Xiao Qingxue's eyes lit up. She was lively by nature and liked crowds of people. When she heard her words, she really wanted to kiss her good grandma.
"Then I'll go down and play. I'll come back after playing." Xiao Qingxue slipped out of the door with four guards.
Hunter is dressed in red, bright and lively.
Not long after, there was a sound from the next room. Xiao Luolan was moved. She opened the window wider, then looked at the window next door. She found that the woman in black robe whom she met yesterday had her hands on the window sill and her head was looking towards her. On the side, the face half covered by the hood revealed a chin, and the corners of the slightly drooped lips on both sides were a bit cold and stern, making it difficult to get close.
Xiao Luolan lifted the fence and wanted to say hello to her.
She really likes Li Niang’s stories, and she really likes the people who wrote these stories.
Good afternoon, isn't it too simple? She should be that lady. Xiao Luolan remembered what Sect Master Zhou told her about Jin Ben. At that time, Sect Master Zhou only said a few words to Jin Ben's mother, and even more Most of them are talking about Jin Ben. If she is not Jin Ben's mother, it doesn't matter. Xiao Luolan just wants to make friends with her.
"What are you doing with the curtain?" The woman in black robe said in a soft voice without any emotion, "If Madam wants to see me, I can go directly to Madam."
Chunhua frowned slightly and stood beside her mistress.
Xiao Luolan lifted the curtain wider, looked directly at her, her eyes were soft and translucent, curved her lips and smiled: "I can't see you clearly through a layer of gauze, so I opened the curtain wider." , if you want to come over to my house, just come over again."
Xiao Luolan replied seriously to the woman in black robe.
This time the woman in black robe only looked at the storyteller in the audience and stopped talking. The corners of her lips turned downward, looking coldly.
Jin Ben looked at his mistress. He knew this person. He had never met her before. Yesterday he met her for the first time. Jin Ben knew her temper. It was not that she didn't want to see his mistress, but... She rarely communicates with others and doesn't know how to get along with others, so she seems a bit unhuman, but she definitely doesn't dislike this mistress.
But... the mistress is indeed as Cui Langjun said, she is a person who makes people feel like spring breeze when getting along with her.
Jin Ben took off his hood. Under the black iron visor, he saw a pair of light gray eyes that were different from ordinary people. His hair was neatly tied up. He was about to say a few words to lighten the atmosphere.
The woman in black robe suddenly turned her head and said harshly: "Who told you to take off your hat? Put it on quickly!"
Jin Ben had long been used to his mother being moody towards him. He was about to listen to his mother and put his hood back on as usual, but for some reason he suddenly thought of what Jieduzhi's wife said to her.
Jin Ben thought for a moment and said, "If you put on the hat, you can't see my mother clearly."
The woman in black robe was slightly stunned.
Just when Jin Ben thought that Aniang was touched by his filial piety, Aniang suddenly took action and buckled his hat again.
The woman in black robe said fiercely: "Shut up, don't talk."
Jin Benao made a sound and stood straight behind A Niang.
Xiao Luolan couldn't help laughing. She had just seen it clearly. When Jin Ben was buttoning his hat, Jin Ben bent down and lowered his head to make it easier for his mother to button it. .
When the woman in black robe heard the laughter, her back became straighter and straighter, her head raised high, and her lips that had been hidden under the hood pursed into a thin arc, but the laughter in her ears was not as full as what she had heard before. The woman in black robe couldn't help but look over at the sarcasm.
I found that Mrs. Jieduzhi just smiled simply. Her face seemed to contain all the warmth of the winter. It was incredibly warm and soft, as if she smiled knowingly just seeing a cute little thing.
The woman in black robe turned her head and looked at the storytellers in the audience, her whole body as cold as snow melting away.
Xiao Luolan stopped smiling and found that the window was suddenly closed. She leaned forward and looked at it for a while. Before she could figure it out, she heard a knock on the door.
Jin Ben knocked on the door and let A Niang in after the door opened.
Xiao Luolan saw Jin Ben's mother standing in a corner of the room, looking a little apathetic, so she asked Chunhua and the others to leave first.
When there were only two people left in the room, Xiao Luolan took off the curtain. In fact, she was a little hesitant when she took it off, because Jin Ben's mother seemed to particularly dislike others taking off their hats. When she saw Jin Ben's mother, she also put her down. Xiao Luolan finally calmed down.
When she saw Jin Ben's mother, she smiled. The woman's hair hidden under the hood already had a few strands of silver on her temples. There was a deep cut between her eyebrows. There was no big expression on her face, and the corners of her lips were lowered. Even with so many shortcomings, they still can't hide the smooth face of the woman, and the aloof coldness in her eyebrows.
"My name is Jin Hewan." The woman in black robe looked at Madam Jiedushi and said firmly.
"My name is Xiao Luolan. Mrs. Jin can just call me Lan Niang." Xiao Luolan asked her to sit down and sat opposite her.
After the introduction, the two fell silent again. Xiao Luolan realized that she had little social interaction on weekdays, and she didn't know how to make friends here. She felt a little worried.
