Chapter 148: Delay
It was not a hassle to make baked cakes, so even though Jinghu told him to slow down, the stall owner quickly sent Ke Mingxu two baked cakes wrapped in oiled paper.
The wonton in Jinghu's bowl was only half eaten, and when she heard him say that his teacher was waiting for him, she was embarrassed to force him to stay, so she had to endure her heartache and said: "Then Master Ke will go to the academy first, my carriage is at the mouth of the alley, and when I finish eating, I will go back." ”
He couldn't hear the reluctance in her voice, and still sat across from her, "I'm not in a hurry for a while." ”
She eats very slowly, everyone is from a background, and if she messes around on weekdays, she can't go wrong with these etiquettes. The fox also used to eat wonton, which was interesting.
Ke Mingxu said this, of course she wouldn't refuse, and she was embarrassed to be slow and reasonable, so she sped up slightly, "Won't Mr. Zhou be angry that year?" Isn't he treating you badly, and let you do such a small errand yourself. ”
He couldn't say that he offended his old man last time because of Jinghu's matter, so he had to say: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't been here for a while, and I just want to chat with the stall owner." ”
"Oh." Jinghu fed himself a spoonful of soup, and after swallowing it, he said slowly: "Then am I delaying your business?" ”
He had to continue to find an excuse, "Just ask if his wife is better, and he has already asked, and there is nothing else to do." ”
"Oh." Jinghu ran out of the last wonton and played with the green onions floating on the noodles.
"His wife is seriously ill. It's not easy to run this store alone and take care of his sick wife. Is Master Xiao Ke Mu Xiu today? So I came to serve the teacher again. ”
Ke Mingxu knew that she had begun to run out of words, so she didn't leave. But Fang was the one who said that there was nothing to do, so she didn't have to worry.
The little county lord seems to be very sensible on the surface, but he is afraid that he will delay his affairs, but in fact, he can still procrastinate.
When Fang Cai himself said that she was childish, he didn't know what she was thinking, and his eyes turned around on him a few times, which inexplicably made him feel a chill.
"Today is not Mu Xiu, but I have been a little free in the past two days, and the teacher said that there is something wrong, so I came out early." He wanted to tease her, "Although it doesn't hurt to be a little later, but if the baked cakes are cold, it's not good to deal with the teacher......"
As soon as his words fell, the little county lord didn't even care about his image, picked up the soup bowl and drank the soup hard, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "Master Xiaoke, I'm fine, I'll go and finish giving the money, let's go." ”
Ke Mingxu stood up with a smile, "I've already given it, so I don't have to give it else." The academy is not close to the palace of Yongning County, and the little county lord should have gone back earlier. ”
Jinghu consciously walked to his side, watched him say goodbye to the stall owner, and walked towards the alley with her.
"By the way, how is Bi Niang recently, does the little county lord know?"
As soon as Ke Mingbi was mentioned, Jinghu remembered yesterday, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a haze. She didn't want to speak, "I just went to visit my sister-in-law and brother Kai'er yesterday. ”
"Brother Kai'er is very good, but in my opinion, my sister-in-law is not very good. Maybe she and my brother weren't so compatible, and I couldn't find a way to make up for it now. ”
She wanted to tell Ke Mingxu all the roles she had played in the middle, but the alley was too short and out of place.
"It's not something you should think about." Ke Mingxu's voice was very quiet, "You just need to live your life well, and you don't have to carry the unhappiness of others on yourself." ”
It's because he doesn't know what she's done in between. If he knew, would he still be able to say such things to her?
Before getting into the carriage, she still wanted to say something. In Ke Mingxu's eyes, I am afraid that I still think that I am just reluctant to him.
Next time, next time if she has the opportunity, she wants to tell him all these words that are stuffed in her heart. It seems that no one in this world can comfort her, but he is so smart that he must be able to.
*
The carriage traveled for half an hour and stopped in front of the palace of Yongning County.
Jinghu entered the door, and Liu Huang, who was drinking tea in the gatehouse on the side, quickly saw her and followed her.
Jinghu was a little strange, "Sister Liu Huang? Why are you here? ”
Liu Huang lowered his head and complained: "The little county lord also said, if it weren't for the eighth lady of the Dingguo Mansion who sent you a piece of paper, we wouldn't have known that you had already come out of the Dingguo Mansion." That's why I'm waiting for you at the door. ”
"It's fortunate that the princess of the county hasn't returned home yet, and the side concubine hasn't asked, otherwise where would I go to find you?"
Jinghu quickly reacted to why Qingrou wanted to send her a note, she was in a hurry to get out of the garden, but she forgot about such an important matter. interrupted Liu Huang's complaint, "Sister Liu Huang, do you have that piece of paper with you?" ”
Liu Huang nodded, took out a gold-sprinkled plum blossom note from his purse and handed it to Jinghu.
Jinghu opened it and looked at it, and what was written on it was indeed the result of the inquiry she sent someone to the vicinity of Pingye Garden today.
The hairpin still could not be found, and asked the servant woman of the Pingye Garden, and said that it was true that no one else had entered the garden, but only a young lady in a goose-yellow gown, who was about a guest in the garden, so they politely explained the place to her and asked her to leave.
didn't say that Xu Yanjia was frightened, which is strange. In Xihe Garden, I was not frightened by the sika deer that suddenly came out, but I was still scared by something.
Besides, they can't say it to anyone.
Either Xu Yanjia lied, or Pingyeyuan's mother-in-law lied. But if the mother-in-law of Pingye Garden is lying, then for what?
Seeing that Jinghu was about to go in the direction of Fang Shixuan, Liu Huang reminded her behind her, "The little county lord is coming back from outside, it's best to go to the side concubine Niangniang to ask for peace first." Tomorrow, the uncle will leave for Hebei, presumably they are waiting for the little county lord. ”
As soon as she said this, Jinghu didn't want to go to Qixue Pavilion even more. But even if she doesn't go, when the concubine hears that she is back, she must have sent someone to Fang Shixuan to arrest her.
Jinghu had no choice but to turn around and walk in the direction of Qixue Pavilion.
Finally, Jing Shen is going out tomorrow, and he will not continue to look up and look down with her at home, and he will not have to face Ke Mingbi.
In the past, they always got together less and left more, but the relationship between husband and wife was better than now, but now that they are back to that kind of life, calm each other, and maybe they can slowly come up with a better solution.
But even if the mirror is broken and reunited, those traces cannot be repaired. If Ke Mingxu knew all the things, what kind of advice would he give to his sister?
The next time she had the chance, whether he blamed herself or not, she would have to ask him well.
