At most, the affairs of the imperial court and the palace have become the gossip of the people after tea and dinner, and these gossip also seem to have a time limit, which will cause a sensation at first, but once it passes, it will make people feel boring.

Recently, I heard that the eldest princess of Changning went to the fiefdom and became ill for some reason, and when she saw this, she wrote a letter to implore the sage to allow the eldest princess of Changning to return to Beijing to recuperate. The saint was worried about his siblings, and he couldn't bear it, so he agreed to the invitation of the horse, and the princess was to return to Beijing.

At this time, it was a coincidence, not long after Wei Boqin's accident, the eldest princess Changning couldn't sit still and wanted to come back with her husband, it was hard not to think of something.

"What do you think? Why do you always see you absent-minded lately? Su Shi stretched out his hand and pulled Qingrong a hand.

Qingrong came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly, "It's nothing, I just heard my sister-in-law talk about this, and I can't help but think that the eldest princess of Changning has been away from Beijing for almost a year, and this day has passed really fast." ”

Su Shi hugged the boy in his arms and coaxed him with a smile, "Isn't it?" You see that these two siblings and children have been born, and in a few days, we will have a full moon wine for our Erlang. ”

Qingrong also smiled, and also reached out to touch the baby in the swaddling clothes. The arrival of this child finally swept away the gloomy atmosphere that had accumulated in the Xue Mansion for many days, and added a bit of joy to everyone's panicked faces.

Su Shi asked again: "By the way, when is your sister-in-law's marriage scheduled?" Now you're ready, if you need any help, just ask me. ”

"Now it's almost planned, and I've already found a diviner to calculate the date, and it's set for the first day of May." Qingrong thought for a while and said, "If my sister-in-law is free then, I want to ask my sister-in-law to go with me to shop for Siniang." ”

Su Shi smiled and responded, "Okay." ”

Saying that, Su put the child back on the bed, told the nurse to take care of it, and the two went to Qin's house. Su Shi asked, "What about A-Niang?" But go back first? ”

Qin Shi glanced at Qingrong and said, "When you went to see the child, A-Niang didn't know what she was thinking, and her face was not very good, so she didn't sit here for long before leaving." ”

Su Shi and Qing Rong glanced at each other, not because they didn't understand what Lu Shi meant. Su Shi just sighed lightly, and then diverted the conversation and said: "I think about it, Liulang's marriage has also been decided, and it is set in June, which is a coincidence, this period is full of happy events, seeing that Liulang is now married and starting a business, this time the uncle and mother should also rest assured." ”

Qin Shi said bluntly: "This is not accurate, although this marriage is a happy event, but it is not that everything will be fine when it is married, I just heard that Liulang has been wandering around the wine shop these days, and he is drunk when he returns..."

When Qingrong heard this, he couldn't help but stiffen, and his mood was a little complicated for a while.

Su said: "I mean, after the wedding, there is someone by your side who can supervise, don't you let people worry?" ”

Qin waved his hand, disapproving, "Sister-in-law is big-hearted, how can there be such a good thing?" Don't say Rokuro, isn't Shiro like this? It's not that he hasn't come back for a few days, and he came back drunk yesterday, isn't he..."As he spoke, Qin saw that Su was busy glancing at her, and Qingrong's expression suddenly darkened, and Qin realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Qin's heart is not bad, but his mouth is fast, and everything is said first with his mouth, and then his brain thinks. She glanced at Qingrong apologetically, and said, "That Sanniang, don't be angry, I'm talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”

Qingrong shook her head and smiled, "What the second sister-in-law said... It's also true. ”

Su Shi hurriedly said, "Alas, you just listen to her nonsense, maybe she didn't come back because she was busy with business, as for this drinking, you also know that it is indispensable for men to push the cup and change the cup when they get together with their colleagues outside." ”

Qingrong was a little absent-minded, but just responded a few times, "Sister-in-law said yes." ”

Ever since Xue Fangji was released, something has begun to be wrong with Xue Shao... became more and more silent, I don't know what he was pondering, Qingrong knew that he was angry and lost at being left out in his heart, Qingrong was relieved, but he didn't tell Qingrong about it, Qingrong didn't want to mention it rashly, somehow, the two gradually became relatively speechless.

One day he came back from outside, but he was so drunk that he refused to let go, but he refused to say a word. Qingrong saw it in his eyes, and he was also very heartbroken, thinking that he was like this because he had a slim future and did not meet him. She persuaded her, but Xue Shao just looked at her and didn't speak, looking lonely, but told her not to worry.

Qingrong thought that Xue Shao would cheer up, but who knew that he didn't return home for a few days, and he never sent anyone back to report the news. He'd never been like this before, but now... I don't know why it's like this. Xue Shao still cares about her, but his heart is gradually estranged from Qingrong...

Qingrong asked his guard Xue Chang about his situation, but even Xue Chang didn't know why.

Qingrong was trapped in her own thoughts, and she didn't listen to what they were saying, she lost her mind, just sat down for a while and went back.

Su Shi glanced at the back of the leaving, and couldn't help but count down the Qin family and said, "You! What nonsense is Sanniang's face talking about! ”

Qin's heart was a little weak, and he said, "Oh, I'm also quick to talk... I'll be sure to pay attention next time. ”

……

"Have you discussed this matter with Sanniang?"

Xue Shao snorted, his expression blank.

