Chapter 267: Sharp-tongued
"Impossible."
Qin Jie's heart had actually made the worst plan, and he didn't react for a moment when he heard Ruan Miaoling say 'no possibility', and didn't react for a moment whether she was saying that there was no possibility of continuing the relationship between herself and Xu Yuan, or that he and her, her bright eyes were not as bright as if they were fixed.
However, since he was a child, he had learned to be active in the battlefield and the barracks, and he had to be vigilant at all times, and soon Qin Jie came back to his senses and chewed Ruan Miaoling's words carefully, and he was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Ruan Miaoling tilted her neck sideways to look at Qin Jie.
The soft dark green wicker is supposed to soften, and a big man with a beard and eyebrows can also give birth to a point or two of gentleness, but he is different, standing there and out of place with his surroundings, there is a fine glow on his knife-like hard face, and she feels that those shining spots of light are a little cold.
Ruan Miaoling's mind moved, and she asked something she didn't expect.
"In the middle of summer, if Brother Qin is thirsty when he goes home, there must be someone kind to hand you tea to wipe your sweat, right?"
After asking, I didn't feel anything wrong except that I was a little uncomfortable.
It was Qin Jie's first provocation.
She heard Xu Yuan say that the nine sons of the Qin family have all started a family, but Qin Jie, who has survived for seven or eight years, has always refused to accept his parents' wishes and choose a daughter-in-law who is passable and has good appearance. The governor's office of the five armies is strict in governing the army, and there is no rumor on weekdays, but it is another matter elsewhere.
Qin Jie's twenty-three this year, if he is the son of another family, he may have a pair of children, but there is no wife in the main room by his side.
Ruan Miaoling, who is married, is not as simple as the girl's family who is still in the boudoir, holding her face full of hope that there is not a single room in the room of her future husband. In her previous life, if it weren't for Xu Yuan's weak temperament, coupled with the hardships she suffered from Ruan Miaoyi, she would have been very indifferent to the affairs of husband and wife, but she would have been busy.
"I don't live much time at home, there are a few maids in the room, I don't know very well, usually they only do the idle work of sweeping the kang and making the bed, dressing and bathing, I am used to it in the army, I don't like to give them a fake hand."
Qin Jie's explanation was very honest.
Ruan Miaoling nodded silently, there is only this one thing that can ask Qin Jie, and the next things have always been in accordance with the words of the matchmaker according to the orders of her parents.
"You haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, do you have any places you want to go, such as Tanzhe Temple and Baiyun Temple?" Qin Jie's natural turn to play.
Ruan Miaoling's tense shoulders loosened slightly, these two places she planned to go to last time she came to the capital, who wanted to slander Miss Jiang at the banquet, she never went again.
It wasn't until Xu Yuan donated the official that the Xu family moved to the capital, Ruan Miaoyi saw that everything was fresh and wanted to take her along, but there were other ladies and ladies at that time, and she couldn't excuse herself, so she went to go shopping casually, which was very boring.
"There are people coming and going, I think it's good here, the willows are still around, by the Drinking Horse River, we can talk freely, it's rare."
Ever since she heard the conversation between Princess Baozhen and King Chengping that day, she vaguely felt that time was running out to enjoy her life.
Princess Baozhen is a good character, but whenever she starts to do something, it is like an open bow shooting an arrow, and she will never look back.
Gu Ren returned to Beijing to report on his work, just in time, Ruan Miaoling went out to Princess Baozhen's house, Princess Baozhen and Gu Ren both looked heavy, and the moment she entered the door, the two voices immediately stopped, obviously not wanting her to hear what was being discussed.
Qin Jie seemed to have thought of something important, took out an invitation from the front placket, and said ashamedly: "I just cared about drinking tea in the front hall, and forgot about what my mother explained." My mother wants to invite you and her sister Ming'er to sit at home and talk about family life. ”
"Since it is Mrs. Qin's kind invitation, my mother and I will definitely go, and when the time comes, Brother Qin, don't be stingy and don't give me tea to quench your thirst!"
Ruan Miaoling smiled and quipped.
Qin Jie saw that she finally had joy on her face, and thought that he had sent Xiao Maruki to her before, originally to relieve her boredom, who thought that Xiao Maruki would not be angry, and he would be repatriated after only one day.
When Huang Ba sent it, although he only said that Xiao Maruki liked to be quiet, and Ruan Miaoling's yard raised rabbit larks, and he had a big voice, Xiao Maruki was not suitable and sent it back.
Qin Jie knows the cat temper of Xiao Maruki, and it is a lie to like quiet, it flutters butterflies on the tree in his yard, and the sorrowful cries of a few maids who are waiting for him are repeated, and he guesses that he must have caused trouble with Ruan Miaoling and was disgusted.
"Xiao Maruko has caused you trouble, next time I will change to a good-tempered one for you, how about it?"
"Ah, if you don't say I'm almost forgetting." Ruan Miaoling took out the bell that had fallen before Xiao Maruko from her purse, "Don't bother, I have already raised fruit in my yard right now, if Xiao Maruko comes, I will definitely fight with Guozi." ”
Seeing that Qin Jie was puzzled, he probably didn't know what the fruit was, so he explained with a smile: "The fruit is a black dog I raised, and I only got it after Xiao Maruko went home." However, the fruit is not as good as a small ball, if the two are raised in one place, if there is a mess, when the fruit is bigger, it can be sent as a companion. ”
Ruan Miaoling hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, so she borrowed Qin Jie's mount and ran along the river for a while, and Runxiang looked at it intently in fright, for fear that the horse's temperament would fall off the young lady.
Qin Jie looked at Ruan Miaoling's galloping figure from a distance and asked Runxiang: "I heard that your young lady's dog is very well-behaved, where did you buy it, and I will buy one too." ”
Runxiang was not here, the words came to her ears, and she had already replied: "The slave doesn't know where to buy it, the fruit was sent by Xu Xiushu, and the young lady likes it very much!" ”
It was hot, and Runxiang didn't dare to let Ruan Miaoling stay under the sun for too long, so she persuaded her to stop after riding a cup of tea.
Ruan Miaoling was sweating behind her back, and her clothes were clinging to her skin, so she had prepared an extra set of clothes when she went out.
Runxiang got into the carriage and waited for Ruan Miaoling to change her clothes, and when she came out, she happened to see Qin Jie talking to someone not far away, and hurriedly turned around and asked Ruan Miaoling to look.
"Stinky girl, you didn't even say hello when you saw me, and she was stuffy in the carriage on a hot day!"
As soon as Ruan Miaoling heard this voice, she looked at it carefully, except for Dongfang Liang, who has recently made a fortune with her mouth, who else would dare to call her a 'stinky girl'.
She didn't go over, Dongfang Liang came over by herself, and on the mule behind her sat a person with his head buried very low, and he was wearing a hat, Dongfang Liang came forward to block her sight, blowing his beard and glaring.
"I didn't know how to say hello when I saw the master, I gave you the silver for nothing! White-eyed wolf with no conscience......"
Ruan Miaoling replied: "I didn't ask you to give me silver, and you really spent that silver for me?" I'm afraid that I'm deliberately angry with me under the banner, besides, what kind of apprentice is the apprentice who didn't kowtow to tea? ”
