Chapter 19 Betrothed
Qing Ning's eyes widened, and she saw that the person in the portrait was not very good-looking, although it was her, but without her posture and aura, the appearance would naturally be very different.
"Have you seen it?" The officer glanced at the portrait and asked her.
Qing Ning shook his head violently.
"Let's go!" The officer and soldier waved their hands impatiently and let her go.
There are many puddings coming and going in the town, some of them get together to talk about politics or family affairs, and you only need to stay here for a day to hear interesting stories about the town.
"No regrets! Why are you such a scoundrel? "There were two old men sitting under the banyan tree nearby, playing chess, and a group of people were gathered around them, all watching.
Qing Ning saw that it was interesting, she had also learned a thing or two when she was in the palace, so she hurriedly ran over.
I saw that black was better on the chessboard, and white was messy.
"How do you get here?" As soon as Qingning's words fell, a group of people looked over.
"Watching chess is silent, little girl must not say much." The old man with the black chess piece said.
Soon, the white chess piece was lost, and the old man with the black chess piece brushed his beard and was quite proud.
"Let Ben ...... Girl, let's have a game! Qing Ning pushed away the crowd, and the old man who lost quickly got up to let her, and Qing Ning sat down after thanking her.
The crowd around her began to talk about her, and everyone saw that she was the best in the town.
When Xiao Jingyi came to the town, he searched around and found that the officers and soldiers couldn't help but gasp when they searched for the princess of Qianchao, for fear that she would be arrested, and searched around in horror all the way for her whereabouts.
"Good!" From time to time, everyone exclaimed.
Xiao Jingyi glanced at the dense crowd, led the donkey to pass by, and thought to himself that he didn't know where she had gone, and if he found her, he would be scolded fiercely.
When Qing Ning fell a son, the chess game was decided, and everyone cheered, because this old man's name was Song Xiu, and his chess skills were so high that he was unbeatable in the town, and now he was won by a little girl, which was really embarrassing.
"The girl is handsome, and she plays chess so well, come back tomorrow! I'll play a game with you! "Someone next to me invited.
The chess game was dispersed, the people around gradually went home, watching the sun begin to set, this time it was several games, time passed quickly, Qingning walked on the trail with her burden, she wanted to go back to the mountain, and I didn't know if Yuqing was looking for her, she looked at the fiery sun, and couldn't help but feel sad.
"I've played, let's go home." A voice rang out from behind her.
Qing Ning turned her head and saw Yu Qing standing behind her with the sun on her back, unable to see his expression clearly.
After a moment, he turned around and left, Qing Ning's eyes were red, and he wanted to explain, but he just lifted his steps and froze in place.
"Not leaving?" Xiao Jingyi turned around again and said coldly.
Qing Ning pursed her lips and followed with tears in her eyes.
——
Back at the wooden house, Qing Ning only felt tired, Yu Qing sat down, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. Qing Ning took the water and drank it on his head, and then lowered his head to reflect.
Xiao Jingyi was much more tired than her, he anxiously looked for her all day, I don't know why she was leaving, when he heard Yun Ling's explanation, he was stunned, and blamed himself in his heart.
"Qingning followed you, and in the eyes of outsiders, she is your person, but you never thought of giving her a name, and you don't blame others for Xiao Xiang." Wan Ling said when he was.
Qing Ning saw that he didn't speak, his body was cold, and Xu was angry.
"I shouldn't have done this, and left without saying a word." Qing Ning said weakly.
Xiao Jingyi turned around abruptly and replied coldly, "Could it be that you will say hello next time and run away?" ”
"You know I didn't mean it!" Qing Ning was anxious, and her eyes were red.
I saw Xiao Jingyi sigh, he stretched out his hand and was about to wipe the tears from her eyes, but Qing Ning knocked his hand off.
Xiao Jingyi remembered that she was playing chess with Lao Suo today, she had a smug smile on her face, he thought that she was trapped with him in the uninhabited mountains, and her life was poor, and she really couldn't bear to suffer.
During the meal, the atmosphere was a little dull, and the two did not say a word to each other, but just lowered their heads and ate.
"How about we get engaged?" Xiao Jingyi thought about it for a long time, and finally opened her mouth now.
Qing Ning raised her head suddenly, her expression was incredible, only to feel her head rumble, and her face suddenly turned red.
"If you don't want to ......," Xiao Jingyi hadn't finished speaking.
Qing Ning didn't respond immediately, so he had to say impulsively, "This matter ...... Talk again! Talk again! ”
After saying that, both of them were a little embarrassed, Xiao Jingyi hurriedly got up to make a meal, Qingning immediately turned around and took out the clothes in the bag and put them away, her heart kept "banging", she knew that she was planted here.
At night, after Qingning bathed, her ears were still red, and she remembered the pamphlet she had read in the palace, and the words taught by her grandmother were really ...... Indescribable. She slept with her clothes early, only to feel that there was movement beside her, and Yu Qing also lay down at this time.
Qing Ning turned around, and the man next to him also turned around.
This night, I can clearly hear the melodious chirping of insects, the wind in the mountains and forests, and the sound of the violent heartbeat.
——
Early in the morning, Qing Ning woke up leisurely, wiped her sleepy eyes, she turned around, the sun fell on the couch through the window, maybe it was about to be summer, the daylight was mild, and it was very comfortable.
When Xiao Jingyi came in, Qing Ning was still in a daze, her hair and clothes were messy, lying on the couch looking at the trees outside the window, the sun was shining on her skin, white and red, very attractive.
He turned his eyes away, told her that the wildflowers in the mountains were bearing fruit, and invited her to take a look.
Qing Ning came back to his senses, recalled his words, and suddenly became interested, sleepy, and quickly got up and changed his clothes.
In the late spring, the wildflowers in the mountains have withered, and some of them have produced finger-sized fruits early, and at a glance, the birds are red, yellow, and orange, and sometimes they fall to the ground, pick up the fruit and run away.
"Wow~" Qing Ning followed Xiao Jingyi's side, and couldn't help but marvel when she saw this scene.
"I'll pick some for the bell to taste!" With that, she picked up the bamboo basket and rushed up, happily picking the fruit.
Xiao Jingyi stood behind her, and seeing that she was in a happy mood, a faint smile appeared on his face.
——
In Qingshui Village in the afternoon, Qingning passed by Zhao's house with a bamboo basket, and when Zhao Da saw her, she quickly hid in the house, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Knock knock!" Qing Ning knocked on the door of the bell.
"Wait a minute!" Yunling waited for Grandma to fall asleep, and hurriedly ran out and opened the door.
After seeing that it was Qingning, Wan Ling also breathed a sigh of relief and scolded her why she chose to say goodbye at night. Yun Ling told her how nervous Yu Qing was, looking for her as if she had lost her soul, and beat Zhao Da hard.
"In the future, you can relax." Wan Ling comforted her.
It turned out that the strategy of "saying goodbye without saying goodbye" was given to her by Wan Ling, and Wan Ling explained the reason when Yu Qing was hurriedly looking for her, so that Yu Qing knew why Qing Ning left, so that he could figure out his own mind.
Qing Ning chatted with Wan Ling, saying that Yu Qing asked her yesterday if she could be engaged when she was married.
When she heard this, her face immediately turned red, and she picked up a handkerchief to cover her face.
"You're so shy!" Qing Ning scolded her.
"If you are engaged, don't you want a cave room?" Yun Ling is a shameless person, and he blurted out this.
Although Qingning has been a horizontal person since she was a child, when she heard this, she gently struck the bell and scolded her, "You are not ashamed!" ”
