When Xing Yusheng came back from Qin's palace, he went straight to Mrs. Xing.
Mrs. Xing was not asleep yet, and was instructing the two nuns to pack up the leathers brought from the original palace, planning to select the good ones and send them to the Qin family.
Seeing Xing Yusheng coming back, Mrs. Xing waved him over, "Is your grandpa feeling better?"
Xing Yusheng nodded, "It's better than yesterday."
"Su Liang's medical skills are indeed excellent. It's the right thing to invite her. How did you get along when we met today?" Mrs. Xing asked with a smile.
Xing Yusheng thought of Qin Kang's words and couldn't help but sigh, "Nothing."
Mrs. Xing was surprised, "You expressed your feelings to her, but she was rejected?"
Xing Yusheng shook his head, "No, I figured it out myself. I really am not worthy of her. Fortunately, I didn't express my feelings, otherwise it would be difficult to be friends in the future."
He didn't mention Qin Kang's words because he was afraid that Mrs. Xing would be unhappy.
After all, in Mrs. Xing's eyes, her eldest grandson is the best.
But Qin Kang has always been very pragmatic, and he sincerely regards Xing Yusheng as his own child, and it is all for his own good.
Xing Yusheng originally thought that Mrs. Xing would blame him for looking down on her, but Mrs. Xing sighed and said, "Forget it."
Xing Yusheng was stunned. He thought Mrs. Xing had chosen Su Liang as his granddaughter-in-law.
Mrs. Xing held Xing Yusheng's hand and said sincerely, "After you left today, I thought about it and found that you and Su Yatou are not suitable. She is very capable and has many ideas. She must have something to do when she returns to the capital.
If you need our help, we should help. But if you marry her back, not to mention that she is not happy, you will probably not be able to live together. Grandma only hopes that you marry a good and pleasant girl.
The most important thing is to live a comfortable and happy life.”
This time, that time.
At first Mrs. Xing thought that Su Liang's background was not worthy of being Xing Yusheng's crown prince. This was normal.
Nowadays, the Xing family's situation has undergone tremendous changes. Although they are still a noble, they have not yet established a foothold in the capital and cannot be publicized.
After several months of anxiety, the family was finally safe. Mrs. Xing's mentality also changed. For her beloved grandson, she only hoped that he would live a safe and happy life. As for his future, it would be safer to completely put it aside.
.
Xing Yusheng looked at her elderly grandmother and nodded heavily, "That's what I thought."
"But the relationships in the capital are complicated. It won't be easy to find a suitable young lady for you to marry. I'll go visit your grandpa another day and ask your aunt to help keep an eye on him," Mrs. Xing said.
Xing Yusheng hesitated and mentioned Lin Xueqing.
Old Mrs.
It’s a good day to propose marriage to you!”
Xing Yusheng: ...This result was something he didn't expect. Mrs. Xing obviously told him to behave well in front of Su Liang this morning.
Although Xing Yusheng has a vague impression of Lin Xueqing, everyone around him agrees, and he also feels that Lin Shuzhi's daughter cannot be bad.
"Grandma, don't be so anxious, right? People may not be happy with it," Xing Yusheng said.
Mrs. Xing then laughed and said, "So, you are happy?"
Xing Yusheng shook his head subconsciously, but felt that it was inappropriate. He nodded, but felt that there was an ambiguity. He shook his head again, and explained with a somewhat embarrassed look, "I don't think Miss Lin is bad, but I feel that I have no talent, and I am afraid that the Lin family will look down on her."
"Grandma doesn't like to hear this. What does your life have to do with whether you win the top prize in college? Isn't it great that you can just be a wealthy and idle person with no burdens?" Mrs. Xing said.
Qin Kang said this, Mrs. Xing also said the same. Xing Yusheng thought about it and felt that this marriage was indeed very suitable for him.
Xing Yusheng's good impression of Su Liang was never fake, but it was very shallow. What he had always carefully maintained was his friendship with Su Liang, which he admired but not loved.
After hearing from Xing Yusheng that Qin Yujin and Lin Xueqing had made an appointment to go to Huguo Temple together tomorrow, Mrs. Xing said that when she came to the capital, she should go to Huguo Temple to burn incense, thank Bodhisattva for blessing the Xing family, and let Xing Yusheng accompany her tomorrow.
