Linglong

Chapter 48

Seeing Xu Chuanjie's leaning back, Linglong was quite surprised, and couldn't believe it for a while.

Am I dazzled?

The requirements for women in this era are still very strict. Legal and reasonable feelings are limited to parents, relatives, and family members. Young girls’ affection and love for the opposite sex are not allowed, and they are ashamed to see others.But a lady like Xu Chuanjie, such a daughter of the Hou family, showed something to Song Changqing in front of Linglong!
Tiny little joys rise from the bottom of Linglong's heart, and the more they rise, the happier they become, like the clear spring water in a kettle on a small red clay stove, it's so beautiful that it wants to sing and bubbles.

"It's the first time in my life to be an iceman, and that's how I succeeded?" Linglong said in a daze.

Linglong didn't dare to expect such extravagance at all.She had estimated Xu Chuanjie's reaction. If Xu Chuanjie didn't dislike Heqinghou Mansion, Song Changqing, and her way of promoting Song Changqing, she might make an angry look and blame, "Little sister, you are not sensible yet. , You can’t say such things to your sister, understand?” Or maybe she is not very happy in her heart, and she will lightly warn, “You are overstepping, you know?” Even if the level of unhappiness is higher, she may be serious. He turned his face away, ignored the little sister he had just met, turned around and left.Only he didn't expect that the reserved and honorable Xu Chuanjie would be so direct and undisguised.

Xu Chuanjie is the only daughter of Xu Dudu and his wife. In her marriage, he can at least take care of half of the family.If she really liked the children of a certain family, whether it was her parents Xu Dudu and his wife, or her aunt Chang Huanghou, how could she have the heart to go against her wishes? Your Highness has illusions, can't Governor Xu and his wife Chang see it, can't Empress Chang see it?Xu Chuanjie was able to let go of his fantasies about King Zhou and was willing to marry Song Changqing in a down-to-earth manner. These elders must be happy to hear and see, no doubt.

Linglong didn't expect the success to come so quickly and directly, the smile on her face was a little silly, "Well, my cousin is very sincere, too sincere."

With a touch of blush on Xu Chuanjie's face, he looked towards the direction where Song Changqing was standing, and said with a smile, "Where there is a will, there is a way."

What's the meaning?Linglong looked at her foolishly, not knowing how to respond.

Xu Chuanjie took Linglong's little hand, "little sister, let's go back." Linglong was very conscious, knowing that what she was doing was smuggling, and she couldn't see the light. Hearing what Xu Chuanjie said, she hurriedly agreed, "Okay, okay, sister Xu, Let's go back now. I brought a lot of snacks, let's taste them one by one!" Walking back behind Xu Chuanjie.

While walking, he turned his head excitedly and waved at Song Changqing.Seeing it, Xu Chuanjie smiled slightly, his eyes soft.

After the two went back, they enjoyed tea and snacks with everyone in front of Yiwang Qingquan, very happy.Xu Chuanjie is still as generous as before, but if you pay close attention to her, you will find that her face is flushed from time to time, her eyes are confused, and she looks like she is wandering away.

"Which girl doesn't have a spring." Zu Jiying is the most careful, she sees Xu Chuanjie's demeanor in her eyes, and she can't help but think secretly, "This Miss Xu is Xu Dudu's beloved daughter, the queen's niece, it is noble enough Right? But her troubles are exactly the same as those of ordinary girls. I am a weak girl who depends on others, and she is the daughter of the Marquis Mansion. Of course I can't find a good husband, and she is the same. Her parents are both in the capital, and they both follow her uncle. When my aunt came to Shuntian Mansion, it was naturally for His Royal Highness Zhou Wang. I don’t know how His Royal Highness Zhou treated her..."

Zu Jiying and Xu Chuanjie appraised the tea, and asked enviously: "Sister Xu and His Royal Highness Zhou Wang are cousins, so they are naturally frequent visitors to the Zhou Palace. I heard that the Zhou Palace is magnificent, and Quanshun Tianfu will never find another place like it." Mansion, is it real?"

Xu Chuanjie told her gently, "His Royal Highness King Zhou was canonized as a prince as early as when he was ten years old. His mansion has its own rules and regulations. It is naturally extremely rich, and no one in Shuntian Mansion can match it. However, this is just speculation. I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Miss Zu, I have never entered the Zhou Palace."

Zu Jiying's eyes widened in surprise, and he lost his voice and said, "How could that be? Elder sister Xu, you are the direct cousin of His Royal Highness King Zhou."

There was a hint of joy in her surprise, a hint of joy that she tried her best to suppress but still accidentally revealed.

Hu Shaofen sat close, and couldn't help frowning when he heard Zu Jiying's words.Sixth Sister-in-Law is an unattractive cousin of her natal family, but she usually winks, why is she talking nonsense now?Whether Xu Chuanjie has been to the Zhou Palace has nothing to do with you. I want you to talk more here!Hu Shaolian had a better temper than her elder sister Hu Shaofen, and she also turned her head to look at Zu Jiying in surprise, not without complaints in her heart.

