The fingers were not red, but if they looked closely, Xue Yuxiao's outfit was really hasty. Xue Mingyan frowned, asked the servant beside him to get the embroidery, took a sandalwood comb to re-tie her hair, and asked, "Came in such a hurry?" ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "It was my mother who took me too quickly!" ”

The second brother couldn't help laughing: "What is this statement?" How could Mother kidnap you, it must be that you were washing and bathing, and you didn't have time to speak, and the group of stewards were afraid of being blamed by your mother, so they talked about the matter in a hurry——"

Xue Yuxiao nodded obediently.

Xue Mingyan pulled an ordinary bun for her, and pinned her sideburns with a withered lotus hairpin, which was fresh and elegant, and detached from the world. As soon as Xue Yuxiao wanted to thank him, he heard footsteps coming outside.

There were often courtiers and Xue Sikong discussing matters here. Xue Mingyan didn't have time to explain in order to avoid outsiders, pointed to her untied sleeves, turned around and walked back to the inner screen.

As soon as the door opened, it was none other than Xue Zeshu. Just after she has been gone for so many months, Xue Zeshu's white hair has grown many roots, and she looks like her temples are pale. Xue Sikong saw her waiting by the stove, her body had lost a lot, and her longing suddenly surged, and he stepped forward and hugged her daughter, holding her shoulders, and the first sentence was: "I heard about you outside." ”

Xue Yuxiao pricked up his ears, a question mark popped out of his head, and he said in his heart: "What? What did you hear? ”

Xue Zeshu patted her on the back, first comforted her, and then looked angry: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, there is a mother to call the shots for you." What kind of bullshit Yongzhou Cen is just a local chicken and a dog's ears. Those bastard kings and eight lambs, dare to release cold arrows at the old lady's daughter, and don't rectify them, I really don't know who I Xue Zeshu is! ”

Xue Yuxiao said silently: "Didn't ...... at me"

Sikong touched the top of her hair lovingly, touched the bun that Xue Mingyan had just arranged out a little loose hair, couldn't put it down, and said: "My mother has some relationships, and those idle Qing officials in their family will be taken back by the Ministry in the name of cutting the official system." In this way, I also have a reason to visit Yuan Fangtuo again and ask the Yongzhou scholars she sheltered, whether they really didn't take our Xue family in their eyes and attacked and killed the imperial court Qincha - does she Yuan want to rebel? ”

Although she is a loving mother, Xue Sikong's ability to sometimes see the stitches and use the topic to play is indeed the old spicy experience of officialdom that can be immediately figured out. Xue Yuxiao realized that she wanted to completely hold Shanhaidu in her hands, and the powers of navigation administration and water conservancy have always been a little vague.

In recent years, the tax of water conservancy and customs, and the management of freight navigation were handed over to the Yuan clan of Runan, who had a very high prestige, and was led by Yuan Fangtuo, the secretary of Taifu. However, whether it is Xue Zeshu or Li Jingyao, they all feel that these powers belong to them - water politics has always been in a relatively chaotic and entangled state.

Xue Yuxiao said silently in her heart: "I don't know if she Yuan Fangtuo wants to rebel or not, but your baby daughter is sharpening her knife." ”

Xue Zeshu pulled her to sit down and said: "This happened to me unexpectedly, for my mother thought that you would definitely offend the scholars, but you were deceived and hindered, and you couldn't implement it halfway, so you are ready to write a letter to complain, and let the emperor send more people and soldiers." However, you not only subdued the Yong and Yu prefectures, but also made them respectful and afraid, shocked and afraid, and even the folk reputation was very good...... My daughter is the Kunpeng who came into the world, and she should soar thousands of miles. ”

Xue Yuxiao thought for a moment and said, "Folk prestige? Although I have done good deeds along the way, I do not think that this matter can be broadcast for thousands of miles and make the people grateful. After all, the matter of checking the nationality still hurt the hearts of the northerners to cultivate in their homeland. ”

Sikong said: "Homeland? Their homeland is Yanjing, not Yuzhou! After speaking, Xue Zeshu turned to say, "You treat things fairly, and you have good deeds, and you have inspected various counties for several months, but you have not hurt the people in the slightest." What's more, there is also the blessing of the reputation of the master of the bright moon......"

Although Xue Zeshu didn't press the table, in fact, there was no lack of blessings from the Xue family behind it. The Xue family is a top wealthy family in Jingzhao, with a large population in the natural land, and also has old friends and manpower in the surrounding areas of Jingzhao and neighboring counties. On the day when Xue Yuxiao left Beijing, the letters of Lord Sikong contacting the old and students were also spread to various places, and with her face, many people would secretly help to create momentum.

