Chapter 9 Lotus Seeds Are Clear as Water 4
But she smiled silently.
The county lord of Wanhua did not follow: "I treat you as a friend, but you treat me with two hearts, hum, I am sincere to you in vain!" ”
Seeing that she was really angry, and she really wanted to make her a friend, she couldn't help blushing, lowered her head and gently stroked the slightly cool fan bone with her fingers, and said in a low voice: "...... Didn't you look at this...... The painting was painted by Shen Gongzi, but the words on it were not written by him. ”
The county lord of Wanhua rolled his eyes, took advantage of Weiwei's unpreparedness, grabbed the fan and opened it to take a closer look, and couldn't help laughing: "It's Dongfang Yi's two stubborn handwriting." As he spoke, he returned the folding fan to Weiwan.
Wei Wan endured it, but finally couldn't help it, and asked: "How can the county lord be so familiar with Dongfang Gongzi's handwriting......
Lord Wanhua covered his lips with a fan, and looked at Weihuan with sparkling eyes with a smile. "I won't tell you...... Okay, I'm not kidding you. Our family and the Oriental family have been friends for generations...... I was good friends with his sister, and he led us to play since we were young. ”
It's a childhood sweetheart, no wonder the relationship is better than others.
Wei Wan thought about it, but couldn't help but say: "It's not that the mansion is discussing marriage with Dongfang Yi for you and Dongfang Yi......"
Lord Wanhua laughed and said, "I really don't want to tell you, let you be in vain...... A while ago, the concubine and Mrs. Dongfang thought that I had played with Dongfang Yi since I was a child, and thought that we were in love with each other and wanted to propose marriage for us...... When Mrs. Dongfang tried to mention it, I had already told my mother that I had always regarded the second son as a brother and that I could never marry him...... At that time, the concubine scolded me for having no vision. ”
Since then, Wei Wan has no doubts. "I don't know what kind of person Shen Gongzi is, he must be a very good person to make the county lord so admired, right?"
The county lord of Wanhua was touched by his feelings when he heard this, and pondered silently, a gentle smile gradually appeared on his lips, and he said slowly: "If you want to talk about appearance, you can be a person, and the waves are not as good as Dongfang Yi." I don't know why, I just have him in my heart and can't let him go...... When I was thirteen years old, my mother took me to Jihou Mansion. I ran around the garden alone to play. That day, the willow elm pods, floating all over the sky like snow, I chased the flying flowers, a little boy who was five or six years older than me stood under a willow tree to paint, saw me, and said unceremoniously, little beauty, stand there and don't move. It turned out that he was going to paint. I wouldn't have been able to stand that long. But that day I stood motionless until he finished drawing. He paints, and I look at him. That day, he was wearing a green shirt, which reflected his eyebrows as black, and between raising his eyes and lowering his eyes, his eyes flashed like stars, and I was fascinated......"
Weiwan tried to imagine the scene at that time, but somehow remembered the sweet things that she and Dongfang Yi had on the way, and couldn't help but wonder. The mood of the county lord of Wanhua must be the same as herself, but as the daughter of the royal family, she is mostly used for political marriages, and it is not easy to marry a person who agrees with her. If King Ruoliang failed in the struggle for the throne, the Jihou family was allowed to be affected, and the county lord and the prince of Jihou had no chance. I can't help but feel sorry for her.
But he also knew that any consolation was superfluous, so he didn't say much, but just listened quietly.
The county lord of Wanhua was depressed for a long time, and as soon as he put his head down, he said a happy thing, until he was in a good mood, and then he said goodbye and boarded the car.
Wei Wan went straight to the door of the hanging flowers.
Since then, the two have seen each other often, and even if they don't meet, they have exchanged letters. Friendship is like a day.
Mrs. Jihou really sent someone to send a message to Mrs. Zhuang, meaning to hire Weihuan as a wife for the prince.
Mrs. Zhuang came to ask what Weihuan meant. Weiwan felt that Mrs. Zhuang was not the kind of person who didn't know what to say, and telling her about the county lord of Wanhua would not have any adverse impact on Wanhua, so she told Mrs. Zhuang about the love between the county lord of Wanhua and the son of the Shen family.
