Chapter 42: Suspicious

Looking at Dongxue's evasive appearance, Zuo Xiangfeng had no choice, knowing that she couldn't push too hard, that would only make her feel bored. But his feelings for Dongxue in his heart have not changed at all, and he is even more obsessed with her.

After waiting for a long time, Dongxue found that Zuo Xiangfeng was still standing there, and couldn't help but open her eyes, frowning and urging: "Why are you so grinding, do you still teach or not?" ”

"Of course it has to be taught," Zuo Xiangfeng smiled, thinking that although he was still far from success, he had already taken the first step towards success anyway, as long as he persevered, even if Dongxue was a cold and hard stone, there would always be a day when he could warm her up!

After nearly a month, Dongxue finally practiced a set of internal skills to the point of handy, and after returning to the palace, she taught Baili Lan non-stop, for fear that if she delayed for a moment, she would hurt Bai Lilan and the child in her belly. And Bai Lilan practiced twice, but she refused to practice this set of mental methods again on the grounds that her stomach was too big and she was uncomfortable sitting there. Several maids persuaded for a long time to no avail, and in the end, Dongxue practiced so hard for so long that he could only rot in his stomach.

"Don't be discouraged, at least you have practiced a set of martial arts, which can be regarded as a gain." Xia Yu said to the somewhat depressed Dongxue, "Last time, my mother said that I liked flower arrangement, and I planted a yard of flower branches with the spring breeze, but it was less than half a month, and the mother said that she didn't like it, and those flowers grew more and more, and the spring breeze and I couldn't bear the withering of the flowers, so we could only continue to take care of them." But who knows how the vitality of those flowers can be so vigorous, and in the end they will all become disasters! Hey, there's no way, our mother is this kind of temperament that likes the new and hates the old, as slaves, we can only endure it. ”

Xia Yu said helplessly, and Dong Xue nodded quite approvingly, feeling that Baili Lan was indeed such a person. But anyway, she is also her own master, since the master doesn't like it, the things she learned have no value in existence, and she has the right to be on vacation for the past month.

Xia Yu saw that Dongxue seemed to be a little lonely, so he gossiped up, stared at her expression carefully, and asked, "Hey, you have been with Zuo Xiangfeng for so long, has he said anything to you?" ”

"He's a chatterbox, he talks a lot of things every day, what do you mean?"

"Well, for example, does he care about you in particular, or does he do anything that moves you?"

Sneered, Dong Xue said bluntly: "This guy always says strange things inexplicably, as if he cares, but who knows what he thinks in his heart." I said, why are you so concerned about the left wind today? Are you hiding something from me again? ”

This question made Xia Yu excited, shook his head with a smile, and denied: "What are you kidding, I haven't seen him during this time, how can I join forces with him to lie to you." Dongxue, I'm your good sister, if you talk about me like that, people will be sad. Saying that, Xia Yu also made a heartbroken look.

Looking at her fake appearance, Dongxue couldn't help laughing, stretched out her finger and pointed it on her forehead, and said jokingly: "You don't look like this disguise at all, people can see through it at a glance, it's really unprofessional." Okay, didn't Qiushuang say that there is something we need help with, go over and see, what we can do for her. ”

"Yes, Qiushuang did find us just now," Xia Yu said knowingly, "She's been busy during this time, and when the birthday banquet is over, we will have to treat her well." ”

"Let's talk about this later, now let's go to Qiushuang's side and take a look."

When the two of them came to the ceremonial hall, they saw the palace maids walking back and forth outside, neatly aligned, and everyone's smile was exactly the same in every movement. Xia Yu looked at these and felt funny, and couldn't help but ask Dong Xue beside him: "Dong Xue, you see, they don't look like the games that Niang Niang played for us, huh...... Tell everyone to find fault. Even though I lose every time, if it's them, I think I'll win! ”

Hearing Xia Yu's voice, Qiu Shuang, who was arranging matters inside, turned around, smiled at the two of them, and then said, "Why are you here, come quickly, I have something that you need to help with." ”

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Xia Yu smiled happily, like a happy swallow, fluttering to the side of Autumn Frost.

patted the calligraphy and painting beside him, which was half a person tall, and Qiushuang said a little powerlessly: "I called you here today to ask you to sort out these things." ”

Walking around the pile of things, Xia Yuhu asked suspiciously, "What is this?" It's like an abandoned book. ”

"Don't underestimate these things," Qiushuang explained how the people around her should do it, and said to Xia Yu while taking the time, "Although these calligraphy and paintings look inconspicuous, each one is priceless." I can't trust the hands and feet of those people, I'm afraid that they will accidentally get dirty and damaged, so I want you to help clean it up. ”

