The red lady with a smile

Chapter 19

That night, A Luo stayed by Xuan Qing's side, never leaving him. Even when sleeping, he kept holding him tightly in his arms. The two stayed together all night until dawn.

Xuan Qing had something on her mind and didn't sleep well, so she woke up early.He woke up, and A Luo also got up. After the two finished washing together, A Luo signaled the servants to pack their luggage. This afternoon, he wanted to take Xuan Qing and the children out of this place of right and wrong.

Seeing A Luo's gesture, Xuan Qing's heart sank, and he thought to himself: What he said last night is really unbelievable.

And at this moment, A Luo suddenly stood in front of Xuan Qing, took a deep breath, and began the most lengthy speech in his life during the day.

"Xuan Qing, maybe you don't remember, but we met a long time ago..."

"...!"

Xuan Qing was shocked by A Luo's voice, it was obviously the same voice, but at this moment it was a little more serious and steady than at night, which made people feel very at ease, and just wanted to keep listening like this...

That year, they were both young, and A Luo couldn't even remember what Xuan Qing looked like at that time, but inexplicably, he was deeply attached to that person in those days. Subconsciously looking for his shadow.

"To be honest, I didn't even think about looking for you, but before my master passed away, he left me a brocade box and told me to open it only after I tied my hair. But when I opened the brocade box when I was old, everything changed. That's it." Maybe this is Master Xin's intention to let A Luo, who is sensible, make his own choice, "The roster records the solution to the Ten Thousand Snake Gu and the heinous things he did to solve the Gu on my body."

In order to understand Gu, he sacrificed the lives of a group of children. Even if Master Xin died, he might not be able to make up for this mistake. A Luo was also deeply surprised when he heard it for the first time, but then he discovered an even more astonishing fact - Ten Thousand Snakes Gu's medicine man has just formed, and the medicine man is named "Yin Xuanqing"!

This name easily brought back A Luo's memories. He never thought that many years later, the two would meet again because of Ten Thousand Snake Gu.

"Being a medicine man is a very cruel thing, because the antidote itself is also poisonous. As the properties of the medicine gradually spread, the medicine man will become dull and dull, and eventually lose his sanity and become a complete "living dead"... "

These words undoubtedly frightened Xuan Qing again, A Luo tightened his hands in understanding, and then said: "Don't worry, you won't become like that."

A Luo knew this, so when he first brought Xuan Qing home, he kept giving him various medicinal materials. According to Master Xin's notes, he used short silver needles to seal the acupoints to make poison, so that the poison could not invade the heart and blood meridians.

This was the first time Xuan Qing had heard of it. He touched his back subconsciously, and felt that it was no different from the usual, and he could not feel the existence of the silver needle in A Luo's mouth at all.

Watching his movements, A Luo's eyes were full of tenderness.

"When I was young, I always thought you were an amazing person. You knew a lot of things I didn't know, and you taught me a lot of principles of life... Do you remember the painting I showed you? The one in the book is not Brother Han, It's you in my heart."

A Luo recalled, and couldn't help but chuckled again. It was "Yin Xuanqing" drawn by his young self based on the impression in his heart--extraordinary temperament, relaxed and free, as perfect as a fairy who does not eat fireworks.

"But when I saw you again, you were much more ordinary than I imagined. To be honest, I was a little surprised."

These words made Xuan Qing very ashamed, no matter whether A Luo lied to himself or not, he believed that the second half of the sentence must be true.

"However..." the subject changed, and A Luo smiled even more gently, "After getting along, I realized that this is the real Xuan Qing, I like you not because of your greatness, but because of your simplicity and purity. "

In this bustling world, there are too many temptations and too many variables. Life is only a few dozen years, and who can never change forever.But Xuan Qing is very special, probably due to his bad background, he has never had great ambitions, since A Luo met him, he has only one wish - to find someone he likes and spend the rest of his life in peace.What's more, he didn't ask that person to like him more, it was just wishful thinking that he had longed for all his life.

