The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 123 Are you two on a blind date?

The old man was dumbfounded, not knowing how to react. He even felt that he had heard wrongly.

Xue Qingyin said lightly: "I hate people who deceive the most. People are not machines, how can they not make mistakes? But if something goes wrong in the affairs under their control, not only do they not report it in time, but they try their best to cover it up. That is worse than making a mistake itself. Even scarier."

This is also said to other people in Zhuangzi.

Xue Qingyin did not say that the old man had nothing to do with the horse's injury, because it would not comfort him.

She only told him: "It's great for people like you to know how to save things in time."

Xue Qingyin took two silver coins and gave them to him.

The old man didn't dare to answer.

Xue Qingyin said: "Take it, you must work harder in the future. Even if you don't dare to ask for it, you must consider it for your family."

The old man wiped his face, and then carefully stretched out his hand to catch it. The joy in his eyes could not be concealed: "Thank you so much, master! Thank you so much, master! It's enough rice for the family for half a year!"

The palace guards couldn't help but frown when they saw this. I'm afraid that this move will make other people dissatisfied?

He looked around, and sure enough, the other servants couldn't help but get jealous.

At this time, I heard Xue Qingyin say: "It's not that you can get money if you make a mistake. What I just said is that you should be more honest and smart. If you do something good that is beneficial to Zhuangzi, you should also know how to show credit for yourself. , we should also speak frankly.”

Xue Qingyin's voice changed: "For example, where are the two who captured the thieves today?"

The two people looked happy and immediately stood up: "The young one is here!"

Xue Qingyin: "You protected my wife very promptly today, and you have merit in catching the thief. Naturally, there are rewards. We don't bully anyone, but if someone bullies us, even the king of heaven, I can't back down."

The two people looked at each other, their faces even more happy, and they responded in a loud voice: "Yes!"

Xue Qingyin immediately rewarded them.

It's more than what the old man earned.

At this time, when I look at the servants around me, they are mostly envious rather than jealous.

After all, Xue Qingyin is telling them, don't be afraid if you do something wrong, report it in time and make corrections and you will be rewarded. If you do something good, that would be even better, and you will be rewarded even more!

The royal guards looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.

But they thought too much, and the concubine was very capable in taking care of Zhuangzi!

Xue Qingyin murmured: "I have to go to the palace again tomorrow."

The servants on the side also looked worried and said, "Is that Princess Wei trying to deal with us?"

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "No, I'm going to file a complaint."

The servant was stunned: "Huh?"

"You have to be on guard these days. If someone tries to do something again... you'd better catch me! The more you can catch, the better." Xue Qingyin smacked her lips, "I'm afraid she won't come."

More is better.

The more time you have, the more you can cry!

"Okay, it's okay, just keep an eye on it carefully. Our horse is too expensive to die. Maybe a serious horse doctor will come in two days." Xue Qingyin said in a relaxed tone.

The host's ease naturally rubs off on others.

They also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and their steps became much easier when they carried Xue Qingyin down the mountain.

Xue Qingyin returned to Zhuangzi and heard Mrs. Xue's laughter from afar.

Mrs. Xue was often angry, and she could only smile from ear to ear when she was with Xue Qingyin.

It's strange today.

Xue Qingyin pursed her lips and smiled. It can be seen that as long as a person expands his social circle and lives a more fulfilling life, he will naturally be broad-minded.

"Did Aniang win the card?" Xue Qingyin lifted her skirt and walked in the door.

Mrs. Xue's eyebrows were shining and she waved to her quickly: "Come and see, isn't Aniang amazing?"

Xue Qingyin took a look.

It's true.

After a while, Mrs. Xue had a lot of broken silver piled up in front of her.

Xue Qingyin smiled and said, "When you return to the city, you have to buy me some food."

Mrs. Xue waved her hand: "Buy! Buy them all! What else do you want? Rouge and gouache?"

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "Those are all gone." As she said that, she looked at Mr. Lin and the others in front of her.

Needless to say, Mr. Lin will definitely please her mother-in-law. Are Mr. Ning and Liu Xiuyuan so bad at poker?

It's not that Xue Qingyin looks down on Mrs. Xue's card skills.

But when she first taught Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Xue was really bad at playing cards.

Xue Qingyin said: "Playing cards is just for entertainment, but don't play too big. Once the money is big, it's a gamble."

Mr. Lin smiled and said: "To put it seriously, we all have enough money."

Xue Qingyin glanced at Ning Que.

