Chapter 135: Schadenfreude
When Yu Dana talked about the Huang family's wedding banquet, he was afraid that Qiao Lan would feel uncomfortable, so he first mentioned a few words carefully, and saw that she didn't mind at all, so he said it calmly.
Huang Congren's wife was indeed his cousin Li Mei, but it is worth mentioning that yesterday, when Huang Congren was in the church, he fainted directly.
"Fainted?!" Qiao Lan's surprised voice was full of schadenfreude, "Yo, if your body is like this, can you still have a cave room?"
"Ahem, cough, cough!" Yu Dana's old face was not covered by Qiao Lan's mouth, and he was blushing. Fortunately, Qiao Lan is still dressed in men's clothes, which is visually acceptable, otherwise, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl's family is really skinless and faceless. , "Huang Congren's body is good and bad, but it has become worse and worse in the past two months, and the Huang family is in a hurry to let him get married." Last time and the master...... Eh, Chongxi has become, so the Huang family thinks that if Chongxi is done again, it will be fine. ”
"Heh, more than two months ago, you posted a post to invite me to enjoy chrysanthemums, so soon, it won't work?" The expression on Qiao Lan's face was all pity, "Didn't you have to read the eight characters, then Li Mei's eight characters are also suitable?" "Since it is suitable, why didn't you let Li Mei marry Chong Xi in the first place, or did the woman not agree? Since the woman didn't agree at the beginning, why did she agree now?"
"It is said to be a match made in heaven, but the details are unknown. ”
"Heh, a match made in heaven, I hope it ......" Qiao Lan was looking forward to the further development of things. "The Huang family didn't beat Chen again...... Eh, hit my idea?" she herself and the deity were so clear that she forgot for a moment that she was Chen Yuehe, and Chen Yuehe was her.
Yu Dana and Ye Feitian, who were present, didn't care about Qiao Lan's slip of the tongue. Yu Dana replied. "As far as I know, no!"
Qiao Lan motioned for Yu Dana to continue to report to others, and he talked about the two monks in the Big Buddha Temple, Qiao Lan asked him to arrange it in the past two days, and invited them to come to Qiao's house to do a ritual to pray for blessings, and the location was set in the front yard.
At the same time, in Yang's house, Feng Er was also reporting to Feng Qixiang about the discovery of this trip to Changzhou. Because he didn't follow Qiao Lan too closely, he didn't find much, but he only knew a rough idea.
Feng Qixiang after his elaboration. He muttered, "Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors." Then vigorously support the clans...... But where he came from before could not be found...... You said his mother's surname is Hua?"
That's what Gongzi Qiao said. ”
"There are very few people with the surname Hua in the country, you can check along this line. ”
"Yes!" Feng Er replied, Feng Qixiang did not let him go down. So he didn't move. Feng Qixiang was indeed a little hesitant to follow his orders. His tangle. Feng Yi, who had been standing next to him as a background, saw it. Stand up at the right time, "Why is the young master troubled?"
"I ......" Feng Qixiang looked at Feng Yi and removed the tangled on his face. Shaking his head, he looked at Feng Er again, "You go down first." I continued to follow him and protect him well for a while. ”
"My subordinates understand!"
After Feng Er left, Feng Yi opened his mouth and asked, "Master, why don't you take the opportunity to do it." Feng Qixiang paused and gave a reason, "No, he's too smart." ”
This reason, let alone Feng Yi, even if he is himself, he can't convince him. Feng Qixiang did have the idea of pushing the boat down the river and robbing while the fire was in his mind, but for some reason, he intuitively couldn't do that, and as for why, he didn't delve into it, and he didn't dare to investigate it deeply.
Feng Qixiang was annoyed that he had become so kind to a woman, but it was undeniable that after dispelling that thought, his tense body relaxed in that moment.
The next day, Qiao Lan was about to go to the West Bank to have a look, and there was another visitor to the house, the forest trees of Lishan County.
When he arrived at Qiao's house, he was startled when he saw Qiao Lan wearing a mask. He didn't have any thoughts, and he couldn't hide his words in his heart, so he asked Qiao Lan why he was wearing a mask, and the latter said without changing his face: I'm afraid of attracting bees and butterflies.
When Lin Mu heard this, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and laughed dryly, "Hehe, I'm really embarrassed for you." ”
Lin Mu came to greet Qiao Lan this time.
On the old firewood's side, a thousand round-the-clock tables have been made, and the remaining five hundred are still in progress. Lin Mu, as the forward, was going to take a boat north to the capital in Wuli Town, and there was also the table king proposed by Qiao Lan to go north.
Qiao Lan was very interested in the finished table king, and immediately wanted to go to the dock with Lin Mu to see the finished table king, but he didn't expect that he had already brought the table king, just outside the door. He just wanted to show Qiao Lan and then load the ship north.
The parts of the table king are brought in, and the other components are much more dexterous than the wide tabletop. It can be said that if you don't assemble it, you can't see what the hell this thing is.
In the courtyard of the backyard, Lin Mu and three carpenters quickly assembled the table king.
Qiao Lan had already seen the table king who was completed but not carved, and now she was still shocked when she saw the table king after the real completion. She felt that Li Da was really a ghost, and he could carve a table like a sculptural one.
