Chapter 26: Thunder (2)
In a courtyard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ah, mother, I won!" shouted a girl in a yellow shirt with a sunspot in her hand, and after taking the last step, she shouted in surprise.
The woman opposite her smiled slightly, and said gently: "Yes, your chess skills are improving so fast, you still need to let you have five sons last time, and today you only let three sons win." ”
The girl grinned: "Next time, I won't let my mother let her son." ”
"Well, okay, Ake, you have a lot of ambition. The woman wore a Lingyun bun, with a double-strand gold inlaid emerald hairpin, delicate eyebrows, and a fair face, and at this moment she wore a flawless mutton fat jade bracelet on her wrist, slightly supporting her head, smiling and nodding at the girl, which only made people feel that she was glamorous with an indescribable beauty.
While the mother and daughter were talking, a woman in palace clothes came over, saluted, and said, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, Shopkeeper Fang and Shopkeeper Cao are here." ”
"Oh, did the two of them come together? The woman raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, "Let them in." ”
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and I've seen the eldest lady. The two approached and saluted in unison.
"What is it that has brought you two together, and it can't be that you've come to me for tea?" said the woman, who was in a good mood, made a mockery of them.
The two didn't dare to say anything, but their eyes glanced at the girl who was drinking tea on the side.
The woman frowned slightly, but the girl noticed it, and got up and said, "The handkerchief that has been embroidered recently has not yet been finished, so the daughter will go back first, and come to her mother for dinner later." ”
The woman smiled and nodded, and when the girl had come out of the courtyard, she said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Don't hide it from the eldest princess, today in the Treasure Pavilion, there was an old pit jade with an auspicious pattern of dragons and phoenixes. Fang Ruhai looked serious and said respectfully.
"Bang dang", the teacup in the woman's hand fell to the ground, and her face was very shocked, "You...... What do you say?"
Fang Ruhai said his words again without changing his color.
"Who is it? Who is it? Can you see it?" asked the woman, recovering from her shock, her eyes suddenly shining with anticipation.
Fang Ruhai glanced at Cao Xuan, who hurriedly stepped forward and told him what had happened.
"A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl?" the woman grabbed Cao Xuan's sleeve a little out of shape, "What does she look like?"
"It was a guy from the silver building who saw her, and the little one didn't know very well, but I heard the guy say that the girl was very beautiful, and she didn't talk and behave like ordinary people. Cao Xuan sweated, and secretly said that he was careless, why didn't he bring Letong over.
"Go and bring him in, I'm going to ask for myself. ”
"Yes. The two of them said in unison, and hurriedly turned and retreated.
Outside the door, the girl known as Ake leaned against the wall, her face pale, and she let go of her grip on her hand that was sweating finely.
She looked at the four corners of the sky, and it was a cloudless sunny day, and suddenly a few dark clouds appeared, which made people palpitate for no reason. The wind also began to be violent, and under the stone bridge outside the courtyard, there were still a few remaining unthanksgiving lotuses, and they were no longer beautiful, and they were no longer in the climate.
She couldn't help but murmur softly, "It's going to change......
The words drifted in the wind, and I didn't know where to go.
Fang Cao and the others went out of the corner gate, only to relax slightly and wipe the sweat from their foreheads.
"I have never seen the eldest princess look so out of shape, it seems that the county lord is still a knot that the eldest princess has not forgotten for many years. Cao Xuan said with a low sigh.
Fang Ruhai looked around, made a silent gesture, and waited out of the gate of the Xue family before saying, "The matter has not yet been decided, so you can't discuss it casually in the mansion." ”
Cao Xuan nodded, although he didn't go in and out of the Xue Mansion as often as Fang Ruhai, he also knew a little about the relationship between the several masters of the Xue Mansion. In this Xue Mansion, I'm afraid that there are a lot of people who don't want the county lord to appear again......
Because of this, the eldest lady avoided it. On weekdays, when he came to report on the situation in the Treasure Pavilion, eight times out of ten, the eldest lady was to accompany him, but this time he avoided her, and I don't know if she was suspicious......
"Even if the county lord can really get it back, I'm afraid that the eldest princess will inevitably be troubled in the future. Fang Ruhai sighed and shook his head.
"What do you mean by that? Are you worried about the county lord's upbringing over the years?"
"This is secondary, she is not educated, and she is also the eldest daughter of the eldest princess, as long as the emperor and the queen mother are here, no one will dare to bully her," Fang Ruhai denied with a smile, "The most important thing is that now the eldest lady is still shouting that mother, there has never been less contact, the one who saw the return of the main master, how could he still sit still? It must be to provoke the sisters to compete for favor......"
Cao Xuan suddenly thought that he just wanted to welcome the county lord back smoothly, but he didn't expect that there would be such troubles in the future.
"That one is really greedy, he wants both benefits and daughters, and he embarrasses the eldest princess in vain. ”
"This daughter, after all, is just for the greater good......
Zhou Chi was temporarily sent by the master to Baodi to do errands, because of the proximity, it only took two days to come and go, and he didn't come home, but asked the neighbor who went home to help him get a change of clothes by the way, and hurried on the road.
After the three of the Zhou family finished eating, they went back to their rooms to do their own things. Because it had already been an afternoon, Qin Shi and Yiying's emotions had already stabilized, and they couldn't see anything abnormal. At the dinner table, Yi Ying sandwiched several pieces of meat for the foodie brother as usual, Zhou Lang accepted it happily, and ate three bowls of rice as usual.
When she returned to her room, the Qin family was relieved, and she sighed a little that it was fortunate that Zhou Chi was not at home, otherwise she didn't dare to guarantee that she wouldn't tell him all about it. She hasn't figured it out yet, if she tells Zhou Chi, the two sad people are not sure who will comfort whom!
After Yiying freshened up, she lay on the bed, but she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. She was distressed by two things:
First, how to make the Qin family loosen their mouths, she can't just return to the Xue family without knowing anything about the enemy. Although she knew the Chinese name of the prince of Dongyi, how did he gain his mother's trust, why did he take such a hateful way to fight against Nanming and his mother, and whether it was directly related to her disappearance back then, she didn't know anything, and he had a hunch that he might not be able to find him just by the name Sun Sinan. As soon as she thought of this possibility, she was very anxious, if she had to live again, she could only watch her mother betrayed by such villains, she might as well die immediately!
The other is Xu's mother's words, such an obvious directionality, Tang will not really come tomorrow...... Proposed, right?
No matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was impossible, with the current family background of the Bai family, it was enough for Bai Mingyuan to marry the daughter of a low-ranking scholar, why did she have to marry a child from a family with no power, no power and no money?