Simple life, pure desire, Xuan Qing grew up under people's scorn, a little less vitality and a little more obedience than when she was a child, but this does not affect Aluo's feelings for him.

"I didn't look for you before because I was concerned about your identity, but after knowing that you are a medicine man, I don't care about those."

How miserable the fate of the medicine man will be? Master also recorded a little in the memorandum. A Luo was horrified. He never knew that human beings would be so selfish and cruel in the face of those false rumors about life extension and martial arts attainments. He watched Xuan Qing become such a victim, and finally turned into a living dead to be slaughtered, he couldn't do it.

It has to be said that Xuanqing had a profound influence on the young Aluo when he was young, and the thoughts instilled in him were also very good. When Aluo grew up, even though he looked indifferent on the outside, he was always full of kindness in his heart.

At first, A Luo wanted to know that Xuan Qing was a medicine man, but it was inevitable that others would find out in the future, so he just kept going and asked his brother to help him find out where he was, and then placed him by his side as a concubine.But the world is unpredictable, the moment he saw Xuan Qing, all the planned things of A Luo were disrupted.

The days with Xuan Qing by my side seemed to be back to the most beautiful days when I was young. Although there was some estrangement at first, but as time passed, Xuan Qing gradually changed back to the image I remember, funny, talkative, and likes to complain , He often thinks wildly, and what is even more surprising is that he knew about A Luo's illness, but he still didn't dislike him. He was willing to sleep with him and live with him. That was a dream that A Luo couldn't even dream of.

"Others are afraid of my illness, and even my family members have scruples, so I thought I would not have a perfect marriage, but you made me change my mind. I really like you, and I hope you will fall in love with me at the same time. Me, regard me as my life."

It's a pity that he is too young and doesn't have the experience and ability of a mature man. All he can do is to protect Xuan Qing within his ability. Xuan Qing was covered in bruises.

Maybe words can't convey all the feelings, but some things have to be explained clearly by words. A Luo once thought that everything can be done without talking in the daytime, and he doesn't need his family to understand the meaning of Xuan Qing, as long as he likes Xuan Qing Well, there is no need to clarify those gossips, because the pure will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. He even thought that he didn't need to express his feelings to Xuan Qing, because one day he would understand what he did... Really want to So beautiful and so innocent!

He's just a lowly male prostitute, how can it be so beautiful as what Aluo said, could it be, could it be that he mistakenly likes the person he likes, and he is just an emotional sustenance that he misses too much?

Until the afternoon, when Xuan Qing saw two spacious carriages parked at the gate of the other courtyard, Xuan Qing still felt unacceptable.

With A Luo's support, they got into the carriage, and then the two little daughters were carried up by A Luo respectively. A Luo hugged Xia Xia, and Xiaochun happily sat beside Xuan Qing. For a moment, Xuan Qing couldn't help shaking his body.

It was warm and quiet in the carriage, Xiaochun slept peacefully on Xuanqing's lap, and Xiaxia was hugged by Aluo himself, sleeping soundly.

Xuan Qing kept thinking about A Luo's previous words, digested them slowly, and slowly tried to accept them, but there were still things that puzzled him.

"If, if you really like me that much...why do you need to...take Miss Wanyue as a concubine?" Xuan Qing asked boldly.

This is the first sentence he said to A Luo after hearing the explanation. A Luo was surprised at first, but then he thought that if he had doubts, it meant that he was thinking about his own words, thinking first and then accepting, this is the best way beginning, no?

Smiling secretly, A Luo said without hesitation, "Walking the moon is just a cover, and "spring" is the accident. "As he spoke, he couldn't help but glanced at the eldest daughter who was sleeping on Xuan Qing's lap, "Don't you think her appearance is very familiar?"

Being said so, Xuan Qing couldn't help looking at the sleeping little girl, it was true, he had discovered it earlier - spring looked familiar, but at that time he always thought it was because spring looked like Arlo, until later when he was born After seeing Xia Xia, he realized that it didn't seem to be like that.

