Let Me Pursue You - Chapter 45

Lu Shiqing soon regretted it, he owed it! Don’t say that this is not what Xu Shan should do, he must have forgotten the fear of living in the shadow of others.

But helplessly, his body turned faster than his head, and everyone fell into his arms, so he couldn’t push it back into the river. Seeing that Yuan Cixian had stabilized, he immediately let go of her, took a step back and said, “Xu I’m sorry.”

Yuan Cixian was shocked, she waved her hands and said “thank you”, and also took a step back, feeling guilty for some reason because of this unexpected intimacy, she looked back. At this glance, he saw the woman behind him standing at the stern, his eyes went straight through her, and fell on her opponent.

She clearly saw that Xu Ruqing’s eye sockets turned red, as if she heard the phrase “Xu”.

She suddenly felt a strange sense of embarrassment, nodded with the two, and hurried away.

Lu Shiqing tried his best to keep his neck twisted, and restrained himself from looking at her, and followed Xu Ruqing into the black boat.

Yuan Cixian still had business to discuss with him, so he didn’t leave immediately, but retreated to the shore to wait for the two of them. From a distance, she saw the boatman waiting at the bow of the boat propped up a long pole and told the boat to sail slowly towards the middle of the river.

But the situation in the black-covered boat was not what she had imagined. After Xu Ruqing asked Lu Shiqing to sit down inside, he sighed, “Zi Shu, is that you?”

Lu Shiqing didn’t seem to intend to hide it from him, so he reached out to take off the mask, resumed his original voice, and said apologetically, “Master, I told you to take a trip in vain.”

“It’s not in vain. I haven’t heard his voice for three years. You are very similar.” Xu Ruqing poured him a bowl of wine and said with a wry smile, “Only you will admit that I am a ‘teacher’, so don’t let him hear it. , otherwise he should be unhappy again.”

Lu Shiqing swallowed with difficulty and frowned.

Xu Ruqing said to himself: “One day three years ago, I received a letter from him, which said that he was going to travel around the world. The shortest period was five or ten years, and the longest period was never to return. I couldn’t find him, so I came to Chang’an to ask him. You, in the end, the explanation you gave me was exactly the same as what he said.”

Then she didn’t come home.

He said he wanted to travel all over the world, so she searched all over the world to find him.

“Three months ago, when I heard my grandfather talking about chess records, I knew it shouldn’t be him, but I was still afraid of one in a million, and I didn’t dare to miss it. The person who brought me here told me to wait for more than two months until You returned to Beijing on a business trip, and that little lady gave me the news just now. I guess it’s probably you.” She laughed a little at this point, “Zi Shu, I’m not as vulnerable as he thought, so why bother Help him lie to me. Tell me, how did he walk? Did he… hurt before he left? “

Lu Shiqing suddenly felt tongue-tied, and said in silence for a long time: “Teacher was assassinated on the way to Beijing. When I arrived, he had only one breath left. He forced himself to write a letter to you and asked me to send it for him. Go to Jiangzhou. I buried him in the nearest Luoyang.”

Xu Ruqing was silent for a long time when he heard this, but he smiled again: “In this world, what he misses the most is indeed me.” Then he said, “How is Luoyang, the peonies are blooming beautifully, I just wanted to go and see them.”

After she finished speaking, she raised her head to drink a bowl of hot wine, put the bowl down and asked, “Who made it?” This time her tone was much colder.

Lu Shiqing frowned slightly: “Master, if I have these matters, you can leave them alone, and the teacher doesn’t want you to intervene.”

She nodded, but she didn’t insist anymore, and said with a smile: “Tell me about him, how nice it is to be a carefree wild mandarin duck with me, and don’t care about the common people in the world.”

Lu Shiqing pursed his lips: “There has never been a shortage of people in this world who ‘show up when you have the way, and hide when you don’t have the way’. There are few people with lofty ideals who ‘show up without the way’ like the teacher. Things that the teacher has not had time to do, I will Done for him.”

Xu Ruqing glanced at him: “It’s hard for you.”

He shook his head: “The teacher’s ideal is also my ideal, there is nothing difficult.”

“Last spring, there was a famine in Jiangzhou. You were ordered to come and inspect it. Do you know what the people there said about you?”

Lu Shiqing thought for a while, and asked with great interest: “Maybe it’s the saint’s lackey?”

“I know it clearly.” She glanced at him, “Why, you don’t care at all?”

“Why should I care?” He smiled, “I do what I should do in the way of a ‘running dog’. The more the world misunderstands me, the more the sage trusts me.”

Xu Ruqing responded in a low voice, and raised his chin towards the river bank which was already far away: “I don’t care what Miss Yuan looks at you?”

Lu Shiqing choked.

It was as if he had been slapped in the face by asking this question.

Of course he didn’t care at first, so no matter what she said at the beginning, to test his political stance, he always looked like “Oh, okay, I will tell the saint”, but this time he went south, in order to create a glorious and righteous image , the airs are no longer placed, and the score is gone.

Seeing that he was at a loss for words, Xu Ruqing laughed out loud.

Lu Shiqing glanced at her: “How do you know it’s her? She just reported herself to you?”

Xu Ruqing shook her head: “She didn’t say it. I guessed it based on your reaction. After all, the story of the Lord Lancang’s pursuit of Lu Shilang is spread everywhere in the streets and alleys.”

