176 Chapter 3.83 Let's go to see the moon
Volume Three

3.83 Why don’t we go look at the moon?
That night, Xue Family Manor, VIP Courtyard.

"Young Master, have a drink of water!" Qingwen gently patted the body of someone who was already lying on the carved rosewood bed. She carefully held a cup of herbal tea and handed it to her mouth. Drinking wine, now it’s better, the young master drank like this, the old man got under the table after drinking, and the second master sang that kind of ditty in front of everyone, it’s really embarrassing!”

"Hiss--" After patting his head, which still had a splitting headache, Zhou Yang helped his bed partner sit up, and Qingwen quickly handed over a pillow to put on it, "Girl Qing, what time is it? I remember the last time I woke up was in "

"In the living room of the main courtyard, I'm having a drink with the Second Master and Uncle Tadashi." Qingwen handed the teacup to Zhou Yang's mouth again angrily, "Drink some water, the young master knows that this will happen, why do you still drink it? They are the two masters. Together, father and son go into battle, it’s a blessing for you, it’s really weird for you to be alone and compete with them one on one!”

"Young man, I'm afraid they don't know what an 'alcohol test' is!" Zhou Yang said "arrogantly", "What's wrong with you two? In the end, I wasn't the young master and I was the last one to fall? What about the old guy? 'Jiang or Jiang Are you so old? Damn, didn’t you just lose the song in the end?
It's a pity that he is tone-deaf, and his singing is not as good as crying. He really missed such a good song in vain - well, how can he sing it?Let me think about it, it seems like - Ouch, why did you hit me! "

"How can the young master learn these shameful things that will dirty his ears!" Qingwen was so angry that she punched her fists hard until someone begged for mercy. "Besides, the slave was present at the time, and sister Qin was also present? Are you really? Yeah, there’s not a single clue in his mouth, he just sang some nonsense!”

"Okay, okay, my fault!" Zhou Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Modern wine venues are much more exaggerated than this. He has seen live broadcasts. "Good girl, go get the young master a glass of water and ask for herbal tea." ——If you drink too much of this wine, your stomach will feel like it's on fire. Fortunately, it's grain wine. If it were the so-called 'good wine' blended with alcohol, you might die if you drink more than two kilograms!"

"Young master, you are talking nonsense again. What else can this wine be made from besides grain? Could it be that like the gods in the sky, you can turn a wine pot into fine wine and jade liquid?" Qingwen handed the herbal tea to Zhou Yang again. , "Originally, my slave and Sister Qin agreed to go shopping around the surrounding scenery together in the afternoon, but now it's okay, they all spent it with the drunk!"

This island is really nice. The beautiful scenery is just like in a painting. I don’t know what to say. It’s just too humid. The bedding, which has been exposed to the sun, feels like it’s been sprinkled with water. There are also a lot of mosquitoes. Fortunately, Sister Qin brought the best mosquito coils, and the room was still able to hold up. "

"You two little girls, obviously five years apart, can be so in love with each other. It's fate!" Zhou Yang drank another cup of herbal tea in one breath and said with a sigh of relief, "The climate on the sea is like this, salty and humid. The sea breeze, widespread water vapor, and trees everywhere mean that the mosquitoes and moisture cannot be driven away."

"Young Master would have almost forgotten if you didn't talk about slaves. Sister Qin is only 12 years old this year (virtual age), but when you are with her, you feel like a little adult. You can't tell the difference at all." Qingwen said with a smile, "Why don't you talk to the second master? , let her come in as well, I will take good care of you."

"Nonsense!" Zhou Yang hit her angrily, "Sister Qin, you are 12 years old and you dare to hit someone else's attention, so I'm not afraid that my second uncle will call a cannon and blast you into a piece of meat! Not to mention she is a little girl. , even you, young master, are too young for me, so how could you."

"Where is my slave?" She stepped on Qingwen's lung tube. In a hurry, she grabbed the tea cup from Zhou Yang's hand and put it aside. She jumped on the bed and threw herself into Zhou Yang's arms. She didn't care that someone was being crushed. "Ouch" said, "This slave is obviously seventeen years old, but the young master just doesn't want her. Is it true that Sister Xiuyun said, the young master likes to be older!"

"It's time to deal with this girl again!" Someone who was denounced as a "Cao thief" was seriously dissatisfied. Zhou Yang pushed Qingwen to his side angrily, "Didn't I tell you? Girls get married too early. , the harm is very serious, if it happens."

"It's easy to kill two people, right?" Qingwen curled up in her young master's arms in grievance, "Obviously the sisters who are as old as slaves are married, but I haven't seen anything happen to them. Master—ouch!”

"Okay, don't think about those things that are available and not available. I won't do it if I say no. Anyway, you are already getting two taels of my aunt's monthly salary. You are no worse than the young lady in Rongguo Mansion. What else are you dissatisfied with?" Zhou Yang Angrily, he slid to the edge of the bed, hugged Qingwen and placed her on the floor in front of the bed, "Let's go, go out with me and move around to make your stomach feel better."

"But we are not familiar with this manor, where can we go?" Qingwen's tone was still aggrieved.

"Well," Zhou Yang finally realized, thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go see the moon? How about going up to the roof? Although the moon today is just a crescent moon, at least it's better than staying in the room. Bar?"

"Roof?" Qingwen's eyes lit up, but she refused sincerely, "Isn't it good? If someone sees it, don't be laughed to death."

"If you can keep your mouth straight and speak, maybe I will believe you, young master. Also, if you find it too hot, wear less clothes. There is nothing wrong in your own courtyard - let's go!" Zhou Yang knocked on her angrily. , went out to find a ladder.