Hu Shaolian smiled softly, and said in a reproachful tone: "Miss Zu's words seem inappropriate. Think about it, since His Royal Highness Zhou Wang has been busy with important military and political affairs since he arrived in Shuntian Mansion, how can he have the time to meet guests? Although my sister and His Royal Highness Zhou Wang are cousins, the Holy One, the Empress, and Dudu Xu are all far away in the capital, and the elders are not present, so it is not appropriate for cousins ​​to meet, right? His Royal Highness Zhou Wang and Sister Xu are both respectful people. "She spoke calmly and politely, but she was not polite to Zu Jiying, she praised Zhou Wang and Xu Chuanjie, and hinted that Zu Jiying didn't know how to be polite.

Hu Shaofen was still angry in his heart, but after hearing the words of the fifth younger sister Hu Shaolian, he felt much more comfortable, and agreed with a smile, "Yes, His Royal Highness King Zhou and Sister Xu are both polite people." He glanced at Zu Jiying, his eyes were full of contempt.

Zu Jiying was so choked that he couldn't speak, and lowered his head with tears shining.

If someone saw her expression at this moment, they would probably think that this poor girl living under the fence was bullied by a group of noble girls.

Xu Chuanjie smiled faintly, but did not answer the words of the Hu sisters.

If it was placed before today, Zu Jiying's words might really make her feel like a knife, and her heart aches unceasingly.But now she has a different mind, Zu Jiying mentioned King Zhou again in front of her, and she can't feel any disturbance in her heart.

Linglong was still immersed in the joy of being a successful matchmaker, her whole body was light and airy, and she didn't pay any attention to the words and phrases of these people around her. "It's too nutritious." Even if she heard it, she would only find it boring and boring.There is a beautiful scenery in front of you, famous tea in the cup, fine points in the saucer, whether you should enjoy it or not, but entangled in those useless things, all are boring.Zhou Wang, Zhou Wang's all day long, in fact, you haven't even seen Zhou Wang's face, okay?What are you thinking about blindly, you can't even see each other, falling in love in the air?
"My third younger sister has been in Prince Zhou's Mansion." Jingxi walked over with a smile and sat beside Linglong.

When she said that, everyone's eyes were on Linglong.She has entered Zhou Palace?Why are there so many people here, some are more noble than her, and some are more versatile than her, but she is the only one who has ever entered Zhou Palace?
Even Xu Chuanjie was a little puzzled, "Little sister, my cousin announced that you have entered Zhou Palace?"

The tranquil Xu Chuanxing smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on Linglong's little face.

Linglong withdrew her thoughts from the horizon, and smiled mischievously, "How did I get in, do you know? I wasn't invited, I was..." She tilted her head for a while and stuck out her tongue, "It's also It can’t be counted as being caught, because I really don’t have enough weight. I’m just unlucky.” He briefly talked about the day when King Zhou entered the city, and when he was flying around in the sky, he finally landed on King Zhou. The handkerchief on the car, she rested her chin on her hand and sighed, "You know? I hate that uninteresting handkerchief to death, it can make trouble."

Seeing her childish appearance, Xu Chuanjie and others couldn't help laughing.Duzu Jiying had a longing look on his face, "You should be thankful for this handkerchief, because of it, you can go to the palace and open your eyes." Linglong snorted, and reached out to pat the table, "What kind of eyes did you open?" , I was just taken to the Zhou Palace and locked up for a long time, and I didn’t see anyone! I didn’t see any scenery!”

"You... haven't you seen His Royal Highness King Zhou?" Zu Jiying asked in confusion.

Ling Longchi laughed, "Is His Royal Highness King Zhou very free, even a little person like me who talks lightly will meet? Miss Zu, I don't know whether he is tall or short, fat or thin, or..." It was easy to say, and I wanted to say "it's a human or a ghost", but it was only on the edge of my mouth that I realized that the feudal autocratic dynasty did not have freedom of speech, so I stopped in time.

"Anyway, I'm just unlucky, and I only worked for half a day at Prince Zhou's Mansion..." Linglong puffed her cheeks and thought for a while, then said angrily, "You can't be called a prisoner, because I'm not qualified to be a prisoner at Prince Zhou's Mansion!"

"It's so pitiful." Xu Chuanjie smiled and patted her head.

Xu Chuanxing looked at her with softer eyes, "It's really pitiful, she has suffered an indiscriminate disaster."

The same goes for the rest of the people, looking at Linglong now, there was no trace of hostility in their eyes.

Being so young, so naive, she doesn't know how to cover up her embarrassment when she talks about it, she is frank and bright, making it impossible for people to hate her.

"It's so pitiful." They all laughed.

