Xun Lan fell asleep until dawn, and the moment she opened her eyes, she was in a daze for a moment, then sat up abruptly!
The cattail leaf fan next to the pillow fell to the floor, and Hongmei, who was washing clothes in the outer yard, heard the movement, wiped her hands with a cotton cloth hanging on the rope, came to the front of the room, knocked on the door softly and said: "Madam, Are you awake?"
Xun Lan looked around, something flickered in her eyes, her eyelashes trembled a few times, and she said, "I'm awake."
"Then I'm coming in." Hongmei pushed the door into the room, called Madam, found a set of clean clothes from the box, and waited for Xun Lan to change.
Xun Lan pinched the buttons: "I'll do it myself."
Hongmei withdrew her hand, smiled, and asked, "What would Madam want for breakfast? Is it porridge or noodles? I just went to Caishikou to buy some meat, and I can make dumplings."
Xun Lan finished buttoning the buttons, touched her slightly painful crotch, as if she didn't understand what was causing the pain: "Last night I..."
Hongmei stared blankly at Xun Lan, waiting for her to finish speaking, but Xun Lan changed the subject: "It's nothing."
Hongmei said shyly, "Then I'll make dumplings?"
Xun Lan nodded, Hongmei walked towards the door, and when she was about to cross the threshold, she was suddenly stopped by Xun Lan, Xun Lan said: "Where did the master rest last night?"
Hongmei turned around and replied, "Let's rest in Madam's room."
Xun Lan's eyes trembled.
Hongmei looked at her with an expression that seemed wrong. She had been serving Madam for so long, and she had never seen such an expression on Madam's face. She didn't know how to describe it. It seemed to be... panic? But that's weird isn't it? Ma'am, what is there to panic about? It's not the first time I've slept with the master, are you still afraid that if I don't sleep well, I will be rejected by the master
Hongmei decisively felt that she was thinking too much.
Xun Lan's expression quickly returned to calm, and she asked Hongmei, "Where is the master?"
Hongmei looked outside the door and said: "Go out."
Xun Lan pinched the buttons with her fingers: "When did you go out?"
Hongmei thought for a while, and said: "The servant girl is not very clear about the exact time, before dawn, the servant girl heard the movement in the yard, thought it was a thief, and ran out to see that it was the master, the master left After that, the servants did not sleep, got up and did some things, and it was dawn."
"Did he say where he went?" Xun Lan asked.
Hongmei shook her head: "No, the slaves didn't talk to the master. I think... the master is going to find some clan elders, and go to Ji's house to seek justice?"
Xun Lan smoothed out the wrinkles on the corner of her clothes, and said softly, "Understood, step back."
Hongmei snorted, and walked out again, but just as she walked out of the house, she turned back and patted her head: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot about it!"
"What's the matter?" Xun Lan asked.
Hongmei took out a letter from her bosom, handed it to Xun Lan, and said, "The servant girl picked up this letter at the door when she was cleaning the courtyard in the morning. I don't know who stuffed it in from under the door. , if it wasn't for the servants doing the sweeping, I wouldn't have discovered it."
Xun Lan glanced at the handwriting of the numbers on the envelope, and she was taken aback. She took the envelope, opened half of it, and said to Hongmei, "You make dumplings, I want to eat dumplings."
Hongmei smiled and nodded: "Good!"
Xun Lan almost opened the letter until the sound of ding ding dong dong came from the kitchen. On the folded letter paper, two lines of words were clearly written on the folded letter paper: Sansheng Stone Temple, be there or be square.
"Sansheng Stone Temple..." Xun Lan stroked the handwriting on the letter paper, showing a rare smile.
Hongmei moved quickly, and in a short while made twenty dumplings, all of which were put into the boiling pot. She took two scallions and washed them by the well in the yard. As soon as she came out, she saw Xun Lan coming from the house. Li walked over.
Xun Lan was wearing a plain white tunic skirt with wide sleeves like clouds, hanging gently on her side. The cuffs were rolled up with a touch of gold trim, adding a touch of finishing touch, which made the whole person a little more gorgeous and immortal. Shi Fendai, with a thin layer of lip balm on her face, did not appear to be weak and sluggish as she had been recently. Although a trace of sickness was still faintly visible, she was a little more indescribably beautiful.
Hongmei has served Xun Lan for so many days, and it is the first time she has seen her dressed up so beautifully. Her hair is no longer a simple spiral bun, but a beautiful flying fairy bun with a begonia bead flower on it, which is exactly what she often wears. The one she wears has never been as bright and moving as it is now, like... a young girl in love.
Hongmei stared blankly at Xun Lan walking past her, so surprised that she even forgot to ask what Xun Lan was doing.
