Chapter 163: Peach Blossom
Su Yixing knows very well what Xia Shuanghan means by not going too far, it is nothing more than "being a man and leaving a line, and seeing each other in the future". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Now, under the circumstance that Zhou Yaoguang has really done something, in the face of her, an orphan girl who has no power and no power, and is under the fence, Su Yixing is not so ruthless as to play any means of killing everything, but only needs to send Zhou Yaoguang out of the Xiangyang Palace as soon as possible.
So on the second day, Su Yixing, who came to greet Xie before going out to the court, said such a meaningful sentence: "Aunt Xie, although I know that over the years, 'being at home' has always been your pursuit when you are hospitality, but sometimes, it is not good to make guests feel that the host's house is too much like your own home. After all, some people are so used to living that they may not want to leave for the rest of their lives? β
Su Yixing is not a person without a purpose, this Xie is very clear. So, thinking of Zhou Yaoguang, who was faintly dissatisfied with several marriages he had mentioned to him recently, Xie quickly understood what Su Yixing meant.
If the matter was put on hold in the previous life, seeing that Lu Ruhui couldn't hold Su Yixing's heart at all, the Xie family might not be much repulsed by Zhou Yaoguang's attempt. But when it happened in this life, the Xie family, who knew very well what his stepson's heart wanted and loved, it was impossible for him to deliberately add any obstacles between Xia Shuanghan and Su Yixing. Therefore, it is obviously impossible for Zhou Yaoguang in this life to marry into the Xiangyang Palace.
The meaningful words that Su Yixing said in front of the girls in the main courtyard quickly spread among the people of the Xiangyang Palace. And the night Zhou Yaoguang left the study, her hurried, flustered, and sneaky appearance was also seen by several girls.
Therefore, thinking of the fact that Su Yixing was drunk in the study and Zhou Yao's naked body smelled of alcohol, the judgment of "the girl of the Zhou family intended to seduce the prince of the world, but the result was unsuccessful" has become a well-known thing for everyone.
"Our Zhou family's face has been lost by you!" In the guest courtyard of Xiangyang Palace, Zhou Zhao, who spent a few days learning about his granddaughter's actions from the maids who did not intentionally block the news, was fainted by a mouthful of phlegm that could not come up in the process of wielding crutches and getting angry. Therefore, in the following period, Zhou Yaoguang, who was busy taking care of his grandmother and felt ashamed to see people, never stepped out of that small courtyard and appeared in front of Xia Shuanghan.
December 11 is a day of clouds, cold wind, and light snow. In the Bafang Pavilion in the west of the city, in the service room with a brazier and a small wine, Lu Shaoyun, who was on duty in shift, was taking advantage of the gap between the two rounds of patrols to drink a sip of wine to warm up his body, and by the way, in the process of warming up by the fire, he recalled the past to refresh himself.
The Bafang Pavilion, which was set up by the Great Xia government, was specially used to receive envoys from other countries. Before and after the Yuan Day Great Dynasty Meeting, the envoys from all over the city who stayed in the capital will always eat and live in this place.
The cold wind that slightly blew the thick curtain of the door, carrying the snowflakes that were blowing one after another, hit a number of foreign Jin Wuwei who were also on duty like Lu Shaoyun. Unlike others, rubbing their hands, breathing, and shrugging their shoulders to resist the cold, Lu Shaoyun, who was sitting at the small table, did not move because he fell into a contemplative relationship.
Ever since he heard Xia Shuanghan describe her memory loss symptoms in the gluttonous building at the beginning of the month, Lu Shaoyun has been thinking about what kind of existence he is in his sweetheart's mind now. Xia Shuanghan once said that she was facing him now, just like he had when he first came back from the border to face her. What does that feel like? After recalling it for a long time, Lu Shaoyun finally remembered.
At the beginning, even though he didn't remember his fiancΓ©e's appearance at all, and all his understanding of her came from the letters brought by his grandfather, but because he always believed in his grandfather's vision and knew that he would not pick the wrong person for himself, Lu Shaoyun always thought that he should marry the object of his marriage. And Xia Shuanghan, who firmly believes in his own judgment, thinks that this should be the feeling now, right?
