Chapter 769: Do you only like these?

Seeing Yu Yonggui's stunned expression, Qing Shuang thought for a moment and said seriously, "Am I saying this too suddenly? ... Don't worry, I'm not acting on impulse. I've thought about it carefully."

Xing Xing thought silently, Sister Qing Shuang seemed to be in a daze for a while at that time?

It’s not even half an incense stick of time!

This... have you really thought about it seriously?

Xing Xing fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Yu Yonggui was still in a daze, Qing Shuang clenched her palms to cheer herself up.

Yu Yonggui remained silent. She was already feeling a little uneasy, and her already pale skin became even more pale.

"You've been so good to me... When I marry you, I'll be good to you too." Qing Shuang summoned up her last bit of courage.

She thought, if... if she was wrong and Yu Yonggui didn't want to marry her, then she would run far away after helping the princess this time and never appear in front of Yu Yonggui again.

Xingxing was anxious!

Fourth brother, you are usually very smart, why do you act like a fool at the critical moment!

Why don't you say something!

Yu Yonggui seemed to have finally come back to life. His voice was a little dry: "...But I wasn't very good to you."

Qing Shuang was unhappy and frowned, "What have you done to me?"

"I almost killed you."

"You're talking as if I didn't almost kill you." Qing Shuang argued, "We don't owe each other anything. And later I went to your house to recuperate. Not long ago, I was poisoned, and you and the princess saved me."

Yu Yonggui was speechless, staring at Qing Shuang for a long time before asking, "...So you are willing to marry me because of this life-saving grace?"

There was a certain expectation in Yu Yonggui's eyes, as if he was expecting Qing Shuang to say something.

Qing Shuang shook her head: "Of course not."

Yu Yonggui's eyes suddenly burst into thousands of tiny lights.

Qing Shuang placed the ruby ​​​​bu shawl on the table: "And this one. I like this bu shawl very much. And I like those snacks too."

Yu Yonggui couldn't help but ask impulsively: "Do you only like these? ... What about me?"

Qing Shuang was stunned at first, then she understood what Yu Yonggui meant.

Qing Shuang originally wanted to answer Yu Yonggui with a straightforward "I like" just like she had answered Xing Xing before, but she didn't know what happened to her. Looking at Yu Yonggui's face, her face suddenly became hot. Somehow, that frank "I like" seemed to quickly burn in her chest, almost burning her whole body.

She just felt her whole body was burning!

Qing Shuang even felt that she must be sick!

She didn't even dare to look into Yu Yonggui's eyes again!

Yu Yonggui looked at the usually cold girl in front of him whose face turned red. He also blushed and didn't know what to say.

…

Xing Xing: “…”

Although she didn't know what happened, she always felt that she shouldn't be here at the moment and should go out...

Xing Xing made a prompt decision: "I remembered that I left something outside. I'll go out for a while."

As she said that, she ran straight to the door, opened it, walked out and closed it, all in one go!

Xing Xing also reminded the guards at the gate of her courtyard: "Don't let anyone into this courtyard, understand?"

The guards were all brought by Xingxing. They obeyed her orders absolutely and responded in unison. They looked very reliable.

Xingxing nodded with satisfaction, put her hands behind her back, and went to sit in a nearby pavilion and play.

When she came back, Yu Yonggui had already left.

Qing Shuang sat there quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xingxing's heart tightened. She moved cautiously in front of Qingshuang, somewhat unsure of what was going on.

Qing Shuang's eyes moved to Xing Xing, and she said with a sad face: "Princess."

Xing Xing let out an "ah" and became nervous first: "Sister Qing Shuang..."

Qing Shuang sighed and said with a sad face: "Your fourth brother said that he would take me to see his mother when he returned."

"!!!" Xing Xing looked calm on the surface, but in fact she almost jumped up in anger.

If nothing unexpected happens, Sister Qingshuang will become her fourth sister-in-law!

Compared to Xingxing's smiling face, Qingshuang was obviously a little worried.

Xing Xing also noticed it after laughing for a while. She sat next to Qing Shuang affectionately and said, "Sister Qing Shuang, why do you look a little worried?... Don't worry, my second aunt is a very nice person."

Qing Shuang met Bai Xiaofeng when she was recuperating at the Yu family.

I know that Bai Xiaofeng has a straightforward personality and is indeed not a difficult person to get along with.

But the problem is...

"...Didn't I almost kill your fourth brother before?" Qing Shuang sighed, "Didn't your second aunt hate the murderer at that time?"

Qing Shuang couldn't help but sigh again.

