The first thing Wei Luo recognized was not his face, but a small dovetail-shaped birthmark under the corner of his eye. In the past many years, the birthmark has not changed at all, and it broke into her eyes under the colorful lights, reminding her of his name all at once.
Wei Luo's lips curled up a little, with a little carelessness: "Li Song?"
The boy's handsome face is long, because his facial features have become firm and profound due to years of martial arts practice, and his skin is a healthy dark wheat color. When looking at people with bright starry eyes, besides being rebellious, now there is something else. The stilt-walking team went away, and the crowd gradually dispersed, but he pressed her closer and closer, staring into her eyes: "It's me."
This sentence was squeezed out between his teeth, and only he knew how disgusted and dissatisfied he was seeing her.
Back then, she forced him to drown in the Taiye Pond, and Zhao Jie tied him to the target and shot an arrow. These two events had a great psychological impact on him. He still can't forget that when he was struggling in the water, she smiled sweetly on the shore, but she couldn't hide the irony in her eyes. Others were deceived by her cute appearance, only he knew how dark and cunning she was! That nasty ugly girl grew up and became a cardamom girl who was refined from other worlds.
How does she look so good-looking? Didn't it mean that she was born from the heart, she should have an ugly appearance! This pretty face did not match her at all.
Li Song pursed his lips, and was about to raise his other hand to see if she was wearing a human skin mask. Before his hand touched her chin, he caught a glimpse of someone punching from the side!
He dodged nimbly, let go of Wei Luo, and looked over there.
Wei Changhong protected Wei Luo, frowned and asked, "Ah Luo, did he bully you?"
He and Wei Luo have half a dozen similarities, and Li Song mistaken the two of them when he was a child. Now both of them have grown up, one is shockingly beautiful, the other is unique in beauty and unique in the world. Li Song had to sigh with emotion that the members of the Wei family were really born, let alone Shengjing City, even the entire girder couldn't pick a second one with such a look.
Wei Luo shook her head, and just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they heard her say again: "He belittled me."
Li Song choked his breath and almost choked himself to death. He belittled her? When did it happen!
Wei Changhong's eyes were gouged out like knives, with an extremely defensive attitude, as if as long as he dared to admit it, he would immediately step forward and beat him up.
The princes and brothers of the rich and powerful families in Shengjing City sometimes get together to get together, or drink flowers and wine, or listen to ditties, and most of them know each other. But Chang Hong seldom went to these places, so Li Song was very unfamiliar with Chang Hong, he only knew his identity, and didn't know how he had experienced in these years, whether his martial arts was advanced, so he didn't do it rashly for a while.
Speaking of frivolity, Li Song couldn't help but think of the situation when the two were squeezed together by the crowd just now. The girl's body was soft and fragile. He lowered his head and covered her almost completely. Her body exuded a faint fragrance, which was sweet and delicious. If he didn't know her true nature, he would really think that she was a naive and ignorant little girl, not a hateful little devil.
There were so many people just now, he pressed against her, his chest seemed to be pressed against something, soft...
Li Song finally realized what it was, and his face turned red. Fortunately, his vision was dim, and everyone couldn't see the abnormality on his face. He didn't start, and explained to himself for the first time: "There are too many people just now, I didn't mean it. If there is something offending..." His voice was hoarse, "You forgive me."
Wei Luo didn't think as much as he did. Her place was already in pain, and she usually didn't dare to touch it, but he suddenly pressed her whole body, and she was in so much pain that she hated him to death in her heart, how could he have so many charming and dirty thoughts! She slipped into Chang Hong's arms, and said coquettishly, "I don't forgive you."
Li Song pursed his thin lips into a line, looked at her side face, and was speechless for a while.
In normal times, Song Hui would stand up and smooth things over. But at this moment, he was in the same mind as Chang Hong, he didn't want anyone to be infected with Wei Luo, so he didn't say anything.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but fortunately, everyone was busy watching performances and juggling, not many people paid attention to them, let alone their identities.
A clear and quiet voice behind Li Song said: "Why don't I invite everyone to sit in the Jade Pavilion in front? Quan should apologize to everyone for Ah Song."
Several people followed the sound and saw a person standing under thousands of lanterns, wearing a royal blue straight gown with twigs and patterns of treasures and a crane cloak woven with purple cashmere and golden python pattern. He is as old as Li Song, sixteen or seventeen years old, but he has an innate aura, with a smile on his face and sincere eyes.
