Chapter 68: Guilt
Xue Yan was choked, and naturally he was angry. "Just think I'm nosy! It's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs! I just hope that Brother will one day not regret it! ”
Xue Shao ignored his words and issued a warning: "Don't say these rumors to the outside world!" ”
"Humph! I think my brother is afraid that he is blowing the wind here and blowing his brain confused! ”
Xue Shao said: "I didn't laugh with you!" You and my brother, this time I don't care about you, if you treat me as a brother, don't talk nonsense, be respectful to her, how I am with her, that's a matter between me and her, you don't need to interfere! ”
Xue Yan was also a little stunned when he saw that he was serious and looked like he was not saying anything. After a while, he had to squeeze a sentence out of his throat, "Got it." ”
Xue Shao's face softened a little, but he still admonished: "Just know." You are also a person who is about to get married, and since a man wants to be a husband, he should do his duty and don't delay others! ”
Xue Yan didn't know what to think, but he responded vaguely, said that there was something wrong, and left first.
When he walked back to the study, Xue Yan found that his close guards were already waiting for him in the study. Seeing the person coming, the man stepped forward and bowed and presented a letter, "Lang Jun, it's Xizhou... News over there. ”
Xue Yan was silent for a moment, then reached out to take it, "Go down." ”
He took the letter, but he didn't open it for a long time, and Xue Yan fell into deep thought. The reason why he did that at that time was just moved by compassion, no matter what, he was ashamed of Yuan Min, of course he couldn't and couldn't see her fall into such a situation... But now that he is about to get married, will he still pay attention to her news in the future?
When Xue Shao returned to his courtyard, Qingrong's master and servant had already returned from outside.
He asked, "What about the lady?" ”
Song Yue said: "The lady is in the study." ”
Xue Shao nodded, and then walked in the direction of the study.
"What are you looking at?"
Xue Shao appeared behind her at some point, Qingrong turned his head, smiled, and pointed to the scroll in front of the table, "Look, do you remember this?" ”
He looked in the direction and saw a volume of lifelike, brightly colored figure strokes.
Xue Shao asked, "Is this a painting that Lin Quzi made for me?" ”
Qingrong smiled and nodded, "Exactly, every move you made that day, Mr. Lin painted it for you, and he gave me the painting when he left the city, but when you were not at home at that time, I sent this painting to be framed first, and I only got it today, so I can store it in the future." ”
Xue Shao looked at her smiling eyes, swept away the displeasure just now, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Hmm." ”
"Do you like it?"
"The painting is a good painting, so I naturally like it."
Qingrong smiled, "No wonder Mr. Lin has lived here for a few days, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time just to paint your long painting." ”
Xue Shao looked at her and asked with a smile, "Then when will you also draw one for me?" ”
Qingrong shook his head and said with a smile: "My painting skills are not as good as Mr. Lin, I also paint flowers and birds, this person... I haven't painted it. ”
"That's right, let's start with me."
Qingrong couldn't help but smile and glanced at him, "What if the painting is not good?" ”
He straightened his face, pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "Then I will say yes." ”
Qingrong snorted with a smile, "Flim tongue, no sincerity." ”
"You gave it to me, that's good. Right and wrong are judged by outsiders, and you and I are not outsiders. ”
Qingrong raised his head and looked at him, but he smiled dumbly, "That... Let's talk about it. ”
Xue Shao hummed with satisfaction and said no more.
"You weren't in the courtyard just now, and you went out?"
Xue Shao looked at her and didn't hide it, "Xue Yan is looking for me." ”
Qingrong nodded, not flustered, but asked with a smile: "He has something to do with you?" ”
Xue Shao took her hand and said, "It's okay." He only said that he saw you in the West Market, and there was a man, and there was some misunderstanding. ”
"Oh, that's right." Qingrong nodded thoughtfully, raised his eyes to look at Xue Shao, and asked, "What about you?" Do you believe it? ”
Her clear eyes looked directly at the person in front of her, even if she lied, she couldn't hide it.
Xue Shao looked at her like this, but instead hooked a faint smile, "Who do you believe?" ”
Qingrong pretended to be distressed and said, "What are you thinking in your heart, how do I know this?" ”
"Knowingly asked." Xue Shao glanced at her, and said lightly: "I don't know about others, anyway, you don't care if I misunderstand or not, you will only say yes, how do you think it is me, if I believe you, I don't need to explain, if I don't want to believe it, why do you have to explain?" Am I right? ”
Qingrong couldn't help laughing, she shook her head and said, "Hey, when did you become a roundworm in my stomach, what do I say, you can guess so accurately?" It's amazing. ”
Xue Shao snorted, "In that case, don't you tell me who that person is?" ”
Qingrong smiled and explained simply: "This person's name is Gu Songzhi. I don't have any friendship with him, but I just know Mrs. Wei, and he asked me to help transfer something to Mrs. Wei, that's all, nothing else. ”
Xue Shao frowned and said, "Do you want to do it for you?" Why didn't he send it himself? ”
"He... He has a special relationship with Mrs. Wei, and he is not easy to publicize. Besides, I may not have seen Mrs. Wei for a long time, so I should take this opportunity to visit her. ”
He forgot that before she got married, she had a good relationship with the Guogong Mansion. He asked, "Haven't you always loved these social exchanges between officials and relatives?" ”
In fact, Mrs. Wei is okay, although she sometimes has to do things according to the wishes of Mrs. Cui and the queen, but she is kind and informal, and Qingrong is willing to associate with her. She smiled and said, "What you think is sometimes unavoidable, but looking back at the present, you can't always be so unrealistic." I'm in the back house, and the things of the previous dynasty can't help you, so that's all I can do. ”
Xue Shao looked at her and wanted to say that she didn't have to do this for herself, but after thinking about it, although husband and wife were one, a woman's future glory was mostly tied to her husband... It was he who wasn't good enough to worry her about these things. He felt ashamed of Qingrong, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
"Why don't you speak?"
