When the sky is dark.
Luo Qingzhou returned to Meixiang Xiaoyuan with the summons in hand.
Just before leaving, he asked for two days' leave from the two men and decided to sleep well for two nights to recharge his batteries so that he could intensify his efforts to find treasures at the bottom of the lake during the day.
If there is no treasure, just treat it as cultivation.
If there really is a treasure, that would be even better.
The soul returns to its original state.
The little girl next to him was white and tender, delicate and soft, curled up in his arms like a kitten, with her two cute little feet placed on his thighs.
Luo Qingzhou touched her, then hugged her and fell asleep.
It will be bright soon.
The sun shines in through the window lattice.
The chirping of birds sounded in the courtyard.
Not long after Luo Qingzhou fell asleep, he felt his nose itchy. After sneezing twice, he opened his eyes drowsily.
Only then did he realize that the person in his arms was holding a lock of hair and scratching his nose.
"Sir, get up soon."
When Xiaodie saw him waking up, she quickly whispered.
Luo Qingzhou was really sleepy, so he stroked her delicate and smooth shoulders and said, "Let's sleep a little longer. It's okay today anyway."
As soon as he finished speaking, looking at the little girl's blushing face and troubled eyes, he suddenly woke up and sat up: "You want to go to the eldest lady?"
The little girl nodded shyly: "Yes."
Luo Qingzhou woke up instantly.
On the stool beside the bed, there was a soft white cloth, which was dyed bright red.
That was the innocence the little girl dedicated to him last night.
"Can you not go?"
Luo Qingzhou begged.
The little girl flattened her mouth and blinked her eyelashes, feeling a little aggrieved.
"go!"
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to hesitate anymore and immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed, saying: "Get dressed quickly and go early. Maybe you won't meet anyone else on the way. Maybe Bai Ling and Xia Chan are not here."
This piece of cloth represents the little girl's innocence.
So she definitely wants more people in the house to know, especially the eldest lady who is the head wife.
Only when the eldest lady sees this piece of cloth with her own eyes and acknowledges it, will her future position around him be legal and will be recognized by other people in the house.
Otherwise, everyone might talk about her behind her back or doubt her.
Especially, if she gets pregnant in the future, she will not attract gossip.
So this rule and process is very important, very necessary and indispensable to this little girl.
This is also a kind of respect and protection for her.
Although...a little shameful.
Luo Qingzhou finished washing up with a frown on his face, put on his Confucian robe and shoes under Qiu'er's service, and then... took the white cloth and went out in person.
"Xiaodie, can you wrap the bloody thing inside? It's really a little bit exposed like this..."
The little girl blushed and said nothing.
Qiu'er on the side said quickly: "Uncle, it's no good. It must be exposed outside, just to let other maids in the house see it. In this way, everyone will recognize Xiaodie's identity in the future, and there will be no chaos in private. explain."
"Why……"
"Pfft... Uncle, why are you shy? Xiaodie should be the shy one."
Qiu'er couldn't help laughing.
Fortunately, Meixiang Xiaoyuan was not far from Lingchan Moon Palace, and I didn’t meet anyone else on the way.
It's almost time.
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but ask: "Qiu'er, what happened last night?"
Qiu'er pretended not to understand and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Uncle, what is going on?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at Xiaodie next to him and said nothing.
Forget it, now that the deal is done, there's no need to think about it any more.
Anyway, Xiaodie has been his for a long time. With the relationship between the two of them, this matter should have been done long ago, otherwise the little girl will never feel at ease.
Arrive at the entrance of Lingchan Moon Palace.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly became timid again and hesitated, not daring to go in.
Seeing this, Qiu'er stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Squeak..."
The courtyard door opened, and Bai Ling appeared handsomely in a pink skirt. Just as he showed two shallow dimples on his face and was about to speak, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the white cloth held in someone's hand.
The blood on the white cloth was particularly eye-catching under the morning sun.
"Who...whose?"
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment and asked.
Xiaodie's face turned even redder, her head lowered to her chest, and her two little hands held the hem of her skirt tightly, feeling nervous, scared, and shy.
I wonder if Sister Bailing, Sister Xiachan, and the eldest lady will be angry or deny her.
Qiu'er quickly whispered: "It's Xiaodie's."
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and said with surprise on his face: "Ah, are you just sleeping with your uncle now? I thought that before I even entered the house, I had already..."
