Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 9

[Chapter 9: Killing]

Yesterday Boling triumphed, defeated another major warlord in the north who had come to attack and stated Chen Xiang, and tonight on the occasion of the prince’s big wedding, the sheep and pigs were slaughtered in the barracks, and the wine was served as an exception, which was not only a reward, but also a happy wine given by the prince.

Wei Shao personally ruled the army from the age of seventeen, every time he went to camp, he would eat with the soldiers, sleep in the same tent, if he pulled up the city and conquered the land, he would be the first soldier, every battle must be first, but the rule of the army was also extremely strict, the order was forbidden, the soldiers respected and feared him, and rarely had the opportunity to let go of a drink on weekdays. Seeing that Wei Shao had actually left the city and went to the barracks, he personally toasted to the soldiers who fought bravely to retake Boling.

On the wedding night of the prince, he did not forget to go out of the city to comfort the soldiers. The whole company camp suddenly boiled up, the soldiers surrounded him, scrambling to toast him to congratulate him on the new marriage, Wei Shao was full of smiles, but also arrogant and dry, even those who came did not refuse, or Wei Liang, who was still traveling, was afraid that he was drunk and missed the cave, and even pushed for him, Wei Shao was finally able to escape and return to the city, but at this time, the night was already deep.

……

After the ceremony, the bride was first ushered into the new room where Wei Shao usually lived in Sheyang. After Xiao Qiao was removed from his makeup by the servant, he asked Chunniang and the maids to go down first. The maid fished out, and finally the remaining Chunniang still stood there, refusing to go out.

Chunniang’s husband was originally a soldier of the Qiao family, she gave birth to a daughter at the age of twenty, she did not have a confinement, her husband unfortunately died in a battle, the in-laws did not tolerate her, to remarry her for money, and then found out that a new female prince in the Jun’s mansion was looking for a suitable nursing mother, thinking that if she could be selected, the money would be more than that of the daughter-in-law who sold her daughter-in-law, so she looked for a way to find a way to get in. ChunNiang looks healthy, Xiao Qiao’s mother inquired about it, she is usually safe and sincere, without her husband, her in-laws will sell her, and she can’t bear it, and her husband is fighting for the Qiao family and dying, so she does not hesitate to ask the godmother to let her be Xiao Qiao’s nursing mother after she cleanses her body. Chunniang is grateful for the picture report, and caresses Little Qiao with her heart, and has been shaking it so far. Now that Xiao Qiao is far away from marriage, she naturally does not give up and accompanies her.

At this moment, the flower candle in the cave room was originally a beautiful scenery, but it always seemed to be less than a consummation. ChunNiang thought of Wei Shao, who had just been glimpsed, long and strong, Kong Wu was powerful, and at a glance, she knew that she was used to licking blood with a knife head, but the daughter of Jun was delicate and timid, and her thighs were probably not as thick as his outstretched arms, plus she was just in the same year, lest Wei Shao be violent, if she was rude, I was afraid that she would suffer hardships, and her heart would not be able to let go.

Although Chunniang is a, she is also like a half-mother. Little Qiao saw that she looked at herself and stopped talking, a look of concern, but went up to comfort.

Chunniang tried her best to show a look of joy, attached to Xiao Qiao’s ear, and repeatedly advised, saying that when Wei Hou entered the room and performed the courtesy of zhou gong with her, do not forget to serve him in a delicate state, arouse his pity, and the man who has compassion will be gentle with nature.

“Don’t be strong. Remember, remember!

Little Joe listened to her tell herself so repeatedly, and only then did she understand the reason why she had just been reluctant to leave. Although the two generations are human, about the experience in this area is not enough, after listening to the face, I still can’t help but blush slightly, and I nodded my head carelessly.

ChunNiang then released her hand and walked out of the new house three times in one step.

……

In the end, there was only Xiao Qiao left in the room, waiting for the arrival of the groom Wei Shao.

