8. Chapter 8
In front of him was the exit of the bamboo forest path, and across the sparse green bamboo, Tang Yu saw Mo Lan's figure looking this way.
Tang Yu resisted the urge to turn back, adjusted his feelings, and walked out.
"Girl, where is the second girl?" Mo Lan hurriedly walked up and looked at the bamboo forest suspiciously.
At the mention of Tang Lin, a coldness flashed in Tang Yu's eyes.
No matter how disgusted Tang Lin is, Tang Yu will stare at her when she goes out, afraid that Tang Lin will make a fool of herself and that she will discredit the Hou Mansion, and after all, all the blood in her body is the blood of the Tang family, Tang Yu really doesn't want to see Tang Lin ask for trouble because of provoking Song Qin. As a result, she left her friends in the pavilion to come to Tang Lin, but she was unlucky to bump into Song Qin, and she was slighted by him.
"Let's go. Tang Yu was too lazy to care about Tang Lin, even if Tang Lin suffered, it was her own fault.
Mo Lan looked at the bamboo forest and guessed that the second girl was probably angry with her own girl again, and she was also annoyed and followed her master.
Tang Yu found an excuse and really went to Gongfang.
The big family has a special room for the female relatives who come to the house to be a guest, which is similar to the girl's boudoir, the outside window is bright and clean, there are dressers, tables and chairs, and the jade devices on the Duobao Pavilion are elegant. The little maid brought water over, and Tang Yu asked her to go down, leaving Mo Lan alone to serve.
"Girl, what's wrong with your chin?" Mo Lan saw that she kept rubbing her chin as if she was ruthless, and her delicate and delicate skin was obviously red, and asked worriedly, could it be that she was bitten by some flying insect, and the girl kept rubbing it because she was uncomfortable?
Tang Yu didn't explain, he just felt that no matter how many times he washed it, he couldn't wash off the touch left by the man's cool fingers, like a snake.
She once firmly told Wei Zhao that he was not that kind of person, and today Tang Yu knew that what Duan Wang is not close to women, and the rumors are not credible at all. She met Song Qin only a handful of times, and Song Qin bullied her under the pretense of interrogation, maybe in a place where the people and ministers couldn't see, Song Qin had already bullied many women from good families.
Just like Song Qin took the third princess back to the house to take care of him, he did hypocritical things, but he steadily maintained his good reputation as a regent.
Sanctimonious.
"Go change the water again. Tang Yu wiped his face with his back to Mo Lan and commanded calmly.
Mo Lan looked at the master who loved cleanliness very much today, picked up the basin and walked out, and handed it to the little maid who was waiting outside.
The second time he washed, Tang Yu lightened his strength, cleaned up, and walked back.
Halfway to meet Tang Lin's master and servant, both of them looked a little dazed, seeing Tang Yu suddenly came back to his senses, Hongxing was afraid of the eldest girl, bowed her head and hid behind the master, Tang Lin was weak-hearted, but refused to show her timidity in front of the eldest sister, raised her chin and hummed: "Sister is too tight, don't you think I'm good?"
Tang Yu passed by her without squinting, and from now on, what Tang Lin did had nothing to do with her.
At the end of the banquet, Tang Yu said goodbye with the other guests and went home.
Everything in the house is in order, in addition to remembering his father in his heart, Tang Yu still does those things every day, after resting, he walks around the small garden of Meige, and then either reads and practices calligraphy, or becomes a female celebrity, or plays the piano and chess. Two maids, Huilan has good chess skills, Tang Yu taught her seriously, and taught Huilan to play chess with her to pass the time.
The red sun was about to set, and the little maid rushed over with a smile and said that her cousin was coming.
Tang Yu glared at the hippie smiling maid and asked her to invite her cousin to Songfeng Hall first.
Looking at the chessboard, Tang Yu asked Hui Lan to hold it, and went to Songfeng Hall to see Wei Zhao unhurriedly. Wei Zhao is very obedient, he comes three times a month, the last time he came was at the beginning of the month, Tang Yu actually missed him, when she was a child, she lived in the Weiguo Mansion for a long time, and Wei Zhao was opposite day and night, childhood sweethearts, and the relationship was not comparable to ordinary cousins and sisters.
Songfeng Hall, Wei Zhao was worried, today Song Qin also went to the Liang family, Wei Zhao always felt that he was going to his cousin.
It wasn't until he saw Tang Yu bring the chessboard over that Wei Zhao was relieved, and his cousin had the leisure to play chess, which meant that it was fine.
Relaxed, Wei Zhao stared intently at his sweetheart after leaving Half a Moon, with a smirk.
Mo Lan Huilan looked at each other, put down the chessboard, and retreated outside the hall with interest.
