183 Parting with Qing
Qiu Xiyin responded, and as soon as he arrived at the Weeping Flower Gate, he saw Deng Wenya's maid waiting beside him, and when he saw her coming, he stepped forward and saluted, "Third cousin girl, it is inconvenient for our girl to go out now, I want to invite the third girl to talk."
Qiu Xiyin nodded, "I'll go back and change my clothes and go to talk to my cousin."
Since she returned to the capital, she went out early and returned late every day, and only ordered someone to send a simple congratulatory gift, and she had not yet gone to see Deng Wenya, and now she sent someone to call, she was going to go.
The maid responded, and Xie Jiamian asked, "Is that the cousin who wants to enter the palace to be a mother?" ”
Qiu Xiyin nodded, and Xie Jiamian reminded, "The fourth prince wants you to stay away from that cousin."
Qiu Xiyin smiled, "Don't worry, I'm measured."
The two broke up at the Hanging Flower Gate, Xie Jiamian went to the guest house to rest, Qiu Xiyin went back to Sangyu Courtyard to bathe and change clothes, and after dinner, he went to find Deng Wenya.
Deng Wenya asked her to match the embroidery thread for her wedding dress, and asked her to draw a few Xipa patterns for her, and the two discussed as before, and it took nearly an hour to match the embroidery thread and patterns.
Qiu Xiyin saw that it was not too early, so he proposed to leave, Deng Wenya got up and took a pear wooden box and handed it to her, and said a little sadly, "Third sister, over the years, in addition to your second sister, I have only been better with you, I will enter the palace in the future, and there will be fewer days to meet in the future, you can keep this as a souvenir."
Qiu Xiyin nodded and took it, Deng Wenya said, "My father bought a house in Beijing, I will move over tomorrow, and I will marry from there, the first day of the Jiangnan woman's marriage, she has to ask her sisters and friends to press the bed, I don't know if the third sister will be free at that time?" ”
Qiu Xiyin nodded, "I have to be empty, why didn't my cousin marry from Qiu's mansion and move to a new house?" ”
Marrying from Qiu's Mansion is to tell the world that she Deng Wenya is backed by Qiu Shaofu and Xie, and her life will be much better after she enters the palace.
The Deng family is rich, and the silver will not be used up in a few lifetimes, and the identity is worse after all, even if Deng Wenya doesn't know, Deng Lu must be clear.
Could it be that Qiu Shixing, Qiu Zhengshen or the Xie family did not allow her to marry from the Qiu Mansion?
Deng Wenya said abruptly, "It has nothing to do with others, I begged my father myself." I have been sheltered by my uncle and aunt for many years, and now that I have entered the palace, my uncle and aunt do not approve of it, and secondly, my future is uncertain, and it is really not good to drag my uncle and aunt to clear their names."
In her previous life, Deng Wenya was decided by Qiu Zhengshen to marry a young jinshi in the next department, and soon followed her husband to work abroad, and she did not return to Beijing until she died.
She doesn't know much about this cousin, Deng Wenya took the initiative to find a house to marry, no matter whether her original intention is really as noble as she said, it will always make Qiu Shixing feel better, and it will always make the Qiu family less turbulent, which is always good.
Qiu Xiyin was ignorant, oh, Deng Wenya smiled, "You are still young, what am I going to do with you, it's not too early, you go back first."
Qiu Xiyin held the box and saluted and retired, and returned to Sangyu Courtyard to open it, but it was an ancient painting and a unique book, all of which were rare things, and such a parting ceremony was very attentive.
After a lifetime, Qiu Xiyin still likes these, but he lacks the fanaticism of his previous life, and what he remembered was a parting gift for Feng Zhinan.
She was silent for a while, estimating that she would not be able to sleep for a while, so she ordered her to call and open the warehouse with her mother, and slowly checked it.
……
……
Early the next morning, Feng Zhinan really came to the gate of Qiu's Mansion to pick up Qiu Xiyin, and after running outside the city for a day, Qiu Xiyin was already able to ride a pony very smoothly.
Feng Zhinan opened his mouth and praised, "No wonder my cousin has been praising you for being smart, you can be regarded as a fast learner."
Qiu Xiyin was surprised, "King Ningjun? ”
How did he tell if she was smart or not?
Feng Zhinan quietly changed the topic, "Only if you want to be proficient in riding, you have to practice slowly in the future."
Qiu Xiyin really chased and asked, "The princess won't teach me tomorrow?" ”
Feng Zhinan nodded, "I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"Ah, so fast!"
Feng Zhinan nodded, "Bai Feng has already taken a step ahead, not to teach you to ride a horse, I will also go."
Qiu Xiyin was silent, "Then I'll go to see off the princess tomorrow morning."
Feng Zhinan nodded, and Qiu Xiyin said again, "I'm really tired of learning to ride a horse these days, and I may not be able to get up tomorrow morning, if I go late, the princess must wait for me."
Feng Zhinan glanced at her a little strangely, but still nodded.
