Chapter 282: The Year of Rush (2)
The lord of Shou'an was fond of Zheng Pingping, the Marquis of Jingping, and thus had a bad relationship with Shen Qingwei, the daughter of the Shen Mansion, which was not a secret among the high-level leaders of the entire Yanjing City.
At first, Shen Qingwei was still a little afraid of King An's face, and retreated several times, but Shou An took advantage of this to be aggressive. Later, Shen Qingwei also got tired of it, and simply stopped caring about other things. For this reason, Shen Qingwei was also told several times by his father Shen Gong, but Shen Qingwei was originally a soft and rigid personality, and it was almost difficult to change the things decided in her heart, and over time, Shen Gong would follow her.
The county lord laughed. I'm really sorry, Sister Qingwei is quite tired, and if you offend, you can hope for the county lord Haihan. β
Slightly surrendered to the lord of Shou'an, Zheng Pingfei walked two steps quickly to catch up with Shen Qingwei, and the two walked side by side, like a fairy couple.
"Humph!"
Shou An stomped his feet fiercely on the spot, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, his eyes showed resentment, and his original dignified beauty was instantly broken, although he was still a rare beauty, but he had already lost a lot of points. Then, for no reason, Shou An turned around and slapped the head of the guard, only to hear a crisp sound, and the red five finger prints were immediately printed on the head of the guard.
"Go home!"
No one dared to say a word more at this moment, for fear that someone would provoke this angry master. The guards followed closely behind the Lord of Shou'an, and after a while, they disappeared at the end of the street.
After seeing the lord of Shou'an walking away, the people on both sides of the street began to gradually resume their speech. Some of them were still watching the direction in which the county lord of Shou'an had left, for fear that her words would be heard by her and cause trouble.
"Hey, this Shou'an County Lord is so domineering, it's far from Miss Shen's family. β
"It's not, otherwise why Marquis Jingping only loves Miss Shen is not without reason. β
"I see, whoever marries this Shou'an county lord will be unlucky. β
"But in my opinion, King An is still very good, he has always been a corporal of Lixian, but how could he give birth to such a rude daughter, it's really incomprehensible. β
"These are not things that ordinary people like you and me can worry about, scattered, scattered. β
............
These market words, Zheng Pingfei and Shen Qingwei naturally can't hear them. It seemed that the appearance of the county lord of Shou'an made Shen Qingwei a little unhappy, and she showed a lack of interest all the way, and she didn't speak, just walked slowly towards the Shen Mansion.
When he walked out of the lantern street and saw that there were many fewer people around, Zheng Pingfei hurriedly walked two steps to Shen Qingwei and stopped her, sighed lightly and said, "Qingwei, I brought you out to make you happy, why should you be angry because of Shou'an." β
Seeing the concern in Zheng Pingping's eyes, the words that had already been contained in his mouth were swallowed by Shen Qingwei again. She tilted her face slightly, and the brocade in her hand embroidered with a picture of a blue water mandarin duck was wrapped between her, until it was so tight that it couldn't be tighter anymore, Shen Qingwei asked faintly: "Then the county lord of Shou'an is also a beauty in the city, and he is also very affectionate to Brother Zheng, so he is not tempted at all?"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Pingyi didn't do anything, but Shen Qingwei blushed first, but the Jinpa entangled in her hand was pulled tighter by her, and there were already a few shallow marks between her fingers.
"Qinghao, you're really thinking too much. Zheng Pingwei finally knew what Shen Qingwei was thinking, and with a slight smile, he raised his hands and gently hugged Shen Qingwei's left and right shoulders, the gentleness in his eyes almost turned into a puddle of clear water, and whispered in Shen Qingwei's ear in an extremely soft tone: "I don't want anyone except Qingwei." β
"Who...... Whoever is going to marry (to you) ......"
Shen Qingwei's face suddenly turned red, it was the first time she heard Zheng Pingyi say such a sensual word in person, and she didn't know how to face it for a while, there were surprises, shyness, and the unhappiness in her heart that was originally caused by the lord of Shou'an also disappeared.
A kind old man happened to walk behind the two of them, and when he saw this, he might have thought of something happy, and a knowing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his feet quickened slightly, and disappeared on the other side of the street.
However, this also made Zheng Pingwei hurriedly let go of Shen Qingwei, but his free hands didn't know where to put them, and when he was at a loss, he inadvertently touched Shen Qingwei's softness.
"Yikes!"
Shen Qingwei blushed suddenly, and in a hurry, the brocade in his hand suddenly fell, just covering Zheng Pingping's toes.
Zheng Pingfei was worried about the embarrassment between the two and didn't know how to resolve it, so he immediately squatted down and planned to pick up Jinpa. Shen Qingwei just wanted to say no, but Zheng Pingfei had already picked up Jinpa.
Seeing the Jinpa in his hand, Zheng Pingphong felt more embarrassed on his face, this Jinpa is Shen Qingwei's favorite on weekdays, and it has always been placed close to him, this time he held it in his hand, feeling the little delicate and smooth ~ moist feeling from the Jinpa, as if he held Shen Qingwei's soft pinch with his own hands.
