Qing Lingyi still smiled politely: "Miss Zhenzhen, those are just rumors. I learned riding and shooting from my mother, but how is it possible to cross a poplar with a hundred steps? There may be people in this world who can do it at the age of eight or nine, but absolutely It won’t be me.”
"It's not like you can beat Yang with a hundred steps, but you can still compete, right? You and I are the same age, so it's not a big deal to compete." Mingzhen glanced at Cheng Yang.
"Yeah, it's not a big deal to compete, but it's just not the right time today."
As he said that, Qing Lingyi opened his palm, revealing the newly healed wound on his palm, "Miss Zhenzhen, look, my injury is not healed yet, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold my bow."
Mingzhen glanced over hastily and sneered disdainfully: "It's just a small injury..."
"My wife said it." Cheng Yang suddenly spoke.
He glanced sideways, his eyes dark and oppressive, "She is no match."
Mingzhen shut up immediately.
"It's time for you to go to your father." Cheng Yang's tone was unequivocal.
"...Yes." Mingzhen lowered her head and turned to leave.
Qing Lingyi looked at her back and sighed.
Cheng Yang pinched her finger and asked, "Will you be angry?"
Qing Lingyi shook his head.
"I kind of hope you're angry." Cheng Yang said.
Qing Lingyi looked over: "Why?"
Cheng Yang stared into her eyes: "At least it proves that you care about me."
Qing Lingyi was stunned.
"Let's go get something to eat." Cheng Yang looked away and held her hand.
As soon as they entered the Shulin Garden, they saw a man with a gray beard but a strong spirit coming forward with a smile on his face: "General Cheng! Madam Cheng!"
Behind him was Lu Ting.
"Lu Shangshu." It was rare for Cheng Yang to treat someone with such respect. He briefly let go of Qing Lingyi's hand and bowed to him.
This was Lu Ting's biological father, Lu Yuanxi. He was good at poetry and writing, and was well-read in classics and history. He was an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and later he invited himself to serve as an official because of his old age.
Lu Yuanxi was famous for being able to play both sides of the fence, and he had many successful friends.
In the past, my mother said that the job of Minister of the Ministry of Finance was not something that ordinary people could do. Lu Yuanxi was capable, and he had been doing it for so many years, so he had a lot of skills.
At that time, Qing Lingyi didn't quite understand.
After the first Lu Yuanxi became official, no one after him could stay in the position of Minister of Household Affairs for a full year.
Qing Lingyi gradually understood the meaning of her mother's words.
"I'm no longer the minister, General Cheng. I've been retired for many years," Lu Yuanxi waved his hand and smiled, "but you, now that your majesty has put you in such a high position, and you have such a lovely wife by your side, it's really enviable."
To praise Qing Lingyi is to praise Cheng Yang's heart.
He couldn't suppress the upward curling of the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm lucky."
Lu Yuanxi turned to Qing Lingyi again: "Your mother must be very happy that General Xiaoqing has grown so big."
Qing Lingyi's cheeks turned slightly red.
General Xiaoqing was given to him by Qing Lingyi back then.
She said that if everyone calls her General Niangqing, then since she is her mother’s daughter, wouldn’t she be General Xiaoqing?
It was a banquet, and everyone laughed when he said this.
Lu Yuanxi was also there. After all these years, he still remembered it.
Now she understands better why Lu Yuanxi is able to get along like a fish in water in Suidu.
"Come, Zicheng," Lu Yuanxi smiled and gestured to Lu Ting, "Invite General Cheng and his wife to the table."
"……oh."
Lu Ting stepped forward.
The courtyard is extremely open, and the banquet has been arranged.
Lu Ting walked in front and didn't say much.
Qing Lingyi said softly: "Mr. Lu, were things difficult to handle the past few days?"
Lu Ting turned around: "Why do you ask?"
Qing Lingyi smiled: "I feel like you are very tired."
Lu Ting sighed, she is really a beautiful and kind-hearted girl.
Why did you marry Cheng Yang so early?