"Don't pick off the curtain next time." Jin Hewan stared at the tea in front of her and repeated her words, paranoidly like a warning.
"People who are too beautiful never end well."
Chapter 143
Jin Hewan listened to the voice of the storyteller in the lobby downstairs. Since the story was written by herself, she almost only listened to a short paragraph to know what was going to be said next, and most of her attention was focused on the Jiedushi's wife opposite.
From her angle, she could see the plump and pretty woman's hands resting on the table. They were clean and not dyed, and the delicate and soft backs of her hands glowed with a soft light.
As soon as Jin He finished speaking, a subtle and uncontrollable regret and annoyance suddenly surged in her heart, mixed with some stubbornness that she couldn't explain. She turned her head slightly and sat up straighter.
Her words were completely unnecessary for the woman in front of her. Instead, she said them with a curse, which was no longer the same as before.
The face of the woman in black robe became even colder and gloomier. Anyway, she seemed to have never said anything kind in her life. It hurt both others and herself. It was right if she didn't like it. Jin Hewan squeezed the tea cup in her hand, and the expression on her face became more and more serious. Indifferent.
"I understand, thank you Wan Niang for reminding me."
Xiao Luolan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and thanked her. Since she came to this world, she has never been less worried about her daughter. No matter where she goes, she always has her daughter with enough people around her, so she is worried that someone will bully her. Now Someone actually expressed concern for her like an elder sister.
Although Wan Niang's words were a bit inappropriate, she obviously had no malice. Xiao Luolan took it as Wan Niang's kind reminder to her, and Xiao Luolan's smile became gentler.
Jin Hewan looked up at Xiao Luolan and saw that she had no grudges and was still smiling softly with a good temper.
"You don't think I'm talking too much." Jin Hewan looked away awkwardly.
"No, I don't have anyone to talk to in the house on weekdays. I'm very happy that Wan Niang can talk to me." Xiao Luolan made plans in her heart for a long time and finally said it out. She is not a social person, but Wan Niang Mom seems to be even less social than she is...
The marks between Jin Hewan's brows were a little looser, and she didn't believe it. Who was the woman in front of her? She bluntly said that as long as she sent an invitation, all housewives from aristocratic families in Youzhou would flock to her.
However, Jieduzhi’s wife has been in Langge for so long, and it seems that she has never heard of any banquets held by her. I used to think that this lady looked down on Youzhou Beidi... I want to ask, but I don’t want to talk about it, and think about it. After a while, I gave up the idea.
Xiao Luolan took a sip of tea and inadvertently pushed the refreshments on the table towards Wan Niang.
Jin Hewan noticed this action. After a while, he folded the handkerchief in the palm of his left hand, pinched a piece of red bean cake with his right hand, took a bite and ate slowly, chewing slowly, without saying a word, and drank another half cup of tea. Finally, Jin Hewan pushed the plum blossom cake on the table towards the Jieduzhi's wife with a sullen face.
Xiao Luolan ate a piece of plum blossom cake and said lightly: "I won't come tomorrow for the time being. After Laba Festival, I will come to Tianxia Tea House again. If I am absent for one day tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to connect to "The Legend of Li Niang" the day after tomorrow. .”
Jin Hewan was silent for a while, and finally said: "When you come the day after tomorrow, I will tell you the plot of tomorrow."
Xiao Luolan immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Wan Niang."
"You're welcome." Jin He said politely.
Xiao Luolan listened quietly to the sound of storytellers downstairs. After a while, she heard footsteps going upstairs. She looked outside the door. Sure enough, the door was opened after a while, and her daughter went up with a small gasp. building.
"Auntie!" Xiao Qingxue shouted, her cheeks a little red and excited.
"Why are you running?" Xiao Luolan waved her daughter over and found that Wan Niang had put on a hood at some point and hid herself tightly.
"A'Niang, who is she?" Xiao Qingxue sat next to A Niang and asked curiously.
"She is a friend of my mother's. Your name is Aunt Jin." Xiao Luolan took out a handkerchief to wipe her daughter's sweat. She didn't know how to play, and she didn't know what happened. She was sweating in the winter.
"Hello Aunt Jin." Xiao Qingxue greeted politely.
The woman in black robe seemed stunned for a moment, then responded in a very soft voice and said hurriedly: "I'm leaving first."
Xiao Luolan didn't understand why Wan Niang left in such a hurry. As soon as she stood up, Wan Niang closed the door and left. After thinking about it, she opened the door again. In addition to the guards, she saw people wearing black robes at the end of the second floor. Jin Ben and Wan Niang went down the stairs in the other direction.
"Mom, why didn't I know you had a friend named Aunt Jin?" Xiao Qingxue held Snowball in her arms, stood at the railing and looked at the woman in black robe: "And who is next to Aunt Jin?"
"My new friend, he is Aunt Jin's son." Xiao Luolan turned around and said, "Tell me, why are you running up here in such a hurry?"
Xiao Qingxue held Aniang's arm and said with a smile: "Aniang, I met Amu on the street. He told me that Daddy went to Prince Bao's Mansion. Can we go and have a look too?"
