After a few days, the Wang family sent someone to Liu's house to inquire about the situation, and heard that this Liu Shi abandoned the Feng family and sent her to the temple outside the city. Liu Qiniang was confined to the courtyard by Liu Shi and was not allowed to go out, and Liu Shi did not say how long she was grounded. The Wang family also sent the news to Liu Yuniang, and then there was a battle in the palace, what happened, Qingrong and they didn't know much, they only heard that the queen beat the concubine and accused her of punishing the concubine for no reason.

When the Wang mother and daughter sighed at the Feng mother and daughter, they couldn't help but sigh, this man is bent on a rich future, if he is ruthless and ruthless, it will be really chilling. Although Qingrong didn't say anything, her heart was still a little throbbing, she didn't want to come to such a situation one day... Qingrong remembered what his husband once said: When the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses. Thinking about it, only in the future, except for the family, I don't have too many expectations and illusions for others, and I should have reservations, so as not to hurt myself in the end.

Siniang was delicate, afraid that this matter would make Qingrong feel intimidated, so she wanted to divert her attention and pull her to talk about other things, Siniang smiled and said: "Sister, it will be the Shangyuan Festival in a few days, you will spend the Shangyuan Festival in Yongcheng for the first time, let's go out together to see the excitement, right?" ”

Qingrong remembered the appointment with Xue Shao a few days ago, she stopped, and felt that it was better not to go. Seeing her hesitation, Siniang hurriedly said: "Sister, you don't know, the Shangyuan Festival in this capital is very lively, and the market is full of people. From the 14th to the 16th, the lanterns should be hung for three days in a row, and the markets are brightly lit and full of people. Sister, don't you want to take a look? ”

Siniang pulled Qingrong and said coquettishly: "Even if you don't want to take a look, then you should accompany me to take a look, good sister." ”

Qingrong couldn't stand Siniang's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so she had to agree. Thinking about it, there are so many people in this market, he may not necessarily find himself, not to mention that she really wants to see this excitement.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month came in a flash, and Qingrong originally thought that Xue Shao might find herself, but after seeing Siniang's posture that day, she felt that Xue Shao might not be able to find herself. It turns out that there are still small tricks of wearing masks and pretending to be Yao Niang on this Shangyuan Festival, and when this person is dressed up, he can't see it from the outside at all.

Siniang found a simple mask for Qingrong, and chose a six-piece long skirt with a goose yellow background and beaded patterns for her, covered with a light apricot face shawl, and a tassel on her head. Different from the ordinary dress of Qingrong, it looks particularly fresh and playful.

Lu Wenzhong and the Wang family were older, so they didn't like to join in the fun, but just let the maid accompany the Qingrong sisters. When the sunset sets, the lanterns of the West Market are also lit up one by one, and when they arrive, the road is already full of people, the lanterns are full of air, lively and extraordinary, reflecting the splendor of the city. The avenue was simply overcrowded, with groups of young men and gentlemen, young ladies surrounded by slaves, and Hu people in short boots. There are also those who perform sword dance, spitting fire, playing big poles and other tricks in the crowd, attracting a group of old people and children to stop and watch, making people dizzy, and if they are not careful, they may not know where the people who are traveling with them have gone.

Originally, Qingrong and Siniang were walking side by side, and in the crowd, they could still notice each other. But when the two stopped in the lively place, suddenly someone grabbed Qingrong's hand, protected her with one hand, and brought her out of the crowd.

Qingrong was flustered in her heart, afraid that she had met a villain like she had in Cha'an County at that time, and she was about to call someone. The man whispered in her ear, "It's me." ”

Xue Shao? Qingrong recognized his voice and pulled her hand away, she didn't expect him to find herself. She refused to admit it, "You recognized the wrong person, I don't recognize..."

"Whether I recognize it or not, I will know when I see it." As he spoke, he was about to reach out to take off Qingrong's mask, but Qingrong turned sideways to dodge, so she had to admit that she took off the mask herself, "I'm dressed like this, can you still find me?" ”

Xue Shao looked at her, his eyes were confident and determined, and he said in a low voice: "I can recognize you no matter how you dress." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qingrong scolded lightly, looked at the person opposite, and didn't speak. How many times had he seen himself? Where is it so ripe?

Xue Shao said seriously: "It's true." Of course she didn't know, he'd seen her many times in his dreams...