Seeing that Xuan Qing was sometimes suspicious and sometimes frowned, A Luo was in a good mood, and answered honestly, "She was born of you, so she is naturally similar to you."

Xuan Qing was stunned when he heard the words, and after a moment of hesitation, he yelled uncontrollably.

"Huh!? But, but... I... I gave birth to... Xia Xia..."

Yes, Xia Xia was born of him, but this does not mean that Spring is not, on the contrary, it is Xia Xia's birth that adds another possibility for Spring's life experience.

"On my birthday, when I saw you sleeping in the room, I was afraid that you were suffering from poison in your body, but when I checked your pulse, it turned out that there were signs of pregnancy. Only then did I find the theory of "evil birth" in a place I had overlooked. "

It is impossible for a man to conceive. If Xuan Qing's symptoms were discovered by others at that time, it would definitely arouse suspicion. A Luo thought of ways to conceal it as quickly as possible. It just so happened that the fourth sister of the Wei family sent a girl to recommend herself The pillow mat, which gave Arlo an idea immediately.

He used his tricks to show that he accepted Wanyue, but in private he reached a secret agreement with Wanyue. He told Wanliuyue that he had caused trouble outside and made a woman pregnant, but he could not marry that woman because of the difference in status. The woman hopes that Wanyue can help cover it up, and in return, A Luo is willing to let Wanyue fake death after the birth of the child, return her to freedom, and give her a considerable reward.

This kind of exchange also suits Wanyue's mind, so she voluntarily cast a blindfold with Aluo, successfully concealing Xiaochun's real life experience, and even Xuan Qing was concealed from it.

"Remember? At that time, you were given a lot of medicinal materials, which contained anti-birth ingredients, and could also cause anxiety, so at that time you only felt that you were fat, and you didn't notice any other abnormalities... After giving birth, I was still afraid of going out. Wrong, simply added a medicinal material to the decoction you took to make you unable to concentrate, you thought you slept for a month, but in fact you woke up very early, but every day is drowsy, Either sleeping or eating, unable to think deeply.”

These words completely overturned Xuan Qing's previous logic and made him speechless. Looking at Xiao Chunchun and Xia Xia in A Luo's arms, he was a little at a loss.

Arlo's explanation ends here, just like the end of a miracle book. He stopped speaking during the day, and he didn't speak again until night fell. He was not as serious as during the day, but Arlo at night was still the same. It made Xuan Qing dumbfounded.

"Xuan Qing, Xuan Qing, dear Xuan Qing, you believe me, although there are a lot of deceitful words at night, but I promise, I will not lie to you, I did not accept your letter of divorce, I tore it up before So, it’s not that I hate you, really, really, I swear!” As he spoke, he swore with his gestures.

His actions aroused the curiosity of the daughter on the side. Xiao Chunchun hung it on his raised hand without any politeness. Xia Xia in his arms opened her eyes and yawned, followed by babbling. non-stop.

"Father... Father... Fa, Fa..."

Xiaochun's pronunciation is not complete, the whole picture is cute and funny, Xuanqing almost laughs.

I have to admit that after suffering, being comforted by your lover is the most effective medicine, but how long will this "lucky" last?Could it be that within a few days, Arlo will find out that he has made a mistake?Or are you tired of yourself?

Thinking of such a possibility, Xuan Qing couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, as if hearing the hesitation and loss in the sigh, A Luo quickly came up and asked, "What's wrong? Are you still unwilling to forgive me?"

This kind of thing is too much to forgive. Xuan Qing thought about it carefully. In fact, from the beginning to the present, A Luo has not treated him as he said, but now it is his own choice. To put it bluntly, it is just bad luck. That's great, she was pregnant with Xia Xia again when she was separated, and when she came back to look for A Luo, it happened to be a life-saving medicine, that's all.

"A Luo, no matter what happens in the future, I hope you can remember one sentence." Without directly answering A Luo's question, Xuan Qing said very flatly.