After talking about business for a while, the attendant outside the door stepped forward to report and said, "Master mother, young master, Cui Qigongzi is here." ”

"Please come in."

Xue Yuxiao was slightly stunned.

"Dr. Cui Xiaoshen is currently working in the Palace Medical Department, but his whereabouts are still uncertain, so it is difficult to invite him. Xiao'er, although you have not been injured, but after all, you are out of Beijing with illness, I am afraid that you have left some root cause of illness under your hard work. Xue Zeshu was thoughtful, "Cui Qi is straightforward and naïve, pure and kind, and has excellent medical skills. Our family also has a relationship with the Cui family, so please ask him to come and take the pulse as a mother, not to mention that he looks good...... Lovely words......"

When Xue Yuxiao heard the back, he felt a little wrong: "Mother? ”

Xue Zeshu coughed lightly, got up and said, "I'll go out for a walk." With that, he really pushed the door and left.

Xue Yuxiao was left indoors, a little confused about the current situation. She straightened her belt, and when she looked up, she heard a proper knock on the door. Xue Yuxiao said, "Please come in." He didn't come in at once, but moved a few steps, stared at her with a head, and when he realized that she was the only one in the room, the tense seriousness of his body suddenly disappeared.

Cui Jinzhang stepped into the threshold and added a milky white thick sleeved shirt with a fluffy neckline. He made a bow and spread a soft futon on the seat, and then sat down, his eyes facing her were bright and dark: "You are back, Lord Sikong asked me to take your pulse." ”

Xue Yuxiao nodded: "Mother feels bored, so she just went out for a walk." ”

Cui Jinzhang was very happy that he didn't need to see Xue Sikong, in the face of high-ranking elders, no one could not be unrestrained. He put down the small wooden box, and while untying the medicine bag on his back, he said in pieces: "Your wind and cold have not been cured, so you are so tired and tired." I ran out without telling me, did I tell you to rest well and take medicine on time? ”

Xue Yuxiao stretched out his hand and said, "The situation is compelling, this time I asked for leave, and I can stay in Ruyi Garden to rest for a long time." ”

"Okay." Cui Jinzhang said, "The chef in Ruyi Garden is at a good level, and the Yanjing pea yellow is very sweet...... If I go to eat, you won't be reluctant, will you? ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "No." ”

Cui Qi's hand was on her wrist, first concentrating on the pulse, and she had a bottom in her heart. He was about to withdraw his hand, when he suddenly saw that the cuffs of her sleeves were not too regular, and a section of the lining was turned out...... The lining is lined with fine stitches and embroidered with the pattern of vermilion peony. The bright red embroidery against her wrist was so white, delicate, slender and well-proportioned.

Cui Jinzhang was slightly stunned for a moment, and his hand was under the peony. Beneath her fingers is her vigorous and vibrant beating, representing her strong body.

He suddenly remembered that the two of them had met for the first time in the autumn harvest banquet room, and she came down from the horse farm, with a steaming heat, a cloudy face, moist skin and thin sweat, and a rich and warm fragrance all over her body.

The third sister is a military general who can get on the horse-drawn bow, and she is a marquis with military merits, and she has been working for many days with a sick boat, and she can still make people feel this vigorous meaning. It seems that from Xue Yuxiao's not wide body, the power to pry heaven and earth can burst out.

"How?" Xue Yuxiao looked at him and was silent for a long time, and asked.

Cui Jinzhang hurriedly came back to his senses, looked into her eyes, and immediately avoided elsewhere. His hand was retracted as if it were burned, and his fingertips rubbed the edge of the sleeve of his robe secretly, and said, "Very good...... It's strong, can, can be the night of the ten men......"

Xue Yuxiao: "...... You ......"

What kind of ridicule is this!

Rao is the soul of Xue Yuxiao's modern people, and he can't help but be intimidated. She knocked on Cui Qi's head with her fingers, and woke up the little divine doctor who didn't belong to her mind: "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Cui Jinzhang's face turned red: "Did I say anything?" Me, I...... Recently, I was revisiting the atrial surgery taught by Master Ge, and my mind was a little wrong...... I'm sorry! ”

He became serious, and his judgment of himself was very firm: "But your health is very good, Lord Sikong can rest assured." ”

Xue Yuxiao shook his head and smiled, but he immediately asked, "You and Pei Langjun...... Or a confidant? ”

This is the statement she took out to deal with Cui Qi when she and Pei Yuxue had never made their minds clear. At that time, Cui Qi found out that Pei Yuxue was still a virgin, and had doubts, in order to hide the secret that the two did not have a round house, she said that she and Pei Lang were confidants.

