Cold and warm depend on each other

There was a moment of silence in the hall.Liu Qingqing took a sip of tea slowly, the cardamom on her jade-like fingers stained her fingernails red.She casually flicked the tea leaves: "Young Master Jin... Have you misunderstood something?"

Jin Yuke frowned and looked at Liu Qingqing: "What's the misunderstanding?"

"Back then, you and I were considered gentlemen. I regretted your talent to help you pass the exam in Beijing. I didn't expect anything in return. If I had to say that I had some hope, it was just that I didn't want to see you being buried by ordinary things despite your empty ambitions." Liu Qingqing chuckled, and conveniently put the teacup on the table beside her. "Young Master Jin, between you and me, how can we talk about living up to our expectations?"

Jin Yuke was stunned for a moment, then slowly stood up straight, and walked a few steps in the hall.

The autumn wind has blown outside the courtyard, blowing and swirling fallen leaves all over the ground.Jin Yuke stood still and turned back and said, "Qingqing, you are worried that I will be judged by others for this, and that I will lose my job, aren't you?" He smiled as calmly as possible, and walked forward again: "Don't you I'm afraid. Your Majesty..."

"Mr. Jin, I am really worried about being accused. So please be careful about my boudoir name." After Liu Qingqing finished speaking, she got up and was blessed, and was about to go to the back hall.

"I don't believe it!" Jin Yuke gritted his teeth and hated: "If you are really ruthless to me, why did you invite me here today?!"

His voice suddenly rose, causing all the women cleaning the courtyard to look over and discuss in a low voice.

Liu Qingqing stood behind a row of high-ranking chairs, straightened her three-foot sleeves and turned around, with a helpless expression on her face, before replying after a pause: "I thought you came to pay back the money today. After all... Can't make you break your promise, can you?"

She said as if sighing.

Seeing Liu Qingqing's long skirt leaning on Xiaoxiao's arm and Shi Shiran turning into the back hall, Jin Yuke was dumbfounded, and then covered his chest, almost vomiting blood.

The mansion of the Junshan faction occupies quite a large area. Xiaoxiao accompanied her lady from the back hall of the side hall, walked along the bluestone paved road to the Chaoshou corridor, where there are magnificent columns, carved beams and painted buildings, and it took a lot of thought to think of the courtyard.

"Miss..." Xiaoxiao hesitated.

"Huh?" Liu Qingqing looked at the autumn scenery in the courtyard, and thought of Cao Youqi's sword dance in the morning sun, as if the moon was covered by light clouds, and the snow fluttered like a flowing wind. It was really beautiful. Extremely.She smiled lightly and responded casually.

"Miss...Xiaoxiao has something she can't figure out." When she was about to walk to the west wing, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but speak.

"You think it's strange, why should I pay attention to that childish Cao Youqi regardless of Mr. Jin's bright future?"

Xiao Xiao bit her lips: "People say it's easy to find a priceless treasure, but it's rare to have a lover. In the past in Wufenglou, Mr. Jin only went to see you alone, and never ordered any other women. According to what the servants saw today, he treats you You are indeed sincere..."

The carved door of the house was half open and half closed, Liu Qingqing lifted the corner of her skirt, and lightly moved up the steps with lotus steps.Xiaoxiao came up from the side and drew up the curtain for her, the little girl came out from the flower hall to welcome her, Liu Qingqing knew that Cao Youqi hadn't come back yet.

After receiving the hot towel handkerchief from Xiaoxiao, she covered her hands and sat on the arhat couch that Cao Youqi usually liked to lean on, and said calmly: "When you meet that person, you will understand that there are always some people in the world who can It can enter your eyes, but only one person can enter your heart."

Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes, and saw her young lady leaning on the arhat couch, she beckoned, and the little girl fetched a cloak knowingly.Before she had time to cover her young lady, there was a knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk Tuk".

"Miss Liu." A clear and clear voice shouted softly from outside.

Liu Qingqing raised her eyebrows, the little girl turned around the flower hall to welcome her out, she came back after a little leaning, and said curtly, "It's the girl in the mansion, who said the senior brother of the Junshan School, Wang... Wang..."

"Prince Wang." Seeing that she was undecided on what to call her, Xiaoxiao said it for her neatly.

The little girl nodded and said: "Yes. The girl in the mansion said that Mr. Wang has something to discuss with our lady, please move to the study."

Xiaoxiao turned her head and saw Liu Qingqing lowering her eyes thoughtfully, making it hard to see the look in her eyes.After a while, she smiled, gathered the cloak on her lap as if fearing the cold, and said with a bit of alienation and loneliness: "Let that girl answer the prince, and I will go there in a while."