"Didn't you go see it with Shen Zhi last time?" Xiao Luolan said.
"It's different this time. This time my father brought people there." Xiao Qingxue shook her arm: "Go, go, I haven't seen my father for a long time and I want to go see him." To see him."
Obviously she wanted to watch the fun, Xiao Luolan knew that her daughter loved to join in the fun, but she also thought that Zongzhu Zhou had gone out early and returned late these days, and her daughter loved to sleep in, so she would naturally return to her yard when it got dark at night. The number of times I have seen Sect Leader Zhou and Shen Zhi has indeed become somewhat sparse recently.
"Then we can only watch from outside and not disturb them from doing their work." Xiao Luolan said.
"Promise to be obedient!" Xiao Qingxue made a salute.
Xiao Luolan was amused by her daughter's quirky appearance and took the snowball in her arms: "Okay, let's go."
The group of people took a carriage and went to Prince Bao's Mansion. Guifang was still some distance away from Prince Bao's Mansion. Xiao Qingxue got off the carriage and bought a few bunches of candied haws, preparing to share some spring flowers with Xia He and her sisters. Four or five candied haws were held together, like holding a handful of bright red flowers, three cents per bunch, a total of fifteen cents. Xiao Qingxue grabbed the flowers and fumbled for the money bag at her waist.
"Me." A familiar voice came from the side, with a hint of nervousness: "I'll pay."
Xiao Qingxue took a look and found that it was Tuoba Amu. She showed her face and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to some in a few days."
After Tuoba Amu paid the money, he saw the carriage and Zhou's guards not far away. He held the knife at his waist and said, "Qingxue, I found that two men in black robes are following you and your mistress."
Xiao Qingxue knew who it was as soon as she heard it: "Haha, don't worry about it. One of them is Auntie Jin's new friend. I call her Auntie Jin. The other one is Auntie Jin's son. By the way, Amu, I and My mother is going to visit Prince Bao’s Mansion, will you go?”
Tuoba Amu felt that the figure of the man in black robe was familiar before, and his guess was confirmed by the words of Miss Xiao. Originally, he wanted to intercept him, but in the end he couldn't control himself and walked towards Miss Xiao. I want to have a few more words with her.
"Amu, are you going?" Xiao Qingxue noticed that Tuoba Amu seemed to be even more indifferent in front of her, and asked him why he didn't reply.
Tuoba Amu looked at Madam Xiao, never daring to look too closely at Madam Xiao's face, and lowered her eyes: "Go."
Xiao Qingxue led Amu towards the carriage: "By the way, Amu, why haven't I seen you in the past few days?"
"I have been living in the Hutou Army camp these days." Tuoba Amu's voice was soft, and no one could hear the sadness hidden in his words. In fact, he told a small lie. He was already at the military camp outside the city. He had lived there for a long time, but during his absence, Mrs. Xiao did not notice his disappearance.
Tuoba Amu's heart was twisted in pain.
Yes, she is the noble daughter of heaven. There are so many people around her. Without him, there will be other people around her. The sixteenth generation of the Zhou family, Qi Jiujiu, Qi Jiujiu, she is so talented in literature. Her brother Qi Yiming, her disciple Xiaoyaozi, her tribe Jiang Da and others, her friend and master Cui Langjun, as well as the gentlemen and scholars from aristocratic families who are interested in her in the secrets of Langge City...
There are so many people around her, and there will be more young heroes, talented men and women in the future, so who can he be?
Tuoba Amu was a little reluctant when he thought of this. His elder brother had asked him to take over Tuoba's power. After all, Tuoba was his tribe. Because of the battle at Huiyi, everyone in the tribe respected him. Of course he could be compared to Tuoba in the tribe. Being comfortable in Hutou Camp, Tuoba Amu doesn't want to be like this. If he has always been in that position, always a vassal, then how can he get closer to his sweetheart.
He would rather use Huiyi's military merits in exchange for leaving the Tuoba tribe and entering the reserve camp of Xuanjia Camp, which is also the Hutou Camp.
He is now the captain of the Jia-zi cavalry. If he can advance further, he can be promoted to the Xuanjia Camp.
But if he rises high, will Miss Xiao have him in her eyes? Tuoba Amu followed Mrs. Xiao, watching her get on the carriage, watching her share the candied haws, and watching her lying at the window smiling carefree at him.
"Amu, come here."
Tuoba Amu walked over with his hands and feet disobedient as if he was bewitched.
"Here, it's for you." Xiao Qingxue handed him a candied haws. Their carriage had stopped on the side of the road so as not to disturb passers-by.
Tuoba Amu glanced at the four people in the car, including the mistress. Madam Xiao bought five skewers before he came. It is very likely that the extra skewer was the one that Madam Xiao wanted to eat more. .
Tuoba Amu held the candied haws, hating his own clumsy tongue at this moment.
"Eat, let's wait until we finish eating before leaving." Xiao Qingxue said casually, completely unaware of the deafening turmoil in someone's heart.
Xiao Luolan looked at Tuoba Amu outside the window and found that his dim light blue eyes suddenly lit up when his daughter called him, and then he walked over eagerly.
