He bowed and said, "Thank you, cousin."
Xiao Luolan watched her daughter take Xiao Qinghe and the swordsman beside him down, smiling and laughing along the way, and they seemed to get along well.
"I didn't expect Qinghe to come." Xiao Luolan said with a smile on his brows.
"So happy? It seems that the Xiao family is very popular with Madam." Zhou Xu put his arm around Madam's waist and walked back with her.
The soft flesh of Xiao Luolan's waist was scratched by Sect Leader Zhou. She glared at the man and said, "Qinghe came all the way to pay us New Year greetings. Of course we must cherish this sentiment."
"Since you like it, why not let Qinghe live until the end of spring, and then we will take him back." Zhou Xu said thoughtfully.
"Is this possible?" Xiao Luolan hesitated: "He should still be in school. What if he misses his studies?"
"There are also great scholars in Langge. Wouldn't it be nice to invite one to teach him?" Zhou Xu looked at Madam with a smile: "Besides, how did Madam know that Yulang was unwilling?"
"Then let's ask him first. If Qinghe wants to stay, then we can stay." Xiao Luolan said.
Zhou Xu smiled disapprovingly, how could he not want to stay? Besides, if the wife liked it, she would stay.
"By the way." Xiao Luolan stopped and said, "You suddenly said sorry to me this morning. Did you blame him again yesterday? I..."
Zhou Xu said seriously: "This matter has been passed. Madam, please do not mention it again."
It was obvious that this person was unwilling to let go. Last night, Shen Zhi's eyes turned red due to the commotion. Why did she become so verbose? Xiao Luolan angrily twisted Sect Leader Zhou's hand.
Zhou Xu smiled and held it back: "From now on, she will keep the things I give to my wife herself."
"It's not that you were unfair." Xiao Luolan felt Sect Master Zhou's hand hold her hand tightly, and the scorching warmth spread from his palm, as if winter was not so cold anymore.
"That's also a matter between children. Anyway, what I give to Madam belongs to Madam." Zhou Xudao.
This man was so domineering, Xiao Luolan turned around.
Zhou Xu looked at the tip of Madam's pale red ears, smiled slightly, and walked with Madam.
Chapter 159
At night, you can still vaguely hear the sound of firecrackers, and you can also see the fireworks exploding in the sky outside the window. Although they are not as bright as modern ones, there are more bright colors in the starry night, which enhances the lively atmosphere of the New Year and has never dimmed.
Xiao Luolan hadn't seen such a full New Year atmosphere in a long time. During the day, she heard that the God of Wealth was selling on the streets. In the afternoon, she went shopping with Sect Master Zhou and returned home with the smell of firecrackers all over her body.
Because Qinghe was here, he asked the kitchen to fry more side dishes from Jiangnan. He found that the child also liked Biluo shrimp, so Xiao Luolan ate some more for dinner.
Probably the account ban issue was completely over. Zongzhu Zhou regained his love for the two children during the meal. The family was enjoying themselves and the family atmosphere was very harmonious. Xiao Luolan's mood also became happy, and he went to Qinghe's place in the evening. I looked at it and asked if there was anything missing.
As a result, the child sincerely wanted to live in the same place as last time. His daughter didn't meet him in the morning, so she followed the child's wishes and lived in Luofeng Pavilion. But how could Xiao Luolan really let the child live there? It's fine during the day, but once night falls, Luofeng Pavilion is close to an artificial lake, with no shelter, and it's a bamboo house. The first floor is for talking and making tea, and the second floor is the study, just for taking a rest. It's bitterly cold at night in Langge, so if you catch a cold Not good.
So he picked a new three-bedroom courtyard halfway up the mountain, Zhilan Courtyard, facing south. He asked Qinghe and his senior brother to move in together, and asked Xia He to take care of it with two maids and two young men. They then returned to Mingxintang.
After taking a bath, at the end of the day, I was busy until midnight without knowing what I was busy with.
Xiao Luolan was sitting on the embroidery stool, wiping her wet hair with a soft dry cloth. There were charcoal basins placed in the four corners of the room, and there were hot smoke cages at her feet. It was as warm as spring, which made Xiao Luolan feel uncomfortable wearing underwear. She felt cold, but because of the harmonious family, the friendship between her siblings, and her stable life, Xiao Luolan's eyes and eyebrows were filled with contentment and happiness.
The candlelight flickered slightly, and the woman in the bronze mirror raised her eyes and saw Sect Leader Zhou in single clothes, with a crown in his hair and a few scattered snowflakes on his shoulders, as if he had just come in from outside.
"Zhou Lang, where have you been?" The man took away the handkerchief Xiao Luolan was wiping her hair with.
"Uncle Sun intercepted a few letters to Yueyingju, and then I let them go." Zhou Xu took a stool and sat behind Madam, and continued to wipe Madam's hair with a handkerchief. From his point of view, there was a faint fragrance. Coming forward, the lady's collar was slightly open, revealing the white back of her neck, which seemed to glow under the candlelight.
