Chapter 16: The Cold Wind Warms Up
When Qingrong saw it clearly, he saw Su Shi looking at him meaningfully and smiling, and pushed her, "Why don't you go quickly?" After that, he consciously left the place to Xue Shao and Qingrong.
Qingrong stood motionless, she didn't expect that the Su clan had brought her to see Xue Shao. She still raised her eyes and glanced at him, it was almost December, the willows by the lake were already bald, and the sparkling water on the lake was also cold, Xue Shao was standing by the pavilion in a moon-white regular clothes, which seemed to be integrated with this winter scene.
It's not snowing yet, it's still cold outside, how long has he been standing here? Thinking of this, Qingrong still walked to his side. "I've seen the general, but I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed."
Xue Shao looked at her steadily, as if she would disappear in the blink of an eye, "TOEFL." ”
For a while, the two were speechless. Qingrong is ashamed of him, feeling embarrassed, the scene of the last dispute in the meditation room is still vivid, and now he and her are unmarried.
Xue Shao didn't know what to say. He didn't have much to do with the ladies of the back house, but this time he had the opportunity to see her thanks to the Su family.
It was Qingrong who opened her mouth first, and she was a little embarrassed, "General, you must have heard about this matter too... How do you plan to do it? Although it was a misunderstanding, you and I are helpless, but this family business is..."She wanted to explain that she had deceived the queen, but in the end she still didn't trust it, and she didn't put it on the surface.
Xue Shao interrupted her in a deep voice: "Helpless? ”
He was a little angry, and said in a muffled voice: "Actually, you don't have to tell me." ”
Qingrong was stunned for a moment, he was really angry.
Who knew that he looked at her with a pair of dark eyes and said, "But you are going to marry me, this is always true." ”
"Yes."
"If you are reluctant, how do you know that I am reluctant? Don't you understand at all? ”
Qingrong lowered his eyes and explained softly: "I know that the general may be interested in me, or he may be willing, but marriage is not a child's play, and it cannot be decided by a little feeling." What's more, the general has never said it to me personally, how can I speculate? ”
In fact, she wanted to tell Xue Shao her thoughts, but she didn't expect Xue Shao to be wrong, thinking that she hadn't expressed her intentions to her earlier. He suddenly remembered the scene when he saw her talking happily with Sora that day, and he was silent and said, "Do you remember? ”
Qingrong didn't know why, "What? ”
Xue Shao said: "You once told me that if one day I need help, you will definitely do your best and never be perfunctory." ”
Qingrong nodded, "I remember." ”
Xue Shao paused and hesitated: "Will you break your word?" ”
"No, it won't."
Xue Shao stared at her with his eyes, and said word by word: "I need you, promise, be my bride." Your business with me has never been forced on me. ”
Qingrong was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes to look at him, and couldn't help but say, "You..." She wanted to say something, but found that she didn't know what to say. If that's the case, it's better to marry him than someone else. What's more, things have come to an end now...
Xue Shao frowned slightly, "What?" Are you..."
"Nope." Qingrong shook his head, smiled at him with relief, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, in the future, please take care of the general." "Since we met here, it is not accidental to take one step at a time. If it is destined to be so, if it is a predestined number, then let it be.
He will, he will cherish her, he said to himself. Xue Shao looked at her directly, his eyes were clearly not bent, but they were full of spring, plain and breathtaking. He suddenly said for no reason: "Changxuan, it's my word." ”
Qingrong understood, and under his eager gaze, he called him, "Changxuan." Then he hurriedly lowered his head, and two red clouds burned on his cheeks.
Xue Shao only looked at him stunned, and the ink in his eyes was so thick that he couldn't dissolve. Suddenly, a cold wind blew the fine hair on Qingrong's forehead. He actually reached out to stroke her broken hair, his hands were calloused, and his palms were also hot, and when he touched the skin in front of Qingrong's forehead, Qingrong's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she took a step back.
