businesswoman's wife

The front yard was lively, but the back yard was a little colder. Xu Xiuyi walked through a bamboo forest and bumped into a man head-on. She looked up to see Xu Lanqing in a red dress. Xu Lanqing didn't look very happy today, her expression was that of a groom. The official should not be calm. Behind Xu Lanqing, a pair of black sheepskin boots were exposed. Xu Xiuyi looked up along the sheepskin boots. She really did not expect that she would meet An Chengshao in the Xu residence.

I haven't seen you for a long time, goodbye, he is still so handsome, even if Xu Lanqing is wearing a groom's clothes, standing beside him is a bit inferior.

"Young Master An."

Xu Xiu recalled shouting, estranged from life.

Xu Lanqing was quite surprised: "Do you two recognize each other?"

Xu Xiuyi said, "Well, I've seen it a few times. Why isn't my brother here in front of me? The bride is coming soon."

Xu Lanqing sighed inaudibly, but quickly brought up a smile: "Since the two of you know each other, then sister, take Brother An to my Erding bookstore, and I'll pick up the bride."

True relatives, Xu Lanqing seems to have just concluded a matchmaker's word, his parents' orders, he himself is not very willing.

But he was always filial.

Xu Xiuyi nodded, urging Xu Lanqing to hurry to the front yard, otherwise the time would be delayed, so she turned her head and said politely to An Chengshao, "Young Master An, please."

Xu Lanqing has many bookstores with simple names, one grade, two grades, three grades...

Xu Xiuyi walked quietly with An Chengshao, without saying a word to each other. When she arrived at the door of Erding Bookstore, she opened the door and asked An Chengshao to enter. The room was filled with incense. , covered with various landscape paintings.

Xu Xiuyi found the tea according to her memory, but found that a fire was needed to boil water. The bookstore was forbidden to burn, and there was no stove, so she said to An Chengshao, "Young Master An, sit down for a while, and I will order the maid to bring tea."

"Xu Xiuyi."

He called her, calling her name.

Xu Xiuyi stopped, stunned for a moment, turned around, and put on a polite smile like a masked person: "Is there something wrong with Mr. An?"

He seemed a little annoyed: "You don't want to say anything?"

Xu Xiuyi was curious: "What?"

He became more and more annoyed: "You really have nothing to say about that golden jade full of flowers?"

Xu Xiuyi has always been smart, but now she can't guess whether the so-called golden and jade full house is the one he wore on the woman's head that day, or the one he gave her.

If it was hers, she had already lost it, and if it was the one on the woman's head, she would not have the right to intervene.

After thinking about it, she thought that Lu Hong should have told him about the loss of Jinyu Mantang, and that day she asked Lu Hong to apologize for her, so she said, "I should apologize to you in person, then I know the item is very expensive, but someone in my hand stole it, and the government checked it but couldn't find it, I'm sorry."

He was slightly startled, and for a long while there was inexplicable joy in his tone: "So, your gold and jade are full of people being stolen?"

Xu Xiuyi didn't understand the reason for his happy tone, he was really strange.

She nodded honestly: "Yes, the wet nurse before Danzi stole a lot of things from me. Danzi is my adopted daughter."

She explained, afraid that he would not understand.

His face became even more joyful, and he took a step forward: "Didn't you ask someone to take it as a pawn because you were short of money?"

"Of course not, you know this thing is worth it, that day..."

Having said that Xu Xiuyi is a very smart woman, it is clear that An Chengshao thought that she was short of money enough to be a gift from him, so she just had an inquisitive attitude and asked her to save Jin Yumantang what she said.

He was angry and Xu Xiuyi understood it, but what was he so happy about at the moment, he was very happy that all the gold and jade were stolen.

He probably also knew what day Xu Xiuyi was referring to, and said to her, "The woman you saw when you came to my house that day was the daughter of one of my uncles. I have always regarded her as her sister."

younger sister!

