165 Drop
There are some things that you really can't hide if you really want to.
Cui Ling and Gorou originally wanted to give Yue'er a little more time to clean up, so that she could figure it out and let it go by herself.
But at this time, Lian Shiping, the dean of Dongmen Academy, came to the door, and naturally accompanied him by his future son-in-law, Jingrong.
In the main hall of Beizhuang, Gorou hurriedly invited Dean Lian to take a seat, "Knowing that Shibo is here, he should have visited his little nephew, how can you go to work in person?" β
The Yuan family and the Lian family are in-laws, they are close to each other, and they move around frequently.
Therefore, Dean Lian doesn't care about these worldly etiquette at all, and he doesn't have a proper frame for his parents.
He smiled and said, "Eh, I don't visit in person, I heard that you and your wife came here to escape the cold, and I thought that I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I came to take a look." Where is there so much attention? β
The elders are not particular anymore, and Gorou naturally relaxes.
However, when he saw the handsome scenery, a trace of complicated emotions inevitably flashed in his eyes, "This must be the Mr. Jing that Shibo often mentions, right?" β
Dean Lian laughed loudly and pulled Jing Rong in front of him, "Ah Rong, hurry up and see Fifth Brother Yuan." β
Wulang is a little longer than Jingrong, but this Fifth Brother Yuan called a little early, and it was a bit close to talking.
It can be seen that Dean Lian loves this future son-in-law.
Jingrong is dressed in azure linen, very plain and simple, but because he has a handsome face, no matter how simple the clothes are worn on him, he also has an elegant wind. Flow.
He bowed generously, but he never called the fifth brother according to Dean Lian's words, but just said without humility or arrogance. "Dongmen Academy, Jing Rong has seen Yuan Wuye!"
Gorou's eyes flickered slightly. "Luckily!"
He thought to himself. If it weren't for Yue'er, he would appreciate this Mr. Jing very much, regardless of his appearance, demeanor and integrity, he is of the highest quality, and he is worth befriending.
At this time, the door curtain moved lightly, and Cui Ling personally entered the main hall with a few refreshments, and first saluted Dean Lian. Then he said, "There are some new refreshments in the kitchen, and Shibo will please try them." β
She is a married woman, and Dean Lian is an in-law, so she should come out to say hello.
Therefore, she generously greeted Dean Lian, and by the way, she took the corner of her eye to see Jing Rong's reaction.
That's right, the few snacks she served were all mentioned by Yue'er, and the favorite food of Emperor Xuan Ping Suli in the former dynasty was piece by piece. One by one, they are all branded with the past of Yue'er and Emperor Xuan.
If that person's shell contained the soul of the real Emperor Xuan. It is impossible to remain unmoved.
Words can be disguised, expressions can be disguised, but eyes can't hide people.
But unfortunately, Jing Rong sat up straight and did not squint, even if he saw these refreshments, he only glanced at them naturally, and did not look surprised at all in his contemplation and speculation.
Cui Ling's eyes were slightly downcast, and he said to Dean Lian, "This refreshment is called the February spring breeze like scissors, and the wine heart is poured into that dish, so I asked where the restaurant is." β
She smiled slightly, "Shibo, how about you try it?" β
The real names of these two refreshments are naturally not called such long verses, but Yue'er said that when Emperor Xuan favored her, she casually changed the name of the refreshments, and he followed her and called her the same.
This is a private conversation between the emperor and queen of the Jing Dynasty, which is not recorded in historical books and ancient books, and outsiders will not know.
Cui Ling carefully observed Jing Rong's reaction, only to see that the other party was slightly surprised and curious, but then smiled with some relief, just like the expression she had when she first heard Yue'er talk about it.
She was immediately disappointed.
No, maybe it's rejoicing.
Dean Lian tasted two bites each, and said with great surprise, "These two refreshments taste really good, they seem to be different from what I have eaten before, more delicate and softer, this name is also good, the spring breeze in February is like scissors, it is really expressive!" It's good, it's good! β
He sighed, "I heard that the fifth lady has first-class cooking skills, and today I can have this blessing, the old man has not climbed such a high mountain in vain!" β
Cui Ling quietly observed Jingrong for a while, but she really couldn't see any special emotions on the other side, so she refused to stay in the front hall any longer.
She smiled and said a few words modestly, then said goodbye to Dean Lian, and walked out of the bead curtain with an empty plate.
At the door, Yue'er paced anxiously, saw Cui Ling coming, and hurriedly asked, "Fifth aunt, how is it?" Be...... Is that him? β
Although Jingrong already has a fiancΓ©e, and this fiancΓ©e is still her acquaintance.
But if he is really her Emperor Xuan, then she can overcome all the difficulties in the world, just to stay with him in this life, even if it costs a huge price.
She had that realization.
Cui Ling shook his head, "His reaction to these two refreshments is normal, and he can't tell if there are any mood swings on his face." β
She originally wanted to say, why don't you find a chance to test it again?
But after thinking about it, I still can't say this.
Yue'er is the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion, her identity is extraordinary, how many pairs of eyes look at her, she can't do anything that hinders her reputation, otherwise, if it spreads, there will definitely be many people who are not used to the Yuan family to add fuel and vinegar.