Tang Yu blushed slightly, and after sitting down, he whispered to the man opposite, "It's not that I haven't seen it, it's stupid, let them laugh in vain." ”
"My cousin is beautiful, I can't get enough of it every day. Wei Zhao stared at the little girl's peony-like face, low and authentic, gentle and ambiguous.
Tang Yu didn't respond, lowered his eyes and set up a chessboard, elegant and quiet. Such sweet words, Wei Zhao has said many times, when he said it for the first time, she seemed to be only twelve years old, and she was red-faced by what he said, and she hid from Wei Zhao for several days, and when they met again, the relationship between the two was no longer a simple brother and sister.
Because she saw and listened a lot, Tang Yu and Wei Zhao got along very naturally, and occasionally Wei Zhao said a few similar witticisms, she could also look as usual, in the end, the two behaved moderately, always abiding by the rules, and being frank and open.
"How are you playing chess with your left hand today?" Tang Yu noticed that the gaze on the other side was not so hot, and Tang Yu looked over again.
Wei Zhao put down a black child, looked at her white jade-like slender hand, he glanced at the door, and slowly raised his right hand that had been placed underneath and clasped it on the side of the chessboard.
Tang Yu stared at his hand curiously.
"The peach blossoms on Liuxia Mountain are blooming, and I want to invite my cousin to enjoy the flowers together. Wei Zhao stared at her moist eyes and removed his hand.
On the rosewood table, there is an extra peach blossom silk flower, pink and tender color, layers of petals, lifelike.
Tang Yu looked at this silk flower, and a sea of peach blossoms appeared in his mind, which made people fascinated.
"Cousin, let's go, we haven't been out for a long time. Wei Zhao persuaded in a low voice, nervously waiting for her to answer.
Tang Yu bit his lip, picked up the silk flower and took a closer look, looking at him with watery eyes, "Take Brother Qi?"
Cousins and cousins are easy to gossip when they enjoy flowers alone, but it's different when they have a boy to accompany them.
Wei Zhao knew that this was already the best result, nodded again and again, and stared at her excitedly, "Then let's go on the twenty-day, I'll pick you up after breakfast, and we'll go to the old place." "Go to that peach grove that belongs only to him and his cousin.
Tang Yu hummed, turned the silk flower in his hand, and suddenly didn't want to play chess with him, so he stood up with a smile, "Since you're going out in a few days, you should go back early." ”
Wei Zhao was stupid, he didn't understand why she liked his gift very much, but he was not even allowed to use it for dinner here, and the treatment was not as good as not giving a gift.
Tang Yu didn't tell him the reason, and finally took a look at the idiot who was stunned there, she left with a red face, afraid that Wei Zhao would catch up, Tang Yu walked very fast, and returned to Meige after a while. Ordering the two maids to stay outside, Tang Yu entered the boudoir alone, covered the doors and windows, and sat down happily in front of the dresser.
Facing the mirror, Tang Yu inserted the silk flower he had just received into the right bun.
The usually dignified and beautiful girl immediately became charming and charming, her eyes were like water, and her face was pink.
Sneaking like this, Tang Yu blushed and quickly picked off the silk flowers.
After dinner, Tang Yu looked at the letter sent back by his father not long ago to report his safety, thinking that his father's victory was in sight, Tang Yu forgot the scene when he was despised by Song Qin during the day, and his heart was full of sweet longing. When she fell asleep, she dreamed that the mountain was full of peach blossoms, and under the peach blossom tree stood a gentle and handsome cousin, looking at her with affection.
In the next few days, Tang Yu was in a very good mood.
On the twentieth, Tang Yu got up early to dress up, Mo Lan asked her what jewelry she wanted to wear, Tang Yu looked at the two dazzling jewelry boxes in front of her, and only ordered a white jade hairpin and a pair of pearl earrings.
"Isn't it too plain?" Hui Lan smiled and took out the peach blossom silk flower and compared it to Tang Yu's head, "Girl, I see that you haven't worn this one yet, just today to enjoy the flowers, why don't you wear this one." ”
Tang Yu understood that Huilan was making fun of her, Huilan Molan was more familiar with her jewelry than her, she hadn't been to the shop recently, and suddenly there was an extra silk flower, it must have been given by Wei Zhao.
But Tang Yu pretended to be confused and let Huilan "make her own opinion" to help her wear the silk flower.
At breakfast, Tang Lin stared at the silk flowers on the eldest sister's head a few times, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, she also had a few silk flowers there, but they were not as good as the eldest sister's one, the petals were light, pink and bright, and they could almost be fake and real when placed in real flowers.
"Is my sister's silk flower newly bought?" Tang Lin couldn't help but ask.
