On this day, a classmate of Li Chengze had a happy event at home, so I invited him and his wife to go with him.
Friends, please go out even though it is cold.
Waking up early, Gu Qingci sat in front of the dressing table and got dressed.
Ya prepared the clothes for her. She was wearing a bright yellow short jacket with a slanted front, with a circle of white fluff around the collar and cuffs. The lower skirt was a royal blue horse-face skirt. A red cape with only fox fur.
After breakfast, the two of them took two maids and went out in a carriage.
After arriving at the place, seeing the plaque, Gu Qingci was surprised and said: "Guang Enhou's Mansion, Jiang Family, so it was a post from Mr. Qin to Mr. Xiang."
The maid had already raised the curtain of the car, Li Cheng bent down, and then reached out to help Gu Qingci, making her step on the footstool carefully.
He nodded after hearing this, and said: "Miss Jiang's concubine is going out today."
There are only one or two close friends of his in the academy, and naturally not many will entertain him.
Qin Ran is the son-in-law of the Marquis of Guang En's Mansion, so he is naturally the master. The Jiang Mansion has few people, except for one Mr. Jiang, there are no other men, and the bride's marriage would be lacking in momentum, so Qin Ran invited many friends to boost his momentum.
When the two entered the mansion, they were escorted by their servants.
Jiang's family was originally a wealthy family in the north, and the garden was built in an extremely spectacular manner, covering a very large area.
Today the house is very festive, red silk is tied everywhere, maids and mothers-in-law are busy, people come and go, it is extremely lively.
The male guests belong to the male guests, and the female guests are not treated at the same table as the female guests.
Therefore, Li Chengze and Gu Qingci separated as soon as they entered the door.
The female guest here is Jiang Rou, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, who is Qin Ran's wife.
Jiang Rou is relatively low-key, and rarely participated in poetry, wine and tea parties in the past. Gu Qingci has only met her once, but he still has some impressions.
The Jiang Mansion hosted many honorable guests, and Gu Qingci met many acquaintances.
They turned around and talked together. When other people marry their daughters, they come here to eat, drink and have fun.
Even though Jiang's family married a concubine, but because Jiang's population is thin and there are not many children, there are only two girls in this generation.
One is Jiang Rou, and the other is the concubine who is going to get married today.
There are few children in the family, so treasures are rare. I heard that the mother of this concubine died early, and she grew up under the princess' knees since she was a child. She is no worse than a concubine.
The most lively time is when the man welcomes the bride. Trumpets, suonas, gongs and drums enter the gate of Yue's family with great force, and they have to pass three passes and kill six generals before they can marry the bride.
The noise continued for a while, but Gu Qingci went to the flower hall to have tea with a few girls, and it was too cold this day.
—
Due to Li Chengze's reasons, Luo Shengli's relationship with Qin Ran gradually improved. Qin Ran also invited him this time, counting seven or eight of his classmates from Fengtai Academy.
When Luo Shengli passed the garden of the Jiang family, he didn't know what kind of flowers or leaves were on his hands. He was a little allergic, as if there were little bugs crawling on it. He wanted to bear it, but it got worse and worse. , also red and swollen.
Helpless, Luo Shengli had no choice but to get up, and asked a servant of Jiangfu to ask if there was any ointment for reducing swelling and detoxification, and could he apply it.
The little maid was very busy, and she still had the work ordered by the nanny in her hand, so she could only accuse Luo Sheng, and then pointed out the direction to Luo Sheng, telling him to go to Qianyuan to find a maid named Magpie, saying that Magpie It's in charge of this.
After Luo Shengli thanked him, he went in the direction the maid said.
Just when he came to a fork in the road, he saw Gu Qingci in front of him from afar.
She looked at a garden and walked, and there was no maid beside her.
Luo Shengli was a little strange, afraid that something might happen to her, so after thinking about it, he followed her.
Gu Qingci walked straight ahead, and was about to turn to the other side.
Luo Shengli was worried that she might get lost, so he didn't think too much about it, and walked over at a faster speed.
When he was almost close to the person, he called out: "Cousin—"
"Don't go any further, are you lost? Shanhetang should go east."
The people in front stopped when they heard someone talking behind them.
Then, turn back sideways.
The girl in the red fox fur cloak is very delicate, with a pair of almond eyes that are very charming and clear.
Tilting his head, looking at Luo Shengli, he was a little surprised, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Your lord, are you talking to me?"
But it turned out that this person was not Gu Qingci, but Princess Kangtai.
Luo Shengli was taken aback for a moment before he realized that he had admitted the wrong person.
His eyes swept over the red and white fluffy cloak, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He hurriedly returned a salute respectfully and held his hands together: "I have misunderstood the wrong person, the abrupt princess, and I hope the princess will forgive me."
Kangtai looked at him, and actually guessed the reason.
Remembering that Gu Qingci said that Luo Shengli is a cousin of the Li family, then he should be calling Gu Qingci when he said cousin just now.
"It's okay." Kangtai replied.
At this moment, the bustle is at the front, and the maids and mothers-in-law are naturally doing things at their beck and call. This garden is unexpectedly quiet, and there is not even a single person in sight.
Although there was no one there, Luo Shengli also kept the etiquette, turned half of his body sideways, and did not look directly at the princess.
After pondering for a moment, he still asked: "Why is the princess here alone?"
How could Kangtai have the nerve to say that he was born with a road idiot and didn't know the direction. He just went out to wash his hands and didn't let the maid follow him. He accidentally took a side road, and he didn't know how he got here.