Jing Xi was gentle and gentle, "The third younger sister was shocked that day. My eldest sister and I were stuck in the car and couldn't move, and we were also very frightened." Hu Shaofen couldn't help being curious, "What happened at that time?" Jing Xi reserved Laughing, "The grand occasion is unprecedented, there are so many people and cars, I can't move at all." Hu Shaofen listened with relish.

There is also a pool beside the spring, and there are fish in the pool, which can be used for fishing.Linglong sat by the pool and wanted to fish, but she couldn't bear her temper at all, her heart was itchy, and she had to say a few words to Song Changqing immediately.

"I'll come as soon as I go." She smiled and said to Xu Chuanjie, Jing Jia Jingxi and others, and slipped out.

I just drank tea, and if I had to go to the toilet, it was a common occurrence, and no one took it to heart.

Linglong took Tang Xiaoming and Xiao Hua along a narrow path to the west.Song Changqing is in this direction.

She was walking excitedly in front, but Tang Xiaoming and Xiao Hua were you looking at me vigilantly, and I was vigilantly looking at you, apparently no one believed the other.

Arriving in a remote small pavilion, she saw Song Changqing standing alone in the pavilion overlooking from a distance, Linglong confessed, "Tang Xiaoming, Xiao Hua, you two can just wait here, you don't need to follow me." After confessing, she He trotted past, "Big cousin, she is tempted by you, you know? I was very surprised, I didn't expect this to happen. I have been thinking and thinking for a long time, and I finally figured out why she is like this !"

Linglong looked at Song Changqing with bright eyes, and her face was full of joy.

Song Changqing blushed and asked softly, "Why?"

When he thought of Xu Chuanjie's distant bow, his heart was sweet and heavy at the same time.It was as if a girl's life had been entrusted to him, and many responsibilities had been placed on his shoulders.

Linglong was proud, "Because I did a lot of things, I told her that it was all on your will, just to let her have a half-day happy time, and she believed it! Big cousin, in fact, no matter how honorable her status is, she asked for it." It's also very simple, if you treat her seriously and try to please her, she will be very satisfied."

How many unsuitable loves, how many marriages that seem unbelievable in the eyes of the world, in the final analysis, are just because someone is willing to pursue it seriously.What women want is love, and in the eyes of many women, love is the same as being loved, so serious pursuit, in fact, is very lethal.

Song Changqing was in a daze, "This, isn't this lying to her?"

There was a pang of guilt in his heart.

Linglong Xi Zizi held his hand, and said in a warm tone, "You're lying to her. Big cousin, can you lie to her for the rest of your life? Just use the way I lied to her today, and lie to her for the rest of your life! Besides, you are only allowed to lie to her Alone, don't lie to others!"

Song Changqing bowed his head and thought for a while, then said seriously: "I won't lie to her, I treat her sincerely."

"Forever?" Linglong's tone became more enthusiastic.

She, like most women in the world, sees a beautiful relationship and always wants to add a deadline to it.This period is at least this life, and if possible, it is better to be lifetime.

"Forever." Song Changqing promised with a blushing face.

"Very good." Linglong nodded in satisfaction.

Big cousin, you have a good attitude, and my painstaking efforts were not in vain.It's done, my merits and virtues have been completed.

A sneer reached Linglong's ears.

It was an unfamiliar male voice.

Linglong's heart sank.There are people brought by Song Changqing to guard here, no outsiders should come in.So, who is this person who dares to sneer in front of Song Changqing?
Song Changqing was as surprised as Linglong when he heard the ridicule.

He brought enough people today, and the way here should be guarded strictly, no outsiders will come in.

Together, the two looked towards the place where the laughter came from.

The man was in his early twenties, with long black hair draped over his shoulders, eyebrows flying into a bun, slender phoenix eyes, and wearing tattered clothes, sitting on a small tree growing on a slope not far away, feeling at ease. swinging his legs.

The clothes on his body were really torn, like a beggar, very shabby.But wearing such clothes, he still looks very good-looking.

Looks like a real beauty.

Song Changqing changed his face, and asked in a deep voice, "Excuse me, what is your name and name?"

Linglong gasped.Although this is a mountain, there are temples on the mountain, and I have never heard of bandits haunting it!Could this be... the new bandit?

The man squinted at Song Changqing, and asked with disdain: "Your Excellency's question is also strange, does this mountain belong to your family? You can come, but I can't?"

Song Changqing was taken aback by his question.

That's right, this mountain doesn't belong to Heqinghou Mansion, Song Changqing came, so of course he came too.

The man stopped Song Changqing for questioning, and looked at Linglong with a pair of narrow and beautiful phoenix eyes, with a smile in his eyes, "Little sister, I am very happy to see you, as if I have known you for a long time."

A gust of wind blew by, not only the small tree he was sitting on swayed leisurely, but the other small trees, flowers and plants around him also swayed with the wind, swaying gracefully.

At this moment, in his tattered clothes, he looked like he was born out of this world.

All the trees, flowers and plants on this slope seem to have become a foil, used to reflect his extraordinary, elegant and suave.