Looking at the pile of calligraphy and paintings, Dong Xue said concisely: "How do you need us to sort it out?" ”

"Oh, it's easy, just arrange things in the order of the people's names." Qiushuang handed a list full of names to Dongxue, and then hurriedly walked out of the room, and as she walked, she did not forget to explain, "Remember, you have to get it done before dusk, otherwise it will be too late!" ”

"Okay, don't worry!" Standing on tiptoe and waving his hand to Qiushuang, Xia Yu looked at Dongxue with a smile and said, "Such a simple thing is easy, it doesn't need to be before dusk, with the wisdom of the two of us, it can be sorted out in less than half an hour, right?" ”

Just when Xia Yu was still chattering, Dong Xue had already bent down to pick up calligraphy and paintings, and began to act according to Qiu Shuang's instructions.

Pouting, Xia Yu felt a little bored, and then stood beside Dong Xue, looking at so many and such messy things, a little at a loss. picked up a calligraphy and painting casually, looked at the inscription on it, and frowned for a long time.

Zhang ...... Zhang Shi...... Zhang Shi, what! Xia Yu grabbed his hair and said a little angrily, "Oh, what are these things, the words are not easy to write, it looks like painting!" ”

Seeing Xia Yu so crazy, Dong Xue kindly glanced at the past, and then said: "This person's name is Zhang Shijie, he is a freehand painter, just put it in the second position on the left." ”

The winter snow is familiar with it, and Xia Yu can't help but feel admired. But when he turned his head, in a short period of time, Dongxue had already sorted out a lot of calligraphy and paintings, which made Xia Yu dumbfounded and asked: "It turns out that Dongxue is also a talented woman who knows so many ancient characters." ”

"What a talented girl, don't take me for fun." Dong Xue smiled faintly, and then said, "When I was practicing martial arts, I had a lot of ancient martial arts secrets, and in order to learn those martial arts, I had to recognize these ancient words, and I really learned them hard." ”

"That's also amazing," Xia Yu picked up a scroll again, and after unfolding it, he still couldn't understand the name on it, sighed, and said, "Hey, it's not like me, I can't understand it no matter how you look at it." ”

"In fact, there are some ways to read ancient characters." Dongxue pointed to the inscription of one of the paintings and said, "Look at the text written on it, although it looks like a painting, you can still vaguely distinguish the appearance of the current font from a certain part. ”

After listening to Dong Xue's words, Xia Yu really picked up the calligraphy and painting in his hand and carefully studied the inscription on it. Seeing that Xia Yu was quiet, Dongxue smiled and continued to pack up the picture scroll in his hand.

After staring carefully for a long time, Xia Yu suddenly said with a smile: "Hey, I know this name!" Xu Shaoqing...... Well, can he still draw? ”

Hearing the familiar name, Dong Xue immediately walked to Xia Yu's side, carefully held the calligraphy and painting into his hand, his expression suddenly became very gentle, and muttered: "Of course he can draw, and his paintings are still very famous in Beining, especially his plum blossoms, which are simply ......" Dong Xue was suddenly stunned, then turned his head to look at Xia Yu, and asked coldly, "How do you know his name?" ”

Finished!

Secretly screaming in his heart, Xia Yu thought about how he was so careless, and he stabbed the basket unconsciously! What can I do now, what do I have to say, what do I say, can Dongxue believe it?

Seeing Xia Yu's appearance of dodging left and right, Dongxue's voice became cold, stared straight at her, and asked, "Look into my eyes and answer me!" ”

His body trembled, the corners of Xia Yu's mouth moved slightly, and then said: "That, I just heard others mention this person's name, talk about him, say that he is an official of Beining, young and promising, quite talented." I...... That's all I know, really! Xia Yu said as he kept looking back, eager to see Qiu Shuang's figure.

Autumn Frost, where are you, come and help! I can't hold it anymore!!

Just when Xia Yu's neck was about to be broken, Dong Xue grabbed her arm, and asked with a chill in her eyes, "You're lying!" Xia Yu, you are not suitable for lying, because the reasons you made up are full of loopholes and are not convincing at all. I don't want to bother with words, you'd better explain it yourself! ”

"I ...... What do I confess? Xia Yu looked aggrieved and said intermittently, "That's all I know, these ...... It's all Qiushuang told me. If you want to know more, go for Autumn Frost! It's yourself, what is the relationship between this Xu Shaoqing and you, why are you so excited when you mention him? ”

Qiushuang, I'm sorry, I really can't handle it, I can only push you out, don't blame me!

Xia Yu replied while repenting in his heart. But now she just wants to get rid of Dongxue as soon as possible, because in the face of Dongxue's questioning, she doesn't know how to answer at all.
