In the sixth year of Zhenguan, March 24th, Chen hour.
After Qin Ming returned to his residence from Xinglong Mountain yesterday, he fell asleep.
It was only then that he slowly woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Qin Ming saw the medicine fairy Baili Zhi lying on the edge of the bed with her head bent.
Qin Ming's heart warmed up when he saw this, and he couldn't help but think of the pink figure he saw for the first time when he traveled to the Tang Dynasty.
I don’t know, how is my Wan’er doing these days?
When you sleep, do you miss me?
Thinking like this, Qin Ming reached out and touched Baili Zhi's fair cheek, calling softly:
"Zhi'er? Zhi'er?"
Baili Zhi woke up from a deep sleep and saw Qin Ming waking up. She smiled slightly and her eyes instantly narrowed into crescent moons.
"Qin Lang, you're awake."
With that said, Baili Zhi was about to get up.
It's just that the long period of sitting on her knees last night made the blood flow in her legs somewhat unsmooth.
Therefore, Baili Zhi held the edge of the bed with both hands and fell towards Qin Ming's bed halfway up.
"ah!"
Qin Ming had quick eyesight and quick hands. The moment Baili Zhi fell, he held Baili Zhi's chest with one hand and held her slender waist with the other.
Then, Qin Ming instinctively carried her to the bed with both hands.
In an instant, the panic on Baili Zhi's face turned into shyness.
But before Bai Lizhi could say anything, the bedroom door was pushed open.
"Sir, I heard your cry just now. Did something happen?"
Baili Zhi's delicate body trembled when she heard this, and she immediately buried her head in Qin Ming's chest.
Qin Ming turned his head in confusion, and then saw a girl in a green dress looking at him with wide eyes.
Qin Ming rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"How about you look closer so you can see clearly."
Luluo, whose face was flushed, was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that Qin Ming was speaking sarcastically.
So, she quickly bowed and saluted.
"Excuse me, the student didn't see anything."
After saying that, Luluo immediately turned around and went out, closing the door behind her.
Baili Zhi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the door closing.
Then, she bit her lip lightly, reached out and pinched Qin Ming's waist gently, and said in a muffled voice:
"It's all your fault. How will the slave family see anyone in the future?"
Qin Ming pretended to be in pain.
"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts. Please show mercy to my wife, Baili."
When Baili Zhi heard the name Qin Ming, she felt ashamed and sweet.
The movements of the hands also changed from pinching to kneading.
She bit her lip.
"Nonsense, who is your wife?"
Women in love always mean what they say, and Qin Ming knows this best.
Qin Ming held Baili Zhi's head in his hands, raised his head and kissed it.
"Of course it's you, Zhi'er."
Two quarters of an hour later.
Qin Ming, who had taken advantage of everything, walked out of the room with satisfaction.
As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, Qin Ming saw two familiar figures.
When Master Song Muqing saw Qin Ming coming out, he quickly gave him a blessing and said:
"I have met Mr. Lang."
"My servant pays homage to the young master."
Qin Ming had just been at Baili Zhi's place and heard about Song Muqing and Xiaodie.
Looking at the dusty master and servant, Qin Ming swallowed his reproachful words as soon as they reached his lips.
"Did you have a good rest last night?"
Song Muqing, who was dressed as a scholar, his eyes lit up, he sent a blessing to Qin Ming and said:
"I'm thinking of you, sir. I'm resting well."
"Mr. Lang, you just got up, haven't you washed up yet?"
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Song Muqing smiled slightly and ordered the "book boy" beside him:
"Xiaodie, go and boil some hot water and bring it over."
"Yes, madam."
Qin Ming bowed slightly and said:
"Good work."
Xiaodie paused for a moment, then left quickly.
Qin Ming looked at Song Muqing at the bottom of the steps, thinking about what to say.
There were urgent footsteps at the entrance of the courtyard.
Qin Ming followed the sound and saw Lu Luo leading Zi Shu and Yuchi Baolin, who was wearing bright light armor, walking in.
After Yuchi Baolin saw Qin Ming in a green shirt, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He strode past Zi Shu and laughed:
"Brother-in-law, you are finally awake."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the courtyard seemed to have been cast a restraining spell.
Song Muqing, dressed as a scholar, trembled, stumbled, and almost fell down.
Qin Ming looked at Yuchi Baolin, whose face was glowing red, and said blankly:
"Brother-in-law?"
Yuchi Baolin took a step forward, patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and said:
"Yes, brother-in-law. My father has promised to betroth my little sister to you in front of all the soldiers of the Youwu Guard."
"How are you? Are you happy? Surprised?"
Qin Ming swallowed, and a beautiful figure with red lips and white teeth appeared in his mind.
"Brother Yuchi, are you kidding Qin?"
Yuchi Baolin glanced sideways at Qin Ming and said in a feigned displeasure:
"Brother-in-law, how can you say that! It is a matter of life for my little sister, how could my father make a joke about it!"
Speaking of this, Yuchi Baolin came close to Qin Ming's ear and lowered her voice and said:
"My father asked me to tell you that he has investigated clearly. On the Lantern Festival, someone saw you hugging my little sister."
"My father also said that your marriage will soon spread throughout the army."
"If you dare to start chaos and give up, my father will die with you."
"In short, you have to agree to this marriage, and you have to agree to it even if you don't."
"So, brother-in-law, please be careful about what you say and do next!"
Qin Ming lowered his head and glanced at the green purse around his waist, feeling bitter in his heart.
In his eyes, Yuchi Wanning is a very special woman.
She has the bookishness of a lady and the free and easy character of a child of the world.
Unlike other women in the boudoir who never leave the house, they like to dress up as men and take their maids out for a walk.
Apart from that, she is very beautiful and has a lot of material.
Every time he sees her scholarly outfit, Qin Ming is reminded of Zhao Min, played by a certain Taiwanese star.
Who wouldn’t like such a woman?
But....
Qin Ming touched the purse on his waist, turned to look at Yuchi Baolin, and sighed.
"Yu Chi is indeed one of the rare women in the world. If he could marry her home, Qin would be very willing."
When Yuchi Baolin heard this, she looked happy, patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and said:
"You're a wise boy."
"My little sister is not only beautiful, but she is also the most talented woman in Chang'an. If she can marry him, it will be like smoke rising from the ancestral grave of your old Qin family."
Qin Ming nodded and agreed with Yuchi Baolin's statement.
But then, Qin Ming changed the subject, shook his head and sighed:
"But Qin is already engaged."
"Hey, I'm afraid I'm going to let down the good intentions of Chief Yuchi."
