Chapter 176: Temptation
King Jiangling was really a little surprised, but on that day, Xue Ling was able to play the Xuanji Qin, and he was by no means an ordinary person, he had already seen it, "Miss Xue San, it is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows." However, the two heads of the family recommended themselves at the same time, how to choose, this matter still needs to be decided by Mr. Zeng. ”
Zeng Yi looked over, just as Xue Ling raised his head and looked over.
After Xue Ling finished saying this, she could clearly feel that Zeng Yi's expression showed a little relief.
Jiang Mingxu didn't know why, he was a little worried, and said, "Ah Ling, don't mess around, you just stay in the Xue family to learn witchcraft and learn how to take care of the Xue family, such a big thing, wait until you grow up and get involved." ”
Old lady Qiu also recognized it, so she stood up and said, "Ah Ling, what your uncle said is reasonable, you are still young, and there will be more opportunities for training in the future, and now the Xue family can assign someone to go there,"
said to Xue Jihong and Xue Jiman, "As witch doctors, you two should also make a statement." ”
Xue Jihong was originally very opposed to Xue Ling going, but when he heard that he was going to go on top of himself, he immediately stopped squeaking.
Xue Jiman naturally didn't say much.
Xue Ling lowered her head and smiled, "Thank you uncle and grandfather, I have already thought about it, my father has taught since childhood, the righteousness of the country, bear the brunt, if I am raised in the deep boudoir as usual, I will naturally hide behind my father and brother, and now that I have taken on the responsibility of the Xue family, I can't use my youth as an excuse, and I am willing to follow the example of your elders and contribute to the north." In addition, the Xue family is also willing to help the north to tide over the difficulties with ten thousand gold. ”
Zeng Yi looked at Xue Ling approvingly, and said, "I have heard that the Jiangling Wu clan is the most righteous and careful, and when I see it today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation, and the two families of the Xue family are worthy of being the Wu clan members in the land of Jiangling, but the meaning of the saint today, the witch doctor who goes there needs to be proficient in praying for rain." As far as I know, this is the weak point of the Jiang family. ”
King Jiangling nodded and said, "The Jiang family is indeed not good at this technique. ”
The head of the Wu family suddenly spoke, "If it comes to the witchcraft of seeking rain, these four major families naturally respect the Xue family. It's a pity that Jiyuan is no longer there, if he is far away, he must have taken the initiative to ask for help, and now the girl of the Xue family is too young and reluctant to go, it is difficult to take on a big responsibility, and it is really not appropriate to force it. ”
What the head of the Wu family said was quite a bit of a speech for Xue Ling.
Xue Ling said, "Thank you Uncle Wu, the daughter inherits her father's will, it should be so, Lord Wang, although I am young, but when my father was alive, he also taught me the witchcraft of praying for rain, and now that the north is in trouble, I am willing to do my part." ”
Xue Jiman finally turned around, and his wit moved, if Xue Ling went to the Northland at this time, she naturally had no time to take care of the Xue family's affairs, and when she came back, it should be another situation, if it was now
Since Xue Ling took the initiative to ask Ying, Xue Jiman echoed, "Although Ah Ling is young, she is also willing to take responsibility, this is the blessing of our Xue family, let the prince allow it." ”
King Gangneung naturally does not call the shots directly.
He looked at Zeng Yi, "What does Mr. Zeng think, I heard that Mr. Zeng's homeland is also in the Northland, and it is a witch doctor clan, so this matter is still decided by Mr. Zeng." ”
Zeng Yi nodded, "Since the head of the Xue family took the initiative to ask for help." I worked hard for the head of the Xue family to go on this trip. As for the landlords,"
Jiang Mingxu sighed secretly, since Xue Ling had already asked for help, he couldn't rest assured no matter what, "I'll accompany Ah Ling on this trip." ”
Xue Ling said, "Uncle, I just became the head of the family, and now I am going to the Northland, and I hope that my uncle will stay and take care of my aunt and sister for me." ”
Jiang Xiuwen said, "Father, there are still important things at home, you can stay, and I will accompany my cousin on this trip." ”
King Gangneung said, "Since this is the case, it has been decided. ”
Xue Ling got up.
walked up to Jiang Xiuwen, "Thank you uncle and cousin." ”
Jiang Xiuwen shook his head and said, "Cousin doesn't have to be so polite, this is also my duty as a child of the Southern Wu Clan, not for you." ”
In the previous life, the Jiang family was also the only one to go, as Jiang Xiuwen said, he was originally going to go.
Xue Ling turned around and left the house.
There was a voice of discussion behind him, "I didn't expect this girl to be a little old and a little arrogant." ”
"Who said no, it's not a good thing to go to the north, if you can't do it, it's small to lose face, and it's big to be held accountable by the emperor, you see, it's still the Qiu family, the two heads of the Wu family, they are old and see it thoroughly."
When Xue Ling walked to the door.
Seeing Zeng Yi standing at the door, Xue Ling stepped forward.
The eyes are facing each other.
"I'm here as promised." Xue Ling spoke first.
"Well, I know I'm a little embarrassed for you,"
Xue Ling shook his head, "This is a favor I owe, no matter how difficult it is, as long as you open your mouth, I will go, not to mention, there is trouble in the north, and my Wu clan in the south should not stand idly by, if I am just a boudoir girl, it is another matter, since I have taken over the position of the head of the family, I will naturally not shirk." ”
She leaned down and bowed.
"I'll go back to the house first, there are still some things to deal with, see you at the city gate in the evening."
She turned away.
Zeng Yi looked at her distant back, a little distracted.
Such a scene fell under the eyes of Jiang Xiuwen behind him.
Jiang Xiuwen and Zeng Yi are about the same age, but they have already married a wife and had a daughter, so they can naturally see the hidden thoughts behind this scene at a glance.
He secretly regretted how he hadn't noticed it earlier.
Just thinking about it like this, I feel that it is not very compatible, not to mention anything else, only to talk about Xue Ling's identity alone, and there is absolutely no reason to marry outside.
And Zeng Yi's knowledge and ambition have no reason to get into it.
He didn't know whether Zeng Yi was a whim or a deep dip in the mud, it was obvious that his cousin, who was bent on the family, still looked ignorant, it seemed that Zeng Yi was in unrequited love.
Jiang Xiuwen decided to test it, he said with a smile, "As far as I know, Brother Shiyue and my cousin have only met a few times, when did they become so familiar with their cousin, you and I have made friends, I don't seem to know." ”
"I've seen it a few times." Zeng Yi showed a rare relaxation on his face, and there was a faint smile in his eyes, which was not deliberately hidden.
Jiang Xiuwen looked at him carefully and understood what Zeng Yi meant, "You and I have known each other for nearly ten years, you have been calm and calm since childhood, none of our classmates dare to get close to you, I rarely see you show a different look like now." ”
He asked tentatively, "Is it because my cousin agreed to go to the Northlands?" ”
Zeng Yi didn't speak, he didn't deny it.
"Brother Shi Yue, you won't look at my cousin."
Jiang Xiuwen said half-tentatively and half-jokingly.
