Chapter 279: Uninvited Guest
Wait a minute, fix the typo...... Good luck to all of you on the new day.
------Off topic------
However, when he walked out of sight, he paused abruptly and looked back......
With a "hmm", Chen Jing lowered his head and strode away.
"Go ahead, I'll just ask."
Women's minds are sensitive, such a gaze, such an admonition, Xia Chuqi's heart will inevitably "chuckle". She took a step back, laughed dryly, and touched her nose.
"Okay, you ...... too. Take care. Keep an eye on your body. ”
Chen Jing clenched his fists slightly, and slowly walked in front of her, as if he wanted to say something, but it was difficult to say it, and he stood there stiffly, like a sculpture, with dark and bottomless eyes, and it was difficult to peep into the bottomless pit.
"I'm so good...... Take care of yourself on the road. ”
At the beginning of the summer, Qi Youyu thought and smiled faintly.
Did he notice that her ears were wrong?
Chen Jing probably didn't expect her to ask so much, his eyes flashed slightly, and he hesitated a little before nodding, "Are you going to leave for two days......" After a pause, he raised his head, his eyes fell on her face, with some faint worry, "Princess, are you okay these days?" ”
"Are you leaving Yinshan?"
Xia Chuqi thought of Qinglan and thought of what Baoyin said to work hard again, and frowned.
Well, Chen nodded, "Your Highness asked me to do something......
Xia Chuqi smiled, "Is there something to be busy with?" ”
“…… Yes, Princess, I'll step back first. ”
Hearing her mention Qinglan, Chen Jing's face was slightly embarrassed, and he was about to slip away.
Xia Chuqi smiled lightly, thinking about the last time he deceived him in Beiping Mansion, and apologized slightly, "Brother Chen, don't always be so polite to me, we are all people who have come through thick and thin, our own people, even His Royal Highness did not treat you as an outsider, let alone me, we are directly buddies, whether it is you or Qinglan, it is the same." ”
Chen Jing hung his head and hurriedly said, "It should be." ”
Xia Chuqi stood still and looked at him with a smile, "Are you so polite?" ”
When he saw Xia Chuqi, his eyes flashed subtly, and he hurriedly retreated to the side and bowed, "See the princess!" ”
The person who came out of it was Chen Jing.
But before she could go away, the curtain was lifted.
She is not the kind of domineering woman like Wu Zetian, especially now that her ears are not good, she has to return to Baoyin and become a mother...... The wildness and anger on his body have worn away a lot.
Men do things, and sometimes, women don't interfere too much.
Let Qinglan go down to rest, Xia Chuqi originally wanted to go back to the tent to find Zhao Zhu, but when he was still outside the tent, he saw Jia Yi guarding there with a black face. She asked, only to say that Chang and Chen Jing were still talking to His Highness inside, she frowned slightly, then paused and prepared to turn around.
~
Especially after knowing her thoughts, what does his refusal represent?
However, there are many things that only the person concerned understands. In Miaoyin Town, such a good opportunity, how could she not work hard? But although Chen Jing is amiable and treats her well, after getting along, he seems to abide by etiquette, but in fact, he also rejects her......
Seeing that she was so concerned about her own affairs, Qinglan wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say it.
"Don't be in a hurry to decide, you see that this battle is about to start. No marriage contract can withstand the cruelty of war...... You and her, maybe it's really fateful? ”
"Princess......
Xia Chuqi nodded, "Yes, Brother Chen is loyal, but he is indeed an assertive and responsible man, do you think, he has been with His Highness for so many years, and he is also a master and a friend...... Now that His Highness has something to do, how can he stand by and watch? It is said that people who are obsessed with martial arts hate intrigue and deceit the most, and Brother Chen is the kind of straightforward person who is worthy of being entrusted for life...... Qinglan, my little Baoyin is right, try harder? ”
After saying a few words, she thought that Xia Chuqi couldn't hear it, so she raised her head again, looked at her and said, "I also persuaded him not to let down His Highness's hard work...... But he doesn't seem to say much, but he is actually stubborn and wants to share his worries for His Highness. ”
Qinglan's eyelashes drooped, and her head drooped with her.
