59.12.2

Zhu Quan was originally a servant of the Wei family. Wei Yan began to serve his daily life since he was a child. After Wei Yan married his wife at the age of 17, he also followed him. A year later, Wei Yan lost his wife and did not marry again.

In terms of military management and border affairs, Wei Yan undoubtedly had a good attitude to govern the army, and the border affairs were clean and sanctioned, and there was nothing to blame. But after being single, he began to live a debauchery private life, and was quite relaxed in men and women, and the women around him were even more like a lantern. He stayed in Yuyang for not many years, just like a rootless duckweed. Mrs. Xu was concerned and sometimes called Zhu Quan to ask about Wei Yan. After Zhu Quan came back, he would occasionally advise Wei Yan to marry him so that he could settle down.

Wei Yan is usually not annoyed and just laughs it off.

This time Wei Yan set off and went to Dai County again. He left a little hasty, and he sent his concubine away that day. Zhu Quan remembered Wei Yan's time, compared to the past, he seemed a little depressed after returning home, and was also uneasy. He was called away by an old acquaintance and could not push him away. He followed him to a wine shop a few streets away, sat down and drank a few drinks. He noticed that people kept running in one direction on the road outside the restaurant, shouting "fire" in his mouth, and went out to check, and saw the direction he came from a distance. Sure enough, there was a faint light of fire soaring into the sky. He couldn't let go and hurried back. He ran to the street corner and saw from a distance that his house had really caught fire. The fire was quite strong and soaring into the sky.

Zhu Quan was shocked and hurriedly called for people to put out the fire. However, the summer in the north was burning. Although autumn was getting gradually, the weather was still hot. In addition, it had not rained for many days, and the fire had already started to burn again. How could it be suppressed? He could only watch the fire gradually swallow the entire house. Fortunately, Wei Yan was withdrawn. When he chose a house, he did not like to be adjacent to others. There were no houses on both sides of the house, so it did not affect it. When the fire finally became smaller, it was finally put out. The house was already unrecognizable. The roof collapsed and there was only an empty shell. All the utensils and all the items inside were burned out.

Zhu Quan remembered that before he left the door, there was no fire left in the house. He didn't know how the fire burned. The only possibility was that the remaining sparks in the stove were not covered, which spread out and ignited the fire.

Zhu Quan regretted it and blamed himself for not going out to drink and was able to make trouble. While cleaning up the fire, he sent someone to report to Mrs. Xu without mentioning it.

...

When Wei Shao went out early in the morning, he fell in love with Xiao Qiao, and he was reluctant to leave, so he made an appointment to come back for dinner in the evening.

In the evening, Xiao Qiao was in a new bath, changed into a newly-cut primrose-colored light-colored tuft dress with light aroma, and slightly dyed the scented rouge in the mirror.

The person in the mirror had his eyebrows as thin as a tail, his autumn waves lie across his face, his face was like lotus, his color envied the clouds, and even she was happy to see him.

Xiao Qiao began to wait for Wei Shao to come back. It was dark and the meal had already passed, but Wei Shao was not back yet.

Xiao Qiao gradually became a little worried. She thought that the government office was not far away, and was about to send someone to take a look when a soldier from Wei Shao came and passed on a sentence, saying that the king and the lord would not come back for dinner, and told the wife not to wait any longer.

Wei Shao is busy with his daily affairs and has frequent problems. Xiao Qiao does not doubt that he has it, so he went to have dinner first.

Wei Shao was sensitive to cats. Although the cat had not been sent away, Xiao Qiao had taken a shower and did not dare to play with it at night, for fear that it would cause Wei Shao to be uncomfortable if he accidentally got cat hair or cat saliva. After returning to the room, he had no intention of doing anything else. After calming down, he sat down and continued to copy the scriptures.

The room was quiet, and occasionally there was a slight crackling sound from the bursting of the desk lamp.

Xiao Qiao calmed down and held the pen in her right hand. As the tip of the pen was hooked and raised, lines of graceful and elegant words were gradually written on the delicate and white silk surface. When she wrote, "It's like a person fighting in the sea, she can still lose her life after experiencing disasters. If a person is sincere in seeking the Tao, he will never stop diligently, and he will win the fruits. Why not be able to do it?", she stared at the lines of words with her eyes, slowly stopped the pen, and finally put the pen on the shelf, holding her chin to the candlelight on the desk, gradually showing her spirit.

Wei Shao undoubtedly likes her. Recently, she has even gradually made her feel obsessed. As for whether he likes, or is her face or her, to be honest, Xiao Qiao doesn't know. Because the two are together, even during the day, Wei Shao does the most to her, that is, fiddling with her and doing things like men and women with her.

In addition, Xiao Qiao couldn't think of it, and there were other conversations between the two.

Sometimes when the love is deep, she actually wants to ask, but she has no confidence to ask. She has no confidence to test: One day, will he let the Qiao family go?

Xiao Qiao knew that this idea was both childish and ridiculous. I hope that a man would let go of the hatred in his heart because of a woman. How great is this woman to be able to resolve the hatred that was originally regarded as irreconcilable in a man’s heart?

Perhaps only Buddha has such a powerful power to save all living beings.

"The mind always relies on the way to save the world. It is free and at will in all things."

She remembered that when she copied the scriptures a few days ago, there was another sentence in the scriptures.

She is just an ordinary person, and she doesn't know what to do to save the world in her heart, but she always reminds herself that her mind always has the way to save herself and can save herself. If she can, it may not be too late to think about her lifelong affairs with this man.

...

Wei Shao has not returned yet.

Late at night, Xiao Qiao kept the lights in the room and went to bed first.

Wei Shao was a little worried about her heart, and she woke up and slept. It was already midnight. She dreamed of Da Qiao and Bishe.

