I brought down Bai Yueguang by selling miserably

Chapter 123

淮城

The thick green shade covered the sky full of sunshine. On a mountain path, a carriage was rushing along the road.

There are some ice cubes in the jade pot in the carriage for coolness, but the weather is still hot and deformed, and the air is filled with soil, leaves, and the unique smell of summer.

"Are you nervous?" Qi Jue lifted the curtain to look at the road the carriage passed, then turned around and teased Su Mingyu.

Su Mingyu took a sip of herbal tea to calm down, leaned back on Qi Jue again, and murmured: "A little bit."

Qi Jue was just joking, but seeing Su Mingyu's listless look, he thought he was really nervous, hugged him and coaxed him: "Why are you nervous, I like you so much, my parents won't dislike you."

"En." Su Mingyu responded in a low voice, leaning on Qi Jue's arms as if obediently: "Aren't you going to reveal some exam questions to me, brother?"

"For example?" Qi Jue asked.

"For example, what aunt and uncle like to eat, what to wear, what are they more interested in..."

Su Mingyu's words didn't seem like a joke, he was used to being prepared in advance, especially when dealing with things he cared about.

Qi Jue chuckled softly: "Do you know what the most famous snack in Huai City is? It's glutinous rice..."

The cicadas outside the carriage were noisy, but Qi Jue's voice was as clear as a stream flowing over jade.

The two chatted for a while, and both were a little tired.There was a slight breeze in the afternoon, but after a short nap, the carriage arrived at Qi Mansion in a blink of an eye.

Qi Jue pulled Su Mingyu out of the car, and what came into view was a tall vermilion gate building, with golden eaves tiles neatly lined up into the distance like fish scales.There are ten steps in front of the door, and ten nurses stand on both sides of the door steps, wearing uniform clothes.

"My brother's mansion is more luxurious than my Tangwang mansion." Su Mingyu joked.

Qi Jue smiled helplessly, took Su Mingyu's hand and walked into the mansion.

"Master." "Hello, Master."

……

The greetings were deafening, but Su Mingyu had enjoyed being surrounded by people when he was a child, so he didn't show any discomfort.

"Master, you're finally back." A girl dressed in pink jumped over excitedly, and was about to hug Qi Jue. She caught a glimpse of Su Mingyu who was at the side, withdrew her hand, and said with a shy smile, "Hi, young lady." .”

Su Mingyu: "..."

Qi Jue couldn't help laughing, and looked at Su Mingyu's gloomy face, he didn't dare to laugh too loudly, he smiled quite reservedly.

"My servant, Xiao Huaxian, is the young master's personal maid." Xiao Huaxian said with a little regret: "It's a pity that I only stayed with the young master for a few years. When the young master was eight or nine years old, he was sent to Wushan School to practice, and he only came back two times a year. three times."

Qi Jue smiled and said, "Is my room tidy?"

"Of course it's packed." Xiao Huaxian said with a slight smile, "Whenever the young master comes back, I didn't prepare it in advance."

She looked at Su Mingyu, suddenly slapped her forehead, and said distressedly: "But I seem to have forgotten to tidy up the guest room, but the young master and young lady don't mind?"

"I don't mind," Qi Jue said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Go and boil the water."

"Obey." Xiao Huaxian went with a group of maids.

Su Mingyu was called Young Madam twice in a row, he was depressed, and looked at Qi Jue with slightly raised eyebrows: "Brother?"

"I followed her words, there is no other meaning." Qi Jue changed the subject and said, "After meeting my parents later, I will take you to the streets and alleys of Huai City. It will be interesting."

"Okay." Su Mingyu replied, as if he didn't care much about it: "But my brother will accompany me back to Su's residence someday. After all, Su Mingzhe is also my half foster father. Then accompany me to Tangtang Stay in the palace for a few days."

"En." Qi Jue naturally would not refuse.

There is a huge bathing pool in the Qi Mansion, and the maids poured flower petals and hot water in the pool, and retreated out.

Qi Jue took off his coat and entered the pool, the water submerged his body.

He looked back at Su Mingyu, and said with a casual joke, "Come down and give me a hug."

When Su Mingyu got off the pool, he actually hugged Qi Jue as he said, his black hair hung down and scattered on his shoulders, before submerging in the water again.

Qi Jue faintly felt a reaction between his body and his.

He pushed Su Mingyu away subconsciously, and felt that this move was a bit inappropriate, after all, it was what he said earlier, even if it was a joke.

"It seems that it's not convenient to move." Qi Jue said this sentence hesitantly, and kissed Su Mingyu's cheek flatteringly: "Will you wash it for me after I finish washing?"

