Zhou Xu could only see the crimson patch on the back of Mrs. Xiao's neck and the tips of her ears, which looked like peach petals against the green background. He felt that it was indeed correct. Mrs. Xiao was indeed very suitable for this color.
Zhou Xu stepped forward unexpectedly and gently hugged Mrs. Xiao, feeling her delicate body tremble suddenly.
"Did Mrs. Xiao use snow cream?"
Xiao Luolan bit her lip and nodded carefully after a while.
"No wonder I smell the snow cream." Zhou Xu said hoarsely, "I'll close my eyes. Madam, please change clothes, but you have to change them beside me."
Zhou Xu lay half-ly on the embroidered couch and closed his eyes. With his excellent hearing, he could hear Mrs. Xiao's rapid and restless breathing. She took off her green round-neck robe and put on her shirt and skirt again.
Zhou Xu opened his eyes and looked at Mrs. Xiao standing next to him.
Her temples were damp, her cheeks were red, and she was more delicate than a flower. She looked very pitiful and cute in his eyes.
Zhou Xu pulled him onto the couch and asked Mrs. Xiao to sit on both sides of his body, so that the hem of Mrs. Xiao's skirt was scattered on his body, and a blooming flower grew on his body.
Xiao Luolan resisted and wanted to stand up, but her daughter's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Zhou Xu felt Mrs. Xiao tense up instantly. Before she could speak, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly covered her mouth, her fingertips turning red with force.
Zhou Xu lowered his eyes and seemed to have a smile on his lips. He always knew that Mrs. Xiao was deliberately trying to prevent her daughter from knowing about the relationship between the two of them.
What is the relationship between the two of them?
Mrs. Xiao is a married woman, and he is a person who likes married women. But now, they are in the same room. Mrs. Xiao has no intention of him, but he has feelings for her. If there is a chance, the dignified and polite Mrs. Xiao may not Will be with someone like him, after all, she is a married woman.
Zhou Xu slowly pulled down Mrs. Xiao's hand and kissed her palm. The hem of the blooming skirt moved a few times, as if the flower was trembling. Zhou Xu kissed the petals.
He is willing to be the wife's servant.
Chapter 37
In front of a person-high bronze mirror, Xiao Qingxue admired herself. The young man in the mirror had red lips and white teeth. His hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. He was wearing a light blue round-neck robe with no crotch and long boots. He looked fresh and fresh. Cool, it would be nice to add a folding fan. You can learn how to swing the folding fan like Mr. Qingshan, and you will definitely be a gentle and handsome scholar.
"Young man is so handsome." Fang Yun praised from behind.
Xiao Qingxue turned around and lifted Fang Yun's chin: "Little lady, come back to the house with me tonight."
Fang Yun was so amused by the little master that she covered her mouth and laughed. No matter how much the little master pretended to look like him, the pierced earlobes and the ups and downs in front of the moon could not be disguised.
Xiao Qingxue straightened her belt to make it tighter, then hung the sachet her mother had sewn for her on it, and went out beautifully. She bought two sets this time, and she was wearing the light blue one. There was a moon-white one. Fang Yun arranged the young master's clothes and took them out. The shopkeeper of Jiangnanfang gave the nobleman a small box to put the changed clothes in.
"Auntie?" Xiao Qingxue turned around and couldn't find her mother, which was a bit strange.
"Qingxue, I'm here." Xiao Luolan walked out from the inner room on the right, holding a green round-neck robe in her hand. She closed the door the moment she went out, her hair a little messy.
"Auntie." Xiao Qingxue ran over and said, "Did you like this one? The color is also nice."
"I tried it on and changed it if it didn't fit." Xiao Luolan saw her daughter and a smile appeared on her face: "You look good in this, so you just bought two pieces? Is there anything else you want to buy?"
Xiao Qingxue shook her head: "No, I have already made my choice. Mom, is your changing room very hot?"
Xiao Luolan's face was filled with heat, and there were beads of sweat on the tip of her nose: "Yes, let's go drink tea and wait for my wife to pay."
"Okay." Xiao Qingxue took Fang Yun's round fan and fanned her mother.
Seeing her daughter's considerate behavior, Xiao Luolan finally let go of her hands hidden under her sleeves. She took a shallow breath and led her daughter to the tea room on the third floor.
After a while, Zhou Xu came out of the room and waved for the shopkeeper to come over.
After Xiao Luolan finished drinking tea, he put on a curtain hat for his daughter, and then put on his own. After finding the shopkeeper and asking the price, he paid sixty silver and prepared to go downstairs.
Suddenly there was a loud noise downstairs. After a while, two young men appeared at the entrance to the third floor. The young man in white headed by them stepped upstairs. Xiao Luolan and her daughter were halfway downstairs when they were suddenly blocked by someone. The way to go.
The young man was dressed in brocade, with a white robe and jade belt, and a black whip around his waist. His attire looked uncivilized and unmilitary.
