box of hearts

Chapter 88
Die Xian wiped away her tears, still choking, "But I just can't get over my face and my heart!"

"Where did you get your face and heart? Only the three of you know about this matter. Even if the news that you are going to marry is not confirmed, whoever asked later, you only said that you meant it, but you didn't find the right one." People, isn't it over? You didn't mean it, but you just wanted to take a bath with the plague, even if it didn't work, it wouldn't be a big deal." Qingtian said while taking out a small enamel bowl the size of a longan from his waist purse, Uncovered the flower-painting cover and put it in the hands of Die Xian, "If you have any complaints, just think about me—I and Zhuangyuanlang, how did my face get off, and how did my heart go through."

Die Xian's eyes froze, and she took the small bowl with a blushing face. The bowl contained half-used fragrant ointment. She dug a little bit with her fingertips and applied it on her crying red and moulting nose, "You really marry the one named Qiao!" Miss Zhang Shilang?"

Qingtian turned his face away, his gaze was like a migratory bird, "Do you think you are a person like us? You talk about marriage today, pay for it tomorrow, and then carry it in the door? She is a lady in the boudoir, and she still needs a one-year employment period. I'm afraid I won't be able to get married until next month. I don't know, I haven't heard from him for a long time." She suddenly pressed her hand on the exposed throat, raised her head suddenly, and smiled abruptly, "Yes Well, tomorrow is the anniversary of Xizhu, I want to go out of the city to worship, do you want to go with me?"

Diexian was stunned for a moment, "Oh, isn't it? It's been a year, and it flies by so quickly." Then she shook her head a few times, "I won't go, I advise my sister that you don't have to go, and There is no great affection. Back then you bought her a coffin and set it up as a sister. I don’t want to see her alive. Why go to see her after she dies? I was in a bad mood, go It's even more uncomfortable."

When the faces of both of them were gloomy, they suddenly laughed—"Sister, is sister in there?"

Diexian stood up all of a sudden, "It's the little hoof of Xia. She is very proud of her spring breeze. I don't want to talk to her for a while, so let's go first." Put the oil bowl back to Qingtian with one hand, and turned around to go.

Duixia had already entered the door at this time, and happened to bump into him under the flower cover, "Oh, why are you here?"

"You can come, but I can't?" Die Xian rolled her red eyes and passed by.

Duixia's footsteps continued to turn inward, but her head turned outward, "Hey, who stepped on the tip of her tail again?"

Qing Tian put away the small bowl and smiled, "I just explained to her that it's Xizhu's memorial day, and she felt a little uncomfortable. I was going to lay a memorial ceremony, do you want one?"

Duixia sat down on the other side of the kang bed, and waved her hands together, "I'm not going, I'm in a lucky star right now, I don't want to feel a little unlucky."

Qingtian rolled his eyes, "Hey, so your redemption was successful? Guizhen, Guizhen! How dare you fall asleep again? Why do you sleep so much in a day? Hurry up and change the girl for tea."

The little girl Gui Zhen was half awake, stumbled and ran over from the corner to remove Die Xian's leftover tea from the kang table, and brought a new cup of tea.Xiangxia had already shrugged her shoulders and laughed, and talked freely: "It's funny to say, my son mentioned the matter of redemption a while ago, and Sun Xiaocai saw that I was serious, but he didn't show any sympathy, so he refused, what did you say?" People have no sincerity. Well, don’t you want to be sincere, and I will give you the sincerity.”

She leaned her shoulders towards Qingtian and lowered her voice: "Lan Rui and I made iced drinks with our own hands during the card game that afternoon. It's nothing for others, but we added fried rice to Sun Xiaocai's bowl. Good croton juice. How powerful is that croton? Within two quarters of an hour, Sun Xiaocai had diarrhea, and I invited the quack doctors we used to, and told them in advance that no one would point it out, and they would all talk about the disease No reason. At night, I pretended to be sad and tearful, not thinking about food and drink, and waited beside me with my clothes on. Yesterday morning, I said I was going to Yaowang Temple to ask for immortal prescriptions, but in fact I went to the Suzhou Guild Hall on Qipan Street to ask for it. I got a room to make up for a good night’s sleep, woke up, ate, ate, and went shopping, and when I came back from the shopping, I took a fake prescription to bluff him. The prescription is the same as if I didn’t take it, but I was in the medicine. Added another dose of glutinous rice drink in it. The glutinous rice drink is specially designed to detoxify croton poison. Of course, it is enough to drink it. I had scratched two pieces of skin on my knees before, and told Sun Xiaocai that I was kneeling on the knees of the medicine king. He told countless nasty words. He was sick and weak. Seeing that I served him diligently and was willing to sacrifice his life for him, he was so moved that he couldn't be more moved. He hugged me last night and said, finally understood why he had such a strange illness. It turned out to be a manifestation of God, lest he miss me, this once-in-a-thousand-year, rare, sincere person who can’t be found in thousands of miles!"[7]
Halfway through talking to Xia, he couldn't help laughing, and Qingtian also laughed so hard that he rubbed his belly, "It's amazing, you used to use aphrodisiacs and sweating drugs without telling your mother, and now even this medicine for tigers and wolves If you dare to act indiscriminately, I see that there will be a case against a poisoned husband tomorrow."

