Chapter 25: Abducted People?
When walking on the unfamiliar streets of the capital with He Zhi and Xiqiu, Wei Lai's heart was still a little dazed-she had clearly said that she was going to keep her distance from Miss He, why did she turn her head and kidnap people out in a daze?
That's right, Wei Lai just felt that He Zhi was abducted out of the door by her. Because she was somehow quick to talk about it before, she told He Zhi that she didn't know the way by herself, and the other party must have been soft-hearted and misunderstood her, so he would come out with her. Otherwise, how could Miss He, a person who looks very quiet and leisurely, have nothing to do and wander outside with someone she is not familiar with?
The prosperity and liveliness of the capital did not attract Wei Lai's attention, she had always been indifferent to these external objects, but all her mind was unconsciously attracted by the woman beside her.
He Zhi obviously felt Wei Lai's gaze on him, but he didn't say anything. She was still walking unhurriedly, and she didn't know how many passers-by had attracted the attention of her full body of grace, and asked seemingly chatteringly: "Wei Lai, why did you suddenly think of a person coming out today?" I don't think you want to play. ”
Hearing her name come out of He Zhi's mouth, Wei Lai was inexplicably stunned for a moment, and she said slowly and honestly: "He Xiao...... Jin Rui, you also know, some time ago I handed over the resignation of the official fold, although there is no news so far, but this capital must not be long after. When the marshal found out, he asked me to rest for two days and take a walk around. ”
As soon as He Zhi heard it, she knew that Wei Lai's performance must have been pressed by her father. Although she was a woman and grew up at home, she also knew her father's methods. This pressure is just the easiest way, if Wei Lai just waits, he will definitely not be able to wait for any results, and in the end, it will be over. But if she makes any more moves, then the result may be simpler - although the situation in the north is stable, but this war is by no means impossible, and most of the famous generals in the court are already dying, and it is the time when young and warlike generals are needed to inherit. As long as her father specially sent this fold to the emperor, and said a few words with oil and vinegar, the emperor would definitely be reluctant to let her go. Even if Marshal Wei, the immediate boss of General Xiao Wei, was called to inquire at that time, the result would definitely be the same, because Marshal Wei was more reluctant than her father to let Wei resign and disarm.
Seeing Wei Lai running around for something that was impossible and realistic, and still holding such hopes, He Zhi felt a little unbearable. She looked at Wei Lai and thought for a long time, but finally resisted the urge to bring up the old things again, and didn't dare to dismantle her father and Marshal Wei's platform, and finally had to say: "Then have you thought about where you want to go?" ”
Wei Lai smiled when he heard this, with a little embarrassment: "No." I haven't been out of Beijing a few times since I returned to Beijing, and I'm really not familiar with this capital. Moreover, I feel that the capital is no different from other places except that there are more people and the city is bigger. ”
He Zhi naturally heard that Wei Lai's implication was that he was not interested in playing. The two of them have not known each other for a long time, and they have not spent much time together, but from these few short time together, He Zhi can also see that Wei Lai is not a person who is nostalgic for glory and wealth, so the prosperity of the capital is really not attractive to her.
Her beautiful eyes turned slightly, and He Zhi smiled slightly: "I can see through the essence of the flashy straight road, Wei Lai is really different from ordinary people." But since you don't like the hustle and bustle of the city, let's go out of the city and see what the scenery is like outside the city. ”
Out of town? Wei Lai, who heard this mentions, was really a little surprised. However, compared to wandering around the streets of the capital, she is actually more willing to go out of the city for a walk. It's just that if you really go out of the city, it's too far, and Miss He came out with her today without taking a carriage or a sedan chair, just walking over on two legs? Are you kidding?!
He Zhi obviously made her move, and even saw her hesitation, so she didn't say anything, just glanced at Xi Qiu who was following behind her. Xi Qiu has been by her side for many years, so she naturally understands it, but she is a little unhappy, and secretly sends Wei Lai a roll of her eyes, but she also obediently turns around and leaves.
