Lu Shiqing soon regretted it. He was so careless! Don't say that this was not what Xu Shan should do. He forgot the fear of living under someone else's shadow.
But his body was moving faster than his head, and the person fell into his arms. He couldn't push her back into the river. When he saw Yuan Cixian standing firm, he immediately let her go, stepped back and said, "Xu is rude."
Yuan Cixian had just recovered from her shock, waved her hand and said "thank you", and took a step back. For some reason, she felt guilty about this unexpected intimacy, so she looked back. At this glance, she saw the woman standing at the stern behind her, her eyes passing through her and falling on her opposite.
She clearly saw that Xu Ruqing's eyes suddenly turned red, as if because he heard the word "Xu".
She suddenly felt strangely embarrassed, nodded to both of them, and hurried away.
Lu Shiqing tried his best to keep his neck turned, restraining himself from looking at her, and followed Xu Ruqing into the black-sailed boat.
Yuan Cixian had something important to discuss with him, so she did not leave immediately, but returned to the shore to wait for the two of them. She saw from afar that the boatman waiting at the bow of the boat pushed the long pole and ordered the boat to slowly sail to the center of the river.
The situation in the black-sailed boat was not what she had imagined. After Xu Ruqing asked Lu Shiqing to sit down inside, she sighed and said, "Zishu, is that you?"
Lu Shiqing didn't seem to intend to hide it from him. He took off the mask and restored his natural voice, apologetically saying, "Master's wife, I made you come here for nothing."
"It's not a wasted trip. I haven't heard his voice for three years. You've imitated it very well." Xu Ruqing poured him a bowl of wine and said with a wry smile, "You are the only one who acknowledges me as 'Master's Wife'. Don't let him hear it, or he will be unhappy again."
Lu Shiqing swallowed with some difficulty and frowned.
Xu Ruqing said to himself, "One day three years ago, I received a letter from him. In the letter, he said that he was going to travel around the world, and the shortest time would be five or ten years, and the longest time would be never coming back. I couldn't find him, so I ran to Chang'an to ask you, and the explanation you gave me was exactly the same as his words."
Then she didn't return home.
He said he wanted to travel around the world, so she searched all over the world for him.
"Three months ago, when I heard my grandfather talking about the chess record, I actually knew it couldn't be him, but I was still afraid that there would be one in a million, so I didn't dare to miss it. The person who brought me here made me wait for more than two months, until you returned to Beijing on official business, and then the young lady gave me the news. I guessed it was you." She laughed when she said this, "Zishu, I'm not as vulnerable as he thinks, so why did you help him lie to me. Tell me, how did he leave? Before he left... was it painful?"
Lu Shiqing suddenly felt his tongue dry, and after a long silence, he said, "Teacher was assassinated on his way to Beijing. When I arrived, he was only one breath left. He wrote a letter to you and asked me to send it to Jiangzhou for him. I buried him nearby in Luoyang."
Xu Ruqing was silent for a long time after hearing this, but when he spoke again, he smiled and said, "It turns out that the person he misses most in this world is me." He then said, "Luoyang is great, the peonies are blooming beautifully, I just want to go and see them."
After she finished speaking, she tilted her head back and drank a bowl of hot wine. After putting the bowl down, she asked, "Who did this?" This time her tone was much colder.
Lu Shiqing frowned slightly: "Master's wife, I will take care of these things, so don't worry about it. The teacher doesn't want you to interfere."
She nodded, but did not insist any more, and smiled and sighed: "Tell me about him, how good it would be to be a carefree wild mandarin duck against me, why do you have to care about the people of the world."
Lu Shiqing pursed his lips and said, "There is no shortage of people in this world who 'show up when there is a way, and hide when there is no way'. What is rare is people like you who 'show up when there is no way'. I will complete what you didn't have time to do."
Xu Ruqing glanced at him and said, "It's hard for you."
He shook his head: "The teacher's ideal is also my ideal. It's not difficult."
"Last spring, there was a famine in Jiangzhou, and you were ordered to come and inspect it. Do you know what the people there said about you behind your back?"
Lu Shiqing thought about it and asked with interest: "Maybe he is the saint's running dog?"
"I know it very well." She looked at him, "Why, you don't care at all?"
"Why should I care?" He smiled. "I am doing what I should do as a 'running dog'. The more the world misunderstands me, the more the saints trust me."
Xu Ruqing responded in a low voice, nodding his chin towards the river bank which was already far away: "You don't care what Miss Yuan thinks of you?"
Lu Shiqing choked.
This question was like a slap in the face to him.
Of course he didn't care at first, so no matter how she asked questions and tested his political stance, he always responded with an attitude of "Oh, okay, I'll tell the saint." But this time when he went south, in order to create an image of glory and justice, he dropped all his airs and pretense.
Seeing that he was speechless, Xu Ruqing laughed out loud.
Lu Shiqing glanced at her and said, "How do you know it's her? She just introduced herself to you."
Xu Ruqing shook his head: "She didn't say it. I guessed it based on your reaction. After all, the story of Princess Lancang pursuing Minister Lu is all over the streets and alleys."
Lu Shiqing was stunned for a moment: "Has this matter spread to Jiangzhou?"
