Tick tock, tick tock.
The dripping water outside the window is still counting the time silently.
The night receded quietly.
In the study, Luo Qingzhou wrote quickly, like flowing clouds and flowing water.
The eldest princess, dressed in a fiery red dress, knelt and sat beside her, her red sleeves were fragrant, and she was studying ink with her bare hands, watching quietly.
The two occasionally spoke out.
One question and one answer, the atmosphere was harmonious.
That night, Luo Qingzhou wrote out "Wu Zi's Art of War" and "Tai Gong's Six Tao" one by one.
Before I knew it, it was already early morning the next day.
The sky is already bright outside the window.
A few crisp bird calls came from the garden outside.
Luo Qingzhou put down his pen and ink, dried the ink on the paper, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, it's already dawn. I have to go out of the city to move my mother's grave today, so I can no longer accompany Your Highness."
Nangong Huoyue's eyes finally came back from the pen and ink on the rice paper. The thoughts between her brows gradually disappeared. She raised her head and glanced at him. Just as she was about to stand up, her legs suddenly became numb. She tilted her body and was about to fall. on the ground.
Luo Qingzhou, with quick eyes and quick hands, held him up.
Then he supported her arm and helped her sit down on the chair next to her. Then he stepped back and bowed: "Your Highness, I'm offended."
Nangong Huoyue frowned, rubbed his legs and said, "Sir, there is no need to be polite. I should thank you sir."
Then he apologized and said, "I didn't know that your husband was going to move his mother's grave today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to disturb him all night last night."
After a pause, she said to the outside: "Yueying, you take fifty silver-armored cavalry and escort your husband out of the city to move his mother's grave. Let him rest in the carriage without disturbing him."
Yueying's voice immediately came from outside: "Yes, Your Highness!"
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and was about to refuse when Nangong Huoyue said again: "Sir, you're welcome. This palace is for your safety. Mo City is not at peace now, and there is even more turmoil outside the city. Recently, there are monsters even in the city. Beasts are out and about. Your husband is both a teacher and a friend to me. I don’t want anything to happen to you."
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to thank him.
Nangong Huoyue then slowly stood up, bowed deeply, and said with cupped hands: "Last night, I saw you sir writing very fast, every word is exquisite, every sentence is exquisite. I feel itchy after reading it, and I have all kinds of questions in my mind. , I wanted to ask sir for an answer, but I was afraid of disturbing him. I wonder when sir will still have time to answer my questions?"
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said respectfully: "If your Highness needs it, I can come back tomorrow afternoon."
"Thank you sir."
Nangong Huoyue thanked you sincerely and said, "Sir, don't worry, I will spare no effort to help you handle that matter."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Luo Qingzhou handed over his hands, resigned and left.
The bead curtain made a sound.
Yue Wu led him out in front.
Nangong Huoyue looked at the bead curtain that was still gently swaying at the door, frowned and thought for a while, walked to the desk and sat down, and then looked at the elegant ink on the rice paper.
"Senior sister, senior sister, why do all the good things in this world belong to you?"
She touched the writing on the rice paper and murmured to herself.
Palace entrance.
Fifty warriors wearing silver armor, riding war horses, gathered together in neat rows, led by a girl in a black dress with a bow and arrow on her back, waiting silently at the door.
When Luo Qingzhou came out following Yuewu, the girl in black skirt held her hands on the horse and said coldly: "Master Luo, please get in the carriage and rest."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and those silver-armored warriors, and suddenly felt an iron-blooded aura that could only be seen on the battlefield rushing towards his face, which was daunting.
He cupped his hands and walked towards the carriage.
Yue Wu stopped at the door and said, "Mr. Luo, if you have anything, you can tell Yue Ying and she will help you handle it."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and got into the carriage.
Just as he was about to go in, he suddenly saw a familiar but thin figure standing under a big tree not far away. In the shadow of the big tree, he looked like a sculpture, motionless.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped off the carriage and walked over quickly.
When the figure saw him coming, he turned around and left.
Luo Qingzhou immediately quickened his pace and said, "Chanchan, I want to tell you what happened last night."
Xia Chan stopped.
Luo Qingzhou came behind her, reached out and held her cold little hand, squeezed it in his palm, and said distressedly: "Did you stand here all night last night?"
