Chapter 30: Believe
"What are you doing standing outside?"
Tall figures came from afar.
Pei Mingshi is dressed very eye-catching today, with a red curved collar shirt, and a plain white straight-necked placket embroidered with a gold thread phoenix tail on the outside, which neutralizes the flamboyant aura between overlapping, bright and incomprehensible, and nobilizes people who dare not look directly.
Xi Lan went to see Ah Candle for the first time.
Sure enough!
She opened her mouth slightly, and looked at Pei Mingshi without blinking.
I'm going to drool!!
Xi Lan went to see his brother again, I don't know if there is a candle to compare, but the amazement in his brother's eyes made Xi Lan breathe a sigh of relief.
It's okay, it's okay.
My brother wasn't as uncompetitive as she was.
Song Zhizhi took Ah Candle's hand and reminded in a low voice, "Ah Candle." ”
Ah Candle came back to his senses, his cheeks were slightly red because of his shortness of breath, although he was already very restrained, his eyes were bright as if there was light, and he was still reluctant to take his eyes off Pei Mingshi's face.
The princess is so pretty! She thought to herself.
When the princess arrived, the four people present all performed the bow.
She didn't move, and seemed to smile.
"There's no need to be polite here."
asked the people in the old lady Song's courtyard again, "Hasn't the wai man gotten up yet?" ”
As he was talking, he opened the door, and the little boy who followed the old lady Song said crisply: "The old gentleman invites a few people in." ”
Pei Mingshi was the first to go in, followed closely by Ah Candle and Song Zhizhi, Xi Zhao and the two brothers walked last, Xi Lan was not at ease, pulled his brother's sleeve, and confirmed again and again: "Big brother can't lie to me, leave after saying goodbye." ”
I don't know if I wait a while, I will be grabbed by Mrs. Song and pulled the weeds.
Xi Lan doesn't want to live this kind of day for a moment!
Xi Zhao blinked, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and said, "Naturally." ”
Xi Lan breathed a sigh of relief. He was disturbed by last night's dream, Ah Candle in the dream was a little taller than now, lying on the desk to sleep, and his brother and Pei Mingshi were sitting next to him drinking tea.
Probably taking care of Ah Candle who was asleep, the two occasionally talked softly.
Pei Mingshi asked her brother to think about it before making a decision, she didn't want a hot-headed, hot-blooded young man, she was surrounded by an abyss, and if she made a mistake, she would never recover, and she still had to hesitate from a poor background, but Xi Zhao was different, he was born as the pride of the sky and cultivated as an heir.
Even fools know how to choose.
The elder brother was a fool, and he nodded without blinking: "I believe in Your Highness." ”
What do you believe in her!!
Xi Lan was so angry that he wanted to stomp on the floor, and saw Pei Mingshi's woman poking Ah Candle's red face while discussing things with Xi Zhao.
But no matter what Pei Mingshi says, Xi Zhao is one word
- "Good".
What a good!
Ah Candle was still angry with Xi Lan, but she couldn't help but look at him. found that he didn't have a good face and didn't like to talk, and he always looked at Princess Mingshi with the eyes of a tooth woman, as if he was sick.
Suddenly, she heard someone shouting to herself, and she hurriedly raised her head, and saw the old man sitting behind the desk looking at her with a smile.
"I know that Xi Erlang is handsome, but the little lady should not keep staring at him."
One sentence blushed the two people, Song Yuyou was not satisfied, and added, "When the old man was young, he was much better looking than him." ”
Since the death of the queen, the Duke of Song has resigned and lived in seclusion. Ah Candle thought he was an extremely serious old man, but he didn't expect it...... Pretty cute?
Ah Candle held on, pretending not to blush, and said with a smile: "There is no basis for what you say, you go to the beautiful hair first, let me see the true face of Lushan." ”
Song Yu's hair is like silver thread, with beautiful hair, and a wide-sleeved robe, like a crane wanting to fly, and his temperament is extraordinary.
It seems to be two people who said "bad things" about Ah Zhu yesterday and called Xi Lan to hoe the ground.
"That's not going to happen." Song Yu smiled, lit a candle in the air, and said, "Promote the narrow child, and don't beat the old man's beard." ”
Seeing that he was not angry, Ah Candle boldly said, "Can you touch it?" ”
It was the first time she had seen such a long haircut, and her eyes couldn't help but shine and stick to it.
Song Yu pretended not to hear, pushed the brewed tea in front of Xi Zhao, and said to Xi Lan, who was blushing and pretending to be calm: "Shaoxu still has to stay in this period of time, if Xi Erlang doesn't dislike the humble house, stay together and stay for a few more days." ”
“???”
Xi Lan was still in a mess for Ah Candle peeking at him, but when he heard this, he instantly became vigilant, looked at his brother, and signaled him to mention the matter of resignation quickly.
Xi Zhao pretended not to see it, smiled slightly, and said with tea: "Shaochi naturally wants to join me and take advantage of the teacher every day." ”
Xi Lan: "......"