Bosom friend? Do you have a confidant who hugs and gnaws?

Xue Yuxiao's face was a little unbearable, and he said, "Confidant...... Confidants also have confidants......"

Cui Jinzhang nodded in understanding, and he also guessed. A person with an outstanding demeanor like Pei Yuxue is often accompanied by Xue Yuxiao, and it is inevitable that the two will fall in love for a long time. His brows furrowed tightly, thinking that Brother Pei treated him well, he felt guilty for a while.

How can you think of her? All I could remember was the rustling of her changing clothes behind her that day...... Ah! I didn't even look at it at the time!

A second after this thought popped up, Cui Qi raised his hand and pinched himself, tears turned in his eyes in pain, and he said in a low voice: "It's a big loss." ”

"What's the big loss?" Xue Yuxiao approached him and asked him.

A similar aroma penetrates the tip of the nose. Cui Qi's face changed sharply, as if he would become a despicable villain who didn't know how to be kind if he was caught by this fragrance again, and hurriedly got up and wanted to escape. Xue Yuxiao grabbed him and said seriously: "I still have something to ask you, but ......"

She thought that the second brother was taking care of the furnishings in the inner room, in case she heard some palace affairs, or the eldest brother's recent situation was uneasy, it would inevitably be bad for him. So he proposed: "The plum blossoms in the Taiping Garden are blooming, let's go out for a walk." ”

Cui Jinzhang was hot by her wrist, let out a low "um", and went out with her.

Xue Yuxiao walked from the front, and Cui Qi was half a step behind her. She walked out of the council chamber, across the verandah, through the central axis of the Taiping Garden, and into a plum forest.

This plum forest is extremely delicate, bright red and dazzling, like clouds, and there are still traces of the light snow that has fallen a few days ago.

Xue Yuxiao walked inward, thinking about how to speak. And Cui Qi's face behind her became redder and redder, and he speculated in his heart: "Third sister...... No, no, what did Captain Xue bring me here for? Previously, Xue Sikong seemed to have hinted to his father, saying that I am a good person...... She's not going to talk about it too, is she? I'm not married, and I've been practicing ......medicine all my life."

"Do you have to be alone in your lifelong medical practice? If she gets tired of officialdom at any time, she retires. Will they also be able to go to various places together to practice medicine? Cangzhou's icy and snowy land is desolate and picturesque, and Yangzhou's landscapes are hazy and beautiful......"

Cui Qi stared at the hem of her cloak, and his thoughts drifted aimlessly away-

"Let's have two children, a girl and a boy. Called Xue Jianwei, Xue Zhizhi. What a name, I'm a genius at naming...... Or is this kind of thing to let Xue Sikong decide? She's the child's grandmother. ”

Just thinking about it, Xue Yuxiao suddenly stood still.

Cui Jinzhang hit her headfirst on the back, came back to his senses, touched his forehead with his hand, sniffed, and said, "Third sister......"

"Shichiro is a medical officer in the palace, so he must be able to enter and exit the palace freely. I have an important matter that I need to discuss with Feng Jun, and I can't relay it to others, I have to say it. Xue Yuxiao turned around and asked him earnestly, "Do you have any way?" ”

Cui Jinzhang said: "This is what you want to tell me? ”

Xue Yuxiao nodded, realizing that his request was actually more difficult: "Is it too difficult for you?" ”

Cui Jinzhang stared at her face, looking at her gentle eyes. Xue Hou's eyes were so tender and charming, even if she herself only smiled slightly, there was a hint of flirting with the autumn waves.

Cui Qi's face was flushed, he touched the place on his forehead, held it for a long time, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Apologize to me!" ”

Xue Yuxiao was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that you didn't look at the road and bumped into it. But she was emotionally stable and empathetic, and said, "I hit your head." I'm really sorry, but I don't have eyes on the back of my head, so I didn't hurt you, did I? ”

Cui Jinzhang bit his lip and said seriously: "It's not this!" ”

Xue Yuxiao: "...... What's wrong with you? ”

The little doctor looked at her face, unable to speak, and his expression changed rapidly. He recalled the oath he had made, and while feeling ashamed and guilty, he counted his unwillingness, and his will wavered, and at the same time, he kicked the plum tree as if he was discouraged.

The plum blossoms trembled, and the petals and snow fell on him.

Cui Qi has cherished living beings since he was a child, and when he stepped down, he immediately regretted it, squatted down and patted the trunk of the plum tree, and apologized sincerely on the ground: "I'm really sorry for kicking you." I don't have eyes on my feet,......" he raised his voice and said confidently, "I didn't hurt you!" ”

Xue Yuxiao: "......"

