Second minister and thief

Lord Chu is wearing a purple uniform today, with dark golden cloud patterns, a jade belt around his waist, a pair of rhombus-shaped pendants on his top, and small court boots with blue satin and white bottoms on his feet.It's really extravagant, bright as a jade tree facing the wind, Xiao Cen couldn't take his eyes away for a while.

After a long time, he remembered to ask, "How did you come out? Are you in good health?"

"There is something wrong in the yamen."

"Wait! Why is it so urgent that you need to go there in person?" Xiao Cen strode in front of Chu Linqiu, stopped him with his arms crossed, and sighed, "Master Chu, why don't you always take your body into consideration? "

"Are you worried about me? Master Hou." I don't know if it was God's will, but when Chu Linqiu walked around Xiao Cen, his legs gave way and he fell straight into his arms.

Xiao Cen quickly helped him, and whispered viciously in his ear, "Yes, the Marquis is worried... maybe one day he will become a widower."

"..." Chu Linqiu glanced at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect this person to adapt to his new identity without any burden in just two days.

So he grabbed his wrist with his backhand, smiled silently, and then said, "Don't worry, Lord Hou." After that, he left his embrace, straightened his sleeves very calmly, and left without looking back, leaving nothing behind. Xiao Cen stood there very depressed.

"stop!"

"Does Master Hou have any other orders?"

"Master Chu, aren't you going to explain what these things are?"

"As Lord Hou saw, it is a gift for the Xiao family."

"Master Chu is so impatient to marry into my Xiao family?"

"Of course." Chu Linqiu stopped suddenly, turned his back to him and said without changing his face.Xiao Cen looked up and saw that he was as tall as a pine and cypress, with an extraordinary demeanor, without any trace of embarrassment, he was a little frustrated, and thought to himself, could it be that the thousand-year-old little fox has become a spirit?So calm.

"Why?"

"Master Hou." Chu Linqiu frowned as if he had heard some joke suddenly.He tilted his head slightly and asked, "Do you know how outsiders evaluate this marriage between you and me?"

"I don't know."

"It's said that I, Chu, climbed into the Xiao family. Lord Hou, don't you think I shouldn't wait?"

"You..." For some reason, Xiao Cen could hear a little helplessness and sadness from the words, but before he could think about it, Chu Linqiu quickly mentioned another matter, as if he wanted to cover up something.

"The date has been set, do you want to pay homage to the ancestors to clarify this matter?"

"Do you want to be included in my Xiao family tree?" Xiao Cen, who is as intelligent as Xiao Cen, can naturally understand Chu Linqiu's intentions immediately—the son of Xiao's family, whoever marries a wife, will not enter the ancestral hall. Kneel and knock nine times" to tell the ancestors, saying that new members will be added to the family in the future.

So Xiao Cen asked this question.

I thought that with Chu Linqiu's self-esteem that could not be violated by others, he would definitely become angry and have a big fight with himself.

But who would have imagined that the arrogant Commander had no expression on his face, and only lightly brushed the crease of his cuff, "Chu is alone, so he naturally wants to find a place for himself. If the Marquis refuses to accept it, That's all."

"..." Hearing these words at first, Xiao Cen's whole heart suddenly twitched violently. For a moment, he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he was feeling.

"You..." He was stunned for a long time before he managed to organize a set of arguments, "What are you talking about, my lord? Since you have a relationship with your mother, you must come to my Xiao family, and she will not treat you badly." for you."

As soon as the words were finished, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the courtyard, just when Xiao Cen wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, Chu Linqiu spoke first, "Will Lord Hou treat me badly?"

"You... Benhou can think that Master Chu intends to act like a baby to me?" Xiao Cen suddenly took a few steps, and in front of the crowd, he took Chu Linqiu's hand hidden under the sleeve of his robe, and bullied himself. Leaning close to his ear and lowering his voice, "Lord Chu, what kind of person are you?"

Chu Linqiu's face was as immovable as a mountain, but in fact, there was already a turbulent wave in his heart. He couldn't help thinking that Xiao Cen was like this at the Yaoxian feast before, and whispered an inexplicable sentence in his ear, but almost hit it. own pain.

He raised his hand to press Xiao Cen's chest, and pushed him away a little, until the breaths of the two were no longer intertwined before he said, "Master Hou didn't drink alcohol today, how could he talk drunk? What kind of person is Chu, Isn't Master Hou already clear?"
