Chapter 271: Token (Two Shifts in One)
In the evening of the same day, after the afternoon training was over, after everyone dispersed, Wei Xing and An Ruolan met again to take a walk by the lake.
The lake was a little depressed in late autumn, and after the sun set, the temperature became even lower, and the wind blowing from the lake carried a cold air, An Ruolan wrapped the colorful carved silk half-sleeved fox fur jacket on her body and stomped on her cold feet.
The guard had already changed into his usual clothes, and when he saw this, he hurriedly took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.
The black brocade coat still carried his breath and body temperature, An Ruolan blushed and heartbeat unconsciously, and said in a low voice: "Thank you." ”
Wei Xing shook his head and asked, "Will it still be cold?" Why don't you go somewhere else? ”
He rarely blushed and frowned slightly, showing that he had something on his mind.
It was indeed a little cold by the lake, An Ruolan nodded, and said, "Then let's go to the forest over there." ”
The two of them turned from the lake into the nearby woods.
All the way|excellent|excellent|small|say|more|new|most|fast|www.uuxs.cc|Shangwei was very silent, his silence made the atmosphere stagnant, and An Ruolan didn't know how to speak.
His eyes wandered wildly on the surrounding scenery, and inadvertently swept the clothes on his shoulders, An Ruolan had an idea and found the topic.
She smiled casually: "The embroidery on Wei Gongzi's coat is really delicate and beautiful, but how can it look familiar?" ”
I wanted to find a topic to break the silence at random, but I didn't want Wei Xing to blush again, and I was puzzled, so I heard Wei Xing say suddenly: "This is made according to the set of clothes you prepared in the Jinxiu Building that day, because my mother and Xiao Shao both thought it looked good, so they helped me order some similar ones." ”
"I am, I see." An Ruolan was infected again and blushed.
She remembered it immediately.
On that day, Mr. Yi had a treat in the Splendid Building, because she saw that the guard was flushed and worried that he had drunk too much, so she left him to rest in the Splendid Building, and prepared a change of clothes for him.
And that day, Qin Yiqing said that he liked simple and simple clothes.
Looking back now, it seems that his style of clothing has changed since then.
Thinking of this, her face became even hotter.
The topic was obviously not well found, and both of them fell silent with red faces.
Silently walked forward for a while, and this time, it was Wei Xing who broke the silence.
"Actually, you shouldn't be here." His tone was a little solemn.
An Ruolan tilted his head slightly, glanced at him puzzledly, and said, "I am showing myself as a man, and I am not in the way." ”
"That's not what I meant." Knowing that she had misunderstood what he meant, Wei Xing's face turned red, but he couldn't tell that he didn't want her to be seen by others.
The corners of his lips tightened, and after a long while, he said, "General Xiang bullied you." ”
"Huh?" An Ruolan didn't turn a corner.
"He told you to row." Wei Xing's face was calm, and his eyes were full of seriousness.
"Poof-" An Ruolan couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed out loud on the spot, seeing this, the guard was ashamed and embarrassed, and he didn't know where to put his hand.
Glancing at him, An Ruolan couldn't help but smile and explained: "It's because I teased Uncle Xiang before, that's why he deliberately corrected me." ”
"Even so, he shouldn't let you do coolies, you're a girl, you should take good care of ......" The latter words became quieter and quieter.
An Ruolan heard it, and her heart couldn't help but burst with sweetness, she coughed twice in disguise, and said with the corners of her eyes bent: "It's okay, this shows that we have a good relationship." ”
Hearing this, Wei Xing looked at her deeply and said seriously: "If it were me, I would definitely not bully you." ”
Is this a round of the road saying that he has a good relationship with her?
Rao was trained to be cheeky by Zhong Siye, and An Ruolan couldn't resist this unconscious sweet talk.