Shock and anger were mixed with a hint of expected frustration.
So much so that he calmly and eerily accepted this indisputable fact.
He knew that his brother's elbow was turned out!
Forget it, forget it.
Xi Lan could only comfort himself, there was always another way, he would definitely be able to break up his brother and Pei Mingshi, and let his brother know the true face of this woman.
Song Yu said to Ah Candle and Song Zhizhi: "In the future, I will come to the old man's house every hour to practice calligraphy and endorsement, and when His Royal Highness arrives, the old man will teach together." ”
He pointed to the two Xi Zhao brothers again, so that the students were not relentless, and said with a smile: "If you don't understand, just ask the two Langjun of the Xi family." ”
Xi Zhao smiled.
Xi Lan's face was expressionless.
Pei Mingshi, who has only been drinking tea by himself since he came in, saw that Song Yu said about the same, so he got down to business: "My cousin is only a weak crown year, is it too impulsive for Wai Weng to ask him to take the initiative to ask to be released in that poor and remote place?" ”
As mentioned earlier, Mrs. Song has two sons and three daughters. The eldest son stayed by his side, and Yu Jingzhong held a small official position, and he had quite an insight into the art of alchemy, and he could speak well, which was very much in line with His Majesty's wishes; The second son joined the government at the beginning of the year, but under the command of Song Yu, he took the initiative to ask to be released as a small county order in a remote place.
Song Yu smiled faintly: "That kind of place is the only place to exercise people." ”
Exercising people?
I'm afraid it's right to eat people.
Xi Lan looked away coldly. Compared with Pei Mingshi, the old and refined Song Yu is more hypocritical, so he doesn't like either.
The room was quiet for a moment, Song Yu took the book to Ah Candle, and asked her to read it herself, and if she didn't understand, she could ask Qi Niang or Xi Lan. Then send them out to hug the building to play.
Song Zhizhi saw Xi Lan's cold face, his heart was stunned, and he felt that Ah Candle had something to say to him, so he went back to the room first under the pretext of changing clothes.
Here in Song Yu, she didn't even dare to take a sip of tea.
Ah Candle lowered her head and spread out the bamboo slips seriously, and found that it was the content of children's enlightenment, and she was so angry that she grinded her teeth.
Who does this look down on?
Xi Lan looked at her silently, as if he really couldn't stand the atmosphere, and said coldly for a long time: "It's not right for me to lie to you, but you don't really want to help me." ”
Ah Candle looked up, so what?
Xi Lan straightened his waist and said, "We're even." ”
Ah Candle stopped, "Why didn't I really help you?" ”
If she was really like what he said, she wouldn't be so angry after knowing that the noble girl in his mouth was Pei Mingshi.
"It's obvious that you're stupid, and you can't do this thing."
Xi Lan was enraged by the disdain in her tone, and said, "The way is what you taught, can you still do it better than me?" ”
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a better way?" ”
Ah Candle looked surprised, what did he think? Is it so easy for her to look at it?
Xi Lan pretended to be nothing, "I'll ask casually." ”
Ah Zhu wanted to say that you died of that heart, but after thinking about it, he couldn't be so cheap, and said deliberately: "Shen Gong's hair is delicate and shiny, and it is easy to touch when you look at it." ”
Xi Lan didn't know why, seeing that her eyes were shining, she suddenly thought that she was looking at Shen Yu's beautiful hair just now, and she was eager to try.
He thought to himself, how can an old man be so good-looking?
But Ah Candle finally spoke to him calmly, and Xi Lan echoed: "It's really good." ”
Ah Candle said regretfully: "It's a pity, I don't touch it." ”
Xi Lan thought of this old man who was used to coaxing people, and thought of the good granddaughter he had carefully cultivated, his heart was full of malice, and he quietly instigated: "Shen Gong will take a nap after lunch every day, and there is no one in the house, why don't we go and cut a few roots together?" ”
Ah Candle snorted and said, "You go." If it succeeds, I'll help you get on with it. "That's weird!
Ah Candle hopes that Song Yu will hang Xi Lan up and beat him!
Xi Lan: "......"
He didn't dare.
The elder brother worshipped Song Gong as a teacher when he was a child, and he came with him several times, knowing that Song Yu regarded the beautiful hair that had been grown for many years as more important than his life, and he was distressed to lose one on weekdays, let alone be cut.
If he dares to do it, his brother will dare to break his leg.
Song Yu is deaf and clear-sighted, and Rao is far away, and he can hear them talking.
He sighed faintly, it was really not a family, and he didn't enter a family.
"Your cousin's affairs are considered by the old man, so don't worry." Song Yu had already passed it, that kid had a hard life, whoever died he would be fine, and he would not be suitable for such a place.
He has made up his mind, and it is useless for anyone to speak.