In Xu Xiuyi's heart, she couldn't tell what she was feeling. She only felt like the sound of flowers and bones blooming. She couldn't hear them, but she could see the beauty of the flowers blooming.

Inexplicably good mood.

The smile on his face also warmed: "I thought it was yours..."

"My relationship?"

He opened his mouth first, his black eyes looked at Xu Xiuyi, and suddenly he took a step closer, with a mouthful of breath, with a faint scent of tea, sprayed on Xu Xiuyi's forehead: "Xu Xiuyi, there is something I must explain to you, I don't care what others think about my relationship with the Fifth Prince, but you are not allowed to misunderstand."

Why did he tell her this, he didn't care if she misunderstood.

She blushed.

"Oh!"

I answered, but I really don't know how to answer, I can't ask you what to do and explain it to me so clearly.

Seeing her lackluster response, he became anxious: "The Fifth Prince and I are just friends of life and death, and there is no joy at all. He is only infatuated with your brother."

Xu Xiuyi's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't know how to react for a while, but she replied dully: "Oh!"

A pair of big palms hugged her shoulders, she was slightly stunned, raised her head to look at An Chengshao, his eyes were burning, his face was crimson, but his eyes looked at her very firmly.

"Xu Xiuyi."

"En!" She responded awkwardly, breathing a little too quickly.

He leaned down abruptly, those thin lips were pressed against Xu Xiuyi's red lips, and there was a faint scent of tea in his mouth, which was a first-class hair tip, Xu Xiuyi was no stranger to this tea scent, it was her grandfather's collection, only used to entertain distinguished guests .

But she was very unfamiliar with the rest of the scent except the tea scent. She didn't resist or respond, she just stayed in place, unable to tell whether it was a display or a dream.

Once in a dream, she also lived like this with An Chengshao, but then the Fifth Prince suddenly appeared and woke her from her dream.

An Chengshao's hand was gently placed behind her head, and with a little effort, the two lips were pressed even tighter.

He kissed awkwardly, she didn't respond, the kiss didn't last long, and when it stopped, both of them blushed.

"I……"

Young Master An Cheng broke the silence first.

"No offense, just..."

"Auntie, are you in there?"

An Chengshao's words were interrupted by a maid from the Xu residence. Xu Xiuyi quickly wiped her mouth, fearing that people would see the clues, and then she blushed and turned back out of the room.

A maid stood at the door with tea in her hand: "Auntie, Qing Ye asked us to bring tea and cakes."

Xu Xiuyi took it over and urged the maid in a hurried tone: "It's so busy ahead, hurry up and help, just let me say hello here."

"Eh!"

The maid simply didn't see anything, she replied obediently and turned away.

Xu Xiuyi was holding tea and cakes, neither entering nor leaving, but felt that her face was burning hot, just now An Chengshao's kiss was like a dream, and it was a little unreal in her mind.

"Let me do it!"

She didn't know when An Chengshao came to her side. She asked An Chengshao to take the tray in her hand. She followed An Chengshao into the room with a red face. No pastries and tea.

The scene just now, Xu Zhen was just a dream, although there was still a hint of tea fragrance on his mouth, although An Chengshao's face was also red like the happy words posted everywhere in the house.

"Have some tea!"

The atmosphere was ambiguous and awkward, and An Chengshao was also extremely unnatural.

In comparison, Xu Xiuyi was more generous, smiled at him slightly, and found a topic to resolve the embarrassment: "Don't you know that Jinyu Mantang was stolen? I asked Lu Hong to help me bring an apology to you."

An Chengshao held the teacup, but did not eat tea. He was surprised to hear that: "That girl Lu Hong didn't tell me, I just thought you were short of money."

"Even if I'm short of money, I won't take it as your gift."

After he finished speaking, he only felt a little more ambiguous in the air, An Cheng looked at her tenderly with a pair of black eyes.

He didn't know exactly what Xu Xiuyi was thinking, but he probably understood.

