Chapter 17: Night Talk

"General! Captain Song has something to look for you. "The attendant soldiers came to report to Xie Shen.

"Okay, then I'll go out first. You're working on the details. ”

Qin Ran and Gu Yan both bowed their heads, Xie Shen nodded and went out with the soldiers.

The two of them were speechless for a while, Gu Yan and Qin Ran took the teacup and drank tea, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

The environment in the army is simple, and even the teacups in the hands of the two are made of wood.

This is still the rule that Xie Shen set up after taking charge of the Gyeonggi battalion, just to reduce the use of the army. Xie Shen governed the army strictly, and followed Jianye Hou to garrison Tianhe City for half his life. Tianhe City is located on the border, and materials are already scarce, if everyone uses porcelain cups, then the porcelain cups that are broken on weekdays are a big expense.

Xie Shen came up with the idea of replacing porcelain cups with wooden wine cups, and after returning to Beijing, he implemented it in the Gyeonggi camp.

Qin Ran's hand unconsciously touched the raw edge of the wooden cup, and he didn't pay attention to it, and in an instant, a wooden thorn pierced into Qin Ran's finger, just piercing into the flesh, causing Qin Ran to throb for a while.

"Sss

Gu Yan looked up fiercely, took Qin Ran's hand, and looked at it carefully: "What's wrong?" Is it a burr? ”

Qin Ran was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he didn't withdraw his hand, but said softly: "I was stabbed into my hand by the burr on the cup, it hurts a little." ”

Gu Yan was even more worried, grabbing Qin Ran's finger and looking worriedly, "Is there a needle and thread?" ”

Qin Ran looked at Gu Yan's worried look, and the corners of his mouth hooked. The two of them were so close that they could even feel their breath.

"Well, where is the needlework in the army?" Qin Ran deliberately teased him, and sure enough, the latter's brows furrowed deeply, as if he was thinking about countermeasures.

"It's just that I've been following Uncle Xie Shen since I was a child, and I've been pricked in this teacup I don't know how many times. Therefore, I deliberately asked Xunlu to take a sewing kit and put it on my body from time to time. As Qin Ran spoke, he took a sewing kit from his body with his other hand and handed it to Gu Yan.

When Gu Yan heard this, how could he not know that Qin Ran was deliberately teasing him.

He glanced at Qin Ran lightly, and without speaking, he quietly took the sewing kit and took out the needle for Qin Ran to pick out the thorns.

Qin Ran's heart was weakened by that fluttering gaze, and he silently lowered his eyes and let Gu Yan move, but his fingers trembled slightly when Gu Yan picked out the thorn.

Gu Yan thought she was in pain, so she was more gentle.

"Alright."

Gu Yan said coldly, put the needle back into the sewing kit, and let go of Qin Ran's hand.

Qin Ran's hand curled slightly, and he hurriedly withdrew it.

Gu Yan was slightly distracted, he clasped his hands, and it seemed that the residual warmth of the girl's fingers was still in his palms.

"Sir..."

Qin Ran muttered, her eyes widened, and she looked at Gu Yan with extreme grievance.

"You can't joke about your injuries in the future."

Gu Yan grimaced, this was the first time he had spoken to Qin Ran so seriously.

"Sir, I was wrong."

Qin Ran sat upright and behaved, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was extremely good, so that Gu Yan couldn't even be fierce.

Gu Yan sighed shallowly at Qin Ran.

"Leyi, I'm really distressed today."

Gu Yan didn't say this sentence, he read it silently in his heart, his eyes were slight.

……

After Gu Yan left, it was already dark. After Qin Ran had eaten, he was called to the big tent by Xie Shen.

Qin Ran thought that he was going to discuss the suppression of bandits in a few days, so he didn't think much about it, so he went straight to the point.

But when Qin Ran entered the big tent, he found that there was no one except Xie Shen inside. Xie Shen was sitting on the chair, with the fragrance of tea in front of him, and it seemed that he had been waiting for her for a long time.

