Linglong

Chapter 90

After nightfall, Linglong didn't go to bed early as usual, she half-lyed on the bed, and took a book to read leisurely.

"Miss San, are you still asleep?" Tang Xiaoming walked in with a embarrassed expression.

Linglong raised her head, with a half-smile, "He's here?" Tang Xiaoming blushed and nodded, vaguely agreeing.

Linglong put down the book, lifted the thin quilt on her body, and got out of bed.

The clothes on her body are still well dressed, with a slanted collar and large sleeves, and a floor-length skirt. The color is as light green as a young tree bud, as elegant and pleasant as a pool of spring water.

She was still wearing clogs, and the sound of her walking was very crisp.

The skirt was very long, covering her slender and tender feet.

King Zhou stood outside with his hands behind his back, admiring a picture of a beauty on the wall, when he heard footsteps, the corners of his lips curled up happily, and he turned his head.

"I'm going to move in with my parents tomorrow." Linglong said with a stern face, "My mother wanted me to move in today, but I picked a lot of problems, such as the color of the wallpaper that I don't like, what's wrong with it?" The felt is too thick, and the big bed I'm used to sleeping in is very troublesome to disassemble, I'm afraid it won't be done in a day... I was playing childish temper and cheating, and I tried my best to delay it for a day."

Although Linglong has a serious face, King Zhou is in a good mood, with a slight smile in Taohua's eyes, narrowed into two curved crescents, sweet and charming, very ecstatic, "Little Bell, you know I want to come, stay here and wait for me, right?"

The usual cold and arrogant handsome face, with frost and snow on it, suddenly softened its lines, making it bright and clear, as bright as spring.

Linglong curled her lips, "Who specially stayed here to wait for you? I'm a lazy person, I just want to calm things down, and I don't want unrelated people waiting to provoke trouble at my house, understand?

Peace, Wang Xiaosan, what I hope is peace!Who stayed here to wait for you?Beautiful you.

She is still young and has not yet fully developed, so she cannot be called a beautiful beauty.But her lips are the pink color unique to girls, as delicate as petals. When she speaks, her lips open and close, cute and seductive.

King Zhou couldn't help lowering his head, wanting to kiss her lips.

"Hey, what are you going to do?" Linglong widened her eyes, "Be more respectful!"

Her eyes are wide open, clear and bright, free from the slightest scum of the world, pure and bright like a baby.King Zhou suddenly felt ashamed, and said softly: "Little Lingdang, I don't want to do anything, there is dust on your face, I'll wipe it off for you, okay?" He stretched out his sleeve and wiped it carefully on Linglong's cheek. wipe.

His movements were as soft and smooth as the fabric of his clothes.

Linglong giggled, "Wang Xiaosan, you are leaving tomorrow, right? If you dare not return to Beijing, your father will never forgive you."

King Zhou smiled slightly, "Little Lingdang is really a smart kid, what he said is right."

If he didn't return to the capital to celebrate the emperor's 45-year-old "full life", the emperor might jump up with anger.

"So, my parents want me to definitely move there tomorrow, but it's really useless." Linglong grimaced, "You've already left tomorrow, I'm safe!"

Wang Xiaosan is gone, why should I move?Besides you, who else would come to my room in the middle of the night.

"No, it's safer for you to move there and live with your parents." King Zhou smiled.

"Wang Xiaosan, you..." Linglong huffed.

You're gone, you won't come to harass me in the middle of the night, just want me to move to live under the eyes of my parents?Selfish, selfish, boring and shameless!
King Zhou's smile became even more cheerful, "I'm going back late, my father and mother will definitely ask me to stay longer before letting me go back. I don't know how long it will take when we meet again." Thinking of the time when he was not around Little Bell will be watched by her parents, and she will be very satisfied and happy.

Linglong angrily walked to the table and sat down, took the teapot, and poured herself a cup of tea.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Linglong sighed contentedly, her complexion improved a lot.

"Little Lingdang, this is not how you treat guests." Zhou Wang Shi Shiran walked up to her and sat down opposite her, with a smile in his eyes, "Guests also want to drink tea."

"Are you considered a guest?" Linglong asked bluntly: "Are there any guests who come in from the roof? The guests all come in through the gate, and those who come in from the roof are at most..."

Speaking of this, Linglong felt that something was wrong, rolled her eyes, stopped, and stopped talking.

"What is it?" Zhou Wang reached out and took the teacup from her hand, raised it to his lips and took a sip, and asked with a smile.

This set of his movements is so natural, like flowing clouds and flowing water, Linglong couldn't help but admire, "Wang Xiaosan is really different, when he grabs other people's things, he is justified and takes it as normal."

"Thief." Linglong said with a smile as she rolled her eyes.

