Qingrong said softly: "Changxuan? ”

Xue Shao snorted, his voice a little muffled, "Can't you sleep?" ”

"I'm not used to you holding me like this."

He didn't, "But I think." ”

Qingrong was helpless, "You still said that you weren't drunk?" ”

"Then I said that if you are drunk, you can hold it?"

Qingrong was stunned, where is this? She's funny, can she still tell a drunk person?

She was held in Xue Shao's arms, and there was a faint smell of wine lingering on the tip of her nose, but it was not offensive. His wide chest and the sound of a powerful heartbeat made people feel reassured.

Qingrong thought about it, but still put his hand on Xue Shao's arm and hugged him back. She thought, but she had never slept in such a hug.

Xue Shao naturally felt it, he looked at Qingrong for a moment, half a sound, pasted it, and muttered, "Today, don't be sad." ”

"Huh?" Qingrong didn't know why he asked like that.

He smiled, "You are concerned about Siniang, come back today for the holiday, be happy." He knew that Qingrong was always concerned about Siniang, and he couldn't rest assured that he came back with her today, and he also wanted to accompany his family with her. At home, she thought she would be happier.

Qingrong was stunned, she didn't know what to say, she felt that her heart suddenly became very soft, maybe she could let go of something...

August 25 is Qingrong's birthday.

At that time, Yongcheng people didn't pay much attention to birthdays, and Qingrong was even more so after a few years away from home. I also made longevity noodles at home before, and then made a good table of dishes, and my family passed it together. After going to the Taoist temple, it was very simple, and she only asked Ah Zhen to make noodle soup every year, because she didn't care much about this.

Xue Shao attaches great importance to this in his heart, this is Qingrong's first birthday after marrying him, but he doesn't have anything special to say, and he doesn't even talk about it. Just like him, it's weird.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xue Shao came back from outside, still holding a delicate wooden box in his hand.

He found Qingrong in the house, stepped forward, handed the box to Qingrong, and his face was quite a bit of an invitation, "Open it and take a look?" ”

Qingrong was a little amused in his heart, but he did as he said. Inside this wooden box is a pair of finest mutton fat jade bracelets that are very rare in color. Qingrong raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at him, and asked, "This is for me?" ”

He hummed in a low voice, "Birthday gift." ”

Qingrong smiled, "I like it very much." ”

Xue Shao smiled less, and when he heard the words at this time, his eyebrows and eyes were also dyed with a smile, and he snorted. Xindao liked his gift, that... should also like him as a person, Xue Shao thought unashamedly. If Qingrong knew what he was thinking, I am afraid that he would cry and laugh at his cranky ability.

He didn't say much about it, but this was set by him at a high price from Hu Shang when he went to Xishi two months ago, that is, he only got this pair of jade bracelets in the past two days.

Qingrong asked, "Why did you think of giving me this?" ”

He knew that Qingrong liked jade, and he also felt that jade was more beautiful than those gold objects, "It looks good." I know you don't lack jewelry, but you can't do without me. ”

Speaking of gifts, back and forth are all those, Xue Shao didn't want to give a special gift, but he wanted to give Qingrong can be used all the time, he will remember, and what can be remembered at all times is better than being hung up and put on the shelf. In the future, every year after year, gathering less will become more, just hoping that she can always think of herself.

Qingrong looked at him, and said in his heart that he was like this, sometimes worried, always suffering from gains and losses, but sometimes he was very domineering, so that people couldn't resist... She smiled and responded, "Thank you." ”

In the dead of night, the room is beautiful again.

Qingrong was quietly embraced in her arms, she didn't fall asleep, and her mind unconsciously remembered, "Everything is fate", "Love, is the subject of your practice in this life", what is this?

She raised her eyes and stared at Xue Shao, half-dark and half-bright, and could only see his side face. Qingrong didn't look at it for long, lowered his eyes, thought carefully, cherish him? He treats himself well, but how can he cherish it?

Although Qingrong thought about this, he was not entangled. It would be nice if we could continue to respect each other like this all the time.

