embarrassment for man and wife

It was a good game of archery to win prizes, but Dongfang Qingming and Xie Junnan got in the way, which caused the boss a lot of losses. Although these items used for business are not as valuable as those used by the court, they are still quite expensive. It is valuable, one or two pieces are fine, but even one piece was ruined by Dongfang Qingming and Xie Junnan. The boss also had a heartache on his face. He wanted to stop the two but he was not brave enough. After they finally shot the arrows, Xie Junnan and Zhuohua only got the concentric jade and the belt, while Dongfang Qingming and Lianying... didn't get any...

"It's not my fault, it hurts the young master..." Lian Ying lowered her head, her eyes were red, her whole body was full of pity and self-blame.

Dongfang Qingming said nothing, just stared at Lianying with downcast eyes.

When Zhuohua looked at them secretly, he couldn't help but wonder if Dongfang Qingming had seen something, so he didn't speak at the moment, but... he also didn't care about what happened to Dongfang Qingming and Lianying. It's actually a bunch of mess...

When he looked at Xie Junnan in a blink of an eye, Zhuohua looked at the objects that he and Xie Junnan had accidentally shot just now, and couldn't help but feel a burst of pain in his heart, feeling that those things had turned into white silver in an instant...

Xie Junnan was normal, he stood beside Zhuohua and even squeezed Zhuohua's hand comfortingly. For a short moment, Wang Dong seemed to have agreed with the store owner, and then trotted back, with a look of... He hesitated to speak.

For some reason, Zhuo Hua suddenly felt as if he had seen the words "Beautiful Fairy" on Wang Dong's face! ! !

"How?" Xie Junnan asked lightly.

Wang Dong responded with a scalp and said: "The slave just settled with the store owner, the items damaged by the young master and the fourth young lady are totaling 800 taels of silver..." .

When Zhuo Hua heard this, his scalp felt numb: "200 taels? So much? Is this enough to buy his lot?".

Wang Dong was a little embarrassed: "Back to Madam Fourth Young Master, the blue and white porcelain vase damaged by Madam Fourth Young Master and the young master before was worth five hundred taels of silver, and the ones that are farther away from now on, although the objects are small, are also high-quality jade. Polishing, especially one of the Ruyi handles is the most precious... ".

Zhuo Hua's brain hurt when he heard that, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Xie Junnan: "A jacket is so expensive, are there any poor people in your capital?".

Xie Junnan covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "Actually, this is nothing in the capital...".

Zhuohua was instantly depressed: "I want to go back to Huaxi Village...".

Xie Junnan was startled: "Why?".

Zhuohua wanted to cry but had no tears: "I'm poor, I can't afford it".

puff……

Xie Junnan couldn't help but laugh, he squeezed Zhuohua's hand: "It doesn't matter, mine is yours and you can play with it as you like".

again...

Zhuo Hua was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly he couldn't make a fuss. He coughed lightly, and deliberately changed the subject: "By the way, Lianying and the others broke more things than us, so they..." Zhuo Hua was a little worried .

Wang Dong shrugged: "The store just calculated it for them, but because General Dongfang's arrow technique was too fierce, it not only damaged the store's stuff, but also damaged some items of the two families afterward, so..." Wang Dong shrugged. Dong coughed lightly: "Probably they need to compensate nearly 1000 taels of silver...".

!!!

Zhuohua was astonished, but after the astonishment, suddenly there was an indescribable balance in his heart, because Lianying was obviously more prodigal than him!And if you lose, you lose several times! ! !

When he turned his head to look over there, Dongfang Qingming didn't even bat an eye, and asked someone to take a banknote to compensate the store, and... the other two that he innocently affected, and after that, nothing happened. He just patted Lianying on the head.

Xie Junnan looked over there, and just smiled, he gave Sangji an order, and after Sangji walked towards the store, he pulled Zhuohua over to Dongfang Qingming, and asked them with a smile: "There was a trouble just now!" With such an explanation, why don’t we go to Xiangya Residence for a sit-down.”

