Interstellar female dressed as country dude

Because of his low mood, Xie Ling didn't go to the jewelry store for a few days.

The ranking list in Beijing has been released, Wei Qiong should have been conferred an official position, and his marriage with Miss Wen's family should also be finalized.

Thinking of this, Xie Ling couldn't help feeling sad.

He and Wei Qiong have only known each other for a few months, but once they fall in love, they yearn for him all the time and can't let go.

If Wei Qiong was someone of that kind of power, after making an appointment with the Wen family, he would stop talking to him, and Xie Ling should forget about it after a few days of sadness.

The bad thing is that Wei Qiong is not that kind of villain, but a real gentleman.And she is willing to put down all her fame and fame to ask to marry herself...

After Xie Ling thought about it, although he refused at the moment, it was unforgettable after all. Whenever he was free, the events of that day would come to mind.

He felt that if Wei Qiong really gave up his fame, he would regret it in the future.But when he really rejected the other party, Xie Ling realized that he would think every day, if he was braver that day, so what?

The other party hasn't regretted it yet, but Xie Ling himself has already regretted it...

Xie Ling found the white rabbit comb from the jewelry box.The rabbit is chubby, the hair is rooted out, and it is also very cute.

"Du Du—" There were several knocks on the door, and Xie Ling hurriedly inserted the comb into his head.

After asking who it was, a maid said outside: "Master Ling, Mr. You is outside the courtyard, and he said he wanted to invite you out for a walk."

It was only then that Xie Ling remembered that the Young Master You brought back by Xie Huaiyu, although he hadn't made it clear, but he must have been intentionally matched with him.

I heard that Young Master You is only the second son of a merchant family.But it is not a bad thing to have the fame of the top two.

Although Xie Ling was in a bad mood, he was unwilling to take away his brother's kindness.

He asked the servant girl to invite Young Master You into the courtyard, and asked him to wait in the courtyard for a while, then change his clothes before going out.

Just to look at each other, Xie Ling chose a more formal shirt.

It wasn't too luxurious, but it was also very delicate. A piece of lush bluegrass was embroidered from the hem of the clothes to the top, and there were white rabbit fluff trims on the shoulder seams and neckline.

After Xie Ling put it on, it made his face look pink and snowy and cute, which matched the white rabbit comb on his head very well.

He opened the door and walked out, and saw the eyes of the tall man sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard lit up, and his gaze deepened a bit.

"Young Master You." Xie Ling nodded politely to You Zheng, and smiled slightly, showing a hint of coquettishness.

You Zheng's ears turned red slightly, and he bowed to Xie Ling very politely: "Brother Xie, you came here to bother me, I hope you don't dislike it."

"Of course I won't dislike it." Xie Ling said with a smile.

You Zheng has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks Zhou Zheng honestly.Although he is not as natural and personable as the children of those aristocratic families, he also seems to be a down-to-earth person. It is no wonder that his brother is so optimistic about him.

After Xie Ling finished speaking, he took two steps forward, while You Zheng blushed, but took a step back.With a distance of two feet from Xie Ling, he stood still and said, "Brother Xie, please take a step first."

Xie Ling was stunned for a moment, although he felt a little weird in his heart, but seeing You Zheng didn't mean anything malicious, it was just a bit too polite, so he smiled and walked out of the courtyard one step ahead of him.

After Xie Ling left, You Zheng followed behind him, and always kept a distance of two feet. If Xie Ling paused and slowed down a little, he would immediately stop and adjust his pace, keeping this distance unchanged.

You Zheng's move was extremely polite, but Xie Ling always felt a little weird, and he also felt a little uncomfortable.

Let's talk about You Zheng, but a child of a merchant family, even though he won the title of the top two for a while and had the opportunity to face the saint, he still feels like a dream and unreal in his heart.

He had spoken a few words with Xie Huaiyu in the school, but they had their own circle of elites in Beijing, and there was a gap between them and hard-educated people like him.

After he gained fame, Xie Huaiyu suddenly invited him to Xie's house, saying that he wanted to ask him about his homework, but You Zheng originally planned to decline.

But after he told his elder brother at home, he forced him to come over, saying that it was such a great opportunity, Mr. Xie had taken a fancy to his talent and learning, which would be of great benefit to his future official career, so he bit the bullet and followed.

Unexpectedly, after arriving, Xie Huaiyu did not really ask him for any homework, but introduced his younger brother to him.

You Zheng is not an idiot either, he naturally sees that Xie Huaiyu intends to match him and his younger brother.

You Zheng didn't say anything about marriage, and he didn't reject this brother, so he took the initiative to come here today and invite the Xie family's brother to go out.