Qiu Xiyin smiled, "Then let's talk about it, the princess is not allowed to leave without waiting to see me."
Feng Zhinan nodded and should not mention it.
Early the next morning, Qiu Xiyin rode the horse sent by Feng Zhinan to Baqiao, and before she and Feng Zhinan agreed, she told Huizhong to stay and wait for Feng Zhinan, and she and Xiujin went all the way to the direction of Xie's family lane.
Ying went far away and didn't see Xie Tanwei's figure, she was afraid that Feng Zhinan would be in a hurry, and she was afraid that she would miss Feng Zhinan's matter, so she could only return disappointed.
When she rushed back to Baqiao, Ning Shenzhi and Feng Zhinan were already waiting, Qiu Xiyin dismounted and saluted, and said apologetically, "I came early, and I wanted to ride a horse and run around for a while, didn't delay the princess's time?" ”
Feng Zhinan nodded.
Qiu Xiyin, "......"
Princess, you are always too honest to bear.
Ning Shenzhi coughed and said, "It's okay, she's not in a hurry."
Qiu Xiyin put away his speechless mood, and took out a purse embroidered with silver thread Sanskrit on a blue background from his sleeve, "The princess is in a hurry, and she has no time to prepare, this was originally embroidered for the little uncle to keep her safe, and now it is given to the princess, which is a herb to prevent mosquitoes and poisons, and a night pearl, I hope it can be of some use to the princess."
Feng Zhinan took it, his fingers stroking the complicated text, "What is the word?" ”
"The Buddha is immeasurably bright".
Feng Zhinan sighed and asked again, "What do you mean?" ”
Qiu Xiyin choked, you suddenly sighed first, and then asked what does it mean?
Ning Shenzhi spoke, "The Buddha is immeasurably bright, illuminating the fruits of the ten directions, and there is no obstacle, so it is called Amitabha." To put it simply, when we see the name of the Buddha, the light of the Buddha can shine on us."
Qiu Xiyin looked at him in surprise, she originally thought that he was wearing a string of Buddhist beads to pretend, but she didn't expect him to really read the Buddhist scriptures.
Ning Shenzhi doesn't have the talent of her, Xie Tanwei, and Xie Jiashu, and she can't remember it by casually looking at the Buddhist scriptures, she must have worked hard.
"My cousin goes to the Buddha hall every day, and he is really reading the scriptures."
Feng Zhinan's voice sounded coldly, no different from usual, but how to listen to it had a taste of sarcasm.
Ning Shenzhi's tone was neither salty nor light, "If you go to the Buddhist hall and don't read the Buddhist scriptures, do you want to doze off?" ”
Qiu Xiyin glanced at him in surprise again, is he joking?
King Ningjun, who never smiled in his previous life and never spoke unless necessary, even laughed in this life?
Sensing Qiu Xiyin's scrutiny, Ning Shenzhi's face tightened even more.
Feng Zhinan saw his cowardice, snorted disdainfully, and stuffed his purse into his arms, "I'm leaving, Yinyin, you have a chance to come to Liangzhou to see me in the future."
Qiu Xiyin nodded seriously, "Definitely."
Feng Zhinan hugged her fist at her, and was about to speak, when he suddenly listened to it and said, "There is the sound of horses' hooves, and there are people calling for sound."
Qiu Xiyin was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced, "It's my little uncle!" Uncle I'm here! ”
Saying that, he urged the horse to meet him, and after a while, he saw Xie Tanwei and Lan Jiu coming on a fast horse, and when he saw her, Lan Jiu slowed down the horse, but Xie Tanwei urged the horse to run faster, and asked in a loud voice, "Yinyin, is the princess gone?" ”
"Not yet".
Xie Tan replied slightly, ran past her, Lan Jiu said, "Nineteen will only arrive in the middle of the night, I will let him sleep, wake up and rush back, please forgive the girl."
Qiu Xiyin nodded, urging the horse to run back.
When Xie Tanwei arrived, Feng Zhinan had already got on the horse, nodded at him when he saw him coming, and said, "You don't have to rush over."
Xie Tanwei was woken up by Lan Shijiu in the middle of the night, and rode a horse in the middle of the night before he arrived, Feng Zhinanfu said such a sentence when they met, his already bad face stinked even more, "I don't blame you!" Whoever goes out is not a few months in advance of the post, you said yesterday that you were going to leave today! ”
Feng Zhinan stopped talking, Xie Tanwei was angry and took out a bag from his sleeve pocket and threw it to her, "I don't have anything to give you, take it and string shoes!" ”
Feng Zhinan opened it and looked at it, but it was a bag of round Dongzhu the size of an adult's thumb.
She was silent and said, "Beads strung on shoes can hinder walking."
Xie Tanwei, "......"
At this moment, Qiu Xiyin came over on horseback, Xie Tan was slightly angry, and said loudly, "Yinyin, let Princess Chiyang see what is on your shoes!" ”
Qiu Xiyin looked down in confusion, what was on the shoes?
With her gaze, Feng Zhinan and Ning Shenzhidu subconsciously looked at her feet.
