Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 40
Chunliu was already handsome, but now she looks like a pear blossom with tears, which is even more lovable.

She didn't wait for Ning Yong to agree at all, she just wanted to untie her nepotism on her own.

Ning Yong suddenly stood up, Qingjun's face was covered with frost, and his voice was deep: "What are you doing?"

Chunliu looked at Ning Yong, and suddenly knelt down: "Mr. Erlang, the master and wife want to promise Chunliu to Mr. Dalang, but Chunliu doesn't want to. Chunliu only likes you... Chunliu doesn't want a title, just wait It's good to be by Erlang-jun's side...Erlang-jun, I beg you, Chunliu..." While speaking, she had already torn off her clothes, revealing a piece of snow-white.

Ning Yong suddenly covered his eyes with his hands, took a deep breath, and then whispered: "You like me, but I don't like you. You will only become my burden if you stay by my side."

After he finished speaking, he strode out.

After a while, Chunliu heard him shouting: "Zhou Quan, Zhou Quan, fetch water!"

Zhou Quan responded not far away.

Chunliu lay on the ground, sobbing softly.She understood that she had no chance.She will always be trapped in Ning Feng's room that is always filled with the smell of medicine, and spend the rest of her life as a widow.

And the person she likes will call her sister-in-law.There is always a huge gap between them.

Chunliu started to convulse from crying.

This cold winter came fiercely and urgently.

The drizzle fell on the tiles, making a pleasant sound.

There was a knocking sound outside.

It was five o'clock, and the whole of Kyoto fell into a dreamland.

Song family.

Something seemed to be crushed in the yard, making strange noises.

Song Jingxing suddenly opened his eyes.

Outside the long floor-to-ceiling windows, there are two air-dead wind lamps, which project dim light in.

The sound of rain was pattering, as if it was the most ordinary rainy night.

Song Jingxing sat up quietly, put on the coat that was draped on the bed, walked barefoot to Duobaoge silently, and took out a long stick from it.

Then, he walked to the window and looked outside against the glass window.

There was no one in the yard, only the rain branches kept falling, soaking the cobblestones laid in the yard.

Song Jingxing stood motionless and did not go out to check.

After a long time, he saw a black figure stand up cautiously from the back of the big vat in the courtyard, but stood still as if it had been frozen.

Song Jingxing didn't say a word either, he just stared at the black shadow with scorching eyes.

After a while, the black shadow finally moved.He stretched out his right foot cautiously, as if preparing to step on it.But no, his feet were hanging in the air, but he hesitated, and he couldn't fall down.

Song Jingxing's breathing was extremely light.

"predict".The strange noise sounded again.

The black shadow quickly retracted its right foot, and hid behind the big tank again.

Song Jingxing looked at the black shadow expressionlessly.

Liang Shangjunzi, who visited his house last time, was frightened by these bu bu sounds, and yelled in the yard, thinking he had run into a ghost.

Song Jingxing twisted his neck gently.

It seems that the stranger who visited this time is not very clever.

That black image didn't dare to try it anymore, it has been hiding behind the vat, and there has been no movement for a long time.

Song Jingxing suddenly pushed open the door and walked out.

He casually walked under the eaves, looked around, but hurried back to the house as if he was afraid of the cold.

That black shadow no longer came out from behind the vat.

The rain continued until dawn and finally stopped.

Song Jingxing slept soundly for two hours, and was woken up by Tao Liuniang, who was frowning: "Da Lang, that Wednesday, Meisheng will bring you the imperial food. Do you want to eat it or not?"

Song Jingxing got up and stayed on the bed, opened the door and let his mother in.

His mother put on the padded jacket again today, making her waist look extremely strong.Seeing that Song Jingxing was only wearing a thin coat, Tao Liuniang muttered, "The weather has changed today, you should wear more."

Song Jingxing rolled up his sleeves, showing his strong arms: "I'm not afraid of the cold."

He stood there, with extremely broad shoulders, extremely narrow waist, and bulging muscles. At first glance, he was someone who was used to work.

Tao Liuniang looked at her handsome son, and suddenly said: "Da Lang, my mother went to Dongshi yesterday and met Miss Chen Er."

Song Jingxing hummed: "What will Mother go to Dongshi to buy?"

But he didn't ask Chen Er a word.

Tao Liuniang opened her mouth, but said nothing.She only ordered: "Wednesday beauty is in front, when you go out later, go through the back door." She handed her son the deliciously baked scallion pancakes, and then a bowl of hot spicy soup.

Song Jingxing looked at the scallion pancakes: "You made them on Wednesday?"

Tao Liuniang shook her head: "Can I accept whatever she sends? If I accept it, I'm afraid the whole person will be posted in our Song family."

Song Jingxing bit the scallion pancake, and said to his aunt: "Since she is a thick-skinned person, don't let her in. If she mentions me again, aunt will say that my heart is devoted to Buddha and I have no intention of marrying a wife."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a blow from Tao Liuniang: "You don't want to marry a wife because of Erniang Chen?"

Song Jingxing's face became slightly stern: "It has nothing to do with her."

After eating the pancakes, he cleaned his hands and told his mother: "The lady I found for my sisters will arrive around today. You go out and hire someone to clean the room where the lady lives."

Tao Liuniang couldn't bear to spend that money: "It's been cleaned up a long time ago, you can just do things with peace of mind. The big donkey has been fed and cleaned for you." She was thinking about whether to change her son's horse or buy a sedan chair.But she heard that officials either ride tall horses or ride sedan chairs, and no one rides a big donkey all day long.Although the big donkey of their Song family is very strong, it is still a bit inferior compared to the tall horse.

Song Jingxing didn't mind his mother's thoughts, just thanked his mother as usual, opened the French windows, and walked to the back of the big tank in the courtyard.

A layer of fine sand was laid on the back of the big tank. Because of the rain, although the footprints on the fine sand were messy, they were very clear.

That person was in a panic last night, he certainly did not expect that his footprints would be left so clearly.

Song Jingxing glanced at it, but felt a little surprised.

Junzi Liang Shang who visited his house last night, even though he was wearing a face scarf, he could still see clearly that he was a small and thin man.

But the footprints on the back of the vat were extremely huge, almost reaching the size of his feet.

Song Jingxing took out a thin roll of paper from his pocket, and was about to rub the footprints on the fine sand, when he suddenly found half of the shallow footprints beside the messy big footprints.This half of the footprints was exactly in line with that person's stature.

I see.The gentleman on Liangshang last night was not alone.

Song Jingxing worked behind the vat for a while, then led the donkey and walked leisurely to the Ministry of Industry.

This late spring cold is fierce, and there are few pedestrians on the road for a while.

Song Jingxing arrived at the Ministry of Industry unhurriedly, and before he reached the construction project of the Ministry of Industry, he saw Ma Shilang sitting in the hall with half-lidded eyes, looking at him.

Song Jingxing tied up the donkey in a leisurely manner, and then walked in unhurriedly: "Xiaguan has seen Ma Shilang."

Ma Shilang smiled slightly, but chatted with him in a normal way: "Mr. Song's donkey is well-raised."