Dongfang Qingming nodded, but when he turned around, he saw the water in Lianying's eyes rippling, showing the beauty and pity to the fullest, Dongfang Qingming sighed softly, and raised his hand to wipe away the moisture in Lianying's eyes: "Don't cry anymore, it's just a little spare money, it's good to celebrate the New Year, if you cry again, your eyes will hurt tomorrow."

Lian Ying closed her eyes fiercely, and the big teardrops just fell down her cheeks: "I see...".

Zhuo Hua looked at it, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Although he knew that with Lian Ying's nature, he would not be the one to cry so easily, but... Seeing the beauty cry, Zhuo Hua still couldn't feel Yu I can't bear it and feel sorry for it.

Unable to hold back, Zhuo Hua stepped forward and pulled Lian Ying over: "Look at you, why are you still crying because of such a big deal, and you're not afraid of being laughed at."

Lian Ying raised her eyelids, the tears glistening inside seemed to be filled with stars and seas, his lips and jaws moved, as if he wanted to say something, Zhuo Hua's heart tensed suddenly, and he hurriedly pulled him forward, after all, He warned Lianying in a low voice: "You are enough! Enough is enough!".

Lianying laughed, and touched her tears with her sleeve: "I haven't said anything yet, what are you suddenly anxious about?".

"It's because you didn't say it that it's best not to say it!" Zhuo Hua frowned: "I always feel that it's definitely not a good thing for you to speak again!".

Lian Ying was displeased: "It makes me look like someone."

"You are not human," Zhuo Hua whispered, "You are just a book! You can turn the pages without panting."

puff……

Lianying couldn't hold back herself, she couldn't help laughing.

The two of them walked ahead, whispering to each other, Xie Junnan and Dongfang Qingming walked side by side, subconsciously following behind them, recalling the previous events, Xie Junnan couldn't help being suspicious: "With your skill, even if It’s a dual purpose, and there shouldn’t be such a mistake.” What Xie Junnan pointed out, the arrows he shot before, not only missed all the items in the store, but even almost involved other people’s affairs...

Regarding this, Dongfang Qingming couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly, his eyes gleamed with light, like a jackal staring at its prey, tightly locked on Lianying's back.

Xie Junnan stared at his eyes for a moment, couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, and guessed: "No way?".

Dongfang Qingming nodded calmly: "As you can imagine, he has hidden more than I expected."

Xie Junnan couldn't help being secretly startled, and when he looked at Lianying again, the look in his eyes was obviously surprised.

Lianying and Zhuohua were whispering to each other, suddenly his eyes froze, and he looked behind him half-turned, but for some reason he forcibly endured it, before Zhuohua rubbed shoulders, Lianying suddenly stretched out Wing trip...

"Ah...!" Zhuo Hua exclaimed, and the whole person suddenly staggered forward.

Lian Ying hurriedly stretched out her hand, but she couldn't hold back Zhuo Hua, both of them pulled together and fell to the ground.

Wang Dong's face completely changed when he watched from the side, Mother Cheng's hands and feet were surprisingly fast, almost before Xie Junnan stepped forward, she had already taken a step forward to support Zhuohua in time!

"Zhuohua!".

"Lian Ying!".

Xie Junnan and Dongfang Qingming hurried towards them.

Lianying fell down heavily with her back on the ground, but fortunately Zhuohua was supported by Nanny Cheng, she just got sprained a bit, but it didn't really matter.

Xie Junnan stepped forward quickly, took Zhuohua from Madam Cheng, and hurriedly checked Zhuohua's situation: "How is it? Did you sprain your feet? Is there anything wrong?".

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Zhuo Hua couldn't help looking at Madam Cheng with complicated eyes when he said that.

