10. Grace and righteousness

The cold, hard touch at the bottom of his neck forced Xu Jing to stop his movements, and he tried hard to suppress his breath and buried it in his green eyes. After a long time, he said a sentence, only three words: "I'm sorry ......"

"Let's go back......"

Blue Hitomi withdrew her dagger and put her wrist down weakly. She lay down, looking straight at the curtain on the top of the flower window, plain, gray and white mixed together, very sentimental.

"Don't come again......"

If there is no result, why try again and again in vain.

Xu Jing was still buried in her hair, did not move for a long time, and asked again: "Do you really want to be a stranger to me?" Treat each other with kings and ministers? ”

"When was it not a stranger? From the very beginning, it was wrong. ”

Xu Jing no longer pinched his fingers, but his voice was weak, with a shallow and faint sadness. He didn't look up, but still asked, "Have you ever thought about me in the past five years?" Even if...... Just a moment......"

"Nope." The blue pupils didn't move, didn't even shake their eyes, and stared at the top of the tent as if they were dead.

"That'...... Have you ever had me in your heart? At this time, there was no injury in Xu Jing's voice, and the rest was just flat.

Qingtong was still like that, and said categorically: "No." ”

Xu Jing buried his face and stopped making a sound, and Qingtong said again: "You should know that you have always forced me." ”

Words should not be asked again, and words should not be listened to again. Xu Jing took a light breath and resumed his usual cold appearance. He rolled over and sat on the edge of the bed to get dressed. At this time, he no longer seems to be the Xu Jing he knew many years ago, but the emperor.

As if nothing had happened, he straightened his clothes, turned his back to Qingtong and said, "I will give you everything you want." ”

Then he got up and disappeared into the night, just like the previous time.

Qing Tong had been lying on the bed without moving, and the dagger was still lying in the palm of her hand. She just stared straight at the top of the tent, waiting for the doors and windows to stop moving, and only when the qiē was calm down did she slowly close her eyes. And the whole body shook uncontrollably, so violently that it almost fell apart.

When he went to office the next day, his blue eyes were dark and his eye sockets were dark. provoked Yan Qing to stare at her a lot, and asked her curiously: "It's just a blind date, why did you become like this?" It's scary. ”

Qingtong didn't look at him either, and said weakly: "Haven't you been forced to marry by your family?" ”

Yan Qing shook his head and said seriously: "I'm still young. ”

Qing Tong glared at him: "Am I old?" ”

"Compared to Zhao Yanlai, he is young." Yan Qing said with a serious smile.

Zhao Yan glared at him again.

Yan Qing looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Brother Zhao Yan, are you being urged by your family to have children every day?" ”

Zhao Yan glared at him again, and when he saw that he was still going to speak, he had to rub a ball of paper and stuff it into his mouth.

Yan Qing was stunned, spit out the paper, and still said uneasily: "Do you want to go out of Gong?" ”

Zhao Yan didn't raise his head and said, "Don't go!" ”

"Where's Brother Qingtong?" Yan Qing asked Qing Tong with a smile again.

"I've been there." Qing Tong glanced at him - is there really a man who likes to hook up with people and go to the thatched house together?

"You go every time you sneak in!" Yan Qing said and went directly to Qingtong's table, pulled her and said, "If you have been there, you will accompany me again." ”

Blue Eyes: ......

There was no way, Qingtong was still dragged to the thatched house by him.

After going to the thatched house to relieve himself, Yan Qing came out of it and walked back with Qing Tong. After taking two steps, he looked at Qing Tong and said, "Everyone is secretly giving gifts to the seniors, you know?" ”

Qing Tong looked at him: "What if you know?" ”

"Then we have to send it too, and the master of the academy. It is said that he arranged who could meet the emperor, talk about scriptures, give lectures, and write edicts. Isn't there a sequence of these? Except for the succession, how do you know that there is no buried? Yan Qing picked up the purse on his waist and shook it.

Qingtong still looked at him and laughed: "You are so young, you have these thoughts, it is rare." ”

"Humph! I'm not small! Yan Qing was unconvinced: "I'm mainly thinking about you, we have a little bit of work at home, so we don't have to worry a lot." It's you, although you have a godfather, but after all, you also set up another portal. The godfather is not as good as his father, and Lai Guogong has no real job, his brother, are you brothers? Can I help you? ”

Qing Tong smiled and didn't speak.

Yan Qing is right, many things really have to be taken care of by himself. Although Gu Guokun is good to him, he is no longer a person in the court, and he can give her a limited amount. And Gu Mingyang and Gu Minghong are just a little affectionate.

Also, Gu Mingyang is her father, and she plans to rot in her stomach for the rest of her life, so she doesn't plan to have anything to do with Gu Mingyang. I'm afraid that if there is an intersection, it will inevitably not show flaws and cause trouble again.

Be independent and self-reliant in everything, and go as far as you can. Only in this way can every step be taken solidly. Although, it's also a lot harder.

As far as this matter of the Hanlin Academy, Qingtong has not been involved in the dark. But it is done very well, neither stuttering, nor slacking, let alone being known. She just wanted to be familiar, and she didn't expect anything else to be of any use. If gift-giving is of great use, it is not necessarily a good thing.

