sinovels Chapter 37
Chapter 37
Xue Yanrong's riding and archery was learned in Foguang Temple, not to mention that he is very sure of hitting a hundred shots, and now he has returned with a full reward.
Xu Yu skillfully peeled off the rabbit's skin with a knife, and found a longer branch, which ran through the whole rabbit from bottom to top. After Yao Shichu set up the fire, he roasted it.
"Second Master, Second Master——"
Meng'er hopped and pulled Jiang Youqing and jumped off the carriage.
When Xue Yanrong heard the sound and looked, he was stunned for a moment, and then he looked away.
On the other hand, Yao Shichu and Xu Yu looked happy——
"Miss Jiang! Master! Miss Jiang is here!"
"I see." Xue Yanrong said expressionlessly.
Xu Yu rubbed his hands——
"No! I have to bake two more!"
While speaking, Meng'er led Jiang Youqing to the front——
After all, it was a child, and now he stretched his head out and sniffed his nose——
"smell good."
"Little greedy cat—" Yao Shichu knew that Xue Yanrong and Jiang Youqing had something to say, so he pulled Menger to the other side, "Come on, let's eat rabbit meat."
Today, Xue Yanrong is dressed in a simple, round-neck purple dress, covered with a tulle black robe, and his head is not tied with a white jade crown as usual, but is fixed with a brown wooden hairpin. He has been back in Beijing for more than a year , she is much whiter than when she was outside before, she was originally handsome and delicate, but now when she looks up, she has an indescribable demeanor——
It's just that there is a restrained expression between the eyebrows and eyes, as if he doesn't care about Jiang Youqing's arrival.
But this is just an appearance. Although Xue Yanrong expected that she would come to find him, he did not expect that she would follow Menger to the eastern suburbs. However, thinking that such a big event happened in Luo Mansion, it is not difficult to guess with her intelligence. The source of this incident is probably full of doubts. I want to find myself and ask myself.
Before Jiang Youqing came, he held back his stomach and wanted to ask and talk, but he really saw someone, but Jiang Youqing didn't know where to start. He stood by the fire, didn't know where to look, and lowered his head. It's amazing what to do.
"you--"
"Ok?"
As soon as Xue Yanrong said a word, his eyes fell on Jiang Youqing's right face, and he immediately tightened his brows and frowned——
Meng'er was young, so perhaps he didn't notice it, but Xue Yanrong was not young, so she could tell right away that she had been beaten, the right cheek was obviously swollen higher than the left cheek, and the redness visible to the naked eye——
Involuntarily, the frowning eyebrows deepened——
who hit it?
Luo Zhengbei or Qi Pingnan?
I'm afraid both of them have a share.
Xue Yanrong secretly felt guilt welling up in his heart, but when he looked at Jiang Youqing's eyes, there was a bit of pity——
After all, she suffered a lot.
Jiang Youqing didn't know what Xue Yanrong was going to say. After waiting for a long time, seeing that she had nothing to say, she suddenly became impatient and bold. Just as she was about to ask her, an untimely sound made people blush——
Gollum-
Subconsciously, Jiang Youqing covered his stomach with his hands, his face became red all the way to the base of his neck, why did he scream at this time? !What a shame!She must have heard it!
Xue Yanrong did hear it. After all, the two of them are so close, but she is not the kind of person who speaks out loud. The girl has a thin skin. Looking at the tips of her red ears, one can tell that she must be ashamed. Find a crack in the ground to drill——
For the first time, Xue Yanrong felt that he was understanding, and pretended not to hear. He only glanced at the roasted rabbit, then tore off a leg and handed it over——
"Give."
Jiang Youqing was even more at a loss now, she must have heard it!Otherwise, how can I feed myself meat? !
"I-I don't—"
Gollum-
Before he could say the word hungry, his stomach screamed again, this time Jiang Youqing only felt that he had lost face at home.
The corners of Xue Yanrong's mouth were tense, so he didn't let himself laugh——
Secretly said in my heart: "You are not a big person, but face is important."
