Chapter 38: Suspicion arises
Xue Shao really didn't understand why Qingrong could still say that he wanted to live a good life with him one moment ago, but the next moment he did something to persuade the Yang family to reconcile with Xue Sanlang from his family. It's such a coincidence today, there is such a mess in the family, and those two people find themselves at this time, it's hard not to let Xue Shao think more about whether all this is a coincidence... What exactly does she want to do?
Qingrong's smile froze on his face, and he didn't understand why Xue Shao suddenly mentioned this. The Yang family is also very kind, considering that Qingrong is still the daughter-in-law of the Xue family, her identity is delicate, and it is very rare to be willing to consider it from her standpoint, she can't make Qingrong embarrassed, so after these things happened, she didn't mention Qingrong half a word.
But now Xue Shao knows this matter Qingrong doesn't feel strange, he is already sharp-minded, plus the last time she borrowed Xue Chang, she didn't deliberately hide it from him, it is not strange that he can guess. In fact, Xue Chang did tell him that Qingrong asked him, Yun Niang and the others to find the doctor and asked him the truth about Zhao Xiaoniang's matter.
Qingrong quickly reacted, Xue Shao's abnormality in the past few days, and his reaction just now, all showed that he mistakenly thought that he was doing this on purpose, because he had a bigger plan. Qingrong was silent for a moment, pretending to be timid, and softened his tone: "Yes... I did persuade her to reconcile, but you are angry with me? ”
The last words fell, and the room fell silent, the atmosphere solemn and subtle. Song Yue and Ah Zhen were actually here at this time, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, for fear that Xue Shao would be angry and angry. Xue Shao looked at Qingrong, as if he had formed some kind of invisible confrontation with her... But who has the upper hand is self-evident.
He relented, and he asked, "Why did you do that?" ”
Qingrong lowered his eyes and sighed lightly: "Actually, I didn't expect this matter to be like this." I had no intention of knowing that Zhao Xiaoniang designed a fake pregnancy to frame the third sister-in-law, and I was hesitant to tell the third sister-in-law the truth, but the third sister-in-law came back from A-Niang that day and cried very aggrieved.
She couldn't help but feel sad when she said it, and Xue Shao looked at her with a somewhat relaxed expression.
Qingrong said: "The third sister-in-law said that since she got married, she has been tolerant and obedient to the third brother in every way, but no matter what, the third brother has never been able to change his mind, I see her sad... I couldn't help but ask. Qingrong raised her eyes and looked at Xue Shao, a little aggrieved, "I don't have any plans, but I just saw that the third sister-in-law was too aggrieved, and I couldn't bear it for a while, so I persuaded her to stop the loss in time." Over the years, how the third sister-in-law has done, you know better than me, how difficult it is for the third sister-in-law, you also know, right? ”
Although Xue Shao didn't speak, his eyes betrayed him, and he chose to believe her.
Qingrong said: "As for what happened after that, I didn't expect it, I think it's because the third sister-in-law wants to be very decisive, right?" As for this Fan Wenchong, I just happened to hear people outside talk about it. I don't want you to participate in the establishment of an heir, and I do have selfish intentions, you know, Siniang is also in the palace now, I am naturally worried about her, so I hope you can stay away from these things and try to be stable. ”
The words are the truth, but Qingrong didn't tell Xue Shao everything, after all, Xue Shao doubts herself like this, so how true or false are her words, how can she trust him?
Xue Shao said in a deep voice: "I misunderstood you." ”
Qingrong looked at him, "Then can you trust me now?" ”
Xue Shao looked apologetic and held her hand, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you." ”
Qingrong didn't take this to heart, if he was suspicious, she was helpless.
But Qingrong would not say this at this moment.
She shook her head and said calmly: "If you have anything in the future, you can tell me directly, so as to avoid this unnecessary suspicion, once or twice, if it is a long time, it will inevitably make people sad and frustrated." ”
Xue Shao felt ashamed and sighed, "In the future, I will change it." "Actually, he just wanted an explanation from her, but now that she is willing to tell herself, what else is he suspicious?" I will consider what you say, and I promise you that you will think carefully and consult with you in everything. ”
Qingrong's hanging heart was relieved, and he nodded with a smile.
Xue Shao asked again: "Does anyone else know about the third sister-in-law?" ”
Qingrong said: "I don't know, it's just that the third sister-in-law never mentioned me again, and it seems that she deliberately concealed it for me." ”
Xue Shao looked at her face and snorted, he naturally wouldn't talk about it with anyone. In fact, he refused to be ordered to get married in the past, also because of Xue Cheng's experience, but he was always unable to say much because of his brotherhood, and now he is like this... Good for everyone. "You're not wrong about this."
"You don't blame me?" Although Qingrong didn't feel that he was at fault in his heart, he still didn't forget to ask.
Xue Shao shook his head, "If you don't have such thoughts in your heart, it's useless to persuade others." With such thoughts, what do you care about others? What's more, the third brother really didn't do well, even if the third sister-in-law was dissatisfied with him and resentful, she should..."
