"Tap Tat Tat..."
Seven fine horses galloped in the racecourse and circled around the edge of the racecourse. Among them, five tall horses were far ahead, and a white horse and a slightly shorter red horse were far behind.
"Woo--"
Nangong Xin pulled the reins, and the black horse gradually slowed down, and finally stopped by the gazebo beside the racecourse. Behind him is a dark cloud treading snow, a white horse and two brown horses, who are only less than one horse body away from him, and they also "sigh" slow down, while Nangong Yue's black Dawan BMW A little worse than the four of them, but still catching up.
"Master Yaoguang County, your riding skills are really good!" Chen Quying, who was on one of the brown horses, praised without hesitation, while speaking, she glanced at Nangong Xin in surprise.
Originally, when she first saw Nangong Xin, Chen Quying felt a little pity that this young man was mentally weak, but she never thought that his riding skills were so good. Although they were not racing horses and they didn't try their best, but seeing Nangong Xin's appearance, they were able to do a job with ease and enjoy themselves very much. If we really compare it, I'm afraid the ending will be hard to say!
Nangong Yue jumped off the horse skillfully, and was about to speak. At this moment, she heard a "wow--", and the white horse and the red horse, which had drawn a long distance from the crowd, finally arrived. They are Jiang Yixi and Yuan Yuyi respectively. Yuan Yuyixiang on the red horse said sweatingly: "Yue'er, your riding skills are really good, but you have been learning for many years?"
Nangong Xin proudly rushed ahead of Nangong Yue and replied: "My sister has not learned how to ride a horse for half a year!"
At the same time, Xiao Yi who was not far away also jumped down from his dark cloud riding snow, and said proudly: "Stinky girl can ride so well, it's all because of his enlightenment master who taught him well." The so-called famous teachers produce high-level apprentices!
"Yue'er, you have only been learning for half a year?" Yuan Yuyi whispered in disbelief, "I have been learning for several years, and I am not as good as you." Yuan Yuyi actually knows her own problem, although she will Riding a horse, but because of her timidity, she always dare not gallop the horse. Letting the horse trot like just now is her limit.
In comparison, Jiang Yixi was much better, but she was only worried that she would not dare to run, so she deliberately lagged behind to match her horse speed.
Nangong Yue smiled and said: "Sister Yi, I have been riding for at least one hour a day for the past six months. There is an old saying that goes well, there is no one else in everything, only the hand is familiar with it!"
"Sister Yue, what you said is good." Jiang Yixi looked at Nangong Yue with admiration, only thinking that her little sister Yue was usually gentle and cute, but now she was very heroic in this riding outfit. vitality.
"Yue'er, I have been riding for so many years, and it took me more time than you who have only been riding for half a year." Yuan Yuyi said with emotion, "It seems that this has something to do with talent!"
Nangong Yue froze for a moment, nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, my brother learned how to ride a horse later than me, but he is better than me."
As soon as she said this, everyone's surprised eyes fell on Nangong Xin. Although Nangong Yue can ride well, but if you look carefully, you will find a trace of beginner's rigidity, but Nangong Xin can't see a trace of it. His riding posture is so natural and skillful, as if he is one with the horse. Learned less than half a year
In fact, Nangong Yue was also amazed at the beginning, Nangong Xin is so talented in riding, his father only taught him twice, he dared to trot alone on the horse, his body naturally found the rhythm of the horse, and followed It bumped up and down...even Dad was surprised. This may be because my brother is simple-minded, he doesn't think as much as ordinary people like them, and he likes to get close to animals by nature, so he quickly found a way to get along with horses.
Horseback riding soon became one of the favorite pastimes of the two siblings. Although she always lost to her brother, she was willing to...
All the people present are not stupid, they are all thoughtful.
Although it is autumn now, the sun is still shining. Yuan Yuyi took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I'm a little tired, I'll go to the gazebo to rest for a while. Sister Xi, Yue'er, what do you think?"
Jiang Yixi also wiped the thin sweat from his forehead with a pink handkerchief, nodded and said in agreement: "I also have to rest for a while."
"Brother, Sister Xi and Sister Yi, I and I are going to rest for a while." Nangong Yue looked at Nangong Xin gently and said, "Do you want to ride for a while?"