Lu Shi looked at it and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, "Then what did she say?" ”

Xue Shao lowered his head and said silently, "I don't want to embarrass her." ”

Lu Shi hurriedly persuaded: "How can this be called embarrassing? You and Sanniang have been married for almost two years, and your eldest brother and second brother have several children, but you haven't moved at all, so I'm naturally anxious for you. I wanted to persuade Sanniang for you, but you stopped me and refused to mention it in front of her. But if you really think about her, don't you know how she can stand if she has no heirs? I look at the matter of taking concubines, you don't want to shirk with me anymore, don't worry, even if the heirs are concubines in the future, I and your grandfather will treat Sanniang as always. ”

Seeing that Xue Shao was silent and didn't speak, Lu's tone couldn't help but become anxious, "Speak, if you don't say it, I will admit it to you." ”

Who knew that Xue Shao slowly raised his eyes and looked at Lu Shi, his tone was indifferent, as if he had thought about it many times in his heart, "Son... I want to reconcile with her. ”

"What?" As soon as Lu Shi heard this, she stood up suddenly, and she slammed the table hard, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Sanniang is such a good-natured and capable girl, where do you find it? Don't you know how to cherish it! "What's more, now that Qingrong has a face in front of the queen, no one knows, the Xue family is no longer treated as a saint, do you want to push Qingrong out and provoke the queen's disappointment? I'm afraid that the future is even more bleak!

Lu Shi thought about it for a while, and felt that it was wrong, how Xue Shao treated Sanniang before, she also saw it in her eyes, how could she say that she wanted to leave so easily?

She looked at Xue Shao suspiciously, and saw that Xue Shao's expression was gloomy, not like she was pretending to be retreating. Lu Shi sighed lightly and slowed down his tone, "If you don't want to, don't you want to, do you need to say this?" Did you quarrel with Sanniang? ”

Xue Shao shook his head, and his tone was dry, "No, I'm serious." ”

Hearing this, Lu Shi couldn't help but raise his voice, "What are you fooling about?" Why do you talk about reconciliation without quarrels? Are you doing well? Because I want you to take a concubine, Sanniang is unwilling? ”

"She didn't."

She's good, she's always done well. So good that he felt that he was not worthy of her.

In the past two months, Qingrong has been like a fish in water among the officials, and no one looks down on her and treats her warmly. Xue Shao was not jealous and angry about this, he just felt that with his Qingrong ability, he could have done a good job, or even better. But when she thought of her uselessness and inaction, she felt that she was burdened by herself.

Lu Shi was puzzled and asked, "Then why are you?" ”

"It's me, it's me who doesn't want to talk to her anymore... Married again. When he said the last few words, Xue Shao felt an inexplicable tingling pain in his heart, he was unwilling and reluctant, but he couldn't delay her, he could only give up and fulfill it.

No matter what, he doesn't want to end up with her husband and wife... It's better to let it go.

"You... You! What are you crazy about! Seeing that she couldn't speak, she changed her tone and persuaded: "Don't be so disobedient and insist on going your own way!" ”

She said a lot of words to Xue Shao again, but Xue Shao didn't eat oil and salt, and he didn't listen to persuasion at all. The Lu clan had to ask him not to worry about it with Qingrong first, and then talk about it later.

Xue Shao only replied vaguely, and Lu Shi didn't know if he really agreed, or if he was just casually perfunctory.

Qingrong returned to the courtyard, but he didn't see Xue Shao's people. She asked, "What about Ah Lang?" ”

Yun Niang glanced at her and said cautiously: "I heard that Mrs. Lu came to Ah Lang and has something to say." ”

At this time, it should be those things that he said, Qingrong nodded casually, but he was absent-minded. "Go down first."

Hearing this, Yun Niang and Ah Zhen retreated lightly, and as soon as the door was closed, Qingrong heard Ah Zhen lower her voice and asked Yun Niang, "What happened to Niangzi and Ah Lang lately?" ”

Qingrong took a deep breath, and then exhaled again, what's wrong? She also wanted to ask, what's wrong with Xue Shao recently? But he probably wouldn't say anything to himself.

At this moment, Xue Shao also returned.

Seeing this, Qingrong got up to greet him and asked, "I'm back, does A-Niang have something important to look for you?" ”

Xue Shao shook his head and said in a calm tone, "It's okay, but I asked a few casual questions." ”

Qingrong knew that this was not the case at all, but she also knew that if she wanted to force him, ask him what he didn't want to answer, and force him to do what he didn't want to do, he wouldn't say it or do it anyway.

She had no choice but to give up.

The two of them finished their supper quietly and silently, and did not say a word until the rest of the night.

The two of them lay on the couch at night, Xue Shao turned his back to Qingrong, and Qingrong called softly: "Changxuan, are you asleep?" ”

The other party didn't respond, Qingrong didn't know if he was asleep, and he had just been lying down for a long time. Qingrong was silent for a while, closed his eyes, and Qingrong thought that he might be in a bad mood to be like this.

Xue Shao thought that Qingrong was asleep, turned over and stared at the person in front of him, looking at her sleeping face, refusing to look away, he reached out and gently stroked her cheek, and after a while, a soft kiss almost did not fall on her face.

Qingrong's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't open his eyes.

Why? She didn't know what attitude to treat him for a while, as usual? Or is it like him, cold and detached?