Go together.
Xing Yusheng knew that Mrs. Xing must want to see Lin Xueqing, and he kept hearing this name today, and suddenly wanted to see Miss Lin again.
…
Ningjing sent Zheng'er back to Wanhui last night.
Before dawn, Chang An secretly went to the backyard of the teahouse and handed the house deed and keys to Su Liang, who was doing morning exercises.
After returning, Chang'an told Duanmu Chen that Su Liang got up early to practice martial arts and was very diligent.
Duanmu Chen was stunned for a moment, "Is she going to participate in martial arts?"
Chang'an was greatly surprised, "The selection for the martial arts examination will begin next month. But if Miss Su has this intention, why has she never mentioned it before?"
Duanmu Chen hummed, "What she is best at is talking nonsense to talk to me, and there are many things she doesn't want me to know at all!"
Chang An nodded subconsciously, "Indeed."
Duanmu Chen glared at Chang'an and said, "Go and have a fight with her to see her strength and see if she has a chance to stand out in the martial arts."
Chang'an coughed lightly, "Master, this is inappropriate. Miss Su will definitely not be happy to fight with this subordinate. If I insist on fighting, isn't that a provocation? Now that Miss Su is here, I think she must be confident."
"
Duanmu Chen thoughtfully said, "If she really shines in the martial arts, for me, it is not a bad thing. After all, it is not me she has to deal with."
"Master, will you still enter the palace today?" Chang'an asked.
Duanmu Chen nodded, "Lin Xueqing's matter must be settled as soon as possible."
…
After Su Liang had breakfast, Qin's carriage arrived.
Qin Yujin picked up Lin Xueqing first and came together to find Su Liang.
"Sister Su!"
"Sister Liang!"
Two beautiful girls were sitting in the car and waving to Su Liang.
One is bright and charming, the other is pretty and lovely, the picture is very eye-catching.
Su Liang walked over and said, "I won't call you sister."
"That's not important!" Qin Yujin and Lin Xueqing said in unison.
"Senior Brother Ning, aren't you going?" Lin Xueqing asked.
Su Liang shook his head, "He said you were too noisy."
Lin Xueqing's face was filled with anger, "I haven't disliked him for being too boring! Sister Su, come home with me today and ignore him!"
Su Liang chuckled, "I'm just kidding you. He's in charge of moving today."
"Are you moving to the house given by my cousin?" Qin Yujin asked.
When Lin Xueqing heard this, was Xing Yusheng sending the house as a gift? Ningjing or Su Liang? Could it be that he was interested in Su Liang?
Su Liang shook his head, "No. Once the arrangements are made, I'll invite you to be our guests."
"As promised, I also want you to teach me a few tricks." Qin Yujin said with a smile.
The carriage drove slowly to the western suburbs where Huguo Temple is located. Lin Xueqing was still thinking about Xing Yusheng's gift of the house, but in front of Qin Yujin, it was difficult to ask Su Liang directly.
The carriage reached the foot of the mountain and stopped.
Qin Yujin felt strange, opened the car curtain and saw that the road up the mountain was blocked.
The maid ran over to take a look, and soon came back to report, "It's Miss Nian's fourth daughter's car that broke down."
Nian Ruxue? Su Liang had heard that Nian Jincheng's sister was engaged to Gu Ling and hired a killer from Yanyun Tower to "find" Gu Ling.
Lin Xueqing remembered that Qin Yujin seemed to like Nian Jincheng, and she was afraid that she would have to help Nian Ruxue if something like this happened.
Sure enough, Qin Yujin asked Su Liang and Lin Xueqing, "Do you mind if I invite Miss Nian to ride in the car?"
Su Liang smiled and said she didn't mind at all. She wanted to meet the fourth-year young lady.
Of course Lin Xueqing doesn't mind, this is the Qin family's carriage, Qin Yujin can make the decision.
The maid ran forward again, and soon a girl in white came over with a delicate maid.
"Xue'er, if you still want to go up the mountain, come with us." Qin Yujin said with a smile.
Nian Ruxue only saw Qin Yujin and didn't know who else was in the carriage. She breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I can only trouble you. Since my second brother left Beijing, I have been going to Huguo Temple to pray for him every day.
I didn’t expect that the car broke down on the way today.”