Nangong Xin looked at Nangong Yue hesitantly, and then at the black horse he was sitting on. He hadn't really enjoyed riding it yet. But his father and mother often told him to take care of his younger sister. He leaves his sister now and goes riding alone, okay
"Axin... I'm a few years older than you, so I'll call you Axin." A boy in a moon-white riding suit controlled a white horse and walked to Nangong Xin's black horse with a chic posture.
It was Yuan Lingbai who spoke.
As soon as he said it, he attracted several strange eyes. Yuan Yuyi, Chen Quying and Tian Lianhe who were familiar with him all knew that he was definitely not the type who was so enthusiastic about strangers, unless he had other plans...
Yuan Lingbai was not as dull as a cow, of course he felt the deep meaning in everyone's eyes, and felt extremely innocent in his heart. Of course he didn't want to look for trouble, and it wasn't all because of his mother.
That day, after sending out the post to Nangong Mansion, Princess Yuncheng asked someone to summon him, saying that she not only invited County Lord Yaoguang in the invitation, but also invited the direct relatives of County Lord Yaoguang. Nangong Xin, the older brother of his brother, told him to make the two brothers and sisters feel at home. She also added by the way, saying that Nangong Xin was mentally deficient, which made him somewhat mentally prepared.
Yuan Lingbai was dumbfounded at the time!
Mentally deficient? What exactly is mentally deficient? He, the second master of the Princess Yuncheng's mansion, has never dealt with such a person. But, no matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do. His mother had already invited people, and the Lord Yaoguang even cured his own sister, Zi Yi, in the face. It was reasonable to entertain the two brothers and sisters.
It's just that he's a little confused about how to entertain them.
But the princess who was as casual as Yuncheng didn't care about her son's embarrassment at all, and sent Yuan Lingbai away with a wave of her hand.
Yuan Lingbai who came out of Ronghuaju almost didn't go crazy, invited someone capriciously, and then threw it to him directly. He really wanted to ask his dear mother, is it really okay to do so
In short, he has been very unlucky recently! Yuan Lingbai decided to wait until he passed this test, and he had to go to Bailong Temple to burn incense sticks!
Yuan Lingbai thought for a while, and finally made a decision. First of all, on the day of the horse race, those who have no wink should definitely not be invited to the Princess Mansion. After thinking about it, in addition to Xiao Yi, Yuan Lingbai invited Chen Quying and Tian Lianhe; Bai Ye deliberately mentioned something to his sister implicitly, telling her not to invite anyone else except Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi.
His deliberation was really not in vain, Jiang Yixi, Chen Quying and Tian Lianhe are really very winking people, none of them cast any strange eyes on Nangong Xin, so today's small gathering has been very smooth so far...
Of course, he also admits that although Nangong Xin is a bit clumsy, she is handsome and innocent, and she is innocent but not stupid.
What he didn't expect was that Nangong Xin's riding skills were so good, he was surprised and relieved. I am not afraid of people being stupid, but I am afraid of people being useless. Since Nangong Xin is good at riding, I can guarantee to make him feel at home!
Naturally, Nangong Xin knew nothing about it.
"Okay." Nangong Xin nodded, "Then I'll call you..." He suddenly remembered that Nangong Yue had told him in detail about the Princess Yuncheng's mansion before going out. . "Second Brother Yuan?" As he spoke, he glanced at Nangong Yue uncertainly, seeing his younger sister nodded to him with certainty, and finally felt relieved. Fortunately, I remember correctly.
"Ah Xin, it's boring to be with these girls, we'd better go horseback riding." Yuan Lingbai said enthusiastically, "Let's run around again and see who can run faster and who wins..." He He frowned slightly, thinking that he didn't know what would be the best choice for the lottery. If the lottery was too small, it wouldn't be interesting. If the lottery was too big, he was afraid that Nangong Xin would not be able to afford it.
His gaze finally fell on Dahei and Xiaobai who were lying on the ground not far away.
The dog and the cat were extremely calm, yawning lazily, and Xiao Bai was still licking his front paws slowly.
Yuan Lingbai's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Dahei and said, "If you lose, give me your hunting dog. If I lose, how about finding a famous dog for your hunting dog as a wife?" He said complacently I think it's a great idea.
