Chapter 17: Estrangement

When I came to Qingshui Village, the village was very quiet in the afternoon, some had gone out to farm, and some were sleeping at noon.

Next door to the Chen family is the Zhao family, and when Qingning passed by the Zhao family, the eldest son of the Zhao family saw that she was coming again, and hurriedly came to say hello.

"Miss Jingjia." Zhao Da walked towards her.

"What?" Qing Ning frowned, feeling that this person looked at her very obscenely.

"Is it okay to stay in the mountains?" Zhao Da asked.

Qing Ning replied unhappily, "Very good." ”

After that, she was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhao shouting.

"Miss Jingjia!" Zhao Da chased after him, "Don't say I didn't alert you, Yu Qing also saved a maid last time, and now she is married to the Wen family at the head of the village, and she has also got the Wen family's consistent copper coins." ”

"What do you say you are doing?" Qing Ning was a little impatient.

Zhao Dazheng wanted to elaborate on her, so as to bluff her. At this time, Wan Ling came out, saw Qing Ning coming, and hurriedly called her over.

"What are you tearing up with him?" She led her into the house.

"Did Yu Qing ever save a woman?" Qing Ning asked.

Wan Ling was stunned for a moment, and said to her, "Why did he suddenly say this?" ”

Qing Ning wanted to know the details, so he asked Wan Ling carefully, Wan Ling only said that a few years ago in the summer, Yu Qing came back from the town, and led a woman, who was said to be saved from the hands of a rich and noble family, but it didn't take long for the eldest son of the Wen family to fall in love with the woman, so he came to the door to propose, Yu Qing Yi, the woman cried when she got married.

"Don't think about it, that woman is not a good person, maybe she seduced the eldest son of the Wen family." Wan Ling said.

Qing Ning lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, his heart was full of thoughts, and he was just a dispensable servant girl in his heart? If the eldest son of the Zhao family comes to the door to propose, will he still do it? I don't know how much copper coins are worth?

She was holding a handkerchief in a daze, and Granny Chen on the side walked over with staggering steps and asked her how old she was.

"If you stay in time, are you engaged to Yu Qing?" Granny Chen asked.

Qing Ning's face turned red, she didn't know what to say, so she had to lower her head, only feeling ashamed and a little embarrassed.

When leaving, Qing Ning carried a bamboo basket around the Zhao family and prepared to go home. At the right time, the aunt of the Li family came to meet her.

"Jingjia, the rapeseed the day before yesterday, did you plant it?" Aunt Li asked.

"Planted." Qing Ning said.

Between the words, I saw a delicate woman carrying a bamboo basket in the distance from a distance, Qingning glanced at it and asked Aunt Li if it was the lady of the Wen family.

"Exactly." Aunt Li smiled meaninglessly.

"But Yu Qing saved it?" Qing Ning asked her cautiously.

"Although it was saved by Yu Qing, oh! Don't say it......" Aunt Li waved her hand.

After Qingning said goodbye to Aunt Li, she walked back to the mountains, feeling depressed along the way, thinking that she should always be married, she should always be married, what can she do? Could it be that he will stay with Yu Qing in this mountain for a lifetime?

Only then did she return to the mountainside, and saw the curling smoke from a distance, Qingning paused, and couldn't help but tears in her eyes, where was her destination?

"So early today?" Qing Ning pushed open the door and said to him.

"Well, there is nothing important in the mountains, so I came back." Xiao Jingyi was lighting a fire, he rolled up his sleeves and squatted down, the firelight reflected on his face, and the slave words next to his cheeks were clear and dazzling.

Qing Ning turned around, silently wiped away his tears, and walked over to him with a low face and asked, "How is the drinking today?" ”

"How can you be so Yaxing?" Xiao Jingyi glanced at her and smiled.

His smile was soft, and the smoke lingered beside him, but Qingning choked on tears.