"Hiding from what?" Unbeknownst to her, the man stretched out his hand to stop her belt forward, and his eyes met, and the two bodies were almost close to each other. He was born tall, as if shrouded in a clear face, and he was extremely oppressive. The eyes in his eyes were so hot that Qingrong didn't dare to look any further, and when he was about to turn his head, he let go of his hand and reached out to tighten the cloak on her body for her, "Beware of catching a cold." ”
His deep voice was just around the corner, and Qingrong's ears felt tingling, she hurriedly took a few steps back, widening the distance between her and him, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito fly, "Many... Thanks a lot. ”
Xue Shao wanted to stay with her for a while, but seeing that she was thin and weak, he couldn't bear her to continue to blow the cold wind, so he said, "I'll send you back." ”
Qingrong was a little dazed at the moment, and he didn't think much about it, so he responded. Song Yue and Ah Zhen were waiting for Qingrong in the corridor, and they were surprised to see Xue Shao and Qingrong coming over together, and Qingrong still had a scarlet glow on her cheeks.
But who knew that neither of them spoke, so they walked forward, they thought that Qingrong and Xue Shao had a bad conversation, otherwise why didn't anyone speak? But the two of them were surrounded by a feeling of spring water melting, and even this cold winter day was forgotten. But Qingrong is different from Xue Shao's state of mind, she only thinks that if she can explain to Xue Shao, she will not accumulate resentment in the future and have a hard time.
Xue Shao stopped when he sent Qingrong to the gate of the Su family's courtyard, Qingrong understood, and said, "Let's get here, I'll walk the road ahead." ”
Xue Shao let out a low "um", but his gaze never took off her body. After Qingrong saluted and said goodbye, he went forward, leaving only Xue Shao still standing in place and watching her go away, not even noticing when the corners of his mouth were raised.
Su Shi didn't know where to wait for Qingrong, and as soon as she came, she saw someone. Su Shi looked at her and smiled, Qingrong didn't want to say more, so he was shy and didn't speak.
Seeing Qingrong's face with shame, he didn't dare to look at himself, but he felt that this girl was thin-skinned, so he didn't say anything. After she took someone back, after lunch, she was sent home by Mama Du.
Qingrong got out of the carriage and walked on the way back to the house, Ah Zhen couldn't help but say, "Sanniang, you and Xue Langjun seem to be in a good mood today." ”
Qingrong paused slightly, "Really?" ”
Song Yue also nodded, pursed her lips and smiled: "The corners of Sanniang's mouth have never been lowered, and others can naturally see it." ”
Although Qingrong didn't mention it, the subtle atmosphere that lingered around her would still be noticeable, and even the Wang couple and Siniang were a little aware of it. This family business, although Qingrong is not voluntary, it is not excluded.
When the Wang family led the sisters to the Xue Mansion to eat the full moon wine of the Su family's youngest daughter, they also met the Lu family and Qingrong's future sisters-in-law, and they also looked at the people who were good friends, which also made them a little more relieved about this marriage.
This winter solstice is the first winter solstice after Qingrong returns home, and the Lu family is filled with a lively atmosphere. Wang said that this year's winter is warmer than last year's, and there is less snow.
Qingrong didn't know how it was before, but he felt that it was much warmer than the winter on Nanyuan Mountain. But despite this, she was still afraid of the cold, and guarded the brazier all day long, refusing to let go.
"Sister, you're too cold, you don't even go out of the door, this harsh winter season hasn't come yet, so don't you want to stay away from this brazier?" Siniang laughed at her, said this, and consciously handed over a cup of hot buttermilk to Qingrong.
Qingrong took it, took a sip, and felt warm in his body. She shook her head, "In the past few days and nights, it was Ah Zhen and the others who gave a warm basin and put it in the house, so that I could sleep more peacefully." It's snowing outside, isn't it? ”
"yes. Sister, the first winter solstice you came back from, A-Niang instructed the kitchen to make a lot of food, as well as mutton soup, you ate it to replenish your body, I heard that eating mutton on this winter solstice can drive away the cold. Siniang sat down next to Qingrong and continued: "This winter solstice, the married daughter will also go back to her parents' house for the holiday, but this time next year, Sister Ah will be different from now." ”
Qingrong stretched out his hand and tapped her forehead, and said with a smile: "What's the difference?" Isn't it your sister? ”
"Of course it always has been." Siniang pulled her and said with a smile: "Sister will get married in the future, but I have to go home to see more." ”
The fire in the brazier in the house was a little vigorous, and the smoke made people's eyes sour, Qingrong looked at her with cherishing eyes, moved in his heart, and nodded in response, "I will naturally." ”
After a while, Wang and Lu Wenzhong also entered the upper room, talking about the winter solstice should be eaten, the family talked and laughed, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to eat. This year's winter solstice, Wang also attaches great importance to it, and has prepared dried fruit pastries for the festival early, the oil collapsed, and the kitchen is still warm with wontons, suitable plates and fried dumplings, for fear that Qingrong will eat less.