It was such a good time just now, if he really fell to the ground, wouldn't he be able to take the opportunity to deal with the fake pregnancy?But Nanny Cheng's reaction was really too fast, but...on second thought, if she really fell just now, and she took this opportunity to deal with the fake pregnancy, wouldn't that implicate Lianying?After all... Lian Ying was originally a lowly status in Dongfang's family, a concubine who was promoted from a servant to a male concubine...

Thinking of this, Zhuohua sighed softly, quickly said to Xie Junnan that it was okay, then looked at Lianying, but saw Dongfang Qingming squatting beside Lianying, and he didn't know what he said to Lianying, and then he suddenly acted surprisingly , actually picked up Lianying by heart!

Lying on Dongfang Qingming's back, Lian Ying was obviously stunned, but Dongfang Qingming had a frank face, and only said to Xie Junnan: "The front is Xiangya Residence, let's learn it quickly." The fallen lotus shadow walked away.

When Xie Junnan turned his head to look at Zhuohua, Zhuohua seemed to remember the lessons learned before, and immediately covered his stomach with both hands and said, "I'm pregnant, so I can't recite it!".

It's true that if you tell too many lies, it becomes extra smooth!

Cheng Momo and Wang Dong also looked worried, and they both stared at Xie Junnan.

Xie Junnan seemed amused by Zhuohua's reaction, he chuckled lightly, didn't speak, just stretched out his hand to pull Zhuohua, then stretched out his long arm, took him into his arms, and took Zhuohua to chase Dongfang Qingming and the others. .

After entering the Xiangya residence, Dongfang Qingming directly asked about the private room, and then left all the other servants outside, including Mother Cheng, Wang Dong, and Sangji, who were kicked out.

In the huge private room, the environment was quiet, but only four of them sat there.On the round table, there was a table of dishes, the dishes were exquisite and fragrant, which made Zhuohua, who had been wandering for a long time, feel a little greedy, but Lianying was still sitting there like a little white lotus , lowered his head slightly and lowered his eyelids, with a respectful look.

Xie Junnan just glanced at Lianying briefly, then took chopsticks and put vegetables in Zhuohua's bowl: "If you are hungry, eat, these are not for watching."

Zhuohua knew it with a mutter, but obediently took the chopsticks and started eating.

Dongfang Qingming sat across from the two of them. Although he also put dishes in Lianying's bowl, he himself had better wine. He took three glasses of wine in a row before he was satisfied!

"Fengyaju's chrysanthemum wine is really mellow!" Dongfang Qingming sighed with a smile, and filled a glass each for Lianying and Zhuohua: "You can also try it, this wine is not spicy, it is just suitable for you to drink."

Xie Junnan listened, and his eyes couldn't help but flash.

Although Xiangyaju's chrysanthemum wine is not spicy, it has a strong aftertaste...

Squinting his eyes slightly, Xie Junnan raised his head and looked at Dongfang Qingming, only to see that Dongfang Qingming just raised his wine glass at him.

Zhuohua didn't know how to drink alcohol originally, in his impression, all wines are spicy and choking things, but now he heard Dongfang Qingming say that even Lianying had a glass at hand, so Zhuohua Unable to help being curious, he took the cup to his lips and took a sip carefully.

The lips and teeth are fragrant, vaguely like the scent of chrysanthemums, the wine is over the tip of the tongue, and the touch immediately comes from the top, as if there are countless beads dancing on it.

Smacking his lips, Zhuohua took the cup and drank it in one gulp.

Xie Junnan just watched silently and didn't stop him. He even said, "Really? I'll try it too."

Dongfang Qingming suddenly smiled with deep meaning on his face, Lianying raised his eyes secretly, and inadvertently saw Dongfang Qingming's smile, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and when he lowered his eyes again, he seemed to be radiant inside.

Zhuohua didn't notice the silent undercurrent in the room, because he thought the chrysanthemum wine was interesting, and he drank a few more glasses afterwards, and when he was about to put down the bowls and chopsticks, Zhuohua couldn't help but reach out and touch his belly , inside... bulging, like eating too much.

belch……

He wanted to frown, but he never thought that a package would appear suddenly, and that loud movement immediately made Zhuohua blush instantly, so embarrassed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Dongfang Qingming just smiled faintly. He walked to the window, opened it and looked outside, Fang asked: "Tonight, there will be fireworks going off outside. Do you go back after watching the fireworks, or after a short rest?" .