Xie Shen heard the footsteps, and he didn't look back, but said in a deep voice, "Here, just sit down." ”

Qin Ran sat down for some reason, because there were only the two of them, there were not so many rules, so he casually held the teacup and drank all the tea.

Xie Shen looked at her with heavy eyes, and saw that Qin Ran's whole body was numb.

"Uncle Xie Shen, what are you doing here?" Qin Ran looked at Xie Shen helplessly, she felt that Xie Shen today was a little weird and looked fierce.

Hmm, Qin Ran thought about it for a while, it was as if when she was in Tianhe City, she took the children in the city to dominate the city, and that time she bullied a little boy, so scared that people didn't dare to go out for ten days and half a month. At that time, the father of the family came to complain, and her father happened to be absent, which was handled by Uncle Xie Shen. After Uncle Xie Shen sent people away at night, he had this expression.

No, no, no, it's not even as fierce as this time.

Qin Ran silently raised his forehead, did I do something bad recently and poke Uncle Xie Shen's scales?

Shouldn't it, Uncle Xie Shen praised me two days ago?

Qin Ran spun around in his mind, and he didn't come up with anything.

She was finally discouraged, and she spread herself out of her chair, looking like she was going to kill or kill Ren Junben.

"Uncle Xie Shen, just say it directly, don't look at me like that, I'm about to be scared out of my illness by you." Qin Ran rubbed his face, "However, Uncle Xie Shen hasn't seen you for so long, I think you are becoming more and more like my father, especially when you look at me like this." I've been scared out of my dad for so many years. ”

Qin Ran patted his chest with palpitations.

"My heart can't stand it~"

Xie Shen couldn't cry or laugh because of Qin Ran's poor mouth, and he couldn't hold his face.

"You girl, I really can't do anything about you."

Qin Ran smirked.

"However, Uncle Xie asks you, what's going on between you and Gu Mingzhou?"

Qin Ran was stunned by Xie Shen's question, she didn't expect it to be because of this at all. Could it be that she is acting too obviously?

"Ran girl?"

Xie Shen saw that Qin Ran was obviously stunned, he deepened his guess even more, and he didn't wait for Qin Ran's answer, so he frowned and persuaded him.

"Ran girl, Uncle Xie knows that Gu Mingzhou is unparalleled, not to mention Jingzhong, there are more women in the whole Daqi who want to marry him. If you are not his student, it is also a match made in heaven for you to be the daughter of the Marquis of Jianye. But, Ran girl, you are his student, he is your husband, you must not like him. ”

Qin Ran's original smiling face slowly dimmed, she thought of her previous life, she died on the battlefield, and she didn't even see the last side of Mingzhou.

Her past life has been wrong again and again, why can't she even make up for it when she lives again?!

Why does she like Mingzhou but she doesn't even have a chance to be together?!

Why?!

"Why?"

Qin Ran's face was neither sad nor joyful, she stared at Xie Shen in front of her, and asked calmly.

Xie Shen looked at Qin Ran, who seemed to have changed into a different person, and was a little worried.

"One day as a teacher and a father for life, Gu Mingzhou is your husband after all."

Qin Ran said softly: "Uncle Xie, I remember that the county lord of Leping in the previous dynasty married her husband. ”

"But she can withstand that pressure, can you?"

"As long as Mingzhou likes me, then I can."

Xie Shen had never seen Qin Ran's determined appearance, he originally wanted to persuade him, but after thinking for a while, he gave up.

Qin Ran, a girl, has been stubborn since she was a child, and she didn't shed a single tear even when she made a mistake and was sacrificed to the family law by the old marquis. The character of not hitting the south wall and not looking back.

Xie Shen let out a long sigh: "Lady Ran, if Gu Mingzhou also likes you, then this should be something you should face together." Uncle Xie sees that he is also a responsible person, I should have persuaded and persuaded him, and then I can only look at you. ”

Qin Ran smiled and nodded, his gaze firm.

No one knows what will happen after this conversation.
