Tao Ti and Xu Wenchan were both bystanders, let alone the parties involved.
Enduring the pain in his back, Xu Guangji frowned, and looked down at the little girl in his arms, "Are you okay?"
Qing He was taken aback by the sudden polo, and when she heard the clear voice above her head, she raised her head in a daze, and stared straight at the man in front of her with clear eyes.
He is so tall.
His nose bridge is also very high.
His eyes are so bright and piercing, like a leopard.
She blankly thought about these inappropriate things.
Xu Guangji looked at her pretty face as pale as pear blossoms, and suddenly realized something, quickly let go of her, took a step back, opened the distance, and cupped his hands, "I offended the county lord in a hurry, please don't blame the county lord." .”
Qinghe stood helplessly, "..."
Xu Wenchan ran over in a hurry, "Seventh brother, how are you?"
She reached out to touch Xu Guangji's back, Xu Guangji frowned, but pretended to be relaxed, "Your brother is so big, it's just a ball, what can happen!"
Others don't know Xu Guangji, how can Xu Wenchan not know her own brother, she just heard his gasp.
Xu Wenchan was so angry that she looked around the racecourse and saw a man in a royal blue robe running this way. She held her breath, picked up the polo on the ground and strode towards it.
The gentleman in the royal blue robe is the son of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, tall and thin, with a long face and mouse eyes.
He was originally here to pick up the ball, and he apologized by the way, but when he saw Xu Wenchan's aggressive look, his heart suddenly trembled.
When he was hesitating whether to turn his head and run away, Xu Wenchan grabbed the hem of his shirt, stared and cursed, "If you can't play ball, don't come out to embarrass yourself. If you hit someone, will you pay for it?" ?”
Xu Wenchan is not as elegant and reserved as the noble girls in Chang'an City, she has been wielding knives, guns and whips since she was a child!
Although the sapphire blue robe in front of her was tall, but she pulled the collar, like an old woman teaching her son.
Seeing this scene, Tao Ti said, "Wow..."
Achan is really brave.
Young Master Xie also came back to his senses, realizing that if Xu Guangji hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands just now, it would have been his sister who had been smashed. With a straight face, he walked forward and said to Xu Wenchan, "Miss Xu, let me teach him a lesson."
Xu Wenchan turned his head and glanced at Mr. Xie, but he didn't have a good attitude:
It's really Bai Chang who is so tall, he can't protect his younger sister even with the county lord, what a shame!
But she didn't want to get entangled with the sapphire blue robe, so she let go of his lapel, threw the polo at him hard, and then turned back.
Seeing Xu Wenchan's defensive appearance, Xu Guangji was moved, and couldn't help saying, "If my mother sees your fierce appearance just now, I will definitely teach you a lesson."
"It's not for you." Xu Wenchan glared at him, "If you dare to sue, you will die!"
Seeing the pair of living treasure brothers and sisters bickering, Tao Ti hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Let's go to the doctor to have a look first, it might be a serious blow."
Seeing that Qing He was still in shock, he put his arms around her shoulders and comforted her, "It's okay, it was a false alarm."
Xu Guangji looked at the county magistrate who was as soft and cute as a bunny, and for some reason, blurted out, "If you mind if I hug you and affect your reputation, I... I can marry you!"
Xu Wenchan, "????"
Tao Ti, "????"
Qing He, "!!!!"
Xu Guangji's cold and white face was flushed red, but his eyebrows and eyes were full of seriousness, so serious that he was a little naive, "What I said is true."
Xu Wenchan felt his scalp was going to explode, pulled Xu Guangji's sleeve aside, and scolded anxiously, "Brother Seven, did that ball hit your head just now and broke your brain?"
Xu Guangji said seriously, "It didn't hit the head, it only hit the back."
He is tall, if he were Qinghe, he would probably hit her on the head.
Thinking of this, Xu Guangji secretly rejoiced that he blocked it.
Xu Wenchan, "..."
Taking a deep breath, she gritted her teeth and said, "Did you get dizzy because of your mother's urge to marry you? It's the first day you've met the county magistrate, and you're going to marry her. You, you, you... ah, when did you change?" It's so Meng Lang! She is timid, are you trying to frighten her!"
