Chapter Twenty-Three: Jealousy

This poem obviously looked down on the weak scholar, Lu Tingxuan's face turned red after hearing it, and he was very angry: "Your Excellency is inevitably biased, if the scholar is useless, who can govern the country?" ”

Gu Qingzhang smiled mockingly: "Then why don't you put pen to paper now, go to the battlefield and see if you will be scared away?" ”

He rarely spoke so sharply and spicy, Lin Chonghan tugged at his sleeve with a headache, signaling him to restrain himself, blindly offending these students and scholars is not beneficial, but it makes him fishy.

Seeing that Lu Tingxuan's anger was even heavier, Lin Chonghan hurriedly spoke: "This Langjun, we have something to leave first today, and we are out of company." ”

Lu Tingxuan didn't expect her to know this rude reckless man, and he was embarrassed to quarrel anymore, for fear of embarrassing his sweetheart.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingzhang still didn't give up: "What, I said you can't come back?" If you're brave, you should go to the border. ”

"Gu Qingzhang!" Lin Chonghan's face sank, and his expression became as cold as frost, "It is strictly forbidden to make loud noises in the bookstore, you should be quiet." ”

She was right, there was silence in the bookstore, and few people spoke loudly. Although the three of them deliberately lowered their voices, they still attracted a lot of attention.

Gu Qingzhang also realized that he was too out of shape, so he stubbornly said: "What the county lord said is right, it is the rude of Benhou." ”

After speaking, he didn't go to see Lin Chonghan, and left the bookstore directly.

Looking at his back, Lin Chonghan realized with a headache that Gu Qingzhang was probably really angry.

*

Three quarters of the hour

Lin Chonghan sat in the courtyard and enjoyed the scenery, the whole small courtyard illuminated by the lanterns hanging under the eaves was hazy, and there were many snacks and delicacies on the stone table, as well as a glass of wine and two wine glasses.

As soon as Gu Qingzhang climbed over the wall and jumped off the wall, he went straight to meet her eyes.

Gu Qingzhang: ......

Ning Anhou climbed the wall and was caught by the party, he was not annoyed, but patted the ashes on his body, and walked in front of Lin Chonghan with a box of snacks openly.

"No, taste," he smiled pleasantly, "the wine-brewed balls of the West Market." I had people buy it and simmer it on the stove, and it's still hot. ”

Lin Chonghan didn't answer.

Not only did she not answer, but she was also weird: "The appearance of the Hou Ye pointing out the country is really magnificent, and the lord of this county should propose to His Majesty that the newly released Jinshi go to the border pass this time." ”

"Chonghan, you spare me," he whispered weakly, "If that's the case, it's no wonder that those literati don't scold me to death." ”

Gu Qingzhang put down the wine-brewed balls, and after sitting down on the stone bench, he noticed with sharp eyes that there were two wine glasses on the table.

"You know I'm coming tonight?"

Lin Chonghan opened the lacquer box and took out the wine-stuffed balls: "I don't know, this is the cup prepared for Mei Niang." ”

"Mei Niang?"

Gu Qingzhang tugged at it from his memory, and suddenly realized: "Oh, your cousin." ”

"That's right," Lin Chonghan tasted the balls, although the taste was not as good as the freshly baked, but it was not bad, "It's my cousin." My cousin Lin Ziqiu was going to participate in the Spring Festival, so he brought her over with him. ”

She took a few bites and put the spoon down.

"Since you know that they will scold you, you still dare to say such things to that scholar today?"

Gu Qingzhang smiled: "Impulsive." ”

He also knew that what he was doing was wrong, and since returning to Beijing, he has been cautious and cautious, never daring to take a wrong step.

In today's bookstore, he also knew that he was wrong after calming down, so he cheekily climbed over the wall to make amends.

Lin Chonghan poured him wine and asked, "Today you took the initiative to provoke, not the scholar's fault." What's going on, is there something wrong with that scholar? ”

Gu Qingzhang faced her puzzled eyes, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Countless thoughts poured into Gu Qingzhang's mind, because this reason was too unreasonable, his first reaction was to make up a reason to prevaricate.

But he soon realized: this was a good opportunity.

"There's nothing wrong with a scholar," he knew that Lin Chonghan ate soft rather than hard, and deliberately showed weakness, "I just watched you talk to him about Taihuan, and I didn't feel angry." ”

Lin Chonghan was stunned, and she subconsciously explained: "I only have a one-sided relationship with him, and what we talk about only involves poetry and songs." ”

Her attitude softened, and Gu Qingzhang was about to hit the snake with a stick: "I know that you are not very familiar with him, but the way the scholar looks at you is clearly no different from the way I look at you." ”

As he spoke, he actually wronged himself: "We have been separated for five years, it is inevitable that my face will age, and your heart for me will no longer be as ...... as before."

Lin Chonghan's expression changed from unbelievable to unreasonable to gradually numb: ......

She looked Gu Qingzhang up and down, and it was difficult to connect the lowly man in front of her with Ning Anhou, who was in the Momo Pavilion before, and was full of spirit to regain the lost territory and ask to marry her.

Gu Qingzhang, does he still have a face?

Gu Qingzhang: Of course not

Five years ago, because he cared too much about his identity and his image in Lin Chonghan's eyes, he never revealed their friendship to his parents and relatives, causing Lin Chonghan to marry someone else.

Five years later, he saw Lin Chonghan talking happily with a handsome little white face, and the admiration in the little white face's eyes couldn't wait to overflow directly.

Gu Qingzhang was really jealous and scared.

"Chonghan," he got up and squatted in front of the other party, looking at her seriously, "you don't like him, okay?" ”

Lin Chonghan didn't dare to look at him at first, his ears were red: "I met him by chance, and I can't talk about the relationship between men and women." ”

Gu Qingzhang was overjoyed, and wanted to say something more, when suddenly there was a coughing sound from under the corridor.

The two of them looked up together in a panic, and looked at Lin Wushuang, who was wrapped in a big coat, and the other party turned to the side tightly: "It's dark and heavy outside at night, if my cousin has something, why don't you come in and talk?" ”

"No need."

Gu Qingzhang stood up, he greeted Lin Wushuang as usual, and then left over the wall in a chic manner.

Lin Chonghan looked at his cousin's gaze, walked forward quickly, and brought Lin Wushuang into the house.

She was frozen by Lin Wushuang's hand, and frowned: "You also know that the night is heavy and heavy, so you don't have to add more clothes?" ”

Lin Wushuang asked with bright eyes: "That one was Gu Houye just now, right?" ”

"Cousin, you are Yingying now," her thinking continued to diverge, "Master Hou is Zhang Shengβ€”don't stare at my cousin, I will help you keep it secret!" ”

Lin Chonghan ignored her.

When Lin Wushuang took off her clothes and went to bed, she was still nestled in the warm quilt chattering and chattering, planning how to help her cousin get true love.

- As a result, as she spoke, she fell asleep unconsciously.

Looking at her sleeping face, Lin Chonghan smiled.

At this time, there was a sudden movement in the courtyard outside, Lin Chonghan thought it was a wild cat from somewhere, she walked over and opened the door, and found that there was an extra fist-sized stone in the courtyard.

She stepped forward to pick up the stone and found that it was wrapped in a piece of paper, Lin Chonghan opened the paper and looked at it, and found that a small person was drawn with charcoal on it.

The villain carried the thorn strip on his back, held up a bowl of wine-stuffed balls with both hands, looked pitiful as if begging for mercy, and wrote eight words next to him: "Bear the thorn and ask for the guilt, the county lord has a lot." ”

Lin Chonghan didn't hold back, pursed his lips and smiled.
