257: Shadow in the tent
No, in addition to her and the fifth old man, there is one person who has not forgotten.
Cheng Qing especially wants to talk to Meng Huaijin now, so that he knows that he is not alone. However, she was in Shangshu Mansion, and there was no Meng Huaijin by her side, only Cheng Jue with a slightly red face.
Master Cheng Liu's words in the study have already made Cheng Qi understand the reason why Cheng Qing was targeted in Guozijian.
It turned out to be offended by the county lord of Roujia.
Cheng Jue was puzzled by how Cheng Qing could have a relationship with the county lord of Roujia.
Cheng Qing thought of what Dong Jinqiu said yesterday, and pulled Cheng Jue over, making Mrs. Zhu and Cheng Zhixu jump in anger, it seems to be quite interesting?
Therefore, Cheng Qi asked her, Cheng Qing's attitude was not as rejecting as before, and he made up nonsense very seriously:
"It's a long story, that year I went to Beijing, and I unintentionally got acquainted with the county lord of Roujia, and the county lord fell in love with me at first sight, and repeatedly expressed his heart, but I already had a sweetheart, so I had to refuse the favor of the county lord...... Who knows that the county lord is hated by love, and I am also helpless! ”
Cheng Jue's expression was too exciting.
"Cheng Qing, do you think I will believe it?"
"Why don't you believe it, can't I be as handsome as my cousin, so I can't have a little lady who admires my talent? There are many people in this world who judge people by their appearance, and a small number of them only pay attention to the connotation! ”
Cheng Qing swore an oath, and Cheng Jue went from not believing a word to believing most of the time.
Cheng Qing also praised him for being handsome......
Since Cheng Qing returned to Nanyi in the sixth year of Chengping, the two met for the first time and formed a feud, when did Cheng Qing talk to him without being yin and yang?
Suddenly, his attitude was sincere and praised him for being handsome, but Cheng Jue couldn't find the right words to reply.
After holding it for a long time, he comforted Cheng Qing:
"Don't be presumptuous, you've grown a lot taller in the past two years, you're not ugly!"
Cheng Jue felt a little strange to evaluate the appearance of others.
The young Langjun he saw, in terms of good looks, should be second to none to be recommended by Meng Huai.
Even if he came to the capital and studied in the Guozi Prison, so many prisoners, no matter what their background, had never seen anyone who looked better than Meng Huaijin.
Meng Huaijin is below, which is probably Yu San's level.
is at the same level as Yu San, Cheng Qi has seen several, and Cui Yan, who has lost weight, is also very good.
As for himself, Cheng Jue has always been self-aware, his appearance is just upright, he can be called a middle-aged person, and he really can't be called "handsome".
And Cheng Qing, since the first time they met, has been thin and small, and there is no manhood.
But recalling the appearance of Cheng Qing in the sixth year of Chengping, compared with now, there have actually been very big changes. He has grown a lot taller, and the yellow gas on his face has faded to only a little, if you can look carefully, you will find that Cheng Qing's facial features are very good, and the best thing is that his eyes are black and white, which is very bright.
The other facial features don't seem to have grown yet, and they are a little dragging their eyes.
put Cheng Qing in a group of handsome young gentlemen, at first glance Cheng Qing is not good-looking, but when he looks at it again, he becomes more and more attractive.
Coupled with Cheng Qing's different style of acting from ordinary people, people always unconsciously want to pay attention to him, such a charm seems to be innate, and it is not surprising that the county lord will be happy with Cheng Qing!
"Ahem, when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, don't be too blunt when you deal with it. However, the county lord of Roujia is indeed not a good match, even I, a person who has just arrived in the capital for a long time, have heard that the county lord of Roujia trampled a peasant to death on the street, for this matter, there is also a royal history to complain to the emperor, but unfortunately the emperor did not hesitate to punish the county lord of Roujia for a year of silver, and ordered the princess's mansion to pay the farmer's family a sum of silver to close the case, but the imperial history, after half a year, was sent to Lingnan by a paper order! ”
Cheng Qi said, his mouth pursed into a straight line.