Tang Yu put down the white porcelain spoon, swallowed the porridge in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "The Empress Dowager rewarded me last time I entered the palace." ”
Tang Linden had nothing to say, her aunt and the queen mother didn't like her, and they only favored the eldest sister.
Rong also felt that the silk flower was good-looking, and asked for it for her daughter with a smile, "The things in the palace are good, is there more in Yu'er?"
Tang Yu wanted to be perfunctory, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Brother Qi'er who didn't finish drinking a mouthful of porridge for a long time, always keeping his head down, guessing that his younger brother was embarrassed because of the Rong family, she temporarily changed her words: "That day, the Queen Mother got six new silk flowers, let me choose, I think she likes it very much, only took one, but I still have one that I didn't wear last year, I will let Huilan send it to my sister for a while, and my sister will pick a few more if she likes it." ”
Rong's quietly glanced at his daughter, Tang Yu's housekeeper must have bought a lot of good things for herself, her daughter went to pick it, maybe she could take advantage of it, in front of the maid, Tang Yu was embarrassed not to give it.
Tang Lin immediately said: "After eating, I'll go over with my sister, don't let Huilan run around." ”
The two of them are used to getting an inch, Tang Yu didn't intend to connive, and was about to speak, when the little maid outside rushed over and said, "Girl, son, cousin is here." ”
"Mother, sister and sister, I'm ready to eat, you use it first, I'll go talk to my cousin. Brother Qi put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Tang Yu without a trace, and turned to leave.
Tang Yu's heart was warm, Brother Qi deliberately did not mention the matter of appreciating the flowers, because he was afraid that Tang Lin would follow after hearing about it, which would ruin her mood.
"I've eaten too. Tang Yu stood up and instructed Hui Lan, "Remember to send the silk flowers to the second girl, if there is something in the house, send someone to report it to me at any time." As he spoke, he walked out.
"Where is my sister going?" Tang Lin asked suspiciously.
Tang Yu didn't look back: "My cousin asked us to go on a trip." ”
Tang Lin hesitated for a while, didn't say anything more, she had seen Duanwang, she was no longer rare Wei Zhao, anyway, Wei Zhao only had the eldest sister in his heart.
Wei Zhao really only likes his cousin who is a childhood sweetheart, and he saw Tang Yu leading Mo Lan over from a distance, dressed in a tender green gown, wearing the pink silk peach blossom he gave him on his head, with a graceful posture and a delicate appearance, he was overjoyed, stared at his cousin for a while, lowered his head and rubbed Brother Qi'er's head, "Be interesting on the road, do you know?"
Brother Qi'er's white face slowly turned red, cousin is really, tacit things, why bother to say it?
"Cousin. ”
When the person arrived, Wei Zhao stared at Tang Yu stupidly, his gaze circled around her head meaningfully.
Tang Yu's expression was indifferent, and he stretched out his hand towards Brother Qi, "Let's go, take the carriage with my sister." ”
My sister didn't get angry with him because of her mother's second sister, and Brother Qi gave her little hand to her sister with satisfaction.
When he arrived in front of the carriage, Tang Yu helped his younger brother up, Wei Zhao winked at Mo Lan, and he leaned over to Tang Yu to help her.
There were guards at the door, Tang Yu glared at him, and then looked at Mo Lan.
Mo Lan hurriedly squeezed Wei Zhao away, and poor Wei Zhao watched her sweetheart put her little hand in Mo Lan's palm, and swallowed it fiercely.
Turning over the horse, Wei Zhao followed the side of the carriage, his eyes fell on the window from time to time, thinking that when he arrived in the peach blossom forest, he must find a chance to get close to his cousin, he didn't ask for much, as long as he could touch his cousin's soft and boneless little hand, even if it was just a moment, he had not been in vain today.
Single-mindedly thinking about how to please the beauty, when he went out of the city gate, Wei Zhao naturally didn't notice that there was another carriage behind the team. The car looked ordinary from the outside, except for a coachman with a cold face, there were no servants and guards on both sides to follow, and it was very inconspicuous to line up behind the cars of the dignitaries and nobles of various prefectures who were ready to go out of the city to play.
The curtain of the car was suddenly lifted by a small hand whirring, revealing the delicate face of the female baby.
Seeing the long queue in front of her, the girl was shocked, turned her head and asked the man sitting upright on the low couch, "Uncle Huang, why are there so many people?"
Song Qin's face was cold, and his voice was cold, "Because they want to go out of the city just like you." ”
The third princess didn't hear the faint impatience in these words, and came back to the crack in the curtain, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Cousin Zhao is in front!"
Song Qin was indifferent.
"Could it be Sister Yu sitting in the carriage?"
Song Qin looked at his niece who was talking to herself through the cracks of the curtain, and finally a trace of interest finally appeared in his cold black eyes.
