Tuoba Amu took the food and said, "Thank you." While Xiao Xiao was not paying attention, he observed her carefully. He arrived at Langge at dawn last night and heard about Zhou Xing from his elder brother not long after he woke up in the morning. As a subordinate of Lord Jiedushi, the Tuoba clan should not pay too much attention to this matter. After all, it involves family affairs of the Zhou family. If there is a case, Judge Xu and Dou Tuiguan will handle it.
However, Tuoba Amu just couldn't sit still and calm down, so he ran to Zhou Shiliu's house again. Now he also had an official position. Although it was not a big one, he could still hand out invitations to other people's houses. Finally, he met the man who once lived in Nan. Zhou Yanzhi, who had studied together at Ji Xuegong.
Zhou Yanzhi looked sad and didn't want to talk to him. Tuoba Amu used the excuse of caring about him to tell him what happened yesterday on Saturday and warned him not to talk nonsense. The matter ended here.
When he finally learned that Mrs. Xiao was safe and sound, Tuoba Amu felt completely relieved.
After leaving Zhou Yanzhi's home, Tuoba Amu couldn't help but walk to the small door of Zhou's house, hesitant and hesitant to move forward.
After all, he still wanted to see her with his own eyes.
Now I see that Mrs. Xiao is still as bright as before. Thinking of this, Tuoba Amu smiled and squinted his eyes, eating sesame seed cakes with big mouthfuls, feeling warm in his stomach.
"It's not enough. I'll tear half of it for you." Xiao Qingxue saw that Tuoba Amu was very hungry, so she tore half of it and gave it to him. Her fingers were so hot that she hissed, "Hurry up and catch it, this stuffing is so hot."
Tuoba Amu quickly took it, poked his head over, and asked anxiously: "Is it burnt?"
Xiao Qingxue laughed loudly, raised her right hand and waved it in front of Tuoba Amu's eyes, showing off: "No, I lied to you."
Tuoba Amu looked at Mrs. Xiao's white fingertips and said nothing, but her ears were turned red by the wind and snow.
"Eat quickly. I'll ask someone to serve you a cup of milk tea when you get to grandma's place." Xiao Qingxue finished eating the candied haws and walked backwards facing Tuoba Amu with her hands behind her back. She felt very happy and brought He complained a little: "Why didn't you tell me why you came? You stood outside the door for so long. If you get frozen, Brother A Gu will probably settle the score with me."
"No." Tuoba Amu explained hurriedly: "Brother, he will not do this."
Xiao Qingxue found out that this person really couldn't help but laugh. She was clearly telling a joke. She sighed: "Okay."
"Then you haven't said anything yet, why have you been standing outside the door?" Xiao Qingxue could only say a little more. She was still very grateful to Tuoba Amu for helping her this time. With Xue Ying, she could get A Niang With the news from the front, she was less anxious at the rear.
"I heard about what happened yesterday in Yan Zhina, so I wanted to come and see you." Tuoba Amu said softly.
Xiao Qingxue turned to look at him and found that Tuoba Amu's light blue eyes were filled with concern that was about to overflow, just like the shallow ripples in the blue lake water. The sharp brow bones were pressed down, and the thin lips were slightly pursed. Her curly yellow hair shone in the sunlight, and the two braids on the sides of her ears were still braided with hair ropes decorated with rubies. A scimitar hung from her waist, exactly as it was when they first met.
Xiao Qingxue felt that Tuoba Amu's temperament seemed to be more reserved, especially when he lowered his long eyelashes to look at people, he had a unique feeling of melancholy.
Xiao Qingxue couldn't help but burst out laughing, and quickly turned her head away from looking at Tuoba Amu. She had just had a big idea, and when she looked at Tuoba Amu, she suddenly thought of the mermaid prince.
Tuoba Amu blinked and didn't understand why Madam Xiao suddenly laughed. She was a little confused and a little happy.
"What can I do!" After Xiao Qingxue finished laughing, she folded her arms and raised her head high, with a clear conscience on her face: "I still think I did a good job, and besides, I still have my father to make the decision for me. , just feel at ease."
"But thank you for your concern." Xiao Qingxue said with a smile. He was the first one to come to care about her.
Tuoba Amu noticed Madam Xiao looking at him and looked away first: "You're welcome."
"How is your Snow Eagle? I haven't seen it for a long time." Xiao Qingxue chatted with Tuoba Amu and took her to Yingyuexuan. Zhouzhai is very big, with thousands of corridors. Because it’s the New Year’s Eve, the lanterns are all replaced with festive red lanterns.
"It's pretty good." Tuoba Amu replied.
"You came back with Dad and the others?" Xiao Qingxue said as she walked.
"Master Jieduzhi led the black armor cavalry to Langge one step ahead of us. We and the Tiele tribe first escorted the cattle, sheep and horses and handed them over to the livestock officers of Langge before returning home."
