at dusk.
It's a lively time on the streets.
Vendors shouted and pedestrians passed by.
There were people buying food, shopping, and eating. They were talking to each other in groups of three or three, and the sound was quite noisy.
Luo Qingzhou finally went out alone.
Bai Ling ignored him.
Xia Chan also went to the backyard to practice swordplay.
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to sneak out through the back door and put on a mask in the alley.
Wandered around the streets for a while.
He went directly to Spring Garden Alley.
Chunyuan Alley is only about three streets away from Qin Mansion, which is not too far.
Enter the alley.
After seeing no one around, he took off the mask on his face and put on a loose Confucian robe, which suppressed the aura of a warrior.
He suddenly transformed into the frail and elegant scholar he usually was.
Search house to house.
In the deepest part of the alley, I found an ancient mansion with peeling paint on the door.
There are several big characters written on the door plaque above: Baiyuan Garden.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
He came forward and knocked on the door.
At the same time, I took out two rolls of rice paper from the storage bag.
After knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door.
Isn't it there?
He waited for a while longer, and when he was about to leave, a childish and timid voice suddenly came from the door: "Who?"
When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he quickly said: "My surname is Luo, and I'm here to deliver something."
"Luo? Is this Mr. Luo?"
The voice at the door suddenly became excited.
"Squeak..."
The door opened immediately.
A little maid in a goose-yellow dress appeared in the door. She stared at him for a few times with her big and smart eyes, and suddenly said excitedly: "It's Young Master Luo! Young Master, please come in quickly! My young lady is at the waterside pavilion. Xiaoting is playing the piano. If he knows that the young master is here, he will be very happy."
Luo Qingzhou was slightly surprised: "Do you know me?"
The little maid nodded with a smile on her face and said: "Well, there are many portraits of Mr. Luo at my lady's place. They were all painted by me. They are very similar to the young master himself. I can recognize them at a glance."
Luo Qingzhou asked in confusion: "Your young lady is..."
The little maid smiled and said: "Master, you will know when you get in. Master, please come in quickly."
Luo Qingzhou took a look inside but did not go in. He raised the scroll in his hand and said, "I'm here to deliver something to His Highness. Let your lady come out for a moment. I have something else to do. I'll leave as soon as I finish delivering the things."
The little maid suddenly pursed her lips and said, "Master, if you don't come in, my lady will be very sad."
Luo Qingzhou stared at her for a few times and guessed: "Your lady...is called Hua Gu?"
The little maid opened her eyes wide and said, "Sir, how did you know?"
When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he didn't dare to go in and said quickly: "Go and call her over. I have something to do and I will leave soon."
Seeing how anxious he was, the little maid could only say sadly: "Okay, sir, wait a moment."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Luo Qingzhou stood at the door without stepping in, secretly thinking about the eldest princess's intentions.
Could it be that the eldest princess hasn't given up yet and wants to let that flower-bone girl get close to him?
Or is it simply to let the flower-bone girl live here and deliver stories and news to her?
Not long after.
A graceful girl wearing a bright red gauze skirt came hurriedly with the maid just now.
The girl has a slender figure, a slender waist, a majestic chest, straight and slender legs, pink skin, a delicate appearance, and a naturally charming look between her eyebrows.
As you walk, you feel like delicate flowers blowing in the wind, with various postures.
This girl is none other than the girl named Hua Gu.
"Master Luo..."
Hua Gu came closer, looked at him with bright eyes, and said in a soft and seductive voice: "There is no one else in the house except the slave family and Xiaohuan. It's getting late, so why don't you come in, and the slave family will cook dinner for you? I will accompany you to play in the garden for a while, okay?"
Luo Qingzhou handed over the two rolls of rice paper in his hand and said: "Since it's getting late, I naturally have to go home and have dinner with my wife. Miss Huagu, take the things and hand them over to His Highness when the time comes. You can take care of the things inside. You should know that they are all important and cannot be missed.”
Hua Gu's expression darkened, he stretched out his slender hand to take it, and said aggrievedly: "Master, do you hate the slave family so much?"
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Young lady Hua Gu said something serious. You and I have only met twice, so how can we say we are disgusting? I do have a lady waiting for you at home. I'm sorry."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Hua Gu hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold his broad sleeves, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, don't be afraid, the slave family will not be as shameless as before. The slave family just wants to talk to the master and accompany him. Young Master, let’s chat and stay with him for a while, I have no other intention.”
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said nothing.
Hua Gu raised her pretty little face, her watery eyes full of tenderness and pity, and softly begged: "Master, please..."
I don't know if the string on her chest was not tied properly or if her breasts were just too big. The string suddenly loosened, revealing an alluring whiteness and deep ravines.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned and glanced subconsciously. While he was in a daze, he suddenly felt a familiar chill coming over him. He suddenly woke up and quickly took her hand away from his sleeve and took two steps back. , said sternly: "I'm sorry, Miss Huagu, I am a scholar, I know etiquette, justice and shame, I know melon fields and plum trees, it is really inconvenient to go in, take my leave!"
After saying that, without any hesitation, he turned around and left.
Hua Gu stood at the door, watching his back blankly as he walked away, then sighed inaudibly, turned around and entered the house.
