After breakfast, he got into the carriage and went to the Qingshui County Ya, but was told that Yi Qing was resting today, and went to the county study early in the morning to read. Chu Qingruo could only go to the study to find him.

The shopkeeper asked where Yi Qing was, and Chu Qingruo came to the second floor.

In the corner of the second floor of the faint, ink-filled study, a fairy-like boy in white is sitting on a yellow-flowered pear tea table carved from a century-old log and making tea.

I saw him, holding a mahogany tea shovel in his white jade hand, and gently shoveled out the tea leaves from the celadon lotus pot. He also took the tea needle and picked out the poor tea leaves. Pressing the hem of his sleeve slightly, he reached out and poured the tea into the empty teacup in front of him.

Raised his hand and picked up the copper handle kettle wrapped in red silk thread on the red clay stove on the side, a little wrist, a silver flower poured out of the spout, fell in the celadon cup, and rolled together with the bud yellow in the cup, and the silver beads splashed everywhere, which was very good-looking.

The hot air that came out was like smoke, slowly rising and dispersing, enveloping him in a fairy aura that was mysterious and unpredictable.

The whole process was smooth and smooth, as if he had done it a thousand times, and it couldn't be more natural. It's no matter how other people are, and they can't make such a wonderful feeling.

Hearing the footsteps, the focused Yi Qing looked up and was stunned: "Qingruo? What are you doing here? ”

Chu Qingruo hooked her lips and smiled: "Brother Changyun is really good, don't you mind if I disturb for a moment?" ”

"What is Qingruo talking about, Qingzhan vegetarian tea, knowing that it is a great joy in life to know that you have friends to taste together, why bother to talk about it?" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

Chu Qingruo didn't talk to him politely, raised his leg and sat down opposite him: "Today, Qingruo is very confused about something, and I came to find Brother Changyun to solve my doubts." ”

Yi Qing smiled, reached out and pushed the freshly brewed fragrant tea in front of her: "Then, Aunt Changyun will give it a try and see if she can help Qingruo solve the doubts in her heart." ”

"Then thank you Brother Changyun first."

Brewing another cup for himself, each took a sip of tea, and put down the teacup, Yi Qing couldn't help but be a little curious. "What are the doubts, Qingruo might as well talk about it!"

Chu Qingruo briefly told him about the situation at home and what happened two days ago.

After she finished speaking, Yi Qing thought about it carefully, and then suggested that she go back.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. Since your stepmother is deliberately bullying you, then if she can't do it, she will have another plan. Even if you have escaped today, what about tomorrow? ”

Seeing her forehead slightly, she continued: "The so-called out of sight and out of mind, you have been living here for many years, so you don't have to worry about your affairs.

However, if people don't have this trouble, they naturally don't have to worry, Qingruo, do you understand? ”

Chu Qingruo suddenly realized: Yes, she lives here with Mother Zhou all the year round, and Cao Xiulian's woman must have done her best to create an atmosphere of fatherly kindness and filial piety for her father in Chu Mansion with her oil-dragging son.

No wonder she is not allowed to go home, and if she can't see her, she naturally can't remember that she has a biological daughter!

What a sinister mind!

Thinking of this, she refilled some water for Yi Qing: "That...... Brother Changyun means that I should go back? ”

"That's right! Instead of being beaten passively here, it is better to go back generously. Let's see what kind of intrigue she can do!

Besides, you are almost in time, the words of the matchmaker for the marriage event, the order of your parents, if you don't go back early to prevent it, when you know what kind of family your unscrupulous stepmother promised you, I am afraid that it will be a wooden boat at that time, and it will be difficult to regret it. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think secretly, why don't he go back to Beijing and ask for a marriage to her? On second thought, he and her? How can it be? I'm only afraid of my father, queen mother......

Being in the royal family, there are so many things that you can't help yourself. Forget it, don't add to each other's troubles, be good to her and yourself. Although the golden red walls and blue tiles look beautiful, they are full of calculations, and they are really not suitable for her......

Some things and some people, since they knew the ending from the beginning, there is no need to toss in vain. Just let it sit so quietly in your heart, and wait until the future when you have gray hair, and then take it out and savor it, isn't it beautiful?

Coming back to his senses, he cleared his throat and continued: "If you go back, with your wit, if you are dissatisfied with this marriage, you will have enough time to stir it up, right?" ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that he was sometimes quite narrow-minded, and Yi Qing couldn't help but laugh.

Chu Qingruo couldn't help but laugh when he laughed at him like this, sweeping away the haze of the past few days.

