The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

After five years, the two met again in the library of Baoning Houfu.

That day, Xie Ling was standing inside the house, watching Shang Chanchan deal with Zhou Jingran outside the window.At that time, Shang Chanchan thought there was an amphora poked inside.

Today, she was standing in the room instead, watching Xie Ling and Shang Chi Daiyu talk through the window.

The summer sun was shining brightly, so the matter was kept secret, and naturally no servants followed.So Shang Chi held an umbrella for his wife with his own hands.

When Xie Ling was brought in by his servants, Daiyu was smiling sideways, and said to Shang Chi: "In just a short while, where did it get sunburnt? It's unnecessary."

Shang Chi also smiled at his wife: "You can't be sunburned, but I can be heartbroken. So this umbrella is very necessary."

Xie Ling is a martial arts practitioner with excellent eyesight, so he took this seriously.

I was envious and bitter in my heart.

After a slight pause, he calmed down and came up to see the two of them.

Shang Chi looked him over for a while, and felt a little relieved in his heart.

I saw that Xie Ling couldn't see any depression, but it was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, containing a sharp edge.

"It's hard for you to take orders in danger." Shang Chi's tone was as gentle as ever.

Xie Ling still treated the two of them as brothers and sisters-in-law, and after saluting respectfully, he said: "Those who suffer from pain in their necks, state affairs are serious, and they dare not look after their own interests."

Shang Chi smiled: "Okay, let's leave such high-sounding words to the court."

"Today I called you here for a private matter."

Xie Ling bowed again: "I wanted to come to see you, but..." He lowered his head, but did not say the reason.

The feeling of being close to the hometown is timid, which is probably the case.

Shang Chi looked up at the sky, it was hot and sweltering in July in Beijing.

However, the sky is high and far away, a boundless blue, without a cloud.

"The king of Nan'an County is escorted to Beijing today."

Shang Chi said casually: "Everyone thinks he is confused, but if he puts himself in the shoes and puts his wife and children in it, who can guarantee that he will make the choice to abandon his family."

His eyes fell on Xie Ling: "What if it was you?"

Xie Ling shook his head: "I will not put my wife and children in such a dangerous place. Zhou Heng's choice is not forced, it is self-inflicted."

If it were him, he wouldn't be stupid enough to control his coils like a sieve with loopholes.

The king of Nan'an County caused General Xie to almost die in Fujian, Xie Ling naturally hated him, and refused to even call him a prince, but called him by his first name.

Of course, Wang Jue is probably going to be cut for this big mistake he made.

Then Shang Chi turned sideways: "Go in, two quarters of an hour should be enough, we will wait here."

Xie Ling didn't go in directly, but took out a stack of thick paper and handed it to Shang Chi.

Then he bowed to the two of them, and then went up the stairs.

Here Daiyu couldn't help laughing: "You actually asked such stupid words? Sure enough, Mr. Xie blocked you back. It can be seen that caring makes chaos. It's about Chanchan, and you will inevitably mess up your position."

If he didn't care about it, he would be in chaos. Why did he compare Xie Ling with the king of Nan'an County?

Shang Chi shook his head: "Is this the only thing I'm confused about? Let my parents know that today I actually called Xie Ling and let the two meet in private. I'm afraid my father will ask the family law to deal with me gone."

Holding a fan with a suet white jade handle in her hand, Daiyu shook it slightly, and said with a smile: "Sister Feng said that she has an external plaster that is very effective. I have already asked for it, and prepared it for you."

Shang Chi asked his wife to make fun of him and didn't say anything, he just lowered his head with a smile and shook the stack of papers Xie Ling left him.

He casually said: "What is this? Could it be a letter expressing his stance? Let alone what he wrote, just looking at the thickness, it can be regarded as hard work."

Daiyu saw that he couldn't see with one hand, so they went to the next cubicle, picked up two random chairs and sat down.

Since Candles were not allowed in the Zangshu Pavilion, Daiyu stretched out her hand and opened half of the window, and the sunlight poured in, shining golden all over the floor.

The husband and wife sat together and read the letter left by Xie Ling.

However, after reading a few pages, the faces of both of them changed a little.

Now let's say that Xie Ling pushed the door and entered, and saw Shang Chanchan sitting in the seat she had sat in before, looking at him with a smile.

A pair of eyes lit up like a burning fire.

"Sit down. There is not much time, so let's make a long story short."

Shang Chanchan took off the jade rabbit hairpin from her hair with her backhand, and said with a smile: "Where do we start, let's start with the rabbit essence."

She had already prepared the draft, and briefly talked about her time travel in a very fluent manner.

Xie Ling's expression didn't change, he just listened intently.

In the end, Shang Chanchan sighed: "Unfortunately, for me, this is not history, but the world in books. So I don't know any important national affairs, but I can name many servant girls in Rongguo Mansion. So I can't help you much." .”

