Chapter 397: Self-Confidence Is Not Enough (1st Update)
In the middle of winter, the road is sparsely populated.
Winters in Moon City have always been very cold.
The carriage walked slowly down the cold streets, turning and turning, gradually moving away from the bustling streets, and stopping at the door of the idle house.
The coachman got down and respectfully opened the door.
Jin Xin bent down and walked out of the carriage, wearing a plain white linen robe, with a strip of cloth wrapped around her head, and between the clouds, a small white flower was crumbling, with a bit of weak beauty, which matched her slightly pale face very well. Behind him, Ziqin also followed, also wearing sackcloth and light makeup.
Jin Xin got out of the carriage first, turned around, and looked at Ziqin: "Pay attention to safety on the road, go early and return early." ”
Ziqin smiled: "Madame, don't worry." There are seven and secretly accompany them. But Madame, these days, in order to deal with the old lady's affairs, your face has been haggard a lot, and the funeral has come to an end. ”
Jin Xin smiled and nodded: "Hmm." There you go. ”
Ziqin nodded, turned around and went back to the carriage, the coachman closed the door, and then drove the carriage away.
Jin Xin stood there and watched for a long time before turning around and going inside.
After walking two steps, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Yu Zijing and Chen Qing riding horses, coming one after the other.
Yu Zijing fell off the horse, threw the horsewhip to the family who greeted him, and walked towards Jin Xin: "I'm back." ”
Jin Xin hummed.
He looked down at her somewhat reddened eyes, reached out and touched her eyes in distress, and said, "I'm sorry, I should have gone with you." ”
"Aren't you busy? There is no way to do it. Besides, you go with me every day before today, and my grandmother knows your heart. Jin Xin said with a smile.
Yu Zijing looked at her like that, her heart was even softer, and she hugged her, her chin against her forehead: "Xiao Xin, I'm sorry." I will definitely do my best to settle everything and accompany you and the child well. ”
Jin Xin smiled, something in his heart was swelling up little by little, and he couldn't say a thousand words. At the beginning, it was obvious that he had left him with one heart, but slowly, unconsciously, he still stayed by his side, this man, he has done enough, and she is not hard-hearted.
"Yu Zijing, this is your last chance."
That day, the two of them were lying on the bed, and she suddenly said this, and in her heart, she secretly decided, and finally, gambled again.
Since then, Yu Zijing has been in a happy mood every day, but anyone with eyes can see that every time he looks at her, Yu Zijing's eyes seem to bloom, such undisguised doting eyes.
However, the happy days did not last long, and soon, the situation was turbulent, the northern border, there were soldiers who rebelled, and there was a civil war, all the way down, the goal was very clear, that is, to hit the capital, but there was also a high-sounding name, that is, it was threatened that Bai Qi had framed the first emperor and joined forces with the queen mother to forge a holy decree, and then they ascended to the throne, and now they have a real edict of the first emperor, intending to overthrow Bai Qi and set things right.
Yu Chi took the Yu family army north to meet the battle, although Yu Zijing did not go out this time, but he was also extremely busy, not at home every day, dealing with a lot of things, at the same time, the court was also very chaotic, first Zheng Shan connected several ministers to make a stumbling block for Bai Qi, and later, he was able to reopen the old case when Bai Qi first ascended the throne, which raised great doubts about Bai Qi's ability to govern the country, making the government and the opposition panic.
Jin Xin only vaguely realized at this time that the past seemed to be calm, but in fact, it was all undercurrents.
Unexpectedly, the old lady of the Jin family also passed away in such a situation.
Fortunately, he walked very peacefully, and it can be regarded as the end of his life, but this old man really loves Jin Xin, and when he passed away, Jin Xin still couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Back in the house, Yu Zijing asked, "Why didn't you see Ziqin?" ”
"Oh, there's something to do, let her take care of it."
Pen Industry Mountain. Great Compassion Temple.
The small courtyard behind the nunnery is very quiet, and the original lush flowers have withered away, but there is a proud snow and cold plum blossom that is very warm, very eye-catching.
Ziqin and Mrs. Wuchen walked hand in hand in the courtyard.
"So, Mrs. Tiance also decided to stay?"
Master Wuchen looked at Ziqin and asked.
Ziqin smiled and nodded: "Madame didn't talk to me about the ins and outs in detail, but only asked me to answer the word Mrs. Shi, saying that Mrs. Shi would understand." ”
The dustless master looked at Ziqin too quietly, and his slender eyebrows and eyes were always smiling, "So, poor ni understands." ”
Ziqin smiled, raised her head, looked at the darkening sky, and said, "It's not too early, and now that the words have been brought, I won't bother." ”
Wuchen stopped her: "Miss Ziqin, there is a word, and I bother you to help me bring it back to Mrs. Tiance." ”
"Mrs. Shi, please speak."
"Be at peace with what happens, and do it yourself."
