Chapter 113: Stranger
On the carriage heading north, Qi Yunshu was a little uneasy, tossing and turning, and kept trying to ask Yun Rugui about Zhao Jing's presence in Baoning Mansion.
But Yun Rugui, who has always talked a lot, was as tight as a gourd with a sawed mouth this time, no matter how she talked, or even asked a direct question, he either pretended not to hear it, or pretended to be profound and went to see it.
As if to refute Qi Yunshu's previous words, anyway, she might think that what he says now is fake, so it is better for her to see for herself.
See what it is, and that's what it is!
The more Yun Rugui hid it like this, the more curious Qi Yunshu became, and along the way, a heart seemed to have been scratched by a cat's paw, and it was itchy and hard to scratch.
On weekdays, I think that the carriage of four or five hours is simply a long time at the moment.
At her urging, the carriage stopped at noon on the official road intersection and went on again.
At midnight in the afternoon, when the sun was already setting in the west, the two finally rushed to Boryeong Mansion in the dust.
Hearing the unfamiliar bustle, Qi Yunshu couldn't wait to lift the curtain to take a look, in the weaving flow of people, she only felt that a pair of eyes were almost not enough.
After all, this is the capital of Xiangchu Province, and the people who come and go are all dressed in brocade clothes, which shows that its life is indeed much better than that of the small southern town.
Poor Qi Yunshu has never been to such a prosperous place before, looking at the crowded and noisy street, the whole person was dazzled at once, and only looked at a sharp pavilion outside the heavy eaves in a daze, with a yearning face.
Seeing her revealing a girlish and delicate appearance, Yun Rugui couldn't help but be stunned, the woman in front of her had a delicate face, picturesque eyebrows, clear and flawless eyes, like mutton fat and white jade, no need to carve, that temperament is already yearning.
"Is this Boryeong?" Qi Yunshu looked at the regressing street scene and the antique store flags, restrained the excitement in her eyes, and couldn't help but be curious about this place.
Yun Rugui saw that she was interested, so he approached her and introduced her to her.
"Baoning Mansion in Xiangchu Province is bordered by Dongxing Lake in the north, Yunhua Mountain in the west, Southeast Plain in the south, Qingyun Mountain in the east, and the Linyun River passes through the province!"
Qi Yunshu couldn't help nodding when she heard this, this statement was not new, after all, she had read the local chronicles of Xiangchu Province a long time ago, and what Yun Rugui said was completely no different from what was introduced in the book.
She pouted and asked him to say something fresh.
Yun Rugui shook his head and took her hand, led her to the right side of the carriage, opened the curtain of the window over there, and pointed to a tall pavilion over there, this is the Wangjiang Tower standing next to the Dongxing Lake by the Linyun River, about three zhang high, in the place where the cloud is steaming, if there is a momentum of rushing to the sky, people are in it as if they are placed in the clouds.
"If you like it, I'll take you up for a swim when it's over!"
Qi Yunshu didn't speak, neither refused nor agreed.
Because she knew very well in her heart that if she could find Zhao Jing this time, then she would go to Linjiang Tower, and she would be accompanied by Zhao Jing.
If she didn't find Zhao Jing, what mood would she be in to do that thing?
Yun Rugui saw that she suddenly lost interest, so she also stopped the topic in time, pointed to a majestic archway in front of the carriage and said: "This is called Biluo Street, which is the main street of Boryeong Mansion, and the place we are going to is in front!" β
As the words fell, the carriage had to move forward and stopped in front of a large two-story shop.
Yun Rugui was the first to jump out of the carriage, originally wanting to reach out to lead Yun Shu out of the carriage, but saw her jump down from the other side.
"Why are you in such a hurry, be careful of falling!" Yun Rugui is a thin reproach.
Qi Yunshu didn't refute, her eyes were already attracted by a familiar figure on the lively street.
He was wearing a Shu brocade dark jacquard moon white round neck straight jacket, embroidered with bat patterns on the neck and sleeves, his waist and back were straight, and he stood energetically with his hands in his hands, wearing a golden crown, and he looked like a noble son of a big family.
"Zhao Jing?" Qi Yunshu looked at the familiar silhouette, unfamiliar dress, stood in place and muttered a sentence with some hesitation.
The two of them were not far away, but they were more than two feet, and as long as the volume was a little louder, they could alarm him.
But Qi Yunshu didn't know why, in the face of such an unexpected Zhao Jing, she didn't dare to come forward to recognize her.
Standing in place, until her legs were a little sore, she blinked her eyes and called softly: "Zhao Jing!" β
The slender and straight figure seemed to hear it, and its eyes turned from the firmly locked door of the neon fashion shop.
Turning around slowly, as if he was about to see Qi Yunshu, he suddenly stopped just as he was about to fall on her.
A goose-yellow figure ran out of the shop, she looked sixteen or seventeen years old, but her figure was slender, convex and backward, and her figure was excellent.
She smiled, and her beautiful face was illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun, as if it gave birth to infinite light.
She is so beautiful, and her facial features are so delicate that Qi Yunshu can't help but sigh that Fairy Chang'e is nothing more than that!
Especially when she laughs, there are two deep dimples on her cheeks, which are more feminine than the two shallow pear vortices on her side face.
She walked past the familiar figure, then smiled and called in a low voice: "Brother Rong'......"
Qi Yunshu's mood of appreciating the beauty fell suddenly.
