Except for Xiao Jihuai, probably no one in the field had seen Qiudi's Hu Teng dance. For a moment, they all forgot to applaud. It was Xiao Jihuai who took the lead in applauding, saying: "Qiudi's dance skills are unparalleled in the world.
It really lives up to its reputation!" Then there was thunderous applause.
He Qizhou didn't know the rules, so he was satisfied to enjoy this song and dance. Seeing that it was almost time for the city to be banned, he wanted to get up and leave. Xiao Jihuai grabbed him and said, "Do you know why you just finished this Feihua Order game?"
"I don't know." He Qizhou actually understood that he was just making a fool of himself, so it didn't matter.
"Qiudi loves talents. Whenever she sees someone with real talent and knowledge, she will chat for a while after the banquet. The person who is selected can see the beauty's face with her own eyes. Look, can anyone leave now?" Xiao Jihuai said
.
He Qizhou said: "That can't be me! I'm just a bad guy who practices martial arts, so I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes. Senior Brother Xiao, thank you for your hospitality. The dance and music here are indeed unforgettable, but it's almost time to close.
It's time to go to the city, so I'd better go back early. I wish you many meritorious deeds on the battlefield, and I will definitely accompany you someday!" After saying that, he stood up.
Xiao Jihuai was about to say something when the Hu girl who just brought them in walked out from behind the bead curtain and said: "Master He, stay here, my lady would like to ask you to talk!"
"Ah?" "What?" Those literati all showed incredulous expressions. Will Shangguan Qiudi see that pustule? Although they are all indignant, they must not lose their literati magnanimity. Some people actually congratulated He Qizhou.
.
Xiao Jihuai said to He Qizhou, who was equally incredulous: "Congratulations, junior brother, for being able to talk to this beautiful lady, let's take our leave first." After saying this, he waved his hand and said that he would take this group of the same year to have a drink somewhere else.
He Qizhou thought to himself that he couldn't be merciless when someone gave him face, right? Besides, he was still quite curious about what the scene was like behind the veil. The worst he could do was leave early. After thinking about it, he got up and followed the plump bearded girl into the inner room.
The inner room is not one, there are four rooms on each side of the corridor behind the bead curtain. Hu Nu called herself Hongliu, took He Qizhou into the second room on the left, asked He Qizhou to wait for a moment, and said that the lady would come after changing her clothes.
After that, he got up and left, not forgetting to close the door.
He Qizhou saw that the room was divided into two parts. There was a tea table and embroidery pier at the entrance, and a flower bed with complicated carvings in the inner room. It looked similar to the brothel in Jiangling Mansion, but the furnishings were many times better.
He Qizhou waited and saw no one coming. Seeing that there was not much time left to leave the city, he couldn't help but feel anxious, so he stood up and wanted to go out the door. At this moment, someone pushed the door open and entered, it was Shangguan Qiudi.
Qiudi, who had changed into a snow-white satin robe, apologized profusely as soon as she entered the room, saying that she was having trouble putting on and taking off her feather attire, which delayed her time.
Of course He Qizhou wouldn't mind, and just as he was about to leave, Qiudi asked He Qizhou to sit down, and she refilled the tea for him, and then slowly took off the veil. It turned out to be a beautiful face, but He Qizhou, who was used to seeing beautiful women, really saw her true face.
It didn't feel as amazing as before.
Qiu Di excels in her eyes, figure and white skin. Her face behind the veil is beautiful, but she is not necessarily as beautiful as Liu Yuting and Jiang He, and far less beautiful than Xiaoxue. Of course, that is just He Qizhou's paranoid opinion.
, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Xiaoxue is not necessarily any prettier than the other three.
Except for her pair of deep and charming blue eyes, Qiudi's appearance is closer to that of a Han Chinese. At a glance, she can tell that she is a mixed race of Han and Hu. He Qizhou didn't know what to say. Instead, he hoped that Qiudi would ask some scriptures and poems quickly. Then he
After asking three questions, it was natural to say goodbye without hurting the other party's heart. Unexpectedly, Qiudi only asked about Jiangling's disaster relief. He also said that he had been in trouble since he was a child and had to live in a romantic place. He admired He Qizhou's feat.
Seeing that the other party was telling the truth, He Qizhou was too embarrassed to leave with an excuse, so he could only finish the story about Jiangling's grain fraud as soon as possible. However, Xu Shi arrived in the blink of an eye, and all the city gates were closed inside and outside.
He Qizhou finally finished speaking and stood up to say goodbye.
Qiudi found out very strangely that few men could remain indifferent under her tender gaze, and the two of them had been in the same room for such a long time. When He Qizhou said this, he apologized again, saying that all the city gates
They are all closed, and there are not many inns in the imperial city. There may not be any vacancies. If you sleep on the street, you will be arrested by the imperial guards. Secondly, it does not match He Qizhou's identity, so He Qizhou is allowed to stay in this room.
Rest, Mr. Xiao has already borne today's expenses, so there is no need for He Qizhou to pay.
He Qizhou had no choice but to agree, thinking of leaving early in the morning.
Shangguan Qiudi hesitated before leaving, but whispered at the last moment: "Drinking is harmful to the body. If He Qizhou drank too much just now, he should stop drinking later."
