No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 112 Xie Lingjiang: I'm Asking for Senior Brother
The night was quiet.

In the dark night, it seems that the sky is covered with boundless thick ink.

There are two adjoining boudoirs in the deep house of Su Mansion.

One plaque is named Yilanxuan, and the other is named Meiyingzhai.

The former planted orchids, while the latter planted plums.

The two courtyards are very close to each other. Between the two courtyard walls, there is a three-step-wide bluestone corridor. Looking down from a height, it looks like a ray of sky.

In Meiyingzhai, there were insects chirping several times, and a boudoir was sleeping in the dark night.

On the second floor of the boudoir, the doors, windows, and wall panels are all made of precious nanmu, the furniture is classic, and there are rows of bookshelves. There is an empty beauty couch by the window, and two or three books are scattered beside the pillow.

Every detail in the room reveals the lazy and elegant character of the mistress of the boudoir.

In the back room, where the moonlight cannot shine.

A very elegant embroidered bed sits quietly, with embroidered bed curtains and curtains.

A gauze curtain with green and double embroidered flowers and insects is hung, covering the scene inside the bed.

However, only Su Gu'er knew that this gauze curtain was quite special, and one could see the general scene outside when looking from the inside.

Su Gu'er woke up naturally in the middle of the night again.

She dreamed of the low-browed old fortune teller and his motto again.

Su Guer's body was slightly curled up, her embroidered quilt was sideways, her cold eyes looked through the gauze curtain to the half-closed window not far away, and she vaguely saw the scenery outside the window.

It seems that he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

Su Gu'er raised her eyebrows slightly.

She silently pursed her dry red lips.

Immediately, a slender jade hand stretched out from the gap in the tent, opened the gauze curtain, a pair of long legs under the skirt bent out of the bed, two ice cream-like feet wrapped in light pink socks, it took two tries Came across the embroidered shoes under the bed.

There are girls who are lazy with their shoes.

With a blanket wrapped around her arms, she walked to the window, tilted her head and looked up at the lonely shadow under the moon on the roof next door.

Su Baoer stopped for a moment, then suddenly pushed open the two casements completely, and climbed onto the window sill.

The originally elegant and demure girl with plum blossom makeup, like an agile cat, climbed out of the balcony and climbed onto the roof with ease.

She didn't even look at the gap between the eaves of the roof here and the eaves of the roof next door, she jumped across it without hesitation.

Look at this set of movements so smoothly and so skillfully, not even a tile of the roof fell off.

If a sleeping bun-faced little maid in the companion room downstairs was here right now, she would definitely rub her eyes and mouth and say, "Miss Wu is flying again..."

Wrapped lightly in a thin blanket, Su Gu'er came to the roof of Yilanxuan, walked to the side of Xie Lingjiang, who was pretty and dazed, and sat down calmly, not disliking the dust from the eaves.

The two girls sat side by side on the roof.

On their heads, there are bright stars, inlaid in the dark night.

There is another bright moon hanging alone among the stars, like a shining orb.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly felt that this moon was very much like the luminous pearl that the elder brother gave her, but it was a pity that she hadn't asked for it back yet.

At this time, the younger sister of the Su family unceremoniously stretched out her hand to Xie Lingjiang who seemed to be in a daze beside her, and asked lightly:

"liquor."

The latter shook his head slightly.

From when Su Gu'er climbed on the roof to now when she came here to sit down and beg for drinks, Xie Lingjiang didn't go to see her the whole time.

Su Gu'er couldn't help looking sideways.

I saw Xie Lingjiang embracing his knees with one hand, sitting alone under the moonlight, holding a pot of small wine jug in his right hand.

She tilted her head and looked at the dark courtyard next to a certain plum grove in the distance, her pretty face seemed to be in a daze, and the side of the small wine pot with red paper in her hand was about to touch the girl's fair face.

Sitting on the sloping roof, keeping her knees bent, her long and healthy legs pressed hard against her broad chest, which was already bulging and wasting fabric, and it was a little deformed under the pressure.

Even the scale overflowing from the edge of the legs, in the eyes of Su Gu'er who excluded herself first, was bigger than the colorful ribbon.

And all of this, Xie Lingjiang seemed to be unaware, his star-reflecting eyes silently stared at the direction of Meiluyuan,

Su Gu'er silently withdrew her gaze.

"If you just drink it by yourself, it will be very boring." She stared at the moon without squinting.

Xie Lingjiang shook his head, "There's no more wine."

She silently put down the wine jar in her hand and let out a long breath.

Su Bao'er curled her lips, "Then why are you still holding a wine jar in your hand? Looking for plum blossoms to quench your thirst?"

Xie Lingjiang ignored it, turned his head suddenly and said, "Some wine can relieve sorrow, and some sorrow can relieve alcohol."

"..." Su Gu'er.

