Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

Qingping didn't know how she was dragged back to the study by Chu Jun, she was dazed thinking about the phrase "pay back what you owe, what does she owe Chu Jun?"Until the two sat facing each other, Chu Jun put his hand on his chin and kept smiling at her.Qingping didn't know what she was laughing at, and asked doubtfully, "What do I owe?"

Chu Jun tapped lightly on the table, straightened up and sat upright, his expression slightly restrained, and even his tone became serious, as if discussing important matters in the court: "When you were studying in Le'an Academy, all expenses were paid by I paid it out in the account, excluding sundries such as pens, inks, papers and inkstones, the cost of reading alone is quite a lot.”

Qingping was shocked, she didn't expect that she could count this, and immediately replied: "That's 'Yu Jun', I just read books for others."

Chu Jun said solemnly: "Lize Academy is not something you can enter if you want to. It took a lot of effort to get you in, just to make a lot of money, not to mention managing everywhere in the academy. What's more, the people who study are Yu Jun is not bad, but in the end, you still took advantage of it."

Qingping choked, feeling that what she said was indeed true.Since the creditor said so, she could only admit it.He frowned and replied, "Okay, let's fold it into taels of silver. How much is it?"

Chu Jun waved his hand, with a posture of taking his time, and said: "Don't worry, there is still more. Later you went to Chang'an to study at the official school... well, let's not talk about this for now. Just say that later on you will work in the palace, and you will be in the palace. The cost of food and clothing is only lower than mine... Hey, why are you staring at me? If you don't talk about the cost of studying, you have stayed by my side since childhood, when have I ever treated you badly?"

Qingping was speechless, after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case, he was immediately defeated, and frustrated, he said: "How much money?"

Chu Jun bullied her enough, and asked with a smile: "With your current salary, you may have to work for another twenty years. If you have a prosperous official career, you may be able to pay it off. I am also generous, so I won't ask you for interest." ,how?"

If it is true that people are shameless and invincible, this principle is good everywhere.Qingping took a deep breath, she couldn't help but muddle through at this moment, she carefully calculated in her heart, wondering: "Where did so many come from?"

Chu Jun took off his cloak and put it at hand, and gently explained to her, "Because there is still this mansion, and it needs someone to take care of it and repair it frequently, not to mention the flowers and trees in the back garden—"

Qing Ping suddenly got up, only one thought in mind, she is not staying here anymore!But just as he was about to step out of the other door, he heard a chuckle behind him and said, "Where are you going?"

Qing Ping paused and replied: "I can't stop, I'm going to find another yard outside."

Suddenly Chu Jun circled her from behind, leaned against her face and whispered: "If you take me away together, our debt will be cancelled."

Qingping's heart became hot, but he wanted to go against her: "I want to choose to pay back the money?"

Chu Jun kissed her temples, his chest trembled, and he seemed to be smiling: "Then I will follow you even more closely. If you run out of debt, where can you find it?"

Qingping didn't answer, just let her hold her like this.In the afternoon, the sky was getting darker, the north wind was blowing, and it was snowing again.Chu Jun said softly: "I'm a little tired, I'll borrow your room for a rest, and I have to go back to the palace to approve papers in the evening."

"Okay." Qingping said, sending her into the back room, a screen blocked all sight, Chu Jun closed his clothes and fell asleep, his face was a bit tired, and he still wanted to talk to Qingping: "The picture on the screen is peach blossom ?”

Qingping had never looked at it carefully before, so he hurriedly glanced at it and said, "I think so."

"Do you like peach blossoms?" Chu Jun said, "I never knew you had such a preference."

As if she could not give up the answer, she grabbed Qingping's sleeve and refused to let her go. Qingping sat helplessly on the head of the bed, cheered up and said, "I often saw this flower when I was studying in Le'an. I can't say I like it very much."

Chu Jun lowered his voice and said, "That means I like it very much."

Qingping fell silent for a while, then turned around to look, the man had closed his eyes, one hand was still clutching the corner of her clothes, his brows were furrowed, he was not very comfortable in his dream, he must have been in the hall recently Something went wrong.Qing Ping looked at her face, wanted to tear the corner of the clothes away from her hands, but he still couldn't bear it, so he carefully took off his coat and put it on the bed, helped her get the hairpin, and left quietly.

After she left, Chu Jun slowly opened his eyes and let go of the robe in his hand.At this time, she didn't have the gentleness on her face at all. She glanced at the hairpin next to the pillow, as if she was thinking about something. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she rubbed the robe into her arms, and then closed her eyes.

The study was plunged into darkness, Qingping looked at the snow falling outside the window, and the chill hit her face, and she felt a little sober.But when he was awake, he felt the cold intrusion silently.The snow was thick and dense, and it fell on the ground. This scene has happened countless times in her past life, and it is not different.As she grows older, she seems to be able to gain some special insights from this natural scene.

She had no way of knowing what kind of scene it was under the heavy snow.If you want to get to the bottom of it, you need to dig out the snow layer yourself to get a glimpse of it.This reminded her of Chu Jun, whether there was something unknown hidden under her calm appearance.

