tiger wife

"Why don't you talk?"

Axiu let go of Li Jinzhong's palm and said, "I...I can see so much..."

"After watching for so long, you only learned this little thing?"

"Well, just learned that."

Axiu took a few steps back, stood up, and said, "I... I've been reading for too long, and I feel dizzy. I want to go out to get some air."

Unexpectedly, Li Jinzhong also stood up with him and said, "I'll go out with you and take you around the lake."

As soon as Axiu came out, she woke up, her face was burning with embarrassment, Li Jinzhong took him to the lake, there was a boat on the lake, and there was no one in the evening, it stopped behind the weeping willows that were like smoke and mist .Li Jinzhong got on the boat first, and Axiu jumped on it right after him. He jumped so suddenly that the boat couldn't help shaking violently. Li Jinzhong staggered, and Axiu laughed out loud. The water ducks on the side fluttered and flew close to the surface of the water, making a big splash.

There were only two people in a small boat, one master and one servant, Axiu picked up the oar without thinking.Li Jinzhong glanced at him and asked, "Can you row a boat?"

"What's so difficult about rowing?" Axiu said and rowed twice, but there was only the sound of splashing water, but there was no movement of the boat.Li Jinzhong leaned over and stretched out his hand, saying, "Give it to me."

Axiu handed the oar to Li Jinzhong in surprise, and leaned on the side of the boat happily.Twilight had already fallen, only a little bit of cloud light hung on the corner of the eaves, and there were no lights in the house, so it was a blur.The wind on the lake is very refreshing, with a little taste of lake water.Axiu sighed deeply, lay down in the cabin, looked up at the few stars that had been exposed in the sky.

"Have you ever thought about your unmarried wife?"

Axiu froze for a moment, then turned her head and asked, "What?"

"Your dear child, didn't you come to Luoyang when you came to your father-in-law's house?"

"Oh." Axiu almost forgot about this lie, he sighed, and said, "Who is a wife or not? I have never seen what she looks like."

Speaking of this, Axiu suddenly became bolder, sat up with her hands up, and asked cautiously: "Well, sir, you and madam... are you two baby relatives?"

After he finished asking, he secretly glanced at Li Jinzhong, but the night was already hazy, and he couldn't see clearly. Li Jinzhong seemed to think for a while whether to answer his question before asking: "Why do you ask like that?"

"I think Ma'am is a little older than you..."

"She is two years older than me, and we got engaged very early. My parents made an appointment when I was young."

"Oh." Axiu smiled embarrassingly, and said, "It's okay, as long as the young wife is beautiful..." He bit his tongue regretfully, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean that the eldest lady is not beautiful... ..."

Li Jinzhong didn't speak in the night, only he was timid, afraid that he would step on the tiger's tail.Li Jinzhong said suddenly: "You are the only one who has the courage to ask such a question."

Axiu laughed a few times, stopped talking, lay down again, and sang a song with her arms under her head.

He felt that it was too embarrassing for the two of them to be silent together, and he saw the moon above his head again, so he remembered to sing.At the beginning, it was humming softly, the sound was faint, and then gradually the sound became louder.

He sang "May I Live Long", which was a little out of tune, but he was not afraid, because Li Jinzhong couldn't hear it.

"When will the moon be there?

Ask the sky for wine,

I don't know the palace of heaven,

What year is this eve. "

On the surface of the lake in the evening, there was a cool breeze, and he sang such a song that did not eat other people's fireworks, as if he really wanted to ride the wind to return home as the lyrics sang.This song is not like a pop song. It has a classical singing style and classical lyrics. It was written by Su Shi, a literati in the Song Dynasty. He thought that people like Li Jinzhong would also like it.He hummed for a while, and the lanterns along the shore were lit up, and their reflections were reflected in the lake, looking like a fairyland outside the world.Axiu got up all of a sudden, and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful."

The sound of oars is cold and lonely, paddling the rushing water.The boat stopped at the center of the lake. Li Jinzhong looked up at the night sky and said, "It's fine today."

As he spoke, several deep and vast drum sounds of "dong dong dong" came from far away in the sky. Axiu asked in surprise, "Is this what people call the evening drum and morning bell?"

Li Jinzhong asked: "Have you never heard of it before?"

"No. It's not popular where I live." Axiu listened carefully for a while, and then asked: "This is the evening drum, but why haven't I heard the morning bell before? I have been in Luoyang for a while."

"The sun has risen so high and you still lie on the bed and refuse to get up, how can you hear it?" Li Jinzhong suddenly laughed silently, looking at him faintly through the night.Axiu was ashamed, and said: "I'm used to sleeping late, and it's hard to get up when no one calls me. Last time, Ah Ying told me that I was just sleepy and there was nothing I could do."

"You call me Sister Ying in front of others, but you just call someone else's name behind your back?"

Axiu didn't bother to talk to Li Jinzhong anymore, she felt that this Li Jinzhong was really annoying, and always took the opportunity to ridicule him.

He didn't speak, but there was movement outside, another boat was rowing over, it was a little bigger than theirs, and it was still lit with lanterns.Axiu took a look, only to see figures of several girls.He stood up and said, "Someone is coming."

"Don't stand, be careful of falling into the water." Li Jinzhong said, pulling him down.He knelt in the cabin, saw the people on the opposite boat, and said, "It's Miss."

