When I returned to the courtyard where I lived, it was already midnight, all the lights were turned off, and everything was quiet.
Fu Xie was sweating all over and wanted to take a bath, but he didn't want to disturb others, so he took off his coat and fetched water from the well in the middle of the yard to rinse directly.
Perhaps he was disturbed by the sound of water, the lights in the west wing were quickly turned on, the door opened, and Yilan walked to the middle of the yard neatly dressed: "You came back so late, what happened?"
Yilan walked out so quickly. It was obvious that she had not slept. She was waiting for him to come back. Xie Fu smiled and said, "It's okay. Have you been awake?"
Yi Lan smiled sweetly: "Perhaps I'm used to it now. There's no one around me who can't sleep."
As he spoke, he picked up the clothes that Mr. Xie had taken off, took a sip, and said with a joking smile: "It smells so strong and fragrant of a woman."
Does this count as being caught red-handed? For some reason, Xie Fu was not worried at all and responded directly: "It's Qiu Ruyi."
"Is the bright moon and autumn of the rich family going well?"
Xie Fu nodded.
"Why are everyone here, Qiu?"
"She is Master Qiu's apprentice. I think she came here to monitor your and my whereabouts."
Yilan smiled softly: "That's reasonable."
Xie Fuqing asked: "Yilan, when do you plan to leave?"
Yilan's heart trembled. In the twenty years since she came to Daguan Country, she had always missed returning home, but at this moment she couldn't let go of the contradiction because she had a bond here.
Looking at Xie Fu, she can stay, stay for Xie Fu, and in what capacity can she stay, the Queen? Of course it can't be done.
If the two of them want to stay together and fly together, they can only do it in a foreign country. But Fu has family and friends here, how can he let him give up everything and go with himself.
Thinking of this, Yi Lan smiled sweetly: "I don't know."
Xie Fu walked up to Yilan: "There is only one way to go in the current situation."
Yilan smiled: "Go back to the house and put on some clothes first, so you don't catch a cold."
"good"
…
Xie Li and Du Chuan spent the night in Qinlou. This was also the first time he spent the night in a brothel. This night also changed his stereotype of the brothel. This place is elegant and not a place where filth is hidden.
Leave enough money, ask the brothel mother to take good care of Du Chuan, and go back home early in the morning.
He went straight to the study and wrote a love letter to Qiu Ruyi with excitement, expressing his admiration for Qiu Ruyi euphemistically.
After I finished writing, I immediately went to the courtyard where Qiu Ruyi was staying. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I became nervous and apprehensive. Isn't this a bit abrupt?
Unconsciously, I walked to Qiu Ruyi's room, only to see the door open and a maid cleaning the room.
Xie Li asked in astonishment: "Where is Miss Qiu?"
The maid responded: "I came here to fetch water early in the morning and found that Miss Qiu was not in the room."
Xie Li was surprised: "Are you leaving?"
The maid smiled and said: "Miss Qiu is elegant and polite. She won't leave without saying goodbye. She should be taking a walk in the house."
Thinking about it, this saves him from the tension and embarrassment of confronting her directly. He thanks the gift and enters the room. The fragrance of Qiu Ruyi's body remains in the room, which makes people intoxicated and happy just by smelling it.
If there is a fairy lady in the room, it becomes a fairy palace. The letter is placed on the table.
The maid who was cleaning the room saw it and asked: "Master, what should I say when Miss Qiu comes back and sees this letter?"
Xie Li said calmly: "Just tell me to stay."
…
Qiu Ruyi woke up in the deserted house and felt that she had never had such a comfortable sleep in her life. Her whole body was so relaxed and transformed that even her bones were soft and smooth. For the first time, she felt that being a human being was really good and that life was full of color.
Looking around, Xie Fu no longer knew when he would leave. Looking at his neat clothes, last night seemed like a dream.
There was a burning pain all over my body, but I knew that it really happened.
The scene last night was a bit blurry. She only knew that she was like a volcano erupting, pouring all the flames that had accumulated for more than 20 years on Xie Fu's head in an extremely crazy manner. And this old friend who had known her for many years, no matter how hard she endured,
He hugged her tightly and protected her despite the fierce impact.
Thinking of this, Qiu Ruyi felt extremely warm in her heart and felt guilty. She didn't know if he would think that I only used him as a tool to vent my anger.
Shao epilepsy, thank you for your hard work.
Shao epilepsy, Ruyi, thank you very much.
I know this is not what you want, you just want to help me, right?
Maybe you still feel sorry for me...
Thinking about it, Qiu Ruyi felt sorry for Xie Fu again.
Her mood was completely different from that of the other woman who had lost her virginity. She was not too disappointed, but rather apologetic for taking away a man's virginity.
