On the second day, Lu Kaiyan really came as invited, but he was the only one who came and did not bring Cui Liniang.

Lu Kaiyan bowed his hand and explained with a smile: "I hope Mrs. forgive me, Neiko is pregnant, if it is cold today, because I don't want her to go out and suffer the cold, I let her recuperate at home, so I didn't bring her with me." ”

Bun in the oven? Qingrong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted with Xue Shao, and said hello to Lu Kaiyan, looking at his smiling appearance, he knew how much he valued in his heart.

Qingrong was also happy for the little couple in his heart, and congratulated: "This is really a happy event!" Changshi doesn't have to be polite, it turns out that we should give our wife and Changshi a happy word! Now that the lady's body is precious, she should take good care of it. I only knew it today, but I was in a bit of a hurry, and I will prepare the gift in a few days, and then send someone to send it to Mrs. Cui. ”

Lu Kaiyan thanked with a smile: "Where, where, then thank Mrs. for your kindness." ”

Xue Shao also said a few auspicious words, but Qingrong looked at him from the side, Xue Shao's expression was the same, but Qingrong was happy, but there was a faint loss in his heart, although he never complained to himself about anything, but could it be that he actually had a thought in his heart, but he just thought about her and didn't say it...

When the dishes and snacks were all ready, Qingrong didn't say anything more, it was all Xue Shao and Lu Kaiyan who were talking. Qingrong had hardly seen Xue Shao get along with his colleagues outside before, and today was the first time. When he was in the capital, Qingrong also set up a banquet to help Xue Shao entertain his colleagues and friends, but because of his identity and large number of people, most of them were divided into male and female seats, and the women in the inner house and the men in the outer courtyard would not meet. Today, Lu Kaiyan and his wife were invited, although Cui Liniang did not come, Qingrong also stayed at the table.

Xue Shao still doesn't talk too much, but it's all about what to say, and there are no roundabouts. Lu Kaiyan is good at talking, and he seems to be an approachable, humble and calm person. These two people are in one place, but they can also be said to be in one place. I just don't know, after Xue Shao told him about this, what his reaction would be?

After finishing the meal, Xue Shao quickly cut to the chase.

And looking at Lu Kaiyan, who was modest, he couldn't help frowning, he didn't agree with such behavior, and frowned and said: "I know the difficulty of the general, but if you really want to cover up the ugliness, ignore black and white, and don't distinguish between right and wrong, what is the difference between this and those who do evil and bend discipline?" What can be done, what can't be done, there must always be a limit. ”

Xue Shao and Qingrong both understood what he meant, and if they didn't agree, the monks of the Thousand Buddha Temple couldn't just fool around with the theft of money.

In fact, this kind of righteous and awe-inspiring words, Qingrong rarely hears people around him talk about it, even Xue Shao will not put this kind of words on his lips, he does have a bottom line that cannot be touched, but many times he is not a person who admits death. And this long history obviously admits this death.

I can't say that he is wrong, but now is not the time to talk about right and wrong, and it is the most important thing to be able to solve the urgent need.

Xue Shao just said: "Shaoze has always been sympathetic to the people, and he naturally knows which is more important. ”

Lu Kaiyan was not without the slightest hesitation, and had to admit that if he agreed, he would naturally be able to solve the problem, but justice still prevailed in him. He didn't speak, and he felt that something was wrong, at this time, could it be such a coincidence? At the beginning, Xue Shao wanted to intervene, saying that the matter might be suspicious, and he didn't want to cause grievances because of his rashness, Lu Kaiyan felt justified and dragged the case, but now that Master Jueming was willing to pay, Xue Shao immediately changed his mind and wanted to settle the matter? This kind of coincidence made Lu Kaiyan have to suspect that this was a game set up by Xue Shao at the beginning in order to force Jueming to pay willingly.

Thinking of this, Lu Kaiyan was first shocked, and then puzzled. Is it? Is Xue Shao such a despicable and shameless person? Besides, the matter of the Kudi clan, didn't he already see through the clues? In this way, he is not without the ability to set up a plan...

Thinking like this, Lu Kaiyan's gaze was complicated when he looked at Xue Shao again, Qingrong saw through Lu Kaiyan's expression at a glance, she was worried that Lu Kaiyan would misunderstand, so she came out to play a round and said: "Actually, the general is not trying to embarrass Changshi, he is also dedicated to planning for the soldiers and the people." The long history is naturally reasonable, this is right and wrong to distinguish, fair and people's hearts to protect. If everyone protects each other and an atmosphere is formed, it will naturally be unprofitable for government. But this time, that time. As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will get through, and now since the situation is difficult to open, the only way to change the matter is the best policy. There are not thousands of truths in the world, but there are hundreds, and there are all kinds of things big and small, but no matter how much and how good this thing is, it is also for people. If you mislead people for the sake of things, isn't it putting the cart before the horse? ”

Lu Kaiyan was silent when he heard this, he was not persuaded by this, but he didn't expect this Lu family to say this, but he was afraid that it was not a simple and ignorant woman, otherwise he would not be so favored in front of the saint and the queen. He glanced at the couple with the same demeanor, and guessed in his heart that these two people should be extremely skillful characters, maybe they had seen through it a long time ago, but now they were just doing it on purpose, and he was kept in the dark like a fool from beginning to end, how could he be at peace in his heart?

