Xue's daughter-in-law

Chapter 44

Ye Ya has been sitting blankly, the night is so quiet, she can hear the crackling sound of burning firewood.

The eldest brother is decocting medicine for her, should she go out?
A faint scent of medicine wafted in, Ye Ya thought for a while, lightly put on her pants, put on her shoes, and sat down on the edge of the kang.If the eldest brother calls her after a while, she will open the door, if not, she will wait for him to sleep and go out to fetch medicine by herself.She wanted to take medicine, firstly because her stomach hurt badly, secondly because the medicine could cure her illness, thirdly because...she couldn't bear to waste his good intentions.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of soup being scooped into bowls was heard from the West Pot Platform separated by the wall.

Ye Ya could completely imagine Xue Song's actions. He filled the medicine, picked up the bowl, put it down again, and then walked towards this side.When he stood behind the door for a while, her heart beat faster. If, if the eldest brother called her, should she answer immediately, or wait a while and then pretend to have just woken up?
She waited nervously, because of the tension, the pain in her body seemed to be a little less.

Xue Song behind the door raised his hand, but barely stopped before touching the door.He withdrew his hand and stood silently, listening intently to the movement inside.It was very quiet inside, except for the slight snoring of the second brother. He tried hard to find the sound of painful inhalation or the unbearable sound of turning over that could prove that she was awake, but there was no sound, probably already asleep?

She fell asleep, and he finally felt relieved. Since he was able to fall asleep, it meant that the pain was not so great, and he didn't have to explain to her why he decocted medicine for her late at night. She misunderstood.

But why are you still a little disappointed?Is it because he didn't let her know that he did this for her?He obviously didn't want her to know from the beginning, why was he not so open-minded when he got his wish?Didn't he, in fact, secretly hope that she would know, secretly hoped that she would understand how good he was to her, and even, even because of this, he would have a different feeling for him?

Then, even if she is tempted, so what?She was his younger sibling, and always would be.

So, it's better not to let her know, if she is really tempted, his affection will only be a kind of torture to her.It's impossible for her to do something wrong to her second brother, and he won't do it either.In the final analysis, he shouldn't have such beastly thoughts.

Xue Song smiled wryly, turned around, sat the medicine bowl in the pot, cleaned it up briefly, and went back to the east room.

After the eldest brother left, Ye Ya's thumping heart slowed down, and she didn't even know what she was nervous about.

After about a quarter of an hour, after making sure that there was no sound outside and that Xue Song had fallen asleep, Ye Ya quietly pushed the door latch, went out clutching her stomach.

The moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round, even without candles, the moonlight is bright enough for people to see clearly.It's a pity that there is no screen window in the kitchen, blocking the bright light, Ye Ya didn't want to bother to light candles, so she groped her way to the south door, and opened the door very lightly.The moonlight poured in like water in an instant.

But after just a few short steps, Ye Ya broke out in a cold sweat.She rested against the door panel for a while, then supported the pot table with one hand, and lifted the pot lid with the other.When she put the lid of the pot on the side, although she had tried her best to be careful, there was still a muffled sound like an iron grinding stone.She was startled, and instinctively turned her head to look at the east room. Seeing that no one was surprised there, she patted her chest lightly, and bent over to take the big bowl from the pot.

The residual heat in the pot scalded the edge of the bowl, Ye Ya endured the heat and put the big bowl on the pot table, reaching out to touch her earlobe.

"The medicine is very hot, let it dry for a while before drinking." Suddenly, the man's voice, which was deliberately suppressed, came from behind him.

At that moment, Ye Ya felt all the blood in his body rushing to the top of his head, his head was dizzy, he didn't know what to do or say, so he could only continue pinching his ears stupidly, staring at the medicine bowl in a daze.It's over, isn't the eldest brother already asleep?Why did he come out suddenly and see her secretly taking medicine?
"Siblings?" Seeing her motionless, Xue Song couldn't help taking a step closer, wanting to see what was wrong with her.

"Brother, brother, are you still asleep?" Ye Ya lowered her head nervously, looking at her feet, and then, because he hadn't spoken, her eyes slowly moved to the two figures on the ground.

The two shadows elongated by the moonlight, the one with drooping head is her, the one with slightly lowered head is him, is he looking at her when he lowers his head?Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and Ye Ya wanted to run away nervously.Ever since she knew that Xue Song was running around for her overnight, she had been avoiding thinking about why he was so nice to her, and what she would do when she saw him again. he.

Ye Ya didn't know, because she didn't dare to look up, but he had the courage to look at her silently.

Xue Song looked at the little woman in front of him who was less than his shoulders, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, inexplicably wanting to laugh.As soon as she entered the room, she slipped out quietly. Does it mean that she was actually awake the whole time, and even heard the conversation between him and the third brother?
Originally, he didn't want to come out to see her, but he couldn't help but secretly lifted the corner of the curtain to look at her.When she was leaning against the door panel weakly, the moonlight shone on her tightly frowning brows. The pain on her face made him feel bad. He really wanted to go out to support her and take medicine for her, but reason made him hold back .Later, the lid of the pot made a sound, and she looked at this side like a frightened little rabbit, which made him withdraw his hand in a hurry, for fear that she would see him. After panicking, he suddenly became very curious, why was she afraid? To be known by oneself?Why avoid him?How would she react if he went out at this time?