"Let's go, Deputy Commander, it's time, it's time for us to start the next round." A certain Jin Wuwei, who turned around and beckoned Lu Shaoyun to set off with them to go on duty, cut off Lu Shaoyun's contemplation, and Lu Shaoyun, who walked out of the service room, raised his hand to take something that flew straight towards his face while temporarily taking Xia Shuanghan's matter into his heart.
Lu Shaoyun, who was standing in the snow and looking up, was downstairs in the tall attic of the Octagon Pavilion, and the person who threw something at him was the girl who was reclining by the only open window upstairs.
The light projected from the open window cast a golden halo for the southern Xinjiang girl named Wen Xueying, and Lu Shaoyun, who was standing in the boxy spot of light projected by the lamp on the snow, couldn't help but sigh heavily the moment he looked up and saw the girl standing in the backlight upstairs.
Wen Xueying is not a girl with outstanding appearance, compared to Xia Shuanghan, the two of them can be described as half a catty. It's just that unlike Xia Shuanghan's calm and calm temperament, Wen Xueying, who is now sixteen or seventeen years old, is a lively and energetic girl who knows at a glance.
Back then, after Su Chunfeng, the king of Xiangyang, led his troops to level the imperial court of Southern Xinjiang, the people of Southern Xinjiang, who completely belonged to Great Xia, accepted the Tusi system established by Great Xia for the first time, and the first Tusi canonized by Great Xia.
"Hey, wooden face, that little porcelain bottle I just threw you, the pills in the bottle can keep out the cold if you eat it, you try it quickly, if the effect is good, don't forget to thank me." Standing condescendingly by the carved wooden window, staring at the unsmiling wood-faced Wen Xueying who was sitting downstairs with crooked eyebrows, she couldn't help but sleep, and had been standing by this window for a long time.
"Thank you Miss Wen for your kindness, but Ting Xuan can't accept this medicine." After the businesslike tone fell, Lu Shaoyun, who hugged his fists and thanked Wen Xueying upstairs, waved the white porcelain bottle he had just received and threw it back into the hands of the girl upstairs.
"Hey, don't go! I haven't finished my sentence yet, so don't you want it? Do you know how rare this thing is? I've got you covered! Stretched out his hand to catch the small porcelain vase that was suddenly thrown back in front of him, and watched Wen Xueying, who was walking away with Lu Shaoyun turn around and the other Jin Wuwei, and was so anxious that she jumped upstairs. Lu Shaoyun, don't go, hey! β
Lu Shaoyun, who turned around and walked away from the attic, was silent on his face, and he didn't care about the subtle glances exchanged because of Wen Xueying's demeanor, and frequently peeked at his subordinates, even though he was striding forward against the snow and cold wind, he only felt a little frustrated and depressed at this time.
Wen Xueying, this girl, Lu Shaoyun, who also took on the task of escorting the envoys to Beijing in her previous life, knew her in her previous life.
If it is said that the past eight years of military life have made Lu Shaoyun an emotional fool in his perennial military career, and then he doesn't understand why the girls who saw him at the border pass blushed at all, then after getting married, Lu Shaoyun, who has always pretended to be summer frost and cold in his heart, it is impossible not to see what Wen Xueying's different attitude towards him means.
In her previous life, Wen Xueying had a good impression of him, and Lu Shaoyun knew about it, but when she heard that he had married and had a beloved wife, she sandidly hid all her feelings because of him in her heart.
In this life, I especially remember that in his previous life, Xia Shuanghan was a little unhappy because of Wen Xueying's love for him, Lu Shaoyun, in order not to let his unmarried status provoke Wen Xueying's entanglement, so in the process of dealing with the envoys from the southwestern vassal states who gathered into one, he has always maintained an unsmiling expression, striving for others to see that he is not easy to get along with and then retreat.
It's a pity that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny, even if Lu Shaoyun deliberately alienated Wen Xueying on the way back to Beijing, and got the nickname of "Ice Cube Face" because of his attitude of rejecting her thousands of miles away, Lu Shaoyun still failed to extinguish Wen Xueying's good impression of him.
"Just one Pei Huanting left, did Wen Xueying come again? Why can't these peach blossoms that I don't want die directly in the buds, so as to make less trouble for me? β
Continuing to be on duty in the wind and snow, Lu Shaoyun, who was getting farther and farther, didn't know that Wen Xueying, who was standing by the open window in the attic of the Bafang Pavilion, had been watching his back without fear of the cold, until he completely blended into the night, and then turned around and returned to the table in the inner room.
