At dawn, it was still dark, but Zhu Mingyu was already awake.
In other words, he didn't sleep at all that night. He was tossing and turning in great torment.
Now he regrets it very much, mainly in two aspects.
First, he shouldn't have let Amber sleep with him yesterday. Second, since Amber has agreed to sleep with him, he shouldn't say anything about the difference between men and women, and then just make a bed next to the bed.
At the last minute, I was scared.
This house should be lived by a big shot from the Blackwater Gang. The house is filled with calligraphy and paintings, and the tables, chairs and benches are also very elegant. The most valuable thing is this canopy bed. It is made of fine mahogany and the hollow carvings are all made by famous artists. The craftsmanship is good, even if you are having a quarrel on the bed, you will not hear the slightest sound from the bed.
He made the floor next to the bed. Technically speaking, if someone stood directly above the bed and looked down, he and Amber would be sleeping in the same bed.
He kept reciting the Jing Jing Sutra silently for the rest of the night, but his mind could not be clear at all.
After all, Zhu Mingyu is still a rather dogmatic person at heart. Although he is more lively by nature, the master's teachings have become flesh and blood and cannot be forgotten.
He couldn't help but sigh and said in his heart: Forget it, let's talk about it when we get married.
Following this sigh, there was a sound of stirring on the bed. Not long after, Zhu Mingyu saw Amber sticking his head out from the bed and staring at him with an ambiguous smile in his eyes.
Zhu Mingyu asked: "Amber, are you awake?" Aren't you usually very sleepy?
Amber said leisurely: "I can't sleep."
Zhu Mingyu said: "Lie down for a while, it will be dawn soon."
Amber turned over again, fell off the bed, and fell into Zhu Mingyu's arms - intentionally of course - through yesterday's flying attack of Amber, and now the impact of falling, Zhu Mingyu understood one thing: Amber's rice It's not for nothing, she seems to be really heavier than other women, quite tight.
Zhu Mingyuxin said: It’s already this point anyway, and there’s no time to do anything else.
So he took Amber into his arms and gently stroked her back.
Amber murmured and asked, "Mingyu, your family is so rich. Don't all the rich men have three wives and four concubines?"
Zhu Mingyu was speechless for a moment: "My grandfather had several houses, but my father... uh... actually had one house. One year when I was a child, my father suddenly became ill and vomited blood. My grandfather quickly found a girl for them to get married. Happy."
"Your family quite likes to celebrate."
"Hey, it's an old tradition... My aunt was also a poor person. She was born as a servant. She was tall and thick and not good-looking. When she was a child, there was a famine in her hometown, and her family fled to our town. In order to prevent the whole family from starving to death, she My father sold her to the current member of our family. She is very nimble with her hands and feet, and she never feels tired when working. All the servants in the family have a good relationship with her. After she married my father, she did not regard herself as the master of the family, except Apart from food and clothing, everything is the same as before. My mother also understands this and has never pushed her. She is in good health and never gets sick, but she died one step ahead of my father. When I was a child, she was very good to me. , the year she died, I had already gone up the mountain to practice Taoism with my master. She passed away, and our whole family was very reluctant to leave her... My father buried her in the ancestral grave, and often taught us brothers and sisters not to forget our aunt. She married After I gave it to my father, except for the wedding day, I have never slept with him in so many years."
After hearing this, Amber asked in a low voice: "Your family is very kind. The whole town is praising you."
"The family education is good."
"Then will you take a concubine in the future?"
"Uh... no..."
"What if one day you meet a poor woman and we have to save her, and then she wants to marry you?"
"Uh... Kohaku, your little head is quite capable of thinking, isn't it?"
"Answer me, will you marry me?"
"Of course not, and I don't dare either. I feel now that if Li Fenglan and Feicui find out about me touching you, they will definitely kill me. If I dare to marry the younger one in the future, I can’t protect you Changfeng Tower
You can come to my house to kill. "
Amber smiled softly: "No wonder."
