Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight: the order!
The second day
on the dinner table
Xiao Ruxue looked at Long Bing'er and then at Xu Qing. Both of them looked calm and ate their meals as if nothing had happened, as if the incident of holding hands and returning to the guest room yesterday did not exist at all.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue's erratic eyes on herself and Long Bing'er, and couldn't help but flick her head: "If you don't eat well, why are you looking around?"
Xiao Ruxue just rubbed her head, smiled, then lowered her head and concentrated on cooking.
Xu Qing turned his head and glanced at Long Bing'er, who happened to meet Xu Qing's eyes. As soon as their eyes touched, they moved in opposite directions.
Xiao Ruxue ate her meal and then secretly glanced at the two people, who were doing nothing unusual, and murmured softly: "It's inexplicable..."
After eating, Xiao Ruxue said for the first time that she had not slept well last night and wanted to go back to sleep. Xu Qing and Long Bing'er were the only two people left in the room.
When Xu Qing was changing Long Bing'er's dressing, Long Bing'er felt something strange coming from her arm. She couldn't help but glared at Xu Qing in shame: "You pinched me again!"
Xu Qing: "I didn't..."
Long Bing'er said dissatisfied: "You obviously have it! You pinched it for so long yesterday and you still..."
Xu Qing: "Don't say what you said is so misleading. I squeezed your hand yesterday."
Long Bing'er hummed: "What else do you want to squeeze?"
Xu Qing couldn't help but cast her eyes downwards and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "I... I'd better change the dressing..."
Long Bing'er: ""...
Long Bing'er's wound has scabbed over, it doesn't matter whether the dressing is changed or not, but...enjoy the process.
night
Xu Qing pushed open the door of Xiao Ruxue's room. Xiao Ruxue was already lying on the bed. Xu Qing walked to the bed and looked at Xiao Ruxue and asked: "What story do you want to hear today?"
Xiao Ruxue turned around, shook her head and said, "I don't want to listen to stories today, I'm so sleepy... I want to sleep, can you go to bed early too?"
Xu Qing asked doubtfully: "You are sleepy in the morning, sleepy at noon, and sleepy at night. Are you going to be sick?"
Xiao Ruxue immediately said, "I'm not! I'm in good health. If you don't believe me, just take a look."
When Xu Qing heard Xiao Ruxue's words, he immediately shook his head: "I...I still won't watch it. You go to bed early. We will return to Beijing in a few days."
After that, Xu Qing helped Xiao Ruxue pull the quilt, tucked the corner of the quilt and rubbed her head.
Xiao Ruxue had already closed her eyes at this time and refused to make any sound.
Xu Qing blew out the lamp, closed the door and walked out.
Xiao Ruxue opened her eyes immediately after hearing Xu Qing walk out, put on her boots, quietly got out of bed, then walked quietly to Long Bing'er's door, put her ear against the wall,
Hearing the voice inside, the expression on his face suddenly became wonderful.
In the whole family, not counting Xu Qing and Xuan'er, she has the lowest martial arts skills. Sister Su is so powerful that she is no match for any of her moves at any time. There is no way to improve her own strength if she fights with Sister Su.
Although she couldn't beat Sister Bing'er, she could persist for a long time, so she could make progress little by little.
If Sister Bing'er also goes home, won't she have a sparring partner in the future?
Moreover, she and Sister Bing'er can be said to have made progress together and are not at a disadvantage.
It's just that Xiao Ruxue didn't expect Sister Bing'er to give in so quickly...
She was right, marrying Xu Qing was really a good deal.
Not only is Sister Su there, but there are also delicious food to eat.
…
In the guest room
Long Bing'er had taken off her clothes and was only wearing an inner lining, revealing her rough waves.
She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Xu Qing who walked in, wondering: "Why are you here? Where is Xue'er?"
Xu Qing said: "She has fallen asleep."
"Oh." Long Bing'er nodded: "You haven't finished telling the story about the female generals of the Yang family yesterday."
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er who was sitting by the bed and wondered, "What can I say if you don't lie down?"
A blush appeared on Long Bing'er's pretty face, she snorted softly and said, "I don't want to lie down and listen to you telling stories. I want to sit and listen. After you finish telling me, I will sleep."
Yesterday, she didn't even know why she impulsively lay in Xu Qing's arms. Now thinking about it, Long Bing'er blushed.
One has no orders from his parents, the other has no words from a matchmaker...
Now that I look back and think about it, I am so unafraid!
Xu Qing looked at the resolute Long Bing'er and asked, "You really don't want to lie down?"
Long Bing'er shook her braid and said firmly: "Don't lie down!"
Xu Qing continued to argue: "Then I will hold your hand and tell you."
Long Bing'er pursed her lips and passed her hand to Xu Qing: "As you..."
As long as they're not lying on the same bed, holding hands or something should be fine.
Yes, pure and aboveboard.
On the night of the third day, Xu Qing was going to tell Xiao Ruxue a story. Xiao Ruxue also went to bed early on the grounds that she was sleepy. This made Xu Qing very confused, but she looked at the motionless figure on the bed who had closed her eyes.
The little girl walked out anyway.
…
fourth day
Today is the day agreed with King Ming.
To be honest, Xu Qing didn't understand why Prince Ming wanted to see him today, but...his money...his talents were still at Prince Ming's house, so he should be careful before he got it.
"Are the Dean and the Second Madam going out?"
When Xu Qing and Long Bing'er left the room and walked to the door of the inn, they saw a man dressed as a waiter approaching them.
Xu Qing was slightly startled when he saw the waiter: "You... aren't you from the shopkeeper? Why did you change into these clothes?"
Isn't the person coming towards me the shopkeeper of Taoyuan Inn from yesterday?
How come you have changed from shopkeeper to waiter?
I heard the man accompanying me and saying with a smile: "The position of shopkeeper was given to the clerk yesterday at the advice of the Second Madam. I will be a waiter for a few days."
Xu Qing patted his shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."
The former shopkeeper didn't take this matter seriously. Anyway, their current positions are just temporary. Now that they are about to return to China Business Academy, what's the point of giving him a few days of pretending to be shopkeeper?
What should I do when I get back to the Guoshangyuan? What else should I do?
The former shopkeeper looked at Xu Qing and then at Long Bing'er, and then said: "Your Excellency, the Second Madam, please forgive me for talking too much. Now the Second Madam is from the Zhao Kingdom's court, and the Dean is from our Chu Kingdom's Imperial Court."
There are many spies of the prince in Liuzhou City. Although the dean said that the power of love is great, if those spies see it and report to the prince, even if the dean is dedicated to serving the country,
But it is inevitable that he will be accused of colluding with officials of other countries."
Xu Qing smiled and shook his head when he heard this and said, "You don't have to worry about this."
The former shopkeeper of Taoyuan said in confusion: "The dean and the second lady are..."
Xu Qing pulled Long Bing'er out and said, "It's by decree!"
