Chapter 581: The Long Night
Murong Chengxuan was quite satisfied with his eldest daughter, and when he saw his second daughter standing next to him, he immediately called his second daughter over to recognize the eldest sister. Murong Xinyu walked over lazily and made a gift to the elder.
The eldest lady looked at this sister and praised, "My sister is really good-looking, I heard my mother say that you are skilled in arching and horses, and your small kung fu is even more extraordinary." I think that in the future, I will be able to inherit my mother's business, win the battlefield, and shine on the lintel. ”
Murong Xinyu smiled faintly, "Xin'er's skills are ordinary, far inferior to my sister's. Mother's career, with her sister relaying, is the successor, Xin'er can just steal leisure and enjoy Qingfu. ”
The eldest lady heard her become more and more disagreeable, so she had to treat it as a floating cloud, but said, "I have a three-foot green blade, called 'dyed red', although it can't be called sharpening iron like clay, but it is also sharp." It's been with me for years, but I haven't used it much. My sister has quite a lot of tricks, and this 'dyeing red' is very appropriate. My sister took it as a meeting gift. ”
As he spoke, he ordered his entourage to hold a long sword and handed it to Murong Xinyu casually.
Murong Xinyu saw that the eldest lady gave it casually, so he took it in his hand without taking it seriously, and asked Facai to help take it.
The next day was the big day when Murong Sheng, the only son of the king of Huainan, came out of the pavilion, and early in the morning, all the palaces were mobilized, and they were busy inside and out. Because of the large number of transactions, there is an unprecedented shortage of manpower. Murong Xinyu took the four attendants to help, but only the attendants were arranged, and her second young lady became a blind and busy with nothing.
In the end, the second lady also mobilized the little maids in her small courtyard, hoping to attract everyone's attention and let her participate in it. But she is not a subordinate after all, who dares to arrange her to do heavy work? The management master of ceremonies has her own relevant personnel in charge, and the second lady doesn't understand anything, so she has to continue to do her nothing.
After coming and going a few times, the team of Lu Shangshu's family came, and Murong Chengxuan, the king of Huainan, immediately led the daughter Murong Xu and a host of ceremonies to greet him.
The second lady was a little curious about what the woman who married her brother looked like, and whether the two of them were husband and wife. So she quietly approached, wanting to secretly take off the bride's appearance, but before she could get close enough, a strong woman of thirty or forty years old came from the side and blocked her way.
The second young lady said with a calm face, "Hey, who are you?" Why are you holding me back! ”
The woman hurriedly saluted, and said with a smile on her face, "The villain is a close attendant next to the prince, named Tan Fang, because today is the big day of the young master, which is different from usual, so the prince specially ordered the villain to come over to serve the second young lady, and wait for the second young lady to send at any time." ”
Murong Xinyu blinked strangely and said, "I'm such a big person, and I won't lose it, what do you want you to do at any time?" From beginning to end, I'm not busy alone, where can I use you? Besides, even if you're busy, there are seven or eight people in my hospital who are at your disposal, and it's not your turn to help. So, please go back, and thank you for helping me by the way. ”
Seeing that Tan Fang just grinned, but didn't move, he thought at the moment, okay, you don't move, right, can I move?
So the second lady moved the lotus step lightly and took a few steps forward. Who knew that she couldn't move, because as soon as she moved, Tan Fang also acted immediately, and followed her closely behind.
Murong Xinyu was helpless, so he had to stop again and asked again, "I said that I have nothing to do, what are you still doing with me?" Please, don't do that again, okay? ”
Tan Fang's eyes were half open and half closed, and he said word by word, "Young Master Sheng came out of the pavilion, and all the attendants from the second miss were all dispatched to help, and the second miss was not served, so the prince specially ordered the villain to serve the second miss." This is the king's order, the villain does not dare to disobey, if the second lady thinks the villain is clumsy, do not want the villain to serve. also asked the second lady to make it clear to the king, the villain was convinced that the prince had indeed withdrawn his life, and the villain dared to leave the second miss. ”
Her round-and-forth explanation, although she made Murong Xinyu dizzy when she heard it, finally understood that what is on call at any time is better than singing, but in fact, she is just afraid that she will break in everywhere, so she has sent someone to act as an eyeliner to restrain herself!