Pursing the corners of her mouth, she concealed her panic and said, "It's just a small fight, you think too strictly." ”
"Really?" Wei Xing's eyes darkened, and he said in frustration: "Is it me who is too strict?" ”
Seeing this, An Ruolan was at a loss for a while, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I didn't mean that!" ”
Wei Xing's gaze fell on her soft and white palm, and remembering the soft and smooth touch, the Adam's apple moved, and said, "What is that?" ”
"Yes...... It's ......" An Ruolan didn't notice his strange appearance, racking her brains to think of an excuse, but as soon as she saw his serious eyes, she admitted defeat, sighed and said: "It's very strict, honest and serious, and dead-eyed, like an old man over sixty years old." ”
"......" guards and punishments are like being struck by lightning.
"But ......" An Ruolan suddenly changed her words and said in a voice that couldn't be softer: "But I think it's good." ”
“——!” The eyes that had been dim and irrelevant a second ago were instantly as bright as stars.
An Ruolan's heart jumped suddenly, she blushed and panicked to avoid his shining gaze, and said, "But there are also disadvantages to this." ”
"What's wrong? You said. The guard suddenly took a step closer.
An Ruolan was startled, and hurriedly pushed him away with her hand, and her speech was even more incoherent.
"Opposite, it's not good anyway, sometimes it seems to be eager for quick success, and also, there is disgust, my father-in-law said that you should combine work and rest, you are too serious, you don't know how to rest when you are tired, this is not good for your health, and when you really go to the battlefield, it will drag ...... down"
There was a mess in her mind, and An Ruolan didn't know what she said, but no matter what she said, whenever she looked up, she could see Wei Xing's serious and focused eyes, and slowly, she also calmed down.
"Don't be too stressed, whether it's Xiao Shao or Duchess Weiguo, they must believe in you." Looking into his eyes, she said sincerely.
"What about you?" Wei Xing asked softly.
"I believe that this time Dayong will also be victorious." An Ruolan tilted his head and gave a mock answer.
Wei Xing looked deeply at her soft side face, and after a while, said, "Although you didn't say anything, I know that you are different from her. ”
She......
An Ruolan knew that he was talking about Qin Yiqing.
The heat in my heart was extinguished instantly.
"No one is the same." She lowered her eyes.
Wei Xing's heart tightened, "Are you angry?" ”
An Ruolan shook his head slightly, "I'm going back to the Hou Mansion tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other in the future, I wish Gongzi Wei a hundred victories and an early return here." ”
With that, she bowed her head and was about to turn away.
"You're always like that!" Wei Xing shouted, suddenly grabbed her wrist, and said angrily: "Every time I mention it, you will be angry, but you never tell me why are you angry!" ”
The five fingers on the wrist were too tight, An Ruolan struggled painfully, and said, "You let go first, you hurt me!" ”
Hearing this, the guard's hand trembled, pursed his lips and slightly loosened his five fingers.
An Ruolan took the opportunity to shake off his hand and said, "Reckless! ”
The guard bowed his head to the ground.
Seeing him put on such a aggrieved look, An Ruolan rolled her eyes angrily, making it look like she had bullied him!
Stamping her foot in annoyance, she snorted: "It's so cold here, I'm going back, can you go?" ”
"Hmm." The guard nodded dejectedly.
Seeing him like this, he was angry, but he was helpless, sighing, An Ruolan had no choice but to walk back to him and pull his sleeve, "Hey, I have no strength to row, you can carry me back." ”
Wei Xing raised his head suddenly, and saw that she was awkwardly tilted to the face, as if he was afraid that she would regret it, and hurriedly said, "Okay! He immediately crouched down in front of her.
Glancing at his shoulders, which were not too broad, An Ruolan's face was hot, and he twisted it for a while before he rubbed it and carefully lay on his back.
"Are you alright?" Wei Xing asked softly.
"Alright, alright." An Ruolan replied vaguely, and her hands were shrunk in front of her chest, resting on his back. Through the thin clothes, she could feel his warm body temperature.
The temperature spread from the palm of her hand to her heart and then to her face.
Wei Xing only felt that his back seemed to be wrapped in soft clouds, and he couldn't help blushing and heartbeating, coughing to hide his strangeness, he said: "You hold on to my shoulders, otherwise it will be easy to fall down in a while." ”
"Oh, oh......" An Ruolan blushed and whispered, struggling for a while before slowly climbing up to his shoulder with trembling hands.
Wei Xing glanced at the thin green fingers on his shoulder, and regretted a little that he didn't say that he had just said to let her hug his neck.