Qing Rong raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at him in surprise, he would actually think like this, "You actually feel the same way?" ”
Xue Shao glanced at her angrily, and said patiently: "Since you marry someone, you should take on the responsibility of being a husband." Wrong is wrong, and there is no distinction between men and women. Didn't the Buddha always say: All beings are equal? ”
Qingrong couldn't help but smile, she didn't expect to hear a 'Buddha say' in the mouth of a person like him one day, she nodded and said: "That's right, but there are not many men who just think like this." ”
Everyone will say: all beings are equal, but that is just saying. If you really want to do it, there is still a difference between men and women, and men are inferior to women.
Xue Shao rarely showed a little sigh, he patted Qingrong's hand, as if to comfort, "The world is like this, but not everyone is like this, people think differently." ”
The world is like this, Qingrong said secretly in his heart. I don't know how to say this to Xue Shao today, and she also sighed a little, "Is it supposed to be like this?" The difference between men and women is not only in terms of etiquette, but also in status... The world has always been more demanding of women. ”
Xue Shao didn't understand that he was good friends with Cui Er, the nephew of the third aunt's family, and he also knew that his life experience was not easy, and he could feel the meaning of Qingrong's words. He nodded, "The harshness of women is just the rhetoric of the strong, if one day it is changed, it will be more demanding of men." ”
He rarely talked to Qingrong so calmly, so he wanted to talk to her more. He said: "Actually, I used to think that if a man has three wives and four concubines, a woman should be loyal to one person, but is a woman naturally generous?" If I have something I love and I don't want to share it with others, this may be human nature, how many people can be so generous, but how can I ask women to be generous in this matter? It took me a long time to understand that the way the world is like this because of power, and power is the will of the strong. ”
He said this too bluntly, and Qingrong was silent for a moment, indeed, maybe someone like Xue Shao knows it in his heart, but it is clear that the way of the world will not be changed for one person. Reality is always powerless...
But Xue Shao's words today made her make a difference, and the impression of him in her heart was a little better, and he may still think differently from herself.
Xue Shaoke didn't know what Qingrong was thinking, he saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, so he changed his words in a daze, "What did you eat tonight?" ”
"Huh?"
Qingrong looked at him and felt a little sudden.
As everyone knows, her blank appearance is very cute in someone's eyes. Xue Shao rarely saw such a vivid look on her face again, she was calm and gentle most of the time, his heart was hot, and said, "Rest early tonight?" ”
Qingrong shook his head.
"Why?" How did he mess with her?
Qingrong said: "You better go to the bath and wash up first." "It smells of alcohol, and it's really a little unpleasant.
"You're with me?"
Qingrong hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth and glared at him, "What are you talking about?" "Ah Zhen and Song Yue are still in the house, and they can't hold back. Ah Zhen and Song Yue saw that the two had solved the misunderstanding, and their words and deeds were intimate, they looked at each other and smiled, and endured silence.
Qingrong urged: "You go quickly." ”
It was easy to send people away, and there were only three Qingrong master and servant left in the house.
Ah Zhen stepped forward and said, "I was really scared just now, I thought Ah Lang would be angry with her about Yang Niangzi?" ”
Qingrong also thought that he didn't expect him to think like this in his heart.
Song Yue said with a smile: "Ah Lang is rare, he can understand the intentions of the lady, but the lady, why are you helping Yang Niangzi like this?" ”
For what? Actually, it's nothing, Qingrong said lightly: "I can only do this." She treats me really well, not to mention that she is also a woman, so I naturally hope that she can be good and not fall into the mud. "What should be said, she said. If she wants to help the Yang family more, I'm afraid she won't be able to.
At this time, Yun Niang was coming in from outside, she paused when she heard the words, and the taste in her heart was a little complicated and indescribable, and after a while, she entered the house and sent in the things that Qingrong had just ordered to find.
In late spring and April, it seems that after the rain in the middle of the month, the temperature is swishing hot, and the bright sun shines on the streets, shaking people can't open their eyes, and the locust trees on both sides of the road are endless, which makes people upset.
Qingrong Zi also heard that Li Jin was going to take the harem concubines and former courtiers to the palace to escape the summer, and Concubine Xian also went, and Siniang also accompanied her. Qingrong calculated carefully, this time, it will take at least two or three months to come back, I don't know what waves will be set off by then... I only hope that Siniang and Concubine Xian are safe.
On April 20, the main gate of Shuntianmen was the first time for the new emperor of this dynasty to patrol the palace of Xinglu Yuan, the guard of honor set off from Shuntianmen, by the servant, the Taiwei, the imperial historian, the four officials of the Zhongshu Ling and their full guard of honor, 214 columns of large frames and 12 Luan frames. It was followed by the queen's guard of honor, followed by the harem concubines and the six divisions of the inner court. Nearly 1,000 carriages accompanied it, traveling for several miles, endlessly.
