Chapter 055: The county lord's unwillingness

The county lord of Anping got off the horse, took his robe and entered the Huaiqing Palace, and the little guy at the door handed a letter to the county lord, looking at Qi Qiaorong's familiar three words. She tore open the envelope, shook the letter paper, and looked at it.

Zhong Mingjun and Qi Jingyan are engaged.

"What?"

A tiger roared through the mountains and forests, and a small guy hurriedly ran up: "County Lord, what's wrong?" Is there something to tell the little one? ”

The county lord of Anping looked at the letter in disbelief: "You...... Can you know that Zhong Mingjun is married to someone? ”

"I don't know about this little one, but I heard that Zhong Gongzi sent someone to the Qi family in Lingchuan Mansion to say goodbye, but as for saying that it didn't happen, I don't know. But according to the Zhong family's family, this eighty percent is done. ”

The county lord of Anping only felt that his eyes were black, and he fell to the ground with a "tom".

When she woke up, she was already in the house. She read the letter in her hand three times, and listened to Qi Qiaorong's tone, which was a certainty.

How so? Could it be that she rushed back in such a hurry to hear such bad news?

Zhong Mingjun, how could he, without making it clear to her, he went to propose to another woman, how could he be.

There was a knock on the door, and the maid pushed the door in: "County Lord, Xie Fanghua, the girl of the Xie family, brought a message and asked the county lord to go and see her." ”

The county lord of Anping frowned: "What is her identity?" Why should I go to see her? What, did the Xie family still keep her alive? She provoked such a thing, and dared me to see it, was she afraid that I would not be able to get involved in her sass? Tell her it's gone! ”

At this time, the county lord was angry, and there was nowhere to spill, and she happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

The maid shrank in fright: "Miss Xie also said that if the county lord refused to see her, she would send the county lord a word." ”

"What?"

"Look at me, you look at you again, you might as well look at Zhong Mingjun again, Qi Jingyan."

The face of the county lord of Anping changed greatly, Xie Fanghua had something to corrupt the door, she was already a little surprised, with Xie Fanghua's ghostly nature, even if it was stealing people, how could her in-laws catch it? It's a coincidence.

And her house was suddenly haunted, and she was so frightened that she went insane, and it took her a long time to recover, and now she has nightmares from time to time, and it all started from that incident.

It's him, it's him, it's all he does.

I couldn't believe it, her belly full of joy looked like a farce. How could she be willing, she was going to ask for clarification.

"The county lord... Princess...... Where are you going? You haven't drunk this medicine yet? ”

When the county lord of Anping rushed to Zhongfu angrily, Zhong Mingjun was sitting in the Baihua Pavilion, looking at the chess game, playing chess alone, although it was a cold winter wax moon, but the flowers around him were blooming just right, a beauty was making tea, a beauty was playing the lyre on the side, and the little girl stood motionless behind him.

"Zhong Mingjunβ€”"

Zhong Mingjun continued to flip through the book: "Oh, Anping, why is it so angry? ”

"Bengu asked you, why did you do this to Hongu?"

Zhong Mingjun didn't speak, just pinched the chess pieces, looked at the chessboard seriously, and pondered where to land.

The little guy behind him raised a finger to the county lord's "shhhh

The county lord of Anping went up and overturned the chessboard: "Now, do you have time to talk to the palace?" ”

The chessboard jumped up, the chess pieces splashed, the little guy opened an umbrella in time to block Zhong Mingjun's face, no chess piece hurt him, Zhong Mingjun turned his head slightly, and the well-trained guy took the umbrella and changed it to a chessboard, and resumed the chess path just now.

"I don't know where the county lord wants to come today?"

Compared with his light clouds, the impatience of the county lord of Anping made her feel an indescribable sense of powerlessness from the inside out.

The county lord of Anping roared: "What is inferior to her in this palace? She is nothing more than the daughter of a seven-pin county order. ”

Zhong Mingjun hooked his lips and smiled: "Then I am just the son of a four-rank prefect, how can I be worthy of the county lord of the golden branches and jade leaves." ”

"Why are you being presumptuous? I said you can, you can. The county lord of Anping pointed at him, tears shining in his eyes.

Zhong Mingjun looked back at her: "Coincidentally, I think so too." ”

The county lord suddenly stepped back, and that sentence seemed to pierce her heart.

