When it was time to hold the lantern, Xie Yu'an sent Qiao Yin back to the Marquis of Jing'an.
"Should the wish box be left to me for safekeeping?" Xie Yu'an suggested, "I'm afraid you'll cheat and take a peek in advance."
Qiao Yin held her forehead, and he guessed it again! !
She did have such an idea.
Being cut off, Qiao Yin had no choice but to hand over the wish box to him.
"Where do you want to go tomorrow?" Xie Yu'an asked again.
Qiao Yin was thinking about tomorrow's plan, when suddenly there were rapid footsteps outside, and a guard reported outside the carriage: "General, news from the palace, Concubine Lu is dead."
The two people in the carriage were both shocked. Qiao Yin thought for a while and guessed: "Concubine Lu wants to trade her own death for the safety of the third prince and the Lu family?"
Xie Yuan nodded: "Probably."
Qiao Yin didn't know what to think, so he just said: "Then you can't rest tonight."
"It's okay." Xie Yu'an said, "I'm just afraid I won't be able to accompany you tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter, business matters."
"Then I'll send a car to pick you up tomorrow when I'm done?"
Qiao Yin nodded, "Okay."
The two separated, and Qiao Yin returned to his courtyard. Bi Zhu was counting money on the table with a lamp on. There was a pile of broken silver and even some copper plates piled on the table.
"Bizhu, are you rich?" Qiao Yin asked curiously.
Bizhu said with a smile: "This is the head fee I earned, two hundred taels!"
"Is it true that the capitation fee is paid by the imperial court?"
Qiao Yin looked at the pile of broken silver on the table suspiciously. The court was handing out rewards and at least gave them a round number. Why were there still copper coins in the scattered pieces?
Bi Zhu shook her head: "It will take a few months to submit to the court for approval and so on. Brother Wangshan said he would give me my share first."
Hey, hey, in the beginning he was still 'the bodyguard beside General Xie', but now he is called 'Brother Wangshan'.
"Really? Then he is quite nice?" Qiao Yin smiled but said nothing.
Bizhu made a fair comment: "He is quite good, but his martial arts skills are a bit too weak."
Qiao Yin wanted to find Qiao Mo, "Brother, are you going out today?"
Bi Zhu was very excited when she heard this, "The eldest son went to Yingtian Academy again today and brought another big bag!"
Qiao Yin was startled, and Bizhu added: "However, this time it's not bear skin, it's rabbit fur gloves, rabbit fur collar, rabbit fur hat, rabbit fur cloak..."
Bi Zhu counted on her fingers: "Many, many, a full sack."
Although it's still a little unreliable, it's considered thoughtful.
Qiao Yin got up and came to Qiao Mo's yard. Qiao Mo was holding his nose with one hand and watering the camellias in the yard with a kettle in the other hand, humming a cheerful ditty.
"Brother, why are you so happy?" Qiao Yin looked at him with a smile.
When Qiao Mo saw someone, he threw the kettle aside with a clang, put his hands behind his back and walked away quickly.
"It's nothing. I just have to go to the military camp to take up my post the day after tomorrow. I'm happy."
Qiao Yin didn't listen and walked quickly to the camellia: "Oh, why is this flower infested with insects? Is it going to be sick?"
"Where is it? Let me see!"
Qiao Mo immediately rushed over after hearing this, without even covering his nose. As a result, he didn't see the bug and sneezed three times in a row.
Qiao Mo held his nose and said dissatisfiedly: "I've learned too much from Xie Yu'an!"
Qiao Yin looked at Qiao Mo's insincere expression and said with a smile: "Brother likes Wanran as much as he likes her. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Qiao Mo is indeed not the kind to be coy. He said in his first words: "Miss Xue is indeed very good. I scared her to tears yesterday, but she was not annoyed. She even made me tea today. Jasmine tea is very fragrant!" "
Qiao Mo seemed to be still thinking about it, emphasizing the last three words - 'especially fragrant'!
Bizhu couldn't help but said: "Master, aren't you allergic to pollen and hate the smell of flowers?"
Qiao Mo glanced at Bi Zhu and said, "Go and count your coins."
Qiao Yin thought to herself that Qiao's father didn't know when he would be able to return to Beijing. The sooner Qiao Mo's marriage was arranged, the better, so as not to miss out on a good marriage.
So, she pulled Qiao Mo to the study room, which was usually just for decoration, and said seriously: "My father has made great contributions, and my eldest brother also has an official position. Naturally, there is no big problem in our life experience. But the Xue family only has one daughter, Wanran. Compared with the family, After all this time, Wanran's parents must value her husband's sincerity towards Wanran. Big brother, if you get married, will you follow the example of those young men outside who keep having concubines and raising their aunts? "
"What are you talking about!" Qiao Mo said angrily, "We only have one daughter in our family. If anyone dares to marry you and has sex with you, I won't break his legs. I treat other people's girls the same way I treat others. Let’s support each other with one heart and one mind!”
