Chapter 180: Doubts
For some reason, Xue Ling remembered that Jiang Tingxue had said something to the effect that when it came to appearance, Nangong Chen was far inferior to Zeng Yi, and she didn't feel anything at that time, but now she couldn't help nodding secretly.
Jiang Tingxue is not very good, but she is very talented in vision.
Xue Ling didn't feel a trace of sleepiness, and looked at Siyu, who was sleeping soundly next to her, and got up gently.
The carriage and horses stopped by the empty lake, and the cool breeze gusted.
The Buddha has a different kind of gentleness on his face.
The air is also very fresh, and you can smell the light scent of grass.
Leaving the Xue family and walking out of the back house, Xue Ling felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, and his mood at this time was as quiet as water.
Her steps were very easy.
Stepping on the grass makes a subtle sound.
Zeng Yi didn't need to look back, he could also detect that it was Xue Ling's footsteps.
In the darkness of the night, only a waning moon hung high.
Under the moonlight, his expression could be vaguely seen.
You can see the light in his eyes, shining in the dark night.
Zeng Yi's voice was very steady, and when he spoke, he deliberately suppressed his mood.
"Brother Xiuwen went back to the car and fell asleep, and we rested here for an hour, and then continued to set off."
After he finished speaking, he asked, "Is it because you are not used to sleeping in the car?" How did you wake up? ”
Xue Ling nodded, she was the eldest lady of the Xue family, even if she was deducted two taels of silver in the ancestral house, her mother still tried her best to give her a good life.
This kind of eating and sleeping in the open has been experienced for two lifetimes, and it is the first time I have encountered it.
Although she is not a person who can't bear hardship, this body and bones really can't deceive people.
"It's okay, I can stand it. Don't you have to sleep? Xue Ling asked.
Zeng Yi smiled, "No need, the night is different from the day, I am more relieved to stare at it in person." When the day comes, I'll go and rest. ”
Afraid that she would be worried, he said first, "I'm different from you, I'm a man, it's right to suffer some hardships, you have a daughter's family, this time, I'm really sorry for letting you travel thousands of miles." ”
Xue Ling probably guessed that he was so vigilant because he had female dependents in his entourage.
Since it was mentioned, Xue Ling couldn't help but ask, "I want to ask, you know that it is inconvenient to carry a woman, I am young, and I may not be able to successfully pray for rain, why do you still make such a request, can I know the reason?" ”
The atmosphere was very quiet, and Xue Ling finally couldn't help but ask.
Afraid that he would be embarrassed, Xue Ling added another sentence.
"Mr. Zeng, you don't have to answer me, if you do, I want to hear the truth."
Xue Ling's voice was very soft, but it was resolute, and every word hit the bottom of his heart.
Zeng Yi raised his head and looked at her, his expression changed uncertainly, and finally he just shook his head, "Maybe you will know later, but now I can't say anything." ”
Xue Ling stared at him, he didn't say anything, but there was not the slightest hostility in those eyes, which she could distinguish.
Xue Ling didn't ask any more, she said, "Although Mr. didn't say anything, I still want to thank Mr. for this move." I thought that Mr. was born in a family of witch doctors, but he chose a career as an official, and he would be a little dismissive of witch doctors. ”
This kind of thing has not been done by Zeng Yi in the previous life. Nor will it be done.
And now Zeng Yi is doing this, which is what she is very puzzled about.
Zeng Yi's smile was a little bitter, "I did disagree with the witch doctor family in the past, but then something happened that made me regret it for life, and I slowly realized that a person is too persistent, whether it is insisting on supporting or opposing it, it is not right." ”
His voice was full of vicissitudes and remorse, and it really had a great impact on him.
Xue Ling is not a person who likes to explore privacy, in such an atmosphere, she almost blurted out, "I always thought that Mr. was smooth sailing, but I didn't expect Mr. to have so many things that are difficult to let go,"
She looked over and remembered that when he had mentioned his deceased fiancée, he had also looked so chagrinous and remorseful, "Is it about the fiancée of the husband?" The past is gone, and Mr. is young and always has to look forward. ”
At this time, a voice sounded in the back, "Fiancée? When did Brother Shi Yue have a fiancée. ”
It was indeed Jiang Xiuwen who came over, he slept for a while, thinking about replacing Zeng Yi, and just came over and heard the conversation between the two, Jiang Xiuwen was a little hesitant, but he still interrupted the conversation between the two.
Xue Ling noticed the abnormality, raised her head, and just met Zeng Yi's gaze, her eyes revealed a lot of emotions that she couldn't see clearly, and she suddenly felt a little vigilant in her heart.
She didn't say anything, just took a few steps back, "Mr. Zeng, I'll go back and rest." ”
Zeng Yi looked at Xue Ling's back, different from speaking freely at the beginning, the futile alienation suddenly widened the distance between the two.
He sighed slightly.
Jiang Xiuwen walked over, "Ah Ling's temperament, you can't tolerate a little sand, you have always sat upright, how could you lie to her, don't blame me, I can't help you deceive her." ”
Zeng Yi sighed slightly and looked at Chang Shan, who was probing his brain towards this side.
Chang Shan stuck out his tongue, "It was the last time I blurted it out, but don't forget the childe, on the day of the lunar month last year, the son got drunk and wrote a memorial essay, I asked the childe, and the son said that it was written to the deceased wife." ”
Jiang Xiuwen became more and more puzzled, "Since you have a deceased wife, why don't you tell me," he put away his expression as he said it, and said in a righteous manner, "If that's the case, I will never allow you to provoke Ah Ling, if there is a good one, I can't explain it to my father and aunt." Even if you and I have been friends for many years, it can't be. ”
Zeng Yi exhaled softly, "It's not what you think." ”
Chang Shan suddenly spoke, "I suddenly remembered that there are two sentences in the memorial text of the son,"
He muttered, "No one asks about the snow falling, the phoenix falls into the dusk, and." ”
He had just read the first two sentences.
Zeng Yi glanced over.
Chang Shan hurriedly shut up, and then looked at Jiang Xiuwen as if asking for help.
When Jiang Xiuwen heard these two poems, his doubts deepened, but he still said to Chang Shan, "You go to sleep first, I'll have a few words with your son." ”
He looked at Zeng Yi suspiciously, lowered his voice, and asked, "This poem alludes to a person's name, Brother Shi Yue, but why?" ”
Zeng Yi smiled faintly, "Really? ”
And Xue Ling lay on the foot, these two poems drifted to her ears with the wind, she was shocked, and the whole person sat up.
The poem alludes to her name.
But he used words like falling and falling.
