The night is dark.

Ji Shangqing is at the head of the bed. He has finished his treatment and is ready to rest.

Qiao Zheng stood aside, carefully sorting the medicine box, as if inadvertently said: "the toxin is not so quickly cleared, I have to come again tomorrow."

Ji Shangqing had just experienced one of the most embarrassing things in his life. He just wanted to send Qiao Zheng away as soon as possible. He quickly agreed: "thank you very much."

Qiao Zheng put the acupuncture box and silk cloth into the box. Looking back at Ji Shangqing, he wanted to say nothing.

Ji Shangqing held back the pain and lay down slowly. As soon as he closed his eyes, Qiao Zheng opened his mouth: "I've put the prescription on the table. The usage and dosage are on the top. Take it on time."

"Thank you very much." Ji Shangqing closed his eyes.

"There's more." Qiao Zheng said.

Ji Shangqing opened his eyes and looked at him.

Qiao Zheng paused: "I saw your wife last time. I always think you are a very good person." He lowered the volume and muttered, "now I think she's the one who has sex."

"What did you say?" Ji Shangqing didn't catch the last sentence.

Qiao Zheng closed the box: "nothing. I'm going back to Lingzhi hall. Goodbye."

Ji Shangqing nodded slightly, and saw Qiao Zheng carrying the box, walking out with the same hands and feet. His posture was very strange, and he didn't know what he was stimulated by.

……

In the hall of the Ming Dynasty, Rong's mother and her servants backed out and closed the door from the outside. She stood at the door and looked at the endless night. At the end of the night, Xun LAN knelt on the ground.

Inside the house, Mrs. Ji took Qiao Wei's hand. Without saying anything, she sighed first.

Qiao Wei's eyes fell on her face as if she had suddenly experienced more vicissitudes. She said in a soft voice, "grandmother, what do you want to say to me?"

"It's about the big lady." Mrs. Ji sighed helplessly, "I know that Mingxiu won't recognize her as a mother. She's younger and a continuation. But anyway, she's your father's wife and your mother."

Qiao Wei said with a smile: "what grandma said is."

Mr. Ji said: "you may not know about Xun. Xun lived in Ji's family for several years before he married your father. He got along well with everyone. She's a proper person. She's always been very disciplined. What I want to talk with you may not be appropriate, but if I don't understand some things, I'm afraid you will misunderstand everyone. "

Qiao Wei laughs, we mean

Ji Laofu said: "today's thing is that Zhou's family has gone too far, but I hope you don't put this account on Xun's head."

"I won't, grandmother."

It's no wonder that Zhou's mother doesn't know who hates her so much.

Mrs. Ji patted Qiao Wei's hand and said, "well, Xun's family is also a poor person. She lost her father when she was young, and her mother remarried. Uncle and uncle treat her badly. Although she is raised in our family, she is not a girl surnamed Ji. I'm afraid she can only understand the hardship if she has been under the fence."

Qiao Wei's heart, I don't think I have a chance to depend on others. How could someone feel pity for her orphan daughter who grew up in a rich family? Without Ji's family, Xun LAN didn't know how miserable his life would be, OK? They are popular every day, they drink spicy food, they wear gold and silver, and a large group of servant girls wait on them. When they go out of the door, they say that they are girls raised in Ji's family. Who dares to despise them? It's just worse than Ji's master.

Mrs. Ji recalled: "she came to Ji's family at the age of six, and was taken back by her aunt Su Xun's family at the age of thirteen. The reason was that her father had arranged a marriage for her before she died. The man hired her, and only when she and her hairpin were married. Because of her parents' orders, Ji's family didn't want to force her to stay, so they let her go with the Xun family. "

Qiao Wei blinks. The ghost who died on the wedding night turns out to be her husband?

"How is the family?" Qiao Wei asked.

Mrs. Ji said: "it's a famous person of Suzhou, and it's a close match with the Xun family."

It's quite different from the Xun family and the Ji family.

"It's a pity that her fiance got smallpox and died that year," sighed Mrs. Ji

Why? It's not the short-lived ghost of wedding night?!

"After that?" Qiao Wei asked again.

Ji Laofu said: "after that, the marriage was cancelled. After the cancellation, I picked her up again. I thought, it's not difficult to find another husband for her. "

I'm afraid that many people think that Xun LAN died of his fiance in Gusu. It's very difficult for Xun LAN to find a good mother-in-law in Gusu.

