After they left, Li Bozhi's brows did not loosen. He knew that Zhou Xu seemed to be bold and unruly, but in fact he was very scheming. His words did not seem to be without purpose, but thinking about it, he had not been caught by Zhou Xu recently. What handle.
"Sanlang, why did you come back from Chang'an?" Li Bozhi frowned more and more: "You didn't cause any trouble in Chang'an, right?"
Li Hanzhang shook his head: "No, I have a good relationship with the Xie family and Zhang family's children and some royal family members, and I have already gained some reputation."
"That's good." Li Bozhi patted his son on the shoulder, feeling somewhat relieved: "I have already said hello to Mr. Pei. You can stay in Chang'an for a while. It won't be long, at most a year. At that time, you will be able to join the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Li Hanzhang said: "I know."
"Then why did you come back suddenly?"
"Wulang of Baili's family has always invited me to visit his home to see the collection of Tao Yuan's calligraphy. My son was very happy. He and Baili Wulang set out from Chang'an more than half a year ago. Until they arrived at Baili's house a few months ago, the eldest brother suddenly passed on the family Give me a letter." Li Hanzhang said clearly and clearly: "The elder brother didn't explain anything in the letter, but his tone was urgent and panicked. I was worried about my family, so I rushed back."
Li Hanzhang usually doesn't pay attention to his son's affairs. When he heard that Sanlang and Dalang exchanged letters with each other, he felt that they had a good relationship as brothers.
Thinking of Dalang's impetuous and irresponsible character, Li Bozhi frowned again.
"Then why did you provoke Mrs. Xiao?" Li Bozhi calmed down and thought about it for a moment, and realized that it must be his Sanlang who pulled Captain Yang to do something unreasonable, otherwise Zhou Xu wouldn't have suddenly lost his mind and gone crazy. Archery.
"Don't you know that Mrs. Xiao has been rumored a lot now?" Li Hanzhang said in a low voice: "Anyone with some channels in Youzhou already knows about Mrs. Xiao."
"Of course I know." Li Bozhi puffed his beard and glared: "She's just a woman, so what if she knows?"
Li Hanzhang remembered that the angle of the arrow was tricky and cruel, and he felt that the Youzhou Jiedushi seemed to have regarded the plump and beautiful woman as his forbidden love, and no one was allowed to peep.
Li Hanzhang pondered for a moment. Unlike his father, who always believed that women could not achieve great things and that women were incompetent, today's emperor was not a king who was seduced by the concubine in the palace. He did not go to court early. Foreign relatives were everywhere in the court, and palace officials were rampant. .
But the Concubine Jia, who was said to be the most beautiful in Chang'an, was not as pretty as the woman just now, and her skin was so white that she looked like she could squeeze out milk.
At that time, people loved the beauty of plumpness, especially in the palace. Li Hanzhang suddenly thought of this.
Madam Dou stirred her handkerchief, feeling on pins and needles about being escorted by Lord Jiedushi. She looked at Lord Jiedushi riding in front of her from a distance, and kept fanning her head. Her husband invited Madam Xiao to Shanshui Villa, but Unexpectedly, Lord Jiedushi also followed.
Xiao Luolan opened the bamboo curtain and saw Sect Leader Zhou riding a horse next to the carriage with a black soft whip in his hand.
"Mrs. Xiao, the young man just now is the third son of Governor Li. Li Hanzhang is a scholar from Youzhou who passed the Jinshi examination in Chang'an. He is still young. Don't take it to heart if he offends you." Zhou Xu When he had nothing to say, he chatted with Mrs. Xiao.
Xiao Luolan heard this and confirmed her suspicion. It turned out that the boy was really the son of Prefect Li. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine, Sect Leader Zhou. He just asked me a question."
"It's good that Mrs. Xiao is fine." Zhou Xu said with a smile.
Xiao Luolan felt slightly nervous when she saw Clan Master Zhou's smile. She was not very smart and often couldn't understand Clan Master Zhou's smile. Clan Master Zhou was smiling and chatting with her now, but he was also shooting arrows with a smile just now.
Xiao Luolan's back relaxed after Sect Leader Zhou walked away.
Xiao Qingxue sat next to her mother and smoothed out her thoughts: "If Li Taishou and Clan Master Zhou don't deal with each other, Li Taishou's son must not be from Clan Master Zhou's side, so Li Sanlang must have had bad intentions just now."
