Chapter 113: A Brief Silence
The afterglow fell all over the sky, and the sky slowly darkened, and smoke rose above the houses in the distance. Ah Zhen stood outside the door, but she was in trouble for a while.
Since Ah Lang went in, he didn't come out again, and the lady didn't call anyone in to serve, Ah Zhen and Song Yue didn't know about it for a long time, so they also guarded and didn't allow anyone to disturb them, but seeing that it was dark at this time, why didn't there be any movement in the house... Are you going to eat this dinner?
Ah Zhen really hesitated to remind him, but he heard a rustling sound from inside, and Xue Shao walked out refreshed.
Ah Zhen was originally a little afraid of Xue Shao, but seeing that he was in a good mood, she dared to step forward and call: "Ah Lang, the dinner kitchen is ready, can you bring it in now?" ”
Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Qingrong's complaining eyes just now, if someone was asked to go in and accidentally see her like this, she would probably feel uncomfortable. So he shook his head and said, "Just bring me the food box and bring it in, you don't have to let people come in and serve." ”
Ah Zhen nodded in response, and couldn't help but think, Ah Lang tossed the lady so much this time that he couldn't even see anyone... So her fear of Xue Shao was a little more secret.
When Xue Shao carried the food box in, Qingrong hadn't gotten up yet, Xu was extremely tired in the afternoon, Qingrong was still with his eyes closed, and his breath was unevenly lying on the soft pillow, revealing a neck that was as white as jade and had a little red marks, which was really intriguing.
Xue Shao chuckled, thinking that it was better to call her up for dinner and then rest, otherwise it would be easy to accumulate food if she ate too late. As soon as he stretched out his hand, before he could reach anyone, he heard Qingrong close his eyes and said lazily, "I want to drink water." ”
Until she got up and drank water, she didn't even give Xue Shao a look, Xue Shao was not annoyed when she saw this, but reached out and rubbed her waist, "Get up and eat something?" ”
Qingrong shook his head and said, "No appetite." ”
Xue Shao thought that she was still annoyed that she was too much, and said with a smile: "Don't annoy me? Next time... However, this fact is difficult to say. "This really can't be blamed on him, the two have been married for many days, and they have become more and more tacit, and their appearance has faded to be green, and they are becoming more and more coquettish, making it more difficult for people to give up and separate, he always feels that it is not enough, so he is also presumptuous today... This time, I couldn't hold back, but I still stayed inside.
Qingrong reacted to what he was talking about, and couldn't help but smile, "What are you thinking?" ”
Seeing that Qingrong was willing to smile at himself, Xue Shao's heart was relieved, and he also smiled, "I thought you were angry about that and refused to pay attention to me." ”
Qingrong looked at him and smiled helplessly, I just felt tired and didn't want to move. ”
has been in love with Xue Shaoen for a long time, and she seems to have become much more bold and straightforward, and she is not shy about talking to him about things in the room, she said bluntly: "As for this time... It doesn't matter, after all, you and I were distracted at that time, and I don't blame you. ”
Xue Shao looked at her lingering face, couldn't help but hold it, and kissed it carefully, Qingrong pushed him away with a smile, and said, "Okay, it's not enough." ”
Xue Shao pressed against her face and jokingly said, "Who pestered me to not let me go today?" I have no conscience, and I refuse to let me kiss when I get out of bed. ”
Qingrong looked at him: "I don't blame you, you blame me?" ”
"Nonsense! I rejoiced. ”
Qingrong patted him, "Okay, you call water to come in and clean it for me." ”
"Skipping meals?"
Qingrong shook his head, "No appetite." ”
Xue Shao said: "How can it be done?" Or I'll feed you? ”
Qingrong glared at him with a smile, "I don't want to eat, it's not that I can't eat it." Go for it. ”
Xue Shao did as he was told, Qingrong looked at his departing back, and shook his head funny, this person is really getting more and more exaggerated.
Originally, Qingrong planned to wait for Xue Shao to come back, find time to visit Cui Liniang, and give Xue Shao a disturbance, but she didn't remember it until the second day.
……
The Lu family.
Cui Liniang was drinking the decoction on the bed when she heard the maidservant come in and say, "Lady, Mrs. Lu is here." ”
Cui Liniang put down the medicine bowl and said busily: "Hurry up and invite Madame in." ”
She has been sitting in this confinement for more than half a month, since she gave birth to Da Lang, she has not seen Qingrong, I heard that people are coming, Li Niang can't wait to see her.
Qingrong entered the room and said with a smile: "Li Niang, are you feeling better?" ”
Cui Liniang beckoned to her and said with a smile: "My body is already clean, and I have raised some of it these days." You're finally here, and I'm still thinking of seeing you. ”
Qingrong carefully looked her up and down, nodded and smiled: "Sure enough, her complexion is much better, and her face is round." By the way, I have sent you some bear meat and deer blood, and I have already asked someone to take it down. ”
Li Niang was surprised, "At this time, there is bear meat?" ”
Qingrong nodded, "The hunters outside the city sent it, I heard that deer blood is good for women, so I sent it to you to nourish your body." ”
Li Niang also heard Lu Kaiyan talk about praying for rain, she didn't expect Qingrong to really invite rain, now the people of Xizhou City have long changed their attitude towards Qingrong, and they all think that she is a living Bodhisattva who can call the wind and call the rain, and naturally there is no shortage of people who apologize and thank you.
