My Wife, Something is Wrong

  Chapter 76 The Story of the West Chamber

  At the corner of the wall, Samuume stands alone.

  A branch protrudes obliquely, across the beautifully carved window lattice, with plum blossoms dotted on it, and a few of them are already in full bloom.

  The petals are pink and delicate, with a subtle fragrance floating.

  Like the girl in the window, under the cover of the curtain of snowflakes outside the window, there is a kind of lonely beauty.

  Luo Qingzhou stepped on the path made of cobblestones, walked to the slanting plum in front of the window, bowed his head and cupped his hands, and said respectfully, "Second Miss."

Qin Weimo had stood up from the chair, looked at him softly from the window, a reserved smile appeared on her clear face, and said softly: "Brother-in-law, you're welcome, it's cold outside, come in quickly .”

  Luo Qingzhou glanced at the room.

  Thin smoke curled up from the censer, the charcoal fire in the fireplace was glowing red, and the floor was covered with a snow-white thick velvet blanket.

  There is a vase on the table, with a few pink winter plums in it.

  The small hand stove is placed by the table.

  In the corner, there is another sheet that is soft.

  The floor is covered with a pink quilt embroidered with peonies, and a small coffee table is placed horizontally in the middle, and a game of Go is placed on the coffee table.

   There are still some girls' clothes in the room.

  Even standing under the eaves outside the window, Luo Qingzhou could still smell the girlish fragrance wafting from the room.

   This is a study room for girls.

   Probably never had a man enter.

so…

  Luo Qingzhou still stood outside, cupped his hands and said: "Second Miss, I won't go in, Madam asked me to visit you. Since Second Miss is writing, then I won't bother you, and I will visit you next time."

   Zhu'er, who was standing at the door, said anxiously: "Master, don't leave!"

   After finishing speaking, he felt that his tone was wrong, and he said angrily: "Young master just came, and he hasn't even had a word with Second Miss yet, how could he leave so quickly."

  Qin Weimo lowered his head to put away his pen and ink, rolled up the rice paper, then looked at him softly and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm done writing..."

  Luo Qingzhou: "..."

He turned his head and glanced at Bai Ling who was standing under the eaves not far away, hesitated for a moment, walked into the eaves, approached the window, looked at the weak girl in the window and said: "Second Miss, then... what do you want to talk about? "

  Qin Weimo stood in the window, smiled bitterly and said, "Brother-in-law, are you just standing outside like this?"

  Luo Qingzhou said: "It's okay, this is very good."

  The two fell into silence through the window.

  Bai Ling, who was standing not far away, suddenly walked to the door, pulled Zhu'er who was staring at her eagerly, and said, "Come on, let's go to the next room to chat for a while."

  Pearl was forcibly pulled away by her.

  The field fell into silence.

  Snowflakes were falling outside, and it was also silent.

  Luo Qingzhou felt awkward standing like this, and said, "Second Miss, didn't you say last time that you want to read a book like "The Fragrant Boudoir"?"

  Qin Weimo's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Did brother-in-law bring it for me?"

  Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said: "I didn't bring it, but I remember a few stories like "The Fragrant Boudoir". If Second Miss wants to hear it, I can tell it to Second Miss."

  Qin Weimo nodded happily when he heard it: "Yes, brother-in-law, I want to hear it."

  Luo Qingzhou pondered for a while, and said: "Then let me tell the story of "The Romance of the West Chamber" to Second Miss today."

  Given that the second lady was sentimental and in poor health, he decided that no matter what story he told, the ending should be made up to be better.

   Anyway, it's a story novel, just make up a happy ending.

  Qin Weimo said softly: "Brother-in-law, can you come in and talk? It's cold outside, so let's sit on the bed and get warmer."

  Luo Qingzhou took a look at the softness in the room, how could he dare to go in.

   There are not only the daughter's bedding and belongings, but also two pieces of daughter's clothes. If he goes in and sits opposite to this sister-in-law and talks side by side, the mother-in-law will probably come over immediately with a knife when she finds out.

   "No, I'm just standing here and talking. If the second lady feels cold, you can sit on the bed."

  Luo Qingzhou declined, fearing that she would continue to invite, so he hurriedly began to tell the story.

   "The age is unknown. There was a man named Cui Gui. He was an official who paid homage to the former Prime Minister. Unfortunately, he passed away due to illness. He only gave birth to a little girl, named Yingying, who was 19 years old. She pointed at female workers and was able to do everything in poetry and calligraphy..."

   "One day Zhang Sheng visited Pujiu Temple and met Cui Yingying..."

   This "Romance of the West Chamber" was originally a drama, and Luo Qingzhou remembered the stories in it, so he only told the key plots in a very brief way.