Xue Shao looked at the servant girl who followed behind him, and reminded Qingrong: "You promised that if you find you, you will spend the festival with me." ”

Qingrong followed his gaze, secretly happy in her heart, she nodded, but said, "They are all with me, so naturally they will follow me." ”

Ah Zhen and Song Yue didn't come directly when they saw Xue Shao here, but just followed a few steps behind, Ah Zhen muttered in a low voice, "Why is Xue Langjun here?" ”

Song Yue glanced at it, then turned her head and said in a low voice: "This is not obvious, I am here to find Sanniang, let's be separated, I see that Xue Langjun's eyes are always cold when he looks at us." ”

Ah Zhen nodded hurriedly, she also felt this way. But Siniang didn't know about it, she just thought Qingrong was gone, and she was busy looking for her. Siniang saw Qingrong and hurriedly hurried over, but she didn't see the person standing next to her clearly, "Sister, why did you get here." ”

As soon as the words fell, she saw Xue Shao looking at her with a cold face, Siniang's smile was fixed on her face, she still remembered Xue Shao, but she didn't expect him to be here. It's just that his face is really not very good now, hum, what is the spirit, compared to a gentle gentleman like Cui Jun, she is not rare!

Siniang ignored him, pulled Qingrong and was about to leave, "Sister, let's go elsewhere." ”

"Wait, she said she wanted to join me." Xue Shao stopped him.

Siniang's eyes widened, Qingrong shook her head at her very embarrassedly, and said to Xue Shao: "Siniang is a girl's house outside, I don't worry, I can't let her be here alone." ”

Saying that, the expression on Siniang's face also became proud, and sure enough, Sister still cared about herself the most. Xue Shao frowned slightly, and shouted behind him, "Xue Chang." At the end, he looked at Qingrong again and asked, "With Xue Chang by her side, when she wants to go back, let Xue Chang send her back." Are you relieved? ”

Qingrong and Siniang hadn't spoken yet, he continued: "What's the matter, he's a big man and he's better than you, a powerless woman." ”

Qingrong had nothing to say this time, but Siniang secretly shook her head in her heart, this future brother-in-law is too bad at talking. Seeing that the words were all over this, Qingrong did not shirk any more, and responded under Xue Shao's extremely oppressive gaze.

Qingrong and Xue Shao were separated by a step or two, and the two walked side by side on the street. Qingrong asked, "When did you get here?" ”

"I happened to be here when you came."

Qingrong wondered, how did he know? Xue Shao explained solemnly: "Since you left the house, I have followed the Lu family's carriage, so I naturally know. ”

"You..." Qingrong didn't expect to ask him to take advantage of this loophole, she bit her lip and said, "You cheat, this can't be counted." ”

Xue Shao shook his head and said seriously: "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, I just came prepared." Besides, didn't you also make this dress so that I didn't want me to find you? ”

Qingrong was speechless for a while, and saw his frank and more honest appearance, both angry and a little helpless, "There are not many people on this street who are dressed like women, can't I?" ”

He hurriedly retorted: "Of course not, you can dress up whatever you want, and it will be the same when we get married in the future." ”

Qingrong was a little embarrassed, and she said these things in public, she said "um" slowly, and she was a little distracted for a while. A little boy next to him rushed out of the crowd and was about to hit Qingrong, Xue Shao's eyes were quick and he grabbed her, "Be careful." ”

He put his hand on Qingrong's shoulder and took her into his arms, which was so strong and so reassuring. Qingrong's heart was also shocked by this sudden little accident, she was attached to him, even through the fabric, she could feel his strong and powerful heartbeat and scorching body temperature...

"You'd better get closer to me." He bowed his head and said with a clear face. His breath lingered from the tips of his ears, and it also lingered in Qingrong.

Qingrong's ears were hot, and she nodded a little helplessly, "Hmm." You let go first. ”

Xue Shao let go of his hand and didn't say anything, but his expression was slightly lost. Qingrong wanted to ease the atmosphere between the two and asked, "Since you have all planned, where are we going?" ”

"I don't know."

Qingrong stopped, his eyebrows raised slightly, it turned out that they were walking aimlessly now? Qingrong smiled helplessly: "I thought you had planned everything, didn't you just say that you were 'prepared'?" ”

Xue Shao said bluntly: "I just think it's good that you can be with me." ”

"Flim Flam!" Qingrong couldn't help but say, "Can't you keep going like this?" ”

Xue Shao naturally had no opinion, or that she could do whatever she wanted, as long as she was with him. As they walked forward, they came across a few lively places, and then they stopped to watch them before leaving, occasionally saying a few words without a match. Although it looks alienated, there is also an inexplicable harmony.

