No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 491: Poaching each other?

"Young lady Qin, you have made a fool of yourself."

"No, they are well written. These two poems are cleverly composed and full of literary talent. You can see the deep emotions in the poets. Is it really written by Mr. Wei? I didn't expect such good literary talent."

"Miss Qin, I'm so grateful. A thousand cups are easy to get, but a true friend is hard to find. Even if you have a high-pitched song and a few words, you still look to the mountains, hoping for the corresponding sound of running water.

"Poetry is like this, it needs a confidant. I didn't expect that Miss Qin would be the one who resonates with me.

"Come, please have some tea."

On the third floor of Yunshui Pavilion, in the private room of Tianzi No., Wei Shaoqi smiled and extended his hand, inviting Qin Ying to have tea.

Qin Ying raised the teacup, lowered her eyes and blew in the hot air. Under Wei Shaoqi's attentive gaze, she put the teacup down again without drinking.

Qin Ying raised her head:

"Master Wei is a little different from what I thought before."

"What's the difference? It doesn't just have two eyes, a nose and a mouth, but it can also be a man-eating monster?"

Wei Shaoqi couldn't help but laugh, pointed at his nose, made a joke and laughed twice.

"Some rumors may not be possible now."

She couldn't help but look up and down at the third young master of Prince Wei in front of her.

I saw that he was wearing ordinary gray soap clothes today, and he did not have the air of a noble son of the Prince of Wei's palace.

There are some sweat stains on the forehead, and the soap clothes on the body are dusty and wrinkled, especially the cuffs, which are a little dirty. They are the dark color after the white porridge that was accidentally spilled has dried.

He has a faint smile on his face, making him approachable and giving the impression of being somewhat elegant and gentle.

"It's normal. Most people in the world are prejudiced. Three people can make a tiger. On the streets of Luoyang, many people scolded my father, saying that he was incompetent to flatter the emperor. They said that the children of the Wei family are just idiots and are not good at leading troops and fighting."

Wei Shaoqi said eloquently and shook his head helplessly.

"But if you let them come and put them in my father's position to handle national and military affairs, they will remain silent. Only when you are in that position can you know how difficult it is. No matter what you do, a group of people will be dissatisfied. Get scolded.”

Qin Ying also smiled and was noncommittal.

She handed back the poem in her hand.

"If it was written by Mr. Wei, it can be seen that Mr. Wei has great ambitions and wants to do something practical."

"Eh."

Wei Shaoqi sighed softly and shook his head. It seemed that he had a lot to say but swallowed them back, all of which turned into a silent and determined profile.

Let Qin Ying take another look.

Wei Shaoqi lowered his head and put away the two poems that he claimed to have written by himself. During this period, he quietly looked at the face and expression of the fat girl opposite him who had finally invited him out for tea.

"Speaking of which, I was actually in a hurry today. I wonder if I neglected Miss Qin.

"Hey, I just read the letter from my father two days ago, and I know roughly what happened to Miss Qin. I received a reply from General Qin early this morning, and I only found out about this meeting. I rushed here in a hurry, and I didn't even have time to change my clothes. , I hope Miss Qin won’t be surprised.”

"will not."

After a pause, Qin Ying asked softly:

"Master Wei, what are you doing this morning? Also, do you usually go out alone without a bodyguard?"

"What are you doing with a bodyguard?" Wei Shaoqi asked back, and then said with a serious face: "We in the Wei family do have some unscrupulous disciples who like to lead a bodyguard to bully men and women, but I am a lazy person, I really don't like to show off, and I don't feel that I How noble and special.”

He looked down at his sleeves and smiled sheepishly:

"As for clothing, it's like this. In the mornings of the past two days, I accompanied my cousin Qiniang to distribute porridge and some clothes to keep out the cold at Xingzifang."

"That's it." Qin Ying nodded: "Some people heard that some noble people in Xingzifang have done good deeds in the past two days, but I didn't expect it to be Mr. Wei and your sister."

Wei Shaoqi smiled faintly, as if he didn't care about these things of accumulating merit, and he changed the topic calmly:

"I've heard Miss Qin's name a long time ago, and today I saw her beauty. In fact, Miss Qin is a little different from what I thought before."

"What's different?"

"It's more lively and lively."

Qin Ying laughed at herself: "Maybe it's because there's been a lot of hunting in autumn recently, and it's been a little darker due to the wind, frost, and sun."

"No and no."

Wei Shaoqi looked very focused and said:

"Who said women are inferior to men? Who said women must be raised in a boudoir? Miss Qin's temperament is unique in the world, and she is also a hero among women."

He waved his hand and immediately raised his glass to Qin Ying with a cup of tea.

