Chapter 45: Strange Beginnings

The two walked side by side from a distance. The sun was fierce, Qingrong walked under the shade of the tree, and the silence also consciously distanced himself from her, walking outside the shade of the tree, basking in the sun.

Qingrong also noticed that she wanted to open her mouth and ask the mage to take a few steps inside to avoid the scorching sun, but she recalled Yang's previous reminder to herself, whether it was true or not, as Yang said, she should indeed keep some distance from the void to avoid criticism, so she didn't open this mouth.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew away the petals on the branches, and the petals fell melodiously on Qingrong's shoulders. Just a glance, the empty silence noticed, and he couldn't help but subconsciously approach and take the petals that were stuck on her gown.

Qingrong subconsciously took a step back, a little vigilant, "Mage? ”

Empty Silence knew that he was a little abrupt, and he was extremely ashamed, and he lowered his head, not daring to see his face again. He stretched out his hand, unfolded it, and after a while, he held back a sentence, "Falling flowers and staining clothes, always have a bad head." ”

Qingrong had no choice but to say, "Thank you." She didn't intend to see the scar on his hand, and she was a little unsure, "Master, you blocked the incense burner for me before, and you were burned?" ”

Empty silence just said lightly, "It's okay now, Lu Niangzi doesn't have to worry." As he spoke, he silently hid the petals carefully while no one was paying attention.

Although he said this, Qingrong was still a little reluctant in his heart, "I'm really sorry, I really thank the mage that day." ”

The emptiness is not in the way, and when I think about it, this is a punishment for his unquiet thoughts, and he deserves it.

I don't know how long Shi Yi and Lin Quzi will chat, Qingrong is fine, and plans to find a side hall to rest and enjoy the coolness. Empty silence still had to be busy translating the scriptures, so he didn't accompany Qingrong and said goodbye to Qingrong, and then left. It's just that when he was leaving, he couldn't help but stop, turned around and glanced at her, and soon, he turned around and left.

And this scene happened to fall in the eyes of a monk dressed as a mage, he looked at Qingrong and the emptiness of leaving, squinted his eyes, and asked the novice beside him about Qingrong, "Who is that female Tanyue?" ”

"It seems to be a pilgrim who came to find Master Kongshi Yi today, the lady of the Lu family." The little novice replied.

Qingrong noticed the gaze not far away, and subconsciously turned his head to look. I saw a monk dressed as a mage, he was of medium height, shorter than Sora, and his complexion was a little dark... Qingrong only vaguely saw his appearance, and saw him turn around and leave. Seeing him leave, Qingrong didn't think much about it.

As the sun grew, Qingrong had a meal in the temple under the guidance of the temple novice. This is the first time she has eaten in the temple, and it is quite a novelty, the food is not unusual, but this vegetarian dish is delicious, not worse than the two chefs of Xue Lu. Qingrong secretly pondered to herself, I don't know what the difference is in this approach, so that she can learn.

In the afternoon, Lin Quzi came out happy, he and Shi Yi had not seen each other for a long time, and they talked happily, forgetting the time. The two went out together, and Lin Quzi found Qingrong and planned to leave together.

At this time, Shi Yi asked people to summon the empty silence and sent Lin Quzi and Qingrong away together.

Lin Quzi smiled and waved his hand, "Why be so polite? What did we send him to do? ”

"Distinguished guests come from afar, so naturally they should be courteous." Shi Yi said, and glanced at Qingrong meaningfully, "Now, it's time to say goodbye." ”

Qingrong was slightly stunned, not understanding what he meant, but he didn't want to ask in detail, so he had to smile back and remain silent.

After a while, the empty silence put down the affairs in his hand and rushed to see off Shi Yi and send people out of the temple gate.

Out of the temple gate, Qingrong felt a little surprised when he saw a person, and looked at it, the man waiting at the door on a horse was not Xue Shao, who was it?

Xue Shao turned over and dismounted, and walked to Qingrong in a few steps, as if he had come to find Qingrong on purpose. Qingrong didn't know why he came here, but he still walked a few steps towards Xue Shao, and introduced with a smile with Lin Quzi and a few others: "Mr. Lin, Master Shiyi, Master, he is my husband Xue Shao." ”

When Xue Shao heard this, a sense of pride arose, and the unhappiness of the idea was also soothed a lot. He bowed to the three people in front of him, "Be courteous below." ”

His tone was respectful, but he raised his eyes and looked at the empty eyes above, which was not kind, full of warning and domineering. Empty silence was not afraid of his cold and tough momentum, and when he met his gaze, he just looked calm, just smiled slightly, and saluted. Although he had met Xue Shao before, he didn't know each other. Or because of intuition, as soon as Kong Xiao saw Xue Shao, he guessed Xue Shao's identity.

A subtle and inconspicuous atmosphere suddenly arose among these people.

Lin Quzi smiled and told him that he didn't need to be polite, and Qingrong asked out loud, "Why are you here?" ”

Xue Shao looked away, and when he looked at Qingrong, the hostility between his eyebrows disappeared, and his tone was relaxed, "I'll pick you up and go home." ”

Lin Quzi smiled with Shi Yi, and Lin Quzi quipped: "Sanniang's husband is really considerate, but he can't rest assured when he goes out." ”

Qingrong smiled embarrassedly and didn't speak again.

After a few people said goodbye, Qingrong got into the carriage, Lin Quzi and Xue Shao also got on their horses, and several people drove towards the main road together.

