"What do you mean by 'don't think too much'? Father was clearly saving me some face. My reputation has been ruined by you." Qin Yining's tears rolled down her cheeks.
When Pang Xiao saw that she was crying, he became even more flustered. "Don't cry. I know I was wrong, okay? I won't do this again. I also care about you. I'm afraid that Father-in-law will betroth you to the County King of Yan because of our old relationship as ruler and subject. What should I do then? How can I justify myself if my good wife is taken away by someone else? "
When Pang Xiao was anxious, he stopped speaking in official language and even revealed his northern accent.
Qin Yining was born in the south, so she rarely heard the authentic northern accent of Pang Xiao's maternal grandparents. She felt that the accent was very interesting, and it was also very simple and warm.
When she heard Pang Xiao's words, she stopped crying and burst out laughing. She said angrily, "You're so thick-skinned! What do you mean by 'remind' you? Father was clearly talking about your shadow, your shadow on the ground. "
"Yes, yes, yes. It's my shadow, not me. Everything you said is correct. " Pang Xiao smiled shyly and used his sleeve to wipe Qin Yining's face. He used too much strength in his carelessness and even rubbed Qin Yining's cheek until it burned.
Qin Yining retreated in pain and glared at him. She said angrily, "Why aren't you leaving? What are you still doing here? "
When Pang Xiao saw Qin Yining blushing like an angry rabbit, he was very happy. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her a few times.
Qin Yining was so angry that her face and ears turned red. If it wasn't for the fact that her sisters lived nearby, she would have cursed out loud.
In the end, she tore the 'Pang family's dog skin ointment' off her body with great difficulty. She was so tired that she was sweating all over.
Pang Xiao kissed her again reluctantly and said, "I'm leaving. I'm really leaving. "
Qin Yining kicked him angrily. "Get lost!"
It was true that a rabbit would bite when cornered. This was too fun!
Pang Xiao laughed inwardly as he nimbly jumped out of the back window.
Qin Yining watched as he leaped onto the wall like a black leopard hunting for its prey in the dark. His movements were light and agile, and he disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Qin Yining hurriedly closed the window.
She went back to her room and crawled into bed. Covering her head with the quilt, Qin Yining thought about what had happened just now. She was really embarrassed and embarrassed. She secretly cursed that shameless fellow again.
The next morning, Qin Yining was sitting in front of the dressing table while Xian Yun and Bing Tang helped her comb her hair. She was holding the jasmine mints that Bing Tang had made for her. She dug them into the size of beans and spread them evenly on the back of her hands and wrists.
Lian Xiaozhou immediately leaned closer to Qin Yining and took a few deep breaths. "Sister, it smells so good."
Qin Yining laughed. "Later, I'll ask your sister Bing Tang to apply some for you too."
Lian Xiaozhou nodded repeatedly and looked at Bing Tang with a smile.
Bing Tang neatly twisted a lock of Qin Yining's long black hair behind her head and fixed it with a small golden hairpin. "Miss, you only know how to dote on her. You've spoiled her so much." Although her tone was sour, it was obvious that she was joking.
Lian Xiaozhou grabbed the purse hanging on her waist and sniffed it. Then, she shook it at Bing Tang.
Qin Yining laughed and said, "Don't underestimate Little Congee. She knows everything. You give her good things and treat her well. She knows all about it. Isn't that right, Little Congee? "
Lian Xiaozhou nodded repeatedly. "Sister Bing Tang, okay."
It was an unchangeable fact that she lacked the ability to speak. Bing Tang cherished her even more. Usually, it would give her all the delicious food and fun things it had. It even took the initiative to teach her about herbs and how to read. It usually took care of Lian Xiaozhou more carefully than it did of Qin Yining.
Lian Xiaozhou was extremely smart. Although she couldn't say it out loud, she knew everything in her heart. How could she not know that Bing Tang was good to her? Therefore, she treated Bing Tang as another sister and was very close to it. Usually, she wouldn't forget to give more Bing Tang skewers when she caught some birds to barbecue.
However, the house was small now. She had to go to the back alley to barbecue skewers where there was no one around. It was very troublesome.
"Hello, Mrs. Cao." Qiu Lu's voice came from outside the door. The curtain was lifted and Cao Yuqing, who was wearing a dark blue fur collar cloak, walked in.
Ever since Cao Yuqing told the Family that she was no longer Qin Huaiyuan's concubine and was now a bodyguard hired by Qin Huaiyuan, they no longer called her 'Concubine'. Because of her age and the fact that she had remarried twice, they called her 'Mrs. Cao' instead.
Cao Yuqing smiled at Qin Yining, who was sitting in front of the dressing table. She smiled and said, "I'm early."
"Mrs. Cao, please sit down. Qiu Lu, quickly bring a bowl of almond tea to Mrs. Cao. " He turned around and smiled. "I asked them to make almond tea this morning. It's very good to drink with Little Dessert. Mrs. Cao, do you want to try it?"
"Okay." Cao Yuqing smiled. Her smile was as beautiful as a peach and plum. When she looked at Qin Yining, her eyes sparkled as if she could see someone far away through her face.
Qin Yining didn't think too much about it. She quickly tied up her hair and put on two pearl earrings without putting on any makeup. Then she sat at the square table with a smile and moved the tea and snacks brought by Qiu Lu to Cao Yuqing.
"Try it."
Cao Yuqing took it with a smile. She elegantly took a sip and tasted it carefully. She smiled and said, "It's really good."
Cao Yuqing put down the teacup and said with a smile, "I'm here today because His Excellency asked me to bring you four bodyguards. These four people are all steady and have good martial arts skills. They're the best people to protect you. "
She stood up and went to the door. She called in four young men of average height and ordinary appearance.
The four of them bowed in unison.
Cao Yuqing introduced them one by one. "This is Jing Zhe, Young Man, Xiao Xue, and Dahan."
Qin Yining looked at them as she introduced them.
Jing Zhe was taller and had a kind face.
Young Man was more delicate and looked like a girl.
Xiao Xue had dark skin, thick eyebrows, and a big mouth. It was a stark contrast to his name.
Dahan looked the oldest. He was expressionless, and no one could tell whether he liked or disliked him.
Although the four of them had their own characteristics, their appearances weren't outstanding. It was difficult to distinguish them in a crowd.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "They're all named after the solar terms?"
"Yes. They weren't originally named like that. However, it was a rule set by … that person. The 24 solar terms were used as code names. If they were lost, there would be new ones to replace them. Jing Zhe is good at martial arts. Young Man is good at disguise. Xiao Xue is the best at lightness skills. Dahan is steady and experienced. He can see the opportunity and is quick-witted. They're all very loyal. Master also carefully selected the four of them to follow you. " Cao Yuqing sat down next to Qin Yining. She smiled and looked at the subordinates she had painstakingly trained. She was very satisfied.
Qin Yining said solemnly, "Thank you, Madam Cao, for putting in so much effort. I understand your good intentions. In the future, when the four of them follow me, I will definitely treat them well. "