Li Niang smiled and thanked, "Thank you for remembering, I also heard about the previous things, you are really amazing." ”
Qingrong shook her head and smiled, "Liniang, don't say that, it's just in response to the will of heaven, if the sky doesn't want me, this matter won't be done." It's up to me to thank Changshi for being busy and arranging it for me. ”
Li Niang said: "It should be." ”
After that, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing again.
Li Niang smiled: "Okay, don't be polite, it's tiring to listen to." ”
"Yes, by the way, your eldest man can bring it well these days?"
Speaking of the child, Liniang's eyebrows were full of smiles, and she nodded: "Da Lang is very obedient, he doesn't cry at night, he eats obediently during the day, and the doctor said that he is in good health." ”
Qingrong nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's a good boy." ”
"He should wake up at this time, I'll ask the nurse to bring it over to you to see." With that, Cui Liniang went to call someone.
Qingrong glanced at the male doll wrapped in swaddling clothes, he was not afraid of life at all, his big eyes looked at the adult in front of him, Qingrong curled his fingers, and nodded his little face, he giggled and drooled. "It's so cute."
Qingrong glanced at Yun Niang, Yun Niang handed over a box, which was a heavy longevity lock, which Qingrong picked up and put on his swaddling clothes.
Cui Liniang glanced at the lock, and said when she saw this: "You are too polite, how can you have such a valuable lock for children?" ”
"The child is still young, so he needs to be kind."
Cui Liniang also remembered that that day, Wang Duwei's wife Liu came to visit and gave some gifts, including a piece of jewelry, which was given to her, and it was also inlaid with gemstones.
"It was said that it was handed down from the Gaochang royal family in the past, and she later asked people to melt and make new jewelry."
Mrs. Liu is now diligent, and when Qingrong first came before, she secretly told herself to be careful of landing Qingrong. But when rumors were flying all over the sky at that time, Ke Liniang didn't even see her, or Qingrong helped her family, what is the people's heart, where can't I understand?
Qingrong's eyebrows raised slightly, "Gaochang's old things? How could Mrs. Liu have? ”
"I don't know about this, Mrs. Zhang likes to talk to her, and I don't know if she transfers it privately."
Qingrong nodded, and even talked about Mrs. Zhang, and couldn't help but think of Lu Changshi telling her last time, this Ju Duhu is really sick, and now that the king of Qiuci has entered the court to make offerings, the affairs of Qiuzi are all in charge of Ju Shizi and Qiuci General Zanxian.
Cui Liniang also thought that Lu Kaiyan was very worried about the situation in Qiuzi, and she said: "This Ju Dudu is not young after all, I don't know what turmoil this disease will cause." ”
But Qingrong asked: "Does this Mrs. Zhang seem to be married to Ju Duhu for a short time?" ”
Cui Liniang nodded, "But it's only a few years ago, there is a lady in front of Ju Duhu, and then Mrs. Zhang passed away, so she married Mrs. Zhang, in fact, this Mrs. Zhang also has some relationship with Ju Duhu before." ”
"Oh? What is the origin? ”
Cui Liniang said: "Mrs. Zhang's sister was married to the last king of Gaochang before, and she was Ju Duhu's sister-in-law. ”
Qingrong was a little surprised, "I see, I've never heard of Mrs. Zhang's sister." ”
"The people outside don't know what the dead country is, but how can those who know talk about these things all day long?"
Qingrong smiled, "That's right." ”
"Speaking of which, when I was in the capital in the past, I also met Mrs. Zhang's sister by chance, she was born like Mrs. Zhang, she was amazingly beautiful, but her life was not good, I heard that his husband and children died in the war, and later he was escorted to the capital, and Ju Shizi depended on each other."
Qingrong also knows some of the old things of Gaochang, and the current Xizhou is the former Gaochang country. In the first battle of that year, the Ye army broke through Gaochang, and the king of Gaochang heard the news of the city, and in a fit of anger, he vomited blood and died. And the Gaochang royal family has long since withered, and now the most righteous man is only a Ju Shizi.
In fact, the rise and fall of a family and a country is the most difficult for people to judge right or wrong. Whose home is not a home, and whose kingdom is not a country? Most of the previous things were the handiwork of Ju Shizi, squeezing out Xue Shao and Lu Changshi, and winning over Xizhou Gaomen, which can be known without asking.
But Qingrong and the Ju family have different positions, so naturally they will not agree with his approach. She also sighed lightly when she heard the words, but didn't say anything.
Cui Liniang's mood is also a little complicated, "Because of this, Ju Shizi treats her very respectfully." Now that Ju Shizi has returned to the Western Regions, she has also come back with her, which can be regarded as bittersweet. ”
"The environment of the capital is still very different from that here, and in the end, it is the homeland that people are more accustomed to."
Cui Liniang also said yes, she thought about it, and said, "By the way, I don't know if you have heard of something." ”
Qingrong smiled and shook his head, "You don't want to sell it to me." ”
Cui Liniang's face was a little complicated, and she said: "I just heard that this Ju Shizi is about to marry a flat wife, and he said that he is from the Qi family in Xizhou." ”
……
"Woo woo I'm going to run out of manuscripts."