When You Zheng saw Xie Ling yesterday, it was already dusk.Under the candlelight, the other party was dressed very plainly, and he only felt a little delicate from a distance, but he didn't see it very clearly.

This morning, when I saw Xie Ling again, I realized that he had a beautiful appearance, exquisite clothes, and a family atmosphere in his conversation, which was very different from the commoner women and brothers he had usually seen.

You Zheng was very nervous for a moment, he only felt that the other party was worthy of being a famous family in Beijing, and he was not the same as a person of humble origin like himself.

When getting along with Xie Ling, he was even more restrained, not even daring to get close to him.

Xie Ling and You Zheng stood together, the two had just met, and they didn't know what to say, so they were silent all the way.

It wasn't until they got into the carriage and were alone in a room that the distance was forced to get closer.

"I……"

"I……"

Just as You Zheng was about to speak, Xie Ling happened to speak at the same time.As soon as his face became hot, he stopped talking, Xie Ling smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know where I'm going today, so let Young Master You tell the story."

You Zheng originally wanted to take Xie Ling to the commercial street to see his family's business and show off his family's financial resources.But at this moment, he feels that Xie Ling's temperament must be extraordinary when he sees it, and the little property in his family can't be put on the table.

So he faltered and said: "Brother Xie is the one to say, go wherever you want to go, and you don't know where brother Xie wants to go."

Xie Ling: "..."

Originally it was Young Master You who invited him to go out, but now he is asked to find a place by himself, it really gave him a headache.

But seeing that You Zheng was really restrained, Xie Ling thought for a while and said: "Then let's go to the central commercial street. I haven't been there for a long time, and it just happens to be very lively." Come back after a meal.

You Zheng breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and asked the driver to drive to the commercial street.

But after that, he didn't dare to speak to Xie Ling again, and the two of them were relatively silent all the way.

Xie Ling was also a little depressed and felt extremely embarrassed.

This Young Master You is not bad, it's just that we can't get along with him all the time, and he is extremely restrained, making getting along with him embarrassing.

He couldn't help sighing, opened the curtains of the carriage, looked out the window, and looked at the scenery on the side of the road to relieve the embarrassment in his heart.

When You Zheng heard him sigh, he secretly looked at Xie Ling from time to time, guessing the expression on his face.Seeing that he seemed to frown slightly, he felt uneasy, and feared that he would not entertain him well and offend the other party.

For a while, the journey became extremely long, and both of them felt like sitting on the tip of a needle.

When the carriage drove near the Yamen in Beijing, Xie Ling saw a list from a distance.

He raised his eyebrows, a thought welling up in his heart.

At this time, being seen by You Zheng, he seemed to have found confidence, and suddenly said: "That is the list of this year's Qiu Wei, and the list of the top three officials in Chun Wei."

Seeing Xie Ling nod his head and keep looking there, as if he was interested in the list, You Zheng suddenly called out: "Stop."

The carriage stopped near the list, and You Zheng said to Xie Ling: "If Brother Xie is interested, you can go down and have a look for yourself."

You Zheng's whole body is up and down, and this fame is the most attainable. At this time, he feels that he has an opportunity to show himself, so he naturally doesn't want to let it go.

For some reason, Xie Ling didn't want to get out of the car.But when he saw You Zheng puffed out his chest, he seemed to be somewhat honored, so he couldn't just refuse and pour cold water on him.

He reluctantly hooked the corner of his mouth and said: "Then go down and have a look."

He followed You Zheng down, and the list was posted for a long time, and there was no one in front of him at this time.

You Zheng pointed to one of the cards and said, "I'm just above the top two. I thought I had learned well, but there are still three top ones. It's really amazing."

As You Zheng said this, he turned his head to look at Xie Ling, but saw that his gaze didn't follow him at all, but drifted to the other side of the list of officials.

Xie Ling originally didn't want to look at it, but as if he couldn't control his eyes, he ran over by himself.

Originally, he just wanted to glance at it, but he read several lines without paying attention, but he didn't find the name he was thinking of on the list in Jingzhong.

Before seeing Wei Qiong's name, Xie Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't care less about the other things. He looked at the list intently and vowed to find Wei Qiong's name in it.

It's just that he read all the names of officials in Beijing, but he couldn't find Wei Qiong. Finally, he saw Wei Qiong's name in the release list in a corner. place.

With the status of Marquis Wei and Lord Wen in Beijing, even if Wei Qiong couldn't get into those good departments, how could he not even be a Beijing official, so he had to go to remote places like Nansha.

