She paused and then praised her sincerely: "The story you wrote is so good." This woman's son is so old, he should be the same age as her.
The woman in black robe watched Jieduzhi's wife walking away, and she suddenly asked in a loud voice.
"May I ask Madam, what's so good about this story?" She asked many people, including her son. Unfortunately, her son was good no matter what she did, and others gave unsatisfactory answers.
The woman in black robe felt like she was making up a ridiculous dream.
Xiao Luolan was standing downstairs, on top of the steps, and there was the woman writing the book who was chasing after her strangely.
Xiao Luolan thought seriously for a while before replying: "I think Li Niang was not wrong. In the end, she was still alive and well. The bandits who kidnapped her and the bad guys who accused her were also punished as they should be. That's all." very good."
After Xiao Luolan finished speaking, he felt that he had told it too briefly. It seemed that the story was written carefully by the woman in black robe, and he continued.
"I will continue to listen to the book, the story is really good."
The woman in black robe stood at the stairs on the second floor, clenching her hands and breathing a little unsteadily: "What if Li Niang loses her virginity?"
Xiao Luolan pursed her lips and felt her heart heavy: "It's not her fault."
"What if she has lost her virginity many times?" the woman in black robe asked, chasing after her: "Some Li Niangs are so cowardly that they hide in their rooms and refuse to see people. Some Li Niangs twist their hair and become girls, and some Li Niangs twist their hair and become girls. In order to maintain their reputation, some pear ladies are vicious and evil-hearted. These are the pear ladies in my story. Will Madam still like them?"
Xiao Luolan stared at the woman in black robe, and felt the sparks buried in the dark gray from her words. It was not the fire of hope, but the flame of revenge with deep anger, cynicism, destructive despair, and struggle. Like a wild beast roaring.
She seemed to understand who she was.
"I like it." Xiao Luolan blinked away the tears in her eyes and trembled softly.
It's not Li Niang's fault.

Chapter 141
night.
Zhouzhai Mingxintang.
"What's going on?" Zhou Xu came to see his wife as soon as he got home. When he walked into the inner room, he found that his wife had a strange expression and her eye circles seemed to be a little red. He couldn't help but lift her face and sit on the edge of the bed to look at her carefully. , his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he suddenly showed a fierce look: "But what happened?"
"Is someone in the house making trouble for you?"
Zhou Xu asked several times in succession: "Is it the Xie family's brat who lives in the house who is bothering you?"
Zhou Xu thought about it for a while. The madam has a soft and gentle personality. She will definitely not be angry with her precious daughter. Shen Zhi and he are busy in the mansion. The only ones left in the mansion are the Xie family's cub and Lu Siyuan. Lu Siyuan has been there for the past few days. After going out, the Xie family's kid is considered a half-guest, but the Xie family's kid probably doesn't have the guts to mess with the lady.
"I'm fine. Is your dinner ready?" Xiao Luolan asked with concern when he saw Sect Leader Zhou back. He glanced at the sky outside the window again. It was already very late. Sect Leader Zhou and Shen Zhi had been very busy these days.
"Shenzhi and I had already eaten at the government office." Zhou Xu asked again: "If it's okay, then why are the circles under my eyes red and I feel like I've been crying." Finally, he wiped it with his rough fingertips After wiping the lady's thin eyelids, a slight blush suddenly appeared, which looked very distressing.
"I went to Tianxia Teahouse in the afternoon and heard about the book." Seeing Sect Master Zhou keep asking questions, Xiao Luolan said, "I still think the storyteller's story is very good, and I keep thinking about that story."
"It's just a story, how can I still cry?" Zhou Xu was relieved, because the story made his eyes red. Zhou Xu thought that such a sentimental lady was really lovable and pitiful.
"Madam, did you go out to play today?" Zhou Xuxiao asked. He and Shen Zhi were busy recently, and their daughter was not always by Madam's side, and there was no one to talk to in the house. Madam must have been depressed over time. It’s also good to go shopping more often.
"I was bored staying in the house, so I went to Guifang for a walk." Xiao Luolan raised his eyes: "Mr. Zhou, do you want to use some more? I asked the house to warm the food, and Shen Zhina's small kitchen also A soup that warms and nourishes the body.”
It gets dark early in winter, so dinner must be eaten early. In addition, Sect Leader Zhou and Shen Zhi are both warriors, and they always eat a lot on weekdays. After a busy day, they should be hungry by the evening.
"Madam, I still win my heart." Zhou Xu patted his belly boldly and said with a smile: "I'm just waiting to get home and have another hot bite. It's snowing outside again, and I want to drink two cups of Shaodaozi." .”
After not tasting strong liquor for a long time, Zhou Xu really thought about it.
"Why don't you just have a drink? It's better to drink less if strong alcohol harms your health." Xiao Luolan said, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.
"Haha, just listen to Madam, just one cup." Zhou Xu was very impressed by Madam's concern, with a smile on his face. After a while, the food was served. The portions were not big, and they were all light. The only... Meaty is a bowl of slightly spicy thinly sliced lamb stock.
Zhou Xu took a big sip and felt hot and comfortable all over his body. He asked his wife to use some too.
