Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 102 My name is Qiu Changwu, also Meng Qingqing

The summer of Minghe 15 was extremely hot.

When the scorching sun burns on the ground, there is no moisture in the soil, and the soil is dry and cracked.

In such a hot summer, there are very few people going out, especially at noon, when there is no one on the street.

But that doesn't include me.

On July 15, 28, the hot weather was beyond people's tolerance.

When people were huddled in their houses and refused to go out because of the hot weather, I was standing outside the city with my maid, Ayun.

At that time, there was an old man standing opposite Ayun and me. Behind the old man was a carriage, and in front of the carriage was a groom with the bridle.

"I know it's hard to travel in such hot weather, but only in this kind of weather, there will be fewer people outside. Mr. Zhang bears with it first. After he leaves the boundary of the capital, Mr. Zhang can travel freely." At the Shili Pavilion, where people can't stand it, I stood in the pavilion and said to the old man standing opposite me.

"Ms. Meng, there is no need to explain. I am aware of your kindness." The old man across from me cupped his hands after speaking.

"It's good if you understand." I nodded my head when I heard the words, and then said, "Although the rumors have passed now, it's better to be careful in the end."

"I understand." The old man on the opposite side clasped his hands again and replied.

"Besides, before I leave, I still have a few things to tell Mr. Zhang carefully again." I said after the old man cupped his hands.

"Miss Meng, please tell me." The old man on the opposite side bowed his hands to me again and said.

"Let's say goodbye today. I hope that we will never see each other again in this life. I also hope that Mr. Zhang will not come back after leaving the capital. Don't go to places you shouldn't go, and don't meet people you shouldn't meet. Don't say what you shouldn't say. Otherwise, don't say that that person can't spare you, even I will not give you a second chance to live." I said.

The old man on the opposite side looked cautious at my words, then bent over to me and said, "No."

"It's getting late, Mr. Zhang, let's start early, and try to get out of the capital before dawn."

"promise."

After the old man answered, he knelt down and saluted me, then turned around and got into the carriage. After the groom gave a whip, the carriage left by the old man went away like a string.

I stood in the pavilion, looked at the carriage going away, and squinted my eyes.

"Miss, it's too hot outside, let's go back earlier." After the carriage drove away, Ayun walked up to me and said.

Hearing this, I turned my head and glanced at the sweaty Ayun, then nodded: "Go back."

Ayun and I returned to the mansion around the end of the day, and the weather was not the hottest of the day at this time, but it was still very hot.

We entered the mansion through the main entrance of the mansion. As soon as Fang entered the front hall, he saw the housekeeper Meng Yuan walking up and down there, seeming very anxious.

"Hey, my eldest lady, you are back." As soon as I took Ayun into the hall, Meng Yuan walked towards me, still worried.

"Huh? Butler Meng, are you waiting for me here?" I raised my eyebrows and asked Meng Yuan.

"No, nothing." Meng Yuan shook his head immediately after my words.

"It's just that you know about your own body, Miss. You have just recovered this year. You are going out on this hot day. If you get sunburned or something, wait for Master Hou to find out. Skin." Meng Yuan said again, and after finishing speaking, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his brow, showing a look of fear.

And I looked at Meng Yuan's appearance, so I smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm going out today, brother knows."

"That's good." Meng Yuan nodded and said, the expression of fear on his face finally disappeared.

In fact, elder brother is obviously a kind person, but for some reason, few servants in the mansion seem not to be afraid of him.

"By the way, did brother come back at noon today?" I asked suddenly.

"Not ever." Meng Yuan replied after my words.

"Then when elder brother went out this morning, did he say when he would be back today?" I asked again after hearing the words.

"Responding to Miss, Master Hou said that he would come back today to have dinner with Miss." Meng Yuan answered in my words.

"So, I see." I nodded upon hearing this, and then said, "Butler Meng, go and do your work first, I'll take Xiaoyun back to my courtyard."

"Okay." Meng Yuan nodded, and then said: "Later, the servant will send some medicinal soup to the young lady for relieving summer heat, young lady remember to drink it."

"understood."

Meng Yuan did what he said, when Ayun and I just returned to the Tongyuan where I lived, someone delivered the heat-relieving decoction he mentioned earlier.

I know my body well, so although the soup is bitter, I still drank it in one gulp.

"Ah Yun, after running outside for so long, I'm a little tired. I'll sleep later. And after I fall asleep, you should go and rest for a while." After drinking the soup, A Yun waited on him to wash up After removing the sweat stains all over my body, I said to Ah Yun.

"Okay, thank you miss." Ayun nodded after my words and then left my bedroom after helping me to lie down, presumably to go out to rest.

I slept for most of the afternoon, and when I woke up, it was dark outside, and a candle lamp was lit in the room far away from my bed.

"Miss, are you awake?"

Ayun woke up earlier than me, and when I got up, she was standing by my bed, and when she saw me get up, she immediately helped me sit up from the bed.

"Hmm. What time is it now?" I let Ayun help me sit up, and after sitting up with my back against the wall behind the bed, I raised my hands and rubbed my forehead acupuncture points, which had been sleeping for most of the afternoon, and asked.

"Miss Hui, it's almost half past five o'clock." Ayun took my hand after speaking, and replied while rubbing the evil double acupoints for me.

"It's so late?" I was surprised when I heard the words and asked.

"Miss was probably exposed to the sun today, and she slept relatively deeply in the afternoon. The servants were afraid of disturbing Miss, so they never called Miss." Xiao Yun replied.

