Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Fatal Fuse

At the foot of the hillside, a white figure stopped beside a pine tree, put his hand on the thick trunk, looked up at the pine tree that was still flourishing, and sighed for a long time: "Now that everything is depressed, only you are still the same!" ”

"The demeanor is still good, and it would be better if there were people who shared the wind and rain!"

Qi Yungu, who was feeling nostalgic, was disturbed by someone who came like this, and he was inevitably a little unhappy.

Qi Yungu withdrew his hand, didn't even look at He Yan, and stepped up the stone steps: "I heard that the county lord of Lilan was accidentally injured two days ago, it seems that it is a rumor!" ”

Qi Yungu has lived in a simple house for many years, and he has not seen guests, it is difficult for He Yan to see him, but now He Yan not only saw Qi Yungu, but also talked to him, He Yan was naturally ecstatic.

He Yan trotted to Qi Yungu's side: "Isn't it a rumor, if it's true, how can Yan'er still stand here?" ”

"Yes. However, the king only heard that the lord of Lilan had been injured by mistake, but he did not hear anything else. Why, didn't the lord of Lilan punish that man? ”

"That person was unintentional, so why should I pursue it?"

"The lord of Lilan is really a big weapon, if he is replaced by this king, this king will use him as a target!"

"If the prince really wants to do this, then the other party must have done something hurtful, otherwise he wouldn't have forced the gentle and elegant Prince Mu to this point!"

Qi Yun Gu smiled dryly: "Is it gentle and elegant?" ”

He Yan didn't pay attention to Qi Yungu's overtones, he just thought he was repeating his words.

"Not only gentle and elegant, but also heroic and heroic!"

Qi Yungu smiled faintly: "Lilan County Lord Miao praised!" ”

Qi Yungu's smile made He Yan, who was already ecstatic, even more overjoyed.

Luo Shaoyuan, who was standing on the edge of the Moon Pavilion, looked at it from a distance, and it was just a depression, so he couldn't help but sigh: "The cold winter of October is not as good as spring, and the depression has not reached the bud." ”

As soon as Luo Shaoyuan finished speaking, Fan Ruojiao came up and said: "In the cold winter, the snow is all over the ground, and the rice and wheat will be piled up in the city in the coming year." ”

Luo Shaoyuan sat on the beauty lean, looked at the depression under the mountain, and felt a little regretful: "It would be good if it was spring now, so that the flowers and leaves on the mountain are much better than the depression in this winter." ”

Fan Ruojiao also sat down next to Luo Shaoyuan: "Autumn goes to winter, everything changes, this is an immutable law, Cousin Shaoyuan doesn't have to be so sad." ”

"It's not that I'm sad, it's just that I didn't show up at the right time!"

"If Cousin Young Kite wants to see the flowers and red leaves, let's come back in spring on a cloudy day!"

Fan Ruojiao obviously didn't understand the meaning of Luo Shaoyuan's words, and Luo Shaoyuan didn't explain to her, so she diverted the topic: "I originally thought that this time I could be more lively, but the two girls of the Qi family couldn't leave, and Yueying was sick again, and it was just us!" ”

"No, it was lively at the beginning, but now it's just the two of us."

"Don't 'we', I can't get married in this life anyway, but you're different, you're in your prime, and you admire so many children of your family, don't you pick?"

As soon as Luo Shaoyuan mentioned this, Fan Ruojiao's expression darkened a little.

The erratic dark clouds chased in the air, inadvertently obscuring the warm sun, and suddenly a snowflake fell slowly.

Fan Ruojiao sat sideways, lying on the railing of the beauty, and stretched out her hand to catch the snowflake: "This is not buying something in the store, you can pick it if you say it!" ”

Luo Shaoyuan also lay on the railing and looked at the falling snowflakes: "Then you can't waste time on impossible people all the time!" ”

Fan Ruojiao did not answer.

Pieces of snowflakes fell and fell on the bare branches, adding a touch of poignancy to the originally depressed trees.

Luo Shaoyuan didn't hear Fan Ruojiao's answer for a long time, so he turned his head to look at her.

