Chapter 162: Broken Appointment

Xiao Er glanced at her, and then replied with a smile: "The girl's surname is Xie, Wei Gongzi has already left." ”

As soon as the other party's words fell, Xie Ning's heart sank, and seeing that the other party was about to turn around to entertain other guests, he asked urgently: "Then did he leave anything before leaving?" ”

"Not really."

The appointment has not arrived, this matter is indeed her negligence first, if Wei Qingyang leaves because of something, it is reasonable, but the other party's temperament is not like a person who will leave without explanation.

Could it be ...... Did he misunderstand?

Thinking about it, it is clear that the meeting has been set, and his outdated behavior will of course be regarded by the other party as a silent refusal.

"Girl, do you want to sit down and drink tea?"

Xie Ning shook his head, and walked straight out of Yunsheng Teahouse, an undeniable loneliness suddenly welled up in his heart, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth was extremely bitter.

Regarding this family affair with the Duke of Wei, Xie Ning was unacceptable at first. It's not that Wei Qingyang is not good enough, but she never thought that she would have such an opportunity one day.

But after many days of thinking about it, as well as the analysis of the people around her, she has gradually unloaded her worries, and she believes that she is enough to match this gentle and considerate man. She is willing to try, willing to trust the other person, willing to take a completely different path than she originally thought.

Unexpectedly, she hadn't been able to embark on this road yet, and it had dissipated along the way.

Wei Qingyang was very good, tolerated all her worries, and gave her a chance to make her own decisions. This family affair is also very good, compared to most marriage contracts based solely on the words of matchmakers. Xie Ning and Wei Qingyang have been together at least a few times.

But she didn't do it well.

"A-Ning," Qingyue's male voice came from the trance, Xie Ning ignored it, but the next moment he was pulled by someone through his sleeves, and then turned back to Qin Feng's face.

There was silence for a long time, but the other party still did not let go of his hand. only felt that his embarrassment at this time was seen through, Xie Ning looked up and said, "Why did Brother Ziyue get out of the car?" ”

"Come and see you," his hands lowered back to his side, Qin Feng replied slowly, but his gaze never took off Xie Ning's face. "Isn't Gongzi Wei here?"

"Hmm." Xie Ning lowered his eyes slightly, trying his best to calm his emotions as much as possible, before he raised his head and said to Qin Feng again: "It's not early, I'm going back to the Hou Mansion too." Brother Ziyue should go back quickly. ”

Although Qin Feng's face was pale. But there has already been a wave in my heart. Of course, he could see Shainin's loss. But at this moment, he couldn't show half of his worry and care against his will, just because of Wei Qingyang's departure today. It's so much to his heart.

In all fairness, this family affair is indeed an excellent marriage for Xie Ning, and with the low-key style of the Wei Mansion, there is no need to worry about entertainment at all. What's more, Wei Guogong holds the military power, even the emperor has to be afraid of three points, if Xie Ning really marries him, Xiao Yan will not come to the door again in the future.

A thought is devoured, and a deep love. Before meeting Xie Ning, Qin Feng had never considered anything about men and women. Whether it is Gu Qingyun or the other women next to him, they will not be involved with him after all.

Despite the disparity in status, he also tried his best to think about how to make the two match logically. Yandi's merit in suppressing bandits was his first move, but in the end, it became the basis for him to test Wei Qingyang's sincerity.

Xie Ning is still young and ignorant of affairs. Wei Qingyang's choice surprised him, but it didn't matter, the road he was going to take was too dangerous and difficult, and Xie Ning couldn't even accept the Wei State Mansion, let alone the dangerous palace every step? Instead of wishful thinking, it is better to withdraw early and let it go.

But Xie Ning already had a close relationship with him, and he provoked the bold Qin Xi, and now he was named in front of the emperor because of Yandi's suppression of bandits, presumably the Wei State Mansion must have hesitated about her, and Wei Qingyang's departure today may reflect their consideration of this family matter.

In a hundred years of life, it is rare to meet a bosom friend, let alone a favorite person. It was not easy to give up, Qin Feng could only lie about the wind and cold, and temporarily reduce his contact with Xie Ning. He thought that this affection would decrease with the distance, but he didn't expect that the more he wanted to let go, the more he couldn't let go, and when he saw Shainin, he couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart, and he couldn't ignore her when he saw her in danger.

He sought a high position, originally to seek a conformity to his heart. Since it was difficult to let go, and Wei Qingyang happened to give up this family business, why didn't he bother to fight again? Gong Yu is sinister, then he has to improve his strength as soon as possible, the road ahead is difficult, he will not let her face it alone.