After the second lady understood, she immediately sneered and said, "Okay, you like to be an obedient follower, then you can do it yourself." I'm too lazy to pay attention to you anymore. With that, he turned to a slightly more remote place and jumped around. Tan Fang only saw that at this moment, the second young lady, who was obviously not far in front just now, suddenly disappeared.
The Huainan Palace's palace was busy all day. finally sent Young Master Sheng out of the pavilion lively. Helian Wangbei dragged his tired body to the residence, and was about to push the door in to rest. But seeing a black shadow flashing in the corner next to him, he looked at it, but it was auspicious, and hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Why don't you rest at this time, what's the matter with me?" ”
Ji Xiang looked around and said in a low voice, "Second Miss doesn't know where she went, and she hasn't come back until now." ”
"Not really." Helian Wangbei said, "The prince was afraid that she would break in everywhere, so he specially sent Tan Fang to follow her at all times, I know this." But she was annoyed later and got rid of Tan Fang. Tan Fang also went to Wang Jue to sue her for this matter. It's just that Wang Jue didn't pay much attention to it because he was very busy today. It's been a whole day, and even though the second lady is uncomfortable, she should be angry, why hasn't she come back yet? ”
"Second Miss, that's it," Ji Xiang said, "Everyone is tired today, and they will rest early after finishing their work." Because I was on duty, I went to the second lady's room to take care of it before going to bed, only to find that she hadn't come back yet. I haven't told them yet, because they don't have as much ideas as you, and I'm afraid that if there is a fuss, the prince will know about it, and the second lady will suffer again. Butler, you have to find a way to get the second miss back as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, auspicious, you've been busy all day, go back to sleep. I'll find her soon. When the housekeeper saw Jixiang's tired face, he gave him a reassuring pill and asked him to go back to his room to rest.
Jixiang was silent for a while, he was indeed too tired, and he knew that his legs and feet were inconvenient, so if he followed the housekeeper to find it, not only would it not help much, but it might be a burden, so he had to nod and say, "Then it's hard for you." Don't forget to let me know if you find it. ”
Helian Wangbei smiled, "That's nature. ”
After sending away the auspiciousness, Helian Wangbei went back to the room and wiped his face, thinking about the places where the second lady might usually go, and felt that it was unlikely, so he had to get up and walk out, wanting to look everywhere first to see if he could touch it.
Secretly climbing over the wall and leaving the palace, Helian Wangbei searched aimlessly on the night breeze street, but still found nothing. Just stand under a verdant locust tree to sort out your thoughts.
The starry sky is long, and the moonlight is like silver. Occasionally, the night cries of children in the neighborhood can be heard on the street. Helian looked north at the end of the long street, and secretly thought, Second Miss, Second Miss, where are you?
"Hey, Helian Wangbei, come up! Come up and drink with me! At the front of the street, on top of an antique archway, there was a familiar voice.
Helian looked north and heard the prestige, but saw that the second lady, Murong Xinyu, was holding a wine gourd, and kept waving at him. She put the wine in the wind on the top of the archway, and her skirt fluttered leisurely in the night breeze, which looked beautiful.
"Second Miss, let me find you!" Helian looked at Peking University with great joy, walked quickly to the bottom of the archway, stretched his neck and looked up at the man standing at the top.
"What are you hesitating about, come up!" Murong Xinyu waved again, the wine gourd in his hand was crooked, and the wine inside suddenly poured out, splashing on Helian Wangbei's face, cold and fragrant.
Helian Wangbei wiped the wine on his face and said, "Second Miss, it's getting late, and you've been out all day, so let's go back and rest." Auspicious, they are all worried about you. ”
"Heh, you don't want to come up and drink with me." Murong Xinyu raised his neck and took a big sip of wine, and said drunkenly, "If you don't come up to drink with me, then I won't go back, just sleep on it for a good night." It's been a long time since I've been out in the open! ”
Helian Wangbei hesitated for a while, and had no choice but to jump on the archway and said, "Okay, the second lady is talking, after drinking with you, you have to go back with you." ”
"Don't worry, Miss Ben has always been ...... Always...... Keep your word! Murong Xinyu grinned and handed the wine gourd in his hand to Helian Wangbei, "Then you drink, drink!" ”
Helian Wangbei lifted the wine gourd and took a shallow sip.