Tuoba Amu answered meticulously: "It was already getting light when I got home. My brother wanted to pay his respects to his mistress, but the smell of livestock was unpleasant. He was worried that it would disturb her peace, so he thought of cleaning it up and taking care of it later. I’ll say hello to my mistress tomorrow.”
Xiao Qingxue felt that ancient people really valued filial piety. She glanced at Tuoba Amu again, and this time she found that his eyes were a little green and his face was indeed a little haggard.
"Then you can rest for a few more days. Auntie doesn't care about these little things." Xiao Qingxue said.
"Mrs. Xiao, etiquette cannot be discarded. Filial piety is the foundation of human beings. Brother should go to pay your respects." Tuoba Amu said with a red face. If his brother knew that he went to Zhou's house, he would not need to pay his respects tomorrow. , he will definitely be angry when he goes back. Besides, when his brother goes, he will also follow him to Zhou's house, where he can also see Mrs. Xiao.
"That's it. Brother A Gu, you can come if you want." Xiao Qingxue nodded, then thought of something, and smiled at Tuoba Amu: "I keep calling you Amu, why do you keep calling me Miss Xiao? You also You can call me Qingxue."
Tuoba Amu's face was completely red now. He even looked up at Madam Xiao and realized that what she said was true. His nervous palms were sweating.
This time he should also say that etiquette cannot be abolished. He is just a member of the vassal clan under Lord Jiedushi. How can he arrogantly call Mrs. Xiao by her first name? My brother once told him that people must understand their own identity. , Miss Xiao is not someone like him, and her lover in the future will not be him anyway.
However, by some strange coincidence, Tuoba Amu shouted out those two words that represented closeness.
"Qingxue."
When Xiao Qingxue heard her name, she smiled at Tuoba Amu and said, "Amu." The two of them greeted each other as if they were getting to know each other again.
While talking, Ying Yuexuan has arrived.
When Xiao Luolan saw Tuoba Amu, he also smiled: "Amu is here, sit down quickly."
Three soft cushions were placed in front of the court. Xia He brought over a smoke cage and a desk, and the three of them sat around in front of the court in Ying Yuexuan.
"Tuoba Amu pays homage to the mistress." Tuoba Amu bowed politely before sitting down on the soft cushion. His back was straight, his hands were placed on his knees, and he took the milk that Miss Xiao gave him with both hands. milk tea.
Xiao Qingxue put the food on the desk and nestled against the smoke cage next to her mother.
Chunhua offered tea, then bowed her head and left.
"I remember that you and A Gu will arrive in Langge later than your adoptive father and the others. Why don't you rest at home for a few more days." Xiao Luolan has a good impression of Tuoba Amu, so he took the initiative to help him on the boat. They met once, and later when they were fighting, Xue Ying lent it to Qing Xue so that they could keep in touch.
Tuoba Amu didn't know how to answer. When facing his mistress, he was more respectful and reserved than others.
"Amu knew what happened yesterday and wanted to come and see me. She was worried that I would be punished." Xiao Qingxue said openly, taking the snowball and putting it in her arms to rub it gently, and then kissed the kitten. .
Xiao Luolan looked at Tuoba Amu and said with a smile, "He is a good boy."
Tuoba Amu looked at his mistress and saw the soft smile in her eyes. He suddenly lowered his head and his ears turned redder.
Xiao Luolan looked at this scene, then looked at her carefree daughter, who knew neither love nor sorrow, and felt a little clearer in her heart.
However, her daughter obviously has no plans in that regard now, let alone has no idea. Xiao Luolan thought about it and just pretended that she didn't know.
Teenage love always comes and goes quickly, and no one can tell how long it will last.
Tuoba Amu stayed with his mistress for a cup of tea and then left. Xiao Qingxue sent him out and asked him to go back and catch up on his sleep.
Xiao Luolan watched the two children leave, looked at the wind and snow in the courtyard, and suddenly sighed.
"Why did the madam sigh?" Zhou Xu walked from the garden path to the Yingyue Pavilion, lifted his robe and sat beside the madam, held her hand and asked.
Xiao Luolan looked at Sect Leader Zhou and remembered that this man was also her daughter's father. She thought about it and asked, "If Qingxue has someone she likes in the future..."
Zhou Xu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who is it?"
"There are some people that a good daughter can't like."
Xiao Luolan frowned slightly, wondering in her heart: "Could it be that my daughter can only like the one you choose?"
Xiao Luolan immediately thought of the words political marriage. She sat up straight and looked at Sect Master Zhou with a condensed expression.
"My good lady, where are you thinking?" Zhou Xu held the person in his arms and said, "I mean, those who are too humble, those who have evil thoughts, those who are good at coaxing with sweet words, those who have unhealthy family traditions. You can’t have any of these men who have concubines with them, no matter how much your good daughter likes them.”
After hearing this, Xiao Luolan's expression softened a lot: "This is as it should be."
"I was just talking." Xiao Luolan looked at Sect Master Zhou and asked him to be mentally prepared in advance: "If your daughter never has anyone she likes, you can't let your daughter do something she doesn't like."