Just holding it like this, I'm afraid she will have to stay stiff all the time, Xue Yanrong is not afraid of anything else, it is this roasted rabbit leg, it must be hot, if it is cold, the taste will not be so good, it doesn't matter if she wants it or not , took a step forward, and stuffed the rabbit's leg into Jiang Youqing's hand——
"Eat it. This roasted rabbit leg is a good thing. We don't have much to eat on weekdays. In the beginning of the tenth year, we will reserve it for Meng'er. Today, I will make the decision and give it all to you."
"Give it all to me?"
Jiang Youqing counted in his head, a rabbit has four legs, he might not be able to eat it all, right?
But he also felt that this was Xue Yanrong's kindness, and couldn't bear to refuse, so he opened his eyes wide, with a serious expression——
"Then, I must finish eating!"
After speaking, he took a bite.
Jiang You was hungry early in the morning, she used up her morning meal, and Luo Zhengbei and Qi Pingnan had a fight at noon, and she has been on an empty stomach until now, and now she is eating meat, that is called A fragrance.
It's just that the wound at the corner of her mouth hurts a bit, so she didn't dare to move too much, and because the rabbit's legs were too hot, she had to shake her hands back and forth, making a husky sound with her mouth.
Xue Yanrong only cut off a small piece of meat from the back of the rabbit with a knife, while eating, he looked at the people beside him from the corner of his eye.
Suddenly couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help laughing——
Just now I was embarrassed and had red face and red ears, but now my mouth is full of greasy food——
Xue Yanrong suddenly became 'bad', turned his head away, and asked with a half-smile——
"Is it delicious? Where are the spices from the Western Regions?"
"what?"
Jiang Youqing gnawed Zhengxiang, and was suddenly stopped by her question, and the rabbit leg in his hand had been eaten and only bones remained.
"Delicious."
Looking at her cute expression, Xue Yanrong felt touched by something in her heart, it was soft and itchy, as if a feather was gently brushing over it——
The "bad heart" I just got up, I immediately regretted it, turned my eyes away, and deliberately lowered my voice——
"Then eat quickly, there are three more."
Maybe it was because the roasted rabbit meat was too dry, Jiang Youqing was hungry and ate too fast, and now he burped because of choking——
All shoulders, once and for all——
"belch--"
"belch--"
Jiang Youqing has never been so humiliated in his life, it's okay to be hungry, but now he's hiccupping, how should Xue Yanrong think of himself?
Thinking of this, Jiang Youqing wanted to run, but before she got up, a water bag stretched out in front of her eyes——
"belch--"
Seeing that she was still in a daze, Xue Yanrong immediately said urgently——
"Why are you so dazed? Don't drink quickly."
Only then did Jiang Youqing come to his senses, took the water bag, raised his head and gulped it down——
Seeing that she couldn't finish drinking, Xue Yanrong hurriedly took the water bag back, and after shaking it, he realized that the person had drunk it all——
"You, why did you drink it all?!"
"Ah? I, I'm thirsty—"
Xue Yanrong looked at her innocent face, and suddenly felt worried again. When she came out, she specially asked Yao Shichu to bring the rice wine. ——
"It's not water, it's rice wine. Can you, can you drink?"
"Rice wine?" Jiang Youqing licked his lips. No wonder it felt sweet just now. It turned out to be rice wine. "I-I didn't know it was rice wine. I thought it was honey water. Then, what should I do?"
"What can I do, you drank it all, I can't make you spit it out." Xue Yanrong fastened the water bag and put it aside. "It's fine, but fortunately, the degree is not high."
At this time, Xue Yanrong changed the subject and said frankly——
"You came to me because of your cousin?"
"Then how did you expect that I would come to you?" Jiang Youqing asked back.
"Heh—" Xue Yanrong said with a smile: "You will turn your back on the customer—"
Immediately, his eyes turned and fell on Jiang Youqing's right cheek, and he said again——
"The slap on your face was done by your aunt, right?"
Jiang Youqing didn't feel embarrassed when she was asked such a direct question. Instead, she pulled the corners of her mouth and chuckled twice——
"Well, it doesn't hurt. On the contrary, I feel much happier inside."
All these years Jiang Youqing lived under the fence, and never raised his back to speak up one day. Today, taking advantage of Xue Yanrong's prestige, he raised his face for the first time. When he thought of Luo Zhengbei and Qi Pingnan, he was so shocked that he was speechless. Look, this joy is beyond words.
