Broken Wings

Chapter 43

Mrs. Qin raised her head quickly, straightened her body, looked at the dark night outside the door, thought for a moment, her black and white eyes became extraordinarily cool with a trace of confusion, "Encai" Mrs. Qin waved to Encai, "Do you feel that Jinxi girl seems to come here in a bad way?"

Encai nodded and analyzed, "Miss Jinxi does come from a bit of a wrong place. It stands to reason that it would be inappropriate for strangers like us with unknown origins to inquire about her son's affairs, but Miss Jinxi seems to have revealed her son's information on purpose. origin"

"The only younger brother of the Lord..." Mrs. Qin lowered her eyes and chuckled, "Isn't it the Duke Duo who has always had a rebellious heart?" Feeling more and more interesting in her heart, she wrapped a lock of hair around her fingertips on her right finger, "I've heard that the younger brother of the current lord, the Lord Duo, doesn't love beautiful girls and beautiful men. Could it be that my cousin is the prince's pillow?"

"Why do I feel that we seem to have messed with something?" Encai quickly moved a stool and moved closer to Mrs. Qin, "I have always heard that the relationship between the Lord and the prince has become more and more tense, and there is a tendency to fight, but We're messing in at this moment, isn't it causing trouble for our Qin family?"

"What kind of trouble can we cause? Let's just pretend that we don't know. Just pretend that we are here to play." Mrs. Qin raised Erlang's legs leisurely, touched her chin and said slowly, "Even if Mrs. Ben comes in to disrupt the situation, it's okay with the Qin family The foundation of the current master still dare not offend too much." His eyes suddenly lit up, and he winked to show Encai, and said in a low voice, "There is someone outside the window"

Hearing this, Encai passed through the window with a few cold star needles in her hand, and Encai rushed out the door, only to see a piece of dark clothes flickering and disappearing, "Let him run away"

"It's okay, didn't he hit your cold star needle? He can't run far." Mrs. Qin crossed her legs steadily and looked around. "Look at the layout of this room, even my husband can't do it." To be so considerate, I never thought that such a majestic prince would be so thoughtful in preparing for his escape. It can be seen that the rumors outside are true, but I just don’t know, given the current situation, is this a blessing or a curse for Cousin Zimo?”

"Why, madam want to join in the fun?" Encai asked enthusiastically.

Mrs. Qin glanced at En Cai, "I don't want to, what I'm interested in is only cousin Zimo's fair skin, is it necessary to take risks by myself?"

Although Encai thinks it makes sense, she has a different opinion, "Since the madam is called my son's cousin, is there any reason for the madam to ignore it?"

……

Early in the morning, before I opened my eyes, I heard the door slamming and someone kicked it open.Su Zimo frowned in distress, and then he realized that someone was scratching his nose with a hair.

Mrs. Qin woke up early in the morning, prepared a harpoon barrel, and planned to go fishing with Su Zimo in the river one mile away from the house.But Su Zimo actually slept until it was three o'clock in the morning and didn't plan to get up, so the eccentric Mrs. Qin kicked Su Zimo's door, intending to ask Su Zimo to get up in person.

"Cousin..." Mrs. Qin touched Su Zimo's face, "It's time to get up."

"Mrs. Qin..." Su Zimo's tone was helpless, he leaned forward slightly, and asked with a sigh, "What do you think of me? Can't you let me rest for a while?"

"Cousin can call me An An, and tell Mrs. Qin to see you more often." Mrs. Qin blinked her eyes, "I don't want to do anything to my cousin, I just want my cousin to accompany me to fish by the river."

"Fishing?" Su Zimo looked at Mrs. Qin curiously, "Now?"

"It's now." Mrs. Qin nodded solemnly.

"Oh, do you want to go or not? If you don't go, the sun will go down to the western mountains." Encai, who was waiting outside the door, jumped in impatiently, holding a sharpened wooden stick in her hand.

Su Zimo seldom had such freedom. When he saw the wooden stick and thought of the fish in the river, he immediately regained his energy, quickly put on my clothes, and followed Mrs. Qin to go outside.

Jinxi chased him out from the house, "My lord, let's have some food first before going," but seeing Su Zi on the street, he waved his hands repeatedly.

Xiao Wenlin stood on the door with his sword in his arms, watching Su Zimo's figure slowly recede, and smiled faintly.Jinxi looked at Su Zimo's back for a while, sighed, turned around and glanced at Xiao Wenlin, and smiled faintly, "Who can imagine how miserable he was before seeing the young master so restless?"

"Mmm," Xiao Wenlin only responded.Thoughts drifted elsewhere.At the beginning Si Wenxuan asked him to protect Su Zimo all the way, so he should have complied, but his father Xiao Wang was poisoned first to kill his soul. Jue protects him, but Lian Yunjue has always been unreliable in his actions. Xiao Wang is in his hands first, and Xiao Wenlin is really not at ease. Fortunately, there is also Hu Mengzhu. If not, he will definitely not agree to Si Wenxuan's offer .