After all, Xiao Luolan was still worried that Zongzhu Zhou would let his daughter have a political marriage regardless of her wishes.
She won't agree, this is her bottom line.
Zhou Xu put his arms around Madam's slender waist. He just wanted to have a good kiss with Madam. He licked the tip of Madam's ear and said in a vague voice: "I know, my dear."
Chapter 118 Mrs. Content 90 No plot, only feelings
In broad daylight, Xiao Luolan was made red in the face by Zhou Zongzhu, who was not shy and shameless. Sometimes Zongzhu Zhou's words of love were too disgusting.
Outside the court, the wind and snow are flying like jade.
Yingyuexuan is surrounded by locust trees and evergreen cypresses that are common in northern Youzhou. Begonia trees are also planted on both sides of the path. Locust trees and evergreen cypress trees are thick. There are some elderly people in the yard. If you are here in the summer, the locust trees will have dense leaves and green shade, making them a good place to enjoy the shade. Now that it is winter, you can’t see them for the time being. Only the evergreen cypresses are still lush and green, adding color to the white world. A little other color.
Xiao Luolan looked at that little bit of vitality, and it felt like the branches were covered with green and snow, and everything was waiting for spring.
The entire Yingyuexuan was empty.
Xiao Luolan was held in the arms of Sect Master Zhou, and there was a steady stream of heat on her back, which seemed to be warmer than the smoke cage beside her, like a human-shaped heater.
There was no one around, so Xiao Luolan found a comfortable place to lie down, with the smoke cage next to her. The warm temperature made her close her eyes slightly. Only when she heard the assurance from Sect Leader Zhou with her own ears did her heart completely fall. .
Although Sect Leader Zhou's usual words were a little out of tune, he was still trustworthy to her. It was really a matter of her daughter's life. Xiao Luolan had to be more cautious and could not tolerate any sloppiness on her part. No matter how careful she was, she couldn't be too careful. She lay on the man's lap, raised her head and murmured: "Zhou Lang, this is what you promised me."
Zhou Xu looked at Madam and was lost for a while. He couldn't hear what Madam was saying at all. All he could think about was the way Madam was calling him softly.
He stared straight at Madam, unable to move his eyes away.
A few snowflakes floated on the lady's eyelashes, and her long eyelashes were covered with silvery white frost, making her look like a holy and noble fairy in the sky. Her long hair like a ribbon was half scattered around his knees, and the golden hairpin tassels on her temples collided. There was a sound of broken jade.
Under the snow-colored sky, Madam's eyebrows were like smoke, her plump cherry lips were red and magnificent, and even her breath carried a unique fragrance. She rested on her lap, under her heavy sleeves, and folded her hands on her abdomen. , elegant and noble, with shining eyebrows.
Under the deep clothes, a section of snow-white neck was looming.
High above the bright moon, her waist is as thin as a willow, exuding the fragrance of a mature woman.
Xiao Luolan was about to say something, but her vision went dark, and the back of her neck was held up by a rough hand, and then there was a hot breath on her lips, which was extremely passionate and lingering.
Zhou Xu had never felt that his self-control was so weak and vulnerable. There was no need for his wife to do anything. She only had to show a little softness to him and get close to him, and he himself would abandon his armor and be defeated.
How could there be such a person as Madam in this world? Zhou Xu held Madam's hand to prevent her from moving.
Xiao Luolan didn't understand why Sect Leader Zhou got excited after saying it was okay. She tried to take her hand out, but failed.
"Madam, don't move." Zhou Xu buried his head in Madam's neck, gradually moving down.
Xiao Luolan turned his head. Even though he knew that there was no one in Yingyuexuan now, he still felt uncomfortable and nervous: "Mr. Zhou, don't be like this."
It took Zhou Xu a while to stop his movements. There was sweat on his forehead and veins popped up on the back of his hands.
After Xiao Luolan was freed, she quickly sat up straight, her face turned red, and after closing her clothes, she looked at Sect Master Zhou and found that he was sitting next to her, his eyes were heavy, and the embarrassment under his robe could not be concealed.
Xiao Luolan blushed even more: "Can't you be more honest?"
Zhou Xu hugged his wife and sat down towards her. The two were close to each other and said with a low smile: "No."
Since he couldn't eat any meat, Zhou Xu kissed his wife's fingertips and said, "Madam, let's go somewhere else."
For Zhou Xu, the things here are extremely happy and are not regarded by outsiders.
"Have you met Lian Shiqing?" Xiao Luolan remembered that Sect Leader Zhou still had something to do today, so it was done so quickly?
"I've seen it." Zhou Xu simply picked up his wife and took a remote path to leave Yingyuexuan. Xiao Luolan was frightened and hooked her arms around Sect Master Zhou's neck. The feeling of weightlessness made her look at the ground frequently.
"Zhou Lang, please put me down quickly."
Not only did Zhou Xu not let go, he even threw it upwards, scaring Xiao Luolan into hugging the man tightly.
Zhou Xu laughed and said, "Madam, don't worry, I won't throw you."