When Su Zhe came back, the sun was already slanted, and as soon as he stepped into the back house, he saw a girl running over with a smile: "Miss Zhe, you are back. The senior brother called everyone to the front hall to discuss matters, and your senior brothers have all gone. It's been a while, just waiting for you and Miss Qi."

"Cao Xiaoman went out too?" Su Zhe asked while still walking towards the west wing room: "Tell Eldest Senior Brother, I'll change my clothes and go there."

When going up the stairs, the door of the next door opened first, and Xiao Xiao came out with the curtain closed. Su Zhe saw it, and asked with a smile from a distance of more than ten steps: "Has Cao Xiaomei not come back yet? Is your lady ready for dinner?" "

Xiaoxiao bent her body towards her, responded dryly, and went to the room where the three girls lived on the other side.

Su Zhe always felt that her face was sad, and she didn't know what happened, and she couldn't see clearly from a distance.She stood in front of the door for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, so she simply gave up.

When she opened the door, Xue Wanxiang was already standing in the small flower hall, seeing her coming in, she turned around and walked to the back room.Su Zhe smiled, stepped forward and tugged at her sleeve: "Who made my wife unhappy? Why didn't you pay attention to me when I came back."

Xue Wanxiang flicked his hands and closed his sleeves with a cold face, Su Zhe leaned over and put his arms around her waist: "But I'm late and you're worried?"

While talking, he rested his chin on her shoulder, sniffing the familiar warm fragrance on her body, and rubbed the tip of Su Zhe's nose against the side of her face.

Xue Wanxiang tilted her head and wanted to say something, but she felt that she had nothing to say, but she felt bored and wronged.Seeing that Su Zhe was still sticking to her, she stepped back with her heel and stepped on her: "Okay, I will step on you now!"

Su Zhe hissed, stomped his feet and grinned: "I've been riding a horse for a long time, and my feet are hurting!"

"You deserve it! Who asked you to ride that half-day horse." Xue Wanxiang left her arms and folded her clothes and fell on the bed, covering her face with a silk handkerchief.

Su Zhe chased to the edge of the couch, sat beside her and coaxed her: "It's not easy to talk in the inn, so I rode out of the city."

The silk handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms covered most of her face, and Xue Wanxiang made it clear that she didn't want to see her.Su Zhe took her catkins and held them gently in his hand, then sighed and said: "I told Senior Brother Zhao that I have someone I like, and this person is not in the Jianghu. Brother Zhao must have heard it clearly. of."

Xue Wanxiang's fingertips moved, but she didn't speak, nor did she withdraw her hand.Su Zhe waited for a while, remembering that senior brother ordered them to go to the front hall just now, but seeing Xue Wanxiang like this, she was worried.

"Wan Xiang..." She took her hand with one hand, and tentatively with the other, she tried to lift the silk handkerchief off her face.

A delicate jade-like face was revealed bit by bit, and Su Zhe saw Xue Wanxiang's eyes were tightly closed, with wet tears at the corners of his eyes.

"Wan Xiang, what's wrong with you?" She was panicked and distressed, and she stuck her tears on her fingertips.

Xue Wanxiang shook her head, and pushed her hand: "I'm fine. Didn't the senior brother look for you in front of me. You go first."

Su Zhe stared at her for a while, took her hand and put it on his heart, and said calmly, "Wan Xiang, don't be afraid, no matter what happens on Junshan, you and I will always be together. If Master and Wife Make it difficult for us, it’s a big deal, I will wander around the world with you, in the countryside or in the countryside, just be a pair of farmer husbands.”

"Are you willing to leave Junshan for me?" Xue Wanxiang opened her eyes, which were still covered with thin tears, and looked at her tenderly.

Su Zhe smiled softly: "For you, I will give up anything."

When it was time to light the lanterns, Cao Youqi came back from the outside, and before he entered the backyard, he was caught by Chen Hao and went to see the elder brother. It turned out that he was going back to Junshan tomorrow, so Wang Yupei asked them to pack their bags and go back from Chucheng. It only takes one day, but it takes two or three days to travel with the family members in a carriage.

Cao Youqi nodded in agreement, and asked that Su Zhe had also returned, so she let go of her anxiety and went back to her room.Wang Yupei called her to stop, as if he wanted to say something more, seeing her anxious and impatient face, Wang Yupei frowned, and waved her to go back.

It's early autumn, and the evening breeze is cool, bringing the fragrance of magnolia flowers.Cao Youqi hurried to the west wing, and when he got to the corridor, he saw her and Liu Qingqing's room was dimly lit. His heart warmed, and he ran back even faster.

In the house, Liu Qingqing was standing by the glazed wall, looking at the dimly lit courtyard, wondering what she was thinking.The window of the flower hall was wide open, the night wind blew past, and her frail figure was reflected in the flickering lights. Cao Youqi stood at the door and looked at her, her heart ached.
