Qingrong returned home, it was lunchtime, Lu Wenzhong was not at home, Qingrong and Siniang didn't have the heart to eat, so they ate some noodles with the Wang family at random.

Qingrong briefly talked about going to the Guogong Mansion today, but did not mention the matter of Lord Ming in front of the Wang family. After Siniang finished eating, she took her down and asked, "Don't you plan to talk to me about your affairs with the county lord?" ”

"County Lord?" Siniang knew what Qingrong must have known, and she said cautiously: "Sister, you know?" ”

Qingrong said: "How do I know? It's just that I went to the Guogong Mansion today, but I met the county lord, and she was embarrassed by me, and I had never seen her, which was very strange. No wonder you have been hiding in your house these days, and you don't want to go out with me today. Did you know you were in trouble? ”

Siniang became anxious when she heard this, "Did she embarrass you?" Sister, what did she do to you! ”

Qingrong said: "I didn't do anything, but just said a few words." Don't you worry, don't you tell me carefully, how did you get married with her? ”

Siniang got up from the bed in a hurry, and refuted: "Sister, you have wronged me by saying this, where is the bond between me and her, obviously she misunderstood me." I told you before that I had a quarrel with that Xue Yan, but I didn't expect him to be stimulated, and he refused to marry if he wanted to join the army wholeheartedly, but the county lord thought that I confused Xue Yan and ruined her marriage. I explained it, but she didn't believe it. ”

"There is such a thing!" Qingrong didn't expect it, no wonder the county lord of Naming looked angry when he saw her. Qingrong had to ask again, but Siniang said that Qingrong didn't have to worry too much, she already had a way to solve the matter. Seeing this, Qingrong could only say a few more words.

When she first came to Lingbao Temple, Qingrong still felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't expect that in just these days, she had already come here several times.

Mrs. Wei said vaguely in the Guogong Mansion that day, and she didn't know whether this matter was serious for Xue Shao or not, she was not familiar with Mrs. Wei, and she didn't want to ask much, but there seemed to be no one else to ask. This matter about Xue Shao made her feel entangled and contradictory for a long time, and Qingrong thought about it, but decided to ask that person to meet.

The meditation room of Lingbao Temple is not only used for monks to rest, but also can be lent to dignitaries and dignitaries to meet guests. If Qingrong is based on his identity, he naturally can't borrow it, but Master Kongshan is kind enough to hear that Qingrong wants to meet the distinguished guest, so he borrows the meditation room to her. Even though Xue Shao did not have the habit of worshipping the Buddha, he grew up in Yongcheng and would not be ignorant of these things. Therefore, when he knew that Qing Rong sent a letter to the meditation room of Lingbao Temple, he was also a little surprised, but he was more happy in his heart.

Xue Shao came to the door of the meditation room, and Qingrong's two maids were already waiting outside the door. Xue Shao was a little nervous in her heart, the last time she saw her, she had the heart to avoid herself, although he was disappointed, he didn't want to force her, but why did he take the initiative to see him this time?

He felt a little nervous in his heart, and when he entered the meditation room, he saw Qingrong standing in the meditation room. She is wearing a blue breast-length skirt today, a beige cape, and a white jade hairpin on her head, which reflects her posture.

Qingrong saluted him, Xue Shao looked away and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"In order to ask the general about something, did the general be implicated in returning to the city at that time?" As if afraid that he would hide something, she was a little paranoid, "I want to hear the truth." ”

Xue Shao stared at her for a while, his expression still indifferent, "Yes." ”

"Is this also because of this why the general didn't go to the Western Expedition?"

"Yes."

Qingrong's mouth was numb for a while, it turned out that she was really blocking his way. After a while, she muttered, "I really owe the general a lot. ”

Xue Shao looked at her eyes, not wanting her to feel guilty about it, he said word by word: "Debt? I only know that I am willing, not reluctant, and if I am willing, how can you ever owe me? ”

Her heart suddenly paused, like the bell and drum in the temple, just a knock, but the aftermath lingered, around the beam... Qingrong smiled lightly, she thought, he always knows how to make people feel guilty. From the first meeting, he always was...

Qingrong still turned the conversation back, "That day, the general ordered that no one should be allowed to mention the events of that night again, but it was still revealed, could it be that someone was behind it?" ”

Since Qingrong asked, Xue Shao replied with something, and she said: "Li Wu is a member of General Li's family of Ying Guogong, and he has had a suspicion with my family before, this time the matter is not small, he is dead, the Li family will naturally not know, and if you want to hide it, you can't hide it." What's more, I did dispose of him, and since I did, I don't intend to hide it. My family felt that I was at a loss first, so they spared me the opportunity to go on this expedition and let someone replace me, so as to calm the anger of the Li family, and did not want to make trouble in front of the palace. At the end, he suddenly added, "Then Li Wu is not a good person, I disposed of him, and it is not considered to hurt the innocent, so there is no other punishment." ”

Qingrong nodded, and the burden in his heart was also lifted, at least not to the point where it was difficult to save.