…
The Sansheng Stone Temple is not a real temple, it is only named after a piece of Sansheng Stone. Later, some literati took pity on this Sansheng Stone and spontaneously built a temple behind it. After that, people came to worship it from time to time , there are many rumors about it, but not everyone believes it, but this does not affect the rendezvous here, and gradually, there are many pavilions with unique landscapes around it, and Xun Lan is going to the most Pavilion on the east side.
With the continuous hot weather, there are fewer pedestrians going out, even the gazebo of the Sansheng Stone Temple, there are very few pedestrians.
Xun Lan found the gazebo she needed without any effort. There were beautiful peonies blooming all around the pavilion. The breeze blew and the flowers were fragrant. On the top of the gazebo hung a radiant bead curtain, through the gap of the bead curtain, The figure of that stalwart can be seen vaguely.
Xun Lan walked up the steps slowly, touched the cold bead curtain and said, "Why did you think of inviting me here? Do you have anything to say to me?"
The people in the pavilion did not respond.
Xun Lan lowered her eyes, gave a forced smile, and said in a low voice, "There must be some special reason for you to invite me here. Have you figured it out and decided to take me away?"
The people in the pavilion were slightly taken aback.
Xun Lan opened the curtain, walked slowly behind him, mustered up her courage, stretched out her hand, and gently hugged him from behind: "Mingxiu, I've been waiting for you for a long time... so long that I almost couldn't hold on any longer." ... you take me away quickly... far away... never come back... "
He coldly took her hand away, turned around coldly, Xun Lan took a closer look, and her face suddenly changed.
"Surprised, isn't it?" Ji Shangqing looked at her coldly.
She squeezed the letter paper tightly in her hand.
Ji Shangqing's eyes fell on the letter paper that she crumpled into a ball. How could a former cabinet scholar not know how to imitate a person's words
Xun Lan's face gradually lost its color.
Xun Lan's attire stung his eyes severely. The appearance of a woman who pleases herself, it turned out that she didn't like to dress up in the past, but she disdained it. He opened up and lived for most of his life. This was probably the most angry time he had ever experienced. He was so full of economics that he couldn't find a suitable word to describe his embarrassment at this time. Another man, and that man is still his... his...
He was as disgusting as he swallowed a fly!
Xun Lan looked at him palely, her lips opened and closed, closed and opened again.
Ji Shangqing's fists were clenched and rattled, and he didn't know how much effort he had to keep his nose from crooked and his lips slanted: "Sure enough, no matter how much you look like, you can never be Zhaoming. From now on, you have nothing to do with me , the door of Ji’s family, you don’t even think about taking another step! Do it yourself!”
Xun Lan grabbed his wrist: "Shang Qing!"
Ji Shangqing flicked her hand coldly!
Xun Lan grabbed his wide sleeve instead.
Ji Shangqing looked at her, the cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, his whole heart was so cold, he said disappointedly and angrily: "What else can you say? Say I misunderstood? Or do you want to listen to your explanation? Then you Explain, I'll listen."
Xun Lan was dumbfounded.
This kind of thing, no matter what, cannot be rounded up.
"Nothing to say?" Ji Shangqing was so angry that his eyes were red, his heart was in pain, remorse, anger, disappointment, nausea... Countless emotions were intertwined, like a dense net, engulfing him Covering his head and face, he was almost out of breath!
Xun Lan looked at him sadly: "Shang Qing..."
Ji Shangqing interrupted her irritably: "Pull up your face! When you were in Jijialing, you said you didn't poison me, I believed you; you said you wanted to go back to Ji's house, I believed you; you said you Want to give me another child, I also believe it... But now, I don't believe it anymore, I don't know anything."
Xun Lan firmly grasped his sleeve, her eyes trembling: "Shang Qing..."
Ji Shangqing didn't look into her eyes, pulled out his sleeves fiercely, and strode forward. Xun Lan chased after him, but after all, he was no match for a big man like him. Xun Lan's painful cry came from behind, It seemed that he fell down, but Ji Shangqing walked forward with cold eyes, without looking back once.
…
There is a newly opened door between Qinglianju and Xiaoyuxuan. Qiao Wei quietly pushed open the door, poked out a round head, looked left and right, and looked towards the peach tree. Bi'er, who put on the soles of her shoes, let out a snort. When Bi'er heard the movement, she turned her head and looked at her wife strangely: "Ma'am, what's wrong with you? Why are you so sneaky?"
Qiao Wei made a silent gesture.
Bi'er quickly shut her mouth, put the half-filled soles into the basket, walked up to Qiao Wei, and whispered, "Ma'am, what are you doing?"
Qiao Wei asked furtively, "Has Mingxiu left?"
Bi'er said: "Let's go, send Jingyun and the others to school."
Qiao Wei heaved a long sigh of relief, straightened up, and walked into Qinglianju swaggeringly.