Conniving at his niece and belittling the imperial history who dares to tell the truth is not something that the Holy Emperor would do.
It's a pity that I'm just a small lifter, and I can't manage it if I want to.
The hippie smile on Cheng Qing's face slowly retracted.
She really wanted to tell Cheng Qi that Rou Jia not only trampled on the street on horseback, but also killed Cheng Rong!
This cannot be said.
Cheng Jue is too young, and Cheng Qing doesn't believe in the other party's psychological endurance.
In a few days, he was going to the eldest princess's mansion for a banquet, and Cheng Jue accidentally showed his traces, and he would startle the snake.
"Cousin, in fact, I am joking, I offended the county lord of Roujia because she saw me talking a few words to Xiao Yunting, the prince of Yewang, Roujia regards Xiao Shizi as a forbidden body, regardless of men and women, whoever is close to Xiao Shizi is unlucky!"
This is a one-time reminder to Cheng Jue to stay away from the two people.
Xiao Yunting, the county lord of Roujia and the prince of Ye!
Cheng Jue was stunned when he heard this, there are still women in the world who regard men as forbidden to him, Cheng Jue didn't care about pursuing Cheng Qing's deception to him just now, and blurted out:
"It's ridiculous!"
"Yes, it's really ridiculous, if you stay in this capital for a long time, the more you will find that there are more ridiculous things, it is far better to live comfortably in Nanyi County."
People are cheap when they leave their homes.
The capital is naturally not as comfortable as Nanyi, the hometown.
Whether it's food, climate, or the familiar local sound.
But a good man has ambitions in all directions, and the comfort of his hometown will wear out people's struggles, and Cheng Jue does not regret going to Beijing.
Seeing that Cheng Jue was in his own mood, Cheng Qing waved and said good night and went back to his room.
The room prepared for her by Cheng Liu's wife Qin had lived in Shangshu Mansion when she came back to Shangshu Mansion, and Cheng Qing was also familiar with the road. She sent the maidservants down, and was about to go to bed in her clothes, when she saw a shadow reflected in the bed.
Cheng Qing paused, pretended to take off his boots, pulled out the dagger tied to his leg, hid it in his sleeve, and touched a paper bag from the other side.
Wait until she slowly straightens up, and continues to undress as if nothing happened.
While retreating to the door quietly.
Approaching the doorframe, she heard a chuckle as a figure was cast on the wall by candlelight, right behind her!
Cheng Qing spilled the contents of the paper bag with his hand, and stabbed the dagger back!
The shadow behind him snorted.
Stabbed.
The clothes were torn and pierced into the flesh, and it was in vain that she spent a lot of money to buy this dagger from the pawnshop outside the old man He, it was really sharp!
"Save—"
I can't stop shouting for help.
A cold sharp weapon pointed at her vest, she was about to finish shouting "help", and the other party might stab her to death.
This eerie familiarity.
Shangshu Mansion is a hellish defense.
It's not as safe as her in her own home, protected by a few big dogs and a dozen or so family members!
"Thistle?"
Cheng Qing tried to shout.
The person behind him didn't move.
Cheng Qing licked his lips: "We are all old acquaintances, why bother to move the sword and sword, don't you say?" ”
Another footstep sounded in the room, someone walked in from afar, and Cheng Qing heard laughter.
"Old acquaintance, you just lime powder and dagger together? Cheng Qing, you are also a provincial solution, you should be an example for readers, where did you learn these tricks! ”
Not only Xiao Ji, but even Xiao Yunting came in person.
Cheng Qing thought that this sick man had forgotten her, after all, the two had not seen each other for more than a year, and Xiao Yunting may have discovered other interesting "toys".
Sure enough, she was too naïve!
