Chapter 448

The courtyard became quiet for a while.

Luo Qingzhou suddenly said: "Second Miss, why are you looking at me like this? You don't think that the eldest princess's last condition is for me, do you?"

Second Miss Qin said with a half-smile, "Brother Qingzhou, isn't it? With your talent, it's more than enough to get the top prize."

Luo Qingzhou smiled bitterly and said: "Under normal circumstances, there should be no problem. But the second young lady may have forgotten that the number one scholar is not an ordinary examination, but requires a palace examination and needs to be designated by the emperor himself. The second young lady feels that today the emperor will appoint me Is it the number one scholar?"

Second Miss Qin thought for a while and said, "It is indeed unlikely. However, if Brother Qingzhou performs too well in the palace examination, the Holy Emperor may have to give you the top prize because of the dignity of the officials. It is also possible. "

Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said: "This is no longer possible. Once the condition of the eldest princess comes out, the number one scholar should be determined directly."

Miss Qin Er pondered for a moment and said: "The reason why the eldest princess proposed this condition is to continue to delay the time of getting married, right, brother Qingzhou?"

Luo Qingzhou said: "Maybe, we can't guess what the eldest princess is thinking. Anyway, the people in the palace, the queen mother, the eldest princess, and even the little emperor are all powerful, so we just try to stay away from them."

Miss Qin Er said: "Didn't Brother Qingzhou agree to help the eldest princess?"

Luo Qingzhou said: "We can only do what we can. The eldest princess is in the palace now, and I can't go there to help her."

The two talked for a while, and the night gradually fell.

The two of them are getting married the day after tomorrow, and according to the rules, they can't stay together for these two nights.

Luo Qingzhou stood up and said goodbye.

Second Miss Qin sent him to the door and asked Qiu'er to take him back with a lantern.

When Luo Qingzhou was about to stop him, Miss Qin Er said softly: "Brother Qingzhou, Weimo wants to tell you in advance. After we get married the day after tomorrow, Qiu'er may help Weimo have a bridal chamber with you. Can brother Qingzhou accept this?" ?”

Qiu'er was holding a lantern, her head lowered, standing aside, her cheeks were slightly red, and under the light, they looked bright and moving.

Luo Qingzhou said: "Second Miss, actually you don't have to have a bridal chamber."

"Of course I want the bridal chamber."

Miss Qin Er said firmly: "Brother Qingzhou, you don't need to have any other rules, but this process must be there. There are provisions in etiquette and law. If the bride is unwell, the bride's maid can temporarily do it for her. If there is no wedding, If so, it doesn’t count as a marriage.”

Luo Qingzhou was surprised: "Is there such a thing in etiquette?"

Miss Qin Er nodded and said: "Of course, brother Qingzhou, hasn't you read the etiquette carefully? The etiquette..."

She suddenly stopped talking, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Qingzhou, just listen to Weimo, okay?"

Immediately, she lowered her voice and said slightly shyly: "Brother Qingzhou, when the time comes, Weimo will try... try to have sex with you. If it doesn't work, let Qiuer take over. Qiuer is Weimo's person. , I am also Qingzhou Brother’s person, I hope Qingzhou Brother will not dislike it..."

Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "I don't dislike...Second Miss, then...then I will listen to you."

Second Miss Qin smiled slightly, turned to look at Qiu'er and said, "Go and take my uncle back."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qiu'er blushed, carried a lantern, walked out the door and walked in front.

Luo Qingzhou said goodbye to Miss Qin Er and followed behind.

The two walked in tandem for a while, and when they were about to arrive at the Immortal Residence, Luo Qingzhou suddenly asked: "Qiu'er, um... are you willing to have a bridal chamber with me?"

Qiu'er said softly: "Uncle, of course I am willing. When I was in Mocheng, I was already willing."

Luo Qingzhou didn't know what to say.

Soon we arrived at the Immortal Residence.

Qiu'er sent him to the door and was about to turn around to leave, when Luo Qingzhou suddenly said: "Qiu'er, I won't treat you as a maid. You are just like Xiaodie. I will treat you well."

Hearing this, Qiu'er smiled sweetly and said: "Uncle, this slave does not dare to compare with Xiaodie. Even my young lady does not dare to compare with Xiaodie. Young Master, as long as you are good to my young lady, this slave will always follow you." My uncle, I serve my uncle."

Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "Of course I will be kind to the second young lady."

Qiu'er smiled, slightly blessed, bowed her head and left.

Luo Qingzhou looked at her slender back. After the back disappeared, he turned around and entered the small courtyard.

Xiaodie was in the room, helping him wipe the desk, window sill and other places.

Luo Qingzhou entered the room, hugged her from behind, and recounted exactly what the second young lady had just said to him and the conversation with Qiu'er.

After hearing this, Xiaodie said with a happy face: "Master, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. Master, I can finally be with the second young lady, and I can finally live with Sister Qiu'er."

Luo Qingzhou was suddenly jealous: "Xiaodie, are you having an affair with Qiu'er?"

Xiaodie wondered: "Why are we having an affair? My slave girl and Sister Qiu'er are good sisters, and there is also Sister Xiaotao."

Luo Qingzhou asked curiously: "By the way, Xiaodie, who is Xiaotao? Why have I never seen her before?"