Qin Ying smiled slightly and said nothing.

Seeing that this granddaughter of the Qin family seemed to speak very little and didn't answer much, the atmosphere was a bit cold. Wei Shaoqi opened his mouth with an unchanging smile, then beat around the bush and praised General Qin a few words, full of admiration. Feelings.

"By the way, Qiniang is also of the same age as Miss Qin. Why don't we meet someday and do some charity work together?
"When the time comes, Qiniang can also learn from Miss Qin."

Qin Ying shook her head: "I should learn from the princess and have the patience to do good."

"Miss Qin is so humble."

Seeing that Qin Ying seemed to be in a good mood, Wei Shaoqi took advantage of the victory to pursue:

"I heard that Miss Qin likes hunting. Unfortunately, I also like it quite a lot. I'm not familiar with Jiangzhou when I first came here. How about Miss Qin guiding me? Well, I will definitely listen to Miss Qin and not steal the prey."

Qin Ying shook her head without even thinking about it: "It still can't be done, I'm used to being lazy alone."

After saying that, she turned to look at the sky outside the window, stood up at the tea table, said goodbye, put on her shoes and prepared to go out.

Wei Shaoqi suddenly couldn't sit still, suppressed the irritation in his eyes, followed him, and asked with a smile:

"My father and General Qin want us young people to go out and walk around more. Miss Qin, please don't feel pressured. We won't listen to them. It's boring to act strictly. It's just like completing the task." Let's do whatever we want.

"Haha, we are all from Luoyang anyway. In this remote place, there are many topics to talk about.

"By the way, Miss Qin, there will be an autumn gathering in Kuanglu tomorrow. It seems to be a lot of fun. If nothing happens these two days, I wonder if Miss Qin can..."

Qin Ying suddenly turned around and interrupted: "Master Wei, have you been okay these two days?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Master Wei, if you have time, you can go to the Xunyang Grottoes under construction at Shuangfengjian. If you have more time, you can also go to Longcheng County and observe the Zheyi Canal... These are all good examples, all from The governor of this province, Ouyang Lianghan, also spoke highly of these, and they are worthy of Mr. Wei's observation and learning..."

Wei Shaoqi was stunned when he saw the fat Qin girl in front of him giving serious instructions:

"It can be seen from those two poems that Mr. Wei has ambitions in his heart. I, Qin Ying, quite admire a man who has such ambitions. However, since ancient times, the book business has always been easy to talk on paper. I would like to give you some suggestions. Mr. Wei should be less obsessed with poetry and think more about how to do practical things for the country and the people."

He defended: "Actually, I did it too..."

Qin Ying shook her head and interrupted: "Mr. Wei, if you do good deeds, you can only do good for a moment. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish, just like Ouyang Lianghan did. Only for a moment and for eternity can you do good. Which one is more important, you should know better.

"Mr. Wei, it's better to let a daughter like your sister do such things as delivering rice and clothes, so don't go."

Opening his mouth and shutting up Ouyang Lianghan... Wei Shaoqi's eyes were full of anger. He suppressed his temper, and his face was filled with a warm smile and a bit of interest.

He was extremely majestic, smiling instead of angry, and nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go take a look in the next two days. Ouyang Lianghan, I have long admired his name."

Wei Shaoqi said again: "Miss Qin, please go slowly. I'll take you down. Let's make an appointment and have a meal next time..."

Qin Ying replied apologetically:

"I've been a little busy recently. I have to accompany Sister Xie. I'll talk to you later when I have the opportunity... By the way, Mr. Wei would be better off visiting this Yunshui Pavilion less often in the future."

"Why does Miss Qin not like the tea here?"

"No, this building looks serious, but some tea ceremony businesses are not serious. I don't know why Mr. Wei chose this place to meet."

"Not serious?" Wei Shaoqi suddenly frowned.

He looked around:
"Actually, I... I was also recommended here by a friend. He said this place is low-key and quiet. I'm not sure. I'm really sorry, Miss Qin."

"It doesn't matter."

Wei Shaoqi had no time to dwell on this matter. He looked at the back of the fat girl who was walking in front and strode away. While following, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked directly:

"Does Miss Qin have a sweetheart in Xunyang City, so she wants to avoid suspicion? Yes, Miss Qin has been staying in Xunyang... so who is he? Could it be... Ouyang Liang, the governor of Jiangzhou John?"

"Master Wei, please stop talking nonsense."

Qin Ying said without looking back.

The tone was calm and no emotion could be heard.

Wei Shaoqi was a little unsure, so he chased him out. At this time, the two of them left the box and were walking on the long corridor covered with Persian carpets.