Xia Chan turned her back and didn't respond.
"Let's go to the carriage and talk."
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but pulled her towards the carriage.
Xia Chan followed him, struggling slightly at first, but after feeling the warmth of his hand, she soon stopped moving and let him lead her to the carriage.
Luo Qingzhou got on the carriage first, and when he was about to pull her up, Yue Wu, who was standing at the door, suddenly said: "Master Luo, this is His Highness's carriage. No one else can get on without His Highness's permission."
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou got off the carriage directly, looked at her and said, "In that case, I'll just walk. I wrote a book for His Highness last night and stayed up all night. If I fainted on the road, I wouldn't be able to remember the rest." When the time comes, I hope Miss Yuewu can write it for His Highness."
After saying that, he took the girl beside him and walked towards the street in front.
Yue Wu's face changed slightly, and she quickly shouted: "Master Luo! Don't, don't... Yue Wu... Yue Wu is wrong..."
Luo Qingzhou stopped and said, "What's wrong?"
Yue Wu made a bitter face, pointed to her mouth, and said with aggrieved face: "The mouth is wrong..."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and saw that it was already late. He didn't dare to waste time with her anymore and immediately pulled Xia Chan back and got into the carriage.
"drive!"
Yueying led fifty silver-armored cavalry and slowly drove away surrounded by the carriage.
In the carriage.
Luo Qingzhou sat with Xia Chan, holding her cold little hands in his palms, rubbing them gently, looking at her and saying: "Silly girl, why do you have to stand outside all night? Did my uncle just go out? You just followed."
Xia Chan turned sideways, looked away, and did not answer.
Luo Qingzhou rubbed her for a while and told her everything about last night: "In addition to writing a book for the eldest princess, there was indeed a woman named Hua Gu who tempted me, but I didn't fall for it... All night long, I sat at the desk and wrote. I didn’t look around, say anything, or do anything else that would make me sorry for the eldest lady..."
After Xia Chan listened, she was silent for a while, then turned her pretty face, stared at him with cold eyes and said, "Well, woman, is she pretty...?"
Luo Qingzhou thought about it carefully and said: "I met her last time, and she looked okay, but I didn't dare to look at her last night. She... Chanchan, don't get me wrong, what I said is okay, just make do with it. The meaning of "so-so" is obviously a million miles away from you. It's even worse than Bailing...well, almost as ugly as Bailing..."
The morning sun rises from the green mountains.
Golden sunshine fills the earth.
At the entrance of Qin Mansion.
Song Ruyue was wearing a plain white dress and was standing there with a gloomy face, looking at the empty alley not far away.
Many maids and grandmothers stood nearby, their heads lowered, as silent as a cicada.
Down the steps.
The carriage and the people who moved the tomb were already waiting.
The few people at the back were holding firecrackers, wreaths, ghost coins and other items needed for worship. There was a brand new stone tablet carved yesterday on the bullock cart.
On the stone tablet, there are a few lines of small characters engraved on it. In addition to the small characters such as "Qingzhou's mother Lin", there are also other names.
Qin Wenzheng walked out of the house, looked at the alley, and asked, "Not back yet?"
Song Ruyue had a cold face and did not answer.
Qin Wenzheng comforted him: "It's okay. He is more anxious than anyone else about his mother's affairs. There may be other matters at the eldest princess's place, please wait. Aren't Weimo and the others not out yet?"
Song Ruyue suppressed her anger and said: "Wei Mo knew that the boy hadn't come back yet and was afraid that I would be angry, so he deliberately pretended not to get up. That girl didn't sleep all night last night and even coughed in the morning. It was all caused by that boy. of!"
Qin Wenzheng frowned and asked in confusion: "Why didn't Weimo sleep last night? How can her body bear it?"
Song Ruyue turned her head and looked at him.
Qin Wenzheng saw that her eyes were wrong and said in shock: "What's wrong?"
Then his heart skipped a beat, and he seemed to suddenly understand something. His expression changed slightly and he said, "Already sleeping together? The kid was not here last night, so he couldn't sleep?"
Song Ruyue sneered: "You should ask your precious daughter and that cowardly boy."
Qin Wenzheng frowned and said with a heavy face: "Why so fast? This... this is against the rules..."
