135 Drowning Man
After Second Master Xia helped her up, he looked at her eyebrows and stopped talking for a long time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xia Nan was stared at a little unnaturally by him, so she raised her head and looked directly at him.
The two looked at each other, and their eyes reflected each other's appearances.
The same eyebrows and eyes, the same slightly raised corners of the eyes, it's just that Xia Erye has a man's masculinity, and Xia Nan is more of a woman's tenderness.
On weekdays, Second Master Xia always looks depressed, which makes the whole person a little haggard, and it is difficult to see his appearance when he is really refreshing, otherwise, there must be many surprises that Xia Nan's appearance is somewhat similar to him.
When she met his eyes, Xia Nan suddenly noticed that there was a little more look in her that she couldn't understand.
Is it pity, is it love, is it guilt, is it ...... Contradiction.
A thought came to his heart, and Xia Nan's eyes widened suddenly.
Will Ji ......
"I know it all."
As soon as Second Master Xia's words came out, somehow, Xia Nan suddenly thought that he knew her background.
Frightened by her own crazy idea, she hurriedly erased it.
"You...... Know what? ”
She asked tentatively and softly, her eyes on his, the light contained in her a little confused.
"Nothing." Xia Erye had a smile on his face, a little more vivid than in the past, and he became more and more handsome and extraordinary, even though there were some traces of time between his eyebrows and eyes, but it was still difficult to hide his chic demeanor.
"You can avoid the things in the third room, you can avoid them, some things are difficult to get out of once they are touched."
Xia Nan could tell that he was concerned about her.
With a hot heart, Xia Nan smiled lightly.
"Thank you second uncle for your concern."
After she finished speaking, she looked out the window, but she didn't know that when she heard her say the three words of her second uncle, a slight pain crossed in Xia Erye's eyes.
There was an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages on the road, and occasionally a few shouts from pedestrians on the side of the road, but the rest was quiet.
Today's Jiang family is very lively, and the people who go there are either rich or noble.
Xia Nan thought to himself that if he was lucky today, he might be able to see the legendary King Ming.
She really has no good impression of this Ming King who sent people to assassinate her several times.
Yesterday, the master wrote a letter to her, telling her to go to Jiang's house today.
There was nothing mentioned in the letter, but Xia Nan had a faint premonition in his heart, like something would happen, maybe the master ...... What has already been calculated?
The carriage traveled steadily, and soon arrived in front of Jiang's house.
The Jiang family was full of voices, and all kinds of compliments lingered in the ears, Xia Nan followed the footsteps of Xia Erye and walked in steadily.
The little guy who led the way at the door of Jiang's house led them very enthusiastically, and from time to time there were officials around him who greeted Xia Erye, he nodded his head one by one, and many people looked at Xia Nan, as if they were inquiring and curious, Xia Erye didn't introduce them too much, only that she was the sister of Xia Weihou's mansion.
"Miss Xia."
The voice as warm as the wind sounded, and I saw Jiang Ze dressed in white, with a handsome face and a kind smile.
"Jiang Gongzi."
Xia Nan returned the salute.
"This is ......"
On the side, Second Master Xia saw Jiang Ze and Xia Nan greeting, so he asked questions.
Jiang Ze is a smart one, "Presumably this is the second master Xia of Xia Weihou Mansion, the younger Jiang Ze, who had a fate to meet Miss Xia, Jiang Ze first arrived in the capital and was not familiar with the people or things here, so he invited Miss Xia to come." The second master, please, if the Jiang family is not well entertained, please forgive me. ”
After he had finished speaking, he led them to the antechamber himself.
Second Master Xia didn't say much, just glanced at Jiang Ze a few more times, and there was a hidden scrutiny in his eyes.
The latter's face was open, as if he didn't know what he was looking at.
Most of the dignitaries and nobles gathered in the front hall, and ladies like Xia Nan could only be arranged to sit together with the ladies and ladies across a screen.
While she was thinking, she heard a delicate voice in her ears.
"Nan'er! I've finally seen you, and I miss you! ”
Immediately afterwards, Chu Yang's smiling face was reflected in front of him, and a person suddenly held Xia Nan in his arms and hugged her with both hands.
It's in such a big audience...... Xia Nan felt embarrassed.
Finally broke free from the bear hug of Chu Yang, Xia Nan already had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and glared at her with disgust.
Chu Yang's behavior was not something that the people present could understand, and immediately a few women frowned and looked at them, and even occasionally whispered, their eyes kept scanning the two of them with disdain.
Chu Yang didn't care about these glances, but Xia Nan was not very comfortable.
These people looked at Chu Yang with disdain and disgust, as if Chu Yang's existence had lost a woman's face.