Mrs. Zhuang pondered for a long time and said, "But I didn't expect it...... So which son gave you that fan? - But Dongfang Yi? ”
Weiwan lowered her head, and nodded with a red face for a long time, and said as thin as a gnat: "My daughter also knows that it is inappropriate, but she can't let go of ......"
Mrs. Zhuang sighed and said nothing.
Although Wei Wan was worried about Dongfang Yi, there was no movement on Dongfang Yi's side. It was only through the county lord of Wanhua that he gave her a letter telling her that he was valued by the crown prince and was newly promoted to the position of general of the right Yiwei, and there has been no news since then.
Weiwan sometimes inevitably wonders, is she being amorous? It's just a fan, it doesn't mean anything at all, he just hands it over to himself. But when I thought about the situation at that time, I felt that this was Dongfang Yi's wordless promise......
Contradictions and conflicts in the heart, fighting in every way, and being anxious.
When the lotus flowers were in full bloom in the summer, Dongfang Biyun of the Dingguo Mansion suddenly sent a post to invite Weihuan to go to the other garden for a small banquet to watch the lotus.
Weiwan looked at the post, thinking that she and Biyun don't have much friendship, how can she invite herself this time? Thinking of Dongfang Yi again, my heart moved. took the post and held Pan Zi's hand to see Mrs. Zhuang.
Mrs. Zhuang had just woken up from a nap, and was leaning on the beauty leaning and drinking tea with the celadon lotus pot of Yue Kiln. Wei Wan stepped forward and saluted with a smile, walked over and sat down next to Mrs. Zhuang, and said with a smile: "Drink tea in the afternoon, be careful that you can't sleep at night." "It's hot, Mrs. Zhuang has been suffering from insomnia recently, so she doesn't sleep very well, and she seems to have cleared a little.
Mrs. Zhuang put the warm tea cup on the black lacquered table bordered by Luodian beside her, and said with a smile: "It's not a strong tea, but a weak tea that has been passed more than four or five times, and it doesn't get in the way." Seeing that Weihuan was only wearing a homely green silk half-arm, draped in a blue gauze of the lake, and her hair was only tied with a silk belt, draped casually behind her back, not dressed up at all, but it was clear water out of hibiscus, beautiful and elegant, she liked it unconsciously, and said heartbrokenly: "Although it is past noon, the sun is still very poisonous." Why don't you let the girls play the umbrella? ”
Wei Wan put her arms around Zhuangfu's shoulders and said, "Mother feels sorry for me the most." I came in the shade of a tree, and I couldn't get in the sun. ”
Mrs. Zhuang glared at her, with a smile in her eyes, but said angrily: "The shade is low and the sun is very sunburned, don't cry when you see that you have broken your skin." ”
Wei Wan took out the gilded red invitation card and showed it to Mrs. Zhuang: "The Oriental Biyun lady of the Dingguo family invites me to play in the Guogong Mansion tomorrow." Can my mother see it? ”
Mrs. Zhuang took the invitation and looked at it, and said idly: "Do you have a relationship with the Biyun lady of the Oriental family?" ”
Wei Wan smiled: "I met in the Qingping Palace." Although she doesn't have a lot of friendship, her daughter thinks she is a wonderful person who talks quickly, and she is also a friend worth making. ”
Mrs. Zhuang smiled: "I didn't expect that Mrs. Li's cold daughter fell into the eyes of Wan Niang." "Li is the maiden surname of Mrs. Dongfang, and I don't know why, no one in the circle calls her by her husband's surname, and everyone calls her Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Zhuang thought secretly. How could she not know about Weiwan's thoughts? The power of the prince is growing day by day, and it is a matter of time before he ascends the throne. At that time, the mainstay of the Taizi power, the power of the Dingguo Gong Dongfang family, was even more like adding fuel to the fire, and the prosperity and wealth would only grow day by day. Although Dongfang Yi is the second son, he is also a descendant, and he has been newly promoted to the general of the Right Yiwei, who has real power. That kid is both talented and good-looking, and has great ambitions. Relying on the power of the Guogong Mansion again, it is not difficult to do something in the future, but it is a good candidate for a son-in-law.
Recently, I also heard the news that the Guogong Mansion and the Qingping Wangfu could not get married, and I am afraid that this marriage will be the wife of the Dongfang family for Dongfang Yixiang.
