Chapter 425: A Covenant of Friends
encountered such a brazen and sinister villain, Xiaohuzi felt that if he didn't beat him, he would be sorry for the fist and foot kung fu he had practiced in the early years.
Xiaohuzi had a dark face, approached the little wood step by step, and stretched out his hand menacingly...... Slapped off a dead leaf on his shoulder for the little wood.
The little wood that thought he was going to be beaten: "......"
......
He Linwan was planning to go to Yuan's house to submit a post, and in the past two days, he went to visit Yuanxiang, who was about to get married, and he didn't want to return to He's house in the evening when he received a post from Zhao Qingqing, inviting her to go to the cyclamen teahouse tomorrow.
Early in the morning of the second day, He Linwan went out after asking the Wei family for instructions, and left the two little tails of Xiaohuzi and Xiaomu in the mansion.
The business of the cyclamen teahouse was still very good, and as soon as He Lin got out of the car, he was led straight to the private room on the second floor by the shopkeeper who had been waiting at the door for a long time.
A woman in a light purple collared jacket is sitting at a table by the window making tea, her slightly coquettish side face and lazy and casual posture make it difficult to take her eyes off it.
The woman seemed to notice the arrival of the guest, turned her head to look over, and then smiled.
She didn't get up to greet the guests, but just waved casually and said, "Are you coming? Come and taste the tea soup I brewed myself." ”
He Linwan looked at Zhao Qingqing's familiar appearance, as if there were no five years of time and distance between the two.
He Linwan also smiled, she walked to Zhao Qingqing and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"How does it taste?" Zhao Qingqing asked with a smile on his cheek with one hand.
He Linwan put down the teacup and said bluntly: "I put too much salt, and the taste is a little heavy." ”
Zhao Qingqing also took a sip when he heard this, and then spilled the cup of tea in his hand out of the window, and sighed: "It's really hard to drink, but recently the scholars in Beijing have risen up to make tea, saying that it came from the south, and I don't know what these nerds are thinking. ”
I haven't seen her for a few years, Zhao Qingqing is still so poisonous, He Linwan sighed and smiled.
"Take these down and replace them with tea. Zhao Qingqing said with a smile after giving instructions to the maid, "But then again, if you want to live a peaceful life, you still have to follow the crowd, and it is difficult for a maverick to have a good end." ”
"Why did Sister Zhao say this?"
Zhao Qingqing tilted his head to look at He Lin for a while, smiled lazily, and there seemed to be an imperceptible trace of sadness in his voice, "It's nothing, I think of some things and some people, and I just feel it." By the way, how has Sister He been doing in the past few years?"
Seeing that Zhao Qingqing didn't want to say much, He Lin didn't ask any questions, but replied with a smile: "I'm fine." ”
Zhao Qingqing saw that the maid brought the tea, so he waved the maid away, and raised his hand to pour a cup for He Linwan.
She lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: "It's good to be good, so that you can live up to some people who suffer because of you." ”
He Linwan was stunned, thinking that she was talking about Yuanxiang, and was about to ask a few more questions, but the door of the private room was pushed open again, and a beautiful girl wearing a lake-green makeup and sleeved skirt appeared at the door.
"Sister Zhao, Ah Wan, I'm late. The girl's gaze flickered over the two friends at the table and revealed a soft smile.
"Sister Yuan. He Linwan stood up in surprise.
Yuan Xiang stepped forward and grabbed He Linwan's hand, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "I have grown taller, and I am more beautiful." ”
Zhao Qingqing still sat still, but poured a cup of tea for Yuan Xiang, and said with a smile: "I asked you a few times and you didn't come out, this time I still asked Sister He to see you once, but it was not easy." ”
Yuan Xiang pulled He Linwan to sit down, and said to Zhao Qingqing flatteringly and apologetically: "Good sister, I'm sorry! It's really my grandmother and mother who detained me in the house and didn't let me come out, and this time it was because I hadn't seen Sister He for several years that my grandmother opened up under my pleading." In this way, I'll replace the wine with tea to accompany you, how about you don't remember the villain?"
Zhao Qingqing blocked Yuan Xiang's hand that was about to serve tea, and said angrily: "Go and go, don't waste my good tea, and it's still hot." ”
Yuan Xiang winked at He Linwan slyly, and whispered: "Look, I know that she is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and she is reluctant to blame me." ”
He Linwan couldn't help but be amused by her.
Zhao Qingqing sneered and said: "Yes, you are the one who will be the bride next month, and if I want to see you in the future, I will be separated by the deep courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, am I reluctant to blame you?"
As soon as Zhao Qingqing's words came out, the three of them fell silent.
He Linwan looked at Yuan Xiang and was about to ask, but Yuan Xiang laughed first and joked: "Could it be that if I get married, you won't recognize me as a sister?"
Zhao Qingqing glanced at her and snorted lightly: "I want to recognize you, who knows if the fourth prince will allow it, I heard that his four princes' mansions are especially difficult to enter, and if you don't agree with each other, you will be beaten and thrown out by the porter." ”
Yuan Xiang opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and was a little silent for a while.
He Linwan took the opportunity to ask, "Is the fourth prince in a bad temper?"
He Linwan only knew that the fourth prince had a withdrawn personality, rarely appeared in front of people, and he couldn't find any useful information when he asked someone to investigate, and this person seemed to be transparent.
Zhao Qingqing said: "I don't know if I have a bad temper, I only know that a few days ago, there was an adult who lived near the prince's mansion to marry, because the greeting team went around in front of his mansion one more circle, and the fourth prince may have disturbed his tranquility by blowing and beating the family, so he asked the guards to pull down the groom and throw him out." ”
He Linwan frowned when he heard this.
Yuan Xiang reluctantly said: "Maybe he was in a bad mood that day, and he hadn't heard of the rumors of the four princes bullying people before." ”
Zhao Qingqing never showed mercy when he spoke, and said coldly: "Yes, I have only heard rumors that he forced the former fourth princess to death without saying a word!"
Yuan Xiang's body stiffened when he heard this.
"The former Fourth Princesses were forced to die?" He Linwan frowned and asked, she had already left Beijing when the Fourth Princesses died, and later asked Li Yu to help inquire, but she only heard that the Four Princesses suddenly died a month after entering the door, and Li Yu did not find out that the death of the Four Princes was directly related to the Four Princes.
Yuan Xiang took a deep breath and had a rare serious expression, "No, my eldest brother has checked, and the four princes were not in the mansion at all when the fourth princess died." Sister Zhao, what you heard are just some unfounded rumors. ”
Zhao Qingqing sneered: "Do royal people want people to die and do it themselves?"
