Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 219 Xia Zhiqing is trapped

The poems are easy to understand. After reading it, Xia Zhiqing felt her face turn slightly red.

There is a beauty in the white snow. Her delicate and beautiful appearance is the best in the world. Her expression is like the lake in spring, and her eyebrows are in the shape of spring mountain daisy.

Walking like a water lotus flower, which can be blown down by a gust of wind, when I see it, I feel pity in my heart.

Missing the beautiful lady makes her sick, but the beautiful lady doesn't know it.

Xia Zhiqing only felt her heart tingling. The thing was given to her, which meant that the beauty above was her.

And that person missed her and got lovesick.

Especially the first sentence, there is a beautiful woman in the snow, her face is as beautiful as the world, which makes her eyes full of shame and annoyance.

I didn't expect that I had such a high opinion in that person's mind.

The most important thing is that the poems on this handkerchief were not written but embroidered. Looking at the crooked embroidered words, Xia Zhiqing even had a funny picture of a young girl becoming a heroine in her mind.

This shows how thoughtful this gift is to her.

"But there is no connection between me and him anymore. What does he mean by sending this love poem now?" Xia Zhiqing twisted her handkerchief, her thoughts were flying, and the strangeness in her heart that she had suppressed and hidden grew again.

She said angrily in her heart: "Why are you lovesick? You haven't come to see me for so many days since you came back. And I can't even see you, so how could I know?"

Xia Zhiqing licked her pink lips, her beautiful cheeks flushed with shame. She knew clearly that this was not allowed, but she couldn't bear to let go of the handkerchief and bracelet in her hands.

She stared at the bracelet for a long time, and then said quietly: "Zhining was bullied like that. It's not because she wore something he gave her. Why can't she wear it?"

While muttering, he put the bracelet given by Chen Mo on his wrist.

The size is just right.

This only made Xia Zhiqing feel even more shy.

At this moment, she heard the door open and Xia Zhining walked in.

Xia Zhiqing turned around in a panic and hid the handkerchief in her sleeve. When she was about to take off the bracelet, she suddenly thought of why she wanted to hide it, so she didn't take it off.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Xia Zhining came over, walked around to Xia Zhiqing, looked carefully, and then found the white jade bracelet on her wrist, and exclaimed: "Wow, what a beautiful bracelet, sister, where did this bracelet come from?"

She naturally knew that the bracelet was a gift from that bastard, but when she saw her sister wearing the thing that the bastard had given her directly on her hand, she felt a little disgusted in her heart.

You know, this bracelet was not forced by that bastard on my sister.

"Oh, I bought it on the street when you were away, Zhining. It's an ordinary jade material that looks better but isn't worth a lot of money." Xia Zhiqing explained.

If Chen Mo hadn't told her everything he had given her, Xia Zhining would have almost believed it.

Seeing that her sister was so easy to make up lies, Xia Zhining didn't know whether she was happy or sad. She grabbed her sister's hand with the jade bracelet, rubbed the jade bracelet, and said: "Sister, this bracelet looks good, but it's not worth it." How much money can you give to me?"

Xia Zhiqing: "..."

It's not enough to take her hosta and pearl necklace.

Now even the bracelets are being snatched.

If it had been before, she might have actually given it to her.

But now, for some reason, she had no idea of ​​giving it back. Instead, she had the idea of ​​snatching back the hosta and pearl necklace.

"You already have so many jewelry, why do you need this bracelet?"

"Oh, sister, do I just like it? Please give it to me, sister." Xia Zhining even made a point of coquettishly.

"No, I also like this bracelet, so I can't give it to you." Xia Zhiqing rarely said no to her sister, but this time, she said it. In order not to arouse suspicion, she quickly changed the subject and said:

"Zhining, where were you just now?"

Seeing her sister like this, Xia Zhining clenched the five fingers of her right hand calmly. Naturally, she didn't really want to steal her sister's bracelet, but was trying to test it.

Seeing how precious her sister is, Xia Zhining understood that maybe that bastard's method could really succeed.

Xia Zhining chuckled and said, "I didn't go anywhere, so I went out for a walk to relax."

"Oh."

……

December seventeenth.

When Xia Zhining was absent, Chunhong knocked on the door of the wing again and gave Xia Zhiqing a pair of gloves.

"Madam, this is what the master gave you. He said these things are called gloves. Wear them on your hands. He also asked your slave to give you a message. It's getting cold. Please keep warm and don't catch a cold."

……

December 18th.

This time Xia Zhining was also in the side room. Chunhong gave a food box and said, "These are the dumplings that the master brought from home. The master has already asked the slave to heat them up and give them to the two ladies."

"Whoever eats his food, take it away." Xia Zhining said deliberately.

"Wait a minute." Xia Zhiqing spoke. She fiddled with the jade bracelet on her wrist and said, "Fortunately, it's his intention, and... I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time. If you don't eat them, you'll get nothing."

After that, he asked Chunhong to stay.

When Xia Zhining saw this, she didn't force it.

Xia Zhiqing opened the food box. In addition to dumplings, chopsticks and sauces were also prepared.

