My Wife, Something is Wrong

  Chapter 79 Peaceful Lunch

   Some surprises.

  Luo Qingzhou did not expect the second wife to be here today.

   Never thought that the little girl who used to go to play with him secretly, but was hurt mercilessly by him in the end was also there.

   "Qingzhou, come in quickly, it's cold outside, your body is still too weak."

  Luo Yu greeted the door enthusiastically.

The second wife, Yang Shi, also had a smile on her face, but her tone was yin and yang: "Qingzhou, since you came back last time, you haven't come back for more than a month. Did you live well there and forget about us?" Is it a state mansion?"

  Luo Xiaolou stood in the corner, looking at the young man outside the door with complicated eyes, not daring to step forward.

  Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and cupped his hands outside the door, and said respectfully: "Second Madam, Second Young Master."

   "Family, why are you polite, come in quickly."

  Luo Yu took his arm affectionately, led him to the table, and said with a smile on his face, "The kitchen has prepared a lot of delicious dishes for you today. We two brothers have a good get-together."

   "Thank you, Second Young Master."

  Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said.

  Luo Yu smiled, looked at the cold girl who was still standing outside the door, stepped forward and cupped her hands, and said politely: "Young lady, come in and sit down to eat together, you are not outsiders, there are not so many rules."

  Xia Chan turned around, stood under the eaves with her sword in her arms, looked outside, her pretty face was as cold as ice, she regarded him as air, and ignored him.

  Luo Yu's eye muscles twitched, and she smiled slightly. Without further words, she turned and went back to the room, and ordered the servant girl to serve the food.

   "Xiaolou, didn't you just say you wanted to see your elder brother Qing Zhou? Come quickly."

  Luo Yu smiled and greeted the girl in the red skirt standing in the corner.

  Luo Xiaolou timidly glanced at his mother, and then at the familiar yet unfamiliar boy. After a few glances, he didn't see the familiar and friendly smile on his face.

   "Xiaolou, come and call someone!"

   Yang said with a straight face.

  Luo Xiaolou walked out from the corner, came to the boy, lowered his head, and said softly, "Qing...Brother Qingzhou."

  Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, nodded slightly, without any superfluous expression on his face, and did not reply.

  He turned his head to look at the gentle and gentle man in front of him with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Second Young Master, I have already eaten in the mansion."

  Luo Yu took his arm and sat down, said with a smile: "Then eat less, treat it as eating with me, and I haven't come out to eat such a table meal for a long time."

  The Yang family next to him also smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Qingzhou, you have finally come back, so let's have a good meal with your second brother, and I will pour wine for you."

   As he spoke, he went to pick up the wine jug, and came over to pour wine for the two of them himself.

  Luo Yu turned to look at the girl next to him and said with a smile: "Xiaolou, sit down, let's eat together, sit next to your elder brother Qing Zhou, and talk to him."

  Yang quickly smiled and said: "Second Young Master, don't worry about her, she just ate the snacks before, and she is not hungry now. You two brothers can just eat, she is a little girl, just let her stand and pour wine for you."

   After finishing speaking, she went directly to put the jug into her hand, patted the back of her head and said, "Stupid girl, go and stand by and pour wine for the second and third brothers."

  Luo Xiaolou took the jug and walked behind the two of them without saying a word.

  Luo Yu smiled, didn't say any more, raised his wine glass and said, "Qingzhou, come, let me toast you first."

  At this moment, the cold girl who was standing outside the door suddenly walked in and stood behind Luo Qingzhou, staring coldly at the wine glass in his hand.

Luo Yu froze for a moment, glanced at her, suddenly understood, smiled and drank the wine in the glass, and then said to Yang who was next to her: "Er Niang, you have a drink too, and then you can order something to eat .”

  What a smart person Mrs. Yang is, he understood it all at once, glanced at the girl holding a sword, muttered something in his mouth, went over and directly picked up the glass of wine in front of Luo Qingzhou, and drank it down in one gulp.

   Immediately, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a little bit of each dish on the table, and ate it into his mouth.

  When she finished eating and raised her head to sneer, the girl holding the sword unexpectedly walked outside the door and stood under the eaves again, as cold as ice, motionless.

   "Tch, villain's heart!"

