Sheng Weiqiao and the others were originally looking at the cluster of ink orchids. When they heard this, they saw a corner of a purple robe exposed among the intertwined branches and leaves of several camellia trees not far away. As they were asking for questions, Zhao Taozhuang quickly walked around the flowers in front of them. Shu, walked in and asked: "Cousin, why am I alone there? Where is the host who is waiting for me?"
Although the atmosphere of this dynasty is open, it is not a big deal for young men and women who are not related by blood to meet privately. Bu Nao Sheng Wei Qiao thought that she was not familiar with the Zhao family after all, so she would apologize if she didn't say anything about her first visit. Since Zhao Taozhuang and the people inside didn't invite them, she just stood still. Sheng Weiwu and Gongsun Yingjiang had been asked to look away before they came. She didn't move at that moment. Sheng Weiwu curiously poked her head behind the flower tree, and was patted on the east head by her cousin. Be honest.
Although the Xu sisters had known Zhao Taozhuang before and invited her to attend the birthday banquet held at Ningwei Hou Mansion, Mingyue Fu Nan brought Sheng Wei Qiao and his party over, so naturally Fu accompanied Sheng Wei Qiao and others to see them. The coals were gone and stopped.
I heard Zhao Taozhuang say repeatedly behind the flower tree: "I was just injured. I want to see the flowers. I can just ask Didong people to move into the house. Why come out in person? The flower house on the left and right has been built for many years. , unless there are guests coming, we usually don’t have anyone coming to see us. It doesn’t matter if I just move all the flowers over there? On a windy and snowy day, even if there are ground dragons there, can you come from the yard where I live? It’s so long Isn’t there even a curtain hanging in the corridor? I... I’m obviously not well, so why do I bother myself like that?”
When he said the last sentence, his tone was somewhat choked.
In that case, Sheng Weiwu and Xu Caifu were just very young. Sheng Weiqiao, Xu Caikui, and Gongsun Yingjiang looked at each other wrongly, but they were all a little embarrassed. They originally thought they could just say hello to the cousins, but now they heard Zhao Taozhuang's tone. In the middle, it seemed that the cousin was quite different. Nanguwai lost his temper to the point where the guests ran over, so it would be inappropriate for them to continue to listen to them shut up.
When Dongsheng Weiqiao and Xu Caikui exchanged glances, they waved their legs to the left and right, gesturing for everyone to follow them to the side. As they walked, they softly made excuses: "That canna is said to like light and heat. It grows lush and full of flowers in our south. Branches are not so easy to plant in the north, but I didn’t expect that the bushes there would grow so well!”
"No? He said that there are a few bushes of the same color in their garden. Of course they were buried in the snow, but they don't seem to grow particularly well in spring and summer. Now that I think about it, is it possible that gardeners don't understand? , I planted them in a shady corner!" Xu Caikui said, "After we go back, we have to ask someone to dig them up to a sunny place!"
After saying that, I had already walked to the canna bushes some distance away from the camellia trees.
Although because of the silence in the greenhouse, Zhao Taozhuang was so excited that she forgot to lower her voice, and the scolding and distressed words could be heard more or less easily, but they were already indistinct and could not be heard clearly.
And colored glaze is precious. Although the Zhao family used it to build a flower house extravagantly, it should not be too big. Those camellia trees happened to be near the center of the flower house. If they wanted to go further, they would have to lean against the colored glaze. The wall was gone - so when Zhao Taozhuang came out and saw it later, it would inevitably look too stained, and she was a little suspicious that Zhao Taozhuang and her cousin had some shameful intentions behind the tree - so Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Caikui discussed in a low voice After a few words, I decided to wait at Canna's place.
"Third sister, I see there are impatiens flowers there!" At that time, Sheng Weiwu pointed not far away and said, "I just noticed that Miss Zhao was applying color to her nails."
"If you ladies like it, why don't you pick some and use them back?" Upon hearing this, the personal maid Huanying, who was thrown away by Zhao Taozhuang, went to apologize and said with a smile, "Most of the flowers in our flower house are impatiens. The masters of the house It's enough. I ask you to send some copies to the Gaomi Palace every now and then! Just pick them, it doesn't matter."