But he didn't think about it, Nangong Xin vetoed it without hesitation: "No!" After a pause, he added, "Dahei is my dog, you can't give it away!"
Yuan Lingbai didn't expect him to react like this at all, he didn't know how to respond for a while, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
"I don't think so?" Xiao Yi suggested with a smile, "If Xiaobai loses, give Dahei a dog lady; if Axin loses, then when Dahei has a puppy, how about giving one to Xiaobai? "He directly called A Xin to Nangong Xin, his tone was very affectionate, as if he had known him for a long time, and it also attracted Chen Quying's strange eyes.
Nangong Xin finally smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
Yuan Lingbai finally heaved a sigh of relief, and thought: Fortunately, we didn't fail. Thinking about it again, I felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this bet.
Xiao Yi didn't allow him to think too much, and said again: "Count me into one. If I lose, how about giving A Xin a famous horse?" He had just watched Nangong Xin and Yuan Lingbai's riding skills, and he thought About 90% sure that Yuan Lingbai will lose, as for himself, he just needs to put water on the brat's brother once. If the elder brother is happy, the stinky girl should be happy too.
Nangong Xin didn't respond for a while, tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yi, his black and white eyes blinked, and suddenly said: "Have I seen you before? Your voice sounds so familiar..." He wrinkled A handsome face.
Xiao Yi's eyes lit up immediately, and he remembered the time when he pretended to be a ghost with Nangong Yue to scare Nangong Xin in order to treat him. Unexpectedly, after more than a year, Nangong Xin still remembered it. Who said his brother-in-law was stupid? He's obviously very smart, okay
"Ah Xin, it must be because of our predestined relationship in previous lives!" Xiao Yi hit the snake on the stick without any guilt, and said cordially, "You can call me A Yi from now on." He is one year older than Nangong Xin, but it is hard to say who will be called the eldest brother in the future.
"Okay, Ayi." Nangong Xin nodded innocently.
Xiao Yi's attitude was so kind that Tian Lianhe almost dropped his eyes in shock. He looked at Xiao Yi and then at Yuan Lingbai. He always felt that these two people were a little weird today. Did he take the wrong medicine? But he thought winkingly: Since Brother Xiao Yi is so kind to Nangong Xin, then his attitude should be more considerate...
Xiao Yi turned his head to Nangong Yue as if nothing had happened, and said, "May I ask the county magistrate to call the password for us?"
Nangong Yue naturally agreed.
Chen Quying narrowed her eyes, smiled thoughtfully and said, "Then Brother Tian and I will be the referee for you."
Three tall horses stood side by side on the starting line. After Nangong Yue shouted from "one" to "three", she saw the whip flying and the horses galloped out.
The horseshoes galloped like a startled swallow, and the dust flew up.
Three teenagers in fresh clothes and angry horses are like a picture of a wild horse racing.
For a moment, Nangong Yue was almost bewildered, and a layer of mist appeared in the corner of her eyes. It's great to see such a brother...
"Sister Yue, how about we rest in the gazebo and watch their games?"
At Jiang Yixi's suggestion, Nangong Yue and Yuan Yuyi hid in the pavilion with her. Xiaobai yelled "meow", and rubbed the corner of Nangong Yue's skirt, Nangong Yue stretched out her hand to hug it.
Yuan Yuyi looked at Xiaobai enviously and said: "Yueer, your Xiaobai is really good and courageous. I remember once I brought Xueqiu to sister Xi's house, but Xueqiu was frightened. I almost lost it..." After that, Yuan Yuyi didn't dare to take the snowball out of the house for a walk.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiaobai in her arms, this stupid cat seemed to have the characteristic of being ignorant and fearless since she was a child, she dared to provoke Xiao Yi when she was a child, and later on she had no fear of Dahei... It is really amazing to be able to live safely until now Not easy!
"Sister Yi, do you want to hug it?" Nangong Yue asked with a smile.
Yuan Yuyi was about to nod, but when she heard the familiar "meow", a long-haired white fat cat lightly jumped to her side from behind. Yuan Yuyi was taken aback, Xueqiu had always been domineering, her mother had raised other cats before, but they were all bullied by him, and finally became the only domineering cat in the Princess Mansion.