  She muttered and put down the dishes.

   "Xiaolou, pour wine."

  She took a new wine glass from the maid and put it in front of Luo Qingzhou.

  Luo Xiaolou stepped forward and carefully filled the wine glass.

   "Qing Zhou, please."

  Luo Yu held up his wine glass, smiling all over his face.

  Luo Qingzhou also raised his wine glass.

   The two drank it all in one gulp.

  Mr. Yang was holding vegetables for them, and said with a smile, "Qingzhou, how is life in the Qin Mansion? Do you live with that Miss Qin?"

  The girl holding a sword under the eaves outside turned her pretty face slightly to one side.

"Good."

  Luo Qingzhou looked down at the dishes in the bowl, speaking plainly.

  Mr. Yang looked at Luo Yu next to him, and smiled again: "That Miss Qin..."

   Speaking of this, she lowered her voice and said, "No problem, right? I heard people say that she can't speak or laugh...Is it true?"

  Luo Qingzhou was silent for a while.

  Mr. Yang said with a smile all over her face: "Qingzhou, we are all on our own. This Chengguo Mansion is your home. What can you not say? If you have any grievances in your heart, you can tell Er Niang."

   Luo Yu next to him had a smile on his face and didn't speak again.

  Luo Qingzhou replied: "She is fine, but she is a bit introverted and doesn't like to talk."

  Luo Yu's eyes flashed, and he picked up the wine glass.

   Yang glanced at him, then asked with a smile: "That Qingzhou, that Miss Qin, does she... like you?"

  The wine in Luo Yu's wine glass rippled slightly.

  Luo Qingzhou said: "I don't know."

  Mr. Yang smiled, and gave him another dish: "Come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

  Luo Qingzhou bowed his head to eat.

Mrs. Yang glanced at Second Master Luo again, thought for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "Qing Zhou, Er Niang will tell you something heartfelt, if you don't like it there, if those people treat you badly, you You can come back at any time. Your second brother is going to the capital in the future, the property of Chengguo is so big, you have studied and you are smart, and you can help take care of it when the time comes."

  Luo Yu smiled and said: "Er Niang is right, Qing Zhou, I'm actually not interested in these things, and I still have to rely on you in the future."

  Luo Qingzhou didn't speak.

   "Come, Qingzhou, drink."

   "Qingzhou, eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

   Two people, one toast and one to serve food.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Yang suddenly changed the subject and said in a low voice: "Qingzhou, when your second brother is admitted to Dragon and Tiger Academy next year, you will follow suit. That... the second son of the Qin family, Have you seen him recently? Have you seen him practice martial arts?"

  Luo Qingzhou put down his wine glass and said respectfully: "I've been studying in the room recently, and I haven't seen him."

  Luo Yu lowered her head, unable to see the expression clearly on her face.

  Mr. Yang smiled, chatted a few more words, and said, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

   After another ten minutes, the table fell into silence.

  Luo Qingzhou got up in time, and said goodbye.

  Luo Yu stood up and said with a smile: "Qing Zhou, I know you are studying hard recently and preparing for next year's autumn exam, so the second brother dare not keep you anymore. Come back and see more, let's get together more."

Yang also said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Qingzhou, I will come back more often in the future. Not to mention coming back every day, you should come back two or three times a month, right? According to the rules, you should come back every month to greet your father and wife Yes, you are a scholar, so you can't let people gossip. What is the biggest thing in this world? Of course, parents are the biggest, and filial piety is the biggest, you have to remember."

  Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and said, "Qingzhou remembered."

   "Xiaolou, go see your third brother off."

  Luo Yu said softly to the girl next to her.

  Luo Xiaolou glanced at his mother.

   Yang stared and said: "Why are you still standing there? Listen to your second brother, put down the jug, and go see your third brother off."

  Luo Xiaolou hastily put down the jug, and followed behind the boy.

   After the backs of several people disappeared outside the gate, the smile on Luo Yu's face gradually disappeared.

  Yang looked at him with some anxiety, and said in a low voice: "Second Young Master, I don't know if that kid is hiding it on purpose, or if he really doesn't know anything."