Xu Guangji frowned, a little confused, "Did I scare her?"
Xu Wenchan said, "Nonsense."
Xu Guangji pursed his lips.
Xu Wenchan pulled him, "Let's go, come with me and apologize to her."
Tao Ti had just comforted Qing He, who had been frightened again and again. Seeing the brothers and sisters of the Xu family coming back, Qing He tensed up nervously again. She didn't know whether her fair face was red from the sun or because of the sudden marriage proposal.
Xu Guangji walked up to Qinghe and stood still, lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "County Lord, I was the one who was rude just now."
Qing He bit her lip, her voice was soft, "No, nothing."
Xu Wenchan hurriedly pulled Xu Guangji behind him, smiled apologetically at Qinghe, and pointed to his head, "County Lord, my brother is not good here, he reads in the room every day, and his mind is bored. I Go back and teach him a lesson!"
With that said, she pulled Xu Guangji away first.
Young Master Xie came over to make an apology with his sapphire blue robe. Seeing that the brothers and sisters of the Xu family had disappeared, he was startled, "Where are the two of the Xu family?"
Tao Ti said, "They went back to find the doctor."
Xie Xiaogong replied, he made an apology against Baolan Yipao and Qinghe, and let them go.
Seeing Qinghe's distraught appearance, Tao Ti said to Mr. Xie, "Qinghe might be frightened, you should send her back to rest first."
Xie Xiaogong hurriedly responded, and left with Qinghe, Tao Ti and Linglong also walked back.
The scene of Xu Guangji sacrificing himself to protect Qinghe county lord just now was witnessed by many people on the court. As soon as they left, everyone couldn't help talking—
"Xu Guangji doesn't talk too much when he looks at Wen Crapei, but he didn't expect that his skills are still very good!"
"You don't want to think about whose son he is, Dingbeihou! A tiger father has no dogs! This Xu Guangji, like his six elder brothers, is a fierce general on the battlefield!"
"Who doesn't know that Qinghe County Lord is the jewel in Princess Jingyang's palm, he saved the County Lord this time, good luck."
"Hey, it's a pity that I'm not by Qinghe County Lord's side, otherwise I will definitely rush to save..."
"Hey, what you said sounds good, but it's not because the county head is beautiful, and there are two big backers behind him, the Duke of Jin and the princess..."
On the polo field, there are many young men, and you talk about each other, and the topics become more and more crooked, and finally become ambiguous and muddled words.
Zhou Shaohui, who was sitting not far away, narrowed his triangular eyes when he heard these words, and couldn't help touching his chin—
Leaving aside his identity, the head of Qinghe County is still very good-looking.
That tender little face, that small waist that is too full to grasp, and that frightened little pitiful appearance, the more I think about it, the more itchy my heart becomes.
...
The next day is Yaji Day.
The so-called elegant collection is a gathering of literati and scholars who recite poems and talk about Taoism.
In the elegant and quiet garden, there is a large long table. In addition to tea, wine, flowers, pastries and fruits, there are also elegant objects such as pens, inks, paper and inkstones, books, poetry collections, chessboards, and guqin.
Apart from being somewhat interested in food, Tao Ti is not interested in other things.
Anyway, with her status here, no one present would dare to ask her to recite poems or play the piano to compose music. She just needs to sit and enjoy the flowers and drink tea.
Qinghe and Xu Wenchan also came one after another, because of what happened yesterday, they were still a little embarrassed.
But after chatting for a few words, this little bit of embarrassment quickly melted away.
Not long after, all the nobles and ladies played the game of Qushui Liushang——
The wine glass floats along the water, and whoever floats in front of it will have to compose a poem, and if he can't compose it, he will be punished with wine.
Tao Ti, as the most senior member of the younger generation, sat in the top seat and did not participate in it, only acting as a notary.
The game started to play very quickly, in an orderly manner, with nonsensical poems, sour poems full of rhetoric, and of course, there are also excellent works of literary talent.
