Chapter 67: A Piece of Sincerity
Gu Songzhi shook his head lightly and said with a wry smile: "If I knew, I wouldn't have to bother Madame." ”
Qingrong didn't want to get involved in the matter between the two of them, she said politely: "Gu Langjun is different from me, even you don't have a clue, and I have no way of knowing when others think about it, so how dare I say right and wrong in front of Mrs.?" What's more, if the lady is not dissatisfied with Gu Langjun, but I have the audacity to speak, but it is self-defeating, how can I be good? ”
Gu Songzhi also seemed to have expected Qingrong's reaction, and he was not too surprised, he just smiled, "Even so, I don't want to be strong." ”
Qingrong nodded and smiled: "The bell must be tied to the bell, how can others interfere in the matter of Gu Langjun and his wife?" Gu Langjun is an understanding person, and Madame will definitely understand your mind. As for this ceremony... If it is useless, I naturally dare not accept it. ”
Gu Songzhi nodded a little lonely when he heard this.
Qingrong didn't want to stay any longer, so he said goodbye according to the courtesy.
At this time, several Lang Jun were gathered in the restaurant, and someone shouted: "What are you waiting for?" ”
Xue Yan didn't turn his head, waved his hand, and motioned for them to go first, "I'll come later!" ”
He just stared at the private room of the restaurant that Lu Qingrong had just entered, and saw that it had been a long time, but the person had not come out yet.
Seeing that he was doing something like this, the people who were traveling with him refused to leave first, and they all waited in place to see what Xue Yan was waiting for.
Xue Yan and his companion came down from the private room next door, and he knew that there was a man with excellent looks inside, who seemed to be waiting for someone to come to the appointment, but he didn't expect that it would be his cousin-in-law who came next.
Qingrong was leaving with his subordinates, and as soon as he came out of the private room, after walking a few steps, Gu Songzhi chased him out from behind and called, "Madam, slow down!" ”
Qingrong turned away, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Although it was just a glance, Xue Yan immediately recognized the woman, and sure enough, it was her!
Xue Yan frowned, immediately retracted his gaze, urged the horse to raise his whip, and said coldly to his companions: "Let's go." ”
Gu Songzhi saw that Qingrong was difficult to convince, so he changed his rhetoric, he lowered his attitude, and looked aggrieved and forbearing, plus he was really outstanding, which soon attracted the guests to wait and see. Qingrong couldn't help but feel a beat in his heart, he... And what are you going to plan?
Gu Songzhi said: "Madam, if Madame is inconvenient to intercede for Madame, I can understand Madame's difficulties, but I also ask Madame to help her in the next small favor and bring this thing to her." ”
As he spoke, he took out a delicate sandalwood box from his sleeve and handed it directly to Qingrong.
From the time he chased him out to handing her the things in public, Qingrong felt that Gu Songzhi had already planned it, she didn't want to pull him in front of everyone, but she really didn't want to get involved in the matter between him and Mrs. Wei.
Seeing that Qingrong refused to take it, Gu Song took a step forward and opened the box in front of Qingrong, inside was a golden hairpin and a letter, after closing it, he whispered: "Madame, don't worry, it's just an ordinary gift, Madame is willing to help me, I won't make it difficult for Madame, if there is a chance in the future, Gu... I will definitely repay my wife. ”
Qingrong glanced at him expressionlessly, took a step back, reached out to take the box, and smiled coldly, "Gu Langjun is serious, there is no need to repay him, we just take care of our own affairs." ”
Gu Songzhi didn't care, and nodded in response: "What Madam said is true." ”
Qingrong saluted and said: "I will convey it for Gu Langjun, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first." ”
Gu Songzhi saluted, "Madame, go slowly." ”
As soon as she got out of the restaurant, Ah Zhen stepped forward to take the box from Qingrong's hand, and after a few people got into the carriage, Ah Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "This Gu Langjun is really sincere to Mrs. Wei, and his heart is firm." ”
Qingrong shook his head, but he didn't think so, a sincere heart? Looking at his calculating appearance, who can know if he is sincere or not?
Seeing that Qingrong didn't speak, Song Yue reminded aloud: "Lady, just now the maid seems to have seen Xue Liulang in the third room." ”
Xue Yan? He's here. Qingrong asked, "Did he see us?"
Song Yue thought for a moment and said, "Most likely, but I don't know if he recognized the lady." ”
Ah Zhen was a little worried, "This... If he saw Gu Langjun, he wouldn't have misunderstood the lady... Let's go out and talk nonsense! ”
Song Yue shook her head and reminded: "This kind of thing, how can he talk about it everywhere, after all, he still has to take care of the whole face, but if he really misunderstands... Ah Lang's side probably will also know. As she spoke, she glanced at Qingrong.
Qingrong's expression was the same, but he was not worried about this matter, but just said, "I know." ”
Ah Zhen wondered and asked, "Lady?" ”
Qingrong explained: "If he doesn't believe it, even the explanation is useless, and if he believes me, I don't have to worry about it." As she spoke, she then asked Yun Niang, "We haven't been to the Guogong Mansion for a while, right?" ”
Yun Niang nodded, "It's been some time." ”
"I've not been busy lately, so I'll find a time to visit Mrs. Wei at the Guogong Mansion."
Yun Niang and the others nodded in response.