Zhou Xu couldn't help but lower his head and kiss him.
The side of Xiao Luolan's neck felt itchy, and her hot breath and moist kiss made her cheeks turn red. It took her a while to think of what Sect Leader Zhou had just said: "Did the Lu family write to Shen Zhi?" If it was an ordinary correspondence. Or if it's an important official document, Uncle Sun won't stop it.
"Did you open it and read it?" Xiao Luolan asked, wondering why the Lu family was looking for Shenzhi?
"No." Zhou Xu's voice was hoarse, and he kissed along the graceful line of the lady's neck, rubbing her ears and temples together, causing the person in his arms to tremble slightly. Zhou Xu bit the lady's soft ear flesh, and the words went straight into people's hearts.
"It's just to let Shenzhi visit them after the New Year, or to take the opportunity of the New Year to see Shenzhi. I banned her in Xunjiang. They were impatient and wanted to test Shen Zhi's reaction. It just so happened that I also wanted to know about Shen Zhi's reaction. What will we do this time?”
"Some things can only be done once or twice and never done again."
Xiao Luolan was thinking about this and was a little worried. She didn't want the newly reconciled father and son to cause any trouble again. Zhou Xu hugged his wife. He was a military general. His body and physique were extremely outstanding even in the North. He was also born with He had divine power, so he could easily hold his wife in his arms. In the end, he obeyed his will and let her sit on his lap.
Zhou Xu took out the decoration around Madam's neck and saw that the lucky gifts and small jade tokens he had given were hidden in Madam's place, and put them on the dressing table.
The jade plaque with warm small characters was extremely small and exquisite, which looked really cute in Zhou Xu's eyes. The copper coin for the New Year was also small and stained with the scent of the lady's body temperature. The four small characters engraved on it were also very popular with him.
Xiao Luolan followed Sect Leader Zhou's gaze and naturally saw the words on the copper coins. Because she had to take a bath, she put the pottery whistle given by her daughter under her pillow. Jade tokens and lucky gifts were not afraid of water, so she Just brought it with me.
In the shadowy bronze mirror, a tall and mighty middle-aged military general man carefully rubbed the back of the woman's neck, his eyes deepening.
The plain white clothes fell to the ground, and the handkerchief she used to wipe her hair was missing. The woman's crow-green and ink hair fell vertically, barely covering her amorous feelings.
A dark wheat-colored arm was full of muscles, strong and strong, and forcefully circled the woman's slender waist, making the woman face her.
Xiao Luolan's whole face turned red. It was obvious that she and Sect Master Zhou had done the most intimate things, but she still felt shy.
Zhou Xu looked at his wife with bottomless eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed.
Finally, he lowered his head and took a deep breath.
The fragrant aroma filled Zhou Xu's sense of smell, and extreme warmth and softness surrounded him. He seemed to hear the madam's heartbeat, which was a bit fast. The madam's breathing became rapid, and occasionally there was an inaudible nasal sound, like feathers. Tickling the tip of his heart, making his brain congested and his blood boiling.
You might as well give in more than when you go to the battlefield.
The man's arms gradually tightened.
Xiao Luolan bit her lip lightly, beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, her eyes were misty like spring water, even her breath was hot, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
The color is like a spring dawn flower, even more gorgeous than a peony.
Zhou Xu finally raised his head, just in time to see such spring scenery, his mouth became even drier.
Xiao Luolan noticed the gaze of Sect Leader Zhou and blushed even more.
Zhou Xuxiao looked at Madam, feeling that he was already drunk, but his movements were unambiguous. He pressed his big palm on the back of Madam's neck and kissed her, passionately and with a force that could not be refused.
Xiao Luolan was almost out of breath. She always felt that Sect Master Zhou tonight was like a wolf that had seen its flesh.
"Please be gentler." The woman frowned and complained softly, her eyes still red, panting with a mixture of anger and shame.
"I haven't been near Madam for a few days, and I'm thinking a lot." Zhou Xu stared at Madam with squinted eyes. As long as the two of them were alone at night, his words were always so explicit and straightforward, and he didn't understand the meaning of subtlety, which often made the shy Madam With his face red and ears warm, Zhou Xu was also keen to express his love, wishing that his wife would miss him every day.
Zhou Xu approached his wife and kissed the side of her face.
Xiao Luolan was so embarrassed that she wanted to reach out to cover herself with the clothes on the ground, thinking that it would not be too late to go to her sleeping place, but her wrists were caught by Zongzhu Zhou with one hand, and they were gently held back, unable to move. Zongzhu Zhou's calloused fingers lightly scratched the small hollow of her lower back. Xiao Luolan leaned forward subconsciously, and then found out with shame and anger that Zongzhu Zhou was so unhappy at the moment, with a smirk on his face.
Zhou Xu liked his wife's embrace. He raised his eyebrows and made use of it.
The indoor screen reflected blurry shadows, the candlelight flickered, and the mood of spring was warm.
