    Chapter 62

    But on the 15th, Gongyuan took the lead. At noon, Xie Ling went back. When he entered Qingshui Alley, he saw a woman walking out of the alley. He frowned slightly, and the original joy in his eyes disappeared.  Much lighter.

    That woman was none other than Madam Cui, who had been here not long ago and was driven away by him later.

    As soon as she saw Xie Ling, she smiled enthusiastically and said, "Ah, it's the scholar who came back from the examination."

    With that look, it was as if she had no memory of Xie Ling throwing her out before. Xie Ling did not answer, but just smiled. There was no smile in his eyes. He just stared at her and asked, "Ms. Cui, what's wrong?"

    As soon as she saw him smiling, for some reason, Mrs. Cui's heart trembled. She always felt that he was smiling but not smiling at all, which made people feel chills on the back of her neck. However, she was also a shrewd and powerful person after all, smiling to herself.  He replied: "It's a great thing. Someone asked me to be a matchmaker for your sister."

    Hearing this, Xie Ling's eyes became more and more gloomy, like two deep pools. His smile still hung on the corner of his mouth, and he asked very kindly: "Is it done?"

    Mrs. Cui covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled, cheered, and said: "When it comes to matchmaking, isn't it just about talking about words? It can't be done in one or two times, unless it's a matchmaker! But there is an old saying,  There are no clouds in the sky and no rain, and no matchmaker on the ground to get married. If I run a few more errands and can arrange a good marriage for your sister, that will be my blessing."

    Xie Ling raised the corner of her mouth and smiled. With this smile, Lady Cui felt the back of her neck getting colder. She shrank her neck and said with a dry smile: "Well I have to go and reply to Mr. Zhao. It's only a scholar who is a gentleman."  I won¡¯t delay you when you get back from the exam.¡±

    After she finished speaking, she stumbled away with her handkerchief in her hand. Xie Ling stood there for a while before continuing to walk towards her home.

    The sun was at noon, and the whole yard was filled with sunlight. Shi Hua was sitting under the shade of a tree, and sprinkled finely chopped osmanthus flowers in a dustpan. The osmanthus flowers bloomed a lot this year, and she made several jars of osmanthus wine and osmanthus honey.  , there was still a lot left, so I dried it in the sun for future use.

    With her pure white hands, she scattered the tiny goose-yellow flowers one by one, trying to make them as smooth and even as possible. Shi Hua was also very patient when doing this kind of work. Until there was a sound at the courtyard door, she looked up and saw that it was Xie Ling coming back.  .

    Shi Hua weighed the dustpan lightly, and Xie Ling came up to meet him, took the big dustpan, put it on the bamboo pole set up to dry, then stood with his head lowered and stopped talking.

    Shi Hua carefully noticed that he was depressed, so she looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

    Xie Ling then raised her head, glanced at her, shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

    Shi Hua didn't think about Lady Cui's matter for a moment, because she felt that Xie Ling probably didn't recognize Lady Cui, so she couldn't guess what Xie Ling was thinking at this time, so she could only say gently: "But you didn't do well in the exam?"

    Xie Ling whispered: "No."

    After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back into the house, leaving Shi Hua standing there, looking at his retreating back, her brows gradually furrowed, and she was confused for a moment.

    In the afternoon, Shi Hua was calculating accounts carefully in front of the window. Suddenly someone came outside, blocking the light. She couldn't help but raise her head and saw Xie Ling standing there, and asked, "What's wrong?"

    Xie Ling said in a calm voice: "Senior Brother Yang said we would have a small gathering, so I won't be back for dinner tonight."

    Shi Hua thought for a while. The provincial examination had just passed. It was normal for the brothers and sisters to get together for a meal. Then he said, "Then go ahead and be careful on the road."

    Xie Ling looked at her deeply, responded, and left. It was not until the courtyard door was closed that Shi Hua came back to her senses from the daze just now. She was about to pick up the pen and continue writing, but saw a big drop of ink on the rice paper.  Cover all the numbers written previously.

    The whole afternoon was in vain. She took the paper away with some annoyance and continued to make careful calculations.

    It was only in the evening when Xie Ling came back when it got dark, that Shi Hua finished cooking. Seeing him come in, she couldn't help but be very surprised: "So early? Aren't you having dinner with your senior brothers?"

    Xie Ling just looked at her and replied, "I missed you, so I came back first."

    These words were so straightforward that Shi Hua was stunned for a while. When she came back to her senses, she realized that the chopsticks in her hand had fallen to the floor.

    She lowered her eyes and did not pick it up. She suddenly had a feeling in her heart that things had finally come. It was strange, like she was relieved.

    The words are finally spoken.

    Shi Hua stared at the flat floor tiles, and the dim candlelight outlined some shadows on them.You made the wrong move from the beginning. How will this situation end?

    The window was closed. At this time, the sound of the door opening came from the east room. Although it was very soft, it still seemed a bit abrupt in the silent night.

    Xie Ling walked out of the room. He changed into a light cyan robe. His whole body looked very tall and straight, like a green bamboo. The moonlight cast his reflection on the wall, pulling out a long shadow. The shadow slowly  Passed by and stopped at the well.

    There were still many wine stains on the sleeves of the cloth robe Xie Ling was holding. Because the light was too dark before, it was very inconspicuous. If Shi Hua looked carefully, she would know that the smell of alcohol on Xie Ling's body was not due to  He drank wine, but it was because of these wine stains.

    Xie Ling threw the cloth robe into the wooden basin, then used the moonlight to get a bucket of well water and poured it in. After soaking, he turned and looked at Shi Hua's room. The window there was closed, and it was obvious that there was someone inside.  He has already fallen asleep.

    He just looked at it for a while, then raised the corners of his lips, revealing a barely visible smile.

    Let me tell you today, at least in a short period of time, Mrs. Cui will not come to my door again. Xie Ling's plan today is just Shi Hua's soft-heartedness.

    The moonlight is still spreading over the earth, and Suyang City has fallen into a deep sleep.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