Hurriedly sweeping away the evil thoughts at the bottom of his heart, he hooked the crook of her leg and slowly stood up.
Rao is he had already slowed down his movements as much as possible, but An Ruolan was still startled and shook his back.
"Hold me up." The guard spoke again, not taking an immediate step.
An Ruolan nodded in panic and tightened the clothes on his shoulders, she regretted a little that she let him carry herself, it was really harmful to others and herself.
Wei Xing didn't feel that he had been killed at all, he was happy in his heart, and when he confirmed that she had stabilized, he took a step.
At the beginning, An Ruolan kept holding the clothes on the shoulders of the guard and leaning back, very restrained, but slowly, she let go, relaxed her body and leaned on his back, enjoying the scenery that she couldn't see in the past.
Not to mention, the higher the people, the better the scenery they see, because they see more and more comprehensively.
When it was completely released, there was no difference between men and women, and they were all thrown into the river to feed the fish.
"Wow! Slow down, slow down, I can't see the way! Hahaha! Patting the shoulders of the people under him, An Ruolan smiled unscrupulously.
The comfort of galloping in the wind made her forget all the restraints.
In this way, the guard carried her on his back, moving fast and slow, stopping occasionally, or letting her step on his shoulders to pick a wild fruit from a tree, or a bright wild flower on the ground, and as long as he heard her cheerful laughter, he did not feel tired at all.
will also deliberately scare her, listen to her screams of fear, maybe like her angry appearance after being frightened, or maybe like the feeling when she subconsciously hugs herself.
Running around in the woods like this, the two laughed uncontrollably until the last glimmer of light was lost in the sky.
The night wind is gusting.
Sending people to the intersection leading to the small inn, Wei Xing looked at her and hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice, "Will you go and see me off?" ”
An Ruolan didn't nod or shake her head, pinned the hair on her ears, she lowered her eyes and asked, "When will you leave?" ”
"After a month." The guard replied.
"Oh." An Ruolan nodded lightly, but there was no sound.
The guards were not without disappointment.
"I'm in, you can go back too." An Ruolan bowed his head slightly, lowered his head and walked forward.
"Wait a minute." Wei Xing suddenly stopped her, chased after her from behind, took her hand forcefully, and put a warm jade lock into her palm.
"For you." He said.
The jade lock was hot, obviously kept close to him, and An Ruolan held it in the palm of his hand, and his heart became hot.
"What is this?" She picked it up and looked at it carefully.
It was a very ordinary jade lock, or should I say that the carving was a little rough, and the patterns on it were jerky and stiff.
"This is what my father carved." Wei Xing's cheeks blushed slightly, he didn't say, this lock is a pair, and there is a gold lock on his body.
The golden boy and maiden, which his father carved for him with his own hands when he was young, one for him and one for his future wife.
An Ruolan naturally didn't know the meaning of this jade lock, she carefully traced the patterns on the jade lock, and was very surprised in her heart, she didn't expect Wei Guogong to have this craftsmanship.
If you accept it, is it considered a private gift?
An Ruolan couldn't help but hesitate, and finally nodded under his eager gaze and said, "Thank you, I will cherish it." ”
Seeing that she put away the jade lock, Wei Xing's heart fell back into his stomach and smiled happily at her.
Accepting the gift plainly, An Ruolan suddenly felt embarrassed and thought about whether to return the gift.
However, after looking around on her body, she only found a sachet embroidered by herself, and she was embarrassed to take out her hand with crooked stitches.
When she hesitated, Wei Xing had already stared at the sachet in her hand, and the meaning of the expectant little eyes was self-evident.
Pulling the corners of her mouth stiffly, she tentatively stretched out her hand, "This sachet ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Wei Xing had already snatched the sachet with his eyes, and said happily and solemnly: "I will cherish it." ”
That look, like a rare treasure, made An Ruolan embarrassed.
Nodding in a panic, she said, "I'll go back first." ”
"Hmm." Wei Xing bowed his head and looked at her deeply.
Not daring to stay any longer, An Ruolan buried his head and ran all the way along the path, and did not stop until the sight behind him disappeared. Glancing back, clutching the jade lock in her arms, she hummed a little song and jumped forward.