He...... That man turned out to be Zhao Jing, his surname was Zhao Mingjing, and his name was Rongzhi.
All the uncertainty in Qi Yunshu's original heart was marked with certainty at this moment, but because of the fairy-looking woman who grabbed Zhao Jing's right arm, something suddenly shattered, and with a "bang", her heart seemed to be filled with broken glass all of a sudden, and it hurt her everywhere!
Her eyes blackened for a while, and her body fell down as soon as she went limp.
"Yun Niang!" Yun Rugui had been paying attention to Zhao Jing's changes since he saw her in her gaze, and when he saw her like this, he immediately reached out and grabbed her, helped her into the carriage, poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to her.
Qi Yunshu's head was dizzy, but her consciousness was sober, she knew that she had found Zhao Jing, but Zhao Jing was no longer the Zhao Jing she used to be.
"The man...... Who is that person? She felt that her heart and mouth were full of bitterness, but she couldn't help but wonder where the girl who was so beautiful came from and what was the origin?
"Xia Xiangjun, nicknamed Panpan, seventeen years old, from the capital, the granddaughter of the current crown prince Xia Wenzhong, her father Xia Daming is a first-class marquis, both civil and military, and she is Xia Daming's eldest daughter, a first-class famous lady in the capital."
She ...... Seventeen, never married? β
"Naturally not, there was a fiancΓ© who was the right person before, but the young man died, and she delayed the flowering period because of her grandmother's filial piety three years ago, and it has been delayed so far, if Zhao Jing can be lifted this time, enter the capital, one is a Jinshi, one is a famous daughter who is getting older, and the other is a Jinshi and the first, rounding up is also a good match!" Yun Rugui said with a sigh of praise in his mouth.
Qi Yunshu listened as if a mouthful of mud had been stuffed into her mouth.
Although she repeatedly told herself that she didn't love Zhao Jing, and that she and him were just an arranged wedding between the original owner and him, but after all, she used to be a man who belonged to the original owner, and now she is so close to other women like that, she is not a saint, how can she really be without guilt.
At this moment, her heart was very painful, and she was so sad that it was enough to make her so depressed that she no longer had the strength to stand up.
She was sad and didn't want to see this scene again, but she didn't want to look away, looking at Zhao Jing's hands, where she was wearing the Buddha beads she had specially asked for him in the Liuyun Temple in Liuyun Mountain, among which there was a most precious Buddha relic in it, although I didn't know why the master only needed ten taels of silver, but it didn't prevent the previous Zhao Jing from treating it as a treasure-like object, and he always carried it on his wrist.
And when he came to Boryeong Mansion before leaving, he joked that because Yun Niang couldn't accompany him to participate in the township test, he took the beads with her breath, and he was treated as if she was accompanying him!
Listen to what touching words these are, leaving Zhao Jing's sick body and his straight back when he bent at that time, he is actually a very considerate person.
Words and deeds make people feel like a spring breeze.
Especially in front of Qi Yunshu, as if he would never get angry and scold people, he was always as warm as jade, as warm as the warm sun in early summer.
However, the man still looks like a spring breeze, but unfortunately the object has long been replaced by another woman.
The two of them didn't know what the relationship was, but the woman was very close to him in public, and even several times she saw Xia Xiangjun holding Zhao Jin's arm, just like she always did.
Under this action, Qi Yunshu also clearly saw that Zhao Jin was not wearing the string of Buddhist beads that made her heart miss on her wrist.
But on that waist, there was a white jade pendant inlaid with obsidian that Xia Xiangjun personally tied to him after he came out of the neon dress workshop.
Obsidian is actually not a very precious material, but this piece is exquisitely carved and looks very valuable.
Qi Yunshu looked at it, she was a little strange, she suddenly saw so clearly, she looked up at Yun Rugui, only to find that in addition to her excellent eyesight, this eldest young master didn't know when he actually ordered Xiaohe, who was driving the carriage, to sneak the carriage away from them only seven or eight steps away.
But because they were sheltered by the carriage, they did a good job of blocking their gaze.
However, this situation did not last long, and soon someone discovered their carriage, and immediately Xia Xiangjun's family came to drive them away.
It's a big shelf.
Qi Yunshu recuperated for a while, drank hot tea again, felt that his body had recovered a little, and stood up and wanted to jump out of the carriage to find Zhao Jing to ask for a clear understanding.
Seeing her sudden movements, Yun Rugui was looking at the pair of men and women not far in front of him talking intimately, and he was happy in his heart, as the so-called "if you don't die, you won't die", Zhao Jing is now like this famous daughter from the capital, and the relationship between the two must be very close, so his eyes just turned to Yun Niang, but when he saw that she was about to rush down, he hurriedly moved his big hand, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back to sit beside him:
"Yun Niang, what are you going to do?"
After Qi Yunshu was sad and angry, she had already controlled her emotions and said calmly: "I'm going down to ask him, what is the relationship between that woman and him?" β
I also want to ask him whether he cheated to death in the post house or was he really hurt. And does the thing he promised her still count?
Qi Yunshu thought about asking Zhao Jing a lot of questions, but none of them were related to their relationship as husband and wife.
When she saw that they were a man and a woman, the men were handsome and the women were beautiful, she had already decided to let go and fulfill!
She told herself that she didn't love anyway, as long as he kept his promise and brought her to the capital, they would return to the bridge!