"What's the wonder?"
"No wonder you dare not do anything."
"...It's not something you dare to do...let's talk about it after we get married."
Amber stood up and kissed Zhu Mingyu. It wasn't the dragonfly's kiss yesterday, nor the hungry tiger's pounce on Amber later. This time the kiss was much more delicate. Zhu Mingyu's peaceful embrace did not last long, and he soon fell into Amber's fragrant kiss. He went through the Qingjing Sutra in his mind for a hundred and eighty times in an instant, and finally chose to forget about Daozu and Sanqing. back.
I've already returned to secular life, so you guys go away and stay away, or at worst, you'll be beaten half to death by Jade.
It gradually became brighter outside the window, and Zhu Mingyu was still feeling the soft and substantial touch on her hands inside the house. When she was about to take the next step, she suddenly heard someone shouting outside the yard.
"Brother Zhu! Are you awake?"
The two heard shouts outside, like two frightened wild cats. Zhu Mingyu hurriedly hid Amber under the quilt, and Amber hugged him tightly, not daring to make a sound.
It was Fu Xiaohu who shouted.
Zhu Mingyu cleared her throat: "Ah... I'm awake! No! I haven't gotten up yet! She's still in bed! Don't come in!"
Fu Xiaohu wondered: "What should I do in there?"
"Brother Fu, what's going on?"
"Someone is coming from the west and asked you to come over later to discuss something."
"Okay, I get it."
"Oh, by the way, I don't know where Amber went. I went to look for her just now, but she didn't seem to be in the house."
"She, she might have gone out."
"Going out? So early? Amber is very lazy, how could she get up so early? Could something have happened?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"I'm still a little worried. Let's look for her."
"No need! She, she, she is so powerful, who can beat her? Don't worry, it's okay. Brother Fu, if it's okay, just leave first."
"Okay, you get up early."
When the sound of Fu Xiaohu's footsteps completely disappeared, Zhu Mingyu opened the bed and saw Amber looking at him with a suppressed smile. Looking at Amber, who had disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, Zhu Mingyu turned over and pressed her under him.
Amber smiled sweetly while refusing: "No, ah, it's already dawn."
Zhu Mingyu looked out the window, the sky was bright, and she was immediately discouraged. He slapped himself and scolded himself: "Zhu Mingyu gave you a chance but you didn't use it."
Amber sat up, gave Zhu Mingyu a kiss, smiled and said, "Get up, let's talk about it another day."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhu Mingyu to express his position, he started to get dressed on his own.
Looking at Amber's plump figure, Zhu Mingyu sighed: "As the saying goes, Wenrou Township is the Tomb of Heroes, and this is true."
…
After Zhu Mingyu finished washing, she walked towards the west yard. As soon as she left her yard, she saw Fu Xiaohu practicing his sword. He is skilled in swordsmanship, has precise killing moves, and his posture alone is excellent.
Seeing Zhu Mingyu coming, Fu Xiaohu said hello with a smile: "Get up, how did you sleep last night?"
Zhu Mingyuxin said: I slept like shit, I didn’t sleep for almost the whole night.
But he still smiled and said, "It's okay."
Fu Xiaohu stared at him for a while, frowned and asked, "Were you injured in the fight yesterday?"
"No, why do you ask?"
Fu Xiaohu pointed to his cheek: "You are all red here. Could it be that you were accidentally hit yesterday?"
Zhu Mingyu was confused. Why was he beaten? This was obviously eaten by Amber yesterday.
He gave a careless look and said, "Uh... It must have been accidental. I don't remember either."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the west courtyard.
There were servants waiting for him and taking him to see Li Fengyao.
Yesterday, the servants kept tidying up until late at night. Before dawn in the morning, they heard another beating coming from the west courtyard.
There was the sound of cleaning the room, and the yard was full of furniture. It seemed that Li Fengyao was not going to keep it.