Lu Shiqing was stunned for a moment: “Has this matter spread to Jiangzhou?”

“That’s not true. I heard about it after I came to Chang’an.” Seeing him heaved a sigh of relief, Xu Ruqing said with a smile, “But I see that the common people’s gossip is still inaccurate. How could it be that Lancang county lord is after you? You miss others.”

Lu Shiqing choked again.

Xu Ruqing continued to say heartlessly: “It’s not that I hit you, I see that she has an unusual attitude towards your teacher, and I’m so jealous.”

No!

Lu Shiqing finally found an ally who could tell the story, and said with a bad face, “Don’t mention it.”

Xu Ruqing was also a little angry: “You say you, just borrow your teacher’s name, how can you give him a peach blossom? I don’t care why you have to borrow this name. I didn’t know it before, but now that I know it, I must I picked off his peach blossom.”

Lu Shiqing thought that it’s good to be brave, and asked, “Does Master have a good plan?”

Xu Ruqing brushed the broken hair in front of his forehead, and said to himself, “Yes.”

“Please enlighten me, Master.”

A quarter of an hour later, sitting on the bank with his chin in his hands, looking at Yuan Cixian in the middle of the river from a distance, he suddenly saw the little black-covered boat shaking violently, back and forth, left and right. Like falling apart.

She stared at the rippling ripples in the heart of the river in shock, and after a while, she glanced at Shi Cui who was also very surprised.

Shi Cui reached out to cover her eyes, as if affirming what she was thinking: “Little lady, this Mr. Xu is too menglang, you better stop watching…”

“Xu Shengsheng” of “Meng Lang” was sitting in the cabin with a dark face, at a loss, looking at Xu Ruqing who was pedaling **** the opposite side, and couldn’t bear to look at him: “Master, you are almost ready…”

Xu Ruqing gasped and said, “No…! Let me tell you, women understand women best. After this time, keep her mind clean and tidy!”

Lu Shiqing gritted her teeth: “If she finds out my identity one day, and recalls this scene, how do you tell her to miss me? You are not helping me, but digging a hole for me.”

She said confidently: “I didn’t mean to help you. I just didn’t allow her to covet your teacher. If you don’t tell me to finish this scene, I’ll tell her when I turn around and shake everything about you!”

As she spoke, she kicked her feet harder, and said, “I didn’t ask you to shake it with me, and you are already a very ‘mother-in-law’.”

Lu Shiqing looked at the sky helplessly, sighed, feeling the sway of the boat, wondering: “But did you push too far, how could it be…” How could it be so violent.

Xu Ruqing burst into laughter with a “poof”: “Zi Shu, you haven’t tried meatless chicken, have you?”

“…”

Lu Shiqing said patiently: “Please pay attention to your wording as a teacher’s wife.”

Xu Ruqing shook and smiled: “Your teacher is gone, so naturally I should give you some advice. Remember, this is your teacher’s sway. You have to be better than blue, otherwise Miss Yuan will despise you.”

“…”

Lu Shiqing couldn’t listen anymore, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said perfunctorily: “Students would like to follow the teacher’s mother’s instruction.”

But Xu Ruqing didn’t finish, and continued to instruct: “Oh, by the way, you remember the time, and you have to work harder on the time.”

He gritted his teeth and said, “Hurry up, it’s cold today, she doesn’t wear much.”

Xu Ruqing glanced at him: “Don’t use your teacher’s name to care about her.”

“understood.”

Xu Ruqing was finally willing to stop, and asked the boatman whose bow was bumped into a daze to drive the boat back, then pretended to be sloppy, bent down to get off the boat, and walked towards the shore. When he came to Yuan Cixian, he said with a smile: “I heard The county magistrate and Ah Shan still have important matters to discuss, so I will go back first.”

Yuan Cixian was not surprised that she would know her identity, she thought it was Xu Shan who told her, but she felt how embarrassed the other party was at the scene, so she didn’t say much, just nodded to her.

Xu Ruqing nodded to her and left, walked a few steps and seemed to remember something, turned around, and whispered in her ear: “I also heard a lot about you and Lu Shilang in Chang’an City. Let me teach you, we women’s mouths are not for coaxing a man’s ears, trying to make up a hundred love words, it is better to kiss him. If you don’t believe me, try it next time, keeping it will get twice the result with half the effort, and it will come in handy.”

Xu Ruqing felt that he had done a good deed for Lu Shiqing, and left after “hiding his merit and fame”, leaving Yuan Cixian in place.

When Lu Shiqing got off the boat, he saw the scene of the two biting their ears, but he didn’t know what Xu Ruqing said. He was really itchy with curiosity, but he couldn’t ask as Xu Shan, so he had to hold his breath and walk up to Yuan Cixian. Seeing that her face was slightly flushed, as if blown by the cold wind.

He originally wanted to ask her, apart from bringing Xu Sanniang to see him today, what else did she have to discuss with him, but this time it was a meal. He really wanted to say: It’s too cold on the shore, if you have anything to say, let’s discuss it on board.

But he promised Xu Ruqing that he would not care about her as a teacher.

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Yuan Cixian asked, “What do you want to say, sir? Just be blunt.” After speaking, he was blown by the cold wind and sneezed.

Lu Shiqing didn’t hold back anymore, and said: “It’s cold outside, the county lord should follow me to the boat to talk.”

After he finished speaking, he really wanted to slap himself in the face.

He didn’t want this to happen.