Ning Shenzhi's gaze immediately touched and turned his head, but Feng Zhinan didn't move.
Xie Tan was slightly relieved, "See, right?" There are also beads on Yinyin's shoes, and I haven't seen her fall while walking! Who doesn't have a pearl on their shoes? ”
Feng Zhinan was silent and threw the bag back to him, "I don't want it!" ”
Xie Tanwei, "......"
Sure enough, he who has never been angry with others will only be angry with her, and he will only be angry with her!
Feng Zhinan suddenly approached, his right hand brushed his face, Xie Tan was slightly startled, holding his breath and stiffening his body and not daring to move.
The next moment, he only felt a light on his head, Feng Zhinan's hand had been taken back, but there was an extra hairband in his hand, the crimson hairband was embroidered with silver thread with Duoduo Yutanbra, and the opal and grain rubouries were wrapped around the vein, like him with his black hair scattered at this time, gorgeous and flamboyant, it was the hairband that Qiu Xiyin gave him to match his clothes.
He couldn't wear clothes all the time, and he liked this headband so much that he wore it every day.
"I want this".
Feng Zhinan moved very quickly and stuffed the hairband into his arms, and left as soon as he hit the horse, Daxue and Xiaoxue hurriedly followed.
Xie Tan sighed slightly, wanted to catch up but stopped in despair, Qiu Xiyin pretended to be ignorant and said, "Little uncle, the princess likes that hairband, give it to the princess, and I will make a better one for you in the future."
Xie Tanwei didn't answer, and watched Feng Zhinan's back get farther and farther away, farther and farther away, until it became a black spot in the sky, until it could no longer be seen.
There seems to be something sad and clogged in his heart, it is normal, he said to himself, a character like Princess Chiyang always makes people can't help but feel close and admired, and has a good relationship with him, and now he is suddenly gone, he is reluctant, it is normal, normal......
……
……
Five years later, the grass grows when the warbler flies.
Xie Tanwei leaned over and washed his face with water, looked at the vast and fertile land in front of him, and said excitedly, "This is the Yellow River surrounded on three sides, and the so-called Hetao is also the Hetao!" ”
Three years ago, he turned twenty years old, and it took a lot of effort to finally let Xie Chang relax, and took Xie Jiashu and Qiu Xiyin on the road of travel.
They set out from Beijing, all the way to the south, through Kaifeng Mansion, Yingtian Mansion, Guangzhou Mansion, crossed the sea to the southernmost Qiongzhou Mansion, and then turned west through Yunnan, Duogandusi and other places and turned north, originally to Liangzhou Wei, where the Feng family is located, but did not want to go the wrong way, bypassing Liangzhou Wei, but first arrived at the Hetao.
Xie Tanwei said and got up and pointed to the mountain range in the distance, "That should be Helan Mountain, Helan Mountain, which I have read in books for decades, can finally see its true face today!" ”
Since he turned twenty years old, when he lamented his life, the "more than ten years" on his lips became "decades".
"Quick, old osprey, take out the Kanyu map, let's study how to play."
The old osprey is a deputy general that Ning Shenzhi found from the Shenji Battalion, and when he was young, he traveled all over the Great Xiao and was familiar with geography and local customs.
Talents like the old osprey, Ning Shenzhi sent more than a dozen, each with their own strengths, so that their journey was very safe and smooth.
But when it comes to security –
Qiu Xiyin glanced at Xie Tanwei, and also squatted down, collecting water to wash his face, the wind and sand in the north are strong, although most of them are in a carriage, there is always a feeling of being disgraced.
"The water is cold, next time I ask Xiujin to call you to heat it up and wash it again."
Xie Jiashu walked to her side, leaned over and handed over the handkerchief, five years have passed, he has grown into a handsome and elegant young man, his expression is indifferent, but the bottom of his deep eyes is full of tenderness, like a magnolia quietly blooming on the branches.
Qiu Xiyin took the handkerchief to wipe the water on his face, and was about to help his arm to get up, when the corner of his eye suddenly saw the water splashing into the sky, and the next moment his left arm was grabbed fiercely.
She was shocked and exclaimed, Xie Jiashu hurriedly took her into his arms, turned in front of her, and used his back to block between her and the man in black who broke through the water.
The blades intersected and shouted, the familiar sound of breaking wind in his ears rose, Qiu Xiyin's grip on her arm suddenly loosened, and the black-clothed man who was holding her arm fell down on his back, and a red feather arrow pierced his entire head on his forehead, and at this time, the arrow sticking out could be seen from behind.
Qiu Xiyin's eyes widened suddenly, and the sound of a heavy object falling into the water sounded, Xie Jiashu pressed her face into his arms, and ran away with her half-hugged.
The sound of breaking wind in his ears was fierce, and after a while, Xie Tan's slightly angry voice sounded, "Don't run!" It's all dead! ”
Xie Jia stood still, helped Qiu Xiyin to stand firmly, looked up and down, and made sure that she was okay before exhaling heavily, his fair face was full of frightened redness.
