Touch the cold

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Ren Xiuqi was coughing badly, Qi Shuang hurried over to caress his back and asked.

Ren Xiuqi coughed for a while before straightening up, staring at the open almanac in his hand for a while, then patted on the almanac, and turned to Qi Shuang: "Qi Shuang, you and Qi Xue have been following My, I have always believed in you. So I want to ask you today, what do you think of Mo Zijin?"

Qi Shuang was taken aback by Ren Xiuqi's sudden question, and after a while, she answered two words: "Very good."

Ren Xiuqi stroked his beard and smiled lightly, then Qi Shuang said, "Then what do you think, if one day I'm gone, how about letting Mo Zijin take my place?"

"This..." Qi Shuang hesitated, her face a little surprised, "It's very good, why are you bringing this up?"

"There must be preparations in advance." Ren Xiuqi tapped on the table and said, "I know my body, it's better to make a plan in advance, just tell me, do you think he is suitable?"

Qi Shuang stabilized his mind, and said quite calmly: "I take Mo Zijin as a brother, and I know that he is loyal and stable, but..." Qi Shuang paused and sat back in his seat, "It's just his temper. It's a bit boring, and the time to come is short, I'm afraid some people will not accept it."

Ren Xiuqi nodded slowly listening to Qi Shuang's words, "I know what you said, but after thinking about it, I couldn't find a more suitable candidate than him."

Qi Shuang looked at Ren Xiuqi, sighed slightly, and suddenly felt a little sour in his heart. It was not because Ren Xiuqi valued Mo Zijin, but because Ren Xiuqi, who was showing his old age at the moment, was wearing armor and leaping horses back then. Even the most powerful people are no match for Fengshuang Sculpture.

Ren Xiuqi didn't pay attention to the subtle changes in Qi Shuang's eyes, squinted his eyes and continued, "Actually, I'm still worried about one thing about Mo Zijin."

"Huh? What else is there?" Ren Xiuqi asked.

Ren Xiuqi moved his body, faced Qi Shuang, and said: "After you rescued Mo Zijin in front of the short gate that day, I sent someone to secretly inquire about his details, but after searching for a long time, they did not find out Why come here."

"Are you afraid of..."

"I don't know his past, so I don't fully know what kind of person he is, so I must ask you something today." Ren Xiuqi said seriously.

Qi Shuang frowned and nodded, "Tell me, I promise."

Ren Xiuqi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I know you and Mo Zijin are friends, but I want to remind you that if Mo Zijin really does something outrageous in the future, you must remember to take the overall situation into account. For the most important."

"He won't." As soon as Ren Xiuqi finished speaking, Qi Shuang continued, "He won't do anything excessive."

Ren Xiuqi twirled his beard, and said quietly: "Of course I know he won't, but I can feel more at ease when I tell you this."

Qi Shuang fell silent after hearing this, and said after a long time: "Don't worry."

After hearing this, Ren Xiuqi smiled lightly, then turned to look at the almanac on the table, flipped through it for a while, pointed to a day on it and showed it to Qi Shuang, and said, "Just this day ,auspicious."

Qi Shuang looked at Huang Li, grinned, and said, "Success, thank you, Uncle Ren."

After Qi Shuang came out of Uncle Ren's house, he happened to see Mo Zijin and A Xue talking in the yard, both of them were smiling faintly, as usual, Qi Shuang looked at such a scene, but felt a little bit in his heart. Heavily, he dragged his steps and walked towards the two of them.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable again? Why do you walk like a tortoise?" Seeing Qi Shuang walking slowly, Ah Xue teased him.

Qi Shuang forced a smile at her, and said: "Speaking is getting more and more serious."

A Xue glanced at Qi Shuang, and pouted unconvincedly.

"Okay, let me tell you something serious." Qi Shuang said to A Xue: "I have discussed with Uncle Ren, your wedding is ten days later, I will help you prepare the dowry, and your own things Take the time to clean up."

After Qi Shuang said these words, Ashe's face gradually turned cold, and Qi Shuang's voice became smaller and smaller.After Qi Shuang finished speaking, A Xue glared at her own brother fiercely, turned around and left without looking back.

Qi Shuang looked at the back of A Xue walking away, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Since childhood, Qi Shuang has taken good care of his own sister, but in the end, he still couldn't protect A Xue for the rest of his life.

"Help me to comfort her, she can only listen to what you say." Qi Shuang turned her head and said to Mo Zijin who was beside her.

Mo Zijin lowered his eyes, nodded, patted Qi Shuang on the shoulder, and went to look for A Xue.

Ashe hid behind the house, exactly where she found Mo Zijin that day, she squatted down and buried her face deeply in her arms.

"Miss." Mo Zijin walked over and called Ah Xue softly.

Axue ignored him, still buried her face, raised her head after a while, wiped away the tears from her face, looked at Mo Zijin with red eye circles, but smiled at him.

Ah Xue's smile made Mo Zijin feel bad, so he quickly squatted down and said, "Miss, if you want to cry, you can cry as fast as you can."

"I'm done crying." A Xue said lightly, stood up and adjusted the dress on her body, "I swear that I will never cry again in my life. And..." A Xue raised her head, "And in fact, I also I don’t hate my brother, I know he’s doing it for my own good, but I just want to make him feel bad, so I hate him very much.”