The foreign young man behind him is taller and thinner than him, and his facial contours are more profound than those from the Central Plains area. His long, light yellow curly hair is scattered, with a small braid on each side, tied with a hair rope decorated with red jade. He stood up, with deep eye sockets and light blue pupils. He followed behind the young man in front, with a knife hanging on his waist.
Xiao Luolan looked at Black Whip and thought of someone for a moment. She thought about it and turned sideways with her daughter to let them go first.
Xiao Qingxue looked curiously at the foreigners behind the young man. This was the first time she saw people with light blue eyes here. The foreigners she met when entering Taiyang County had brown eyes.
The foreign young man seemed to have noticed her scrutiny. He raised his slightly lowered eyes and saw a young woman wearing a men's robe and a hood standing behind the woman, tilting her head to look at him.
The foreign boy lowered his head and stopped looking.
Zhou Yanzhi looked at the shadowy woman whose face was covered by a curtain. Her figure was slender and fit. Not to mention her appearance, her figure was indeed first-class. Uncle Lei's horsemen were already standing on the steps behind the woman. , Zhou Yanzhi looked around, but did not find the familiar Lei Hu and the others.
Seeing the woman's courtesy, Zhou Yanzhi smiled and said: "My name is Zhou Yanzhi, are you Mrs. Xiao?"
Xiao Luolan guessed that this young man should be the son or relative of Clan Master Zhou. Apart from Clan Master Zhou, she had never seen anyone who liked wearing a black whip around his waist. The young man's unusually enthusiastic attitude made Xiao Luolan silent. Yes, in her heart she really didn't want to face the members of Clan Master Zhou's family.
Xiao Luolan finally just hummed softly, and then quickly walked downstairs with her daughter.
Zhou Yanzhi turned around and reached out to block her. He hadn't seen Mrs. Xiao's true appearance yet, so how could he be willing to do so.
Xiao Qingxue frowned, not liking this Zhou Yanzhi. She and her mother had already given way, why was this man still blocking the way?
Lei's cavalry and servants looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They knew the young man in brocade clothes. He was the nephew of the sect master and a member of the Zhou family. However, the sect leader was also very interested in Mrs. Xiao. Now, when Mr. Zhou stopped Mrs. Xiao, did they want to help?
"I heard in Nanning County that my uncle rescued two noble people on his way back to Youzhou and took care of them all the way." Zhou Yanzhi's eyes were smiling, with two small tiger teeth when he smiled, and there was a trace of youth in his handsome face. Angry and naive: "It must be you two, right?"
It turned out that he was the nephew of Clan Master Zhou. Xiao Luolan understood the identity of this young man. She considered it through her hat and said, "Clan Master Zhou indeed saved us." After saying that, she wanted to leave again with her daughter Fang Yun and the others. .
Zhou Yanzhi stopped Mrs. Xiao again, still smiling: "Mrs. Xiao, don't leave in a hurry, I think..."
A knight with an ordinary face suddenly walked out, cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Xiao and the others want to leave."
The smile on Zhou Yanzhi's face suddenly disappeared. He looked at the Lei clan servant and put his hand on the whip on his waist.
Xiao Luolan looked at the Lei family's cavalry who suddenly came out of the siege, and was a little surprised, but at the same time he was a little worried. The nephew of Sect Master Zhou seemed to have a bad temper. If he stopped him, he would be angry.
"Mrs. Xiao, please." Lei Shiqiu said sideways, completely isolating Zhou Yanzhi.
Xiao Luolan thought for a while and gave him a blessing to express her gratitude.
Zhou Yanzhi's face completely sank. He waved his wrist, and the sound of breaking through the air was heard. The long whip whipped violently on the back of Lei's rider. His clothes were torn, and bloody drops of blood spilled all over the floor.
Xiao Luolan looked at the blood splattered on her embroidered shoes, her breathing became chaotic, and then she came back to her senses.
Xiao Qingxue was even more angry and asked angrily: "Why do you hit people so casually?
Zhou Yanzhi pinned the long whip back to his waist. The blood on the whip dyed half of his white robe red. He regained his playful smile and said nonchalantly, "Why can't he be beaten if he commits the next crime?"
Xiao Luolan held her daughter's hand tightly and asked softly: "What do you want, Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Yanzhi crossed his arms, raised his chin, and said casually: "I just want to see what Mrs. Xiao looks like."
Xiao Luolan saw a look in the young man's eyes as if he was looking at something, contemptuous and contemptuous. She lifted up the corner of her hat and looked directly at the young man: "I saw it, what next?"
Zhou Yanzhi looked at the mature and plump beautiful woman, with snowy skin and red lips, and crows on her temples like clouds, but her eyes were a little cold, like a lake with fallen snow, distant and cold.
Xiao Luolan put down her hat and whispered to the Lei family's servant who had just helped them: "Lei Langjun, let's go."
Lei's cavalry left with Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao. His face never changed, even though his back was bleeding.
