64 Chapter 64
The decision to move was not abrupt to Xie Ling.
Long before Xie Xing left to participate in the Autumn Festival, the broad-hearted and fat master had mentioned to her that when Xie Xing was admitted to the promotion, he was willing to write a letter of recommendation to send him to the Lancang Academy in Jinling to study.
Xie Ling originally didn't know what the concept of Lancang Academy was, until Ye Kai and his wife happened to mention it when they came back to pick up Ye Yan, Ding Linglin's eyes widened suddenly, "Lancang Academy? But that school that almost every spring is out of the Yuan? β
Ye Kai was obviously knowledgeable, and nodded and said, "Yes." β
"There is an exception, though." Ding Linglin seemed to remember something and laughed.
Xie Ling was puzzled: "Exception? β
"There is an exception, yes, and he is from Yangzhou." Ye Kai explained to her, "In the fifth year of Taihe, the Huiyuan was not only not from Lancang Academy, but also a son from a merchant family who had never even entered Jinling Mansion. β
Xie Ling: "......"
She seemed to know who it was.
To be honest, she didn't expect Xie Xing to be able to mix to the level of Huaxiyun, so in the two years before Chunqiu, it was still necessary to enter a better school.
And these days, she is also thinking about opening Hefangzhai to places outside Yangzhou, originally planned to take her time, but now it is just right.
Xie Xing was very resistant when he first heard that she was going to send him to the Lancang Academy in Jinling, but later learned that she would also go to Jinling together, so he actually agreed.
Although I decided to go, there were a lot of things that I needed to deal with before leaving.
This house must not be moved, and two servants have to be asked to take care of it, as well as the secret recipe of Hefangzhai's pastries, and they must all be taught to Ah Zhi as soon as possible.
After getting along for so long, Xie Ling can trust Ah Zhi's conduct, so he did not hide his secrets, and strived to maintain his current good business after he left.
In fact, it is indeed not her pleasure to live in a corner, but in the past ten years, she has Xie Xing to take care of, and there is no reason to be so selfish as to do what she wants, so she has stayed in Yangzhou City for so long.
Of course, if she hadn't met the noble man Dr. Ximen, even if she wanted to move to Jinling at this moment, it would be a chore.
Lu Xiaofeng naturally followed her and Xie Xing together.
Before leaving, Xie Ling invited friends who have gotten along well in the past few years to come to Hefangzhai for a meal, in order to take care of everyone's taste, the dishes she made were almost unplaceable.
Zhu Zhu still loves to eat fish as much as before, he has also taken the Xiucai exam, but he did not participate in this year's autumn festival, in his words, he is not this piece of material, it is better to waste less time.
A person like him who has a talent in a certain aspect that overflows to the point that he can be turned into a genius doesn't have to be limited to the imperial examination anyway, so Xie Ling understands it very well.
Yan Yan smiled during the banquet, it was not lively, but she happened to be sitting opposite her in cold blood, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she was about to bump into her, Rao is Xie Ling wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, and seeing him subconsciously avoid her eyes every time, he was still very embarrassed and helpless.
It was also because of the fact that there was almost no communication between her and the cold-blooded at this farewell banquet, and after the end, Ding Linglin followed her to the kitchen and asked her quietly, "Ah Ling, what's the matter with Master Leng?" β
Xie Ling choked for a moment, still thinking about what to say, when she saw her smile narrowly, and suddenly remembered what Lu Xiaofeng said, "Everyone knows".
ββ¦β¦ You guessed it, right? She asked tentatively.
Ding Linglin burst out laughing, "I thought Lord Leng was going to hold it for the rest of his life." β
Xie Ling was puzzled, "You really all knew about it?!" β
"It's so obvious, I'm afraid only you don't know." Ding Linglin patted her shoulder and sighed, "But I can also understand that you don't have him in your heart, and you naturally can't see him in your eyes." β
Xie Ling was stimulated by this fact that only she didn't know, and she felt that she couldn't face cold-bloodedness.
But she can't face it anymore, there should still be a serious goodbye, after all, cold-blooded has helped her a lot over the years.
Although they have seen each other less and less since Ximen Blowing Snow left, she still wants to say goodbye to him in person when she recalls the first acquaintance and the current relationship.
