wedding dress

Chapter 136

The letter was not long, and Zhao Zhi said that everything was fine for her, and that she was four months pregnant, and that Zhang Manting treated her very well, and told Xiaodong not to worry.At the same time, at the end of the letter, she asked Xiaodong to find out if Xiaoman was still alive, and if so, where.

Xiaodong noticed that the letter was written by Zhao Zhi himself, and the quality of the paper and ink used was not bad.Of course it cannot be compared with before.In the past, even if Zhao Zhi didn't use Xiaodong's sprinkling gold paper hard, she used the best jade plate and flying sandalwood.The paper used now is ordinary rice paper and ink. Xiaodong has a sensitive nose, and she can tell the slight difference in the smell of ink.

"This is... a letter from her?"

"It took several days for the person I dispatched to finally enter Zhang's house with the help of a embroiderer, and brought out this letter." Qin Lie asked, "What did she write?"

"She wants to know the whereabouts of her nephew." Xiaodong handed the letter to Qin Lie and sat down slowly.

Jingjun Prince's Mansion has already been sealed off, almost all adult men have been convicted, Jingjun Princess committed suicide, and other people in the mansion were exiled, sold and sold——

But Xiaodong has never heard of the child whose baby name is Xiaoman, who hasn't had time to get a real name yet.

Xiao Man is the child of Zhao Zhi's second brother. He was born round and round, very lively and cute. He was only a little over one year old when the incident happened in Jingjun Prince's Mansion.But never heard from him.

"It should be Princess Jingjun who sent the child away in advance." Qin Lie said, "It's the same as marrying Zhao Zhi. It's better to marry than to stay in the mansion. The child should also be sent away in advance... If it can be successful If things happen, then of course you can take them back. If things fail, there will be a line of incense left in the family."

Yes.

But with Princess Jingjun's method, who knows where she sent the child?Zhao Zhi didn't know, and Xiaodong didn't even know.

"Will you write her a letter?"

"it is good."

Qin Lie helped Xiaodong, took out the paper she had written on and put it aside, and took a stack of letterhead paper from the shelf.

Xiaodong looked at the letter paper, pondered for a while, and then put down his pen.

"how?"

"I don't know what to write."

Qin Lie nodded: "Then I'll write when I think about it. Do you want to send her something?"

"It sounds like it's not easy to send a message, things... just forget it."

"Once born and twice acquainted, there is still a way to pick it up."

"Let me think about it." Xiaodong remembered that he hadn't had a drink for a long time, so he poured a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Have a cup of tea."

When Qin Lie reached out to take the teacup, their hands touched.

In the past, Xiaodong didn't feel anything, but this time, for some reason, he always felt that Qin Lie's hands were extremely hot, and he retracted them all at once.

Qin Lie held the teacup in a daze for a while, then raised his head and poured a cup of tea down his throat, swallowing it all with a thud.

Xiaodong glanced back, good guy, that's the way to describe it, isn't it?
"You have just recovered from your illness, so don't bother yourself, even if you are not sleepy, just rely on rest."

Xiaodong nodded in response, and leaned on the couch by the window, Qin Lie covered her with a blanket.

"This time I will trouble you again."

"Why are you being polite to me? Besides, I've been running back and forth, and this is just incidental."

You're really welcome with him.

After saying these two sentences, the two looked up at each other at the same time——

The room became extremely quiet for a while.

Xiaodong coughed lightly first, and looked away.

After a while, Qin Lie said in a low voice: "You must not eat well these days, and you have lost weight again."

Xiaodong retorted in a low voice: "After drinking the medicine, I always feel full, and I can't eat anything."

"You have to eat too. How can a person survive without eating? No wonder the illness heals so slowly."

The topic of eating is very safe, and the two of them are finally not so embarrassed.Meihua didn't know what to think, turned her neck, jumped off the window sill, approached with small steps, first circled around Qin Lie's feet, then jumped onto the couch with all her strength, and looked for Xiaodong on Xiaodong's legs. After taking a comfortable position, he lazily lay down again and did not move.

Xiaodong suddenly remembered that a few years ago, when she was sick, Qin Lie also brought a gift to see her.

The gift was a live chicken, just sitting on top of her quilt.

Memory is such a wonderful thing. When you are happy, the scene seems to be packed into a wine vat, sealed tightly, and slowly fermented, becoming sweeter and happier. After opening the lid, the rich joy wafts out of it.

"What happened to that little chicken that year?"

Qin Lie froze for a moment, then smiled: "Do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember."

"Well, after I went back, I kept it in the house and gave it millet to eat. Later, it grew a little and couldn't be kept in the house anymore, so I gave it to the chief to take it out and live with other chickens. The chicken coop is gone."

Xiaodong lowered his head and suppressed a smile.

Plum Blossom's tail swayed from side to side, again and again.

"What you said that day...I've thought about it."

