The days passed like this for half a month. Every night, Xue Jinwen would stand at the door of Xue Qu with his pillow in his arms, begging to sleep with him. At first, Xue Qu was afraid that the bed would be narrow and wronged the young master, but later he saw that he slept more soundly than himself. Don't think too much.Every time I look at him at night, I will think of the night when I first entered the mansion, Xue Jinwen stood in front of the room where the servants lived with his pillow in his arms, pointing domineeringly at Xue Qu to sleep with him, scaring the other house slaves on the bunk Standing neatly under the bed for a whole night.From then on, no one dared to say a word to Xue Qu again, for fear of offending this little-known little house slave and suffering himself.

Time passed like a passing time, just after noon, there was the sound of horseshoes outside the door, and then a house slave led a Xue family slave in, the house slave took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the steward, the steward read the letter Overjoyed, he gave a few copper coins to the servant who delivered the letter, and took the letter to Xue Jinwen.

Xue Jinwen was in the garden telling the little girls what he had seen and heard outside vividly. Hearing that all the house slaves were fascinated, Xue Qu sat in the corner courtyard beside him and looked at him and laughed.

"Master, Master!"

The butler's voice came from outside the garden. The butler was usually serious. When the servants heard his voice, they ran away as if they had encountered a ghost, squeezing the butler who came in through the arch into a pie.

After angrily scolding these bastards a few times, the butler handed over the letter written by Mr. Xue to Xue Jinwen.

After reading the letter, Xue Jinwen was also bursting with joy. He pulled Xue Qu and said happily, "Daddy and the others have passed Jingshui, and they will be home tomorrow."

"really?"

Xue Qu also became happy.

"If you really miss them, you can ride with me to meet them now."

"Young Master! Young Master! You mustn't do it. It's sunset now, and there are many beasts in the mountains at night. Recently, many messengers on the pipeline have been tricked. You can't be so reckless."

The butler eagerly dissuaded.

"Young master, Mr. Housekeeper is right. You miss your parents dearly but you also want to cherish your own body, so you set up a house exhibition with me. How about going outside the city tomorrow to meet Mrs. Madam?"

"Okay! Just listen to Qu'er!"

The entire Xue family has been in a hurry since hearing the news that the old lady is coming back. The new lampshades and the new cups have been cleaned up spotlessly inside and out.

At night, Xue Jinwen was so excited that he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning like pancakes.

"Master? Can't you sleep?"

"Um……"

Xue Jinwen looked at the beam with his arms under his pillow.

"It's because I miss you too much. Tomorrow morning, I will go out of the city with the young master to meet the master and the others."

"Oh... good!"

Xue Jinwen smiled, seeing that Xue Jinwen was still refusing to go to sleep, Xue Qu sat up.

"Is there something on your mind, master?"

Xue Jinwen also sat up, Xue Qu lit an oil lamp and put it on the table, and the two of them put on their clothes and sat by the table.

Xue Jinwen looked at Xue Qu and smiled.

"Master, what are you laughing at?"

"I still remember when I was a child, every time I got into an accident and got injured and couldn't sleep because of the pain in the middle of the night, you would light a lamp to accompany me."

There was fire in Xue Jinwen's eyes, so bright that Xue Qu didn't dare to look more.

"Yes! When I was young, I was often bullied by the young master."

Xue Qu rubbed his knees and said leisurely.

"You hate me?"

"No, the children's pranks are not intentional, but even though the young master has a domineering appearance, if he is wronged during the day, he still hides at night.

I got up and cried secretly, how could I bear hatred for such a young master. "

"Where have I ever cried?"

"Yes! Do you remember that in the winter of the second year I entered the mansion, my second aunt brought Master Wenjue to my house to play. I was thin and short at the time, and Master Wenjue accidentally knocked me down. Snow, a thin layer of ice formed on the rim of the well, I accidentally slipped and fell into the well when I was leaning on it, and it happened that the old mothers were sweeping snow in the backyard and rescued me, so I lost my life." Xue Qu fumbled on the rim of the cup with his fingers, "Who knew you had a fight with Master Wenjue again, I was so dizzy at night that I heard someone lying beside my bed crying, I thought it was to lure me to The little ghost from Yan Luodian was lying on my bedside laughing, and when I opened my eyes, it was you."