This is the best way for Xun LAN.

Mrs. Ji added: "she has a bad temper. She has to keep the festival for her dead fiance for three years. This delay has lasted to 18 years. 18、 It's not that big. I've found the marriage. It's the young son of Yuan Da's family

Zhongshuling is an official who can help the emperor deal with government affairs in the palace. He is a close official of the emperor and is highly valued by the emperor. The former zhongshuling family's legitimate son is no worse than the girl of the Ji family."This time Why didn't it work? " Qiao Wei asked softly.

Mrs. Ji said: "this time, she is very healthy, and her fiance is also strong. However, she was angry that the man eloped with a girl in the brothel the night before the wedding!"

Qiaowei is stunned. What else? The ancients are also so bold and unconstrained?!

There was a trace of resentment on Mrs. Ji's face: "afterwards, the yuan family found the rebellious son, tied him to the door to apologize, and said that this kind of thing would never happen again. They would treat Xun as if they were their own. But how dare we let Xun marry such a man? Isn't that pushing Xun into the fire pit? "

So, this is not a short-lived ghost on wedding night.

Little stepmother, how many times did she go through before she and Ji Shangqing got married?

Mrs. Ji shook her head and said, "she's broken. No matter how much we try to persuade her, she won't marry. She shaved her head and went to the temple to be her aunt. She was 21 years old. This year, I met a good young man. "

"Who met it?"

Qiao Wei a words asked old lady Ji to live, old lady Ji hesitated, said: "your father."

Mrs. Ji said regretfully, "Xun is also very satisfied with him. He thought he could make it, but he died on his wedding night."

This is the short-lived ghost of wedding night.

Old lady Ji lowered her eyes sadly. For a moment, Qiao Wei felt that she seemed to have something to hide. But the next second, she sighed and said, "the family and Xun are very upset. I'll let your father take Xun back."

Did you let me, or Father's going on his own?

"It was in the south of the Yangtze River. It was a long way. Unfortunately, I met a group of robbers when I came back..." Speaking of this, Mrs. Ji stopped. Even if she didn't say anything, Qiao Wei guessed it through her expression.

Xunlan was destroyed all his life. Ji Shangqing felt guilty and proposed to marry her.

This may have been strongly opposed by everyone at that time, especially Ji Shuang, but Ji Shangqing insisted on marrying. The old lady nodded her head and Xun LAN passed by.

When Mrs. Ji thought of something, she said, "they don't know about that, and they don't know about Wan Wan."

"Does Mingxiu know?" Qiao Wei asked.

Mrs. Ji nodded: "he knows. Xun's family has fallen ill and it's difficult to raise him. She gave birth to brother Liu. I don't know if she didn't raise him well in her womb. Brother Liu was born weak, like Jing Yun Wangshu and two calves. "

The little stepmother is really a character. Her marriage is so bumpy, it's like all the bad things in the world make her meet alone. Yes, no one doubts that there may be something else in it? Can it be that she has offended someone, or the Ji family has offended someone, or it's just -

, or nothing can change the fact that the little stepmother married into the Ji family.

After that, Mrs. Ji talked with Qiao Wei about Xun's trivia. Qiao Wei understood what Mrs. Ji meant. She didn't want Qiao Wei to put the account of Zhou's mother on Xun Lan's head. Qiao Wei immediately generously said that she would be filial to her mother-in-law. The old lady was very happy and even more pleased with Qiao Wei's granddaughter-in-law. She praised Qiao Wei for her understanding of advance and retreat.

"It's just not virtuous enough." Out of Tongyuan, Qiao Wei stretches comfortably.

Bi'er comes up and puts Qiao Wei in a robe: "it's cold. It's freezing carefully."

Qiao Wei yawned: "where's my father?"

Bi'er tied the ribbon to Qiao Wei: "the master has gone back. He said that he would come back to see Master Ji tomorrow."

Qiao Wei pick eyebrow, all don't wait for her to say a few words of, really is married out of daughter, pour out of water.

……

Qiao Wei goes back to qinglianju. Two steamed buns turn over on her bed. Xiaobai learns from them and turns over from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed.

Qiao Wei couldn't help laughing. She walked over and touched their backs. "They're all wet. This bath is for nothing."