Xue Shao shook his head, took her into his arms, relied on her, and said angrily: "I feel blessed to marry such a good lady back." ”
Qingrong was funny, "Why are you getting more and more flamboyant now?" ”
"You are so eloquent, I have been with you for a long time, so naturally I have to learn something."
Qingrong stretched out his hand and patted him, and said with a smile: "Yes, in my opinion, you are about to leave the school." ”
Xue Shao looked at her and smiled helplessly, "Naturally, I can't compare to you." By the way, I went out this morning to listen to your cough, I guess you suffered from the spring cold, so I asked my subordinates to boil ginger soup and drink some later. ”
Qingrong looked at him with some surprise, "You know this?" ”
Xue Shao nodded solemnly, with a guilty face, and snorted, "Blame me... Maybe when I had sex last night, I didn't cover you with a quilt and let you freeze..."
Qingrong covered his mouth, looked out twice, bit his lip and said, "Got it, don't say it." ”
Xue Shao smiled lowly and mumbled.
……
In this way, Qingrong was pressed by Xue Shao to drink ginger soup for a few days, and every morning when the sun was getting bigger, Xue Shao took Qingrong out for a walk and sweated, saying that it could dissipate the cold in his body. Qingrong was originally lazy and didn't want to go, but seeing Xue Shao's insistence, he wanted to carry her out, so he had to follow his wishes.
Xue Shao said: "I let you be idle after dinner before, but you didn't want to, so after only a few steps, I was out of breath." ”
Qingrong didn't want to pay attention to it, just took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
Xue Shao took the handkerchief in her hand, "I'll come." As he spoke, he gently wiped the beads of sweat from her face, from the forehead to the tip of her nose, delicate and gentle, I don't know what he thought, and his eyes became darker and darker...
Qingrong was blushed by him, and hurriedly took the handkerchief back, "Okay." ”
Seeing that Qingrong couldn't walk, Xue Shao bent down to carry Qingrong back, seeing that he was about to arrive at Lide Hall, there was no one on the road, and Qingrong was not polite to him, so he leaned over and went up.
When the two walked into the courtyard, the servants and maids who were busy in the courtyard hurriedly retreated to the side, but they were already surprised by this.
Xue Shao's actions are naturally unruly, the husband is respected, and the wife cannot be parallel, let alone the husband is the horse. Qingrong knew in her heart that she had always been a scholar of Lao Zhuang, and she didn't agree with it in her heart, and Xue Shao didn't care about these subtleties, and Qingrong didn't want to abide by the old rules. Moreover, it is not outside, and no one will say anything. The people of Lide Hall have also heard and seen it, and they all know it that it should be the same to treat the lady and Ah Lang in this courtyard, and most of the time it is the lady who is the most effective...
Within two days, Qingrong ordered his subordinates to pay homage to the Guogong Mansion and go to be a guest.
Mrs. Wei was still smiling as usual, which was very different from Gu Songzhi's lonely appearance. When she saw Qingrong, she smiled and beckoned her to sit down, "This is unusual, but it looks forward to you, who don't like to go out on weekdays." ”
Qingrong hid his face and smiled, "These words have tormented me, and it is only when I have free time these days that I can come to find Mrs. Gossip, and I hope Mrs. will not blame." ”
"I also heard about it half a month ago, and I don't believe those words, but fortunately, it's okay now."
Qingrong smiled: "Thank you, madam." ”
Mrs. Wei's eyes were sharp, and she saw the blue glass bracelet in Qingrong's hand, "Your bracelet is very clear and exquisite, look at this craftsman's craftsmanship, it's... Over there in the Western Regions? ”
Seeing this, Qingrong smiled, "Madame has good eyesight, now that there is a period of spring, there are caravans arriving one after another, this is what I bought in the Hu store in the West Market a few days ago, although this bracelet is not priceless, it is better than good quality and exquisite design, and it is good to buy and play." I remember that Madame loved this kind of jewelry the most, so I also picked two for Madame, Madame. ”
Mrs. Wei was naturally happy, Yun Niang presented things, the same is a blue glazed gold bracelet, the same is an amber gilt chest ornament, it looks luxurious and dazzling, Mrs. Wei likes it, and pulled Qingrong to ask what is fashionable now, and she is not tired of it.
Qingrong was strange, and asked more: "Doesn't Madame love to go to the West Market the most, why haven't you been out these days?" ”