"So you're pretending to be a ghost to scare me for her?"

"Childe, the tea is ready."

Zhong Mingjun took the teacup, sniffed the aroma, nodded with satisfaction, and put it back again.

"Anping, where do I have such a ability? But I have heard that only people with weak hearts can see ghosts, so it can be seen that only by doing less bad things can they not be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. ”

Knowing the truth, but still asking, this result is not obvious. Her tears flowed down her face, and the county lord of Anping raised her head, endured the grievances in her heart, and suppressed her crying voice.

"Okay, what about Xie Fanghua? Xie Fanghua, is it you? How can you harm a woman's innocence for her. ”

Zhong Mingjun laughed: "Hey, did you hear that?" The county lord said that Miss Xie had ruined her innocence, and I was to blame. Did I tell her to disobey women's morals and mingle with others? Anping, you can't just rely on being the county lord to open your mouth. ”

The little guy on the side echoed: "That's it, you can't talk nonsense, how can my young master have such idle time." ”

The county lord of Anping slapped the table with both hands: "You still don't admit it, I know you did it, don't you just want to vent for her?" ”

"My young master never stands up for others, it's just that others respect the young master, and the young master returns him three points." The little guy replied to the side, and Zhong Mingjun drank tea calmly.

The county lord of Anping gave the little guy a backhand slap: "How can you intervene here?" ”

"Forgive me, the county lord, it's the slave who is too talkative."

Zhong Mingjun put down the teacup and looked at her for a long time: "Anping walked from the capital and saw the world, this temperament is very different from the past, it is simply eye-opening." ”

The maid who was cooking behind him laughed out loud. Anping felt the humiliation, and she felt as if she had never known him.

"So you proposed to her, what about me? What about the reply you said you would give me? Is that your answer? ”

Zhong Mingjun tilted his head and looked curious: "Isn't this clear enough?" ”

"What the hell am I inferior to her? Is she not as good-looking as her, or is she not good-looking, or is she not good-looking, or is her family background not good? What's wrong with me? You tell me I can change it. The county lord of Anping roared hysterically, looking extravagantly. He was clearly in front of her, but it made her feel endless impossibility.

Zhong Mingjun patted her on the shoulder: "Anping, you are very good, you don't need to make changes for anyone." There must be someone who happens to like you as a woman, but ...... That person wasn't me. ”

"Why? Is it because of Qi Jingyan, is she seducing you? Did she speak ill of me to you? ”

"Anping, when will you understand that this is a matter between me and you? Why do you want to involve a third person, whether the third person exists or not, it does not affect the outcome between you and me. ”

…… In an instant, all the obsessions of the county lord of Anping collapsed. It turned out that he and she couldn't, why? Why is that?

"Zhong Mingjun, have you ever loved me?"

The county lord of Anping was already in tears, and he almost choked up to say this.

Zhong Mingjun stared at her very seriously, and said slowly: "Loved...... Love and protect like a sister, and even in the future. ”

The eyes of the county lord of Anping were full of hope and surprise for a moment, but then they turned into despair, and she broke down and hugged her head, fell to the ground, and began to cry.

"Why? Why are you doing this to me? For your sake, I pushed away all the marriages of the minister's family. For you, I fled back from the capital alone, so far, so terrible, but for you, I endured it...... How can you do this to me......"

He looked at it condescendingly and shook his head contemptuously: "This is what you have to do, and I didn't ask you to do it." ”

"You ......"

Zhong Mingjun left, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, the beauty left, the little girl left, and she was the only one left in the Baihua Pavilion to cry loudly, crying heartbroken, crying darkly.

The little guy rubbed his face, although this drama is often staged, but this time, his play is a bit heavy. "Young master, look at you, you have caused a romantic debt, and I have been slapped in the face, not only do I have a toothache, but my face is half swollen."

Zhong Mingjun said helplessly: "This time you have wronged your young master, but I didn't even provoke her." I don't know, where did she get so much confidence? When I open my mouth, I say, 'Have you ever loved me?' I really ...... Girl's family, don't read those useless words in this booklet, I really think that I can compose a song by catching a young master, you are thick and I have become a butterfly? You go, go now, and I will accept Zhong Chanyu's words, lest she just have a brain and poison other men. ”

When the little girl heard this, her teeth didn't hurt anymore, her face didn't swell, and her whole person was in good spirits: "Young master...... Am I saying the wrong thing? Don't you, punish me like this, what kind of temper does Miss Six have, I dare...... Young master, young master, don't go......"

