Two servants, Fu San and Bi Hua, were talking in the main hall.
Chu Qing and Tao Ruolin, the two actual hosts, sat on the stone bench in the garden.
Originally, Chu Qing wanted to talk about how to develop the market and quote, but after sitting down, Tao Ruolin just looked at him with a smile on her chin.
Chu Qing didn't speak, and Tao Ruolin didn't speak either, they just smiled.
The two of them looked at each other without saying anything. Logically speaking, it should be awkward.
Chu Qing felt embarrassed at first, but suddenly felt that it was not awkward at all. The two of them just sat like this, not talking, looking at each other, both smiling.
God seems to have noticed that there are more and more refugees outside Beijing, and sunny days are rare.
There was a gentle breeze, and Chu Qing suddenly felt that the whole world was quiet, and the quietness made him feel a kind of peace in his heart. This kind of peace was the first emotion he felt after traveling through time.
Everyone was noisy, fussing, scheming, and suffering. He saw it, getting closer and closer, and he followed suit, noisy, scheming, suffered, and struggled.
Keep going, slowly get used to it, adapt to it, and then you will be like this for the rest of your life, unable to find peace or tranquility.
Suddenly, Chu Qing thought of what kind of life he really wanted to pursue.
In a mansion in the suburbs, a few servants and a local dog are looking for a woman who can laugh and grow old. They coax their infant heirs and watch the children noisy. They are noisy until their eyebrows are raised, and they are noisy until their hair is white. They are quiet.
, being lively, laughing, and happy is enough.
"Your master is the prince and grand master of the dynasty. He is relied upon by the emperor and respected by the scholars. The young master is a minister of the court and serves as the young minister of Dali Temple." Chu Qing asked puzzledly: "Why don't you move into the city instead of living in the suburbs?
convenient."
"It's noisy in the city." Tao Ruolin sat up straight and stretched out, with a lazy look on her face and a beautiful figure: "Would you like some tea?"
Chu Qing was a little thirsty, but he shook his head.
Tao Ruolin lay on the stone table, raised her chin and looked at Chu Qing, and said calmly like an old friend: "It's so nice here, there is a courtyard, it's quiet, you can eat and sleep, eat, listen to the chicken in the morning
When you hear dogs barking in the evening, many children will come to the yard to play and look happy."
Chu Qing's expression changed: "Is this the life you want, or is it your young lady?"
"Why do you ask?"
"curious."
"Why are you curious?"
"Just out of curiosity." Chu Qing touched her nose: "I just feel that the eldest lady in your family shouldn't like this kind of quiet life based on her temperament."
He very much hopes that Tao Ruolin will say that this is the life she likes. If so, he will admit it and say that this is the life he also longs for.
Of course, if Tao Ruolin said that this was the life Bihua wanted, that would be another matter, and he would not admit it even to death.
Tao Ruolin blinked her big eyes: "Do you know Miss?"
"If you don't know, it's just based on hearsay."
"Hearsay." Tao Ruolin pretended to look at the main hall and asked quietly: "Tell me, what did you hear?"
Chu Qing hesitated a little, then chose his words: "Nothing else, just a casual chat, and I've heard about it."
"Say it."
"The eldest lady in your family has been married to two men?"
There was a hint of strangeness in Tao Ruolin's eyes: "The second time is not considered a marriage, it is just an engagement."
After finishing speaking, Tao Ruolin stood up and said in a cold tone: "I'll go call the eldest lady and talk about serious matters."
Chu Qing shrugged and muttered to himself: "How pitiful."
"What's so pitiful?"
"It's okay." Chu Qing turned around and looked at the main hall: "I just feel that your eldest lady is quite pitiful."
"Pity?" The smile on Tao Ruolin's face disappeared, replaced by an indescribable emotion, neither angry nor annoyed. She slowly sat back on the stone bench, but her face was a bit domineering.
appearance.
"Mr. Chu, you want to say that pitiful people must be hateful, right?"
"What's so hateful?" Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "I mean, I finally found two good men, but they both died violently. How can I not be pitiful? I must have been heartbroken to death, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to live outside the capital."
here."
Tao Ruolin's expression froze and she stared at Chu Qing for a long while.
Chu Qing felt uncomfortable being looked at: "What are you looking at me for?"
"I was wondering whether you were telling the truth or a lie."
"Of course it's true." Chu Qing lowered his voice: "Look, your eldest lady's appearance... Well, it's not an appearance, it's just... quite ordinary. The son of the navy commander can love him more than anything else.
No, it must be that they are really in love, and they no longer care about appearance. They really love each other, and then her husband dies. How can she not be sad? She finally meets her true love again, who is the grandson of the previous Prime Minister.
, the result is also the same situation, who else can bear it? If it were me, I would become a monk, no, a nun."
"Pfft", Tao Ruolin laughed, and the smile became more and more uncontrollable. Originally, she just covered her mouth and smiled, but in the end, she seemed to have thought about it deeply, and felt like she had heard the funniest joke in the world. She laughed so hard that she leaned forward and backward.
.
Tao Ruolin couldn't stop laughing, but she noticed Chu Qing's puzzled and extremely strange expression, and blushed. But after blushing, she still laughed. She couldn't help laughing, so she had to lie on the stone table and put her head
Stepping into the arms, it was extremely uncomfortable to endure, and the two slender legs kept kicking.
Chu Qing grinned and was secretly surprised. Could this girl have some serious brain disease? Why is it so funny?
Seeing that Tao Ruolin was about to die from laughter, Chu Qing knocked on the table: "As for that, it's just that good..."
Before she finished speaking, Tao Ruolin raised her head and actually laughed with tears in her eyes. In addition, because she was lying on the stone table, her tears were stained with dust and rubbed on her face, making her look silly.
Oddly enough, Chu Qing also laughed out loud for no reason.
His smile made Tao Ruolin laugh even more happily.
As if it was contagious, Chu Qing pointed at Tao Ruolin's dirty face and laughed heartily.
Both of them were laughing, laughing without any grace or manners. They looked at each other and laughed, like two fools. They didn't even know why they were laughing, they just thought it was very funny.
The wanton laughter drew Fu San and Bi Hua out of the main hall, and they looked at each other.
Fusan was confused: "Master, what's going on?"
"Oh, ignore them, Third Brother continues to speak slang to me."
After finishing her words, Bihua grabbed Fusan's arm and dragged him into the room. Fusan was unsteady and almost bumped into Bihua's arms.
Fu San, who visited the flower boats and prostitutes' houses in Beijing, suddenly became very embarrassed. He had never seen such a broad mind.