He kissed her on the spur of the moment, she leaned very close, her face with powder makeup was like a fairy, and her red lips were smeared with lip gloss, which was crystal clear, he couldn't help it.

When he kissed, he thought that he had to scratch one by one. After all, he was blaspheming her and being frivolous. He didn't want her to show such a shy demeanor. He understood in his heart that Xu Xiuyi also had him in his heart.

Thinking of that day in front of Qin Yan, Xu Xiuyi looked at the golden jade full of flowers, and his tone suddenly became so alienated. At that time, he thought that Xu Xiuyi might be angry, but today he can be more certain that Xu Xiuyi must be very unhappy that day. on.

He didn't expect that she cherished that golden jade so much.

He put down the teacup, took out the delicate little flower from the bag, and brought it to Xu Xiuyi: "The second master of the Nan family is my old acquaintance, this object should be in his pawnshop, and he recognizes it as my close friend. She sent it back to me, that day, Qin Yan just took it for fun, I didn't give it to her."

He explained that her heart was filled with sweetness.

"Oh!"

"Embroidery!"

He suddenly called her so affectionately, and even the family members only called her Xiuyi. She couldn't adapt to it in an instant, so she just listened to him: "Do you have me in your heart?"

He called intimacy and asked directly.

How should Xu Xiuyi answer, whether to keep silent as a widow, or to give him a positive answer as a normal woman.

If Xu Xiuyi was not sure about her heart towards An Chengshao before, she is very clear today that she has this person in her heart.

Otherwise, you won't feel sorry for thinking that he is the male favorite of the Fifth Prince, nor will you feel unhappy because of a woman who kisses you with his behavior. Today, he will not let him kiss her.

After all, she is not a conservative woman in this old society, but an open-minded modern person, so after a little hesitation, she nodded.

An Chengshao stood up for a while, looking at the expression, as if his joy was broken, he came up and hugged Xu Xiuyi tightly into his arms: "Xiu'er."

His tone was very excited, as if Xu Xiuyi's nodding caused a thousand layers of waves in his heart.

Xu Xiuyi stretched out her hand and tentatively wrapped her around his waist. His embrace was very warm.

This chest, called her covetousness, she smiled slightly, closed her eyes, and leaned on it.

*

Today is a happy day for Xu Lanqing, but he is not even half happy in his heart. Although he tries his best to put on a smile, his smile is full of tiredness.

The one to be married today is the youngest daughter of the revisionist of the Hanlin Academy, Erba Fanghua. He has never seen anyone, but his father has seen him before. He came back and said that he was dignified and beautiful, with a slender appearance. Although his appearance was not as good as his sister's, he was comparable to him by three points.

To be able to have a woman who is three-pointed beautiful by his sister, in fact, in terms of appearance, it is already acceptable. After all, there are very few people in the world who want to find his sister, even those in the palace, who are inferior in front of his sister. point.

Maybe she didn't ask her sister to enter the palace draft, otherwise, with his sister's appearance, he would definitely be favored, but his sister's temperament, it is really difficult to survive in that intrigue.

Now this woman, in addition to being three-pointed better than her younger sister, is a matchmaker who is also good at painting, calligraphy, and chess, and is especially good at playing the piano.

After all, his wife in the mouth of the father and the matchmaker is not perfect, but also perfect.

The head of the family worked with his father again, and was his father's right-hand man, and his father looked at this family in the opposite direction.

What's more, this time, the five princes did not intervene again.

It stands to reason that everything is going well. Xu Lanqing has been a bachelor for all these years, and finally he can escape the claws of the five kings and marry a daughter-in-law smoothly.

The little servant Meichen has said several times in his ear to make him laugh happier, and the guests are watching, and he can only cheer up again and again.

The sedan chair arrived amid the sound of falling and beating drums. He did some etiquette things boringly according to the matchmaker's instructions, and then carried the bride into the wedding hall.

After three prostrations and three knees, the person in charge of the ceremony sang a promise: When the ceremony is completed, he is sent to the bridal chamber. Like a puppet at the mercy of others, he owes the bride to the bridal chamber.