Once a woman's reputation is damaged, it is not as easy as before to want a marriage that matches her status, and it will be affected a little.
Yue'er was still unwilling, she thought for a while and said, "I still have to confirm again, Aunt Five, you help me!" β
There is a pond in the back garden of Bessho, and now it is winter, and on the mountain, there is a thin layer of ice on the pond, which looks crystal clear and beautiful.
Cui Ling secretly handed a note to Gorou and asked him to have lunch with Dean Liulian and Jingrong.
Dean Lian couldn't help but agree because he often heard his daughter and niece mention Mrs. Yuan's good cooking skills, and because she had eaten a unique tea just now.
Jingrong is a junior, and his future father-in-law should be down, even if he feels that his heart is inappropriate, he has no choice but to follow hard.
Since it was still a while before lunch time, Gorou proposed to take Dean Lian and Jingrong to the garden.
The courtyard of the Yuan family is built against the mountain, beautiful and chic, and the layout of the garden is also set up in accordance with the construction method of the Jiangnan garden. Pavilions, pavilions, rockeries, landscapes and pavilions are complete. It's well worth watching.
After swimming for a while. Gorou said that he was tired, pointed to the pavilion next to the pond and said, "Shibo, let's go and rest for a while." β
He added with a smile, "There happens to be a plum grove on the opposite side of the pond, and although the water in this pond is frozen, the plum blossoms are blooming very well. Let's also learn from the vassal elegance of the ancients, how about appreciating a plum? β
Dean Lian is the most elegant, and he is naturally reluctant to refuse such a beautiful thing, and he said yes again and again.
On the two-story embroidery floor, Cui Ling and Yue'er stood by the window, just in time to see the pavilion by the pond.
She asked puzzledly, "Why do you have to ask your fifth uncle to invite two of you to this pavilion?" β
Yue'er's eyes were a little confused, and she whispered after a long time, "I heard that this Mr. Jing grew up in Shengjing City, and there are very few people in Shengjing City who know water. But Emperor Xuan can swim. β
She fanned her eyelashes slightly, and her eyes sparkled. "Aunt Five, I know it's not good for me to do this, but I have no other way. If that person is not, I'm ...... I won't be obsessed anymore. β
Cui Ling's heart sank, and finally understood that Yue'er wanted to test whether Jingrong would be watery.
There are few rivers in Shengjing City, and if there is no special experience, few people can swim, and most of them are landlubbers.
If Jing Rong falls into the water after a while, if he can save himself, then his origin is questionable. But if he doesn't, then most of the time he's just a stranger with a similar appearance.
Cui Ling didn't know what to say for a while.
It's a cold day in early December, so cold day, fall into the icy pond water, if Jing Rong's body is weak, then I'm afraid he will be seriously ill.
But at this point, I am afraid it will be too late for her to intervene again.
Yue'er saw that Cui Ling's face was not good, so she hurriedly comforted her and said, "Aunt Five, don't worry, the Huaishu next to Uncle Wu can swim, and his water skills are very good, as long as the person falls down, but can't swim by himself, he will rescue the person." β
She bit her lip and added, "Hot water and ginger syrup have also been prepared, and Uncle Fugui of Zhuangzi still knows some medical skills, so it is no problem to burn a cold medicine to ward off the cold." β
It seems that she has already arranged it.
Cui Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but despite this, she always felt a little unbearable to ask others to suffer like this.
From Jingrong's point of view, just because of Yue'er's guess, he fell into the ice water in the cold winter wax moon, which is really a little too innocent.
But now, I can only stand him.
It wasn't long before there was quite a commotion in the pavilion.
Yue'er leaned on the window and looked over there with the last hope, watching Rong Jing fall into the pond, and then plop twice, about to sink, at this time Huaishu fell in response and rescued the person from the water.
Her eyes were filled with despair, and her legs went limp, falling to the ground.
What does that feel like? It seemed that there was a glimmer of hope and dawn in front of him, but in an instant, it was cut off again, and the whole world returned to a dark and inky state.
Silence, silence, despair.
Cui Ling squatted down and hugged Yue'er into her arms, she comforted in a low voice, "Actually, you have thought of it a long time ago, right?" I just don't dare to admit it. But now, it's time to learn to let go. β
She exhaled softly, "Although in the previous life, you and Emperor Xuan did not get a good death, but in the days you were together, you were really happy, compared to most couples who treated each other indifferently, you are already lucky." β
Happiness lies not in the length of life, but in its breadth.
The past few years of unwavering love between Emperor Xuan and Empress Xuan, although short, are so beautiful.
Compared with those who have been married for decades, but they can't find a few romantic and beautiful things worth recalling in their memories, they are already lucky and happy compared to those people.
Yue'er finally couldn't help but hug Cui Ling's neck and cry, "Sure enough, I'm too greedy." β
I don't know how long it took, she finally woke up, wiped her tears, and said to Cui Ling, "Aunt Five, you're right, this is all a matter of the previous life, I shouldn't be obsessed, I have to learn to let go." Yes, I'm going to learn to let go! (To be continued......)