Qingrong lifted the curtain, glanced out, saw people coming and going on the road, and the shops on the street were dazzling, "I haven't been to the West Market for a long time, and I don't know what is fashionable now, so it's rare to come, so let's go and take a look." ”
Ah Zhen said: "Now that spring is coming, I heard that the caravan of the Hu people in the West Market came two days ago, and the new goods from the Western Regions are pressed, can the lady go and take a look?" ”
Oh? Recently a caravan has returned. Qingrong nodded and smiled, "Let's take a look." ”
Qingrong remembered that Mrs. Wei was the most fond of visiting the West Market to find some rare things, and at this time she must have been a frequent visitor to the West Market, but she had never heard the shopkeeper say that Mrs. Wei had come to the West Market, which made Qingrong feel a little surprised.
Although spring has begun, the willows by the lake have not yet pulled out their buds, and they are still bare, so that people can't feel the spring.
Xue Yan and Xue Shao were sitting in the small pavilion in the lake, and they saw Xue Yan's expression like the gray spring scene, which was not very relaxed. Xue Shao was also resting today, so he accepted Xue Yan's invitation to come to his uncle's house, and when he saw him like this, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Looking for something else for me? ”
Xue Yan only thought that Xue Shao didn't know people clearly, and was kept in the dark, frowned, and said, "Something." ”
Xue Shao felt that he was strange, and looked at him suspiciously, "If you have something, just say it." ”
Xue Yan was a little difficult to speak, and Xue Shao saw that he was hesitant, so he said, "Inconvenient? It's inconvenient to tell me what to do? ”
Xue Yan was stuck in his chest when he heard this, looking at his cousin's indifferent appearance, and suddenly for a moment, he might be able to understand why Lu Qingrong was entangled with other men.
Xue Yan clenched his fists to his mouth and coughed once or twice. Thinking about how to maintain Xue Shao's face so that he wouldn't be unable to get off the stage, he pondered: "Sister-in-law is doing lately? ”
Hearing this, Xue Shao raised his eyes and glanced at him, "What did you ask her to do?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a few more questions, I don't know if it's completely over?"
Xue Shao didn't speak, just looked at him.
He had also heard about the previous incident, and he didn't understand Xue Shao, Xue Yan said: "Actually, at that time, Brother didn't have to worry so much, if you refuse to admit this matter, and push the matter on Sister-in-law, Mingzhe will protect himself, and Brother will be fine..."
"What do you mean?" Xue Shao's face sank, and he said coldly: "She is not at fault. ”
If he did so, what difference would he have from those who had harmed her? Is this also worthy of a husband? Can you have half of the responsibility of being a human being?
Xue Yan was surprised, "Could it be that Brother, after running forward and leaving for this matter, is so dedicated to it, it is for Sister-in-law." ”
Xue Shao asked rhetorically: "Shouldn't it?" ”
"Brother treats people sincerely, I'm just worried that Brother doesn't know people clearly, and he doesn't know anything about being deceived, so it's just a waste of your sincerity!" Xue Yan snorted coldly and said, it is said that this kind of thing will not be known if it is not for the close ministers and chamberlains. But today he met the living lang Wang Zhiming because of the Erlang in the Duwei's Mansion, they ate wine together, and after three rounds of wine, this Wang Zhiming confided a few words about the events of the day.
"Who knows if she's like a brother? Presumably Brother has never heard that the saint summoned his sister-in-law into the palace that day, and he deliberately favored her in the palace, and left her sister-in-law in the palace, and even the queen was kind enough to keep her in the palace... Maybe sister-in-law has a way to excuse herself, so why should you..."
A harsh voice interrupted Xue Yan's words, Xue Shao waved his hand and dropped the cup in his hand, his face was gloomy, but he still took a deep breath, and asked coldly: "When do you also love to spread rumors and make trouble, talk a lot, and listen to the wind is rain?" Did you see it with your own eyes? What did the saint tell you personally? ”
"I..." Xue Yan was choked, but he couldn't refute it, he blushed, and said unfairly: "I'm kind, brother, don't be deceived!" ”
Who knew that Xue Shao said categorically: "She won't, I believe her." ”
Xue Yan didn't care about it, and said: "I also saw her in the West Market today with my own eyes in the same room with a man, and I can't figure it out!" ”
Xue Shao stood up, but his first reaction was to choose to question him: "How many times have you seen her?" Open your mouth to talk nonsense, shut up and slander, could it be that you understand her better than me, a serious husband who shares a bed with her? ”
Xue Yan also stood up and snorted coldly: "It's hard to say, there is a way for bystanders to be clear!" I don't understand, Brother has never been a blind person, is it so necessary to be a sister-in-law? Brother for what? ”
Xue Shao didn't speak, but thought about it seriously.
Xue Yan was too superficial for Xue Shao to talk about because of his own reasons, and he said bitterly: "Brother, there are so many good-looking women in the world, why bother with only one?" When Xue Yan said this, a bright face unconsciously flashed in his mind... How could you suddenly think of her, she was really stunned!
Xue Yan shook his head and looked back at the man in front of him.
Why? Just because it's her, and nothing else.
Intelligent, beautiful... There are not many such women in the world, but he feels that not all the advantages are worthy of love. Qingrong is not a perfect person in the eyes of the world, she has her calculations, and she has her means... Even if she doesn't fully trust herself, but so what, she is also an ordinary man, why should she be demanded?
He likes her only because she is clear-looking.
Xue Shao glanced at him coldly, but ignored him, and said: You are really troublesome. ”