"No, I heard about it after I came to Chang'an." Seeing him relieved, Xu Ruqing smiled and said, "But I think the gossips of the common people are still not accurate. It's not that the Princess of Lancang is pursuing you, it's clearly that you are in love with her."
Lu Shiqing choked again.
Xu Ruqing continued heartlessly: "I'm not trying to hit you, I just noticed that she has a special attitude towards your teacher, and I'm jealous."
Yes!
Lu Shiqing finally found an ally to whom he could tell this matter, and said unhappily, "Don't mention it."
Xu Ruqing was also a little angry: "Look at you, just lend your teacher's name, why do you want to attract him? I don't care why you must lend him this name, I didn't know before, now that I know, you must pluck this peach blossom from him."
Lu Shiqing thought to himself that that would be great, and asked, "Does Master's wife have any good ideas?"
Xu Ruqing brushed her hair and said confidently, "Yes."
"Please teach me, Master's wife."
*
A quarter of an hour later, Yuan Cixian, who was sitting on the shore with his chin in his hand and looking at the center of the river from afar, suddenly saw the small black-sailed boat shaking violently, back and forth, left and right, as if it was about to fall apart.
She stared at the ripples in the river in shock. After a while, she glanced at Shi Cui who was also very surprised.
Shi Cui reached out and covered her eyes, as if confirming what she was thinking: "Young lady, this Mr. Xu is too reckless, you'd better not look at him..."
"Meng Lang's" "Xu Shengsheng" was sitting in the cabin with a dark face, at a loss. He looked at Xu Ruqing who was struggling to pedal the boat, and couldn't bear to watch and said, "Master's wife, you are almost done..."
Xu Ruqing panted and said, "No...! I tell you, women understand women best. After this time, I will make sure that all her thoughts will be cleared up!"
Lu Shiqing gnashed his teeth and said, "If she finds out who I am one day and recalls this scene, how do you want her to think of me? You are not helping me, but setting a trap for me."
She said confidently, "I'm not helping you in the first place. I just don't allow her to covet your teacher. If you don't let me finish this scene, I will turn around and tell her about it and wipe out all your secrets!"
As she spoke, she pushed her feet harder and said, "I didn't ask you to shake along, which is already very much like a 'teacher's wife'."
Lu Shiqing looked up at the sky helplessly, sighed, felt the sway of the boat, and said in embarrassment: "But didn't you push too far? How could it be..." It couldn't be that violent.
Xu Ruqing laughed out loud: "Zishu, you are not a virgin who has never had meat, right?"
"… "
Lu Shiqing said patiently: "Please be careful with your words as a teacher's wife."
Xu Ruqing shook his head and smiled: "Your teacher is gone, so naturally I should be the one to teach you. Remember, this is your teacher's style, you have to surpass him, otherwise Miss Yuan will dislike you."
"… "
Lu Shiqing couldn't listen any longer, his mouth twitched slightly, and he said perfunctorily: "Student will follow the teacher's teachings."
Xu Ruqing didn't finish, and continued to instruct: "Oh, by the way, you have to remember the time, and you have to work harder on the time."
He gritted his teeth and agreed, saying, "Hurry up, it's cold today and she's wearing too little."
Xu Ruqing glanced at him and said, "Don't use your teacher's title to care about her."
"knew."
Xu Ruqing finally agreed to stop and told the boatman, who was confused by the tossing of the bow, to turn the boat back. Then he pretended to be unsteady, bent down to get off the boat, walked towards the shore, and when he came to Yuan Cixian, he smiled and said, "I heard that the county lady and Ah Shan still have important matters to discuss, so I will go back first."
Yuan Cihan was not surprised that she knew her identity, as she thought it was Xu Shan who told her. However, she felt a little embarrassed about what had just happened, so she didn't say much and just nodded at her.
Xu Ruqing nodded to her and walked away. After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, turned around, and whispered in her ear: "I also heard a lot about you and Minister Lu in Chang'an. Let me teach you, we women's mouths are not used to coax men's ears. It's better to kiss him than to spend a lot of time to make up a hundred love words. If you don't believe it, try it next time, I guarantee you will get twice the result with half the effort and get him easily."
Xu Ruqing felt that he had done a good thing for Lu Shiqing, so he left "hiding his merit and fame", leaving Yuan Cihan where he was.
When Lu Shiqing got off the boat, he happened to see the two people whispering in each other's ears, but he didn't know what Xu Ruqing said. He was really curious, but he couldn't ask in the identity of Xu Shan. He had to hold his breath and walk to Yuan Cihan. Just as he was about to speak, he saw her face slightly flushed, as if blown by the cold wind.
He wanted to ask her what else she wanted to discuss with him today besides bringing Xu Sanniang to see him, but he paused. He really wanted to say: It's too cold on the shore, let's talk about it on the boat.
But he promised Xu Ruqing that he would not care about her as a teacher.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Yuan Cixian asked, "Sir, what do you want to say? Just say it directly." After he finished speaking, he happened to be blown by the cold wind and sneezed.
Lu Shiqing couldn't hold it back any longer and said, "It's cold outside, County Lady, please come with me to the boat to talk."
After he said that, he really wanted to slap himself.
He didn't want this to happen.