I've missed it once, so it's time to show my mind. Qin Feng's heart moved, and he looked down at Xie Ning, but he could only see her lowered eyebrows and eyes, and half of her neck as white as snow under her strong suit.

It's just that Xie Ning has not yet recovered from the blow of Wei Qingyang's departure, and it is inevitable that he will show her his mind at this time.

Qin Feng's mind turned, he restrained his thoughts, and said in a calm tone: "I'll send you back." ”

"No need," Xie Ning raised his head suddenly, as if he had suddenly woken up from a long nightmare, and hurriedly refused, "You haven't recovered from the cold, so you don't have to send me, let's go home quickly." ”

"The Hou Mansion is not far from here, I also want to walk alone and be quiet." Shainin's speech slowed suddenly.

Yunsheng Teahouse and Jingyang Hou Mansion are indeed not far apart, and there is no need to make a detour to send each other, and it doesn't take much effort, not to mention that he has been sitting in the carriage from beginning to end, even if he really has a cold, it won't be a big problem. There were too many loopholes in Xie Ning's words, Qin Feng glanced at her, but he had no intention of debunking them. Knowing that what she said later was quite sincere, Qin Feng sighed in his heart, so he didn't insist too much, and pushed the boat down the river: "It's okay, then I'll go back to the house to find Xiao Yan first." There are still a few details to be discussed about the martial arts hall, and you can take the time to come to my house another day, let's talk about it in detail. At that time, he will not let Shainin misunderstand again, and he must let Shainin know his mind in person.

Xie Ning didn't have time to be distracted to think about that much at the moment, just nodded slightly, said "yes", and turned around and walked towards the Hou Mansion. No matter how noisy and bustling the street is, it has nothing to do with her.

Wei Qingyang once told her in person that it was a seven-day appointment. See you or leave you. But when he left today, was he simply angry that he had broken the appointment, or did he not want to insist on this matter of marrying her?

Lifting his steps numbly, Xie Ning's movements were much slower than before, and his heart was full of sour emotions, and he couldn't even say whether it was more loss or chagrin for a while.

Unconsciously walked to the door of the Hou Mansion, walking in a familiar place without looking at the road, Xie Ning lowered his head and walked all the way forward, but suddenly jumped into a pair of black soap boots in his sight.

I get bored for no reason. Shainin did not look up. Instead, he moved his toes and went straight to the side, continuing to walk.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the black soap boots also learned from Shainin to move a step, and once again stood in front of Shainin. Forced her to stop.

Because of Wei Qingyang's departure. Xie Ning's mood was already a little depressed. Now it is even more inflammatory. She looked up in distraught, and was about to reason with the owner of the black soap boots, but when she looked up, she met it. But it was a pair of familiar eyes full of smiles.

"A-Ning." The man called.

Xie Ning couldn't help but be stunned, almost unable to believe his eyes. Gazing at it carefully, but seeing that the man in front of him was dressed in white, with a jade belt and a brocade crown, half a bundle of black hair, dressed in a romantic manner, but his eyebrows and eyes were warm, just like snow falling on the branches, like a new jade in the mountains, it was Wei Qingyang, who had already left the Yunsheng Teahouse.

"A-Ning." Seeing that she hadn't been there for a long time, Wei Qingyang called out again and looked at her intently.

Xie Ning was overjoyed, but for some reason, his voice was astringent, "Have you been waiting here all along?" ”

"I didn't have to wait long," Wei Qingyang replied lightly, and then turned to ask, "What's wrong with you?" Why didn't you even see me standing at the door, so I walked in on my own? ”

"I ......" Xie Ning hesitated for a long time, but when he saw the other party looking at her with a concerned face, although he felt shy in his heart, he had to say frankly: "I went to Yunsheng Teahouse, but I didn't see you." I thought it was ......"

"You thought I was gone, didn't you?" Wei Qingyang hooked the corners of his mouth and took the opportunity to continue.