If she had known this would happen, she would have been gentler that day.

Xing Xing exclaimed, "Ah!" and thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be a big problem. My second aunt was worried about my fourth brother's marriage before. If she knew that my fourth brother had a beautiful daughter-in-law like Sister Qing Shuang, not to mention that Sister Qing Shuang almost killed my fourth brother before, even if Sister Qing Shuang wanted to chop my fourth brother now, I'm afraid my second aunt would still be holding the line."

Qing Shuang was stunned: "Really?"

"Although it's a little exaggerated," Xing Xing pinched her index finger and thumb and gestured, "but it's about the same!... In short, Sister Qing Shuang doesn't have to worry at all!"

After Xingxing's comfort, Qingshuang looked much better. She sat aside and began to wipe her knife.

Xing Xing looked at Qing Shuang lowering her head to wipe her long sword, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Her fourth brother is so lucky.

Such a beautiful and powerful girl!

He can persuade someone to marry him with just a pack of snacks and a hairpin!

She was so lucky that she was a little jealous!

…

The next day, Xingxing had just finished her breakfast when the maid came in to tell her that Miss Luo had come.

Xing Xing and Qing Shuang looked at each other.

The timing was just right.

Xing Xing said: "Please come in, Miss Luo."

Led by her maid, Luo Qingrou walked into the house gracefully.

She was wearing a blue gauze dress today with a Sichuan brocade belt tied around her waist, which made her waist look slimmer and her bust look fuller.

Xingxing couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After Luo Qingrou came in, she lowered her head with a look of shame on her face: "My daughter was drunk yesterday. Although she drank the sobering soup, she still behaved inappropriately. This morning, my daughter was completely sober. When she thought of her behavior yesterday, her face was hot and she was restless. That's why I hurried over to apologize to the princess..."

Luo spoke softly, raised her flushed face, and said hesitantly: "Princess..."

Xing Xing smiled and said, "Miss Luo, you don't have to be so cautious. I already told you yesterday, it's okay."

Luo Qingrou's eyes were full of gratitude: "The princess is so kind."

Xingxing smiled and said nothing.

Xingxing's schedule today is to go hiking and sightseeing at Yuting Mountain outside the city.

This Yuting Mountain, located in the mountains outside Anjiang City, is like a graceful girl, nestled among the peaks, hence the name Yuting Mountain.

In addition, a rumor had been circulating since some time that unmarried girls who climbed Yuting Mountain would grow up to be beautiful and find a good marriage, so it was very popular among the young ladies in Anjiang City.

When those unmarried young ladies make plans to go on an outing, nine out of ten times they choose Yuting Mountain.

Since Xingxing is known as a place for "traveling in the mountains and playing in the water", Yuting Mountain is naturally arranged as the first stop after arriving in Anjiang.

The three girls Xingxing had chosen earlier to play with her included Luo Qingrou who had come to Xingxing's yard early, and the other two. One was the daughter of the chief clerk, Qiu Yuansang, who was sixteen years old this year and had already been engaged. She was waiting for the other party to pass the imperial examination next year before marrying her.

There was another one, also the daughter of a prominent family in Anjiang, her name was An Zhenzhen.

Three pretty little girls accompanied Xingxing in the carriage, and for a moment the carriage seemed to be brighter.

In fact, when Xingxing was still Feng Yongyong, she had met Qiu Yuansang, the daughter of the chief clerk, once. At that time, the wife of the prefect, Mrs. Luo, invited "Feng Yongyong" to her home for a banquet, and the wife of the chief clerk, Mrs. Jiang, brought her daughter Qiu Yuansang to accompany him.

At that time, Qiu Yuansang had an indifferent attitude towards Xingxing. Although it could not be said that he ignored her, it was definitely not passionate at all.

At this moment, Qiu Yuansang seemed like a different person towards Xingxing. She was witty and humorous, and kept making witty remarks. Even Xingxing couldn't help laughing several times.

The carriage was filled with laughter along the way.

An Zhenzhen is half a year younger than Xingxing, and is very innocent, pure and simple.

Luo Qingrou took care of Xingxing like a gentle breeze and drizzle that moistens everything silently. She was much more considerate and careful than Qingshuang, the fake maid who changed her job halfway through. If Xingxing had not been more sensitive than ordinary people, she might not have noticed that Luo Qingrou had been taking care of her.

However, after Xingxing discovered it, her eyes stayed on Luo Qingrou for a long time, and Qiu Yuansang naturally discovered it as well.