In front of Li Jinzhong, Axiu wanted to curry favor with this little lady of the Li family, so she quickly shook her hands excitedly and shouted: "Miss, miss!"

The young lady of the Li family looked over, but she couldn't see who they were, so she shouted, "Who are you?"

"I'm the master's slave." Axiu glanced at Li Jinzhong obsequiously. Seeing that Li Jinzhong seemed to be smiling, she became even more excited: "The master is here too."

As soon as the lantern shone, their faces became clear.The little lady exclaimed in surprise: "Father?"

Li Jinzhong asked: "Why did you think of rowing a boat and didn't ask a servant to follow?"

"I saw someone on the lake, so I came here on a whim. Ah Cai and the others can also swim, and they have the strength to row a boat."

The little maids beside him hurriedly saluted Li Jinzhong.Axiu saw that the young lady had been staring at him, so she hurriedly introduced, "Young lady, don't you know me? I'm Axiu. I used to be in the East Side Hospital. Miss San, you have even visited me!"

"Oh, it's the second uncle..." In front of Li Jinzhong, the young lady seemed to restrain herself, looked at Li Jinzhong and asked, "Why does he follow father, isn't he the second uncle's slave?"

Before Li Jinzhong could answer, Axiu quickly explained: "I used to work with the second master, but now I follow the uncle and work in the uncle's study."

"Oh." The little lady looked at him and asked, "I heard someone singing just now, is it you?"

Axiu nodded, a little embarrassed: "It's me."

"What are you singing?"

"I hope it lasts a long time." Axiu explained, "It's about reunion."

The little lady looked at Li Jinzhong after hearing this, and said coquettishly: "Speaking of reunion, dad, you haven't been to my mother for a long time, and my mother was talking about it with me last time."

The ten-year-old girl spoke with a much more mature tone than her age.Li Jinzhong glanced at Axiu, as if saying that he caused trouble for him.Axiu just took one look and understood that Li Jinzhong didn't like the eldest lady.

Yes, Da Furen is gentle and gentle, and honest and honest, but she is only suitable for being a wife. If he were, he would not like such a woman, not to mention that he has seen how powerful Da Furen is.He heard that Li Jinzhong liked the third lady more, and had even fought a field battle with the third lady. He thought of the woman in red he met by the lake last time, and thought that the third lady was indeed much prettier than the eldest lady. , young and enchanting.

Li Jinzhong glanced at the young lady and said, "Did you bring Qin?"

"Hmm!" The little lady suddenly showed her childish temperament, and proudly took out the piano: "I just learned a new piece, and I want to play it for my father!"

With a daughter by her side, Axiu felt steady and mature when she looked at Li Jinzhong again, but she was still not very approachable, as if she was putting on her father's airs.The little lady immediately played a song on the boat. To be honest, she played really badly, much beyond Axiu's expectations.Li Jinzhong's brows seemed to be wrinkled, and he stopped playing halfway through, "Stop playing."

The little lady was taken aback and stared blankly at Li Jinzhong.Li Jinzhong said: "I still need to practice, and I will learn from my master when I go back."

Seeing the young lady's expression, Axiu seemed to be about to cry.For a little girl who was only in her teens, it was conceivable that she received such comments. Axiu felt sorry for her, and said, "I think Miss plays very well, and..."

"Shut up!" The little lady glared at him suddenly, as if she had vented her anger on him.He quickly closed his mouth, and Li Jinzhong yelled, quietly but sternly: "Xiao Jing."

The little lady drooped her eyebrows and threw the qin onto the boat. The strings of the qin hit the hull and made a buzzing sound.When they were far away, Axiu opened her mouth and said, "Why are you so strict with your own daughter? You didn't see that she wanted to hear you praise her."

He sighed as he spoke, and said, "But the little lady's piano playing is really not good, you should find a good teacher to teach her."

"You will do this too?"

Axiu exhausted her words: "No."

He is not omnipotent. He is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, because he has learned brush calligraphy and can play chess a little, but he always loses because he has no mind. He can only read and listen to piano and painting.

Li Jinzhong's tone was much lighter, as if he was teasing him: "I thought you were omnipotent, you could do everything with one brush."

Although one sentence eased their atmosphere a lot, Li Jinzhong was so impatient with his own daughter. Li Jinzhong gave Axiu a bad impression. Axiu looked back and thought about it, but she really didn't think that Li Jinzhong was kind to anyone. However, he looked like a feudal patriarch.Li Tianba, the demon king of the world, didn't dare to say a word when he saw him. A woman as powerful as the eldest lady would be humble in front of him. It's just a daughter, and she is born like this.Axiu thought about it, and suddenly realized that her treatment was the best compared to theirs. Perhaps it was because he was honored by his savior. Li Jinzhong had also been kind to him, showing a rare kindness.

They sat on the boat for a while, and someone called them to dinner.After eating, the fat man came to play with him and talked about the little lady and the third lady.The fat man is very satisfied with his life now, saying that thanks to his blessing, he will start saving money now and go out to marry a wife in the future.He felt very kind when he saw Fatty, and dragged Fatty to find Chunsui and the others.As a result, when he saw Shitou, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered a very important thing.

That is, he put his "The Amorous History of Diao Chan" wrapped in the cover of "Zhouyi" on the table. I forgot, it's still on the table!
