Seventy-one: Lonely Heart

"Hege!"

Hearing someone call him, He Ge turned his face and saw Xu Qingxia getting off the horse.

"Where are you going?" He handed the reins to the attendant on the side and walked over.

"I'll go to Chen Yuanwai's house to deliver books, what about you, where are you from?"

Xu Qingxia saw that He Ge really had a big stack of books in his arms, so he stepped forward to take them and handed them to his subordinates.

"You?" He Ge was puzzled.

"Let them send it to you, Master Chen is easy-going, he won't care. I just went to deliver Zhuo Jun outside the city, but now I'm a little thirsty, I don't know if I can go to the library to ask for water? ”

Xu Qingxia smiled, looking at the good mood today.

"You help me deliver something, a cup of tea is naturally okay." He Ge was very happy for Xu Qingxia to come and sit, and listening to him say that the story was always extraordinarily exciting.

Xu Qingxia nodded with a smile, turned around and commanded a few words, and the two of them walked towards the library side by side.

"Long time no see, how are you doing?" Xu Qingxia has always been gentle and considerate, and she is always very kind to caring about people.

said that since the last time he came with Zhong Hao, he had never seen Xu Qingxia again, looking at his appearance, his face seemed to be a little pale, but it was somewhat similar to Zhong Hao's appearance sitting on the stone steps that day.

He Ge thought in his heart, Qingxia and Zhong Hao are always in the same place, but both of them look so unusual, is there something difficult to happen? Will it be about Ke?

"I'm naturally fine, do you see I'm fat?" He Ge smiled and secretly looked at Xu Qingxia's face.

When Xu Qingxia heard this, he stopped, looked at Hege up and down, left and right, and shook his head slightly, "In ancient times, Zhao Feiyan danced in the palm of his hand, and his body was as light as nothing. However, there is more than enough, and there is not enough moisture. I think you're just right. ”

"Is it true that if you stay with Zhong Hao for a long time, you will become the same?" He Ge laughed, his eyebrows and eyes were like stars and moons, "I can say fat so tactfully, I am convinced!" ”

She smiled so brightly that she couldn't help but want to laugh along. Xu Qingxia's face stretched, and he laughed, and suddenly a dull pain came from his chest, which shocked him and made him frown.

"What's wrong?" The original atmosphere of happiness was dissipated by Xu Qingxia's moment. He Ge helped him with concern, and said very worriedly: "Is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

Xu Qingxia took a deep breath, and the hidden pain was still there. "It's okay, I suffered a little bit of a small injury a few days ago, and I've almost recuperated in the house, I think it's just a little overjoyed, and I moved my heart."

Seeing that his face was still the same as before, but his face was whiter, He Ge was worried, so he led him to the library and went to get the tea set for cooking tea.

At this moment, there was no one in the library, Xu Qingxia walked around alone, and there were all kinds of books stacked in the heavy shelves, including subsets of scriptures and histories, poetry books of literati, and even minor tunes circulating in the market...... The stacking is quite neat, and they are all classified and placed.

He picked up a few books at random and flipped through them, either the faith of the saint's avenue, or the poet's nonsense, or even some strange and occasionally touching worldly love.

Xu Qingxia sneered, if the way in the world is really so simple, how can there be so many sad people?

This is not credible, that is, in a world that you don't know about yourself, other people's words are just a breeze in your ears. Besides, doesn't this room full of the fragrance of paper and ink belong to the darkest soul?

Xu Qingxia sat back at the table under the window, and on the table was the idle poems and small orders that He Ge copied from everywhere when he had nothing to do. Xu Qingxia picked it up and put it in his hand and looked at it one by one, the beautiful font, coupled with the tactful pen, the whole word is very similar to the master's delicate and beautiful, if it is well framed, I am afraid it can also become the embellishment of the boudoir embroidery room. At the beginning of the year, it was written crookedly, but in less than a year, it has been able to achieve such results, it seems that Hege is also a very smart person.

He put the words he had read by the window, not wanting to be blown to the ground by a gust of wind, Xu Qingxia lowered his body to pick it up, and happened to see the wooden box that He Ge had placed under the table.

The wooden box is very simple, there is no exterior decoration, and there is no lock. When the lid was opened, there were only some used pen, ink, paper and inkstones placed inside, which was nothing unusual to others, but Xu Qingxia saw a special thing - a tea can.

He remembered that Zhong Hao said that there was a kind of tea here, which was unique in the world. Zhai Ke never refused to tell Zhong Hao the origin of this tea, and never asked Zhong Hao to take away the leaves of this tea, and the protection was very mysterious. Then in this teapot in front of me, I'm afraid it's this kind of tea.

It's a pity that this tea pot is empty. Xu Qingxia couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but in the next second, he was attracted by the fragrance of the tea in this jar. According to Zhong Hao, this kind of tea smells fragrant at first, and then mellow and sweet, accompanied by a faint fragrance of fresh grass after rain, and there is a faint aroma like a lotus flower when it enters the water, which is very rare.

Although this tea pot is empty, the taste is still there, that is, the tea is not surpassed.

Since Zhai Ke is such a treasurer, then he must find the source to find out. Xu Qingxia quietly put the tea can into his sleeve, packed up the wooden box to restore, took a deep breath, and felt a dull pain again.

He sat still without moving, and took his pulse. The injury was serious that day, but it didn't last long.

He has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen the depth of people's hearts, and the people who helped him that day will not be the one who will kill him in the future. Although he and Zhai Ke are cooperating now, they also take what they need, if one party is contained, how miserable the end will be, I am afraid it is self-evident.

Xu Qingxia calmed his breath and probed the pulse, and it was really different.