Isn’t this Mr. Ning short of money?

Well, I guess so. Otherwise, they would not give out Taishan stones as gifts casually.

"This card is really fun!" Mr. Lin sighed repeatedly.

Xue Qingyin tilted her head and smiled: "Next time, we will set up a place on Zhuangzi specifically to play this. What do you think?"

"Set up a special place?"

"Well, it's called the chess and card room."

"I'm optimistic about it!" Mr. Lin said, "Then I will definitely come to visit."

Ning Que followed him calmly: "I'm coming too."

Mr. Lin felt strange after hearing this.

But I can't say what's wrong.

Anyway, according to Mr. Ning’s temperament, he shouldn’t say such things...

Seeing that it was getting late, Xue Qingyin was thinking about going to the palace tomorrow, so she prepared to go back.

Mrs. Xue naturally came along.

Everyone went out together.

Mr. Lin bowed to say goodbye, walked to the carriage, and said to Ning Que, "Mr. Ning, please go first."

Ning Que stopped for a moment, but suddenly turned around and walked to Xue Qingyin again, whispering: "Tomorrow... Miss and Madam will come to the manor?"

Xue Qingyin asked in confusion: "Does Mr. Ning want to come and play tomorrow?"

Ning Que said: "Tomorrow I will send someone to deliver Taishan stone. I am afraid that the people below do not know the value of it, and it would be a pity if it is bumped. If someone from the master's family is here, it would be the best."

This is too enthusiastic... Xue Qingyin was secretly shocked.

Mrs. Xue thought for a while and said: "I will do it."

Ning Que bowed and said: "Thank you for your hard work."

Mrs. Xue muttered in her heart, what is the hard work? It's not her who is delivering stones to others?

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

She thought that the old ginger is still spicy! She is still much more sensitive than her daughter!

This Ning must have an intention!

Mrs. Xue pretended to be calm and asked: "Does Mr. Ning have any sons and nephews in his family?"

Is this person trying to find a marriage for her daughter?

Ning Que was also shocked.

She began to ask about his family situation...

Ning Que said politely: "I have several nephews and nieces. One of them is an official in the court, and the others are still young and are still studying."

Mrs. Xue asked again: "Are they all married?"

Ning Que said: "The family has arranged marriages for them a long time ago."

Mrs. Xue thought to herself, oh, did she misunderstand? What does this man want to do?

It can't be him...

Mrs. Xue asked him: "Then the gentleman should have a virtuous wife at home, right? Why don't we come to the farm to play together next time, and we can talk together."

Ning Que said repeatedly: "No! No! I... haven't married yet."

Mrs. Xue replied: "Oh."

Then he must have a plan!

Most people in the Daliang Dynasty started to look for people to arrange marriages when they were eleven or twelve years old, and got married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

Because people at that time advocated getting married first and then starting a career.

Of course, the more important reason is the short average life expectancy and low survival rate of newborns. If you don't get married early, you may not have a successful surviving child when you die.

That would cut off the incense!

For people at that time, it was more painful than killing him.

For this person, he is still unmarried at his age.

Madam Xue thought, is there something wrong with this person?

Ning Que seemed to see what she was thinking, and hurriedly said: "I grew up in a Taoist temple since I was a child..."

Later, the Xu family needed him, so he entered the court as an official. Otherwise, he would still be a Taoist priest now.

Madam Xue suddenly realized.

Taoist priests cannot get married before returning to the secular world.

No wonder he dressed like a Taoist priest!

She was thinking wrong.

Since he is a Taoist priest, what intentions can he have?

Madam Xue smiled and said: "If you said this earlier, I would have kept you to sit down and tell fortunes."

Madam Xue had originally thought about taking a day to go to the Taoist temple to ask for a talisman for Xue Qingyin.

Xue Qingyin even put the matter of accompanying her to the Taoist temple on the agenda.

Madam Xue saw that Ning Que looked a bit like a fairy, with outstanding temperament. Although he is a bit long-winded in his words and deeds, his character is excellent.

Now he is going to give them Taishan stone.

If they can get along well, they might as well add more incense money to his Taoist temple in the future.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xue asked again: "How is your Taoism? Is it profound? Can you draw talismans?"

Ning Que: "... Yes, I think so."

He has not practiced Taoism for many years. Is it too late to pick it up again now?

Xue Qingyin looked at Ning Que and then at Mrs. Xue.

What are they talking about?

Why is it like a blind date?
