It's a sunny morning.
The front yard of Lingchan Moon Palace.
Bai Ling was wearing a pink dress and was squatting among the flowers in the corner, picking fresh flowers.
There were already several red, blue, white and purple flowers in the vase in her hand.
These flowers were just picked from the flower bed at the back. There was still a thin layer of frost on their delicate petals. I don’t know what kind of flowers they were, but they were blooming so beautifully in this bitterly cold weather.
There was another small pink flower on her right ear.
The little flower is pink and tender, with dewdrops on the center, crystal clear, which matches her pink and delicate face and pink dress very well.
When Luo Qingzhou arrived at the door, he heard her humming a song. When he listened carefully, he found that the tune of the song was the tune of "Spring River Moon Night".
Then, she sang in a crisp voice: "A piece of white cloud drifts away slowly, and I am overwhelmed with sorrow on the green maple shore. Whose boat is this tonight? Where is the moonlit tower where I miss you..."
Luo Qingzhou had to admit that this girl's voice was like a lark, clear, agile, and melodious.
Listened for a while longer.
The singing inside stopped, and she actually muttered to herself, "I didn't expect that the bad son-in-law is not only good at trembling, but also can write songs. Next time, let him write another song for the young lady, and write about flowers. Who made him so philandering, humph."
"Winter! Winter! Winter!"
Luo Qingzhou raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Bai Ling immediately stood up from the flowers, looked towards the door and asked, "Who?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Your bad son-in-law."
Bailing suddenly laughed, revealing two sweet dimples on her face: "Bad son-in-law, why did you come so early? Chanchan is still sleeping."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I came to find you."
Bai Ling snorted, went over to open the door and said, "My son-in-law loves to lie. He either comes to see Chanchan or the young lady, but he won't come to see me."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the flowers in her hand and the small flowers on her ears, walked into the courtyard and said, "You guessed right, I'm here to look for the young lady. Is the young lady up?"
Bai Ling pouted and said, "In the back garden."
Luo Qingzhou turned to look at her and asked, "Are you practicing the piano?"
Bai Ling said: "I'm in a daze."
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled, and then asked, "By the way, Bailing, hasn't Miss practiced the song "Spring River Moon Night" yet?"
Bai Ling pouted her lips, fiddling with the flowers in the vase with her fingers, and said angrily, "How would I know? Go ask the young lady yourself."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around and walked in front of her.
Bai Ling was startled and immediately stepped back, covering her swollen chest and said, "Son-in-law, don't tremble!"
After a pause, she pouted and said, "Don't bully the bunny during the day! The bunny needs to sleep!"
Luo Qingzhou raised the jade bracelet in his hand and said, "This is a gift I bought for you. If you don't want it, forget it. I'll give it to Chanchan."
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up. She immediately pounced over like a kitten protecting its food, snatched the bracelet from his hand, and said with a smile, "Yes! Master, I want it! Don't give it to Chanchan! It's mine!"
Having said that, she immediately put the vase on the ground and happily put the jade bracelet on her wrist.
She has slender wrists, fair skin, and a white jade bracelet, which makes her look beautiful in the sun.
"Uncle, it's really beautiful."
Bailing's face was full of joy, her smile was as beautiful as a delicate flower, her eyes were curved like a crescent moon, her complexion was rosy and tender, she looked youthful and lively, and exceptionally sweet and charming.
Luo Qingzhou said: "If you like, come over and let me kiss you."
When Bai Ling heard this, she immediately jumped away like a little white rabbit, stuck out her pink tongue, scratched her cheek with her fingers, and said with a smile: "Sir, you have no shame. I don't want to do this in broad daylight."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Then I'll come in the evening?"
Bailing snorted, happily admiring the jade bracelet on her wrist, and ignored him.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her happy smile and felt secretly ashamed, but he also had to admire the Second Miss's intelligence, wisdom, gentleness and thoughtfulness.
"I'm going to find the eldest lady."
He went straight to the back garden.
Bai Ling admired the flowers in the courtyard for a while, then she closed the gate, picked up the vase from the ground, and ran into the room impatiently, shouting, "Chanchan! Chanchan! Look at what I have in my hands!"
In the back garden.
Miss Qin, dressed in a white dress and with a picturesque figure, was sitting in the pavilion, quietly reading a book in her hands.
Green trees, red pavilion, white clothes like snow, gentle breeze, black hair like a waterfall, and that beautiful face, the picture is truly as beautiful as a poem or painting.
Luo Qingzhou stood at the door quietly for a while, then walked over quietly.
Arriving in front of the pavilion, he coughed lightly, then bowed and said, "Miss, Miss asked me to give you a hairpin."
As he said this, he walked into the pavilion, held the crystal hairpin in both hands, and handed it to her.
Qin Jianjia was slightly startled when she heard this. She looked at the hairpin in his hand, then looked at him. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Was it given by Wei Mo?"
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "Yes, it was given by the Second Miss."
He had thought it through on the way here. He definitely couldn't say that he gave it as a gift, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. If the other party refused to accept it, it would be even more embarrassing.
It is said that the one given by the second young lady is the best choice.
Qin Jianjia stared at him quietly for a while, then reached out her hand, took the hairpin, looked down at it for a moment, and said, "Wei Mo doesn't have such a hairpin."
