Chapter 9 Lotus Seeds Are Clear as Water 2
Wei Wan didn't know that under the roots of the imperial city, she was designated as a beautiful tool by the imperial princess.
Spring is deep, and the roses and roses on the surrounding fence walls are sticking out of the green leaves with gorgeous flower heads, blooming all over the wall.
Weiwan wore a snow-white embroidered short shirt, a garnet-red eight-piece silk skirt tied around her waist, and a crystal lotus hairpin with a black lacquer hair at will, standing on the porch with a long small silver spoon carefully scooped a fat meat worm to feed the two snow-white parrots standing on the brass frame.
Zhuang Duan and Han Xiao, who were standing beside her, watched her feed the birds.
Zhuang Duan was very dissatisfied with Weiwan's timid appearance, frowned, and said coldly: "This kind of cockatoo is the proudest, if you behave timidly, it will look down on you." What is so terrible about a small worm that it should be afraid of being like this? ”
As if to cooperate with his words, the two beautiful parrots looked at Weihuan with eyes like little black beans, and arrogantly ignored the little insects.
Han Xiao also comforted softly: "Sister Fairy, that little insect doesn't bite, I even caught it with my own hands." ”
When Wei Wan heard this, she felt numb all over, and saw that the little worm seemed to crawl to her hand along the long handle, and as soon as her hand was soft, the small silver spoon with the long handle would not be able to hold it, who knew that at this time, one of the arrogant parrots who had been teasing for a long time and ignored it suddenly stretched out her head and pulled the fat worm into the long beak like a sickle.
Wei Wan breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly handed over the small silver spoon and the small jar containing live insects to Bi Huan, who was following her, and ordered, "You go ahead and feed it." He asked Zhuang Duan with a smile: "Where did Brother Duan get this parrot?" ”
Zhuang Duan said with a straight face: "I gave Jiang Lao Wu a little mastiff dog last month, and he sent these two cockatoos to thank me this time." ”
The fifth child of the Jiang family is the same age as Zhuang Duan, and the two can play together. When Wei Wan heard that he sent it, she said: "Even if it was sent by a friend, then this parrot should be raised by Brother Duan'er himself, how can it be given away?" ”
Zhuang Duan said impatiently: "Big men raise birds to make people laugh to death." If you don't want it, throw it out. ”
Wei Wan saw that he was just a ten-year-old child, but he pretended to be an adult with a rigid face, but he was angry and cute, so she stretched out her hand and twisted his face lightly, and said, "That's just an adult?" When you're as old as your sister, wouldn't you call yourself an old man? ”
Zhuang Duan's face turned red and said angrily: "Don't twist my face!" Don't be like I'm a child! I'll be an adult in five years! ”
Wei Wan laughed and said, "Then in another five years, I won't twist your face." ”
was talking and laughing, and saw from a distance Mrs. Zhuang's mother Zhang with a few people, accompanied by a four-person chariot walking over, and when she got closer, she saw clearly that the beauty sitting on the chariot with a high bun and ruby sideburns was actually the lord of Wanhua.
Wei Wan hurriedly called Pan Zi to cook tea to serve the guests. Zhuang Duan also saw the county lord of Wanhua, and he had no intention of entertaining, so he took Han Xiao out of the back door.
Wei Wan sent Zhuang Duan and Han Xiao back, and the county lord of Wanhua was coming down from the step, Wei Wan greeted Shi Li and smiled: "The county lord is good." Ask the county lady to move to the house and have tea. ”
The lord of Wanhua County said politely: "I didn't say hello in advance and visited rashly, I hope I didn't disturb the lady." ”
Wei Wan smiled and said: "The county lord is visiting, how can it be disturbing?" ”
The county lord of Wanhua glanced at the courtyard gate wrapped in wisteria and the fence wall covered with vine branches, roses and roses, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, you are really a fluffy here, but it is the most beautiful and elegant fluffy in the world." ”
Wei Wan also smiled: "The county lord is really here to add glory to my peng. You see, when the county lord wears this dress and stands in front of this flower wall, is it suitable for the face and color? ”
The lord of Wanhua wore a sapphire blue gauze shirt, a lake blue shawl, and the back hem and shawl of the coat fell long behind him, winding in the wind.
The color of the gemstone orchid The young woman generally looks too solemn when she dresses it, but the lord of Wanhua wears it, and her skin is like a good white jade, crystal and delicate, and her pink face is even more radiant. Dignified and delicate.
The green leaves and red flowers lining the wall behind him are really bright and eye-catching.
Pan Zi and Cui Xi both smiled: "It's really good-looking, it's better than the person in the painting." ”
The group talked and laughed and entered the house.