As soon as they passed a box, the door of the box was opened from the inside, and a slender and handsome figure walked straight out of it. The slender and handsome figure was lowering his head to adjust his clothes and collar before going out.

The two waves of people suddenly collided.

"Master Ouyang?" Qin Ying turned around.

"Qin, Miss Qin."

Ouyang Rong raised his head and said curiously.

After Li Dalang left, he drank tea alone in the box, thought for a while, and prepared to go downstairs to leave. When he went out, he was still thinking about the Qin and Wei families.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived... He was stunned at the moment.

In the corridor, Ouyang Rong, Wei Shaoqi, and Qin Ying stared at each other.

The atmosphere became a little subtle.

Ouyang Rong looked at where they were standing one after another, and then looked sideways at the Tianzihao box behind them.

His eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

He looked at Wei Shaoqi.

Wei Shaoqi also squinted his eyes and looked at Ouyang Rong.

In the solemn atmosphere, Qin Ying asked curiously:
"Why is Master Ouyang here, alone?"

"what?"

Ouyang Rong came to his senses and nodded.

At this time, a maid in rather cool clothes came respectfully, bowed and said in a flattering tone:
"Master, please walk slowly. There is no need to go to the counter to pay. Your friend named Su Fu has already paid for your tea. Master, our store recently launched the 'Jade Man' tea ceremony. Your friend ordered this. You can also try it, sir. It will definitely be more interesting than drinking tea alone. If you are interested, you can ask that friend in the future, he is also a regular customer..."

"Su, help?"

Ouyang Rong immediately saw that after hearing these two words, Qin Ying's original smiling expression disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She nodded and looked around:

"Master Ouyang, where is Dalang? Which box are you in now?"

Ouyang Rong restrained his eyes from looking at a quiet box that still had a "Do Not Disturb" sign on it, and hesitated to speak.

Sensing the subtle atmosphere, Wei Shaoqi took a step back calmly to watch the show.

Before Ouyang Rong could answer, Qin Ying turned back to look at the cool maid, took off a jade ring from her index finger and put it into her hand:

"explain."

The maid in cool clothes was not stupid. She noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the corridor. The jade ring in her hand was like a hot potato. She lowered her head and said weakly:
"Little lady, then... that distinguished guest should have left... he left long ago... He and this young master only drink serious tea. No, no, the slave said that we only have serious tea here. They are all serious, Yu. People... too, don’t get me wrong, little lady.”

Ouyang Rong nodded quickly and responded:

"Yes, Dalang left. Actually, I wanted to try a new tea ceremony, so I invited Dalang to come. He came with me, and then left early to avoid suspicion."

Qin Ying seemed to have not heard anything. She was silent for a while and said softly:
"When he left in the morning, he said that he would go back to the palace's study to study seriously. He also said that he should be positive and learn more from Mr. Ouyang, which reassured me."

"Da Lang..." Ouyang Rong secretly thought something was wrong.

Before he could explain, Qin Ying turned around and left.

When passing by Wei Shaoqi, she said calmly:
"The morning after tomorrow, I went out to the city for autumn hunting. At three o'clock in the morning, I was waiting for you at the west city gate. If you are late, I will not wait."

"Good good."

The surprise came too suddenly, and Wei Shaoqi nodded hurriedly.

Qin Ying went downstairs and left without any delay.

Wei Shaoqi reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and then looked at Ouyang Rong with strange eyes. He still didn't understand what happened.

"Mr. Ouyang, is this friend you are talking about you?"

Ouyang Rong frowned and looked in the direction Qin Ying left without answering.

Wei Shaoqi smiled brightly, showed extremely grateful eyes, rubbed his hands and said: "Okay, I just heard that the tea here is not serious. Hey, I didn't expect that the gentleman Ouyang would come here with his friends. Why? I can't hold it in anymore, look at how I just hurt the beauty...

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. Where is your friend? I really want to invite you to drink tea now. Go ahead and drink. No matter how ungrateful you are, I will reward you. Hahahaha."

Ouyang Rong didn't want to pay attention to someone, walked quickly to the private room, knocked on the door, and said anxiously:

"Da Lang? Are you still here? Come out quickly. Stop drinking. Are you dressed neatly? Get dressed quickly. I'm going in!"

"What's wrong, Tan Lang?" Li Dalang's confused voice came from the box.

Wei Shaoqi, who was originally complacent, was stunned and looked sharply at the door of the ground-sized box.

"Qiniang?!"

His expression suddenly changed, he pushed Ouyang Rong away and hurriedly rushed into the door.

"What Qiniang?"

Ouyang Rong frowned even more and followed in.

What kind of messy relationship do you have?