He Qizhou glanced at the exquisite wine bottle on the flower table, thanked him, and sent away the autumn flowers that ordinary people dream of. He Qizhou glanced at the pink tent and bright red quilt on the carved bed in the inner room, smiled bitterly, and then
I blew out the oil lamp, sat cross-legged and meditated, and prepared to practice hard tonight.
With the lessons from the last assassination, He Qizhou was actually prepared today. Not only did he prepare commonly used medicines in his clothes, but he even had a unicorn armor inside! Not to mention that he was embarrassed to sleep on that embroidered bed, it would have been an ordinary mattress.
I didn't dare to really fall asleep. It was just that after less than a stick of incense, soft footsteps came from the corridor again, and then stopped in front of He Qizhou's door. Since there was an oil lamp in the corridor, his slender and graceful figure was clearly reflected.
On top of the screen door.
"Is it Miss Shangguan? Why are you here again?" He Qizhou asked nervously.
The door was not bolted. The person outside the door said "hmm", gently pushed the screen door open a crack, stepped into the dark room, and immediately closed the door.
Through a ray of light that flashed in the corridor, He Qizhou noticed that the person was wearing a white robe, with a veil on his face, and a pair of eyes with a faint blue light. "Aren't you a Shangguan girl?" Even though the room was dim, He Qizhou's eyesight was excellent and he found that the person was wearing a veil.
After putting on the robe, the body was full of bumps and convexities, and it was plumper than Qiu Di. Her questioning voice even contained a hint of trembling.
"Mr. He, I was afraid that you would be lonely all night, so I originally decided to accompany you in person. However, I feel a little unwell today, so I specially ordered my servant to accompany you."
It was the dancer who led the way! He Qizhou recognized the other party and hurriedly stood up and said: "No, no need..."
"Then it's okay for the slave to come in and ask for some water and drink, right?"
"Okay, okay." He Qidao said hurriedly: "Girl, please go back and rest soon after you finish drinking."
"Does Mr. He dislike the low status of this servant? He is not even willing to say a few words." Hu Ji said sadly.
He Qizhou originally wanted to light a lamp, but when he entered the door, he found that the other party seemed to be undressed under his robe, so he gave up the idea and said helplessly: "How can this happen? Let's chat with the girl for a few words. After the chat,
Please ask the girl to go back early."
"Then thank you, Young Master. I heard that Young Master is very popular. Let's chat while drinking." After saying that, he sat down next to Yuan Ji and poured a glass of wine for He Qizhou and himself: "I admire you just like the young lady.
Congratulations to the young master for your chivalry, I will do it first as a token of respect." After saying this, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
He Qizhou had no choice but to pick up the wine glass. When he was about to drink, he suddenly remembered what Qiu Di said before leaving. He took a sip of the wine and did not dare to swallow it. After tasting it carefully, he found that it was not poisonous. He was even intoxicated.
No medicine has been taken...
"Master He just looks down on the slave family!" Hu Ji said in a sweet voice, feeling a little displeased when she saw that He Qizhou just took a sip.
He Qizhou could only pretend to pour all the wine into his mouth, but he didn't dare to swallow it. He continued to check whether the wine had any abnormalities. Suddenly, he felt his face was hot. Before the wine entered his stomach, a warmth rose from his dantian.
An urge to hug each other.
Hu Ji poured more wine for the two of them, and then suddenly said to herself, "It's so hot," and she untied the belt on her robe. The white satin robe slipped down like running water, and there was no trace of it inside.
, a perfect body was vaguely displayed in front of He Qizhou's eyes.
…
The red candles were burning, the embroidery bed was messy, and a charming face with slightly curly hair was buried in the chest of a naked man. He squinted his blue eyes, looked up at the handsome man's eyes, and said quietly:
"Xiao Lang, I'm already nineteen..."
Lying on the bed was none other than the extremely handsome Xiao Jihuai, and the one lying naked on top of him was Shangguan Qiudi!
"Di'er, I told you, I will give you your status, but you have to get me married anyway, right?" Xiao Jihuai stroked the long black hair hanging on Shangguan's snow-white back.
"Hmph, the humane Xiao Lang is unparalleled in his infatuation, and he is indeed well-deserved. If Miss Xue'er doesn't agree, will you keep holding her back?" Qiudi wanted to stand up, but Xiao Jihuai hugged her again.
"No, my father has already negotiated with Zhang Zhiyuan, and it is estimated that the marriage will be completed this year."
"What if she doesn't agree?" Qiudi asked.
"Why don't you agree? Do you think there will be someone more suitable than me?" Xiao Jihuai said arrogantly.
"Then why did you ask me to help you design He Qizhou? I heard that they have a very close relationship..."
"Xiaoxue is still too young, I just want to get rid of her unrealistic ideas..."
"I know you only have Xiaoxue in your heart!"
"Humph, that girl doesn't know anything about style, and her temper is so stubborn. I just value the strength behind her!" Xiao Jihuai comforted her.
"Her family is so poor, and her father is just a third-rank servant. If there is anything you can rely on, please don't coax me." Qiudi became more and more sad.
"What do you know? His father is the leader of Qingliu. Winning him over will be a big help to us! Also, behind her family are the Jinling Sect, Quanzhen Sect, Emei Sect, and even the Zhang family! You say,
If I marry her and unite these forces, the Xiao family will only stand stronger. Don't worry, the only one I will favor in the future is you!" Xiao Jihuai nodded Qiudi's straight nose.