Luo Shaoyuan saw Fan Ruojiao's face gloomy, she knew what she was thinking, and she wanted to persuade her when she opened her mouth, but before Luo Shaoyuan could speak, Qingluo came to Luo Shaojiao's side: "Miss, Miss Cousin." Prince Mu and Lord Lilan came. ”

When the two heard Qingluo's words, they immediately glanced at each other, and then stood up.

The weeds in the woods had long since withered, and even the moss beside the slabs had withered.

He Yan on Zhengxing's head talked and laughed with Qi Yungu endlessly, but Qi Yungu didn't say a word.

As the two of them got closer and closer to the Moon Pavilion, He Yan, who was laughing at Qi Yungu, saw Luo Shaoyuan and Fan Ruojiao in the Moon Pavilion.

Chu Lin sat on a boulder and looked into the distance, letting the fluttering snowflakes cover his whole body.

Shuchen, who turned back, stretched out the umbrella he brought and held it for Chu Lin.

In this winter, Chu Lin didn't even have some hay under him, and Shuchen couldn't help but be a little worried: "Childe has been sitting here for a long time, why don't you go back first." ”

Chu Lin still looked into the distance, and replied for a long time: "Yueying just called me 'Grand Prince Chu'." ”

"Didn't Miss Yueying always call Childe that?"

"Yes. If she just teased, it would have been fine, but she just called me like this with a straight face, which is enough to see that she is really angry! ”

"Then what is Miss Yueying angry about?"

"I don't want to be white, I was inexplicably angry when I first arrived here, and I was fine the next day, but now I ......"

Shuchen thought back to the meeting between Chu Lin and Lin Yueying in the past few days, if Lin Yueying was angry with Chu Lin for the first time, what was the reason for the second anger? Lin Yueying is now recuperating, and the people who have seen her have seen Lin Yueying except for Lin Yuelang and Haitang and Yuan Cheng.

Shuchen thought of this, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

Lin Yuelang has never agreed to Chu Lin's marriage contract with Lin Yueying, but he has never said it in front of Lin Yueying; If Yuan Cheng wanted to take this opportunity to dig into the corner, he didn't have more time at all; If it is Haitang, she is such a smart person, it is impossible to provoke the relationship between Chu Lin and Lin Yueying, unless she inadvertently says something that should not be said!

The snow in early winter poured down, burying the moss beside the stone slabs and blocking the birds in the mountains, leaving only tranquility.

Qi Yungu sat in the place where Luo Shaoyuan was sitting just now with a book in his hand, looking at it intently, while Luo Shaoyuan, Fan Ruojiao, and He Yan could only sit quietly on both sides.

After sitting for a long time, Fan Ruojiao, who was really idle and panicked, secretly pulled Luo Shaojiao's sleeve, but Luo Shaoyuan rarely ignored her, and Fan Ruojiao could only continue to sit down.

On the other side, He Yan, who was also bored and panicked, got up and sat beside Qi Yungu bravely, seeing that Qi Yungu had no intention of refusing, he looked at the book in his hand again:

The righteous are righteous. How can we know what is right? If there is righteousness in the world, it will be metallurgized, and if there is no righteousness, it will be chaotic. However, the righteous one, who is not from the bottom and the one who is up, will be from the top to the bottom.

He Yan read a paragraph and asked Qi Yungu: "Is the prince watching "Mozi"? ”

Qi Yungu continued to look at the book in his hand until he finished reading a paragraph before answering He Yan: "Hmm." ”

He Yan waited for a long time and only waited for an "um", if it was someone else, He Yan would have been angry.

He Yan said patiently: "According to legend, Mozi first learned Confucianism, but he was dissatisfied with the red tape of Confucianism, so he went the opposite way and learned Dayu's hard work and simplicity, so he established his own new theory and founded the Mohist school. ”

"Although there is a bit more red tape in Confucianism, which of the courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame it advocates is not the foundation of human beings?"

Qi Yungu directly talked to death with a word, so that He Yan had no way to pick it up.

