MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 58 inquire
Liu Yu's face froze, looking at his sister inexplicably, his brows beating wildly, and asked, "Azhao, what are you talking about? How am I treating Zhao Ji?"
Liu Zhao stomped his feet in a hurry, and there was a painful expression on his tender face: "You, hey - I know that Zhao Ji is injured... Brother, I don't like Zhao Ji, but I also know that I can't hurt easily. Others…”
The rest of her words were swallowed in her brother's increasingly ugly face.
Liu Xiu's face was already ashen, and he gritted his teeth and said with a strange expression: "Who told you that? It was obviously made by me accidentally—"
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhao looked like he had "knew this earlier", and shook his head seriously, "What kind of person is my brother? He has always been cautious, how could he be so careless? Although I am young, I am still sensible! "
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiu felt absurd, and his chest was extremely tight. He never imagined that his sister, who used to speak ill of Ah Shu in the past, would one day justly persuade him to treat Ah Shu better.
He didn't know whether to be happy or wronged for a while, his face was blue and white, and it took a long while to hold back a sentence: "Feng Yu taught you very well." Then he coughed lightly, turned his eyes away, and said indifferently, "But Don't think too much, it's true that I did it accidentally."
After that, he raised his eyes to look at the sky, and waved to the maid who was waiting in the distance, "Bring Ah Zhao back."
When he returned to the house, he was still a little stunned.
When Ah Shu saw him entering, she was about to stand up to greet him, but he came back to his senses, stepped forward and held her down in three or two steps: "You're still hurt, don't be busy!"
After that, he squatted down by the couch, lifted up her skirt lightly, looked at the wound carefully for a moment, then took the plaster from the small drawer on the side, pulled out a little bit, and smeared it carefully: "Fortunately, nothing happened. Liaopao, I'll be able to walk around tomorrow."
Before night came, there were no lights in the house, only a few rays of sunset light came in through the half-open doors and windows.
He turned slightly sideways, and the rays of the sun reflected on his face, flashing warm colors. A Shu looked at the light in the dim light, watching him squat carefully and skillfully, and was a little dazed.
Liu Yu suddenly raised his eyes and met her eyes, who hadn't looked away. After a slight stun, Fang smiled and rubbed the top of her hair: "Trust me, I've been in the army for many years, and I'm used to seeing all kinds of serious wounds. "
A Shu suddenly remembered the scene when the two of them were making books together under the lamp when they married him.
He was born in a declining clan, his family was poor when he was a child, and the world has undergone drastic changes. He once studied in the imperial school, and then joined the army to work hard. The people he communicated with ranged from Tianhuang nobles to refugees and skirmishers. No wonder he has grown so much attentive, and has developed such a good ability to manipulate people's hearts.
Now that he is so kind, forbearance, it is probably because he was used to seeing the hot and cold world at that time.
She pulled his arms and asked him to sit down by the couch as well, and poured him a cup of warm tea: "Drink it, today's tea is not hot, don't worry."
Liu Yu immediately remembered the embarrassment of yesterday, Jun Rong flushed red, and took two sips as if to cover up before putting down the lacquer cup, as if remembering something, and said, "When I just came back, Ah Zhao said something to me. She... I treat you well."
Ashu widened her eyes in surprise, looked at him inexplicably, and couldn't believe it for a while: "How could uncle and sister say such a thing?"
However, he turned to think of Liu Zhao's unspeakable expression when he saw her injured in the daytime, and gradually came back to his senses. She chuckled softly and said narrowly, "Probably your elder brother is usually very unconvincing, that's why she thinks about it."
Liu Yu looked at her smiling face, his eyes suddenly a little crazy.
After a long while, he turned his eyes to hide the intenseness in the bottom of his eyes, took her into his arms, kissed her for a while, and finally rubbed her forehead with his cheek lovingly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I also met Jiang Ji today."
His lips moved behind her ears, causing her to quiver slightly.
"Ashu, kid... stay away from Jiang Ji in the future. I have also warned her not to speculate about you and me."
Ah Shu shrank into his arms, her hand on his chest couldn't help but tugged at the front of his shirt, and nodded silently upon hearing this.
After hesitating for a long time, when he was confused and had to restrain himself because of her inconvenience, he still did not hold back and asked, "Did the king know the Jiang family sisters and brothers in the past? Then Jiang Ji seems to know the king very well."
She is also sensitive. In the past few days, Jiang Chengjun was always a little unnatural when he mentioned it. In addition, Jiang Chengjun's words that day made her suspicious.
Liu Xiu's hand around her waist was stagnant again, as if remembering something unpleasant, his eyes were cold, and he said, "Zuo is just because of his mentor Jiang Gong. I don't know her well either. "
…
However, it was said that Qiu Xie had just passed, and on the second day, Liu Yu had already rewarded several people who had performed exceptionally well in the past two days. Fan Xiao was still young, and he had already become a general tiger Ben, with infinite scenery. And Jiang Yu, who won the first title that day, although he received many rewards, was only awarded a district captain, which is really surprising.
When the news came out, the disparity between the two caused a lot of discussion. In the past, many people believed that Jiang Yu was the son of the former Taichang, and could be regarded as the son of Liu Yu's mentor, and would be treated favorably no matter what, but now, it may not be the case.
Thinking of coming, King Xiao is still a decent person, and he doesn't like the behavior of villains.
Liu Yu also called Jiang Yu privately to ask: "Zipei, I'll give you the post of captain, do you understand my intention?"
At this time, Jiang Yu had put on a suit of armor and entered the army to take up a post. She practiced hard every day.
He bowed his hands and said in a loud voice, "I've just arrived here, and I didn't have any military engineers, so I was able to get the post of Colonel Commander, which is especially favored by the king. Yu knows how to behave."