Zhou Xu hugged his wife. The thin waist of the woman in his arms gave him an uncontrollable desire to control. As the flames rose higher and higher, he realized that the wife should be his. Zhou Xu looked at him with his head lowered. The lady on the shoulder, her jade arms were loosely hugging his neck, her eyebrows seemed to be frowning but not frowning, her expression was affectionate, her nasal voice was rapid, her eyes and cheeks were flushed, her eyes were a little absent-minded, and there were faint traces of water.
I can't seem to bear this great joy.
Zhou Xu closed his eyes, kissed his wife's lips, and didn't let her move. He acted wildly.
Xiao Luolan's eyelashes trembled slightly and she looked at Sect Leader Zhou with wide eyes. She was blushing all over. She wanted to say something, but all her words were blocked.
After a long time, the two of them went to the bed to rest.
Xiao Luolan was very sleepy and felt a little sullen in her heart.
Zhou Xu slept sideways next to his wife, his right arm resting on her waist, his big palm naturally falling on her belly, and the dry and warm heat spread to her through a thin layer of obscene clothes.
Zhou Xu rubbed his wife's face with the tip of his nose: "Are you angry?"
Xiao Luolan pursed her lips. Although she had cleaned up just now, she still had the illusion of being full. She had clearly promised that, but this person slipped up again at the critical moment. It was difficult not to make Xiao Luolan suspect that he did it on purpose. , since she and Sect Master Zhou are husband and wife, it is normal to have fun in London, but some necessary measures must be taken. She does not want any accidents to happen.
"Don't worry, madam. I drank the herbal medicine when I came here. It was specially made by Li Fan. I'll be fine." Zhou Xu held the madam's hand and comforted her softly.
Xiao Luolan felt better after hearing this.
In fact, she also enjoyed it in Dunlun. Thinking of this, Xiao Luolan's cheeks warmed slightly. She thought of a compromise: "How about you be more restrained in the future."
This way there is no need to drink cold medicine.
That cold medicine sounds like it's very harmful to the body.
Zhou Xu kissed his wife's fingertips and said with a sullen smile, "No."
Xiao Luolan was even more worried. She yawned and leaned on Zongzhu Zhou. Zongzhu Zhou was really warm in the winter, like a stove. When she has time, she should ask Dr. Li what the cold medicine is for. What to do, Xiao Luolan thought vaguely.
"Is Madam asleep?" Zhou Xu asked when he saw that Madam closed her eyes sleepily without saying a few words.
"It's getting late. Tomorrow, be careful, Qingxue and the others are coming to pay their respects. Let's have a rest early." Xiao Luolan thought about tomorrow's events and already felt busy. The younger members of the Zhou family would also come to her to pay New Year's greetings. New Year's money, no wonder Grandma Cui said she was busy during the New Year, and there is a child like Qinghe... She will also give New Year's money tomorrow.
Unknowingly, I was still very sleepy and fell asleep.
Zhou Xu looked down at his wife sleeping peacefully in his arms. He gently touched his face with his big palm, and then took out the New Year's copper coins from his neck. The jade plaque also fell out, with the word Qian Ying. It emits a gleaming light, reflecting the candlelight in the room.
Zhou Xu rubbed the four small characters on the copper coin.
Worry-free every year.
How can his wife be free from worries after a hundred years?
Zhou Xu closed his eyes and looked calm.
Chapter 160
Zhou Shenzhi looked at the letter in his hand. The sky was dark and the candlelight in the study was bright.
The letter was sent by Uncle Sun last night. The person who sent the letter was his uncle's confidant, the chief steward of the Lu family. He had been arranged to stay in the guest room by Uncle Sun. The content of the letter was also very simple. In fact, he came last night He had already read it once, but when he wanted to reply, he took it out again and read it again.
Putting aside some greetings, the general idea is that his father cut out Peng Hui's tongue when he arrived at Xunjiang River and left. His uncle's family had prepared wine and food, and his grandfather went out to greet him in person. However, his father did not go to Lu. Mansion.
After all, they were in-laws. My uncle wanted to take a boat to save his father, but the waterway in the Xunjiang River was blocked, so he had to return.
No matter how tactfully his uncle said it, Zhou Shenzhi understood that his uncle was saying that they were trapped in Xunjiang by their father and could not get out at all.
The wording of the letter later contained some cautious probing, saying that I couldn't visit him this year, and asked him how many times he would visit Xunjiang for the New Year. My uncle and aunt were well prepared, and my grandfather also missed him. Siheng and Siyuan invited him. A troupe that is good at music, dance and various operas was waiting for him to come and see him. Knowing that he loved martial arts, the Lu Mansion even built an extra polo field where he could play ball with Siheng and others on horseback...
Zhou Shenzhi felt a little bitter after reading it. His grandfather and uncle's family were naturally good to him and they thought of him all the time, and he was not a heartless person.
But in Zhou Shenzhi's opinion, his father's punishment was treated lightly. After all, what his grandfather did to his family really hurt his mother's face. How could he hurt his mother's heart again now?
From beginning to end, he felt guilty towards his mother.