Because there were a lot of things going on for a while, Qing Tong still didn't go to eat and drink with others in the evening. She came home from her post, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard He Sheng say: "Master, the official media is here." ”

Qingtong went straight to the house and asked, "Who invited the official media?" ”

He Sheng said: "It was said that Master Shangshu was invited by the Feng family." ”

"Oh......" Qing Tong understood, and went straight to the matchmaker.

The official media arrived early, but it was not Mother He who was entertaining, but Mrs. Wu, who had just been appointed by Qingtong to help the housekeeper. The two sat in front of the main hall, ate some tea and talked about it, and when they saw Qingtong coming back, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Mama doesn't have to be polite, please come in the house." Qingtong led the matchmaker into the house, and asked Mrs. Wu to get some tea fruits.

The two sat up and down, and Qingtong said with a smile: "I just finished my appointment, so I made Mama wait for a long time." ”

"Your Excellency is busy, it doesn't hurt for my wife to wait a few more moments." The matchmaker was also smiling, and the fat powder on her face was extremely thick, covering all the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

"Mama, if you have anything, you might as well say it directly." Qing Tong didn't go around the bend with her, and went straight to the point.

The matchmaker straightened up, leaned in front of Qing Tong, and said, "The Feng family is optimistic about this marriage, and Mrs. Gu is also satisfied." Today, I came to find Lord Qing, first, to ask you about your wishes, and secondly, to inform you that the Gu Mansion has prepared the dowry and other things. just waited for the appointment, set a date to marry a new daughter-in-law. ”

Qingtong's fingers rubbed around the rim of the cup, put down the cup and said, "I'm tired of Mama, but I'm afraid that this trip will make Mama run away in vain." I don't want this marriage by myself. If you talk about the reason, there should be a lot of marriage in this world. ”

After that, seeing that the matchmaker's face was ugly, she took out a gold ingot from her sleeve, put it in front of the matchmaker, and said, "Mama helped me quit." ”

The matchmaker was overjoyed when she saw the gold, and hurriedly hid the ingots into her sleeves, and said with a smile on her face: "Since Lord Qing said so, I will go back." ”

"Thank you, Mama." Qingtong thanked him, and if he didn't have anything else, he asked Mrs. Wu to send the matchmaker out.

When Mrs. Wu sent the matchmaker, Qingtong found Green Shadow and asked, "What about Mother He?" Why don't you see anyone? ”

"Oh, I said that I was unwell, I was taking medicine, and I couldn't afford to do trivial things at home, so I asked Mother Wu to watch it first." Green Shadow Road.

"Are you seriously ill? Is it a big deal? Qing Tong asked again.

Green Shadow said: "We've all been there, it's nothing, it may be ...... It's a bit of a heart ......."

As soon as Qing Tong heard this, she understood, thinking that it would be inappropriate for her to say something to Mother He at this time. No matter what she says, the medicine is bitter, and she probably won't listen to it. Then let her be quiet for two days, and she can think about it herself.

The matchmaker was sent here, and Qingtong went back to his yard. asked the green shadow to cook the dishes, took Qingyan to eat dinner together, and then went to the study in the front yard. When I went to the study, I didn't let go of Qingyan, and I also pulled him together to teach him to read and write.

Qingtong was originally a hard-working and studious person, but this son who was born somehow was especially tired of reading. It was only going to make him literate, and he was tired of being like that every day.

But if you don't read, you don't have a big future, you still have to write and recognize this word!

So, in the study room in the front yard, Qingtong sat under the lamp and read slowly. Qingyan, on the other hand, has a bitter gourd face, steps on a small bench, and writes crookedly on rice paper with a brush in his hand.

The lights and candles under the window are flickering, and the figures on the window are the size of a pair.

only said that Qingtong pushed the marriage, although the matchmaker said that the world was in chaos, but Jiang and Mrs. Feng were still not very happy. As for the reason, what is the difference?

The original Jiang family and Mrs. Feng both felt that the two were a good match, but how did they know that Qingtong was unwilling. The girl was determined to marry him again, and when she heard that he would not marry herself, she was so angry that she became ill.

Lying on the hospital bed, he was still crying, and said to Mrs. Feng: "In this life, I will not marry him!" ”

Mrs. Feng scolded two sentences such as "spineless bastard" and "shameless", but there was no way. is a girl in his own family, so he can't help but be so embarrassed that he stuffs it into someone's room and makes people see jokes.

Feng Yu lay down for two days and kept being cowardly. Suddenly, one day, I heard the maid next to me say two sentences, "What is the illness here, and the surname Qing can't see it?" "The more girls go out for a walk, the more men who are better than him." "He also has a son, and he is not worthy of a girl......"

After hearing this, Feng Yu suddenly thought of something, don't lie down anymore, drag the maid to get up, and go out to dress up.

The maid was very happy to see that she was alive, and while helping her comb her hair, she said, "The girl is right like this, she should have been more energetic." When the makeup is done, where will the girl go? ”

Feng Yu looked at himself in the mirror seriously and said, "Make up finer, cover up your sick face, I'm going to Qing's house." ”

Servant girl:......
