box of hearts

Chapter 16 Zhan Chunkui (15)
"Oh, sister, look at it!" Xizhu leaned against the back of the big red money python, a section of lotus root white arm slipped out of the silk sleeve, and raised her hand to gently rub her forehead.Her head was bald, only a purple gold hoop was worn on her forehead, and two small squares of headache ointment were pasted on her temples. This is an unreasonable honor, how about being able to trip me on a flat ground? If I were my sister, I would definitely be more careful when I go in and out in the future, so that there will be no accidents or unexpected disasters."

"Yes, all right, why don't you stumble on the flat ground?" Qingtian held a palace fan with one hand to support the door leaf, and went down to take off his shoes with the other hand, shaking the satin trousers on his left leg. Something was squeezed out of the soft-soled embroidered shoes, "I mean, there is such an unlucky thing stuck in the shoes, how can you walk steadily?" The things in the room were dangling back and forth, "Yo, why, could this be your sister's?"

"A blow to the head" is far from just rhetoric, at this moment, Xizhu felt that a mace really came out of the air and hit her celestial spirit cap heavily.No wonder!Last night, Dai Yan first poured yellow soup on her, and when she returned to her room, she said that "brothhouses are also written with white heads", and insisted on cutting her hair together, as a sign of marriage.She has always treated him with a little sincerity, and seeing that his love is so deep, she is half drunk and half sincere to cut the incense cloud with him, but who would have thought that he would actually go out to coax other stinky girls—— Coax her sworn enemy!Xizhu remembered the scene when she was holding the silver scissors: Carefully tore off a lock of hair, picked out the thinnest and reddest gold hook rope and tied it separately, and gave a strand of her love to that man.And now her love is actually pulled out from the soles of this woman's feet, pinched between her fingers, and flung forward lightly, like a handful of mean and rootless weeds——

"Hey, I still think it's some little wild bastard!"

Qingtian clapped his hands, looking straight at Xizhu's dismal face.That disgusting seduction, dirty cat-dog copulation is just a long foreplay, and this is the moment of pleasure, it's great!She stretched out her toes and kicked a bunch of thin hair that was thrown to the ground, making an exaggerated worry, "It's so strange, how did my sister's hair get into my shoes? But sister, People say that if the hair, nails, etc. are trampled on the soles of the feet, it will be very bad luck. If I were a younger sister, I must be more careful when I go out in the future, and don’t let any random disasters come and go.” She tugged on her shoes , The wind swayed the willows out of the house shaking their fans.

Xizhu couldn't say a word, and everything rushed up in an instant, Miss Qianjin was reduced to prostitution, like a flower in the mud, like a bloody empty branch crying.Her throat was blocked with soil, and her tears flowed like a river. It took a long, long time before she gathered enough strength to stand up.She rushed out of the bed with bare feet and disheveled hair, and yelled, "Duan Qingtian, I'll kill you!!"

Then her knees gave way and she fell forward.

13.
Qingtian was so angry that Xizhu fainted, but he himself was leisurely.This night was the feast in the Jiao Mansion previously agreed upon with Ailang Qiao Yunze, so I specially bathed in incense and dressed anew.Unexpectedly, when the sun went down, the ticket to ask her out had not yet arrived, so an unexpected guest came first:
Regent Qi She.

He was still the same as a month ago, dressed in trance, only brought two servants with him, and called himself "The Third Lord", and rewarded him with a tael of gold and a pair of jade biscuits.When Second Sister Duan saw her, she felt as if she had seen a family member who was thinking hard, she wished she could go into battle naked, she was so flattered that she didn't know what to do, she hurriedly called Qingtian to come out to offer melon seeds and new tea, and even filled the kiln with all kinds of white powder Guilin horseshoe, Guangdong lychee, green plum and orange cake, sweet-scented osmanthus and other precious fruits are all placed on the table.Although Qingtian didn't know what kind of wind brought this man here again, he could only smile to accompany him.He listened to her sing a few songs in a row, and played chess with her, but he didn't see any intention of leaving.

The room was lit with incense, and several pots of frangipani and jasmine were fragrant, making Qingtian hot and dry.

She held the pet cat by her leg with one hand and caressed its pure white fur, absently dropped a sunspot, all she could think about was Qiao Yunze, their tonight date, and——Qingtian dreamed sweetly— ——Their covenant in this life, the ending of her and him being inseparable and never separated.

"Miss Qingtian is out!"

The loud and clear shouts from the outfield spread upstairs, Qingtian came back to his senses, and immediately his heart jumped for joy, but he asked knowingly: "Where?"

"Dengshikou Shamao Hutong Jiao Mansion." The door curtain was lifted, and the maid Mu Yun walked in, and bowed deeply to Qi She cautiously.