Of course, the moon on the eighth day of the lunar month is not "full", but it is quite beautiful like a "crescent moon". In addition, the moonlight is not prominent, which just allows the stars in the sky to find the opportunity to shine. Although the sky is as blue as the wash, It cannot be displayed because of the night, but it is enough to give the dense stars a "platform" to fully display.

"Master, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are so pitiful." A certain maid who was sitting on the unobstructed roof and found the Altair and the Weaver Girl under Zhou Yang's guidance rarely showed her little girlish attitude at this moment, "We are so close, but it's only been a year." How pitiful it must be that we can only see each other once and only see each other across the river on weekdays." "Silly girl, what do you think of all this?" Zhou Yang smiled and tapped her lightly, "You have to fight for opportunities by yourself. As you said, if the Cowherd is not a mortal, but a peerless general like Erlang Zhenjun, what if he offends the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother? If he robs the Weaver Girl of her love in the lower world, wouldn't it be enough to say, "Listen to the tune but not the announcement"? "

"Pfft -" Qingwen couldn't help but laugh, "Young master, you said it lightly, but in this world, who can beat the Jade Emperor? Although Erlang Zhenjun said he was fine, he is the Jade Emperor's My dear nephew, it is easy for my family to discuss everything, how can outsiders be so casual?"

"It's really hard to get started with your own talents." Zhou Yang smiled and didn't say much more on this topic, "And you girl, now that I think about my daughter's things, why didn't I see you being reserved when I climbed on the roof just now? I was originally I was worried that you would fall, so I was going to help you up, but you were kind enough to jump on the ladder faster than I could climb, so I was so scared that I hurriedly followed up and came up underneath you!"

"Hmph, who told you, young master, to run so slowly? We are all going to come up anyway, so naturally I will be faster!" Qingwen raised her head arrogantly, but as she spoke, she became more and more unmotivated and her cheeks became slower. Slowly turning crimson, "Since it's slow, the young master can only wait in the back and crawl under the slave."

"Remember?" Looking at the girl in his arms who had buried her head in her chest in shame, pretending to be an ostrich, Zhou Yang suppressed his laughter and said, "I told you to wear less clothes if you feel too hot, but I didn't. You just put on a silk robe and ran out, it’s just your own yard, it will all be mine sooner or later, if so"

"Oh, Master, stop talking!" Qingwen rubbed herself in Zhou Yang's arms shyly, pounding down with her small fists, "If outsiders listen, this slave will not be alive anymore, don't say it, don't do it."

"Keke - it turns out that Sister Qingwen is like this. I'm really knowledgeable!" What's the saying?Weasels specialize in biting sick ducks. Just when Qingwen was dying of embarrassment and anger, a familiar sneer came from under the eaves, "Oh my, if you want your little sister to stop talking, you can't just call her good sister a few times." of!"

Regardless of the fact that Qingwen had already crawled into Zhou Yang's arms in embarrassment and wished she could never come out again. As the ladder clicked a few times, a petite figure climbed up, but who could it be if it wasn't Xue Baoqin?I saw her blessing Zhou Yang casually, rushing to Zhou Yang's side without any concern about the difference between men and women, hugging Qingwen and starting to tickle her.

"Woo - Xue Baoqin, just wait, don't fall into my hands!" Qingwen was so shy that she just acted like an ostrich in Zhou Yang's arms. Naturally, she couldn't avoid Xue Baoqin's hands, but she was done with it in just a moment. Zhou Yang had no choice but to stop him with a smile, while holding her to the other side for protection.

"Okay!" He smiled and tidied up his maid's clothes - actually it was just a silk robe. There was really nothing to tidy up. He pressed Xue Baoqin, who wanted to continue, and said with a smile, "Sister Qin, for my sake. , Can you please spare girl Qing?"

"Hee hee!" Looking at Qingwen who secretly exposed one of her eyes, Xue Baoqin smiled evilly and raised her cheek, making a shameful gesture. This girl actually didn't mean to be shy at all, and she didn't forget to continue the bickering. , "Now that Brother Zhou has said it, what else can little sister do? It's all your own family business anyway, and it won't be okay if little sister talks too much."

"Thank you so much, Sister Qin!" Zhou Yang smiled and gave her a slap on the head. As the saying goes, "You look old at the age of three." How could there be so many women who can write such grand poems as "Ten Nostalgic Poems"? Even though today's incident clearly crossed the line, she didn't take it seriously.

"Hmph, I will belong to the young master sooner or later, but" Qingwen continued to lose in the battle, "so what? The worst thing is that I would have served you one day earlier, but you, now that you have come up after hearing this, don't you know that men and women have differences?" No, how can we be so close?"

"I'm still young!" Xue Baoqin smiled and found a comfortable position, leaning on the other side of Zhou Yang, "Children can say anything; it's not like some girl has reached the age of marriage. At the age of [-], it’s okay if you can’t get married, but you still don’t feel ashamed—hey, I wonder if that’s why you can’t get married!”

"Xue Baoqin!" Qingwen was furious.
After a fight, it was clear that Qingwen was older and physically stronger, but because her clothes were not suitable, she was unable to "take action" with all her strength. In the end, Xue Baoqin had the upper hand, and she was forced to give her a tickle. If it weren't for Zhou Yang, "Slant frame", maybe she will be bullied badly.

"Both of you, be honest!" A certain young master didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Girl Qin, you came here today not to bully my maid, right?"

"During lunch, I heard that Brother Zhou is going back to Jinling soon? Why don't you take your little sister with you? You can also see Sister Bao -" Xue Baoqin said the purpose.

"Second uncle's place." Zhou Yang really didn't expect that a little girl of eleven or twelve would dare to be so bold.

"Hehe, brother Zhou, don't worry!" Xue Baoqin lay down next to Zhou Yang, his little eyes darting around, "My dad won't stop you."