"You don't understand." Xie Lingjiang shook his head lightly.

The room between the two was quiet for a while, then she turned around and asked:

"Have you found the Cici of Going Home?"

Su Guer sighed softly:
"It may have been burned. It wasn't the fire in the Lotus Pagoda a hundred years ago, or the fire in the rebuilt Gongde Pagoda later. Anyway, looking at it now, it's hard to survive."

Xie Lingjiang nodded, "Is this thing important to you?"

Su Gu'er was silent for a while, looked up at the moon and said: "There is not much time left for the Su family."

Xie Lingjiang glanced at her and said:

"These words are for Uncle Su and Aunt Wei, but you, a young lady who is waiting for a baby, worry a lot. Besides, what's the relationship between the two?"

Su Gu'er turned her head and asked, "Do you believe in fate?"

"Do not believe."

After a pause, Xie Lingjiang looked into the distance and said without squinting: "Brother doesn't believe in fate either, he said it depends on human effort."

"So you don't believe it either?" Su Gu'er squinted at her.

"No, I just think what he said makes sense." Xie Lingjiang lowered his eyes.

She turned her head and said seriously: "Actually, it's good to be safe and sound now."

Su Gu'er looked away: "Maybe."

There was silence between the two of them for a while, only the night wind howled, and Su Bao'er tightened the blanket around her body.

Xie Lingjiang asked curiously, "Is your birthday coming soon?"

"how do you know?"

"I see that some of the servant girls in the mansion have been busy recently, and it seems to be arranging a birthday gift for you."

"Yeah." Su Gu'er said casually, "It's nothing more than some relatives or strangers coming to make a noise."

Xie Lingjiang laughed.

Those distant relatives of your family are not simple at all.

But she didn't say that, maintaining a kind of tacit understanding.

Su Guer's mind was obviously on other things, she turned her head and said:

"After the fifteenth day of this month, find some free time and accompany me to Donglin Temple. Without you as an excuse, Aniang won't let me go out."

"It's because you've been there too many times." Xie Lingjiang shook his head, and asked curiously, "Why is it that the fifteenth day of this month is past, isn't there still half a day left?"

Su Guer pouted and said:

"Those monks from Donglin Temple didn't learn well, and they wanted to fool some faithful men and women to burn incense and pray for marriage during the temple fair on the [-]th day.

"I heard that it is warming up these few days. It seems that the mountain is going to be lively for a while. It is better not to go there before the fifteenth day. It will be bad if my mother and father misunderstand something."

"Marriage Festival Temple Fair..."

Xie Lingjiang was taken aback, muttered something, and asked calmly: "Donglin Temple is very helpful in seeking marriage?"

"I don't know, if you are interested, ask yourself."

Su Gu'er answered casually, and after a pause, she turned her head:
"Why? Why are you interested in this? Didn't your father say that you rejected the marriage proposals of many young talents and wanted to aspire to Confucianism?"

Seeing the suspicious expression of the female companion beside him, Xie Lingjiang pretended to frown, staring intently at the night scene ahead, waved his sleeves and said:

"Sister Su, what are you talking nonsense about? I'm here...to ask my senior brother. Every time I go to eat, Aunt Zhen asks this and that, worrying about my senior brother's marriage, and wants me to recommend and introduce the sisters in the family for my senior brother. , it's really boring."

"I see." Su Gu'er nodded, "You treat your senior brother very well, so you don't worry about this matter."

Xie Lingjiang didn't answer, he looked around at the night scene, and from the corner of his eye, he quietly glanced at the direction of a certain yard in Meilu Garden.

Eldest brother still owes her a small wish.

At this time, a certain girl from the Xie family has a little faith in fate again, and she will come to the pillow when she is sleepy. Isn't this fate?
Well, you can be a little more trustworthy in the future.

But unexpectedly, Su Gu'er, who had been silent all this time, suddenly turned her head and said:

"You said that Aunt Zhen wanted to find a marriage for your elder brother with a woman with five surnames. Well, this is quite normal. For a woman with five surnames, no one in the Zhou Dynasty would want to marry a man. welcome."

She curled her lips, paused, and then said with a smile:
"However, why do I feel that Aunt Zhen is eyeing you, Sister Xie's family? You just happen to be a junior junior sister and have a good relationship with Ouyang Lianghan. If I were his aunt, I would definitely do the same...

"Well, sister Xie's family should be more careful, but don't accidentally ask Aunt Zhen to ask your father to propose marriage. It will be embarrassing if she refuses."

Su Gu'er finished speaking with a half-smile, but immediately saw that the face of the sister of Xie's family beside her changed, and she couldn't see clearly in the night.

"What's wrong, sister Xie?" She asked curiously.

"No...it's fine."

Su Gu'er looked at Xie Lingjiang's stiff face again, and suddenly said:
"Oh, I see. Did Aunt Zhen try to propose to your father before, so sister Xie is embarrassed to say it now?"

