The summer heat was still there a few days ago, but for some reason these days, it suddenly became cold, and at night, the evil wind was blowing.
Just when Bi Luo entered the door with a basin in hand, there was a loud noise in the room.
"Young Master!" Her complexion changed, and she rushed in to have a look.
I struggled to sit up on the bed, most of my clothes were off, and I couldn't even cover them. Xu Yanqing stood by the bed with a livid face, also disheveled. He kicked over the chair just now, that's why he made such a big noise. He didn't even look at the servants behind him, he glared at me as if he wanted to eat people, and said in a cold voice: "Shen Jingting, have you been awkward enough?"
I lowered my eyes and remained silent.
Xu Yanqing's eyes were red with anger and said: "If you want to rest, I will let you rest. If you don't want me to touch you, I will not touch you first. These days, you and this servant are all smiling, and here I am With a bitter face..." He fell silent, then suddenly roared, "—Do you know, you are mine!!"
I stared at him blankly, and murmured softly: "I don't refuse."
"No—?" Xu Yanqing sneered, and said softly, "So, are you happy?" Then he came over, grabbed me and roughly pulled me over, regardless of whether the servant was there or not, he pressed me Kiss me. "Um...um!" I struggled stiffly, but Xu Yanqing pushed me away abruptly, pinched my shoulders, and asked me: "Is this what you want?"
I lowered my eyes speechlessly, but he yelled at me again: "Look at me!"
I was shocked by his yelling, and tears rolled down by myself in fright. Xu Yanqing's eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "Shen Jingting, let me ask you, are you so happy to be with Xu Changfeng or the third child?"
I looked at him with a pale face, and opened my lips: "I..."
Bi Luo ran over and knelt at Xu Yanqing's feet, and begged with sobs: "Second Young Master, don't blame Young Master! Our Young Master was frightened by you, he just recovered—"
Xu Yanqing looked at me with teary eyes, and suddenly let me go. He stood up, pushed the servants away and walked out.
After a while of silence, a few servants came in to clean up the mess. Bi Luo came to my side and called out worriedly: "Young Master." I came back to my senses, shook my head lightly, and said intermittently: "You... call them, don't clean up." I looked at her and said softly, "Lie down for a while, I think."
Bi Luo nodded, then turned around and went out with the servants.
She blew out the candle and closed the door. Lying in the dark, I felt like I was still in a nightmare. No matter how I closed my eyes and opened them again, I couldn't wake up. I tossed and turned on the bed, and finally got up. I relit the candle and walked under the window sill. I couldn't see the moon tonight, the wind was blowing the wind chimes, and there was a wooden sign hanging under it with a poem written on it.
"Blooming flowers can be broken straight away, don't wait for no flowers to break branches..."
For the next two days, I didn't see Xu Yanqing again. I heard from a servant that after the second young master went out that night, he never returned home.
I feel that the relationship between Xu Yanqing and I seems to have entered a dead end. During this time, I was alone, so I couldn’t help but think of how he treated me when I first got married, and then thought of how he was with me day and night during the tide period, and then he cared for me even more, as if he had changed same as a person.
I remembered what my aunt once said to me: "Men are not easy to handle, but they are easy to handle." She blew on Kou Dan on her nails and said quietly: "Men are romantic by nature, so my aunt I will be appointed by the old lady to teach you this."
"As a wife, you are also a man. In the future, the one who can take care of you will naturally be your child. This heir will not be possible only by your hard work. Although weijiri are compatible, who knows, in case you Could that husband be a passionate seed, when the time comes, someone outside will divide your love and give birth to a wedge before you. Tell me, what is the use of marrying this daughter of the Xu family?"
"Auntie will tell you one more thing—" My aunt hooked my chin lightly, "Man, if you serve him comfortably, he will love you and love you for a while. But remember, don't give this heart to me. Take it in, otherwise, you will not be the one who will be hurt in the future."
At the end of the month, the leaves in the yard finally fell.