  Qin Weimo listened intently while holding his breath.

  When he heard that the two met in Pujiu Temple, his eyes sparkled; when he heard that Pujiu Temple was besieged, he frowned again, his face full of tension...

  When she heard that Cui's mother had slipped her tongue and refused to marry, her little face showed anger again.

  Luo Qingzhou stood outside the window under the eaves, dressed in a long robe, and spoke slowly.

  Second Miss Qin stood in the window, staring at his delicate and handsome face, and listened obsessively.

   At some point, Bai Ling and Zhu Er came out of the room and eavesdropped at the door, but they were also silent.

   "After several twists and turns, with the help of the matchmaker, Yingying finally went to Zhang Sheng's residence for a private meeting. Mother Cui noticed the signs and tortured the matchmaker..."

   When it was time to talk about Yingying's ten-mile long pavilion seeing off Zhang Sheng to go to Beijing for the exam, Qin Weimo burst into tears...

  Pearl, who was hiding behind the door and eavesdropping, also had red eye circles.

  But the ending is happy after all.

   "Zhang Sheng was the top student in high school, after several twists and turns, he finally married Yingying, lived happily and sweetly together, and gave birth to several fat boys and several beautiful daughters..."

  Luo Qingzhou made the ending more perfect and happy.

   After the story was finished, Qin Weimo stood in the window with red eye circles, and remained silent for a long time.

  Although I cried, the suppressed and pessimistic emotions in my heart were released all of a sudden, and my heart relaxed a lot. My mind was full of beautiful love stories between Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying, and those thoughts of life and death were gone.

   "Second Miss, it's getting late, I should go back to study, take my leave."

  After Luo Qingzhou finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, and retreated with his arms folded.

  Qin Weimo stood there in a daze, and when he was about to walk out of the small courtyard, Fang shouted: "Brother-in-law, will you come tomorrow?"

  Luo Qingzhou stopped, turned to look at her and said, "Madam said, just let me come once every three days."

  Qin Weimo looked at him, fell silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, what if Weimo wants you to come every day?"

  It was a bit...too bold to say this from a woman who has not left the cabinet, and it was said by my sister-in-law to her brother-in-law.

  Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

  Bai Ling, who was standing at the door, looked at him.

  Pearl was even more astonished, how could Miss...

  Qin Weimo smiled softly, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere: "Brother-in-law, I was joking with you. Thank you brother-in-law today, Weimo is very happy. Three days later, Weimo will wait for brother-in-law again."

"Um."

  Luo Qingzhou responded, without further words, turned to look at Bai Ling at the door: "Aren't you leaving?"

  Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and hurriedly ran out of the eaves, opened the flower umbrella in his hand, waved to the weak girl in the window: "Second Miss, we're leaving, see you in three days."

  She ran up to Luo Qingzhou and handed over the umbrella in her hand.

  Luo Qingzhou took the umbrella and put it on top of her head, covering her from the wind and snow, walked out of the small courtyard side by side, and disappeared around the corner.

  Qin Weimo stood in the window, stunned for a while, Fang murmured: "Zhu'er, tell me, will my brother-in-law be like Zhang Sheng, the top student in high school?"

  Pearl looked at her worriedly, and said in a low voice: "Miss, you... how could you say that just now..."

  Qin Weimo came back to his senses, smiled slightly, spread out the rice paper that was just rolled up, looked at the poem on it, his clear and beautiful face was as calm as water: "I'm speaking from the heart, why can't I say it?"

  Pearl looked at her with wide eyes.

  Outside the window, snowflakes were falling, silently.

  The branch of red plum leaning under the eaves, wrapped in freshly fallen ice and snow, stands proudly, with the same fragrance.

   "Grandpa, the story you just told is really nice. Miss Chan... and Chanchan haven't listened to it yet. You should go and tell it to them later."

   "I have to go back to study."

   "My uncle has told the second lady, even Zhu Er has listened, and I have listened too. If my uncle doesn't tell the young lady and Chanchan, they will be angry."

   "If you are angry, you will be angry."

   "If miss gets angry, Chanchan will let uncle know what it means to seal the throat with a sword!"

   "Miss will not be angry about such a trivial matter, you don't need to lie to me, and you don't need to scare me."

   "But Chanchan will be angry."

"why?"

   "Because... because the uncle is not good to the young lady, the young lady actually likes to listen to stories, but no one tells the young lady."

"real?"

   "Well, it's true, whoever lies is..."

"dog?"

   "It's not human anyway."

  Bai Ling thought to himself: It's a flower, the most beautiful flower!

   As she spoke, she sniffed the flowers in her hand again, and unconsciously leaned towards the boy next to her.

  It seems to be covered by him under the umbrella, and it seems to be embraced by him...