"I'll wash it when my brother finishes washing." Su Mingyu held Qi Jue's hand, inserted his fingers between his fingers, and kissed Qi Jue deeply, his lips and tongue intertwined, it was so sweet that it made people's heart ache trembling.

After the kiss ended, Su Mingyu rubbed Qi Jue's face affectionately: "I'll leave my hair for my brother to wash."

There is still a warm touch between Qi Jue's lips, and his mind is even more uncertain.But after all, it's not on the bed, Qi Jue is not very used to doing intimate things in the water.

What's more, half an hour later is when Su Mingyu will meet with his elders, so it's really not good to be so presumptuous.

Qi Jue buried his whole body in the water to wake up for a moment, and gradually calmed down.

After he washed his body, Su Mingyu was almost finished.

Qi Jue gently brushed Su Mingyu's hair, and took the saponins not far away.

Qi Jue has never washed someone's hair before, and this is the first time he has ever done it.He rubbed the saponins on Su Mingyu's hair in a somewhat rusty way, and rubbed it lightly, the white and fine foam floated up, and fell into a few balls on the water surface.

Su Mingyu was very quiet, as quiet as a beauty.

Qi Jue rubbed for a while, then rinsed the foam from his hair with clean water.

After washing and drying, half an hour has passed.The two changed into clean coats and walked towards the lobby.

Su Mingyu kept recalling what Qi Jue said a few hours ago in his mind.

Qi Jue's father was honored as the Nine Banished Immortals by the world. Apart from being a businessman, he was also highly accomplished in literature. He was a famous poet, and his martial arts were even ranked high in the Jianghu.I like to meet my confidant in my life, but I hate the hypocritical and fickle people the most.

As for Qi Jue's mother, she is a young lady from a wealthy family who does not leave her home. She is innocent and gentle, and has the air of a little daughter.Because she was born in a scholarly family, she is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and her thinking is much more enlightened than that of ordinary women.

Su Mingyu recalled their preferences and characteristics, and adjusted his way of getting along with others in a targeted manner.

The meeting went very smoothly, even a bit of fun.After the heart-to-heart talk, Su Mingyu left the hall first, leaving enough time for Qi Jue and his elders to get along with each other.

Qi Jue's father, Qi Zongtang, sighed lightly, and said: "This kid is excellent in every aspect, but it seems, I don't know if it's my illusion, I always feel that he is not sincere. It seems that there is a layer of fog behind him, so that people can see him." Can't read his mind."

"It should be related to his past experience." Qi Jue thought of Su Mingyu, and suddenly felt distressed: "He just hopes that you can like him. He has never known how to please others. He always feels that as long as he is good enough, he is good enough. That's enough, but I don't know that the thing that can bring people closer in the world is always sincerity."

"It seems that you have already seen through him." Qi Zongtang said.

"Hmm." There seemed to be too many unspeakable emotions in Qi Jue's eyes, his voice was soft and gentle: "Actually, he doesn't need to be sincere in front of everyone, he just needs to be sincere in front of me."

"You have said that, so what else can I say." Qi Zongtang showed a relieved smile on his face.

Mrs. Qi also smiled and said: "It seems that our son really likes him, that child is really good-looking, even more handsome than you were back then."

"Why should I compare myself to him?" Qi Zongtang retorted softly, "I'm only in that age, and our son can also know my demeanor back then."

"You're still jealous of the younger generation." Mrs. Qi said with a low smile.

Qi Zongtang coughed twice, and said: "This time you come back, stay for a few more days, and take Mingyu out for a stroll. Now that you have become a family, don't be careless. Although our Qi Mansion has a great family, we have never The tradition of taking concubines."

"Don't worry about that, our son seems to be single-minded." Mrs. Qi asked softly: "Is the date of your marriage set at the beginning of next month?"

Qi Jue smiled and said, "Well, if there are no accidents."

"That's great." Mrs. Qi clapped her hands lightly: "Just enough for me to make your wedding dress, I think how fit the summer dress I made for Xiaojue back then."

Qi Jue thought of the summer clothes with thread flying all over the place a few years ago, the smile on his face faded by two points, and he said with a little regret: "It has been entrusted to the Jinyifang in the Imperial City to make it."

Qi Zongtang recalled, laughed twice, put his arm around Mrs. Qi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it."

Qi Jue didn't stay for too long, and went out of the lobby to find Su Mingyu.

Su Mingyu sat in the gazebo by the pond, quietly watching the fish floating in the water, and when he saw Qi Jue approaching, a very bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Qi Jue couldn't help but grabbed Su Mingyu's hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to Huai City."

Huaicheng is a famous city of flowers.No matter what season it is, the streets and alleys are full of flowers of various colors, and are covered by thick green shade. Even in summer, it is not hot, but it feels like spring all the year round.