"Okay, I must remember, as long as you say it." A Luo vowed, he firmly believed that he would not regret it.

Taking a deep breath, Xuan Qing said slowly: "Remember—you don't owe me anything."

"...!"

"Not before, and never will be."

These Xuanqing thought very clearly, although A Luo hid the matter of the child, but the birth of the child did not bring any burden to him, and A Luo also tried hard to make up for himself, and donating blood and eyes was also his own idea, A Luo did not care I know that other pressures and prejudices also belong to the secular world, and A Luo can't control it even if he wants to.

He doesn't owe him anything, and there is no need to take any responsibility, so no matter what happens in the future, Xuan Qing hopes that A Luo can treat him with a normal heart, and don't waste his life by being owed to him.

A Luo looked at his firm appearance and moved his lips, but in the end he still didn't say a word. After a moment of silence, A Luo raised the corner of his mouth again, ignoring his daughter's presence, and leaned forward to kiss Xuan Qing's lips. .

The person in front of him doesn't remember the past, no, no, even if he does remember, he certainly doesn't know how great favor and salvation those ordinary things in his eyes are to Wei Chengluo.

◇ ◆ ◇

The carriage went all the way to Guangyan Mansion. Although the journey was long, it would not be lonely. Accompanied by Aluo and the children, Xuanqing felt that this was the happiest journey in his life.

The family chatted and laughed, and traveled halfway and halfway. When they arrived at Guangyan Mansion, it was already the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, and in a blink of an eye, the end of the year was coming again.

Xuan Qingben also wanted to tell A Luo some things that he had been secretly worried about when he arrived at Guangyan Mansion, including his current identity, and the matter of A Luo marrying a wife in the future, but he thought so, and A Luo did not ignore it. , So on the first day after arriving at the mansion, Xuan Qing was surprised by the red double happiness characters.

A Luo didn't explain, and silently took Xuan Qing's hand into the gate of the mansion, and the strange servants gathered around them one after another. Arriving at Xuanqing, he immediately shouted loudly as a son, even more affectionate than the rightful master named Aluo.

Xuan Qing was at a loss as to what to do, but A Luo brought him into the main room under the eyes of everyone, where a man who looked like a tailor had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the two of them entering the room, he immediately walked up, aiming at Xuan Qing—— — to measure him.

"This is... what to do..."

He faintly had the answer in his heart, but Xuan Qing still couldn't believe it. He wanted to confirm with A Luo, but the other party just looked at him softly, stretched out his hand to straighten his shoulder-length short hair, and acquiesced.

Unable to stop the tailor from measuring, Xuan Qing had to wait until the end, the tailor completed the task, and then did not report the time to A Luo, saying that the wedding dress would not be made until the end of the year at the soonest.

A Luo nodded, and then paid the deposit. From the amount of the bank note, Xuan Qing could tell that the price was expensive.

In front of other people, Xuan Qing gave A Luo face and did not resist, but when there were only two people left in the room, he immediately said anxiously: "A Luo, the dress just now hasn't been made yet, can you return it tomorrow?" ?Such a waste."

A Luo was sad, Xuan Qing followed and persuaded me: "I know you want to promise me something, but there is really no need, I know you like me, I am very happy, don't spend any more money, it's fine now , you see we are doing well, right?"

A Luo didn't answer, no, before he had time to respond, there was another voice outside the house, it was Xiao Xia knocking on the door, just because there was a guest.

When he first arrived, Xuan Qing was quite surprised. He had just sent off the tailor who ordered wedding clothes, and now he welcomed an acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Han Mingruo was still the same as before, Zimo followed behind him, the two were quiet and moved, restrained and mad, a pair of contradictory yet compatible.

Xuan Qing didn't know how they got together, but it was not difficult to know that Han Mingruo came here leisurely this time because of A Luo, and he understood it very well after listening to his opening.

"Ah Luo, the rush to get out of the house this time...is it because of him?"

