After leaving the palace with Mrs. Wei that day, Qingrong returned to Lu's house the next day and informed Lu Wenzhong and Wang's Siniang of their plans. She heard from Mrs. Wei that Pei Lingniang's maiden family had a sister who was about to die, so Qingrong thought about sending someone to send a generous gift to congratulate her... Xue Shao's third uncle and aunt Cui Shi took good care of her body, and Qingrong did what she liked, so she specially found a maintenance prescription that was opened by a real person at home in the past and sent it over, and Cui Shi was very happy. Qingrong naturally does not treat her differently, and she gave her mother-in-law and several elders and daughters in the family one by one.

She used to be lazy about the dealings between these ladies and ladies, but now, she cares much more. But this is different from before, naturally attracted the attention of others, after Chu heard about it, he was curious, so he couldn't sit still and came to Qingrong's courtyard to look for her.

Qingrong saw that Chu was coming, and got up to greet him, "Sister-in-law, why are you free to come over today?" But what's the matter? ”

Chu Shi smiled and said, "It's nothing, but I'm here to see you, I heard that you have been busy these days?" ”

Qingrong was puzzled, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law said that I was laughing, I have only been idle these days, so what is the matter." ”

Chu Shi smiled, but in his heart he was dissatisfied with Qingrong's indifferent look, "By the way, have you heard that the eldest princess of Changning was demoted from Yongcheng and the concubine to the fief by the order of the saint." ”

Qingrong naturally heard about this, and it is said that the eldest princess of Changning, who was usually domineering, did not have any excuse for this, accepted it calmly, and left with the horse quickly. She nodded, looked emotional, and said, "I've heard a few words about it." ”

Chu didn't know the inside story and wanted to hear some news, so he asked: "But I don't know this inside story, what did you hear about when you and Mrs. Wei came back from the palace that day?" ”

Qingrong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Mo said that I was joking, although I entered the palace with Mrs. Wei Guo, but that's all, how can I know anything about this matter between nobles?" "Even if she knew, how many daring people did she dare to talk nonsense outside? What's more, she didn't think Chu was so credible.

Chu Shi was choked, his face was slightly red, and when he saw that he was so perfunctory, a wave of anger rose from his chest, and it was not good to attack in front of him. She forced herself to pull out a forced smile, "That's right." ”

After the two of them said a few words painlessly and dryly, Chu Shi brushed his sleeves away, not wanting to stay for a moment.

Two days later, when Xue Shao was resting, he deliberately took Qingrong to the Carriage and Horse Courtyard early in the morning. He also knew that Lu Qingran didn't leave the palace so quickly, and knew that Qingrong was worried, but he was not very good at talking, and he was not a good person, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to think about what to do to make Qingrong happy.

Qingrong asked him, "What did you bring me here for?" ”

Xue Shao said: "After a while, you and I will go hunting together, I picked a good horse for you and took you to see it." ”

"Oh?" Speaking of this, Qingrong really forgot about it, but fortunately he mentioned it, and she smiled, "Okay." ”

Xue Shao pointed to a tall and sturdy green horse and asked, "This is it, do you like it?" ”

Although Qingrong is not as good as Xue Shaocheng's dealings with horses, such good horses are indeed rare for her. She was a little pleased, took a few steps closer to look, turned her head and asked, "This horse is rare to recognize the Lord?" ”

"No, it's docile, it's the best fit for you to ride."

Xue Shao saw that she was happy, so he said that he would take Qingrong to the suburbs to ride a horse, so that she could get used to the horse in advance. Qingrong saw that he was also interested, and agreed to come down.

Not long after arriving in the suburbs, Xue Shao came to knock on Qingrong's carriage, he smiled and said, "Come down, I'll take you on a horse." ”

Qingrong glanced at him, feeling funny in his heart, but also according to his meaning. Xue Shao let Qingrong get on the horse first, at first the green horse was still alive and refused to let her approach, Xue Shao took the horse to stroke the horse's head first, and after a while, when the white horse let Qingrong get on the horse, he also followed him on the horse.

Qingrong smiled and asked, "Didn't you say let me ride?" ”

Unexpectedly, the man was serious, stretched out his hand to wrap her in his arms, and wrapped her in a cloak, "I'm worried that it will recognize life and turn you upside down." ”

Qingrong was amused, turned his head to look at him, and said, "I can ride a horse, how can I be so easy to turn upside down?" ”

Xue Shao snorted and asked, "How old are you to ride a horse?" ”

"When I was about eight or nine years old."

Xue Shao nodded, this is not surprising, Daye founded the country by force to win the world, and the heroes and generals who founded the country are all strong in martial arts, brave and good at fighting. Riding and archery hunting is also all the rage in Yongcheng, and even today, there are not a few women in Yongcheng who are good at riding and shooting. Mo said that she only learned to ride and shoot at the age of eight or nine, and even these four or five-year-old children were also very interested in this bow horse.

Qingrong asked, "What about you?" "It is said that a family of military generals like the Xue family should have been exposed to these since childhood.