"Let's stay away from him from now on."
Xiao Luolan nodded. Every time she went out, something happened, and she didn't want to go out anymore.
Wait until we arrive at Shanshui Villa.
Dou Haitao looked at Lord Jiedushi, stunned for a moment, and then ran to greet him.
Xiao Luolan took her daughter with Mrs. Dou.
"Master Jiedushi, Mrs. Xiao, Miss Xiao, please come in quickly." Dou Haitao said enthusiastically.
Zhou Xu hummed and fastened the black whip to the back of his leather belt.
Mrs. Dou softly introduced to Mrs. Xiao: "This landscape garden is modeled after the Expo Garden in the south of the Yangtze River. There are pavilions, pavilions, flying flowers and flowing water in the garden. The style is different from ours. I will take you and me later." Miss Xiao, let’s visit together.”
Xiao Luolan nodded: "Thank you, Mrs. Dou."
Inside the Shanshui Garden.
Luo Jinhu and his wife walked around in front of the central hall. When he saw Dou Haitao and Lord Jiedushi, he felt a little dizzy, but he almost didn't faint. Dou Yaoming didn't say that Lord Jiedushi would also come today.
"The common people/women pay homage to Lord Jiedushi."
The two people quickly bowed deeply.
Zhou Xu glanced at Luo Jinhu, who had some impressions. He seemed to be a neighbor of the Dou family next door. He figured it out after a little thought.
He went inside and sat down.
Luo Jinhu's face glowed with excitement. Mrs. Luo asked the maids in the garden to wait on her. After everyone else entered the nave, Luo Jinhu and his wife entered the dining table at the end of the nave and sat down.
In the nave.
The servants had already laid out the table and brought some rice dumplings, corn millet, and Pujiu cakes. Since it was approaching the Dragon Boat Festival, Mrs. Luo prepared a lot of drinks and food for the Dragon Boat Festival. She saw that the superior Jiedushi did not seem dissatisfied. , the thought of mentioning it finally fell into my stomach.
Zhou Xufu sat on the seat, picked up the small and pitiful bow and arrow on the desk and looked at it.
Xiao Luolan also wondered why there was a bow and arrow on the case, so Xiao Qingxue tried to use the bow and made a fake sound.
A slave brought a large lacquer plate and placed it in the center of the nave. The lacquer plate was placed on a high stool. Inside the plate were small yellow rice angle millet soaked in moxa ash juice. They were cut into small pieces of powder. lumpy.
Mrs. Dou smiled and said: "Master Jiedushi, Mrs. Xiao, Miss Xiao, the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching. Let's play shooting powder balls today. Whoever shoots the powder balls with a bow and arrow can eat the powder balls." "
Xiao Luolan was stunned when she heard this, and she and her daughter looked at each other.
I guess there's no chance for the two of them.
Xiao Qingxue eagerly shot an arrow, and sure enough, the small arrow fell softly on the floor.
"Haha." Mrs. Dou laughed approvingly, and Mrs. Luo said: "Miss Xiao, you can cum a few more times, but you can always cum once."
Xiao Qingxue ejaculated again. She felt that she didn't have the ability to ejaculate again, so she shouldn't eat.
Zhou Xu suddenly laughed.
He picked up the small bow and arrow, and shot it casually as if playing with a toy. All seven arrows hit the little powder ball.
Lei Shan picked out the powdered balls, divided them into two portions and handed them to Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao.
With Lord Jiedushi taking the lead, the others also shot a few arrows.
After snack.
Dou Haitao and Luo Jinhu did not dare to neglect Lord Jiedushi, so they visited the garden together.
Of course, they are divided into different directions, and the female relatives belong to the female relatives.
"This is the Tingxiang Garden, and further ahead is the Stone Garden." Mrs. Dou introduced, Xiao Luolan and her daughter followed her, and Fang Yun fanned the little master who was afraid of the heat.
"Why don't we take a rest in Tingxiang Garden for a while." Mrs. Luo said with a smile.
There are many trees planted in Tingxiang Garden, providing cool green shade. Several people took their seats in the small pavilion.
The fragrant pistils in the garden attract butterflies to flutter, and various flowers are planted along the well-proportioned paths, with luxuriant flowers and colorful fallen flowers.
