97 097: The princess is hard to marry (10)
The breeze came slowly, and sometimes the sound of singing in the courtyard in front of me could be heard, and the sunlight shone through the window lattice, spilling on the ground, and the two sat opposite each other near the terrace of the library.
Flowers flew outside the window, swept into the room with the breeze, and landed on the chessboard of the confrontation between black and white.
Song Jing, who was dressed in moon-white clothes, raised his hand, and his slender fingers picked aside the petals on the chessboard, and then the sunspot sandwiched between his index and middle fingers landed in the upper right corner of the chessboard.
The room was silent, and he raised his eyes to look at the girl who was biting her lower lip opposite.
Li Chen held the white zi in his hand, raised his head and showed a sweet smile at him, the white zi fell, stabilizing the originally precarious situation, and Zhou Jitong, who was watching the chess next to him, shouted hello.
Song Jing smiled and said, "I didn't expect that after a few years, Mingyue's chess skills became more and more exquisite. Probably because of the timbre, although his voice is very pleasant, it gives people a sense of coldness.
Song Jing and Li Chen met again, and Li Chen asked with a smile Do you remember Mingyue who went to Meizhuang to play chess with you?
Song Jing was stunned at first, and then smiled: "How can you forget." โ
Li Chen said again: "Since I haven't forgotten it, Mingyue back then wants to imitate the past and meet friends with chess, are you willing?" โ
How could Song Jing forget the bright moon back then? The little girl was so naughty, she thought she was wearing men's clothes, and others didn't know her identity, but she didn't understand the difference between men and women. Song Jing knew Li Chen's identity when he was in Meizhuang, and knew that Mingyue was the favorite princess of Yongchang by the saint and His Royal Highness the Empress, and now that she was reminded a little, she naturally knew everything.
A few years have passed, and the little princess's penchant for walking around in men's casual clothes has not changed at all.
Song Jing didn't know why this little princess wanted to see him, thinking about it, it probably had something to do with the sedan chair that almost bumped into her on the road that day, thinking that she would just take the opportunity to play chess to make amends with Li Chen. didn't even make a formal apology that day, just ran away with oil on the soles of his feet, even if Song Jing felt that he was very methodical at a very good time, he felt that he was embarrassed and ungraceful.
So, the two set up a chess game in the library of Zhou's mansion, Song Jing and Li Chen played against each other, and Zhou Jitong watched the chess.
A few years ago, Li Chen was very curious about Song Jing, it was because he was a celebrity through the ages, and he heard that the scribes were romantic, so he wanted to know what kind of person Song Jing was. It's a pity that Song Jing was a young man at that time, like a little old-fashioned, and he didn't think he had a cute temperament or how.
A few years have passed, and now I see Song Jing again, he is taller than Zhou Jitong, and his voice has faded from the young Qingyue, a little low, lacking and cold. Speaking slowly, looking gentle and elegant, if it weren't for Li Chen's very embarrassed appearance when he saw him running away that day, he would almost think that this person probably had his own ability to walk around wherever he went.
Anyway, she saw that Song Jing was very stable among a bunch of nobles.
But a lot of things are uncertain, maybe this handsome Lang Jun is actually a mallet.
Li Chen played with the white child in his hand, and his big eyes glanced at Song Jing from time to time.
Song Jing probably hasn't been looked at so openly by a girl dressed as a man, and she is inevitably a little cramped in her heart. How to say it, he knows that the other party is a little lady, but it is not good to look at others at every turn, otherwise he will be regarded as a disciple, not to mention, this little lady is Princess Yongchang.
Abruptly, no one can be abrupt of the princess, even if Song Jing is a mallet, this kind of thing is still understood.
Song Jing thought about this, and the sunspot was clamped, and in the lower left corner of the chessboard, he forced Li Chen into a predicament.
Li Chen blinked, and suddenly said: "Guangping." โ
Song Jing's sunspot between his fingers almost flew out.
Li Chen looked very innocent, "My cousin called you like this, can't I call you like this?" โ
Zhou Jitong was silent, and he didn't know why, he always had an ominous premonition in his heart, in order to dilute this ominous premonition, Zhou Jitong silently picked up the teacup, planning to drink a cup of tea to suppress the shock.
Who knew that the next moment, Li Chen asked again: "Do you have a marriage contract?" โ
"Poofโ"
The tea that Zhou Jitong had just put in his mouth squirted out, and then coughed in shock.
Li Chen looked at him with a frown, and said in a very disgusted tone: "Cousin! โ
Song Jing: "......"
He reached over and patted Zhou Jitong on the back a few times, "Zixi, are you okay?" "Zixi is Zhou Jitong's cousin.
Zhou Jitong shook his head while coughing, "I...... Ahem...... I'm fine......" was probably really choked, and his voice instantly became hoarse.
Li Chen: "I'm just concerned about Guangping's lifelong events." โ
Zhou Jitong finally breathed a sigh of relief, he looked sideways at Li Chen, tears flowed in his heart, his little cousin's behavior was too unexpected, he was worried that she would say that if Guangping did not have a marriage contract, then after your imperial examination, come to be my concubine!
Zhou Jitong said quietly: "Cousin, you can't ask nonsense, and I'm not afraid of abrupt Guangping." โ
Li Chen showed a sweet smile and looked at Song Jing, "Will it surprise you?" โ
Song Jing: "...... No. โ
Song Langjun, who said that he would not be abrupt, fell on the lower right side of the chessboard.