When Han Mingruo asked, he glanced at Xuan Qing, Xuan Qing knew that the "he" in the words was referring to himself.

A Luo nodded without shy away, but Han Mingruo was taken aback, looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why? Your voice..."

Presumably, he must have also heard about A Luo talking during the day from the Wei Mansion, so now he finds it very strange to find out that it is the same as before.

"Ah Luo said that once during the day, and now he still doesn't say it during the day."

Xuan Qing was kind enough to explain, and A Luo took advantage of this gap to get a pen and paper, and wrote his own words in the usual way.

"What I like is Xuanqing. My elder brother and sister can't accept him, and they even caused him to this point by accident. I think it's better to separate from them for a while."

The simple and straightforward words made Han Mingruo unable to refute. He took a deep look at Xuanqing, with mixed emotions in his eyes. He turned around and said something to Zimo. Zimo frowned, and finally stared at Ah Luo walked out with a glance.

Then Han Mingruo said to Xuan Qing: "I have something to say to A Luo alone, is that okay?"

People are so polite, Xuan Qing has no way to refute, no matter how curious he is, he can only retreat from the room.

As soon as he went out, he saw Zi Mo squatting in the yard bored, Xuan Qing thought for a while and sat beside him silently.

"What? You were kicked out too?" Zimo asked mockingly.

Xuan Qing nodded, and thanked by the way: "I rushed to save A Luo before, but I didn't thank you well, Zimo, thank you, Xia Xia and I probably wouldn't be able to live without you."

Zimo was so embarrassed by such a sudden thank you, scratching his head, he replied awkwardly: "Not as much as you think, I just happened to catch up... Besides, I didn't want to save you, I just thought That kid is weird."

Even though Zimo was a bandit, Xuanqing still thought he was nice, and smiled, knowing that he was shy.

Zimo glanced at Xuan Qing from the corner of his eye, looking at his profile, he suddenly remembered something from his childhood...

"That young master is really stubborn. I didn't expect that he would like you so much."

"You said... Ah Luo?" Xuan Qing didn't know why he had such an idea.

Hearing Zimo sigh, he reluctantly brought up the matter of A Luo. He said a lot, including the childhood things that Xuan Qing had forgotten.

I heard that A Luo liked to cling to Xuan Qing since he was a child. At that time, A Luo was still called Zhao Ziluo. Even after the two were separated, he often went to find Xuan Qing secretly. Zi Mo met him many times, but it was strange at that time. I don't particularly remember it, but it's really weird when I think about it now!

From his words, Xuan Qing suddenly became enlightened. No wonder A Luo called himself "Zhao Ziluo" at the beginning. Was it also a hint?But unfortunately, I really can't remember anything.

"You said that child was so weird since he was a child, so it's no wonder he looks like this when he grows up. Except for you, the people who stand on him are really pitiful!"

"...How do you say that?"

"Why, you haven't discovered that guy's insidiousness!?" Zimo yelled strangely, "Mingruo and I have gradually deliberated since we knew you were his sweetheart, and later it was verified that it was true, then This guy is an out-and-out bastard!"

It turned out that after the Wei family and Han Mingruo talked about A Luo and Xuan Qing, Han Mingruo felt that something was wrong. A Luo's actions did not match his deep affection for Xuan Qing, and some of them were completely opposite, so he thought that there must be something wrong with him. Hidden secrets.

So with the help of Zimo, Han Mingruo did some research. After searching and exploring, they found Wanyue who should have "dead". Now she is the proprietress of a silk shop.

According to Wan Yue's new product, A Luo and her were just trading, extorting from each other, she wanted freedom and money, while he wanted a double and a protection, but at that time Wan Yue didn't know who A Luo was protecting.

"How old is that guy! At this age, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, so fucking cruel!" Zimo gritted his teeth, "Do you remember that day when you and that girl were taken captive to the cottage? The more I think about it, the more problems I have. Now it looks really good. I bet that guy must not choose you on purpose. He may have expected that I would not let you go so easily, so he chose a substitute to hide the truth. The thing I really want to protect... tsk, treacherous!"

