Qiu Zhengshen held Qiu Xiyin's hand hanging at the head of the bed, "Yinyin, no matter what happens, you must remember that your surname is Qiu, and the Qiu clan and your father are standing behind you."

Qiu Xiyin's face was slightly cold, what rumors had Qiu Zhengshen heard?

Qiu Zhengshen let go of her hand and changed the topic, "Your mother is not here, it's always impossible to have no one in charge of the family, I've been looking for a daughter-in-law for your eldest brother recently, wait for you to get better, find a time to go home, give your eldest brother a palm, we are a big man in the room, this kind of fact can't be done."

The Qiu family now has no housewife in charge, Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Hua, it is estimated that Qiu Zhengshen is not at ease, and such a thing will naturally fall on her, Qiu Xiyin nodded and agreed.

Qiu Zhengshen said a few more words, and then said, "You brothers and sisters talk, I'll go out for a walk."

He should have been dizzy when he got up, stumbled a little, Xie Jiamian hurriedly helped him, he stood firm with Xie Jiamian's arm, waved his hand, and laughed at himself, "Old!" ”

He turned to Qiu Xiyin and said, "By the way, Yinyin, you can find an opportunity to help me mention it to King Ningjun, my body is not as good as before, and when I am often powerless, this position of the secretary of the Ministry of Works is really not suitable for me to do it anymore." I also mentioned it to the county king a few times, but the county king refused to let go."

He said that his gaze softened more and more, "I know what the king of the county means, but I don't want your mother's family to be helpless, but now that your eldest brother is also an adult, and Brother Mian is out again, it doesn't matter if I have it or not."

Qiu Xiyin's ups and downs because of his words all turned into anger, and he asked sharply, "So you are going to Wuhua'an to accompany your mother?" Then do you want me to ask the king of the county to build a monk temple next door to Wuhua Nunnery for you to practice? ”

Qiu Zhengshen smiled tolerantly, "That's not necessary, I'll just build a bamboo house nearby."

Qiu Xiyin can still remember the-for-tat confrontation between Qiu Zhengshen and Ning Shenzhi after the death of Xie Tanwei in his previous life, and once even scolded him in front of her for dictating and harming the country.

Ning Shenzhi didn't get angry, and only asked him if he was relying on himself to be his father-in-law, so he didn't dare to kill him.

Qiu Zhengshen replied at the time, "The husband will do something, he will do something, die for the country and the people, and die without regrets!" ”

Her father, like most scholars in the world, has a heart of "making a life for the people and opening peace for all generations", but now, he has given up pursuing his lifelong ideal for the sake of Xie!

Qiu Xiyin was shocked and angry, staring at Qiu Zhengshen and speechless, Qiu Zhengshen soothed and rubbed the black hair on the top of her head, smiled, and turned around and went out.

Xie Jiamian comforted in a low voice, "Yinyin, don't be angry, my uncle just can't think about it for a while, and the king of the county won't respond."

Qiu Xiyin didn't answer with a calm face, Xie Jiamian persuaded a few more words, and seeing that Qiu Xiyin was still silent, he sighed, "Forget it, I can't persuade you, I'll call my uncle to come."

Qiu Xiyin slowly controlled the surging emotions, glared at Xie Jiamian, and said to Qiu Buhe, "Big brother, you go out first, and I'll say a few words to my ninth cousin."

Qiu Buyan answered, but he refused to leave, Qiu Xiyin was a little curious, Xie Jiamian glanced at Qiu Buyan a few times, saw that he looked speechless, and said with a smile, "That's the case, my cousin's one-year time to watch politics in the Hanlin Academy is almost up, and he wants to ask for a release and do a county or something to exercise."

The king of the county knew that he had to agree with you first, and his cousin wanted to take this opportunity to talk to you.

Qiu Bu hurriedly continued, "Third sister, I didn't expect that the king of the county would not allow me to go out of Beijing, I will wait a little longer, if my father is a scholar, I will listen to the words of the king of the county and stay in the Hanlin Academy, if my father stays, I still want to go out for a few years, and I can help the king of the county when I come back."

Qiu Xiyin thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about me, even if my father-"

She paused at this point, and her face became even colder, "Don't think about it, I'm a deep girl, as long as the county king doesn't abandon me, I don't need you to stay in the capital, ninth cousin, you will remember to help the eldest brother plead with the county king for a while."

Xie Jiamian, "......"

How did it become his intercession?

"Okay, and-" Qiu Bu coughed with his lips, and his fair and handsome face flushed, "I want to go out, but the family affairs should be delayed for a few years, so as not to delay the girls to suffer with me."

Qiu Xiyin nodded indispensably, "You have discussed it with your father, and my father will not object."

Qiu Bu coughed again, leaned over and said, "Then I'll go out first, third sister, take care of your body, what is missing, send someone to find me."