"What are you doing?" He Ge came over with a tea set, sat down opposite Xu Qingxia, and gave him a cup.

Xu Qingxia smiled slightly and took it in his hand, the cup was just ordinary green tea.

"It's a bit lazy to sit here because the sun is warm."

He Ge held his cheeks and looked out with his gaze, "Yes, the wind has been blowing for a long time, and today I finally see the sun." ”

The warm sunlight sprinkled on the corners of the city, dispelling the cool breeze for many days, everyone came alive, and children began to chase and frolic on the street.

"Why are you hurt again?" It was only a few months before the incident at Heming Mountain, but he was injured again.

Xu Qingxia turned his face and saw that He Ge was looking at him, and the autumn water was sparkling in his beautiful pupils. He thought of Zhai Ke's cold and bottomless eyes, how could such a person deserve to have such a beautiful and simple woman?

He's like a giant dye vat that will dye everything around him in his favor. And what about this woman? What will happen to her in the future?

Is it crying, laughing, living, or dying?

"It's not uncommon for darts to get hurt, you forget, I'm a dart master." Xu Qingxia smiled and took a sip of the tea in the cup, bitter and fragrant, it was really a magical and wonderful match.

"Even so, it's better to be more careful, the injury seems to only hurt the skin, but it will not be good for you in the long run." He Ge is not worried, Xu Qingxia is a person who is not polite, if he encounters no matter how difficult things are, he will not defend too much, he will only blindly forbear. Such a person suffers a hundred times more than others, and he may be free for a while, but he cannot be free for a lifetime.

It's not a physical illness, it's a mental illness.

He Ge thought in his heart that it would be better to find an opportunity to say something for Qingxia at Zhong Hao's place than to let such a humble gentleman down in vain.

Now that Qingxia's affairs had been noticed, Hege still wanted to hear something from him about the person she wanted to know the most.

"I don't know...... Qingxia, when you come back this time, do you have ...... Have you heard from Zhong Hao? Or...... Seen him? ”

Xu Qingxia turned the teacup in his hand and raised his eyes slightly, "You...... You like Ke Gongzi, right? ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Hege was a little stunned. It's not that this question is difficult to answer, but why Zhong Hao and him both ask the same question with the same confused look.

"Well, I like it."

Xu Qingxia saw He Ge nodded, but she admired this woman's generosity and honesty, but in comparison, Zhai Ke's heart was tightly closed.

He Ge gave an answer, but there was no reply from Xu Qingxia for a long time, and then thinking of Zhong Hao's hesitation a few days ago, he always felt that there was something wrong with each other, could it be that they were secretly competing for the same oiran? But Xu Qingxia is not a person who is nostalgic for the brothel Le Fang, "Qingxia, why do you ask like this?" But what happened? ”

Xu Qingxia shook his head, "Qingxia is humble, and I never know what it means to like it." When I was a child and now, I followed Zhong Hao, and I didn't have to choose or choose. So, I never knew what it was like to like it. Now, seeing you and Gongzi Ke, the love and righteousness are blended, and the harmony is complete, which makes me even more curious. Hege, what is it like to like it? ”

Looking at Xu Qingxia's faintly sad expression, He Ge felt more and more sorry for him. From the very beginning of knowing him, he was cautious everywhere, even if he was infinitely rich in the eyes of others, he still lived so tired and lonely.

"I like it, I'm afraid it's an eye disease."

"Oh?" This answer surprised Xu Qingxia, and he propped up his chin, leaned against the table, and listened carefully to Hege as he continued.

"Because you won't see any of his flaws, everything about him makes you happy, and you can't help but want to be with him, know every detail of him, every preference, and ...... All the fears, turn these into the things you remember most clearly, and the rest may have to stand aside. ”

"Hahaha." Xu Qingxia laughed out loud rarely, "What an eye disease, this statement is very interesting!" ”

"Qingxia, do you have someone you like?" After all, the white hosta who had rejected him still felt a little guilty about him, but the feeling of love was not from the heart. Now, if Qingxia has a girl he likes, it would be a good thing, and he would like to contribute to him.

Hearing He Ge's question, Xu Qingxia smiled and thought about it seriously, "If you say it, maybe it's too ......."

He Ge's eyes widened, and he pulled the corner of Xu Qingxia's clothes, "Which lady is it?" Tell me quickly, I'll give you a staff officer. ”

"If the time is right, I will introduce it to you. Don't frighten people and break my marriage. "Xu Qingxia stood up, he shouldn't have stayed here for so long." Gongzi Ke is concentrating on Zen in the mountains, and you are guarding the library in the city for him. I hope that there will be such blessings in the future, and it will be enough. ”

Xu Qingxia bowed slightly and left.

"The two are concerned, and the husband sings and the wife follows...... We...... Is that really the case? "The tea in the cup is cold, the ink on the tip of the pen is dry, where is the person in mind? This loneliness is especially worse every day.

He Ge lay on the table, watching the people coming and going on the street, and suddenly remembered the person named Xuan, when he was there, there was a lot of excitement every day, making people not feel lonely.

He Ge opened a scroll in his hand, and the three leisurely horses painted in it were painted by Xuan.

That day, while packing up her book, she accidentally knocked over the ink cartridge and stained a new page. Xuan felt that she sprinkled it very well, and with a wave of her messy ink. It was named "Thousand Miles Raid".

It's clearly a leisurely grazing painting style, why take such a bad name. However, he said that a good horse is not in a fierce posture and terrifying body, but in the master's house is gentle and safe, and there is no shortage of thousands of miles on the battlefield, which is called a good horse.

In the end, instead of signing, I pressed a finger to print on it, and I temporarily called myself "Thumb Mountain Man", which is quite funny.

He said he went home, and he didn't know if he had arrived safely?