It's really boring, the marriage he imagined, even if it's not a match, shouldn't be such a hasty affair.

It took only two months from the matchmaking to getting married. He knew that the family couldn't wait to marry him because he was really old, and the people of the same age next to him had been fathers for several years.

He also knows that there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and it is rare to have no descendants. It is rare that the five princes will not be the main trouble this time. He should not take the opportunity to hold the beautiful girl, give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible, and live a normal life. ordinary life.

However, he was already in the bridal chamber, and he still couldn't get the slightest interest.

He didn't even want to look at the woman with the red hijab. She was a tall woman, with a water snake waist, not too big or too small, with a happy red body, covered from head to tail, with a lovely figure. He thought of doing his best at night. As a husband, there is no expectation and passion.

Everything seems to be just proceeding step by step, like a labyrinth with a way out, and he is just walking along that road.

After sending the bride to the bridal chamber, he went out to accompany the drink. During the banquet, he saw Xu Xiuyi and An Chengshao whispering something, but he was more interested in going up to talk to the two, but the crowd of guests couldn't let him out. Fighting to drink with him, in the dimness, he saw that person, and his heart ached slightly.

He also came to drink, this time, he did not hinder his marriage, he fulfilled him.

Xu Lanqing heard that he has a new favorite, and he loves him so much that he is inseparable.

When he looked at him, he also turned his head to look at him, his eyes were so thin, he smiled and raised a glass to wish him from afar.

He was wrong, and the heartache was obvious, but he didn't know why. He raised his head and drank it. He began to refuse anyone who came, and he drank very fiercely. After a few tables, Xu Lanqing had already drunk and was unconscious. The old lady of the Xu family quickly He came out to joke and told everyone to let go of his precious grandson, saying that it was this spring night, and he couldn't sleep.

Everyone sold the face of the protector of the country, and they knew how difficult it was for Xu Lanqing to become a relative, so they stopped beating him. Everyone started to toast each other in a lively manner. Xu Lanqing was seventy percent drunk, and the old man asked Mei Chen to take him to the yard. Sober up, it's not good to delay the bridal chamber at night.

The moon on May [-]th was very round and bright, and it hung in the sky coldly. Meichen took Xu Lanqing into the yard. Seeing that he was about to vomit a few times when he was drunk, he quickly settled him in the pavilion and went to give it to him. Rinse with water.

Xu Lan's stomach was really uncomfortable, his head was dizzy, and there were many fragments of the past flashing in his mind.

In fact, the Xu family did not know that when the fifth prince blocked the gate of the Guogong's mansion, the Xu family panicked and sent him to the relatives in the countryside to avoid the fifth prince. In fact, the fifth prince also went to the country.

He kissed him in the endless wheat field. The fifth prince, who was half a head shorter than him, ordered him not to hide as a prince, and then stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips. The wind blew and the wheat waves burst. He was blushing at that time. He only felt that he had been greatly humiliated, but he said to him sadly.

"Lanqing, I don't know what kind of madness I have, but I just like you to the core."

These words gradually became clear in his ears, and Xu Lanqing had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and he had nowhere to vent. Perhaps he was annoyed at why he was so spineless that day, and he took the first kiss because of him.Maybe he was angry, why did he still remember those two soft lips with the fragrance of roses.

"Lan Qing."

It was his voice, neither Yin nor Yang, Xu Lanqing covered his ears with a headache.

"Don't call me."

There was a long silence in the air, and after a long time, the soft call sounded again: "Lan Qing."

This is not an auditory hallucination. Although Xu Lanqing can be drunk, people who practice martial arts are not so drunk that they can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south.

Raising his head, he saw that he was dressed in brocade clothes, standing in front of him, his face after drinking wine, a little red with powder puffs, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes, which made the already feminine face look like a woman, and it was even more glamorous.