Xie Ling thought that when Wei Qiong came looking for him, he had said that he was willing to give up his fame for him. Could it be that this land of Nansha was intentional...

His heart was pounding, and he was as anxious as a rabbit.On the one hand, he felt that this was impossible, and he obviously rejected Wei Qiong.

On the one hand, he felt that maybe it was because of his own reasons, otherwise Wei Qiong would not even be an official in the capital, but was put in the land of Nansha.

Seeing the change in Xie Ling's expression, You Zheng felt a little sad.After a long time, he asked, "Brother Xie, but whose name are you looking for? If you don't give up, You can look for it for you."

Xie Ling came to his senses at this moment, shook his head and said, "I was dazed when I saw the name of an acquaintance. I'm really sorry. Mr. You is the top [-] in high school, and his literary talents are really extraordinary. Congratulations."

After all, the two got into the carriage again, and the carriage drove out for a while, Xie Ling couldn't help but asked: "Young Master You, I look at those officials in Chunwei, most of them are seventh-rank and subordinate seventh-rank officials. , how come there are still five ranks in it?"

You Zhengcai said: "Brother Xie is talking about Wei Qiong, the third son of the Wei family, right? Before he heard that he was appointed an official, he asked himself to go to the northern border, saying that he would do his best for Da Xuan. But by accident, he was assigned to Nansha. The emperor rewarded him very much for this kind of behavior, and promoted him to the official position of the fifth rank, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."

Please leave Beijing... Xie Ling was stunned when he heard this, and clenched his numb fingertips slightly.

It was late autumn at this time, and the air was quite chilly, but there was a warm current flowing from Xie Ling's body, rushing up to the tip of his nose, until his eyes were sore and swollen, and something was about to overflow from them.

After that, when You Zheng said anything to him again, they were all in a daze and absent minded.

When the carriage arrived near the commercial street, it found a place and stopped.

Xie Ling and You Zheng were walking on the street, separated by two feet, neither of them spoke, and each was thinking about something.

After walking for a while, Xie Ling stopped in front of a wedding shop, and stared into it in a daze.

You Zheng blushed and said, "Brother Xie, do you want to go in for a stroll?"

Xie Ling shook his head first, then nodded, but stepped into it.

It turned out that from a distance, he saw Wen Xiu'e, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, inside, bringing two maids to choose the dowry.

Xie Ling felt sore, he should have left, but couldn't help but went in again, wanting to see what the Wen family's dowry would be like.

Wen Xiu'e was choosing the dowry with the maid, so she didn't notice Xie Ling, she frowned and looked at the dowry list given to him by the shopkeeper and said: "It's really not worth it for so much money, but only this little dowry When I got married, I couldn't compare to that brother Bai and Qi Qingwan, if I couldn't even compare to Wei Ling, wouldn't I be ashamed of myself?"

The maid said from the side: "Miss, don't panic, you are the eldest daughter of the Wen family, so the dowry is naturally not bad. This family doesn't have one, we just go to another house to choose."

Wen Xiu'e's face was a little bit embarrassed: "It's just that only his family has this colorful phoenix head crown, but other houses don't have it. I don't know if I wear this crown."

Another servant girl joked, "Miss is like a fish and a wild goose, how you dress up, Master Biao will definitely like it very much."

When Xie Ling heard the words "Master Biao", he opened his eyes wide and tried to remember, but he didn't know when the Wen family had such a relationship with the Wei family.

He couldn't bear it anymore, so he took a step forward and said, "Sister Wen, it's a coincidence that I met you here. Are you picking a dowry?"

It was the first time for Xie Ling to do such a cheeky thing, and after he finished speaking, his face was a little hot.

Wen Xiu'e paused, as if recalling who the brother in front of her was, and said after a while, "So it's brother Xie, what a coincidence, you're also here to choose the dowry?" You Zheng."

After reading it, Wen Xiu'e felt a little complacent.I thought Xie Huaiyu would choose some kind of talent for his younger brother, but it turned out that he was just a poor Jinshi.

Looking at the person behind Xie Ling, his clothes were not conspicuous, and his demeanor was not from a wealthy family, he was still far worse than his cousin.

"Sister Wen is such a character like a banished fairy, I don't know which family's son-in-law is lucky enough to have you." Xie Ling asked.

Wen Xiu'e smiled coquettishly and said: "Brother Xie is too famous, but he is my natal cousin, the eldest son of the Chen family. A few days ago, just after Qiu Wei, I came to propose marriage, and my mother agreed."

Xie Ling was stunned. How could he become the cousin of the Chen family? He couldn't help asking: "What about the third son of Wei?"