Bi'er saw the mark on her neck at a glance, and she was shocked: "Ma'am! What's wrong with you? You didn't have it when you went out yesterday!"
Qiao Wei blinked her eyes: "Is it still obvious?"
It's been a night!
I went out yesterday as an excuse to buy food for Fu Xueyan, and when I came back, I said that Fu Xueyan was unwell and needed to observe carefully for one night. I thought that these marks on my body would almost disappear after one night, but why are there still
Bi'er nodded like a pompous head, it was very obvious, and she could tell it at a glance. Bi'er, who had been cleaning up the "battlefield" for a long time, was no stranger to this kind of ambiguous trace, and it was definitely not a mosquito bite.
Qiao Wei entered the room, took a look in the mirror, I'll go! Xun Lan used to bite!
Pulling back the skirt again, it was a horrible scene, and the chest seemed to be swollen from rubbing!
Bi'er closed the door, and asked in horror and gossip: "Ma'am, why did you go last night? Why did you sleep at Miss Fu's place after you came back? Could it be that you are behind my uncle's back... Hong Xing cheated, right? "
Qiao Wei gave her a blank look: "Who am I going to seek out? Who is as good at meditation?" Good looks, good figure, good wit and good work! It's simply the best in the world. After having him, seeing other men is boring.
Of course, that one wasn't a man last night, and fortunately he wasn't a man, and he didn't have the tools to commit crimes.
Thinking of what happened last night, Qiao Wei narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Where's Ji Mingye?"
Bi'er said, "Second Young Master is still sleeping."
Qiao Wei went to his room and unceremoniously picked up someone who was sleeping soundly from the bed. The leader yawned and said in a daze, "What are you doing?"
Qiao Wei threw him on the chair: "Are you embarrassed to sleep? Look at what you have done to me?!"
The leader glanced lazily, and said casually, "Are you bitten by a mosquito?"
Mosquito... Qiao Wei took a deep breath and brought the fire pressure back to the bottom of her heart. You can't be angry with this kind of bastard, because he doesn't know what you are angry when you are mad at yourself.
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door.
"It's me, Adal."
Qiao Wei said, "Come in."
Adal entered the house.
The leader yawned and went to the ear room to wash up.
A'dal came to wake up his leader. Since he was already up, he had nothing to do with him. He greeted Qiao Wei, then turned and walked out.
"A'dal." Qiao Wei stopped him.
Adalton stopped and saluted politely: "Little Dolma."
Qiao Wei listened to the sound of water gurgling in the ear room, and narrowed her eyes suspiciously: "I have a question that has been hidden in my heart for a long time, and I have always wanted to ask you, but I was afraid it would be too abrupt."
A'dal said politely: "If you have any questions, you can just ask, as long as A'dal knows, I will tell you everything."
Qiao Wei frowned and said, "How did he become the leader of your Hundred Ghosts Abyss? Did he buy it for himself?"
Adal said solemnly: "Of course not, we chose the leader after going through an absolutely strict and absolutely fair competition."
Qiao Wei picked up the teacup: "Then can I ask what you are comparing?"
"beautiful."
"Pfft—" Qiao Wei took a sip of tea.
…
When the leader came out after washing, A'dal entered the room with two steaming bowls of preserved egg and lean pork porridge: "I learned a lot of cooking skills with my son-in-law on the island, and my son-in-law praised me for making great progress. I will give you a taste of the best porridge in the pot."
The son-in-law he is talking about is naturally Qiao Wei's own father, Qiao Zheng. Qiao Wei can trust Qiao Wei's craftsmanship, but she can't trust the dark cooking physique of the Yin people. She glanced at A'dal suspiciously: "Are you sure about my father? Isn't it comforting you?"
Adal said very sincerely: "Really, both he and He Zhuo ate several bowls."
Qiao Wei sat down at the table, shared a bowl with the leader, and both of them ate a spoonful at the same time, huh? The taste is really good!
A'dal suddenly said: "Oh, I made a mistake, this bowl is cooked in the kitchen."
After finishing the words, he flashed out, and flashed back again, with two extra bowls of dark porridge in his hand.
Qiao Wei's throat slid, and she quickly put down the spoon, stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do!"
Lord leader: "Me too!"
The two escaped in a hurry, one behind the other.
Eating other people's porridge costs money, eating Adal's porridge is fatal, cherish life, and stay away from Adal's cooking skills!
The two ran to the second gate in one breath, stood at the door, happened to be able to see the shaded flower hall, the two suddenly remembered that today was the day when several clan elders came to attack Ji Mingxiu, at this time, the clan elders should have arrived.
The two exchanged glances, and went to the flower hall with indifference.
However, what was unexpected was that there was no one in the flower hall. Qiao Wei grabbed a sweeper and asked, "Are the clan elders here today?"