"When I was a child, I read a fairy tale. It was said that in the book, the people in the painting could walk down alive. Who would have thought that I would be the opposite of others, that I walked into the book."

Xie Ling lowered his eyes and said, "You haven't said these words to others, have you?"

Shang Chanchan smiled: "Of course not. Wouldn't people be treated as a monster and burnt for such a thing as returning the soul from a dead body?"

Xie Ling said solemnly: "Don't tell anyone else."

Pointing out of the window again: "Don't worry, Ling brother and sister-in-law are not here now, so they won't hear us talking."

Shang Chanchan played with the hairpin in her hand, turned her head and smiled: "Xie Ling, death is not a terrible thing to me, even different from anyone else, death is not a strange thing to me."

"Remember this, I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

"Of course I don't know about marching and fighting, but whether it's one year, three years or ten years, you just fight your own battles, and leave the affairs of Beijing to me."

Xie Ling's throat moved slightly, and he was about to speak.

Shang Chanchan smiled, and pressed the jade rabbit on the hairpin to his lips: "The world I lived in before is different from yours here."

"What we pay attention to is equality between men and women. Women can hold up half the sky. You don't have to say that you want to take care of me."

"I'm here, waiting for you to come back."

Xie Ling looked into her eyes and thought, "What can you do?"

Time is also life.

No matter what kind of country you are talking about, in this dynasty, it is still the words of the matchmaker.

For a daughter like you who has not left the cabinet, it is because Marquis Baoning loves you so much that he can ask you in advance what you think about your marriage.

If you change to another family, you just need to inform the girl, good or bad is up to God.

You said that Jingzhong will be handed over to you, how can I ask you a girl to fight for these things.

Xie Ling only felt sore in his heart.

After all, she is not from here, and her words and actions are unexpected, so she is so whimsical.

In the future, the Empress Dowager and Lord Baoning will naturally have a way to make her submit.

However, seeing her expression, Xie Ling couldn't bear to say it.

Shang Chanchan didn't seem to want to listen to him at all, she stood up after she finished speaking, and said, "It's almost time, you can go."

Xie Ling felt as if he was stepping on a cloud, and he didn't know how to get out.

He has always talked less, and he has made mistakes a few times when he talked too much.

So he simply listened to Shang Chanchan from the beginning to the end, not willing to miss a word.

If there is no fate, this will be the last time the two of them will speak alone in this life.

Shang Chi and Dai Yu saw him coming out from the window, so they also came out, holding the stack of papers in their hands.

Shang Chi looked solemn: "Do you think that Chanchan's previous illness was this soul-leaving disease?"

Xie Ling nodded: "Yes."

What he handed to Shang Chi were some doctors' notes, prescriptions, and many anecdotal records from the people.

Among them, some people have names and surnames, and their identities can be tested, while some are just stories passed down by word of mouth.

But they all have one thing in common: their temperament changed drastically after a serious illness, and some of them suddenly learned something that they didn't know before, and said some strange words.

He even let in a young Tibetan monk who could recite Poems of King Gesar after a serious illness.

Xie Ling said: "I heard that she often didn't speak when she was young, but after a serious illness, she changed her temperament."

Shang Chi nodded: "Yes, before the age of eight, the number of times I talked to my sister can be counted on one hand. Let alone our father and son, even my mother, it is difficult to say a word to her."

Xie Ling's heart fell to the ground: he knew that Shang Chi was extremely intelligent.

Xie Ling thought: Shang Chanchan could show her tail in front of him, maybe she would show some flaws at home that she didn't even know about.

He couldn't leave her alone in the capital and do nothing for her.

So Xie Ling collected many similar situations to confuse Shang Chi.

In the next day, Shang Chanchan will do anything astonishing again.Xie Ling also hoped that Shang Chi would immediately think of the onset of her soul-leaving disease.

As an outsider, Xie Ling met Shang Chanchan from the very beginning.

It doesn't matter if she is the "traveler" he called, or the rabbit spirit he thought before.

Xie Ling thought he could accept it.

But he compared his heart with his heart, and he also understood that the entire Baoninghou Mansion probably wouldn't be able to accept it, as his blood relatives had already changed.

Xie Ling didn't even dare to think about what they would do to Shang Chanchan if they found out the truth.

In the past, he thought that the two of them would get married in less than two years, and when they lived in Duke Cheng's mansion, he would cover it up for her.

But now, the marriage is uncertain, and he has to go out of Beijing again.

Then I have to make a clear plan for her, lay the groundwork for her, and don't make others suspicious of the matter of resurrecting the dead.

At this time, he was relieved to hear that Shang Chi was also very strange to his sister in the past.

He just bowed and saluted, and said earnestly: "Brother, I asked the Tai Hospital, I'm afraid she will be stimulated by such a disease."

"I have something to ask you. After all, she is the daughter of the inner house. If something happens to me in the future, you can hide it from her if you can."