Wang Shu is bouncing around on the bed, laughing and saying: "it's so warm!"

The whole Ji's underground is covered with the same earthworm as the imperial palace. Can it not be warm?

Qiao Wei brings hot water, wipes their backs, changes their dry clothes, and is about to let them go back to their room to have a rest. Bi'er comes in in a hurry: "madam! My uncle is back! "

It's said that the two steamed buns that Mingxiu came back refused to sleep anyway. Wangshu didn't wear any shoes and ran out barefoot. Jingyun wanted to run too. Qiao Wei pressed them on the bed.

Qiao Wei puts on shoes and cotton padded jacket for Jing Yun. Three servant girls run after Wang Shu. Wang Shu's flesh is full, but no one can catch up with him.

They could catch up with each other. They couldn't even reach the corner of Wangshu's clothes.

Chan'er was so tired that she rolled her eyes: "what child? How can you run like this... "

Chan'er is lying down, and Yan'er can't run any more. Only bi'er is still doggedly chasing. It's so easy to finally catch up with Wangshu. Just as she is about to stretch out her hand and pick up the naughty little thing, she sees a carriage parked at the door. Without leaving a person, Wangshu pours on the person and bumps him into the door.With a bang, father and daughter fell on the floor of the carriage.

Ji Ming Xiu knot solid solid hit for a while, the head all hit muddle, but tightly embrace her, a moment also didn't let go.

Wang Shu was lying on him, his fleshy little hand hugged his neck, and gave him a mouthful on his face: "Dad!"

Looking at the sweaty little guy, Ji Mingxiu's heart suddenly became soft, and he rubbed her little head: "Dad's back, do you want dad?"

Wang Shu blinks her eyes and nods like garlic.

Ji Mingxiu gently raised his lips: "Dad also wants you."

Wangshu hugs him and rubs his head in his arms.

Ji Mingxiu picked her up and wrapped her in her arms with a cloak.

"If you don't wear shoes, I'll tell you you're dead..." Qiao Wei pulls back the curtain, and Ji Mingxiu comes out with Wangshu in his arms. Wangshu is wrapped in his cloak and only shows a small round head.

Qiao Wei's vision moved and ran into his deep eyes.

He looked at Qiao Wei steadily, and Qiao Wei also looked at him stupidly, thinking that it was not easy to pass these days on the way. His eyes were tired, and there was a faint cyan around his lips. Wangshu was stretching out a small hand from his cape to touch his beard.

This scene, inexplicably moving.

Qiao Wei's eyes moved: "you're back."

"Well, I'm back." Ji Mingxiu stepped out of the carriage with Wangshu in his arms.

Jing Yun finally ran to the end, wheezing and gasping. Seeing that his younger sister had been carried into his arms by his father, he felt delicious.

Even if you can't beat your sister, how can you run?

Ji Mingxiu rubs his son's head. Jing Yun's face turns red. Seeing that his father has an empty hand, he reaches out his hand.

If you can't hold it, it's good to hold it.

But just as he was about to reach his father's hand, he took his mother's hand.

Father Ming took his mother and sister in his arms, and walked towards the house.

Looking at the figure of three people leaving, Jingyun roars in his heart. Have you forgotten something?!

……

A group of people into the green lotus house, Jing Yun's small face stinky, he was angry, Ming dad and he talked, he never pay attention to!

Ji Mingxiu went into the room: "Jingyun, what would you like to have for supper?"

Jing Yun: "baozi!"

A family of four spent a little midnight, the children yawned, leaned together and fell asleep. The two of them carried each other back to the room.

"Sleep by yourself?" Ji Mingxiu had some accidents.

"Yes." Qiaoweila over the quilt, respectively to cover the two.

Xiaobai lies on his back and pats his belly.

Qiaoweila had a mini quilt sewn with a handkerchief and covered Xiaobai's stomach.

The three little ones fell asleep.

Qiao Wei looks at them, even her heart is warm.

Qiaowei turns back, the door is open, jimingxiu is no longer there, Qiaowei turns her lips, really still angry? Then why did you just hold her hand? For children?

Asshole!

Qiaowei stamped her feet and went back to her room.

Ji Mingxiu sat in the room, as if waiting for her. Qiao Wei pretended not to see her. She went straight in front of him, opened the wardrobe and began to choose the bedroom clothes.