Qiu Xiyin nodded, "Brother has a heart."

Xie Jiamian waited for Qiu Bu to go out, Fang took two steps forward and asked in a low voice, "Third sister, what's wrong with you and the county king?" ”

Qiu Xiyin's expression was cold, "You don't have to worry about this, you can help me send a message to Bai Feng."

"Third sister—"

Qiu Xiyin waved his hand, "Don't persuade me."

Xie Jiamian was helpless, "Okay, I don't advise you, but you have to know it yourself, and everything else is easy to say, don't break up with the king of the county because of some trivial things, or even a momentary anger."

Qiu Xiyin was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "How did you find out?" ”

"The king of the county invited me to stay for a few days, and asked me to ask if you want to go to Xie's house to stay for a few days, if you want to go, ask me to give you a trip."

Qiu Xiyin was silent for a while, and said, "You accompany me to Wuhua Nunnery."

"You're still sick".

"No problem".

……

……

Xie Shi was wearing a gray-brown monk's robe, and all the green silk was wrapped in a turban of the same color.

Qiu Xiyin first went to the incense and worshiped the Bodhisattva, and then went to see the Xie family, who was playing chess, and when he saw them coming, he glanced at Qiu Xiyin, then looked at Xie Jiamian, and asked, "Why did he come with you?" What happened to you and Ning Shenzhi? ”

Qiu Xiyin, "......"

Xie Shi glanced at her again, and said indifferently, "Ning Shenzhi is not as delicate as the eight-sided delicate one beside you, if you have any dissatisfaction, it is better to say it, otherwise, maybe you are half angry, and he doesn't know what you are angry about."

Qiu Xiyin immediately retorted, "Mother is too idle to worship the Buddha now?" Do you have the heart to meddle in my business? ”

Xie Shi is still the same appearance that is not salty or light, "not idle".

Qiu Xiyin somehow felt that her words were a little choking, and the fire in her heart became more and more vigorous, and she sneered, "Mother acted recklessly, and now you regret it?" ”

Xie Shi's eyebrows did not move, "Reckless? He dares to kill my daughter, why is it wrong for me to kill him? If it weren't for Ning Shenzhi's people coming too quickly, he would have gone underground to make amends to Sister Tan'er by this time."

Qiu Xiyin sneered, "I can't imagine that my mother is really sincere to Sister Yan'er."

"I didn't expect you to have a loyal and patriotic heart, and you want to fight for the prince."

Qiu Xiyin choked, Xie Shi raised his head and looked at her lightly, "I know you hate me, in fact, you don't have to, isn't it better for you to marry Ning Shenzhi now than to marry a half-blind man who is destined to have a short life?" ”

Qiu Xiyin's eyes instantly turned red, staring at her, "You still dare to say it!" It's not you, how could my cousin, how could it be! ”

"Mother and son repay the debt, I will never allow you to marry the son of the enemy who killed your sister."

Xie Shi said and his gaze fell back to the chessboard, "You guys go, you don't have to come to see me from time to time."

Qiu Xiyin gritted his teeth, "Do you know that my father came here to be a monk because you are going to resign!" ”

"Let it be".

Xie frowned slightly, his eyes were focused, his voice did not fluctuate at all, and he didn't even move a single trace of his hair, obviously devoting himself to the chess game.

This kind of concentration that is not disturbed by external objects is in Xie Tanwei and Xie Jiashu, in Xie Jiameng, and in herself, which is the unique infatuation and drilling nature in the bloodline of the Xie family.

However, at this time, she hated this kind of concentration, in her mother's eyes, not to mention her, even Qiu Zhengshen was afraid that it would not be as good as a game of chess under her hand, a painting in her eyes.

Qiu Xiyin tried hard to suppress her tumbling emotions, made a perfunctory salute, and turned to leave, she should never have had extravagant hopes for her so-called mother......

……

……

Xie Jiamian sent Qiu Xiyin back to the Ningjun Palace, originally to stay, but Qiu Xiyin was stubborn and refused, so he had to leave uneasily, saying that he would come to see her tomorrow.

Ning Shenzhi was not in the Zhizhi Pavilion, Yunwen came to see her with Chuanming, and Chuanming said that it was still the same old-fashioned, and only told her to relax her mind and not to be tired.

Qiu Xiyin nodded in response, Yunwen and Chuanming bowed and retreated, and did not open their mouths to mention where Ning Shenzhi had gone until they left.

Usually, if he didn't have time to tell her in person, Ning Shenzhi would definitely let Yunwen convey his whereabouts on his behalf, and he didn't forget it last time because of Ning Hengzhi's anger, this time......

Huizhong saw her in a daze, and cautiously called out to the princess of the county.

Qiu Xiyin came back to his senses, saw that it was her, and asked casually, "Why are you waiting?" What about Xiujin? ”

Huizhong is in charge of the affairs of her house, and the work of personal service is done by Xiujin and Ah You.

