Chapter 15: The Bell and the Drums of the First Long Night 1
Chapter 15 The Bell and Drum Begin the Long Night
Autumn is deepening, the vine branches and roses wrapped around the fence wall of the drunken red Xuan are still tenaciously blooming with delicate flowers, the canna under the corridor is blooming, the red, white, and yellow flowers are reflected on the blue gauze pasted on the window, a piece of vitality, and the blue screen window is also dyed with the charm of purple and red.
Wei Wan sat on the couch in front of the window embroidered with the last bit of the peony cat butterfly picture interstitial end. Cui Xi, such as Bing and Pan Zi accompanied on the left and right, dividing the line, pouring tea, and wearing needles.
Taohong came in and said, "Lady, Mother Zhang is here." ”
Wei Wan stopped the needle and thread in her hand and said with a smile: "Please." ”
Taohong opened the curtain, and Zhang's mother came in quickly, and gave a serious salute to Wei Huan, and said, "The second son of Dongfang is waiting for the master's study, saying that he has something to see Huanniang." ”
Wei Wan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Mother Zhang, who do you say is waiting for me?" ”
Mother Zhang said clearly: "Dongfang Yi, the second son of the Dingguo Mansion, is waiting for the lady. ”
At such an unpredictable moment, Dongfang Yi was not afraid to attract suspicion to see her...... There must be something important!
Wei Wan no longer hesitated, and ordered Pan Zi to bring the clothes of the guests.
Pan Zi was just about to turn around to get her clothes, but Rubing stopped her with a smile.
Rubing smiled and said to Wei Huan: "Lady, according to the meaning of the slave, it is better not to see Dongfang Gongzi." ”
Wei Wan smiled lightly: "Why? ”
Rubing glanced at Wei Wan and said with a smile: "The princess brought a letter to the maid yesterday and told the maid about the son of Dongfang. The maid never found a chance to say, and now she told the lady and asked the lady to forgive me. ”
Before Weihuan could say anything, Pan Zi twisted her brows and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly!" What are you doing! ”
Rubing glanced at Pan Zi, with a hint of coldness on her lips, and said with a smile: "Yes." His Royal Highness the Prince wants to give the second county lord of the Qingping royal family to the Dongfang prince as his wife. Dongfang Gongzi has agreed, and the two are discussing the next hire. The Duchess of the Kingdom was so happy about this......"
Pan Zi sneered: "Sister Rubing's news is well-informed. It's just that what is Sister Rubing's intention in telling the lady these words? ”
Rubing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I heard that the princess and the Dongfang prince are good friends, and the affection is extraordinary, and the maid is ......."
Before she finished speaking, Pan Zi interrupted her with an angry shout: "You should be beaten when you say this!" Dongfang Gongzi is a good friend of the lady. But he is a son-in-law, what is the extraordinary relationship with a lady and a boudoir daughter? Isn't that a rumor making trouble when you say that? dared to slander the lady, it can be seen that you have not learned the rules well. Come on, pull her down and hand her over to the mothers to discipline! ”
There was a mother-in-law outside: "Listen to the eldest sister's orders." ”
Pan Zi walked to the door in a few steps and called the two mothers-in-law to pull Rubing.
Ru Bing's face was flushed with anger. This country maid actually grasped the mistake in her words and had a seizure! In the Middle Zhou Empire, the folk customs were open, and it was common for women in the boudoir to have men as friends, but everyone didn't say it on the surface. There is no one to go online and have nothing to do with the name. But the magic is not to say it, not to say everything is natural, if you say it, it is deviant and misbehaved. Now that Rubing has said it, others can make a fuss about her words. In the end, she was accused of framing the daughter of the Houfu......
Rubing saw that there were only the mothers-in-law of the Houfu in the courtyard. These mothers-in-law don't care whether she is from the Tai * Zi Mansion or not, usually some of the people from the Prince's Mansion are inevitably arrogant, these mothers-in-law have a belly of dark anger, if they get the order, they will only have no scruples, where will they be polite to her?
Rubing saw the opportunity quickly, immediately knelt on the ground, and apologized: "The maid originally thought that this Dongfang son must not give up, and came to pester the lady again, so he reminded the lady in vain, I didn't want to say the wrong thing, and the lady atoned for her sins." - If His Royal Highness knows that the servant has done something wrong and is going to kill the servant, please raise your noble hand and let the servant live. ”
actually moved out too * to oppress people!
This is a reminder not to overdo it. It's just that no matter what the reason for Dongfang Yi to come to see her, it's best not to be like ice present.
Wei Wan lazily arranged the silk silk on the white thread skirt with her pink and tender hands, hanging down her thick long eyelashes, and did not look at Rubing, and said softly: "Sister Rubing has spoken for a while." Please face the wall for a day. ”
Rubing gritted her teeth and wanted to do it, seeing that Weihuan's expression was soft and gentle, but her eyes were firm, she knew that she would not change her mind, and she wanted to do anything shameless in broad daylight, no matter how bold this goblin was, he would not dare to do anything shameful......
At that moment, he bowed respectfully, and silently followed the two mothers-in-law, and they looked at the wall.
Pan Zi took the clothes, and while helping Weihuan put them on, she whispered: "She is interesting, she has gone down to the wall to think about it, it is better than being pulled by the mother-in-law to listen to the training." I don't know what happened to Childe......"
That time in the prince's mansion, Dongfang Gongzi left in a rage, and this time he had no news for more than two months, and when he suddenly visited, there were rumors that the prince was going to give marriage...... Is it to break off with the lady?
Thinking like this, Pan Zi's heart was full of anger.
Weiwan didn't notice Pan Zi's expression, although she had doubts, her heart couldn't help but be excited and happy...... She hadn't seen him in two months!
Weiwan held Pan Zi's hand, walked through the garden, and came to the courtyard of the outer study.
There were already maidservants waiting to serve in the outer study. When he saw Wei Huan, he led Wei Wan into the study.
The study room is large and bright. There was a large bookshelf on the wall next to the backlit window, and there were not many books on the shelf; There are maps on the walls, and all kinds of swords are hung; A big case of blue paint near the window. There is a two-foot-high coral bonsai on the table; Green jade paperweights, knives with agate handles, wolf hair with topaz rods, gold inkstones, treasure inkstones, jade, seals and other men's gadgets are placed in a random and orderly manner.
There are carved high-backed chairs behind and on both sides of the large desk. By the door in the corner, there are bonsai of plants growing luxuriantly.
As soon as Wei Wan Lianbu entered the door, she saw Dongfang Yi sitting in a high-backed chair at the bottom of her hand. Jinghou Zhuang Wei sat on the Taishi chair behind the big case, playing with the Crouching Tiger paperweight of bloodstone in his hand, his thick eyebrows were slightly locked, and his face was sinking like water.
Wei Wanfu bowed and said, "My daughter has seen my father." The bright eyes couldn't help but sweep from under the long eyelashes to Dongfang Yi's face.
He was dark, thin. Wearing silk cloth armor decorated with leopard head and shoulders, even when sitting in a chair, he looks broad-shouldered and straight-backed, tall and majestic; The eyebrows and facial features are more angular, less elegant, and more majestic. The black hair is fixed with a beaded hairpin with a trembling flower head, and the crown of red gold hair is placed on the head, which makes the eyebrows even more handsome and elegant.
He looked at himself intently, with such a look of surprise, joy and worry, but seeing that he had lost weight, he was worried?