"Young Master Wei, don't talk nonsense." The two maids beside Wen Xiu'e said quickly.

Only then did Wen Xiu'e raise her eyebrows, looked Xie Ling up and down, curled her lips and said, "Brother Xie doesn't know yet, right? The third son of Wei is going to be sent to Nansha now. Even the emperor appreciates it very much." , All of a sudden, he was awarded a high-ranking official of the fifth rank. Such a status, we ordinary women in Beijing can't afford it."

After all, Wen Xiu'e blessed her body, said a few words and left, and left with two maids.

Xie Ling didn't come back to his senses for a long time. After a long time, he didn't react until You Zheng called him.

He forced a smile, but his heart was overwhelmed. He didn't expect Wei Qiong and Wen Xiu'e's marriage to be abandoned.

"Brother Xie, what do you want to buy?" You Zheng asked.

Only then did Xie Ling say: "I saw someone I know well, let's talk for a while, but I don't really want to buy anything, let's go out."

He and You Zheng went out, strolled all the way, passed many shops, and went straight to the gate of Laifulou, Xie Ling stopped and said: "Let's go in and have dinner before going back."

His heart was in a mess, but he seemed to be a little bit clearer, and he secretly made up his mind that he didn't want to entangle with You Zheng any more.

It was noon at this time, and there was a lot of people in Laifu Building, and the ground floor and the second floor were already full.

When the shopkeeper saw Xie Ling, he personally led him to the third floor and sorted out a wing room with an excellent location for him.

In the Lai Fu Building in the middle of Beijing, the third floor is full of well-furnished wing rooms, and the price is very expensive.

On weekdays, there are not many people dining on the third floor, and there are many vacancies.

But recently, the list just happened to be released, and the students who had just passed the autumn and the Jinshi who had just been conferred came here to celebrate, and this wing was also very tight, and almost all of them were full.

As Xie Ling and You Zheng walked forward, they heard bursts of noise coming from the side room, most likely because of the students gathering together, drinking and celebrating.

This time, You Zheng is the number one in the top two, but there are many people who know him well.

When passing by those rooms, he was stopped by someone and exchanged greetings with him.

Xie Ling didn't say a word at this time, but just waited silently, watching You Zheng and the students congratulate each other.

After You Zheng passed by a few more rooms and was stopped several times, Xie Ling said to him: "Why don't I go to that room to order some food first, and come back after you have finished greeting your classmates."

You Zheng blushed, feeling that he was very rude.

It's just that among students, the love between classmates also affects official careers, and it will be a boost on the road to officialdom in the future, and it is also extremely important.

For a moment, You Zheng didn't know what to do.

The student next to him held the wine glass and said, "Thank you, my brother, for making it happen. Brother You has won the leader, so why not drink it? I will borrow it from him today and let him accompany us for a few drinks." cup!"

That student drank a lot and was already a little drunk, so he naturally spoke without any scruples.

Xie Ling was not angry either, and only smiled slightly: "Of course, you don't have to be restrained, you can do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, he followed the shopkeeper and went to his own wing.

After he left, the half-drunk student put his arms around You Zheng's neck and said, "Who was that brother just now? He looks pretty, but it's a pity he's a brother."

Hearing the student's unrestrained speech, You Zheng quickly lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense, that's the first brother of the Xie family, Xie Huaiyu's younger brother, don't let anyone hear that."

The student opened his eyes wide and said: "Xie Huaiyu's younger brother? Yes, Brother You, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful! Come, come, come, come and have a drink with us!"

After finishing speaking, he dragged You Zheng into the wing room, and said loudly: "Brother You, not only won the leader, but also won the appreciation of the Xie family, and brought all the brothers of the Xie family out! Everyone said no!" sharp!"

There are many students in this wing room, so some people said in a hurry: "Tsk tsk, it seems that brother You and Xie's family will get married in the future, the future is limitless, don't forget us!"

"I just took a look at that brother, he looks so beautiful, although he is a brother, but Brother You has such a good fortune, it is still enviable..."

The voices of several people were so loud that their voices spread to the corridor.

Not long after, suddenly there was the sound of a glass being smashed next door, and footsteps came again. After a while, they arrived at this room, and with a bang, their fists slammed on the door, making everyone jump.

A handsome young man in bamboo green clothes stood at the door, frowning and glaring at the people in the banquet, he said: "A group of students, who have also entered the top three, are the pillars of the country, but here they are talking about a brother who is not yet married, and the books are all I read it into the stomach of a dog. My Wei family and Xie family are family friends, if you talk about brother Xie again, don’t blame me for being rude to you!"