Xie Ning couldn't help but blush, "...... Be. ”

Wei Qingyang glanced at her, raised his eyebrows rarely, and asked, "So in your eyes, am I such a person who doesn't say goodbye?" Or do you think I'll leave in a bad mood when I see you before you arrive? ”

"Uh......", Xie Ning smiled wryly, not admitting that she did think so, but looked at Wei Qingyang and explained: "I have something to do today, and I couldn't make the appointment on time, so it's good that Brother Qingyang doesn't mind." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not such a stingy person," Wei Qingyang seemed to be very upset that Xie Ning misunderstood him, but he only mentioned one sentence, and then naturally continued: "Didn't you send someone to deliver a letter to me before, how could I not know that you have to go to the city tower to greet you." You didn't show up on time, so I guessed you were celebrating with those people. Because I was afraid that you would forget things after drinking, I had to come to the Hou Mansion to wait for you. ”

It seems that Wei Qingyang thought that she had not arrived for a long time, and it was because she wanted to celebrate with everyone in Yan Wuying, so she couldn't get out. Xie Ning's eyes flashed unconsciously, but he was too involved in this matter, and did not refute the other party, but deliberately followed the other party's words in a wrong way: "I haven't drunk too much." ”

Wei Qingyang looked at her deeply, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly said slowly: "A-Ning, you haven't told me your answer yet." ”

I almost forgot about it. Xie Ning raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him, who was as gentle as jade, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and it took a long time to calm down, and he smiled slightly, but he said solemnly: "I'm happy." ”

As soon as her voice fell, the calmness on Wei Qingyang's face changed into a genuine smile in an instant, and he raised his left hand, which he had just clenched, gently stroked the top of Xie Ning's head, and said softly: "It's not early, you can go in quickly." I still have to go home for dinner, so I won't stay with you for long. ”

***

Ever since he talked to Wei Qingyang, Xie Ning put down a big stone in his heart, and he instantly relaxed. There is no need to worry too much, and he is a little more energetic in doing things on weekdays, and he was about to go to King An's Mansion to find Qin Feng to discuss the martial arts hall, when he suddenly received a message from Pei Xinghai, saying that he was about to leave Beijing, and before leaving, he wanted to meet with Xie Ning.

Xie Ning temporarily dismissed his original plan and went straight to the post house to look for someone.

When she arrived at the place, she learned that Pei Xinghai sent someone to look for her, but she wanted to say goodbye to her, and there was another important thing to share with her-"Regarding the placement of wounded veterans, I recently thought about it again, so I made an excerpt and proposed that the martial arts hall accept soldiers from the border pass and Shudi, and now I have agreed." At that time, you can contact us and others, as well as the Wei State Mansion and others, although they are busier, but they can do more for the army. ”

When Xie Ning heard this, he was even more overjoyed. In the final analysis, the reason why she thought of this method of setting up a martial arts hall was precisely because she lived in Shu and was familiar with military affairs, so she could empathize with these people who were either injured or discharged from the army because of old age. Now that she can do her best for the people around her, how can she not make her heart happy.

Excitedly pulled Uncle Pei to discuss it again, and when he came back to his senses, it was already sunset, Xie Ning counted the time, and knew that it was a little late to visit King An's Mansion, so he decided to wait until Pei Xinghai left before going to Qin Feng to discuss this matter in detail.

"By the way, your letter only said that you were leaving Beijing, but you didn't say when you would leave, so it's too unclear." Xie Ning pursed the corners of his lips and said helplessly: "I'm still waiting to see you off." ”

Pei Xinghai glanced at her and said, "Let's leave tomorrow, you still have to prepare for this martial arts hall with peace of mind, don't go to see each other off." ”

"How can that work-" Receiving Pei Xinghai's extremely disapproving look, Xie Ning's retort was stuck in the middle.

She actually knew in her heart that Uncle Pei was doing this for her good. Once this imperial martial arts hall is established, it will be for her to make a name. The more dedicated she is at this time, the more she will be able to have a place in Beijing in the future, and she will no longer have to rely on others or be afraid.

What's more, her original intention of setting up the martial arts hall was to help more people, and now that Uncle Pei has won the same treatment for the soldiers in the border pass and Shu as everyone in the Yan Wu camp, Xie Ning can't relax at this time. We will also see each other in the coming day, and it is not necessary to see them off at the end of the day. At the moment, it is imperative to arrange it carefully.

Thinking of this, Xie Ning obediently closed his voice, and as soon as his heart moved, he winked at Pei Xinghai and said, "When the military officials are there, it is indeed a bit time-consuming, so I won't go." But you've all come today, and you're about to leave, so you should let me see them one by one. ”

Pei Xinghai didn't make a move for her, so he had to glance at her, and pretended to compromise helplessly: "Okay, since you have all come to the post house, how can I tell you not to meet them and say goodbye?" Otherwise, if your uncles knew about it afterwards, wouldn't they have complained about me? ”

Xie Ning's goal was achieved, and he suddenly smiled proudly: "This is about the same." (To be continued.) )