Xie Junnan said: "I'm afraid the fireworks can't be seen outside. After a short rest, I will take Zhuohua back, otherwise grandma should be worried." After a pause, Xie Junnan asked: "What about you?".

Dongfang Qingming smiled lightly: "It's such a beautiful day, it's natural to go back after watching the fireworks."

On the side, Lianying suddenly felt a sudden heartache for some reason.

Xie Junnan smiled lightly, as if he already knew.

In the private room, several people sat down again. Seeing that the time was almost up, Xie Junnan took Zhuohua to get up and said goodbye. From here, he went back to play all the way, and arrived at the place where he had an appointment with his younger brothers and sisters. It happened to be the hour of the day.

The two of them left, and in the private room, only Lian Ying and Dongfang Qingming were left, but one of them was standing by the window and staring outside, while the other was still sitting at the table and continued to play his weak and innocent little white lotus. , the room was quiet, it seemed that even the hustle and bustle outside could not disturb the two of them.

After leaving Feng Yaju, Xie Junnan walked with Zhuohua for a while, and saw that Zhuohua's steps started to shake a little, he couldn't help frowning for me, and put his hands around Zhuohua's waist: "What's wrong?".

Zhuo Hua shook his head: "It's okay, I just feel...a little dizzy...".

"Could it be because of the chrysanthemum wine that I drank too much just now?".

Zhuo Hua frowned: "But I only drank a few cups, so it shouldn't be too much...".

Xie Junnan pondered for a while, before saying: "I think, let's go back, maybe you don't drink too much, so now you're starting to get drunk."

Zhuo Hua thought about it, it seemed that this possibility was also possible, his head started to feel dizzy, and his body seemed to have no strength, so he just followed Xie Junnan's arm and leaned against him, allowing him to lead him forward.

Cheng Nanny and Wang Dong were watching, they were worried, they heard Xie Junnan order Wang Dong to go ahead and bring the carriage, Wang Dong took the order and turned around to run, Cheng Nanny couldn't help asking: "Fourth Young Madam What's going on here?".

Xie Junnan said: "It's okay, maybe I'm tired." As he said that, Xie Junnan's eyes flashed, and he bent down suddenly, and hugged Zhuohua up.

Mother Cheng's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly lowered her head to pretend she didn't see it.

Zhuohua was already dizzy, being hugged by Xie Junnan like this, when he looked up, the look in his eyes was blurred, he didn't ask any questions, Xie Junnan just coaxed him softly: "If you are dizzy, lean on me for a while, wait until you get back When I get home, I'll call you again."

Zhuohua smacked his lips, as if he had heard it. He didn't gnaw, and tilted his head towards Xie Junnan's body, and then... what happened next, Zhuohua didn't know it at all, he just felt like he was dreaming.

The scene in the dream was so hazy that he couldn't see it clearly. He just felt that the place was like a mountainside. The blooming trees and flowers in front of him were like a sea, and the reflection on the water was like a mirror. He seemed to be sitting on a mound. Above, looking at the hazy figure, walking towards him with a food box, but... instead of passing the things into his hands, he took them out one by one and placed them neatly on the ground, and finally connected the incense sticks. Also click on it.

Zhuohua was suspicious, and wanted to open his eyes to see who this person was, but he couldn't recognize him at all. The person didn't speak, but after toasting to him, the glass tilted, and the wine spilled on the floor. But there was a familiar voice, like the voice of my uncle, but not like...

"I didn't expect you to be here today."

The man smiled lightly, and his voice was as gentle as the wind: "I had nothing to do, so I walked around, and remembered that today is his memorial day, so I came to have a look."

The voice...is very familiar...