This is a boxy and spacious bedroom, and the entrance is equipped with a six-panel black-faced vermilion painted cloud dragon pattern folding screen that is higher than the top of the person, dividing the bedroom into two rooms inside and outside. A large bed is placed next to the side of the screen, and the bed is laid with new red bedding, which is neatly pillowed, and the tent head on one side is draped with a grain pattern double jade bi, which is both decorative and new room to drive away evil spirits. On the opposite floor, there is a rectangular low bed for sitting, covered with a mattress, a table in the middle, the rest of the cabinets and boxes are placed against the wall, and above the lampstand, a pair of red candles as thick as children’s arms are burning, and there are no extra ornaments in the room.

Little Joe finished looking at the room, stood in the middle, and stared at the red candle.

About to be affected by chunniang’s advice just now, staying still, little Qiao, who originally did not have a big feeling, gradually became a little nervous.

In the past life, Xiao Qiao secretly met with his cousin Big Qiao many years later, when Wei Shao was about to become emperor, and there was a woman around him, who was said to be very pampered, and although Big Qiao was nominally his wife, he ignored her and left her to fend for himself.

It was also at that meeting that Little Joe learned that he hadn’t touched a finger from the first day Big Joe married him.

Although Big Qiao is not as good as Little Qiao Tianxiang, he is also very beautiful. The fact that he did not touch a beautiful woman who had become his wife showed how much he hated Joe’s family. Hating it to such a point, but agreeing to marry Qiao Nu, the depth of the heart, the ability to endure, is not something that ordinary people can do.

It was with such a preconceived impression that Xiao Qiao felt that tonight, this Wei Shao should not touch himself. But as long as it doesn’t happen, everything is uncertain.

What if?

If he were to live in a normal round with himself, look at his body size and weight, sit down and weigh heavily, maybe he would be able to spit himself out of blood, if he was in a bad mood again–this possibility is extremely high, if he has a beastly haircut, he is now suitable for marriage in the eyes of the people at the time, but in fact, it will take two more days to barely make up the body of the fifteen-year-old, I am afraid that I really can’t eat it.

She really couldn’t imagine herself doing that kind of thing when she was doing that kind of thing, as Chunniang had told her, to be a soft kegang under him. Xiao Qiao had married Liu Yan in her previous life, but as herself, although she did not know anything, after all, she had not had time to accumulate some practical experience in this regard, and she had become Xiao Qiao today.

The more Little Qiao thought about it, the more bottomless he became, and finally settled down, and continued to sit on the low bed on the ground opposite the big bed in a daze.

……

When she first came here, she was not used to sitting in a human position. At present, high-legged stools only appear in the northern Hu tribes, and sitting on high legs is also regarded as a rude and rude move. As long as she sits down, she can only maintain two postures in front of people. Either the hips fall on the heels and kneel, which is a more relaxed daily sitting posture, or the hips are lifted and the upper body is straight, called long kneeling, also known as sitting, which is a sitting posture that is ready to get up or welcome guests, showing respect for others.

No matter what kind of sitting posture, Xiao Qiao could not maintain it for a long time, let alone be like Chunniang, sitting for an hour and not moving to embroider needlework. In the past, at home, as long as there was no outsider in front of her, she was afraid of being rebuked by Chunniang for being indecent, she often switched to a sitting position with her feet straight to relax her legs, so until now she still did not learn the ability to sit on her knees for a long time.

Xiao Qiao was sitting precariously on the bed for a long time, but he still did not see Wei Shao return. It was quiet outside, and nothing could be heard, so he straightened his legs, fished a chest from the side, relaxed his limbs, and half lay down and half leaned on the bed.

It was freezing cold outside, the brazier in the house was burning vigorously, warm, and there was a faint smell of incense in the air. Last night she didn’t sleep well, and today she tossed and turned another day, and gradually, when Little Joe was sleepy and hazy and about to fall asleep, there was a sudden movement in her ears.

Someone’s coming. Then she heard the maid outside calling, “Male jungui.” The

male monarch is the honorific title of the concubine of the family to the male master, as opposed to the female monarch.

Little Joe’s sleepy worm immediately ran, rubbed his eyes, and climbed up from the bed, just returned to the kneeling position, he heard the sound of the door leaf being pushed open, looked up, and saw a tall figure behind the screen dangling, it seemed not to stand steady, and hit a toe.