Lu Kayan's face sank, he snorted coldly, and his tone was a little bad, "Madame is so eloquent, if you say this, others will become stupid if they don't follow it." ”

And Xue Shao saw that he was angry with Qingrong Yin and Yang, and his face also changed, and he was no longer polite to him, "Shaoze is like this, it is inevitable that he is too ungraceful!" Is this your self-sufficiency? ”

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Qingrong knew that Xue Shao had the intention to defend her, but she was also afraid of angering Lu Kaiyan like this, after all, the two would still have to work together in the future, and it would be bad if it was difficult to make trouble. Lu Kaiyan was choked, and his face was really bad, but he also felt that he was indeed out of grace, and embarrassed the woman, so he still saluted Qingrong and said, "I lost my words after drinking, and I ask my wife to forgive me." ”

Qingrong didn't see annoyance, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay, Changshi is in a good mood today, drink a few more glasses, and quickly ask someone to send sobering soup." ”

After the servant brought the decanting soup, Qingrong smiled and said, "I want to come to Changshi and the general still have something to say, so I won't bother you." ”

Xue Shao and Qingrong glanced at each other, and Qingrong left the table, and it was not appropriate for her to say more at this time. She didn't know how Xue Shao and Lu Kaiyan talked later, but she heard Ah Zhen go back to the room and say that Lu Changshi left with an unhappy face.

……

After the others left, Qingrong asked Xue Shao, "Has Changshi figured it out?" ”

Xue Shao thought about it, and looked at Lu Kaiyan's reaction, "No." ”

"What did you say to him?"

Xue Shao was calm and said, "I asked him if he wanted to discuss." ”

Qingrong snorted and said curiously: "And then?" ”

I said, "You can give him a day to think about it." If you want to consult with him today, you will agree. If he refuses, let him know. Anyway, I will order the withdrawal of the government soldiers early the next morning. In fact, he also took care of Lu Kaiyan's face, otherwise he could have withdrawn people directly, and Lu Kaiyan couldn't do anything, but he didn't do it in the end.

Qingrong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, this person is really! Of course he could have ordered people to be evacuated, but did he say that?

Xue Shao was also a little helpless when he saw her like this, "This face is given by herself, and she is the husband who can bend and stretch." ”

Qingrong couldn't help but smile, glanced at him and said, "Crooked." ”

Xue Shao looked at her and smiled, "Just, I said that you can't do it, I know it in my heart, and I won't be complacent." ”

"Alright, don't coax me." Qingrong said: "But then again, it's not good if you get stiff with Changshi for this matter, I look at his face, I don't think he is a sinister and cunning person, he and Mrs. Cui have good character, but I think he is a little stubborn, you should talk to people well." ”

"If you can turn a corner, you will naturally understand, if you can't, then it's the same for whatever you say. Useless. ”

Qingrong glanced at him with a smile and said, "Oh, I didn't know that the general could see it so clearly when he looked at others?" So why can't you turn around when you drill the horns yourself? ”

Xue Shao's expression was a little unnatural, and he twisted his face, "Well, I can only let you come and correct it for me." ”

This was to the point, and a clear face flashed a flash of inspiration, "You reminded me." Mrs. Cui is happy this time, and I should send something over to take a look. Speaking of which, Liniang and Changshi have a very good relationship, and she is naturally more willing to listen to Changshi. It's better to persuade Liniang to persuade Changshi well... At the very least, don't let him get him wrong.

……

A day later, Xue Shao and Lu Kayan both met Master Jueming, Qingrong didn't know what Lu Kaiyan's attitude was, but I heard Xue Shao say that they had already negotiated with Master Jueming, and around the middle of this month, the Thousand Buddha Temple would privately take out these tens of thousands of yuan.

Early the next morning, the Thousand Buddhas Temple was unsealed.

After an interval of two days, Qingrong came to congratulate Cui Liniang and gave him a pair of gold bracelets, which was also auspicious.

Qingrong probed Cui Liniang's tone and found that she didn't know about it yet, but she probably heard Lu Kaiyan say that she was going to unwind the seal of the Thousand Buddha Temple. In fact, Lu Kaiyan didn't want to hide it from her, but considering that Cui Liniang was pregnant, he didn't want to worry about these things.

Qingrong guessed that since Lu Kayan didn't say it, it was best for her not to say more in front of Cui Liniang, so she swallowed those words back.

Cui Liniang was also very happy to have this child, this is not much old, at home to make a small coat for this unborn child, happy to prepare, "Shaoze said that it was cold outside, told me to go out less, and then take me outside when the spring is warm, I have nothing to do at home, so I want to do some needlework myself and wait for it to come in handy in the future." ”

Qingrong smiled, "Liniang really has a heart, but now you still have to take care of your body and carefully burn your eyes." ”

Cui Liniang smiled shyly, and couldn't help but say: "Shaoze also said Mrs. this, and I am not afraid of Mrs. jokes, now that I am doing something, someone reminds me to be careful, and my ears are really calloused..."

Qingrong was amused and said, "That's because Changshi feels sorry for you, so naturally he keeps an eye on it." When I saw Changshi that time, I only felt that Changshi was a serious person, but I didn't expect that there would be such a worrying time. ”

Probably because Cui Liniang was in a really good mood, she didn't feel tired after talking to Qingrong all morning, and Qingrong also accompanied her to do some needlework, but it was not good to spend a day here, for fear of disturbing Cui Liniang's rest, so she went back at noon. Cui Liniang was bored, and pulled Qingrong and said that she would come and sit more when she was free in the future.

Qingrong smiled and said okay.

Looking at her genuinely satisfied smile, Qingrong also laughed, and didn't say anything more, but suddenly felt a little strange in her heart. When he walked out of the courtyard of the Lu family, Qingrong looked up at the clear sky and sighed lightly. Yun Niang glanced at her, and saw that Qingrong was stunned, she said in her heart that she had guessed, but she couldn't open her mouth. It's not so much that you don't know what to say, but that some words are useless and only make people sad...

Qingrong came back to her senses, she gathered the cloak on her body, and said softly, "Let's go back." ”