Reason and impulse fought back and forth in his mind, and when he saw her make the familiar movement of being burned, his legs stepped out on their own initiative.

Now, as he expected, she was too nervous to look at him.She didn't comb her hair, a strand of silky long hair hung down with her movements, and fell on her chest. The cool night wind blew in from the door, and the strand of hair swayed gently, brushed up for a while, and fell down again for a while. , attracting his attention.His eyes stayed there for a long time, and he realized the bulging plumpness belatedly, and the short-lived touch that night unexpectedly became clear, which made his heart beat chaotically and his mouth dry.

Xue Song quickly looked away, remembered her question just now, and replied softly: "I heard some movement outside, so I came out to take a look. Brother and sister, you go back to the room first, and I will bring the medicine in for you."

"No, no, I can just drink outside, so as not to disturb Ah Shu's sleep... Big brother, you go to sleep first, I will move lightly, and I won't disturb you again." Ye Ya shook her head and secretly hoped that he would hurry up Leaving quickly, with him in front of her, she could barely control her breathing.

Xue Song couldn't help being agitated when he heard her speak so rudely and politely, and seeing that she still didn't dare to look up at himself, he couldn't help asking her: "Sister and brother, are you afraid of me?" Afraid of him, so he avoided him, Don't dare to look at him, dare not talk to him as easily as you did with your third brother?

"Ah?" Ye Ya looked up in surprise, surprised by his question, and then fell into a pair of bright and deep eyes unprepared.

He was standing right behind her, with less than a foot between them.From such a close distance, she can clearly see his handsome eyebrows and eyes. Under such a soft and bright moonlight, his eyes also have a gentle light floating in his eyes, and he who is gazing at her so tenderly makes her want to Avoiding, not resentment, but fear, afraid of being attracted by him...

She looked towards the door in a panic, "Brother, I, I..."

Suddenly there was a severe cramping pain below her body, Ye Ya closed her eyes in pain, covered her stomach and wanted to squat down.

But Xue Song thought she was going to faint from the pain again, so he quickly grabbed her shoulders and said eagerly: "Sister and sister, I will help you in!"

Ye Ya bit her lip and shook her head, broke away from him, walked to the threshold and sat down, lowered her head and stretched out her hand to him: "Brother, pass me the medicine, I'll finish drinking here, and go in after drinking."

Xue Song hurriedly brought the bowl to her, squatted down in front of her, supported her shoulder leaning against the door with one hand, and handed the bowl to her with the other: "It may still be a little hot, drink it slowly." Trembling faintly, afraid that she would refuse his care.

Ye Ya was in so much pain that she didn't care about the current situation, she covered her belly with one hand and the bowl with the other, and leaned over to take a tentative sip.It was still a little hot, but the hot flow poured into her stomach all the way, and it was very hot and comfortable. She didn't hesitate anymore, and started to drink it.

Xue Song stared at her intently.She frowned, and closed her eyes uncomfortably, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly.The moonlight is soft, her face is not as pale as in the daytime, but like jade in the night, lustrous and elegant.He didn't know if the soup was difficult to drink, but she drank it very seriously, with her slender fingers resting on the rim of the bowl, and her light-colored lips stuck to the bowl. As the soup gradually fell, he slowly lifted the bowl, and then She also raised her neck following his movements, as if what she drank was not medicine, but agar jade dew, and she would not be willing to drink a drop, so sensible that he couldn't look away for a long time, not looking at her jade neck that might be exposed Skin, just looking at her small face, wants to pity her more and more.

If Ye Ya opened her eyes now, she would definitely see the tenderness in the man's eyes, but unfortunately she was in a hurry to drink the medicine, and was in a hurry to finish drinking to avoid the man who made her nervous, so how could she open her eyes to look at him?Especially the big hand that was holding her firmly, it was warm and strong. At first, she didn't pay attention to it because of the pain, but later on, she didn't dare to pay attention to it. Just pretend that she didn't notice it. She didn't notice him. touch, did not notice his disturbing care.

The bottom of the bowl gradually emptied, Xue Song suddenly felt a little regretful.He knew that she accepted his approach because of her stomach ache, but he was still very satisfied, being able to look at her so closely and take care of her, and she was obedient and obedient, it was like a dream, but regret Unfortunately, after tonight, he would never have another chance.

Since there was no chance, he decided to indulge once.

After Ye Ya finished drinking, regardless of her objection, he insisted on supporting her and took her to the door, and before she entered the room, he said: "Sister and sister, wait a moment." Let go of her, and strode towards the back of the kitchen .

Ye Ya watched suspiciously as he fiddled with the rice vat a few times.

Xue Song came back quickly, and stretched out his hand to her: "Sisters and sisters, eat two jujubes to get rid of the bitterness. Don't worry, you will be able to raise them well."