Xiao Qingxue looked at it for a while and saw a small lake in the distance, which was much larger than the one in Dou Mansion.
"Miss Xiao, do you want to row a boat?" Mrs. Dou said with a smile.
"There is a awning boat by the lake. You can enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains. It is also interesting to pick lotus seeds with your own hands."
Xiao Qingxue took Fang Yun and went rowing with Mrs. Luo. Xiao Luolan sat in the pavilion and watched her daughter having fun on the boat.
"Mrs. Xiao, there is the stone garden ahead. Why don't we go over there and wait for Miss Xiao." Mrs. Dou suggested: "There is a small pavilion by the water on the other side of the stone garden. The lake is connected to this side. You can also see it from the pavilion. It will be even cooler when you go to Madam Xiao, in the pavilion near the water."
Xiao Luolan thought about it and thought it would be okay to go there.
The stone garden is mostly made of stones, and stone rockeries of various shapes are scattered in an orderly manner.
Xiao Luolan suddenly felt something strange while walking. She stopped, her face turned red instantly, and her steps unconsciously landed behind Mrs. Dou, half of her body.
Her menstrual period has always been stable. Xiao Luolan had already prepared a menstrual belt for use in the middle of next month, but she didn't expect it to come at this time. Unlike her daughter, when she had her menstrual period, I almost didn’t feel any discomfort in my body, so when I noticed it this time, I had already...
Summer clothes were already thin and she didn't dare to move around, so she had to ask Mrs. Dou for help.
"Lord Jiedushi."
Mrs. Dou bowed.
Zhou Xu saw Mrs. Xiao under the rocks in the rockery at a glance. Seeing that her expression was not right, he strode over and said, "Mrs. Xiao."
Xiao Luolan didn't expect that before she called Mrs. Dou, Sect Leader Zhou actually came over. Her face instantly turned redder, and there were faint beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.
Zhou Xu was stunned for a moment and smelled a faint sweet smell coming from Mrs. Xiao's body.
"Sect Leader Zhou, I...I..." The more nervous Xiao Luolan became, the faster her blood flowed. She had never felt so embarrassed before, and she was so embarrassed that she almost fainted.
Zhou Xu seemed to understand something and secretly made a gesture. Lei Shan immediately invited the people in the stone garden out.
Zhou Xu's Adam's apple moved and he approached Mrs. Xiao: "Mrs. Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Xiao's eyes were so anxious that they were filled with a layer of water, and her jade face was covered with red clouds, like a ripe flower, exuding a mature fragrance.
It smells so good. How could it be so fragrant? Zhou Xu's throat was so dry that it hurt, and his eyes were fixed on the shadow in Mrs. Xiao's dark clothes.
Xiao Luolan noticed the blood beads rolling down and became more and more ashamed: "I..."
"Mrs. Xiao, I understand. You go into the rockery first." Zhou Xu comforted in a low voice: "I will help you."
Xiao Luolan hurriedly entered the rockery, with only a little light coming from outside.
Then I heard the sound of clothes being torn.
She was startled and said in a trembling voice: "Sect Leader Zhou?"
Zhou Xu responded outside: "I'm here, Mrs. Xiao."
Seeing the sound coming from outside the rockery, Xiao Luolan clung tightly to the inside of the rockery. She didn't understand what Sect Master Zhou was doing. She was just about to ask Sect Master Zhou to let Mrs. Dou come over. When the light at the rockery entrance dimmed, she held a stack of torn pieces in one hand. The opened strip of cloth was handed over.
"Mrs. Xiao, please give me some advice. I'm going to find Mrs. Dou."
Sect Leader Zhou's voice was unrecognizable. Xiao Luolan bit her lip and took the white cloth strip over.
She lowered her head, blushing terribly, and quickly put the cloth on the bed. In a daze, she felt like she heard the rough breathing of a beast.
Xiao Luolan stopped, endured her fear and walked to the rockery. She listened carefully, but did not hear any sound.
She retreated to the rockery and waited anxiously for Mrs. Dou to come.
Separated by a rockery wall, Zhou Xu stood quietly at the exit, wearing only his outer robe.
Zhou Xu listened to Mrs. Xiao's slightly rapid breathing in the rockery, his pupils shrank, and a terrifying smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, like an excited beast.
