Chapter Seventy-Seven: Dismissive
"Lady, is this reconciled with Ah Lang?"
On the carriage, Yun Niang glanced at Qingrong and asked guessingly.
Qingrong glanced at her, smiled meaninglessly, but his tone was flat, "I don't know, when did you become so bold?" How dare you offend the male protagonist? ”
Yun Niang was stunned, "Lady knows?" ”
"Well, you have always been steady and cautious, I don't know when you are so bold, and you are not afraid of the long announcement of you?"
Yun Niang lowered her head and said, "The maid is just not worth it for the lady!" The lady is kind enough to plan for Ah Lang, but he wants to reconcile with you when he gets a benefit, can't you be angry? If the lady thinks that the maid is inappropriate to do this, let the lady deal with it. ”
Ah Zhen and Song Yue were also shocked when they heard the words on the side, only to hear Qingrong smile, and asked rhetorically: "Don't be afraid, I didn't ask this to punish you, but do you regret doing that?" ”
Yun Niang didn't hesitate and shook her head, "The maid has already thought about it, even if Ah Lang wants to be angry and punished, the maid has to say a word for the lady." ”
Qingrong looked at her, shook his head and sighed lightly: "You don't have to be like this for me next time, it's kind to be a good person, but in the end, you will get into trouble." Fortunately, it was Ah Lang, he didn't go to his heart, and others may not be there. ”
Yun Niang was stunned, a little moved in her heart, and nodded in response, "Yes." ”
"I was really angry then, but now... It's not a reconciliation either. But there are more important things now, and these little things should be put aside for the time being. ”
Ah Zhen said: "The lady didn't know that day Ah Lang came to the house to look for the lady, I saw that his expression was very lonely, and he may have worked hard for a few days, and the whole person looked a lot haggard. ”
Qingrong shook his head and smiled, "He? Doesn't he just have one expression on weekdays? ”
Ah Zhen nodded and thought about it, and couldn't help laughing, "That's right, Ah Lang usually has a cold face, although there is no malice, but it can't be approached, it's just that he looks better at the lady, and he is willing to say a few more words, and he feels very impatient with us people." ”
Qingrong was funny, "Is there such an exaggeration?" ”
Song Yue saw it clearly, and she persuaded: "Ah Lang doesn't seem to be a ruthless person, maybe it's cranky again, what did he misunderstand?" Now that the lady and Ah Lang can talk, just put aside the misunderstanding for the time being. ”
Ah Zhen raised his voice and said: "If this is the case, then we should give him some lessons, let him take it as a warning, and let him dare to say these words in the future, so that our lady will be sad." ”
Qingrong smiled and agreed: "It should indeed be so." ”
Yun Niang smiled at her and said: "I didn't expect Ah Zhen to be young, but she is powerful, listening to you say this, it seems that you don't have to worry about being wronged if you marry someone in the future." ”
A few people laughed and joked, but Qingrong's mind calmed down, and the unspeakable sense of emptiness seemed to be much less. Qingrong did not forget to promise Chang Ning, and after returning to Lide Hall, he secretly instructed people to pay attention to Xue Yan's movements, inquire about who he was looking for, and report them one by one if someone came in and out of the house.
But after a period of time, Qingrong found that Xue Yan practiced martial arts every day in addition to being on duty, which was to get together with colleagues and friends, which was not unusual.
It wasn't until the end of April that Yun Niang came to report that Xue Yan's personal guards had received a letter, and the letter seemed to have been sent from Xizhou. However, it was only confirmed that Xue Yan had a connection with Xizhou, as if there was something important there, but the identity of the other party was not clueless.
Qingrong felt that it was tricky, she couldn't ask in person, if it was fake, it would be ugly; But if it is true, Xue Yan may not tell her the truth, and she is only afraid of more trouble at that time.
