Chapter Sixty-Seven: We Men Least Like to Be Poorly Tempted
Just as people will always get tired after releasing their passions, once Ye Rou said this outrageous opinion, she fell into a new panic.
She pressed her eyelids, bit her lip, and stared at Shao Qing nervously.
When she was a teenager, she felt that he was like a familiar scenery around her, such as a jade pavilion in Yanjing City, or a quiet and winding clear stream outside the city.
She was at ease with him.
When he reached the age when he was in sight, when Ye Rou saw him again, she suddenly became scared, every time.
She was afraid that her speech and demeanor would teach him something to find strange, boring, ridiculous, or contemptuous.
And at this moment, she was afraid that Shao Qing would be angry.
The rebuke on which anger rests, or even the smashing of the table and the bowl, is nothing.
What Ye Rou is afraid of is that the anger itself will just show that her conjecture will never be false. Then she really didn't know how she could continue to stay in Kaifeng, and how she could do something with high spirits as she promised when she said goodbye to her father.
Shao Qing put down his chopsticks and picked up the bowl.
He pushed the bowl slightly away from him, his mouth slightly open, and his gaze fixed on one place, as if it had landed on the bluegrass pattern shown on the front of Ye Rou's short jacket.
Shao Qing didn't seem to be stunned, but seemed to be like a general who listened to the strategist, really thinking carefully about the strategist's idea.
Silence permeated the nominal master and servant.
After a while, Shao Qing narrowed his eyes, and finally said to Ye Rou: "You can make this idea, it seems that they are really learning very quickly from Lu Gang." ”
Ye Rou pondered his tone, not sarcastic.
Shao Qing sighed: "The idea is good, but it is impossible to realize." It's not that you don't know that when Yao Niangzi was in Gyeongju, she had already made a promise. That Lang was a military academy of the Huanqing Army, and died in the battle of Hongde City in Song Xia. For Zengfu's resistance to marriage, Yao Niangzi has done it once, and she can do it a second time, what is the difference between her uncle and her nephew? Don't look at the southerner woman's delicate appearance, but her bones are actually very hard. This Yao Niangzi does her best to do business and raise her younger brother, but she doesn't see any intention of remarrying. ”
He stood up, paced a few steps with his sleeves behind his back, and swept his indifferent gaze: "Don't talk about this Yao Niangzi." Ye Rou, Zeng Bu, this person, all know that the Privy Council is good, it is okay to be able to overpower Zhang Dian to be the first assistant, it is necessary for us to bury one or two secret piles in Zeng's house, at least, whether the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers are fighting or making peace with Western Xia, and whether I have the idea of recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun in Da Liao, we may know earlier. But ......"
Shao Qing walked up to Ye Rou and said word by word: "But, even if I, you, and Lu Gang, the three of us can hide in the political hall behind the Xuande Building and listen to the Son of Heaven discuss state affairs with the prime ministers, is it enough?" If the army defending a country is weak and old, what is the use of knowing the military situation in advance? ”
Ye Rou's goose egg face showed a hesitant look.
"Sir, I understand. The man from the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard, I, I have thought of a way to get acquainted with him a few days ago. His grandfather, sure enough, lives in the alley in front of him, and he often comes to see his grandfather. ”
Ye Rou snorted and didn't say any more, but her face turned even redder.
After all, she is still a girl who has not left the cabinet, even as a warrior loyal to Da Liao, she can't say some details of the plan, so she can only do it with her eyes closed.
How could Shao Qing not understand.
His heart softened, and he did feel a little sorry for this childhood partner in a flash.
Shao Qing's voice was deep: "The play you and Lu Gang are going to play, the bureau you want to do, you discuss and make up your own minds, you don't have to report everything to me." I'm sure both of you are very smart. It's just that once the matter of the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard has progressed, you have to be more and more careful with yourself. If you see that you are going to suffer, be sure to tell me, and I can find another way. You, like your sister, are going back to Yanjing to get married. In Kaifeng, I am actually like your eldest brother, if you have any mistakes, how can I explain to Ye Thorn Shi? ”
Ye Rou originally heard Shao Qing's words with concern, and when her chest was neutral, she was so surprised that she heard that Xiao Linya had agreed to her father's request to send her to Kaifeng.
Unexpectedly, she heard Shao Qing's last sentence in an instant, and she suddenly felt very happy and sad.
So, Xiao Qing, no matter whether you have affection for the Yao family or not, you just treat me as a brother and sister?
However, Ye Rou looked up at Shao Qing and saw that in his mist-like face, it was still as if a little warm sunlight had been revealed to him, and like a faint light in the distance, he taught the confused nocturnal life to have a trace of courage and hope.
Ye Rou remembered that before Kaifeng, her sister, who knew her thoughts, once told her: Xiao Qing, unlike those Khitan men who are bold and simple-minded, you can only do things well while trying your luck, and when he comes to you, you don't know how long you will be in love. And you can't be in a hurry to get angry, beg him, or even force him.
Ye Rou then beat her spirit and smiled: "What Mr. said, I wrote down." Sir, rest assured, the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard, Lu Gang and I are determined to win. Sir, wait for my good news. ”
Shao Qing bowed his head calmly: "People are easy to be tired in autumn, you go and take a nap, I will eat this sour cheese cake slowly." ”
Ye Rou obediently said "yes", turned around and walked out of the door.
Shao Qing stared at Ye Rou's back and disappeared around the corner of the courtyard, his face finally sank, and the two sword eyebrows tightened more and more.
Today, I really want to thank Ye Shushi, the little daughter, for her self-made clever temptation, which woke him up Shao Qing.
Lu Gang's tone is tight, Shao Qing is still sure. If you want to blame him or blame him Shao Qing himself, he must have forgotten to cover it up more and more when facing Yao Huan. Women are already more attentive than men, not to mention that Ye Rou still has wishful thinking for herself, and it is not surprising that she sees anything.
The two daughters of the Ye family, the elder sister doesn't talk about her, if this sister follows Ye Tingshi's temperament and doesn't give up until she achieves her goal, will it bring trouble and even danger to Yao Huan?
It seems that I will have to be more restrained next.
Alas.
Shao Qing leaned back a little annoyedly and leaned back on the willow chair.
At this moment, how he hoped that another puppet named Xiao Qing could be conjured in his body to complete the tasks that must be completed for him and deal with the people he must deal with.
This puppet can carefully arrange and direct the dark piles, collect useful information, find that useful thing, and send it back to Daliao.
This puppet can obey Xiao Linya's arrangement, not only has made achievements in official affairs, but also can marry the Han official group of the Southern Courtyard that the Great Liao Emperor relied on.
This puppet can use his already wise mind, coupled with many years of experience in living in Kaifeng City, to give advice to Da Liao, so as to match the half of the Khitan blood in his body.
And he, Shao Qing, who is free, or Xiao Qing, no matter what his surname is, he can be like a real ordinary Lang Zhong or Mr. Private School, to devote all his strength to pursuing a Great Song woman who is also ordinary, but makes him want to stay quietly with her.
Shao Qing turned his head and looked at the carefully framed words on the wall, and no longer saw the wrinkles and damage.
It was Su Shi's words, which he picked up from the foot-shop-like tavern and took it home like a baby.
For the calligraphy of the Nanren, Shao Qing originally loved Cai Xiang's characters.
And now, who is Cai Xiang?
He only loves Bachelor Sue.
Who asked Mr. Su to write a sentence in his "Huanxi Sha" clearly:
The taste of the world is refreshing.