He Yan thought for a long time, and then said: "The Mohist school advocates the theory of civilianism and metallurgy of loving and loving monks, although it is inconsistent with the national conditions of my Zhurong, but I also have to admit that Mozi really knows people and will use people. ”

Qi Yungu read another paragraph before answering He Yan: "Knowing people and making good use of them is the most basic common sense for a monarch." ”

Qi Yungu once again chatted to death, which really made He Yan distressed.

He Yan thought about it, since Qi Yungu refused to accept herself, why didn't she change her way and pick up Qi Yungu's words by herself?

He Yan thought for a while and asked, "What does the prince think of Mozi's 'three tables'?" ”

"'The matter of the holy king of the ancients in the upper book', 'the truth of the people's ears and eyes in the lower plains', and 'the abolition of the criminal and political concept in which the interests of the people of the country and the people' are the three tables, that is, the history is examined, the people are examined and the people are actually heard, and then the actual effect of the decree is examined whether it is beneficial to the country and the people. This is not really a policy to smelt the country! ”

He Yan saw that Qi Yungu could be regarded as taking his own words, so he asked again: "We can learn from the Yin monarchs and virtuous ministers in history, and we can also investigate the people's suffering, but whether the decree is effective or not is not something that can be known overnight!" ”

"No one is born to walk, and whether this decree is effective or not must be practiced step by step."

"There is a question in this book, if the banquet is not white, can the banquet ask the prince?"

"Tell me about it."

"Mozi said, 'And the righteous one, the government also. If there is no government from below, it will be from above. I don't know what that means? ”

As soon as He Yan finished speaking, Luo Shaoyuan, who had been silent, looked up at Qi Yungu.

Qi Yungu replied: "Its meaning is Kuangzheng, and it must not be above and below, but above and below." ”

"That ......"

He Yan wanted to ask again, but Luo Shaoyuan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Mozi has clouds, 'everything above is everything, and everything above is not.'" 'The Mohists use totalitarianism to govern the country and advocate obedience to the superiors, so if the superiors are wrong, should the subordinates also obey? ”

Luo Shaoyuan's words couldn't help but make Qi Yungu look up at her.

Xu is Qi Yungu's eyes were cold and blank, and his look made Luo Shaoyuan, who was still calm just now, become a little flustered.

Luo Shaoyuan lowered his head and no longer looked at Yun Gu.

When He Yan saw that it was Luo Shaoyuan again, he was furious in his heart, and he was about to refute her, but Qi Yungu took the lead.

Qi Yungu closed the book and said lightly: "Miss Luo has also seen a lot of big scenes, but I didn't expect to be so unruly that she would interrupt the conversation of this king!" ”

As soon as Qi Yungu finished speaking, Luo Shaoyuan stood up, and even Fan Ruojiao, who was sitting next to her, also stood up.

Qi Yungu actually reprimanded Luo Shaoyuan, and He Yan was a little surprised.

Chu Lin, who was persuaded by Shuchen to go back, sat alone by the brazier, staring at the burning coals in a daze.

Haitang brought a cup of hot tea and handed it to Chu Lin, but Chu Lin didn't take it, so Haitang could only put the tea aside.

It was the first time for Haitang to see Chu Lin so listless, out of curiosity, she walked up to Shuchen and asked in a whisper: "Shuchen, Gongzi was fine when he went out just now, how can he ...... now?"

Shuchen, who was standing next to the tent, looked at Begonia a little thoughtfully, and looked at Begonia a little strangely: "What's wrong?" ”

"Have you said anything to Miss Yueying in the past two days?"

Shuchen's question made Begonia even more strange: "It's nothing, just talk about it casually!" ”

"Then can you tell me what you said to Miss Yueying?"

Shuchen's question made Haitang a little panicked, could it be that Chu Lin was like this because he had unknowingly done something wrong?

"Didn't Childe ask me to go to Miss Yueying to deliver soup yesterday, and I praised Childe's cooking skills."

"What else?"

"Also, I asked about the marriage date of Gongzi and Miss Yueying."

"You ......"

Shuchen was completely speechless, and Chu Lin, who listened to the words of the two people word for word, still looked at the burning coals and was silent.

