Mrs. He is a man of action, not to mention that He Zhi's marriage has not been in her heart for a day or two. It's rare to get good news in Lingquan Temple today, so where will you let it go? So as soon as the group returned home, she asked people to call Xi Qiu.

As soon as the front foot entered Mrs. He's house, Xi Qiu didn't have time to salute, so he heard Mrs. He say: "Xi Qiu, two days ago, you accompanied Miss to Jingming Lake to swim in the lake, did you encounter anything special?" ”

When worshipping the Buddha and asking for a sign earlier, the subordinates of the He family were all waiting outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, so Xi Qiu didn't know about the signing, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then thought about it before replying: "That day, the young lady suddenly came interested and wanted to go to the lake, and when Chen Shi went out, she came back before Shen Shi, and she never encountered anything on the way." ”

Mrs. He was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked, "Since you haven't encountered anything, have you ever met anyone?" ”

Xi Qiu still shook his head after hearing this, and did not hesitate at all when he answered: "No." The young lady made a temporary decision, so she didn't make any appointments with her girlfriends, and she didn't meet them on the road. From going out to coming back, except for the people who followed, Miss has always been alone. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. He's heart was half cold. Although the signed document said that her daughter's good things were about to happen, seeing is believing and hearing is false, and she has no sure candidate, and she just has no bottom in her heart. But when I thought about it, I remembered He Zhi's subtle expression at that moment earlier, and a burst of hope surged in my heart. At the moment, he pointed at Xi Qiu with a straight face: "Think about it for me!" ”

Mrs. He naturally treats He Zhi well, but the housekeeper is also a good hand, and few people in the family are not afraid of her. Seeing her stern look at this time, Xi Qiu's heart was abrupt, and she was a little scared first, lest something was wrong with the young lady, and Mrs. would investigate it deeply. But when I thought about it, there was really nothing wrong with it, so I had to think back to the events of the day.

After a while, Xi Qiu raised his head with an expression that was about to cry: "Madam, it's really nothing." The young lady swam to the lake for a while that day, and she didn't meet anyone after booking a painting boat, so she rowed twice on the Jingming Lake and came back after playing the piano for a while. ”

Seeing Xi Qiu like that, Mrs. He was helpless. She sighed, and finally asked, "Did you meet other people who were swimming in the lake when you were on Jingming Lake?" Or, on the way back, did you see any special people? ”

As soon as Mrs. He's attitude softened, Xi Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this point, she understood a little more. And after Mrs. He's reminder, she finally thought of something, but she was a little hesitant when she spoke: "It was hot two days ago, and there were not many people in the upper reaches of Jingming Lake, if you really want to say that you met someone, I saw a ...... who looked at the young lady dumbfounded."

"Oh, why didn't you just ask you about this?!" Mrs. He was immediately excited.

Xi Qiu was a little aggrieved: "But madam, Miss just glanced at that person." After that, the two didn't get along, and the boat rowed over...... "How did she know that Madame would ask such a passer-by?!"

Mrs. He didn't care about this, she just asked, "How is that person?" ”

Xi Qiu shook his head: "I don't know." Looking at the age of his twenties, he looks pretty good...... Oh, by the way, I heard a lot of people talking across the street as the boat passed by, and it sounded like they were talking about something in the barracks. ”

Barrack?! Mrs. He's thought turned, and the first thing that came to mind was naturally the Dingbei Army that had just returned to the dynasty recently and made a lot of noise in the capital. Could it be that that person was actually a person in the Dingbei Army? But a group of big people in the barracks finally came back from northern Xinjiang, and they ran to Jingming Lake to swim in what kind of lake?

Mrs. He was born in a scholarly family, and she didn't have a good impression of those rude martial artists in the barracks. As soon as Xi Qiu said this, the first word that came to her mind was tiger back and bear waist, and the second word was five big and three thick. So his excitement suddenly decreased by half, frowned and asked, "Except for this, there is no one else?" ”

Xi Qiu replied affirmatively: "No more." After that, the young lady began to play the piano, and when the painting boat passed by, the young lady did not look up. On the way home, the young lady didn't even lift the curtain of the carriage, and she certainly didn't see anyone else. ”

When Mrs. He heard this, she was immediately deflated, and immediately waved her hand and said, "Okay, you go down, don't tell her about this if the young lady doesn't ask." ”

Xi Qiu naturally responded, and seeing that Mrs. He had no other instructions, he hurriedly retreated. When I was about to leave the hospital, my heart was still full of doubts, and I didn't understand what the good Mrs. He was asking for.