The word Zi Mo is not qualified to say A Luo, but he is really angry, he thought he would take the opportunity to retaliate successfully, but unexpectedly, he has been played by others without knowing it!

"The salesman you met after you left, I said what a coincidence, it was also designed, and the birth of your girl... By the way, you were sent away once, right? Maybe that That little husband of yours did it on purpose, because Ming Ruo read Master Xin’s notes with me, and he knew you were a medicine man, so just in case..."

Listening to what he said, Xuan Qing slowly changed from amused at first to surprise, and then became dumb again. He knew that he had misunderstood A Luo in many things, but he didn't expect that he had made corresponding arrangements in those details, It was an unspoken tenderness.

Regardless of Guan Xuanqing's change, Zi Mo talked more and more vigorously, "I almost forgot, Ming Ruo also said that the bracelet on your hand and the pattern of the blood butterfly on your back are very weird, I thought it was for eating you. Make preparations, but when you think about it later, these two things can also keep the medicine man's health intact, so it's really hard to say what the young master is thinking."

"I……"

Xuan Qing was about to say something, but the door was opened just in time, Xuan Qing and Zi Mo stopped talking and turned their heads at the same time, only to see the expressionless Han Mingruo raising his head proudly.

He walked past the two of them without saying a word, and Zimo followed closely, leaving behind Xuan Qing who didn't understand why. He wanted to follow him to have a look, but then A Luo, who came out of the house, didn't give him any help. this opportunity.

A Luo took Xuan Qing's hand, pulled him directly into the room and let him sit on the soft couch, fetched the heater in the room for him to hug, then went out and asked the servants to bring tea and snacks, and placed them in Xuan Qing's cup. The place where he got it, and he himself took the burden and packed it up one by one.

After a while, the two daughters were also brought over by the wet nurse, and A Luo asked them to stay by Xuan Qing's side.

Spring held the doll lying on Xuan Qing's body to tease his younger sister Xia Xia in his arms. She looked cute and cute. Xuan Qing laughed sincerely when she saw it. Glance at him.

Received too many surprises and frights these days, Xuan Qing had no time to recover, but A Luo seemed to have returned to normal, would make him happy at night, and was still silent in the morning, but what was slightly different from before was Xuan Qing's state of mind, In the past, I always believed that others said that what A Luo said at night was all lies, but now if you take it as the truth, he is really an out-and-out good husband--considerate, gentle, selfless, and very cute, the most impressive What makes people happy is that these advantages belong only to themselves!

"Alo."

Xuan Qing called out, and A Luo, who was busy tidying up, quickly raised his head, expressing his doubts clearly and seemingly indifferently: "What's the matter?"

"Well, Mr. Han...is it really okay for you to treat him like this?" Xuan Qing was still uneasy. He felt that if Han Mingruo was such a proud person, and Ah Luo was so persistent, would he hurt him deeply unintentionally? After all, they have known each other for many years, and Xuan Qing didn't want to make them stiff because of him.

Hearing this, Ah Luo shook his head silently, took a pen and paper and wrote, "It's okay, Brother Han still has that person by his side."

"That person? You mean Zimo?"

A Luo nodded, and then wrote: "Do you remember that before you were taken captive to the cottage, Brother Han lost contact and I went to find him?"

Xuan Qing remembered, so he nodded in response.

"That time he was taken up the mountain by Zi Mo. Although he didn't enter the village, the two of them already had a very close relationship at that time."

The last four words are really ambiguous, Xuan Qing couldn't help winking when she saw it, "Ah Luo, why do you say that about him, and there is no evidence..."

"I guess." Arlo replied in writing.

Such childish words made people laugh, Xuan Qing showed a long-lost laugh, and even reached out and punched A Luo, "I'm talking nonsense again."

Seeing him smiling, A Luo softened his expression, looking at Xuan Qing who was with his daughter, he felt sincerely satisfied.