Xiao Wenlin took Su Zimo to hide in Ziji Mountain, which is equivalent to sealing off the news from the outside. He has no idea what is going on in the Jinlin Imperial Capital.I don't know if the Lord's hidden guards will come here.

The surface of the river is clear, reflecting the fish swimming back and forth at the bottom of the river.Mrs. Qin rolled up the cuffs of her skirt, holding a sharpened wooden stick and staring closely at the river.Su Zimo was also like Mrs. Qin, standing downstream of Mrs. Qin and carefully watching the bottom of the water.Encai was standing by the river with a fish basket and half skirt, throwing the fish basket back and forth.

"Ah!" Mrs. Qin yelled suddenly, and Su Zimo almost jumped up in fright, only to hear Mrs. Qin continue, "I, my leg is numb, Encai is here to help me!"

"Really, women are troublesome." Su Zimo raised his chin towards Mrs. Qin mockingly, and Mrs. Qin waved her hands at Su Zimo repeatedly, "Oh, old people are useless" enthusiastically waved to Su Zimo, "Cousin, go ashore, the water in the river is cold, be careful to frostbite your feet"

Su Zimo shook his head slightly, walked slowly to Mrs. Qin and sat down. While arranging her clothes, she asked, "When is Mrs. Qin going to stay? Will you just stay with me forever?"

"Call me An'an" Mrs. Qin looked at Su Zimo very seriously and corrected him.Su Zimo paused for a while, then said helplessly, "Okay, An'an"

"I have to go, but I still have a lot of questions that I don't understand. Even if I have to go, I still have to figure it out and go with peace of mind." Mrs. Qin's serious appearance suddenly made Su Zimo curious, and he couldn't help asking, "What? doubt?"

"Cousin, you..." Mrs. Qin looked Su Zimo up and down, with a hint of teasing at the end of her eyes.

Su Zimo was taken aback.

"Cousin is the servant of Prince Chaoduo?" Mrs. Qin did not hide her doubts, but seeing Su Zimo's face turning pale inch by inch, she knew it in her heart.

Su Zimo turned away, snorted coldly, and gripped the withered grass tighter and tighter with his hands on the ground, that monstrous and evil face suddenly appeared in his mind, just thinking of Duo's name, Su Zimo hated it His teeth were itchy, but Mrs. Qin asked a question that no one else could hide from. Su Zimo would definitely not admit it, and his tone was very decisive, "No, I don't know what kind of duo and lord."

Mrs. Qin's eyes immediately turned into crescent moons, and she slowly dragged out the word "oh", and leaned towards Su Zimo as if fawning, and asked enthusiastically, "Generally speaking, there are few men in the world who are as good as my cousin." White like a jade." He rolled up his sleeves and made a comparison with Su Zimo, "Look, I am also a spoiled young lady, but why can't my skin be as good as yours?" Mrs. Qin was puzzled He frowned, hugged Su Zimo's arm, and said coquettishly, "My good cousin, do you have any maintenance secrets, can you pass them on to me?"

"What is the secret of maintenance? No." Su Zimo pulled Mrs. Qin off her body calmly, and couldn't help sighing, "You come from a wealthy family, and your family education must be extremely strict. Why do you look like this?" temper"

Mrs. Qin laughed when she heard this, let go of her hands and looked at Su Zimo, and became interested again, "Tell me, cousin, what kind of temper am I?" She rubbed against Su Zimo again, and turned her head towards Su Zimo Lean on your shoulder.

Su Zimo was very sensitive to such intimate contact, so he stood up suddenly, looked at the gurgling water, and said perfunctorily, "It's getting late, I'm hungry, it's time to go back." Go to the residence.

The unsuspecting Mrs. Qin fell headfirst to the ground with an ouch, Encai couldn't help sniggering, and came to help Mrs. Qin, "Madam really asks for trouble, I often hear people say that things like these The men serving the bed curtains don't have much contact with women, and their bodies are probably very sensitive. Besides, Prince Duo has always been a manly man, so this method of training must be unusual. Since the young master is a member of Prince Duo, how could he Let you get so close to him"

"What Encai said is that." Mrs. Qin didn't refute. She stood up and looked in the direction Su Zimo was leaving, and only saw a limping figure from a distance. She was suspicious and said to herself, " I just don’t know what my cousin is doing in this remote place when he’s not in the palace.”

"Anyone who has some ears in Jinlin knows that the licentious Prince Duolu has real feelings for this Mr. Su, and isn't the prince at odds with the current Lord? The relationship between the two of them has been particularly bad recently. I'm afraid it is Worried that the lord will catch his people as a hole card, so I sent him out of the place of right and wrong." Encai thought for a while and added, "But I always feel that someone around us is staring at us, and this place is probably not the same. what a safe place"

"Even the Jinxi girl next to him is probably not a good person." Mrs. Qin stretched out her arms and waved to Encai, "Let's go, let's go back too."