When she was at a loss, good news also came that the soldiers led by Xue Shao, day and night, had already arrived at the border of the Western Regions. Ye soldiers and horses arrived one after another, morale was high, Xue Shao was also a general, as soon as he arrived, the whole army broke through the siege and relieved the siege, and the two sides retreated to the camp.
As soon as the news was transmitted back to the capital, the saint was overjoyed, and the number of people who came to the Xue Mansion to say goodbye also increased, which was in stark contrast to the cold court before. Qingrong attended the New Year's banquet held by the second sister-in-law Qin, and was effortlessly praised as the "protagonist" by the Xue family's relatives and guests, and even the Chu family swept away Qingrong's cold eyes in the past and became polite... Qingrong had no choice but to help the Qin family take care of the banquet before and after, and only then did he avoid the flattery of the scene of several cars.
Xue Shao's third uncle, Cui Shi, also attended the New Year's banquet, and when she left, she took Qingrong to her residence with her. These days, Qingrong also often goes to Cui's place, Cui's believes in the way of interpretation, and loves the way of maintenance, Qingrong is also familiar with these, among the young juniors, it is rare to be able to chat with Cui's.
"Oh, sitting on that table, listening to the chatter of the ladies around me, it's really a headache for me. This departure has cleared the ears and roots a lot. Cui sighed.
Qingrong couldn't help laughing, "Uncle really loves to laugh." ”
"I'm fine, but I see that you probably won't be idle after that, so I had to take you to the house today to teach me the scriptures and explain the Fa." Cui Shi felt that Qingrong said it very well, even the master of Lingbao Temple was not necessarily better, and she did not like to go to the temple on the fifteenth day of the first month to listen to the scriptures with people in a group, so she was very much looking forward to Qingrong being a guest in the house.
Qingrong shook his head and smiled: "How come? If the third uncle and aunt want to listen to it at any time, they can find me, and I don't like to socialize outside, so I might as well read more scriptures to feel more comfortable. ”
Cui Shi nodded and smiled, and couldn't help but sigh lightly and said Xue Yanlai, "It's rare that you have this consciousness at such a young age, it's really unusual, I think my family Liulang has to learn from your temperament, he is always impetuous, when should he let him recite these Buddhist scriptures more, and cultivate his self-cultivation." ”
"Liulang is still young, and he will naturally grow with more experience in the future, so my uncle doesn't have to worry too much."
Cui said: "Parents are naturally still worried, I think Chang Xuan has received a lot of this character after marrying you, I don't expect him to be like Chang Xuan, at least he can marry a wife and have children, start a family, don't let me worry about it anymore." ”
Qingrong had no choice but to smile and comfort: "Uncle Fang, don't worry, this will be natural." ”
The two walked up to the room and happened to meet Xue Yan who came back from outside.
Xue Yan saw that Qingrong was also there, and his face was a little complicated for a while, Cui Shi saw Xue Yan stunned in place, his face was embarrassed, and reminded: "Why do you not know the number of etiquette so much?" ”
Xue Yan came back to his senses and saluted, "Sister-in-law." ”
Qingrong didn't care, nodded and smiled, and returned the courtesy.
Cui Shi saw that Xue Yan was rarely there, so he took the initiative to mention it: "You came just in time, Sanniang is about to talk to me about the scriptures and explain the law, you can also listen to it." ”
Xue Yan didn't believe in Shi Lao, he felt that it was all nonsense, he felt a headache when he saw the green smoke in Cui's house all day long, since Lu Qingrong often came, he felt that Cui's followed the devil, and always praised Lu Qingrong... I don't know what kind of ability this woman has, bluffing his family for a while, my brother is like this, even his mother is on her way, and now I want him to sit down and listen? It's ridiculous!
Xue Yan thought of this, and then looked at Qingrong's eyes a little more complicated, he frowned, shook his head and refused, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany me, let's go first." ”
Hearing this, Cui Shi was dissatisfied, stopped him and said, "What's the matter with you?" Running out all day long, they are all people who are about to get married, and they don't know how to settle down? ”
"Auntie!"