But who would have thought that after the two white cats sized each other up and sniffed each other, they played together, frolicking for a while, and licking each other's fur for a while, and they were so harmonious that Yuan Yuyi could see Really interesting.
"They're almost finished!" Jiang Yixi yelled, and turned their attention back to the three horses on the racetrack.
At this time, the three people who were almost walking side by side had opened up the distance, but the farthest was only a horse's length... The three horses broke through the finish line in the final sprint, and Nangong Xin ranked first. Xiao Yi was only a horse's head behind him, while Yuan Lingbai was nearly a horse's body behind.
After that, the three tightened their reins and slowed down their horses.
"Ah Xin, you have won today." Yuan Lingbai is a person who can afford to lose, without showing a trace of annoyance on his face, he said straightforwardly, "Give me a month, and I will definitely find you a good wife for Dahei." "He said with a smile, thinking it was quite interesting. While speaking, he quickly glanced at Xiao Yi, always a little suspicious that he let the water go.
After all, Xiao Yi didn't become their eldest brother for nothing, it seemed that he lost too easily this time...
Could it be that…
In an instant, Yuan Lingbai suddenly realized that the candidate for his future "sister-in-law" was not Miss Jiang, but County Lord Yaoguang! So Xiao Yi was trying to curry favor with his future brother-in-law
The more Yuan Lingbai thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and finally realized that there was something wrong with Xiao Yi's bet for Nangong Xin. win?!
Yuan Lingbai felt that he was the truth, and he despised Xiao Yi, a scheming and protective guy!
Rejected, Yuan Lingbai still said very enthusiastically: "Ah Xin, anyway, we are so familiar, so don't call me the second son of Yuan, just call me Xiaobai." I hope that the elder brother will see it for the face of the future brother-in-law, and he will beat himself up a few times in the future.
To Nangong Xin, the name is just a title, it doesn't matter whether it is "Yuan Ergongzi" or "Xiaobai". Hearing this, he nodded vigorously and said: "Okay, Xiaobai!"
The more the others looked at it, the more confused they became, and they thought: What happened to the former second son
But Yuan Yuyi knew a little bit in her heart: what her mother, Princess Yuncheng, said to her second brother, she also said to herself, but it was a warning to her second brother, but a kind word to herself.
However, even if my mother had warned me, with my second brother's temper, he wouldn't be so considerate. What's going on...
This morning, both the host and the guest were definitely happy. After lunch at the Princess Mansion, everyone said goodbye.
Nangong Xin left in Nangong Yue's Zhulun car, including Dahei and Xiaobai. In the carriage, Nangong Xin was still in high spirits, her cheeks were flushed, and she couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear: "Sister, today was really interesting! Can we go to Xiaobai's house to ride horses in the future?"
"Of course!" Nangong Yue said affirmatively, "Even if the original Second Young Master doesn't invite you, you can still invite him."
With this invitation from Princess Yuncheng first, there will be invitations to the Nangong family in the future, no one will miss my brother, and they will even add it on purpose. After all, it would be hard for other mansions not to invite people who even Princess Yuncheng kindly invited.
After going back and forth like this, Grandmother Su would no longer have the opportunity to hide her brother in the mansion and not let anyone see her. As for the brother who wants to invite someone to the mansion, and the one who invites is the youngest son of Princess Yuncheng, I am afraid that it is too late for grandma to be happy, so how can she not agree
Nangong Yue raised the corners of her lips. Compared with the four words "Hui Zhi Lan Xin" bestowed by the emperor on the request of Princess Yuncheng, there is no doubt that this invitation is what she values the most.
It was the first time Nangong Xin had friends other than relatives, her smile became brighter, and she nodded vigorously: "I'll tell mother when I get back!"
The two brothers and sisters talked happily, and even Yimei, Baihui and Nangongxin's maid Qingya were all smiling when they heard it.
During the conversation, the carriage passed by a busy street. Hearing the noise outside, Nangong Xin curiously opened a corner of the curtain and looked out. While watching, she excitedly said to Nangong Yue:
"Sister! They sell candied haws there!"
"Sister! I saw a paper kite, what a big eagle!"
"Sister! Look, the people there are kneading dough!"