The boy said: "If you go back to Mrs. Young, the clan elders will not come!"
Qiao Wei asked suspiciously, "Why didn't you come again?"
The boy said: "I heard that the master didn't let them come."
Eh? When did father-in-law become so up-to-date? Didn't the little stepmother give him some comfort? If you blow it casually and get rid of Mingxiu, Brother Liu will be the heir.
Or... the little bastard's father last night awakened Ji Shangqing's fatherly love again
It always feels like something terrible is happening.
After thinking about it, Qiao Wei turned and walked towards the gate.
The leader groaned, "Where are you going?"
Qiao Wei ignored him, and asked someone to prepare a carriage, and the leader sat on it loudly. Qiao Wei looked at him strangely: "Why do you keep following me? You haven't been weaned, have you?"
The leader choked for a moment, glanced at her chest, and said disdainfully: "Xun Lan's is older than you."
When the carriage arrived near the small house, the sloppy leader had already been beaten and lay on the floor of the carriage, with his nose crooked and his mouth slanted, life was hopeless...
Qiao Wei got out of the carriage lightly.
"Ma'am, are you back?" Hongmei opened the courtyard door, and it was Qiao Wei who she saw. She was startled for a moment, and then saluted, "Young Madam."
"Is the Xun family here?" Qiao Wei asked.
Hongmei said: "Madam has gone out."
"Where's the master?" Qiao Wei asked again.
Hongmei replied: "Master has also gone out."
Qiao Wei paused suspiciously: "Go out together?"
Hongmei shook her head: "No, master went out first, master went out before dawn, madam probably left at Sishi."
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.
Xun Lan walked into the courtyard door with a look of embarrassment, Hongmei hurried up to meet her, seeing her precarious state, stretched out her hand to support her arm: "Ma'am, where did you go just now? Why do you look so bad, don't you?" Heatstroke?"
Heatstroke? Qiao Wei glanced at Xun Lan speciously, she was so beautifully dressed, maybe she was going to have a private meeting with someone? But looking at the look of Shuang beating the eggplant, it's probably hit a snag.
Xun Lan noticed that there were still people in the yard, and raised her eyes to look at Qiao Wei, who happened to be looking at her too. The moment her eyes met, Qiao Wei smiled slightly.
Xun Lan pushed Hongmei's hand away, swept away the previous embarrassment, and resumed Yunjuanyunshu's posture, like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, her every frown and smile are unbelievably beautiful.
It's a pity that what flashed through Qiao Wei's mind was the image of her "hungry wolf preying" last night, and she burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Xun Lan asked.
"It's nothing." Qiao Wei lowered the corners of her lips, walked to her side, stood side by side with her, scanned their breasts, made sure that her size was more amazing than hers, and smiled with satisfaction.
Xun Lan looked at Qiao Wei indifferently.
Qiao Wei smiled and said: "I came to find the master, he told the clan elders not to bother with meditation, I just want to ask him if he has figured it out and is willing to leave you and go back with us. "
Xun Lan's eyes moved, although it was only for a short moment, Qiao Wei saw it sharply, Qiao Wei approached her, looked at her face carefully and said: "Could it be... you guys are breaking up Bar?"
Xun Lan ignored Qiao Wei and walked into the house.
Qiao Wei hooked the corners of her lips: "It's really a mess."
Hongmei was at a loss, what was the young lady talking about? What happened? Master and Madam were fine last night...
Qiao Wei got into the carriage in a good mood. The fact that the clan elders were suddenly stopped by Ji Shangqing, combined with Xun Lan's appearance, she was able to confirm that Ji Shangqing and Xun Lan had broken up. She didn't know why they broke up. There can only be one reason: Ji Shangqing knew Xun Lan's secret.
After making a fuss all night, I almost put myself in it, thinking it was a waste of effort, but I didn't expect him to know it anyway. I'm really curious how he knew it.
Qiao Wei sat down on the carriage: "Get up, your father knows about Xun Lan and your brother!"
The leader resolutely got up and stopped pretending to be dead: "Is my Gu worm working?"
Qiao Wei slapped him on the head: "You still dare to mention Gu worms? Do you want to be beaten again?"
The leader's brains were almost blown away. He has become more and more stupid since he came to the Central Plains. Who said it wasn't shot by a dominatrix? !
After all, Ji Shangqing is not Ji Shuang, he can try his best to protect someone, but he will not give up his self-esteem for anyone. From the moment he knows the truth, Xun Lan will completely lose this backer.
Although it may be embarrassing to tell this secret, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, and it is better than keeping people in the dark for a lifetime.
Qiao Wei went back to the house in a good mood, but to her surprise, Ji Shangqing hadn't come back yet. Qiao Wei immediately sent someone to look for her, and searched all the places where Ji Shangqing might have stayed, but there was no news.
