Cold and warm depend on each other

Returning to the inn, Xue Wanxiang was indeed packing her luggage, Su Zhe just sat and watched for a while, and then went to the front hall to ask the waiter to arrange lunch.

There were only a few pieces of clothes in total, and there were not many things to go out. Xue Wanxiang packed them up quickly. Su Zhe just came back and touched his neck and said a few words to her.Xue Wanxiang responded one by one, with a calm face, no emotion could be seen, but Su Zhe still felt that she and her were as respectful as ice.

After a short wait, the food was delivered to the room. There was steamed sea bass, red bean soup, and a stir-fried bitter gourd.

The two sat opposite each other and ate silently. Su Zhe covered his face with a bowl, only showing a pair of eyes, and quietly looked at Xue Wanxiang.Xue Wanxiang picked up a chopstick of bitter gourd, put it in her mouth, bit her lips together, and slightly frowned.

"Is it too bitter?" Su Zhe asked cautiously.

Xue Wanxiang didn't look at her, and picked up a small piece of perch, "Bitter melon is not in season, this one is old."

"Didn't we still eat last time?" Su Zhe wondered, picked up the thinnest and smallest piece, put it in his mouth, his face wrinkled into bun folds due to bitterness.

Seeing her grinning, Xue Wanxiang covered her mouth with a smile, and blocked it with a chopstick of bitter gourd.

Su Zhe spooned half a bowl of soup to suppress the bitter taste, remembering that it had been a long time since he last ate bitter melon.While Xue Wanxiang was in charge of her, she was always accommodating to her taste. Whenever she had snacks, there were always her favorite dishes on the table. Before she knew it, she got used to it.

"Why don't you eat it?" Xue Wanxiang avoided ginger, scallion and garlic on the fish plate, and gave her a piece of sea bass with chopsticks.

The white and tender fish belly is the most delicious part of a fish.Su Zhe looked at the fish in the bowl, she didn't like those side dishes, Xue Wanxiang picked them all for her.

"Wan Xiang..." Su Zhe held the bowl, lowered her head slightly, bit her lip before she was willing to eat the piece of fish, and asked, "Last night... Did I... Did I..."

"You were drunk last night." Xue Wanxiang squeezed the chopsticks in her hand tightly and cut her off: "Do you still remember what you did?"

"Remember." Su Zhe put down the bowl, his tone was no longer erratic, she looked at her with a very sure tone.

Xue Wanxiang didn't meet her gaze, lowered her eyes slightly, and said after a while: "I have already forgotten."

Su Zhe stared blankly at her for a while, then lowered his head again, the fish in the bowl was still so white and tender, she held up the chopsticks to pick it up, but it was tasteless after eating.

It was quiet in the room, and I felt flustered.Xue Wanxiang lowered her eyebrows, knowing that Su Zhe had stopped chopsticks without looking.She didn't want to say such things at this time, but the fireworks scene last night was too thrilling, she was sweet and scared at the same time.She wants to make it clear to her that it's good for each other.

Thinking in this way, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she swallowed the extremely bitter bitter gourd with difficulty, suppressing the emotions in her heart, and then slowly said: "My family..."

"Wan Xiang, can I remember? I remember alone, no one else will know."

This time, Su Zhe cut her off.

At the beginning of the hour, Su Zhe went to the counter to pay the bill with his luggage on his back. Xue Wanxiang followed, holding only a small cloth bag in his hand and wearing a newly bought cloak on his shoulders.

Nearly three quarters later, Lin Aiqi drove over with the coachman, Su Zhe went up to pay him a moment, then turned around and helped Xue Wanxiang board the car.The bustling city is still there, and there are only passers-by.

The carriage rattled to the gate of the city and met some of Lin Aiqi's friends, which was another pleasure.Xiaolan and the others went outside the carriage to greet Mrs. Su, Xue Wanxiang didn't show up, but responded with a gentle voice through the bead curtain, Su Zhe stood in front of the carriage and returned the greetings for her one by one.