The winter of the ninth year of Baili Guoren Feng.Su Zimo finally got his wish and lived a free life away from the hustle and bustle.Ever since Mrs. Qin made Su Zimo her cousin for no apparent reason, she asked Su Zimo the secrets of her maintenance every day, and often abducted Su Zimo to go wandering in the mountains and forests, either fishing in the river or digging out bird eggs from trees. Otherwise, he would chase after the birds in the forest, and Su Zimo would be happy to mess around with Mrs. Qin, leaving early and returning late every day with a limp leg, living a prosperous life.

Xiao Wenlin sat on the wooden steps in front of the house every day, slowly wiping his sword with a rag.Jinxi carefully takes care of a set of tea sets in the courtyard every day, brews a pot of tea every day, and waits for Su Zimo and Mrs. Qin to return.After six days like this, Mrs. Qin gradually calmed down when she received a letter from home.

After receiving the letter from home, Mrs. Qin stood on the door of the room in silence for a long time.Xiao Wenlin was sitting on the wooden steps wiping his sword as before, and Jinxi was still quietly brewing fragrant tea.Uncharacteristically, Su Zimo did not run away, and stood behind Mrs. Qin silently looking at her.Su Zimo rarely sees Mrs. Qin when she is quiet. From the first time he saw An An, he thought she was a wealthy lady who didn't care about worries. It was the first time he saw Mrs. Qin so quiet, but Su Zimo felt that she was not used to it. .

Mrs. Qin noticed that Su Zimo was behind her, and she glanced sideways slightly, "Cousin, guess what I'm thinking?" Su Zimo looked at Mrs. Qin quietly, and shook his head slowly.

"I'm thinking about you, cousin." Mrs. Qin sneered, turned to face Su Zimo, and sighed, "My good cousin, cousin, I'm about to leave, you don't have the slightest bit of reluctance for me ?”

"Why not?" Su Zimo frowned unhappily, tilted his head slightly and asked, "An'an, guess what I'm thinking?" Mrs. Qin had a smile at the end of her eyes, and sighed, "My Let's go, I'm afraid no one will take my cousin down the river to fish or climb the tree to dig out bird eggs."

"That's right" Su Zimo also sighed.

Encai came out of the room with two big packages when she came, patted the package a few times, and said with a smile, "As many as you came, and as many as you left, no more, no less, just right."

"Since Mrs. Qin is leaving, do I need to see you off?" Xiao Wenlin asked calmly as he was still wiping the black sheathed sword carefully.

"No need," Mrs. Qin said, "Send me a ride, what is there to give, it's not about life and death."

"Ma'am said" Jinxi was half-kneeling in front of the little table in a blue dress, her long eyelashes concealed all the emotions in her eyes, and the faint smile on her lips was distant and plain, "When there is a gathering, there is a separation, and after the separation, there is Get together, Madam and son are good to be separated today, and we can get together again when we meet again in the future."

Mrs. Qin silently looked at Jinxi's indifferent appearance, and smiled slowly, "What Miss Jinxi said?" Her eyes darkened slightly, but she turned her head with a smile like a flower, and she pulled Su Zimo's half of the sleeve, Qiqi Ai said coquettishly, "Excuse me." Brother, everyone is leaving, leave me some souvenirs."

Su Zimo was stunned for a moment, "Remembrance." Su Zimo didn't know that Mrs. Qin left as soon as she said it, and didn't prepare any souvenirs.

"Hey, what is cousin doing?" Mrs. Qin smiled and held Su Zimo's wrist, and said deliberately, "My family is as rich as a country, and there is no shortage of this little jade pendant. Maybe your jade pendant is your good friend. It’s a gift, if your friend knows, my cousin will suffer a lot.”

Su Zimo's face suddenly turned livid, and he pushed Madam Qin's hand away suddenly, and said a little excitedly, "Nonsense again."

Mrs. Qin snickered to herself, reached out and pinched Su Zimo's waist hard, Su Zimo jumped up with a bang, his face turned red to the back of his ears, and said angrily, "An'an, you, what are you doing?" "

"My wife is leaving today, and I'm afraid it will be a long time before we get together again. My cousin was born like a beautiful woman, very lovable. If I don't take some beauty as a souvenir when I leave, wouldn't it be in vain? Cousin, brother and sister?" Mrs. Qin raised her head and smiled tremblingly. Taking advantage of Su Zimo's anger, she stretched out her hand to touch Su Zimo's waist. Su Zimo only cared about protecting his waist, not thinking about Qin The madam's hand changed midway, and she touched Su Zimo's face hard.