At the intersection, when she couldn't see her back, Wei Xing turned around and left with a sachet.
Behind the bushes not far away, Zhong Siye had a dark and calm face, clasped his hands to his chest, and asked Xiang Ye beside him in a cold voice: "Is my father-in-law really the one who gives men the most headache?" ”
Xiang Ye thought for a moment and said, "Maybe." ”
"Huh?" Zhong Siye looked back at him suspiciously.
Xiang Yeyan said: "Because for me, my mother-in-law is more of a headache than my father-in-law." ”
"......" Fourth Master Zhong paused, raised his eyes and glared at him, "Are you looking for death?" ”
Xiang Ye shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness.
Following.
After breakfast, Zhong Siye asked people to urge, An Ruolan originally wanted to say goodbye to Mr. Yi, there would be no time.
immediately carried the burden and went out with lark and green vulture.
Sixi and Bayuan came out to see her, and Bayuan apologized: "Shaodong, we also want to serve by your side all the time, but I am used to being presumptuous with Sixi, I'm afraid that I can't adapt to the life of the Hou Mansion, but I will cause you trouble, and we will ......"
Without waiting for her to finish, An Ruolan took her hand, shook her head and smiled: "It's okay, I've also thought about it, the life of the Hou Mansion is indeed not suitable for you." ”
Accustomed to living an unrestrained life, who wants to get into the rules and regulations again? Not to mention Sixi and Bayuan, who have been used to being comfortable since childhood, even she doesn't want to.
"Don't worry, I'll come and see you as often as I can." She assured.
"Shao Dongjia ......" Sixi was straightforward, and his eyes immediately turned red.
An Ruolan endured the sourness in her eyes and comforted her: "Silly girl, it's not like you won't be able to see you in the future." Bayuan dialed Sixi and glared at her with disgust, but he couldn't help the corners of his eyes reddened.
Bai Ling and Qing Vulture also secretly wiped the corners of their eyes, they all knew that the older they got in the future, the more difficult it would be for them to meet.
After the master and servant reluctantly said goodbye, An Ruolan took the Bailing Green Vulture to Zhong Siye's room, but what he didn't expect was that Mr. Yi was also there.
Mr. Yi patted her shoulder gently with a smile and said, "I want to go to Xie Mansion with the fourth master, so I will send you off by the way." ”
"Thank you, sir." An Ruolan was moved.
"Thanks, he's really just stopping by." Zhong Siye put on his coat and lifted the curtain to come out of the inner room, and yawned at the same time, obviously just getting up.
"By the way, I'm happy too." An Ruolan snorted.
"If you don't talk back, you're not comfortable, right?" Zhong Siye glanced at her, and the father and daughter made a noise as usual.
When he really set off, it was already the middle of the day, during which Xiang Ye came to say hello and asked An Ruolan to say hello to Master Zhong and Mrs. Zhong on his behalf.
On the way to the dock, An Ruolan asked confusedly, "Father-in-law, do we still want to go back to Zhongfu?" ”
"If you don't go back to Zhongfu, how can you change your clothes?" Zhong Siye glanced at the men's clothes on her body.
Because he had to go through the training place of Xiang Ye and others, in order to avoid suspicion, An Ruolan still wore men's clothes.
"And you told Mrs. An before that you were going to stay in Zhongfu and not take the carriage of Zhongfu from Zhongfu, do you want to tell everyone that you are lying?" Zhong Siye added.
An Ruolan is honest.
The group swaggered to board the boat at the pier, and when they passed by the lake where Xiang Ye was training, a group of young men respectfully saluted Zhong Siye, and then raised their voices to An Ruolan and asked, "Yi Qi, where are you going?" ”
"Of course it's to avoid you, no-show." An Ruolan muttered in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "There is an urgent letter from home, let me go back to my hometown as soon as possible." ”
"What's so urgent, I didn't hear you mention it yesterday." Guo Mao shouted, "You don't know that you are going to lose, so you find an excuse to slip away, right?" ”
"yes, yes, you're trying to cheat!" The rest of the people hurriedly chimed in.