…
Nangong Yue looked at him with a smile, and echoed from time to time, but at this moment, Nangong Xin suddenly let out a little surprise, turned around and said, "Sister, it's Auntie and Sister Liu!"
Nangong Yue froze for a moment, followed Nangong Xin to open the curtains and looked across the street, just in time to see two familiar figures walking into the Jinyu shop Yuhuangxuan together.
Nangong Yue was not mistaken, it really was Zhao Shi and Liu Qingqing!
But, why are the two of them together? Nangong Yue is very aware of how disgusted Zhao is towards Liu Qingqing...
Not only Nangong Yue couldn't figure it out, Liu Qingqing was also confused.
She was originally reading in her own room today, but Zhao Shi suddenly sent a maid to look for her. One time, he greeted her very graciously to accompany him to the gold and jade shop.
Liu Qingqing had no reason to refuse, so she could only come out together.
Along the way, Mrs. Zhao was very affectionate to her. Although Liu Qingqing should be happy to change Mrs. Zhao's attitude towards her, she had an indescribably weird feeling, always feeling that something was wrong.
Until she stepped into the gate of Yuhuangxuan, the weirdness in Liu Qingqing's heart still didn't lessen, but her face didn't reveal a bit, and she walked about half a step behind Zhao Shi with a dignified manner.
Yuhuangxuan is the most famous gold and jade shop in the capital, and the people who come in and out are luxuriously dressed dignitaries and noble ladies from aristocratic families. The shop was decorated elegantly and luxuriously, and pieces of exquisite jewelry heads were placed on the glazed counter.
While Mrs. Zhao brought Liu Qingqing into the shop, she observed Liu Qingqing's expression and behavior without any trace.
If it was a child from an ordinary poor family, if he entered this Yuhuang Pavilion, he would be somewhat timid, looking shabby and shameful.
But Liu Qingqing was different. Although she wore simple clothes, she didn't feel inferior at all. When she saw those expensive jewelry, there was only a touch of appreciation in her eyes, not a bit of envy and greed.
At this time, even Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but sigh in her heart: If Liu Qingqing's family background had not declined, she might not have been an excellent candidate for a daughter-in-law.
But…
Zhao's heart softened for a moment, and then hardened again.
Nothing and anyone can compare with her brother Cheng's future!
Brother Cheng is her only son, and also the eldest son of Nangong Mansion. He will inherit the entire Nangong Mansion in the future. How can a girl like Liu Qingqing ruin her future
Therefore, Liu Qingqing's trouble must be solved!
Zhao's eyes flashed, and then he affectionately pulled Liu Qingqing to the glazed counter on the right, glanced left and right casually, pointed to one of the white jade distractions and said: "Miss Qing, what do you think of this jade distraction? "
I saw that the white jade was distracted from the top-grade white jade to make extremely delicate flower leaves and petal-shaped supports. The stamens were embedded with hibiscus stones, purple fluorites, malachites, moonstones, sapphires, etc., which were smaller than rice grains. And gorgeous.
Liu Qingqing nodded, the style of this jewelry is obviously more suitable for the girl, so she responded cautiously: "This white jade is transparent and exquisitely crafted, it must be very beautiful to wear on sister Cheng's head."
The corner of Zhao's mouth hooked up, but she was not in a hurry, she nodded and said: "Miss Qing has really good eyesight, this jade will be very good to wear on Miss Cheng's head." Following her, she told the maid beside her, Let her tell the shopkeeper to leave this jade for them to distract.
Mrs. Zhao continued to pull Liu Qingqing forward to move a glazed counter, and pointed lightly with her plain hand: "Sister Qing, what do you think of this jasper phoenix hairpin?"
The jasper phoenix hairpin is emerald green, transparent and warm in color, and it is carved from a whole piece of high-quality jasper. The body of the hairpin is carved with a lifelike colorful phoenix, and a lotus flower blooms on the head of the hairpin, which is completely natural.
Before Liu Qingqing could use the hairpin, she thought that Mrs. Zhao was going to buy it for herself, so she nodded and said, "It's ingenious, elegant and generous."
The corner of Zhao's lips twitched, and she said softly: "Miss Qing, I remember that you will be getting the hairpin next year, why don't auntie give you this hairpin?"