Seeing this, Li Chen laughed, and Baizi caught up, and then forced the sunspot who was originally in control of the victory into a predicament.
was suddenly asked by the princess about the major events of his life, how can he say that it is not abrupt?
Zhou Jitong thinks that his chess skills are not as good as Li Chen, let alone Song Jing, and at this time, it can be seen that Song Jing, who has always had a calm and atmospheric chess style, made a quick move.
This kind of mistake that only a novice can make actually fell on Song Jing...... It's not abrupt, it's a liar.
"Do you have a marriage contract?" Li Chen asked. According to what Shu Ye heard, although the person who wanted to say goodbye to Song Jing stepped through the threshold of the Song family, Song Jing's mother died three years ago, and Song Jing kept filial piety for his mother and had no intention of saying goodbye. Soon after the service, he went to Chang'an to prepare for the imperial examination.
Song Jing said: "No. โ
Li Chen asked: "It stands to reason that you should have reached the age of starting a family, you see my cousin, who is the same age as you, is also married." Why are you still not engaged? โ
Song Jing raised his head, glanced at Li Chen with his inky black eyes, and then said with a smile: "Song Jing has achieved nothing so far, and I don't want to drag others down to suffer with me." โ
Zhou Jitong disagreed: "Guangping's words are not right, although you have not yet made a name for yourself, you have only learned people, and being able to marry you as a wife is the blessing of that woman, why is it that she suffers with you?" โ
Li Chen nodded in agreement, "Cousin is right. โ
Zhou Jitong almost wanted to bite his tongue when he heard this, his mouth was quick for a while, and his little cousin obviously had thoughts about Song Jing, and he was about to pull him into the water when he turned around.
When Song Jing heard this, he laughed, and said after a while: "Actually, it's because my heart hasn't settled down yet, and my heart is uncertain, why do I get married?" โ
Li Chenhu looked at Song Jing suspiciously.
Song Jing, who was facing Li Chen's sight, smiled, how could the golden branches and jade leaves that had grown in the court since childhood understand how difficult the people's livelihood was? Over the years, he has traveled abroad with his uncle, and he has seen all natural disasters, there are poor people starving in peaceful and prosperous times, and there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials who loot the people's fat in the prosperous and prosperous times.
Now that his mother had died, he had nothing to worry about except his uncle. It is just right to travel around and see the outside world, and it is also just in the name of filial piety to cut off the people who say goodbye.
Since he has the intention to travel abroad, what will he do when he marries a wife and returns home?
Let the good daughters of other people's families stay in the house and stay alive and widowed?
Song Jing felt that he couldn't do this kind of thing, so he simply told his uncle Song Shizhao that as long as he didn't get fame for a day, he wouldn't consider getting married. And Song Shizhao has always trusted this nephew, thinking that he knows it, so he also turned a blind eye. Anyway, it's just sixteen or seventeen years old, and it's in the filial piety period, what are you afraid of?
Song Jing said: "Thank you Mingyue for caring about my life's events, in fact, my uncle is already paying attention to it for me." โ
Li Chen smiled: "Actually, I can also help you pay attention." As she spoke, she simply put down the white child in her hand and concentrated on chatting with Song Jing: "Hmm...... Do you think I'm good-looking? โ
Zhou Jitong: "......"
Song Jing: "......"
Li Chen looked at each other with an innocent expression.
Zhou Jitong's heart was almost collapsed, Zhou Jitong didn't think Song Jing was bad, but Li Chen was too tall, no matter how you look at it, these two people are not incompatible, Taiping wanted to be concubines with Xue Shao's two sisters-in-law, and Her Royal Highness said that Xue Shao's two sisters-in-law were village women, and felt that Taiping was insulting Taiping by being concubines with them. Now that Song Jing's ancestral shadow is not enough, and his family background is not enough to see among the nobles of Chang'an, if the little cousin really likes Song Jing, he is worried that Song Jing will be sent to the west by Her Royal Highness the Queen before the eight characters are brushed up.
Song Jing wanted to say that it was good-looking, but he felt that it was too light to say it. Although Li Chen is dressed as Xiao Langjun, as long as her eyes are not blind, everyone knows that she is a little lady! If you want to say that it is not good-looking, I am afraid that it will hurt her heart.
Li Chen said: "I have a younger sister who is about the same age as me, unmarried, and her parents are worried about her family, so I think Guangping is very suitable." โ
Song Jing sweated silently, and hurriedly said, "Mingyue, don't mess around." From the girl in front of him to him and then to ask if he was married, he felt that the girl seemed to have a little meaning to him. However, no matter how confident Song Jing is in himself, he will not think that Princess Yongchang of Golden Branches and Jade Leaves will take a fancy to him...... Until this moment, Song Jing was silently embarrassed, and he didn't understand the girl's thoughts.
Zhou Jitong wiped his sweat frequently, nodded and agreed, "Yes, yes, cousin, don't mess around, cousin's family affairs are naturally decided by uncle and aunt, don't make up your mind." โ
Li Chen glanced at Zhou Jitong faintly, and his tone was also quiet: "Why am I messing around?" Can't I care about my sister's family affairs, as my brother? โ
