The next day.
When Luo Qingzhou woke up, it was already past midnight.
The sun is shining brightly, falling on the window lattice.
The sound of Xiaodie whispering to drive away the sparrows came from the small courtyard.
Luo Qingzhou opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the beautiful curtain above his head, thinking about the lingering love last night, as if he was dreaming.
Why do I fall asleep unconsciously every time after making love?
Same as the last wedding.
It was clear that after everything was over, he should be talking softly, so as to express sympathy and comfort, but he was so dizzy that he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Is it because the body's bones are too weak, or... is there some other reason?
The girl's faint fragrance still lingers in the air.
But the place next to it had been deserted and there were no traces left.
"Sir, are you awake?"
Suddenly, Xiaodie's soft call came from outside the window.
The sparrows were chirping in the small courtyard, making it very noisy.
She was afraid of disturbing the young master's dream, so she drove away the pesky sparrows, but she was also afraid that something would happen to the young master if he slept for so long, so she shouted.
Luo Qingzhou came to his senses and responded: "Wake up."
Hearing this, Xiaodie hurriedly said: "Then slave girl, go get the young master some hot water to wash his face."
After that, he went to the kitchen.
Luo Qingzhou lay on the bed for another moment before getting up and dressing.
Xiaodie helped him wash his face and brush his teeth.
Then I went to bring breakfast.
The breakfast here is much richer than that in Chengguofu.
Steamed buns with eggs, vegetables and white rice porridge.
There was also a plate of snacks.
Luo Qingzhou was sitting in the small courtyard eating breakfast, feeling a little distracted.
Xiaodie was pulling weeds in the corner next to her, turning her head to peek at him from time to time, her eyes twinkling but she hesitated to speak.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I won't eat you."
Xiaodie blushed and hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Master, last night...last night you and the lady slept in the same room?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned: "Did you see it?"
Xiaodie blushed and said a little shyly: "I didn't see it, I just... I just heard it."
"heard it?"
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched.
"Um."
Xiaodie lowered her head, not embarrassed to say anything more.
Last night, she had just fallen asleep in the room next to her when she heard the sound in the young master's room.
The wooden bed has been squeaking for a long time...
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved and he quickly asked: "Xiaodie, were you in your room last night? Did you see anyone?"
Xiaodie shook her head: "No, I have been on the bed the whole time."
Luo Qingzhou said: "What about this morning? When did you get up? Did you see... someone go out of my room?"
Xiaodie still shook her head: "No, when the slave got up, the young master was the only one sleeping in the room. The young lady left at some point."
After saying that, he whispered again: "Sir, the young lady may be shy, so when she comes and when she leaves, she is very quiet."
Luo Qingzhou frowned and fell into thinking.
Unexpectedly, Xiaodie said again: "Master, when I got up to open the courtyard door, I saw a figure suddenly walking into the garden in front. It looked like...like..."
"Like who?"
Luo Qingzhou asked quickly, feeling nervous.
Xiaodie glanced at the door of the small courtyard and whispered: "It looks like Sister Bailing. Sister Bailing may have been waiting outside for the young lady last night."
Luo Qingzhou's pupils shrank and he said no more.
After dinner.
He returned to the house, threw away the clutter in his mind, and sat down at the desk in front of the window to read.
Things look a little complicated.
But there was no need for him to waste time thinking about it.
The top priority is to make yourself stronger first.
Otherwise, not to mention the beautiful Miss Qin who looks down on him, even the woman who drives the carriage and the maids in the mansion look down on him.
No matter in which era, the weak are looked down upon.
The weak have no dignity whatsoever.
If you want dignity, you can only rely on your own efforts!
Xiaodie put away the dishes, told him, then went out and went to find Qiu'er and Xiaotao to study.
That girl is working hard too.
Luo Qingzhou read a book for a while, then returned to bed and practiced the inner strength and mental skills for half a day.
Finished lunch at noon.
After Xiaodie left, he continued to beat the tree trunks in the courtyard to temper the skin membrane.
The fists, arms, elbows, back, abdomen, legs, feet, and even the neck are all exerting force one by one, and the strength is getting stronger and stronger.
"boom!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The big tree, whose bark had cracked, swayed slightly under the violent impact, making a dull sound.
Although my whole body was in pain from the shock, I gradually felt refreshed through constant tempering.
He increased his strength and became more violent!
The heat in the body is constantly flowing through the various acupoints in the body, passing through the flesh and blood, moisturizing the skin that is about to hurt.
Those skins are gradually undergoing transformation as they continue to crack and repair...
The sun quietly fell from the sky to the horizon.
It was already evening when Luo Qingzhou stopped in the sweat all over his body.
It's getting dark.
Xiao Diefang came back with a sumptuous meal, and then happily told him about learning embroidery and playing the flute today.
But in the end, she pouted her lips and said: "Sister Qiu'er laughed at me today because my mouth is small and not suitable for playing the flute. Sister Xiaotao argued with her, saying that I can play better because I have a small mouth. Then everyone laughed together, slave I don’t know what they are laughing at..."
"Let's learn guzheng or pipa from now on."
Luo Qingzhou gave suggestions while eating.
The little girl said stubbornly: "No, I must learn to play the flute well and not embarrass the master."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said nothing more.
After taking a shower at night.
He continued to practice his inner strength and mental skills in his room.
When he was about to go to sleep, Xiaodie came in wearing pajamas, got into his quilt, warmed his feet, and whispered about the chores in the house that she had heard from the maids.
"Sister Xiaotao said that the second young lady is very powerful. She can play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can do everything. She is just not in good health and always gets sick..."
"This servant wanted to help the young master ask about the eldest lady, but after hearing this, everyone's expressions changed and they refused to say anything..."
"I heard that the eldest son is very prestigious in Kyoto..."
"Qiu'er said that distinguished guests from Yujing go out to the city to hunt every day..."
Luo Qingzhou held her delicate and delicate girl's feet and listened to her talk non-stop. He was thinking about something and did not interrupt.
I do not know how long it has been.
The little girl's voice gradually stopped and she fell asleep unconsciously.
Luo Qingzhou thought about cultivation for a while and closed his eyes.
Outside the window, the silver moon is cold.
Chengguofu.
Luo Yannian was still busy in the study.
The eldest lady Wang brought the freshly made snacks and hot tea and quietly left.
When he walked to the dark corner of the corridor outside, a figure suddenly flashed out from behind the big tree next to him.
The second steward, Wang Cheng.
The two were separated by a vermilion railing.
Wang looked away, her face as dark as water.
Wang Cheng bowed and whispered: "I have sent someone to keep an eye on him. According to the rules, the boy has just gotten married and it will take a month before he can go to worship his mother outside the city. At that time, we can take action again."
Wang's eyes were gloomy: "Yu'er is at a critical moment, don't leave any clues."
Wang Cheng whispered: "Madam, don't worry, there are wild beasts in the mountains and forests outside the city, and there are even man-eating monsters in the black wood forest. If he died there without any bones, no one would suspect it. Even if someone suspected it, There is no evidence."
Wang looked at him, narrowed her eyes and said, "Is this person reliable?"
Wang Cheng said respectfully: "They are all criminals who committed human lives outside. The villain did not show up and asked Wang Pu to find them. When Wang Pu came into contact with those people, he also covered his face, and it was at night..."
Wang didn't speak any more and continued to walk forward.
After walking through the corridor, under the illumination of the moonlight and lights, the ferocious color on her face quickly receded and became calm again.