Cui Jinzhang stood up: "Forget it, forgive you." ”

Tomorrow sunset red should be full of paths (1)

Chapter 62

Cui Jinzhang cleaned up and said that forgiveness is forgiveness, so he sorted out his mood and asked her in detail: "Is there such an important matter?" Can't you pass it on to MeMessage? ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "It's important. If it weren't for my personal dictation, which was only passed on by letter or oral, I am afraid that Feng Jun would not be able to fully believe it and would have fallen into a dilemma. The eldest brother has been in the palace for many years and is very cautious, and I don't want him to let too much speculation hurt his spirit. ”

There is also truth to that. Documents and letters can be forged, and if there is some major event that leaks the news, it is forged by political enemies. If Feng Jun is gullible, it will be a catastrophe for the Xue family. However, Xue Yuxiao personally entered the palace secretly to meet her, and once she was discovered, she would immediately arouse the emperor's suspicion - she had just gained some of Xie Fu's trust.

Cui Jinzhang leaned against the plum tree, bent his fingers against his chin, and thought for a moment: "The palace guards are dense, the handover is tight, and there is almost no space in the middle. Feng Jun has to deal with many harem affairs a day, and many times there are internal servants and servants of the province and Mo Xiaolang around to report and serve, and there are many people. I used to go to him at noon to ask for peace, but there was no one to go back and forth...... The afternoon is quiet, and it is a time to talk. ”

But......

Cui Jinzhang raised his eyes and looked at her. Xue Yuxiao looked over intently.

Xue Sanniang has a beautiful face and eyes like a pool of water...... If that Li Qing is worried about Uncle Li, his eyebrows are handsome and handsome, he can pretend to be a little bit, is she......

Xue Yuxiao looked at him, saw that Cui Jinzhang was silent for a long time, lowered his eyes and glanced at his body and up, and asked, "Is there anything inconvenient to say?" It doesn't hurt if you speak up. ”

"Okay." Cui Qi nodded and said simply, "I was wondering if you could pretend to be a man and wear men's clothes into the palace...... I'll occasionally bring two medical guys to help, and if you change your disguise properly, it's not abrupt. ”

Xue Yuxiao imagined that scene for a moment, and his mind froze.

Cui Jinzhang said: "When you meet Feng Jun in private, you can also have brother and sister feelings as a cover. If you're caught dressed as a man, I'm afraid you'll have some quirks in the middle of Jingzhao. ”

Mannerism...... The corners of Xue Yuxiao's forehead throbbed, she pressed her forehead, and glanced at Cui Qi: "How can I hear a little joy from your words?" ”

"Nope!" Cui Jinzhang hurriedly denied, moved his gaze to the side, and said with a straight look, "I didn't think about you pretending to be a man...... I wasn't expecting anything from it. ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Lying will be punished by the Sanqing Patriarch." ”

Cui Qi's face changed, and he immediately recited a few good words from the ancestor in his heart, and no longer spoke indiscriminately.

"It's putting you at risk." Xue Yuxiao paced and wandered, thinking and hesitating in his heart, "This is a forbidden act in the palace, and relatives are not allowed to meet Langjun in the harem privately." It's okay if nothing happens, but if something goes wrong and it implicates you, I'll ......"

"There is no complete stability in all things in the world." Cui Jinzhang took over the words, his eyes were black and white, and his expression was sincere, "When I followed Master Ge to practice medicine, I traveled the world as a son, and I was threatened and hindered a lot, what is this risk?" Could it be that Xue Duwei went out of Beijing to inspect his nationality, and the risks and crises he suffered were still few, and he acted decisively, decisively, and must not look ahead and think too much about others...... How do you know I'm not willing to take this risk for you? ”

Xue Yuxiao was stunned, and had a feeling that he was instructed by Cui Jinzhang's eight classics education. She was not dissatisfied, but suddenly brightened, raised her hand and thanked: "Then there is Lao Qilang." ”

Cui Jinzhang accepted calmly and raised his hand to return the salute. He finished saying this smoothly, but was disturbed by the last casual expression of affection, not only felt that he should not say such a thing, but also felt that the love was natural and natural, and there was no need to be ashamed, so he swallowed his saliva and raised his head again.

He was only full of guilt when he thought of Pei Yuxue, and he didn't have much to avoid his feelings.

Xue Yuxiao discussed the details with him, and after a while, he felt that there was some wind outside and the temperature dropped sharply, so he stopped talking and sent someone to send Cui Qi back to the hospital, and she personally went out and sent it to the carriage.