But now he took the initiative to run to Yinshan, and once Jingli disappeared, his position was very passive.
If he was forcibly left in Miaoyin Town by Zhao Zhu, it would be a last resort, and Zhao Mianze couldn't blame him.
"Brother Chen, you shouldn't have come."
After listening, Xia Chuqi let out a long sigh.
When they left Beiping Mansion, they met the Taoist monks. Dao Chang arrived in Beiping with Zhao Zun more than a year ago, and has been living in Qingshou Temple in Beiping Prefecture, and under the intervention of Zhao Zun, he became the abbot of Qingshou Temple. In Pingsuri, he would occasionally go to the Jin Palace, play chess, drink tea, and talk about Zen with Zhao Bottle, and he had close contacts. This time, he only said that he had something important to look for Zhao Zhu, so he went to Yinshan together, and as for what happened, Qinglan didn't know.
After getting such news, Bingyi was about to run to Yinshan, but Chen Jing insisted on this task.
Is the 300,000 army against Li Liangji, or is it aimed at Zhao Zhu?
To go to Liaodong, first pass through Beiping......
A few days ago, Bingyi returned to Beiping from Tai'anwei and sent back a message. Zhao Mianze took advantage of this incident to transfer 100,000 horses from the three major battalions of Gyeonggi, and also sent an order to the military cantonment guards in various parts of the north, and the content of the order was probably to prevent the Liaodong incident and maintain stability in the border areas......
After the matter reached Jingshi, Zhao Mianze reacted quickly.
Li Liangji, the rebel minister of the Goju Kingdom, occupies the area separated from the water in Liaodong and Gaogu, and has always formed a tug-of-war relationship with Gaogu. After Zhao Mianze ascended the throne, he adopted the method mentioned by Zhao Zhu, and has always adopted the policy of "neither party helps, and both parties ignore it", allowing them to confront each other and sit in peace. Originally, there had been nothing to do, but probably for the sake of living materials and armaments, after Chen Daniu, the Marquis of Ding'an, returned to Beijing, the people under Li Liangji had no fear, and often plundered the people's money and harmed women in the eastern Liaodong region, which made the local government a headache......
From Qinglan, she got some news from Nanyan.
After flickering the little glutinous rice dumplings, Xia Chuqi waited for her to fall asleep and chatted with Qinglan for a while.
~
“……”
"Because ......" Xia Chuqi pinched her nose, "Amu Gulang saw me...... You have to call it sir! ”
"Why?" Bao Yin's small mouth pouted, unconvinced.
Xia Chuqi raised his eyebrows proudly, with an unhappy face of "competing for favor", "Okay, you just have to remember your mother's words." Well, also, your mother's words are always right...... Even more true than Amu Guro's words. ”
As soon as he said this, Baoyin immediately behaved.
"Oh." The world of foodies is also magical.
There is a mother with a wild brain, and I don't know if it's Baoyin's blessing or her misfortune. Xia Chuqi knocked on her head and said with a smile, "The earth is what it eats, it grows round, fat, sweet, if the earth can't accommodate it, you don't have to eat...... Got it? ”
Bao Yin looked at her strangely, "What is Earth?" ”
Xia Chuqi didn't expect that this child would have so many thoughts at a young age, let alone that she would be so deeply influenced by Dongfang Qingxuan, and she couldn't say anything for a while, only sighed and hugged her, "Okay, Okay, Amu Gulang is always right." However, children don't care about adults, you are still young...... No, you're not small, you're too young, it's scary to have a super high IQ, you know too much...... It's very unsafe, the earth will not be able to accommodate you, now, you give your mother a nap, obediently, do you know? ”
“……”
"Amu Guro's words...... Always right. ”
"Yes......" at the beginning of the summer, he rubbed his forehead.
Bitterly flattened his small mouth, Baoyin said, "Didn't my aunt say that she wanted to give up?" ”
"Children, overhearing the adults, and making sense......"