The smile on Xiaodie's face faded slightly, and she sighed and said: "Sister Xiaotao has some problems with her legs and can't walk, so she rarely comes out. But sister Xiaotao is very good at embroidery, playing the piano, playing the flute, making clothes, etc. Wait, I know how to do it. My slave girl's embroidery and clothing making skills are all based on Sister Xiaotao's. Sister learned from it. Everyone's clothes in the house are also made by Sister Xiaotao. By the way, Master, you have two Confucian robes, the blue one and the white one. They were all made by Sister Xiaotao. I heard that Madam is going to open a clothing workshop, and Sister Xiaotao will be in charge of it."

Luo Qingzhou asked: "What's wrong with her legs?"

Xiaodie shook her head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, since I first saw Sister Xiaotao, I saw her sitting in a wheelchair."

Luo Qingzhou said: "It's pitiful, but compared to others, Xiao Tao's life is much more valuable."

Xiaodie nodded and said: "That's right, Sister Xiaotao is diligent and powerful. I heard that Madam has lost her temper with everyone, but she has never lost her temper with Sister Xiaotao. When we moved from Mo City to Kyoto, Sister Xiaotao was also in advance. The one who was sent here, Madam loves her very much."

Luo Qingzhou picked her up, placed her on the table next to her, and said, "Xiaodie, the young master also loves you."

"Sir, it's not time to go to bed yet..."

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?"

Luo Qingzhou kissed her little mouth and said, "I'm going to tell the eldest lady a story. If you feel sleepy, go to bed first. I may come back later."

Xiaodie said quickly: "Master, you...you..."

Luo Qingzhou said: "What's wrong?"

Xiaodie hesitated for a moment and said, "No, it's okay."

Luo Qingzhou turned around and returned, hugging her Xianyue and saying: "Xiaodie, forget it when you go to bed at night, why are you still hesitating now? If you have anything to say, just say it, Master, I won't blame you. .

Xiaodie said weakly: "Master, according to the rules, the master will marry the second lady the day after tomorrow. He cannot see other women for these two nights. What's more, the eldest lady is... the master's..."

Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled when he heard this, paused, and said, "Then I'll go tell Bai Ling to prevent them from waiting."

Xiaodie quickly added: "Sir, it actually doesn't matter, and no one else knows about it. And the second young lady is so nice, she won't care."

Luo Qingzhou said no more and turned around and left the room.

Xiaodie was secretly annoyed: Am I... talking too much? If Sister Bailing and the others knew, would they blame me?

When Luo Qingzhou arrived at Lingchan Moon Palace, the courtyard door was open.

Bai Ling was sitting alone at the stone table in the small courtyard, humming a song and pounding medicine.

The garden is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Luo Qingzhou knocked on the door, then went in and said, "Brark, let me tell you that I won't go to the back garden to tell stories to the eldest lady tonight. I'll wait a few days."

When Bai Ling heard this, he stopped mixing the medicine and asked doubtfully, "Why? Isn't my uncle already here?"

Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment, but finally told the rules: "I will get married to the second lady the day after tomorrow, so these two nights... are not very convenient."

Bai Ling blinked, stood up and said, "Uncle, what's the inconvenience for you? I'm getting married the night after tomorrow. Will I start recharging my energy today? But I'm here just to tell stories, not to do anything that consumes my energy. It’s a thing, isn’t it?”

The corner of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched and he could only say: "Bailing, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that according to the rules, I can't go out to see other women during the first two nights of marriage, especially at night. . That...it should be written in the "Great Flame Etiquette", right?

Bai Ling suddenly laughed and said, "Have you seriously read "The Great Yan Etiquette"?"

Luo Qingzhou said: "I've probably seen it before, so there should be this rule."

Bai Ling chuckled, with two cute dimples on his face, and said crisply: "Uncle, you misunderstood. The etiquette means that in the first two nights of marriage, a man cannot go out to meet other unscrupulous people. Women, you can't go to a brothel or stay out all night. Do you think Xia Chan, I, and the eldest lady are bad women?"

Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course not."

Bai Ling shrugged and said, "That's it. My uncle came to tell us stories tonight and he didn't break the rules. The three of us are my uncle's family, so we can meet."

"family?"

Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled.

Bai Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, uncle, do you think we are not your family? Is it Chanchan, or am I not, or is it the eldest lady?"

Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "That's not what I meant. Bai Ling, since the etiquette says so, it's okay. Is the eldest lady in the back garden? Let's go to the back garden."

He decided to find the "Great Flame Etiquette" after he went back and read it carefully to avoid making such stupid mistakes again.

When I first glanced at it, I didn't look through the entries because I had no interest in marriage.

Now it seems that it is time to understand a little more so as not to make another joke.

"Uncle, wait a minute, I've put the medicine away."

Bai Ling quickly picked up the medicine jar and ran back to the room.

Luo Qingzhou followed behind, and as soon as he entered the house, he suddenly felt the communication treasure in the storage bag move.

He hesitated for a moment, glanced left and right, took it out immediately, and looked at it intently.

It turned out to be from Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue: [Brother, brother, good brother! I'm out tonight and have come to the outer city! Where is brother? I miss you so much! I want to see you right away and give you a sweet kiss! If you don't like it, I've brought socks with me.]
