Chapter 60: A Fire in Winter
Under the same night, Xiaojiazhuang outside Huainan City.
In the courtyard of the deep house, because there is no male host, it seems a little deserted, and the maids have nothing to do around the house to keep warm.
In the past few days, the rivers and lakes have been very lively, and there are rumors everywhere about Xu Buling, what 'contemporary Qingkui fought the spear god Xue Chengzhi in Hongshan Lake, and the bloody battle lasted for three days and three nights, shaking out the deep-water dragon king ......' Yunyun. Zhu Manzhi likes these the most, and pulls Ning Qing to soak in the teahouse and wine shop at night, and will come back in the middle of the night.
Song Yufu doesn't like the affairs of the rivers and lakes, she spends most of her time in the house, and she is not used to going out of the second door from the small gate, but she is not very bored.
And Xiao Xiang'er, who is hiding in the back house, is a little pitiful. Home is in front of him, but he doesn't dare to show his face in public, he has to sit alone in the house day and night, without his stinky brother by his side, it seems that he has returned to the lonely days in the palace.
The snow has cleared the sky and the moonlight is gloomy.
Xiao Xiang'er, who was dressed in a red dress, leaned on the carved soft collapse in the boudoir, with exquisite makeup and picturesque eyebrows, but no one could appreciate it. The white-skinned fingers gently rubbed the small mahogany card in the palm of his hand, and he turned over every time and sighed lightly.
Speaking of which, Xu Buling has only been away for ten days, but in the past half a year, Xiao Xiang'er and Xu Buling have been getting along day and night, which has been separated for a long time.
Xiao Xiang'er is not a woman, but she still likes to do that kind of thing with her sweetheart.
The first two days were nothing, but the longer the time passed, the more upset I became, feeling that time passed very slowly, living like a year, slower than in the palace in the past, constantly looking for something to do, but I couldn't get rid of the shadow of Xu Buling in my mind.
Especially tonight, I don't know why, I feel like Xu Buling is by my side, and I'm ...... with her
"Woo~......"
Xiao Xiang'er's face turned slightly red, her hand moved down involuntarily, and after noticing that something was wrong, she took it back, and secretly muttered: "If you are evil, you can't make ......", and then meditated, trying not to think about Xu Buling.
The misery of being alone in the empty boudoir, I didn't feel anything after ten years in the past, once the meat is opened, and then the empty boudoir is alone, it's ......
Xiao Xiang'er's eyes moved to the small purse next to the pillow, and she raised her hand to get the golden quail eggs, but in the end, she slapped it on her face and took a sip: "Shame on you, let the shameless one come back and find that he still has it...... Hold back, he must be struggling now, he doesn't do it himself, how can I do it myself......"
stayed up like this for half an hour, and just when Xiao Xiang'er was in a daze and was about to bite her lip, Qiao'e appeared and finally rescued her.
"Miss, Miss Zhongli is here, saying that the little prince asked her to come back......"
Zhong Li Jiujiu has a deep understanding of medicine, especially good at all kinds of strange drugs, Xiao Xiang'er has studied all kinds of strange and obscene skills since he was a child, and he used to get along on the boat, and when he heard that Zhong Li Jiujiu was back, he was naturally happy in his heart.
Xiao Xiang'er came to her senses, tidied up her dress on the soft collapse, and said softly:
"Invite Miss Zhongli in, I'm about to suffocate me......"
"Okay."
A moment later, Zhongli's master and apprentice, who had rushed back from Jinhu County, entered the back house.
Zhongli Jiujiu found that Ning Yuhe was not there, and was a little disappointed, hearing that Xiao Xiang'er asked her to go over to talk, she was naturally happy to have a good relationship with Xu Buling's pillow person, and followed Qiao'e to Xiao Xiang'er's room.
Zhongli Chuchu did not follow him, and under the leadership of the maid, he came to a room in the west chamber to live. When I walked through the corridor, I happened to see a quiet girl standing in front of the painting case through the window.
Song Yufu ......
Zhongli Chuchu was a newcomer, and he only knew Ning Qingye and Man Zhi, and was not familiar with Song Yufu. However, the last time I had an exchange on the painting boat, I had a good impression of this 'shy and demure' girl, so I stopped at the moment and called out at the window:
"Miss Song?"