Although there is actually no flower room in the Xu family that can make flowers bloom in reverse time, the luggage of Sheng Weiqiao and his party contains paste powder processed from fresh impatiens flowers. The dyed nails are similar to the freshly made flower juice. .
They were just tired from traveling and traveling, and no one could recover for a while. Naturally, they were not in the mood to dress up - especially if Mingyue Fu came to visit to apologize, it would not be good to dress up too grandly.
But Yandong and his party needed to stay there so as not to disturb Zhao Taozhuang. Shut up. Hearing this, he thanked Huanying and asked the maids to watch Sheng Weiwu and Xu Caifu go picking, so as not to disturb their age. When I'm young, I have no patience when I have nothing to do, and it's hard to deal with troubles.
Sheng Weiqiao himself, Xu Caikui and Gongsun Yingjiang stood in front of Canna and chatted.
Because Huan Ying was there, and because Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Caikui were not very familiar with each other, there was naturally no in-depth topic at the moment, except Chang'an's recently fashionable food, clothing styles, makeup, and so on.
While he was talking perfunctorily, Sheng Weiqiao was thinking to himself: "Your Aunt Nan told them about the situation in the Zhao family. Did Mrs. Qin and the late Zhao family have two sons and one daughter next to each other? Can they be legitimate children?" "
"Then Zhao Taozhuang's cousin, if he is his aunt's cousin, that's fine; if he is his aunt's cousin, wouldn't he be the heir of King Gaomi?"
Coupled with Zhao Taozhuang saying that her cousin "just got injured", Sheng Weiqiao immediately thought of what she heard the day before yesterday, that Rong Qingzui, the second son of the King of Gaomi, was seriously injured in Bishui County, and his appearance was even damaged. .
"Even Zhao Taozhuang's cousin also came to Zhao Mansion to stay for a while, but how could it be such a coincidence that the cousin was injured and something happened to the cousin as well?" Sheng Weiqiao thought to himself, "The person behind the camellia tree just now, It seems that 80% of Rong Qing is drunk!"
Bu Nao, that makes people feel strange, "Rong Qingzui is the legitimate son of King Gaomi, and the Prince's Palace of Gaomi and the Zhao Palace live in Chang'an. He was injured, so why can't he be recuperated in his own palace instead of the Zhao Palace?"
Because Zhao Taozhuang just said "ask the Didong people to move into the house" instead of moving to the Gaomi Prince's Mansion, it can be seen that Rong was so drunk that she couldn't stay idle while she was recovering from her injuries. - Sheng Weiqiao was very surprised, "He is neither the legitimate son nor the son of a concubine! His mother, Princess Gaomi, is not only the married wife of King Gaomi, but also the serious mistress of the palace. According to what Aunt Nan told them when they were in the Hou Mansion. The thing is, is Princess Gaomi famous as a lady in Chang'an before her marriage? After marrying into the royal family, she has always been respected by the King of Gaomi, but she is not that kind of mistress who has a reputation for nothing!"
And how could Rong Qingzui, as her biological son, be stranded at her mother's house with an injury instead of enjoying the care and greetings of her parents in the Gaomi Palace
"Do you mean Zhao Taozhuang?" Just now, Sheng Weiqiao heard Zhao Taozhuang's concern for her cousin behind the flower tree, but didn't hear the man's response. Now that he was far away, he couldn't hear anything, so he didn't Do you know whether the two cousins are careless and ruthless, or are they in love with each other
But then I thought, "Did something happen to Rong Qingzui in Bishui County? And the reason why he went to Bishui County, according to the news he heard at the Xu family the day before yesterday, was probably to ask to marry Huan Yehe, the head of Jingshu County! At that point, From the moment when Sister Caikui introduced Huan Yehe to him, Zhao Taozhuang immediately changed the subject, it should be confirmed!"
Before, she found it puzzling that Zhao Taozhuang didn't like Huan Yehe, because if Zhao Taozhuang didn't like Huan Yehe, why would he go all the way to Bishui County with her