Xiao Luolan used less than half a bowl of lily sweet soup.
After the two washed up, they went to bed to rest. After blowing out the lights in the room, only the moonlight came through the window sill, hazy and dreamlike.
Zhou Xu lowered his head and kissed the lady's shoulder gently. He was worried that she would be frozen, so he hugged her directly. He was so hot that he kissed the lady's earlobe. The dark gold string went around the lady's snowy neck and hung down. , the jade tablet emits a warm light in the dark, with a shallow halo and a faint fragrance.
Xiao Luolan's cheeks were flushed when she was kissed, and the tip of her nose was sweating, especially since Sect Leader Zhou had drunk strong alcohol tonight, and the alcohol seemed to have spread to her when they kissed her. Her mouth was hot and her body was full of drunkenness.
Xiao Luolan's voice overflowed, and she quickly pursed her lips, blushing all over in embarrassment.
Zhou Xu hadn't kissed his wife for a while, and he couldn't control it for a moment. His eyes were red, and he really wanted to rub his wife into his own bones and blood, and the fat and softness could not be covered by his palms.
"Good madam, hold me tight." Zhou Xu asked hoarsely, with deep affection.
Xiao Luolan's eyelashes trembled, and after hesitating for a while, she wrapped her arms around Sect Master Zhou's neck. She turned her head to the other side shyly, and heard Sect Master Zhou's smile getting stronger in her ears.
After a while, the two of them went to take a shower again.
Xiao Luolan was half lying on the bedside and yawned slightly. Zhou Xu didn't feel sleepy at all. He hugged his wife and kissed her again.
Xiao Luolan sighed silently in her heart. Sometimes she really felt that Sect Master Zhou was too clingy to her. If she didn't have to go to the government office to work, she might not have a moment to spare. What did this man like about her? Xiao Luolan looked at Clan Master Zhou. In more than half of her life, she had never encountered such strong and passionate feelings as Clan Master Zhou, who was so strong that he did not give her any choice.
Zhou Xu opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Madam, why are you suddenly looking at me?" He knew his own appearance, and he was barely decent and considerate. When he was young, he had never been associated with words like "Zhilan Yushu" or "extraordinary handsomeness". Now, As he got older, he became more mature, so Zhou Xu didn't think that his wife was suddenly fascinated by him, so he looked at him silently for a while.
Xiao Luolan wanted to ask why this person liked her so much, but she was too shy to ask.
"Nothing, let's go to sleep." Xiao Luolan said softly.
"I can't bear to sleep." Zhou Xu said truthfully: "It will be dawn as soon as I close my eyes. At dawn, I will leave my wife and go to the government office to handle official business."
"It would be nice if time could pass slower." Zhou Xu murmured.
Xiao Luolan blushed slightly and didn't know how to answer the question. She reached out and touched Master Zhou's face. She could see all the hard work she had done these days. She went out early and came back late, so she never had a moment to spare.
According to Xiao Luolan's understanding of Sect Master Zhou, if he could rest, he would definitely rest.
"Then I won't sleep with you." Xiao Luolan thought of a way.
Zhou Xu was amused by the lovely madam, and his heart was full of tenderness. He hugged her tightly and let her lean on his shoulders. The bloodthirsty that he had suppressed in his heart for the past few days did not disappear, but intensified, like a burning fire. , tearing at his sanity, veins bursting out on his forehead, Zhou Xu's narrow eyes were sinister and terrifying.
How dare those people humiliate his wife like this.
Not only did he send an eunuch to proclaim the edict.
Mrs. Huarong... He dared to give his wife such an unorthodox and unfashionable title. The wife he held dear to his heart was unwilling to let her suffer even the slightest grievance. She had never suffered such an insult.
Youzhou is too far away from Chang'an. No matter how strict the imperial edict is, it will always be leaked. What's more, the emperor doesn't want to hide it. Zhou Xu's face was extremely cold. It is estimated that the high-ranking families in Chang'an have already known about his wife's title. The circles are intertwined, and this kind of private news spreads as fast as the wind.
The title is established, and I believe everyone will know about it soon. Zhou Xu only hopes that his wife will know about it later.
Zhou Xu rolled his eyes, a faint trace of blood lingering around him. He must make those people pay a heavy price. He must make them feel chills to the bone when they think of the title of Mrs. Huarong.
To be honest, Zhou Xu hadn't seen such direct provocation for a long time. Everyone in the government office had been sorting out this bizarre move for several days and had made a bunch of counterattack plans. Zhou Xu always felt that nothing was wrong. It's so simple. He has been thinking about it carefully these past few days, but he still feels that he has not grasped an important point.
But no matter what, the damned people will still die!
Zhou Xu slowly calmed down his breathing to prevent himself from scaring the lady. He slowly touched the lady's long hair with his palms and changed the subject again and again: "Did you have fun today?"
Xiao Luolan leaned on Zongzhu Zhou's chest. Zongzhu Zhou was like a stove, very warm in winter.
