Nearing midnight.
The lights go down and the excitement fades away.
The noble ladies in the attic said goodbye and left with their maids and servants.
Several of the women had wooden faces and did not say hello to others. They left with depressed looks like defeated roosters.
Come with excitement and leave with disappointment.
He originally wanted to use the excuse of being a son-in-law to dampen Song Tizi's prestige, but he didn't expect that he would be counterattacked by him instead.
Depressed to the point of vomiting blood!
"Qingwan, it's all your fault. Why are you here to join in the fun? Isn't it good to chat with Weimo in the house?"
"That's right. Your aunt and I finally got the chance to dampen her spirit, but you ruined it all."
After leaving the house, several people started to argue in the carriage.
Su Qingwan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Aunt, Aunt Zhang, you and Aunt Song have been friends for so many years, why do you have to be so mean to each other all day long?"
Her aunt rolled her eyes at her and said, "You came too late. Didn't you see how arrogant your Aunt Song was? She pointed at your aunt's face and said that your aunt had wrinkles and bad skin..."
The woman opposite said angrily, "She also laughed at your Aunt Zhang for having sagging breasts after giving birth, and even stood up to show me her big breasts. This is too much!"
Su Qingwan's mouth twitched, and she didn't dare to speak anymore. She looked down at the two pieces of rice paper in her hands. The image of the tall figure reflected on the window and the beautiful face she saw when she turned around at the door appeared in her mind. Her expression was complicated, and she murmured in a low voice: "What a pity..."
"Qingwan, did you really see these two poems with your own eyes? Were they written by the boy who married into the family?"
My aunt suddenly asked.
Su Qingwan nodded, her heart in turmoil, but she didn't say anything.
"Hey, if it's true, Song Ruyue and the Qin family have really found a treasure. With that kid's talent, it's probably not just as simple as passing the imperial examination in the future. He may even pass the imperial examination and be one of the top three candidates."
"Oh, the Qin family is a hereditary noble family, and now they are in decline. If they can be revived by a son-in-law, then our Mo City will be in for a lot of fun."
"Yes, the most exciting thing at that time will probably be those guys in Chengguo Mansion who look down on others. They will probably regret it very much."
"but… "
The two ladies suddenly lowered their voices.
"Do you think the eldest daughter of the Qin family is really a fool? Since she came back, she has never seen outsiders. She must have been stimulated by something outside. That boy is talented and has great ambitions. Can he be balanced?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Think about it, Ruyue is quite pitiful. One daughter was abducted for so many years, and the other daughter has been suffering from illness since childhood. It is said that she doesn't have much time left. Sigh..."
"No more, no more. Qingwan, don't spread what happened tonight. That kid is probably hiding his talents in the Qin family. If you spread his fame, Chengguo Mansion will probably do something weird again."
"Aunt, I know. I have just explained it to Aunt Chen and the others. Please tell them tomorrow."
"It's okay. People may not take it seriously if the news gets out. After all, he is just a son-in-law who has never been prominent. Besides, we are now in Da Yan Chong Wu, so Cheng Guo Mansion may not care."
The few of them talked along the way, gradually walking away in the dark streets.
In the Qin Mansion.
The maids and servants were busy picking up lanterns and other garbage scattered on the ground.
After Song Ruyue sent the guests away, she immediately hurried to her second daughter, surrounded by a group of maids and old women.
When they were almost there, Mei'er, the personal maid, couldn't help but ask, "Madam, should I go and tell my son-in-law?"
Song Ruyue was worried about her daughter's condition. She was stunned for a moment when she heard this: "What did you say?"
Mei'er looked at her carefully and said, "When Madam was in the attic just now, she asked me to tell my son-in-law that from tomorrow on, he should go to Madam's garden to plant flowers..."
Song Ruyue's eyebrows twitched, she rolled her eyes, glared at him and said, "You talk too much, I'll cut off your tongue!"
Mei'er hurriedly bowed her head to admit her mistake and dared not mention it again.
Song Ruyue's expression changed for a while, and then she snorted coldly, "Go and tell him to study hard in the house, so that he can take the imperial examination and win honor for the Qin family. If he fails, he will be in trouble! Humph!"
"Yes, I will go right away."
Mei'er took the order and left in a hurry.
After she walked away, Song Ruyue was secretly proud in her heart: That brat really has some skills. It seems that my Qin family has really found a treasure. I just hope that this treasure will not run away again. I have to help Jianjia keep a close eye on him...
In the house, lights flickered.
Luo Qingzhou was in high spirits, still sitting at the desk reading a book.
Xiaodie quietly opened the door and looked at him several times, but did not dare to make a sound to disturb him, and then quietly retreated.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Luo Qingzhou frowned. Who was coming again? Was it the mother-in-law who was coming to teach him a lesson overnight
Xiaodie hurriedly ran to open the door.