"So that's how it is." I nodded my head when I heard the words, and then asked, "Did brother come back?"

"I'm back, Lord Hou is working in the study at the moment, waiting for the lady to have dinner together after she wakes up."

"Understood, help me wash up and get up."

"Ok."

In order not to keep my brother waiting for a long time, after Xiaoyun helped me get up, I sent someone to the elder brother's courtyard to tell him that I had woken up, so that after I finished washing and taking Xiaoyun to the dining room, my elder brother would go to the dining room first. One step is waiting for me in the dining room.

"Qingqing met my elder brother." I took Xiaoyun into the dining room, and when I saw my brother Meng Qingcheng standing in the dining room, I walked up to him and saluted him.

"I told you a long time ago that we are all one family, what are you doing with so many vain salutes?" Brother Meng Qingcheng hurried towards me when he saw me saluting, helped me up, and said helplessly to me.

I smiled when I heard this, although my elder brother would say this to me every time, but the next time I saw him, I would still salute him.

After my elder brother and I arrived, Meng Yuan, who had been waiting on the sidelines, ordered the dishes to be served.

When my brother and I saw this, we went to the dinner table and sat down together.

"Has your brother been back for a long time?" After sitting down at the dinner table with my brother, I looked at the regular clothes that my brother Meng Qingcheng had changed, and asked.

"It's been a while." Brother Meng Qingcheng replied.

"Brother, you have been busy during the day, if you are hungry after you come back at night, you can eat first, and you don't need to wait for Qingqing to join you." I frowned and said.

And the elder brother Meng Qingcheng smiled indifferently after hearing what I said, then shook his head and said: "In a day, there is only dinner that can be used with you, Qingqing. If this one is going to be missed, then I am really a big brother." So irresponsible."

After hearing what my elder brother Meng Qingcheng said, I naturally couldn't say anything more, so I smiled at him, and said: "Well, it seems that in order to prevent my elder brother from getting hungry, next time Qingqing should not sleep in the afternoon, even if she wants to sleep. Before going to bed, tell Ayun to remember to wake Qingqing up before the elder brother comes back."

"It doesn't matter, Qingqing, your body is just right, more sleep will be good for you." After my words, my brother still shook his head and said.

I smiled when I heard the words, and it happened that the food was being served at this moment, so I didn't speak any more.

My elder brother has been with me for three years, so he knows that I have a habit of not talking when I eat or sleep, so when I stopped talking, he didn't talk anymore, and quietly had dinner with me.

However, as my elder brother Meng Qingcheng said, we don't spend much time together on weekdays because of his busy schedule.

So after dinner, we didn't go back to the courtyard, but went to the back garden in the backyard to enjoy the shade.

Summer nights are not as hot as during the day. When the night wind blows, although the wind is hot, it is very comfortable to blow on the body.

When I arrived in the backyard, I felt the evening wind blowing on my body, listened to the croaking of frogs in the summer night, raised my head, looked at the twinkling stars in the bright night sky above my head, and felt very relaxed and happy in my heart.

"Is someone sent away?" After we sat down together in the pavilion in the backyard, my elder brother asked me while drinking the herbal tea that Meng Yuan had prepared.

At that time, I was looking at the sky of Xia Ye, and I nodded after hearing what my elder brother Meng Qingcheng said, and then replied: "Well, let's go."

"No accident, right?" Brother Meng Qingcheng asked after my words.

"No, the days and hours are specially chosen, and it's been so long, not many people still remember it." I said.

"That's good." Brother Meng Qingcheng nodded behind me and said.

"By the way, Qingqing, do you have plans for the future?" After nodding, my brother Meng Qingcheng asked me again.

"No." I shook my head and said, then turned to look at my elder brother Meng Qingcheng, and asked, "Is there something wrong, elder brother?"

"Well, I will take a rest in the next day, and I will go to Fahua Temple with a friend. If you have nothing to do, Qingqing, you can go with Brother Wei."

"it is good."

The night wind was blowing comfortably, and my elder brother Meng Qingcheng and I sat in the backyard for more than half an hour, talked a lot before getting up, and my elder brother took me back to Tongyuan where I lived.

"It's getting late at night, my lord brother has to go to the morning court tomorrow, so let's go back to rest early." After my brother Meng Qingcheng sent me to the gate of Tongyuan, I said to my brother.

"Okay, Qingqing, you also remember to go to bed early." Brother Meng Qingcheng nodded to me after my words.

"Don't worry, brother, Qingqing knows about it."

After saying goodbye to my brother, I went to take a shower first, and when I returned to the room after washing, I slept a little too much in the afternoon, and I still can't fall asleep.So he was not in a hurry to fall asleep, instead he took a book and sat in the room to read it.

The night became darker and darker as I read a book, and when the month was over half, I finally felt sleepy.

At that time, Ayun had already sent me to go down to rest first, so I put down the book and walked towards the bed.

It's just that when I passed by the dressing table and accidentally turned my head and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror, my steps stopped, and then I walked towards the dressing table.

Walking to the front and back of the dressing table, I sat down.

In the middle of the night, the candlelight in the room was dim and yellow. I sat in front of the dressing table, looked at the face in the bronze mirror, then raised my hand and pulled down the shirt on my left shoulder.

The bronze mirror was mottled, but I could still see it clearly. At that time, there was an obvious tooth mark on my left shoulder above the clavicle.

The hand that pulled off the shirt landed on the tooth mark, and my five fingers rubbed back and forth on the tooth mark. After a long while, I smiled at the familiar but unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror.

My name is Qiu Changwu, also Meng Qingqing.