Song Yufu was seriously depicting Xu Buling's beautiful picture, when she heard the sound, she glanced up, and saw that Zhongli Chuchu, who had not been seen for many days, came over, and hurriedly closed the picture scroll, bowed, and opened the door:
"Miss Chu Chu, why did you come here at night, Xu Gongzi is back?"
Zhongli Chuchu walked into the boudoir with a strong aroma of books, and said softly: "Gongzi Xu is going to Hangzhou, and it is inconvenient for me and Master to follow, so I came back early." β
The room is small, and apart from the daily furniture, the only thing that stands out is the portrait of a man on the wall, and a vermilion wine gourd is placed underneath the portrait.
Zhongli Chuchu set his eyes on Xu Buling's portrait, he had heard of Xu Buling's 'beauty picture' for the first time, and he couldn't help but walk over and take a closer look.
There was a portrait of her boyfriend hanging in the room, and Song Yufu was a little embarrassed after all, standing in front of her and explaining softly:
"I asked my uncle to draw it for me, and I kept it in the house for collection...... Miss Chu Chu should also have one, right? β
Zhongli Chuchu nodded lightly: "Xu Danqing gave me the painting, no one can send it, I have been putting it on the camel, and I almost forgot it." β
Song Yufu didn't know the relationship between Zhongli Chuchu and Xu Buling, but the two of them were definitely unclear, thought about it a little, and asked with a smile:
"Why didn't Miss Chu Chu give it to Xu Gongzi? He likes to collect these things......"
Zhongli Chuchu didn't know much about Xu Buling, and felt that even her real person was not rare, and she would not be rare in a picture scroll, so he was embarrassed to show his hand. Listening to Song Yufu, there was still a bit of a surprise:
"Really?"
Song Yufu poured two cups of tea, sat down on the couch, nodded and chuckled:
"Sister Xiang'er is also a Bakui, she used to give her paintings to Xu Gongzi, and Xu Gongzi secretly hid under the bed. As a result, I turned it out, and then I was caught by Mrs. Lu again......"
At this point, Song Yufu remembered that she forcibly kissed Xu Buling, and her face was still a little shy. Sogou Library
Zhongli Chuchu nodded thoughtfully, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Miss Song and Xu Gongzi have known each other for a long time. β
"It's quite early, not long after Xu Gongzi came to Chang'an, he went to Guozijian to study, and I met at that time...... Xu Shizi was cold, arrogant and fierce, never arrived at the study on time, and kept hiding in the Bell and Drum Tower to copy books, and didn't say a few words for a year, and I was quite afraid of his ...... at that time."
As soon as Zhongli Chuchu heard this, his attitude towards Song Yufu was naturally a little more solemn. In her impression, Ning Qingye and Zhu Manzhi met later, and Song Yufu is a childhood sweetheart......
"That Song girl, how did you meet Xu Gongzi? Look at your relationship, it's pretty good......"
Song Yufu thought about it for a while, and said with a chuckle: "I'm a more serious person, once Xiao Ting was unruly, Xu Gongzi came to the school and bumped into him, and beat Xiao Ting on the spot, I felt wrong, so I wanted to reason with Xu Gongzi, and the result was that I copied books in the Bell and Drum Tower......
Zhongli Chuchu drank tea for a moment, and felt that something was wrong: "Didn't Gongzi Xu say that Xiao Ting likes to sue and can't be offended?" β
Song Yufu was a little amused and shook her head: "How is it possible, Xu Gongzi is rampant and domineering in Chang'an, anyone dares to fight, what is the use of Xiao Ting's complaint, he sued his aunt to Xu Gongzi's bed...... Ahem......"
Zhongli Chuchu frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. It seems that Xu Gongzi really didn't want to deal with her, so he found a reason casually......
Thinking of this, Zhongli Chuchu was a little unconvinced, and thought about it:
"Miss Song, doesn't Gongzi Xu like to deal with others?"
Unexpectedly, Song Yufu nodded seriously: "Yes, I was looking for nothing at that time, but Xu Gongzi annoyed me, threw me downstairs again, and threatened me again." I admit death, I just don't leave, and I ...... in the end Just...... That's what ......?"