Liu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, she always felt that Mrs. Zhao was being courteous for nothing and must have something in mind, so she refused: "Aunt Nangong, Qingqing..."
Mrs. Zhao took her hand, patted it lightly and said, "Miss Qing, are you still angry with your aunt?"
Zhao's words made Liu Qingqing dumbfounded, so she could only reply: "Qingqing dare not."
"Then accept it, and act as an aunt to apologize to you for what happened last time."
After Mrs. Zhao said so, Liu Qingqing really had no reason to refuse, so she could only thank her and accept the valuable jasper and phoenix hairpin.
Mrs. Zhao seemed satisfied. With a smile on her face, she led Liu Qingqing around the Yuhuang Pavilion for a long time, bought some jewelry for herself and Nangong Cheng, and finally decided to return home satisfied.
Surrounded by the maids, the two walked towards the carriage together.
A maid first helped Mrs. Zhao into the car, and just as Ziying was about to help Liu Qingqing get into the car, a middle-aged woman suddenly shouted angrily from the front right: "Where is the beggar coming from! Rampage..."
Liu Qingqing's movements couldn't help but stagnate for a moment, and she intuitively looked in the direction of the sound, only to see two ragged, unkempt beggars rushing towards the carriage with their right hands holding white flour steamed buns, and a fat man behind them was angrily He chased after him: "Damn beggar, how dare you steal my steamed buns, if you catch you, you will be brought to the court!"
"Girl, be careful!" Ziying yelled in shock, and hurriedly stepped forward to block Liu Qingqing's front, thinking to herself: Don't let these dirty beggars bump into her girl.
But in the next moment, she let out a low cry, and was hit hard by the previous beggar and fell to the ground. And another beggar in the back was rushing towards Liu Qingqing. Liu Qingqing's pretty face turned pale, and she wanted to back sideways. An urgent voice came from behind.
"Miss Liu, be careful!"
Liu Qingqing recognized it was Zhao Ziang's voice, she frowned slightly, and quickly glanced back, only to see Zhao Ziang rushing towards her with a worried face. Seeing that his hands were about to embrace her, Liu Qingqing's pretty face froze, her right hand hurriedly supported the carriage, stabilized her body, and dodged sideways.
Zhao Zi'ang stretched out his hands in a daze, stood like a fool, and said in his heart that it was a pity, if he went to help Liu Qingqing at this time, it would be too suspicious, and he could only withdraw his hand embarrassingly.
Ziying crawled up reluctantly, hurried over to help Liu Qingqing, and asked worriedly: "Girl, are you not scared?"
"I'm fine." Liu Qingqing smiled reluctantly at Ziying, then thanked Zhao Ziang, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your help!"
"You're welcome! Zhao didn't do much to help." Zhao Ziang responded politely, "It's as long as the girl is fine."
"Thank you Mr. Zhao for your concern. I'll take my leave first." Liu Qingqing saluted again, and then got into the carriage with Ziying's support.
Seeing her coming up, Mrs. Zhao, who was sitting in the carriage, hurriedly asked with concern: "Miss Qing, are you okay?" She was like an elder who was worried about the younger generation, holding Liu Qingqing's hand, carefully sized up.
"I'm fine!" Liu Qingqing said with a gentle smile on her face, "Thank you, Auntie, for your concern!"
"It's fine, it's fine." Zhao asked in a slightly relieved look, "Is Ang Geer the one outside?"
"Aunt, it's my little nephew." Zhao Ziang saluted respectfully, "My little nephew happened to go to the bookstore today to buy some old books, and I didn't expect to meet my aunt's car."
Mrs. Zhao nodded in satisfaction: "Brother Ang, it's great that you are so eager to learn."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhao Ziang left.
The carriage started to move forward with a rattling sound, Mrs. Zhao patted Liu Qingqing's hand, and said with fear: "In the past, there were not so many beggars in the king's capital. Those two must be refugees from Huaibei. Fortunately, Brother Ang Here it is, if I bump into you accidentally, it will be fine!"
Liu Qingqing lowered her eyes, the series of things that just happened echoed in her mind, and she responded obediently: "Yes, fortunately, Mr. Zhao came in time."