Ji Mingxiu said: "you still have nothing to say to me?"

"No!" Qiao Wei is very angry. She's so angry with her. What can I say?

"I have." Ji Mingxiu said.

Qiao Wei was stunned. She almost turned around, but she held back. She heard his deep voice coming from behind: "I remember I told you that Xun LAN and I didn't have the kind of relationship you thought."

Qiao Wei said bitterly: "what kind of relationship do I want to have? I have never doubted the pure friendship between you, madam's little bamboos and horses

Ji Mingxiu's eyes flashed a trace of complexity: "some things, I don't know how to explain to you."

Qiao Wei took a suit of her own bedclothes: "don't explain. I know everything."

"You know?" This time, Huan Ji was confused.

Qiaowei took another set of his, turned around: "well, grandma told me."

Ji Mingxiu frowned suspiciously: "she told you What about Xun LAN? "

Qiao Wei nodded.

"How much?" Ji Mingxiu asked.

Qiao Wei took her clothes to the bathroom, and her voice came from the bathroom: "all of them, I still say that the truth is unknown in the second and third rooms, and let me keep my wife's mouth shut. After all, it's not a very glorious thing. If others know, I'm afraid she can't look up in her life."

Ji Mingxiu said thoughtfully, "it's really a hard thing to say."

"Hard to say? Master Ming, are you talking too lightly? " Qiao Wei came out of the bathroom and looked at him strangely. "If you let the elders of Ji's family know that she's ruined all her life, she'll never set foot in Ji's family, and she'll never see her son or her husband again. She'll be sent to the temple!""The Ji family has no family temple." Ji Ming mends the right path.

"Temple!" Qiao Wei stares round the eye son, "her remaining life will spend in the ridicule, these are just not good words in your eyes?"

Ji Mingxiu thinks carefully that once the secret is exposed, Xun LAN may encounter such a situation.

Ji Ming looked at Qiao Wei for two seconds, and suddenly laughed: "when did you become such a Bodhisattva and speak for her?"

Qiao Wei looked at the octagonal lamp under the observation gallery and sighed weakly, "because I'm working hard to be a Ji family! Don't you Ji's family love Xun LAN very much? "

Ji Ming Xiu light way: "just pity her."

Qiaowei dangerously squinted: "so you pity her?"

"I pity not her, but the one who cares about her?" Ji Mingxiu said, "after all, it's my close relative."

You know, father, blood is thicker than water. No matter how you don't deal with it, you still care about each other. Otherwise? How could Ji Shangqing give her such a valuable golden key? Don't say it's for her. Without Mingxiu, does Ji Shangqing know her? However, she could not pull down her face and was afraid that the society would refuse, so she handed it to her for the time being.

"By the way, my father gave me a good thing." Qiaowei took down the gold key on her neck. "My father asked me to keep it. Don't lose it. What's the key to open? It seems very precious. "

Ji Mingxiu looked at the key in his hand. His eyes were just like a meal. In a moment, he put it back on Qiao Wei's neck: "then you will know."

Again, can't you give her a good time?

Qiao Wei gave him a look and put away the key: "I forgot to tell you that my father was hurt. Do you want to see him?"

Ji Mingxiu's look faded: "it's so late, tomorrow."

Why don't you ask?

Just now, he said that he was the closest relative he cared about. He turned around and became so indifferent.

Qiao Wei turned her little mouth and walked towards the bath. As soon as she lifted the curtain, Ji Mingxiu opened her mouth: "there's something else I forgot to tell you."

"What?" Qiaowei turned her head.

Ji Ming looked at her, hesitated several times, and finally said: "no one is more important than you."

Qiao Wei's lips can't help but curl up. She pretends to be calm and enters the bath. Her whole face turns red.

……

When Qiao Wei comes out of the bath, Ji Mingxiu is not there, and her bedclothes are missing. She should have gone to take a bath.

There is more than one bath in qinglianju. It's just this one with bedrooms. It's more convenient.

Qiao Wei wiped her hair, opened his suitcase and took out the luggage one by one. A magnolia hairpin fell on the ground.

This hairpin was left by his mother. He gave it to her as a token of affection. She was angry with suxinzong and threw it away.

After that, she forgot to find it back, and he didn't mention it again. She thought it was lost, but she didn't expect that he was always with her.