She nodded lightly, reassuring for the female companion beside her:
"Then it's fine, it's normal, it turned out that she has already refused, no wonder she can feel at ease asking you about these matchmaking matters, it seems that she doesn't dare to say thank you sister anymore, that's easy, thank sister, feel free, Go introduce a clan sister, maybe you can even get closer to your elder brother."

After the words fell, Su Gu'er, who was smiling and tilting her head, suddenly heard a "shaking".

A small pocket wine jar that was originally placed at the feet of a certain girl rolled down the eaves. After a while, there was a crisp sound of broken bottles from below, breaking the silence of the night.

"No... If you're not careful, don't blame Sister Su."

Facing Su Gu'er's slightly probing eyes, a certain lady from the Xie family forced a smile and explained.

"It seems that sister Xie is really drunk. Let's go to bed early and be careful when going down the roof."

Su Guer laughed.

Xie Lingjiang didn't reply, and the atmosphere between the two fell into a cold spot.

Seeing this, Su Gu'er said goodbye and left without thinking too much.

But he didn't see behind him, Xie Lingjiang was sitting alone under the moon, his face was a little pale.

After Su Gu'er left, she didn't know if it was on the roof, but she sat alone with her knees hugged for a long time.

Until there are passing clouds in the sky, covering the bright moon, the sky and the earth are dark, and then the clouds are lifted to see the moon, and the clear light shines again.

On the roof, she was no longer there.

Only the howling night wind intercepted the woman's murmur:

"Everything depends on man's effort...it's all on man's effort...that's why you don't believe in fate..."

……

In Meilu Garden, Meilin Courtyard.

The black light is blind.

Inside the house, the sound of the night wind blowing the doors and windows could be heard faintly.

The air in the room seemed more and more quiet.

On the bed, the rhythmic breathing of the handsome young man and the white-haired servant girl under the quilt was particularly loud.

The master and servant fell into a deep sleep.

sometime.

"Master...don't...don't hit...master..."

The white-haired maid smacked her mouth from time to time, turned her back to the handsome young man, and hugged the quilt, as if she regarded it as her master and hugged and curled up tightly. She babbled dreamily from time to time, and she did not know that she dreamed of something unforgettable. .

And the quilt covered by a certain wronged owner who was sleeping on his back was pulled aside by the white-haired maid, and most of his body was exposed for a while, and he didn't know if he would catch a cold.

Presumably when he wakes up in the morning, if he has a runny nose, the white-haired maid will inevitably be "disposed by the family law" by the master again.

It's a pity that there is a faint fragrance like sandalwood but not sandalwood in the house, which has been permeating since I don't know when.

The two fell asleep and couldn't wake up.

The bright moon outside the window seemed to be covered by a burst of dark clouds, and the room darkened accordingly.

In the darkness beside the bed, suddenly stretched out a strange thin hand, trembling in the air, and finally landed on Ouyang Rong's face.

Thin hands slowly stroked the curves of his angular face.

From bushy eyebrows, to a high nose, to stern lips.

The four fingertips stroked slowly all the way down.

Like the willows hanging by the water, the water surface is blown in the breeze.

It is so gentle that it seems to be afraid of scratching the swimming fish at the bottom.

In the bed, apart from the breathing of Ouyang Rong and Wei Lai, there was another inexplicable sound of breathing.

When stroking Ouyang Rong's face with thin hands, the sound of breathing was a bit rapid at first, but then it seemed to be suppressed, and the sound of breathing gradually became smaller and even inaudible.

At this moment, the bright moon outside the window seemed to break free from the dark clouds covering it.

The light in front of the bed became brighter.

A slender black shadow standing still could be faintly seen.

The slender black shadow carried a straight "long strip" on its back.

Face the bed, back to the window.

The head of this slender black shadow seemed to be deflected occasionally. Against the background of the moonlight, a pair of eyes like autumn water and streams could be seen for a moment, but then disappeared into darkness again.

Only the thin hand was still sticking to Ouyang Rong's face reluctantly.

And under the halo of moonlight beside the bed.

Faintly saw that this thin hand only had four fingers.

Missing a little finger.

"Well……"

At this moment, the sleeping Ouyang Rong muttered, as if his body was cold, he subconsciously hugged the right arm extended by the slender black figure.

He turned sideways, crossed his arms, curled up slightly, and fell asleep with his face buried.

"what."

The slender black figure seemed to be frightened, shrank back, and let out a slight voice.

However, when she reacted, she stopped in an instant and let Ouyang Rong tightly hug her right hand missing her little finger.

The atmosphere continued to fall into silence.

In front of the bed, there is moonlight as gentle as water.

On the bed, the eyes are as gentle as water.

　Completed, four thousand words!Sorry guys, try not to be like this next time woo woo woo...
