Chapter 54: Put it on the bright side
"I saw that he was good at playing with stones, so I came over to ask for advice."
Ning Xi got out from behind Wu Zizhang, spread his hands innocently, and twisted the soaked skirt by the way.
"The prince has never been close to women, but you are bold, and you dare to come over and provoke three times or twice?"
Wu Ziyao spread his hands, looking like you are really bold, and gave a thumbs up by the way.
"The prince didn't say anything, he was trying to teach me to throw stones, I didn't sit still, rolled into the water, and the prince was enthusiastic to save me." Ning Xi's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and his fingers flicked lightly, thinking about Xiao Yu's tight and firm lower abdominal muscles, and his face was still unfinished.
“......”
"The prince taught you to throw stones and save you?"
Ji Shuyuan interjected and came in, looking incredulous.
If anyone here believes it, she doesn't believe it, Prince An!
The prince who is not close to women to the point of indifference and outrageous will reach out to save people? Will you be idle and panic to teach people to throw stones?
Obviously impossible!
"yes!"
Ning Xi nodded seriously, then ignored everyone's various eyes, beckoned Lu Luo Cuiqiao to push her to the carriage, hastily changed her soaked skirt, cut her hair, and got out of the carriage again.
The group returned to the table at this point, drinking wine and discussing the previous topic.
Wu Zizhang Ji Heng and Wu Ziyu, led by Wu Zimin, believed Ning Xi's words, and felt that although Xiao Yu was a little less approachable and indifferent, it was still possible to change a little about Ning Xi.
Wu Ziyao and Zheng Qiuyue, led by Ji Shuyuan, resolutely did not believe that a cold and indifferent person like Xiao Yu would be different from Ning Xi, a well-known ghost.
Only Su Qiao's two teams did not occupy it, and they looked at Ning Xi and smiled.
Ning Xi waved his hand boringly, ready to withdraw first.
Everyone was happy after three rounds of drinking, and they were ready to go home as soon as possible.
Ji Heng slipped out in disguise, in order not to attract attention, he drove back to the house first, Wu Zizhang and Wu Ziyu came out of the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and they had to go back to order when they were busy, and they would accompany Huaiyang Hou to inspect later.
After packing up, Wu Ziyao and Wu Zimin drove in front to escort the young ladies to the city in a car.
The carriage was spacious, and it didn't seem cramped to sit on the four ladies.
Ning Xi took the various juices and candies that had been prepared in the box and handed them to everyone to get tired, and looked at Su Qiao, who was still a little restrained, and suddenly hooked his lips and smiled: "You also just came here not long ago?" ”
"......" Su Qiao was slightly stunned, and was about to speak, when Ji Shuyuan patted Ning Xi's shoulder and replied, "Su Qiao came with us, what's wrong?" ”
Ning Xi's eyes flashed, and he nodded suddenly.
"I saw the girl Jin Se who often waits for you in Chunxi Pavilion before, and I thought you were also listening to the play there."
Ning Xi threw a candy into his mouth, glanced at Su Qiao, whose face changed slightly, and then withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
"You girl, go to the theater alone behind our backs, hum!" Ji Shuyuan leaned on Zheng Qiuyue's shoulder in a daze, and after saying a vague word, the two of them were drunk, leaning on each other and squinting and falling asleep.
Only Ning Xi, who had not been drinking, and Su Qiao, who had stopped tasting alcohol, were still awake in the carriage.
Su Qiao's face stiffened slightly, thinking that Jin Se was not with him, and as soon as his mind turned, he heard Ning Xi's voice ring again.
"Jinse's girl is good-looking and high-minded, don't let her go in the future."
Before the words fell, Su Qiao's face turned pale, and her mind turned a lot of thoughts, aiming at Ning Xi's eyes that had been closed from beginning to end, but she still felt that her embarrassment had nowhere to hide.
Su Qiao was very ashamed when she said the four words "pass the letter and deliver the words", but she was really strange, how did Ning Xi know?
She and Chu Xun have been exchanging letters for half a year, and no third party knows about this matter except for Jin Se.
After a while, Su Qiao asked softly, "How are you..... Jin Se went to Chunxi Pavilion not on my orders.... I ......"
After a long time, she still couldn't say the question she wanted to ask the most.
Ning Xihuo opened his eyes and stared at Su Qiao's embarrassed face with a hint of flushing, and his face was not very good-looking.
"That's really strange, it wasn't you who ordered it, why did she go to Chunxi Pavilion to see Young Master Chu?"
Ning Xi didn't want to go around the bend with her, she knew Su Qiao's temperament too well, I was afraid that she would also classify her as a "rival in love", if she said it too vaguely, it would make her suspicious.
It's better to simply put Chu Xun on the bright side, and she can say some things.
Besides, with Ning Xi's nickname and the "friendship" she got along with a few days ago, what she said was simply understood, and it was better than letting Su Qiao continue to be embarrassed.
In the past, she believed too much in what she saw with her eyes, and she never doubted it, so she would let Jin Se and Chu Xun play around.
Now that Chu Xun has returned to Beijing privately, she is afraid that it will be too late for Su Qiao, who is carried away by love at a moment.
As a five-year later, she knew too well how deep her love for Chu Xun was back then, and when she mentioned this stubble, Ning Xi didn't intend to make Su Qiao break her mind just by that.
However, as long as she didn't trust Jin Se so completely, and had even the slightest suspicion about Chu Xun, it would be considered that her words were not in vain.
“.......”
Su Qiao was choked by Ning Xi's unceremonious blow, and the blood on her face receded, leaving only a pale.
"Chu Xun ......."
Su Qiao really wanted to say that Chu Xun was serving in Lin'an County, how could he come back without a summons?
She wanted to say that if he really came back, how could he not come to her?
But she couldn't say any of these words.
She and Ning Xi were caught off guard by piercing this layer of paper, compared to Ning Xi's calm and neat, she seemed much narrower.
"You don't know he's back?"
Ning Xi twisted her eyebrows, stared at Su Qiao with a slight sneer, and the fire in her heart rushed to her mouth, and she didn't leave half a bit polite.
"That's it, this matter is not something I should get involved in, maybe I recognized the wrong person, or Chu Xun's term of office in Lin'an County has expired, and I will be transferred back to the capital to ask you for marriage, in short, I have a lot of trouble."
I'm sorry, but the tone isn't very polite.
Su Qiao, who said it bluntly, turned white and red.
Biting her lower lip, she wanted to defend herself, but she felt a little ashamed.
I was anxious and stayed up all the way into the city, and then hurriedly followed everyone to say goodbye.
As soon as he returned to the house, Liusha let Su Qiao sit down in the hall.
"Why is the young lady's face so pale, rest first, and the slave will go to the small kitchen to prepare barley porridge."
Before she could turn around, Su Qiao grabbed her arm.
He hurriedly asked, "Where is Jinse?" Is it in the house? ”
"Jin Se...."Liusha hasn't seen this girl since she entered the house, who knows what she's busy with.
After such a pause, Su Qiao's already pale face stiffened, and she waved her hand to signal Liusha to retreat.
Although the flowing yarn was a little strange, she still respectfully blessed her body and went to the small kitchen to serve porridge.
