box of hearts

Chapter 84
This is said softly and hard, very spicy.There were still a few maids with incense and blankets in the room, Die Xian felt that her face couldn't hold back even more, she immediately sneered twice, pushed the table and stood up, turned her head and bumped into a little maid, and slapped her on the face, "I'm blind and stuck here." The servant girl didn't dare to cry, and walked away sullenly with the two clothes in her arms.Die Xian tilted her body and lay down on the bed without taking off her shoes.

Seeing this, Cao Zhimu raised his hand, waited for the maids to leave, and came to the bed to sit next to Die Xian, "I'm just telling the truth, I didn't say a word about you, why are you getting angry?" ?”

But no matter what he tried to persuade him next, Die Xian ignored him as if he hadn't heard it.Cao Zhimu had no choice but to push her on the back, "I've said all the good things, but you always keep silent, what do I do? You just say a word, no matter what you say, I never disagree with your reason."

Diexian sat up with a "chuckle", and a flying phoenix hairpin tied with pearls on Lingxu's bun raised its head and raised its wings proudly, "Hmph, although I, Duan Diexian, have never been on the "Pearl Pearl Immortal List", but It is also a well-known name in Huaihua Hutong. If you don’t believe me, just go out and ask, how many of the guests I have made over the years have tried their best to beg me to marry me, and are there any of them who I opened my mouth to say Want to marry? Let me tell you something, Mr. Cao, don't take it too seriously. Although your family background is good, in terms of wealth and power, you are not very remarkable in this capital. I have a crush on you, so I just want to I want to marry you, but you don't appreciate it, and I don't want to force others. Since we all have the same temperament as a shepherd, who are you different? I don't have the ability to keep the son, you just have to marry your mother. For the sake of saving money, go find another job.”

Cao Zhimu has a pair of handsome eyes with a square in the middle, but there are some familiar eyes with a round in the square.He thought for a while, and then laughed out easily, "What I said earlier was also for you, think about it carefully, you are a lively person, and you don't say anything else, but this drama is very addictive, You have to go out to watch the theater every few days. Once you are married, how can you have such freedom? You always have to stay at home and follow many good family rules in vain. If you can’t advance or retreat at that time, and blame me in your heart, wouldn’t it be good for me Becoming evil has delayed your whole life? So I put the ugly words up front to make you plan clearly, this is not for fun. "

As soon as Cao Zhimu mentioned the word "opera", Diexian thought of one opera after another who was unclear with him, and felt guilty, and his tone became more rigid, "Your words are so strange, Beijing likes to watch operas I’m not the only one, even the wives of the officials love to listen to Kunqu Opera. The eldest lady of Mrs. Cifu Wang is a well-known theater fan. Aren’t they all good women? Now I go to the theater more often , It's just a pastime for business accidents. When I marry a good man in the future, I know that I should abide by the family rules. I want to go to the theater, but I invite my husband to call a team to the house. I won't even be the person I marry in the future. Can't you afford it at the hall?"

Cao Zhimu laughed again, "You like it, don't talk about hall meetings, even if you buy a troupe of operas at home and keep them there, there's nothing you can't do. Don't get me wrong, we've been inseparable for half a year. It's like a husband and wife. What can't be discussed? Although my words are not pleasant, I just want you to think clearly for yourself so as not to regret it in the future. As long as you make up your mind to marry me, I will be happy before it's too late, so there is no reason to refuse of?"

Hearing this, Die Xian Fang felt happy, but still acted resolutely, "I don't dare to be praised by Mr. Meng, and I don't have that blessing."

Cao Zhimu smiled and put her pointed chin in one hand, "Okay, don't lose your temper. I thought, your redemption money will not come down if you don't have ten thousand and eight thousand dollars. Because I am by the guest, I brought I have spent a long time on my money, not enough money, I can’t handle it. Coincidentally, I have a boat coming next month, and I still have [-] to [-] in the account. I will formally talk to your mother at that time, and I will help you in the next few days. Let's do the dowry. After dinner, let's go to the silver building next door. Didn't you say you wanted an emerald ring the day before yesterday? I'll buy it for you. In addition, I will ask someone to book a box in the Huale Building, a Suzhou and Zhejiang hall For the food in the restaurant, I will take you to listen to Kunqu opera first, and then take you to dinner, it's just a celebration of our engagement, okay?"

Only then did Die Xian change her color, cast her eyes tenderly, "Idiot, why wait until night to celebrate the engagement?" The amorous look in his eyes was the spring breeze mixed with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and there were big bouquets of light bouquets. With willow catkins on it, it pounces on people head-on and face-to-face.

Cao Zhimu's eyes were turned straight, and he couldn't help posting it.Die Xian hummed in a low voice, and fell backwards.