Seeing that she was a little relieved, Xue Shao suddenly felt a little dazzling, he couldn't help but feel lost in his heart, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and under the background of his cold and hard appearance, he looked extremely lonely. "I understand what you're worried about, you want to know how I'm doing. It's just that I don't want to be ashamed of me, I'm afraid that we won't be able to draw a clear line, and there will be entanglements. ”

When Qingrong heard this, his eyes were full of disbelief, how could he think so? She was indeed afraid of injuring him, but not because she was afraid of entangled with him again. She didn't understand, "Whatever you think, I'm just telling you that I didn't think so." ”

He asked, "So what do you think?" ”

Qingrong was angry, but he felt that he was worrying too much! Her face sank, "The general is kind to me, I'm just worried, but I don't want the general to misunderstand my intentions." Since the general has said so, I can leave with peace of mind and don't have to worry about anything to do with the general. ”

After Qingrong finished speaking, he saluted and went out the door. Xue Shao knew that she was angry and wanted to stop her, so he reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Don't you know the difference between men and women?" Qingrong wanted to break away, but accidentally let the sleeves turn over the teacup. Ah Zhen and Song Yue outside heard the movement and hurriedly asked, "Sanniang?" ”

Qingrong glared at Xue Shao, broke away from his hand, and said outward, "It's okay." As he spoke, he was about to bend down to pick up the broken teacup, but Xue Shao hurriedly stopped her when he saw this, and said in a low voice, "I'll come." ”

When the fingers touched, I could feel the warmth of the other person's palm, and I took my hand back with a clear face. She really didn't understand him, she misunderstood her when she was right, but now she is like this? She said coldly: "The general is like this, it is unreasonable. ”

Xue Shao stared at her, motionless, although he saw her cold face, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart, "You... Angry? "Because of him?

Qingrong knew that he was really unhappy in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it in front of him, so he said stiffly: "The general's words are serious, what the general says is what the general thinks, what others think, how can I care?" Don't worry about it, what does the general think, this is the general's business, why should I be angry? ”

This remark made Xue Shao speechless, he was clumsy, and he couldn't refute her, but he didn't think to refute her words. She lowered her eyes and glanced at Xue Shao's inexplicably aggrieved look, and said lightly: "Just put it here, I will explain to the mage later, I will leave first." ”

So, he was left alone in the meditation room, he was not stupid, he knew that he was annoying her. She was angry and reasonable, but she seemed to be a little unreasonable... It is better for him not to know what to do.

Today is not the fifteenth day of the new year, and there are not many people in the temple. Qingrong walked out of the meditation room and walked to the front hall, and along the way, this mood gradually calmed down, and Shicai himself was indeed a little rude. She actually understood, but she couldn't help it, for some reason, she was always so prone to emotional ups and downs in front of him...

When you go to the main hall, you will see the emptiness here. She didn't know that the empty silence was in the front hall where she came before, and she also saw Xue Shao enter the meditation room.

Qingrong saluted him and said with a smile: "Mage." ”

The empty heart that had just hung in the air calmed down at the moment she appeared. He returned the salute, and seeing that her expression was the same, he finally couldn't help it, and asked more: "Is this General Xue the distinguished guest in Sanniang's mouth?" ”

Qingrong nodded, feeling that the mage was often in the temple, and it was common for him to know some dignitaries. She said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, the master kindly lent me the meditation room, but I accidentally knocked over the tea cup, and I ask the master to forgive me." ”

Empty silence said gently: "It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter, Sanniang doesn't have to worry about not going." Sanniang is here today, but do you want incense? ”

Qingrong nodded, took the incense in Kong's hand, closed his eyes, and devoted himself to worshipping the Buddha, which can be regarded as calming his mind. Looking at her with a calm expression, he silently withdrew his gaze, and wondered if she could ask for something? What would she ask for? "Can Sanniang ask for something?"

She thought for a moment and laughed at herself: "People in the world worship the Buddha, all of them ask for it, and so do I." It's just that everyone has something to ask for, and not everyone can get what they want, and the gods and Buddhas don't care about what the world wants. ”

"Amitabha, life is not perfect, and everything cannot be done, it is common sense."

Qingrong chuckled lightly and said slowly: "If you don't follow people's feelings, it will only increase your sadness." In my opinion, it should be man-made, and what is requested can be answered. ”

The silence paused, smiled again, and shook his head: "If you are good at protecting your thoughts and stopping your desires, how can you be sad?" ”

"Pure heart and few desires naturally have a lot less worries, but people are born with desires, seek for desires, and make a difference, isn't it common sense? In fact, this is all in one mind, and I think there is no right or wrong. A little humble opinion, let the mage laugh. ”

From the day I first saw her, I was not surprised to hear her speak and know that she would have her own opinions. He didn't completely agree, but he felt that what she said made some sense, shook his head and said softly: "It's just that everyone expresses their opinions, which is also very good, since Sanniang is willing to say, the poor monk is very willing to listen." As Sanniang said, there is no right or wrong in this. ”

Qingrong smiled deeper and nodded, "The mage is indeed a cultivator, and talking to the mage can always make people feel calm." ”

Kong Lin looked at her smiling face, slightly stunned, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, it turned out that it was difficult for him to even calm down with her?

She was talking goodbye to the mage and preparing to leave, not paying attention to the tall man standing not far behind her, and naturally she didn't see his dark face.