The dream was scattered. She woke up and opened her eyes, but suddenly she met a pair of eyes that were shining with a faint light.

Wei Shao had already returned to the room at some point, and did not make any noise, and did not go to bed. He stood in front of the bed, as if he had been staring at him like this just now.

Xiao Qiao was startled, patted her chest gently, took a breath, crawled up from the pillow, and complained in a delicate voice: "Do you want to scare me to death? There is no sound when you come back."

Wei Shao withdrew his gaze from her, turned around, began to take off his clothes, and said, "I didn't wake up when I saw you fell asleep. Please go to bed."

He took off his clothes and went to the bathroom. After a moment, he came out. Xiao Qiao asked him if he was hungry, and he said he was not hungry. Then he blew the light and went to bed and lay down.

When he turned around just now, Xiao Qiao actually noticed that his expression was a little strange. He was completely different from before leaving the door in the morning.

Now that he was like this, Xiao Qiao felt even more strange. She lay side by side with him for a while, but she didn't see him hugging him. She just lay on her back, as if she had fallen asleep. She was so abnormal that she finally couldn't help asking: "What happened to the government office today? She couldn't come back to have supper."

"A small matter is just tedious, so it takes some diligence." Wei Shao responded.

Xiao Qiao heard his voice seemed to be a little tired and worried. He hesitated for a while, leaned towards him a little, and asked softly: "What's wrong with you? I feel that you don't seem to be very happy. It's not like this when you go out in the morning."

"No." Wei Shao said, "It's just that there are too many things today, and I'm a little tired now. It's getting late, so you go to bed earlier."

Xiao Qiao heard it and seemed that he was not willing to say more to him at this moment, so he fell silent.

That night, Xiao Qiao had some thoughts and slept very lightly. Wei Shao was still motionless, not like before, and he had to reach out to touch and hug her in his sleep. I don’t know if he was sleeping too heavily or what. He had nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the two got up. Xiao Qiao felt a little unhappy. Looking at Wei Shao, his face seemed not good. The two packed up and went out to Mrs. Xu’s place. When they walked down the steps, the cat, who was temporarily still in Chunniang’s room, ran over the corridor, ran to Xiao Qiao’s feet, got into her skirt, rubbed around, and meowed softly.

Wei Shao stopped.

When Xiao Qiao saw his eyes staring at the cat, she seemed to remember something, and her expression showed a little stiffness. She suspected that he was allergic to the last time and felt disgusted with the cat.

But this disgust was just like the silence he had when he returned to the room last night, and it was a little innocent, making her unable to touch her head.

I didn't see him like this two days ago.

Xiao Qiao hurriedly hugged the cat and handed it to a maid who caught up with her, telling her to take good care of it.

Wei Shao had already raised his foot and went forward. Xiao Qiao followed him. The two of them arrived at the north house together.

Today is the fifteenth day. Zhu also came. He arrived earlier than Wei Shao and Xiao Qiao. He asked Mrs. Xu about her well and was about to leave, but when she saw that her son was coming, she stopped again.

After entering the north room, Wei Shao finally changed the silence he had started after coming back last night, and seemed normal. When he responded to Mrs. Xu, he smiled on his face. He kowtowed to Mrs. Xu and talked for a few words. Mrs. Xu said, "You don't know yet. Your cousin's house fell into flames last night. Zhu Quan said it was burned all over. Fortunately, it did not hurt anyone's life and did not affect the neighboring house. He came back in the past two days and asked him to live in his house. I was unhappy that he moved out. If this happened, he happened to ask him to come back."

Xiao Qiao felt a little surprised. She glanced at Wei Shao beside him. He had no expression on his face. His eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

However, when Zhu heard that Wei Yan was about to come back, he showed disgust on his face. Although he was trying his best to cover it, he could not hide it in the bottom of his eyebrows and eyes.

Mrs. Xu glanced at her coldly. She was a little embarrassed and lowered her head.

This scene fell into Xiao Qiao's eyes. Xiao Qiao was also a little touched.

I have been with Zhu, the mother-in-law for so long and have had many dealings with him. In fact, I have somehow touched Zhu's temperament.

A person's vision and mentality have a lot to do with his background and the education he can get when he was young because of his background. But this is not inevitable. If you have an open mind, the narrow vision caused by lack of background education will gradually open up with later experience. When a certain period of accumulation, people will inevitably be transformed.

Unfortunately, Zhu is not like this. Even now, she seems to have not found the identity of her husband's wife.

Of course, Xiao Qiao was not qualified to pity her. She did not hate this mother-in-law to the point of being deeply disgusted with her.

I just don't like her.

"The Deli Conference will be in two days. I heard that your brother is going to participate in riding and shooting?"

Mrs. Xu turned to Xiao Qiao, looking very excited.

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "I didn't expect that he would be in the limelight. It is rare to encounter such a grand event, and young people will inevitably yearn for it. Therefore, I didn't stop him."

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Why do you need to stop me? Young people should be competitive. Only by being competitive can they win. I will go to the meeting in person in previous years. This year, you should show your face when you first come to my house. Then go with me."

Xiao Qiao bowed to thank Zhu's eyes.

"By the way, does your brother-in-law have a satisfying mount?" Before saying goodbye, Mrs. Xu thought about it and asked Wei Shao again, "If you don't, choose a good one for him and practice while there are still two days left."

"Report to grandmother, my cousin has given him a green horse before."

Wei Shao responded to the tone.

Mrs. Xu was relieved and nodded and smiled, "I knew he was careful in his work. You were not here for the first two days of your brother-in-law coming, and he was still receiving it for you. When everyone has been busy these days, you have to thank your elder brother."

Wei Shao smiled slightly.