Xia Zhiqing picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dumplings, dipped them in the sauce, took a small bite, and then narrowed her eyes slightly. It turned out to be her favorite stuffed mushrooms and shrimps. This gave her a deep surprise.

Xia Zhining pretended to be confused: "It's stuffed with mushrooms and shrimps. I remember that this is your favorite stuffing, sister. How did that bastard know? He must have had some ulterior motives."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Xia Zhiqing said.

"What a coincidence. Let's not talk about mushrooms. They are dry goods, and they are also available in winter. But shrimps are a rare commodity in winter. It is so cold that the lakes are frozen. If you want to eat shrimps, you have to cut through the ice and pick them from the rivers and lakes. Salvaged, it can be seen that this is not a coincidence at all, but he did it deliberately.

I knew that breaking it off was just talk, sister, that bastard definitely still has bad intentions for you. "Xia Zhining analyzed: "As for why I know you like to eat mushrooms and shrimps, it must be from what you usually eat. "

Xia Zhiqing didn't think much about it at first, but when she heard her sister's words, she immediately understood that this dumpling was also a gift given to her by that person.

It can be said that it is so thoughtful to be able to figure out her favorite food from the dishes she usually eats.

She lowered her head, Xia Zhiqing's jade cheeks were as red as clouds, her heart beat very fast, feeling the delicious shrimp blooming in her mouth, she only felt a little sweet, but she said on her lips: "Zhi Ning, it’s not as exaggerated as you said, it’s just a coincidence.”

"What a coincidence, he still has ulterior motives for you. Sister, you have to be careful." Xia Zhining said.

Xia Zhiqing nodded, just a little confused, then picked up another dumpling and dipped it in the sauce to eat.

In the next two days, Chen Mo would send small gifts every day. When Xia Zhining was away, Chunhong handed them over to Xia Zhiqing.

This made Xia Zhiqing's desire to see Chen Mo more and more urgent.

But since December 20th, for three days in a row, Xia Zhiqing did not receive Chen Mo's gift or the message Chunhong gave to her.

In the study room, you can hear a needle drop at this time.

Sun Meng, Li Yunzhang, Geng Songfu, Zhang He and other middle and high-level officials are all here.

"This Yang Minggui is greedy. Since Chen Shuai took over Pingting County, he has come to us again and again to ask for money and food, but he has given very little in return." Zhang He enrolled in the county school, and after being influenced by the scholarly atmosphere, he said The words are different.

"Desire is never-ending. If you give once, there will be a second and third time. This time you ask for 50,000 stone grains and 50,000 guan of money. If you give them, you will only think that we are easy to bully." Zhao Daoxian said.

"Yes, I can't give it." Sun Meng and others also agreed, but Geng Songfu did not speak.

Chen Mo tapped the table with his fingers, glanced at Geng Songfu, and said, "Mr. Geng County Cheng, what do you think of this matter?"

Geng Songfu said with a smile: "Chen Shuai already has an idea in his mind, why do you need to ask me?"

Chen Mo glanced at the system panel again.

[Name: Chen Mo. 】

[Kung Fu: Ziyang Huayuan Gong (Proficiency 9341.9/10000). 】

[Realm: Accepting Qi (Fifth Grade). 】

[Strength: 712. 】

[Skills: Sun Strike (Elementary 2536590/5000000), Cloud Chasing Arrow (Advanced 113580/200000). 】

"Here, but we can't give him the amount he wants. We'll cut the money and food in half and send someone over." Chen Mo said.

"Yes" Zhang He wanted to say more, but when he saw Chen Mo's expression of decision, he could only stop and said respectfully: "No."

After everyone left one after another, Chen Mo looked at the letter sent from Xia Lin on the table, and a cold light burst out in his eyes: "The day when you spit it out is not far away."

At noon, Chunhong's voice sounded outside the study, saying: "Master, it's time for lunch."

Chen Mo put down his brush and said, "Send it in."

"promise."

After a while, Chunhong came in with two slaves carrying a basin of warm water.

The two slaves each held a food box and placed it in front of Chen Mo's table.

The basin of warm water that Chun Hong brought was naturally for Chen Mo to wash his hands before eating.

After Chen Mo finished washing his hands, Chunhong handed over a dry towel for Chen Mo to wipe his hands, then pointed to one of the food boxes and said: "The food in this is made by Mrs. Xia herself."

Hearing this, Chen Mo put down the towel and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. It seemed that his plan was going well.

Before eating, he picked up the pen again and wrote a note, asking Chunhong to hand it over to Xia Zhiqing.

the other side.

In the side room, Xia Zhiqing didn't know how she managed to cook for Chen Mo.

But what she didn't know was that it was because of Chen Mo's sudden irresponsibility that she was worried about what was going to happen, and wanted to use this method of cooking to attract Chen Mo's attention.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xia Zhining looked at her sister's absent-minded look and asked deliberately.

"Ah, it's nothing, eat, eat." Xia Zhiqing said.

After finishing the meal, Xia Zhiqing called Chunhong and walked out of the room with the bowl and chopsticks on the pretext of helping her.

Then Chunhong handed Xia Zhiqing a note.

Xia Zhiqing opened it and took a look.

Chen Mo: "When will you give me a gift?"