He wanted to feed her jujubes with his own hands every day, and wanted to tell her not to worry every day, but he knew that he didn't have the courage and qualifications. The second brother liked her so much, so he would definitely do these things with his own hands.So, let's take advantage of this night's moonlight that makes people want to indulge. Anyway, she already knows that no matter whether she hides from him or fears him, he has no regrets.

Looking at the two thumb-sized dried dates in the center of his palm, Ye Ya's heart felt uncontrollable warmth, mixed with a touch of sweetness and fear.After hesitating for a while, she raised her hand to take the jujube, and finally couldn't help but look at him, and said falteringly: "Brother, thank you, thank you for taking care of me, I..." In fact, she really wanted to ask him why he treated her like this Okay, but she knew that in that case, it was too ambiguous and thought-provoking, and she shouldn't ask it.

Her eyes were flustered and frightened, Xue Song thought she was frightened by his own involuntary emotion, all courage and impulse dissipated in an instant, he held back the throbbing in his heart and explained: "Sister and sister, the second younger brother is stupid and doesn't know how to take care of him." You, I, as the eldest brother, naturally have to make up for him, don't think too much... well, it's getting late, go in and sleep, remember to cover the quilt, don't catch cold." After finishing speaking, he never dared to look at her again, Turn around and close the door.One more look, he was afraid that his eyes might reveal what was on his mind.

The door was closed, and the kitchen was dark again. Xue Song knew she was still standing there, but he didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurried back to the house.

Ye Ya didn't know how she got back to the kang, Xue Song's cold words kept ringing in her ears, he told her not to think too much...

She bit her lip annoyedly, turned around and hugged Xue Shu who was sleeping soundly, feeling a little aggrieved, guilty, and more self-deprecating.

She is his younger brother and sister, and her body is related to Xue Shu's heir. The elder brother loves his younger brother, so of course he wants to take care of her for him. She really shouldn't think about it.If a man is nice to a woman, is it possible that he likes it?For someone as outstanding as Eldest Brother, even Xia Hua couldn't make him fall in love, let alone her...

No, no, no, I'm thinking wildly again!

A bright moon shines on Wanjia, and when Ye Ya is tossing and turning full of thoughts, the clouds and rains in another place are flourishing.

Song Hai grabbed her restless hand and said with a sneer, "You say she is her? If you can really prove that she used to be a Yao sister, I will do what you want and help you train her." I want to find someone to replace her To vent your anger, you have to look at who the target is. Even if Song Hai is not a prostitute, he is also a veteran in the flowers. Just looking at the behavior of Xue Shu's daughter-in-law that day, he doesn't look like a flamboyant person. He is reckless. If he finds it, he might be killed. Even if he succeeds, the three Xue family brothers will not spare him. When the matter reaches Xia Hua's ears, he will lose his usual good impression.

Thinking of Xia Hua, and thinking of the money gift coming from the Qian family tomorrow, Song Hai suddenly lost the intention of staying. I don't care, if something about the two of us gets out, hum..."

Liu Yuniang curled her lips behind his back, but still grabbed his belt, and asked him softly, "Then how many days are you staying in the village this time? Will you come tomorrow night?"

Song Hai pulled back his belt, and said a little irritably, "I'll leave the day after tomorrow." He also wanted to stay longer, until Xia Hua got married, and even wanted to follow her to see how she was doing, but he was a big man, and there was really no reason to stay. At the house of my aunt who is about to marry her daughter.

Liu Yuniang heard his reluctance, moved her heart, and helped him out: "Since you don't want to leave, then find an excuse to stay. I'm sick or twisted my feet. Maybe your precious Hua'er will still love you I will send you two tears!" For Xia Hua, she was very jealous, no matter how much Song Hai tossed about him, he always had that aunt in his heart, and he would not even say a bad word to her, so four years ago Xia Hua Hua Niang rejected Song Hainiang's secret marriage proposal, and she was secretly happy for several days.

Hearing Liu Yuniang making fun of him and Xia Hua, Song Hai gave her a gloomy look, then slammed the door and left.

The bright moon was hanging high outside, after Song Hai sneaked into his aunt's house, he couldn't help but walked to Xia Hua's wing.

It lived in the aunt he swore to marry back home since he was a child.When she was young, she used to cling to him, calling him uncle sweetly, begging him to take her to play in the orchard coquettishly, begging him to teach her to fly a kite, even when he joked that she would marry him when she grew up, ten years old She also blinked her beautiful big eyes and said yes with a smile.

However, she grew up slowly, and gradually, when the two were together again, the person she often talked about became Xue Song. The next day I saw Xue Song again, what kind of clothes Xue Song was wearing and what kind of prey he was carrying.Until one day, when he called her Xia Hua, she frowned and said to him: "Brother, your voices are so similar, you should call my aunt like you did when you were a child, otherwise I thought it was him calling I am happy for nothing."

Because of Xue Song, he doesn't even have the right to call her Xia Hua!
So he was jealous of Xue Song, hated Xue Song, and when he knew that his aunt promised her to others as a concubine, he was so happy because Xue Song couldn't marry her that even surpassed his sympathy and heartache for her!
But, she is going to get married soon, and she will be a concubine to an old man!
He was very distressed and uncomfortable, but as long as she liked him a little bit, he was willing to take her out of this house...