Xia Chuqi was also petrified in the wind, and his eyeballs almost fell out of his sockets.
Thinking of what she had said before, Qinglan's face froze, her lips twitched like a stroke, and she was speechless for a long time.
What do you mean?
Amu Gulang said...... Before you want to give up, you can try again. ”
It was probably Qinglan's amiability that infected Baoyin, and she rarely grinned a big smile on her little face, which had always been emotionless towards strangers, and then, the little guy tilted his head and thought about it for a while, and suddenly a sentence popped up.
"But this is also because our little county lord is smart and clever, and he has changed others, and he doesn't have this ability."
She rubbed Baoyin's face, laughing, and couldn't put it down.
"It's a bit ...... Scared. That's only two years old! ”
"Poof", Qinglan was happy.
Xia Chuqi sighed with a smile, but in the end she was still soft-hearted, picked her up from the ground, patted the ash on her body, and carefully wrapped her in the crook of her arm, pointing to Qinglan who had not yet recovered from the "accident", and said, "Look at your skin, Aunt Qinglan is scared, and you are not allowed to be like this in the future, you know?" ”
"There is potential."
At a young age, do you still know how to attack the mind?
"Mother......" Baoyin crawled out from under the table, propped her hands on the ground, raised her little head and called her, probably seeing that she ignored her, the little girl pursed her mouth, that pitiful look, like a bullied kitten and puppy, more aggrieved than Erbao's father-in-law.
Well, anyway, she found all kinds of reasons to excuse Baoyin.
When such a thing happened, Xia Chuqi, as a "parent", wanted to take Baoyin out and teach her a lesson, beat her ass, and educate her. But she knew that if it was because Zheng Erbao slapped Baoyin's buttocks, Erbao's father-in-law would definitely commit suicide again, plus the child was only two years old and had just returned to his parents, insecurity would cause her to be more destructive, in principle, it was no wonder that she ......
~
Zheng Erbao was stunned for a moment, let out a "whoop", and ran away with his head covered and urinated.
"Amitabha, go and ask Master Daochang to shave your ordination in a while! Three thousand worries, one shaved worry-free. ”
Xia Chuqi sighed, with a serious face, and pointed to the tent where Zhao Zhu and Dao Chang were discussing.
A person who is dozens of years old is packed up like this by a two-year-old baby, and it is enough...... Funny.
"Uh......h Princess, you have to be the master of the minions! ”
"Erbao Father-in-law......"
Glancing at Baoyin, who was still pouting and lying on the ground, Xia Chuqi helplessly supported his forehead.
Zheng Erbao complained with a crying voice, so sad that he almost wiped his neck......
"Princess...... Little master, she ...... Woo, the minion is not alive......"
Xia Chuqi's eyes widened, and he couldn't imagine what damage had been done to Erbao's father-in-law's only remaining chicken nest, so he hurriedly lifted the curtain and rushed out. Poor Erbao father-in-law, this time is even more embarrassed than last time, his hair of different lengths seems to be doused with a layer of white rice soup, wet and sticky in one place, wisps by wisps, black, white, very messy beauty of postmodernism.
"Ahhhh
Before Baoyin could answer her, Zheng Erbao's screams suddenly came from outside.
"What are you doing?"
Xia Chuqi shouted in a low voice, walked over and squatted down.
"Bao Yin!"
The two were imagining what Xiao Baoyin would look like when she grew up, whether she would be more like her or like Zhao Shijiu, and how many men would break through the threshold and come to the house to ask for marriage, only to see a gap open under the felt curtain, and then, a small head poked in - Baoyin lowered her head, pouted her little buttocks, and crawled on the ground slowly, probably thinking that they would not find her in this way, so cute and cute.
Looking at Qinglan's gloomy face, Xia Chuqi's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly changed the topic with a smile, and talked to her about Xiao Baoyin's smartness, cuteness, and naughtiness...... Mothers always like to talk about their daughters. Her eyebrows were full of maternal brilliance, and Qinglan slowly smiled as she listened, occasionally giggling as she did.
