Late Ming sea owl

Chapter 106 The stars and the wind this night

It was already late at night after talking to the Xu family and his son, and the banquet outside the private room had already ended.After all, Zhu Niang was pregnant. Seeing that Lin Hai didn't come out, she went back to rest under Xiu'e's persuasion.

The Xu family's father and son took Lin Hai to Zhu Niang's residence in Xu's house, and then went back to their rooms.Lin Hai pushed open the courtyard door and saw that the lights in the main room were still on, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. For a man who is busy outside, the greatest psychological comfort is that there is still a light on for him when he returns home.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the handwriting corridor on the right: "Brother, you are back."

Lin Hai was suddenly startled. When he looked closely, it turned out to be Lun No. [-], so he said, "It's so late at night, what are you doing here without sleeping?"

Lun Diyi came forward and said, "I'm afraid that my eldest brother doesn't know about my sister-in-law's room, so I'm waiting here."

Lin Hai nodded and said, "Where is Wu Lang?"

"I drank too much and slept like a dead person." Lun first smiled. Under the moonlight, you could faintly see that his face was very red, and he obviously drank too much.

"Next time, don't let him drink so much, or he will go crazy and kill people. The Dongfan people have the custom of headhunting." Lin Hai said and added, "Since he is asleep, you should rest early. You haven't slept these days." Okay?"

At this time, the door of the main room opened with a creak, and Fang Xiu'e came out of the door and said: "Brother Lin, come in quickly, my wife is still waiting for you."

Lin Hai nodded and stepped forward. Behind him, Lun Yi winked at Xiu'e and pointed at the courtyard door.Xiu'e took a few steps forward, and after passing by Lin Hai, she shook her head at Lun Yi and went straight back to her room.

Lin Hai walked into the main room and gently closed the door. Zhu Niang was lying on her side on the bed, with her back to him.

"Madam, my husband is back." Lin Hai called out, but Zhu Niang didn't answer.

"Stop pretending, Xiu'e said you're still waiting for me." Lin Hai stepped forward and reached out to scratch Zhu Niang's neck.Zhu Niang suddenly turned over, grabbed Lin Hai's hand, pressed it under her and opened her mouth to bite it.

"Hiss..." Lin Hai took a breath. This girl is still so aggressive, and her movements are still so fierce even though she is pregnant with Liujia. "Slow down, slow down, be careful of squeezing the baby."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Niang quickly let go and carefully lay on her side.

"I thought I would never see you again." Tears welled up in Zhu Niang's eyes. She had been suppressing herself in front of others, and it was only then that she finally cried.

"It's my fault, I came back late." Lin Hai knew that it was his words before leaving that made Zhu Niang worried, and now he could only comfort her with gentle words.He didn't bother to take a shower or change clothes, so he went directly to bed and held Zhu Niang in his arms, and the two chatted incessantly.

After a long time, Lin Hai said: "You are pregnant with the child, don't be too tired, go to bed early."

"I won't sleep, I want to listen to you." Zhu Niang said unwillingly.

"Then what do you want to hear?"

"Anything is fine, I just want to hear what you have to say."

Lin Hai then talked about what he had experienced after the separation. Just after saying a few words, he heard soft snoring coming from his arms.It seems that this girl can't bear it for a long time. Her sleep these days is probably worse than Lun No. [-]'s.

Lin Hai looked down and saw that Zhu Niang in the dream was sleeping very peacefully, with a slight smile on her face.He smiled slightly, turned around and blew out the candle beside the bed, and soon entered dreamland.

Lun first saw that the lights in the main room were out, so he came to Xiu'e's door and knocked gently.

After a while, the door opened a crack, and Xiu'e stuck her head out and said, "Why are you so weird for not sleeping so late?" "You didn't sleep too, didn't you?" Lun Yi smiled and stepped forward to open the door.

But Xiu'e refused to let him in and whispered, "What are you doing? Coming to someone else's room in the middle of the night. What are you talking about?"

"What are you afraid of? Everyone is asleep." Lun Yi was about to rush in under the influence of alcohol.

"If you keep messing around, I'm going to yell." Xiu'e pressed against the door tightly. Lun Di broke into a cold sweat when he heard this and quickly let go.

Xiu'e closed the door, and not long after, a cry came from behind the door.Lun Yi panicked and hurriedly whispered in front of the door: "Xiu'e, it's my fault. I miss you so much."

Xiu'e was still sobbing behind the door: "I thought you really wanted to be nice to me, but it turns out you look down on me so much."

Lun Yi just broke out in a cold sweat. At this time, he had almost sobered up from the wine, so he whispered softly: "Xiu'e, listen to me. I really don't mean to belittle you. I just drank too much." Be confused."

Xiu'e's sobs gradually subsided, and Lun Yi continued: "Brother asked me to keep an eye on Wu Lang. I wanted to see you alone, so I drank too much and got him drunk. Xiu'e, I This is all for you, you must not blame me."

There was no movement inside the door for a long time. Lun Yi waited for a moment and then said: "I know you are still there. I won't go in. How about we just talk outside."

The door opened with a creak, and Xiu'e walked out, with tears on her face: "Brother Lun, Xiu'e has been thinking of you all the time these days."

"I know, you've lost weight in the past six months." Lun Yi was so excited that he almost couldn't help but step forward and hug Xiu'e, but in the end he still didn't dare to make a mistake.

"Let's go talk in the garden outside. Don't wake others up." Xiu'e said and walked out of the courtyard, and Lun Yi quickly followed.

Neither of them noticed that Lu Tiedan's door had already been opened a crack.

The courtyard where Zhu Niang and others live is behind the garden of Xu's house and is relatively independent.This season is when the Erythrina flowers first bloom. This flower is so common in Quanzhou that Quanzhou Port, a major international trade port in the Song Dynasty, was also called Erythrina port. Some Erythrina trees were also planted in Xu Zhai's garden.

Lun Yi and Fang Xiu'e sat under a tall cypress tree, side by side, telling each other their heartfelt feelings about parting. Unknowingly, the moon was sinking in the west.

The temperature in Xiamen in November of the Tatung calendar is very pleasant. The sea breeze blows off the eryngium flowers from the branches and falls on Xiu'e's shoulders. The human faces and the beautiful faces complement each other in the moonlight.

Perhaps he was blown by the sea breeze for a while, and Lun first felt a little drunk again. He turned his head and wanted to kiss Xiu'e, but the latter reached out to stop him.

Xiu'e shook her head gently and said: "Brother Lun, it's not possible now. If you really want to marry me, just tell Brother Lin that my wife loves me the most, and she will ask me what I want."

Lun first said: "Okay, I will talk to my eldest brother tomorrow."

"It's almost dawn. They should wake up soon. Let's go back quickly." Xiu'e said and added, "You leave first. I'll leave later. Don't let others see us together."

Lun Yiyi responded, got up and walked towards the courtyard door. Suddenly he heard Xiu'e's voice coming from behind him: "Brother Lun, I'm waiting for you to marry me."

Lun Diyi turned around and saw Xiu'e sitting under the cypress tree in the starry sky, looking at him dreamily. The sea breeze blew her hair, slowly fluttering in the watery night.
