outside the imperial city

"Qianhan?"

"Brother Shuo?"

Growing up together for more than ten years, the two recognized each other at first sight.The next second, the two said in unison: "Why are you here?"

"Well, it's hard for me to explain. Anyway, it just happened to be here at this time." Jing Shuo first got up from the ground, then grabbed Bei Qianhan's arm and pulled her up, taking advantage of the situation to hug her into the arms.

"Oh my God," Jing Junxi shouted, "Father, how could you do this! Mess with women! Be ungrateful! Betray mother!"

Bei Qianhan raised her head from Jing Yushuo's arms: "Father? Mother? God, when did you get married? The children are already this old?"

Jing Shuo gritted his teeth: "Jing Junxi, get out of here!"

"Yes, yes, yes," Jing Junxi was afraid that he would really get angry, so he quickly lowered his head and climbed down from his horseback, "Master, you are the biggest, and you can do whatever you say. If you want to abandon my mistress, then you will abandon my mistress. I'm sad and I won't say anything, as long as you are happy."

He is too small to land directly.But Juechen seemed to have the same mind with him, seeing that he was about to come down, he immediately stretched out the horse's head to pick him up.

"Jing, Jun, Xi, are you tired of living?" Jing Shuo said every word clearly, which was an ultimatum to Jing Junxi.Jing Junxi really didn't dare to do it again, and obediently led the horse's head and stood aside.

Why is this guy so similar to Yao Fanglan in terms of cheap talk?

"Brother Lisuo, what did he say?" Bei Qianhan was really anxious, and tugged on Jingsuo's sleeve, "Since when did you have an apprentice? Is it an apprentice or a son? And... teacher's wife? Are you married? "

Jing Lingshuo couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not a son, but a cheap apprentice picked up. Don't listen to his nonsense if he isn't married. This kid deliberately embarrasses me."

Seeing the disbelief on Bei Qianhan's face, he coughed dryly and said, "Why are you here? Where's Chu Jingqing?"

Unexpectedly, this question asked about Bei Qianhan's pain, and Bei Qianhan threw herself into Jing Yushuo's arms with a "wow" and burst into tears.

"Brother, you have to decide for me! I was abandoned by others!"

Jing Junxi watched from the side and shook his head.Sure enough, the biggest vixen in the world is the younger sister.

"Speaking of it." Yao Fanglan put down her teacup and stared at Chu Jingqing closely, "I suddenly remembered a very important thing."

Chu Jingqing felt guilty after being stared at by him: "What, what?"

"When did my portrait come here? Can you let me see it?" Yao Fanglan said seriously, "Did you paint me ugly?"

"..."

"Yao Fanglan," Chu Jingqing said, "you are really becoming more and more ghostly. Just like you, you can be recognized enough with a white dress, so why use a portrait?"

"Ha, thank you, thank you." Yao Zanglan took out a folding fan, opened it in a serious manner, and fanned it.

"'Caution'? I remember, that one used to have a folding fan with 'Jin Yan' written on it, right? But she has changed it now." Chu Jingqing showed a little nostalgic look, "It's been a long time since I saw you. You can't imitate his bearing."

Hearing this, Yao Fanglan snapped the folding fan together and put it in front of Chu Jingqing: "I've given it to you."

"Why are you so gentle all of a sudden? It's disgusting." Chu Jingqing held the folding fan in her hand, "But thank you very much, I'll accept it."

"The portrait?"

Seeing that he straightened his sitting posture and his expression became serious, Chu Jingqing then took out the portrait that was torn off on the street from her bosom and put it in front of him.

This portrait is so vivid that no master can do it.At first glance, the nobleman spent a lot of money and specially invited the master to draw it.

"It's her again?" Chu Jingqing asked after watching him set fire to the portrait.

Yao Fanglan said "Yes", but her expression hardly changed: "It's really amazing to think of sending my portrait to Huatu."

"By the way, were you wary of what I asked just now?" Yao Fanglan burned the portrait, but still didn't mean to make fun of it, "Where's Bei Qianhan? Ye Chengwei told me that she left Jingyang with you, why don't you together?"

If Yao Fanglan still kept that frivolous tone, Chu Jingqing could make jokes to get around the topic, or make a few jokes to fight back, but Yao Fanglan still maintains such a solemn expression, which shows that he believes that the matter is not trivial and does not ask clearly Never give up.

This man is especially scary when he is serious.

Chu Jingqing knocked on the table and called the shop waiter: "Bring me any jar of wine, the stronger the better."

"Drink strong wine during the day," Yao Fanglan said, "Chu Jingqing, you really are getting better and better as you grow older. Forget it, I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman this time."

Chu Jingqing's eyes widened: "You, you drink? God, the ancestors of the Yao family might kill me if they find out."

"Hey, Chu Jingqing, don't be so cheap and act good." As soon as the wine was served, Yao Fanglan poured himself a glass first, "Yao's family training, just this one, I broke the precept a long time ago."

After drinking a cup, my stomach is hot, but I feel light all over: "The day I first arrived at Prince Li's Mansion, Qianling bought me a jar of Autumn Dew White. It's delicious, it's the best thing I've ever drunk in my life. It's a pity , not strong enough."