Seeing her smile, Yi Qing said again: "If Qingruo doesn't dislike it, I am willing to go to the capital with you, and take care of each other on the way, I don't know what Qingruo wants?" ”

Chu Qingruo hurriedly excused himself: "How dare you bother Changyun so much, the road back to Beijing is thousands of miles, how can you let my brother be so tired." ”

When Yi Qing heard the word "brother", her heart tingled slightly, and her expression changed slightly in an instant, but before she could notice it, she had already returned to her former calm and breeze.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm from the capital, I haven't been home to visit for a long time, and this time I just went home to visit my parents at home." Yi Qing explained to her.

Hearing him say this, Chu Qingruo no longer shirked, and after the two made an appointment to go back, they began to pack their bags and set off back to Beijing together five days later.

After talking about business, the two chatted casually, from poetry, calligraphy and painting to Yi Qing's study and travel, some places he passed by, and some people and things he encountered, Chu Qingruo listened to it with relish.

During the conversation, Chu Qingruo's quality and kindness made Yi Qing feel more and more excited. And Chu Qingruo also admired Yi Qing's erudition and talent, and he was even more yearning for the place and those people he said.

The two chatted for a whole morning, and Yi Qing, who was still unsatisfied, had a lot of reluctance. walked out of the study together, and at his insistence, Chu Qingruo was escorted by him and returned to Wutong Village together.

Before he entered the village, Yi Qing was far away, and saw Fu Lingyun leading the horse, standing lonely under the tassel tree at the entrance of the village, looking at them angrily.

To be precise, it should be looking at him angrily!

Yi Qing was stunned for a moment, his mood was disrupted for a moment, and his mouth was full of sourness.

But soon, he raised his usual smile that was as warm as jade, shook his peach blossom fan triumphantly, and swaggered away from Fu Lingyun, who was so angry that his face turned blue.

Fu Lingyun's face was blue, and there were vague gains and losses in his heart, and the loneliness around him was even more obvious.

Chu Qingruo saw him with such a look, and he was worried for a while, and couldn't help but want to explain.

At this time, the courtyard door was wide open, and Ah Yan ran out of the yard like a happy rabbit, and disappeared with a smoke.

"Oh, Ah Guy, come back quickly!"

Mother Zhou wanted to open the door to see if the young lady had returned, but who knew that this naughty ghost would take the opportunity to slip out. What if you get lost, but Miss likes it the most.

"Ahh Mother Zhou, it's okay, I'll chase it! ”

Chu Qingruo anxiously shouted Ah Ling's name, pulled his legs and chased after him, Fu Lingyun saw this, tied the horse to a tree, and followed.

Yi Qing looked at the figures of the two of them who were very compatible and rushed away, and a trace of bitterness crossed his heart.

Although they grew up together since childhood, they have always looked at each other unpleasantly. But sometimes he was really envious of this stuffy gourd.

From childhood to adulthood, Stuffy Gourd can do whatever he wants.

In the summer, he can swim in the river shirtless with the soldiers in the barracks, and he doesn't have to worry about being reminded to pay attention to his manners all the time;

He can ride his beloved horse across the grasslands outside the Cypriot without having to be on the lookout for someone plotting against him or worrying about assassins.

Now he can also catch puppies in the village with his beloved girl regardless of manners, making the beauty giggle. No one will remind him that there is a huge gap in identity between him and that girl!

But he can't, because he's a prince!

Although all this is what he deeply desires, it is something that he will never be able to reach as a prince.

Yi Qing couldn't help but feel gloomy when he saw Chu Qingruo smiling so happily. Quietly turned around and left alone.

Just let him quietly put her in his heart, like a peerless and clear white moonlight, quietly in his heart......

Fu Lingyun and Chu Qingruo, the two of them were chasing and intercepting the naughty Ah Cheng around the village, and the unhappiness just now was quickly left behind by the two.

Finally, in a corner, when the two of them worked together to catch the naughty ghost Ah Qiang, who had no way out, they finally couldn't help but be amused by each other's embarrassed appearance in order to catch Ah Bian.

After laughing, Fu Lingyun, who was not good at words, was a little embarrassed to hand over Ah Yan in his hand to her, Chu Qingruo silently took Ah Ling in his arms, lowered his head and blushed, and the two were silent for a while.

"Would you like to take a walk?" Fu Lingyun broke the silence.

Chu Qingruo sighed softly: "Hmm! ”

The two walked side by side by the river, and Fu Lingyun was thinking in his heart how he would open his mouth to show her his heart.

Thinking of her almost dying that day, his secret determination to protect her for the rest of his life couldn't help but creep up to his ears with a hot breath.