"Then come up quickly!" Qin Yujin stretched out her hand and pulled Nian Ruxue into the car.
The maids were all following behind.
Nian Ruxue sat down in the car and saw two strange girls. One of them she seemed to have seen somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for the moment. She didn't know when there were two such beauties in the capital. She actually
Haven't heard of it.
Then Nian Ruxue thought that the only ones coming to the capital this month were the Xing family, and Qin Yujin was Xing Yusheng's cousin. Maybe these two were the young ladies of the Xing family, and Xing Yusheng had asked Qin Yujin to take him out to play?
Nian Ruxue's eyes fell on Lin Xueqing and Su Liang's clothes, and she immediately noticed that they were the Yanluo yarn that she wanted to buy but could not.
Qin Yujin introduced Nian Ruxue and only mentioned the names of Su Liang and Lin Xueqing.
"Ms. Lin, is she the Lin family who won the top three prizes in a certain discipline?" Nian Ruxue was surprised, "I have admired her name for a long time."
Lin Xueqing quickly said that Nian Ruxue was over-reputed.
"How did Yujin and Miss Lin know each other? I learned that Miss Lin came to the capital, and I wanted to make friends, but I was afraid of being rude." Nian Ruxue liked Lin Xueqing's appearance very much.
Qin Yujin said that her father and Lin Xueqing's father were old friends.
This is true. Qin Kang and Lin Shuzhi knew each other when they were young. Although they didn't interact much, they both admired each other very much.
The real reason why Qin Yujin and Lin Xueqing met cannot be said.
"Yu Jin, you know such a wonderful person and you don't even introduce him to me. You really deserve a beating." Nian Ruxue held Lin Xueqing's hand with a smile, "If you come to my house as a guest tomorrow, I won't invite Yu Jin."
.”
Lin Xueqing actually felt a little embarrassed by Nian Ruxue's warm approach, because they were not familiar with each other. She just kept smiling politely, thinking that maybe Nian Ruxue had such a temperament.
Su Liang, who was completely ignored by Nian Ruxue, didn't feel embarrassed and was even a little amused.
They are also Qin Yujin's friends. Nian Ruxue is very close to Lin Xueqing, but at the same time seems not to see Su Liang, which is interesting.
After a while, Nian Ruxue seemed to realize that she had neglected Su Liang and apologized to her, "I was so happy to see Xue Qing that I forgot about Miss Su. Miss Su won't mind, right?"
Su Liang felt that it was baffling.
Nian Ruxue seems a little hostile to her? Is this trying to provoke their previous relationship? But they only met today.
Seeing that Su Liang was silent, Nian Ruxue looked at Qin Yujin, "Is Miss Su angry with me? I really didn't mean it."
Su Liang coughed lightly, "It turns out that Miss Nian was talking to me just now. Sorry, I was thinking about other things and didn't pay attention for the moment. I guess Miss Nian won't mind, right?"
Su Liang returned Nian Ruxue's words to her as they were.
The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became a little weird.
Qin Yujin was also a little confused and quickly smoothed things over.
Lin Xueqing silently held Su Liang's hand, saying that she and Su Liang were on the same side. That Miss Nian was so strange...
Nian Ruxue actually regrets not being tactful enough just now.
She didn't know why, but when she saw Su Liang, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He was obviously an unknown person, but it made her feel like she was being compared. Su Liang's appearance and temperament gave her something she had never experienced before.
Too much pressure.
When Nian Ruxue asked Qin Yujin how she met Su Liang, she actually wanted to know about Su Liang's background.
Qin Yujin only said that Su Liang was a female doctor who was treating her grandfather recently.
"That's it." Nian Ruxue smiled, "Miss Su must be very skilled in medicine. My grandmother has had a headache recently. I wonder if Miss Su can go and treat her?"
Su Liang shook his head, "No time."
No matter how dull Qin Yujin was, she realized that Su Liang didn't like Nian Ruxue, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Liang. It was her asking Nian Ruxue to get on the bus halfway, which affected Su Liang's interest.
Qin Yujin changed the subject and talked about other things with Nian Ruxue.
"I want to participate in the martial arts selection next month. Unfortunately, my second brother said that he would give me good guidance, but he left Beijing on business one after another under the emperor's orders." Nian Ruxue sighed, "I don't have much confidence, but I don't want to miss this opportunity.
