Chapter Eighty-Four: The Gamble of Ximen Shuang of the Qionghua Banquet
Xiting
As the name suggests, it is located next to a meandering creek with fragrant grass, and not far away, a few thatched huts surrounded by a fence are hidden under a few large banyan trees with lush foliage and a huge crown. (.)
A few chickens and ducks strolled leisurely in the yard, and in the stream, fish of red and black could be seen swimming leisurely in the water.
In this princess villa, there is such a natural place with a rural atmosphere.
By the stream, it was obviously not raining, but Liu Rushi and Ximenshuang were like two old fishermen, wearing hats and holding a fishing rod in their hands, and were sitting on a small bench on the stone by the stream, talking while fishing.
Looking at the small bucket next to the two of them, there are a lot of fish jumping around in it, and it seems that the harvest is really not small.
However, this doesn't mean how high the level of the two is, just because-
At this time, I saw Ximenshuang shaking his hand and spilling a handful of fish food, and suddenly, a group of fish rushed over and competed for food. The fishing rod in Ximenshuang's hand sank again, and she let out a long sigh.
"Alas! Another fish has taken the bait. ”
Unless you are a fool with this kind of fishing method, how can you not catch it?
Obviously, there was a fish on the hook, but Ximen Shuang looked infinitely melancholy, pulled in his hand, the fishing rod crossed the sky, and a fish landed on the shore, and his own palace maid came to clean up.
Simon shuang threw the fishing rod away.
"No fishing, no fishing, it's not challenging to fish here. What is this called fishing, just call it pulling fish. ”
As he spoke, he complained to the palace maid: "Feiyu, it's not right for you to do this. How can you raise all the fish so stupidly? Next time I talk to you princess, let's do it differently! Even wild breeding is better than this. Otherwise, if you keep fishing for stupid fish and eating stupid fish, this person will become stupid. ”
The palace maid named Feiyu pursed her lips and smiled: "If you want to say it, Miss Simon can say it, I am just a rough palace maid, and I can't even see the face of the princess." ”
"Anyway, Feiyu, you're too unmotivated, that's why you're still a rough palace maid."
Ximenshuang shook his head and sighed, looking at Feiyu with a look of extreme disappointment.
"Do you just want to be a rough palace maid for the rest of your life, and then wait until you reach the age, let you go out and become an old girl, and give an old widower to live for the rest of your life? Your life is like this, are you willing? Fei fish, I'm not just talking about fish, I'm giving you a chance to get in touch with the princess, don't you even understand this? People must know how to seize the opportunity to have the possibility of success. Just stay where you are, and you won't be able to do anything for the rest of your life. It's okay now, but in a few years, when you're not too young, what will happen then? You can't be here for the rest of your life, haven't you thought about what will happen when you go out? ”
The smile on Feiyu's face was put away, a little overwhelmed, a little confused, a little alert, and a little thoughtful.
Before, she really didn't think about it so much, she became a palace maid, and was assigned to Xiting in this Qionghua Villa, where all year round, only one month needs to be careful, usually, there is nothing to do, and no one cares, free and easy. It's a good time to get by.
But later, what will happen in the future?
The non-fish suddenly had a sense of crisis.
Liu Ru interrupted Feiyu's thoughts at this time, and said with a smile: "Feiyu, don't pay attention to her." She has a lot of faults, and she likes to talk nonsense, and if you really believe her words, it's over. This time she dislikes a lot of fish, you really follow her; Next time, she will be afraid that there are fewer fish, and there will be no end to listening to her. It's not too early, it's almost the same today, you can leave two of these fish to clean up, eat fish for dinner, and then get two vegetarian dishes and a soup. Let the rest go. ”
Feiyu answered, and sure enough, he picked a few fatter ones, and the rest were put away, and he took them to the kitchen to clean up. It's just that I still look a little trance-like looking at it.
It seems that Ximenshuang's words had a big impact on her.
After she disappeared, Liu Ru looked at Ximen Shuang disapprovingly: "She is doing well, why do you bother to say this to disturb her mind?" Contentment and happiness have always been a little bit of human duty, although there is no great creation, but it will not invite great disasters. If she really has ambition because of this, I am afraid that she will not be a blessing but a curse. After all, there are some blessings that not everyone can bear. At that time, if something happens to her, can you really be at ease? ”
Simon Shuang disagreed.
"Bodhi is not a tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust? ”
"If she doesn't have the heart at all, I say it anyway, she won't be moved; If she had this idea in her heart, even if I didn't say it, one day, she herself would have come to that point. There is no way for good and bad to be self-inflicted, and a decision is ultimately up to her, whether it is good or bad, how can she rely on others? ”
"Having said that, Shuang'er, you are so bewitching and playing with people's hearts, after all, it is not the right way."