"Wei Qiong, forget it, why are you doing this..." another young man came next to him and tugged on his sleeve to persuade him.

At this time, the people in the wing room knew that the young man in front of him was the fool who was appointed a fifth-rank official by the emperor and invited him out of Beijing.

But no matter how stupid he is, he is still a fifth-rank official, with Wei Hou Ye sitting behind him as a shield.Most of the students in this wing are merchants with no background, seeing such a famous and noble family, I still feel a little apprehensive.The unscrupulous person who drank too much wine was also suppressed by them, and he was not allowed to speak too much.

Only then did Wei Qiong look around the room, his gaze stayed on You Zheng for a moment and he asked, "You are You Zheng?"

You Zheng felt a little nervous, stepped forward and said, "Yes."

Wei Qiong narrowed his eyes and said, "You accompanied Xie Ling here?"

You Zheng nodded.

"Then why are you still standing here?" Wei Qiong asked coldly.

You Zheng just put down the wine glass in his hand and escaped from the crowd of students.

He walked towards Xie Ling's wing, and before entering the door, he couldn't help but look back, feeling that Wei Qiong's gaze fell on him like a knife.

After he walked into the wing room, Xie Ling was sitting by the window, then looked up at him and said, "Have you drank?"

You Zheng nodded, and sat down opposite Xie Ling somewhat resentfully.

Xiao Er, who was waiting on the side, brought up many dishes at this time, filling the entire table one by one.

You Zheng hurriedly apologized to Xie Ling: "It was really inappropriate for me to leave you alone just now."

Xie Ling smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't mind."

Now he has no other intentions towards You Zheng, Xie Ling naturally doesn't care what the other party does.

You Zheng also smiled when he heard the words, but he didn't feel a little relaxed in his heart.

The two of them sat together and ate their meal in silence, which made You Zheng feel a little overwhelmed.

After they had eaten for a while, Xie Ling raised his eyebrows suddenly, and saw a familiar figure among the crowd downstairs.

That person was dressed in a bamboo green robe, walked out of the Laifulu building, looked up for a long time, and didn't know where his eyes fell...

From Xie Ling's point of view, the downstairs can be clearly seen, but the people downstairs cannot see the upstairs.

Xie Ling felt sour in his heart, feeling that he had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a long time.Xu Shi's marriage was frustrated, which added a trace of fatigue to his brows and eyes.

The person next to Wei Qiong patted him on the shoulder and said something to him before turning around and leaving.

The two of them boarded a carriage together, and flew away like a flying dust... never to be seen again...

Xie Ling felt a blank in his heart, and being caught by You Zheng, he suddenly asked, "Brother Xie is looking at Mr. Wei?"

When Xie Ling was asked out of the blue, his face turned red.Just about to deny it, but felt that there was nothing to hide, so he paused and said: "It is indeed."

"Brother Xie just now asked my Mr. Wei a lot of things on the sidelines, and in that happy shop, he also went to ask about Mr. Wei." You Zheng said with a wry smile: "It's also a coincidence, just now I was arrested to drink During the dinner, someone made a joke about Brother Xie, and this Mr. Wei came over, lost his temper, and rescued me."

Seeing that Xie Ling was stunned, You Zheng went on to say: "The affection between Brother Xie and Mr. Wei makes You very envious. I don't know if Mr. Xie called me home, is it unnecessary?"

Xie Ling was ashamed by what was said, bowed his head and said: "I am really sorry for Mr. You, it is all my fault, I hope Mr. You will not mind."

After hearing the words, You Zheng said: "You don't mind, but I hope Brother Xie can get what he wants, and don't hinder his marriage because of You."

Hearing this, Xie Ling knew that this You Zheng was no longer possible with him.

It's just that instead of being sad, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I also hope that Mr. You will have a good marriage."

After the two talked like this, the awkward atmosphere in the air became less.

You Zheng also relaxed a lot, and was no longer as nervous as before.

During the dinner, Xie Ling and You Zheng discussed the new food in Lai Fu Lou, and it was quite pleasant.

After the two returned to Xie's house, You Zheng went to Xie Huaiyu to ask for resignation, saying that he was not talented enough to take on the heavy responsibility of teaching Mr. Xie, so it was better to leave first.

Xie Huaiyu had no choice but to send You Zheng away, feeling extremely depressed.

Just about to ask Xie Ling to come over for a question, but seeing him come over on his own initiative, he saluted Xie Huaiyu and Bai Shu and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I have something to tell you..."

The author has something to say: You Zheng is actually pretty good, but he and Brother Xie are not on the same side.