It should really be a very important thing.

……

Ji Mingxiu took a bath, shaved, and went back to her room. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Qiao Wei sitting at the head of the bed, holding a Book of medical skills in her hand, quietly looking at it. Her hair was gently curled up, tied in a bun, and fixed with a magnolia hairpin.

Ji Mingxiu's eyes stayed on the hairpin for a long time, then closed the door and went to the bed.

Qiaowei moved in.

He pulled open the quilt and sat down next to her.

Qiao Wei turned a page of the book and found that he was looking at her for a moment. Her eyes were burning. Her cheeks were a little hot. She raised her cold fingertips and pressed them: "I didn't mean to move your things. If you don't like it, I..."

She said, about to take down the hairpin.

Ji Mingxiu took her hand.

His body is full of the faint fragrance of bathing, as well as the unique masculine flavor, which makes his heart want to be crisp.

Qiao Wei put her hair behind her ears and said, "I'll finish it just a little bit."

"Well." Ji Mingxiu looked at her with burning eyes.

Qiao Wei's eyes are long in the book, but Yu Guang flies to his face. In his heart, it's like a gazelle. Bang bang, almost out of his throat.

Qiaowei raised her hand and covered his eyes.

He didn't take away Qiaowei's hand, just gently forward together, soft kiss fell on Qiaowei's cheek.

It seemed that there was a fire on my cheek, which burned to the bottom of my heart in a moment, and the whole person seemed to be hot.

With her hand still in his eyes, Qiao Wei leaned over and looked at the beautiful face. She plucked up her courage and touched his lip.

Ji Mingxiu was slightly stunned.

Qiao Wei pursed her lips, and then she gave them a kiss. She didn't feel enough and covered his lips.

Ji Mingxiu responded to her gently, not violently, but every time she was captivated.

Qiaowei's breathing became rapid gradually. She bit her hands a few times and then pushed him down on the bed and gave him a heavy kiss.……

A quarter of an hour later, they lay flat, covered with quilts, and looked at the top of the tent together. On each other's faces, there were still feelings that had not faded, and a little strange embarrassment.

"Would you like some water?" Ji Mingxiu asked solemnly.

Qiao Wei nodded solemnly: "yes." "And bi'er," he said

Ji Mingxiu put on his clothes and calmly opened the door.

Bi'er happily brings in hot water, and looks at Qiao Wei, who is obviously not wearing clothes, though she has a quilt. Haha, she smiles: "it's a round house at last!"

Qiao Wei smiles and doesn't speak.

Bi'er looks at the hourglass on the wall, smiles a little, "uncle's time is too short."

Qiao Wei stares: are you counting outside?!

Bi Er opened the quilt and saw the red dot on the bed. She was surprised and said, "Oh, falling red!"

Qiao Wei was still smiling and did not speak.

Bi'er excitedly pulls off the sheet and is about to ask Qiao Wei if it hurts badly. However, she suddenly realizes something: "madam, you've had a baby. Where did Luo Hong come from?"

Qiao Wei squinted at her and said, "it's not Luo Hong, it's aunt!"

……

The next day, at dawn, Ji Shangqing was woken up by a loud noise and asked the next person to know that it was Qiao Zheng.

I've never seen a doctor come so early.

Ji Shangqing sat up hard and told people to invite Qiao Zheng in.

Qiao Zheng enters, puts the medicine box on the table, then moves a stool and sits down in front of Ji Shangqing.

Ji Shangqing showed her wrist.

Qiao Zheng took a look, but did not give him pulse, but showed his left index finger: "what is this?"

Ji Shangqing said strangely, "fingers?"

"That's right." Qiao Zheng showed his right index finger again. The difference is that he didn't know if the finger was injured and swollen out of shape. "What about this?"

"What happened to your hand?" Ji Shangqing asked.

Qiao Zheng said: "if you are bitten by a snake, it is the snake that bit you. It bit my finger! It's the same finger. It's also bitten by a snake. Do you think the one bitten is much bigger? "

"What are you trying to say..." In the middle of Ji Shangqing's speech, he suddenly understood his intention, "were you bitten by a snake on purpose? Just for For... "

Qiao Zheng looks at the sky.

Ji Shangqing was so ashamed and angry that he could hardly speak. How could he have such a family!