"The county princess said that the princess of the county is not feeling well these days, and I am afraid that Xiu will not serve well, so I ordered the slave to serve, and the princess of the county wants to serve Xiu Jin, and the slave and maid will call."

If it was in the previous life, Qiu Xiyin was only afraid that she would suspect Ning Shenzhi of interfering in the affairs of her house and indiscriminately instructing her maid, but at this time, she didn't want to go against his kindness, so she only said, "Help me remove the hairpin ring, and I'll lie down for a while."

Huizhong responded, looked at her face and said cautiously, "The county king went to Xie's alley, saying that he wanted to take Xie Xiaogongzi over to live for a few days, and then bring Dr. Pei over to the princess of the county to take a look."

Qiu Xiyin was silent and asked, "What did the county king say to you?" ”

Huizhong's hand shook and said with a reluctant smile, "The county princess asked the slave maid to pretend to talk and mention it to the princess of the county, if the princess of the county is unwilling to see Xiaogongzi Xie, she will quickly send someone to Xie's house to report the news."

Qiu Xiyin didn't know what it was like in his heart, so he was silent and let Huizhong lightly dismantle his bun.

Huizhong waited with bated breath for a while, and asked boldly, "Does the princess of the county want to thank the little princess?" ”

"I'm sick, don't give him too sick."

Huizhong sighed, Qiu Xiyin heard regret from it, she was regretting that Ning Shenzhi's behavior of wanting to please her had failed again.

The maids beside her also began to favor Ning Shenzhi.

Thinking like this, she didn't have much resistance in her heart, only a faint but non-negligible sadness lingered again.

"Princess Jun, where did this hairpin come from? It's the first time I've seen the princess of the county, and it's quite wild."

Huizhong said and put the hairpin in Qiu Xiyin's hand, "It's the first time that the slave has seen someone carve a red treasure into a gladiolus tweed."

Qiu Xiyin grabbed the hairpin that Huizhong put in the dressing box, and held it tightly, and his already pale face suddenly lost the last trace of blood.

"This hairpin is quite wild, Yan Yan'er is just right to wear——"

Ning Shenzhi stretched out his hand and pulled out the gladiolus hairpin on her bun, holding it horizontally in her mouth, in the mirror, she clearly saw the moment her green silk was scattered, the light in Ning Shenzhi's face and eyes because of amazement, and then Ning Shenzhi hugged her horizontally, and buried his face in her shoulder socket......

"Yan Yan'er, where is the wild hairpin? It's been a long time since I've seen you wear it."

"Dislike".

She heard herself answer stiffly.

Ning Shenzhi was silent for a long time, then raised his eyes to look at her, "I like it."

His eyes as deep as a still spring made her depressed and bored, with a faint fear in it.

"I accidentally broke it".

She heard her voice again, and she also remembered what happened next, after Ning Shenzhi left, she immediately found the hairpin and slammed it on the bluestone floor......

It turned out that he actually made it himself-

It turns out that in his previous life, he had also carved ornaments for her with love and for her?

What else did he make besides the hairpin?

Or did he never try to give her anything after she had been hurt by the hairpin, just as he had never tried to give her anything after she had killed the parrot he had sent......

"Yinyin, this man's heart is the same as a woman's heart, if he is really sad and cold, it will be too late for you to regret it-"

The words of the great grandmother are still in my ears, Qiu Xiyin is like falling into an ice cellar, and his whole body is so cold that he shiveres, Ning Shenzhi-

……

……

In the evening, Qiu Xiyin had a fever again, this time it was a high fever, Qiu Xiyin was a little confused after the fever, only to feel that Ning Shenzhi held her tightly in his arms and called her Yan Yan'er one after another, she felt angry and aggrieved for no reason, and pushed him hard, unwilling to ask him to hug.

I just don't know if she didn't have any strength at all during her illness, and the push she thought was not using enough strength at all, or Ning Shenzhi refused to let go of her, he always held her.

She pushed for a while and then lost her strength, and felt that Ning Shenzhi's body was very comfortable, so she simply let him hold it, and used the hot soles of her feet and palms to stick it to the skin of the fruit sauce, until the fever subsided in the early hours of the morning, and finally fell asleep.

After Qiu Xiyin woke up the next day, she was faced with almost the entire imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, and the eldest princess Rong and the eldest princess also came early in the morning, listening to all the imperial doctors' words are very consistent in saying that her mind is depressed, and the evil wind enters the body, only when she is unable to conceive a child for a long time, she can't help but be comforted, and turn her head and reprimand Ning Shen fiercely.

Ning Shenzhi had hardly closed his eyes in the past few days, looking more haggard than Qiu Xiyin, silently listening to the training of Rong and the eldest princess.