Song Ruyue couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said sarcastically: "Since that boy entered the house, what else has happened in our house that is in compliance with the rules? Have you ever seen any son-in-law who is like an ancestor and is supported by us like this? Humph? , and other things, I'm afraid that if I tell you, Master, you will be angry to death. We, the women of the Qin Mansion, are about to be swept away by that cowardly boy, who will bring disaster to all of us!"
Qin Wenzheng was stunned for a moment: "Is it so serious?"
Song Ruyue snorted coldly: "Master, I didn't mean to slander that boy. You can find out by yourself if you go down and ask. Huh, originally that boy was worried and afraid of me, but now he is so pampered by you that he is no longer afraid of anyone." . I’m afraid that when the time comes, people will come to the house to remove the tiles and sit on our heads to shit.”
When Qin Wenzheng heard this, his face suddenly darkened: "He dares!"
Song Ruyue glanced at him and immediately encouraged: "Master, it's time to give him a hard beating, lest that kid thinks he can be unscrupulous in our Qin Mansion and do whatever he wants! If we don't establish our authority in front of that kid now, I'm afraid that after he passes the imperial examination in the autumn, he will go too far. Not only will he ignore us, but he may also bully your precious daughter! I will regret it at the end of the day!"
The more Qin Wenzheng listened, the more frightened he became. His face changed for a while, and he suddenly said with a serious face: "It's time to beat him hard. If you don't beat him, you won't be talented, and if you don't beat him, you won't be filial! I will wait for him to come back later, and I will teach him a lesson. ! Don’t stop any of you!”
Song Ruyue suddenly felt happy and said immediately: "Master, I will teach you a lesson, but I promise not to say a word!"
At this time, a dazzling cold light suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley.
Immediately, the heavy and neat sound of horse hooves, stepping on the bluestone slabs, came over with a majestic and powerful aura, as if knocking on people's hearts, and every sound was frightening.
Qin Wenzheng and Song Ruyue were stunned for a moment, then immediately turned their heads to look, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Dozens of strong warriors wearing silver armor, riding armored horses, and holding silver guns, led by a girl in a black dress, surrounded a beautifully decorated carriage and walked in coldly and majestically from the alley.
"The eldest princess's silver-armored cavalry!"
Qin Wenzheng seemed to know these warriors. His pupils suddenly shrank and he hurriedly walked down the steps and bowed to pay homage.
These silver-armored cavalry are only owned by the eldest princess. Could it be that the eldest princess is here?
He felt uneasy.
Song Ruyue was also startled, and hurriedly took the maid and grandma beside her, hurriedly down the steps, and stood behind him with a bow, her heart filled with fear and fear: Oh... they are not here to ransack the house, are they?
The maids and servants holding grave-moving objects turned pale with fright and began to tremble.
During this period, the homes of the four major families were ransacked, and everyone was arrested. The whole Mocheng legend was in an uproar. Wouldn't it be their Qin Mansion's turn now?
The cavalry stopped.
The carriages crowded in the middle also stopped.
The girl in black skirt riding on the silver-armored horse said coldly: "Master Luo, we're here."
"???"
Qin Wenzheng and Song Ruyue were stunned for a moment and raised their heads.
The car curtain opened, and a tall figure wearing a large Confucian robe walked out of the car.
Immediately, another familiar figure holding a sword came out.
Several pairs of eyes met each other, and they were all stunned.
There was silence for a few breaths.
Luo Qingzhou quickly took Xia Chan out of the carriage and paid homage: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law."
The muscles in the corners of Song Ruyue's eyes twitched violently for a few times. She stepped forward, secretly poked her master with her elbow, and whispered: "Master, knock it on! You dare to let us pay homage to him? You're going against him!"
Qin Wenzheng raised his head, glanced at the silver-armored cavalry shining coldly in the sun, and then looked at the young man surrounded by the cavalry. He was silent for a moment and whispered: "Ruyue, things at home have always been the same. You make the decision, I won’t overstep it, just go ahead.”
Song Ruyue: "..."
There was silence again.
"Brother-in-law..."
At this embarrassing moment for both parties, Miss Qin walked out of the door wearing a plain white dress and taking Qiu'er Zhu'er with her.