Qi She wore a rhinoceros belt around his waist, and was wearing a royal blue robe with arrow sleeves, embedded with dark patterns of the swastika that could only be seen under the light.For a moment, his people seemed to have no doubts, and the hand holding the chess piece was still in the air, looking at Qingtian and asking: "Jiao Zun, a rich businessman? Is he your guest?"

"Respond to the third master," Mu Yun replied softly, "The one calling the game is——Qiao Yun is Master Qiao."

For some reason, when she heard that Jiao and Qiao were connected together, the suspicion suddenly turned into a heavy haze and covered Qi She's face.He turned to look at Wenping, put down the white piece in his hand, he neither left nor let Qingtian go.

According to the usual practice, if a courtesan needs to change the game when entertaining guests, no matter what the identity of the guest is, they cannot force them to stay.But Qingtian took a look at the man's face, and immediately dismissed Mu Yun and said: "Go and tell me that I will leave later."After nearly a hundred moves, the chess tendons in his belly were eaten, and Qingtian threw in the towel, "Master, it's getting late, are you hungry? Why don't you go to the restaurant next door and order two dishes? Actually, we cook them in our own small kitchen." It's better than outside, it's delicate and clean, try it, Third Master?"

Qi She turned a deaf ear to it, just lowered his head and picked up the chess pieces one by one, "Come again."

Qingtian didn't dare to disobey, so he could only suppress his temper and fight again.Half an hour later, the cat next to him snored slightly. Qing Tian dug his hand into the chess box and kept aiming at the clock clock, but it was not easy to remind Qi She, so he called Mu Yun in and tapped: "You send someone to visit Jiao's mansion, and say that I will arrive after a while."

Mu Yun showed embarrassment, and gently rubbed the small sleeve embroidered with green calyx, "Yo, why didn't Mrs. Wang tell the girl when she brought the tea? You don't have to go. Miss Xizhu has already taken the ticket for the game [ 25] I’ve gone, I’ve eaten up all the wine I’ve been wanting for a while.”

Qingtian was stunned when she heard that, Xizhu forced herself to be out of the game on her behalf, she would not have any good intentions, she was afraid that she would be embarrassing for Qiao Yun if she had to be seated, and she was even more afraid—she gasped, recalling her charming The scene of Dai Yan seems to have seen Xizhu deal with Qiao Yunze like a tiger.It's not that she can't trust her lover, but he's only ever had her as a woman, and he's used to her softness, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't suddenly find that Xizhu's glamor is a fresher and more fierce beauty.No, Xizhu must be stopped—before she turns herself into the most delicious dish in the banquet.

Qingtian was very anxious, but she just stood up coquettishly. It happened that she was also wearing blue, and the sapphire blue densely embroidered gauze was covered with a pattern of precious immortals. It's so easy to catch you, but I can't let you go easily. But——, for other guests, I must make up some extravagant reasons. I dare not drop my gun in front of the third master. To be honest, a few days ago Mr. Qiao made this appointment with me, let me—" She paused with a smile, showing a hint of shyness, "Must come."

"Be sure to come." Qi She pondered this sentence, looking straight at Qingtian with complex eyes, which seemed to have a sense of compassion.Afterwards, he wandered around, with a faint coolness in his voice: "He said 'must come', and I said 'sit down and play chess'."

Qingtian pondered for a while, and said without any trace: "The third master is in charge of the state affairs, and the imperial edicts are issued through the mouth of the third master. What other people say is called 'words', and what the third master says is called 'will' , Commanding the world, anyone should listen to the third master. However, Qingtian had already promised Mr. Qiao at the night banquet in Jiao Mansion today. The master said: "The people can't stand without faith." [26] Qingtian's keeping the promise is not against the third master. I mean, but it is for the sake of the third master. If a woman as humble as me understands the principle of promises and gold, then who in the whole country would not stick to the way of integrity?' A believer is the great treasure of a king. '[27]"

Qi She listened to Qing Tian's eloquent argument, and laughed it off: "If you are a man and an official in the court, you will definitely write good articles that remonstrate with one hand."

"Admonishment is not Qingtian's forte. What I'm good at is offending people by telling jokes at banquets." Seeing that the other party's smile became more obvious, she smiled and bowed, "The third master has a lot of things to do every day, I didn't dare to stay Yes. But if you're not in a hurry, I'll ask someone to come in and sing a few more trendy ditties for the third master. You sit down, and I'll come back after a face-to-face meeting, and pour wine for you to make amends."

Qi She still half smiled, "I didn't allow you to go."

Qingtian was stunned, then forced a smile again, "Does Qingtian know the reason?"

"You will know, but not now."