"This is one of Huaicheng's specialty glutinous rice lotus cakes, but it's a little sweet. I liked it more when I was a child." Qi Jue helped Su Mingyu open it and handed it to his mouth: "Try it."

"Well, it's as sweet as my brother." Su Mingyu turned his face and kissed the corner of Qi Jue's mouth: "It's delicious."

Su Mingyu's words were too ambiguous, Qi Jue pinched his face, and said solemnly: "I'm salty."

Su Mingyu held back his laughter very hard: "Well, brother Qi is salty."

Taking advantage of no one around, he quickly kissed Qi Jue on the other side of his mouth: "It's delicious too."

Qi Jue clenched his hand helplessly, and said softly, "I'll take you to eat better."

A large area of ​​tree shade retreated quickly, and the brocade on Qi Jue's clothes was hidden in the shadows of flowers and light, gorgeous and dazzling, making people feel like they were in a dream.A bright summer dream.

Lotus root, sweet and sour fish, beggar chicken with wormwood, bean curd rice noodles, mutton soup dumplings...

Qi Jue took Su Mingyu to eat all the way from the afternoon to the evening, even the dinner was settled outside.

"Is it hot?" Qi Jue looked at Su Mingyu who was leaning on him, and asked with a low smile.

"A little bit." Su Mingyu murmured, but he was unwilling to let go of Qi Jue.

"Take you to a good place." Qi Jue lightly poked Su Mingyu's face.

"Where?" Su Mingyu asked in a low voice.

“Great place to chill out.”

It was a jade pond. The bottom of the pond was a large ice rock, and there were eight springs on the side. The ice water flowed into the pond from the springs.Surrounded by misty and slightly cool mist, it looks like a fairyland in a fairyland.

"This place is called Yuchi Garden." Qi Jue said, "There is a jade beast every five meters in the garden, which is filled with ice cubes. Every day, many people from Huaicheng come here to cool off."

"Wouldn't the common people smash the jade and take it away?"

"It happened before, and then there were more guards at the door." Qi Jue said softly.

"If you like, we can come here every summer to enjoy the cool air." Qi Jue said again: "If you don't like the hustle and bustle, Qi Mansion will also build a jade pond in the mansion soon."

"I like here."

Su Mingyu stretched comfortably, lazily hugged Qi Jue beside him like a kitten, and leaned into his arms.

"Do you think it's good to live here?" Qi Jue's voice was soft and soft, like a honey trap set step by step by a very patient hunter in order to get his beloved prey.

Su Mingyu always felt that Qi Jue was being more considerate to him today, but now he realizes that it is not an illusion.

He smiled and said: "That's right, but if I occasionally have to go to the court in the morning, it will be troublesome to live here. Even if the carriage is faster, it will take two or three hours to get to the palace."

"I can send you off." Qi Jue held Su Mingyu's shoulders, and said close to his ear, "You live in my house, and I will ask a carriage to carry you to the morning court at dawn and Yinshi. I will never wake you up, and I will guarantee you to sleep How about till dawn?"

"Brother, your ability to coax people is really good." Su Mingyu was almost amused, he thought for a while, and indulged: "In fact, this place is also very good, from now on we will be here every summer, and the rest of the time we will live in Tangwang Mansion .”

"Then our wedding day..."

"Since it's summer, let's stay in Qi Mansion." Su Mingyu followed Qi Jue's words.

"Are you really willing..." Su Mingyu agreed so readily, Qi Jue couldn't help hesitating.

"For the sake of my brother, I am willing." Su Mingyu said with a smile, resting his head on Qi Jue's neck.

With Su Mingyu's current status, even if they get married, they must be in his mansion.Qi Jue's heart couldn't help throbbing, he lowered his head and gently kissed him on the forehead: "I will definitely give you the most unforgettable bridal chamber wedding night."

Qi Jue and Su Mingyu stayed in Qi Mansion for more than half a month before setting off to Su Mansion to meet Su Mingzhe, and then returned to the newly built Tangwang Mansion.

Tang Wang Mansion has just been repaired, but many guards have been added, and now they are all standing on both sides of the gate of the mansion, there are more than ten people.

Qi Jue laughed and said, "Why are you in the same battle as the Qi Mansion."

"It's different." Su Mingyu let go of Qi Jue's hand silently: "Brother, I'll go and ask Uncle Liang to prepare the accompanying carriage."

"En." Qi Jue didn't doubt that he was there, and was about to step into the gate of the mansion when there was a sudden sound of kneeling and prostrating at the door.

Even Qi Jue, who had seen the big scene, couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and before he could recover, a uniform voice rang out: "My subordinates see Princess Tang!"

The chirping of cicadas in midsummer was so disturbing that Qi Jue moved his lower finger silently: "Su Mingyu!"
