The feeling between the two of them was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing a small splash and then calming down. No one could tell that a stone had fallen here.
Xu Nuo, as the only person who knows love, feels sorry for them, but also feels happy for them.
Returning to Xu Pingqi's house, Xu Nuo found her second brother staring at her with a look of great suspicion and a hint of disgust, as if she had done something shameful to him, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.
The two people's eyes met, Xu Pingqi looked away calmly, and soon stared at Xu Nuo again.
Xu Pingqi's eyes may seem very dull, but if you look at him for a few moments, you will feel a quiet depth. No matter what the surrounding environment is, his eyes will not change, as if he is born to be a person who is not surprised by changes.
However, today, Xu Nuo caught suspicion and disgust in his eyes that were supposed to be calm and peaceful, which made her feel awkward and surprised.
Ms. Lu was looking down at Xu Pingqi's recent article, but did not notice the strange atmosphere permeating the room.
Xu Nuo pulled Xu Pingqi over and asked in a very low voice: "Erlang, why do you always stare at me!" The boy's rebellious period really comes at once, inexplicably.
"Sixth sister, what you said is so unreasonable. I never glare at people, so when will I glare at you." Xu Pingqi glanced at Lu, pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then pushed Xu Nuo out and said.
Xunuo snorted, took Xu Pingqi's wrist and strode forward.
Xu Pingqi hurriedly slapped Xu Nuo's hand away, straightened his sleeves and looked around, then quickly moved forward to catch up with Xu Nuo.
The two walked on the gravel road not far from the house, walking slowly side by side, almost as tall as each other.
Xu Nuo turned his head and looked at Xu Pingqi, thinking that in a few years, would he be like his elder brother, so good-looking that the ladies from Bianjing City would rush to block him outside Yingtianfu Academy?
But with his personality, he might scare away the little lady.
Erlang has been calm since he was a child, and now he is even more calm as water. His lips are always pursed tightly, as if he is an adult, but when he smiles, the pear dimples at the corners of his mouth are revealed, and he looks like an innocent and simple child.
Thinking of Xu Pingqi's smile, Xu Nuo couldn't help but feel better. She reached out to hold his arm. Just as she was about to say something thoughtful between siblings, he slapped her hand away again.
He said: "Sixth Sister, do you have any thoughts about Brother Fan Xiwen?"
Xunuo was shocked and waved his hands hurriedly, "What nonsense are you talking about!" After speaking, he hurriedly looked around.
"Then why did you ask me where his room was as soon as you came in? You were restless all the time. You just came from his room again." Xu Pingqi stood in front of Xu Nuo.
"You are wrong. He and I are not familiar with each other, so how could we go looking for him?" Xu Nuo did not expect that she would be seen looking for Fan Zhongyan.
When she came out, she clearly didn't feel anyone nearby.
"I can see clearly from the rear window." Xu Pingqi frowned slightly and said every word.
Only then did Xu Nuo realize that Xu Pingqi could see a row of houses on Fan Zhongyan's side from the back window, so he no longer tried to hide it and said directly: "I have something to do with him, but I will never have any thoughts about him. You don't have to worry about my affairs." .”
"That means you have thoughts about others." Xu Pingqi folded his hands on his chest and looked at her with an inquiring expression, as if he was examining a prisoner.
A gust of wind passed by, and the leaves of the ancient trees in Yingtianfu Academy were rustled by the wind.
She didn't expect Xu Pingqi to speculate like this, so she looked up at the sky, looked at the slowly moving white clouds, and said softly: "You kid, why are you talking nonsense today?"
"If you hadn't had thoughts about someone, you would have dragged me all day long to ask about the eldest son of the Song family or the fourth son of the Ding family." Xu Pingqi said softly, with a hint of pride on his face.
The eldest son of the Song family and the fourth son of the Ding family are respectively the number one scholar this year and the third number one in the first class last year. They are both unmarried, and they are the best husbands in the hearts of all the ladies in Bianjing.
Seeing the smug smile on his lips, Xu Nuo understood instantly.
"Hey, you've grown up, but I don't like these two of you, Sixth Sister, you know? Don't play hard-to-get with me, don't try to trick me!"
Xu Nuo pretended to be angry and patted Xu Pingqi on the shoulder a few times. There were only three words in his mind, brat.
After hearing this, Xu Pingqi spread his hands and said, "I don't like these two people either, and I'm not playing hard to get. It's Sixth Sister who thinks too much."
Recently, he had been hearing rumors that the Xu family was going to marry the Ding family again, and he had been worried for many days. Today, it was confirmed that the sixth sister did not like Ding Silang, and he was relieved.
If Sixth Sister doesn't like someone, her parents will not let her marry him.
But, who is Sixth Sister’s sweetheart?
In the blink of an eye, Xu Pingyi has left Bianjing for more than half a year and has completely adapted to life in the northwest.
The folk customs here are simple and there are few evildoers, but the climate is not as good as that of Jiangnan.
There was a severe drought from August to September, and a lot of crops in the fields were damaged by the sun. He couldn't bear to see that the results of the villagers' hard work would be destroyed on the cracked land.
At first he didn't know how to deal with it, but later he came up with a way to divert water from the Wei River to irrigate the crops, and asked the villagers to grow more drought-resistant crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, and pepper.
Under his governance, in only half a year, the lives of the people on Qinfeng Road were much better than before, and the people's initial suspicion of him has completely turned into trust.
If you kill a pig, you will invite him to eat the meat with you. If you bake pancakes, you will ask your children to give him two pieces.
Here, he experienced unprecedented comfort, everyone's smiles were sincere, everyone's eyes were clean and clear, and life was stable and fulfilling.
One morning in late October, he unexpectedly received a letter from Hu Ling.
Hu Ling asked him to send some capable guards to the north to meet him.
Xu Pingyi knew that Hu Ling went to Lizhou Road, but did not know that she and Zhu Shang went to Xixia together, so he was shocked when he received them.
After returning home, I was even more surprised to learn about their injuries and experiences.
The time goes back to when Hu Ling and Zhu Shang first entered Xixia.
The two arrived in Xixia in mid-May, and Zhu Shang went to see the King of Xia early the next morning.
Zhu Shang came to Xixia this time not only because of the invitation of Xia King Li Deming, but also with a purpose. Even if Li Deming did not invite him, he would come to Xixia.
In his first meeting with Li Deming, he did not explain his purpose.
As they became acquainted, he found the right opportunity to explain his intention to Li Deming, but Li Deming pretended not to hear and changed the subject.
Many times since then, whenever he wanted to talk about this matter, Li Deming would change the subject.
There is no need to rush this matter. Zhu Shang can only stay in Xixia and wait for the right opportunity before persuading him.
Fortunately, Hu Ling liked Xixia and got along very well with the king of Xia. The two of them rode horses, shot arrows, drank wine and ate meat, and they were very harmonious.
Hu Ling believed from the bottom of her heart that King Xia's sister was much easier to get along with than Xu Xu. No matter what she wanted to do, King Xia's sister was willing to accompany her.