If it wasn't a thief who came in through the roof, what could it be?

"A thief?" Zhou Wang played with the teacup in his hand, "I can't bear the reputation of a thief for nothing. Little Lingdang, I will steal you away. You will live in the palace tonight and leave early tomorrow morning. I'll go to Beijing together. Don't worry, little Lingdang, I'm a very generous person. When I arrive in the capital, I'll show you around and play around Jinling City."

His tone was indifferent, his eyes were deep, like a pool of deep water that could not see the bottom, Linglong felt that something was wrong, so she felt a little bit in her heart.

He is lawless, if he really abducted me late at night, wouldn't I be very unlucky?No no no, definitely not.

"Third brother, although I can't walk with you all the way, my heart is with you!" Linglong put on a flattering smile, "Although I can't go to Jinling with you, I can..."

She originally wanted to say that I could write to you and accompany you in another way, but when she thought of Mrs. Qiao's words and Uncle Yu's grandfather, she stopped blankly and wrinkled her face.

"What's wrong?" King Zhou looked at her intently, his voice was soft, "I find it strange that you suddenly stopped writing to me. Little Bell, what happened?"

Linglong's face was full of annoyance, "I don't want to do this either, but... oh, Wang Xiaosan, why do you have someone who likes to kill..." She thought quickly, "What kind of feelings does Wang Xiaosan have for his grandfather?" ?Will it be admiration? Forget it, just to be on the safe side, I'd better not tell the truth first."

"It's okay, it's okay." Linglong smiled, and said to him from left to right, "Wang Xiaosan, you will be very fast on the road, but don't be too impatient, you know? Don't rush at night, galloping at night is very dangerous Bring a few more spare horses and ride them differently on the road; I would rather be a few days late, anyway, His Majesty is your real father, and he will not really punish you..."

Zhou Wang looked at her quietly, Linglong was embarrassed, took another teacup and poured tea, "Well, please drink tea, please drink tea."

King Zhou pressed Linglong's hand, Linglong was embarrassed and lowered her head.

His fingers are long and strong, and his palm is two sizes larger than Linglong's. The big hand covers the small hand, which is graceful and warm.

"Wang Xiaosan is quite likable when he's not aggressive." Linglong's heart was pounding.

Zhou Wang said in a deep voice: "I have never met my grandfather. Not only me, but also my second brother, let alone my two younger sisters. They were born in Kunning Palace like me. At that time, my father had already ascended the throne. My grandfather has passed away long ago. Little Lingdang, among the five of us, only the elder brother has met his grandfather—he was not even a year old at that time."

Linglong looked up at him, her eyes were a little dazed.

King Zhou smiled slightly, looking at Linglong with pampering eyes, and his voice was even more gentle, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, "Little Lingdang, what my grandfather did can't be blamed on me, right? He When I died, I was not there."

"That's true." Linglong nodded involuntarily.

That's right, whether Emperor Taizu was cruel or bloodthirsty, what does it have to do with Wang Xiaosan?When Emperor Taizu died, there was no Wang Xiaosan, and Wang Xiaosan was not brought up by Emperor Taizu, so he was not under his bad influence.

"Why didn't you write to me all of a sudden?" King Zhou asked softly.

Linglong's hand was still held by him, her thoughts were a little confused, and she stuttered.Tell him incoherently, "I... my grandmother has never been in touch with her natal family. I am so stupid that I even noticed it. I only found out recently that my grandmother's father was my great-grandfather, and my grandfather My father, that is, my great-grandfather, was a classmate and good friend, and also a well-known Confucian scholar in this city. When the country was founded, they were confiscated to the capital together. My great-grandfather was indifferent, lazy like me. I came back in a few months; my grandmother's father, my great-grandfather, stayed in the court as an official, and finally..."

She lowered her head sadly.

"So that's how it is." King Zhou said in a low voice.

His voice was soft, as if he was afraid of scaring someone.

The candlelight is flickering, and the smoke with a faint fragrance is curling up from the bronze tripod incense burner on the black rosewood table in the corner.Linglong bowed her head and said nothing, King Zhou was in a trance, and accidentally saw the touching whiteness between Linglong's ears and neck, his eyes softened, and he squeezed Linglong's little hand, "Tell me the name of your great-grandfather, I will find a way of."

Linglong raised her head, her face a little shy, "Wang Xiaosan, I don't know his name..."

Mrs. Yu's natal family has never appeared in her life, and she doesn't know the name of her great-grandfather.

"Confused little bell." Zhou Wang chuckled.

Linglong also smiled embarrassedly.

"Little Lingdang, pour me another cup of tea." King Zhou drank a cup of tea, felt that it was not enough, and asked for another cup.