Taking a deep breath, calming the turmoil in his heart, Jiang Youqing looked at Xue Yanrong and asked again——
"It's just that I have a question. If you do this, you never thought about it. If I don't resist, what will happen?"
"I didn't think about it." Xue Yanrong shook the knife in his hand, frowned slightly, "I knew you were not a coward since you came to ask me to marry you."
Jiang Youqing was stunned, raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, he was a little speechless, his eye sockets were instantly covered with mist——
Yes, I have never been cowardly.
But since when did you start to live carefully?
Let's start from the moment of entering Luo Mansion after the death of parents.
Be careful when you eat, talk, walk, and do everything. You have become less like yourself.
Xue Yanrong stood up from the ground, brushed the dust off his body——
"Come on, I'll take you back."
Xue Yanrong rode a horse and followed behind the carriage, and the carriage stopped when Luo's house was still a block away. She grabbed the rein and looked at the person who got out of the carriage——
Jiang Youqing bowed to Xue Yanrong, Xue Yanrong nodded, and then she walked towards Luo's house.
However, Xue Yanrong's eyes did not leave, but followed her all the time, until he was about to lose sight of her, then suddenly kicked the horse's belly twice——
"Drive!" chased after him.
"Jiang Youqing!" Xue Yanrong pulled the reins, stopped the horse, looked down at her, the expression in his eyes darkened, and then jumped off the horse, "I have something to tell you."
Jiang Youqing didn't know what she was going to tell him, but judging from her solemn expression, it should be a very important thing.
Xue Yanrong rubbed the emerald wrench on his thumb——
"Do you really want to marry me?"
"You repented?!"
Xue Yanrong knew as soon as she heard it that she didn't understand what she said, so she simply stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly——
"I know you are desperate, so you chose my path, but you have to think about it, there is no turning back, you know my identity, so it is impossible to have children, once you enter Xue You are only fifteen years old now, and you are in a beautiful and beautiful age. Whether it is about life or marriage, you have many fantasies, and you feel that youth is infinite and can be squandered recklessly, but Days will accumulate, and your mentality will change with each passing year. I tell you this, not to repent, but to tell you that the years are long and the days are difficult. Temporary enthusiasm cannot last long, you have to think clearly."
"Also—" Xue Yanrong sighed, "Don't think too well of Xue's family, and don't think it's a big family in Beijing, including me. I never knew that when you married in, outsiders would only call you the second young lady of the Xue family, but in reality, you might have to be on guard every day.
The Luo family just deceived your parents to die early and had no support, but at least they still have fears, but the Xue family is different. They all have ulterior motives, hidden schemes, and if they make a wrong step, they will fall into the abyss , even if it is difficult for you in the Luo family, it will only be more difficult for the Xue family. If you are afraid, it is too late to regret it now. "
Jiang Youqing tilted his head, frowned for a while, blinked for a while, and lowered his head from time to time——
Seeing this, Xue Yanrong was anxious in his heart, and couldn't help but raised his chin——
"do you understand?"
"Understood." Jiang Youqing raised his head to meet Xue Yanrong's eyes, his almond-shaped eyes were round and round, "You mean to tell me that you can't have children with me, and that I don't want to entrust my life to you just because of the predicament in front of me." , and the Xue family is not a good family, and you are not as glamorous as you look on the outside, does that mean?"
"Ah."
Xue Yanrong thought he was moving with emotion and reason, but he didn't want to be analyzed thoroughly by her in a few words, and now he felt a little unnatural.
"I know, you are doing it for my own good, but I also have my own plans—" Jiang Youqing bit the corner of her mouth and said, "I lost my parents when I was six years old, and it has been nine years since I came to the Luo family in the capital. I don’t mean to say that I have seen all kinds of things in the world, but I have also tasted the cruelty of the world. My uncle was greedy for my dowry, my aunt always treated me like an outsider, my cousin regarded me as a thorn in my flesh, and my cousin coveted my appearance. The Xue family is difficult, but why do I feel that the Luo family is even more difficult? I often persuade myself to think more openly, and I am lucky to have a house to live in. What is the result?