Pei Mingshi had no choice but to divert the topic and put forward a few words about the current situation, Song Yu said: "You have a plan in your heart, and the old man won't say much." ”
Xi Zhao made tea for the two of them, and said softly: "Teacher, Your Highness, please." ”
Song Yu took a sip of tea and said, "Erlang of the Xue clan in Bingzhou is coming back." Look, he's not in the pool, he's focused on it. ”
Leaving such a sentence, Song Yu got up and went to change his clothes, deliberately leaving a chance to be alone.
Pei Mingshi said lightly: "Xi Shaoxu, you shouldn't stay." ”
Song Yu people are old and fine, how can they not see the affection hidden in the sparkling eyes of the young man?
Crape myrtle stars already exist, but there are still few left and right.
Xi Zhao is one of them.
"The teacher and disciple are not only one of His Royal Highness, don't you even have the opportunity to serve one or two? His Royal Highness is too domineering. He shook his head.
Pei Mingshi frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You know what I want to say......"
Xi Zhao raised the tea and smiled, and said, "Your Highness knows that I know, and we know each other, so why bother to ask again?" ”
Pei Mingshi was silent for a moment, and then he clinked glasses with him, and he couldn't see the slightest trace of the virtuous shyness that belonged to the noble girl in her.
She doesn't like to drink tea, but she has been with her for many years, and she is also accustomed to it.
Xi Zhao thought that she was worried about Song Erlang's affairs, although the place was poor, there were countless fields, and if it was arranged properly, she could also make some achievements.
There are even unexpected results.
"The teacher has always had no last resort, if His Royal Highness is still not at ease, I will write a letter to the county commander of the neighboring county, asking him to take care of it."
"You also said that if you have no last resort, then there will naturally be no big deal." Pei Mingshi said, she was just afraid that her aunt would not be happy in her heart, and she had two sons, one of whom was like a minister to please His Majesty, and the other was sent thousands of miles away, and she was changed to someone else, so she was afraid that it would have already started a trouble.
Xi Zhao looked at her, suddenly stretched his eyebrows, and smiled lightly.
Pei Mingshi raised his eyebrows slightly, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Xi Zhao sighed and said, "Your Highness, please believe in yourself." ”
If there is no hope, there will not be so many people willing to pay for it.
The young princess Mingshi can still say such things, and now, she should not hesitate and move forward.
Xi Zhao believed her.
"Believe what?" Xi Lan frowned and walked in, behind him was Ah Candle, who was strictly guarding him and disliked him very much, and at this moment his eyes were eager to learn and parrot and asked:
"Believe what?"
Xi Zhao: "......"
Pei Mingshi: "......"
Sometimes, younger siblings or something, it's really annoying.
At the end of the day, the two Xi Zhao brothers were asked by Song Yu to stay in the guest room, saving them more trouble running around in the future.
The eldest brother is like a father, even if Xi Lan is reluctant, he has no right to speak.
When it was time to fall asleep at night, Xi Zhao saw that Xi Lan was not leaving, and asked politely: "Although I don't mind, Shaochi, you shouldn't dare to sleep alone because you are afraid of ghosts like when you were a child...... Right? ”
Xi Lan worked on the manuscript for a long time, and all of it came to naught at this moment: "......"
He hated and thought, Pei Mingshi was really not a good thing! As soon as my brother is alone with her, he is like a brother who compares outsiders, and he can't see any conscience at all!
Xi Zhao was also very helpless. He knew that his younger brother had always disliked Princess Mingshi, but after coming to Shengjing this time, he seemed to have a deeper opinion on Princess Mingshi, although he didn't know why, but one was a person who would be loyal in the future, and the other was his own brother, Xi Zhao naturally hoped that Xi Lan could eliminate the mustard for Princess Mingshi and coexist peacefully.
Xi Lan decided that his brother was obsessed, no matter how much he said, he would only be a fart.
Xi Zhao had no choice but to kick him out of the room and leave him to fend for himself.
Xi Lan held his breath, went to bed and slept after washing, he slept well, but I don't know if it was because he saw Ah Zhu today, he dreamed of him again.
"Xi Shaochi, you talk about me again...... Bad words of our Highness, believe it or not, I beat you. ”
Xi Lan didn't believe it, sneered again and again, and even made a big fuss: "Beat me? You're not as tall as me when you stand up, and you want to beat me? ”
This was followed by a scream.
And then...... No then.
Xi Lan was really beaten.
Xi Lan woke up from the dream and subconsciously covered his left eye, the pain was real, it didn't seem to be a dream, it was more like a personal experience in the past.
Frightened, Xi Lan got up in the middle of the night, found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and thought hard, he didn't rely on anyone, he could come up with a clever plan to expose Pei Mingshi's true face!
Xi Lan grinded his teeth while writing.
Hit him...... She actually hit him!
It's just once or twice, and every time I slap my face!
It's unforgivable!
The more Xi Lan thought about it, the more angry she became, she also said that she fell in love with him at first sight, her love was deep-rooted, and she didn't make drafts when she lied! Swindler!!
If Ah Candle could hear it, he would definitely cross his waist and say: What did Ah Candle do in the last life about Ah Candle in this life?