Xiao Luolan asked her daughter and Fang Yun to get on the carriage first, and then took a few quick breaths outside the carriage curtain. Silently, the Lei family's servant hesitated for a moment. Remembering the sect leader's instructions, he approached and asked: "Mrs. Xiao , what’s wrong with you?”
Xiao Luolan looked at him and said after a while: "I'm sorry for letting you get beaten."
When Lei's cavalry heard Mrs. Xiao's apology, he was stunned for a moment as he rarely had any mood swings.
When Xiao Luolan entered the carriage, her daughter was still angry.
"How could Sect Master Zhou have a nephew like that? He has no manners at all. He beats people when he says so. Why do you show it to him? He seems to be sick." Xiao Qingxue said whatever she thought of, and the more she talked, the angrier she became. , at the end of the sentence, my eyes were a little red.
Xiao Luolan held her hand and gently touched her long hair. She knew why her daughter was so angry, and she probably felt the same sadness.
What's the difference between them here and the Lei's cavalry? No, their results will be worse than his, because everything they have is fake.
Zhou Yanzhi is the nephew of Clan Leader Zhou and can beat and scold Lei's subordinates at will. Xiao Luolan doesn't even know if this Lei Clan's subordinate is beaten to death, will Clan Leader Zhou's nephew be punished?
Today's whip also woke up Xiao Luolan.
How should she protect her daughter when the truth comes out? Will anyone look at her daughter the same way they looked at her in the future?
Xiao Luolan looked down at her hands, which were extremely weak because she had no power.
"A'niang? A'niang?" Xiao Qingxue waved in front of her mother's eyes.
Xiao Luolan came to her senses: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Qingxue sat next to her mother and complained softly: "Let's stay away from the nephew of Clan Master Zhou in the future."
"Sixteenth Prince should be given a good education." Zhou Xu rode a horse with a stern expression on his face: "All the sage books I have read over the years have been read into the dog's belly."
"Come here!"
Xiao Qingxue heard the angry shouting of Clan Master Zhou and hid behind her mother. Clan Master Zhou looked so angry that it was scary.
Zhou Yanzhi quickly rode to his uncle's side. His earlier arrogance was like the snow under the winter sun, which had completely melted away. His shoulders were hunched and his head was lowered.
The foreign boy behind him also lowered his head.
"Apologise to Mrs. Xiao." Zhou Xu said coldly.
Knowing that his uncle was angry, Zhou Yanzhi did not dare to disobey his order at all. He gave a long and respectful salute: "Mrs. Xiao, please forgive Mr. Sixteen for being reckless. Mr. Sixteen will never dare to do it again."
Xiao Luolan looked at the young man's blood-stained white clothes, and finally replied that it was nothing. Next, Xiao Luolan went to the medicine shop to buy some herbs, and asked the Lei family's knight to go to the medicine shop to bandage them. The skin on his back was ripped open and looked very scary. After this incident, Xiao Qingxue no longer wanted to go shopping and stayed in the carriage not wanting to come out.
"Notoginseng, Angelica dahurica, Atractylodes, Acorus..." Doctor Qian was sitting in the lobby, looking at the woman wearing a curtain hat in front of him, weighing the medicinal materials and handing them to her. These medicinal materials were all common medicinal materials placed in sachets. The sales are very popular during the Dragon Boat Festival, so drug stores always keep them in stock.
After Xiao Luolan paid the money and came out with the medicine bag, Zhou Xu saw that there were people around and it was hard to get too close to Mrs. Xiao, but listening to the names of the herbal medicines, he immediately guessed that Mrs. Xiao must have specially bought the herbs to sew sachets for herself. Yes, just thinking of this, Zhou Xu's heart couldn't help but sway.
On the way back to Dou Mansion, Zhou Yanzhi, who was scolded so badly, looked at his uncle who didn't know why he was happy, curled his lips, and felt very aggrieved.
He is now sure that his uncle has completely fallen into the beauty. He is so happy to scold himself. Is he still his biological uncle?
evening.
After Xiao Luolan took a bath, she embroidered the sachet by candlelight in the house. Late at night, the wind suddenly picked up at the window. The hand holding the needle accidentally pierced her flesh, and a little blood dropped out.
As soon as Zhou Xu came in, he saw Mrs. Xiao frowning and there was a faint scent of medicine in the room. He strode over and asked distressedly: "Did you get pricked by a needle?"
Finally, he looked into the room, which was lit only by a few candles. The light was not very bright.
Zhou Xu sat on the stool and held Mrs. Xiao's hand: "Let me take a look."
A little drop of blood appeared on the tender fingertips, and he gently sucked it off.
Zhou Xu looked at Mrs. Xiao who was embroidering the sachet under the candlelight and said warmly: "It's not too late to do it during the day. Don't hurt your eyes. I'll give you some luminous pearls tomorrow so that the light in the house can be brighter at night."