Luo Qingzhou strode towards the alley.
Halfway through, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the corner next to him, with a surprised look on his face: "Hey, Chanchan, didn't you come out? When did you come?"
Xia Chan leaned against the wall, with her arms folded across her chest and a sword in her arms, looking at him coldly.
There was silence in the alley for a moment.
Luo Qingzhou said: "Let's go, my uncle will take you to eat something delicious."
Xia Chan stood there, still not moving. The sword in her arms seemed to be ready to move, and the aura around her became colder and colder.
Luo Qingzhou immediately didn't dare to pretend anymore and had to explain: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't come here secretly to date other women. The man just now was the eldest princess's man, named Hua Gu. I once begged The eldest princess, let her help save Xiaolou and her mother, and the reward I will give you is stories and art of war. The things I wrote in the study this afternoon were for the eldest princess. I was planning to call you tonight The one who came here to deliver things was you...it was my fault, I shouldn't have bullied Bai Ling..."
Xia Chan stared at him coldly for a while, then said, "Where were you looking at her just now?"
Luo Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat and he said, "What a face. When she talks to me, of course I look at her face."
"Ah."
"By the way, there's also a skirt!"
Xia Chan stared at him with cold eyes, and the hair behind her started to move automatically without any wind.
"chest……"
Luo Qingzhou said politely, then looked innocent: "Originally, I was looking at her face, but the rope around her suddenly loosened, as if something suddenly popped out. I thought it was a hidden weapon, so I subconsciously looked at her face. I glanced at... Chanchan, it's not my fault..."
Xia Chan said nothing and turned to leave.
Luo Qingzhou quickly followed and said: "Actually, I just took a look and didn't see anything, and I didn't mean it. No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. And you just saw that my uncle's treatment of her You have firmly rejected the temptation, haven’t you?”
Xia Chan ignored him, walked out of the alley, and continued walking forward.
But just after crossing a street, she suddenly stopped again, glanced left and right, clenched the sword in her hand, and there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
She is lost.
Luo Qingzhou quickly walked to her side and said, "Let's go, I will take you to dinner."
Xia Chan's pretty face was still as cold as ice: "No."
"Then just stand here by yourself. Don't blame me if you get lost. When the time comes, the traffickers will sell you to a mine and make you mine every day. You will be exhausted."
Luo Qingzhou turned around and walked towards the street on the left.
After walking for a while, he turned around and looked.
Sure enough, the girl was holding the sword, silently and pitifully following him. When she saw his gaze, she immediately stopped, said goodbye to her pretty face, and looked away.
Luo Qingzhou seemed to hear her voice: Hum.
"Chanchan, come and stay with me. My uncle needs your protection. There are many people here. It will be troublesome if they get separated later."
Give this girl a step down.
Xia Chan hesitated in place for a while, then Fang walked over with a cold and pretty face, her eyes still staring at him coldly not to be outdone.
Luo Qingzhou pretended to be afraid of her, turned away, avoided sight, and continued walking forward with a guilty look on his face.
Xia Chan then withdrew her gaze and followed him silently.
"Chanchan, go to a restaurant or eat at the stall there?"
Walking to the entrance of an alley, Luo Qingzhou asked.
An alluring fragrance wafted from the alley.
Xia Chan stopped, glanced at the snacks on the stalls in the alley, hesitated, and asked in a low voice: "Is the restaurant expensive?"
As she said this, she subconsciously touched the money bag at her waist.
Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment and said: "It shouldn't be too expensive. The environment in the restaurant is good, quiet, and the food is a little cleaner. Here, there are many people, it is noisy, and the food may not be so clean. But the taste, sometimes in the restaurant The food here is not necessarily better than the food here.”
Xia Chan thought for a moment, looked at him and said, "Then...the restaurant."
She took a look at his clean robes and his elegant and elegant appearance, and thought to herself: He is a scholar, he likes quietness and cleanliness... A restaurant should be more suitable.
"Okay, my uncle is treating me tonight, you can eat whatever you want!"
Luo Qingzhou walked ahead, looking for a better restaurant on the streets on both sides.
Xia Chan followed, glanced at his delicate and handsome side face, and secretly muttered in her heart: I don't want it.
She said she wanted to support him, so she wouldn't let him pay for it.
And she always bullied him secretly, making him so pitiful every time, and taking away so many of his things. It was right to treat him to a meal.
Luo Qingzhou quickly found a restaurant.
Just as the two were about to enter, several figures suddenly walked out of the restaurant.
One of the figures was very familiar to Luo Qingzhou.
The man was also stunned when he saw him.
The two stopped in place, looking at each other, without speaking.
"Luo Yu, what's wrong? Do you know this person?"
One of the tall young men in blue robes asked. His eyes fell on the young man outside the door. He looked up and down several times. His eyes became brighter and brighter, and his Adam's apple moved a few times.
The corners of Luo Yu's mouth moved and she smiled lightly and said, "Brother Meng, he is the scholar I told you about, my concubine of the Chengguo Mansion, Luo Qingzhou."
Then he sneered: "Of course, he may have changed his surname now and become a domestic slave of someone else's family."