What is she trying to do?

Qingping closed the window, sat back at the table and lit a candle, took out the roster from the dark cabinet and spread it on the table.Back then, the Golden Tent entered Chenzhou to preach, recruited many believers, and had a great momentum. To be able to act so arrogantly under the eyes of the government, there must be supporters in the dark.What exactly did the Golden Tent promise to these people to make them willing to take such a big risk to cover it up?

She turned to the last few pages of the roster, some of which were extra thick with golden patterns painted on the corners.I don’t know what kind of handwriting was used to write on it. It hasn’t been worn out for a hundred years. The pen and ink are a little heavy, as if they were just written and dried. , as if the seal had just left the paper.

These sheets of paper are not only similar in shape, but even the surname of the sealer is exactly the same.The complicated patterns on the seals hinted at their identities. They were similar in shape to phoenix birds but had no crowns and short wings.Qingping had seen this kind of gilt bronze talisman seal at the ceremony of King Gong's canonization. The Ministry of Rites stamped a seal on a piece of white paper as usual, sealed it and put it in the case for identification.It can be said that the sigils of each knighted royal family are different due to their titles and status. Although they seem similar, they can be distinguished in details.

If it is said that human handwriting can be imitated, but the seals on these few pieces of paper are hard to fake.The names of these people only need to look up the royal family genealogy, and then the Ministry of Rites will retrieve the sealed pictures to confirm the matter.

"looking at what?"

Qing Ping suddenly raised his head, Chu Jun came in with his hair down, and put on a coat for her in a leisurely manner.

"Don't you feel cold?" Chu Jun looked down, with his hands on her shoulders, Qingping didn't even have time to turn the page, and she just saw it.

Chu Jun didn't seem to be very surprised, but just squeezed Qingping's wrist lightly, feeling slightly cool, she wrapped her hand in her palm and said, "So it's this one, brought back from Chenzhou, right?"

Qingping breathed a sigh of relief, watching her fine-boned hands pick up one page after another, and then Chu Jun said: "If this thing is said to be useful, it still has some merits; if it is said to be useless, it cannot be displayed in the open. On the surface, but secretly it is also considered a trick, which can frighten the feudal lords of Chenzhou, but it should be used at critical times."

"The main reason is that people have been dead for too many years, so it's okay not to admit it. My great-great-grandmother is also in this roster, but it's a bit hard to tell if it involves the royal family." Chu Jun held her hand and said calmly , "It can be said that the handwriting is forged. At that time, you can bite the court back, saying that the court intends to target the family, and it is a crime."

Qingping didn't want her to react so quickly, so he asked back: "But the seal is difficult to fake, why can't we accuse the big family based on this?"

Chu Jun smiled, turned and leaned against the table.It was rare for her to be dressed like this, her long hair was like satin, and the ends of her hair brushed against Qingping's face, making it itchy.

"We have to wait." She raised Qingping's face with her hand, looked into her eyes and said, "Wait for the most suitable time, just one time is enough, what do you think?"

She bent down, and the two sniffed each other.Her pupils reflected the lights, like ink and gold, revealing a strange temptation. Qingping intuitively felt that she was not just talking about this roster. She opened her eyes wide in confusion. Chu Jun just lowered her eyes and lowered her head. Kissed the bridge of her nose.

She seems to be teaching herself how to analyze this matter, Qingping thinks so, and finds it very inconceivable.

Chu Jun's eyes were full of smiles, and he continued: "People's hearts cannot be measured by common sense, and things in the world don't always follow the trend. Sometimes you sail against the current, why don't you abandon the boat and go ashore? If you understand this, you can do what you want thing."

Qingping avoided her gaze, vaguely understood the meaning of her words, before she could speak, Chu Jun closed the register with a snap, and said leisurely: "A great achievement, Li Shizhong, what reward do you want?"

Qingping's eyes lit up, and he replied: "How about writing off all the debts owed?"

"It's a good idea." Chu Jun backed away slowly, folded his sleeves and said, "Where is such a good thing, and you can write it off?"

Seeing her appearance, Qingping felt his teeth itch, and endured it and said: "Then what reward can I have?"

Chu Jun was playful: "Why don't I get promoted to an official? The salary can be more, and the debt can be paid off as soon as possible."

Qingping frowned and didn't speak, there were footsteps outside the window, someone knocked on the door, she said lightly: "Your Majesty, you should go."

Chu Jun remained motionless, and said, "What do you think?"

Qingping sighed deeply: "I just want to pay off the debt as soon as possible, and don't think too much about it. It's always bad to owe favors."

Chu Jun said, "I don't want you to pay it off."

Qingping said decisively: "No matter how many debts there are, there will be a day when they will be paid off."

Although Chu Jun was smiling, his eyes were cold at this time, and he replied: "Then we will wait and see."

The author has something to say: Today the stool is broken. I tried three ways of coding: squatting, horse-stepping, and standing, but they all tested my physical strength. Finally, I put the computer on the bed and knelt down under the guidance of my friends. Written on a yoga mat.

Really, kneel down and write.

So I'm slow to write, sorry.