"Not really!" An Ruolan hurriedly retorted and looked at her uncle, Mr. Yi, for help.
Mr. Yi glanced at the group of stinky boys, and said unhurriedly: "Thanks to your care during this time, it is really Qi'er's mother who is seriously ill, and Qi'er has to rush back to his hometown, I hope you will forgive me." ”
As soon as the elder spoke, everyone had nothing to say, not only believed, but also comforted An Ruolan one after another.
The wooden boat was surrounded by a group of people, An Ruolan couldn't cry or laugh, and couldn't stand their enthusiasm.
In the end, it was Xiang Ye who spoke, so that An Ruolan and the others were able to get out.
Back on the shore, the group changed to a carriage and rushed back to Zhongfu.
Master Zhong knew that Fourth Master Zhong and An Ruolan would come back at noon today, so he ordered someone to start preparing lunch early in the morning, and he also rushed back to the mansion as soon as he arrived, waiting for the father and daughter to come back.
The carriage stopped in front of the second gate, and there was already a small sedan chair waiting in front of the door, Zhong Siye and An Ruolan got off the carriage, changed into a sedan chair, and swayed back to the room.
When I went to say hello to Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong, An Ruolan had already changed back into women's clothes.
Emerald brocade feather satin cloak, embroidered makeup skirt, Dongzhu head, the clothes prepared by Zhong Siye are luxurious and dignified, so that An Ruolan's good facial features are even more outstanding and bright, standing among the rumored Miss Zhong family, she is also a leader.
Maybe it's because Fourth Master Zhong attaches too much importance to An Ruolan, and Mrs. Zhong still doesn't like An Ruolan, but with Fourth Master Zhong here, she will not deliberately embarrass An Ruolan anymore, so An Ruolan is already satisfied.
After lunch, the sisters of the Zhong family didn't know what they were thinking, and they actually invited An Ruolan to attend the temple fair, An Ruolan wanted to refuse, but in the mocking eyes of Zhong Erye and his wife, she finally agreed.
She didn't want her stepfather to be caught between her and the Zhong family.
A frost and a cold, it is close to early winter, and the autumn tigers are no longer raging. In addition, this annual temple fair is approaching, and everyone's hearts are inevitably lively.
On this afternoon street, the warm sun is shining, and the hurried vendors begin to form a formation, which is a strong contrast with the children who have stolen candy cakes and firecrackers to play. Sprinkled bean-like laughter and the shouting of adults filled the street, and preparations began for the evening's activities.
In addition to the hawkers who were setting up stalls, people who wanted to take the opportunity to exchange some treasures also began to gather in twos and threes, and in the end, the crowds became more and more.
The people who really enter the incense are very early, and more people go up the mountain in the middle of the night to worship, and at this moment a wave of people go down the mountain in a bustling manner - compared to those who only want to pick up the leak and are unwilling to pay for it, the people who enter the incense have become the earliest guests of the temple fair.
Of course, these coquettish customers who spend money and never blink an eye have also become fat sheep in everyone's eyes, and how much silver can be earned in the past depends on their own ability!
There are many stalls selling snacks, and the salty smell of meat and the sweet smell of desserts blow unscrupulously with the wind, and begin to wickedly arouse everyone's cravings.
In the restaurant, the eye-catching guys hung up the lanterns early, and there were many organic spirits among the vendors who also accelerated their movements, and set up the stalls in three or two, just in such a moment, the shouts rang out one after another, lined with the occasional bargaining sound, adding a bit of lively atmosphere.
The temple fair is a big day for the people of Shengjing, the money is never soft, and the one who makes money is even more happy, from the temple entrance all the way to the end of the street, the various vendors are dizzying, dazzling - the noodle pinching people, the candy painting, the mask kite seller, the lantern maker, the stall fortune teller, and the warm-up performance juggling there, the cheers erupt one after another, from the street to the end of the street, the late autumn night is dyed with warmth.
Walking on the crowded street, beside me is the affectionate Miss Zhong family, An Ruolan
Suddenly, she felt a little lonely, and it wasn't until she saw Wei Shao and Zhao Yan in the crowd that she felt a little more energetic in her heart. R1152
