Dawei Fanghua

Chapter 90: Uncovering the cocoon in the fog

Qin Liang hadn't spent the night at the palace for a while, and he might still be a little unaccustomed to it. He woke up very early on the first morning after the Double Ninth Festival.At this time, I got up too early and continued to sleep unsteadily, making it difficult for me to get up and down.

The smell of Wang Xuanji was completely gone from this sleeping couch.However, Qin Liang always had a place for her in his heart.

Before the dinner yesterday, Qin Liang met Wang Xuanji in the corridor of the front hall. Judging from her attitude, she must be angry with Qin Liang.

Just like the encounter in Luoyang City two years ago, she had been entangled in the piece of silk (Qin Liang gave it to Chaoyun, and Chaoyun gave it to Wang Xuanji), saying again and again that she wanted to return it to Qin Liang.Qin Liang later understood that she didn't hate him, on the contrary, she was angry but couldn't find a valid reason to blame, so she kept grabbing the piece of silk to make excuses.

But since the two days of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Liang has not seen Wang Xuanji for more than half a month. What can happen to her?Qin Liang could only look back slowly and carefully.

So stupid?Qin Liang remembered this curse in the old house next door.He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and since he was a little tired, he was careless and thought it was just flirting. After all, the two of them had just been very close to each other.Later, Qin Liang was quickly distracted by Yin Mo's affairs. He was very nervous all day long and naturally had no intention to continue thinking about the details.

Only then did Qin Liang pay special attention to this curse.

That day was August [-], the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why did Wang Xuanji call him stupid? It was because Qin Liang asked him earlier, "Why did you feel so sad that you shed tears when I apologized and mentioned that incident that day?"

Qin Liang continued to look back. "That incident" of course refers to the accidental drunkenness that ruined Wang Xuanji's innocence. "The mention of that incident" was the time when Qin Liang came to Wang's house on the eve of taking office as a school official. He and Wang Guang were enjoying singing and dancing in the courtyard and met Wang Xuanji. Qin Liang took the opportunity to apologize and say some nice things.

Looking back again, what did he say?He probably meant that he wanted to make up for the harm he had done to Xuan Ji and was willing to do anything for her, sincerely and without the slightest hint of hypocrisy.

Qin Liang's attitude towards admitting his mistake at that time was very good, and he said whatever good things came to his mind to express his sincerity, but... what if Wang Xuanji was really moved?No matter how Qin Liang uses words like "do anything" or "sincerely", the listener's feelings will be different.

These things cannot rely on the logic of language, but must rely on carefulness and speculation, coupled with the control of subtle sensibility, entering the category of abstraction and sensory capture.

Wang Xuanji shed tears, most likely not because she was sad that her perfect body was gone and the consequences would be serious, but because she was moved.Although she was moved, she actually understood that Qin Liang's words meant an apology, so she felt a little sad.So she shed tears of emotion and sadness.

The girl's heart is simply like a maze shrouded in fog. Qin Liang needs to be attentive and meticulous when traveling through it. If he is careless, he will definitely not be able to find the answer.

Qin Liang savored Wang Xuanji's mood carefully, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. He couldn't help but sigh softly.

By this time, the sky was getting slightly brighter, so Qin Liang got up from the couch, went out to wash up, and called Mo Xie over to help organize his official uniform.Wang Lingjun hasn't woken up yet and is sleeping on her side. If you listen carefully, you can hear her even and rhythmic breathing. She is still sleeping soundly.Except for a few days when she was feeling unwell, she slept deeply every morning, and Qin Liang couldn't wake her up at all when he was doing things in the room.

After getting ready, Qin Liang ate some simple food and went to the school affairs office.Just like there is only one day off for the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is only one day off for the Double Ninth Festival.Unless there was an emergency delay, Qin Liang would go on duty and at least walk around the government office to make his presence felt in front of people.

Sometimes, even if he doesn't intend to do anything specifically, as long as he is here, it will always have an effect over time, and he will gradually understand some of the situation in the DPRK.As he summed up his experience, as long as you spend time soaking in it, it will always be useful.