But Rao understood in his heart, but he couldn't hide his loss and envy.
When he was in Chang'an, he was the favored son of heaven, and after Fan Xiao was a fallen gentry, one in the sky and the other in the ground, because of similar temperaments, he became a close friend. Now that the situation has reversed, although he tried his best to convince himself, this is just an ordinary event in life, and Fan Xiao's scenery today was only obtained by his previous conquests and meritorious deeds, and he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Especially when the elder sister found out, she was also worried and dissatisfied.
Liu Yu calmly looked at him carefully for a moment, then Fang reached out and patted him on the shoulder and praised: "You deserve to be the queen of Jiang Gong." Then, he said earnestly, "The military is different from other places, everything depends on real swords and real guns. If your military merits are killed, you will practice hard, and soon you will be attacking Bingzhou, if you can make meritorious deeds, you will be rewarded again.”
Jiang Yu only felt encouraged, clasped her fists hard, and answered "yes" loudly.
…
In the letter palace, Liu Zhao seemed to be embarrassed.
On the third day, Ah Shu's injury had recovered greatly. She walked back and forth in the house for a while, and seeing that she could move freely, she led Que'er to Liu Zhao's place in person while Feng Yu was resting in the afternoon.
Liu Zhao's house was originally close to Mrs. Fan, but after Mrs. Fan's incident, Liu Yu moved her to another courtyard, adjacent to Feng Yu.
At this moment, Liu Zhao was talking and laughing in the house with his maids. He was really startled when he heard the word "The Queen is here".
She lowered her head and glanced at herself, who was sitting and reclining, smiling so indignantly that her temples were messed up, subconsciously jumped up from the couch, and shouted to the maids in a hurry: "Quick, fix my clothes for me! "
But before he finished speaking, his sleeves inadvertently brushed the tea and fruit plate on the low table. Immediately, the tea soup splashed, and the fruits and vegetables fell, leaving the clothes and the bed in a mess.
Not waiting to be cleaned up, Ah Shu had already walked to the open door, caught a glimpse of the scene inside, and stopped consciously.
Liu Zhao moved for a while, and his face flushed with blush. He pouted and straightened his back with a pretense of calmness. He stood on the couch and said, "Second sister-in-law, let me change my clothes."
After that, the maid was ordered to close the door of the house, and quickly changed clothes in a hurry, so that she was welcomed in.
If it was in the past, Ah Shu would have thought that Liu Zhao was trying to avoid her and didn't want to see her, but now, she only felt that the two people's world was different from before, and Liu Zhao was not so unreasonable and difficult to get along with, thinking of what she saw just now. At the scene, she still wanted to laugh.
But she knew that this uncle was very thin-skinned and couldn't help laughing, so she quickly tightened her face before the door opened and entered dignifiedly.
Liu Zhao's face was full of indifference and reluctance, but he obediently poured a cup of tea in his hand, put it on her hand, turned away and said, "I don't know why the second sister-in-law came to my house, why?"
Ah Shu ordered Que'er to bring the food box in her hand, and opened it in front of Liu Zhao, revealing a few delicate snacks that she had ordered to buy, and pushed it in front of her and said, "I heard that you two If you are not feeling well, I will come to see you and bring you some favorite snacks."
Although Liu Zhao was already a year older, he was only fourteen. When he heard "not feeling well", his face was flushed and his ears were red. But when he listened to dim sum, his dark and bright eyes couldn't help but glance at the food box.
After a few glances, it turned out that they were all her favorite snacks. Since she hadn't left the palace for a long time, she had no chance to buy them. When she saw them at this moment, she felt a little loose.
She pinched the corner of her skirt, looked away with all her might, and said stubbornly, "I'm in great shape, you don't need to do this."
Unexpectedly, As if she hadn't heard her words, Ah Shu suddenly said softly: "That day, you want the king to treat me well, thank you very much."
Liu Zhao looked at her with wide eyes and blushing, as if choked, and muttered, "I-no, it's not for you either."
Ah Shu smiled, with shallow dimples on her cheeks. She personally reached out and took out a small plate containing snacks from the food box, handed it to her, and said, "Anyway, I would like to thank you."
Liu Zhao's face turned redder, full of coyness and hesitation. After a long while, he finally reached out and took it. Rarely and dignified, he picked up a piece of cake and ate it in small bites. The distance between Ah Shu.
Ah Shu didn't see her little gesture, waited for her to take a few bites, then handed her some water, and after a while she asked, "Uncle, when I was in Tantai that day, I saw you and Jiang Ji. Unhappy, I don't know... What is the so-called?"
When she came today, in addition to thanking Liu Zhao, more importantly, she wanted to ask about Jiang Chengjun. A few days ago, she had quietly sent someone from the Zhao family to Chang'an to inquire about his past, but Chang'an was a long way to go, and no matter how fast it was, it would take more than a month to return. In the Xin Palace, apart from Liu Yu, only Liu Zhao knew about it.
Sure enough, when Liu Zhao heard "Jiang Ji", his face immediately turned cold, and he made no secret of his disgust, and said angrily, "I just don't like her."
She hesitated for a moment, then took a piece of dessert from the plate, but no longer pretended to be dignified, but shoved it into her mouth, chewed and swallowed hard, and said, "She is a bit bad. In Chang'an At that time, I personally heard her say to others that my brother wanted to marry her, but she thought that my brother came from a humble background, but he was only the son of the county magistrate, and he was not as arrogant as the eldest brother, so she refused. "
She spoke more and more angrily, raised her teacup and took two sips: "She is clearly a nonsense! How could my brother like her? It's even more impossible to ask her to marry her! Besides, her father Jiang Taichang values my brother very much, where can I get her? Look down!"
