Chapter 71 "Hurry up and leave!"
Xie Qiao picked up the shirt beside the bed and put it on. Just as he was about to tie the belt with his long fingers, he heard the girl's whisper.
The girl's warm hand pressed on his.
He stopped, his shirt loosely on.
The sweat on Xie Qiao's forehead curled his hair, and the curled hair made him look more charming.
Song Jin looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.
Xie Qiao turned around, looked at the girl who was hiding under the quilt because of shyness, and chuckled softly.
The girl's face was still flushed, and the sweat on her neck slowly flowed to the bottom of the quilt as she moved, soaking the quilt.
Xie Qiao bent down, his loose shirt opening wider as he moved. His voice was sticky and sweaty, totally different from during the day.
He leaned close to Song Jin's face and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you just say you couldn't do it? Why do you want it again now?"
"It's not what I want, it's what I do for your sake." The girl turned her face away and ignored him.
For his own good?
He never knew that his Ah Jin actually cared about him so much. After not seeing her for a year, he could only endure it with cold water. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he would think of Song Jin's appearance and relieve himself.
Now she is so considerate...
Xie Qiao's heart softened. He leaned over and kissed Song Jin's cheek, saying to her, "Although it's only once tonight, it's not a short time. Let's leave it at that for today."
Song Jinsong breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Qiao was telling the truth. She felt pain in her waist every time she moved.
If it happened again, she really didn't dare to think about it.
Song Jin nodded obediently. She glanced at the water in the bathroom outside and struggled to get up to take a shower, but Xie Qiao held her down: "What are you going to do?"
"I want to take a shower before going to bed." Song Jin said in a low voice: "My body is too sticky."
"The water in the tub must be a little cold. I'll ask the servants to bring some hot water." Xie Qiao said as he fastened his shirt and prepared to go out.
Song Jin thought Xie Qiao was crazy!
She quickly shouted: "Brother, don't!"
Xie Qiao's lower body tightened at this shout, he clenched his fists and turned to look at her.
The girl was so frightened that she shook her head repeatedly: "Come back soon!"
Xie Qiao would not refuse Song Jin. He walked back to her and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
The girl lowered her voice even more, her tone a little hurried: "Brother, although this is your home, our relationship cannot be known to others. How dare you ask Xiao Luo to come here!"
When Song Jin spoke, her eyes were round.
She grabbed Xie Qiao's sleeve tightly, fearing that he would go out to call for help again. Wasn't he usually the most conservative and polite person?
What is this now that they are like this?
In fact, she felt that their relationship was still very simple.
But no one in the Xie family knew that she was the deceased eldest lady. What if the news got out?
If others knew that the two of them were doing this and that here.
She didn't want to waste her breath.
Xie Qiao could see what the girl was worried about.
Xie Qiao advised: "Don't worry, the Xie family won't gossip and won't spread the news."
Seeing the girl was about to refute again, he continued, "They won't know. I have already ordered Mo Anju and Yuechuan Pavilion not to let anyone in the mansion disturb them. Everything must be communicated."
Only then did Song Jin feel relieved.
She looked outside and said, "Xiao Luo seems to be coming back, you should leave quickly!"
"Ajin, are you going to kick me out now?" Xie Qiao smiled and reminded, "Who just said that they wanted to do it again?"
Song Jin frowned and glared at him: "It's all because of my brother!"
Xie Qiao curled his lips.
Seeing the girl's fierce expression like a little tiger, Xie Qiao decided not to tease her anymore.
If you make someone angry and don't let him come, he will be the one who suffers.
He finally kissed the girl on the cheek, tucked his clothes together, and turned to leave.
Song Jin watched Xie Qiao walk away before she got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom. She touched the water in the bathtub and found it was still very warm.
Song Jin sighed, the things from the Xie family are really the best.
This bathtub is so heat-insulating.
Song Jin soaked himself in, washed himself quickly, and then threw himself back on the bed.
There was still the smell they had left in the bed curtains.
Song Jin opened the bed curtains, and the moonlight and fresh air poured in, diluting the smell in the curtains.
She was obviously a little sleepy, but she couldn't fall asleep.
She was thinking about what Xie Qiao had just said.
What does she want more?
She was obviously thinking about him, wanting him to pay off his debt quickly so that they could become pure brother and sister.
This way he can go find the girl he likes with peace of mind.
How did it become what she wanted?
Song Jin pouted, rubbed her waist, found a dry place on the bed, and fell asleep in a daze.
She has to get up early tomorrow morning to change the quilt and mattress.
She couldn't let Xiaolu find out.
Xie Qiao came out of Yuechuan Pavilion. He paused in the yard for a while, and when he heard the sound of water inside, he turned around and left.
He returned to Mo Anju, cleaned himself up, changed into clean pajamas, and lay down on the bed.
His bed was cold, not as comfortable or warm as Song Jin's bed.
Even though he had just returned, he had already started to miss Song Jin.
He took out the album and looked through it. There was a flower on it that he had drawn with his own hands while holding Song Jin's.
And tonight...
Xie Qiao put the calendar aside.
Song Jin didn't ask, nor did he draw.
Then just pretend it doesn't exist.
As the sunlight gradually warmed up, Xiao Luo quietly pushed open the door and entered the bedroom of Yuechuan Pavilion, carrying a basin of water.