"Sanniang can eat more, I see that you are always thin." Lu Wenzhong said with concern.
Wang also said, "Yes, if you don't eat more, how can you nourish your body?" You see that you are so afraid of the cold in winter, Siniang eats a lot, she is not afraid of the cold. ”
Qingrong was amused when she heard this, "Siniang is not in time for it now, it is the time to grow her body, so she naturally eats more." Ah Niang, look, I think Siniang is a little more mellow than when I came back. ”
Wang also looked at it carefully and said with relief: "Yes, it's fatter." ”
Seeing that Siniang was annoyed, Qingrong hurriedly smiled and said: "What are you afraid of, our Siniang is just a little fatter, and she is also a beauty, so it doesn't matter at all." ”
Siniang pouted and chirped, "Sister, you are used to making fun of me." ”
It's easy for the family to sit together and eat a reunion dinner, and everyone is rare to relax and feel at ease, happy and happy, so pleased. Qingrong looked outside, and the snowflakes were fluttering outside, and there was already a snow-white patch on the ground. The winter solstice has passed, which also indicates that this winter moon is coming to an end.
It has been more than a month since Mrs. Wei drew the pattern, and the dress has already been made. Mrs. Wei was very satisfied, and specially sent someone to pick up Qingrong to see the effect of the dress.
Qingrong didn't want to go out when it was freezing cold, and she was also busy with her marriage recently, but when Mrs. Wei opened her mouth, she had to go. But when she saw those dresses, she also felt that it was worth it.
I don't know what the trick is to make the patterns made out of this colorful, with these eight pairs of long skirts, it looks luxurious and elegant, and it is colorful. Qingrong didn't expect such a good effect, and she was full of praise, and the happiest was Mrs. Wei, "It seems that I asked you for help, and I really didn't think wrong." ”
"Madame really lifted me up, it is obvious that this clamp is skillful, so that I can get such a brightly patterned dress. If the lady wears it, it will definitely be a beautiful crown. Qingrong couldn't help but praise. Wei Xunyan was already coquettish and moving, and with such a luxurious and colorful dress, it really made people unable to take their eyes off.
Mrs. Wei covered her mouth and smiled: "You can talk backwards." ”
While the two were talking, Mrs. Wei's daughter Jingniang also came over. The nurse explained on the side, "The eldest lady heard that the lady invited the third mother of the Lu family to look at the dress, and she also wanted to come over to take a look." ”
Mrs. Wei looked at Jing Niang lovingly, touched her head, and said with a smile: "Little family, do you also know that you have come to see good things?" Then he pulled her and asked, "Who are you looking at, but do you remember this lady?" ”
Xiao Jingniang, who was carved in pink, looked at Qingrong, nodded with a smile, and said in a milky voice: "Remember, it's Sanniang." ”
Qingrong looked at this female doll and liked it very much, and her smile deepened, "Jing Niang is really well-behaved, she came from outside, but she was frozen?" ”
Jing Niang looked at her with a smile and shook her head, "Jing Niang is not cold, is Sanniang cold?" After speaking, he reached out to touch Qingrong's hand, as if he wanted to warm her.
Mrs. Wei and Qingrong were both amused by her somewhat clumsy movements, and Qingrong couldn't help but nod her forehead, "Our Jing Niang is really sweet, Mrs. is so blessed." ”
Mrs. Wei teased: "You don't blush, I have heard about your marriage a long time ago, after you get married, you will give birth to a daughter yourself, why envy me?" ”
Qingrong pretended to be coquettish and lowered her head, "Madam, don't make fun of me." ”
At this time, Ah Yan came in from outside, "Madam, the old lady asks Sanniang to come over." ”
Mrs. Wei nodded in response, and said to Qingrong: "My mother also heard about you, knew about Yingniang's marriage to you, and was thinking about your new marriage, so she prepared a gift for you." ”
Qingrong already had some bad premonitions in his heart at this time, but he could only smile on his face: "The old lady is too polite, how can this be made." ”
Mrs. Wei disagreed, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with this, don't say Yingniang, my mother also loves to give gifts, I don't know how many gifts I have to give in a year, so you don't need to see outside." ”