Xue Shao replied: "I learned to ride a horse when I was four years old, and at first my uncle took me, and then I became more proficient, so I learned to bow horses with my uncle with Lin Rang. ”

"Concession, yes?" This name is ear-scratching, Qingrong thought.

"Lin Rang is Cui Chenyu, the nephew of the third uncle in the Cui family, two years older than me, because of my uncle, he came to the Xue family when he was a child and followed me to practice martial arts with the third uncle and learn bow and horse."

It's him! In this way, Xue Shao has a lot of relationship with this Cui Chenyu, and she nodded casually, "I have some impressions." ”

Xue Shao smiled and said, "You probably don't remember, when I married you, he also came with me to kiss you." ”

"Oh?" Qingrong was slightly stunned, it turns out that he is also here? A very vague and handsome face flashed through her mind... No, that's him, right? Qingrong guessed with some uncertainty. Qingrong asked again, "He is older than you, why hasn't he married a wife yet?" Who are the men in his house? ”

Xue Shao smiled, his tone was a little lighter, and he still replied: "In the past, it was because of his mother's mourning, and later the elders in the family intended to find relatives for him, but for some reason, it was not decided. Lin Rang is now the only child in the family, and his parents are no longer there. ”

Qingrong listened intently and asked, "It's undecided, what is the reason for this?" ”

Xue Shao stared at her, a little sour, "You care a lot?" "It's more important than asking him about it, Xue Shao thought to himself.

Qingrong hadn't realized anything yet, thinking that maybe she should walk around more with Pei Lingniang, but she said, "That's natural." Then he asked, "What about his character?" ”

"Naturally, he is a righteous gentleman." Xue Shao's eyes darkened, with a bit of gnashing teeth, and he hugged Qingrong very domineeringly, snorted, and said, "Even if this is the case, what is there about him that you care about?" ”

Qingrong sighed, and after a while, she came back to her senses, she smiled dumbly, and reached out to pat Xue Shao, "What do you think?" It's just that someone cares, I'll ask a few more words for her, since you know him, I don't ask you, who do you ask? You yourself have told me before, I ask you, will you know everything, do you count? Zhonglang will. ”

Qingrong smiled slightly, there was still a bit of cunning in his eyes, Xue Shao saw her like this, he actually felt a little satisfied in his heart, he smiled lowly, and said, "Make a count." At the end, he whispered in Qingrong's ear: "Then how are you going to repay me?" ”

Qingrong turned his head, glanced at him, and said, "You are shrewd, you are unwilling to do a loss-making business." ”

"Don't dare, you go to the temple to make incense and make a wish, if it comes to fruition, you still have to go back to make a vow, how can you not say that the Buddha is shrewd."

Qingrong raised her eyebrows lightly when she heard this, and couldn't help laughing, she deliberately said: "This is naturally different, the gods and Buddhas have no intentions, and they love the world." I thought you were my husband and naturally willing to do it for me, but do you think that I am also a "vast being" to you? ”

Xue Shao immediately denied it: "Naturally not!" How could she be a "crowd of beings" to herself! Although he knew that she was deliberately teasing herself, when he heard Qingrong say this, his heart was filled with a hint of sweetness.

He looked at Qingrong's smiling side face, and suddenly remembered what she had said to Sora half a year ago. After a while, he thought about the words he had been thinking about for a long time, and said them word by word: "God and Buddha have no response, but people have affection." Only people will care, be able to follow everything smoothly, and respond to everything. ”

The gods and Buddhas have no heart, the heavens and the earth are not benevolent, and it is always people who are motivated.

Qingrong was slightly stunned, first, he felt that this was somewhat familiar, as if he had said it himself. Second, he was surprised that Xue Shao would say such a thing, which coincided with her. But Qingrong naturally didn't know that Xue Shao had heard her say this, and he had thought about it in his heart for a long time before saying it.

She didn't speak, she understood what Xue Shao meant, and after a while, she lowered her eyes and smiled, looked into the distance, and mumbled. It turns out that the scenery of the suburbs in winter is also very good, she thought.

The two of them rode together on their horses and walked slowly. The people who came with him after staying, Ah Zhen looked over and was a little stunned for a while. The warm winter sun shone on the two of them, giving people a layer of faint brilliance, Ah Lang leaned over and leaned over his ears, I don't know what to say to the lady, and the lady also had a faint smile on her face, just like a pair of fairy couples, so beautiful that it was a little unreal.

For men, the hunting ground is not only a place for leisure time, but also like a battlefield, and every time they show their talents, they may be an opportunity to be appreciated by the Son of Heaven and be able to rise to the top.

In the winter hunt in late November, the Xue family only had Qingrong and his wife accompanying them, and none of the descendants of the Xue family had such a special encounter with the sons and daughters who were older than Xue Shao's official position. Xue Shao was fortunate enough to go with him, so he naturally became the most conspicuous one in the family, some people envied him, some people disdained him, and some people sighed... But no matter what, everyone tacitly thinks that at this time, Xue Shao can become an exception in the old party of King Yong, all because Qingrong has gained face on the queen's side. As a result, the Rongguo Mansion has become the object of flattery and flattery by many official wives, and it is even more than before.
