The Reborn Concubine Returns

Chapter 160: First meeting

The backyard of the Xuqu county government office is more elegantly decorated than the front one. If you don't know it, you may think that this is the courtyard of some high-ranking official who has paid a lot of money to decorate it.With great difficulty, through the layers of rockery and flowing water, and through the willows, green flowers and red flowers, in the middle of the open space, I saw a man in white clothes with black hair like a waterfall. Watering the flowers.I don't know what kind of flower it is, but it still blooms extremely beautifully in the severe cold of early winter, and it is quite eye-catching in the thick green.

"Third Master, then General Gu is here."

"Sure, I see. You have served the prince up front. I'll go back to my room and change my clothes."

Hearing Gu Qingping's name, he didn't make that person raise his eyes, but the pot watering the flowers under his hand paused for a while, his fingers tightened a little like Bai Yu, and he continued watering the flowers after saying something indifferently.

"But third master, then Gu Qingping is the prince after all, I'm afraid it's not good for us to make the prince wait."

"Ok?"

It wasn't until then that the man's face was revealed.The fair face is lined with the black hair, and the lips are as red as painted red. The whole has a morbid beauty, but it is not delicate at all. There is no emotion in the narrow and long eyes, like So alive that it can freeze people to death.

The butler was still a little afraid of Gu Qingping's identity, but when he saw the man's knife-like eyes, he immediately fell silent, bowed his head and went back to work obediently.The butler knew well that in Xu Qu's land, this ancestor was the one who could not be offended. Even if Gu Qingping came, he might have to suffer from this.

Seeing the white-bearded old housekeeper shaking his head and disappearing into the depths of the green shadow, Xu Jing's eyes were turned back.The hand as finely carved as white jade was holding a thin stalk of a flower, with a slight force, the delicate flower fell into the soil with a bang, only slightly splashing some dust, It will soon return to silence.

Gu Qingping and his group in the front yard walked into the yard, until they were served a few cups of tea by the housekeeper, there was only an upright county magistrate in the room, and they didn't see Xu Jing at all.

After drinking a few sips of tea, I chatted with the county magistrate about court affairs.Bai Qingran lowered her eyes silently, the celadon quilt in her hand was still continuously transmitting warmth to him, but a fine layer of cold sweat still broke out from Bai Qingran's hands.He was worried about Gu Qingping, although Gu Qingping's temper in this life was already much better than in the previous life, but it was still far from the point where people would not get angry while riding on his neck.Thinking of this, Bai Qingran couldn't help but look up at Gu Qingping who was beside him, but he didn't expect that Gu Qingping was not angry, but still had a gentle smile on his face, patiently accompanying the little county magistrate Talking about the affairs of the government and the public, he seemed to be quite sorry for the little county magistrate who was thrown to this place before he had a chance to show his fist.

This made Bai Qingran stunned for a moment, and the little girl in her heart seemed to churn out a lingering smell of jealousy.Feelings, he was worried here for a long time that the old man was in a bad mood, but he didn't expect that the old man was here to drink and flirt with men. It seemed that he was the one who was too nervous and worried about his mind.

After a while, Bai Qingran glanced coldly at Gu Qingping, who was chatting happily, and was so silent that he didn't speak, you are waiting for the young master to go back to the inn.

And Chongjin, who was always good at things, naturally didn't miss Bai Qingran's cold eyes, knocking on the melon seeds that the butler just brought over, happily watching the good show, and didn't look anxious at all.

Finally, just as Bai Qingran was about to finish the pot of special herbal tea, the legendary Xu Jing finally appeared in everyone's field of vision in a white cotton gauze dress.

As soon as Gu Qingping raised his eyes, he saw Xu Jing, but he clenched his hand holding the teacup calmly. Although there was still a rather kind smile on his face, the turbulent waves in his eyes made people look at him. shock.

"I've heard about the prince's name for a long time, but because the manor is busy with official duties, I can't welcome you far away, so I ask the prince to punish you."

"Where, where, since the master is busy with official duties, this king is also on the spur of the moment. I haven't notified it before, and it is reasonable that the master has not prepared."

After hearing Xu Jing's explanation, Gu Qingping snorted coldly in his heart.Heh, if the servant in the inn hadn't told him in person that Xu Jing knew about their arrival and invited them to the mansion for a gathering, he would really have thought that this game was arranged by the magistrate Yes, it has nothing to do with this person.

But on the surface, before Gu Qingping investigated clearly, it was a shame to continue Xu Jing's words.Xu Jing didn't say any more, he bowed to Gu Qingping and the three of them and sat down happily.That demeanor was composed and peerless, but it was quite aloof, but it was really far from the Xu Jing that Gu Qingping had imagined.

Gu Qingping here didn't mind that Xu Jing's arrogance went too far. Xu Jing also looked calm and composed, but it scared the housekeeper not far away into a cold sweat.

Although he knew that the power behind this little master must be not simple, but no matter how difficult it is, he is still just a little master now. The county magistrate personally appointed by the emperor has to respect Gu Qingping, the great Buddha. Jumping shouldn't be so defiant.What's more, Gu Qingping was bathed in bloody battles when he was young, and the coercion all over his body was smeared with the smell of blood. The tension that really oppressed people like a mountain, even when he stood so far away, his throat was tight. A little nervous, how could this little ancestor be so calm?

"I don't know what the prince Gu's visit to Xu Qu is all about?"

After Xu Jing took his seat, he didn't care about the others, so he touched a cup of Jin Junmei that the housekeeper had prepared earlier, and slightly lowered his head to take a sip.It was probably because the tea had been left for a long time, and it was a little cold and astringent. After taking a sip, Xu Jing's face became unsightly. He frowned slightly, and pushed the tea aside calmly.

After hearing Xu Jing's words, Bai Qingran, Gu Qingping, and Chong Jin all raised their eyebrows involuntarily.Gu Qingping and Bai Qingran lamented the arrogance of Xu Jing's tone, the naturalness of his acting skills, and the kind of indifference with the energy to do everything for Ni, which is really quite impressive.As for Chongjin, he just thought this person was interesting, much more interesting than what he had heard before.

"It's nothing, I just heard that something big happened to Xu Qu recently, and because there is no war in the four borders, I accepted the emperor's order to join in the fun."