In the Moon Pavilion, Fan Ruojiao, who was standing with a little sore legs, secretly pulled the corner of Luo Shaoyuan's clothes and looked at her pitifully.

Luo Shaoyuan, who was also standing with a little sore legs, looked at the snow that had become smaller outside, and took Fan Ruojiao to retire with Qi Yungu.

Qi Yungu didn't keep it, so he beckoned them and sent them down, leaving only himself and He Yan.

He Yan proudly watched Luo Shaoyuan go farther and farther, and wanted to continue talking to Qi Yungu, but when he turned around, he realized that where Luo Shaoyuan was sitting just now, a piece of jade pendant had fallen.

He Yan motioned to her maidservant Shiwen to bring the jade pendant.

He Yan took the jade pendant and glanced at it briefly, and whispered to Qi Yungu with joy: "This Luo Shaoyuan is too bold, and he wears a phoenix-patterned jade pendant privately!" ”

Qi Yungu looked at the phoenix-patterned jade pendant in He Yan's hand, and a trace of ripples appeared in his calm eyes.

He Yan continued: "The prince thinks that he should not Ye Luo Shaoyuan have a ......?"

Before He Yan finished speaking, Qi Yungu immediately snatched the jade pendant in her hand and looked at it carefully.

Qi Yungu's somewhat rude actions made He Yan a little surprised: "Lord Wang? ”

Qi Yungu looked at the phoenix pattern jade pendant over and over again, his face was full of disbelief, and then he took out the dragon pattern jade pendant that he had been carrying in his arms, and compared it seriously with Luo Shaoyuan's phoenix pattern jade pendant. In addition to the different patterns, the incisions and sizes of the two jade pendants are exactly the same, this is indeed the phoenix jade pendant that I have been looking for for more than three years!

Who in this world doesn't know that the dragon pattern jade pendant on Qi Yungu's body was given by Yuan Yi. He Yan also heard that this jade pendant was originally a pair, but what she didn't know was that this jade pendant that Qi Yungu had been looking for for three years was actually on Luo Shaoyuan's body.

He Yan looked at Qi Yungu's trembling hands and felt that something was wrong, and when she looked at the disbelief in Qi Yungu's eyes again, it confirmed her uneasiness!

On the outskirts of the garrison, several young men on horseback were approaching, but one of them was slowly falling behind.

Liu Houxin, who was in the lead, looked at his right side, and Yuan Cheng, who was originally following him to his right, was gone.

Following Liu Houxin, Yuan Rong reminded him: "People are behind!" ”

Liu Houxin then looked back and really saw Yuan Cheng who was alone.

"How did he fall behind?"

"I guess I don't want to go back."

"Why is that?"

Yuan Rong didn't answer Liu Houxin's question this time, and said directly: "When you should know, you will naturally know!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Yuan Rong still didn't answer, kicked the horse's belly, and let the horse under his crotch trot.

Liu Houxin saw that Yuan Rong was about to run, so he hurriedly chased after him: "What to run, answer my question first!" ”

As Yuan Rong and Liu Houxin both ran away, the distance between Yuan Cheng and the team was longer.

Yuan Cheng looked at the stationing place he was slowly approaching, and muttered in his heart: It's been a few days, and that girl hasn't moved, I don't know what she's thinking!

On the mountain road, Luo Shaoyuan and the others, who turned back to the mountain, all lowered their heads and looked at the feet and walked up, and some people went to remove the weeds on the side of the road, as if they were looking for something.

Luo Shaoyuan stood on the side of the road, rubbed the back of his neck that was a little sore, and asked Qingluo, "Did you find it?" ”

Qingluo, who was pulling the grass with a small wooden stick, replied, "Not yet." ”

"It's weird, where is it?"

Fan Ruojiao walked to Luo Shaoyuan's side and comforted: "It's okay, cousin Shaoyuan, let's look for it again, we will definitely find it." ”

Luo Shaoyuan barely squeezed out a smile, looked at the stone steps with a thin layer of snow, and said wistfully: "Forget it, it must be that I have no relationship with the jade, so it lost itself." ”

Luo Shaoyuan said and looked back at Fan Ruojiao: "Since we can't find it, let's go back, we don't have to let everyone freeze for a stone." ”

"Is Miss Luo looking for this?"

