Chapter Ninety-Six

Yan Ruiqian pulled Yan Zhaohua forward, and Yan Zhaohua couldn't help asking, "What are you doing!" ”

Yan Ruiqian said to Yan Zhaohua without looking back: "I didn't do anything, don't talk to them more, those two are not good people, they are staring at you all day long." ”

Yan Zhaohua looked at Xie Xinrou next to her, Xie Xinrou replied with an inexplicable look, as if asking Yan Zhaohua, why aren't those two good people? Yan Zhaohua shook his head, and both of them couldn't help but look back, and found that Pei Xuan and Fan Wenchao were no longer there, where was the situation that Yan Ruiqian said 'staring at you all day long'?

A voice called out to Yan Ruiqian and said:

"Brother Mo Xian stays today."

Today's ink is Yan Ruiqian's expression, Yan Ruiqian stopped and looked back, it was Tan Xiaozhi who had wrestled with him before, I saw him tidying up his sleeves and hem, and hurriedly ran to Yan Ruiqian, and said: "Brother Xian's previous move was really powerful, I didn't see how it was made, I don't know if you can explain it to me in detail?" ”

Tan Xiaozhi is eighteen years old this year, among his peers, his skills are also good, at least among the children of these Shangwen families, he is a leader, wrestling and hunting have never lost, but he didn't expect to lose to Yan Ruiqian today, and he dropped everyone's glasses, and now he came to ask for advice, his attitude can be described as extremely humble, Yan Ruiqian has no hostility towards Tan Xiaozhi, but also feels that today's performance is extraordinary, he is narrowly defeated, if Tan Xiaozhi changes his method, he may not win at all, chess opponents, naturally it is a dialogue between confidants, Immediately politely hugged his fists and said in return:

"Brother Yongcheng is polite, it's just a false move, it doesn't have a big effect, my brother is just unprepared for a while, where do you need to explain in detail."

Tan Xiaozhi insisted: "No, no, no, if you lose, you lose, and I ask the virtuous brother to give me advice." ”

Yan Ruiqian is a stubborn donkey, if someone talks well, he will naturally not be aggressive, nodded and said, "That...... Okay, I'll send my two sisters back first, and we'll find a place to practice later, and my brother will definitely understand when he sees it. ”

Tan Xiaozhi then set his eyes on the two girls behind Yan Ruiqian, he knew that it was the eldest lady of the Xie family who was wearing peach-pink clothes, and the other one Yan Ruiqian was holding must be his own sister, the eldest lady of the Yan family.

Facing Xie Xinrou and Yan Zhaohua, he hugged his fists and said: "Hello two young ladies, in Xia Tan Xiaozhi, my father is mighty, I have something to ask Brother Jinmo Xian for advice, and I will walk all the way, can I mind?" ”

Xie Xinrou looked at Yan Zhaohua and said, "The prince is polite, why not, our sisters are all enjoying the flowers on the other side, you can go if you have something to do." ”

Yan Ruiqian looked back uneasily, and insisted: "Let's cross the bridge together, I'll send you to the other side, and then find a secluded place with Brother Yongcheng to learn." ”

The four of them went up the small bridge together, Tan Xiaozhi looked at Yan Ruiqian pulling Yan Zhaohua and never letting go, and couldn't help but say: "The relationship between your sister and brother is really good, it is really rare for Brother Mo Xian to protect his sister like this." ”

Yan Zhaohua was a little embarrassed, withdrew his hand, and the moment he sent it back to his sleeve, Tan Xiaozhi saw a smooth and fair, slender and slender hand, and at a glance, he felt that the hand was as smooth as mutton fat jade, and wanted to look at it twice, but she quickly hid it in the sleeve, Tan Xiaozhi's eyes tightened, and he suddenly felt regret.