Having said that, she always felt a little strange in her heart: last time, the refugees in Huaibei heard from her brother that they were being sent back to their original places one after another, and the imperial court also dealt with those corrupt officials. Although the specific details are not something she can find out as a woman in her boudoir, she always feels that these two beggars have nothing to do with the refugees in Huaibei. And they appeared too inexplicably, and Zhao Ziang... Is this really just a coincidence
Liu Qingqing frowned involuntarily.
Mrs. Zhao nodded with a smile on her face and said: "Yes, it's really a coincidence. This can be regarded as fate." She looked at Liu Qingqing's expression, but saw that the other party's expression was calm, her eyes were indifferent, and she didn't show her little daughter's shyness at all. Embarrassed.
Mrs. Zhao was a little disappointed, but she continued without giving up: "Among the many nephews in my natal family, only Ang Ge'er is the most outstanding. They are all first-class in appearance and knowledge. Maybe Chunwei will be named on the gold list this time. , This can be regarded as honoring the lintel of our Zhao family."
Liu Qingqing took advantage of the opportunity to congratulate and said: "If that's the case, then I really have to congratulate Auntie."
Mrs. Zhao praised endlessly: "Not to mention the appearance and talent, our Ang Ge'er's character is also first-class and outstanding, and all the elders in the clan praise him, even the governor of my hometown Qingzhou is also very rewarding when he sees it !"
Liu Qingqing thought that Mrs. Zhao wanted to show off their Zhao family's children, so she smiled and congratulated Mrs. Zhao: "That's really a congratulations to my aunt Zhao's family for having such a talented and clean son. Mr. Zhao is so outstanding, no wonder my aunt looked at him. Rejoice, boast and boast."
What Liu Qingqing said was obviously a compliment, but Mrs. Zhao felt it was extremely weird when she heard it. After savoring it carefully, her face suddenly changed.
Mrs. Zhao praised Zhao Ziang for his good knowledge, and also praised him for his good character and clean conduct. Those who don't care, just think that she is simply praising her junior, and those who are more thoughtful, wouldn't they think that she intends to recruit Zhao Ziang as a son-in-law.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao's whole body is in a bad mood, and she has no intention of teasing Liu Qingqing anymore.
Liu Qingqing saw that Mrs. Zhao's mood suddenly faded. Although she didn't know the reason, she was glad that her ears were finally quiet.
After returning to Nangong Mansion, Mrs. Zhao didn't keep her any longer, and dismissed her hastily.
That night, Liu Qingqing, full of doubts, rested early under Ziying's service.
Today's trip, one play after another, Liu Qingqing's spirit was extremely tense, and after returning to Hefengyuan, he felt exhausted, so he fell asleep immediately as soon as he lay down.
When the moon was in the mid-heaven, the Hefeng Courtyard was silent, and everyone fell asleep...
No one knew that a petite figure walked up to the door of Liu Qingqing's room, and seeing no one around, she gently pushed the door open and tiptoed into the room without making a sound from the beginning to the end. .
Under the moonlight, she walked to Liu Qingqing's dressing table, and saw a purse that Liu Qingqing had made on it, she immediately showed joy, picked up the purse and turned around to leave, but she didn't expect that Liu Qingqing, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly Turning over, she turned her face to the outside of the bed, frightened her so that her body froze for an instant, she stood still and didn't dare to move, thinking: It's over!
After quite a while, seeing that Liu Qingqing's eyes were still closed tightly and there was no sign of waking up, she breathed a sigh of relief, then tiptoed out of Liu Qingqing's room, closed the door gently, and walked out cautiously. After entering the Lotus Wind Academy, this is really a relief!
She finally lived up to her mission!
She looked down at the purse in her hand, and quickly ran towards the west door.
Outside the door on the west side, there was a young boy in blue looking around anxiously. When he saw a little maid running over panting, his eyes lit up instantly.
When the little servant girl came to her, the servant hurriedly asked, "Have you got it?"
"Of course!" With a smile on her face, the little servant girl handed a purse to the boy, "Give it to your son!"
The young servant looked at the exquisitely crafted purse, smiled too, and said obsequiously, "Thank you sister this time!" As he spoke, he stuffed a silver nude into the little maid's hand.
The little maid accepted it with a smile, looked around vigilantly, and then cautiously left the side door.