Xie Fu has been a husband for a long time, so of course there is no male chastity, but Qiu Ruyi knows Xie Fu's character well. In a sense, she did take away something from Xie Fu, a gentleman of a man, or a married man.
loyalty……
While returning to the courtyard where she was staying, Qiu Ruyi kept thinking about how to comfort Xie Fu, lest he harbor grudges and not even be friends in the future.
The door of the house opened, and the maid who was responsible for her daily life yesterday was cleaning the room. Seeing that Qiu Ruyi was back, she said happily: "Miss Qiu, are you back?"
Qiu Ruyi smiled: "Sister Ping, please come and clean my room early in the morning."
"This is what it should be. By the way, Miss Qiu, where did you get up so early in the morning?"
"I don't sleep well and often wake up at dawn."
Seeing Qiu Ruyi's face glowing with glory, the maid smiled and said, "Miss Qiu, I see you look rosy. You must have slept well last night."
Qiu Ruyi nodded: "I don't know why, but I always sleep very soundly and sweetly here. It must be that the fragrance of culture is everywhere here?"
The maidservant is uneducated and cannot understand: "Wenhuafangqing?"
Qiu Ruyi smiled and did not answer, and the maid suddenly realized: "I will go and get Miss Qiu some water to wash herself."
Qiu Ruyi nodded: "Sister Ping, thank you for your work."
I sat down, and as soon as my round butt touched the seat, it was like being pricked by a needle, and I couldn't help but let out a cry.
The maid stopped when she heard the sound and turned around: "Miss Qiu, what's wrong with you?"
Qiu Ruyi was a little embarrassed. It couldn't be said that she had been severely injured and the remaining injuries had not yet healed. Although she didn't use the naked eye to see it carefully, she knew that it must be like a flower that had just budded and was damaged to the point where even the stamens could not withstand the breeze.
This can't be blamed on Xie Fu's rudeness, she was the moth to the flame from the beginning to the end.
At this time, the scene last night became clearer. He had always been gentle, even cautious, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
Shaodian, you are such a gentle man.
"Miss Qiu?"
Qiu Ruyi came back to her senses, suddenly caught a glimpse of the letter on the table, and asked doubtfully: "This letter?"
"The young master sent it here."
Qiu Ruyi was surprised: "Really?"
The maid nodded and left.
Why did Shaodian leave me a letter? I guess he had something to say that he couldn't say in person.
Come to think of it, they were close friends, and suddenly they became husband and wife. If it were her, it would be awkward when they met and she didn't know what to say.
Looking at this letter, Qiu Ruyi felt a little nervous for no reason. Will he let me be his woman?
Or a letter of apology to her, or...
Instead of thinking wildly, it's better to reveal the truth directly.
The moment she opened the letter and saw the handwriting on it, Qiu Ruyi knew it was not written by Xie Fu. She was very familiar with Xie Fu's handwriting.
This is a heartfelt love letter expressing my love for her.
Seeing the final signature, Qiu Ruyi sneered contemptuously, even dismissively.
A man who is about to get married, but is preoccupied with other women, is disgusting.
Although Xie Li was mediocre, Qiu Ruyi had a good impression of Xie Li through Xie Fu's words, and she also had respect for this mediocre man.
This love letter tore away this man's hypocritical appearance and completely exposed his dirty heart.
…
Xie Li accompanied Du Chuan to the brothel last night, smelling of makeup, powder, and alcohol. He took a bath and was changing clothes. The door was suddenly pushed open, which startled Xie Li, and it was Cai Wei who looked at him.
Hu Caiwei walked in directly, with a look of joy on her face: "Thank you, brother."
Xie Li saw that she was wearing a cloth skirt and jingle hairpin, her originally delicate cheeks were even tanned by the sun, a pair of embroidered shoes under her feet were stained with mud, and she was holding a cloth bag in her hand that contained something unknown.
Thinking of the elegant and noble Qiu Ruyi, I suddenly feel disgusted. Grandpa is right, vulgar people will always be vulgar people. If I marry such a wife, I'm afraid I will be laughed at.
He said in a cold tone: "Why don't you knock on the door when you come in?"
Hu Caiwei smiled playfully: "Are you anxious to see you?" She approached Xie Li directly and said, "Brother Xie, what do you think I brought you?"
Xie Li saw the muddy footprints left on the clean ground and frowned: "Let's go out first. I'm changing clothes. How unbecoming are you to barge in like this?"
"Oh, then I'll go out first."
Hu Caiwei walked to the door and suddenly turned around: "Brother Xie, if you encounter anything annoying, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you."
"No."
The thank you was very cold. He went up and closed the door, put on a set of elegant clothes, combed his hair in a bun in front of the mirror, inserted a man's hairpin, and looked at the gentle and jade-like image of the noble young master in the mirror. He was very satisfied.
When the door opened, Hu Caiwei saw the brand-new thank you gift, and she wowed and praised: "Brother Xie, you are so handsome!"