For example, Xie Xiaogong, his "Ode to Bamboo" made the hearts of the noble ladies in the room move, and Pei Lingbi couldn't wait to stick her eyes to him.
Another example is Xu Guangji's "Frontier Fortress Ci", the pen and ink are smooth, and the lines between the lines reveal the shadow of swords and swords and the ruthlessness of the battlefield.
The sons were deeply touched by this poem, and they all nodded in praise.
Tao Ti sits high and has a wide perspective.
When she saw Xu Guangji reciting poems, Qinghe raised her eyes quietly, glanced at him quickly, then lowered her head quickly, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Tao Ti raised her brows and was amused by this look of love at the beginning: these two people are interesting.
After a few rounds of games, almost all the people present drank some wine, even if there were none, at last Pei Changzhou raised the wine glass and said something like "Let's have a happy gathering and drink this cup together", and everyone drank it too.
After playing Qushui Liushang, everyone gathered in twos and threes, chatting and enjoying themselves.
Qinghe and Xu Wenchan walked towards Tao Ti arm in arm. Never thought that when a little maid with a teacup passed by, she twisted her foot and fell towards Qing He.
The next moment, a cup of tea was poured into his chest.
"Ah, slave girl deserves to die, slave servant girl deserves to die!" The little girl's face was pale, and she knelt on the ground in panic.
Qinghe's dresses are all light-colored, and the tea is very ugly when the tea is smudged.
Xu Wenchan reprimanded the maid, then frowned and looked at Qinghe, "Hey... it's all wet."
Tao Ti was sitting in the pavilion, seeing the commotion here, and just about to get up, she saw Pei Lingbi walking over.
Pei Lingbi scolded the maid severely, and then looked at Qinghe with concern, "Sister Qinghe, your clothes are all wet, hurry up and change."
Qinghe hangs her head, she is a little girl after all, she is thin-skinned, her clothes are wet in front of so many people, she feels embarrassed, wishing to leave here early, "Well, then I will go back to Xiangzhu Pavilion first."
Pei Lingbi's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly blocked her way, "The Xiangzhu Pavilion where you live is far away from here, and you have to go back and forth. There is Ziying Courtyard in front of you, and there are some clean clothes and dresses for you to change first. stop."
Qinghe hesitated, the place where the gathering was held was indeed some distance away from her residence.
Pei Lingbi warmly persuaded, "Your body is weak, and after wearing wet clothes for a long time, it is easy to catch cold. How about this, I will go with you."
Qing He didn't answer right away, she raised her eyes a little, just in time to see Xu Guangji on the opposite side looking at her.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, she quickly lowered her head lower like a mimosa, and said, "Well, let's go."
The corners of Pei Lingbi's lips twitched, and she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Qing He's hand.
As soon as the two left, Xu Guangji quickly walked up to Xu Wenchan and asked, "Did the county lord get burned? Is she going back? She didn't seem very happy to see me, and she looked away before looking at me. Don't look for another chance to make a solemn apology with her?"
This series of questions made the corners of Xu Wenchan's mouth twitch. After taking a while, she still answered one by one, "The tea is warm, she's going to change her clothes first... As for apologizing, there's no need for it. The county magistrate is not a fussy person, as long as you don't say those strange things again."
Xu Guangji's intense brows and eyes were fixed.
Xu Wenchan ignored him and went straight to Tao Ti.
In the gazebo, Tao Ti rubbed her teacup thoughtfully.
Xu Wenchan came over and muttered, "The county lord has been too unlucky these two days. First, she was almost hit by a polo, and now she was splashed with tea. Is this Zhuyuan Villa overpowering her?"
Hearing this, Tao Ti's heart suddenly sank—
Something is wrong, something is wrong!
One is a coincidence, the second is a coincidence
And this kind of plot of "the little maid splashes water, and the little lady goes to change clothes"... Isn't this a classic routine of house fighting dramas
Thinking of the disgusting plot that followed this routine, Tao Ti couldn't sit still.
She stood up with a flick of her sleeves, her eyes were serious, "Linglong, come with me."