The two met in the old place where they practiced palm skills, there was no tea or wine, and neither of them spoke first.
Xie Ling really wanted to thank him first, but looking at his unblinking eyes and the light flowing inside, he felt that he should not want to hear this.
After a long time, he sighed faintly, "Miss Xie had a good trip." β
ββ¦β¦ Yes. She nodded in response, and then added, "Lord Leng also take care." β
The bright moon hangs on the willow tops, reflected in the center of the clear pond on the side, swaying with the breeze.
The girl sitting opposite frowned, pursed her lips, and fell silent again, and her appearance was very gentle by the night, and the action of unconsciously twisting her sleeves was actually not elegant at all, but it seemed to become very cute in an instant when she did it.
Cold-blooded suddenly recalled the scene where he had pulled up her drunk by the pool three years ago, and after so long, he could clearly recall the taste of the wine she drank at that time, which was almost annoyingly sweet.
So much so that he often dreamed of that smell later, and stretched out his hand in his sleep, trying to hug the person into his arms, but often woke up before he could touch her.
"I'm going to Jinling, and I won't come back for a long time." She paused and raised her eyes, "Lord Leng said earlierβ"
"I know." He interrupted her, "You don't have to say it. β
He didn't let her say it because he didn't think he couldn't listen to the words of refusal, but because he couldn't bear to see the slightly tormented expression when she said this.
Xie Ling was still stunned, only to see that he had already picked up his sword and stood up, and said to her in a calm and determined tone: "I'll see you again." β
She came back to her senses and nodded, "Okay." β
They didn't have much luggage, and it added up to a horse-drawn carriage.
But after all, it was the first time to go out in the real sense after crossing over, Xie Ling couldn't avoid insomnia for most of the night, and on the second day, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep there as soon as he entered the carriage.
She couldn't notice the group of people who had been following them, but Lu Xiaofeng and Xie Xing, who were becoming more and more sophisticated, still noticed it, and at first they thought that someone was trying to do wrong, but they didn't make any changes after walking all day, but they helped them solve a group of bandits at night.
"Hey, do you think it could be those people that Brother Ye mentioned?" Lu Xiaofeng asked Xie Xing quietly.
Xie Xing was speechless: "Won't it?" I thought it was just guarding near Hefangzhai, do you want to escort us all the way to Jinling? β
When he said this, Lu Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders undeniably, "It's not impossible to have Leng senior's heart for his sister. β
According to Xie Xing's previous attitude towards cold-bloodedness, he must jump when he heard this, but this time he didn't, but he didn't say a word, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
Lu Xiaofeng was very surprised to see him like this, and then thought of the previous thing that he said that he wanted to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and couldn't help but ask: "You don't want Senior Chu to be with your sister now?" β
"Don't mention him to me!" Xie Xing rolled his eyes, looking irritated.
"Actually......" He patted his little friend's shoulder and said in a tone of "I know more than you": "Although I also persuaded my sister to be with Senior Leng or not, she can't help it if she doesn't like it." β
She and Chu Liuxiang like each other, but they are still not together.
Xie Xing couldn't understand the reason, and he was even more annoyed, just as he was about to take down the roast chicken on the fire, an exclamation suddenly came from the river not far away.
It's Xie Ling!
He and Lu Xiaofeng stood up almost at the same time and ran towards the river, although it was only a few zhang away, but both of them used light skills, for fear that something would happen to Xie Ling between these square inches.
Fortunately, Xie Ling'an, who had washed his hair, stood there steadily.
But there was a different kind of anxiety and panic on her face.
And it was only then that they both noticed that there was a soaking wet girl lying at her feet.
"I just saw her going down the river in the water, and I was scared." She patted her chest and explained, "I thought it was...... It turned out to be just a coma. β
Lu Xiaofeng frowned and looked at the girl lying on the ground, although her hair was completely washed away by the river and her face was too pale, it was still not difficult to see that this was a very beautiful girl.
Since Xiaojiang Xiaoyu liked to instill in him the idea that a beautiful girl in the wilderness had better not touch the more beautiful she was, the more she couldn't touch it, so at this moment he subconsciously paused, but he couldn't help but glance at the girl a few more times.