On the other side, as soon as Xi Qiu retreated, Mrs. He asked someone to call the housekeeper Uncle He, and without saying anything, she ordered: "Go and check, on the day the young lady went out to visit the lake, did the Dingbei Army also have someone swimming in Jingming Lake." If so, who are they? ”

Seeing Mrs. He's solemn order, Uncle He was also shocked, and thought that something big had happened, so he hurriedly sent someone to investigate. Then after dark, before going to bed, the names of Wei Lai and several people reached Mrs. He's ears.

Coincidentally, when Uncle He was talking back, He Shangshu had already returned, and he was sitting next to Mrs. He drinking tea at this time. Hearing that his wife asked people to check the people of the Dingbei Army for no reason, he was also a little curious for a while, so he asked: "The Dingbei Army just came back, what are you asking them to check them for?" ”

When Mrs. He heard this, she glanced at him, and then spoke first to let Uncle He and the two maids who were waiting in the room retreat. When only she and He Shangshu were left in the room, she spoke: "Why do you think I have nothing to do to check on those soldiers?" It's not for Zhi'er. ”

He Shangshu originally just asked casually, and didn't pay much attention to it, but at this time, he was stunned: "What does it have to do with Zhi'er?" ”

When Mrs. He heard the question, she immediately told He Shangshu everything about today. Including the signature, as well as He Zhi's reaction and subsequent questioning of Xi Qiu. After finishing speaking, Mrs. He added a sentence quite reluctantly: "If what Xi Qiu's girl said is true, is it true that our Zhi'er really likes someone in the Dingbei Army?" But those reckless men in the Dingbei army ......"

Before he finished complaining, he was interrupted by He Shangshu with a wave of his hand: "Madame, don't assert it yet, this matter still needs to be considered." But I just heard Lao He say that one of the people who swim in the lake is named Wei Lai? By the way, did Xi Qiu's girl say what the person who met Zhi'er was like? ”

Mrs. He's face was full of displeasure: "I said, I said that I was in my twenties, and I looked pretty good." ”

When He Shangshu heard this, a little smile appeared on his face: "This is not bad." The person Xi Qiu said is probably really that Wei Lai. ”

"Do you know this man?" Mrs. He wondered.

He Shangshu shook his head when he heard this: "It's only been a few days since the Dingbei Army returned to the court, where can I get to know him?" It's just happened to be one of them. On that day, the emperor set up a celebration banquet and specially rewarded this Wei Lai, but she didn't follow Marshal Wei at that time, so she deliberately asked people to go to the school field. This person is also a young and promising, only twenty-three years old this year, with a military merit has already been awarded the fifth rank of the Dingyuan general, and after a few days the reward is set, this official position should be able to be promoted again. ”

It was rare to hear that He Shangshu appreciated someone, and Mrs. He's attitude was a little softened, but she was still a little dissatisfied: "Don't talk about those false things." No matter how good Wei Lai is, he is just a reckless man, where can he get along with our Zhi'er? I think we're mistaken, maybe it's someone Zhi'er has met before, or maybe she hasn't seen it yet. ”

"It's fateful to come back from a thousand miles...... Doesn't this mean that the person came back from thousands of miles away, except for that Wei Lai, I'm afraid you can't find a few people who Zhi'er has seen recently and come from afar. He Shangshu shook his head and said, "Then Wei looks good, not like a reckless person." I'm looking for an opportunity to look at each other again, and if the character is acceptable, it's not bad. ”

In a few words, it seems that this matter is going to be settled?! Mrs. He was suddenly panicked in her heart, for fear that her own negligence would harm her daughter for the rest of her life, so she hurriedly said: "Just let me not assert it, but now you are in a hurry." You have to let people check this matter first, and in my opinion, we are proficient in all kinds of calligraphy and painting, and we should be matched with a literary and elegant reading talent, how can we find a martial artist with five big and three rough? ”

He Shangshu smiled meaningfully when he heard this: "Wufu? can mix from a small soldier to a general of Dingyuan in the Dingbei Army, and become Wei Yan's confidant, and the emperor values it, but he is not an ordinary martial artist. And she's killed people, she's seen blood, and she's just returned from the battlefield. Such a person is hard! ”

The words "hard life" slammed into Mrs. He's heart, her lips moved slightly, and she didn't say anything after all. was silent for a moment, and only muttered in a low voice: "But, what if she bullies Zhi'er in the future......."