This kind of scrutiny with a strange gaze made her eyes even colder.
Xia Nan pulled Chu Yang behind her, blocked the eyes of others with her body, and then turned back to Chu Yang and said.
"Outside, pay attention to your image, don't be reckless, don't let people worry."
Her advice is not unreasonable, Chu Yang is honest and kind, bold and simple, and she is afraid that some people who hide bad water will be unfavorable to her.
"Don't worry, who dares to bully me, others are still afraid that I will bully them."
Chu Yang didn't care, and led Xia Nan into the table with a big grin.
There were a few sisters at the same table that Xia Nan didn't recognize.
But what attracted her attention the most was a woman in a pink shirt.
The woman was dressed in a light gauze embroidered gold thread trailing pink shirt, and a jade belt around her waist wrapped her slender waist, lining her waist more and more delicately.
I saw that her fair face was gentle, her eyes were slightly drooping, her long eyelashes were like butterfly fans, thick and slender, her willow eyebrows were curved, her apricot eyes were nosed, her cherry-like pink lips were lightly pursed, and her delicate and beautiful face like a peach blossom was full of meaning, as if she noticed that the gaze on her was too obvious, she actually looked up, looked at Xia Nan, and then quickly lowered her eyelids, lowered her head, and did not dare to look directly at people.
The woman was so dazzling, many women seemed to inadvertently fall on her, but quickly moved away, she was beautiful and outstanding, but there was no one sitting with her beside her.
Xia Nan looked at her, and when Chu Yang saw her looking at her, he bumped her on the shoulder.
"You're also watching Zhao Yuanmeng."
"Zhao Yuanmeng?"
"No, that's the guy you see."
Chu Yang looked at her generously, and even smiled at her kindly.
Xia Nan was puzzled.
I only heard Chu Yang explain softly in her ear.
"Zhao Yuanmeng, that is, the household Zhao Shilang's family that I once mentioned to you, is also the number one in the whole capital, one of the best beauties, Zhao Yuanmeng, the same, she is also the sister of the scoundrel Zhao Yuanliang."
Chu Yang smiled mysteriously.
"Let me tell you, you still have to thank this Zhao Yuanmeng, she can cover up the rumors about you."
"Why?" Xia Nan was puzzled.
Chu Yang said.
"This Zhao Yuanmeng is also a poor person, she was born in Zhao Shilang's mansion, but unfortunately she is not taken seriously in the house, Zhao Yuanliang is from the big house, born noble, since he was a child, he has to be windy and rainy, and Zhao Yuanmeng is from the fifth room of the Zhao family, the fifth room is the most incompetent, and can only be attached to the big house, Zhao Yuanliang is a second ancestor, even if he messes with flowers and grass outside, some time ago, he hit his sister with thoughts, that is, Zhao Yuanmeng."
At that time, he did not know that he was being desired. Wang was so dazed that he wanted to attack his sister, but fortunately, this matter was broken and he couldn't succeed. Although Zhao Yuanmeng was rescued, his reputation was damaged, and he has been criticized and excluded these days, and it is not easy to appear in front of so many people today. ”
After hearing this, Xia Nan was also shocked.
"When did this happen?"
The rumors about her only came out recently, so about Zhao Yuanmeng, I'm afraid it is also recently.
"It was yesterday."
Chu Yang also seemed to sigh.
"It's not easy for all women in this world, it's obviously Zhao Yuanliang's bastard who does bad things, but it's Zhao Yuanmeng, a poor girl, who suffers and is scolded, don't you know, some people can kill a person with one mouth."
A mouth can kill a person.
Xia Nan understands.
How can you not understand.
"Could it be that the Zhao family just let Zhao Yuanliang do this, but instead scolded Zhao Yuanmeng?"
Asked this, Chu Yang suddenly sneered, "Although Zhao Yuanmeng is a concubine, she was born as a concubine, and then she was raised under the knee by the fifth room, she was born lowly, no one paid attention to her, the reason why she was called Yuanmeng is also her biological mother who hopes that she can fulfill her dream." Zhao Yuanmeng's good face won the marriage of many noble sons in Beijing, but her mother-in-law did not agree to any family affairs, and delayed her family affairs again and again. Zhao Yuanmeng's mother-in-law can't wait for her to die, how can she help her get justice, Zhao Yuanliang is deeply loved by the family, and at most he will scold him, and then it will be his temperament. ”
These words made Xia Nan sympathize with the girl in front of her.
"And why is she here today?"
Fame is so important, compared to Xia Nan, Zhao Yuanmeng's matter is even more serious than hers, she almost lost her innocence, the object is still the elder brother in the clan, such ugly things have come out, she has become the object of everyone's disgust, but why did she appear in front of everyone today and put herself in such an embarrassing situation.