Xie Xing didn't have any scruples, so he was about to step forward, but was stopped by Xie Ling.
"You two bring the carriage over, I'll change her clothes first, this frost and dew are heavy, it's not good to wear this wet clothes."
Xie Xing frowned, "Is it okay to take her to the carriage?" β
Change a girl's clothes, and the two of them will never be able to go up, in case something happens in the carriageβ
"She's unconscious, it's fine." Xie Ling knew what he was thinking, paused and said, "Besides, I'm not as powerless as before." β
Both of them knew this, after all, they would occasionally play with her to see how well she was doing.
The current Xie Ling, not to mention anything else, still has the ability to protect himself.
It is not a simple matter to change the clothes of a comatose person, but fortunately, Xie Ling has a lot of experience in taking care of people, and after tossing for a while, he finally changed the clean clothes for this girl who was still cold.
The two of them are of similar size, and her clothes fit well on this girl, the only thing that frustrates her a little is that the bust difference between the two is really a bit much.
Just as she was about to open the curtain of the carriage, the girl awoke.
Xie Ling turned around and met her confused and frightened eyes, and subconsciously said, "You don't have to be afraid, I just saw you fainting in the river and wanted to save you." β
ββ¦β¦ I see. The girl suddenly said, "Thank you." β
She speaks in a very good voice, and with a bright face, people can't help but feel good about it first, even Xie Ling, who is still vigilant, is not exempt from vulgarity.
"Is my sister alright? Come down and eat the roast chicken. Xie Xing shouted outside.
Xie Ling hurriedly opened the curtain and poked his head out, "Come on." β
The aroma of roast chicken wafted quickly, and Xie Ling swore that she saw the girl's subconscious swallowing, and suddenly curved the corners of her mouth, "Girl, come down and eat together, right?" β
"Is that okay?" Her eyes lit up.
Then at the moment when the two of them walked down, Lu Xiaofeng's action of tearing the chicken had a momentary pause.
He has seen a lot of beautiful girls, in Jiang Xiaoyu's words, that is, he is sweet to all good-looking girls.
But it was the first time he felt that a girl could attract such attention.
In fact, her facial features are worse than Ding Linglin, and standing with Xie Ling is not bright enough to make Xie Ling ordinary.
But that's how appealing.
When Xie Ling saw him like this, he thought to himself, could it be that his wandering gene's genes were finally about to fully awaken? Wow?!
However, the next moment, he withdrew his gaze and handed over the torn chicken as if nothing had happened, "It's very fragrant, sister, try it." β
Xie Ling gave half of it to the girl who was still pale, and the other party thanked her in a low voice.
"How did you end up in the river?" Xie Xing suddenly asked.
The girl who was eating the grilled chicken in small bites was also confused, "...... I don't know. β
"Don't know?" Lu Xiaofeng also frowned and looked at her again.
She just nodded, looking a little innocent, "I really don't know, I was in your carriage when I woke up." β
She said so, and neither of them asked, of course, the doubts in their hearts were still not dispelled.
The reason why Lu Xiaofeng was not too worried was because he knew that there was a group of masters following him, and the girl in front of him didn't seem to be too high in martial arts.
She eats very elegantly, like a lady, but her speech and demeanor are more like a Jianghu person. Xie Ling only struggled for a while and didn't bother to think about it, everyone met in Pingshui, after eating this meal, it is still unknown whether they can see each other again in the future, why bother so much.
But the other party probably didn't think so, and after sharing this roast chicken with them, he bent his eyes and thanked them with a smile, and reported to his home by the way.
"My name is Zhang Jiejie, thank you girl for rescuing me today."
Xie Ling didn't think much about it, and focused on gnawing on the last chicken bone in his hand, "It's just a gesture, Miss Zhang doesn't have to mind." β
After saying this, she was a little puzzled, why did this name sound a little familiar? Could it be that it is also a very important martial arts figure?
β¦β¦ It's really martial arts to be hated less when it's used.
"I don't know what to call the girl?" Zhang Jiejie suddenly asked her again.
"My surname is Xie." Xie Ling came back to his senses and replied.
But she didn't notice the corners of Zhang Jiejie's mouth curling even more at this moment. 166 Reading Network