Mei'er was standing outside the door. After she opened the door, she rushed into the courtyard. She looked at the light in the window and said, "Xiaodie, is the son-in-law still awake? Madam asked me to bring him a few words."
Xiaodie didn't dare to stop him and quickly followed him in.
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou stood up, opened the window and looked outside.
When Mei'er saw him, she stopped and said, "Son-in-law, Madam told me to tell you that you should study hard at home in the future so that you can take the imperial examination and gain some honor for our Qin family. If you fail, Madam will make you pay! Humph!"
I don’t know if she uttered the last “hum” just to add momentum to her words or if she did it specifically to bring out the “madam” in her voice.
Luo Qingzhou: "That's it?"
Mei'er nodded, turned around and prepared to leave. After hesitating for a moment, she turned back and smiled sweetly, "Sir, the Madam is very proud tonight. It's all thanks to you."
After saying that, he smiled at Xiaodie beside him and left in a hurry.
Luo Qingzhou closed the window and continued reading.
the next day.
Listening to the rain in the garden on a moonlit night.
In the secluded bamboo forest in the northwest corner, the sound of wind and thunder could be heard again.
Although he was very interested in matters of the soul, Luo Qingzhou still had no clue until now, so there was no need to waste any more time. It was more important to seize the time to practice and enhance his physical strength.
Since the inky black liquid can increase mental strength, he just needs to take it on time.
Wait until your mental strength grows to a certain level, and then see how it reacts.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
He threw one punch after another, from slow to fast, with increasing force, louder sound, and more power.
Dead leaves were flying all around and green bamboos were swaying and rustling.
Sweat soon broke out on his naked upper body, and his once loose skin and muscles had become tight and firm. Every time he threw a punch, his skin and flesh trembled, as if bursting out with infinite power.
"boom!"
He punched the big tree next to him.
The thick tree trunk, where the bark was no longer there, suddenly cracked and sank with a sound of "click". At the same time, the white wood inside turned charred black in an instant.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly turned around again, punched backwards, and sent out a heat wave through the air. With a "boom", it was like a thunder explosion.
The green bamboo in front of us rustled and shook off the bamboo leaves.
I didn't go back for lunch.
For a whole day, he practiced the Thunder Fist in the bamboo forest, sweating profusely. The more he practiced, the more energetic he became, and the more powerful his practice became, as if there was really a faint sound of thunder coming out of his fist.
Fortunately, this place is far from the gate and deep in the bamboo forest, so few people come to the lake during the day.
When you devote yourself to cultivation, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was already a month since the wedding and I could go out of the city to worship my mother.
The eight or nine days of hard training made his Thunder Fist more and more proficient and powerful.
At the same time, he felt his skin and flesh becoming tougher.
Under the membrane, the muscles are hot, occasionally extremely sore, and keep twitching, absorbing energy from the whole body on their own. It is obviously time to train the muscles.
With the help of the inky liquid, his mental strength has now increased by two points and has reached 13.
The whole person's physical and mental condition has undergone a qualitative leap.
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
Luo Qingzhou brought Xiaodie to a corner of the lake to take a bath.
He took out a stone and asked Xiaodie to look at it, then raised his fist and smashed the stone in his hand.
"Bang!"
The bare fist slammed hard on the hard stone.
Xiaodie screamed in fright.
“Crack!”
The fist was intact, but the rock broke into two pieces.
Luo Qingzhou threw away the stone, stroked his fist that was as tough as copper, and was a little proud: "Xiaodie, is the young master hard?"
The little girl opened her eyes wide and nodded repeatedly with admiration and worship: "Hard! Master is so hard!"
The two men were naked, standing face to face in the misty lake.
Luo Qingzhou stroked his fist and said confidently: "Wait, there will be something harder! When the time comes, let alone this small stone, even if it is iron, you can smash it to pieces!"
The little girl's face was red from the heat, her clear and innocent eyes were full of sparkling stars, she looked at him infatuatedly and said: "Master, you are so great... This servant... This servant wants to..."
"Accompany me out of town tomorrow to visit my mother's grave."
Luo Qingzhou was scrubbing his body and thinking about tomorrow's affairs.
"oh… "
The little girl said "Oh" and came back to her senses.
After a while, she suddenly said, "Sir, I have to go and pay my respects to the young lady later, you... you can ask Sister Bailing..."
"What do you want to ask?"
"Last time...Last time Sister Bailing said that the young lady would reward you once, but it hasn't...it hasn't happened yet."
"… "
Luo Qingzhou was scrubbing his body and fell into deep thought.
Xiaodie suddenly approached him, and put her hot little face on his chest, and whispered shyly: "If you don't dare, I will ask for you... I can also help you..."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and looked at her snow-white shoulders and blushing face in the moonlight. His heart warmed and he hugged her.