On the desktop, some smooth shallow grooves, outlining a few full and vivid peonies, or open or closed, each has a different posture, but the shallow groove does not respond to the placement of the dishes and chopsticks, the most interesting thing is the four table legs, although they are also peonies, but those are embossed, it seems, one by one lifelike, full of vitality. Very smooth on the turntable without any engravings.
Qiao Lan tried to turn the turntable and found that the turntable was very smooth and there was no sound.
She couldn't put it down at the table, where is this table, it's a treasure of art, I really want to stay and forget it.
"What price does this have to be sold for?"
Lin Mu approached Qiao Lan and whispered, "Originally, the master said that it would be three thousand taels, and the one with the highest price would get it, but a few days ago, someone came and left 10,000 taels! Lin Mu calmed down, if this was before, this price could have directly smashed him, but when operating the pearl box, he had a lesson from the past, and this table was indeed very amazing, and now there is nothing that cannot be accepted.
"Ah, yes, yes!" "It's too expensive to afford."
I don't know if I understood Qiao Lan's expression, Lin Mu added, "Half a month later, the first batch of roundabout round tables will be borrowed to Wuli Town to go north, and then Qiao Gongzi can choose a favorite one." The king of the table still has to make a show, I really can't give it to you. ”
"......" Qiao Lan was dumbfounded, and embarrassedly lowered her body to rub the carving on the table: Could it be that my intention for this table is so obvious?
Someone from the dock urged, and the table king was dismantled again and transported to the dock. Lin Mu was polite to Qiao Lan for a while before leaving.
After Lin Mu left, Qiao Lan saw that it was still early, so she raised her feet and went to the opposite door. Anyway, when someone lends someone to her, she has to say no, of course, she doesn't come to find out more, but it would be better if she knew something by the way.
Feng Qixiang has been practicing swords recently.
He has lost his martial arts for more than three years, and his body is weak, so he can only play with strength and breathlessness to follow the moves in the depths of his memory. Whether it worked or not, he didn't stop, but practiced more and more bravely.
The calluses on Feng Qixiang's hands had faded two years earlier, and during this time, his hands were ground to a bloody blur. The loyal servant of the old slave was distressed, but he didn't say a word, and continued to practice after smearing and bandaging......
Zhou Changle was taken into the door by Qiao Lan and taken to the inner courtyard. Feng Qixiang, who was practicing his sword in the inner courtyard, only glanced at Qiao Lan, but he didn't pay attention to it and continued his actions.
Qiao Lan sat down on the stone chair beside her, just as comfortable and calm as when Feng Qixiang arrived at Qiao's house. Then he smiled and watched Feng Qixiang play cheap...... Oh no, it's a sword trick
Feng Qixiang tried his best to ignore the burning gaze next to him, focusing on the sword in his hand, wanting it to walk according to the established routine, but slowly, his attention was on how to make his posture smoother, the sword style sharper, in other words, how to play more handsome, as a result, his steps were naturally messy, and immediately followed, even his moves were messed up......
"Huh!" Even Qiao Lan's kung fu little whiteboard could see Feng Qixiang's strange appearance.
Feng Qixiang retracted his momentum in Qiao Lan's stunned sight, threw the sword over Feng Yi casually, and then walked to Qiao Lan's side, staring at her intently, "What's the matter?"
"Well, that ......" Qiao Lan felt that she should comfort him, "your body is good, you have to take it easy." ”
Her words not only did not comfort Feng Qixiang, but made him even more angry, no, he was glaring at her fiercely with his beautiful eyes, if you don't open any pot, I will have an endless fight with you.
What to stare at, just your face, no matter how much you stare at it, the effect has to be discounted. Qiao Lan decided to turn the page very sensitively, "I'm going to Changzhou and bought you some souvenirs, no, I sent them to you." Ye Feitian!" Ye Feitian next to him put the box in his hand on the stone table.
Feng Qixiang looked at the box with disdain, "What is it?"
Qiao Lan opened the box, and there were ten small compartments inside, and in each compartment was a kind of preserved fruit. The preserved fruit that Qiao Lan bought was packed in a bag, and in order to look better for Feng Qixiang, she used such a delicate box.
"You're going to slam the door, too, and give away all this. Feng Qixiang was so disgusted that he disliked it, he disliked it, and his hand reached out to the box, asking for the preserved fruit, Qiao Lan snapped the box, almost caught his hand, "Don't forget it, I'll find something else for you in the future." Ye Feitian, go back. ”
Ye Feitian got the order and was about to take the box away, Feng Qixiang had already quickly pressed the box down, "Since you gave it away, how can there be any reason to take it back." You're definitely not here to bring me something, say, what's the matter?"
"It's easy to deal with smart people!" Qiao Lan stopped beating around the bush and said openly and honestly, "I came back from this trip and found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, do you know what the hell is going on? Or is it just my delusion?"
"You don't know?"
"I should know?"
"I thought you knew!"
"I don't know, that's why I'm here to ask you. Qiao Lan opened the box and picked the most expensive dried walnuts to eat.
Feng Qixiang looked at Qiao Lan with a good look, as if he wanted to see a flaw on her face, however, Qiao Lan behaved calmly, without the slightest flicker in her eyes, and looked like a person who was a little confused and was seeking a solution. (To be continued......)
