about to pick up the brush to draw the green leaves, he paused after hearing the words, looked up at her and said, "Second Miss has something to say."
Miss Qin gently rubbed the ink and chuckled, "Let's take it as it is."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her for a few seconds, asked no more questions, and lowered his head to start painting seriously.
Soon, a lifelike painting of reeds, green leaves and small flowers was completed.
Luo Qingzhou picked it up, blew the ink dry, stood up and said, "I'll go get it for Xiaodie and ask her to prepare it."
Just as she was about to leave, Miss Qin Er suddenly whispered, "Brother Qingzhou, you can tell Xiaodie to let her and Qiu'er sleep with you tonight. Brother Qingzhou can just sleep with her tonight."
Luo Qingzhou paused and turned to look at her.
Miss Qin smiled gently and said, "Brother Qingzhou, you must work hard. Weimo cannot serve you for the time being, so let Qiu'er and Xiaodie take Weimo's place. Mother came again yesterday to ask if Brother Qingzhou wanted to take medicine, medicine for childbirth."
Luo Qingzhou said awkwardly: "Second Miss, you didn't help me explain?"
Miss Qin sighed softly, with a helpless expression on her face: "Brother Qingzhou, do you think mother will listen to our explanation? Few people can change the things that mother has decided."
Luo Qingzhou had a headache, so he left the room without saying anything more.
After entering Xiaodie's room and handing the painting to her, he gave her a few more instructions.
Xiaodie carefully read the painting and said, "Sir, it may take some time to embroider these things. It will probably take at least ten days to finish. After all, the clothing store is about to open, and I have other things to do."
Luo Qingzhou said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if it's late, just do it carefully."
Xiaodie said, "Don't worry, sir. I will do it very seriously and I guarantee that the young lady will like it."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the clothes on the table and said, "Xiaodie, are you going to Xiaotao's place later? When will you be back?"
Xiaodie held the needle and thread and said, "It may be very late, or I may not be back tonight. Madam gave us the blueprints and asked us to make a few clothes quickly and put them in the new store for customers to see. If the effect is good, we can make more. This maidservant and Sister Xiaotao have been very busy these days."
After hearing this, Luo Qingzhou was too embarrassed to say anything more and said, "Then you are busy, Master will leave first. Remember to rest well and don't be too tired."
Xiaodie lowered her head while sewing clothes and said, "Well, Master and Second Miss should go to bed early."
Luo Qingzhou left the room and helped her close the door.
Zhu'er turned around with a rag in her hand and continued to wipe the table.
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and went over to whisper to Qiu'er, "Xiaodie is very busy, so I won't go to her place tonight. I'll go to your room tonight."
Qiu'er whispered, "Sir, this servant will sleep with Zhu'er."
Seeing Zhu'er eavesdropping, Luo Qingzhou deliberately said, "It's okay. When Zhu'er falls asleep, I'll sneak over and sleep with her as well."
Zhu'er's face suddenly changed, and the rag in her hand almost fell to the ground in fright.
Qiu Er suppressed her laughter and nodded, "Yes, I will wait for you, Master."
Luo Qingzhou entered the room.
Zhu'er immediately ran over and said, "Qiu'er, I... I don't..."
Qiu'er said seriously, "What do you mean no? Zhu'er, don't you want to follow the young lady? In a few days, I will tell the young lady and the lady to marry you off."
Zhu'er immediately had a sad face and tugged at her sleeves pitifully, saying, "Qiu'er, don't... I don't want to get married..."
Qiu'er said, "That's it. Since you don't want to get married, you can only stay and serve your uncle. Of course, you can also switch with Mei'er and serve the lady. In this way, you don't have to serve your uncle."
When Zhu Er heard this, her face became even uglier: "No, I don't want to switch with Mei Er, Madam... she is so fierce... I am afraid..."
Qiu Er said with a straight face: "So what do you want?"
Zhu Er whimpered, "I... I serve my uncle, but... but my uncle will definitely take revenge on me, I'm afraid..."
Qiu Er suppressed her laughter and said, "Who told you to argue with your son-in-law every day? You deserve it."
After saying that, he ignored her and went to the kitchen.
Zhu'er stood there, wanting to cry but unable to.
After Luo Qingzhou took a medicinal bath, he went to bed with Miss Qin Er, who smelled delicious after taking a bath, and they talked for a while while lying on the bed.
Miss Qin Er asked, "Brother Qingzhou, are you going to go over tonight, or are you going to let Qiu'er come over?"
Luo Qingzhou was thinking about going to the bottom of the lake to practice tonight, and said, "No, I want to hold the second young lady to sleep tonight."
Miss Qin Er clung to his arms, hugged his neck, her hair scattered, and tilted her little face up, smiling, and said playfully: "But Wei Mo wants to see Brother Qingzhou being bullied by Qiu'er."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, "Didn't I bully her?"
Miss Qin Er said faintly: "In Wei Mo's eyes, Brother Qingzhou is the one who is bullied, because Brother Qingzhou belongs to Wei Mo."
Luo Qingzhou said: "My wife's words really touched me."
Miss Qin Er held his hand, placed it on the string of her bellyband, and said, "Brother Qingzhou, do you really dare to move?"
Luo Qingzhou shrank his hand: "... I don't dare."
"Coward, huh."
"Go to sleep, my lady, your health is very important."
“Hehe.”
“Snoring…Snoring…”
"Brother Qingzhou..."
“Snoring…Snoring…”
Outside the window, the moonlight is like water.
A moon-white figure suddenly flew into the clouds, facing the moonlight, and disappeared.