"I'm very happy. I also bought exorcism masks for my two children. The day after tomorrow is the Laba Festival. I heard that on that day there will be monks performing a Buddha bathing ceremony, praying for people, and a performance by an exorcism team." Xiao Luolan She did not mention the meeting with Lian Shiqing in front of Sect Leader Zhou. She asked Chunhua and Xia He to pretend they didn't know about it, and she also asked the two guards not to talk about it.
Zhou Xu's heart gradually calmed down as he listened to his wife's calm words: "I won't go to the government office on Laba Festival, so I will accompany my wife, and our family will have a good time."
"Aren't you very busy recently? Will this cause any trouble?" Xiao Luolan asked.
"It's just one day, it's okay." Zhou Xu kissed his wife on the face: "Then, where did my wife go shopping?"
"There is a poem by Xiao Gong in Dengyun Tower, which I think is quite interesting." Xiao Luolan continued: "It's the poem [Autumn Thoughts], which describes eating. It's a pity that we will wait until the end of spring next year when we go to Qinghe. I guess I won’t be able to eat autumn crabs.”
Xiao Luolan was a little regretful. She also liked eating crabs. The crabs from Jiangnan were the most delicious.
Zhou Xu made a note of this in his mind.
"...Xia He took us to the Tianxia Teahouse. We chose a private room on the second floor. The storyteller in the teahouse told a very good story. It was about a general and Li Niang."
Xiao Luolan told Li Niang's story again, but when she didn't hear Clan Master Zhou's voice, she looked up and found that Clan Master Zhou had his eyes half-closed, faintly sleepy.
Zhou Xu took the lady into his arms, fell asleep in the scent of the lady, immersed in it, and relaxed his mind.
Xiao Luolan looked at Sect Master Zhou. He would soon fall asleep, and the wrinkles between his brows had faded.
Sect Leader Zhou never brought back the troubles from official matters, and always smiled when he saw her. Xiao Luolan felt mixed emotions in her heart. Lian Shiqing knew about the title ban, and Sect Leader Zhou must also know about that title ban. It was not very good, and seemed a bit disrespectful compared to other ladies, but Sect Master Zhou never mentioned it in front of her.
If he didn't say anything, Xiao Luolan just pretended that he didn't know, but he didn't care, but Sect Master Zhou obviously cared about it. In the past, Sect Master Zhou's mood wouldn't fluctuate so much.
It seemed that in front of her, Sect Leader Zhou always wanted to be an omnipotent hero.
Chapter 142
"Auntie, is this about to start?"
Xiao Qingxue was lying on the window, wearing the mask that her mother-in-law bought for her, looking at the storytelling team on the round platform downstairs. It was her first time here, and it was also her first time hearing about books. Everything she read felt fresh. I held Xueqiu in my arms and looked at it for a long time, and I was a little surprised: "There are several aunts and aunts who are storytellers in this team."
In the past, the storytellers I saw in TV dramas seemed to be all male. Looking at it this way, this storyteller team is quite good.
"These women are trained by the class leader and his wife. They need to be good at oral skills and imitate various female voices before they can tell stories on stage. It's very rare." Xia He explained to the little lady with a smile.
"Hurry up and sit down." Xiao Luolan called to her daughter and asked her to sit next to her. Xiao Qingxue sat next to her mother. She opened the window and could see downstairs. It was already afternoon and people were coming one after another. Got some people who heard about the book.
Xiao Qingxue held her chin with one hand and took a piece of dried fruit from the plate to eat. The snowball in her arms was made fatter by her mother-in-law. It was so heavy when she picked it up that it felt very strong even when she put it on her knees. Feeling hefty, Xiao Qingxue purred Snowball's lovely fur again, and as the voices gradually started to rise, Aniang poured her a cup of tea.
Xiao Qingxue looked at her mother-in-law, her heart filled with a sudden sense of happiness and she felt dizzy.
"What's silly about it?" Xiao Luolan peeled an orange and gave it to her daughter, a little puzzled by her sudden silly smile.
Xiao Qingxue's eyes curled up and she said nothing.
After having a cup of tea, the storytelling team downstairs began to officially appear, and the sound of striking the case was heard again.
"Continuing from this, General Long Wei remembered that poor girl when he first met Li Niang. Unexpectedly, he saw Li Niang again in the temple in a few days."
"One is a mighty young general, and the other is a young lady."
After listening to Xiao Qingxue for a while, she couldn't sit still. She looked around and found that A Niang, Chun Hua, and Xia He were all listening very seriously. It was not good to disturb them. Xiao Qingxue fiddled with the scent of her waist. Xiao Luolan said helplessly: "I told you this morning that you can't get used to listening to books, so you have to follow me."
"I want to stay with grandma." Xiao Qingxue felt like she was listening to audio. She would be more interested if the storytelling team told some ghost stories.
"Can you sit still all afternoon?" Xiao Luolan was still very happy that her daughter said she wanted to accompany her today, but she couldn't bear to restrain her daughter's temper and said: "There are many delicious and fun places on the street of Guifang. If you feel bored, just go down and play with your escort, I will wait for you here." Finally, he asked his daughter to put on a curtain hat to protect her from the wind and cold, and then warned her out of habit: "Don't go too far."