Qin Lie didn't make a sound, but Xiaodong could feel his whole body tense up for a moment.

"There's something I don't want to understand..." Xiaodong raised his head, looked at Qin Lie with his lips pursed, and looked at her fixedly.

Whether Qin Lie wants to marry her is because he likes her, or because of the habit he has developed for a long time, he is used to having such a person...

When she was young, Qin Lie treated her like a very good brother.

Now that she has grown up slowly, Qin Lie still treats her equally well.

But, in Qin Lie's heart, what kind of feelings did he have for her?

Just treat her like a sister?Just think she is the right person to live with?
still is……

Intermittently, she still explained what she meant.

"Sister Xiaodong..."

"Ah."

"If you ask, I have thought about it too."

The room was very quiet, Meihua's ears trembled, she looked at Xiaodong, then turned to look at Qin Lie, her round eyes seemed to be able to read people's thoughts, they were extraordinarily clear.

"When I first left the capital, when I thought about the people and things in the capital, I just felt worried. The farther I went, the more I felt... as if a piece of my heart had been hollowed out. At that time, if I had to say what I was thinking in my heart, I also felt worried. I can't say it. When I left, I boldly mentioned that to the prince, but the prince didn't scold me. I just asked the prince to give me a chance, and I will definitely treat you better than everyone..."

"Later, as the days got longer, I often thought of you. I wondered if you had grown taller, changed your appearance, and your temper was still the same as before... Once I went to Nantuo in a team with others, and I took a boat out to sea. In a strong wind, they all said that the ship would sink, and I thought of you at that time. I thought I couldn’t die, I had to live, and I wanted to go back to see you... Fortunately, I took my life that time. When I came back from the sea, I I just want to go to the capital, and I want to see you. There is a rush of energy in my chest, as if my chest is going to be broken, and I can't restrain it. After I come back, I will go to see the prince first. If the prince thinks that I am a merchant, I am not suitable. I can also donate an official, a fifth-rank one... When I was talking at that time, I hadn't seen you yet. When you and Shizi came back, I saw you at a glance, just like I imagined. Pretty, kind, smiling and showing her small glutinous teeth... I was so happy that I didn't know what to do, just like... After the strong wind at sea, the boat finally sailed into the port with difficulty and landed on the shore. It settled down right away.”

Xiaodong listened quietly, the two of them were not far away, with plum blossoms in between.

Xiaodong's cheeks were dyed crimson at some point, or maybe it was because the earth dragon in the room was too hot, and the smoke made the whole body feel hot and dizzy.

Is she that good?

I remember that reunion after a long absence was actually very bad. She had a bit of heat stroke that day. After waking up after sniffing the medicinal oil, she sneezed hard before she could say anything. no.

Then, can it only be said that Qin Lie is beauty in the eye of the beholder?

Xiaodong seemed to hear some voices, which became louder and louder.

It's the sound of a heartbeat.

Her heart was beating fast.

People are also silly, and their faces are hot.

"Little Dong?"

"Ah."

She agreed and looked up.

Why did he miss the word "sister"?

Ah, is it because he doesn't want her to feel that he treats her like a sister?

"Qin Lie." She also called out to him.

"Eh."

Xiaodong suddenly wanted to laugh, and both of them were a little silly.

Plum Blossom followed suit and meowed softly.

Qin Lie stretched out his hand and gently took Xiaodong's hand.

Mei Hua was pushed aside, shook her head in dissatisfaction, jumped off the couch and trot away.

"what are you thinking?"

Xiaodong was in a daze. It was really hot in the room, and she was sweating on her forehead and neck. The windows were covered with tissue paper, and the room was very bright.

Qin Lie's hand was gentle and strong, a whole circle bigger than hers, with calluses of various sizes on it, he held her hand carefully, as if he was afraid that it would hurt her if he held it too hard.

"Actually, I have also thought about whether I will meet such a person in the future who is very close to me and treats me very well... Maybe I have dreamed about it in my dreams, but it is always very blurry and I can't see the face clearly." Xiaodong's voice was very low, The meowing sound is similar to that of plum blossoms: "Whether there is power, status, money, appearance, temper and character... There is no definite standard. I haven't thought about it carefully, maybe it's because I'm a little scared. I am afraid that the life after marriage will not be as good as I want, and I need to change myself to adapt to the new life... Before I have time to go further, think clearly, you have already..."

Does Qin Lie meet the long-standing, vague standard of measurement in her heart?
She never applied the standard of "future husband" to Qin Lie.

However, it seems that the standard itself has no meaning.

People will meet someone one day, and that person may not be the standard you set.But there he was, just right.

Xiaodong didn't know what he was going to say, the more he spoke, the more messy his voice became.

She simply shut her mouth, seriously, and stared at the person in front of her.

----------

When the cold snap came, the temperature dropped a lot. .

Everyone should pay attention to the body.

Ah, and, Piao Piao... Spread your hands...