Luo Qingzhou immediately said, "The Second Miss asked Qiu'er to buy it yesterday, specially for the First Miss."
Qin Jianjia raised her head, looked at her and said, "Qiu'er has never left the house."
Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment and said, "That might be something Zhu'er bought outside, or maybe my mother-in-law brought it back from outside."
Qin Jianjia looked at him quietly and said nothing more.
Luo Qingzhou felt uncomfortable all over, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Miss, if everything is fine, I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, just as he was about to leave, Qin Jianjia suddenly asked again: "Do you feel ashamed to give me something?"
After hearing this, Luo Qingzhou was stunned. He raised his head and looked at him. He met her clear eyes, then lowered his head and remained silent for a while. He said, "Miss, it's not embarrassing, it's just... not appropriate. And I know that Miss has a prejudice against me."
Qin Jianjia said calmly: "What prejudice?"
Luo Qingzhou muttered to himself, what prejudice? Didn’t you just tell me that last time? You’re asking even though you already know the answer.
He didn't dare to bring it up, and said, "Nothing."
After a pause, he decided to tell the truth: "Miss, I did bring this hairpin back, but... it was Miss Second who asked me to come and give it to you. So please don't misunderstand me, Miss. I really don't have any other intentions. I swear."
Qin Jianjia was silent for a moment, then handed the hairpin to him again and said calmly, "I don't want it."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her expression and didn't dare to say anything more. He reached out to take the hairpin back and said with his head down: "Sorry, Miss, I am presumptuous."
Having said that, he immediately retreated.
He did not regret what he had just said.
Hairpins are different from shoes. Giving a hairpin to a girl has a lot of meaning, so he must make it clear, otherwise when the news gets to his mother-in-law, he will definitely be in trouble.
As for the pair of shoes, it was because he was at fault first, as his two little white rabbits had bitten her shoes, so he wanted to compensate her with a pair. Moreover, the pair of shoes was designed by him and the second young lady, and was made by Xiaodie, so he was very calm about it.
"Uncle!"
Just as he was leaving, Bailing suddenly came out of the room, snatched the hairpin from his hand, and said angrily: "Sir, you are so stingy. It was clearly given to the young lady, why did you take it away?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Miss, don't."
Bai Ling snorted and whispered, "Stupid son-in-law, so stupid, what else can you do besides trembling and bullying other people's rabbits?"
Then he said, "If the young lady doesn't want it, I will. Anyway, the son-in-law won't allow it to be taken away!"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said nothing more. He walked into the house and went straight to Chanchan's room.
It doesn’t matter. The hairpin has been given away anyway. Even if the second lady wants to blame him, it has nothing to do with him.
"Winter! Winter! Winter!"
When he reached the door of the room, he knocked.
Without waiting for a response, he pushed the door open, closed it, and walked inside.
Xia Chan sat up from the bed, her hair loose, sleepy eyes, and dazed expression. She stared at him for a moment before reacting. She hurriedly pulled up the quilt to cover her bellyband and fair skin, and said, "You, what are you doing?"
Luo Qingzhou walked to the bedside, sat down on the edge of the bed, leaned over and kissed her little mouth, then handed the pearl to her and said, "This is for you. With it, you can beautify your skin, drive away dust, and play in the water. You will never be afraid of water again. It suits you very well."
Xia Chan stared at the pearl in his hand in a daze. After a while, she looked at him and said, "I don't want it."
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled and said, "Why? It suits you very well. My uncle bought it specially for you."
Xia Chan lowered her head slightly, bit her lip, and whispered, "Gui. Chanchan... is not worthy."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her with her head down, feeling so inferior and pitiful. His heart was suddenly clenched. He reached out and hugged her, saying, "What nonsense. Chanchan is so cute and well-behaved. Even the moon in the sky, the stars in the sky, even the best things in the world, Chanchan deserves it."
Then he kissed her forehead and cheeks, and said softly: "Chanchan, even the best and most outstanding man in the world has become your captive, what else is there that you don't deserve?"
Xia Chan blushed, pouted slightly and said, "You, don't, face."
Luo Qingzhou kissed her little mouth again, reached his hand into the quilt, stroked her smooth calves, then held her delicate and slender feet, gently stroked them and said: "Speaking of shamelessness, I don't know who secretly had the wedding night with my uncle, drugged him, and then took the opportunity to bully him."
"Woo..."
Xia Chan was so embarrassed that she buried her face tightly in his arms, and dared not show her face or say a word again. She did not dare to struggle even though his little feet were holding her in his hands.
In the back garden.
Bailing walked behind Miss Qin, holding the crystal hairpin in her hand, and said softly, "Miss, my son-in-law doesn't know how to talk, so don't take it to heart. This hairpin is really beautiful and suits you very well. Let me help you put it on, okay? It must be very beautiful."
Qin Jianjia lowered her head and read the book quietly, but her eyes were dazed and her thoughts were drifting to who knows where. After hearing this, she was silent for a moment and said, "No, his things."
Bailing pursed her lips and said seriously: "Well, don't spoil the things of the stupid uncle. This hairpin was given by the second young lady. Bailing will help you put it on."
As he spoke, he gently inserted it into her black hair.
Qin Jianjia drooped her long eyelashes slightly, and remained quiet, not saying anything else.