Qiu Yuansang covered her lips and smiled: "Sister Luo blocked a lot of wine for the princess yesterday, and today she is taking such good care of the princess. It can be seen that she is sincere to the princess."

It's a nice thing to say, but even when I say it, it feels like something is wrong.

Luo Qingrou seemed unaware and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sister Qiu, please don't make fun of me. I drank too much yesterday and made a lot of mistakes. I am grateful that the princess didn't give up, otherwise I would not be able to see you today."

As she said this, Luo Qingrou looked at Xing Xing again with gratitude.

"The princess treats me so well, I think I should give back to her." Luo Qingrou blushed and said shyly, "...but I really don't have anything to show off. I'm not as quick-witted and witty as Sister Qiu, nor as innocent and lovely as Sister An. I can only help the princess with some chores."

After hearing this, Qiu Yuansang was too embarrassed to say anything else. She smiled, picked up the teapot on the small table in the carriage, and poured a cup for Luo Qingrou: "Look at what Sister Luo said, how can I be as good as you said? ... Come, Sister Luo, have a sip of tea to moisten your throat."

This matter has been exposed.

Xing Xing didn't say anything, she lifted the curtain and looked outside: "...The scenery of Yuting Mountain is a little different from what I have seen along the way."

Qiu Yuansang introduced it to Xingxing with a smile: "My princess has a good eye. This Yuting Mountain has a unique appearance due to its special terrain and many ravines. The trees growing inside include not only some common tree species in our area, but also some from the northern frontier and even the southern barbarians. These are mixed together, and it is indeed quite different from the mountains outside."

Xingxing smiled and nodded.

They stopped the carriage at a stream where it was suitable for a rest.

Xingxing is now a princess. Although she wants to stretch her feet in the stream and play in the water, Luo Qingrou, Qiu Yuansang, and even the youngest An Zhenzhen have no intention of going into the water. It may be a bit conspicuous for her to go alone...Xingxing gave up the idea.

I just squatted by the stream with a few little girls and played in the water for a while.

When the group was about to get up and leave, they heard the sound of approaching horse hooves and the sound of young people laughing on the mountain road near the stream. It was obvious that a group of young people were riding horses passing by.

Seeing that Xingxing seemed to be slightly relieved by the sound, Qiu Yuansang came over with a smile and introduced them to Xingxing: "They should be from the Qingshan Poetry Society. The members of the Qingshan Poetry Society often recite poems and write couplets in places with beautiful scenery. I seem to vaguely remember that they are going to form a society at the top of the neighboring Luoshen Mountain in the next few days. They must have just passed by."

Xingxing nodded.

However, when Xingxing and her friends continued to drive up Yuting Mountain in their carriage, the young people who had just left came back again.

Listening to the sound of approaching horse hooves, it seemed that they were about to pass Xingxing and her friends' carriage and head for the top of Yuting Mountain.

Qiu Yuansang said "Huh" and said to Xing Xing, "Princess, please wait a moment. I will ask them where they are going."

Qiu Yuansang opened the curtains of the carriage. Several young men rode by on horseback. Qiu Yuansang called out to one of them whom he knew: "Master Ning!"

The man called "Master Ning" pulled the reins to his horse and rode over: "Hey, isn't this the Second Miss Qiu? Is the Second Miss Qiu also going to the top of Yuting Mountain?"

Qiu Yuansang smiled and said, "Yes. What about you? Didn't I hear earlier that you were going to Mount Luoshen?"

"Oh, don't mention it." Master Ning complained, "We all went there, and found that it was probably due to the heavy rain a few days ago that the stream there surged, and today the only way to the top of Luoshen Mountain was washed away... Anyway, we had already come out, so we changed to Yuting Mountain."

The man called "Mr. Ning" paused, "Ah, Miss Qiu Er, if you guys are going too... wouldn't it be inconvenient for us to go?"

This Master Ning obviously has good vision. This carriage is very luxurious. Based on Qiu Yuansang's family background, he probably cannot ride in such a carriage.

In other words, the truly distinguished person on the carriage is someone else...

So, who could be the most distinguished person to come to Anjiang City these days?

Master Ning reacted immediately.

I'm afraid that Princess Fusui is in the car!

That's why he asked this question, is it inconvenient?

Qiu Yuansang obviously couldn't make up his mind.

She said "wait a moment", lowered the car curtain, turned around and looked at Xing Xing, and whispered, "Princess, what do you think?"

An Zhenzhen pouted and said, "Oh, we decided to go to Yuting Mountain first, so let them go to another mountain! They are making a lot of noise when they organize a poetry club, so don't let them affect us."