Liu Ru shook her head.
Ximen Shuang smiled proudly: "Who will divide the righteous path and the evil way?" According to me, the winner is the king, the loser is the villain, right and wrong, right and wrong, it is always determined by the successful. The ancestor emperor killed his brother and killed his brother to ascend to the throne, and who would dare to say half a word in later generations? It's not that he is an ancient monarch who has never been in his previous life and is difficult to find in future generations. I've always seen you as an unusual person, when did you learn this sour smell of rot? ”
Seeing her like this, Liu Ru smiled slightly, and then stopped thinking.
Ximen Shuang finished speaking, and also regretted that he had said too much. The average woman's heart is too small, so stupid that she only knows how to dress up and compete for favor Sichun, she doesn't bother to pay attention to it at all, and Liu Ru is also a knowledgeable person in the boudoir and can speak. Even if there are differences of opinion, Fang Cai should not be so excessive.
She hurriedly changed the subject, pretending to be curious and asked, "If so, how do you know, then Red Seven must have come?" ”
"Because she is the head of the Red family."
Liu Ru spit out a few words: "Miss Hong can not come, but as the head of the Hong family, such a great opportunity, if you are afraid, you will not come." Then this red family will have nothing to look forward to. ”
"What? Do you mean that this Red Seven is actually the head of the Red Family? Why haven't I heard about this? ”
Ximen Shuang was really curious now, and rushed Liu Ru to talk in detail, and also uncovered the paragraph just now by the way.
In fact, Red Seven is the head of the Red family, and almost everyone in Suzaku Lane knows about it. However, there are many Wenchen living here, but Ximenshuang is the daughter of the king of Xichuan and belongs to the noble circle. Most of them live in Miyagi. Different circles lead to different news channels.
Originally, the Runan Wangfu lived not very far from them, but Hongqi had not yet boarded the gate of the Runan Wangfu, and Hongda was pregnant and didn't go out, and she also had some concerns about Hongqi becoming the head of the family, so she didn't say anything.
After listening, Ximen Shuang's eyes were full of light, and he looked at Liu Ruis with a smile.
"I'll just say, how could you be interested in such a thing, it turned out to be for her?"
"Shall we make a bet? At the top of this year's list, is it you, me, or will it be her? ”
"What about Jiang San, Mei Da, Liang Er, and Zhou Da?"
Liu asked with a smile.
Ximenshuang dismissed: "A few of them can stumble in those native chickens, at best, they are just pheasants that are better than local chickens, peacocks are not counted, and they still treat themselves as phoenixes." ”
It seems that for the original "Four Beauties of Beijing", Ximen Shuang did not treat them as onions and garlic at all. Not only them, except for Liu Ruyi, everyone else was not taken seriously by Ximenshuang at all. Those women who only have a little love in their eyes, and who have been competing for favor with their husbands and children all their lives, she can't look down on them at all.
Now, there's one more red seven.
A woman who can ignore public opinion and criticism, and dare to do things that others dare not do, not to mention anything else, at least this guts should have a little bit, and it is worth looking forward to.
Let's hope I don't disappoint her.
Otherwise, this Qionghua banquet is too boring.
Red Seven, tomorrow, let's see if you are just a different local chicken, pheasant, or a phoenix that can soar for nine days?
I'll see.
Hong Qi did not live up to Ximen Shuang's expectations, and even came faster than she expected. At a moment that everyone didn't expect, it officially debuted, stirring up the sky and overshadowing everyone.
Even, Simon Cream!
This is something that even Simon Shuang at this time has never thought of.
If I had known that this was the case, how many people would have participated in this year's Qionghua Banquet, and would they dare to participate?
When the bright moon rises into the sky, it is destined to be the time when the stars lose their color. Even Venus, the most dazzling star, can only be helpless or retreat, or become the background of the bright moon.
And to mention the appearance of Red Seven, we can't fail to mention a group of people.
Although Ximenshuang did not take the winners of the last two sessions seriously, this is just her family's words. Others may not be the same as her.
Others say it's not good, but at least, there are four people like this, and they will never think so.
They are none other than the leaders of the two consecutive Qionghua Banquets, Jiang Lihua of Weiyuan Houfu, who is known as the "Four Beauties of the Beijing" by ordinary people, Mei Zifang, the second Miss Liang of the Liang Yushi family, and Zhou Zihua, the Zhou eldest miss of the Zhou Shangshu family.
No matter what their qualifications are, they are ordinary people, but I am afraid that there are few people who will think that they are local chickens, not to mention, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are noble.
Of course, it's a well-deserved phoenix. And they, as the winners of the last two sessions, will be challenged by others tomorrow, especially strong competitors like Liu Ruis and Ning Cairuo, who have a great reputation. Where are they now, and what are they doing?