"Hmm. If you don't have a blessing, you have to give up, I know that. ”
"Okay, I won't force you, when it comes to marriage, others can't help you."
"Is King Xiang really dreamless? That's not right! Xia Chuqi pondered Qinglan's words, thought of Chen Jing's face, and frowned slightly, "I observed it before, and I found that Brother Chen still cares about your ......" Squeezing Qinglan's hand back, she found that it was a hot day, but the palm of this story was cold, thinking about it, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Princess!" Qinglan squeezed her hand, "The goddess has a heart, and King Xiang has no dreams, what's the point?" ”
Amorous is always ruthlessly annoyed, and the love between men and women in this world is nothing more than this! Xia Chuqi felt sorry for her, patted her hand comfortingly, and joked with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, I still have more medicine, I can't do it once, and there will be a next time...... Anyway, now that you're both here, I have a way to do it......"
When Chen Jing was spoken, Qinglan's eyes were full of gloom, and the bitterness that she couldn't love was difficult to hide.
As if she didn't want to mention that period of the past, she lowered her eyes and thought about it for a long time before she raised her head, looked at her, and said seriously: "Princess, I know that you are a good matchmaker, but ...... Brother Chen has a royal marriage contract, according to his temperament, since he agreed, he will not regret it, and I am an orphan girl, with no family background and no background, where is the ...... Can it be matched? ”
She said with a fluttering eyebrow, but Qinglan was silent.
With a long sigh, she grabbed Qinglan's arm again and smiled wickedly, "What about later...... Brother Chen was poisoned by Zhao Shijiu, did anything happen between you and him? Also, after getting along for so long in Miaoyin Town, the two of you haven't been in love for a long time...... What sparks are there? ”
"Sure enough, it's still Zhao Nineteen, slightly better than me."
With a sigh, she told the old Meng family in detail what happened that day, and was so shocked that Xia Chuqi couldn't close her mouth.
Looking at her frowning brows, Qinglan was helpless.
How did Xia Chuqi know that the wine was transferred by the old Meng family's lady? He looked at Qinglan and only felt strange, "Could it be that Xiao Er's affairs are not good?" It's not right, if it's not good, how do you know that there is medicine in the wine? ”
"Sure enough, you ordered Xiao Er?" Before she could finish speaking, Qinglan flew out with a "scissor eye".
"It doesn't matter if he's that kind of person or not, as long as my medicine is that medicine, let alone him, even if the gods come, they have to fall......"
"Brother Chen is not that kind of person."
It's all onomatopoeia, she learns it vividly, although Qinglan doesn't seem to understand it, but she only needs to observe words and colors, and she can know what is going on in her head. She glanced at her quickly, two blush appeared on her face, a little shy, and seemed to be a little helpless, with a touch of crampedness in her complex emotions, but in Xia Chuqi's expectant gaze, she shook her head.
"I know you don't understand." Xia Chuqi looked at her with a smile, got closer, and clenched her hand, "Okay, okay, don't say much on the side, hey, just say, that medicine...... Does it work? After Brother Chen ate it...... Do you have...... Uh-huh, snap-and-pop, click-and-click, ......."
What new era of "......"? What free love? Qinglan was speechless.
"It's a new era, we have to pay attention to free love, do you understand?"
Qinglan couldn't cry or laugh, "You don't have to be a matchmaker...... He's married. ”
"Am I mixing?" Xia Chuqi had a serious face, "I'm a matchmaker." ”
"Princess...... Don't get involved in it. ”
On that day, the medicine in the wine, Xiao Er only said that the princess instructed him to "watch and do", and did not admit that it was instructed by Xia Chuqi. But with Qinglan's understanding of her as a person, she can't guarantee that she won't hint at Xiao Er...... According to Xiao Er's IQ, even if he is hinted, he will not know, especially the medicine he took from Liu Blacksmith in the soldier's workshop in the village, can Qinglan believe it?