The two of them walked to a place where they performed a fire-spitting trick and stopped, and there were especially many men, women, and children gathered around them, and they all crowded forward one after another, and if they were small, they could not see the people inside. Qingrong also wanted to see this trick, and she was also curious about how it was done. She tried to stand on her tiptoes, but she could only see a star.

Xue Shao saw that she wanted to see it, so he turned his head and asked her, "Do you want to see it, I'll help you?" ”

Qing Rong was puzzled, leaned over and asked, "How can you help me?" ”

Unbeknownst to him, he approached, clasped Qingrong's waist with both hands, and leaned over to lift her up to his left shoulder. So steady, and so powerful, Qingrong was caught off guard by this move, she was afraid of falling, so she had to hold Xue Shao's head with a good hand.

She looked at Xue Shao with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "You..."

Xue Shao's face was the same, and he asked her, "Can you see clearly?" ”

He was already born tall, and when he lifted his face, he really had an unobstructed view. Qingrong looked forward, crying and laughing, she saw clearly, not only she saw clearly, but others also saw her clearly.

Qingrong lowered his eyes to look at him, bit his lip and said, "Okay, I saw it, you can let me down quickly." I... I'm scared. ”

Xue Shao put her on the ground according to his words, and this set of movements was very smooth, as if it was as simple as simply picking up an object for him.

A female doll next to her saw it, and she also asked her brother to lift her on her shoulder. "Brother, I can't see it, I want it too! Just now, this Lang Jun raised his sister to look at it, and I want it too! ”

Xue Shao heard it and interrupted: "Look carefully, she is my bride." He glanced at the girl coldly, "We are not brothers and sisters." ”

He was born tall, and his face was cold and hard, he looked fierce if he didn't smile, and his cold face was even more frightening, not to mention such a female doll, she didn't dare to look at Xue Shao, and was busy huddled next to her brother.

Qingrong couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, she quipped, "How old is she, what do you know?" Are you scheming with her? ”

Xue Shao said seriously: "If you are wrong, you should change it." ”

Qingrong shook his head amusedly, "Okay, okay, let's go somewhere else." Xue Shao listened to her words, nodded, and didn't forget to glance at the girl just now coldly when he left, so that people were so scared, and they didn't dare to shout at their brother to lift themselves.

The streets are still crowded with people, and it is very lively.

As the two walked, Xue Shao's eyes looked at Qingrong from time to time, and Qingrong could also feel it, a little uncomfortable, and asked, "Why do you keep staring at me?" ”

"You're so good-looking, I can't help but want to see you from time to time. When you go back today, we probably won't see each other until the day we get married, so I want to see more. ”

is such a straightforward word, how can he have no scruples about what words come into his mouth, and can say them at will? She didn't look up at him, a little afraid that seeing his fiery gaze would make people panic... Even now, her heart is no longer as calm as before.

He looked at her seriously and said, "Why is your face so pale?" As he spoke, before Qingrong could speak, he took Qingrong's hand and held her hand in his palm, he locked his eyebrows and said with concern: "Your hands are still so cold?" ”

Qingrong hurriedly withdrew his hand, looked away, and said, "Maybe it's been outside for a long time." ”

"If you're cold, why don't you tell me? I won't take you out there and cause you to blow the wind for so long. Although his face was cold, his tone was self-reproachful.

Qingrong shook his head, "I'm like this in winter, my hands and feet are cold, but my body doesn't feel cold. ”

Xue Shao lowered his eyes, and although he was disappointed, he said very simply: "I'll send you home." It's cold outside, and your body matters. ”

Qingrong looked at him, gathered the cloak on his body again, and nodded, "Okay, I just don't have to send me, I can go back by myself." "Song Yue has been here for a few months, and he probably remembers the way, and it is enough to have the two of them with him.

But Xue Shao insisted on sending it, "Just this time, only send this way, won't you let it?" ”

She didn't want to talk to Xue Shao in this market, so she agreed to him. But to outsiders, it was like two armies fighting, and finally, one side compromised.

The two didn't say anything all the way.

Seeing that the gate of the Lu Mansion was in front of him, Qingrong was also ready to leave, "Okay, let's stop here." Thank you for today, I'll go first. ”

Xue Shao nodded, looking at her departing figure, he couldn't help but call: "Qingrong..."

Qingrong set her pace, this was the first time he called her name, she looked at the person in front of her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Her eyes are as clear and calm as clear water, as if she can see people's hearts at a glance. Xue Shao was stunned and said in a low voice: "On the first day of the third month, wait for me to marry you." ”

His expression was serious and solemn, as if he was promising and informing, like a heavy drum, ringing in people's hearts...
