Chapter 138

After Yan Zhaoning returned to Changning Houfu, it was not so strange to look at her, but Yan Zhaohua's observation of her did not stop, and he always felt that something was wrong with her. Until the day of the Lantern Festival, Sister Rou invited her to go to Xie's house to play, Yan Zhaohua mentioned it to Sister Rou slightly, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Zhaoning and their going to Geng's house, but Sister Rou said a news that surprised Yan Zhaohua, that is, the other three girls of the Xie family came back that day, and only Yan Zhaoning stayed at Geng's house alone.

"She's alone? But when did she and Miss Geng get better? Yan Zhaohua took the glutinous rice sweet wine balls handed by Sister Rou, and the two of them hid in the ear room on the east side of Xie Xinrou's courtyard, and they only went to the Lantern Festival in the evening, and the two of them didn't plan to play with the chattering girls in the afternoon. The two sisters got together, gossiping, eating and drinking, not to mention how comfortable and happy they were.

Sister Rou nodded, and also felt a little strange: "I asked Sister Yuan, Sister Yuan said that I hadn't seen how good the relationship between the two had before, and at most I met the relationship of saying hello, that is, in the last month or two, Sister Ning and Miss Geng have only gotten closer, but Miss Geng's reputation is not very good, and it seems that she has secretly taken the things of the third lady of the Ningguo Mansion, and there are not many people in the circle of noble women who play with her." I don't know which of Sister Ning's tendons is wrong, and she actually got close to her. ”

Hearing this, Yan Zhaohua felt even more strange, who is Yan Zhaoning? What kind of personality and temper is she? If you are not a powerful person, you can't climb it, and the imperial history is only four grades, a young lady from a four-grade official family, as usual, she shouldn't be in her eyes, but she is not only close to her, but also lives in her house, which is really unpredictable.

"However, everyone has their own fate, maybe Sister Ning and Miss Geng are like us, like-minded, and have endless words."

Xie Xinrou's words made Yan Zhaohua smile, if the people next to her said so, she would still believe it, but Yan Zhaoning, a person who is so utilitarian that even her half-sister can start, will she succumb to a young lady from a four-grade official family because of her like-mindedness?

In the evening, the girls all gathered together, everyone was dressed brightly and decently, and the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival was a favorite festival for the girls, because on this day, as long as you wear a hat and a guard, you can go out to play with the elders of the family in an open and honest manner, and a few girls travel together, not to mention how happy.

Yan Zhaohua is wearing a light and elegant skirt, with silver squirrel skin on her shoulders, warm and good-looking, compared to the appearance of other girls, she is really plain to the extreme, but this does not prevent her from being light and beautiful, and her more and more gentle temperament makes her the most eye-catching one no matter where she stands.

After the preparations were complete, the girls got into the carriage and set off for Chang'an Avenue, the most lively street in the city today.

On Chang'an Street, the voices of people are boiling, all kinds of lanterns are hung in front of the shops, so that people stop and watch, the girls are depressed on weekdays, it is rare to be able to go to the street to play, see everything and feel fresh, the night market street, the lights are bright, all the young men and women come and go, groups of three or five, so lively.

Xie Xinrou is the craziest to play, because after March, she is going to get married, and from now on she will have to live according to the rules of other people's families, and when she sees any good things, she seems to want to buy them back, and even Yan Zhaohua can't help but say that according to her buying method, maybe she will be able to spend all the dowry before she gets married, which caused the girls to laugh.

However, this is also a joke, in such a lively environment, the girls like to buy things, only for a short while, the maids who followed behind were all full of things, and only Yan Zhaohua, a pseudo-girl, was more sensible, and only let the same excited Dye Xiang and Qingzhu buy some candied pastries, which were brought back and distributed to everyone, and bought a few pieces of jewelry for the two maids, but they didn't buy anything.

In Yan Zhaohua's opinion, the things sold on the street are not as good as those in the house, and there are things delivered in the house all year round, so she really doesn't need to buy something that looks trendy outside, but in fact the workmanship materials are not outstanding, and she will put it aside for two days when she goes back to play, which is not a waste.

Xie Xinrou saw that she didn't buy anything, and quipped: "I said Miss Yan, everyone rumors that you are the one who has a dowry comparable to a princess in Shangjing, and you are scared to death with a lot of money, why are you so stingy and don't buy anything?" ”

Yan Zhaohua smiled helplessly: "What has everyone heard, I think everyone is referring to yourself, if you really want to be a housekeeper, you don't even care if I go to the street to buy things or not?" ”

Xie Xinrou snorted, disapproving to Yan Zhaohua's riposte: "I have to take care of it, I can't take care of the people next to me, but for you, I just want to take care of it, what can you do to me?" ”

Regarding Xie Xinrou's affectionate words, Yan Zhaohua smiled: "You still have to keep your energy and take care of your family's Zhang Xianggong." ”

Saying that, Yan Zhaohua pinched Xie Xinrou's cheek, then turned around and ran forward, mentioning Zhang Xianggong, Xie Xinrou had no confidence, and before she could react, she felt that her cheek was pinched by Yan Zhaohua, and she chased after her face while covering her face, but when she turned around, Yan Zhaohua didn't catch up, but bumped into someone.

Xie Xinrou turned her head and saw the face of the person who bumped into her clearly, and suddenly blushed to the root of her ears with shame, what a hell, how can you bump into someone on the street in a good manner, and you can bump into the body of 'Zhang Xianggong' who was just mentioned?

