box of hearts

Chapter 14 Zhan Chunkui (13)
"I really don't need it. I've heard a lot of rumors lately, saying that my money was not given by relatives, but by a small class waiter, and it's not your trouble that it spread to the ears of your guests?"

"What kind of gossip? Didn't the sisters just start talking about winning the championship for you? We've been friends for so many years, so it's time to spread the word. Just don't worry, even Xizhu who is acting like a mischief doesn't dare to let it go behind your back." Small talk. Let me put it bluntly, who in our business doesn’t find some fun behind the scenes? These little hoofs in Huaihua Hutong are benefactors, benefactors, mistresses, not to mention mistresses , There are plenty of grooms, who hasn't got a handle on others? No one dares to be too pretentious."

"That's what you say, but you spend a lot of money on buying new clothes all day long, and you always make money tight for me, which makes me feel bad."

Qingtian giggled, cupped Qiao Yunze's face with both hands, and pressed against him nose to nose, "Oh, Qiao Da Zhuangyuan has become more polite to me? If you really treat me with some conscience, don't be here." I'm like this all day long, and I can't do my best for you by your side. I can feel better if you accept these things. Anyway, those dead plagues are worse than the other, Money is easy to come by, and it is not spent in vain.”

Qiao Yun didn't even need to look at the face value of those bank notes. In short, he sold his beautiful heart, and he couldn't afford it even if he sold his life. Flesh and flesh——his divine light was on and off, as if at a certain moment, he would take out the stack of banknotes and throw it straight back at Qing Tian's face, but in the end he just smiled affectionately, "You are also sick!" Terrific."

Qing Tian patted him lightly with a smile, and immediately raised his face, pursing his plump, rosy lips without modification.It was waiting for a kiss, not like a whore's waiting, but like a child.

So Qiao Yun kissed her, like kissing a child, using his lips to touch her tenderly and tenderly.Next, he stared at her for a full half a day, with all the years gone by in his eyes.

At the end, he took a deep breath, and his tone became low and hoarse: "By the way, five days later, Jiao Zun, the richest man in the capital, will have a banquet in the mansion. I'll go too. I'll call your note when the time comes."

Qingtian turned his face away, grabbed a candied apricot from the small pot beside him, stuffed it into his mouth and sucked it, "I will try my best, but I can't say for sure. You also know that there are two days for the Dragon Boat Festival to rest in summer, and Tangzi won't do it." For business, the old man said that he would take me to the East Garden of Fu’s House to escape the summer heat, it’s so annoying.”

Qiao Yunze's throat rolled, and he couldn't swallow or spit out something, "You must come to this dinner."

"What's so important?"

"Nothing, I want you to come."

Qingtian smiled and nodded with his finger in his mouth, "Okay then, I'll find a way not to go to Fu's East Garden."

"must?"

"must."

For some reason, Qiao Yunze's deep eyes were filled with water.He also nodded slightly, turned his face away calmly, "Mu Yun, bring me that burden."

Mu Yun followed his instructions and took a satin bag from the case.Qiao Yun took it and put it at Qingtian's feet, and opened it with his own hands.

Qingtian's body wrapped under a thin elastic garment froze, and he sat there staring blankly.Mu Yun suddenly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, two lines of tears fell down.Inside the smoky-colored furoshiki is a neatly stacked wedding gown for a woman wearing a peony phoenix, with golden buttons of butterfly love flowers, and nearly two inches of embroidered lace at the cuffs. fine beads.

Qiao Yun said indifferently: "I did it with my own hands, and the craftsmanship was born, so I didn't do it well."

Qingtian smiled with bloodshot eyes, yes, she almost forgot that the champion among the dragons and phoenixes was just a little tailor back then, and he will always be her little tailor.

The jade ruler and gold scissors are seamless; you have hugged me inch by inch, and there is no need to measure fat or thin everywhere.

She put her arms around him and hid her face behind his shoulder.It's always worth it, those sudden anger and joy towards other men for his sake, Qiao Zhang's flirting, those frivolous, frivolous, begging for mercy, because only this person regards her as an upright person, a man who deserves such a good man A good woman who cut a wedding dress by herself.

Qiao Yun hugged Qingtian, and said firmly: "As soon as my official position is released, I will marry you as my wife with three matchmakers, six hires, and eight sedan chairs."

Qingtian smiled and shed tears, and smiled silently, then she smiled and shook her head, "Ah Yun, I am from a wrong family background, if you are married by an official matchmaker, you will be punished once the officials correct you. How many years have you worked hard to get it Singing in the Golden Palace, being the champion, a rare honor for the elite, the future given by God cannot be wasted like this. Take me as a concubine, and treat me wholeheartedly for three years. After three years, you will find another good relationship among the daughters of your dead family. If In the future, your wife will be jealous of me, so I will imitate Yu Xuanji[20] and become a monk with clothes on and drink while the years pass."

