After Qiuniang left the palace, she lived with Gu Baiyi, and the two siblings depended on each other.
Gu Baiyi behaves in a low-key manner. He is just a seventh-grade clerk and a seventh-grade clerk. In a place like Kyoto, he is like an ant. He has no power and even the economy is very tight. Qiuniang can only do her best to take care of her younger brother's life.
.
When she left the palace, she was already past the age of marriage. She was already considered an old girl in her twenties. Most women at this age would already have quite a few children.
In the dead of night, Qiuniang had not thought about her future destination, but when she thought that Gu Baiyi was not yet married, she gave up this idea.
Although she is not young, she is beautiful, virtuous and hard-working. Naturally, there are indispensable matchmakers in the market, but they are all rejected by Qiuniang. In the final analysis, firstly, it is to take care of Gu Baiyi, and secondly, there is really no matchmaker.
man.
She and Qin Xiao met by the Luoshui River. For the first time, Qin Xiao had a grudge against Qingyi Tang because of her. Naturally, deep down in her heart, this beautiful girl felt a little grateful to Qin Xiao.
From then on, Qin Xiao took care of her everywhere. After all, Qiuniang was not an ignorant little girl. She had a woman's sharp insight. She vaguely noticed that Qin Xiao seemed to have thoughts about her, but she couldn't be sure. After all, they were quite different in age.
, I never thought that this young man would fall in love with a woman who was already past the age of marriage. When Qin Xiao later appeared to have ambiguous words and deeds, he even kissed him unexpectedly in the house in Kushui Lane.
Suddenly, Qiuniang was sure that Qin Xiao had evil intentions towards her.
Although she was as ripe as a fruit, she had never been picked by anyone. Except for her younger brother, she had never even had close contact with any other man. The sudden appearance of this young man, and his ferocious attack, shocked her.
The beautiful girl who had been in love was panicked.
She even thought that Qin Xiao was just impulsive because he was young and energetic and saw how pretty she was.
But Qin Xiao broke into Qingyi Hall alone and did not care about her own life in order to rescue her from Qingyi Hall. After this incident, although Qiuniang said nothing, the shadow of this young man was in her heart day and night.
, I look forward to seeing him every day, but I am also afraid that he will actually appear in front of me.
Sometimes even in my sleep, I can dream of scenes of endless love and affection with Qin Xiaorou. Qin Xiao is infinitely gentle, and I try my best to cater to Qin Xiao in my dreams. When I wake up, my face is red and my ears are smelly.
At that time, I also felt a deep sense of loss.
But such a thing cannot be mentioned to anyone and can only be hidden in one's own heart.
Qin Xiao was promoted step by step, and soon after arriving in Beijing, he was already famous.
Qiuniang's heart was extremely complicated.
She had not cared about her own destiny for many years and had never had contact with anyone. It was precisely this that once she was aroused by Qin Xiao, the feeling deep inside her heart was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
The shadow of the young man is always there, but he can't show it at all.
No one knew that she had concealed her anxiety very well in recent days.
She knew that there was a gap in age and status between herself and Qin Xiao, and it was impossible for her to get together, so she thought about driving him out of her mind. However, the more she thought about it, the more his shadow appeared in her mind.
I became more and more entangled with him in my dreams at night.
Today, Qin Xiao suddenly confessed to her frankly, and even decided to marry her. This made Qiu Niang feel incredible, but she was also filled with joy deep in her heart.
Being held in Qin Xiao's arms at this time, Qiuniang even felt that it was just a dream, just like she had dreamed of being with Qin Xiao for several nights. She just hoped that the dream would be longer and not wake up too soon.
"Dali Temple is under renovation. Brother Gu also agreed to come to Dali Temple to help me." Qin Xiao put his arms around Qiuniang's waist and let Qiuniang lean into his arms. He smelled the faint body fragrance emanating from her body and said softly:
"After Dali Temple is renovated, I will propose marriage to Brother Gu. In my position, if I can do something good for the people, I will do it. If one day I can no longer stay in Dali Temple, we will leave Kyoto and find another place to live.
.But there is one thing I won’t hide from you, and I want to tell you first. One day the imperial court really wants to send troops to recapture Xiling, I will definitely fight back with the army. Except for this matter, I will be by your side at all other times."
Qiuniang's heart was filled with sweetness. Of course she already knew Qin Xiao's origins. She said softly: "You want to go back to Xiling to avenge General Black Feather. Of course I can't stop you."
She was considerate. Qin Xiao raised one hand, held Qiuniang's chin, raised it gently, and looked at the beautiful face in his arms. Her eyes were watery and clear, and there was a hint of something in the clearness.
Charming, my heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but move forward and kissed Qiu Niang on her lips.
Qiuniang closed her eyes and hooked an arm around Qin Xiao's neck. Qin Xiao felt that this beautiful lady's lips and teeth were fragrant, and her body was even more fragrant and soft, as if she was about to melt. His heart was so moved that he couldn't help but turn over.
After turning around, he put Qiuniang down on the bed and pressed her body down.
When Qiuniang was lying on the bed, her face was as flushed as peach blossoms, her eyes were blurred, and she was obviously still immersed in tenderness and sweetness. When Qin Xiao's body came close to her, with one hand even pressing on her chest, she suddenly woke up and suddenly
Pushing Qin Xiao away, he sat up, his breath was short, his temples were messy, he shook his head and said: "No... no, not... not yet...!"