Back then, Li Song was the companion of the Fifth Prince Zhao Zhang, and the two had a good relationship, almost no need to think about it, a few people could guess his identity.
But right now on the street, there is no need to salute, so as not to attract too much attention. Zhao Zhang asked them to excuse him, and kept his eyes on Wei Luo for a moment longer, "Would Miss Fourth be willing to show her face?"
Wei Luo drooped her eyes, and immediately smiled: "Your Highness, you are serious. Since Li Shizi didn't mean it, I will forgive him, and I dare not bother you to come forward."
He said it didn't matter, turned around and walked in front, "A Song and I are brothers and sisters, his business is my business, it doesn't matter whether it's troublesome or not." He said with a smile, very approachable, "It just so happens that I come out tonight I’m in a hurry, I haven’t had dinner yet, I heard that the mutton soup pot in Fei Cui Building is a must, have you tried it?”
The Emerald Building Zhao Zhang mentioned is located at the end of this street. It is a time-honored brand with a delicate and gorgeous decoration on the front and a clean interior. It is famous for its mutton soup pot. The so-called mutton soup pot is to cut the mutton slices into thin slices, put them into the bottom of the pot that has been boiled in advance, boil them for five to seven times, and then you can take them out and eat them. In addition to mutton, you can also order other side dishes, such as fire party, tofu and other home-cooked dishes.
The difference between this Jade Building and others is that its soup base is delicious and mellow, not oily or greasy, and it is fresh and refreshing.
A group of people went upstairs and came to a private room. Zhao Zhang sat in the upper seat, Li Song was on the left, Song Hui and Chang Hong were on the right, and Ah Luo and Wei Zheng were sitting opposite Zhao Zhang. Wei Zheng was speechless all the way, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't help asking: "Fourth Sister, how did you meet Li Shizi? I've never heard you mention it before, but now, it seems that the two of you are quite familiar with each other. "
This sentence implied many kinds of deep meanings. She deliberately mentioned it in front of others because she wanted to embarrass Wei Luo. If Wei Luo can't come up with a good explanation, others will mistakenly think that she has a personal relationship with Li Song. This is extremely disreputable for a girl who is waiting in her boudoir and has not yet been married.
Wei Luo smiled, looked at her, and said, "Fifth Younger Sister usually doesn't go back to her room, she doesn't know her whereabouts, even if I want to tell you, I can't find a chance."
Wei Zheng's expression changed, unexpectedly, she was turned against the general: "I am..."
What do you mean never going back to your room? She just goes to the ginkgo garden often, and now it comes out of her mouth, as if she is so indiscreet! Wei Zheng wanted to refute, but when he thought of his mother's embarrassing position in the British government, he couldn't speak, so he forced a smile and said: "I went to the third room to find the third sister. You have to be too focused to not be in the house often."
Wei Luo smiled and remained silent.
Explanation is to cover up, does Wei Zheng not understand this truth
When it comes to the relationship between Ah Luo and Li Song, it was a big sensation back then, only Wei Zheng's vision is narrow, and he still doesn't know what happened. Zhao Zhang laughed loudly, and said eloquently: "...you were the one who pushed Ah Song into the water? I heard that he was ill for several days that time."
Wei Luo looked at Li Song at the side with a sweet smile: "Li Shizi is voluntary, isn't he?"
Li Song snorted, don't look at her at first.
Just at this time, the waiter in the shop opened the fan and served the dishes with a vermilion lacquer tray. In addition to the side dishes, the store also comes with two small dishes, Mrs. Xue and Furong Cake. Mrs. Xue is a pastry made of glutinous rice. It is round in shape, like a small bun, and wrapped in various soft and soft jams. It tastes sweet and glutinous, and is very popular among girls. For the sake of looking good, the Emerald Building decorated the glutinous rice ball with a small red bean. The bright red against the white snowball looked exquisite and lovely, just like... This plate of dim sum was placed in front of Li Song, and he bowed his head. You can see that Jun's face turns red in an instant, and he coughs again and again.
Zhao Zhang asked suspiciously: "Ah Song, are you uncomfortable?"
He covered his lips, waved his hands, and tried his best not to look at Wei Luo. However, many beautiful images flashed involuntarily in his mind, he ate this meal absent-mindedly and tasteless. From time to time, Wei Luo's clean and beautiful face came into his sight, through a thin mist, her charming smile disturbed his mood. Finally, he put down his chopsticks, stood up and said firmly, "I'll go outside for a walk."