---

When King Huaiqing returned to the palace, the county lord of Anping had been making trouble without eating or drinking for seven or eight days, and he washed his face with tears all day long.

I heard that he was sent back to the house by the Zhong family crying, and Zhong Mingjun also left a letter of apology for this, which is nothing more than Qi Dafei.

His poor daughter was infatuated. But the emotions in this world, where can be said to be right or wrong, liking is a person's business, but love is two people, but it is fate.

The lord of Anping County was lying on the couch on his side, his little face was sallow and sallow, and tears were falling silently, and King Huaiqing was sitting beside her.

"Yao'er, what's there to cry about. If you cry and hurt your body, he won't feel sorry for you. On the contrary, it worries your father and your mother, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your mother. ”

The lord of Anping County flattened his mouth, like a helpless child: "Father, where am I wrong?" He doesn't like me? ”

"Silly boy, what's so bad about that? You are the best in the eyes of your father. He doesn't like you, it's because he has no vision, it's because he's blind, our Yao'er is so beautiful, there will definitely be other people who like you. ”

"But what if I only like him?"

King Huaiqing patted her on the back and coaxed her seriously: "Child, you are still young, and you will know in the future that since you can like him, you will definitely be able to like others." If he doesn't fit, don't think about it, barely it won't end well. ”

"Father... I'm so sad...... I felt like I was going to die. ”

King Huaiqing said helplessly: "If you continue like this, don't eat or drink, don't say you think, I think you are about to die." Yao'er is obedient, she has to be obedient, and she may miss him when she encounters ups and downs in life. You will meet someone you love more than him, but if you give up your life now, then none of this will matter to you in the future. ”

The county lord of Anping wiped his tears and nodded. Yes, you will definitely meet someone you love more. In fact, she has thought about it these days, she can't figure out why, but she feels that she doesn't have to, because he took his life.

King Huaiqing stared at her and ate: "Yao'er, do you remember the Fu Gongzi that your father mentioned to you in the capital?" ”

The county lord of Anping ate white porridge tastelessly: "Remember, the eldest son of the Jingzhao Yin family, Fu Yifan." ”

"He followed his father to Zezhou."

The county lord of Anping said annoyedly: "What is he here to do?" ”

"Come and see you."

"I don't see it." The lord of Anping County pushed the bowl, a little angry.

"Why not? People come all the way to see you, and they naturally like you very much, so they don't even give you a chance to come here. You know the pain of being rejected, so why bother to reject others. Why don't you be more generous, see you first, anyway, it is impossible for you and Zhong Mingjun. ”

"I ......" Lord Anping couldn't speak, yes. Why can't she see her? People came from afar.

The county lord of Anping raised himself at home for a few days, and his mood was not as lost as before, so he was willing to see Fu Yifan.

On that day, I bypassed the weeping flower gate, dressed in white and snow, standing in front of a few spring plums, the long hair as soft as black jade was tied up with snow-white ribbons, half draped, half bundled, graceful and noble. He noticed that someone was coming, and half looked back, his narrow eyes were like gurgling spring water, warm as a spring breeze: "Your Highness? ”

An Ping was stunned for a moment, this son was so good-looking.

"Your Highness, are your bones better? Look, it's a lot thinner than the last time. ”

The county lord of Anping came back to his senses and remembered that his father had said that she was tired and sick from the journey, and she couldn't see her for the time being, so she prevaricated for the time being.

"It's much better to have Mr. Lao worried."

Fu Yifan's tone was full of admiration and appreciation: "His Royal Highness can return to Zezhou from the capital alone, whether it is wisdom or courage, it is admired by Xiaosheng." When I heard the news for the first time, I was startled, so I thought about coming along, Xu is able to help, and Xiao Sheng was relieved to learn that His Highness had arrived safely. ”

The county lord of Anping was a little uncomfortable by his praise: "No, I'm just ignorant, running blindly, in fact, I'm frightened." ”

"Your Highness is really a man of temperament, there is one to say, and two to say."

The county lord of Anping blushed unconsciously, there had never been a man who praised her so sincerely, and she felt a trace of sweetness in her heart.

