Chapter 84: Meet
Yue Emei was wearing a carmine dotted red gold thread satin jacket, the skirt was delicate and complicated, with a neat Lingyun bun, her red lips coated with bright red lipstick were tightly pursed, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were depressed, and the whole person exuded depression, and a clear-eyed person could see at a glance that she was in a bad mood.
This is the first time Xia Que has encountered her appearance since arriving in Shengjing.
Obviously, something happened.
Yue Emei walked in despair, and she didn't even notice anyone in front of her, her head lowered slightly, passed by Xia Que, and walked in the direction of the backyard door.
With her appearance, Xia Que was a little worried, and called her: "Emei, where are you going?" ”
Yue Emei, who was called, came back to her senses, only to notice the existence of Xia Que, and said with a smile: "I've been in Shengjing for so long, I haven't had a good stroll, I'll go for a good walk today." ”
When he spoke, his eyes dodged, and in the end, he simply didn't look in the direction of Xia Que, and looked in other directions.
Apparently there are ghosts.
The spring sun is just right, the earth is springing, the grass is bursting with tender green leaves, the birds are calling, and the peony flowers are also planted in the potted plants in the backyard of Jinchunfang.
Xia Que was not worried about Yue Emei, the jade beads between the clouds and temples swayed, and a smile bloomed on her white and pure face, and she said with ripples in her heart: "Coincidentally, I haven't been out for a long time, and I am full of spring, I will accompany you out for a walk." ”
Yue Emei's face froze, she couldn't smile anymore, and her eyes were full of complexity.
Under the corridor, the two stood opposite each other.
Xia Que walked up to her, took her hand, pulled the person to the side and sat down, and said seriously: "Emei, but what's the matter?" The two of us have been together for so long, what can't be said, besides, the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, what you can't see clearly, say it and I'll give you an analysis and analysis, maybe you will figure it out. ”
Yue Emei frowned, and looked at the woman next to her.
After a long time, she sighed and said slowly.
It turned out that the person Yue Emei married was named Xu Jingshan, a person from Yangzhou, Jiangnan, whose family had been in business for generations, and had monopolized the entire tea merchant road in Jiangnan.
The two met in Cloud City.
Xu's mother was not satisfied with Yue Emei's family background, thinking that it was not good for people in the rivers and lakes to fight and kill, and she had not given birth to children for several years, so she repeatedly encouraged her son to divorce his wife and marry his cousin.
Xu Jingshan originally had two concubines, and after Yue Emei entered, she drove the two away.
The husband has no children under his knees, and the mother-in-law is pressing.
And the main reason for the separation was that the cousin came to her husband for a few months, and he did not explicitly refuse to drive people away, which also made Yue Emei feel resolute and leave.
Zhaoyang told her before that a man in the morning and evening would not want it.
She walked freely, but Xu Jingshan did not let go, and came to look for her from time to time.
In order to get rid of his family, he decided to take the official career, he had already passed the Xiucai exam, and he arrived in the capital a few days ago, ready to find someone to recommend him. He asked me to meet twice, but I didn't say yes, so I thought I'd meet him today. ”
Xia Que understood what was going on.
It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs.
This kind of thing can only be sorted out by the person concerned, she raised her eyes and glanced at her slightly haggard friend, this appearance is always a little worrying when going out.
Xia Que was going to go to the firewood room to put the woman she bought, and then put her in place, and then see who else was left in her house, and notify the family to pick her up. If those thugs noticed that Jinchunfang had released someone, they might attack the woman again and sell her elsewhere.
It's better to accompany Emei to see the man first, she won't intervene in the affairs of the two, and then deal with the woman when she comes back.
In Jinchunfang, without her orders, those subordinates did not dare to insult women at will.
The problem has finally been solved.
Xia Que made the arrangement, and his heart was greatly relieved, and he couldn't help but show a relieved smile on his face, and said: "I don't feel at ease about your appearance, so it's okay for me to accompany you?" Whatever you talk about is your business, I won't interject, no matter what, I support you. ”
Yue Emei blinked, the bottom of her eyes lit up, her mood was no longer so depressed, and her voice was a little lively, and said: "It's so good, you talk to me on the way, let's meet in Qingfeng Building, it's just right to set off now." ”
Qingfeng Lou is an inn with an elegant environment, and has always only been engaged in the business of dignitaries.
There is not much difference between the two, Xia Que talks more than her sister, and she talks about going to Qingfeng Building as she walks.
It's not far away, and it's going to be there very quickly.
Xu Jingshan people are as their name, the mountains are up, and they have a scholarly appearance, and they are like scholars, and they don't know martial arts, and Yue Emei is the opposite, they like to study poisons and martial arts, and they don't like to read.
His sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and when he saw Yue Emei walking with lotus steps, his heart sank.
There was some sweat in the palms of my hands.
Obviously, he couldn't forget the beauty, and shouted unwillingly: "Emei." ”
The environment of Qingfeng Lou is elegant, all the literati who come here are gentlemen, and the sound is not very loud, and the distance between the tables is far away, which is convenient for guests to enjoy tea and talk.
As soon as Yue Emei stepped on the second floor, she saw Xu Jingshan wearing a crescent moon ruyi moire brocade, his black hair was tied up half with a jade crown and half hung down.
I haven't seen him for a few months, and he's still the same as before.
She walked over with Xia Que with a cold face, and did not give him a good look.
sat down and went straight to the point: "Is there something you asked me to come here for?" Something to say, I'm busy. ”
After a pause, he continued, "Yo, what about your cousin?" She is willing to let you come to the capital alone, when she is in Cloud City, doesn't she have to follow you to death? Hehe. ”
There is a grudge in her heart, and she speaks harshly.
Xu Jingshan was not annoyed, and explained: "I have no selfish relationship with her, I only regard her as my sister, I came to Beijing this time to want to enter the official career, and it is enough to have an elder brother and younger brother in the family's business, I am in the capital, my father and mother can't control me, and my cousin won't come here." ”
After he finished speaking, his eyes glanced at Xia Que, as if he was minding her presence.
In the presence of outsiders, it is inconvenient for him to talk to Emei about these things.
Yue Emei knew what he meant, deliberately took Xia Que's hand, and continued coldly: "She is my best friend, there is nothing I can't hear. ”
Then he continued with what he had just said:
"When we got married before, you said the same thing, but as a result, your mother didn't come to Yuncheng, but also brought your cousin, and she lived for a year, and she couldn't get rid of it, and she told you to divorce me every day, you will only be foolish and filial, and you don't care about my feelings."
At the end, the voice was a little excited.
She cared about it, so she couldn't control herself.
In this quiet building, the person at the next table can hear clearly.
The young couple had a conflict, and the others didn't care, and they didn't look in their direction, if this situation was in an ordinary inn, I am afraid it would have attracted a lot of attention.
