Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

Fine snow foam fell from the eaves, Qingping opened the door, and the Tsing Yi civil servant who sent the letter saw her and said respectfully: "Master Taichang, several adults sent by the imperial court have arrived at the government office, and the county chief sent his subordinates to inform you, please Let's go to the officials together to discuss this matter."

Qingping was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "Everyone has already arrived in Anping? Why is it so quiet and there is no news at all?"

The man smiled bitterly and said, "It's useless to ask me. The county magistrate is waiting for you in the government office. You'll know when you get there. I need to inform the Tongzhi adults, so I'll take my leave first." After she finished speaking, she saluted , left in a hurry.

Qingping thought about it for a while, and felt that something was wrong.She closed the door and walked quickly into the courtyard, ready to change clothes.But seeing Chu Jun leaning on the pillar and writing something in the snow with the previous branch, she was stunned suddenly, she was so engrossed in thinking about things for a moment just now, that she even forgot her existence.

When Chu Jun saw her coming, he dropped the branch in his hand and asked, "Is there something in the government office that requires you to go there?"

Qingping looked at her apologetically, and said, "Yes."

Chu Jun smiled, feeling a little indifferent for some reason, she patted the snow in her hands, and said: "Then go quickly, don't delay things."

Qingping was silent for a while, walked to her side and wrote lightly: "The people sent by the imperial court have arrived in Anping, and the county chief summoned me to discuss matters."

When she said this suddenly, Chu Jun was a little surprised. Her smile slowed down a bit, showing a bit of sincerity, and it didn't look so glaring.Qingping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the door, warm wind was blowing in her face, and the mixed faint smell made her blush.She went straight to the room, took off her outer robe, and was surrounded by someone from behind.

"You tell me this, aren't you afraid that I know too much?" Chu Jun buried his head by her neck, breathing on her collarbone, and said in a deep voice.

Qingping turned around and hugged her, complicated and unspeakable feelings welled up in her heart, suddenly she understood that all the previous misunderstandings were nothing but her distrust of Chu Jun.If two people who love each other keep something hidden from each other, and neither of them is willing to take the first step, how long can this relationship last?

"Actually, a little bit." She said sincerely, "But you seem a little sad." She put her arms around her waist and whispered, "I don't want to see you sad."

There are also risks in love. In the sincere communication and temptation, one person will take off the heavy armor first, revealing the soft inner part. Maybe it will be a sharp and cold blade, but if you don't try it, who can Know what the final result is?

She pushed Chu Jun away, held her face in the astonished expression of the other party, and said seriously: "I want to be good to you."

Chu Jun didn't speak, Qingping only felt that the strength in her hand was increasing, as if she was going to press her into his body, and he was a little out of breath.She let her hug her like this for a while, the snow stopped outside the window, and a cold light was reflected under the window, reminding her of the time in Chang'an, when the cage courtyard was clear and bright, and the ground was full of silver, when they sat and talked under the tree, even though it was Intimate, but there is always a knot in the heart, but the distance is like a mountain and a sea.It turned out that it had been so long, she brushed Chu Jun's hair with her fingers in a trance, and only after a while did she hear her muffled voice: "Got it."

"Lord Li? It's been a long time!" Shao He walked quickly with a smile on his face.

Qingping only thought of Shao Ming's matter when he saw her, and he felt a little depressed about the rumors that spread all over the city, knowing that it must be written by the head of the family.But it's hard to say anything when you see someone, so you have to be polite: "I haven't seen you for a while, Master Shao, how is your caravan in Anping?"

Shao He's smile froze slightly. Some people in the caravan she brought were not used to the climate of Yunzhou, so they never stopped asking doctors.If it continues like this, it will almost collapse when the mutual market opens.She looked distressed, and said: "Some minor incidents have happened, I wonder if Mr. Li has any good solutions?"

These words are really a bit too intimate. If others here must confirm the rumors of getting married, Qingping kept his distance from her calmly, and suddenly said: "Master Shao, don't worry, I have already invited people from the mansion A gentleman to see for your caravan."

Sun Congshan stepped in from the middle door, wearing a bright red court dress, black gauze on his head, and a feather belt hanging down, followed by several subordinates who also wore court clothes, Qingping saw her and saluted, saying: "Master the county chief."

Sun Congshan glanced at her, and said, "Li Taichang still has important matters to attend to, so he won't gossip with Master Shao."

Shao He hurriedly said that he didn't dare, but Qing Ping secretly heaved a sigh of relief and followed Sun Congshan.Hu Mo winked at her when he saw her, Zhou Kaiyuan remained silent as usual, but nodded slightly to her to show his friendliness.Sun Congshan said: "I called you here because the officials sent by the imperial court are already waiting in the middle hall. Everyone has something to talk about and something to discuss." She waved her hand lightly and walked very slowly, as if she was thinking about something Things, said: "Don't let people think that this is our territory in Yunzhou, and bully them just because they are the master, understand?"

What she said was very interesting, and Qingping almost didn't laugh. She could already feel the jealousy of the officials of the household department towards the local officials of Yunzhou through the description in her words. You must know that Yunzhou is the most famous of the six states. It is said that in the early years At that time, if there were officials who disagreed with each other in the state meeting, they would inevitably fight on the spot under the veil, and some people even lost their lives in the state meeting.In addition, the folk customs in Yunzhou are tough, and there are constant conflicts among the villages. People often gather to fight in groups, and it is too late for the government to send people to stop them.Officials from other places came to Yunzhou to take office, and whoever didn't bring good guards was afraid that they would be beaten to death by local officials if they didn't pay attention.Hu Mo grinned and teased, "Sir, they didn't bring someone here, did they?"