He said: "I have already taken care of that matter a few days ago, and there is no difficulty. What I am worried about is today's banquet."
"Today's banquet?"
"Mrs. Cheng, to be honest with you, today's banquet was not my father's so-called whim, but his plan that started from the day of the Jiang family's flower feast."
Qing Lingyi suddenly realized: "Your father wants to find a marriage for you!"
Lu Ting thinks she is really smart.
At the same time, I am even more regretful. Why did you marry Cheng Yang so early when you are so smart?
Lu Ting guided them, and the three of them walked towards the table together.
He continued: "That day after the Furui Banquet, although Mr. Jiang had an accident, Mr. Xiao Jiang began to discuss marriage with the Lin family. My father thought this marriage was a good one. Mr. Xiao Jiang and I were almost a few years apart, and now Suidu is like this There are not many people who are young enough to have a family. He is very anxious."
Qing Lingyi nodded slightly, "This is human nature."
"I heard that Mr. Xiao Jiang and Miss Lin have started to take things in the past two days," Lu Ting said. "The Jiang family originally wanted to take things slowly, but Miss Lin is very anxious. I think she wants to do it in August." Get the wedding done quickly."
Qing Lingyi can understand that Lin Ruzhi must be worried about something happening.
She really likes Jiang Yizhou so much.
After sitting down at the table, Lu Ting noticed that Cheng Yang remained silent.
He grabbed the Sangluo wine from the table and prepared to pour a glass for Cheng Yang.
Although he married Qing Lingyi in advance, brothers are brothers after all.
But Cheng Yang lowered his head slightly and asked Qing Lingyi: "General Xiaoqing, did you get it yourself?"
Lu Ting:?
Qing Lingyi's cheeks were slightly red: "Why do you ask this?"
"Curious," Cheng Yang rubbed the back of her hand, "I want to know everything about you."
Qing Lingyi blushed and didn't know what to say.
Lu Ting put the wine bottle back with a click.
What the hell brother.
Boring!
There are also people sitting at the table on the left.
Qing Lingyi glanced over inadvertently and saw Hu Pingbo.
He also looked over here, his eyes as silent as an ancient well without waves.
Qing Lingyi was silent for a moment, her eyebrows arched, she smiled and nodded to him in greeting.
Hu Pingbo was slightly stunned.
"What's so good about an old man?"
Cheng Yang's joking voice sounded in Qing Lingyi's ears.
She turned her head and felt something sweet being stuffed into her mouth.
She chewed it subconsciously and asked vaguely: "Is this a tangerine?"
"Um."
"It's very sweet," Qing Lingyi said, "Try one too."
"I can't taste it."
Qing Lingyi didn't understand for a while: "What?"
Cheng Yang stood next to her and said in a soft voice: "Yeah, I have no sense of taste. I can't taste anything I eat."
Qing Lingyi was stunned for a moment.
"But if you cook something, I can taste it." Cheng Yang said again.
Lu Ting couldn't help but ask: "Is it so mysterious?"
Cheng Yang ignored him.
Qing Lingyi also asked: "Is it true?"
Cheng Yang hummed softly.
Lu Ting:......
I want to turn the table over.
"General Cheng! General Cheng!"
Three teenagers came in front, looking at Cheng Yang with admiration and eagerness to try.
Cheng Yang glanced down: "Is something wrong?"
The three teenagers looked at each other and took courage: "We want to compete with you!"
"Bike riding and shooting!"
"We heard that your riding and archery skills are the best in Sui!"
Cheng Yang raised his eyebrows.
He was too lazy to go, these three yellow-haired boys combined didn't even bother him twice.
But Qing Lingyi found this very interesting and said with a smile: "You three are so brave, you will definitely do great things in the future."
The three teenagers all blushed a little.
Cheng Yang suddenly changed his mind.
He asked: "Hmm, do you want me to compete?"
"Go ahead, isn't this great?"
"But I want a reward."
"Reward? Yes."
Cheng Yang succeeded most of his tricks, and finally he approached her ear and asked, "Is this okay if it's not serious?"