Qiao Yin was very moved when she heard this, but it was a pity that the real Qiao Yin was no longer there, and she had taken advantage of her by occupying the magpie's nest.
I hope she can make up for the absurdity of the past year as soon as possible.
"Since eldest brother has this determination, why not write it down and I'll pass it on to Wanran for you. Maybe you can move her heart." Qiao Yin suggested.
Qiao Mo was startled, "Want to write?"
"Brother is unwilling?" Qiao Yin was surprised.
Qiao Mo said with some embarrassment: "I'm not unwilling, it's just that my brother's handwriting is too ugly."
Qiao Mo thought for a moment, "How about I practice first?"
Qiao Yin thinks it's feasible.
……
The second day.
There are still nine days left before the mission deadline.
Qiao Yin thought that Xie Yu'an was not free today, but she didn't expect that just after lunch, the carriage came to pick her up.
This means that everything in the palace is going well.
Qiao Yin happily went to the appointment, but the general's mansion was still empty. Only the concierge replied, saying that Xie Yu'an was waiting for her in the study.
When Qiao Yin stepped into the study, Xie Yuan was writing something on a piece of red paper.
"What are you writing about?" Qiao Yin walked over curiously.
Xie Yu'an said without raising his head: "The betrothal gift list."
I have to send someone to prepare it quickly. We must get married before the Chinese New Year!
He couldn't wait any longer.
"So fast?" Qiao Yin said in shock.
Xie Yuan looked up at her, with a bit of disappointment and sadness on his face: "You kiss me and hug me, but you don't want to be responsible for me?"
Qiao Yin:......
"Or am I not performing well enough and Miss Qiao is dissatisfied?" Xie Yu'an pulled her into his arms and asked bewilderedly.
Qiao Yin waved his hands in panic, "If you don't perform well, I don't know who can perform better."
"That means you are satisfied. Can I get some rewards?" Xie Yu'an hinted.
Qiao Yin was really unable to resist, so she obediently stamped his face.
Xie Yu'an was very satisfied and took out the wish box from the table.
"Smoke it, it's my wish for today."
Qiao Yin took out one with his hand, saw only the word "abdominal muscles", and immediately stuffed it back.
But Xie Yu'an was faster and intercepted the note in her hand first.
Qiao Yin looked at him with a harmless smile on his face, slowly opened the note with his well-jointed fingers, opened his thin lips lightly, and read out.
"Please Ayin appreciate my abdominal muscles carefully, seriously, and leave nothing out, and make a comment."
Even if it was written down, how come he still read it out.
By following her, will his integrity and integrity be eaten by dogs?
"You can write so many words on such a small piece of paper? Are you cheating?"
Xie Yu'an calmly took away the wish box on the table.
"Forget it, the rest is invalid. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable, Ayin."
Xie Yuan tried to throw away the wish box, but Qiao Yin stretched out his hand to stop it, "Don't throw it away, don't throw it away!"
No matter how timid she was, she couldn't be timid to this point.
How can you not eat the meat that is being fed to your mouth!
Qiao Yin took courage and lowered his head to cast his gaze on Xie Yuan's waist.
Whether it was a coincidence or whether he had expected it, Qiao Yin discovered that Xie Yuan was wearing a double-breasted robe without a belt, and it was loosely open, revealing so much of his looming flesh.
She could naturally have sex without restraint through the phone screen, but such a hot and vivid temptation was placed in front of her. Qiao Yin was so shy that she couldn't stretch out her hand.
Suddenly, her hand was held.
Xie Yu'an held her hand and brought her close to him.
"Don't be shy. This body, from inside to outside, will be yours sooner or later, right?"
Qiao Yin blushed like a cooked shrimp, and the hot touch on her hand seemed to set her on fire.
This was not the Xie Yuan he knew at all!
She didn't know he was so good at deceiving people in private.
Is he some kind of seductive monster? !
"How about it, Teacher Qiao, can you give me some comments?"
"Ah...can you not comment?"
Does he want to embarrass her to death before he gives up? How could he be so evil! !
"Okay, but if you break the rules of the game, will you be punished?" Xie Yuan's smile was still gentle.
Before Qiao Yin could react, her feet were empty, and she was already being carried on the desk by Xie Yuan. Xie Yuan stood up, placed his arms on both sides of her to support the table, and imprisoned her under him.
"Kiss."
Xie Yu'an leaned over and took her soft lips in his, saying it was a kiss, but he had no intention of letting go when he was next to her.
In the quiet study, there was no sound of wind, only the entangled breathing of the two people.
His kiss moved from the corner of her mouth to the sensitive ear beads, and then moved downwards, landing on her collarbone...
Qiao Yin closed his eyes, almost sinking.
Suddenly——
The door opened, and a figure rushed in.
"My good son, mother is here to see you."