Mo Zijin was stunned for a moment, and asked, "You really think so?"

"Yeah." Axue smiled, "But you can't tell him, I'm going to punish him severely."

Mo Zijin didn't speak, but only looked at Asue's red eyes. In his heart, Asue was a kind, intelligent and self-willed girl, but Mo Zijin only found out today that Asue was such a girl who could afford to let go of her. The next person, this point, is much better than him.

"It's just a pity." Seeing that Mo Zijin didn't speak, Ah Xue suddenly sighed and said, "I wanted to continue listening to your stories, stories you've heard, and stories from your past, but I don't seem to be able to listen to them in the future. arrive."

"You're just getting married, and it's not like you'll never come back." Mo Zijin said with a smile, "When you come back to visit us, I'll promise to tell you, okay?"

"Really?" Ash asked with a smile.

"Of course." Mo Zijin nodded solemnly.

A Xue still had a smile on her face, and looked at Mo Zijin's eyes that flickered for a moment. A Xue couldn't figure out what kind of feelings she had for Mo Zijin. For this matter, she also asked herself, But now it seems that it doesn't matter what kind of feelings you have. It's futile to think too much, so it's better not to think about it.

That night, Mo Zijin was still drinking on the roof.

"Hey, are you bored drinking alone?" Ling You shouted to the roof after finishing the sword dance.

Mo Zijin shook the wine in the jug, smiled, and shouted to the courtyard: "I'm bored, come up."

Lingyou pursed his lips, put the sword in his hand on his back, and trotted all the way to the roof.

Many nights, Lingyou likes to sit on the roof with Mo Zijin like this, Lingyou doesn't drink much, and often only takes a sip of the wine Mo Zijin handed over before returning it, and today is no exception.

Lingyou returned the jug to Mo Zijin, wiped his mouth and asked him, "I heard that Ah Xue is going to get married?"

"Yeah." Mo Zijin said lightly, "The wedding date is ten days later."

"Oh." Ling You responded, and squatted on the side with his knees hugged. He was still breathing, and his shoulders were raised and lowered, looking at the yard below the house in a trance.

Mo Zijin glanced at Lingyou, pointed to the sword on his back, and said with a slight smile, "It's getting more and more handsome."

Ling You smiled embarrassedly.

"Even Ashe said that you are becoming more and more like a swordsman." Mo Zijin continued: "She has taken good care of you, remember to thank her well before she leaves."

After saying that, Mo Zijin got up, left the remaining half of the pot on the ridge of the room, and walked down the room.

Lingyou watched Mo Zijin go down silently, picked up half a jug of wine on the roof, put it under his nose and smelled it, and frowned after taking a sip, he still doesn't like the smell of wine, Rubbing his nose, he put the flagon back to its original place.

Ten days later, Ah Xue got married.

Ah Xue wore a bright red wedding dress that day, it was very beautiful, but before she got into the sedan chair and left, she still didn't show Qi Shuang any good looks, and before putting on the red hijab, she still did not forget to stare at him fiercely , making the smile on Qi Shuang's face stiff all the time.

At the wedding banquet that day, many people in the courtyard went to join in the fun, but Qi Shuang did not go.

"You don't want to go as a brother, it's a bit uncomfortable." Mo Zijin said to Qi Shuang in the empty courtyard.

Qi Shuang drooped her face, and said weakly: "Anyway, she doesn't want to see me, so I'd better not upset her."

Mo Zijin shook his head, brought two jugs of wine to Qi Shuang, and said, "The worst thing is your own heart."

"Hey, don't worry about it." Qi Shuang waved his hand, then opened a pot of wine, "My sister is lucky, I don't have to worry about her."

Mo Zijin nodded noncommittally, and suddenly turned his gaze to Ren Xiuqi's room on the east side of the courtyard, and saw that the door was half-closed, as if Qi Shuang asked, "Uncle Ren didn't go to Ah Xue's wedding banquet?"

"Didn't go." Qi Shuang took a sip of wine and said, "Uncle Ren thought it was noisy, so he didn't follow him, and besides, Uncle Ren is not very healthy."

"I'll take a look." Mo Zijin stood up and said.

"No need." Qi Shuang grabbed Mo Zijin who was about to go to Ren Xiuqi's house, and said, "I just took a look and fell asleep, so don't bother him."

Mo Zijin hesitated for a moment, nodded, turned around and sat back in his original seat, drinking with Qi Shuang.

Later Qi Shuang was drunk that day, and when those who went to the wedding banquet came back, she would ask everyone she met: "Is my sister beautiful today?" , Qi Shuang and many people in the courtyard have worshiped heaven and earth.

Mo Zijin felt annoyed and amused at the side, he couldn't stop Qi Shuang, so he could only watch him throw alcohol all over the yard.

"Mo Zijin." Just as Qi Shuang was feeling a headache, Mo Zijin heard someone calling him.

"Uncle Ren, you're awake." Mo Zijin turned around and said.

Ren Xiuqi nodded, looked at the crazy Qi Shuang in the courtyard and sighed, then patted Mo Zijin on the shoulder and said, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."