As soon as she entered, she saw Song Jin had already gotten up.
Not only that, she also changed the bedding on the bed.
Xiao Luo was surprised: "Miss! Why did you get up so early in the morning to change the mattress? Just ask me to do it!"
Xie Qiao was afraid that Song Jin would have trouble adapting, so now only Que'er and Xiao Luo were with her in Yuechuan Pavilion.
Xiao Luo would ask the maids to do the sweeping of Yuechuan Pavilion in the morning, and after they finished, they would quietly leave.
Song Jin didn't even know that the maids had been there.
Song Jin got up early today on purpose, fearing that the maids would notice something unusual on the bed.
Song Jin said: "I got up to drink water at night and accidentally wet the mattress. I'll change it. It's not a big job. I can do it myself."
Xiao Luo put down the basin and put away the mattress that Song Jin had changed. "Miss, just call me in the future. There are people to do these things."
Song Jin was silent for a while. She suddenly became curious: "What did those ladies and noble ladies do at home in the past?"
"The ladies have to manage the household and check the accounts, so they are quite busy. The girls read books, learn etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some girls can even do some housework."
These.
Song Jin felt bored after thinking about it: "Is that all? It feels so old-fashioned and boring..."
It doesn't sound as fun as her making pastries.
"Not always," Xiao Luo counted carefully, "Those girls have a lot of gatherings. In the past, they would go to the streets. They would not let themselves be bored. Just take this month as an example. At the beginning of the month, there was the Jinming Pond Spring Banquet. Then there were banquets in various mansions. There were flower viewing and food and drinks. There was also a polo match in two days. The girls would all go."
Song Jin thought those noble ladies never left their houses: "So many!"
"Yes, if the girl is bored, she can go out with Madam to play. The Second Young Master's Madam would also go out in the past, but she was a little bit indifferent afterwards, so Madam is easier to get along with."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you." After Song Jin finished washing up, she asked, "Where's Que'er?"
"Que'er went to the kitchen to get breakfast." Xiao Luo was quick and nimble. She took the basin out and saw Que'er as soon as she went out. "The girl was looking for you!"
Que'er came back with a lunch box and brought the food in it up one by one, saying, "Sister Xiaojin, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, I have something to talk to you about." Song Jin said seriously, "I have to stay at the Xie family for a while, but the business in the shop has to continue. I have already made an agreement with my brother-in-law that you can help me look after the shop during this period. I will give you all the cake styles in a while. If someone comes to order, you can come back and tell me, and I will make it here and you can bring it to me."
Que'er thought this was serious business.
That shop was her and Sister Xiaojin's dream, and she didn't want to let it fail: "Don't worry, Sister Xiaojin, I will take good care of the shop!"
Song Jin naturally believed in Que'er, as the two of them had a tacit understanding of working together.
Song Jin nodded: "Okay!"
For a whole day, Song Jin taught Que'er how to make the pastries that are commonly sold in the shop.
Que'er learned quickly, and she was worried about the shop, so she packed up and left before evening that day.
The shop was arranged properly, and Song Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
It was not until dinner time that Madam Xie and Madam Xu came over with a pile of fresh fruits: "Xiao Jin, take a look at these to see if there is anything you like."
The fruit plate was filled with fresh fruits, many of which Song Jin had never seen before. She looked at them with surprise and said, "Thank you, Madam!"
"It's okay, eat as much as you like!" Mrs. Xie has no daughter, but she likes Song Jin just by looking at him.
The more I look at her, the more I want to find a young talent for this little girl!
She said, "Xiao Jin, there will be a polo match in Beijing in two days, would you like to go with me?"
"Polo Club?" Song Jin blinked.
She suddenly thought of the young man she had seen at the Spring Banquet before.
"Yes, after the beginning of spring, these young people can't stay at home, so they think of ways to have fun. Now that the King of Qi is hiding in his mansion, the polo match is full of female relatives. You don't have to worry, just come with me." Madam Xie thought for a while and whispered, "There are also many people who are looking for their children to meet at those banquets. Many of those young men are the best. I used to watch those ladies looking for partners for their daughters, but I never had such a blessing myself."
Song Jin understood what Mrs. Xie meant.
She lowered her head: "Thank you, Madam. I..."
"You don't have to be shy!" Madam Xie said generously, "You are the benefactor of the Patriarch of the Xie family, and also his adopted sister. With this status, you can choose any young talent in the capital. If you like any of them, come and tell me, and I will make the decision for you."
Madam Xie emphasized: "Even if I don't have much face, Xie Qiao will definitely make the decision for you."
Song Jin was a little stunned.
Because of what happened at the last Spring Banquet, she didn't want to deal with those noble ladies, nor did she expect those distinguished young men to be attracted to her. She still wanted to find an honest and good-looking husband to marry.
But she suddenly thought of Xie Qiao.
He already has someone he likes, and they will get married when everything is over.
Xie Qiao has helped her so much, she shouldn't become a problem between Xie Qiao and his wife.
In that case, she should also work hard to find a husband!
and……
Polo Club.
She was a little moved.
Even if it's just to watch the fun, it's fine!
Song Jin nodded obediently to Madam Xie: "Okay, I'll go with you, Madam. Thank you very much, Madam."
