Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

When he came to the street, Ximen Qing was suddenly stunned.I have been away for so long, thinking that Pan Jinlian, Li Jiaojiao and Zhang Xixi must be looking forward to me day and night, but where am I going to spend the night today?

Hey~ It's hardest to bear beauty's grace!Having so many beauties waiting for me is also an annoyance!How can anyone in the world know how hard I, a senior official from the Ximen Gate, have worked?

Ximen Qing thought about it for a moment, then turned and went to the outer house on the East Street, deciding to go to see Zhang Xixi, who is proficient in music.

Chapter 38 Those things outside the house

In the house outside the East Street, Zhang Xixi was leaning against the table, not wearing makeup, too lazy to dress up, listless.

After Ximen Qing's official left, Zhang Xixi sent the little maid to Ximen Qing's mansion every day to inquire about the date of the official's return.However, half a month has passed, but there has been no news of senior officials.

Today the little maid went to the Ximenqing mansion to inquire again, but returned without success.The gatekeeper of the mansion said that the high official has not returned so far, and the mansion is also looking forward to the high official day and night.

It has been a long time since the senior official went shopping with the slave's family.Winter is coming and spring is coming, the slave family really wants to go out for a tour with the officials!Life without high officials is boring!

Zhang Xixi was sitting at the table thinking about something in his mind, but he didn't hear the knock on the door from downstairs.

Which wandering boy was knocking on the door outside, wondering if this is the mansion of the official Ximen Qing? The little maid opened the door downstairs with her cherry mouth pouted, but was stunned for a while.

The mansion said that no official from Ximen had returned, so who was it that suddenly appeared in front of the door?

Standing outside the door was Ximen Qing who had returned to Yanggu County.He pinched the face of the dazed little maid with his hands, and strode into the room.

"What's the pity of my little beauty? Why didn't she come to welcome her husband?" Ximen Qing joked to the little maid.

"Ah! It's a high official! Tell the high official, my sister is upstairs. My sister doesn't know that the high official is coming, so I will call my sister right now." The little maid came back to her senses and hurriedly replied.

"No need, I'll go find her myself. You and I prepare dinner and food downstairs, and I will stay here tonight." Ximen Qing handed over the little maid and walked upstairs by himself.

Zhang Xixi was in a trance upstairs and seemed to hear the maid calling for a high official, so she rubbed her forehead involuntarily.But am I daydreaming? Why did I hear someone call you "Grand Official"?

At this moment, someone behind Zhang Xixi suddenly said, "Why is my beauty still sitting there? Your husband is back!"

Zhang Xixi looked back in shock when she heard the words, and suddenly found that the official Ximen Qing was standing in front of her.

"Ah~ it's a senior official! Senior official~ you miss Shanu's family!" Zhang Xixi threw herself into Ximen Qing's arms with tears in her eyes.

"Beauty Xixi, sir, haven't I come back?" Ximen Qing stroked Zhang Xixi's head, letting her rub her small face on his chest and act coquettishly.

"Your Majesty, when did you come back? Why did I send someone to the mansion to inquire today, but I don't know about your return?" Zhang Xixi asked softly while hugging Ximen Qing's waist.

"Xixi, sir, I just returned to the county seat today. During the day, I went to the county government office to do some official business, but I didn't return to the mansion, so the mansion didn't know that I had returned to the city. Today I miss you so much. , I came to you directly after finishing my work, and I haven't returned home yet." Ximen Qing said softly to Zhang Xixi.

Hearing that the official came to see her first after returning to the city, Zhang Xixi blushed with shame, and muttered in her mouth: "The slave family knows that the senior official treats the slave family well! It's just~ it's just sister Jiaojiao, I'm afraid I will blame the slave family ..."

"Don't be afraid of Xixi, there are officials here, who would dare to bully my Xixi? Where Li Jiaojiao is, the officials will comfort her. She must also listen to my officials!" Ximen Qing put on a domineering official Man's style.

Zhang Xixi buried her head even tighter in Ximen Qing's arms.Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she hurriedly broke free from Ximen Qing's arms, covered her face and ran towards the dressing table.

Zhang Xixi turned her back to Ximen Qing and said: "Don't blame the officials! Xixi forgot to put on makeup today. Please wait a moment, the officials, Xixi will come to accompany you after finishing the makeup!"

"Haha~ my little beauty! I just like the way your clear water comes out of hibiscus, which is naturally carved!" Ximen Qing suddenly picked up Zhang Xixi from behind, put her on the bed, and stripped off her clothes in twos and twos.

Zhang Xixi's eyes were filled with autumn water, her breath was blue like blue, her chest rose and fell sharply.Her snow-white and bright red body appeared in front of Ximen Qing's eyes, which made Ximen Qing's blood boil.Ximen Qing quickly turned himself into a natural decoration, and rushed forward.

……

Zhang Xixi's little maid had blushed and hid on the stairs at some point, but she could hear the music of the zither playing three plum blossoms upstairs...

