Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 649 Summer Day, Winter Night

The sounds of beating people outside, Chen Junwei's begging for mercy, and Chu Zijin's shouts came one after another outside the door.

Qingluo simply took the book and leaned over the bed to read it.

Out of sight out of mind.

I don't know how long it took, but there was silence outside the door.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to put down the book, the knock on the door rang again.

"If you make trouble again, I will be rude to you!" Qingluo thought it was still Chu Zijin, and said angrily, "Go back and get married! I don't want to see you!"

The knocking on the door stopped suddenly.

Then Cai He's weak voice sounded: "Miss..."

It turned out to be Caihe.

Qing Luo patted her head, hurriedly got up to open the door, and then froze.

Standing at the door was Lin Jinyu.

As for Caihe, he poked his head behind him, saw Qingluo coming out, stuck out his tongue, and ran away.

"You..." Qingluo scratched her cheek, "Shizi Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Jinyu was still wearing a purple official robe, a feather crown on her head, and a jade sachet around her body. Compared with the usual light and simple, she looked luxurious and elegant.

He looked at Qing Luo with starry eyes, and said slowly: "Who do you want me to marry?"

Thinking of what she said before, Qingluo smiled wryly: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't tell you. It's Miss Chu from your family who is making a fuss. If something happens to her, I can't afford it."

Lin Jinyu nodded: "I will let people watch her when I go back."

"Thank you then."

After Qing Luo finished speaking, the two fell into silence again.

When did they become so polite and alienated?
"you……"

"I have something I..."

The two spoke at the same time.

Qingluo stopped awkwardly: "You talk first."

"Okay." Lin Jinyu was not polite, and said directly, "I have something to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

Lin Jinyu looked at her: "Aren't you going to invite me in?"

"Oh..." Qingluo came to her senses, and hurriedly stepped aside: "Please come in."

Lin Jinyu walked into the room, raised her eyes to look around the furnishings in the room, and then her eyes fell on a book beside the bed.

The edges of the book were a little curled up, and it was carefully wrapped in silk, revealing a section of the bookmark.Apparently the owner of the book often reads the book in his hand.

"I remember when I gave it to you, this book was still new." He walked over, bent over to pick up the book, opened it, and revealed the bookmark inside.

The bookmark is very plain, with a line of words written on it with a thin brush pen: summer days, winter nights, after a hundred years, return to its home.

He looked up: "What does this mean?"

Embarrassed, Qingluo stepped forward to snatch the bookmark and tore it into pieces: "It's just a random write-up. I don't know if Shizi has anything to discuss with me?"

Lin Jinyu looked at the fragments that fell on the ground, was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty is very concerned about the affairs between the Chen family and the royal family in Northern Qi. She knows that you are the elder of the Chen family, and wants you to keep in touch with them. Get the news back in time."

Qing Luo: "Why didn't Your Majesty tell me this in person?"

"Don't quarrel with Your Majesty. Although she dotes on you now, it doesn't mean anything. You need to know that your heart is unpredictable." Lin Jinyu said sincerely.

"I don't have the guts to argue with His Majesty. If you don't tell me about this matter, I will pay attention to it. After all, this is the plan of Liang Sheng and me. As for how much I can tell Your Majesty, it is entirely up to me." Qing Luo Seriously.

Lin Jinyu: "Although you are an elder of the Chen family, Your Majesty still hopes that your heart belongs to Da Zhou, and don't lose her trust easily."

Qingluo looked up at him, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, where does my heart belong, and I won't be controlled by anyone."

"I just... hope you can at least act more in favor of His Majesty. After all, it's good for you."

"I understand, thank you for your advice."

"En." Lin Jinyu nodded, tapping the table lightly with one hand, her slender and white fingers were well-knitted, without the roughness of ordinary martial arts practitioners at all.

After a while, he said again: "As for the taxes requested by His Majesty, you don't have to worry too much."

"I'm not worried." Qing Luo's words were not modest.

With her current financial resources, it is more than enough to hand over half of Pingyang County's taxes.No matter how bad it is, there is still a token from Mei Luochen, which can be used to withdraw money for emergency.

But that is her private property and has nothing to do with public affairs.

She will not pay for it herself, but intends to really increase the money in the pockets of the people in Pingyang County, so that the taxes she collects will naturally increase.

"I know you have a solution." Lin Jinyu said, "I've finished my business, what did you want to say just now?"

Qingluo thought for a while, she seemed to have something to say just now, but now she has nothing to say, so she shook her head: "I can't remember, let's talk about it later."

Lin Jinyu stood up: "Okay, then I will leave first. Be careful on the road."

Seeing him turn and leave, Qingluo suddenly asked, "Have Sister Mei Qi and Xiao Jiu come back?"

"Not yet, but Seventh Sister sent a message back, saying that she has found Xiao Jiu and has something to deal with, and she will bring Xiao Jiu back after a while."

"Oh..." Qingluo nodded, "I'm leaving now, I don't have time to see Brother Wuye, please help me say goodbye to him."

"Wuye is waiting outside, I will let him come to see you."

Lin Jinyu left after speaking.

There is no nostalgia at all, everything is business-like, and the appearance of not wanting to leave after coming here is like a world of difference.

Qingluo squatted down, picked up the torn bookmark, put it on the table, and slowly put it together.

"What is Niuniu doing?" Wuye walked in, sat opposite her, and looked at her curiously.

Qingluo put the fragments into the book, looked up, and the smile was restored on her face: "Brother Wuye, I accidentally broke the bookmark, it's nothing."

"Bookmarks? Why do you keep them when they're broken? I'll buy some for you. What style do you like?"

"No, I still have a lot at home." Qingluo poured a cup of tea for him, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty said that I will not be allowed to come to the capital for two months, but we won't see each other for a while!"

"I can go and see you, silly girl." Wuye drank his tea and looked around, "I'm hungry, why don't you even have a snack?"

Qingluo smiled: "Except for you, no one else came to my place to find food. I asked Caihe to go to the kitchen to order."

"Hey," Wu Ye smiled, "I know you like dim sum the most, so the ones here must be delicious."

"Just wait, I don't know where Caihe has gone..." Qingluo stood up and wanted to leave.

Wuye was strange: "Huh? You finished all the dim sum that Er Ye went back to buy on purpose last time?"

"What?" Qingluo stopped walking.

"Second Master bought you snacks." Wuye was a little surprised, "Did Second Master not give it to you?"

"When?"

"I was at the restaurant on the border that day. When we set off, didn't the second master ride away for a while?" Wuye said with a smile, "He went back to Bian'an City to buy dim sum. He said before that he would let you eat all the dim sum in the world, so Everywhere I go, I look for the most famous local food.”