She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Count the days, and the dog days are finally over. But not long after he came out, Xue Shao came with a news that surprised Qingrong.

Qingrong's face was also a little heavy, and he couldn't believe it, "What you said is true?" ”

Xue Shao nodded, "The day after tomorrow, they will set off." ”

The two went to Xu's house together, Xue Shao was led to the front hall by his subordinates, Qingrong went to the backyard, and Yang was in the house at this time. There were utensils and bags on the ground, and a few maidservants were surrounded by them, and the Yang family was also busy, and a thin sweat was oozing from his forehead.

Qingrong looked at the somewhat thin back, and felt unspeakable in her heart for a while, she didn't expect that she would say goodbye to her Yang family in such a situation, she didn't know if her decision to persuade Yang was really wrong at that time.

Seeing Qingrong, she smiled embarrassedly at first, although she was a little embarrassed, but there was no trace of loss and sadness on her face, and the whole person exuded some satisfaction and peace of mind.

Yang hurriedly led her in, "Sanniang is here, I'm busy cleaning up, so you don't even have a place to put your feet, don't blame you." So saying, he was going to call for buttermilk.

Qingrong hurriedly shook her head, grabbed her and said, "It doesn't matter, things are in a hurry, I can understand." ”

Qingrong hesitated: "Sister Miaolian, you really decided... Do you want to go with Captain Xu? ”

Yang nodded without hesitation, smiling calmly, "I married him, how can I let him leave alone." ”

"You've really thought about it?"

Yang smiled: "Well, I know you're worried about me. But this day is spent anywhere, no matter where you are, as long as you can spend it hand in hand with the people you care about, you will have no regrets. ”

Qingrong looked at her down-to-earth and calm smile, and was a little speechless for a while. Seeing that she was resolute, Qingrong swallowed the words of persuasion again. Now that the mind has been decided, it is useless for others to say more.

Qingrong smiled and said sincerely: "Okay, then I wish Sister Miaolian a safe journey, if there is a place where Changxuan and I can help in the future, you can just ask." ”

Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry." ”

Yang and Xu Shanghua left suddenly, and there was a mess in the house, and Xue Shao and Qingrong didn't want to disturb them, so they left after not staying long.

Xue Shao patted his horse to the carriage, knocked on the window, and asked, "Do you want to drink the 100-year-old soup in the West Market?" ”

Qingrong shook his head, "Let's go back early." ”

"Still thinking about what just happened?"

Qingrong sighed lightly, "Sister Miaolian is really not easy, it's really a trick, she has to leave now, and I don't know what to do in the future." "I heard that the mother-in-law of the Xu family was born in a powerful family, and her means are powerful. Not long after Yang and Xu Shanghua got married, she targeted them everywhere, and now she wants to drive the couple out of Yongcheng! Thinking of this, Qingrong couldn't help but sigh.

Xue Shao pondered for a moment, "Aren't you worth it for her?" ”

Qingrong shook her head, "If she is willing, there is nothing worth talking about." ”

But Xue Shao only looked at Qingrong for a while, thinking to himself, if it was him, he would never want to drag Qingrong down like this.

He didn't dare, and he couldn't.

……

The hot summer has passed, but the saint and the queen have not yet had the intention of returning to Beijing, and the days that are easy to calm down have set off a wave at the end of September...

News suddenly came out of the palace that King Yong colluded with his subordinates and wanted to plot rebellion, and then the court carried out a thorough investigation of the rebellion, and the people in the court were uneasy... Until the end, this rebellion case ended with the murder of King Yong, the two concubines and others.

Such a big turmoil naturally led to a lot of things... I heard that the lord of Ming County, who had just reached Lu, was given death because his father and brother were guilty, and he did not want to live in the world and committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake. Qingrong couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, the former Ming County Lord was arrogant, and his young and fresh appearance seemed to be still in front of him, but now, in less than a year, he was all made of soil. can sigh and sigh, no one has the courage to say anything more for the people of Yongwangfu at such a time.

The first day of the first month of October is the day of the sacrifice and the day of worshipping the ancestors.