This brocade is the private thing of the woman in the boudoir, and it has never been touched by a man. Although the two have a marriage contract, they have never been intimate. When Zheng Pingfei hugged Shen Qingwei's shoulders just now, the two of them were already embarrassed, and they were even more at a loss at the moment.
Zheng Pingfei handed Jin Pa to Shen Qingwei, his right hand was hanging in the air, neither advancing nor retreating, and Shen Qingwei was the same, his mind was already in chaos. Although Zheng Pingphong is nominally his fiancΓ©, at this moment it is only the meaning of the elders in the family, and there is no formal engagement......
If other high-ranking officials and relatives of women encounter this, I am afraid that they will immediately ask people to dispose of this Jinpa, and they will definitely not reach out to pick it up, but Shen Qingwei doesn't think so, or rather, she has never had such a thought.
Rou Yi gently lifted it, opened it with a touch between Zheng Ping's hand, pulled the corner of the Jinpa and pulled it over, and then didn't shrink Rou Yi in his sleeve, as if he didn't dare to see people.
Zheng Pingfei stared at Shen Qingwei, looked at her and lowered her head shyly, and then asked with a chuckle: "Now, don't be angry with me." β
Shaking his head slightly, he didn't know if he was angry or if he was saying something else, Shen Qingwei was silent, but the blush on his face did not fade for half a minute.
The two started again and walked side by side towards the Shen Mansion.
After this, the two felt a little more intimate, although no one spoke along the way, but the distance between the marches was a little closer, perhaps they had already walked out of the embarrassment just now, the corners of Shen Qingwei's mouth slightly raised a subtle smile, hidden between the thin lips and teeth.
The two walked all the way to the gate of the Shen Mansion, and finally stopped. At the time of parting, Zheng Pingfei seemed to be a little reluctant, but he didn't step forward to knock on the door for Shen Qingwei as soon as possible. He turned to look at Shen Qingwei beside him, took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Shen Qingwei in an unprecedentedly gentle tone:
"Qinghao, there's something I've always wanted to tell you. You also know that I am determined to serve the country, and for my Zheng family boy, only the battlefield is our destination. My father has already taken care of everything for me, so I will leave for Yunzhou in a few days. β
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue to Shen Qingwei, which made her feel overwhelmed. Although this kind of rumor was mentioned by Shen Qingwei as early as half a month ago, being said by her lover at this moment still made her heart feel an unspeakable bitterness.
lowered her head slightly, and her hair covered her eyebrows, so that Zheng Pingfei suddenly couldn't really see her charming face, and then her shoulders began to tremble a little, and Dou Da's tears began to fall, and she actually sobbed on the spot.
"Qinghao, I ......"
Zheng Pingfei suddenly panicked, but this is outside the main gate of the Shen family, and the people living around him are all members of the imperial court, where does he dare to get close to Shen Qingwei, and wants to say comfort, but he doesn't know what to say, and the two of them are speechless for a while.
Shen Qingwei is the eldest lady of the Shen family after all, and naturally knows the severity, although she is reluctant, she only sobbed for a while and then gradually stopped. Looking up at Zheng Pingping, the apricot eyes with tears looked at Zheng Pingfei with some reproach, and said softly: "This matter ...... You should have let me know sooner...... I'm not...... It's not ......."
The second half of the sentence was not said after all, and the two were speechless for a while.
"How long are you going?" Shen Qingwei asked in a deep voice, as if he had made a decision in his heart.
"Three years...... Zheng Pinghong said slowly, in fact, even she herself was not sure.
Shen Qingwei raised his head, looked at Zheng Pingfei, and said in a condensed voice: "In that case, Qingwei is waiting for her brother at home, waiting for her brother to come back and marry Qingwei in three years." β
After that, Shen Qingwei suddenly blushed, but she was already a very assertive person, and since she had already decided, it was difficult to change it.
Shen Qingwei took out the Jinpa from her sleeve, because of the previous nervous mood change, the originally delicate Jinpa had been crumpled into a ball in her palm at the moment. She carefully spread the brocade handkerchief in the palm of her hand, and Shang's pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water were as gorgeous as ever.
She folded the Jinpa letter, and then put it in Zheng Pingping's hand with a red face under Zheng Pingping's stunned gaze.
According to the folk customs of the Great Wei Dynasty, the girl in the boudoir gave her personal brocade to her sweetheart, which was to decide that she would never change her heart for this person in this life and this life.
"Qing Wei is waiting for this brother to come back. Shen Qingwei's teary eyes drooped.
Zheng Pingwei had mixed tastes in his heart, he put the Jinpa close to his body, felt the residual warmth between his fingers, stretched out his hand and interlocked Shen Qingwei's ten fingers, and said word by word extremely firmly: "In this life and this life, except for Shen Qingwei, I, Zheng Pingfei, will never marry her as a wife." β
The bright moon hangs high, silently witnessing everything.
That year, eighteen-year-old Zheng Pingphong and fifteen-year-old Shen Qingwei made a lifelong commitment.