"Go out and rest, and you'll be fine soon." Xiao Jingyi asked her to go outside for a walk and come back when the meal was ready.

The sun is thin, the golden shimmer reflects the mountains and forests, Qingning sits in front of the wooden house, the flower seeds planted some time ago have sprouted, a piece of green.

During the meal, Qing Ning took out a pot of wine from Wan Ling, poured it into the bowl, and drank it all in Xiao Jingyi's frowning doubt.

"!" Qing Ning raised the bowl and shouted.

Xiao Jingyi felt a little funny, raised her eyebrows, and thought that she could drink, so he raised the bowl and drank it all.

After three rounds of drinking, Qing Ning was already drunk, she was confused, and suddenly cried, covering her face and choking, "You should go, you should go." ”

The smile on Xiao Jingyi's face faded, and he quietly looked at the person in front of him.

"I'm just a prisoner you saved, and I don't blame you if you sell me." Qing Ning cried heartbreakingly, looked at him and said.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Jingyi was a little helpless, and got up to find Zhang Zizi to wipe her tears.

"Don't you want me anymore? Don't sell me to the Zhao family! Qing Ning said drunken words, she got up and followed, pulling Yu Qing's clothes.

Xiao Jingyi was stunned, the bruises on his face flared up, he seemed to know the ins and outs of the matter, it must be the eldest son of the Zhao family who slandered in front of her, so as to provoke the relationship between the two of them.

After a while, Xiao Jingyi silently turned around and wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief.

"Don't think nonsense, I won't leave you." Xiao Jingyi held her face, only to see that her eyes were red and her face was full of tears.

"No." She snorted and blinked.

"Let's get some rest." He looked at her and said softly.

Qing Ning nodded, still choking there, she obediently climbed back to the couch, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.

The night was deeper, and it was even deeper. Xiao Jingyi closed the window, the room was very dark, he walked over to help her tuck the quilt, sat aside and looked at her quietly.

Xiao Jingyi pondered, the two of them were alone in the mountains, and in the eyes of outsiders, she was a servant girl, she was really stupid, he caressed her face with some distress.

Then he stood up, put on his cloak, put on his hat and went out.

The barking of the dogs in the village was especially clear in the night, breaking the silence of the night. Xiao Jingyi knocked on the door of Zhao's house, the lights in the room had been extinguished, and Xu was asleep. He banged on the door of the Zhao family vigorously, because the Chen family next door only had women, so much movement that no one dared to come out to take a look.

"Zhao Da! Zhao Da! Xiao Jingyi shouted a few times in a low voice.

Suddenly, there was movement inside, the candle flame was lit, and someone asked, "Who?" ”

"Yu Qing." Xiao Jingyi replied.

Soon, the door creaked open, Zhao Da's eyes were so sleepy that he couldn't open them, and before he could see Yu Qing and the others clearly, he was grabbed by the collar and dragged out alive.

"Ahh Zhao Da snorted, and Yu Qing landed a punch in his face.

"What are you crazy about!" Zhao scolded a sentence.

Xiao Jingyi kicked him in the stomach fiercely, only to see Zhao Da fall to the ground, clutching his stomach in pain. Xiao Jingyi grabbed his collar and said condescendingly, "If you dare to fight Jingjia's idea, I will abolish you." ”

Zhao Da was stunned, he was sleepy, lying on the ground silently, his mother Aunt Zhao quickly got up when she heard the sound, and saw that her eldest son was beaten to the ground, and quickly helped him up.

"Yu Qing! What are you doing? "Aunt Zhao is usually a kind person and has a lot of dealings with Yu Qing.

"Ask him, that he may teach him not to covet those whom he should not covet." Xiao Jingyi said coldly, turned around and left.

Aunt Zhao scolded her son a few words.

Yu Qing's figure gradually disappeared into the night.

"The two of them, before they fell down, were both rich or noble people, not that you can afford to climb." Aunt Zhao reprimanded a few words.