The Xue family has its own clan wife who leads the female dependents of the clan to worship in the ancestral hall, and the son of the Xue family was Xue Fangji, the prince of Xing Guo, and his wife Wang is the clan wife. I heard that the Wang family has been unwell recently, so this year, the courage of leading the women to sacrifice fell on her eldest daughter-in-law, Chu.

It's easy to bow down to the ancestors on the wall, and after a set of processes, Qingrong knelt a little dizzy. After saying a few polite and symbolic words to the female dependents, Chu announced that the sacrifice was over, and you could leave first.

Qingrong and the Su family wanted to leave together, but who knew that the Chu family called Qingrong, "The fourth brother and sister are slow." ”

She walked over with a smile, Qingrong and Su returned the salute, and Qingrong said politely: "Sister-in-law, I don't know what advice my sister-in-law has." ”

"What to advise or not, my brother and sister are really too polite." Chu said with a smile, she was very enthusiastic, "A few days ago, I sent someone to send silk silk to my younger siblings, do my younger siblings still like it?" ”

Qingrong smiled faintly, "Thank you sister-in-law for your kindness, the things sent by sister-in-law are naturally good, why don't you like it?" "Qingrong actually guessed the meaning of Chu Clan's abnormality, probably because of the matter of King Yong in front of him. Qingrong didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing at all, so after receiving the gift, he asked Yun Niang to pick up some considerable gifts and send them back.

"Huh! Why do you need to see each other like this, we are all family, Asu, you say yes, right? ”

Su Shi nodded and smiled, "Don't dare to take this seriously." In the past, this sister-in-law Chu did not have such enthusiasm and kindness, either arrogant, or looked down on this, looked down on that. She still remembered that Chu scolded Xue Shao behind his back in the past for those unpleasant words... Fortunately, the second brother and sister didn't come here because of the inconvenience of their bodies, otherwise she would have been afraid that she would have to give Bai Chu a fierce look.

Chu's face stiffened, and he said: "Two days ago, I sent someone to invite my younger siblings to sit with me, and my younger siblings said that they were unwell, but now they are better?" Do you want me to send some old ginseng? ”

"Don't bother so much, thank you sister-in-law for your concern, I'm already better."

Although the affairs of the eternal king have passed, it still makes people's hearts palpitate and panic. No one knows what news will come from there, others are fine, but the relationship between their Xue family and King Yong is complicated and delicate, not to mention the fact that her family was still involved in recommending Li Wei, the son of the Xie family, as the crown prince... In this way, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be implicated in the future, and if something really happens, I am afraid that their big house will bear the brunt.

Chu knew that Qingrong had a virtuous concubine as a backer, and she was also good friends with the Rongguo Mansion, and her marriage was the queen's meaning, who could not know that Qingrong was the queen's person. Therefore, under such a situation, Chu's treatment of Qingrong became more enthusiastic, which pointed to her being able to say a few more kind words in front of the queen.

But Qingrong always looks like she is not salty, not light, and the smoke does not enter, Chu Shi couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart, and secretly scolded her for kicking her nose and face, not knowing what to do, just like the annoying Xue Shao! But no matter how ugly the scolding in her heart was, she still didn't have a seizure on her face. I had to laugh and say, "That's fine." ”

Seeing this, Su Shi said: "I don't think it's too early, Sanniang and I will see the second brother and sister in a while, so I'll go first, sister-in-law forgive me." ”

Chu didn't want to say anything more, so he had to say goodbye to them with a smile, but he was very angry in his heart.

In the next month, a few things also happened: Xue Chengwai was sent to Huailuo as an official, Daye's army won one after another, and Liu Yuniang, who was about to return to the dynasty in the near future, and Liu Yuniang, who was far away in the Luyuan Palace, was pregnant again...

In a blink of an eye, October is coming to an end, the heat of the sun begins to gradually subside at some point, and the autumn wind blowing from Yumen Pass is becoming more and more violent, blowing so that people can't open their eyes... I don't know when a black cloud shrouded above Yongcheng again.

It seems that the first autumn rain in Yongcheng is coming.
