Chapter 265 Looking at My Hometown (9)
Then this marriage had to be abandoned, and afterward Yingzhi was recited, Qingtian explained the reason briefly to Qi She, "I'm sorry to be too busy, I'm a idiot who refuses to marry. "

After hearing this, Qi She was silent for a while, feeling no pity, "I just said you are a poor man, who would think this little girl is worse."

It was raining, and the two of them were sitting idle in a pavilion on a stone-stacked hill in the garden.Outside the pavilion, there are plantains, green bamboos, and old plums, all of which are half-hidden and half-covered. After wisps of fine mist, the mist gushes out from the rocks, and through the rain curtains, it supports the attic like a suspension in mid-air.The window in the front of the pavilion was wide open, and under the window was a small round table with foreign lacquer. On the table was a bowl of ice-cold lotus seeds. Qingtian peeled off the lotus seeds one by one, put them in his mouth and chewed them carefully.

"Fortunately, Yingzhi can think about it herself. She likes the way she is now. She said that she will be fine all her life, and a woman will only suffer endlessly when she gets married."

Qi She occasionally picked a grain, but ate it whole, leaving a faint bitter fragrance between his teeth, "What about you?"

"what?"

"Women suffer when they get married, are you suffering?"

"Me?" Qingtian raised her face, she wore a loose makeup on her head, and only wore a green emerald hair. She put some rouge on her cheeks and eyelids, and smiled watery in her black eyes, " Ever since I followed the third grandpa, I laughed even when I was awake, and I laughed when I was dreaming. Life is just like this——" She picked up the tender green lotus heart with her fingernails and threw the lotus seeds into her mouth, "I don't know bitterness at all. What's it like."

Qi She laughed and lowered his eyes thoughtfully. He held a black-bone gold-leaf folding fan in his hand, and brushed his fingers over the fan bones, "You said back then, I wish I was just an ordinary person. Qingtian, If I were really just an ordinary person, fishing and selling vegetables, would you be happier than now?"

Qingtian immediately opened his eyes wide, "Fishing and selling vegetables? You hunt whales and sell golden vegetables, can you afford me, my aunt?"

This time Qi She laughed loudly, and knocked on the top of Qingtian's head as soon as the fan was closed, "You must live in the eyes of money, and never come out for the rest of your life."

Qingtian grinned, "If you want me to say, you can be safe if you are a little rich. Now this ostentation that is unique in the world is unnecessary. You just want to be a leisurely squire, and your family does not need to be rich. You can live comfortably It would be good if you don’t have to suffer toil and toil.”

Qi She also raised her chin with a smile, "Yo, I'm pretty sure I'll assign it to you, 'Leisure Squire'? It seems that you have posted this daydream before, let me explain it in detail."

"Since it's a daydream, if you have something to say, it's useless to say it."

"It's useless to say it, so I have to say it. If I don't say anything else, wouldn't it be over if I just do it?"

She pursed her lips and said happily, "I won't say anything, life is already good enough, if you say anything more, you will be unsatisfied, even if you listen to it, you will feel chilled."

Qi She threw the fan in her hand, leaned forward with her upper body, put her shoulders between her shoulders, and smiled all over her face, "I want to be a god after becoming an emperor, and I want to be a god when I am a god. The human heart is like a mountain looking at another mountain, you are the same, and I am the same. Besides, I don’t know you. You have never been the woman who waits to talk about things. It’s not like you don’t know me. Man? But listen to you, I’ll follow you in your dreams too, just for fun. Tell me, what are you shy about? Tell me, tell me, my little girl, you see, I’m already having sex with you, so you just Say it!"

Qingtian "puchi" laughed so hard that he lay down on the table, "Come on, I can't stand you, you black bearded flirt with me."

"Then just say it."

"Let me tell you," she tilted her head, and simply pillowed her arm, so that the corners of her eyes flew slantingly upwards, and flew out of the white clouds several times, "I said, you don't have these shackles of identity, you are just a Wealthy and idle people, you can be generous with me as a secular couple, two people in a car, go and stop when you want, travel all over the world, choose a water town in the south of the Yangtze River to spend your old age in peace. Lost teeth, every day because you want to buy the most popular shepherd on the Qinhuai River home and make him a concubine, that is the best chance in life!"

Qi She clenched her fists against the tip of her nose, and smiled, "Let's put aside the joke, do you really want to go back to Jiangnan?"

"Yes, although I can't remember where my home is in Suzhou, I always remember the small river and the bridges in front of my house. At that time, my father often led me to cross this bridge to the other side, and then cross that bridge. When I came back, as soon as I was tired, my dad immediately picked me up, and I sat on his arm, stretching my hand to wipe the railing of the bridge. I can still see the row of little people carved on it. I can dream it. In the dream, even my father’s appearance is very clear. I can’t remember anything when I wake up. But I think, if I can see that place again with my own eyes, I will probably recognize it. I want to go back and find When I look for it, I want to know who I am. You have to stay with me, and when I cry, I can turn around and lean in your arms."