  Luo Yu looked at her and smiled faintly: "It's okay, Erniang, it doesn't matter if you know or not, I don't bother to defeat Qin Chuan in this way. Don't worry, I have confidence."

  Yang said flatteringly with a smile all over his face: "Second Young Master will definitely defeat that kid, absolutely."

Luo Xiaolou sent it to the door, looked left and right, saw that there was no one else, suddenly ran to Luo Qingzhou's side, hugged his arm, his eyes were red, and his small face was full of grievances: "Brother Qingzhou, how are you doing there? Did someone bully you?"

  Luo Qingzhou stopped, frowned, and said indifferently: "It's good. You don't need to send it away, go back."

  He withdrew his arm indifferently.

  Luo Xiaolou looked at him with tears in his eyes: "Brother Qing Zhou, I know... I know that Brother Qing Zhou ignored me, it was for the sake of my mother and I..."

   "Go back and study."

  Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything more, and left quickly.

  Xia Chan followed behind him, turned her head to look at the little girl in the red dress who was standing there, crying, and there was a ripple in her cold eyes.

  Luo Qingzhou was silent all the way out of Chengguo Mansion.

  Xia Chan held a sword in her left hand and an umbrella in her right hand, and walked silently with him in the snow.

  Luo Qingzhou stopped on the street outside the mansion, and looked back, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

  He didn't stay any longer and left quickly.

   "Steamed buns! Steamed buns! Steamed buns just out of the cage!"

  On the street, there are vendors shouting.

  Luo Qingzhou heard the voice, looked there, seemed to remember something, walked over, took out the silver, and bought five buns.

   "Miss Xia Chan, wait for me here."

  He took the bun and left quickly.

   Passed through the alley next to it, and walked around to a dark alley behind Chengguo Mansion.

   Entering the alley, he kept walking.

  Passing through a small gate at the back of Chengguo Mansion, and walked to the end of the alley, but did not see the two frail figures.

When he came to this world, he was curious about the whole Chengguo Mansion. After wandering around, he saw this small door. After opening it, he saw two people shivering in the wind and snow, so hungry that they could no longer stand up. little beggar.

  They were a pair of eight or nine-year-old brother and sister, wearing tattered clothes, no shoes, no cotton-padded jacket, four feet were red and swollen with cold, hands full of chilblains, and were dying of hunger.

  If he found out a day later, the brother and sister would probably have died of hunger and cold here.

  He brought them steamed buns, ointments, cotton-padded jackets, and bedding.

   In the few days before entering the Qin Mansion, every time he ate, he would ask Xiaodie to bring a few more steamed buns and send them over.

  It's just a matter of raising your hands.

  But in this era, there are too many poor people and people who starve to death.

  So after he left, he didn't think about it again.

  I came back today, and after seeing the small building, I suddenly thought of the brother and sister again.

   However, they are no longer here.

   I don’t know if he died in the snowstorm, was dragged away and thrown into a random graveyard outside the city, or went to another place.

  Luo Qingzhou stood in the alley for a while, then walked out of the alley with the gradually cooling steamed buns in the wind and snow.

  At the entrance of the alley, the cold girl stood there, as if she was looking at him, or at the quiet alley behind him.

   "Let's go, go home."

  Luo Qingzhou took the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, opened it, and covered her head.

   The two left the alley.

  After walking a few steps, the girl turned her head and took another look at the alley that was silent in the wind and snow. In a trance, she seemed to see the scene of that day again.

  Snowflakes were falling, two little beggars snuggled up at the corner of the alley, wrapped in big padded jackets, eating steaming steamed buns.

  The young man was sitting on the steps next to him, drenched in the wind and snow, watching them quietly, his handsome and peaceful cheeks were as bright as the winter sun in the cold alley...

   "Candied haws! Candied haws..."

  On the street, there was suddenly the sound of hawkers yelling candied haws.

  The girl came back to her senses, took a look, and then looked at the boy beside her.

  Luo Qingzhou was thinking about something, walked for a while, and suddenly found that the person under the umbrella was gone, and looked back.

  The girl stood sideways under the eaves not far behind her, with her arms folded and a sword in her arms, looking at the wall next to her with a cold and pretty face.

   And one step behind her, there is a candied haws vendor, who is holding up the candied haws in his hand and shouting hard.
