Lin Zikui studies, he is not a fool, his eyesight is a little blurry, but he is not blind, and his ears are very good, he is definitely not deaf.
"Miss Xiao" was still bending over and looking at him. Lin Zikui could see clearly that her curved peach blossom eyes and the faint smile on the corners of her mouth were enough to capture one's soul and make one lose one's mind.
He was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.
Such broad shoulders...
Bow your head.
Such big feet...
Look up.
It seems to be taller than me.
This sound...
Lin Zikui looked at the Adam's apple again.
Like a man.
This face.
again……
It's hard to tell whether it's male or female, a face that's extremely handsome and heroic.
For women, it is delicate enough, yet a little rough.
Lin Zikui still remembers that Lord Xiao was very short, but his wife was very tall.
No, she is a girl, how could she be born like this?
Lin Zikui is nearsighted, so he looks at things very carefully and attentively. He takes the initiative to get closer, so close that he can smell the clean and rich cold fragrance on the other person.
Xiao Fu did not hide, but lowered his head and asked him: "Little Taoist, what are you looking at?"
He was dumbfounded: "Excuse me, but I dare to ask, are you...really, the Second Miss?"
“Guaranteed authenticity.”
General Chen, who was standing by, took two steps back in shock.
Lin Zikui didn't understand at all and looked confused: "Why is that girl... wearing men's clothes?"
Xiao Fu said calmly, "Since you are looking for me, have you not heard that I like to dress up as a man?"
Lin Zikui shook his head honestly.
Since the other party spoke like this, she must be the second young lady from Lord Xiao Huang's mansion that he was looking for.
Lin Zikui's eyes were a little vague. When he realized that the other person was a woman, he felt something was wrong. How could he look at someone like that? He immediately turned his face away, moved his butt backwards, and retreated directly to the wall: "I am really sorry for offending you today. I wonder, can the second lady return my book boy to me?"
Xiao Fu shook his head: "No."
Lin Zikui looked up in astonishment: "Why?"
"He almost broke into my boudoir. Why do you think so?"
Lin Zikui was speechless for a moment: "It was all my fault! If the Second Miss wants to make trouble, just come at me! Mo Liu is just a child, please let him go, Second Miss!"
He turned around and looked around the yard for the little servant boy, but Lin Zikui was half blind and couldn't see clearly when he was far away.
Jin Zun said: "He fainted."
Jinzun is a Turkic child. He doesn’t speak Chinese well and prefers to speak one or two words at a time. He has a heavy accent and one can tell at one’s ears that he is not from the Central Plains.
Lin Zikui's expression changed: "You...what did you do to Mo Liu!"
Xiao Fu slowly stood up, lowered his head and looked at him with a smile, "You're not dead yet. First, tell me, what's your name? What do you want to see me for?"
Standing upright like this, Lin Zikui could feel it more clearly.
My wife, who is not married yet, is very tall, taller than me, at least half a head taller!
Is this the second daughter of Lord Xiao?
He couldn't believe it.
Xiao Fu's voice was cold: "Little Taoist priest, are you mute? If you don't want your tongue, I can have someone cut it off for you."
“…”
Lin Zikui waved his hands hurriedly: "I, my name is Lin Zikui! My father is Lin Chuan, I... Second Miss, you and I..." He found it difficult to speak, "You may not know me, but in fact, you and I..."
Xiao Fu raised his eyebrows: "What?"
Lin Zikui lowered his head even lower: "Yes... I have, an engagement."
"Oh, I remember. You are the one from Huainan, Mr. Lin." Xiao Fu's voice was normal. Only Yuan Wu, who was familiar with him, could hear that there was a smile in his voice. He must be extremely happy.
Lord Xiao has a bad temper and likes to play tricks on people. Yuan Wu knows this, but this is the first time he knows that he likes this way.
Lin Zikui nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I am Mr. Lin! I didn't expect that the young lady recognized me, Second Miss... Although you and I were engaged, that engagement is a thing of the past after all... My father and your mother made the appointment in a hurry, and you and I have never met. In addition, I will fail the imperial examination next spring. I have an eye disease, and my future is bleak. I can only work as an official in a poor place... Second Miss and I... are not the same kind of people."
He belittled himself madly and almost said: Please, cancel the engagement.
Lord Xiao nodded slowly.
Lin Zikui thought he had agreed, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stood up: "Second Miss! I'll tear up the marriage certificate right now! My servant... do you think you can let him go?"
Xiao Fu shook his head: "I have never thought of withdrawing from this marriage. As for your servant..."
Xiao Fu tilted his head and said, "Yuan Wu, carry the man back to the West Guest Hall."
"...Yes." Yuan Wu grabbed Mo Liu's collar from the corner without saying anything and jumped over the wall. Lin Zikui breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and looked at Xiao Fu, and said sincerely: "Second Miss, our marriage...if you don't want to, don't force it. This marriage can be cancelled. I will tear up the marriage certificate, and you can find a good family again. Really."
Xiao Fu looked him up and down and said, "No need to force it."
Lin Zikui was stunned.