In winter, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, surrounded by more than [-] family guards, and six carriages slowly drove out of Guangping City.Xue Wanxiang raised the curtain of the car and looked out. The flat bluestone city bricks built a tall and simple city gate, and the trees and fallen leaves lined up, and the end could not be seen at a glance.

Su Zhe sat on the shaft of the chariot, talking to the coachman without a word.The coachman only thought of her as an ordinary young man, and it was rare to see such a bad tempered one, so he smiled and told her many driving skills.

After walking for two or three miles, Su Zhe remembered that Xue Wanxiang couldn't stand the bumps, so he opened the car door and got in. He saw her leaning against the car wall, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her eyes were tightly closed.

Lin Aiqi's carriage was very spacious, and all her luggage was placed under the seat. Su Zhe looked around and found two autumn-colored futons behind the seat.

"Put this on your waist and see if it's better." She said as she supported her shoulders.

Xue Wanxiang was feeling uncomfortable, she held her arm while pursing her lips, waiting for her to put the futon away.

Su Zhe knelt on the car floor, took a hot pot, poured out half a cup of warm water, and handed it to Xue Wanxiang.The curling blue smoke warmed and comforted people's hearts, Xue Wanxiang looked back at her holding the teacup, his eyes sparkled, filled with unspeakable words.

Five miles outside the city gate, the motorcade stopped by the side of the road. Lin Aiqi rode over and talked to Su Zhe through the curtain of the car. Liu Qingqing from Wufeng Tower came.

Wufeng Building?

Xue Wanxiang frowned, and tightened her hands holding the futon.

Lin Aiqi came in through the car door with a teasing voice: "In front is Zheliu Pavilion, a place far away from Guangping City. Liu Qingqing probably came for Xiao Huihui."

Su Zhe had already got out of the car and looked into the pavilion from a distance.Liu Qingqing didn't look like the beaded and emerald rings she saw last time, but simply wore a velvet white hooded cloak, with splashed ink and green silk, which almost reached her ankles, and she was accompanied by two little girls. , each holding a small box.

"Yesterday, you were drunk, so you didn't see what happened. Xiao Huihui invited the old bustard of Wufenglou to redeem Liu Qingqing. The price the old bust asked, tsk tsk tsk, guess how much?"

Su Zhe shook his head, didn't care about the price, and just asked casually: "Have you redeemed it?" She played the pipa well, and it was a pity that she was left in the field of fireworks.

"No. The bustard offered 3000 taels! I want the full amount of silver from the time-honored Chen's shop!" Lin Aiqi sighed with excitement, not knowing whether it was for Xiao Huihui or Liu Qingqing. "Last time, Bifuyuan's head oiran was only 800 taels. What's more, Xiao Huihui's family has married a first wife, and the family has a family background, and the money he can handle can't stand such a waste."

Su Zhe recalled last night when he was lightly drunk, drinking freely and listening to a piece of "The Overlord Disarms His Armor", the pipa was clanging, he really had the courage to return to the company of blowing horns in a dream!

She glanced at Zheliu Pavilion, Xiaolan, Xiaoqing and other sons and daughters were all gathered together, Liu Qingqing was surrounded by them, and she was also looking in this direction, far away, as if smiling at her .

Su Zhe nodded slightly, turned around and walked to the side of the car curtain, and asked softly: "They put water and wine in the pavilion, and they think they will stay for a while. Madam, do you want to come down and rest?"

When the coachman heard this, he hurriedly moved out the high and low Wuzi.

Xue Wanxiang answered inside, Su Zhe lifted the curtain and pushed open the door, took her hand out, saw that her long skirt reached the floor, it was inconvenient for her to be high or low, so he simply opened his arms, hugged her as before, half turned around, and gently Gently place on the ground.

Xue Wanxiang supported her arm and stood firmly in her arms. She stepped back slightly, keeping the final distance.