Then he stared at someone with a strange face and said, "Uncle, this is not like you. You are so shy, you shouldn't take action now."
Luo Qingzhou originally felt ashamed and humiliated, but after hearing what she said, he immediately raised his head and said angrily: "Don't slander my uncle!"
"snort!"
Bai Ling pouted, entered the room, and then started shouting loudly: "Chanchan, come and see, my uncle came early in the morning to give a gift to... the eldest lady!"
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and led the two little girls into the small courtyard.
Xia Chan was wearing a light green dress and was practicing her sword in the yard. When she heard Bai Ling's words, she had just sheathed her sword. Her black hair and soft skirt were still swaying behind her.
In front of the stone table in the courtyard, Miss Qin, dressed in a snow-white dress, was sitting there quietly reading a book.
Luo Qingzhou held a white cloth in his hand and walked over with his head lowered. For a moment, his cheeks felt hot and he didn't know how to speak.
Normally, this white cloth can be shown to Qiu'er, and there is no need to bring it specifically to show this eldest lady.
But after all, the two are still an honorary couple.
According to the rules, she should be allowed to test it herself.
"Miss, this is Xiaodie's innocent cloth. Xiaodie had sex with her uncle last night. Take a look."
Seeing that her uncle was unreliable, Qiu'er had no choice but to step forward, lowered her head and said respectfully.
At the same time, I secretly sighed in my heart: The uncle and the eldest lady have been married for so long, but they are still so strange and cold when they meet. No wonder...
Qin Jianjia raised her head, glanced at the blood-stained red cloth, and nodded slightly.
Xiaodie felt relieved when she saw it.
Luo Qingzhou also breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to retreat, Bai Ling quickly said: "Uncle, I haven't seen Chan Chan yet!"
Xia Chan held the sword and stood under the eaves, looking here with a cold face.
Luo Qingzhou could only raise the white cloth in his hand.
Xia Chan glanced coldly, then glanced at the girl next to him. Without saying a word, she continued to practice her sword.
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly left.
Bai Ling suddenly said: "Uncle, I need to show it to Madam."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Qingzhou's expression suddenly changed.
Qiu'er also whispered beside him: "Uncle, I really want to show it to Madam. Madam is very important, and it will affect Xiaodie's status and money in the future."
"Haha, uncle, I'll go with you."
Seeing his ugly face, Bai Ling suddenly became excited and wanted to follow him to watch the fun.
Luo Qingzhou carried the white cloth and awkwardly walked out of the small courtyard. When he saw that she was really following her out, his face suddenly darkened and he threatened: "Don't think about coming back later, come with me to Meixiang Primary School." garden!"
Bai Ling smiled with no fear on his face. He hugged Xiaodie's arm and said, "Stop bluffing, uncle. With Xiaodie and Qiu'er here, I won't be afraid of you."
Luo Qingzhou was too lazy to argue with her anymore, and secretly thought about how to face the terrible mother-in-law later.
After several people left.
The sound of sword dancing in the courtyard continued for a while, then Fang stopped.
Xia Chan stood there for a while, then Fang entered the house alone and went to his room.
After dazing in the dim light for a while, she walked to the bed and took out a locked brocade box from the innermost quilt.
Immediately, he opened the brocade box and carefully took out a piece of white cloth from inside.
After the white cloth unfolded three full layers, another piece of white cloth stained with blood appeared inside...
Bai Ling helped her take it back from the nun's hands.
Trembling, she took it out and unfolded it slowly, staring blankly at the blood stains on it. She couldn't help but recall that painful and warm night...
…
The Qin mansion became lively.
Luo Qingzhou held the blood-stained white cloth in his hands and walked around the house with his head lowered.
Qiu'er quickly walked to the front.
When he sees the maid and grandma, he will turn around and say: "Uncle, raise your head higher."
Then he said to the maids and mothers, "It belongs to Xiaodie. Xiaodie became my uncle's son last night."
When he saw those male servants, he immediately said: "Uncle, hide quickly."
After all, it is a girl's thing, and it must not be seen by other men except my uncle.
Luo Qingzhou felt his cheeks burning every time those maids and maids stopped nearby and cast gossiping glances.
The rules of this era are too weird.
How can you take the initiative to show this kind of thing to people everywhere? It's like two bad men and women parading through the streets.
So shameful.
However, although the little girl next to her looked shy, she looked very proud every time the maids and mothers looked over.
Some of the maids who were close to her even laughed and teased: "Xiaodie, congratulations on getting your wish."