"Are you reluctant?" Xiao Fu bent down and pinched his chin with two fingers. "Could it be that you don't want to marry me? My father is a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue. If you follow me, I guarantee you will have a bright future, a smooth career, and a high position and generous salary."
Lin Zikui had never been so intimate with a woman before, and his ears immediately turned red: "Men and women should not be intimate with each other."
He stretched out his hand to push Xiao Fu's hand away, but he was so strong that he pinched his fingers with his big hand and said, "Little Taoist, how come your hand is smaller than mine?"
Lin Zikui: “…”
Xiao Fu's eyes curved into small arcs, and when he felt the calluses on his fingers from writing, Lin Zikui trembled uncomfortably twice, his face turning terribly red.
Xiao Fu said slowly, "Look, you've touched my hand, and I'm not married yet, and no man has ever dared to touch me. If you dare to back out of this marriage, I'll go to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion and sue you for insulting my innocence."
"You..." Lin Zikui was stunned and shocked!
Didn’t he touch himself?
"Second Miss..." Lin Zikui tried to pull his hand away, but Xiao Fu let it go, bent down and looked into his eyes: "What do you think, little Taoist priest, do you want to marry me or break off the engagement?"
Lin Zikui pursed his lips tightly, and when he looked at him, he lowered his eyes first. After a long while, he spoke: "Well... well, then."
"What's good?"
"I won't regret the engagement. As long as the second lady is willing, I will never regret it for the rest of my life." Lin Zikui gritted his teeth. Things had come to this point, he would accept this lady no matter what.
He said sincerely, "Second Miss, I was wrong to offend you without your permission today. I'm sorry."
Xiao Fu's mouth curled up again: "Don't worry, I won't tell Master Xiao about this, he won't know."
"Thank...thank you very much." Lin Zikui climbed up with the help of the wall, his expression still dazed, "Then second lady, I'll...take my leave first." He stood up, bowed twice, turned around and fled.
The sun sets and the sky is filled with rosy clouds.
Red trees and green hills, the grass and trees are falling.
Lin Zikui's heart also sank.
"If I fail the exam, Master Xiao will definitely not let her marry me."
Lin Zikui watched over Mo Liu who was still unconscious, and felt the toughness of his future wife. He said to himself, "But how can I fail the exam... Winning the top three places in a row is my father's last wish."
Lin Zikui got up and packed his luggage for a while. He wanted to wake Mo Liu up, but then sat back down.
Mo Liu is just a child, what does he know?
"Maybe after she gets to know me, she will know that I have eye problems, am mediocre in education, and am penniless, and she will no longer want to marry me. The worst result is that I will marry a tigress and let her bully me. No one will know about it behind closed doors..."
It’s not too tragic.
He has a good temper and can endure.
Lin Zikui's eyes ached slightly and felt extremely sore. He closed his eyes, rubbed them twice, and fell on the hard bamboo bed.
The golden wind blows gently, and the phoenix tree leaves fall.
When Chen Yuanqing came back from sword practice, he sensed something unusual in the atmosphere.
Why is the Marquis laughing?
Although the Marquis usually smiles, and even when he is not in any mood, the corners of his mouth are raised, but that smile never reaches his eyes. Everyone knows that he just has an upturned face. Marquis Xiao is not someone who is easy to mess with. When he gets crazy, he even dares to slap the emperor in the face.
Jin Zun held the chessboard and said, "My Lord, let's play chess."
"No," he sat in a daze under the banana tree, "Yuanqing is back, go find Yuanqing."
Jinzun: "Brother Qing, let's play chess."
Yuanqing sat across from the chessboard and asked him in a low voice, "Jinzun, what happened to the Marquis?"
"My Lord, I'm getting married."
Yuan Qing: “…………”
"What nonsense is this kid talking about?" Yuan Qing was confused. Then he saw his brother Yuan Wu coming in from the door. Lord Xiao asked him, "Yuan Wu, what is that little Taoist doing?"
"He talked to himself for a while, then slept for a while without moving. His servant woke up and said he was hungry. Master Lin said he was hungry too. When they found that the dining hall was closed, they went to the kitchen to light a fire and cook."
Xiao Fu laughed and asked, "What did he say to himself?"
"Uh... it's nothing. At worst, I can marry a tigress and let her bully me. I can close the door and no one will know about it. It's not disgraceful. That's about it."
"No one knows, isn't that disgraceful? Hahahaha."
This young scholar dared to speak ill of Emperor Wentai behind his back, and he was afraid of death and was adorably cowardly.
Xiao Fu held his face up and said, "Yuanwu, please go down the mountain."
"Hmm? Lord?"
Lord Xiao: "Go buy me some clothes."
"Yes, winter is coming soon. The princess must have bought a lot for the Marquis. How about I go back to the Duke of Changguo's Mansion and get it for you?"
Xiao Fu shook his head: "Buy some women's clothes."
Yuan Wu: "Hey? Who's going to wear women's clothes?"
Xiao Fu's expression remained unchanged, and he said lazily, "Of course I wore it. Didn't you see that the scholar had poor eyesight and mistook me for his fiancée? It would be bad if he knew I was a man."
Yuan Wu: “…………”
It's not a misunderstanding at all, it's clearly you doing it on purpose.