"You have been drinking since you were eight years old." Chu Jingqing also drank a cup, "You are really good. You can't be judged by appearances."

"However, when it comes to drinking, the most drinkable drink in the world today is Jinyuan King Jing Shuo." Yao Zanglan poured another glass, "If you don't get drunk after a thousand glasses, you will only wake up when everyone is drunk. However, that is also a kind of sadness."

If you don't get drunk, you don't return. If you don't get drunk, how can you get rid of your worries, and how can you return?

"Forget it, let's not talk about him." Yao Fanglan said, "The ancients said that 'alcohol pours into sorrow and turns into tears of lovesickness', so, who are you thinking about now?"

Chu Jingqing smiled wryly, and drank another glass of wine: "You can see it."

Yao Fanglan teased inappropriately: "I didn't see it. Just now, it's a cliché."

Chu Jingqing pretended not to hear: "Tell me, why are people so miraculous? I never believed in love at first sight before, but I never thought that I would fall on it like this. Not only did I lose an arm, I also fell—" —”

"She followed you probably because she likes you." Yao Fanglan said, "You can try."

"No, you don't understand." Chu Jingqing drank another glass of wine, "No matter what the reason why she followed me now, I will not feel good. What can I give her who has lost an arm? She She is a princess of one dynasty, she should have a better future, just like Princess Jingyang marrying King Jinyuan, find someone of the right family."

He pressed the broken arm painfully: "If my arms were intact, with my temperament, I would definitely give it a try, but now I can't even protect her."

Yao Fanglan drank the second glass of wine: "Jing Qing, I'm sorry for you."

Chu Jingqing drank many cups in a row, and gradually became drunk: "It's not your fault. In fact, I want to thank you, Jian Lan. If it weren't for you, I might never meet her in this life. I am willing to do it for her." Give everything, even my life, what about an arm? I am willing to watch her silently in the dark and love her for the rest of my life, but I don’t want her to suffer with me.”

"You're right." Yao Fanglan had never seen Chu Jingqing like this.In his impression, this person has always been unrestrained and unrestrained like a catkin in the sky, and has always been at ease with the situation.I didn't expect him to have such a thoughtful and painful expression.

"I don't understand. I don't understand how you can fall in love with me only once. Besides, isn't the so-called love the hope that two people can stay together forever? How can you be so longing for distance people?"

"Oh, when you fall in love with someone, or someone falls in love with you, you will understand." Chu Jingqing said, suddenly remembering the figure hiding silently watching, and said with a smile, "Maybe, there is already one now." Well. But it's kind of unreasonable."

"What?" It's not that Yao Fanglan didn't hear clearly, but he couldn't understand the meaning of his words.

"It's nothing." Chu Jingqing changed her posture and lay down on the table.

Yao Fanglan only thought that he was drunk and talking nonsense, and said, "But, in my opinion, you are very selfish."

"Am I selfish?" Chu Jingqing said, "Where am I being selfish? This uncle is reluctant to give up his love. How can I be selfish? I should be the most selfless person in the world, okay?"

"You never thought about it," Yao Fanglan said slowly, "If Bei Qianhan also likes you, how much pain will your actions bring to her? If she likes you, marrying someone else is such a wonderful thing future?"

"You—" Chu Jingqing concluded.Yao Fanglan's words made people unable to refute.

"Her, it's impossible." Chu Jingqing raised the wine glass high and poured all the wine in the glass into her mouth at once.

"How do you know that she can't?"

"Do you think she's a fool like me?" Chu Jingqing sneered, not knowing whether she was taunting herself or Yao Fanglan, "Will the princess fall in love with a street hooligan like me?"

Yao Fanglan moved closer, lowered her voice and said, "Look at it, in the final analysis, what annoys you is actually because you think she followed you because of guilt, not because she likes you, right?"

bump--

Chu Jingqing slammed a fist on the table, and Yao Fanglan retreated a few inches.

"It's dangerous." Yao Fanglan smiled, "Brother Chu, where did you get so angry?"

"Yao Fanglan, you're ruthless, I can't say no to you." Chu Jingqing said, "But as long as you have a conscience, you should give me advice to keep her away from me, instead of trying to get me close to her."

"Where is she now?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely in Huatu." Chu Jingqing couldn't hold on any longer, her eyelids became tired, "I secretly sent someone to follow her."

There was another "touch", and Chu Jingqing fell asleep on the table.

"Tsk," Yao Fanglan drank another cup, "It's really..."

He stroked his empty sleeves distressedly, carried Chu Jingqing on his shoulders, and sent her to the guest room upstairs.

"Don't worry, I will help you fulfill your wish." Yao Fanglan helped him cover the quilt, "You will be happy, good brother."

He took a deep look at the sleeping Chu Jingqing, and opened the bag.Chu Jingqing deliberately put an ink-colored cloak inside.Yao Zanglan smiled, put on her cloak and valance, and jumped to the window.

"Okay, let me think about it, where will the little princess be at this time?"
