Chapter 176: Lanterns

"The Xie family has no dealings with the Yongning County Palace, but Miss Xie has dealings with the Lord of Jingling County." Jinghu blinked her eyes, wanting Ke Mingxu to be more convinced of what she said.

"The last time there was a spring banquet in the Dingguo Mansion, Xu Liuniang framed me, and it was the sister of the Xie family who testified for me together with the eighth lady of the Hengguo Mansion. I have to repay this favor. ”

Jing Hu followed his example with one hand behind his back and began to pace on the deck.

"Master Xiao Ke also said, I can't bear to see the Xie family's sister getting thinner and thinner, I think this is the best way. If you think it's really inappropriate, just wait for the weather to get better in a few days and move back in. ”

"Anyway, it's just that the people are busy, and it's just a matter of giving more rewards."

Jinghu came to him with a mysterious look, "When I went out this time, my mother stuffed me with 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and my eyes were straight." I have money in my hand, and I'm worried that I can't find a chance to reward the girls who follow me. ”

She unconsciously revealed the expression on the day when Concubine Xu gave her the silver ticket, Ke Mingxu looked at her and couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't expect the little county lord to be a money fan."

Jinghu pursed his lips, "Lord Xiao Ke doesn't know, I, the county lord, have brocade clothes and jade food, gold and jade jewelry are indispensable from childhood to adulthood." But my father and mother have always been strict with me, and they refuse to give me money to spend unless they celebrate the New Year's holidays. ”

"Are you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Although the king of Yongning County and her mother were indeed afraid of Jinghu getting into trouble, after all, there was a Jing Xun as a lesson from the past, and her stubborn energy when she was a child was not much better than Jing Xun.

If a girl has a bad reputation, she will be more troublesome than a man in such a world.

But being asked by Ke Mingxu as a matter of course, Jinghu was also a little unhappy, and she flattened her mouth.

"No, although people like us will never be short of money, but it is not a good habit to make money after all, and we can't all be like Jing Xun."

Ke Mingxu looked like he cooperated with her, "Okay, I said the wrong thing." But your brother is not like you said, he was born in a noble family, and he went to the northwest to join the army alone, and not everyone can do it. ”

Jing Hu actually knew it, but she was used to bullying Jing Xun verbally like this. She made a generous appearance, "Okay, then I won't talk about him in the future." Actually, my third brother is very good to me, sometimes better than my eldest brother. ”

At the mention of Jing Shen, Jing Hu was a little depressed. He seemed to be very busy after he went to Hebei, and even his mother was sick for such a long time, and he didn't come back. Not to mention Brother Ge'er's 100-day banquet.

I don't know if he and Huanwu can live with such peace of mind.

Her mood was down, and Ke Mingxu naturally noticed it quickly. "Do you miss your big brother?"

"I'm not. In the matter of Nanyi Hou Shizi, he didn't help me at all. No matter what happened to my family, no matter who had a disagreement with my father, he would always be on my father's side. ”

even told her that he would find a way to break her up and Ke Mingxu. She's not going to let him get away with it.

"You don't miss your big brother, but in fact, I always miss Bi Niang a little. A while ago, she prepared a gift to be sent to Jiangnan, and once went back to her parents' house on purpose. ”

"I happened to be home that day, and I didn't think she looked good. But we haven't been close since we were children, and she won't say anything to me, is there anything I don't know about her and your brother? ”

Jinghu was going to tell Ke Mingxu what happened before, but she didn't think it was today. She hadn't even figured out how to tell the story.

So she had no choice but to say, "I do know something about my eldest brother and sister-in-law." But I don't know what Lord Ke knows and what I don't know, so if you want to ask me at this time, I can't answer. ”

She didn't look as generous as usual, so Ke Mingxu didn't ask. "If that's the case, let's talk about it in a few days. It's not early, the little county lord should rest early, so let's send it here. ”

Jinghu watched him take a few steps forward, only to suddenly remember that there was still something to be done, stepped out of the deck, stretched out his hands to stop him, "We still have something to finish." ”

Ke Mingxu looked like he was listening to her, and he was not much surprised by her actions.

Jinghu put down his hand and stood up straight, "We haven't discussed the matter of the Xie family's sister yet." Let's not do this, tomorrow we will leave half a day late, and I will personally go to find Mrs. Xie. ”

"If Mrs. Xie also agrees to stay on my boat with Sister Xie for a while to relieve the symptoms of seasickness, Lord Xiao Ke shouldn't object, right?"

Ke Mingxu is easy-going, if the wife of the Xie family agrees to move over, he should not object. Still, it's a question of whether he'll move in on his own.

If he was still living alone on the Xie family's ship, wouldn't he have lost his wife and soldiers? Mrs. Xie is also an elder anyway, but she is not bound by her elders for a long time.

"I can call the shots on my side, so can Master Xiao Ke make the decisions and let the ship travel half a day late?"

If he didn't agree, she would pull his sleeve and be coquettish, anyway, she wouldn't be embarrassed.

Ke Mingxu thought for a while, "Since this is the case, the little county lord wants to give it a try, so let's give it a try." Tomorrow may not be good weather, maybe it can't set sail yet, if the small county is mainly going to the Xie family's boat, you should be careful. ”

"Hmm." Jinghu responded with a smile, got out of the way, and waved his hand to Ke Mingxu, "I will take care of Mr. Zhou, Master Ke, a good night's sleep." ”

Ke Mingxu smiled and nodded with her, and then got off the boat and walked all the way to the dock with the return wind.

Jinghu's gaze couldn't leave him, his posture was always so upright and meticulous, she had never seen him slack.

It must be very hard to live like him all the time, but it is very meaningful and valuable.

Jinghu slowly walked to the side of the boat, his hand on the board, and his chin resting. Being able to see the person you like all the time is really a precious thing in life.

It was indeed not early, and even the docks, which were always full of people, fell into the silence of the night.

Not many people walked around in the light of the lanterns. Ke Mingxu stopped under a lantern that was not too bright, suddenly turned his head, saw Jinghu staring at him intently, and waved his hand at her.

That night, Jinghu embroidered a lantern on a handkerchief. She wanted to remember standing under the lantern and waving at her from afar, slowly raising a smiling man.