The sky was like waves, and the field was windy. Su Zhe fastened the cloak on her shoulders, and said in a low voice, "This cloak is too thin and the color is not good. I will buy it for you when I get to the next city." A solid piece."

Her cotton clothes were all old, and there were two patches on the inside of the corner of the robe.Xue Wanxiang couldn't help but raised her hand to wrap her lapel, her eyes were a little red, "No need. This one is very good." After a pause, he continued: "I like this cloak."

"Azhe!" Lin Aiqi called out to her a few steps away: "They called us over!"

Su Zhe looked towards Zheliu Pavilion across several carriages, and the whole group was indeed looking at them.Those who have drank together before should bid farewell.Su Zhe talked to Xue Wanxiang, and went over with Lin Aiqi.

Xue Wanxiang stood beside the carriage, watching Su Zhe drift away, his back was slender and upright, standing like a tall bamboo.

There are tall weeping willows planted around the Folding Willow Pavilion, which are completely decayed at this time, leaving only empty branches, but a white plum tree next to it is blooming very well, crowded in groups on the branches, like the first snow blooming.

Su Zhe went up the steps, bowed his hands to everyone, took a glass of water and wine from Xiao Huihui, and drank it with everyone.

The bouquet is clear and has its own fragrance.

Liu Qingqing had already drank several cups, and she was standing on the edge of the stone table, playing with a small wine cup in her hand.

The eyes of the young masters inevitably showed obsession, Liu Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled, and raised her hand to support the shoulder of the little girl beside her.

After all, it was getting late, and they had to rush to the place where they stayed. No matter how cold the cicada was, facing Chang Ting Wan, Lan Zhou had to urge him to bid farewell.

The friends had already stepped down the steps, and Su Zhe and Lin Aiqi walked at the end side by side. Just a few steps later, a little girl chased after him and saluted Su Zhe: "Mr. Su, my lady has a question, please stay behind .”

Thinking that the pipa language played bosom friend that day, he didn't think about it, Lin Aiqi patted her on the shoulder, and left first, Su Zhe followed the little girl back to the pavilion.

The footsteps gradually fade away, the withered willow forest is quiet and empty, and the cold plum blossoms are fragrant.Liu Qingqing supported the stone table with one hand and folded her chest with the other. When Su Zhe approached, she stopped in front of her, five steps away.

Her eyebrows are clear and her eyes are gentle.Liu Qingqing stared at her for a moment, thinking about her decision, she lowered her eyelashes slightly.

"Mr. Su." She gathered herself together, walked forward with flick of her sleeves, and looked up at her: "This pavilion is named Zheliu, Mr. Su, you are in Zheliu Pavilion, and redeemed Qingqing from the Wufeng Tower, okay?"

Su Zhe was taken aback for a moment, and replied blankly: "I don't have that much money."

Liu Qingqing looked at her bewildered look, and couldn't help but chuckle as she suppressed things in her heart. She raised her hand and made a gesture when she had laughed enough.

Two little girls came over with the box in their hands, turned their backs to the outside of the pavilion and faced them, and opened the cage box.

When Su Zhe walked back to the carriage, he still looked like he couldn't recover. Seeing her walking out of the pavilion and being invited back alone, Xue Wanxiang felt so uncomfortable in his heart. Wow, it's even more mixed flavors come to my heart.

"Why did you come back?" The words came out with a small temper that she didn't even notice: "Didn't Miss Liu ask your bosom friend to explain the song?"

Su Zhe blinked and blinked, and his tone was confused: "No. She asked me to redeem her body. The gold, silver and jewelry are all ready, and there are two boxes. One box is worth 3000 taels of silver, more than enough."

Why does this sound so annoying!Xue Wanxiang pursed her lips, frowned unconsciously, and said in a sour voice, "You want to redeem her body? What about the other box?"

"Oh. She said it could be a dowry."