Ziqin was stunned and said, "Okay." Master, I will definitely bring it. ”
On the way back from Biye Mountain, Ziqin sat in the carriage and kept chewing on Mrs. Shi's words, and always felt that Mrs. Shi's words had a deep meaning.
Just as he was in a trance, the door of the carriage suddenly opened, and a man came in from the outside, bringing in the coldness outside.
Ziqin raised her head and looked at Qiji, who was sitting opposite her, "Why are you here?" ”
Qiji looked at her, "Madame is not here, so you don't have to hide in the shadows once in a while." ”
Ziqin looked at him, followed the carriage bumping, swayed slightly, and did not speak.
"Ziqin, how did you think about what happened last time?" Seven and asked.
Ziqin frowned slightly: "Qiji, I think, we are not suitable." ”
Qiji's eyes lit up, "Do you think I'm a Jianghu person and can't give you a stable life?" ”
"Not really."
"Why is that?"
"It's just that we don't feel like we're suitable."
"But I think we're a good fit, we've been staying by Madame's side, aren't we all quite compatible? And you're familiar with me. ”
"It's different."
"Or do you have someone else in mind?" Qiji stared at Ziqin, his eyes were very sharp.
"That person, is it the one named Chen Qing next to Yu Zijing? I saw you go to his house last time. ”
Ziqin was surprised: "How did you think of him?" That time there was a reason. ”
"He seems to have an interest in you, too."
“……”
Ziqin was speechless, wanting to explain, but felt that this kind of thing really didn't know how to explain.
"Seven and ......"
"I see what you mean. Let's just assume that this has never happened in the future. I'm not going to embarrass you anymore. Qiji suddenly stood up and looked down at her for a long time before walking out.
As soon as the door of the carriage opened and closed, only Ziqin was left inside, and there was still coldness.
She knew that Qiji had not left and must have been guarding in the dark, but she still felt a little uncomfortable when she remembered his somewhat lonely look just now.
She didn't want to treat him like this, helpless people's feelings can never be forced, and she can't drag him down.
By the time it was time to live in leisure, the sky had completely darkened, and the snow was falling, and the air was cold and cold, and the sky and the earth were full of coldness.
The coachman opened the carriage, Ziqin walked down from inside, and suddenly received the air outside, and the whole person trembled subconsciously.
A cloak fell on her shoulder.
When I looked up, I saw Chen Qing's smiling eyes: "It's so cold outside, Miss Ziqin's clothes are inevitably too thin." ”
Ziqin looked at him and reached out to take off the shawl on his shoulder, but he held his hand: "Wear it." You are sick, but Madame has lost her right-hand man for a while. ”
Seeing him say this, Ziqin smiled: "No need." Chen Huwei, I'm not that delicate, and it's only a stretch of the way, and I'll be in it soon. ”
Saying that, he still insisted on taking off the cloak, handed it back to Chen Qing's hand, and took the lead in entering it.
Chen Qing lowered his head, looked at the cloak in his hand, smiled, didn't say anything, put it on his body again, and followed Ziqin in.
In the hall, Yu Zijing and Jin Xin were having dinner with their two children.
Seeing Ziqin coming, Jin Xin immediately said: "Finally came, and I still want to ask Chen Qing to pick you up." ”
Ziqin smiled: "I'm sorry, madam, the road is not easy to walk, delayed." ”
"Just come back safely." Jin Xin said, looking at her thin dress, frowning: "Don't stay here, go add some clothes and eat something hot." ”
When Ziqin heard this, she didn't refuse, and nodded and said, "Yes, madam." ”
Yu Zijing watched Ziqin leave, and said to Chen Qing: "You have also been busy with me for a day, just now Mrs. ordered the kitchen to prepare for you and Ziqin, you can go eat with her." ”
Chen Qing smiled: "Yes, General." ”
turned around and caught up with Ziqin's direction.
Jin Xin glanced at Yu Zijing and said, "Looking at you like this, do you really want to match him and Ziqin?" ”
Yu Zijing said with a smile: "Chen Qing has also been with me for many years, and he has done his best for me, and he has not yet started a family." I've got to help him get some help. ”
"Huh. Why is Zhang Luo not good and staring at my side? ”
"I don't look satisfied with other people's."
"Is Chen Qing marrying a daughter-in-law or you marrying a daughter-in-law, do you want to be satisfied?" Jin Xin said with a smile.
"The key, if Chen Qing is satisfied, I will be satisfied."
It means that it is mainly because Chen Qing is satisfied with Ziqin?
Jin Xin was stunned, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Then Chen Qing is going to work harder." You know, he's not the only one who has a crush on Ziqin now. ”
Yu Zijing didn't know Qi and Ziqin's intentions, but when he heard Jin Xin say this, he also heard the meaning, it doesn't matter who it is, anyway-
He smiled: "It's the person I value the most, and I still have a lot of confidence in him." ”
Jin Xin looked at his confident appearance and said with a smile: "You, an outsider, should not be blindly confident." Feelings are the most unreasonable. ”