In fact, there are some female relatives in the Blackwater Gang. Yesterday, Zhu Mingyu protected the female relatives and left them without letting Li Fengyao's people touch them. He was really afraid that Li Fengyao would go crazy and kill them all together.
After walking for a long time, we finally stopped in front of a large and impressive courtyard. It looked like it should be where the head of the Li family used to live.
The servant introduced him into the house and left. After waiting for a short while, Li Fengyao entered the house with two maids.
Although he let off harsh words yesterday, she was Li Fenglan's mother after all, so Zhu Mingyu still treated her with the courtesy she deserved.
He cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Senior."
"How was your stay yesterday?" Li Fengyao's voice had no warmth.
"fine."
"sit down."
Zhu Mingyu sat in the guest seat, and Li Fengyao ordered people to watch tea. The etiquette was very thorough.
Li Fengyao said: "We are not enemies. It seems that we have the same goal now, so there is no need to get too serious."
Zhu Mingyu said: "Since the senior said so, then the junior will not play riddles. From the time Li Fenglan came out of the valley to now, although there have been many fights, except for Ye Yu Xiaozhu, he rarely kills. Even when he met the aggressive Yuan in Chang'an Family, it’s just a trick without killing. I believe that senior also understands the reason for doing this. But what you are doing now, senior, has made your daughter’s plan go to waste. "
"I know, she is testing, why am I not?" Li Fengyao's voice was very soft, "It's just that I tested too much."
"Isn't it more than excessive? Yesterday I heard Aunt Yuzhuo talk about the past of the three families. The world in those days hated the three families. If the juniors were not friends of Li Fenglan and the others, I would not be on your side. Since you want If you want to take revenge and revive the Li family, you should know how to give in. I talked to Li Fenglan. Even if this matter subsides, the three families and Changfeng Tower will not return to their previous scale. What you are showing now is not I just want to kill all my enemies and restore the Li family to its heyday. Do you think it’s possible?”
Li Fengyao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why is it impossible?"
"If you say that, we won't have to talk anymore."
Zhu Mingyu was about to stand up and leave. Li Fengyao suddenly said: "This time you come to Yangzhou, you are not visiting tombs and worshiping ancestors at all. My daughter is not here, who are you doing it for? If I am not wrong, you are here for the Li family underground palace." Come."
Zhu Mingyu nodded: "Yes, that is indeed the purpose. However, we are preparing to return to Luoyang. If you are here, senior, the Li family's underground palace will definitely not be handed over to us. You are Li Fenglan's mother-in-law. No matter how tense the dispute is, you There is also this relationship, so I can’t offend you, so I have no choice but to leave.”
Li Fengyao picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Don't leave in such a hurry. If my daughter knows that I am in Yangzhou, she will definitely give you a new mission."
"What new mission?"
"Watch me."
Zhu Mingyu wanted to laugh a little. These two women are really amazing. Now they don't like each other, and they both feel that the other is a bit in the way.
He smiled and said, "Senior is right, it's something your daughter can do. If you have nothing to do, I won't bother you."
At this time, Li Fengyao suddenly narrowed her eyes and asked, "Little Taoist Priest, are you a Quanzhen Taoist priest?"
The spot on his cheek was too conspicuous. He cleared his throat awkwardly and replied: "Yes... I have returned to secular life. I'll take my leave, junior."
When he reached the door, Zhu Mingyu suddenly turned around and said: "The few things in the Li family's underground palace are from nineteen years ago and are of no use. But if the Jianghu people know that such a thing exists, something will happen. .”
Li Fengyao asked expressionlessly: "So, does anyone know?"
"Yes, your daughter is not always well-intentioned. Whether she is digging a hole for Yeyu Xiaozhu or the Yuan family, in general, she is still digging a hole for you. This thing, even if it is white The family’s Achilles’ heel may also be yours.”
"As expected of my daughter."
