The cold wind stirred up the red rope tied in her hair. After wandering around for a long time, Xu Qingwan finally stood at the door of Wei's house.
She just arrived in Shuzhou City during the day today.
He first went to the Xuanjing Department to submit the transfer documents, and then ran over directly with his luggage without even going to the arranged residence.
After three months, Comrade Xiao Xu was looking forward to this moment of reunion with Wei Changtian every day.
But now that there was only a wall between them, she hesitated.
"..."
"Sir, do you want to try the tofu from the slave family?"
"Ah! Young Master, I want you to eat the tofu in the bowl!"
"Brother Changtian, please stop bullying Sister Liu Shi. I'm so shameless!"
"Sister Qin'er, it's okay, as long as the master is happy..."
"Well, um... Master, I'm going to see if the cakes are baked... Mr. Master! Come over and help me!"
"Ah? Ah..."
"..."
Yang Liushi's coquettishness, Liang Qin's envy, Li Suyue's embarrassment, Zhang San's hindsight...
The lively sounds in the house floated out of the room and out of the courtyard, and seemed to carry some of the heat from the hot pot into Xu Qingwan's ears.
She stood in the cold wind holding the bird in her arms, until the vermilion door was pushed open a small crack.
"This girl..."
Yuan'er stuck out her head and asked doubtfully: "Who are you looking for?"
"ah!"
Xu Qingwan came back from her trance and opened her mouth.
"I, I went wrong..."
"Wrong way?"
Yuan'er was a little suspicious, and when she was about to ask again, she saw that the woman opposite had already lowered her head, turned around and walked away.
"strangeness......"
Looking at the figure slowly disappearing at the end of the alley, she blinked in confusion.
Huh?
I always feel like I have seen this sister somewhere...
I must have remembered it wrong...
"Yuan'er, what are you doing here?"
Li Suyue's voice came from behind.
"Ah, nothing."
Yuan'er shook her head and closed the door again.
"Just now the concierge said there was a girl standing outside, so I came to ask."
"What about her?"
"I've already left. I said I found the wrong person."
...
...
"Crackling~"
In the room, the fire that was about to rise was not very bright.
The small room was neatly tidied, with a wooden bed placed in the corner and covered with a checkerboard-patterned curtain.
Although the mud bricks on the ground were spotless, they were somewhat damp. I don't know whether it was because of the water splashed on them in the afternoon, or because of the cold climate in Shuzhou.
This is the residence in Shuzhou arranged by the Xuanjing Division for Xu Qingwan. Compared with ordinary officers, it is already "super standard".
After all, the tidbits between General Xu Qi and Wei Changtian are known to everyone in the entire Xuanjing Division, so naturally Chen Bo has never heard of them.
Although he didn't know what the current relationship between Xu Qingwan and Wei Changtian was, he did not dare to neglect and directly arranged such a room according to Baihu's "standards".
"Pa~"
Xu Qingwan gently placed the bird on the table, sat at the table for a while, and then unfolded the package and prepared to pack her luggage.
In fact, there is nothing to deal with.
Apart from a few changes of clothes, there was only a small wooden box wrapped tightly in the small cloth bag.
"Pap~"
When the lid of the box was opened, there was a stack of banknotes on the surface, which totaled almost two thousand taels.
Underneath the banknote was a red demon pill and a thin piece of letter paper.
If the love between two people lasts for a long time, how can they be together day and night...
Biting her lips and staring at this poem that she had read countless times, Xu Qingwan wiped the corners of her eyes in aggrieved manner.
She only knew Lu Jingyao before, so she didn't know who the women who just spoke were.
But after all, he is very close to Wei Changtian.
Has he found a new love in Shuzhou after only three months...
Xu Qingwan knew that she had no right to be jealous, after all, Wei Changtian had not really married her yet.
But my heart felt so sad.
"Dong dong~"
There was a slight knock on the door. Comrade Xiao Xu was stunned for a moment, feeling suddenly anxious and expectant.
He hurriedly put away the wooden box, quickly wiped away his tears with his sleeves, took a deep breath and walked to the door.
"who is it?"
"Ahem, Mr. Xu, it's me." Chen Bo's voice came from outside the house.
"..."
The excitement that had just emerged disappeared in an instant. Xu Qingwan slowly opened the door and forced a smile.
"Master Chen, what can I do for you?"
"Haha, it's nothing. I just stopped by to ask Mr. Xu if you are still missing anything, so I can send someone to buy it."
Chen Bo had no intention of entering the house, so he stood at the door and said politely: "You have just come from the capital. If there is anything you are not used to in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, just tell me. Don't be polite."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your concern. We have all the necessary items in the house. There is nothing missing."
Xu Qingwan hesitated for a moment and stepped aside slightly: "Sir, would you like to come in and have a cup of hot tea?"
"Uh... I won't drink any more tea."
Chen Bo glanced at the empty copper pot in the room and asked again casually.
"By the way, today is Laba. I wonder if Mr. Xu has had dinner? How about I have someone bring some?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I'll just go out and find a tavern later to eat some."
"That's fine. There's a Shunyi Restaurant on West Street which is good. It's our Xuanjing Division's own property. When the time comes, Mr. Xu will just show his waist badge to the waiter after eating and keep accounts."
"..."
Soon, Chen Bo introduced various shops around to Xu Qingwan, and Chen Bo was ready to say goodbye and leave.
Xu Qingwan nodded and did not rush to close the door out of politeness. Instead, she stood at the door and watched Chen Bo go away.
However, just after the latter turned the corner, a burst of conversation suddenly came over.
"Master Wei?"
"Hmm? Master Chen?"
...
The fire on the wall burned brighter and brighter, turning Xu Qingwan's cheeks red.
Looking at Comrade Xiao Xu who was standing opposite like a stupid goose, Wei Changtian put his food box on the table, his face was both angry and funny.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you were transferred to Shuzhou?"
"Why didn't you reply when I wrote to you?"
"Why didn't you knock on the door when you were already at the door just now? Are you saying you found the wrong person?"
"..."
Facing this series of questions, Xu Qingwan opened her mouth and didn't know which one to answer first.
After being stunned for a long time, she just weakly pointed at Wei Changtian's waist and asked in a low voice:
"Long, where's the dragon's chant?"
"Um?"
Wei Changtian didn't expect Xu Qingwan's focus to be so strange, so he casually replied: "It's broken."
"We had a fight a few days ago, and the opponent's weapon was better than Long Yin, so it was broken."
"ah?"
Xu Qingwan suddenly raised her head and took a step forward nervously: "Well, are you okay?"
"Of course it's okay. Otherwise, can I still sit here and talk to you?"
Wei Changtian took out a section of the red rope that had turned dark red and was even a little torn, and said with a smile:
"Although the knife is gone, I still keep the token you gave me."
"Ahem, what, I have been tied to the hilt of the knife before, so it looks a bit worn out by the weather, but..."
"Plop!"
Wei Changtian didn't finish what he said, because just before he was halfway through explaining, a beautiful figure suddenly jumped into his arms.
"Woooooooo..."
Feeling the heat and dampness in his chest, Monk Wei Changtian was confused.
"No, I can understand your excitement when you see me, but why are you crying?"
"me......"
Although Xu Qingwan had already identified with Wei Changtian, since the two had never been intimate before, she was inevitably a little embarrassed at the moment.
But she didn't want to let go of Wei Changtian, so in the end she buried her head in the latter's chest like an ostrich, crying with both aggrievedness and relief:
"I, I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
"You, you promised to marry me, and I paid you twenty taels of silver, woo woo woo..."