After a while, a carriage came by and stopped beside the two of them. The coachman immediately jumped out of the carriage, and when the curtain was lifted, Xi Qiu's delicate little face was revealed: "Miss, the car is here." ”
He Zhi nodded, but did not get into the car directly, but turned his head and smiled at Wei Lai.
When Wei Lai saw the carriage, he realized that He Zhi didn't really follow her like this. Miss Shangshu travels, the basic equipment of the carriage is naturally to follow at any time, and she vaguely guessed on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now it seems that the carriage of Shangshu Mansion really followed quietly all the way, right?
I can't say what it feels like for a while, but when I recall the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a faint warmth and touch-presumably the Miss Shangshu in front of me, who was famous for her intelligence, has already seen her nostalgia that night, so she will accompany her through the Mid-Autumn Festival after a chance encounter, and specially accompany her in such a quiet way, so that she doesn't feel homesick, right?
After a moment of distraction, Wei Lai had already reined in his mind when He Zhi turned around, and when he looked at the other party again, he was not only amazed by the other party's smile, but his heart was also so soft that it couldn't be seen. She curled her lips and smiled slightly as usual, but her voice was more than a little softer than before: "Jin Rui is kind, and it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”
He Zhi saw a slight change in Wei Lai's attitude, but she didn't delve into what it was, perhaps in her opinion, this qiē was inevitable. Because if you are really good to someone, then the other person will always notice and will always respond, but sooner or later.
The coachman had already taken a small stool to step on and put it on the side of the carriage, and Xi Qiu was also about to jump off the carriage to help her young lady, but before she could act, she was stopped by a faint glance from her young lady, and could only sit honestly on the carriage and wait.
Wei Lai didn't notice this, and perhaps she also lacked awareness of the existence of "subordinates" in her thoughts. So when she saw He Zhi carefully getting into the car with her skirt, her first reaction was to hurry forward to help her, instead of expressing dissatisfaction with Xi Qiu, who was sitting firmly in the car, and then asked her to get out of the car quickly to help her young lady.
The coachman silently glanced up, and without daring to say anything, he lowered his head again. When He Zhi was helped into the car by Wei Lai, and Wei Lai himself jumped into the carriage, he silently sat back in the driver's seat. Then the reins in his hand trembled slightly, the whip flicked, and with a crisp sound of "pop", the horse pulling the cart also walked forward with a "click".
Wei Lai in the carriage felt a little restrained. She didn't want to come in, but the driving space outside was not spacious, and she really didn't want to squeeze with the five big and three thick coachmen, so she cheekily entered the carriage. But at this moment, looking at Miss He, who looked gentle and graceful on the other side, Wei Lai only felt that his heartbeat was a little abnormal.
The carriage walked unhurriedly, and He Zhi seemed to be aware of Wei Lai's restraints. This was not what she wanted, so she immediately opened her mouth to divert the other party's attention: "The scenery in the eastern suburbs is good, and there are many gardens built for tourists to enjoy." The weather has been good lately, and the maple leaves in the maple forest in the eastern suburbs should be red, so it's not bad to have a visit in the past. ”
He Zhi opened her mouth, and the atmosphere in the carriage was not so depressing after all. Wei Lai breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Really? I haven't seen a maple forest yet. I haven't seen much good scenery in northern Xinjiang in recent years, and I haven't even seen a few maple trees, but if there is no war at this time in previous years, we will make an appointment to go up the mountain to hunt. ”
"Autumn is high and cool, and it is indeed a good time for autumn hunting." He Zhi smiled: "My father often praises General Xiao Wei for his young and promising, presumably Wei Lai's archery skills must not be bad, right?" In previous years, I also went out with my brothers, and I saw them hunting, but unfortunately there was no gain. ”
When Xi Qiu heard this, he silently twisted his head out of the car window. Although she wanted to ask her young lady, didn't she see the clothes and robes made of precious furs that the young masters hunted for her every year?!。