"I don't know about this, but I think Jiang Ze should know."
"Jiang Ze?"
"Yes, oh, I forgot to tell you that it was Jiang Ze who rescued Zhao Yuanmeng. I really can't see that this person looks insidious and cunning, and he can even save people. ”
Chu Yang didn't forget to say a few words to him, but his eyes stared at Zhao Yuanmeng with interest.
"You said that Zhao Yuanmeng appeared here today, was it invited by Jiang Ze? I think so, otherwise how could she be here. ”
As soon as Chu Yang's voice fell, Xia Nan didn't say anything, but he heard the woman in purple next to him taunt sourly.
The gaze is Zhao Yuanmeng.
"I really don't know, some people can still appear in front of everyone so shamelessly, if this is me, I am now ashamed to death, and dare to appear in front of everyone to be embarrassed, some people don't feel ashamed, I feel ashamed!"
The woman in purple's merciless words attracted the attention of many people, most of them looked at the scene in front of them with an attitude of watching a good show, and no one spoke for Zhao Yuanmeng.
The words were very ugly, but Zhao Yuanmeng didn't even raise her head, so that people couldn't see her face clearly, and the woman in purple thought that she felt ashamed, and this time she directly named her name.
"I said Zhao Yuanmeng, if you still want a little face, you should get out of the Jiang family for me now, don't lose our woman's face here, there are many nobles here today, don't let you collide with pollution!"
This person's words were very ugly, and several ladies were already frowning slightly, but when they looked at Zhao Yuanmeng with his head lowered, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
The woman in purple was very proud, and when she saw Zhao Yuanmeng's hands clenched, she smiled even more.
"What? Angry and angry? How can you not be angry and not angry when you do that shameless thing? ”
The purple-clothed woman's words became more and more poisonous, but no one stopped her.
"Zhao Yuanmeng, you should get out of here now!"
"Miss Xiang Wu, why are you so angry? "
A soft voice came, with a soothing power, which instantly quieted down Xiang Wu in the room.
The person who came was dressed in a purple floor-length dress, with a delicate face and a slender posture, walking towards everyone step by step, like a delicate flower that gradually bloomed.
Shen Jianing.
Xia Nan silently recited this name in his heart.
Chuyang reported the information in Xia Nan's ear in time.
"This is called Xiang Wu, it is Xiang Nuannuan, the fifth lady of the Xiang family, who is arrogant, domineering and stupid, many people in the noble circle in Beijing don't like her, but the Xiang family has a lot of rights, and many people deliberately curry favor with her for the rights of the Xiang family."
"Shen Jianing, what's the matter with you?"
Xiang Wu didn't seem to like Shen Jianing, and was faintly hostile.
"Miss Xiang Wu, although this matter has nothing to do with Jia Ning, but in the end, this is the Jiang family, not the Xiang Mansion, today is the day of the Jiang family's great joy, and Miss Xiang Wu is like this in front of everyone, I'm afraid it's not good."
Shen Jianing said tactfully, but Xiang Wu didn't appreciate it.
"Of course I know that this is the Jiang family, and because of this, I want her to leave, she is here, it will only hinder the eyes of many people."
"Miss Shen, you shouldn't meddle in this matter, you just need to take care of yourself, I'm afraid that your own affairs have not been resolved, but you will be taken first, and the gains will outweigh the losses at that time."
After speaking, she still looked at Xia Nan meaningfully.
At this glance, Xia Nan suddenly remembered.
During the outing at the beginning of the year, this Miss Xiang Wu seemed to be also present.
Her words suddenly silenced Shen Jianing, and her eyes also looked at Xia Nan, with a bit of light that Xia Nan couldn't understand. In the silence of the room, Xia Nan saw Zhao Yuanmeng suddenly raise his head, the expression on his face was forbearing, resolute, angry, depressed, and many emotions were mixed together, and finally turned into nothingness.
I saw her open her mouth to speak, but she heard a sudden sound of powerful footsteps in the hall, followed by a man's warm voice.
"You are all guests invited by the Jiang family, and everyone who comes is a guest, and I hope you will look at it below and calm the anger in your heart."
Although there is a screen between this side and the man's side, the distance is not close, and what is said here is difficult to hear over there, Jiang Ze came so coincidentally, he also had a heart.
Xia Nan was staring at Zhao Yuanmeng, but saw that when she saw Jiang Ze, there was finally a crack on her face that had turned into nothingness, and her eyes were shining.
It's like a drowning person when he sees driftwood. (To be continued.) )