For half a month, the two talked happily, from poetry and poetry to life philosophy, from childhood anecdotes to post-marriage prospects.

Even King Huaiqing felt that a good thing was coming, and Anping could be regarded as enlightened this time, and he didn't give up, and he hit the south wall headlong.

And all this, with the appearance of Zhong Mingjun, was disrupted.

The wind and the sun were beautiful, and the two were walking on the bank of the Qingyang River, when they bumped into Zhong Mingjun and his party, who were singing happily.

"Yo, Anping, who is this son?"

Fu Yifan glanced at the county lord and respectfully saluted a few people: "Under Fu Yifan, a person from the capital, dare to ask what Brother Tai is called?" ”

Zhong Mingjun returned the salute, and when he heard this person in the capital, he knew in his heart, isn't this the husband that King Huaiqing is looking for for the county lord? has a general direction, and if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is indeed a high-ranking official surnamed Fu.

"In Xia Zhong Mingjun, the eldest son of the prefect of Zezhou, dare to ask Lord Jingzhao Yin Fu what is the relationship between his brother Tai?"

"It's really my father."

Zhong Mingjun hurriedly invited: "Oh, it turned out to be the son of Master Fu, and I have been looking up for a long time." It's better to meet than to meet by chance, and Fu Gongzi is not as good as us getting together together. ”

Fu Yifan turned his head to look at the county lord of Anping and asked for her opinion, and saw that her face was quite displeased, so he waved his hand and excused himself: "I am free another day, I will visit the mansion since then, and I will invite my brother to ask for it without disturbing it, and there is a beautiful woman invited today, which is inconvenient." ”

"How can you bother, if you come, I will do my best as a landlord."

The two left after greeting, and someone around them asked Zhong Mingjun: "Who is this person?" ”

"He? Who else can there be, the fiancΓ© of the county lord. The voice was not loud, but it happened to let her hear it, her face couldn't hang up, and she always felt that the words were full of mockery, ridiculing her for crying to death last time, and he had to make a new love in a blink of an eye.

When the county lord of Anping saw him, he felt extremely sour, but after listening to what he said, he felt extremely harsh. Although Fu Yifan is a better choice, she is dead, but this does not mean that she is willing.

She hated his ruthlessness, and hated his ruthlessness, the devil hidden in her heart who was wantonly doing so.

"If you don't let me get what I want, then I won't let youβ€”get what you want!"

Qi Jingyan sat at home embroidering, and poked the needle on his finger without paying attention: "Oops~"

Qingmiao accompanied the embroidery on the side: "Yo~ My young lady, you have been pierced ten times today, you don't hurt, I look at it and it hurts, it's not the first day of embroidery, don't think nonsense, concentrate." ”

Qi Jingyan said stiffly: "Which eye of yours saw that I was inattentive?" ”

…… Qingmiao couldn't bear to tear it down, but after thinking about it, she still told the truth: "Miss, just take a look, what are you embroidering?" Can you still tell it's a mandarin duck? Not to mention the mandarin duck, even the water duck, I don't dare to recognize it. ”

…… Qi Jingyan put the needlework basket away, put it aside, and lay on the bed with self-abandonment, what kind of embroidery did she have?

The little maid entered the outhouse and called: "Sister Qingmiao, the porter said that this is a letter from the Zezhou Royal Mansion to the young lady, and the little maid in the palace is still waiting, waiting for a reply." ”

Qingmiao bypassed the deuce, went out from the back room to get the letter, and muttered unconsciously: "It's strange, why did the palace send a letter to Miss." ”

The little maid added: "I heard that I also sent it to the second lady." ”

Qi Jingyan had a bad premonition, and when he opened it, he saw that the county lord actually invited them to enjoy the flowers the day after tomorrow.

"Miss, are you going?"

Qi Jingyan slapped the letter on the table: "Where is this to enjoy the flowers?" This is the Hongmen Banquet. ”

Qingmiao was anxious: "Then what can Miss do?" ”

"I saw that the county lord came back from the capital to celebrate his birthday, and eighty percent knew about Zhong Mingjun's door-to-door proposal, which was to make a knife on me. What to do? What to do? Of course, it's dragging on. ”

Qi Jingyan thought about the bottom of the dark well, and couldn't help but tremble, she couldn't help but be in the middle, they were innocent little girls, and she definitely couldn't go to this Hongmen banquet.