"Zhaohua has been gone for almost 19 years, and you come here every year to pay homage, and you are more concerned than me, who is a brother-in-law."

Uncle...!

Zhuo Hua was startled, this person is actually his uncle?Then... who is the person who sacrificed himself?

Zhuo Hua couldn't understand it, and couldn't figure it out at this moment.

The uncle walked a few steps in front of Zhuohua, he squatted down, his eyes seemed to be staring at Zhuohua, and he didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly sighed: "If I could have returned to Beijing earlier, I would have brought you with me." Zhuohua's marriage is done, instead of letting him be deceived... In that case, Zhuohua will not die, and neither will you... ".

The man's voice was still warm, but his face was hazy, so that Zhuohua could not see the expression on his face clearly, he only heard him say: "The marriage contract that day was just a joke of yours, I didn't take it to heart, Come here to pay homage to him, just drop by to have a look."

"Let's take a look along the way?" The uncle got up and turned to look at him: "Even though your marriage with Zhuo Hua was just a joke on my part, didn't you really take it to heart? If you didn't take it to heart, why did you move to the nearby area?" Living in seclusion? If you never cared about it, why are you still alone for 19 years? If you never cared about it, why do you come here to pay homage every year? Shiro... Zhuohua has been gone for 19 years, and you also... ".

"You think too much." Shiro just interrupted lightly: "I live in seclusion here, but I am tired of the intrigues of the officialdom, and I am alone, but I have never met anyone who can make my heart beat. I just met him once, that's all."

The uncle seemed to have something to say, but Shiro bowed suddenly: "I still have something to do in the reed, so I'll take my leave first."

Afterwards, Zhuo Hua could only open his eyes wide, looking at the blurry figure, which was getting farther and farther away from his sight, and he could no longer see it. The only thing left was his uncle's helpless sigh: Idiot...

After the person left, the voices in his ears also dissipated, but Zhuohua felt that he couldn't calm down anymore, he just tried his best to open his eyes wide, wanting to see Shiro's back again, but...

"Don't go...don't go...".

In the room, the person beside the bed was talking suddenly, but it was quiet here, and the person at the table didn't hear it. On the bed, Zhuohua who had been talking all the time suddenly opened his eyes, but before he could see the surrounding scene clearly, he saw the The back standing by the table, Zhuohua blinked and suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the same back before, in his eyes, the farther and farther he went, it would be...

"Shiro?" Zhuohua called softly.

Xie Junnan held the cup at the table and turned his head to look: "Are you awake? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?".

Zhuo Hua was obviously taken aback, and slightly opened his eyes wide.

Xie Junnan approached him and helped him up: "Come, drink a cup of hot water, moisten your throat, and you'll be fine in a while."

Zhuo Hua didn't respond, just looked up and stared at him, for some reason, the scene in front of him suddenly changed to the scene just now, but the blurred face became very clear at this moment.

"you……".

"Don't go..." Zhuo Hua's arm suddenly grabbed Xie Junnan tightly, and his eager voice interrupted Xie Junnan's unspoken words.

I don't know if it's because his mind is still in chaos or because the alcohol has not gone too far, Zhuo Hua holds him tightly, his expression is full of urgency: "Don't go, I...I...".

"Um?".

"I made a fake show with you, don't go...well...".

After finishing the words, he was suddenly blocked severely, but Zhuohua seemed to be suddenly blocked by a demon, he just reached out and hugged the person on his body tightly, allowing him to press himself down and block his breathing, and followed his flying fingers around him. Fires were constantly being ignited all over the body, burning more and more vigorously, but they couldn't burn out the tightly bunched heart, and there was only one voice in it thinking.

: I live in seclusion here, but I am tired of the intrigues of the officialdom. I am alone but I have never met anyone who can make my heart beat. As for coming here to worship... it is just because I met him once, that's all...

"Shiro...Shiro..." whispered in a low voice, with inexplicable discomfort even for himself, and finally everything broke into intermittent sounds, lingering in his ears...