, if I can get a good ranking, my second brother will definitely be very happy when he comes back."
It sounds like the relationship with Nian Jincheng is extremely good.
Qin Yujin encouraged Nian Ruxue with a serious expression, "You must participate, I believe you can do it!"
Lin Xueqing wanted to curl her lips, but held it back out of politeness. Her sister Su was also going to participate in the martial arts competition, and she would definitely win the top prize! That's what she felt anyway!
The carriage stopped, the four of them got out of the car and entered the Huguo Temple.
Qin Yujin and Nian Ruxue walked side by side in front.
Lin Xueqing followed behind with Su Liang on her arm, looking at the surrounding scenery curiously.
The four beautiful girls quickly attracted the attention of many people.
"cousin!"
Following a call, Xing Yusheng walked over quickly.
Nian Ruxue had a smile on her lips and was ready to say hello to Xing Yusheng, but she didn't expect that Xing Yusheng called Qin Yujin, but directly bypassed them and ran towards Su Liang and Lin Xueqing!
He didn't even look at Nian Ruxue.
"Su Liang, you are here too!" Xing Yusheng greeted Su Liang with a smile.
Lin Xueqing murmured in her heart, and then remembered what Qin Yujin said about Xing Yusheng giving him a house. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Xing Yusheng was attracted to her sister Su.
"Miss Lin, we meet again." Xing Yusheng's eyes fell on Lin Xueqing's face, and her tone suddenly became more positive.
Lin Xueqing nodded gently, "Prince Xing."
The two met at Qin's house, they just said hello briefly and didn't pay attention to each other.
At this moment, Xing Yusheng thought to herself: Miss Lin is very beautiful, and she is very familiar with Su Liang. She must have a very good temper.
Lin Xueqing thought to herself: This person must be here for Sister Su, and he wants to say hello to me. I have to tell Senior Brother Ning when I get back to make him feel a little bit in danger.
Mrs. Xing appeared not far away, and Qin Yujin quickly stepped forward to greet her.
"I haven't seen you for many years, and you have grown so big." Mrs. Xing said with a loving look on her face.
Qin Yujin introduced Nian Ruxue, while Mrs. Xing said calmly, "I have long heard of Miss Nian's reputation."
Su Liang and Lin Xueqing came over. Mrs. Xing's eyes brightened a bit, "Girl Liang has grown taller again."
Nian Ruxue was stunned for a moment. Mrs. Xing and Su Liang looked so familiar, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Su Liang chuckled, "I wanted to visit the old lady tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet her today."
"Then you have to go tomorrow, I'll wait at home." Mrs. Xing said cheerfully.
Su Liang quickly said he would definitely go.
Mrs. Xing then turned her attention to Lin Xueqing and asked Qin Yujin, pretending not to know, "Who is this lady..."
Qin Yujin quickly introduced, and Lin Xueqing greeted her politely.
Mrs. Xing held her hand and said with a smile, "I met your mother in the early years. She is a famous beauty. You really look like her."
One sentence complimented two people and brought them closer together.
Su Liang saw that Mrs. Xing was so close to Lin Xueqing, and her intuition was not because she knew Lin Xueqing's mother.
Turning around, he saw Xing Yusheng peeking at Lin Xueqing. What else doesn't Su Liang understand? I'm sorry that the grandson and grandson went to the Huguo Temple for a blind date!
Su Liang doesn't have any objections. Xing Yusheng is a very good person, and he has no ability to compare with anyone. In fact, he seems to be incompetent in literature and martial arts. The latter is true, but the former is false due to physical reasons. Originally, he was the King of Beijing.
Prince, it would be safer for him to be a useless person.
Nian Ruxue felt very embarrassed when she saw Mrs. Xing holding Qin Yujin with her left hand and Lin Xueqing with her right hand. Xing Yusheng was talking to her next to Su Liang.
Not long ago, she deliberately ignored Su Liang, and soon realized the feeling of being ignored. She didn't like this feeling very much. There is nothing to say that Mrs. Xing likes Qin Yujin, but she is so warm to both Su Liang and Lin Xueqing.
, but seemed to look down on her.
This was the first time in Nian Ruxue's life experience.
She pulled the veil, her eyes finally fixed on Su Liang's back, and said coldly to herself, "What is her background..."