"Of course it's best not to go, I still panic when I think of the last time, but if we push, will it refute the county lord's face." Beanstooth was a little worried.

"So, we have to think of a way, it's not that we don't go, we really can't go."

Qi Jingyan and Qingmiao thought for a while, and the two looked at each other: "Pretending to be sick!" ”

"What kind of illness can you pretend to be sick, can you not go? Dress it lightly, people say you are extravagant and hypocritical, or you should pretend to be heavy. ”

Qi Jingyan patted his chest: "Don't worry, it's okay to be sick with typhoid fever, smallpox or something." ”

Qingmiao was worried: "Don't be, this illness is too serious." How can I go to see Mr. Zhong at the beginning of March, I see that there are only a few days to go. ”

"That's right, then it's cold, it's cold, you don't wear much, and you occasionally feel cold, you go and reply to me."

Qingmiao went out in response, and after a while, Qingmiao hurriedly ran back,

"Miss, I'm afraid it's not okay to pretend to be sick, this palace has also sent a doctor, what do you say about this?"

……

Qi Jingyan bit her nails, is there any way to make her go?

"Oh, there is. It was said that I had knocked over the ancestral tablet, and my father was very angry and punished me for kneeling in the ancestral hall to think about it, and for a while, I couldn't go out, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to go to this flower-viewing banquet. You go and say, I'm going to make a confession with my dad right now. ”

"But the old man went to patrol the river, and now he is not in the house. Miss might as well be like this, you write down these words and let the little servant pass them on to the county lord. Let's not tell the truth if we don't go or not. Such a small guy can make a difference, and it won't embarrass us. In the evening, we are discussing with the master. ”

"Okay!"

Qi Jingyan was a fake show, and spent the night in the ancestral hall as cold as an ice cellar.

And Qi Qiaorong, who was being ordered by Qi Rong not to go out, set off for Zezhou early the next morning, under the cover of Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao didn't even forget to remind, what kind of family background is there? You just keep an eye on it, you should think of a way, you have to think of a way, otherwise you will wait diligently to marry, those unproductive husbands.

The Huaiqing Palace's Mansion is burning with a dragon, and the courtyard itself is hotter than elsewhere, and this flower is even blooming in season.

The county lord of Anping saw the carriage of Qi Mansion coming from a distance, and he was overjoyed. She is ready for everything she should prepare, just wait now, and see Zhong Mingjun's disappointed appearance.

Qi Qiaorong got down from the carriage and hurriedly saluted: "Your Highness, ten thousand blessings." ”

The county lord of Anping probed her brain and stared at it for a long time, but she didn't see a person getting off the carriage, she was a little unhappy.

"Why are you alone? What about Qi Jingyan? ”

Qi Qiaorong smiled a little proudly: "It may be that she seduced a man, used up her good luck, and was punished by God, and dared to smash the tablet of her ancestors." I was punished by my father, and I was thinking about it behind closed doors. ”

What the? Really fined?

When Qi Qiaorong saw it, the county lord of Anping looked like he had eaten, and his face was hideous.

"The county lord... What's wrong...... Does Qi Jingyan have to come? ”

An Ping crossed his waist and walked to the side with her: "Otherwise? If she doesn't come, what's the point of this palace holding this flower-viewing banquet? Thousands of instructions, no matter what excuse Qi Jingyan has, let you be sure! Certain! Bring her with you! What about the people you brought to Hongu? ”

The county lord of Anping was speechless, this kind of thing shouldn't be, give her a useless thing to do, all her layout, all the design, all in vain.

Qi Qiaorong realized that the county lord of Anping originally used this thought. But it doesn't matter, as long as she has this in mind.

"Don't worry, county lord, although I didn't bring it. But I didn't come empty-handed, and I have a piece of news that is extremely favorable to the county lord. ”

The county lord of Anping was very angry because the plan was revealed: "What news? If it's not good news, this palace will definitely punish you. ”

"Don't worry, this news will definitely satisfy you."

"Say!" ,

Qi Qiaorong smiled with him: "It's good for the parents to be the masters of the two families, but after all, my sister is not an ordinary person, coaxing Zhong Mingjun to let her be the master." So they made an appointment, and on March 3, Qi Jingyan met with Zhong Mansion and personally gave Zhong Mingjun an answer. Don't worry, county lord, this will not change. ”

"Okay, I see."