"Drink tea at night, you won't be able to sleep." Linglong complained, and poured him another cup.

Cheng Ying stuck to the roof to listen to the sound, and the corners of his mouth twitched.Your Highness King Zhou, why would you drink other people's tea?It's a good time now, and they all ask for it themselves.

A faint light came from afar.

Chengying laughed silently, floated down to the ground, and said in a low voice: "Third Young Master, the light of the lantern is moving to this side, maybe it means that Uncle Yu is here to watch the night again."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then Linglong laughed softly.

"Wang Xiaosan, hurry up, don't get caught by my father." Linglong pushed him with a smile.

King Zhou gritted his teeth, "Your lord, is it true, can't you watch the night again tomorrow? Little Lingdang, I calculated the time to come, it's earlier than yesterday..."

If it was still the same as when he came yesterday, he would have been watching the night as soon as he came to Uncle Yu, and he couldn't say a word.

Linglong felt even more cosy, smiling like a small morning glory.

King Zhou looked at the smiling face in front of him, and the anger in his heart went to the country of Java.

When he came out of the house, although he didn't smile, his face was not ugly.

When Uncle Yu came over, Linglong was still awake, half lying on the bed reading a book.

The maid came in and told her, "Master is here to watch the night. I saw a light in the room, so I asked Miss San." Linglong smiled, got off the bed in her clothes, put on her wooden clogs and came out with a flattering smile, "Daddy, I thought about going to bed tomorrow." I'm going to move, so excited I can't sleep..."

Uncle Yu glanced at the clock hanging on the pillar, frowned and said, "I can't sleep at this time, it's okay for a child to lack sleep. Long'er, you go back with dad, let your mother accompany you, and you will fall asleep soon on."

"Because of me, do you want to send Dad to the study?" Linglong stuck out her tongue, feeling very sorry.

Uncle Yu smiled, "What's the matter?"

"Father, your feeling is amazing and accurate, but you came a little bit late..." Linglong thought with a smile.

She didn't argue with Uncle Yu, and ordered the maid to bring something for her clothes, and followed Uncle Yu back.

Seeing Mrs. Qiao, she still used the same rhetoric, "I'm going to move, I'm excited, I can't sleep." Mrs. Qiao felt distressed, "I'm growing up, I need to sleep well." She coaxed her to sleep on the bed, more gentle than usual .

Linglong smiled and closed her eyes.

Uncle Yu's low voice came from next to his ears, "A Tao, I'll spend the night in the side room." Qiao was not very happy, "Shishi Lang, I don't want to leave you." The rustling of clothes seemed to be It was they hugging each other, Uncle Yu's voice became lower, "Then, you go to the ear room with me."

"Yeah." Mrs. Qiao agreed gently and submissively.

Linglong closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, and the smile on the corner of her mouth grew stronger.

In the next few days, Uncle Yu and Mrs. Qiao would not allow Linglong to go out, and asked her to live and raise her at home.Fortunately, Qiao Zhijun would come to see her, and Qiao Sirou would send people to greet her from time to time, Linglong's life was not lonely.In particular, the incidents in Heqinghou's mansion happened one after another, it sounded like watching a play, it was very enjoyable.

Didn't Song Changqing betroth Guan Shousheng?The Marquis of Heqing wanted to slow down the marriage and remarry next year, but Guan Shousheng refused, "I'm already at this age, so I can't wait any longer." If Mrs. Su wanted to delay, he turned his face away, "My family is missing Jin Niang, so I must add someone! Whether you want to or not, Mrs. Hou will tell me!" Mrs. Su also has a headache when she meets such an arrogant person as Guan Shousheng, and Song Changqing is not her own. There was no need to deal with Guan Shousheng for Song Changqing's sake, so he readily agreed.

Madam Tai complained about her a lot, Madam Su euphemistically defended, "According to common sense, Sister Qing's marriage cannot be done in such a hurry. But this marriage was originally not possible according to common sense." Madam Tai was speechless. Mouth speechless.

Mrs. Tai has always been Song Changqing's biggest backer, but Mrs. Tai is useless at this time.Mrs. Tai is too old, it is impossible to do everything by herself, either through Mrs. Su or Qiao Sirou.Now Mrs. Su doesn't want to make trouble, Qiao Sirou let go, Mrs. Tai, a soft-natured mother-in-law, has nothing to do with them.

Song Yong is Song Changqing's biological father, and he loves her somewhat.But ever since he knew that Song Changqing secretly wanted Linglong to make a fool of himself together with Mrs. Su, his heart towards Song Changqing has faded a lot. It's not that he loves Linglong so much, but he knows that Song Changqing and Mrs. Su are tormenting Linglong to make the second room look ugly. , Can you not be disgusted and disgusted?