Xiangxia has always been greedy, and she was thirsty when talking, so she drank two sips of candied golden orange tea, then grabbed jujube rings and hazelnuts from the ten-color plate on the desk and chewed, "Do you think this man is cheap? Now, he I was in a hurry to marry me and go home, and said that I would discuss my worth with my mother as soon as I recovered. I made an agreement with my mother that at least he would ask for 3 taels, and my mother would take [-] and the remaining [-]. I'll take it to my family. Amitabha, with this money, it's enough for my evil father to lose for a while."

"How can it be just [-]? With such a good son-in-law, are you afraid that you can't afford to play two cards for your father-in-law?"

"Hmph, I used to seriously want to marry this Sun Xiaocai, but since he is ruthless, I don't have to be righteous. After this time, I completely changed my mind. Sun Xiaocai said that all the ladies and gentlemen he liked in the past would take their lives for ransom." They lied to him and extorted countless money from him. Why should I, Duan Xiangxia, be so honest? Anyway, he is now utterly devoted to me. I plan to get the [-] yuan first, and then say that my family has gambling debts and I have money. If you are short, you can knock out one stroke after another, as much as you can. As for whether to marry or not, it depends on the mood of the old lady."

While chatting lively, I saw Lan Rui, the maid in Duixia's room, coming with a suitcase in her hand, facing the two of them together, "Hi, Miss Qingtian. Girl, you can go."

Inspector Dui Xia stretched his neck to look at the suitcase, "Is everything ready?"

"Ready."

Qingtian also showed a picture in the box, "What are you going to do?"

He gave Xia a slap, with a devout expression on his face, "Go to the Yaowang Temple to 'fulfill your wish'." While Qingtian couldn't stop laughing, he had already stood up, "You have to do your best in acting, don't you? Then sister, I'll go first. "Walk away for a few steps and turned back, looking back with a smile, "Oh, that little girl Zhaohua came back from Fangjiayuan today, sister, you will know when you look back, now she has really become a little foxy girl, born to eat this bowl The ingredients for the meal. All right, sister, you sit down, don’t get up and deliver it.”

Qingtian smiled and leaned back into the kang, "Then forgive me for being lazy."

As soon as Dui Xia left, the room returned to sunshine and laziness.Qingtian picked up the scriptures that had been put down before and read them silently, only after turning through three or four pages, there was a shining sound and she fell into her quietness.

"Sister Qingtian!"

Qingtian put down the book, raised his eyes and smiled, "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there."

It was Zhaohua at the other end, who rushed to Qingtian's side and sat down in three steps at a time, and put his arms around her waist, "Sister, I miss you so much."

Qingtian also smiled and took Zhaohua back with one hand, "You just came back?"

"Well, just after entering the door, I sent the servants back to the room to pack the luggage. I also brought a few small things for my sister. It's not a respect. After picking them out, I will send them to my sister myself."

"You are very polite, but it's a pity that my sister went to the outside of the customs and returned empty-handed. There is nothing good to give you. Don't be surprised."

"Look at what my sister said, I'm so happy when you come back, I look forward to seeing you sooner every day. Sister, let me take a good look."

Qingtian smiled and let Zhaohua look at her carefully, and also looked at her carefully. He saw that she was wearing a lotus root pink skirt with a skirt, and a fine-grained yellow skirt. A little charm has been added from where, as if there is wind in the sleeves and skirts, flowing and light.Qingtian smiled with mixed feelings, and brushed Zhaohua's forehead hair with his fingers, "It's getting more and more detached."

Zhaohua lowered her face when she was praised, "But I like my sister in my heart, with big breasts and slim waist, graceful ups and downs."

"But there are many men who like you. The so-called 'delicate as boneless, weak as clothes'-eh, you're back? It's pretty fast."

Hearing the words, Zhaohua twisted her head in Qingtian's arms, and called out with a smile: "Sister Muyun."

Seeing that the big servant girl Mu Yun came in lightly with a bamboo basket in her arms like a leisurely cloud, she smiled happily when she saw Zhaohua, "Young lady Zhaohua, I haven't seen you for a long time, and she has become even more beautiful." With that, he handed the basket to Qing Tian, ​​"Look, girl, is it complete?"

Qingtian raised his fingertips, "Don't look at it, there are only those left and right, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Just for a moment, Zhao Hua could see clearly that the basket was full of joss sticks and paper horses, and couldn't help being a little startled, "It's already past Qingming, why are you buying these things at this time?"

Qingtian smiled, with a feeling of embarrassment, "It's a sister from the past in the courtyard. Tomorrow is her memorial day. I plan to pay her respects."

Zhao Hua said, "Then I will go too."

"You don't know her, what are you going to do?"

"I'm with my sister. I have a lot to say to my sister."

"Forget it, you are so busy with business now, where did you get the time to fiddle around?"