These words fell into Xie Li's ears, but they felt extremely vulgar. How could a woman speak to a man like this? It was simply frivolous. He said coldly: "Come in."
Before thanking her, Hu Caiwei sat down first, raised her sleeves and wiped the hot sweat from her head. In order to bake good tea, she stayed up all night last night. As soon as the tea came out of the oven, she hurriedly gave it to her while it was fresh.
Thank you for the gift. I wish you could give her a few compliments when you see her.
When I saw Xie Li, I thought to myself, "I don't even have any etiquette. It's nothing in private. If I do it in front of others, I will lose all my face."
Originally, she felt a little guilty towards Hu Caiwei, but now she felt that this matter could no longer be postponed. Today she had to make it clear that she could pursue Qiu Ruyi with all her strength without any burden.
An elegant and talented woman like Qiu Ruyi is the woman I want to marry thanks to my gift.
As soon as Xie Li sat down, Hu Caiwei handed the cloth bag forward: "Brother Xie, the Lu Yangchun you want has just come out of the oven, so I will send it to you. This is the best Lu Yangchun, better than what I gave you last time."
Brother Fu’s are all better.”
Hu Caiwei used to be called Brother Xie Fu, but in order to distinguish him, he later changed his name to Brother Fu.
Xie Li pushed the cloth bag aside and said with a serious expression: "Caiwei, there are some things that I want to explain to you today."
Hu Caiwei also sensed what happened from Xie Li's expression, and said with concern: "Brother Xie, are you in any trouble? Tell Caiwei and see if I can help you."
Thank you and smiled: "It's not a trouble, but you can help me. I wonder if you are willing?"
"Brother Xie, tell me, as long as I can help you, I will not refuse."
Hearing that Hu Caiwei was so happy, Xie Li felt a secret joy in his heart and said slowly: "Caiwei, let's just be brother and sister."
Hu Caiwei was stunned, and then her whole body froze.
Xie Li was a little worried and called softly: "Caiwei."
Hu Caiwei finally came back to her senses and forced a smile: "Brother Xie, what are you talking about? Are you kidding me?"
"You know me, I never make jokes like this."
Xie Li said, feeling a little guilty and not daring to look directly at Hu Caiwei, and looked away: "Caiwei, these days I find that I don't have much love between a man and a woman for you, but more like a brother and sister. Since I don't love you
You, I should let you go before we get married and it’s still too late. Brother Xie, I made this decision after thinking about it..."
Xie Li calmly explained the reason, but found that Hu Caiwei didn't respond. When he looked, he found that tears were already flowing from Hu Caiwei's eyes, and there were two more streams on her dark cheeks.
This shocked Xie Li: "Caiwei, why are you crying?"
Hu Caiwei was so sad that she couldn't speak. She raised her two dirty sleeves and took turns wiping away the tears on her face. But just as she wiped them away, the tears in her eyes washed away again.
Xie Li saw that the more she wiped her clothes, the dirtier she became, and she turned into a little cat. He couldn't bear it, and stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, but suddenly retracted his hand.
She sighed and said, "Caiwei, please stop crying. Let's become brother and sister. We will still be relatives from now on. You can come to the house to play at any time."
Hu Caiwei felt like she was being given a handout. Her strong self-esteem and pride made her snap, forced a smile, and said with sobs: "I just... I just... don't know how to go back and explain to my parents."
Xie Li hurriedly said: "Don't worry, uncle, I'm here to tell them that after you and I become brothers and sisters, your parents will also be my parents."
"Let's talk about it later, Brother Xie, this is the tea you asked for. I'll leave first."
Xie Li glanced at the cloth bag on the table, and then at Hu Caiwei's gloomy back. He felt uncomfortable, and after hesitating, Hu Caiwei had already walked away.
Hu Caiwei walked out of the yard quickly, and the tears she had just held back immediately flowed down again. When she saw someone approaching in front of her, she immediately hid.
It took me a while to control my sadness and stop my tears, and then I wiped away the tears on my face.
When I felt that it was almost done, I walked out of the hiding place. Not long after I left, I met a servant who smiled and said hello: "Miss Caiwei, congratulations."
Hu Caiwei forced a smile: "Thank you very much."
I quickened my steps, wanting to leave here quickly. How should I tell my parents when I get back? Everyone in the neighborhood already knew that I was about to marry into the Xie family.
When she thought of the ridicule from her neighbors and her shameless parents, Hu Caiwei felt more and more aggrieved and her eyes were red.
I was full of grievances but had no one to talk to. I wished I could jump into a river in front of me and be done with it, without thinking about anything.
Suddenly hearing voices talking in front of her, Hu Caiwei knew that she could not be seen by others at this moment, so she quickly hid again.
When the two of them passed by, they heard that the second young master was back. Hu Caiwei immediately became energetic. If I do something stupid, Brother Fu will scold me severely.
I want to come here and walk towards the courtyard where Xie Fu lives.