Qin Liang was a fifth-rank official with great reluctance. If Cao Shuang Mansion had not found a suitable person to serve as a school official, Qin Liang would not have been able to become a fifth-rank official.He still had to think of a way to reach some kind of consensus with the big shots in Luoyang before he could be released as a prefect, and it would be best to add a general title.According to the promotion route plan that Qin Liang had made for himself before, he left Huainan and returned to Luoyang to serve as a capital official, just to be close to the center of power of the imperial court, so as to obtain the official position of prefect from the center.After all, starting from the local county magistrate and county lieutenant, the promotion is too slow, so it is better to look for opportunities in Luoyang.

The merit, prestige, and strength that can be brought to the court can only be achieved in local areas or even on the border; but if you want an official position, you have to rely on the big shots in Luoyang.As long as one's background or connections are in place, military merit is not required for official position. For example, among the officials around Cao Shuang at the ministerial level, who has any military merit?
In the past few days, Yinci and Wu Xin were not around, which gave other school officials opportunities, and people kept taking the opportunity to show their faces and get close to her.Qin Liang was very considerate and talked to them nicely.However, these people failed to rely on them at the critical moment. Now that they have shown up in front of the master, their status in Qin Liang's heart is very different.

...Today is the day after the Double Ninth Festival, the tenth day of September, and the weather is sunny.Sometimes there will be a gust of autumn wind, causing the branches in the courtyard to flutter wildly, and sometimes it will be calm and everything will seem to be quietly soaked in the sunshine.

Wang Xuanji ate breakfast slowly and watched the kabuki dancers practicing in the courtyard. She behaved "even more normally than usual".As far back as she can remember, she has never danced, but she has seen the moves of the maiko and the singing of the singers too many times.

After listening to it too much, she would sometimes feel disgusted with the singing and the sounds of silk and bamboo orchestras, which she felt were noisy.Of course, she didn't hate these Kabuki dancers. Even if her mother, Bai, didn't often say it, Wang Xuanji could imagine that they were all pitiful people.Even though they are well-fed, well-clothed, and don’t have to work now, there will always be a day when their youth fades and they turn old, and for kabuki girls, that day comes faster.

Wang Xuanji observed the people in the courtyard for a while, and noticed that her mother Bai had already left the door in a hurry, so Wang Xuanji calmly walked to the courtyard gatehouse at the back.

Before her niece got married, Wang Xuanji often came to this courtyard, sometimes every day. Naturally, she was familiar with the way, and the maid who was on duty to guard the gatehouse didn't pay attention to her. She just opened the door and went in.Wang Xuanji is very familiar with this place. She even knows when the maids change their duties.Usually, almost no one comes in or out of this gatehouse. It would be really boring for the maids to stay here for a long time, so they will not stay there all day, but alternately. They can do other things during the day, which will make their time easier. .

Wang Xuanji came to the attic and saw Wang Lingjun as expected, so she stepped forward and chatted for a while.Wang Xuanji is Lingjun's elder, and Lingjun is a person who understands etiquette and respects dignity, so he didn't mention those embarrassing things, but Lingjun already looks down on her as an elder in his heart, right?Of course Wang Xuanji would not say that she came to meet with Lingjun and was already feeling ashamed but with a calm face.

It's just that the two of them were a little cautious when talking, and their relationship was no longer the same as it used to be. As long as Wang Xuanji listened carefully, she could tell that there were more polite words and respectful words.

Judging from Wang Lingjun's several visits to her parents' home, if she wanted to return to her husband's home, she usually followed Qin Zhongming in the morning.If he was still at Wang's house in the morning, he would probably have to stay one more day... Qin Liang would also return here after leaving the government.

"I'm going to find some books." Wang Xuanji said.

Wang Lingjun responded casually.

So Wang Xuanji walked down the attic and came to a study room at the end of the corridor.There are some wooden shelves in the study room, stacked with many bamboo slips packed in linen bags, and a few articles written on paper and silk.The room was already dusty; it had always been spotless before.After Wang Lingjun got married, the person responsible for cleaning the courtyard became obviously lazy.

You can't see anything from the study door, and even when you go to the window, you can only see the trees in the courtyard.But if you stand on the wooden ladder next to the bookshelf and find the height and angle, you can look through the window and see the way in from the gatehouse.

Just a few words!Wang Xuanji still couldn't help but wonder what he was going to say.

Forget about the past, but no matter what, she would never be willing to agree to Qin Zhongming and continue to do such outrageous things, lest she be looked down upon by others.