This low and cold tone made Luo Shaoyuan a little afraid to look back.

Qingluo looked at the phoenix-patterned jade pendant in Qi Yungu's hand, and was so happy that she forgot the etiquette, and actually replied for Luo Shaoyuan: "Yes, that's it!" ”

Qingluo was so happy that she responded, but before she could finish, she muttered. Because at this time, Qi Yungu was holding the phoenix pattern jade pendant in his right hand, and he was also holding the dragon pattern jade pendant in his left hand.

Qingluo looked at the jade pendant in Qi Yungu's left hand, and muttered: "Hey, the prince also has one, could it be that the prince is what Master Shouhui said, and is a destined person of my young lady?" ”

Luo Shaoyuan heard Qingluo's words, and immediately looked back at the jade pendant in Qi Yungu's hand.

Because the dragon pattern jade pendant was held in Qi Yungu's hand, Luo Shaoyuan didn't see the pattern of the jade pendant, but the color and shape, Luo Shaoyuan could see it clearly, it was indeed the same as his own jade pendant.

"No, this is not the jade pendant of the young kite!"

Luo Shaoyuan denied it.

Why did Luo Shaoyuan deny it, Qingluo was not white: "Why did Miss ......?"

"The weather is a little cold, if the prince has no other instructions, the young kite will retire first!"

Luo Shaoyuan interrupted Qingluo's words, then said goodbye to Qi Yungu, and took Fan Ruojiao and the others down the mountain.

"Miss?"

Qingluo is not yin and white, why did Luo Shaoyuan hurry down the mountain, but Luo Shaoyuan did not answer her.

Qi Yungu looked at Luo Shaoyuan's distant back, his heart was mixed, and he clutched a pair of jade pendants in his hands.

Why is the jade pendant that he and Yuan Yi have been looking for in Luo Shaoyuan's hands? Her maid said it was hers, why did she deny it? What's going on with the destined person in the girl's mouth?

He Yan, who came down together after Qi Yungu, looked at the jade pendant in Qi Yungu's hand, and the hatred that had been suppressed for the past few days suddenly came to his heart. Prince Mu, who he thinks about day and night, is going to be seduced away by Luo Shaoyuan with a jade pendant?

The snow had just fallen into the grass, as if it hadn't fallen at all.

Lin Yueying, who came out to relax, came around and sat on the edge of the teaching field, watching others shoot arrows with bows or ride horses.

"I heard that Miss Lin was infected with the wind cold, and now it seems that Miss Lin is almost better?"

Looking at Lin Yueying, who was stunned in the distance, she looked for prestige, and saw a girl about her age walking towards her.

Lin Yueying stood up: "I don't know if this girl is ......"

The girl sat beside Lin Yueying and motioned for her to sit down.

Lin Yueying didn't know who this girl was, but since the girl was invited, she couldn't refuse, so she sat down.

The girl looked at Lin Yueying and smiled slightly: "I'm Feng Xizhi, Miss Lin can call me Xizhi." ”

"Feng Xizhi ......"

Lin Yueying repeated Feng Xizhi's words, and said: "Miss Feng's surname is really rare, Yueying has been back in the imperial capital for nearly a year, and she has never heard of a family with the surname Feng. ”

"A few years ago, my grandmother died in the family, and Xizhi followed her father back to her ancestral home to guard her grandmother's spirit, and only returned to the imperial capital at the end of August, and it was normal for Miss Lin not to hear of it."

"Then I don't know where the honorable official is? What do you call it? ”

"It doesn't matter to Miss Lin what his father's official position is and what he calls it."

"The Wind Girl......"

"You don't have to be vigilant, I'm just idle and having nothing to do with the girl!"

Feng Xizhi spoke, saying one sentence and leaving one sentence, Lin Yueying couldn't figure out her thoughts.