This garden is also the same, no servants are seen, no one asks for directions, Kangtai is bothered, and who knows, he hears a voice.
So he said in a low voice: "Accidentally lost the way, and the servant girl lost it."
Luo Shengli understood, he was very considerate, and said slowly: "I just want to go to the front, the princess can go out with me, and I will avoid it when I see someone."
Kang Tai felt that this person was nice, nodded, then lowered his brows and eyes, and thanked him softly, "Please trouble Mr. Luo."
Luo Shengli turned around and walked forward. Princess Kangtai put some distance away from him, raised the corner of his clothes, and followed slowly.
After walking for a while, Luo Shengli heard an "ah" from behind.
Turning around quickly, she saw Princess Kangtai fell to the ground with her elbows in front of her.
So he walked back in two or three steps, ignoring etiquette to help the other party.
One side said: "Is the princess hurt?"
Kangtai frowned: "There's something here." The raised one tripped her.
While talking, I touched it with my hand, and found that there was something like a piece of iron. It was strange, but I didn’t know what it was, so I just heard a click——
Then, the ground under their feet suddenly cracked, and with a bang and a scream, the two fell down together!
"Bang!" The ground made a loud sound and fell firmly.
But it turned out that this was a very deep hole with a diameter of about two meters. It seemed that Kangtai touched the switch just now and opened the doorway covered in the soil, and then fell down.
Princess Kangtai fell so hard that her eyes were shining, she was so painful that she couldn't make a sound or speak for a long time.
Luo Shengli slowed down first, sat up from the ground with support, and then went to help Lord Kangtai.
"Princess." He called out, and asked again, "Is it okay?"
How can it be good, Kangtai was so painful that tears came out.
It's just that the light at the bottom of the cave is very dark, and she tilted her head so she couldn't see.
When did a princess with a delicate body suffer so much, fall from such a high place, and her face was pale.
My body hurts, and I feel wronged.
It still fell with a strange man, and it was fine if someone saw it, but how could they get out if no one was seen.
Princess Kangtai thought about it in a mess, and felt that her body hurt even more. After sitting up, she covered her elbows and asked with trembling voice: "Mr. Luo, can we go out now?"
Luo Shengli looked up and estimated that the hole was about two feet high.
There is no tool in it, and I am afraid that I can't get out by myself.
He didn't need to answer, the princess could see it by looking up.
Then there was silence.
If you don't make people afraid, you won't be able to get out.
She took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and then continued: "There is no one here since just now, and shouting should be useless, so I can only wait for my maid to come to me."
This is still a good result. If Princess Kangtai's servant girl goes first, she can quietly bring the person up, and this matter can probably be suppressed.
If the servants of the Jiang Mansion find out, as long as the servants keep their mouths shut, it can be remedied.
Princess Kangtai tried her best to think of a better place, and now she only hoped that her maid would find her quickly and rescue herself.
Her elbows, ankles, and wrists were all worn out, and her back was also burning hot, probably from an injury.
Luo Shengli actually noticed that something was wrong with the princess's application, and knew that she was not in good condition, and was probably injured. It's just that he was just a strange man to her, and it was really hard to say anything casually, otherwise Meng Lang would be presumptuous.
In this way, I can only say a few gentle words of comfort: "Don't be afraid, princess, someone should come soon."
However, the two of them seemed to be unlucky. They waited and waited for more than an hour, but no one came over.
Princess Kangtai was so tense that she was already exhausted.
She didn't even care much and sat on the ground.
Thinking about something in his heart, he suddenly felt itchy on the back of his hand, and the princess raised his hand casually to have a look.
But almost fainted from fright, there was another scream, "Bugs, there are bugs!" There was already a cry in the voice.
The princess stood up at once! Then he shook the bug away with his hands, "Don't be afraid." Luo Shengli sighed, and trampled the bug to death.
But the princess seems to have completely collapsed.
Covering his face with his hands, he burst into tears.
The whimpering sound was very pitiful.
Luo Shengli couldn't bear to hear this, and felt sorry for her as a little girl, but there was nothing he could do.
Seeing her keep rubbing the back of her hand that was crawled by bugs just now, after a while, she finally handed over a handkerchief, and said in a warm voice, "Wipe it off."
I don't know whether to ask her to wipe her tears or the back of her hand.
Fortunately, the princess was immersed in her emotions and didn't think too much.
After crying for a long while, after venting, my mood improved a lot.
It's just that the eye sockets are still red.
Princess Kangtai felt a little awkward. She was seen by a man looking ugly, and her thoughts were not in a mess.
Thinking about it, I realized that the other party seemed to be looking at me.
The princess subconsciously wiped away her tears with the handkerchief on her hand, then raised her head, feeling a little uncomfortable, and asked, "Mr. Luo?"
Luo Shengli opened his mouth, but said nothing.
His eyes fell on the girl's shoulders, and then back to his face, he paused for a few seconds, and then he called out: "Princess..."
Princess Kangtai looked puzzled, "Huh? What's the matter."
Luo Shengli didn't say anything.
After a moment, he raised his right hand and landed on the princess's right shoulder.
Princess Kangtai was startled, her face darkened, she reached out to push Luo Shengli, and said angrily, "What are you doing, Mr. Luo!"
Luo Shengli's hand moved away, and the Princess' eyes fell on it unintentionally.
Then she saw.
Between Luo Shengli's index finger and middle finger, there was a finger-length, dark, moving centipede.
The princess's mind went blank, her body went limp, she closed her eyes and passed out.