6.
The screen window was half closed, the green tent was slanted, and Wu Shan suddenly woke up from his dream.Cao Zhimu and Diexian got up and got out of bed affectionately, adjusted their clothes, you fed me, I fed you the rest of the lunch, and went to the jewelry store hand in hand.When passing by the East Flower Hall, there were only a few figures, it was Sun Xiaocai, Sun Xiaocai, who was Sun Xiaocai's benefactor of Duixia, who was there to invite guests and set up cards. A few guests had already arrived in twos and threes, and Duixia was asking someone to hold a game ticket and ask everyone who they were called. Names, write them down one by one.Diexian saw her from under the eaves of the corridor, they both nodded and smiled.

The weather in mid-May is already very hot. Although the flower hall is ventilated, it is still hot in the afternoon.Especially after two or three minutes, the guests and the invited ladies came to the scene one after another, and the more people there were, the more boring it was, and many of the ladies showed their beauty.On the one hand, Duixia ordered the servant girl to carry the basin, towel, and mirror case for makeup and powder, and at the same time ordered to adjust the ice and snow lotus root, and sink Li Fugua.

Seeing that Dui Xia was too busy, Sun Xiaocai asked a friend to play a few rounds on his behalf. Then he got off the poker table and slipped to Dui Xia's side, and blew a long breath of cool air down her neck, "I didn't expect that." It's so hot today, you are fat and timid, don't greet yourself, just sit down and rest."

"Where will it be?" Duixia guarded a small table, holding a long-handled porcelain spoon in her hand, and filled bowls of ice water tremella and mung bean soup, and the maid served them to everyone.The gauze on her body is also light white and pea green, the material is extremely thin, revealing a full body, but there is such a small and delicate face, and she is panting slightly with sweat dripping, "put it on someone else's face." Forget it, I'll just sit and enjoy the blessings. You're the host today, if I'm not diligent, acquaintances will know that I'm afraid of heat, won't strangers say that I'm lazy and unwilling to socialize, which offends your face?"

Sun Xiaocai thought that he had coldly rejected the marriage proposal with Xiangxia just now, but she was still so caring, he couldn't help feeling ashamed, and couldn't say anything.

"Girl, you see, Master Sun is sweating so much, why don't you have a bowl of ice water first." Lan Rui, a maidservant on the side, had a charming smile on her face. An ice bowl, she took one of them and offered it, along with a little light in her eyes, like the coolness of crushed ice in the bowl.

Dui Xia's eyes also lit up, and he cast his own eyes towards Lan Rui, took the bowl and brought it to Sun Xiaocai's mouth, "Yeah, you are still talking about me, I think you are working harder, not only have to be busy Treat friends, but also miss me. Take a few sips of this to relieve the heat."

Sun Xiaocai took the bowl with a smile and drank it all in one gulp.

Dui Xia stared at him without missing a beat, then took out the pink handkerchief that had been stained with tears just at noon, and wiped off the soup on Sun Xiaocai's beard, "I drank it all over my mouth. So-so." She smiled softly, and pushed him softly, "Go back to play cards, it's been so many years, and it's not a new relationship, it's so boring that it makes people laugh."

Sun Xiaocai pinched Duixia's arm affectionately, then turned and left.

The guests were thirsty and hot, and after seeing the iced drinks, herbal tea, and fresh fruits, they all felt refreshed and praised Xiangxia's ability.

"Old Sun, I didn't say that, among all the ladies and gentlemen you have made, you are the only one who knows how to love Miss Xia the most."

"Not bad, not bad. In terms of folk art and singing voice, I'm afraid Dui Xia won't be at the top, but in terms of meekness and satisfaction, she will be number two. No one dares to be number one."

"Hey, do you still remember the old lady named Xizhu here? At that time, everyone was holding it, and they only said how good it was. It just so happened that I arrived in Beijing that day, and Lady Dai Yan took the wind for me. Xia is there. I thought to myself at the time, what’s so good about Xizhu? It’s full of autumn atmosphere when socializing! How can it be better than the spring breeze called Duixia?"

"Hey, do you mean that you are going to cut off the sides of Mr. Sun?"

"Haha, for a slip of the tongue, replace the wine with water, and punish yourself with a glass."

……

Amidst all the praises in his ears, Xiangxia was not self-effacing, but Sun Xiaocai was very happy, he smiled and stroked his beard and stomach, but his hand stopped suddenly on his stomach, and he let out an "ouch".But the other side was still laughing non-stop, "What's the matter, Mr. Sun? Could it be because we only praised Miss Xia but not you, are you flatulent?"

Sun Xiaocai smiled wryly and shook his hands, "As expected, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I may have eaten cold food in a hurry. It's not a problem. Come on, wipe the card." Just pushed the card, "Ouch" again, stomach He also screamed loudly.Dui Xia changed his face at the side, leaned over and asked him, "What's the matter, but it hurts so much? Do you want to go back and rest?"