If he stays any longer, he will lose his composure.
When he walked out of the private room, he was blown by the cold wind outside, and he became sober all of a sudden.
It must be that the stove in the room was too hot, making him dizzy, otherwise it wouldn't be so abnormal!
In the private room, Zhao Zhang and Song Hui had a happy chat.
He was already close to Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, and also had frequent contacts with Song Hui. A while ago, Song Hui was busy with the exams, and the two hadn't seen each other for a long time. It's rare to get together now, so we have a lot to say.
Zhao Zhang intends to talk to Chang Hong, but Chang Hong has a withdrawn personality and hardly talks to people he is not familiar with. Today, because of his status as the fifth prince, I would say a word or two politely to him, and I would not be able to say any more. Zhao Zhang was also generous and didn't argue with him, and even invited him to go hunting outside the city in spring.
There is such a custom in Daliang that the nobles in the capital like to hunt in Changxun Mountain outside the city in early spring. For two days and one night, whoever hunts the most and heaviest prey will be the most heroic and outstanding person this year. Young people are full of vigor, and they all like to show their strength in this way, so this kind of activity was very popular for a while, and it has been passed down to this day.
Chang Hong subconsciously refused: "I don't..."
Zhao Zhang interrupted: "Fifth Young Master, don't be in a hurry to refuse. When that day comes, I will send someone to the mansion to ask you. You can make a decision later."
Chang Hong thought for a while, nodded and reluctantly agreed.
After dinner, they walked out of the Jade Building, just as fireworks were lit on the lake in the south of the city. Bunches of sparks rushed into the sky, and with the bang bang, gorgeous fiery trees and silver flowers bloomed, illuminating half of the night sky. Wei Luo stood downstairs and looked at her face, the light from the fire shone on her face, alternating light and dark, changing in various ways. Just like her, there are thousands of faces, some are innocent and cute, some are cunning and willful, and some are vicious and dark... Li Song frowned and looked away.
Song Hui sent Wei Luo, Wei Zheng and Chang Hong to the gate of the British residence, watched them enter the residence, and then turned around and left on horseback.
Not long after he left, a man rode out in the darkness.
He is dressed in black and has a strong body. It is Yang Hao.
He looked at the gate of the British government, then at the direction Song Hui was leaving, clamped his horse's belly and shouted "Drive", and disappeared into the darkness.
At the same time, Prince Jing's Mansion.
Zhao Jie just came back from Binzhou, and it took nearly two years to go there. The Yellow River burst its embankment and flooded eleven counties on both sides of the bank. When he went there, the plague was spreading, and it took more than half a year to control the plague. Afterwards, the river bank had to be built and reinforced. He was entangled in trivial matters every day, and he stayed in Binzhou for so long without knowing it. Now it's hard to finish the matter, and I can finally return to Beijing to report on my work. I thought I could come back before the Shangyuan Festival, but I didn't expect it to be too late. There was a heavy snowfall on the road, which delayed the trip and just returned to the mansion.
The city is brightly lit and the fireworks are going off, making the night lively and noisy.
He changed into a green lotus-colored brocade gown and a crane cloak, and stood in front of the main room. After two years of honing in Binzhou, his brows and eyes are deeper than when he was young, as if there is a sea hidden, and he can't reach the bottom. However, his temperament has not changed, he is still noble and cool, rich and handsome.
There was a person standing in front of him, it was Yang Hao who had just appeared in the British government.
Yang Hao cupped his hands and told him what he saw just now: "The fourth lady went out with Mr. Song Hui, and ran into Prince Ruyang and the fifth prince on the way, and sat in the jade building for half an hour. The subordinates followed all the way and saw it with their own eyes. Let the fourth lady enter the Duke's mansion, and then come back to report."
Zhao Jie didn't move, his black pupils were deep.
He stood with his hands behind his back, thinking of Wei Luo's lively little face, with a soft curve around his lips. She was only eleven when he left, and she must be a young girl now, what kind of appearance will she look like
Yang Hao paused, hesitated to speak, "Your Highness..."
He raised his eyes, motioning for him to speak.
Yang Hao bite the bullet and said: "Ruyang Prince... embraced the Fourth Miss in the street..."
The smile on Zhao Jie's lips disappeared, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