Luo Qingzhou secretly said: It turns out that the little girl covets his body, and everyone knows it...
Well, as long as the little girl is happy, as long as she is satisfied, it doesn't matter.
In fact, strictly speaking, this little girl is his first woman, so of course he has to respect her and pamper her.
I was thinking wildly all the way and soon came to the yard where my mother-in-law lived.
Qiu'er went in first to report.
Not long after, Meier came out to greet him, glanced at him and Xiaodie with complicated eyes, and said, "Uncle, Madam, let you in."
Luo Qingzhou held the white cloth and asked in a low voice when he walked to her: "Miss Mei'er, how is your mother-in-law feeling today?"
Meier said coldly: "I don't know."
Song Ruyue was wearing a plain white dress and was exercising in the yard while twisting her waist and arms. After hearing Qiu'er's report, she immediately sat down on a chair in the yard and turned cold.
When Luo Qingzhou came to her with Xiaodie and the white cloth in his hands, she looked at the white cloth stained with blood.
Qiu'er reported respectfully from the side: "Madam, my servant was outside the door last night, and Xiaodie did have sex with my uncle."
Flushed with shame, Xiaodie knelt down and kowtowed.
Song Ruyue glanced at her, paused, and said in a warm voice: "Get up, now that we have had sex, from today on, you are a member of my Qin family. From now on, the money will be paid according to the standard concubine. Clothes and jewelry can also be worn according to the concubine's style. But... you are still just the common girl for the time being. If he wants to take you as his concubine, I have no objection. After all, you have a deep relationship, and you are loyal to him and the Qin family. But... I have to wait a little longer, wait until I go to Kyoto, and wait for Wei Mo... Xiaodie, aren't you in a hurry?"
Xiaodie was immediately moved and happy, and her eyes filled with tears. She kowtowed and said, "Madam, slave... I'm not in a hurry... It's enough that I can be the young master's maid..."
Song Ruyue said: "Get up, we will discuss this matter when we go to Kyoto."
Xiaodie wiped her tears and stood up.
Luo Qingzhou did not dare to stay and quickly bowed to leave.
Song Ruyue rolled her eyes immediately and said, "Why are you so anxious? Are you leaving in such a hurry as soon as you come here? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and stopped where he was, not daring to say a word.
Song Ruyue said with a cold face: "What did Weimo write to you in the letter? Is it convenient to read it out?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, took out the letter from his pocket, and handed it over respectfully.
Song Ruyue snorted coldly: "You don't need to read it to me, and I don't want to read it. Weimo wrote a letter to you, do you also want to reply? Just finish replying here and then leave. I will also add you later." A few words, she is my daughter after all, I miss her too."
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
"What, you don't want to?"
Song Ruyue rolled her eyes and looked at him.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and suddenly heard her saying in her heart: "This guy must get my permission if he wants to take a concubine." Now I have a handle on him. He wants something from me, so I’m not afraid of him! Little Bailing is also there, I’m sorry he doesn’t dare to do anything to me! 】
Luo Qingzhou respectfully replied: "Mother-in-law, I haven't decided what I want to reply to yet. I'll wait until I think about it."
Song Ruyue endured it, endured it, and said coldly: "It's best to hurry up, Weimo is still waiting eagerly."
Are you still eagerly waiting to see the content of my reply?
Luo Qingzhou complained secretly in his heart and said respectfully: "Yes, I will think about it seriously when I go back later."
Song Ruyue snorted and could only wave her hands and said: "Okay, go ahead. Go back if you want."
Just as Luo Qingzhou was about to leave with the white cloth in hand, a maid suddenly walked in from the door in a hurry and reported: "Madam, there is a message from the eldest princess to ask my uncle to come over."
As soon as these words came out, Song Ruyue's eyebrows suddenly twitched and she looked at someone. She wanted to scold him for not knowing how to behave but he was always summoned by the eldest princess, but she didn't dare, so she could only say in a cold voice: "Go back quickly, today is the New Year's Eve." On the first day of the Lunar New Year, your second uncle and fourth uncle will come to pay New Year greetings later. Ordinarily, you and Jian Jia should serve tea to your father-in-law and me."
"Yes, mother-in-law!"
Luo Qingzhou was confused and retreated.
After going out, he folded the white cloth in his hand and handed it to Xiaodie's hand.
Then, he walked to the living room.
Why did the eldest princess come to summon him at this time?