"anything else?"

"Also, I hope that the baby in my stomach will be white and fat, and it will suck like a little robber. I don't want a nanny, I will feed him myself, even if I can't sleep all the time, I won't let him eat others We will love him well and teach him to grow up, and if it is a boy, we will leave him a decent family property, and if it is a girl, we will give her a decent dowry. On the wedding day , I want to sit with you in the hall to receive the gift of the newcomer, oh, and I have to wear a bright red pleated skirt." Qingtian giggled, put his face into the palms of his hands, "Oh, that's true When I say it out of shame, I feel shameless when I hear it.”

Qi She didn't understand why there was no shame in Qingtian. It is true that bright red was the color of a newlywed, the color of a regular wife, and a color that lowly people should never overstep, but he had never seen a second color. This woman can wear bright red more brightly and gratifyingly than Qingtian.His heart and lungs seemed to be pierced with a sharp weapon, but his smile was more heartless than ever, "Tsk, you are so thin-skinned, my lord is still talking about you having two twin sisters, you Have you ever blushed?"

"Go!" Qingtian patted his shoulder with his hand, and covered his cheeks with the other hand. The old red cheeks were filled with new beauty, which was smudged layer by layer, making her look like a reflection in the water, a mirror. flying flowers.

Qi She looked at her, handed her hand over to hold her hand, and gradually suppressed his smile, "Qingtian, if you take a good look out of the window again, the clouds are steaming and the sky is lingering, as if you are in the nine heavens. But here It’s not Jiutian. This is the Heqi Pavilion in Beifu. There are calamine stones buried in the rockery under the attic, which produces smoke when it rains. Through the smoke, you can still faintly see the crystal warm hall and the three-story theater on the other side. And I believe that even if you close your eyes, you can still see the thousands of famous plants, hundreds of rare birds, the dragon liver and phoenix marrow on your daily dining table, and the rare things on the dressing table. Treasure...all the things you take for granted are not something you can do with a little wealth. Are you really willing to give up the clothes that are as precious as gold on your body now, and exchange them for a plain red dress?"

Qingtian raised his eyelids and stared at the raindrops and mist outside the pavilion for a moment, then looked back at Qishe, thinking of himself, "'A ten thousand hectares of fertile land rises in a solar eclipse, and a thousand-foot mansion sleeps seven feet at night.' I just said it , what I want in life is that I don’t have to worry about food, clothing, and housing. I have some spare money in my hand, and I can be with my family in harmony. The most mundane world of fireworks is my fairy life. Why do I need this castle in the sky piled up with thousands of gold ?”

"Is this your truth? I'm asking you seriously. Don't lie to me."

"You ask me seriously, and I will answer you honestly. Since ancient times, you can't have both, and in my opinion, nothing is more precious than the peace of mind. Don't think that I love luxury because I love luxury. Let’s put it this way, two people squeezed together in a small quilt on that winter night was warmer than a single person’s eight-foot bed with a brocade quilt. Last year, your old man got a new love and left me alone Leaving it here, I still eat dozens of big dishes every day, sleep in hundreds of rooms, and wear jewelry all over my body. How do you feel about me? ——The table is full of delicacies, which only makes me want to vomit. Another large courtyard, but I only need the smallest corner to hide, and those jewels, oh, I feel like a starving person every time I touch them, but there is only gold at hand, in piles Heaps of gold that can't be chewed or swallowed. Wang Tinggui's land is good, but for me, I can only answer the phrase 'Qi Dafei'." She squinted, her eyes were full of old grievances and smiled, "If you take off this Wearing a fine attire, you can be worthy of your husband and wife, and go hand in hand to have children, safe and loving life, you will see me take off my clothes faster than the master in front of the 15-year-old girl's bed!"

The ice bowl between them was shaken slightly, the ice cubes were crisp, the lotus seeds were fragrant, and Qi She's hearty laugh was heartwarming and sweet, "Well, I owe it to you, it must have attracted you again." Turn over this old account."

Qingtian puffed up his cheeks as if drooling, and held back his smile slightly, "Oh, what's the use of saying this? You were born in an emperor's family, so you are destined not to have the fate of ordinary people. I'm just thankful for your willingness to put in this effort. , come and listen to my whimsical words."

Qi She shook her painting fan light shirt, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Don't, don't thank me, I thank you, can we not mention 'that matter' in the future? Touch it, my old face is hot of."

"Why can't you mention it? Why don't people mention what you do yourself? It's fine if you don't mention it. Take the 3000 taels of silver to seal it. I won't mention it this year."

"You've opened your mouth like a lion. It's only three thousand a year. How much will you earn in a lifetime?"