Qinglan's mouth moved, and she said "no" on her mouth, but her eyes clearly said "you are".
"What medicine? Am I a drug person? ”
"Uh", Xia Chuqi held his forehead, glanced at his daughter's ignorant little face, glanced at Qinglan, and hurriedly called Zheng Erbao to come in and let him carry Baoyin out, only then did he boldly approach Qinglan, and followed her topic, laughing.
Pursing her lips, she smiled, "Princess, are you trying to ask, is your medicinal wine effective?" ”
In addition, she is a person who has been following Xia Chuqi for a long time, so she doesn't need to say much to know what she wants to ask.
When you arrive at Yinshan, there must be a question, and Qinglan has already prepared.
"You and Brother Chen are in Miaoyin Town...... Is there anything, uh-huh-hmm? The three "um" words, she smiled at the end, her face was full of gossip excitement, and the meaning was very treacherous.
There is Baoyin here, and the child is a clever and sensitive master, Xia Chuqi didn't say much about Ergu, let alone how to take Baoyin back from Dongfang Qingxuan, just smiled and changed the topic and asked about her.
After simply wiping the sweat and wind and sand on her face, Qinglan sat down, her eyes fell on Baoyin's puffy little face, and she couldn't move away, "Princess, congratulations, you finally got the little county lord back." ”
She didn't know what had happened between Qinglan and Chen Jing these days, and whether there was any practical progress in the relationship, she had been curious in her heart, but she didn't ask, she only hugged Xiao Baoyin and changed a felt tent, let Erbao's father-in-law fetch water, and found a clean handkerchief and handed it to Qinglan, so that Qinglan could wash it first.
In addition to retiring to Zhao Zhufu, two of Qinglan's three eyes were aimed at Chen Jing.
Before taking Qinglan out, she specially observed.
Zhao Zhu's voice was neither light nor heavy, it sounded like he was discussing with her, but he was born with the spirit of a king's domination, and the innate sense of majesty seemed to be engraved between the lines.
"Ah Qi, you take the child to play, and I will have a few words with the master and Chen Jing."
Xia Chuqi found that the best thing about being a monk is that all answers, whether embarrassed or embarrassed, can be replaced with a sentence of "Amitabha". Joy is also Amitabha, sadness is also Amitabha, everything is Amitabha, where do others know what he really means?
"Amitabha Buddha ......" Tao often lowered his eyes, smiled, and chanted words.
"Hello Master Daochang, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have added a little bit of immortal energy."
I don't know why, probably because of the shadow left by the last incident, Xia Chuqi saw this old monk, and his heart was a little crazy, even if he wanted to pretend to be enthusiastic, he couldn't hide his emotions well, obviously pulling the corners of his mouth, but he laughed insincerely.
Dao Chang saw her, smiled slightly, and slapped a Buddha's hand, "Female donor, don't come unharmed." ”
But the great monk Dao Chang also followed to Yinshan, which is unusual.
Chen Jing brought Qinglan over, although it was strange, but it was also logical.
What happened in Ergu, Qinglan didn't know about it. Xia Chuqi only nodded, and did not talk to her in detail, and his attention was not on Qinglan's body, but on Dao Chang and Chen Jing, who were saluting Zhao Zhu.
Seeing her puzzled, Qinglan saluted Zhao Zhu, approached quickly, and looked at her in surprise...... Or the little Baoyin she was holding in her arms, "Princess, are you okay?" …… This is...... The little princess? ”
"Hey, why are you here?"
Almost at the same time that she walked out of the inner tent, the curtain hanging from the felt tent outside was lifted from the outside, and a group of three people entered the tent in the dust, just bumping into her face. Xia Chuqi was slightly stunned, and when he saw those people coming together, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Scooping up Baoyin from the bed, Xia Chuqi wiped her face indiscriminately, and then hugged her out.
When Hai Rigu hurriedly came over, Xia Chuqi didn't hear any movement outside, it was Xiao Baoyin who heard the noisy sound of horses' hooves, saying that there were big horses coming outside, and she knew that something might have happened.