Hearing this, Xue Jinwen bowed his head and smiled embarrassedly.Xue Qu took a sip from the tea bowl and continued, "Your face was stained, and you said it hurt, and then you cried into tears. I had no choice but to sleep all night with my arms around you, but the next day I The fever didn't go away, but it infected you too."

"And then we both got smallpox!"

Xue Jinwen stared at Xue Qu intently, reached out and touched his face lightly, "This scar was left when he had acne."

"A pimple doesn't leave scars, it's not bad if you don't have a pockmarked face!"

"Hahaha, if you become pockmarked, I'll scarify my face with a knife to accompany you!"

Xue Qu's hands trembled slightly, he quickly calmed down, and scolded with a straight face, "Such a big man is still talking nonsense."

"You can tell if it's nonsense."

Xue Jinwen's handsome face was lingering in Xue Qu's mind like a painting. The two sat at the table chatting and laughing for a while, until the sky turned white before turning off the lights and taking a nap.

After finishing their grooming and washing, Xue Jinwen put his hair up in a bun, put on a long white gown and a blue gown and stood in the garden with a dashing spirit.Xue Qu stood behind him in a neat cloth, with faint dark circles under his eyes.

"Let's go, my young master won't ride a horse today."

The housekeeper had prepared the carriage in front of the door, Xue Jinwen quickly jumped into the carriage, opened the curtain and got in. Xue Qu sat outside with the coachman. The coachman just drove the horse and took two steps forward when he stretched his hands out of the carriage. She came out and dragged him in through Xue Qu's armpits.

"What are you doing, master?"

"A few days ago, I dreamed that two immortals were playing chess. While playing chess, they made a bet, saying that whoever can break the game can get the marriage they want and stay with their beloved forever."

Xue Qu felt melancholy, after living with him for so many years, he finally understood the matter of love, imagining that the two of them had also reached the age of spring, thinking that the master and his wife returned to Jinling together to find a marriage for this youngest son.Thinking about this, Xue Qu felt that the oppressive stone in his heart was a little heavier.

Looking at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, I feel a bit desolate in my heart, it's just a game of chess, can everything come true if I break the game?How silly!

Xue Qu laughed at himself, but still stared at the chess board seriously, hoping to see the flaws.

"Does Qu'er already have someone she likes in her heart?"

Xue Jinwen asked suddenly, interrupting Xue Qu who was thinking.

"When I was sold to Xue's family, I signed a life-and-death contract. If the master doesn't let you go, I will always be a member of Xue's family." Xue Qu rubbed his chin and stared at the chessboard without blinking.

"Since I can't help myself, why is Qu'er so serious?"

Xue Qu froze for a moment, then looked away from the chessboard.Xue Jinwen put away the chessboard, with a smile on his face again, "It's just a dream of mine, but you take it seriously."

"I!"

Xue Qu wanted to explain, but the coachman had already parked the carriage outside and summoned him.

Xue Jinwen got up and walked out of the carriage. The peach blossoms outside the city were in full bloom, and the white petals falling in the wind paved the way like the first snow.

On the road, a group of horses and horses came from a distance, probably the chariots and horses of Master Xue's family.

When the team of chariots and horses got closer, they vaguely saw the word Xue on the big flag in front of the team.Xue Jinwen ran towards him, and the servants saw him give way one after another, making way to the luxurious carriage in the middle of the team.

"Daddy!"

Xue Jinwen knelt on one knee with unconcealable joy on his face.The girl accompanying the car slowly opened the curtain, and the hale and hearty Mr. Xue stood on the car with a smile on his face.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are taller than your elder brother!"

"It's been a while since I haven't seen my father, but I'm still so brave."

"Hahaha, what a mouth! Go and meet your mother, she misses you so much!"

After Xue Jinwen paid his respects to the master, he went to the car to say hello to Mrs. Xue.At this time Xue Qu had already rushed up to greet Master Xue respectfully, and when he was walking in front of the carriage, he smelled a faint scent of rouge. Xue Qu had served the Master and his wife for many years, and knew that Madam didn't like gouache. This scent is definitely not from the lady.

Xue Qu felt cold for no reason, and sure enough, he looked into the car and saw a young girl sitting on the inside, twenty-eight years old, with almond eyes and slender eyebrows, a little red lips, and a human face with peach blossoms, like a flower that is about to bloom. She smiled shyly and seductively.

Xue Qu stood there in a daze, and he didn't know how long he heard someone calling him before he came back to his senses.