Although I am recuperating in the second room, I am free at any rate, so I can go anywhere in the courtyard of the mansion.
Biyu accompanied me for a while, when the cold wind blew, and I sneezed lightly. She then said: "Young Master, this servant will go back and fetch you more clothes."
I nodded slightly, and she turned around and ran back. But when I turned around, I saw someone I hadn't seen in a while.
Lu Qingsu was standing at the end of the corridor. He was wearing the brown and yellow shirt when I first saw him today, and he was still elegant and quiet. When I looked at him without moving, he also looked at me silently. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, January has passed.
He walked towards me until he was standing in front of my eyes. Those eyes are as warm as water, like a breeze in summer, and warm jade in autumn, he opened his mouth and said softly, "Young Master."
I haven't seen him for a while, but it's only been more than 30 days, but it gives me the illusion that it's like a lifetime away. It was as if, although he was in front of my eyes, we were still thousands of miles apart.
"Young Master...?"
I suddenly came back to my senses, and looked at him: "Lu... Guanshi Lu." Seeing that I was uneasy, his eyes showed a look of worry, and said, "Young Master, is your body unwell?"
I shook my head, and only responded lightly: "I was infected with the wind and cold a while ago, and it has been much better." I just went through the tide, and he thought he didn't know it. He was always considerate and didn't ask too many questions, so I said, "If there's nothing else to do, Guanshi Lu... just go and get busy."
Lu Qingsu seemed to pause slightly, I clenched my hands tightly, my nails dug into my palms, the pain made my mind clearer a lot. When I was about to turn around, Lu Qingsu stopped me: "Young Master, wait a minute."
He walked over, and I saw struggle flashing in his eyes, but it was as if he was going all out, and then he took something out of his sleeve. It was a hosta.
I picked it up and saw that the emerald jade hairpin didn't have any carvings, only a jade butterfly was painted at the end, which was neither extravagant nor delicate, and only reminded people of the quiet and peaceful years.
"This thing... I bought it when I saw it in Yangsu." Lu Qingsu said lightly, as if in a daze, "I think it suits you very well."
I looked at it with mixed feelings in my heart, but I was not delighted or moved. The smile on Lu Qingsu's face gradually faded, he was as smart as him, and he seemed to have gradually woken up.
After a while, I handed it out slowly: "This hairpin is very pretty." I smiled slightly and said softly, "Guan Lu can give it to someone who is destined. I think he will like it."
Now that the words have come to this point, Lu Qingsu naturally understands. He clenched the hairpin tightly and remained silent for a while, and when he raised his eyes again, he had regained his composure without any fluctuations. Just look, he blessed his body and respectfully said: "Then, Cheng Shaojun has auspicious words."
At this time, Biyu had already run back with her clothes. Guanshi Lu took a few steps back and said goodbye to me.
I used to do everything possible to remember his shadow, but suddenly, I realized that, just like when I saw him for the first time, all I kept was a look back, it was like a bright moon in the water, seemingly beautiful , No matter how I fish it, I can't fish it.
The sky is always going to be bright, and even if the bright moon will come again, it will eventually disappear. It was not others who made me understand this truth, in fact, it was Lu Qingsu herself.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you, you look so ugly?" Biyu only thought I was cold, and hurriedly helped me unfold my clothes. I put on my robe, and I didn't have any interest in wandering anymore, I just said, "Let's go back."
I stepped on the steps of the pavilion, and when I was about to step out of the courtyard, I stepped on something. I looked down and saw a sachet.
I picked it up, the sachet looked very familiar, I put it in my nose and smelled it, and I smelled a pear fragrance. In this house, there are not many masters who like the aroma of pear blossoms.
I guessed that Xu Qihe accidentally dropped it before, so I put the sachet away, and then went back to the second room's yard with Biyu.
That afternoon, when I was reading in the house, a boy servant came in. His face was a bit strange, and he said to me: "...Young Master, Second Young Master wants to see you."