"Yo, I said what's wrong with you, my good sister, I've been staying in the warm room, but I think you still seem to be very cold?" The young man who opened the door and walked into the house was Wen Xueying's eldest brother, 23-year-old Wen Jiling.
A few months ago, when he was drawing up the travel list to come to the capital to participate in the Yuan Ri Dynasty Meeting, the current Tusi in the southern Xinjiang region planned to come in person, but unfortunately, due to his sudden illness, his physical condition did not allow him to travel long distances, forcing him to give up his initial plan, therefore, as the eldest son of Wen Jiling, became his replacement. As for Wen Xueying, who followed her brother to the capital, she was just an entourage who came here to see the world and broaden her horizons.
"It's not like you're going to blame Lu Shaoyun for that fool!" Wen Xueying, who was sitting on the round stool and roasting her hands on the brazier with the flames, snorted angrily, and then complained to her brother: "In order to give him the cold-resistant pills, I occupied the tuyere alone for a long time, but he was good, he didn't appreciate it or thank him, so he threw it back to me." β
"People are obviously avoiding you along the way, why are you still trying to get up?" Raising his eyes to look at the small porcelain vase placed on the table, Wen Jiling, who regarded his sister's pursuit of the man he liked as a play, teased with a smile: "Count how many times you have touched the wall with him?" How do you still have the motivation to rush towards him? β
"Men are unmarried, women are unmarried, why am I not motivated?" Wen Xueying, who glanced at her brother dissatisfied, and was very dissatisfied with his negative persuasion, waved her hand impatiently and sent him away: "Come on, I don't need you to worry about my affairs, didn't you make an appointment with Su Shizi to meet tomorrow?" So what are you still doing with me, why don't you go and take inventory and see if you are ready for all the things he wants? β
When Su Yixing's biological mother had not yet died in Southern Xinjiang, Wen Jiling and Wen Xueying, the mother of the southern Xinjiang aristocracy, and Su Yixing's mother, the princess of Southern Xinjiang, were very close friends.
After the two became adults and married separately, because the princess of southern Xinjiang lived with her husband in a border city close to the military camp, and Wen Xueying's mother married her husband who admired Sinology and lived on the border all the year round, the two who were not far away in geographical location always corresponded frequently.
When he was a child, Su Yixing, who often played with Wen Jiling because of his mother's relationship, still kept in touch with Wen Jiling after the fall of the Southern Xinjiang Imperial Court and his father became Tusi.
In the past ten years, when Wen Jiling came to the capital to study in order to learn Han culture, it was the talented and knowledgeable Su Yixing who helped him; And when Su Yixing, who wanted to inherit the poison technique passed down by his mother, encountered a bottleneck, Wen Jiling, who was also full of poison and Gu, helped him to reach a higher level.
In recent years, Su Yixing and Wen Jiling, who have always exchanged letters with each other, have maintained contact and provided each other with many conveniences: the former brings the classic books that have just been published in Beijing for the latter, and the latter sends the former all kinds of rare exotic flowers and plants in the Central Plains as raw materials for making drugs. And tomorrow's meeting, what Wen Jiling wants to bring to Su Yixing are also those rare plants that must be picked in the southern Xinjiang region for further processing.
"How about it, tomorrow I will go to see Zhe Chen, would you like to go with me?" Standing up and about to walk out of the house, Wen Jiling, who then turned back to look at his sister, said, "Haven't you never seen him and have always been interested in him?" Are you going to see him tomorrow? β
"Well....." Wen Xueying, who dragged her cheeks and thought for a moment, finally made up her mind: "No, if it is another day, then I will definitely go, but not tomorrow, tomorrow I have to use this time to find him, so as to integrate into his private life as soon as possible." β
"You want to see him, but he doesn't necessarily want to see you! Tomorrow if you let him run away or fly again, then you must remember to come back and tell me the details, so that I can listen to Le Yile and know if it is. β
"Did you curse your sister like that? Are you my brother or not? She raised her head and glared fiercely at Wen Jiling, who flashed out of the door and turned back to make a grimace at her, and the angry Wen Xueying took out the soup woman in her arms, and then raised her hand and threw it at the door.