Qin Xiao was pushed away and was really caught off guard. Seeing Qiuniang's face flushed but with a serious expression, she calmed down for a moment and said hurriedly: "Sister Qiuniang, it's my fault, don't be angry...
..!”
Qiuniang lowered her head, straightened her clothes, turned her head and glanced at Qin Xiao. Seeing Qin Xiao's embarrassed look, she couldn't help biting her lips, stood up and walked to Qin Xiao, suddenly hugged Qin Xiao gently and said softly
: "I don't blame you, it's just that... I don't want you to think that I am a contemptible woman. When... when we really get married, I will naturally... naturally give myself up."
Here you go...!" At this point, her cheeks turned red again.
Qin Xiao had just been in love for a while and was really worried that Qiuniang would be angry. Hearing Qiuniang say this, his heart felt relieved. He was about to hug Qiuniang when he suddenly heard a voice from outside: "Master, someone wants to see you!"
As soon as the voice sounded, Qiuniang hurriedly let go, took two steps back, and distanced herself from Qin Xiao, with a look of panic on her pretty face.
Qin Xiao frowned, and there was even a hint of anger in his eyebrows. He walked outside the hall and saw the gatekeeper standing not far away, respectfully reporting: "Master, there is a master from Dali Temple who wants to see you!"
"A person from Dali Temple?" Qin Xiao felt strange and said, "Did he tell me his name?"
"He said he had something important to report to the master. He saw the master's horses outside the house and knew that the master was in the house, so he asked to see him." The gatekeeper said, "But he didn't say his name."
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Let him wait in the lobby."
After the janitor left, Qin Xiao returned to the house. Seeing that Qiuniang was a little embarrassed, he stepped forward and said softly: "Sister Qiuniang, please take a look around the house first. This will be our residence from now on. You
If you think there is anything that needs to be changed, or if there is anything that needs to be added, just tell me." Looking at the shy beautiful sister, I couldn't help but step forward and kiss her on the forehead, and then I was satisfied and went.
Go to the lobby.
Facing the main entrance of the mansion is the lobby. The front yard is spacious. When Qin Xiao arrived in the lobby, someone immediately came up to him and said, "Master Qin, excuse me." But it was Yunlu, the young minister of Dali Temple.
Qin Xiao was a little surprised. He had arrived at Dali Temple not long ago, and he actually had almost no friendship with Yunlu. However, Yunlu was also a young minister in Dali Temple, and he and he were equal in rank.
It's just that the sage ordered him to clean up Dali Temple. Although they are both young ministers, the power in their hands is completely different.
Qin Xiao knew very well that Yunlu's visit must be for the purpose of cleaning up Dali Temple. Like Feixin, Yunlu must be worried about being kicked out of Dali Temple.
"It turns out to be Yun Shaoqing." Qin Xiao returned the courtesy smile and said, "Master Yun, why are you here? I haven't moved in here yet. I just took the time to come over for a casual look today."
Yun Lu said with a smile: "I was very happy to learn that your master's house is in Taipingfang. My house is also in Taipingfang, and it is only one street away from Mr. Qin. I know that Mr. Qin has not moved here yet.
I was worried that someone would take the opportunity to sneak into the house and steal, so I sent someone to watch outside. I just reported that I saw Master Qin returning to the house, so I came here specially to see if Mr. Qin was missing anything."
"Master Yun didn't go to Dali Temple today?" Qin Xiao asked Yun Lu with a smile after asking him to sit down.
Yun Lu was a little embarrassed and said: "I didn't feel very well last night, so I didn't go there today." He looked around, raised his hand and stroked his beard and said: "Given by the saint, it is really a blessed place. The feng shui of this house is excellent.
Mr. Qin is a lucky person, a lucky person, and a blessed place, and he will be even more prosperous in the future."
"Master Yun, who lived in this house before?" Qin Xiao asked: "Isn't it possible that no one lived in this house before me?"
Yun Lu smiled and said: "Before Mr. Qin, there were also great people living here. The current Commander-in-Chief of Longlin Guard Tantai Xuanye lived in this house in Taipingfang before he moved away. Commander-in-Chief
After living in this house, my career will be smooth and I will rise to the top."
Qin Xiao was startled and shocked. He really didn't expect that this was Tantai Xuanye's former residence.
Tantai Xuanye is the sworn brother of General Heiyu, but he and General Heiyu are quite different in age. As far as Qin Xiao knows, Tantai Xuanye is only in his early thirties this year, and he and General Heiyu are considered close friends. However,
Despite his young age, he is already very famous and controls the most powerful Dragon Scale Guard in the Forbidden Palace.
When Qin Xiao first arrived in Kyoto, Han Yunong and Du Hongsheng were detained separately. Qin Xiao was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know what to do, but he thought of Tantai Xuanye's friendship with General Black Feather and ran to Tianhefang to hope that Tantai Xuanye
He came to help, but who knew that not only did he not see Tantai Xuanye, but he was rejected.
Qin Xiao knew very well that at that time, Xiling fell, and the palace was furious. Tantai Xuanye was worried about being involved in the whirlpool, so he stayed away.
Qin Xiao didn't have a good impression of Tantai Xuanye. Hearing that Tantai Xuanye had lived in this house before, he felt a little unhappy.
"Master Yun, what is the origin of this Commander-in-Chief of Tantai?" Qin Xiao thought for a moment and finally asked with a smile: "I know very little about him, please enlighten me!"