Little Qiao was startled, hurriedly stood up straight, ready to stay to see the end, the figure had stabilized, turned the screen, and appeared in front of her.

Could it be Wei Shao?

He seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, the original cold line of the face is also slightly glowing out of the color, after coming in, he went straight inside, he untied the crown of his hair, “Whoops” a casual throw in front of the mirror table, did not look at the opposite is still straight on the upper body kneeling on the bed of the little Joe, turned around and walked towards the big bed, arrived, a handful of open the tent, Yu Bi hit each other, emitting Qingyue’s jade sound.

Then, twoWith the sound of “bang” and “bang” boots landing on the ground, the house was quiet.

……

Little Joe saw him go straight to bed, as if he had fallen asleep in the blink of an eye, and his back, which had been a little taut, finally relaxed.

She exhaled a breath, stared at Wei Shao on the bed, and slowly returned to a kneeling position.

He should have really fallen asleep. Or maybe drunk.

For a long time, Xiao Qiao slowly straightened his legs again, clenched his hands into fists, and gently pounded his sore legs, returning to the position he had just been half-leaning and half-lying.

In this way, the two are bedridden and one is in bed, and they are safe with each other.

The air in the room, in addition to the original incense, was mixed with some wine from Wei Shao’s body. After smelling for a long time, I didn’t feel it, but my head was smoked a little drowsy.

The night was already very deep. Xiao Qiao just sat on the bed like this, dozing off dimly for a while, and then suddenly woke up, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw that Wei Shao was still lying on the same high bed as before, so he relaxed again and dozed off again. This was repeated several times, and the last time she woke up, she was frozen.

It was still dark outside the window. Look at the length of the candlestick burning on the candlestick, it should be about four days. The charcoal fire in the brazier was also nearly white ash, and only some warm residual temperature was emitted, and as soon as the house was cold, the chill outside seeped in.

Xiao Qiao was cold, his hands were intertwined, he rubbed the two arms that had been frozen out of a layer of fine goosebumps, it was estimated that it would be a while before dawn, staring at Wei Shao on the bed, seeing that he did not move for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally got off the ground, crept towards the bed.

Nowadays, the custom in the bedroom of the aristocratic class, whether the husband and wife are the same, will always put two quilts on the bed.

Wei Shao was only lying on the outer side of the edge of the bed, and there was no cover, and the two quilts were placed on the inside of the bed at the moment, neatly stacked.

Xiao Qiao barely made a sound, and finally walked to the end of the bed and stopped at wei Shao’s feet.

She glanced at him quietly.

He was lying on his back, because he had long legs and occupied most of the bed, and the red wine on his face when he first came in in the middle of the night had faded. Perhaps the light in the corner of the bed could not be illuminated, the light was slightly dim, the face looked unusually peaceful, a pair of thick black sword eyebrows became more and more eye-catching, the two eyes were closed, and the sleep was still very heavy.

Xiao Qiao held his breath, leaned forward as slowly as possible, his body crossed his legs, stretched out a hand to reach over, and when he tried to take out the bed that was close to him, Wei Shao under him seemed to suddenly wake up, opened his eyes without warning, and then, the sword sheath sound of the “servant” next to her ear, she had not yet seen clearly what was going on, Wei Shao had quickly drawn a long sword from under the pillow, and the person also turned over from the bed, and the ear was cold. The tip of the sword pressed against the side of her throat.

All of this happened, but between the electric light and flint.

Little Joe froze.

She could clearly feel the chill that came through the blade of her sword against the skin of her neck. It feels completely different from the cold in the air.

She could even smell a faint rusty sweetness.

She knew it was the smell of blood.

She slowly turned her head back to meet his eyes.

His eyes still had a faint red streak of blood, revealing a faint wisp of murderous qi.

“I’m a little cold, just because I want to get the quilt.” Don’t want to but alarm you. She said in a calm-sounding voice.

But she was sure in her heart that she really hadn’t touched him in the slightest.

Wei Shao stared at her for a few seconds, turned his head to look around the room that had been arranged as a red patch, as if he realized something, closed his eyes, raised his other hand and rubbed his forehead, and the murderous qi that had been stretched out around him finally disappeared.

He lowered the sword slowly.
