box of hearts

Chapter 192
Through the carpet of silver and red flowers, the coldness of the brick floor is still transmitted to the knees.Wu Range shivered, and kowtowed very slowly.

"The slave takes orders."

"That's right." Wang smiled lightly, with a face full of profoundness and inscrutability, "It is recorded in "Historical Records", Duke Huan of Qi lamented one day that he had tasted all the delicacies in the world, but he had never eaten human flesh. Cook your own son as meat soup and present it to the lord. Now, we don't ask you to cook your own son, but we just give you a chance to make up for your mistakes and show your loyalty. Besides, I heard that your adopted son Wu Yi is very capable. Although he is young, he is already well-known among a group of young martial arts practitioners, as long as his hands and feet are clean, and he is not like his good-for-nothing old man, he can get away safely. Get up and go back and have a good talk with Wu Yi." Inspector Wang After passing the upper body, as if planting a few seeds in the soil, he buried a few words into Wu Ran's ear hole.Then she straightened up and brushed a few strands of loose long hair behind her shoulders, "Didn't you always want this adopted son to get a half-degree of merit in the exam? This year, the emperor's wedding will open Enke, and I will guarantee him a top three."

It is also the few seeds that Wang planted in Wu Ran's ears and eyes, which bear the next evil results one after another——

When spring comes when all things sprout.

There is only a hint of spring news in the middle of Beijing, but the south is full of spring charm.The Slender West Lake in Yangzhou is filled with smoky warmth even in the lake breeze. The Anlu Water Palace by the lake is fragrant and the Yuxuan is warm.

Inside the curtains of the Xuan window, behind a gauze screen where Diao Chan worships the moon, there is a bulging mouth. With a "poof", he sprayed the mouthful of wine on an embroidered dress, and blew it into an iron. "At the end of the new year, New Year's Day and Lantern Festival, there are people who give 'charcoal respect' and festival gifts everywhere. After dealing with these people, there are also official examinations and introductions from officials inside and outside Beijing, as well as sacrificial offerings, congratulations, and sutra feasts in the palace. , let alone this year's big wedding of the emperor and empress, everything is inseparable from the third master alone. I have been so busy last month that I didn't forget to send people thousands of miles to deliver New Year's goods to the girl. Those pheasants outside the pass, White fish from the Songhua River, gazelle from Gansu, winter bamboo shoots from Anhui...the imperial palace may not be more complete than ours. Based on this concern alone, the girl should take care of herself more, worry less and think less, and don't stay up all night Weeping, don't you have to worry the third master?"

"Who stayed up all night crying? You're talking nonsense." In half a year, Qing Tian had grown a full head of new hair, fluffy and sticking to his ears.Holding the knotted black pearl thread in his hand, he gave Mu Yun a white look.

Mu Yun ironed the corner of her clothes and giggled, "Yo, I don't admit it! I heard it clearly. It was almost four o'clock last night and I tossed and turned. I got up again and touched the thin paper to blow my nose. Is it not tears? What is it? "

Qing Tian was suddenly speechless.Since living in Anlu, seven months flew by, and Qi She's letters have accumulated a small pile.Every time she reads his letter, she can't wait to follow the words on the paper to touch the pen that wrote those words, follow the pen to the hand holding the pen, and then hold that hand tightly so that he can lift her from the other side of the paper. One end was pulled out, pulled into his chest, and pressed under him.No, she didn't doubt, nor was she afraid, she never even cared about the hundreds of days and thousands of miles separating them, but only under the real weight of his body could her floating soul be safely possessed, Nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this feeling, Qing Tian's cheeks flushed slightly, "Even if I can't fall asleep thinking about the third master in the middle of the night, why do you listen to me because you are thinking about who you can't sleep?"

The little maid, Ying Zhi, sat head to head on the twig under the kang and played the wire, and laughed "puchi" when she heard this.

Mu Yun's face was instantly hotter than the iron in his hand, and he glared at Ying Zhi vigorously, "You little idiot dare to laugh at me? Be careful, I'll ask the girl to send you out to be married soon!"

Qing Tian joked, "Yes, the little flower girl who is building bamboo and tree in the back garden is so pretty, you can follow him and stay here in Yangzhou City."

Yingzhi "teng" jumped up from the scorpion, her little face turned red and she couldn't tell, "I will only follow my mother all my life, so I won't marry!" She was so frightened that she lost her work and ran away in three steps at a time. , that posture has long been that of a Tingting girl who has just grown up.

Not long after, amidst the laughter of Qingtian and Muyun, they held their faces together and came back coyly, "Madam, please see Mrs. Huang."

Mrs. Huang was wearing a satin dress with a red base, a cotton skirt of agarwood color, and dragon and phoenix embroidered shoes with a flower pattern.

To pass on the felt strips is a great gift, Qingtian hastily stopped her, but Mrs. Huang insisted on kowtowing three times before asking the servant girl to help her up, "Congratulations, empress, congratulations, empress."

Qingtian was very surprised, "Where does the joy come from?"

"The prince regent has an order," Mrs. Huang raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I will take my mother back to Beijing immediately."

Qingtian's ears and eyes were shocked, it seemed that there was a bell and fireworks somewhere, announcing a grand joy.The level of grandeur is like a whole big Beijing.

The best time, who expects it to be a long time. The melancholy is dark, I want to respond to the wonderful dance and clear songs, but I am still right, the autumn scenery is sighing. There is only a painting building, when the moon is bright, and there are two lovesickness places .”