Sun Congshan glared at her, and said, "Don't make trouble, which official of the fifth rank or higher in the imperial court travels without a guard of honor?"

It was guards of honor instead of guards, Qingping broke his merits in an instant and laughed out loud.She raised her head, and everyone around her laughed. Yuan Du, who had a face on his face, couldn't help but rubbed his nose, and said, "My lord has a good opinion."

Hu Mo grinned and said, "My lord, do we need to bring a guard of honor when we go out?"

Sun Congshan had a very headache, pointed at Qingping and said: "Li Qingping, you are not from Yunzhou, you go in and talk to them later." She paused, and said in a very disdainful tone: "Tell them to give the 'guard of honor' to you." Withdraw, I will go later."

Qingping had no choice but to nod, and walked towards Zhongtang under the sympathetic gaze of a group of colleagues.

Remnant snow fell from the branches, Qingping glanced at the sky, it was already the beginning of March, presumably the snow would not fall for a few days.Soon when spring comes, there will be vibrant green everywhere again.She was thinking about going out for an outing with Chu Jun when she was free. Although Yunzhou is not as prosperous as other states, there are still some good places in terms of scenery, which are worth visiting.

She thought about it absent-mindedly for a while, her mind was full of where to go to play.Walking slowly to the middle hall, there was a row of guards standing outside. The woman in charge seemed to be of high rank, seeing her coming over, she took a step forward, and said politely: "Your Excellency, please stop, there are adults discussing important matters here. Passage is not allowed at this time."

Qingping glanced at the familiar plaque speechlessly, Sun Congshan hasn't come yet, what is there to discuss?Seeing that she was silent, the man was a little nervous, as if he was afraid that she would fight with her next sentence, and said, "This..."

Qingping cupped his hands and said: "Li Qingping, Taichang of Lower Anping County, County Chief Sun sent me here to handover matters with all the adults. I wonder if you can let me go?"

She showed her waist card politely, the man was slightly taken aback, he probably didn't expect her to play the card so unreasonably, motioned his men to back away, and let her in.

Qingping looked back after walking far away, filled with emotion in her heart, the middle hall is a place she often comes to, but now it is occupied by others, and she still needs to be notified before she can enter, the feeling is hard to describe in words.

Once inside, I realized that even the furnishings had changed.She stood by the shelf and looked at the objects on it. She never knew that the Anping County government office was so rich. Thinking of Sun Congshan's complaints about the lack of financial funds, she guessed that she must have put all the private possessions in her mansion together.She walked to the hall dedicated to receiving guests, and several officials who were dressed in five-pin blue robes like her were sitting on chairs.When Qingping walked in, they were talking in a low voice. The leader was wearing an apricot red official robe, which symbolized her rank from the fourth rank, and was talking to the people next to her. Seeing that her colleagues stopped talking, she looked towards the door. Just opposite to Qingping's line of sight.

There was still a smile on the man's lips, it was an extremely familiar face to her.

It was Wu Ying.

In an instant, countless pictures flashed through Qingping's mind, but she was still calm. She paused when she stepped into the room, and finally stepped on the soft carpet.Those few had the same rank as hers, but the Beijing officials were invisibly higher than the foreign officials of the same level, so Qingping should salute them.But Qing Ping just bowed slightly, and said: "My lords, it's really hard for you to come from a long distance. County Chief Sun will be late due to business, please wait a little longer, and try our Yunzhou Fengwu tea."

The group of people looked at each other, and they seemed to feel the contempt and dismissive attitude of Yunzhou officials from her words. One of them said coldly: "I don't know when County Chief Sun will come? No matter how big the matter is, It's nothing compared to the opening of the mutual market, we came all the way here for this, from morning until now, could it be that County Chief Sun did it on purpose?"

Qingping was a little surprised, it turned out that Sun Congshan gave them a big blow early on, no wonder she was so calm just now, Qingping also thought that this was not in line with her usual style, thinking that she was trying to cultivate herself and learn what tolerance is.Of course she would not say that Sun Congshan did it on purpose, and said gently: "What about your lord, our county chief has been a little busy recently, and we have no intention of neglecting you."

Although the man was itching his teeth with hatred, but the Yunzhou official was famous, he didn't say anything, he just put the teacup on the table heavily and made a noise to express his inner dissatisfaction.Qingping glanced at it as if nothing had happened, found a seat and sat down without paying attention, and met Wu Ying's eyes, seeing her half-smile, she decided to strike first, and said: "Who is this lord?"

Wu Ying seemed to know that she would pretend not to know her, she cupped her hands and said, "My surname is Wu, and the word is Ying. Who are you?"

Qingping was sensitive to the sense of sarcasm in the tone of her words, she replied calmly: "Xiaguan Anping County Taichang, Li Qingping."

This time, like water in oil, everyone was in an uproar and turned their attention to it.As we all know, this mutual market was presided over by an official surnamed Li. According to rumors, this person once worked in Beijing and was educated by a famous family.Young but experienced and courageous, he was recommended by Sun Congshan as the person in charge, and no one objected.Before reaching the fifth rank, he attended the state meeting and talked eloquently, which was appreciated by the state pastor.Immediately, the way he looked at her was different from before, reserved and not warm, as if he had been with her for a long time.

Qingping was busy dealing with them, but felt a different line of sight, full of different meanings.She pretended not to know and continued to talk to people.

Wu Ying and the person beside her spoke a few perfunctory words, lowered their heads and took a sip of the tea that had already cooled down, hiding the thick and passionate emotion in their eyes.