I saw that Zhang Dechuan was also shy, just wanted to come over to say hello, but was bumped into by the beauty, let him help it, not to help and reluctant, and finally after a moment of mental struggle, finally reached out to support Xie Xinrou's shoulder, this time Xie Xinrou blushed and couldn't even raise her head, seeing Yan Zhaohua not far away, she couldn't straighten her waist with a smile, and secretly gritted her teeth and swore in her heart that she must tickle her at night!

"Well, hello girl, you are polite."

Zhang Dechuan's life is handsome, and he speaks softly, the girls present are all acquaintances, and they have all seen Zhang Dechuan, and they know what the relationship between him and Sister Rou is, but the girl is outside, after all, she has to be reserved, Zhang Dechuan said hello, they also returned the gift, there are outsiders, they still know to maintain their manners, for a while, a group of little girls who were chattering just now became quiet.

After Sister Rou settled down, she took a step back from Zhang Dechuan's side, Zhang Dechuan only felt that her palms were empty, and she looked at the pretty woman who was about to become his wife with loss, seeing that there was still evidence of shyness in her ears, she actually pursed her lips and laughed a little happily, and Sister Rou was even more embarrassed when she saw him laughing.

Yan Zhaohua walked to Sister Rou'er's side and pushed her, Sister Rou twisted twice, then regained her sense a little, and asked Zhang Dechuan: "You, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Dechuan Wan'er: "There is a poetry meeting on the Wangjiang Tower today, and I went to join in the fun." ”

As he was talking, another voice came: "Brother Tokugawa, don't come unharmed." ”

Everyone looked back, only to see Tan Xiaozhi, the new Tanhualang mighty prince of Houfu, walking like the wind, as if he didn't see these girls, his eyes kept staring at Zhang Dechuan, Zhang Dechuan saw that it was him, turned around and hugged his fists and saluted: "The prince is also here?" ”

Tan Xiaozhi and Zhang Dechuan hugged their fists in return, and turned their heads, as if they had just seen a few little girls standing next to them, and after scanning their eyes, they fell on Yan Zhaohua, and happily stepped forward and said to Yan Zhaohua:

"The eldest lady is also there? Recently, Brother Qian has been very busy and has not seen him for many days, but is it okay? ”

Xie Xinrou and the other girls all looked at Yan Zhaohua in surprise, because Tan Xiaozhi and Yan Zhaohua were too close, which made people feel strange, Yan Zhaohua replied to Tan Xiaozhi in a proper manner, and said indifferently:

"Thank you Shizi for your thoughts, it's all good."

Saying this, I don't really want to continue this topic with him, Tan Xiaozhi was a little embarrassed, and Yan Zhaoning, who was behind Yan Zhaohua, suddenly spoke: "Tan Shizi, where are you going?" Why did you see your sister as if she couldn't see anyone else? ”

Everyone focused on Yan Zhaoning, and always felt that the words Yan Zhaoning said were too pertinent and not very polite, which showed that she was smiling in a hazy way, which was quite similar to Yan Zhaohua's side face, Tan Xiaozhi looked at her with everyone's eyes, and was not annoyed by Yan Zhaoning's rudeness, but generously gave her a smile:

"Where, naturally, I saw all the young ladies, but I was more familiar with the eldest lady, so I neglected you, forgive me."

Yan Zhaohua's brows frowned, is this Tan Xiaozhi's words really brainless, or is it deliberate? What did he mean by this, so that others heard it, and they thought that there was some ambiguity between them.

"Hmph, who are you more familiar with! Don't you look at my big sister's beauty, you ......"

Yan Zhaoning's words became more and more outrageous, for fear that the more she spoke, the more unbearable she became, Yan Zhaohua shouted: "Behave in moderation, speak well." ”

Sister Rou stood up to solve the embarrassment for Yan Zhaohua, and said to Tan Xiaozhi: "Although Sister Ning said it in the wrong way, Tan Shizi's words are indeed ambiguous, you and Sister Hua have only met once, and Brother Qian and I were both present that time, if you want to be familiar, Sister Hua and I should be as familiar as you, how can you favor one over the other, and say such things to cause people to misunderstand?" ”

Tan Xiaozhi gave Sister Rou a pause and said, his face was a little unbearable, he really wanted to create some pink scandal with Yan Zhaohua, anyway, this kind of verbal advantage is not an obstacle for men, he really likes Yan Zhaohua very much, but people don't look down on him with high vision, but Tan Xiaozhi asked himself if he is not the kind of character that comes and goes when he calls, the more he wants to conquer, the more he wants to conquer, if he can't do it, then it is understandable to use a little means, how can he expect that the sisters around Yan Zhaohua are more spicy than the other, It left him at a loss.

Zhang Dechuan saw that Tan Xiaozhi was a little embarrassed by Sister Rou'er's words, although he didn't think Sister Rou'er said anything wrong, Tan Xiaozhi's mouth was close to other girls, which was not right in itself, and there was no name and no point, so being familiar with it was irresponsible to other people's innocent girls. But after all, the two are classmates, so they can't look at him without face, so they mediate:

"yes, yes, it's all a misunderstanding. We all went to Wangjianglou to see the poetry meeting, this time the poetry meeting was presided over by the prince and the princess in person, this year's champion, Bangyan, Tanhua are among the invited, as well as some of the more famous talented women in Beijing, even the prince of Gong Wang who does not attend this kind of gathering on weekdays is also there, Miss Gong Wangfu Xie should be the most familiar, and does not stick to identity, if you are interested, you can also go with us to watch. ”