Seeing that the atmosphere between the mother and son was not good, Qingrong had no choice but to persuade on the side: "Third uncle and aunt, don't worry, Liulang may really have something important to do, if he is not idle, forget it, if he is free next time..."
Xue Yan raised his voice and interrupted: "I won't be free next time!" ”
"Rokuro!" Cui Shi said, "How can you be so rude to your sister-in-law!" Don't apologize to her yet! ”
Apologies? Then the other party has to be worthy? Xue Yan refused, his face swayed, and he strode away.
Cui's stayed where he was and didn't fight, Qingrong saw the two mothers and sons getting along, and he could understand why Cui's was so keen on health and cultivation, but I was afraid that if it wasn't, I didn't know that one day I would be fainted by Xue Yan, a bastard boy. Seeing that Cui's was out of thought now, Qingrong was not good to bother again, so he left first.
After Cui Shi said sorry to Qingrong a few times, he rushed to Xue Yan's room angrily.
"Why were you so rude? Sanniang is kind to come, you don't say anything with a black face, and you are choking like this, I don't know where you learned the problem! ”
Xue Yan was also angry when he heard this, "Kind? Auntie, do you know what she is like? I know that she is kind, maybe she has ulterior motives? Who doesn't know what she's capable of? Brother was promoted to Zhonglang General at such a young age, and this time the saint personally appointed him as a deputy general, and I am afraid that it will be even more amazing in the future. Look at her is calculating, opportunistic, and a demagogic villain, and the saint is blinded, even Ah Niang! ”
Cui Shi was shocked and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! How dare you arrange it to the head of the saint! Where did you hear all this nonsense? ”
Xue Yan looked very disdainful, "Hmph, even if those people in our Xue family flatter her on the surface now, who doesn't think so in their hearts?" Brother is also because of her light, otherwise how much better can he be than our brothers? ”
Most of the time Xue Yan didn't realize that when he said this, he was more unhappy than happy that Xue Shao had this opportunity, and he felt that he was not worthy... But even if he found out, he would never admit it.
Cui Shi looked at him in disbelief, "Are you crazy? How rebellious and arrogant! This is the ostomy industry! Even if Shiro got the saint's blue eyes because of Sanniang, so what? Who is not selfish, they are husband and wife, what is there to blame for their husbands? Those people are jealous and sour, and they all have a high-sounding mouth, but if they are themselves, they are afraid that they will be even more arrogant than Sanniang, and they will be overbearing in this house, but you see, Sanniang is like this? She has always been humble and submissive, to say that she is calculating and opportunistic, only those people are experts! ”
"Who knows what's going on in her mind?"
Cui Shi said: "I don't know what she thinks in her heart, but I know that she has always treated me respectfully, humbly and politely, as a junior, she has nowhere to blame!" Then I will treat her with courtesy! You keep saying that she is wrong, but what has she done to hurt you? Unfair to you? Or is it not good manners and snubbing you to go? ”
Xue Yan stopped talking.
"It's not even there, so what is your position on this dissatisfaction accusation? No matter what you are, find me a time to apologize to Sanniang. ”
Xue Yan was unwilling, and he didn't respond.
Cui Shi hurriedly said: "Talking to you, did you hear it?" You don't take me as a mother anymore, do you? ”
Xue Yan said in a sullen voice: "No." ”
"Then I told you to go, you will go, not only for your rudeness first, but also for the brotherhood between you and Changxuan the day after tomorrow, you do this, don't you let your brother be caught in the middle and be difficult to be a man? Besides, in the future, we may all have to rely on them and their husbands, and don't offend them easily. ”
Seeing that he was silent, Cui Shi asked again, "Are you going?" ”
Xue Yan was very impatient when he heard this, so he had to respond loudly: "Go." ”