Qiao Yun also shook his head, "I will marry you."

"Ayun, don't be so stubborn, I understand your heart, but—"

"Qiao Yun married Duan Qingtian." His words were like iron stones, but his lips were as gentle as water, and he pressed them lightly.

In his mouth, Qingtian cried until he died.

Mu Yun at the back was already in tears, she pulled up her cuffs, pressed her face, and exited the room without a sound.

There was a bright moon outside, Mu Yun bypassed the colorful lanterns, only chose the remote place where the moonlight came, and slipped out of the courtyard from the back stairs.She leaned on the doorpost at one end and looked up in a daze, but suddenly she screamed, and turned around to hit someone's hand, "Xiao Zhao, you are a dead man, you scared me out of my wits!"

It was a young man who looked a little dull, and smiled to touch Mu Yun's flowery collar, "What is wrong with you, crying and laughing at the same time?"

Mu Yun has a round face with a square face. Although the two eyebrows are thicker, they are slightly curved like the moon in the third and fourth grades of junior high school. With ginkgo eyes with single eyelids, they are delicate and sharp, especially when they are crying. A bit delicate; just pushing Xiao Zhao with his hands, "It's dark, where did you come out from?"

"I was scolded by my second sister all the time. I didn't dare to go in. I just thought you'd have to come out. I've been waiting for you here for almost an hour. The gold shop made a new kind of bracelet, which looks very good. I sent it to you. Wear it for you to play with. Just don’t throw it away, return it to me when you get tired of wearing it, and I’ll show you a new look.”

"How many times do I have to tell you? Wasn't it enough to be found out by the boss last time? Do I lack these things? Take it back, take it back, I don't want it."

Xiao Zhao pleaded aggrieved: "Mu Yun..."

There is a first-quarter moon in the blue sky, and the hustle and bustle of singing and dancing in the first half of the night has subsided, as if the dross has settled and the purity has risen.

11.
Not long after the peaceful days, a big storm came.It was Xi Zhu who started the turmoil.

Xi Zhu was publicly humiliated by Qingtian's guest, Mr. Feng, at the banquet that day, and she was always angry.As soon as I went upstairs that day, I saw two little maids with long hair huddling together at the door of her room, muttering something, one of them was Meizi from her own room, and the other was Gui Zhen from Qingtian's room. ran away.Xizhu scolded "Sneaky", stepped forward and pinched Meizi's mouth twice, "You don't know that I hate that bitch Qingtian, don't you? Do you want someone to talk to her? Next time Let me see, twist your mouth."

Meizi cried and covered her mouth and argued eagerly: "Miss, I was wrong, but I didn't look for her. It was Guizhen who came to talk to me. She said that Miss Qingtian was leaving soon, and she wanted to come to serve you, Miss. Discuss with me first."

"Leave soon?" A trace of suspicion crossed Xizhu's face, she leaned over slightly, and pulled Meizi into the room, "What did Guizhen tell you? You told me exactly what you said. "

Meizi's bloody lips were swollen little by little, and she moved up and down clumsily," Guizhen said. The first two days, Mrs. Qiao Xianggong of Qingtian girl gave her a set of phoenix clothes that she had cut by herself, saying that she would replace them immediately. She redeemed her body and brought her home to be his first wife, and now everyone calls Miss Qingtian 'Madam Zhuangyuan'."

Xizhu's eyes widened sharply, Meizi hugged her head in fright, for a long time, but she never waited for a slap to land on her face or body, and then looked up timidly.She saw Miss Xizhu showing a bright and sly smile, stretched out her hand, put her palm to her mouth and rubbed it, "Go and ask Guizhen again, where did the 'Mrs. Quietly, don't let others know, I will love you when I come back."

At the place where the wind and moon are at the green window, before you know it, the sun is setting in the west, and the east is bright again.

After noon on the second day, just as Xi Zhu got up, she was doing her makeup by the window when she heard the door of the dressing room "boom" and someone kicked it open.

She guessed who it was without even looking, with a triumphant smile on her face, "Yo, my sister is becoming more and more informal, and she can't even knock on the door."

Outside the door, Qingtian was furious, and was about to say something, but Dai Yan, Xizhu's guest, came out of the room, and rushed forward with a smile on his face, "Sister Qingtian is here, come in and sit down."

Qingtian didn't know that Dai Yan was staying here, so he could only swallow back the verbal abuse, and gave a slightly stiff smile, "Master Dai, good morning."

Dai Yan saw that Qingtian's powder was not protected, the dark clouds were scattered, and there was a little bit of anger on his face, looking forward to the extraordinary, he couldn't help sticking his nose to her neck and sniffing lightly, "What kind of incense is my sister smoking? It smells so good, I've never smelled it before."

Qingtian hides for a while, "Who smokes what kind of incense for those who get up early? Mr. Dai is just joking."