Yan Ruiqian didn't see Tan Xiaozhi's gaze, and replied casually: "She is so dull, she doesn't know how to protect herself, how can I not protect her?" ”

Yan Zhaohua listened to Yan Ruiqian's words, and smiled helplessly: "You are only dull, take care of yourself." He turned around and said to Tan Xiaozhi, "Let the prince laugh." ”

Tan Xiaozhi looked at the shadowy face behind the hat, and unconsciously became nervous, and was stunned for a moment before returning the salute to Yan Zhaohua with a smile, and said: "I don't see a smile or a smile, the relationship between sister and brother is so enviable!" ”

Xie Xinrou also said: "No, Brother Qian has woken up in the past two years, and he knows that he feels sorry for his sister, unlike Brother Fan, who still robs me of things all day long, not to mention protecting me, if he doesn't leave me aside when something happens, even if he has a conscience." ”

The amusement of these words made several people laugh.

Yan Ruiqian really sent Yan Zhaohua and Xie Xinrou to the other side, and left with Tan Xiaozhi, Xie Xinrou came over and said to Yan Zhaohua: "Hey, why do I think that Tan Shizi's expression is different when he talks to you?" ”

Yan Zhaohua glanced at her and said, "What's the difference?" ”

Xie Xinrou shook her head: "I don't know, I always feel weird." You think, for example, my cousin, when he talks to us, his expression is very comfortable, but that Tan Shizi I think he is talking to you, I feel that he is a little stumbling, not comfortable at all. ”

Regarding Xie Xinrou's analysis, Yan Zhaohua only felt a little funny, pushed her and said, "How do you feel?" Keep your feelings to deal with that Miss Zhang, your feelings didn't tell you, did Miss Zhang deliberately get involved with you today? ”

Speaking of Miss Zhang, Xie Xinrou really came back to her senses, seemed to be a little distressed, and whispered: "Did you say that she heard something and deliberately came to confront me?" ”

This Miss Zhang is the young lady of the Shoufu Zhang family, that is, the sister of the Zhang family's son who Xie Xinrou fancies, today's poetry competition, that Miss Zhang did not give an inch, and pressed each other tightly, as if she wanted to separate the victory and defeat with Xie Xinrou, if she hadn't heard anything, she wouldn't be able to squeeze it like this.

"Well, that's not easy to say. But if she really meant that, what would you do? Yan Zhaohua glanced at Miss Zhang who was talking to other girls, elegant and fresh, and indeed a talented woman.

Xie Xinrou shrugged her shoulders and said, "What should I do?" She's going to give me a dismount, I'm still afraid that she won't make it? ”

Yan Zhaohua smiled, remembering that Xie Xinrou is not easy to deal with, if she and Zhang Gongzi really become friends, then she will be Miss Zhang's sister-in-law in the future, a smart sister-in-law, she really shouldn't go toe-to-toe with her sister-in-law, after all, her sister-in-law is married, and she will marry out sooner or later.

The two talked all the way, all the way back to the begonia woods, the seats of the two were still empty, and the people seemed to send a few more snacks up, as well as a pot of fragrant tea brewed on each table, the two sat down hand in hand, helped each other remove the hats on their heads, and then exhaled a breath of relaxation, after Xie Xinrou sat down, poured tea and drank it, and felt that it tasted good, so he also poured a cup for Yan Zhaohua, and was drinking tea, when he heard a soft and arrogant voice behind him:

"Can I sit down together?"

The two looked back, only to see the county lord of Ronghua holding a shelf, standing there, followed by a few young ladies who were trending towards the flames, the posture of the county lord of Ronghua was a little arrogant, and she did have arrogant capital, after all, in today's party, she was the only one with a title, and her identity was naturally more noble than others, and she herself felt so, standing proudly, waiting for Xie Xinrou and Yan Zhaohua to get up and help her.

Yan Zhaohua sat and didn't move, she didn't have such a good leisure, even if this girl was the county lord, she couldn't let people kneel once. Xie Xinrou naturally didn't plan to get up and shoot this meaningless horse and fart, so she only moved her body in the direction of Yan Zhaohua, vacated a seat for the county lord of Ronghua, and said:

"Yes. Have a seat. ”

Xie Xinrou didn't like this county lord very much, but because of the etiquette of the master's family, she didn't turn a blind eye to her.