He has three sons in total, and the third son, Song Changlin, will be adopted by Dafang. The sons who will take care of him in the future will be Dalang Erlang, Song Changqing and Song Changchun.After Qiao Sirou's subtle guidance and explicit hints, Song Yong also knew that Da Lang Erlang was the most important thing. Song Changqing's words and deeds had chilled Song Yong greatly, and he did not want to control her anymore.

Song Changqing's marriage was arranged by Mrs. Su alone, and Qiao Sirou didn't care about things, so she was very leisurely.

Song Changqin was scared out of her wits, and became a lot more honest for a while.After discussing with Song Yong, Qiao Sirou invited a female teacher known for her strictness to come to teach her. The female teacher is 50 years old and very rigid.Song Changqin secretly complained to Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai was very distressed, and pleaded for her, "You can't be strict like this." Qiao Sirou was unmoved, "Let her have her own temper, will she be like Sister Qing in the future? She is willing to be like Sister Qing, so I don't care about it anymore." Not only was Mrs. Tai moved, even Song Changqin was scared, and went back to class obediently, not daring to make a sound.

Although a female wife is strict, it is better than marrying into an official family.

The Marquis of Heqing once again put on lights and festoons, and held the wedding of the eldest lady Song Changqing.

Although the difference between the official family and the Marquis of Heqing's family is too far, but because Song Changqing is a concubine, no one is too surprised by this marriage.Relatives and friends came to add makeup and drink wedding wine, and this matter is over.

Song Changqing's life after marriage is really exciting.

Guan Shousheng is a ruthless person.It was also because he was a ruthless person that his stepmother Bao did not dare to treat him like Jinniang. Jinniang was usually spoiled and spoiled, with a temperament like burning coal.After Jinniang's death, Bao Shi was uneasy for a while, but seeing that Guan Shousheng hadn't had an attack, she gradually relaxed.

"Whether he recognizes it or not, I'm his mother anyway! Stepmother is also his mother!" Bao Shi proudly showed off when chatting with his neighbors.

Song Changqing had only passed through the door, and Bao's peaceful life came to an end.

On the second day of Guan Shousheng's wedding, all the relatives and friends of the official family came to recognize their relatives.Bao was toasted, probably because he drank too much, became dizzy and couldn't sit still, so he confessed to the wives and grandmas and went back to his room to have a rest.She didn't come out after returning to the room. On the big day, it is inevitable that relatives and friends would go in to find her. When they entered the room, they all screamed in fright——Bao Shi and a strong man were lying on the bed, both of them were naked .

On the big day, Guan Shousheng's father, Guan Qianhu, was naturally at home. Hearing the screams, he hurried over and fainted on the spot.

The officials are too busy.

The Bao family also has a natal family, but they have reached this point, so what if they have a natal family?Thousands of officials wanted to divorce their wives, but Bao’s natal sister-in-law refused to die. A daughter, the daughter will always talk about kissing in the future, she would rather let Bao die than take such a sister-in-law back.

Bao's eldest brother couldn't bear it, and her sister-in-law sneered, "Is it more important for your sister, or my three daughters?" Her elder brother defended her, "Even if my sister really stole someone, there's no need to rush to the private meeting today. There's something weird in it!" Her sister-in-law snorted, "Bah, she was not allowed to be a stepmother at the beginning, and her wealth from corrupt officials and thousands of households was rushed to marry! Now that she is married, she doesn't give her back The girl who was left behind was regarded as a human being, so that Jinniang died tragically! Is this what a human did? She deserved this fate!"

Dare to love her sister-in-law also knows that this adultery may not be true, the reason lies in Jinniang's death.

Her elder brother was so confused when he was asked, and finally let go of his anger, "Let it be up to you to be in charge, you have the final say!"

Bao's sister-in-law insisted, "She is a member of the official family, and the official has the final say on whether she lives or dies. If we want to take her back, we must not."

An old man from a thousand official households married a young wife, and he loved the Bao family very much. He thought of the love between husband and wife and did not want to put Bao family to death.But in public, so many relatives and friends have seen it, and Bao's natal family is desperately unwilling to take her back, what can he do?He watched Guan Shousheng hang the white silk on the beam with his own hands, tied the knot, and forced Bao's head into it.

Bao struggled with all his strength, cried and made noises, but in the end he couldn't escape Guan Shousheng's cruel hands.

Song Changqing stood blankly outside the house, listening to Bao's voice gradually getting smaller and smaller, creepy.

Guan Shousheng walked out of the room and grinned at Song Changqing.

His teeth were white, as if he was going to eat someone, Song Changqing screamed, covered his face and fled.