Xu Lanqing staggered to his feet, instead of greeting him in the usual courtroom, he looked at the face with some pain: "Why didn't you stop it this time?"

Wu Mo smiled slightly, with a bitter smile: "After all, I shouldn't have delayed you, everyone said that you are like that, I know that in terms of your reputation, it is a great damage, you will have a scientific examination next year, and the future will be ... uh..."

This was a kiss that vented his anger. Xu Lanqing didn't know what was going on in his madness, but what kept repeating in his mind was his soft lips with the scent of roses in the endless golden wheat fields.

Wu Mo was dumbfounded, his eyes were red, and tears fell. He reached out and hugged Xu Lanqing gently, staggered his lips, and whispered in his ear: "Lanqing, I'm actually a woman."

Xu Lanqing was startled.

Wu Mo had already left his embrace: "Young Master Cheng said, if I really like you, I will make it clear to you, but even if I make it clear, I will still be the fifth prince all my life, you will still be Xu Lanqing, Lanqing, this time, I really decided to let you go."

Tears slid down her cheeks, her voice was no longer the yin and yang tone, such a soft and melodious female voice, like an oriole bird.

Xu Lan's wine woke up.

"you……"

"Promise me, don't tell me about it, or my mother and uncle's family will suffer the consequences. I only told you and Cheng Shao to outsiders. I believe in your character, Lanqing, and I bless you."

She wiped away her tears and brought up a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth. What a beautiful face, even without makeup, it is enough to eclipse the most beautiful flowers in the world.

Xu Lanqing actually knew a long time ago that the Fifth Prince is very beautiful.

It was only now that he realized that she was as beautiful as a woman's face, and she was really a beauty.

Wu Mo has turned around. From the day she was born, she was destined to not be able to have love. Without her, her mother and uncle would all die. It was her birth that saved and prospered the entire family.

Although Emperor Xiaowen has passed away, the exposure of her identity is still the crime of deceiving the king and destroying the family.

Even if she once saved the emperor, even if she almost lost her life trying to save the emperor, what if there is an extremely ugly scar on her left arm.

She is destined to be alone forever.

Xu Lanqing watched her leave, and her back disappeared into the night. He suddenly chased after him like crazy, but bumped into the oncoming Meichen, and slammed Meichen's feet into the sky, and the warm water in Meichen's hand also It was all sprinkled on his face, causing him to get water all over his face, and he was very embarrassed.

But he ignored her and went in the direction where she disappeared. Mei Chen thought he was drunk and was afraid of making jokes in front of the guests, so he hurriedly hugged him from behind: "Master, what are you doing, Master, Lord, how much have you drunk, how can you be so drunk?"

"open."

he snapped.

How could Meichen let go? He was more and more certain that he was drunk and went mad, because Xu Lanqing was usually very gentle to his servants. Meichen had followed him for many years, and he had never heard a heavy word in his mouth. But he was murdered today, so he thought that Xu Lanqing was drinking and didn't even know what to do, and he didn't dare to let go.

Xu Lanqing was very annoyed, watching Wu Mo lead the servant away from the gate without looking back.

After coming out of Xu's house, Wu Mo did not allow the servant to follow, saying that he wanted to walk by himself, and turned around and turned into an alley, with tears streaming down his face.

If it wasn't for Xu Lanqing being said that way outside, she would only want to play tricks on Xu Lanqing for the rest of her life.

But in the end she was distressed.

Others say that Xu Lanqing is not filial, saying that he will not give the Xu family a daughter to inherit the incense.

Others also say that Xu Lanqing is really a broken sleeve, otherwise Xu Lanqing can have a baby with a maid even if he can't marry a young lady.

Even worse, Xu Lanqing didn't marry for these years, but it was actually because of his health condition that he couldn't do things between men and women, so the marriage was delayed again and again, but it created the illusion that the five princes were interfering with it.

She couldn't give it to him, and she never allowed other women to give it to her. This time, she finally decided to step back.

Because she really loves him to the core.