Lin Quzi and Xue Shao fought horses and walked in front, Lin Quzi chatted with Xue Shao, and Lin Quzi asked: "Look at Xue Jun is so magnificent, but is he a military attachΓ©?" ”

Xue Shao nodded, and his attitude towards Lin Quzi Xue Shao was still very polite.

Lin Quzi nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "What weapon are you best at?" ”

What he asked, Xue Shao replied, "I am best at guns and swords." ”

Lin Quzi thought for a while, suddenly remembered for a while, and asked: "Your surname is Xue, do you know the Anqu Gong Xue Yun, who is a master of dancing guns?" ”

"Anqu Gong is the younger father's cousin, and the younger generation's marksmanship is learned from Anqu Gong."

Lin Quzi nodded and smiled, "It was originally a family history, I was fortunate to see Anqu Gong dancing spear when I was young, and now I think about it, one move and one style, flowing clouds and water, and the momentum is like a rainbow, which makes people unforgettable and shocked." It's a shame I wasn't able to capture it at the time. ”

Xue Yunshi's marksmanship Xue Shao knew, Xue Shao nodded and said, "Uncle's marksmanship is really a must." ”

Lin Quzi said: "I have always wanted to paint for this, but I didn't expect you to learn from him and be taught by him. ”

If someone else made this request, Xue Shao would not agree. But he is a gentleman with a clear face, and Xue Shao will not save his face, so he agreed, "I am happy." ”

Lin Quzi wanted to go back to Lu's house and Xue Shao and them in a different way, so they parted at the gate of the fang.

Xue Shao and Qingrong returned to the mansion and entered the upper room together. Qingrong looked at him and asked with a smile, "Aren't you busy today?" Did you pick me up on purpose? ”

Xue Shao was a little weak at this time, although he came on purpose, but after hearing Qingrong talk about coming to Lingbao Temple, he was indifferent, but he was afraid to say that Qingrong felt that he was calculating, so he followed behind. He naturally thought about it, "Recently, there has been some unevenness outside, and I'm worried about you." ”

"Not peaceful?" What's not so peaceful, isn't it business as usual on the streets? Qing Rong was puzzled.

Xue Shao's words were not fabricated, he explained in a low voice: "In the past two months, for some reason, the Yongwang Mansion secretly ordered Xiao Fuma to call the soldiers out of the city many times, which is really suspicious. ”

Qingrong was taken aback, "How do you know about such a private matter?" ”

"I also heard about it recently, and the captain of the Yongwang Mansion is my former colleague Xu Shanghua, and I also met him recently, so I didn't know about it unintentionally."

Qingrong asked again: "Then do you know what they are doing when they call the government soldiers?" ”

Xue Shao shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Qingrong couldn't help but ponder, could it be that something big was going to happen? Somehow, she suddenly remembered that Mrs. Wei had said that she hadn't seen Lord Ming appear for a long time, could it be that there was something related to the two?

Xue Shao asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Qingrong thought for a while, and only said, "Xu Shanghua, this name seems to be a little familiar. She seemed to have heard the name somewhere.

Xue Shao pondered for a moment and said, "You also know?" He has already discussed with this Yang family lady, and he is hopeful that he will be able to eat this wedding wine in the near future. ”

It turned out to be him! Qingrong only then remembered. It is also somewhat surprising that the former sister-in-law is now the wife of a former colleague. According to what he said, the Yang family will have more or less dealings with this side in the future, she glanced at Xue Shao, and saw that he was not displeased, but his expression was unpredictable, "You... But it's a pity for the third brother? ”

Xue Shao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Since they have been separated, it is understandable that the Yang family is looking for someone else now. It's too late to say that. ”

Hearing him say this, Shi Yi's words seemed to ring in Qingrong's ears again... She looked at Xue Shao, thoughtful. I didn't know what to say, but after a while, she asked, "What do you want to eat for dinner?" ”

Towards the end of the month, after Qingrong completed the painting that Mrs. Wei wanted, it didn't take long to receive invitations from Yang and Xu Shanghua.

The other party has a heart, not to mention that Xu Shanghua and Xue Shao have the friendship of colleagues, so Qingrong and Xue Shao did not refuse to attend. However, Xue Cheng was depressed for a long time after hearing about this... After the incident with Heli, he was still out playing and drinking as before, and the whole person was in peace for a long time, and the Xue family was all surprised by this, thinking that Xue Shao regretted making peace with the Yang family. Lu also persuaded him to look away, thinking about finding another bride for him, but he was calm and said that there was no urgency in this matter...

At the beginning of August, Qingrong was invited to the Guogong Mansion as a guest. Qingrong was the first of several ladies to arrive, and Ah Yan took Qingrong to her courtyard according to Mrs. Wei's instructions.

Qingrong unintentionally met Gu Songzhi who was talking about by Weifu, Qingrong stood outside the gauze curtain, and the maidservant raised the curtain. Qingrong looked over and saw Mrs. Wei leaning on the gum, a man in a moon-white shirt standing next to her, intimate with her words and deeds, ears and temples grinding, the man didn't know what to whisper in Mrs. Wei's ear, which made Mrs. Wei laugh more than once, so it was not ambiguous.

Ah Yan reminded loudly: "Madam, Mrs. Lu is here." ”

Mrs. Wei looked up and smiled, "You're here?" Come on in. He turned to the man and smiled, "You go down first." ”