Or came to a dead end, the night you rescued me was not the first time I wanted to die, you said it was difficult, then have you ever thought about dying?Have you ever really died?If not, then you are not as difficult as I am. "
When Xue Yanrong heard her words, "I'm not seeking death for the first time", my heart suddenly twitched——
Thinking about when I was in trouble, Yao Shichu and Xu Yu were by my side, and my mother and sister were behind me, and she was alone, crying with nowhere to go, and nowhere to ask for land. Thinking about it this way, it was indeed more difficult for her than myself, and it was much more difficult.
"As for having children, what are you talking about?" Jiang Youqing shrugged indifferently, "Are there still few infertile women in Beijing? Just go to Nanshan Hall to have a look, and you will definitely catch a lot of them. Could it be that they all dead?"
"You—" Xue Yanrong moved his lips, but he didn't know what to say, as if he couldn't even refute.
"Second Master Rong—" Jiang Youqing said with firm eyes and a clear expression: "Don't treat me like a child. Although I am still young, there are some things that I may see more clearly than you. When I say marry you, I definitely don't mean That's all I've thought about it. To get rid of Luo's family, I can only take this step. Now I have indeed taken them into the army, but what about the future?
I can't stay stuck in this forever. No one knows when the next Sun Maoda will come again. Instead of the matchmaker's words about the fate of the parents, it's better to be with you. Although we each get what we need, but you, Second Master Rong, don't dislike you I, enough, you are my best choice."
Xue Yanrong's heart was moved when she heard those words, she thought maybe Jiang Youqing was a hundred times stronger than what she saw, and what she said was more thoughtful than what she thought——
"A good one, each takes what he needs!"
Xue Yanrong breathed a sigh of relief——
"Understood, then you can wait at Luo's house, and within five days, I will come to propose marriage."
Just leave.
"Second Lord—" Jiang Youqing called to stop her.
Xue Yanrong stopped, looked at her hesitant expression, raised her eyebrows——
Should I regret it again?
"Say--"
"I, I——" Jiang Youqing bit her lip, stirring the hem of her clothes with her fingers underneath.
I didn't see her like this before, so what's going on now?
Xue Yanrong's expression tightened——
"It's okay if you regret it—"
"I have no regrets!" Jiang Youqing explained urgently: "I, I have other things—"
"Anything else? What else?"
Xue Yanrong couldn't think of anything more important than deciding to marry herself?
"I, I don't have a dowry."
For a bride to be married, a woman's dowry is undoubtedly face and dignity, and it is also a key factor in determining whether she can hold her head up in her in-law's house in the future.
Although they are nameless this time, they are actually getting married. If I don't even have a dowry, not to mention what the people in Xue's mansion think of me, even the crowd watching along the way, I'm afraid they can laugh at me to death. At that time, I will be the laughing stock of this capital.
Xue Yanrong completely forgot about this matter. She is not short of money, nor has she ever been married. She just thought that he would not lose her in the dowry, but he forgot that there is a dowry. It is due to her and himself Bring it up, otherwise it will be difficult again.
Jiang Youqing lowered his head and said honestly——
"I add up the total, only 50 taels, 50 taels I can buy two rosewood boxes."
Listening to her calculations, Xue Yanrong only thought that this person was quite cute——
nodded and said——
"The box is also good, and I happen to be short of boxes."
"Oh, then I'll buy a box when I go back." Jiang Youqing said seriously.
Seeing that she was serious, Xue Yanrong restrained the smile in his eyes, and said to her solemnly——
"Don't worry about the dowry, leave it to me, and I'll take care of it."
"Ah?" Jiang Youqing heard for the first time that when a woman gets married, the dowry needs to be settled by the man. "Isn't it good?"
"It's nothing wrong." Xue Yanrong touched the man's little head with his fingers, "Go back, eat well, drink well, and sleep well."
Jiang Youqing looked into her eyes, listened to what she said, her heart was extremely stable, and the corner of her mouth was smiling——
"Well, I see."
Xue Yanrong looked at her and smiled, and smiled himself, then turned around, got on the horse again, turned the horse's head, and waved the whip in his hand——
"Go back quickly!"
After speaking, he rode away.
Jiang Youqing stood there for a long time, and I will never be alone again.