The county lord of Ronghua couldn't bear his displeasure, and looked at a woman behind him, and the woman stepped forward to arrange the mat cushion for her, and helped her kneel down uprightly.

Xie Xinrou and Yan Zhaohua glanced at each other, and their eyes seemed to say: This is the authentic style of the family girl, just a little pretend! Xie Xinrou took advantage of the action of pouring tea, lowered her head and pursed her lips, and then pushed a cup of tea to the county lord of Ronghua, expecting that the county lord would not even look at it, sure enough, after the county lord of Ronghua sat down, his eyes kept staring at Yan Zhaohua, Yan Zhaohua just didn't see it, he drank tea and ate snacks, and even the appearance of eating was beautiful and impeccable, the county lord of Ronghua couldn't help it, and said:

"Did Miss Yan already know Shizi?"

Yan Zhaohua said in his heart, sure enough! When he raised his eyes, he had an innocent expression and said, "What? Which son? ”

The county lord of Ronghua endured his anger and added: "Prince Gong." We've all seen you talking to him before. So I wanted to ask if you have known each other for a long time? ”

Yan Zhaohua glanced at Xie Xinrou while eating a snack, and Xie Xinrou replied for her: "Prince Gong is my cousin's uncle, and I know my cousin, is there anything strange?" Do you want to know the county lord too, I'll introduce you when I get back. ”

Xie Xinrou's words were damaged, so that the county lord of Ronghua couldn't answer, if she didn't want to know, it would be against her will, but if she wanted to know, it was not good for her reputation, and she was in a dilemma for a while.

"I didn't say I wanted to get to know her, but I just watched Miss Yan and her man talking and laughing, and I wanted to remind Miss Yan that my daughter's family is still a little reserved." After some weighing, the county lord of Ronghua still chose to maintain his reputation, after all, there are many ways to know the prince of Gong, she can do it privately, there is no need to tell them.

Yan Zhaohua could only smile awkwardly and replied: "Talking and laughing? From so far away, the county lord can still see us talking and laughing, and his eyesight is really good! If you don't stare at your cousin, you're staring at us, but the county lord is so noble and reserved, he shouldn't be staring at his cousin, a foreign man, then he must be staring at me, but how can I be virtuous, how can I make the county lord star? It's so unreserved. ”

"Poof."

Yan Zhaohua's words made Xie Xinrou couldn't help but squirt out all the water in her mouth for a while, and the maid who was waiting next to her immediately sent a handkerchief, Xie Xinrou wiped her mouth with laughter, and her shoulders trembled, where could the county lord of Ronghua not see that Yan Zhaohua was deliberately trying to taunt her, so he immediately stood up angrily, pointed at Yan Zhaohua and said:

"You, Yan Zhaohua, you deceive people too much, I talk to you with good words, but you are sarcastic, you are really a widow's daughter, and you have no education."

The words of the county lord of Ronghua 'the daughter of the widow' made Xie Xinrou's laughter stop, and her face was straight, and she also stood up, and said to the county lord of Ronghua: "What the county lord said is too poisonous, and the matter of revealing people's sores and scars is really not tasteful." ”

A woman behind the county lord of Ronghua said: "What is there or not, our county lord is just telling the truth." Why should Miss Xie be more serious? ”

Xie Xinrou wanted to say something, but Yan Zhaohua pulled her hand, only to see Yan Zhaohua also stand up, and after tidying up her sleeves, she raised her head and said to the county lord of Ronghua and his party:

"The whole capital knows that I am the daughter of a widow, so I won't ask the county lord to remind me. As for upbringing, I grew up with my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law was seriously ill, so I went back to my house with the Duchess to be educated. If it weren't for that, then I wouldn't have heard it, and if it did, then I couldn't help but ask the county lord to go with me to confront the Duchess of the Kingdom. ”