Murong Xinyu's heart was overjoyed, but he quickly snatched the wine gourd back from the housekeeper's hand, took a long sip, and swallowed it slowly. Sitting beside Helian Wangbei, he returned the wine jug to him, and suddenly sighed.
Helian Wangbei didn't know why she sighed, but bowed his head and said nothing.
Murong Xinyu suddenly tilted his head, almost nestled in his arms, and asked with confused eyes, "Butler, what do you think of me?" ”
Helian Wangbei's heart jumped suddenly, and he coughed, but he raised the wine gourd to his lips, pretending to eat wine, and did not answer the question.
Murong Xinyu waited shyly for a long time, seeing that he had no reaction at all, and after half a day, he was still drinking that wine, and he didn't even change his posture, he couldn't help but be very angry, and snatched the wine gourd again, shouting, "You are not allowed to eat, you have to answer my question!" ”
Helian Wangbei had actually been thinking about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a good way to answer, so he had no choice but to give up. Who knew that the second young lady was unrelenting, and under pressure, he had to say softly, "The second young lady is a good person." ”
"That's it? A good guy? Murong Xinyu was obviously disappointed with the answer, raised the wine jug and took two more sips, wiped the wine stains on his face and said, "Then do you like me or not?" ”
"Uh......" Helian Wangbei's face suddenly brightened like a peach blossom, and he said in his heart, Second Miss, you are a famous daughter, and you should be tactful and subtle, steady and confident in this matter. So, can you not be so unrestrained, can you not be so impatient?
"Oh, I knew you didn't like me." Murong Xinyu said as if he was not drunk, "Where are you, where are you." In your eyes, I'm probably a country girl who came from the wrong way, but I was lucky enough to burst. I haven't seen the world, I can't get on the stage, I have nothing to do, I always make a joke and cause a lot of trouble! But because of your identity and the face of the prince of Huainan, you have to forbear yourself and pretend to be respectful on the surface, yes or no? Yes and no? ”
Helian Wangbei shook his head and said, "No, no. ”
"It's not weird!" The second young lady's head was lowered, and she was almost completely leaning on the butler's shoulder, a faint fragrance lingered on the end of her nose, the butler was in good spirits, and blinked her eyes, but she heard Murong Xinyu say again, "Then why don't you even like it?" ”
The butlers hesitated again, and many refused to speak.
"Liars, liars, you are all liars, you say one thing on your lips, but you have another idea in your heart." The second young lady suddenly flattened her mouth, and cried loudly, "I don't want to be with you liars anymore, I miss Qinglian She, I miss the mountains in the past, I miss the people who have the same heart, I miss my father!" ”
Seeing that she seemed to be drunk or not, but crying, like a child whose wish was not fulfilled, Helian Wangbei hesitated for a while, but still reached over, patted her emaciated back gently, and comforted, "No matter what others think of you, what kind of lies lie to deceive you, but in the eyes of me and Jixiang Ruyi, you will always be our second miss, no matter how the environment changes, this will not change." ”
"Is that true?" Murong Xinyu immediately burst into tears and smiled, and his lacquered pupils emitted a sparkling brilliance.
Helian Wangbei nodded, "Seriously." ”
"Can I understand that then?" The second lady began to reason vividly.
Helian looked north and said, "How to understand?" ”
"That said, you actually like me." Murong Xinyu was radiant and radiant.
"Uh......" The butler began to be silent again, and since the second lady was leaning on his shoulder, the two of them were too close to each other, so they could clearly see the rapid gathering of red glow on his face.
Although she was almost confident, the second daughter of the Murong family still didn't forget to ask narrowly, "Butler, tell me quickly, is it or not?" ”
Helian Wangbei bit his lip tightly, and when the words came to his mouth, he finally felt that it was inappropriate and swallowed it back. peeking at each other, I saw that the second lady in her arms was slightly drunk, and her cheeks were still a little red. Because the pear blossoms have just brought rain, there are still some crystal tears hanging in the corners of his eyes. The hair is like a cloud, playing the fragrance of Chinese people's intoxication. He took a few hard breaths, suddenly refreshed, and said in a low voice, "Second Miss."