Feng Xizhi asked, "I heard that Miss Lin got into a fight with the lord of Lilan County two days ago, why?" ”

Lin Yueying didn't know what Feng Xizhi wanted to get from her, but what everyone knew, she felt that there was no need to hide it: "It's nothing, it's just that Yueying is reckless, and I can't see her bullying people!" ”

"Wouldn't it be a blessing to be able to meet Miss Lin?"

"The wind girl praised it falsely, the moon is just a reckless ability!"

"So, the people next to Miss Lin must be very tired!"

"Feng Xizhi!"

Feng Xizhi's words turned suddenly, so that Lin Yueying couldn't answer, and this sudden shout made Lin Yueying not pay attention to Feng Xizhi's extraneous voice at all.

Lin Yueying looked for prestige, only to see Yuan Cheng striding over not far away, and he was followed by three sons of the same age as him.

Yuan Cheng called Feng Xizhi's name, did he know Feng Xizhi?

Yuan Cheng walked up to Feng Xizhi and asked her, "What are you doing pestering Yueying with nothing?" ”

Regarding Yuan Cheng's questioning, Feng Xizhi didn't think so, stood up unhurriedly, and simply tidied up her skirt: "Passing by here, I happened to see Miss Lin, so I came over to say hello." ”

"Coincidentally? You? You have so many eyes in your heart, you say it's a coincidence, who believes it? ”

"Believe it or not!"

After Feng Xizhi finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Yuan Cheng, and after nodding her head to say hello to Liu Houxin and the others, she opened her legs and left.

Yuan Cheng didn't hold back, and snorted disdainfully towards Feng Xizhi's back before greeting Lin Yueying.

Lin Yueying had already stood up before Yuan Cheng and Feng Xizhi were talking.

After Lin Yueying responded to Yuan Cheng, she was about to salute the few sons behind Yuan Cheng, but was stopped by Yuan Cheng: "They are all their own brothers, you don't have to be polite to them." ”

"That being said, there must be proper etiquette!"

Lin Yueying bent her knees slightly as she spoke: "Yueying has seen several sons. ”

Liu Houxin saw that Yuan Cheng was so familiar with Lin Yueying, so he made Yuan Cheng happy: "Look at what Yuan Cheng means, you are very familiar with Miss Lin!" Introducing? ”

Liu Houxin's words made Lin Yueying smart.

Now, in this group of people, only she Lin Yueying is an outsider!

However, Yuan Cheng didn't notice this, and introduced Lin Yueying and several sons to each other.

The three sons are Liu Yehui's eldest son Liu Houxin, Yuan Cheng's cousin Yuan Rong, and Feng Xizhi's elder brother Feng Xizheng.

Liu Houxin looked at Lin Yueying in front of him, but he thought of Yuan Yi in his heart, and even he felt ridiculous.

Now the people next to Yuan Cheng are either Yuan Cheng's brothers or close relatives, Lin Yueying didn't want to cause trouble to Yuan Cheng, so she panicked and said that she was tired, and Yuan Cheng couldn't keep it, so she could only agree to her going back.

Yuan Cheng looked at Lin Yueying's figure that was gradually moving away, and he felt regret and reluctance in his heart, but he also noticed the green silk hanging randomly behind Lin Yueying.

Where is the flower that Lin Yueying wore in the past?

Lin Yueying had already gone away, but Yuan Cheng's eyes were still on Lin Yueying, so Yuan Rong came up and teased him: "Don't look at it, people have already gone away!" ”

Yuan Rong's words interrupted Yuan Cheng's thoughts.

Liu Houxin also came up to surround Yuan Cheng: "I've always wanted to ask you, when Lin Yuelang was poisoned, Miss Lin went to you to ask for red ginseng, and Mrs. Yuan said to borrow it; I also heard that when she moved to a new house, you also went to the feast; I saw your attitude just now, and I'm afraid it won't be a day or two since I got to know each other. ”

Regarding Liu Houxin's sudden question, Yuan Cheng was a little embarrassed to answer: "Just friends, friends." ”

Feng Xizheng also came around: "You are friends with her, this is really a strange thing!" ”