The room where Wei Wan lived was two and a half rooms in size, unpartitioned, and on the north side was a sandalwood stepping bed, on which hung a light green smoky yarn cordyceps tent, in which there were faint pink brocade quilts and pillows; On the east and west sides, there are sandalwood wardrobes, dressers, chairs, desks and other furniture.
A large screen with a double-sided embroidered cat picture stands on the ground. On this side of the screen, under the window on the south side, there was a large round table, on which was placed a large vase of azure color, and in the vase was a large bouquet of roses with water droplets; a coral bonsai with a small celadon jar next to the bonsai and a few goldfish swaying in the jar; Small objects such as books, pens, pens, inkstones, etc., are placed on the table at will.
At the table, a few carved sandalwood chairs were casually arranged, covered with brand new brocade cushions.
The county lord of Wanhua sat on the carved chair, and Pan Zi handed over the tea.
While drinking tea, the county lord of Wanhua was talking about some gossip without a pair: "...... The day before yesterday, the Liangwang Mansion made a fortune to Jihou's family...... It's like the treatment of a concubine. The tone was a little sad.
Weiwan remembered Shen Liuniang, at the flower party that day, her black and white apricot eyes always looked at King Liang...... Even if it is a side concubine, she also wants to marry in her heart, so she said: "Liu Niang or married the person she likes, although she is a side concubine, she can be regarded as a wish." ”
The county lord of Wanhua smiled, didn't speak, and said for a while: "You are good in this yard, would you like to accompany me for a walk?" ”
What's not to be with that?
Weiwan immediately accompanied the county lord of Wanhua to go out.
Pan Zi, Cui Xi and the people who followed the county lord were just about to follow, and the county lord of Wanhua said: "I and Wan Niang are talking in the garden, you don't have to follow." ”
The maidservants had no choice but to salute and retreat silently.
After walking along the bluestone road in the shade of the trees, the county lord of Wanhua smiled and said: "It is said that the children of the heavenly family are golden branches and jade leaves. Who knows, we, the golden branches and jade leaves, actually have no freedom at all. This one who hugged back and forth, looking at the majesty, was actually just being watched by many eyes, which was worse than the prisoner. ”
For such a offense to Tianwei, it is inconvenient for Wan to speak. She gently fanned the folding fan and slowly followed the county lord of Wanhua.
She could see that the county lord of Wanhua came with something on her mind. It's just that they don't have a deep relationship, what is there to make this golden branch and jade leaf come to him? And it's full of thoughts?
The county lord of Wanhua didn't say it, but Wan didn't ask.
The county lord of Wanhua finally couldn't hold his breath, looked at the fan in Weihuan's hand and said, "Can you show me that fan?" ”
Wei Wan was stunned for a moment, and hesitantly handed the fan to the county lord of Wanhua.
As soon as the county lord of Wanhua took the fan, he opened the fan to look at the orchid picture on it, and looked at it blankly for a long time before he closed it suddenly, handed it back to Wei Huan, and said with a cold face: "This fan was given to you by a son?" ”
Wei Wan was stunned, and suddenly thought of why Princess Wanhua came.
The Dingguo Mansion and the Qingping Mansion were discussing the engagement, but at this time, Dongfang Yi sent a fan to himself...... The county lord of Wanhua must have come to settle accounts with himself.
Wei Wan was wary in her heart, and said with a smile: "It's really sent by a son." ”
When the county lord of Wanhua heard this, the snow-white painted orchid fan in his hand pointed directly at Wei Huan's face, and reprimanded: "Let me ask you, do you have an affair with that son?" Are you unwilling to marry the prince because of that son's nonsense about the peach blossom robbery? ”
Wei Wan saw that her eyebrows were upside down, her face was full of frost, and she was wearing a royal blue collared coat, which made her even more noble and majestic.
Suddenly, I felt that I had completely mistaken this person. When she first met the county lord of Wanhua, she felt that although the county lord had a lofty and noble spirit, he was chic and arrogant and generous-minded, but at this time, the county lord of Wanhua was arrogant and domineering, and his brutal spirit was fully displayed, and he suddenly felt disgusting and hateful.
She was angry in her heart, and she rushed out: "Whether Wei Wan has a personal relationship with someone has nothing to do with the county lord. Please also ask the county lord to respect himself. ”
The county lord of Wanhua sneered: "Nothing to do? You deceived the prince, and it has something to do with me robbing men! ”
Wei Wan was taken aback, and suddenly understood one thing, what Zhu Huan said was true. Dongfang Yi and the county lord of Wanhua did not make a family appointment, not only did they not get married, but they were not as good as they seemed, otherwise the county lord of Wanhua had a chance of winning, and he would not be able to find himself to lose his temper. I can't help but be surprised and delighted when I think about it.
