Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 177 Staying in the ruined temple
"Why did you do this?" Dugu Xiwei asked without any end.

But before he could refuse a reply, a burst of noisy laughter suddenly broke out outside the quiet ruined temple.

"Hey, come and see! Is there actually green smoke here?"

"The green smoke means that this ruined temple has been occupied by others. What is there to be happy about?"

"What are you afraid of? With Miss Gongsun here, we can just let them find another place."

While the three women were chatting and laughing, they jumped out of a purple carriage and quickly ran into the ruined temple.

Xu Boyan had just lit the firewood and turned around to ask Qingzhu to ask Xie Xie to come in and warm himself up.

Unexpectedly, a series of wet footsteps gradually approached.

"Is there really anyone here? Just in time, they also lit a fire!" A woman wearing a blue Confucian shirt stepped forward first, came behind Xu Boyan and said: "Hey, we want this fire, and I'll give you twenty taels of silver. Go find somewhere else.”

The tone was arrogant and matter-of-fact.

It seemed that her behavior still gave Xu Boyan a lot of face.

Xu Boyan slowly turned his head, glanced at the woman, and saw two more well-dressed women walking behind her, holding paper fans, and said in a very calm tone: "Are you talking to me?"

The woman in blue Confucian shirt felt a little funny, "You two are the only ones here. If I'm not talking to you, am I talking to a ghost?"

Xu Boyan turned around and said "Oh".

"What do you mean? Didn't you hear what I said? We are from the Gongsun family in Qiyang. We are traveling here on His Majesty's orders. We don't want to encounter heavy rain and are soaked to the skin. We want this fire. Give you the money and go find it somewhere else.”

Xu Boyan didn't know anyone from the Qiyang Gongsun family.

So I didn't bother to talk, so I just continued to grill the grilled fish that I had simply washed and marinated with sour fruits.

The charcoal fire brings out the mouth-watering fish aroma.

Gongsun Meng couldn't help but swallowed, and then stepped forward and saluted Xu Boyan's back. Different from the bossy tone of the previous woman, she asked humbly and gracefully: "This young master "A few of us were passing by here, but we encountered this rain and our clothes were soaked. Can we use your fire to cool down together?"

Xu Boyan heard that these words sounded like human words, so he moved aside to make room.

It was precisely because of this move that Gongsun Meng saw clearly that he was an ordinary person. She couldn't help but feel a little regretful in her heart. Looking at this man's back, she thought he was a handsome young man, so she could bear to be humble. Scored three points, unexpectedly...

But it's right to think about it. If the two of them were really distinguished sons from aristocratic families, how could they end up alone in the countryside when it was getting late?

The politeness on Gongsun Meng's face instantly disappeared, and he looked at Gongsun Xue who walked up to stand beside him.

Feeling her gaze, Gongsun Xue seemed to have received some encouragement and took a few steps past her, "Cousin, you are too kind. How can a country boy like him deserve to sit with you? Hey, you brats, before my servants come, I advise you to be wise and give up your place as soon as possible. "

"Otherwise, don't blame me for calling you good-looking!"

Qingzhu couldn't bear it anymore, and then looked at Xu Boyan, "Mr. Xu, let me beat them out!"

Xu Boyan has a reserved temperament. Although he often remains silent when Xie is not around, he is always the first to have an idea and stand up to take charge of the overall situation whenever something happens. As time goes by, Qingzhu has unknowingly Developed the habit of asking him before everything. Xu Boyan shook his head, "That's not necessary."

At this moment, rejected laughter came from outside.

"Hey, why is it so lively?"

Gongsunmeng and the other three looked around with shock in their eyes. No one expected that they could meet such a stunning beauty in such a wilderness.

Even though all three of them are girls.

But from the moment they refused to enter this ruined temple, the three of them felt like they had been invisibly reduced to dust.

Although he is tall and tall, he is currently wearing a men's-style dark gray gown, with black silk tied high behind his head, and a ponytail simply lifted up. He is dressed according to the simplest attire for a tomboy in Kyoto nowadays, but because his clothes are very wet, The exquisite figure was immediately revealed.

So Gongsun Meng and others knew she was a girl at a glance.

"Who are you?" Gongsun Xue boldly stepped forward to ask.

He refused to glance at her, and walked past her while fiddling with the itchy wet hair on his cheeks, "Which branch of the Gongsun family are you from?"

Xu Boyan's originally expressionless expression suddenly showed a smile.

At first glance, his facial features are ordinary, and none of his eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth are outstanding. Only when he smiles, a pair of shallow pear dimples will appear on his cheeks, giving people an amazing sweet feeling. .

Of course, the most amazing thing about Xu Boyan is not just the pair of dimples, but the ultimate sense of contrast.

Xie despaired at him, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

In the past, she liked her senior brother, wasn't it because he had two completely different faces? And now, what do I do to Dugu Xiwei?
For a moment, Rejection seemed to understand something, but he didn't fully understand it.

Along the way, Gongsun Xue would mention the Gongsun family a few times to everyone he met. However, after leaving Qiyang, very few people on the road knew the name of the Gongsun family in Qiyang. Now the tone of his refusal sounded like he was knowledgeable.

Gongsun Xue said in surprise: "Do you know Gongsun's family in Qiyang?"

He refused to meet her eyes and said in a low voice: "Of course I recognize him."

Before the death of the late emperor, there were three famous aristocratic families in central Beijing. They prospered and balanced each other. Among them, the Wang family gradually declined. In the end, only Tingwei Wang Zhen's family was left as an official in the court. , but its reputation is far from what it once was.

The Wang family is the most powerful among the three prominent families in Beijing, but is always second only to the Dugu family. Her sudden collapse means that from now on, the Dugu family will become the largest aristocratic family in Beijing.

The remaining prominent family is the Gongsun family of Qiyang.

Over the years, the Gongsun family has taken a different path, living far away in Qiyang and rarely returning to Kyoto. However, they have always shouldered the important responsibility of "promoting filial piety and integrity and recruiting virtuous people" for the court. They can also be regarded as solving problems for His Majesty and finding many good ministers. So it still retains some of its original reputation.

Of course, these are all appearances.

In fact, among Jiyue's many prominent families, the Dugu family has long been the only one left, standing out and taking the lead.

Xie Xie grew up in Kyoto and knew very little about other things. However, the gossip involved in these famous families had been taught and taught by dedicated people since she first came to the ground. It was difficult for her not to know.