Zhongli Chuchu was stunned: "Xu Gongzi ignored you at first?" β
"Xu Gongzi is the same to everyone, it seems to be a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, Miss Manzhi and Xu Gongzi have such a good relationship because they have helped a lot in Chang'an City......"
When Zhongli Chuchu heard this, he felt that something was wrong again. According to Song Yufu, Xu Buling should be relatively cold to everyone, and he will only be warm when he is familiar, but Ning Qingye obviously didn't say that......
"Miss Song, I heard Qingye say that as soon as Xu Gongzi saw her, he was flamboyant and flamboyant......
"How is it possible, Xu Gongzi is not that kind of person."
Song Yufu hurriedly shook her head and explained to her boyfriend seriously: "There are many beauties in the capital, and many princesses and county lords are blocking the door and want to see Xu Gongzi. Ning Qingye really looks like a country and a city, but Xu Gongzi is not bad, and he will never capture the heart of a beautiful woman with a flamboyant tongue. In my opinion, Xu Gongzi's standing there without speaking is enough for his daughter's family to be tempted......"
Zhongli Chuchu's point of view was exactly the same as that of Song Yufu, but he only felt that he had met a confidant, and he was puzzled at the moment:
"Ning Qingye personally told me that it was Xu Gongzi who took the initiative to pursue him, and he also said a lot of things that only a disciple would say...... Could it be that she is deceiving? Ning Qingye has a straight temperament, colder than Xu Gongzi, he shouldn't use this kind of thing to show that he is valued by Xu Gongzi, right? β
Song Yufu took a sip of tea, and some words were held back in her heart for many days, because Zhu Manzhi and Ning Qingye were sworn friends, and they didn't dare to say it to Manzhi. At this time, he chatted with Zhongli Chuchu about this, hesitated, and whispered:
"Chu Chu, let me tell you something, don't tell outsiders, it's not a shameful thing, it's just not good to spread it......"
Zhongli Chuchu blinked his green eyes and nodded seriously: "I'm not an outsider, I know how to measure." β
Song Yufu looked at the window, and after making sure that there were no outsiders around, she leaned into Zhongli Chuchu's ear and whispered:
"Ning Qingye looks cold, in fact...... Alas, let me be blunt, I went to look for Xu Gongzi one night and found that she was ......"
Zhongli Chuchu listened quietly, his coquettish cheeks gradually showed a look of shock, and after listening, he said incredulously:
"How is this possible...... Ning Qingye actually ...... It turned out to be ......"
Song Yufu sighed, leaned on the couch with a teacup, frowned, and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but I saw it with my own eyes, and Xu Gongzi also admitted it...... At first, I admired Ning Qingye, who was high in martial arts and independent, and was not afraid of Xu Gongzi, but now that I think about it, it turns out that this is the case......"
Zhongli Chuchu's heart was full of annoyance, because she believed Ning Qingye's 'nonsense', and thought that Xu Buling would treat her differently, so she attached importance to Ning Qingye and did not pay attention to her, so she traveled thousands of miles from Suzhou to Jiangnan again, and wondered if she was ugly.
I see......
It's a shame that I treat her as a friend, it's a ......
Zhongli Chuchu held back for a long time, not knowing what to say.
After all, it is a secret matter of other people's private affairs, Song Yufu whispered: "Don't talk nonsense about this, Ning Qingye definitely doesn't want people to know, if it spreads, it will definitely make trouble for Xu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi will come to me, I will definitely say that you spread it......"
οΌοΌοΌ
When Zhongli Chuchu heard this, he immediately froze and nodded.
It was getting late, and there was another sound in the verandah of the back house, and there was a sound of chirping:
"Xiao Ning, it's a pity that I didn't go out with Xu Gongzi this time......"
"Your martial arts are so bad, can't you be a burden?"
"Heyβyou can't be tactful......"
Looking back, Ning Qingye walked over with Zhu Manzhi, white clothes like snow and dust, like a cold fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
Zhongli Chuchu and Song Yufu stopped talking, their eyes were very strange, they swept over Ning Qingye's figure, and then looked away.
And Ning Qingye didn't realize that in the eyes of her sisters, she had become a little vixen who was cold on the outside and relied on her body to seize the opportunity......