After a long time, Ximen Qing and Zhang Xixi finally finished playing together, completing the harmony of the piano and the zither.The little maid downstairs obediently showed up to help them get dressed.

Under the service of the little maid, Zhang Xixi finished dressing and tidying up first, and then came to serve Ximen Qing together with the maid.

While picking up clothes for Ximen Qing, Zhang Xixi suddenly found a roll of paper dropped on the ground.Picking up the paper, Zhang Xixi saw that there seemed to be a poem written on it.

Zhang Xixi snuggled up to Ximen Qing's side, and asked softly, "Officer, what is this?"

Ximen Qing was dressing. He glanced at the roll of paper in Zhang Xixi's hand, and said nonchalantly, "Oh~ that's a new word given to me by a friend. Xixi, don't you know how to sing? I'll use it later." After dinner, you sing it to me."

Zhang Xixi responded, put the paper away, and helped Ximen Qing tidy up his clothes.

Ximenqing gained two heroes during this trip, and he was in a good mood.The conversation with Zhang Xixi just now nourished his heart that had been dry for more than 20 days.At this moment, he felt that he was really bright and refreshed.

In a good mood, Ximen Qing hugged Zhang Xixi and went downstairs to drink and have fun with her and share a dinner.

The little maid Zhang Xixi was also called by Ximen Qing to eat together at the table, which made the little maid feel sweet and uneasy.

Ximen Qing took a few glances at the little maid, and thought to himself: This fruit is about to ripen, but it is also a dish for my high officials!On weekdays, she has to pay her to eat more meat, and the big place has to grow!

After dinner, Ximenqing and Zhang Xixi went to the second floor to have tea, and the little maid cleaned up downstairs.

Zhang Xixi played the pipa and sang little tunes to cheer up, and stayed by Ximen Qing's side.The shadows of the candles flickering in the room, and the incense burning from the stove, is very warm.

After a few songs, Ximenqing asked Zhang Xixi to take out the lyrics written by Li Qingzhao and play them to him.

Zhang Xixi unfolded the poem, frowned and looked at it for a long time, and said to Ximen Qing: "Your official, this word is not suitable for playing and singing today, please forgive me for being rude."

Ximen Qing said strangely: "It's a pity, the officials know that you are very familiar with the rhythm and are good at libretto, why can't you sing today? Could it be because this libretto was given to me by another woman, but you are jealous?"

Zhang Xixi shook his head and said: "Your official, you have wronged my family this time! The official heard from my family that this word also has emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, but it is not sung casually. Every time I get a new song, I must sing it. Before you can sing it well, you must carefully ponder the feelings in the lyrics. This poem chanting plums by a senior official contains the sigh of a spring girl who complains about a woman. If the official returns, he will be sad in his heart, and he will be able to sing well. This word. At this moment, slaves and officials are in a strong relationship, but they can’t sing this word well.”

Ximen Qing also carefully read Li Qingzhao's poem by candlelight after hearing the words.After a while, Ximen Qing also tasted the meaning contained in the words.

This literary young woman, if you have nothing to do, write me some poems against women!

Chapter 39 A high official working day and night

"Officer, which elder sister wrote this poem for you, it's really well written! I can't write such a good poem, I can only sing a little song." Zhang Xixi sighed softly.

"Don't worry about Xixi! This word is just a gift from a friend I met on the road, so it can't be taken seriously. Compared to her, my beauty Xixi is young and beautiful, versatile, and I love officials the most!" Ximen Qing coaxed Looking at the pity, I quietly put away Li Qingzhao's poems.

"I know that high officials treat me well! I just want to be with high officials forever." Zhang Xixi acted like a baby to Ximen Qing again.

"Xixi, I want to take you as a concubine, sir, are you willing?" Ximen Qing suddenly asked Zhang Xixi tenderly.

"Ah~ high officials~ slaves~ my family is willing! But, but my family is just a stranger, my family, my family can't be loved by a high official." Zhang Xixi was surprised and happy when he heard what Ximen Qing said at the first time. Know what to say.

"Xixi, what's wrong with Lu Qiren? In my eyes, you are no worse than anyone else!" Ximen Qing comforted Zhang Xixi who was at a loss.Ximen Qing from modern times is not bound by so many concepts of dignity.

Zhang Xixi stood up, threw herself on Ximen Qing, put her head on Ximen Qing's shoulder, and shed tears of joy.

As a person from the wrong side of the road, Zhang Xixi knew that she came from a humble background, so she couldn't get into the eyes of big families.It is a rare fate that I can be accepted as a foreign house by rich, young and handsome people like Ximen Daguanren.

Zhang Xixi never thought of being able to enter the family of a rich family like Ximen Qing, and she was always worried that she would be abandoned by Ximen Qing when she was old.

Now being accepted by Ximen Qing as a real concubine and entering the family of a high official is really great news for Zhang Xixi.

Ximen Qing let Zhang Xixi snuggle on his shoulder for a moment, then he lifted her head and wiped away the tears from her face with his hands.
